00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: The Bearded one is getting in a little getaway with

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: the family before the restart in Orlando. I believe they're

00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: staying in a yurt tonight. Trey Kirby in a yurt.

13
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: Easy to picture, if I'm being honest, very easy to picture.

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: Yes, that's true.

15
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 4: That's true.

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, no TK today. He might be gone for

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: a couple of shows week, but he might be able

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: to call in as well, so we'll figure that out

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: when we get there. He was on yesterday's Fun Podcast

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: New Squad episode where we drafted our best Disney starting

21
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: five basketball teams from categories like Mickey Mouse Legends and

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: Disney Princesses and Marvel Superheroes and a whole lot more.

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: Been some great responses on Twitter, people drafting their own teams,

24
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: calling out some of our selections, some of our oversights.

25
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: To be honest, the big one to me JD Everyone's like,

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: how did nobody take Thanos in the Disney villain section? Fair?

27
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you just don't think of it. In

28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 3: Matt and As, he didn't think of him as a

29
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: Disney villain, right, yes, right, but he is he is.

30
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: I know. I said that to Noora after we finished recording.

31
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, no one took Thanos in

32
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: the villain category. But there are some hilarious selections. I

33
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: see some great like no Dunks fans whip together some

34
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: graphics of our teams. They're sharing them on Twitter and

35
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: we're trying to retweet them and stuff and get them

36
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: up on Instagram. There's even one of those like you

37
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: have fifteen dollars to draft your Disney team from the

38
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: selections we made, which is very funny. So go check

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: out that podcast if you haven't. Everybody's still feeling pretty

40
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: good about their team's tasks. You had a day to

41
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: think about your squad.

42
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel really good. One thing that was overlooked?

43
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 2: Was JD having overlooked the Goofy movie? Did you watch

44
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: it last night? JD?

45
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 3: Goofy movie? Yeah? No, you thing?

46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: You gotta watch it?

47
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: Man, you gotta that pic task. There was a lot

48
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: of I saw, like, you know, thumbs up for Max.

49
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 2: Goof tapping into the younger generation.

50
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, Yeah there.

51
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

52
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: There are some people saying like, how didn't you select

53
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: this person? How do you overlook this character? I'm like,

54
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: I have no idea who you're talking about? There are

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: names I've never heard. Yeah, yeah, what movie are they from?

56
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: Where are they from? Yeah?

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 4: I guess I got a good come from Brent Ferrari

58
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 4: on Twitter, he says, I'll give you Goofy challenging some shots,

59
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 4: but how many times will he accidentally block his own

60
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 4: team shot your squad on schecked in the fool the most?

61
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 4: You gotta say pretty accurate. I will say that.

62
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: That was one of our I think one of our

63
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: most enjoyable squad episodes. To go check that out. We

64
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: posted it on Thursday. Squad Disney starting five is what

65
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: that's called?

66
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 5: All right?

67
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: Before we get to the updown report today, a few

68
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: other nodunks listeners wrote in, They emailed in, they tweeted

69
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: in to ask whether we planned to discuss the recent

70
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: comments by Steven Jackson, where he supported the anti semitic

71
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: comments from NFL player DeShawn Jackson. For those of you

72
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: that haven't been following this story, DeShawn misattributed an anti

73
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: Semitic trope to Hitler and said that Jewish people plan

74
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: to extort America and chief world domination. DeShawn has since

75
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: apologized for this post and him sharing this. I believe

76
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: he's twice now apologizes. But meanwhile, Steven Jackson, I know

77
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: it's confusing with both Jackson's here, but Stephen Jackson, who

78
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: is easily one of the most prominent NBA voices after

79
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: the murder of George Floyd, fixture of Black Lives Matters protests,

80
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: he not only agreed with to Sean, but then in

81
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: a series of sort of weird Instagram videos seem to

82
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: like quadruple down on the hateful comments.

83
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 4: I know.

84
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, in an interview with CNN Stephen Jackson he

85
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: sort of sort of apologized too. I say sort of

86
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: because I would describe it as a muddled apology, but Tess,

87
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, let's address this, you know, either as

88
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: long or as quickly as we want here, but it

89
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: makes sense people writing in to say, what do you think?

90
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: Very unfortunate, especially coming from Stephen Jackson. It's unfortunate when

91
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: anyone supports a conspiracy theory, theory about an entire race

92
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: of people. And Stephen Jackson, who was so vocal and

93
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 2: so eloquent coming out and trying to get people to

94
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: understand the black experience, comes out and throws this blanket statement,

95
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: these conspiracy theories that have been around forever about the

96
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: Jewish people. It's sad, it's wrong. People get caught in

97
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 2: these conspiras. He tunnels these these rabbit holes all the time.

98
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's really hard to get out of those conspiracy

99
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: rabbit holes. That's why things trend on Twitter. These certain

100
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: things trend on Twitter every couple of weeks, or the

101
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: YouTube videos, Hey have we been to the Moon? I mean,

102
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: conspiracy theories are real. They're hard to get out of.

103
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: I understand that. But Steven Jackson hopefully will understand his

104
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: ways and he may already be coming out of that hole.

105
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: That's all you can hope for people who go down

106
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: these rabbit holes and make these mistakes because it happens,

107
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 2: It really does happen. Not to make an excuse for

108
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: Stephen Jackson. It's very disappointing that he couldn't see it

109
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 2: in a different light. But I guess, I guess what

110
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say is that sometimes when people go

111
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: down these certain paths, you just got to try and

112
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: hope and reel them in. You can't just you know,

113
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: I don't know, degrade them, you just they are people too.

114
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: They made a mistake. And Steven Jackson, it is unfortunate

115
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: because he was telling us one thing about it certain

116
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: race of people. Now all the other direction. He turns

117
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: and says, Hey, the Jewish people are trying to undermine

118
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: our society. Let's let's slow the role Stephen Jackson. And

119
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: and you said he issued apology, and I think you

120
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: know what, did he meet with a rabbi yesterday as well?

121
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. I think. Look, he has said that

122
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: his words were more related to the Philadelphia Eagles treatment

123
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: of DeShawn Jackson in juxtaposition to how they responded to

124
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: Riley Cooper, who was a white player if you remember

125
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: back in like twenty thirteen, who used the N word.

126
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: If you buy that explanation. Okay, But at the same time,

127
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson, you're pushing these anti Semitic conspiracy theories, this

128
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: hate so that that's the weird part to me. You

129
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: said quote Deshaun was speaking the truth. When you say that,

130
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: I think everybody is likely going to say, well, you're

131
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: talking about this Hitler post on Instagram who he did.

132
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't even Hitler for crying a loud That sounds

133
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: like what you're saying, even though he has said no,

134
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking about this private conversation the two of them had,

135
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: Deshaun and Stephen, which he sort of explained later. But yeah,

136
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Task this is It's sad, it's hurtful.

137
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: It's honestly downright embarrassing to hear Stephen Jackson sort of

138
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: conflate anti semitism with his very noble message of racial justice.

139
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: You just hope that he can learn from this, and

140
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: it appears that he's trying to, at least though I

141
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: will see some of these apologies, they come off of

142
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: him still trying to blame people for being offended by

143
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: the bigotry that he was sharing. He did share, So yeah, Lee,

144
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have anything back to this.

145
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, basically just sort of echoing what you're saying there. Like,

146
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 4: he's been a very prominent voice here in the Black

147
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 4: Lives Matter movement, and it's been great to see he's

148
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 4: been out there, he's been, you know, really trying to

149
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 4: get the message across. And then this is a very

150
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 4: contradictory thing that he's doing by then sort of tarnishing

151
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 4: one race with one particular stigmatism, and that's the exact

152
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: thing we're trying to get rid of right now. We're

153
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 4: trying to make sure everyone's inclusive and nobody is discriminated against.

154
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 4: And it you know, when these things that aren't true

155
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 4: get publicity and they get oxygen, then all of a sudden,

156
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 4: they grow a life of their own. And that's not

157
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 4: what we need right now. We need people to have

158
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 4: more compassion and more tolerant and more understanding. And I

159
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: don't think Steven Jackson's message has come across that way now.

160
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 4: The reason I think he's struggling with his apologies because

161
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 4: I don't actually think he knows what he's apologizing for yet.

