00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,840

24
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: Demanse to get the thousand dollars cash bonus, we need

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: to be there by the end of the NFL regular season.

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: So tell your friends about the show also before we

27
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: get to what's actually on the show. So I feel

28
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: a little angst right now, little parental anks, because I

29
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: gave Demonse a very hard time a few weeks ago

30
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: about not having his AirPods for the show. He got

31
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: upset with me. Thought I was a little harsh on him.

32
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: I thought I was told really reasonable. Today, en route

33
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: to the show, he double checked to make sure he

34
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 2: had his AirPods in the uber, and he had them. Now,

35
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: maybe this whole thing's arouse. Maybe I've been taken for

36
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: a ride. He's faking the angst, faking the angers. He's

37
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: just forgotten them again. I don't think that's the case.

38
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: I think because I was so mad a few weeks ago,

39
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: he then double checked made sure he had them. After

40
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: taking them out of his bag, making sure he had them,

41
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: he then left them in the uber. And I'm not

42
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: upset about this at all. Demonse, on the other hand,

43
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: is beside himself. He is so upset because he just

44
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 2: bought them. And it's not even about not having them

45
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: for the show. It's about the fact that it's like

46
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: lighting money on five. So in service to the quality

47
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: of the show, I have something to showed him. Monsey this.

48
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: There you go. So I've you I bought some new AirPods,

49
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: be picking them up.

50
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 3: We seem like a freaking little tort or something.

51
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: No, I'm not making it seem like anything you didn't

52
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: ask me for that you were gonna get them. I

53
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: happened to in the current situation make a little bit

54
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: more money than you. I don't mind doing it. I

55
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: also have to buy your sister a new Apple pencil,

56
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: not because she lost it, but because hers broke. So

57
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: I'm with two birds one stone. I'm gonna pick those

58
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: up after the TV show today, so you'll be made whole.

59
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: You'll now feel great about today's show. We're gonna do awesome.

60
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: By the way, participate in the chat to ask us

61
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: questions or to post comments. We will get to them

62
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: at the end of the show. We also have book

63
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: club at the end of today's show. But first, here

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: is what missed the cut for today's show, step Bladder

65
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: saying the World Cup in Qatar was a mistake. You

66
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: don't say, Sep. Who could have seen that coming? Matt

67
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: Stafford in concussion Protocol and Demon's future senator. So on

68
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: Monday's show, I gave Demanse a hard time for being

69
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: really dedicated to the hoodie and shorts. Look. He did

70
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: not take that critique lightly. He said, aw, not everyone

71
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: always wears all these matching sweatsuits. It's a very common,

72
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: very popular look. It is John Fetterman, six foot nine

73
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: inch United States Senator from Pennsylvania, rocks this look at

74
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: almost all times. So you now have representation in the

75
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: US Senate. That man prevented doctor Oz from becoming a

76
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: US senator. Shout out John Fetterman, Shout out the people

77
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: of Pennsylvania. Shout out Demanse for having a little support

78
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: on the shorts and hoodie. Look now, Demanse, let's get

79
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: to the show.

80
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 3: All right.

81
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 4: The biggest story in the NFL may quietly be brewing

82
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 4: in Buffalo with Josh Allen dealing with an elbow injury.

83
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 3: Not only an elbow injury, but his elbow injury on

84
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 3: his throwing arm. Yeah.

85
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, have a big matchup facing the seven to one

86
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 4: Vikings this week, and without Allen, the Bills would have

87
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 4: case Keenum at quarterback against his former team. Is the

88
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 4: whole NFL about the flip on its head? And are

89
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 4: we betting Dolphins plus five hundred or Jets plus two

90
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 4: thousand to win the AFC East.

91
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not ready to bet on either one of

92
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: those two teams to win the AFC East. It is

93
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: an interesting you can there If the Dolphins are plus

94
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: five hundred and the Jets are plus two thousand, so

95
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: then it's you combine them and it'd be twenty five

96
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 2: to two. The plus five hundred odds you could put

97
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: you understand what I mean, like two thousand plus two

98
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: thousand plus five hundred, and then you'd make two bets.

99
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: You could get twenty five to two, which is you

100
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: could get twelve and a half to one on those

101
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: two teams to win. You know what, So let me

102
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 2: give you a better example on it. If you put

103
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: one hundred bucks on the Jets to win the AFC

104
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: East and you put four hundred bells bucks on the

105
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: Dolphins to win the AFCs, that wouldn't.

106
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: Actually be sick.

107
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: Well, you could make it to whar You could make

108
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: it to wear on either bet. If you want to

109
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: win two thousand bucks fading the Bills, you could combine

110
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: the two right, and so it wouldn't actually be the

111
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: twelve and a half to one math was wrong. Obviously,

112
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: my apologies there. But you could risk a total of

113
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars to guarantee a return of two thousand dollars.

114
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: That's only four to one. If you really believe the

115
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: Dolphins or the Jets are going to win the AFCs,

116
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: you cover both your bases there. I'm not ready to

117
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: go there. I am ready to say this. However, Vegas

118
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: does not think Josh Allen's playing. This game was eight

119
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: and a half nine points as we're doing this show

120
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 2: right now, it's three and a half points the a eing.

121
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 2: It's just moving down. Josh did not practice on Wednesday.

122
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: The Bills, for all of their alleged seriousness about winning

123
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 2: a championship, have not. They've scored twenty five touchdowns on

124
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: offense this year. Twenty three of them have been by

125
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. They do not have what you would call

126
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: a well balanced attack. Now you might say, Nick, no

127
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: team can deal with losing their quarterback. I don't know.

128
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: The Chiefs lost Mahomes for two and a half weeks

129
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 2: the year they won the Super Bowl, and their backup

130
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: quarterback came in and beat the Vikings, played a tough game.

131
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: I think it was against the Packers. They finished the

132
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 2: game against the Broncos. They went two to one in

133
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: the stretch without Mahomes. It helped them get a top

134
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: two seed, helped home field go through Kansas City. Case

135
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: Keenum's a viable backup quarterback. Case, Keenums won playoff, has

136
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: won a playoff game in this league, case Keenums played

137
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: an NFC championship game. With all that said, the reason

138
00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: this is this makes the Jets loss even more devastating

139
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: because you don't have a merging of error if you're Buffalo.

