0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>All Right, welcome in episode two forty eight, Fresh back

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 2>from vacation, hopefully, look like I was on vacation, uh

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 2>and got some great time, spend time with Demanse, celebrated

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 2>his birthday while we were there, some great family time.

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Demon's great to see you. That's the most time we've

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 2>spent together in you know, since you lived in New

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 2>York in a very long time. So that was that

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 2>was truly great. We had a wonderful vacation. I know

0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 2>we missed a lot. There was some very very significant,

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 2>obviously national non sports news with the attempted assassination of

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump, that which actually coincide coincided almost to the

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:36.759
<v Speaker 2>minute with some very significant personal news. So we will

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 2>wage our way through that about thirty minutes from now.

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 2>But before we do that, there's a lot to get

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>to and I want to stay focused on the sports

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 2>stuff that we missed, So let's get right into the show.

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Here's what missed the cut Patrick Beverly considering an allegedly

0:01:55.720 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 2>historic deal in Europe. Let's show. The tweet is Pat

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Bev gonna have the podcast translated to Russian or the

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 2>reporters covering him there gonna get a pass. That's from

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 2>May third, and it is looking Demond's a like a

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>classic two. I will see, we'll see. But the Bamani

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 2>used to always say, listen to me now, believe me

0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 2>later on that this the Pat Bev thing, seems to

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>be one of those categories. Kelsey and Mahomes go on

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 2>a double date. By the way, shout out to my

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 2>friend Patrick expecting child number three. It also has been

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 2>brought to my attention because the kids are named Silvers

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>or Sterling and Bronze, But I think that they're I

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 2>could be wrong on this. The Dogs of the family

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 2>I think are named platinum and gold or something along

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 2>those lines. So I'm not sure what precious metals mahomes

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 2>is gonna have left for baby number three, but I'm

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 2>very excited for that. And shout out to him and

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 2>his wonderful wife Brittany on the pending arrival of a

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>new family member. And Nick Chubb out here squatting five

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:10.359
<v Speaker 2>hundred and forty pounds shortly after less than a year

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 2>after suffering one of the most gruesome knee injuries you've

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 2>ever seen. That guy is just an unbelievable physical freak.

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Shout out to him, and hopefully he's back fully healthy

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 2>this year. But oh, steel and silver are the dog names,

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and sterling and bronze. Okay, so gold and platinum are available. Okay,

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 2>that's great. Thank you for the wonderful producers, and thank

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.640
<v Speaker 2>you to the people in the chat who are pointing

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 2>out there who were here early excited for us to

0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 2>get on the air. But demonse, let's get to a team.

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 2>USA had some exhibition games while we were going one

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 2>against Australia yesterday update.

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 3>US, so those exhibition games are now underway. We did

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 3>not cover against the spread. We won ninety eight ninety two.

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 3>A couple of things going on all a team in

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 3>the USA right now. Kauai got sent home, Katie is

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 3>now hurt, and Kurr is talking about potentially benching EMBIID.

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 3>So with us playing Serbia here soon, is there any

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 3>doubt in your mind that will take the cake? No?

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 2>So I think this is from a talent and still

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 2>in their prime, or guys who have aged out of

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 2>their prime but are still great perspective. This is the

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 2>best collection of talent and team USA history. I understand

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 2>that people say that sacrilege because of the ninety two

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:41.919
<v Speaker 2>Dream Team, but ninety two Bird was a shell of himself,

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Magic had just retired due to HIV, and you didn't

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 2>even have Isaiah Thomas on the team. So it just

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 2>wasn't the The collection of talent wasn't up to the

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 2>level that this team is. And now the rest of

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.160
<v Speaker 2>the world has gotten so much better. You're not to

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 2>beat you know, it's no beating in Gola by sixty points.

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 2>I understand that. But this team I think is unbeatable.

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 2>And if you people say, oh, well, that hasn't been

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 2>the game man we lost since the Dream Team, there

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 2>has been one year we did not win the goal.

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Since then, we have won I think twenty eight consecutive

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 2>games that that mattered, or I'm sorry we were twenty

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 2>eight to one in games that matter because we did

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:36.279
<v Speaker 2>lose an early round game in the non knockout stage

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 2>last year, and we win all these games by double digits.

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 2>What happened in the Australia game is they were up

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty four in an exhibition game in the second half

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.279
<v Speaker 2>and stop paying attention. So I so this is the

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 2>there and the Serbia tomorrow is kind of a bummer

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 2>because Serbia plays tonight against Australia, so there's a chance

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 2>that Jokic doesn't play in the Serbia game. But if

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 2>you look at the against the US. But if you

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 2>look at these rosters, yes, Canada has Shay, and Greece

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 2>has Giannis, and Serbia has Jokic, but none of these

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 2>teams have a second player that would make the Team

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:25.280
<v Speaker 2>USA roster. And we have answers for everything the other

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 2>team's going to try to do. So I am not

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>concerned in the least.

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Say it again to Mase, do you like speaking of

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 3>the rosters, like, do you think the Team USA roster

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 3>is up to par Is It how you would have it?

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I mean, are these the twelve guys I

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 2>would have picked? Obviously, it was a story recently that

0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Brown didn't get on the initial team and then

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:54.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't get picked when the replacement. I would have had

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Jalen on the team over Kawhi from the very beginning.

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 2>I think at this point Jalen obviously more reliable, and

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 2>you could argue just Flatley a better player. I do

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 2>understand them going Derek White. Now. Jalen thinks it's purely Nike,

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 2>and he might be correct. There is an argument to

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 2>be made that the roster construction should be eight stars

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 2>and four Derek White types, guys who are gonna find

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 2>if they don't play.

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 3>I apologize, go ahead, I guess. With it being Kawhi

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.119
<v Speaker 3>that was replaced, he wasn't a glue guy. It wasn't

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 3>like he was like those role player type of guys.

0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 2>It would one hundred percent agree, and they by the

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:42.040
<v Speaker 2>way they set put this roster together, it's very clear

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 2>they're not valuing glue guys like the on the initial roster.

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.239
<v Speaker 2>The closest thing to a glue guy if you would,

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 2>and this is insulting to him is Drew Holliday, and

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Drew Holliday is more than a glue guy, but a

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 2>guy who doesn't need shots and can just offend. So

0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 2>if I were the one putting the foster together, the

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>guys who probably would have been most the guys who

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 2>were on the initial roster that I would have said,

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure if we need them are Devin Booker, Kawhi,

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 2>and that really might be it, and I might have

0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 2>replaced them with just more specialists, if you will. And again,

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Devin Booker. That is not a knock on Devin Booker,

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.559
<v Speaker 2>but when you have Durant and now you can argue

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Bookers better than Durant. At this point you really can't

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 2>argue that Booker played really well against Australia. But I

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 2>do think there is a if Booker's better than Durant,

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:49.560
<v Speaker 2>it's close enough that the that the legacy part of it,

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 2>and you wanted to have the old guys together. I'm

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 2>fine with that. And if you the point I'm making

0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 2>is there are your concern is are there going to

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.560
<v Speaker 2>be guys on the team who are upset if they're

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 2>not getting shots and not getting minutes because they're stars,

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.959
<v Speaker 2>and would those roles be better filled with guys who

0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:18.480
<v Speaker 2>are just thrilled to be there and can do one

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:22.079
<v Speaker 2>thing really well. With all that said, it absolutely will

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.560
<v Speaker 2>not matter and Team USA is going to roll everyone.

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:31.319
<v Speaker 2>There is not a Argentina or a Spain or a

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.840
<v Speaker 2>France team from ten to twenty years ago where those

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 2>teams had been playing together and been crushing together for

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 2>a long time on this team in this field. So

0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually, I'm actually good with it. One more Team

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 2>USA follow up, Demanse No about the starting five.

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:54.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if you were giving the reins, who would be

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:57.559
<v Speaker 3>your starting five for a Team USA.

0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>So the reason I wanted to make sure you asked

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.680
<v Speaker 2>that was because on TV I gave out the starting

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.439
<v Speaker 2>five and then Steve Kerr said, you know what, Nick right,

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 2>You're exactly right. My starting five would have been the

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:12.679
<v Speaker 2>exact starting five that Steve Kerr ultimately picked. Anton Step

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 2>in your back court, Lebron and Tatum in your front

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:20.439
<v Speaker 2>court with Embiid playing center. Now, there is a chance

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:25.600
<v Speaker 2>that you mentioned Kerrs talking about benching Embiid. There's a

0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 2>chance that Anthony Davis could be the better option as

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 2>far as switchability, playing you know what I mean, playing

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:37.360
<v Speaker 2>a perimeter defensively, Embiid actually is the better option as

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.240
<v Speaker 2>far as spread, you know, playing a five out style,

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.679
<v Speaker 2>because he is a far better perimeter shooter than a

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 2>d But the starting five that Kerr went with is

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:55.439
<v Speaker 2>the exact starting five Wade Davis Embiid. Anthony Davis hasn't

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 2>been a good perimeter shooter since the bubble, and he

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 2>doesn't really shoot threes anymore. Embiid, on the other hands,

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 2>probably the best jump shooting big man certainly of the

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 2>last thirty years, and maybe ever he might just be

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 2>flatly the best jump shooting big man ever. But that's

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.840
<v Speaker 2>the other reason. Like you have embid Ad and Bam

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.559
<v Speaker 2>as center options. It's just a well built team. And

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 2>so the only question or concern that you're gonna have

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 2>is when the games really matter, it is you know,

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 2>is Haliburton or Booker or I mean those are Bam

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna be upset if they're not getting minutes. Derek White's

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be upset. He's not getting minutes. He's happy

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:44.440
<v Speaker 2>to be there, all right.

0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:48.840
<v Speaker 3>Next, So Jalen Brunson pulled sort of a Tom Brady.

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 3>He left some money on the table about one hundred

0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:54.720
<v Speaker 3>and thirteen million to keep that nice core together and

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 3>build on that chemistry. Do you think this makes a

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 3>lot of sense or do you think that he'll just

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 3>end up leaving that money on the table just to lose.

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Do you like, will they get anything done?

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:11.000
<v Speaker 2>So I want to talk about what he did because

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:16.839
<v Speaker 2>I this is the power of Woj and woje Wog's tweets,

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 2>because I'm not saying that what Wog wrote is incorrect.

