30
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: show today. We have some breaking news from overnight. The

31
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: NBA Finals start, and I barely slept last night because

32
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 2: i have some weird head cold going on. So I'm

33
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: gonna try to power through today because I actually I

34
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: feel fine, but I'm obviously I've got something going on.

35
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: But today's a big show, and we had news I

36
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: did not expect to be coming. And if I wasn't

37
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: demands already hyped about the finals, I'm gonna throw a

38
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: curveball at you. A bit here. Guess who the first

39
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 2: one is gonna be very hard to guess, but once

40
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: you hear the answer that you might be able to

41
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: get to the second one. Guess who the Boston Celtics

42
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: had narrate their hype video that they posted last night.

43
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 2: It's an all time great athlete from the region basketball.

44
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: Oh from uh uh called Tom Brady.

45
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: Tom Brady is correct, Tom Brady narrated the Celtics hype video.

46
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 2: Guess who narrated the MAVs hype video.

47
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: Well, uh, it's a.

48
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: Prominent MAVs fan in line with Tom Brady. It was

49
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. So it's almost like these finals are a

50
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: goat quarterback proxy war. Like you've got Patrick's MAVs and

51
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: Tom Celtics. Like, I don't know if this goes on

52
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: the goat ledger, but does if the MAVs win, does

53
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: Patrick get like a quarter of a ring in the race.

54
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. Some people are saying it, so I

55
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: I'm just I was already hyped for it, but now

56
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: there's just added steak. It's that Brady's doing the MAVs

57
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: or the Celtics. Patrick's doing the MAVs. I think maybe

58
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: do they both show up. I mean, Patrick's definitely showing

59
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: up court side for the MAVs games in Dallas? Does

60
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: Tom show up courtside for the Celtics games in Boston?

61
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: Is he there tonight? I don't know. I just I

62
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: couldn't be more excited. But somehow WOJE stole the show.

63
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: So we can't even start the show with that. But first, quickly,

64
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: what missed the cut? Travis Kelce does not watch Grey's

65
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: Anatomy with Taylor Swift. That should have to be honest, guys,

66
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: missed the cut? For missing the cut, FX is clipped

67
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: premiered Tuesday. I won't watch a second of it. And

68
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: this is sucks. But Novak Djokovic hurting the French Open

69
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 2: but demons, let's start with the breaking news overnight from

70
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: WOG go ahead.

71
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's some breaking news out of Los Angeles.

72
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 3: A new name being thrown into the ring for the

73
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: Los ang his head coaching position, Yukon's Dan Hurley. So

74
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,559
Speaker 3: I got a couple questions for you with that. Which

75
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: coach do you think has a better chance of leading

76
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: LA back to the finals between him and JJ Reddick?

77
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 3: And secondly, which coach do you think has a better

78
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: chance to retain Lebron.

79
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: So I don't think Lebron's decision about where he plays

80
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: is going to be impacted much by whether it's Hurley

81
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: or JJ, because he clearly has a lot of respect

82
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: for both of them. He actually replied to a JJ

83
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: interview with Dan Hurley talking about how brilliant he was.

84
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: He obviously thinks JJ's a sharp basketball mind. I so

85
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: I want to be fair here, but I also what

86
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: I owe the audience is honesty. This would be, in

87
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: my opinion, a great hire Dan Hurley.

88
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: He is.

89
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: There are two types of college basketball coaches, not just

90
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: two types, but super high level successful ones. One is

91
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: because they are just great recruiters, kind of like coach

92
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: Cal and the other is because they're obviously very good

93
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 2: recruiters but excellent tacticians. Dan Hurley seems more the latter

94
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: than the former. He is an excellent tactician, which is

95
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: why I would think it could translate to the NBA.

96
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 2: I would be pleasantly surprised if the Lakers end up

97
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: landing this plane. Do where I said I owe the

98
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 2: audience honesty. Do I honestly think that it is on

99
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: the board that the Lakers are floating. This not that

100
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: dissimilar to, Hey, they'd love Jason Kidd, who's under contract

101
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: coaching a team in the playoffs, and then he gets

102
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: an extension. Hey, they'd love of Tylou who's under contract

103
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: coaching a team with the richest owner in sports. And

104
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: that this is to play kate the fan base that

105
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: is underwhelmed by JJ Reddick potentially getting the job. Yeah,

106
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: I think that's on the board, and I so I

107
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: am not taking this report to mean Dan Hurley is

108
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: the next Lakers head coach. However, if he is the

109
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: next Lakers head coach, that's a great hire, a great hire.

110
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: And when the other candidates were James Brago, who did

111
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: a nice job with no talent in Charlotte but is

112
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: a little underwhelming. Sam Cassell would be a first time

113
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: head coach. JJ would be a first time anything coach.

114
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: And then you have a guy who was built a

115
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: dynasty in Yukon and is young, and is sharp, and

116
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: is great at developing players, has a brilliant mind for

117
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: offensive basketball. All of that is exciting. It is not

118
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: in the Genie Bus Lakers history that they are going

119
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: to pay a lot of money for a head coach,

120
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: that they are going to have long term commitments to

121
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: a head coach, So it would be going outside of

122
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: what they typically do. But I have been very critical

123
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: of Rob Po Lincoln, Genie Buss for a lot of things,

124
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: and for how they hire coaches, how they lowball coaches,

125
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: all of it. This would redeem a massive amount of that,

126
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: and this would be spending real money, making a big commitment.

127
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: I also, you know, call it because I think I

128
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: Lakers folks have been burned in the past by well

129
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 2: timed leaks of ah, we just quite didn't get it done.

130
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: I am a little skeptical of how close this is

131
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: to being a done deal. If it is. If it

132
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: does get done, it's a great hire, great hire for

133
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: the Lakers independent of Lebron. AD's young enough and under

134
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: the new CBA, as WoDES talked about, you really do

135
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: have to develop players. He's shown a great track record

136
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: of that at the collegiate level. I like everything about

137
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 2: the Dan Hurley hire I would like for the Lakers.

138
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: I am walking with some trepidation on whether or not

139
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: they actually think they are going to hire Dan Hurley,

140
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 2: or whether or not they simply want that to be

141
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: out there. So if they at some point hire JJ Reddick,

142
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: no one can accuse them of not shooting the moon,

143
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: not going not being willing to spend money, all those things.

144
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: So I the that is the to me, the Lakers

145
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: have front office has earned that level of skepticism. But

146
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: this would be a hell of a coup. And if

147
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: they get Dan Hurley, that's an excellent hire. Do you

148
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: have anything you want to follow up there on, demondsay?

149
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: Or do you want to get to the finals? It's

150
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: your call.

