24
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:33,000

27
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: That is that you learning or is that just weather related?

28

29

30
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: I have my little spies around Harlem though that say,

31
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 3: you were walking around the streets Arlem yesterday when it

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: was quite chilly in some shorts. So well, listen, you

33
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: look great day. I speaking of legs, I cannot really

34
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: walk right now. I have a funny story related to

35
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: that tangentially, remind me to tell it. Maybe at the

36
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: start of the second segment. We'll do that there. We

37
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: have a ton to get to Week eleven in the NFL.

38
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: A great night in the NBA. I don't think it's

39
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: in the show, but SGA just keeps crushing fools and

40
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: has to be looked at as not only a top

41
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: fifteen player, but thus far this season a clear top

42
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: ten player. I don't think that's much in the show.

43
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: Here's what is definitely not in the show. Not in

44
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 3: the show today LaMelo Ball injured again, Deshaun Watson returning

45
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: to practice, and Taylor Heineke still in as a starter.

46
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: One other thing that's not going to be in today's show,

47
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 3: and I say this with great shame and embarrassment, We're

48
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: not going to.

49
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: Have a book club in today's show. Guys too busy

50
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: spending his gambling winnings because I didn't do the reading

51
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 4: this week. I'm the head of book club and I didn't.

52
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: Do the reading. Next week we finished the book, and

53
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: next week we do an extended book club at the

54
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: end of the Thursday episode recapping the final one hundred

55
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: fifty pages of the book. My apologies, I forgot to

56
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: do the reading, and then last night I was supposed

57
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 3: to do the reading instead I took my daughter to Broadway.

58
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: Also quick note before we get to the show. This

59
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: I very uncomfortable moments last night because Door and I

60
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 3: both dressed up because we went to Broadway and I

61
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: bought some good seats because she wanted to see Funny Girl.

62
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: With this lady named Leah Michelle who was on one

63
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: of her favorite shows. So it was a really nice

64
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: moment between door and I. The number of people giving

65
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: me the stink guy because they thought Doora and I

66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 3: were on a date made me so uncomfortable, to the

67
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: point to where right before the show started, I was like, Deora,

68
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: let's post something to my IG story.

69
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: She's like, no, why.

70
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: I just did it so I could loudly say for

71
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: the people we were sitting around me and my daughter

72
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: out on Broadway, just so it would attack that I

73
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: just didn't want to do. I didn't care, like the

74
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: people five rows over, who cares, but the people were

75
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 3: literally sitting next to I didn't.

76
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 4: It was like and it was later. It was like

77
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: a later.

78
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 3: It was an eight pm show, and your sister dressed

79
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 3: super fancy. I wore my suit from work. It was

80
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: it was un so I had to I had to

81
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: fall on that grenade im media.

82
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 4: To mind their own business. I mean, but if it

83
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 4: were that situation, it's bad.

84
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it was uncomfortable looking, I understand it. Okay, Demons,

85
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 3: where are we starting today's show?

86
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 4: All right, We're starting with the Warriors. Yeah, the Warriors

87
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 4: start to Their season has been disastrous. Yeah. While their

88
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: title defense isn't as bad as the Rams, They've still

89
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 4: yet to win a game on the road.

90
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: That's unbelievable.

91
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 4: It's crazy. Step drop fifty last night and fifty. Yeah,

92
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 4: he's had a couple of those games this year. I

93
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 4: think it was like forty seven. Yeah.

94
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: No, he's been awesome.

95
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they still managed to lose by eleven Verse

96
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 4: the Suns. You said last week that the Warriors may

97
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 4: be in serious trouble. Has his franchise earned the trust

98
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 4: for us to be patient or are you ready to

99
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 4: sound the alarm?

100
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 5: Oh?

101
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 3: I'm sounding the alarm. The franchise has earned a lot

102
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: of things, but not trust for this season. Okay, And

103
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 3: I want to talk Macro about the NBA for a moment,

104
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: and then Micro about the Warriors. It is a damn

105
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: shame that you have Steph Curry, one of the greatest

106
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: players ever still clearly in his prime, and the team stinks.

107
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: Kevin Durant one of the greatest players ever at the

108
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 3: tail end of his prime and the team stinks. And

109
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: Lebron James clearly not in his prime but far and

110
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 3: away greater than any player has ever been this deep

111
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 3: into his career and still clearly at a minimum is

112
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: Lebron one of the fifteen.

113
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 4: Best players in the league, which has.

114
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: Never happened in your eighteen, nineteen, or twenty except for

115
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: with Lebron, and those three teams are all awful. The

116
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: Lakers are the worst of them, obviously they're three and ten,

117
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 3: but the Warriors are only six and nine. The Nets,

118
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: on the other hand, are six and nine also with

119
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: all types of issues. You have, in my opinion, the

120
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: greatest player of all time Steph Curry, who is one

121
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 3: of the fifteen greatest players of all time, and Kevin Durand,

122
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 3: who is one of the twenty greatest players of all time,

123
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: all fighting off Father Time at various stages of Father

124
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 3: Time as well as almost anyone ever has. And their

125
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: teams are awful. Now with the Lakers and the Warriors,

126
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: at least they can fall back on. Yes, maybe we

127
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 3: have screwed some things up roster wise for this team

128
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: this year, but in the last few years we've won

129
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: a title. The Lakers won a title in year seventeen

130
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: for Lebron, the Warriors won the title last year. For

131
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 3: the Nets, it's just a total disaster. We'll get more

132
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: to the nets later, but they for Kevin Durant. This

133
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 3: is his fourth year with the franchise. Year one obviously

134
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: he didn't play because of the achilles and it has

135
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: just gotten worse and worse and worse each year. It's

136
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: a total travesty and as a basketball fan, it's sad

137
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: now to the Warriors. So they sent James Wiseman to

138
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: the G League. He was that is as well as

139
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 3: the Warriors have run their franchise. What does need to

140
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: be acknowledged is they had a dynasty extender cheat code,

141
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 3: which was they they were so bad the year after

142
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: Katie left, when Steph got hurt and On got hurt.

143
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: They had the number two pick of the draft and

144
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 3: they took a guy who right now looks like a

145
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: total bust. There's no way around it. I understand, you know,

146
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: with injury issues, some of it's not his fault. They

147
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: could have taken LaMelo. Now, LaMelo's dealing with injury issues

148
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: as well. But LaMelo, at least we know, is a

149
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: good player. And that was not, you know, an unbelievable draft.

