<v Speaker 2>podcast and the YouTube show. After a marvelous Father's Day,

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.280

<v Speaker 2>got a little Father's Day love. You know, this is

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 2>almost a point of contention in this house. Ye once

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 2>all a time, my wife, your mother was a single mom. Yeah,

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.240

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Father's Day for me and Mother's Day for her. And

0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.240
<v Speaker 2>there was a period of time, not anymore, but where

0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.799
<v Speaker 2>there was almost a little bit of like like, hey,

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.079

<v Speaker 3>Ope you auto wonderful Father's Day.

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I spent mine kicking ass in an international poker tournament.

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 2>We will explain that at the end of the show.

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 2>It is a true story, and to be honest, a

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 2>truly glorious story. But before we get into what we

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 2>are going to talk about on today's show, which is

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 2>some breaking news that happened just about an hour before

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 2>we recorded the podcast, let's start with, as we always do,

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 2>what we're not discussing on today's show. Here's what did

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.800
<v Speaker 2>not make the cut. Matt Fitzpatrick winning the US Open.

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>It was a thrilling finish. I'm sure you were locked

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.639
<v Speaker 2>in for the final, you know, for the final eighteen

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday to Monday. Serena playing Wimbledon. That actually is exciting,

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>and Bart Scott saying Peyton Manning was scarier for defenses

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 2>than Tom Brady. That actually doesn't surprise me at all. However,

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 2>we are still in the afterbirth, if you will, of

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.119
<v Speaker 2>the NBA finals of the NBA season. So we're going

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 2>to start with the NBA, and I think start with

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:15.360
<v Speaker 2>some NBA breaking news. Demonse, Oh, look at you see.

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know if you did this on purpose,

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 2>but today is our first show post NBA, pre NFL.

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 2>We're technically the only major sport going on as baseball,

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 2>and you are wearing a Mets Jersey that I don't

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 2>know where you got or how you have.

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they won last night, just showing support.

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, Oh did they Oh I was unaware.

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 4>No, no, no, I got you just now. I got

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 4>you ways sooner than But they didn't win last night.

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't think they even had a game.

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, my guess is they did have a game, and

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 2>they might have won. They're actually quite good. So let's

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 2>find out if you did back to get me. The

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>thing with baseball is they play almost every day. The

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Mets lost last night, so you did get well played,

0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 2>well played, even though it was a little bit of

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 2>luck involved. You got me way sooner than expected. You

0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 2>got me live on the show. That's no problem. All right,

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 2>what are are we starting with? Let's get to the

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 2>actual show.

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 4>Sham's report. Kyrie and Nets are to impass. Yeah, might

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 4>be a free agent soon and seems like the Lakers, Clippers,

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 4>and Nicks are interested.

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 4>So did like Katie and Kyrie like have a fallout?

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 4>You know what happens here and what happens next.

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, No, I don't think Katie and Kyrie had a fallout.

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I now listen, I'm not reporting anything on this, But

0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.600
<v Speaker 2>from what I deduce, it's not about Katie or Kyrie

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 2>having a fallout. It's about the Nets trying to retake

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:33.039
<v Speaker 2>control of their franchise. The Nets wanted Kevin Durant, he

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:37.039
<v Speaker 2>wanted Kyrie Irving, so they remade the franchise in their image.

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:38.039
<v Speaker 3>It seemed like good idea.

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Then when Katie missed his first year and Kyrie was

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 2>in and out that first year, they made him get

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 2>rid of Kenny Atkinson, which appears to have been a

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 2>huge mistake, at least in my opinion.

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 3>Kenny Atkinson's going to be in the show.

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 2>I think actually the DeAndre Jordan you had to sign

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 2>DeAndre Jordan, you that had to give DeAndre Jordan minutes

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 2>that that was a mistake, And so much of the

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>drama surrounding the Nets over the last couple of years

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.559
<v Speaker 2>is not the fault of Kevin Durant, except the fact

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 2>that he, you know, teamed up.

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 3>With Kyrie Irving.

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Kyrie Irving's one of the least reliable excellent players in

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 2>sports history.

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 3>That's not an overstatement.

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Reliability from a personality standpoint, from a professionalism standpoint, and

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 2>from an injury standpoint. He's about as unreliable as any

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 2>future Hall of Famer in any sport that I can remember.

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 3>And now I think the.

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Nets are in a spot where they're like, we're gonna

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 2>be damned if we're about to watch you opt out

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>of this last year of your contract and then give

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>you a four year max. So I think that it

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.839
<v Speaker 2>would appear soured the relationship. Kyrie is doing what he does,

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 2>going on Twitter and tweeting, you know, indecipherable memes. You

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 2>just tweeted a gif of brother moozone from The Wire,

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 2>which I listen. I am as big of a Wire

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 2>fan as anyone in the world. Once upon a time,

0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I thought I was writing a book on the seventy

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.840
<v Speaker 2>five most who our best characters in the Wire. All

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.359
<v Speaker 2>I know i'd do is lists, so I actually sketched

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.400
<v Speaker 2>that out. But I can't decipher that Kyrie tweet. But

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>here's what I know. The Nets are playing a dangerous

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 2>game because as unreliable as Kyrie may or may not be,

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 2>he is still clearly and unequivocally your second best player,

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 2>and your third best player might be more unreliable in

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:26.719
<v Speaker 2>Ben Simmons, and he could walk for nothing. I know

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 2>everyone is saying, oh, well, the teams with cap space

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 2>like San Antonio or Orlando, He's not going to go there.

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Agreed.

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 2>The Knicks would make the cap space and he could

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 2>still live in New Jersey and he could just sign

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 2>with the Knicks.

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:40.679
<v Speaker 3>Sign with the Knicks outright.

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, the Lakers would do what they could to try

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 2>to sign and trade for Kyrie. We've been talking about

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 2>a three team, Russell Westbrook to somewhere, picks and role

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>players to the Nets, Kyrie Irving to the Lakers.

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 3>We've been talking about the show for six months.

0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that's plaw, if that's realistic, but

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I know Sham's put them on the list, and he

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>put the Clippers on the list.

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:03.359
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead.

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.720
<v Speaker 4>You think Kyrie would rather go to the Knicks than

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 4>the Lakers, No, but it is he could teams pushing

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 4>pushing for him.

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, the Lakers cannot sign him as a free agent

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 2>like Kyrie Irving can opt out of his deal. The

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Knicks can make a few moves which they will be

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 2>able to make, and he could just sign there. The

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Lakers would have to execute a very complicated trade that

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 2>would involve a team having to get Russell Westbrook and

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 2>the Nets would have to cooperate. So it's just a

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.640
<v Speaker 2>lot harder to get to the Lakers or the Clippers.

0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 2>But we have been talking about the honeymoon period with

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.920
<v Speaker 2>the Brooklyn Nets ending for quite some time. Little like

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 2>inside basketball stuff, Joe Side, the owner keeps firing team presidents,

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 2>like they went through another team president this year, a

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>guy I actually knew a bit. He's not happy they

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 2>would appear the.