140
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: And what you can't have if you're the Buffalo Bills

141
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: is for the second straight year, you go to Arrowhead

142
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: in the regular season, you beat the Chiefs, you get

143
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: a game up in the standings and get the tiebreaker,

144
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: and then yet somehow when the playoffs roll around, you

145
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: don't have home field. The Bills I believe to have

146
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: any shot to beat the Chiefs in the postseason, need

147
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: that game to be in Buffalo, because for as great

148
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: as the Chiefs have been for the last five years,

149
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: they have not played a single road playoff game. That's

150
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: a testament. Now, great they've been, but it also does

151
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 2: mean while I don't question it, it is an unknown

152
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: of how Mahomes and the Chiefs offense would function in

153
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: a loud, road playoff environment. You add to the fact

154
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: that while Kansas City weather in January ain't great, Buffalo

155
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: weather in January is horrifying and a bad weather football game.

156
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: You would think, well would favor a team who's both

157
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: teams quarterbacks can run, but the Chiefs quarterback, the Bills

158
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 2: quarterback is so big and strong, you would think that

159
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: favors him a bit right. Speaking of him running, However,

160
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: this is where this really has a long tail on

161
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: impacting the season. Let's say Josh just mits misses one

162
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: week and I understand he did not hurt this elbow

163
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: running the football. The Bills have not developed a run game.

164
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: Their run game is Josh Allen if he's already banged

165
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: up on his throwing arm throwing elbow. Are the Bills

166
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 2: going to feel comfortable calling those designed quarterback runs and

167
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: those designed quarterback runs and going to the have to

168
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 2: lean on a running game that does not really exist.

169
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: That to me, is problematic for them. So there are

170
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: a lot of red flags for the Bills. Who I again,

171
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: they're a very good team, but I cautioned everyone they're

172
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: being crowned a little too early. A Josh Allen injury

173
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: obviously is the worst case scenario for them. It looks

174
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: like they're dealing with it right now. So all right,

175
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: we can move on to Jeff Saturday.

176
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: All right, right after our show ended Monday could take

177
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 4: Coach Frank Reich was fired. Later that day, Owner Jim

178
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: Ers made the wildest move in recent NFL history, and

179
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 4: that being he hired analysts and former center Jeff Saturday

180
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 4: is their interim head coach, whomors this swirling Saturday. Saturday

181
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 4: may add dan Or Lobsky to his staff. Two questions,

182
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 4: how do you not take the Raiders minus six at

183
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 4: home against Indy? And if you were in Saturday's position,

184
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 4: which one of your media colleagues would you hire as

185
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 4: your staff?

186
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: Oh? All right, that last question is interesting. So I

187
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: am taking gambling show tomorrow. I am taking the Raiders.

188
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: I just feel like it's a must bet that the

189
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: Colts had the worst offense in the NFL by any

190
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 2: team this season. The worst offensive game anyone's played, in

191
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 2: my opinion and in some statistical opinion, was the game

192
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: last week against the Patriots, right that they that was

193
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: after they fired their offensive court endor. They've now fired

194
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: their offensive minded head coach and play caller. They're now

195
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: having some thirty year old call plays and Jeff Saturday

196
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: is the head coach. So I do love the Raiders

197
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: this weekend. Maybe Saturday will be great, but he also

198
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: as far as experience goes is none. Excuse me, and

199
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to go further. Dion Sanders, the great Dion Sanders,

200
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: one of the greatest players ever. Two years ago, was

201
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: hired to be the head coach at Jackson State, an

202
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: FCS college with no coaching experience outside of high school.

203
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 2: And they criticize that move. How do you hire him?

204
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: How do you skips all the steps? He's not gonna

205
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 2: have the experience, he's not gonna know what it takes.

206
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: That was one of the greatest players ever in small

207
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: division college football. You're now taking a good player who

208
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: hasn't coached at any level and putting him as the

209
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 2: head coach of an NFL team. It is one of

210
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: the most ridiculous and indefensible coaching hires in sports history.

211
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: That is not in debate. Now that does that mean

212
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: he definitely will fail, No, but it is. It's insulting

213
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: to obviously to minority candidates that can't get a look

214
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 2: even if they've been coordinators and for fifteen years. It's

215
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: insulting to guys of any race who have been trying

216
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: to grind their way up in the coaching profession. And

217
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: it's insulting to the players on the colts. Okay, now

218
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: to the more interesting part. Who would I hire? So,

219
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: if I were the head coach of an NFL team,

220
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: I would hire Bill Barnwell to run my analytics department,

221
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 2: without any question at all, run my analytics and he

222
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 2: would be on the front office side of things. And

223
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 2: I guess I actually I don't know. If he would

224
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: run my analytics department, Barnwell would run, he would be nobody.

225
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: You couldn't make any trades or sign any contracts without

226
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 2: running them by Barnwell. And the value that you have

227
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 2: to give up, I think he's brilliant at that. My

228
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 2: analytics department I obviously would run, but I would bring

229
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: in I would consider trying to bring in Ben Baldwin,

230
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: who is on Twitter at on at computer Cowboy. He

231
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: is some good I like his fourth down bot he built.

232
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: I like that he would do my guy up in

233
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: the booth. It's a bot. He built a computer program

234
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: that automatically says kick punt, go for it, and does

235
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: it for every game, and I trust his methodology. I

236
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: would hire Manginie to run my defense. I think man

237
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: Genie is gotten a short shrift on what he did

238
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: in the NFL, and I think he's actually pretty I

239
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: am he's still really locked in and tied in any

240
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: other media colleagues. I wouldn't hire Orlovsky, not because I

241
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: don't respect him, but I don't think Orlovsky likes me.

242
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: Orlofsky's on the list of guys that I think doesn't

243
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: respect me. I don't have any evidence of that. It's

244
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: just my gut respec. Yeah. Well, it's hard to you

245
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: can like someone and not respect them. No, you can

246
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: respect someone and not like them. It's very hard to

247
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: like someone if you don't respect them, right, you know

248
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: what I mean? Uh, And I don't know why I

249
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: just uh Now. I also, who did I think that about? Oh?

250
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: I did a podcast with Ethan Strauss and I told

251
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: him I didn't think he liked or respected me. He

252
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 2: told me I was wrong. So maybe it's my own

253
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: self consciousness.

254
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 3: Uh.

255
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think. Is there anyone else I'd be like, Oh,

256
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: I gotta get him.

257
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 4: No.

258
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: I think it'd be Mangini for the defense, Barnwell for

259
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: the front office, and Ben Baldwin for the analytics department,

260
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: and I'll oversee everything else the I can I tell

261
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: you something. I couldn't design offenses, but I could call

262
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: plays like I couldn't. Someone else would have to design

263
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: the plays. But you don't play Madden for twenty five

264
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 2: years and not know how to call some plays? All right?

265
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: By the way, Paul, question fifty to fifty? Would Demonse

266
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: be a better head coach than Jeff Saturday? Take that?

267
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: All right?

268
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: Neck?

269
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: All right?

