00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 2: want something on the air, it's like going off the

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: record with a New York Times journalist. You have to

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: say before you say anything, we're going off the record,

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: and you have to get consent. You can't just be like, oh,

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: blah blah, I said all this. Oh, by the way,

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,720

Speaker 2: the look on his face. Gabe has not yet started

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: his copy. He has started reading it. But let's discuss

43
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: what's not making the show today. What is not on

44
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: the show today is the following Cream Hunts trade rumors

45
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: swirling as the Browns realize there's seasons done that I

46
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: can bring it back next year. Mac Jones inexplicably back

47
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: as the starter for the Patriots. And evidently that show,

48
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: that Star Wars cartoon that ripped off my likeness made it.

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: It came out this week. Freddie Prince Junior, that name

50
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: means nothing to you, demnse But to the listeners and

51
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: viewers my age, they know exactly who he is. Freddie

52
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: Prince Junior tweeted to me saying he thinks I have

53
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: a legitimate lawsuit against Disney and he has a great

54
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: entertainment lawyer. Shout out, Freddie Prince. We appreciate that, all right.

55
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: I mean that, listen. I mean that's me. That's me

56
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: next to Sam Jackson in Star Wars. I'm getting zero

57
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: dollars Disney final offer before I get the lawyers involved.

58
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: Give me an audition for a role in the next

59
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: live action Star Wars movie. That's all I ask. You.

60
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: Give me that and I'll sign a little release saying

61
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: you can use my likeness. You don't have to give

62
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 2: me a role, just an audition. You do that, I

63
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: give you the release. If not, we're gonna have a

64
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: big boys schiller in whomever whatever for my assistants. For

65
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: is gonna be big problem. All right, Demonse, what are

66
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: we starting with?

67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: Start with nets? Bucks?

68
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah and Nets.

69
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 4: We're awesome for the first half last night, but then

70
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 4: Giannis took over and Nash managed to get a jacted. Yeah,

71
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 4: the Bucks are undefeated and Giannis has scored damn near

72
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 4: ninety points in his last two games.

73
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's eighty seven, which is his career high over

74
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: too games. I was surprised by that because he scored

75
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: fifty in the finals, but the game before that least

76
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: thirty two. Yeah, exactly right, all right, go ahead.

77
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, Ben Simmons still won't shoot, and Kyrie's pissed when

78
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 4: people are asking about him.

79
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, about it last night? More about the nets of

80
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: the Bucks.

81
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: Or I think it's more about the nets. But we're

82
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: gonna start with the Bucks here just for a moment.

83
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: The I think somehow Giannis is still underrated. I think

84
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: there is still failure to understand that when it comes

85
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: to playing winning basketball, he is an a triple plus

86
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: being a good teammate. He is an A triple plus

87
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: being an excellent lead by example guy. He is an

88
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: a triple plus being able to score at will efficiently

89
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: at high enough levels to win the scoring title if

90
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: you played enough minutes. He's an A plus. And defensively

91
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 2: he's an a triple plus. There is nothing on the

92
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: court he doesn't do exceptionally well except for shoot jump shots,

93
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 2: and because of that, he can kind of do that,

94
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: but also because of that, he just doesn't shoot a

95
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: lot of them. And the reason theoretically not having a

96
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: reliable jump shot could be damaging as well. Then guys

97
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 2: can defend you differently, but they can't. They can't stop him.

98
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: That the nets were up by eleven early in the

99
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 2: third quarter, I'm sorry, up by twelve from that moment forward,

100
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: Giannis was twelve of twelve from the field. He had

101
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: thirty four second half points on thirteen of fifteen shooting.

102
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: He's they don't have Chris Middleton yet. I don't love

103
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: the roster as a whole. They're the only undefeated team

104
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 2: in the league because of him. So the we talked

105
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: so much about bags and Hesy, Jimbo's and all this nonsense.

106
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: That's fun to look at, but what wins what matters

107
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 2: in this league. Giannis has all of it, every single

108
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: thing you would want, and he is going to finish

109
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: his career as one of the ten greatest players ever.

110
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 3: So a few episodes we asked about that MVP race.

111
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: Is it looking like well, I don't even even by

112
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: goofy sports media stuff. I think a week and a

113
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 2: half in is too early to talk MVP. But like

114
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: he was a Player of the Week or something like that. Sure,

115
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 2: but it's too early for that. Tatum, your guy, Tatum

116
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: has been awesome. John Moran's been awesome, Luca has been awesome,

117
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: but the team's not winning. And so Luca Nets tonight.

118
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: Now to the Nets. I'm not trying to toot my

119
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: own horn. I hate that phrase. I don't know why

120
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: I just used it, but let me read you a

121
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: tweet I sent last night mid third quarter when the

122
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: Nets were ahead. The Nets played really smart, connected, high

123
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: intensity basketball for the first half. Then Yannis started attacking.

124
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: They got a few tough whistles, and now they're just

125
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: going to fold up shop, same old hashtag next year Nets.

126
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: I think from that moment forward, Milwaukee went on like

127
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: a thirty eight to fifteen run Matt maybe in thirty

128
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: eight nineteen. The Nets cannot be bothered to try for

129
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: a full forty eight minutes. It's like they're above it.

130
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: And there is part of me that feels for Kevin Durant.

131
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: He didn't want to be there. He knew this team

132
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: was broken. He tried to get out, He played his hand.

133
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 2: You know, the owner called evidently what was a bluff?

134
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: And now he's stuck. That makes me feel badly for him.

135
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: Here's the other thing that makes me badly for him.

136
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: And this is what I tweeted last year after a

137
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: Nets Bucks game, and Katie got all upset said about it,

138
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: and you know said that I I don't know what

139
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: he called me.

140
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: But a peasant.

141
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: A peasant and when we called him, when I said,

142
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: Katie is destined to life as number two, like Katie

143
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: had to. If he's being honest at the end of

144
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: that game, say well, moving forward, there won't be a

145
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: day of my life. I'm better than Yanness, which means,

146
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: as great as he is, one of the fifteen best

147
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: players in the last fifty years, is going to go

148
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: his entire basketball career without ever being the best player

149
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 2: in the world. It seems like it. It seems like

150
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: he deserves better, but it's just true. And I know

151
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: some people might say, what about twenty seventeen, his first

152
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: year with the Warriors, he was better than Stephan those fives,

153
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 2: he was better than Lebron in those finals, in that series,

154
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: he was better. However, the two years surrounding it. In sixteen,

155
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: Steph and Lebron were on a totally different plane than Durant,

156
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: and the next year was I believe one could argue

157
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: Lebron's single greatest season. So was Durant the best player

158
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: in the world for a couple months. I some people

159
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: would say yes. I would say if Lebron was better

160
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 2: than him in sixteen, better than him in eighteen, he

161
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: was probably better than him in seventeen as well. He

162
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: was just on the best team ever, you know, put together,

163
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: he being KD. It's just the Nets have no outs

164
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: other than firing the coach, but that won't fix the roster.

