0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:08.520
<v Speaker 1>From the King of Sports Books comes the King Sports

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Podcast Unleashed, presented by bet MGM. Here's your host, Janice

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Papas and Olivia Harlan Decker. Welcome to everybody business Unleashed

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>by bet MGM, the King of Sports Books. And Wow,

0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>what a weekend of betting in the NFL. Oh my gosh.

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 1>We had Thursday night, Saturday night, all day, Sunday, Monday night,

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>even Tuesday night football. I mean that was pretty crazy. Honest.

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I think they heard your podcast. Yes, last week, I

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>told you we need to get more football, more Christmas.

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>I love it. Thank you Covid. Yeah, I was gonna say,

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I think you met more Covid outbreaks on all these

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.040
<v Speaker 1>NFL teams. So we got the lays and games. It

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>gave us more days of nfowl. So is that what

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>he planned? That's what I planned. So silver lining. I

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:08.039
<v Speaker 1>can't wait. I can't wait to get some truly's going

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:12.119
<v Speaker 1>to night and watch some more gridiron. Pig skin. Baby,

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you are such a contradiction and kind of a basic bitch.

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Hats off to my Green Bay Packers. I'm becoming the

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>first team to clinch a playoff spot, winning the NFC

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>North I think for the third straight year, Aaron Rodgers

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>promised us a last dance, and so far he has

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 1>not disappointed. Now some people are saying he's back with

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>the Packers. It's all up in the air. No one

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>knows for sure, But I don't know. Your honest wouldn't

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>you stay if things were going this well? Oh? Man,

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anything could stop the Packers right now.

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 1>COVID toes double coverage on Davante. I think the only

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>thing that can stop the Packers is their own special

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:57.559
<v Speaker 1>teams unit. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, that was really atrocious,

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>especially in the Chicago game two weeks ago. They've they've

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>got to get that ready for the playoffs. But one

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>of the highlights for me for the weekend, and I

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>know this sounds crazy as a Packer fan and this

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.639
<v Speaker 1>is in my division, but the Detroit Lions, they got

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>their second win of this season. We were patting him

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>on the back last week knocking off the Arizona Cardinals.

0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Take it away, coach Campbell, welcome to Detroit. I'll tell

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 1>you what we did, everything we said we needed to

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:31.239
<v Speaker 1>do to that team every and I'll tell you what defense.

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.959
<v Speaker 1>You took it personal it's out. Then you guys were

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.839
<v Speaker 1>making them out. But we turn them all over offensively, right,

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and then we defensively a mighty too far. I'll tell

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>you what. Offensively, man, we came out from early. Man,

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.799
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna be We took some shots. I mean, is

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Dan Campbell making a late run at Coach of the

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Year or what? The phrase any given Sunday has never

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>been more true than this season. Apparently we can see

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>any team be any other team. Lions over the Cardinals?

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Are you kidding? I mean picture that an actual animal

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>form though that that matchup would end up the same

0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>way this game did. Yeah, I think they're starting to

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>play like Lions. Look Sometimes some teams don't get it

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>together until this point in the season. It looks like

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 1>the lines are getting it together. It look a little

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>too little, too late. And this is the point where

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>you're going like, hey, do we keep winning or do

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>we get a draft pick? You know what I'm talking about.

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say anyone to lose on purpose,

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>but I'm saying, let's see what that with the second

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.399
<v Speaker 1>and third string looks like Detroit, You're going nowhere. Two

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>victories is enough. It's like, take it easy. Now imagine

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>playing for that team, and you're like, all right, we

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>got Arizona this weekend. Let's go like, I can't imagine

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>getting up for that game when you're really just starting

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.119
<v Speaker 1>to make your vacation plans. Right, you're right, Okay, So

0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Week eighteen, our seventeenth game. Okay, honey, what do you

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.120
<v Speaker 1>think Bora bora Hawaii? What you're thinking? Like, that's what's

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>going through some of their heads, you know it, But no,

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>they're doing it and they want their second game of

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the season. But there's a full slate of NFL this weekend.

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>For Christmas weekend, we're going to talk with bet MGM's

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>betting expert, Peter Andrew. He's our very own elf on

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>a shelf and he's also joining us next week. If

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>you like Peter Andrew, you're going to get a much

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 1>bigger dose of him next week for our year end show.

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.279
<v Speaker 1>That's going to be a lot of fun. So that

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Day double header that's coming up at the end

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>of the show, we're going to talk about it. Speaking

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 1>of guys who had big wins over the weekend, we'll

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>talk to former Brooklyn netstar Darren Williams. He was in

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the news this week for beating former NFL star Frank

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Gore in his boxing debut. It was his first fight.

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.479
<v Speaker 1>I don't know will he fight again? He made that

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 1>one look so beautiful. He was pretty winded and beat

0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 1>up after the fight, and he immediately in his post

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>match interview, I don't know what do you call that?

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>He said, no way, I'm done. I'm done. But we

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>gotta ask ourselves, right Annie. Yeah, I mean there's a

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>couple of perspective opponents out there, Jack Ball, Logan, Paul.

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:04.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's a lot of former athletes and other

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>sports who he could fight now now that boxing has

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>opened itself up to all athletes, all celebrities. I really

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>can't wait to see, like two politicians fight basketball versus

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 1>a football. Let's do a little hockey. Take the gloves

0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 1>off me and you, let's go at it. Let's fight

0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.159
<v Speaker 1>another podcast two on two. I mean, boxing is really

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the place now anyone can just go and get their

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.520
<v Speaker 1>aggression out and get a paycheck. I love it. Would

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:34.840
<v Speaker 1>you swing at a pregnant woman? Never? Never? Would I

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.359
<v Speaker 1>swing at a pregnant woman? No, no, but I would

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>get myself another pregnant woman to fight you. I'd find

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.280
<v Speaker 1>one and then me and Sam would go at it.

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 1>And I already told you what happens to Sam. It's

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.280
<v Speaker 1>biting on the genitalia. Yes he did tell me. I'm

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.039
<v Speaker 1>sure there's a weird fetish out there for two pregnant

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>women boxing. But enough of that, Hi, Mrs Harlan, Hi,

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 1>that's what I'm a decker. That's that's a Mrs Harlan

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>listening your daughter. That was not me who said that.

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 1>You really are someone who tripped up even worse than

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I just did and regretting their decisions as much as

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I am right now. Is our man, manny. He's our winner,

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of a loser for bad beat of

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the week of the week. Let's take a look at

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 1>what he did. It was a monster one game parlay

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:39.479
<v Speaker 1>for Chiefs at Chargers. Everything hit Kelsey, anytime touchdown, chief score,

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>the first points, first quarter, under, etcetera. All these miniscule

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>things in the game hit except one. And the only

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.240
<v Speaker 1>thing that prevented that big payout was the Chiefs to

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.360
<v Speaker 1>have a halftime lead, which seems like an easy thing

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to ask for, but it didn't happen. So sorry, my man, Manny,

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>but bet MGM is blessing with one dollar site credit,

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>so you can try your luck again. I'm telling you guys,

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>that's how you win big money. Put together these big

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 1>balls parlay and you can just see put five dollars

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>in and you win big. So yeah, the next time

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.120
<v Speaker 1>we go to Vegas, that's what you and I are doing.

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 1>We're just building these bizarre parleys. Let's do it. Let's

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.840
<v Speaker 1>do it. We'll do it together. Now, this part of

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the show we usually unleash, right, but it's Christmas, you know,

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>we've got to change things up in the spirit of Christmas.

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna do a little naughty and nice list

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>from the world of sports. So we need some jingle bells, Alex,

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>if you can bring in some Christmas noise right here,

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>something that gets this very festive. Um. I would like

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 1>to start first on the naughty list, because naught he's

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>a little more fun than nice, right absolutely, And uh,

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I have a feeling I know who you're gonna bring

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>up first. He's been a naughty naughty boy, Yes he has.

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he's been the naughtiest boy of all. It's

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Urban Meyer if he if he's the top of the

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>naughty list. I think he'd be proud of that. He

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>was expecting roughly fifty million dollars over five years, but

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>now it looks like the only thing he might be

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 1>getting his big old bag of coal. Just think about this.

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.559
<v Speaker 1>He had more embarrassing incidents than wins in his first

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 1>season and probably his last season as a head coach

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL, including not flying back with his team

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>after a loss, getting caught on video doing a little

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>button grind with a woman who was not his wife

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>or anywhere near his age, calling out his coaches, and

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.600
<v Speaker 1>even kicking his kicker. You know, I'm just good he

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.199
<v Speaker 1>didn't punt his punter or nose tackle his nose tackle.

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>You get where I'm going with this. Honest, he really

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.319
<v Speaker 1>made a poor decision, and I think he's out of

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the NFL for good. He's a good looking man, and

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.320
<v Speaker 1>he was doing well at the TV gig on Fox.

