33
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: We got a lot of questions again. This our first question,

34
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: though it comes from me, it comes from st Last

35
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: night I tweeted out an image that I came across

36
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: on Instagram. I thought it was really fun. It's a

37
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: simple question with a not so simple answer. Because people

38
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: were heated about them this one. The feedback was crazy,

39
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: so I wanted to get your thoughts, guys, which is

40
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: worse when it comes to play and pickup ball outside?

41
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: Which is worse? Shooting on the double rim or a

42
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: net with no mesh? The no net? Does anyone have

43
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: a strong opinion double rim or no net?

44
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 4: I do. It's no net. It's awful.

45
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: I agree, it's awful.

46
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 4: I mean shore, the double rim isn't kind. You've got

47
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: to knock it down. But if you're shooting and the

48
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 4: ball just goes through the hoop and there's no sound,

49
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 4: that's awful. You want to hear and feel the rip

50
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 4: of the ball going through the net.

51
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: It's just that it is terrible, especially especially for me.

52
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: All my shots go in. Then you got to go

53
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: chase the ball because mesh doesn't slow it down.

54
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, one hundred percent agree. I mean, Lee, your your

55
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 5: jump shot is obviously finallyest tuned of all of ours,

56
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 5: so I'm imagining you're not even missing on a double rim.

57
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 5: So I'm not surprised that that's your choice. But yeah,

58
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 5: you got to know that the ball goes in when

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 5: you're shooting it. There's nothing weirder than when a shot

60
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 5: goes in and everybody's like, yeah, was that an air ball?

61
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 5: Did you just completely drain it? I thought you were

62
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 5: a great shooter. What's happening here? At least you can

63
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 5: keep a score when you have a double rim.

64
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: Here here is the problem with the double rim. It

65
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: generally is paired with an atrocious backboard. I find like

66
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: a rock hard backboard. So like you, you have to

67
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: have the softest of touch when you're trying to finish

68
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: inside on a double rim, because that backboard is generally

69
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: not kind when paired together. So it's frustrating. But you're right,

70
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: I'm with you guys that you can sort of adapt.

71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: It helps you work on a little bit more of

72
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: an arc on your shot too. On the double rim

73
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: you to really get it up there. But the no

74
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: nat is just h Yeah, it's just it's miserable. I

75
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: hate and honestly, someone for me like, I don't play.

76
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: My eyes are not amazing, so and I'm not playing

77
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: in contax that perception.

78
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: Definitely don't what you playing. Then you definitely don't what

79
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 4: you're playing. There's no net there, you won't have a

80
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: clue with the ball and even near the well.

81
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: That's that's right. But I need that mesh to help

82
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: with the depth perception. It's a big part. Okay, So

83
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: we're all in agreement.

84
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: Hi, thanks for sending that in ski it's such a great.

85
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 4: I still am amazed by the fact that even on

86
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 4: all the outdoor courts here in Atlanta, they still replace

87
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 4: the mesh nets. Yeah, like everywhere else I've lived. Once

88
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 4: that first net goes, that's it. Yeah, that's you're meshless

89
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 4: after that. So it's great here and the one the

90
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: ones where I play like it only has to rip

91
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 4: a little bit and they replace it.

92
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: It's great, it is nice. It is Do you prefer?

93
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: Do you prefer the nylon mesh or the old chain

94
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: mesh if you.

95
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 4: Can, well, I am actually partial to the chain I

96
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 4: don't mind the change.

97
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: A great sturdy outside.

98
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we used to have it at the alternate

99
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 4: studios there, remember when they replaced and it was never

100
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: quite the same.

101
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you do ruin your ball quicker though, sure, sure

102
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: you really beat it. You beat it up on the

103
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: chain chain match. Alright, let's hear from you guys on

104
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: that one. Which is worse double or no?

105
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 5: No?

106
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: All right, first real question, first real question here, dear

107
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 2: team no dunks. I was just hoping we could get

108
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 2: an update on the state of Lee's Knicks fandom. At

109
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: the end of your last season, he basically seemed like

110
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: he was going to be the resident Knicks fan. What

111
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 2: happened that question from Gordon? Oh yeah, let's.

112
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: Really let's recap because it's easy to forget why Lee

113
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: is a huge Knicks fan. Okay, go ahead, because during

114
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: a Knicks broadcast last year after the trade of Kristaps Porzingus,

115
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: they put up an image of a full screen image

116
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: with all of Kristap's quote unquote accomplishments and some of

117
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,559
Speaker 3: his not so great accomplishments, including has not played since

118
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 3: or did not play since X date because of a

119
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: knee injury, and missed x amount of games because of

120
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 3: the knee injury. So that was a bit of a

121
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 3: kicking him on the way out, and we acknowledged that

122
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: on the show. However, somebody within the Knicks organization took

123
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 3: offense to that, and the PR person contacted us, and

124
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 3: Lee took the call and Lee and Lee heard this

125
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: man out who basically said, you know, the MSG network

126
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 3: which broadcasts the game is a separate entity from the Knicks.

127
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: And Lee came up to us and voiced all those opinions,

128
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: and we said, sure, okay, but the Knicks own MSG. Somebody,

129
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: somebody has to be accountable for that. And then Leeve's

130
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: in his pocket for that PR person's pocket for the

131
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 3: rest of the season. Now he's a huge Knicks Yeah.

132
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 4: And I was also in New York and I went

133
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 4: to the Guard got a couple of tickets.

134
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can buy me.

135
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 4: I'm fine.

136
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: You haven't mentioned the Knicks and all this season, No.

137
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: I haven't.

138
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 5: You know what though, you must have been crushed when

139
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 5: they struck out in free aated Well.

140
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, true. It was a pretty typical yet devastating

141
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 4: summer for the Knicks. You know, they didn't they traded

142
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 4: all that pausingis and hoping to get Zion. They ended

143
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 4: up with j Barrett, who's actually leading him in scoring.

144
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 4: He's been good, but uh, and I also like Marcus

145
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 4: Morris when he basically bopps Justin Anderson out of the

146
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 4: league in the preseason. That was a funny moment. You

147
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 4: want to you know that that game against Brooklyn. You

148
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 4: want to see the next maybe start to improve again.

149
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 4: But they're one of three right now. They're only victory

150
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 4: came against Trey's Bulls there. So I mean, look, there's

151
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 4: some positive signs. Kevin Knox's coming off the bench is

152
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 4: actually looking comfortable in that role, so that's good. But

153
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 4: you just feel chaos and drama is not too far

154
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: away from there. I already saw I think it was

155
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 4: Chris Mannix had an article out that David Fizdale's position

156
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: is already kind of on the hot seat, which which feels,

157
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: you know, absolutely right with the next instant success and

158
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: not prepared to go through the motions to get it.

159
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 4: One player I haven't enjoyed watching so far as Julius Randall.

160
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 4: He doesn't he's he shouldn't dribble the ball. He hasn't

161
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 4: got a good handle Randall, and he always seems to

162
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: sort of get himself caught out even though he's actually,

163
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 4: you know, putting up reasonable numbers for the team. So

164
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 4: I'm following the nixt's to just get that.

