You started the show. You wouldn't even 24 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 3: talk to me. I was like, you good to go to. 25 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 4: YO that they'll maybe there are other things going on 26 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 4: in my life? Well, oh what's about you, mister Nick? 27 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 3: Okay, well you know what. Guess what the forty five 28 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 3: minutes twice a week when we do this kind of 29 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 3: is hey, I need you. You think you don't think? 30 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 3: There are days that I walk downstairs and I and 31 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 3: I'm either irritated with one of your little sisters, maybe 32 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 3: even you. Maybe your mom's gotten mad at me for something. 33 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: I don't sit in the seat before the TV show, 34 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 3: I'm all right, welcome in. It is episode twenty two 35 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 3: of What's Right with Nick right in the podcasting and 36 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 3: YouTube show. Unlike episode twenty one, we are not recording 37 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 3: this this show through a string in a cup. We 38 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 3: are back online fully and unlike any of the previous 39 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 3: twenty one episodes, we have a brand new microphone. So 40 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 3: these takes should be crystal clear, even more so than always. 41 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 3: So all that's good. Also reminder, check out the weekly 42 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: series fifty Garys players the last fifty years. The one 43 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 3: that comes out this coming Sunday will be the most controversial, 44 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 3: but I feel better about it than even when I 45 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 3: recorded it a few days ago. One serious note, we 46 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 3: are recording this one day after the massacre in Texas. 47 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: I am going to use the final segment of today's 48 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: show to talk about that. Some of what I say 49 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 3: will come across as political, and some of what I 50 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 3: say will simply be a parntal plea for some level 51 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: of sanity. If you are coming to this show as 52 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 3: an escape, or if you fear you're like I really 53 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 3: like Nick, but if I hear what I think he's 54 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 3: going to say about guns in this country, I'm gonna 55 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 3: hate him. If I find out his political opinion than me, 56 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: I won't be able to listen to him anymore. Then 57 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: just into the podcast or the YouTube show however you're 58 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 3: consuming it. After our second segment, the third segment, though, 59 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: we will be discussing that it's where my head is 60 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: right now, it's where my heart is right now. However, 61 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 3: we are here to provide an escape for many of 62 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 3: you and to talk about the sports news of the day. 63 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 3: So that is what we will do for the first 64 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 3: two segments of today's show. As always, we start the 65 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 3: show by telling you what we're not talking about. Here's 66 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 3: what did not make today's show in any way, shape 67 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: or form. Eastern Conference Finals Game five, because, as it happens, 68 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: that game has not yet happened, even though you are 69 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 3: consuming this after has happened. Brady hitting some ducks to Gronk. 70 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: Gronk shagging balls for Brady the left handed swing did, 71 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 3: wasn't that impressive with it? And the rural Virginia Commanders 72 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: as the former Washington football team now the Washington Commanders 73 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: might be moving outside of Washington, DC entirely, none of 74 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 3: that is on the show. Demonse will tell us what 75 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: is on the show. I hope I know what we're 76 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: starting with, but I don't know what we're starting with. 77 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 3: What are we starting with, Demanse. 78 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 4: How could we not? The MAVs avoided the broom Tuesday night? 79 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: Oh they sure did, didn't they? 80 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 4: Yep? Definitely helped that they finally started hitting the threes. Yeah, 81 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 4: but no team has ever come back from a three 82 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 4: tozero deficit in the NBA history. So if you think 83 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 4: that Luca can be the guy to do it. I 84 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 4: think it's probably time to make another bet. 85 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 3: Oh well, I'm not the first of there's a number 86 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 3: of things here. First of all, I've made plenty I 87 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: already have plenty of actual bets involving the Mavericks making 88 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 3: the finals and winning the finals. I'm what we would 89 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 3: call pop committed to that. I don't there's unless you 90 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 3: are going to give me outrageous odds. And by the way, 91 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: I don't even want to make this bet with you 92 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 3: because you're rooting for the Mavericks. I know you want 93 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 3: to root against me, but in this series, I've watched 94 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: the games with you. You're rooting for the Mavericks. You 95 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 3: don't like Draymond, you don't like the Warriors. So no bet, 96 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: there is no bet. That's first of all. Second of all, 97 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 3: I'm so sick of hearing people talk about three to zero. 98 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 3: It's not three to zero anymore. It's three to one. 99 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 3: And thirteen teams have come back from down three to one, 100 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 3: and the Warriors have blown a three to one league. 101 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 3: And here's the other thing. All the analysis of Game 102 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: four has been exactly what you said. Oh, the MAVs 103 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 3: finally hit their threes. Yes, that happened. But the other 104 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 3: thing that happened is they held the Warriors to seventy 105 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 3: points through three quarters. So the defense was outstanding as well. 106 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 3: Now do they have a major uphill battle? What go ahead? 107 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 4: Kind of reminds me of that game? Kind of reminded 108 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 4: me of another game. What game earlier in the playoffs? 109 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 4: What game was it? Game five of Grizzlies Warriors. I 110 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 4: knew you were going to say that when they came 111 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 4: and scored fifty points. I think they had fifty two 112 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 4: minutes into the third quarter of that game. It was 113 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 4: very clear. 