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 3>New York Daily News report of this.

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 2>I think he's not happy with the revenue compared to

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 2>the money outlaid. Obviously not happy with In the three

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 2>years of kat Kyrie year run, Year one out and

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 2>round one, Katie and Kyrie don't play in the playoffs.

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Year two out and round two, Kyrie only plays part

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 2>of the second round.

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Year three, the.

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Only team in the league swept in Round one. But

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 2>I understand why they don't want to give Kyrie the

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 2>full max. I wouldn't want to give Kyrie the full max.

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 2>But you're running the risk of what are you going

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 2>to do? Try to reset the thing during another year

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 2>of Kevin Durant the tail end of his prime. It's dangerous,

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 2>but this is the you know, this is the cost

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 2>of your own decisions, which is empowering Durant, which meant

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 2>empowering Kyrie to a position that he had that Kyrie

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.839
<v Speaker 2>Flatley had not earned and had not shown the responsibility

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.200
<v Speaker 2>to be able to deserve, if you will. And after

0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 2>the year he was promoting himself to assistant GM, which

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 2>is I'm sure these shocked negotiations aren't going well. It's

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 2>like I was gonna be negotiating with myself, fellas. All right,

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 2>what's next?

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:10.560
<v Speaker 4>Golden State Warriors keeping Kenny Atkinson's but Kenny Atkinson Sorry, yep,

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 4>but there's still change to come. Wiggins is in his

0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 4>last year of his deal, Looney's about to be a

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 4>free agent, and pools up for any sension. Yeah, Steph

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.320
<v Speaker 4>thinks that Kamingo, Wiseman and Pool were the next big three.

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.719
<v Speaker 4>The Warriors seem to be building for the future, but

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 4>still are also chasing a title next yep? Is that possible?

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 4>Can you do that?

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Well? I think they showed you could do it this year.

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 2>They didn't trade They had two lottery picks. They not

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.560
<v Speaker 2>only did they not trade them, they drafted two of

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 2>the youngest players in the draft in Kaminga and Moody.

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Two guys who didn't see the court at all in

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:48.719
<v Speaker 2>the finals. Right. They drafted Wiseman a couple of years ago,

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 2>the year they had the was the number two pick,

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 2>and he never played the flat just never played. And

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 2>now he's been hurt. So that's not because they didn't

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 2>want him to play. So they kept all those assets.

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 3>And just won the title.

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Now, right now, they're the favorites in Vegas to win

0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.959
<v Speaker 2>next year. I do not buy that, and I understand

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:14.559
<v Speaker 2>that I am setting myself up.

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 3>Did you know D. L. Hugly? You know? D. L.

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Hugly is obviously you don't know, you absolutely know.

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, if I if I seen him that hugely

0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 4>sounds familiar, he had a.

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.200
<v Speaker 2>TV show, you would absolutely recognize him. I'm gonna show

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.319
<v Speaker 2>you his face real quick. The reason I'm bringing up

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 2>is this guy is putting me on his TikTok page.

0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 2>My old Andrew Wiggins take. That Andrew Wiggins take is

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:37.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna outlive me.

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 3>So hold on, that's D. L.

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 4>Huger.

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, and so of course, so all these folks

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.960
<v Speaker 2>roasting me for the Wiggans teake, Well, eventually that's kinda

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:47.520
<v Speaker 2>have a show play.

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 3>So let me give you guys.

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Another one, man, I don't think the Warriors win another

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 2>title anytime soon. I just don't you. I'm gonna say

0:10:55.840 --> 0:11:01.720
<v Speaker 2>something else. I you went title at last forever, it

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 2>always counts. There is no asterisk, none of that. I

0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 2>didn't think that team was this great. They just won

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 2>the title and never faced elimination. I didn't think they

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 2>were that great. So who should be the favorites? The

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 2>damn Milwaukee Bucks obviously should be the favorites. Okay, And

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 2>in the West, I the Clippers are gonna be demonstrably better,

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 2>The Nuggets should be better. The Lakers can't be worse.

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:28.560
<v Speaker 2>The Hornets and Grizzlies are on the uptick. The Hornets, sorry,

0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 2>the Pelicans and Grizzlies are on the uptick. Minnesota is

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 2>not a contender, but they're on the uptick.

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 4>Like.

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 2>The only team in the West who you expect to

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 2>be worse definitely is Utah and maybe Phoenix, and so

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 2>I under the Warriors get massive credit for holding onto

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 2>these young guys and still winning the title. But no,

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that the favorites, and I don't think

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 2>that I think their chances of repeating are slim to none.

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:52.559
<v Speaker 3>All Right, next.

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.719
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so bigger loser in the finals than the Celtics

0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 4>Kevin Durant. Okay, Steph pasted on probably just about everybody's

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 4>top ten lists, including yours. And that thing that you

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.320
<v Speaker 4>said about this isn't a part of the question, but

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 4>the worst possible outcome that could have happened to Kevin Durant,

0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 4>it happened to him.

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, well, and let's stay there just for a

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.439
<v Speaker 2>second before we get to the question, because I do

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 2>try to be fair and consistent with this. Thirteen months ago,

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 2>I was on television the day after we went to

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:29.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you were in New York yet, So

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 2>I went with your mom and your sisters to Game five,

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Round two nets Bucks and Barclays. The best game of

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Durant's life. He had doing this from memory, but

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:43.199
<v Speaker 2>I think it was forty eight points, either seventeen.

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 4>Or nineteen res every minute of the game.

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Can assists played every minute, no Kyrie essentially, no Hardens

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 2>on one hamstring beats Giannis. Looks like they're going to

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 2>win the title. Yeah, Steph had missed the playoffs.

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:57.680
<v Speaker 3>In back to back years.

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:03.560
<v Speaker 2>In that moment, the post KD Steph breakup, if you will,

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 2>could not have been going better for Durant.

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.439
<v Speaker 3>He missed one year with injury, but we knew that

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 3>was happening.

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 2>The two years without him, Steph hadn't played in a

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.840
<v Speaker 2>single playoff game, and Durant looked like the best player

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:19.320
<v Speaker 2>in the world. Since then, it ain't been like that.

0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:21.559
<v Speaker 2>And so, just like there was a point in time

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 2>where last year's playoffs looked like the best case scenario

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 2>for the Durant versus Steph discussion, this year's playoffs where

0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.360
<v Speaker 2>he gets swept, he doesn't play well, the team that

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 2>sweeps him loses Steph, and Steph wins the title and

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 2>plays great.

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.079
<v Speaker 3>That is the worst case scenario. That's not it. Neither

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.079
<v Speaker 3>one of those is hyperbolic. But what's the question?

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 4>Uh so Katie and Draymond coming at him, and I

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 4>mean not Katy and Draymond, Draymond and fans coming at

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.319
<v Speaker 4>him on social media and Charles Barkley said that Katie

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 4>has to win the title while in the driver's seat. Yes,

0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.000
<v Speaker 4>so your Twitter pin pals or mates with Kevin Durant. Yeah,

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 4>get Kevin.