151
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: No, I mean we can get to we can get

152
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 3: to the If they do end up hiring JJ, is

153
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 3: that a step back?

154
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: Why? I think hired the guy coached above the Pop

155
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: Warner level? Uh? Is? I mean? The we have all

156
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: like it's been such a long process of them targeting JJ,

157
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: seemingly landing on JJ that everyone has just come to

158
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: accept it. When three months ago that would have been

159
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: an absurdity. If the if when Lebron and JJ's podcast launched,

160
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: when Darvinham was already on the hot seat, Someone's like, hey,

161
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: guess what that guy's going to be the next head

162
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, people would have been like,

163
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: you're out of your mind. But there's a bit of

164
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 2: a boiling frog paradigm going on here, where the temperature

165
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: has just been raised a degree at a time. Do

166
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: you know the boiling frog is frog's.

167
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: In at.

168
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 2: Exactly because the exactly because they just slowly keep raising

169
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: the temperature. It has been such a slow drip of

170
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 2: Oh JJ's a candidate. Oh JJ's getting an interview. Oh

171
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: JJ's the leading candidate. Oh in fact, they might have

172
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 2: picked JJ, but they're waiting for the finals to be over.

173
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: Oh JJ's filling out his staff. That everyone has just

174
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: come to accept the fact that JJ Reddick might be

175
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: the head coach of the Lakers. And so, yeah, it's

176
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: not the higher I would make, but Dan Hurley would

177
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 2: be great. We will see, we'll see what happens there.

178
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 2: And I didn't mean to be rude when I said,

179
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: are you familiar with the boiling frog things? Sometimes I

180
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: use these kind of a arcade.

181
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 3: No, no, no, that question is definitely necessary. Sometimes I

182
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: have no idea what you're talking about. At that time,

183
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: I didn't know what you.

184
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: Were talking Okay, all right, fair enough. And I feel

185
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: like the audience is in your seat a lot of

186
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: these times. So whenever I say something and I see

187
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: a look on your face. You're like, I'm not sure

188
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 2: what he's referring to him, Like, that's the same look

189
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 2: a lot of the audience as okay, good, all right,

190
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: let's get to the NBA Finals preview.

191
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 3: All right, So we've had a lot of time between

192
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: the Eastern and Western Conference finals to get to the finals,

193
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 3: with the gentlemen's sweep and the sweep on the East side,

194
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: and we're gonna get into We're going to zero in

195
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 3: on this game in a minute after a few games.

196
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: But with all the time off, do you think everybody's

197
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 3: bound to overreact to tonight's game?

198
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: Oh, no question about it. I mean, there's because it's

199
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: been so long since we had a basketball game to

200
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: date today, Tonight's game is going to feel disproportionately important.

201
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:13,479
Speaker 2: And I truly, I know this sounds ridiculous, but I

202
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: truly see a scenario where the MAVs lose tonight and

203
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: then win the next four. I'm not saying that is

204
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: the smartest prediction, but I think that we got used

205
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: to the MAVs winning game ones the last couple rounds.

206
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is Luca in his career.

207
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: Here's how game ones have gone for the MAVs. They

208
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: lost game one his first playoff series against the Clippers.

209
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 2: They then won game one the next year against the Clippers.

210
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: Then en route to the Western Armence Finals, they lost

211
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: game one to Utah, They lost game one to Phoenix,

212
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: They lost game one to Golden State. This year, they

213
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: lost game one to the Clippers. They lost game one

214
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: to OKC and then so it's not the last couple rounds.

215
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 2: And then obviously they dominated the Western Roumage Finals and

216
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: they won that. So there has always been with Luca

217
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: an element of the Lebron feel out game to game one,

218
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: which is obviously you're trying to win, but you are

219
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: diagnosingting what's going on? Yeah, exactly right, and you feel

220
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: like it's a long series and I don't have now.

221
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: Another factor of that is this is and this is remarkable.

222
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: Lucas played one, two, three, four, five, six, seven eight.

223
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: This is Luca's ninth career playoff series. Eight of those

224
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: nine times he has not had home court. They have

225
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: been the road team. The one time he had home

226
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: court advantage in a series, he missed the first two

227
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: home games. It's when he was injured against Utah a

228
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. So the other thing that happens

229
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: in these games is it's also less critical for the

230
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 2: MAVs in Lucas career to win game one because they

231
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: are the road team. You know, I know it's cliche,

232
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: but it's true. You take care of your home games

233
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 2: and then try to steal one on the road. So

234
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 2: I just I so I think there will be overreaction.

235
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: Here are the things, and I hope I'm not stepping

236
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: on the rest of the show, but here are the

237
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: things I am watching tonight. Who is the primary defender

238
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: on Kyrie Irving? I personally think it should be Drew

239
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: Holliday if I were the Celtics. And that's for two reasons. Now,

240
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: you could say we can have Derek White do it, right,

241
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: because Derek White's a good defender. If you have Derek

242
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: White do it and you do a Luca Kyrie pick

243
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 2: and roll and Derek White ends up on Luca, you're

244
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: in trouble. If you're Boston. You're in a lot of

245
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: trouble if you're Boston. Now, I don't think that Drew Luca,

246
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: Luca and Derek White. Oh, I just think Luca's too big.

247
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: I just think Luca would just back him to Dre.

248
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: Drew is way more and Drew's way more stout, and

249
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: I think Drew is a good enough defender that he

250
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: can really I don't want to say eliminate, but really

251
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: hamper Kyrie really hamper him and so, and you don't

252
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: really need Drew's offense. So I want to see what

253
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: that matchup is, and then I want to see in

254
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: the front court. Okay, so this is a little X's

255
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: and OZ and I will leave this typically to Zach

256
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: Lowe of Zach Lowe's and Kevin O'Connors of the world,

257
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: but it's the finals, so we can do it. For

258
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 2: a moment. I think that the Celtics are going to

259
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 2: put Chris STAPs on whomever they believe to be the Mavs'

260
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 2: least dangerous offensive player, so probably Derek Jones Junior. That way,

261
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: if Luca is trying to get Chris STAPs involved in

262
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 2: the action on a pick and roll, then his pick

263
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 2: and roll partner, instead of being Lively right or instead

264
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: of being PJ. Washington, is Derek Jones Junior, who is

265
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: probably the guy you least want to be operating offensively.

266
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: So I think that's an interesting one to watch. I'm

267
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: also curious who do you think demon is gonna be

268
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 2: guarding Luca? Jason Tate? And again, there's gonna be switches,

269
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 2: there's gonna be I understand all of that, but his

270
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: primary assignment, who do you think it's gonna be?

271
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: I got a funny feeling it will be Jayleen Brown.