114 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 3: The Grizzlies led by fifty in that game. 115 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 4: It was just very clear that they did not give 116 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: a damn about winning that game. 117 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 3: Okay, that might be true, however, I think that is 118 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 3: And by the way, good job by you. That is 119 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: the exact point Chris Brussard made on the TV show 120 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 3: this morning. So is your evolution into professional takesman. You're 121 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 3: now thinking the same way of the actual professional takesman. 122 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: So good job by you. However that is I'm going 123 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: to say to you what I said to him. That's 124 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 3: a terrible example for the Warriors case, which is this 125 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 3: the next game the Warriors didn't play great. If you 126 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 3: remember Game six of that series, the Warriors are trailing 127 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 3: with six minutes left in the fourth quarter, and then 128 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 3: the Grizzlies self destructive. The Warriors ended up winning by 129 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 3: fourteen points in that game because the final half of 130 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,119 Speaker 3: the fourth quarter the Warriors fell apart. But I agree 131 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 3: with you. It did remind me a bit of that game. 132 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 3: But it's like the Warriors came out the very next 133 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 3: night and totally took care of business on their home 134 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: court the way one were to say the Mavericks on 135 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: the Grizzlies. Lucas the best player in the series. That 136 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 3: was the Grizzlies without John Morant. And here's what I'm saying. 137 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 3: The Mavericks could have rolled over. The Mavericks could have said, 138 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 3: one hundred and forty sixteens fen down three to zero, 139 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 3: they're zero in one hundred and forty six, it's not 140 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: gonna happen, blah blah blah blah blah. But that is 141 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 3: not what they did. Instead, what they did was they 142 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: took the game seriously and now they're in a position 143 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: where they go back to Golden State where they've got 144 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: to believe they can win in Golden State demanse. I 145 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 3: know they lost Game one. In Game two, but they 146 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 3: were up nineteen in Game two. They were up fourteen 147 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 3: at the half, and then they fell apart. And here's 148 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 3: what I will unequivocally say. If the MAVs win Game 149 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 3: five and then the series goes back to Dallas for 150 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 3: Game six, the amount of pressure on Steph and the 151 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 3: Warriors will be unimaginable. So no, I'm not ready to 152 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: make another bet. The series should be to two games apiece. 153 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: The Mavericks should have won Game two, I mean, but 154 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 3: they didn't. So they dug themselves a seemingly undiggable outable 155 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 3: that's not the phraseology. I apologize, hole a too big 156 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 3: of a hole. But they have the best player there is, 157 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: the massive three point shooting variants. All of a sudden, 158 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 3: Kevon Looney wasn't you know, in the best center in 159 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 3: the Western Conference for finally a night. Kevon Looney and 160 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 3: Andrew Wiggins were a modern name. Mark eaton Karl Malone 161 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 3: for the first three games of this series. Mark eaton, Yes, 162 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 3: Mark Eaton, one of your favorites. So I'm not I'm 163 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: not going to make another bet for the MAVs to 164 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 3: really be in good shape it. Obviously you need to 165 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 3: be too, too. But I'm so sick of people talking 166 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 3: about three to zero. Three to zero is gone. It's 167 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 3: in the past. If I were to ask you guess 168 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 3: the number between one and one thousand, you would have 169 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 3: a one in one thousand chance. But if I then 170 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 3: told you the first digit of the number, you would 171 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: have a one in one hundred chance. That's what this 172 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 3: one was. It went from one in one thousand to 173 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 3: one in one hundred. Told you the second digit, you 174 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 3: would then have a one in ten chance. That's what 175 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: Game five would be. And then if I told you 176 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 3: the third digit, you'd have it. You'd have the number. 177 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 3: That's what Game six would be. They win Game five, 178 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 3: they're gonna get to win Game six, and then Game 179 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 3: seven Warriors will fall apart. Mark it down Game five. 180 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 3: Here's the official prediction. Game five is either the Warriors 181 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 3: by twenty or the Mavericks win the series. 182 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 4: I'm rooting for you. 183 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 3: Thank you. I appreciate that. That's why we're not betting 184 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 3: on it. All right, what we have an extended twelve 185 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 3: minute clock. We spent five minutes on that first topic, 186 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 3: so we gotta go faster. 187 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 4: What's next we're recording before Game five is Celtics and Heat. 188 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 4: I'm feeling great about it. Man. Yeah, Celtics bully the 189 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 4: Heat on Monday. There hasn't been one game where both 190 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 4: teams played pretty well, but this one kind of felt 191 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 4: like a turning point. So are you sticking to Heat 192 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 4: and seven or you finally ready to admit that Celtics 193 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 4: are the better team. 194 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 3: I don't think the Celtics are the better team. I 195 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 3: am sticking with Heat and seven. However, the only chance 196 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 3: the Heat have is if Jimmy Butler is close to 197 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 3: one hundred percent and we the audience will know, So 198 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 3: I don't want to spend ton of time on it here. 199 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 3: The audience will know by the time they hear this, 200 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: how Jimmy Butler looks like. Listen, Jimmy Butler played just 201 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 3: one half of Game three, played Game four, but was 202 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 3: nothing like himself. Didn't get to the free throw line, 203 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 3: had six or eight points. The Heat struggled too much 204 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 3: to score to be able to survive Jimmy Butler at 205 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 3: this level, and by the way, Tyler Hero didn't play 206 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 3: Game four. I do think it's noteworthy that there has 207 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 3: been one half this entire series. The Heat were at 208 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 3: full strength the first half of Game three. Kyle Lowry 209 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 3: was back, Hero played, Jimmy Butler played that half, and 210 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 3: the Heat won that half by fifteen points. I think 211 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 3: that's noteworthy. Now, I want to give you credit for something. 