153

You know, Gil, I have talents, bro.
154
00:06:51,828 --> 00:06:53,663
You know, I can do stuff
outside of NBA Twitter.
155
00:06:54,873 --> 00:06:56,958
I don't know what it is yet,
but I'ma figure it out.
156
00:06:58,126 --> 00:07:00,420
Alright, until then, meme boy,
can we start this show?
157
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:06,842
[Josiah] I feel like I've done everything
I could do for the community.
158
00:07:06,843 --> 00:07:10,388
I've done my part and helped elevate it
to levels it had never reached before,
159
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:12,890
and it just wasn't fun anymore.
160
00:07:12,891 --> 00:07:14,975
Uh, you know,
when I wake up in the morning
161
00:07:14,976 --> 00:07:16,727
and, and I'm not excited
about doing the things
162
00:07:16,728 --> 00:07:19,396

then that's just the world,
163
00:07:19,397 --> 00:07:21,190

that it's time to move on
164

and do other things.
165
00:07:25,820 --> 00:07:28,239

was about to say next
166
00:07:28,573 --> 00:07:30,116
was going to echo in eternity.
167
00:07:31,576 --> 00:07:32,952
Let me get that mic.
168
00:07:34,037 --> 00:07:36,039
[Jamel] I'd never seen
the man get serious like this.
169
00:07:36,539 --> 00:07:38,707

- Yeah, yo, yo.
170
00:07:38,708 --> 00:07:41,085
Yo, if I can get everybody
to come up closer to the stage real quick.
171