165
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 5: Oh come on, man, you're faking the funk. You ditched

166
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 5: the Knicks immediately. All you can talk about now is

167
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 5: how good the Dallas Mavericks are and how great Christaps

168
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 5: Porzingis looks in.

169
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: This new jersey. It's sort of been in the mass

170
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: pocket as well for the last.

171
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm fa sale.

172
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: It's true. It's true.

173
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 5: No wonder you're always wearing those cargo shorts and a

174
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 5: lot of hockets.

175
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: It's odd because we expected them to have a glut

176
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: of power forwards, because they signed all these power forwards

177
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: in the off season, and Julius Randall was probably their

178
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 3: best one. And now it's just like they have a

179
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: glut of guards. They've got RJ. Barrett who's playing great

180
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 3: and taking minutes from the guy they traded for or

181
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 3: got for, christophs Porzingis and Dennis Smith. Franknie Lackin is

182
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: buried on the bench, Alfred Peyton is starting the majority

183
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: of games, Alonzo Trier buried, you know, to some degree

184
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 3: on the bench. It's that has been thrown for a loop,

185
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: their whole guard rotation. Although RJ guy looks like a baller.

186
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Nick's love him already and that you should expected.

187
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: He's averaging twenty seven and five or sorry, twenty seven

188
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: and three. Excuse me with the two steals, No fear,

189
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: it's good for rookie. You shooting a great percentage right

190
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: now too, from the floor and from three.

191
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 4: I'd just like to see the Nick going a bit

192
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 4: of a tail. Win seven in a row and give

193
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: some heart because right now they're already one of three.

194
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 4: You can already see them just dropping further and further behind. Yeah,

195
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 4: that's the I think.

196
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 3: They're starting to use Randall at the elbow more watching

197
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 3: some of their games instead of the three point line.

198
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: And Randall can put the ball on the floor once

199
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: and get to the rim. But from the three point

200
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: line is it's too much of an ask for that guy.

201
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: It's he's just too big. But rjie Berry is showing

202
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 3: no fear of going to the rim, so I like

203
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: watching him play. Though he's not the most athletic rookie

204
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: that you'd ever did see, he can get to the

205
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: hole and he's not scared.

206
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 2: Everybody wants the Knicks to be good there.

207
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: I do.

208
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: I mean everybody's ready for it because the msg is

209
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: is the best arena in the world, and you'd like

210
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: to see it going crazy with some victories they got.

211
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: They're going through some personal tragedy right now on that team,

212
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: with Dennis Smith Junior and Reggie Bullock losing family members

213
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: and you know, Bullocks out with an injury. I get that,

214
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: but Smith Junior missing some games here. It's tough. So

215
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: prayers up to them, of course, and hopefully the next

216
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: can turn it around. But I think it is going

217
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,599
Speaker 2: to be another long season. Do you think Fizzdeale survives ly?

218
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: I hope, so I don't want to get you in trouble.

219
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: Don't see anything you should say.

220
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 4: I think he should, but of course we know that

221
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 4: how things can quickly deteriorate in that city, and particularly

222
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 4: as a coach if they do go on an awful

223
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 4: long losing streak. But I think he's actually the right

224
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 4: coach for some of those young guys because in Miami

225
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 4: he was a very good assistant coach. He would sort

226
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 4: of connect with plays, obviously Diven when you got Lebron

227
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 4: and Bosh and Wade and those guys. But I think

228
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 4: Fisdale needs to be given an opportunity. He's only a

229
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 4: season and a bid in Memphis, so I mean, this

230
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 4: is only the second season in New York, so I

231
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 4: would like to see him have at least three or

232
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 4: four years and see if he can really mold some

233
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 4: of these younger guys into something better. Because I agree

234
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 4: with these kids. I would much prefer to beat a

235
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 4: good Knicks team than to beat up on a trashy

236
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 4: next team.

237
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure?

238
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 3: All right, next email here? Unless I missed something, y'all

239
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: didn't give your guesses for the next player to throw

240
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: up a fifty spot yet? Who you got? That's from

241
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: Greg Solutions on Twitter. Who's starting us off? Who's putting

242
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: up a fifty spot?

243
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 5: The Charlotte Hornets have been pretty bad on defense. So

244
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 5: farther twenty seventh in the league. They got a game

245
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 5: in Golden State on Saturday. Give me Steph Curry our

246
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 5: next fifty point game.

247
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: We'll calling the game very nice. Lee, who you got Well?

248
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 4: We received some good news just before we went to

249
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 4: weir here and that Trey Young did not need an

250
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 4: MRA on his ankle and he's listed as day to day.

251
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 4: So hopefully Trey Young. That means I guess he's going

252
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 4: to miss at least one game, maybe two here, but

253
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: I'm going to say him he's going to be back earlier.

254
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: I've already had a couple of high thirty point games.

255
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 4: I think he's got the game for it to get fifty.

256
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 4: I think we're going to see it from Trey Young

257
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 4: and he plays.

258
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 5: The balls next week.

259
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, they give up.

260
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 5: Some three pointers, so that might be a good one best.

261
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 4: And hope he's back for that one for sure.

262
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: We've had what we've had three guys as of recording this.

263
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: On Wednesday hit forty plus. We had Kyrie hit for

264
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: fifty in his NETT debut, and then we had Harden

265
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: on Monday night going for forty thanks to twenty one

266
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 2: made free throws, and then we had Anthony Davis go

267
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: for forty thanks to what was that one? Twenty six freethrows?

268
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, something like that.

269
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: On Tuesday night, I will go with Harden, though Harden

270
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: has been garbage from three and the guy still manages

271
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: to put up forty. So he's gonna have one of

272
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: these games where he catches fire and the step back

273
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 2: three is dropping and he splashes six, seven, eight, whatever

274
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 2: it is, and I think it's coming sooner rather than later.

275
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 2: Plum me down for James Harden for our next fifty task.

276
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: What you got all good guesses? I went down the

277
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: list a little bit. I didn't want to go with

278
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 3: a stud I like the you know, the dark horses

279
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 3: for this number, So I went with Brandon Ingram, who

280
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: has been who he's been hot?

281
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: That's a dark horse.

282
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's averaging twenty seven points per game for

283
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 3: the New Orleans Pelicans, especially now with he's lots of

284
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 3: shot attempts. He's also shooting fifty percent from the floor

285
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 3: and fifty percent from three. Those numbers won't last, but

286
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 3: the guy's balling out and he's sort of being overlooked

287
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 3: there in New Orleans because all the news is about Zion,

288
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: et cetera. And they play really fast. He's had a

289
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 3: thirty five point game. Fifty is high, but uh, he

290
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 3: could he could get there.

291
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: You could get there, all right. So we've got Curry,

292
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: we've got Trey Young, we've got Harden, and we got

293
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 2: a wild card there in Brandon Ingram.

294
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: Good.

295
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: Good guesses, all right? Next one, do the Spurs have

296
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 2: the best guard rotation in the league? Rights andrew S?

