Then three years in, fam, he had had enough of their shit. Oh, and he went solo. Fam, he must have had so many people telling him, like, big man. Why are you in this group?

Woo! Right. The fun fact of the day is on November 8th, 2017, a young Chinese man named Wu Yong Ning tried to pull off, tried to do pull-ups on the side of a 62-story building and it was the last decision he ever made. So he was an internet, um,
A terrifying stunt man. So he climbed up a building and he was meant to, like I said, it was meant to be doing pull-ups on it and he gained millions of followers and blah, blah, blah, blah. By the time of his death, he had 62, he had 300,000 followers. But when he fell from a, he fell from a 62 story skyscraper in China, but he didn't drop immediately like to the ground. He apparently landed on like a terrace or something, but he was meant to propose to his wife.
I think a week later. So he was raising funds. That's the reason why he was doing all these stunts. Wow. He was raising funds. For an engagement ring. For an engagement ring to propose to his wife like the week after. And his wife confirmed that he had passed away, which was in 2017. So yeah, it was a stuntman who rose to fame by scaling places and doing...
Stunts and stuff, yeah. And that was the last thing we ever did. The thing is, I hate that it had to be him. Bro. That someone needed to die from all this shit. For someone to realise that this ain't the way to go. This ain't it, bro. This ain't it. When I'm on Instagram and shit and these men are hanging off cliffs, doing all this foolishness. No, man. Stop. Stop. Fam. And the thing is, it's so popular now that you ain't even going to get famous from it. Bro. I don't even... When I see the videos, I don't even check to see who the guy doing it is. No.
I don't even check to see who that guy is. I just move the fuck on with my life. I kiss my teeth and I scroll up. I say, these men are foolish. I don't even think that the person... It doesn't even cross my mind that the person that's doing it is a guy that does this. Do you know what I mean? I just look at it and think, fucking hell. And then just scroll up. So this needs to stop. It does need to stop. For one, it's a saturated market. And for two, we didn't even check for you. We scroll up. So if you're a stunt guy...
and you're looking for fame, bro, pick another, pick something else. Yeah, man. Because it ain't worth it, man.
High risk, high reward, but high risk, bro. Fam. There's more risk than there is reward. Are you seeing them, man, that climb up those towers? You know the ones with like... Minimal tilt? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not them ones. Like, it's not even a tower. Like, it looks like a fucking... Like a radio fucking thing. Okay. And it's got like an antenna at the top. Okay. And they're like hanging off the antenna. And they're looking down and you think, how did you even get up there? I've not. It's not even like a building you can climb up. Oh, man. It's like a fucking...
Like an Eiffel Tower-esque looking tattoo. Yeah, one of them looking things, but like real skinny. Bro, I see them and I'm like, what are you thinking? What are you actually thinking? Speaking of, did you see that, right? There was a random TikTok going around the other day. One guy that nearly got struck by lightning in a swimming pool. Did you see it? No. Fam, there's a guy filming himself. It's pouring down with rain. Pouring down with rain. And he's got a pool in his back garden. Yeah.
And he goes with his GoPro or something and he's like, bro, I love swimming when it's this kind of weather. And he jumps off and he's about... The thingy. Jumps off the ledge to jump into the pool. And as he's in the air, lightning strikes his swimming pool and then he lands. No fucking way. Swear to God. Man would have... He would have died immediately. He would have died immediately.
Oh my God. He's this close to jumping in, like getting in the pool. He's like here, bro. I'm surprised he didn't send that. And then you see, and then it's just, he jumps, he falls in. To be fair, I see so much shocking shit on TikTok. I don't know what to send. That reminds me of, there was a TikTok. It was a guy that was doing, he's a fan of Naruto and he was doing like a Chidori thing.
Like, sign thing. And it was raining outside. But he was just recording himself. Obviously, the background music's there. But it was raining outside. But as soon as he did it, lightning struck. Wow. And he looked back like, oh my God, this is fucking sick, bro. That is sick. Like, what are the odds? And it looked incredible. That sounds sick. It looked fucking incredible. That sounds sick. There's a girl that does hand signs. Have you seen it? No.
but I probably like an Asian girl. She does it like she gets in like full makeup and there's like a split screen of like her. There's like her here in like a black room and she's just doing it. And then she'll pull up like different Naruto scenes like rotating through. And one would be like Kakashi versus Zabuza. And then there'll be like Sasuke doing some shit. And even when, do you remember when Sasuke was using Naruto to do like his hand signs? I don't remember. No,
He was like beefing Naruto. Okay. And then he'd like grab his arm and then do like a hand sign and then beef him again and then do like another one. It was sick. She was even doing like single handed ones, bro. She's sick. Them tings there are just, they're too gang. Fam, fam. This ting is just. These are too gang, bro. It's too live. Fuck. It's sick. Naruto is staple.
staple anime i hate the fact that it doesn't get it obviously gets the top three it gets a lot of credit but true true anime fans are like oh it's too commercial do you know i mean it's too commercial like they don't check for them once which i can understand but when you it's actually unbelievably good it's as famous as it is because it's so good of course once we start entering like the akatsuki bits
You're like, this show is the one, bro. It's insane. It gets dark. It's insane, bro. It gets dark, bro. Naruto is the one, man.
I'm so happy I jumped on when I jumped on. Same, G. Fuck. Even early days when around the time where Sasuke versus like Orochimaru, when he gets his first curse mark in the trees, in the tuning exams, and he's just recently unlocked his Sharingan. I think this is when he gets his second circle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because he gets the first one in like the tuning exams early days and he gets the second one because then he's copying Rock Lee because Rock Lee challenges him, isn't it?
And Rock Lee tries the Lotus Ting and then he clocks it and then when he's scrapping, he does the Lotus Ting. He does the Lotus Ting, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not pleased like now, what the fuck? How? How? How? Literally how? But then when he's fighting Orochimaru in the forest, he gets his second one, I'm sure. Orochimaru. And he's putting arms on Orochimaru. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's doing all the fire jutsu.