I got a special announcement.
172
00:07:42,170 --> 00:07:43,754
Whatever y'all doing,
stop it for one second,
173
00:07:43,755 --> 00:07:45,048
pull up to the stage real quick.
174
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:49,344
Let's go. Don't be bashful.
I know all y'all in here. We all family.
175
00:07:49,928 --> 00:07:52,054
And one of the reasons I wanted
to do this thing was, obviously,
176
00:07:52,055 --> 00:07:53,972
to bring the whole
NBA Twitter community together,
177
00:07:53,973 --> 00:07:55,224
super, super important to me,
178
00:07:55,225 --> 00:07:57,601
really helped me get
to where I want to be now.
179
00:07:57,602 --> 00:08:00,312
But after doing a lot of thought
and consideration,
180
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:03,524
I'm going to be announcing
my retirement from NBA Twitter.
181
00:08:03,525 --> 00:08:05,985
[people booing]
182
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:17,496
[people shouting]
183
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:20,625
[crowd] [chanting]
Traitor! Traitor!
184
00:08:24,796 --> 00:08:27,256
[Jamel]
And that's where I come in.
185
00:08:27,257 --> 00:08:30,384
I was there trying to get interviews
for a Bonzi Wells doc I was making.
186
00:08:30,385 --> 00:08:33,303
I said Bonzi Wells, NBA legend,
187
00:08:33,304 --> 00:08:35,723
the only guy ever to be named Bonzi?
188
00:08:35,724 --> 00:08:36,932
I can't hear what you're saying.
189
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:39,810
I can't hear you, but it sounds
like you got an attitude.
190
00:08:39,811 --> 00:08:41,729
[Jamel] Do you have
a Bonzi Wells memory?
191
00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:42,980
- Nothing.
- [Jamel] Nothing?
192
00:08:42,981 --> 00:08:45,107
He served as the sports envoy to China,
193
00:08:45,108 --> 00:08:47,443
Office of Sports Diplomacy,
194
00:08:47,444 --> 00:08:48,736
the Office of Sports Diplomacy...
195
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:50,946
[Amin] On the subject
of Josiah, however,
196
00:08:50,947 --> 00:08:53,157
I never thought that he'd ever stop.
197
00:08:53,158 --> 00:08:54,700
He was at the top of the game.
198
00:08:54,701 --> 00:08:56,035
[Jamel]
Everyone had something to say.
199
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:58,370
Why would he quit?
He's dominating.
200
00:08:58,371 --> 00:08:59,622
Yeah, I'm mad.
[bleep] out of here.
201
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,999
This is like Jordan retiring in '93.
202
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,627
[Jamel] It became clear
this was the story I was meant to tell.
203
00:09:05,628 --> 00:09:07,796
This a movie.
My life a movie, dawg.
204
00:09:07,797 --> 00:09:09,423
This fall, I'ma be taking
205
00:09:09,424 --> 00:09:12,384
my NBA Twitter talents into retirement.
206
00:09:12,385 --> 00:09:14,261
It's devastating
for the NBA Twitter world.
207
00:09:14,262 --> 00:09:15,637
[Josiah]
I've always stressed to people
208
00:09:15,638 --> 00:09:17,306
that once I lose
the sense of motivation,
209
00:09:17,307 --> 00:09:18,932
it's time for me
to move on from the game.
210
00:09:18,933 --> 00:09:20,184
[Jamel] Community was down bad.
211
00:09:20,185 --> 00:09:22,061
How the [bleep] do you retire
from Twitter?
212
00:09:22,062 --> 00:09:23,896
[Jamel] Everybody except
for Jalen Rose's hairline.
213
00:09:23,897 --> 00:09:25,189
He not retiring.
214
00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:28,150
He's not done. He is not done.
215
00:09:28,151 --> 00:09:30,820
One final tweet
and then it's over.
216
00:09:31,321 --> 00:09:35,115
I'm super appreciative of NBA Twitter
and all the opportunities that it gave me,
217
00:09:35,116 --> 00:09:37,117
the career it helped me establish,
218
00:09:37,118 --> 00:09:39,286
but it was closing time, right?
219
00:09:39,287 --> 00:09:40,914
It was, it was time to shut it down,
220
00:09:41,414 --> 00:09:42,749
time to move on to something else
221
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:46,586
and really just-just figure out
my life from-from that point forward.
222
00:09:47,128 --> 00:09:49,338
[Jamel] Josiah posted
his farewell tweet a day later
223
00:09:49,339 --> 00:09:53,176
using the J.R. squints meme,
and it was a masterpiece.
224
00:09:55,637 --> 00:09:58,056
And then, Josiah was gone.
225
00:10:02,644 --> 00:10:05,562
You know, heavy is the head
226
00:10:05,563 --> 00:10:07,398
that wears the crown, as they say,
227
00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:09,024
and that dude's been
on the top of the mountain
228
00:10:09,025 --> 00:10:10,110
for a long time.
229
00:10:10,568 --> 00:10:12,861
But, you know, we're talking Everest
230
00:10:12,862 --> 00:10:15,781
when we're talking about
the, the top of NBA Twitter,
231
00:10:15,782 --> 00:10:16,990
NBA meme mountain,
232
00:10:16,991 --> 00:10:18,826
and there's not a lot
of oxygen up there,
233
00:10:18,827 --> 00:10:20,202
and it's cold as shit.
234
00:10:20,203 --> 00:10:22,538
And also, there's a long line
of people waiting
235
00:10:22,539 --> 00:10:23,956
to go up there and take a selfie.
236
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:28,920
So, I-I'm just absolutely prepared
to watch the fallout because...
237
00:10:29,796 --> 00:10:32,381
when there's a power vacuum, you know,
238
00:10:32,382 --> 00:10:34,968
that-that creates a lot of tension.
239
00:10:38,346 --> 00:10:41,558
[Jamel]
Then J.R. squints vanished.
240
00:10:44,019 --> 00:10:45,311
How does a meme disappear like that?
241
00:10:45,729 --> 00:10:47,229
[Jamel]
Wiped from the internet.
242
00:10:47,230 --> 00:10:51,234
I have some disturbing news
to share with the nation.
243
00:10:52,902 --> 00:10:56,322
The J.R. squints meme has gone missing.
244
00:10:58,450 --> 00:10:59,825
That's heartbreaking, I guess.
245
00:10:59,826 --> 00:11:01,952
It's-- That's-That's one
of the best memes
246
00:11:01,953 --> 00:11:03,663
we've ever had as a community.
247
00:11:05,707 --> 00:11:08,292
Like, that's, that's number one.
248
00:11:08,293 --> 00:11:11,211
If we don't have squints,
we don't have anything.
249
00:11:11,212 --> 00:11:13,172
Just blow the whole--
blow it all up.
250
00:11:13,173 --> 00:11:15,175
[Amin] We're talking
about the bedrock,
251
00:11:15,717 --> 00:11:17,718
the very foundation
what NBA Twitter is,
252
00:11:17,719 --> 00:11:19,262
which are the memes.
253
00:11:19,888 --> 00:11:23,015
We can't lose this.
It's like-- We're losing recipes.
254
00:11:23,016 --> 00:11:24,851
We can't also lose our memes.
255
00:11:25,810 --> 00:11:27,436
Now the authorities have no leads.
256
00:11:27,437 --> 00:11:29,980
This reporter will not rest
257
00:11:29,981 --> 00:11:31,733
until we find out who's behind this.
258
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:35,110
[Jamel] It was even removed
from existing tweets,
259
00:11:35,111 --> 00:11:38,823
including Josiah's farewell tweet.
260
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:41,618
It stood as a monument to his career.
261
00:11:45,288 --> 00:11:47,165
The Mona Lisa had been defaced, y'all.
262
00:11:49,084 --> 00:11:51,836
As an or-a-tor... Orator?
263
00:11:52,837 --> 00:11:55,964
As a teller of stories,
I naturally saw the potential here.
264
00:11:55,965 --> 00:11:59,510
A crime committed, a culprit to find.
265
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:01,971
J.R. squints, to a normal person,
266
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:04,139
oh, his disappearance means nothing.
267
00:12:04,140 --> 00:12:06,225
But to somebody on NBA Twitter,
268
00:12:06,226 --> 00:12:11,481
J.R. squints is possibly
the most beloved meme of all time.
269
00:12:12,774 --> 00:12:13,942
I was going to need help.
270
00:12:14,818 --> 00:12:17,194
My first call was to my guy, Darius,
271
00:12:17,195 --> 00:12:19,239
my go-to cameraman most of the time.
272
00:12:20,198 --> 00:12:23,367
We shot this little scene
of me drawing J.R. on film,
273
00:12:23,368 --> 00:12:25,411
then I lost the film at the pool.
274
00:12:25,412 --> 00:12:27,621
So, then we shot it again,
digital this time.
275
00:12:27,622 --> 00:12:29,457
- [phone line ringing]
- Then I called Josiah.
276
00:12:29,874 --> 00:12:33,335
Hey, Mr. Johnson, it's also Mr. Johnson.
Yeah, it's your boy.
277
00:12:33,336 --> 00:12:36,255
I just wanted to check up on you, man.
I seen you left Twitter.
278
00:12:36,256 --> 00:12:38,800
Uh, hit me back, man.
Got some big stuff for you, homie.
279
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:41,051
Big homie, bestie.
280
00:12:41,052 --> 00:12:42,678
Was it, was it something I said?
281
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,264
And is this still your phone number?
282
00:12:44,723 --> 00:12:46,057
Call me back and tell me.
283
00:12:47,392 --> 00:12:49,018
Tell me what I did too.
284
00:12:49,019 --> 00:12:50,728
[automated voice]
Your call has been forwarded...
285
00:12:50,729 --> 00:12:52,896
It's all good if you don't
hit me back, man. I'm just...
286
00:12:52,897 --> 00:12:54,690
pondering existence.
287
00:12:54,691 --> 00:12:57,610
Hey, listen, I'm through playing
with you, dawg. Call me back!
288
00:13:01,781 --> 00:13:02,781
Hey, yo!
289
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:04,867
His phone wasn't working,
so me and Darius figure
290
00:13:04,868 --> 00:13:06,535
we go over there
and see him in person.
291
00:13:06,536 --> 00:13:08,663
He got money.
Look at this.
292
00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:11,582
Thinking about what Josiah
was up to since retiring
293
00:13:11,583 --> 00:13:13,710
had become a full-time job for me.
294
00:13:14,085 --> 00:13:17,339
I was in between real jobs,
and I had some theories.
295
00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:19,382
Something regal I imagined.
296
00:13:21,343 --> 00:13:22,634
That's real.
297
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:24,720
My working relationship
with Darius, I'll be honest,
298
00:13:24,721 --> 00:13:27,390
it's one of the more important parts
of this project.
299
00:13:28,850 --> 00:13:33,021
If it wasn't for his willingness
to explore...
300
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:40,111
and break into people's yards...
we would not have had a film.
301
00:13:40,737 --> 00:13:42,071
I tell him this every day.
302
00:13:42,072 --> 00:13:43,948
Come on, dawg.
This is a good idea.
303
00:13:44,574 --> 00:13:46,116
I know it seems questionable right now,
304
00:13:46,117 --> 00:13:47,993
but it's going to work, for both of us.
305
00:13:47,994 --> 00:13:49,162
Me and you.
306
00:13:54,584 --> 00:13:55,585
Hm.
307
00:13:56,086 --> 00:13:59,797
The Brothers Johnson reunited!
What's good, baby?
308
00:13:59,798 --> 00:14:01,341
[laughs]
309
00:14:05,095 --> 00:14:06,388
Hey, Darius, how's my hair, man?
310
00:14:07,055 --> 00:14:09,515
- We go way back. We go--
- [Josiah] Did we ever meet or...
311
00:14:09,516 --> 00:14:16,146
Let me stop you there.
We met 1996 at ABCD Camp.
312
00:14:16,147 --> 00:14:17,524
Why are you at my house?
313
00:14:18,024 --> 00:14:20,442
Bro, I tried to call you, man.
Your voicemail was full.
314
00:14:20,443 --> 00:14:23,113
Wait, were you that 571 number
that kept blowing up my phone?
315
00:14:23,905 --> 00:14:25,447
Yeah, damn,
you don't got my number saved?
316
00:14:25,448 --> 00:14:27,783
Honestly, I don't even remember
meeting Jamel at ABCD Camp.
317
00:14:27,784 --> 00:14:30,577
I didn't even go to ABCD Camp,
so I don't know what he's talking about.
318
00:14:30,578 --> 00:14:32,664
It wasn't ABCD?
Was it Five-Star?
319
00:14:33,123 --> 00:14:36,333
Was it the, uh, Nike Hoops Jamboree
and Sleepover?
320
00:14:36,334 --> 00:14:37,876
What you sipping on right there?
321
00:14:37,877 --> 00:14:39,795
That look like a nice bev.
322
00:14:39,796 --> 00:14:41,213
It's a little Kenya martini.
323
00:14:41,214 --> 00:14:42,673
Now I'm going to ask you one more time,
324
00:14:42,674 --> 00:14:44,008
then I'm calling the cops.
325
00:14:44,009 --> 00:14:47,136
Oh, wait, you was that kid
with the funky, uh, sleeping bag?
326
00:14:47,137 --> 00:14:50,347
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- [laughing] That was you.
327
00:14:50,348 --> 00:14:52,224
- That was you.
- The trash bag with the cotton balls...
328
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:55,269
- That was you. Okay.,
- ...in it. That was-- See, I knew.
329
00:14:55,270 --> 00:14:57,896
- Yeah, that was true.
- Yeah.
330
00:14:57,897 --> 00:15:00,191
[Josiah] I've been working
on my trick shots. Ooh.
331
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:02,651
[Jamel]
Okay, now. That's-- Hey.
332
00:15:02,652 --> 00:15:04,361
It was worse
than I could have imagined.
333
00:15:04,362 --> 00:15:07,239
This is my new life, Jamel.
And damn.
334
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,450
- You make any?
- I have not.
335
00:15:09,451 --> 00:15:12,787
I knew I was the only one
that could get through to you, my brother.
336
00:15:13,788 --> 00:15:15,290
First of all, we're not brothers.
337
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,584
- Oop.
- Man, that's alright, man.
338
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:21,880
No, wind took that one.
I like your shorts.
339
00:15:22,213 --> 00:15:24,590
I was doing it solely
to bring Josiah back.
340
00:15:24,591 --> 00:15:27,052
No other reasons possible.
341
00:15:27,469 --> 00:15:29,012
The internet needed him.
342
00:15:29,346 --> 00:15:31,056
Have you been on NBA Twitter lately?
343
00:15:33,141 --> 00:15:34,768
- Just look, man.
- Mother...
344
00:15:35,268 --> 00:15:36,727
- Who did this?
- [Jamel] Seven days,
345
00:15:36,728 --> 00:15:39,229
things turned into Apocalypto, man.
346
00:15:39,230 --> 00:15:42,609
[Josiah] Hold up, Donald Sterling got
NAACP Man of the Year?
347
00:15:43,318 --> 00:15:45,611
Jasmine Watkins rocking
a Celtics jersey?
348
00:15:45,612 --> 00:15:48,072
Dragonfly Jonez and LaJethro
are going by their real names?
349
00:15:48,073 --> 00:15:49,740
[Jamel]
Yeah, they made everybody get real IDs.
350
00:15:49,741 --> 00:15:51,283
We had to register like X-Men.
351
00:15:51,284 --> 00:15:53,118
Yo, hold up, Darius, Darius, back up.
352
00:15:53,119 --> 00:15:55,037
- Dracarys!
- Yeah, hey, get out of here.
353
00:15:55,038 --> 00:15:57,581
[Josiah] Ben Simmons broke
Steph Curry's three-point record?
354
00:15:57,582 --> 00:16:00,335
Six days, they made Bill O'Reilly
the head coach of the Nets.
355
00:16:00,669 --> 00:16:02,461
- [Josiah] Kawhi Leonard cut his braids?
- [Jamel] Mm-hm.
356
00:16:02,462 --> 00:16:04,046
Donated them to science.
357
00:16:04,047 --> 00:16:05,798
[Josiah]
Damn, Doc Rivers's got a OnlyFans?
358
00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:07,550
And a Twitter Blue, man.
I'm subscribed to both.
359
00:16:08,134 --> 00:16:09,385
You only been gone a week, dawg.
360
00:16:09,386 --> 00:16:11,553
Look at this, look at this calamity.
361
00:16:11,554 --> 00:16:13,347
And then we stumbled onto something.
362
00:16:13,348 --> 00:16:14,431
[Josiah]
What's this?
363
00:16:14,432 --> 00:16:16,975
[Jamel] A name
that would come to haunt us.
364
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:18,143
[Josiah]
Botto Porter Jr.?
365
00:16:18,144 --> 00:16:19,311
[Jamel]
Botto Porter Jr.
366
00:16:19,312 --> 00:16:21,355
[Josiah] He only got one tweet.
Let me see what's cracking.
367
00:16:21,356 --> 00:16:22,691
[Jamel]
It was a ransom note.
368
00:16:23,066 --> 00:16:25,109
[Josiah] "If you ever want
to see J.R. squint again,
369
00:16:25,110 --> 00:16:27,570
"then you better pay attention
when I speak next.
370
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:30,115
This is just the beginning"?
371
00:16:32,117 --> 00:16:34,201
Damn, what we got ourselves into, man?
372
00:16:34,202 --> 00:16:36,829
Josiah said, "Hey, I need to tap you
373
00:16:36,830 --> 00:16:38,872
"to be the director of this documentary.
374
00:16:38,873 --> 00:16:41,125
"This is the, the,
like, a seminal piece.
375
00:16:41,126 --> 00:16:45,671
"This is going to, like, uh, define
my life's work, et cetera, et cetera.
376
00:16:45,672 --> 00:16:47,841
Jamel, please, can you please help me?"
377
00:16:50,218 --> 00:16:51,218
What?
378
00:16:51,219 --> 00:16:54,346
Look, man, you gotta mess with me
on this documentary, man.
379
00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:57,225
Don't call nobody else in.
I got it covered, man.
380
00:16:57,684 --> 00:16:59,768
This is me. This is
my big moment, alright?
381
00:16:59,769 --> 00:17:01,353
Highly qualified, alright?
382
00:17:01,354 --> 00:17:03,023
I won my third grade spelling bee.
383
00:17:03,857 --> 00:17:05,399
Second place, fourth grade.
384
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:06,775
It writes itself.
385
00:17:06,776 --> 00:17:09,570
Jamel Johnson, Josiah Johnson,
386
00:17:09,571 --> 00:17:12,323
the Brothers Johnson, Johnson and Johnson.
387
00:17:13,408 --> 00:17:15,451
But we go harder
than the baby powder, man.
388
00:17:15,452 --> 00:17:17,411
I could shoot it, I could edit it.
389
00:17:17,412 --> 00:17:19,496
Um, proficient on Microsoft Word.
390
00:17:19,497 --> 00:17:22,166
I sold weed at NYU and Juilliard.
391
00:17:22,167 --> 00:17:24,543
- Damn.
- I did a documentary on the D band.
392
00:17:24,544 --> 00:17:27,172
I did a documentary
on my mom's church hats.
393
00:17:28,882 --> 00:17:30,008
What was it called?
394
00:17:30,633 --> 00:17:31,968
A Queen and Her Crowns.
395
00:17:32,510 --> 00:17:35,012
[Josiah] You only got, like, 27 followers,
how we going to do this?
396
00:17:35,013 --> 00:17:36,680
Hey, don't worry about
how many followers I got.
397
00:17:36,681 --> 00:17:39,850
How many tweets I got?
Four million.
398
00:17:39,851 --> 00:17:41,143
[Josiah]
That's dedication.
399
00:17:41,144 --> 00:17:43,146
Quantity over quality,
everybody know that.
400
00:17:43,730 --> 00:17:44,731
[Josiah]
Alright, man, look,
401
00:17:45,732 --> 00:17:46,732
Ava finally hit me back.
402
00:17:46,733 --> 00:17:48,025
She said if I text her
one more time,
403
00:17:48,026 --> 00:17:50,778
she going to call the cops,
so I guess I'll rock with you.
404
00:17:50,779 --> 00:17:53,030
Come on, man.
Hey, man, that's what I'm talking about.
405
00:17:53,031 --> 00:17:54,156
I don't even know no cops.
406
00:17:54,157 --> 00:17:56,367
We good, man.
Let's get this money, man.
407
00:17:56,368 --> 00:17:57,534
[Josiah]
Let's get it.
408
00:17:57,535 --> 00:18:00,413
We gotta get some wires up.
We gotta, uh, build a task force.
409
00:18:00,955 --> 00:18:02,874
Who was Botto Porter Jr.?
410
00:18:03,375 --> 00:18:05,335
Was it one of KD's burners?
411
00:18:05,794 --> 00:18:07,753
Was he from NFL Twitter perhaps?
412
00:18:07,754 --> 00:18:09,630
[Josiah] We need
to establish some ground rules.
413
00:18:09,631 --> 00:18:12,675
- [Jamel] Okay.
- [Josiah] Rule number one, no lactose.
414
00:18:12,676 --> 00:18:15,011
[Jamel]
Or was it an inside job?
415
00:18:16,137 --> 00:18:18,806
Rule number four,
you gotta tell everybody we partners.
416
00:18:18,807 --> 00:18:21,141
I'm the star, I'm the director.
417
00:18:21,142 --> 00:18:24,812
[Jamel] NBA Twitter has had
its fair share of unique personalities.
418
00:18:24,813 --> 00:18:26,522
