1:23

finals . Denver

1:26

Nuggets are cooking the

1:28

Miami Heat team , and

1:30

deservedly so . We got

1:33

. We got President

1:39

Trump former President Donald

1:41

Trump , being indicted on seven

1:43

charges . This is all

1:46

due to the

1:48

issues with the papers

1:50

that he took , with the documents he took

1:52

with him to Mar-Tamara Lago

1:54

, his estate down in Florida , when

1:56

they told him to give him up . He

1:59

had a lot of ideas for them . And also

2:01

we got some popular

2:03

culture topics going

2:05

on . We got Lionel Messi

2:08

finding his way over to America

2:10

and possibly bringing some special

2:12

guest stars with them . That's all in

2:14

the works and they , they're talking about

2:16

it . It made big news

2:19

and made the headlines all throughout

2:21

the week . And also

2:23

we got Cardi

2:25

B feeling like

2:28

. Feeling like

2:30

what's next in life ? and

2:32

then what's next ? that's what her mind , that's

2:34

where her mind is at . So let's jump right

2:36

into some of . Let's jump right into the first topic

2:39

at hand . First topic at hand

2:41

we got the Denver

2:43

Nuggets going against the Miami

2:45

Heat and the NBA in the 2022-2023

2:49

NBA championship finals . Right

2:52

now , denver is up 3-1

2:54

in the series . They've

2:56

beaten the Miami Heat pretty bad

2:58

here . Well , it

3:01

seems that well . They're . They're

3:03

obviously the better team because they

3:06

didn't . They're in the one seed and

3:08

they came in and have been playing like

3:10

the one seed all along and

3:12

you know , it seems like

3:14

Miami has to play out of it . Out

3:17

of Miami , miami's team

3:19

has to play out of its mind every single

3:21

game in order for them to just compete

3:24

, whereas the Denver

3:26

Nuggets Jamal Murray

3:28

and the Joker they

3:30

seem to just be able to handle

3:33

everything that Miami is throwing at them . And

3:35

then some , miami doesn't make their

3:37

threes , it seems . It

3:40

seems like if they don't make their threes , the

3:42

game becomes a struggle for them , whereas

3:45

Denver can win . In

3:47

this series . It seems Denver can win , and

3:49

by any which way necessary , and

3:51

they've done that for three straight

3:53

games . They lost game two , but they've

3:56

won two narrow now . After

3:58

losing game two , they won game

4:01

game three and game four

4:03

. So if they win the next one

4:05

, if the Denver Nuggets win the next one , that

4:08

would be series done , that

4:10

would be game match set , that

4:12

would send Miami back home . They've

4:15

had an amazing and historical

4:17

run , all on the back of Jimmy Butler

4:20

, but it seems like if they

4:22

don't win the next game , it could

4:24

have been all for nothing . They beat

4:26

the top seed in the East , they

4:28

beat the previous

4:31

year's Well , the

4:33

previous year's champion , the Milwaukee blocks

4:35

. They beat them and They

4:38

beat who else they beat ? they

4:40

beat the 76ers , joellen and

4:42

bead the MVP , the

4:45

MVP of the league . They beat them . So

4:47

, sheesh , things are not . Things

4:49

are not looking good things . Things are not

4:51

. Things are not looking good for the Miami heat after

4:54

having such a NCAA like

4:56

Cinderella run to the finals

4:58

and And it seems

5:00

like Miami . Could you actually

5:02

me , denver , could you stake this and shut

5:05

it down in their faces And as

5:07

it should ? we all deserve to

5:09

have a game won by the

5:11

number one seed . We all deserve

5:14

to have a champion That's worthy of being a champion

5:16

, not just a Cinderella story , and

5:19

Miami seems to be that

5:21

exactly . So Cinderella story . So

5:23

Denver is doing . Denver is doing

5:25

what they're supposed to be doing and they're doing it well . Kudos

5:29

to them . But onto the next

5:31

topic at hand . Here We got

5:33

an international football star

5:36

, lionel Messi , making

5:38

its way to enter Miami , coming

5:40

to America to come play for The

5:44

football team a case soccer team

5:46

in inter Miami , in Miami

5:49

. There they play in Fort Lauderdale

5:51

and And messy

5:54

, they may look to bring Louis

5:56

Louis swirers with him

5:58

, or Agniel his

6:00

side cake in his side cake

6:02

in the World Cup against France

6:05

, and Yelda Maria Me

6:07

also make a guest appearance and

6:10

come play alongside and build around

6:12

a come play alongside messy in the

