23
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 1: I want to always understand and acknowledge things on certain

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: days it can be difficult for people.

25
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 4: And today is a day I know.

26
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: Going through the day difficult for a lot of people,

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of upset, I would say,

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: across the country, maybe across the globe. And it's a thing.

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: And I want to say we understand that when people today,

30
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: specifically today, got their Spotify playlist of the most listened

31
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: to songs, yeah, very upset that the song they thought

32
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: would be their number one most listened to song was

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: not their number one most listened to song and it.

34
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 4: And and people need help with this, They need help

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 4: going through this. My daughters were most enraged, engaged, and

36
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 4: confused by what it gave their estimated ages to be

37
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 4: based on their playlist. Okay, you've been dead since nineteen

38
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: seventy five. No, but just that curiosity because here's the list,

39
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 4: and look eclectic taste in music. Like their dad, I've

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 4: introduced them to everything ranging from the classic rock, some classical,

41
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 4: you add show tunes, you add what they're listening to,

42
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 4: contemporary stuff, the Afghan Whigs of course, and all of

43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 4: their friends and family and his sword. But they came

44
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 4: out and estimated sixty nine and seventy one years old, respective, yeah, sure,

45
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 4: eh okay, and it's like why and then there'd be

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 4: like one placement of like the for whatever reason. During

47
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: a one big part of her semester last year, my

48
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: older daughter got into the Eagles and was really into

49
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: the Eagles. So the Eagles showed up as a top ten.

50
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: I guess that skewed it. AJ Brown was.

51
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: Number one, Jalen Hurts his number two, Erld Carmichael number three.

52
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 4: I tell you what if I get if I plunk

53
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 4: down a giant pile of money and asked her to

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 4: name half of the NFL's teams. She could not do it.

55
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: When when when Zoe found out today, she was mad

56
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: and she said, Dad, you ruin my Spotify list.

57
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 4: I go, how did I rule? How did I rout?

58
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: Because when when I pick her up we drive places,

59
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: she goes, what do you want to hear? And I

60
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: always say, what are you listening to? Let's listen to

61
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: some new stuff.

62
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 4: Do you know? And then sometimes I say, oh, I

63
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 4: heard a couple of songs for you. I think you

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 4: might like. You know, we do that.

65
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: And so one of the bands that she likes, this

66
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: band that nobody's ever heard of. It's called Big Thief

67
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: and the lead singer is Adrian Linker, and she she

68
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: had this song called Steamboat that's actually a pretty good song.

69
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: So when we get in the car, we says, oh,

70
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: what do you want to hear? Well, let's hear some

71
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: Big Thief and oh, let's hear Steamboat. I love that song.

72
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 4: So we listened to so steamboat this Maybe I can

73
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 4: be your steamboat baby? Like that's her number one song

74
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: on her Spotify list. She's like, Dad, you wrote like

75
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: it wasn't my not I had Dylan and.

76
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: Joan Bias is my number one. It was good to

77
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: be my number one. Now it's not even there anymore.

78
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: She was really mad at me because all her friends

79
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: had to see that. Yeah, Adrian Linker, Steamboat was that

80
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: the number one of her Spotify lists.

81
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 4: But a guess a lot of the friends who would

82
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 4: have been questioning the Dylan in Bias combination as well.

83
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: Man I was, But it's a it's a thing that

84
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: people get really upset over what their number one saw.

85
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: I thought I was listening to other songs. I can't

86
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: I've listened to this song that much. I can't believe

87
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: that's my top five. This is my number one group.

88
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really interesting, but I just see people

89
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: get mad about it. It's like a science fiction movie

90
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: where they're looking at their phone and they're really mad

91
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: and they're like, break it in half. And I go,

92
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: what happened? Did you get bad news? Did someone die?

93
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: Or are you being audited by the I R S.

94
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 5: No.

95
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 4: My Spotify playlist came out and said my number one

96
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: group was Wham.

97
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: I can't believe that.

98
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Like, and then Zoe says to me, well,

99
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: so what was what was yours? Because she thought that that,

100
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, the songs that she played for me that

101
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: I listened to for her that she listens And I

102
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: was like, no, I knew my top three and I

103
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: was absolutely right.

104
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: She really. I said, yeah, you know your song's were

105
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 4: of my top three.

106
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: Come on, dad, I said no, I said what were

107
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: your top three? I said, well, number one I knew

108
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: was going to be The End by Mam. Number two

109
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: was gonna be My Only Angel by Aerosmith. The number

110
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: three was going to be Changes by young Blood from

111
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: the Auzie Show. I said, that's one, two, three right there,

112
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: and that's what it was. And I said, yeah, just

113
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: you don't even know music like that, you even know

114
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: Spotify like that?

115
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 4: She was so hopset. I was like, what did I do?

116
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 4: And doesn't horribly irrational? Yeah, I don't. I don't really

117
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 4: use Spotify, So I'm I was left out of this

118
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 4: because I kept seeing it in my timelines all day.

