It is What's right, Nick Right the podcast 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:10.120 and YouTube show, we finally have completed our countdown of 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.600 the fifty greatest players of the last fifty years. It 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:17.280 culminated on Sunday with the more than one hour video 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:21.760 breaking down Lebron James' entire career. I'm sure we'll discuss 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.760 that at some point on today's show. Also, by the way, 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.600 not on today's show, but on Thursday, we will announce 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:33.639 the winner of our thousand dollars free roll contest, because 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.840 there was at least I think there were three people 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.800 that I have found who got one through twelve on 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.560 that exactly right. Whoever got it first gets the thousand bucks. 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.200 And you know what, because I'm feeling good, I'm gonna 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:50.040 check and see everyone that I found that got it. 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.280 Everyone who got it one through twelve is going to 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.959 get something. The person who got it first is going 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:56.760 to get the thousand bucks, five hundred to them and 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.320 five hundred to their charity. If you're watching this and 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.880 you're like, hey, I'm one of those people, tweet you 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.400 send your initial tweet to our wonderful social team at 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.680 What's Right Show on Twitter. But I have found I 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.960 think all of them. But I don't want anyone to 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.480 be left out. So we will do that on Thursday. 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.520 More on that coming up, More on whether or not 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.880 Demande is going to be on Winning Time coming up, 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.440 and at some point on today's show, we need to 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:28.880 discuss what is going to replace our Sunday pod in 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.120 going into football season in place of the countdown of 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.040 the fifty greatest players of the last fifty years. But 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.720 before we do any of that, let's start the show. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.320 How we always start the show by discussing what we're 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.040 not discussing. Here's what did not make the cut for 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:49.120 today's show. Durant and Harden party with Travis Scott. That's 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.560 one of the one of Demand's favorites, Travis Scott. I 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.680 like Travis Scott a lot. Your sister loves him as. 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.360 We very controversial guy at this point. 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.520 But yes, yeah, I mean, listen, we don't need to 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.080 get into that. I don't feel like he deserves as 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:01.880 much blame with the tragedy of Wis Concerted about a 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.440 year ago. But Katie and Harden partied with him. Uh, 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.160 Murray and Bonco beefing after the pro am. I think 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.080 that did make the show. I don't think that missed 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.000 the cut. I think that is actually going to be 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:13.960 you know what, if it's not the show, We're putting 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:15.640 it in the show because I want to discuss that 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:19.479 to Jonte Murray and Polo Bonco beefing after prom and 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:25.000 the Coldest sponsored by an ac company. I don't know 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:27.880 what that is. That's h do you know what that is? 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:30.320 League? 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.400 No, that's the crossover. Oh so you don't know what 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.159 it is either the Coldest Crawford. I don't know what 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:41.000 this is. Oh, d Coldest is a football player. His 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.240 last name is Crawford. This is the problem of Demonsee 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.880 only partially listening to the producers when they're setting things up. 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.640 Here Crawford, he says his league, it's fine, don't worry. 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:51.320 What missed? 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.880 What did you say? Oh, it's what missed? You know what? 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:55.280 You're right, I didn't know about it. You didn't know 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.920 about it. Now let's get into the actual show, demonse 0:04:58.200 --> 0:04:59.039 what are we starting with? 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.440 All Right, is your number one in the last fifty years? Yep, 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.000 everyone of course agrees with you. Nobody saying anything about it. 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.920 Uh huh, what's the most compelling? But what's the most 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.599 compelling argument that you've heard against Lebron at number one? 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:12.359 And now that you're done with the list, would you 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:13.440 like to do over? Be honest? 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:18.839 Okay, well, let's start with the most composed. So there's 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:23.200 the top fifty players. There is Jalen and Jacoby my 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.920 dear friend. You know, I shouldn't call them my dear friends, 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.839 but I do. I consider both of them friends. Jalen 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:34.000 Rose and of course Dave Jacoby chiming in saying not 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:39.280 on a Sunday, there's Tory Smith, former great Receiver with 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:43.280 the Ravens, some other teams sending the great wire gift, 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:48.080 we BA saying wow, okay too about the list. So 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:52.800 before I talk about any potential regrets, let me discuss 0:05:52.920 --> 0:06:01.040 the The biggest and most legitimate argument against being number 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:07.240 one is if you look at Kareem and Michael, neither 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:12.360 one of them ever had anything close to the twenty 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:16.400 eleven finals on their resume. And the question is, is 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:20.960 the twenty eleven finals disqualifying it? Can you be the 0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:26.640 best ever if you have that type of moment on 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.719 your resume that cost your team a championship? I obviously 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.320 believe the answer is yes. I think his body of 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.600 work before that, and most notably his body of work 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.120 in the decade since that makes it and the totality 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.400 of it makes that a part of his story, but 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.080 not even close to the defining part of the story. 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:51.880 And I actually think there is now this is being 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.400 very generous, But the most generous reading of it is 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.520 because of that moment, the guy who came into the 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.440 league more hype than anyone, with more pressure than any 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.640 athlete ever when they arrived to the league as a teenager, 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.640 all of a sudden, had even more pressure in the 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.840 midst of his career because he had that failure and 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.400 had to overcome it that I don't even know that 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.080 I fully believe that that would be the most generous 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:23.600 reading of it. However, I do think that if you'd 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.800 simply say the twenty eleven finals are disqualifying, that if 0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:31.920 Lebron had won eight consecutive NBA titles, it wouldn't have mattered. 