But I'm a Bulls 45 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: guy in Chicago, So I was in my late twenties 46 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: and uh, for better words, the most embarrassing franchise the 47 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: last twenty five years is mine to call my own. 48 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: I I bleed red and black and have games and say, yeah, 49 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 1: it's it's it's I think it has something to do 50 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: with all the zinc I've been taken in. But should 51 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: version to the luxury text. But yeah, I'm I'm I'm 52 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: a Bulls guy. Yeah, okay, okay, that's a little it's okay, 53 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: that's the right that's the right response. We've had to 54 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: back Bulls fans. It's just your like the third Bulls 55 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: fan that we've had in in recent weeks. And so no, 56 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: it's fine, it's great. The uniforms are nice, right, oh yeah, 57 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: oh yeah, iconic some of the best. Yeah you are 58 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: in Indiana, the scene of the crime that we're going 59 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: to get to on a little bit of the job dunk. 60 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: I mean these happened. These jaw breakers, as I've coined them, 61 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: and nobody else ever has are happening on a pretty 62 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: frequent basis. But oh oh yeah, M O R A 63 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: N T. I'm trying to do like that song with 64 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: jar Will and j LO when she's spelling are you Ellie? 65 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: And I thought it was a question if he was Ellie, 66 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: I'd rather than spelling are you Ellie? Are you Ellie? 67 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: I thought that was the thing, was like, are you Ellie? 68 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, who's Ellie? Is this a blind day? End 69 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: of the scene? Jaw rule? But okay, um, but yeah, 70 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: A question like, with your fandom being you know, like 71 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: talking about the game so much, are you able to 72 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: kind of have a healthy distance, are you still like 73 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: kind of caught up in your child fan mode? Or 74 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: you live and die by all the results. So I 75 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: can sit I can sit tight on press row and 76 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: not make it, not move a muscle and not raise 77 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: an eyebrow, even if Gilbert and running and this is 78 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: hitting a game winner in Kerfeinerck's face, not you know, 79 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: for me to to to, you know, lose Chicago's home 80 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: court advantage in the first round the playoffs. You know, 81 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: I can. I can handle my own stuff. I mean, 82 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: I should have been at that game. I had planned 83 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: on making a press cidential going in for that game. 84 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: I was all set up to go to that game. 85 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: Then a couple of days before I was just like, 86 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of stuff to do around the house. 87 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: I haven't seen the wife in a while. I got 88 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: to take the tree down and I didn't go to 89 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: the game. I'm just very upset I did not have 90 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: that site to behold in person. Of course, while we're 91 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: on the subject, I may not have survived. So better 92 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: that I did not go to that game, because you know, 93 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: I'm getting up there in age and I don't know 94 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: how many sicks listening has left, and seeing on TV 95 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: was was close enough. So that was plenty. Yeah, it 96 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: was wonderful. You got to take the whole thing, and 97 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: you got to take the bench reaction in and we're 98 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: going to talk about it all. But should we talk 99 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: about should we talk about who's running the table of late? Yeah, 100 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: because you've got three teams that are kind of separating 101 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: themselves a little bit. At West, you got the Nuggets 102 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: and Grizzlies. The grizz have won ten straight and the 103 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: Nuggets have won sixth straight. And then the Celtics won 104 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: seventh straight, largest point differential in the league at six 105 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: point five, best road record in the league. That's an 106 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: interesting thing that like things were trending in the direction 107 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: that like road versus home court advantage wasn't as big 108 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: a deal, and then this season it's just really really 109 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: reverted back. Yeah, it's weird. You think Darius Garland's road 110 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: home splits. It's very it's all very strange, like now 111 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: it matters all of a sudden. Yeah, this game against 112 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: the Hornets. I'm living in fear of Jayson Tatum. I 113 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: always live in Tatum has ruined my life. My team, 114 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: the seventies Sixers traded the ability to draft Jason Tatum 115 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: for Mark l. Folts and gave like additional picks. I 116 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: believe I've never felt like the seventy sixers got the 117 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: better half of that deal. And so it's always it's 118 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: always stung a little bit every time he has proven 119 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: himself to be a generational talent. Yeah, I mean fifty 120 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: one points nine rebounds, five assists. One thing to note, 121 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what they have in the water in Charlotte, 122 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: but people show up. I mean embid fifty three twelve 123 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: and three on twenty thirty two shooting this year, Yokich 124 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: had that forty game, twenty seven rebounds tripled uple over there. Uh, 125 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: and then Jayson Tatum. Good things are happening, good things. 