Was Botto Porter Jr. one of us?
419
00:18:26,523 --> 00:18:28,440
[Josiah] Well, NBA Twitter's
enlightening just because
420
00:18:28,441 --> 00:18:29,942
of all the incredible personalities
421
00:18:29,943 --> 00:18:31,360
that have-have arisen from it.
422
00:18:31,361 --> 00:18:32,861
I remember when this thing first started
423
00:18:32,862 --> 00:18:36,365
during the NBA lockout, 2011,
uh, it was a different time.
424
00:18:36,366 --> 00:18:37,825
I am on a drug;
it's called Charlie Sheen.
425
00:18:37,826 --> 00:18:40,786
Obama was president,
gas prices were, were reasonable.
426
00:18:40,787 --> 00:18:43,915
We were just coming off of one of
the worst recessions in American history.
427
00:18:44,249 --> 00:18:46,041
And, uh, it was just
a time of opportunity.
428
00:18:46,042 --> 00:18:49,713
But lockout started,
and there's just no basketball.
429
00:18:50,964 --> 00:18:53,465
And, uh, we were all just
kind of stuck in limbo,
430
00:18:53,466 --> 00:18:55,175
waiting for the season to start,
431
00:18:55,176 --> 00:18:57,177
and then, uh, something beautiful
and incredible happened.
432
00:18:57,178 --> 00:18:59,054
The players kind of all got together,
433
00:18:59,055 --> 00:19:01,890
decided, "Look, we're going
to give back, uh, to the fans."
434
00:19:01,891 --> 00:19:04,893
So, they just started popping up
at-at summer leagues all over the country.
435
00:19:04,894 --> 00:19:07,646
Drew League, Goodman League,
really leagues around the world.
436
00:19:07,647 --> 00:19:09,440
And for me, personally,
I was, you know, doing a lot
437
00:19:09,441 --> 00:19:11,483
of just documenting stuff like that.
438
00:19:11,484 --> 00:19:13,318
Had a camera,
so I would just show up to spots.
439
00:19:13,319 --> 00:19:15,070
I was able to show up
to the Drew League
440
00:19:15,071 --> 00:19:17,740
when Kobe pulled up in August.
441
00:19:17,741 --> 00:19:19,283
You know, had that great game
against Harden
442
00:19:19,284 --> 00:19:20,367
where he hit the game-winner.
443
00:19:20,368 --> 00:19:22,161
If you see the footage of that,
that's my footage.
444
00:19:22,162 --> 00:19:25,164
Twitter was still kind of
in, in its infancy at that point,
445
00:19:25,165 --> 00:19:27,249
but we all kind of came together
446
00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:28,960
just unbeknownst to ourselves.
447
00:19:29,961 --> 00:19:31,712
And you just started to see
a lot of these same faces
448
00:19:31,713 --> 00:19:33,255
at a lot of these same different events
449
00:19:33,256 --> 00:19:35,257
and just a lot of people
like myself
450
00:19:35,258 --> 00:19:37,634
working in other fields who were
passionate about basketball,
451
00:19:37,635 --> 00:19:39,219
but just didn't really have an opportunity
452
00:19:39,220 --> 00:19:41,305
to showcase their knowledge,
their comedic timing,
453
00:19:41,306 --> 00:19:44,266
their humor, their sensibilities,
their ability for satire.
454
00:19:44,267 --> 00:19:46,518
It's really just spawned
this whole culture where,
455
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:48,854
you know, NFL does the best numbers,
makes the most money,
456
00:19:48,855 --> 00:19:51,523
but on a social standpoint,
nothing is getting with NBA Twitter.
457
00:19:51,524 --> 00:19:53,067
Nobody wants our fade.
458
00:19:53,068 --> 00:19:55,319
We are the most, uh, elaborate community,
459
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,612
uh, most essential community,
460
00:19:56,613 --> 00:19:58,448
and most vital community
I think of sports.
461
00:19:59,657 --> 00:20:02,034
[Jamel] And now that community
was under attack,
462
00:20:02,035 --> 00:20:04,704
but the Brothers Johnson
were on the case.
463
00:20:05,205 --> 00:20:06,997
I make this one, I'm directing the movie,
464
00:20:06,998 --> 00:20:09,209
and you're giving me your ESPN+ login.
465
00:20:09,959 --> 00:20:11,044
I'll give you Hulu.
466
00:20:11,586 --> 00:20:12,837
Ahh!
467
00:20:14,214 --> 00:20:16,173
♪ Lights, camera, action ♪
468
00:20:16,174 --> 00:20:17,466
Well, I guess you're the director.
469
00:20:17,467 --> 00:20:19,259
♪ It's time to act ♪
470
00:20:19,260 --> 00:20:20,679
♪ You love to act ♪
471
00:20:21,930 --> 00:20:23,431
If this was really an inside job,
472
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:26,267
someone in the NBA Twitter family...
473
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,521
then it could have been
somebody I already filmed.
474
00:20:30,397 --> 00:20:33,148
So we went to my edit lair
so I could show Josiah the footage.
475
00:20:33,149 --> 00:20:34,942
We ready to go, man.
We fully equipped.
476
00:20:34,943 --> 00:20:38,320
Me and Darius, we got
the edit lair all set up.
477
00:20:38,321 --> 00:20:40,740
We already done shot half
the documentary already.
478
00:20:42,075 --> 00:20:43,450
Bienvenidos.
479
00:20:43,451 --> 00:20:45,704
[Josiah] I'm used to people gassing
things up, hyping them up,
480
00:20:46,162 --> 00:20:48,914
but this was gassed up at a level
that I had never truly seen before.
481
00:20:48,915 --> 00:20:50,499
What kind of edit lair is this?
482
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:52,751
Dude, it is the lair, player.
483
00:20:52,752 --> 00:20:54,878
Cutoff: Rise and Fall
of the Sleeve Jerseys?
484
00:20:54,879 --> 00:20:55,963
[Jamel]
Mm-hm.
485
00:20:55,964 --> 00:20:57,548
Bittersweet:
The Michael Olowokandi Story?
486
00:20:57,549 --> 00:20:58,841
Man, these ain't no real docs.
487
00:20:58,842 --> 00:21:00,175
[Jamel]
Well, not with that attitude.
488
00:21:00,176 --> 00:21:02,302
He claimed that he had
the Adobe Premiere Suite.
489
00:21:02,303 --> 00:21:05,264
Uh, looked like it was
a bootleg janky version.
490
00:21:05,265 --> 00:21:06,807
There's nothing premiere
about this Adobe.
491
00:21:06,808 --> 00:21:08,475
[Jamel]
Look, this is Adobo Premiere.
492
00:21:08,476 --> 00:21:10,061
It's just a little spicier.
493
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,438
Why are Jasmine
and LaJethro on the screen?
494
00:21:12,439 --> 00:21:15,399
Well, I had them in
for a Bonzi Wells doc I'm working on,
495
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,234
but the footage works for us perfect.
496
00:21:17,235 --> 00:21:19,653
We started with the folks
who seemed the most shady,
497
00:21:19,654 --> 00:21:21,155
tried to poke holes in their story.
498
00:21:21,156 --> 00:21:23,574
[on video] Can you tell me where
you were when the meme went missing?
499
00:21:23,575 --> 00:21:27,120
Yeah, I was, uh, I was minding
my cannabis garden in my backyard.
500
00:21:29,497 --> 00:21:31,374
You know damn well
he don't know how to garden.
501
00:21:31,958 --> 00:21:33,459
I don't even know
how to do no shit like that.
502
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:35,919
I'm not smart enough to wipe
a meme from the internet.
503
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,672
I could have been on a date.
You don't know that.
504
00:21:38,965 --> 00:21:40,382
[Josiah] Damn, is that
a John Wall Jersey?
505
00:21:40,383 --> 00:21:41,468
Goddamn right.
506
00:21:43,011 --> 00:21:44,304
Who could it be?
507
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:46,096
[Jemele Hill]
I don't know. I-- Look, I--
508
00:21:46,097 --> 00:21:48,516
Look, I don't know nothing about that.
I don't know nothing about that.
509
00:21:48,808 --> 00:21:50,225
I don't know nothing about no squinting.
510
00:21:50,226 --> 00:21:51,643
I don't know nothing
about no J.R. Smith.
511
00:21:51,644 --> 00:21:53,897
Only J.R. I know is J.R. from Dallas.
512
00:21:54,647 --> 00:21:56,315
Damn, you got a good-looking family, bro.
513
00:21:56,316 --> 00:21:58,025
Hold up.
Is this me?
514
00:21:58,026 --> 00:21:59,526
[Jamel]
I thought you'd like it, honestly.
515
00:21:59,527 --> 00:22:01,196
Trying to get us in a family mode.
516
00:22:01,696 --> 00:22:02,696
[Josiah]
Do you live here?
517
00:22:02,697 --> 00:22:05,324
I work here,
and what is life if not work?
518
00:22:05,325 --> 00:22:07,744
First things first, it was not me.
519
00:22:08,078 --> 00:22:09,119
It was him.
520
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:10,287
[Josiah]
Fifteenth place.
521
00:22:10,288 --> 00:22:11,497
[Jamel]
Hey, somebody gotta do it.
522
00:22:11,498 --> 00:22:12,581
They make trophies for that?
523
00:22:12,582 --> 00:22:13,874
[Jamel]
Hell yeah.
524
00:22:13,875 --> 00:22:15,584
Well, I didn't know about that.
It went missing?
525
00:22:15,585 --> 00:22:17,586
[Jamel]
His fingers is too clasped.
526
00:22:17,587 --> 00:22:20,048
Look how clasped, them fingers
look like a lobster tail.
527
00:22:20,924 --> 00:22:22,842
I'm terrified right now.
528
00:22:23,593 --> 00:22:25,469
This man is from the hood.
What's he scared of?
529
00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:27,262
Look the way he's swigging
that Chardonnay.
530
00:22:27,263 --> 00:22:28,722
That ain't Chardonnay.
That's apple juice.
531
00:22:28,723 --> 00:22:29,933
Man, this guy's a freak.
532
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:31,767
The whole time
I was talking to him,
533
00:22:31,768 --> 00:22:32,851
he was pretending to be drunk.
534
00:22:32,852 --> 00:22:34,770
I'm like, dawg, that's Mott's.
I can smell it.
535
00:22:34,771 --> 00:22:36,814
[Cuttino Mobley]
I don't like telling on nobody, you know?
536
00:22:36,815 --> 00:22:37,981
I don't like telling on nobody.
537
00:22:37,982 --> 00:22:39,942
Ron Artest, um... [clears throat]
538
00:22:39,943 --> 00:22:41,360
Metta World Peace,
539
00:22:41,361 --> 00:22:42,820
he may know a little bit.
540
00:22:42,821 --> 00:22:44,280
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
541
00:22:44,698 --> 00:22:47,409
Look, you told me this was off the record.
Like, what-what is all this?
542
00:22:48,118 --> 00:22:49,326
Yeah, I'm going to be real.
543
00:22:49,327 --> 00:22:50,911
If Metta World Peace stole it,
he can have it.
544
00:22:50,912 --> 00:22:52,705
- [Jamel] That's real.
- [Josiah] I don't want that for it.
545
00:22:52,706 --> 00:22:54,289
Hey, yo, holmes, look, you gotta run.
546
00:22:54,290 --> 00:22:56,458
I'm trying to watch the game with my son.
547
00:22:56,459 --> 00:22:57,918
Flavor Flav?
548
00:22:57,919 --> 00:22:59,294
[Jamel]
Three hours had passed,
549
00:22:59,295 --> 00:23:01,755
two Shaquille O'Neal CDs
had been listened to,
550
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,633
and one meme was still missing.
551
00:23:04,509 --> 00:23:05,885
We were getting nowhere,
552
00:23:06,386 --> 00:23:08,887
and nowhere was getting us.
553
00:23:08,888 --> 00:23:10,472
So I decided to try something new.
554
00:23:10,473 --> 00:23:12,933
I played Josiah some clips
I felt he should see.
555
00:23:12,934 --> 00:23:15,270
[Zach Harper] [on video] It's devastating
for the NBA Twitter world.
556
00:23:15,937 --> 00:23:21,900
Josiah's the, I would say,
currently the best at it.
557
00:23:21,901 --> 00:23:23,403
Maybe not the greatest ever...
558
00:23:25,155 --> 00:23:26,406
but the best at it now.
559
00:23:26,948 --> 00:23:29,116
I'm devastated.
I mean, I...
560
00:23:29,117 --> 00:23:30,952
He is saying some nice stuff in there.
561
00:23:32,162 --> 00:23:33,871
He a hater, but he got heart.
562
00:23:33,872 --> 00:23:36,666
Just come back, save the day, bro.
Come on, we need you.
563
00:23:37,959 --> 00:23:39,336
[Josiah]
Caron Butler needs me?
564
00:23:41,671 --> 00:23:43,131
Hey, that's what he said.
565
00:23:44,007 --> 00:23:45,507
You mean a lot to these people, man.
Look.
566
00:23:45,508 --> 00:23:49,137
You guys are not
processing this the way I am.
567
00:23:50,513 --> 00:23:51,890
He threw up off-camera...
568
00:23:54,351 --> 00:23:55,643
out of pure anxiety.
569
00:23:57,312 --> 00:24:01,024
Meanwhile, a Twitter sleuth found a clue
in the ransom video.
570
00:24:01,483 --> 00:24:04,777
If you tweak the color
and invert the something or other,
571
00:24:04,778 --> 00:24:08,155
it reveals an MSG logo
burned into the TV
572
00:24:08,156 --> 00:24:09,657
from never changing the channel.
573
00:24:11,242 --> 00:24:13,912
It was a clue.
It was a new clue.
574
00:24:14,954 --> 00:24:16,748
Botto Porter was a Knicks fan!
575
00:24:17,248 --> 00:24:19,750
'Cause every single team has
their own version of Twitter
576
00:24:19,751 --> 00:24:22,336
whether that's Lakers Twitter
or Warriors Twitter or Celtics Twitter.
577
00:24:22,337 --> 00:24:24,963
I think Warriors Twitter
is at war with everybody
578
00:24:24,964 --> 00:24:26,632
'cause nobody likes them.
579
00:24:26,633 --> 00:24:28,509
Warriors Twitter's definitely
that crazy cousin
580
00:24:28,510 --> 00:24:31,220
who, literally, you know,
just got some fly gear recently
581
00:24:31,221 --> 00:24:33,014
and they think that they run shit now.
582
00:24:33,431 --> 00:24:35,474
Warriors fans are not
the ones you want to deal with.
583
00:24:35,475 --> 00:24:37,017
I mean, they're--
they don't know enough.
584
00:24:37,018 --> 00:24:39,937
Like, basketball was invented
for them in 2015,
585
00:24:39,938 --> 00:24:42,272
so it's not like you're dealing
with, like, true old heads,
586
00:24:42,273 --> 00:24:44,526
but there's a lot more
of them than you think.
587
00:24:44,776 --> 00:24:46,527
[Josiah] Clippers Twitter,
up and coming, burgeoning,
588
00:24:46,528 --> 00:24:48,529
really, really some
talented, smart people there.
589
00:24:48,530 --> 00:24:51,448
Nets Twitter's really just Mina Kimes,
but it's growing.
590
00:24:51,449 --> 00:24:54,952
I feel like Boston Twitter's at war
with everybody, particularly Josiah.
591
00:24:54,953 --> 00:24:56,036
He be on they head.
592
00:24:56,037 --> 00:24:57,329
You should be nice to Pacers fans.
593
00:24:57,330 --> 00:24:59,456
We've done nothing but be kind.
594
00:24:59,457 --> 00:25:02,251
Also, the Indiana Pacers fan base
is the worst fan base
595
00:25:02,252 --> 00:25:03,627
in the history of basketball.
596
00:25:03,628 --> 00:25:06,797
I would say the Lakers fans,
597
00:25:06,798 --> 00:25:09,883
I'm not telling you anything
you don't know, darkness.
598
00:25:09,884 --> 00:25:11,427
[Josiah]
You think about Lakers Twitter,
599
00:25:11,428 --> 00:25:13,387
notorious for bullying people
to greatness.
600
00:25:13,388 --> 00:25:16,306
Like I said, we saw it
with KCP in the Bubble,
601
00:25:16,307 --> 00:25:18,934
we saw it with Kuz,
but th-they'll literally bully people
602
00:25:18,935 --> 00:25:21,103
and take them to a whole
'nother level in their game
603
00:25:21,104 --> 00:25:23,564
out of fear of, of feeling the wrath
of Lakers Twitter.
604
00:25:23,565 --> 00:25:26,191
Whew.
Jazz, not good.
605
00:25:26,192 --> 00:25:28,193
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
Too white.
606
00:25:28,194 --> 00:25:30,070
The Miami Heat.
Get 'em out of here.
607
00:25:30,071 --> 00:25:32,114
Knicks fans.
Ew. Okay.
608
00:25:32,115 --> 00:25:34,117
[Cuttino]
New York Knicks fans are terrible.
609
00:25:34,701 --> 00:25:36,661
- Bing bong.
- [Josiah] Never trust a Knicks fan, man.
610
00:25:37,370 --> 00:25:39,622
Stephen A. Smith, Spike Lee.
611
00:25:41,708 --> 00:25:43,876
Way too old, right?
And the hairlines are way too janky.
612
00:25:43,877 --> 00:25:44,961
This is true.
613
00:25:45,462 --> 00:25:48,465
But what other Knicks fan do we know
with that same level of desert thirst?
614
00:25:49,758 --> 00:25:52,760
- Mero.
- [Jamel] Michael Rapa-- Mero.
615
00:25:52,761 --> 00:25:54,304
Yeah, Mero!
616
00:25:54,888 --> 00:25:56,014
I never liked him anyway.
617
00:25:56,306 --> 00:25:57,806
[Jamel] It turned out
Mero was in Los Angeles
618
00:25:57,807 --> 00:25:59,975
to launch a new line of blunt wraps,
619
00:25:59,976 --> 00:26:01,602
so we invited him over.
620
00:26:01,603 --> 00:26:04,564
Okay, uh, we got a suspect.
It's Mero.
621
00:26:05,190 --> 00:26:08,317
What does "Mero" mean?
Is that Dominican for "criminal"?
622
00:26:08,318 --> 00:26:09,860
[Josiah]
After looking at the note,
623
00:26:09,861 --> 00:26:12,029
seeing the way "just"
was spelled "jurst,"
624
00:26:12,030 --> 00:26:14,240
which sounds like "jur,"
which sounds like "ur"...
625
00:26:14,991 --> 00:26:17,160
- Mm.
- ...Mero was the prime suspect.
626
00:26:17,994 --> 00:26:21,205
And he was the first person
who saw that the meme was gone
627
00:26:21,206 --> 00:26:24,625
and if I know anything,
whoever smelt it, did what?
628
00:26:24,626 --> 00:26:25,709
Dealt it.
629
00:26:25,710 --> 00:26:27,378
[Josiah] We knew with Mero,
he's a clever guy,
630
00:26:27,379 --> 00:26:29,963
and, uh, we had to be
really strategic and resourceful
631
00:26:29,964 --> 00:26:31,090
in getting it out of him.
632
00:26:31,091 --> 00:26:32,466
He wasn't just going to give it to us.
633
00:26:32,467 --> 00:26:35,345
Now what?
We see you, Mero.
634
00:26:36,721 --> 00:26:38,597
[Jamel]
We set up three secret cameras.
635
00:26:38,598 --> 00:26:39,849
One in the tissue box.
636
00:26:40,392 --> 00:26:41,725
[Josiah]
We going to get him.
637
00:26:41,726 --> 00:26:42,810
[Jamel]
One overhead.
638
00:26:42,811 --> 00:26:44,228
[Josiah]
We're gonna get that meme back.
639
00:26:44,229 --> 00:26:46,021
Yeah, we about to get his ass.
640
00:26:46,022 --> 00:26:47,106
[Jamel]
One in a bag of Fritos.
641
00:26:47,107 --> 00:26:48,190
[Josiah]
Yep.
642
00:26:48,191 --> 00:26:49,608
These New York guys,
man, I'm sick of it.
643
00:26:49,609 --> 00:26:51,235
[whispers]
He was never going to see it coming.
644
00:26:51,236 --> 00:26:53,028
[Josiah] The charcuterie
going to get it out of him.
645
00:26:53,029 --> 00:26:56,573
Mm-hm. You be the bad cop,
I'll be the badder cop.
646
00:26:56,574 --> 00:26:58,659
- Mero's an idiot.
- [folder thuds]
647
00:26:58,660 --> 00:27:01,454
Huh? Keep your feet
shoulder width apart
648
00:27:01,913 --> 00:27:03,747
and then kind of come from the chest area.
649
00:27:03,748 --> 00:27:04,958
[Josiah]
Hiya!
650
00:27:05,458 --> 00:27:06,668
[Jamel]
The trap had been laid.
651
00:27:08,086 --> 00:27:11,255
All that was left was for the rat
to find the cheese board.
652
00:27:11,256 --> 00:27:13,507
- Thanks for coming through, my guy.
- [Mero] No. Oh, for sure, man.
653
00:27:13,508 --> 00:27:16,010
[indistinct chatter]
654
00:27:16,011 --> 00:27:18,012
...kick it, like, play a little,
you know what I'm saying?
655
00:27:18,013 --> 00:27:22,266
[Jamel] He was nervous. I could smell
the sweat dripping down his back.
656
00:27:22,267 --> 00:27:24,059
[Mero] You got, you got
a PS5 on deck or something?
657
00:27:24,060 --> 00:27:25,769
[Josiah]
Oh, we, we gon' play.
658
00:27:25,770 --> 00:27:27,229
- We definitely playing.
- [Josiah] Yeah.
659
00:27:27,230 --> 00:27:29,940
And Mero's a good dude.
We're good friends. I trust him.
660
00:27:29,941 --> 00:27:32,235
But he also chokes up
his Tims too tight.
661
00:27:32,944 --> 00:27:36,196
And he's a Knicks fan,
so how trustworthy can he really be?
662
00:27:36,197 --> 00:27:37,906
How about you have a seat?
Go ahead and sit down.
663
00:27:37,907 --> 00:27:40,159
We got a little-- We got this,
uh, meat platter for you.
664
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,161
Oh, shit.
Oh, the charcuterie?
665
00:27:42,162 --> 00:27:45,122
Yeah, yeah. Now, now, we brought
the full Colombo set out for you...
666
00:27:45,123 --> 00:27:46,248
[Mero]
Oh, sh--
667
00:27:46,249 --> 00:27:48,292
[Josiah] New Yorkers are known
for gassing things up
668
00:27:48,293 --> 00:27:49,794
- like basketball...

