“This man never gets sleep. Dennis Rodman… Jr.,” Jordan said jokingly. Scott was asking to stop the recording because his parents were going to watch it.

“Hey don’t say that on camera yo,” Burrell said. “He never gets his sleep. Single man and he thinks he can hang out all night,” Jordan went on. “If he’s committed to one girl it’s a lie. It’s a lie. He’s out there every night.”

Scott told MJ, “Do not put this on the tape.”  But of course, Jordan wasn’t going to listen to him. When Burrell requested Jordan that his mom and dad are going to watch the footage, Jordan didn’t care and deliberately replied, “Mom and dad, he’s an alcoholic.”