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>He should just go back to that. What was he

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>doing messing around with the NFL. I mean that he

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 1>kicked his kicker. I may look, I have a lot

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:01.199
<v Speaker 1>of animosity towards kickers, but you shouldn't kick him. You

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't kick him. The only people who should be kicking

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.839
<v Speaker 1>is the kickers kicking. Football's coaches should not be trying

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>to put the actual kicker through the uprights. So kid's

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>been a little naughty and he's definitely not getting any

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 1>presents from Santa. Yeah, definitely not. Okay, here you got

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 1>naughty list. Okay, let's keep going with our naughty list.

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I love this. Santa must love when he gets this

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 1>list and he gets to decide who gets their new PS.

0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Five's let's go with Antonio Brown. Okay, no straight naughty,

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 1>no stranger to controversy. I mean, where do we start with?

0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Goodall A B his ex chef said he didn't pay

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 1>a debt, which seems to be a pattern with Antonio

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.640
<v Speaker 1>Brown not paying people. But then the chef went public

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and outed A B for having a fake VAX card

0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.960
<v Speaker 1>whoa which turned out to be true. It actually turned

0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:58.679
<v Speaker 1>out to be true. He was walking around with like

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>think I think he's walking around with this eyes receipt

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:05.320
<v Speaker 1>claiming that it was facts card. So the NFL suspended

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 1>for three games. That hurts the team, obviously, I mean,

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 1>a fake vax card. Come on, a B, what are

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 1>you the mcglovin of the NFL. You're on our naughty List. Buddy,

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:19.199
<v Speaker 1>you're a naughty naughty boy. And isn't it a felony?

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Isn't he facing like more serious charges? I think that

0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 1>depends on the state. I think in Florida you actually

0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 1>get like a tax break if you have a fake

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 1>vax card. Okay, Florida. In Texas they kind of just

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>promote you. But everywhere else could be great in your name,

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 1>great in your name. Whatever. You go to Aaron Rodgers house,

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:41.319
<v Speaker 1>you get a free dinner. Okay. I've got a good

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.680
<v Speaker 1>one here that I think is gonna jog people's memory

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>because I kind of dug for this one. It's Bob Baffort.

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember the story from back over the Summer.

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 1>He was the legendary horse trainer and he was suspended

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 1>two years by Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby winner

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 1>me Dina Spirits positive drug test, who actually died a

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks ago. It's actually very sad, but we've

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>got enough to worry about what people taking horse d warmers.

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.720
<v Speaker 1>We don't need horses taking steroids. There's enough of that

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.199
<v Speaker 1>in sports that involved actual humans. Bob Baffer, you are

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 1>on the naughty list, sir, you bad boy. Let me

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 1>bring up another obvious bad boy this year. He's been

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:28.559
<v Speaker 1>real naughty, real real naughty. Okay, my buddy, John Gruden,

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:34.959
<v Speaker 1>you've been a bad boy, Johnny. Okay. The NFL reviewed

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>six hundred fifty thousand emails as part of their investigation

0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>into misconduct by the Washington football team, and Johnny Gruden

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 1>used a kind of language that I would say, get

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you on the naughty list. Okay, it also gets your

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:52.600
<v Speaker 1>mouth washed out with soap if you grew up my household.

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 1>So uh, you're fired. Not to not to borrow a

0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:01.079
<v Speaker 1>line from our old commander in chief, but your fire.

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>The only thing more offensive than the Raiders offense this

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 1>season turned out to be their former coaches email. So

0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.880
<v Speaker 1>there you go, Santa. You're not You're not making a

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>stop at the Gruden household. Just absolutely brutal. I mean

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>that sums up our naughty list pretty good. Are you

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.960
<v Speaker 1>ready for the nice list? I'm ready for the nice list.

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm sick of talking about these bad boys. Yeah, maybe

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 1>that's our new segment going into the new year. We

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 1>have our naughty boys segment like that. Okay, here's a

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.839
<v Speaker 1>nice boy, J. J. Watt. He's Walter Payton Man of

0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:35.600
<v Speaker 1>the Year winner. He continues to do right in the community.

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 1>He did with Hurricane Harvey. Remember back in Houston or

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.560
<v Speaker 1>anything back home in Wisconsin. This year, he paid for

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the funeral services of those lost in that Christmas parade

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 1>and Walkershaw, Wisconsin, that horrific run over by a car.

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 1>It was horrible grandmothers and children, I mean horrible thing

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>that happened in and J. J. Watt did right by

0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:00.599
<v Speaker 1>that community. He is on the Nice List. He aid

0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.079
<v Speaker 1>for all of the funeral services for that, so I

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:04.719
<v Speaker 1>I had to put J. J. Watt top of the

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Nice List. He continues to do the right thing year

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>after year, year after year. J. J. Watt is one

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:16.959
<v Speaker 1>of Santa's favorite and so is Janice Combo. He is

0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.720
<v Speaker 1>on one of the most epic journeys we've seen in

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>NBA history. He's uh NBA Project to NBA Champion. I

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>remember when he came in as a scrawny, you know,

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:30.679
<v Speaker 1>nineteen year old, eighteen nineteen year old coming to the

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.959
<v Speaker 1>Bucks organization. Then he sprouted up, he grew, he worked

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 1>on his game, He's got the competitiveness, and he finally

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:42.160
<v Speaker 1>brought something good to Milwaukee. A title. Those people need it,

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 1>they deserve it, and let's be honest, he became the

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 1>second most famous Greek next to me. So congratulations for

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 1>putting another Yannis on the map, because I've already put

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 1>our name sake on the map. And let's just remember

0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 1>the Suns were up to oh in the NBA Finals.

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.040
<v Speaker 1>It looks like the box were done. Same old story

0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:05.320
<v Speaker 1>for Milwaukee. But the Greek freak he would not be

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.320
<v Speaker 1>denied and he ended up I think it was a

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.160
<v Speaker 1>forty point game fifty. I'm sorry, got a fifty piece.

0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:12.320
<v Speaker 1>He went to Chick fil A and he got a

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 1>fifty piece the chicken. It was amazing. And he also

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 1>went like sixteen for eighteen from the line, which for

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 1>him was completely out of character. He just played like

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 1>a superhero. He truly was a Greek god. And so

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 1>he's a nice boy. He's getting a lot of nice presents.

0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 1>He's a nice boy. Okay, I've got another one. Do

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.960
<v Speaker 1>you remember back Fox Sports and the MLB, they are

0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:42.200
<v Speaker 1>on the nice list for the amazing field of Dreams.

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Game broadcast, White Sox Verse Yankees Kevin Costner thrown out

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the first pitch that gorgeous sunset over the corn fields

0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 1>in Iowa. It was right by the original movie set

0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 1>it was postponed in so he finally got it lived

0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 1>up to the billing. I just was thinking, that was

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 1>one of the best moments in sports this year, and

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I think they have to make the Nice List absolutely.

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that was really a combination of movie magic

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 1>and baseball. Really made everyone feel nostalgic. We all got

0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.400
<v Speaker 1>a nice little look at Kevin Costner again. I mean,

0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 1>he's on a new show and everything, but he looks great.

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think he said he does look great.

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I guess he's had plenty of time to relax in

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 1>between very few movie roles. So the guy got a

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of sun and he's been really relaxing. So that

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 1>was a beautiful moment. And the Yankees lost that game,

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't they though, Yeah, but it was close. Do you

0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 1>remember it was like a really good game too. Yeah,

0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:42.040
<v Speaker 1>it was a really good game. I mean, maybe that's

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 1>what they should do, is just play all the games

0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 1>and cornfields because it gave it a nice feel, you know,

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 1>so that it really did give it a nice feel.

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 1>That was beautiful. You know who else is on the

0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Nice list? The Son's in four guy. Remember this guy?

0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Give it up to this guy. Yeah. Sure, they didn't

0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.120
<v Speaker 1>win the NBA Finals. Okay, they came close, they didn't win,

0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think anybody had a bigger moment than

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 1>this guy. Not only did he knock out two Nuggets fans.

0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you remember that who were messing

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 1>with him, but he called sons in four. He's like

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the Babe Ruth of calling his shot. Shout out to

0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>him and his right hand. It's pretty good. Yeah, but

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he deserves to me on our nice list.

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Our nice list is really prestigious and hard to make.

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:28.120
<v Speaker 1>And he you mentioned he hurt two Nuggets fans. Well,

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 1>here's the deal, Olivia. When I came on this show,

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the standard drop for a lot of things. So I'm

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 1>dropping the standard. Not only am I dropping the standard

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 1>for the content on this show and the sports Nodge

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.920
<v Speaker 1>also dropping the standard for who makes the nice list.

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 1>And that was entertaining. And so he's on my nice list. Well,

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to see who else may make our

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>naughty your nice list. He's our next guest. Let's go

0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 1>ahead and bring in Darren Williams to balance out our

0:16:55.400 --> 0:17:05.520
<v Speaker 1>naughty and nice. Let's see what we get now, let's

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 1>bringing our guests. He's a three time NBA All Star

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.600
<v Speaker 1>and I believe the only person in history to have

0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 1>won two gold medals with the US men's basketball team

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and also have an undefeated professional boxing record. One to oh,

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.040

0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:32.640
<v Speaker 1>nice glow to you that a little coping marks, but yeah,

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 1>not so good. Yeah, I gotta ask you that shove,

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 1>that Frank Gore shove. Were you trying to get him

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.240
<v Speaker 1>out of the ring? Was it like a w W

0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:45.639
<v Speaker 1>E move war? No, he was just grabbing and holding.