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.160 I disagree with you, but that is to me a 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.800 fair critique that those if you're gonna be the greatest ever, 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.640 you shouldn't have that moment. It's not how I view it, 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:43.640 but that, to me is a fair argument. A lot 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.720 of the other arguments are just nonsense. The idea that 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.280 because Michael Jordan has a Defensive Player of the Year 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.360 award that he was a better defender than Lebron, Like 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.480 you can argue he was a better defender than Lebron. 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.720 I think you're wrong, But you can make that argument. 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.680 But the fact that Michael won it in the late 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.680 eighties and Lebron came in second, was three votes short 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.480 of winning it in twenty thirteen, that doesn't move me. 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:13.200 That's not resonant. The Michael Jordan, the never losing in 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:17.040 the finals has never been as relevant to me as 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.160 is to other people. Because guy played fifteen seasons in 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.600 the league and won six titles, so he lost at 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.200 some point. There were losses, they just came earlier than later. 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:27.680 Those things don't move me. But if you want to 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:30.760 say the twenty eleven finals is disqualifying, that's fine. Go ahead. 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.240 You want to say something like sad No, I mean 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.880 I think the twenty eleven finals being disqualifying. I think 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.960 that him not folding, like I think that it was 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:40.439 easy for him to fold after that. 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:44.000 Well, that's the point. Well, and it's the very next year, 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:45.719 they're down three two to Boston. He has the best 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.840 game of his second best game of his career. And 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.720 so again that's kind of part of the story. And 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.680 by the way, if it were myth making or fiction 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.960 instead of sports, you would have that moment. If this 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:01.440 were a movie, it would you would have that moment 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.400 and then overcoming it and all of that. Okay, Now, 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.880 as far as regrets on the list, I don't really 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.960 have regrets on the list. However, there are some things 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.319 that I would like that if I were to do 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:23.760 it right now, I would adjust. Okay, First one is this. 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:30.120 If I had done the list knowing that jokicch was 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.120 gonna win a second MVP, he's got to be on there. 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.200 Bernard King gets bumped, he gets on there. 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.439 It's not right, even though, like how how much you 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.959 were saying that he shouldn't have gotten the MVP. 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.520 Again, correct, Listen, I don't think you should have gotten 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.720 the MVP, but I've got to base it on what 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.839 guys and now, much like with Nash, Nash has two MVPs, 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.000 I have him fortieth behind a bunch of guys who 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.880 never won MVP and a bunch of guys who only 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.280 won one MVP. So it doesn't mean that I have 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:03.120 to put him any higher than forty seventh on the list, 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.360 but by virtue of winning two of them, I shouldn't. 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.640 I wouldn't have left him off. However, again this, I 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.240 did that part of the list and debuted it and 0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.920 did the video and all of that before he won 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.040 the second MVP. I have had a lot of pushback 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:23.000 on Sidney Moncrief. I do not regret that at all. 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:30.280 Bill Walton is a tough one because his window was 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.320 so short. But I think I got that one right. 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:38.840 Kawhi is a guy that when I look back at it, 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.480 I say, could I have had Kawhi a little higher? 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:51.480 And I you can convince me that when it comes 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:57.720 to let me find a four instance with Kauhi. Who 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:02.280 has Kawhi in a short perioderiod of time made at 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:07.600 least an equal impact on winning and on the league 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.559 as for instance Jason Kidd. 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:11.760 Did. 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.640 I think the answer to that's probably yes, even though 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:16.760 Kid did it for such a long period of time. 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.960 Is there an argument for Kawhi over Patrick Ewing and 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.200 those guys in the mid late twenties? There probably is, 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.640 And so maybe I would adjust Kawhi and the one 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:29.120 But the one thing everyone. 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.960 Is assuming I'm gonna say, is Lebron your top. 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.160 No, what everyone's thinking I'm gonna say is Luca luc 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:38.080 at twenty. Okay, And the point that I would make 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:42.560 in defense of the Luca ranking is this the list 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:47.680 I believe would look foolish in two years time if 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:53.480 Luca isn't on there By putting him as high as 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:59.120 I did, it made it clear that his was the 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:03.800 one spot that was pure projection. He had and listen, 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.199 second most points per game in his career if anyone 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.360 in the NBA playoffs. He's already a three time first 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.240 team All NBA guy. He's already three time top five 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.520 MVP finisher. He's done a lot of things. His playoff 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.680 numbers are I believe I haven't looked, but I believe 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.440 if you add points, rebounds, and assists per game together 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.200 as one thing, so if you average twenty five ten 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.200 and five, that's forty twenty five plus ten plus five. 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.679 I think Luca's points, rebounds, assists per game in the 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.720 playoffs are the highest of any player in league history. Okay, 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:40.880 so I think the Luca ranking like I think he has. 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:45.080 He's obviously accomplished a lot, but not nearly enough to 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:49.000 be included on the list yet, and not nearly enough 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:52.079 obviously to be at twenty. The reason I felt feel 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.720 good about him being at twenty is because if I 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.520 had put Luca at forty six, I think it would 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.120 look like I was saying he already is the forty 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.200 sixth best player by putting him at twenty. It's so 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:08.280 clear I am not arguing he has accomplished more than 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:11.840 Chris Paul already has. I'm saying this is where he 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.320 is going in order to be a top twenty player. 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:18.240 So the short version is maybe a couple tweaks. One 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:19.680 has to do with the fact that you know, the 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.360 NBA calendar didn't cooperate. One has to do with maybe 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.280 just maybe I underrated quiet touch. But for the most part, 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:27.880 I think I did an a plus job. I think 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.960 it is the definitive and best ranking of NBA players 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:35.840 that anyone's ever put together. And I think that I 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.960 deserve massive credit for having the courage to give respect 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:44.199 to Kareem even at the expense of everyone's idle. Michael Jordan, 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:45.320 Now let's move on. 