00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 4: JD.

23
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: Hello, there he is, and here we are. Thanks for

24
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: listening on a Monday morning here. Before we get to

25
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 2: discussing last week's NBA Board of Governor's meeting and which

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: plan is growing momentum to restart this season, and who's

27
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: going to coach the Knicks, and whether or not we

28
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 2: like Lemon Cake, I just wanted to make it very

29
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: clear that all of this, all of what we're about

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: to talk about, pales in comparison to the importance of

31
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: what is actually happening right here in the United States

32
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: right now. You don't need me to tell you that

33
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: it's all kinds of stuff right now. And I think

34
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: it's important to repeat what sparked all this, because, as

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: crazy as it sounds, I don't know if you guys agree.

36
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: I feel like people have lost the message because a

37
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: weekend of watching protests on Instagram and people smashing windows

38
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: and lightning cop cars on fire on Facebook and police

39
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: being police shooting and arresting the media on Twitter. I

40
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: think that can make you lose sort of sight of

41
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: the message here because the fog of media is real,

42
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: so let's repeat it. Last Monday, George Floyd, a forty

43
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: six year old black man and resident of Minneapolis, was killed.

44
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: By a police officer. I'm sure you've seen the video.

45
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: The officer kept a knee pinned on George's neck even

46
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 2: as he was pleading I can't breathe all while other

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: officers at the scene did nothing to intervene. So sadly,

48
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: this is nothing new. Police killings have trended upward in

49
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: recent years, and black men are more likely to be killed.

50
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: That's just a fact. Police brutality, in my opinion, and

51
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: a lot of people's opinion, of course, is out of control.

52
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: And it is this reality that people are protesting. Okay,

53
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: that's obviously not enough, though, and none of us can

54
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: remain silent on this, especially us white guys. We need

55
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: to show our support. We need to educate ourselves, we

56
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: need to donate, we need to volunteer, and we need

57
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: to vote. And I want to add this because I'm

58
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 2: guessing some of you listening to this right now are

59
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: uncomfortable and you don't want to hear it. I know

60
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 2: this because every time we discuss something real and raw

61
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: and gasp. Political, We get the stick to sports emails

62
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 2: or tweets and people scolding us and threatening that they're

63
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: done with the show or they never want to listen

64
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: or watch us. Again, we get that all the time,

65
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: and we don't care. If that's how you feel, then

66
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: we don't want you on our team.

67
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 5: All right.

68
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: For fifteen years, we have never, I don't think, tried

69
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: to hide who we are as people. To you the listener.

70
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah we talk, Paul, Yeah we make way too many

71
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: poop jokes for adults. We generally try to have a

72
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: good time, but we also share our life experiences on

73
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: this pod. Our highs are lows, our passions, our personal

74
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: opinions about systemic racism, gender inequality, politics, and so on.

75
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: And I think, and I think a lot of the

76
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: guys here with me truly believe in my heart that's

77
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: the reason why our show has lasted this long and

78
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: why it resonates with so many of you listeners out

79
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: there and people of all color. I might add, is

80
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: because we're never trying to be something we ain't. I mean,

81
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: I always say this to people. The only fake thing

82
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: about our show is my dumbass nickname. Okay, so you

83
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: have my word, We're always going to try and keep

84
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: it real with you. We're fed up, we're angry, we're scared,

85
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: like I'm sure a lot of you listening today, but

86
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 2: this has to change, and.

87
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 3: We got to play our part.

88
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: So I'll shut up now and I will open the

89
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: pod floor here to any of you guys. I want

90
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 2: to talk about this matter and what's unfolded here in

91
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: Atlanta and across the country this past week. But I'll

92
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: end with this. I know I speak for everybody here

93
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: at No Dunks that we're committed to being part of

94
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: the solution, you know, as opposed to perpetuating the problem

95
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: with any sort of silence. So sorry for the rant,

96
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: but it's obviously a crazy, insane weeks Lash weekend here

97
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: in the US, in Atlanta where we live, and that's wild.

98
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll just jump in and say.

99
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 4: It's very, very very important to keep in perspective why

100
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 4: people are out on the streets because George Floyd died

101
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 4: last Monday, and we did several podcasts where, yeah, we

102
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 4: talked about it very briefly, but we're only really talking

103
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 4: about it because black people mainly raise their voice and

104
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 4: so we're a part of the problem. Everybody's a part

105
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 4: of the problem, and really what it comes down to

106
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: at its core is that police are killing black men

107
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: and women, and so yes, there's people who are looting,

108
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 4: and a lot of discussion about where that's coming from,

109
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: whether it's right wing activists that are taking advance this

110
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: opportunity to make people on the left and black people

111
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 4: look bad. Regardless of that, we have to look past

112
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 4: that because it's being sensationalized all over the world. Everywhere

113
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 4: is looking at America and is looking at specifically those

114
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 4: the looting and the rioting and the vandalism. But what's

115
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 4: not getting attention is there are far more, far more

116
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 4: peaceful protests, and it's easy to just point and say, well,

117
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 4: but now looting, looting is going to happen when black

118
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 4: people are dying and black people are only this is

119
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 4: only being discussed because it was being videotaped. In both

120
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 4: instances were George Floyd and Ahmad Arbury. Only those situations

121
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 4: did they come to light because it was being filmed.

122
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 4: So there's a heck of a lot happening in the dark,

123
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 4: and this bringing this to light and us having a

124
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: discussion about it, I just sincerely hope that this isn't

125
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 4: just a discussion because it happened over the weekend. And

126
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: I'm guilty of it too, but I mean, the protests happened,

127
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 4: happened over the weekend. It has to it has to

128
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: be a real, a real systemic change. I mean, that's

129
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 4: that's what it really comes down to. And uh, the

130
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: police brutality that happened over the weekend, and and rubber

131
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 4: bullets being shot in people's eyes, white people's eyes, and

132
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 4: people losing their sight, and and the old white power

133
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: symbol being being flashed by New York police one specific person.

134
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 4: It's it all can just it all the fog of

135
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: the media, as you put at Skeetz, it is really

136
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 4: really uh is apparent, especially on social media where there's

137
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 4: you know, the sensational stuff gets pushed to the forefront.

138
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 4: But what's really happening is that people get murdered. And

139
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 4: in the Amad Arbery case, those two men who hunted

140
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 4: Arbery down like he was some sort of animal. Uh,

141
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 4: And the the humanization of black people is what really

142
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: is happening. And so when Steven Jackson steps up for

143
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: his friend in Minneapolis and Karl Anthony Towns and Josh

144
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 4: Koje and Jamie FOXX was there to to show their support.

145
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 4: It takes it takes stuff like that for people, for

146
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: people like us, for us white folk to to really

147
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 4: to to talk about it and perk up and and yeah,

148
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 4: we can't stop talking about until really their systemic change.

149
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 4: And this is this is this is racism in in

150
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: the US. This is a very very very very complicated

151
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 4: issue that goes back centuries. So it's it's it's it's yeah,

152
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 4: we can just sort of, you know, step up to

153
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 4: the plate and say, hey, we gotta, we gotta do this.

154
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 5: But it doesn't. It doesn't change with words.

155
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 4: It changes with policy change and a lot of people

156
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 4: voicing their concerns, and it starts with white people that

157
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: we need to be a part of the solution and

158
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 4: not the problem.

159
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's exactly right, Skeets. You mentioned it that it

160
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 6: can be an uncomfortable conversation because I think there can

161
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 6: be a paralysis of not knowing the right thing to

162
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 6: say or the right way to say it. But backing

163
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 6: out of the conversation because you don't know the right

164
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 6: way to say it is worse than saying saying nothing,

165
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 6: is worse than saying the wrong thing and saying it

166
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 6: in the wrong way, and maybe not in an elequent way.

167
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 6: Massai u Jeri pointed out, your voice matters, especially when

168
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 6: you're a leader or influential figure, and especially if you

169
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 6: were white. Leaders have to be bold enough to state

170
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 6: the obvious and call out racism. It's racist that black

171
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 6: men are being murdered by the police since the founding

172
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 6: of this country. For us. You know, I just sat

173
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 6: at home this weekend and was angry and said all

174
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 6: weekend and did my best to listen and to learn

175
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 6: and to figure out how I can help, and how

176
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 6: I can be an advocate and an ally and how

177
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 6: I can be virulently anti racist, and you know, just

178
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 6: shout it down wherever it is. It's a hard conversation

179
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 6: to have with your kids, but you got to do it,

180
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 6: even if they're you know, I got young kids, but

181
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 6: I don't want them. I want them to know that

182
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 6: there are people who look like us who treat black

183
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 6: people the wrong way, and that they cannot be like that,

184
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 6: and that they need to stop it from happening as well,

185
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 6: because it has happened for generations upon generations upon generations,

186
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 6: and it's just becoming more and more apparent now because

187
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 6: everybody has a video camera. The police is militarized to

188
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 6: a point that makes absolutely no sense. They ramp things

189
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 6: up when they show up and people are peacefully protesting,

190
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 6: then you see a police tank roll up. There's no

191
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 6: way that helps. There are so many problems here in America,

192
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 6: and talking about them is the first step, but action

193
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 6: is even more important. We definitely got to vote. If

194
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 6: you are comfortable protesting, you should be protesting. If you're

195
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 6: able to donate, you can donate to bail funds, you

196
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 6: can donate to the ACLU. There are places where your

197
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 6: time and your money can be very important.

198
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would just add to that with what Trey said.

199
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 7: Some of us who live here and work here and

200
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 7: have lived here for several years, it's still aren't eligible

201
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 7: to vote, and that's fine, that's the law of the country.