Mad. And they changed... You know what's going on when they change the animation style. Bros... One, when they change the animation style and two, when they change the opening credits music. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Every time they change the music, I'm thinking something's popping off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've made a development. Fam? And you have to watch the opening credits and you have to watch the closing credits because you have to see...
It tells you tales. It tells you tales, bro. You see different powers. You see different characters. Yeah, bro. This is where I'm up to in... Remember I told you My Hero in the previous episode or episode before? My Hero is part one, part two type thing. So I'm on a part two now. So the music's changed. Where am I? You're not there yet. And it's just... You just know it's going to pop second season. Second half of this season. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going to pop, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm so sorry, guys. I know you guys...
87% of you don't watch anime. Don't fuck with anime. But clearly we do. Hence the reason why we talk about it quite often. But you guys need... I was in your shoes, guys. The guys that don't watch anime, the 87% of you that don't watch anime, I was in your shoes 11, 12 years ago, bro.
Trust me, just watch one... Watch the trailer. Watch the first episode of Death Note and then come chat to me. Tell me I'm wrong. Yeah, bro. Tell me it's not fucking addictive. Yeah, bro, it's unreal. Because that's how I got Bella into anime. Bella never used to watch anime. Bella watched one episode of anime, one episode of Death Note, rap. She's now watching Hunter X Hunter. She was watching Boruto when I used to watch Boruto. She was watching...
She watched a couple of episodes of My Hero. She watched a couple of episodes of... She watched Vinland Saga through and through with me. Vinland Saga, sick! First lockdown, she watched the whole Vinland Saga with me. Thorin and Demandere? I was going to say, you never even spoke to me about Vinland Saga. Oh, I can't...
I'm surprised I didn't. At the time, I'm surprised I didn't. Because I was preaching it for time. Yeah. So I'm surprised you've watched the whole thing and didn't even tell me you watched it. I'm surprised I didn't. Because the thing is, I can't remember you preaching it to me, but I'm sure you were the one that recommended it to me. Oh, 100%, yeah. I recommended it to you when I was like one episode in. Oh, is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I saw it on comments on our YouTube. Recommendations. YouTube recommendations, blah, blah, blah. So we watched it during lockdown. And bro, who is, what's the prayer's name that actually doppied Thorfinn's dad?
What's his name? I can't remember. I haven't watched it in ages. Because he is arms. He has values. As much as he was like the antagonist of the show, his core values, bro. This is one of the main reasons why I love anime. It teaches you so much stuff about life. And people don't understand because it's animated. They think, oh, it's childish. But if you actually deep what they say and how they actually...
put pieces together it's ah it's it unravels a new world it changes the way you think about stuff yeah and this is the reason why i love anime yeah because it taps into things that you thought weren't possible ah bro oh i love anime i love anime but what you got for me today
Speaking of Anime Japan Tokyo Olympics Okay Anime Japan Tokyo Olympics They'll be here Obviously I've been watching the Olympics First of all I'm pretty sure I'm one of three people Watching the Olympics right now I'm not watching it at all No one's watching it Because it's like Dickhead O'Clock

Because more time, like obviously I do a lot of late shifts. So when I come home from work sometimes and I'm just chilling or whatever, come home, put the TV on, it says Olympics 2020 live. And that's at like 2am and I'm like, okay, fair play. But now they're running it all
day bro they start because I was watching the skateboarding the other day oh yeah bro they got first year they've ever got skateboarding in it these men are going off off it's already finished but you can still watch it on day two
You've got an iPlayer, live. I was watching skateboarding and they were saying, oh, it's like 8 a.m. here in Tokyo. And I'm thinking, right, you might not run in there at 8 a.m. But they just run it all day, bro. I'm not skateboarding at 8 a.m., by the way. I've never had breakfast. I've not had breakfast. Fam, when he said it's 8 a.m., that's exactly word for word what I said. I said, I'm not skateboarding at 8 a.m. If I'm a skateboarder, I want to live chill. Yeah. I'm not skateboarding at 8 a.m. You can't make me.
If you want that gold, bitch, you better. 8am. But basically, what I was going to say is, for one, I don't think anyone's watched the Olympics, which breaks my heart. It breaks my heart because, bro, I have been an advocate for the Olympics my whole life. Same, same, same. From when I was a little kid, I was obsessed with the Olympics. Sorry to cut you off. We will get back to you about that. But I think one of the main reasons why I'm not engulfed in it as much, I saw the opening ceremony or like maybe an hour of it.
but because there's no fans or there's no spectators everything away everything away from it and it's like so depressing damn bro yeah so depressing like these men are all coming out with their countries and they're all like there's no one there bro are you waving that it's a shame it's a massive shame it sucks it's because tokyo's in like uh state of emergency right now oh is it bro apparently they did a survey and it's like 58 of japanese people are opposed to the olympics
So the majority of people in Japan want the Olympics cancelled. Really? Just to get over this COVID thing? They're suffering in Japan right now. Wow. Okay. I know nothing about that. They're suffering in Japan right now. They've got cases through the roof. Okay. So they're in what they call a state of emergency in Japan right now. And then the Olympics rolls through.
There's 11,000 athletes in the Olympics. So there's 11,000 extra people from every country in the world in Tokyo right now, not including their coaches or their family, whoever else they brought out with them, physios, whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Commentators, cameramen, all these people, thousands upon thousands upon thousands of people are all centralized in their capital city right now whilst they're suffering in
Like the most they've suffered with COVID. So I'm not surprised that people are like, are you joking? This can't run. But that aside, I was watching the Naomi Osaka docuseries on Netflix. Okay. Do you know who she is? Yeah, the tennis player. She did the fire thing. She did the fire thing for the open ceremony. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she's got a three-part series on Netflix. Okay. Banging. Okay. Banging.
And there's a few bits that stuck out. There's two bits that stuck out for me that are deep. And we've had a funny episode. I don't want to kill the buzz, but I think it's interesting. I'm here for it. So basically you watch it and it talks about what? A man said I'm an affiliate. A man said what am I an affiliate for? Drugs, alcohol, rock and roll. That's too funny for you. I'm so sorry. That's too funny. I'm so sorry. Fuck. A man said bro at the end. I'm an affiliate, bro.