00:33:37,934 --> 00:33:40,937
"something from Twitter
actually made the leap
829
00:33:41,563 --> 00:33:42,939
to real life TV."
830
00:33:43,648 --> 00:33:44,774
You're welcome.
831
00:33:45,608 --> 00:33:46,900
[Jamel]
Where are we at, man?
832
00:33:46,901 --> 00:33:49,069
Why you got us on these backroads?
833
00:33:49,070 --> 00:33:50,488
How long you say this ride was?
834
00:33:51,114 --> 00:33:52,614
[Josiah] It's supposed
to be about six hours,
835
00:33:52,615 --> 00:33:54,324
but we've been on the road
for about eight.
836
00:33:54,325 --> 00:33:55,576
[Jamel]
You check the map?
837
00:33:55,577 --> 00:33:56,785
I got the map right here, bro.
838
00:33:56,786 --> 00:33:58,580
I'm like LeBron, I'm cerebral with mine.
839
00:34:00,081 --> 00:34:02,292
Alright, bro, check NBA Twitter.
See what's going down.
840
00:34:03,209 --> 00:34:05,337
Yo, man. Check NBA Twitter.
See what's going down.
841
00:34:06,546 --> 00:34:08,881
Yo, just check NBA Twitter again.
See what's going down.
842
00:34:08,882 --> 00:34:09,965
[exhales]
843
00:34:09,966 --> 00:34:11,468
[Jamel]
I thought you retired.
844
00:34:12,010 --> 00:34:13,969
I mean, why is it bothering you
so much, man?
845
00:34:13,970 --> 00:34:18,308
It must mean some amount
of something, retired man.
846
00:34:21,728 --> 00:34:22,729
Yo...
847
00:34:24,564 --> 00:34:26,149
Botto Porter took 10 more memes, man.
848
00:34:26,941 --> 00:34:27,942
Damn, 10 more?
849
00:34:28,985 --> 00:34:30,820
- Doc Rivers?
- [Jamel] Gone, man.
850
00:34:31,613 --> 00:34:33,739
- [Josiah] Harden side eye?
- [Jamel] Gone.
851
00:34:33,740 --> 00:34:35,199
[Josiah]
Alonzo mourning?
852
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:36,368
[Jamel]
Also gone.
853
00:34:36,993 --> 00:34:38,285
[Josiah]
LeBron stare?
854
00:34:38,286 --> 00:34:39,621
[Jamel]
They all gone, man!
855
00:34:43,500 --> 00:34:44,667
[Josiah]
Bobo?
856
00:34:44,668 --> 00:34:45,835
[Jamel]
Gone, gone.
857
00:34:46,169 --> 00:34:48,504
[speaker 1] [on phone] I mean, I think
Adam Silver should have declared
858
00:34:48,505 --> 00:34:51,256
a state of emergency
a long goddamn time ago.
859
00:34:51,257 --> 00:34:53,884
[Michelle Kim] [on phone]
And when we lose these memes,
860
00:34:53,885 --> 00:34:57,805
it's like we're losing the vowels
and the consonants.
861
00:34:57,806 --> 00:35:00,683
Imagine if we didn't have the letter A.
862
00:35:00,684 --> 00:35:02,685
Like, just think about that.
863
00:35:02,686 --> 00:35:04,062
[speaker 2]
Damn, people going missing?
864
00:35:05,230 --> 00:35:06,523
Scary times, dawg.
865
00:35:07,399 --> 00:35:11,235
Yo, I think we should go live,
tell the people we're on the case.
866
00:35:11,236 --> 00:35:13,113
Try to get the morale up,
you know what I'm saying?
867
00:35:13,863 --> 00:35:14,905
[Josiah]
No, I'm good.
868
00:35:14,906 --> 00:35:16,031
Alright, we going live.
869
00:35:16,032 --> 00:35:21,036
Three, two, one, hey, yo!
Wow.
870
00:35:21,037 --> 00:35:22,746
It's my brother, man.
871
00:35:22,747 --> 00:35:24,039
[Josiah]
Bro, we are not related.
872
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,959
It's Jamel and Josiah,
the Brothers Johnson.
873
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,335
Uh, we on the case.
874
00:35:28,336 --> 00:35:31,213
Look, everybody just relax.
Take it easy.
875
00:35:31,214 --> 00:35:34,299
I know it looks bad right now,
but we're handling things.
876
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:36,427
Remember to focus
on your breathing out there, y'all.
877
00:35:36,428 --> 00:35:38,763
We going to get them memes
back soon, alright?
878
00:35:39,472 --> 00:35:41,016
Tell 'em something.
Tell 'em, yeah.
879
00:35:42,183 --> 00:35:43,517
Get me off of camera, man.
880
00:35:43,518 --> 00:35:45,561
Ah, yeah. Nah, he going to get
with y'all later.
881
00:35:45,562 --> 00:35:50,900
NBA Twitter, it's like
a very interesting intersection
882
00:35:51,234 --> 00:35:53,819
where delusional meets stupid.
883
00:35:53,820 --> 00:35:56,530
Social media, especially,
people want to try and flex
884
00:35:56,531 --> 00:35:59,324
and, and people play a character
that they're, they're not in real life.
885
00:35:59,325 --> 00:36:00,659
So, they act a certain way.
886
00:36:00,660 --> 00:36:01,994
They have a certain tone about 'em.
887
00:36:01,995 --> 00:36:03,705
With my brother, man.
888
00:36:04,956 --> 00:36:07,417
It's me and my brother, man.
889
00:36:08,418 --> 00:36:11,546
Social media,
especially NBA Twitter,
890
00:36:12,130 --> 00:36:14,506
has allowed them
to be able to say
891
00:36:14,507 --> 00:36:15,841
any type of shit that they want.
892
00:36:15,842 --> 00:36:19,428
You're a weak ass, [bleep] ass,
candy ass, flopping [bleep].
893
00:36:19,429 --> 00:36:21,973
Go [bleep] yourself,
you cheating ass [bleep].
894
00:36:22,557 --> 00:36:24,683
Angrier now.
It's a lot angrier.
895
00:36:24,684 --> 00:36:27,144
Alright, hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, Q and A time.
896
00:36:27,145 --> 00:36:28,896
Hold up. Hey, what's up, everybody?
897
00:36:28,897 --> 00:36:31,273
Let's tap in. Tap in with us.
898
00:36:31,274 --> 00:36:32,608
Oh, whoa.
899
00:36:32,609 --> 00:36:35,611
These comments are a little,
a little rude, man.
900
00:36:35,612 --> 00:36:37,154
Jrue Holiday [bleep] nuts.
901
00:36:37,155 --> 00:36:39,449
[Josiah] LeBron could post a tweet
about opening up a new school,
902
00:36:39,866 --> 00:36:42,618
you look at the mentions, immediately,
"Oh, you're a fraud. I hate you."
903
00:36:42,619 --> 00:36:44,788
NBA fans are terrible.
904
00:36:45,830 --> 00:36:46,872
Wait, are you taping this?
905
00:36:46,873 --> 00:36:49,208
[clears throat]
Okay, hey, you know what?
906
00:36:49,209 --> 00:36:51,669
I love the NBA fans,
especially New York Knicks fans.
907
00:36:51,670 --> 00:36:53,337
Very encouraging...
908
00:36:53,338 --> 00:36:55,214
- [crowd chanting]
- [Cuttino] ...supportive.
909
00:36:55,215 --> 00:36:58,550
Okay, Cleveland fans,
LeBron James, burning the jersey,
910
00:36:58,551 --> 00:36:59,677
all that, I love it.
911
00:36:59,678 --> 00:37:01,553
Uh, I played at UCLA with a guy
named Matt Barnes
912
00:37:01,554 --> 00:37:03,180
who's a good friend of mine
913
00:37:03,181 --> 00:37:04,765
and Matt gets trolled all the time
914
00:37:04,766 --> 00:37:06,975
and then when he actually pulls up
on these people in real life,
915
00:37:06,976 --> 00:37:08,769
it's like, "Oh, man,
I'm a big fan, I love you. No."
916
00:37:08,770 --> 00:37:09,853
You know what I mean?
917
00:37:09,854 --> 00:37:11,063
Yeah, I fire back.
I fire back.
918
00:37:11,064 --> 00:37:12,606
They get cussed out by people like me
919
00:37:12,607 --> 00:37:13,899
'cause they say crazy stuff to me,
920
00:37:13,900 --> 00:37:16,985
so I retaliate now that I don't get fined
for doing it anymore.
921
00:37:16,986 --> 00:37:19,697
I used to--
Look, I used to hop in some DMs.
922
00:37:19,698 --> 00:37:20,948
I used to hop in some DMs.
923
00:37:20,949 --> 00:37:23,450
But the trolls, like,
they just want a reaction.
924
00:37:23,451 --> 00:37:27,246
Hey, I know how my clothes
are supposed to fit, alright?
925
00:37:27,247 --> 00:37:29,415
Nah, I bought all this myself,
926
00:37:29,416 --> 00:37:30,833
and this my van.
927
00:37:30,834 --> 00:37:32,334
- Yeah, straight cash, homie.
- [tire bursts]
928
00:37:32,335 --> 00:37:34,878
- [Josiah] Oh, shit.
- [Jamel screams]
929
00:37:34,879 --> 00:37:36,256
[Josiah] Think we got a flat.
930
00:37:37,507 --> 00:37:39,425
Bro, squeal with some bass
in your voice.
931
00:37:39,426 --> 00:37:43,138
Well, you know, I remember
the tire going flat.
932
00:37:43,513 --> 00:37:46,641
My first thought was, "Remain calm,
933
00:37:47,058 --> 00:37:50,060
keep your heart rate at a minimum."
934
00:37:50,061 --> 00:37:52,855
I kind of started to channel,
like, snakes,
935
00:37:52,856 --> 00:37:54,232
you know, various reptiles.
936
00:37:54,774 --> 00:37:57,151
[Josiah] Just get me out of here, man.
Oh, my goodness.
937
00:37:57,152 --> 00:37:58,444
Get me out of here.
938
00:37:58,445 --> 00:38:01,448
You gotta get out first
'cause that's the only door that work.
939
00:38:02,032 --> 00:38:04,033
And Josiah might've been
a little rattled, you know?
940
00:38:04,034 --> 00:38:05,201
No pun intended.
941
00:38:06,745 --> 00:38:07,745
I was rattled?
942
00:38:07,746 --> 00:38:09,955
Dawg, it's 300 degrees in this van.
943
00:38:09,956 --> 00:38:12,125
Can you please get up out the van?
944
00:38:12,876 --> 00:38:13,959
When I'm ready.
945
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,878
I thought you might've been
a little rattled. A little--
946
00:38:15,879 --> 00:38:17,881
- You looked a little rattle-y.
- I'm all conditions, bro.
947
00:38:18,465 --> 00:38:20,299
Should have never came
on this trip with you.
948
00:38:20,300 --> 00:38:21,508
Thank you.
949
00:38:21,509 --> 00:38:22,594
[Josiah]
My back hurt.
950
00:38:23,803 --> 00:38:25,513
We all got backs, man.
Come on.
951
00:38:29,103 --> 00:38:30,351
Yeah, we caught a flat out here.
952
00:38:30,352 --> 00:38:31,811
I was just wondering if you, um...
953
00:38:33,063 --> 00:38:34,855
you got a AAA card
we could use or...
954
00:38:34,856 --> 00:38:37,358
[Mero] [on phone] I mean, I can send--
Can-- I can send you a metro card.
955
00:38:37,359 --> 00:38:38,777
Do they take those out there?
956
00:38:40,612 --> 00:38:41,654
I mean, what...
957
00:38:42,322 --> 00:38:43,323
Yo, you said...
958
00:38:44,282 --> 00:38:45,949
You said call you
if we needed help.
959
00:38:45,950 --> 00:38:48,535
Hey, this is,
this is help time.
960
00:38:48,536 --> 00:38:49,661
- I got you.
- You the help.
961
00:38:49,662 --> 00:38:51,246
I got you right now.
I picked up the phone.
962
00:38:51,247 --> 00:38:52,373
[Jamel]
Hurry, get us.
963
00:38:52,374 --> 00:38:53,582
[Mero]
Oh, go get you?
964
00:38:53,583 --> 00:38:55,459
- Brother, I'm--
- Dawg, I thought you had my back, man.
965
00:38:55,460 --> 00:38:57,211
- I thought you--
- [Mero] Yeah, so that's the thing,
966
00:38:57,212 --> 00:38:58,295
like, I just said that.
967
00:38:58,296 --> 00:39:00,005
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I ain't really...
968
00:39:00,006 --> 00:39:01,298
I... Like, I, you know--
969
00:39:01,299 --> 00:39:03,342
Like, i-it's a colloquialism.
970
00:39:03,343 --> 00:39:05,762
[Jamel] Alright, well, well, thanks
for teaching me a new word, dawg.
971
00:39:07,764 --> 00:39:08,765
Have a good one.
972
00:39:11,393 --> 00:39:12,560
[exclaims]
973
00:39:14,479 --> 00:39:15,605
[Josiah]
What'd he say?
974
00:39:16,356 --> 00:39:17,981
He told us we could eat his shorts, man.
975
00:39:17,982 --> 00:39:19,109
[bleep] Mero.
976
00:39:19,984 --> 00:39:21,318
Nah, we've been out here a while, dawg.
977
00:39:21,319 --> 00:39:23,196
We gotta be in Phoenix by tomorrow, bro.
978
00:39:24,447 --> 00:39:26,783
You alright? Need water?
979
00:39:28,243 --> 00:39:30,494
I don't got none, but-but just
let me know if you need one.
980
00:39:30,495 --> 00:39:31,871
I'll give you the water
first when we--
981
00:39:34,708 --> 00:39:36,584
So, you got a map the whole time?!
982
00:39:37,752 --> 00:39:39,879
What does the map say?
983
00:39:40,964 --> 00:39:43,049
- [Josiah] You know how to read maps?
- You serious?
984
00:39:44,759 --> 00:39:45,844
I think I got a bar.
985
00:39:46,344 --> 00:39:47,762
I got a bar for your ass.
986
00:39:49,431 --> 00:39:50,973
We were stranded in the desert
987
00:39:50,974 --> 00:39:52,600
with no hope in sight.
988
00:39:53,143 --> 00:39:55,520
Is this what it's like to play
for the Washington Wizards?
989
00:39:57,063 --> 00:39:58,772
My life started to flash before my eyes,
990
00:39:58,773 --> 00:40:00,608
all the people I had trolled online.
991
00:40:02,193 --> 00:40:04,237
Should I have just said
the Warriors were good?
992
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:06,948
No, never.
993
00:40:07,449 --> 00:40:09,200
I'd rather die with nothing.
994
00:40:11,077 --> 00:40:13,371
But before shit got too real,
we found a town.
995
00:40:14,497 --> 00:40:15,707
The town of Dukes.
996
00:40:20,211 --> 00:40:22,254
And I thought them fire ants
was going to jump me.
997
00:40:22,255 --> 00:40:23,423
They took my hat.
998
00:40:23,923 --> 00:40:26,008
- [Josiah] It's a cold game.
- [Jamel sighs]
999
00:40:26,009 --> 00:40:28,635
[Jamel] Dukes was a small town.
It only had one bar.
1000
00:40:28,636 --> 00:40:30,096
It might have been the only building.
1001
00:40:31,056 --> 00:40:32,348
[Josiah]
God bless you.
1002
00:40:32,349 --> 00:40:33,600
[Jamel]
You're welcome, sir.
1003
00:40:34,976 --> 00:40:38,396
We walked inside,
but it smelled like outside.
1004
00:40:38,813 --> 00:40:42,900
Ugh. I didn't like it, man.
Not one bit.
1005
00:40:42,901 --> 00:40:45,319
- [people chattering]
- [♪ hip-hop music playing]
1006
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:46,780
[Jamel]
But at least they had the game on.
1007
00:40:48,031 --> 00:40:50,282
- What's, uh, what's going on with that?
- Oh, uh, that's Darius.
1008
00:40:50,283 --> 00:40:51,867
We settled in and watched the game.
1009
00:40:51,868 --> 00:40:53,702
See, that's the thing,
a lot of people don't realize
1010
00:40:53,703 --> 00:40:55,622
you can be European and Black.
1011
00:40:55,914 --> 00:40:58,291
- Wow.
- Whoa, a tight game.
1012
00:40:58,875 --> 00:41:00,085
You guys watch basketball?
1013
00:41:01,127 --> 00:41:02,169
A little bit.
1014
00:41:02,170 --> 00:41:04,129
[Jamel] It turned out
the whole town was die-hard.
1015
00:41:04,130 --> 00:41:05,339
Come on, Curry.
1016
00:41:05,340 --> 00:41:07,091
[patron] What's your ideal
starting five look like?
1017
00:41:07,092 --> 00:41:08,634
I'll probably put LeBron at center.
1018
00:41:08,635 --> 00:41:10,260
- Okay.
- LeBron at power forward.
1019
00:41:10,261 --> 00:41:12,179
[Jamel]
Move like if a baby could run,
1020
00:41:12,180 --> 00:41:14,014
but also was pushing a shopping cart.
1021
00:41:14,015 --> 00:41:15,182
[Josiah]
LeBron at small forward,
1022
00:41:15,183 --> 00:41:17,017
LeBron at shooting guard,
1023
00:41:17,018 --> 00:41:18,435
and point guard, probably Luka.
1024
00:41:18,436 --> 00:41:20,270
Personal favorite, Popeye Jones.
1025
00:41:20,271 --> 00:41:22,815
This little town still using
dial-up internet
1026
00:41:22,816 --> 00:41:25,360
loved the NBA as much as I did.
1027
00:41:25,819 --> 00:41:28,113
I saw a guy writing a tweet
with a sewing machine.
1028
00:41:29,155 --> 00:41:31,991
This lady was wearing basketball shorts
under her jeans,
1029
00:41:32,492 --> 00:41:35,411
and this woman told me
she used to date Ricky Rubio.
1030
00:41:35,412 --> 00:41:37,163
I don't know why I bet on these games.
1031
00:41:37,789 --> 00:41:38,997
They screw me over.
1032
00:41:38,998 --> 00:41:41,083
[Jamel]
And then this dude, yo,
1033
00:41:41,084 --> 00:41:43,336
I don't even know
what was up with this dude.
1034
00:41:43,962 --> 00:41:45,129
Dukes is strange.
1035
00:41:45,130 --> 00:41:46,922
- Pickle?
- You don't know pickleball?
1036
00:41:46,923 --> 00:41:48,090
[Jamel]
But it was fun.
1037
00:41:48,091 --> 00:41:49,383
[Josiah]
Hey, do what you want to do.
1038
00:41:49,384 --> 00:41:51,510
- [Jamel] Well, that's like 90.
- [Josiah] Do what you wanna do.
1039
00:41:51,511 --> 00:41:53,637
[Jamel] As we talked with everyone,
one phrase kept coming up.
1040
00:41:53,638 --> 00:41:55,222
You at least gotta
stick around for tomorrow.
1041
00:41:55,223 --> 00:41:57,641
- Tomorrow, we're having a rally.
- [Jamel] Do I have to come to the rally?
1042
00:41:57,642 --> 00:41:59,184
- A rally going on.
- We are having a rally.
1043
00:41:59,185 --> 00:42:01,061
[Jamel]
I don't know about rallies, man.
1044
00:42:01,062 --> 00:42:02,688
We rally, rally, rally.
1045
00:42:02,689 --> 00:42:04,690
- Hard maybe.
- Hard maybe.
1046
00:42:04,691 --> 00:42:06,525
[Jamel]
We will be with you in spirit.
1047
00:42:06,526 --> 00:42:08,152
I like the energy.
1048
00:42:08,153 --> 00:42:10,154
Maybe you don't fully understand
what the rally is.
1049
00:42:10,155 --> 00:42:13,115
[Jamel] They held a town rally
every week in hopes
1050
00:42:13,116 --> 00:42:16,243
that it would bring an NBA team
to their town of 17.
1051
00:42:16,244 --> 00:42:18,287
- Ready, everybody?
- [all] Yeah!
1052
00:42:18,288 --> 00:42:20,039
Jamel, what do you think, "Hi, Mom"?
1053
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:21,665
- Nice to meet you.
- What's up, Mom?
1054
00:42:21,666 --> 00:42:22,834
Are they crazy?
1055
00:42:24,753 --> 00:42:26,463
Better than what I thought
they were doing.
1056
00:42:26,921 --> 00:42:27,963
Kind of like it now.
1057
00:42:27,964 --> 00:42:30,467
Once I figured out what they
were talking about, I kind of liked it.
1058
00:42:31,009 --> 00:42:32,176
They were definitely delusional,
1059
00:42:32,177 --> 00:42:33,803
but aren't we all?
1060
00:42:35,055 --> 00:42:37,306
Why are NBA fans so passionate?
1061
00:42:37,307 --> 00:42:38,640
Childhood.
1062
00:42:38,641 --> 00:42:42,103
You know, when you're growing up,
you need to attach yourself to something,
1063
00:42:42,645 --> 00:42:47,776
and these different teams
help them become one,
1064
00:42:48,318 --> 00:42:52,613
and then they see the big family
of whatever team that is.
1065
00:42:52,614 --> 00:42:54,573
So, I think you-you start
to obsess over that
1066
00:42:54,574 --> 00:42:58,703
because it's like now
it's I-- my family has expanded,
1067
00:42:59,204 --> 00:43:03,583
not just in my community,
but just around the country and the world.
1068
00:43:05,168 --> 00:43:07,420
[Jamel] Earl offered us
a place to stay for the night.
1069
00:43:07,837 --> 00:43:09,673
He also offered to fix our tire.
1070
00:43:10,173 --> 00:43:12,967
With the help of this odd little
white man, we was back up.
1071
00:43:13,426 --> 00:43:14,928
NBA family runs deep.
1072
00:43:16,805 --> 00:43:18,264
[Josiah] Hey, you think
Darius need a cover?
1073
00:43:19,099 --> 00:43:20,600
Nah, I think the camera keeps him warm.
1074
00:43:21,351 --> 00:43:23,769
Cool. Alright, man, well, let's do this.
1075
00:43:23,770 --> 00:43:25,312
We got a long day ahead of us.
1076
00:43:25,313 --> 00:43:28,190
Time for some shuteye.
Good night, brother.
1077