165
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: And Ben Simmons, I know he's rusty, but he appears

166
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: to be a broken player. And so I think they

167
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: are the Lakers who were going to get to are

168
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: horrible offensively and zero to four. Then that's who we

169
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 2: just talked about. Are horrible defensively, even though they played

170
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: decent defense last night, and one in three. Both teams

171
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: have two star players and then a mismatch rest of

172
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: the roster. They're a lot more similar than people think. Next,

173
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: all right, the Lakers are not looking too hot. They're

174
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: one of three teams who have yet to get a win.

175
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you always have a lot of trash talk to

176
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 4: say on the Joker, but he easily outplayed Lebron.

177
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: You're a poker player. Since when does a joker beat

178
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: a king?

179
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 2: Well, joker always beats a king. A joker can be

180
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: literally any card in the deck. So I don't know

181
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: who wrote that for you, but it's a setup or

182
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 2: always beats the king. Go ahead, Okay, I.

183
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 4: Was kind of thinking that. Yeah, but are the Lakers

184
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 4: at risk of be in the first eight two?

185
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: Okay, No, they're not gonna be on eighty two, but

186
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: they are terrible. And let me talk about Joker for

187
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: a moment. He was great last night. He put up

188
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 2: the type of game I thought Lebron was going to

189
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 2: since I thought because Russ wasn't played, Lebron was gonna

190
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: have a vintage Lebron game to show Lakers management looks

191
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: get some pieces. Lebron wasn't very good. In fact, it

192
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: was his worst game of the year by a decent margin,

193
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 2: and a ton of turnovers. Couldn't hit a shot. He

194
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 2: just flatly wasn't good. Joker, on the other hand, was sensational.

195
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: So I give him credit. And I'm not what did

196
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: you say, I'm always talking trash on the Joker, maybe

197
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: a little bit. I'm just offended that a guy who's

198
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: the seventh or eighth best player in the league back

199
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: to back one MVPs over Giannis, over Chris Paul, over

200
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: guys who were clearly better and led to more winning

201
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: than he did. That's all. And this year, by the way,

202
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna see it because now they do have all

203
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: the pieces, and the Nuggets once again will be a

204
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 2: good but not great team. And so but I give

205
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,599
Speaker 2: him credit. Last night last night, Joker was absolutely sensational.

206
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: He was better than Lebron last night. He was the

207
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: best player on the court last night. And you know,

208
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: that's a great win for the Nets and the Lakers. Yes,

209
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: eventually they're going to trade Russ. My concern going into

210
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: the year when they do it, will it be too

211
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: late because it can get late early out in the

212
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 2: Western Conference and they are not just one shooter away. Obviously,

213
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 2: like Buddy Heel doesn't just come in and fix all

214
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: their problems. I'm not acting like he does. But anything

215
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: the Lakers do until they trade us is kind of

216
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 2: meaningless other than dig themselves bigger holes. So what they

217
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: have is at Minnesota, then home for Denver, then home

218
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 2: for New Orleans, will see how healthy they are, then

219
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: home Utah, home Cleveland, at Utah, at the Clippers. Could

220
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: the Lakers be two and eight to start the year, Absolutely,

221
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: and could that make it to where their absolute best

222
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: case scenario is the play in Yes? Right now, do

223
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: they look like even with the Russ trade, they're a

224
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: playoff team? No, it's a terribly built roster. Eighties played fine,

225
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: but hasn't again been like, oh my god, there's the

226
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 2: guy we thought we were gonna get after the championship

227
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: and Lebron's in year twenty. It's remarkable that in year

228
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 2: twenty he's still I believe, a top ten player, but

229
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: he's hell a lot closer to ten than to one.

230
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: And it can be the best year twenty in NBA

231
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 2: history by a mile, and still not anywhere near good

232
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: enough to carry this team anywhere that matters. It sucks.

233
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: Lakers are an uninteresting, bad basketball team right now. And

234
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: that was without Russ playing next. Huh?

235
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 4: All right, the four and three Ravens take on a

236
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 4: struggling Brady in the Bucks today. You said the Bucks

237
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 4: of the Broncos, or just like the Broncos with a

238
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 4: better uh, with better or publica public relations we love nations.

239
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 4: You've also criticized Lamar for not growing as a passer.

240
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 4: Are both of these teams being held by by their quarterbacks?

241
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 2: Well, that's a very interesting way to put it. So

242
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: Lamar needs to be better. Lamar hasn't played well in

243
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: a month. Is he holding them back? No? Is he

244
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: preventing them right now? For like, without Lamar, that team

245
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: is trash. So so the not all, but the vast

246
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: majority of their success is thanks to two people, two players,

247
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: Lamar and Justin Tucker. Right, However, if they want to

248
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: be a real contender, he's got to be better. Yeah,

249
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: he flatly has to be the Lamar we saw the

250
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: first few weeks of the season. We said, there, he's

251
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: the leading MVP candidate after three weeks the Patriots. I'm

252
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: sorry the Patriots. The Bucks are in a very similar

253
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: position in this regard. On offense, their offensive line injuries

254
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: up front have ruined their ability to have a deep

255
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: downfield passing game and run the football. Okay, so that's

256
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: not on Brady. However, the defense has been sensational, and

257
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: Brady is having one of the worst starts to a

258
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: season of his career.

259
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: So it's.

260
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: Bill James used to say, he's a great baseball guy.

261
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: Bad teams have an amazing ability to blame their best

262
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: players for their biggest problems. Meaning when a team is bad,

263
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: instead of being like, we're bad because we have all

264
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: these bad players, they look at their best player and say,

265
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: why don't you do more? Why don't you do more?

266
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: There is an element to blaming Brady or Lamar for

267
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: the Bucks and Ravens problems. That is that they have

268
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 2: a lot of other issues. The Ravens still haven't been

269
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: able to build a secondary. Their running game is not

270
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: what you would think would be outside of Lamoar. They

271
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: haven't spent money on receiver. The Bucks had all these

272
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: offensive line injuries. They have the worst running attack in football.

273
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: Those things. Those things are not on the quarterback. However,

274
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: those quarterbacks. One is considered the greatest player ever. The

275
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: other won an MVP in year two and is on

276
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: a Hall of Fame trajectory, very early, but a hall

277
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 2: of Fame trajectory. If they those other problems are not

278
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: going to get fixed. So in order for them to

279
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: be contender ish teams, they are going to need those guys,

280
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: those players to step up. And I don't know if

281
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: Brady still can. I know Lamar still can, but he's

282
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: got to get out of this rut. By the way,

283
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier, the great Gabe goodwins here. Who's a

284
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: professional Tom Brady hater. Gabe, I have some I had

285
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: a vision like Vissera's in his dreams. You're coming up here. Okay, yeah,

286
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: but game's right there. There is this world that exists

287
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: where the Tampa Bay Bucks go nine and eight or

288
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: even eight and nine and win that division, and they're

289
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: the four seed because you get that as the division winner.