My head was doing loops like an Amazon affiliate. Like, what are you talking about? Let me break the chair. Oh, my days. Yeah, sorry. Naomi Osaka, Netflix, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So first thing...
Which is dread as it's going through. Cause it's real time. Like the ting ends. The final episode is in 2021. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, um, it follows her through like her highs and lows and stuff like that. Um, and the first bit, there's two like really sad bits. The first one, obviously. So for context, if you don't know who Naomi Osaka is, she's a professional tennis player. She is half Japanese, half Haitian.
Both her parents are immigrants from obviously their respective countries. And they moved to America when she was three. I think she was born in Japan. And she moved to the US when she was three. Her own assistant. What a mix, by the way. Haitian and Japanese, bro. Yeah, mad. Mad.
Fuck. I love shit like that. Yeah. Same. I love shit like that. So anyway, she's professional tennis player. She's won the Australian open. And I think she's won the U S open twice now. I think I might be getting mixed up, but she's top. Um, first time she won the U S open, she'd be in. No, no,
Australian Open or US Open I can't remember she beat Serena Williams for it I remember that one I can't remember which one it was but I do remember that one yeah yeah yeah that was her first Grand Slam week because Serena congratulated her blah blah blah I remember that was her first Grand Slam week yeah yeah yeah so anyway
It talks about kind of the pressures and stuff like that. 16 or 17 or something stupid like that as well. She was young. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry to keep cutting you off, by the way. So it talks about that. And the first, and she had a really close relationship with Kobe Bryant. Okay. So she was really good friends with Kobe Bryant. Okay. And during the doggie series, it goes through Kobe Bryant's death. Okay. So this is peak. So basically her relationship with Kobe Bryant was basically him taking like a mentor role for her.
in just dealing with the pressures of being a superstar, basically a young superstar and what everything that comes with it with that and how you can continue to perform at a higher level with all this pressure. So that she would come to Kobe and say, Oh, I'm struggling with this. I'm struggling with this psychologically. Like, how do you deal with this? And how do you deal with this? Like, I want that Mamba mentality kind of thing.
And he would obviously help. And when he died, she was broken, fam. She lost tournaments when he died. She was broken. And they interviewed her. And they asked her how she's feeling. On the day that he died, they interviewed her about it. Because obviously everyone knew that she had a good relationship with him. And fam, oh my God. It was so sad. It resonated with me in a way sometimes that I'll explain. But...
Yeah, obviously the first point was Kobe. He died and then they said to her, like, how are you feeling and stuff like that. She was crying and she said, I feel like I'm betraying his legacy and I feel like a failure because he spends all his time, whenever I go to him for help, he spends so much time with me, coaching me through this and I come to him and say, how do you deal with this psychologically and how do you deal with that psychologically and all of this stuff? And she's like, he tells me,
But I'm so weak mentally that I don't implement it. I'm not mentally strong enough to take the advice he's given me and implementing it. I'm just weak. But I don't tell him that I'm not implementing it because I'm too embarrassed. And she just lost a match. I think she'd lost round one of the US Open. She just lost round one of the US Open. She was out.
in either round one or round two, but she was still in the rounds. No quarterfinal semis, nothing. She was still in the round 16 rounds and she'd got kicked out and she'd typed a text to him to say, how do you deal with this kind of thing? And she said, the reason I lost is because I'm not taking the advice he's giving me because I'm so mentally weak.
And I've just lost. And I typed him a text asking how to deal with it. But I was too ashamed to send it because the whole reason I've lost is because I'm mentally weak because I don't have the mamba mentality. That's why I lost. Yeah. I lost because I'm not, I don't have mamba mentality and that's why I'm lost. Yeah. So once I've lost, I typed him a text, but I was too embarrassed to send it. Yeah. So I never sent it. And now he's dead and I'll never speak to him again.
I'll never get any advice from him again. And he could, this is the lowest point in my career. And I was too embarrassed to contact my friend. And now I'll never speak to him again. And I'll never be able to press send. I'll never, that text was still typed and I'll never be able to press send. Bro, I wanted to cry for her. I actually wanted to cry for her because especially when she said I was embarrassed because he's given me all this advice and I'm not implementing it. Yeah. I felt it resonated with me because,
In a way, because I don't ask people for advice, they give it to me and then I don't implement it. But a lot of the time I act as if it's taken a dark turn. Not dark turn, but like a serious turn. Obviously, I act so positive all the time that...
certain people relate that to me. Do you know what I mean? Certain people think like when they're feeling down, they turn to me and they're struggling with like our friends. Obviously we have friends that want, are trying to achieve certain things. And I have friends that aren't in our immediate circle that are trying to achieve certain things. And not that we've achieved anything really, but they,
look at what we're doing and they'll contact me and say bro i want to do this i want to do that and i'm struggling with this and that and i'll hit him up and just be like bro i won't say obviously mamba mentality but i'm like bro it's all about men it's all about where your head's at like granted you don't want to do it sometimes you don't want to do it but you've got to wake up fucking open your laptop and start doing it and once you start doing it just keep doing it once you keep doing it you just do it and do it and do it and don't stop doing it i've got the itchiest nose fucking hell fuck me
Sorry. Sorry. But once you just do it, you just keep doing it and keep doing it and keep doing it. Before you know it, you're done. And before you know, if you keep doing it, you'll get yourself in a position where you have to do it. That's where we're at. We have to do it. We don't have a choice anymore. So now I don't need motivation to do it because I ain't got a choice. Just like work. Yeah.
You make it your work. And once it's your work, because you're not motivated to go to work every day, but you do it anyway. You've got no choice. So you put yourself in a position where motivation isn't a factor anymore. And that's when you'll succeed. And I'll chat all this. Yeah, I'm working to quit my job. Yeah, I'm working to quit my job. Grinding, grinding, grinding. Yes, quit my job. All these congratulations messages like, well done, well done, well done, well done, well done. And it's like, I'm too embarrassed to tell them sometimes that I wake up so depressed that I can't even bear it.