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.800 What's next. I thank you Lebron and the Lakers have 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.960 started talking extension. Yeah, thank god he's got your list 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:52.640 for some leverage. 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.840 Oh yeah, I expect him to break hold on. Can 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.960 I tell you something. People aren't gonna believe this. Don't 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.640 put this on social because people are just gonna call 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.000 me a liar, and I don't have the energy for it. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.400 But you said he's gonna use my list to create 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:16.560 some leverage. So I the twenty eighteen Calves Lebron's last year. 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:20.600 There after they traded Kyrie. That was a terrible team. 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.040 It was a mess, and it looked like at the 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.680 trade deadline they were gonna stamp pat and it was 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.640 unfathomable to me they were gonna not try to maximize 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.440 one last year of Lebron, And I went on, I 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:35.240 think one of my best rants ever about what Dan 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:40.080 Gilbert needs to do. Authorize David Griffin to go out 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.400 and try to win this year. And that year, by 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.040 the way, in the playoffs, was when Lebron had two 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.080 buzzer beaters, eight forty point games and the single best 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:48.400 game of his career the fifty one to eight and 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.120 eight in the finals, and made the finals, won two 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:56.040 game sevens. That two days before the trade deadline, I 0:14:56.080 --> 0:15:01.040 was friends with someone on the coaching staff. That coach 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:07.360 saw Dan Gilbert in the office or in the building 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:13.160 and played him my clip and text me the next 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.920 day and said, he thinks, now, maybe he was just 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.560 trying to stroke my ego. He thinks it moved him. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:22.120 He thinks moved him. 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.320 That it moved him for So I said, let's say 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:28.200 this the idea that it's just insane that Lebron would 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.920 use my list as Leverageah, there's a little precedent for it. 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.080 But okay, go ahead. You're talking about Lebron an extension. 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.120 That's a true story I've never told. I'm probably wasn't 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.760 supposed to tell it again his for podcasting. Yeah, I 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.800 guess I if someone checks out the coaching after the 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.120 twenty eighteen Caps, they can probably figure out who the 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:45.360 guy is. Let's just move on. 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.360 Go ahead. But the Lakers are still going through things 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.400 with having Russ and the Anthony Davis rumors. Yep uh. 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.200 And they also might not have the their twenty twenty 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.240 four pick when Bronni might be in the draft. 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.120 Correct that pick in New Orleans can have the Lakers 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.280 pick in twenty twenty four or twenty twenty five. New 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.200 Orleans gets to decide once they see where the twenty 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:08.040 twenty four pick falls. That's how that works, exactly right, right, 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:08.920 Go ahead. 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:10.760 So should he resign with the Lakers? 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:15.440 Well, not prematurely. Maybe Lebron should resign with the Lakers. 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.400 But there is no reason whatsoever for him to do 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:22.040 it now. None. The reasons against him doing it now 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:26.960 are five fold. The only reason you sign an extension 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:31.000 early is because in case of injury or talent or 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:36.200 skilled depreciation, you guarantee yourself the money. Lebron's got over 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:40.040 a billion dollars, right, he doesn't need that. The financial 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:44.160 security of it is use is meaningless to him. So 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.720 here's why you wouldn't want to do it. First of all, 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:49.680 you want to keep the Lakers' feet to the fire 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:54.440 on potentially acquiring Kyrie or potentially trying to win this year. Two, 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:58.840 you want to see what if for the third straight 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.840 year Anthony Davis kitts and it's like, oh, he's not 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.280 you know, I'm still up here and he got there 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.520 during the Championship roun and there's never okay, you want 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:12.760 that information. Three, I like Darvinham. There's a chance, though 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:17.160 Darvinham's a disaster. Who knows you all of these things 0:17:17.160 --> 0:17:22.119 to get information. Four you want And this is the 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:26.560 part that I don't think anyone's considering. There is a 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.440 chance that Lebron that the Lakers are awesome this year. 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:34.639 It goes great and the Bucks and Giannis or whomever wins. Right, 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.400 but the Lakers have a great season, there's a chance 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:40.280 Lebron does want to stay and he just does it 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:41.280 for less money. 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.160 Yeah that Lebron says, you know what, go ahead, that's 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:45.680 what I think you should do. I think you might 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.479 do it and did it right. And doesn't that make 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.679 it much easier for Kyrie to get there this offseason? 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.000 Yes, it becomes as a free agent. Could make a 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.440 lot of things easily. Yeah that if Lebron says, I'm 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.119 going to be in year twenty one, it's going to 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.320 be my age, this is the year after this one, 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:05.320 my age thirty nine season, I'm gonna play for less, 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:09.119 so all of those things. So I see no upside 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.600 to him signing the extension now. Doesn't mean he's leaving 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.880 the Lakers, but I see no upside to him signing 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:14.920 it now. All right, what's next? 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.000 You said on TV that Trey Lance can win the 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:19.000 Super Bowl MVP. 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:20.359 Yeah, I did this. 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:22.840 Last Sky's last season as a starter was at North 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:23.920 Dakota three years ago. 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:26.520 North Dakota State, North Yida State. Sorry, yeah, no problem. 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:28.600 So is this a Andrew Wiggins Part two type of 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:29.400 thing are you worried about? 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:34.880 Okay, So, first of all, it is it is very 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:39.080 the only way when you're saying Andrew Wiggins Part two, 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:44.560 you don't get as crushed by those sons of bitches 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:49.680 online for being too high on a guy. Do you 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:53.760 understand what I mean? If I said that Trey Lance 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.800 was going to be a complete bust and then he 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.160 wins Super Bowl MVP, that is setting yourself up. I'll 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.919 give you a little more. One of the reasons people 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:04.760 crushed me for the Wiggans thing is they thought the 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:08.200 take was mean. They thought, so, I don't think there's 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:13.000 any take you can give that is positive that's going 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:17.159 to be If it's a positive take that ends up 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:21.359 being wrong, is not ever going to be as polarizing 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.000 as a negative take that ends up being wrong. All right, 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.480 you follow me now? The question I was asked is 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:32.359 what is Trey Lliance's ceiling? And I stand by listen, 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.359 I obviously haven't seen Trailiance played a handful of NFL games. 