6:14

United States . I Was

6:16

looking to see how many years The

6:19

contract would be , but it I mean

6:21

it doesn't say there's no

6:24

Compact date

6:26

, no concrete date set

6:28

to let us know exactly How

6:30

long this contract is

6:33

, how many years he could play in America

6:35

for . But the amount of money

6:37

he set to receive is gonna be plenty

6:40

and the amount of opportunities He set to

6:42

get and this deal is gonna be plenty . He

6:45

left a deal from Saudi

6:47

Arabia to come play for into

6:49

Miami . The deal was

6:51

set to be for one billion dollars

6:54

to play for The

6:57

Saudi team , but he turned that down to come play for

6:59

into Miami . Into Miami is gonna

7:01

be offering well , not just

7:03

into Miami . Every single team and And

7:06

my less is gonna be offering basically

7:08

to pay messy salary . I Not

7:10

just that , apple is going

7:13

to do profit sharing , adidas

7:15

is going to do profit sharing with

7:17

Messi . All the jerseys are any

7:20

new items that they sell Since

7:22

he gets on the contract with

7:24

the team . Adidas

7:28

is going to help foot the bill and

7:31

Apple is going to help foot the bill as well . So whenever

7:34

they have a new subscription for

7:36

MLS . I

7:38

forgot what they call it for the

7:40

package deal . It's like getting

7:43

the NFL package deal . Messi

7:46

gets a cut of that and whenever they

7:48

sell new merchandising through Adidas

7:50

, messi also gets a cut of that . So

7:52

Messi is going to be sitting real pretty with

7:55

this contract and hopefully

7:57

he plays up to snuff and

8:00

all the players that they bring that

8:02

could possibly come and join Messi in

8:04

America to build around into Miami

8:07

. Hopefully they play up to snuff . And

8:09

the Messi effect is not just in

8:11

the contract , it's also in ticket

8:13

sales . So

8:16

basically , with ticket

8:18

sales , the tickets that people

8:20

booked are like $40 , $50

8:23

. All of a sudden , the cheapest ticket

8:25

is around $400

8:28

and some odd dollars and the most

8:30

expensive ticket could drive you all the way up to like

8:32

$3,000 just

8:35

to go watch Messi play . Messi won't

8:37

come until probably like late August

8:39

, but once he steps foot

8:42

in America and starts to play

8:44

he's going to play against the New York Red

8:46

Bulls , he's going to have some home games and

8:48

those tickets the resale

8:51

market is going to be crazy . The population

8:53

to see Messi play is going to be crazy

8:55

. So it is a

8:58

pretty ginormous signing and also

9:00

, to add , on top of that , there's going to

9:02

be . There's something , there's

9:04

a clause in this contract that's going to give him some

9:07

ownership stake or possibility

9:09

to for him to possibly

9:12

have his own team and

9:14

MLS in the near in the future , once

9:16

he retires , once he stops playing . It's

9:18

the same deal that they gave David Beckham

9:21

. Basically well , not on this

9:23

stratosphere , but they gave David Beckham

9:25

an opportunity to become an owner

9:28

or part owner of a team once he

9:30

retires , and I'm sure they used him

9:32

as a spokesperson to talk to , to deliver

9:34

the message to Messi that

9:36

hey , this is a going league

9:39

we're starting to set up , set ourselves

9:41

up just nice . And I mean , what's

9:44

a better place to play than America ? You come

9:46

play here , you have all the freedom in the world

9:48

that you can possibly imagine and

9:50

, on top of that , you get

9:53

the opportunity to become part

9:55

of ownership in a major league soccer team

9:58

, a major league football team , and the league

10:00

is growing , the play is getting better

10:02

, the players are getting better and

10:04

you are going to be one of the four front

10:06

. You're going to be one of the leaders , the four

10:09

, the , the , the four runners , the

10:11

front runners to get

10:14

this league in the direction that we all think it

10:16

should be in . So that's just absolutely

10:18

wonderful . It's a great

10:20

situation for Messi to be in . And

10:22

now we'll switch on to the next topic

10:25

at hand . Here We got former

10:27

president . Former president Donald

10:29

Trump got indicted this

10:31

week , and he

10:33

got indicted for documents

10:36

that were taken from the White House that he

10:38

thought he declassified , or that he

10:40

thought he had the right to declassify , and

10:43

