BLAKE GRIFFIN Talks GOAT Debate, Donald Sterling, Retirement

Could have maybe dunked on Dr. J. It's fun to think about.
Do you ever feel bad after a poster?
No.
You ever felt bad one time?
Never.
What if a guy's wife was there?
Shouldn't have been there.
What if his mom just died or something?
Well, that's sad.
Yeah.
But I don't feel bad for the dunk.
I feel bad that he just lost the matriarch of his family.
What if he cried?
Hypothetically.
Has someone ever cried?
I don't know, but Kendrick Perkins deleted his Twitter after I dunked on him.
That's like, I think that should be on my resume.
Yeah, somehow he's still, he's still annoying a little bit.
He's back.
He's back.
Carry on.
Carry the hell on.
Carry the hell on.
Well, look.
Good evening, everyone.
Hey, everybody. Welcome back to The Adam Friedland Show. I'm Adam Friedland.
First off, I just want to take a moment to thank our members, the members of
the Friedland
Family Foundation. If you'd like to support the show, simply hit join at the
top of this
page here on youtube.com. You'll get early access to all of our new episodes
before they
come out and are released to the general public. Also, as I said last week, we
have a Patreon now,
to support the show through Patreon. My guest this week is none other than
former Los Angeles
Clipper, NBA superstar, Blake Griffin. Now, folks, it should come as no
surprise that I've never
taken it to the rack. I've never caught a body at the rim. So, you know, it
would be easy to focus
on the things that differentiate myself from a guy like Blake. But in my
research, I was taken aback
by just how much we had in common. So, without further ado, this.
If you're a newer fan of The Adam Friedland Show, you know me as a public
intellectual. But what you may
not know is that at one time, I was a nightclub comedian. I used to spend my
weekends on the road
going town to town peddling jokes for adoring fans. But life on the road was
lonely, and before
long I turned to alcohol, drugs, even plus-size models. I was on a highway to
hell. But then, one
event woke me up. The second election of Donald John Trump. A tragedy that even
my substance-riddled
brain found hard to comprehend. When I looked around at my peers, it seemed
like more and
more of them were bending the knee to fascism. As a lifelong Democrat, I no
longer had a home
in the world of comedy. So I walked away. It's been eight months now. I got
sober. I quit
having sex. My new vice is The Adam Friedland Show, and celebrity interviews
keep me high 40
hours a week. This week, my guest was Blake Griffin, who is both a world-class
athlete, and also
a world-class comedian. While I'd be fine being dominated mano-e-mano by Mr.
Griffin on the
b-ball court, it would be an utter humiliation to get posterized by him in the
sport of comedy.
Preparing for an interview is a lot like preparing for a world championship
game of hoops. So in
order to get back in shape, I needed to get back in the gym.
It was time for me to dust off the old microphone. In the biz, we call it a
drop-in. A famous
comedian visits an open mic unannounced to test out new material. It had been a
while since
I'd been in an environment like this, and admittedly, self-doubt started to
creep in. In my early
years as a comedian, open mics were a second home for me. But maybe I've
changed. Maybe I've
become so comfortable around celebrities that I lost the ability to exist
amongst nobodies and amateurs. I needed
some liquid courage. So I relapsed on alcohol and had a handful of Long Island
iced teas.
Before I knew it, it was my time to grace the stage and show six-time NBA all-star
Blake Griffin
said, "I've still got it." We're going to have a little comedy, everybody. Let's
get things
started. Let's get the comedy stylings of Adam Friedland, everybody. Give it up
for Adam
Friedland.
Thanks for having me.
Give it up tonight. Give it up for everyone you've seen tonight. So Blake
Griffin is on the
Amazon NBA news show. Wouldn't it be funny to ask him if he thinks the workers
should be paid a living wage? Do you think that'd be good?
I take it. Do you think the Clippers owner, Steve Ballmer, ever made Blake
Griffin use the Microsoft Surface Pro?
Do you think, sir?
Definitely.
I thank her for making me feel good. Sir, the question was, is this your
handwriting?
Another crush, like riding a bike. I only had one joke left. My big closer. A
joke I've been working on for years. And if I could get this joke to work, this
would truly be one of the greatest stand-up comedy sets in all of history.
All right. So I'm trying to come up with a title for my new book.
I'm thinking my year of rest and penaxation. Or my year of penis and relaxation.
Or my penis of penis and penaxation.
By round of applause, which one of those do you think is the best?
My first bomb. I was destroyed. Years of my life down the drain.
I'm trying to come up with a title for my new book. I'm thinking year of rest
and penaxation.
Then I realized something. There were probably days in Blake Griffin's career
that he shot the basketball and it didn't go in. But he kept shooting and
shooting and shooting. And that sort of tenacity led him to almost win the
second round of the NBA playoffs multiple times. So if he never stopped
shooting, neither would I.
So if he never stopped shooting, neither would I.
So if he never stopped shooting, neither would I ever stop shooting.
He never stopped shooting. He never stopped shooting. He never stopped shooting.
But you'll be lucky to survive because that motherfucker will ride till the
wheels fall off. Give it up for Gwen.
One more time, everybody. Fantastic. You know, you can have a backing track too.
You can have a somber by the fireside vibe track if you want.
All right. We're going to have some more comedy. Can we get Adam Friedland back
up, everybody? Give it up for Adam Friedland again. Give it up for Adam Friedland,
everybody.
Adam, you don't know me. You don't know me. You remember Cory?
He said you don't know me. Fuck. So anyway, guys, I'm thinking of a title for
my new book. I'm thinking my year of rest and penaxation. Or my year of penis
and relaxation. Or my penis of penis and penaxation.