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 2>What I am saying is it's set the conversation on

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:34.080
<v Speaker 2>a path that I think is a touch misleading. So Woj,

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 2>when he broke the news, called it an unprecedented move

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 2>in favor of team building to keep everyone together, et cetera.

0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:50.320
<v Speaker 2>And I don't feel that that is exactly right. And

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I honestly have felt that the coverage of this has

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 2>been again I've even been to be fair, I was

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.440
<v Speaker 2>out of the and I wasn't following it, you know,

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 2>day by day. So I don't know if it's right

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 2>to say the coverage of it has been lacking. But

0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 2>the initial coverage that I saw was a little to

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:18.960
<v Speaker 2>me unintentionally misleading because I don't look at this purely

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 2>as sorry, my computer just restarted. I don't look at

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 2>this purely as Jalen Brunson taking a team friendly discount.

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I look at it as Jalen Brunson hedging against catastrophic

0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 2>outcomes while maintaining ultimate long term upside. So to be clear,

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Brunson took five I'm sorry, four one p fifty seven

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 2>in a year he would have been eligible for five

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.760
<v Speaker 2>to seventy, so one hundred and thirteen million dollar delta

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:08.320
<v Speaker 2>there with an additional contract year on it. It was

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 2>to me presented a bit as if he had the

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 2>five to seventy available now and instead took four for

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 2>one point fifty seven. And that is flatly not. That

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:31.600
<v Speaker 2>is not what has happened here, So why does that matter.

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:39.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't view it purely as taking a discount if

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 2>the contract we're talking about is not actually available to

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 2>you until you play another year of basketball. And the

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 2>reason that that is relevant is because we have seen

0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:02.240
<v Speaker 2>so many times guys get get injured. Well I shouldn't

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 2>say so many times. It's the one instance everyone kind

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:10.520
<v Speaker 2>of thinks of, which is what happened with Isaiah Thomas.

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Isaiah Thomas played one you know, was getting ready to

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 2>get a max, suffered a hip injury and never got

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 2>any of that money, never got any of it. And

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 2>by taking this deal here, Jalen locks in four for

0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 2>one point fifty seven, which by the way, after three

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 2>years of he can opt out of if he's still

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 2>a star, and then sign that massive five for four

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.800
<v Speaker 2>hundred people have talked about and be an eighty million

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 2>dollar a year player, which is unbelievable million bucks a game,

0:15:53.040 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 2>but hedges against a catastrophic outcome or an injury, which

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 2>for a player of his size who hasn't yet made

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:11.239
<v Speaker 2>huge money, it's made great money. Huge money is super valuable.

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.960
<v Speaker 3>And when we talk about yourself.

0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, I so I that kind of but it's you

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 2>keep the to me. This is how I look at

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 2>the Jalen Brunson thing. In one hand, was the play

0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:41.000
<v Speaker 2>out this year, play well, sign the five for two

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 2>seventy right, and and then hope to still be great,

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, five years from now, and sign it one

0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>more really big contract and have some ceiling be put

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 2>on the nix ability to build out the rest of

0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.560
<v Speaker 2>that team those in one hand. In the other hand

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 2>was lock in right now four for one sixty while

0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 2>making it giving the Knicks a little more flexibility, but

0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 2>critically also keep being able to attain maximum money if

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.159
<v Speaker 2>you awesome for the next four years when you sign

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 2>your next deal. So of all the ranges of outcomes, right,

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:33.439
<v Speaker 2>if we were to again, I know this is a

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 2>little convoluted, but I think this is the right way

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 2>to look at it. If you're looking at it almost

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:45.080
<v Speaker 2>on a line, there is worst possible outcome, right, which

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:50.439
<v Speaker 2>is he gets hurt terribly this year and none of

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:56.840
<v Speaker 2>that money's there. That's the worst outcome, and that's now

0:17:56.880 --> 0:18:00.760
<v Speaker 2>removed entirely. That the next if we just go from

0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:08.159
<v Speaker 2>worst to best, the next outcome is he signs this deal,

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:13.679
<v Speaker 2>but what and is excellent this year and could have

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 2>signed the five for two seventy, but deprived himself of

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 2>that opportunity, And the next time he's available for free agency,

0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.200
<v Speaker 2>big money is not available to him. That is now possible.

0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:30.600
<v Speaker 2>The next outcome is would have been on the range

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 2>of outcomes, is awesome this year, signs the five for

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:40.600
<v Speaker 2>two seventy, doesn't get another big contract in five years,

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.000
<v Speaker 2>and he's locked into seventy. That's a little better than

0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:47.040
<v Speaker 2>the one I just said. The very best outcome is

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 2>signs this deal is awesome throughout and then signs one

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.119
<v Speaker 2>of the biggest deals in league history in four years.

0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 2>That's where you make the most money possible of any

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:04.680
<v Speaker 2>of me. Kind of what he did by doing this

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:11.720
<v Speaker 2>was remove the worst outcome possible entirely and remove the

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:17.840
<v Speaker 2>second best outcome, locking in a median outcome and still

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:23.480
<v Speaker 2>keeping the upside of the best possible outcome. So if

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 2>this were if this were deal or no deal, maybe

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 2>I should have done it like this. It would be

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:36.920
<v Speaker 2>as if on the on the board left is ten

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:43.760
<v Speaker 2>dollars one hundred thousand, a quarter of a million and

0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 2>a million, and what they are saying is, hey, we

0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:56.199
<v Speaker 2>will allow you to remove the ten dollars suitcase, but

0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:59.439
<v Speaker 2>you also have to give us the quarter of a

0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:03.840
<v Speaker 2>millionar suitcase. Think about it like that. I just realized it.

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.600
<v Speaker 2>This is exactly how I should have described it. You're

0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:11.640
<v Speaker 2>playing deal or no deal. There's four suitcases left, and

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:13.720
<v Speaker 2>by the way, you're never going to be allowed to

0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 2>take the deal. You're just gonna have to open suitcases.

0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 2>And what is on the board is ten dollars one

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand, two hundred and fifty thousand and a million,

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:29.720
<v Speaker 2>and they are saying to you, you can get rid

0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.520
<v Speaker 2>of the ten dollars one, but we are also taking

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.639
<v Speaker 2>away the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars one. So

0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:41.160
<v Speaker 2>the ultimate goal will still be available to you and

0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:46.919
<v Speaker 2>you remove all the significant downside, but you're trading in

0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 2>order to do that, you are trading out a really

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:53.439
<v Speaker 2>the second best possible outcome here quarter of a million

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:56.399
<v Speaker 2>bucks Jailen bruns And by the way, is an added bonus.

0:20:56.440 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna help you know your team. That's what jail

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Brunton did. So it is a great move for the Knicks.

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I think it is a smart move for him. But

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:11.760
<v Speaker 2>presenting it as if it were purely taking a lesser

0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.679
<v Speaker 2>deal when the bigger deal would not be available for

0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:21.800
<v Speaker 2>another year, I think misses some important context to the situation.

0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:28.240
<v Speaker 2>That's all. I hope that made sense to people. All right, Demonse, Let's.

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:33.600
<v Speaker 3>Go on to the next with that core staying intact,

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.560
<v Speaker 3>with Jayalen Brunton taking the cut, where do they where

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:38.680
<v Speaker 3>do they land line up for the best futures in

0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:40.560
<v Speaker 3>the finals.

0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, so as far as the best futures, I mean,

0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:49.000
<v Speaker 2>they've got their core locked in I still have questioned. Now.

0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 2>The other the other thing this allows for Demanse.

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:56.960
<v Speaker 3>Is the.

0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:01.760
<v Speaker 2>If they do decide they want to trade Julius Randall,

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't have to be like a pure salary dump.

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:10.640
<v Speaker 2>They can get back real salaries in return because they

0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:14.000
<v Speaker 2>have this added flexibility the next few years because of

0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Jalen's deal. So that's a positive. I like the team

0:22:18.280 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 2>they've built and they were really good last year.

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:24.480
<v Speaker 3>Say it again, don't they need a big right now?

0:22:26.400 --> 0:22:29.400
<v Speaker 2>They yes? I mean they have Mitchell Robinson, but they

0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 2>lost Hartenstein. Yes, they do need a big and that's

0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:35.560
<v Speaker 2>where I think maybe the Julius Randall trade could could

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:39.719
<v Speaker 2>come into play. But in the East, you really only

0:22:39.760 --> 0:22:44.280
<v Speaker 2>need a true big against Philly. In the West you

0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:47.440
<v Speaker 2>need a true big if you go up against Joker.

0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:50.800
<v Speaker 2>But you know the but they got to make the

0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:53.639
<v Speaker 2>finals and the Nuggets have gone Sorry Daniel a little

0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:57.440
<v Speaker 2>backwards and feel so sick. Nuggets draft pick Tours Achilles

0:22:57.480 --> 0:23:01.359
<v Speaker 2>this weekend in Summer League. That is brutal. Uh So,

0:23:01.720 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 2>I sorry, I only laughed because Daniel just chimed in

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:07.119
<v Speaker 2>into my ear for the first time all show. Just

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:09.919
<v Speaker 2>so brutal, just sounding press fall, and it's not funny.

0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:13.480
<v Speaker 2>It was just I just didn't expect to hear from

0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:17.399
<v Speaker 2>so I. It's not perfect. But by the way, the

0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Celtics big is out for the beginning of the season

0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:23.159
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll see. So there's right now, there's no

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 2>perfect rosters out there built. I do really like what

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:28.959
<v Speaker 2>Okac is built, and they got Hartenstein. But I think

0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:31.080
<v Speaker 2>the knick sture in great shape. They're in the best

0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:34.160
<v Speaker 2>shape they've been in in thirty years at least. All right.

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:38.399
<v Speaker 3>Next, so Bronni off the court is winning Call of

0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 3>duty tournaments. Bronni all in the court seems to be

0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:44.760
<v Speaker 3>struggling a little bit. He had had two points against

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:47.359
<v Speaker 3>the Celtics in the Summer League game over the weekend.

