Speaker 2: from vacation, hopefully, look like I was on vacation, uh

Speaker 2: Demon's great to see you. That's the most time we've

14
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: spent together in you know, since you lived in New

15
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: York in a very long time. So that was that

16
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: was truly great. We had a wonderful vacation. I know

17
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: we missed a lot. There was some very very significant,

18
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: obviously national non sports news with the attempted assassination of

19
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, that which actually coincide coincided almost to the

20
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 2: minute with some very significant personal news. So we will

21
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: wage our way through that about thirty minutes from now.

22
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: But before we do that, there's a lot to get

23
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: to and I want to stay focused on the sports

24
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: stuff that we missed, So let's get right into the show.

25
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: Here's what missed the cut Patrick Beverly considering an allegedly

26
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: historic deal in Europe. Let's show. The tweet is Pat

27
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: Bev gonna have the podcast translated to Russian or the

28
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: reporters covering him there gonna get a pass. That's from

29
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: May third, and it is looking Demond's a like a

30
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: classic two. I will see, we'll see. But the Bamani

31
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: used to always say, listen to me now, believe me

32
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: later on that this the Pat Bev thing, seems to

33
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: be one of those categories. Kelsey and Mahomes go on

34
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: a double date. By the way, shout out to my

35
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: friend Patrick expecting child number three. It also has been

36
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: brought to my attention because the kids are named Silvers

37
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: or Sterling and Bronze, But I think that they're I

38
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: could be wrong on this. The Dogs of the family

39
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: I think are named platinum and gold or something along

40
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: those lines. So I'm not sure what precious metals mahomes

41
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: is gonna have left for baby number three, but I'm

42
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,840

Speaker 2: new family member. And Nick Chubb out here squatting five

45
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: hundred and forty pounds shortly after less than a year

46
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: after suffering one of the most gruesome knee injuries you've

47
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: ever seen. That guy is just an unbelievable physical freak.

48
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: Shout out to him, and hopefully he's back fully healthy

49
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: this year. But oh, steel and silver are the dog names,

50
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: and sterling and bronze. Okay, so gold and platinum are available. Okay,

51
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: that's great. Thank you for the wonderful producers, and thank

52
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: you to the people in the chat who are pointing

53
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: out there who were here early excited for us to

54
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: get on the air. But demonse, let's get to a team.

55
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: USA had some exhibition games while we were going one

56
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: against Australia yesterday update.

57
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: US, so those exhibition games are now underway. We did

58
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: not cover against the spread. We won ninety eight ninety two.

59
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: A couple of things going on all a team in

60
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: the USA right now. Kauai got sent home, Katie is

61
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: now hurt, and Kurr is talking about potentially benching EMBIID.

62
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: So with us playing Serbia here soon, is there any

63
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: doubt in your mind that will take the cake? No?

64
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: So I think this is from a talent and still

65
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 2: in their prime, or guys who have aged out of

66
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: their prime but are still great perspective. This is the

67
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: best collection of talent and team USA history. I understand

68
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: that people say that sacrilege because of the ninety two

69
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 2: Dream Team, but ninety two Bird was a shell of himself,

70
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: Magic had just retired due to HIV, and you didn't

71
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: even have Isaiah Thomas on the team. So it just

72
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: wasn't the The collection of talent wasn't up to the

73
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: level that this team is. And now the rest of

74
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 2: the world has gotten so much better. You're not to

75
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: beat you know, it's no beating in Gola by sixty points.

76
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: I understand that. But this team I think is unbeatable.

77
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: And if you people say, oh, well, that hasn't been

78
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: the game man we lost since the Dream Team, there

79
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: has been one year we did not win the goal.

80
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: Since then, we have won I think twenty eight consecutive

81
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: games that that mattered, or I'm sorry we were twenty

82
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: eight to one in games that matter because we did

83
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: lose an early round game in the non knockout stage

84
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: last year, and we win all these games by double digits.

85
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: What happened in the Australia game is they were up

86
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: twenty four in an exhibition game in the second half

87
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: and stop paying attention. So I so this is the

88
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: there and the Serbia tomorrow is kind of a bummer

89
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: because Serbia plays tonight against Australia, so there's a chance

90
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: that Jokic doesn't play in the Serbia game. But if

91
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: you look at the against the US. But if you

92
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 2: look at these rosters, yes, Canada has Shay, and Greece

93
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: has Giannis, and Serbia has Jokic, but none of these

94
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: teams have a second player that would make the Team

95
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 2: USA roster. And we have answers for everything the other

96
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: team's going to try to do. So I am not

97
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: concerned in the least.

98
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: Say it again to Mase, do you like speaking of

99
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: the rosters, like, do you think the Team USA roster

100
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: is up to par Is It how you would have it?

101
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, are these the twelve guys I

102
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: would have picked? Obviously, it was a story recently that

103
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown didn't get on the initial team and then

104
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 2: didn't get picked when the replacement. I would have had

105
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: Jalen on the team over Kawhi from the very beginning.

106
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: I think at this point Jalen obviously more reliable, and

107
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: you could argue just Flatley a better player. I do

108
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: understand them going Derek White. Now. Jalen thinks it's purely Nike,

109
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: and he might be correct. There is an argument to

110
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: be made that the roster construction should be eight stars

111
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: and four Derek White types, guys who are gonna find

112
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: if they don't play.

113
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 3: I apologize, go ahead, I guess. With it being Kawhi

114
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,119
Speaker 3: that was replaced, he wasn't a glue guy. It wasn't

115
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: like he was like those role player type of guys.

116
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: It would one hundred percent agree, and they by the

117
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: way they set put this roster together, it's very clear

118
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: they're not valuing glue guys like the on the initial roster.

119
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,239
Speaker 2: The closest thing to a glue guy if you would,

120
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: and this is insulting to him is Drew Holliday, and

121
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: Drew Holliday is more than a glue guy, but a

122
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: guy who doesn't need shots and can just offend. So

123
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: if I were the one putting the foster together, the

124
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: guys who probably would have been most the guys who

125
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: were on the initial roster that I would have said,

126
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if we need them are Devin Booker, Kawhi,

127
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: and that really might be it, and I might have

128
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: replaced them with just more specialists, if you will. And again,

129
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 2: Devin Booker. That is not a knock on Devin Booker,

130
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 2: but when you have Durant and now you can argue

131
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: Bookers better than Durant. At this point you really can't

132
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: argue that Booker played really well against Australia. But I

133
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: do think there is a if Booker's better than Durant,

134
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: it's close enough that the that the legacy part of it,

135
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: and you wanted to have the old guys together. I'm

136
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: fine with that. And if you the point I'm making

137
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: is there are your concern is are there going to

138
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: be guys on the team who are upset if they're

139
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: not getting shots and not getting minutes because they're stars,

140
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 2: and would those roles be better filled with guys who

141
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: are just thrilled to be there and can do one

142
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 2: thing really well. With all that said, it absolutely will

143
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: not matter and Team USA is going to roll everyone.

