Speaker 2: of the shows. We have in the past a ton
Speaker 2: to do today over the next forty minutes or so,
Speaker 2: as we always do. By the way, I'm Nick, He's Demanse.
Speaker 2: Demanse's a little under the weather, so he sounds a
Speaker 2: little clogged up today. Our apologies. He's powering through it.
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, post pandemic and not supposed to
Speaker 2: come to work if you're sick. Demanse, on the other hand,
Speaker 2: is breathing all over me in these ghost spaces. No problem.
Speaker 2: We'll get before we get to the actual show, as
Speaker 2: we always do. However, what missed the cut for today's show.
Speaker 2: Here's what's not on today's show. Tonight's Thursday night football game,
Speaker 2: which one of the worst nationally televised games ever with
Speaker 2: the Bears and Washington. The most exciting new basketball documentary
Speaker 2: has not made the show. Greadem Team or the Jeremy
Speaker 2: Lynn Dock You might say, Nick, why not? What do
Speaker 2: you think of him? I haven't watched him. Why haven't
Speaker 2: you watched the docs? Nick? Because I read books? Like
Speaker 2: everyone's like, oh, make this documentary. My friend Dan Levittard
Speaker 2: he's the and We're gonna make thirty new sports documentaries.
Speaker 2: It's just because people won't read anymore. How about that?
Speaker 2: Does it take that documentary? The popularity of documentaries is
Speaker 2: directly correlated to people's People just won't read books. Just
Speaker 2: pop open a book. America turn off Netflix when you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I want to learn something, You know how I'm gonna
Speaker 2: learn something laying in bed and watching it be told
Speaker 2: to be read a god Dog book once in a while.
Speaker 2: Also not on the Today's Show, Ben Simmons air ball
Speaker 2: at that outdoor nets practice one of the worst shots
Speaker 2: anyone's ever seen. Ben is now talked about it. He's like,
Speaker 2: I did an airball every shot. If you're watching on YouTube,
Speaker 2: there's the video of it. There was not a single
Speaker 2: unique or interesting take on this, except for the one
Speaker 2: demand's head before we get to the actual show. What
Speaker 2: was your take on that horrifying Ben Simmons shot that.
Speaker 2: My television co host Kevin Wilde said he could shoot
Speaker 2: with better form with a fifty pound medicine ball than
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons shot that. What's your take?
Speaker 3: My take is was calculated.
Speaker 4: I think it's like a not a marketing strategy, but
Speaker 4: I think it's to get the people talking. You know,
Speaker 4: everybody's already awesome. Yeah, oh you think I can't shoot exactly?
Speaker 4: And then how slow the wind up was For it
Speaker 4: to be that far off, It just seems like he's
Speaker 4: got to be doing that on purpose.
Speaker 2: Man, Okay, real quick before we get to our main topic,
Speaker 2: which is of course chiefs bills. That is a great take.
Speaker 2: If that's not what it was, and that was in
Speaker 2: that was his best attempt at the shot. How how
Speaker 2: bad is that? In your opinion?
Speaker 3: That's pretty bad. I mean that was like it was
Speaker 3: like a ten foo.
Speaker 2: I think it's gotten I think a shot has gotten worse.
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connor, who's a great writer and podcaster from the
Speaker 2: Wringer five years ago, five years ago, made the argument
Speaker 2: Ben Simmons shoots with the wrong hand because he's one
Speaker 2: of these lefty righty guys and he shoots with his
Speaker 2: left hand and he used to shoot with his right hand.
Speaker 2: I think Kevin O'Connor was correct.
Speaker 3: Does Kevin o'connory books, Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, reads books, rights books. Listen. I'm from a generation
Speaker 2: that likes to crack open a book every once in
Speaker 2: a while learn some things. There ain't nothing wrong with that. Now,
Speaker 2: while you're watching this on YouTube, I appreciation. However, here's
Speaker 2: here's what I would recommend. You know what, BUTMANI does
Speaker 2: this on his podcast. I might steal it from him
Speaker 2: because Bomani's a friend. What if we did a what's right,
Speaker 2: Book of the Month Club? Oh, you know what, we're
Speaker 2: doing it. We're doing it starting on Thursday shows, starting
Speaker 2: next Thursday. Book of the Month Club, and we can
Speaker 2: keep you updated on it, do a little minor segment
Speaker 2: on it, and you're gonna read it too. That's gonna
Speaker 2: be part of the job. Part of the job for Demansey.
Speaker 2: I already know what the first book's gonna be.
Speaker 3: All I'm excited, but I hope doesn't drop an autobiography.
Speaker 2: Okay, No, they're not gonna be sports books. We're gonna
Speaker 2: be no sports books part of de Monsey. How are
Speaker 2: we starting today's show?
Speaker 4: We're starting with Chiefs Bills. Oh yeah, the Bill's shoveled
Speaker 4: a casey to take on your Chiefs. Underdogs at home,
Speaker 4: underdogs at home. Yep, I mean I kind of understand it.
Speaker 4: They barely snug one out against the Raiders the other day.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Last year the Bills beat them in the Week five matchup,
Speaker 4: but obviously Kansas City won when they.
Speaker 3: Faced them in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I know you're gonna say, Mahomes shouldn't be a home
Speaker 4: fair I mean home underdog or underdog at all. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but given the way the season's kind of panned out.
Speaker 4: You know, the Bills have done a lot of great things,
Speaker 4: and like I said, the Chiefs just played the Raiders
Speaker 4: and barely won. Yeah, but would you be willing to
Speaker 4: put your your money where your mouth is if you're
Speaker 4: gonna say the Mahome shouldn't be a underdog.
Speaker 2: I'm definitely betting the Chiefs. This is not a game.
Speaker 2: Listen what I I want to talk about the game,
Speaker 2: and I want to talk about the ideas surrounding Coulby.
Speaker 2: Could the Bills win? Of course they could win. So
Speaker 2: but do I think there's value on the Chiefs plus
Speaker 2: two and a half? Yeah? I mean Mahomes there is
Speaker 2: his forty second career home game. He's never been an
Speaker 2: underdog prior to this. He's only been an underdog eight
Speaker 2: games in his higher career. Ever, by the way, he's
Speaker 2: won six of those outright, and he's seven zero to
Speaker 2: one against the spread. In the eight games where he's
Speaker 2: an underdog. He was underdog. He was a favorite in
Speaker 2: thirty eight consecutive starts, and he was underdog two weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Now he's underdog again. Okay, So do I think that's
Speaker 2: out of line?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think that's out of line. And by the way,
Speaker 2: I haven't looked at the look ahead lines. But next
Speaker 2: week they're at San Francisco. I wonder if they're gonna
Speaker 2: make him an underdog there. We'll see how this week goes.
Speaker 2: But here is my frustration on this conversation surrounding Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, the Can't See Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2: Everybody loves talking about that Chiefs Bill's playoff game, and
Speaker 2: it was an epic playoff game, there is no doubt
Speaker 2: about that. But they talk about it as if Josh
Speaker 2: Allen outplayed Patrick Mahomes. In fact, I think that is
Speaker 2: the general sentiment that Josh Allen was the best player
Speaker 2: on the field. It is flatly not accurate. In that
Speaker 2: football game, Josh Allen threw for three hundred and thirty yards.