0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Duran and I are are were I don't know if

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 2>for friendly, but I think I think the relationship is

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.760
<v Speaker 2>in a better spot than it once was, So go ahead,

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 2>So are you going to defend him? Here's what I

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.959
<v Speaker 2>will defend Kevin Durant on. You can't defend the playoff series.

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 2>What I will defend him on is this, And Berkley's right.

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 2>The thing, just like Step need to check off a

0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 2>great start to finish finals.

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 3>Finals, MVP on his resume.

0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Katie needs to check off win a title outside of

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 2>the incubator of Golden State on the resume.

0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 3>He needs to check that out.

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, However, where I will defend Kevin duran is this,

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.000
<v Speaker 2>because what is happening right now is people are like,

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.840
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, he made such a mistake. Why would

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 2>he leave Golden State because we've told him to the

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:48.680
<v Speaker 2>whole media said, your legacy will be trash forever unless

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 2>you leave, unless you go win somewhere else.

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.480
<v Speaker 3>And then the whole media is like, oh.

0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:56.040
<v Speaker 2>My god, you could have won seven titles with.

0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 4>The Step and he should have went and won the

0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 4>seven titles.

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Well maybe, but he would have gotten me. So if

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm Durant, I am a little frustrated. I'm like, you

0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 2>gotta be kidding me. You've got to be you guys

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 2>all said I.

0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Had to leave.

0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 2>I left, and now you're like, you're such an idiot

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 2>for leaving. Like that's a if your parent has a

0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:24.880
<v Speaker 2>owns a car dealership and you're like, and you're like,

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 2>your first job out of college, go work for the

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 2>car dealership, and then you become an executive vice president

0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:31.840
<v Speaker 2>of the car dealership, still got your dad's.

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 3>Name on it.

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 2>You're making money and you're doing good, and everyone around

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you it's like.

0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 3>You need to go prove it on your own. You

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 3>need to go go.

0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.240
<v Speaker 2>You can't just following you. You can't just take over

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.000
<v Speaker 2>your dad's business. And then you go and a year

0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 2>laterone's like, man, what happened all that money you were making?

0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 2>What a terrible decision? So stupid you had it made

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 2>you'd be like, dude, you told me I had to leave.

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:59.120
<v Speaker 2>And so in that regard, I totally defend Durant. And

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 2>here's the other thing I will do fin Duranton. And

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 2>this is where sports are not really fair.

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 2>There were two guys who were and I apologize, we

0:16:10.920 --> 0:16:14.040
<v Speaker 2>once again have failed the clock. There were two guys

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 2>who were starting players on championship level. Teams that were

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 2>playing in cities with vaccine mandates that weren't vaccinated. One

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:28.600
<v Speaker 2>was Kyrie Irving, one was Andrew Wiggins. Andrew Wiggins got vaxed,

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Kyrie Irving didn't get backed. Kevin Durant has no control

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.360
<v Speaker 2>over that. Does anybody think the next season goes as

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.800
<v Speaker 2>disastrously if Kyrie makes the decision Wiggins did? And does

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 2>anybody think the Warriors season goes as well if Wiggins

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 2>makes decision Kyrie did so. Duran Durant's got no impact

0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 2>on that. Steph benefits, Durant gets dinged for it. Let's

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:53.120
<v Speaker 2>go another level. Both of these teams had a third

0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 2>level player. One in James Harden, goes totally a wall Haywire, quits.

0:16:59.040 --> 0:16:59.920
<v Speaker 3>On the team and leaves.

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:00.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:04.919
<v Speaker 2>The other, Jordan Poole, goes from g leaguer to briefly like,

0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, is he a twenty point per game guy?

0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:08.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:09.800
<v Speaker 3>Duran has no impact on that either.

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.920
<v Speaker 2>So that's where I think he understandably gets a little

0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 2>frustrated with some of the media narrative stuff. So I

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:18.040
<v Speaker 2>get that. With all that said, he's got to do better.

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:19.480
<v Speaker 3>He's got it. You can't get swept in round one

0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.439
<v Speaker 3>and shot thirty eight percent. That's not good. All right,

0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 3>last thing quickly Philly.

0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 4>Hard and likely to sign a short term deal in Philly. Yeah,

0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 4>report there's reported a three year dealers in the I'm

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.040
<v Speaker 4>sorry is likely the outcome. Yeah, you and Daryl Mory

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.840
<v Speaker 4>are really good friends. Yeah, but this call, could you know,

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:37.160
<v Speaker 4>really screw him in the long run.

0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So listen, here's the deal.

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.919
<v Speaker 2>I would be screamings throughout giving James Harden any money

0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.280
<v Speaker 2>the way he looked and the way he's quit on

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:49.400
<v Speaker 2>a couple of teams. But Darryl held on to Ben

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Simmons longer than anyone said he should, trying to get

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.159
<v Speaker 2>a star. He got the star that he's always wanted.

0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 2>That he did great within Harden, and I think I

0:17:57.760 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 2>even't talked to Darryl about this.

0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:00.080
<v Speaker 3>I think they will.

0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.359
<v Speaker 2>That that that hamstring.

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 3>Was a huge part of his issues. I know that sounds.

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Ridiculous because it's like he's at the world's worst hamstring injury.

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.480
<v Speaker 2>But what I've been told about Harden is this one

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.880
<v Speaker 2>of the things that made him the greatest euro stepper

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.200
<v Speaker 2>ever was he is a guy who can jump off

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:25.680
<v Speaker 2>either leg equally right, and so the lack of explosiveness

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 2>and strength in that one hand, it does make sense

0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 2>now to me, it doesn't explain the general lethargy, the

0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:37.479
<v Speaker 2>fact that his playmaking. I mean, he was really just

0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 2>a shell of himself down the stretch. But they've got

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.200
<v Speaker 2>no other path, and so you've got to just hope

0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:45.639
<v Speaker 2>that Harden can get back to seventy percent of what

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.200
<v Speaker 2>he once was, because that's the thing. And now we're

0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.320
<v Speaker 2>going along. I said, I wasn't we have to, you

0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:51.800
<v Speaker 2>know what, we need to have a show meeting about

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 2>this clock because I'm terrible at it. But I want

0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 2>to just remind people of what James Harden did forget

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:02.000
<v Speaker 2>last year's regular season when people were last year in

0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:06.600
<v Speaker 2>the regular season, people were arguing, can he win MVP

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.720
<v Speaker 2>of the league even though he quit on a team

0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:13.920
<v Speaker 2>that happened in the regular season last year. In the postseason,

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:19.720
<v Speaker 2>before he got hurt in Round one against Boston, James

0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Harden this is post the hamstring injury, initially averaged twenty eight,

0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:29.200
<v Speaker 2>seven and eleven, including a forty one, seven and ten

0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:31.720
<v Speaker 2>and to close him out a thirty four to ten

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:34.760
<v Speaker 2>and ten. That was the thirty four to ten and

0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:40.119
<v Speaker 2>ten was June first. It was what ten or twelve

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:44.800
<v Speaker 2>and a half months ago. So I understand betting on

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Harden because you don't have any other choice, but yet

0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:48.640
<v Speaker 2>it absolutely could screw them. But you have Joel Embi,

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 2>who's one of the very best players in the league.

