Speaker 1: podcast to break down the latest episode. At one point

27
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: we started debating which former Survivor contestants we would want

28
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: at our bachelor parties. So that was a fun cue

29
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: that we tackled on the fly. So go check it

30
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:47,960

33
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: Drop hit the Beach, answer a few of your questions.

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: How is the beach lee? You're enjoying it? You dip

35
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: in your toes and say.

36
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: It's windy. It's very very windy, damn here, but it's

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: classic a little bit chilly when you jump in, but

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 3: once you get in, it's beautiful on the.

39
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: Okay, good, good, Well we'll hit the proverbial beach. Air

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: Task has tweeted the night. You know, we got rapid

41
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: fire questions because it is a drop podcast. But guys,

42
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: for the third consecutive night, Yeah, boys, got a weggie.

43
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: That's right National TV Weggie with Brian Anderson on the call,

44
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: which was great because Grant Williams sticks the three pointer

45
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: weggie there in the corner and it was a Weggie

46
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: with cheese, said Brian Anderson. An incredible call there in Milwaukee.

47
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: So Grant coming through with Weggie number thirty seven as

48
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: we inch our way up to at least hopefully tasks forty.

49
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: I guess we're on pace now because we count the

50
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: playoffs for forty one, says Weggie trackers. So maybe, maybe

51
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: maybe we cannot set the worst weggie mark of all time.

52
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,119
Speaker 2: For US thirty seven. That one's for run Our Test, Baby.

53
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: Classic Legie. Okay, so let's get into some of the

54
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: games from last night, and we start with what andrew

55
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: t is there? Yo Kitch the first player ever with

56
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: two thousand points, one thousand rebounds and five hundred sists

57
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: as he leads the Nuggets to a playoff berth in

58
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: a damn headband. And the question to ask, really off

59
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: of this is we only have a couple games less

60
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: has Yokitch with these? Hey call him arbitrary if you want,

61
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: but no one's done them with this type of milestone

62
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: here and then securing a playoff Berth, has Yokitch done

63
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: enough here to lock up a consecutive straight MVP in

64
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: your opinion.

65
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: Plus one headband. If wearing a headband didn't seal it

66
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: for people, then.

67
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 6: I don't know what will look for me. He's my MVP,

68
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 6: But I don't think this week has change it for

69
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 6: the Yannis or MBID voters. They probably like more points

70
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 6: per game like embid is given them or some other

71
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 6: Yanni stat. But to me, the stats, when you're looking

72
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 6: at the raw numbers are all pretty similar between those

73
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 6: three guys, and Jokic is far more efficient and that's

74
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 6: important in basketball as as not sexy it is to

75
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 6: talk about. You'd think his efficiency numbers would come down

76
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 6: because he doesn't have Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Junior

77
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 6: with him. But he's shooting sixty six percent in terms

78
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 6: of true shooting percentage. No one is close to that

79
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 6: number among stars of the league, and that number is

80
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 6: twos threes and free throws every time the ball leaves

81
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 6: his fingertips for a shot. He is the most efficient

82
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 6: player among all the stars. He's played hundreds of more

83
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 6: minutes than Joel Embiid and Yaistetakumpo as well. We're in

84
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 6: the hundreds. That's that's a legitimy. I'm not just not

85
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 6: just throwing that out there. That's legit. And I don't

86
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 6: think the best ability is availability, but it's pretty freaking important,

87
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 6: especially when it comes to hundreds of minutes. Now, the

88
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 6: haters will say Denver is the West sixth seed, most

89
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 6: likely they could finish as high as five, But to me,

90
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 6: the records are similar enough with the Sixers and the Bucks.

91
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 6: It's a couple wins below those teams, and for me, yeah,

92
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 6: across the board, it's Jokich. Now, the MVP is a

93
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 6: funny thing because you know, one game scenario, one serious scenario,

94
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 6: maybe you take Durant or some other player. If Michael

95
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 6: Porter Junior or Jamal Murray was there, maybe his numbers

96
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 6: come down and he's not the MVP all of a sudden.

97
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 6: But I think all those things together make him the

98
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 6: MVP for me, And it all depends on how you

99
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 6: look at it. But I feel good because I never

100
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 6: get these preseason MVP predictions right, and I finally picked

101
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 6: one that looks like it might come true. Who the

102
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 6: heck knows, but yeah, for me, Jokich is the best,

103
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 6: better than all the rest, better than everything.

104
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: What do you think, Ley, Have your opinion changed on

105
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: the MVP over the last couple nights here?