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.520
<v Speaker 1>And if you look like I broke away from him

0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.119
<v Speaker 1>and hit him because he was holding and then he

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:52.760
<v Speaker 1>went to grab me again, and so it was just

0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.240
<v Speaker 1>like a push, which happens a lot in boxing if

0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 1>you watch boxing. Usually they you know, they bounce off

0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 1>the ropes, not go through them. I think he was

0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:04.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to sneak in a breather. I mean he looked

0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 1>a little winded. I mean you your cardio looked really good. Yeah,

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean I was tired, but I definitely had another

0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 1>round or two in me for sure. But yeah, I

0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:13.679
<v Speaker 1>think he was a little more gas than I was.

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:17.359
<v Speaker 1>How did this fight come to be? What motivated you

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 1>to even try this? Honestly? I got a call I

0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>was walking through Target one day from Niki Sabadarian, who

0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.439
<v Speaker 1>I knew from from his UFC days. You know, I

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:29.359
<v Speaker 1>hadn't spoken to him and over you know, six seven

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:32.000
<v Speaker 1>years probably, and I was walking through Target. I got

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a call from him saying he was back in the

0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.159
<v Speaker 1>fight game and I want to know if if I

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be an opponent for Frank Gore. Frank Gore

0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.199
<v Speaker 1>has been training and is looking for an opponent, and

0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>so gave me kind of all the details. And I

0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 1>talked to my business partner at my gym for this

0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 1>m M M A Safe ste and told him what was

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 1>going on. And I called him back later that night

0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.200
<v Speaker 1>and said we were in So it's kind of how

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 1>it happened. See, I usually lose cell service and targets.

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 1>That's really good that you did it. You said right

0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.879
<v Speaker 1>after that you were one and done. You said you're

0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.720
<v Speaker 1>never doing this again. Now you're a little bit removed,

0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.760
<v Speaker 1>do you still feel that way. I'm so sore today,

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:11.280
<v Speaker 1>my whole body sore. I don't know from the adrenaline

0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.879
<v Speaker 1>or what. But yeah, I think my mind is still

0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 1>still still the same, you know. Of course, like the

0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:19.080
<v Speaker 1>competitiveness of me wants to do, you know, another one.

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.879
<v Speaker 1>But if I was younger, if I was you know,

0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:24.520
<v Speaker 1>three or four or five years younger, I probably would

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.720
<v Speaker 1>do another one. But but at my age right now,

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 1>it's just like just a lot, you know. It's a

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.720
<v Speaker 1>lot too to train for us, a lot. I talked

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:35.760
<v Speaker 1>about the post fight press conference where I just you know,

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 1>my kids have a lot of stuff going on right now,

0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.280
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to try to just dedicate myself

0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:43.080
<v Speaker 1>to another sport again and miss time with them. So

0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:47.040
<v Speaker 1>as of right now, yeah, I officially retired from boxing. It.

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 1>How long have you been an M m A fan? Because,

0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.479
<v Speaker 1>like you said, you're you're financially involved in it, you train.

0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>How far back is you love for M M A?

0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:58.919
<v Speaker 1>Go all the way back to the beginning, you know,

0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I've always been a a UFC fans since day one,

0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:04.280
<v Speaker 1>since it came on, And when I was in Utah,

0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I used to I knew a lot of the local

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.720
<v Speaker 1>fighters there, you know, guys like Josh Berkman who was

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.040
<v Speaker 1>fighting for the UFC and and the World Series of

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Fighting at the time, and Steven Siler and a bunch

0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.680
<v Speaker 1>of other guys, Shawn O'Connell and so I used to

0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 1>go to like the little promotions out there, and just

0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:22.960
<v Speaker 1>something I've always enjoyed them. I've always been drawn to

0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 1>M M A. I think because of my wrestling background

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and so I just always had that love for it. Yeah,

0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I guess you gotta find something to do in Salt

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Lake City anyway, right, Not that it's not that bad

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:36.239
<v Speaker 1>or if you're looking at a party every night, you know,

0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Salt Lake is probably not the place you want to be,

0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 1>But it's a it's a really fun, fun city. I

0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 1>just remember every time I've been in Salt Lake City,

0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:47.240
<v Speaker 1>like the first time I went, all these girls would

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 1>come up to me and start talking to me and

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 1>being really nice, and I was like, Wow, this must

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:53.720
<v Speaker 1>be a city where it's easy to pick up chicks.

0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:55.359
<v Speaker 1>And all of them were just trying to get me

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 1>into the churchill out of day Saints. You know, they

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:05.560
<v Speaker 1>have a mission, they have a mission. How do you

0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:08.880
<v Speaker 1>describe like going into the fight, walking into the ring

0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.760
<v Speaker 1>verse walking into a playoff game or something like that,

0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.880
<v Speaker 1>because it's just you out there. I tried to stay

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of even killed, like the whole through this whole

0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 1>process and not get like two up or two down,

0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and honestly, it kind of felt like the same thing.

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, I really wasn't nervous. My nervousness started like

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 1>when I took the fight, and you know, five or

0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:31.840
<v Speaker 1>six weeks ago, when I wasn't there, when I was

0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:35.240
<v Speaker 1>out of shape, when hadn't sparred over you know, well

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:37.800
<v Speaker 1>over a year. I'm like, I don't know what, Maybe

0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:40.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe this was a mistake, maybe I shouldn't have done this.

0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>But as the fight got closer, I was ready to

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:45.919
<v Speaker 1>get in there. I was ready to stop training, you know,

0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:49.159
<v Speaker 1>stop sparring. I wanted just to fight. And so, you know,

0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the walk was fun, but I feel like it just

0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:53.679
<v Speaker 1>happened so quick, and it was like it almost was

0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:55.159
<v Speaker 1>like I wasn't even there. It was like I was

0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:57.600
<v Speaker 1>just kind of floating. My coach was talking to me,

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, get me ready, got in a ring, and

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:02.280
<v Speaker 1>it felt like it just all of a sudden, we

0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:04.480
<v Speaker 1>were in the middle and it started and it was

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of surreal. How much would you love to drop

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:10.080
<v Speaker 1>down and wait just one more fight and just beat

0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:15.640
<v Speaker 1>the ship out of Jake Paul. Listen, man, that kid

0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:17.680
<v Speaker 1>is tough. You know, you can say what you want

0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:20.880
<v Speaker 1>to say. And I know, you know he's calling out

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.679
<v Speaker 1>Canelo and stuff like that. That's ridiculous, but you know

0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:26.400
<v Speaker 1>you have to respect what he's done. I mean, he's

0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:30.760
<v Speaker 1>he's knocked out every pony's faced, every opponents faced, he

0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:34.439
<v Speaker 1>wasn't supposed to win, and he can fight. I mean

0:22:34.480 --> 0:22:38.240
<v Speaker 1>he kicked in box he uh. That being said, I

0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:40.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like at some point he's gonna get humbled. They've

0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:42.320
<v Speaker 1>picked the right opponents, every one, and they haven't found

0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the one that's gonna humble him yet. I don't think

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be me, like I said, because of my age.

0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:49.640
<v Speaker 1>He's been doing this for you know, two or three

0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:51.800
<v Speaker 1>years now, seriously, so he's got to jump on me

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:55.239
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that. But you know he's good. You

0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:58.639
<v Speaker 1>sound like such a typical former athlete who says, you know,

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 1>at my age, at my age, you think, listen to this,

0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:05.040
<v Speaker 1>you're sixty seven years old, Like I feel sixty seven

0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:10.000
<v Speaker 1>right now, right in this moment when I laugh right now,

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:13.360
<v Speaker 1>my back hurt well, and this is not the podcast

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:15.240
<v Speaker 1>to come on because you're honest, will crack you up. No,

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:18.159
<v Speaker 1>it's funny when when an NFL player, NBA player is

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:21.320
<v Speaker 1>going into a game and the announcers will say, and

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:24.280
<v Speaker 1>how about this folks, here he is at thirty three

0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:27.280
<v Speaker 1>years old? Can you believe it? And you're like, what

0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:29.879
<v Speaker 1>the hell? I'm thirty four and still paying my you know,

0:23:29.920 --> 0:23:33.439
<v Speaker 1>college debts. What is the average fans watching it? Like

0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:36.840
<v Speaker 1>what are they talking about? But how difficult was that

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:41.399
<v Speaker 1>at your age to get ready? Like dog years? Right? Yeah,

0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 1>that's what it's like that, Like, you know, you compare

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:47.199
<v Speaker 1>my body at thirty seven to somebody who was not

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:50.280
<v Speaker 1>who wasn't a professional athlete, who didn't you know, put

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:53.960
<v Speaker 1>in twelve years and plus college, plus AU and all that.