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes threw for three hundred and eighty yards. Oh,
Speaker 2: but Josh Allen on the ground, Josh Allen ran the
Speaker 2: ball eleven times for sixty eight yards and no touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes ran the ball seven times for sixty nine
Speaker 2: yards and one touchdown. So he threw for more yards.
Speaker 2: He ran for more yards in that football game. They
Speaker 2: both had pass the ratings of one to twenty five
Speaker 2: plus and Patrick Mahomes, it in the spot of adversity,
Speaker 2: down three with thirteen seconds left, found a way to
Speaker 2: get a seamen field goal range. This is not a
Speaker 2: situation where Allen was unbelievable, Mahomes was mediocre and they
Speaker 2: won because of a blocked field goal or a kick
Speaker 2: return touchdown. If Allan was an a plus, then Mahomes
Speaker 2: wasn't a plus. So what? And then the other massive
Speaker 2: frustration I have is people are saying this is Brady
Speaker 2: Manning and maybe one day it will be. But the
Speaker 2: virtue of Brady Manning Demonsey, you were too young. But
Speaker 2: Tom Brady won all the championships. Peyton Manning had all
Speaker 2: the stats, so it wasn't until two thousand and six
Speaker 2: that Manning eventually beat Brady in the playoffs for the
Speaker 2: first time. Prior to that game, Peyton Manning had two MVPs,
Speaker 2: Brady had zero. Peyton Manning had six first or second
Speaker 2: team All pros, Brady had zero. Peyton Manning had all
Speaker 2: the regular season numbers, but Brady was two to zero
Speaker 2: against him in the playoffs and had won had been
Speaker 2: to three Super Bowls and won three Super Bowls. Manning
Speaker 2: been to zero Super Bowls. They're like, oh, it's Brady Manning.
Speaker 2: Mahomes is Brady Allen's Manning, except Mahomes is two and
Speaker 2: zero against Allen the playoffs and he's the only one
Speaker 2: with an MVP, he has moral pros, he is, he's
Speaker 2: both of them. Mahomes is the better numbers and the
Speaker 2: playoff resume. Why does Josh Allen get to be Tom
Speaker 2: Brady or Peyton Manner? Josh Allen, if we're being honest,
Speaker 2: if we're comparing him to someone of Tom Brady's era
Speaker 2: early in his career. Is Ben Roethlisberger a really talented, big,
Speaker 2: strong quarterback who up to this moment hasn't won sh
Speaker 2: and a pardon me, sorry forgot we're on YouTube live,
Speaker 2: and is not a and doesn't have the stats that
Speaker 2: Mahomes has. So the Bills have built their entire team
Speaker 2: to beat the Chiefs. They've said they're obsessed about being
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. The addition, so we want to break down
Speaker 2: this actual game. Here is what I'm concerned about. Von
Speaker 2: Miller speed rushing on Orlando Brown concerns me. Now, Vaughn
Speaker 2: likes to line up against the right tackle that Andrew Wiley.
Speaker 2: But Von Miller could wreck this game the chief secondary
Speaker 2: DeVante like could the Bills throw a bunch of bombs
Speaker 2: and get past interference penalties like the Raiders should have
Speaker 2: done more of that concerns me. The Chiefs inability to
Speaker 2: deal with mobile quarterbacks Josh Allen's killed him on quarterback runs.
Speaker 2: That concerns me. The Chiefs number one draft pick Trent
Speaker 2: McDuffie is back this week, off ir. I'm glad he's back.
Speaker 2: First game against Stefan Diggs, Gabe Davis. That's tough. Now
Speaker 2: what is good is Harrison Buker is back this week,
Speaker 2: So finally the Chiefs kicking situation is going to be settled.
Speaker 2: The Bills absolutely could win this game, but I am
Speaker 2: going to but the Bills won this game in the
Speaker 2: regular season last year and then spit up enough regular
Speaker 2: season games that they lost the home field advantage to
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. Here's my final Bills Chiefs take. This is
Speaker 2: a must win game for the Buffalo Bills because they
Speaker 2: absolutely cannot in a year where they went out and
Speaker 2: got von Miller and the Chiefs went out and traded
Speaker 2: away their best receiver, where they have allegedly the number
Speaker 2: one defensive football the Chiefs defense mediocre where Allan is
Speaker 2: playing as well as he's ever played. They cannot squander
Speaker 2: their best opportunity to have if they play in the
Speaker 2: playoffs again, that game be in Buffalo. They have one
Speaker 2: thing that Bills fans that like should hold on to
Speaker 2: is Yeah, Mahomes is two and zero, but both those
Speaker 2: games have been in Arrowhead. Well, if you don't want
Speaker 2: the next one to be an Arrowhead, you've got to win.
Speaker 3: This game, right.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs would like to win this game. They don't
Speaker 2: have to win this game, and so I think they do.
Speaker 2: You think the Chiefs have to win it or they
Speaker 2: do win it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they have to.
Speaker 2: How come?
Speaker 3: I just think if they don't, if they don't win,
Speaker 3: people are gonna be talking. Man.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know people will be talking. I know people
Speaker 2: will be talking.
Speaker 4: I feel like this is going to it's whoever wins
Speaker 4: this game. I feel like it's gonna it's gonna serve
Speaker 4: their ego in the right way.
Speaker 2: So this is why I'm saying it's a must win
Speaker 2: for Buffalo. If the Bills don't win this game, then
Speaker 2: it starts to be a real question, can we beat
Speaker 2: this team? Mahomes would then be four and one against Allen,
Speaker 2: including the two playoff wins. The reason I don't think
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have to win is because this game last year,
Speaker 2: the exact same point of the season, the Bills didn't
Speaker 2: only come to Era and win, They kicked the Chiefs
Speaker 2: ass and the Chiefs struggled for the next few weeks
Speaker 2: and it didn't matter.
Speaker 4: All right, next game, all right, The four to one
Speaker 4: Cowboys are looking to set off.
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, on the poll, sixty one percent
Speaker 2: of the audience thinks the Chiefs are gonna win. With
Speaker 2: that said, our YouTube stream probably skews a little Kansas
Speaker 2: City heavy, but that's fine, But go ahead, right, Uh.
Speaker 4: The four to one Cowboys are looking to face the
Speaker 4: undefeated Eagles. Dak is throwing passes left handed in practice,
Speaker 4: which I guess is kind of hopeful. Mike McCarthy said
Speaker 4: that the Cowboys are preparing Cooper Rush to start. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so the Cowboys hope that Cooper Rush does badly so
Speaker 4: the decisions easier or is just like a Tom Brady
Speaker 4: Drew Bledsoe situation.
Speaker 2: Well, listen, Dak Prescott's obviously the better quarterback, despite the
Speaker 2: fact they're four and zero with Rush, and Rush played
Speaker 2: really poorly this past week and they won despite him.
Speaker 3: Great but that defense.
Speaker 2: Troy Aikman literally twenty minutes ago re live on YouTube
Speaker 2: right now and again comments question stuff. We're gonna get
Speaker 2: to him later in the show if you're in the chat.