he still had in his possession . The government

10:45

told him to return them . He

10:47

said . I mean , he played delayed tactics

10:49

, didn't return them , he pretended not to understand

10:51

what they were saying . And finally they searched

10:53

. They served more the search warrant

10:55

and he's running around here talking about to

10:58

witch hunt , to witch hunt , to witch hunt , to

11:01

witch hunt . He's finally been indicted . This is a second

11:03

indictment this year and

11:05

they're going to have to set a date for all these

11:07

trials . Well , the trial

11:10

, the indictment in New York for 34

11:12

counts , for 34

11:14

counts of wrongdoings

11:18

, that trial is set to begin

11:20

just before

11:22

the election . The election , the

11:24

transition of power is set to take place . And

11:26

then you got one

11:29

more that I know of There's a Georgia

11:31

trial . There's a Georgia indictment

11:33

. That's , they said , is to come as well

11:35

. So Trump might have

11:37

all in all three indictments , but , as

11:40

the law says in America

11:42

, innocent until proven guilty

11:44

. But there's one thing that bothers me

11:46

, though , about his indictments , naturally

11:49

. Well , it bothers me because here's

11:51

what bothers me right Donald

11:53

Trump is still going to run for president with

11:56

all these indictments hanging over his head . Most

11:58

people will step down . Most

12:01

respectable people will step down from

12:03

, you know , whatever public

12:05

positions that they hold , if

12:08

they've

12:10

been investigated or if they've been indicted

12:12

on a crime , but not him . He's going

12:14

to go at his full tilt . But

12:17

the crazy thing is , if you're a criminal

12:19

, if you've been found , if

12:21

you've been what's it called ? if

12:24

you've gone to jail or you're a felon , you

12:27

cannot be involved in politics

12:29

. I'm not saying Trump's been , and

12:31

I'm not saying Trump's been found guilty

12:33

of any crimes as of yet

12:35

, but the evidence is stacked

12:38

against him unless , by some way , somehow

12:41

somebody gets

12:43

him out of this trouble . If his lawyers

12:45

are going to , if his lawyers are going to be the ones

12:47

representing him , trump might

12:50

, you know , see some time here , unless

12:52

a Republican wins the White House

12:54

and then pardons him . But if a Republican

12:56

president does not win the White House , trump

12:59

doesn't get pardoned . Trump could go to jail , but

13:01

there was never a steadfast rule that

13:04

said that , as a politician

13:06

, if you're under investigation

13:08

, you can't run for office

13:10

. So Trump is going to run for office . Trump

13:12

could potentially win the presidency , and

13:14

will he be able to pardon himself ? That

13:16

becomes real sticky Because , as

13:19

if you're a felon , you can't

13:21

be involved in politics , you can't vote . But

13:23

what if the person that

13:26

holds the highest seat in the land , ie

13:29

Donald Trump ? what if he holds the highest seat

13:31

in the land and also he's been found guilty

13:34

of a couple of crimes that he

13:36

has to go do some jail time for ? Can

13:38

he pardon himself ? The

13:40

precedence has never been seen before

13:43

, but there's a first time for

13:45

anything . So we'll have to wait and see

13:47

how that works out . But this

13:49

is going to be pretty interesting . He's

13:51

been indicted , not found guilty

13:53

of anything , but he's still continuing

13:55

on with his campaign . Most respectable people

13:57

would step back , step down

14:00

and try to deal with their

14:02

personal issues , but not him . He's

14:04

going full tilt , full bore . He's going

14:06

to take this hat on And that

14:09

is just . It's very interesting

14:11

. It's a first . It will

14:13

be a first that we see of something of this sort

14:15

A former president indicted

14:18

for crimes , not

14:20

guilty yet , not found

14:22

guilty yet . No crimes have been . You

14:24

know , no prison sentences has been

14:26

put on him as far

14:28

as we know right now , because

14:31

trials have not been held yet And

14:34

he's still on

14:36

the campaign trail gathering up dollars

14:38

, getting a lot of money to

14:41

fund his campaign . So

14:43

that's y'all displays now . But

14:45

onto the next topic at hand

14:48

. We got celebrities

14:51

that are sick and tired of well , it's

14:53

not I wouldn't say sick and tired