0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:57.119
<v Speaker 1>I got a lot more miles than than the typical person.

0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Bone on bone and both knees and you know, I

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:02.399
<v Speaker 1>strained my ankle in the first round. I don't even

0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:04.760
<v Speaker 1>know it. Somebody told me I did. But after I

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:06.480
<v Speaker 1>swool up and I was like, I don't even remember

0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:09.680
<v Speaker 1>what happened. But and it was tough. It was tough

0:24:09.720 --> 0:24:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to get through the camp. You know, there was times

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:12.720
<v Speaker 1>where I was like, and I don't know if I

0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:16.240
<v Speaker 1>can make it. I had a risk injury throughout camp

0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:19.240
<v Speaker 1>where I two weeks out. I was like, man like

0:24:19.640 --> 0:24:21.560
<v Speaker 1>everything him. He was like, I'm not fooling out, Like

0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:23.879
<v Speaker 1>it's gotta be broken for me to pull out. But

0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:28.240
<v Speaker 1>it was definitely causing some issues, inspiring things. You have

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:31.920
<v Speaker 1>a few daughters. I have a daughter now too. Should

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:34.359
<v Speaker 1>I take up boxing or m m A. Just to

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 1>let you guys know what the deal is, let him know.

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:39.960
<v Speaker 1>You let him know so you know, like my my

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:42.680
<v Speaker 1>oldest her boyfriend was over yesterday. You know, he was

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 1>congratulated me and stuff. But he's thinking twice now even

0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean he already was before I figured him, but

0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:51.720
<v Speaker 1>now he's really thinking twice. Like, man, you know, I

0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:55.119
<v Speaker 1>gotta be straight and narrow. I can't. I can't mess up.

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:58.320
<v Speaker 1>I would think just as a former NBA player, that'd

0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:01.280
<v Speaker 1>be intimidating enough. But now you have like actual tape

0:25:01.320 --> 0:25:03.360
<v Speaker 1>he can turn on and watch and be like, oh

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:07.840
<v Speaker 1>that's a mean nuppercut. Yeah, I tell you you've got reach, man,

0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:10.280
<v Speaker 1>You've got a nice little reach, nice little one too,

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:14.199
<v Speaker 1>nice little jab, nice little cross. You better be careful,

0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:18.159
<v Speaker 1>very careful. Okay, let's talk about this NBA season. I

0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 1>want to pick your brain a little bit on the

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:23.040
<v Speaker 1>nets and just everything that we're seeing across sports with

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 1>covid and obviously the Kyrie story has been huge. But

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:27.919
<v Speaker 1>what do you see with the nets, especially now that

0:25:28.000 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 1>they can and plan on mixing and Kyrie. Yeah, it's tough.

0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean this is a tough situation for everybody. You know,

0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Re has his fans and I respect that. Yeah, props

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:41.159
<v Speaker 1>to have for not waivering, for not folding, you know,

0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:44.960
<v Speaker 1>for sticking to his guns. And I'm glad he's gotta

0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 1>be able to, you know, be incorporated back to the team.

0:25:47.040 --> 0:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>But also like how does that work, you know, having

0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:52.359
<v Speaker 1>somebody on the there half the games. And I was

0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:54.440
<v Speaker 1>thinking about we're talking about it the other day when

0:25:54.480 --> 0:25:56.359
<v Speaker 1>when it was announced. Its like the playoffs. That's the

0:25:56.400 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 1>toughest thing. It's like a like half playoff games. You know,

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:02.239
<v Speaker 1>that's crazy. But I think there's a team that can

0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 1>do it. It's one of those teams where there's a

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:06.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of veterans and you guys will feeling and they

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:09.399
<v Speaker 1>can you know, they have probuably top two player in

0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the league, and Kevin Durant games hard, and so I

0:26:12.280 --> 0:26:14.840
<v Speaker 1>think they'll be okay. Do you think it's hard because

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:17.240
<v Speaker 1>I remember you went what was it you Joe Johnson

0:26:17.560 --> 0:26:20.080
<v Speaker 1>and uh I can't remember the third, but you were

0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:22.879
<v Speaker 1>kind of put on a team that was considered like

0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a super team. Do you think

0:26:24.840 --> 0:26:27.680
<v Speaker 1>it's hard, like for the Lakers and and the Nets

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:31.320
<v Speaker 1>to get the chemistry. Is the talent more important or

0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:36.360
<v Speaker 1>is the chemistry more important? KG? Paul peers, Yeah, Paul, Yeah,

0:26:36.480 --> 0:26:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the chemistry. I think chemistry is everything,

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 1>because you can have all the talent in the world,

0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:43.399
<v Speaker 1>but if it's not the right mix, if they don't mesh,

0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:45.640
<v Speaker 1>if they don't you know, play well together, then it

0:26:45.640 --> 0:26:49.840
<v Speaker 1>it makes things tough. And I think that I like

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn's mix of talent a little bit better than I

0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:55.439
<v Speaker 1>do l A's. I think it goes well together. But

0:26:55.480 --> 0:26:58.359
<v Speaker 1>also it's hard to tell right now. So it's so

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:01.560
<v Speaker 1>early with those teams, and they just out together, especially

0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:04.200
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers, and I know that once the playoffs hit,

0:27:04.359 --> 0:27:06.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, those teams, especially Lebron teams, they turn it

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:09.280
<v Speaker 1>up a whole another notch. That's kind of I think

0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:11.240
<v Speaker 1>you gotta wait till it gets into the latter part

0:27:11.240 --> 0:27:12.399
<v Speaker 1>of the season. I mean, it's not an All Star

0:27:12.480 --> 0:27:15.600
<v Speaker 1>break yet, so a lot of people tend to panic early,

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:19.240
<v Speaker 1>especially with these super teams, and so you can't really

0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:21.840
<v Speaker 1>do that. You just gotta let it play out. What

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:24.480
<v Speaker 1>are you seeing from another team in the state of California,

0:27:24.560 --> 0:27:27.480
<v Speaker 1>especially as a former guard yourself, The Warriors have been

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:29.720
<v Speaker 1>so hot. Steph Curry just breaking the all time three

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:32.200
<v Speaker 1>point record as well. I mean, what are they doing

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:37.639
<v Speaker 1>that's so different from everyone else? They're healthy, Yeah, well

0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:40.679
<v Speaker 1>for the most part, you know, still waiting on you know,

0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:43.679
<v Speaker 1>on Clay, but you know, steps on a on a mission.

0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:46.520
<v Speaker 1>It seems like to prove that he's the best player

0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:50.160
<v Speaker 1>in the league, and rightfully so, because what he's doing

0:27:50.200 --> 0:27:53.480
<v Speaker 1>out there, night in and night out is incredible. You know,

0:27:53.560 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Draymond is playing great basketball. But I think the key

0:27:56.920 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 1>right now, a big part of the team is Andrew Wiggins.

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Very underrated, you know, superstar in this league, and I

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:05.960
<v Speaker 1>think he's just now like kind of coming into his

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 1>own and having that confidence playing for Steve Kerr. Does

0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:10.879
<v Speaker 1>that for you? You You know, he just has an ultimate

0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:13.680
<v Speaker 1>confidence right now. It's fun to watch. The team is

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:16.399
<v Speaker 1>just a fun team to watch and as dangerous as anybody,

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:19.840
<v Speaker 1>especially come playoffs. You were kind of sort of the

0:28:19.920 --> 0:28:23.360
<v Speaker 1>last generation of sort of the way the NBA used

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:26.760
<v Speaker 1>to be played, and now it's just everyone shooting up threes.

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Which league do you like better? That's a good question.

0:28:31.240 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's so it's tough to say. Um, if I

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:37.640
<v Speaker 1>was in my prime during this error right here, I think,

0:28:37.920 --> 0:28:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean it would be fun, yeah, you know, because

0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these two these guys just have the ultimate

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:44.959
<v Speaker 1>confidence because it's not really a bad shot. You know,

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 1>when I was playing, man, you took so many shots,

0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Slona, have your ass on the bench real quick.

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Like even me, it would be like, all right, you know,

0:28:51.880 --> 0:28:53.160
<v Speaker 1>you come sit down right here by me for a

0:28:53.200 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 1>little bit and we'll see. We'll see how you like

0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:57.680
<v Speaker 1>taking those shots. This is a whole different league and

0:28:58.200 --> 0:29:00.280
<v Speaker 1>whole different way of playing. You know. Then this is

0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:02.880
<v Speaker 1>on getting up a lot of shots, a lot of

0:29:02.960 --> 0:29:05.440
<v Speaker 1>quick shots, a lot of threes. And it just wasn't

0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 1>like that. It was more you know, getting inside points

0:29:08.240 --> 0:29:10.560
<v Speaker 1>in the paint points in the paint points in the

0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:12.959
<v Speaker 1>paint and then you know, kick it out and hit

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:16.479
<v Speaker 1>some threes here and there. You mentioned Lebron James earlier

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:19.840
<v Speaker 1>and just how much he can change the personality of

0:29:19.840 --> 0:29:22.880
<v Speaker 1>a team. You played with him on Team USA, So

0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 1>be honest, what did you really think of Space Jam two.