Speaker 2: Troy Aikman twenty minutes ago in the radio in Dallas
Speaker 2: said that if Cooper Rush wins, you've got to ask
Speaker 2: the real question, do you stick with I think that's crazy.
Speaker 2: I think it is a crazy idea to stick with
Speaker 2: Cooper Rush when Dak is clearly the better player and
Speaker 2: there is not a single one of these games you
Speaker 2: look at you're like, oh, won that because of Cooper?
Speaker 2: That the competition's been mediocre and the defense has been unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Running game has been really good. Now, should they take
Speaker 2: some things that they've learned from this time with Cooper
Speaker 2: to incorporate with Dak, Meaning, yeah, we know we have
Speaker 2: a forty million dollar quarterback, but we maybe shouldn't call
Speaker 2: an offenses if we do unless we have to because
Speaker 2: the defense is so good. Do I think yes? I
Speaker 2: think that should be the case, but Dak obviously has
Speaker 2: more talent all I don't think the Cowboys want to
Speaker 2: lose this game, but I think because there's so much
Speaker 2: noise surrounding.
Speaker 3: Dallas makes things a lot easier.
Speaker 2: The the is for the long term, like mental health
Speaker 2: of the franchise. It's not only best. What's best is
Speaker 2: win or lose. That Cooper plays a talent, right, I
Speaker 2: guess the ideal, the the thread the needle would be
Speaker 2: somehow the Cowboys win because their defense is so unbelievable,
Speaker 2: but Rush has three turnovers. They er the fact that,
Speaker 2: you know what helped Dak a lot, the fact that
Speaker 2: they won that Rams game, but they did it despite
Speaker 2: Rush only throwing for one hundred yards. I actually think
Speaker 2: the Cowboys this is gonna work out just perfectly for
Speaker 2: them because they got four straight wins with Cooper, but
Speaker 2: he's played worse each week. I think he's gonna be
Speaker 2: bad this week. I think they're gonna lose. Dak then
Speaker 2: takes takes over and they have the Lions and the Bears,
Speaker 2: and Dak's gonna hit the ground running. And the question is,
Speaker 2: because what you don't want is for Dak to take
Speaker 2: back over with Cooper having never had a terrible game
Speaker 2: that they lost, and so right, and so I think
Speaker 2: that this week Cooper's gonna have the bad game. I
Speaker 2: think the Eagles are gonna win. I think Dak gets
Speaker 2: the job back.
Speaker 3: All right? Next?
Speaker 4: All right, so we have another poll, sorry forget to
Speaker 4: be the starting quarterback for the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: It's almost split Dak and Cooper fifty five to forty
Speaker 2: five Dack. That's kind of what I'm saying. The fans
Speaker 2: in the media love quarterback wins. That's why they love
Speaker 2: Jimmy g.
Speaker 4: I feel like they should get split custody of the
Speaker 4: team that never works once that comes back, they just
Speaker 4: one plays the first half.
Speaker 2: That never they teams have tried stuff like that that
Speaker 2: never ever works.
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: Next, Oh, Jymon Green was not suspended for punching Jordan
Speaker 4: Poole in the face. Steve Kerr said that this is
Speaker 4: the biggest crisis that we've had since I've been the
Speaker 4: coach here. Curs said, it's really serious stuff and our
Speaker 4: culture has been damaged. You said on TV, you don't
Speaker 4: think that Draymond will finish with the Warriors is yet,
Speaker 4: But why would anybody trade for Draymond the basketball player
Speaker 4: and Draymond on the teammate.
Speaker 2: Well, so this is complicated. So I don't think Draymond's
Speaker 2: gonna finish the year with the Warriors. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: they're gonna trade him. I know that's a somewhat controversial take,
Speaker 2: but you got to keep in mind that Draymond gave
Speaker 2: them an out because they don't want to give him
Speaker 2: a long term extension. And after this year he is
Speaker 2: a player option. He could opt out be a free agent,
Speaker 2: want the long term extension, right. I also think that
Speaker 2: you know they have to pay Wiggins. They're definitely paying Pool.
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna pay Draymond as well. And
Speaker 2: so now Draymond, with his behavior, gave him a reason
Speaker 2: for it, right, So why would someone trade for him?
Speaker 2: So there's two types of trades involving Draymond Green that
Speaker 2: I think could be interesting. One is a team that
Speaker 2: is trading for the guys you would include along with Draymond,
Speaker 2: So Draymond plus the young guys being to pardon me
Speaker 2: and Moody for a star player. So if a team
Speaker 2: star asks out and what they want is young, you know, prospects.
Speaker 2: The Warriors have that, but you would have to include Draymond.
Speaker 2: So the salaries match. You follow me like this is
Speaker 2: a this trade's not gonna happen. I'm just making total
Speaker 2: you know, this is not my proposed trade. But like
Speaker 2: let's say Zach Levine's like I want out of here
Speaker 2: and the words like ah, that'd be interesting. Levine, along
Speaker 2: with Clay and will play Wiseman Center.
Speaker 3: In order.
Speaker 2: You can't just trade Kaminga and Moody for Levine. The
Speaker 2: salaries aren't they don't bake enough. You're throwing Draymond now
Speaker 2: the salaries were So there's one type of trade, the
Speaker 2: word war. Here's another one team that needs to learn
Speaker 2: how to win. So let's say, as a for instance,
Speaker 2: Zion and Brandon Ingram don't work as a one two,
Speaker 2: and I'm skeptical of it. I Repelicans could be really good,
Speaker 2: but I don't think their defense is gonna be that
Speaker 2: good despite herb Jones and Alvarado, and I don't know
Speaker 2: that Ingram thinks he should be the number two to Zion.
Speaker 2: So for the Pelicans team like that, that's gonna that
Speaker 2: doesn't have anybody on the team with respect to CJ
Speaker 2: that knows how to win at a high level. Need
Speaker 2: a glue guy, I need some defense. Could ingram for Draymond,
Speaker 2: Kaminga and Moody. It's a conversation. The other type of
Speaker 2: trade is a three teamer. So the three teamer is
Speaker 2: as a for instance, the one involving the Lakers, because
Speaker 2: the Lakers, Draymond's a clutch guy. Draymond could play the
Speaker 2: front line alongside Anthony Davis.
Speaker 3: Everybody thinks that Draymond wants to go to the Lakers, and.
Speaker 2: There is a lot of smoke there. So the Warriors
Speaker 2: obviously would not be taking Russ. But the way it
Speaker 2: would work is Russ goes to for instance, let's use
Speaker 2: the team everybody's talking about the Pacers, Miles Turner and
Speaker 2: Buddy Healed. I don't know that the Warriors would want them,
Speaker 2: but again they go to the Warriors. Draymond comes down
Speaker 2: to the Lakers and the Warriors kicking in draft picks
Speaker 2: to Indian the Pacers. You know, the Lakers kicking a
Speaker 2: draft pick and the Warriors kicking a draft pick. So
Speaker 2: the Pacers get the two picks for taking on Russ.