119
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 4: It's like, here's my top ten. Like that's an odd

120
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: combination of things. Like for me, I mean, like, we

121
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 4: work in sports, so when I'm not doing work stuff,

122
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: you know, music's playing, but generally it's the Broadway. iHeartRadio channel,

123
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 4: You'll or some random You'll be great, go on, I

124
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 4: have the whole world on a play. So I keep

125
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 4: wondering if, like the music Man and now you got

126
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 4: trouble right here Kah in River City, if how high

127
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 4: that would have been in terms of numbers played. But yeah,

128
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: just kind of crazy. It's private Martin. He thinks he's

129
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: ethel Mormon, but sixty nine and seventy one years old.

130
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: That yeah, that's okay, that's all right, that's all right. Yeah,

131
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 4: I think that's a little odd about that sounds about right. Yeah,

132
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 4: my dad, I think my dad actually turns out to

133
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 4: be younger. Really, yeah, yeah, I think my dad. I

134
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: think my dad turns out to be like he's a

135
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 4: teenager because my dad listens, like, what's just number one

136
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 4: Sabrina Carpenter. No, like replet number one is Arrowsmith. So

137
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 4: they think he's like, you know, fifty, like sixty years old. Like, hey,

138
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 4: all right, I'm feeling really good about this. Yeah, he's

139
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 4: got Arrowsmith's guns and Roses. You know, he's got stuff

140
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 4: like that. The list is he is he gonna buy

141
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: the pre order for guns and Roses tickets. You're gonna go,

142
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: oh no, no, no, my dad, No, he's not gonna

143
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 4: go to Corte too. Come on, let's go take Rose

144
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,440

145
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: Come on, let's take look now, he's like a reverse vampire,

146
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: where when it gets dark he's got to.

147
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: Be in, you know, and then when as soon as

148
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: it's light out, he's up and get before they start.

149
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,400

150
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: too tough for it.

151
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:57,600

Speaker 1: the Lions, and I'm you know, hopefully none of my

156
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: wife's family is listening right now, because you know, boy,

157
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. I am not smelling the

158
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: Lions when tomorrow they are injured, and a'man Ross Saint Brown,

159
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: who knows what you're gonna get from if he can

160
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: even play tomorrow night. The Cowboys offense is just hot

161
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: right now, and defensively they're playing a little bit better.

162
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: They're not great. They did all of a sudden turn

163
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: into the Texans. But when you're thirty second in the

164
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: league and you make a couple of moves and suddenly

165
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: you move up close to the middle, you feel.

166
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: Like that improves. What are the eighty five bears now?

167
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: It's like politicians, f Hey, you know what, we're no

168
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,559
Speaker 4: longer lasting reading proficiency for math skills, Like you're still

169
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 4: forty eight, Like we're not fiftieth anymore.

170
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: Look, their defense is really good again. We joked around

171
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: about it with Jason Colebet. They're playing more five defensive

172
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: linemen technique now, or or a five defensive lineman now

173
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 1: because they have all those guys Jerry Jones. Stop getting

174
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: defensive lineman now. But this overall for the Lions. They

175
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: are not catching the Cowboys at the right time. They

176
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: are on a they are looking at a situation in

177
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: which they're without their number one tight end, potentially without

178
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: their number one wide receiver. They're gonna have trouble running

179
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: the football because that's what this Cowboys defensive line is

180
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: gonna do. As good as Jamiir Gibbs is, you go

181
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: to need a heavy dose of him tomorrow night. And

182
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't see the Lions. It's weird to say this,

183
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: the offense they have, I don't see them being able

184
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: to keep up with the Cowboys tomorrow night. It's just

185
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: that this is not a great week. It's not a

186
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: great matchup for them. They're catching the Cowboys at the

187
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: wrong time.

188
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 4: And I get this. It's a vibe thing with the

189
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: Cowboys right now that they can smell that they can

190
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 4: contend in the NFC East a little bit. No, by

191
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 4: the way, don't be surprised when they.

192
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: Catch the Eagles, because the Eagles feel like they're ready

193
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: for the season to be over, and all of a sudden,

194
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: the Cowboys don't as bad as they are now they're

195
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: NFC East champions. Yeah, the vibe of the Cowboys is

196
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: a little bit different, and they're hot right now. Still

197
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: a long way to go right, Still five weeks left

198
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: in the regular season, and is still a long way

199
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: for them to navigate and stay upright living in the

200
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: drama that is Jerry Jones. But Tomorrow night, this week,

201
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: with the Lions being banged up, I see it being

202
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: a difficult week for Jared Goff and a hard week

203
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: for them to score. I almost see this kind of

204
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: like the Commander's playoff game last year, where the Commanders

205
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: got out to a lead, they got up by two

206
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: scores and then all they did was trade scores the

207
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: rest of the way, and the Commanders are able to

208
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: have enough. I see that happening tomorrow because this Cowboys

209
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: offense is just running at such a high level and

210
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: Dak can do no wrong and George Pickens as long

211
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: as it's gonna go for George Pickens in Dallas, sometimes

212
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: he looks like the best receiver in the NFL. Yeah,

213
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: give me the Cowboys tomorrow night.