162
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 4: That's why I think it's coming across a bit confusing,

163
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: because he's kind of he kind of doesn't think that

164
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 4: he said anything or done anything wrong. And I think

165
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 4: hopefully in these next few days and weeks, he will

166
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 4: learn and he will understand what he said was wrong

167
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 4: and was hurtful, and that then he will be able

168
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 4: to make a more genuine and sincere apology, because it

169
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 4: right now it's just this confusing message of like, what

170
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 4: the hell are you talking about? And then he's saying, well,

171
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 4: it's your fault for being offended, and it's like, no,

172
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 4: you're going off on some crazy path here that doesn't

173
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 4: make any sense. So that's what I'm hoping to see,

174
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 4: because again, the message right now for the entire world

175
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 4: is that we have to get rid of any discrimination

176
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 4: and bias against anybody, no matter where they're from, what

177
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 4: religion or race they are. We're all in this together.

178
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 4: It doesn't help being in this country when you have

179
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 4: a president who is one of the worst at fueling

180
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 4: these conspiracy theories and creating racial division. He's by far

181
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 4: the biggest problem in this country right now, and hopefully

182
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 4: he won't be here for much longer. Hopefully it'll be

183
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 4: gone in November. But again, it starts with the people

184
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 4: and that starts with us and starts with everybody else

185
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 4: showing and leading the way that we are trying to

186
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 4: make amends for what has been wrong in the past.

187
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and thank you everyone in that did rate inn.

188
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: There were some really you know, sightful, sightful emails that

189
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: people sent our way, So thank you to everybody that

190
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: did do so. All right, well let's get into the

191
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: updown report. Yeah, there's that dumb step. Haven't heard that

192
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: in a while. All right, first one, guys, The Wizards

193
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: announced Tuesday that star guard Bradley Beal will not participate

194
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: in the upcoming restart because of an injury to his

195
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: right rotator cuff. Beal experienced discomfort earlier in the season,

196
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: which worsened I guess here during the four month five

197
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: month suspension of play. Wizards GM Tommy Shepherd said that

198
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: although he was able to play through the majority of

199
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: the season with the injury, the layoff did not leave

200
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: the franchise feeling comfortable that he would have enough time

201
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: to be ready to perform at this high level. So task,

202
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: let's start with you up or down on this shoulder

203
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: injury being Beal's reason for not playing. Are you buying it?

204
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: I guess definitely gotta go way down on this. And

205
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to start a conspiracy theory here, but

206
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal would have played. I do very much believe

207
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 2: if we had a regular season coming up in a

208
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: regular fashion, if they're playing Washington and then they went

209
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: into the playoffs, he would be playing. It's a bubble

210
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: injury really that's keeping him out of the situation, and

211
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 2: his team's not all that could and he's very aware

212
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: that if they go down there, he's going down there

213
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: to be away from his family for at least a month,

214
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,599
Speaker 2: you know, probably six weeks after the first round of

215
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: the playoffs if they were to make it that far

216
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: and they would be bounced. He understands that. You know,

217
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: it's similar to Davis Burton's who who decided he wants

218
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: to focus on signing a contract this offseason. There are

219
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: bigger motivations for Bradley Beal than trying to do something

220
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: in the playoffs this year, and that is next year.

221
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: And that's a sort of a downside of being an

222
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: NBA fan that sometimes if you're part of the six, seven, eight,

223
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: nine seeds, if you're a fan of those teams, you know,

224
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: that we don't really have a shot, and I think

225
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal is pretty aware of that and the shoulder

226
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: may be nagging him. But where when did this report start?

227
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: Only a few days ago? I mean, it wasn't really

228
00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: a story in April or May or June. And that's

229
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: that's where it's that's where it's coming from. It's just

230
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 2: that they know they're not going to win.

231
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: Lell you agree, Yeah, Unfortunately, being a big real fan,

232
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 4: I'm not going to see him. So it's like, you know,

233
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: there's there's I mean again, there's no point in the

234
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 4: Wizards even being there in the first place. And I

235
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 4: wonder if the NBA, if they had sort of known

236
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 4: this prior, would they have even bothered I guess maybe

237
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 4: because in the West is there's a little bit more

238
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 4: of a race at tiny race, but there's no one.

239
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 4: No one expects the Wizards to be able to come

240
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: back and make the playoffs, and even if they do,

241
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 4: they're going to get absolutely killed by the Bucks in

242
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: the first round anyway. So if you're Bradley Beal, he's

243
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 4: had a great season, he may garner some MVP votes.

244
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, he's you know, he's if

245
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 4: he makes All NBA, that's yeah. I mean I think

246
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 4: he's second leading scorer in the league. I believe right

247
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 4: now Bridge thirty points. Yeah, I know he had an

248
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 4: incredible season, but he didn't make the All Star team either,

249
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 4: remember that. So you know, people I think kind of said, well, yeah, look, look,

250
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 4: you know the Wizards don't have anybody else. I mean,

251
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 4: that's not entirely true. They have some other good players,

252
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 4: but Beal was having a good season. But I think

253
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 4: right now he's got a look long term and it's

254
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 4: like to come back and play these games. It doesn't

255
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 4: really make a whole lot of sense for him. I

256
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 4: wouldn't want to do it, being away from my family

257
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 4: for a meaningless sort of adventure like this. So yeah,

258
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 4: I agree with him not going. And sure the shoulder injury,

259
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 4: why not, you know, that's fine.

260
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. The Wizards sit at twenty four and forty. They're

261
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: five and a half games back from the Magic currently

262
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: for the eighth and final playoff spot in the East,

263
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: and you would have to be within four games to

264
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: force the Mega Ball. There's no Burtons, you already said

265
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: that task. There's no John Wall of course, now there's

266
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: no beal. Yeah, it's a little weird and whatever are

267
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: they just like, hey, pick a body part, what's a

268
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: little sore? Yeah, okay, we'll go with that. Okay, fine,

269
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be there, like you said, We said that

270
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: right from the jump. Well, one of the teams are

271
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: chasing are gonna be without someone too, They're gonna be

272
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: without a lot of guys. Actually, Nets guard Spencer Dinwitty.

273
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: He also announced this week he's not going to join

274
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: the team in Orlando after testing positive again for the coronavirus.

275
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: So that brings the Nets up to four players out

276
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: due to the virus or COVID nineteen concerns. In the

277
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: lead up here to the resumption to play, didn Witty,

278
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: DeAndre Jordan, Torrian Prince, and Wilson Chandler. We know they

279
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: have no Kyrie, no KD yet playing in a Brooklyn

280
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: Nets uniform. They don't really have anybody. Uh No, they

281
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: did sign some people. We'll get to that in a second.

282
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: But here's my question, Lee, you can get a started here.

283
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: Are uper down on the NBA just stepping back and

284
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: going hmmmmm, yeah, the Wizards missing a lot of guys.

285
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: Nets are missing a lot of guys, are you up

286
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: down on them just merging those two teams together Survivor style?

287
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 4: Big up, big up on that. Why not? Why not

288
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 4: just see what you can get out of this team?

289
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously it wouldn't happen, but again, it's a

290
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 4: bit of an experiment. Get a few of those guys

291
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 4: out there playing, and maybe they can put one decent

292
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 4: team together between them, because right now, neither of those things.

293
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: I mean, look the Nets.

294
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 4: Maybe they don't win a game, and maybe the Wizards

295
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 4: somehow win seven and becomes a race there. That'd be great.

296
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 4: But you know, this is the chance to experiment a

297
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 4: little bit, and you could probably even combine this team

298
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 4: without telling people as well, and not a whole lot

299
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: of people would notice. They'd just go, oh, that guy's

300
00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 4: on the Nets now, Oh I was on the r

301
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 4: No in the Nets, you know. So yeah, it's again

302
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 4: it's just a it doesn't look great, I think when again,

303
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 4: the Nets are missing so many of their players already,

304
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 4: and now other guys are just sitting out because they don't.

305
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 4: You know, it's for cautionary reasons, which I understand. That's

306
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 4: a smart decision from Spencer Dinwidy, but it just kind

307
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 4: of makes now this these last eight regular season games

308
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 4: again look a bit pointless really, I mean, what's the

309
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: point of even playing them is, particularly when you've got

310
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference where you know, six six of those

311
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 4: teams really aren't even going to have any say of

312
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 4: what happens in the playoffs. So I think I just

313
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 4: think it's this, This is where the NBA would have

314
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 4: been better off trying the one through sixteen experiment, or

315
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 4: at least just starting with the playoffs straight away so

316
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 4: that maybe you don't get this situation. Maybe maybe if

317
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 4: they were in the playoffs and they're going straight there,

318
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 4: maybe someone like Dinwiddie and Jordan would play. I'm not sure,

319
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 4: but it's it's just it's just, yeah, we just don't

320
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 4: need these regular season games, and this is more evidence

321
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 4: of that. Yeah.

