Sir Smoke calls him ‘Jamarcus Cousins’ and wants to be his cousin to make the NBA. Plus: do doctors actually care about you?
“I want to be that nigga’s cousin too. Whoever this nigga’s cousin is and get me into the NBA.”
These Guys cartoon is back with the most quotable car ride yet
These Guys cartoon is back, and Episode 022 (“Jamarcus”) is pure barbershop energy. Sir Smoke and El Uno ride around and go from NBA name-mixing to doctors, the Hippocratic Oath, and whether an egg is really worth $100k.
That’s the whole engine of These Guys cartoon — one wrong name becomes a whole life plan.
From there it turns into the other classic These Guys cartoon debate: the people who say everything out loud vs. the people who don’t.
El Uno: “There’s some shit like you, just you as you are. Shit to say out loud. The only difference is I know to not say it. I think the same shit and be like… hmm. Bet. Cool.”
Sir Smoke can’t help it. “I’m a very incurative person. If you say something I want to know what the hell you said.”
Then it goes left, like These Guys cartoon always does.
Health. Doctors. Trust. He keeps calling it the “hippocratic” oath and it gets funnier every time because he’s actually making a point.
The conversation lands where only These Guys cartoon can take it — medicine as trial and error.
“You think they experiment on you to help the next person? Absolutely. Well it is a practice. Everything is trial and error. Everybody is not the same.”
Smoke: “Your body might be different… they got the experimental—”
These Guys Final Thought
The lesson isn’t about basketball. It’s about what happens when you say the dumb shit out loud.
Sir Smoke looks crazy chasing a cousin he doesn’t have, but that one wrong name — Jamarcus instead of DeMarcus — is the only reason they end up talking about real stuff: do doctors actually work for you, why everything in medicine is just practice, and what a human life costs when an egg goes for $100k. Ask the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) They will let you know.
El Uno is the other side. He thinks the same wild thoughts but keeps them in his head. Safe? Yeah. But safe don’t start conversations.
Takeaway: Curiosity will embarrass you. Silence will keep you stuck. These Guys cartoon proves the mispronunciation is worth it — because asking “who’s Jamarcus?” is how you learn it’s DeMarcus, it’s how you question the oath, and it’s how you realize your worth isn’t a price tag, it’s the questions you’re willing to ask.
Don’t just ride. Say something.