0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:49.440
<v Speaker 3>He admit that that he admits that he's in a

0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:52.600
<v Speaker 3>slump and wouldn't mind going to the G League. But

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:55.280
<v Speaker 3>his coach JJ Reddick thinks that he'd be something like

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:58.480
<v Speaker 3>lou Dort defensively. So I want to ask you, what

0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:02.040
<v Speaker 3>do you see from Bronnie so I.

0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:05.400
<v Speaker 2>So here's the thing. I think he's zero for fifteen

0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 2>from three, So that is obviously not going to not

0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:13.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna cut it, boys, And that's going to right now,

0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:17.679
<v Speaker 2>be up here. It's why right now he looks so

0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:21.280
<v Speaker 2>out of his depth, so to speak. It just it

0:24:21.359 --> 0:24:29.119
<v Speaker 2>doesn't And I believe in Brownie's instincts and his feel

0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:31.440
<v Speaker 2>for the game, and I do think he's a good

0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:34.600
<v Speaker 2>defensive place and I think it's it's go ahead, demanse.

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 3>No, exactly.

0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:35.680
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:38.000
<v Speaker 3>He does have the ability to stay in front. He's

0:24:38.119 --> 0:24:40.840
<v Speaker 3>very he can move his feet. He is a great defender.

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 3>I see that in him at the very least right now.

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:48.400
<v Speaker 2>But the problem with that is the great defender side

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:54.480
<v Speaker 2>of it is, Man, it is almost impossible to actually

0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:57.960
<v Speaker 2>be a great defender in the NBA at six to one,

0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:02.879
<v Speaker 2>and so the if he were six ' four, then

0:25:03.280 --> 0:25:06.440
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about something totally different. So, but the answer

0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:10.879
<v Speaker 2>is was always going to be that, yes, he needed

0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:14.160
<v Speaker 2>time in the G League. The answer was always going

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 2>to be that he should spend most of this year

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:20.320
<v Speaker 2>in the G league. I also think that he's clearly pressing,

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:24.119
<v Speaker 2>and that's understandable. There's a lot of scrutiny on a

0:25:24.240 --> 0:25:27.359
<v Speaker 2>kid who was the fifty to fifth pick. So any

0:25:27.440 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 2>idea that Bronni was going to no matter what he

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 2>did at summer League. Any idea that Bronni was going

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 2>to be a real contributor to the Lakers this year,

0:25:37.600 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I thought was foolish to begin with. I think that

0:25:40.119 --> 0:25:45.160
<v Speaker 2>these I think these next two years are development as

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:47.800
<v Speaker 2>is for a lot of second round picks. And you see,

0:25:48.119 --> 0:25:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I think he's handling it well. And I think that Listen,

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 2>basketball will be a cruel game. If you literally miss

0:25:54.440 --> 0:25:57.720
<v Speaker 2>every three you take, and that's going to be a

0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 2>majority of the shots you take, it it's going to

0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:03.480
<v Speaker 2>look awful and right now, that's how it is. And

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:07.000
<v Speaker 2>so the I also thought winning the Call of Duty

0:26:07.000 --> 0:26:09.439
<v Speaker 2>thing was actually a bummer because it just leads to

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:12.080
<v Speaker 2>people on the internet. It leads to an easy meme,

0:26:13.040 --> 0:26:16.040
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean of the internet sayings focused

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:17.000
<v Speaker 2>on the wrong stuff.

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:20.600
<v Speaker 3>But I go ahead, I mean no, I mean, I

0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:22.520
<v Speaker 3>don't know. I was gonna say, I bet he probably

0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:24.399
<v Speaker 3>didn't want to win that, because I feel like he

0:26:24.520 --> 0:26:26.040
<v Speaker 3>actually might think something about that.

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:30.840
<v Speaker 2>But but evidently, man the James family, lebron claims he's

0:26:30.920 --> 0:26:35.919
<v Speaker 2>top like two hundred in the world in Madden and

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:38.000
<v Speaker 2>then Bronni just won the Call of Duty thing. So

0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. All right, let's go to Caitlin Clark.

0:26:40.560 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 3>You do you want to talk at all about the

0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Jalen Brown lip reading what he said of the game

0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 3>with his new girlfriend. I think sounds like you said

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:51.040
<v Speaker 3>that he wasn't ready for the pros. Talking to le Bron, he.

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Said he's not an NBA player, and then Jalen sent

0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:55.960
<v Speaker 2>out a tweet that didn't really like take back what

0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:58.760
<v Speaker 2>he said, but you know, seemed to pay a compliment

0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:03.520
<v Speaker 2>to Lebron. I mean, listen, Brownie right now, is not

0:27:03.600 --> 0:27:06.080
<v Speaker 2>an NBA that that's not a that's not a harsh

0:27:06.160 --> 0:27:10.000
<v Speaker 2>assess now again, this is the the problem with taking

0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:17.560
<v Speaker 2>a guy's short statement and you know, extrapolating it. You

0:27:17.640 --> 0:27:20.960
<v Speaker 2>have no way of telling was he's saying like never

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:24.560
<v Speaker 2>will be an NBA player. That to me is premature

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:28.479
<v Speaker 2>and probably too harsh. Not an NBA player right now,

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:32.600
<v Speaker 2>that's accurate, and I think every again, this is the

0:27:32.600 --> 0:27:38.280
<v Speaker 2>point that I hope people understand. If the guy was

0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:45.440
<v Speaker 2>ready to be an NBA contributor this season, a team

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:47.760
<v Speaker 2>would have spent a first round pick on it. They

0:27:47.760 --> 0:27:51.359
<v Speaker 2>would not have cared that about what Rich Paul and

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Clutch and those guys are sayings like, no, if this

0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:56.640
<v Speaker 2>guy can help our team right now. But the vet

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the right, the that this majority of guys taken out

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 2>of the lottery are not NBA players day one, and

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:11.720
<v Speaker 2>almost note second round picks are. There's the rare exception

0:28:12.320 --> 0:28:15.200
<v Speaker 2>are NBA players day one. So yeah, I don't think

0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:18.879
<v Speaker 2>what Jalen said was unfair, and we don't have the

0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:24.320
<v Speaker 2>full context of it obviously, and so the but I

0:28:24.359 --> 0:28:26.760
<v Speaker 2>think that's probably about right. All right, let's do Kaitlin.

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:31.640
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Diana Tarrasi is dealing with an injury which could

0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:34.600
<v Speaker 3>hold her out of the Olympics. Kaitlyn Clark recently came

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:36.520
<v Speaker 3>out and said that her goal was still one day

0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 3>play for the Olympic team. Back when the roster was announced,

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:44.160
<v Speaker 3>she obviously hadn't earned it the fever with three and ten,

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:47.040
<v Speaker 3>but since then she's been on an eight and four run.

0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 3>She's averaging seventeen, ten and seven. So we're getting Kaitlyn

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Clark in the Olympics. Being now everybody's best interest.

0:28:55.560 --> 0:28:58.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it'd be in Caitlin's best interest. I

0:28:58.720 --> 0:29:03.240
<v Speaker 2>think that Kate having some time out of the spotlight

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:09.200
<v Speaker 2>and not having the Caitlin Clerk kind of media machine

0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:14.400
<v Speaker 2>overtake the coverage of the women's Olympic team would be

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:18.240
<v Speaker 2>better for her standing amongst her colleagues. And I think

0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:24.680
<v Speaker 2>having a month off to really like rest, recuperate and

0:29:24.800 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 2>truly be out of the spotlight for the first time

0:29:27.320 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 2>in a year plus would be excellent for her. I

0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:37.000
<v Speaker 2>also think every single one of my Caitlyn Clark takes

0:29:37.040 --> 0:29:41.040
<v Speaker 2>from during this season has been is being proven out

0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:45.200
<v Speaker 2>in real time, and it's glorious as a professional takes

0:29:45.240 --> 0:29:49.280
<v Speaker 2>mean to see when they were losing and she was struggling,

0:29:49.640 --> 0:29:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I told you it was the schedule and the back

0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 2>to backs and the teams they were playing. I told

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:58.360
<v Speaker 2>you that once they instead of playing three games in

0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:01.680
<v Speaker 2>four days, they were playing three games in ten days,

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 2>she would start rolling. I told you that by the

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 2>end of the year she would be one of the

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 2>ten best players in the league. I told you that

0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:12.760
<v Speaker 2>once the schedule saw oftened of the fever would be

0:30:12.800 --> 0:30:16.040
<v Speaker 2>firmly in the playoff race. And I told you that

0:30:16.080 --> 0:30:21.200
<v Speaker 2>there would be a lot of really dishonest actors when

0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:26.520
<v Speaker 2>it came to the Caitlin Angel debate, and that's happening already.

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:32.760
<v Speaker 2>The idea and I am on the record stamped as

0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:36.880
<v Speaker 2>someone for more than a year that has defended and

0:30:36.920 --> 0:30:40.840
<v Speaker 2>supported Angel Reese, and I'll continue to do so. But

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 2>I do I must say two things, and I don't

0:30:43.720 --> 0:30:46.800
<v Speaker 2>care who gets mad at me. Do not care. Thing.

0:30:46.880 --> 0:30:50.680
<v Speaker 2>One is this the idea that there was that the

0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Rookie of the Year race is close right now is

0:30:56.720 --> 0:31:01.200
<v Speaker 2>a historic a historical. Two, how Rookie of the Year

0:31:01.320 --> 0:31:06.040
<v Speaker 2>races have gone in all of sports forever. Angel Rees

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:09.640
<v Speaker 2>is having an excellent rookie season. She has been the

0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:13.959
<v Speaker 2>second best rookie clearly. But the problem with winning Rookie

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:17.400
<v Speaker 2>of the Year is it typically doesn't go to the

0:31:17.480 --> 0:31:21.560
<v Speaker 2>person who is clearly the second best rookie. So it

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:25.200
<v Speaker 2>is and this idea that it was, oh well, it

0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:28.440
<v Speaker 2>should go to Angel because her team had one more

0:31:28.520 --> 0:31:31.760
<v Speaker 2>win at one point that was nonsense. But also that

0:31:32.120 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 2>was a take that wasn't gonna age great just because

0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:38.720
<v Speaker 2>those records were going to shift and they already had.

