<v Speaker 2>end of the show our book club first official meetia

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 2>of the book club. Last week was like a soft

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>launch into the book club. This is the book, eh Conbrooks,

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 2>A Little History of the World. We do that in

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 2>about forty minutes. I was gonna give Demonsay a hard

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 2>time because his book is still appears to be on

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 2>page eleven. However, I forgot my book today, so he

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 2>had his with him, so I'm gonna give him a pass.

0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't mean you're gonna about one hundred and fifty

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 2>pages to read before we're back next week, so you're

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:29.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to get on that. We'll do that in

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 2>about forty minutes. We're gonna talk all things week eight

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>or nine in the NFL. Shortly before we even though

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 2>get to what's not on the show today, I want

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.119
<v Speaker 2>to spend just a moment talking about episode eighty nine.

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 2>So we did a twenty minute discussion about what was

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 2>going on with Kyrie, and close to I don't know

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 2>eighty thousand people have watched the full twenty minutes on YouTube.

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 2>We clipped it down. Our great social media producer LORI

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 2>clipped it down to ten minutes and put that on

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>social and hundreds of thousands of people have watched it there.

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 2>I say that not self congratulatory, but because one of

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>the reasons I am so glad to have this specific

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>platform is it allows for having nuanced, important discussions that

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 2>you don't really have the room for on television, at

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 2>least not on the type of television I do. And

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>whether it be when we were talking about the Brett

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>Favre story or other things we have done where we've

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.639
<v Speaker 2>really been able to kind of peel back a few

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:55.360
<v Speaker 2>layers and get into the things that really matter. A.

0:02:55.880 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 2>It scratches an intellectual and a social justice that I

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:04.080
<v Speaker 2>have that I need to have scratched. But also B

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:09.239
<v Speaker 2>it is meaningful to me on levels that I think

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>you and the audience it's gonna be hard to fully

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 2>understand how much it matters to me that those conversations

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 2>seem to resonate with you, and that those conversations do

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 2>as well, if not better as far as the metrics on,

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>are people actually watching and listening to this than some

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>of our silly sports stuff. So I greatly appreciate the

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 2>folks who are watching live or who have taken the time.

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I had a neighbor of ours on show came out Monday.

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 2>On Tuesday, I was walking decks and a neighbor stopped me,

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 2>and he was and said to me, a friend of mine,

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>who's a Jewish fellow, said, a friend of mine sent

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 2>me your video on Kyrie, not knowing we're neighbors, just

0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>because he had seen it and wanted him to see it.

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>That stuff means the world to me, So I really,

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 2>really appreciate you guys who have vibed with us on

0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 2>that level and give us the creative freedom to do

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>something as silly as a book club that's starting with

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>one hundred year old history book. Okay, now to the show.

0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Here is what did not make the cut for today's show.

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 2>The first college football playoff rankings being announced did not

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 2>make the cut. Dan Snyder exploring selling the Commanders. That

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't make the cut, but Kad had a bit of

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 2>a tweet storm yesterday. One of the tweets was to

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Randy Scott of ESPN when Randy said kat should be

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.799
<v Speaker 2>part of the ownership team and Katie said, I agree

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.280
<v Speaker 2>with you on that that would be fun. And the

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Astros tying the World Series at two games apiece and

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 2>the Phillies getting combined no hit in the World Series. Amazingly,

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 2>none of that made the cut. We will get into

0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers win last night at some point, even though

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 2>the producers didn't put in the show. Every Lakers wins

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 2>a meaningful moment at this point in the season. But

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 2>right now, demonte, where are we starting.

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 3>Let's start off with Steve Nash. After starting the season

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 3>two and five, the Nets and Steve Nash decided to

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.480
<v Speaker 3>part ways. Katie said he was shocked by the split.

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 3>That makes one of us. Yeah, on TV, you said

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 3>that the nets only option is assault the earth and

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 3>start over. Yeah, but Kyrie's laid a scandal and arguably

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 3>the worst game of his career. His value was at

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 3>an all time low. Obviously, yep, and teams aren't willing

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 3>to pay for Katie in the offseason. So if the

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 3>players are, the problem is firing Nash actually gonna fix anything?

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So I'm gonna Firing Nash was a necessary step. Yeah,

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 2>it is not going to fix things right, but it

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 2>was something they had to do with that said on

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 2>the Kyrie thing, I do want to read you because

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 2>we spent so much time on the Kyrie thing. This

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 2>statement a joint statement that the Nets, Kyrie Irving, and

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 2>the Anti Defamation League released. I'm going to read you

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 2>that will spend a moment on what my thoughts on that,

0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll get to what the Nets do. I'll

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>read it quickly. The events of the past week have

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 2>sparked many emotions with the Nets organization, Brooklyn community, and

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 2>the nation. The public discourse that follows has brought greater

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 2>awareness to the challenges we face the society when it

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.839
<v Speaker 2>comes to combating hate and speech. We are ready to

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>take on this challenge, and we recognize that this is

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 2>a unique moment to make a lasting impact to promote

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.720
<v Speaker 2>education within our community. Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.960
<v Speaker 2>will each donate half a million dollars toward causes and

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.920
<v Speaker 2>organizations that work to eradicate hate and intolerance in our communities.

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 2>The Nets and Kyrie will work with the ADL, a

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 2>nonprofit organization devoted to fight fighting anti Semitism and all

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.839
<v Speaker 2>types of hate that undermine justice and fair treatment for

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 2>every individual. This is an effort to develop educational programming

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 2>that is inclusive and will comprehensively combat all forms of

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 2>anti Semitism, am bigotry. That statement within the statement of

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>this quote from I oppose all forms of hatred and

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 2>oppression and stand strong with communities that are marginalized and

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 2>impacted every day. I am aware of the negative impact

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 2>of my post towards the Jewish community, and I take responsibility.

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I do not believe everything said in the documentary was

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 2>true or reflects my morals and principles. I am a

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>human being learning from all walks of life, and I

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 2>intend to do so with an open mind and a

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 2>willingness to listen. So from my family and I, we

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 2>meant no harm to any one group, race, or religion

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 2>of people and wish to only be a beacon of

0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 2>truth and light. End quote. So here's the deal. I

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 2>believe Kyrie that he I don't think Kyrie's a hateful person,

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 2>and I said it on Monday. I don't think Kyrie

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 2>is anti Semitic. I don't think he has hate in

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 2>his heart for anybody. I also, to this day, I

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 2>am not convinced he watched the whole movie, which is

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 2>three hours long, and he implied it was weird at

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 2>the press conference because he was like, I googled my

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 2>name and then this came up, and then this came up,

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 2>and then somebody immediately followed it with did you read

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 2>the book? And he was like, I read a lot.

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 2>I had a lot of time to read last year.

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 2>But like, so you're implying you read the book last year,

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 2>but you found the documentary by googling your name. It

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't really make a lot of sense. So my initial

0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 2>gut reaction and gut feeling from the beginning was that

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Kyrie did not believe that fabricated Hitler quote about Jews

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.439
<v Speaker 2>and did not believe the other fabricated quote about the

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Holocaust not really killing six million Jews, but instead promoted

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 2>a movie felt boxed in and the only way he

0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 2>knows how to get out of being boxed in is

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 2>to punch out, and found out he couldn't punch himself

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 2>out of this spot on the one serious note on this,

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 2>and I applaud him half million dollars half million dollars.

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 2>And I do believe Kyrie wants to unite people. I

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 2>do believe that that the problem is and we don't

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 2>have to spend much time on it. The same problem

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 2>was before that wanting to learn is very very very good.

0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Wanting to learn without the ability to discern. Am I

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.080
<v Speaker 2>consuming good information or bad inform? Shouldn't say good information

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 2>or bad information? Am I consuming accurate information or inaccurate information?

0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Is incredibly dangerous. It is far safer to be uncurious

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 2>dumb ass than to be a super curious kind of

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 2>smart guy that can't tell am I reading BS or

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:58.160
<v Speaker 2>not BS? And to I think Kyrie is super curious

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 2>and I think uncertain thing. He's pretty smart, but he

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.959
<v Speaker 2>is no good at and we said it on the

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 2>previous show, the Earth is flat thing he believed. Maybe

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't still believe it. He believed it, and that's

0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:18.439
<v Speaker 2>because he was presented information. It was compelling, it looked official,

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 2>and they raised just enough questions of well, don't you

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 2>only believe the Earth is round because you've been told it?

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.319
<v Speaker 2>What if you've been And by the way, on the

0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 2>flat earth stuff, nobody has ever once answered this question,

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 2>what's the goal? So it's this multi decade international, highest

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 2>levels of government and science conspiracy to what end. Like

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 2>people that don't believe we landed on the moon, at

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.760
<v Speaker 2>least they can answer the question, well, why would they

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 2>fake it? Well, we were in a cold war with

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.040
<v Speaker 2>the Soviets. We were trying to show them that we

0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 2>had technologically advanced we were trying to raise American morale.

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 2>There were a lot of I don't believe we faked it,

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:06.040
<v Speaker 2>but at least that one. There's a a lot of

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 2>the conspiracy theories out there. They're the reason they're compelling

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:14.679
<v Speaker 2>is that you understand why they would have done it.

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 2>They're covering something up, or they're trying to get you

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 2>to do something the flatter stuff, there was never a win.

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 2>It's like we're just gonna lie to kids from the time. Therefore,

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:28.840
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna get every astronaut, airplane, pilot, government official, scientists

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 2>all in on it, and our big win is what

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 2>nobody's ever answered that. So, but once you'll believe that,

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 2>you'll believe almost anything. That's where Kyrie was. Okay, Now

0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 2>to the Nets, I did say they should salt the

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.960
<v Speaker 2>earth and start over. Here's an unbelievable stat They moved

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.680
<v Speaker 2>to Brooklyn a decade ago. In that time, they have

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:56.559
<v Speaker 2>had on their team Kevin Durant, James Harden, Kyrie Irving,

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Darren Williams. In that decade they

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:12.679
<v Speaker 2>have more seasons with less than thirty wins then they

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:18.199
<v Speaker 2>have playoff series victories. In that decade, they have three

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:22.000
<v Speaker 2>seasons where they were one of the very worst teams

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 2>in basketball. And in that decade they have gotten out

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 2>of Round one twice and gotten out of Round two

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 2>zero times. Here's another thing about the Nets draft picks

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 2>coming in, draft picks going out what they have coming in.

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 2>In twenty twenty seven, they get Philadelphia's first round pick

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 2>unless it's in the top eight. That's what they have

0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 2>coming in, so likely twenty twenty seven first round pick

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 2>unless this be leaves the six Ers tank in five years.

0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Going out this year, Houston can swap with them. Next

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 2>year they give Houston their pick, twenty twenty five, Houston

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 2>can swap with them. Twenty twenty six, they give Houston

0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 2>their pick, twenty twenty seven, Houston can swap with them.

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 2>So over the next five years, if Houston ever gets

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 2>good they get they switch picks, and two of those

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 2>years they just give Houston their pick, which is why

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 2>they need to trade Kevin Durant when his value is

0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 2>the highest, which is as soon as possible. Kevin Durant

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 2>is only getting older. Durant, well, yeah, well here's the thing.

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 2>A couple months ago, I don't know if it was

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 2>the highest then, because I think people thought they had

0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.839
<v Speaker 2>to trade him, you know what I mean, Like, if

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 2>you have to let me get let me do a bad.

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.640
<v Speaker 3>Analysis, value goes down because they know that, right.

0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:57.720
<v Speaker 2>But the fact, so if you let's say, when you

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 2>were leaving Kansas City, you were and you were moving

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 2>here and you said to your friends, guys, I have

0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 2>to sell my car. There's nowhere for me to keep

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 2>it in New York. I have to sell it. They

0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.679
<v Speaker 2>might say, Okay, I'll give you two grand for it,

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Like two grand, it's worth at least three so you'll

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 2>give me two grand for it. But then you move

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 2>to New York and don't sell it. It's like I'm

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.680
<v Speaker 2>leaving it in my auntie's driveway not selling it. Now

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 2>you might get twenty five hundred for it, you know

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 2>what I mean, Like, once you've shown you won't be budge,

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:39.680
<v Speaker 2>won't budge. So I actually think Duran's value slightly higher

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 2>now than it was in the summer. And because he's

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 2>playing at such a high level. Anybody that was worried

0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 2>all the playoffs were the Canary and the coal mine

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:53.320
<v Speaker 2>that he's deteriorating. No, Durance's been unbelievable, unbelievable, scary, right,

0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:58.800
<v Speaker 2>this is so scared and so but they've got no

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:03.760
<v Speaker 2>path forward back. So back to the Kyrie thing on

0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 2>two points one is one of the big reasons they

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 2>traded for James Harden was because Kyrie was taking unannounced

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 2>leave of absences, yeah, and was unreliable, right, so they

0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:24.560
<v Speaker 2>traded Karris Lavert, Jared Jared Allen and all those picks

0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:29.160
<v Speaker 2>I just mentioned five picks to Houston for James Harden.