144
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 2: There is not a Argentina or a Spain or a

145
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: France team from ten to twenty years ago where those

146
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: teams had been playing together and been crushing together for

147
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: a long time on this team in this field. So

148
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: I'm actually, I'm actually good with it. One more Team

149
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: USA follow up, Demanse No about the starting five.

150
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you were giving the reins, who would be

151
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 3: your starting five for a Team USA.

152
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: So the reason I wanted to make sure you asked

153
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: that was because on TV I gave out the starting

154
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 2: five and then Steve Kerr said, you know what, Nick right,

155
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: You're exactly right. My starting five would have been the

156
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 2: exact starting five that Steve Kerr ultimately picked. Anton Step

157
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: in your back court, Lebron and Tatum in your front

158
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 2: court with Embiid playing center. Now, there is a chance

159
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: that you mentioned Kerrs talking about benching Embiid. There's a

160
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: chance that Anthony Davis could be the better option as

161
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 2: far as switchability, playing you know what I mean, playing

162
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: a perimeter defensively, Embiid actually is the better option as

163
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: far as spread, you know, playing a five out style,

164
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 2: because he is a far better perimeter shooter than a

165
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: d But the starting five that Kerr went with is

166
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 2: the exact starting five Wade Davis Embiid. Anthony Davis hasn't

167
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: been a good perimeter shooter since the bubble, and he

168
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: doesn't really shoot threes anymore. Embiid, on the other hands,

169
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: probably the best jump shooting big man certainly of the

170
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: last thirty years, and maybe ever he might just be

171
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 2: flatly the best jump shooting big man ever. But that's

172
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: the other reason. Like you have embid Ad and Bam

173
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 2: as center options. It's just a well built team. And

174
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: so the only question or concern that you're gonna have

175
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: is when the games really matter, it is you know,

176
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: is Haliburton or Booker or I mean those are Bam

177
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: gonna be upset if they're not getting minutes. Derek White's

178
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: not gonna be upset. He's not getting minutes. He's happy

179
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: to be there, all right.

180
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: Next, So Jalen Brunson pulled sort of a Tom Brady.

181
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 3: He left some money on the table about one hundred

182
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 3: and thirteen million to keep that nice core together and

183
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: build on that chemistry. Do you think this makes a

184
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: lot of sense or do you think that he'll just

185
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: end up leaving that money on the table just to lose.

186
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 3: Do you like, will they get anything done?

187
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: So I want to talk about what he did because

188
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 2: I this is the power of Woj and woje Wog's tweets,

189
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: because I'm not saying that what Wog wrote is incorrect.

190
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: What I am saying is it's set the conversation on

191
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 2: a path that I think is a touch misleading. So Woj,

192
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: when he broke the news, called it an unprecedented move

193
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 2: in favor of team building to keep everyone together, et cetera.

194
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: And I don't feel that that is exactly right. And

195
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: I honestly have felt that the coverage of this has

196
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: been again I've even been to be fair, I was

197
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: out of the and I wasn't following it, you know,

198
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: day by day. So I don't know if it's right

199
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: to say the coverage of it has been lacking. But

200
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: the initial coverage that I saw was a little to

201
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: me unintentionally misleading because I don't look at this purely

202
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: as sorry, my computer just restarted. I don't look at

203
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: this purely as Jalen Brunson taking a team friendly discount.

204
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: I look at it as Jalen Brunson hedging against catastrophic

205
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: outcomes while maintaining ultimate long term upside. So to be clear,

206
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: Brunson took five I'm sorry, four one p fifty seven

207
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: in a year he would have been eligible for five

208
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: to seventy, so one hundred and thirteen million dollar delta

209
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 2: there with an additional contract year on it. It was

210
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: to me presented a bit as if he had the

211
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: five to seventy available now and instead took four for

212
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: one point fifty seven. And that is flatly not. That

213
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: is not what has happened here, So why does that matter.

214
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: I don't view it purely as taking a discount if

215
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: the contract we're talking about is not actually available to

216
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: you until you play another year of basketball. And the

217
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: reason that that is relevant is because we have seen

218
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 2: so many times guys get get injured. Well I shouldn't

219
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: say so many times. It's the one instance everyone kind

220
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: of thinks of, which is what happened with Isaiah Thomas.

221
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: Isaiah Thomas played one you know, was getting ready to

222
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: get a max, suffered a hip injury and never got

223
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: any of that money, never got any of it. And

224
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: by taking this deal here, Jalen locks in four for

225
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: one point fifty seven, which by the way, after three

226
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: years of he can opt out of if he's still

227
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: a star, and then sign that massive five for four

228
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: hundred people have talked about and be an eighty million

229
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: dollar a year player, which is unbelievable million bucks a game,

230
00:15:53,040 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: but hedges against a catastrophic outcome or an injury, which

231
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: for a player of his size who hasn't yet made

232
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:11,239
Speaker 2: huge money, it's made great money. Huge money is super valuable.

233
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: And when we talk about yourself.

234
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: Well, I so I that kind of but it's you

235
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: keep the to me. This is how I look at

236
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: the Jalen Brunson thing. In one hand, was the play

237
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: out this year, play well, sign the five for two

238
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: seventy right, and and then hope to still be great,

239
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 2: you know, five years from now, and sign it one

240
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: more really big contract and have some ceiling be put

241
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: on the nix ability to build out the rest of

242
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: that team those in one hand. In the other hand

243
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: was lock in right now four for one sixty while

244
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: making it giving the Knicks a little more flexibility, but

245
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: critically also keep being able to attain maximum money if

246
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 2: you awesome for the next four years when you sign

247
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: your next deal. So of all the ranges of outcomes, right,

248
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 2: if we were to again, I know this is a

249
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: little convoluted, but I think this is the right way

250
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: to look at it. If you're looking at it almost

251
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: on a line, there is worst possible outcome, right, which

252
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 2: is he gets hurt terribly this year and none of

253
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: that money's there. That's the worst outcome, and that's now

254
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: removed entirely. That the next if we just go from

255
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 2: worst to best, the next outcome is he signs this deal,

256
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 2: but what and is excellent this year and could have

257
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: signed the five for two seventy, but deprived himself of

258
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: that opportunity, And the next time he's available for free agency,

259
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: big money is not available to him. That is now possible.