214
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 4: You know what's funny is, you know when we try

215
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 4: to translate it between reality and fantasy. You look at

216
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 4: George Pickens' numbers from a fantasy perspective, they haven't been overwhelming,

217
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 4: but the eye test is there, the impact that he

218
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: has on the game, the fact that Dak is basically

219
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 4: he's uncoverable when he's got the one on one. He's

220
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 4: the guy I'm going to all the time. And to

221
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: say that while you've got Ceedee Lamb over there as well,

222
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 4: and Jake Ferguson, who you spent a bunch of money on,

223
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 4: and what you've been able to get out of the

224
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: run game. For Dak Prescott, you know, he's the kid

225
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 4: in the candy store. Just decide what he wants to

226
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 4: try next. For that Detroit secondary, it'll be a curiosity

227
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 4: of how they try to approach because you know, you

228
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 4: got two aces, you got two aces that you got

229
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 4: to go after downfield, and Dak's been great with the

230
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 4: deep ball all season long. When we look at Detroit,

231
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 4: Jared Goff has struggled at times, even in the best

232
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: of circumstances. You mentioned no Laporta. I'm on rojer Say

233
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 4: Brown if he played, I'd be shocked somehow. Detroit is

234
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 4: still a three point favorite in Dallas for this one.

235
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 4: Fifty four and a half is your total. So the

236
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 4: expectation is that we get some fireworks for sure. The

237
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 4: kickers will be on display, no doubt. But I love

238
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 4: what the Cowboys have in structure. Now it's putting it

239
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 4: into practice, and we did it. We've seen it a bit.

240
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 4: They had the step up in class. It was still

241
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 4: enough to get the job done on Thanksgiving Day, right

242
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 4: because the early iterations and now you're playing lesser opponents,

243
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 4: so crowning them too early. But now you're looking at

244
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: a situation in a big spot to go claim the

245
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: division to I want to just hear Jerry Crow. Does

246
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: he come out with another turkey?

247
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 2: Right?

248
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 4: And how the hell does he celebrate this one when

249
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 4: he beats the Lions. It's fun theater And look, we

250
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: sit here, we root for the best story. What's the

251
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 4: better story? Detroit on the downswing and trying to figure

252
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 4: out the meaning of life with Ben Johnson shirtless for

253
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 4: the Bears and the Cowboys actually playing meaningful football late

254
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 4: in December. That's the best of all worlds for our business.

255
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this, because we talked about going

256
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: into the game, I'll take the I'll happily take the

257
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: l on this one. Is what did I say last week?

258
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: Chiefs Cowboys forty five million people watch this game. It's

259
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: gonna more people will watch this than watch the Cowboys

260
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: and Giants. The last couple of Thanksgivings where they had

261
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: like thirty eight forty million, said forty five million for

262
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: this game, easy, gonna be the highest rated NFL game

263
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: of the year. I'll take the L because we found

264
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: out today fifty seven million people the most watched regular

265
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: season game of all time in the NFL Chiefs Cowboys.

266
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: I'll take the L on that. I can't believe it

267
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: was off by I can't play, I said, I thought

268
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: forty five million, Like, wow, we dinna get extra seven

269
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: million watching.

270
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 4: This, No, fifty seven million years.

271
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: Suddenly, now everybody's gonna want to play the Cowboys on things.

272
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: We're gonna all people it's gonna be an infomercial for

273
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: our team.

274
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 4: But it always goes back to people can complain. You know,

275
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 4: if you're not a Cowboys fan. Look, if you don't

276
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 4: like it, no watch. And it's the one the best

277
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,239
Speaker 4: thing that we've gotten uh from from some of the luminaries,

278
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 4: and the quote from Kevin Durant in this particular case,

279
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 4: like you don't like it to watch, but it's very

280
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 4: clear hate watching is the thing. And when a team

281
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 4: is working a deep, deep route like they are, I

282
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 4: mean the averaging twenty nine a game. Detroit's averaging twenty

283
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 4: nine a game. But I mean some of that is

284
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 4: you know, we put an asterisk on it given their

285
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 4: current state. But oh, that's say it's entertaining football. And

286
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 4: maybe a lot of them were post malone fans that

287
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 4: we're tuning in for halftime.

288
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. It could be, could mean I gotta

289
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: watch post malone Cowboys chief Yeah, da da da post malone.

290
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 4: Well, but you figured they had to come up with

291
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: something big post malone or Jerry Rowl jelly Roll. I'm

292
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 4: not sure. I don't know which one. Well, Jellyroll lost

293
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 4: a lot of weight. Yeah, so you know that actually

294
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 4: is a comparison networks all right, very good.

295
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,880

320

Speaker 1: Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Two incredibly

321
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: huge stories in the NBA today, Giannis Honi Kacunpo maybe

322
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: an x Buck sometime soon. He and his agent have

323
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: approached the Bucks about what's best for his future. Adam

324
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: Schefter via Shamscarati has said the Knicks were the one

325
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: team that he really talked to wanted to go to

326
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: in the offseason. Maybe that happens again. But however, now

327
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: Jannis set for an MRI following his calf injury. Tonight,

328
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: non contact injury went down. The Bucks have ruled out

329
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: anything Achilles wise, so good news, but the calf strain MRI,

330
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: so who knows how long Giannis is gonna be out.

331
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: We got that, we got Chris Paul, couldn't get along

332
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: with Tylu and the Clippers front office and got waved

Speaker 1: at three o'clock in the morning.

