00:00We've got a big problem, Bruno, in the NFL, because Puka Nakua, as a lot of the younger generation, sometimes says stupid things, does stupid things online.
00:09In this case, he was on a very popular streamer's stream, a guy named Aiden Ross, who's one of the top streamers out there right now from a standpoint of views and followers and all that.
00:18And Puka Nakua, being a young guy, is attracted to that type of content, similar to Cam Scadaboo with the New York Giants, which I'll get to in a second.
00:26So anyway, so Puka Nakua is on this stream, and two things come out of it.
00:30Let me do the first, because the first is directly in NFL matter.
00:34But Puka actually said, and not even tongue-in-cheek, he said it just kind of offhanded.
00:39He was asked about the officiating in the NFL.
00:43And I want you to hear what Puka Nakua said first about the officiating in the NFL.
00:47So check this out. Go ahead.
00:49Yes, the refs are the worst.
00:50Some of the rules aren't done.
00:52These guys want to be, these guys are lawyers, and they want to be on TV, too, bro.
00:57The game is, you don't think he's texting his friends in the group chat, like, yo, you guys just saw me Sunday Night Football?
01:03No way.
01:04That wasn't P.I., but I called it.
01:07Seriously, they do that, man.
01:08So if you're trying to hear that, that's N3 on, Neon, some people call them, and Aiden Ross are the two guys on the right there.
01:14But Puka said, when it comes to officials, that officials are just human beings also.
01:19And it's his belief that before a big game on television, that the officials might reach out to their buddies on a little group chat and go,
01:27hey, I'm doing the Rams game tonight.
01:29All right, you'll see me on TV, and we'll call a penalty to get FaceTime on television.
01:37Now, that's a pretty unique take on what I've been saying for a long time, that the officials sometimes carry favor to certain players or certain teams.
01:45I believe that through this entire Kansas City team's run.
01:48But for an active player to come out publicly and essentially say that the officials make up calls, not to benefit one team or the other,
01:58which would be a real problem, obviously, if an active player said that, he'd be fined immediately and maybe suspended for it.
02:05But for him to come out and say it's obvious to him on the field, which we're not, that guys make up calls for camera time.
02:14Yeah, I mean, they have hoes, too, and it's undefeated.
02:18So, oh, yeah, check me out in the second quarter.
02:21I mean, they got hoes, too.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Like, I hate to say that.
02:24Like, if I'm the NFL, I got to talk to Puka Nakua.
02:28I mean, he's going to get fined anyway.
02:30He's going to get fined 100%.
02:31I mean, even, well, we'll get to the other part.
02:33But for just this part, he's getting fined.
02:35Yeah, like, again, and I don't think he meant anything by it.
02:38I want to be clear, he's not suggesting that the refs have a favorite and pick a team.
02:42We know they do.
02:44Or the NFL does.
02:45But he's saying, hey, listen, baby, you want to see Daddy on TV tonight?
02:50Watch this.
02:51Watch this.
02:52Holding.
02:53Like, yeah, very easy.
02:55That's right.
02:56So that's the first thing that came out.
02:57Before you move on real fast, about the Aiden Ross and whether or not it's smart.
03:00Yeah, yeah.
03:01Antonio Brown's attempted murder case happened at Aiden for Aiden Ross.
03:06Yes.
03:06Just to give an idea that he has been inflammatory in the past.
03:09Aiden Ross is now a multimillionaire.
03:11Yes, he is.
03:12Does your streams.
03:13The other kid sitting next to him is also a multimillionaire.
03:16Yes, he is.
03:16He does all these streams with other streamers.
03:18It's like an incestuous thing, but whatever.
03:21Kids love it.
03:22And usually it's very innocent.
03:23Not all the time, which we'll get to in a second.
03:24Not all the time.
03:25Before I get to the really objectionable thing from Puga Nakua, the second thing that came
03:31out of this little interview was that Puga Nakua claims that he's poor.
03:37He makes a million dollars a year without endorsements.
03:41I'm sure he's got some endorsements, right?
03:42He's in Los Angeles.
03:43But Puga Nakua said that he has to rent a small one-bedroom apartment because he can't
03:48afford to live in L.A. on a million dollars a year.
03:52A million dollars a year nets out to be about $450,000, let's say.
03:55In L.A., maybe even a little less, $400,000.
03:57Yeah.
03:58And he's claiming he can't afford to get himself a house.
04:00He has a one-bedroom apartment because he doesn't make enough money to live in the state
04:04that he's employed.
04:05Yeah.
04:06There's a lot of people I know that could make it on a million dollars in L.A.
04:10So no one's listening to that.
04:12I'd like to try.
04:13Okay.
04:13Now, here's the thing that's going to be a problem, and we may need two segments for
04:17this.
04:18Aiden Ross says to Puga Nakua, I want to give you a new touchdown celebration dance.
04:25All right?
04:25And the dance mimics the spinning of a dreidel and then warming your hands by a fire and
04:32then kind of like a, I guess the best way to put it would be the actions of like a miserly
04:38or greedy person.
04:40Like, yeah.
04:41Okay.
04:41Okay.
04:42That type of move, okay?
04:43All right.
04:43I can show it to you just so you know what we're talking about.
04:45Guys, play the video.
04:47So here it is.
04:47He wants him to spin the dreidel, all right?
04:50Kind of flex, and then do the thing.
04:54Now, I'm Jewish.
04:56I had no idea that that is, in I guess some areas of the world, viewed as an anti-Semitic
05:04dance.
05:05I want to be very clear about this.
05:07I've never seen it before.
05:09I've never heard of it before.
05:10And if you would show that to me, you know, with no sound attached to it, I would have no
05:15idea that that's meant to mock the Jewish faith.
05:19I would not either.
05:20And I still don't know 100% factual if it is.
05:24I know that Aiden Ross is Jewish, so it seems odd that he would do it.
05:27But look, self-hanging Jews exist out there.
05:30But it's being viewed across the globe right now.
05:33Absolutely.
05:34As that maneuver is quite clearly meant to be anti-Semitic.
05:41I don't know that, you know, Puka is anti-Semitic either.
05:43I want to be clear about this.
05:44I'm not going to just yell at the moon about something I don't know enough about.
05:48But if that many people view it and immediately react to that dance as, that's an anti-Semitic
05:54anti-Semitic dance, what happens?
05:57Because for a kid on a stream to do it, we can kind of mock it, laugh it off.
06:02No big deal.
06:03And there's no regulation in the stream world.
06:05There's no boss.
06:05You're allowed to be stupid.
06:06Yeah.
06:07Right?
06:08But now take it to the next step.
06:10If it is anti-Semitic, and again, I didn't know that it was.
06:14Mm-hmm.
06:14Okay?
06:15But let's say it is for the sake of the conversation.
06:17Yeah.
06:18If Puka Nakua scores a touchdown this week, all right, and does the dance, does he get
06:26suspended?
06:28Well-
06:28Does he get fined?
06:29Is there an outcry against him from the Jewish community and those who are sensitive to the
06:35unfortunate rise in anti-Semitism in this country and globally?
06:39Does the NFL step in and say, unacceptable?
06:43That dance is forbidden from NFL games?
06:47That would be interesting to me.