322
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: The reason why I do like the regular season games

323
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: is that guys actually get to play in game situations.

324
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: But they're obviously pretty pointless other than the Dala dalla bills.

325
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what it really comes down to. They're

326
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: playing these eighty eight games, these quote quote unquote seeding

327
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 2: games before the playoffs because the regional networks have to

328
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: get to a certain amount of games aired on their

329
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: televisions to get the money to their teams, and so

330
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: that's how they're getting paid. And yeah, it's a little

331
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: nuts to see the Wizards and the Suns down there.

332
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: And it's a little a little weird that the Wizards

333
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: and the Nets are on the Celtics schedule. For instance,

334
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: They've got a far easier schedule now that Bradley Beal

335
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: is out and all these guys are out on the Nets.

336
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: And that's why this the setup for the two seed

337
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: battle is pretty interesting. In the Eastern Conference. The Raptors

338
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: are up three games on the Boston Celtics, but Boston

339
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: has two gimmes in the the Wizards and the Nets,

340
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: and then they have one game against the Raptors and

341
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 2: the Raptors don't have any of those gimmes. So yeah,

342
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: if the Celts win all three of those, they win

343
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: the tiebreaker and that makes it interesting. And if you

344
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 2: win the two seed, you are playing the Magic or

345
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: one of these teams, the Nets or the Wizards. Probably

346
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 2: just the Nets actually, but it's probably gonna be the

347
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 2: Magic because they have their team. They got on the

348
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: bus from Orlando and we're one of the first teams

349
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: in Orlando. What do you guys do and why don't

350
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: you go chill for a couple more days? Be like

351
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: Russell Westbrook and James Harden, which is a very interesting scenario.

352
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: Actually, well, I'm not getting on the team flight right, Yeah,

353
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: and there's no Why do you say it's interesting because yeah,

354
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: our Sean Sharana reported on the Athletic Russell Westbrook James

355
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: Harden didn't make the track.

356
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: Usually there would be an adendum. They failed the Corona test.

357
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: They there is a reason that they're not there, no

358
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 2: reason provided other than my brain goes to their superstars

359
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: and they don't want to go this early, and they say, hey,

360
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: let's let's just show up on June or July twentieth. Well,

361
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: quarantine for a couple of days and then we'll get

362
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 2: into practice. We don't need to be there that long.

363
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: It sounds like Tasmellus arriving for a flight, like we

364
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: don't need to be there a half hour and grab

365
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: some pizza with Lee. Just show one up one minute

366
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: before that flight.

367
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: Sleep, good move, hey smart move Harden in Westbrook?

368
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: But what a JD What do you think of the survivor?

369
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: Stought like should we get propes down there in Orlando.

370
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: You know, have Ish Smith, Garrison Matthews for the Wizards,

371
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: show up and there's a couple of nets, Kris Lavert,

372
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Harris. They all sit down and have

373
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: a feast and like, really, just become one. We give them.

374
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: We give them some paint and a flag. They can

375
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: rename their team whatever they want. What do you think?

376
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean, obviously it'll be awesome. And by the way,

377
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 3: guys at that at that feast, make sure you look

378
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: for the advantage because there's always an advantage at the.

379
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: What would be the advantage, like just the best shoes

380
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: or something like that, or I don't know what it

381
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: would be.

382
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 3: He can steal somebody's shoes maybe or.

383
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 4: Who else?

384
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, maybe you can play something that if that

385
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: team makes it to the eight seed Yiannis can't participate

386
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: in a game or two in the first round of

387
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: a series. Yeah something there. All right, Well, I'm up

388
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: with this idea as well. Just merge the two teams together.

389
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: They shouldn't even be there for crime, but merge them

390
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: together and it could be fun.

391
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: All right.

392
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 1: Our next one sticking with the nets because they're scrambling

393
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: here to refine replacement players. They made two moves this week.

394
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: They reportedly signed forty year old guard Jamal Crawford and

395
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: thirty one year old forward Michael Beasley. Now, Crawford hasn't

396
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: played in the NBA since April twenty nineteen, when he

397
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: scored fifty one points for the Suns against the Mavericks

398
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: ye in his final game, and Beasley's last game was

399
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: February twenty nineteen four legal trivia question.

400
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 4: Not the like as I don't think it wasn't like

401
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 4: it was.

402
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: Then he got traded and waved. I think was it

403
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: to the cliff?

404
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I knew we got try to but I

405
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 4: thought he played with someone else, right.

406
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: So tast are upper down on the nets signing these

407
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: two guys, Jamal Crawford and Michael Beasley on the nets.

408
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: Oh god, I love it. I am way up. It's crazy.

409
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: But the Nets are more interesting to watch now than

410
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: they have it would have been with all their players.

411
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 2: I know it's weird to say that. Yes, Spencer Dinwiddy,

412
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 2: great player, probably gives them a better chance to win,

413
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 2: But I'm on record as saying if they got that

414
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 2: seventh seed, they still would have got swept by the

415
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: Toronto Raptors. The Raptors would have had their first sweep

416
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 2: in franchise history. They weren't gonna win anything anyways. You

417
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 2: got Jamal Crawford and Michael Beasley. Yeah, we're gonna watch

418
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 2: isoball for a little bit, And I think I think

419
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 2: it's actually more interesting, which is nuts to say. A

420
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 2: forty year old guard in Michael Beasley who's been out

421
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 2: of the league and actually won't be able to play

422
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 2: in the first five seeding games because he's going to

423
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: be suspended, and they signed him anyways, which is nuts.

424
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 2: But I guess he's Kevin Durant's good friend. And people are,

425
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: you know, claiming that Kevin Durant wide at him on

426
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: the team, and Sean Mark's GM of the Net says, hey,

427
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 2: we're just getting the best guy available. Crawford and Beasley signed.

428
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 2: Nick Young's got to go somewhere next. But I think

429
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: they're more interesting to watch. I know it's and that

430
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: sounds dumb to say, but maybe they would have won

431
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 2: one game with Spencer Dinwoodie and DeAndre Jordan and Wilson

432
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: Chandler and now they're probably gonna win zero.

433
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tessa is why is to point that out? Beasley

434
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: will have to serve a five game suspension for violating

435
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: the NBA's anti drug policy last August, so he'll play

436
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: in a couple of seeding games and then maybe in

437
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs.

438
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 4: But what do you think, Lee, Yeah, that's pretty desperate

439
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 4: stuff from the nets though, Isn't it like I'm only

440
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 4: good for maybe three or four games. That's fine. We

441
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 4: need you, we needed, but we could use it. The

442
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 4: most shocking thing for me is that Beasley's only thirty one.

443
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 4: Like he's been around since the two thousand and eight drafts, so,

444
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess he was drafted when he was nineteen,

445
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 4: but it just feels like he's a lot older than that.

446
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you feel you know, like when you think

447
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 4: thirty one, a lot of players are kind of in

448
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 4: their prime or or you know, pretty close to it

449
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 4: at that point. He sort of feels like he's been

450
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 4: to China for a few years, he's been back in

451
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 4: the league and now he hasn't played for a couple

452
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 4: of years and he's back and he's only thirty one.

453
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 4: So but yeah, Crawford, you know, when we had him

454
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 4: on the show a few years ago. I remember, still

455
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 4: just looks an incredible shape, and you know, he's ready

456
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 4: to go. So he won't need too many walks in

457
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 4: Address Shirte, he won't need. He won't need sort of

458
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 4: too much acclimatization. He'll he'll be ready to go out

459
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 4: there and just start firing away. And that's the thing.

460
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: I mean.

461
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 4: You know, we talked the other day about guys getting fifty.

462
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 4: I mean, I know he had fifty in his last

463
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 4: game in a bit of the last game of the

464
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 4: season against the Suns. I think it was, you know,

465
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 4: last season. I don't think he's going to get fifty,

466
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 4: but you know that I can see Crawford easily getting

467
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 4: a couple of thirty point games out of this because

468
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 4: A they don't have many players and and B he's

469
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 4: just a flat out scorer.