150
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: I get that, but Wiseman is right now not an

151
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 3: NBA player literally or figuratively other problem for the Warriors. Again,

152
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: these are smaller problems. They were expecting leaps from three

153
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: young guys that didn't help them at all the title

154
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: last year. Wiseman he's in the G League. Moody seemingly

155
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 3: hasn't improved, and Kaminga the one guy who did play

156
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 3: a bit for them last year in the playoffs. He

157
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: is not improved, so that's a problem. They paid Jordan

158
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 3: poole Pool is not improved. That's a big problem. Steve

159
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 3: Kerr said it after they gave him his money, that

160
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 3: he's earned it. They're proud of him, but he needs

161
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 3: to get better. He's gone in the other direction. In fact,

162
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: has only played well when he has started. He had

163
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: a great game the other day when he was starting

164
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 3: for Clay. And then we get to their second biggest problem,

165
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 3: which is Clay. And I listen, everybody likes Clay, and

166
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: Clay is you know, has been very honest and very

167
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 3: vulnerable about how he doesn't think some of this commentary

168
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 3: is fair and he thinks it's mean, and you know,

169
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 3: give him time. I have massive respect for Clay Thompson,

170
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: first of all the player. I have massive respect for

171
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: Clay Thompson the person. I also think it is somewhat

172
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 3: sports heroic that, coming off a blown acl and then

173
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 3: a blown achilles, he was ever able to take the

174
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 3: court again in any capacity, much less have some moments

175
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: last year route to winning a fourth championship. He deserves

176
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: credit for all of those things, but it also is

177
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 3: our job as commentators to be honest about where he

178
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: is now as a player. And right now, as a player,

179
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 3: he's hurting me. Their defense is a disaster. He used

180
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: to be great on that end, and he's not a

181
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: sniper at the moment. Maybe he will be. And then

182
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: you get to Drama, who has not had the injuries

183
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: but is clearly a deteriorating player. The defense has been awful,

184
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: that's his calling card. He hasn't gotten better offensively, and

185
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: oh yeah, he punched a teammate in the face right

186
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: before the season started, and now they're having a season

187
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: from hell. And I, you know, Brusard on the TV

188
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: show has floated out there a few times the possibility

189
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 3: of Ben Simmons for Drama. I that's kind of that.

190
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: You know, that's my problem for your problem. Why would

191
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 3: the Nets do it? The Nets would do it to

192
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 3: get off Ben's contract and to maybe add a real

193
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 3: leader to that team. Why would the Warriors do it?

194
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 3: Younger and gotta shake the snow globe that Ben Simmons

195
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: is separate issue entirely. I feel badly for Ben, but

196
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 3: I think he's too deep in his own head. I

197
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 3: don't know if he's ever coming back. But everybody kills me.

198
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 3: I gotta be I gotta tread lightly when I talk

199
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 3: about Andrew Wiggins. This is a compliment, but it is

200
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: also a fact here. So Wiggins has been good. Wiggins

201
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 3: been good, but we have a decade of evidence here.

202
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 3: If Andrew Wiggins is your second best player, no matter

203
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: how good your best player is, your screwed. That is

204
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 3: not a knock on Wiggins Wiggins, but he the Warriors

205
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 3: model is not have Wiggans be your second best guy.

206
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: And I think people are maybe numb to what Steph

207
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 3: is doing. Steph is Demon's eight thirty three, seven and

208
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 3: six on the year, averaging thirty three, seven and six

209
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 3: on fifty three percent from the field and forty five

210
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: percent from three But the concern for them is he

211
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: had fifty last night and they lost. He had thirty

212
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: nine and nine a week ago. Two weeks ago and

213
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 3: they lost to the Magic. They lost the other night,

214
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: uh to Sacramento when Steph just had a you know

215
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: a who home twenty seven, six and four. It feels

216
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 3: like they have no chance to win a game like

217
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 3: that if.

218
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 4: He's not unbelievable.

219
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 3: So right now, the West think about it. Warriors are bad.

220
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: Kawhi doesn't really play anymore. He's a total unknown. The

221
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: Lakers stink. The Suns are really good, but I have

222
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: real concerns about them at the end of the season.

223
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 3: So then who do you have? The Blazers you believe

224
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: in them, I don't. The Timberwolves. Shockingly, Gobert hasn't contributed

225
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: big to winning. So you have the Nuggets and you

226
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 3: have the maps, like two teams that are based around one,

227
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 3: in Luca's case, historically great player and in Jokic's case,

228
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 3: really great player.

229
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 4: Like it's it is.

230
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 3: A weird conference right now, and the Warriors' issues are

231
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 3: multifaceted and super concerning.

232
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 4: Next all right, the seventy two Dolphins can now get

233
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 4: some rest after the Commanders ruined Philly's perfect season. The

234
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 4: Eagles had a rough start, and even everyone is quick

235
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 4: to judgment after the loss of the division rival.

236
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but what a loss.

237
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 4: To Jeff's Saturday and the Colts prove the Eagles to

238
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 4: be total frauds.

239
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: Listen, it'd be a really really bad loss. And you know,

240
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: we always got to be careful, and I did this

241
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: getting ahead of ourselves, just anointing someone the one seed.

242
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: You know, three weeks ago we talked on this show

243
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: about how overwhelmingly likely it was that the Bills were

244
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 3: going to be the one seed. They're currently the sixth seed,

245
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 3: and the Eagles it seemed like they had it locked up.

246
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: But all of a sudden, you lose one game you're

247
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: not supposed to at home against Washington, and now you're like,

248
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: oh boy, a lot of pressure on you.

249
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 4: Now.

250
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 3: I do think Philly should be able to dominate INDI's

251
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 3: offensive line, force Matt Ryan in some turnovers and win

252
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: that game. But if the question is the question is

253
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: not correct me. If I'm wrong, do I expect Philly

254
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: to lose? The question is if they lose, will it

255
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: show their frauds?

256
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 4: Correct?

257
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 3: Yep, frauds is wrong. But a loss losing back to

258
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 3: back weeks in twenty twenty two to Taylor Heineke and

259
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: Matt Ryan slash Jeff Saturday, I think would expose you

260
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 3: as a non serious contender. I do think that, ah Nick.

261
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: The Chiefs lost to Matt Ryan and the Colts. I

262
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 3: understand that. Listen when Matt Ryan plays, the Colts are frisky.

263
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: But there should be no complacency for Philly whatsoever.

264
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 4: This week.

265
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: They're a debt, they're obviously a desperate team. But the

266
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 3: Vikings only have one loss, the Giants only have two losses,

267
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: the Cowboys only have three losses. Philly can't, you know,

268
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: can't give away games after giving away that Washington game.

269
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: And by the way, for Philly, after Indy, they're home

270
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: for green Bay. Now I don't think green Bay is good,

271
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: but then a home for Tennessee at the Giants, at

272
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: the Bears, who all of a sudden are frisky at Dallas,

273
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: then a home for New Orleans, and then a home

274
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 3: for the Giants at the end of the way. Point

275
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: is this at Indy is their second easiest game remaining.