202
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 7: But for those of you who are citizens and are

203
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 7: able to vote, I would implore all of you to

204
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 7: go out and make your voice heard at the ballad

205
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 7: box because change won't happen until there is real change

206
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 7: at the top and the government. That's certainly not happening

207
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 7: right now. When you have a president who inflames these situations,

208
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 7: and the only real change is going to come when

209
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 7: people are in power who can actually make change happen.

210
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 7: And yes, it was a very very uncomfortable weekend talking

211
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 7: to my two boys about what was going on and

212
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 7: why we had to basically stay home. And I try

213
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 7: to not show them too much for what was going on,

214
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 7: because it's pretty scary when it's happening just up the

215
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 7: road from where we live here. And you know, America has,

216
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 7: as Trey mentioned, a lot of problems, and one of them,

217
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 7: and the most significant one that I think really needs

218
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 7: to change, is police being held accountable for murdering people,

219
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 7: because this is what happens is outrage will happen over

220
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 7: the George Floyd murder. From what I've seen in the past.

221
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 7: He will get some sort of punishment maybe, but not

222
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 7: a significant punishment, not a deterrent this. The police officer

223
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 7: had a long criminal record basically of treating people and

224
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 7: civilians badly, and he should not have been a police officer.

225
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 7: And the way that he kneeled on George Floyd's neck

226
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 7: showed me that he knew he wasn't going to get

227
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 7: in trouble for that. Now I know he's been charged

228
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 7: with third degree murder, but if he serves any significant time,

229
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 7: I'll be shocked. And that's really what the problem is here,

230
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 7: that police officers have to know that if they're going

231
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 7: to treat people like that and murder people, they're going

232
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 7: to be held accountable and jailed and serve time. And

233
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 7: that has to start again from the top, from leadership,

234
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 7: where laws have to change. So I hope again everybody

235
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 7: who is eligible to vote in this country will go

236
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 7: out and do so and make their voice heard and

237
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 7: their vote count, because that's the only way things are

238
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 7: going to significantly change at the start. And I just

239
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 7: hope that people hear this message and they don't get

240
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 7: lazy come voting time. They get out there and do

241
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 7: what they can.

242
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: And I implore you to go and read I mean, Trey,

243
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: you slipped it in there. Go and read what Raptor's

244
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: president Massayujieri wrote about the death of George Flood. Go

245
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 2: and read about you know, Kareem Abdul Jabbar's stirring up

246
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: ed in the La Times. Go and read what Marty

247
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: Williams has written for The Athletic. He is angry, he's afraid,

248
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: he's in pain, like a lot of people in America

249
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: right now. Watch videos of Lennie Walker cleaning up after

250
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 2: a protest, and you know Georgia Natives, Jayalen Brown driving

251
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: fifteen hours to get down here to Georgia, and Malcolm

252
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: Broughton helping to be some leaders, you know, protesting this

253
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: police brutality. Dennis Smith Junior, Tobias Harris, and it goes

254
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 2: on and on and on. Watch these videos and read

255
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 2: these people, and I would hear at the Athletic I mean,

256
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: I know a lot of us have tweeted it out

257
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: here on No Dunks. Go and listen to the hoops

258
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: at jacent podcasts with Hall of Famer David Aldridge and

259
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: Big Wasas and Marcus Thompson. Here those three black men

260
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: talk about their experiences of what's happened in the last

261
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: week and in their life. Do it, I mean, at

262
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 2: the very least do that, and then try and do

263
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: a whole lot more, like the guys have said, because

264
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: this country is broken politically, economically, and the criminal system

265
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: is a mess because it does it dehumanizes black people.

266
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: So we gotta do better. And JD, I don't know

267
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 2: if you have anything else to add but it's it's

268
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: scary and we need to have the Like Trey said,

269
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 2: the uncomfortable conversation about it.

270
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: I would echo what all you guys are and definitely

271
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: some very difficult conversations I had with my kids. I'm

272
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: ashamed to say my first instinct was to run away.

273
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: Like everybody in the car. We're moving back to Canada.

274
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: Not that there isn't racism and problems there, but at

275
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: least I can vote there, you know what I mean.

276
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, the solution killer Mike had a great talk

277
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: over the weekend on Friday, was he so eloquently put it,

278
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: You got a plot, plan, strategize, organize, and mobilize. We

279
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: have to vote out all of these can racists at

280
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: every level of government. It's not just the dufest at

281
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: the top. It's everybody. Know who your local people are,

282
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: find out who are the problem, and get rid of them.

283
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: And I would also add to that, fill out your senses.

284
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: Because this last census was twenty ten, the demographics have changed.

285
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: We need to fill out the census everybody so we

286
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: have an accurate representation of who is actually in this country,

287
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: and then create police services that reflect that population, because

288
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: that's what that's what's going on. That is what's going

289
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: to happen. I used to think that time was going

290
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: to heal this that you know, racism is an old

291
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: guy thing that's gonna They're all gonna die and that's

292
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: all gonna go away. Well, this can idiot was is

293
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: younger than me, Derek Schavan and this is not going away.

294
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: Like we have to change the culture. So that's that's

295
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: all I would say.

296
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: One hundred percent. And everyone out there listening, of course,

297
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: stay safe on top of this.

298
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 2: If you are capable to get out there in protest.

299
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: All right, it's time for the updown report.

300
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 8: People with flexible films are socially active and adaptable and

301
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 8: are always open to new thoughts and ideas.

302
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 6: It's okay.

303
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 3: First one.

304
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: The NBA is planning a Thursday vote with the league's

305
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: board of governors, and the owners are expected to approve

306
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: Commissioner Adam Silver's recommendation on a format to restart the

307
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: season in Orlando.

308
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: Word is there's.

309
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: Growing support for a plan to bring twenty two teams

310
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: to Disney in July. This format, again, these are reports,

311
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: would likely include regular season and play in games to

312
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: compete for playoff berth in both conferences. So up or

313
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 2: down on the reported plans of a twenty two team

314
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: restart task, what do.

315
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 4: You think generally? I'm up twenty two teams. Yeah, short

316
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 4: regular season, play in tournament, and then playoffs, which you know,

317
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 4: we don't know the exact details. Sounds like it's going

318
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 4: to be four regular rounds. But I like the regular

319
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 4: season idea because it just allows players to get in shape,

320
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 4: not because it's great to have regular season games on

321
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 4: the docket. I don't think there's going to be much

322
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 4: change in the playoff pictures teams jockeying or teams even

323
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 4: getting in that are outside the playoffs. I don't think

324
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 4: it really matters for that. I just think it's good

325
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 4: to have regular season game without calling them scrimmages, to

326
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 4: get players in their best shape right before the postseason,

327
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 4: where we can see the best basketball because there's regular

328
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 4: season games and the play in tournament good for teams

329
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 4: that want to get in. The Wizards don't need to

330
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 4: be there. I would choose twenty teams cut the Wizards,

331
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 4: cut the Suns. Sorry, but you know, in general, I

332
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 4: like the idea of teams still getting an option or

333
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 4: still getting the possibility even if they don't get in

334
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 4: during the quote unquote regular season, they have this play

335
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 4: in tournament option, And look, I would like to see

336
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 4: the group stage change or possibility or format I should

337
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 4: say here when we have this opportunity, But it doesn't

338
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 4: look like that's going to happen. But it seems like

339
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 4: as a package this combined with the fact that it

340
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 4: seems like even families won't be allowed to join the

341
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 4: players when they come. They're going to have to arrive

342
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 4: at a later date according to reports, I think is

343
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 4: really smart to minimize the amount of people being in

344
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 4: Orlando for the longest period of time, buying with the

345
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 4: fact that Disney's probably gonna be open. So all in all,

346
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 4: I think this is a good way to make everybody happy.

347
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 4: But the Wizards stay home.

348
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, the twenty two teams seems just just looking at

349
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 6: it seems so arbitrary, especially considering we had heard the

350
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 6: proposal about the twenty team group stage and it's like, okay,

351
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 6: so I guess the Wizards and the Suns were just

352
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 6: complaining that they didn't get invited. I guess we'll have

353
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 6: them come now. So I don't know twenty two teams

354
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 6: just sounds like we're adding more and more people to

355
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 6: this bubble where there's still gonna be COVID concerns and

356
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 6: we're still worrying about the health and safety of all

357
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 6: the players there. There's no reason for those couple of

358
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 6: teams to be invited as well. But you know, sometimes

359
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 6: with the NBA restarting, it feels like we're getting a

360
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 6: new plan which is quote unquote gaining steam every single day,

361
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 6: which to me sort of leads me down the path

362
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 6: of thinking that when it's all said and done, we're

363
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 6: going to play one through sixteen a normal East and

364
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 6: Western Conference playoffs, because it just things are going to

365
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 6: be too hard to settle on. I guess they'll take

366
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 6: this vote, they'll have a few different proposals, and they'll

367
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 6: go which would with whichever one has the most support,

368
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 6: because Adam Silver seems to be a bit of a

369
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 6: consensus builder. But to me, group stage makes the most sense.

370
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 6: Twenty two teams just sounds gimmicky, So I don't know.

371
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 6: I assume we'll get the basics when all is said

372
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 6: and done.

