Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you.
We're here. It is cuffing season.
Cuffing season is upon us.
We have to figure out who's going where,
who's going to be with who.
And with me, I have Gia Peppers. We are going to figure this out.
Gia, Are you ready?
I'm ready. Are you, Mouse?
How are you preparing for cuffing season?
I'm just taking a step back and looking at my options.
And we're seeing who can go where,
what exactly the timeline is-
Are you looking forward to any trades?
You know, some people do have to go.
Now, what is something that could get somebody traded,
released, kicked off a team,
or what can plummet their draft stock?
You're inconsistent in the field,
on the court, I can't have you in the lineup.
Fellas, if you are preparing your draft lotteries
and your draft picks at home, understand something.
If you make your plate
or if you buy your own 2K, you're single.
Let's jump into these picks.
I'm getting a lot of updates.
It's really a lot. Twitter is talking.
The Twittersphere is really on fire.
Twitter is speaking.
So let's look at a few of the names on this list.
Honorable mentions. Why don't you start off,
because I see your list is very extensive.
We have one Tiffany Haddish.
Solid.
That's a solid pick right there.
Not a lot with couth, but she's gonna make you laugh.
She's gonna make you laugh and you two might have a special.
Mom's gonna love her-
Mom's gonna love her.
Mom's gonna love her. She's got good solid movies
coming out for the next couple years,
so if I wanted to just take a few years off
and find myself, she could fund it.
You know there's someone who has just been consistently winning?
And pushing the culture forward who I love
but I would never take away from his family?
Lebron James, ladies and gentlemen.
There is no one greater right now for the culture ...
other than Colin Kaepernick ... than Lebron James.
With the movies, with the Lakers,
with the documentaries, with the Nike deals,
with Harlem Fashion Row and black women
designing the shoe, the show The Shop-
The Shop is amazing.
Which, is it gonna come back, Lebron?
We need answers, please.
Me and Gia are available.
We'd like to be on there. Yeah.
So yeah, Lebron James is the honorable mention from me.
Just always a solid guy.
I think one of the greatest upsides I see with Lebron
is something I can't relate to, outside the millions,
is the fact there's no scandal.
No scandal. Like 20 years in the league almost-
Obama and him, no scandals.
As you can see, shout to Obama.
I wore the cream suit jacket as he did one
Easter. Very black of you.
Very black.
So, yeah, Lebron James, I can definitely see him going high.
He's an honorable mention.
Just a good guy that always deserves to be
in the conversation.
Absolutely. Something to be said about loyalty.
Kash Doll. I have Kash Doll.
I like Kash Doll. Talent.
I like a good ghetto. I like a good ghetto queen.
I'm not gonna call her that.
Yeah, I'm gonna say-
You do your thing.
Listen. Listen.
There's no negative connotation with ghetto and me.
I love some ghetto shit. Look at us. Look at us.
Doesn't get much ghetto than what we
[crosstalk 00:03:04].
But yeah. Kash Doll, great complexion-
Gorgeous. Just the-
Looks like fried rice.
Looks like the perfect fried rice.
If you ever had plain-
That is not a compliment.
Yes it is. If you've ever had plain fried rice
from your local Chinese establishment-
Shut ... Shut it up.
Okay.
Next up. Alright. Let's figure it out.
Something less controversial I hope.
What is someone whose draft is plummeting on yours?
Drake. I love Drake so much.
And it pains me to say this but there was a monkey wrench
thrown in the game when we all found out-
Are you calling this man's child a monkey wrench?
No! Not a child. I don't do children.
When we found out that he rented out a restaurant
to have a little meeting or a date
with an 18 year old girl who he's known since she was 16.
We have a problem and I need it to be addressed, Drizzy, please.
For the culture.
I know you're on tour, but honestly. Tweet us.
Yeah we need to know what introspective song-
'Cause she put hearts in the emojis
of the captions of you guys and I don't need ...
I need answers. So, until you address it ...
Yuck.
Let's talk about somebody whose stock might've went up.
Issa Rae.
Issa Rae. Issa BAE.
Yeah. Issa BAE. It is. It's a BAE.
So Issa Rae, her stock is shot up.
Awkward Black Girl, I used to watch that
and be like "You know, she's funny."
I was a major fan and still am.
Love it-
I hosted Insecure Fest. She and I hit it off.
Hey ... it's a little ...
you gotta move that head out the way a little bit.
Yeah, it's gettin' a little thick in here.
Takes one to know one.
I didn't do Insecure Fest.
What? I didn't host Insecure Fest.
You just have Lebron on your show.
Let's just do that.
Staples Center. 18,000 people.
