0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 2>We need fifteen thousand more subscribers to get to one

<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand. By We're gonna push. We've been saying New

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Year's by the end of the NFL regular season. That

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 2>gives us another an extra week. We're gonna try to

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 2>get there. I know we're getting there eventually, but for

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Demanse to get the thousand dollars cash bonus, we need

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 2>to be there by the end of the NFL regular season.

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>So tell your friends about the show also before we

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 2>get to what's actually on the show. So I feel

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 2>a little angst right now, little parental anks, because I

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 2>gave Demonse a very hard time a few weeks ago

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 2>about not having his AirPods for the show. He got

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 2>upset with me. Thought I was a little harsh on him.

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought I was told really reasonable. Today, en route

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 2>to the show, he double checked to make sure he

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:14.679
<v Speaker 2>had his AirPods in the uber, and he had them. Now,

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe this whole thing's arouse. Maybe I've been taken for

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 2>a ride. He's faking the angst, faking the angers. He's

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 2>just forgotten them again. I don't think that's the case.

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I think because I was so mad a few weeks ago,

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.919
<v Speaker 2>he then double checked made sure he had them. After

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 2>taking them out of his bag, making sure he had them,

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 2>he then left them in the uber. And I'm not

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.360
<v Speaker 2>upset about this at all. Demonse, on the other hand,

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 2>is beside himself. He is so upset because he just

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.079
<v Speaker 2>bought them. And it's not even about not having them

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 2>for the show. It's about the fact that it's like

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>lighting money on five. So in service to the quality

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>of the show, I have something to showed him. Monsey this.

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 2>There you go. So I've you I bought some new AirPods,

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 2>be picking them up.

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 3>We seem like a freaking little tort or something.

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not making it seem like anything you didn't

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 2>ask me for that you were gonna get them. I

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>happened to in the current situation make a little bit

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.639
<v Speaker 2>more money than you. I don't mind doing it. I

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>also have to buy your sister a new Apple pencil,

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 2>not because she lost it, but because hers broke. So

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm with two birds one stone. I'm gonna pick those

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>up after the TV show today, so you'll be made whole.

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 2>You'll now feel great about today's show. We're gonna do awesome.

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 2>By the way, participate in the chat to ask us

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 2>questions or to post comments. We will get to them

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the show. We also have book

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 2>club at the end of today's show. But first, here

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>is what missed the cut for today's show, step Bladder

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>saying the World Cup in Qatar was a mistake. You

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>don't say, Sep. Who could have seen that coming? Matt

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Stafford in concussion Protocol and Demon's future senator. So on

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Monday's show, I gave Demanse a hard time for being

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 2>really dedicated to the hoodie and shorts. Look. He did

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>not take that critique lightly. He said, aw, not everyone

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>always wears all these matching sweatsuits. It's a very common,

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>very popular look. It is John Fetterman, six foot nine

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 2>inch United States Senator from Pennsylvania, rocks this look at

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 2>almost all times. So you now have representation in the

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 2>US Senate. That man prevented doctor Oz from becoming a

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 2>US senator. Shout out John Fetterman, Shout out the people

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 2>of Pennsylvania. Shout out Demanse for having a little support

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 2>on the shorts and hoodie. Look now, Demanse, let's get

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 2>to the show.

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 4>The biggest story in the NFL may quietly be brewing

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 4>in Buffalo with Josh Allen dealing with an elbow injury.

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 3>Not only an elbow injury, but his elbow injury on

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 3>his throwing arm. Yeah.

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, have a big matchup facing the seven to one

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 4>Vikings this week, and without Allen, the Bills would have

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.599
<v Speaker 4>case Keenum at quarterback against his former team. Is the

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 4>whole NFL about the flip on its head? And are

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 4>we betting Dolphins plus five hundred or Jets plus two

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 4>thousand to win the AFC East.

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm not ready to bet on either one of

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 2>those two teams to win the AFC East. It is

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 2>an interesting you can there If the Dolphins are plus

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 2>five hundred and the Jets are plus two thousand, so

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 2>then it's you combine them and it'd be twenty five

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:37.480
<v Speaker 2>to two. The plus five hundred odds you could put

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.520
<v Speaker 2>you understand what I mean, like two thousand plus two

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 2>thousand plus five hundred, and then you'd make two bets.

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 2>You could get twenty five to two, which is you

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 2>could get twelve and a half to one on those

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:53.599
<v Speaker 2>two teams to win. You know what, So let me

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.600
<v Speaker 2>give you a better example on it. If you put

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 2>one hundred bucks on the Jets to win the AFC

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>East and you put four hundred bells bucks on the

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.479
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins to win the AFCs, that wouldn't.

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Actually be sick.

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, you could make it to whar You could make

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.760
<v Speaker 2>it to wear on either bet. If you want to

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.360
<v Speaker 2>win two thousand bucks fading the Bills, you could combine

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 2>the two right, and so it wouldn't actually be the

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 2>twelve and a half to one math was wrong. Obviously,

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 2>my apologies there. But you could risk a total of

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:29.719
<v Speaker 2>five hundred dollars to guarantee a return of two thousand dollars.

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 2>That's only four to one. If you really believe the

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins or the Jets are going to win the AFCs,

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 2>you cover both your bases there. I'm not ready to

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 2>go there. I am ready to say this. However, Vegas

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 2>does not think Josh Allen's playing. This game was eight

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 2>and a half nine points as we're doing this show

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 2>right now, it's three and a half points the a eing.

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:57.720
<v Speaker 2>It's just moving down. Josh did not practice on Wednesday.

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 2>The Bills, for all of their alleged seriousness about winning

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:09.279
<v Speaker 2>a championship, have not. They've scored twenty five touchdowns on

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.200
<v Speaker 2>offense this year. Twenty three of them have been by

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen. They do not have what you would call

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 2>a well balanced attack. Now you might say, Nick, no

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>team can deal with losing their quarterback. I don't know.

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>The Chiefs lost Mahomes for two and a half weeks

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.239
<v Speaker 2>the year they won the Super Bowl, and their backup

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 2>quarterback came in and beat the Vikings, played a tough game.

0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 2>I think it was against the Packers. They finished the

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 2>game against the Broncos. They went two to one in

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 2>the stretch without Mahomes. It helped them get a top

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 2>two seed, helped home field go through Kansas City. Case

0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Keenum's a viable backup quarterback. Case, Keenums won playoff, has

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 2>won a playoff game in this league, case Keenums played

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>an NFC championship game. With all that said, the reason

0:07:55.160 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 2>this is this makes the Jets loss even more devastating

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 2>because you don't have a merging of error if you're Buffalo.

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 2>And what you can't have if you're the Buffalo Bills

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 2>is for the second straight year, you go to Arrowhead

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 2>in the regular season, you beat the Chiefs, you get

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 2>a game up in the standings and get the tiebreaker,

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and then yet somehow when the playoffs roll around, you

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 2>don't have home field. The Bills I believe to have

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 2>any shot to beat the Chiefs in the postseason, need

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>that game to be in Buffalo, because for as great

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 2>as the Chiefs have been for the last five years,

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>they have not played a single road playoff game. That's

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 2>a testament. Now, great they've been, but it also does

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.679
<v Speaker 2>mean while I don't question it, it is an unknown

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.240
<v Speaker 2>of how Mahomes and the Chiefs offense would function in

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.800
<v Speaker 2>a loud, road playoff environment. You add to the fact

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 2>that while Kansas City weather in January ain't great, Buffalo

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 2>weather in January is horrifying and a bad weather football game.

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:07.720
<v Speaker 2>You would think, well would favor a team who's both

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 2>teams quarterbacks can run, but the Chiefs quarterback, the Bills

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.199
<v Speaker 2>quarterback is so big and strong, you would think that

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 2>favors him a bit right. Speaking of him running, However,

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 2>this is where this really has a long tail on

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 2>impacting the season. Let's say Josh just mits misses one

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 2>week and I understand he did not hurt this elbow

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 2>running the football. The Bills have not developed a run game.

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Their run game is Josh Allen if he's already banged

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 2>up on his throwing arm throwing elbow. Are the Bills

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 2>going to feel comfortable calling those designed quarterback runs and

0:09:55.160 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 2>those designed quarterback runs and going to the have to

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.840
<v Speaker 2>lean on a running game that does not really exist.

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 2>That to me, is problematic for them. So there are

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of red flags for the Bills. Who I again,

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 2>they're a very good team, but I cautioned everyone they're

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 2>being crowned a little too early. A Josh Allen injury

0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 2>obviously is the worst case scenario for them. It looks

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 2>like they're dealing with it right now. So all right,

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 2>we can move on to Jeff Saturday.

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 4>All right, right after our show ended Monday could take

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 4>Coach Frank Reich was fired. Later that day, Owner Jim

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 4>Ers made the wildest move in recent NFL history, and

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 4>that being he hired analysts and former center Jeff Saturday

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:43.840
<v Speaker 4>is their interim head coach, whomors this swirling Saturday. Saturday

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 4>may add dan Or Lobsky to his staff. Two questions,

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.200
<v Speaker 4>how do you not take the Raiders minus six at

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.200
<v Speaker 4>home against Indy? And if you were in Saturday's position,

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.760
<v Speaker 4>which one of your media colleagues would you hire as

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 4>your staff?

0:10:56.000 --> 0:11:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh? All right, that last question is interesting. So I

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 2>am taking gambling show tomorrow. I am taking the Raiders.

