Speaker 4: I would so much rather it be dark early in
Speaker 4: the morning than dark early.
Speaker 3: In the evening.
Speaker 4: Welcome in episode two of What's Right with Nick Wright
Speaker 4: the podcast.
Speaker 3: The YouTube show. We would greatly appreciate if you would.
Speaker 4: Subscribe on YouTube and on your favorite podcast platform others iTunes, Spotify.
Speaker 4: We'll explain the show in just a moment, but a
Speaker 4: little podcast drama behind the scenes. Our very first episode,
Speaker 4: Episode one skyrocketed us somehow to number four on the
Speaker 4: iTunes podcast charts, behind three legendary podcasts, Pardon My Take,
Speaker 4: the Bill Simmons Podcast, and The Levotard Show, or you
Speaker 4: know what I should call it, The Stugotts Mike Ryan, Roy, Bellamy,
Speaker 4: Chris Cody with Dan Levittard writing their coat tails because.
Speaker 3: That's how I feel.
Speaker 4: Because instead of in being happy for us being right there,
Speaker 4: Levotard got a little scared of the competition, started sending
Speaker 4: out mean tweets memes of me, and then.
Speaker 3: It dawned on me. You know why he was scared.
Speaker 4: You know why he was upset because me and the
Speaker 4: young man you're about to meet in a moment have
Speaker 4: a chance to replace Dan and Poppy as the greatest
Speaker 4: father son duo in sports television, podcast, YouTube show history.
Speaker 3: But before we get to him or.
Speaker 4: What we're doing today, let's talk about what we're not
Speaker 4: doing today. Here's what is not on the show. No
Speaker 4: more Levatard, slander and I canna say his name anymore.
Speaker 4: Aaron judgment on the show, NCAA upset picking on the show,
Speaker 4: and oh my god, hold on, demanse is that true?
Speaker 4: Lebron James is not on today's show.
Speaker 3: I don't believe so, oh my, all right, look, Lebron
Speaker 3: not on the show.
Speaker 4: That's a huge upset. Here's how the show works. It's
Speaker 4: me against the producers. It's me against the clock. Clock's
Speaker 4: gonna pop up on your screen in just a moment
Speaker 4: if you're watching on YouTube. I have about ten minutes
Speaker 4: in its first segment. So we gotta get going, demanse,
Speaker 4: what is our first topic.
Speaker 3: Let's check in on the MVP race.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yo Kitchen and indeed went head to head this Monday. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Yo Kids nearly had another ship will double. What would
Speaker 2: Yo Kitchen have to do to get your fraudulent vote?
Speaker 4: Oh okay, I don't have an NBA MVP vote.
Speaker 3: Now why do I not have an NBA MVP vote?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe because I have the courage to not fall victim
Speaker 4: to group think. Maybe because I not a limit. That's
Speaker 4: just like, well, it has to be Jokich or Embiid,
Speaker 4: Embiid or Yokic. Just like last year. If you don't
Speaker 4: vote for Nikola Jokic, you have a bias against the good.
Speaker 3: You're an idiot. No.
Speaker 4: Last year, I vote voted Yokic second. Now I send
Speaker 4: in my vote, my ballot top five, the NBA sends
Speaker 4: it back to me one day, they'll give me an
Speaker 4: actual vote. This year, I would right now have him
Speaker 4: fourth or fifth. I have embiid Giannis and Luca ahead
Speaker 4: of him. Now there is enough time where Jokic could
Speaker 4: get my MVP vote. Now it's going to be hard
Speaker 4: because at present they're the sixth seed. They are a
Speaker 4: game and a half out of the play in tournament.
Speaker 4: And we have seen this story before with a bad
Speaker 4: MVP decision. It was just five years ago the sixth
Speaker 4: seed in the West. One guy had the ball in
Speaker 4: his hands the whole game. He had unbelievable numbers, averages
Speaker 4: a triple double, and.
Speaker 3: He won the MVP. That was Russell Westbrook.
Speaker 4: This year, Jokic, he's not averaging a triple double, but
Speaker 4: he has unbelievable numbers for a team that's not winning
Speaker 4: that much, and they want to give him the MVP.
Speaker 4: So I'm not saying he's ineligible. But all MVPs, aside
Speaker 4: from Russ in my lifetime have been on winning teams,
Speaker 4: teams that have real championship aspirations. The Nuggets do not
Speaker 4: we already made this mistake last year and to double
Speaker 4: down and for Jokicic to be back to back MVPs.