470
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, he's a blicking bucket. Yeah yeah, he

471
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: scored fifty one when he was on the Suns versus

472
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: the Mavericks. Excuse me, yes, yeah, yeah, but I'm with you.

473
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: We were debating he is anybody going to score? I

474
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: guess the line was fifty five and a half, right,

475
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: tasks that was the for the seating games. You could

476
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: bet on you know, yes, someone will go fifty six

477
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: or more or no way, And we were debating, like what,

478
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: somebody's not gonna score that much or yeah, Trey and

479
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: I were like, yeah, it's gonna happen. This helps Trey

480
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: and I's case. I mean, he could do it. He

481
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: honestly could do it despite being forty years old. The

482
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: guy just he can score, and when he's on, he

483
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: is on, so and he might have a go at

484
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: it too, like you were saying, with their lack of

485
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: players and especially lack of offensive talent there, hell, carsel

486
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: Vert might even go for fifty. There's not a lot

487
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: of other guys.

488
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, And so I wonder how long the starters

489
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 5: bump lasts because we've claimed for years that people come

490
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 5: on our show a couple of weeks later, go out

491
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 5: and have a great game.

492
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: You mentioned Jamal Crawford has been on our show. League.

493
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,959
Speaker 2: They also have Justin Anderson that they signed as a

494
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 2: replacement player, also been on our show a very long

495
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: time ago. So I don't know the starter's bump last

496
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: eight years because Justin Anderson's gonna yeah, he's gonna show up.

497
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 2: They signed twenty two year old Dante Hall, just a

498
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: bunch of guys out there that no one's gonna know.

499
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, maybe Jamal Crawford goes off against the team

500
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: because they're not really expecting much from the Brooklyn Nets,

501
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: and there they take that sort of that scening game

502
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 2: off and we'll get a show, I hope.

503
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: So when did we have Jamal Crawford? Only do you remember?

504
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 4: I mean it must be three years ago now, so

505
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 4: he yeah, he was still playing, Yeah, yeah, yeah, because

506
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 4: he was quick, that makes sense, Yeah, he was. He

507
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 4: wasn't We didn't nominate him for six Man of the Year,

508
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 4: but I think he won it actually that year. He

509
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 4: might be right because I think he called us out

510
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 4: on the show.

511
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that is right. Okay, good call, good call.

512
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: All right. So the Nets got Jamal Crawford and Michael Beasley,

513
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: Well you're right, Tas is right. I mean, it does

514
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: make them more of a must watch for me, just

515
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: because I'm curious see what those tuys can do. All Right,

516
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 1: our next one here, Well, we already know where Lee

517
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: stands on this one, but I wanted to hear from

518
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: task and JD JD will start with you are you

519
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: up and down on Magic Johnson admitting that he has

520
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: someone else send his tweets for him.

521
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 3: Uh is so he said that he was basically telling

522
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 3: somebody what to say and writing it down for him.

523
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, yes, that's what he said to Roblo.

524
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 3: Is that person Siri?

525
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: Is that person Siri? No, I'm not sure.

526
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 3: Listen, I'm down on this because whether it's Siri or

527
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 3: a personal assistant or whoever, you're just throwing them under

528
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 3: the bus. You're dictating whatever you're saying. Do you blame

529
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 3: your keyboard for whatever you tweet? I mean, it's it's stupid.

530
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: And by the way, if there is a human that's

531
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: that's doing this, you need to replace that person Magic,

532
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 3: you need to replace him or her with my man

533
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: Lee Ellis.

534
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. But see, I don't think any anyone needs to

535
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 4: change anything with Magic's tweets. I think they are perfect

536
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 4: and they will continue to be perfect because you.

537
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: Don't think they've lost some magic though knowing this, you know,

538
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: peeling back the curtain a little bit ly.

539
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know. Look, I don't want to

540
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 4: take too much credit for sort of exposing Magic's tweets

541
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 4: on the Tweet of the Week, but I think I

542
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 4: gave them life, you know, and you know, people I

543
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 4: don't know, people just enjoy Magic because someone I think

544
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 4: it was. I think it was Harrison Fagan wrote yesterday

545
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 4: from Silver Screen and Roll that Magic is kind of

546
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,959
Speaker 4: like the only guy watching TV and he's telling everyone

547
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 4: sort of what's happening is if no one else can

548
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 4: see what's going on, And I think that's that's kind

549
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 4: of perfect.

550
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 3: It is way more fun to picture him lying in

551
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 3: his bed with his phone just tweeting away in the

552
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 3: middle of the name.

553
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 4: I mean, let me just pick one out here at random. Okay,

554
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 4: the Lakers losing Avery Bradley is a tough loss and

555
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 4: will make it more difficult for them to win the

556
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 4: NBA Championship.

557
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: Right right, fair point. At least that's actually for him,

558
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: that's a bit of a tick.

559
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like someone you think so do you

560
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 4: think maybe so one's there in the room and the

561
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 4: night and you know, the news comes through. Magic just

562
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 4: says that, and someone's like, all right, I'll just tweet

563
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 4: that out. You know, it's just a comment whatever who

564
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 4: is And I.

565
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: Think he says it or he thinks it first, that

566
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: he says it out loud and then goes, I'll be

567
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: a good tweet. Hey, hey, yeah you tweet that. That's

568
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: what I think. But he's always every second or third tweet.

569
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: I've said this before, is he always says like me

570
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: and cookie and I cookies around him here all the time,

571
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: his wife. They're always thanking people for the parties and

572
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: stuff like that. They're usually like a great photo attached

573
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: to it. But task what do you think you up

574
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: or down on now knowing that magic isn't the one actually,

575
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, putting it into his phone or his.

576
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 2: Computer way down, way down. I agree with you, Skeets

577
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 2: and that, Yeah, you're breaking down the fourth wall a

578
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 2: little bit here. Yeah, And it's sort of like the

579
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: Iron Cheek when he was tweeting a lot of dumb stuff,

580
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 2: and it was it was a report, a full article,

581
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: full blown article revealing that it was two guys tweeting

582
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 2: all his really stupid tweets, and then that just changed everything.

583
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: But I think, but hold on, hold on.

584
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: Those were people doing a parody of the Iron Cheek

585
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: or were they with the Iron Cheek?

586
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: Well, I think they got the approval of the Iron Cheek.

587
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: Oh no, they were in cahoots. It was like iron

588
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 2: Cheek wasn't dictating every little thing, I don't think, but

589
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 2: it was, yeah, iron Cheek doing stupid stuff. And then

590
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 2: these guys, I think they did a little bit of

591
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 2: a collab with Iron Cheek. They're like, hey, we'll be

592
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: Nikolay Volkoff isn't around, will be your tag team partner.

593
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 2: But I don't think JD that he would approve of

594
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: somebody just going, you know, free wheeling and writing whatever

595
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 2: they want. He wants a yes man and.

596
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, and that's that to me is the problem?

597
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 4: Well, maybe what about this one, Jade? I found another

598
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 4: one here from magic. You tell me if you think

599
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 4: this is straight from magic, someone else has written it.

600
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 4: Just finished watching two of my favorite movies of all time,

601
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 4: The Negotiator and Absence of Malice. I've seen both of

602
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 4: them multiple times because they have great storylines, multiple A

603
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 4: list actors, and are extremely well written.

604
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah that's genius. I take it back, Yeah.

605
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: It really is. I didn't know. I'm starting to think,

606
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: does it make it more hilarious that there's someone else

607
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: actually rating it in his voice because he's intelligence.

608
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 2: To I don't know.

609
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 4: Now I'm to.

610
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: Magic.

611
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: Johnson's Twitter account it's given us so much good content.

612
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: Oh we are a lot more up downs to throw

613
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: some thumbs on, but before we do, a quick word

614
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: from our sponsors.

615
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 4: Without a return to YouTube. This week, a few people

616
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 4: have pointed out to me that they've noticed my hair

617
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 4: is looking a bit unruly, and it's true. I won't

618
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 4: deny it. I haven't been to see my hair dresser,

619
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 4: k lovely lady she is in months. At first it

620
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 4: was bothersome, but I'll be honest, lately I'm kind of

621
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 4: digging the scruffy look again. Takes me back to my

622
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 4: early twenty when the grunge looked was all the rage.

623
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 4: So while I've been letting things go up top, let

624
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 4: me tell you I've been keeping it a little tidier

654
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: Fell longer than a cricket match. A cricket integration in there, Genia,

655
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? Are you gonna put the

656
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 2: cricket music?