To open my laptop I can't physically bear it And I do it But like I'm ashamed Because I'm not motivated to do it
And stuff like gym, all this stuff we're talking about, like tighten up, tighten up, summer edition, summer merch, all this stuff. Bro, sometimes I'm just like, man, fuck the gym. I'm not going. Everyone gets like that, bro. Exactly. Everyone does that. But they turn to me to be the guy because I don't do that. Yeah. And sometimes I do do it. But I'm too ashamed to tell them that, bro, yesterday I didn't go. Yeah. I'm a human being as well. I'm a human being. Yesterday I didn't fucking go. Yeah.
And I'm ashamed of it. And today I'm going, but I don't tell them that because I don't want to demotivate them more. Yeah. And when she was saying all that stuff, I was like, fuck, that fucking resonates. Even though it's different, it fucking resonates. Okay. Because she was so embarrassed saying, like, help me, help me, help me. Oh, here's help, here's help, here's help. She's like, thank you, thank you, thank you. Then she wins a couple more tournaments and she's like, mamba mentality. When really...
It's all fake. It's all fake because behind closed doors, she's just as insecure as she was in the first place. And then she was so embarrassed to turn to him because this was the point where she knew that he knew you ain't mamba shit. Like,
But obviously he wouldn't have said that. He would have still been there for her. Yeah, of course. He would have ridden in her corner for sure. Yeah. And he could have possibly shared moments like what you think is my mentality all the time. I'm full of shit. A lot of times I cry myself to sleep, bro. A lot of times I thought I wasn't good enough. A lot of times, like I told everyone I trained until six in the morning. Did I fuck?
I mean, I slept until six and I woke up and started trading. Do you know what I mean? Like everyone's human. And then she, that's it. The person that she turned to for that is gone now. Yeah. Gone, gone, done. And I was like, fuck, that's deep. Fuck, that's deep. She must've been hurting. Yeah, man. I think so many people were hurting, bro. Bro, hurting. The whole world was hurting. The whole world. Fam, it was what, January, February times? It's over a year, year and a half now. That's flown by.
Because the thing is, I remember exactly where I was when I found out. Me too. I was in the office at work and one of my colleagues came in. His name is Jordan. And he was like, oh, have you heard? He said it so casually. He's like, oh, have you heard? Oh, Kobe Bryant's dead. I was like, what? He's like, yeah, he died in a helicopter crash. I was like, what? I sat up. I was like, what? Because it's such a random way to die as well. Not even that. It was just... I'm not like...
I watch and somewhat follow basketball, but I've never been a hardcore baller fan, you know? But when it's someone like Kubrick, even if you don't watch football, if David Beckham died, it's got to mean something to you. Do you know what I mean? So it's like, how can you just come in and say that nonchalantly? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, that's the reason why I remember exactly where I was and how he was said and like, bro, do you realise what you're saying to me? Yes!
Yeah. Do you know, bro? I was in the office just chilling. I think I was on my lunch break, bro. Bro, it was... Kobe Bryant's death is the first time where I actually understood how the generation above... Why the generation above us acts when they hear, like, George Michael died. And they're like, what are you on about?
That makes perfect sense. And I'm thinking, I don't give a fuck about George Michael. Granted, I know who you're talking about. Even when Michael Jackson died, I wasn't like, what? I was like, oh, I swear, that's dread. But the whole world was like, are you crazy? What do you mean Michael Jackson died? Fam, when Kobe died, I was like, what the fuck are you saying to me? I could have cried. And I don't know why I felt that way. But then I started thinking back.
And I remember there's a specific memory that stuck out to me. I used to love Kobe Bryant, bro. I was obsessed with Kobe Bryant when I was a kid. You told me before, especially in uni if you told me. Bro, I was obsessed with Kobe Bryant. And I remember for one of my birthdays one year, my mum said, oh, what do you want for, no, Christmas. It was Christmas. What do you want for Christmas? And in JD Sport, it used to be called JD Sport. Before it was just JD. In JD Sport, my guy, they were running these NBA jeans, bro.
Jeans. This is how much I love Kobe. Like I was so obsessed with basketball. I used to dress like an American.
When all my boys were out here playing football and they're wearing their fucking Vapors and their total 90s and just fucking shorts or trackies tucked into their socks and all them things. I was out here wearing Jordans, baggy jeans, like fucking NBA jerseys. Like I would dress like an American. I didn't give a fuck what any of my friends said. I was obsessed with basketball. I was obsessed with Kobe Bryant. Obsessed. Yeah.
And they had these NBA jeans. So it was just like blue jeans or black jeans or whatever. And it would have a jersey patch. So the number on the jean, like sewed into the jean. And they had Kobe Bryant ones. And it was eight, Lakers, LA Lakers number eight on there.
and i saw them one day it was like in november and i was like oh my fucking god and obviously i've told you my mom never used to buy me shit yeah so i saw them i was like oh my god i could cry i need those jeans bro before that there wasn't anything clothing wise or anything that i needed and i was like mom i have to have those jeans bro i fucking have to obviously my mom brush i was like you know i'm not buying them they were like 50 quid back then that was 300 quid yeah yeah yeah i was
I was like mum please I have to I need those mum Like I was close to tears Like mum please I need the Kobe Bryant jeans
And she was like, no, no, I'm not buying that. I'm not buying that. And I was like, fuck. And then obviously a month later, she's like, what do you want for Christmas? And I said, mum, please, I don't care anything. I don't care about what else you get me. Please, in JD, those blue Kobe Bryant jeans. I have to have them. She was like, bet. I was so excited, bro. So excited. Christmas day comes. My mum passes me the present. I can feel his clothing.
I could have squealed. If I tore it open. Yeah. Tore it open. Yeah. Things went everywhere. Yeah. I look inside. Allen Iverson, black, 76ers jeans. I swear to God, if I had a match in my hand, I would have dropped it on those jeans. And I would have dropped it on my mom.