Speaker 2: But wait, hold on, hold on, while would Jokics winning
Speaker 2: back to back MVPs make you so upset?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 4: So that's a good question, And it's because folks can
Speaker 4: act like history doesn't matter in this award. They can
Speaker 4: act like, no, it's this individual season in a vacuum.
Speaker 4: But that is simply not true because not that long ago,
Speaker 4: by the way, Steve Nash won back to back MVPs
Speaker 4: and the next year, the third year of his run,
Speaker 4: by any metric, was his best year, and did he win? No,
Speaker 4: why didn't he win? Because voters are like, come on,
Speaker 4: three straight MVPs. That's only Bird, Wilt and Russell who
Speaker 4: have done that. We're not putting Nash on that list.
Speaker 4: So I don't think it's unfair to say, Demanse, there
Speaker 4: have been a dozen guys and back to back MVPs.
Speaker 4: And in fact, you know what, I'm gonna pull up,
Speaker 4: Bill Simmons, turn the cameras on, even though the cameras
Speaker 4: are already on.
Speaker 3: Hey, let's put.
Speaker 4: This out on social because I think I can do
Speaker 4: this in order the back to back MVPs count. See
Speaker 4: if I get to twelve demons, do it, and we'll
Speaker 4: do it in reverse order, and then you'll see why
Speaker 4: Jokic joining this list would be such a problem. So
Speaker 4: Jannis did it, Steph did it before, Steph Lebrond did
Speaker 4: before him, Steve Nash did it. Remember that before him
Speaker 4: was Tim Duncan, Before him was Michael Jordan. Before that
Speaker 4: was Magic, then Larry, then Moses. People forget that Kareem,
Speaker 4: Wilt and Russell.
Speaker 3: Is that twelve twelve exactly? Okay?
Speaker 4: So think about those twelve guys. It's eleven of the
Speaker 4: fifteen greatest players in the.
Speaker 3: History of the sport and Steve Nash. If you add
Speaker 3: Nikolajokic to that list.
Speaker 4: I'm just curious if they all got together, I under
Speaker 4: if they all got together and they were hanging out
Speaker 4: in a room, does Jokic get to hang out with Kareem,
Speaker 4: Michael Lebron and Magic or's he over in the other
Speaker 4: corner with Steve Nash, Like, yeah, I don't know how
Speaker 4: we got I got in here either.
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 4: By the way, did you know you probably won't believe
Speaker 4: me on this. Did you know I can name every
Speaker 4: MVP in order from Jokic last year until at least
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty and maybe since the first MVP was ever
Speaker 4: given out?
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I mean I wouldn't put it past.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 4: In fact, you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna try
Speaker 4: to do it from memory, every MVP through at least
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty, maybe through the first MVP ever given which
Speaker 4: I think was nineteen fifty nine. For the seventies, it
Speaker 4: gets a little confusing. Oh my god, look at the clock.
Speaker 4: We got less than sick. Why did you let me
Speaker 4: keep going? Okay, what are we doing now?
Speaker 3: What's next?
Speaker 2: So some Baker Mayfield drama? Yeah, the Browns are considering
Speaker 2: a Watson trade.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: Baker responded with a super emo Twitter post. It looks
Speaker 2: like things are headed toward divorce. What do you making
Speaker 2: this situation?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 4: I think this is a good lesson for anyone out
Speaker 4: there that because let me let me back up with this.
Speaker 4: I don't blame Baker for being pissed. I don't blame
Speaker 4: Baker for saying, you've got to be kidding me. I
Speaker 4: did everything you guys have asked for me aside from
Speaker 4: play better, and I understand that's a big part of it.
Speaker 4: And you are now considering not only moving on for me,
Speaker 4: but moving on for me for a guy who a
Speaker 4: few days ago was finding out whether or not a
Speaker 4: grand jury was gonna charge him with some horrific crimes
Speaker 4: like that. So this whole represent the city, represent the franchise, right,
Speaker 4: throw that out the window. But this is so I'd
Speaker 4: be pissed if I were Baker too, I'd be like,
Speaker 4: you gotta.
Speaker 3: We just were the Cleveland Browns.
Speaker 4: We just won a playoff game a year ago, and
Speaker 4: you're moving on for me. But here is the other lesson,
Speaker 4: and it's actually two lessons. There are a couple what
Speaker 4: I call what are you calling? What are the things
Speaker 4: on the bumper sticker?