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I like that. I like I like Space there too.

0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 1>It it was not Space Jam one. It wasn't as

0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:33.840
<v Speaker 1>good as Spacial In one. You know, I have younger,

0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:37.360
<v Speaker 1>younger kids. I have, you know, two boys. I thought

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 1>they did a good job of bringing in today's world

0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 1>social media and technology, like it's just a different it's

0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 1>a different time, and I thought they did a good

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:47.000
<v Speaker 1>job of bringing that in. And I enjoyed the movie.

0:29:47.200 --> 0:29:50.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, I still prefer Spaceham one. He said, all right,

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:52.880
<v Speaker 1>you gotta watch one or the other. I'm picking Space

0:29:52.960 --> 0:29:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Jam one. But it's also I also really enjoyed it.

0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:57.280
<v Speaker 1>My kids enjoyed it, and I thought it was a

0:29:57.320 --> 0:30:00.760
<v Speaker 1>good movie. On that note, just about Lebron, when you

0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:02.720
<v Speaker 1>were saying about k D said he's one of the

0:30:02.720 --> 0:30:05.240
<v Speaker 1>top two players in the league, I assume you're saying

0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Lebron's one, and then what are you seeing from him

0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:11.520
<v Speaker 1>this season? He's incredible. Yeah, I mean it's hard for

0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:13.960
<v Speaker 1>me to put anybody above Lebron, and probably will be

0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 1>until he retires. But Katie's he's like a one B,

0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, and on any day is one A. But yeah,

0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just incredible to see what he's doing

0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:26.800
<v Speaker 1>at his age. You know, we're the same age. I

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:28.840
<v Speaker 1>was feeling good, you know, I got got my weight

0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:31.320
<v Speaker 1>down for the fight, and I was taking my trash

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:32.680
<v Speaker 1>out the other day and I went to grab the

0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:35.240
<v Speaker 1>rim and I was impressed and I grabbed the rim

0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:38.479
<v Speaker 1>and then I see Lebron, you know, double pump in

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:42.200
<v Speaker 1>one hand bringing it under Duncan, and I'm like, dag, Like,

0:30:42.240 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm probably myself for grabbing the rim. And this dude

0:30:44.000 --> 0:30:47.720
<v Speaker 1>is getting thirty and twelve, you know, nightly, and so

0:30:48.200 --> 0:30:50.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just amazing to see what see him

0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:52.560
<v Speaker 1>playing the way he's playing night in and night out,

0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:55.680
<v Speaker 1>still leading teams, Still the best player in the league.

0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Are you still close with a K forty seven? You guys?

0:30:59.320 --> 0:31:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Still we talked on on Instagram. He lives in Russia,

0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I haven't talked to him like on

0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the phone in a while. I need to connect with him.

0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:08.200
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I talked to a lot of the

0:31:08.280 --> 0:31:11.560
<v Speaker 1>jazz guys, remember to Curb Boozer, you know, Ronnie Brewer

0:31:11.600 --> 0:31:15.160
<v Speaker 1>and so Kyle Korver of my old teammates. Um, but

0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:16.920
<v Speaker 1>I haven't talked to a k in a while. Just

0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of hit him on on Instagram here and there. Yeah,

0:31:20.680 --> 0:31:22.600
<v Speaker 1>what was it like playing for Jerry Sloan? I was

0:31:22.640 --> 0:31:25.520
<v Speaker 1>a big jazz fan during the run with him in

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Stockton All. I think Sloan is one of the most

0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:31.360
<v Speaker 1>underrated coaches. He's obviously a hard nosed defense guy, that's

0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the way he played. What was it like playing for him?

0:31:35.000 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 1>For sure? I mean you said it. He's one of

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:39.360
<v Speaker 1>those coaches that made you work hard, always had us

0:31:39.360 --> 0:31:42.120
<v Speaker 1>ready to play, you know, and it was fun. I

0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:44.520
<v Speaker 1>definitely enjoyed and I learned a lot playing for Coach Sloan.

0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:48.320
<v Speaker 1>And you know, even though it didn't end well between us,

0:31:48.600 --> 0:31:50.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's definitely was the best coach that I've

0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:52.800
<v Speaker 1>ever had a chance to play for him. Speaking of

0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:56.400
<v Speaker 1>the way things and retirement, I I always wonder how

0:31:56.440 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 1>guys decide when to hang it up, because you want

0:31:58.440 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 1>to go out on a high, but you also don't

0:32:01.120 --> 0:32:03.480
<v Speaker 1>want to be hobbling to the end. And I assume

0:32:03.560 --> 0:32:06.040
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of a group decision with your family, maybe

0:32:06.080 --> 0:32:09.440
<v Speaker 1>your agents involved. Walk me through your retirement, what factors

0:32:09.440 --> 0:32:12.320
<v Speaker 1>were involved. I didn't know if I was going to retire,

0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:14.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I honestly I didn't like I didn't like

0:32:14.640 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 1>how my last season ended, you know, the way I

0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:19.440
<v Speaker 1>went out in the series against the Warriors, you know,

0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:21.920
<v Speaker 1>going to for thirteen or whatever. I was from the field,

0:32:22.680 --> 0:32:26.000
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I didn't enjoy my that role. I

0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:27.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a chance to really grow into that role.

0:32:27.880 --> 0:32:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Was my first time not being a starter. You know,

0:32:30.480 --> 0:32:32.040
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of just like a little five months

0:32:32.560 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 1>what I was. I went from you know, starting you know,

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:38.560
<v Speaker 1>shooting fourteen fifteen shots a game, to coming off the

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:40.520
<v Speaker 1>beach and just kind of getting in where I fit in.

0:32:40.600 --> 0:32:44.480
<v Speaker 1>And it was a little adjustment and I didn't love

0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:47.640
<v Speaker 1>that role. And so after the season, I kind of

0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:49.800
<v Speaker 1>took some time and I wasn't sure if I wanted

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:52.520
<v Speaker 1>to play anymore. I dealt with a bunch of injuries

0:32:52.560 --> 0:32:56.600
<v Speaker 1>throughout my career, especially the last five years, where it

0:32:56.680 --> 0:32:58.960
<v Speaker 1>mentally took his toll on me, and I just wasn't

0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:00.560
<v Speaker 1>sure that I could make it through a season without

0:33:00.560 --> 0:33:03.200
<v Speaker 1>getting hurt and then you know, I have to deal

0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:06.120
<v Speaker 1>with that again. And so as time went on, and

0:33:06.800 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, I missed basketball, but also it was a

0:33:08.680 --> 0:33:11.960
<v Speaker 1>joint spending time with my family. That time off kind

0:33:11.960 --> 0:33:16.120
<v Speaker 1>of just extended into a retirement, early retirement for I

0:33:16.200 --> 0:33:18.840
<v Speaker 1>knew it's been four years, and you know, I definitely

0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:21.640
<v Speaker 1>missed the game. I missed competing. But it's a lot

0:33:21.720 --> 0:33:23.160
<v Speaker 1>to take four years off and try to come back

0:33:23.200 --> 0:33:25.239
<v Speaker 1>and play against these young kids, you know, especially at

0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:27.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven. So yeah, my time has done with basketball.

0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:30.840
<v Speaker 1>You brought up your kids a lot. You're clearly such

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:33.959
<v Speaker 1>a proud dad. We had Brandon Jacobs on a former giant,

0:33:34.000 --> 0:33:35.600
<v Speaker 1>on the show and he said, when he's at with

0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:37.400
<v Speaker 1>his kids and people come up to him and ask

0:33:37.480 --> 0:33:39.840
<v Speaker 1>him for a picture, he says, no, I'm not Brandon

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Jacobs today. Do you ever have to do that or

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:44.920
<v Speaker 1>have you ever had an unruly fan approach you when

0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:48.000
<v Speaker 1>you're out with your kids? Yeah? Yeah, I mean it

0:33:48.080 --> 0:33:51.840
<v Speaker 1>used to happen a lot, and you know, sometimes I

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:54.600
<v Speaker 1>probably didn't handle it the right way. But you know,

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:56.600
<v Speaker 1>now it doesn't really happen that much. And so when

0:33:56.680 --> 0:34:00.480
<v Speaker 1>it does, I'm definitely more obliged to to it, you know,

0:34:00.480 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 1>because it's just like a one and done before. You know,

0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 1>when I was playing, it was like one person comes

0:34:05.480 --> 0:34:09.719
<v Speaker 1>up pretty soon it's like twenty and you know, my

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:11.600
<v Speaker 1>kids are standing. They're looking at me, like I just

0:34:11.680 --> 0:34:14.799
<v Speaker 1>want to spend time with my dad and he's you know,

0:34:14.840 --> 0:34:17.840
<v Speaker 1>they don't understand that this is my job. This is

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:20.480
<v Speaker 1>These are fans, you know, they're four or five, six

0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:23.040
<v Speaker 1>years old. They just think, oh, my dad's not paying