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 2>I just feel like it's a must bet that the

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Colts had the worst offense in the NFL by any

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 2>team this season. The worst offensive game anyone's played, in

0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 2>my opinion and in some statistical opinion, was the game

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:25.040
<v Speaker 2>last week against the Patriots, right that they that was

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 2>after they fired their offensive court endor. They've now fired

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>their offensive minded head coach and play caller. They're now

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 2>having some thirty year old call plays and Jeff Saturday

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 2>is the head coach. So I do love the Raiders

0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 2>this weekend. Maybe Saturday will be great, but he also

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:47.080
<v Speaker 2>as far as experience goes is none. Excuse me, and

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go further. Dion Sanders, the great Dion Sanders,

0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:57.360
<v Speaker 2>one of the greatest players ever. Two years ago, was

0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:02.080
<v Speaker 2>hired to be the head coach at Jackson State, an

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 2>FCS college with no coaching experience outside of high school.

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.959
<v Speaker 2>And they criticize that move. How do you hire him?

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 2>How do you skips all the steps? He's not gonna

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.319
<v Speaker 2>have the experience, he's not gonna know what it takes.

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 2>That was one of the greatest players ever in small

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 2>division college football. You're now taking a good player who

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 2>hasn't coached at any level and putting him as the

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.319
<v Speaker 2>head coach of an NFL team. It is one of

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>the most ridiculous and indefensible coaching hires in sports history.

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:44.520
<v Speaker 2>That is not in debate. Now that does that mean

0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 2>he definitely will fail, No, but it is. It's insulting

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 2>to obviously to minority candidates that can't get a look

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.959
<v Speaker 2>even if they've been coordinators and for fifteen years. It's

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:04.600
<v Speaker 2>insulting to guys of any race who have been trying

0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 2>to grind their way up in the coaching profession. And

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 2>it's insulting to the players on the colts. Okay, now

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 2>to the more interesting part. Who would I hire? So,

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.000
<v Speaker 2>if I were the head coach of an NFL team,

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 2>I would hire Bill Barnwell to run my analytics department,

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:28.719
<v Speaker 2>without any question at all, run my analytics and he

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 2>would be on the front office side of things. And

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I guess I actually I don't know. If he would

0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 2>run my analytics department, Barnwell would run, he would be nobody.

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>You couldn't make any trades or sign any contracts without

0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.679
<v Speaker 2>running them by Barnwell. And the value that you have

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:49.320
<v Speaker 2>to give up, I think he's brilliant at that. My

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.840
<v Speaker 2>analytics department I obviously would run, but I would bring

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 2>in I would consider trying to bring in Ben Baldwin,

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 2>who is on Twitter at on at computer Cowboy. He

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:07.200
<v Speaker 2>is some good I like his fourth down bot he built.

0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I like that he would do my guy up in

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 2>the booth. It's a bot. He built a computer program

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 2>that automatically says kick punt, go for it, and does

0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:23.360
<v Speaker 2>it for every game, and I trust his methodology. I

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 2>would hire Manginie to run my defense. I think man

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Genie is gotten a short shrift on what he did

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL, and I think he's actually pretty I

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 2>am he's still really locked in and tied in any

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 2>other media colleagues. I wouldn't hire Orlovsky, not because I

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>don't respect him, but I don't think Orlovsky likes me.

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Orlofsky's on the list of guys that I think doesn't

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 2>respect me. I don't have any evidence of that. It's

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>just my gut respec. Yeah. Well, it's hard to you

0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:04.000
<v Speaker 2>can like someone and not respect them. No, you can

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 2>respect someone and not like them. It's very hard to

0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 2>like someone if you don't respect them, right, you know

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? Uh, And I don't know why I

0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 2>just uh Now. I also, who did I think that about? Oh?

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.320
<v Speaker 2>I did a podcast with Ethan Strauss and I told

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>him I didn't think he liked or respected me. He

0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 2>told me I was wrong. So maybe it's my own

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 2>self consciousness.

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think. Is there anyone else I'd be like, Oh,

0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I gotta get him.

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:36.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it'd be Mangini for the defense, Barnwell for

0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.400
<v Speaker 2>the front office, and Ben Baldwin for the analytics department,

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 2>and I'll oversee everything else the I can I tell

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 2>you something. I couldn't design offenses, but I could call

0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 2>plays like I couldn't. Someone else would have to design

0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 2>the plays. But you don't play Madden for twenty five

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.560
<v Speaker 2>years and not know how to call some plays? All right?

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.320
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Paul, question fifty to fifty? Would Demonse

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 2>be a better head coach than Jeff Saturday? Take that?

0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Neck?

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 4>Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll gave a big shout out

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.840
<v Speaker 4>to his quarterback for wearing a wristband. Yeah, he said,

0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.400
<v Speaker 4>the communication between him and Gino is much better and

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 4>more efficient than it was before shade thrown at Russ. Well,

0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.800
<v Speaker 4>Russ didn't like that and came back and said that

0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:23.800
<v Speaker 4>he won a lot of games in Seattle without wearing

0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.920
<v Speaker 4>a ristband. Or Seahawks the first team in NFL history

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 4>to be winning out of spite.

0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so a couple of things. One is, we recognize

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Demonte's mike has a bit of an echo. We'll make

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 2>sure we fix that during the break. But bear with

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 2>us here. Here's what I find so intriguing about the Seahawks.

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 2>And first of Geno's one of the best stories in

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 2>the league. It's great. And yeah, sorry, I mean, I

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 2>feel badly. I just yeah, you're not even supposed to live.

0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 2>We know your MIC's an issue, so he's got to

0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.760
<v Speaker 2>be quiet for a minute. Not your fault. Gino's an

0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 2>unbelievable story. What I find so fascinating is this team seemingly,

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 2>to a man, really really disliked Russ. Pete Carroll had

0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:19.359
<v Speaker 2>no reason to take this shot at Russ. It was

0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 2>no one was asking about Russ, no one was asking

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:26.719
<v Speaker 2>about the past. They were just praising Gino, and he

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:31.040
<v Speaker 2>couldn't help himself but to throw it in. So here's

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:35.240
<v Speaker 2>my theory, So we know why the defensive players didn't

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:40.880
<v Speaker 2>like Russ. Set the corniness aside. They felt he got

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:46.399
<v Speaker 2>too much credit for their greatness. That the team was

0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 2>built on the legion to boom and a great defense,

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.919
<v Speaker 2>and Russ got the glory, and they felt that that

0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:57.359
<v Speaker 2>all manifested itself ultimately at the worst moment possible, when

0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.679
<v Speaker 2>instead of running the ball and having marsh Sean Lynch

0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:04.200
<v Speaker 2>who was not defensive player but was more in that

0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.600
<v Speaker 2>click if you will, with Sherman and Thomas and those guys,

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.360
<v Speaker 2>they called a pass play for Russ so he could

0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 2>be Super Bowl MVP, and they end up losing the

0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl. Russ throws a pick, so we know where

0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 2>that came from, and we know where it all. You know,

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 2>he came to a head right where I think Pete Carroll,

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:30.399
<v Speaker 2>who clearly has a sour taste in his mouth about Russ,

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:32.480
<v Speaker 2>despite the fact that Pete Carroll was a losing coach

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL and then got Russ, went to Russ,

0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 2>they won a Super Bowl, they had massive success. Where

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I think Pete's bitterness comes from is I think Pete

0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:47.880
<v Speaker 2>feels like I chose you over the defensive guys. We

0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:52.119
<v Speaker 2>paid you. We traded those guys away. You wanted me

0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:55.160
<v Speaker 2>to hire Shane Waldron. I hired Shane Waldron. We put

0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the team in your hands. We did all of those

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.119
<v Speaker 2>things I cost myself, these other relations and chips, and

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:05.440
<v Speaker 2>then you demand it out. I did all of these

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:10.880
<v Speaker 2>things in service to you, and then you demanded out.

0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 2>And I get that. I get that. Not it's not

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:19.600
<v Speaker 2>a marriage, but to use a messy metaphor, if no

0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:23.679
<v Speaker 2>matter how much great history you have with somebody, if

0:19:24.240 --> 0:19:26.440
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden they're like, I don't like your friends,

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:28.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't like who you're hanging out with, I don't

0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.600
<v Speaker 2>like what your you know, your hobbies, and you cut

0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 2>all those things off in service of your significant other,

0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:39.360
<v Speaker 2>and then your significant other is still like I'm out anyway,

0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.560
<v Speaker 2>you'd be extra upset. It's like I made all these

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:47.199
<v Speaker 2>sacrifices for you, for us, and then you bounced. So

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I think that's where it comes from with Pete Carroll

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:51.960
<v Speaker 2>and I understand it all right, quickly asked the net question.

0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.280
<v Speaker 4>All right, the nets are locked in on interim head

0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:57.879
<v Speaker 4>coach Jack eat Jack Jack Vaughan to be there to

0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 4>be their coach through twenty four.

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:03.159
<v Speaker 2>By the way, he didn't say jockey. He said Jacques,

0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.320
<v Speaker 2>that was the echo. That was that was the echo.

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:05.680
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead.

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:07.639
<v Speaker 4>John Mark said that he is the the was the

0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.280
<v Speaker 4>clear cut choice, despite the email a dooka rumors. Reports

0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 4>say strong voices in the league push Joe's sides to

0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:17.120
<v Speaker 4>pass on Adoka. Now Vaughn is stepping stepping right into

0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:21.360
<v Speaker 4>an unprecedented Kyrie situation. The Nets crusted the Knicks last night.

0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:23.399
<v Speaker 4>Do you think they finally took a step in the

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:23.919
<v Speaker 4>right direction.

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so the Nets just don't know what they're doing.

0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 2>The the the idea that you would be steeped in

0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:39.480
<v Speaker 2>all this controversy and then leak to everyone in the

0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:43.400
<v Speaker 2>world you're hiring Udoka without being certain you're hiring him

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:50.639
<v Speaker 2>is baffling. It is a wild decision just a while.