276
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: Their only game easier is home for New Orleans. It's

277
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 3: a game they should win. It's a game I expect

278
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: them to win next. And by the way, did Washington

279
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 3: expose the Eagles? The poll question, Oh, I should have

280
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 3: said this off the top. If you're watching us live

281
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 3: on YouTube right now, we'll get to your chat questions.

282
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: In the third block of the show, fifty six percent

283
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 3: said they did expose the Eagles. Listen, frauds is too

284
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 3: strong to me. But I'm yet all year to consider

285
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: the Eagles a super Bowl team and I still do not.

286
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 4: Next, oh, Ed, Dallas goes to Minnesota the Sunday. After

287
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 4: winning the game of the year, You'd think that the

288
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 4: Vikings would be favored, and after a loss to Green Bay,

289
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 4: you think the Dallas would be a big road dog.

290
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 4: But believe it or not, the Cowboys are favored by

291
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 4: one and a half in Minnesota. What does Vegas know

292
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 4: that we don't. This is a confusing line.

293
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: I gotta admit when we on Monday show, I had

294
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 3: you guess it, and I think you guess Minnesota by

295
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: three or two and a half something like that, And

296
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 3: at the time it was Dallas by two. So it's

297
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 3: moved a half point. So I think there's and we'll

298
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,239
Speaker 3: talk about this more on tomorrow's Gambling Show. Also, by

299
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: the way, I meant to tell you another thing we're

300
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 3: gonna do in the Sea Block. So we'rena talk about

301
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 3: Demonsey's twitch stream. We need some of you subscribers to

302
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: this show, if you're a gamer, to check out Demond's

303
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 3: twitch stream. He's gonna get that going. So we're gonna

304
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 3: talk about that. Remind me to talk about that Demondsey

305
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: in the Sea Block. Uh. But on Monday show, we

306
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 3: talked about how we were surprised by the line. Here's

307
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: what I think is going on there. There is the

308
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: Cowboys blowing a game, Minnesota having their pinnacle of the season,

309
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 3: great amazing win. Sometimes you feel like the Cowboys are

310
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 3: gonna come in more desperate, the Vikings might have a

311
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: bit of a hangover. So that element of it exists

312
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 3: right then. What you also have is the odd thing

313
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 3: with the Vikings this year is they are doing this

314
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 3: despite Kirk Cousins having his worst year with the Vikings

315
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 3: by far is passer rating. Every year with the Vikings

316
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 3: have been north of one hundred. This year it's eighty seven.

317
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 3: It's like twentieth in the league, and they are justin.

318
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: Jefferson is having an unbelievable season. I do wonder and

319
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 3: this was Buffalo tried this, but I wonder if it's

320
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,239
Speaker 3: going to be even more, even more dramatic against the

321
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 3: Cowboys if teams are gonna start treating Justin Jefferson, giving

322
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 3: him the Randy Moss treatment of we're just doubling you.

323
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 3: We are doubling you every play and seeing if someone

324
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: else can beat us. Now I know the Vikings. They

325
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 3: have feeling. They just traded for Hockinson, they have Dalvin Cook,

326
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 3: but Justin Jefferson has been the engine that has been

327
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: driving that offense. So it's what I would do. I

328
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: would try to make feel and have a monster game.

329
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 3: I would try to see who else can beat me.

330
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 3: I also think that the Vikings are one of the

331
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: teams that they and Philly lead the NFL in forced turnovers,

332
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: and that's listen, credit to them for that. That is

333
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 3: a great thing. But you also worry that if the

334
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 3: turnover starts, luck starts to regress a bit like it

335
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 3: did with Philly, that they're gonna give a game up.

336
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 3: I like the Vikings in this game. I expect the

337
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 3: Vikings to win, but that line is fishy.

338
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 4: All right, last, all right, things are really cool.

339
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. There was a poll seventy six percent like

340
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 3: Dallas minus the point and a half.

341
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 4: Wow, that's more than I would have thought. All right,

342
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 4: next trouble in Paradise in Brooklyn. Yeah, the team is

343
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 4: reportedly frustrated with Ben simmons lack of production, and Katie

344
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 4: finally opened up about his frustrations, saying the team wasn't

345
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 4: putting pushing him enough. Yeah. He also threw his starting

346
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 4: lineup under the bus, saying, look at our starting lineup,

347
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 4: Edmund Sumner, Royce, O'Neil, Joe Harris, Nick Claxton and me.

348
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 4: It's no disrespect, but what are you expecting from that group?

349
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 4: You're expecting that we play well? Because number seven is

350
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 4: out there? Does he have a point or not? All right?

351
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 4: What did you think of that quote? I one hundred

352
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 4: percent side with Katie. What do you mean so talk

353
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 4: to me? So I think that once you look past

354
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 4: the fact that Katie is just a good basketball player,

355
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 4: and I don't really think takes the stance of wanting

356
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 4: to be the be a leader. He just wants to

357
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 4: play good basketball. It's like I think that you guys

358
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 4: are putt like, look at his starting lineup. Okay, I

359
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 4: do think that in the fashion that he did it

360
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 4: was not great. So all right.

361
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 3: So I think from a basketball analysis standpoint, he's totally correct.

362
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: From a team standpoint, that's a crummy thing to say

363
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: out loud to a reporter like that is. And Dragonfly

364
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 3: Jones had this, and it's really funny, And credit to

365
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 3: Dragonfly Jones for remembering this or finding this KD. The

366
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 3: tweet that he sent that exposed the fact that he

367
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 3: used burner accounts was when he accidentally sent this tweet

368
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: from his own account. This tweet read, imagine taking Russ

369
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 3: off that team, see how bad they were. KD can't win.

370
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 4: A championship with those caps.

371
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: Point being it's a lot like what he's saying here

372
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 3: that look at the guys around him. And I'm not

373
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 3: saying he's wrong. I don't love him saying this to

374
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 3: Chris Haynes. The other thing that I thought was to

375
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 3: be totally honest ridiculous was him arguing, not arguing, stating

376
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 3: that he asked for a trade because they didn't practice enough.

377
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: He wanted more shell drills and close out drills. First

378
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 3: of all, that is a ludicrous reason asked for a trade.

379
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 3: Second of all, you're Kevin Durant. If you want to

380
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 3: practice more, you can call practice if you want to

381
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 3: do different things in brain and it's not like, wow,

382
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 3: there are other stars on the team. No, there weren't.

383
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 3: James Harden got traded and Kyrie wasn't there. So they're

384
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 3: not doing what you want to practice because they're deferring

385
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: to Patty Mills. No, like it's it's a crazy thing

386
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 3: to say. And that is where the leadership problem bites it,

387
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 3: because yes, I understand he just wants to play ball.

388
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 4: I get that.

389
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 3: But if you're if you want to get if it's

390
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 3: so bad you want to get out of there, then

391
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 3: you you have a responsibility to try to change things.