- [Josiah] No, wait, hold up, hold up.
1079
00:43:33,071 --> 00:43:34,155

Alright, look, I know
we're not, like, brothers brothers.
1083
00:43:43,957 --> 00:43:46,001
Can I say "bro"?
Does that still count?
1084
00:43:46,793 --> 00:43:47,836
Let me sleep on it.

Are you afraid of the dark?

I mean, a little bit, but, like...
1089
00:43:58,346 --> 00:44:01,807
since we all in here together,
I'm good with it.

Botto Porter struck again...
1093
00:44:08,273 --> 00:44:11,901
playing into the biggest
and oldest debate, and it worked.
1094
00:44:12,736 --> 00:44:14,445
- Oh, come on. It's only one debate.
- It's too easy.
1095
00:44:14,446 --> 00:44:16,488
It's-It's-- Like, what--
Whoa, classic debate.
1096
00:44:16,489 --> 00:44:19,533
- Who's the best player? Michael or LeBron?
- That's right. Michael or LeBron.
1097
00:44:19,534 --> 00:44:22,161
Michael Jordan, LeBron James,
who's the GOAT?
1098
00:44:22,162 --> 00:44:24,663
[speaker] I'm a 'Bron fan.
You know, somebody's a Jordan fan.
1099
00:44:24,664 --> 00:44:26,081
[Jamel]
He hacked NBA Twitter legends
1100
00:44:26,082 --> 00:44:27,833
and spread incendiary rumors
1101
00:44:27,834 --> 00:44:30,879
designed to turn the community
against one another.
1102
00:44:33,131 --> 00:44:36,885
Botto knew just what to post
to set NBA Twitter ablaze.

[♪ dramatic music playing]
1104
00:44:44,059 --> 00:44:45,810
It was chaos.
1105
00:44:46,478 --> 00:44:47,854
NBA Twitter was on fire.
1106
00:44:50,231 --> 00:44:53,025
[Chris Haynes] Sources have told me
that the basketball Twitter world
1107
00:44:53,026 --> 00:44:54,318
is being attacked.
1108
00:44:54,319 --> 00:44:57,112
I'm hearing news
is being spread that's false,
1109
00:44:57,113 --> 00:44:59,782