You don't know me. You don't know me. That's funny. Is that funny? That's funny.
Ball game. That's how it's done, son. Mamba out. I was ready to interview Blake
Griffin. After celebrating my victory with the fans, I headed off stage. And I
went home and attempted to have the best sex of my entire life.
This is Adam Friedland signing off.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special host for the Adam Friedland show
this week. It's none other than Adam Friedland. He stands 6'9", weighing 117
pounds from the University of Hogwarts. Power forward, Adam Friedland.
You don't know me. You don't know me. You don't know me. You don't know me.
Catch me outside.
Yeah, how about that? About Da. So that was a fun comedy bit. Blake came today.
You wanted to do some comedy bits.
Yeah. I prepared one for you today. What do you think about this?
Okay.
Jerry Maguire.
No.
Okay. All right. Thanks for coming on the show.
Yeah. Thanks for having me.
It's kind of weird. Like, it's just, it's strange for me because it's like, I
don't know. I took, I guess we have to maximize the time that we have left.
Yeah.
It's like, it just took so long for us to find each other. But like, you never
really find a twin flame. Like, you know, like, sometimes people go throughout
life without finding like,
Type shit.
Yeah. Yeah. Type shit.
Type shit.
And it's like, I love this guy. We're like, we immediately bonded. We had a
general meeting once. And my managers told me to pitch you on doing a sports
podcast together.
And I was like, you know, I can get blue shoe. I can get like, I could get hymns.
You know, this podcast thing is going big. And then I was like, career earnings,
$261 million.
And I was like, like, what gave me the right to even think that I was capable
of doing that. But I think, I think, I think you were well within your rights.
Yeah. Are we going to do it? This could be the pilot episode.
Yeah, this could be. I mean, I just introed you.
I know it kind of went okay.
I mean, you're sitting up all the way.
I want to.
Okay.
It just feels like I'm.
So yeah. All right. So you're here for the Amazon upfronts.
Yes.
You're going to be, you're joining the studio crew of Amazon.
I am. I'll be in studio and an in studio analyst.
Uh huh. And you got, you have a crazy wacky crew. Cause you got to think about
the comedy. Like, you have to like, if you guys are coming for that number one
spot right now, I know inside the NBA or go to ESPN. Is that correct?
That's correct.
So like, you know, you guys have to see what sets you guys apart or something.
Maybe like, you know, chemistry, actual analysis.
That's what people love is the actual analysis on inside the NBA.
Yeah. Those guys.
Yeah. Yeah.
They, it's the, it's the best sports show on TV, I think.
It's the best show on TV.
I think it's the funniest show on TV.
Marvelous Miss Maisel.
Marvelous Miss Maisel.
Shout out to Amazon.
Shout out to Bezos.
The other shows on Amazon.
Yeah. Yeah.
The Boys.
The Boys.
Yeah.
Marvelous.
Did I say Marvelous Miss Maisel?
Miss Maisel.
Yeah.
The Washington Post, of course.
Don't get me started on that.
Another Bezos property.
Do you?
Yeah, go ahead.
Do I kind of say one more?
Yeah, yeah.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Is that Amazon?
Yeah, with Donald Glover.
Yeah, Childish.
Yeah.
Gambino, yeah.
I'd say he's a grown up Gambino at this point.
It's really good.
We'll be right back.
His hands are so big.
It's crazy.
There's a lady in there.
If you, like, I have a question for you.
Do you think that the people that work at Amazon factories should be paid a
higher...
I don't know.
Do you think that...
Do you think that...
I'm not just kidding.
I'm cooking.
All right.
So, wait.
So, you were a younger brother?
I am a younger brother, yes.
Yeah, Taylor was your brother.
Taylor, yes.
Yeah, yeah.
And he was a hooper, too.
He was a hooper.
He played you hard?
Do you think that, like, got you league-ready?
Kind of?
Yeah.
You think so?
Having an older brother.
You just know all the terms.
He's just really...
League-ready?
Do you have high basketball IQ, actually?
League him.
Yeah, league him.
That's what I used to say.
League him.
League him.
Yeah.
Yeah, what's his name?
Jimmer Fredette's older brothers used to make him go to the prison in their
town to play...
In Utah?
No, I think he was from upstate New York, actually.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah.
But he played at BYU.
Right.
They get him to play convicts.
Okay.
And, yeah.
I mean, like...
Yeah, I mean...
It's so funny to imagine a Mormon kid where, like, guys are like, hold my
pocket.
I imagine, like, it's like...
There's zero pressure.
No, the most pressure.
Because you want to miss every shot when you're playing against convicts.
You don't want to go torch convicts.
No, no.
After what they did, I think that's the least I could do.
It's that they owe society a debt.
Yeah.
You've got to play this little white kid.
And, by the way, if he loses, you're in here forever.
I can imagine no one's calling fouls?
No, I don't think there are fouls in prison.
Do you think there's a guy in the league that plays prison style?
Pat Bev kind of...
Yeah, there's a very obvious one you're forgetting.
Draymond.
There you go.
Draymond.
Yeah.
Draymond played prison style.
I think now guys in prison are like, "All right, guys, we're playing Draymond
style."
They're not like prison rules.
They're like, "We're playing Draymond rules."
There was a year where it was a little too much penis.
If you remember.
He was just going penis every time.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Yeah, sorry.
Yeah, well, he also had that.
Well, his penis also...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
His penis also...
Which it happens.
It's like his year of penis.
That's what he's sort of...
My year of rest and peanut...
My year of penis and relax.
Okay, whatever.
Yeah.
Wait.
I went to WNBA semi-finals with my girlfriend and her mom.
How was that?
At