0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:52.200
<v Speaker 2>You've got to try to win right now. I've got

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.280
<v Speaker 2>to try to learn how to make twelve minutes not

0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:55.119
<v Speaker 2>eighteen minutes.

0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:56.160

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, welcome back in What's Right with Nick Right

0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 2>by the way, we just came out with the latest

0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:40.159
<v Speaker 2>edition of our fifty Guards players. In the last fifty years,

0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and that edition was being changed and edited up until

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:50.680
<v Speaker 2>the very last moment six weeks ago. It was Steph twelve,

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Moses eleven, Doctor J ten. Then when it looked like

0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Steph was making the finals, I said, all right, we

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:01.400
<v Speaker 2>gotta have this on the fly out of Moses. Then

0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:05.200
<v Speaker 2>when he won the championship and got that elusive finals MVP,

0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:07.639
<v Speaker 2>I said, gotta be fair. He's a had of Doctor J.

0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:11.800
<v Speaker 2>So it's now Doctor J twelve. I'm sorry, Moses twelve,

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Doctor J eleven, Step ten. It is amazing, by the way,

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:18.920
<v Speaker 2>how many people and this is what the Internet's done

0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 2>to our attention spans The graphic says Nick writes fifty

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:26.280
<v Speaker 2>greatest players of last fifty years, says of last fifty years.

0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:28.240
<v Speaker 3>Also missing from.

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 2>It is Jerry West, Oscar Robertson, Elgin Baylor, Bob Pettittt,

0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:36.479
<v Speaker 2>George mikeen let Alone, Wilt Chamberlain, and Bill Russell, who

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:38.960
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be revealed anyway, because we're not into the We

0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 2>haven't revealed the top nine. However, the number of people

0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 2>who have tweeted to me, oh, Nick, where's the consistency?

0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 3>You said all week? STEP's not top ten all time,

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:49.880
<v Speaker 3>and now you have a number ten. It's like you idiots.

0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:53.280
<v Speaker 2>I also did a contest for that contest is now closed.

0:21:53.280 --> 0:21:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if anyone won it because there were

0:21:55.600 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 2>too many submissions where I said, if you guess one

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:02.200
<v Speaker 2>through twelve perfectly, you're going to I'll pay five hundred

0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:06.520
<v Speaker 2>bucks your favorite charity and five hundred bucks to you cash, cash, app.

0:22:06.400 --> 0:22:07.119
<v Speaker 3>Binmo whatever.

0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:13.200
<v Speaker 2>There were multiple people who might have gotten it exactly right,

0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:17.480
<v Speaker 2>except they included Wilton Russell on the list, like they

0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:20.399
<v Speaker 2>didn't obey the rules of the Top twelve.

0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:22.440
<v Speaker 3>It's of the last fifty years, but it should have been.

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Those people should have realized, wait, I'm including Wilton Russell,

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.760
<v Speaker 2>which means this list all of a sudden doesn't have

0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Larry Bird or Chema lajoh On or whoever they left

0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:35.680
<v Speaker 2>out that's either here or there. So nine and eight

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:39.919
<v Speaker 2>are coming out this coming Sunday, and I think the

0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 2>numbers for both of these guys. Everyone knows how great

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:45.919
<v Speaker 2>these players are, or they think they do, but I

0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:48.640
<v Speaker 2>think the numbers they were jaw dropping for you, de Monsey.

0:22:48.800 --> 0:22:50.560
<v Speaker 3>I think we'll be jaw dropping for the audience.

0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Also into today's show, in just a few minutes, we're

0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:57.800
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about one of my highlights.

0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Of twenty twenty two.

0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:00.640
<v Speaker 2>But first let's get to the rest of the show.

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:01.840
<v Speaker 3>Demons go right ahead.

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.360
<v Speaker 4>Four days ago, Tyreek Hill said that Tula was more accurate,

0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 4>a more accurate pass than Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is surprised

0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.920
<v Speaker 4>by these comments. Yeah, he said, offense is about more

0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:15.119
<v Speaker 4>than one player. Steven Hill was very eager to take

0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 4>a shot or throw Pat Mahomes under the bush. Yeah.

0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:22.159
<v Speaker 4>So you think Tyreek Hill will be a head case

0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 4>because of his botch decision.

0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, listen, you can't get everything life.

0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:34.359
<v Speaker 2>Tyreek took the money, Yeah, took the weather, took the security,

0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 2>and the trade off is you go from arguably the

0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:44.960
<v Speaker 2>most talented quarterback to ever play to arguably not one

0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 2>of the twenty five best current starting quarterbacks.

0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Tyreek knows that.

0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:51.520
<v Speaker 2>I wish you know.

0:23:51.680 --> 0:23:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Eric Mangini says a lot.

0:23:53.359 --> 0:23:55.560
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to blow out somebody else's candle to

0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:56.440
<v Speaker 2>make yours brighter.

0:23:56.840 --> 0:23:58.040
<v Speaker 3>I wish he could try to.

0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Build up to a without taking little shots at Mahomes.

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 4>Because then it puts two in a weird position.

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:06.440
<v Speaker 2>But it also becomes less believable.

0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, if he was.

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:12.239
<v Speaker 2>If he When he said the quote that Tyreek said that,

0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I think people were like, oh, okay, Tyreek said something

0:24:14.600 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 2>along the lines of, hey, I went nine catches for

0:24:17.520 --> 0:24:19.800
<v Speaker 2>buck fifty four with Matt Moore as the quarterback.

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Once two is ten Matt moorees.

0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:24.679
<v Speaker 2>I think people were like, okay, maybe, but when you

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:27.119
<v Speaker 2>start trying to compare two with to Patrick Mahomes, no

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:30.199
<v Speaker 2>one believes you, and it feels like you're overcompensating. Do

0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:35.120
<v Speaker 2>I think Tyreek, if things aren't going well, could become

0:24:35.119 --> 0:24:35.720
<v Speaker 2>a handful?

0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:36.040
<v Speaker 3>I do.

0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Listen, Tyreek was one half of the most important play

0:24:40.040 --> 0:24:44.160
<v Speaker 2>in Chief's history, wasp to pull that Super Bowl out

0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:46.920
<v Speaker 2>of the fire. He is a future Hall of Famers,

0:24:46.920 --> 0:24:50.320
<v Speaker 2>one of the greatest receivers of his era. I also

0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:52.879
<v Speaker 2>think that, let me put it like this, if he

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:56.800
<v Speaker 2>puts up monster numbers anywhere close to what he put

0:24:56.840 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 2>up with the Chiefs, then I think he was He's

0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:03.200
<v Speaker 2>a future, and I think he's underrated. I don't think

0:25:03.280 --> 0:25:07.120
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna happen, however, and I do think that this

0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 2>could be not great for Miami. I also think Miami

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 2>was hoping they were gonna have Tom Brady. I think

0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:15.640
<v Speaker 2>there was a lot. Yeah, there's a lot there all right.