334
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 4: So we're dealing with a lot of stuff. Well, nothing

335
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,520

00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: which will drop sometime tomorrow, will preview how Yannis fits

341
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 4: on the new look Nick Roster. Rick. Welcome in, man,

342
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 4: how's it going?

343
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: You know, at least you didn't say the Lakers.

344
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 6: When you started with Austin Reeves or no, no, no,

345
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 6: the producer started with, hey, now.

346
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: We want up to give up Austin Reeves, be honest.

347
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 6: So I'm just glad you didn't go you didn't go

348
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 6: that direction. But look, I'm gonna if we're all gonna

349
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 6: throw a team in there that is likely to get Yannis,

350
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 6: can I can I throw one out there?

351
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 4: Sure?

352
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 6: Go ahead, there's one. There's one that makes the most sense. Well,

353
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 6: it makes the most sense. There's one that has the

354
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 6: all of the resources necessary and you would think would

355
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 6: be incredibly attractive, to be honest, and that's the Oklahoma

356
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 6: City Thunder. The rich could potentially get so much richer.

357
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 4: That's using that right right now.

358
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: GM's across that you're listening to talk Rick Buker and

359
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: they are sending text Adam Silver right now going basketball reasons,

360
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: basketball reasons.

361
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 4: We don't allow this trade to happen. Basketball reasons.

362
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 6: It's happened before, right right right, Uh, David Stern is

363
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 6: not walking through that door getting So I don't know

364
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 6: that that we're going to be able to play that card,

365
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 6: but you know.

366
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: The fifty nys on the Thunder, I mean we even

367
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: need to play the rest of the season, or we

368
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: could know the trade would happen and we would we

369
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: just have to go right to the parade.

370
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 6: You know what it's gonna be. It'll be Yeah, I'm

371
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 6: glad we got them that one loss.

372
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I been looking at it eighty two and oh yeah.

373
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 7: No.

374
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 6: The reality is the reality is that it's it's going

375
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 6: to be really difficult to make an end season trade

376
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 6: because one of the shadow of Luka doncich Uh, you know,

377
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 6: the Milwaukee Bucks, John Horst, if he's going to move Joannis,

378
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 6: if he's going.

379
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 2: To accept that, and some of this has to do

380
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 2: with Giannis.

381
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 6: And determining it, like if Joanna.

382
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 2: Says I want to go, you know, the only place

383
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: I want to go is the.

384
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 6: Knicks, then they have to make the best deal that

385
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 6: they possibly can. I don't know from everything that I

386
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 6: know about Giannis and everything that I've heard so far,

387
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 6: I don't know that he's going to be that definitive.

388
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 6: And I think it's been reported that it's it's he's not.

389
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 6: There is more than one team that he would be

390
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 6: interested in going to.

391
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: And what's going to be difficult is he makes fifty

392
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 2: four million.

393
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 6: Dollars, and so you're going to have to come up

394
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 6: with a deal where you you basically match fifty four

395
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 6: million dollars and you do it with the addition of

396
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 6: picks and young talent and that because Milwaukee's going to

397
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 6: want a starter kit in return. And that's where it

398
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 6: just becomes really complicated and difficult to make it happen

399
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 6: in season again with the shadow of Luka Datsch. If

400
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 6: you're Milwaukee, you want to know that we're going to

401
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 6: get multiple picks and what those picks are. And the

402
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 6: only reason I say is like with Oklahoma City, you know,

403
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 6: at the end of the year, Oklahoma City could potentially

404
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 6: have the Clippers pick, and that could be a top

405
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 6: five pick. And you're not even looking at the rest

406
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 6: of the assets that they have and all the talent

407
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 6: that they have that they could give up and not

408
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 6: be impacted. And then you just again, I kind of

409
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 6: look at the dynamics because I can make I can

410
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 6: make a case where with the Knicks he fits, I

411
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 6: can't like with the then the rumors are already out

412
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 6: there with the Lakers, he actually doesn't fit.

413
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 2: With Luka Doncic, both.

414
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 6: Of them demand the ball a little too much, and

415
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,959
Speaker 6: you want to space the floor for Luca. Jannis doesn't

416
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 6: do that. So uh, it's going to be interesting if indeed. Well,

417
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 6: I would say at this point, with everything we've heard,

418
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 6: that Milwaukee is going to eventually move Yannis, but I

419
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 6: don't know that we're going to see that happen before

420
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 6: the February trade Deadlan.

421
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: Well, I got two things, Rick, because this is why

422
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: I'd be such an effective GM. Is I could make

423
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: I could make the trade right now Karl Anthony Townsenianni

424
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: is making the same amount of money. I'll even throw

425
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: it up Gianno Noby, and you got to give me

426
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: something else back boom.

427
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 4: I just made the trade. I just made the trade, Rick,

428
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 4: I just made the trade for Yannis.

429
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 3: You did, you did?

430
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 4: You did?

431
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 6: And I'm pretty sure that Jim Dolan would sign off

432
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 6: on that.

433
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: Hey, any coincidence Karl Anthony Towns goes for thirty five

434
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: and eighteen on the day the story breaks that oh

435
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: hey yahs, they get traded and they were talking to

436
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: the Knicks.

437
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,239
Speaker 6: Well, you know what, we may be the reality is

438
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 6: we may be looking past the real story here, which

439
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 6: is I know that they said that it's you know

440
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 6: it has nothing to do with the Achilles. The last

441
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 6: time I heard that was about Kevin Durant.