272
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: I think it will be too, so I I the

273
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: question is will it be Tatum or Brown? Really? And

274
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 2: who do you who? Do you not mind their offense

275
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: getting sapped from to a degree because guarding Lucas is

276
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: gonna take away from your ability on offense? It just is. Now.

277
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown, I think is a touch better defensive player

278
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: than Jason Tatum. Jason dam is very good defensive player,

279
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 2: but I think Jayalen Brown's better. But Tatum is so

280
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: much taller that I wonder if Tatum wouldn't have more success.

281
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: But now, all of a sudden, this is where it

282
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 2: really does. There is some I don't want to say

283
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 2: ego management because that's because Tatum has been such a

284
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 2: great teammate and Tatum has conducted himself so well, but

285
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 2: there is this is I thought that the whole Oh

286
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 2: did Tatum celebrate Jalen's Eastern Conference Finals MVP enough was ridiculous.

287
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 2: I thought the idea that there is some battle between

288
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 2: Tatum and Brown, I haven't seen that. The only thing

289
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: I've seen over the years is maybe Jalen Brown being

290
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 2: understandably annoyed with yes that every offseason he's included in

291
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 2: trade rumors and zero off seasons Tatum is you know

292
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: what I mean? So I think there is there, but

293
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: I don't think between those two guys there's any issue.

294
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: With all that said, if you're Jason Tatum and you're

295
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: tasked with guarding Luca and all of a sudden that

296
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: leads to your offensive numbers being depressed, and then Jalen

297
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 2: Brown one Conference finals MVP, Jalen Brown is having the

298
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: best offensive series, you know, in the finals, that could

299
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 2: be a tricky spot, and so I'm really intrigued by that.

300
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 2: I'm also really intrigued by how I am not worried

301
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 2: about Luca in his first finals at all. This guy

302
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: was playing in EuroLeague tournaments with guys setting flares off

303
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 2: in the crowd when he was a teenager. He's not

304
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 2: gonna be intimidated. Kyrie is not going to be intimidated

305
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: everyone else on the MAVs. These are the biggest games

306
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: of their entire lives by a wide margin, wide margin.

307
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: The Celtics meanwhile, every single one of those guys except

308
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: for Chris STAPs was playing in these games two years ago,

309
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: and so so how does and I guess for Drew

310
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: it was three years ago, but still they've all been there.

311
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 2: How does that impact it? And then the last thing

312
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 2: is porzingis, which you know we'll get to in a bit,

313
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 2: but uh, all right, let's get to the next question. Demanse.

314
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we just talked about game one, but what

315
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 3: is your over what's your finals prediction? What do you

316
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 3: think will be the narrative of this series?

317
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: Oh? I think the narrative of the series is going

318
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 2: to be Luka Ancic is one of the greatest offensive

319
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: players in the history of the league. I do. I

320
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: think Luca is going to full blown control every possession

321
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: that he wants to. It is going to be not

322
00:21:52,760 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: that dissimilar from Lebron twenty fifteen against the Warriors. The

323
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: ball is just always in his hands and he is

324
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: making every decision, with the distinction being this Celtics team

325
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: is not quite as good as that twenty to fifteen

326
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: Warriors team, and Kyrie Irving God Willing isn't gonna break

327
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 2: his kneecap in Game one, and that when Luca needs

328
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: to take possessions off, Kyrie can go cook. But I

329
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: think that you are going to see Luca dissecting a

330
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 2: great defense, as he has throughout his entire playoff career.

331
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: So that is the other aspect of this that I

332
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 2: think is noteworthy on a Luca history standpoint, Luca has

333
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 2: only played against great defenses in his postseason career. In

334
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: his first ever playoffs, and this I think an underrated

335
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: fact about him first ever playoffs, he's playing a fully

336
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: healthy Clippers team that that season was the number five

337
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 2: defense in the NBA. His second ever playoffs, he's playing

338
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 2: against a fully healthy Clippers team that was number eight

339
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 2: in the NBA and Chris DAPs got hurt in it.

340
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: His third playoff season, in round one, he's playing against

341
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 2: a Utah team that has the now four time Defensive

342
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: Player of the Year who was the number nine defense

343
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 2: in basketball, then a Phoenix team that that year was

344
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: the number three defense in basketball, then a Warriors team

345
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 2: that that year was the number two defense in basketball.

346
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: This year in the postseason, he has gone and I'm

347
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 2: doing the per one hundred, I'm doing true defensive numbers.

348
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 2: In the first round for the first time in his career,

349
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: he got a break defensively because the Clippers were below

350
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 2: average at number eighteen. Then in round two they played

351
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: the thunder who were the number four defense. In round

352
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 2: three they played the Timberwolves, who were the number one defense.

353
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: So Luca has gone up against in his postseason career,

354
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 2: and now they're playing Boston, who's the number three defense.

355
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 2: In nine series, he's gone up against eight top ten

356
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: defenses and five top five defenses, and he has put

357
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: up his historic postseason numbers. And so I listen, I

358
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 2: listened to you know legend of the podcast game Bill

359
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: Simmons tried to talk himself into the idea that we

360
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: should just throw away what the MAVs did against the

361
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 2: Timberwolves for reasons that never really got explained. Everyone needs

362
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: to remember the way the Timberwolves were being discussed and

363
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: the way that defense was being discussed from a historic

364
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: standpoint during and after the Nugget series, and Luca eviscerated them,

365
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 2: absolutely eviscerated them, and now he gets a chance to

366
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: do it against Boston and the Thunder and Boston had

367
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 2: a lot of similarities this year. This year on defense,

368
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: Boston three, Oklahoma City four. On offense, Boston won Oklahoma

369
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: City three on three point percentage. This season, Oklahoma City

370
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 2: won Boston two very similar teams, and Kyrie in that

371
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: series averaged sixteen points per game and the MAVs won

372
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,719
Speaker 2: in six, and that included giving Game four away. So

373
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: I understand what the Vegas odds are, but for me

374
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 2: not to take the best player in a series, it

375
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 2: needs to be a very lopsided situation that is not this.

376
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: It appears to be this because Boston had sixty four

377
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 2: wins in Dallas had fifty. But once Dallas got these

378
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: players at the trade deadline and started running with this

379
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 2: starting five, they have the top defense in basketball. They

380
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 2: have a record of a sixty five win team. So

381
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 2: I think the matchups dead even. And if it's dead

382
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: even and one player has a guy who's going to

383
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: go down as one of the greatest offensive players in

384
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: the history of the sport and he is seemingly getting

385
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 2: healthier and peaking, I'm gonna go with them. I know

386
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: that this is, you know, not your thoughts on the

387
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 2: finals to Monday, your your so I'm curious before we

388
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 2: move on to anything else, your thoughts on your Celtics,

389
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: your confidence level in this series compared to the last

390
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 2: finals they were in, and what you think needs to

391
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: happen for Boston to win.