Do you know the fucking thing? Parents don't listen sometimes. Parents just don't listen. They think that when a child wants something specific, a substitute is okay. As long as it's like it. Are you crazy? Bro. Parents are crazy. Alan Iverson. 76ers jeans. Number three. Yeah, yeah. Same thing. Same thing. Yeah. Box that. Box that. Box that. My son will appreciate that anyway. Bro. I said I could have set a match to it and my mum too.
Bro, I was so upset. Oh, I can imagine, brother. Worst Christmas ever. I can imagine. And I was like... And I knew there was no way I could say to my mum, because if I would have said to my mum, mum, what the fuck? I asked for the leg, because she would have smacked me across my face. Before you finished the sentence. Bro, on Christmas Day? Before you finished the sentence. If I'm picking up chest on Christmas Day, I would have had nothing. You have to be grateful. You wouldn't have had dinner that day. Bro, you have to be grateful. You can't run up here talking about what's this. So I had to be like, oh...
And I think she said, oh, they didn't have the ones you wanted. So I got these. I think that's what she said. But I was just like, I don't want to hear it. In my head, I was like, I'm going to kill myself. Did you ever wear them? Oh yeah, I wore them out. I wore them, wore them, wore them. I had to. But I remember being so upset. I literally felt like I betrayed Kobe Bryant. Sorry, Broski. I literally felt like I betrayed him. I was obsessed with Kobe Bryant. I was obsessed with Kobe Bryant. Can I ask you a question? Go. This is basketball related, obviously.
First question before I go to my follow-up question. Do you mind me baiting out your surname on this? My surname? Yeah.
Of course not. Okay, now I can follow up. Now I can ask the follow-up question. I already feel like I know what you're going to ask me and I already have an answer for you, but go on. Okay, perfect then. So, remember back in the day, I say back in the day, but a few episodes ago, probably 10, 20 episodes ago, you were talking about Midnight Madness and how you almost met, or you had the potential to meet LeBron James. LeBron James, yeah. How your goal was to be in the NBA. Did it ever cross your mind that people would think that you may be related to Tim? Um...
Yes So much so That when I was a kid When I said I already have an answer for you And you said surname I used to tell everyone Tim Duncan was my uncle I used to lie to everyone And say Tim Duncan's my uncle Because in England Yeah If you're not a basketball fan You ain't got a fucking clue Who Tim Duncan is Yeah yeah yeah You ain't got a clue Who Tim Duncan is He's played for San Antonio Spurs right? Yeah Spurs San Antonio Spurs yeah yeah
So in school, I knew for a fact, no one knew who Tim Duncan was. So when people used to talk about basketball this, basketball that, I'd say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, bro. And they'd be like, oh, why are you so into basketball? Why do you love basketball so much? And I was like, bro, I'm going to the NBA like my uncle. I used to finesse the whole thing. Bro, I'm going to the NBA just like my uncle. And they'd be like, uncle who? Uncle Tim. And I was like, my uncle Tim, bro. What are you talking about? And he's light-skinned as well. Yeah.
So no one, this is when I was like year eight. No one was smart enough to think, but your dad's dark skinned. And that's supposed to be his brother. I don't think so. But I'm like, all I thought is, I'm light skinned, Tim Duncan's light skinned. It patterns. And the face shape, everything you can, if you needed to believe it, you can believe it. Bro, I used to tell everyone,
yeah Tim Duncan's my uncle that's hilarious Tim Duncan's my uncle and they were like nah it's not I was like big man google him Tim Duncan's my uncle I said you take one look at him and you'll believe me and they were like nah they're typing Tim Duncan they'll be like oh shit is that your uncle I was like bro it's my uncle for years for years bro I thought about I think I thought about that question after we spoke about that midnight madness thing but it never came to mind again yeah bro for years I used to say that
So as soon as you said, do you mind people knowing your surname? I was like, I already know what you're going to say. And I've already got the answer. For years I've told that lie.
That is hilarious. And the thing is, I didn't even check for Tim Duncan like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't even check for him. He was just a name. He was a known name. He was a baller, but he's a centre. I can't relate to him. Yeah, yeah. I don't know about height. He was tall, bro. Tall, tall. Anyway, sorry. The Naomi Asaka thing. Yes. I completely forgot what we're talking about. Same. So Naomi, so that was the first bit that cut me. Yes. The Kobe bit. The second part. Yeah. She...
Second part was, oh, that was it, about the Olympics. So her whole career, she said, I want to be the first Asian woman to win a Grand Slam. Okay. So whenever she comes out, obviously they say where you're from. Yeah. Even though she is American, technically, she represents Japan. She always has. Okay. Always. Just like Djokovic, Slovenia, whatever. Slovenia, Slovakia, I can't remember. I think, is it Slovakia?
Jockfish, I can't remember. But anyway, whoever comes out, it says where you're from. No matter what grandstand. Hers never says USA. It always says Japan. It always has. So push comes to shove. Now, obviously, she's like top ranked in the world at this point. And then Olympics come around and everyone was asking her, who are you going to rep? USA or Japan? Japan.
And peak how Haitia doesn't even get a Haiti. Haiti doesn't get a look in, bro. They would die to have her. Oh, imagine she represented Haiti. Wow. Anyway, continue. So Japan or USA, which was going to be. And at the time she was doing a lot of of the BLM protests. Okay. She's during BLM times. Okay. And she was repping a lot and she even dropped out of a tournament one time.
She just made it to the semi... She had a semifinals match. Okay. In a grand... I think it was a Grand Slam tournament. No, it wasn't a Grand Slam tournament. It was a big tournament. It wasn't a Grand Slam. It wasn't a Grand Slam. Okay. And she said, I'm not playing. Just to draw attention. And she had all these masks with like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, all them. And then when it came out that...