290
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: And right now, the likely five seed is the New

291
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 2: York Giants and Daniel Jones, and it's the four seed

292
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: you're likely if you win, assuming because I'm gonna say

293
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: something else, I would imagine there's a real good chance

294
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 2: that the Niners or the Niners in the Rams are

295
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 2: gonna be the three six. I think if the road

296
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: team wins that the sixth seed, they then go to Philadelphia. Okay,

297
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: And there is a real world that exists where Tom

298
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 2: Brady's path to the NFC Championship Game goes home for

299
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones at Kirk Cousins and then in an NFC

300
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: Championship game back at home against Jimmy Garoppolo to get

301
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: to the super Bowl. That is, Gabe, I just want

302
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 2: you to emotionally prepare yourself for Brady to be having

303
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 2: his worst season ever. And then we see the playoff

304
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 2: bracket and we say, wait, are the nine to eight

305
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 2: Bucks going to be hosting Jimmy Garoppolo in the NFC

306
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 2: title Game after beating Daniel Jones and Kirk Cousins to

307
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: get there. That is in play. It is one hundred

308
00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 2: percent in play, and I need Gabe to be ready

309
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 2: for it because he might he might not be able

310
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: to handle it. If Brady gets to his eleventh Super

311
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: Bowl and it's by beating Kirk Cousins, Jimmy Garoppolo, and

312
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones, I think it's in play. I also think,

313
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: by the way, I mean, you know, before the year

314
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: I had Chiefs Niners in the Super Bowl, there is

315
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: something though poetic if it's Chiefs Bucks again and Mahomes

316
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: gets even on him. Yeah, and that's what sends Brady

317
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 2: into retirement. Bonus take for our friend Gabe. I do

318
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 2: not think Brady's retiring after this year. You do, oh,

319
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: I don't think. I think he's definitely not retiring. I

320
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: think he's going to go next year and play for

321
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 2: a really good team. I think that's what's gonna happen.

322
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: I think, especially if he's actually getting divorced or has

323
00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: gotten divorced, I think Brady's gonna play at least another year.

324
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 3: I can see it.

325
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: I'm putting both those takes out there, and poor Gabe.

326
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 2: Gabe's gonna live in a world where the Jets go

327
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: eleven and six and somehow in the first round of

328
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 2: the playoffs are in Kansas City and get beaten by

329
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: thirty eight points and Brady goes nine to eight and

330
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: in the first round of the playoffs gets Daniel Jones

331
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 2: at home.

332
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 4: All right, next we got don't only the fans out,

333
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 4: We've got polls, but I don't know the updated document.

334
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 3: Guys. Okay, no, no, no, no, the wi FI.

335
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: It's not okay, it's working for me, so don't worry

336
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 2: about it. I've got the updated document. The sorry I

337
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 2: forgot the polls were there? Well, the Lakers get a

338
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 2: win anytime soon. The poll answer was no, fifty five percent.

339
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: And are the Bucks and Ravens being held back by

340
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: their quarterback?

341
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: No? Was eighty percent? All right, next, all right? The

342
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 4: NFL trade deadline is on Tuesday. Several teams are in

343
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 4: make it or break weeks.

344
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, traded for Robert Quinn to kick off their trade season.

345
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: By the way, real quick, don't lose your spot. I'm

346
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 2: so frustrated the Chiefs didn't make that trade fourth round

347
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: pick with the Bears paying his salary for I understand

348
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 2: the Chiefs want to get their young Carlaftis on the field,

349
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: one of their big you know. One of the reasons

350
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs of the Chiefs is early in seasons they

351
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: play their young players. They don't stack veterans ahead of them.

352
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 2: That way they can develop. But god, dogg it, I

353
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: would have liked George or Robert Quinn for a fourth

354
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: round pick go ahead.

355
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 4: With wins, teams will right their seasons and make a push.

356
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 4: With losses, they will be sellers and counting down to

357
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 4: the end of the season. Yeah, if the Packers and

358
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 4: Rams lose, should they start looking to next year and

359
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 4: be sellers at the deadline?

360
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 3: And if your Jags win, should they go all in it?

361
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 5: All?

362
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: Right?

363
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: No, no, this is no, no, no, all The Packers

364
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 2: and Rams can't be sellers. The Packers can't be sellers

365
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 2: because they only have a year or two left of

366
00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. The Rams can't be sellers because they've they've

367
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 2: already spent all their draft capital. They need to be

368
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: trying to win right now, and that division so winnable,

369
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: so that wouldn't make sense. And the Jags absolutely should

370
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 2: not go all in. The Jags need to take a

371
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: long term view of this, not try to steal the

372
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 2: AFC South or the final wild card spot this year.

373
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: So that's listen. I do think there will be some

374
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: more moves, and I do think it's possible the Chiefs

375
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: get involved in something I would have liked. Robert Quinn

405
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 2: on in my life right now. Because this is and

406
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: I hate to be this guy. I'm going to talk

407
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 2: about a problem without having a solution for it. There

408
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 2: has to be a better and more fair way for

409
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: young people to apply to colleges than the one we

410
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 2: currently have. Okay, so my daughter, my older daughter is

411
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: a senior in high school. She wants to be an actress.

412
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: I fully support that. I think she's brilliant on the stage,

413
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 2: and I think she has real talent. She's applying to

414
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 2: She doesn't really like when I talk about her business.

415
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 2: She's applying to a lot of schools, a dozen schools.

416
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 2: She's applying to the theater programs. Yeah, I'll name if

417
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: you applying to Syracuse, where I went Howard Spellman, USC,

418
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: not Cornell. I'm glad you're locked in. Appreciate that little

419
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 2: chime in. I'll handle this part, buddy, USC, I think

420
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: is where she really wants to go. That is maybe

421
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: the hardest theater's program to get into in the country. Gabe,

422
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 2: did you go to USC? Okay? I thought, you know,

423
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: for some reason, I thought Gabe might have gone to USC,

424
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 2: but he didn't. That's fine. Sorry, My apologies is USC fan.

425
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 2: That's right, A bunch of schools in southern California, and

426
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 2: like Loyola, Marriormount and Occidental Chapman, A bunch of those

427
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: schools and a bunch of the UC schools. She either

428
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: wants to be out in California, Syracuse or an HBCU.

429
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 2: I'm probably leaving somehow.

430
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 3: The work.

431
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 2: These kids have to put into these applications, each application

432
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: having not only your one long form essay, but sometimes

433
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: three or four supplemental essays, plus if you're applying to

434
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: a specialty program, and I understand it, and on dish

435
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: and tape and this plus the stuff that goes into

436
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 2: SATACT prep plus all of these things. It doesn't Here's

437
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 2: what I think, and this is why I'm bringing up

438
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: because my daughter has amazing support structure.

439
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 3: Right.

440
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 2: She goes to a great school that has something called

441
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 2: college cluster, where like for seniors they have like a

442
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 2: period every other day where they just do college stuff.

443
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 2: They have a great college, multiple great college counselors. She

444
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: has not to sound weird, but she has me. I'm

445
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 2: good at that type of stuff. Now she's asked me

446
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: to be very hands off on it, but I'm still

447
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 2: there if she needs me. All of these things and

448
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 2: it's still is so overwhelming that I am having dreams

449
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 2: about the process each night. I can't imagine what she's

450
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 2: going through. So now, just just transport yourself back. You're

451
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 2: seventeen years old. You're going through all the things you

452
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: go through as a teenager. You're in your final stretch

453
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 2: of high school. If you're an athlete or an actress

454
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: like dior Is, you have practice or play practice or

455
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 2: athletic practice or whatever after school until six o'clock. You

456
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: have all these things going on. You have all your

457
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 2: regular school responsibilities, and then you have this overwhelming weight

458
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 2: of where you're going to get accepted into the schools

459
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 2: to deal with. Plus and again, like I said, for

460
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: a lot of the This is not Dior's situation, but

461
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: for so many of these kids, it's like and then

462
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: when I get in, can I even afford it? The

463
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: applications themselves, seventy five eighty bucks are rip just to apply.

