0:00 [Music] all right y'all so uh this has been going back and forth in the news uh i know we've kind of brought it up a couple times uh but today is not so happy um brittany greiner we thought she was going to get released for what was in arms traded you thought it'd be she be traded unfortunately she has now been sentenced to nine years in russian prison so does that mean they proved that she was in possession of drugs well it's russian prison yeah the gulag i don't think they need that i think it's you don't really have to prove it you know give me a little recap i've been living under a rock so brittany griner is a wnba star okay they oftentimes go to like russia during the off-season and stuff like that to play in just like different leagues and
0:50 stuff because obviously there's more of a seasonal kind of thing for the league over here she goes over there and she has one of those like weed vape cartridge type things on here right but unfortunately timing and diplomacy and politics plays a part in this one because the russia ukraine war and the position of the united states and stuff like that you know in the face of democracy and trying to support ukraine makes it so it becomes a little bit of a political standoff and an example when they catch somebody like a brittany grinder who has a public face so now it's not just like oh you know this uh she's leveraged yeah she's leveraged not just some random person who did something it's like oh we can use this because there's going to be like public facing like backlash for the american people especially if they don't reach out and do something so they're using her as leverage and there was a moment actually like two weeks ago i believe two or three weeks ago when everybody thought that the trade was
1:40 going to happen for a russian arms dealer it was going to be brittany griner and it was like a negotiation for it was like more than two people yeah victor kalishnikov something like that yeah yeah frozen i believe it yeah especially that outfit how the how the turntables am i right yeah turn tables obviously they got to make an example yeah britney griner and so unfortunately now she is facing nine years in a risk you know who you know there's only one person that can solve this it's steven seagal that's true he's friends with yeah he's actually friends with putin maybe jesse ventura hey maybe robin get him in there a little bit robin's a great diploma robin could do it yeah and he also plays basketball so he does plus he does he knows about the game of basketball very well yeah explain he could show putin a couple things about that teacher it's a
2:31 trade that's part of the trip you know it's crazy uh i looked up brittany grimer reiner or griner griner she could dunk pretty well oh yeah wow that's pretty tight do you know what the hoop height was on the video oh it's standard bro like junior high it's not the junior high courts it was like it was like was it fisher price it was play school i played chris jesus but she was doing it between her legs she did the honey dip one which puts her whole ████ up she really but all on the play school oh the play school yeah yeah but she could she dunks in games she's watching this video looking at you going nine years man getting out of here nick done she's gonna kick my ████ ass bro but this is a this is our chance for the longest yard moment this is what's gonna happen yeah right longest yard ah dude cheer me up that's the bright side she's gonna go to the gulag they're gonna be like hey you know the russian guy is gonna be like hey uh
3:21 nice stuff basketball i heard you're a basketball player because she's literally the tallest woman in russia for sure dude you guys watch the video did you guys see the video of her she's really getting walked out with all the russian cards it looks like you could just run away she could beat all her ████ assets she could jump over her head and run and jump over the border the walls only built two of them well they're they're built to standard russian women height which is like four foot five dude that cell must be so cramped russian women the the tallest russian women before britain grinder showed up was four foot five that's the average height freaking stats wait so did any of you guys know who she was prior to this news that's why they don't allow women drivers in russia because they can't see over the steering wheel yeah play ████ nightmare but just that they just look at the dash cam they can only see the steering with the
4:12 lower part so she's not like uh prior to this she wasn't like uh you know like what ████ i'm trying to name a wfba player i can't she's a big she's whoops lisa leslie she is a big deal in the wnba that's all i got i didn't even mean to make fun of that cheryl swoops no she is a big deal in that she's she's a huge dick the truth always makes fun of the wnba harder than anything else yeah in my opinion that's true yeah so uh during the sentencing the judge over there said that uh she had found that grinder intentionally broke the law and also fined her a million rubles which is really about sixteen thousand dollars now she's gotta do the conversion too that's a pain in the ████ ass that's a pretty that's a pretty like does that get a little converted clear ████ up right like you bring drugs into it it is it is it's a russia that's kind of like like even if you go to malaysia
5:02 or singapore have you seen that sign at the terminal it's it's literally like you know like a like a don't walk thing but it's a ████ soldier silhouette shooting like with a gun on a dude's head and it says like trafficking traffickers like no trial you just die yeah wow yeah it's just execution you're like oh wow wow that seems pretty cool they add color to it so it's like red blood wait this is what will happen ████ it and next to it there's like a no durian science you bring ████ durian in here two rules here ████ face same thing blood that better not be a dorian or meth imagine being over there and you're like what the ████ going on there's about this other guy on fire and like dorian like oh ████ that guy ████ up fire or you're like good
5:54 let me join in can i light them up that definitely does suck but yeah it's a freaking crime in another country what can we do about it but apparently she was playing over there overseas a lot right yeah again a lot of people do that uh off uh off season right they they play in different leagues they play in their like home country right a lot of international stars in the nba go back to their home country to play in their summer leagues and whatnot but uh obviously yeah ryan's right at the end of the day like regardless of the situation bringing drugs into a country doesn't allow it there's how much time is she doing so right now it's a nine and a half year sentence uh the nine year sentence was close to the maximum 10 years the grinder had faced under the charges prosecutors asked for nine and a half year sentence greiner's defense lawyer said they would appeal and the defense team said that in sentencing the court had ignored all evidence it had presented and grinder's