0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 2>So that's that's Sean Marks and management not knowing what

0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:57.840
<v Speaker 2>they're doing. Now. Jacques Vaughan. Jacqu Vaughan was the coach

0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:01.840
<v Speaker 2>of the Magic for three years, the fourth worst winning

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.080
<v Speaker 2>percentage in NBA history. Okay, it's Sidney Low, Tim Floyd,

0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Kurt Rambas, Jacques bawling for guys who got at least

0:21:07.320 --> 0:21:11.440
<v Speaker 2>two hundred games. However, with the Nets, he's been good now.

0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:14.480
<v Speaker 2>He's been there for six years. He was the interim

0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 2>after Katie and Gyrie pushed out. Kenny Atkinson did well

0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 2>with them in the bubble. They get to the playoffs,

0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:25.119
<v Speaker 2>but they decided not to hire they go with the

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Katie and Kyrie want Nash, so they go with Nash instead.

0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Right now he's there, they do look better and they're

0:21:32.080 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 2>going with him. The concerns are he knows and everyone

0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:38.639
<v Speaker 2>knows he wasn't the first choice. That's not you know

0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:40.639
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. He said it. He said it in his

0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:42.359
<v Speaker 2>press conference. He's like, listen, I don't know what was

0:21:42.440 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 2>my wife's first choice. Been together twenty years. I mean,

0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:50.720
<v Speaker 2>he said it. What's most notable to me is it's

0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:55.200
<v Speaker 2>hard to separate the Nets seemingly turning in a corner.

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:57.159
<v Speaker 2>They played the best game last night they played in

0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:00.640
<v Speaker 2>two years. I understand they're playing the Knicks, but that's

0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:03.679
<v Speaker 2>how the Nets were allowing one hundred and sixteen points

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:10.080
<v Speaker 2>per game under Vaughan. They're allowing ninety. Okay, they but

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:14.359
<v Speaker 2>it is hard to separate. Is this a Jacques Bond

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 2>thing or is this a Kyrie not there without Kyrie

0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:26.040
<v Speaker 2>either three and one. Steven's been excellent. KD played his

0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:28.840
<v Speaker 2>best game of the season last night, had an easy

0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:35.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty nine point triple double. And I do not believe

0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 2>Kyrie contributes to winning basketball. I do not believe he

0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:42.840
<v Speaker 2>makes them better. And I do not believe that when

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 2>he finally, you know, if he gets unsuspended, they are

0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:51.120
<v Speaker 2>better with him than without him. Also, at the game

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:57.119
<v Speaker 2>last night, and you've got there is the foot Let

0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:03.880
<v Speaker 2>me put it like this giant group of guys all

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:09.240
<v Speaker 2>over the entrances to the stadium with megaphones, passing out

0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:15.600
<v Speaker 2>literature who seemed to like that movie that Kyrie promoted

0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:17.639
<v Speaker 2>even more than a hell of a lot more than

0:23:17.720 --> 0:23:21.400
<v Speaker 2>Kyrie did that I posted it on Twitter.

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:23.159
<v Speaker 3>But the.

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Headline of the flyer that they were handing out in

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:33.880
<v Speaker 2>front of Barclay's Center is the truth about anti Semitism

0:23:34.600 --> 0:23:38.159
<v Speaker 2>and then long passages. So and if you want to

0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:41.439
<v Speaker 2>read it, you can check on my Twitter. So that

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:46.480
<v Speaker 2>when Kyrie says, you know, I'm not you know, you

0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:50.679
<v Speaker 2>guys act like I have some big platform. Kyrie's tweet

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:54.960
<v Speaker 2>and the ensuing controversy has now brought that to the nets. Doorstep.

0:23:56.520 --> 0:23:58.680
<v Speaker 2>You then add to the fact I don't think he

0:23:58.680 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 2>helps them on the court, and I think Jacques Vaughan

0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:05.119
<v Speaker 2>is about to deal with at and Sean marks a

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:09.359
<v Speaker 2>very difficult situation because all of a sudden, the Nets

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:12.160
<v Speaker 2>look like a real basketball team and they can play

0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:16.280
<v Speaker 2>real defense, and that's without Ben Simmons doing anything, and

0:24:16.359 --> 0:24:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Durant looks happy, and it is a very tricky situation

0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:25.480
<v Speaker 2>for Jacques Vaughn, who's now finally getting his second chance

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:28.680
<v Speaker 2>as an NBA head coach. So there's that. With all

0:24:28.680 --> 0:24:30.919
<v Speaker 2>that said, the Nets are in far better shape than

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:35.800
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers, who are an unmitigated disaster. We discuss them

0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:38.439

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:16.760
<v Speaker 2>with Nick? Right, we will get to a game in

0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:19.239
<v Speaker 2>a moment, but first, de Mon's we need to talk

0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:20.160
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about the Lake.

0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Talk about your Lakers, man.

0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 4>They are now two and nine, lost to the Clippers

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:27.679
<v Speaker 4>by thirteen without the quiet one.

0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 3>What's going on?

0:25:29.240 --> 0:25:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and Lebron got hurt. So Lebron, we don't know

0:25:32.960 --> 0:25:34.679
<v Speaker 2>if it's a groin or what it is. If he

0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:36.360
<v Speaker 2>just doesn't want to play with these guys. No, no, no,

0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:40.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean he clearly injured himself last night. I mean

0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:44.240
<v Speaker 2>they took him out of the game, and so yes, listen,

0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Lebron for the first sixteen years of his career was

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:55.080
<v Speaker 2>the most indestructible athlete in the history of basket I

0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:59.480
<v Speaker 2>mean I watched him suffer a high ankle sprain, titan

0:25:59.520 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 2>issue is up and just go finish. He never missed

0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:07.720
<v Speaker 2>time with injuries despite playing super high minutes a super

0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 2>physical style. Then, in year seventeen against the Warriors on Christmas,

0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:16.760
<v Speaker 2>his first year with the Lakers, he tore his growing

0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:23.120
<v Speaker 2>you're wait, was that hold on? Is this his fifth year?

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Hold on? This year twenty? Oh, so I guess it was.

0:26:26.920 --> 0:26:30.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, you're sixteen. He tore is growing. You're seventeen.

0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 2>They won the title. He was healthy, you're eighteen. Solomon

0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Hill somersaulted into his ankle. He was injured all year.

0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Last year, he was mostly healthy until the end of

0:26:40.960 --> 0:26:42.960
<v Speaker 2>the year. There's year nineteen, Now it's your twenty. He

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 2>was dealing with a foot injury, now dealing with the

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:46.920
<v Speaker 2>leg injury. This is what happens. He's played the most

0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:48.720
<v Speaker 2>minutes of any player in the history of the sport

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:51.840
<v Speaker 2>playoffs and regular season combined, where he's second to Kareem

0:26:51.880 --> 0:26:54.600
<v Speaker 2>On that he's in year twenty. He's the third oldest

0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:56.680
<v Speaker 2>guy in the whole league, and he's playing these types

0:26:56.720 --> 0:26:59.040
<v Speaker 2>of minutes. The only guy's older than him are Iguidala

0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:02.200
<v Speaker 2>and Haslam who Haslim doesn't play at all, and I right,

0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:06.919
<v Speaker 2>and Ida barely plays. So it's sad, but this is inevitable.

0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:10.199
<v Speaker 2>That is not the biggest problem with the Lakers. So

0:27:10.359 --> 0:27:12.800
<v Speaker 2>a couple. So they're playing the Clippers last night, right,

0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:21.400
<v Speaker 2>the Clippers did not have Kawhi Leonard Yet the Clippers, somehow,

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:27.200
<v Speaker 2>despite not having Kawhi Leonard all year long, are a

0:27:27.240 --> 0:27:31.760
<v Speaker 2>competent organization. They didn't have Kawhi Leonard all last year,

0:27:32.200 --> 0:27:37.280
<v Speaker 2>won forty two games. There's still a legitimate NBA team

0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:42.200
<v Speaker 2>without Kawhi Leonard. You know why this is because Lawrence

0:27:42.280 --> 0:27:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Frank has built out a real NBA roster. You have

0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:49.919
<v Speaker 2>the Stars. They did what the Lakers did, traded all

0:27:49.920 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 2>their assets for Paul George, like the Lakers did with Lebron. Now,

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:56.720
<v Speaker 2>they didn't win a title, and I'm not the the

0:27:56.800 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Lakers won that title. Lebron was unbelievable. Anthony Davis was

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:03.840
<v Speaker 2>great in the ball. That's fine. But what Rob Blink

0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:08.560
<v Speaker 2>is done with this Lakers roster post winning the title,

0:28:09.960 --> 0:28:13.919
<v Speaker 2>It honestly would have been better to spin a Goddog wheel.

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:21.880
<v Speaker 2>It was if you were intentionally trying to build the

0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:26.240
<v Speaker 2>worst basketball teams possible. But you have to have Lebron, James,

0:28:26.240 --> 0:28:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis on the team. You could not do worse

0:28:28.920 --> 0:28:30.240
<v Speaker 2>than Blink has done the last.

0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:35.760
<v Speaker 3>Two years, mixing up what well, mixing up all those ingredients.

0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Like absolutely right. So let me give you another team,

0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:43.880
<v Speaker 2>not just the Clippers, something else interesting happened yesterday the

0:28:43.920 --> 0:28:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Milwaukee Bucks played. The Milwaukee Bucks did not have Chris Middleton.

0:28:48.040 --> 0:28:50.360
<v Speaker 2>They haven't had them all year. In this game, they

0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:53.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't have Drew Holliday and Jannis took the night off.

0:28:55.120 --> 0:29:00.720
<v Speaker 2>No Joannis, no Holiday, no Middleton. They won. They beat

0:29:00.760 --> 0:29:03.080
<v Speaker 2>the Thunder Ironers, and Thunder, a bad team, beat him

0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 2>in overtime. You know why, because they have a legitimate

0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:13.280
<v Speaker 2>NBA roster. They have built a real team, and it

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 2>is unfathomable to me.