126 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 1: It's almost like Kai Jones place for the Hornets or something. 127 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: It's almost like, gee, I wonder what's happening now, But 128 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: let's it's probably some sort of hotel set up, or 129 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: maybe it's it's the bus, you know, like the eight 130 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: c M fees are like way lower in Charlotte than 131 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: other banks around there. Yet it can't be Kai Jones, 132 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: absolutely not. Jayson Tatum, by the way, number of fifty 133 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: point games scored in a Celtics uniform. There are five 134 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: players who have one game. Larry Bird has four games, 135 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: and Jason Tatum, who I believe is nineteen years old, 136 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: he's always so much younger than I expect him to be, 137 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: has five games already where he put up fifty or more. 138 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: It's unnerving. Yeah, there's no sign of them slowing down. 139 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: So whatever, they had that one little skid that like 140 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: teased some of us, but uh yeah, everything might fall 141 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: apart with them and the markets smart may not be happening. 142 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: That just that just gave some sort of hope. But 143 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: but no, and it's just you know, it's you can't 144 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: like them because they're the ceutic. Yeah yeah, but then 145 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,559 Speaker 1: it's like yeah then, but it's hard like as I watched, 146 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: oh my god, it they're so good. Your part to 147 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: be has like a morbid fascination. But yeah, I mean, 148 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: I won't be wearing a jersey anytime soon. Yeah. We'll 149 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 1: link off to some of the highlights from that Tatum 150 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: game of fifty one, nine and five against the Hornets. 151 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: But if you need more evidence that Jayson Tatum is incredible, 152 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: uh yeah, well we'll link off to it. But man, 153 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: he looked like he could not miss, which was I 154 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: think that the scary part, which just felt like I 155 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: was like, oh, I'm going to wail everything to happen. Yeah, 156 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: they look like small shots. They look like he's so 157 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: strong now that when he gets up to that that 158 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: high point on his release, it doesn't look like a 159 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: twenty four ft shot. It looks like he's just going 160 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: in for a free throw line pull up and and 161 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: it ain't fair for someone who's I think sixty eighteen 162 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: years old. Yeah, and this is a podcast that we 163 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: do in partnership with the NBA, and I think that 164 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: that's a message that we're trying to send. It's not 165 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: fair and we need to do something about this. Jayson 166 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: Tatum guy, it's not it's not fair to the rest 167 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: of the league, to the fans, Nerf. Some of his 168 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: stats man like putting up date do a roster date, Yeah, Nerf, 169 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: some of those four on five should be should be 170 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 1: thought of. I think it's you know, especially teams around 171 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: the second half of the back to back. It's just 172 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: at some point you have to keep feelings in order. 173 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, Jason Tatums is just clearly unfair. 174 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: You're allowed to throw things at the ball when he 175 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: shoots it. I think would be maybe you know, get 176 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: the bench involved, you know what about them as sharp shooters. 177 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: You know. Again, anything that brings Kai Jones into this 178 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to happen. He has, he has hornet hair, 179 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: and uh, yes, it needs we need more of him 180 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: on the court, even if it's only in a four 181 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: on five setting, right, So it feels like we're almost 182 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: saying that the Celtics are foregone conclusion nearly Celtics in Brooklyn. 