297
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 2: They have Dejonte Murray, Derek White, Demartin Rosen, Patty Mills,

298
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: Bryn Forbes, Lonnie Walker, the fourth, Marco Bell, and Ellie

299
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: It's a spicy one and throwing a rookie Keldon Johnson,

300
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: who these guys are underrated. These guys are underrated and deep,

301
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 2: Rights Andrew Spurs undefeated. Haven't talked about them a lot.

302
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 2: Classic Spurs move, classic, no Dunks move. Maybe what do

303
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: you guys think? Does he have a point here?

304
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 4: Though?

305
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: Best guard rotation in the league with all those guys

306
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: that live just listed.

307
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 5: They do have Keldon Johnson, They're deep, They're underrated Kentucky.

308
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 5: They have no current All Stars though, so that to

309
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 5: me is a major point against them. And you're talking

310
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 5: about the best guard rotations in the league. To me,

311
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 5: it's between the clippers and the nets. With the clippers,

312
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 5: you got Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams, if you want to

313
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 5: consider Paul George or Kawhi, one of those guys.

314
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 3: Is kind of a guard.

315
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 5: Landry Shamman is also there. And then for the nets

316
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 5: it's Kyrie Dinwiddie Karris, Lavert, Garrett Temple, Joe Harris. That's

317
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 5: a really good guard rotation as well. So those are

318
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 5: the top two to me.

319
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 4: I'll throw in the Denver Nuggets. I think they've got

320
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: a very solid core of gods, the Jamal Murray, Monty Morris,

321
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 4: Monty Monty Morris, I'll get that. Don't worry Beasley, Will Boden.

322
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: I think there's some you know, Gary Harris as well.

323
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 4: Throw him in the mix. Like that's a pretty solid

324
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 4: rotation of guys. You know, that guard rotation sort of

325
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 4: shooting god small forward, It sort of fluctuates a little bit.

326
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 4: But I think any of those guys out very very

327
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 4: productive for the Nuggets. So, I mean, the spurs are good,

328
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 4: but you know, and the nets and the clips that

329
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 4: try to mention, but I like the Nuggets.

330
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 3: You said, Trey, they have no current All Stars. It's

331
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 3: a good way of skimping around that. Tomarta Rosen didn't

332
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: make the All Star team, but he is a solid,

333
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 3: solid player for them, hit that game winner last weekend.

334
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 3: As you said, I'm interested to see if they bring

335
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 3: back Tomarta Rosen because of this guard rotation Emailer mentioned,

336
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 3: Andrew mentioned because they've got a lot of studs tomorrow,

337
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: do you want to give him a big contract extension?

338
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: He's he's actually got twenty seven million for next season,

339
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 3: but he's got a player option and they've already guaranteed

340
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 3: the Marcus Ultra just contract for next year. So are

341
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: you gonna go forward with tomorrow in la as your guys,

342
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: it feels like a spursy thing to do right now

343
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 3: to bring him back. It feels like hill opt out

344
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: and they'll give him a Richard Jefferson four year for

345
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: forty million. That's what Richard Jefferson signed for, but a

346
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: discount on that twenty seven million dollars. They're gonna do

347
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: it again. But does that stunt the growth of the

348
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 3: John Ty Murray or Derek Right, maybe a little. I

349
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 3: guess he's they're gonna play him with somebody. But anyway,

350
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: they're good, they're going to the playoffs.

351
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 2: Well, this is the thing. Are the Knicks, excuse me,

352
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: are the Spurs good? I'm not, I'm not. I'm not

353
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: convinced yet that they're really, really good. Now they beat

354
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: they beat the Knicks, They beat the Wizards by two,

355
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: and then then they beat the Blazers. That was that

356
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: was a solid win, no doubt, but a close game there.

357
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: Let I think we're either going to be talking about

358
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: the Spurs a whole lot or are very very little.

359
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: Still again, after we see the week that they've got

360
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: coming up. They got the Clippers, the Warriors, both on

361
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: the road, and then they got the Lakers. I mean,

362
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: if the Spurs play well and get some wins over

363
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: these those teams, then yes, then we're gonna be talking

364
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: a whole lot about the Spurs. They go three and

365
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: that in those three games, then you know they're five

366
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 2: hundred and they're and they're right there. They're still in

367
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: the mix. They're still a playoff team, bubble team, whatever.

368
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: But they're not like, well, well, the Spurs are amazing.

369
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: I think there's a reason why we haven't addressed them

370
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: that much. Fairly kind scheduled to start the season, and

371
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: they have. They weren't even blowing away. The offense does

372
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: look good though, and our email or Andrew does have

373
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: a great point with the backcourt being deep. But guys

374
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: like Patty Mill, Patty Mills and Mark Bell and Ellie

375
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,239
Speaker 2: and all the defense you have in some of those

376
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: young guys, that's that is a good squad, good young squad.

377
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: Especially then you throw into Rosen.

378
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 3: Next email high no dunk sinc. Can we ban the

379
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 3: phrase near triple double? It's the dumbest phrase in basketball.

380
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say I had a near pay raise or

381
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: a near bacon sandwich. I don't think those are really equal.

382
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 3: I got paid more and I bought some bacon with it,

383
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 3: or I didn't. No middle ground here. That's from David J.

384
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 3: Gaunt going for a jaunt with that.

385
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 4: And now, well, I think the triple double itself has

386
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 4: become so watered down, ye that it's not much of

387
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 4: an accomplishment to get a triple double. So if you

388
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 4: get one, great, but don't get near a triple double

389
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 4: because everyone gets one these days. I understand what he's saying.

390
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 4: You know, we are a little obsessed with the triple double.

391
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 4: Still when it's like, yeah, yeah, everyone gets them.

392
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, but what are you supposed to What are you

393
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 5: supposed to say? These are literally just words that mean

394
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 5: exactly what they say. He was near a triple double.

395
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 5: If a guy has ten of something, ten of something

396
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 5: and nine of another, what are you gonna say he

397
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 5: had a double double and another nine he had a

398
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 5: near triple double.

399
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: I think it's fair.

400
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 5: I mean, it does sound ridiculous when it's a guy

401
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 5: is like, you know, twenty seven, seven and seven, Yeah, Brona,

402
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 5: that is close to a near triple double, but not really,

403
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 5: Or when you're like, man, this guy was so close

404
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 5: to a five and five he only needed two more steals,

405
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 5: two more steels. There's a lot of steals and it's

406
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 5: all relative. But near means close, triple double means triple double.

407
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 5: What else is there?

408
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: These are literally words, that's what you're saying, That tra

409
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: that's what you're saying. That's where I agree with you.

410
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: When it can't mean you're right, it can't be like

411
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: eight or seven or something like that in one of

412
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 2: the categories. That's ridiculous, and that's where David's right, then

413
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: you can ban it. But if you're one short in

414
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 2: one of the categories for triple double, I have no

415
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 2: problem with it. I'm with you on that.

416
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 3: How many players got a triple double last year?

417
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 4: Fifteen?

418
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 3: Wow, it's a lot higher.

419
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 5: Twenty eight.