0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:25.680
<v Speaker 1>attention to me. So I don't have to deal with

0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 1>that as much anymore. Like I said, So it's it's

0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not as big a deal and they understand, and

0:34:30.200 --> 0:34:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I think they actually kind of think it's cool. Now. Yeah,

0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:35.120
<v Speaker 1>for sure. I'm trying to remember when you play, did

0:34:35.120 --> 0:34:37.640
<v Speaker 1>the rest let guys get away with traveling as much

0:34:37.680 --> 0:34:39.560
<v Speaker 1>as they do? Now? Does that frustrate you when you're

0:34:39.560 --> 0:34:42.960
<v Speaker 1>watching I played basketball, it's my favorite sport, and watching it,

0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I just lose my mind. I mean they just I mean,

0:34:45.560 --> 0:34:47.640
<v Speaker 1>guys can take like four or five shots. I mean

0:34:47.680 --> 0:34:51.279
<v Speaker 1>it's like it's like rugby now. Yeah, I mean I

0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:52.680
<v Speaker 1>don't think it was as bad, but these some of

0:34:52.719 --> 0:34:55.399
<v Speaker 1>these moves that they're doing weren't kind of these are

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:58.480
<v Speaker 1>like new developed moves, you know, you see the James

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Harden step backs, kind of the new saying, Steph does

0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:03.520
<v Speaker 1>it a little bit? You know. I saw Trey Young

0:35:03.560 --> 0:35:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the other day. He took like one dribble from half court.

0:35:05.719 --> 0:35:08.799
<v Speaker 1>He's five, you know, five nine, and somehow got to

0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:12.279
<v Speaker 1>the basket, took about four steps and then I mean, yeah,

0:35:12.280 --> 0:35:14.720
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's funny sometimes to watch it. It's funny

0:35:14.760 --> 0:35:17.960
<v Speaker 1>too to see on Instagram and Twitter and stuff like

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:20.200
<v Speaker 1>that when they slow him down. But yeah, we definitely

0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:22.640
<v Speaker 1>weren't getting away with none of that stuff. You think

0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:23.960
<v Speaker 1>it's good for the game or is it like a

0:35:23.960 --> 0:35:27.319
<v Speaker 1>little Harlem blobtrottary. I don't know. I mean some of

0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:29.719
<v Speaker 1>them are. It's it's hard. I feel like it's when

0:35:29.719 --> 0:35:31.600
<v Speaker 1>you see him slow down, it's easy to catch. But

0:35:31.680 --> 0:35:33.799
<v Speaker 1>I feel like when it's real time, they're hard because

0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:36.520
<v Speaker 1>they're very subtle, you know, and it's like sometimes I

0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:39.440
<v Speaker 1>don't even notice it until it's slowed down. So, I mean,

0:35:39.440 --> 0:35:41.440
<v Speaker 1>the rest, as much as I hate him, they have

0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 1>a job, you know, they have a really tough out there. Yeah, no,

0:35:45.239 --> 0:35:47.279
<v Speaker 1>would not want to switch places at them. We've talked

0:35:47.320 --> 0:35:49.680
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about your run at the Olympics. I'm curious.

0:35:49.719 --> 0:35:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Two gold medals is a lifelong dream for so many

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:56.680
<v Speaker 1>athletes in various sports. It seems like the highest mark

0:35:56.800 --> 0:35:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you can get in your sport. But for an NBA player,

0:35:59.680 --> 0:36:01.640
<v Speaker 1>seems all y'all want to do is win it all?

0:36:02.000 --> 0:36:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Would you trade one of those? Are both of those

0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:07.839
<v Speaker 1>gold medals for an NBA ring? That's tough. I mean,

0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:11.240
<v Speaker 1>that's a tough that's tough. Why would you even ask me?

0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:16.560
<v Speaker 1>That's because we asked the tough questions. Obviously, I wish

0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:18.919
<v Speaker 1>I had a ring because I don't have one, and that's,

0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:22.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, something I'm missing from my career. But I don't.

0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:23.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I would trade one of my my

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:25.359
<v Speaker 1>gold medals. I mean, they mean they mean a lot

0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:29.680
<v Speaker 1>to me. An Olympian is is is an incredible honor,

0:36:29.960 --> 0:36:31.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, just to call yourself an Olympian but also

0:36:31.960 --> 0:36:33.759
<v Speaker 1>be able to call yourself a gold medalist and a

0:36:33.800 --> 0:36:36.560
<v Speaker 1>two time gold medalist. Think it's a really cool thing

0:36:36.600 --> 0:36:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and it makes me very proud and something I can

0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:41.319
<v Speaker 1>always be proud of. And so for that I don't

0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:43.120
<v Speaker 1>think I would ever trade one for a ring. I wish,

0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:45.920
<v Speaker 1>wish I would have been able to get one. In addition, yeah,

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you played with Kobe Bryant, obviously, did you all always

0:36:49.360 --> 0:36:52.080
<v Speaker 1>get along? He sometimes he was fiery and tough to

0:36:52.080 --> 0:36:54.799
<v Speaker 1>get along with because he was such a competitor. Yeah,

0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:58.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I never. I mean, of course there was

0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:01.000
<v Speaker 1>times times and games where I got into it with Kobe,

0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:03.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, just because of you know, I'm a competitor.

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:05.920
<v Speaker 1>He's a competitor. But we were always friendly and always

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:08.560
<v Speaker 1>it was always, you know, all love after after the

0:37:08.600 --> 0:37:10.760
<v Speaker 1>games or after they beat our ass in a serious

0:37:10.800 --> 0:37:14.520
<v Speaker 1>because I don't I never want a serious against him.

0:37:14.600 --> 0:37:16.719
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I mean it was. It was definitely fun

0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:19.600
<v Speaker 1>to compete against him, one of the greatest competitors that

0:37:19.560 --> 0:37:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I've ever had a chance to compete against. For sure.

0:37:22.200 --> 0:37:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Can you leave us with a great Kobe story? Was

0:37:24.400 --> 0:37:29.040
<v Speaker 1>there anything smack talk on the court, something funny? I've

0:37:29.080 --> 0:37:31.320
<v Speaker 1>told what I've told this story before, but I remember,

0:37:31.800 --> 0:37:34.440
<v Speaker 1>I think it was my rookie year. I think I

0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:36.360
<v Speaker 1>read a pick and roll with I think with the

0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:39.840
<v Speaker 1>two guard and Kobe switched on me and I was,

0:37:40.040 --> 0:37:42.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, trying to get into my little package and

0:37:42.040 --> 0:37:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and go buy me. As soon as I did, he

0:37:43.680 --> 0:37:46.360
<v Speaker 1>just like jumps jumps up into me and just starts smacking.

0:37:46.400 --> 0:37:51.360
<v Speaker 1>And I'm talking about just hacking me, right, And I

0:37:51.400 --> 0:37:54.600
<v Speaker 1>think I I got mad, like I finally got the

0:37:54.640 --> 0:37:57.040
<v Speaker 1>ball because you know, after I gathered it, throw it

0:37:57.040 --> 0:38:00.360
<v Speaker 1>away past and I'm complaining to the ref. He's like,

0:38:00.400 --> 0:38:01.680
<v Speaker 1>come on, you feel it in' I gonna call that

0:38:01.760 --> 0:38:05.279
<v Speaker 1>on me? And uh, like, I was so mad, but

0:38:05.360 --> 0:38:07.960
<v Speaker 1>it's like, yeah, you're right, they're not. I'm not going

0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:10.880
<v Speaker 1>to I have no worst. I haven't earned any respect

0:38:10.880 --> 0:38:13.120
<v Speaker 1>in this league. He's Kobe Bryant. So I just had

0:38:13.160 --> 0:38:16.160
<v Speaker 1>to kind of play through it. Well, you were, you

0:38:16.200 --> 0:38:19.080
<v Speaker 1>were a great player, man, you were. You were a big,

0:38:19.200 --> 0:38:24.839
<v Speaker 1>strong guard, nice low handle. Do you see any point

0:38:24.880 --> 0:38:27.840
<v Speaker 1>guards today that remind you of your game? Or is

0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:32.440
<v Speaker 1>everyone just finesse and shoot? That's so different because you know,

0:38:32.840 --> 0:38:34.880
<v Speaker 1>there's not a lot of post ups and I posted

0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:37.280
<v Speaker 1>up a lot. You know, I feel like the guards

0:38:37.280 --> 0:38:41.839
<v Speaker 1>are more a lot more athletic than me. That's for sure,

0:38:42.440 --> 0:38:45.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot quicker, but it's just a different style of game,

0:38:45.600 --> 0:38:48.040
<v Speaker 1>and so it's kind of hard to compare you know

0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:52.399
<v Speaker 1>myself to anybody this out there right now? Yeah, we're

0:38:52.400 --> 0:38:55.760
<v Speaker 1>finding out. You gotta go, man, this was an amazing time.

0:38:55.960 --> 0:38:59.319
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for coming. It's an homymous speak to you. You're

0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:03.480
<v Speaker 1>boxing and uh good good luck keeping those dudes away

0:39:03.520 --> 0:39:08.000
<v Speaker 1>from the daughters with that long reach. I appreciate it.