392
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 3: Well. I obviously have the Celtics. I obviously I said

393
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: that they could get it done in six. I think

394
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 3: that what they need to do is just just play

395
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 3: team basketball and not get in those funks where I

396
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 3: think we just need to avoid the Celtic thing that

397
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 3: we do with the turnovers late in games. I don't know, man,

398
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 3: I think that uh where you guys and you in

399
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 3: the in the Mavericks played a tired Timberwolves team. This

400
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 3: team isn't tired. I think, like I said before, I

401
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 3: just think we're way too deep defensively for Luke to

402
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 3: be able to keep that up and beat us in

403
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 3: a seven game series, and the and Porzingias isn't injured anymore.

404
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 3: So like, honestly, with that, I felt pretty fine without him,

405
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,239
Speaker 3: but with him there, that's that's just that much more

406
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 3: icing on the cake. But uh, but yeah, I'm not nervous.

407
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 2: You mentioned at all. Oh, you don't sound nervous. So

408
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: you mentioned uh luke and not being able to dissect it.

409
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 2: So here's an interesting one. Here are the all time

410
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: leaders in NBA Finals points per game. Rick Berry is

411
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: number one at thirty six a game. Michael Jordan is

412
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: number two at thirty three and a half. Jerry West

413
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 2: is number three at thirty. Kevin Duran is number four

414
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: at just at thirty as well. Shaq is number five

415
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: at twenty eight point eight. Lebron is number six at

416
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 2: twenty eight point four. Now there's a few other guys

417
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: who would be on that list if they had played

418
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: more than four or five Finals games, like Iverson's at

419
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: like I think thirty five, but he only played five games. Uh.

420
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 2: Giannis is I think in the mid thirties, but he

421
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: only played six games. Right, Uh, how many points per

422
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 2: game do you think? And well, we're gonna get to

423
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: this later, but I'll just ask you here, how many

424
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 2: points per game do you think Luca is going to

425
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: average in this series?

426
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: In this series? Yeah, I mean yeah, oh god, give

427
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 3: him thirty three, thirty four.

428
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 2: Thirty right, So that so I I would as well.

429
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: So that is he is going to leave this series

430
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: potentially behind only ahead of Michael Jordan in career finals

431
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: points per game. It's gonna be tough to beat them.

432
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: It just is. I'm not saying it can't be done.

433
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: But if that well, you said five less rings. Oh

434
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 2: a little Freudian slip. You didn't say six less rings. Oh,

435
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 2: Demonse's already nervous. All right, Oh, let's uh, you have

436
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 2: a follow up question here about I think about Jason

437
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: Tatum and then we'll move on.

438
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this series seems like it could be a

439
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: referendum on Jason Tatum. He admitted to feeling the pressure

440
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: on media day. So do you think by the end

441
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 3: of this series that he'll prove himself to be a

442
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 3: top five guy?

443
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: So listen, I he is not tell me anythink this

444
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 2: is unfair. He is not better by it. There is

445
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: no way you could make the argument he is better

446
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: than Luca, Djok or Jannis. No matter what happens in

447
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 2: this series, we are not gonna leave this series thinking

448
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 2: he's better than any of those three guys. Do you

449
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 2: agree with that?

450
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe Luca, depending on like, if you know,

451
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 3: something crazy could happen in this series. And Tatum just

452
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 3: gets that thirty five that you're talking about, and Lucas

453
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 3: the easy twenty.

454
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 2: Sure, I guess Luca would have to I think Tatum

455
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 2: would have to average thirty five and Luca would have

456
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: to be bad. And I just can't fathom Luca being bad.

457
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: But so let's just say those three guys are gonna

458
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: be ahead of him. Then you have this next bucket

459
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: of players. Joel Embiid, Jason Tatum, Shay, Anthony Edwards, Anthony Davis.

460
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: Would I think be in that bucket? Is there anybody

461
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 2: that I'm forgetting that would? I won't even put Lebron

462
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 2: in there because Lebron's probably, at this point in his

463
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 2: career in that next bucket right beneath it. Uh, Jalen Brunson,

464
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: I guess you, out of respect him, put him in

465
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 2: that bucket, all right, He's somewhere in there, right Like,

466
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: if somebody said he's better than Embiid, I would say, Okay,

467
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying. I that Embiid he doesn't

468
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 2: have the regular season accolades of Embiid, But Embiid's health

469
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 2: plus his postseason issues, you want to say that that's fine? Right?

470
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: So if you now, if somebody said he's better than Shae,

471
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: I would listen to him. I think Shay was better

472
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: this season, but you can, you know what I mean,

473
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 2: you can make that argument. So my point on it now,

474
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: if somebody said postseason stuff, be damned, Embiid average thirty

475
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: four a game, won the MVP, then had a better season,

476
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: I think Embid's better than Tatum, even if you disagreed

477
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 2: with it. That's a credible argument that people are allowed

478
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 2: to have that opinion. And if somebody said Shae's younger

479
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: than him and better than him and had a better

480
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 2: season this year than Tatum's ever had, that's an allowable argument.

481
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: So my point is this, Jason Tatum, and maybe folks

482
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: don't like to hear this, but it's what I think

483
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: is honest, is at best the fourth best player in

484
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: the league, at absolute best, and at worst the eighth

485
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: best player in this league kind of no matter what

486
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 2: happens in these finals, like, he needs to do more

487
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 2: for multiple seasons to change that. And that is not

488
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: an indictment, that is not being unfair, that is not

489
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 2: shortchanging him. And so I just feel like that's who

490
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 2: he is and where he is now. There is a

491
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 2: different We had this on the show yesterday, which is

492
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: guys stars to lose their first two finals and you

493
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: know then what it looks like for them. Other than Lebron,

494
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: none of those guys ended up being the best player

495
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: on a champion. You have Clyde Drexler who lost his

496
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 2: first two finals then went and joined the keem and

497
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 2: by the way, the Clyde comp and Jason Tatum comp

498
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 2: career wise, accolades wise. There's a lot of I think

499
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 2: fair similarities there. And then there's a Jerry West, you know,

500
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,399
Speaker 2: lost his first nine finals or eight finals and then

501
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: won a championship at the end. It's also a little weird.