464
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: And so I am bringing this up not because my

465
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 2: daughter is having a rough time. She's done a great

466
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 2: job with it and she'll be fine, even though it's overwhelming.

467
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: I don't know how it's possible for young people who

468
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 2: maybe have to work a job to help support themselves

469
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: with their family, that go to a school that doesn't

470
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 2: have all these built in advantages that Yora does, that

471
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: they could ever have an application that looks anywhere close

472
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: to a student that some of these, some of these

473
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 2: kids at my daughter's school, they hire someone not to

474
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 2: tutor them on the sat or Act, but hire someone

475
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 2: to help like tutor them on the application, if not

476
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: do the application. I'm not it. It just feels like.

477
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 4: It.

478
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: The attempt to, you know, create the best higher education

479
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: situation for our young people possible, has turned into another

480
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: instance where the deck is so incredibly stacked against poor kids.

481
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: And that's been my big takeaway on this, is that

482
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: we always say, like you know, put yourself by the

483
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: bootstraps and and you know, do good in school, and

484
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 2: you can do, but you know you can overcome your circumstances.

485
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 2: I don't know how a teenager without massive support, massive

486
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: financial means is going to be able to the vast majority,

487
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 2: that is, have what is essentially your life's long resume

488
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: measure up to kids who are in such easier situations.

489
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 2: And it just strikes me as I again, like I said,

490
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: I don't have a solution. This is a problem without

491
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 2: a solution. My gut feeling is I think the best

492
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: way to do the college application process would be similar

493
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: to how it was done for when my mom. Now

494
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 2: we are going way back when my mom was applying to schools,

495
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: which is you went and talked to somebody, You had

496
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: to sit down interview, it's half hour long. They looked

497
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 2: at your grades and it was you had that human

498
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: interaction and they had smart people determining, okay, are you

499
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: a product? Like you had great grades, but was your

500
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: degree of difficulty zero? You had tough grades, but were

501
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: you working jobs, helping with kids? Do you know doing

502
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 2: these things? It just strikes me as the moment our

503
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: young people get out into the real world, it already

504
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: has been stacked the haves and the have nots, and

505
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: I have felt, honestly a little guilty, even though I

506
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 2: want nothing but what's best for my daughter. That she's

507
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: in the halves category, and and there are going to

508
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 2: be kids that maybe are just as good or better

509
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: applicants that are in the call that have nots category,

510
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: and their applications gonna look gonna pale in comparison. So again,

511
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: I think there are some parents listening or young people

512
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: that just went through it that are watching it that

513
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: understand and empathize with what I'm talking about. I know

514
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 2: this was this is not usually what we do on

515
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 2: this show, but it has been thirty some hours a

516
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: week for Diora for the last month, plus school plus

517
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 2: play practice, plus everything else going on in her life,

518
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 2: and I just don't know how. You know, folks that

519
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 2: don't necessarily have the resources that she has do it

520
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: so nothing but you know, respect and admiration for them.

521
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 2: But there's gotta be a better way to do it.

522
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: And then for the if you do it all correctly,

523
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: that the big prize at the end is probably two

524
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars a debt strikes me as pretty crazy.

525
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 2: And I again, I don't have the solution, but I

526
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: know the way we're doing it right now can't be

527
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: the best way possible. All right, back to the show.

528
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 2: What are we doing now?

529
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 4: Well spoken, we got MAVs nets. We get to watch

530
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,479
Speaker 4: the other son, Luka Doncic's play tonight.

531
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 2: By the way, you can ask you a question because

532
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: you text me because you bet Luca first basket and

533
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: you won it. Yep, and the text you sent me,

534
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to look it up. You said your

535
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: other son, and I read that coming from you, and

536
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, I've never asked Himan, say,

537
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 2: does it bother you that I call someone else my kid?

538
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 3: I think it's weird that you're just now asking me that.

539
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: But uh, okay, well listen, better late than never. Does

540
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 2: it bother you?

541
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 3: I don't know?

542
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 2: Oh that means it does?

543
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 4: No, I don't think it's it's it's not a I

544
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 4: really don't take any offense to Luca doesn't know.

545
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 2: Your Okay, well, I mean I raised him, so let no, honestly,

546
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: if anybody, if anybody should know, if there were.

547
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 3: Like some guy that wasn't in the NBA that you

548
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 3: were calling your other son.

549
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 4: That would be like yeah, then it's like all right, okay,

550
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 4: all right, that's fair.

551
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: I get it. Uh if it were just like some

552
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: like aspiring sportscaster, I've like taken on her my wing

553
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 2: and I'm like, hey, here are my two sons that

554
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 2: would bother you. Okay, that's fair, you think because he's

555
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: in the NBA and people don't believe that he's my actual,

556
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 2: large adult Slovenian son, I.

557
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 3: Don't think that it's that they don't believe it.

558
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 4: I just think it's like it's like me telling my

559
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 4: girlfriend that I have a crush on Beyonce or like

560
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 4: she's my.

561
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: I got you, Okay, you know, all right, I got you,

562
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 2: gonna do all right? Fair enough, alright, go ahead.

563
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 4: Luca has been a wrecking ball, putting up massive numbers

564
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 4: through these few through these first three games. Yeah, the

565
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 4: nets are in disarray and can't stop anything defend.

566
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 3: Is this the making of a fifty piece for Luca tonight?

567
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 5: Oh?

568
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna score fifty. But last night

569
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: the total for Gianni's points pregame was thirty two and

570
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 2: a half, and I hammered the over it's my first

571
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: NBA bet of the year, and I and he had

572
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 2: nine in the first half and finished with forty three.

573
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: The Nets are on a back to back. I think

574
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 2: here's what I would say. I think Luca will have.

575
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 3: At least twenty eight I'm calling it right now.

576
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 2: Twenty eight field low. What I was gonna say is

577
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 2: fifty combined points rebounds exists, Okay, I think Luca has

578
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 2: thirty two, nine and thirteen.

579
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 3: Yeah.

580
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 2: That these hit and open shooters, and I think that. Listen.

581
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 2: I said the map has not been great, but I

582
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 2: said before the year, I thought they were going to

583
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 2: have the best offense in NBA history, and their pace

584
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 2: towards it, I think their offense is gonna be unstoppable.

585
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: We'll see how the Nets react to last night. I

586
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: know they thought they got an unfair whistle. And we

587
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 2: talked to the Nets at the beginning of the show.

588
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 2: We didn't talk about Steve Nash losing his mind, Steve

589
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 2: Nash going crazy on the rest. They really didn't like

590
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 2: the whistle.

591
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 3: I like Steve Nash getting ejected. Those shows a little

592
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 3: bit of fight.