0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:38.119
<v Speaker 2>They then traded James Harden for Seth Curry, Ben Simmons

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 2>and that one pick. So because of the Harden trade,

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 2>which does fall on Sean Marks, but Kyrie was a

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 2>big reason they felt they needed to do it. They

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 2>traded Karris LeVert, Jared Allen, and five first round picks,

0:15:55.880 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 2>four Seth Curry, Ben Simmons, who right now might be

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 2>the worst contract in the sport, and one first round pick.

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 2>That's the Net in net out total disaster, right So

0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I think the Nets are kid. They lost their first

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 2>game without Nash that the idea that this is salvageable,

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I think is insane. So I think they have to

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 2>burn the whole thing down again. And the only way

0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 2>they can burn it down and have a quick path

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 2>to relevance again since they don't have their own picks,

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 2>is by trading Durant. So I do think that the

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Durant trade still is out there. You know, I don't

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.560
<v Speaker 2>think Durant wants to spend one of the last years

0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 2>of his prime on a bad team, and they're a

0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.920
<v Speaker 2>bad team, and I know we're gonna talk about the coach.

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Nash was a huge part of why they were No.

0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.160
<v Speaker 2>He was a terrible coach. I've been saying that since

0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.120
<v Speaker 2>I felt about him, and that they felt about nt Hackett.

0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 2>You knew it after a month. This guy didn't know

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.680
<v Speaker 2>what he was doing. But they have so such bigger

0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 2>systemic issues and we haven't talked much about it. The

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.199
<v Speaker 2>fact that Ben Simmons might be totally broken as a

0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.120
<v Speaker 2>basketball player is a.

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:11.879
<v Speaker 3>Mad weirdest stories.

0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:16.400
<v Speaker 2>It's sad, man, It's a sad story. Man. He got

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:19.880
<v Speaker 2>so deep in his own head. I you know what

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't again, I don't know. Sadly, it's sad, but

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.879
<v Speaker 2>it also is a good lesson for people. And I listen,

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:31.600
<v Speaker 2>We're sorry. The cluck sucks. I blame the clock. Is

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:33.639
<v Speaker 2>a good lesson for people. And I'm gonna say this

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:39.320
<v Speaker 2>to you, but it means it's noteworthy for anybody, for everybody.

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Uh So, I have not always done the greatest job

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 2>of setting an example of taking care of my own

0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:49.200
<v Speaker 2>mental health and like making sure that I stay well balanced.

0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:53.200
<v Speaker 2>I show kind of some attic behavior at times. And

0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.440
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean when you know when I'm

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.680
<v Speaker 2>really stressed out, I just go, like buy a cigarette.

0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.800
<v Speaker 2>That's not like the way to handle things or whatever.

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.440
<v Speaker 2>And I listen, you're your own man, You're a grown man.

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.479
<v Speaker 2>But I think people always take lessons from their parents.

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.200
<v Speaker 2>I my dad, you know, when he was super stressed

0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:09.880
<v Speaker 2>that I would have a drink, you know what I mean,

0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Like these are not the greatest models. And I have

0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:19.760
<v Speaker 2>tried to sometimes suddenly not sometimes sometimes less than subtly

0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 2>be like, hey you should, I should, we all should,

0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.439
<v Speaker 2>but you should talk to some have someone to talk to,

0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:28.600
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, to make your mind stays

0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:31.800
<v Speaker 2>right right and you like I have been and have

0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:34.240
<v Speaker 2>been hesitant at that. Maybe I'll think about it. Maybe

0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.520
<v Speaker 2>I won't. It's hard to take that plunge. Here's why

0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:43.119
<v Speaker 2>I bring it up. Ben Simmons, number one pick of

0:18:43.160 --> 0:18:47.360
<v Speaker 2>the draft all NBA one hundred and fifty million dollars,

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:52.399
<v Speaker 2>got so deep in his own head about insecurities and

0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:57.440
<v Speaker 2>unhappiness it might have derailed his entire career. There is no,

0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 2>there is no. You can't achieve your way out of

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.639
<v Speaker 2>either unhappiness or anxieties or whatever. Like, there is no.

0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:10.359
<v Speaker 2>And that's been that's been the hard thing for me

0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:15.199
<v Speaker 2>is to realize, like no level of professional success is

0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:18.240
<v Speaker 2>going to fix fill that hole or you know what

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, make me figure that stuff out. And it's

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.440
<v Speaker 2>a good lesson for everybody that And I do applaud

0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 2>NBA players. John Walls talked about it, they have been,

0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Loves talked about it, more open about that. But

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I feel badly for Ben. He can't be enjoying playing basketball.

0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:38.760
<v Speaker 2>The fans boo, it's it's tough, Okay. So that's another

0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.639
<v Speaker 2>thing they've got dealing with. Luckily, it looks like the

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Nets are gonna bring in a coach that I'm sure

0:19:43.320 --> 0:19:46.200
<v Speaker 2>will calm the waters and bring no controversy with him.

0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's get to our next topic.

0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.680
<v Speaker 3>All right. With Nash gone, the Nets decided to go

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:54.520
<v Speaker 3>all in on controversy. What was the supporting there, finalizing

0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:59.399
<v Speaker 3>a deal to hire the suspended Celtics coach Dodoka. Yeah, yeah,

0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:01.639
<v Speaker 3>the Celtics. He didn't even ask for anything in return,

0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.720
<v Speaker 3>which is a pretty bad sign. It seems like there's

0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 3>no doubt that Udoka is a great coach, But no

0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.200
<v Speaker 3>one sure what's really happened. No one sure what really

0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.359
<v Speaker 3>happened in Boston Yeah, am I crazy to think that

0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 3>this actually might work? Which I do believe.

0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.520
<v Speaker 2>It might work. But there's a lot of levels to

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 2>this one as well. Okay, so first one, the Nets

0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:29.240
<v Speaker 2>nobody knows what happened in Boston. That's correct, right. If

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:36.639
<v Speaker 2>it was as simple as a consensual workplace relationship that

0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:41.040
<v Speaker 2>was just against the Celtics rules, that gets messy because

0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:44.360
<v Speaker 2>he theoretically is in a big position of power as

0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 2>the head coach. But there were no complaints, nothing untoward.

0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 2>That's one thing. If it's what Matt Barnes implied was

0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:55.200
<v Speaker 2>going on when he was doing the Instagram video live

0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:57.760
<v Speaker 2>from his car, that it was way worse than that,

0:20:58.240 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 2>and the Celtics' own investigation says there were some crude

0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:05.200
<v Speaker 2>comments or something that takes us different levels. No matter

0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 2>what you would want to fully vet it, the Nets

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:15.520
<v Speaker 2>are gonna claim we vetted this. My question is when,

0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:20.919
<v Speaker 2>while Nash was still your head coach, when what what's

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 2>that it was reported that Udoka was getting this job.

0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Within hours of it being reported, Nash was fired. So

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.680
<v Speaker 2>when either you didn't vet it or you had decided

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 2>you were done with Nash weeks ago and went into

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:41.760
<v Speaker 2>the season with him. That's ridiculous. That's the non basketball part,

0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:47.240
<v Speaker 2>the basketball part. Hralibo's vulgaris who is the greatest NBA

0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:51.000
<v Speaker 2>gambler of all time? He now he made so much demonsay,

0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 2>talk about living the dream. Kral Bob, who's a buddy

0:21:54.800 --> 0:22:00.320
<v Speaker 2>of mine, made so much money gambling and playing poker.

0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:05.960
<v Speaker 2>And he was then an early, early, early bitcoin investor

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:10.399
<v Speaker 2>that he now, this guy was a skycap at a

0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Canadian airport, saved all his money up, became a professional

0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:24.199
<v Speaker 2>sports better little poker, then got into crypto, now owns

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:27.959
<v Speaker 2>one of the prettiest yachts you'll ever see, and just

0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>bought a Spanish soccer team owned CD Castellon. Bought the

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:35.320
<v Speaker 2>soccer team.

0:22:35.440 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 3>I love it.

0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 2>It's and using his analytical models from the NBA to

0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:41.680
<v Speaker 2>try to help you know on soccer they're a third

0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:45.960
<v Speaker 2>third tier team, they're not in the top league, trying

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:49.680
<v Speaker 2>to get them promoted. What a life, right. He made

0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:53.800
<v Speaker 2>the point that Udoka had on his staff Will Hardy

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:57.080
<v Speaker 2>and Joe Mizzoula. So Will Hardy is now the coach

0:22:57.080 --> 0:23:00.600
<v Speaker 2>of the Jazz, maybe the most surprisingly good team in

0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:04.439
<v Speaker 2>the league. Joe Miszula's coaching the Celtics. They haven't seemed

0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 2>to miss a beat, right, So that's not say Udoka

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 2>is not excellent, but it will be interesting to see

0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 2>him without those two guys. How much of the x's

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 2>and o's or whatever were those two guys. The question

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:21.679
<v Speaker 2>will be, of course, will he get the Nets to

0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 2>buy in on defense? That's the question everyone's asking. The

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 2>reason I think that's the wrong question is if you whether,

0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:32.919
<v Speaker 2>let's say the Celtics last year and the Nets with

0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Udoka have the exact same level of defensive buy in,

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:43.719
<v Speaker 2>it's a big difference if you have Jalen Brown, Marcus Smart,

0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Robert Williams and Tatum to throw out there defensively, and

0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Pat and Derek White as opposed to the Nets have

0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:56.440
<v Speaker 2>the thing that everyone's always been like, Oh, the Nets

0:23:56.480 --> 0:23:58.960
<v Speaker 2>just don't try on defense, and they don't have the personnel.

0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 2>They're not crazy athletic they And so will he be

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:08.439
<v Speaker 2>an upgrade over Nash immediately? Will it be enough to

0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:12.359
<v Speaker 2>fix what I believe is a broken roster? Durant not

0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 2>wanting to be there all of that. No, and last

0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:22.360
<v Speaker 2>point on Kyrie Wilds made this point on TV yesterday. Okay,

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 2>so Kyrie's now released this statement, he's given this money,

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:28.760
<v Speaker 2>He's going to be able to come back. What are

0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:31.240
<v Speaker 2>the odds Kyrie Irving pitches a perfect game the rest

0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:34.720
<v Speaker 2>of the year, he doesn't step in it again on

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:39.439
<v Speaker 2>something like our the last three years with the Nets,

0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:44.880
<v Speaker 2>he took a two week leave of absence, reportedly because

0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:48.840
<v Speaker 2>he was so disturbed by what happened January sixth at

0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:52.520
<v Speaker 2>the Capitol. I was disturbed by what happened there. The

0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:54.480
<v Speaker 2>whole country should have been more disturbed than it was.

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:56.520
<v Speaker 2>It was kind I wouldn't have had that on my

0:24:56.560 --> 0:24:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Bengo card. Of why Kyrie misses half a month is

0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:05.880
<v Speaker 2>that the next year he's like, I've decided I'm an

0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:11.639
<v Speaker 2>anti vaccine mandate. Well that's new this year. I'm gonna

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 2>dabble in some unintentional anti semitism and then be obstreperous

0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:23.040
<v Speaker 2>when I'm asked about it. It's such random, like controversy,

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, The idea that now he's

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 2>going to go the next six months and not all

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, like what's the next thing, Like there's

0:25:31.080 --> 0:25:34.400
<v Speaker 2>no way to predict it, Like it's the and they're

0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:38.400
<v Speaker 2>all just so it's like wait what and so right,

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 2>whimsicals a great word for it, all right. Next one, Oh,

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:45.120
<v Speaker 2>by the way, the pole says sixty two percent say

0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:48.200
<v Speaker 2>they think the Udoka higher will backfire. One last point

0:25:48.240 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 2>on that. Sorry, there is a how do I put this?