0:29:15.760 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 4>So I've had a couple of like people that come

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:20.160
<v Speaker 4>in the messages telling me, a couple of fans of

0:29:20.200 --> 0:29:22.920
<v Speaker 4>the show saying that raj Ahon Rondo has always been

0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:24.600
<v Speaker 4>like the clear fix for the Lakers.

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.520
<v Speaker 2>You buy into that, No, he's too old at this point,

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:30.920
<v Speaker 2>but I do buy into that Anthony Davis's offense has

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:34.600
<v Speaker 2>fallen off a cliff and they don't have a point guard.

0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:36.600
<v Speaker 4>He also is saying that he's mad that he's playing

0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:38.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he didn't say he's mad, but he said

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 4>that he's uncomfortable playing the five.

0:29:39.960 --> 0:29:45.480
<v Speaker 2>He is, but fuck up, buddy. But regardless that those

0:29:45.520 --> 0:29:48.360
<v Speaker 2>should be the issues in the margins, the Lakers have

0:29:48.440 --> 0:29:52.600
<v Speaker 2>done such a horrific job that trading Anthony Davis is

0:29:52.640 --> 0:29:57.400
<v Speaker 2>now on the board. Yeah. And I said before the

0:29:57.600 --> 0:30:03.000
<v Speaker 2>year that their whole playan of oh, we're going to

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:05.080
<v Speaker 2>keep Russ and make it work when they're playing, was

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:07.560
<v Speaker 2>never to make it work with Russ. The plan was

0:30:08.160 --> 0:30:11.560
<v Speaker 2>wait and see if a trade better than Turner and

0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Healed comes around for us and those picks. And I

0:30:14.560 --> 0:30:18.520
<v Speaker 2>said on this show and on the TV show, better

0:30:18.600 --> 0:30:22.600
<v Speaker 2>be careful because with that opening schedule, you could be

0:30:22.680 --> 0:30:26.960
<v Speaker 2>two and eight after ten games and the season's basically over.

0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Now it's eleven games, they're two and nine. In NBA history,

0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 2>teams to start two and nine only I saw this yesterday.

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I wish I marked it. Less than ten percent have

0:30:41.520 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 2>finished above five hundred above five hundred, only four have

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:50.840
<v Speaker 2>made the playoffs, and only one has won a playoff series.

0:30:52.600 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 2>NBA history teams starting two and nine, so they're totally ruined.

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:04.400
<v Speaker 2>They might end up trading Anthony Davis. And now I'm

0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:06.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna give you the one bright side.

0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:06.760
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I do think now the Nets right now are playing well.

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:18.640
<v Speaker 2>When Kyrie comes back. I don't know how sustainable all

0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:24.680
<v Speaker 2>that is, Okay, I do think there is at least

0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:33.400
<v Speaker 2>a conversation if the Lakers call the Nets and say, listen,

0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Katie's unhappy. He wanted out. The Ben Simmons contract is

0:31:41.360 --> 0:31:44.960
<v Speaker 2>a disaster with three and a half years left on it.

0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:52.720
<v Speaker 2>You also don't have picks. We will give you Anthony

0:31:52.800 --> 0:32:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Davis and Russell Westbrook's expiring contract plus our two picks

0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:06.960
<v Speaker 2>in twenty seven and twenty nine four Tyrie nod for

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:13.360
<v Speaker 2>KD and Ben, and then Kyrie walks in the offseason.

0:32:14.560 --> 0:32:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Russ's contract expires. You have Anthony Davis, You have built

0:32:19.640 --> 0:32:21.880
<v Speaker 2>back up some of your draft capital, and all of

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:25.120
<v Speaker 2>a sudden you're in New York City with Anthony Davis

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:28.360
<v Speaker 2>and max salary cap space. And that's how you're going

0:32:28.440 --> 0:32:32.600
<v Speaker 2>to rebuild eighties twenty nine. It's five years younger than KD.

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:37.800
<v Speaker 2>You're not winning anything this year. I would I don't

0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:41.160
<v Speaker 2>think they would do AD and two picks for Kevin Durant.

0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the Nets would do that, Okay, I

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:49.720
<v Speaker 2>think if you However, if you gave them a way

0:32:49.760 --> 0:32:53.200
<v Speaker 2>to get out of Ben Simmons deal, which is like, oh,

0:32:53.280 --> 0:32:55.920
<v Speaker 2>why would they want Russ? Well, Russ actually coming off

0:32:55.960 --> 0:32:57.920
<v Speaker 2>the bench, playing a little bit better, But that doesn't matter.

0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:01.320
<v Speaker 2>What you would want is the fact that contract expires.

0:33:01.760 --> 0:33:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Kyrie's contract is expiring after this year. You would just

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:08.720
<v Speaker 2>have Anthony Davis and Joe Harris is on a bad deal.

0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:11.000
<v Speaker 2>But that's the only bad contract you'd have. And you

0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:14.480
<v Speaker 2>have max cap space CAP's gonna go up soon you're

0:33:14.560 --> 0:33:17.920
<v Speaker 2>in New York City, you're more like that. That's their

0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:22.720
<v Speaker 2>path forward. That's the Lakers only save, and it wouldn't

0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:24.840
<v Speaker 2>even save this year. By the time that happens, this

0:33:24.920 --> 0:33:28.320
<v Speaker 2>year is already going to be done. So that's the

0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:30.880
<v Speaker 2>one silver lining. But I don't trust Rob Blinka to

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:35.000
<v Speaker 2>do that. Rob blink is and and Lakers ownership for

0:33:35.080 --> 0:33:39.160
<v Speaker 2>continuing to empower Polinka because he was Kobe's agent and

0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:41.440
<v Speaker 2>they have such loyalty there is insane to me.

0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 4>All Right, let's play a game. All right, it's time

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:45.840
<v Speaker 4>for a game. It's all in or fold.

0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:46.320
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

0:33:46.720 --> 0:33:50.360
<v Speaker 4>First one we got here is Obj listed Dallas as

0:33:50.400 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 4>a potential landing spot in Jerry Jones, Mike McCarthy, and

0:33:53.920 --> 0:33:57.160
<v Speaker 4>Ezekiel Elliott all said they want him all interfold.

0:33:57.400 --> 0:33:59.959
<v Speaker 3>Obj is missing is the missing piece for Dallas.

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'd really rather I'd really rather not do either

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 2>one of these because I kind of believe in it.

0:34:09.520 --> 0:34:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to fold, but I certainly don't want

0:34:12.000 --> 0:34:13.600
<v Speaker 2>to go all in saying it's the missing piece.

0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:14.000
<v Speaker 3>But I will.

0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:15.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll say so. I'm going to describe a team to you.

0:34:17.480 --> 0:34:20.320
<v Speaker 2>A defensive Player of the Year, Hall of Fame caliber

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:28.239
<v Speaker 2>front seven defensive player, an All Pro caliber corner, a

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:35.000
<v Speaker 2>good wide receiving corps already, a quarterback who has put

0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:37.080
<v Speaker 2>up great numbers in the regular season but has no

0:34:37.160 --> 0:34:42.240
<v Speaker 2>postseason success. I just described to you this year's Dallas

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Cowboys and last year's Los Angeles Rams. What did the

0:34:48.040 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Rams do around this time last year? Added Odell Beckham junior.

0:34:51.920 --> 0:34:55.880
<v Speaker 2>He was the missing piece in a wide open NFC.

0:34:56.680 --> 0:34:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Did the Cowboys have a lot of similarities there? Would

0:34:59.520 --> 0:35:02.680
<v Speaker 2>it make a lot of sense? Would he work? If

0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:07.080
<v Speaker 2>he's My concern with Odell is he's had too many injuries,

0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:09.799
<v Speaker 2>and when he comes back, he's not gonna be the

0:35:09.800 --> 0:35:11.600
<v Speaker 2>guy who was last year for the Rams, who was

0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:15.360
<v Speaker 2>sensational in the playoffs. If he is that guy, the

0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:17.400
<v Speaker 2>guy who was in the playoffs last year, then I

0:35:17.440 --> 0:35:19.919
<v Speaker 2>think this is a no brainer for Dallas and green

0:35:19.960 --> 0:35:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Bay's off the board now because they stink. The Rams

0:35:23.360 --> 0:35:25.320
<v Speaker 2>to me, are off the board now because they stink.

0:35:26.000 --> 0:35:29.440
<v Speaker 2>The Niners don't need him. They have too many other weapons.

0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:33.239
<v Speaker 2>The Bucks aren't very good, and they wide receivers. The

0:35:33.239 --> 0:35:36.080
<v Speaker 2>one spot. They got plenty of guys at don't I

0:35:36.120 --> 0:35:39.279
<v Speaker 2>never thought Buffalo was a realistic spot for Odell, and

0:35:39.320 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 2>they have plenty of receivers. The Chiefs just added their receiver,

0:35:43.160 --> 0:35:46.239
<v Speaker 2>you know what. So to me, it's if Odell's gonna

0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:49.719
<v Speaker 2>play this year, it is either with Dallas or with

0:35:49.840 --> 0:35:53.840
<v Speaker 2>the Giants. In a reunions. Seahawks have lock in a

0:35:53.920 --> 0:35:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Metcalf and the Seahawks aren't really like a blue chip

0:35:57.640 --> 0:36:00.719
<v Speaker 2>franchise like Mark Kee, like New Go back to New

0:36:00.800 --> 0:36:03.400
<v Speaker 2>York or go to Dallas. That's what I see Odell

0:36:03.440 --> 0:36:04.080
<v Speaker 2>doing next this.

0:36:04.280 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Green Bay beat Dallas this week. Awesome.

0:36:06.880 --> 0:36:09.680
<v Speaker 2>No no, no, no, no, green Bay does not be Dallas.

0:36:09.719 --> 0:36:11.879
<v Speaker 2>I think Dallas crushes That's what I think.