593
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 2: Katie seemed to like it. Katie seemed to appreciate it.

594
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 2: Would have been nice if the Nets showed some fight afterwards,

595
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 2: but the show's you know, they can't be as the Nets.

596
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 2: They've done so much winning and they've accomplished so much,

597
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 2: it's hard for them to get up for these regular

598
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 2: season games. All right, what game are we playing?

599
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: We are playing Doctor right today. I don't have my stethoscope.

600
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 2: See they did send you a stethoscope, didn't they.

601
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 3: They did not send me a stethoscope. I was just

602
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 3: making a little joke.

603
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 2: I'm just it's just from the image. Gabe is convinced,

604
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: and I'm not.

605
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 3: And it's you that has the stuff on.

606
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 2: It's not even me, I know so, But Gabe is

607
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: convinced they did. Matt says they didn't. I think they did.

608
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 2: Your adamant that you've never worn that.

609
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 4: Ever, I feel like if there was, if there were

610
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 4: Doctor's equipment that was sent to me through Amazon, if

611
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 4: I opened it, there's no chance that I forget that.

612
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 4: I opened up a package and you're with doctor equipment

613
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 4: in it.

614
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 2: You're convinced, hold on that you've never on one of

615
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 2: the shows worn any Doctor stuff.

616
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 4: Okay, guys, our loyal listeners type in the chat, we

617
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 4: do it?

618
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 3: Do it as a question aired all.

619
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, so you're convinced that we can't find

620
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 2: footage of you wearing any doctor stuff.

621
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 4: I've had a gavel and a wig, okay, and a

622
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 4: whiteboard one time.

623
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 2: Demanse says he's one hundred percent all right, before the

624
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 2: end of the show, We're gonna get to the bottom

625
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: of this. We're gonna get to the bottom of it.

626
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 2: Gay's so crazy, Gabe, go ahead, Gabe jumping in our

627
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 2: boss Cara. Yeah, wow, really, Gables, Guys, you don't have

628
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 2: to go strolling through the old episode. Gabe was as

629
00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 2: convinced as I.

630
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 3: Was, which is insane, Like, am I just like a liar?

631
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 3: Or no? I I brained that Fall.

632
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: I didn't think you were lying intentionally. I did think

633
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: you had forgotten, okay, that we had worn it once

634
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: months ago, and you had forgotten, That's what I thought.

635
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 2: But and gamed it as well. But Fall, and it's

636
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 2: the wig and the gavel, okay?

637
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 3: All right?

638
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 4: Next or so we are doing it again, doctor right

639
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 4: first patient doctor Wright Russell Wilson is showing signs of

640
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 4: clinical insanity on the Broncos flight to London, doing high

641
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 4: knees for four hours umping down the aisles while as

642
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 4: teammates were trying to sleep. If the Broncos lose, changes

643
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 4: have to be made. Doctor Wright, We're leaving coach Hacket

644
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 4: in London cure Russ's case of insanity.

645
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 2: Okay, the absolutely no, it wouldn't. That's first of all,

646
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 2: there's no chance it would cure fixing Russ. No. I also,

647
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to add a take here and then we'll

648
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 2: get back to Russ. I said they should consider firing

649
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 2: Hacket after week two. I absolutely would not fire him,

650
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 2: no matter what they do the rest of the year.

651
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 2: Here's why they Their only path next season. Their most

652
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 2: obvious path, I should say, is Sean Payton. Sean Payton,

653
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 2: hire him quarterback. Whisper did great things with Drew Brees.

654
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 2: Even when Drew Brees was old and cooked, he still

655
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 2: made it work. Russ and Drew Brees stylistically incredibly similar players,

656
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 2: same size, all of it. The reason I wouldn't fire

657
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 2: Hackett is you need, when you are trying to convince

658
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 2: Sean Payton to take that job, to be able to

659
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: say Russ is fine, the coach was awful. You need

660
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 2: a fall guy. If you fire Hackett and then Russ

661
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 2: is still terrible. How does any good coach want that

662
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 2: job when you are tied to Russ for the next

663
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 2: six years. So I wouldn't fire Hackett now on Russ.

664
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 2: I it's one thing to do this on the airplane.

665
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 2: It is another thing entirely. Do you know how the

666
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:16,919
Speaker 2: media found out? Demonse? His teammates Russ told them, Oh yeah,

667
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 2: Russ at the press conference told them, yeah, it the lack.

668
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 2: So here's the thing in the NFL, at the quarterback position.

669
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: There are two ways to be a leader, and hopefully

670
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 2: you have both of them, but you've got to have

671
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 2: at least one of them. Right, by the way, are

672
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 2: you okay?

673
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 5: My neck is like all of a sudden, All of

674
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 5: a sudden, doctor, You need actual doctor, right, Demanse is

675
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 5: like net just stiffened up mid show?

676
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 2: No, I can see it.

677
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 3: H all right.

678
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 2: There's two ways to.

679
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 3: Be a leader.

680
00:39:55,880 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 2: Be such a great player, people have no choice but

681
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 2: to follow. Peyton Manning is an example. Be so charismatic

682
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 2: or cool. People want to follow Joe Burrow, Cam Newton. Yeah,

683
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 2: those are examples. The best ones are both for a time.

684
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 2: Tom Brady was that, Patrick ma Holmes is that right now?

685
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 2: Lamar has been that at various times in his career.

686
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 2: The worst ones are neither Kyler, Murray, yeah, big Ben

687
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 2: his last few years. Big Ben was never super charisma guy,

688
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: but he was awesome. Then he started stinking and he

689
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: still was not charisma leader.

690
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:42,879
Speaker 3: Cool guy.

691
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 2: Nobody want to follow him, Jay Cutler his whole career.

692
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: Russ was always corny, but he used to be great.

693
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 2: Now he's somehow more corny and terrible. No one's gonna

694
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,720
Speaker 2: follow that, and it's a big problem. It's a big

695
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 2: do I think Russ is statistics.

696
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 3: I mean backed him up on Twitter, Yeah, because.

697
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 2: They got no choice. But this is just a you know,

698
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 2: fruit of the same poisonous tree. Is You remember the

699
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 2: video of him early in the year demanding guys who

700
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 2: aren't playing Yello Runner pass while they're watching the game.

701
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 2: Maybe you didn't see it. It's so bad, Uh. It's

702
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 2: when the Broncos are on defense. He wanted everyone on

703
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:31,760
Speaker 2: the sideline to shout exactly right, and when they weren't

704
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 2: doing it, he started chastising them. And it's just these

705
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 2: these are things like you just can't have and if

706
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 2: you're gonna do that, you've got to be great. And

707
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: it said he's been terrible and the whole thing's a

708
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 2: disaster there and there's no fixing it.

709
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 4: Next, all right, doctor, Right, second case we have here,

710
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 4: bad teams taking for Victor Winny win by Nyama have

711
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 4: a bad case of the wins. If we don't administer

712
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 4: an injection of losses, the lottery odds will rapidly decrease. Right,

713
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 4: what do you advise the Blazers, Spurs and Jazz do

714
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 4: to get back off track?