0:31:39.280 --> 0:31:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Angel is having an excellent rookie year and is proving

0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 2>she is going to be a ten plus year really

0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 2>good player. Caitlin is having one of the best and

0:31:52.000 --> 0:31:56.200
<v Speaker 2>most productive and useful rookie years of any player ever

0:31:56.560 --> 0:32:00.600
<v Speaker 2>that's just what it is. That there is one right now,

0:32:00.840 --> 0:32:05.400
<v Speaker 2>clear flaw in her game, which is the turnovers are

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:10.840
<v Speaker 2>still an absurdly high number, but she, despite that, she

0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:14.560
<v Speaker 2>adds so much value to them offensively. So that's first point.

0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Second point is this, if we are going to treat

0:32:19.560 --> 0:32:23.920
<v Speaker 2>the WNBA like a real sport, which it deserves to

0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:26.720
<v Speaker 2>be treated like because it is. And if we're gonna

0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 2>treat these athletes like real athletes, which they deserve to

0:32:30.320 --> 0:32:33.680
<v Speaker 2>be treated like because they are, we must not be

0:32:33.800 --> 0:32:38.520
<v Speaker 2>patronizing in our coverage, which means the criticism of the

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:43.400
<v Speaker 2>actual basketball must be honest. And now is where I

0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:49.000
<v Speaker 2>will be honest. The last two games when that double

0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:53.200
<v Speaker 2>double streak was alive for Angel Reese, the hunting for

0:32:53.400 --> 0:32:58.200
<v Speaker 2>a double double in the final seconds of a blowout

0:32:58.400 --> 0:33:06.280
<v Speaker 2>in either direction is unbecoming of a great athlete. It

0:33:06.440 --> 0:33:10.040
<v Speaker 2>and if any male athlete were doing that, they would

0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:16.320
<v Speaker 2>get roasted. And so the the or right, there's plenty

0:33:16.360 --> 0:33:19.080
<v Speaker 2>of instances of it, and we're like, give me a break.

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:22.800
<v Speaker 2>And it's especially bad when it comes in a game

0:33:23.360 --> 0:33:27.400
<v Speaker 2>that is lopsided again, you know, in the other direction.

0:33:28.080 --> 0:33:31.480
<v Speaker 2>It's just not Maybe we should be okay with people scoring,

0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:34.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, with three seconds left in a blowout. We

0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:37.840
<v Speaker 2>have decided as a sports culture that that's against an

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:42.520
<v Speaker 2>unwritten rule. And I thought the double double especially, it'd

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:44.760
<v Speaker 2>be one thing if it's like a there's no good

0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:48.280
<v Speaker 2>comp for it, but like a you're going after Demaggio's

0:33:48.360 --> 0:33:53.520
<v Speaker 2>hitting streak. Like, but this double consecutive double double record

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:57.280
<v Speaker 2>was not exactly a pantheon record that like, oh my goodness,

0:33:57.560 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 2>we've been talking about this for and it all also

0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:02.920
<v Speaker 2>wasn't like I don't know what the number is, but

0:34:02.920 --> 0:34:05.880
<v Speaker 2>at one point Steph had something like has hit a

0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:11.080
<v Speaker 2>three in x hundred consecutive games. It wasn't some historic

0:34:11.280 --> 0:34:14.239
<v Speaker 2>multi year thing. It was a cool thing that had

0:34:14.280 --> 0:34:19.200
<v Speaker 2>happened for a moment, a bunch of new holidays. Oh

0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:25.279
<v Speaker 2>it just it felt it didn't feel like a So

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:27.720
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was a bad look. And I also

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:29.920
<v Speaker 2>think other people thought it was a bad look, and

0:34:29.960 --> 0:34:32.880
<v Speaker 2>we're afraid to say it because they don't want to.

0:34:33.280 --> 0:34:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I feel like there's so much paternalistic patriot patronizing of

0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:40.799
<v Speaker 2>the w n B. A let's treat it like a

0:34:40.840 --> 0:34:45.240
<v Speaker 2>real sport, which means there's sometimes you gotta rip people

0:34:45.680 --> 0:34:48.880
<v Speaker 2>like that's and then for all the court stuff like

0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:54.360
<v Speaker 2>it's and so that's that's my take. I hope Caitlin's

0:34:54.400 --> 0:34:56.400
<v Speaker 2>not in the Olympics. I think it's better for her

0:34:56.400 --> 0:34:59.880
<v Speaker 2>if she's not. And I think that she's already a

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:04.319
<v Speaker 2>problem and was it was that was inevitable because we

0:35:04.360 --> 0:35:07.799
<v Speaker 2>watched her in college and she was a historic problem.

0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:11.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, Uh, quick break, speaking of things I was

0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:14.279
<v Speaker 2>right about, I mean, I don't know. I just gave

0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:17.080
<v Speaker 2>out straight winners of the three biggest tournaments going on

0:35:17.160 --> 0:35:19.880
<v Speaker 2>in the world a month ago, right before they'd even started.

0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:29.000
<v Speaker 2>We'll discuss that next What's Right? All right, welcome back

0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 2>in What's Driving Nick Right? Episode two forty eight. So

0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:38.680
<v Speaker 2>the just full disclosure were the that the show's gonna

0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:43.000
<v Speaker 2>get really heavy in about five minutes. Uh, but just

0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:45.680
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of what this show's for. Sometimes it's actually

0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:48.160
<v Speaker 2>where it's not actually gonna get heavy in the way

0:35:48.200 --> 0:35:50.160
<v Speaker 2>you guys think, but it's gonna get heavy in about

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:53.640
<v Speaker 2>five minutes. But first, before we do that, let's do

0:35:54.200 --> 0:35:58.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe my favorite thing in sports media demons, which is

0:35:58.320 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 2>playback video of me being correct. So go ahead and

0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:04.000
<v Speaker 2>set it up for us if you would please.

0:36:04.480 --> 0:36:06.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So last time we were on here, you had

0:36:06.800 --> 0:36:09.399
<v Speaker 3>a couple of predictions, and we're gonna take a listen

0:36:09.480 --> 0:36:11.239
<v Speaker 3>here for the fans on YouTube.

0:36:11.280 --> 0:36:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh, let's take a listen. I'll go with Spain in

0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the Euros and in Copa I'm just gonna go with

0:36:19.600 --> 0:36:22.480
<v Speaker 2>Chalk and I'll just go with Argentina. You guys know,

0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:25.080
<v Speaker 2>I tend to always root for Brazil, but I think

0:36:25.080 --> 0:36:28.200
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be Argentina. I told you guys, I'm

0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:30.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna pick Alcarez to win every major for probably the

0:36:30.920 --> 0:36:33.279
<v Speaker 2>next five years, and I'll be right more often than

0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:40.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong. So anybody watch sports on Saturday, because here's

0:36:40.760 --> 0:36:43.360
<v Speaker 2>how it happened. You woke up in the morning, h

0:36:43.800 --> 0:36:46.480
<v Speaker 2>rub the sleep out of your eyes and al Corez

0:36:46.560 --> 0:36:49.440
<v Speaker 2>was already up two sets nothing on Joker and then

0:36:49.480 --> 0:36:52.359
<v Speaker 2>finish them off in a third set tie break check one.

0:36:52.880 --> 0:36:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Then maybe add your morning coffee, went on a little run.

0:36:57.320 --> 0:37:01.880
<v Speaker 2>I was on my third rum punch and watched Spain

0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:06.719
<v Speaker 2>play England in an epic. I say Saturday, this would

0:37:06.719 --> 0:37:09.240
<v Speaker 2>have been Sunday. Pardon me, Yeah, I have the days,

0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:14.040
<v Speaker 2>all the days running together in my head and watched

0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:21.279
<v Speaker 2>Spain play England in an epic match. I actually watched

0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:24.400
<v Speaker 2>it in a crowd. There were people from Spain there

0:37:24.440 --> 0:37:27.880
<v Speaker 2>on vacation and some English people on vacation, and I

0:37:27.960 --> 0:37:30.000
<v Speaker 2>told the English people ahead of time. I was like,

0:37:30.120 --> 0:37:32.480
<v Speaker 2>just so you know, I'm gonna be a little annoying,

0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:35.520
<v Speaker 2>but once Spain scores, I'll buy you all around a drinks.

0:37:35.520 --> 0:37:38.759
<v Speaker 2>They were incredibly gracious. It was great. Spain went up

0:37:38.800 --> 0:37:42.080
<v Speaker 2>won nothing. England had a great goal to tie it up.

0:37:42.400 --> 0:37:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Spain then scored in electrifying fashion in the eighty eighth

0:37:45.640 --> 0:37:50.719
<v Speaker 2>minute check to and then Argentina. After the disaster that

0:37:51.040 --> 0:37:57.480
<v Speaker 2>was the crowd control at COPA in Miami, Argentina in

0:37:57.520 --> 0:38:03.680
<v Speaker 2>the waning moments of extra time dealt with Columbia that trifecta.

0:38:03.840 --> 0:38:05.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it would have paid, but I

0:38:05.600 --> 0:38:11.440
<v Speaker 2>hope you bet it. Uh great listener viewer Twitter follow

0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Uh that I can't hold on what is his Twitter

0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:18.520
<v Speaker 2>name exactly? Bag Van something go ahead?

0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:23.399
<v Speaker 3>Adults behave that way to sports that I mean, you're

0:38:23.440 --> 0:38:27.480
<v Speaker 3>sneaking in through Vince. Oh you're grown here, so you're

0:38:27.480 --> 0:38:27.920
<v Speaker 3>an adult.

0:38:29.160 --> 0:38:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Well yes, that's crazy, but also well, well, a couple

0:38:35.680 --> 0:38:37.279
<v Speaker 2>of things by the way. The person I was trying

0:38:37.280 --> 0:38:41.560
<v Speaker 2>to shout out was his name is crisis actor Bagger Vance. Uh.

0:38:41.719 --> 0:38:44.439
<v Speaker 2>You can follow him on Twitter at mister Brandon twenty three.

0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:48.320
<v Speaker 2>He has been a longtime viewer and listener and friend

0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:52.480
<v Speaker 2>and I actually have watched a big either soccer game

0:38:52.560 --> 0:38:55.000
<v Speaker 2>or football game with him in Vegas before. I can't

0:38:55.000 --> 0:38:58.640
<v Speaker 2>remember if it was soccer or football, but regardless, Uh,

0:38:59.440 --> 0:39:02.640
<v Speaker 2>he got down on Alcarez and on Spain, and so

0:39:02.800 --> 0:39:08.279
<v Speaker 2>shout out to him. But the the thing, But what

0:39:08.440 --> 0:39:10.440
<v Speaker 2>was a shame with that demant was a lot of

0:39:10.440 --> 0:39:13.439
<v Speaker 2>people who had actual tickets then weren't being let in.