106
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: Key nights were probably more over the last week two

107
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 3: weeks or so, when I've just seen Giannis really just

108
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: put his stamp on games at most several times, you know,

109
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 3: notably against the Brooklyn Nets last week, where he has

110
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 3: kind of willed his team to victor with huge clutch shots,

111
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: massive moments, and he's done that, you know, probably a

112
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,119
Speaker 3: little bit more throughout the season, but it's been less

113
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: noticed because we've sort of have been noticing what Yokich

114
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: has been doing and what Joel and Bid is doing.

115
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: And I think Yannis's success in the past has probably

116
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 3: counted against him at times this season because it is

117
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: kind of like we want someone new there, and I

118
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: know Yokich obviously won it last season. Yoki has been great.

119
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 3: They're only two wins less than the Milwaukee Bucks here,

120
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: so he's got as strong a case as Yannis. But

121
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: I think when you come down to splitting hairs, I

122
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 3: just think yannis season has been absolutely remarkable and dominant

123
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: as well. And I think I've got the Bucks. Well,

124
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: I've had the Bucks pretty much favorite for the East

125
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: all season long, and I still do. And I think

126
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 3: that is the reason why I probably am leaning towards Yannas.

127
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: I've decided, you know, we have to get our final

128
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: votes in. But for everything that Jokic has done, and

129
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: he has been incredible, I'm probably just tilting towards Yannas.

130
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 3: I just think he has been a better player overall,

131
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: and I think he's been more dominant for his team,

132
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: and just again in some of those situations defensively, I

133
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: think he's obviously better as well than Jokic. Does that count?

134
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 3: Maybe it should, maybe it shouldn't, who knows. But I

135
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: just think Yannis on the box has got them back

136
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: into you know, favorite out of the East. And I

137
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: think the reason is is because when the bulls in

138
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: his hand, I just feel he's always going to try

139
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 3: to dominate and win the game. And Jokich as well.

140
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: But it's very very tight, it's very very close. You've

141
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: got to find a reason to pick one over the other,

142
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: and I'm probably leaning Yannis at this stage.

143
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: All right, So Tas has the joker, Lely's got the

144
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: freak tray are you making the case for Embiid here

145
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: or certainly not, certainly not.

146
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 5: I kind of feel like of our three main MVP candidates,

147
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 5: Embiid is the only one whose case took a hit

148
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 5: last night losing to the Raptors.

149
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: There.

150
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 5: We've seen the Sixers lose basically every big game they've

151
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 5: had to play down the stretch here, which seems to

152
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 5: me to be pushing embid down to third in the

153
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 5: MVP rankings. I kind of agree with tass and that

154
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 5: if you had Jokic going into last night, you're still

155
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 5: going with jokicch and me, this helps your case because

156
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 5: this isn't an historic season two thousand and one thousand,

157
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 5: five hundred. It's not a triple double. We haven't been

158
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 5: talking about when is somebody gonna finally get to the

159
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 5: two thousand and one thousand, five hundred mark. Like people

160
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 5: did talk about averaging triple double for the season. That

161
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 5: was a big deal. This is not that big of

162
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 5: a deal. But you know, it is a season long accomplishment,

163
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 5: no doubt for Jokic. And if you think he was

164
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 5: the MVP, you still think he's the MVP. If you

165
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 5: thought Giannis was the MVP going into last night. I

166
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 5: think you're probably still rolling with Giannis. He had twenty

167
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 5: nine to eleven and five, and the Bucks are up

168
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 5: to fifty wins, and some of those wins in the

169
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 5: last couple of weeks are the Nets, the Sixers, and

170
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 5: the Celtics. They have been winning the big games when

171
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 5: they need to, so I'm sticking with Giannis. I think

172
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 5: that Jokic has had an MVP season as well. I

173
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: think Mbid has had an MVP season as well, so

174
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 5: there's definitely going to be hurt feelings. Second place votes

175
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 5: might determine who actually wins the MVP, which is going

176
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 5: to be weird. And it's worth noting that if Jokic

177
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 5: does win MVP, he'll be the first player wearing a

178
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 5: head and to win MVP since I think Lebron who

179
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 5: probably still was wearing it back in the heat days.

180
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 5: I know it was only one game for yokicch but

181
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 5: if he decides to throw it on through the playoffs,

182
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 5: I'm gonna count it.

183
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to He was asked about

184
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: that and he he doesn't like how he looks in

185
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: the head band.