657
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: Of course I'm slacking back and forth with Gus reading it, saying, hey,

658
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna put the cricket music in? Already marked it wrote, what.

659
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 2: Is a nate watchman in the game of cricket? Is

660
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 2: there a John Snow out there? That's the stand there

661
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,239
Speaker 2: in life? No?

662
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 4: So what happens is so in a test match, you

663
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 4: know it goes for multiple days. Right now, Say your

664
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 4: team is batting late in the day and you lose

665
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 4: one of your key batsmen. What you do is you

666
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 4: send in one of the guys lower in the order

667
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 4: who all he has to do is basically hold his

668
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 4: end up and not go out and so that he

669
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 4: sort of protects one of the higher order batsmen. So

670
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 4: he's called the night watchman. So he goes out. Now

671
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 4: the thing is he has to go out there and

672
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 4: bat the next day. You can't sort of then chop

673
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 4: him and change him unless he goes out. So the

674
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 4: idea being that the one of the more prominent batsmen

675
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 4: doesn't have to go out there and face a few

676
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 4: tricky deliveries and maybe lose his wicket. Instead, someone else

677
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 4: will just go out there and kind of dead bat

678
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 4: the ball around a bit and not go out. Doesn't

679
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 4: always work. Sometimes it backfires because the night watchman goes out.

680
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 4: But that's the idea, is protecting one of the higher

681
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 4: order batsmen, the.

682
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: Nate watchman that has agreed him for that raw.

683
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: I like that pinch.

684
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 4: Yeah kind of ye, kind of Like this guy is

685
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 4: not the worst batsman on your team, but he's he's

686
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 4: a lower order batsman. Usually it is a bowler who's just.

687
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: And he's not good, so he's not playing the field.

688
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 4: Yeah he is, Yeah, yeah he plays. Yeah, it's not

689
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 4: the designated hitter in that sense, Like it's a bowler.

690
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 4: Usually it's a bowler who's who's decent enough with the

691
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 4: bat that he can he can survive, and the couple

692
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 4: of uys.

693
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: Just play in front of Yeah, crazy, I love it.

694
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: All Right, we got another ad here. I have a

695
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: question and you'all want to listen. To the answer because

696
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 2: I've experienced something amazing during the quarantine. If you were

697
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 2: to guess, on average, how many days do people in

698
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: the US have to wait to see a doctor, what

699
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 2: would you say? A week?

700
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 4: Maybe one test match length.

701
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how long that is, but on average

702
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 2: people have to wait around twenty nine days to see

703
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: a doctor in major US cities. Basically a month, but

704
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: not anymore. I've seen an online doctor for my poison

705
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: IVY right from my desk chair, and it took mere hours.

706
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 2: Pretty badass. And if you're dealing with a serious condition

707
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: like a rectile dysfunction, you want treatment asap. That's why

708
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,680

726
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: All right back into the updown report. While some NBA

727
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: players seem to be enjoying their hotel rooms in Florida

728
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: or in Orlando, there Rashon Rondo maybe not a fan.

729
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: The veteran guard appeared to express some displeasure on social

730
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: media this week, sharing a photo of a room. Was

731
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: it his? Is even there yet? I'm not sure? But

732
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: with the following caption Motel six huh and then the

733
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: little emoji given the finger to again the room that

734
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: in theory he would be staying in, or he isn't,

735
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: so to ask you can get a started here. Yup

736
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: or down on Rondo seemingly being upset with his Orlando

737
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: hotel room down.

738
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 2: That room looked all right right? It did not look

739
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: like a Motel six room. Having watched videos from various

740
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 2: NBA players, saw Serge Ibacca go in his room. His

741
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 2: room way smaller than that room. Evan Fournier, He's got

742
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 2: full carpet in his room, unlike Rajeon Rondo. There's nothing

743
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 2: hiding in your wood. You're laming at pat or paneling there,

744
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 2: Jehan Rondo, Evanfornia. Who knows what's hiding in that carpet.

745
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: So I'm always of the opinion that you can never

746
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 2: tell what people are saying on social media, like, for instance,

747
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 2: you know Troy Daniel's food photo. We've seen later on

748
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 2: the meals are far more elaborate than that. But that's

749
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 2: what he really meant. That's what Jean Rondo really meant.

750
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 2: I'm totally convinced that he doesn't like his room. He's

751
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 2: already upset. But this isn't up for Motel six because

752
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 2: their rooms are not as nice as what Rajeon Rondo

753
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 2: is saying. A Motel six room is like that thing

754
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 2: that was a nice photo. And you're right, he's the

755
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 2: Lakers got down there yesterday. Yeah, so I'm not sure

756
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 2: if he was in his room or not.

757
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 4: But why would he Why would he put that out

758
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 4: there if it wasn't his room.

759
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, because I think, I mean, he knows the

760
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: hotel he's staying, and he knows the type of rooms

761
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: he's staying. Because I saw Whitney Medworth she shared photos

762
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: of the Grand Destino Hotel. They're the exact rooms that

763
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: he was sharing. So again, I don't know if it's

764
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: his actual photo or just one he found on the internet,

765
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: but that's where he's gonna be anyway, Lee, I guess

766
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: is the answer. But you're right, it's weird. It's a

767
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: this is just a bad look over all them, right, Yeah,

768
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: I mean like Bamani Jones tweeted it and he summed

769
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: it up perfectly. I love this quote, Bamani Jones. Remember

770
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: everyone judges how nice a hotel is compared to where

771
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: they live. Okay, no one wants a hotel that isn't

772
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: as nice as their house. Also, remember, though nobody wants

773
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: to hear this from the rich dude, you got to

774
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,879
Speaker 1: take that el quietly. Hey, ain't wrong. You have both

775
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: points there, both points. You know, for a lot of us,

776
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: we look at the round and go, damn nice room.

777
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: I guess Rono maybe looks at it and goes, this sucks.

778
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: My house is way better than this. I don't know.

779
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 1: But also if that's the case, don't let everybody know that.

780
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 1: Just keep it quiet, man. Not now, these we got

781
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 1: people going in there risking their lives to make a

782
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: goddamn basketball tournament or whatever playoffs happen. You know, all

783
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: the we have some laughs with it all and all that,

784
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: with the food in the hotel rooms, but it's not

785
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:01,959
Speaker 1: it's just not a good luck.

786
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 4: No, especially not from Rondo, you know, like Lebron could

787
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 4: do it. No, what I'm saying is if Lebron went

788
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 4: in and his room was just a mess and it

789
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 4: was untidy and it was cramped, and it's like you

790
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 4: could say, well, you know, you got to you got

791
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 4: to understand that this is Lebron. You know he has

792
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 4: a more bigger voice. If you're Rondo's like, Ronde, come on, man,

793
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 4: you're lucky. You're lucky to even be there. Let's be honest.

794
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 4: And the only thing I'll disagree with what Boumani said

795
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 4: to take this out, it's like this is not even

796
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 4: an l this is like, this is fine, man, Like

797
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 4: if you can't live in those conditions, what the hell

798
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 4: is wrong with you? You know, like the hotel room was fine,

799
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 4: there's nothing wrong with it, and Rondo just shouldn't be

800
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 4: He's not in the position is strong enough position to

801
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 4: be able to complain about it when there is nothing

802
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 4: wrong with that room. So yeah, week, very weak, weak source.

803
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: There was a lot of room. You're saying, there's a

804
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: lot of room in that room, Leef for you to

805
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: do your yoga, to get your microwave that you called

806
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: up from the hotel lobby, yep.

807
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 4: And you know what, if they said we don't have one,

808
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 4: I'd say, you know what, that's fine, I'll cope without it.

809
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 4: But there's enough room. There's enough to leave. There's enough

810
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 4: room for me and Matt to do our bar threes together.

811
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 4: So that's fine with me. That's all you need. Yeah,

812
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 4: ged what what do you think?

813
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 2: Sorry?

814
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, I mean I agree. I mean we got

815
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 3: to make Rondo ticket is he it's a nice room,

816
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 3: Like I don't know what he expects? Like what is

817
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 3: he looking for? What? What more could he want? Like

818
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 3: a waterfall?

819
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 2: Like what sweet? You think Lebron is sweet?

820
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 4: Yeah? He should do, he's Lebron. I mean like like

821
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 4: there are a few suites in hotels like that, you

822
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 4: know a few more exclusive suites. Those are reserved for

823
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 4: guys like Lebron. I mean, there's no question about it.