Speaker 2: Draymond goes to the Lakers and the Warriors get a
Speaker 2: couple of rotations. Those so those are the different trades
Speaker 2: that could work now as and again those are off
Speaker 2: the top of my head. My point is some star
Speaker 2: is going to become available, and because of Big Vic,
Speaker 2: because of Victor Winn Binyama, there are going to be
Speaker 2: more teams this year that are mediocre that then just
Speaker 2: decide we want to tear this whole thing down and
Speaker 2: try to tank for a draft pick than ever before
Speaker 2: because of the thirst for Victor. So I think there's
Speaker 2: gonna be more guys available all right now. On the
Speaker 2: the I think the Warriors botched this. You can't call
Speaker 2: it the biggest crisis of your career and then not.
Speaker 2: And he got suspended one game yelling at Durant and
Speaker 2: hurting Durant's feelings. He cold cocked Jordan Poole. I don't
Speaker 2: know how Pool's gonna deal with it.
Speaker 4: You can tell that pools a little off. No, I
Speaker 4: saw it when they played the Lakers.
Speaker 3: He was like, very like. You can tell that he was.
Speaker 2: Just like, It's a jarring moment. And so much of
Speaker 2: Draymond's value comes from being leader adult all that stuff.
Speaker 2: He's lost all authority there. Yeah, he's lost so I
Speaker 2: just I don't think it's tenable long term for the Lake,
Speaker 2: for the Warriors. All right, last one, there's our time,
Speaker 2: but we're gonna be quick on this one so we
Speaker 2: can get to your guys stuff soon.
Speaker 4: Next, you know that former rich quarterback was caught stealing
Speaker 4: from the poor alle Yeah, yep, he's denying everything completely. Now,
Speaker 4: Brett farm says that he's been unjustly smeared in the
Speaker 4: media and said that he never knew where the money
Speaker 4: was going to or coming from.
Speaker 3: Sorry, you got his feet to the fire throughout this process.
Speaker 3: Do you buy this?
Speaker 2: Of course not. I mean we've seen the text messages.
Speaker 2: Text messages are are as crystal clear guilt as anything
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. I'm not buying it. Also, while at
Speaker 2: one point I thought the media was not covering this enough,
Speaker 2: the media has done a much better job of it.
Speaker 2: And I have now that I saw with respect. RG
Speaker 2: three tweet out, Uh, yeah, what Davante Adams and Draymond
Speaker 2: Green did was bad. But let's not forget that Brett
Speaker 2: favres soul from the poor guys. We can do multiple things, okay,
Speaker 2: Like we have the ability to hold multiple thoughts in
Speaker 2: our head at the same time, and I I what
Speaker 2: Brett Farv did, what I believe he did, was awful,
Speaker 2: and I believe he's going to end up in legal trouble.
Speaker 2: Just that does not give every other athlete as for
Speaker 2: other bad actions. But that is the that's like that
Speaker 2: to tweet written by a Twitter algorithm. It's like all
Speaker 2: this will get engagement. You'll be like preach, pre shut off,
Speaker 2: like stupid that we can we can talk about all
Speaker 2: of these things simultaneously.
Speaker 3: Kiss barbs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Farve's denial was so audacious, like I've
Speaker 2: done nothing wrong when we have seen the text messages.
Speaker 3: Go ahead way, So I want to ask you a question,
Speaker 3: how long is it? When when did word get out there?
Speaker 4: Brett Farr was denying this because like I just feel
Speaker 4: like I'm just down here.
Speaker 2: Ago.
Speaker 3: Okay, so three days ago.
Speaker 4: These allegations came what like two or three weeks ago,
Speaker 4: months ago.
Speaker 3: So him and his team like strategized like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, and by the way, it's that it's not
Speaker 2: a the flat shaggy it wasn't me defense is not
Speaker 2: a terrible strategy. But anybody that's been paying attention to
Speaker 2: this that the text messages are like the smoking gun here.
Speaker 2: So it's it's it's an audacious defense, but I don't
Speaker 2: buy it at all. All right, Uh, here's what we're
Speaker 2: gonna do again. Keep the questions coming to the sea block.
Speaker 2: We have a new game coming up after a very
Speaker 2: short break, and I'm going to rant about the most
Speaker 2: frustrating part about watching NFL football in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: That's all next about a sixty second break. We'll be
Speaker 2: right back live on YouTube, and if you're listening on
Speaker 2: a podcast, we appreciate that as well.

Speaker 2: Welcome back in What's Right? Nick Right? Live on YouTube,
Speaker 2: and in fact, since we are live on YouTube, my apologies,
Speaker 2: I am going to tweet out the link one quick
Speaker 2: right now, still going live on YouTube, so that way
Speaker 2: more people can join us because we're gonna answer your
Speaker 2: questions in the chat at the end of the show.
Speaker 2: We also have h on what's the right show? Sorry
Speaker 2: about this, I should have done this starting our commercial break. Uh,
Speaker 2: there we go, there's the link for that. Uh sent
Speaker 2: out that the We're gonna answer questions in the chat
Speaker 2: and we've got a new game coming. But first I'll
Speaker 2: look at that photoshop. Look demonse, Yeah I saw it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do read books. Stop see you calm down over
Speaker 2: there dropping stuff.
Speaker 4: I got just fidgeted with this phone for the first
Speaker 4: thirty seconds of.
Speaker 2: Those I wasn't fidgeting, I was I was trying to
Speaker 2: increase I was trying to amplify our reach. I didn't
Speaker 2: drop my phone, by the way. Uh okay, I want
Speaker 2: to talk about something quickly before we get to our
Speaker 2: new game. So like eight years ago, five years or
Speaker 2: something like that, the NFL broadcast decided. Man, there's so
Speaker 2: much controversy surrounding replay reviews. What is a catch? What
Speaker 2: isn't a catch. Let's have on standby for all these
Speaker 2: games a ref, a retired ref, so he can come
Speaker 2: in and be like, hey, this is a foul, this
Speaker 2: isn't a foul. He's not gonna be a part of
Speaker 2: the broadcast play in play out, but when we need
Speaker 2: an expert, let's go to ONEm. I am calling on
Speaker 2: NFL broadcasts to do the same thing for quote analytics unquote,
Speaker 2: because it is so maddening listening to every decision a
Speaker 2: coach makes that the broadcast crew disagrees with. There's like, oh,
Speaker 2: some nerd with a calculator told him to do it.
Speaker 2: It's the all analytics. So I'm watching Monday night football
Speaker 2: Chiefs Raiders. The Raiders go for two to go up one,
Speaker 2: and Joe and Troy, who were great, they're like analytics.
Speaker 2: That was not analytics. The analytical models were actually very
Speaker 2: split on if that was even a good or a
Speaker 2: bad decision. That was Josh McDaniel Flatley saying, I think
Speaker 2: we can get too and I don't think they trust
Speaker 2: their kicker. I want to try and take the lead.
Speaker 2: That's what it was. But here's my real frustration. First
Speaker 2: of all, there's so many things here, so give me
Speaker 2: a few minutes. First of all, analytics is simply making
Speaker 2: It needs a rebranding. It is making a decision based
Speaker 2: on historical and contemporaneous evidence on what will lead to
Speaker 2: the best result. That's all it is. We all use
Speaker 2: analytics all day long, whether we recognize it or not.
Speaker 2: It's just calculated in our own head. It's like, well,
Speaker 2: I'm running late, will I get there? Should I speed?