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:39.320 He played college at Division two school and his final 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.359 year in college going played a game because of COVID. 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.720 I get all that. I also trust the Niners. I 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.960 trust the draft evaluators that all that he was. I 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.439 don't want to say a consensus top five pick, but 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:52.399 a lot of teams would have taken him in the 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:54.840 top five. Niners traded three first round picks to go 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:57.040 get him, right, that's first of all. Second of all, 0:19:57.040 --> 0:19:59.160 I like what I saw from last year. Third of all, 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.200 the Niners made two of the last three NFC Championship 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:06.119 games with mediocre to blow average quarterback. So do I 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:11.520 believe in a week NFC the Niners could find themselves 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:15.040 in the NFC Championship Game again? Of course, could they 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:19.840 win it? Of course? So if I think he could 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:22.760 be in the Super Bowl, he's the quarterback of the team. 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.880 His ceiling is Super Bowl MVP, which, by the way, 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:29.720 this is year two for us. Since Colin Kaepernick in 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.960 year two took over for the Niners, they went to 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.119 the Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes in year two, after playing 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.600 nine year one, took over for the Chiefs. They went 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:40.159 to the AFC Championship Game in overtime. Joe Burrow in 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.520 year two just went to the Super Bowl. Carson Wentz, 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:45.440 who stinks in year two was gonna win League MVP. 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:47.480 That team ended up winning the Super Bowl. Without him. 0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:51.600 How many Lamar Jackson in year two won league MVP 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.960 guys in year two? If they're that guy, are his 0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:01.360 in recent NFL history? Pretty damn good? So yeah, it's uh, 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:04.240 it's speculative. But I believe in Trey Lance, and I 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:07.760 believe in Deebo and Ayuk and Kittle and Shanahan and 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:09.800 that offense, all of it. All Right, that's the time, 0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.880 but we're gonna squeeze in one last mini story before 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:13.880 we move on what's next. 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:16.520 Now, everybody's feeling as confident about their quarterbacks as you 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:20.320 feel about Trey Lance. Matt Stafford has an abnormal elbow injury. 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.000 Yeah, they say it's like a baseball injury, like ten 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:23.800 to niners. It's weird. 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:25.200 Yeah, but he doesn't seem to be bad. 0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:27.359 And I no, he seems fine. But I think they 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:28.879 got like on a pitch count and practice. 0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:31.159 But go ahead. And mag Jones has been struggling in 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.480 training camp. Yeah, and with Kyler Kyler Murray's contract clause, 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.920 everybody thinks that it's possible that he's not focused. Yeah, 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:38.400 what's the biggest red flag you here? 0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:43.639 Well, let's just go through them all individually quickly. The 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:46.520 Stafford thing is either this is one of those things 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.840 where it's either nothing or it changes the entire landscape 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:53.560 of the NFC. It's if it's just soreness and he's fine, 0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:58.080 then it's nothing. If Matt Stafford, you know, has to 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:01.919 miss time, the Rams are just totally screwed. They are 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.199 a very top heavy team. No team can afford to 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.760 lose their quarterback. But I would argue the Rams are 0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:10.480 now they maybe I shouldn't say they're particularly in that 0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:12.640 boat because their defense can win them games on their 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:15.040 its own, but they are the favorites in my eyes 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:17.200 in the NFC right now. They're not my pick, but 0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:19.320 they're the favorites to me. They should be over the Bucks. 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:23.520 So that is if he's if he's not who he 0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:25.600 was last year, then they have no chance. So that's 0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:28.960 either like nothing or as big of an offseason story 0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:32.960 as there is. Kyler, I think the bigger story in 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:37.960 Arizona is how poorly the organization is run. And I'm 0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:40.720 not you know, we've talked enough about that story. Listen, 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:45.960 the Mac Jones thing. Mac Jones was awful the final 0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:49.200 six weeks of last year. After they mortified him on 0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:52.520 National TV only let him throw three passes, they lose 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:56.560 Josh McDaniels, They don't have a single difference maker as 0:22:56.560 --> 0:23:02.520 a pass catcher. I think that mac Jones comes way 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:05.320 back down to earth this year, and I think he 0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:08.359 that he is the guy we thought he was coming 0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:11.240 out of college, which is the most pro ready but 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:14.320 the lowest ceiling. What does that mean? Most pro ready 0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:16.600 probably gonna be the best rookie, but then his other 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:19.480 guys improve and reach their potential. I think he stays 0:23:19.520 --> 0:23:23.359 about the same. I think I think mac Jones's destiny 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:30.160 is to be a Ryan Tannehill esque guy in the 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:35.560 right circumstances can be perfectly competent and the wrong circumstances 0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.639 can look bad and is never going to be a 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:41.080 guy you're like, Yep, he's the reason why. 0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:45.560 Mid is what you're saying. Say it again, he's mid. 0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:49.880 I guess that's what the kids would say, Yeah, Mac Jones, 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:52.440 mid Ye? Did I do that right? 0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:55.560 Yeah? All right, We'll be right back like that. 0:24:01.800 --> 0:24:06.160 Dude, Katie on Twitter, demanse is so good. So a 0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:08.399 year ago I found this. I found this sweet from 0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:13.359 the year ago. To set this up, someone tweeted to 0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:16.800 Katie relaxed big dog. You're Kevin Durant. Life is too sweet. 0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:19.880 This is a year And Katie replied to him, there's 0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:23.640 no relax, Champ, no relax when I'm on Twitter. I'm 0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:27.840 on tin until the second I closed the app. You relax, okay, 0:24:27.960 --> 0:24:32.879 And he really has just lived by that credo. So 0:24:33.400 --> 0:24:35.239 the other day I don't even remember what it was. 0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:39.080 Oh it was he hadn't tweeted in a couple of days, 0:24:39.280 --> 0:24:42.240 and then he sent out the It was in relation 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:45.720 to the ninety eight Bulls against the twenty seventeen Warriors, 0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:48.240 and he was like his drama was talking about it. Oh, 0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:49.639 and it was like I don't know who would win, 0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:51.520 but I know Steve Kerr would put Steve Kurr in 0:24:51.560 --> 0:24:52.480 a bunch of picking rolls. 