260
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: The next outcome is would have been on the range

261
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: of outcomes, is awesome this year, signs the five for

262
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: two seventy, doesn't get another big contract in five years,

263
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: and he's locked into seventy. That's a little better than

264
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: the one I just said. The very best outcome is

265
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: signs this deal is awesome throughout and then signs one

266
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 2: of the biggest deals in league history in four years.

267
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: That's where you make the most money possible of any

268
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 2: of me. Kind of what he did by doing this

269
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: was remove the worst outcome possible entirely and remove the

270
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: second best outcome, locking in a median outcome and still

271
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: keeping the upside of the best possible outcome. So if

272
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 2: this were if this were deal or no deal, maybe

273
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: I should have done it like this. It would be

274
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 2: as if on the on the board left is ten

275
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: dollars one hundred thousand, a quarter of a million and

276
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 2: a million, and what they are saying is, hey, we

277
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 2: will allow you to remove the ten dollars suitcase, but

278
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 2: you also have to give us the quarter of a

279
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 2: millionar suitcase. Think about it like that. I just realized it.

280
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: This is exactly how I should have described it. You're

281
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 2: playing deal or no deal. There's four suitcases left, and

282
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: by the way, you're never going to be allowed to

283
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: take the deal. You're just gonna have to open suitcases.

284
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: And what is on the board is ten dollars one

285
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: hundred thousand, two hundred and fifty thousand and a million,

286
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 2: and they are saying to you, you can get rid

287
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: of the ten dollars one, but we are also taking

288
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 2: away the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars one. So

289
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 2: the ultimate goal will still be available to you and

290
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 2: you remove all the significant downside, but you're trading in

291
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: order to do that, you are trading out a really

292
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 2: the second best possible outcome here quarter of a million

293
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: bucks Jailen bruns And by the way, is an added bonus.

294
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: It's gonna help you know your team. That's what jail

295
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: Brunton did. So it is a great move for the Knicks.

296
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: I think it is a smart move for him. But

297
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: presenting it as if it were purely taking a lesser

298
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 2: deal when the bigger deal would not be available for

299
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: another year, I think misses some important context to the situation.

300
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: That's all. I hope that made sense to people. All right, Demonse, Let's.

301
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: Go on to the next with that core staying intact,

302
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 3: with Jayalen Brunton taking the cut, where do they where

303
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 3: do they land line up for the best futures in

304
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 3: the finals.

305
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: Well, so as far as the best futures, I mean,

306
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: they've got their core locked in I still have questioned. Now.

307
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: The other the other thing this allows for Demanse.

308
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 3: Is the.

309
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 2: If they do decide they want to trade Julius Randall,

310
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 2: that doesn't have to be like a pure salary dump.

311
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 2: They can get back real salaries in return because they

312
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: have this added flexibility the next few years because of

313
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 2: Jalen's deal. So that's a positive. I like the team

314
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 2: they've built and they were really good last year.

315
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: Say it again, don't they need a big right now?

316
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 2: They yes? I mean they have Mitchell Robinson, but they

317
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: lost Hartenstein. Yes, they do need a big and that's

318
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: where I think maybe the Julius Randall trade could could

319
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,719
Speaker 2: come into play. But in the East, you really only

320
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: need a true big against Philly. In the West you

321
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 2: need a true big if you go up against Joker.

322
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: But you know the but they got to make the

323
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 2: finals and the Nuggets have gone Sorry Daniel a little

324
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 2: backwards and feel so sick. Nuggets draft pick Tours Achilles

325
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 2: this weekend in Summer League. That is brutal. Uh So,

326
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: I sorry, I only laughed because Daniel just chimed in

327
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 2: into my ear for the first time all show. Just

328
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 2: so brutal, just sounding press fall, and it's not funny.

329
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: It was just I just didn't expect to hear from

330
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 2: so I. It's not perfect. But by the way, the

331
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 2: Celtics big is out for the beginning of the season

332
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 2: and then we'll see. So there's right now, there's no

333
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 2: perfect rosters out there built. I do really like what

334
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,959
Speaker 2: Okac is built, and they got Hartenstein. But I think

335
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 2: the knick sture in great shape. They're in the best

336
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 2: shape they've been in in thirty years at least. All right.

337
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 3: Next, so Bronni off the court is winning Call of

338
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 3: duty tournaments. Bronni all in the court seems to be

339
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 3: struggling a little bit. He had had two points against

340
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 3: the Celtics in the Summer League game over the weekend.

341
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 3: He admit that that he admits that he's in a

342
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 3: slump and wouldn't mind going to the G League. But

343
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 3: his coach JJ Reddick thinks that he'd be something like

344
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: lou Dort defensively. So I want to ask you, what

345
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 3: do you see from Bronnie so I.

346
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 2: So here's the thing. I think he's zero for fifteen

347
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 2: from three, So that is obviously not going to not

348
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 2: gonna cut it, boys, And that's going to right now,

349
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 2: be up here. It's why right now he looks so

350
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: out of his depth, so to speak. It just it

351
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 2: doesn't And I believe in Brownie's instincts and his feel

352
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 2: for the game, and I do think he's a good

353
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: defensive place and I think it's it's go ahead, demanse.

354
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: No, exactly.

355
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 4: No.

356
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 3: He does have the ability to stay in front. He's

357
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 3: very he can move his feet. He is a great defender.

358
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 3: I see that in him at the very least right now.

359
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 2: But the problem with that is the great defender side

360
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 2: of it is, Man, it is almost impossible to actually

361
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 2: be a great defender in the NBA at six to one,

362
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 2: and so the if he were six ' four, then

363
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 2: we're talking about something totally different. So, but the answer

364
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 2: is was always going to be that, yes, he needed

365
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 2: time in the G League. The answer was always going

366
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: to be that he should spend most of this year

367
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: in the G league. I also think that he's clearly pressing,

368
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: and that's understandable. There's a lot of scrutiny on a

369
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 2: kid who was the fifty to fifth pick. So any

370
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: idea that Bronni was going to no matter what he

371
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: did at summer League. Any idea that Bronni was going

372
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: to be a real contributor to the Lakers this year,

373
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 2: I thought was foolish to begin with. I think that

374
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 2: these I think these next two years are development as

375
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: is for a lot of second round picks. And you see,

376
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: I think he's handling it well. And I think that Listen,

377
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 2: basketball will be a cruel game. If you literally miss

378
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: every three you take, and that's going to be a

379
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: majority of the shots you take, it it's going to

380
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: look awful and right now, that's how it is. And

381
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 2: so the I also thought winning the Call of Duty

382
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 2: thing was actually a bummer because it just leads to

383
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: people on the internet. It leads to an easy meme,

384
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: you know what I mean of the internet sayings focused

385
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: on the wrong stuff.