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:58.320
<v Speaker 2>So there was weird kind of like in the shadows

0:25:58.359 --> 0:26:02.639
<v Speaker 2>reporting that the Ludoka thing is ugly, it's bad. I

0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:03.600
<v Speaker 2>go ahead.

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:05.960
<v Speaker 3>I think that he like he did something with like

0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 3>somebody that was above him, his wife. Like, I think

0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:10.639
<v Speaker 3>it's like one of the only thing that makes sense. Okay.

0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:14.040
<v Speaker 2>So I thought that initially too. That's not what it was.

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:15.679
<v Speaker 3>You're not talking about it. And if it was, like

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:16.480
<v Speaker 3>so bad.

0:26:16.400 --> 0:26:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Right, okay, So that's so that I thought when I

0:26:19.119 --> 0:26:20.919
<v Speaker 2>initially saw it, and I was like, you suspended for

0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:24.080
<v Speaker 2>a year for what's called a consensual relationship. I thought

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:26.679
<v Speaker 2>the same thing too. Just also, there's a good learning

0:26:26.720 --> 0:26:30.199
<v Speaker 2>moment for you here real quick. We should be careful

0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:32.639
<v Speaker 2>on stuff like that, just because there are so few

0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 2>people above the head coach and an organization. We're down

0:26:36.280 --> 0:26:38.639
<v Speaker 2>to like four people who you could be talking about.

0:26:38.960 --> 0:26:41.800
<v Speaker 2>So I understand what you're saying there, but that's fine,

0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and we'll call that learning on the fly. But uh,

0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, it's if you want it,

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:49.159
<v Speaker 2>if you're gonna throw some out there, you want to

0:26:49.200 --> 0:26:51.640
<v Speaker 2>be a huge pool of candidate. It's not like, well,

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:56.760
<v Speaker 2>it's these four people. But there was there was initial

0:26:56.840 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 2>reporting it's real bad. And then the reporting stopped, and

0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 2>the thought process by many was it stopped because it

0:27:07.160 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 2>was going to do real damage to the woman involved,

0:27:14.440 --> 0:27:17.680
<v Speaker 2>and if that woman had a family or children or whatever,

0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to do damage there, particularly if that woman

0:27:21.960 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 2>was married or something right, And the reason I think

0:27:25.080 --> 0:27:31.080
<v Speaker 2>sometimes reporters make a journalistic choice of he's already been suspended,

0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:34.360
<v Speaker 2>he's not going to coach this year, what is gained

0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 2>by this. There was a basketball player a few years

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:40.960
<v Speaker 2>ago who had someone close to them pass and it

0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:44.399
<v Speaker 2>was a real tragedy. And then I think everyone found

0:27:44.440 --> 0:27:52.160
<v Speaker 2>out the circumstance of the passing was not necessarily as

0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:55.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say innocent, but some things, some

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:58.199
<v Speaker 2>bad decisions were made that led to the passing, and

0:27:58.240 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 2>nobody reported it because it was like, who's what's the

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:02.879
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, that person's not a famous

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:04.440
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. It just caused more pain,

0:28:04.800 --> 0:28:09.400
<v Speaker 2>so Here's why I bring that up. Uh, I think

0:28:09.440 --> 0:28:11.760
<v Speaker 2>there was there's the thought process that there's more to

0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 2>this story. It wasn't reported to protect that person possibly,

0:28:16.240 --> 0:28:22.000
<v Speaker 2>And what's the point of it. He's already suspended. Is

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:25.560
<v Speaker 2>there a chance now if he gets a new job

0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:29.560
<v Speaker 2>and there is something to gain from reporting it, like whoa,

0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:32.359
<v Speaker 2>this guy should not be the head coach of a team?

0:28:32.520 --> 0:28:35.240
<v Speaker 2>That it then comes out Nett's got to be very

0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:37.920
<v Speaker 2>careful of that. They better really have vetted this because

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:40.720
<v Speaker 2>you can't hire him. And then two weeks later and

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what happened, you know what I mean,

0:28:42.880 --> 0:28:45.400
<v Speaker 2>something comes out It's like, oh my god, Like so

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:46.520
<v Speaker 2>all right, now we'll move on.

0:28:46.640 --> 0:28:48.560
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, all right, only two more topics to go.

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:51.080
<v Speaker 2>But we've only been you know, only already seven minutes.

0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Over mister lowad management. Kawhi Leonard is nowhere to be found.

0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:57.000
<v Speaker 3>He's only appeared in two games this season, averaging twenty

0:28:57.000 --> 0:28:59.440
<v Speaker 3>one minutes a game off the bench, and did not

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 3>travel with the team that Texas. Yeah, the four or

0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 3>four Clippers may need a superstar if they want to

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 3>if they want to avoid the playing. Yeah, you said

0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:08.480
<v Speaker 3>on on your TV show that there are thirty guys

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:10.600
<v Speaker 3>you'd rather have on your on your team rather than

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Kawi Leonard this year with a bunch of NBA teams

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:16.000
<v Speaker 3>struggling with their stars right now, or the Clippers quietly

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 3>in one of the worst situations.

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I don't think it's the worst. But it's a disaster.

0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:23.360
<v Speaker 2>It's a total disaster.

0:29:23.480 --> 0:29:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Whylander that, I don't That's that's another really weird story.

0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Listen. Either he doesn't love playing, which I used to

0:29:32.960 --> 0:29:36.040
<v Speaker 2>think when I was he when he first got with

0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:38.560
<v Speaker 2>the Clippers, he took a game off before Halloween, was

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:40.520
<v Speaker 2>like game three. They're like load man, like you to

0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 2>be kidnaping. The guy's not injured, uh, or his body

0:29:45.440 --> 0:29:48.360
<v Speaker 2>just can't handle it. I mean, he tore his ACL

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:51.800
<v Speaker 2>a long time ago, and did he re injure it?

0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:55.520
<v Speaker 2>They they're being cagey about it. I don't the reason

0:29:55.560 --> 0:29:58.200
<v Speaker 2>I said there's thirty guys I'd rather have. I included

0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Paolo Bankaro, Cadingham, Evan Mobley, but Drew Holliday because the

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Clippers are an idea, not a team, and pissed well well,

0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, listen, John wall is happy to be playing again.

0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 2>It just sucks. This is a guy, Bill Walton. You

0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:23.000
<v Speaker 2>remember him from our NBA shows, the top fifty of

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:26.200
<v Speaker 2>last fifty. Bill Walton is, in my opinion, the second

0:30:26.240 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 2>greatest college player ever behind Kareem was I think under

0:30:30.960 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 2>like seventy eight and wan in college something crazy one

0:30:34.800 --> 0:30:37.480
<v Speaker 2>player of the year. Every year in college won a championship.

0:30:37.600 --> 0:30:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Every year, goes to the NBA almost immediately wins an MVP.

0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:44.520
<v Speaker 2>The very next year wins finals MVP in a title,

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:50.440
<v Speaker 2>breaks his foot, has an injury, and is never the same,

0:30:50.880 --> 0:30:54.800
<v Speaker 2>like he played like a little bit different of course, no, no,

0:30:54.840 --> 0:30:59.360
<v Speaker 2>no way different. Point is this? Why is like the

0:31:00.600 --> 0:31:04.120
<v Speaker 2>modern version of like Gail Sayers, just Bill wal Like

0:31:04.600 --> 0:31:07.640
<v Speaker 2>we at his apex, we've seen he's one of the

0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:12.120
<v Speaker 2>five best players in the league. But it's sad it

0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:16.080
<v Speaker 2>is at this point it has gone from annoyance about

0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:20.320
<v Speaker 2>his lack of playing to sadness that will he ever

0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:22.000
<v Speaker 2>be an All Star again? I don't know.

0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:24.400
<v Speaker 3>And they'll think about kwhy is it doesn't ever really

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 3>seem like he seems to like actually care about it.

0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:27.920
<v Speaker 3>But that's just like his right.

0:31:28.000 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 2>That's the other thing is his persona and demeanor makes

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.160
<v Speaker 2>it seem like he's apathetic when it might just be

0:31:33.240 --> 0:31:33.640
<v Speaker 2>who he is?

0:31:33.920 --> 0:31:38.000
<v Speaker 3>All right, next, all right, Rams Bucks. Coming into this year,

0:31:38.120 --> 0:31:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Rams Bucks had to be circled on everybody's calendar. Man,

0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, midway through the season. It's a total stinker

0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:46.760
<v Speaker 3>with only one afternoon game one, we're gonna be forced

0:31:46.760 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 3>to watch this train wick Oh yeah.

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Five, Well listen not force it on Fox. Is gonna

0:31:51.160 --> 0:31:53.080
<v Speaker 2>be great. Twenty million people are watch. We're very excited

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 2>to watch it. Go ahead, Oh we love fo Yeah.

0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 3>Both teams are underperforming, with the Rams at three and

0:31:58.000 --> 0:32:00.360
<v Speaker 3>four and the Bucks at three and five. This team

0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:02.760
<v Speaker 3>is more desperate for a win, and will this game

0:32:02.960 --> 0:32:05.400
<v Speaker 3>turn somebody season around? Or should we expect more of

0:32:05.440 --> 0:32:05.720
<v Speaker 3>the same.

0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'd say they're both equally desperate. I think this

0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:10.760
<v Speaker 2>is almost an elimination game for both of these teams.

0:32:11.640 --> 0:32:14.560
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think the Rams can win. I think

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:17.120
<v Speaker 2>the Rams are I think the Rams are broken. I

0:32:17.200 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 2>think the Bucks are underperforming. That's the difference. I think

0:32:20.520 --> 0:32:23.600
<v Speaker 2>the Rams. The Rams have the dead last offense on

0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:26.040
<v Speaker 2>a per play basis in the whole league, the worst

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:32.880
<v Speaker 2>offense in the whole league. It's unbelievable. They their losses

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 2>on the offensive line they can't overcome. Now. The Bucks

0:32:35.080 --> 0:32:36.800
<v Speaker 2>also lost a lot of people on the offensive line.

0:32:37.120 --> 0:32:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I still think the Bucks are gonna win that division.

0:32:39.640 --> 0:32:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I still think the Bucks are gonna be dangerous. I

0:32:41.960 --> 0:32:44.000
<v Speaker 2>think the Bucks are gonna win this game. I think

0:32:44.040 --> 0:32:47.600
<v Speaker 2>the Rams are finished now. If the Rams beat the Bucks, uh,

0:32:48.440 --> 0:32:50.440
<v Speaker 2>then I will have been wrong. But go ahead.

0:32:50.520 --> 0:32:53.120
<v Speaker 3>That Stafford and Brady been on separate on different teams,

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:56.600
<v Speaker 3>like say they were inverted, would you have like more faith.

0:32:57.960 --> 0:32:58.640
<v Speaker 2>In the Rams?

0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:01.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean, obviously though seas than probably go on.

0:33:01.160 --> 0:33:03.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that even I don't know that Brady

0:33:03.120 --> 0:33:06.000
<v Speaker 2>could overcome The Rams offensive line is the worst in

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 2>football right now. They have a lot of the same issues.

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:10.800
<v Speaker 2>I think the Rams issues are worse. The Rams have

0:33:10.920 --> 0:33:13.479
<v Speaker 2>better individual players on defense. I think the Bucks might

0:33:13.480 --> 0:33:16.360
<v Speaker 2>have the better overall defense. So yeah, I think that.

0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I think that you would need a not only a

0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:25.600
<v Speaker 2>top flight quarterback, but a top flight mobile quarterback for

0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:28.040
<v Speaker 2>the Rams to offense have any chance at working. You

0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:30.800
<v Speaker 2>need something that could escape that pressure. I like the Bucks.

0:33:30.800 --> 0:33:32.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a mustle wing game for both. Take

0:33:32.600 --> 0:33:34.360
<v Speaker 2>a quick break, come right back, what's right.

<v Speaker 2>a block, and the nets are just well, there's just

0:34:16.960 --> 0:34:19.319

<v Speaker 2>chat and we'll get to them, all right. Demante go ahead,

0:34:36.320 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs Titans.

0:34:37.120 --> 0:34:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh, this is a big game, A big game.