183 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: Brooklyn still still intrigued. Okay, when they had it going 184 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: in the playoffs before everybody got hurt, Like if they 185 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: can keep it going for the whole playoffs, and I 186 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: think they're pretty pretty tough to deal with. They still 187 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 1: continue to look good even with Katie banged up. But 188 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: the Celtics look like I would say the Celtics are 189 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: a clearer pick to come out of their conference than 190 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: anybody out west. The grizz and the Nuggets are both 191 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: pretty hard to separate from one another. The Grizzlies have 192 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: the more recent kind of run and playoff experience. The 193 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: Nuggets had that one bubble run though, where they looked incredible, 194 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: got to the Western Conference finals, so I could I 195 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 1: could see absolutely lost his mind, right, Yeah, that was 196 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: that was some good shot making. Uh, We're we're kind 197 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: of unique here, Kelly on this podcast because we talked 198 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: about the importance of shot making and how good shot 199 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: making is in the NBA these days. You could put 200 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: a friendly wager on Brooklyn beating these Celtics and five 201 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: you would five close games where Kevin Durant hit six 202 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 1: of his two point shots. I mean, yeah, I took 203 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: Brooklyn Is. It's just as hot as anything I've ever seen. 204 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: I'll go follow the Magic Johnson tweets about it, like you, 205 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,359 Speaker 1: there's no reason why we should be at all discounting 206 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: even without Nick Lackson's ascension, this team that just pulls 207 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: up for jumpers and does not miss them. Yeah, Magic 208 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: Johnson some of my favorite hot takes. You know, a 209 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: hot take factory, one of one of the great tweeters, Katie, 210 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: who you like Between the Grizzlies and the Nuggets. Grizzlies 211 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: are so many different teams at once. Player goes down 212 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: and they're the best defensive team in the NBA and 213 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: a player that loves into the lineup and the best 214 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 1: three points you need team in the NBA, and a 215 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: player and in the middle of it as a JO 216 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: and sometimes he's not in the middle of it. So 217 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: I feel like they haven't shown me their greatest yet. 218 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: So I should say the Grizzlies. But Denver has a 219 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: full of smart and intelligent role players expertly put together 220 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: and then as the best player in basketball. Sorry that 221 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: the guy from Denver is the best player in basketball. Uh, 222 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Grizzlies because I don't know 223 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: what they're gonna even be like in May, right, Yeah, 224 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 1: that's true. They're hard to prepare for, right, and that 225 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: they did seem to surprise some people in the playoff 226 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: flash year because of that, right, Like Joe went down 227 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: and they still got a gamer too. So let's talk 228 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: about that guy from Denver. Um. We are, of course 229 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: talking about uh Man, formerly known as the Joker, but 230 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 1: will now be known as Big Honey. To me, I 231 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: didn't even know that was a nickname, but super producer 232 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: Jabari let me in on that and that that works 233 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 1: much better. Yeah. It reminds me of like watching Greg 234 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: Maddox pitch at his height when like he wasn't throwing heat, 235 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: but it was just like everything was exactly on the 236 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, pinpoint corner, and they were like, how come 237 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: these guys aren't just like rocking this dude and dead 238 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: glasses out there? You know? But Big Honey man, I 239 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: don't know. I can just watch him pass the ball 240 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: all day. Every every time we talk, we're like, did 241 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: you see that pass? You see that, but like his 242 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,599 Speaker 1: passing is unbelievable. And I know, if I think what 243 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: was I may it may have been the listener made 244 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: Paul Garaventa, one of y'all were reaching out and saying, 245 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: this is our vetus o bonus eracer. Well, yes, I mean, 246 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: obviously there's no shade rvy to Sabonus. But what we're 247 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: seeing with Yokich is like it's he's building on that, 248 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 1: and it's it's beautiful to watch the way he's doing 249 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: it is like we are seeing the next level. Yeah, 250 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: and the the league is so much more creative offensively 251 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: than it used to be because it's more spread out, 252 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: and yeah, I don't know, it's like it's like comparing 253 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: a Renaissance master and then like one of those dudes 254 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: who was painting when everything was like, you know, they 255 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: would paint babies that look like middle aged men. You know. 256 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: It's just like like like the Dark Ages painters, where 257 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: everyone just looks like middle aged men of various sizes, 258 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: Like the Sabonis wasn't wasn't working with the same you know, 259 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: level of creativity and movement and spreading of the court 260 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: is putting up the Guernica you know, you know what 261 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: I mean.

I'm 272 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: not gonna say who raised the idea that the Suns 273 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: should enter the race. Uh now they're one and nine 274 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: in their last ten um. It was not me, but 275 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: somebody raised that idea that the Suns might just want 276 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: to blow it up and try and try and make 277 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: some moves.