186
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's like, I'm too handsome. Otherwise, Yeah, I want

187
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 5: you to see my forehead.

188
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 1: I thought he actually was pulling it off. Okay, I

189
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: didn't think that looked good. All that crazy and then

190
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: he had quite the cut there from Jared Jackson Junior. Yeah,

191
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: I think uh. I think that's right, though, Trey. I

192
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: think you broke it down perfectly. If you if you

193
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: had Yokic over the last couple of weeks, then why

194
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: would your opinion changed? And if you had Giannis or

195
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: maybe even em Beat, I'm with you. He feels like

196
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: he slipped a little bit because of his team sort

197
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: of coming up short in some of these games. But

198
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: if you had Giannis going until last night or last

199
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: week or so like Lely, then that you're probably still

200
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: confident with that. I think Yokich is gonna win it, though,

201
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: task And I think you're gonna have nailed your your

202
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: preseason prediction. And I said, Embeid, I thought the narrative

203
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: was lining up for him and obviously coming and runner

204
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: up last year, and he's been amazing. I mean, any

205
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. It feels like in not any other season,

206
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: but a majority of other seasons, an Embeid season like

207
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: this would run away with it, or even a honest season.

208
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: If he doesn't win, this one would run away with it.

209
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: That's just how elite these guys have been. But I

210
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: think you're gonna be right here, tass. My gut says,

211
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: enough votes are gonna go his way.

212
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, he brought a little flairy, I say, with the headband,

213
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 6: just just trying to make himself stand out just enough,

214
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 6: just enough. And that that made me think of Tina

215
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 6: Turner song You're simply the Best, because I think Tina

216
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 6: Turner wore a headband once, oh really, and and that

217
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 6: but never never again, just once. And I think Joker

218
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 6: will never wear it again. Although yeah, I agree with

219
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 6: the Joker. We're seeing it on the stream team here.

220
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 6: I think he looks better without it, but.

221
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 5: It's not brutal.

222
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks like a guy with the headband on.

223
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 6: I don't think it's I don't think it accentuates anything.

224
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: I think.

225
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's a lebron thing. Wear it for

226
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 6: a bit, drop it. He's better than that.

227
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: I think it's like the guy who just decided to

228
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: pick up one day.

229
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: Here.

230
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna try the hit band looks, see how

231
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 3: I feel. I'll see how it makes me play maybe

232
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: not just doesn't look cool on him, but it's fine.

233
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.

234
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 3: I mean Klay Thompson was the same when he wore

235
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: that hit band. I think he got whacked in the

236
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: head of the night he hit the fourteen threes and

237
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 3: he was like, I'm never gonna wear it again. Now

238
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: he wears it all the time. So maybe Yoki could

239
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: come around.

240
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: And we'll see. I just if he if he does

241
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: win his back to back MVP here, I hope he

242
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: puts the headband on for the awards ceremony. That's at

243
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: the very least do that, Yo kich I'd be a

244
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: fun So let's hear from the stream team who you

245
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: vote for. You only got two nights, two or three

246
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: nights of basketball left. You got to make a decision here.

247
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: I don't know what could possibly really change at this point. Either.

248
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: It's not like the Bucks can grab you know, the

249
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: one seed from Miami, so you know that's off the table.

250
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: It's not like the Nuggets are now in the playoffs.

251
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: They're not gonna be really moving around though, so like

252
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: everything is sort of set. They're all gonna be within two, three,

253
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: four games of each other. That's not that big a deal.

254
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: It's like, I guess, Lee, I mean if some if

255
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: one of these three guys goes for a couple fifties

256
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: sixty burgers, I mean, sure, you can give me somebody.

257
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, you can't take Embid out of it.

258
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 3: Though he's not going to win it. It's down to.

259
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: That's funny you say that because I mean, I don't

260
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: know if they have votes. I'm sure they don't. But

261
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: like Shack Weird Crawford last night on the Broadecast, you

262
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: know they're making their first team all predictions, it was

263
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: all Embid.

264
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: Yeah for Sender.

265
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

266
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 3: But that's a different discussion, I think, because that's that's

267
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 3: that weird positional thing. I just don't see that embiid.

268
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 3: The way the sixth season is sort of coming to

269
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 3: a bit of a you know, they're limping towards the

270
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: playoffs a bid here again, that that does count into it.

271
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: The momentum, the way you're playing towards the end of

272
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: the season, I think it's the freshest in the voter's minds.