502
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 2: You look confused by that demonse. They just kept running

503
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 2: into the Celtics fan. Yeah, yeah, they just kept running

504
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 2: in Yeah, Jerry West kept running into the Celtics. It's

505
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 2: a wild situation. Poor Jerry West. A quick Jerry West,

506
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: little history lesson if we may. Jerry West lost finals

507
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 2: under the following circumstances. He lost the nineteen sixty two

508
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: finals in seven games, averaging thirty one and five. He

509
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: lost the let me go to the next really brutal

510
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: one for him. He lost the nineteen sixty six finals

511
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: in seven games, averaging thirty four and six, and by

512
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 2: by he lost two finals in the between those, by

513
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: the way, when he was just good but not unbelievable. Also,

514
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 2: it should be noted that nineteen sixty six finals that

515
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 2: he lost in game seven, which was his fourth consecutive

516
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 2: finals lost. Game seven was decided by two points. The

517
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty two finals, which he lost, which his first

518
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 2: finals lost, Game seven was decided by three points. He

519
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: lost then the so here's West finals career if I

520
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 2: made just quickly nineteen sixty two, lost in seven, nineteen

521
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: sixty three, lost in six, nineteen sixty five, lost in five,

522
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty six, lost in seven, And I'm not saying

523
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 2: who he lost to, because every single time the answer

524
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: is Bill Russell. Nineteen sixty eight, lost in six, nineteen

525
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 2: sixty nine average demonse. Jerry West in those finals averaged

526
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: thirty eight, five and seven. Lost in seven, and yes,

527
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 2: you guessed it, Game seven was decided by two points.

528
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: Nineteen seventy lost in seven to the Knicks after Russell retired.

529
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 2: That was the famous Willis Reid comes limping onto the

530
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 2: court game. And then finally Jerry West nineteen seventy two

531
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 2: one an NBA Finals against the Knicks. In those finals,

532
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: he averaged twenty points per game. In his previous seven

533
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 2: finals losses Screw, he averaged thirty five points per game.

534
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 2: I mean, that's isn't that brutal? Can you imagine being

535
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 2: that great Demons and every year you make the finals

536
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: and every year you just lose to the same team

537
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 2: and it's usually in seven games, in a one possession game. Yeah,

538
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 2: That's how Jerry West's finals career went one in eight

539
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: in the finals, lost his first seven trips. With that said,

540
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 2: Tatum's not up against a Bill Russell, and he's not

541
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: Jerry West, and he's he's not gonna make sense. He's

542
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 2: not gonna get nine opportunities there. And so that Jerry

543
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 2: West is also the guy who took a shot at

544
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick. It was so funny when JJ did the

545
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 2: plumbers and they were all plumbers. Oh yeah, fireman back there.

546
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

547
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 2: Jerry West is like, at some point you got to

548
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 2: have a resume, young man. He's like, check mine, because

549
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 2: I was a badass. At some point. You need I

550
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: need you to go ahead and actually have some accolades

551
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 2: before you say we were all plumbers and firemen because

552
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 2: you know, I my name's Jerry West, and I once

553
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 2: hit a sixty foot shot to force overtime of a

554
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: finals game that happened down down two because there was

555
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 2: no line inbound the ball with one second left and

556
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 2: just heaved from the right path the free throw line net.

557
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: Let's go to over, tim, I mean yeah, I mean

558
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: he's ah and so I don't know why we did

559
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 2: all whole Jerry West retrospective, but we did. But point is,

560
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 2: losing your first two finals is the best player traditionally

561
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: does not bode well. Lebron turned it around. Most guys haven't. Also,

562
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 2: I said I was gonna do a fast show and

563
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 2: I just did ten minutes on Jerry West.

564
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 3: Okay, next, Yeah, So chat, Remember drop your finals questions

565
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 3: in the chat and we'll get to them at the

566
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 3: end of the show. Maybe bigger question. The biggest question

567
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 3: mark of the series is porzingis. He hasn't played since

568
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 3: April after suffering that calf injury, but he's now set

569
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,720
Speaker 3: to play in Game one. Should the Celtics be worried

570
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 3: that our number three option is our biggest question mark

571
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 3: and not datum?

572
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 2: Well? So, I here's where well, I don't think he's

573
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 2: the key, but I do think he is the biggest

574
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: question mark. And I this is where the Celtics take

575
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 2: making care of the Pacers. Pardon me as quickly as

576
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: they did. Kind of worked against them, because I would

577
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 2: have liked if I were Boston to get Tate, to

578
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: get Chris STAPs on the court in a real game

579
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,919
Speaker 2: a little bit like this. The MAVs Maxi Kliba, who

580
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: is actually an important part of their rotation, good defensively,

581
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 2: can stretch the court. He suffered that shoulder injury that

582
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: you suffered Demons, and then came back for a few

583
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 2: minutes in Game four against Minnesota and then more minutes

584
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 2: in Game five to knock the rust off. So I

585
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 2: do think that is a tricky, interesting wrinkle of what

586
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 2: will Christaps look like? All Right, I don't even want

587
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 2: to do the Lebron Kyrie thing because this unless that's

588
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 2: a bummer for you. Do you really want me to

589
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 2: do it? I'd rather the go ahead.

590
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 3: It's it's it's it's I mean, yeah, let's do it.

591
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. So a free agent to be Lebron James

592
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 3: told his potential future coach, JJ Reddick that he is

593
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 3: so mad that he's not Kyrie's running mate anymore. Kyrie

594
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 3: came back and saying that he misses playing with Lebron. Yeah,

595
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 3: so Lebron's comments on Kyrie are likely maybe what if

596
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 3: what's going on?

597
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 2: So they're likely. They're likely just the truth that Lebron

598
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 2: Lebron never wanted. If you remember when Kyrie demanded the

599
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 2: trade out of Cleveland, Lebron said, just don't trade him,

600
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 2: just call his bluff, don't trade him. The Cavs didn't

601
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 2: traded him. Also, Lebron twice last year tried to get

602
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,959
Speaker 2: the Lakers to acquire Kyrie and they didn't. So it's

603
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: likely just the truth. Maybe it is attempting to set

604
00:40:54,400 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 2: the groundwork for them playing together again one day, but

605
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: the MAVs I think had too much success for that

606
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 2: to be realistic. If the MAVs had gotten clipped by

607
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 2: the Thunder, then I would have thought Lebron joining the

608
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 2: MAVs was like on the board. But I don't think

609
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: Lebron's going to join a team that either just won

610
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 2: the championship or just made the finals, you know what

611
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 2: I mean? And then I don't even know what the

612
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 2: what if is, But so I just I don't think.

613
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 2: What if Lebron goes and joins the MAVs. I suppose,

614
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: but I don't think that's gonna happen. Go ahead.

615
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 3: What would have happened if Kyrie would have just never

616
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 3: been like you know one in the show to himself,

617
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 3: like we're at him, Lebron be this day?