420
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's about thirty three. I can't count

421
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 3: how many players were tied for sixteenth with one triple

422
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 3: double here, but it's approximate over thirty. I'm surprised by that.

423
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 3: I thought it was way more. You know, the amount

424
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 3: that we say it, I guess is it just feels

425
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 3: like it gets around and I agree with you, Lee,

426
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 3: it's been watered down, but it's not. You know, it's

427
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 3: still sort of an exclusive fuck. Yeah, you know. Yeah,

428
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: I guess it's only a sixth of the league.

429
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 4: You know, you're right when you say you're only one

430
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 4: one statistic short. But I guess when people start saying, oh,

431
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 4: he's flirting with the triple double, that could really be

432
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 4: like anything you can have.

433
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 5: Like, oh yeah, you could have like four points and

434
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 5: four rebounds and three assists in the first seven minutes

435
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 5: of a game and you're flirting with a triple double.

436
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, pace it out.

437
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: Thirty seven got it last year. I did it so

438
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 3: eight percent of the league.

439
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 5: Okay, but you got to count the total number of

440
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 5: triple doubles.

441
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 2: But we were just talking about on our daily show,

442
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 2: you know, the Nuggets losing to the MAVs in a

443
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 2: close game, and what's wrong with Yokich. I don't even

444
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: think we addressed that he did have a triple double

445
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 2: in that Tuesday night came. Yeah, I think it was.

446
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: It was it? Yeah, I mean, no one even brought

447
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: it up because I think you guys are right. It's

448
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 2: it's becoming a little less like notable to even mention it,

449
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 2: to throw it in there. It's like, okay, yeah he

450
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 2: got one, but we don't even need to address it anymore.

451
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: So there's something to it. But that got no problem

452
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 2: still with the if you're a ten, ten to nine,

453
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 2: you're a near triple double. All right, our next one here,

454
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: This one's from Ari G. I'm missing all the classic drops?

455
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: Where is my anything could still happen? Shout out to

456
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 2: jo Justin's again that's from Ari.

457
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess that that means we're all missing Matt, really,

458
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 4: isn't it.

459
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: I mean, JD, do you want to break it down

460
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: for the listener? Why are we not having so many drops.

461
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: Well we are. We're on a shaky ship as it

462
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: is right now. I mean, we're sitting at a card

463
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: table in an airbnb in Toronto while three of our

464
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: other guys are in Atlanta, and there's been I don't

465
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: know ten squelches so far that I'm gonna have to

466
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: go back and surgically remove. And the internet connection is

467
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: not great. And all that to say, you know, the

468
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: drops are it's They're going to come back. It's just

469
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: a matter of we got to get ours, we got

470
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: to get back in the same room, and we I

471
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: got to get a system together.

472
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. You are juggling a lot

473
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 2: of balls as it is. Then have to worry about

474
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 2: dropping in a lender exact everyone while right.

475
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: Exactly it sounds so good. Now, how great is it

476
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 3: going to sound? We're in the same room.

477
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: That's exactly right now, and the drops will be flying hopefully.

478
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: Hopefully, that's right.

479
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 5: Just like an NBA team, you don't want to be

480
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 5: peaking the first month of the season. We'll add some

481
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 5: wrinkles to the playbook as the year goes on.

482
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: That's right. And the other thing is that you guys

483
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: can't hear the drops even if I did play.

484
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, the guys in Atlanta, Yeah that's true. Forgot about

485
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 2: that part, So don't worry. They're coming. And yeah, we

486
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: just got to all get back in the same damn

487
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: room slash same damn country first. That's the baby step

488
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 2: to all of this. But don't you worry whole tight.

489
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,239
Speaker 3: This show crosses the border every stinking day, showing what

490
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 3: diplomacy is all about. Next email here, Hey guys, So

491
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 3: the consensus seems to be that the West is stacked

492
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 3: as always, but also wide open, and I'm hoping to

493
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 3: see my Blazers as at least dark horse contenders. Don't

494
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: love Whiteside still, if he can hold it down until

495
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: Nurk comes back and plays within himself, it could be fine,

496
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 3: but we would still need another guy. Gallinari seems like

497
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 3: a perfect fit to me. Obviously there's the injury history,

498
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 3: but he was awesome last year and the Thunder don't

499
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 3: need him in a rebuild. He's a great stresh for

500
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 3: doesn't need the ball, but can absolutely get a bucket

501
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 3: when you need one. He also doesn't hurt you defensively

502
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 3: like Kevin Lovewood. What would we have to give up,

503
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 3: and assuming Nurkish comes back healthy and returns to form,

504
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 3: what would adding gallinery push the Blaezers into or would

505
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 3: adding gallinery push the Blazers into at least fringe contender status?

506
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 3: And that's from Senator Batman. That's how he signed off,

507
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 3: So that's how we're addressing him. Gallinari as the four

508
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 3: on the Blazers.

509
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, in theory, yes, I like it. I think Gallinari

510
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,959
Speaker 4: had a bounce back season last year in Los Angeles,

511
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 4: and I think he's a guy who can stretch the

512
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 4: floor knocks down those threes, and the Blazers desperately need

513
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 4: another guy who can score and shoot to take a

514
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 4: little bit of the heat off C Jane Dame, because

515
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 4: it does feel that when they need a bucket, it's

516
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 4: basically just one of those guys going one on one

517
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 4: to get it, and it works to an extent, but

518
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 4: it hasn't been able to take them well. They got

519
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 4: to the Conference finals, of course last year, but they

520
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 4: do need some extra help offensively. And the rumor has

521
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 4: been out there that the Blazers are interested in one

522
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 4: of those two guys, Kevin Love or Gallinari. Which one

523
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 4: would you prefer? Well, I think Senator makes a good

524
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 4: point that Love, you know, isn't the strongest defender. Aleinari

525
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 4: is not a great defender either, and he tends to

526
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 4: be prone. But I just feel that the Blazers are

527
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 4: still missing that one piece. Whiteside we know, in a

528
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 4: contract season, tends to play harder, tends to be a

529
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 4: better player, But what does that really get you long term?

530
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 4: I don't think it moves the needle all that much

531
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 4: for them. I think they need someone else who can

532
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 4: be a threat to score and to shoot. So I

533
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 4: like Gallinari as a bit of a flyer, but in

534
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 4: the long term, if you know, with with Dame and CJ,

535
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 4: they need someone else who's a little bit more reliable.

536
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 4: So I think the player is going to be like

537
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 4: kind of where they were last season. A good team

538
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 4: you know, will make the playoffs, but still they are

539
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 4: a little short of a true contender for me right now.

540
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, Whiteside playing well is mutually beneficial to everybody, Like

541
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 5: you're saying, he's in a contract here, so he's trying

542
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 5: to put up numbers, trying to have an impact, and

543
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 5: the Blazers need a big gay right now. They need

544
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 5: him to stop up minutes until Nurkis's back. And you know,

545
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 5: the better he looks, the more trade value he has,

546
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 5: the more chance he has a getting a better contract.