And then they said, oh, Olympics, what's it going to be? She said, oh, I'm going to represent Japan. Fam, she said her own words. She said her black card got stripped. As soon as she said she's not doing the OSA, she's doing Japan. Done. Bro, she got so much hate from US people, even though she's been repping Japan her whole career. And I was thinking, yeah,
supporters of athletics in all forms and sports are so entitled. It makes me sick. They actually think athletes are property. Same way with the Euros. I was just about to compare it to the Euros. Exactly. That's why I brought the whole thing up. Exactly the same as the Euros. They think people are their property. And when their property is not doing as it's told...
Done with you. You're useless to me. Done with you. Bro, she said she got, soon as she said she's repping Japan, they were like, get fucked. Like, you're not even black. Go. Go away. Like, we have no interest in you. Hey, that big man, I've been repping Japan from day. No one had an issue.
Until you're looking for who's the best person to represent you in the Olympics, and I'm number one, now you're vexed. If I was ranked 115th, you wouldn't give a single fuck. Single flying fuck. You wouldn't give a single fuck who I'm representing. It's a crazy world we live in, man. It's a crazy... Everyone wants to be the best, but everyone also wants to represent the person that is the best. Of course. It's a crazy world we live in, man. When you're winning, you're God, right?
And you're only a god if you're doing justice for the team that you're supposed to be doing justice for. There's this thing, do you know who Ozil is? Mesut Ozil. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a footballer that used to play for Real Madrid and then Arsenal. He plays for, I think, somewhere in Turkey now. Correct me if I'm wrong. But he was a German international. He doesn't play for Germany anymore. But when he was playing and winning for Germany, he used to say, oh, when I win for Germany, or when I win, I'm German. When I'm not, I'm exiled. Or something like that.
And it's like, and that's the reason why he denounced playing for Germany. It's like, that's understandable, bro. That's fucking understandable, man. The same thing, obviously with the Euros, like you said, with Rasmus, Sancho and Saka. Like it's, it's a tough thing to have to know that if I score, I'm a hero. If I miss, I'm a villain. I'm a fucking villain because of the color of my skin. It's mad. Yeah.
It's mad, bro. And the thing is, the joke of it is, is that it's got nothing to do with the colour of their skin. Regardless of their black or dark, the thing is, people focus on the racing, which obviously is the main focus. For ignorant cunts, that's just the easiest thing to say. Yeah, it's the easiest thing to pick on. Because if it was Kane that missed, if everyone else scored and Harry Kane missed...
He would be getting exactly the same amount of hate. Obviously, they wouldn't be calling him white this or white that, but they would find something to make him feel like the scum of the fucking earth if he was the sole reason why we lost. But obviously, if you're black, it's easy. It's easier. It's easier, bro. You're a monkey. It's easy. But obviously, I'm not trying to diminish the fact that they were racially abused. I'm not trying to say that. I'm just saying, athletes as a whole, as an entire unity...
Athletes as a whole get treated like shit when they're not winning. They get treated like absolute shit. Even when they are winning. Same thing with Anthony Joshua. He came out long ago and said, big man, these times I'm trying to rep Nigeria because these dons in the UK, they do not check for me, bro. I've done nothing wrong. And all I get is hate. Hate, bro. All I get is hate. Like, I might as well just say I'm Nigerian from now on and say, fuck Britain.
Britain especially, bro. We're the worst for it. Yeah. We are the fucking worst for it, bro. Agreed. Agreed. We are the worst. Agreed.
The same man that were racially abusing, like back in the day, probably like two, three years ago, racially abusing Sterling are the same man that cheered for him because he scored the first three goals in the tournament. Yeah. For England. They were the same man that were cheering him. Yeah, yeah. Same with the papers, like the Sun or Daily Mail. It's just... Bro, he's not human. He's property. He's property, man. He's English property, bro. Same thing with Andy Murray. He's Scottish. When he's losing, he's Scottish. He's Scottish. When he's British. Disgusting, bro. It's crazy, bro. Crazy. Crazy.
This is a game, you know. It's actually a game. Literally, it is a game. It's a game. And the game ain't for us. We are privileged to watch it. They're the one playing it. It's their game. It's these 11 man versus these 11 man. It's their team. We have nothing to do with it. But we're so entitled. That's the word. We're so entitled. We own this game and we own you, man. And we need bragging rights against countries that we're never going to visit. We need bragging rights against...
It's coming home. Home. We ain't seen the ting. We ain't seen the ting since the 60s. Home. Bro. Live it. It's a crazy world we live in, man. It is a crazy world and I hate it. It is. And I think you've said this before on here, but I obviously can't remember which episode. The only way we can tackle this kind of problem in terms of like this racial status quo is if or is once everyone mixes with everyone.
like there's interracial couples and relationships everywhere everyone's brown everyone's that's the only way everyone's brown everyone's brown yeah everyone's brown that's the only way shit can pattern yeah it's true bro because the diversity that we're living in at the moment i think it's i don't think it's at its peak but it's bubbling it's there you know it's there so i feel like once everyone just starts integrating with everyone and obviously when i say interracial i don't just mean black versus white or black and white because that's
I think that's the most common interracial kind of thing you think of. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Interracial can mean fucking Japanese and Chinese. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but in that context, I feel like that's the only way people can actually just be like, okay, cool. He's one of us. Yeah. And then regardless, win or lose, he's still one of us, you know? Thing is as well though, like the dread thing is about it is that, well, I think what a lot of people miss sometimes is that you are right.
In that once everyone's brown, there'll be no more racism. There'll always be tribalism. And racism is just an extended version of tribalism. People... So it's our human nature to have cliques. We need to feel like... It's in our DNA that we need to feel like we belong to somewhere. Yes, agreed. And this is our clique and other people are an issue. Agreed. I know what you mean, brother. Other countries are an issue. Other races are an issue. Like...
There's the workers and the bosses. There's this and there's that. Yeah. There's left and there's right. Yeah. And we need literally tribalism. Like that's basically what the Olympics is. It's these tribes, all the tribes come together and go against each other. And you support your tribe and fuck everyone else. Fuck everyone else. And...
You'll only support the tribes that belong to you. So I even found myself doing it when I was watching the opening ceremony. I was watching all these countries come out. Bro, bro.
