This feels like a grown man being interviewed by four stoned high schools kids.
Cause that’s exactly what it is lol
😅😅😅
The more I listen, this is 100% accurate
Lol it's not, untrue. Not exactly.
That's because Andrew has the testosterone levels of a crayon box
Richard Jefferson would kill on flagrant 😂😂
Facts especially if they have good wine 🍷 RJ is hilarious and awesome story teller
Yes!!!
This comment needs more likes. This'd be amazing
Fr or Gilbert arenas
Richard Jefferson would slay, but he has nothing to promote and doesn't need to take the abuse.
I feel like “I shouldn’t have done this” is something that goes through the minds of like 90% of Flagrant’s guests. 😂😂😂
Can someone please tell me what the guy at 46:15 said and everyone laughed? I can't understand it
@@starboiklem8381 hes a catch and shooter"
Every time he runs his hands through his hair you can tell he's thinking "fuck what am i doing here"
And viewers 😂😂
@@lake0417 Or sipped some water 😂
“Can you not be a child for 5 seconds” lmaoooo
I’m sure many guests have thought this.
I’m glad he said this because that shit is annoying
Andrew tripling down on the haircut for so long is wild
Yeah bro it's crazy. Bro thought he's starting a trend. Nobody gave a shit. Man is in denial. He's freaking in his 40s with this clown ass haircut smh 💀
Cause why does it bother people so much, when you don’t even know this man personally. Imagine a randoms persons haircut BOTHERING you
@@fr3dv103ok mister perfect…move along
@@fr3dv103 It does not genuinely bother anyone, he just looks objectively horrible.
So does Patrick Mahommes but how many D riders have that loss to a weed whacker proudly displayed on their heads?
I love how people are commenting “loved the pod, such a great listen” when it’s been out for 2 minutes just to get quick likes 🤣🤣 (I commented this for likes)
if i could give you two likes I would
Loved the pod, such a great listen!
Nah bro you’re just not watching it in 15x speed like the rest of us 😤
Lmao wish people did that to our pod 😂
Somebody called this on the subreddit
The "Did Dwight stay in the shower" line was hilarious. I think it was overlooked.
JJ skated over it so quickly 😭
@@FreeBandz658he definitely just had an epiphany 💀
The “you are upset dwighted wasn’t on the top 75 “ was overlooked.
@12:26 When JJ said "I shouldn't have done this" he played it off as a joke, but you can tell he was being deadass serious and just said his thoughts out oud lmaoooo
nah it aint that deep lol
Maybe but tis is the perfect podcast to raise your profile outside your own listeners. If the guest has a good sense of self deprecating humor, Andrew Schultz's fans will start paying attention to the guests career.
@@blackcat4859 lmaoooo it’s different when you’re trying to get a commentator for the NBA to make derogatory jokes about race and sexuality. Some of yall forget not everyone is a comedian. Andre is 40 and still acts like he’s 15. Dude has a room temperature IQ
@@YaboiPerky yes, a comedian is a whole different category of being funny. I didn't mean making those jokes as well of course, I meant just playing a long and not be too serious. Like have some fun with the catch and shoot jokes etc. Just think how Richard Jefferson would on this show.
I'm pretty sure JJ Redick knew full well what kind of show this is before he went on it.
Bringing up the Jason Williams 1 on 1 less than a minute in lmao
You makin a short about this one huh?
Jay Williams*
2 BEARS 1 GRAVE!!!!!!
You're Bert's only fan 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@retrosuperfuture5348Well, yeah. But his name is Jason. Back in the day at Duke, he didn't go by Jay. At least not publicly.
I absolutely hate having to admit that JJ is a genuinely chill and likable person. I spent 30+ years thinking I could count on death, taxes and that JJ from Duke was a douche.
Funny, we are the opposite. Now I think he’s a douche.
Same @cmcb634 maybe it’s because I’m from Akron/Cleveland area and have watched LBJ since high school and now JJ slurps on LBJ, but I’m ok with that truth lol.
@@tshaw2856 I grew up here too and what’s annoying as people that live here only choose LeBron because he’s from here. Michael Jordan will always be the greatest. Not only basketball player but athlete of all time just deal with it.
I used to love rooting for the hated guys growing up, so JJ was a fav during his Duke run.
@@blackout2430 Jordan didn't win without Phil Knight and Pippen. Literally the most iconic player ever for sure, but please stop the "no one can ever compare". Jordan raised the comp for Kobe by changing the game and Kobe perfected it and raised the bar again for Lebron. Lebron has stood against some of the greatest NBA players EVER!