0:39:08.040 --> 0:39:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for having Yeah, Darren, I can't wait to talk

0:39:10.360 --> 0:39:12.120
<v Speaker 1>to you after your next win in the ring because

0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:14.680
<v Speaker 1>something tells me you're not really done. I don't know

0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:18.359
<v Speaker 1>about that. Thanks Darren, that was amazing. All right, thank you.

0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:47.560
<v Speaker 1>We're joined now by Peter Andrew, who was son kissed

0:39:47.760 --> 0:39:50.520
<v Speaker 1>from his weekend in Florida, but he's starving because he's

0:39:50.520 --> 0:39:52.520
<v Speaker 1>now on a reduced cleanse to make up for his

0:39:52.640 --> 0:39:55.239
<v Speaker 1>sins in Florida. Peter, are you with us? Are you?

0:39:55.440 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Are you coherent? If the pigs don't hit this week?

0:39:58.800 --> 0:40:02.120
<v Speaker 1>His wife's blamed that you cleans. Anyone who's done in

0:40:02.160 --> 0:40:04.440
<v Speaker 1>juice cleans knows that is not for the faint of heart.

0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:07.760
<v Speaker 1>It it's headache inducing. You feel weak, you feel piste

0:40:07.800 --> 0:40:10.319
<v Speaker 1>off at everyone in the side of food makes you

0:40:10.800 --> 0:40:14.160
<v Speaker 1>just jealous, really right, Yeah, I am. I feel like

0:40:14.160 --> 0:40:16.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm on another planet. Right now. But it's okay, Christmas

0:40:16.840 --> 0:40:21.000
<v Speaker 1>is almost here. Seven fishes Italian style, we'll be there soon. Okay,

0:40:21.040 --> 0:40:22.719
<v Speaker 1>you guys have to walk me through that. What is that?

0:40:23.320 --> 0:40:26.800
<v Speaker 1>So Italians don't eat meat on Christmas Eve? So we

0:40:26.920 --> 0:40:31.239
<v Speaker 1>do seven fishes. So whether it's crabs, calmari, we do

0:40:31.760 --> 0:40:34.520
<v Speaker 1>lobster like front diablo. So you do seven different unique

0:40:34.520 --> 0:40:37.520
<v Speaker 1>types of fish, no meat all day and then Christmas

0:40:37.600 --> 0:40:39.840
<v Speaker 1>days when you go go nuts with meat. Honest, what

0:40:39.880 --> 0:40:42.799
<v Speaker 1>do the Greeks do? The Greek's eat lamb? We eat

0:40:42.880 --> 0:40:47.320
<v Speaker 1>lamb at every occasion. I mean people say a wolf

0:40:47.480 --> 0:40:50.920
<v Speaker 1>is the lamb's natural predator, but they are second in

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:53.400
<v Speaker 1>line to the Greeks. Greeks are the number one lamb

0:40:53.440 --> 0:40:57.640
<v Speaker 1>predator on the planet. We really threaten their population numbers.

0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:01.120
<v Speaker 1>You just say it's about a Jew cleanse. You also

0:41:01.120 --> 0:41:03.200
<v Speaker 1>know when someone's on a juice close they've been a

0:41:03.320 --> 0:41:07.080
<v Speaker 1>naughty boy. So your d Jews on our naughty list.

0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:10.320
<v Speaker 1>He must have been drinking who knows what he was

0:41:10.400 --> 0:41:12.360
<v Speaker 1>drinking and eating to get him on that juice cleanse.

0:41:12.640 --> 0:41:14.640
<v Speaker 1>But juice cleanses are always trying to make up for

0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:19.239
<v Speaker 1>something horribly did. We'll get stuff on the podcast next week,

0:41:19.239 --> 0:41:23.480
<v Speaker 1>and you'll hear I'm in the doghouse. Oh yeah, you're

0:41:23.520 --> 0:41:26.880
<v Speaker 1>also you're reprimanding yourself for doing something really bad. Okay,

0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:29.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll have to ask stuff about that. Okay, let's get

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:31.800
<v Speaker 1>to NFL. Because it is Christmas week, we are loaded

0:41:31.880 --> 0:41:34.920
<v Speaker 1>up with games. In fact, this past weekend was so bizarre.

0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:37.640
<v Speaker 1>We had games going until Tuesday. So what are we

0:41:37.680 --> 0:41:39.759
<v Speaker 1>looking at this week, Peter, you get to pick every

0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:47.839
<v Speaker 1>week our three games punishment Pitch. Yeah, you know it's

0:41:47.880 --> 0:41:50.359
<v Speaker 1>crazy with all the COVID stuff, but selfishly, it's kind

0:41:50.360 --> 0:41:54.520
<v Speaker 1>of fun when you have Saturday night football, Sunday football, Monday, Tuesday.

0:41:54.560 --> 0:41:57.759
<v Speaker 1>So you know it's weird, but we're not complaining. So

0:41:57.960 --> 0:42:00.760
<v Speaker 1>great Slate. Coming into this week, we're starting to really find,

0:42:00.960 --> 0:42:03.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, those let's call it nine teams in each

0:42:03.239 --> 0:42:06.279
<v Speaker 1>conference that are probably voing for the playoff spots. So

0:42:06.320 --> 0:42:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I've picked it based off that. So first game, Christmas

0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Night on you have a really interesting one. You have

0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Colts plus one at the Cardinals, So Cardinals one point favorite.

0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Kyler Murray not looking good last couple of games, especially

0:42:20.880 --> 0:42:23.960
<v Speaker 1>since coming back from injury. DeAndre Hopkins out for the year.

0:42:24.280 --> 0:42:26.319
<v Speaker 1>And then obviously you've seen what Jonathan Taylor has done

0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:29.080
<v Speaker 1>last couple of weeks, ending the game last week with

0:42:29.160 --> 0:42:32.080
<v Speaker 1>that sixty eight yard touchdown run. He is that offense

0:42:32.120 --> 0:42:34.360
<v Speaker 1>and is that team so an interesting one? Here? What

0:42:34.400 --> 0:42:38.200
<v Speaker 1>do you guys like? I'm surprised that the Colts aren't favorite.

0:42:38.640 --> 0:42:41.440
<v Speaker 1>That's crazy. They've looked so good. They beat the Patriots,

0:42:41.480 --> 0:42:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals just lost to the Lions, and I don't know.

0:42:45.239 --> 0:42:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess you could say, oh, they they're so embarrassed.

0:42:47.640 --> 0:42:51.480
<v Speaker 1>They come back swinging, they overcompensate, So maybe that, but

0:42:51.520 --> 0:42:53.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I think the Colts are just so sneaky.

0:42:53.800 --> 0:42:56.120
<v Speaker 1>They're like the first team that hard knocks coming to

0:42:56.200 --> 0:43:00.000
<v Speaker 1>them was a blessing, and we've seen this revitalized team.

0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Gotta take the Colts. I'm gonna agree here. I think

0:43:03.200 --> 0:43:06.360
<v Speaker 1>that Cults is the culture team nobody wants to see.

0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:09.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, It's like, oh boy, they could beat anybody.

0:43:09.719 --> 0:43:12.640
<v Speaker 1>So uh and for all the reasons you just mentioned,

0:43:12.640 --> 0:43:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going with the Colts too. Yeah. I think they've

0:43:15.520 --> 0:43:19.800
<v Speaker 1>played the top two defenses rush defenses, I think in

0:43:19.840 --> 0:43:23.080
<v Speaker 1>the Bills and the Patriots, and they've essentially Jonathan Tyler

0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:25.360
<v Speaker 1>has made a mockery of them. I really like Colts

0:43:25.400 --> 0:43:28.520
<v Speaker 1>here too, So I'm with you guys. Next on, So

0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:32.440
<v Speaker 1>you had Vikings at home playing the Rams. Vikings are

0:43:32.480 --> 0:43:36.719
<v Speaker 1>plus three, so they are a home dog. Very intriguing win.

0:43:36.800 --> 0:43:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess you can call it from Monday Night against

0:43:39.120 --> 0:43:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the Bears, where it's a bit closer, probably than they'd like.

0:43:41.800 --> 0:43:43.799
<v Speaker 1>I know it's a little bit tough playing at Lambeau.

0:43:43.960 --> 0:43:46.200
<v Speaker 1>So Rams minus three at the Vikings. What do you

0:43:46.200 --> 0:43:49.239
<v Speaker 1>guys like here? I like the Rams. I feel like

0:43:49.239 --> 0:43:51.239
<v Speaker 1>they're not out of it quite yet, and I just

0:43:51.280 --> 0:43:55.200
<v Speaker 1>think they're the better team. M I mean, this is tough. Yeah,

0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Vikings have have proven their salt. I want to say

0:43:57.440 --> 0:44:00.280
<v Speaker 1>their last ten games have been one score game times,

0:44:00.680 --> 0:44:03.520
<v Speaker 1>which is just wild. They're the heart attack of the NFL.