373
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 7: It sounds to me like it's a way to just

374
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 7: try to get Zion there too, to be honest, you know,

375
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 7: to keep him, get him playing, and you know he's

376
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 7: a drawer and people wanted to see him. But I'm

377
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 7: down on it too because I think less is more

378
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 7: in this situation, and I think you want to just

379
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 7: get straight to the playoffs and start start playing for it,

380
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 7: because again, we don't know how this is going to

381
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 7: be affected by you know, this virus, and if someone

382
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 7: contracts it, how that if this will even continue or

383
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 7: if it will end, if if if that goes through

384
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 7: a team and knocks knocks players out. So I would

385
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 7: just again, there's no right solution here. There's nothing, no

386
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 7: format that's going to work perfectly, and everyone's going to

387
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 7: agree to and think he's great. So if I was

388
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 7: Adam Silver in the NBA, I would just head straight

389
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 7: to the playoffs and try to get things started as

390
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 7: quickly as possible into that format because it's going to

391
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 7: be too you know, the playoffs goes for two months anyway,

392
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 7: so it's going to be all of August and September.

393
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 7: I think you probably want to make it a little

394
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 7: bit shorter than that, and you can do that by

395
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 7: starting the playoffs and then again in that first round,

396
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 7: if it's the sort of traditional format we have. I

397
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 7: would just make that first round best of five to

398
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 7: try to get through the games as quick as possible,

399
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 7: to get to the finals a little bit quicker than

400
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 7: you normally would.

401
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: My guess is that Silver in the league don't want

402
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: to go just to the playoffs for a couple of

403
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: reasons though ly, and the first being you know, we're

404
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: going to have to have sort of these scrimmage games anyway,

405
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 2: so if we can make them regular season games, then

406
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: it's a win win because we also a lot of

407
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: these teams do have to hit this you know, this

408
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: number of games played on the regional sports network, so

409
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: they don't have to basically give you know, millions upon

410
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: millions of dollars back and so they can keep that revenue.

411
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 2: And then the other part is, you know, we we've

412
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 2: had a lot of debates about, well, the first round

413
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: of the playoffs suck anyway. There's a bunch of sweeps,

414
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: and there's some five game series no one cares about,

415
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: and yeah, maybe there's one or two good ones. And

416
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: I wonder in returning to to restart play, where all

417
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 2: eyeballs or a lot of eyeballs are gonna be like

418
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 2: Jones infer the NBA action to be back. It's like, oh,

419
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: we don't want to start with maybe these lackluster matchups,

420
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: and it's like, well, okay, maybe we'll have some sort

421
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: of exciting, you know, playoff races or these play in games,

422
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: tournaments or whatever it is, like build that excitement. I

423
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: think those are sort of the three reasons why we're

424
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: gonna ultimately come to this plan. I think this is

425
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: gonna happen. Be at twenty or twenty two teams with

426
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: this sort of regular season and then a fun little

427
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: play in and then the normal playoffs East and West.

428
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 2: That's my that's my reasoning at this point. I'm I'm

429
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: just up on any reported plan now because let's just

430
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: let's just do it. Let's just hopefully get to playing

431
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: basketball in the future. Because in related news, the NBA

432
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: is targeting July thirty first as the date for the

433
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen twenty season to resume. According to the Athletics

434
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 2: shamp Saranya Silver informed the NBA Board of Governors of

435
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 2: that target date. This obviously still could change, but up

436
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: or down on the chances of this season restarting on

437
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 2: July thirty first.

438
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 3: JD let's start with you. You think this is going

439
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 3: to happen or you too late? Too early?

440
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: Do you think I'm not holding my breath? I think

441
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: I'm down, Yeah, especially after this weekend with all the

442
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: protests and not a lot of social distancing happening. Seven

443
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine new cases in Florida reported yesterday,

444
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: So the numbers aren't going down, and I am I'm

445
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: unsure of how they're going to maintain this quote unquote

446
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: bubble for three months wherever long this season and playoffs last.

447
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: Never mind the teams themselves, their staffs, and they're talking

448
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: about their families as well, but the media staff, the

449
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: hotel staff, the maize, the food service workers, the janitors.

450
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: It really only takes one case to slip through, and

451
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: I that's just a colossal waste of money if they

452
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: have to shut everything down again. So if I'm sitting

453
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: on that board, I'm like, is do we want to

454
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: take the risk of this? It just seems very early,

455
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: and it seems like it's going to happen right when

456
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: this second wave is going to be happening. But I

457
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: don't know, But I'm not filled with confidence.

458
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 6: I guess I definitely don't think we're gonna hear for

459
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 6: sure for still a little bit. You know. I think

460
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 6: we did a podcast on May twelfth where Adam Silver

461
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 6: had said he would be making the decision on when

462
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 6: the league is coming back. If it's coming back, it'll

463
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 6: take two to four weeks. We're now at the week

464
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 6: three mark. A lot can happen in one week, and

465
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 6: we're not really going to know till then. Like Jad

466
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 6: was saying, you know, all fifty states at this point

467
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 6: are open in some way, shape or form. There hasn't

468
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 6: been a ton of social distancing. All those brave people

469
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 6: at the protests that you know they are, they're still

470
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 6: at risk for being exposed to coronavirus. Despite the fact

471
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 6: that so many of the protesters were we're wearing masks

472
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 6: and doing what they could to protect their steff. There's

473
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 6: still a chance of infection out there. So you would

474
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 6: have to imagine that there will be a second wave

475
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 6: at some point. If it comes before the League is

476
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 6: ready to make a decision, obviously that's going to influence

477
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 6: the start date, And if it comes afterwards, maybe they

478
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 6: make the announcement, yeah, we're coming back July thirty first,

479
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 6: But then we find out that the second wave has hit,

480
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 6: you know, in the beginning the third week of June,

481
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 6: then they perhaps have to call it all off again.

482
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 6: I just think, you know, seven days is a long

483
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 6: time when you're dealing with a virus that people still

484
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 6: don't know a whole bunch about.

485
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: Hey, just to be clear, I'm not blaming the protesters

486
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: for a second wave. No, I think there's a second

487
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: wave coming regardless. But you know, oh yeah, exactly exactly right.

488
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 6: And I just think that, you know, I just there's

489
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 6: a lot of exposure that's happening all around the country,

490
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 6: and you know, for me, I would have loved to

491
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 6: have been able to attend the protests here in Atlanta,

492
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 6: but I stayed home to keep my children safe. And

493
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 6: that's a luxury I have as a white person that

494
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 6: keeping my kids safe means they don't get sick. That's

495
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 6: not something that happens for black people. They have seen

496
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 6: their children murdered for playing with a squirt gun or

497
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 6: for carrying a bag of skittles. So I think it's

498
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 6: incredibly brave that they're out there, agreed protesting task.

499
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: What do you think July thirty, First, you know, the

500
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: up or down being you think that's believable and you

501
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: think it happens.

502
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I think it's likely to happen. It's definitely

503
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 4: a fluid situation and no idea when the announcement will come.

504
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 4: And yes, this whole last week definitely changed everything, and

505
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 4: maybe the timeline gets pushed back rather than we're expecting

506
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 4: to hear Thursday Friday, this week June fourth, fifth, it's

507
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 4: likely to get pushed back and to see where we

508
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 4: are as a as a league in terms of testing

509
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 4: in terms of yeah, the coronavirus outbreak and the second wave,

510
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 4: but the league I think feels that like they have

511
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:16,719
Speaker 4: enough tests for a daily testing. Keeping families away seems

512
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 4: like it's part of the plan for at least an

513
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 4: extended period of time.

514
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 5: And then.

515
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 4: The fact that, yeah, there's more cases in Florida, but

516
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 4: Orange County where Orlando is, has been fairly safe and

517
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 4: it has been sort of away from the majority of

518
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 4: the cases which are down in Miami. And uh, yeah,

519
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 4: I mean we can talk about it to what blew

520
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 4: in the face, But I hope, I hope the NBA

521
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 4: just waits as long as possible before making this decision.

522
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 4: And definitely this this past week changed things because it's

523
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 4: as much as we again people saw the protests in

524
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 4: Atlanta that were you know that we're going on and

525
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 4: we're some looting was involved. There are protests in every

526
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 4: major city in the US, not just in the US

527
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 4: but internationally, people protesting for black people to be safe,

528
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 4: which is which is bonkers when it comes out, it

529
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 4: comes out of my mouth, but it's it was all

530
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 4: over the US and many, many, many, many were peaceful,

531
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 4: and so it's it's something that they have to the

532
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 4: league has to monitor. And yeah, the cases don't pop

533
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 4: up for weeks, so that second wave as inevitable as

534
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 4: it was going to come, as JD said it was

535
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 4: going to happen, but maybe it happens faster and maybe

536
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 4: the league just has to wait before making a decision.

537
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 2: The further and further they push back the start date,

538
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 2: the resuming start date, in my opinion, means the more

539
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 2: and more they have to then just cut off right

540
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: and get rid of regular season games, play tournaments like

541
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: because at some point you're going to get so far

542
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: into the calendar year here that you do have to

543
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: think about next season. The potential is starting next season,

544
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: and there has to be a window of some sort

545
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: of an off season for drafts and for you know,

546
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: you know, Summer League ain't happening, but like for these

547
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 2: other things to happen free agency to then go into

548
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: the next year.

549
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm with you guys, like, look, you're not

550
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 3: gonna start a joy.

551
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: You're not gonna lock in July thirty first, if if

552
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 2: it's not safe by any means, but if they're hell

553
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: bent on having these regular season games and hitting these

554
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: quotas that they want to hit for these television sports networks,

555
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: then man, the more you go in too, uh, the

556
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: more weeks you keep pushing it in, you're gonna have

557
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: to just lose some of that.

558
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 3: And then maybe that's fine.

559
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: And it sounds like we a lot of us are like,

560
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: that's cool, just go to the playoffs. But I'm sort

561
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: of I guess I'm oddly confident that a July thirty first,

562
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: which is still freaking two months away from what us

563
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: talking right now, will sort of be what they're gonna

564
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: circle on.