270
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 4: Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll gave a big shout out

271
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: to his quarterback for wearing a wristband. Yeah, he said,

272
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 4: the communication between him and Gino is much better and

273
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 4: more efficient than it was before shade thrown at Russ. Well,

274
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 4: Russ didn't like that and came back and said that

275
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 4: he won a lot of games in Seattle without wearing

276
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 4: a ristband. Or Seahawks the first team in NFL history

277
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 4: to be winning out of spite.

278
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so a couple of things. One is, we recognize

279
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 2: Demonte's mike has a bit of an echo. We'll make

280
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: sure we fix that during the break. But bear with

281
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: us here. Here's what I find so intriguing about the Seahawks.

282
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: And first of Geno's one of the best stories in

283
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: the league. It's great. And yeah, sorry, I mean, I

284
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: feel badly. I just yeah, you're not even supposed to live.

285
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: We know your MIC's an issue, so he's got to

286
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: be quiet for a minute. Not your fault. Gino's an

287
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 2: unbelievable story. What I find so fascinating is this team seemingly,

288
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: to a man, really really disliked Russ. Pete Carroll had

289
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: no reason to take this shot at Russ. It was

290
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: no one was asking about Russ, no one was asking

291
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 2: about the past. They were just praising Gino, and he

292
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: couldn't help himself but to throw it in. So here's

293
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: my theory, So we know why the defensive players didn't

294
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 2: like Russ. Set the corniness aside. They felt he got

295
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 2: too much credit for their greatness. That the team was

296
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: built on the legion to boom and a great defense,

297
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 2: and Russ got the glory, and they felt that that

298
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: all manifested itself ultimately at the worst moment possible, when

299
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 2: instead of running the ball and having marsh Sean Lynch

300
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: who was not defensive player but was more in that

301
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: click if you will, with Sherman and Thomas and those guys,

302
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 2: they called a pass play for Russ so he could

303
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 2: be Super Bowl MVP, and they end up losing the

304
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Russ throws a pick, so we know where

305
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: that came from, and we know where it all. You know,

306
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: he came to a head right where I think Pete Carroll,

307
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 2: who clearly has a sour taste in his mouth about Russ,

308
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 2: despite the fact that Pete Carroll was a losing coach

309
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL and then got Russ, went to Russ,

310
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: they won a Super Bowl, they had massive success. Where

311
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 2: I think Pete's bitterness comes from is I think Pete

312
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 2: feels like I chose you over the defensive guys. We

313
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 2: paid you. We traded those guys away. You wanted me

314
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 2: to hire Shane Waldron. I hired Shane Waldron. We put

315
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: the team in your hands. We did all of those

316
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 2: things I cost myself, these other relations and chips, and

317
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 2: then you demand it out. I did all of these

318
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 2: things in service to you, and then you demanded out.

319
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: And I get that. I get that. Not it's not

320
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: a marriage, but to use a messy metaphor, if no

321
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 2: matter how much great history you have with somebody, if

322
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they're like, I don't like your friends,

323
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: I don't like who you're hanging out with, I don't

324
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: like what your you know, your hobbies, and you cut

325
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: all those things off in service of your significant other,

326
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 2: and then your significant other is still like I'm out anyway,

327
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 2: you'd be extra upset. It's like I made all these

328
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 2: sacrifices for you, for us, and then you bounced. So

329
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 2: I think that's where it comes from with Pete Carroll

330
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 2: and I understand it all right, quickly asked the net question.

331
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 4: All right, the nets are locked in on interim head

332
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 4: coach Jack eat Jack Jack Vaughan to be there to

333
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 4: be their coach through twenty four.

334
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 2: By the way, he didn't say jockey. He said Jacques,

335
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: that was the echo. That was that was the echo.

336
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 3: Go ahead.

337
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 4: John Mark said that he is the the was the

338
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 4: clear cut choice, despite the email a dooka rumors. Reports

339
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 4: say strong voices in the league push Joe's sides to

340
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 4: pass on Adoka. Now Vaughn is stepping stepping right into

341
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 4: an unprecedented Kyrie situation. The Nets crusted the Knicks last night.

342
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 4: Do you think they finally took a step in the

343
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 4: right direction.

344
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: Okay, so the Nets just don't know what they're doing.

345
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: The the the idea that you would be steeped in

346
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: all this controversy and then leak to everyone in the

347
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 2: world you're hiring Udoka without being certain you're hiring him

348
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: is baffling. It is a wild decision just a while.

349
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: So that's that's Sean Marks and management not knowing what

350
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: they're doing. Now. Jacques Vaughan. Jacqu Vaughan was the coach

351
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: of the Magic for three years, the fourth worst winning

352
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: percentage in NBA history. Okay, it's Sidney Low, Tim Floyd,

353
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: Kurt Rambas, Jacques bawling for guys who got at least

354
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: two hundred games. However, with the Nets, he's been good now.

355
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: He's been there for six years. He was the interim

356
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: after Katie and Gyrie pushed out. Kenny Atkinson did well

357
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 2: with them in the bubble. They get to the playoffs,

358
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 2: but they decided not to hire they go with the

359
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: Katie and Kyrie want Nash, so they go with Nash instead.

360
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: Right now he's there, they do look better and they're

361
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: going with him. The concerns are he knows and everyone

362
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 2: knows he wasn't the first choice. That's not you know

363
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 2: what I mean. He said it. He said it in his

364
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: press conference. He's like, listen, I don't know what was

365
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: my wife's first choice. Been together twenty years. I mean,

366
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: he said it. What's most notable to me is it's

367
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 2: hard to separate the Nets seemingly turning in a corner.

368
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 2: They played the best game last night they played in

369
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 2: two years. I understand they're playing the Knicks, but that's

370
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 2: how the Nets were allowing one hundred and sixteen points

371
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: per game under Vaughan. They're allowing ninety. Okay, they but

372
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 2: it is hard to separate. Is this a Jacques Bond

373
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: thing or is this a Kyrie not there without Kyrie

374
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: either three and one. Steven's been excellent. KD played his

375
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: best game of the season last night, had an easy

376
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 2: twenty nine point triple double. And I do not believe

377
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: Kyrie contributes to winning basketball. I do not believe he

378
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: makes them better. And I do not believe that when

379
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: he finally, you know, if he gets unsuspended, they are

380
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 2: better with him than without him. Also, at the game

381
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 2: last night, and you've got there is the foot Let

382
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 2: me put it like this giant group of guys all

383
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: over the entrances to the stadium with megaphones, passing out

384
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 2: literature who seemed to like that movie that Kyrie promoted

385
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: even more than a hell of a lot more than

386
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 2: Kyrie did that I posted it on Twitter.

387
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 3: But the.