0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:53.159 And that was. 0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:55.600 It was like seven am, and this is only tweeting 0:24:55.600 --> 0:25:00.720 for the day, so and don't put up Katie tweet yet. 0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:06.200 So at seven o six am, this guy, just some dude, 0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:12.040 Michael Patron uh tweets car wouldn't start this morning, get 0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:15.520 to work late in our internet's down. Lol. I love 0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:19.720 this shit. Unlike at Katie Trey five, I actually enjoy 0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:24.040 taking the hardest road. It's basically just problem solving practice. 0:25:24.200 --> 0:25:27.080 So by before I even get to Kevin Durantstein, I'm 0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:30.600 now clicking on this guy and he is. 0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:33.880 He's got like an NFT profile picture. 0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:39.199 No but eight figure Amazon seller. Uh and my and 0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:42.359 just one of these guys that is like, hey, you know, 0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:46.160 he's one of these guys. Would you take a million 0:25:46.240 --> 0:25:48.240 dollars or dinner with jay Z? 0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:49.879 I do dinner? 0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:55.119 Just one of these just total buffoons. Sorry, buddy, I 0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:58.400 that's my take from just that one tweet. So now 0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:00.400 we can put the kd tweet up this guy. Since 0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:03.360 this at seven o six am, Kiddy hasn't tweeted in 0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:08.320 two days. Seventeen minutes later, KD. Wright, you enjoy having 0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:10.600 a car and getting to work and not being able 0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:16.360 to connect to the internet. He's funny, man, That's really funny. 0:26:16.520 --> 0:26:18.679 Yeah, I mean, what are you gonna do? Man? Instead 0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:20.800 of like being all pissy, I really like how he's 0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:22.840 clopping back with these folks. That was that was dope. 0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:27.479 I I you know, I it's a shame that, you know, 0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:29.760 through a lot of my own doing, I think he 0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:33.520 really dislikes me because I have totally come around on Kdah. 0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:36.879 I've totally come. I've come around. I never you know, 0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:39.480 I never dislike How can you dislike the basketball? Clary is? 0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:43.200 I I thought he had made some very poor choices, 0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:46.200 and there are some things that I've criticized, but man, 0:26:46.880 --> 0:26:50.040 and I've obviously taken some shots. But he's funny. 0:26:50.240 --> 0:26:53.160 I U truly disliked KT at one point a couple 0:26:53.200 --> 0:26:53.720 of years ago. 0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:56.399 Yeah, we don't need to relitigate the Warriors thing. It 0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:58.480 was just such a turn off for so many people. 0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:04.640 But the Twitter, the the burner account thing was such 0:27:05.480 --> 0:27:08.720 But now he has flipped the whole Twitter thing now, 0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:15.240 like what was his most exactly? And it's so funny. 0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:19.720 You enjoy having a car not being able to connect 0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:22.320 to the internet. God, he's funny. All right, you ready 0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:23.159 for the second segment? 0:27:23.280 --> 0:27:23.680 Let's do it? 0:27:23.720 --> 0:27:26.200 All right, let's do it.

They haven't gotten back to me. I'm pretty 0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:51.160 sure it's either the fans haven't been tweeting enough. Somebody 0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:53.080 might already have my job. They might be in the 0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:56.760 studio already. I don't know. But I am still doing. 0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:59.480 I'm working out, doing at least two hundred push ups 0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:01.480 to day, This is true, doing at least one hundred 0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:03.400 and fifty curls a day. It's just so I can 0:28:03.400 --> 0:28:06.120 be as tune as Byron Scott. So I'm gonna need 0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:08.480 you guys to pick it up. I'm gonna need more tweets, 0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:11.960 more at winning time, HBO Demond hashtags, I need it. 0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:15.840 And also tweet at ghost Panther that's actually the producer's 0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:20.840 uh Twitter handle, ghost Panther. Okay, so tweeted him. Do 0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:24.240 we though have Here's the thing I keep telling people 0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:26.560 you were a great basketball player. 0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:29.040 Oh yes, go ahead, we've got proof. 0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:32.439 Really we've got proof. Is it high school? Don't want 0:28:32.440 --> 0:28:33.560 to see it was. 0:28:33.480 --> 0:28:36.880 My latest my last college games that I played. Okay, 0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:39.200 right here, look at that shot, man. 0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:41.240 All right, that's a good looking shot. I mean the release. 0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:43.600 You never quickened the release the way it hopes, but 0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:47.080 it was a smooth shot. Yeah, it's a great shot. 0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:49.360 It's a good looking shot. And by the way, I 0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:51.240 don't know if you can see it if you're watching it, 0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:54.240 Demonte's just banging threes. This is I mean, all of 0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:58.240 these were critical moments, especially these last two. This one 0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:00.480 I think is off screen, but this is the dagger 0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:03.000 to win the game. But do we have any clips 0:29:03.000 --> 0:29:05.280 of the athleticism? Do you have any? Oh, there's the 0:29:05.320 --> 0:29:08.040 next game. I remember there's this a putback dunk. 0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:11.320 Man that the pass was amazing. That was a great 0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:12.600 past pass. Was amazing. 0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:16.880 The okay, I like this clip and then again. 0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:18.480 And you can see you can see my dad and 0:29:18.520 --> 0:29:20.400 then in the bottom screen on most of them. Yeah, 0:29:20.440 --> 0:29:21.520 jumping up, jumping up. 0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:22.840 I flew to San Diego to watch. 0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:24.560 It's amazing. Yeah, it's amazing. 0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:28.200 Was that the game that you had almost thirty in 0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:28.840 the first half? 0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:31.680 Yeah? Yeah, I think I finished with like twenty seven 0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:32.120 points there. 0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:34.320 But they didn't let you play most of the second 0:29:34.360 --> 0:29:36.440 half because you cursed at yourself. 0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:38.560 Yeah, and so they teed you up. Yeah, which was 0:29:38.640 --> 0:29:40.680 really I don't think. I don't get technicals often. It 0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:41.200 was really weird. 0:29:41.280 --> 0:29:44.080 No, but you were cursing it yourself. Also, it's college, 0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:45.920 it's not high school. I didn't even know you got 0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:50.800 a technical for that, but neither here or that. All right, listen, folks, 0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:56.920 Demonse's planning on moving to la He will go there earlier, 0:29:57.760 --> 0:30:02.280 and our producers they were like, hey, Demons, you can 0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:04.080 you know, in the meantime, since you're not set up 0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:07.280 in la yet, you can use our address. What they 0:30:07.280 --> 0:30:09.760 don't understand what that means is if he gets this gig, 0:30:10.120 --> 0:30:12.920 it's not just use the address. It's live at your 0:30:12.960 --> 0:30:17.880 house until he gets his apartment, which depending on the 0:30:17.960 --> 0:30:23.040 credit check and the credit score, might take a few months. 0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:27.080 So I hope everybody understands what they've signed up for. 0:30:27.280 --> 0:30:30.440 But if it ends up with Demanse being Byron Scott 0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:33.520 on one of the biggest shows in America, you know 0:30:33.560 --> 0:30:37.680 who I reached out to to help us with this, Bamani, 0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:41.880 because Bomani is a show on HBO, is produced it's 0:30:41.920 --> 0:30:45.640 produced by the same guy, and it's on HBO, So 0:30:46.280 --> 0:30:47.280 we're trying. 