0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:19.840
<v Speaker 4>Next NFL reportly wants to significantly or maybe even give

0:25:19.960 --> 0:25:22.199
<v Speaker 4>Deshaun Watson a full suspension.

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 3>Full year suspension.

0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:25.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. One might think that means that the Browns want

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:28.399
<v Speaker 4>to keep Baker around. Yep, brown so, But the Browns

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:29.879
<v Speaker 4>are so eager to get rid of Baker they were

0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:32.000
<v Speaker 4>willing to pay the Panthers half of his salary.

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:34.640
<v Speaker 4>Is it too early to call Deshaun Watsons trade? It's

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:35.520
<v Speaker 4>just total disaster.

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think it's too early. I don't think

0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:42.160
<v Speaker 2>it's too early at all. And I think that there

0:25:42.240 --> 0:25:45.479
<v Speaker 2>is a chance this goes down as one of the

0:25:45.520 --> 0:25:51.160
<v Speaker 2>biggest errors any team has ever made. The Cleveland Browns

0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 2>won one game in the two years before they drafted

0:25:56.560 --> 0:26:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Baker Mayfield. They were one in fifteen, and then Owen sixteen,

0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:06.440
<v Speaker 2>and then he got for real. Then he got there

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 2>and they won seven games his first year.

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:14.439
<v Speaker 3>His second year was no good, and they.

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Had Freddie Kitchens as their head coach, maybe the worst

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:21.439
<v Speaker 2>coach I've ever seen. His third year, they won a

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 2>playoff game and were in a one score game.

0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:26.119
<v Speaker 3>At Arrowhead against the Chiefs.

0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:30.960
<v Speaker 2>His fourth year, they were three and two and the

0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:33.560
<v Speaker 2>losses were to the Chiefs and I forget the other one.

0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:35.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it was to the Chargers, like forty seven

0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:39.239
<v Speaker 2>forty two, and then Baker got his shoulder ruined and

0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 2>played poorly the rest of the way. They still were

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:46.240
<v Speaker 2>hovering around five hundred, and the Browns decided we're gonna

0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:51.439
<v Speaker 2>torch that relationship entirely to go after someone who as

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:56.240
<v Speaker 2>as horrifying of off field allegations as we've seen for

0:26:56.400 --> 0:27:00.440
<v Speaker 2>any player in the last decade. They made that decision

0:27:00.960 --> 0:27:03.959
<v Speaker 2>just hoping and praying that this was going to go away.

0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:11.800
<v Speaker 2>And listen, I am not in the criminal justice system.

0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:14.720
<v Speaker 2>I am not in the Browns franchise of the NFL

0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:15.399
<v Speaker 2>front office.

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:16.520
<v Speaker 3>But what I.

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:20.359
<v Speaker 2>Would say is this, if you are weighing the pros

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.359
<v Speaker 2>and cons of bringing someone in, and someone in the

0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:27.840
<v Speaker 2>meeting is like, well, what if there are more accusers

0:27:27.840 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 2>someone else in the meeting, and someone's like, well, what

0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:33.080
<v Speaker 2>are the odds of that? I would say pretty damn high.

0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:36.639
<v Speaker 2>When the current accuser number was at twenty two, and

0:27:36.680 --> 0:27:39.840
<v Speaker 2>when it was already at twenty two, the idea that

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:42.440
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't going to maybe tick up to twenty three

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:47.720
<v Speaker 2>or twenty four was foolish of them, and they didn't

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 2>do a good job keeping that. I think there is

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:55.639
<v Speaker 2>a strong argument to be made that no team should

0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:58.119
<v Speaker 2>have traded for Deshaun. But if you want to set

0:27:58.480 --> 0:28:02.080
<v Speaker 2>the horrifying off field out legations aside and talk just

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:06.479
<v Speaker 2>football from a purely football perspective, because you knew a

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:11.200
<v Speaker 2>substantial suspension was likely in the offing, you should only

0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 2>have done it if you had no core, if you

0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:14.680
<v Speaker 2>had no hope.

0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 3>At quarterback whatsoever.

0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:20.240
<v Speaker 2>Right, and so yeah, I think that this is a

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:21.320
<v Speaker 2>potential disaster.

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:22.840
<v Speaker 4>Baker shouldn't even want to play there.

0:28:23.000 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh, he clearly doesn't want to play there.

0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:27.719
<v Speaker 2>But if and that's the other thing the Browns screwed up,

0:28:28.119 --> 0:28:31.159
<v Speaker 2>what they should be doing right now is going to

0:28:31.160 --> 0:28:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Baker Mayfield and saying, listen, it's pretty clear your trade

0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:38.080
<v Speaker 2>value is not where we want it or where you

0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:42.720
<v Speaker 2>would like. The teams you could possibly go to are

0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:44.680
<v Speaker 2>going to be worse teams than us.

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:47.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we've made it clear you're not our quarterback of

0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 3>the future.

0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:53.040
<v Speaker 2>However, let's help each other out here, right, you play

0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:59.920
<v Speaker 2>for us for eight to sixteen games, this season, you

0:29:00.120 --> 0:29:04.320
<v Speaker 2>can rebuild your value. We can contend, and then this

0:29:04.480 --> 0:29:07.000
<v Speaker 2>if it's the whole year, you're a true free agent.

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:09.360
<v Speaker 2>After this year, you can go get paid out. If

0:29:09.360 --> 0:29:13.280
<v Speaker 2>it's midway through the year, you can show the league

0:29:13.560 --> 0:29:17.920
<v Speaker 2>you're still a viable, real starting quarterback. But I don't

0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:21.280
<v Speaker 2>think they've handled this well at all. And I think

0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:24.160
<v Speaker 2>they forgot they're the Browns for a minute, and they're

0:29:24.200 --> 0:29:25.240
<v Speaker 2>like hovering.

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Around five hundred. Isn't good enough?

0:29:26.520 --> 0:29:29.880
<v Speaker 2>You won one game in the two years before Baker

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 2>walked through that door. Now, there's other things that went

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:33.920
<v Speaker 2>along with that, but there are also other things that

0:29:34.000 --> 0:29:36.400
<v Speaker 2>went along with his struggles, not the least of which

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:38.320
<v Speaker 2>were his injuries. In fact, that he had four offensive

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 2>coordinators and four head coaches in four years. Okay, all right,

0:29:41.440 --> 0:29:42.840
<v Speaker 2>let's play a game. Let's try to end on a

0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:45.720
<v Speaker 2>lighter note before we get to my glorious father's.

0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:46.200
<v Speaker 4>Day time for two?

0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 5>Wrong?

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:47.000
<v Speaker 4>Is one? Right?

0:29:47.080 --> 0:29:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Yep?

0:29:47.880 --> 0:29:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Which big name creation.