14:55

, but they are having a

14:57

tough time dealing with

14:59

their lives . Now You got Cardi

15:02

B saying she was sitting there looking

15:04

at her life now thinking , man , i miss

15:06

my old life , i miss

15:09

being ratchet , being a hoodrat and

15:11

all that stuff . I mean well , not necessarily

15:13

being a ratchet and hoodrat , having a good

15:15

time with your friends and you

15:17

could just have low key fun and not

15:20

too many people have to know about it . You live in your

15:22

life . You don't know what was coming next

15:24

, you didn't have a lot of money but

15:26

you're still happy with the way things were . And

15:30

Cardi B saying she misses that . I

15:32

understand exactly what she's going through . I'm not

15:35

famous or anything , but I kind

15:37

of understand because in life , once

15:40

you've reached the top , once you've accomplished

15:42

a goal , you're looking for what's next , and

15:45

I'm just thinking that she might be looking

15:47

for what's next . Yes , she miss her

15:49

old life , but she wants another challenge

15:51

in life . Before she was famous , her

15:53

challenge was to be famous and

15:55

she became famous . Things are working

15:58

out as well as they have for her . She's

16:00

married with two kids . She's

16:03

super successful as a musical

16:06

artist . Her husband's also super

16:08

successful . They're both very successful at their

16:10

crafts . So she's

16:13

now sitting there . Yeah

16:15

, it says that . She says she's bored

16:18

with her life now . But she's probably

16:20

thinking what other thing is out there

16:22

that I can conquer , what other challenges

16:24

I can take on to give me a purpose

16:26

? That's what I feel like she's

16:29

hinting at , and every

16:31

now and then we all feel that way . You

16:33

go to a job , you've been doing it for two , three

16:35

years and you

16:37

pretty much know everything that you need to know

16:39

how to do , and you feel

16:42

like you could go in there and just knock

16:44

it out without even thinking about it . So

16:46

you want to be challenged . You as a human

16:48

being , you want to know what next can

16:50

I do to make , to

16:52

entertain myself or to make my life

16:54

exciting ? She's probably

16:57

looking for another challenge . Maybe

16:59

her next challenge could be trying to

17:01

break it into the movie industry

17:03

, making movies , or maybe becoming

17:06

an executive in

17:08

the music industry , or maybe becoming

17:11

an NR

17:13

, being a taste maker of sorts

17:15

in the music industry , or just

17:17

taking on the acting world and trying

17:20

to fine tune her chops . But

17:22

either way , i feel like she's looking

17:24

for a challenge and sooner

17:27

or later she'll find her challenge . Her kids

17:29

are growing up now

17:32

and they're not little babies anymore

17:34

. They don't necessarily need her , so she needs

17:36

to refocus herself doing something

17:38

else And , like I said , maybe

17:40

that'll be her moving on

17:43

to the executive role in the music industry

17:46

or moving on into

17:48

the world of film action

17:50

film , romantic comedies , whatever Just

17:53

to challenge herself and see how

17:56

far she can go and how

17:59

much she can withstand . That's

18:01

how I see it anyways , not necessarily

18:03

just being bored , because we all have

18:05

that moment when we're like what's

18:07

next ? What's next , what do

18:09

we do ? Where do we go ? She

18:12

doesn't feel challenged , but hopefully

18:14

things work out for her . And

18:16

on to something else , on

18:19

to another topic at hand . This is

18:21

on the pop culture side . I

18:24

was watching Facebook Rills and

18:26

a story came up about Bobby Womack

18:29

and Sam Cook Sam Cook

18:31

, pretty popular musician in the R&B

his mentor's daughter and

20:06

he just did

20:08

the same thing he did before and , funnily

20:10

, when Samcook died , bobby

20:13

Wormack made a song I wish he didn't

20:15

trust me so much which

20:17

was a tell telling sign . Some

20:20

of the lyrics were you know , he's

20:23

my best friend , he's the best friend I got . I'll

20:27

give him the shirt off my back . He'll

20:30

give him the shirt off his back , but he just wishes that

20:32

this friend did not trust him so much , because

20:35

whenever this friend's away he's

20:37

busy , getting busy with this friend's life

20:39

. Good thing Samcook wasn't alive

20:42