0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:42.400
<v Speaker 2>The Titans are five and two, they've won five in

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:42.719
<v Speaker 2>a row.

0:34:42.880 --> 0:34:44.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I just don't see it as big.

0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:46.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean it's on It's Sunday night football.

0:34:47.239 --> 0:34:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs Titens is rematch of the AFC Championship game two year.

0:34:50.320 --> 0:34:52.480
<v Speaker 3>Given like their history that we're about to talk about. Yeah,

0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:55.360
<v Speaker 3>the Chiefs are back off of bye and back in

0:34:55.480 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 3>prime go ahead, back in prime time. They take on

0:34:58.600 --> 0:35:01.719
<v Speaker 3>the Tennessee Derek Henry Sunday. Yep, Kansas City does have

0:35:01.840 --> 0:35:03.359
<v Speaker 3>the third best run defense in the league.

0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Though, can I jump in real quick there? But I

0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:08.680
<v Speaker 2>think that's a little misleading. I think then defense, yeah,

0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 2>because I think the Chiefs pass even has been so bad.

0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:14.759
<v Speaker 2>Teams are not running. I think teams are passing. They're

0:35:14.800 --> 0:35:16.400
<v Speaker 2>passing in stoots for a couple of times, one as

0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:18.920
<v Speaker 2>they're usually losing, so they need to throw. Another is

0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:23.600
<v Speaker 2>throwing is more efficient than running. And I think she's

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:26.279
<v Speaker 2>have a good run defense. I don't think they have

0:35:26.440 --> 0:35:27.600
<v Speaker 2>a top three run defense.

0:35:27.640 --> 0:35:30.839
<v Speaker 3>But go ahead, And since you think the Chiefs got

0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:34.160
<v Speaker 3>the best receiver since Randy Moss and Cadarius Tony. They

0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 3>should be unstoppable now right.

0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, real quick. On the Caius Tony thing. I like

0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:43.719
<v Speaker 2>the value. The guy runs a four to three, was

0:35:43.760 --> 0:35:45.839
<v Speaker 2>a first round pick a year and a half ago,

0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:49.120
<v Speaker 2>had a monster game as a rookie.

0:35:49.440 --> 0:35:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Then he's like the Wolverine team rubbing is rubbing his

0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:55.719
<v Speaker 3>little photo of Tyreek Hill.

0:35:56.080 --> 0:36:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, poor man's Tyreek Hill. Bit of a knucklehead,

0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:05.040
<v Speaker 2>similar to Tyreek Hill. Similar like neck to Tyreek Hill,

0:36:05.080 --> 0:36:09.680
<v Speaker 2>which I like. So a lot of those things I like. Also,

0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:13.080
<v Speaker 2>was an awesome punt returner in college. The Chiefs punt

0:36:13.120 --> 0:36:15.759
<v Speaker 2>returner rookie sky Moore has been a disaster through one

0:36:15.800 --> 0:36:19.359
<v Speaker 2>of the games just as Yeah, they lost the Colts game,

0:36:19.400 --> 0:36:21.640
<v Speaker 2>and they fumbled one in a recent game as well.

0:36:21.800 --> 0:36:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Like so, I do like the Garus Tony. I also

0:36:25.160 --> 0:36:27.040
<v Speaker 2>like the fact that he's on this rookie deal for

0:36:27.120 --> 0:36:29.160
<v Speaker 2>the next two years. Then you have a fifty year option,

0:36:29.640 --> 0:36:32.319
<v Speaker 2>so cheap at that position. If he turns into something,

0:36:32.440 --> 0:36:33.120
<v Speaker 2>go ahead.

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:35.120
<v Speaker 3>All right, well believe it or not. Titans are four

0:36:35.200 --> 0:36:37.839
<v Speaker 3>and one against the Chiefs since drafting King Henry three

0:36:37.880 --> 0:36:40.640
<v Speaker 3>and zero in the regular season with Kansas City Land

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:43.719
<v Speaker 3>twelve and a half points, no chance at a trap game. Right.

0:36:44.400 --> 0:36:47.719
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, here's a fun one for you, Andy Reid

0:36:47.800 --> 0:36:51.560
<v Speaker 2>off a bye. Andy Reid has coached twenty three games

0:36:51.600 --> 0:36:54.200
<v Speaker 2>in his career off a bye. Okay, his teams are

0:36:54.280 --> 0:36:57.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty and three. Andy Reid with an extra week to

0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:01.960
<v Speaker 2>prepare his unbeatable Okay. So I do not think the

0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs will lose. Tannehill may or may not play.

0:37:04.719 --> 0:37:05.080
<v Speaker 3>We don't know.

0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:08.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm not comfortable laying the twelve and a half though,

0:37:08.360 --> 0:37:11.280
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you that much. That's a whole lot of points.

0:37:12.960 --> 0:37:16.920
<v Speaker 2>And the Titans are going to try to keep this

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:20.600
<v Speaker 2>a low possession game, meaning they're gonna run the ball,

0:37:21.320 --> 0:37:23.799
<v Speaker 2>take thirty off the play clock, run the ball, take

0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:26.360
<v Speaker 2>thirty off the play clock. I also do want to

0:37:26.400 --> 0:37:29.920
<v Speaker 2>give the Titans credit for this weekend what the Titans did.

0:37:29.960 --> 0:37:30.080
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I know they're playing the Texans, but the box score

0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:36.040
<v Speaker 2>of this game demands the Titans were up seventeen to three.

0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:38.520
<v Speaker 2>They end up winning seventeen to ten. You know, I

0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:40.960
<v Speaker 2>didn't realize it was seven. I've been saying seventeen to

0:37:41.040 --> 0:37:43.759
<v Speaker 2>three on TV all week. But the Texans scored a

0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:46.800
<v Speaker 2>touchdown with twenty seconds left. I didn't even know what happened.

0:37:46.800 --> 0:37:49.919
<v Speaker 2>I had turned the game off. The Titans dominated that game.

0:37:50.600 --> 0:37:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Malik Willis, the Titans starting quarterback that game, completed six

0:37:54.640 --> 0:37:58.520
<v Speaker 2>passes for fifty five yards and threw a pick. Oh,

0:37:58.680 --> 0:38:01.440
<v Speaker 2>but he's a great runnerically, he ran the ball five

0:38:01.520 --> 0:38:05.759
<v Speaker 2>times for twelve yards. Derrick Henry, on the other hand,

0:38:05.960 --> 0:38:10.120
<v Speaker 2>against the Texans, is the greatest running back in NFL history.

0:38:10.440 --> 0:38:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Derrick Henry, I think this is accurate, has four consecutive

0:38:14.640 --> 0:38:18.879
<v Speaker 2>two hundred yard games against the Texans. Somebody, hubs from,

0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:21.640
<v Speaker 2>the producer of my TV show told me this. Someone

0:38:21.760 --> 0:38:26.080
<v Speaker 2>extrapolated Henry's last four against the Texans into a seventeen

0:38:26.160 --> 0:38:29.279
<v Speaker 2>game season, it would be four thousand yards and thirty

0:38:29.320 --> 0:38:33.200
<v Speaker 2>eight touchdowns. Like so, the I give the Titans credit

0:38:33.239 --> 0:38:35.160
<v Speaker 2>for not being able to throw the ball and dominating

0:38:35.239 --> 0:38:37.160
<v Speaker 2>that game. I give them credit for winning five in

0:38:37.200 --> 0:38:39.600
<v Speaker 2>a row. I don't think they can beat the Chiefs.

0:38:39.880 --> 0:38:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not comfortable laying twelve and a half though. With

0:38:42.120 --> 0:38:44.080
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs. That in what I think is going to

0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:46.520
<v Speaker 2>be a fast game, meaning the Titans are going to

0:38:46.560 --> 0:38:49.360
<v Speaker 2>try to grind the clock, and you lay twelve and

0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:52.960
<v Speaker 2>a half if you're if the Titans get the opening

0:38:53.320 --> 0:38:56.000
<v Speaker 2>kickoff and score and they're up seven to nothing, you

0:38:56.120 --> 0:38:58.239
<v Speaker 2>feel like your BET's almost dead already, you know what

0:38:58.320 --> 0:38:59.879
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Like, all of a sudden, you're like, wait,

0:39:00.400 --> 0:39:03.919
<v Speaker 2>I need three consecutive touchdowns to be covering. I don't

0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:04.600
<v Speaker 2>love that, all right.

0:39:04.680 --> 0:39:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Next, playing for a new game, and it is called

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:10.840
<v Speaker 3>moving the needle. I will ask you about some news,

0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:13.480
<v Speaker 3>whether that be a trade or a big win or loss,

0:39:13.560 --> 0:39:15.720
<v Speaker 3>and you tell us did it move the needle?

0:39:15.840 --> 0:39:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Yep?

0:39:16.440 --> 0:39:19.160
<v Speaker 3>All right? So first off, we got Laker center Miles

0:39:19.200 --> 0:39:21.640
<v Speaker 3>Turner came out talking about his value to the team.

0:39:22.160 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Here's what he said, read off of the quote. Yeah, well,

0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:27.359
<v Speaker 3>the only problem is he doesn't play for the Leak.

0:39:28.920 --> 0:39:30.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm supposed to read the quote and then say he

0:39:30.360 --> 0:39:31.040
<v Speaker 3>doesn't play for the LOA.

0:39:31.239 --> 0:39:33.800
<v Speaker 2>No, you're not supposed to say read off of the quote.

0:39:34.080 --> 0:39:34.920
<v Speaker 2>That's a command.

0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:36.400
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, that's okay.

0:39:36.480 --> 0:39:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Now you're cursing live on YouTube. That's that's demand's first

0:39:40.440 --> 0:39:41.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm Ron Burgundy moment.

0:39:42.120 --> 0:39:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that quotes right there, we're gonna read it.

0:39:44.680 --> 0:39:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. If I'm the Lakers, I take a very hard

0:39:46.680 --> 0:39:49.239
<v Speaker 2>look at this. With the position that you're in. I

0:39:49.440 --> 0:39:53.440
<v Speaker 2>know what I can provide for a team, shot blocking,

0:39:53.600 --> 0:39:56.680
<v Speaker 2>my three porn ability, and my ability to make plays

0:39:56.680 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 2>out there on the floor. I take a very long

0:39:59.320 --> 0:40:01.360
<v Speaker 2>look at it now, demonte go ahead.

0:40:01.800 --> 0:40:04.319
<v Speaker 3>The only problem is he doesn't play for the Lakers yet.

0:40:04.640 --> 0:40:07.440
<v Speaker 3>If you're Rob Polinka, the turner's comments move the needle,

0:40:08.320 --> 0:40:11.320
<v Speaker 3>well they don't move the needle. So no, but I

0:40:11.480 --> 0:40:13.200
<v Speaker 3>do like that he wants to be there.

0:40:13.360 --> 0:40:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Demontay's so embarrassed. That's so funny. Here's the thing, So

0:40:17.800 --> 0:40:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Lakers won last night. Matt Ryan hit a game tying three.

0:40:21.880 --> 0:40:23.560
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm gonna be forced to talk about

0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:28.759
<v Speaker 2>on television today? These Charlatan's big deal or no big deal?

0:40:29.640 --> 0:40:32.560
<v Speaker 2>The game tying three was drawn up for Matt Ryan,

0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:36.400
<v Speaker 2>not Lebron James. What does it say about Lebron? They

0:40:36.440 --> 0:40:38.719
<v Speaker 2>didn't trust him to take the game winning the game

0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:42.640
<v Speaker 2>tying three. Well, he was also zero seven from three

0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:44.960
<v Speaker 2>in that game. He right now is in a huge

0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:48.839
<v Speaker 2>shooting slump and Matt Ryan is out there. No, he's

0:40:48.880 --> 0:40:51.719
<v Speaker 2>been a streaky three. Here's the thing about Lebron and

0:40:51.760 --> 0:40:56.560
<v Speaker 2>three point shooting. He will shoot thirty six percent for

0:40:56.640 --> 0:41:00.839
<v Speaker 2>the season. He won't shoot thirty six percent in any month.

0:41:01.480 --> 0:41:04.640
<v Speaker 2>He will have a month where he shoots forty two

0:41:04.760 --> 0:41:07.840
<v Speaker 2>percent and a month where he shoots twenty five percent

0:41:08.280 --> 0:41:10.440
<v Speaker 2>and an averages out. So he goes hot, you know

0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:13.160
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. Like, he's not Klay Thompson's the opposite.