Hey, but, you know ... Issa Rae. Stock goes up.
I like what she's doing within the community.
She has a great smile.
Her teeth are so white that they probably call
AppleCare.
She's also a little bit from the DMV.
No. Don't think that's how that goes.
She's from the DMV a little bit.
Mmm-mm Yep.
She was there for a few years.
Very formative years. I claim her.
You can't.
I did. I just did.
It's literally not about you claiming her.
No. But I would like to see her go high in this draft.
I would like to see how she performs.
We have not seen anything about her
in relationships in real life.
If it's anything like the character-
I think she keeps it low. I think she's smart.
I think she maneuvers in strategic ways.
Someone you need. Who can stay low and build.
Staying low and building,
it will have your player rating at 99.
Absolutely.
Now, I would like to be claimed in the streets.
This kid has really just been showin' up
and showin' out lately.
This guy is a funny guy, really seems to be grounded.
Woody McClain. I'm just a fan of him.
Yeah. I like this guy.
I love Woody McClain.
I think he did a great job as Bobby Brown.
But I also think ... I saw his interviews.
He's very humble. He loves God.
That always is gonna get you high, okay, on my list.
Goin far in the draft. Really talented kid.
Watch out for him. Know his name.
And he's young! Young. Good up side. You get in now-
He was raised right.
You get in now when the draft is easy.
And you can moltivate ...
yeah I put those two words together ...
You moltivate. That's mold and cultivate.
You moltivate your superstar, really.
I like the guy, Woody McClain,
I hope to see some good things from him in this draft.
Me, too.
I wanna talk a minute about a legend.
A legend who ... she's no longer on the draft board.
She is just a perennial superstar,
goes out every week, slays with hubby, with her team.
I think it's time we retire her actual jersey.
Let's talk about Beyonce for a minute.
Let's talk about Beyonce. Let's talk about the queen.
I'd love to talk. I am in the Beyhive.
For many years. Many years.
Same. Same. Same. I thought I recognized you.
It's me from the 1996 induction mini.
It was. It was. No no no
No no. Can't say yeah yeah.
Moving on ... Beyonce, you know,
I think a lot of the younger draft picks
should look up to queen mother.
Someone who knows how to keep decorum at all times,
but she's not afraid to be herself.
You need that. You need someone who will
take you to Red Lobster after some sex.
Yes!
Sometimes I need to know that even though
I didn't knock it out the park this time-
You still love me ...
And you'll bring me to Red Lobster.
Cheddar bay biscuits. Even a hiccup.
Sometimes the team doesn't always move well.
Sometimes the team ...
up and makes some bad decision with some bad contracts.
Maybe entertaining other players.
Sometimes it ... up but you're still solid,
and you still are loyal to your team.
I think Beyonce could take a lot of the younger talent
underneath her wing and moltivate
some other younger upcoming players.
What do you think?
That's not a thing.
These are who we're lockin' in.
This is who we're looking to see big things from this year.
Andre 3000. I just love him. People see him in New York,
and we're in New York or based in New York,
never seen him but I feel like he's a unicorn
and together we can make great magic.
He could teach me a lot, and I just love him.
Would you get him to put out the album?
Yes. Absolutely. I would figure it out.
I think he is talented.
I think he's one of the most special talents
that we've ever seen in music. And he's just gorgeous.
He's a gorgeous man with that great smile
and the little tooth thing happenin' and I love it.
Gia 3000 for the win.
Alright so, now I'm on the board.
And I'm gonna take a little time with this one.
Because I don't like seein' people rush into things.
That's what I like to call a word. A message.
Not sure where [crosstalk 00:09:20] is taking this.
So now, I see him on the board. Now, I respect your pick.
I'm gonna put some money on some upcoming talent.
I'm going to put some stock on Saweetie.
Saweetie!
Yes. Love Saweetie.
I like her. Gorgeous kid.
Love her. She's gorgeous.
That woman is more beautiful than a EBT card on the 31st.
She's fine. Good fingernails. I always watch fingernails.
I don't like the peek-a-boo.
Yeah, see, no peek-a-boo with you.
You know, the peek-a-boo is the part where your nail
is comin' up a little bit,
and I can see the real nail underneath.
A little peek-a-boo. I don't like that. So Saweetie-
That means it's time to go get a fill, sis.
Exactly. Exactly. And she didn't have that.
That's great. I wouldn't expect her to have that.
Her eyelashes are incredible.
Great eyelashes. She has a very youthful look to her.
She's very youthful.
So which means when we get older-
College grad.
College grad! Just great stock in this kid.
And I think she could be the future.
She could really be the future of a franchise.