But I 332 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: don't want to make the same mistake that every other 333 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: NBA podcast is, And uh, pay all our attention to 334 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: Shinguon and none of it to Lebron. James So Lebron 335 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: over the last seven games thirty seven points, nine point 336 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,479 Speaker 1: seven boards, eight point six assists on the back end 337 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: of a back to back like that is the back 338 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: to back like this reminds me of when everyone's like, 339 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: well they just came into the bubble in better shape 340 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: and like more focused than everyone. It's like, yeah, that's 341 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: part of the that's part of the thing. And also 342 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: he's older than everyone and he's ready to do it 343 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: more than anyone. Like the fact that he is at 344 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: this age, like has the advantage on the back end 345 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: of a back to back is wild. Yeah, and it's 346 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 1: wild too, Like the Jabbar was sharing, like, you know, 347 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 1: a tweet that was just saying, like, the youngest player 348 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: in NBA history to a thousand points Lebron, two thousand points, Lebron, 349 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: three thousand points, Lebron all the way to twenty thousand points. 350 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: And you see these comments from people that are like, 351 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean unfair advantage. Kids, He's been 352 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: doing it since he was eighteen, So like, let's adjust 353 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: that a little bit, Like as if that is like 354 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: would niggate what he's achieving. It's like, no, he's actually 355 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: so good that he is able to begin putting the 356 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: numbers down at that age. Not oh man, he bought 357 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: his way into the league or something, Miles, that's his 358 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: privilege being that good at basketball from a their young age. 359 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: You know, he was kind of he had an advantage, 360 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: and that's not fair. Again, the NBA needs to step 361 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: in and do something because this guy's got an advantage. 362 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: Over everyone, and he's at it for a long time 363 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: and it's not fair. What's good as a child? I 364 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: feel like I'm giving a speech that like a Brad 365 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: Bird character would and like the incredible. But um, it 366 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: was kind of heartwarming and endearing to see Jabari Smith Jr. 367 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: Talking to him. I think it was like right off 368 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: the tip, like first play of the game. Uh. I 369 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: think we have the audio from it. Yeah, just coming 370 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: up and being like you played with my daddy and 371 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: you get if you listen closely here, I'm like, hey, man, 372 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: are you trying to make you feel older? Hey, you 373 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: played with just my dad first, your first NBA game 374 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: ever Sacramento. You feel ha ha ha ha. And then 375 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: Lebron doun't. Moments later, right before the half, Lebron is 376 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: bringing it up the court and credit to this young 377 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: man because he really he's like, you know what, I'm 378 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 1: gonna show him how dedicated I am on defense, only 379 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: for Lebron James to be like, you know, I've been 380 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: doing this since you were literally born, young man. Now 381 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: get out my way. That's just like the second or 382 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: third really three points down search Barie Smith looking for 383 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: some help. Yeah, we better call your daddy. We do 384 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: have to commend. As Lebron was making his way to 385 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: the rim, you Sawmond Garuba maybe challenge, maybe challenge, and 386 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: then at the last minute he decided, you know what, 387 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: I don't need to be on a poster or even 388 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: near a highlight. But I do want to give it 389 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: up to him because he thought for a second right here, 390 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: he decided to gather jump and then he actually was 391 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: like no, no, no, we gotta get out of the circle, 392 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, because otherwise that's a charge or that's not 393 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: a charge. No, this is so Superducer Javari was saying 394 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: that he made a good business decision. Yeah, I think 395 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: I think we need to find the right player in 396 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: the NBA to name that. That should be their nickname, 397 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: like street clothes, like business decision. Is the player who 398 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: just always is like smart enough to get out of 399 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: the way. Yeah, but like not appear on posters. He's 400 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: like the Forrest Gump of Dunk posters. Like he's in 401 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: all the posters. He's he's because he decided running the 402 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: other way. But yeah, he's exactly. I mean, should we 403 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: talk about somebody who made a poor business decision? Yeah? 404 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: I probably should. Oh, John Marant. I mean, we might 405 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: as get to this dunk. Oh boy, should we just 406 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: watch it once to remember what we saw. Let's let's 407 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: do it against McConnell. Okay, we need multiple angles. The 408 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: most cocked back a ball has ever been. Look at 409 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: the bench. The bench. It turned into a single celled organism. Yeah. 410 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: The reaction is so wonderful. Yeah, because you got like 411 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: somebody holding everybody back. Is it Baine who's holding everybody back? 412 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: I think so. I love I love the holding everyone 413 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: back like something tragic or horrible has happened, just like 414 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: you're you're leaning on the other people for supports. Please 415 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: don't hurt yourself. Don't hurt you, don't don't get don't 416 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: jump into the fray. The firefighters do the job. Yeah. Yeah, 417 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: it's like it's like the Mystic River. Yeah exactly. But yeah, 418 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 1: I like I like how. Even John Ray tweeted afterwards 419 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: he said he quote tweeted the video said jump with 420 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: me if you want to go viral um, which again, 421 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: I think that's the point. Mr Jalen Smith, maybe that 422 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: wasn't the best business decision you could have made, but look, hey, 423 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: not all of us find ourselves j Smith. Yeah, right, 424 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: also known for becoming a single sell the organism on defense. 425 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes it gets into some trouble with coach. Yeah, I'm 426 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: gonna say I was not a big business decision in 427 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: my in my career, I played against Dan get Zurich, 428 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: who you know, my from U c l A.