Speaker 3: You couldn't think of? Bumper stickers were called?
Speaker 4: You could to help me out there, pal, Jeez, Luis,
Speaker 4: I didn't give you a lot of the pointers, but
Speaker 4: I was. I was trying to, yeah, do a little there,
Speaker 4: a little bumper sticker wisdom. One is bet on yourself.
Speaker 4: Yeah that sounds great, So you bet on yourself and lose.
Speaker 4: And the other one and this is what the old
Speaker 4: school football guys would tell you rub some dirt on it.
Speaker 3: Play through injury.
Speaker 4: Ronnie Lot chopped the tip of his pinky off to
Speaker 4: play and play every okay, Baker Mayfield. Last year, through
Speaker 4: six weeks, the Browns were three and three. The three
Speaker 4: losses were high. I think thirty three to twenty nine
Speaker 4: to the Chiefs, no shame in that, forty seven forty
Speaker 4: two to the Chargers, a crazy game. You can't blame
Speaker 4: maker for that. And then a loss to the Cardinals.
Speaker 4: So three losses against three good teams. He had a
Speaker 4: passer rating of nearly one hundred in the mid high
Speaker 4: nineties two to one touchdown interception ratio.
Speaker 3: What happened in week six?
Speaker 4: He got his labroom torn and instead of having surgery,
Speaker 4: missed one week like I'm gonna play and the rest
Speaker 4: of the you he was terrible. The Browns were terrible,
Speaker 4: and now they're shipping him out or they by the
Speaker 4: time you hear this, they might have already shipped him out.
Speaker 3: And certainly it's on the board. Man. He bet on himself.
Speaker 3: He played through injury.
Speaker 4: And everyone applauded him for it cost him tens of
Speaker 4: millions of dollars and maybe now he has to move cities.
Speaker 4: So I don't blame Baker for being pissed. I get
Speaker 4: the Browns wanting to upgrade, but I think this is
Speaker 4: I don't think he's.
Speaker 3: Been handled right by any parties. All Right, what's next?
Speaker 2: So the Warriors are looking terrifying again, I know, and
Speaker 2: Steph is looking like an MVP. Right is they got
Speaker 2: Draymond back? Okay, forget this year's title. Do you think
Speaker 2: do you think Steph could be considered as one of
Speaker 2: the all time greats if he needs Draymond Green this badly?
Speaker 4: Oh that's an interesting angle. I thought we were gonna
Speaker 4: talk about this year's title. So listen, we're gonna do
Speaker 4: as part of this What's Right show, we're gonna do
Speaker 4: the fifty grades players last fifty years. And obviously Steph's
Speaker 4: not only on the list, very high on the list.
Speaker 4: To me, he is without question one of the greatest
Speaker 4: players ever.
Speaker 3: But he is.
Speaker 4: But what you're saying about the need for Draymond because
Speaker 4: Steph is having the worst shooting year of his career,
Speaker 4: including his rookie season, the worst years this year, and
Speaker 4: then the day they get Draymond back, he drops forty
Speaker 4: seven and it was more than that Draymond. He was
Speaker 4: on the court with Draymond for fifteen minutes that game.
Speaker 4: He scored forty one in the fifteen minutes he was
Speaker 4: on with Draymond. He scored six in the twenty some
Speaker 4: minutes when Draymond won on the court.
Speaker 3: So, yes, because of Steph's.
Speaker 4: Size, having Draymond out there as another ball handler, as
Speaker 4: another distributor, and as a guy who can help him
Speaker 4: out defensively helps him immensely. However, he's clearly unequivocally this
Speaker 4: is me defending Steph Curry.
Speaker 3: One of the greatest players we've ever seen, and we.
Speaker 4: Did see without question him be the best player on
Speaker 4: a championship team. The only other little guy to do
Speaker 4: that's Isaiah Thomas, the original, real Isaiah Thomas. So he's
Speaker 4: without question one of the all time greats. But then
Speaker 4: we get back to when we were talking about.
Speaker 3: The back to back MVPs, the fifteen.
Speaker 4: Greatest players ever. When you measure him up against those guys, Okay.
Speaker 3: That's my older daughter tell me you gotta be quick.
Speaker 3: I'll be quick here.