547
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 5: So having Whiteside be decent this year is huge for

548
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 5: the Blazers, and I'm with you. I think they need

549
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 5: more than just one piece, though I don't think Gallinari

550
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 5: or Kevin Love alone is the answer. That's why to me,

551
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 5: mister brainwashing, the trade machine got busy last night. You

552
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 5: could trade us on Whiteside for Marvin Williams and MKG.

553
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 5: I don't know, but you could do it. That's two guys.

554
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 5: To me, it seems like they need a little bit

555
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 5: more big man help, a little bit more shooting, and

556
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 5: a little bit more wing help. You can't get all

557
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 5: of that from either Gallinari or Kevin Love. But Whiteside

558
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 5: has such a big contract. He's at like twenty seven mil.

559
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 5: You can find a way to split that up between

560
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 5: two different players, whether that's on a three team trade,

561
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 5: which is too crazy for me to even try and

562
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 5: figure out clicking around there, or looking at a couple

563
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 5: of smaller contracts that add up to Whiteside's number.

564
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 2: I love the idea of Gallinari on the Blazers, if

565
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: they could make it happen. He's been playing well to

566
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: start the season again here for the Thunder. He's like

567
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 2: a twenty point per game score, you know, five boards,

568
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 2: two assists. He's shooting great, He's forty two percent from

569
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: three on a lot of attempts, six attempts per game.

570
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: He's he's an.

571
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: Expiring contract, you know. I think he makes something like

572
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 2: twenty two million dollars dollars a year. Kevin love you

573
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: trading for him, You're obviously trading for for a bigger,

574
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 2: longer contract, not that he couldn't help you. One of

575
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 2: those guys would make sense in Portland. I do believe

576
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: that to pair with your explosive backcourt, to have a

577
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 2: little scoring in your front court as well, especially while

578
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: Nurkic is out. I think there are deals to be

579
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 2: made here for Gallinari. There's no doubt that he'd be

580
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 2: on the block for the Thunder, Like, why wouldn't they

581
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 2: look to move him and gets more pieces back. They

582
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 2: have a million draft picks as it is, and some

583
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 2: young talent there, but they're always looking for more. I'm sure,

584
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 2: so this is something you could see happening. I buy it.

585
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 3: They would definitely want him in that lineup. It's a

586
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 3: little bit of a worry that Danilo Gallinari in his

587
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 3: expiring contract year. Yeah, you know, he'll be thirty two

588
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 3: next season. It seems like a Blazer's team that would

589
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 3: overpay him to stick around and then you know he

590
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: he's been good. It was great last year for the Clippers,

591
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 3: but he does miss a lot of games, and is

592
00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: he going to be great going into his mid thirties.

593
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. He would help this year right now

594
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 3: for sure. And the Blazers send back a young guy.

595
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if they would send an Anfredy Simons

596
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 3: plus and expiring in camp Basemore. I mean, they love Simons,

597
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 3: but you know, a young plus plus that bays.

598
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: Moore Simon is not going anywhere. I guess it'd be

599
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: like a Gary Trent or something.

600
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, but I can't Wow, Yeah, why would they

601
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 3: do that.

602
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 2: They're not trading Sigmons for a Gallinari, especially as an

603
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: expiring deal.

604
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 3: I guess. I guess, so then you're not getting them,

605
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 3: I don't think. I mean, yeah, if you want Gary Trent.

606
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 2: Sure, maybe they do. Just a mo Ullinari.

607
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but he's expiring.

608
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 2: Yeah no, I know, I know. I mean just to

609
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 2: get an asset though, and he's gonna be walking probably

610
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 2: as it is if you waited to the off season.

611
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll see. Great question, Senator Batman. Next one,

612
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: Oh it's not Senator Batman, but Lee. Listen to this.

613
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: This one's from Joey Pribble scribble. Yeah, DJ, that's right,

614
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 2: Hello TV slash Starters slash No Dunkers. One of my

615
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 2: best friends, John is getting married in a few weeks

616
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: and I have the honor of giving a speech at

617
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 2: his wedding. I've known him for just over a decade

618
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: and he is the one who introduced me to podcasts,

619
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: which indirectly led me to you guys. When we first met,

620
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: John was never interested in sports. After recommending your podcast,

621
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: he is one of the most avid basketball fans I know.

622
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 2: I was wondering if you had any advice that I

623
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 2: could share with my friend about marriage or to me

624
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: about giving a speech at the wedding. Thanks. That is

625
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: from Joey Priple scribble, long long, long time member of

626
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 2: the Tweet of the Week Army. All right, so cause

627
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 2: he's asking for help there, you know, advice for his

628
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 2: friend about getting married, or advice on how to give

629
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: a speech at a wedding.

630
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, the twity the week on me shout out accumulator

631
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 4: is DJ Priple scribbled does a great job there. Wow,

632
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 4: this is a tough one test. Why don't you kick

633
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 4: us off?

634
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 3: It is tough. You've had a little bit more experience

635
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 3: with marriage, Lee than I have, So Lee, why don't

636
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 3: you take us up?

637
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

638
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 3: Well, I've never given a good speech out of wedding,

639
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 3: so I'm taking myself out of that department. Never hit

640
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 3: a home run.

641
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 4: Same.

642
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 5: I actually think giving a speech at a wedding is

643
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 5: pretty tough. My one bit of advice would be don't

644
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 5: do a countdown. I did a countdown as a best

645
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 5: man speech once and I still look back to it

646
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 5: this day, nine years later, Like, come on, man, what

647
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 5: you're literally looking at note cards for a wedding speech.

648
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 5: Don't do it?

649
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you gave like ten here ten minutes.

650
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 5: Yeah it was me. I was a co best man

651
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 5: for my buddy Nick with our other friend Adam, and

652
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 5: we're like, you know, well, we'll come with these ten

653
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 5: funny jokes. Ten funny jokes. They're not all funny and

654
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 5: it is too long. But no than that, they are jokes.

655
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: That's the number one advice I give you. You got

656
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: to keep it short. You just got to keep it tight, tight.

657
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: Three and five minutes up there. You can do a lot.

658
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 2: You can do a lot in a short amount of time,

659
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: and you don't think he can because you got so

660
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: much to say. That's wrong. You got to edit, edit, edit,

661
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: We really I wish we had Mattio on this podcast.

662
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: That guy's given a lot of speeches as sort of

663
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: a master of ceremony or a best man or whatever.

664
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: He's done a ton.

665
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,719
Speaker 1: I think he would give the same advice.

666
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: I think, Oh yeah, ed, edit edit. It's true, especially

667
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: if you're already hearing a bunch of speeches, as the

668
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: worst speeches are the ones that just go on and

669
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: on and they ramble on and on and you're like, okay, yeah,

670
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: we get it, you love each other, Move on already.

671
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: I like a good emotional speech, though I like to, but.

672
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 2: I didn't say you couldn't be emotional. I'm just saying

673
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 2: you don't need to go on for twenty or actually

674
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 2: stop repeating yourself, because that's what tends to happen. They

675
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: just keep saying the same thing over and over and

676
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 2: over again. Right, But yeah, you can. Don't be afraid

677
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 2: to get creative too. I once did a PowerPoint presentation

678
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: with Ken for my buddy Tooty, because he's a real

679
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: digital guy. So we went with that sort of angle

680
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: and it worked out really, really well.