Great Britain, let's go. Trinidad, let's go. Grenada, let's go. Oh, you man, come. Ireland, let's go. All these men are cool. The rest of these men can fucking do one. Like, they need to get smacked up. And even to the point where you're watching something and the cell's watching the skateboarding the other day. You've got USA, France, Italy. USA, France, Italy, and Peru. USA, France, Italy, Peru, France.
And Brazil. They were in the finals. The closest tribe out of all of them to me is USA. I mean, Team USA. I'm Team USA. You need to feel among. You need to feel among. You need to belong to somewhere. In something. In everything. So even if the... I feel like even... Rick and Morty did it best when they had the race wars in...
From the spiral nipples to the cone nipples. Do you remember? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. When they, when, um, when Rick was doing a thing with the planet, with the planet. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. I remember that. Yes. I remember that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It will always come down to that. And some are more, he had normal nipples than nipple amongst it. Yeah. Yeah. And they were having proper race wars versus the type of nipple that they had. Yeah. Bro, you go to India, you've got dark skin versus light skin. They were fucking Indian. Yeah.
No one gives a shit. When they come over to England, I don't see who's light-skinned and who's dark-skinned. You're either Indian or you're not. Like, it doesn't matter to me. But if you go over there, they find their way to separate castes. They find their way to do these things. It's always going to happen. Even when the whole world's brown, people are always going to be tribalists. And they're going to find a way to find a clique and fuck everything else. So racism may diminish, but they'll find something else, which is just human nature. But...
Obviously, I'm not excusing racism, but I'm just saying I don't think separation will ever stop. I hear you, bro. I don't think it will ever stop. I hear you, man. I think people always find a way to fuck off someone else. It's an excuse at the end of the day. It is, man. You have the middle class, the working class, the upper class. You've got everything. All these things. When you break it down, all of these things are just tribes. All of them are tribes.
oh i connect with this person because we have similar interests we grew up in similar environments and stuff like that tribes like you don't feel comfortable in someone else's tribe that's basically what it boils down to because when you think about it like say if you're looking for a partner you know oh we have similar similar values and all this stuff and like like your parents like oh my mom will be so happy if i got with a nigerian but if i don't get with a nigerian she'll be content if i got with someone who's from ghana yeah do you know what i mean tribes yeah
I can't bring another white girl. That's a different tribe, fam. That can't run. Everything, it always boils down to something. And people don't examine it on a day-to-day basis. You wouldn't. But it will always come down to something. Always. Speaking of what you just said about my parents and stuff, well, not specifically my parents, but I know what you meant. That's one of the main reasons why
I'm happy the way I am in terms of obviously spoken about in the previous episode about like religion and stuff about how my parents were like cultivating that that's all they knew and obviously my whole family is my whole immediate family is Muslim etc and their parents were Muslim or both so on and so forth I'm happy that I've kind of broken the cycle yeah even though it's hard for me yeah because people don't people don't necessarily know that I think about
I obviously want my parents to be happy and I also want my parents to be proud of me. Yeah. But I also want to live my own life and my own truth. Yeah. But it's also hard to, it's hard to do both. Yeah. Because they brought me into this world and I know they always want the best for me and they always try and advise me for them to, they always advise me so they can be sure that I'm doing the best for myself. But if I do something that's not,
within their realm of comprehension they think it's a negative thing yeah of course but it's also hard to just try and tell them like big man you've lived your life this is me you know this is me i'm not one trying if i get married to someone that's not nigerian or not ghanian or not black even
It's my marriage, big man. Do you want me to be happy or do you want you to be happy? Yeah. You know? Exactly. And what is even you being happy? What does that even mean? What does it equate to? What does your happiness in this situation mean? Because once the wedding's over, you don't give a fuck anymore. You literally don't give a fuck anymore. It's all show and tell. It's all show and tell. You just want to tell your brethren. Once your brethren have been told, you forget everything.
You will have forgotten. I guarantee you my parents don't remember my sister's wedding. In terms of like who was there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. They were just there for... Obviously they weren't there for the facade of it. But yes, it was just one of them ones where they were proud. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But once it's... I remember it obviously. But once it's done, it's done. Bro. And it's just like... It's a tough world we live in, man. It's a tough world we live in. But it also... It just shows how...
older generations have passed things down onto younger generations and the younger generations that adapt that and continue to think of that old mentality will force that onto their kids. Whereas people like me, for example, that have broken out of that cycle, I'm happy I've broken out of that cycle, but it's also hard to live my truth knowing how much I still want to, not necessarily impress, but make my parents proud. Exactly. And you want to make your parents proud. And on top of that, you also have situations in which
When you say like it's trickled down. So obviously this is trickled down from your parents. So you decide, I want to be an... I don't want to be an outlier, but it's just who I am. So you step out to the side. But then...
So if we step back to the tribalism thing again, you've got all these Nigerians. Yeah. All of them moved to UK. So we've got the Nigerian tribe and they all have kids. Yeah. All of these kids are British. Yeah. And then you've got... That's one thing they forget. That's one thing they fucking forget. They do. I didn't ask them, born here, big man. You know? Yeah, yeah. They forget that I'm born in this multicultural
What's the word Multicultural Multicultural melting pot They forget that Yeah yeah yeah But sorry continue No it's true bro They do forget So they have all of these They take all their Nigerian values And it's not just Nigeria It's Caribbean It's Irish It's everything But use that as an example Use example They come from Nigeria Yeah They bring all their Nigerian values To England Yeah They have a Nigerian society They have a Muslim society A Catholic society Christian society Whatever And they have kids
And they instill with those kids all of their values. Those kids are British and they grow up British, but they have Nigerian values. People like you step out to the side and you guys are the outliers. But you relate so much to being a second generation...