565
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 3: The calendar when we find out later this week. Lead

566
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 3: anything to add to that, yeah, not really.

567
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 7: I mean the optimism in me is like, yes, I

568
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 7: hope too, because we all want to get basketball back,

569
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 7: but the pessimist in me is sort of like, I

570
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 7: just don't think two months is long enough, because again,

571
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 7: we're still come into grips with this virus, and you know,

572
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 7: the worst thing that could happen is is we get

573
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 7: back and then you know, tragedy strikes and people start

574
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 7: contracting the virus and potentially people die from it. And again,

575
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 7: it's just so much unknown about it, but it's so

576
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 7: easily transmittable that if anyone contracts it, then it could

577
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 7: just shut down this you know, remaining schedule, whatever it

578
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 7: is they're trying to do here. So it's a tough

579
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 7: decision that the league has to make. But if they

580
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 7: can at least plan everything to get it all ready

581
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 7: to go, then I can see them sort of pulling

582
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 7: something off and having his plate watch some basketball again.

583
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 7: But it seems two months is a long way away,

584
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 7: and then to have two months of uninterrupted basketball just

585
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 7: seems seems like that would be a tough stretch right

586
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 7: now as well?

587
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 3: All right, next one.

588
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: According to Stephan Bondi of the New York Daily News,

589
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: Tom Thibodeau is reportedly the heavy favorite to become the

590
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 2: next head coach of the New York next.

591
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: Tibbs is so.

592
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 2: Confident of receiving the job that he is making calls

593
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: to assemble a coaching staff. You up or down on

594
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: Tibbs as the next New York Knicks head coach?

595
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 4: Test sure seems like it all right. I would definitely

596
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 4: go up. The guy is assembling his coaching staff. I

597
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 4: think just from a philosophical standpoint, like, what are the

598
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 4: Knicks looking for in a head coach? They had David Fizdale,

599
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 4: a young, up and coming type of coach, and now

600
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 4: it makes sense, I think philosophically, just the way Tibbs

601
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 4: coaches to have a disciplinarian in there. It's something that

602
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 4: everybody looks at the Knicks and says, well, they need

603
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 4: a culture, they needed a locker room, and they thought

604
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 4: Fizzdale could potentially do it. It didn't work out for him,

605
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 4: he was obviously let go too early. But Tibbs is

606
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 4: sort of the opposite, so I can definitely see him

607
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 4: as their choice.

608
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 6: I think it's actually would I'm pro Tom Thibode. Oh,

609
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 6: you guys know what. I think it would be a

610
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 6: good hire for the Knicks because the team would improve.

611
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 6: The Knicks have been over five hundred four times in

612
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 6: the two thousands, and they haven't done it since twenty thirteen. Meanwhile,

613
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 6: Tom Thibodeau has been the winningest coach of the decade

614
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 6: for two different franchises. All the guy wants to do

615
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 6: is coach, and all he wants to do is win.

616
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 6: I don't think he's going to be beefing with the

617
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 6: front office just because it seems like all he wants

618
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 6: to do is study film and then yell at his

619
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 6: players to play forty eight straight minutes. You know, it

620
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 6: likely ends badly with Tom Thibodeau. You know, the players

621
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 6: eventually will schaefe at the way he has treated them

622
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 6: and the way he pushes them, that kind of thing.

623
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 6: But I do think that he can turn them from

624
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 6: the dregs of the NBA to at least perhaps a

625
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 6: mid card team. They could at least start their ascension

626
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 6: to becoming a respectable franchise again.

627
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 3: Could make him into a top twenty two team.

628
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 6: That's exactly right. They could get the invites of the bubble.

629
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

630
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 7: I'm not a big fan of TIBs for the way

631
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 7: the things ended for him in and Minnesota. I mean,

632
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 7: his calling card was defense, and the Timberwolves are a

633
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 7: bad defensive team. And yes, they made the playoffs first

634
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 7: time in a long time, for sure, but they went

635
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 7: out in the first round. And after he left. I mean,

636
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 7: the franchise wasn't in a better place. I don't think

637
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 7: if TIBs can change, and if he could be not

638
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 7: so stubborn and so rigid in his ways, then I

639
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 7: think he may.

640
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 3: Have He says he has, by the way, well that's.

641
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 7: Great, he can say it, but we'll see. Now he's

642
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 7: got a young team there again that you know, again,

643
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 7: we know he's going to be a guy who gets

644
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 7: his who likes his players to play at heavy minutes,

645
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 7: and he likes him to play defense. But again, it

646
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 7: didn't really work in Minnesota. So how he's going to

647
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 7: be able to change and improve that is going to

648
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 7: be the key. But if he does, then perhaps he

649
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 7: can have some success. I mean, the Knicks just don't

650
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 7: have enough talent right now to contend anyway, So it's

651
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 7: going to be more of an approach of just like

652
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 7: trying to get them to learn the game and how

653
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 7: to become a consistent professional team. So if he can

654
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 7: have that impact, then maybe, But I just think long term,

655
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 7: Tibbs has got a shelf life, and after two or

656
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 7: three seasons he's sort of ways of, you know, really

657
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 7: right his players and pushing them hard in practice just

658
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 7: doesn't connect with younger players today. So we'll see if

659
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 7: he gets the job. You know, again, he had success

660
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 7: as an assistant in Boston, and he did have some

661
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 7: success there of course with the Bulls. But I just

662
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 7: sort of feel a guy at his stage of his

663
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 7: career can't change. I just don't think he can. I

664
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 7: think he's sort of got his way of coaching and

665
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 7: that's the way he likes to do it. But he

666
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 7: may also see the writing on the wall that is

667
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 7: like this is his last chance, so he has to

668
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 7: change then adapt. So good luck if he gets the job.

669
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 7: But I'll sit on the bench and say, I don't

670
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 7: think it's going to work out.

671
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 2: Okay, well this is funny. You're only down on this

672
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: because you want to be the next head coach. Talked

673
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 2: about it on Eddie. Oh yeah, well you'll be a

674
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: player coach for sure. Kenny Atkinson apparently still in the mix,

675
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 2: and Mike Miller, No, not that one, the other one

676
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: still in the mix as well. But I'm with you.

677
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 2: I'm up on ultimately tips getting this job. I believe

678
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 2: these reports, and it's sort of felt like it's been

679
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 2: like this for a long time. When Leon Rose obviously

680
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 2: took over and he's got to relationship with Tibbs, I

681
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 2: think he's going to be the guy there, and by god,

682
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 2: we'll be fun to watch how that'll play out.

683
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 3: Eyes, Eyes, I't wait to hear that again.

684
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 6: All right.

685
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 2: Next one, This one's inspired by our good friend Amir Blumenfeld.

686
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've guys have seen it on

687
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 2: Twitter over the last couple of weeks, he shares some

688
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 2: sweet Nintendo Switch videos of him playing Mario Kart. He's

689
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 2: a big donkey Kong guy. He takes all these shortcuts.

690
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 2: It's been a blast to watch. But I'm just curious,

691
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 2: are you up or down on the Nintendo Switch?

692
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 6: Oh? I'm up on the Nintendo Switch. I've played it

693
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 6: for five minutes about six months ago, and I haven't

694
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 6: stopped thinking about it since, especially considering once people started

695
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 6: going into quarantine, you saw animal crossing popping up like crazy.

696
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 6: I'm sitting here raising two actual children, and I'm like,

697
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 6: I got to build an island. I gotta get some

698
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 6: turn ups. So I don't exactly know what's going on

699
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 6: with Animal Crossing, but it looks exciting. And you know,

700
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 6: now that we have heard that at the very least

701
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 6: the NBA's projected start bay is still two months away.

702
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 6: I don't feel like it's a bad investment to get

703
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 6: a Nintendo Switch now, because I still got two months

704
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 6: to figure out what I'm doing before the season comes back.

705
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 3: Oh okay, So so you might buy one of these things?

706
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 6: Well if I can't, I mean apparently they pop up

707
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 6: for sale and then they're gone within six to twelve

708
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 6: minutes every single time.

709
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: Switch like a kiddie pool. You can't get your hands

710
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 2: on one. That's right, Okay, JD do you do you

711
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 2: have a Nintendo Switch?

712
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: Yes, of course I have a right right, yeah, Yeah,

713
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm way up on this switch. Zelda, Breath of the

714
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: Wind is worth buying the game the console alone. Wow.

715
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're saying that's the number one, that's the one

716
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 6: you should start off with.

717
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: Well that's the Yeah. For me, it's I mean, I

718
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: got sort of bogged down. You know. It's one of

719
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 1: those when it's open world sort of and you gotta

720
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: cook stuff and all that. But you can get bogged

721
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: down in that. But the actual gameplay is amazing. It's

722
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: one of the best video games I've ever played. But

723
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 1: then my wife discovered that they released Tetris on it,

724
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: and none of us in the house could get our

725
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: hands on then Nintendo because she was just playing Tetris

726
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: NonStop and Mario Karts. It's like the classic Mario Karts. Yeah,

727
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: and it is awesome, Like what a fun way to

728
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: spend time with the family, just yelling at each other

729
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: and trash talking, and it's just great. And I always

730
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm always warrior.

731
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 6: I love the family friendly nature of the switch. And

732
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 6: it's also so such a throwback that when you're talking

733
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 6: about the best games on literally any Nintendo system, you're like,

734
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 6: Zelda's gonna be awesome, Yeah, Mario Kart's gonna be awesome,

735
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 6: and they'll have a Super Mario that you're gonna love

736
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 6: to play as well. So you know, maybe you haven't

737
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 6: played video games for thirty years, you're like, oh, yeah,

738
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 6: I remember, these still got it.