0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:49.720 To all right, Demanse stands, we still need you guys, 0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:50.320 but that's huge. 0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:53.959 Demonse stands, Okay, I don't know if those people exist. 0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:56.200 I'm gonna I'm going to create a name for him. 0:30:56.760 --> 0:31:02.800 How about just you know, friends of the Pod. Friends 0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:06.360 of the pod, we don't need demanse stands. See that's 0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:09.880 where we don't listen. I just want to get demand. 0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:12.440 I want demand to get an audition. I think you 0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:15.240 would do great. I think you look enough like Byron Scott. 0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:19.480 I think your build is incredibly similar, and I think 0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:21.680 you're yeah, you are getting bigger. I think the game 0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:23.600 is similar. I think there's a lot of things by 0:31:23.640 --> 0:31:25.880 the way, real quick before we get to right or wrong. 0:31:26.840 --> 0:31:29.400 You know, because you have been doing a shit ton 0:31:29.400 --> 0:31:34.840 of push ups. You know that every time I holler 0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:36.560 at you and you're like, let me finish, or you're 0:31:36.600 --> 0:31:38.960 working out, and you make that clear, your mom just 0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:45.160 roasts me. Really yeah, man, because I haven't been working out. 0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:48.520 I did really good for about a year of not 0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:51.280 just the peloton but lifting weights. I was working out 0:31:51.320 --> 0:31:55.160 five days a week. And then it's not just that 0:31:55.160 --> 0:32:00.640 the pod started, it's that your Momuck, she's here right now, 0:32:00.720 --> 0:32:02.360 and I don't think she's gonna watch this whole show. 0:32:02.680 --> 0:32:06.960 Your mom's store opened, and I got basically another job 0:32:08.680 --> 0:32:11.760 from work. Every day, open up the gates, do all 0:32:11.800 --> 0:32:15.680 these things during the normal workout time. So I've fallen 0:32:15.720 --> 0:32:18.680 off a bit and so now every time you're down 0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:22.960 there doing pushups, she's like, oh, Demonse has time. I'm like, 0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:24.680 you gotta be you. 0:32:25.960 --> 0:32:28.200 For lost time. Man. During that year that you were 0:32:28.200 --> 0:32:30.440 grinding on the peloton and weightlift, Yeah you. 0:32:30.400 --> 0:32:34.040 Got fat, buddy. Yeah, yeah, you're looking bad. You did 0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:35.880 the No, you weren't looking bad, and you didn't get fat. 0:32:36.000 --> 0:32:37.840 But you also and then we can move on to 0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:41.120 the actual show. Uh, you did do a full year 0:32:41.440 --> 0:32:44.320 of building fins, which kept me in great shape. Well 0:32:44.360 --> 0:32:45.160 I would imagine. 0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:48.640 Yeah, it almost might have been better than basketball shape. 0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:51.600 Oh you certainly stronger. Yeah yeah, and then you got 0:32:51.760 --> 0:32:59.040 Then it's amazing. What what living right around the poverty 0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:03.400 line buildings and eating noodles three meals a day? 0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:04.240 Will it? Will do? 0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:07.120 And then you come move it back in here. You're 0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:10.400 not building fences. We got a chef, and all of 0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:14.960 a sudden it's like, oh boy, life's good. Then you 0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:16.840 got yourself back. I'm proud of you. All right, let's 0:33:16.840 --> 0:33:17.880 play a game. Right or wrong? 0:33:18.000 --> 0:33:21.280 Oh? Right or wrong? Luka Donsons be spotted in Slovenia 0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:22.920 looking skinny. 0:33:23.080 --> 0:33:25.400 Yeah, okay, well not that skinny, but go ahead. 0:33:25.440 --> 0:33:28.360 Apparently he's been training extra hard this offseason, and it's 0:33:28.400 --> 0:33:31.960 clearly showing right or wrong, Luca is too skinny. 0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:33.240 I actually think that's right. 0:33:34.000 --> 0:33:34.920 You think he's too skinny. 0:33:35.000 --> 0:33:38.720 Yes, I think that he will put on some more weight. 0:33:38.760 --> 0:33:41.080 If it was the season we're starting right now, I 0:33:41.120 --> 0:33:43.600 would not want him that weight. I do think he 0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:47.840 needed to get in better cardiovascular shape because he has 0:33:47.960 --> 0:33:50.960 such a load on him. Offensively, I think one of 0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:55.400 the reasons that he either was call it lacka days 0:33:55.440 --> 0:33:58.160 ago on defense or wearing down in fourth quarters was 0:33:58.520 --> 0:34:02.440 he was not in the best physical condition. Okay, However, 0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:09.319 I think Luca's NBA equivalent as far as stylistically on 0:34:09.400 --> 0:34:14.200 offenses Lebron right, and he's not the athlete Lebron is, 0:34:14.280 --> 0:34:17.040 but he plays very similar and puts up very similar 0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:19.480 you know the twenty seven to seven and seven Lebron's 0:34:19.520 --> 0:34:21.840 thing where it's you're gonna fill up every part of 0:34:21.840 --> 0:34:24.880 the box score, right. One of the keys for Lebron 0:34:24.920 --> 0:34:27.560 to be able to do that is taking the punishment 0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.080 and I and for Lebron it was with pure muscle, 0:34:31.400 --> 0:34:34.880 but then later in his career also put on extra weight. 0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:37.480 Luca is never gonna have that type of body, But 0:34:37.600 --> 0:34:41.359 I do think a little extra weight helps him deal 0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:42.279 with the punishment. 0:34:42.480 --> 0:34:45.840 I literally, I was just saying this, Yeah, yeah, No, 0:34:46.080 --> 0:34:48.640 I was just saying, like, the only way this I 0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:50.239 was I don't I didn't want to say that he 0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:51.759 was too skinny, but I was just saying that the 0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:53.839 only way that him losing all this weight works if 0:34:54.280 --> 0:34:55.560 he's just that much faster. 0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:58.759 But he's not gonna get that much faster. No, I 0:34:58.760 --> 0:35:01.680 don't think he's gonna get by the way. I don't 0:35:01.680 --> 0:35:04.479 think he needs to be faster. He makes everyone play 0:35:04.480 --> 0:35:07.200 at his speed. He gets him on his ass, like 0:35:07.280 --> 0:35:09.400 right on his hip and just does what he wants. 0:35:09.719 --> 0:35:12.640 What he needs is to be totally honest, his lungs 0:35:12.640 --> 0:35:14.680 to be in better shape. He needs just to be 0:35:14.719 --> 0:35:19.600 in better cardio vast condition. Yeah, for real. And I 0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:23.880 think trimming down. I think it is easier once the 0:35:23.920 --> 0:35:27.600 season starts, or leading into the season to bulk up 0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:30.680 with good weight, which I assume he will do. So 0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:34.399 I like this as a sign of what he's doing 0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:38.200 this offseason. I would think this would be too skinny 0:35:38.480 --> 0:35:40.480 for it to be his playing weight. I think he's 0:35:40.520 --> 0:35:41.839 got to gain a little bit of weight, all right, 0:35:41.880 --> 0:35:42.359 what's next. 0:35:42.400 --> 0:35:45.080 Okay, the jont played in a pro am game in 0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:47.680 Seattle with his new teammates Trey Young and Jason and 0:35:47.760 --> 0:35:52.000 John Collins. Yeah, after the game, he urged more NBA 0:35:52.120 --> 0:35:54.439 players to play in proram games for fans they can't 0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:57.640 afford it. Yep, right or wrong, it's worth the injury 0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:00.319 is for NBA players to play in PROME games. Right. 0:36:00.400 --> 0:36:05.480 Here's the thing, and this was the knock on Ben 0:36:05.560 --> 0:36:10.960 Simmons among other a handful of other guys who don't 0:36:11.000 --> 0:36:14.600 like seem to show year over year improvement. Here's the 0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:20.000 thing about NBA players. They're going to play basketball all 0:36:20.360 --> 0:36:24.279 year round, maybe take a month off after the season. So, 0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:28.040 whether it's a pro am game, whether it's the open 0:36:28.160 --> 0:36:31.799 run at UCLA that's been going on forever, whether it's 0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:34.560 pick up at twenty four when you lived in Houston, 0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:36.480 how long would you see Dwight Howard. 0:36:36.520 --> 0:36:38.600 Yah, he came up. He came up to our school 0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:38.920 in toime. 0:36:39.120 --> 0:36:42.560 Yeah, listen, guys love to play, So I don't look 0:36:42.600 --> 0:36:45.200 at it as more of an injury orrisk playing in 0:36:45.200 --> 0:36:48.440 these proram games than playing at lifetime or twenty. These 0:36:48.480 --> 0:36:51.600 guys are going to play it's not like football where 0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:55.560 there's so much more contact and you can't really play 0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:57.960 organized football, you know what I mean, outside of the 0:36:57.960 --> 0:37:00.160 context of your team. So I think it is at 0:37:00.200 --> 0:37:00.919 the injury risk. 0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.319 And then I think as long as they're playing with 0:37:03.400 --> 0:37:06.320 the right folks, I think that you could be playing 0:37:06.400 --> 0:37:09.760 against high risk like people that are more well Listen. 