0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Klay Thompson's gonna shoot forty percent or thirty nine percent

0:41:17.200 --> 0:41:19.680
<v Speaker 2>every month, you know what I mean. He might have

0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:22.719
<v Speaker 2>games where he gets hot, but he he's a metronome.

0:41:22.920 --> 0:41:26.359
<v Speaker 2>That's not who Lebron is. Uh. Here's what I think

0:41:26.560 --> 0:41:29.359
<v Speaker 2>for the Lakers. The Russell Westbrook off the bench thing

0:41:29.520 --> 0:41:33.279
<v Speaker 2>is temporarily working. What the Lakers have to do is

0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:39.279
<v Speaker 2>stay afloat until they trade Russ. They have to make

0:41:39.400 --> 0:41:42.799
<v Speaker 2>and it's not because Russ is their biggest problem. I mean,

0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Beverly's been terrible and Russell off the bench has been fine,

0:41:46.760 --> 0:41:49.320
<v Speaker 2>but you can't win in this league without any shooting.

0:41:49.840 --> 0:41:52.480
<v Speaker 2>That's why Matt Ryan, who should not be an NBA player,

0:41:52.800 --> 0:41:55.040
<v Speaker 2>is getting crunch time minutes for Lakers because you have

0:41:55.239 --> 0:42:01.440
<v Speaker 2>to have some shooting. The Lakers Miles Turner would come

0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:04.880
<v Speaker 2>with Buddy Held, which would be some shooting. But they

0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:07.000
<v Speaker 2>are the reason they haven't made that trade yet is

0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:09.760
<v Speaker 2>not because they think they're gonna keep Russ. It's because

0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:14.640
<v Speaker 2>they want to see if a better trade materializes. You know,

0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:17.839
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't do it at this point. I think he's

0:42:17.880 --> 0:42:22.279
<v Speaker 2>too unreliable and toxic. But the Kyrie thing could come

0:42:22.360 --> 0:42:26.000
<v Speaker 2>available again, that's like on the board, and.

0:42:26.680 --> 0:42:29.400
<v Speaker 3>They mean they're almost even. What do you mean like

0:42:29.520 --> 0:42:31.640
<v Speaker 3>giving I mean, given Russ problems and given.

0:42:31.840 --> 0:42:34.319
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but they're so different problems, you know what I mean,

0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Like one's a basketball problem and one.

0:42:36.480 --> 0:42:38.680
<v Speaker 3>Is Kyrie coming off the four point game. If that

0:42:38.719 --> 0:42:40.240
<v Speaker 3>type of stuff continues.

0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, right, So there's a lot of My point is

0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:44.879
<v Speaker 2>the reason the Lakers haven't already traded for Miles Turner

0:42:44.920 --> 0:42:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and Buddy Healed is because they believe a better trade's

0:42:49.440 --> 0:42:52.319
<v Speaker 2>gonna come available. I think they thought the Blazers. There

0:42:52.400 --> 0:42:54.480
<v Speaker 2>might be a Blazer's trade, but the Blazers are good.

0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:57.839
<v Speaker 2>If the Jazz decide we're winning too much, we're trying

0:42:57.880 --> 0:42:59.920
<v Speaker 2>to tank, see what happens there, you know what I mean?

0:43:00.040 --> 0:43:02.000
<v Speaker 2>There might be a Charlotte trade with Terry Rogier and

0:43:02.080 --> 0:43:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Gordon Hayward. They're waiting to see. But no, this comment

0:43:05.280 --> 0:43:06.400
<v Speaker 2>doesn't move the needle all right?

0:43:06.480 --> 0:43:10.360
<v Speaker 3>Next, Okay, After trading away their two best defensive players,

0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:13.440
<v Speaker 3>the Bears decided to trade for wide receiver Chase Claypool.

0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:16.280
<v Speaker 3>How much has Claypool moved the needle for Justin Fields?

0:43:16.480 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 2>A little bit? It moved. I mean he gives him

0:43:19.560 --> 0:43:24.440
<v Speaker 2>a real receiver, Ryan Poles, though the new GM of

0:43:24.520 --> 0:43:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Chicago did make a mistake, so Chase Claypool was expendable

0:43:29.760 --> 0:43:36.000
<v Speaker 2>in Pittsburgh because they drafted George Pickens, who has taken

0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:42.600
<v Speaker 2>a spot Ryan Poole. Polls passed on George Pickens in

0:43:42.760 --> 0:43:46.080
<v Speaker 2>the second round of this year's draft twice and is

0:43:46.200 --> 0:43:51.680
<v Speaker 2>now trading next year's second rounder for the guy that

0:43:51.800 --> 0:43:55.120
<v Speaker 2>got replaced by George Pickens. That's not great, but the

0:43:55.160 --> 0:43:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Bears have a ton of money. They stripped it all down.

0:43:58.600 --> 0:44:02.080
<v Speaker 2>But what they forgot was by getting rid of by

0:44:02.160 --> 0:44:04.640
<v Speaker 2>not spending any money on offensive line or wide receiver,

0:44:05.000 --> 0:44:08.160
<v Speaker 2>we're not gonna be able to really evaluate Justin Fields fairly.

0:44:08.719 --> 0:44:11.200
<v Speaker 2>So now they're gonna have a better chance of evaluating

0:44:11.280 --> 0:44:13.880
<v Speaker 2>him while they try to kind of tank I understand it.

0:44:14.040 --> 0:44:16.480
<v Speaker 3>Next, hopefully he can stay in the pocket. Both the

0:44:16.560 --> 0:44:19.719
<v Speaker 3>Dolphins and Ravens made big trades of the deadline. The

0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Dolphins went all in on Bradley Chubb and the Ravens

0:44:22.440 --> 0:44:25.200
<v Speaker 3>traded for Rokwan Smith. Both teams seem to think that

0:44:25.239 --> 0:44:28.840
<v Speaker 3>their title contenders. Which of the Miami or Baltimore trades

0:44:28.880 --> 0:44:29.839
<v Speaker 3>moved the needle for both?

0:44:30.200 --> 0:44:33.520
<v Speaker 2>We listen, they are clearly now the third and fourth

0:44:33.560 --> 0:44:36.040
<v Speaker 2>best teams in the conference. They are in no disprect

0:44:36.080 --> 0:44:39.960
<v Speaker 2>to the Titans. They already were looking like that. They

0:44:40.080 --> 0:44:43.040
<v Speaker 2>both have excellent offenses when their quarterback plays well, and

0:44:43.120 --> 0:44:45.480
<v Speaker 2>in Miami the quarterback doesn't even always have to play well.

0:44:45.800 --> 0:44:48.399
<v Speaker 2>Tyreek Hill, by the way, has been the best player

0:44:48.440 --> 0:44:50.960
<v Speaker 2>in the league this year. He's been the best player,

0:44:51.120 --> 0:44:53.480
<v Speaker 2>and he and Micah Parsons have been the two best

0:44:53.480 --> 0:44:55.839
<v Speaker 2>players in the league so far this year. They won't

0:44:55.840 --> 0:44:59.120
<v Speaker 2>win MVP because it's quarterback on the award. They've been unbelievable.

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Tyreek has been truly sensational. But both of those teams

0:45:03.880 --> 0:45:06.480
<v Speaker 2>trying to upgrade their defense, which is where they need help.

0:45:06.560 --> 0:45:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Make sense. I'll tell you the other thing that I

0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:16.120
<v Speaker 2>do like, though, I like everyone in the AFC sending

0:45:16.320 --> 0:45:23.000
<v Speaker 2>out big future draft capital to the NFC, while the

0:45:23.200 --> 0:45:29.080
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs draft their own guys get draft capital and are

0:45:29.480 --> 0:45:31.879
<v Speaker 2>it to me? It positions the Chiefs really well moving forward.

0:45:31.920 --> 0:45:34.680
<v Speaker 2>So the Raiders traded all that for DeVante Adams, right.

0:45:35.400 --> 0:45:38.880
<v Speaker 2>The Broncos gave all that up for Russell Wilson. The

0:45:39.800 --> 0:45:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Ravens now traded pick for Rokwan Smith. The Dolphins traded

0:45:44.960 --> 0:45:50.800
<v Speaker 2>for Bradley Chubb, right, but they didn't trade real draft capital.

0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:56.280
<v Speaker 2>They traded a compensatory third for Kadarius Tony. The Bills,

0:45:56.360 --> 0:45:58.920
<v Speaker 2>to their credit, have not given up much stuff, but

0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:01.520
<v Speaker 2>they gave all that money to Miller and their salary

0:46:01.560 --> 0:46:03.000
<v Speaker 2>cap that she's going to be an issue for him.

0:46:03.200 --> 0:46:05.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it really positions the Chiefs well moving forward.

0:46:06.680 --> 0:46:08.040
<v Speaker 2>And I still think that the best team in the

0:46:08.040 --> 0:46:11.520
<v Speaker 2>conference this year despite everybody else doing that, but I do.

0:46:11.880 --> 0:46:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm really interested to see Miami with a dominant pass

0:46:15.800 --> 0:46:19.439
<v Speaker 2>rush could be a legitimately dangerous team. So I'm really

0:46:19.480 --> 0:46:21.719
<v Speaker 2>interested to watch that and the Ravens Rokwand is gonna

0:46:21.719 --> 0:46:22.600
<v Speaker 2>be perfect there next.

0:46:22.920 --> 0:46:24.600
<v Speaker 3>All right, you had a shot to go four and

0:46:24.680 --> 0:46:26.960
<v Speaker 3>one in your picks last week until the Bengals got

0:46:27.040 --> 0:46:29.840
<v Speaker 3>embarrassed by the Browns on Monday Night Football. Well A

0:46:29.920 --> 0:46:32.480
<v Speaker 3>wins since he would have would have kept placed with

0:46:32.520 --> 0:46:36.200
<v Speaker 3>the five, kept pace with the five and three Ravens Instead,

0:46:36.480 --> 0:46:39.239
<v Speaker 3>they're a game back. Is the Bengals primetime blaw a

0:46:39.360 --> 0:46:40.160
<v Speaker 3>needle mover for you?

0:46:40.800 --> 0:46:42.680
<v Speaker 2>No, here's what we know about the Bengals. They have

0:46:42.719 --> 0:46:46.640
<v Speaker 2>a fatal flaw, but against most teams they can overcome it.

0:46:47.120 --> 0:46:51.120
<v Speaker 2>So who are the three best edge rushers in football?

0:46:51.719 --> 0:46:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Mike Parsons, TJ. Watt, Miles Garrett. The three times the

0:46:57.120 --> 0:47:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Bengals offense has looked off, they were playing Michael Parsons, TJ. Watt,

0:47:02.640 --> 0:47:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Miles Garrett. Now it's a flaw they're gonna need to

0:47:05.640 --> 0:47:08.720
<v Speaker 2>fix because TJ. Watt and Miles Garrett are in their division,

0:47:09.000 --> 0:47:11.440
<v Speaker 2>so they play him four times a year, so that's

0:47:11.480 --> 0:47:13.960
<v Speaker 2>a problem for them. But I do I think the

0:47:14.080 --> 0:47:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Bengals are still gonna make the playoffs. I think they

0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:19.480
<v Speaker 2>need to. They thought they fixed their offensive line, they

0:47:19.560 --> 0:47:22.279
<v Speaker 2>clearly haven't, and they missed Jamar Chase. But I still

0:47:22.320 --> 0:47:24.480
<v Speaker 2>believe in the Bengals' ability to make the playoffs.

0:47:24.480 --> 0:47:27.000
<v Speaker 3>All right, next, all right, One of the most shocking

0:47:27.120 --> 0:47:30.239
<v Speaker 3>moves that the deadline was the Jaguars trading for suspended

0:47:30.360 --> 0:47:32.479
<v Speaker 3>Calvin Ridley hold on real quick.

0:47:32.960 --> 0:47:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you know why Calvin Ridley suspended?

0:47:36.040 --> 0:47:36.800
<v Speaker 3>Was that the drugs?