386
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 3: But I go ahead, I mean no, I mean, I

387
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: don't know. I was gonna say, I bet he probably

388
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 3: didn't want to win that, because I feel like he

389
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 3: actually might think something about that.

390
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: But but evidently, man the James family, lebron claims he's

391
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 2: top like two hundred in the world in Madden and

392
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: then Bronni just won the Call of Duty thing. So

393
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. All right, let's go to Caitlin Clark.

394
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 3: You do you want to talk at all about the

395
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown lip reading what he said of the game

396
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 3: with his new girlfriend. I think sounds like you said

397
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 3: that he wasn't ready for the pros. Talking to le Bron, he.

398
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 2: Said he's not an NBA player, and then Jalen sent

399
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 2: out a tweet that didn't really like take back what

400
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: he said, but you know, seemed to pay a compliment

401
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: to Lebron. I mean, listen, Brownie right now, is not

402
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: an NBA that that's not a that's not a harsh

403
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 2: assess now again, this is the the problem with taking

404
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 2: a guy's short statement and you know, extrapolating it. You

405
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 2: have no way of telling was he's saying like never

406
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: will be an NBA player. That to me is premature

407
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 2: and probably too harsh. Not an NBA player right now,

408
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: that's accurate, and I think every again, this is the

409
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: point that I hope people understand. If the guy was

410
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: ready to be an NBA contributor this season, a team

411
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 2: would have spent a first round pick on it. They

412
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 2: would not have cared that about what Rich Paul and

413
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: Clutch and those guys are sayings like, no, if this

414
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 2: guy can help our team right now. But the vet

415
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 2: the right, the that this majority of guys taken out

416
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 2: of the lottery are not NBA players day one, and

417
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 2: almost note second round picks are. There's the rare exception

418
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 2: are NBA players day one. So yeah, I don't think

419
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 2: what Jalen said was unfair, and we don't have the

420
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: full context of it obviously, and so the but I

421
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 2: think that's probably about right. All right, let's do Kaitlin.

422
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 3: Yes, Diana Tarrasi is dealing with an injury which could

423
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: hold her out of the Olympics. Kaitlyn Clark recently came

424
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 3: out and said that her goal was still one day

425
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 3: play for the Olympic team. Back when the roster was announced,

426
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 3: she obviously hadn't earned it the fever with three and ten,

427
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: but since then she's been on an eight and four run.

428
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: She's averaging seventeen, ten and seven. So we're getting Kaitlyn

429
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 3: Clark in the Olympics. Being now everybody's best interest.

430
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: I don't think it'd be in Caitlin's best interest. I

431
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 2: think that Kate having some time out of the spotlight

432
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 2: and not having the Caitlin Clerk kind of media machine

433
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: overtake the coverage of the women's Olympic team would be

434
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 2: better for her standing amongst her colleagues. And I think

435
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 2: having a month off to really like rest, recuperate and

436
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: truly be out of the spotlight for the first time

437
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 2: in a year plus would be excellent for her. I

438
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: also think every single one of my Caitlyn Clark takes

439
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: from during this season has been is being proven out

440
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: in real time, and it's glorious as a professional takes

441
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: mean to see when they were losing and she was struggling,

442
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: I told you it was the schedule and the back

443
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 2: to backs and the teams they were playing. I told

444
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: you that once they instead of playing three games in

445
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: four days, they were playing three games in ten days,

446
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: she would start rolling. I told you that by the

447
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 2: end of the year she would be one of the

448
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: ten best players in the league. I told you that

449
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 2: once the schedule saw oftened of the fever would be

450
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 2: firmly in the playoff race. And I told you that

451
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: there would be a lot of really dishonest actors when

452
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 2: it came to the Caitlin Angel debate, and that's happening already.

453
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: The idea and I am on the record stamped as

454
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: someone for more than a year that has defended and

455
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: supported Angel Reese, and I'll continue to do so. But

456
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: I do I must say two things, and I don't

457
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: care who gets mad at me. Do not care. Thing.

458
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: One is this the idea that there was that the

459
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year race is close right now is

460
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: a historic a historical. Two, how Rookie of the Year

461
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: races have gone in all of sports forever. Angel Rees

462
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: is having an excellent rookie season. She has been the

463
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 2: second best rookie clearly. But the problem with winning Rookie

464
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: of the Year is it typically doesn't go to the

465
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: person who is clearly the second best rookie. So it

466
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: is and this idea that it was, oh well, it

467
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: should go to Angel because her team had one more

468
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 2: win at one point that was nonsense. But also that

469
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: was a take that wasn't gonna age great just because

470
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: those records were going to shift and they already had.

471
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 2: Angel is having an excellent rookie year and is proving

472
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: she is going to be a ten plus year really

473
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: good player. Caitlin is having one of the best and

474
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 2: most productive and useful rookie years of any player ever

475
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: that's just what it is. That there is one right now,

476
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 2: clear flaw in her game, which is the turnovers are

477
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 2: still an absurdly high number, but she, despite that, she

478
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 2: adds so much value to them offensively. So that's first point.

479
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 2: Second point is this, if we are going to treat

480
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: the WNBA like a real sport, which it deserves to

481
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 2: be treated like because it is. And if we're gonna

482
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 2: treat these athletes like real athletes, which they deserve to

483
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: be treated like because they are, we must not be

484
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: patronizing in our coverage, which means the criticism of the

485
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: actual basketball must be honest. And now is where I

486
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: will be honest. The last two games when that double

487
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: double streak was alive for Angel Reese, the hunting for

488
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: a double double in the final seconds of a blowout

489
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 2: in either direction is unbecoming of a great athlete. It

490
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: and if any male athlete were doing that, they would

491
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 2: get roasted. And so the the or right, there's plenty

492
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 2: of instances of it, and we're like, give me a break.

493
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 2: And it's especially bad when it comes in a game

494
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: that is lopsided again, you know, in the other direction.

495
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 2: It's just not Maybe we should be okay with people scoring,

496
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: you know, with three seconds left in a blowout. We

497
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 2: have decided as a sports culture that that's against an

498
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 2: unwritten rule. And I thought the double double especially, it'd

499
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: be one thing if it's like a there's no good

500
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: comp for it, but like a you're going after Demaggio's

501
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: hitting streak. Like, but this double consecutive double double record

502
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 2: was not exactly a pantheon record that like, oh my goodness,

503
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 2: we've been talking about this for and it all also

504
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: wasn't like I don't know what the number is, but

505
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: at one point Steph had something like has hit a

506
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 2: three in x hundred consecutive games. It wasn't some historic

507
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 2: multi year thing. It was a cool thing that had

508
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 2: happened for a moment, a bunch of new holidays. Oh

509
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 2: it just it felt it didn't feel like a So

510
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 2: I thought that was a bad look. And I also

511
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: think other people thought it was a bad look, and

512
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 2: we're afraid to say it because they don't want to.