212 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: You have been big on time Lord on Robert Williams. 213 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 4: And he is a factor. 214 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 3: Well, it is not lost on me that the only 215 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 3: game this series that Bam has looked like an All 216 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 3: NBA center was the one game Robert Williams miss. With 217 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 3: that said, I wouldn't be shocked if Robert Williams misses 218 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 3: Game five or miss his Game six. He's been in 219 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 3: out of lineup the entire postseason, so injuries are obviously 220 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 3: a huge factor here. I'm not gonna use injuries as 221 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 3: an excuse with the caveat of if the best player 222 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 3: on a team gets hurt, that kind of removes the 223 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 3: pick I picked Grizzlies over at Warriors. Nobody threw that 224 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 3: in my face because John missed the final three games 225 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 3: of a series. If Giannis had gone down, not Middleton, 226 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 3: nobody'd be like Nick, you picked Giannis to make the finals. 227 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: If the best player on a team goes down. Now, 228 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler is gonna play Game five. I'm sure what's 229 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 3: he gonna look like. You guys already will know this. 230 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 3: We're recording a few hours for the game, so we'll 231 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 3: discuss this more next week, when hopefully we've gotten to 232 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 3: a seventh game in this series. We'll find out, all right, 233 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 3: what's next? 234 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 4: Rob Pickens the scene with the next GMS, Rob Polinka, 235 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 4: Rob Pelinka. 236 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 3: Dickens, go ahead, You're fine, don't worry about it. 237 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 4: Rob Polinka was seen with GM with next GM Sean 238 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 4: Marks at the combine. Yep. Maybe they were discussing your 239 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 4: old Russ Kyrie trade. 240 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 3: Yep. 241 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 4: And the Lakers' coaching situation was so bad by the 242 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 4: last show we couldn't even really discuss it. Yeah, seems 243 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 4: like Legm has his hands full. Uh huh, But what 244 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 4: would you like to see first? The Russ move or 245 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 4: the Doc move? 246 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 3: Okay, you know how I wouldn't talk about the Lakers 247 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 3: on the last show. I'm not telling the Lakers on 248 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 3: this show either. You guys keep putting the Lakers in 249 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 3: the show. I am not interested in talking about the 250 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 3: Lakers in their present form. Mad They're still the idea 251 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: that Doc Rivers is even on the list. Doc Rivers 252 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 3: has a job, and why do you want Doc Rivers? 253 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 3: And then Phil Jackson advising him to keep Russ. I 254 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 3: don't like any of it. I don't like that Lebron 255 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 3: James just made his record eighteenth All NBA team and 256 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 3: he's playing for this franchise that is just a total mess. 257 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 3: So I'm not you call them GM. You put it 258 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 3: in the rundown because people expect me to talk Lakers. 259 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 3: I am not interested in talking Lakers. Next topic. Okay, 260 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 3: well stop putting it in the show. 261 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 4: Well, you won't enjoy this any much more. But odds 262 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 4: or the Warriors will win this series by the time 263 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 4: you record our next show. If Steph win's another title 264 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 4: with al Katie or a real number two player, it's 265 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 4: a really big deal. The Warriors will be an all 266 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 4: time dynasty. Steph probably moves up in your top fifty list. 267 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 4: How much of this? How much is on the line 268 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 4: in terms of NBA history? If the Warriors win. 269 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 3: Oh well, listen, everything you said there is true. If 270 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 3: they win, it to me moves Steph to a clear 271 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 3: number two player of his generation. It moves him past 272 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 3: Durant and at least for the time being past you honest, because. 273 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 4: So he's not past Durant right now? Is what's your name? 274 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 3: I Going into the year, I would have said no. 275 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 3: Going into the year, I would have said because Steph 276 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 3: two years since Durant left, missed the playoffs, missed the playoffs, 277 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 3: looked like he wasn't gonna make another NBA finals. Durant. 278 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 3: You know, Steph had more regular season MVPs, Durant had 279 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 3: the finals MVPs. When they played together, it looked like 280 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 3: Durant was the better player. But if Steph wins a 281 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 3: title before Durant got there and after Durant leaves, the 282 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 3: fact that Steph, if they make the finals this year, 283 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 3: will have during this run since Steve Kerr took over, 284 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 3: have never lost before the finals. Since Steve has gotten there, 285 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 3: they've lost two series. One they lost to the greatest 286 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 3: player ever due to the greatest three game stretch of 287 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 3: basketball ever, Lebron James. He went forty one sixteen and seven, 288 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 3: and then forty one nine to eleven, and then he 289 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 3: had the triple double in game seven, twenty nine to 290 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 3: eleven and ten. I think to win twenty seven eleven 291 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 3: ten to win the title. I don't hold that against Steph. 