681
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 4: I'm glad it did because I can imagine if you're

682
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 4: in the audience and people say, all right, I've just

683
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 4: got a little pal points.

684
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: We put some work into that one, for sure, So yeah,

685
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: just keep it tight.

686
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: Don't be afraid to use a prop either. At one

687
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: time I was the best man at my brother's wedding yea,

688
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: and the day before the wedding we went on a

689
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: boat cruise. Awesome. It was in Mexico. It was great, fabulous,

690
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: but the maid of honor was horribly seasick, like puking.

691
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: She puked all over the top deck, she puked over

692
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,479
Speaker 1: the side. She puked for the entire three hours. So

693
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: the next day it was the wedding and she was fine, obviously,

694
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: so when I introduced her as she was coming up,

695
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: I handed her a plastic bag. Killed it was the

696
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: biggest laugh of the n right, and it was it

697
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: wasn't planned. It was just great and she was a

698
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: good sport.

699
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 2: About And what about any marriage tips anything? Just quickly,

700
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 2: what's your what's your one marriage tip?

701
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 4: Always think of your wife to keep her happy. I mean, like,

702
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 4: if you know, because sometimes you get.

703
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: Into a little expense of everything else.

704
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 4: No, I mean you know, sometimes it's hard to back

705
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 4: down if you know you have to compromise. Keep your

706
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 4: wife happy always. I think it's hard to give advice

707
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 4: on something like that because it's so different for everybody.

708
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 4: It is personal, and no one really knows, you know,

709
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 4: why some relationships last or some don't. So I don't

710
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 4: like to sort of you know, it's not like you

711
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 4: just say I just do this and you'll be fine.

712
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 4: I mean it's changing, you change, you grow, you have kids,

713
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 4: you have mortgages, cars, houses. It's tough, man, it's tough sometimes.

714
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: It's the best advice I have heard is from Jerry Seinfeld,

715
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: which is try not to go crazy at the same time. Yeah,

716
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: And I was like, that is so true, and it

717
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: actually speaks to our longevity as well, because the six

718
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: of us or five of us now, we all take

719
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: turns going crazy and having our little moments and our

720
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: little hissy fits or whatever. But yeah, as.

721
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 2: Long as one or two of the people involved still

722
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: in our case are sort of level headed. Yeah, you know,

723
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: eyes on the prize. Everybody chill out. You're right, But

724
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 2: if all five of us are at the exact same

725
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: time going bonkers, then it's not gonna Then it's gonna

726
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: blow up.

727
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 4: It's okay having a long distance relationship in now situation,

728
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 4: then that's probably good.

729
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 2: Every relationship I have right now is a long yeah

730
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: relationship too. All right, hopefully we help you out there,

731
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: Joey Purple Scribble. Let us know how it goes though.

732
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 2: Congratulations to John on the big wedding.

733
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 3: Next email here. Hey, no Dunk Squad, So happy to

734
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 3: have you guys back. You make watching the NBA season

735
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: that much more entertaining. My question for you as a

736
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 3: Heat fan, do you think that if Jimmy Butler retired

737
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 3: today he would go to the Hall of Fame? Well,

738
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 3: I don't need Butler. He's a four time All Star,

739
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 3: four time All Defensive Team, two time All in it

740
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 3: is one most improved and an Olympic gold. Cheers from Joseph.

741
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 3: I know you say what like that.

742
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 2: I know, But then he makes the case and you're

743
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 2: sort of like, wait, hold on, is it that far

744
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: from this is comparable?

745
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 3: It's comparable to other Hall of Fame guys when you

746
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 3: look at strictly the resume there. Yeah, but it's about

747
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 3: reputation to some degree with the voters. And I don't

748
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 3: think Jimmy Butler has that number one guy reputation. Obviously

749
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 3: there's a bit of a cancer in a locker room

750
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 3: reputation that hurts. But it's just it's it's not it's

751
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 3: not just raw statistics. You got to be liked and

752
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 3: you just have to achieve this level of it's like marriage.

753
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 3: There's no textbook, there's there's no there's there's no way

754
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 3: of just I don't know. I can't put a finger

755
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 3: on what voters think because nobody, nobody knows. But you

756
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 3: just have to achieve this level of reputation that you are. Yeah,

757
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 3: this guy's a Hall of Fame guy. Yeah he's in

758
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 3: because some guys have the those stats, have those accolades

759
00:34:59,360 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 3: and are in.

760
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:01,439
Speaker 2: Yeah that's yeah.

761
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 3: I don't but I don't think Jimmy Butler gets in.

762
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 3: This gets in today. I do think if he finishes

763
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 3: out his career.

764
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, you see it written out there.

765
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 5: I'm like, man, that looks crazy. Four times in the

766
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 5: All Star Game, two times All NBA, four times All Defense.

767
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 5: But there are a lot of four time All Stars

768
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 5: who aren't in the NBA. And then you going down

769
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 5: and look at his career statistics, he's got less than

770
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 5: ten thousand points. He's already almost thirty one years old,

771
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 5: so he's not going to really be approaching twenty thousand points.

772
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 5: He's you know, he got a little bit of a

773
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 5: later start because of coming into the NBA after playing

774
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 5: in college for a little bit. He sat on the

775
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,479
Speaker 5: bench for a little coming off before when Luel Dang

776
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 5: was with the Bulls. Then he became most improved player.

777
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 5: Then he became the guy for the Bulls Jimmy Butler,

778
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 5: when he is your best player on a team so

779
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 5: far has been about a forty five win team. They

780
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 5: haven't been like a sixty win team where he's one

781
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 5: of the ten best guys in the NBA. And you're like,

782
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 5: if he's on your team, guaranteed you're a title contender.

783
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 5: If he's on your team right now, you've got a

784
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 5: good team not necessarily a great team. So yeah, I

785
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 5: mean the accolades are there, and he has actually done

786
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 5: quite a bit in his career when you see it

787
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 5: written now, but I don't really think he's close to

788
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 5: the Hall of Fame.

789
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I would agree with that. It is

790
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 2: weird though. You go to Basketball Reference and they have

791
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 2: Jimmy Butler with a higher Hall of Fame probability than

792
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 2: a guy like manud Genobili, which is just you know,

793
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: and I know that's pretty well now we all know

794
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 2: man who's going to go in. And if Jimmy Butler's

795
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 2: career ended right now, I think we're agreeing, yes he doesn't.

796
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: But if Jimmy Butler at this point, having played what

797
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 2: eight seasons, he's into his ninth now, if he had

798
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 2: won a couple of rings, like if he had two rings,

799
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: let's say just say to his name right now, I

800
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 2: think there's a strong case that he would actually have

801
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 2: done enough to get in.

802
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 4: Me.