That Dwight Howard joke was hilarious lmfao
He was quick with that one, damn. Absolutely hilarious. Poor JJ 😂
This pod needs fewer people.
yes, or if they must keep all the guys, fine, but they SHOULD have index cards or something, and ask various questions per person, so they don't cut each other off
They could be like gils arena a 4 ppl panel that constantly rotates of the same guys
So true, 3 would still be a lot imo.
The people left of JJ added absolutely nothing to this podcast.
Such a racist thing to say 😂
Aye when Andrew gets serious and curious about a topic or subject, he really asks some of the most insightful, creative and engaging questions.
Andrew is an insufferable interviewer
JJ is the coolest dude. Thank you for having him on! More previous NBA players! Jason Williams was a great ep. If you had Richard Jefferson on, he would roast you so hard. Have him on please!
Love seeing JJ thrive post career, the players that are truly passionate about their respective games are even more inspirational/motivational than when they played sometimes.
,anyone else love that jj told andrew to stfu and quit being a child while he was trying to awnser a question, every guest should use that at 3 seconds so the podcast can start being deacent again
Love JJ, I just finished mind the game and i stumble upon this, what's today? Christmas?
As of now, it’s physically impossible for you to have listened to this entire pod. Hold that L.
@@ShortsByBrianI listened to mind the game already…
@@ShortsByBrianyou really are just commenting to hate, you don’t read the comment bro. Real frustrating, try growing up.
@@ShortsByBrian who said i finished this pod ?? i said i finish the lebron jj redick mind the game pod...are u blind, dumb, hater or all of them? i hope u r not like this in ur everyday life which will be sad for all the people around you, read twice next time my friend and MAYBE look for something GOOD to say..
@@ShortsByBrian Take the L back like a boomerang my friend !! cause u are blind or you can't read, who said i finished this pod?? I finished the lebron JJ Mind the game pod, and i said i love JJ as i m a regular JJ Pod listener, MAYBE next time read twice or look for something NICE to say
JJ's too dignified for this
He's perfect for this.
Literally everyone is still dignified for this
Why? Bc his legs are crossed? Lol. No he’s not lol he’s playing the game to get new viewers. He knows it’s a different audience. He’s smart enough to diversify.
As a UNC fan, JJ was one of the few guys that I actually feared as a fan. He still to this day, is the BEST 3PT SHOOTER in college I've ever witnessed. Dude made impossible 3's and made it look easy. Respect to JJ, had a solid NBA career as well.
What about Grant Hill? Wildddd
Can someone please tell me what the guy at 46:15 said and everyone laughed? I can't understand it
@@starboiklem8381 "He's a catch and shoot guy" which became the running joke of the episode.
@@starboiklem8381 the catch and shoot
@@loumenadbro jimmer fredette was the best shooter
I'm NGL this is my first time listening to this podcast, I just love JJ. Did NOT expect you guys to have such insightful and intricate questions about basketball very impressed
The conversation about play recall was interesting. High level chess players have an uncontested ability at recalling previous games. The human mind is so good at specializing when it’s done at such a consistent and high level.
I think the discussion around sports media is fascinating. I’m 42, I fell in love with the NBA when Ahamad Rashad and Willow Bay were on Saturday mornings on NBA inside stuff, I watched ESPN religiously for years, I read the local newspaper about my team, I loved SI, etc. Now I consume 95% of my basketball content from KZhead. I think the biggest difference is that KZhead content creators just do it for the love of the game and you can really feel that.
Turned 30 today, this pod is the icing on the cake. You guys rule!
Happy birthday! 🎂
Have a good one bruh!🎉
Welcome to the dirty 30’s
Happy birthday🎉
Happy Birthday! Welcome to the Club! Children think you’re old as dirt and older ppl still don’t respect you. 😂😂😂😂
26:19 “did Dwight stay in the shower with you?” is crazy 😂
Just wanna say thank you for having this man on and asking him such great and in-depth questions about basketball! All of those questions were amazing ! Keep up the great work Guys! Very informative
Akaash calling out schulz for switching up his Steph take brought me joy. Schulz isn’t authentic as he preaches he is 😂
JJ was really good in this podcast handling Andrew’s and the rest of those guy’s shenaneigans 😭
Started this podcast at like 2 am wanted to go to bed couldnt I just had to listen this podcast in full length such a great listen. JJ is so articulative and good at explaining and breaking down complicated stuff
JJ is literally becoming the face of basketball at THIS point of his career.