392
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: It to me is like asking for a divorce without

393
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 3: first telling your spouse. Here's what you're doing that is

394
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 3: irritating me. Try to fix it. So and it's such

395
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 3: a the idea that the reason he wanted out and

396
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 3: none to do with Kyrie, had nothing to do with

397
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 3: the organizational upheaval, had to do with they weren't practicing enough.

398
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 3: I just don't buy it. I flatly just don't buy it.

399
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 3: And now, by the way, the other news from Woades

400
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 3: late last night is that Kyrie's coming back, that Kyrie's

401
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 3: completed the steps and he's coming back. I don't know

402
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: that that helps them to be totally honest. I think

403
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 3: the big news in that Haynes article that wasn't from

404
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 3: KD was that league executives are still quietly monitoring to

405
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 3: see if KD asked for a trade again. This thing

406
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 3: in Brooklyn's not gonna work, and their only way to

407
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 3: reboot the franchise is to trade KD.

408
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 4: I don't know, listen.

409
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 3: I'm a season ticket holder, so it's in my interest

410
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 3: that they don't. It's unbelievable to watch him play basketball

411
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 3: every night. You know that they're at home, but this

412
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 3: team's drawing dead. They are absolutely drawing dead. Their best

413
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 3: case scenario is sneak into the playoffs, and their best

414
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 3: best case scenario is KD is unbelievable for a few

415
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 3: weeks and they steal around. But the fact that their

416
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 3: ceiling is round two is a total indictment on what

417
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 3: Sean Marks has built. The lack of a culture there.

418
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: The mayhem Kyrie is wrought.

419
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 4: And French just put a big target on their back.

420
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 4: I feel like, who did that conference? Like whatever, everything

421
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 4: that Katie said, I feel like that makes other teams

422
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 4: look at you as like a like a certain way,

423
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 4: like you just your pushover at that point.

424
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 3: I think you're right. I think that they don't.

425
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 4: You're not.

426
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 3: I think teams know we show some resistance and this

427
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: team will roll over. Which is how you allow one

428
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty three points to the Kings like they

429
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 3: did a couple of nights ago. All right, Uh, I

430
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 3: have Oh, I don't think we have a pole question

431
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: for this. However, we have two amazing things coming up

432
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 3: in the B block, plus a game we have.

433
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 4: This is gonna be a long B block telling you right.

434
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 3: Now because I have an unbelievable curb your enthusiasm esque

435
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 3: story about me at the gym. And oh, we're getting

436
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 3: nick soccer corner up and running. With the World Cup

437
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 3: on deck. We're gonna give out some winners, some gambling winners.

438
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 3: That's next.

439
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 4: What's right?

440
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,359

442
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,600

Speaker 4: in Kansas City, and I haven't logged in it for

456
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 4: so long, and they changed it to where I can't

00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,639

466
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 4: it's fine. It was also my way of saying, let's

467
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 4: let me let let's lock.

468
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 3: In here all right, before we get to the World Cup,

469
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 3: before we get to our game. So you've seen the

470
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 3: last two days I've been walking with basically a limp,

471
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 3: like my legs are stepped. Yeah, So here's what's so.

472
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 4: Let me give background here.

473
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 3: So anytime I hit a big gambling win, I try

474
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 3: to take some of that money and do a like

475
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 3: a kind of like long term life improvement thing. So

476
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 3: the last time I hit a real big win, we

477
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 3: hired that weekly chef. The guy comes to the house

478
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: once a week, makes some Meals's healthy, it's good, take

479
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 3: some stress off me and your mom did it. So

480
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 3: I hit that parlay last week, finally took the plunge,

481
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 3: hired a personal trainer. I'm gonna work out with this

482
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 3: guy a couple of days a week, try to get healthy, right.

483
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 3: So Wednesday we go to this gym in Harlem and

484
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 3: he's like, I just want to basically see how you move,

485
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 3: do a bunch of stretches and see your form on things.

486
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 3: He's like, we're not gonna do really any weight stuff.

487
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 3: So the reason I'm walking funny is because I have

488
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 3: the world's tightest hamstrings. I have no flexibility in my

489
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: legs whatsoever. Even though I've been really good on the peloton,

490
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 3: I have no flexibility. So we did a lot of stretching,

491
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 3: and it just the stretching kind of messed up my

492
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 3: legs and I think I was working muscles that I

493
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 3: worked before. The other thing we did was he wanted

494
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 3: to see my form of different you know, on curls

495
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,719
Speaker 3: and on overhead press and then on bench press, just

496
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 3: my form. So where at a packed jym bro he

497
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 3: has me lay down on the bench and he has

498
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 3: just the bar and he's like, I want you to

499
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 3: bench press just the bar.

500
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 4: So he goes, I'm not going to tell you anything.

501
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 3: I just want to see if weight's not a problem,

502
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 3: what you think the right form is?

503
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 4: Like, okay, you know what I mean. That makes sense.

504
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 3: So he told showed me I had my hands a

505
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: little too close and I was bringing it like slightly

506
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: at an angle. So he was like, no, like, you know,

507
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 3: do it exactly like this. So I'm like okay. And

508
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 3: it's a forty five pound again it's the bar.

509
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 4: With no weights on it.

510
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 3: Okay, So it's fine. And then he's like, Okay, now

511
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: I want to see how many of those you can

512
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 3: do consecutively without losing form. So even though it's just

513
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 3: forty five pound bar, after twenty five you're you know,

514
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: what I mean, at least for me, your arms get tired.

515
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 3: But he's he's saying to me, He's like, I want

516
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 3: to see I want to see how you do when

517
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 3: you're really exhausted. Right, So I got in my head

518
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm gonna try to do forty Now.

519
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 3: Maybe people that work out are gonna laugh. They're gonna

520
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 3: say forty pounds or forty times of forty five, this

521
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 3: should be super easy whatever. I have no shame in it.

522
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get in shape.

523
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: Right.

524
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 3: So I get past thirty five and it's, you know,

525
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: one of those things like your arms are shaking, you're tired,

526
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 3: all this stuff, But I'm not worried about it because

527
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 3: I know what I'm doing. Bro. I finally get the

528
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 3: last one up and it's like a full blown, like

529
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: arm shaking.

530
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 4: I'm exhausted.

531
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: Right.

532
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 3: There's a guy standing like four feet to my right

533
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 3: back right who clearly recognized me, who had just walked

534
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: over so was totally unaware that I had been doing

535
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 3: this for five minutes or whatever, and I'm sure just

536
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 3: saw me like struggling with just the bar and I

537
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 3: almost left the gym. I was like, this is my

538
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,239
Speaker 3: worst nightmare. This guy and hopefully whoever he is, if

539
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 3: he's watching right now now knows or at least it

540
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 3: likes me. Because if it's someone who recognized me and

541
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 3: hates me and substitiously like you know, put on TikTok.