0:36:12.000 --> 0:36:12.160
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:36:12.800 --> 0:36:15.920
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, the poll of the people in

0:36:15.960 --> 0:36:20.120
<v Speaker 2>the poll say yes, sixty percent say Odell should sign

0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:20.520
<v Speaker 2>with Dallas.

0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:23.200
<v Speaker 4>All right, next, all right, Milwaukee finally fell for the

0:36:23.239 --> 0:36:25.719
<v Speaker 4>first time this season, but got back on track in

0:36:25.760 --> 0:36:28.520
<v Speaker 4>double OT and their double OT win versus the Thunder

0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:31.719
<v Speaker 4>without the honest they're looking like the best team in basketball,

0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:34.520
<v Speaker 4>and they're still Missy and Chris Middleton all interfall of

0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:37.800
<v Speaker 4>the Bucks will win sixty five games.

0:36:37.840 --> 0:36:43.399
<v Speaker 2>Sixty five is tough and the team. If you win

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:48.840
<v Speaker 2>sixty five or more, historically you are an overwhelming title favorite.

0:36:49.440 --> 0:36:52.200
<v Speaker 2>That now, the Rockets won sixty five few years agame

0:36:52.400 --> 0:36:54.399
<v Speaker 2>ago lost to the Wars in the conference finals. It's

0:36:54.440 --> 0:36:57.680
<v Speaker 2>not a sure thing, but sixty Once you get sixty

0:36:57.719 --> 0:37:01.400
<v Speaker 2>five plus, you are in the history, you know, best

0:37:01.440 --> 0:37:05.880
<v Speaker 2>regular season teams ever category, right, right? Yeah, I think

0:37:05.880 --> 0:37:07.080
<v Speaker 2>they're winning sixty five games.

0:37:07.480 --> 0:37:08.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean they're definitely.

0:37:08.800 --> 0:37:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they're clearly the best team. Yeah, and Yannis

0:37:13.200 --> 0:37:15.839
<v Speaker 2>has been great, But it's not even like Giannis has

0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:19.400
<v Speaker 2>been unbelievable, you know what I mean. The Yannis is

0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:23.880
<v Speaker 2>so clearly the best player in the league. It's because

0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:25.759
<v Speaker 2>of what he does on both ends. It's not even

0:37:25.800 --> 0:37:30.320
<v Speaker 2>a discussion. No one can argue otherwise. I mean, the Bucks,

0:37:30.719 --> 0:37:32.160
<v Speaker 2>they've built a real team.

0:37:32.320 --> 0:37:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:37:32.520 --> 0:37:35.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't love the fact that Grayson Allen gets minutes

0:37:35.280 --> 0:37:38.120
<v Speaker 2>for them, but that is really picking knits. That is

0:37:38.160 --> 0:37:41.800
<v Speaker 2>an excellent team that should be the two time defending champs.

0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:44.840
<v Speaker 2>We should be talking about a Bucks dynasty. If Middleton

0:37:44.880 --> 0:37:48.759
<v Speaker 2>didn't get hurt, they would have worked the Warriors. And

0:37:49.320 --> 0:37:51.759
<v Speaker 2>by the way, the Warriors had.

0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:53.400
<v Speaker 3>To work somebody else to get to the Warriors.

0:37:54.719 --> 0:37:58.120
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean? Who what he's all about?

0:37:58.640 --> 0:38:00.000
<v Speaker 3>You said they would have worked the Warriors.

0:38:00.200 --> 0:38:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, in the finals, here's all about the Celtics. But

0:38:04.160 --> 0:38:07.320
<v Speaker 2>they played the Celtics and they lost in seven games

0:38:07.360 --> 0:38:12.640
<v Speaker 2>without Middleton. Okay, but they would have the Okay, Listen,

0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:15.080
<v Speaker 2>I understand that. I believe they would have won that

0:38:15.120 --> 0:38:17.680
<v Speaker 2>series with Middleton. I think you believe they would have

0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:20.560
<v Speaker 2>won that series with Middleton. By the way, it's not

0:38:20.600 --> 0:38:22.960
<v Speaker 2>in today's show. I just want to get on the

0:38:23.000 --> 0:38:25.000
<v Speaker 2>record again because I did it on TV. I want

0:38:25.000 --> 0:38:28.880
<v Speaker 2>to do it here. Folks are underrating that the Warriors

0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:32.960
<v Speaker 2>might be in real, real trouble. Yeah, they're four and seven.

0:38:33.480 --> 0:38:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Their last win step was against the Kings by three.

0:38:37.840 --> 0:38:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Steph had to go forty seven to eight and eight

0:38:39.760 --> 0:38:43.440
<v Speaker 2>and they had to get very lucky calls down the stretch. Shockingly,

0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:47.360
<v Speaker 2>they so what is disappointing for the Warriors and they

0:38:47.400 --> 0:38:49.759
<v Speaker 2>didn't see coming was that none of the young guys

0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:52.880
<v Speaker 2>seemingly have improved and Wiseman's going in the other direction.

0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:55.360
<v Speaker 2>What should not surprise them at all is the vibes

0:38:55.400 --> 0:38:59.239
<v Speaker 2>might be off after Draymond's slug Jordan Poole, All right, next.

0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:02.359
<v Speaker 4>All right, you're the Luka Doncon started his season only

0:39:02.440 --> 0:39:05.480
<v Speaker 4>trailing Wilt Chamberlain for most thirty point games to start

0:39:05.560 --> 0:39:08.360
<v Speaker 4>start a season. Yeah, the streak ended last night, but

0:39:08.400 --> 0:39:11.640
<v Speaker 4>he leads his team in points, assists, rebounds, and steals

0:39:11.920 --> 0:39:14.000
<v Speaker 4>all interfold, Luca is greater than Will.

0:39:14.120 --> 0:39:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, no, we got to fold on Lucas not

0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:19.719
<v Speaker 2>greater than Will. But do you think Luca is the

0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:22.920
<v Speaker 2>second best player in the league? So let me give

0:39:22.920 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 2>you the Let me just give you the possible names

0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:28.759
<v Speaker 2>guys who are in the discussion. Okay, and I'll give you.

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:32.239
<v Speaker 2>I'll give it. Do you think he's better than Yeah?

0:39:32.360 --> 0:39:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Did Tatum?

0:39:33.000 --> 0:39:34.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go in reverse or Okay, do you think

0:39:34.880 --> 0:39:35.720
<v Speaker 2>he's better than Tatum?

0:39:36.960 --> 0:39:37.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Possibly?

0:39:37.719 --> 0:39:40.160
<v Speaker 4>I think that one's kind of neck and necking and

0:39:40.280 --> 0:39:41.720
<v Speaker 4>maybe Luca gets the advantage.

0:39:41.760 --> 0:39:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so I know that hurts you, but yes, do

0:39:43.840 --> 0:39:45.239
<v Speaker 2>you think he's better than Tatum. Do you think is

0:39:45.280 --> 0:39:49.120
<v Speaker 2>better than Jokic? Yeah, let me too. Do you think

0:39:49.120 --> 0:39:53.919
<v Speaker 2>he's better than Steph?

0:39:53.960 --> 0:39:54.359
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Their defenses are both right, call him, call him a

0:39:58.000 --> 0:40:00.120
<v Speaker 2>wash on defense. Who's the better offensive player, Louke.

0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:03.680
<v Speaker 3>Or step Luca? I mean he controls the ball. Yeah,

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:04.280
<v Speaker 3>so okay.

0:40:04.400 --> 0:40:06.719
<v Speaker 2>Do you think is better than Jah?

0:40:07.200 --> 0:40:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's gotta be.

0:40:08.280 --> 0:40:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you think it's better than Durant?

0:40:14.480 --> 0:40:14.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:40:15.200 --> 0:40:17.400
<v Speaker 4>Whenever I think of Luca, I'm comparing these guys, like

0:40:17.480 --> 0:40:19.960
<v Speaker 4>he's able to go down there and control the ball

0:40:20.640 --> 0:40:23.120
<v Speaker 4>this ship, yeah, yeah, I mean all around.

0:40:23.239 --> 0:40:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, It's just be honest, he's the second best player

0:40:26.280 --> 0:40:30.719
<v Speaker 2>in the league. He's I mean, you and I two

0:40:30.719 --> 0:40:33.360
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago saw him in person yea and.

0:40:34.640 --> 0:40:35.320
<v Speaker 3>Total control.

0:40:35.960 --> 0:40:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Total it is lebron esque, just total control over everything

0:40:41.360 --> 0:40:44.799
<v Speaker 2>on the court on the offensive end. And I know

0:40:44.880 --> 0:40:47.600
<v Speaker 2>everyone kills him for the usage, like, oh, you can't

0:40:47.600 --> 0:40:49.560
<v Speaker 2>win a title with one guy dominating the ball, like

0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:50.320
<v Speaker 2>there's all this stuff.

0:40:50.840 --> 0:40:54.560
<v Speaker 3>He's never play like that to where it runs him down.

0:40:54.480 --> 0:41:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, and that's not a criticism in my opinion, until

0:41:00.239 --> 0:41:02.600
<v Speaker 2>we see him do that at the expense of a

0:41:02.640 --> 0:41:05.879
<v Speaker 2>good player. He's never at an All Star teammate. He's

0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:08.919
<v Speaker 2>never had a guy. The only teammate he's ever had

0:41:08.960 --> 0:41:11.520
<v Speaker 2>to make an All Star team was his rookie year,

0:41:11.760 --> 0:41:15.719
<v Speaker 2>which was Dirk's final year. Dirk got an honorary All

0:41:15.760 --> 0:41:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Star spot because his twentieth year in the league, but

0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:20.279
<v Speaker 2>he was not an All Star player. Now we're to

0:41:20.360 --> 0:41:26.200
<v Speaker 2>on Lakers earlier. What is interesting is this, they're as

0:41:26.280 --> 0:41:30.040
<v Speaker 2>great as Luca is. He is not a perfect fit

0:41:30.120 --> 0:41:34.799
<v Speaker 2>with everybody. Okay, so like he's not available, But let's

0:41:34.800 --> 0:41:38.440
<v Speaker 2>say the MAVs could get Dame. That's not really a

0:41:38.480 --> 0:41:43.520
<v Speaker 2>perfect fit. Right there, there are the Now do I

0:41:43.560 --> 0:41:46.520
<v Speaker 2>think Tatum would be a great fit. Of course, because

0:41:46.560 --> 0:41:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Tatum is a two way player, doesn't have to have

0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:50.960
<v Speaker 2>the ball in his hands the whole time. TAM's not available,

0:41:51.040 --> 0:41:54.960
<v Speaker 2>right You've got to find the right type of star

0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:56.040
<v Speaker 2>to pair with him.