So I'm safe to say Saweetie ... my pick.
Gia, you're back on the clock.
So this guy already has a wife. So let's just start there.
And I love them, and I think they're incredible,
and I do not believe in breaking up happy homes.
But if he has a brother or a cousin
or someone who wants to be like him,
you come to this team over here because Sterling K.
Brown is one of the best people in the industry right now.
He's great. He's funny. He's talented. He's on This Is
Us which is probably one of the greatest shows on TV ever.
He's black.
As shit.
And black and black and black and I'm black, y'all.
And he's got kids. He's just an all around good guy.
He speaks out when he needs to speak out.
He shuts up when he needs to shut up.
He does shut up when he needs to shut up.
And, you know, he cries.
And I love a man who's in touch with his feelings,
who really works hard for what he wants.
He's not new to this acting game,
but he's just getting his time in to shine.
And it's great to see him do so well in such great things.
HBCU graduate.
With integrity, though.
You know, I think integrity is a lost art in this generation.
What is that? I love Sterling K. Brown. Love him.
So let's go to you.
I would love to see what he can do
on someone's team honestly. Even though-
Someone like him. 'Cause he's already married.
Even though he basically stole my character.
Stole my life. Stole my likeness for his character Randall.
Really? That's you?
That's me! He doesn't give me any credit for that.
But it's me.
I've never heard these reports ever.
It's me in my rookie season. Look it up.
Yeah, that's not documented at all.
Look it up. It's on my card.
As a fact, the opposite is documented.
Number two! Big pick. I'm puttin' money on this one.
I'm willing to bet the house on this one.
I'm pretty sure she can fix my team.
Get in there get me together.
Probably get my credit together. Things of that nature.
Tracee Ellis Ross. Let's talk about Joan.
Legendary.
Let's talk about rainbow.
Bow. Bow!
Bow. Love Blackish.
Blackish.
Yeah. Let's talk about her. She looks amazing.
All the time.
She's aging backwards. Tracee Ellis.
She's the daughter of a legend-
Diana Ross.
Diana Ross. Diana Ross.
Her brother is Evan. Most known for his role on ATL.
Come on.
"Get your timing belt fixed ... "
that's what he said on ATL.
I like that, how you got in and out of character
within 3.2 seconds. Tracee Ellis Ross is a legend.
I often love Joan and her corniness
because it reminds me of me and my corniness.
I celebrate holidays just like that: corny.
With my friends. I like to make all my friends corny.
You know, it's a great pick.
She's out keeping up with the youth,
posting great pictures on Instagram.
I'll give her that. She's a Instagram hottie.
This is a quiet trait that goes unnoticed:
a woman that can post a great
Instagram picture but not indulge in the thirst.
She posts a great
Instagram picture and gets outta dodge.
So you mean she doesn't, like, go in her DMs?
Do you know that for a fact?
Yeah I know because I've been DMin' her for about 3 years.
Yeah but it might just be you.
Okay.
Alright we've ran through the names.
We talked about the Rihannas. We've talked about the Beyonces.
You didn't talk about Rihanna.
Well, there's a reason why. Too regular for me.
Oh wow! Rihanna regular, wow. The hate, the shade, the lies.
The forehead.
I got a forehead. What is you saying though?
Now I gotta get outta character for that.
What is you saying about foreheads?
Just 'cause you wear a hat.
I feel like Rihanna is not ... I feel like she's overrated.
I feel like it's a lot more aesthetic than it is woman-
I can't. I'll leave the set. You are a joke. That's a joke.
Just bein' honest.
She is gorgeous.
My team- Thick-hanna. Thank you.
I haven't been to the gym in a week.
Thank you.
My team. Thank you.
My cap. I put my money where I want,
where I feel it's gonna be a safe bet.
No one's gonna get me, curse me out ...
I would like that actually. Take that back.
I'm sad to see your thoughts about Rihanna.
I don't agree.
But a few people that we should've probably named:
the actress who plays Nuri on Love Is.
Love her.
I would ... if she was on this draft ... maybe next year?
Next year.
When she has a few years under her,
when she had a year under her belt.
Few seasons under her belt.
Gets a little seasoning. Right now very early on.
I feel like she's on a show on OWN which is great.
I feel like that's juco right now.
So you let her get in there [crosstalk 00:14:44]
You're not gonna call Oprah Winfrey's network juco.
Okay this is The Oprah Winfrey. We're gonna give her a D1.
It's not the greatest school out there but it's D1.
Maybe it's a Davidson.
It's a Davidson! And guess who came out of Davidson.
No one.
Stephen. Yeah he came outta there.
Steph Curry. Great things.