542
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 3: Here's Nick right about to crumble. Ben's pressing forty five pounds.

543
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if Oliver Survill, I don't know. All

544
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 3: make it ah, So that's my workout story. Also, I

545
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 3: do think it's good advice if you win money gambling,

546
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 3: spend them. If you have debt or whatever, yeah, use

547
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: some pay off debt all that, but do something. Spend

548
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 3: some of the money in something that will provide returns

549
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 3: or that you can enjoy long term. I think it's

550
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: a great way to kind of remind yourself of the

551
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 3: gambling win and also improve yourself.

552
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 4: All those things.

553
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 3: All right now time, I'm so excited, demons. Whether you're

554
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 3: excited or not about this, I don't really care.

555
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 4: What are we doing?

556
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 3: My friend?

557
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 4: All right, guys, if you like Nick, Nick writes tennis corner,

558
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 4: buckle up, yeah, grab your footballs and umbrellas, because it's

559
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 4: time for the FIFA forecasts. Yes, the tournament begins this

560
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 4: Sunday with a match between Qatar and Ecuador. Yep, your

561
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 4: favorite team, Brazil yep. Coincidentally are also the odds on

562
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 4: the favorite to win it all at plus four hundred. Yeah,

563
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 4: they're always the odds on favorite. That's fine, go ahead.

564
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 4: The US is all the way down to plus fifteen thousand,

565
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 4: which is freaking one hundred and fifty to one. Yeah,

566
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 4: that's wild.

567
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 3: That's not that wild the US. Let me can I

568
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 3: tell you the real quick?

569
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 4: I guess we are?

570
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 3: World Cup history. World Cup started in nineteen thirty. Nineteen

571
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: thirty World Cup, the US made it to the semifinals.

572
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 3: That sounds amazing until you realize that there were only

573
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 3: thirteen teams in the tournament, and in the semifinals they

574
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 3: lost six to one. The very next year in the

575
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 3: World Cup, in the next World Cup nineteen thirty four,

576
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 3: they finished dead last. Of the eleven World Cups that

577
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: followed that, they didn't make it to ten of them.

578
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 3: They're in a bit of a soccer drought. Starting in

579
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety. We have now qualified for six of the

580
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 3: seven World Cups, so that's good, and in four of

581
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 3: them we have made it out of the group stage

582
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: in one of them, we have made it past the

583
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 3: round of sixteen. That was two in South Korea. The

584
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: goal here for the United States. So the way the

585
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 3: World Cup works, if you don't know, there's thirty two

586
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 3: teams that qualify. Okay, they break those up into eight

587
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: eight groups. Four teams per group. You follow group A b.

588
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 4: CD E f G. Right, that's eight.

589
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 3: Is there an H e G No, that's five six

590
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 3: H Yeah, So ABCD FGH. There are four teams per group,

591
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 3: and it is random what four teams are in which group,

592
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 3: So there's relatively random. So there's like a group of

593
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: deaths some years like, oh my god, that's going to

594
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 3: be impossible. Because the way it works is two of

595
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 3: the four teams from each group advance, so you play

596
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 3: every team in your group once you get three points

597
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 3: for a win, one point for a draw, zero points

598
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 3: for a tie, and then the two group leaders advanced

599
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 3: to the knockout round. That's then single elimination sixteen teams,

600
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 3: you know, and they play down to one. The US, yes,

601
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 3: has made it to the round of sixteen four times.

602
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 3: They've made it to the round of eight once and

603
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 3: that's never further except for again first World Cup.

604
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 4: Ever, when there's only thirteen teams, that doesn't count.

605
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 3: So the big goal for the US is get out

606
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: of the group stage and then move on from there.

607
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 3: So in our group, which is Group B, there is England,

608
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 3: who is the huge favorite, US, Wales, and Iran. Iran's

609
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: drawing dead. Everyone should beat Iran and they get their

610
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 3: three points against I run. We play Wales in the

611
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 3: opening match for US on Monday. And by the way,

612
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 3: the World Cup's gonna be on Fox and FS one.

613
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 3: There're gonna be days the TV show and the podcast

614
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 3: are off because the TV shows off and because we're

615
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 3: preempted by the World Cup. So our schedule is gonna

616
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 3: be a little odd the next few weeks, but it'll

617
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 3: be great. The World Cup is so fun, it's so awesome.

618
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,760
Speaker 3: If we beat Wales in our opening match, we will advance.

619
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 3: I believe you beat Wales and get three points against Wales,

620
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 3: and you beat Iran, you're guaranteed to advance if you

621
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 3: get two wins. But if you beat Wales, Wales is

622
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 3: the other team we're competing with, really because England, who

623
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 3: would be shocking if they don't advance. So that opening match,

624
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 3: if we lose to them, then we have to at

625
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 3: least draw against England, which is gonna be tough. Here's

626
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 3: the other thing to know the US. It'd be nice

627
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 3: to win the group, but we play group in the

628
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 3: round of sixteen. If we get there second place Group

629
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 3: B place first place Group A, first place Group A

630
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 3: play second place Group B. You follow that Group A

631
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 3: is Netherlands, Senegal, Ecuador, and Cutter Cutter's drawing dead in

632
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,439
Speaker 3: that Senegal and Ecuador one of them is gonna finish

633
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 3: second and the Netherlands is likely gonna win it.

634
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 4: They had a question, Yeah, you do know I have

635
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 4: a question on here right or are we just? Are

636
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 4: we going? Are you answering that through the what's what

637
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 4: could your question be? What am I?

638
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 1: Yeah?

639
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 4: You are up. I'm just doing it. I'm just doing it.

640
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just doing it. You got to it.

641
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 3: I'm just doing it. I just I'm treating this like tennis.

642
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 3: Are you set it up? And I just go. So

643
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: a perfect world for the US if we finish second

644
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 3: in the group as is predicted, is somehow the Netherlands

645
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 3: finishes second in Group A. That way, in the round

646
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 3: of sixteen, we get Senegal, or Ecuador and avoid the Netherlands.

647
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 3: I think we have a be very tough for us

648
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 3: to beat the Netherlands in my opinion. Now, I talked

649
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 3: to Stu Holden about that. He thought that if we

650
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 3: play well enough to get out of the group, we

651
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 3: have a good chance to beat the Netherlands. So maybe

652
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 3: I'm wrong. I have already made a few World Cup

653
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 3: wagers that I will share with the audience, and then

654
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 3: I will talk about the other some predictions quickly, Okay,

655
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 3: I have I have Brazil and Argentina both to win

656
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 3: their group parlayed at even money. I think that is

657
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 3: a great bet, a great bet we'll get to their

658
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 3: groups in a moment. It would be shocking to me

659
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 3: if either doesn't win their group. I also have a

660
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 3: longer list of I have a five team World Cup

661
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 3: parlay of teams not necessarily to win their group, but

662
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 3: just to advance. So it's Denmark, Croatia, Mexico, the US

663
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 3: and Uruguay. Those five teams all to make it to

664
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 3: the knockout round. That is plus eight sixty. So I've

665
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 3: made those bets. So I will just quickly go group

666
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 3: by group and tell you what I think is going

667
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 3: to happen. Okay, Group A, the most likely outcome is

668
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 3: that the Netherlands wins it and Ecuador is the other

669
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 3: one to advance. Now the odds say Senegal is more

670
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 3: likely than Ecuadora. I would like Senegal because it's more fun,

671
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 3: like when the African countries that don't have a long

672
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 3: history of World Cup success do well.