292 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 3: You're up against the greatest player ever, has the greatest 293 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 3: three game stretch ever. And the other title you lose 294 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 3: was when Durant popped his achilles and Clay blew out 295 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 3: his knee. If they win the title this year, it's 296 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 3: an unbelievable stretch. Now there's the two years in the 297 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 3: middle of it, when they don't make the playoffs during 298 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 3: those two years. It's spelt to me like, Okay, you 299 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 3: know Durant those two years missed one year because he 300 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 3: was out. 301 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 4: With the achilles, basically missed this year. 302 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 3: Well and this year. But last year was unbelievable in 303 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 3: that series against Giannis and the Bucks. You couldn't put 304 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 3: that on Durant. But Steph, given that what happened with 305 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 3: Durant this year, swept in round one. If Steph with 306 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 3: a great supporting cast, but as you mentioned, not a 307 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 3: great number two. Jordan Pool's a one way player. 308 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 4: Clays A Shelby and Wiggins at this point that's his 309 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 4: number two. It seems like maybe, well. 310 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 3: Andrew Wiggins is the second best in this series, has 311 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 3: been the second best all around guy because Draymond's all defense, 312 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 3: Pool is all offense. Clay is not the same and 313 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 3: so yes, like Steph Curry, it was prior to this 314 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 3: year the point my point to be this. Prior to 315 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 3: this year, it was a real debate greater all time 316 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 3: Steph or kd if before this year it was a debate. 317 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 3: And if at the end of this year, Katie's swept 318 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 3: in around one and Steph wins the title, that's got 319 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 3: to sway it. Four rings, six finals appearances quickly, Guys 320 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 3: with the league MVP who have been to six finals, 321 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 3: it is Coozy, Russell, Kareem Magic, Michael Shaq, Kobe lebron I, 322 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 3: might a Duncan. That's the full list. If Steph adds 323 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 3: himself with that list, yeah, is he top ten all time? 324 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 3: Probably not, but banging on the door his second best 325 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 3: player of his generation. If they finished this off, he 326 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 3: might be second best player of his generation for the 327 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 3: time being. If they just make the finals, we'll be 328 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 3: right back. 329 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 5: Pisode is brought to you by all State.

The fact that you have for the 352 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 3: I don't know the last decade of your life overslept like. 353 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 4: Maybe like maybe, no?

If I were you, 364 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 3: I would make sure the alarm always goes off. 365 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 4: I've got a point to prove. I got you. I 366 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 4: will set it up.

No, listen, it might be a 376 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 3: thousand and zero at waking up? Can he count to 377 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 3: a thousand? I'm sure? All right, let's go. When are 378 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 3: we starting? 379 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 4: All NBA teams were announced. Joka's got first team and 380 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 4: then b got ann out second. So yeah, you got 381 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 4: your wishes kind. 382 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: Of yeah, exactly, that was important to me. 383 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 4: Lebron made thirdeam. I'm sure you have major issues with this, 384 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 4: and you know, considering how bitter you are, you don't 385 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 4: even have a vote. Huh, So what would you fix 386 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 4: about it? What would you make it right about this 387 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 4: year's NBA All NBA Team? 388 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 3: All right, so a little nick makes it right with 389 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 3: the All NBA team since I don't have a vote, 390 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 3: but I'm about to have a vote, and I'll tell 391 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 3: you why in just a moment. So I do like 392 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 3: that they kept to just one center. Fifty three of 393 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 3: the one hundred voters. By the way I crunch the 394 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 3: numbers on this, voted Jokic and Embiid both first team. 395 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 3: But despite that, in biding up being second team, I 396 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 3: would have had Himbiid first team in Jokic second team. 397 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: But it's fine. 398 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 4: I think that was a secret honest of course. 399 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 3: But overall, the first team. They did a really good job. 400 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 3: Luca makes first team, which, by the way, Lucas played 401 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 3: four years. He has three first Team All nbas Wild 402 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 3: demontse That is as many as Kyrie, Dame and Russ 403 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: combined combined. Kyrie's never been first Team All NBA, Dame's 404 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 3: only been at once, Russ has been at twice. That 405 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 3: is one less first Team All NBA. What a stat Yeah, 406 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 3: it's one less First Team All NBA than Chris Paul 407 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 3: has in his career than Steph Curry has in his career. 408 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 3: It is the same number of first Team All NBA's 409 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard has and Lucas twenty three years old. So 410 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 3: great job, Luke. A great job by them in that regard. 411 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 3: The I think in general, the voters did a good job. 412 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 3: I would have had Lebron's second team and Demarta Rosen 413 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 3: third team, but that's listen, the team missed the playoffs. 414 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 3: I didn't like. Nine of the All NBA voters left 415 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,959 Speaker 3: Lebron off their ballot entirely. That says Patty. I understand 416 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 3: the team was bad. He averaged thirty points, eight rebound, 417 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 3: six assists. Nobody in league history that as those numbers 418 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 3: has not been at least second team. To leave him 419 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 3: off your ballot seems silly, But that's not the issue. 420 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 3: Here's the reason why I say I might get a vote. 421 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 3: You know who got one vote for an All NBA team? 422 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 3: Who's a star that has no business being on the 423 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 3: All NBA team this year? And who would make me 424 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 3: the angriest that they got a vote? You have a 425 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 3: guess someone we've talked about a lot on this show. 426 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 4: It's right, No, James hard Draymond nom no. 427 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 3: Worse than any of that. Kyrie Irving. 