0:41:56.080 --> 0:41:58.000
<v Speaker 3>Anthony Davis to the MAVs.

0:41:58.080 --> 0:42:01.239
<v Speaker 2>That is exactly right now. The MAVs don't have the

0:42:01.640 --> 0:42:03.799
<v Speaker 2>it'd have to be a weird three team trade. But

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:08.600
<v Speaker 2>that is the perfect player in the league for Luca.

0:42:09.239 --> 0:42:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Because Ad doesn't really want the ball a ton, He

0:42:12.280 --> 0:42:15.919
<v Speaker 2>is a defensive force. He can still stretch the floor

0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:20.160
<v Speaker 2>a bit. It's perfect. That is the That is the

0:42:20.320 --> 0:42:22.839
<v Speaker 2>which is why. By the way, who's the guy Luca

0:42:22.880 --> 0:42:26.080
<v Speaker 2>plays the best with or Luca plays the most like Lebron,

0:42:26.760 --> 0:42:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Lebron and Ad they won a title the first year together.

0:42:30.200 --> 0:42:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Like the guy the MAVs should want, like be thinking

0:42:34.600 --> 0:42:39.000
<v Speaker 2>about targeting five years from now. Is Evan Mobile Evan

0:42:39.000 --> 0:42:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Mobley the center for the or power forwards, last center

0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:45.000
<v Speaker 2>for the Cavs. He's like a Kevin Garnett clone type

0:42:45.000 --> 0:42:47.480
<v Speaker 2>of guy. That's the If you could bring a guy

0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:51.279
<v Speaker 2>from history to pair with Luca, my number one pick

0:42:51.360 --> 0:42:54.520
<v Speaker 2>might be Garnett because Garnett doesn't need the ball, is

0:42:54.560 --> 0:42:58.160
<v Speaker 2>an unbelievable a defensive player, one of the best ever,

0:42:58.600 --> 0:43:03.040
<v Speaker 2>and can the and can also score efficiently. So it

0:43:03.160 --> 0:43:04.480
<v Speaker 2>is a tough one and I don't know how the

0:43:04.480 --> 0:43:06.759
<v Speaker 2>Maps are gonna get the guy. But it's not like

0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Lucas freezing out great players.

0:43:08.640 --> 0:43:11.200
<v Speaker 4>All right, next, All right, we've now discussed this twice,

0:43:11.280 --> 0:43:12.760
<v Speaker 4>but let's get an official prediction.

0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:15.880
<v Speaker 3>All interfold. The Lakers will trade AD this year.

0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I've fold. I don't think they will. I think there's

0:43:18.000 --> 0:43:19.760
<v Speaker 2>an argument they should, but I don't think they will

0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:23.279
<v Speaker 2>the there bad. They just don't know what they're doing.

0:43:23.440 --> 0:43:24.759
<v Speaker 2>They just don't know what they're doing. All right.

0:43:24.800 --> 0:43:27.440
<v Speaker 4>Next, all right, you had a tweet Tuesday night shouting

0:43:27.440 --> 0:43:28.200
<v Speaker 4>out Colorado.

0:43:28.560 --> 0:43:30.040
<v Speaker 3>I think we might show the tweet up here.

0:43:30.120 --> 0:43:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, the Colorado legalized psychedelics.

0:43:33.640 --> 0:43:34.919
<v Speaker 3>I thought that happened a while ago.

0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:37.120
<v Speaker 2>They might have decriminalized it.

0:43:37.160 --> 0:43:41.520
<v Speaker 3>They legalized it. They legalized like you can get caught

0:43:41.560 --> 0:43:41.799
<v Speaker 3>with it.

0:43:41.800 --> 0:43:45.600
<v Speaker 2>In No, that's decriminalized is you get caught with it

0:43:45.719 --> 0:43:48.719
<v Speaker 2>and you don't go to jail. Legalized is you can

0:43:48.719 --> 0:43:52.160
<v Speaker 2>go to the store and buy them, right, I thought

0:43:52.200 --> 0:43:55.040
<v Speaker 2>that was going on. Oh but I could be Uh

0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:59.560
<v Speaker 2>so I wrote, I know literally on Denver Sportsman tape

0:43:59.600 --> 0:44:02.239
<v Speaker 2>me and I'm not welcome there. But y'all do government right?

0:44:02.480 --> 0:44:05.320
<v Speaker 2>And your state is beautiful. Can I visit maybe Boulder

0:44:05.400 --> 0:44:05.840
<v Speaker 2>at least?

0:44:06.000 --> 0:44:06.799
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead?

0:44:07.560 --> 0:44:10.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, all under fold, Colorado is the best state in

0:44:10.600 --> 0:44:11.160
<v Speaker 4>the country.

0:44:11.680 --> 0:44:12.080
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:44:12.360 --> 0:44:14.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not ready to call it the best state in

0:44:14.600 --> 0:44:22.799
<v Speaker 2>the country, however, it is over the last decade. The way,

0:44:22.960 --> 0:44:26.600
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion for my listen, I'm not gonna talk

0:44:26.680 --> 0:44:28.920
<v Speaker 2>politics here, but I will reveal mine to a degree.

0:44:30.280 --> 0:44:34.480
<v Speaker 2>The way Florida has plummeted on the Places I Could

0:44:34.520 --> 0:44:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Live list, and Colorado has skyrocketed. You then add to it,

0:44:40.360 --> 0:44:42.719
<v Speaker 2>if you're concerned about climate change the way I am,

0:44:42.960 --> 0:44:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Colorado seems relatively immune to it. There's not like I'm

0:44:46.760 --> 0:44:48.759
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be earthquakes, that's not a climate change thing.

0:44:48.960 --> 0:44:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Not gonna have to worry about sea level There the

0:44:53.200 --> 0:44:56.920
<v Speaker 2>did I eat. I love the politics. It's beautiful. You

0:44:56.960 --> 0:45:00.320
<v Speaker 2>get all four seasons. You have an NBA team. Really

0:45:00.400 --> 0:45:03.719
<v Speaker 2>sucks that Broncos and Nuggets fans hate me, so it

0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:07.600
<v Speaker 2>really sucks. I think they they're in the process of

0:45:07.640 --> 0:45:10.560
<v Speaker 2>potentially voting Bobert out. That's the one that I showed

0:45:10.600 --> 0:45:14.040
<v Speaker 2>you the real close on sixty four votes. Yeah, three

0:45:14.120 --> 0:45:17.640
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand votes cast. It is as of this moment,

0:45:17.920 --> 0:45:23.120
<v Speaker 2>a sixty four vote differential. So yeah, I mean, Colorado

0:45:23.200 --> 0:45:27.239
<v Speaker 2>is a great place. When the pandemic was when New York,

0:45:27.280 --> 0:45:29.360
<v Speaker 2>when we were like locked in our house and it

0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:31.960
<v Speaker 2>was just ambulance sirens and they had a you know,

0:45:32.400 --> 0:45:35.799
<v Speaker 2>a makeshift Morgan Central Park, and I thought things were

0:45:35.840 --> 0:45:38.720
<v Speaker 2>really really going to go left. Oh, at the beginning

0:45:38.719 --> 0:45:42.160
<v Speaker 2>of the pandemic, you weren't here you were in Kansas City. Yeah, no,

0:45:42.280 --> 0:45:44.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean there was must have been really sad out here,

0:45:44.360 --> 0:45:46.440
<v Speaker 2>but it was it was hard shift more what do

0:45:46.480 --> 0:45:48.880
<v Speaker 2>you mean? I mean they had to there were so

0:45:49.080 --> 0:45:52.680
<v Speaker 2>many dead bodies. They had to. They had to do

0:45:52.719 --> 0:45:56.240
<v Speaker 2>a makeshift Morgan Central Park. They brought a Navy ship

0:45:56.760 --> 0:45:59.880
<v Speaker 2>and put it off where by where Chelsea Piers is

0:46:00.560 --> 0:46:03.680
<v Speaker 2>as a makeshift more and there's just too many New

0:46:03.719 --> 0:46:07.000
<v Speaker 2>York In the very beginning, it was awful, awful, and

0:46:07.080 --> 0:46:08.600
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know what was gonna happen with the world.

0:46:10.400 --> 0:46:15.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a doomsday prepper, but was I looking at

0:46:15.680 --> 0:46:19.880
<v Speaker 2>ranches in Colorado, like places that had their own water

0:46:20.719 --> 0:46:23.520
<v Speaker 2>and like little underground bunkers. I was, but a lot

0:46:23.520 --> 0:46:25.760
<v Speaker 2>of a lot of people were a lot of people

0:46:25.800 --> 0:46:27.400
<v Speaker 2>were because they were expensive.

