00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.440 You know, uh I I am a Jay-Z, I would say, fan. 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.480 I don't want to consider myself myself a stand of anybody. 00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:38.399 Uh but Jay is that guy for me, man. 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:40.320 I'm from the towns, I'm from Brooklyn, New York. 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:46.639 So for me, seeing Jay as a young kid, as an artist, you know, that that was the early stages of my fandom. 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:49.600 Uh so much that people used to think I looked like Jay back then. 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:51.120 Whatever it is, what it is. 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:58.559 But at this point, man, Jay has done a lot uh for culture, a lot in music, uh a lot in, you know, the business world as well. 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:04.000 And now he's you know putting another another point on the board for his resume with now doing a Super Bowl show. 00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:13.759 Um I know a lot of people have had some things to say not so positively about it, and he's been taking a little bit of flack recently, uh especially after the weekend at the LA shows. 00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:23.839 Um, and I do I want to say I can't understand some people's gripes with Jay um as far as how he moves and how he is in, you know, just life and business. 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:54.640 Uh but you know, at at some point we do just gotta give up respect and love and praise to someone who has again done so many things in the music industry and in business, and so many things uh I would say for you know the people that look like us um in the you know the black community with some of the initiatives that he's gone out there and you know been the at the the um at the forefront of, you know, and just you know really spearheaded and just put you know himself out there to to make a stand for certain things. 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:58.480 Um and I know we have this back and forth with him always because he does shit sometimes. 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:06.960 It's like yo, bro, why are you doing that if you're you know of and about the black community, but he's also done, you know, documented things uh for the black community. 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:12.480 Uh so I do, you know, want to give him enough grace to just appreciate the moment that he's gonna have. 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:14.960 Um and uh well deserved, man. 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:24.079 I know he's on the board for the the you know the who chooses to have the halftime show every single year at this point now with his partnership with the NFL, which he caught flag four years ago. 00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:32.880 If you're in that position, hell yeah, I'm pulling myself up there one time, especially if I'm an artist who's of that caliber uh and has that history, that track record, then why the fuck not? 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:34.079 I gave everybody else a shot. 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:38.319 I got my people up there, I got the reasons up there, I got the Kendrick's up there, I gave y'all bad money. 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:39.200 Now it's my turn. 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.400 Like it's my turn to get out there and rock the Super Bowl shows. 00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.680 I would say I am looking forward to it. 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:49.119 Um I'm also gonna say that I know it's gonna be a show. 00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:50.000 Well, we'll see. 00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:50.720 We'll see. 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:59.119 Uh I think the last two Super Bowl shows have been a lot more on the political side as far as the uh the visuals and the imagery that's gone into the production of the show. 00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:06.000 Um so I want to see what Jay does with this opportunity, you know, and I know he's had a lot of, you know, people kicking his back in lately. 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:19.440 So I do think that him having this moment to do something with, uh, whether it be drop an album before, we'd love another whole album, or whether it just be a dope performance, I do think it's an opportunity for him to do something big with it, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he does, you know. 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:33.359 I'm not gonna say the songs he's gonna perform are probably gonna be my favorite Jay song just because, you know, we know who the show has to kind of cater to uh for it to be something that's successful or something that's palatable uh for the you know the the viewership of the Super Bowl. 00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:35.279 But either way, I think it'll be dope. 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:43.920 Shouts to Jay on that one, just a quick tidbit, you know, not gonna spend too long there, because moving forward, we gotta get to the NBA being backing in business. 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:54.720 As a basketball guy, you know, it's a it's it's a big time of year for me, and I'm happy to see the NBA back in full swing, as much as I have a love-hate relationship for the NBA. 00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:58.400 Uh, I do think it's good to see, you know, just hoops and even college hoops too. 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:02.400 You know, the boys Marquette back out there playing the college landscape, the NBA landscape. 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:03.680 It's just hoop season. 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:11.519 Um so always some a time here that I look forward to, you know, from being with someone who's played the game himself uh to now being a spectator of the game. 00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:14.640 Uh I do think