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:53.000
<v Speaker 4>Is worth going all in for? Okay, Out of DeAndre Ayton,

0:29:53.560 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 4>Bradley Beale, or Zach Levine.

0:29:57.320 --> 0:30:01.760
<v Speaker 2>Levine is probably the safest because he's younger than bal

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 2>he doesn't have the injury issues of bal Ayton is

0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:07.880
<v Speaker 2>a cross off to me. If you want to pay

0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 2>a center max money, I need that center to be

0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Embiid Jokich, Anthony Davis, and Ayton is nowhere close to that. Okay,

0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:21.160
<v Speaker 2>and I think we saw by the way that you

0:30:21.360 --> 0:30:28.120
<v Speaker 2>can there are certain teams that can look Kevon Looney

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:32.960
<v Speaker 2>made the MAVs pay for playing small more than DeAndre

0:30:33.040 --> 0:30:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Ayton made the MAVs pay for playing small. That's a problem, right.

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:41.960
<v Speaker 2>The question with Bial is the injury. If you guaranteed

0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:44.480
<v Speaker 2>me three years of health for any of these guys,

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Beal would be my answer, because of Bill a little

0:30:47.800 --> 0:30:51.400
<v Speaker 2>bit older and the injury. Zach Levine because injury of

0:30:51.400 --> 0:30:53.800
<v Speaker 2>the injury factor, I'd say Levine. But I like Bill

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:56.400
<v Speaker 2>as a player and as kind of a steady hand

0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:59.080
<v Speaker 2>more than I like Uh, more than I like Levine.

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I know that's kind of a copy out, but that's

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:01.560
<v Speaker 2>where I'm at all right, Next.

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:04.400
<v Speaker 4>Okay, uh draft is on Thursday. Yet one of these

0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:07.200
<v Speaker 4>bet on one of these guys to go first? Yeah,

0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:12.600
<v Speaker 4>Jabbari Smith, yep chet Homegum or Paolo Bonchero.

0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 2>So I was very curious if you were gonna nail

0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:21.280
<v Speaker 2>all those pronunciations. I'm gonna give you a nine out

0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:25.440
<v Speaker 2>of ten because you mispronounced Ben Caro's last name. But

0:31:25.520 --> 0:31:27.320
<v Speaker 2>you did it in a way a lot of people do.

0:31:27.680 --> 0:31:29.080
<v Speaker 2>You did the and it's.

0:31:29.000 --> 0:31:30.480
<v Speaker 4>Cut son Caro.

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there you go, you got it there. So I

0:31:32.400 --> 0:31:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm so first of all, good job by you. Uh

0:31:35.960 --> 0:31:39.000
<v Speaker 2>my pick would be if i'm the magic.

0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:39.560
<v Speaker 3>Would be Jabbari.

0:31:40.000 --> 0:31:43.040
<v Speaker 2>I think it's probably gonna be Chet, so I would

0:31:43.040 --> 0:31:45.400
<v Speaker 2>The one that I would be shocked by is bon Carro.

0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Paulo has any real shot of going

0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 2>number one. I would draft Jabbari. I think they're gonna

0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:54.120
<v Speaker 2>draft Chat and now, oh it's one of my favorite words,

0:31:54.240 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Charlatan's Okay, what's last? What are we doing?

0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Kenny Atkinson backed out of the Hornets coaching job.

0:31:59.720 --> 0:32:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah that was crazy.

0:32:00.920 --> 0:32:03.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's pretty wild. Who had the most egregious flip

0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:06.840
<v Speaker 4>flops since our shows started? Oh my, Kitty Atkinson screw

0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:11.040
<v Speaker 4>in the Hornets, Brady's fake retirement, Yeah, or you switching

0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:12.920
<v Speaker 4>off of the team that ended up winning the finals.

0:32:13.000 --> 0:32:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, mine was dumb, but it came from an honest place.

0:32:17.360 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Kenny Atkinson, I think the Words just decided to pay

0:32:20.360 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 2>him a lot of money and they said that's a

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 2>I can get a better head coaching job than Charlotte.

0:32:24.480 --> 0:32:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the answer is Tom Brady.

0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:33.560
<v Speaker 2>As me, Dan Levitard and Ben Valin and Mike Floria

0:32:33.600 --> 0:32:35.680
<v Speaker 2>are the only people that really care about this story.

0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:41.360
<v Speaker 2>But Tom Brady announced his retirement days before the Super Bowl,

0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:44.360
<v Speaker 2>and it didn't last six weeks, and it was all

0:32:44.480 --> 0:32:47.600
<v Speaker 2>a ploy to get to a different team. And now

0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:49.640
<v Speaker 2>we're supposed to believe he's all in on the Bucks.

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:56.520
<v Speaker 2>The answer, unequivocally, unabashedly, unquestionably is Tom Brady. Just as

0:32:56.560 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 2>unquestionable as how awesome my Sunday was. We will explain

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 2>that What's Right?

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:05.800
<v Speaker 4>I think that was like your fourth time teasing it.

0:33:05.840 --> 0:33:06.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh I'm so excited.

0:33:12.840 --> 0:33:14.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, welcome back in last segment What's Right with

0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Nick Right. We appreciate you watching, subscribing, downloading, listening all

0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:21.880
<v Speaker 2>the ways you do it. I think we're right at

0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 2>fifty thousand subscribers on YouTube. I think our podcast numbers

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 2>are doing well. I know the Twitter page for the

0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:31.480
<v Speaker 2>What's Right Show just past ten thousand. We really appreciate it.

0:33:31.600 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 2>We'd really appreciate it. If you tell people about the show.

0:33:34.400 --> 0:33:35.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you have a following and you think

0:33:35.960 --> 0:33:38.800
<v Speaker 2>the show's good, you know, publicize it and I'll pay

0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:42.280
<v Speaker 2>you in gratitude if nothing else. And now I'm going

0:33:42.360 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 2>to tell you a very self congratulatory story, and also

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:50.080
<v Speaker 2>I think an impressive story because I am doing this

0:33:50.200 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 2>show and I did the TV show. The last time

0:33:53.960 --> 0:34:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I slept was eight am Sunday morning, so I have

0:34:00.600 --> 0:34:03.160
<v Speaker 2>not slept in however many hours that is, I can't.

0:34:03.160 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm not doing the math right now because I'm.

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:06.280
<v Speaker 4>Eight am Sunday morning.

0:34:06.360 --> 0:34:08.160
<v Speaker 2>I woke up eight am Sunday morning, and I have

0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:14.759
<v Speaker 2>been ups until right now. So Father's Day rolling around.

0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:19.200
<v Speaker 4>Good math, buddy, I mean, come on, good math Buddy's.

0:34:19.840 --> 0:34:21.720
<v Speaker 3>I said I couldn't do it.

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:21.879
<v Speaker 2>He did it.

0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:24.799
<v Speaker 3>Quickly, Okay. So here's the deal.