0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:13.040 I think some people would argue that it is a 0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:15.560 higher risk at the pro am because it's guys who 0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:17.200 are like, I could be a pro and I'm gonna 0:37:17.200 --> 0:37:20.120 show him. But what's really gonna get you messed up 0:37:20.560 --> 0:37:24.399 is if you're playing with someone totally sloppy, totally out 0:37:24.400 --> 0:37:26.560 of control. And that's not gonna happen in a pro 0:37:26.640 --> 0:37:28.680 am game as likely as it's gonna happen at just 0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:31.040 some gym, some open run. So I think it's worth 0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:32.920 the risk. I also want to talk here because I 0:37:32.920 --> 0:37:36.080 said we're gonna talk about it. The Dejonte Murray Polo 0:37:36.200 --> 0:37:40.600 Boncaro all of a sudden feud. I love it. I 0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:44.120 love that both. I love that Paolo all of a 0:37:44.160 --> 0:37:48.120 sudden is like taking on the mantle of ours, the 0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:51.520 number one pardon me, but pick of this draft. Nobody's 0:37:51.560 --> 0:37:54.880 gonna talk trash to me and Dejonte, who nobody's ever 0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:58.880 thought of as a star in year five. Jonta Murray, Yeah, 0:37:58.920 --> 0:38:00.839 that sounds right. I'm not sure if it's your five 0:38:00.920 --> 0:38:01.719 or year I. 0:38:01.760 --> 0:38:05.400 Think I just think it's like I compare it to 0:38:05.480 --> 0:38:08.560 me fighting with Deanna. How are you gonna be beefing 0:38:08.600 --> 0:38:10.560 with this dude? They just got to the NBA. 0:38:10.600 --> 0:38:12.440 Well, I think he's the number. 0:38:12.280 --> 0:38:14.640 One pick, and it's like, but at. 0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:17.000 So he's played five years, but he missed one year 0:38:17.000 --> 0:38:19.640 with injuries, so he's so this is he's played six 0:38:19.719 --> 0:38:21.560 years if you include that, so this will be your seven. 0:38:22.440 --> 0:38:25.480 It's because of the number one pick and Dejonte's feeling himself, 0:38:26.120 --> 0:38:28.040 you know what I mean, got traded for all these picks, 0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:30.040 is looking at a big deal coming up, so I 0:38:30.040 --> 0:38:32.880 get it. I also like Palo not backing down. I 0:38:32.960 --> 0:38:34.440 like the whole thing for both of them. All Right, 0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:35.960 I know we're out of time, so we'll go quick 0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:37.200 through these last few. What's next? 0:38:37.400 --> 0:38:42.160 Former Pats offensive lineman Rich Ornberger said that he sorry 0:38:42.280 --> 0:38:46.279 not so, but once, after oversleeping, intentionally crashed his car 0:38:46.440 --> 0:38:49.239 so he could dodge the raft of Bill Belichick. Right 0:38:49.320 --> 0:38:52.560 or wrong. This is the sign of a great coach. Okay, 0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:54.760 I that's freaking crazy. 0:38:55.200 --> 0:38:58.879 All right, it's story time real quick. Yeah, this is 0:38:58.920 --> 0:39:01.960 this is like the most instant karma that ever happened. Right, 0:39:02.800 --> 0:39:05.040 So I'm not even gonna answer this question. I Belichick. 0:39:05.080 --> 0:39:05.279 Listen. 0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:07.719 Belichick's a hard nosed guy. We all know it's fine. 0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:09.320 Is the reason I left this in the show is 0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:14.480 tell the story. So college, my friend Tamara, who you know, 0:39:15.400 --> 0:39:19.600 was flying back from somewhere to Syracuse. I like an 0:39:19.640 --> 0:39:24.720 overnight flight, like six thirty am or maybe even earlier landing, 0:39:25.280 --> 0:39:28.839 and I told her I'd pick her up. I had 0:39:28.880 --> 0:39:32.000 been gambling it was coming back from winter break at 0:39:32.040 --> 0:39:36.160 turning Stone Casino in Syracuse, and I lost track of 0:39:36.200 --> 0:39:39.399 time or I didn't care or whatever. And as I'm 0:39:39.480 --> 0:39:44.799 walking to my car, she calls me to say like 0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:47.319 where are you? And am walking to my car from 0:39:47.400 --> 0:39:50.879 the parking lot and I've got It's a forty five 0:39:50.880 --> 0:39:54.040 minute drive and it's snowing because it's Syracuse in the winter. 0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:57.680 And I answer and the phone dies and I'm like, 0:39:57.800 --> 0:40:02.320 oh my god. So I get on all Syracuse highways 0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:05.000 is out. There's toll road. Get to the toll booth, 0:40:05.400 --> 0:40:08.719 and I convinced the toll booth operator this is both 0:40:08.719 --> 0:40:12.160 pretty easy to take chips, no to let me use 0:40:12.200 --> 0:40:14.320 his phone to call her. 0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:15.160 And tell her. 0:40:15.560 --> 0:40:18.279 So I call her and she's yelling at me. She's like, 0:40:18.320 --> 0:40:21.880 where are you? I've been waiting and I'm like, And 0:40:21.920 --> 0:40:24.759 I got irritated that she was irritated with me. She 0:40:24.840 --> 0:40:26.520 doesn't know this, but she I don't know if she 0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:29.880 watches the pot. I got irritated that she was irritated 0:40:29.880 --> 0:40:33.560 with me, so I said I was like, Tamara, I 0:40:33.640 --> 0:40:37.080 gotten a wreck, and she was like, oh my god, 0:40:37.120 --> 0:40:40.560 are you okay? Like, I'm fine. Car's a little banged up, 0:40:40.800 --> 0:40:43.680 but I'm running late, but I will come. I will 0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:46.560 be there. She's like, okay, I'm sorry. I'm like, don't 0:40:46.560 --> 0:40:49.839 worry about it. I'm on away. Give the guy his 0:40:49.880 --> 0:40:56.319 phone back. Leave the toll area. From the toll area, 0:40:56.320 --> 0:40:59.719 it's a ramp to the next highway. Car spins out 0:40:59.760 --> 0:41:04.480 on the ramp and bangs the guardrail right after I 0:41:04.560 --> 0:41:07.839 claimed I had gotten in a wreck. So two things. 0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:11.000 One is that's crazy karma. Second is I don't know 0:41:11.040 --> 0:41:14.239 what my plan had been about when I when I 0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:16.359 picked her up, and she was gonna be like where Jay, 0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:20.160 Where's But now there was actual damage to the vehicle. 0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:22.120 I would have kicked the car kicked it. 0:41:22.120 --> 0:41:24.759 Well, I wasn't worth it, but I so, yeah, so 0:41:24.880 --> 0:41:27.080 I've done something similar. I get it the old car 0:41:27.160 --> 0:41:29.840 wreck excuse, except I didn't try to get in the 0:41:29.880 --> 0:41:31.680 car wreck. But I did get in the car wreck. Okay, 0:41:31.680 --> 0:41:32.560 all right, let's building. 0:41:32.760 --> 0:41:35.120 Let's it's just as scary as angry. 0:41:35.080 --> 0:41:38.120 Yet I think that's actually smart. I think Rich probably 0:41:38.120 --> 0:41:40.960 would have gotten cut. I think it's actually smart. He's 0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:42.920 cut guys for less. All right, go ahead, all right. 0:41:43.000 --> 0:41:46.520 So Aaron Rodgers said last week his back to back 0:41:46.600 --> 0:41:50.680 MVPs came from his improved mental state from taking some 0:41:50.880 --> 0:41:52.040 psychedelics called. 0:41:53.320 --> 0:41:54.600 You've been practicing this all morning? 0:41:55.840 --> 0:41:56.640 Ayahuasca? 0:41:56.760 --> 0:41:58.880 Oh nailed nailed it? 0:41:59.480 --> 0:42:02.120 Yeah yeah, so right or wrong? To improve the show, 0:42:02.160 --> 0:42:03.920 we should take psychedelics. 0:42:05.120 --> 0:42:05.719 Well do they work? 0:42:05.800 --> 0:42:07.560 To Monsea, I have no idea. 0:42:08.280 --> 0:42:09.520 You a damn line. 0:42:09.840 --> 0:42:14.359 I don't. I took psychedelics. Am I allowed to say this? 0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:14.719 Yeah? 0:42:14.760 --> 0:42:17.200 Sure, I'm a grown man. I'm twenty four years Yeah, 0:42:17.200 --> 0:42:20.319 I'm taking Amaron Rogers, So, yeah, I took psychedelics once 0:42:20.600 --> 0:42:22.520 when I was a kid, and I want to slip. 0:42:22.800 --> 0:42:27.920 When you were a kid, and oh my god, I alight, 0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:30.440 all right, bleep that entire you know what, hold on, 0:42:30.719 --> 0:42:33.680 hold on, We're gonna Oh my god, that makes me 0:42:33.800 --> 0:42:37.040 look so bad. That's not what I thought you were 0:42:37.040 --> 0:42:39.960 gonna say. Oh, you can leave this in the show. 0:42:41.280 --> 0:42:44.600 But bleep, bleep some of that. I was just bleep 0:42:44.680 --> 0:42:49.320 the context of winning where to stop? Stop stop talking, 0:42:50.200 --> 0:42:54.440 stop talking. I was joking, you weren't. 0:42:54.520 --> 0:42:59.680 Oh my god, I've got to get that like that. 0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:02.439 That since of like when I'm serious and when I'm not. Yeah, 0:43:03.320 --> 0:43:05.520 like what you're like? Are we playing a game here? 0:43:05.520 --> 0:43:09.680 Am I serious? I respect the honesty, dude. I remember 0:43:09.680 --> 0:43:11.919 the I know how old you were the last time 0:43:11.920 --> 0:43:12.680 you went what do you? 0:43:13.040 --> 0:43:16.920 What are you? I was eighteen. 0:43:17.280 --> 0:43:19.319 I don't think that you keep saying it like I 0:43:19.400 --> 0:43:23.160 was eighteen. You're still the illiter. No, the answer to 0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:26.239 this question is no, we're not taking psychedelic drugs to 0:43:26.320 --> 0:43:30.239 improve the show. And no, I'm not taking ayahuasca or 0:43:30.520 --> 0:43:35.520 micro I joked on TV that I would microde osh psilocybin, 0:43:36.080 --> 0:43:38.319 uh like they did in that nine Perfect Strangers thing. 0:43:38.360 --> 0:43:41.759 But I'm not a drug guy. I have enough vices. 0:43:42.000 --> 0:43:46.000 I gamble, I drank, I occasionally smoke. I am not 0:43:46.080 --> 0:43:46.799 a drug guy. 0:43:47.600 --> 0:43:48.480 Uh agreed? 0:43:49.120 --> 0:43:52.000 Okay, all right, what's the last topic? This really went 0:43:52.040 --> 0:43:54.480 off the rails. I blame the producers for putting this 0:43:54.520 --> 0:43:55.880 in there without fully vetting you. 0:43:56.200 --> 0:44:00.680 Go ahead, video surface the Royal Sodeo breaking his mother's ankles. Yeah, 0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:03.000 a new net at the NETS training facility. 0:44:03.040 --> 0:44:03.600 Uh huh? 0:44:03.680 --> 0:44:05.560 Right or wrong? I should do this to mom? 0:44:05.920 --> 0:44:07.040 How do you think that would go for you? 0:44:08.400 --> 0:44:09.799 I just don't think i'd post her up? 0:44:10.440 --> 0:44:13.000 Okay. But but if you were playing basketball with her 0:44:13.480 --> 0:44:15.840 and she ended up falling to the ground and people 0:44:15.840 --> 0:44:17.680 were around, how do you think that would go for you? 0:44:19.320 --> 0:44:20.279 Honestly don't know. 0:44:20.760 --> 0:44:25.959 I do. Do you remember the time?