673
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 4: But I think Ecuador is more likely.

674
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 3: Group B I expected to go with the odds. I

675
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 3: expect England to advance and the US also advance. Group

676
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 3: C Argentina. It would be shocking to me if Argentina

677
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 3: doesn't win that group. Saudi Arabia has no shot. It'll

678
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 3: come down between Mexico and Poland. As you could tell

679
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 3: from the previous bet, I like Mexico. Group D. Where's

680
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 3: Group D on here Group D France and Denmark. This

681
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 3: is Franton. Denmark got pretty fortunate. France and Denmark are

682
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 3: either one could win the group. France is the favorite,

683
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 3: but the other two teams Tunisia and Australia. It would

684
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 3: be shocking if either one of them knocked France or

685
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,919
Speaker 3: Denmark out. And in fact, another bet that I'm gonna

686
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 3: make is France and Denmark to be the two teams

687
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 3: to advance from that group. Group E. You have two

688
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 3: dominant teams, Spain and Germany, two teams that could win

689
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,439
Speaker 3: the whole thing. They will advance. It's a bad beat

690
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 3: for Japan. It is terrible luck for Japan that they

691
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 3: are in a group with Spain and Germany and Costa

692
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 3: Rica's in that group has no shot. Group F. This

693
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 3: is I like Croatia's chances that this is another pretty

694
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 3: soft group after Belgium up top, with Morocco and Canada

695
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 3: being the other teams. So Belgium and Croatia that's the

696
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: odds on favorites. Group G. Brazil is the huge favorite,

697
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 3: Cameroon batting markets to tell you no shot, and then

698
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 3: Switzerland and Serbia. I have no idea. I have no

699
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 3: clue one of those two teams is gonna finish second

700
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 3: to Brazil. And then what group have I not done?

701
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 4: Oh?

702
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 3: Group F and H? Wait No I did? Group Oh?

703
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 3: Group H is the only one? Uh Ghana, which is

704
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 3: a team that beat the US in the World Cup.

705
00:39:59,400 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 4: Few years ago.

706
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 3: Oh, we're a decade ago, I guess or US played

707
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 3: gone in the World Cup. I should say is in

708
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 3: this along with South Korea. Portugal is the big favorite.

709
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 3: I think Uruguay is. I think it will be Portugal

710
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 3: and Uruguay there As far as I said on the

711
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 3: previous podcast, I pick Brazil every year. Brazil is the

712
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 3: heavy favorite. Argentina is the second best favorite. Another fun

713
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: bet you can make is continent winner. So will the

714
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 3: winner come from Europe that's minus one ninety. Will the

715
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 3: winner come from the Americas North America, South America that's

716
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 3: plus one p forty. I like that bet because you

717
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 3: get not only Brazil and Argentina the two favorites, you

718
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 3: also get Uruguay and cos Righetta never shot, but you

719
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 3: also get the US if the US were to go

720
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 3: on some magical run and Mexico. So those are my bets.

721
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 3: That's where I'm at. I'm super excited for it. It

722
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 3: would be a really great story of Argentina wins. It's

723
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 3: the If Argentina wins this World Cup, it's cements, in

724
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 3: my opinion, Messy as the greatest soccer player ever and

725
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 3: it's the one thing missing from his resume. If he

726
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 3: has a great World Cup and if they win it,

727
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 3: I think it cements him. Cristiano Ronaldo maybe you might

728
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 3: say the same with Portugal. So that's fun. Brazil's m

729
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 3: pick I love. By the way, we have some viewers

730
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 3: in Brazil that were so happy that I picked Brazil.

731
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 3: So there it is. There's the World Cup corner. Are

732
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 3: you gonna watch these matches with me?

733
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 4: Some of them? I don't know about that, but I'm

734
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 4: all good for our World Cup questionnaire that I have

735
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 4: in a couple of hours now. So you have a

736
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 4: World Cup questionnaire.

737
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 3: One. Oh, I owe you a smart ass. I thought

738
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 3: maybe you actually had to do it for your office

739
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 3: job with Fox. You're gonna have to grind some World

740
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 3: Cup tape, buddy, I guarantee, because there's gonna be a

741
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 3: lot of days the TV shows whose tape you have

742
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 3: to do usually is off. You're gonna be grinding World

743
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 3: Cup tape all right. Time for a game we are

744
00:41:58,480 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 3: playing this or that.

745
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 4: Urzadi Football travels to Green Bay, Green Bay this week,

746
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 4: where the four and six Packers will take on the

747
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 4: six and three Titans. The Packers or are alive or dead?

748
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 3: The Packers are dead, Okay, I'm shocked people think that

749
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 3: because the Packers stole that win against Dallas that they're

750
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 3: still alive. Even Let's just give them the win tonight.

751
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna get it, but let's just

752
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 3: give them the win tonight. They still have the rest

753
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 3: of the way after tonight, Philly at Philly, at Chicago,

754
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 3: A buying in the Rams. That's fine. At Miami, home

755
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 3: for Minnesota, home for Detroit. They can't get more than

756
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 3: eight wins. They're ceilings. Eight wins. Eight wins will not

757
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 3: get them in all right?

758
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 4: Next, all right, the Bills and Browns are preparing for

759
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 4: three to six feet of snow and Orchard Park this weekend,

760
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 4: which would lead to some crazy football. Snow games are

761
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 4: the best or worst? Oh, I think they're the best.

762
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 4: I love them.

763
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 3: I wouldn't love them all the time, but the occasional

764
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 3: crazy snow game where you can't see then I think

765
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 3: it's fun. I really like snow games.

766
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 4: I want how much fun that the players are having.

767
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 3: You know, some players don't mind it. The it it's

768
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 3: if it is. If they do play there and it

769
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 3: is two feet of snow, it will be what. It

770
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 3: is great theater, it's great visually, and it looks really cool.

771
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 3: I love it.

772
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 4: Next, all right, Chiefs are back on primetime against the

773
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 4: Chargers this Sunday night. But watching games against Brandon Staley

774
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 4: are always taxing on you. But the Charge are so injured. Okay, yeah, yeah,

775
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 4: but the Charge is so injured. Do you for for

776
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 4: see Chiefs blow or trap game?