Speaker 4: When you measure him against those guys, then you start
Speaker 4: to factor in the Okay, how much. Does you know
Speaker 4: how much was he a system unto himself? How much
Speaker 4: was he in the right system? All those things? Because
Speaker 4: a guy who has fewer rings, fewer MVPs, but is
Speaker 4: a better all time player than Steph Curry, different position obviously,
Speaker 4: a king, so a Keeme only really played for the Rockets,
Speaker 4: but a Teme, it didn't matter. It was around him,
Speaker 4: he was going to be successful. And I mean he won.
Speaker 4: He won a title before Drexler got there, with no
Speaker 4: other All Stars on the team. So that's where he's
Speaker 4: still an all time great. But we're talking about top
Speaker 4: ten all time. This type of thing probably cost Steph
Speaker 4: that still clearly firmly in the top twenty all time. Okay,
Speaker 4: we're gonna go a little overtime because I see caps
Speaker 4: on the string and we only have twenty seconds left
Speaker 4: corner of the clock. I'm over two through two shows
Speaker 4: of actually listening to the clock. Demanse, what's the last topic.
Speaker 2: We saw Cap throws some passes to Tyler Lockett this week? Yeah,
Speaker 2: Tyler Lockett's his cap is ready. Do you think he
Speaker 2: ever gets the shot to play football game?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: And demons, you know this.
Speaker 4: I I'm as big of a CAP supporter and fan
Speaker 4: as anybody. There's been what probably a half dozen times
Speaker 4: since we've moved to New York where we've had a
Speaker 4: package delivered to the house and I opened I was like, Oh,
Speaker 4: it's from CAP. Yeah, the he and I I haven't Now,
Speaker 4: I want to be clear on this. I haven't talked
Speaker 4: to him in the last year. I haven't seen him. No, well,
Speaker 4: I I haven't talked to him in the last nine months
Speaker 4: at least, and I haven't seen him in person a
Speaker 4: couple of years. But I have been a fervent, embihement
Speaker 4: supporter of his. And with that I say, I don't
Speaker 4: even think he thinks he's getting back in the league.
Speaker 4: The story with Colin Kaepernick is not that teams still
Speaker 4: won't give him a shot. The story with Colin Kaepernick
Speaker 4: is the blackballing was successful, and the NFL can put
Speaker 4: into racism on their helmets and Roger Goodell can say,
Speaker 4: you know about how he wishes it had gone a
Speaker 4: different way, and I believe him that he wishes this
Speaker 4: had gone a different way, but it didn't. And the
Speaker 4: point of blackballing a guy is to make sure he
Speaker 4: never plays again. And even if the league now was
Speaker 4: in a different place. Even if you had if I
Speaker 4: bought a team, okay, say or I was the GM
Speaker 4: of a team, I don't know that I would bring
Speaker 4: Cap in because it's been five years. Like they the
Speaker 4: you know, the powers that be won now Cap won
Speaker 4: the argument. Cap is obviously on the right side of
Speaker 4: history on this, but at this point, when I see
Speaker 4: him work out, I think it's more for show and
Speaker 4: for a reminder of what was stolen from him, Because
Speaker 4: there was a time shortly after the blackballing started where
Speaker 4: he clearly was good enough to be a starter, and
Speaker 4: then there was a time a couple of years after
Speaker 4: the black balling started where he clearly was good enough
Speaker 4: to be a backup to be on a roster. But
Speaker 4: now five years outside of football, I've been doing my
Speaker 4: TV show for five years, I've never covered one Cap
Speaker 4: football game. That's how long he's been gone. The last
Speaker 4: time he played man we lived in Houston. Think about
Speaker 4: how long ago that was. You were a junior in
Speaker 4: high school the last time Cap was playing football.
Speaker 3: A long time.
Speaker 4: And so at this point, I don't think teams not
Speaker 4: bringing him in means he's still blackball I think at
Speaker 4: this point teams not bringing him in means the blackballing
Speaker 4: was unfortunately and tragically successful.
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.

Speaker 4: Welcome back in What's Right with Nick Wright Podcast and
Speaker 4: YouTube show. I went long in the first segment, as
Speaker 4: I have done each of our first two episodes. We'll
Speaker 4: try to do better for episode three. So we got
Speaker 4: to get right to it. Demons and I are going
Speaker 4: to play a game. It's a new game.
Speaker 3: Everything's new. The whole damn show's new. It's called this
Speaker 3: or that. What's first up the most or that?