0:47:37.040 --> 0:47:41.919
<v Speaker 2>No, he was out last year and when he was out,

0:47:42.840 --> 0:47:46.920
<v Speaker 2>he placed a three team parlay in his name on

0:47:47.080 --> 0:47:51.359
<v Speaker 2>the NFL and they suspended him for a year. It's

0:47:51.400 --> 0:47:54.520
<v Speaker 2>like a two hundred dollars parlay. And they suspended him

0:47:54.560 --> 0:47:56.239
<v Speaker 2>for a year because you're not allowed to gamble in

0:47:56.280 --> 0:47:58.920
<v Speaker 2>the NFL, even though he wasn't gambling on the Falcons,

0:47:59.200 --> 0:47:59.879
<v Speaker 2>and he wasn't.

0:48:00.560 --> 0:48:01.920
<v Speaker 3>That's a big well.

0:48:01.960 --> 0:48:04.759
<v Speaker 2>They they're right, well they were. They want to crack Yeah,

0:48:04.760 --> 0:48:06.360
<v Speaker 2>they want to crack down, especially now the game.

0:48:06.239 --> 0:48:08.760
<v Speaker 3>With somebody else exactly.

0:48:09.080 --> 0:48:11.120
<v Speaker 2>But it's just so go ahead and ask the question.

0:48:11.960 --> 0:48:14.239
<v Speaker 3>Does the trade for the known sports gambler move the

0:48:14.280 --> 0:48:16.600
<v Speaker 3>needle for your likelihood to bet on the Jags again?

0:48:16.719 --> 0:48:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Before Thanksgiving? Well before Thanksgiving? Listen, I had a one

0:48:22.040 --> 0:48:25.680
<v Speaker 2>month sabbatical of betting on the Jags. So let's see

0:48:25.719 --> 0:48:28.120
<v Speaker 2>when I'm allowed to bet on the Jags again. So

0:48:28.320 --> 0:48:30.560
<v Speaker 2>the Jaguars, I gotta go to their schedule real quick.

0:48:31.040 --> 0:48:33.280
<v Speaker 2>So last week was week one. I said I wouldn't

0:48:33.320 --> 0:48:37.840
<v Speaker 2>bet them for four weeks. Oh no, I'm not allowed

0:48:37.880 --> 0:48:43.360
<v Speaker 2>because they have a bye. So this week is Las Vegas,

0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:47.400
<v Speaker 2>next week is Kansas City. The week after they're on

0:48:47.520 --> 0:48:49.920
<v Speaker 2>a bye and then they're home for Baltimore.

0:48:49.960 --> 0:48:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh.

0:48:50.120 --> 0:48:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I love betting on Baltimore too. You know what, Jags

0:48:53.120 --> 0:48:56.080
<v Speaker 2>at Lions. Mark it down. That's gonna be when I

0:48:56.160 --> 0:49:00.400
<v Speaker 2>get back with the Jags. Jags at Lions December fourth. Calvin, though,

0:49:00.400 --> 0:49:03.319
<v Speaker 2>I like the trade to help Trevor Lawrence out next year.

0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:05.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's suspended for this year, so you're buying

0:49:05.400 --> 0:49:09.400
<v Speaker 2>low on Calvin Ridley. All right, Next last bonus demons

0:49:09.480 --> 0:49:11.759
<v Speaker 2>will read whatever is on the page for the producers.

0:49:11.960 --> 0:49:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Does this move the needle? Yeah, I'm a robot.

0:49:16.880 --> 0:49:17.640
<v Speaker 2>That was embarrassing.

0:49:18.600 --> 0:49:19.680
<v Speaker 3>That was the last.

0:49:19.840 --> 0:49:23.680
<v Speaker 2>No oh yeah, no, that was fine. First one. I

0:49:23.760 --> 0:49:26.640
<v Speaker 2>mean listen as I said that, like, I was like,

0:49:27.080 --> 0:49:31.799
<v Speaker 2>have you seen Anchorman? No oh you haven't. No, Oh,

0:49:31.960 --> 0:49:37.319
<v Speaker 2>that is That's an all time funny movie. And Ron

0:49:37.400 --> 0:49:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Burgundy is Will Ferrell's the He's the main character. He

0:49:44.239 --> 0:49:47.399
<v Speaker 2>in the very beginning of the movie. He they put

0:49:47.640 --> 0:49:50.600
<v Speaker 2>at the he ends every newscast with I'm Ron Burgundy

0:49:52.480 --> 0:49:55.160
<v Speaker 2>and they put a question mark on it accidentally in

0:49:55.239 --> 0:49:59.919
<v Speaker 2>the prompter, and he goes I'm Ron Burgundy, and they're like, guys,

0:50:00.040 --> 0:50:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I've told you he'll read whatever's on the prompter and

0:50:03.120 --> 0:50:06.000
<v Speaker 2>spoiler alert for anchorman. Then he gets in a little

0:50:06.000 --> 0:50:08.600
<v Speaker 2>dispute at work, and so at the end of the show,

0:50:09.760 --> 0:50:12.360
<v Speaker 2>instead of stay beautiful or stay healthy, San Diego or

0:50:12.360 --> 0:50:15.200
<v Speaker 2>whatever he says, someone puts in there, go bleep yourself,

0:50:15.280 --> 0:50:18.080
<v Speaker 2>san Diego, and he reads it and he leads to

0:50:18.160 --> 0:50:21.040
<v Speaker 2>his disgrace and downfall. That's like the punchline. So that's

0:50:21.080 --> 0:50:24.080
<v Speaker 2>why I said it was your Ron Burgeney moment. All right, guys,

0:50:24.600 --> 0:50:27.279
<v Speaker 2>While demand will read whatever's on the prompter, he won't

0:50:27.320 --> 0:50:30.480
<v Speaker 2>read this book. You guys have. However, we will do

0:50:30.680 --> 0:50:33.319
<v Speaker 2>a quick version of our book club and then we'll

0:50:33.360 --> 0:50:35.960
<v Speaker 2>read your guys questions from the chat. That's next What's Right?

0:50:40.480 --> 0:50:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back in What's Right? Nick Right, Episode ninety. All right,

0:50:43.560 --> 0:50:46.080
<v Speaker 2>before we get to your comments and questions. So we

0:50:46.200 --> 0:50:49.680
<v Speaker 2>started a book club last week. Our book is Eh Gombrooks,

0:50:49.760 --> 0:50:51.839
<v Speaker 2>A Little History of the World. Shout out to Eric,

0:50:52.440 --> 0:50:55.520
<v Speaker 2>who says he's already finished the book. Super good read.

0:50:55.600 --> 0:50:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Love the perspective. It gave lots of interesting tidbits and

0:50:58.840 --> 0:51:01.920
<v Speaker 2>insight to help people live in civilization. So the premise

0:51:02.000 --> 0:51:03.759
<v Speaker 2>of this book, for a little background if people are

0:51:03.840 --> 0:51:06.880
<v Speaker 2>just joining us on it, is he was asked to

0:51:06.920 --> 0:51:09.840
<v Speaker 2>write a book for fourth graders telling the history of

0:51:09.880 --> 0:51:12.040
<v Speaker 2>the world. Wrote it and now it's become one of

0:51:12.080 --> 0:51:15.000
<v Speaker 2>the best selling, easiest to digest history books. And it

0:51:15.080 --> 0:51:19.239
<v Speaker 2>really starts from pre Mesopotamia and gets us up to

0:51:19.360 --> 0:51:22.120
<v Speaker 2>like the nineteen hundreds, which is he wrote Anythink nineteen thirty.

0:51:22.560 --> 0:51:24.480
<v Speaker 2>So I just want to give you guys. We got

0:51:24.560 --> 0:51:26.920
<v Speaker 2>up to page eighty this week. I want to give

0:51:26.920 --> 0:51:29.920
<v Speaker 2>you guys a few tidbits because he goes civilization by

0:51:29.960 --> 0:51:33.520
<v Speaker 2>civilization in chronological order. We talked about the first thirty

0:51:33.600 --> 0:51:37.840
<v Speaker 2>chapter thirty pages last week. He really loved and impressed,

0:51:38.120 --> 0:51:42.560
<v Speaker 2>was impressed with the Greeks, and talked about how Greek

0:51:42.680 --> 0:51:45.680
<v Speaker 2>architecture is still prevalent to this day. I'm gonna read

0:51:45.680 --> 0:51:48.239
<v Speaker 2>you a piece from it. I mean, he clearly thinks

0:51:48.320 --> 0:51:52.200
<v Speaker 2>the Greeks, with the smartest people ever to live. Both

0:51:52.320 --> 0:51:54.560
<v Speaker 2>wisdom of thought and beauty of form were to be

0:51:54.719 --> 0:51:57.000
<v Speaker 2>united by the Athenians in a third art, the art

0:51:57.040 --> 0:52:00.239
<v Speaker 2>of poetry, And here too they invented something new, the

0:52:00.360 --> 0:52:03.680
<v Speaker 2>theater their theater like their sport, because they also been

0:52:03.680 --> 0:52:07.040
<v Speaker 2>in the Olympics. Obviously, was also once bound up with

0:52:07.160 --> 0:52:10.719
<v Speaker 2>their religion, with festivals held in honor of their god Dianasus.

0:52:10.800 --> 0:52:13.879
<v Speaker 2>Also knows Bakus on his feast, a performances held could

0:52:13.960 --> 0:52:17.680
<v Speaker 2>last all day, and they had I'm not gonna read

0:52:17.719 --> 0:52:21.480
<v Speaker 2>this entirely, but talked about how you know, their serious

0:52:22.080 --> 0:52:25.239
<v Speaker 2>plays were called tragedies, their funny plays were called comedies.

0:52:25.680 --> 0:52:27.759
<v Speaker 2>And I could tell you lots more about the Athenians,

0:52:27.760 --> 0:52:30.480
<v Speaker 2>about their histories, about their doctors, their singers, their thinkers,

0:52:30.520 --> 0:52:32.440
<v Speaker 2>their artists, But I think it would be better for

0:52:32.480 --> 0:52:34.920
<v Speaker 2>you to find out about them yourself one day. Then

0:52:35.000 --> 0:52:37.360
<v Speaker 2>you'll see that I haven't exaggerated. I will tell you

0:52:38.280 --> 0:52:41.839
<v Speaker 2>that chapter made me want to visit Greece more than

0:52:41.840 --> 0:52:44.879
<v Speaker 2>anything ever before. See Athens, see all that. He then

0:52:45.520 --> 0:52:50.520
<v Speaker 2>takes us to India, where he tells us in ten

0:52:50.640 --> 0:52:55.560
<v Speaker 2>pages about Buddha and the Enlightened One, and how Buddha

0:52:55.800 --> 0:52:59.239
<v Speaker 2>was a prince that grew up in a palace, never

0:52:59.360 --> 0:53:03.280
<v Speaker 2>less left the palaces, grew up in all this splendor, splendor,

0:53:03.760 --> 0:53:08.640
<v Speaker 2>and his name was Uh. I apologize and pronounce it Gauatama,

0:53:09.600 --> 0:53:15.160
<v Speaker 2>and he decided that he wanted to find peace of thought,

0:53:15.920 --> 0:53:18.400
<v Speaker 2>and went out into the woods and sat under a

0:53:18.480 --> 0:53:24.200
<v Speaker 2>tree and didn't eat or drink for days. And that

0:53:25.160 --> 0:53:27.840
<v Speaker 2>was and I'm giving again the very short version of it.