But uh, 0:44:34.160 --> 0:44:38.759 the last time your mom you were you were in 0:44:38.880 --> 0:44:41.799 high school. We were standing in the kitchen and I 0:44:41.800 --> 0:44:45.319 don't know what you said to your mother and my. 0:44:45.360 --> 0:44:50.920 Nose, Yeah, I remember that. 0:44:56.239 --> 0:45:02.160 Yeah's big ass is towering over Danielle and he said 0:45:02.200 --> 0:45:05.280 something that made her mad.

You re you got a little got 0:45:33.080 --> 0:45:37.040 a little too big for your breeches. Yeah, all right, Well, 0:45:37.160 --> 0:45:41.480 you know we're gonna we're gonna discuss, you know, me 0:45:41.560 --> 0:45:44.879 and my wife's parenting strategies of you know, the late 0:45:44.920 --> 0:45:46.880 twenty tens, because it looks like we might have had 0:45:46.880 --> 0:45:48.839 a few misses and we'll come right back. 0:45:49.960 --> 0:45:51.080 By the way, that never happened. 0:45:51.120 --> 0:45:53.759 It was just for the Oh that's what you always say, 0:45:54.040 --> 0:45:57.640 like anyone whenever, just so you know, a little little 0:45:57.640 --> 0:46:00.319 pro tip is another wisdom for my buddy life. Well, 0:46:01.000 --> 0:46:04.520 anything you say on the air, that thing causes blowback 0:46:04.560 --> 0:46:07.759 in your real life. You just say, what are you 0:46:07.800 --> 0:46:10.840 talking about? We're entertainers just for the show. Like you're 0:46:11.040 --> 0:46:14.120 resting Johnny Depp for being a drug trafficker, don't you 0:46:14.200 --> 0:46:17.560 see blow No, you're not like we're just performing here 0:46:17.640 --> 0:46:18.600 even though it's all true. 0:46:18.640 --> 0:46:20.279 Okay, well but it's not. 0:46:20.440 --> 0:46:21.200 It's not, it's not. 0:46:21.239 --> 0:46:23.399 I thought it would be a cool story, exactly. There 0:46:23.440 --> 0:46:25.279 you go, all right, we'll be. 0:46:25.280 --> 0:46:34.359 Right back, all right, welcome back in what's right? Nick? Right? 0:46:34.400 --> 0:46:37.440 Final segment. Try to be quick here, because not shockingly, 0:46:37.440 --> 0:46:39.480 our first two segments both went a little over. So 0:46:40.320 --> 0:46:42.799 I said, we're still gonna be doing three pods a 0:46:42.840 --> 0:46:45.200 week most weeks. And by the way, also next week 0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:48.760 we're off. Next week, I'm going to Italy one last vacation, 0:46:48.840 --> 0:46:51.520 and then we're gonna be on until through the end 0:46:51.560 --> 0:46:54.520 of the Super Bowl. But once I come back, we're 0:46:54.520 --> 0:46:56.439 gonna be doing three pods a week, just like we've 0:46:56.440 --> 0:46:59.280 been doing. And we might even have a fancy new studio. 0:47:00.040 --> 0:47:01.879 Keep that under wraps for now, but at some point 0:47:01.960 --> 0:47:04.640 it's coming and we'll show that to you guys. But 0:47:05.440 --> 0:47:07.440 we're not gonna be doing the fifty years players in 0:47:07.440 --> 0:47:10.120 the last fifty years, and I don't have another ready 0:47:10.160 --> 0:47:12.000 made list that I've been working on for a couple 0:47:12.000 --> 0:47:14.600 of years. So what is going to come in place 0:47:14.840 --> 0:47:17.480 of that third pod a week, and the answer is 0:47:17.560 --> 0:47:20.239 during NFL season is gonna be a gambling show. So 0:47:21.120 --> 0:47:23.080 there's going to be a lot of elements here that 0:47:23.120 --> 0:47:26.040 we are still working out. One of them is, while 0:47:26.040 --> 0:47:28.920 Demonse's a football fan and watches the games, he does 0:47:28.960 --> 0:47:32.360 not bet on football, and in fact it does not 0:47:32.520 --> 0:47:35.440 even as I think maybe a lot of you is 0:47:35.440 --> 0:47:38.839 not familiar with things like teasers and some of the 0:47:38.880 --> 0:47:41.920 exotics that are big in football. By the way, a 0:47:41.960 --> 0:47:44.560 little if you can still get down on it. I 0:47:44.560 --> 0:47:47.319 think my favorite bet of week one is a two 0:47:47.440 --> 0:47:53.120 team six point teaser where you're gonna tease the Bengals 0:47:53.160 --> 0:47:56.279 to a pick them at home against the Steelers and 0:47:56.320 --> 0:48:01.480 whatever doufest they tried out at quarterback and the Broncos 0:48:01.520 --> 0:48:04.680 to a pick them at Seattle where they're gonna annihilate 0:48:05.160 --> 0:48:08.200 the Seattle Seahawks, or there's just no chance Russell Wilson. 0:48:08.320 --> 0:48:10.279 I'm not big Russell Wilson, ever, there's no chance they 0:48:10.320 --> 0:48:12.959 lose to that Seahawks team that's starting either Drew Locker 0:48:13.000 --> 0:48:16.520 or Gino Smith. So a nice little early preseason two 0:48:16.560 --> 0:48:19.880 team teaser start your season off right. So we are 0:48:19.920 --> 0:48:24.399 going to do a weekly gambling show, and I am 0:48:24.480 --> 0:48:31.000 going to try to get other media members across not 0:48:31.080 --> 0:48:34.760 just Fox, but across you know, all of national media 0:48:35.400 --> 0:48:40.759 to enter into an official picks contest of Now, this 0:48:40.840 --> 0:48:42.560 will part of this will be part of what we 0:48:42.600 --> 0:48:44.840 do on the show. We're gonna We're gonna kind of 0:48:44.880 --> 0:48:47.520 iron all this out, but I would like to get 0:48:47.560 --> 0:48:51.440 all of as many national media members as possible to 0:48:51.480 --> 0:48:53.960 put you know, call it five hundred bucks, a thousand bucks, 0:48:54.000 --> 0:48:55.200 whatever it is for the season. 0:48:55.560 --> 0:48:55.799 You know. 0:48:55.880 --> 0:48:58.840 So it's not weekly or anything like that, but every 0:48:58.840 --> 0:49:01.520 week we give our picks like the Las Vegas Hilton 0:49:01.600 --> 0:49:04.000 Super Contest or whatever it's called now and at the 0:49:04.080 --> 0:49:06.760 end of the year we have a winner. Going into 0:49:06.840 --> 0:49:09.680 the year, though a little preview if you are curious 0:49:09.960 --> 0:49:14.200 what I am on headed into the season. As far 0:49:14.239 --> 0:49:19.280 as season long win totals, where I'm at, I really 0:49:19.400 --> 0:49:24.560 like the Jags over six and a half wins at 0:49:24.600 --> 0:49:28.400 plus money. I believe in Trevor Lawrence. I think Trevor 0:49:28.440 --> 0:49:32.640 I think quarterbacks of that caliber plus the Doug Peterson 0:49:32.680 --> 0:49:38.080 addition in that division. Can the Jacksonville Jaguars win seven games? 0:49:38.360 --> 0:49:42.280 And the answer is unequivocally yes, And you're getting plus 0:49:42.360 --> 0:49:44.840 money on that. And you might say Jacksonville was so 0:49:44.960 --> 0:49:48.520 bad last year. It's true, But Jacksonville on the schedule 0:49:48.560 --> 0:49:53.719 this year has Washington has two games against Houston, they 0:49:53.800 --> 0:49:56.880 also have they have six, they have Detroit, they have 0:49:56.920 --> 0:50:01.520 the Jets and the Giants. So that's six games against 0:50:01.520 --> 0:50:04.040 some of the worst teams in football. If they can 0:50:04.120 --> 0:50:08.280 just go call it four and two in those six games, 0:50:08.800 --> 0:50:13.319 can they find three wins in the rest of their schedule? Absolutely? 0:50:13.440 --> 0:50:17.040 In fact, I think the Jags could go nine and 0:50:17.160 --> 0:50:20.080 eight if everything falls right. As so, the Jags are 0:50:20.160 --> 0:50:23.560 one team that I'm very high on the season long over, 0:50:24.040 --> 0:50:27.040 as far as a season long under that I like 0:50:27.120 --> 0:50:36.000 a lot. I don't see how Denver gets to eleven wins, 0:50:36.360 --> 0:50:39.479 and right now their win total is sitting at ten. 0:50:40.280 --> 0:50:42.880 At ten and seven would be a push with the 0:50:43.480 --> 0:50:46.920 for the Broncos just to do this quickly the Broncos. 0:50:47.200 --> 0:50:50.640 How many wins do the Broncos need to have banked 0:50:51.239 --> 0:50:55.719 to get to eleven wins when you consider here is 0:50:56.280 --> 0:51:01.719 their final six games of the year, Baltimore home for 0:51:01.800 --> 0:51:06.560 the Chiefs, home for the Cardinals, at the Rams, at 0:51:06.640 --> 0:51:11.320 the Chiefs home for the Chargers. So that is six games. 0:51:11.640 --> 0:51:14.880 You have two against the Chiefs, one against the defending 0:51:14.960 --> 0:51:21.319 champion Rams, one against one in Baltimore. Arizona is the 0:51:21.360 --> 0:51:24.439 only easy game, and they were a playoff team last year, 0:51:24.640 --> 0:51:27.160 and then home for the Chargers to end the year. 0:51:27.600 --> 0:51:33.600 So even if they are eight and three through eleven weeks, 0:51:34.000 --> 0:51:37.400 are they a lot to get to eleven wins? Absolutely not. 0:51:38.040 --> 0:51:42.799 Are they like if they're nine and two, are they 0:51:42.840 --> 0:51:45.440 a lot to get to eleven wins? No, they're likely, 0:51:45.880 --> 0:51:48.919 but they could at nine and two. I'm sorry, they're 0:51:49.040 --> 0:51:51.080 nine and two and they will go two and four 0:51:51.400 --> 0:51:54.480 down the stretch shore. So I guess point is this 0:51:55.360 --> 0:52:00.359 Denver under ten I like a lot, Jacksonville over six 0:52:00.400 --> 0:52:02.600 and a half, I like a lot. And that tease 0:52:03.320 --> 0:52:07.320 of the Bengals to a pick them and the Broncos 0:52:07.320 --> 0:52:09.319 to a pick them. You're not saying Nick saying the 0:52:09.320 --> 0:52:11.359 Broncos under, and you're putting the Broncos in the tease, 0:52:11.520 --> 0:52:13.160 hanging the Broncos and start that you're two and oh 0:52:13.200 --> 0:52:16.160 they start at Seattle and home for Houston. But they 0:52:16.200 --> 0:52:18.719 need to start the year basically seven and one in 0:52:18.840 --> 0:52:20.479 order to hit that over. Give them what their second 0:52:20.520 --> 0:52:23.360 f schedule is so more of that, plus some games 0:52:23.400 --> 0:52:27.120 and some contests between Demanse and I during our weekly 0:52:27.239 --> 0:52:29.759 gambling show that'll be coming up later in the week. 0:52:30.080 --> 0:52:32.760 One more pod this week, then I go to Italy 0:52:32.840 --> 0:52:36.080 and we're back full force with the NFL season. That's 0:52:36.160 --> 0:52:36.759 today's show. 0:52:37.800 --> 0:52:40.080 Goodbye, folks. Remember what I said.