Speaker 2: Who is more offended by your latest player rankings between
Speaker 2: Tatum and Kyrie.
Speaker 4: Oh so that's interesting, and these are also two of
Speaker 4: your favorite guys. You're a Celtics fan, you love Jason Tatum.
Speaker 4: You also we were watching the other night Kyrie's sixty
Speaker 4: point game and you're just in awe. Now we're going
Speaker 4: to full disclosure. Demonse and I were not like, oh god,
Speaker 4: Nets Magic about to start clear the calendars. But once
Speaker 4: we saw Kyrie had thirty early in the second quarter, like,
Speaker 4: maybe should turn that thing on one side. Before I
Speaker 4: even answer the question, sidebar Bad job by Steve Nash.
Speaker 4: Steve Nash Kevin Wilds made this point on the TV
Speaker 4: show this morning. Except right, Steve Nash been running players
Speaker 4: into the ground, laying him forty four, forty five, forty
Speaker 4: six minutes his whole tenure coaching the Nets. Kyrie has
Speaker 4: a chance to score seventy or eighty, and he takes
Speaker 4: him out early in the fourth because he gets sixty.
Speaker 3: Bad job.
Speaker 4: But this is a response to I said with my
Speaker 4: buddy Colin Cowherd that I thought Jason Tatum was the
Speaker 4: eighteenth best player in the sport.
Speaker 3: He's like, all right, list the seventeen ahead of them.
Speaker 4: So I did, and I'm not gonna do it now,
Speaker 4: but it's it's nine guys everyone agrees with. And then
Speaker 4: there's some argument, who would you have Tatum or Donovan
Speaker 4: Mitchell Tatum or Jammeran Tatum or Devin Booker Tatum or
Speaker 4: Paul George, Like it's in that gray area. But the
Speaker 4: reason I said that was because everyone's like, oh, Jason
Speaker 4: TAM's top ten guy, Like, no, he's not. He might
Speaker 4: be one day, but he's not yet a top ten guy.
Speaker 4: And then we were looking at that list, Demonse and
Speaker 4: I were and you were like, hold on, so you
Speaker 4: have Tatum ranked too low, but you also have him
Speaker 4: ahead of Kyrie, which means I had Kyrie outside of
Speaker 4: the top eighteen. And then he goes and drops sixty,
Speaker 4: so nobody can doubt Kyrie's talent. But and so in all,
Speaker 4: I answered the question in a moment, But I think
Speaker 4: this would if I said, let me ask you this, Demansey,
Speaker 4: do you think there's been any point in Kyrie's career,
Speaker 4: at any point he's been a top ten player?
Speaker 3: I do, yes, And you do you think most people
Speaker 3: agree with you?
Speaker 4: Yes? I think if I if I came on this
Speaker 4: show and I said, Kyrie's never been a top ten player.
Speaker 4: Would people think of that as a hot take? No,
Speaker 4: like a hot take like I'm being outrageous. Oh yes,
Speaker 4: they would think I'm being insedive. Okay, So here's what's
Speaker 4: interesting about that. You guys don't me for not having
Speaker 4: MVP votes, not having any awards.
Speaker 3: Vote.
Speaker 4: Every year at the end of the year, we vote, well,
Speaker 4: the people who have votes, not me, on who the
Speaker 4: top ten players are. It's called first team and second
Speaker 4: team All NBA. Would it surprise you to find out
Speaker 4: Kyrie Irving has once in his career been second Team
Speaker 4: All NBA and that's it. No first teams won second team?
Speaker 4: Would this surprise you? How many Top five MVP finishes
Speaker 4: is Kyrie zero? How many Top ten MVP finishes it's
Speaker 4: Kyrie zero? How many Top twenty MVP finishes is Kyrie zero?
Speaker 4: Because he's never received a single MVP vote? I say
Speaker 4: all that's say this, nobody doubts his talent. But if
Speaker 4: because of injury or absence or vaccination or whatever, if
Speaker 4: at the end of every single year you play, there's
Speaker 4: a vote on who's a top ten guy and you
Speaker 4: never make it, then I guess you're not top ten guy.
Speaker 4: So I say, I say this, Jason Tatums should probably
Speaker 4: be more offended. Jason Tames rebul like, Hey, Nick, I'm
Speaker 4: better than Donovan Mitchell. All right, God, I am bad
Speaker 4: at the clock thing that was supposed to be a
Speaker 4: ninety seconds each those three and a half minutes.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go way faster. All right, what's next, let's
Speaker 3: do it?