388
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: Headline of the flyer that they were handing out in

389
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 2: front of Barclay's Center is the truth about anti Semitism

390
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 2: and then long passages. So and if you want to

391
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 2: read it, you can check on my Twitter. So that

392
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 2: when Kyrie says, you know, I'm not you know, you

393
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 2: guys act like I have some big platform. Kyrie's tweet

394
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 2: and the ensuing controversy has now brought that to the nets. Doorstep.

395
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 2: You then add to the fact I don't think he

396
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 2: helps them on the court, and I think Jacques Vaughan

397
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: is about to deal with at and Sean marks a

398
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 2: very difficult situation because all of a sudden, the Nets

399
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 2: look like a real basketball team and they can play

400
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: real defense, and that's without Ben Simmons doing anything, and

401
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: Durant looks happy, and it is a very tricky situation

402
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: for Jacques Vaughn, who's now finally getting his second chance

403
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 2: as an NBA head coach. So there's that. With all

404
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 2: that said, the Nets are in far better shape than

405
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: the Lakers, who are an unmitigated disaster. We discuss them

406
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,439

416
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: with Nick? Right, we will get to a game in

417
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,239
Speaker 2: a moment, but first, de Mon's we need to talk

418
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 2: a little bit about the Lake.

419
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 3: Talk about your Lakers, man.

420
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 4: They are now two and nine, lost to the Clippers

421
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 4: by thirteen without the quiet one.

422
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 3: What's going on?

423
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 2: Okay, and Lebron got hurt. So Lebron, we don't know

424
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 2: if it's a groin or what it is. If he

425
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 2: just doesn't want to play with these guys. No, no, no,

426
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 2: I mean he clearly injured himself last night. I mean

427
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 2: they took him out of the game, and so yes, listen,

428
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 2: Lebron for the first sixteen years of his career was

429
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: the most indestructible athlete in the history of basket I

430
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 2: mean I watched him suffer a high ankle sprain, titan

431
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: issue is up and just go finish. He never missed

432
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: time with injuries despite playing super high minutes a super

433
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: physical style. Then, in year seventeen against the Warriors on Christmas,

434
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 2: his first year with the Lakers, he tore his growing

435
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 2: you're wait, was that hold on? Is this his fifth year?

436
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: Hold on? This year twenty? Oh, so I guess it was.

437
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you're sixteen. He tore is growing. You're seventeen.

438
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: They won the title. He was healthy, you're eighteen. Solomon

439
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 2: Hill somersaulted into his ankle. He was injured all year.

440
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 2: Last year, he was mostly healthy until the end of

441
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 2: the year. There's year nineteen, Now it's your twenty. He

442
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: was dealing with a foot injury, now dealing with the

443
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 2: leg injury. This is what happens. He's played the most

444
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 2: minutes of any player in the history of the sport

445
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 2: playoffs and regular season combined, where he's second to Kareem

446
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: On that he's in year twenty. He's the third oldest

447
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 2: guy in the whole league, and he's playing these types

448
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 2: of minutes. The only guy's older than him are Iguidala

449
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 2: and Haslam who Haslim doesn't play at all, and I right,

450
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 2: and Ida barely plays. So it's sad, but this is inevitable.

451
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 2: That is not the biggest problem with the Lakers. So

452
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: a couple. So they're playing the Clippers last night, right,

453
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 2: the Clippers did not have Kawhi Leonard Yet the Clippers, somehow,

454
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 2: despite not having Kawhi Leonard all year long, are a

455
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: competent organization. They didn't have Kawhi Leonard all last year,

456
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: won forty two games. There's still a legitimate NBA team

457
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 2: without Kawhi Leonard. You know why this is because Lawrence

458
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 2: Frank has built out a real NBA roster. You have

459
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 2: the Stars. They did what the Lakers did, traded all

460
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: their assets for Paul George, like the Lakers did with Lebron. Now,

461
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: they didn't win a title, and I'm not the the

462
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: Lakers won that title. Lebron was unbelievable. Anthony Davis was

463
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: great in the ball. That's fine. But what Rob Blink

464
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: is done with this Lakers roster post winning the title,

465
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 2: It honestly would have been better to spin a Goddog wheel.

466
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 2: It was if you were intentionally trying to build the

467
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: worst basketball teams possible. But you have to have Lebron, James,

468
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis on the team. You could not do worse

469
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 2: than Blink has done the last.

470
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 3: Two years, mixing up what well, mixing up all those ingredients.

471
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 2: Like absolutely right. So let me give you another team,

472
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: not just the Clippers, something else interesting happened yesterday the

473
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks played. The Milwaukee Bucks did not have Chris Middleton.

474
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 2: They haven't had them all year. In this game, they

475
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 2: didn't have Drew Holliday and Jannis took the night off.

476
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: No Joannis, no Holiday, no Middleton. They won. They beat

477
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 2: the Thunder Ironers, and Thunder, a bad team, beat him

478
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: in overtime. You know why, because they have a legitimate

479
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: NBA roster. They have built a real team, and it

480
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 2: is unfathomable to me.

481
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 4: So I've had a couple of like people that come

482
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 4: in the messages telling me, a couple of fans of

483
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 4: the show saying that raj Ahon Rondo has always been

484
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 4: like the clear fix for the Lakers.

485
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: You buy into that, No, he's too old at this point,

486
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: but I do buy into that Anthony Davis's offense has

487
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 2: fallen off a cliff and they don't have a point guard.

488
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 4: He also is saying that he's mad that he's playing

489
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 4: I mean, he didn't say he's mad, but he said

490
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 4: that he's uncomfortable playing the five.

491
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: He is, but fuck up, buddy. But regardless that those

492
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: should be the issues in the margins, the Lakers have

493
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: done such a horrific job that trading Anthony Davis is

494
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 2: now on the board. Yeah. And I said before the

495
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 2: year that their whole playan of oh, we're going to

496
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: keep Russ and make it work when they're playing, was

497
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: never to make it work with Russ. The plan was

498
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 2: wait and see if a trade better than Turner and

499
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: Healed comes around for us and those picks. And I

500
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: said on this show and on the TV show, better

501
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: be careful because with that opening schedule, you could be

502
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 2: two and eight after ten games and the season's basically over.

503
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: Now it's eleven games, they're two and nine. In NBA history,

504
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 2: teams to start two and nine only I saw this yesterday.

505
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: I wish I marked it. Less than ten percent have

506
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 2: finished above five hundred above five hundred, only four have

507
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: made the playoffs, and only one has won a playoff series.

508
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: NBA history teams starting two and nine, so they're totally ruined.

509
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 2: They might end up trading Anthony Davis. And now I'm

510
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 2: gonna give you the one bright side.