803
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 2: He's got very comparable numbers and accolades to someone like

804
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 2: Jamal Wilkes who played with the Lakers. He won a

805
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 2: title with the Warriors as a rookie, and then he

806
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: want a couple more with the Lakers, so he had

807
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 2: the three rings, but again he had sort of comparable

808
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 2: like he was like a great two way player, all

809
00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 2: defensive type of guy, pretty comparable to Jimmy Butler college player.

810
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 2: I think is yes, now that's a great point, that's

811
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 2: a grea point, and that's obviously coming into play. And

812
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 2: then of course with Manu, he's got the whole international thing.

813
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 2: But I was also just curious. I compared Penny Hardaway's

814
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: first eight seasons against Jimmy Butler's similar numbers, like per

815
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 2: thirty six numbers, per thirty six minute numbers are very

816
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 2: very similar. I won't go through them all, but like

817
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 2: points per game are nearly identical, the shot close to

818
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 2: the same. Percentage of boards, and assists and steals and blocks,

819
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: blocks are identical. Penny those first eight years, four time

820
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 2: All Star, three time All NBA. So you know, again,

821
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: you know what happens. If Penny doesn't get injured, he's

822
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 2: a lock I think for the Hall of Fame. But

823
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 2: Penny's not gonna make it because really his career ended

824
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 2: right around that time. So there's a long way to say,

825
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 2: like if Jimmy Butler stop, now, that's not enough to

826
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 2: get in.

827
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 3: No, I don't think it's that dissimilar though to managing

828
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 3: Nobili in this Hall of Fame, Candisy, like you said,

829
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 3: managing Nobili gets the rings as not necessarily the number

830
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 3: one guy on a team. Yeah, you know, he's he

831
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 3: could have been an MBF Finals MBT. Yes, that's fine,

832
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 3: totally totally acceptable. But if Jimmy stays with the Sixers

833
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 3: and they go on to win titles, I think he's

834
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 3: got a better shot than of what he's doing right

835
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 3: now with Miami, where he's the number one guy on

836
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 3: a team that's not necessarily going to win. But yeah,

837
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 3: if he he's he's not gonna have amazing counting stats,

838
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 3: as Tree mentioned, like man who only fourteen thousand career

839
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 3: points for Manu in the NBA. Jimmy's yeah, just over

840
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 3: ten thousand. Now if I'm really where am i? It's

841
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 3: a it's not even ninth thousand, So he may finish

842
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 3: around what man Who's got, you know, in that fourteen

843
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 3: thousand range with great individual accolades, not a lot of

844
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 3: champions yeah as well.

845
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but if like and the question is right now,

846
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 2: if you know.

847
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,399
Speaker 3: Yea, no, that's not happening right now. But if he's

848
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: a six time All Star, you know, I think there's

849
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 3: he just needs to play another five six seasons. It's

850
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 3: a little too early at.

851
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 4: A very hot level though too.

852
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, I mean that high.

853
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 4: I mean he's best season the average twenty three and six,

854
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 4: I mean twenty four and six.

855
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 3: Like he needs a ring.

856
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 2: He needs a ring or two and then and then maybe.

857
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 3: There's lots of guys who don't average over twenty that

858
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 3: make I.

859
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 4: Know, But I'm saying like he's had statistically, he's had

860
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 4: one or two decent years and that's bad. He needs

861
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 4: like if he won MVP, maybe then that would give

862
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 4: him a bit more of a boost. But right now,

863
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 4: I mean he's he's just a middling player in terms

864
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 4: of Hall of Fame.

865
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 2: Crazy question, Crazy question, Good question, though that was a

866
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 2: was a little out a left field, all right, Next

867
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 2: one here, guys, Hi, no dunks. I recently moved to Oregon,

868
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 2: and one thing that caught me by surprise was the

869
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 2: Blazers are partners with a local kombucha company, and as

870
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: a result, they have their own Rip City kombucha named Happiness.

871
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: It's made with white tea and rose petals. Oh my god,

872
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 2: well I've had better kombucha. It got me thinking what

873
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: other companies should other NBA teams partner with to produce

874
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 2: a team specific product that would make sense for their

875
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: given market. I'd love to see the Denver Nuggets partner

876
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 2: with a Dispense to produce to produce a specific strain

877
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: of marijuana, or the Pistons to partner with GM on

878
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 2: a vehicle collaboration. Thanks dude, it's great to have you back.

879
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,439
Speaker 2: The tweet of the week Army misses you shout out

880
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 2: to all of you best. That is from the Captain himself.

881
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 2: Wow Wow, Pribble Scribble and wooblioballs.

882
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 4: Heavy hitters and you say you hate the chat, Come on.

883
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 2: That's right. So Woobley knew how to get a get

884
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 2: a question red on this mailbag only episode talking about kombucha,

885
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 2: and Lee just perked right up.

886
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, not a surprise. You're no longer a Knicks man

887
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 5: now that we know the Blazers are making kombucha.

888
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm gotta get hold of some

889
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 4: of that and test it out.

890
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: Yes, you'll get it for free, no doubt. That's a

891
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 2: good question for any other like partners. You'd like to

892
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 2: see between a specific product and a team.

893
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 5: Charlotte Hornets have to offer local honey at their arena.

894
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 5: You know, honey is different based on the bees, so

895
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 5: it depends on what what they're pollinating, where they're getting there,

896
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 5: they're getting their food from, and it really helps with allerguryes.

897
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 5: So I would love to see a small batch local

898
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 5: Charlotte Hornets honey made from actual hornet honey. Do hornets

899
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 5: make honey? I'm not sure, but you know they're at

900
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 5: least closely enough associated with bees that I think that's

901
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 5: a fair a fair argument.

902
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 3: You know, mine's not all that dissimilar. The Grindhouse in

903
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 3: Memphis was what they call their arena. They still I

904
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 3: think they still call it that, even though the Gritten

905
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 3: Grind has moved on. I think a coffee company, whether

906
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 3: it's a you know, a monster like Starbucks or you

907
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 3: know a small Memphis local coffee shop, needs to partner

908
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 3: with the team give every person in that arena a

909
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 3: manual coffee grinder. So actually, we'll take you walk in there.

910
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 3: We'll give you a coffee grinder with beans in it. Okay,

911
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 3: So when when they shout out to pod Bean. Sure.

912
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 3: John Hollinger now knows everything about Podbean, because we mentioned

913
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 3: in the podcast with him. If you don't know what

914
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 3: pod bean is, that's probably understandab. Yeah, so well soon

915
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 3: you will soon. So you're a Memphis Grizzlies fan, you

916
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 3: walk into the arena, you get a manual coffee grinder.

917
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 3: So when there's a big play, let's see if this

918
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 3: drop works. I'm going to do a manual drop here.

919
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 3: This coffee grinder I have in my hand has beans

920
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 3: in it. Now I want every single fan in the

921
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 3: arena when they are called upon to grind their coffee

922
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 3: kind of works. You can pump in, you can pump

923
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 3: in some music, you can pump in some grinding sound effects.

924
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 3: If you're the PA announcer in the arena, you know,

925
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 3: I think that would be a little intimidating to hear

926
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 3: grinding of coffee as you're going up and down the floor.

927
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 3: And actually bought this coffee grinder, speaking of our.

