Back with a Three Man Weave Friday. And yep, it's just the fellas talking through the stories that keep the culture moving, the games you can't wait to see played and the conversations that we have in the barbershop. Like for one, does anything just make you irrationally mad? Like you'd be pissed off to a point that you know you shouldn't be pissed off about that thing but you can't stop being pissed off.
Well, certain things make us that way and we'll get into them. We also get into the biggest moves in football because is AJ and Jaylen's relationship as solid as they make it seem? And what does this trade say about those two and the New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles? It also brought us to a conversation about grownups. Is it okay for adult people to grow apart as friends? Myles Garrett is now a Ram. What does that say about loyalty in the NFL? More importantly, what does that say about the Rams? I mean, they are all in. And we discussed, could another legend be coming out of retirement to get his second ring at SoFi? And our boy OBJ is back. What's the next chapter going to look like? All I know is he should certainly take the opportunity to write it. And that reminds us of Jay Z, who popped out at the Roots picnic and showed once again that any room he walks into, he's the coolest guy there. Also, I didn't even know you could comb out dreads. We get into the NBA Finals because that's where legacies are made. But whose legacy is going to take the biggest joke? Wimby's or JB's. And after game one, it certainly feels like Jalen Brunson is on his way.
But before we leave, I wanted to share a message about not quitting. Because I know it's tough right now, but you're in the spot where most people walk away right before a breakthrough.
So pull up a chair, enjoy yourself and lock in, because it's a three man weave on the pivot with me, Chan and Freddie T. And it starts now.
Hey man, welcome to the Pivot fam. Thank you all for pivoting with us, man. Another three man weave on Friday. It's been a while. I just want to know, man, you know, in the group text, I heard you got a little upset recently. And I'm just going to say, man, that seems like a very irrational reason to be pissed off.

**Channing** (3:07)
Is it irrational?
If I'm looking at the menu, RC, and I see that the steak is $81, why do you remind me the steak is $81? Give me my goddamn steak Pittsburgh medium.

**Ryan** (3:21)
As in after you ordered it?

**Channing** (3:22)
Let me get the big filet Pittsburgh medium.
You know that's $81?
That I just ordered. Bro, when you said the irrational thing, I said, man, I irrationally get upset when waiters remind me of the price. When the price is on the menu, I just saw, I just ordered that. I saw 81 next to it. I want that steak. Give me my goddamn steak and leave me alone. Bro, I get so hot when they remind me of how much something costs. I'm not going to lie.

**Ryan** (3:56)
You probably don't get irrationally upset about anything.

**Freddie** (3:58)
Not like that, bro. I'm more chill. I'm trying to figure out what steak houses you're eating at, because the ones that got the real steaks, they're not going to say nothing about the price.
That's the question.

**Channing** (4:09)
You know I'm kind of cheap. I go to some little slide-offs.

**Ryan** (4:12)
That's what I was thinking.

**Freddie** (4:13)
I don't always get overly upset, but something that does upset me, if you come to me for advice.

**Ryan** (4:19)
Okay.

**Freddie** (4:20)
And then I see you or I peep you, you do the complete opposite of the advice that I gave you. Like, why the F, using your, why the F, right? So, slightly irrational. Why the F did you even come to me? Like, that's the one thing that really upsets me more than anything. Because I value going in my brain saying, look, do it this way, especially if I know the answer for a fact. You know, like even my son, 23, amazing person, very intelligent.