513
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 2: I feel like there's so much paternalistic patriot patronizing of

514
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 2: the w n B. A let's treat it like a

515
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 2: real sport, which means there's sometimes you gotta rip people

516
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 2: like that's and then for all the court stuff like

517
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 2: it's and so that's that's my take. I hope Caitlin's

518
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 2: not in the Olympics. I think it's better for her

519
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 2: if she's not. And I think that she's already a

520
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 2: problem and was it was that was inevitable because we

521
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 2: watched her in college and she was a historic problem.

522
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 2: All right, Uh, quick break, speaking of things I was

523
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 2: right about, I mean, I don't know. I just gave

524
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 2: out straight winners of the three biggest tournaments going on

525
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 2: in the world a month ago, right before they'd even started.

526
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 2: We'll discuss that next What's Right? All right, welcome back

527
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: in What's Driving Nick Right? Episode two forty eight. So

528
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 2: the just full disclosure were the that the show's gonna

529
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 2: get really heavy in about five minutes. Uh, but just

530
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 2: that's kind of what this show's for. Sometimes it's actually

531
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 2: where it's not actually gonna get heavy in the way

532
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: you guys think, but it's gonna get heavy in about

533
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 2: five minutes. But first, before we do that, let's do

534
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 2: maybe my favorite thing in sports media demons, which is

535
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 2: playback video of me being correct. So go ahead and

536
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 2: set it up for us if you would please.

537
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 3: Yeah. So last time we were on here, you had

538
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 3: a couple of predictions, and we're gonna take a listen

539
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 3: here for the fans on YouTube.

540
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 2: Oh, let's take a listen. I'll go with Spain in

541
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: the Euros and in Copa I'm just gonna go with

542
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 2: Chalk and I'll just go with Argentina. You guys know,

543
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 2: I tend to always root for Brazil, but I think

544
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: it's going to be Argentina. I told you guys, I'm

545
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 2: gonna pick Alcarez to win every major for probably the

546
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 2: next five years, and I'll be right more often than

547
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 2: I'm wrong. So anybody watch sports on Saturday, because here's

548
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 2: how it happened. You woke up in the morning, h

549
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: rub the sleep out of your eyes and al Corez

550
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 2: was already up two sets nothing on Joker and then

551
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 2: finish them off in a third set tie break check one.

552
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 2: Then maybe add your morning coffee, went on a little run.

553
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 2: I was on my third rum punch and watched Spain

554
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 2: play England in an epic. I say Saturday, this would

555
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 2: have been Sunday. Pardon me, Yeah, I have the days,

556
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: all the days running together in my head and watched

557
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 2: Spain play England in an epic match. I actually watched

558
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 2: it in a crowd. There were people from Spain there

559
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 2: on vacation and some English people on vacation, and I

560
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: told the English people ahead of time. I was like,

561
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 2: just so you know, I'm gonna be a little annoying,

562
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: but once Spain scores, I'll buy you all around a drinks.

563
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: They were incredibly gracious. It was great. Spain went up

564
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: won nothing. England had a great goal to tie it up.

565
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: Spain then scored in electrifying fashion in the eighty eighth

566
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 2: minute check to and then Argentina. After the disaster that

567
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 2: was the crowd control at COPA in Miami, Argentina in

568
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: the waning moments of extra time dealt with Columbia that trifecta.

569
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what it would have paid, but I

570
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 2: hope you bet it. Uh great listener viewer Twitter follow

571
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 2: Uh that I can't hold on what is his Twitter

572
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 2: name exactly? Bag Van something go ahead?

573
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 3: Adults behave that way to sports that I mean, you're

574
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 3: sneaking in through Vince. Oh you're grown here, so you're

575
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 3: an adult.

576
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 2: Well yes, that's crazy, but also well, well, a couple

577
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 2: of things by the way. The person I was trying

578
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 2: to shout out was his name is crisis actor Bagger Vance. Uh.

579
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 2: You can follow him on Twitter at mister Brandon twenty three.

580
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 2: He has been a longtime viewer and listener and friend

581
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 2: and I actually have watched a big either soccer game

582
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: or football game with him in Vegas before. I can't

583
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 2: remember if it was soccer or football, but regardless, Uh,

584
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 2: he got down on Alcarez and on Spain, and so

585
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 2: shout out to him. But the the thing, But what

586
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: was a shame with that demant was a lot of

587
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 2: people who had actual tickets then weren't being let in.

588
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 2: They had spent a ton of money, people had traveled.

589
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 2: It was a disaster. That thing was a was an

590
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 2: absolute disaster. But now that I'm done bragging about it,

591
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 2: what's the question here? Do we have a question here?

592
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 3: The I think yeah, yeah, I mean, so you obviously

593
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 3: predicted the Euros, Cope and Wimbledon. Do you want to

594
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 3: talk about Alcarez, Spain, Argentina or do you want to

595
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 3: gloat some more?

596
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 2: Well, no, I think we should talk Alcarez, uh, because

597
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 2: we put a cool graphic on social media about Alcarez's

598
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 2: start to his career, and by this age, no one

599
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 2: has ever done more. Uh now that isn't Borg was

600
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 2: had the greatest start overall, but that we were talking

601
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 2: more about twenty five, and he retired early. Joker had

602
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 2: to deal with the fact that when he was young

603
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 2: he's dealing with Federer and Nadal Nadala deal with when

604
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 2: he was young he's doing with Federer. Federer didn't really

605
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: you know, Federer, gott An early starting those other guys.

606
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 2: But this guy is just as uniquely talented as any

607
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 2: tennis player I can ever remember. And I'll just keep

608
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 2: picking him in every major. I'll watch him in the

609
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 2: US Open, uh here in a few weeks, maybe from

610
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 2: center court as one of the ball boys. As we discussed,

611
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 2: I'm auditioning for that next week, I think. So that

612
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 2: will keep you guys posted on. Of course, I don't

613
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 2: know if we'll see the light of day. We'll see

614
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 2: how I do. Demand's worried I'm gonna tear my Achilles.

615
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 2: Demanse was worried We're gonna be the torn Achilles father

616
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 2: son duo. I'm more worried of a clone hamstring. But

617
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 2: it'll be me, my buddy, Mark Carmon who's coming in

618
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 2: from Chicago to also audition. I think it's happening next week.