Speaker 2: Am I more or less likely to get their earlier?
Speaker 2: If I speed? Well? How often is there a cop here?
Speaker 2: How often do I get pulled over? That is? That
Speaker 2: is that decision tree is the same thing as analytics.
Speaker 2: If and so, there are certain NFL decisions that never
Speaker 2: happened in the past that now sometimes do happen that
Speaker 2: are purely analytics. Let me give you an example. A
Speaker 2: team is down fourteen points and scores a touchdown. All
Speaker 2: the analytical models agree in that spot you should go
Speaker 2: for two. The reason you should do that that is
Speaker 2: a pure analytical you know, red line down fourteen late,
Speaker 2: score a touchdown? Why do you go for two? Well,
Speaker 2: if you get it now, a touchdown and an extra
Speaker 2: point win you the game. If you don't get it,
Speaker 2: you then have another opportunity to go for two. You
Speaker 2: have to fail on two two point conversions for it
Speaker 2: to hurt you. That is a clear Let me give
Speaker 2: you another example of a clear analytical redline, no doubt
Speaker 2: about it. If you are and this is one a
Speaker 2: lot of teams don't do, but I argue, I would
Speaker 2: argue they should. If you are down fifteen points and
Speaker 2: you need two touchdowns, one of them with a two
Speaker 2: point conversion, right should and you score a touchdown, you
Speaker 2: should go for two on the first touchdown. People are like, well,
Speaker 2: but then if you don't get it, you're down two scores.
Speaker 2: The reason that is another analytical red line is you
Speaker 2: want to know as early as possible if you are
Speaker 2: or are not converting the two point conversion that way.
Speaker 2: If you go, if you down fifteen, score touchdown, kick
Speaker 2: the X point down eight, and then get the ball
Speaker 2: back down eight, go score another touchdown, fail the two
Speaker 2: point conversion. With ten seconds left, you're like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: I've lost games over. If you are down fifteen, score
Speaker 2: touchdown and go for two and don't get it with
Speaker 2: four minutes left, now you know, oh, down two scores.
Speaker 2: We didn't get it. Now we are inn on side
Speaker 2: kick situation. Those are analytical, pure analytics. A lot of
Speaker 2: this other stuff that the announcers are blaming on analytics
Speaker 2: is judgment calls in the finest of margins. And the
Speaker 2: most frustrating part for me is we only play the
Speaker 2: result on bad or not even bad on analytical decisions
Speaker 2: that failed. So, for instance, what is the biggest surprise
Speaker 2: in the NFL this year? I would argue it's the Giants,
Speaker 2: you know what, set their tone of their entire season.
Speaker 2: Going for two with forty five seconds left in Game one,
Speaker 2: down one against the Titans and Saquon got in set
Speaker 2: the tone for their whole season. That would never have
Speaker 2: happened a decade ago. It would have been thought of
Speaker 2: as insane yea, and nobody's like, oh, analytics wright to
Speaker 2: help the Giants there. The Raider game, people are killing
Speaker 2: Josh McDaniels for going for two to take the lead,
Speaker 2: which again most of the analytical models actually disagreed with
Speaker 2: because there was so much timeline. What nobody acknowledged was
Speaker 2: on the first possession of the game in their own
Speaker 2: territory and fourth and one, they went for it. That
Speaker 2: is a pure analytical decision. They scored a touchdown. Everyone
Speaker 2: kills John Harbaugh for last year for his goal line
Speaker 2: and two point conversion decisions, failing to acknowledge that last
Speaker 2: year early in the year against the Chiefs, he went
Speaker 2: for a fourth down it won them the game. The
Speaker 2: Chargers two weeks ago or last week, they went for
Speaker 2: a fourth and short near midfield with the lead. Seemed
Speaker 2: even by my standards, very aggressive. They ended up winning. Anyway,
Speaker 2: People kill the coach there Staley totally ignoring the week
Speaker 2: before exact same situation. Up up against the Texans late
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, they went for a fourth down
Speaker 2: in their own territory and got it and then ended
Speaker 2: up winning the game because of it. Nobody ever talks
Speaker 2: about these decisions when they work. It is maddening. And
Speaker 2: nobody ever kills a coach for going against analytics, going
Speaker 2: with the old school way when they lose, because you know,
Speaker 2: one of the major mistakes the Raiders made something that
Speaker 2: went totally in the face of analytics. Up fourteen to
Speaker 2: nothing on Kansas City, they had a fourth and one
Speaker 2: at the thirty five, the Chiefs thirty five, and they
Speaker 2: kicked the field goal. All the analytical models screamed go,
Speaker 2: go go. They didn't. They got a field goal. A
Speaker 2: lot of good that did them. We never so old
Speaker 2: school football. What coaches and the media are is complicit
Speaker 2: in this. They coached to delay losing as opposed to
Speaker 2: trying to win the game outright. The Chiefs made a
Speaker 2: grievous analytical error in that Raider game. They had fourth
Speaker 2: and two right outside of the two minute warning around midfield.
Speaker 2: If they get a first down, they win the game.
Speaker 2: They punted away up one, and you know what happened.
Speaker 2: The Raiders sliced down the field and if DeVante Adams
Speaker 2: doesn't bobble that football, they're in field goal range. No,
Speaker 2: the Raiders bobbled it on the sideline and they're the
Speaker 2: That was a mistake by the Chiefs. They got away
Speaker 2: with the Ravens. Last week against the Bengals, they'll give
Speaker 2: you another example. Everyone killed Hardball for not kicking the
Speaker 2: field goal against the Bills, blamed analytics. So this weekend
Speaker 2: against the Bengals, up three, he went against the analytics
Speaker 2: and kicked the field goal. Trusted his defense. You know
Speaker 2: what the Bengals did, drove a right eight down the field,
Speaker 2: score a touchdown to go up one. Now, the Ravens
Speaker 2: ended up getting away with it because they had a
Speaker 2: great final two minute drive. But it's just it is
Speaker 2: so maddening that we are NFL fans and even the
Speaker 2: language of it is biased. Take the points. Why don't
Speaker 2: you take the points?
Speaker 3: Guys?
Speaker 2: When teams don't kick field goals, it's not because they
Speaker 2: don't like points. It's because they want more of it.
Speaker 2: They're trying to take more points. So that's my little
Speaker 2: rant one day, mark it down the folks that kill
Speaker 2: every area and that's the one last point. You would
Speaker 2: think it'd be more popular because it's the obvious, more
Speaker 2: aggressive way to play, going for it, leaving your offense
Speaker 2: on the field, but fans have been tricked and the
Speaker 2: thinking it's dumb. The folks that are out here being
Speaker 2: anti analytics are going to sound like the NBA commentators
Speaker 2: of a decade ago saying jump shooting teams don't win championships.
Speaker 2: They're gonna look like Caveman. What are you amazed by
Speaker 2: how long this has gone?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I'm amazed at the plot right now? Yeah?
Speaker 2: All right, well let's get to our game. I told
Speaker 2: you this is gonna be a good analytics train. So
Speaker 2: how does this game work, what does it?