0:53:28.680 --> 0:53:32.200
<v Speaker 2>The he thought it brought him enlightenment, and that is

0:53:32.360 --> 0:53:36.360
<v Speaker 2>what led to Buddhism. That is what was the creation

0:53:36.560 --> 0:53:41.640
<v Speaker 2>of that religion. And he goes on to write, I

0:53:41.719 --> 0:53:44.200
<v Speaker 2>can already hear you say, oh, because he thought the

0:53:44.360 --> 0:53:47.960
<v Speaker 2>key to life was not wanting anything. Was that the

0:53:48.600 --> 0:53:54.239
<v Speaker 2>belief was what causes unhappiness is that you don't have

0:53:54.480 --> 0:53:58.800
<v Speaker 2>something you want. So the true key to happiness was

0:53:58.880 --> 0:54:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to teach yourself to not want exactly. And he writes,

0:54:04.040 --> 0:54:05.839
<v Speaker 2>I can already hear you saying. That's all very well,

0:54:05.880 --> 0:54:08.960
<v Speaker 2>but people can't help wanting things. The Buddha thought otherwise,

0:54:09.280 --> 0:54:11.920
<v Speaker 2>he says, as possible to control our desires, but to

0:54:12.000 --> 0:54:14.600
<v Speaker 2>do so, we need to work on ourselves, perhaps even

0:54:14.640 --> 0:54:17.360
<v Speaker 2>for years, so that in the end we only have desires,

0:54:18.320 --> 0:54:20.320
<v Speaker 2>We only have the desires we want to have. In

0:54:20.440 --> 0:54:23.840
<v Speaker 2>other words, we can become masters of ourselves in the

0:54:23.920 --> 0:54:26.840
<v Speaker 2>same way that an elephant driver learns to control his

0:54:27.040 --> 0:54:30.800
<v Speaker 2>elephant the essential message of Buddhist sermons, and these sermons

0:54:30.880 --> 0:54:33.960
<v Speaker 2>made such an impression on people many followed him and

0:54:34.000 --> 0:54:36.680
<v Speaker 2>worshiped him as a god. Today there are almost as

0:54:36.719 --> 0:54:41.120
<v Speaker 2>many Buddhists in the world as Christians, especially in Southeast

0:54:41.160 --> 0:54:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Asia and Sri Lanka, Tobet, China and Japan, but not

0:54:44.040 --> 0:54:45.560
<v Speaker 2>many of them are able to live their lives in

0:54:45.600 --> 0:54:49.279
<v Speaker 2>accordance with the Buddhist teachings and so achieve that innercom,

0:54:49.840 --> 0:54:52.080
<v Speaker 2>that intercom is a state called nirvana. That these are

0:54:52.120 --> 0:54:54.760
<v Speaker 2>things people I'm sure have heard about. It was fascinating

0:54:54.840 --> 0:54:56.600
<v Speaker 2>enough to me. I bought a book on Buddha. I

0:54:56.680 --> 0:54:58.960
<v Speaker 2>won't include that in the book club because I think

0:54:59.000 --> 0:55:01.040
<v Speaker 2>it might be a little too dry. I was fascinating.

0:55:01.320 --> 0:55:04.839
<v Speaker 2>He then talked about Confucius, which I'm sure everyone's heard,

0:55:04.920 --> 0:55:07.279
<v Speaker 2>the little, the kind of trite sayings Confucius say this.

0:55:07.800 --> 0:55:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Confucius was a Chinese man who had a very unique

0:55:12.960 --> 0:55:16.680
<v Speaker 2>life philosophy. What Confucius proposed is quite simple. You may

0:55:16.760 --> 0:55:19.600
<v Speaker 2>not like it, but there's more wisdom than in it

0:55:19.680 --> 0:55:21.800
<v Speaker 2>than first meets the eye. What he taught was this

0:55:22.640 --> 0:55:27.719
<v Speaker 2>outward appearances are more important than we think. Bowing to

0:55:27.880 --> 0:55:31.960
<v Speaker 2>our elders, letting others go through a door first, standing

0:55:32.080 --> 0:55:35.440
<v Speaker 2>up to speak through superior, and many other similar things

0:55:35.800 --> 0:55:37.880
<v Speaker 2>for which they had more rules in China than we have.

0:55:38.440 --> 0:55:41.640
<v Speaker 2>All such practices, he believed, were not just a matter

0:55:41.719 --> 0:55:45.919
<v Speaker 2>of chance. They meant something or had had done once,

0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:50.280
<v Speaker 2>usually something beautiful, Which is why Confucius said, I believe

0:55:50.320 --> 0:55:53.080
<v Speaker 2>in antiquity, and I love it. By this, he meant

0:55:53.200 --> 0:55:56.480
<v Speaker 2>he believed in the sound, good sense of all the

0:55:56.560 --> 0:55:59.360
<v Speaker 2>many thousands of year old customs and habits, and he

0:55:59.480 --> 0:56:02.160
<v Speaker 2>repeatedly so he urges his fellow countrymen to observe them.

0:56:02.560 --> 0:56:05.759
<v Speaker 2>He thought that everything in life ran more smoothly if

0:56:05.840 --> 0:56:08.960
<v Speaker 2>people did almost by itself as it were, without the

0:56:09.040 --> 0:56:12.160
<v Speaker 2>need to think about it too hardly. Of course, such

0:56:12.280 --> 0:56:15.319
<v Speaker 2>behavior does not make good people, but it helps them

0:56:15.520 --> 0:56:18.440
<v Speaker 2>stay good. Confucius had a very good opinion of humanity.

0:56:18.760 --> 0:56:21.000
<v Speaker 2>He said that all people were born honest and good,

0:56:21.040 --> 0:56:24.239
<v Speaker 2>and the deep down they remained so. Anyone seeing a

0:56:24.320 --> 0:56:27.680
<v Speaker 2>small child playing near the water's edge will worry that

0:56:27.760 --> 0:56:30.680
<v Speaker 2>it would fall in concern for our fellow human beings

0:56:30.760 --> 0:56:33.759
<v Speaker 2>and sympathy for the misfortunes of others. He believed our

0:56:33.880 --> 0:56:38.560
<v Speaker 2>inborn sentiments all we need to do is make sure

0:56:38.719 --> 0:56:42.600
<v Speaker 2>we do not lose them. And that, Confucius said, is

0:56:42.680 --> 0:56:46.080
<v Speaker 2>why we have families. Someone who's always good to his parents,

0:56:46.120 --> 0:56:48.600
<v Speaker 2>who obeys them and cares for them, and this comes

0:56:48.680 --> 0:56:51.759
<v Speaker 2>naturally to us, will treat others the same way, and

0:56:51.840 --> 0:56:53.839
<v Speaker 2>will obey the laws of the state in the same

0:56:53.880 --> 0:56:57.320
<v Speaker 2>way he obeys his father. Thus, for Confucius, the family,

0:56:57.680 --> 0:57:00.640
<v Speaker 2>with its brotherly and sisterly love and respect for parents,

0:57:01.080 --> 0:57:03.200
<v Speaker 2>was the most important thing of all. He called it

0:57:03.280 --> 0:57:06.879
<v Speaker 2>the root of humanity. I gotta tell you, I knew

0:57:06.960 --> 0:57:10.000
<v Speaker 2>nothing about Confucius. It's one of the most beautiful sentiments

0:57:10.040 --> 0:57:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I've ever heard, and I actually I didn't know I

0:57:13.120 --> 0:57:15.840
<v Speaker 2>agreed with it. Were you laughing at me? No? No, no, no,

0:57:15.920 --> 0:57:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I love it, but I never thought about it that way.

0:57:18.640 --> 0:57:23.120
<v Speaker 2>But it is, like you do. This is the all

0:57:23.280 --> 0:57:25.680
<v Speaker 2>the version of You learn a lot from someone by

0:57:25.720 --> 0:57:30.160
<v Speaker 2>how they treat servers. Are they courteous and polite and

0:57:30.400 --> 0:57:32.840
<v Speaker 2>kind to people they don't have to be. I feel

0:57:32.880 --> 0:57:35.160
<v Speaker 2>like that's like a There's a lot of things I

0:57:35.200 --> 0:57:38.000
<v Speaker 2>could if I were I am in single in fifteen years,

0:57:38.280 --> 0:57:39.760
<v Speaker 2>but if I were single, there's a lot of things

0:57:39.800 --> 0:57:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I think I could overlook in someone but on a

0:57:42.480 --> 0:57:45.560
<v Speaker 2>first date they were crummy to the server, and think

0:57:45.560 --> 0:57:47.520
<v Speaker 2>it'd be like, I could never do it. I can.

0:57:48.160 --> 0:57:50.760
<v Speaker 2>You've dealt with that, yes, and it's so uncomfortable and

0:57:51.000 --> 0:57:53.440
<v Speaker 2>feel badly and you're like, there's no there's no way

0:57:53.480 --> 0:57:56.800
<v Speaker 2>to get past this. I didn't realize it. That's confusion,

0:57:57.080 --> 0:57:59.360
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. And so the next chapter, though,

0:57:59.480 --> 0:58:01.440
<v Speaker 2>is not a really this book. The next chapter is

0:58:01.440 --> 0:58:04.560
<v Speaker 2>about Alexander the Great. It's a long chapter, and I

0:58:04.640 --> 0:58:08.640
<v Speaker 2>gotta tell you, Alexander the Great was a bad dude.

0:58:09.880 --> 0:58:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Took over when he was twenty. By the time he

0:58:12.320 --> 0:58:16.280
<v Speaker 2>was thirty, had conquered the entire known world, and it's

0:58:16.480 --> 0:58:20.120
<v Speaker 2>unbelievable what he did. The Alexander the Great stuff is

0:58:20.280 --> 0:58:24.439
<v Speaker 2>so fascinating. I'll give you one little Alexander the Great

0:58:24.800 --> 0:58:27.520
<v Speaker 2>ut you're thinking of Napoleon.

0:58:27.800 --> 0:58:28.680
<v Speaker 3>No, I know Napoleons.

0:58:28.760 --> 0:58:30.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he was short enough. But I'm

0:58:30.160 --> 0:58:32.800
<v Speaker 2>gonna give you one cool anecdote about Alexander the Great.

0:58:34.600 --> 0:58:37.560
<v Speaker 2>This is after he went to Egypt, conquered it and

0:58:38.200 --> 0:58:41.760
<v Speaker 2>set up Alexandria. Yea named it of himself. He had

0:58:41.800 --> 0:58:44.720
<v Speaker 2>great plans. You want to found many more cities like Alexandria.

0:58:44.800 --> 0:58:46.840
<v Speaker 2>He wanted to build roads, change the faces of the

0:58:46.880 --> 0:58:50.080
<v Speaker 2>world with military campaigns. Whether the Greeks liked it or not,

0:58:50.200 --> 0:58:52.280
<v Speaker 2>he was Greek. Just imagine in those days to have

0:58:52.360 --> 0:58:56.000
<v Speaker 2>a postal service running from India to Athens. But in

0:58:56.080 --> 0:59:01.040
<v Speaker 2>the midst of all his plans, he died in Nebuken's

0:59:01.040 --> 0:59:04.600
<v Speaker 2>summer palace in three twenty three BC. He was nearly

0:59:04.680 --> 0:59:06.919
<v Speaker 2>thirty two years He was barely thirty two years old.

0:59:07.640 --> 0:59:10.280
<v Speaker 2>But that's actually not the anecdote I wanted to read you.

0:59:10.400 --> 0:59:14.360
<v Speaker 2>This is it. Here we go. So Alexander, also in battles,

0:59:14.680 --> 0:59:18.400
<v Speaker 2>would be at the front. He would fight. Oh, he

0:59:18.560 --> 0:59:20.520
<v Speaker 2>was in the field. He would fight and lead him.

0:59:21.600 --> 0:59:22.920
<v Speaker 2>And there's a lot of people know a lot more

0:59:22.920 --> 0:59:25.120
<v Speaker 2>about Alexander than I do. I knew almost nothing. There

0:59:25.200 --> 0:59:27.200
<v Speaker 2>have been books and movies and everything written about him.

0:59:27.320 --> 0:59:30.600
<v Speaker 2>But there's a nice quick history. Uh. So I'm gonna

0:59:30.640 --> 0:59:32.400
<v Speaker 2>read you this ancdote. Then we'll move on from book

0:59:32.400 --> 0:59:35.520
<v Speaker 2>club this week. Alexander himself was no less valiant, as

0:59:35.640 --> 0:59:38.680
<v Speaker 2>is shown by his encounter with an Indian king. King

0:59:38.840 --> 0:59:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Porus had Lain in wait for him on a branch

0:59:41.120 --> 0:59:43.600
<v Speaker 2>of the Indus River with a mighty army of war

0:59:43.680 --> 0:59:47.360
<v Speaker 2>elephants and foot soldiers. When Alexander reached the river, his

0:59:47.560 --> 0:59:50.200
<v Speaker 2>king's The king's army was positioned on the far bank,

0:59:50.240 --> 0:59:53.640
<v Speaker 2>and Alexander's and his soldiers had no choice but to

0:59:53.720 --> 0:59:55.560
<v Speaker 2>cross the river in the face of the enemy host.