777
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 3: Neither? Actually, I don't think it's a trap game because

778
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 3: I think the Chiefs are gonna take it super seriously.

779
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 4: But I don't think they're gonna blow them out.

780
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 3: I mean, there's the Chargers last gasp to have any

781
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 3: shot at winning the division. I expect this to be

782
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 3: another Chiefs comeback. Chargers get out early. And if you're

783
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 3: gonna bet this game, I would not bet the Chiefs

784
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 3: minus the six. I would wait to end the game

785
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 3: the Chargers take the lead, then you can probably get

786
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 3: the Chiefs on the money line or maybe like minus

787
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 3: two and a half.

788
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 4: Next all right, Speaking of the Chiefs, My Holmes is

789
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 4: the MVP favorite, followed by A Tree, Josh Allen Tula,

790
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 4: and Jalen Hurts, all tied at plus five hundred. Yeah,

791
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 4: which of your takes aged worse? Tula is a backup

792
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 4: or Hearts is QB five?

793
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 3: Listen, your Hurts is QB twenty five was not a

794
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 3: bad take. It was at that moment going into the

795
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 3: year that was a fair ranking of him. He has

796
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 3: played better since then. To it, the Tua one is

797
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 3: a backup? Is right now looks.

798
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 4: Like a bad take. I gotta tell you something. I'm

799
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 4: gonna whisper. I'm still not fully sold on to it.

800
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 4: I still don't totally you think you think Tyreek Hilling

801
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 4: Jalen Waller are just making him look.

802
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 3: I just don't fully believe in him yet. I'm sorry.

803
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 3: I just fully I don't fully believe in him yet.

804
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 3: But I don't want them. I don't want Joy Taylor

805
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 3: and the Miami fans to kill me. So let's just

806
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 3: move on next.

807
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 4: All right. The Lakers have been a little since Sunday,

808
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 4: or I've been off since Sunday, maybe long enough for

809
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 4: Lebron to look at the Lakers three and ten record

810
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 4: and regret resigning for another year. Lebron resigning was the

811
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,439
Speaker 4: worst decision of his career or the right move.

812
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 3: I think it was a terrible decision. I said at

813
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 3: the time, I didn't think he would do it. It

814
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 3: didn't make sense to me. I don't like it.

815
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 4: There's nothing about it. I like.

816
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 3: It makes me very sad that this happened, and I

817
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 3: don't want to be sad in the show. Let's take

834
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,240

837
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 3: want to read the book in a week, it's a

838
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 3: quick read, A little History of the World by eh Gombek.

839
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 3: It's awesome. We'll do that next week. Deman's a time

840
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 3: now for our listener questions, go right ahead.

841
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 4: All right? NOA. Rodriguez asks, what does Steff have to

842
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 4: do to pass Bird on your list? I think it's

843
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 4: closer than most people think. Neither were great defenders, would

844
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 4: play good team defense and great offensively.

845
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 3: Okay, so I understand thinking of Steph versus Bird because

846
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 3: on my list was tenth of the fifty gradest players

847
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 3: last fifty years, and Byrd is the next perimeter player

848
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 3: on the list. But he would have to pass Shack

849
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 3: a team and then Bird because Shack's nine, a team's eight,

850
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 3: Bird is seven. I think one more to jump them all,

851
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 3: he would need one more ring and he jumps them all.

852
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 3: One more ring as the guy and he.

853
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 4: Jumps them all.

854
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:43,439
Speaker 3: One more league MVP and he jumps Shack and maybe

855
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:43,919
Speaker 3: a team.

856
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 4: But I don't know about Bird.

857
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 3: Uh, can he jump them without a ring or an

858
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 3: MVP maybe, but it would take an excellent longevity that

859
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 3: a smaller player typically is not able to have. Right now, though,

860
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 3: I go ahead, I.

861
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 4: Think the way that Steph plays, oh.

862
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 3: I think he'll be able to play for a long time.

863
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,879
Speaker 3: But I'm not about to dominate the game, like put

864
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 3: his impact on the game. You're saying, because he's such.

865
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 4: A great shooter.

866
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,919
Speaker 3: It's like, no, that's true. Well, the level he's playing

867
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 3: at right now, plays at this level all year. Is

868
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 3: an MVP caliber player this year, though, the team stinks,

869
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,439
Speaker 3: so that Steph just to.

870
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 4: Be very quick on it.

871
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:32,280
Speaker 3: Looking at my list, Steph four time first team All NBA,

872
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 3: three times second team, two time League MVP and four rings. Obviously,

873
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 3: Shack eight time first Team All NBA, two times second team,

874
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 3: one league MVP and four rings, obviously a team six

875
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 3: time first Team All NBA, three times second team, one MVP,

876
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 3: two rings. You also, with a team got to incorporate

877
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 3: greatest defensive player ever or of the last fifty years.

878
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 3: Bird nine time first Team All NBA, three time MVP,

879
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 3: three rings. It's tough, man, It's hollowed ground.

880
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 4: All right? Next? All right? Omar Rodriguez asked, Nick, are

881
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 4: you going to the World Cup in twenty twenty six.

882
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 4: I'm already saving money from when they're in the States.

883
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 4: One hund I'll go. I mean all the what of

884
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 4: the you know what?

885
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 3: Let me check the World Cup post cities twenty twenty six.

886
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 3: I want the full list of them, because, if I'm

887
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 3: not mistaken, Kansas City got one. Yep, Kansas City got

888
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 3: the World Cup at Arrowhead. It's one of the eleven

889
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 3: host cities.

890
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 4: I will go to that.

891
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 3: I will just see so the stadiums'll probably go to

892
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 3: some of them because it's going to be in New York,

893
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 3: in LA, and Dallas, in San Francisco, in Miami, in Atlanta,

894
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 3: in Houston, in Philly, in Boston, and Kansas City. By

895
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 3: the way, what an honor for my hometown to prove

896
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 3: what a great soccer city it is. Think about the

897
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 3: list of cities there, Okay, New York, LA, Dallas, San Francisco, Miami, Atlanta, Philly, Seattle, Houston, Boston,

898
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 3: and Kansas City. There are two cities on that list

899
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 3: that kind of stick out, like that's weird, Seattle and

900
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 3: Kansas City. And it's because they have both proven to

901
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 3: be great soccer cities. Like Chicago didn't get it. Kansas

902
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 3: City did. Kansas City is the Midwestern city. So in

903
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, I think it's on the board. I'm

904
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 3: living in LA at that point in time. Whether I'm

905
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 3: living in LA or New York, I'll go to some

906
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 3: of the games in that city, and I will make

907
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 3: it a point to go to Kansas City to see

908
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 3: the World Cup played in my hometown. It's unbelievable for

909
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 3: a city the size of Kansas City that we get

910
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:05,240
Speaker 3: to host the World Cup. It's truly truly remarkable. Also,

911
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 3: what's also going to happen, I mean, it's four years

912
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 3: down the road. A lot of international soccer fans when

913
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 3: that is approaching are going to be incredibly bummed when

914
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 3: they realize the massive geography of the United States. So

915
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 3: typically when the World Cup's in a country, it's you know,

916
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 3: the US is so huge as far as square miles.