0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:31.000
<v Speaker 2>So Father's Day obviously Sunday also Father's Day. I know

0:34:31.880 --> 0:34:35.440
<v Speaker 2>my wife has trintage to run and her best friend

0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:38.920
<v Speaker 2>is in from Memphis and it's Juneteenth, and I know

0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:42.719
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna want to go out and I typically I'm not.

0:34:42.800 --> 0:34:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't really go out and drink on nights for

0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:47.759
<v Speaker 2>the show. So I knew that there might be a

0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 2>window where she wasn't expecting me to be involved. And

0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:53.360
<v Speaker 2>I knew his Father's Day, so I will actual lee. Wait, okay,

0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:57.239
<v Speaker 2>I also knew this. The World Series of Poker is

0:34:57.280 --> 0:34:59.880
<v Speaker 2>going on right now, and the World Series of Poker

0:34:59.920 --> 0:35:03.320
<v Speaker 2>is live in Vegas. But there are a few high

0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:07.360
<v Speaker 2>dollar events that are online events that, because of America's

0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:11.040
<v Speaker 2>bizarre gambling rules, you can only play if you are

0:35:11.400 --> 0:35:13.000
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to be from you have to be

0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:16.360
<v Speaker 2>physically located in Nevada.

0:35:16.480 --> 0:35:17.320
<v Speaker 3>Or New Jersey.

0:35:17.640 --> 0:35:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, So there was one that was starting Sunday

0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:26.720
<v Speaker 2>at six pm. It was a thousand dollars pot limon

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Omaha where it's World Series of Poker Circuit Event Circuit Championship.

0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:36.920
<v Speaker 2>And I said, I want to play in this thing,

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:39.640
<v Speaker 2>and I want to figure out how I can play

0:35:39.680 --> 0:35:42.280
<v Speaker 2>in this thing and still be a great dad. Filled

0:35:42.280 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 2>my father's day, figure out the whole thing. So we

0:35:45.520 --> 0:35:47.920
<v Speaker 2>did the whole Father's Day morning. You guys gave me

<v Speaker 2>this awesome sweatsuit. You guys gave me amazing cards, went

0:35:52.880 --> 0:35:57.520
<v Speaker 2>to a great lunch, and then I went to the

0:35:57.560 --> 0:36:02.040
<v Speaker 2>old price line, found the hotel with a really nice pool,

0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:06.280
<v Speaker 2>right across the old George Washington Bridge, and I said

0:36:06.320 --> 0:36:10.759
<v Speaker 2>to my wonderful children, I'm like, hey, the girls, most

0:36:10.800 --> 0:36:13.280
<v Speaker 2>notably because I knew you this wouldn't be as exciting

0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:15.799
<v Speaker 2>for you. But to your sisters, Hey, you guys want

0:36:15.840 --> 0:36:18.759

<v Speaker 2>so you get go swimming? Said sounds amazing, Like that's

0:36:23.160 --> 0:36:25.799
<v Speaker 2>really how you want to spend Father's Day. Dad like, well,

0:36:31.560 --> 0:36:35.400
<v Speaker 2>up to a you know, hardwired internet connection playing in

0:36:35.440 --> 0:36:39.080
<v Speaker 2>this poker tournament. Now, you don't sign up for a

0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:42.320
<v Speaker 2>poker tournament if you don't have the time to play

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:45.399
<v Speaker 2>the entire thing. You got to say how long how

0:36:45.400 --> 0:36:47.839
<v Speaker 2>long will it take for this thing to be over?

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Because I'm not going to pay a thousand dollars injury

0:36:50.360 --> 0:36:52.799
<v Speaker 2>and be like, oh, I'll go out in seventy eighth

0:36:52.840 --> 0:36:56.080
<v Speaker 2>place right and just blow the money. So I obviously

0:36:56.120 --> 0:36:58.040
<v Speaker 2>have to make sure if I sign up for this tournament,

0:36:58.040 --> 0:36:59.919
<v Speaker 2>there's no chance I'm going to miss the TV show.

0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:02.120
<v Speaker 3>But I'm also doing I want.

0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:05.600
<v Speaker 2>To play in this tournament from New Jersey, so there's

0:37:05.600 --> 0:37:10.640

<v Speaker 2>was gonna skype the TV show if you know, if

0:37:30.440 --> 0:37:32.400
<v Speaker 2>it happened. I was like, I don't think that'll happen,

0:37:32.400 --> 0:37:34.359
<v Speaker 2>but if it does, at least I'll be dressed and

0:37:34.520 --> 0:37:36.480

<v Speaker 2>one literally right there. I think five guys will be

<v Speaker 2>a movie on Netflix. I'm still playing in the tournament.

0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Your older sister wakes up about two in the morning, Padre,

0:38:27.960 --> 0:38:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Are you still playing in this tournament? Oh? I am,

0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:33.600
<v Speaker 2>which means I'm on a deep run. You're up there, yeah,

0:38:33.680 --> 0:38:37.359
<v Speaker 2>three am rolls around. We are approaching what you call

0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:42.120
<v Speaker 2>the money bubble. Top eleven get paid. Eleventh place was

0:38:42.200 --> 0:38:45.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know a couple grand I didn't come to

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:49.480
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey stay up all night to win one thousand dollars.

0:38:49.239 --> 0:38:50.480
<v Speaker 4>Tell you that.

0:38:51.640 --> 0:38:56.160
<v Speaker 2>So playing all of a sudden, I'm I'm at risk

0:38:56.200 --> 0:38:59.799
<v Speaker 2>of being the person that bubbles this tournament. So I

0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:03.399
<v Speaker 2>deep and I say, you know what we're going. We're

0:39:03.400 --> 0:39:06.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna We're not gonna get tilted. We had we had

0:39:06.040 --> 0:39:10.200
<v Speaker 2>a we had with fourteen people left a poker players

0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:10.680
<v Speaker 2>will get this.

0:39:11.880 --> 0:39:12.120
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:39:12.200 --> 0:39:15.120
<v Speaker 2>I have the nut flush on a Queen four seven

0:39:15.360 --> 0:39:21.240
<v Speaker 2>five three Heartburt board. I get. I am the reason

0:39:21.239 --> 0:39:23.399
<v Speaker 2>I was almost on the money bubble. I was third

0:39:23.440 --> 0:39:26.600
<v Speaker 2>in chips. I have the nut flush with one card

0:39:26.640 --> 0:39:29.360
<v Speaker 2>to come. I get the person who's fifteen chips to

0:39:29.400 --> 0:39:33.040
<v Speaker 2>put all his money in. He has queen queen, so

0:39:33.120 --> 0:39:35.200
<v Speaker 2>he needs the board to pair or I am the

0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:36.200
<v Speaker 2>massive chip leader.

0:39:36.880 --> 0:39:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Now there's the board pair. It's a queen. He has quads.