739
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 3: But how many Nintendo Switches do you have?

740
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 5: Then?

741
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 6: GD just the.

742
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: One, but we we have the one and then you

743
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: can get it cooks up to the TV and it

744
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: comes with two remotes, but you can get two. We

745
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: bought two more remotes.

746
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 3: So you are you are all racing each other.

747
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and they're all the only thing. The only

748
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: negative I would say is that the the the remotes

749
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: are tiny. They're they're like, I would say, a quarter

750
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: of the size of the original, So like to get

751
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: your thumbs on it and stuff, you get used to it.

752
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I'm all in on Nintendo Switch.

753
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've got an eight year old who keeps pestering

754
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 7: you to get one, and I am. The truth is,

755
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 7: I'm worried that I will actually take over it if

756
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 7: I get it. So I'm like, just just play with

757
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 7: your iPad for now, man, because I just don't want

758
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 7: to then be into this Mario Cup. But now, just

759
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 7: now what you're telling me, JD. I'm like, you know what,

760
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 7: if we can all play it, then maybe I'm back in.

761
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 7: Maybe I'm back in. I'm going to be on Amazon

762
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 7: this afternoon to see because they're not cheap, are they

763
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 7: They're like four or five hundred bucks what I think?

764
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 6: So no, I think you're getting a bundle and that yeah,

765
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 6: you're getting the game, You're getting some controllers.

766
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 7: All right, all right, yeah, I thought there were like one.

767
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 3: Hundred and fifty bucks.

768
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 5: There's three. I think they're three.

769
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 4: There's there's the light version, which doesn't hook up to

770
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 4: the TV. That's about a two spot I think, and

771
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 4: then the original, the full Daddy that you need you

772
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 4: got it. I think it's around three hundred bucks because

773
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 4: I tried both. Actually, I was in a Target months ago,

774
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 4: and I think it was it was around the holidays,

775
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 4: and I thought, whoa holiday spirit, feels like I'm a

776
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 4: child again. Let's rocket and I think I played some tennis.

777
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 4: Luigi and I were playing some tennis and felt good.

778
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 4: I mean, the controller is definitely weird that it's it's tiny.

779
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 4: And then I was I almost pulled the trigger, but

780
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 4: I didn't do it. I just I do it annually.

781
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 4: I think about playing a video game system. And then

782
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 4: I texted with a mirror actually when he got his,

783
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 4: because he just got his recently.

784
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 3: Yeah not too long ago.

785
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, he ordered it online and he loves it. He

786
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 5: loves it. Yeah.

787
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 2: I actually I love watching his videos. I just love

788
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 2: watching people play Mario Kart. That's so I'm up on

789
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 2: this big time. But I didn't know they were that

790
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 2: expensive in my head, I guess I was just thinking

791
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,959
Speaker 2: of it. I forget that you can do the whole

792
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 2: hooking it up to your TV. I'm thinking it more

793
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 2: as like a game boy, right like yeah, or it's

794
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 2: just in my hands, which I actually like.

795
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 6: Which is I think that's the light one, right, Tassy?

796
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 4: Well, the light one is just a handheld okay, but

797
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 4: the regular version does both.

798
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the dock is super seamless, like you literally

799
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: just take it, you pop it onto the dock and

800
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: then it appears on your TV. It's it's pretty.

801
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 3: Cool, okay.

802
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 2: All right, Well, it sounds like most of us are

803
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 2: up on it. Why don't we all get Nintendo Switches?

804
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 2: And I'm sure we could just play each other online.

805
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 6: Oh, switch twitters sounds good?

806
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 7: All right?

807
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,280
Speaker 5: Hold on, JD. Just quick question about Zelda.

808
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because I love.

809
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 4: The original Zelda, probably my second favorite video game of

810
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 4: all time.

811
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,479
Speaker 5: But that's a solo game.

812
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 4: It is a solo yeah, and this continues to be

813
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 4: a solo But you're not it does You're not cooking

814
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 4: food with your wife and kids.

815
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: No, it's it's a very much as solitary endeavor, which

816
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: is also sometimes nice.

817
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 3: Right, true and JD have did you get into the

818
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 3: Animal Crossing?

819
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 6: No?

820
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: You know?

821
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 3: Fat here now, so do you even know what?

822
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 2: Does anybody know really what it is because we've obviously

823
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 2: heard of it, But did anyone explain what you do

824
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 2: in the game?

825
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: I think you build yourself an island and people come

826
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: visit you. That's it.

827
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 3: So it's like SIMS basically.

828
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: That's the vibe that I got. Yeah, okay, yeah, it's

829
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: it's I'm too old for that one, I feel like.

830
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: But then again, I might just get into it.

831
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 2: I think I think it's one of those games that

832
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 2: if any of us picked up Animal Crossing, I have

833
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 2: a feeling it just like it just hooks you.

834
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: You know, they're so good at designing these games that

835
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: it's it's like a slot machine, you know, Like it's

836
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,359
Speaker 1: just it just feels good to play them, to pull

837
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: that handle and to just you know, create that whatever,

838
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: and then it's just it just gets into your brain

839
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: and it's addictive. So yeah, I think I'm on the

840
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: site now. I think I'm about to pull trigger on this.

841
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 3: Oh boy, oh boy. I love it. I love it.

842
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 2: The only game I'm playing right now is UH And

843
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: I mentioned it a couple of weeks ago WGT World

844
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: Golf Tour. It's an online game, and fire it up

845
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 2: with my buddy Grish, my buddy Dub Turbo, and we

846
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 2: just uh put a little money on, put a little

847
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 2: money on the back nine every once in a while. Okay, yeah,

848
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 2: you guys want to play nine, let's do it. And

849
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 2: then the other night got really crazy. Grish and I

850
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 2: started playing a Skins game, putting five bucks on each hole.

851
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: Steaks were super high. But we make fun of Grish

852
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 2: all the time now because it's one of these classic

853
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: like like most online games, like you, if you want

854
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 2: to get like the really good gear, you got to

855
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 2: put real money into the game, right, You got to

856
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 2: to get these you know, coins or whatever. And we're like,

857
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 2: no one's doing that or like whatever. We'll build our

858
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 2: own way up by getting a better club or stuff

859
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 2: like that, by playing in tournaments and blah blah blah.

860
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 2: Of course, Gresh, after losing a couple of games one

861
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 2: night was he show shows up to the links the

862
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 2: next day with like the greatest equipment you've ever seen.

863
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 2: He drives us by like thirty yards off the tee

864
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 2: because he spent like fifty bucks.

865
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 3: One night, like, God, what are you doing? You're gonna

866
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 3: ruin it? And we still beat him. Doesn't matter.

867
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: He's got no short game, guys, hits the long ball,

868
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 2: got no chip game, horrible with the putter. But anyway,

Speaker 2: Our next one and last week, the New York Daily

918
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 2: News reported that the Brooklyn Nets have had internal discussions

919
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 2: about pursuing Bradley Beal, hoping to pair him with Kadi

920
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 2: and Kyrie Beale, who signed a two year, seventy two

921
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 2: million dollar extension October. Well he was flattered. Quote It's

922
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 2: not the first time I've heard this kind of talk,

923
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 2: Bill told ESPN. It's interesting to me. I look at

924
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 2: it as a sign of respect that I've been doing

925
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 2: good things and guys want to play with me. Are

926

Speaker 2: you up or down? On the Bradley Beal trade rumors task,

927
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 2: what do you think.

928
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 4: Well, I'm up, not specifically on this river, but that

929
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 4: Bradley Beal isn't necessarily a Washington Wizard for life. Just

930
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 4: when he signed that quote unquote extension at the beginning

931
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 4: of this year nineteen twenty back when we started playing

932
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 4: a basketball season, way back when feels like forever ago.

933
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 4: It was a one year guaranteed plus one player option,

934
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 4: and that's it. It was a two year extension, but

935
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 4: really it's a one year extension, and so he couldn't

936
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 4: be traded this coming season, and he wants, I do believe,

937
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 4: to play with John wall again when he comes back

938
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 4: next year. John Walldon not coming back for this little

939
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 4: playoff run here if they do get to go to

940
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 4: Orlando and play, and I think he's going to like that,

941
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 4: trying to be the number one guy. But as he

942
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 4: told Jackie McMullen, quote, that's an unbelievable feeling when you

943
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 4: hear that Kyrie and Kad want you. That's amazing.

944
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 5: And so.

945
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 4: I just I don't think he's going to say to

946
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 4: the City of Washington, I'm doing this until I'm thirty eight.

947
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 4: I think he is going to give it a shot

948
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 4: in Washington, but he can be traded next season and

949
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 4: after the John Wall situation either fails or doesn't go,

950
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 4: you know, to plan, you know, them being in a

951
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 4: playoff run. I think he could leave Washington, but I

952
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 4: have no idea about this nets rum or. I wasn't

953
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 4: in the mood to go trade machining for Bradley Beal

954
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 4: at this time, but I don't think he's necessarily a

955
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 4: wizard for life.

956
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I one hundred percent agree and read it the

957
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 6: exact same way task where he said he definitely wants

958
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 6: to give it a shot with John Wall, and you

959
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 6: see how they're games fit next to each other. Now

960
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 6: that Beale has become an All Star and has really

961
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 6: elevated his game as a lead guy, but also he

962
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 6: is so flattered that other superstars are interested in playing

963
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 6: with him. Just doesn't seem like a guy who's going

964
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 6: to finish out his career in Washington. But also amazing

965
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 6: that Bradley Beal during a season when he cannot be traded,

966
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 6: during a shutdown that has now lasted for nearly three months,

967
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 6: still in trade rumors. This guy's going to be in

968
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 6: trade rumors. For the entirety of his career. It feels like,

969
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 6: or at least until he's gone from Washington. The only

970
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 6: question really at this point I would say, is he

971
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 6: is he going to be gone before John Wall is?