Speaker 3: What happens? It's called right ends pretty straightforward. I will
Speaker 3: make a statement at this stupid kick. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 3: love it. I don't love it to stricken my head
Speaker 3: just a little bit.
Speaker 4: Okay, I will make a statement and then we will
Speaker 4: fill in the blanks with our answers. Our live viewers
Speaker 4: can also respond in the chat, and we'll read some
Speaker 4: of the best answers. Okay, our first one we've got.
Speaker 4: After losing to the Jeams, Davante Adams pushed a cameraman
Speaker 4: over who got in his way. DeVante Adams punishment should
Speaker 4: be okay, so.
Speaker 2: Writing these down, yes, all right, I'm going to all right,
Speaker 2: so I'm going to say, oh geez, what can you
Speaker 2: not write?
Speaker 3: Buddy?
Speaker 2: This is what I'm writing. Suspension with an asterisk. Okay,
Speaker 2: the reason I say, and ask here's why I say suspension,
Speaker 2: but with an asterisk. I do not believe you should
Speaker 2: be suspended. However, I believe that what he did is
Speaker 2: far worse than what Mike Evans did. Mike Evans pushed
Speaker 2: another player, and Mike the NFL suspended Mike Evans, and
Speaker 2: so because of that, I think they have set the
Speaker 2: precedent that you the If the punishment for shoving Marshawn
Speaker 2: Lattimore is a game, the punishment for shoving a civilian
Speaker 2: has to be a game. I also am really annoyed
Speaker 2: by the members of the media that are blaming this
Speaker 2: camera guy. Now, they're like, oh, you should have looked
Speaker 2: where he was going. Oh, he was in DeVante adams workspace.
Speaker 2: That's that guy's workspace. Now. Do I think the camera
Speaker 2: guy filing a police report is part of a pending lawsuit? Yes?
Speaker 2: Do I think it's a bit of a money grab. Yes.
Speaker 2: Do I think what DeVante Adams did rises to the
Speaker 2: level of criminality, No, I don't, even though I mean
Speaker 2: it's it's technically simple assault caught on tape, So yeah,
Speaker 2: he's probably gonna have to plead to something if the
Speaker 2: guy continues to press charges. But all these folks are like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, can you believe this guy is going forward? Folks,
Speaker 2: if you're just at work and something happens to neither
Speaker 2: of your markers work, okay, if you're just at work
Speaker 2: and you'll walk by somewhere and it's like, hey, if
Speaker 2: you pick that up, if you pick that bag up,
Speaker 2: Pete strangers on the internet will make fun of you,
Speaker 2: but you get to keep the fifty thousand dollars inside.
Speaker 2: I think most people would be picking it up. It's
Speaker 2: free money for him. He's gonna get some money. I
Speaker 2: don't begrutin.
Speaker 3: Like man.
Speaker 4: You know, Okay, well, I can either go forward with
Speaker 4: this or you can just give me some money.
Speaker 2: Which, yeah, but the if you got to quickly file
Speaker 2: the police report, it helps you a lot. I think
Speaker 2: you'll end up dropping the charges again. It if Mike
Speaker 2: Evans hadn't been suspended, I would say the punishment should
Speaker 2: just be a fine. But he was suspended, so I
Speaker 2: think he should be suspended. All right, what's the next one?
Speaker 2: The lext?
Speaker 3: What we got?
Speaker 4: The Chiefs were saved Monday night when the Raiders went
Speaker 4: for two instead of kicking the game tying extra point.
Speaker 4: The coaching decisions this year have been horrific. The NFL
Speaker 4: head coach most likely to hit on a twenty in
Speaker 4: blackjack k is okay?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: Are you having a straight a stroke? Are you okay?
Speaker 2: Demonte's got to go?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I mean, Demonte just got up, So I'm gonna surprise
Speaker 2: people with my answer here.
Speaker 3: Oh, gosh.
Speaker 2: Okay, Demonse is a little under the weather. He's also
Speaker 2: having trouble with his whiteboard that he also, by the way,
Speaker 2: left at home, and I had to go back and
Speaker 2: get are you gonna sit back down? What are you doing?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think everyone, what do you think? My
Speaker 2: answer to this is gonna be the coach that Daniel Hackett.
Speaker 2: That is not my even the Daniel Hackett knows not.
Speaker 3: They don't Andy Reid Jack.
Speaker 2: No, here's my answer. My answer is Kingsbury. And you
Speaker 2: might be like, Nick, why, I know you don't like Cliff.
Speaker 2: My answer is Kingsbury because nobody would hit on twenty
Speaker 2: in Blackjack.
Speaker 3: Ever.
Speaker 2: In fact, the casino will actually try to stop you
Speaker 2: from doing It'll be like are you sure? So why
Speaker 2: would Kingsbury do it? Because I think Kingsbury's flirting with
Speaker 2: the cocktail waitress and not paying attention. It's like hit me.
Speaker 2: He's like no, they're like sir, He's like hit me.
Speaker 2: So yeah, the if it were the coach most likely
Speaker 2: to stay on sixteen against a ten, that would be Hacket,
Speaker 2: but hit on a twenty, it's Kingsbury because I think
Speaker 2: he's distracted. You're out of the whiteboard game. By the way,
Speaker 2: you're not writing anything. Your marker's not working. You're out.
Speaker 2: You just asked me, and all I answer the questions?
Speaker 2: What's next?
Speaker 3: All right? New York sports are thriving.
Speaker 4: The Jets, the Giants are somehow over five hundred for
Speaker 4: the first time since twenty fifteen. The Nicks and Nets
Speaker 4: tip off this week. The best New York team after
Speaker 4: baseball season will.
Speaker 2: Be, Oh, that's easy. The team that I have seasoned
Speaker 2: tickets for the best New York team once the Yankees
Speaker 2: are done is going to be the Nets that the
Speaker 2: and so okay, can I just all right, everybody real quick?
Speaker 2: Before I even give my answer, Demonse holds yours up
Speaker 2: again because I so, Demonse, hold it up to the camera.
Speaker 2: You do, fist, hold it up to the camera. Okay,
Speaker 2: that there you go. See how it says? Bills? Okay,
Speaker 2: the Bills are not a New York team.
Speaker 3: You mean they're not a New York team.
Speaker 2: They are talking New York City, which is why they
Speaker 2: said the Jets and the Giants and the question they're
Speaker 2: on New York City teams. They're not talking about the
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills in upstate New York I told you you're
Speaker 2: out of the game, and instead you wrote bills twice
Speaker 2: in terrible handwriting because small. Yeah, it's all the first
Speaker 2: time you're out. You can regroup next week. Just ask
Speaker 2: the questions. My answer is the Nets. I don't think
Speaker 2: the Nets can win the title, and I don't think
Speaker 2: they'll be great in the playoffs, but they'll be quite
Speaker 2: good in the regular season. I don't think. Listen, the
Speaker 2: Giants and Jets are good stories, but between the two
Speaker 2: of them, they're gonna win zero combined playoff games. The
Speaker 2: Knicks are not gonna be very good. Best player on
Speaker 2: that team can't be Jail and Brunson. The answer is
Speaker 2: obviously the Nets. It's no question the Nets. Do you know,
Speaker 2: by the way, next Wednesday, you're going by the way?