619
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 2: Oh well, Karen plays tennis almost every day. But Karen's

620
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 2: also old, man, I mean the and Karen's old and

621
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 2: he's carrying a little more weight than I am. So

622
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, but the that that'll be great. But

623
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 2: alcaz is the story. Argentina winning despite you know, Messi

624
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 2: getting hurt is great. And Spain just rolled this whole tournament.

625
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 2: Spain I think finished the tournament total goals. I think

626
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: they scored fifteen and allowed four. I mean, they were

627
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: they were just so clearly the best team, and so

628
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: shout out to them. Okay, consider this just bit catharsis

629
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 2: and a bit public service. So so I know, maybe

630
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 2: people feel an expectation or that I have an obligation

631
00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 2: or something to talk about. Uh. The shooting at the

632
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 2: Trump rally on Saturday, and the last shooting at a

633
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 2: major event in America I was at, this was obviously different.

634
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 2: This was, you know, what was pretty clearly an assassination attempt.

635
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 2: First time we've had in this country a president or

636
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 2: former president or presidential candidate shot since Reagan in my lifetime,

637
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 2: like I vividly remember when the guy threw the shoe

638
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 2: at George W. Bush and I wasn't a George W.

639
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 2: Bush guy, and I was still bothered by it. I'm like,

640
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 2: what are you doing throwing a shoe at the president?

641
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 2: This obviously way, way, way scarier and worse. But I

642
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 2: don't really have a take on it. And it's I mean,

643
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 2: you guys know my take on guns. You guys know

644
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 2: my take on the easy accessibility of guns and so,

645
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 2: but I also don't have a take on it because

646
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 2: I oddly have spent very little time thinking about it.

647
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 2: And that's because, like, literally fifteen minutes before that news broke,

648
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 2: I think I dealt with the saddest moment of my

649
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 2: life and it wasn't even my tragedy specifically. And so

650
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: there'll be a moral to this story, I promise.

651
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 3: So.

652
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 2: I my wife has a dear friend. If you follow

653
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,399
Speaker 2: my wife on social media, you've seen pictures of her.

654
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to Her name's Ashley, and Ashley is

655
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: closer to Demands's age than my age, just recently turned thirty.

656
00:43:55,800 --> 00:44:06,240
Speaker 2: And uh Ashley, who helped Danielle build this store, who

657
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:14,280
Speaker 2: has been a true light in our family's life passed

658
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 2: away of natural causes unexpectedly in her sleep Friday night,

659
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 2: and like fifteen minutes before the Trump shooting happened, I

660
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 2: had pulled back up to our house. We were out

661
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 2: on vacation, and my wife met me at the door

662
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 2: and I knew someone had died. I just you just

663
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 2: know it because of the look on her face and

664
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: the tears, And at that moment, you're just you're just

665
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 2: in that split seconds you kind of go to people

666
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 2: in your life who are older. And when she told

667
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 2: me who it was, it might it buckled me because

668
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 2: it's the death is awful, and I all these things

669
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 2: are awful, but the sudden death of a as far

670
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:25,760
Speaker 2: as you know, fully healthy young persons, nothing that prepares

671
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 2: you for it. And when I say it was the

672
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 2: saddest moment of my life, it was this pain on

673
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 2: my wife's face, whatever pain I'm dealing with. But then

674
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 2: our baby, our ten year old Deanna, this she called

675
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 2: her t t Ashley. She she stayed at Ashley's house.

676
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: She this was a on on the fourth of July.

677
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 2: It was me, Danielle, Deanna and Ashley. This is fourth July.

678
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 2: Let I don't know how many days ago that was

679
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 2: watching fireworks. They're spending a beautiful day together, beautiful day

680
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 2: and uh and nothing prepares you as a parent. Tell

681
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 2: your kid that nothing prepares you as a kid for that.

682
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 2: And the shriek from Deanna and all these things they're

683
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 2: just seared in my memory. So I'm saying this because

684
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 2: it's a little cathartic, because I you know, I don't

685
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 2: feel as sad as I am. It is a true,

686
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 2: true life, shaking earthquake of a tragedy for my wife

687
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 2: and my daughter, and incredibly sad for everyone, and as

688
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 2: sad as it is for them. My wife and I

689
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 2: were with Ashley's mother and brother last night, and it's

690
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 2: not something you I tried to. You know, you don't

691
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 2: know what to do. So I'm saying it here because

692
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 2: it is part of, I guess, the grieving process. But

693
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 2: I'm also saying it here because I really, really really

694
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 2: hope that someone listening or watching, and I know it's cliche,

695
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 2: but god, it's true. Here's this and reconnects with someone

696
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 2: or reaches out to someone, or buries a hatchet with someone,

697
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 2: because god damn man, some of these things literally take

698
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 2: your breath away and you don't get the chances to

699
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 2: say goodbye or tell people how much you love them.

700
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 2: And I am feel incredibly blessed that that wasn't the

701
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 2: case with my family and Ashley, she know, she knew,

702
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,359
Speaker 2: knows new. I don't know how much we love her

703
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 2: and how special and important she was and what a

704
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 2: bright light in this world she was. But that's not

705
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 2: always the case, and I'm sure there are some people

706
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 2: who didn't get that chance.

707
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 3: Uh.

708
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 2: And it's also unique, I uh, I dealt with as

709
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 2: a kid, oddly a lot of death, just I add,

710
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 2: a very blessed childhood, but a lot of death was

711
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 2: like the one thing, but almost none of its sudden.

712
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 2: One one, the guy I called uncle John, John great Man,

713
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 2: John Tivetten, uh was a firefighter with my father and

714
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 2: died in a fire. And so I I remember that.

715
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 2: I remember that. That's a seared memory. It's inside out,

716
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 2: one of those core memories of the bad ones though,

717
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 2: the blue ones. And I remember my mom shriek. I

718
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 2: remember the whole thing, but the but all the other death,

719
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 2: it was people were sick. People they were old, they

720
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 2: were sick, or they were young and they were sick,

721
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 2: and you got a run up, and that's hardening of

722
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 2: itself because you're kind of like forever grieving, pre grieving

723
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 2: all of it. But uh, but nothing, nothing I've ever

724
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 2: experienced as was like Sunday nothing. And there's there's no

725
00:49:54,520 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 2: there's no blueprint or instruction manual what to do and

726
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 2: I and there's there's there's no right or wrong way.

727
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,760
Speaker 2: But the reason I am bringing this to this audience

728
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:20,200
Speaker 2: today is because maybe, just maybe, if somebody will reach

729
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,959
Speaker 2: out to someone and tell them they love them. And

730
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 2: the reason that I even mentioned the Trump piece of

731
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 2: it was not just because of the duality of the time.

732
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 2: It was literally I was on the ground consoling my

733
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 2: wife and one of my dear friends text me and said,

734
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 2: did you see what happened? And so it was simultaneous

735
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 2: basically when we got the news and when that happened.