0:39:13.800 --> 0:39:15.640
<v Speaker 2>They had spent a ton of money, people had traveled.

0:39:15.680 --> 0:39:18.080
<v Speaker 2>It was a disaster. That thing was a was an

0:39:18.120 --> 0:39:21.759
<v Speaker 2>absolute disaster. But now that I'm done bragging about it,

0:39:21.760 --> 0:39:23.879
<v Speaker 2>what's the question here? Do we have a question here?

0:39:24.360 --> 0:39:28.440
<v Speaker 3>The I think yeah, yeah, I mean, so you obviously

0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:31.320
<v Speaker 3>predicted the Euros, Cope and Wimbledon. Do you want to

0:39:31.360 --> 0:39:34.600
<v Speaker 3>talk about Alcarez, Spain, Argentina or do you want to

0:39:34.640 --> 0:39:35.239
<v Speaker 3>gloat some more?

0:39:36.400 --> 0:39:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, I think we should talk Alcarez, uh, because

0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:44.440
<v Speaker 2>we put a cool graphic on social media about Alcarez's

0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:48.399
<v Speaker 2>start to his career, and by this age, no one

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:53.799
<v Speaker 2>has ever done more. Uh now that isn't Borg was

0:39:53.920 --> 0:39:57.239
<v Speaker 2>had the greatest start overall, but that we were talking

0:39:57.239 --> 0:40:01.239
<v Speaker 2>more about twenty five, and he retired early. Joker had

0:40:01.280 --> 0:40:03.719
<v Speaker 2>to deal with the fact that when he was young

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:07.359
<v Speaker 2>he's dealing with Federer and Nadal Nadala deal with when

0:40:07.360 --> 0:40:09.720
<v Speaker 2>he was young he's doing with Federer. Federer didn't really

0:40:09.920 --> 0:40:12.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, Federer, gott An early starting those other guys.

0:40:12.480 --> 0:40:18.359
<v Speaker 2>But this guy is just as uniquely talented as any

0:40:18.440 --> 0:40:20.839
<v Speaker 2>tennis player I can ever remember. And I'll just keep

0:40:20.880 --> 0:40:23.840
<v Speaker 2>picking him in every major. I'll watch him in the

0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:28.080
<v Speaker 2>US Open, uh here in a few weeks, maybe from

0:40:28.160 --> 0:40:31.440
<v Speaker 2>center court as one of the ball boys. As we discussed,

0:40:31.440 --> 0:40:34.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm auditioning for that next week, I think. So that

0:40:34.600 --> 0:40:40.440
<v Speaker 2>will keep you guys posted on. Of course, I don't

0:40:40.480 --> 0:40:42.239
<v Speaker 2>know if we'll see the light of day. We'll see

0:40:42.239 --> 0:40:45.680
<v Speaker 2>how I do. Demand's worried I'm gonna tear my Achilles.

0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:49.600
<v Speaker 2>Demanse was worried We're gonna be the torn Achilles father

0:40:49.719 --> 0:40:55.759
<v Speaker 2>son duo. I'm more worried of a clone hamstring. But

0:40:56.360 --> 0:40:59.799
<v Speaker 2>it'll be me, my buddy, Mark Carmon who's coming in

0:40:59.840 --> 0:41:03.839
<v Speaker 2>from Chicago to also audition. I think it's happening next week.

0:41:06.400 --> 0:41:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, Karen plays tennis almost every day. But Karen's

0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:14.400
<v Speaker 2>also old, man, I mean the and Karen's old and

0:41:14.440 --> 0:41:17.120
<v Speaker 2>he's carrying a little more weight than I am. So

0:41:17.200 --> 0:41:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but the that that'll be great. But

0:41:20.480 --> 0:41:25.280
<v Speaker 2>alcaz is the story. Argentina winning despite you know, Messi

0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:28.680
<v Speaker 2>getting hurt is great. And Spain just rolled this whole tournament.

0:41:29.160 --> 0:41:32.520
<v Speaker 2>Spain I think finished the tournament total goals. I think

0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:35.680
<v Speaker 2>they scored fifteen and allowed four. I mean, they were

0:41:35.760 --> 0:41:38.560
<v Speaker 2>they were just so clearly the best team, and so

0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:48.960
<v Speaker 2>shout out to them. Okay, consider this just bit catharsis

0:41:49.000 --> 0:41:53.600
<v Speaker 2>and a bit public service. So so I know, maybe

0:41:53.680 --> 0:41:56.680
<v Speaker 2>people feel an expectation or that I have an obligation

0:41:56.880 --> 0:42:02.239
<v Speaker 2>or something to talk about. Uh. The shooting at the

0:42:02.280 --> 0:42:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Trump rally on Saturday, and the last shooting at a

0:42:07.320 --> 0:42:12.760
<v Speaker 2>major event in America I was at, this was obviously different.

0:42:13.520 --> 0:42:17.960
<v Speaker 2>This was, you know, what was pretty clearly an assassination attempt.

0:42:19.400 --> 0:42:23.759
<v Speaker 2>First time we've had in this country a president or

0:42:23.920 --> 0:42:30.640
<v Speaker 2>former president or presidential candidate shot since Reagan in my lifetime,

0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:33.280
<v Speaker 2>like I vividly remember when the guy threw the shoe

0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:35.920
<v Speaker 2>at George W. Bush and I wasn't a George W.

0:42:36.000 --> 0:42:37.719
<v Speaker 2>Bush guy, and I was still bothered by it. I'm like,

0:42:37.719 --> 0:42:39.760
<v Speaker 2>what are you doing throwing a shoe at the president?

0:42:40.840 --> 0:42:45.320
<v Speaker 2>This obviously way, way, way scarier and worse. But I

0:42:45.360 --> 0:42:49.040
<v Speaker 2>don't really have a take on it. And it's I mean,

0:42:49.040 --> 0:42:50.759
<v Speaker 2>you guys know my take on guns. You guys know

0:42:50.840 --> 0:42:56.520
<v Speaker 2>my take on the easy accessibility of guns and so,

0:42:57.520 --> 0:42:59.040
<v Speaker 2>but I also don't have a take on it because

0:42:59.080 --> 0:43:03.440
<v Speaker 2>I oddly have spent very little time thinking about it.

0:43:04.280 --> 0:43:09.480
<v Speaker 2>And that's because, like, literally fifteen minutes before that news broke,

0:43:12.840 --> 0:43:15.239
<v Speaker 2>I think I dealt with the saddest moment of my

0:43:15.280 --> 0:43:23.000
<v Speaker 2>life and it wasn't even my tragedy specifically. And so

0:43:23.120 --> 0:43:25.000
<v Speaker 2>there'll be a moral to this story, I promise.

0:43:25.800 --> 0:43:25.920
<v Speaker 3>So.

0:43:28.440 --> 0:43:40.120
<v Speaker 2>I my wife has a dear friend. If you follow

0:43:40.120 --> 0:43:43.399
<v Speaker 2>my wife on social media, you've seen pictures of her.

0:43:43.400 --> 0:43:48.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to Her name's Ashley, and Ashley is

0:43:48.080 --> 0:43:55.680
<v Speaker 2>closer to Demands's age than my age, just recently turned thirty.

0:43:55.800 --> 0:44:06.240
<v Speaker 2>And uh Ashley, who helped Danielle build this store, who

0:44:06.440 --> 0:44:14.280
<v Speaker 2>has been a true light in our family's life passed

0:44:14.320 --> 0:44:19.200
<v Speaker 2>away of natural causes unexpectedly in her sleep Friday night,

0:44:20.120 --> 0:44:25.560
<v Speaker 2>and like fifteen minutes before the Trump shooting happened, I

0:44:25.560 --> 0:44:27.640
<v Speaker 2>had pulled back up to our house. We were out

0:44:27.680 --> 0:44:31.120
<v Speaker 2>on vacation, and my wife met me at the door

0:44:32.400 --> 0:44:38.880
<v Speaker 2>and I knew someone had died. I just you just

0:44:39.080 --> 0:44:41.560
<v Speaker 2>know it because of the look on her face and

0:44:41.600 --> 0:44:46.279
<v Speaker 2>the tears, And at that moment, you're just you're just

0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:52.480
<v Speaker 2>in that split seconds you kind of go to people

0:44:52.480 --> 0:44:58.640
<v Speaker 2>in your life who are older. And when she told

0:44:58.680 --> 0:45:06.680
<v Speaker 2>me who it was, it might it buckled me because

0:45:06.680 --> 0:45:12.480
<v Speaker 2>it's the death is awful, and I all these things

0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:18.719
<v Speaker 2>are awful, but the sudden death of a as far

0:45:18.760 --> 0:45:25.760
<v Speaker 2>as you know, fully healthy young persons, nothing that prepares

0:45:25.800 --> 0:45:28.239
<v Speaker 2>you for it. And when I say it was the

0:45:28.280 --> 0:45:32.160
<v Speaker 2>saddest moment of my life, it was this pain on

0:45:32.239 --> 0:45:38.279
<v Speaker 2>my wife's face, whatever pain I'm dealing with. But then

0:45:38.600 --> 0:45:44.759
<v Speaker 2>our baby, our ten year old Deanna, this she called

0:45:44.760 --> 0:45:48.440
<v Speaker 2>her t t Ashley. She she stayed at Ashley's house.

0:45:48.520 --> 0:45:51.000
<v Speaker 2>She this was a on on the fourth of July.

0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:54.120
<v Speaker 2>It was me, Danielle, Deanna and Ashley. This is fourth July.

0:45:54.920 --> 0:45:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Let I don't know how many days ago that was

0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:03.200
<v Speaker 2>watching fireworks. They're spending a beautiful day together, beautiful day

0:46:05.120 --> 0:46:11.120
<v Speaker 2>and uh and nothing prepares you as a parent. Tell

0:46:11.120 --> 0:46:13.239
<v Speaker 2>your kid that nothing prepares you as a kid for that.