Because 457 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: when the ball hit the floors, like like it wasn't 458 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: that snap of it here? And the way those games 459 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: or points should have counted. Thank you, vacate those games, 460 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: thank you. Then c double steps in. It is like 461 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: nobody who played in any of these games can go 462 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: to a n C double a school. It's it's illegal. 463 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: Academic pursuit you are not allowed to. Just I'm trying 464 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: to engauge, like come up with the thinking that arrives 465 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 1: at that, because like the worst thing to fall on 466 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: and have rub against your body when you're like running 467 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: at full speed is carpet. And they were like, you 468 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: know what would be good for people a contact sport 469 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: where you fall down a lot, especially when Dan get 470 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: Zurich is dunking all over you. Carpet. Let's let's go 471 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, I don't know ory friction. Yeah, it's weird. 472 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: It's it was just jim floor carpeting because like it 473 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: was one of those things that had all their lines 474 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: on it, like like a I don't know, it must 475 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: have been discount or something. Anyway, do we want to 476 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: talk about our teams going against one another? Jack that 477 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: almost ruined us? I mean it was, it was a 478 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: good game. I mean, it's just it was like the 479 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: hard bit was that clear foul on Russell Westbrook by 480 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: Joel Embiid, But then the league's like, according to our analysis, 481 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: that's not a foul, and like Lakers fans like that 482 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: from games. We're dying over here. But you know what, 483 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: it all melted away because Like I said, Joel Embiid 484 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: is a gunner, so you know he also supports the 485 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 1: right football club. So eleven from Joel Lebron continue to 486 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: look incredible reach thirty K not a great close out 487 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: for it wasn't great. It wasn't great, but look, it 488 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: is what it is.

As I can put any team over the top, 560 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: and I need to see a little more playmaking from c. J. McCollough. 561 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: It's totally trust Okay, okay, you know what shot making? 562 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: Shot making?

And also a wise man by the 566 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: name of Alice Cooper taught me how to pronounce this. 567 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: But the Bucks of Millie Wauke absolute concenter, absolute consenter, 568 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: not because of the the What do the bass players 569 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: say the three socialist mayors that they've elected. Uh, they're 570 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: they're they're a champion at the bit because they feel 571 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: like they were wronged by a wet spot in the 572 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: United Center floor. And for this I cannot blame them. 573 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: They are they are a frightening basketball team in all regards. 574 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: And Brook Lopez is having an outsize defensive season that 575 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: I wish we'll get more and more recognition. Um, all right, 576 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: you have the chance to win ten thousand dollars by 577 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: making a layup with each hand dollars to make five 578 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: or five free throws, where one thousand dollars to make 579 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: at least four or five from deep. You are shooting 580 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: at the Spurs game that broke the record for attendance, 581 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: and the crowd is not on your side. Um, they 582 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: know you're not from Texas. Uh, they they are hostile. 583 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: Which challenge are you taking?