618
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 2: Well, right, so it would have been intriguing. Would Lebron

619
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 2: have ended up at leaving Cleveland when he did, I

620
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 2: don't know. Would the Lakers have been able to beat

621
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen Warriors.

622
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't know a dynasty anymore.

623
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 2: Right, there's a lot of real This is one of

624
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: one of my biggest sporting frustrations is that when Durant

625
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 2: wanted to leave OKAC, he didn't just pick Boston. It

626
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 2: would have just been so perfect because you would have

627
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 2: had Lebron and Kyrie and Cleveland, Steph Clay and Draymond

628
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 2: and Golden State KD and Boston with what they were building,

629
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 2: Harden still in Houston with what he's building, and you'd

630
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 2: have this, you know, kind of quartet, Harden a lesser guy,

631
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 2: all competing. And I think if that would have happened

632
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 2: if Kad would have just picked the Celtics. My guess

633
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:51,479
Speaker 2: is from seventeen, eighteen and nineteen, Lebron and Kyrie get

634
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 2: one more, Stephen Clay get one more and Durant figures

635
00:42:56,520 --> 00:43:00,280
Speaker 2: it out some way and gets one. But then all also,

636
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 2: the ring math for that era makes so much more sense.

637
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, in this you know, in this time,

638
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: Lebron got to Steph got uh, Steph got to right, Yeah,

639
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: Steph got to Durant got one. For their careers. You know,

640
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 2: up until this last five years it had been Durant one,

641
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 2: Steph two, Lebron four, which is really what the hierarchy

642
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 2: probably should be, all of those things. But Steph and

643
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 2: Katie coming together, to me, threw the whole thing off.

644
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 2: But whatever it is, what it is. All right, We're

645
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 2: gonna do some gambling and play some games next What's Right?

646
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 2: All right? Welcome back in What's Right with Nick Right?

647
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 2: Episode two forty two Demons? What are we doing here?

648
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 4: So?

649
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think that this finals will be the

650
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 3: last sporting event that you bet on until maybe the

651
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 3: NFL futures.

652
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 2: That's a good question. No, I'll bet, I mean, i'll

653
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 2: bet some US Open tennis. Uh, because I like betting

654
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 2: while I'm there. I like getting in the stands, getting

655
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 2: a feel, seeing what's what, seeing if I can get

656
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 2: a little edge, I'll do that. I might as the

657
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 2: baseball season evolves, bet a few Royals games. I'm I might.

658
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 2: I've been watching a lot of Royals games. I'm not sure.

659
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna bet. I'm not gonna bet the WNBA,

660
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 2: even though Adam Lefko, friend of the show, friend of ours,

661
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 2: is like the sharpest WNBA better that's ever existed. He

662
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 2: we have a group chat me, him and Danny Parkins,

663
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 2: and he just sends these WNBA bets and never I mean,

664
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 2: he's got to be at seventy ats on these WNBA

665
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 2: like player props. It's unbelievable. And I don't I may

666
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 2: or may not bet the Olympics. So there'll be some things.

667
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 3: But go ahead, Okay, Well sounds like we should cook

668
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 3: some bets up.

669
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

670
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 3: In the meantime, say you know, keep you keep you

671
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 3: held over. So today we're gonna play chef right, Okay,

672
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 3: and it's uh, oh, look at that. It's one of

673
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,879
Speaker 3: the most important times for our restaurant. Chef Right the

674
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 3: NBA Finals, it's time to set the menu for our

675
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 3: five course meal. So we got some orders here to

676
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 3: kick to kick off our menu, we want to get

677
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 3: the attention of our patrons, so why not spice things

678
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 3: up immediately and predict the exact series length. We know

679
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 3: you're picking Dallas, but how they win?

680
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 2: So I've said Dallas in five. So Dallas in five

681
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 2: at twelve to one is I like the value of it? Now?

682
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 2: Would I be better off just betting Dallas in each

683
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 2: individual game? I don't know. But if I am, if

684
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 2: I'm doing the if I'm doing a a specific series bet,

685
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 2: I would go Dallas in five. Dallas in six is

686
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 2: gonna be a very popular pick. But that's why it's

687
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 2: only plus five point fifty. Dallas in five at twelve

688
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 2: to one. I like, go ahead next?

689
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,399
Speaker 3: That is insane? All right, So far, advertiser, Let's see

690
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 3: what Kyrie can cook up from deep m hmm, all.

691
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 2: Right, So here are the options over under two and

692
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 2: a half. Three pointers made per game at minus one

693
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 2: fifteen five plus threes in any game at minus one,

694
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 2: twenty two plus threes in all games at plus three fifty.

695
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 2: I so two and a half threes per game. Is

696
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 2: he gonna average three made threes a game? I don't know.

697
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: I I think under two and a half have three

698
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: pointers made on average for the series is actually the

699
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 2: smart bet. I don't think this is gonna be a

700
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 2: huge Kyrie series. So I know that those seemed kind

701
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 2: of in conflict with Dallas and five. Uh, but then

702
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 2: if he has one huge, yeah, I think this. If

703
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 2: I'm being honest, I think the smart bet is under

704
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,760
Speaker 2: two and a half three pointers made per game for Kyrie.

705
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 2: So that's the one I would bet there.

706
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 3: Next, Yes, shift salads are green, Celtics are green. Checks out.

707
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 3: Let's look at what Tatum and Brown can bring to

708
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 3: the table.

709
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:44,240
Speaker 2: All right, So over under two point six three pointers

710
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: per game for Tatum, over under twenty seven point two

711
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 2: points per game for Tatum, over under twenty three point

712
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 2: two points per game for Jalen Brown, and those are

713
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,720
Speaker 2: all minus one fifteen on both sides, and they twenty

714
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 2: plus points in all games for Jalen Brown at plus

715
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 2: three fifty, I do not so I really like under

716
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 2: twenty seven point two points per game for Jason Tatum.

717
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,800
Speaker 2: I just don't think he's gonna average twenty seven and

718
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,720
Speaker 2: a half points per game in these finals. I think that, yeah,

719
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 2: what's up?

720
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 3: But Brown to score twenty twenty plus each game?

721
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:33,720
Speaker 2: After the game, well yeah not to No, No, because

722
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 2: so there's a first and let me finish the Tatum

723
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 2: point real quick. Tatum is last Finals averaged twenty one

724
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 2: points per game. But here's the problem for the Jalen

725
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 2: Brown thing. If there's a blowout, he might not get

726
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 2: the minutes you know what I mean in order to

727
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 2: get to twenty, especially if they're getting blown out. Also,

728
00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:02,879
Speaker 2: here is Jalen Brown this postseason points seventeen thirty three,

729
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 2: twenty two, seventeen twenty five. That's round one, round two,

730
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:14,439
Speaker 2: thirty two, nineteen twenty eight, twenty seven eleven, Round three

731
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 2: twenty six forty twenty four to twenty nine. That makes

732
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 2: me like the bet even less because he hasn't had

733
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 2: a down game in a while. So no, the plus

734
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 2: three fifties not good enough odds for me to like

735
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 2: him to be able to hit twenty plus in every game.