428 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 4: Oh damn it. 429 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 3: Someone voted Kyrie Irving All NBA this year. Now the 430 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 3: the votes are public. We don't yet have the list yet, 431 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 3: but we will. Someone make an argument that that person 432 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 3: shouldn't lose their vote. No, I'm dead, I'm deadly serious. 433 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 3: Why should they not lose their vote? Of Yeah, he 434 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 3: played twenty nine Yeah, he played twenty nine games. He's 435 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 3: the biggest reason Harden wanted out. He was he was, 436 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 3: he was the opposite of good for his team. Yeah, 437 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 3: there's a and even if he was, even if he 438 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 3: had just missed twenty nine games, because he's Dame Lillard. 439 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, miss twenty nine games played twenty nine games, 440 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 3: Dame played twenty nine games, nobody's voting for him, and 441 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 3: Dame e Lee's team got like, so I'm serious that 442 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,479 Speaker 3: person should lose their vote. And I assume I am 443 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 3: the next person on the NBA's list that's gonna get 444 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 3: a vote, so that you come to me. So that's 445 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 3: my big In general, I actually think the all NBA 446 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 3: voters did a really nice job. I might have, you know, 447 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 3: made the argument Jimmy Butler should have gotten the final 448 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 3: because he was eligible at guard or forward, that he 449 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: should have gotten the final guard spot over Trey Young 450 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 3: but in or the final forward spot over Pascal Siakam. 451 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 3: But in general, I think the all NBA voters did 452 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 3: a really nice job with it. But Kyle, the one 453 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 3: person vote for Kyrie Irving, to me, that's indefensible. The 454 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 3: guy missed fifty three games. It was the biggest reason 455 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 3: the next season imploded. It's just outrageous. All right, what 456 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 3: are we doing now? 457 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 4: What game are we that is? That's pretty bad? 458 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 3: Okay, let's play, sir. 459 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 4: What's the bigger red flag? Rogers not at the OTAs 460 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 4: or Kyler not at the OTAs. 461 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 3: Oh, Kyler for sure. Rogers been in the league damn 462 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 3: near twenty years. 463 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I figured he's got some time of senior Yeah. 464 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 3: Are fifteen plus years. I understand he doesn't have Davante, 465 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 3: but he knows the receiver, he knows the offense Kyler. 466 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 3: To me, that's about the contract. I personally would be 467 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 3: very hesitant to give Kyler this contract. He wants Kyler 468 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 3: not being at the OTAs would concern me if I 469 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 3: were the Cardinals. All Right, what's next? 470 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 4: Okay, who's the worst? Liar? Tyreek saying Tula has got 471 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 4: a crazy arm or Belichick will pick the offensive coordinator 472 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 4: when we get to it. 473 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 3: Oh, Tyreek, listen Belichick, I Belichick, I seem I believe. Actually, 474 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 3: I don't think he thinks the titles are super important. 475 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 3: He never really has. I also don't think he has 476 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 3: great options. He's had Josh McDaniels there for so many 477 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 3: years in a row. I think this is kind of 478 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 3: putting him in a rough spot. He's gonna let Matt 479 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 3: Patrician Joe Judge battle it out, or maybe one of 480 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 3: his sons battle it out. Tyreek, though having to lie 481 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 3: about going from Mahomes to Tua, it listens. 482 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 4: Its like picture of Mahomes. 483 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just right. Yeah, Tyreek got the money, he 484 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 3: got the location. I'm sure Tyreek will have decent numbers 485 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 3: because they'll do a lot of like screenpack and short passes. 486 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 3: But Tua is not good. Tua does not have a 487 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 3: good arm. And it's going from Patrick Mahomes tou. If 488 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 3: you just if you were going from Matt Ryan to 489 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 3: to it'd be like, ooh, this rough. But he made 490 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 3: this choice. But of course he's got to lie about it, 491 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 3: so I mean it is Tyreek is lying. Tyreek also 492 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 3: at the end of one of these quotes said no homo, 493 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 3: which like, bro, like, I'm not gonna make it the 494 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 3: biggest deal. 495 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 4: In the world. 496 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 3: But you're a grown man and it's twenty twenty two 497 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 3: and you're at a press conference. Yeah, I mean, it's 498 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 3: not like he was caught on you know what I 499 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 3: mean saying it to a friend, which, again, you're a 500 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 3: grown man. But to have the lack of awareness that 501 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 3: at a press conference Mike's in your face to drop 502 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 3: a quote no homo onot, it's like, come on. 503 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 4: Man, that's high school culture right there. 504 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 3: Absolutely, it's like embarrassing high school culture, like you got 505 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 3: to be better than that, all right, what's next? 506 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 4: Predict a trade partner for one? DeAndre Ayton or Russell Westbrook. 507 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 3: These are both hard. I'm just gonna be totally honest. 508 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 3: They're both eight and will have plenty of suitors out there. 509 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 3: It's hard for him because it's hard to narrow it 510 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 3: down to one, because I think a lot of teams 511 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 3: would like eight and if they could get it. Young 512 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 3: was the number one pick of a draft showed you 513 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,120 Speaker 3: last year, not this year, but last year in the playoffs. 