0:46:27.640 --> 0:46:28.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:34.520
<v Speaker 2>But is it like on the board demands that the

0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:39.399
<v Speaker 2>next with, you know, fingers crossed, assuming I get one

0:46:39.600 --> 0:46:42.200
<v Speaker 2>that with the next time I get a big lump

0:46:42.239 --> 0:46:44.960
<v Speaker 2>sum of money at TV contract or something that I

0:46:45.120 --> 0:46:50.800
<v Speaker 2>just buy on speculation, like ten acres somewhere outside of Denver,

0:46:51.440 --> 0:46:54.520
<v Speaker 2>just to own, just like as a worst case scenario,

0:46:54.680 --> 0:46:58.040
<v Speaker 2>like whole family is it holes up there?

0:46:58.239 --> 0:46:58.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:46:58.719 --> 0:47:01.560
<v Speaker 2>I like I like Colorado, all right. I like its

0:47:01.560 --> 0:47:05.760
<v Speaker 2>central location, I like its politics. I don't mind the snow.

0:47:06.040 --> 0:47:09.840
<v Speaker 2>I like Colorado a lot. I also promised those people

0:47:10.320 --> 0:47:13.480
<v Speaker 2>that if Bobert loses, I'm going to go on TV

0:47:13.560 --> 0:47:16.719
<v Speaker 2>and say something nice about Nikola Jokich. So there's that. Hey, Well,

0:47:16.760 --> 0:47:20.200
<v Speaker 2>answer your questions from the chat. That's next, plus a

0:47:20.200 --> 0:47:21.520
<v Speaker 2>book club update, What's Right?

0:47:26.480 --> 0:47:26.799
<v Speaker 3>All Right?

0:47:26.800 --> 0:47:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back in episode ninety three, What's Right with nick Right?

0:47:29.920 --> 0:47:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Last week's book club went far too long, and it

0:47:32.160 --> 0:47:34.840
<v Speaker 2>was because I didn't have my copy of the book,

0:47:35.040 --> 0:47:37.719
<v Speaker 2>so I didn't have the parts highlighted. There's a couple

0:47:37.800 --> 0:47:39.960
<v Speaker 2>things I just want to mention again. We're up to

0:47:40.000 --> 0:47:44.680
<v Speaker 2>page one fifty in is it right past one fifty?

0:47:44.920 --> 0:47:45.440
<v Speaker 3>We're up to.

0:47:45.360 --> 0:47:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Page one fifty five a chapter twenty five and Eh

0:47:48.560 --> 0:47:51.440
<v Speaker 2>combricks a little history of the world. For next week

0:47:51.800 --> 0:47:54.400
<v Speaker 2>we are going to because we only have two more

0:47:54.440 --> 0:47:57.000
<v Speaker 2>weeks to finish this, so you know what, let's make

0:47:57.040 --> 0:48:01.319
<v Speaker 2>it easy this week and for next week we are

0:48:01.440 --> 0:48:04.759
<v Speaker 2>going to get to chapter thirty two. We're gonna get

0:48:04.840 --> 0:48:07.560
<v Speaker 2>to page two oh six. What's so funny the I

0:48:07.680 --> 0:48:12.120
<v Speaker 2>read books and this can because it's a history book

0:48:12.160 --> 0:48:14.680
<v Speaker 2>be a little dry, so I'm gonna be very quick here.

0:48:14.680 --> 0:48:17.239
<v Speaker 2>There's just a few things here that I found really interesting.

0:48:17.520 --> 0:48:19.839
<v Speaker 2>So the beginning of our section this week was really

0:48:19.880 --> 0:48:23.240
<v Speaker 2>about the Roman Empire. Okay, so they talk about Julius

0:48:23.239 --> 0:48:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Caesar and how much he you know, he essentially conquered

0:48:27.400 --> 0:48:29.080
<v Speaker 2>the world. So do you know, have you ever heard

0:48:29.080 --> 0:48:34.280
<v Speaker 2>the phrase demons at two brute? At two Brutus? Okay,

0:48:34.440 --> 0:48:37.680
<v Speaker 2>So Julius Caesar was incredibly the most powerful man in

0:48:37.680 --> 0:48:39.080
<v Speaker 2>the world, is kind of the ruler of the world,

0:48:39.120 --> 0:48:42.440
<v Speaker 2>head of the Roman Empire. And then his friends and

0:48:42.480 --> 0:48:44.360
<v Speaker 2>colleagues got sick effect, he had so much power in

0:48:44.360 --> 0:48:47.000
<v Speaker 2>the stab him and one of the people that sapped

0:48:47.040 --> 0:48:50.280
<v Speaker 2>him was Brutus, who was his friend and famously historically

0:48:50.320 --> 0:48:52.840
<v Speaker 2>he said at two brute, but he was being stabbed

0:48:53.000 --> 0:48:55.319
<v Speaker 2>because he's like even you, Bruce, So like when a

0:48:55.360 --> 0:48:59.360
<v Speaker 2>friend betrays you at to brute is like, that's what

0:48:59.400 --> 0:49:01.560
<v Speaker 2>you would have said, Opey this week, sorry, should we

0:49:03.120 --> 0:49:05.440
<v Speaker 2>demonte got an argument with a friend of his. I

0:49:05.560 --> 0:49:08.680
<v Speaker 2>was very proud by the way proud parenting moment. Uh

0:49:09.080 --> 0:49:15.359
<v Speaker 2>demand sometimes gets like very loud and it's a little concerning. Yeah,

0:49:15.360 --> 0:49:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't love. I'm not the best example of this,

0:49:19.719 --> 0:49:23.480
<v Speaker 2>but I don't love how you control your anger at times.

0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you get to a twelve when maybe it should

0:49:26.840 --> 0:49:31.520
<v Speaker 2>simmer at an eight. However, Demande was yelling, yelling at

0:49:31.520 --> 0:49:34.360
<v Speaker 2>a friend of his. But it was because Demanse was

0:49:34.400 --> 0:49:35.799
<v Speaker 2>trying to fight for righteousness.

0:49:35.840 --> 0:49:37.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and he was also I had in my air

0:49:37.920 --> 0:49:39.440
<v Speaker 4>body was also screaming at me.

0:49:39.440 --> 0:49:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I was okay, right, but he's not my kid, my

0:49:42.280 --> 0:49:49.360
<v Speaker 2>responsibility the but but Demanse was fighting legitimately angry with

0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:52.120
<v Speaker 2>his friend because he thought his friend was being I

0:49:52.160 --> 0:49:54.400
<v Speaker 2>don't want to wrong side on the wrong side of

0:49:54.440 --> 0:49:57.600
<v Speaker 2>history on something, and Demonse was fighting for a righteous cause.

0:49:57.880 --> 0:50:02.319
<v Speaker 2>So what's interest? So remember how I we talked about Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,

0:50:02.520 --> 0:50:05.600
<v Speaker 2>the gods. So the Julian calendar is the one we

0:50:05.640 --> 0:50:08.879
<v Speaker 2>still use. Named after Julius Caesar, he gets a month

0:50:09.000 --> 0:50:13.440
<v Speaker 2>named after him, July for Julius and his adopted son

0:50:13.680 --> 0:50:17.200
<v Speaker 2>who took over after him was Augustus, and that's where

0:50:17.200 --> 0:50:20.560
<v Speaker 2>we get august from. How about that? Also, I don't

0:50:20.640 --> 0:50:24.279
<v Speaker 2>have your mom has all these nicknames for everyone, what

0:50:24.320 --> 0:50:26.960
<v Speaker 2>do you I don't have a nickname for you, I

0:50:27.120 --> 0:50:28.880
<v Speaker 2>just call you pau What do you think of the

0:50:28.960 --> 0:50:30.120
<v Speaker 2>nickname Augustus?

0:50:32.320 --> 0:50:33.040
<v Speaker 3>Augustus?

0:50:33.080 --> 0:50:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Can I tell you why so Julius Caesar? That would

0:50:37.560 --> 0:50:40.680
<v Speaker 2>make me like Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar is one of

0:50:40.680 --> 0:50:43.640
<v Speaker 2>the most powerful men in the world. His adopted son

0:50:44.160 --> 0:50:46.799
<v Speaker 2>who took over for him was Augustus. So I think

0:50:46.840 --> 0:50:50.319
<v Speaker 2>I might circle on you, Aggie. Can we make a

0:50:50.320 --> 0:50:54.320
<v Speaker 2>graphic of that? Then we get to talking about ponscious

0:50:54.360 --> 0:50:59.319
<v Speaker 2>pilot in Jesus Christ. It's very fascinating. Also, I underrated

0:50:59.719 --> 0:51:02.799
<v Speaker 2>how bad Narrow was. I might be saying it wrong.

0:51:02.960 --> 0:51:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Everybody I've heard of people reference the ruler Narrow about

0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:10.960
<v Speaker 2>how brutal he was. What I didn't know was he

0:51:11.040 --> 0:51:13.160
<v Speaker 2>had his own mother murdered, and his wife and tutor,

0:51:13.200 --> 0:51:17.120
<v Speaker 2>along with a number a number of their other relations

0:51:17.120 --> 0:51:19.120
<v Speaker 2>and friends because he lived in a constant fear of

0:51:19.160 --> 0:51:22.160
<v Speaker 2>an assassination. So he was just like, ah, I don't

0:51:22.160 --> 0:51:24.920
<v Speaker 2>love you, you scare me. Saw as have you killed?

0:51:26.200 --> 0:51:29.600
<v Speaker 2>The book then talks about how that if in the

0:51:29.680 --> 0:51:32.479
<v Speaker 2>Roman Empire, if you weren't a Christian or a Jew

0:51:32.600 --> 0:51:35.640
<v Speaker 2>or a close relative of Narrow, if you just lived

0:51:35.640 --> 0:51:39.120
<v Speaker 2>like out in the land whose life was pretty peaceful

0:51:39.160 --> 0:51:42.359
<v Speaker 2>and pleasant. And then you talk about the Jersey chapter.

0:51:43.400 --> 0:51:46.040
<v Speaker 2>This is page one hundred where I'm reading from right there,

0:51:46.480 --> 0:51:51.080
<v Speaker 2>and he talks about the Emperor Trajan who built what what?