0:46:14.760 --> 0:46:18.239
<v Speaker 2>And the shriek from Deanna and all these things they're

0:46:18.239 --> 0:46:21.480
<v Speaker 2>just seared in my memory. So I'm saying this because

0:46:21.480 --> 0:46:26.040
<v Speaker 2>it's a little cathartic, because I you know, I don't

0:46:26.080 --> 0:46:30.360
<v Speaker 2>feel as sad as I am. It is a true,

0:46:31.280 --> 0:46:38.399
<v Speaker 2>true life, shaking earthquake of a tragedy for my wife

0:46:38.480 --> 0:46:43.799
<v Speaker 2>and my daughter, and incredibly sad for everyone, and as

0:46:43.840 --> 0:46:46.640
<v Speaker 2>sad as it is for them. My wife and I

0:46:46.719 --> 0:46:51.879
<v Speaker 2>were with Ashley's mother and brother last night, and it's

0:46:52.000 --> 0:46:56.160
<v Speaker 2>not something you I tried to. You know, you don't

0:46:56.200 --> 0:47:00.360
<v Speaker 2>know what to do. So I'm saying it here because

0:47:00.520 --> 0:47:03.560
<v Speaker 2>it is part of, I guess, the grieving process. But

0:47:03.600 --> 0:47:10.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm also saying it here because I really, really really

0:47:10.760 --> 0:47:16.800
<v Speaker 2>hope that someone listening or watching, and I know it's cliche,

0:47:16.800 --> 0:47:25.960
<v Speaker 2>but god, it's true. Here's this and reconnects with someone

0:47:26.239 --> 0:47:33.360
<v Speaker 2>or reaches out to someone, or buries a hatchet with someone,

0:47:33.560 --> 0:47:42.560
<v Speaker 2>because god damn man, some of these things literally take

0:47:42.640 --> 0:47:50.400
<v Speaker 2>your breath away and you don't get the chances to

0:47:50.440 --> 0:47:54.600
<v Speaker 2>say goodbye or tell people how much you love them.

0:47:55.800 --> 0:47:59.520
<v Speaker 2>And I am feel incredibly blessed that that wasn't the

0:47:59.560 --> 0:48:03.480
<v Speaker 2>case with my family and Ashley, she know, she knew,

0:48:04.400 --> 0:48:07.359
<v Speaker 2>knows new. I don't know how much we love her

0:48:08.280 --> 0:48:10.759
<v Speaker 2>and how special and important she was and what a

0:48:11.160 --> 0:48:16.040
<v Speaker 2>bright light in this world she was. But that's not

0:48:16.080 --> 0:48:21.720
<v Speaker 2>always the case, and I'm sure there are some people

0:48:22.880 --> 0:48:25.440
<v Speaker 2>who didn't get that chance.

0:48:26.680 --> 0:48:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:48:28.160 --> 0:48:34.200
<v Speaker 2>And it's also unique, I uh, I dealt with as

0:48:34.200 --> 0:48:39.359
<v Speaker 2>a kid, oddly a lot of death, just I add,

0:48:39.440 --> 0:48:44.960
<v Speaker 2>a very blessed childhood, but a lot of death was

0:48:45.000 --> 0:48:51.680
<v Speaker 2>like the one thing, but almost none of its sudden.

0:48:53.520 --> 0:48:59.040
<v Speaker 2>One one, the guy I called uncle John, John great Man,

0:48:59.160 --> 0:49:02.920
<v Speaker 2>John Tivetten, uh was a firefighter with my father and

0:49:03.280 --> 0:49:08.520
<v Speaker 2>died in a fire. And so I I remember that.

0:49:09.080 --> 0:49:12.799
<v Speaker 2>I remember that. That's a seared memory. It's inside out,

0:49:12.840 --> 0:49:14.960
<v Speaker 2>one of those core memories of the bad ones though,

0:49:15.040 --> 0:49:19.840
<v Speaker 2>the blue ones. And I remember my mom shriek. I

0:49:20.280 --> 0:49:24.080
<v Speaker 2>remember the whole thing, but the but all the other death,

0:49:24.160 --> 0:49:26.719
<v Speaker 2>it was people were sick. People they were old, they

0:49:26.760 --> 0:49:28.480
<v Speaker 2>were sick, or they were young and they were sick,

0:49:28.600 --> 0:49:33.400
<v Speaker 2>and you got a run up, and that's hardening of

0:49:33.440 --> 0:49:37.640
<v Speaker 2>itself because you're kind of like forever grieving, pre grieving

0:49:37.760 --> 0:49:48.080
<v Speaker 2>all of it. But uh, but nothing, nothing I've ever

0:49:48.200 --> 0:49:54.279
<v Speaker 2>experienced as was like Sunday nothing. And there's there's no

0:49:54.520 --> 0:50:02.000
<v Speaker 2>there's no blueprint or instruction manual what to do and

0:50:02.120 --> 0:50:05.279
<v Speaker 2>I and there's there's there's no right or wrong way.

0:50:05.360 --> 0:50:08.760
<v Speaker 2>But the reason I am bringing this to this audience

0:50:08.840 --> 0:50:20.200
<v Speaker 2>today is because maybe, just maybe, if somebody will reach

0:50:20.280 --> 0:50:23.959
<v Speaker 2>out to someone and tell them they love them. And

0:50:24.400 --> 0:50:31.680
<v Speaker 2>the reason that I even mentioned the Trump piece of

0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:34.360
<v Speaker 2>it was not just because of the duality of the time.

0:50:35.040 --> 0:50:39.520
<v Speaker 2>It was literally I was on the ground consoling my

0:50:39.600 --> 0:50:44.040
<v Speaker 2>wife and one of my dear friends text me and said,

0:50:44.040 --> 0:50:46.880
<v Speaker 2>did you see what happened? And so it was simultaneous

0:50:46.880 --> 0:50:49.600
<v Speaker 2>basically when we got the news and when that happened.

0:50:50.960 --> 0:50:56.280
<v Speaker 2>But because these next few months at the very least

0:50:56.400 --> 0:51:05.319
<v Speaker 2>are going to be a very very tumultuous time in

0:51:05.320 --> 0:51:09.160
<v Speaker 2>our nation, as all presidential election seasons are, but particularly

0:51:09.680 --> 0:51:13.239
<v Speaker 2>the last few, and having one of the candidates recently

0:51:13.320 --> 0:51:17.200
<v Speaker 2>be the victim of an assassination attempt only ups the

0:51:17.239 --> 0:51:20.400
<v Speaker 2>ante on that massively, and there's going to be a

0:51:20.440 --> 0:51:28.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of people who are just every every minute of

0:51:28.040 --> 0:51:35.000
<v Speaker 2>the day refreshing Twitter and staying angry and staying online

0:51:35.200 --> 0:51:38.040
<v Speaker 2>and staying in their phones, and all of it, for

0:51:38.120 --> 0:51:40.920
<v Speaker 2>good or for bad, it's been. Presidential elections are important.

0:51:40.920 --> 0:51:45.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm not trying to act like they're not. But man,

0:51:45.440 --> 0:51:48.920
<v Speaker 2>when I tell you, like, none of it could feel

0:51:49.320 --> 0:51:51.680
<v Speaker 2>less relevant to me in that moment, even though I

0:51:51.760 --> 0:51:55.080
<v Speaker 2>knew the gravity intellectually of what happened. So I say

0:51:55.120 --> 0:51:59.960
<v Speaker 2>that in that, hold your people close, hold them close,

0:52:01.160 --> 0:52:07.120
<v Speaker 2>and be there for your people, and and be in

0:52:07.160 --> 0:52:10.440
<v Speaker 2>the moment when you have those moments, especially over these

0:52:10.480 --> 0:52:13.040
<v Speaker 2>next few months when we're gonna have a lot of

0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:17.160
<v Speaker 2>media and a lot of things that are going to

0:52:17.239 --> 0:52:22.080
<v Speaker 2>get us distract us from the stuff that truly matters.

0:52:22.960 --> 0:52:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Because sometimes you have a true angel come into your

0:52:27.480 --> 0:52:32.680
<v Speaker 2>life just a few years ago, touch every person in it,

0:52:34.840 --> 0:52:38.160
<v Speaker 2>leave an impact on every person in it, have all

0:52:38.239 --> 0:52:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the potential in the world to do amazing things, and

0:52:47.080 --> 0:52:56.840
<v Speaker 2>something happens in her brain while she's sleeping. I really

0:52:56.920 --> 0:53:01.920
<v Speaker 2>really appreciate you, guys as an audience, me feeling safe

0:53:01.960 --> 0:53:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and comfortable enough to share this with you, and I

0:53:06.760 --> 0:53:12.560
<v Speaker 2>really really feel blessed to have met this young woman

0:53:13.400 --> 0:53:16.879
<v Speaker 2>and to have had her impact my family the way

0:53:16.920 --> 0:53:22.200
<v Speaker 2>it has, And as I privately committed to her mother,

0:53:23.360 --> 0:53:31.319
<v Speaker 2>I publicly commit just to myself to be there in

0:53:31.360 --> 0:53:38.239
<v Speaker 2>every way possible for her family and the people in

0:53:39.480 --> 0:53:42.040
<v Speaker 2>hour in her community that are really suffering right now

0:53:43.360 --> 0:53:53.319
<v Speaker 2>through a true impossibility. Okay, the only thing that could

0:53:53.320 --> 0:53:56.279
<v Speaker 2>possibly make me feel better right now is seeing a

0:53:56.280 --> 0:54:01.160
<v Speaker 2>different one of my favorite people in the world give

0:54:01.239 --> 0:54:08.200
<v Speaker 2>us a long overdue update on F one. So a

0:54:08.239 --> 0:54:12.319
<v Speaker 2>three week overdue F one minute plus some listener questions. Next,

0:54:12.360 --> 0:54:21.839
<v Speaker 2>what's right? All right? Welcome back in What's right with Nick? Right?

0:54:21.960 --> 0:54:26.919
<v Speaker 2>So I demon say this will make you laugh, which

0:54:26.960 --> 0:54:28.160
<v Speaker 2>is probably necessary.