Speaker 2: You you me, your mom and one of your sisters,
Speaker 2: next third, next a week from or not a week
Speaker 2: from Wednesday? Wednesday? Nets Pelicans to open the season.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's great, answers the Nets.
Speaker 2: All right, Oh Joe Schmoe by the way. And the
Speaker 2: chant says the Nets, and Cameron says, fly Jets Fly.
Speaker 2: Let me say one thing about the Jets. Zach Wilson's
Speaker 2: look good. In his two games back, and that is
Speaker 2: the only thing that matters for the Jets is that
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson progresses and he looks good.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: Next, you're not a big baseball fan, but you've been
Speaker 4: watching the playoffs a bit.
Speaker 3: You will watch what percentage of that will be playoffs?
Speaker 2: Oh well, I mean starting next round? Where? Well, really,
Speaker 2: in this round when the games aren't on during the day,
Speaker 2: eighty five percent. Let me say this about playoff baseball.
Speaker 2: Playoff baseball, it's like a different sport than regular season baseball.
Speaker 2: Regular season baseball, I have almost I have close to
Speaker 2: zero interesting. Playoff baseball is exhilary, the way every pitch matters,
Speaker 2: the way everything matters. I'm totally into it. And I
Speaker 2: like the new format. I like the expanded I didn't
Speaker 2: think I would, but the best of three in the
Speaker 2: wild card round, now the division round, Padre's Dodgers been
Speaker 2: unbelievable series. I'm totally in on the playoff baseball, So
Speaker 2: I'll watch eighty five percent.
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: Last one?
Speaker 4: Wait, hold on, I know it says something about Roger
Speaker 4: Goodell here, but we're not doing We're not doing that yet.
Speaker 3: So Adrick, no, because I'm on the updated document.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's it's it's not okay. So do you have
Speaker 2: the Lakers question? This has not been your best performance.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you no, no, no, man, you don't okay,
Speaker 2: I'll read the question. Demonze, take a lap. Demonte's in
Speaker 2: the penalty box. During the Lakers Wolves preseason game, Patrick
Speaker 2: Beverly called a huddle on the court. Lebron A d
Speaker 2: and Lonnie Walker joined him. Russell Westbrook refused to join.
Speaker 2: Your relationship advice for Russ and Pat Bev is my
Speaker 2: relationship advice. You're not on the updated document. Stop looking
Speaker 2: so confused. It's not your fault. The internet went out
Speaker 2: for a moment. I already had mine updated. Don't worry
Speaker 2: about it, Pal, I got you my Here's my advice
Speaker 2: for Russ and Patrick Beverly, and it's what I think
Speaker 2: Russ expected to happen.
Speaker 3: Divorce.
Speaker 2: There is no saving this. And the idea Russ is
Speaker 2: clearly and obviously coming to the realization like I am,
Speaker 2: that he's going to start the season on this team.
Speaker 2: He didn't want to start the season on this team.
Speaker 2: He was trying to play good soldier. And what was
Speaker 2: planning on starting the season on this team and this
Speaker 2: and Patrick Beverly. Listen, Russ, I've got your back. Patrick
Speaker 2: Beverly has no business trying to tell Lebron James, Anthony Davis,
Speaker 2: and Russell Westbrook Win to huddle up. Patrick Beverly is
Speaker 2: the height of irritation. Whether he's not one of those
Speaker 2: guys like, oh, you hate him when he's on your team,
Speaker 2: but you love him when he or you hate him
Speaker 2: when he's on the other team love when he's on
Speaker 2: your team. No, Yeah, he's irritating for all people involved
Speaker 2: in all circumstances. Unfortunately, the Lakers traded for him, so
Speaker 2: he's gonna be around. I do not think Russ makes
Speaker 2: it to New Year's Day with the Lakers. I think
Speaker 2: Russ's on his way out. They just haven't found the
Speaker 2: trade that works best. Okay, I gotta be honest. This
Speaker 2: game didn't go exactly how we hoped. Demondy's market didn't work.
Speaker 2: Demonsey's computer then crashed. He's a little onto the weather.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna you know what, I take ownership of this.
Speaker 2: This was my fault here. I should have saw this
Speaker 2: coming down the pike. Demonsey's still curious about what's going
Speaker 2: on with the computer, just going with the computer. Don't
Speaker 2: worry about it. We got it all to the handle.
Speaker 2: We're still live on YouTube. Podcast, still rolling. We answer
Speaker 2: your questions. Next quick break, What's right? All Right? Welcome
Speaker 2: back in episode eighty one. What's Right? Nick Right Live
Speaker 2: on YouTube. Also if you're just listening to us, you
Speaker 2: can download on Spotify on Apple iTunes. But he don't
Speaker 2: worry about it. Don't get tilted. You see what you
Speaker 2: see him listen, we're live. Oh guys, I told him
Speaker 2: not to worry about it. Now we're doing a new
Speaker 2: drawing of blank. Monse's performance. Day has been outstanding. He's
Speaker 2: under the weather. He could have called in sick. You
Speaker 2: could have left the screwed. His computer went down for
Speaker 2: a moment and his whiteboard didn't work. I'm not worried
Speaker 2: about it. You're doing a great job.
Speaker 3: Wait, I'm actually not. You're a tilted by it.
Speaker 2: We should be a little tilted, should be a little bothered.
Speaker 3: It's not my fault.
Speaker 5: Is that well?
Speaker 2: You know, I kind of gave you an out there
Speaker 2: saying it wasn't your fault. I'm not sure whose fault
Speaker 2: it was. Doesn't matter. We are now reading questions from
Speaker 2: the fans. Demonse, what are the questions?
Speaker 4: Well, this putting in the question. But Nathan said he
Speaker 4: had to turn this off for you to book.
Speaker 2: Oh good for him, you know what? Nathan the good
Speaker 2: thing about being on YouTube. In the podcast We're on
Speaker 2: demand wherever you want. Did a nice couple chapters in Nate,
Speaker 2: you'll feel better about yourself.
Speaker 4: Next, Gave Goodwin says, what's right with Nick?
Speaker 3: Right? Come for the book clubs, stay for the analytic analysis,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 2: Gabe Goodwin is another one of our executive producers. As
Speaker 2: I mentioned the EPs earlier, Gabe runs Blue Duck Media
Speaker 2: does a great job. I would love to know is
Speaker 2: Gabe Gabe at Oh Gabe's there? Can you guys put
Speaker 2: in there? What's the last book Gabe read? Start to finish?
Speaker 2: Cause I this is there's a chance that Gabe, because
Speaker 2: Gabe is like a low key, real smart guy, there's
Speaker 2: a chance that Gabe was like, oh yeah, I read
Speaker 2: a book really recently about you know, the French Revolution.
Speaker 2: I would believe that. I would also believe that he
Speaker 2: has not read a complete book in six years. Like
Speaker 2: I think the realm, the range of possibilities there are endless.
Speaker 2: This is not a book guy too busy making podcast.
Speaker 2: Oh look at them? Look okay, so we can put
Speaker 2: that in the chat, all right, to Monjay, what's next?
Speaker 3: Next? We have Matthew.