6:45 guilty plea damn they were really just like ████ they're like i don't care she pleaded guilty oh you got it no i did it i didn't get it you didn't get it no you did it i didn't man i wish you did sorry all right she's clapping for the plea um yeah uh the she she pleaded guilty july 7th and since then they're they're counting that towards the sentence date but is there any is there any type of thing you know like here you get sentence like 25 years and then go oh you've been pretty good you can go out to the public after four or some sure i think in russia you get a it's a week early you do a full time there yeah yeah they're like seven you get out like seven days early what are what are things that we know to be absolute truths about like russian prisons have you been to russia oh i thought you're have you because a lot of dancers i know
7:36 have been to russia russia is very very different in the winter and in the summer i'll tell you that what do you mean like one snows once sunny yeah you're very good [Laughter] no it's not human no russia i mean russia is a nice place you know in terms of what i experienced being able to go into places like moscow which has really really terrible traffic by the way it took like two hours to get like 30 feet um worse than la yeah yeah in the thick of it being a place like st petersburg is beautiful ecky terrenburg is some place i went that's not so beautiful but still cool a list of things not to do when you go there no no honestly i think one of the first times i went to russia russia for the dance community is one of those places that like they bring you out first it's like uh it's almost like one of the earliest countries that brings people out and it's almost a if you're a
8:28 choreography teacher if you will like you almost have to pay your dues by going through russia and then going to a bunch of other like wow is there like a big dance community there huge dance community how many people just like damn it you beat me probably half of the country dresses like stephen okay that's pretty pretty good now russia's ████ amazing dancers so they have really really strong big dance community stuff like that but they bring you out and one of my first experiences uh going out there because i didn't know that we would have to like you know travel by train from city to city to go teach but they put you on a train and then they have those trains like in harry potter where it's like four beds and stuff and i got put on a train with three giant russian dudes this really compact thing and then it's like an overnight train i've never ████ traveled to teach like this before and so like my entire scope of russia was always like this is a culture shock but i was accepted as that you know what i mean same thing
9:18 like when you go to uh what is it the not red square but um whatever it is zangief we're the main ████ place where london's buried and all of a sudden they have that crazy um like uh candy castle looking oh yeah yeah yeah the kremlin area but like that one particular building like that palace thing they're like one person uh who was our host tetris yeah was telling us how uh back in the day apparently it's like uh they they made uh one a crazy architect come in and build that very very special thing for you know the russian leadership and then after he had like finished or the tsar or whatever after he had finished building that he didn't want that building or architecture style replicated or anything like that so he like ripped out the guy's eyes and like killed him and his family or some ████ what a great thank you wave yeah you're very russian oh that is a legendary
10:08 story but so how was the food was the food good yeah did they just eat caviar every day they really like philadelphia uh cheese uh um sushi rolls philadelphia rolls oh i love philly rolls ████ up this guy's rushing i get the california roll and i get the philly roll that's what i'm saying like a bunch of sushi spots out there but it's only like the westernized version do you think they they only took your ass there because they thought that you're gonna some racist ████ they're like what this what do these people eat i don't know or whatever there's like bread soup yeah well i'm not a huge fan of able to find weed there at all no no i wasn't i wasn't looking nobody ever said hey you want to smoke like casually europe is all about spliffs though in general so it's always like a little bit of weed
10:58 mixed with like tobacco everything's about a spliff so you never like have anything pure and at that time that i was going there there were no things like vape cartridges and stuff like that so like finding weed is like really like you got to really be looking for or like be in that crowd of people i never i never smoked me in russia is it true that you have to do that dance move which is like the ████ the russian leg kicking thing yeah when you go like this that's just dope as ████ yeah have you seen it yeah where they jump into like 540s and land on their knees dance style that's just like one move in that world but the rest of the moves are way crazier than that that's probably impressive that's right the tamest one have you done it can you guys do that not do that no i feel like we all tried doing that in elementary school yes that probably you gotta have mozzarella acl to that ████ i tried i used to do this ████ it's really hard russian right there
11:48 yeah thank you thank you brittany griner something's good because i'm wearing that lock her up for now i don't know how do i look hella russian oh you know what that's interesting i wonder what russian news says about ████ like she brought drugs in yeah i think it probably is something like that yeah it must be it must be very simple no because dude is like i don't know is cbd ████ drugs even like but i guess over there it is she's smuggling so many drugs that's what they probably said to us cbd is like a candle a marijuana scented candle like nobody really thinks it's drugs there was a time though when people like treated weed like it was crack oh yeah yeah it wasn't too long ago 15 years ago madness area yeah for sure they had whole like weird ass videos about it very true too some states still do
12:39 hello people are still in jail for marijuana oh yeah right now yeah which is crazy what's that what's the equivalent of like so she goes there brings drugs gets arrested everyone or not everyone but a lot of americans are like no let her out that's not it should be fine like what's the equivalent of someone from russia coming here and doing something cutting someone's head we're all like you can't ████ do that man and he's like in russia it's cool like what's that cutting someone's head off and then cutting bear's head off and swapping them like come on the real thing i thought you guys like halloween you guys don't like halloween just riding a bear you know what you know what makes me not this isn't russia but that's the way that i view some like uh domestic abuse things you know like some people come from countries where you it's cool it's like all right i disagree with my wife all the time yeah i hit her with shoot
13:30 yeah but if only one shoot would just be one yeah did you walk into a ████ women's like ████ speech thing why is she talking why are you talking on stage i think bull rap plays that the best or you're you're in the you're in the audience and then you're clapping and his chicks are like oh no those are that's for me huh those are for me huh you