0:54:28.200 --> 0:54:28.439
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:54:28.719 --> 0:54:33.920
<v Speaker 2>I forgot to tell Sierra about our intermittent recording schedule

0:54:33.960 --> 0:54:37.000
<v Speaker 2>because of Vegas and then because of vacation. So poor

0:54:37.120 --> 0:54:41.479
<v Speaker 2>Sierra has been recording F one minutes left and right.

0:54:43.440 --> 0:54:46.160
<v Speaker 3>We've got three four minutes.

0:54:47.200 --> 0:54:49.880
<v Speaker 2>I think we might have four that you know what

0:54:49.880 --> 0:54:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, have like have not seen the light of day.

0:54:52.200 --> 0:54:55.080
<v Speaker 2>We're not gonna play those four. I told her sheepishly

0:54:56.239 --> 0:55:02.480
<v Speaker 2>this week that well, as it happens, we were all

0:55:02.560 --> 0:55:05.320
<v Speaker 2>scheduled off the air and then off the air and whatever.

0:55:07.160 --> 0:55:10.879
<v Speaker 2>So the so I asked Sierra to record a new

0:55:10.880 --> 0:55:15.520
<v Speaker 2>one updating us on everything we've missed since the last

0:55:15.600 --> 0:55:19.239
<v Speaker 2>F one minute actually made the air. So here is

0:55:19.320 --> 0:55:25.279
<v Speaker 2>Sierra Fiddel, our F one expert, in full F one regalia,

0:55:25.360 --> 0:55:29.560
<v Speaker 2>with a new microphone camera and everything set up with

0:55:29.960 --> 0:55:33.520
<v Speaker 2>our latest F one minute.

0:55:33.760 --> 0:55:35.920
<v Speaker 4>Welcome back to F one minute. It's been a while.

0:55:36.080 --> 0:55:38.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm finding the urge to say it's been a minute,

0:55:38.760 --> 0:55:41.600
<v Speaker 4>but it's been a while since you last spoken it

0:55:41.640 --> 0:55:43.759
<v Speaker 4>and we have a lot to discuss, so we're just

0:55:43.760 --> 0:55:47.560
<v Speaker 4>gonna get straight into it. So we're halfway into the season.

0:55:47.680 --> 0:55:50.560
<v Speaker 4>It's been a very competitive one. We have six different

0:55:50.600 --> 0:55:55.600
<v Speaker 4>race winners and one of them being Lewis Hamilton. If

0:55:55.640 --> 0:55:59.160
<v Speaker 4>you don't understand how much weight that carries. Louis Hamilton

0:55:59.200 --> 0:56:02.319
<v Speaker 4>hasn't won a race in over two years, and he's

0:56:02.320 --> 0:56:05.120
<v Speaker 4>one of the most iconic, if not the most iconic

0:56:05.200 --> 0:56:08.239
<v Speaker 4>driver the sport has ever had, and he's still participating

0:56:08.280 --> 0:56:11.320
<v Speaker 4>in the sport today. And ever since Maxis happened joined

0:56:11.320 --> 0:56:13.960
<v Speaker 4>the scene, it's been an absolute wreck for Mercedes and

0:56:13.960 --> 0:56:16.680
<v Speaker 4>it's been wrecked for him, but he's won. He won

0:56:16.840 --> 0:56:21.160
<v Speaker 4>at Silverstone and it's home race. And this is important

0:56:21.239 --> 0:56:25.560
<v Speaker 4>because this is his last Silverstone race as Mercedes driver

0:56:25.880 --> 0:56:27.920
<v Speaker 4>because he will be going to Ferrari next year. He

0:56:27.880 --> 0:56:31.600
<v Speaker 4>will be replacing Carlos Signs. And this is also a

0:56:31.640 --> 0:56:33.919
<v Speaker 4>big deal because he's been with Mercedes ever since twenty

0:56:34.120 --> 0:56:37.279
<v Speaker 4>thirteen and he has most of his wins with Mercedes.

0:56:37.360 --> 0:56:40.440
<v Speaker 4>So they're like this and he's leaving, and it was

0:56:40.520 --> 0:56:42.680
<v Speaker 4>just an emotional moment. He was crying on the radio.

0:56:42.920 --> 0:56:46.000
<v Speaker 4>It was a big moment for the fans. For especially

0:56:46.040 --> 0:56:48.040
<v Speaker 4>if you're a Lewis Hampton fan. I'm pretty sure that

0:56:48.120 --> 0:56:50.600
<v Speaker 4>was like the best moment of your entire life. There

0:56:50.600 --> 0:56:53.520
<v Speaker 4>are men of tears, many tears vers, but it was

0:56:53.640 --> 0:56:56.400
<v Speaker 4>it was like the best moment thus far was to

0:56:56.400 --> 0:56:59.360
<v Speaker 4>see Lewis Hampton win at Silverstone. And if you disagree,

0:56:59.600 --> 0:57:03.480
<v Speaker 4>you are just a hater in general. Like other headlines, Wow,

0:57:03.640 --> 0:57:06.600
<v Speaker 4>some really big headliness going on right now. Is this

0:57:06.719 --> 0:57:11.839
<v Speaker 4>whole idea of driver swaps mid season. That's what Louis

0:57:11.840 --> 0:57:14.960
<v Speaker 4>Hempson is doing is big swap. But that's next season.

0:57:15.120 --> 0:57:17.880
<v Speaker 4>We have drivers at the moment who are considered being

0:57:17.960 --> 0:57:20.760
<v Speaker 4>booted out of their seats as we speak. These drivers

0:57:20.840 --> 0:57:23.400
<v Speaker 4>want the top one being Surgery Uprocris. He's done a

0:57:23.480 --> 0:57:28.400
<v Speaker 4>terrible job. And it's funny because they've actually extended his contract,

0:57:28.440 --> 0:57:30.960
<v Speaker 4>but ever since that was released, it's like it put

0:57:31.320 --> 0:57:33.280
<v Speaker 4>a spell on him and it caused him to do

0:57:33.320 --> 0:57:36.440
<v Speaker 4>the opposite. They've even gone to the extent of allowing

0:57:36.480 --> 0:57:40.320
<v Speaker 4>somebody else to test their car with talks of replacement.

0:57:40.480 --> 0:57:43.000
<v Speaker 4>But there's other there's other drivers. There's drivers like Logan

0:57:43.080 --> 0:57:46.280
<v Speaker 4>Sergeant as well in Oakon, Daniel Ricardo. All these drivers

0:57:46.320 --> 0:57:48.560
<v Speaker 4>are being there's talk is about them being replaced as

0:57:48.600 --> 0:57:51.480
<v Speaker 4>we speak. So my last point for what's going on

0:57:51.600 --> 0:57:53.800
<v Speaker 4>in the F one world right now would just be

0:57:53.880 --> 0:57:56.360
<v Speaker 4>how competitive this season has been thus far. It's been

0:57:56.400 --> 0:57:59.880
<v Speaker 4>a complete masters sabredominance for the last few seasons, and

0:58:00.000 --> 0:58:04.320
<v Speaker 4>and that makes it not exciting, like we already know

0:58:04.320 --> 0:58:06.720
<v Speaker 4>who's gonna win. It's really just like a battle per second,

0:58:06.800 --> 0:58:08.560
<v Speaker 4>like who's gonna win second, because we already know who's

0:58:08.560 --> 0:58:11.680
<v Speaker 4>gonna win first. But we can't really have we can't

0:58:11.680 --> 0:58:14.160
<v Speaker 4>really approach these Grand Prix with that same attitude anymore

0:58:14.200 --> 0:58:19.160
<v Speaker 4>because we're starting to see a red red well down downhill.

0:58:19.320 --> 0:58:23.120
<v Speaker 4>Now they are still winning in the drivers and the

0:58:23.160 --> 0:58:28.360
<v Speaker 4>Constructors Championships, but that doesn't mean that they're not under

0:58:28.400 --> 0:58:31.160
<v Speaker 4>a threat, and that's what makes it fun. So that's

0:58:31.160 --> 0:58:34.600
<v Speaker 4>been your F a minute for this Tuesday. Super excited

0:58:34.640 --> 0:58:37.320
<v Speaker 4>times for the sport. It's race week, so I'll be

0:58:37.360 --> 0:58:39.960
<v Speaker 4>talking about the hungering and Grand Prix happening on Sunday

0:58:40.080 --> 0:58:42.920
<v Speaker 4>on Thursday. But until then, I'll see you guys later.

0:58:44.480 --> 0:58:47.439
<v Speaker 2>That was great. I that was the best one by far.

0:58:48.000 --> 0:58:51.320
<v Speaker 2>I really there was storytelling. There were some takes. She

0:58:51.440 --> 0:58:55.160
<v Speaker 2>took a shot at at Lewis Hamilton haters. I feel

0:58:55.240 --> 0:59:00.280
<v Speaker 2>terrible Forspella back from the dead and the fact that

0:59:00.280 --> 0:59:03.400
<v Speaker 2>they're they're telling guy, this guy got a big contract

0:59:03.440 --> 0:59:08.280
<v Speaker 2>extension and then I mean can't play. Oh my goodness,

0:59:08.560 --> 0:59:11.919
<v Speaker 2>it sounds like Sergio Perez is Ben Simmons. I don't

0:59:11.920 --> 0:59:16.880
<v Speaker 2>really know. That's probably unfair to Sergio, but regardless that is,

0:59:17.280 --> 0:59:20.680
<v Speaker 2>I love it. I also loved it. What Sierra said

0:59:20.680 --> 0:59:23.479
<v Speaker 2>at the end is true. Even me, someone who knew

0:59:23.680 --> 0:59:26.480
<v Speaker 2>so little about F one before these F one minutes,

0:59:27.200 --> 0:59:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I felt what she said at the end was totally true,

0:59:29.240 --> 0:59:32.000
<v Speaker 2>which was it seemed not that exciting because the same

0:59:32.040 --> 0:59:36.160
<v Speaker 2>guy wins every time Verstappen was just it, just it,

0:59:36.280 --> 0:59:39.320
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know enough about car racing, but I'm like, well,

0:59:39.360 --> 0:59:41.800
<v Speaker 2>he just probably is the best car. Like this seems

0:59:41.800 --> 0:59:43.880
<v Speaker 2>a little unfair, like this guy just has the best car.