824
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 4: That's that's the way it should be too, you know,

825
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 4: I mean, and that's the way. I'm sure it's good.

826
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 4: And again, even if Lebron wasn't in a suite, I

827
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 4: don't think you're going to see him complaining about his

828
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 4: room anyway. He's not going to say, oh man, I

829
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 4: can't believe they've put because they wouldn't they take care

830
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 4: of him.

831
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 2: Most people are having fun down there. Lou Williams walked

832
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 2: into his room showing his setup looking good. Patrick Beverley

833
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 2: already has a sage plant in his room. That is

834
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 2: it sage? I don't know, that's what he said.

835
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 4: Well, there's not testing down there, so we won't know exactly.

836
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 2: People are having fun and having Foreign is having a

837
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 2: great workout video. We'll talk about that.

838
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 4: And I think it was Maxi Kleiba had had a

839
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 4: big dance potty.

840
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: Going fake DJing out on their balconies. Mavericks, Yeah, no, you're.

841
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 2: Right, and s just check Serge Ibacca's room. That thing

842
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 2: is tiny. And he also has yeah, he also has

843
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 2: it's a room that traditionally has two beds, and you

844
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: could see the headboard for both beds, but one bet

845
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 2: has been removed, and so it looks like duty. I mean,

846
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 2: it doesn't look good. Especially Serge Ibacca's filming wasn't all

847
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: that good. But he could complain if he if he

848
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 2: really wanted to. He's like, he could say, hey, I

849
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 2: get you know, let's get a room with one bed.

850
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: Gives me a little bit more space that it's like

851
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 2: half the size of whatever. Jeon Rondo's photo was, so Serge,

852
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 2: you can complain. You're allowed. You're part of the you're

853
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: part of the Championship Raptors. You're allowed to.

854
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,959
Speaker 1: Let's hear from you guys up or down on again,

855
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: Rondo seemingly being upset with his Orlando hotel room. Are

856
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: we jump into conclusions with that? I don't know. Maybe

857
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: you tell us, you tell us, all right, Well, sticking

858
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: with the players arriving down there in Orlando, we're getting glimpses,

859
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: like you said, tasks of life inside this bubble. On Tuesday,

860
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: Magic teammates Evan Fournier and Terrence Ross, they showed us

861
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: their welcome gift bags courtesy of the league. There was

862
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: a lot inside these things. I mean there's there's tons

863
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 1: of snacks, there's books, there's blankets, there's a phone charger,

864
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: a speaker, a Bluetooth keyboard, a fire TV stick, a

865
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:53,959
Speaker 1: coloring book, a silverware case, more, there's more leg any lego,

866
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: and there was no Lego that would be smart. It

867
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: would have been very smart. But JD, we'll go with

868
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: you here. You saw the video are up or down

869
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 1: on this NBA Bubble welcome gift bag?

870
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, first of all, go watch the whole video.

871
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 3: It's like ten minutes long. On Evan's Instagram page. Mo

872
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 3: Vernie would be so proud of him. It is such

873
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 3: a great hotel walkthrough. We didn't get to see the safe,

874
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 3: I don't think, but we did see the bathroom, the

875
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 3: toilet and the raised showerhead, which is great that he

876
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 3: pointed out in French. Secondly, I'm down in general on

877
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 3: gift bags for guys who make seventeen million dollars a year.

878
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 3: In general is just I don't know. It's like why

879
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 3: these guys make enough money. But on the other hand,

880
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 3: they're entering a bubble for our entertainment, so give them whatever,

881
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 3: but I'm way up on this gift bag, mostly because

882
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 3: of Evan Fournier's enthusiasm in unboxing it. It's so great,

883
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 3: Like the coloring book. I've never seen anybody so excited

884
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 3: about a coloring book. And then the don der soap

885
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 3: comes out and a sponge and it's just like, okay,

886
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 3: but really that's quite It is quite practical. And then

887
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 3: the picnic set came out and I swear to god,

888
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 3: I had the exact same reaction is heated in Unison.

889
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 3: I was like, oh nice, the same at the same

890
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 3: time we said it together. It's just awesome and just

891
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 3: just to see a guy that's so happy to be

892
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 3: there in contrast to Toronto like is It's just a

893
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 3: goddamn delight. And then he moves on to another bag,

894
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 3: which is full of snacks, like sacks, so many SAgs

895
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 3: for a professional athlete. I can't imagine. Uh, you know,

896
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 3: I'm like, god, damn, I go through that in a day.

897
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:50,919
Speaker 2: Uh.

898
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 3: And then he goes onto the NBA Tope bag, where

899
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 3: there's actually some pretty cool stuff in there, like a speaker,

900
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 3: a speaker like ning he's called it Luetooth keyboard, and

901
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 3: then a thermal blanket with an NBA the logo on it,

902
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 3: which is like we're in a heat wave and you're

903
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 3: in Atlanta or Orlando. So I don't know, but yeah,

904
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 3: you're up.

905
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 4: I didn't wait, Old JD. But did he did he

906
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 4: show you the bath at all? Did you get a glimpse?

907
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, you said the bath is a normal size, But

908
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 3: he did make a he did as I said made.

909
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 3: He made a point of showing that the taller shower

910
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 3: ahead and you can still see the hole where they

911
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 3: had to like rip out the old one. So yeah,

912
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 3: it's a pretty norm it's a pretty normal hotel room.

913
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 3: I mean, Rondo would hate it.

914
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 4: So you'd be pretty comfortable.

915
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,479
Speaker 1: It does just go to show you though, it doesn't

916
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: matter how much money you make ten million dollars, twenty

917
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: million dollars a year. Everybody loves free stuff. That's what

918
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: I took from it. And he's like, you're right, Jdy.

919
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: He's like legit excited. He's like ooh, Bluetooth keyboard. Yeah,

920
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: he could buy millions of those, but he's like, this

921
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: is cool, it's free. I'll give this. Go in here.

922
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: That's what do you think of the gift bag?

923
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 4: Well?

924
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,399
Speaker 2: I thought he kind of got bored when it came

925
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 2: to the Bluetooth keyboard and the joystick. What else, there's

926
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 2: some other gaming something. He kind of he loved the

927
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 2: coloring book and then it's sort of he's like a

928
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 2: Bluetooth key and I thought he was a little more

929
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 2: excited than well he listen, he is. He is ridiculously happy.

930
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 2: He made a ten minute video that's edited so well.

931
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 2: Puts Mulvernie to shame that that video is incredible. There's like,

932
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 2: this is the time that they they as players should

933
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 2: be improving on their social media abilities and working on

934
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 2: their editing skills. And I'm not sure if Evan just

935
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 2: fires off all that footage to somebody and somebody else

936
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 2: does it. But yeah, it was great watching him work out,

937
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 2: uh breaking out the TRX, doing the push ups on

938
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 2: that dirty carpet. And if there's anybody that should be

939
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 2: complaining about their hotel rooms, it's the guys who live

940
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 2: down the road. All these guys got on a bus

941
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 2: ride from more Orlando from their I guess it was

942
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 2: the arena or their practice arena and came down here

943
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 2: and their houses they can like throw something, yeah, from

944
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 2: the bubble. They should be complaining. But Evan Foignier as

945
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 2: as we've said, delighted to be in that room. He's

946
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 2: pumped and uh yeah, and that's gonna rub off on

947
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 2: each other, right, I mean, that's that's all about that,

948
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 2: you know. The attitude is everything in terms of their

949
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 2: their team. Like, that's gonna rub off on each other,

950
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 2: isn't it. If you're if you're pissy all the time,

951
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 2: that's gonna be interesting to see the effect on that

952
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: so far, Evan t Ross. He told t Ross to

953
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 2: shut up in the hallway, right right.

954
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right. He was yelling. He saw

955
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: cam Burge who was making fun of him for having like,

956
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: you know, three suitcases. Uh yeah, then you're right. Then

957
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: there's yelling from Ross. He tells the camaraderie is high.

958
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: I think that it's very funny. What did you think,

959
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 1: le Yeah, I I What.