736
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:56,280
Speaker 2: But because these next few months at the very least

737
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 2: are going to be a very very tumultuous time in

738
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 2: our nation, as all presidential election seasons are, but particularly

739
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 2: the last few, and having one of the candidates recently

740
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 2: be the victim of an assassination attempt only ups the

741
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 2: ante on that massively, and there's going to be a

742
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 2: lot of people who are just every every minute of

743
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 2: the day refreshing Twitter and staying angry and staying online

744
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 2: and staying in their phones, and all of it, for

745
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 2: good or for bad, it's been. Presidential elections are important.

746
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to act like they're not. But man,

747
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 2: when I tell you, like, none of it could feel

748
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 2: less relevant to me in that moment, even though I

749
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 2: knew the gravity intellectually of what happened. So I say

750
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 2: that in that, hold your people close, hold them close,

751
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 2: and be there for your people, and and be in

752
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 2: the moment when you have those moments, especially over these

753
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 2: next few months when we're gonna have a lot of

754
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 2: media and a lot of things that are going to

755
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 2: get us distract us from the stuff that truly matters.

756
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 2: Because sometimes you have a true angel come into your

757
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 2: life just a few years ago, touch every person in it,

758
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 2: leave an impact on every person in it, have all

759
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 2: the potential in the world to do amazing things, and

760
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 2: something happens in her brain while she's sleeping. I really

761
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 2: really appreciate you, guys as an audience, me feeling safe

762
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 2: and comfortable enough to share this with you, and I

763
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 2: really really feel blessed to have met this young woman

764
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 2: and to have had her impact my family the way

765
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 2: it has, And as I privately committed to her mother,

766
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 2: I publicly commit just to myself to be there in

767
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 2: every way possible for her family and the people in

768
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 2: hour in her community that are really suffering right now

769
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 2: through a true impossibility. Okay, the only thing that could

770
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 2: possibly make me feel better right now is seeing a

771
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 2: different one of my favorite people in the world give

772
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 2: us a long overdue update on F one. So a

773
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 2: three week overdue F one minute plus some listener questions. Next,

774
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 2: what's right? All right? Welcome back in What's right with Nick? Right?

775
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:26,919
Speaker 2: So I demon say this will make you laugh, which

776
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 2: is probably necessary.

777
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:28,439
Speaker 3: Now.

778
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 2: I forgot to tell Sierra about our intermittent recording schedule

779
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 2: because of Vegas and then because of vacation. So poor

780
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:41,479
Speaker 2: Sierra has been recording F one minutes left and right.

781
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 3: We've got three four minutes.

782
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 2: I think we might have four that you know what

783
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 2: I mean, have like have not seen the light of day.

784
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 2: We're not gonna play those four. I told her sheepishly

785
00:54:56,239 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 2: this week that well, as it happens, we were all

786
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 2: scheduled off the air and then off the air and whatever.

787
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,879
Speaker 2: So the so I asked Sierra to record a new

788
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 2: one updating us on everything we've missed since the last

789
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 2: F one minute actually made the air. So here is

790
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 2: Sierra Fiddel, our F one expert, in full F one regalia,

791
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 2: with a new microphone camera and everything set up with

792
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 2: our latest F one minute.

793
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 4: Welcome back to F one minute. It's been a while.

794
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,720
Speaker 4: I'm finding the urge to say it's been a minute,

795
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 4: but it's been a while since you last spoken it

796
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 4: and we have a lot to discuss, so we're just

797
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 4: gonna get straight into it. So we're halfway into the season.

798
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 4: It's been a very competitive one. We have six different

799
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 4: race winners and one of them being Lewis Hamilton. If

800
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 4: you don't understand how much weight that carries. Louis Hamilton

801
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 4: hasn't won a race in over two years, and he's

802
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 4: one of the most iconic, if not the most iconic

803
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 4: driver the sport has ever had, and he's still participating

804
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,320
Speaker 4: in the sport today. And ever since Maxis happened joined

805
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 4: the scene, it's been an absolute wreck for Mercedes and

806
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 4: it's been wrecked for him, but he's won. He won

807
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 4: at Silverstone and it's home race. And this is important

808
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 4: because this is his last Silverstone race as Mercedes driver

809
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:27,920
Speaker 4: because he will be going to Ferrari next year. He

810
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 4: will be replacing Carlos Signs. And this is also a

811
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,919
Speaker 4: big deal because he's been with Mercedes ever since twenty

812
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 4: thirteen and he has most of his wins with Mercedes.

813
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 4: So they're like this and he's leaving, and it was

814
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 4: just an emotional moment. He was crying on the radio.

815
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 4: It was a big moment for the fans. For especially

816
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 4: if you're a Lewis Hampton fan. I'm pretty sure that

817
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 4: was like the best moment of your entire life. There

818
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:53,520
Speaker 4: are men of tears, many tears vers, but it was

819
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 4: it was like the best moment thus far was to

820
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 4: see Lewis Hampton win at Silverstone. And if you disagree,

821
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 4: you are just a hater in general. Like other headlines, Wow,

822
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 4: some really big headliness going on right now. Is this

823
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 4: whole idea of driver swaps mid season. That's what Louis

824
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 4: Hempson is doing is big swap. But that's next season.

825
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 4: We have drivers at the moment who are considered being

826
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 4: booted out of their seats as we speak. These drivers

827
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 4: want the top one being Surgery Uprocris. He's done a

828
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 4: terrible job. And it's funny because they've actually extended his contract,

829
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 4: but ever since that was released, it's like it put

830
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 4: a spell on him and it caused him to do

831
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 4: the opposite. They've even gone to the extent of allowing

832
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 4: somebody else to test their car with talks of replacement.

833
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 4: But there's other there's other drivers. There's drivers like Logan

834
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 4: Sergeant as well in Oakon, Daniel Ricardo. All these drivers

835
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 4: are being there's talk is about them being replaced as

836
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 4: we speak. So my last point for what's going on

837
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 4: in the F one world right now would just be

838
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 4: how competitive this season has been thus far. It's been

839
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 4: a complete masters sabredominance for the last few seasons, and

840
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 4: and that makes it not exciting, like we already know

841
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 4: who's gonna win. It's really just like a battle per second,

842
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 4: like who's gonna win second, because we already know who's

843
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 4: gonna win first. But we can't really have we can't

844
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 4: really approach these Grand Prix with that same attitude anymore

845
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 4: because we're starting to see a red red well down downhill.