0:44:03.680 --> 0:44:06.880
<v Speaker 1>But I'm gonna go to Rams. I'm gonna go with

0:44:06.920 --> 0:44:10.200
<v Speaker 1>the Vikings on this one. I think they're also a

0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:13.040
<v Speaker 1>team that can upset anybody, can beat anybody, and I

0:44:13.080 --> 0:44:15.960
<v Speaker 1>think this game just goes to them. You know, this

0:44:16.040 --> 0:44:18.359
<v Speaker 1>is just gonna be their week. They play well every week,

0:44:18.440 --> 0:44:21.560
<v Speaker 1>and uh, let's give it to the Vikings on this one.

0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I've got a smoldering hot take that Olivia is probably

0:44:25.080 --> 0:44:33.520
<v Speaker 1>not gonna like Justin Jefferson best wide receiver in the NFL. Well, okay, well,

0:44:33.560 --> 0:44:35.680
<v Speaker 1>actually some of the best wide receivers in this game.

0:44:35.719 --> 0:44:38.560
<v Speaker 1>To Cooper Cup, I don't know. My husband got very

0:44:38.560 --> 0:44:40.560
<v Speaker 1>mad at me on one of our shows. I said,

0:44:40.800 --> 0:44:43.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Rams have the best, uh, they're the

0:44:43.400 --> 0:44:45.360
<v Speaker 1>best wide receiver in the league. And he just shot

0:44:45.400 --> 0:44:47.239
<v Speaker 1>me a look and he said, Davantae Adams is the

0:44:47.239 --> 0:44:50.360
<v Speaker 1>best receiver in the league. And I said, statistically, Cooper

0:44:50.360 --> 0:44:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Cup is, and he got very mad at me. He

0:44:53.160 --> 0:44:55.640
<v Speaker 1>kept bringing that one up. But no, I think that

0:44:55.800 --> 0:45:00.719
<v Speaker 1>is a smoldering cold take. It's between those three. Yeah,

0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:03.759
<v Speaker 1>you got to give him credit. He definitely he could be.

0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:06.160
<v Speaker 1>He could be the best. I mean that, you know,

0:45:06.320 --> 0:45:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Rogers has a lot of targets and Adams gets so

0:45:09.480 --> 0:45:12.480
<v Speaker 1>much attention. That's the thing. They're starting to put two

0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:14.920
<v Speaker 1>guys on him. Now. I'm not saying Kirk Cousins is

0:45:14.920 --> 0:45:17.279
<v Speaker 1>a terrible quarterback, because he's not. But I think you

0:45:17.320 --> 0:45:21.120
<v Speaker 1>put Justin Jefferson with Stafford or with with Rogers, and

0:45:21.160 --> 0:45:23.360
<v Speaker 1>I think you're gonna see as good of if not

0:45:23.480 --> 0:45:26.919
<v Speaker 1>better production as Adams and Cup gets. So we'll see,

0:45:26.960 --> 0:45:28.640
<v Speaker 1>We'll wait a couple of years and I'll hopefully get

0:45:28.640 --> 0:45:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the last laugh. But it's those three and with Dalvin

0:45:31.360 --> 0:45:35.239
<v Speaker 1>Cook in the backfield also distract defenses. I mean, he's yeah,

0:45:35.840 --> 0:45:41.400
<v Speaker 1>that's the siss take baby, that's what we love again.

0:45:41.680 --> 0:45:44.160
<v Speaker 1>If Justin Jefferson ends up just not panning out after

0:45:44.200 --> 0:45:47.640
<v Speaker 1>this year, it's it's the juice plans. It was. My

0:45:47.680 --> 0:45:50.759
<v Speaker 1>mind is all over the place last game. So this

0:45:50.880 --> 0:45:52.879
<v Speaker 1>is a repeat of it of an interesting one from

0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:55.920
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago. Bill's Patriots. So at Fox

0:45:55.960 --> 0:45:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Barrow this time around, Bills are plus two and a half.

0:45:58.560 --> 0:46:01.120
<v Speaker 1>This is another one that's airlines to me. So Patriots.

0:46:01.160 --> 0:46:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Mine is to an half at home. What do you

0:46:03.040 --> 0:46:05.200
<v Speaker 1>guys think here? Bills are looking a little bit better

0:46:05.239 --> 0:46:08.480
<v Speaker 1>than they were of late. Yeah, well at the number.

0:46:08.600 --> 0:46:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I especially love the Patriots. I think to win by

0:46:11.680 --> 0:46:13.640
<v Speaker 1>three is easy. But I like them on the money

0:46:13.640 --> 0:46:15.799
<v Speaker 1>line too. I think I think it's Patriots to win.

0:46:15.840 --> 0:46:18.040
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not even second guessing that. I'm not even

0:46:18.040 --> 0:46:21.120
<v Speaker 1>looking into it or giving you reasons why. Yeah, I

0:46:21.160 --> 0:46:24.440
<v Speaker 1>saw some holes in the Patriots last game. I watched

0:46:26.320 --> 0:46:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm going out on our hands. Yeah, I saw some holes.

0:46:29.880 --> 0:46:32.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm a scout. I'm a scout. I'm gonna I'm going

0:46:32.840 --> 0:46:36.000
<v Speaker 1>with Buffalo. Baby. They're putting it together. Now they're putting together.

0:46:36.160 --> 0:46:38.799
<v Speaker 1>You know, did a good start, they sagged in the middle.

0:46:38.920 --> 0:46:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Now they're putting it together for the run. This is

0:46:41.360 --> 0:46:43.480
<v Speaker 1>a big game. Both teams need this. I think the

0:46:43.480 --> 0:46:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Bills probably need it more. They're on the cusp of

0:46:46.880 --> 0:46:48.560
<v Speaker 1>a playoff spot. I think they're in the six or

0:46:48.560 --> 0:46:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the seventh slot, but this one essentially could determine the division.

0:46:52.000 --> 0:46:54.719
<v Speaker 1>So huge game. And I think this week as a

0:46:54.719 --> 0:46:57.439
<v Speaker 1>whole is just an incredible slate. So what better way

0:46:57.440 --> 0:46:59.520
<v Speaker 1>to celebrate Christmas in the Hall it is than with

0:47:00.160 --> 0:47:03.240
<v Speaker 1>really good games this weekend. I love it. Yeah, Ho

0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:05.160
<v Speaker 1>ho ho. Can't wait for those. That's gonna be a

0:47:05.200 --> 0:47:07.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun, guys. Enjoy eating your lamb and your

0:47:07.800 --> 0:47:10.160
<v Speaker 1>fish and whatever the hell else you're gonna do with

0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:12.520
<v Speaker 1>your family's on Christmas. But it's going to be a

0:47:12.560 --> 0:47:14.520
<v Speaker 1>good one, a lot of good football to watch. Peter,

0:47:14.719 --> 0:47:24.600
<v Speaker 1>thanks so much. Now we have saved the best for last,

0:47:24.719 --> 0:47:27.080
<v Speaker 1>because I got a little Christmas gift for you. Honest,

0:47:27.560 --> 0:47:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I want our pick segment last week, which means it's

0:47:30.160 --> 0:47:33.520
<v Speaker 1>time for you to pay off our punishment pick and

0:47:33.600 --> 0:47:36.080
<v Speaker 1>read an embarrassing out show that I wrote for you,

0:47:36.080 --> 0:47:40.360
<v Speaker 1>yours truly, that's right, the champ is back on her throne.

0:47:40.840 --> 0:47:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Call me, King Livy. Go ahead, read what I wrote,

0:47:45.000 --> 0:47:47.880
<v Speaker 1>King Livy, your Queen liv Well, you know how like

0:47:47.960 --> 0:47:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Kylie Jenner calls herself King Kylie. Yes, I was going

0:47:51.600 --> 0:47:55.360
<v Speaker 1>for that. Okay, go ahead, just read it. Okay, Ducky,

0:47:55.440 --> 0:48:04.200
<v Speaker 1>here you go, King Livy. It's yeah, King Livy. Thanks

0:48:04.239 --> 0:48:07.440
<v Speaker 1>to all of you for listening this year, and a

0:48:07.680 --> 0:48:12.839
<v Speaker 1>bigger thanks to King Livy for letting me ride her coattails.

0:48:12.960 --> 0:48:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I've been riding them all year after I secured John

0:48:17.239 --> 0:48:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Stamos that one time my value has really planned Whinner

0:48:25.160 --> 0:48:28.760
<v Speaker 1>contract negotiations for next year. I need to call Stamos

0:48:28.800 --> 0:48:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and get him back on. But I think our listeners

0:48:31.440 --> 0:48:35.399
<v Speaker 1>can actually appreciate how I've gotten missed Decker to loosen up.

0:48:35.520 --> 0:48:39.359
<v Speaker 1>I think she's actually gotten funnier because of me. We

0:48:39.440 --> 0:48:44.920
<v Speaker 1>already know how fertiless stunting she is. Wow, that's uncomfortable,

0:48:45.440 --> 0:48:50.439