and accounts are being hacked
1110

Hey, uh, you mind
grabbing me some pretzels?
1166
00:47:04,532 --> 00:47:06,534
Actually, yeah,
pretzels do sound good, man.
1167
00:47:07,077 --> 00:47:08,661
- I'll be right back.
- Many thanks.
1168
00:47:13,917 --> 00:47:15,085
[Jamel sighs]
1169
00:47:15,627 --> 00:47:17,128
Alright, here we are.
1170
00:47:19,422 --> 00:47:20,799
[sighs]
This is going to end bad.
1171
00:47:24,302 --> 00:47:27,805
- [♪ dramatic music playing]
- [Josiah] Hey.
1172
00:47:27,806 --> 00:47:29,349
- [Jamel] Hey.
- They only had one bag left.
1173
00:47:30,350 --> 00:47:31,975
- We drove to Phoenix.
- [Jamel] We are in...
1174
00:47:31,976 --> 00:47:33,852
- [Josiah] We are in Phoenix.
- [Jamel] This is Phoenix.
1175
00:47:33,853 --> 00:47:35,604
- [Josiah] Yes.
- [Jamel] It looks just like Phoenix.
1176
00:47:35,605 --> 00:47:38,233
We arrived in Phoenix,
and we got ready to go undercover.
1177
00:47:39,526 --> 00:47:41,444
Basketball cameras, check.
1178
00:47:43,571 --> 00:47:44,739
Headband cam...
1179
00:47:47,742 --> 00:47:48,743
check.
1180
00:47:50,161 --> 00:47:52,163
Mustache, check.
1181
00:47:52,706 --> 00:47:53,789
That ain't it, dawg.
1182
00:47:53,790 --> 00:47:54,916
[Jamel]
But also vetoed.
1183
00:47:57,711 --> 00:47:59,128
[Josiah]
You got this, Jel.
1184
00:47:59,129 --> 00:48:00,754
- I got this.
- [Josiah] Remember your training.
1185
00:48:00,755 --> 00:48:02,214
[on radio]
Bro, why you walking like that?
1186
00:48:02,215 --> 00:48:03,632
[Jamel] What do you mean?
This is normal.
1187
00:48:03,633 --> 00:48:05,050
This is how people walk all the time.
1188
00:48:05,051 --> 00:48:06,427
[Josiah]
Alright, if everything's good,
1189
00:48:06,428 --> 00:48:08,221
give me a thumbs up
in your headband cam.
1190
00:48:09,305 --> 00:48:10,807
[Jamel] I don't know.
I'm freaking out, man.
1191
00:48:11,433 --> 00:48:13,684
Oh, I should have learned to trade.
I'm not sure about this.
1192
00:48:13,685 --> 00:48:16,145
[Josiah] Bro, just breathe, alright.
Relax. Count to three.
1193
00:48:16,146 --> 00:48:17,563
[Jamel] [counts rapidly]
One, two, three.
1194
00:48:17,564 --> 00:48:19,232
[Josiah]
Jamel, you were built for this moment.
1195
00:48:19,899 --> 00:48:21,735
[Jamel] Alright, that helped.
Thanks, man.
1196
00:48:22,986 --> 00:48:24,446
Oh, man, they got security.
1197
00:48:25,071 --> 00:48:26,238
[Josiah]
Jamel, remember your training.
1198
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,157
- [security] Hold up, player.
- [Jamel] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
1199
00:48:28,158 --> 00:48:30,452
I'm here for the, uh,
internet basketball meetup.
1200
00:48:31,619 --> 00:48:34,581
What? Oh. No, man.
1201
00:48:35,373 --> 00:48:36,582
Come on.
1202
00:48:36,583 --> 00:48:38,668
[Jamel] I'm the president
of the Jamel Johnson fan club.
1203
00:48:39,044 --> 00:48:40,336
- Who?
- Jamel, you're going off-script.
1204
00:48:40,337 --> 00:48:41,628
[Jamel]
You don't know Jamel Johnson?
1205
00:48:41,629 --> 00:48:43,422
There's no such thing
as the Jamel Johnson fan club.
1206
00:48:43,423 --> 00:48:45,174
- The player?
- [Jamel] The prince of Twitter?
1207
00:48:45,175 --> 00:48:46,759
[Josiah] You're about
to get us caught, dawg.
1208
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:47,926
[Jamel]
The king of Coles.
1209
00:48:47,927 --> 00:48:50,179
I can show you some clips.
Yo, he got some standup at the airport.
1210
00:48:50,180 --> 00:48:51,680
You know what, man?
Nah, just-just go ahead.
1211
00:48:51,681 --> 00:48:52,973
[Jamel]
Oh, you sure?
1212
00:48:52,974 --> 00:48:54,725
- I could email it to you.
- [security] No, we good.
1213
00:48:54,726 --> 00:48:56,643
- We good. We alright.
- [Jamel] Alright, thanks, brother.
1214
00:48:56,644 --> 00:48:57,978
Alright, brother, you're in the door.
1215
00:48:57,979 --> 00:49:00,189
Phase one, complete.
Now it's time for phase two.
1216
00:49:00,190 --> 00:49:01,857
Get your mind right and your game tight.
1217
00:49:01,858 --> 00:49:05,070
[Jamel] [whispering]
Okay, so I'm-I'm seeing a draft pick.
1218
00:49:05,653 --> 00:49:07,822
He hasn't moved.
Uh, he's just standing there.
1219
00:49:08,865 --> 00:49:09,991
Okay, I'm going in.
1220
00:49:11,618 --> 00:49:13,243
[people chattering]
1221
00:49:13,244 --> 00:49:16,039
Baseball twitter?
I don't even like baseball.
1222
00:49:17,165 --> 00:49:19,709
Alright, this is even more serious
than we could have possibly imagined.
1223
00:49:20,210 --> 00:49:21,252
Be careful.
1224
00:49:22,462 --> 00:49:23,796
[Jamel]
What you're about to see is some
1225
00:49:23,797 --> 00:49:28,760
of the most scummiest,
most crummiest, bummiest...
1226
00:49:29,511 --> 00:49:33,555
Man, I ain't never seen
losers losing like this.
1227
00:49:33,556 --> 00:49:34,848
[Jamel gasps]
1228
00:49:34,849 --> 00:49:35,974
My God!
1229
00:49:35,975 --> 00:49:37,685
[indistinct chatter]
1230
00:49:37,686 --> 00:49:40,396
But alas, I had a job to do.
1231
00:49:40,397 --> 00:49:42,648
[member] I want you to write.
Win a real ring.
1232
00:49:42,649 --> 00:49:44,191
Alright, Mela,
you know what time it is.
1233
00:49:44,192 --> 00:49:45,860
Get the basketball cameras in place.
1234
00:49:46,486 --> 00:49:47,654
Come on, Jamel.
1235
00:49:49,989 --> 00:49:51,866
- Lock in.
- [Jamel] Balls for the table.
1236
00:49:52,409 --> 00:49:54,119
How y'all doing, folks?
Basketball?
1237
00:49:54,744 --> 00:49:55,744
But of course.
1238
00:49:55,745 --> 00:49:57,204
[whispering]
Okay, I'm going to go mingle.
1239
00:49:57,205 --> 00:49:58,497
See who we're working with.
1240
00:49:58,498 --> 00:50:01,792
NBA Twitter,
it's a beautiful mix of-of-of minds
1241
00:50:01,793 --> 00:50:04,086
with, you know, sometimes
outlandish opinions.
1242
00:50:04,087 --> 00:50:05,838
I'm telling you, man,
you came to the right place.
1243
00:50:05,839 --> 00:50:08,298
I got the tapes. Steph Curry ain't
a Hall of Famer, that's what I think.
1244
00:50:08,299 --> 00:50:10,175
Alright, Jamel, look,
you're coming up on a hot taker.
1245
00:50:10,176 --> 00:50:11,760
All they do is spout
hot takes for a living.
1246
00:50:11,761 --> 00:50:13,929
The Magic are title contenders.
1247
00:50:13,930 --> 00:50:15,681
[Jamel] The meeting was filled
with representatives
1248
00:50:15,682 --> 00:50:16,974
from every corner of NBA Twitter.
1249
00:50:16,975 --> 00:50:19,185
Good and bad. Mostly bad.
1250
00:50:19,811 --> 00:50:20,936
The freaks were out.
1251
00:50:20,937 --> 00:50:22,896
You, uh, trying to buy
some jersey knockoffs?
1252
00:50:22,897 --> 00:50:23,981
[Amin] The photoshoppers.
1253
00:50:23,982 --> 00:50:25,691
You want to see Kevin Durant
and Kyrie Irving
1254
00:50:25,692 --> 00:50:26,775
in a Laker uniform?
1255
00:50:26,776 --> 00:50:28,068
[Jamel]
You're the guy who does that?
1256
00:50:28,069 --> 00:50:29,820
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I can get you anything you need.
1257
00:50:29,821 --> 00:50:31,864
Put Giannis on the Lakers,
LeBron's on the Bulls.
1258
00:50:31,865 --> 00:50:33,115
Been real popular recently.
1259
00:50:33,116 --> 00:50:35,200
Then you got people that are
just completely off their rocker
1260
00:50:35,201 --> 00:50:36,827
and not ashamed about it, right?
1261
00:50:36,828 --> 00:50:39,413
Like, to be a fan
is to be short for fanatic,
1262
00:50:39,414 --> 00:50:40,707
so sometimes that's what you get.
1263
00:50:41,082 --> 00:50:42,459
You know, uh,
1264
00:50:42,876 --> 00:50:45,044
you know the Raptors mascot, Stripes?
1265
00:50:45,045 --> 00:50:47,629
- [Jamel] Hell yeah.
- I'm his cousin, uh, Reggie.
1266
00:50:47,630 --> 00:50:48,881
[Jamel]
Nice to meet you.
1267
00:50:48,882 --> 00:50:52,301
Mascots, we're people, you know?
1268
00:50:52,302 --> 00:50:54,387
- [Jamel] Well, most of the time.
- Alright, you're good.
1269
00:50:55,472 --> 00:50:58,098
And, of course, somebody just stole
the basketball camera.
1270
00:50:58,099 --> 00:51:00,559
[Jasmine]
Stan Twitter is when you stan
1271
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,936
for, like, one player.
1272
00:51:02,937 --> 00:51:04,355
- [Jamel] Top five of all time.
- All time?
1273
00:51:04,356 --> 00:51:07,608
Michael Jordan, MJ,
M. Jordan, Michael J.
1274
00:51:07,609 --> 00:51:09,026
- Bill Murray.
- [Jamel] Ah. Too slow.
1275
00:51:09,027 --> 00:51:11,570
Hi, my little cuties.
It's me, your girl.
1276
00:51:11,571 --> 00:51:14,073
Alright, Jamel, look, you're coming up
on a content creator.
1277
00:51:14,074 --> 00:51:16,533
Whatever you do, do not let them blow
your cover, dawg.
1278
00:51:16,534 --> 00:51:18,327
Remember your training, Jamel.
1279
00:51:18,328 --> 00:51:19,995
And I am here with...
1280
00:51:19,996 --> 00:51:22,414
- Randy Brondelo.
- Yes!
1281
00:51:22,415 --> 00:51:24,667
And tell me, tell me,
what are you here?
1282
00:51:24,668 --> 00:51:26,210
- What are you repping?
- I am here.
1283
00:51:26,211 --> 00:51:28,295
I'm the president
of the Jamel Johnson Fan Club.
1284
00:51:28,296 --> 00:51:29,797
- Okay.
- My name is Randy Brondelo.
1285
00:51:29,798 --> 00:51:31,340
I'm Sandy Brondelo's
twin brother.
1286
00:51:31,341 --> 00:51:32,925
- No relation.
- Okay.
1287
00:51:32,926 --> 00:51:34,176
Darius, your man's tripping.
1288
00:51:34,177 --> 00:51:36,303
- What is the deal with Jamel?
- Oh, man, Jamel Johnson,
1289
00:51:36,304 --> 00:51:38,138
one of the funniest comedians working.
1290
00:51:38,139 --> 00:51:40,891
You don't have to watch basketball
1291
00:51:40,892 --> 00:51:42,559
to know who's going to win.
1292
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:44,228
Alright, Jamel, you're dealing
with a stat nerd.
1293
00:51:44,229 --> 00:51:46,105
They put the "anal" in "analytics."
1294
00:51:46,106 --> 00:51:48,440
They're nerds.
They don't like basketball.
1295
00:51:48,441 --> 00:51:53,153
X is dribbles per diameter of the field.
1296
00:51:53,154 --> 00:51:54,947
[Jasmine]
I don't care about percentages.
1297
00:51:54,948 --> 00:51:56,782
Like, on any given night,
you can get hot.
1298
00:51:56,783 --> 00:51:58,826
Ask any real ball player.
1299
00:51:58,827 --> 00:52:00,994
[Jamel] Have you touched a ball?
A basketball?
1300
00:52:00,995 --> 00:52:02,830
Have you ever touched one
with your hands?
1301
00:52:02,831 --> 00:52:03,998
Not my hands.
1302
00:52:04,457 --> 00:52:05,708
A writer, a thinker...
1303
00:52:05,709 --> 00:52:06,959
- Okay.
- ...a lover.
1304
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:08,335
Supposed to be asking about J.R.
1305
00:52:08,336 --> 00:52:10,629
[Jamel] Can you tell me where you were
the night the meme was gone?
1306
00:52:10,630 --> 00:52:11,714
What are you asking?
1307
00:52:11,715 --> 00:52:13,966
[Jamel] Can you tell me where you were
when the meme went missing?
1308
00:52:13,967 --> 00:52:17,261
[whispering] I got my theories.
There is a secret society
1309
00:52:17,262 --> 00:52:19,179
within this secret society.
1310
00:52:19,180 --> 00:52:20,598
See those guys over there?
1311
00:52:21,099 --> 00:52:22,099
They won't talk to me.
1312
00:52:22,100 --> 00:52:23,475
You want to talk about missing things?
1313
00:52:23,476 --> 00:52:26,395
You want to talk about missing people?
I have a question for you.
1314
00:52:26,396 --> 00:52:28,981
- Where's Sasquatch?
- [Jamel] Sasquatch?
1315
00:52:28,982 --> 00:52:34,111
The Sonics mascot, Sasquatch,
disappeared 15 years ago.
1316
00:52:34,112 --> 00:52:35,696
What was your name, Randy?
1317
00:52:35,697 --> 00:52:38,073
Yeah, Randy.
Where's Sasquatch?
1318
00:52:38,074 --> 00:52:40,535
One of my fans just tweeted back at me.
1319
00:52:42,537 --> 00:52:45,622
Jamel thinks
the Girl Scouts are overrated.
1320
00:52:45,623 --> 00:52:48,751
- [stammering]
- So, it said that...
1321
00:52:48,752 --> 00:52:51,004
- [Jamel] I'm going to leave.
- Excuse me. Wait, hold up, Randy!
1322
00:52:51,629 --> 00:52:53,631
[Jamel] [whispering] For the record,
I love the Girl Scouts.
1323
00:52:55,342 --> 00:52:56,509
My fault, dawg.
1324
00:52:57,552 --> 00:52:58,803
It's getting crazy in here.
1325
00:52:59,637 --> 00:53:02,265
I might have got some intel,
but honestly, dawg,
1326
00:53:03,058 --> 00:53:04,684
people in here are kind of sus.
1327
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,603
I put one basketball camera in place,
1328
00:53:07,604 --> 00:53:09,229
but before I could place
the second ball...
1329
00:53:09,230 --> 00:53:11,608
- [gong rings]
- ...I was interrupted.
1330
00:53:14,944 --> 00:53:17,655
[Josiah] [on radio] Alright, Jamel,
just play it cool. Be cool.
1331
00:53:17,989 --> 00:53:18,989
[Jamel]
I'm being very normal.
1332
00:53:18,990 --> 00:53:20,532
What's happening?
What's happening, Satchel?
1333
00:53:20,533 --> 00:53:22,034
Mr., Mr., Mr. Bolo.
1334
00:53:22,035 --> 00:53:25,454
Sit down and make yourself one
with the nerds.
1335
00:53:25,455 --> 00:53:26,955
- [Jamel] Hey, hey.
- [Josiah] Be a squeenie.
1336
00:53:26,956 --> 00:53:28,457
[Jamel] How are y'all?
How are y'all doing?
1337
00:53:28,458 --> 00:53:29,708
Get the basketball
cameras in place.
1338
00:53:29,709 --> 00:53:31,670
[people chattering]
1339
00:53:35,799 --> 00:53:38,133
[Jamel]
Centerpiece complete, you know?
1340
00:53:38,134 --> 00:53:41,221
[people chattering]
1341
00:53:41,763 --> 00:53:42,889
[person shouts]
1342
00:53:43,807 --> 00:53:46,893
Huh? Is that the goat?
Is that who--
1343
00:53:48,853 --> 00:53:50,897
He's a goat, not like a little kid?
1344
00:53:51,606 --> 00:53:54,275
[leader]
Today's meeting has officially begun.
1345
00:53:55,902 --> 00:53:56,903
Now...
1346
00:54:00,907 --> 00:54:01,949
who's that guy?
1347
00:54:01,950 --> 00:54:04,869
[♪ tense music playing]
1348
00:54:05,161 --> 00:54:06,370
Is that Jamel Johnson?
1349
00:54:06,371 --> 00:54:09,331
[Jamel]
Yes, it is. Thank you, finally.
1350
00:54:09,332 --> 00:54:10,416
Yeah, it's me.
1351
00:54:10,417 --> 00:54:13,252
Alright, D, he's been compromised.
Gotta go in.
1352
00:54:13,253 --> 00:54:15,421
[leader]
Jamel, you have...
1353
00:54:15,422 --> 00:54:17,172
[Jamel] My name is Randy
on Uber, guys. Don't trip.
1354
00:54:17,173 --> 00:54:19,466
- [leader] ...17 followers...
- [people laughing]
1355
00:54:19,467 --> 00:54:23,054
[leader]
...with four million tweets.
1356
00:54:24,681 --> 00:54:25,973
[member]
I trusted you, man.
1357
00:54:25,974 --> 00:54:28,184
[Jamel] I never once told you
how many followers I had.
1358
00:54:28,977 --> 00:54:32,564
I'm sorry, Jamel, but I'm going
to have to ask you to leave.
1359
00:54:34,774 --> 00:54:38,445
We could either do this the easy way...
1360
00:54:39,988 --> 00:54:42,906
or we could do this the Artest way.
1361
00:54:42,907 --> 00:54:45,577
[people chattering]
1362
00:54:53,543 --> 00:54:55,377
[leader]
King Josiah.
1363
00:54:55,378 --> 00:54:56,920
[Josiah]
Simmer down. Simmer down.
1364
00:54:56,921 --> 00:54:59,466
[leader]
Or should I say "former king"...
1365
00:55:00,300 --> 00:55:01,885
here to challenge me for the throne.
1366
00:55:02,510 --> 00:55:04,971
Keep a cool booty, my new boy.
I don't want no smoke.
1367
00:55:05,347 --> 00:55:07,182
I'm just trying to find J.R. squints.
1368
00:55:08,933 --> 00:55:11,227
May I read you today's agenda
out loud, please?
1369
00:55:12,103 --> 00:55:14,230
- So that you may hear.
- [Josiah] If you know how to read, cool.
1370
00:55:15,231 --> 00:55:18,734
[leader]
Today's agenda is as follows.
1371
00:55:18,735 --> 00:55:20,278
Gotta lose one prompt.
1372
00:55:21,112 --> 00:55:23,156
Clown steps, new shoes.
1373
00:55:23,990 --> 00:55:27,285
Speculate on what team
James Harden will go to next.
1374
00:55:27,952 --> 00:55:30,121
Cite examples on Mamba mentality.
1375
00:55:30,622 --> 00:55:33,999
A quick 10 on the real goat,
Austin Reaves.
1376
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,251
- [Josiah] That boy is good.
- [leader] And finally, the main topic,
1377
00:55:36,252 --> 00:55:37,629
and the most important...
1378
00:55:39,381 --> 00:55:41,465
resume our investigation
1379
00:55:41,466 --> 00:55:45,970
on whom is terrorizing NBA Twitter.
1380
00:55:46,304 --> 00:55:47,472
[Jamel]
Damn, he said "whom."
1381
00:55:49,224 --> 00:55:50,391
That's really good grammar.
1382
00:55:50,392 --> 00:55:53,770
[leader]
So, uh, with all due respect...
1383
00:55:55,105 --> 00:55:56,980
if you don't have any leads
that are going to help us
1384
00:55:56,981 --> 00:55:59,401
with our investigation,
would you mind, uh,
1385
00:56:00,318 --> 00:56:01,568
leaving and letting us resume?
1386
00:56:01,569 --> 00:56:04,113
'Cause we have a lot to get through.
1387
00:56:04,114 --> 00:56:06,574
And my mom's coming
to pick me up at 6:00.
1388
00:56:06,950 --> 00:56:08,242
[Josiah]
Somebody here knows something.
1389
00:56:08,243 --> 00:56:10,452
[Jamel] Darius, get tight
on the Goat's face right here.
1390
00:56:10,453 --> 00:56:14,623
You know, I could ask you
the same thing, Josiah.
1391
00:56:14,624 --> 00:56:18,502
I mean, weren't you retired a week
before the meme went missing?
1392
00:56:18,503 --> 00:56:20,630
I mean, off the grid.
1393
00:56:22,757 --> 00:56:23,842
Where were you?
1394
00:56:24,551 --> 00:56:26,261
[Jamel]
This was going south fast.
1395
00:56:27,137 --> 00:56:28,596
They were turning on Josiah.
1396
00:56:30,724 --> 00:56:32,058
We were in trouble.
1397
00:56:33,268 --> 00:56:34,477
And I knew what I had to do.
1398
00:56:38,189 --> 00:56:39,356
Time for me to come clean.
1399
00:56:39,357 --> 00:56:42,444
[people shouting]
1400
00:56:42,902 --> 00:56:45,238
Silence! Silence!
1401
00:56:46,781 --> 00:56:48,283
It wasn't Josiah, alright?
1402
00:56:48,742 --> 00:56:50,367
[influencer]
Why the hell should we listen to you?
1403
00:56:50,368 --> 00:56:52,494
- You're a nobody.
- Loser.
1404
00:56:52,495 --> 00:56:54,163
[Josiah] Yo, yo, hold up,
hold up, hold up, man.
1405
00:56:54,164 --> 00:56:56,623
I'm not just going to let y'all slander
my boy like that.
1406
00:56:56,624 --> 00:56:58,083
Jamel is somebody.
1407
00:56:58,084 --> 00:56:59,793
He's the most loyal dude I know.
1408
00:56:59,794 --> 00:57:01,587
He's the prince of the NBA Twitter,
1409
00:57:01,588 --> 00:57:05,382
but most importantly,
he's my brother, Brothers Johnson.
1410
00:57:05,383 --> 00:57:08,511
- [people chattering]
- You said it?
1411
00:57:09,846 --> 00:57:11,181
[Josiah]
Now what were you going to say?
1412
00:57:12,432 --> 00:57:13,475
[sighs]
1413
00:57:16,353 --> 00:57:17,895
- It was me, man.
- [secret society member] What?
1414
00:57:17,896 --> 00:57:19,438
[Jamel]
I'm sorry, I did it.
1415
00:57:19,439 --> 00:57:21,023
I know, son.
I know.
1416
00:57:21,024 --> 00:57:23,025
I'm-I'm sorry.
It wasn't even...
1417
00:57:23,026 --> 00:57:25,444
It wasn't supposed
to go down like this.
1418
00:57:25,445 --> 00:57:27,905
I knew your last tweet meant
a lot to you,
1419
00:57:27,906 --> 00:57:31,116
and I took the meme 'cause
I wanted you to come back
1420
00:57:31,117 --> 00:57:34,745
and because you was
talking crazy, dawg, r-retiring.
1421
00:57:34,746 --> 00:57:37,373
You trying to win NAACP awards.
I just...
1422
00:57:37,374 --> 00:57:38,708
You the king of Twitter, man.
1423
00:57:39,334 --> 00:57:40,584
That's your throne, dawg.
1424
00:57:40,585 --> 00:57:41,710
Now you got a little kid
1425
00:57:41,711 --> 00:57:44,964
with a, uh, LL Cool J hat on
up there, alright?
1426
00:57:45,465 --> 00:57:47,217
I just wanted you to come back,
1427
00:57:47,717 --> 00:57:50,387
and then Botto Porter
went rogue on me, dawg.
1428
00:57:50,804 --> 00:57:53,598
I paid him to take the meme.
I haven't even seen it.
1429
00:57:53,973 --> 00:57:55,975
It never even came to my emails, bro.
1430
00:57:56,476 --> 00:57:58,353
He went rogue.
He went left.
1431
00:57:58,812 --> 00:58:00,688
He started doing stuff on his own.
1432
00:58:00,689 --> 00:58:03,399
I ain't have nothing to do
with none of that other stuff, man.
1433
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,443
- I'm sorry, Josiah.
- [people clamoring]
1434

