Transcript excerpt

You know those YouTube basketball players like this dude? Okay. They're not good players. It's all bullshit and video editing. It's fake. It's fugazi. It's f f f fairy dust. And by now, you know that I hate fake shit. I hate fake clothes made of plastic. I hate fake food full of chemicals. And most of all, I hate fake people saying fake things. So if you've ever wondered, are these guys as good as they say they are? Boy, do I have a story for you. So I pull up to the park on a Saturday morning and there's a game going on, a little bit a crowd. So I get excited because in situations like this, people never see me coming. I get the whole crowd jumping and screaming. If you know, you know. As I get closer to the court, I see those people filming this game. And I'm wondering, who are these guys? So as I always do, I roll up to the baseline. I call next. Hey, yo. I got next. I look across the way, and this guy's scrunching his face at me. So I say, okay. Maybe this guy thinks he has next. So I walk around the politic a little bit. Meanwhile, the game that's going on ends, and the team that loses doesn't get off the court. So now I say, woah. Woah. Woah. I start to get mad. Bad say, well