Nigerian that you make friends with all the other second generation Nigerians of course because you feel among you feel like you're home of course this is your tribe this is your fucking tribe yeah yeah all of them man you man can boss joke about oh mom where can I put my shoes put them on my head all of this shit that you and Jacob fucking didn't even know each other yeah all your lives and you you say sentence for sentence the same shit same shit so you have all of this
But then what makes it worse is that you, when you come out of it and you do a ting with a white girl or an Asian girl or whatever, you get pressure from your parents. So that's outside of the tribe and that's negative. You need to hope that this group of second generation Nigerians are also outliers, which sometimes they're not. Of course not. Sometimes they're not. And then you get stick out.
Probably not from the guys, but definitely from the girls. 100%. You only like white girls because they have Nigerian values and they're all about this tribe thing as well. So you're an outlier. So you're getting negative from here and negative from here, which just ruins everything. Yeah. And it's just unnecessary pressure. Yeah. For whatever reasons. And then you've got a couple of your boys that are like, whatever. Yeah. Like they're like you. Yeah. And obviously I've met some of your boys and stuff like that. They are literally exactly like you. Yeah. And it's just like,
Why should I have so much pressure just to live my life? Yeah. It's my life. I shouldn't ever have to take into consideration someone's skin colour, racial beliefs or upbringing into the kind of person that I want to spend time with. Yeah. Or spend my life with. Yeah. Or think about, I can do a thing with this girl. I can even live with this girl. But it's long if I want to marry you. Yeah. It's just long to the point where you might even be put off marrying them because you're like, I just don't want to deal with the hassle. So what is that? What literally is that?
It's long. Literal definition, bro. It's truly long. And a lot of the time, the only way you can get out of it is to double down on being an outlier and said, fuck off. Like I'm going to do what I want. You have a kid with a white girl. You then have black kids with,
Who have such a disconnect from their Nigerian heritage because their Nigerian heritage is so stuck in their old ways that you don't even want to expose them to that. Yeah. So all they know is the other side. And all they know is the other side. And then you're disappointed that your kids know fuck all about the heritage. Yeah. It's a backwards cycle, mum. It's long, fam. It's long, bro. It's actually long.
Wow. That took a turn. It did take a turn. Sorry. No, no, don't be sorry. Cause reality purely because it's not, this is not the first time I've thought about things like this. You know, I think about this not more often than not, but it pops into my mind, you know? Yeah. Because I think, I don't know if I've said it on here, but I probably definitely said it to you that I'm probably not going to marry a Nigerian. Oh yeah, of course. You said it. Yeah. So it's like, what's next? You know, where do I go from here? You know, it's hard because everything you've just said is my reality.
It's my reality, brother. And it's tough.
It's tough, bro. Especially, especially, as I said in previous episode, I've got an example like my sister. Because that's what my parents doubled down on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's the golden child. She's the golden child. She's a Muslim, married a Muslim, married a Nigerian Muslim. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they've got a kid together. They've done everything the way they would have wanted to do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I.e. my parents. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So in their eyes, I'm just an outsider. Even though they know I'm not. Yeah. But if we're speaking figuratively, your boy's an outsider. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it hurts, bro. It's tough. You're breaking my heart. It's tough, my G. All jokes aside, you're literally breaking my heart. It's tough, my G. I think about this more often than not. It's hard. Life is hard, bro. Life is hard when ancestors and ancient beliefs and ancient religions and things like that get passed on and you as a man don't accept it or you as a woman don't accept that and you try to live your own truth in your own life. It's just tough, bro. Yeah, because you come against resistance. Yeah.
You come against resistance. And like you said, like, especially like you as a person, you don't like disappointing people. I try not to. Yeah. You intentionally try not to disappoint people. So then you get yourself stressed about the life choices you're making.
Which will then trickle down into your relationships. Because similar to what you've had in a relationship in the past, that obviously we won't go into details for, but both of you came from that environment separately and you both came to it like, where is this even going to go? We can't get married. Where is this actually going to go? Because these sides aren't going to marry up. So we might as well lock it now. That should never be the case. It should never, ever, ever be the case about this is the world we live in, mind you. And it's tough because...
Yes, this is the world we live in, but it makes it seem as if my parents are making my choices for me. Oh, yeah. Big man, I'm 30 years old. Bro, I hear you, bro. I'm a full-fledged adult. Bro, I'm with you. But it does trickle down, bro. It even trickles down further than... Not even further than that.
But you have examples like myself. This is nowhere near... I'm not even trying to compare it to you. But like subconscious choices that I make in my life. Like I knew when I was in year seven. Year seven that I didn't want to have a baby with a white girl. Okay. Because I didn't want my kids to be white. Okay. I didn't even think about stuff like that back then. Bro. Oh, wow. That's what I used to think about. Oh, wow. Because I...
I thought about it in terms of just like I said, obviously you wouldn't think about stuff like that. But because I know I'm one kid away from there being no black anymore. Okay. And I'm, yeah. So like I knew from when I was younger, like I enjoy being mixed race. So it's not like I wanted to take the brown and turn it back into black, but I just wanted to be there more of me. And when I was younger, I,
I was just like, I don't think I can have a baby with a white girl because then I'm going to have like a white baby. And if that baby has a baby with a white girl or white guy, that's it. That's it. Duncan's aren't black anymore. Literally, Duncan's won't be black anymore. No offense to my brother. I know he's having a baby with a white girl. I know for a fact he is. If he ever has a baby. I don't think my brother even wants kids. But like I knew out of all my family, if anyone's,
keeping that alive keeping the black in there it's gonna be me yeah yeah yeah so i've known since i was a kid yeah that like there's pressure on me yeah for this family to stay black yeah because it's it's a it's a hop a skip and a jump away from not being black anymore yeah now that's it we got deep man bro we got deep quick yeah yeah actually got deep quick yeah mom out of nowhere i don't even think we can do a muddy asshole i don't think not under these circumstances
No, under these circumstances, G, I don't think we can. Oh, Jesus. I think we might have to just wrap it up there. Yeah, man. Let's rapidly wrap, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. We love you guys. We do, man. Thank you. If you managed to make it this far, thank you very much. Thank you. We'll see you in a couple of days. We'll see you in a couple of days. Love. Bless.