Speaker 4: He's asking what's the best bet you've ever won? Poker
Speaker 4: or sports gambling. I want to know about your favorite
Speaker 4: win ever. Love this show, have a great day, team,
Speaker 4: Thanks dude.
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's very nice of you. I mean, poker
Speaker 2: wouldn't be like a bet like I've won. I think
Speaker 2: the biggest single poker hand I've ever won, the pot
Speaker 2: was probably, I don't know, sixteen thousand dollars, So that's
Speaker 2: probably the biggest poker hand I've won. My best poker
Speaker 2: night ever would be that it was on TV the
Speaker 2: time that I won that ten thousand dollars Sit and
Speaker 2: Go with Helmut and to Grandou and Mario Jo and others,
Speaker 2: and that I mean that one I won. It was
Speaker 2: ten thousand to enter and it was fifty thousand, fifty year,
Speaker 2: sixty thousand first prize. It was sixty thousand first prize,
Speaker 2: so I won fifty thousand there. So that was So
Speaker 2: that's my best poker night ever. But that's kind of
Speaker 2: a unique situation. That's a one off. The best bet
Speaker 2: I've ever won.
Speaker 3: Would be.
Speaker 2: The oh I won I won a lot when the
Speaker 2: Lakers won the title on a Lakers future. That was
Speaker 2: a really good one.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 2: The best the best bet I ever won, without question
Speaker 2: was when the Clippers were up three to one on
Speaker 2: the Nuggets. I bet the Nuggets live to win the
Speaker 2: series at like eighty while they were trailing in Game five,
Speaker 2: with a butt with in this kind of gambling group
Speaker 2: I'm in, I got the Nuggets to win the series
Speaker 2: at like seventy eight to one because they were down
Speaker 2: three to one in the series and they were down
Speaker 2: like fifteen in the second half, and they ended up
Speaker 2: coming all the way back. So that one, I mean,
Speaker 2: that one was crazy. I also won a ton of
Speaker 2: money in this same gambling group betting on the last
Speaker 2: presidential election after Biden had been announced the winner. Because
Speaker 2: a lot of these guys I'm in this group with
Speaker 2: are just just I mean, I think half of them
Speaker 2: were at the Capitol in January sixth and they were
Speaker 2: convinced that the election was gonna get overturned, and they
Speaker 2: kept betting. They bet on Trump to win States that
Speaker 2: had already been called ye and so that was that
Speaker 2: was the biggest That was way more. I mean that
Speaker 2: the election thing was just consistent. I mean it was
Speaker 2: just people giving money away, and if I mean totally honest,
Speaker 2: it kind of felt like they were getting free rolled
Speaker 2: because if I lost, it would mean that, you know,
Speaker 2: our government fell in a coup, in which case I
Speaker 2: think all bets are all. I think that's where they
Speaker 2: got the phrase all bets are off. It's like, well,
Speaker 2: if your country's in the midst of a you know,
Speaker 2: the government's been overthrown, I'm not sure how and when
Speaker 2: we're paying these bets off all? Right?
Speaker 4: Next uh, Dylan asked if the Chiefs went in bankrupt
Speaker 4: and had to shut shut operations down tomorrow, what NFL
Speaker 4: team would you root for.
Speaker 2: It's a really interesting question. So I think the answers
Speaker 2: the Jets. Oh well, because I do believe in Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't want to like bandwagon a team that
Speaker 2: is already really good. Yea, the Ravens be fun, but
Speaker 2: it would feel a little bandwagoning. It couldn't be any
Speaker 2: AFC West teams. I obviously wouldn't be the if let me,
Speaker 2: I got that's a hell of a question, like who's
Speaker 2: my favorite team? Another way to put that is, uh,
Speaker 2: what's my favorite team other than the Chiefs? So I
Speaker 2: like Trevor Lawrence, so that one's interesting. There'd be no
Speaker 2: AFC East team. I like Tomlin. But no, I didn't know.
Speaker 2: Houston's not the answer. Uh so the Jags or if
Speaker 2: they got rid of Jimmy Garoppolo San Francisco. San Francisco
Speaker 2: would feel a little bandwagon.
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, it seems like you love Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: I do like Cincinnati. Cincinnati beat it, but that feels
Speaker 2: a little bandwagony too. They just went to the super Bowl.
Speaker 2: You know what? My answer to the my answers to
Speaker 2: the Jags. All right, what's the next question? From the chat?
Speaker 3: Pepa asked what is the Premier League team? Team you
Speaker 3: rout for?
Speaker 2: Liverpool? Because, uh, my buddy Maverick owns a piece of it,
Speaker 2: So the lebron and Maverick bought a piece of Liverpool.
Speaker 2: And I like Premier League soccer. I like European soccer
Speaker 2: most notably or international soccer. So I'm so excited for
Speaker 2: the World Cup. But I never had a team I
Speaker 2: thought for a while that I was a Tottenham fan,
Speaker 2: but then I realized I didn't really care. I wasn't
Speaker 2: watching their games. But once Maverick bought a piece of Liverpool,
Speaker 2: then I became a fan of them.
Speaker 4: All Right, last one, yeh by the way says you
Speaker 4: nailed it. He got through half of Obama's last book.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I figured. He has n't on his
Speaker 2: night stand, so it looks good but he doesn't. Actually.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he got Joel Penfield Pinfield lo hard? Oh?
Speaker 3: How okay? How hard?
Speaker 4: Were you laughing when Carl Jeffer's voice cracked when he
Speaker 4: had to announce that call.
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, let me say one thing, and is oh
Speaker 2: wrap the show. The roughing the pastor penalty on Chris
Speaker 2: Jones was objectively terrible. It was one of the worst
Speaker 2: calls you'll ever see. He already possessed the ball when
Speaker 2: they called him for ruffing the passer. Despite that call
Speaker 2: and the fact that it might have been the ten
Speaker 2: point swing, I think the Chiefs got the better whistle
Speaker 2: over the course of that game because the refs were
Speaker 2: so tilted by how bad that call was. A narrowhead's
Speaker 2: crowd that the Chiefs got every single flag the rest
Speaker 2: of the game. If I'm a Raider fan, that holding
Speaker 2: on the kick on the missfield goal haunts me to
Speaker 2: this day. And the poor Raiders who blew the game
Speaker 2: against the Cardinals almost stole the game against the Titans,
Speaker 2: finally got a win and then we're about to get
Speaker 2: another win. Be fine. Two and three headed into their
Speaker 2: box and would have beaten It would have beaten the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: And uh, what was their other win? Was it the
Speaker 2: Chargers or was it the Broncos the Raiders the Raiders
Speaker 2: other win? My apologies, No, it was it was the Broncos.
Speaker 2: That's right. They would have gotten two divisional wins and
Speaker 2: going into their buy instead, they're one and four. With
Speaker 2: that said, here's the Raiders' next six Houston, New Orleans, Jacksonville, Indie, Denver,
Speaker 2: Seattle before they play the Chargers again. The Raiders absolutely
Speaker 2: could be five and five. The reason I say five
Speaker 2: and five is obviously they're gonna lose to the Jaguars,
Speaker 2: my second favorite team. That's today's show, episode eighty one.
Speaker 2: We'll see you guys tomorrow for the gambling show. What's
Speaker 2: Right