Speaker 2: What happens first Ben Simmons plays basketball again? Or we
Speaker 2: start talking about baseball?
Speaker 3: Well, that really is a question.
Speaker 4: Will Ben Simmons play basketball again before the baseball playoffs start?
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna say Ben Simmons plays basketball again.
Speaker 3: Spoiler alert for the show.
Speaker 4: I can't what would have to happen for baseball to
Speaker 4: crack the show before late September, And, by the.
Speaker 3: Way, late September's football season, baseball might never crack the show. Okay,
Speaker 3: what's next?
Speaker 2: What's funnier Randy Gregory flipping on Dallas or the Giants
Speaker 2: quarterback situation.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's definitely the Giants quarterback situation. The Randy Gregory
Speaker 4: thing is only funny if people don't know Randy Gregory
Speaker 4: had a deal in place with the Cowboys and then
Speaker 4: they inserted language that didn't say if you get to
Speaker 4: we can voiger guarantees. They said, if you get fined,
Speaker 4: we can void your guarantees, which is real tricky these days,
Speaker 4: because guys get fined for bad hits on a quarterback.
Speaker 4: You get fined for socks being the wrong color. So
Speaker 4: Randy Gregory said, I'm not signing that. You got to
Speaker 4: take that language out. They wouldn't, so we signed the
Speaker 4: exact same contract without the language with the Broncos. Kind
Speaker 4: of sucks for my chiefs, by the way, Broncos keep
Speaker 4: adding pieces. But the Randy Gregory thing in and of
Speaker 4: itself wasn't that funny. It was only funny because it
Speaker 4: allows us to bring back you have. This happened before
Speaker 4: you were born. Once upon a time, after Lebron's first
Speaker 4: or second year with the Calves, Carlos Boozer was playing
Speaker 4: for the Calves. I think he was second round pick,
Speaker 4: so he was making no money and he had played
Speaker 4: really well, and the Calves had the option to just
Speaker 4: you know, basically pick up the next year of his
Speaker 4: rookie deal, pay him like no money, or they could
Speaker 4: decline it and pay him a bunch more money. But
Speaker 4: once you decline it he didn't theoretically can sign with anybody.
Speaker 4: So they the agent goes to the owner of the
Speaker 4: calves and Carlos Boozer denies this, but this is the
Speaker 4: legend and I believe it to be true. And they're like, listen,
Speaker 4: we want you your long term. We'll decline the option.
Speaker 4: The owner of the calves at the time happened to
Speaker 4: be a blind gentleman, and that kind of added to
Speaker 4: the story, so they they could have just had him
Speaker 4: for like a million bucks. Instead, they're like, okay, well,
Speaker 4: we'll decline your options, sign you long term. Carlos Boozer
Speaker 4: left to go play for the Jazz Wow just and
Speaker 4: everyone's like, oh my god, Carlos Boozer stabbed a blind
Speaker 4: man in the back. I remember reading those blog posts. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's what everybody said. So this was not that. The
Speaker 4: funnier situation is that the New York Giants are gonna
Speaker 4: roll out there.
Speaker 1: Seriously though, hurry up.
Speaker 3: Okay, doora, that's my daughter. Quit it.
Speaker 4: That they're gonna run out there Daniel Jones as their
Speaker 4: starting quarterback with a Tyrod Taylor sweetener. That's the funnier thing.
Speaker 4: The Giants have been an absolute debacle. It's amazing what's
Speaker 4: happened to the last decade. But their quarterback situations aren't
Speaker 4: worse than the league. All right, Oh, it's okay. What's
Speaker 4: what's next?
Speaker 3: What are we doing?
Speaker 2: Reveal one of these your final four or your favorite
Speaker 2: DM about the show launch.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's easy. I'm gonna I'm gonna tweak it a bit.
Speaker 4: It's not my favorite DM, it's my favorite text.
Speaker 3: And this is a sweet moment and then a hilarious moment.
Speaker 4: So my favorite text came from your aunt, my sister Joanna.
Speaker 3: She watched it and was so excited and happy and thought.
Speaker 4: You did great. It really warmed my heart. Here's why
Speaker 4: that's unique. So my sister, who I love and adore.