972
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 6: I suppose it's likely because of the length of his deal,

973
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 6: and you know, their to their injury histories, which is

974
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 6: kind of strange to think about, considering Bradley Beal was

975
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 6: hurt a lot of the beginning of his career and

976
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 6: people were wondering if he was going to be able to,

977
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 6: you know, get his health right and be able to

978
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 6: stay on the court. He has been able to, and

979
00:48:58,160 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 6: it's kind of flipped to being John wall who is

980
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 6: absent now with that monster deal. So you know, the

981
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 6: two of them have had a lot of promise. It

982
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 6: will be exciting to finally see them play together, to

983
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 6: see what Wall has become after a couple of different

984
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 6: major surgeries, and now that Beale has become a lead guy,

985
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 6: how are they going to fit together. They deserve a

986
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 6: chance to at least give it a shot, So we'll

987
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 6: see how long it lasts. But it definitely feels like

988
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 6: Bradley Beal's going to be traded at some point in

989
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 6: his Wizard's tenure, because we can't stop talking about maybe

990
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 6: Bradley Beal being traded, right, So Bradley Beal's going to

991
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 6: become our era as Ray Allen to something. Sure, they

992
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 6: go like, you know, a star player, an incredible player,

993
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 6: and then wow, of course a team like the Brooklyn

994
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 6: Nets or how many other teams would want a guy

995
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 6: like that to add as a second or third piece

996
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 6: as in that sort of reel en role.

997
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,280
Speaker 3: I know that was a little bit later in his career,

998
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 3: but yeah, I'm with you, guys.

999
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 2: I do think he's gonna wait around, of course, to

1000
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 2: play with John wall I mean he's on the record

1001
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 2: saying that too, and I believe him, I really do,

1002
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 2: but probably not there for the for the long half.

1003
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, you guys know, I'm a big fan

1004
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 7: of his. But of course it's not really gone quite

1005
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 7: the way they wanted it in Washington when these two

1006
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 7: came together, they had a lot of promise. But for

1007
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 7: whatever reason, that hasn't really worked out. And if you're

1008
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 7: Bradley Beal this season, you know he took on a

1009
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 7: huge role, almost like a James Harden type role there

1010
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 7: in Washington with the numbers he was putting up, but

1011
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 7: they are nowhere near the playoffs, So you know, I

1012
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 7: think he wants to sacrifice a little bit of his

1013
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,440
Speaker 7: own offensive game to get into a position where he's

1014
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 7: actually competing for a championship. Because the Wizards have made

1015
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 7: the playoffs a couple of times but never really threatened

1016
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 7: or been a serious challenger for the championship. So he's

1017
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 7: been there for a long time. And yeah, I don't

1018
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 7: see him playing out his career in Washington, I think.

1019
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 7: And if you're the Wizards, you can cash in on him,

1020
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,399
Speaker 7: probably more so than you can John Wall right now,

1021
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 7: for a couple of reasons.

1022
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 5: You know Walls.

1023
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 7: You know, Wall's obviously his injuries and his Monster contract,

1024
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 7: whereas Bradley Beal is going to be in demand. I mean,

1025
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,479
Speaker 7: we know the Lakers were reportedly interested in him as well,

1026
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 7: so there is going to be more more interesting Beale.

1027
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 7: So if you're a Wizard, you can probably look at

1028
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 7: this as a little bit of a turning point where

1029
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 7: it's like, well, cash in on that player while you

1030
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 7: can and hopefully get some quality assets in return and

1031
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,720
Speaker 7: sort of stop that rebuild process again.

1032
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 4: It would be a great story if they could somehow

1033
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 4: come back and jump up to the Eastern Conference Finals

1034
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 4: or something like that. But they have had plenty of

1035
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 4: shots together. They've been together for a long time. They

1036
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 4: got to the second round three times. There was that

1037
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 4: Game seven against the Boston Celtics in twenty seventeen where

1038
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 4: it sure looked like they were going to topple the Celtics,

1039
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 4: and the Celtics beat them. And sometimes that's that's just

1040
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 4: as high as they're going to climb. And for a guy,

1041
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 4: I question this too. Why is he picking up the

1042
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 4: phone and talking to anybody right now? Why is he

1043
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 4: given a quote like this is Isn't that strange and boredom?

1044
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 3: Okay, well telling me might as well talk to her.

1045
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's the respect for jack McMullin. Sure,

1046
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 4: I get that. Yeah, I'll talk to Jackie. Just kind

1047
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 4: of weird, no.

1048
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: I hear you.

1049
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 2: I look, we talked about this with the Wizards before,

1050
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 2: and like, are the similarities to the Raptors of there?

1051
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 2: Right with the lowry DeRozan pairing, and it's like, hey,

1052
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 2: good team, great team, but not ever really going to

1053
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: challenge for a title, and you might need to blow

1054
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 2: it up and move in a different direction to go

1055
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 2: to another level. Now raps sure as hell lucked out,

1056
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 2: I would say, into the Kawhi Leonard situation and a

1057
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 2: hell of a move by messire Jeri and blowing it

1058
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 2: up so to speak, and trading a fan favorite in

1059
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 2: DeRozan for Kawhi to get the title who then ultimately leaves.

1060
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 2: I mean a hell of a call. But will the

1061
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 2: Wizards have that opportunity? And that's the thing, like when

1062
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,359
Speaker 2: do you make that move? If we're all basically saying

1063
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 2: the same thing here of like, yeah, they've had their chances,

1064
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 2: they were good. No one ever really thought they were

1065
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 2: a title contender. That's fine.

1066
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 3: So maybe and now you look to move one of them,

1067
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 3: and which one is it? Like when? Now? When do

1068
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,479
Speaker 3: you do it? Or do you give them a chance

1069
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 3: after the.

1070
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,879
Speaker 2: John Wall injury drastic injury, to come back and put

1071
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 2: them back together and.

1072
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 3: Maybe in in you know them maturing.

1073
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 2: As as men and basketball players, that it works better

1074
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 2: and they've got a little and you got some pieces

1075
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 2: of some young pieces around that could can help them

1076
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 2: get to another level.

1077
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1078
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 2: I think that's what they're gonna do. They're gonna give

1079
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 2: it a go and then my gut says, all right, well,

1080
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 2: now we're looking to move one or both of these

1081
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 2: guys if possible, but not easy contracts to move in

1082
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 2: either case, our next one. According to Brian Windhorse, Jason

1083
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 2: Tatum will likely receive a max contract offer from the

1084
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics after this season.

1085
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 3: Quote.

1086
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 2: If Tatum is a superstar that they envisioned when they

1087
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 2: began this whole rebuilding process when they traded Kevin Garnett

1088
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 2: and Paul Pierce for all those draft picks hoping to

1089
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 2: land a player like this, we could see glory days

1090
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 2: for the Celtics again. But it's very much in the air,

1091
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna tell y'all they're gonna have to pay

1092
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 2: them like it, because after this season ends, he is

1093
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 2: going to get, most likely a max contract. They're going

1094
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 2: to bet that he becomes that player.

1095
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 3: Are you up or down?

1096
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 2: What Windhorse to say in here that Tatum is very

1097
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 2: likely to receive a max contract.

1098
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 7: I'm up And I can't believe if you're the Celtics

1099
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 7: you would hesitate for a second. I think Jyson Titum

1100
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 7: was having a fantastic season, became an All Star, but

1101
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 7: really just showed his development as an offensive player. I

1102
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 7: thought his shot selection improved incredibly this season. He took

1103
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 7: on that role for Boston of being the sort of

1104
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 7: guy to be the closer to a couple of times

1105
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 7: and really just improved statistically and more so in the

1106
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 7: eye test. And I think he this is a no

1107
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 7: brainer whatsoever. About Now They've got Kember on big money,

1108
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 7: Jaln Brown is probably going to get a big contract

1109
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 7: as well, so there's going to be.

1110
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 3: A little bit of an issues.

1111
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 7: He did so he did, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1112
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 7: that's right. So they're going to have a little bit

1113
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 7: of a cap crunch at some point. But when it

1114
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 7: comes to a player, let Jason Tatum, you sign him,

1115
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,280
Speaker 7: you keep him, and then figure out the rest afterwards.

1116
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 7: Because I think he is the best player on the

1117
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 7: Celtics team right now and he showed it this season.

1118
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm down just because it says lately they should

1119
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 6: give this guy a max contract the very first second

1120
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 6: that they have a chance to do it. And I'm

1121
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 6: sure that's what's going to actually happen because he was

1122
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,400
Speaker 6: an All Star this year, and he was good pre

1123
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 6: All Star, you know, twenty two points a game, seven rebounds,

1124
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 6: three assists. That's good, that's all star numbers. But he

1125
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 6: was even better afterwards. He was a top ten player

1126
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 6: in the league for you know, basically a month and

1127
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 6: a half, thirty points a game, eight rebounds, three assists,

1128
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 6: a go to guy who was giving an effort defensively,

1129
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 6: and you know, him and Jalen Brown are just such

1130
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 6: a nice mix of wings. To have versatile wings who

1131
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 6: can play multiple positions, who can play on the ball

1132
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 6: and off the ball, and are both at the very

1133
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,439
Speaker 6: least not zero defenders, right, not negative defenders. They're guys

1134
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 6: who can give it to you on both ends of

1135
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 6: the court. So if you're able to lock both of

1136
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 6: them up at you know, twenty two years old and

1137
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 6: then have them throughout the primes of their career, that

1138
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,959
Speaker 6: is the basis of having a championship team.