that we are in an exciting time. 00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:24.559 Um not so exciting time if you are a New York Knicks fan, uh, just because the Knicks have taken ass whooping on ass whooping on ass whooping to start the season. 00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:33.759 Um and it is not exactly what we expected uh as New York Knicks fans, but as New York Knicks fans, we should be used to being fucking disappointed by the New York Knicks at this point. 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:49.200 If we've learned nothing in whatever length of life you've had as a Knicks fan, you have to understand that they're going to disappoint you and do not let that 53-year drought to now get a championship to that's then us being back on top make anything else change. 00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:53.200 Like we was just mad at the Knicks last season before they won the championship. 00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:58.880 Like you're gonna be mad at the Knicks at some point, and right now we're just mad at the Knicks as they started off looking like dog shit. 00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:10.079 Like, I don't understand what's going on with the Knicks, but I can maybe, you know, think about some things that may be getting in trouble or getting them in trouble, I would say, as far as how they play. 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:22.559 But I don't think it's any kind of surprise that they are 0 and 3 to start the season with, you know, tonight's game, you know, as of release of this podcast, it'll be last night's game against the Detroit Pistons, uh as another chance for them to take an L. 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:27.279 Because we know how the Pistons have been dog shitting like the Knicks throughout the regular season. 00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:31.200 And was a w matchup they was we was a little worried about last season headed into the playoffs. 00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:44.000 If he wasn't worried about that matchup as a Knicks fan, if it was a potential matchup after they, you know, lost to Cleveland, obviously we went on to play Cleveland, but if we would have played the Pistons last season, that might have been the end of our playoff run because we never look good against them. 00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.599 Um and we'll see how it goes now. 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:51.680 The Pistons are out there, they're looking competitive still, so it could end up on four. 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:59.680 And if it does end up on four, it just leans on a lot of the numbers that we've been seeing for the Knicks, and the Knicks are like dead last in two of the most important stats. 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.519 Uh, in order for you to win games as an NBA team. 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.279 But we are 30th of 30 teams in the NBA in scoring. 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:12.799 The Knicks are dead last in the league, averaging a mere 101.7 points per game. 00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:16.079 Another stat, 30th in offensive efficiency. 00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:21.200 Their rating sits at a dismal one, well 100.2. 00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:29.359 Uh now, on top

of that, bottom tier shooting, we are now shooting 40.9% as a ball club, which is now 29th in the NBA. 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.599 So Knicks are playing like shit. 00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:38.559 Like they're playing like shit, you know, and it just goes to show that we need to get it the fuck together in order for us to turn this thing around. 00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:46.079 And I do think it's a little bit challenging uh to start the season as a championship team anyway, because they're gonna get everybody's best shot. 00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:54.319 It does not help when you're not playing your best basketball to start the season, and you really don't have that much time to, you know, get it in gear. 00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:55.440 You're in the mix of it now. 00:22:55.519 --> 00:23:00.960 We already know the East Coast is gonna be a gauntlet, and we ain't starting off that gauntlet too well. 00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:06.400 Um, I do think we can lean on some players who need to step their shit up, Mikhail Bridges being one of them. 00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:10.400 Uh, I'm a guy who it was documented last year, my thoughts on Mikhail Bridges. 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.799 I do not understand how much money this guy makes for the production that he puts out. 00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:17.519 Um, and he just disappears in a lot of games. 00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:25.039 You know, we won, cool, all that is great, you know, but it doesn't change the issues that we had last season uh at certain points. 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:32.640 And Mikel has proven that he can play in big moments, but I don't think his consistency as a player uh is something we can count on. 00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:40.640 And one of the worst things you could be as a sports person, as a person who's an athlete on a team, like one of the worst things you could be is inconsistent. 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:53.519 Because if you don't know what to your, well, if your teammates, I would say, your organization doesn't know what they're gonna get from when you're on a night-to-night basis, then from there you're not really a reliable source to factor into whatever they're doing, you know. 00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:58.880 And I had that realization a long, long time ago in college, and I was on the same shit, you know. 00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:12.079 And one of my coaches, Tom Crean, salutes love, you know, he told me early on in my college career, like, you can be this good, but you're not living up to it consistently, you know, and then that makes me not feel like I can count on you. 00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:15.279 And that goes for all sports across, especially team sports. 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:17.359 Like, bro, you gotta step your shit the fuck up. 00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:18.720 Like, it is just is what it is. 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:23.359 Like the person who was playing in the Brooklyn uniform before we brought your ass over here for all those picks. 00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:29.039 I know it was years ago at this point, but when we have moments like this, somebody has to get the spotlight. 00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:31.039 And for now, I think it's Mikhail Bridges. 00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:32.880 Jalen Brunson, you gotta step your shit up too. 00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:34.160 He's shooting like under 40%. 00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.640 Um, he's averaging, I think, the most points per game or top points per game in the league. 00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:40.160 But again, he's not shooting well. 00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:41.839 So gotta step your shit up. 00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.680 And again, I know we're getting everybody's best shot, but nobody gives a fuck, bro. 00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:46.640 Like nobody cares. 00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:52.880 And as Knicks fans, we got to turn this shit around, and or we're gonna be looking at freaking playing by the end of the season. 00:24:52.960 --> 00:25:03.839 And we don't want to be one of them teams who now is the third team recently with the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks of 2011 coming back from winning the championship to starting off the season 0-3. 