0:59:55.920 --> 0:59:58.120
<v Speaker 2>His success was one of his greatest feats. He won

0:59:58.160 --> 1:00:01.400
<v Speaker 2>the battle, yet even more remark was his victory over

1:00:01.440 --> 1:00:04.440
<v Speaker 2>that army in the stifling heat of India. Porus, the

1:00:04.520 --> 1:00:07.760
<v Speaker 2>other king, was brought before him in chains. What do

1:00:07.880 --> 1:00:12.000
<v Speaker 2>you want of me, asked Alexander the king. Porus says

1:00:12.120 --> 1:00:14.360
<v Speaker 2>only that you treat me as befits a king.

1:00:15.120 --> 1:00:15.680
<v Speaker 3>That is all.

1:00:16.480 --> 1:00:19.160
<v Speaker 2>That is all. There is no more to be said.

1:00:19.600 --> 1:00:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Alexander was so impressed that that was his response. He

1:00:23.840 --> 1:00:27.240
<v Speaker 2>let Porus keep his kingdom like Okay, I beat you

1:00:27.240 --> 1:00:29.240
<v Speaker 2>in battle. All you want is me to treat you

1:00:29.320 --> 1:00:31.400
<v Speaker 2>like king, treats you like king. You keep it. I

1:00:31.440 --> 1:00:34.800
<v Speaker 2>don't Again, this is such a brief history. I'm sure

1:00:34.800 --> 1:00:37.640
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot about Alexander the Great I'm not learning about.

1:00:37.880 --> 1:00:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there were some really awful things he did,

1:00:40.240 --> 1:00:43.160
<v Speaker 2>but in this short version of it, the guy was

1:00:43.200 --> 1:00:47.120
<v Speaker 2>pretty fascinating. Our last chapter was about the Romans. I

1:00:47.240 --> 1:00:49.680
<v Speaker 2>gotta tell you, I screwed up. I highlighted a ton

1:00:49.760 --> 1:00:51.720
<v Speaker 2>in that in my book. I forgot my book today

1:00:51.920 --> 1:00:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Demanse has his, so I don't. We're gonna move on

1:00:54.600 --> 1:00:56.959
<v Speaker 2>from here. We're supposed to be up to page eighty,

1:00:57.280 --> 1:00:59.959
<v Speaker 2>which starts with an Enemy of History, which was about

1:01:00.080 --> 1:01:04.280
<v Speaker 2>out little spoiler alert, a new leader of China who

1:01:04.400 --> 1:01:07.480
<v Speaker 2>then didn't like history and wanted all the histories burnt.

1:01:07.760 --> 1:01:10.040
<v Speaker 2>He wanted to start with him, and we talked about

1:01:10.080 --> 1:01:12.800
<v Speaker 2>the Great Wall and all that stuff. This week. For

1:01:12.960 --> 1:01:15.800
<v Speaker 2>next week book club, we're gonna get up to chapter

1:01:16.000 --> 1:01:18.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty five, So it will take us to page one

1:01:18.480 --> 1:01:20.880
<v Speaker 2>fifty five. We're gonna get up to chapter twenty five

1:01:21.240 --> 1:01:24.520
<v Speaker 2>for next week's book club. All right, demons, what are

1:01:24.520 --> 1:01:25.160
<v Speaker 2>our comment.

1:01:24.960 --> 1:01:26.800
<v Speaker 3>Out that for a little bit of history of the world.

1:01:26.880 --> 1:01:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Baby, And by the way, they won't all be history

1:01:29.720 --> 1:01:32.400
<v Speaker 2>books next next a month, we're reading a gambling book.

1:01:32.440 --> 1:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>But go ahead, what a our listener questions, All right.

1:01:34.960 --> 1:01:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Fans ZCBS, should Chargers explore other coaching options already? If

1:01:40.560 --> 1:01:44.760
<v Speaker 3>Staley can't make a playoff appearance, appearance Slash Run with Herbert.

1:01:44.960 --> 1:01:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, listen, I like Staley. He hasn't done

1:01:47.040 --> 1:01:49.720
<v Speaker 2>a good job this year. I think that they need

1:01:49.800 --> 1:01:52.720
<v Speaker 2>to do a full court press on Sean Payton. Sean

1:01:52.800 --> 1:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Payton coming to the AFC West with Justin Herbert would

1:01:55.000 --> 1:01:57.800
<v Speaker 2>scare me so much more than Russell Wilson coming to

1:01:57.840 --> 1:02:00.440
<v Speaker 2>the AFC West. So yeah, but if you can't get

1:02:00.440 --> 1:02:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Sean Payton, give Staley another year.

1:02:02.520 --> 1:02:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Next Hyperion Joe Smith. This question is where should the

1:02:08.040 --> 1:02:12.440
<v Speaker 3>next NFL franchise be. They don't need more, okay, thirty

1:02:12.480 --> 1:02:15.800
<v Speaker 3>two is good eight four team divisions. You don't need

1:02:15.880 --> 1:02:18.959
<v Speaker 3>to expand, Okay, So I just if you were telling

1:02:19.000 --> 1:02:21.400
<v Speaker 3>me either. First of all, here's the thing with the NFL.

1:02:22.120 --> 1:02:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Can't have a odd number.

1:02:23.640 --> 1:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>If you have an odd number, somebody as a buy

1:02:25.360 --> 1:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>in Week one, somebody as a bye at the end

1:02:27.320 --> 1:02:29.880
<v Speaker 2>of the season, you need you need an even numbers.

1:02:29.880 --> 1:02:32.640
<v Speaker 2>So you need add two teams. So where you know

1:02:32.680 --> 1:02:36.360
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? So like the should San Diego get

1:02:36.400 --> 1:02:39.280
<v Speaker 2>a team back? Yeah, the Chargers could go back. Like

1:02:40.080 --> 1:02:42.520
<v Speaker 2>is there a city that I feel like desperately needs

1:02:42.560 --> 1:02:45.760
<v Speaker 2>an NFL team that doesn't have one somewhere in Maine. No,

1:02:45.960 --> 1:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Maine's a terrible idea. It's no big population centers. That's

1:02:49.720 --> 1:02:55.880
<v Speaker 2>a bad idea. Run that one back. I mean Austin, Yeah,

1:02:56.080 --> 1:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Austin or San Antonio, one of those, I guess could

1:02:59.000 --> 1:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>make sense. But I don't think we need more teams.

1:03:00.880 --> 1:03:03.360
<v Speaker 2>If they expand, it's gonna be internationally. It's gonna be

1:03:03.360 --> 1:03:06.240
<v Speaker 2>like Mexico City in London, and that those teams are

1:03:06.240 --> 1:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>gonna be hard to get free agents. I think it's

1:03:08.880 --> 1:03:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Toronto would be fine, but I think Toronto people like

1:03:11.720 --> 1:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>the Bills. All right, next?

1:03:13.720 --> 1:03:17.680
<v Speaker 3>All right? Uh? John Roca asked, I think it's j

1:03:17.960 --> 1:03:22.640
<v Speaker 3>Johan Johann. Sorry. Johan Roca asked, Can Luca break Will

1:03:22.760 --> 1:03:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Chamberlain's record of twenty three consecutive thirty plus point games?

1:03:25.800 --> 1:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>No, he can't, but he Lucas started the year with

1:03:28.200 --> 1:03:31.320
<v Speaker 2>seven straight thirty point games. Has not been done since Wilt.

1:03:32.200 --> 1:03:34.680
<v Speaker 3>He just did something that nobody's ever done before. I

1:03:34.720 --> 1:03:35.560
<v Speaker 3>don't know what it was.

1:03:35.720 --> 1:03:37.440
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot of I mean, he's averaging thirty six,

1:03:37.600 --> 1:03:40.160
<v Speaker 2>nine and nine. The guy's un The guy is the

1:03:40.280 --> 1:03:43.640
<v Speaker 2>best offensive player in the league, bar none. Gihann is

1:03:43.680 --> 1:03:46.520
<v Speaker 2>the best player, because he's the best defensive player in

1:03:46.520 --> 1:03:50.080
<v Speaker 2>the league and the second best offensive player. But Lucas offensive,

1:03:50.200 --> 1:03:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Lucas unbelievable. How unbelievable was it watching him in person?

1:03:53.800 --> 1:03:56.800
<v Speaker 3>It was awesome. It was definitely an experience. I liked that.

1:03:56.920 --> 1:03:58.400
<v Speaker 3>I liked them a lot more after seem.

1:03:58.640 --> 1:03:59.240
<v Speaker 2>He's so good.

1:03:59.240 --> 1:03:59.760
<v Speaker 3>I liked him.

1:04:00.000 --> 1:04:03.960
<v Speaker 2>But no, but he's so good, all right? Last one, Justin's.

1:04:05.000 --> 1:04:08.440
<v Speaker 3>Slesinger, ass, do you think there's any chance that the

1:04:08.720 --> 1:04:10.400
<v Speaker 3>entire NFC East makes the playoffs?

1:04:10.440 --> 1:04:13.880
<v Speaker 2>No, Washington's not making the playoffs. It would mean it

1:04:13.920 --> 1:04:16.200
<v Speaker 2>would mean that no wild card makes it from any

1:04:16.240 --> 1:04:20.760
<v Speaker 2>other division, and Washington makes it. So No, Oh, we

1:04:20.880 --> 1:04:23.200
<v Speaker 2>have a little breaking news real quick, and then we'll go.

1:04:23.800 --> 1:04:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Adam Silver just released a statement on Kyrie. Oh well, gosh,

1:04:29.480 --> 1:04:33.760
<v Speaker 2>we're late here. I gotta get to work, Adam Silver says, quote,

1:04:34.080 --> 1:04:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Kyrie made a reckless decision to post a link to

1:04:36.560 --> 1:04:40.080
<v Speaker 2>film containing deeply offensive anti Semitic material. While will you

1:04:40.160 --> 1:04:42.000
<v Speaker 2>appreciate the fact that he agreed to work with the

1:04:42.040 --> 1:04:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Brooklyn Nets in the ADL to combat anti Simonitism and

1:04:44.920 --> 1:04:47.480
<v Speaker 2>other forms of discrimination, I am disappointed that he has

1:04:47.520 --> 1:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>not offered an unqualified apology, or more specifically, denounced the

1:04:51.360 --> 1:04:54.360
<v Speaker 2>vile and harmful content containing the film. He Jose publicized.

1:04:54.640 --> 1:04:56.760
<v Speaker 2>I will be meeting with Kyrie in person in the

1:04:56.840 --> 1:05:00.520
<v Speaker 2>next week to discuss this situation. All right, Adam Silver

1:05:00.680 --> 1:05:04.800
<v Speaker 2>just up to the ante. I'm not saying Adam Silver's wrong.

1:05:04.840 --> 1:05:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I actually agree with him. But Kyrie's listen, we have

1:05:10.200 --> 1:05:12.560
<v Speaker 2>to go Kyrie's heart. I don't think he's in the

1:05:12.600 --> 1:05:16.240
<v Speaker 2>wrong place. I've said this before, but that statement was

1:05:19.480 --> 1:05:23.200
<v Speaker 2>his statement was a version of I apologize if you

1:05:23.320 --> 1:05:28.200
<v Speaker 2>were offended type of thing. No, I apologize unequivocally Adam.

1:05:28.680 --> 1:05:31.160
<v Speaker 2>If the NBA would have just said, that's fine, we're

1:05:31.240 --> 1:05:34.840
<v Speaker 2>done with it, said nothing, they'd have moved on. But

1:05:35.080 --> 1:05:40.880
<v Speaker 2>now Adam Silver is meeting with him in person and

1:05:41.040 --> 1:05:45.400
<v Speaker 2>going to see if Kyrie folds his hand. That makes

1:05:45.480 --> 1:05:47.760
<v Speaker 2>this a lot messier. I thought there was a chance

1:05:47.840 --> 1:05:50.360
<v Speaker 2>the NBA is like, let's just get past this. I

1:05:50.520 --> 1:05:54.040
<v Speaker 2>decided not to, and now I'm very interested to see

1:05:54.760 --> 1:05:57.960
<v Speaker 2>how Kyrie responds. Kyrie doesn't like being backed into a corner,

1:05:58.080 --> 1:06:00.720
<v Speaker 2>even if he backed himself into it. All right, that's

1:06:00.720 --> 1:06:03.640
<v Speaker 2>today's show. Great work today, Ron Burgundy, all right, love

1:06:03.680 --> 1:06:06.040