1139
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 4: Nothing to add I don't know why the heck you

1140
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 4: wouldn't sign him to in max extent. This is Jason

1141
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:52,800
Speaker 4: Tatum and he is fulfilling a lot of that promise already.

1142
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,800
Speaker 5: It's it's definitely a no brainer.

1143
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 4: It's like you look at him and you think the

1144
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,760
Speaker 4: way you physically he got bigger, the way he played

1145
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 4: this season, do you think that he's going to regress

1146
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 4: in any way. It's it's hard to see him doing

1147
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 4: anything but growing. Jason Tatum is living that, living to

1148
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 4: that potential. And yeah, he's already worth MAX money now

1149
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 4: and he's only going to get better.

1150
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 2: How many MAX guys from the twenty seventeen draft will

1151
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,120
Speaker 2: we get then, because I agree with you guys, Tatum

1152
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:29,760
Speaker 2: will be one, Donovan Mitchell probably Bam right out of BIO.

1153
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 2: I would think, Darren Fox. Yeah, And then it's like,

1154
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 2: does John Collins get the Max? We've debated that before.

1155
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 2: Alonzo Ball unlinkedly I think is a MAX player at

1156
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,399
Speaker 2: this point. Yeah, so maybe so it looks like four,

1157
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 2: maybe five If John Collins, you know, you can debate

1158
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,399
Speaker 2: whether you think he's maxworthy, but you know the market

1159
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 2: would decide that. So yeah, probably probably five in the end,

1160
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,760
Speaker 2: I guess next one. After nearly two decades of effort,

1161
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 2: Elon Musk's aerospace companies, SpaceX successfully launched its first two

1162
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 2: people into orbit over the weekend. The two astronauts, Bob

1163
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:13,280
Speaker 2: and Doug, rode into space inside SpaceX's new automated spacecraft,

1164
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,479
Speaker 2: called the Crew Dragon about n eighteen, twenty hours after launch,

1165
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 2: the capsule caught up with the International Space Station and

1166
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 2: gladened in for a problem free darking. I don't know

1167
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 2: how many of you guys watched this, but we were gonna

1168
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 2: start with you are you up or down on this

1169
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 2: SpaceX mission?

1170
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:30,920
Speaker 7: Ah, massively up.

1171
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:31,439
Speaker 3: This was fun.

1172
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 7: I watched this on Saturday. It was so cool to

1173
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 7: see it happen, especially with kids, because spaceships and rocket

1174
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 7: ships and things like that are huge in our family,

1175
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 7: does it so to see one actually live happen was incredible.

1176
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 7: That the boys loved that, and it was so smooth.

1177
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 7: Everything just seemed to go so perfectly and you know,

1178
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 7: rose up into the air and then you saw that

1179
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 7: like you know, the booster jet or whatever it was

1180
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 7: sort of detach and land perfectly on the boat. It

1181
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 7: was like, oh my god, everything is just going so

1182
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 7: well here. And then when they I know, I know,

1183
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 7: and then and then when they got to the space

1184
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 7: station yesterday again that transition was just all so beautiful

1185
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,000
Speaker 7: and smooth. It was great, and it was just it

1186
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 7: was really good to see, Like it was a cool

1187
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 7: rocket too, because I kept thinking of, like, you know,

1188
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 7: the Space Shuttle that we saw when weeel kids growing

1189
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 7: up and this was way cooler than that, Like this

1190
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 7: thing was just cruising along and say, yeah, I thought

1191
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 7: it was really fun and more interesting than I thought

1192
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 7: it was going to be too when I you know,

1193
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 7: I knew it was happening because I think they were

1194
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 7: supposed to launch the other day but the weather stopped it.

1195
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,680
Speaker 7: And then even on the morning of Saturday, apparently the

1196
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 7: weather forecast wasn't great. But when they get to that

1197
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 7: fifteen minute below timeline, that's apparently when you know they're going,

1198
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 7: they're going to go ahead. There's no pullout. So yeah,

1199
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 7: I thought it was cool.

1200
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 3: And just seeing those astronauts.

1201
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 7: I'm always wondering, like, you know, when you go on

1202
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:49,919
Speaker 7: an aeroplane, right, no matter where you're going, no matter

1203
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:51,919
Speaker 7: what time of the day, it's hard to not fall

1204
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 7: asleep in that first sort of you know, elevation, isn't it.

1205
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 7: It's hard. It's very hard, you know, you just just

1206
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 7: sort of fall asleep. So I wonder if a needs

1207
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 7: a pilots which it's seat of like, oh.

1208
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 6: My god, you know.

1209
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 3: That's you know, it was like I think it was

1210
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 3: what time.

1211
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 7: I think it was three o'clock in the afternoon when

1212
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 7: they lift up.

1213
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 3: My classic naptime.

1214
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would have been just a nightmare on that. That

1215
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 7: would have been saying how things going up there, and

1216
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 7: you would have just heard.

1217
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 3: And then you would to go back. I forgot to

1218
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 3: get the USC today classrooms.

1219
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 6: We gotta go back.

1220
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 7: No, did you see all those computer screens that you

1221
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 7: would have been able to get a digital version of

1222
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 7: it without any No, it's not the same.

1223
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 6: It's nothing but what the Dougie is like, we'll start

1224
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 6: the crossword, but weft exactly.

1225
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was hoping you just sort of like pulled

1226
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 7: it out from the side, you know, Dougie, look at

1227
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 7: I got here?

1228
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 3: Oh all right, you started off, then let me know

1229
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 3: when you're done. Anybody else watched this?

1230
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 1: I watched it. It was a welcome reprieve for everything

1231
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: else that was happening over the weekend. And yeah, I

1232
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: mean Lee made not be wrong because those guys didn't

1233
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: have to do anything. They literally all they the only

1234
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: control they had was was bailing out, right, Like was

1235
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,919
Speaker 1: just pulling the emergency escape thing. So it was all

1236
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: self driven and it was just like a ride up

1237
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: to space and it was awesome. And I'm way up

1238
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: on this because it's one step closer to me going

1239
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 1: to space. It's the first five of a company going

1240
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: to space is it's making space travel much more affordable.

1241
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: It cost a billion dollars to fly the Shuttle every time.

1242
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: I did not know that. I learned that over the weekend.

1243
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: So this is a fraction of the cost. It's reusable rocket.

1244
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: It was very cool to see that thing land on

1245
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: the boat afterwards. And I was a little on the

1246
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: fence about going to space because it's scary, quite honestly.

1247
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 1: But I heard Chris Hadfield talking about how great it

1248
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: is to sleep in zero gravity. So now I'm all,

1249
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm all in on that because I haven't had a

1250
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: good night sleep since my kids were born. I was

1251
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: almost fourteen years ago, and I just to be floating

1252
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: in space sleeping, can you imagine.

1253
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe that's the difference. When you're on an airplane,

1254
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 6: you fall asleep during the lift off, then when you're flying,

1255
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 6: you wake up and do a crossword. When you're on

1256
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 6: the Space Shuttle, you're awake during the launch because it's

1257
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 6: very loud and you're rumbling and there's g forces. But

1258
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 6: then as soon as you hit that zero gravity. Yeah,

1259
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 6: you're speaking of snoring. My one criticism of the SpaceX

1260
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 6: mission boring space suits.

1261
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 3: You better spaces than that. Yeah, big time, Come on, we've.

1262
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 6: Seen in what sense?

1263
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 5: Though?

1264
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 7: I thought they looked pretty slick to be honest, I mean,

1265
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 7: there's not much you can do with the space suit.

1266
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 7: You know, it's going to be like Taylor made and uh,

1267
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 7: you know, custom fit and all that. I mean, what

1268
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 7: do you what do you want.

1269
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 6: To add to that? I mean, I want it to

1270
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 6: be orange. That's the NASA suit, but I understand they

1271
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 6: can't necessarily take that. But they're just just a little

1272
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 6: too plain. Elon Musk's cyber truck or whatever he calls that,

1273
01:01:57,800 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 6: that thing look extreme. I want to see some extreme

1274
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 6: uh space suits, especially from a private company.

1275
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, if this was a movie, I would be like

1276
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: fire the costume designer because they look ridiculous. They they

1277
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: look like they're two piece. And what's with the black

1278
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: Wellington boots? I mean, is it gonna be Are they

1279
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:19,440
Speaker 1: gonna run into some water up there? I mean I

1280
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: didn't like.

1281
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 7: Wow, Wellington boots are so durable, though, you just never

1282
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 7: know what are you gonna run into? And you know

1283
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 7: they're not gonna let you down.

1284
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,479
Speaker 1: I love me some wellies, but I think they should match.

1285
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm with Trey. They should be they should be orange,

1286
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: and I think that they should be a jumper like

1287
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: one piece.

1288
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 7: I don't know, I don't know. I was just maybe

1289
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 7: caught up in the moment. I just thought it all

1290
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 7: looked pretty cool there, and I thought, yeah, I mean,

1291
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 7: if you're pretty cool, if you can just rock that

1292
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 7: suit round, you know, to someone's Halloween party next year, like,

1293
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 7: I mean, you're gonna you're gonna be the hit of

1294
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 7: the party for sure.

1295
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 2: I like the production of the whole thing, I thought

1296
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 2: was pretty amazing. I did watch a lot. I think

1297
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 2: it was Thursday, right, the first attempt at launch. Yeah, right,

1298
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 2: that was delayed due to the weather. I watched a

1299
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 2: ton of that leading up to it, and man, do

1300
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 2: they strap those poor guys in there way too early?