715
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 2: Well, listen, I think the Blazers are actually gonna try

716
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 2: to be good. I think the four and zero with

717
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 2: Dame playing that level, they're not tanking. The idea behind

718
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 2: them tanking was if Dame still looks compromised from the

719
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:23,879
Speaker 2: injury had last year, the Blazers are not gonna tank. Pissed, No,

720
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 2: he'd be upsetting, but he was, you know, he was

721
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 2: hurt last year, and you're they're not gonna tank. The

722
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 2: Jazz might need to trade for us Conley and Jordan

723
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: Clarkson for us, And because the Jazz might have accidentally

724
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 2: built a decent roster, the Spurs don't have to do

725
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 2: anything differently. They're gonna stop winning. The Spurs are gonna

726
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 2: end up being terrible. They they that there. I'm not them.

727
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about. The Jazz are more competent than

728
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 2: they wanted to be, and they got all those players

729
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 2: from the Rudy Gobert deal, and they're realizing what Minnesota's realizing,

730
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 2: which is Rudy Gobert's fools gold. So losing him doesn't

731
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 2: even hurt you that much, and gaining him in Minnesota

732
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 2: didn't help you that much. So the Spurs are going

733
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 2: to tank, the Jazz might need to make a move,

734
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 2: and the Blazers don't want to tank next all right,

735
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 2: doctor right?

736
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 4: The seventy six ers are showing signs of showing signs

737
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 4: of a team chemistry in balance. They started the season

738
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 4: off aller and three, then they finally beat the Pacer.

739
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 2: And then they lost again last night one and four.

740
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 2: We'll start to a season for them in five or

741
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 2: six years.

742
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 4: Yep, doctor right. What is the issue that means? I'm sorry,

743
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 4: it's the issue the patients or the doctor. So the

744
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 4: doctor meaning doctor the rivers right now, it's a little

745
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 4: bit of both. This is the team I picked to

746
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 4: win the East.

747
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 2: And what is concerning for them is their harden is

748
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 2: fully healed from that hamstring injury finally.

749
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 3: And it is better than what he seemed to be.

750
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 2: Last year, way better. And they still stink. So I'm

751
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 2: going to give the Sixers some time, but Darryl won't

752
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 2: stand pat and they have moves they can make, whether

753
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 2: that's trading players or firing Doc. A lot of people

754
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: thought they would fire Doc two years ago or last year.

755
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 2: They didn't. A lot of people thought they were going

756
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 2: to fire Doc last year. They did not. They've got

757
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 2: to turn this around quickly because the Celtics are playing

758
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 2: great and the Bucks are playing great. Now the Nets

759
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 2: are in just as much disarray. Celtics and Bucks are

760
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 2: for real. The Sixers need to get together, all right,

761
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: last all right?

762
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 3: Doctor? Right?

763
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 4: The forty nine ers seem to be in perfect physical health,

764
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 4: with all pros and first rounders at every key offensive position.

765
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 4: You would think that they would have at least at

766
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 4: least been competitive with the Chiefs. Instead, they are now

767
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 4: three and four and we can't figure out what the

768
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 4: problem is with this patient.

769
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, doctor Wright, what is your diagnosis for the forty

770
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 3: nine ers.

771
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be just fine. I think that

772
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 2: keep doing what you're doing. You're already getting healthier. The

773
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 2: Falcons loss was due to the fact that seven of

774
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 2: your defensive starters are out. The Chiefs loss was due

775
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 2: to the fact that Mahomes played a perfect football game

776
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 2: and Jimmy G kneecaptia on the one yard line. I mean,

777
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 2: Jimmy G. Is an unbelievable stat. In the last thirty

778
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 2: years in the NFL, there have been twenty eight instances,

779
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 2: so just under one a year of a quarterback throwing

780
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: a pick, losing a fumble and getting safetyed in the

781
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 2: same game. Twenty eight times in thirty years it's happened.

782
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 2: Two of those are Jimmy G. This month, that's the

783
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 2: Broncos game. He did it, and then this Chiefs game,

784
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 2: he did it. Listen, they are the best thing they've

785
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 2: gone for them is the division that they're in, and

786
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 2: that defense is top three defense in the league. A

787
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 2: first team All Pro left tackle and a first round

788
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 2: pick a right tackle. A first team All Pro wide

789
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 2: receiver in debo and a first round pick in the

790
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 2: other wide receiver Brandon Ayuk, a first team All Pro

791
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 2: at tight end and a first team All Pro at

792
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 2: running back. Now with McCaffrey, I think the Niners are

793
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 2: an incredibly dangerous team. They're obviously limited quarterback. This is

794
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 2: why I thought it was so crazy. The whole world,

795
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 2: whole sports world, was like, oh, they're better now that

796
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 2: Trey Lance is hurt. No, they're not. They have a

797
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 2: clear ceiling with Jimmy g at quarterback. But that ceiling

798
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 2: is good enough because of the defense and the skill,

799
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: guys still be a super dangerous team. I wouldn't change

800
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 2: anything in San Francisco except for the quarterback. But you

801
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 2: can't change the quarterback right now. Just gotta wait. All right,

802
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 2: we will answer your questions live in the chat and

803
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 2: debut our book club. That's all next sixty second break

804
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 2: What's Right? Live on YouTube? All right, welcome back in

805
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 2: episode eighty seven, What's Right? Nick Ray. So we decided

806
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 2: that we're gonna do a monthly book club on this show.

807
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 2: So this is gonna be our book for the month

808
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 2: of December eight or a month of November. Pardon me,

809
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 2: eh Gombres A little history of the world. And I realized,

810
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 2: because I've never done a book club, that we're supposed

811
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 2: to be like so up to the next week, we'll

812
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 2: get to page whatever. I didn't do that.

813
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 3: So here's you didn't do that.

814
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 2: Where are you at in it?

815
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 3: Page fifteen?

816
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,479
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean that's not great.

817
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 3: That's not say five chapters.

818
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 2: Well, the chapters like three pages long in this book, buddy,

819
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 2: what I said? Okay, you're right. So the book is

820
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy pages. So by this time next week,

821
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: let's all plan to be through chapter up to chapter fourteen,

822
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 2: which starts on page eighty. So let's so, I'm gonna

823
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 2: give people who are maybe ambivalent on joining the book

824
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 2: club a little taste of where of the first few chapters.

825
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 2: So it is literally just a chronological history of the

826
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 2: world in bite sized fashion. So the second chapter he

827
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 2: discusses that you've got to think about prehistory before history,

828
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 2: and some of the lines are I'm gonna read you

829
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 2: a few. Isn't it an amazing thought that one day

830
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 2: a prehistoric man or woman must have realized that meat

831
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 2: from wild animals was easier to chew if it was

832
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 2: first held over a fire and roasted, And that one

833
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 2: day someone actually discovered how to make fire. Do you

834
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 2: realize what that actually means? Then he goes on tools

835
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 2: must have been invented by someone too, and then he

836
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,280
Speaker 2: goes on, do you know what else the caveman invented?

837
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,439
Speaker 2: They invented talking, I mean having real conversations with each

838
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 2: other using words. They invented something else that was wonderful too, pictures.