514 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,199 Speaker 3: He could be something of a force now unless you 515 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 3: have Other people have said this in their right that 516 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 3: unless you have Embiid or Jokic, does it make sense 517 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 3: to pay a center thirty plus million dollars when you 518 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 3: can get a Kavan Looney making almost nothing to give 519 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 3: you sixty percent of the production? 520 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 4: You know? 521 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 3: What I mean is that I'm not certain, but there'll 522 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 3: be teams that want him. Russ is in a different situation. 523 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 3: My gut tells me if I have to pick one 524 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 3: trade partner, I think it's the Knicks. The Knicks have 525 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 3: some contracts they want to get off of, like Evan 526 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 3: forty A and Alec Burks. I don't think they're gonna 527 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 3: get any super They're not. They're not gonna be able 528 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 3: to trade for Donovan this summer. They're gonna want to 529 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 3: put asses in the seats and keep their cap. That 530 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 3: would help them clean up their cap for future years 531 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 3: because Russ's contract is expiring. But now, would it be 532 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 3: a one team trade or a three team trade? I 533 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 3: don't know. Some people had postulated the Hornets, but Brusard 534 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 3: has said, and I trust him when he's reporting on this, 535 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 3: the Hornets are not actually interested. I do believe Russ 536 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 3: is going to be traded, and I would if I 537 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 3: had to pick one team, I would pick the Knicks. 538 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 3: But it's gonna be hard work. Luckily, the Lakers have 539 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 3: one of the worst gams in basketball, Rob Blinko. In 540 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 3: the case, you guys tricked me and talking about the Lakers, 541 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 3: like I wasn't gonna talk about the Lakers and you 542 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 3: tricked me into doing it. 543 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 4: I mean, you've actually talked about the Lakers a couple 544 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 4: of times. 545 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, okay, First of all, up the what it was? Okay, 546 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 3: all right, what's let's okay, go ahead, what's next? 547 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 4: What's the better fight? Canelo Triple G three or Barkley 548 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 4: versus Warrior fans. 549 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 3: It's definitely Barkley versus the Warrior fans, and Charles Barkley 550 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 3: is a great example and other people should learn from it, 551 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 3: which is this, I know everyone is all terrified of 552 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 3: cancel culture these days, and oh, you're not allowed to 553 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 3: say anything anymore. Charles Barkley's stance of I'm going to 554 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 3: act the way I've always acted and never acknowledged the 555 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 3: criticism is the best stance possible. If you don't say 556 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 3: anything that's actually truly awful, but it's just uncouth or 557 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 3: slightly non pc for the moment. What you don't like that? 558 00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 3: I said, I'm sorry, Hey, Nicki Minaj said in a 559 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 3: song and then spelled it. She said, Oh, you probably 560 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 3: can't even spell it. 561 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 2: Co U t H. 562 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 4: I knew exactly how to spell it. Oh, okay, I 563 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 4: know how. 564 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 3: I don't think it's you just don't think it's a 565 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 3: word people use. 566 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 4: That was the first time I've heard it, which is okay. 567 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 3: Oh, but you knew how to spell it. It is 568 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 3: like you knew what thirty one minus twenty two was. 569 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 3: But regardless, Oh okay, thought were on episode. Point is this, 570 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 3: that was quick math, good job by you. Point is this, 571 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 3: Barkley turned around to Warriors fans and said, keep messing 572 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 3: with me. I'm gonna bleep your I'm gonna go to 573 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 3: your house and bleep your mama. And nobody was like, 574 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 3: oh my, My'm dying. That's laughing because it's Chuck. And 575 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 3: there's a thread right now which is the best thread 576 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 3: on Twitter of a thousand great Barkley moments. Everyone just 577 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 3: loves him. The lesson, as always is if you don't 578 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 3: really do anything wrong, apologizing doesn't help. And the other 579 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 3: lesson is you can be the allowed. How offensive you 580 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 3: are allowed to be is direct correlated with how funny 581 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 3: you are. A slightly offensive joke that is not funny 582 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 3: at all, we'll get you in so much more trouble 583 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 3: then a very offensive joke that is wildly hilarious. Right, 584 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 3: and Barkley has walked that line better than just about anybody. Okay, 585 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 3: that is not the end of the show, but that 586 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 3: is the end of the sports part of today's show. 587 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 3: So if you don't want my thoughts on the tragedy 588 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 3: in Texas, I would ask you to join us again 589 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 3: on Sunday for the latest in the NBA of fifty 590 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 3: best players last fifty years and join us again. That's 591 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 3: coming Tuesday for episode twenty three, which is one more 592 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 3: than twenty two demandsay of this show if you would 593 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 3: like my thoughts on what just happened in Texas, that 594 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 3: is next. All right, welcome back in What's Right with 595 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 3: Nick Wright podcasting YouTube show. We are as recording this 596 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 3: right around twenty four hours removed from nineteen second, third 597 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 3: and fourth graders being murdered while at school outside of 598 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 3: Texas and Demons was sitting with me in the kitchen 599 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 3: when the news came across my Twitter feed and I 600 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 3: I don't think he's ever heard me. I audibly gasped 601 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 3: and started to cry. And I'm not a big crier. 