928
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 2: Great are we going to get another noise complaint?

929
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 3: I bought this manual coffee grinder because I mentioned on

930
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 3: the show that I was waking up my daughter, or

931
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 3: I wasn't even waking her up. We're just extremely cautious

932
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 3: parents that try not to make too much noise. Because

933
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 3: I was using a manual coffee grinder in the morning,

934
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 3: that's a big whirr. We're not gonna we're not gonna

935
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 3: pull that out. It's a big So somebody recommended a

936
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 3: manual coffee grinder. I used it once, never using it

937
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 3: again because I just don't want it. I don't want

938
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 3: my wrists to get a workout at six thirty am.

939
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 3: I just take my coffee grinder and I go in

940
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 3: a room that's far enough away and were it there.

941
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 3: So thanks for the suggestion, though it really came in

942
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 3: ninety today.

943
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: Thinking wrap a coffee grinder in a dish towel or

944
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: something like that.

945
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,879
Speaker 3: I or tried that. It works. Oh yeah, it's still

946
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 3: some degree. You're right, you're right, right, right right.

947
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 4: Bring your own dishtail in. What would they be supplied

948
00:43:58,560 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 4: at the arena?

949
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 3: I think he's talking about the noisy one. Yeah, oh right, right,

950
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 3: the electric.

951
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: Can you imagine how great it would smell in there.

952
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, they perk everybody up a little bit too,

953
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 2: that'd be that's a good call, didn't they grizzlies have

954
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 2: I thought we had one on the set Tony Allen,

955
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 2: like pepper grinder. That's right, yeah, right, right right, it's

956
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 2: a little similar. Do you have any you've got to

957
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 2: answer there?

958
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 4: Lead not as good as that, But I know that

959
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 4: smoked poutinery started at Scotia Bank Arena this year. So

960
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 4: isn't there some way the Raptors can I don't know,

961
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 4: like have some sort of event where everyone goes along

962
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 4: and tries poutine because you know, there's still a lot

963
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 4: of people don't know about it. So I still call

964
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 4: it putang, you know, And so I think you need to,

965
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:46,839
Speaker 4: you know, get it out there a little bit more

966
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 4: because it's great.

967
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 3: It's great.

968
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't even know how it was.

969
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 4: Tough coming after the coffee grinder.

970
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 3: I don't think you win after Yeah, let's just leave that.

971
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: Let's go to the next question.

972
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back, y'all are off to a great start.

973
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 3: On your last mail Bag podcast, you asked how to

974
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 3: refer to yourselves collectively. I think you're the no Dunkers

975
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,720
Speaker 3: or possibly the non Dunkers. No Dunk's Crew is okay,

976
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 3: but kind of generic. Maybe spell it k R E

977
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 3: W E for a little more flair cool. Thanks for that,

978
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 3: Cliff Robins.

979
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 2: Cliff Robinson, Oh my goodness, what an honor Robinson. Oh,

980
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 2: it's not that one.

981
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 3: No dunkers or non dunkers.

982
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 2: I don't like no. I don't like no dunkers. I

983
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 2: don't mind no dunkers. I got that one's all right.

984
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 3: But yeah, I agree.

985
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 5: I mean no dunkers seems to be popping up the

986
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 5: most in emails. I don't know, does does that stick?

987
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 5: Perhaps perhaps something else dumb comes up over the course

988
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 5: of making a million shows every week that actually sticks.

989
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 3: But for now, I feel like no dunkers is fair.

990
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

991
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 2: Within this podcast alone, we've had We've been addressed tea,

992
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 2: no dunks, no dunks, ink, no dunkers. You're right, a

993
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 2: couple of times, no dunk squad. So yeah, people are

994
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: just people are trying out everything right now, seeing what

995
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 2: what fits, what clicks. So no dunkers. I think it's

996
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,720
Speaker 2: near the top of the list. That's fine. Great, great suggestion.

997
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: Not Cliff Rumson, not the Cliff Rumson. And our final

998
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 2: email for today, guys, Hey, guys, what happened to the

999

Speaker 2: with all that stuff? Thanks? Keep swishing that email from Todd.

1002
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: Huh oh, I got a lot of them.

1003
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're in your garage. Yeah, well some of it's

1004
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 2: made its way to the studio in Atlanta.

1005
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: Yes, correct, Okay, Yeah.

1006
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 5: We got a lot of art sitting on the floor.

1007
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 5: We got two things hanging up where else. There's a

1008
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 5: there's a bunch of stuff in my laundry room. There

1009
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 5: was for whatever reason, we had a bin full of yarn.

1010
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 5: So no offense to you guys. You ain't getting that

1011
00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 5: yarn back of our kids are in the yard game.

1012
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 5: I didn't realize how many colors we had, but we

1013
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 5: had quite a few colors of yarn that we got

1014
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 5: to find some spots for the stuff room.

1015
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 1: Yeah. Same same with the costumes. My kids I mentioned

1016
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: at last show, found the bin of costumes and they

1017
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: went absolutely nuts. Uh. And I captured probably my favorite

1018
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 1: picture of my youngest son I've ever captured when he

1019
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: found the giant foam penis that was part of the

1020
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: Fat Bastard costume we bought. We didn't realize there was

1021
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: a penis suit in it.

1022
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 2: I still understood why there was a sho.

1023
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 1: Well, we for the for the fat bastard suit, we

1024
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: got a fat suit, and then separately we just bought

1025
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: like a Scotsman costume, right, and we didn't we didn't

1026
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: really look at it very closely when we ordered it

1027
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: on Amazon. And then when I opened it up, there's

1028
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: this huge dong in it. So the idea, you wear

1029
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: the peanut, it's under the kilts and you flash people.

1030
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like three ft long, this thing.

1031
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh my god.

1032
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:11,240
Speaker 1: Okay, So Jackson found it and uh he donned it

1033
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: to school, not to school now, and he ran around

1034
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 1: the house just having the time of his life.

1035
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 2: But not wearing the kilt over it.

1036
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: No, no, no, but for a full effect, he pulled

1037
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: his pants around his ankles so it looked like he

1038
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:36,399
Speaker 1: was running around with this giant schlong. And I've never

1039
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: seen him so delighted. And I was facetiming him because

1040
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm here, and uh, yeah, it's my favorite picture that

1041
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: no one will ever see.

1042
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 2: It's like that photo. We have a.

1043
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 4: We can release that now.

1044
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: We should have both of those framed to just have

1045
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: a wall in the office.

1046
00:48:58,840 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 3: That's our new artwork.

1047
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 2: That's a great idea. So yeah, we We have all

1048
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 2: the stuff that was sitting behind us on our starters

1049
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 2: television show that was on the set there, and it

1050
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 2: was a lot it was all ours. I mean like

1051
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of it was ours that that we

1052
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 2: either got sent in from teams or fans or that

1053
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 2: we just bought or we just had. So we have

1054
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 2: it all and we have plans to actually use it.

1055
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah when we start exploring maybe a video component to

1056
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 2: this show or other shows. So don't you worry, Todd,

1057