839
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 2: So his point is, we don't think about this, but

840
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 2: the greatest inventors ever were the very first people. Because

841
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 2: and he ends it with so just once in a while,

842
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 2: while we're talking or eating some bread, using tools, or

843
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 2: warming ourselves by the fire, we shuld remember those early

844
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 2: people with gratitude, for they were the greatest inventors of

845
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 2: all time. And then he gets right into the first civilization,

846
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 2: the Egyptians, and he writes about King I don't know

847
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 2: if it's Chiops or Chops who. This is twenty five

848
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 2: hundred BC, so this is forty five hundred years ago,

849
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,760
Speaker 2: and he wanted a great tomb, and that great tomb

850
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 2: is the great Pyramid. The pyramid that the great Pyramid

851
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 2: of Chops, the one that you see standing to this day,

852
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 2: was built by the first true civilization forty five hundred

853
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 2: years ago. Also that he talks about how in the

854
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 2: Egyptian religion, certain animals were sacred cats, which is why

855
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 2: they built the sphinx, the pyramid that has the cat

856
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:40,280
Speaker 2: face on the top, and I mean this is.

857
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 4: There's also a little section in there where they said,

858
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 4: like the cavemen and the guys that used to draw

859
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 4: in the caves, they think that there was a chance

860
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 4: that they would draw the things on the cave to

861
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 4: make them appear, because like, what reason did they have

862
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 4: to do that.

863
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 3: They thought if they drew.

864
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 4: It, it would do magic, it would show up spawn a cat, yeah,

865
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:56,919
Speaker 4: or whatever.

866
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 2: Whatever they were hunting for or whatever.

867
00:49:58,600 --> 00:49:59,720
Speaker 3: I found that really interesting.

868
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 2: And then so then the next chapter is about Mesopotamia,

869
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 2: and this is really interesting, says unlike Egypt, Mesopotamia was

870
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 2: ruled by just one king, and not did any single

871
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 2: empire survive long within the frontiers of Mesopotamia. But one

872
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,959
Speaker 2: of those first kings was Hamarabi, who made the first

873
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 2: ever code of laws. That's where eye for an Eye

874
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 2: comes from the and that was seventeen hundred BC, so

875
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 2: we're talking nearly four thousand years ago. But this was

876
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 2: the part of the Mesopotamia chapter that I found the

877
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 2: most interesting. So I'm going to read you a section

878
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 2: from it quickly. In those days, people thought the earth

879
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 2: was a flat disk, and the sky was sort of

880
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 2: hollow sphere cupped over the Earth that turned over it

881
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 2: once a day. So it must have seemed miraculous to

882
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 2: them that, although most of the stars stayed fixed to

883
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 2: the heavens, some seemed as it were, as it were,

884
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 2: loosely fastened and able to move about. Today we know

885
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 2: that those stars that are close to us, and that

886
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 2: they herm with the Earth around the Sun, are not

887
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 2: stars at all. They are called planets. You can see

888
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 2: Mars and Jupiter, you can see it. But the ancient

889
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 2: Babylonians and Assyrians couldn't know that, and they thought some

890
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 2: strange magic must lie behind it. They gave a name

891
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 2: to each wandering star and observed them constantly, convinced they

892
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 2: were powerful beings whose position to influenced the destinies of men,

893
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 2: and that by studying them they'd be able to predict

894
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 2: the future. The belief in the stars has a name,

895
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 2: a Greek name astrology, so people still believe in that today.

896
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 2: Some planets were believed to be this is the amazing part,

897
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:41,839
Speaker 2: believed to bring good luck other's misfortune. Mars meant war,

898
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 2: Venus meant love. To each of the five planets known

899
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 2: they dedicated a day.

900
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 3: What about is there anything about mercury in there?

901
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 2: I'm not in here, but yes there would be something.

902
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 2: But listen to this part. To each of the five

903
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 2: planets known to them, they dedicated a day, and with

904
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 2: the Sun and the moon, that made seven days. That

905
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 2: is the origin of our seven day week. In English,

906
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 2: we still call Saturn day, Saturday, Sunday, Sunday, the Moon's

907
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 2: day Monday, but the other named after different gods. In

908
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 2: other languages such as French or Italian, most of the

909
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 2: days of the week still belong to the planets that

910
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 2: the Babylonians nearly four thousand years ago named. So to

911
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 2: this day we call Saturday Saturday because it was named

912
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 2: after Saturn, and Sunday Sunday because it was named after

913
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 2: the Sun. And Monday Moonday, well Monday because it was

914
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 2: named after the moon. That's amazing. That's amazing. Then there

915
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 2: is a chapter that I'm gonna you know. Our producers

916
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 2: asked me today if I wanted to talk about Donda

917
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 2: Sports and Aaron Donald and Jayalen Brown, leaving that after

918
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 2: Kanye's just insane tour of hatred continues unending, and I said,

919
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 2: I don't really want to. We got other stuff. I

920
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 2: knew I was gonna do the college thing, and I

921
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 2: was gonna do this. You keep mostly the sports. But

922
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 2: I do want to say this so I know a

923
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 2: lot of people think I'm Jewish because of my nose.

924
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 2: I'm not Jewish. My grandfather was. However, I was raised

925
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 2: Roman Catholic, and now I'm not really religious person. But

926
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 2: the fifth chapter is about the origin of the Jewish people,

927
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 2: who were kind of the first people to believe in

928
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 2: one God and one God only instead of a bunch

929
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:41,760
Speaker 2: of gods. And it talks about all the different disasters

930
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 2: and the persecution of them for you know, thousands of years.

931
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 2: And is that going through all of that made a

932
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 2: lot of the Jewish people of that time even more devout.

933
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 2: And then I found this super interesting. So the Persians

934
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 2: eventually kind of ran rough shot over everybody, and when

935
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 2: they got to, let me get this right, so King

936
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 2: Nebuchadnezzar of the Persians went to Egypt, and oh, so

937
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 2: let me get this right. I apologize. I want to

938
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:31,760
Speaker 2: read this directly. The mighty Babylonian warrior King nebukad Neezer,

939
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 2: on his way to war with the Egyptians. He marched

940
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,399
Speaker 2: through the Promised Land, where he destroyed Jerusalem in five

941
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 2: eighty six PC, put out the eyes of King Zedekiah,

942
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 2: and led the Jews in captivity to Babylon. They remained

943
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 2: there for fifty years until the Babylonian Empire was destroyed

944
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 2: by the Persians in five point thirty eight BC, and

945
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 2: the Persians freed them that tiny remnant of people that

946
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 2: called itself chosen Poor night and Day or the sacred

947
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 2: songs and scriptures, as they tried to understand why the

948
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 2: One and Only God allowed is people to suffer. There's

949
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 2: then a chapter about who invented reading, and it's the

950
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 2: Phoenicians because they were they were seafarers and they needed

951
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 2: to be able to sell their goods. And then, and

952
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 2: this part is really unbelievable, we get to and we're

953
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 2: only at page thirty the story of the Persians and

954
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 2: the Greeks, which you're like, oh, I actually knew some

955
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 2: of this from the movie three hundred and it's and

956
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 2: it the numbers obviously three hundreds of fictional depiction, but

957
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 2: it's really fascinating. That's only thirty pages in, so we

958
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 2: will get to page eighty next week, I will have

959
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 2: a better idea. I'm gonna listen to someone else's book

960
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:46,680
Speaker 2: club because I don't know if you could tell from this,

961
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 2: I don't really know what I'm doing on how we're

962
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 2: supposed to do a book club. But the first thirteen

963
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 2: Patricks chapters get us to page eighty. I recommend everyone

964
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 2: read it. We'll do it more efficiently next week. All right,

965
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 2: Demont's time now for some questions. Oh right, you ready?