Silence, silence.
1435
00:58:09,322 --> 00:58:11,448
I can't believe you played me
like this, Jamel.
1436
00:58:11,449 --> 00:58:12,742
You broke my heart, man.
1437
00:58:13,493 --> 00:58:15,662
Yo, Darius, cut the camera, dawg.
Let's go.
1438
00:58:17,205 --> 00:58:18,456
Darius, don't cut, man.
1439
00:58:19,582 --> 00:58:21,041
- Don't cut, man.
- [people clamoring]
1440
00:58:21,042 --> 00:58:23,294
You know we need this, man.
You better not cut, man.
1441
00:58:23,878 --> 00:58:24,963
Don't do it, man!
I swear--
1442
00:58:26,589 --> 00:58:29,592
[♪ dramatic music playing]
1443
00:58:32,721 --> 00:58:34,389
[Botto Porter Jr.]
Now that I have your attention,
1444
00:58:34,848 --> 00:58:39,351
I hereby demand that the NBA move
the Sacramento Kings
1445
00:58:39,352 --> 00:58:40,645
out of Sacramento.
1446
00:58:41,813 --> 00:58:43,939
No state needs four teams,
1447
00:58:43,940 --> 00:58:47,235
and frankly, they're too good
for Sacramento.
1448
00:58:48,028 --> 00:58:49,653
Once I know you're serious,
1449
00:58:49,654 --> 00:58:51,364
I'll tell you where to send them.
1450
00:58:51,906 --> 00:58:53,323
Botto out.
1451
00:58:53,324 --> 00:58:56,869
In a disturbing turn of events,
a video has surfaced
1452
00:58:56,870 --> 00:58:59,538
of a man in a goat mask demanding
1453
00:58:59,539 --> 00:59:02,166
that Adam Silver move
the Sacramento Kings
1454
00:59:02,167 --> 00:59:04,752
outside of Sacramento
in exchange for the return
1455
00:59:04,753 --> 00:59:06,212
of the J.R. squints meme.
1456
00:59:10,300 --> 00:59:14,970
Okay, okay,
things in Phoenix went... bad.
1457
00:59:14,971 --> 00:59:16,181
Straight up horrible.
1458
00:59:16,598 --> 00:59:20,017
Yes, I hired Botto Porter
to steal J.R. squints,
1459
00:59:20,018 --> 00:59:23,855
but the rest was on him,
and he's still out there somewhere.
1460
00:59:27,484 --> 00:59:30,737
I was so close
to solving this case,
1461
00:59:31,321 --> 00:59:32,781
but I couldn't focus.
1462
00:59:34,157 --> 00:59:36,701
It had been a rough week since Phoenix.
1463
00:59:37,202 --> 00:59:38,869
I, uh...
Well, I got memed.
1464
00:59:38,870 --> 00:59:41,038
I'm sorry, Josiah.
1465
00:59:41,039 --> 00:59:42,331
Oh, I got memed.
1466
00:59:42,332 --> 00:59:43,916
I'm sorry, Josiah.
1467
00:59:43,917 --> 00:59:45,918
Oh, they memed me so bad, y'all.
1468
00:59:45,919 --> 00:59:48,212
I'm sorry, Josiah.
1469
00:59:48,213 --> 00:59:50,255
It means something.
1470
00:59:50,256 --> 00:59:51,882
It's all in front of me.
It's all here.
1471
00:59:51,883 --> 00:59:52,966
Josiah.
1472
00:59:52,967 --> 00:59:55,803
If we find Botto Porter, I'll be free.
1473
00:59:55,804 --> 00:59:57,889
I'm sorry, Josiah.
1474
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:01,892
The memes haunted me.
1475
01:00:01,893 --> 01:00:04,019
- [gasps]
- [screams]
1476
01:00:04,020 --> 01:00:06,605
I'm sorry, Josiah.
1477
01:00:06,606 --> 01:00:09,359
[♪ upbeat music playing]
1478
01:00:16,199 --> 01:00:18,283
I finally realized
there was someone out there
1479
01:00:18,284 --> 01:00:19,994
who knew what I was going through.
1480
01:00:22,288 --> 01:00:24,332
So, we shot one more interview.
1481
01:00:35,802 --> 01:00:37,553
I was hitting the driver
pretty good today,
1482
01:00:37,554 --> 01:00:40,598
but my short irons was
really messing me up.
1483
01:00:42,434 --> 01:00:43,643
[groans]
1484
01:00:45,478 --> 01:00:48,064
Uh, front nine were terrible.
Back nine was pretty good.
1485
01:00:49,024 --> 01:00:50,691
[Jamel] So, obviously, you've heard
1486
01:00:50,692 --> 01:00:52,902
about your infamous
squinting meme going missing.
1487
01:00:53,278 --> 01:00:54,737
Meme, what meme?
What are you talking about?
1488
01:00:54,738 --> 01:00:56,071
[Jamel]
I got memed too,
1489
01:00:56,072 --> 01:00:57,781
and the internet's making fun of me
1490
01:00:57,782 --> 01:01:00,117
and I was wondering if you had any advice
1491
01:01:00,118 --> 01:01:01,410
on how to deal with all that.
1492
01:01:01,411 --> 01:01:02,662
Is that what this is about?
1493
01:01:03,413 --> 01:01:05,205
I thought, I thought
I was talking about golf.
1494
01:01:05,206 --> 01:01:08,208
[Jamel] J.R., my life is over.
Stop talking about golf.
1495
01:01:08,209 --> 01:01:10,336
Alright, man, you want to talk
about this meme shit,
1496
01:01:10,337 --> 01:01:11,628
I got places to be.
1497
01:01:11,629 --> 01:01:13,630
Real quick, let's get it over with.
Come on.
1498
01:01:13,631 --> 01:01:15,799
The reason I chose the J.R. squints meme,
1499
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,135
I think when you look
at the scope of NBA Twitter,
1500
01:01:18,136 --> 01:01:20,137
all the amazing content,
the amazing memes,
1501
01:01:20,138 --> 01:01:22,890
all the things that have arisen
out of this community,
1502
01:01:22,891 --> 01:01:24,850
J.R. squints really embodies
1503
01:01:24,851 --> 01:01:27,061
what this community is all about, right?
1504
01:01:27,062 --> 01:01:29,813
J.R., excellent basketball player, legend,
1505
01:01:29,814 --> 01:01:33,442
you know, world champion,
very soft-spoken, very intelligent,
1506
01:01:33,443 --> 01:01:36,612
and what that meme essentially conveys
is that he's not intelligent.
1507
01:01:36,613 --> 01:01:39,114
From the outside looking in,
you create this narrative
1508
01:01:39,115 --> 01:01:40,824
or this perspective of J.R.,
1509
01:01:40,825 --> 01:01:43,619
and that-that cou-couldn't be
any further from the truth.
1510
01:01:43,620 --> 01:01:46,288
Well, I've been to school,
I'm a full-time student now,
1511
01:01:46,289 --> 01:01:48,540
a full-time dad with four kids,
1512
01:01:48,541 --> 01:01:52,795
so, uh, I don't really have time
to k-keep up with memes.
1513
01:01:52,796 --> 01:01:55,506
Sometimes it's hard because
my mentions go crazy,
1514
01:01:55,507 --> 01:01:57,675
but I just stay off of it
for a couple days.
1515
01:01:57,676 --> 01:01:59,426
Every day, it's something different,
1516
01:01:59,427 --> 01:02:02,262
whether it be me or somebody else.
1517
01:02:02,263 --> 01:02:06,058
People just make you the butt
of the joke and run with it.
1518
01:02:06,059 --> 01:02:07,559
I like-- It-It was kind of weird
1519
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,062
because it was, like,
funny at the same time,
1520
01:02:10,063 --> 01:02:11,980
but it also was just like,
"Damn, like,
1521
01:02:11,981 --> 01:02:13,816
I'm the butt of the joke again."
1522
01:02:13,817 --> 01:02:17,027
It doesn't even have to be
something accurate or true.
1523
01:02:17,028 --> 01:02:18,654
Prime example, "Henny God."
1524
01:02:18,655 --> 01:02:21,156
I don't drink Hennessy.
I'm not a Henny drinker.
1525
01:02:21,157 --> 01:02:24,410
So, when people continuously
call me that from a meme
1526
01:02:24,411 --> 01:02:26,662
when I'm walking around
with-with my kids
1527
01:02:26,663 --> 01:02:28,372
and somebody yells,
"Oh, Henny God,"
1528
01:02:28,373 --> 01:02:29,748
it's like, "Daddy, why did they..."
1529
01:02:29,749 --> 01:02:31,542
Like, I gotta explain that.
1530
01:02:31,543 --> 01:02:33,043
I have to have that conversation now
1531
01:02:33,044 --> 01:02:35,963
because of some dumb shit
somebody else did.
1532
01:02:35,964 --> 01:02:37,214
I don't like that.
1533
01:02:37,215 --> 01:02:39,299
[Josiah] You know, I'm-I'm just
as guilty as everybody else.
1534
01:02:39,300 --> 01:02:40,843
I used to use
that meme all the time.
1535
01:02:40,844 --> 01:02:43,012
And then you start to really realize
how these memes
1536
01:02:43,013 --> 01:02:44,805
kind of will follow people
into their real world
1537
01:02:44,806 --> 01:02:46,015
and their real lives
1538
01:02:46,016 --> 01:02:48,017
and a stigma that gets created around it.
1539
01:02:48,018 --> 01:02:50,227
Alright, man, tee time in 15 minutes.
1540
01:02:50,228 --> 01:02:52,980
I didn't do this shit.
I hope you find out who did.
1541
01:02:52,981 --> 01:02:54,274
But I see y'all later.
1542
01:02:56,151 --> 01:02:58,153
[Jamel] Talking with J.R.
helped clear my head.
1543
01:02:58,820 --> 01:03:00,405
I was finally able to focus.
1544
01:03:01,072 --> 01:03:03,700
I was starting to think J.R. Squints
was better off lost.
1545
01:03:04,367 --> 01:03:05,868
And it was time for me to hang all this up
1546
01:03:05,869 --> 01:03:07,829
and start refereeing little league games.
1547
01:03:08,955 --> 01:03:11,623
But just then, just like that,
1548
01:03:11,624 --> 01:03:13,751
hit me like Kermit Washington.
1549
01:03:13,752 --> 01:03:15,295
I knew who Botto Porter was.
1550
01:03:15,879 --> 01:03:17,756
I knew who Botto Porter was.
1551
01:03:18,381 --> 01:03:20,383
The answer was in the film all along.
1552
01:03:20,884 --> 01:03:22,092
So, I invited Josiah over
1553
01:03:22,093 --> 01:03:23,427
- to watch a cut...
- [knocking on door]
1554
01:03:23,428 --> 01:03:26,305
...to see if the Brothers Johnson
could ride one last time.
1555
01:03:26,306 --> 01:03:27,515
Hey, come on in, man.
1556
01:03:28,058 --> 01:03:31,393
Good to see you brother, man.
It's been a few minutes.
1557
01:03:31,394 --> 01:03:34,230
Thank you for stopping by.
It really means a lot.
1558
01:03:34,731 --> 01:03:38,150
Look, bro, only reason I'm here is
'cause you say you know who did it.
1559
01:03:38,151 --> 01:03:39,943
- Think I do.
- I'm telling you right now.
1560
01:03:39,944 --> 01:03:41,237
It better be O.J.
1561
01:03:42,906 --> 01:03:45,115
- O.J.?
- Mayo.
1562
01:03:45,116 --> 01:03:47,659
Okay, I mean, that's possible.
He does have dual citizenship.
1563
01:03:47,660 --> 01:03:50,662
Look, thanks for coming again.
I'm excited to show you this.
1564
01:03:50,663 --> 01:03:53,666
I think all the answers
you're looking for are inside of this.
1565
01:03:53,667 --> 01:03:54,750
Check this out, yeah.
1566
01:03:54,751 --> 01:03:56,627
[♪ upbeat music playing on video]
1567
01:03:56,628 --> 01:04:00,255
I'm going to be announcing
my retirement from NBA Twitter.
1568
01:04:00,256 --> 01:04:03,300
[Jamel] [in video] I just hired a hacker
named Botto Porter Jr.
1569
01:04:03,301 --> 01:04:05,219
He's going to take the J.R. squints meme.
1570
01:04:05,220 --> 01:04:07,930
This is going to make Josiah so upset,
1571
01:04:07,931 --> 01:04:10,766
he's going to have no choice
but to go find it with me.
1572
01:04:10,767 --> 01:04:13,268
We'll meet members
of the NBA Twitter community.
1573
01:04:13,269 --> 01:04:15,187
He'll see how much he's loved and missed,
1574
01:04:15,188 --> 01:04:17,022
have no choice but to come back.
1575
01:04:17,023 --> 01:04:19,359
The plan is flawless.
Let's begin.
1576
01:04:21,027 --> 01:04:22,903
[Josiah] Hold on, man.
Why is this camera so shaky?
1577
01:04:22,904 --> 01:04:26,740
I-- Look, I asked Darius
to shoot in a little grittier way.
1578
01:04:26,741 --> 01:04:29,577
This is documentary.
We're documentarians.
1579
01:04:32,580 --> 01:04:34,373
[Josiah] Wait, is this you
breaking into my house?
1580
01:04:34,374 --> 01:04:35,958
I wouldn't call it breaking in.
1581
01:04:35,959 --> 01:04:38,962
I would call it beginning a movie.
1582
01:04:40,463 --> 01:04:44,133
Yo, he said yes. I cannot believe
this dude said yes.
1583
01:04:44,134 --> 01:04:45,843
We are making this movie.
1584
01:04:45,844 --> 01:04:48,095
Okay, we got a suspect now.
1585
01:04:48,096 --> 01:04:50,556
It's Mero.
He's coming over here soon.
1586
01:04:50,557 --> 01:04:52,684
Josiah just left to get charcuterie.
1587
01:04:53,518 --> 01:04:55,060
Seems like he's really into this, man.
1588
01:04:55,061 --> 01:04:56,478
- We've been bonding.
- [knocking on door]
1589
01:04:56,479 --> 01:04:57,813
Oh, whoa, one-one second.
1590
01:04:57,814 --> 01:05:00,357
Working with Josiah Johnson,
I'll-I'll be honest,
1591
01:05:00,358 --> 01:05:01,942
when I tapped him for this project,
1592
01:05:01,943 --> 01:05:05,738
I, I saw a childlike innocence
that I needed to bring
1593
01:05:05,739 --> 01:05:07,281
onto screen.
1594
01:05:07,282 --> 01:05:10,784
A lot of times, I would be
off camera rattling keys.
1595
01:05:10,785 --> 01:05:12,327
This upset him greatly,
1596
01:05:12,328 --> 01:05:15,581
but it brought out some fantastic work.
1597
01:05:15,582 --> 01:05:19,126
Some of our finest scenes ended with him
1598
01:05:19,127 --> 01:05:21,254
wanting to hit me in the face
like Draymond Green.
1599
01:05:36,394 --> 01:05:38,937
Okay, I'll change it.
I know. I know.
1600
01:05:38,938 --> 01:05:41,399
I'll change--
I can feel you looking at me.
1601
01:05:43,068 --> 01:05:44,986
I, I got you.
1602
01:05:48,865 --> 01:05:50,699
You know, I don't think
people realize how hard it is
1603
01:05:50,700 --> 01:05:54,871
to carry a secret around
with you, the burden.
1604
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,167
To stand next to your brother...
1605
01:06:00,377 --> 01:06:02,586
and lie directly to their face
1606
01:06:02,587 --> 01:06:04,422
for days and weeks on end.
1607
01:06:07,801 --> 01:06:09,386
It's rough, it's hurtful...
1608
01:06:10,637 --> 01:06:12,012
it's costly.
1609
01:06:12,013 --> 01:06:13,347
Good night, brother.
1610
01:06:13,348 --> 01:06:15,099
- [claps hands]
- Okay. Alright.
1611
01:06:15,100 --> 01:06:18,352
We're here in Dukes,
the middle of nowhere.
1612
01:06:18,353 --> 01:06:21,146
Things are going not great.
1613
01:06:21,147 --> 01:06:22,564
I would say out of hand.
1614
01:06:22,565 --> 01:06:26,861
Uh, Botto Porter took 10 more memes.
We got a flat tire.
1615
01:06:27,404 --> 01:06:28,779
I don't know what's going to happen next.
1616
01:06:28,780 --> 01:06:30,572
- [Josiah claps hands]
- Huh?
1617
01:06:30,573 --> 01:06:32,324
- [Josiah] Jamel, what are you doing?
- [Jamel] Huh?
1618
01:06:32,325 --> 01:06:33,784
[Josiah]
Why are you talking to yourself?
1619
01:06:33,785 --> 01:06:35,077
[Jamel]
I was, I was-- I sleep talk.
1620
01:06:35,078 --> 01:06:36,745
[Jamel] [sighs]
This is going to end bad,
1621
01:06:36,746 --> 01:06:38,081
worse than I imagined.
1622
01:06:39,541 --> 01:06:40,917
I'm officially the villain.
1623
01:06:43,086 --> 01:06:44,336
I might get locked up for this.