511
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 3: Okay.

512
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: I do think now the Nets right now are playing well.

513
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 2: When Kyrie comes back. I don't know how sustainable all

514
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: that is, Okay, I do think there is at least

515
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: a conversation if the Lakers call the Nets and say, listen,

516
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 2: Katie's unhappy. He wanted out. The Ben Simmons contract is

517
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: a disaster with three and a half years left on it.

518
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: You also don't have picks. We will give you Anthony

519
00:31:52,800 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 2: Davis and Russell Westbrook's expiring contract plus our two picks

520
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: in twenty seven and twenty nine four Tyrie nod for

521
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 2: KD and Ben, and then Kyrie walks in the offseason.

522
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 2: Russ's contract expires. You have Anthony Davis, You have built

523
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: back up some of your draft capital, and all of

524
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 2: a sudden you're in New York City with Anthony Davis

525
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: and max salary cap space. And that's how you're going

526
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: to rebuild eighties twenty nine. It's five years younger than KD.

527
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: You're not winning anything this year. I would I don't

528
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: think they would do AD and two picks for Kevin Durant.

529
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: I don't think the Nets would do that, Okay, I

530
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: think if you However, if you gave them a way

531
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: to get out of Ben Simmons deal, which is like, oh,

532
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 2: why would they want Russ? Well, Russ actually coming off

533
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: the bench, playing a little bit better, But that doesn't matter.

534
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 2: What you would want is the fact that contract expires.

535
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 2: Kyrie's contract is expiring after this year. You would just

536
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: have Anthony Davis and Joe Harris is on a bad deal.

537
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: But that's the only bad contract you'd have. And you

538
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 2: have max cap space CAP's gonna go up soon you're

539
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 2: in New York City, you're more like that. That's their

540
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 2: path forward. That's the Lakers only save, and it wouldn't

541
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: even save this year. By the time that happens, this

542
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 2: year is already going to be done. So that's the

543
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 2: one silver lining. But I don't trust Rob Blinka to

544
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: do that. Rob blink is and and Lakers ownership for

545
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 2: continuing to empower Polinka because he was Kobe's agent and

546
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 2: they have such loyalty there is insane to me.

547
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 4: All Right, let's play a game. All right, it's time

548
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 4: for a game. It's all in or fold.

549
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 3: Yep.

550
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 4: First one we got here is Obj listed Dallas as

551
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 4: a potential landing spot in Jerry Jones, Mike McCarthy, and

552
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 4: Ezekiel Elliott all said they want him all interfold.

553
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 3: Obj is missing is the missing piece for Dallas.

554
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: Okay, I'd really rather I'd really rather not do either

555
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: one of these because I kind of believe in it.

556
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to fold, but I certainly don't want

557
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 2: to go all in saying it's the missing piece.

558
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 3: But I will.

559
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 2: I'll say so. I'm going to describe a team to you.

560
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 2: A defensive Player of the Year, Hall of Fame caliber

561
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: front seven defensive player, an All Pro caliber corner, a

562
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: good wide receiving corps already, a quarterback who has put

563
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: up great numbers in the regular season but has no

564
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 2: postseason success. I just described to you this year's Dallas

565
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 2: Cowboys and last year's Los Angeles Rams. What did the

566
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: Rams do around this time last year? Added Odell Beckham junior.

567
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 2: He was the missing piece in a wide open NFC.

568
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 2: Did the Cowboys have a lot of similarities there? Would

569
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 2: it make a lot of sense? Would he work? If

570
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: he's My concern with Odell is he's had too many injuries,

571
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 2: and when he comes back, he's not gonna be the

572
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 2: guy who was last year for the Rams, who was

573
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 2: sensational in the playoffs. If he is that guy, the

574
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 2: guy who was in the playoffs last year, then I

575
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 2: think this is a no brainer for Dallas and green

576
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 2: Bay's off the board now because they stink. The Rams

577
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 2: to me, are off the board now because they stink.

578
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 2: The Niners don't need him. They have too many other weapons.

579
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 2: The Bucks aren't very good, and they wide receivers. The

580
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 2: one spot. They got plenty of guys at don't I

581
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 2: never thought Buffalo was a realistic spot for Odell, and

582
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 2: they have plenty of receivers. The Chiefs just added their receiver,

583
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: you know what. So to me, it's if Odell's gonna

584
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 2: play this year, it is either with Dallas or with

585
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 2: the Giants. In a reunions. Seahawks have lock in a

586
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: Metcalf and the Seahawks aren't really like a blue chip

587
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 2: franchise like Mark Kee, like New Go back to New

588
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 2: York or go to Dallas. That's what I see Odell

589
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 2: doing next this.

590
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 3: Green Bay beat Dallas this week. Awesome.

591
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no, green Bay does not be Dallas.

592
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 2: I think Dallas crushes That's what I think.

593
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

594
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 2: And by the way, the poll of the people in

595
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 2: the poll say yes, sixty percent say Odell should sign

596
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 2: with Dallas.

597
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 4: All right, next, all right, Milwaukee finally fell for the

598
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 4: first time this season, but got back on track in

599
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 4: double OT and their double OT win versus the Thunder

600
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 4: without the honest they're looking like the best team in basketball,

601
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 4: and they're still Missy and Chris Middleton all interfall of

602
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 4: the Bucks will win sixty five games.

603
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 2: Sixty five is tough and the team. If you win

604
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 2: sixty five or more, historically you are an overwhelming title favorite.

605
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 2: That now, the Rockets won sixty five few years agame

606
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 2: ago lost to the Wars in the conference finals. It's

607
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: not a sure thing, but sixty Once you get sixty

608
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 2: five plus, you are in the history, you know, best

609
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 2: regular season teams ever category, right, right? Yeah, I think

610
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: they're winning sixty five games.

611
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're definitely.

612
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: I mean, they're clearly the best team. Yeah, and Yannis

613
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 2: has been great, But it's not even like Giannis has

614
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: been unbelievable, you know what I mean. The Yannis is

615
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 2: so clearly the best player in the league. It's because

616
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 2: of what he does on both ends. It's not even

617
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 2: a discussion. No one can argue otherwise. I mean, the Bucks,

618
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: they've built a real team.

619
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 3: Now.

620
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 2: I don't love the fact that Grayson Allen gets minutes

621
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 2: for them, but that is really picking knits. That is

622
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 2: an excellent team that should be the two time defending champs.

623
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 2: We should be talking about a Bucks dynasty. If Middleton

624
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 2: didn't get hurt, they would have worked the Warriors. And

625
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 2: by the way, the Warriors had.

626
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 3: To work somebody else to get to the Warriors.

627
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: What do you mean? Who what he's all about?