602 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 3: You've probably seen me cry. I don't know four times 603 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 3: in the time, you know, in your life. Four yeah, 604 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 3: four might be high. And one of them was when 605 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,479 Speaker 3: I was trying to cold turkey quit cigarettes and nicotine patches, 606 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 3: and I did it at dinner. I just started crying 607 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 3: one day because I just I don't know what was 608 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 3: going on with my body. Was like, no, you need 609 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 3: these nickeotine patches. I'm not a big crier, but it's 610 00:31:53,880 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 3: just the never ending, just cavalcade of horror that we've 611 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 3: been living through. Plus the fact that my youngest daughter 612 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 3: is the age of these kids. And so there's something 613 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 3: I want to say about the big picture gun discussion 614 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 3: in this country, and then I want to talk about 615 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 3: what actually happened in Texas. The big picture gun discussion 616 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 3: is it's just so wildly disingenuous and dishonest that it 617 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 3: is for me impossible to talk about nearly impossible, because 618 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 3: it all comes downright. People say it's Second Amendment, and 619 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 3: it's essentially people argue it is an inherently American right 620 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 3: to be able to arm yourself against a tyrannical government. 621 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 3: And if people who are the most ardent Second Amendment 622 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 3: supporters actually believed that, then I would say, you know what, 623 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 3: I don't look at things that way, but I respect 624 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 3: your opinion. If they truly believed the government cannot be 625 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 3: trusted and because of that we must be able to 626 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 3: arm ourselves. That is what America was built on, fighting 627 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 3: an oppressive government, from you know, England to now all 628 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 3: of it. I will listen to that, but that never 629 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 3: holds up under scrutiny because we all know that even 630 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 3: as armed as we are as Americans, if the federal government, 631 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 3: if a president ordered the United States military to attack 632 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 3: the most heavily armed American city, it would wipe it 633 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 3: out in twenty four hours. The federal government has stealth 634 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 3: bombers and nuclear weapons and tanks and weaponry, which I 635 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 3: don't care how armed you are, your small munitions are 636 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 3: not going to hold up. So that part it falls 637 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 3: apart initially, but then one could argue, Okay, so we're 638 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 3: not going to be able to take on the US military, 639 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 3: but we should be able to protect ourselves against over 640 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 3: zealous agents of the state. Well, the most direct first 641 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 3: line of defense for the state is police officers. They 642 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 3: are agents of the state that are literally deputized by 643 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 3: the state or city, that carry weapons and are allowed 644 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 3: to use them in a way most Americans are not. 645 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 3: And the reason that I find it so difficult to 646 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:51,760 Speaker 3: have discussions with the vast majority of Second Amendment fetishists 647 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 3: is because they almost always not always, but the vast 648 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 3: majority I have come in contact with are the same 649 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 3: exact people who whenever there is a police shooting, side 650 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 3: with the police. They they are not worried about a 651 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:18,879 Speaker 3: tyrannical government, because what could be more tyrannical than an 652 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:23,320 Speaker 3: agent of the government killing a person in the street 653 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 3: with no judge, no jury, no trial. And the same 654 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 3: people that argue we must be able to carry weapons 655 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 3: of war because the government might come after us are 656 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,280 Speaker 3: the same people that say should have complied, should shouldn't 657 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 3: have run? Was he armed? All of it? And so 658 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 3: in my in my opinion, if you want, if I 659 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 3: will listen to someone who is an ardent Second Amendment defender, 660 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 3: but not if they all so are a thin blue line, 661 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:07,879 Speaker 3: blue lives matter, anti police brutality, protest person, and they're 662 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 3: almost the Venn diagram of that is damn near one circle. 663 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,879 Speaker 3: That is, the the armed agents of the state in 664 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 3: my lifetime that you have theoretically wanted to be to 665 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 3: have some level of defense against are certain elements within 666 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 3: the police force, and that the people who want us 667 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 3: armed never in my experience, side with the civilian in 668 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 3: that case. So I just don't think there's a logical consistency. 669 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 3: That's the big picture element of it. That's the macro. 670 00:36:49,600 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 3: The micro is I I think is important. And this 671 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:09,320 Speaker 3: is again this is again like gruesome to a degree, 672 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 3: but I think it's worth discussing, which is I think 673 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 3: people need to think about and process what actually happened 674 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 3: after those nineteen children were murdered. They're little kids, so 675 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 3: they don't have ID and many of them, I mean, 676 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,279 Speaker 3: they were shot with weapons of war and many of 677 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 3: them reportedly were shot multiple times or shot in the face. 678 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 3: So what you have is and this is similar with 679 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 3: what happened in Sandy Hook, because in my in the 680 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 3: last ten years, we have had two we have a 681 00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 3: countless school shootings, but two massacres of babies, of little 682 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 3: little kids. The way to identify the victims is a 683 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 3: process of elimination of well who made it out, pair 684 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 3: them up with the parents, and then, as what happened 685 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 3: in Sandy Hook, the parents who are left your kids died, 686 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 3: But then you have to match those parents up with 687 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 3: the dead kid. So yesterday they did DNA samples for 688 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 3: the parents and some of the parents had to go 689 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 3: identify those their babies bodies. And we choose to live 690 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 3: in this it is active choices that we as a 691 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 3: unique nation of mate where for the first time in 692 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 3: modern world history, or at least in this contractions, they 693 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,800 Speaker 3: world history, but the first time ever in American history. 