1624
01:06:44,337 --> 01:06:46,797
They might throw me in the Hague, dawg,
but it's fine.
1625
01:06:46,798 --> 01:06:49,174
If I gotta be the villain, that's fine.
1626
01:06:49,175 --> 01:06:52,429
I love villains. Scar.
1627
01:06:53,096 --> 01:06:55,305
I'm going to tell him soon, I swear.
1628
01:06:55,306 --> 01:06:57,516
- [on video] We are in...
- [Josiah] [on video] We are in Phoenix.
1629
01:06:57,517 --> 01:06:59,185
Little warm in here.
You know what? Actually...
1630
01:06:59,602 --> 01:07:01,729
I've been in here for, like,
a day straight. I'm pretty hungry.
1631
01:07:01,730 --> 01:07:03,480
I'm going to go get some food.
You want something?
1632
01:07:03,481 --> 01:07:04,565
- Nah, I'm good.
- You sure?
1633
01:07:04,566 --> 01:07:06,734
I'm going to go get some food.
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
1634
01:07:06,735 --> 01:07:07,860
Then I'm going to go come back,
1635
01:07:07,861 --> 01:07:09,737
but then I might go
to the bathroom again before that.
1636
01:07:09,738 --> 01:07:11,697
[stammers] You just--
Okay, I got it.
1637
01:07:11,698 --> 01:07:13,992
Alright. Go ahead and watch.
1638
01:07:18,455 --> 01:07:21,499
I'm sorry, Josiah.
1639
01:07:21,875 --> 01:07:23,918
I do feel an amount of shame
1640
01:07:25,045 --> 01:07:29,924
for some of the actions
that I took to make this project.
1641
01:07:31,551 --> 01:07:34,178
When I hired Botto Porter
to take the meme,
1642
01:07:34,179 --> 01:07:38,557
my goal was just to have Josiah
return to his rightful place,
1643
01:07:38,558 --> 01:07:42,269
to keep the internet ecosystem
moving properly.
1644
01:07:42,270 --> 01:07:47,734
And when Botto went rogue,
I-I felt I had to-to keep my secret,
1645
01:07:48,568 --> 01:07:50,528
and it had to be done
for the greater good.
1646
01:07:51,571 --> 01:07:53,198
Well, I did it for you.
1647
01:07:54,115 --> 01:07:58,036
NBA Twitter without Josiah Johnson is
1648
01:07:58,453 --> 01:07:59,913
a beast with no nation.
1649
01:08:00,622 --> 01:08:02,873
And now, there's a madman out there
1650
01:08:02,874 --> 01:08:05,459
trying to move the Kings
to who knows where.
1651
01:08:05,460 --> 01:08:06,920
They just got the beam.
1652
01:08:07,837 --> 01:08:08,880
I thought this would work.
1653
01:08:09,506 --> 01:08:10,756
I'm sorry.
1654
01:08:10,757 --> 01:08:12,092
Alright. I think that's a cut.
1655
01:08:16,096 --> 01:08:17,389
Yeah, we're going to cut.
1656
01:08:24,020 --> 01:08:26,105
Look, I know rule one was no lactose.
1657
01:08:26,106 --> 01:08:28,357
I made 'em take the cheese off
if you want some.
1658
01:08:28,358 --> 01:08:30,610
It's actually just a pile
of sauce in this box.
1659
01:08:31,778 --> 01:08:33,195
So, I checked it out,
1660
01:08:33,196 --> 01:08:34,447
and I'm going to be real with you.
1661
01:08:35,031 --> 01:08:36,616
I still don't like that you did it,
1662
01:08:37,242 --> 01:08:40,035
but I get why you did it and I respect it.
1663
01:08:40,036 --> 01:08:42,622
- Damn, you mean that?
- You finally get that dap you wanted.
1664
01:08:45,250 --> 01:08:47,251
Hey, man, that means a lot, dawg.
1665
01:08:47,252 --> 01:08:49,086
I really appreciate you
coming with me on this.
1666
01:08:49,087 --> 01:08:51,631
I know, I-I-I [bleep] up,
but we, uh, we here now.
1667
01:08:52,090 --> 01:08:54,049
Uh, y-y-you figure out who did it yet?
1668
01:08:54,050 --> 01:08:55,300
Think I did.
1669
01:08:55,301 --> 01:08:57,637
Really, Jamel, it all comes down
to motive, right?
1670
01:08:58,763 --> 01:09:01,098
For Botto Porter, it was never
about the J.R. squints
1671
01:09:01,099 --> 01:09:02,517
or any meme for that matter.
1672
01:09:03,059 --> 01:09:05,602
It was about one thing.
The Kings.
1673
01:09:05,603 --> 01:09:07,312
Mm. Sinister.
1674
01:09:07,313 --> 01:09:10,191
So, now the real question is
move the Kings to where?
1675
01:09:11,901 --> 01:09:14,945
And I know a place that needs a team.
1676
01:09:14,946 --> 01:09:16,031
[Jamel]
Mm.
1677
01:09:18,199 --> 01:09:20,659
Yo, Darius, watch this.
I'm about to do my hood voice.
1678
01:09:20,660 --> 01:09:22,829
Somebody finna get exposed.
1679
01:09:24,831 --> 01:09:26,165
[Josiah]
Open up the door, hammy!
1680
01:09:26,166 --> 01:09:27,792
Yeah, yeah, get more brolic.
1681
01:09:28,335 --> 01:09:29,710
I'm going to do the white one now.
1682
01:09:29,711 --> 01:09:31,379
[knuckles rapping]
1683
01:09:31,921 --> 01:09:35,467
- Newsflash, bucko. Open up.
- Hiii.
1684
01:09:36,843 --> 01:09:37,885
Sasquatch.
1685
01:09:37,886 --> 01:09:39,678
[Sasquatch] Good day, gentlemen.
May I...
1686
01:09:39,679 --> 01:09:42,473
[Jamel] Reggie the Raptor was right.
Are you serious?
1687
01:09:42,474 --> 01:09:44,433
[Josiah] Look, bro,
we know you Botto Porter Jr.
1688
01:09:44,434 --> 01:09:45,893
- [Jamel] Huh.
- [Josiah] Don't play around.
1689
01:09:45,894 --> 01:09:48,145
- [Jamel] Yeah.
- Uh, no, I'm not familiar with that name.
1690
01:09:48,146 --> 01:09:49,271
[Jamel]
Oh, you're not familiar?
1691
01:09:49,272 --> 01:09:50,731
- Expose this fool.
- Oh, he's not familiar?
1692
01:09:50,732 --> 01:09:52,107
- Expose this fool.
- Oh, you don't know?
1693
01:09:52,108 --> 01:09:53,484
[both shouting]
1694
01:09:53,485 --> 01:09:54,861
Scooby-Doo style!
1695
01:09:55,987 --> 01:09:57,654
- Earl?
- Yeah, yeah.
1696
01:09:57,655 --> 01:09:58,781
Yes, I'm sorry.
1697
01:09:58,782 --> 01:10:00,115
I mean, let me explain.
1698
01:10:00,116 --> 01:10:02,034
Dawg, we danced together.
Is he, is he serious right now?
1699
01:10:02,035 --> 01:10:03,786
- We danced. We greeted. We greeted.
- Is this real?
1700
01:10:03,787 --> 01:10:05,245
First of all, can I have my mask back?
1701
01:10:05,246 --> 01:10:06,455
- Yes, take it.
- Thank you.
1702
01:10:06,456 --> 01:10:08,540
I'll explain everything.
Look, look, look, look, look, look.
1703
01:10:08,541 --> 01:10:10,209
I'll explain everything.
Let's just take a step.
1704
01:10:10,210 --> 01:10:11,293
We gon' take a step
1705
01:10:11,294 --> 01:10:12,836
to make sure you ain't
got no weapons, bro.
1706
01:10:12,837 --> 01:10:14,755
- We know how you get down.
- [Jamel] That was real wise.
1707
01:10:14,756 --> 01:10:17,049
I'm a pacifist.
But, look, I can explain everything.
1708
01:10:17,050 --> 01:10:18,801
The people of Dukes,
we figured, you know,
1709
01:10:18,802 --> 01:10:20,594
hey, you guys were touched
and charmed by the people
1710
01:10:20,595 --> 01:10:22,179
of-of-of the Dukes, of Dukes.
1711
01:10:22,180 --> 01:10:23,847
The Kings will come
and they will see the Dukes
1712
01:10:23,848 --> 01:10:25,391
and decide to be our team,
1713
01:10:25,392 --> 01:10:26,850
and then,
we'll be called the Sasquatches.
1714
01:10:26,851 --> 01:10:28,560
Y'all got 17 people.
1715
01:10:28,561 --> 01:10:31,314
I asked you to take one meme.
1716
01:10:32,023 --> 01:10:33,982
You try to take a team?
1717
01:10:33,983 --> 01:10:36,986
Yeah, well, you told me to do it.
1718
01:10:38,321 --> 01:10:40,197
[Jamel] No, I didn't.
I told you to take one.
1719
01:10:40,198 --> 01:10:41,366
No, no, not you.
1720
01:10:42,534 --> 01:10:44,159
You. You told me to do it.
1721
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:45,745
[both stammering]
1722
01:10:46,287 --> 01:10:47,913
- Darius?
- [Earl Moore] Darius did it.
1723
01:10:47,914 --> 01:10:49,958
Tell 'em, Darius.
Tell 'em the truth.
1724
01:10:51,001 --> 01:10:53,127
[Jamel]
So, here's what happened.
1725
01:10:53,128 --> 01:10:55,087
Darius, in his infinite wisdom,
1726
01:10:55,088 --> 01:10:57,464
saw that one meme going missing
wasn't enough
1727
01:10:57,465 --> 01:11:00,050
to make a masterpiece worthy of Josiah.
1728
01:11:00,051 --> 01:11:03,512
So, Darius reached out
to Botto, Earl,
1729
01:11:03,513 --> 01:11:05,764
and told him to take it further.
1730
01:11:05,765 --> 01:11:07,684
Steal more memes, go wild.
1731
01:11:08,309 --> 01:11:11,437
In the chaos, Darius would get his film
1732
01:11:11,438 --> 01:11:13,523
and Earl would get his team.
1733
01:11:14,065 --> 01:11:15,858
He even told Earl our route
1734
01:11:15,859 --> 01:11:18,194
so he could scatter nails in the road.
1735
01:11:19,237 --> 01:11:22,740
Darius faked the MSG logo
to point us towards Mero
1736
01:11:22,741 --> 01:11:24,241
who was also in on it.
1737
01:11:24,242 --> 01:11:26,285
Darius was the one who found the bar,
1738
01:11:26,286 --> 01:11:27,662
who leaked the clip.
1739
01:11:28,538 --> 01:11:29,539
Darius did it all.
1740
01:11:30,999 --> 01:11:32,291
Man, give me that damn camera.
1741
01:11:32,292 --> 01:11:34,793
[Earl] Whoa, whoa, whoa, careful, careful.
Careful with Darius.
1742
01:11:34,794 --> 01:11:36,003
That is not a rental.
Hey, hey!
1743
01:11:36,004 --> 01:11:37,254
Yo, dawg, what you
grabbing me for?
1744
01:11:37,255 --> 01:11:38,714
- Let me go.
- Hey, get up off me, man.
1745
01:11:38,715 --> 01:11:40,883
- Let me go.
- Dawg, this was you the whole time?
1746
01:11:40,884 --> 01:11:42,092
Of course, it's me.
1747
01:11:42,093 --> 01:11:44,178
Bro, you let us run around for weeks?
1748
01:11:44,179 --> 01:11:46,680
- You didn't say a word, man?
- I didn't let us.
1749
01:11:46,681 --> 01:11:48,849
I let you run around for weeks.
1750
01:11:48,850 --> 01:11:51,518
I've been behind the scenes
working on this thing for months
1751
01:11:51,519 --> 01:11:53,103
'cause you've been messing up
the whole time.
1752
01:11:53,104 --> 01:11:54,938
Okay, okay, all this
name-calling is not necessary.
1753
01:11:54,939 --> 01:11:57,441
- I think we should all be friends.
- Hey, Earl, go in the house.
1754
01:11:57,442 --> 01:11:59,151
Darius, bro, you played me.
1755
01:11:59,152 --> 01:12:01,279
[Josiah] And I'm directing now.
Angrier, angrier.
1756
01:12:01,696 --> 01:12:03,197
Guys, guys, guys,
is everything okay out here?
1757
01:12:03,198 --> 01:12:04,323
I know you're still yelling.
1758
01:12:04,324 --> 01:12:07,242
Yo, get in there.
1759
01:12:07,243 --> 01:12:08,744
[Josiah] Earl, Earl,
this is a Black thing.
1760
01:12:08,745 --> 01:12:09,870
[Earl]
Okay, I'll be inside.
1761
01:12:09,871 --> 01:12:12,122
- Earl, we're being Black right now, Earl.
- Earl, Earl, I got this.
1762
01:12:12,123 --> 01:12:13,457
You bought him the KD throwbacks?
1763
01:12:13,458 --> 01:12:15,542
- Of course, I did.
- With the mismatched shorts
1764
01:12:15,543 --> 01:12:17,127
with the home jersey and the away shorts.
1765
01:12:17,128 --> 01:12:18,462
- Of course.
- You did that for him?
1766
01:12:18,463 --> 01:12:21,674
How come we didn't do them, uh,
matching Halloween costumes, man?
1767
01:12:21,675 --> 01:12:22,966
We were supposed to be twins.
1768
01:12:22,967 --> 01:12:25,969
You wanted me to be Danny
talking about you wanted to be Arnold.
1769
01:12:25,970 --> 01:12:27,847
- He's gotta be Arnold, Jamel.
- [Jamel] Earl!
1770
01:12:28,556 --> 01:12:31,141
- Whoa!
- If you don't get out of my face,
1771
01:12:31,142 --> 01:12:33,060
you are going to be a sophomore
1772
01:12:33,061 --> 01:12:35,020
in Montrose Christian
when I'm done with you.
1773
01:12:35,021 --> 01:12:36,647
- Don't know what that means.
- Get in the house!
1774
01:12:36,648 --> 01:12:38,565
- Okay, I believe you.
- It's a very good reference, Earl!
1775
01:12:38,566 --> 01:12:39,858
[Josiah]
Hey, man, hey, hold up, man.
1776
01:12:39,859 --> 01:12:42,361
Jamel, take this camera. I got
something I gotta get off my chest.
1777
01:12:42,362 --> 01:12:43,445
[Jamel]
Hold on, dawg.
1778
01:12:43,446 --> 01:12:45,823
Be care-- Whoa, whoa,
be careful with my camera.
1779
01:12:45,824 --> 01:12:48,033
Hold up.
I'm in frame?
1780
01:12:48,034 --> 01:12:49,326
[Jamel]
To the right.
1781
01:12:49,327 --> 01:12:51,078
- We should be slating this.
- [Jamel] Other right.
1782
01:12:51,079 --> 01:12:52,705
- You see what I'm saying?
- [Jamel] Okay, go.
1783
01:12:52,706 --> 01:12:54,540
- You're better than that.
- I am better than that, D.
1784
01:12:54,541 --> 01:12:56,959
- Hey, why y'all disrespect me like that?
- Yeah, I don't know about him,
1785
01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:58,460
- but we going to put him--
- [Jamel] Action.
1786
01:12:58,461 --> 01:13:01,672
So, I guess all I could say is,
uh, thank you.
1787
01:13:01,673 --> 01:13:03,298
Just watch, we'll be at the Oscars.
1788
01:13:03,299 --> 01:13:05,592
We'll be, uh, we'll be everywhere.
Just watch.
1789
01:13:05,593 --> 01:13:07,761
As long as we leave, you know, at home.
1790
01:13:07,762 --> 01:13:09,221
Can I do my knuckle up thing for you?
1791
01:13:09,222 --> 01:13:10,472
- You know it.
- I've been practicing.
1792
01:13:10,473 --> 01:13:12,391
[Jamel] What y'all mean y'all about
to leave me at home?
1793
01:13:12,392 --> 01:13:13,768
Yo, take this camera
from me, dawg.
1794
01:13:14,269 --> 01:13:15,769
Thank you. I've been
in the gym with mine.
1795
01:13:15,770 --> 01:13:17,521
Hey, bro, for real,
you ain't going to let me come
1796
01:13:17,522 --> 01:13:19,398
- to the Oscars with y'all, man?
- Of course, you coming.
1797
01:13:19,399 --> 01:13:20,566
You just been slacking lately...
1798
01:13:20,567 --> 01:13:23,360
- [Josiah] You have been slacking, Jamel...
- I know my haircut fucked up right now,
1799
01:13:23,361 --> 01:13:25,447
but I thought I was...
Come on, man.
1800
01:13:25,822 --> 01:13:27,656
[Josiah] Jamel, you wasted
the [bleep] on your haircut.
1801
01:13:27,657 --> 01:13:28,907
[bleep].
1802
01:13:28,908 --> 01:13:31,035
We supposed to be
a PG-13 documentary.
1803
01:13:31,036 --> 01:13:33,579
One F word.
Ah, man.
1804
01:13:33,580 --> 01:13:35,247
[Josiah]
We only get one [bleep], Jamel,
1805
01:13:35,248 --> 01:13:38,250
and you already wasted that [bleep]
saying [bleep].
1806
01:13:38,251 --> 01:13:39,376
See?
1807
01:13:39,377 --> 01:13:42,046
Okay, I see the points
that you guys are making.
1808
01:13:42,047 --> 01:13:43,923
[Josiah] Now we gotta bleep
these other [bleep]
1809
01:13:44,257 --> 01:13:45,549
'cause you wasted the good one.
1810
01:13:45,550 --> 01:13:48,428
I'm-- Everybody, I'm sorry.