628
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 3: You said they would have worked the Warriors.

629
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the finals, here's all about the Celtics. But

630
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,320
Speaker 2: they played the Celtics and they lost in seven games

631
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: without Middleton. Okay, but they would have the Okay, Listen,

632
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: I understand that. I believe they would have won that

633
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 2: series with Middleton. I think you believe they would have

634
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 2: won that series with Middleton. By the way, it's not

635
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 2: in today's show. I just want to get on the

636
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 2: record again because I did it on TV. I want

637
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 2: to do it here. Folks are underrating that the Warriors

638
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 2: might be in real, real trouble. Yeah, they're four and seven.

639
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 2: Their last win step was against the Kings by three.

640
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 2: Steph had to go forty seven to eight and eight

641
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 2: and they had to get very lucky calls down the stretch. Shockingly,

642
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 2: they so what is disappointing for the Warriors and they

643
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 2: didn't see coming was that none of the young guys

644
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 2: seemingly have improved and Wiseman's going in the other direction.

645
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 2: What should not surprise them at all is the vibes

646
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 2: might be off after Draymond's slug Jordan Poole, All right, next.

647
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 4: All right, you're the Luka Doncon started his season only

648
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 4: trailing Wilt Chamberlain for most thirty point games to start

649
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 4: start a season. Yeah, the streak ended last night, but

650
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 4: he leads his team in points, assists, rebounds, and steals

651
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 4: all interfold, Luca is greater than Will.

652
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 2: Okay, well, no, we got to fold on Lucas not

653
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 2: greater than Will. But do you think Luca is the

654
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 2: second best player in the league? So let me give

655
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 2: you the Let me just give you the possible names

656
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 2: guys who are in the discussion. Okay, and I'll give you.

657
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 2: I'll give it. Do you think he's better than Yeah?

658
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 3: Did Tatum?

659
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go in reverse or Okay, do you think

660
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 2: he's better than Tatum?

661
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 3: Yeah? Possibly?

662
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 4: I think that one's kind of neck and necking and

663
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 4: maybe Luca gets the advantage.

664
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 2: Okay, so I know that hurts you, but yes, do

665
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 2: you think he's better than Tatum. Do you think is

666
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 2: better than Jokic? Yeah, let me too. Do you think

667
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:53,919
Speaker 2: he's better than Steph?

668
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 3: I don't know.

669
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 2: Their defenses are both right, call him, call him a

670
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 2: wash on defense. Who's the better offensive player, Louke.

671
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 3: Or step Luca? I mean he controls the ball. Yeah,

672
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:04,280
Speaker 3: so okay.

673
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 2: Do you think is better than Jah?

674
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gotta be.

675
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 2: Do you think it's better than Durant?

676
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

677
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 4: Whenever I think of Luca, I'm comparing these guys, like

678
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 4: he's able to go down there and control the ball

679
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 4: this ship, yeah, yeah, I mean all around.

680
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's just be honest, he's the second best player

681
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 2: in the league. He's I mean, you and I two

682
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 2: weeks ago saw him in person yea and.

683
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:35,320
Speaker 3: Total control.

684
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 2: Total it is lebron esque, just total control over everything

685
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 2: on the court on the offensive end. And I know

686
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 2: everyone kills him for the usage, like, oh, you can't

687
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: win a title with one guy dominating the ball, like

688
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 2: there's all this stuff.

689
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 3: He's never play like that to where it runs him down.

690
00:40:54,480 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: Well, and that's not a criticism in my opinion, until

691
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: we see him do that at the expense of a

692
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 2: good player. He's never at an All Star teammate. He's

693
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,919
Speaker 2: never had a guy. The only teammate he's ever had

694
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: to make an All Star team was his rookie year,

695
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 2: which was Dirk's final year. Dirk got an honorary All

696
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 2: Star spot because his twentieth year in the league, but

697
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 2: he was not an All Star player. Now we're to

698
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 2: on Lakers earlier. What is interesting is this, they're as

699
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: great as Luca is. He is not a perfect fit

700
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 2: with everybody. Okay, so like he's not available, But let's

701
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 2: say the MAVs could get Dame. That's not really a

702
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 2: perfect fit. Right there, there are the Now do I

703
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 2: think Tatum would be a great fit. Of course, because

704
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 2: Tatum is a two way player, doesn't have to have

705
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 2: the ball in his hands the whole time. TAM's not available,

706
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 2: right You've got to find the right type of star

707
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 2: to pair with him.

708
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis to the MAVs.

709
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 2: That is exactly right now. The MAVs don't have the

710
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 2: it'd have to be a weird three team trade. But

711
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 2: that is the perfect player in the league for Luca.

712
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 2: Because Ad doesn't really want the ball a ton, He

713
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 2: is a defensive force. He can still stretch the floor

714
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 2: a bit. It's perfect. That is the That is the

715
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 2: which is why. By the way, who's the guy Luca

716
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 2: plays the best with or Luca plays the most like Lebron,

717
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 2: Lebron and Ad they won a title the first year together.

718
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 2: Like the guy the MAVs should want, like be thinking

719
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 2: about targeting five years from now. Is Evan Mobile Evan

720
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 2: Mobley the center for the or power forwards, last center

721
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 2: for the Cavs. He's like a Kevin Garnett clone type

722
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 2: of guy. That's the If you could bring a guy

723
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 2: from history to pair with Luca, my number one pick

724
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 2: might be Garnett because Garnett doesn't need the ball, is

725
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: an unbelievable a defensive player, one of the best ever,

726
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: and can the and can also score efficiently. So it

727
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 2: is a tough one and I don't know how the

728
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 2: Maps are gonna get the guy. But it's not like

729
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 2: Lucas freezing out great players.

730
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 4: All right, next, All right, we've now discussed this twice,

731
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 4: but let's get an official prediction.

732
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 3: All interfold. The Lakers will trade AD this year.

733
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 2: I've fold. I don't think they will. I think there's

734
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 2: an argument they should, but I don't think they will

735
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 2: the there bad. They just don't know what they're doing.

736
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 2: They just don't know what they're doing. All right.

737
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 4: Next, all right, you had a tweet Tuesday night shouting

738
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 4: out Colorado.

739
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 3: I think we might show the tweet up here.

740
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the Colorado legalized psychedelics.

741
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:34,919
Speaker 3: I thought that happened a while ago.

742
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 2: They might have decriminalized it.

743
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 3: They legalized it. They legalized like you can get caught

744
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 3: with it.

745
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 2: In No, that's decriminalized is you get caught with it

746
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 2: and you don't go to jail. Legalized is you can

747
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 2: go to the store and buy them, right, I thought

748
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: that was going on. Oh but I could be Uh

749
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 2: so I wrote, I know literally on Denver Sportsman tape

750
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 2: me and I'm not welcome there. But y'all do government right?