736
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 3: Next, Yes, chef, we know this is what you. We know,

737
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 3: this is what you and everybody came here for. So

738
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 3: let's get everybody what they want. The main course, can

739
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 3: be served with a pack of SIGs and beer. What

740
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 3: will Luca do?

741
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 2: All right? So lead this series in threes at even money,

742
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: be the Finals MVP at plus two five, average a

743
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 2: triple double at plus twelve hundred, and then there's a

744
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 2: secret item of him to record a triple double in

745
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 2: every game at plus twenty thousand. There is only one

746
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 2: of these bets being offered to me that I like,

747
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 2: and that's Finals MVP at plus two oh five. I

748
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 2: am you know I would have. I think his projected

749
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 2: points are like thirty one and a half. I actually

750
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 2: like the over there. I think this is going to

751
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,439
Speaker 2: be a huge Lucas scoring series. I don't think he's

752
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 2: going to average a triple double. I think he'll come

753
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 2: just short of it. But I like him to have

754
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: Finals MVP at plus two oh five A lot, all right?

755
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 3: Next? Okay, so for dessert, why don't we jump into

756
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 3: some NFL bets, some sweet NFL bets. At that sweet,

757
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 3: I actually mean revolting. Which one of these backups has

758
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 3: a chance to start?

759
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 2: So it's Zach Wilson to take the Broncos first snap

760
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 2: at plus four fifty, justin Fields to take the Steelers

761
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 2: first snap at plus four fifty and Drew Lock to

762
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 2: take the Giants first snap at plus two seventy five.

763
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:19,240
Speaker 2: I the Drew Lock things interesting because Daniel Jeremiah seemed

764
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 2: to let the cat out of the bag a few

765
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 2: weeks ago about the Giants really leaning towards Drew Lock.

766
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 2: But I think Justin Fields is gonna win that job,

767
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 2: and so I think Justin Fields. If they were the

768
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 2: same odds, I'd go Lock. But Lock is only plus

769
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 2: two seventy five and Fields is plus four fifty. So

770
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 2: I will go with Fields at plus four fifty as

771
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 2: a little early season. I'm Zach Wilson's not. I mean,

772
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 2: it's gonna be bon Nicks. It has to be Bonnicks

773
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,240
Speaker 2: for the Broncos. I don't love Bonix, but it's gotta

774
00:51:56,280 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 2: be Bonicks. All right, We've got listener questions. Plus, there

775
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 2: is an F one race this weekend, which means we

776
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 2: have our F one minute coming up. That's all next,

777
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 2: do you have something else to monsay? I saw you

778
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 2: put your finger up? Was that for F one? Okay?

779
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 2: Got it? All right? That's our F one minute and

780
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 2: your questions next? What's right? All right? Welcome back in

781
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 2: If you didn't see us last week. We are introducing

782
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 2: a new segment on Thursdays before races and Tuesdays after races,

783
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 2: called the F one Minute. My goddaughter, Sierra is an

784
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 2: aspiring sports journalist. She loves F one. I know nothing

785
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 2: about it. I was told we need to incorporate F

786
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 2: one coverage, so I had her do it. Now. The

787
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 2: way we are doing this is you guys are going

788
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 2: to see her evolution as a journalist as we go.

789
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 2: So she sends these in I give no no notes,

790
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 2: We play them, and then I give notes after the fact.

791
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 2: So the notes I gave her after her last one

792
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 2: were the following one is introduce yourself. You didn't say

793
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 2: who you were. The second one was because of how

794
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 2: you're recording it. iPhone does the mirror image, so don't

795
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 2: have words on a sign behind you, because it can

796
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 2: be distracting to the audience, like it's weird if you

797
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,879
Speaker 2: record on your iPhone sometimes it shows I don't understand why.

798
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 2: But the reverse and she had a sign, she had

799
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 2: a poster or something on the wall, but behind her

800
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 2: last time, and we saw the backwards and the last

801
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 2: thing I said was don't be afraid to show personality

802
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,759
Speaker 2: and give your picks. So we will see how she

803
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 2: took those notes all together as we get ready for

804
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 2: an F one race this weekend. That I'll be honest,

805
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 2: I don't know where it is. I do know I

806
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 2: said I I picked a favorite driver. I forgot who

807
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 2: my favorite driver was that I said I picked. Maybe

808
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 2: Ker can help me out. Uh, Carlos sains that's my guy.

809
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 2: I'm a Carlos Saines guy. Uh. And because we know

810
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 2: that the one guy dominates the F one circuit h

811
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 2: and so it felt like, you know what, it's not

812
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 2: really fun to root for him. So here is F

813
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 2: one minute number two with Sierra hit it.

814
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 4: Hi guys, my name is Sierra and it's very sweek.

815
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 4: I'm so excited to bring you this week's rendition of

816
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 4: F one minute. So there's been a lot of important

817
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 4: headlines leading up to the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend

818
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 4: and regarding you know, driver contracts and extensions, one of

819
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 4: them being Socio Perez who actually extended his contract with

820
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 4: Red Bull all the way until twenty twenty six. But

821
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 4: on the other hand, we had Subon Akoon who actually

822
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 4: has decided to part wiz with the Alpine team at

823
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,919
Speaker 4: the end of the twenty twenty four seasons, so there's

824
00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 4: a lot of things, you know, up in the air,

825
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:05,760
Speaker 4: you know, especially with Carlos Signs and Lewis Hamilton taking

826
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 4: a seat in FERI for twenty twenty five. But as

827
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 4: far as racing gets concerned, I think we're in for

828
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 4: a real treat this weekend with long straights, three day raisons,

829
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 4: the tight chit canes, the slow speed corners, but there's

830
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 4: also a high chance of rain for pretty much the

831
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 4: entire weekend. So with all that being said, we'll definitely

832
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 4: be on the edge of our seats watching this race

833
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 4: this weekend, and I think they'll definitely be a battle

834
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 4: towards the front of the field, especially with Max Verstappens

835
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 4: leading the Constructors Championship starting to dwindle and the gap

836
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 4: is legging tighter and tighter. I'm really excited to see

837
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:45,439
Speaker 4: some overtakes happening, especially with last year's race we had

838
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 4: a total of twenty on track overtakes, so I'm sure

839
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 4: there will be a lot of action this weekend. And

840
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,479
Speaker 4: as far as my predictions go, and no specific order,

841
00:55:56,080 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 4: i think I'm gonna go Carlos signs Max Staffing and

842
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 4: Charles the Clerk as our top four finishers on the

843
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 4: race this Sunday, So we'll see where that goes. But

844
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 4: that's all I've got for the F one minute this week.