Speaker 4: You know, I have very small family, and she's my
Speaker 4: only sibling, my sister. The reason that was my favorite
Speaker 4: was because it meant she watched something that I had created.
Speaker 3: Because this is a true story.
Speaker 4: She was the last holiday we were together, the last
Speaker 4: time we were together, our families were together. My wife
Speaker 4: Danielle was showing my sister some picture of one of
Speaker 4: our daughters in the house, and this thing right here
Speaker 4: was in the background. This thing has been in my
Speaker 4: house since the start of the pandemic. I've been doing.
Speaker 4: This is the background right here for the TV show.
Speaker 4: And my sister says to my wife, what is that
Speaker 4: blue thing in your living room?
Speaker 3: And I'm just sitting back there. I'm like, oh, glad you.
Speaker 4: Watched the TV show on every day in the last
Speaker 4: two years, it's been right there.
Speaker 3: You haven't called one segment.
Speaker 4: There hasn't been one take that you were like, oh,
Speaker 4: let's see, Oh, there was the.
Speaker 3: Super Bowl last night. Let's see what my brother might
Speaker 3: say about it. Nope, didn't even know. Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3: So point is so the fact.
Speaker 4: That she watched our first episode is more testament to
Speaker 4: you than to me.
Speaker 3: But that was my favorite one. All right, what's next?
Speaker 2: Daylight savings time should exist or it shouldn't exist.
Speaker 3: Of course it should exist. The rare good job by Congress.
Speaker 4: And then because everybody has to have a countertake things,
Speaker 4: they're like, actually, we tried this in the seventies and
Speaker 4: everybody hated it.
Speaker 3: Well, let's threw them.
Speaker 4: They're like, oh, you're gonna wake up and it's gonna
Speaker 4: be pitch black. So what I would so much rather
Speaker 4: it be dark early than dark. I'm sorry, it'd be
Speaker 4: dark early in the morning than dark early in the evening.
Speaker 3: Of course, there's two.
Speaker 4: First of all, it's depressing when the sun goes down early.
Speaker 4: I don't mind waking up to it being dark or sad.
Speaker 3: When you have to get up anyway. And the other
Speaker 3: thing is, and here's the people that don't think about
Speaker 3: these takes. If you have, if you have kids, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna especially for me someone who has, you know, teenage daughter.
Speaker 4: I don't love her coming home you know, from the
Speaker 4: subway or whatever when it's dark out. And that means
Speaker 4: that come December, it's like, when do I gotta be home?
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Four forty five, like that's when the sun goes down.
Speaker 4: Of course, daylight saving the time should exist, just like
Speaker 4: this should exist.
Speaker 3: I'm taking that. You think we're done, We're not done.
Speaker 4: Who is more impressed with themselves, Karl, Anthony Towns or
Speaker 4: my sidekick son Demons Bird.
Speaker 3: I think we have some video to show you, guys.
Speaker 4: Let's see it take over responsibility to put this team
Speaker 4: on your back in that frame thirty two in the
Speaker 4: third quarter. Dang all right, Oh that's pretty good. What's now?
Speaker 4: What is the evidence of Demonse. Do we have video
Speaker 4: evidence of Demande being the charges? Is this the tom
Speaker 4: Brady's also bad? Yeah, that's that's the part of one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but do you think this is the official end
Speaker 2: of any chief status? Okay, you're being hazy, you're being
Speaker 2: haz if people are listening and not watching.
Speaker 4: That was more of a YouTube moment, Demanse. So let
Speaker 4: me take you behind the scenes here on what happened Demonse.
Speaker 4: That's his first show, first time, you know, officially on
Speaker 4: camera that clip there, and he's he thought he made
Speaker 4: a big error momentarily of leaving out the Tom Brady
Speaker 4: info there, and then he caught himself and fixed it,
Speaker 4: and then he thought he was off camera, but little
Speaker 4: do you know, you're never off camera. Buddy's always rolling
Speaker 4: camers while was running, and he did like a silent
Speaker 4: double fist.
Speaker 3: Yes, nailed it.
Speaker 4: Nobody will see that, and nobody would have noticed except
Speaker 4: you let everybody notice.
Speaker 3: So my answer there is actually Carl.