442
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: Right, and we saw where that happened.

443
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 6: So with the with everything that we have seen over

444
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 6: the last few years, with Jason Tatum, with Tyrese Halliburton,

445
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 6: with Kevin Durant, when I and all of them built

446
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 6: in very similar fashion, I'm holding my breath and I'm

447
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 6: going to wait and see before I think that's why

448
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 6: why the.

449
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: San Antonio Spurs are being so cautious with Johim.

450
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 6: And Yama right now, same thing, right, and so I

451
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 6: let's let's see where you know what the condition of

452
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 6: Gianna Santee compo is first and foremost before we start

453
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 6: deciding where he's going to go or you know who's

454
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 6: whose championship hopes he's going to raise.

455
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,479
Speaker 4: All right, Let's circle back to the other big story

456
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 4: of the day, uh CP three, Not that it was

457
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 4: going well for the Clippers, but under cover of night,

458
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 4: this one gets dropped. All sorts of reports flowing out

459
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 4: of this one. He and Tyler don't talk. He's calling

460
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 4: people out, Rick and normally you get a farewell to

461
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 4: farewell tour and a rocking chair. He got sent home

462
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 4: with a flight from Atlanta.

463
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, well there's a look, there's a formula. There's a

464
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 6: formula with all players, particularly great players, which is how

465
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 6: much do you do for us on the floor and

466
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 6: how much do we have to put up with off

467
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 6: of it? And you always want the ledger of what

468
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 6: you do on the floor to be greater than what you, uh,

469
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 6: what it has to be put up with off the floor.

470
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 6: And Chris Paul has always been a challenging I'm gonna

471
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 6: put it in nice terms. I'm gonna put it in

472
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 6: the same nice terms where somebody said that about the

473
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 6: late Elden Campbell that he played with such effortless, effortlessness,

474
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 6: Like I remember Eldon, and the knock on him was

475
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 6: he didn't play very hard, But now it's because he

476
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 6: was playing in an effortless style.

477
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 3: Rest in peace, Eldon.

478
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: I don't I don't mean to knock knock a guy.

479
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 6: After he goes, but I just the description of that

480
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 6: kind of got me. And it's the same with with

481
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 6: with with Chris Paul in terms of he's just he's

482
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 6: he's always been. He's always been very highly opinionated, opinionated.

483
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 6: He has always had a lot to say uh. And

484
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 6: when you know, he was one of the best point

485
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 6: guards in the in the league and he could run

486
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 6: a team. They were willing to put up with that,

487
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 6: and where the Clippers are right now, it was just

488
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 6: a matter of you know what, Chris, you can't you

489
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 6: can't help us, and you're running everybody you know, telling

490
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 6: us all the things that are wrong with us.

491
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 3: We just we don't.

492
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 6: Want to hear it because you can't do anything to

493
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 6: change change it in real in a real way. And

494
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 6: so ultimately it's too bad because you know, it was.

495
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: Just a little bit of a storybook ending.

496
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 6: Him going, you know, to the Clippers and riding into

497
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 6: the sunset. But it doesn't really surprise me that this

498
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 6: would happen. And the big question is, I don't know,

499
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 6: you know, as much as there are people out there

500
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 6: that are suggesting that he should go someplace else, and

501
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 6: I'd love to see him finish up some other way,

502
00:24:55,840 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 6: I don't see any teams of significance having a real

503
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 6: interest in adding him to the equation because if they did,

504
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 6: they could have prior to him going to the Clippers.

505
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: So you think this could be it for him like this,

506
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: but this might be how it how it ends for

507
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: Chris Paul. Was this a mason We saw him on

508
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: the court, was was a couple of days ago and

509
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: now you know, getting let go on his day off in.

510
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 4: The middle of the y.

511
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 6: I mean, the reputation that I described of him is

512
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 6: very well known within the league. It's I mean, I

513
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 6: just look at look at all the stops that he's

514
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 6: made of late, and he's always been presented as the

515
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 6: veteran leader. And there's certainly been, you know, some guys

516
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 6: that he tutored that he made better. I think I

517
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 6: think Shake Gildes Alexander learned a lot from him, uh

518
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 6: in in Oka.

519
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 2: See. But at this point, I mean, look at what

520
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: he did with the.

521
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 6: Spurs last year. You would think that that tutelage, you'd

522
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 6: want to keep him there. And they were kind of like, okay,

523
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 6: like this is this has run its course. He just

524
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 6: he has. He's gotten to a point in his career

525
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 6: where he's wearing out his welcome and that's what happened

526
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 6: with the Clippers, and everybody around the league is fully

527
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 6: aware of that. So, you know, a place like Houston,

528
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 6: I thought that that might make sense. I just don't

529
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 6: think that they're I'd be very surprised because they pulled

530
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 6: the trigger.

531
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 4: On that Grade two right hip aductor strain. Zion Williamson

532
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 4: to the shelf once again. Boy, I really like those

533
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 4: highlights when I get to see him every couple of months.