751
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 2: And your state is beautiful. Can I visit maybe Boulder

752
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 2: at least?

753
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 3: Go ahead?

754
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, all under fold, Colorado is the best state in

755
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 4: the country.

756
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 3: All right.

757
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 2: I'm not ready to call it the best state in

758
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 2: the country, however, it is over the last decade. The way,

759
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 2: in my opinion for my listen, I'm not gonna talk

760
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 2: politics here, but I will reveal mine to a degree.

761
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 2: The way Florida has plummeted on the Places I Could

762
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 2: Live list, and Colorado has skyrocketed. You then add to it,

763
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 2: if you're concerned about climate change the way I am,

764
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 2: Colorado seems relatively immune to it. There's not like I'm

765
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 2: not gonna be earthquakes, that's not a climate change thing.

766
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 2: Not gonna have to worry about sea level There the

767
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 2: did I eat. I love the politics. It's beautiful. You

768
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 2: get all four seasons. You have an NBA team. Really

769
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 2: sucks that Broncos and Nuggets fans hate me, so it

770
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 2: really sucks. I think they they're in the process of

771
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 2: potentially voting Bobert out. That's the one that I showed

772
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: you the real close on sixty four votes. Yeah, three

773
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 2: hundred thousand votes cast. It is as of this moment,

774
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 2: a sixty four vote differential. So yeah, I mean, Colorado

775
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 2: is a great place. When the pandemic was when New York,

776
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 2: when we were like locked in our house and it

777
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 2: was just ambulance sirens and they had a you know,

778
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 2: a makeshift Morgan Central Park, and I thought things were

779
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 2: really really going to go left. Oh, at the beginning

780
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 2: of the pandemic, you weren't here you were in Kansas City. Yeah, no,

781
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 2: I mean there was must have been really sad out here,

782
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 2: but it was it was hard shift more what do

783
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 2: you mean? I mean they had to there were so

784
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 2: many dead bodies. They had to. They had to do

785
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 2: a makeshift Morgan Central Park. They brought a Navy ship

786
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 2: and put it off where by where Chelsea Piers is

787
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: as a makeshift more and there's just too many New

788
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 2: York In the very beginning, it was awful, awful, and

789
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 2: I didn't know what was gonna happen with the world.

790
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: I'm not a doomsday prepper, but was I looking at

791
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 2: ranches in Colorado, like places that had their own water

792
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 2: and like little underground bunkers. I was, but a lot

793
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 2: of a lot of people were a lot of people

794
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 2: were because they were expensive.

795
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

796
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 2: But is it like on the board demands that the

797
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:39,399
Speaker 2: next with, you know, fingers crossed, assuming I get one

798
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 2: that with the next time I get a big lump

799
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 2: sum of money at TV contract or something that I

800
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 2: just buy on speculation, like ten acres somewhere outside of Denver,

801
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 2: just to own, just like as a worst case scenario,

802
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 2: like whole family is it holes up there?

803
00:46:58,239 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

804
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 2: I like I like Colorado, all right. I like its

805
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 2: central location, I like its politics. I don't mind the snow.

806
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 2: I like Colorado a lot. I also promised those people

807
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 2: that if Bobert loses, I'm going to go on TV

808
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 2: and say something nice about Nikola Jokich. So there's that. Hey, Well,

809
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 2: answer your questions from the chat. That's next, plus a

810
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:21,520

Speaker 2: Welcome back in episode ninety three, What's Right with nick Right?

813
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 2: Last week's book club went far too long, and it

814
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 2: was because I didn't have my copy of the book,

815
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 2: so I didn't have the parts highlighted. There's a couple

816
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 2: things I just want to mention again. We're up to

817
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 2: page one fifty in is it right past one fifty?

818
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 3: We're up to.

819
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: Page one fifty five a chapter twenty five and Eh

820
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 2: combricks a little history of the world. For next week

821
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 2: we are going to because we only have two more

822
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 2: weeks to finish this, so you know what, let's make

823
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 2: it easy this week and for next week we are

824
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 2: going to get to chapter thirty two. We're gonna get

825
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 2: to page two oh six. What's so funny the I

826
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 2: read books and this can because it's a history book

827
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 2: be a little dry, so I'm gonna be very quick here.

828
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 2: There's just a few things here that I found really interesting.

829
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 2: So the beginning of our section this week was really

830
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,240
Speaker 2: about the Roman Empire. Okay, so they talk about Julius

831
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 2: Caesar and how much he you know, he essentially conquered

832
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 2: the world. So do you know, have you ever heard

833
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 2: the phrase demons at two brute? At two Brutus? Okay,

834
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 2: So Julius Caesar was incredibly the most powerful man in

835
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 2: the world, is kind of the ruler of the world,

836
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 2: head of the Roman Empire. And then his friends and

837
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 2: colleagues got sick effect, he had so much power in

838
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 2: the stab him and one of the people that sapped

839
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 2: him was Brutus, who was his friend and famously historically

840
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 2: he said at two brute, but he was being stabbed

841
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 2: because he's like even you, Bruce, So like when a

842
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 2: friend betrays you at to brute is like, that's what

843
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 2: you would have said, Opey this week, sorry, should we

844
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 2: demonte got an argument with a friend of his. I

845
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 2: was very proud by the way proud parenting moment. Uh

846
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 2: demand sometimes gets like very loud and it's a little concerning. Yeah,

847
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 2: I don't love. I'm not the best example of this,

848
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 2: but I don't love how you control your anger at times.

849
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 2: Sometimes you get to a twelve when maybe it should

850
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 2: simmer at an eight. However, Demande was yelling, yelling at

851
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 2: a friend of his. But it was because Demanse was

852
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 2: trying to fight for righteousness.

853
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he was also I had in my air

854
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 4: body was also screaming at me.

855
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 2: I was okay, right, but he's not my kid, my

856
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 2: responsibility the but but Demanse was fighting legitimately angry with

857
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 2: his friend because he thought his friend was being I

858
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 2: don't want to wrong side on the wrong side of

859
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 2: history on something, and Demonse was fighting for a righteous cause.

860
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 2: So what's interest? So remember how I we talked about Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,

861
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 2: the gods. So the Julian calendar is the one we

862
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 2: still use. Named after Julius Caesar, he gets a month

863
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 2: named after him, July for Julius and his adopted son

864
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 2: who took over after him was Augustus, and that's where

865
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 2: we get august from. How about that? Also, I don't

866
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 2: have your mom has all these nicknames for everyone, what

867
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 2: do you I don't have a nickname for you, I

868
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 2: just call you pau What do you think of the

869
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 2: nickname Augustus?