You only say that bcos he’s with Lebron James on the podcast if he was only on ESPN you’ll see him as another journalist
@@danieltatum4262 naw he has a point, JJ doing numbers on his own too, his old man and the 3 podcast got over 1 million subs, he's quietly killing it
Weve been saying that since his first podcast was doing numbers and became a staple of the bball community. @@danieltatum4262
@@danieltatum4262Nah. JJ cooks of all platforms.
Face of casual basketball fans bro.. you know what that make you? 😂
swear to god i had maybe 89 ads during this ep i wanted to pull my hair out lmfao
adblock brother
my good sir ublock
@@JayOhR i just got youtube premium because my adblock was getting detected from youtube. is there one that doesnt do that i would love to stop paying for this website?
you tube premium is worth it.
I came here right after watching the 2nd episode of JJ and Lebron. KZhead recommended 😂
Same here
Already know this finna be a banger😮💨
Redickulous
Is it finta? Or finna? Asking for nervous whites.
No never been a T in that word. Fellow white… kinda like gonna do but finna do
🤦🏻♂️
i hope you still not with a black chick you can do much better brother
Really liked this conversation. Relax, smart, fun, great questions, interesting guest. A 2 hours blast! Thank you!
This was amazing! Love that flagrant did a ton of background on JJ and came super prepared. Amazing questions and humor made this 2 hr podcast feel like 15min
JJ is the man. One of if not the best basketball mind in sports media currently💯
This is like when my favorite cartoons did crossover episodes as a kid 😢😂😂❤
Haha for real
Flagrant we READY! No better way to start a Wednesday! LETS GO!! 💯
Had to sleep, couldn't stop watching. JJ is so smart and his passion for the game speaks volumes through the screen, love it.
Wow, this is one of the most entertaining podcasts ever! Thanx Guys. Love your channel. I've subbed as well. Look forward to catching up on the rest of the podcasts...
my favorite guest and i haven't even started watching
Wasn’t def hyped when I seen this week was him
I know JJ heard the first Shultz laugh and freaked tf out. 😂 “what did I agree to?”
Please keep these intros. Love how it gets right into the convo without me even realizing
I enjoyed this pod a lot. The jokes were just left and right. The JJ poetry bit was hilarious I would like more of JJ Reddick poetry. I like the genuine moment they gave JJ kudos how he talks about the game and how he appreciated it.
One of the best episodes in my opinion you could tell JJ was going deep talking about coach K and all the great people he played with
💯
This was the squad that made me a Devils fan. 7th grade. I’ll never forget ! Much Love JJ !
Man i actually just watched one of the clips for this podcast with JJ and I ended up going back and listening to the whole podcast. I remember growing up watching JJ do his thing at Duke and my family is from NC so it was always Duke vs UNC rivalries! Thanks for the awesome podcast!
Schulz swears he’s an elite ball player lol gotta love it
I hope they bring up Jason Williams losing to Schulz🤣
They do it straight off the rip haha.
Calling J Will "Chocolate chocolate" is WILD 😂
Ayo is that real I thought he was lying😂
Oh that’s a real thing hahaha
No.
Love this episode! Kept getting better from the first minute til the end.
Shoutout yall, congrats on the year! My only complaints are ion understand the AJ and Cherry reference, and AJ drop some music family! Shoutout from the 828
JJ is the guy Andrew dreams of being.
This is SO true!
Completely false. Andrew dreams of being a lot of people other than himself, none of which are other white guys.
JJ is the guy a lot of us want to be
Even Andrews haircut is half way to JJs
@@Sham_A_😂😂😂
Schulz, you couldn’t even fuck with scalabrini the white mamba let alone JJ
lol he has much better chance against JJ just because of size. Scal would be a great guest
Definitely enjoy this one today!!!
Been waiting on this one 👏👏👏
As a UNC alum, JJ is the only Duke bball alum that I have respect for
As a uk alum i feel ya jj was nice i despised every other duke player but for some reason u got to respect redick
I feel you but he can’t be the only one right now? 😅
What about Tatum?
Jason Williams
JJ is not a UNC alum. I know that's not what you meant, but that's what you wrote.
JJ Reddick killing the game rn
Seeing the level of detail and dedication JJ has put into the game is insane. Dude is a true mastermind.
Super early, but should be a great one. Let's see JJs type of humor 😂😂
Akaash catching Andrew tryna switch up 😂
this was an awesome guest show . im in tears
The recollection of events and conversation by JJ is actually INSANE! Definitely a skill I need to grow
This was by far my favourite episode. Big props to JJ for taking the risk to come on and being a good sport. Learnt a lot and was funny as hell.