534
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 6: Man, it is. I mean, just look at that twenty

535
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 6: nineteen draft between Zion Williamson and John Morant and where

536
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 6: those two guys are and what unique talents they were,

537
00:26:55,720 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 6: and they've basically done it to themselves in one way

538
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 6: with his off the court issues and Zion this is

539
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 6: a byproduct of all those years where he wasn't in

540
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 6: shape and didn't evolve his game so that he doesn't

541
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 6: have to play in some dramatic, vastly you know, whirlwind

542
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 6: style in order to get anything done. Still can't hit

543
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 6: a mid range jump shot.

544
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: Or a three.

545
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 6: Everything has to be going one hundred miles an hour.

546
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 6: So this is ultimately, ultimately what you get. And it's

547
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 6: just it's not hard. It's hard to watch because both

548
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 6: of those guys are such unique talents and we're so

549
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 6: much fun to watch, and yet they there's no other

550
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 6: way to describe it other than they both did not

551
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 6: take their profession seriously. And now as a result that

552
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 6: they're not going to have the careers that they easily

553
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 6: could have because of their natural talent.

554
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Rick Buker, that is at Rick Buker,

555
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: the On the Ball podcast again the Next Future with

556
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: the Honest and now that Joe Burrow is back, can

557
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: the Bengals run the table?

558
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go, Rick, Yeah, let's go.

559
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 6: Let's go. Let's talk about somebody who just wants to

560
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 6: play the game and have fun. Who day yo, day.

561
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 3: Yo, take it easy money.

562
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 4: We'll talk to you next week. You got it, see Rick,

563
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 4: they have time to chase those guys down. But his

564
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 4: point is apt about that twenty nineteen draft. I mean,

565
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 4: now we're talking about r J. Barrett, Darius Garland, Oh yeah,

566
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 4: and Nick Klaxton are your best guys. Our hero can't

567
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 4: stay healthy. But at the top, they were supposed to

568
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 4: change the universe. Man.

569
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was looking it was it was. Zion was

570
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: much more like Greg Odin than we thought. The only thing, look,

571
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: I remember doing the show when he got draft. I look,

572
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: the only thing that's gonna hold Zion back is his

573
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: health and his weight.

574
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 4: That's it.

575
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: Everything else he's gonna be Shaquille O'Neill. He came into

576
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: the league as the second heaviest guy already, So you

577
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 1: knew that was going to be a thing, right, it

578
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: was only teen years old. You knew it was gonna

579
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: be a difficult thing. And he just he's not even

580
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: played in half the games. You're not half the games for.

581
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 4: The Pelicans insert getting drafted by New Orleans doesn't help.

582
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 4: And playing in New Orleans not a good place for

583
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 4: you know, diet, exercise, no taking care of yourself. There,

584
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 4: you know that's not a place to go. I go. Yeah,

585
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna have light salad.

586
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 3: Bread and water.

587
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 4: And that's it. Twenty two game for what he's been

588
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 4: able to give you this year. Sporadic but great highlights.

589
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 4: Oh sure you Adam Silver's happy. Hey, it's a highlight league.

590
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 4: It's a marshmallow world. It's a highlight league. Time.

591
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: How to find out what's trending in the wide world

592
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: of sports from someone who is still suffering from the

593
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: after effects of Chris Paul being let go by the

594
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: Clippers in his Clipper fan extraordinaire Monty.

595
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 4: Bolanos, Yeah, I'm never getting over of this, really, he

596
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 4: was playing like three minutes a game.

597
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: That's not the point.

598
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 4: That is the point. It's that's the point. That was

599
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 4: all the money we had, carri point.

600
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 7: The point is that the Clippers have not handled some

601
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 7: of the biggest players in the history of the Clippers, especially.

602
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 4: Since that's not saying much.

603
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: I know it's not.

604
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 7: I understand that, but even with Blake Griffin and how

605
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 7: that ended, and now with this, it's.

606
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 4: Just like, really, but you know why that's happened?

607
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: Why Clippers stop?

608
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 4: That's one word, clippers.

609
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: You tried to throw a pen at me when you're

610
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: in a different studio, separated by bulletproof glass.

611
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 4: You tried to throw a pen.

612
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 7: I sure did. I sure did get my point across.

613
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 4: Now, if somehow that pen had found its way through,

614
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 4: that would have been some next level stuff.

615
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: You really want to have it too bad. You can't

616
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: do this because you know, you pay a lot of fines.

617
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: But if you had an off the air Clipper podcast,

618
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: like I've talked to you off the air.

619
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 4: Time about this, Yeah, I mean, it's like it was

620
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 4: the the the number of not safe for work words

621
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 4: you use. I mean, we couldn't even get past the

622
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 4: first ten seconds.

623
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 7: No, that's how I feel. That is how I feel.

624
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 7: I'm bleeping mad, Okay, real bleeping bleep bleep bleep. No,

625
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 7: I know that's a lot of sleep, Lawrence frank Yeah,

626
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying.

627
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 4: See, you know what I'm saying.

628
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 3: What are we doing? Clippers?

629
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 4: They won.

630
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 3: At least they won.

631
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 4: All they needed to do is get that negativity out

632
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 4: of the building. No against the depleted Hawks team.

633
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: Thank goodness, we want defeated in the post Chris Paul era.

634
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 4: Do not do you not play like that?

635
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 7: Yes, the Clippers won one fifteen to ninety two.