966
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 2: Or did your doc crash again? No?

967
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 3: It changed up? Okay cmrs three six five?

968
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 2: There a yes, Mr three six five, Okay, go ahead.

969
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 4: Uh oh no, it's yeah, just that what there's absolutely

970
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:18,799
Speaker 4: no way Demons is interested in any of this.

971
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: Well, we don't know that.

972
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 3: You might be.

973
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 2: You might be. Let's just see how it goes.

974
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 4: It's funny, he says, we don't know that as if

975
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 4: I'm not Demonse.

976
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough, go ahead. What what what else we

977
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 2: book you? You don't catch up?

978
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 3: And I actually had some input.

979
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 4: Quc beats co ass What does Demonse have to do

980
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,080
Speaker 4: to catch and surpass Luca in your heart stops?

981
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm you know what. That would be a

982
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,720
Speaker 2: good start. That would be a good start next.

983
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 4: Uh, we got Justin pender ass. Who gets traded first?

984
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 4: Russell Westbrook, Ben Simmons or Damian Lillard. It's definitely, it's

985
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 4: definitely Ross.

986
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dame's not gonna get traded, right and Simmons is

987
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 2: gonna be very very very difficult to trade because he

988
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 2: has so much more long on his contract just three

989
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 2: more years after this copy. Russ is an inspiring deal.

990
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 2: Somebody will want Russ in the picks. I don't know

991
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 2: that anyone's going to sign up for Ben in that contract.

992
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:14,319
Speaker 2: All right, next, all right?

993
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 4: Ben asked if Andy Reid wins two Super Bowls over

994
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 4: the next five years then retires, does he does he

995
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 4: have credible goat coach case? He would be three and nine,

996
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 4: so he would be three of the last nine Super Bowls. No,

997
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 4: he would have won three three of nine super Bowls

998
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 4: that he's been in. No, No, No, you're right, You've

999
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 4: got it right. Three of the last nine Super Bowls

1000
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 4: with Goltle golt level quarterback, plus fifteen other fifteen other

1001
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 4: years high level NFL success.

1002
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 2: No, I listen, I don't think he's gonna be able

1003
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 2: to anyone that's currently coaching is not going to be

1004
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 2: able to surpass Belichick, but he'll have a case top

1005
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,439
Speaker 2: five all time. Okay, you'll have a case for top

1006
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 2: five all time, I think without question. All right?

1007
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 4: Next, Nick asks Nick Demonse, what is your favorite sports

1008
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 4: movie of all time?

1009

Speaker 3: He got game for me.

1010
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,440
Speaker 2: Favorite sports movie.

1011
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 3: The Longest Shard. It's pretty interesting.

1012
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 2: You're talking about the remake, the one with Sam.

1013
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 3: With Adam saying, oh, it's oh yeah, there's like an

1014
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 3: old one.

1015
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's an old one with Burt Reynolds. My favorite

1016
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 2: sports movie I really like Tin Cup. I really like

1017
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 2: ten Cup. It's a golf movie, but it's really a

1018
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 2: love story. But it's a great movie. I'm not a

1019
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 2: big sports movie guy. I've never like I'm not really

1020
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:33,320
Speaker 2: into like Field of Dreams, Hoosiers, those movies. Uh, does

1021
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 2: Rocky do the Rockies Countorts? Then Rocky? I mean the

1022
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 2: Rocky Creed was very good, but Rocky one through four

1023
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 2: are pretty outstanding movies.

1024
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 3: All right? Next, all right, ls a ass Or says Nick.

1025
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 4: On the Gambling Show, you were dunking on Victor for

1026
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 4: picking against the Jags.

1027
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 3: What do you have to say for your.

1028
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 2: Savor it for tomorrow Gambling Shows Tomorrow, we're not talking

1029
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 2: about it today. Another two and three week for me.

1030
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 4: Next, All right, Joshua says, I could see Nick is

1031
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 4: a guy who gets one line then gets blasted if

1032
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 4: he was in Star Wars, if he was in Star Wars,

1033
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 4: that is okay.

1034
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 3: Star Wars.

1035
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 2: Well, I think that might have been a cocaine joke,

1036
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:19,959
Speaker 2: which is not on my menu. I I would take that, though,

1037
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 2: I would take getting in Star Wars. And then somebody

1038
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 2: lightsabers me in half or something. And here's the thing,

1039
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 2: and this is what works against me and my ability

1040
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 2: to actually get in Star Wars. I've never seen any.

1041
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 3: Of them me neither. Dude, go, m this isn't inappropriate.

1042
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 3: I've matched with this girl in Tender like two months ago.

1043
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 4: Right, and like in her bio she had ah she

1044
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 4: said Transformers or Harry Potter as like a question, yes,

1045
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 4: and she was like, right, answers, Oh it's Harry Potter,

1046
00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 4: not Star Wars. She was Transformers, and like it was

1047
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 4: a real deal breaker, Like she actually did not talk

1048
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 4: to me because I chose her.

1049
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 2: Well, that's why she put that out there. She's a

1050
00:59:58,240 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 2: Harry Potter fan.

1051
00:59:59,200 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 3: Did she write it?

1052
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 2: What do you mean? Did she write the movie? Yeah, no,

1053
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 2: but I think that does you know what? I actually

1054
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 2: think that's smart. Here's the thing you wouldn't have gotten

1055
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 2: along with her. If there's someone I think that is

1056
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:13,919
Speaker 2: a good way if you're trying to figure out how

1057
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 2: compatible are we. If someone is, my guess is she

1058
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 2: really likes Harry Potter and doesn't like Transformers at all.

1059
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 2: And so if your answer is I don't know anything

1060
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 2: about Harry Potter seems whack and I enjoyed Transformers, you

1061
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 2: guys aren't gonna have that much in common. All right,

1062
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 2: there's one more question to read. Nick asks Demanse, have

1063
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 2: you been chewing a piece of gum this entire podcast?

1064
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 2: And that Nick? Is this Nick? And I'm asking that Demanse, Wait.

1065
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 3: What do you mean this? I know what's you asking me?

1066
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1067
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 4: Uh oh, you are asking It's not even on there,

1068
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 4: correct right copy.

1069
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 3: No, it's the second piece ago. It's been two.

1070
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 2: I'm angrier than I was when I when you forgot

1071
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 2: your air pods last week.

1072
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 3: You literally told me to go get the gum from

1073
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 3: the store.

1074
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 2: Yes, I didn't say to you said I'm not. You

1075
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 2: said you thought you needed to freshen your breath. So

1076
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:17,479
Speaker 2: I said you were like this didn't even have a mint.

1077
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 2: I was like, no, but they have gom next door.

1078
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,240