00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:04.960 Those stats are cool. 00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:11.359 I hear all that shit, but you know, we don't want to carry that shit on headed towards, you know, the end of the year, headed towards the all-star break. 00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:14.559 Like, we gotta pick this shit the fuck up and get it going like yesterday. 00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.200 And that's just my message to the Knicks as a Knicks fan. 00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.680 I'm not burning down the house just yet, but I do think that we gotta get some shit together. 00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.039 And that's just how it is. 00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:25.599 Put out a better product on the floor next, please. 00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:26.880 Please do so. 00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:30.960 That aside, a lot of other great things in the NBA going on. 00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:33.200 You know, Luca just dropped the 50 ball last night. 00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:33.920 Great to see that. 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:42.240 You know, I know him and the him and homeboy from um Yaxel from Golden State Warriors had their little back and forth to open up the season. 00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:43.119 It's just exciting. 00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:45.119 You know, it's good to see like beef in the NBA. 00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:49.440 I know Jalen Brown and Um Jason Tatum got their little shit going on. 00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:50.640 Makes for great storylines. 00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:55.599 And it's glad to see people like either not really like each other or not really embracing each other like that. 00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:59.279 Uh, and just see how they back it up when they play each other because that's what it's really all about. 00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:00.960 Like how that shit goes down on the court. 00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:02.640 Shouts to Kyrie, too. 00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:05.359 Um, seeing him playing well from coming back from

his injury. 00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:09.039 Big fan, as always, you know, love just his game in general. 00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:19.440 I love how he goes out there and plays um and beating the shit out of the Miami Heat, who I just knew that roster really wasn't gonna be that good to begin with, and definitely ain't looking like it right now. 00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:21.680 Um, but who am I to you know judge anyone? 00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.480 We at the bottom of the league as a as a Knicks fan. 00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:26.480 But either way, hoops is back, man. 00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:27.039 Enjoy it. 00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:29.839 See how the rest of the season goes as we progress forward. 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:50.079 But moving forward from there, uh, one thing I wanted to kind of really dive in on today before I get out of here is uh just uh a lot of the thought process that people as either business owners, uh creators, uh anyone who's like uh, you know, go against the grain, not a nine to five, take a check kind of person. 00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:58.319 Um, and just the the mindset that goes into that, uh the mindset that could go into some people of that, you know, of that cloth like we're talking about. 00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:00.160 Um I've been seeing a lot of it lately. 00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:07.920 Um it always kind of pops up and comes back and you know, it goes up and down, or you see a post every few months from it or something like that. 00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:23.359 But I feel like I've seen a lot more recently, just about you know, the the support that you get from your friends as a you know business owner or someone who you know needs either some kind of attention or you know, financial support in order to make your mission grow. 00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:35.519 Um, and uh I I do understand it because it is kind of frustrating to see the people who are closest to you not always fully support uh what your dreams and ambitions are or you know, whatever you're looking to do. 00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:45.920 Um, but I do think that we lean too much into that shit just because it's a cool way to call out our friends for not, you know, being there for you in that way. 00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:56.559 Um, and again, everybody can feel how they feel, but I do think when you lean on that mentality, it's kind of like you're missing the bigger picture when it comes to whatever the hell you want to do. 00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:02.880 Like you are not entitled to anyone's support from you know your close circle, uh, even if it's nice to have. 00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:08.000 And I pretty much said this on this podcast way, way back, you know, one of my one of my earlier episodes. 00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:12.559 But uh the support you get from people is not something that you are entitled to. 00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:20.720 Um, and it's just has to, it has to be your mindset, just because you're not gonna get the support from the people that you're thinking is gonna

come from, regardless. 00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:22.240 And if it does, then great. 00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:23.359 You take that to the bank. 00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:26.000 Those are the people you love, those are the people you appreciate. 00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:31.279 Uh, but sometimes the things you are doing are not gonna connect with the people that are closest to you. 00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:33.839 Um and it's not their job to understand it, you know. 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:39.680 Like in my position, in my you know, life, my lane right now, I run a podcast. 00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:45.680 You know, I'm the one who comes in here, records every week, I'm the one who edits the shit every week, I'm the one who puts it out every week. 00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:50.799 I've done the steps to be a fully functioning content machine on my own. 00:28:50.880 --> 00:29:00.640 And that's maybe to pat myself on the back a little bit, but also for me to understand that when I even dial dove into this thing full force, like some people ain't gonna understand that shit. 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.160 Like, I got close homies and friends who don't fuck with podcasts. 