636
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 4: Shut up.

637
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 3: No, the next one too.

638
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 4: They beat the Hornets. What nineteen to one oh four

639
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 4: New York New.

640
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 3: Five points eighteen rebounds?

641
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 4: What did you talk about?

642
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 3: He's gonna go to the Thunder.

643
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 7: Johns to Google and Chris Paul are gonna go to

644
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 7: the Thunder and they're both gonna get another ring. It'll

645
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 7: be Chris Paul's first.

646
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: You ever see Frankenstein when when everybody was out with

647
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: pitchforks the tower make different. That would be all nbagms

648
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: outside Adam Silver's office if he allowed him to get

649
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: traded to the Thunder.

650
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 7: Yes, I would laugh so hard if that happened, But

651
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 7: you're right, that is exactly what would happen. The Bucks, Yes,

652
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 7: they pulled off a win against the Pistons one thirteen

653
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 7: to one oh eight. Pulled off because they were down

654
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 7: eighteen and they lost onas Onto Tokoopa to a non

655
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 7: contact injury in the first quarter. He left with a

656
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 7: right calf strain, is what they reported. But of course

657
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 7: he's gonna have on MRI to determine the extent of

658
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 7: the injury. Cooper Flag had twenty two points. In fact,

659
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 7: Dallas had seven players in double digits, including all five starters,

660
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 7: and the Mavericks top the Heat twenty eighteen to oneh eight.

661
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 7: Trail Blazers defeated the Cavaliers in Cleveland one twenty two

662
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 7: to one ten.

663
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell, Evan.

664
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 7: Mobley, all of them were playing, but it was Jamal

665
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 7: Murray's night in Indiana.

666
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: He dropped fifty two points.

667
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,479
Speaker 7: Nuggets defeated the Pacers one thirty five to one twenty.

668
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 7: When it comes to the NHL, two games still going

669
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 7: on and it's been all Capitals. They're about to win

670
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 7: their six game in a row the Sharks seven to one.

671
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 7: Very late in the third period, It's about to end.

672
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 7: Alex Oovachkin two goals in this one. Mammoth are crushing

673
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 7: the Sharks. The Sharks the duck excuse me, six to

674
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 7: zero halfway through the third period in that one. Earlier today,

675
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 7: the Star shout out the Devil's three zero. In base

676
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 7: Ball World Series hero Miguel Rojas back with the Doayers

677
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 7: on a one year deal worth five and a half

678
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 7: million woo. When it comes to the NFL, Week fourteen

Speaker 7: Lions wide receiver aarm and Ross Saint Brown questionable to

681
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 7: play in that one. Commander's quarterback Gene and Daniels was

682
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 7: limited in practice today with his elbow injury. Ravenstit and

683
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 7: Mark Andrews signed a three year extension with the team. Also,

684
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 7: the Chiefs Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game is now the most

685
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,640

696
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with My best friend

697
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon. Thanks to Rick Buker for stopping by with

698
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: us a few minutes ago bringing down all the latest

699
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 1: with Giannis and Chris Paul And look, I know we've

700
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 1: been kind of going down this road with the Honis

701
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: for a little while, but nothing is happening with you.

702
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: And first of all, hopefully Giannis gets well, so non

703
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: contact kef injury tonight, the day.

704
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 4: That the reports come out that he and his agent were.

705
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: Talking to the Bucks about Lakers and is it with

706
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: a different team, does he want to get traded he

707
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: gets hurt tonight, the Bucks say no achilles damage at all,

708
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: they've already ruled that out, but with the strained calf,

709
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: maybe he's out for a little while.

710
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 4: Well, I mean we have seen the proliferation like we're

711
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 4: talking about with Rick Buker. I mean, it's one of

712
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 4: those where even if you have the initial diagnosis, there's

713
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 4: still that very wide birth of cautions. We had to

714
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 4: take with this right.

715
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, and this is why this becomes

716
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: a big deal is because tonight we may have seen

717
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: Giannis play the last game he'll ever play with the Bucks.

718
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: Because if he wants to get traded, and it seems

719
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: like he does, now this is an injury that teams

720
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: are gonna go, WHOA, strain calf. We know what that

721
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 1: leads to. We understand whoa. This is a big deal.

722
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: If Jannis wants to get traded, the teams that are

723
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: gonna be in it for him are gonna say, don't

724
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: put him back on the floor. Don't put him back,

725
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: don't put him back on the floor. Get him hurt,

726
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 1: and then this is gone because names are gonna leak

727
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: and we're gonna try to move. Whether it's the Knicks

728
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: or whoever else this is you, you can't put him

729
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: back on the floor. So he's gonna be on the

730
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: shelf for a little while. This trade is going to happen.

731
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 1: This is how it goes. Rare is the superstar that says,

732
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: I'm in a small market. I will stay here for

733
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: my entire career. The Bucks won the title, which is

734
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: a once in a lifetime thing, right, Their last title

735
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: was back in nineteen seventy seven, Right, you won with Yiannis.

736
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: It's not getting any better. Janie has talked about wanting out,

737
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: He has mentioned it, he has alluded to it. He

738
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 1: has sort of implied that potentially he's going to look

739
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: to get out. This was on in the offseason, and

740
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: now today we have the story that, Okay, we're not

741
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: very good this year.