I think next year,
I'll definitely have her on this list.
The people have been waiting.
I've been seeing tweets all segment long.
I see it. Where is number one?!
We're gonna get it to you right now.
We're gonna get it to you right now ladies and gentlemen.
This young man-
It's on you. We flipped a coin. Number one pick is on you.
It's on me?
This young man has been an actor for years.
He's been on legendary shows with legendary actors
since he was 13.
He was in Hardball. He was in The Wire.
He was in so many great things, and now he is my king.
What we're gonna do is we're gonna bring on Michael B.
Jordan as the number 1 draft pick.
And what we do there is ...
Killmonger had a great final scene,
and hopefully we'll have a great final scene at our wedding
when that happens because I love Michael B. Jordan.
Shots are being shot people!
But no, in all seriousness I think he's just a stand-up guy.
He's gotten a bad rep for certain things.
He likes the whites.
That is alleged. Alleged.
No. He puts mayonnaise on that sandwich.
You better believe that.
He likes all types of women.
So he says. So we hope. And Michael B.
Jordan is just a great kid. He's a great guy.
We're only seeing the beginning of this man's future.
He's gonna go far.
He dies good.
He's gonna be up there with the Denzels.
He's gonna be up there.
Yeah he is. You went a little far.
No, I mean he's gonna be a black actor
that is gonna be around for a long time.
I don't think Michael B. Jordan's goin anywhere.
They're talkin' about makin' him the Superman.
The next black Superman. What do you say?!
I seen that. It's not gonna happen.
The whites are not gonna have that.
Well, Michael B.
Jordan, I love you, and I think you're a great kid.
And really, thank you for your face.
Thank you to your mom and dad for your face.
It's on her. Absolutely on her.
You look great. Really.
So let's just take a look back
at our draft picks one more time.
At number 5, we had Andre 3000
Andre. 3K. 3 stacks.
At number 4, we had Saweetie.
Saweetie. Sa-weetie.
Sa-weetie.
Jay Z wants that sweet.
I don't think that's-
That was a Jay-Z lyric.
Don't think that's the same thing.
I think he said that before she started rappin'.
Number 3-
Number 3, Sterling K.
Brown's look alike or friend or close brother
that is also raised like him.
Number 2, the incomparable Tracee Ellis Ross.
Incomparable! Hey, Diana.
And number 1- Michael BAE Jordan.
Yeah. But I think it's B.
It's BAE.
What if the B stands for Bernard?
That's alright. That's my dad's middle name.
It's fine with me. It would mean alignment.
Gia, before we get outta here, you've got your team together.
You got your team.
You've got a solid team you're going into cuffing season with.
What do you want to impart in them in this upcoming season?
What do you wanna tell your picks?
And also some teams watching who's picking on their own.
I can be the greatest love you've ever had in your life.
Let's just start there. Heart is big.
I'm ambitious. I'm gorgeous. Let's just call it what it is.
I am here for you ... why are you leaving?!
He gets upset. He gets really upset.
Alright, guys, sorry for that. There was some things going on
that I didn't really agree with there but uh-
You don't think I could be the greatest love of someone's life?
I definitely think that.
Ladies, I wanna let you know when you're running,
you get with me, I'm running a very solid team here.
A team though.
When we get on the floor, I need you to understand:
You're on the floor. You're my floor general.
You're my eyes, and you're my ears.
Okay? I need you to be able to take direction.
I need you to also be able to make on-the-fly calls.
I'm not really into doubt. I need you to care for me.
I need there to be a nurturing spirit when you're on that floor
when you're running the offense through you.
Defense ... I need defense to be ...
championships are won on defense.
Don't let no ... come around me.
You gotta box em out. I wanna see-
So they gotta be your bodyguards, too.
Your security.
I run my team how I run my team.
Just asking for clarification.
If we're trying to succeed here, what do you wanna do?
Also, I like gifts.
Easiest way to get the most playing time.
I also like gifts as well.
Gifts and quality time. And good morning texts.
Yeah. Love language. My love language-
Ooh what's your love language?
My love language is don't ... play with me text messages.
That's not-
Yup. That's my love language. Don't ... play with me.
That's not in the quiz.
That should be- That's not a result.
That is actually. That's not a result.
It is. I took it, and mine said that.
'Cause you wrote it in there?
Yes. Okay.
This has been the "I'll Apologize Later"
live Cuffing Season
draft special with my special correspondent,
friend, sister and homegirl,
Gia Peppers, 1/5th of the black girl podcast.
And I've been Mouse Jones,
the male who put the juxt in juxtaposition,
BET's resident rubble rouser,
and ladies, the quite possible worst decision of your life.