845
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 4: I'll see you on Tuesday.

846
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 2: Oh I like that flourish at the end. Well done,

847
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 2: all right, So I learned a lot there. First of all,

848
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 2: I still don't yet totally understand what this Constructor's Cup

849
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 2: thing is. It sounds like that's the points awarded to

850
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:32,240
Speaker 2: your pit crew. I don't totally know. I'm not quite certain. Also,

851
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what DRS means. But I did figure

852
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 2: out just from that F one minute overtakes must simply

853
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 2: mean you were ahead of me. Now I'm ahead of you.

854
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 2: And Sierra said in this race last year there were

855
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 2: twenty overtakes during the race, so I guess they don't

856
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 2: happen that often. I don't know. I'm learning along like

857
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 2: you guys, and it's in Canada, so the time zone

858
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 2: won't be a problem. I'll watch this weekend. And she

859
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,439
Speaker 2: had my guy Carlos in our top four.

860
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, demanse, I think she did that so she

861
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 3: could get a good grade.

862
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:04,320
Speaker 2: There's no grades.

863
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 3: Or yeah good, but no, it was awesome evaluation. I saw,

864
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 3: I saw the improvement from the last time, so it

865
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 3: was it was really dope.

866
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, we might have gone too minimalistic on the background.

867
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 2: We might have overcorrected there, but the personality was coming

868
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 2: through also though, and the you know, she'll learn this

869
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 2: as she goes on. We need we need a meteor prediction.

870
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 2: Then here's the top four in no order, like I

871
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,959
Speaker 2: need a back back back. But let's see how those

872
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 2: top four actually do. I was glad to hear my a.

873
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 2: I didn't know all those things about the contract extensions,

874
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 2: all of that. That was exciting. That was great. All right,

875
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 2: let's get to these questions.

876
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 3: Demansey Curtis Matthews asked, who do you have winning a

877
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 3: seven game series between the twenty eleven finals Mavericks or

878
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 3: this year's finals Mavericks.

879
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 2: This year's Finals Mavericks with respect to Dirk and Jay Kidd.

880
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 2: This year's Finals Mavericks, I think is a better team.

881
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 3: Next then they both beat Lebron.

882
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 2: Well, this Mavericks team didn't beat Lebron. They didn't play Lebron.

883
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 2: Lebron lost to the Nuggets unfortunately, But Yes, the twenty

884
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 2: eleven MAVs would Lebron? Oh would they have? Well? That

885
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 2: was a weird Listen, that was Lebron's one true failure

886
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 2: of his career. Like, I was Lebron going to have

887
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 2: that type of kind of short circuiting for the final

888
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 2: three games of the finals against anybody? I don't know.

889
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 2: Like if they were, then a lot of teams would

890
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 2: have ended up beating them.

891
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 3: Next, Connor Leland asked, if Celtics wins, should Lebron join

892
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 3: the MAVs? Can they do that financially? In draft Brony.

893
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 3: I think media will be fine with it because he

894
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 3: wouldn't be joining a team that has won anything.

895
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 2: No, Well, I listen, I don't know the media would

896
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 2: be fine with The media is not gonna be really

897
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 2: fine with an Lebron does. I'd love to see Lebron

898
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 2: leave the Lakers. It's unlikely he does. I think the

899
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 2: Sixers are the one team that could add him, compete

900
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 2: and pay him. Every other team he'd have to be

901
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 2: joining for close to the league minimum that has a

902
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 2: real chance to compete.

903
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 3: Next, Nick Wright muse, if Dallas wins, do you promise

904
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 3: to join Celtics? Twitter Space after the last game.

905
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 2: Oh, that would be fun. Yeah, I think I'd love

906
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 2: to do that. I don't know if there's Twitter space

907
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 2: community is as vibrant as the Warriors one is, but yeah,

908
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 2: I'd love to do that. Producers ask there's a Nick

909
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 2: Wright muse Yeah, check it out on Twitter. He's got

910
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 2: a great account. He also just tweeted earlier today just

911
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 2: to prove I'm not a sick of fan. I think

912
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 2: the Celtics role in this series. So it's a bad

913
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 2: take by him, but yeah, it's a good account, all right.

914
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 3: Next, thanks stick right views. Case Wageman said, don't know

915
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 3: if he ever did the all Time Cinematic Dog Rankings

916
00:59:56,680 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 3: from a few weeks ago. But Balto is one, right,

917
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 3: Who's Balto?

918
01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 2: Balto dog? I don't know who is Balto. I've never

919
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 2: heard of Boto, so I don't know who that is.

920
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 2: Why is Balto famous in not Togo?

Speaker 2: Like I I saw this on Twitter to uh that

934
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 2: that's a nay. And also, I understand this is one

935
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 2: of the reasons this podcast doesn't go viral as much

936
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 2: to his other podcasts. But with respect to my wonderful

937
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 2: producers who I adore and who helped the show, I

938
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 2: do not enjoy responding to the dummish that was on

939
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 2: the internet this week. I understand that is like the

940
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 2: skeleton key to viral podcast success for everyone else. I'm

941
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 2: just not gonna do it. Like, hey, like anyone got

942
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 2: a thought on the guy who was driving to the

943
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 2: to court or did a zoom call with an expired license.

944
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 2: Oh wait, he didn't have an expired license. Oh wait,

945
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 2: he never had a license. I don't give a shit

946
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 2: about those things. I think it is actually it is

947
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 2: part of the ruination of all of us. What'd you say?

948
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 3: I think that got arrested yesterday though.

949
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, everyone is just we're just all

950
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 2: getting dumber. And it's like the and like the and

951
01:01:56,680 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 2: so many of these things that are like crazy, and

952
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 2: it's infuriating also because it's like, oh my god, look

953
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 2: at this clip of this horrible racism on an airplane,

954
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 2: and it's like, this is the worst group of actors

955
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 2: in a skit I've ever seen. Yes, it's obviously fake,

956
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 2: and it's just created to dupe Rubes and to tear

957
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 2: our country apart. And then it's like, hey, here is

958
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 2: the most revolting food item I can ever think of.

Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this is a family tradition of mine,

960
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 2: and it's gonna get sixteen thousand quote tweets and then

961
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 2: Steve and A's gonna rip it apart on his show.

962
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:46,520

963
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,360

964
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:50,720