742
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 4: I don't see the future.

743
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 1: We've tried to remake the team after we won the title,

744
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 1: and it's just getting worse and worse every year. He's

745
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 1: going to get traded because this is just how it goes.

746
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: Players outgrow the small markets. They want to play someplace else.

747
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: They don't want to spend time toiling and on a

748
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: team that's not getting better. The Yannis trade is absolutely

749
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: one hundred percent happening by the All Star break, and

750
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: maybe Jannis has played the final game of his career

751
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: with the Bucks. Both of those things I believe are

752
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: going to be wind up being true over the next

753
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: couple of months.

754
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 4: With the timeline, we obviously have a million stories that

755
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 4: come flying at us. But remember Yannis was waxing, poetic, nostalgic,

756
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 4: whatever after a loss last week. I've never been part

757
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 4: of this, right, seven straight losses, and most of those

758
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 4: in embarrassing fashion. It's not hey, narrow buzzer beaters were

759
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 4: right there. It's the recognition that this isn't a very

760
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 4: good team right now. They're not too far back in

761
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 4: the standings. Why, because there's a lot of middling and

762
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,760
Speaker 4: bad teams in the NBA. You want to talk about

763
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 4: the mess that the NFL is, the NBA is right there, man,

764
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 4: And I'm not even including the Thunder. I'm just talking

765
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 4: about good teams. You got a very small group before

766
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 4: you get Thunder, and then there's everybody else who will behind.

767
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 4: But that's it. But even after eight miles, yeah long

768
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 4: eight miles that you still only have a few teams

769
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 4: that you feel confident are really good without making some

770
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 4: other adjustments as we get closer to the deadline. But

771
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 4: Yanni's talking about those things. A couple of weeks ago.

772
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 4: We talked about it on air year at Fox Sports Trading.

773
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 4: You go back to the rumors in the offseason, but

774
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 4: he tries to take the esoteric, learned man approach to it.

775
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 4: Let's let's talk to this out in big grand scheme.

776
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 4: But you look at their history, right, that championship run

777
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 4: was an outlier. It wasn't like they were on the

778
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 4: doorstep repeatedly. It's about your first round exits. Yeah, it's

779
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 4: a bunch of semi final exits. It's not, Hey, we

780
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 4: lost in the finals. We lost in the conference championships.

781
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 4: So like we're there, we're close, and I keep getting

782
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 4: back like no, no, no, that's an outlier season to what

783
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 4: his career the last seven eight years has been.

784
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: And look and the Bucks have tried like sure, nothing,

785
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: this is nothing bad that anything is done wrong. Giannis

786
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: hasn't been done wrong. The Bucks tried to make the

787
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: team better when they saw, okay, we win the championship

788
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: where Giannis and Chris Middleton's the one a. All right,

789
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: that wasn't working, so let's reinvent ourselves. Well we'll go

790
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: get Damian Litle. Okay, now Lillard comes in. This is

791
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: gonna be it. Now the Bucks they're gonna go. And

792
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: it didn't happen, and Lillard got hurt. Now he's back

793
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: with the Blazers, and they tried to make a couple

794
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: of moves this offseason. Okay, we're gonna go raid the

795
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers and try to figure out a new mix

796
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: for this year, and the mix isn't working. They have tried,

797
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: They have tried. Janice has stayed, he has been patient.

798
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: Nobody's the bad guy in this. This is it's just

799
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: simply we're getting towards the natural conclusion of Gianni's time

800
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: with the Bucks.

801
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 5: Well.

802
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 4: But the other part of it is that Giannis, while

803
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 4: he became a national story, like he was a nice

804
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 4: fun how do you say his last name? People still

805
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 4: fight about it, but he became that national run guy

806
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,280
Speaker 4: that year with the title. But people have to realize

807
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 4: he'd been in the league since twenty thirteen. Like this,

808
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 4: he's at year thirteen of his NBA career. He's not

809
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 4: the fresh faced kid anymore or in the year six

810
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 4: or seven. It was a long run before he got

811
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 4: to that title. So yeah, he's looking at his basketball

812
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 4: mortality for for sure. His contemporaries are all dropping like flies. Yeah,

813
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 4: And look, when you're a bigger guy like Giannis, your

814
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 4: prime is not going to go. He's not to be

815
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 4: playing when he's thirty eight years old. Like this, Like

816
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 4: you're looking at the next three four years for Yiannis,

817
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 4: hoping that he stays healthy and that he can still

818
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 4: play at this level. So yeah, the clock is ticking

819
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 4: and by by the All Star break up probably sooner,

820
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 4: and again, I wouldn't doubt if this was the last

821
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 4: game Yannis played for them. What's the over under on

822
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 4: the number of guys that have to sign off on

823
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 4: his health before? Before Drade gets concert?

824
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: Everybody the same number of doctors had ever appeared on

825
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: an episode of Er. That's how many doctors have to

826
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: sign off? How about that? That's a lot exit out

827
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: about a fresca exit swollen. Don't always start with doctor

828
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: Ross And we had Anthony Edwards uh coming up next?

829
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: Goods See other big story in the NBA. What the

830
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: hell happened for a Big three am headline?

831
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 4: Fox