0:59:43.920 --> 0:59:44.960
<v Speaker 2>It just wins every.

0:59:44.800 --> 0:59:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Time, Like with the retirement and stuff. I mean, you

0:59:47.440 --> 0:59:49.840
<v Speaker 3>could drive F one cars until you're fifty.

0:59:49.920 --> 0:59:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, that's what I would think. I would think

0:59:52.480 --> 0:59:55.160
<v Speaker 2>you just keep going. But she's saying, red Bull that

0:59:55.280 --> 0:59:59.040
<v Speaker 2>the gap is closing. So I that's great, love that

0:59:59.120 --> 1:00:02.040
<v Speaker 2>f one minute. Great job, Sierra. I'm now invested in

1:00:02.040 --> 1:00:05.400
<v Speaker 2>the Hungarian Grand Prix. Also, we're out of you know,

1:00:05.480 --> 1:00:07.560
<v Speaker 2>these next few months, not a lot of sports for

1:00:07.640 --> 1:00:10.760
<v Speaker 2>us to be watching. So I am going to I'm

1:00:10.840 --> 1:00:14.000
<v Speaker 2>now that Sierra's out here giving takes, I'm gonna start

1:00:14.040 --> 1:00:16.720
<v Speaker 2>watching the F one races in full and see if

1:00:16.720 --> 1:00:20.280
<v Speaker 2>I agree with her takes or not. All right, demons,

1:00:20.720 --> 1:00:24.080
<v Speaker 2>let's uh uh the lot. I know a lot of

1:00:24.080 --> 1:00:26.520
<v Speaker 2>people in the chat are asking the first things versus

1:00:26.560 --> 1:00:30.080
<v Speaker 2>back today. It is we're back, and aside from a

1:00:30.200 --> 1:00:33.640
<v Speaker 2>random day here or there because we're preempted by live sports,

1:00:34.080 --> 1:00:36.880
<v Speaker 2>we'll be back for the next month. Then we'll take

1:00:36.920 --> 1:00:39.560
<v Speaker 2>a week off in August at some point, and then

1:00:39.800 --> 1:00:42.120
<v Speaker 2>obviously it's football season and we don't take any time

1:00:42.160 --> 1:00:44.880
<v Speaker 2>off until after the Super Bowl. All right, What is

1:00:44.960 --> 1:00:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Cutlass saying.

1:00:46.760 --> 1:00:49.080
<v Speaker 3>Uh, snick neglecting sunscreen?

1:00:49.160 --> 1:00:52.919
<v Speaker 2>I see, I want you can vouch for me, man,

1:00:53.480 --> 1:00:57.320
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't that sun was just appressed.

1:00:57.320 --> 1:01:00.640
<v Speaker 3>Now the sun was beaming. I don't think it. I

1:01:01.120 --> 1:01:04.160
<v Speaker 3>think if you live out here, you're you're gonna get burnt.

1:01:04.640 --> 1:01:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Like it's yeah, you're gonna get a little burnt.

1:01:06.920 --> 1:01:08.880
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't get as burnt as badly as I

1:01:08.920 --> 1:01:12.400
<v Speaker 2>could have. You got burnt for the first time in forever.

1:01:13.280 --> 1:01:16.320
<v Speaker 3>It's I've got like it looks my back looks crazy.

1:01:16.320 --> 1:01:19.000
<v Speaker 3>I've been moisturizing. But I also didn't put sunscreen on

1:01:19.080 --> 1:01:22.200
<v Speaker 3>for the first three days. Yeah, and I feel like

1:01:22.240 --> 1:01:24.120
<v Speaker 3>the first three days might have been some of our

1:01:24.160 --> 1:01:26.560
<v Speaker 3>most sun intensive ones. Yeah.

1:01:26.600 --> 1:01:31.040
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, Ruli oh have says something similar, tan Nick.

1:01:31.120 --> 1:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>That's how you know you're in the height of the

1:01:32.920 --> 1:01:39.200
<v Speaker 2>yearly sports drought. That is correct. My complexion is inversely

1:01:39.320 --> 1:01:44.280
<v Speaker 2>correlated with how good the current sports calendar is, if

1:01:44.320 --> 1:01:49.240
<v Speaker 2>that makes sense, the better my complexion, the worse the

1:01:49.360 --> 1:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>sports time of year is. When I am at my

1:01:53.240 --> 1:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>absolute peak pasty is when the sports are at their

1:01:57.440 --> 1:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>absolute best. And when I look actually like rested and

1:02:01.160 --> 1:02:04.360
<v Speaker 2>rejuvenated is when you know there's been nothing going on,

1:02:06.000 --> 1:02:07.800
<v Speaker 2>all right, Go to Scott Murphy.

1:02:08.400 --> 1:02:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Scott Murphy said, everyone talks about worse to first in

1:02:12.560 --> 1:02:15.080
<v Speaker 3>the NFL, But which team is most likely to go

1:02:15.200 --> 1:02:19.040
<v Speaker 3>first to worse this season? Uh?

1:02:19.520 --> 1:02:24.400
<v Speaker 2>The which team is most likely to go I guess first?

1:02:24.600 --> 1:02:29.640
<v Speaker 2>They weren't first last year, Cowboys were team most likely

1:02:29.720 --> 1:02:33.320
<v Speaker 2>to go first to worst. That's a great question. Everyone's

1:02:33.360 --> 1:02:38.120
<v Speaker 2>answer is gonna be Tampa because the division. But just

1:02:38.160 --> 1:02:40.280
<v Speaker 2>throw that out because nobody cares about the NFC South.

1:02:40.680 --> 1:02:42.200
<v Speaker 2>So I don't even want you know what I mean,

1:02:42.240 --> 1:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to include them.

1:02:45.440 --> 1:02:50.920
<v Speaker 3>Wait the good They're not.

1:02:50.840 --> 1:02:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Gonna be Yeah, they're not gonna be worse than Minnesota.

1:02:55.680 --> 1:02:58.480
<v Speaker 2>It's not gonna be Dallas. Buffalo is not gonna be

1:02:58.520 --> 1:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>worse than.

1:02:58.880 --> 1:03:03.520
<v Speaker 3>New Cartie saying Franz they have too much talent.

1:03:07.560 --> 1:03:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Houston. I don't think, Oh Demanzi is gonna be so mad.

1:03:12.160 --> 1:03:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I've come up with my answer.

1:03:13.800 --> 1:03:17.040
<v Speaker 3>Wait, hold on, are you even okay? Go ahead?

1:03:17.280 --> 1:03:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Even? Oh yeah, I don't I'm not saying I'm not

1:03:20.920 --> 1:03:22.800
<v Speaker 2>picking it. But if I have to pick those in

1:03:22.880 --> 1:03:26.920
<v Speaker 2>Tampa's ineligible just because of how strong the division is,

1:03:27.600 --> 1:03:29.120
<v Speaker 2>I'll say Baltimore.

1:03:29.080 --> 1:03:33.360
<v Speaker 3>And Baltimore after Derrick Henry. All Right, I.

1:03:33.360 --> 1:03:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Don't well, I don't really care about the Derrick Henry edition. Sorry,

1:03:36.520 --> 1:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>but again I thought the answer is probably none of them. Sorry,

1:03:40.400 --> 1:03:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean the answer is probably none of them. Uh No,

1:03:44.040 --> 1:03:46.320
<v Speaker 2>and no, I don't want Lamar coming for me again.

1:03:46.400 --> 1:03:50.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't don't post this Lamar and I I want

1:03:50.160 --> 1:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>us to be friendly again. Uh go to Noah Rodriguez.

1:03:54.120 --> 1:03:57.080
<v Speaker 3>Uh No. Rodriguez asked a question for Nick. If Wimby

1:03:57.200 --> 1:04:00.000
<v Speaker 3>leads France to the gold medal, how would that affect

1:04:00.040 --> 1:04:02.480
<v Speaker 3>if you? How would that affect how you rank him

1:04:02.480 --> 1:04:04.760
<v Speaker 3>amongst NBA players going into next season?

1:04:05.000 --> 1:04:07.640
<v Speaker 2>It would matter? Oh if he leads them to the

1:04:07.680 --> 1:04:12.160
<v Speaker 2>gold and he's awesome, Oh, it would absolutely matter. He

1:04:12.200 --> 1:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>would he would It would impact how I affect him.

1:04:15.440 --> 1:04:17.520
<v Speaker 2>But on that same note, again, I'm trying to be fair.

1:04:17.880 --> 1:04:20.840
<v Speaker 2>How should the fact that the team USA players by

1:04:20.880 --> 1:04:24.680
<v Speaker 2>a massive margin, voted Lebron the best player affect player rankings?

1:04:24.680 --> 1:04:27.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, probably should affect a little bit. Uh,

1:04:27.680 --> 1:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Team USA. The players are like, yeah, Lebron's the best guy.

1:04:30.920 --> 1:04:33.760
<v Speaker 2>All right, what's the Let's go to Scott. I'm sorry,

1:04:33.840 --> 1:04:37.120
<v Speaker 2>let's go to uh yeah, go to Scott Fraser and

1:04:37.160 --> 1:04:38.280
<v Speaker 2>then we'll do the F one thing.

1:04:39.040 --> 1:04:41.920
<v Speaker 3>Scott Fraser asked Nick, what do you think of Canada

1:04:42.000 --> 1:04:45.320
<v Speaker 3>going further than the USA, Mexico and Brazil.

1:04:46.440 --> 1:04:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was insane. I mean, shout out to Canada.

1:04:49.720 --> 1:04:51.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was one of the coolest stories of

1:04:51.640 --> 1:04:56.080
<v Speaker 2>the tournament. Uh in not something I anticipated happening at all.

1:04:56.440 --> 1:04:58.760
<v Speaker 2>And I'm told we have a photoshop of a new

1:04:59.320 --> 1:05:01.880
<v Speaker 2>F one drive. Let me see this. I'm sure this

1:05:01.920 --> 1:05:04.520
<v Speaker 2>won't be Oh it's been Simmons. I thought it was

1:05:04.520 --> 1:05:08.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna be me. Oh, that's funny. It's been Simmons, Sergio president.

1:05:09.200 --> 1:05:11.600
<v Speaker 2>That's well done. No, he's in a race car. He's