00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:14.160 You know, I got people who, you know, are in my life as a person who owns a gym and runs a business there who I've been, yo, suggesting and yo, you should come on by. 00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:17.119 Let's get you into your fitness regimen, let's do the da da da da da, whatever. 00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:32.000 They ain't shown up, or they shown up once and you know, they never came back, or like, you know, the people that are closest to you aren't always gonna understand what your vision is or aren't always gonna connect with your vision because it might not be something that is it resonates with them. 00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:35.680 And that has to be okay, you know, that has to be okay too. 00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:37.359 Is it great to get the support from them? 00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:50.720 Yes, but it has to also be okay when they don't support you because you should always be looking past your friends and not crying for support from them just because they don't understand the path that you're trying to walk and you know what could get you there. 00:29:50.799 --> 00:30:05.680 Like some people, when it comes to the whole social media thing, because this is what you mostly see, you know, someone who you know don't share your posts, someone who you know don't engage with your posts, someone who you know like all those things, like yeah, some people don't also understand that that engagement helps you grow further. 00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:14.640 Like some people don't really understand the machine and the algorithm and all that stuff, and how them boosting your posts is gonna make it go a little bit further to maybe other people. 00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:30.000 But knowing that and embracing it is also something that's different, you know, because when you embrace it and understand that when it comes to your visions, your beliefs, your your goals, you are alone in that and you're the one who has to go out there and make it happen. 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:36.319 That's when you really understand that it's just time for me to work and grind and make this shit happen out the mud, you know? 00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:47.599 And your friends are always gonna be the ones that are looking, your friends are always gonna be the ones that are watching, potentially, because I got friends sometimes who I'll post shit and they never even seen it because their algorithm leaned a whole nother way, you know. 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:58.960 So if they are the ones that are watching and they're not supporting, just know that they're watching and sometimes it's out of hate, and those friends will expose themselves over time, just make right decisions and then move those people out of your life. 00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:16.960 But sometimes your all friends also want to see you put the work in to get to your own goal without having to lean on them because they might also understand that, yo, I might not really fuck with this podcast shit, but I know my man got a podcast, and as soon as that shit blows, because I know he's gonna put the work in to get it there, I'm gonna, you know, give him that salute, give him that congratulations. 00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:18.319 Like I understand it. 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:30.079 It is frustrating, it is like lonely sometimes to be someone who's a creative, who has visions, who has goals and things they want to work towards, and it feels like nobody's supporting you, and my reach isn't what it wants to be, what I want it to be. 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:34.640 You know, I'm not getting that the attention that I want, the eyes on me, like that kind of stuff. 00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:36.640 I get it, it's a real frustration. 00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:43.759 But when you start looking at the ones who are closest to you, how many people are you gonna like count before you actually run out? 00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:54.079 And then when you run out of people that you can count that you will want to support you, actually how many dollars that was gonna bring into your business in the first place, or you know, how much attention it was gonna bring to for the say the content creators and all that stuff. 00:31:54.240 --> 00:32:03.759 Like once you take out those few people with me and maybe like a good five to ten who I really, really care about if they would, you know, want to like or engage with my stuff. 00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:06.160 But you know, outside of that, I need more people. 00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:14.079 You got to reach past them, you know, and sometimes it's getting creative, finding the ways to be a better content creator just so your shit grows even more. 00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:26.559 You know, sometimes it's getting creative with your marketing as a business owner and figuring out ways to bring people who are not your close circle into your business because those aren't gonna be the ones that spend the most money with you just because they're not meant to, you know. 00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:36.240 And I do get it, but we gotta really just check in with ourselves and understand that you gotta stay on the mission because the mission has to be completed regardless. 00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:37.759 Like it just has to be. 00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:44.799 So whoever's supporting you that you are around, that really, really, you know, they they fuck with you, they rock with you, keep them people close, man. 00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:45.599 Appreciate it. 00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:55.680 But the ones that are not, then again, they either fall in two categories the ones that you know might be a hater, and the ones that you know just might not connect with it, but they do want the best for you in your life, you know? 00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:57.279 And that is what it is. 00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.440 So with that said, we here for a good time, not a long time today. 00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:02.480 Gotta get back out here. 00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:15.359 I really got a bunch of shit that's going on right now uh that I gotta get to, you know, without dragging this thing out too long uh and making it uh un unpleasurable views uh listening experience. 00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:18.640 So uh with that said, man, we out of here as always. 00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:20.240 Stay safe in this crazy world. 00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:25.279 Guard yourself mentally, physically, spiritually, and all things in between. 00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:29.119 And as we tap out for episode number 93, we'll catch you on the next go round. 00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.599 EFS Podcast is out of peace.