1301
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 5: Man Like.

1302
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,400
Speaker 2: I kept thinking of Task watching it because I like

1303
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 2: how Task just arrived right before a flight, you know,

1304
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 2: unlike some of us get their hours upon hours too early.

1305
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 2: And maybe you're into your seat too early. Those guys

1306
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 2: just sitting there for hours. I really should have a

1307
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:28,360
Speaker 2: crossword to do something. But yeah, the overall production, again,

1308
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 2: I thought it was pretty amazing, like you were. I

1309
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 2: was learning tons, like you said, JD. And it's like

1310
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 2: they're like, you know, bringing a bunch of different voices in.

1311
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 2: It was like a hell of a production, especially for

1312
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 2: one that was ultimately canceled.

1313
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 3: They're like, oh damn, that sucks.

1314
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: I will say that during the lunch on Saturday. The

1315
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: one criticism of the production I would have is that

1316
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: during the entire launch I watched it on the CBS

1317
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 1: app and there was it was in a two box,

1318
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: and then the other box was fucking Trump and Pence

1319
01:03:54,800 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: standing there were watching the lunch and it was just like,

1320
01:03:58,160 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't need to no matter who it is, I

1321
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: don't need to see anybody in there, but especially not

1322
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: those guys. God fair, fair.

1323
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 3: I didn't.

1324
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 2: I didn't see most of the weekend, so I was

1325
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 2: at a busy weekend go on here, so I'd forgotten

1326
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 2: about that.

1327
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 3: I was actually upset.

1328
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 2: I think Trey, you wrote the the the WhatsApp group

1329
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 2: chat or whatever like that was awesome.

1330
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:21,040
Speaker 3: I was like, God damn it.

1331
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 2: Or I think you said like two minutes to launch,

1332
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 2: and I was like out knowing, oh crap, I'm gonna

1333
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 2: miss it.

1334
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 6: But I do it.

1335
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 2: What's really cool. You can go to YouTube like NASA's

1336
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 2: and SpaceX's like YouTube pages and like watch all this

1337
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 2: stuff and they have like live cameras on like the

1338
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 2: ISS and stuff like it is. It's really cool. And

1339
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 2: I'm not even the biggest like you know, space geek,

1340
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 2: but I even I really truly find it fascinating.

1341
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 3: Task Did you catch any of it?

1342
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 5: No, not at all.

1343
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 4: I didn't see a second of it. I saw the

1344
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 4: the rocket explode on Saturday morning. I think it was

1345
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 4: SpaceX's rocket explode in so that kind of put me off,

1346
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 4: and I just wasn't thinking about it whatsoever until I

1347
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 4: did see it in the whitsapp group and then I thought, yeah,

1348
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 4: I'll catch the highlights.

1349
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 5: Man.

1350
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,240
Speaker 2: That's one of the highlights is when they actually dock

1351
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 2: the ISS and see the other three guys and they

1352
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 2: have some great awkward hugs.

1353
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, they're floaty hugs. It's like, what do you do.

1354
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 2: It's like, we gotta just straight up and brace, we

1355
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 2: gotta hold onto each other here. But then the other

1356
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 2: guy tried to just do the handshake hug and pull

1357
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 2: it in. I don't know, I gotta get a big

1358
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 2: kick out of them trying to hug in space.

1359
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so go check that highlight out.

1360
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 6: I like the idea of highlight tape going around on Twitter.

1361
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 2: Bob and Doug were a problem final one here.

1362
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 3: We'll keep it light, very fluffy, up or down on

1363
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 3: lemon cake.

1364
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 6: I would even pose it perhaps that the lemon cake

1365
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 6: is in the case of the summer. You know, it's

1366
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:06,120
Speaker 6: just so light, it's so tangy. Usually you get like

1367
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 6: a light colored icing that's got a little bit of

1368
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 6: that lemon flavor in it as well. It's not as

1369
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:15,040
Speaker 6: heavy as a chocolate cake. It's not as plain, I

1370
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 6: suppose as a vanilla cake. But yeah, for me, if

1371
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 6: you show up somewhere and they have a lemon cake

1372
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 6: and it's eighty degrees outside, that's living.

1373
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

1374
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1375
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 7: I had one for my birthday last week. Roxana Mative

1376
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 7: for us and it was fantastic. The only real problem

1377
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 7: was trying to get my extra pieces out of it.

1378
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 7: Being the birthday boy, I had to share it with

1379
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 7: my two kids and my wife, so wasn't thrilled with

1380
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 7: that part of it. But overall it is it's a

1381
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 7: very refreshing cake. You know, it just feels like a

1382
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 7: summer cake, so big ups from it for me.

1383
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 3: And you actually don't what I like about a lemon cake.

1384
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 3: I'm up to. You don't need a lot of it

1385
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 3: to feel satisfied those because those bites pack a punch.

1386
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 3: They got that tang. You're right, so I like that.

1387
01:06:58,160 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 3: You just give me a small sliver.

1388
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 2: I'm good, But chocolate cake, I want a big old thing,

1389
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 2: you know, this perfect tiny little sliver.

1390
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 3: I'm good. I'm pleasantly full task.

1391
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 4: I love all cakes. I would I would try a

1392
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,919
Speaker 4: disgusting brick of a cake. That being said, you guys

1393
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 4: are throwing parameters on a cake. You're saying it has

1394
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 4: to be a summer kicks. It's not one of the

1395
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 4: elite cakes. It's not even close. It's towards the bottom.

1396
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 4: It tastes like a lemon. Who wants to have a

1397
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 4: lemon cake?

1398
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: I do?

1399
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, life hands your lemons. Make lemon cake.

1400
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 4: Make a lemon cake. So you're down on it, yeah,

1401
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 4: I mean, of course I'd eat it. If there's a

1402
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 4: cake option, cake only option. If it's just lemon, I'm

1403
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:45,920
Speaker 4: gonna eat it and I'm gonna enjoy it. But there

1404
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 4: are other ever, ever, every other cake I think is

1405
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 4: a better cake than a lemon.

1406
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 5: Honestly.

1407
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it could be light and fluffy. It

1408
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 4: could also be a pounder. It could be a heavy

1409
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 4: pound cake. It's lemon flavored, it could have poppy seeds

1410
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 4: stuck up, stuck in all your teeth. No, thank you,

1411
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 4: but you know it's all I'm sure lisaid it was

1412
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 4: late and refreshing. I'm sure it was. You know, it's

1413
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 4: all in how it's made. But I'm not. I'm not

1414
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 4: a lemony flavored type person. When it's December, December twentieth,

1415
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 4: you want a lemon cake?

1416
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 7: Nah?

1417
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 4: Right, you need it May in June and July is

1418
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 4: the only time to eat it.

1419
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's summer. It's great.

1420
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 7: It's like the pins and lemonade. But when you can

1421
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 7: in the air, the aroma's in the air, when the

1422
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 7: lemon cake is cooking, I'm telling you it's even better

1423
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,799
Speaker 7: than a chocolate cake because it's just it's beautiful. It's

1424
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 7: so sweet and you just know what's coming and it's great.

1425
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 7: And then the homemade icing on top of it is, Oh,

1426
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 7: it's fantastic.

1427
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:45,719
Speaker 3: What did you get for your birthday? Besides the cake? Anything?

1428
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 7: I got a pillow that was one thing, and I

1429
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 7: got a pillow that's supposed JDA. You might be interested

1430
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,799
Speaker 7: in this because apparently it's it prevents any sort of sweating,

1431
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 7: like it really breatheable one. It helps you sleep, and

1432
01:08:58,320 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 7: yeah it has.

1433
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 6: Been do it on your head right now?

1434
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, I know, I know. And I got

1435
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 7: a pair of flip flops too. It's my third pair

1436
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 7: of the summer. I've been wearing the mountain non stop.

1437
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 7: So yeah, these ones are a bit more, a bit

1438
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 7: more reinforceer than the other ones I've been having, So

1439
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 7: these one should last the rest of them.

1440
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:17,880
Speaker 3: You've worn out two pairs of flip flops?

1441
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:19,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, already, I know.

1442
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:24,120

1447
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:35,000

1448
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 7: They're not I like.

1449
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,679
Speaker 2: I like, yeah, they're comfortable, but in a beat setting,

1450
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 2: or when you're not moving setting, you don't.

Speaker 3: I'm just used to it, man.

1460
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 2: I just you know, I hate you as like a

1461
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,759
Speaker 2: crazy callous between your big toe and your second.

1462
01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 7: No, not really. I've got one of those those foot

1463
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 7: like shavers, you know, you know, one of those ones. A. Yeah,

1464
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 7: it gets rid of the dry skin. Yeah, but it's

1465
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 7: like it's electric. It's like an electric razor, but it's

1466
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 7: for your feet. I put that in and put the

1467
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 7: moisturizer on at night so they keep them nice. But

1468
01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 7: I find right now in Atlanta.

1469
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, did you just said you shave your feet?

1470
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:29,640

01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 7: dead skin.

01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, use this manscape. But it's great.

1473
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 7: It feels great when you you know, like the feet

1474
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 7: feel great. But I find that it's very humid already

1475
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 7: here in Atlanta. I hate wearing socks and shoes when

1476
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 7: it's like that. I just find my feet gets sweaty

1477
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 7: and heavy and yah.

1478
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:48,599
Speaker 6: Yeah.

01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 7: Do, but they're yeah, but they're breathing more. They're just breathing,

1482
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 7: and you know it's just, you know, I just don't

1483
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 7: like I much prefer and flip flops if I could

1484
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 7: every day. You know, they're a sofa shoe.