0:39:39.920 --> 0:39:42.080
<v Speaker 2>All of a sudden, I'm low. I fight my way

0:39:42.120 --> 0:39:45.080
<v Speaker 2>back up. Now we're down to nine. Now we're down

0:39:45.120 --> 0:39:48.920
<v Speaker 2>to six. We're at the final table. It's four in

0:39:48.960 --> 0:39:52.560
<v Speaker 2>the morning. Clock's a ticking on the old show. We're

0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:57.919
<v Speaker 2>down to six people, with three people left. I took

0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:02.560
<v Speaker 2>the chip lead. Unfortunately, while this story is a great story,

0:40:02.600 --> 0:40:04.640
<v Speaker 2>it is not a truly one in a you know,

0:40:04.920 --> 0:40:06.920
<v Speaker 2>glorious story of where I tell you I won the

0:40:06.920 --> 0:40:11.480
<v Speaker 2>thirty thousand. I briefly had the chip lead. I think

0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:15.279
<v Speaker 2>I made a really good fold. I'll never know. Two

0:40:15.320 --> 0:40:18.919
<v Speaker 2>hands later, I get it's plo. So you get drawn

0:40:18.960 --> 0:40:22.360
<v Speaker 2>out on I'm in a huge pot. We're all short

0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:24.239
<v Speaker 2>because of the blinds. I end up going out in

0:40:24.320 --> 0:40:31.120
<v Speaker 2>third for a smooth twelve point eight thousand dollars. It

0:40:31.200 --> 0:40:34.560
<v Speaker 2>was then four to forty five am, girls still sleeping,

0:40:35.400 --> 0:40:40.640
<v Speaker 2>drove straight home, left them sleeping. You're seventeen. Totally responsible

0:40:40.760 --> 0:40:43.799
<v Speaker 2>behavior by me. Did the old zoom Golf of the

0:40:43.800 --> 0:40:46.879
<v Speaker 2>TV show? Did the TV show soon as the TV

0:40:46.960 --> 0:40:50.240
<v Speaker 2>show was over, drove back to the hotel, girls eating

0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:53.200
<v Speaker 2>room service, having the time of their life. I'm Dad

0:40:53.280 --> 0:40:56.160
<v Speaker 2>of the Year, twelve grand richer. It's on my hind

0:40:56.239 --> 0:40:59.479
<v Speaker 2>in mob profiles. Shortly, World Series of Poker circuit event

0:40:59.640 --> 0:41:02.720
<v Speaker 2>added pot limit ovahaul to it had only been we'd

0:41:02.719 --> 0:41:04.520
<v Speaker 2>only had hold them on there. Now we have all

0:41:04.560 --> 0:41:08.239
<v Speaker 2>a little plo third place in a circuit event. And

0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:12.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, I might become a Marriott Bond Voyage member

0:41:13.280 --> 0:41:16.320
<v Speaker 2>the little points because that's a short little drive across

0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:19.240
<v Speaker 2>the GW And guess what, they got a lot of tournaments.

0:41:19.320 --> 0:41:20.120
<v Speaker 4>It happens often.

0:41:20.440 --> 0:41:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh, the next few weeks, it does, the next few weeks,

0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:24.440
<v Speaker 2>It sure does.

0:41:24.480 --> 0:41:26.319
<v Speaker 3>During the World Series of Poker, I just got it.

0:41:26.640 --> 0:41:28.919
<v Speaker 2>And if these tournaments are during the day, I could

0:41:28.960 --> 0:41:30.759
<v Speaker 2>just do what you do for your work, just post

0:41:30.880 --> 0:41:33.279
<v Speaker 2>up in a Starbucks hang out. You just have to

0:41:33.280 --> 0:41:35.000
<v Speaker 2>be physically located in Jersey.

0:41:35.280 --> 0:41:38.040
<v Speaker 4>So if if you had, if you had still been

0:41:38.120 --> 0:41:40.239
<v Speaker 4>you know, in the pot once it got to like

0:41:40.280 --> 0:41:42.520
<v Speaker 4>second and first place, would you have played that? Would

0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:45.440
<v Speaker 4>you have played the tournament on the show? Oh?

0:41:45.480 --> 0:41:47.560
<v Speaker 2>If the tournament, if it was down to the final

0:41:47.640 --> 0:41:52.319
<v Speaker 2>three and it was gonna like seven twenty eight.

0:41:55.560 --> 0:41:56.440
<v Speaker 3>I guess we'll never know.

0:41:56.920 --> 0:42:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, uh, you know, I I don't know what they

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:07.040
<v Speaker 2>they pay me. Well, they don't pay me thirty grand

0:42:07.120 --> 0:42:10.840
<v Speaker 2>a show, so like at some point, like it'd be

0:42:10.840 --> 0:42:14.160
<v Speaker 2>an irresponsible decision. I've also never taken a sick day,

0:42:14.360 --> 0:42:17.120
<v Speaker 2>and I would have been sick to have to leave

0:42:17.200 --> 0:42:22.200
<v Speaker 2>that tournament. So I listened hearing R there, nobody's the wiser. I, however,

0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:24.520
<v Speaker 2>have not slept. And what DEMANDE says is over twenty

0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:27.600
<v Speaker 2>seven hours. So I'm going to get a nap and.

0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:31.600
<v Speaker 4>Figure out drinking four red bulls. Say it again, I staid,

0:42:31.600 --> 0:42:33.239
<v Speaker 4>winning twelve grand it is like drinking four.

0:42:33.400 --> 0:42:34.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh it felt great.

0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:36.239
<v Speaker 4>You're awake off that high.

0:42:36.440 --> 0:42:38.719
<v Speaker 3>Chister's both got a one percent free roll on that.

0:42:39.000 --> 0:42:39.480
<v Speaker 4>What do you mean?

0:42:39.960 --> 0:42:41.839
<v Speaker 2>I told him, because they went with me and they

0:42:41.840 --> 0:42:44.880
<v Speaker 2>supported me, they each got one percent. So they just

0:42:44.920 --> 0:42:48.800
<v Speaker 2>got one hundred and twenty bucks. Wait, what's what's.

0:42:48.440 --> 0:42:50.520
<v Speaker 4>Going on here? What's one hundred and twenty bucks?

0:42:50.800 --> 0:42:53.360
<v Speaker 2>It didn't come you were invited, and when we were leaving,

0:42:53.440 --> 0:42:54.440
<v Speaker 2>you were step I.

0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:57.080
<v Speaker 3>So that's where your hundred.

0:42:56.880 --> 0:42:58.920
<v Speaker 4>And twenty bucks is going to do with our one

0:42:58.960 --> 0:42:59.840
<v Speaker 4>hundred and twenty bucks.

0:43:00.360 --> 0:43:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Uh. I have a pretty good idea what she's gonna

0:43:02.640 --> 0:43:05.200
<v Speaker 2>do with all her money. It ends up backing my banking.

0:43:07.320 --> 0:43:08.160
<v Speaker 4>What what she got?

0:43:08.239 --> 0:43:11.839
<v Speaker 2>She what you gonna sell a b bank? It just

0:43:11.880 --> 0:43:13.719
<v Speaker 2>goes in back in my pocket. We'll talk to you

0:43:13.719 --> 0:43:27.600
<v Speaker 2>guys on Thursday.