I'm here to set screens and defend 586 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: and rebound. Okay, And it's not my fault that all 587 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: my teammates left me on court here to make tend 588 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: the brand. But that's what I want to do. Unless 589 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: the Texans don't get angry. The worst they do is 590 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: they call your boss and they're still really friendly to you. 591 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: So I can't you know, I can't really imagine all 592 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: those texts sixty two thousand or whatever it was. That 593 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: ain't right. But no, come on, I'm great at the 594 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: bobbla near left hand lap, so I can't you can't 595 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: trust my stroke? Com Yeah, I'm gonna hit four or five. 596 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: Oh and it is. It is one of those uh 597 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: backyard basketball hoops where you can just like drill it 598 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: against the just throw it as hard as you can 599 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: and then dropped straight up top straight up, stop just 600 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: straight away because it absorbs all the energy because all 601 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: the screws are loosens, like my like how full it 602 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: just dropped like yeah, you just gotta hit the square man. 603 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: I gotta say, ZERK didn't want to see me on 604 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: that basketball on my home court then then when because 605 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: he would have broken broken the rim after the first 606 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 1: dunk and then we would have been done. You like 607 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: NBA jam, I love it, Okay, unless you're playing Charlotte, 608 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: then I get really upset. It seems like me to me, 609 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: they were a little overrated on that game, but you know, 610 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: the high powered, high powered you you couldn't usually were 611 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: like you can't have Zoe and LJ. But it's just 612 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: like you gotta be your dues, you know how Just 613 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: to me, they were just you know, too young, but 614 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,720 Speaker 1: that you know, I was an old thirteen year old. Okay, 615 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: well then how about this? Who is your ultimate NBA 616 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 1: J M duo? And don't say m j M Pitt 617 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: Come on, it's it's it's the What was the RP 618 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: that only had VJ and Horace? Was that a thing? 619 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: I think I remember that? Yeah, yeah, I love that 620 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,760 Speaker 1: but that's just modern NBA right there. That's more freeze 621 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: and stretch chords. So you know, if you're looking to 622 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: slam a jam and get you know, on fire and 623 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,359 Speaker 1: the flag on all those nineties things, fine, But if 624 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 1: you're looking to make some points for possession trying to 625 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: look at your offensive efficiency through the riff, you're gonna 626 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 1: go with Courts. You're gonna go with b J gonna 627 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: through a sensible NBA jam game. That's my approach. You 628 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: guys want to slam a jam, go ahead. Yeah, And 629 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: I do think it was a statistical advantage to get 630 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 1: on fire personally, but I don't know you can put 631 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,399 Speaker 1: together an all time four man dunk contests. Let's get 632 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: your list Thence Carter, Fence, Carter, Vince Carter, Okay, Freddie Jones, 633 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: Desmond Mason. It would probably be Chris car and Deep 634 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: maybe Mike Finley because I'd like to see those guys 635 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: get another dump test chance because if you go him 636 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: on YouTube, you know Mike Finley that the cart wheel. 637 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,320 Speaker 1: Chris Carr was way better than he than he performed. 638 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 1: Fred Jones won it, but he was still better than that, 639 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: and doesn't Mason's just fun to watch jump. So I'm 640 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: gonna go with those four unheralded times. Love that love 641 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: the cart wheel. And here's my question for you. You 642 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: can go back in time and watch any single NBA 643 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: game from throughout history live in person. Which game are 644 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: you choosing to be at? I would go Game two 645 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 1: of the six Eastern Conference Finals, where up on the 646 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls came back from any team point episode at 647 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,320 Speaker 1: halftime to overtake him. I feel like that is not 648 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: to put any dispersions on Doc Rivers and Bob Neil's 649 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: call for TVBS, which was which was wonderful, But you 650 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,320 Speaker 1: know that that seem to be like the front Tuesday 651 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 1: Night from the burgeoning Chicago spring. So probably that one, 652 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: the Wilt one is always enticing. But I don't want 653 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:25,879 Speaker 1: to see a lot of free throws. No one wants 654 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: to see that. I mean, okay, Grady hit free things, 655 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 1: get out of here.

All right. 657 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: And finally, and I want to make it clear to everyone, 658 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: I'm not weeping openly at this point. So anybody who 659 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: said that I put pressure on the guests by weeping openly. 660 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 1: I'm hiding the fact that I'm weeping. The question is 661 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: Jack or Miles. It's gonna be Jack because of the tees, 662 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: the way they blend into his cheekbones. It's just listening.

He's biting his fists. This 668 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: is okay. I don't know if they end every show 669 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 1: like this, but it's quite spectable.