960
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 4: I really want to do now is see j D

961
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 4: domo vernie a hotel room till next time we go

962
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 4: in a hotel. I think I think we have to

963
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 4: now we have asolutely have to. But also has been

964
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 4: out of the game for a while, so now that

965
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 4: the standard's been raised, I think MO was gonna next

966
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 4: time he goes on a trip, he's going to show

967
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 4: us what he can do. So that's what I'm looking

968
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 4: forward to. You know, the challenge that the hotel room

969
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 4: tour now is something that is going to be must watched.

970
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 3: It could be that we were so starved for a

971
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 3: hotel room tours, just like giving a cracker to a

972
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 3: starving guy on a desert island.

973
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 2: Right.

974
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 3: It was just I loved it. I couldn't. I couldn't

975
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 3: believe it. And Elie, you got to upgrade your bar three.

976
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 3: You gotta you gotta get the gear that Evan was

977
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 3: using in his room.

978
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: It was awesome.

979
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 4: Well yeah, yeah, I'll have to check it out. I'll

980
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 4: have to. If they have a core ball and they

981
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 4: and a roller and some weights and some elastic bands,

982
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 4: then yeah, then you can do it all.

983
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 2: Shut up, bar.

984
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: I saw that Terrence Ross he had a video to

985
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: where he was showing the sort of the NBA players

986
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: lounge where they have the video games, and they had

987
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: some arcades and they had ping pong tables and all

988
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: that stuff looked pretty nice, though I did point out

989
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: on the ping pong table there was four paddles and

990
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: we know that doubles are prohibited, so that seems like

991
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: a trap, like, you know, no fall for that. Guys,

992
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: like get rid of two of those immediately, or at

993
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: least put them to the side so that you can

994
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: swap them out and then you can clean the other

995
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: ones while uh, you know, you got this tournament going

996
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: on a ping.

997
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 2: Pong and if you're wearing your urrah ring playing doubles,

998
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 2: you're gonna be beeping every two seconds because you can't

999
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 2: be within six feet of somebody before your urrah ring beeps.

1000
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 1: Right, And the the arcade machines that they had lined up,

1001
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean they look great. There was like a Showtime one.

1002
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: You know, they're all in a back corner, but there's

1003
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: no way they're separated by six feet, so like there's

1004
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: only one guy allowed to be playing the arcades one

1005
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: machine at once. Like they can't play four players. I mean,

1006
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: you can't play four you know double ping pong, then

1007
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: you can't play four players on showtime. So anyway, hilarious stuff.

1008
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: Make sure you can watch all these videos. It's they're

1009
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: very very funny. All right, Our next one, well, let's

1010
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: go to football here for a sec. This week, the

1011
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 1: Chiefs and Super Bowl MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes reached an

1012
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: agreement on a ten year contract extension that ties them

1013
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: to Kansas City through the twenty thirty one season. The deal,

1014
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: reportedly worth four hundred and fifty million over the ten

1015
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: year period, could be worth up to five hundred and

1016
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 1: three million, and the extension includes one hundred and forty

1017
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:34,280
Speaker 1: million dollar injury guarantee as well as a no trade clause.

1018
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: This is wild pass football. Up or down on the

1019
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs signing Mahomes to the largest contract for an athlete

1020
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: in sports history.

1021
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 2: Wow, it's the largest contract in sports. I'm up. Nobody

1022
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 2: wants to be given out money in the NFL right now,

1023
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,919
Speaker 2: Dak sitting on the sidelines waiting for his deal. I'm

1024
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 2: happy for Patrick Mahomes, undoubtedly happy for that guy. Only

1025
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 2: one year in the league. We know we got, let's

1026
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 2: give to him. Yeah, I'm happy for him, and he

1027
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 2: could have gotten Apparently, I don't really understand how the

1028
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 2: cap situation works. But he said he took less than

1029
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 2: he could have per year because he didn't want to

1030
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 2: be the guy that took all the dollars. So he

1031
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,719
Speaker 2: legitimately said I would I don't want to be the

1032
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 2: guy that, you know, reduces our chance of getting other

1033
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 2: guys on this team. So I'm going to be the

1034
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 2: good guy. So I don't know. I really like Patrick Mahomes.

1035
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 2: I don't know much about him, but I might going

1036
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 2: to say.

1037
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: It, Lee, would you think?

1038
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 4: Sure? Yeah, I mean, obviously it's not exactly my wheelhouse here.

1039
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 4: But the problem i'd see with football is, like the

1040
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 4: quarterback you can sign for ten years? Would would any

1041
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,399
Speaker 4: other player get a ten year contract on a football team?

1042
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 4: Because they they usually have like a two or three

1043
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 4: year window, don't they where they're sort of good, and

1044
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 4: then you know they get beaten up all the time.

1045
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 4: So you know, you look at guys like Tom Brady.

1046
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 4: I think he's forty two, I think, and he's still

1047
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 4: playing because you know, the quarterbacks get protected by everybody,

1048
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,479
Speaker 4: so they're fine. But it's the other guys who get

1049
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 4: mashed when they go out there. So you know, fine,

1050
00:50:58,680 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 4: I haven't enjoy it.

1051
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:01,959
Speaker 1: Here's the here's the question I wanted to throw at Uli.

1052
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: Which NBA star would you sign to this type of

1053
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: money ten year deal, five hundred million right now? So

1054
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 1: you're not going to do Lebron of course?

1055
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1056
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, even if you think he's invincible. Yeah, he's all

1057
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: who'd you got.

1058
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 4: Oh, Janis, I guess he's what twenty? Is he twenty five?

1059
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 2: I believe, Yana.

1060
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you got Zion of course, jar Morant

1061
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 4: and some of those younger guys, but but proven product

1062
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 4: already with and I think he'll still be good in

1063
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 4: certainly eight of those years. Anyway, I would sign, Yeah,

1064
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, like still well, I'm just thinking

1065
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 4: like if he's thirty five, thirty six, I mean Lebron's

1066
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 4: thirty five and he's still still playing well. So yeah, Yannis,

1067
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 4: as long as he takes care of himself, and I

1068
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,919
Speaker 4: see no reason why he wouldn't. I think he'd still

1069
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 4: be getting return on that contract in ten years time.

1070
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,240
Speaker 1: Okay, So Yannis, I would agree with that one, Tasa,

1071
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: I assume you do too. What about Luca, he'd probably

1072
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: be on the less short list, super young guy already

1073
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: like an MVP candidate.

1074
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would. There's so much talk about Zion, even

1075
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 2: Luca as the young guys in this league.

1076
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: I say, Zion, Zion, I don't think you can lock

1077
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: in because of no injury.

1078
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree, but you know he's on the

1079
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 2: NBA two K twenty one cover. It's all. It's almost

1080
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 2: like Jannis is being overlooked already, maybe because you know,

1081
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 2: Zion is a is a ratings beast, or just just

1082
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 2: because people want to jump on the new thing. But

1083
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 2: it is like Janis is being overlooked in the young

1084
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,479
Speaker 2: guy conversation. And he's twenty five, and he's an MVP,

1085
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 2: and he's a young twenty five because he started a

1086
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 2: little bit late playing ball. So I would I would

1087
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 2: jump on that. He'll probably help out the Greek economy

1088
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 2: as well indirectly, so I would. I would take Giannis

1089
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 2: over even over Luca, because I understand it's a you know,

1090
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 2: the three man's game, the three balls game right now.

1091
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 2: But no matter what happens with the game, if it

1092
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 2: starts to go towards the inside a little bit, you know,

1093
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 2: Janis will be even better. I think he'll be good

1094
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 2: in all literations of the game. And look, Luca's gonna

1095
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 2: be good for ten years too. But we're talking MVP

1096
00:52:57,520 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 2: right here.

1097
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: Congrats to Mahomes. What a deal.

1098
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

1099
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: All right. A couple more here. According to Eric Wolden

1100
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: of The Salt Lake Tribune, Utah, Jazz Reserve Center Tony

1101
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: Bradley said he unintentionally put on a bunch of muscle

1102
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: during the NBA's hiatus, and that he's been getting compliments

1103
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: for quote leaning up. So here's my question. Are you

1104
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: up or down on your quarantine bod? JD? Up or down?

1105
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:26,479
Speaker 2: Well?

1106
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 3: I just worked out, so I'm still feeling the buzz.

1107
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,280
Speaker 3: You know, the orphans are flowing through me. I feel strong.

1108
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 3: I feel sore, but strong. So I'm up. But that's

1109
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 3: gonna wear off as soon as I eat lunch or something.

1110
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 3: As soon as I eat something, I'm back to fat

1111
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 3: guy again. I just is hating myself. So all right

1112
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 3: now I'm up. I'm up.