694 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:08,720 Speaker 3: As of last year, the number one cause of death 695 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:17,399 Speaker 3: among children was firearms, not car accidents. It's unfathomable. Now. 696 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 3: Part of that's because car accidents have gotten the cars 697 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 3: have gotten safer. That's good. And of course part of 698 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 3: that is suicide. Those are firearm deaths, but those are 699 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 3: tragic and of itself in a totally different way. And 700 00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,839 Speaker 3: one does wonder if firearms weren't so readily available, would 701 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,399 Speaker 3: some of the kids not have made that decision, Would 702 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 3: they have gone another route? Would they have attempted suicide 703 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 3: in a different way that maybe they fail and then 704 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 3: get on track. But we we're the only place in 705 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 3: the world this happens, and we all know it. 706 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 4: And. 707 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 3: There is not the political will to stop it, and 708 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:10,919 Speaker 3: so we just it's not unimaginable, it's not unbelievable, and 709 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:19,160 Speaker 3: it is terrifying. And I use that word on purpose 710 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 3: because I I've said this for but I live in 711 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 3: New York City, theoretically the number one target in this 712 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 3: country for geopolitical terrorism. It was obviously the main target 713 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 3: at nine to eleven. It has been targeted before. You know, 714 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 3: I used to live in Kansas City, the odds of 715 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 3: being the victim of a foreign terror attack in Kanasity 716 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 3: not nearly the same as in New York City. But 717 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 3: I've never once spent one day had one moment in 718 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,920 Speaker 3: New York where I was like, ah, I'm afraid of 719 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 3: being a victim of a foreign terrorist attack. Now maybe 720 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,879 Speaker 3: that's because we're winning the war on terror, who knows. 721 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 3: But we've spent a lot of time and money and 722 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,319 Speaker 3: treasure and human lives fighting it. We've made it a 723 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 3: very high priority. Meanwhile, we are just giving up the 724 00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 3: fight on domestic terror. And I don't mean domestic terror 725 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 3: in the form of what happened in Buffalo ten days ago, 726 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 3: which was domestic terrorism because there was like a political motive. 727 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:33,400 Speaker 3: I just mean legit that I am over the last 728 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 3: ten years of my life I have I'm no longer 729 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 3: able to walk into a movie theater without having a 730 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 3: moment of where's the exit, because that's a place that 731 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:52,080 Speaker 3: I know. Get shut up now. After Buffalo add grocery 732 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 3: stores to the list, we're reminded regularly that our little kids, 733 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 3: their schools are on the list, and it's we shouldn't 734 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 3: be numb to the fact that it's nineteen nineteen dead babies. 735 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 3: But it's also every single child in that school is 736 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:27,480 Speaker 3: traumatized forever in ways that will have a lasting impact 737 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,760 Speaker 3: on every single moment of the rest of their life, 738 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:35,879 Speaker 3: and that community is changed forever. But all of our 739 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 3: kids are victimized here. All of our kids live under 740 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:48,440 Speaker 3: this specter of this so much so that they practice 741 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 3: for it. And there are so many it grisly tweets. 742 00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 4: And. 743 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 3: I Lady Aaron Alberti tweeted, I told my third grader 744 00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 3: about the shooting. She replied, third grader, same age, Diana. Yeah, 745 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,640 Speaker 3: we had a lockdown drill today. There aren't very many 746 00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 3: hiding places in our room. The good ones all get 747 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 3: taken in like three seconds. And then Lillia writes her 748 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 3: daughter walked out. I told Diora, our older daughter, about 749 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 3: what happened yesterday. She didn't seem to blink. She hadn't 750 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 3: heard about it. I told her. She was not surprised. 751 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 3: And this is the country we've built for our children, 752 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 3: and I, uh, it feels unsustainable. It feels at times 753 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 3: like we are ripping ourselves apart at the seams. We 754 00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,720 Speaker 3: see that we're doing it, and we just keep walking 755 00:43:53,800 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 3: towards more disaster, and it took two mentally unstable, hateful, 756 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:14,800 Speaker 3: eighteen year old kids themselves two. I don't know ruin 757 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:21,240 Speaker 3: two communities change the lives of forty families or thirty 758 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 3: families directly and indirectly change the live of five hundred more. 759 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 3: The ease with which it can be done, and the 760 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 3: power that we just can just seede to anybody. It's 761 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 3: just not a it's not a sustainable model for a 762 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 3: thriving society. And I don't know where we go from here. 763 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 3: I don't have the answer. I have some ideas, but 764 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 3: they're all quite radical, and I'm not going to get 765 00:44:53,520 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 3: into them here. I do know that we really owe 766 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,319 Speaker 3: our kids not only an apology, but a level of amazement, 767 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:14,680 Speaker 3: because I am telling you right now, if any workplace 768 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:20,359 Speaker 3: in America got shot up with the regularity schools did, 769 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 3: us adults would be demanding change and a lot of 770 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 3: us wouldn't go anymore. And our brave children march themselves 771 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 3: into school every day knowing this happens. Says it's part 772 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,400 Speaker 3: of doing business, part of growing up in America, and 773 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 3: hopefully if it comes to my school, I'm one of 774 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 3: the kids that finds one of the good hiding spots 775 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 3: and it's revolting. I'll talk to you guys next week.