870
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 3: Augustus?

871
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 2: Can I tell you why so Julius Caesar? That would

872
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 2: make me like Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar is one of

873
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 2: the most powerful men in the world. His adopted son

874
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 2: who took over for him was Augustus. So I think

875
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 2: I might circle on you, Aggie. Can we make a

876
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 2: graphic of that? Then we get to talking about ponscious

877
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 2: pilot in Jesus Christ. It's very fascinating. Also, I underrated

878
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 2: how bad Narrow was. I might be saying it wrong.

879
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 2: Everybody I've heard of people reference the ruler Narrow about

880
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 2: how brutal he was. What I didn't know was he

881
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 2: had his own mother murdered, and his wife and tutor,

882
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 2: along with a number a number of their other relations

883
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 2: and friends because he lived in a constant fear of

884
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 2: an assassination. So he was just like, ah, I don't

885
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 2: love you, you scare me. Saw as have you killed?

886
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 2: The book then talks about how that if in the

887
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:32,479
Speaker 2: Roman Empire, if you weren't a Christian or a Jew

888
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 2: or a close relative of Narrow, if you just lived

889
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 2: like out in the land whose life was pretty peaceful

890
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 2: and pleasant. And then you talk about the Jersey chapter.

891
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: This is page one hundred where I'm reading from right there,

892
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 2: and he talks about the Emperor Trajan who built what what?

893
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 3: Chapter? What?

894
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 2: Chapter seventeen seventeen.

895
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 4: Well, it's the chapter that every really got me thinking,

896
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, about what the fact that they built those

897
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 4: colisseums I can hold like up to fifty thousand people.

898
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 4: It's just so crazy to think that like that that

899
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 4: could hold a sporting event now, but it was two

900
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 4: thousand years ago.

901
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 2: Like these guys are really gods. All right, you've now

902
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 2: tilted me here?

903
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:13,839
Speaker 3: What do you mean?

904
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 2: So that's a great observation, and it's a good point.

905
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 3: Did you read Yeah, I've been reading it. I've definitely

906
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 3: been keeping up. Man, you have no idea what I

907
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 3: do in my spare time.

908
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 2: Well, that's true, and I have you really been reading.

909
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 3: It somewhat cliff notes cliffs.

910
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 2: Notes of this book. All right, I'll take it. There's

911
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 2: book club for the week. Next week we get to

912
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 2: page I think it's two oh seven, and then the

913
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 2: following week we finish it. All right, let's answer some

914
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 2: questions from the readers, because then we got to go.

915
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 4: All right, First questions from Eric o'mayley. He asked, do

916
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 4: you ever bet NBA player props? Do you avoid betting

917
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 4: on small NBA slates such as the one tonight with

918
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 4: only four games?

919
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 2: I don't really bet NBA until the postseason or if

920
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 2: I'm going to a game. If I'm going to a game,

921
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 2: I'll bet just for some added entertainment. And I'm not

922
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 2: I'm not sharp on player props NFL or NBA.

923
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 4: Next, all right, Luke julian as, is the Draymond punch

924
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 4: affecting the Warriors or is it more of the lack

925
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 4: of bench production. Steph is playing like an MVP, yet

926
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 4: they aren't very good.

927
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, listen, I think the Draymond punch pool

928
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 2: has not gotten better.

929
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 3: Clay has like a little chip on his shoulder.

930
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Clay and Draymond have gotten a little bit worse

931
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 2: as you would expect. Wiseman's been a negative and Kaminga

932
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 2: and Moody aren't doing anything like Steph is really having

933
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 2: to carry that load. It Also, by the way, we

934
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 2: all need to come to grips with the fact that

935
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 2: I know the Warriors just won the title and then

936
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 2: two years before that the Lakers won the title, and

937
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 2: in the year in between it looked like the Nets

938
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,600
Speaker 2: and Durant, We're gonna win the title their first year

939
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 2: with Harden. It is in play, In fact, is overwhelmingly

940
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 2: likely that Lebron, Steph and Kadi that that that that

941
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 2: era is done, that this is the yannest Jah Luca

942
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 2: era that we are in the midst of, not that

943
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 2: that's on its way, that that's where we are right now.

944
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 4: Next assessment, Justin asked, are you guys gonna do something

945
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 4: special for episode one hundred coming up?

946
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 2: I hadn't thought about that, but yes, get on that,

947
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 2: folks at Blue Duck. I don't know what that means,

948
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 2: but let's do something.

949
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 3: Go ahead.

950
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,359
Speaker 4: The Hill asked, what would you do with Kawhi if

951
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 4: you were the GM of the clip?

952
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:29,240
Speaker 2: What can you do? I don't know. The the Kauhi

953
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 2: things the most baffling thing in sports right now. Did

954
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 2: he re injure his knee? What is happening? He got

955
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 2: hurt two seasons ago?

956
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 3: This is the play where the guy fell on him

957
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 3: after he was shooting, right, this is.

958
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 4: Which what do you mean? For two years ago Kawhi

959
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 4: was shooting and that somebody was in his landing span.

960
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 2: No, no, no, that was that was where Kwi got his

961
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 2: first mate was the first one with the first No,

962
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 2: the ace was he just went up for a jump

963
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 2: shot in the playoffs and landed.

964
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 3: Funny.

965
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 2: No, he didn't land on anyone, and they said he

966
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 2: had a knee sprain. But evidently towards ACL was two

967
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 2: years ago. I don't understand it.

968
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 4: Next all right, Lewis Haynes says, I rained from KC

969
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 4: and represent the finest of the city, from Peanut Wings

970
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 4: to Margarita's at Los Carals to or Lost Corral. Sorry

971
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 4: to shopping at the River Market. Oh the River Market,

972
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 4: I've been there before. What's your favorite barbecue in Kansas City?

973
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:29,680

974
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 2: Oh wow, and listening that's Lazlo and slimpization. Listen. The

975
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 2: best barbecue is jack Stack, But Jacksack is expensive. You

976
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:45,240
Speaker 2: need a reservation. It's you know what I mean, cloth tablecloths.

977
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 2: It's not a real barbecue joint. It's like a fine

978
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 2: dining place that serves barbecue. So it's in a separate category.

979
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,759
Speaker 2: So of the barbecue joints. Arthur Bryant's is far and

980
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 2: away my favorite. Arthur Bryants right next to Negro League

981
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 2: Museum down on Eighteenth buying. I think it's the best

982
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 2: barbecue join in the country. Joe's is good. All the

983
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 2: barbicane can't see it's good. It's the best barbecue place

984
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 2: in the world. But my favorite is Arthur Bryant's. All right.

985
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,319