Speaker 4: Anthony Towns is still the one more impressed themselves because
Speaker 4: he really I think he knew he had thirty two
Speaker 4: in the third and he was just really trying to
Speaker 4: lean into it, like wow, thirty two in the third
Speaker 4: and Carl Anthony Towns was actually impressed with himself for
Speaker 4: an accomplishment as opposed to being somewhat happy he avoided
Speaker 4: a massive screw up. But by the way, I don't
Speaker 4: know if you know, there was already one moment during
Speaker 4: today's show when we were off air that I'm certain
Speaker 4: they were rolling on and I assume we'll be used against.
Speaker 3: You on as in the future.
Speaker 4: You gotta listen, man, you protect yourself at all times,
Speaker 4: like Floyd Mayweather said, protect yourself at all times. We'll
Speaker 4: be right back, welcome back. In one last segment, What's
Speaker 4: right with Nick Right? Podcast YouTube show? All right, we
Speaker 4: don't have a lot of time left. I feel like
Speaker 4: we've covered all the sports for the day demands.
Speaker 3: What's our last topic? All right? Just go ahead and
Speaker 3: get your stupid QR man out of the way. Please.
Speaker 3: Oh the QR codes, Thank you.
Speaker 4: I've been trying to get this in for rehearsal shows,
Speaker 4: for all these shows. All right, So I sit out
Speaker 4: a tweet when I was out of the country saying
Speaker 4: QR codes as menus as menu replacement is one of
Speaker 4: those things that is supposed to make your life better,
Speaker 4: and it is just immeasurably and in every way made
Speaker 4: things worse.
Speaker 3: And I stand by.
Speaker 4: People are like, oh, Nick, you've never worked in the
Speaker 4: service industry.
Speaker 3: You don't know what.
Speaker 4: I don't know what what a pain in the ASCID
Speaker 4: is to be like, hey, here's your menu, Like, oh,
Speaker 4: I owe Nick, but we like to update them daily.
Speaker 3: No you don't, Nick, I wasn't. That is correct.
Speaker 4: I was never a waiter. But let me tell you something, waiters,
Speaker 4: I'm saving your jobs because QR codes as menus or
Speaker 4: the Canarian the coal mine to you guys being replaced,
Speaker 4: because what's after QR codes's menus is you go from
Speaker 4: the QR code.
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, I think I might want the SIMP.
Speaker 3: Did I did?
Speaker 4: I just order it with my finger? Oh my gosh,
Speaker 4: I did. That's coming. So I'm saving your jobs. Just
Speaker 4: like another advancement that made things worse was the self
Speaker 4: checkout line. It's like, oh, this is nice. I just
Speaker 4: have a quart of milk. I don't want to wait
Speaker 4: in this line to just go whoop.
Speaker 3: Oh that's kind of fun.
Speaker 4: I get to use a little scanner like I want
Speaker 4: to do as a kid, tap to pay and I'm
Speaker 4: out of here. All of a sudden, you go to
Speaker 4: a Whole Foods lately, there's three people actually checking people out,
Speaker 4: and there's sixty of us doing that job. It's like,
Speaker 4: I gotta look up avocado. You got six types of avocado?
Speaker 4: How am I supposed to know?
Speaker 3: I gotta weigh this. Now.
Speaker 4: It's good if you like to steal, I understand that,
Speaker 4: But that can't be the real reason. That's the other
Speaker 4: thing these companies know. They know you're stealing from the
Speaker 4: self checkout. They're doing it anyway because it's like, well,
Speaker 4: it's still cheaper for us than actually, you know, employing people.
Speaker 4: But back to the men uses, QR codes, you got it.
Speaker 4: There's so many problems with it. First of all, if
Speaker 4: you don't have Wi Fi in your place, I might
Speaker 4: not even to get the menu. Second of all, now
Speaker 4: I'm on my phone already. I'm on my phone. Now,
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, I see a bad tweet from Demonse.
Speaker 4: I'm respond to that. I'm not engaging with the people
Speaker 4: around me. QR Coach's menus add no benefit whatsoever. They're awful,
Speaker 4: they're a job killer, they're irritating, they're bad for social
Speaker 4: Mora's such as, put your damn phone away and let's
Speaker 4: have a conversation with people, get rid of them.
Speaker 3: I feel a lot better. That's the show. We might
Speaker 3: have a little bonus segment of me listening with times that, oh,
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm gonna.
Speaker 4: Call Dior down here and make her listen to me
Speaker 4: list to these MVPs.
Speaker 3: She does that again. That's the show. Be back with
Speaker 3: episode three soon.