“There’s no good answer to that.” is my new response 😂😂
Facts 😂
This show is turning into the definition of “money doesn’t change you, it shows who you really are”.
Money and fame has made Andrew less funny and a douche bag
It’s a good day when you get to see JJ thriving man
My first ever Pistons game was watching the 76ers at Little Caesers - and JJ popped off, jumping so damn high on every 3
True or false: does Schultz know Coach K is no longer the coach of Duke
God Andrew’s laughing and talking over the guests make Flagrant borderline unlistenable
Nah that's just a you thing
collab of the century 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I really like that he tells stories with his answers!!💫
Jj perfect for tv man happy for his post career. I remember shooting with jj on 2k ps3 days.
2k13 I would fuck people up w that mf 💀💀💀
Pretty sure I requested this years ago. I need to find the screenshot.
I’m sure that’s why they booked him
Good for u
Two of my favorite podcasters talked for two hours. I am fuckin stoked. If you dont have anything positive to say, stfu. 🤫
Well done, boss, this is all due to your efforts
@@thetruth9371without you we couldn't have had him here. THANKS BRO
One of the best episodes this year
I used to love playing box and 1 bc my coach would always make me the one to chase around the best player, I loved it.
Certified Banger
1:09:00 JJ doubled in size when he sat up😂
This was a great pod. I dont even follow/watch basketball...i just know what i hear and see some highlights sometimes.
Yooo I just watched his new pod with Lebron before seeing this. So cool getting the casual basketball talk from some long time vets.
As a UNC and OSU fan I hated JJ in college and then still in the pros because he went to Duke, but I do love him now. As a side note, one of my buddies, his mom babysat JJ when he was a kid lol. Shout out USMC Veteran Brian Saul. 😊
LET'S GOO!!
Players in the 50s were firemen and plumbers the same way players now are journalists and fashion designers
What an insightful and enjoyable watch. Great stuff fellas
Finally someone who calls out Andrew for being childish 😂
JJ on Flagrant? Man this is awesome
2 fire pods back to back hopefully he keeps it this way
This was such a great interview. As someone with my own podcast and have been in touch with JJ, he still remains one of my White Whale guests even though you all have asked several questions I would have! Haha. Keep up the great work - always entertaining!
The gap in class and maturity between him and everybody is crazy!!!
so fucking fire you had JJ on the pod!!!!!
We need no chill Gil on this podcast ASAP!
I could see Andrew annoying him on the pod 😂
I like that the first half of the pod, it’s a lot of jokes, and it seems to get them cool with JJ, and once they are a lot more cool with him, they just shut up and let him talk, and you can tell in the pod how comfortable he is with these dudes who were probably pretty random to him until hours before this
For real I learned a lot about the game and how to handle certain situations please bring on more guests like this
I like Andrew but he should stop interrupting so much. Fake laughs are getting out of control too.
Go home
Start your own podcast
Agreed. Meat riders ain’t gonna like it tho. Overall still a good pod but it’s really noticeable and could do without it so much
Everybody has a pod style this is his start ur own
My 12yr old son is a top hooper here n San Antonio so I showed him this pod for the knowledge n 1st thing he says, “yooo whats going on with his haircut” lmfao! 🤣🤦🏻♂️
Rap stands for: Rhythm And Poetry It’s all poetry ✌🏾🔥💯
never thought i would see JJ on here, and i love it
Man can someone hook up my guy Andrew with a barber that will finish the haircut…..
You must be new here
@@hendarula5310idk if he confirmed this just he’s definitely shooting a show right?
@@groovy3443 it was for a movie he did a while ago and he just kept it
@@hendarula5310 nah ion believe that shi. My theory is he's starring in some kind of show, I'm guessing a sitcom with like 20 episodes. Doesn't make sense otherwise why he STILL has that goofy ahh look lol
The amount of unskipable ads on the episode was ridiculous. Gonna find this and everything i can else where. Had enough KZhead.
Safari>>Adguard>>no ads on mobile
They got to make money someway 😊
@@Aontre i get it, but do they gotta be unskipable?....i dunno, dumb thing to bitch about... But it got to me on this ep
Thought I was the only one getting them. More ads than actual podcast
This podcast is fantastic. JJ knows ball. Great combo with the Flagrant crew
the crossover that i needed
I like these guys but sometimes they just interrupt too much. There are times when JJ is clearly trying to put together a continuous thought and someone interrupts in a way that doesn't bring any value to the podcast. Let the guest speak.
“Layout” like JJ explained
1:07:50 Akaash tries to throw a joke in there and everyone ignores him. You can see the awkward pain in him after that…