0:51:51.280 --> 0:51:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Chapter? What?

0:51:52.680 --> 0:51:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Chapter seventeen seventeen.

0:51:54.680 --> 0:51:56.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's the chapter that every really got me thinking,

0:51:56.920 --> 0:51:59.359
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, about what the fact that they built those

0:51:59.360 --> 0:52:01.960
<v Speaker 4>colisseums I can hold like up to fifty thousand people.

0:52:02.320 --> 0:52:05.080
<v Speaker 4>It's just so crazy to think that like that that

0:52:05.120 --> 0:52:07.279
<v Speaker 4>could hold a sporting event now, but it was two

0:52:07.280 --> 0:52:08.080
<v Speaker 4>thousand years ago.

0:52:08.160 --> 0:52:12.319
<v Speaker 2>Like these guys are really gods. All right, you've now

0:52:12.400 --> 0:52:13.239
<v Speaker 2>tilted me here?

0:52:13.360 --> 0:52:13.839
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean?

0:52:13.920 --> 0:52:16.319
<v Speaker 2>So that's a great observation, and it's a good point.

0:52:16.920 --> 0:52:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Did you read Yeah, I've been reading it. I've definitely

0:52:20.200 --> 0:52:22.200
<v Speaker 3>been keeping up. Man, you have no idea what I

0:52:22.200 --> 0:52:23.120
<v Speaker 3>do in my spare time.

0:52:23.640 --> 0:52:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's true, and I have you really been reading.

0:52:27.000 --> 0:52:29.960
<v Speaker 3>It somewhat cliff notes cliffs.

0:52:29.520 --> 0:52:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Notes of this book. All right, I'll take it. There's

0:52:33.600 --> 0:52:35.600
<v Speaker 2>book club for the week. Next week we get to

0:52:35.680 --> 0:52:37.759
<v Speaker 2>page I think it's two oh seven, and then the

0:52:37.800 --> 0:52:39.960
<v Speaker 2>following week we finish it. All right, let's answer some

0:52:40.040 --> 0:52:41.640
<v Speaker 2>questions from the readers, because then we got to go.

0:52:41.960 --> 0:52:45.080
<v Speaker 4>All right, First questions from Eric o'mayley. He asked, do

0:52:45.120 --> 0:52:47.920
<v Speaker 4>you ever bet NBA player props? Do you avoid betting

0:52:47.920 --> 0:52:50.719
<v Speaker 4>on small NBA slates such as the one tonight with

0:52:50.800 --> 0:52:51.560
<v Speaker 4>only four games?

0:52:51.680 --> 0:52:54.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't really bet NBA until the postseason or if

0:52:54.120 --> 0:52:56.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to a game. If I'm going to a game,

0:52:56.440 --> 0:52:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll bet just for some added entertainment. And I'm not

0:52:59.760 --> 0:53:02.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sharp on player props NFL or NBA.

0:53:02.719 --> 0:53:05.640
<v Speaker 4>Next, all right, Luke julian as, is the Draymond punch

0:53:05.680 --> 0:53:08.160
<v Speaker 4>affecting the Warriors or is it more of the lack

0:53:08.200 --> 0:53:11.279
<v Speaker 4>of bench production. Steph is playing like an MVP, yet

0:53:11.320 --> 0:53:12.200
<v Speaker 4>they aren't very good.

0:53:12.280 --> 0:53:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, listen, I think the Draymond punch pool

0:53:17.160 --> 0:53:18.040
<v Speaker 2>has not gotten better.

0:53:19.320 --> 0:53:21.160
<v Speaker 3>Clay has like a little chip on his shoulder.

0:53:21.200 --> 0:53:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Clay and Draymond have gotten a little bit worse

0:53:24.360 --> 0:53:30.160
<v Speaker 2>as you would expect. Wiseman's been a negative and Kaminga

0:53:30.160 --> 0:53:33.440
<v Speaker 2>and Moody aren't doing anything like Steph is really having

0:53:33.480 --> 0:53:36.640
<v Speaker 2>to carry that load. It Also, by the way, we

0:53:36.800 --> 0:53:39.680
<v Speaker 2>all need to come to grips with the fact that

0:53:40.600 --> 0:53:43.040
<v Speaker 2>I know the Warriors just won the title and then

0:53:43.640 --> 0:53:46.600
<v Speaker 2>two years before that the Lakers won the title, and

0:53:46.920 --> 0:53:49.600
<v Speaker 2>in the year in between it looked like the Nets

0:53:49.600 --> 0:53:52.600
<v Speaker 2>and Durant, We're gonna win the title their first year

0:53:52.600 --> 0:53:56.880
<v Speaker 2>with Harden. It is in play, In fact, is overwhelmingly

0:53:57.040 --> 0:54:00.799
<v Speaker 2>likely that Lebron, Steph and Kadi that that that that

0:54:00.880 --> 0:54:04.800
<v Speaker 2>era is done, that this is the yannest Jah Luca

0:54:04.960 --> 0:54:07.040
<v Speaker 2>era that we are in the midst of, not that

0:54:07.040 --> 0:54:10.640
<v Speaker 2>that's on its way, that that's where we are right now.

0:54:10.760 --> 0:54:14.239
<v Speaker 4>Next assessment, Justin asked, are you guys gonna do something

0:54:14.280 --> 0:54:16.000
<v Speaker 4>special for episode one hundred coming up?

0:54:16.400 --> 0:54:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I hadn't thought about that, but yes, get on that,

0:54:18.800 --> 0:54:20.520
<v Speaker 2>folks at Blue Duck. I don't know what that means,

0:54:20.520 --> 0:54:21.279
<v Speaker 2>but let's do something.

0:54:21.320 --> 0:54:21.680
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead.

0:54:21.760 --> 0:54:24.359
<v Speaker 4>The Hill asked, what would you do with Kawhi if

0:54:24.360 --> 0:54:25.440
<v Speaker 4>you were the GM of the clip?

0:54:25.560 --> 0:54:29.240
<v Speaker 2>What can you do? I don't know. The the Kauhi

0:54:29.280 --> 0:54:34.040
<v Speaker 2>things the most baffling thing in sports right now. Did

0:54:34.120 --> 0:54:38.719
<v Speaker 2>he re injure his knee? What is happening? He got

0:54:38.800 --> 0:54:40.879
<v Speaker 2>hurt two seasons ago?

0:54:41.320 --> 0:54:43.200
<v Speaker 3>This is the play where the guy fell on him

0:54:43.200 --> 0:54:44.759
<v Speaker 3>after he was shooting, right, this is.

0:54:45.960 --> 0:54:49.320
<v Speaker 4>Which what do you mean? For two years ago Kawhi

0:54:49.360 --> 0:54:53.960
<v Speaker 4>was shooting and that somebody was in his landing span.

0:54:54.080 --> 0:54:56.359
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, that was that was where Kwi got his

0:54:56.360 --> 0:54:59.080
<v Speaker 2>first mate was the first one with the first No,

0:54:59.480 --> 0:55:03.200
<v Speaker 2>the ace was he just went up for a jump

0:55:03.200 --> 0:55:04.640
<v Speaker 2>shot in the playoffs and landed.

0:55:04.680 --> 0:55:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Funny.

0:55:05.360 --> 0:55:07.880
<v Speaker 2>No, he didn't land on anyone, and they said he

0:55:07.880 --> 0:55:11.000
<v Speaker 2>had a knee sprain. But evidently towards ACL was two

0:55:11.080 --> 0:55:13.120
<v Speaker 2>years ago. I don't understand it.

0:55:13.200 --> 0:55:16.120
<v Speaker 4>Next all right, Lewis Haynes says, I rained from KC

0:55:16.320 --> 0:55:19.080
<v Speaker 4>and represent the finest of the city, from Peanut Wings

0:55:19.120 --> 0:55:23.440
<v Speaker 4>to Margarita's at Los Carals to or Lost Corral. Sorry

0:55:23.680 --> 0:55:25.640
<v Speaker 4>to shopping at the River Market. Oh the River Market,

0:55:25.640 --> 0:55:27.799
<v Speaker 4>I've been there before. What's your favorite barbecue in Kansas City?

0:55:27.960 --> 0:55:29.680
<v Speaker 4>Been listening since ninety six point five?

0:55:29.840 --> 0:55:35.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, and listening that's Lazlo and slimpization. Listen. The

0:55:35.400 --> 0:55:40.920
<v Speaker 2>best barbecue is jack Stack, But Jacksack is expensive. You

0:55:41.000 --> 0:55:45.240
<v Speaker 2>need a reservation. It's you know what I mean, cloth tablecloths.

0:55:45.520 --> 0:55:48.200
<v Speaker 2>It's not a real barbecue joint. It's like a fine

0:55:48.239 --> 0:55:51.759
<v Speaker 2>dining place that serves barbecue. So it's in a separate category.

0:55:52.000 --> 0:55:54.759
<v Speaker 2>So of the barbecue joints. Arthur Bryant's is far and

0:55:54.760 --> 0:55:58.359
<v Speaker 2>away my favorite. Arthur Bryants right next to Negro League

0:55:58.400 --> 0:56:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Museum down on Eighteenth buying. I think it's the best

0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:03.560
<v Speaker 2>barbecue join in the country. Joe's is good. All the

0:56:03.640 --> 0:56:05.680
<v Speaker 2>barbicane can't see it's good. It's the best barbecue place

0:56:05.680 --> 0:56:08.799
<v Speaker 2>in the world. But my favorite is Arthur Bryant's. All right.

0:56:08.880 --> 0:56:11.319
<v Speaker 4>Last Matt Ford asked, did Nick fall for the fake

0:56:11.440 --> 0:56:12.920
<v Speaker 4>lebron trade sweet yesterday?

0:56:13.040 --> 0:56:15.719