1113
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, you you a task. Right before we jumped

1115
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: little well, let's be honest, a little wet, like I

1116
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: had either just gotten out of the shur in your case, JD,

1117
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: or you'd just gotten back from a run. And Tassa's case,

1118
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: Taska was looking real shiny. I'm like, what what the

1119
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 1: hell's going on over there? You're ac broken? It just

1120
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:10,879
Speaker 1: got back from would you say, four mile run something

1121
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: like that?

1122
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, four miles? I was doing it.

1123
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: Must be feeling good about the bod feel great.

1124
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,800
Speaker 2: I'm pulling a Chris Weber right now. I'm still a

1125
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 2: little wet right now, sweat and sweating doing my job here.

1126
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 2: But uh yeah, that'll go away. It's just it's it's true,

1127
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 2: you know, I fluctuate like JD. It's just so easy

1128
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 2: to eat at home and you're just around food. Yeah

1129
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 2: that's the problem. But uh yeah, I mean, I mean,

1130
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:36,960
Speaker 2: I had some salmon last night. I had some salmon,

1131
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 2: Like I'm Damary Carrol some salmon, So I'm feeling good.

1132
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 2: Just have some salmon for lunch, JDH. I actually I

1133
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:45,439
Speaker 2: am having salmon for lunch.

1134
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,680
Speaker 3: Plan. I had salmon last night for dinner. But it's

1135
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 3: the fat pills. It's the chocolate covered almonds that Rachel

1136
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 3: keeps buying a Costco.

1137
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 2: Costco. Oh my god, Costco, Costco, Costco.

1138
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:58,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Costco.

1139
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,359
Speaker 1: All right, So these guys are putting in the work, Lily.

1140
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: What about you?

1141
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 4: How you feeling about the bibe down? Big time man,

1142
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 4: and I can't get into a routine at all. Like

1143
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,239
Speaker 4: for me, doing the bar three was always in the

1144
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 4: morning when the kids are out of the house. Roxanna's

1145
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 4: working so I've got some free time and free space.

1146
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 4: But now the kids are in the house all the time.

1147
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 4: Roxanna works downstairs, so the only sort of empty rooms

1148
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 4: are one of their bedrooms just not big enough, or

1149
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 4: our bedroom just just don't want to work out there,

1150
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 4: So I can't take them.

1151
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 2: It is.

1152
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 4: It is so I can't get into it. And the

1153
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 4: same thing, like I just find a non stop snacking

1154
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 4: and nibbling and eating things that I just wouldn't normally eat.

1155
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 4: And you know, the problem I'm having as well is

1156
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:37,800
Speaker 4: the meat consumption.

1157
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 2: You know, I'm just.

1158
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 4: Ah, man, I'm a failing vegetarian badly because you know,

1159
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 4: like I've been trying to avoid, you know, having grills,

1160
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 4: but the weather's great. You know, there's a couple of

1161
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 4: neighbors who are like, let's get the grill. They bring food,

1162
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 4: and You're like, yeah, sure, what the hell. And but

1163
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 4: the other day I was out walking past this guy

1164
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 4: who was grilling his own ribs. And you know that

1165
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 4: scene in Finding Nemo where Dory like kind of gets

1166
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:06,919
Speaker 4: a little bit of blood and it goes up into

1167
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 4: Bruce the shark's nose. Bruce is the he's basically like

1168
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 4: he's a reformed fish eating alcoholic and then he smells

1169
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 4: the blood and he goes mad. I smelled those ribs

1170
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh god, I got to get some man,

1171
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 4: I got to get some ribs back on the grill.

1172
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 4: They were just so good. They're just that that scent

1173
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 4: got me. So yeah, I'm just it's tough. I tell you,

1174
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 4: it's been tough. It's been tough. Can't can't get a

1175
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 4: really good like I get a sweating just because it's

1176
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 4: so damn hot down here. But it's not one of

1177
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 4: those workouts.

1178
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: Sweats just because because you're you go.

1179
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,879
Speaker 4: Outside and so humid and you come back inside after

1180
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 4: five minutes, it's like you've been out for a run

1181
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 4: or you've been working out for an hour. So yeah,

1182
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 4: not good, not good at all.

1183
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,439
Speaker 1: Sorry to hear that. Man, Well you look you look great.

1184
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to tell, like Tony Bradley, man,

1185
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: you're just fallen into it. Yeah, you're just fit, man,

1186
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: you're just fa I was a rest task, like I

1187
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: was saying right before we record it. It was like, God,

1188
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 1: it is it's stinking hot here in Atlanta today. I

1189
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: mean it's always hot in the summer in Atlanta. But

1190
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: it was like it went up a gear today and

1191
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: it's going to be into next week. And I was like, kudos, tasks.

1192
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: Wait to get out there, get those miles in because

1193
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 1: the longer the day goes on, the less likely I

1194
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: am to get out there. That's for sure.

1195
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 2: You gotta get out there early. Yeah, it's it's it's

1196
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 2: a battle of time. It's like the Spurs in the

1197
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen finals. You got to beat the heat. You

1198
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,919
Speaker 2: gotta beat You gotta beat out there, you gotta That's

1199
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 2: that's a shout out to our man Stephan. Yeah, he's

1200
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 2: always beating the heat.

1201
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: He's always beaten other things too. All right, Final one.

1202
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 1: This week we made our triumphant return to YouTube. JD

1203
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: two days in a row. My man got the YouTube

1204
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: video going a streak. What is it a streak? If

1205
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 1: it's two we've had this, Oh no, it's hot. No,

1206
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 1: it's got to be three to me. So we'll see

1207
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 1: if this makes its way to YouTube. But here's here's

1208
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 1: an interesting little question off of this. We've obviously been

1209
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: posting the video of us recording this podcast. We're on

1231
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,480

00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 3: had we had a floor separating us and the kids,

1233
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:19,560

Speaker 3: they have slept in this room for the last three

1235
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:27,280

1237
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: On the ground.

1238
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got little mattresses over here, and they just.

1239
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: Just because it's cooler down there, or.

00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 3: It's cooler, it's cooler, and you know, it's just it's

1242
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,760

00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 3: we got into.

1244
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,280

01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 3: put it somewhere where's the leva at.

1251
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: Lee? So so taus is up? He likes watching it?

1252
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: What about yourself?

1253
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I enjoy watching When JD makes ours dance like

1254
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 4: he does, it's great, you know because it's not just

1255
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 4: like watching guys like like we see each other right now,

1256
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 4: just our heads. JD adds those little elements when we're

1257
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 4: talking about things, and that's what makes it enjoyable. That's

1258
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 4: what just makes the difference, you know. So that's what

1259
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 4: that's what I like about it, you know it. JD

1260
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 4: makes it sexy and that intro for beach Stepping is

1261
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 4: the sexiest intro you've seen. That's worth watching the rest

1262
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 4: of the show just for that alone.

1263
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 1: Well, until we see the guy's feet walking in the

1264
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,919
Speaker 1: want to gag a little bit. It's beach stupid. I see.

1265
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm down on this, not not on ours. JD's doing

1266
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: phenomenal work and a lot of people like it, obviously

1267
01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: your self included. It sounds like you, guys, but I

1268
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 1: don't love the on to watching a podcast, but because

1269
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 1: my favorite thing about listening to podcasts is I can

1270
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: be doing something else. That's my favorite part. I could

1271
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: be going for a run, I can be doing the dishes.

1272
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: I can be walking around my backyard like a weirdo

1273
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 1: picking up sticks. I can be doing things while I'm

1274
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,439
Speaker 1: also listening to a podcast, listening to an audiobook, something

1275
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: like that. I love Multitask and man, I love it,

1276
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: so you gotta watch it now. I'm just watching it now.

1277
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 1: It's just like watching TV.

1278
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 3: But I think people do do things while they're watching

1279
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 3: the YouTube.

1280
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: Show, like, but they're not really watching it.

1281
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah fair, I mean, I mean right, but you need

1282
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 3: to watch like It's not like you have to to

1283
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 3: consume every single frame of this show, right, Like if

1284
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 3: somebody's talking about you know, like I just referred to

1285
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 3: my bedroom, that's when you look up from the dishes

1286
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 3: and you you look and see.

1287
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: So you're saying, it's like watching a baseball game exactly

1288
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: that you have it on you're doing other things. Oh