917
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 3: It's so different than so like when the World Cup

918
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 3: was in France, and France is a big country, but

919
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 3: you could pretty easily like you could be like, I'm

920
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 3: going to a bunch of locations.

921
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 4: You can't do that in the US. Can't be like

922
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 4: I guess you maybe could do La and San Francisco.

923
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 3: But there are gonna be people that realize, oh, if

924
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 3: I want to go, I can only go to the

925
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 3: matches in one city, like you could do New York

926
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 3: to Boston or New York Philly. There's a few. But

927
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 3: and it was when it was in Brazil. There was

928
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 3: a similar issue with Brazil so massive, but the US

929
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 3: is so spread out that it's really it's like a

930
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 3: truly eleven different venues not consolidated all right.

931
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 4: Next arcmistic ass. What's something you wish you had known

932
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 4: when you first started betting on sports?

933
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 3: Oh so much. But the biggest key is too and

934
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 3: it's the hardest thing. The biggest key is to accept

935
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 3: that there are going to be losing days and not

936
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 3: try to chase it. The biggest key is to not

937
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 3: a djut And by the way, I struggle with that

938
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 3: to this day. Okay, I'm not great at it, and

939
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:56,720
Speaker 3: it's it's it is honestly. Self control is the biggest issue.

940
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,279
Speaker 3: Is can't do you have the self control to just

941
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 3: say today's not my day, I'm gonna lose Or are

942
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 3: you now all of a sudden making bets that you

943
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:13,240
Speaker 3: didn't like at noon? At seven pm because you're chasing.

944
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 3: That's the biggest key. Everyone will tell you that's the

945
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 3: biggest key. And the other one is to recognize parlays.

946
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 3: The casino loves parlays for a reason, and you cannot

947
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,479
Speaker 3: look at a parlay like it is a smart bet.

948
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 3: You can look at it like it's a fun bet.

949
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 3: And I actually think for you know, casual gamblers, it's

950
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 3: a great way to do it because it's minimal investment

951
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 3: for big reward. But you can't ever like treat You

952
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 3: have to treat that like paying for a ticket to

953
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 3: the movies. You don't expect to get any of that

954
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 3: money back. You're paying for entertainment. You're paying for the

955
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 3: fun of following the bet.

956
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 4: All right. Next, Kal Hidalgo says, we've seen the Panthers

957
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 4: and the Colts get huge wins this week after firing

958
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 4: their head coach. Do you think it's more important for

959
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 4: an NFL head coach to be a good motivator or schemer?

960
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 3: I think in the long run schemer. I think in

961
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 3: the short run, motivation can be great on a one

962
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 3: off event, but in the long run you need a

963
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 3: staff and a head coach on down that can x's

964
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:16,280
Speaker 3: and o's teams like there's.

965
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 4: There's there's no doubt about that.

966
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 3: But in the short run, I think a great motivator

967
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:25,959
Speaker 3: can be excellent next. Uh, that's a tough name. Kurt

968
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 3: Bartikia Mohana.

969
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 4: Mohan says watching Dallas Mavericks from India all year for

970
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 4: Luca magic, but despite his heroic efforts, Dallas is just

971
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 4: barely over five hundred. Do you still think Dallas can

972
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 4: win the West?

973
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 3: Listen, I'm gonna stick with it. Obviously, I've been underwhelmed

974
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 3: by some of the rest of the team. Did you

975
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 3: see the numbers yesterday?

976
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 4: Demise?

977
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 3: No, Luca didn't play yesterday. The rest of the starters demanse,

978
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 3: so they lost to the Rockets.

979
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that is.

980
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 3: The starters without Luca playing scored twenty nine points, were

981
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 3: eight of forty from the field, and two of twenty.

982
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 4: Four from three, eight for forty.

983
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 3: The t like the West because the Lakers are no

984
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 3: good and Quiet doesn't play and the Warriors are in flux.

985
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 3: I actually feel a little better about the MAVs pick,

986
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 3: but not because they've been great. Luca's been great and

987
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,479
Speaker 3: the rest of the West has been bad. The thing

988
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,720
Speaker 3: is the guy that is the perfect fit with Luca,

989
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 3: who actually might get traded at some point, but they

990
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 3: don't have the assets to get him. As Anthony Davis quietly,

991
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,760
Speaker 3: the MAVs have not done a great job surrounding Luca

992
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 3: with talent.

993
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 4: All right. Next Dan asked, did Demonte do the reading?

994
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 4: I did? You? Did?

995
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 3: You?

996
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 4: Was you want to lead book club? Then? Since I didn't?

997
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 4: You get twenty seven week? Its a Western hemisphere. Gon

998
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 4: Brick makes it seem like the only thing stopping Europeans

999
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 4: from finding the New World was that compasses weren't popularized

1000
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 4: in Europe yet? Didn't people know how to find the

1001
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 4: North Star for centuries? If millenniums, though, I can keep going,

1002
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 4: but I'd rather not. I don't want to take the

1003
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:07,839
Speaker 4: whole shine on the book club. You can do your

1004
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 4: thing next week, so let's go millennia. Millennia. Yeah, not millenniums. Man.

1005
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,479
Speaker 4: Otherwise I kind of solve it. Saw it in the book,

1006
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 4: No problem, all right. Next, Baxton says, I just visited

1007
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 4: New York and State in Harlem. Question is what's your

1008
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 4: favorite restaurant in Harlem? Mine was Sylvia's Soul Food, which

1009
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 4: is great that I just went there two days ago.

1010
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,720
Speaker 4: That place is awesome. Yeah, their mac and cheese is amazing.

1011
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 3: Sylvia's is excellent. So Manza used to work at a

1012
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 3: great spot called Boulevard b stro They're really good. Long

1013
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 3: wait though, because they're so like long on the weekend table. Yeah,

1014
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 3: because they're so popular. Yes, I like Amy Ruth's lot,

1015
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 3: Sylvia is probably actually Sylvia's. And Red Rooster, which is

1016
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 3: right next to Sylvia's, you also used to wear, are

1017
00:56:56,640 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 3: probably my two favorites in Harlem. I'm trying to think, Yeah,

1018
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 3: those are probably my two favorites. Sylvia is unbelievable. Yeah,

1019
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 3: absolutely unbelievable. I just strongly recommend it for anyone that

1020
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 3: comes to visit. I also recommend you stuff by Trinage,