846
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 4: Now they are still winning in the drivers and the

847
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 4: Constructors Championships, but that doesn't mean that they're not under

848
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 4: a threat, and that's what makes it fun. So that's

849
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 4: been your F a minute for this Tuesday. Super excited

850
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 4: times for the sport. It's race week, so I'll be

851
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 4: talking about the hungering and Grand Prix happening on Sunday

852
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 4: on Thursday. But until then, I'll see you guys later.

853
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,439
Speaker 2: That was great. I that was the best one by far.

854
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 2: I really there was storytelling. There were some takes. She

855
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 2: took a shot at at Lewis Hamilton haters. I feel

856
00:58:55,240 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 2: terrible Forspella back from the dead and the fact that

857
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 2: they're they're telling guy, this guy got a big contract

858
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 2: extension and then I mean can't play. Oh my goodness,

859
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,919
Speaker 2: it sounds like Sergio Perez is Ben Simmons. I don't

860
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 2: really know. That's probably unfair to Sergio, but regardless that is,

861
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 2: I love it. I also loved it. What Sierra said

862
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:23,479
Speaker 2: at the end is true. Even me, someone who knew

863
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 2: so little about F one before these F one minutes,

864
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 2: I felt what she said at the end was totally true,

865
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 2: which was it seemed not that exciting because the same

866
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 2: guy wins every time Verstappen was just it, just it,

867
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 2: And I don't know enough about car racing, but I'm like, well,

868
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 2: he just probably is the best car. Like this seems

869
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 2: a little unfair, like this guy just has the best car.

870
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 2: It just wins every.

871
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 3: Time, Like with the retirement and stuff. I mean, you

872
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 3: could drive F one cars until you're fifty.

873
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, that's what I would think. I would think

874
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 2: you just keep going. But she's saying, red Bull that

875
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 2: the gap is closing. So I that's great, love that

876
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 2: f one minute. Great job, Sierra. I'm now invested in

877
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 2: the Hungarian Grand Prix. Also, we're out of you know,

878
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 2: these next few months, not a lot of sports for

879
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 2: us to be watching. So I am going to I'm

880
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 2: now that Sierra's out here giving takes, I'm gonna start

881
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 2: watching the F one races in full and see if

882
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 2: I agree with her takes or not. All right, demons,

883
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 2: let's uh uh the lot. I know a lot of

884
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 2: people in the chat are asking the first things versus

885
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 2: back today. It is we're back, and aside from a

886
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 2: random day here or there because we're preempted by live sports,

887
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 2: we'll be back for the next month. Then we'll take

888
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 2: a week off in August at some point, and then

889
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 2: obviously it's football season and we don't take any time

890
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 2: off until after the Super Bowl. All right, What is

891
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 2: Cutlass saying.

892
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 3: Uh, snick neglecting sunscreen?

893
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:52,919
Speaker 2: I see, I want you can vouch for me, man,

894
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 2: I wasn't that sun was just appressed.

895
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 3: Now the sun was beaming. I don't think it. I

896
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 3: think if you live out here, you're you're gonna get burnt.

897
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 3: Like it's yeah, you're gonna get a little burnt.

898
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 2: And I didn't get as burnt as badly as I

899
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 2: could have. You got burnt for the first time in forever.

900
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 3: It's I've got like it looks my back looks crazy.

901
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 3: I've been moisturizing. But I also didn't put sunscreen on

902
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 3: for the first three days. Yeah, and I feel like

903
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 3: the first three days might have been some of our

904
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 3: most sun intensive ones. Yeah.

905
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, Ruli oh have says something similar, tan Nick.

906
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 2: That's how you know you're in the height of the

907
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:39,200
Speaker 2: yearly sports drought. That is correct. My complexion is inversely

908
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 2: correlated with how good the current sports calendar is, if

909
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 2: that makes sense, the better my complexion, the worse the

910
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 2: sports time of year is. When I am at my

911
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 2: absolute peak pasty is when the sports are at their

912
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 2: absolute best. And when I look actually like rested and

913
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 2: rejuvenated is when you know there's been nothing going on,

914
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 2: all right, Go to Scott Murphy.

915
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 3: Scott Murphy said, everyone talks about worse to first in

916
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 3: the NFL, But which team is most likely to go

917
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 3: first to worse this season? Uh?

918
01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 2: The which team is most likely to go I guess first?

919
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 2: They weren't first last year, Cowboys were team most likely

920
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 2: to go first to worst. That's a great question. Everyone's

921
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 2: answer is gonna be Tampa because the division. But just

922
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 2: throw that out because nobody cares about the NFC South.

923
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 2: So I don't even want you know what I mean,

924
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 2: I don't want to include them.

925
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 3: Wait the good They're not.

926
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 2: Gonna be Yeah, they're not gonna be worse than Minnesota.

927
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be Dallas. Buffalo is not gonna be

928
01:02:58,520 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 2: worse than.

929
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 3: New Cartie saying Franz they have too much talent.

930
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 2: Houston. I don't think, Oh Demanzi is gonna be so mad.

931
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 2: I've come up with my answer.

932
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 3: Wait, hold on, are you even okay? Go ahead?

933
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 2: Even? Oh yeah, I don't I'm not saying I'm not

934
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 2: picking it. But if I have to pick those in

935
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 2: Tampa's ineligible just because of how strong the division is,

936
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 2: I'll say Baltimore.

937
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 3: And Baltimore after Derrick Henry. All Right, I.

938
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 2: Don't well, I don't really care about the Derrick Henry edition. Sorry,

939
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 2: but again I thought the answer is probably none of them. Sorry,

940
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 2: I mean the answer is probably none of them. Uh No,

941
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 2: and no, I don't want Lamar coming for me again.

942
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 2: I don't don't post this Lamar and I I want

943
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 2: us to be friendly again. Uh go to Noah Rodriguez.

944
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 3: Uh No. Rodriguez asked a question for Nick. If Wimby

945
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 3: leads France to the gold medal, how would that affect

946
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 3: if you? How would that affect how you rank him

947
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 3: amongst NBA players going into next season?

948
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 2: It would matter? Oh if he leads them to the

949
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 2: gold and he's awesome, Oh, it would absolutely matter. He

950
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 2: would he would It would impact how I affect him.

951
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 2: But on that same note, again, I'm trying to be fair.

952
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 2: How should the fact that the team USA players by

953
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 2: a massive margin, voted Lebron the best player affect player rankings?

954
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, probably should affect a little bit. Uh,

955
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 2: Team USA. The players are like, yeah, Lebron's the best guy.

956
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 2: All right, what's the Let's go to Scott. I'm sorry,

957

959
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 3: Scott Fraser asked Nick, what do you think of Canada

960
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 3: going further than the USA, Mexico and Brazil.

961
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 2: I thought that was insane. I mean, shout out to Canada.

962
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:51,600