273
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: And that's why I think Yannis has really made up

274
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 3: ground over last month or so. I think he's had

275
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: some really dominant, impactful moments that stand out and you

276
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 3: just remind you like, oh, yeah, Yanni's actually, you know,

277
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: the defensive against the Sixes last week, as try to

278
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 3: mention that, you know, that's safe the win for them,

279
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: and then who they were playing, Brooklyn they hit the

280
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 3: big step back three the night later, you know, and

281
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 3: then the free throws as well, those sorts of things

282
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 3: against big quality opponent teams that you might face in

283
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 3: the playoffs. I definitely think those stand out and you're like,

284
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: yet you're reminded of those. Whereas Embiid he's been great,

285
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: but Philadelphia themselves really have been sort of struggling recently.

286
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,239
Speaker 1: That's where Yo Kitch is at a disadvantage in this conversation.

287
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: If we're being honest, he's not hit a lot of

288
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: these mark he like early T and T starts. Because

289
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: of where he is location wise and him playing on

290
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: the Nuggets, they just don't get as many of those

291
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: big games. I think that actually hurts them. Hell, I

292
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: don't even know if you can watch Nuggets games in

293
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: Denver with their weird yeah, the situation with their broadcast,

294
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: but anyway, yeah, so it's just like you're seeing the

295
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: honest and Embiid matchups more, I think, especially later in

296
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: the season where the schedule makers probably booked these good

297
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: teams there. But I still think he's he's gonna win

298
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: it in the end. You'll kitch well, all right, two

299
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: games last night, I'm putting them together because I've got

300
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: a question off of it, and that is we had

301
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: LaMelo Ball leading the Hornets past the Magic and then

302
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: we had Anthony Edwards scoring forty nine as the Wolves

303
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: they held off the Spurs one and the Q is.

304
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: Off of this, both these guys second year players. Who's

305
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: been the best sophomore in the NBA? Either one of

306
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: those two or somebody else? Who do you think hit

307
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: me with the power rankings?

308
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 5: Well, I'm gonna hit you with what about this guy?

309
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: First?

310
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 5: Because I think the only other guy worth a mention

311
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 5: besides Edwards and LaMelo is Desmond Bane. He's been incredible

312
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 5: this season and an instrumental part of the Grizzlies, but

313
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 5: he is still more of a role player than either

314
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 5: Anthony Edwards or LaMelo is going to be. I do

315
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 5: think this question is a lot closer than it was

316
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 5: last season. You know, Anthony Edwards had a really nice

317
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 5: second half of the year, but LaMelo had a great

318
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 5: full season and one Rookie of the Year pretty easily.

319
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 5: This year, I think Edwards has had a louder, more

320
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 5: noticeable season. You know, the Hornets are about the same

321
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 5: record wise as they were last year, while the Timberwolves

322
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 5: are a lot better. But I kind of feel like

323
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 5: most of the Timberwolves improvements come from their defense staying

324
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 5: good for the entire season, Town's making a mini leap,

325
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 5: and D'Angelo Russell looking really good and really organizing things

326
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 5: for the Timberwolves more so than specifically Edwards. But he's

327
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 5: been great too. As you saw last night, He's definitely

328
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 5: the better takeover score compared to LaMelo Ball. He's going

329
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 5: to be a number one guy at some point in

330
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 5: his career, and I'm actually really impressed this season that

331
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 5: he hasn't forced the issue to be the number one

332
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 5: guy this year because he will be at some point,

333
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 5: but you know, he's happy to take his turn when

334
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: it is his turn for the Timberwolves. With D'Angelo Russell

335
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 5: playing really solid this year, I think that Edwards is

336
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 5: the guy they would still want. That being said, I'm

337
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 5: still going LaMelo here. He's had a under the radar

338
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 5: season a little bit. Even though he made his first

339
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 5: All Star team. He's at twenty points per game per

340
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 5: thirty six the exact same as Anthony Edwards twenty two

341
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 5: per thirty six minutes. He's a much better playmaker, he's

342
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 5: much better on the glass. He outshoots Anthony Edwards from three,

343
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 5: shooting a really nice thirty eight percent on eight attempts.

344
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 5: And he's the unquestioned number one guy for Charlotte. And

345
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 5: they're better this year barely than they were last season,

346
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 5: and that's mostly without Gordon Hayward, who's probably their most

347
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 5: steady player. So that's a really, really close call. I

348
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 5: think both teams are happy with the guy that they got.

349
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 5: I would personally choose LaMelo if I'm going between those two.

350
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think, Tess, would you have it

351
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: LaMelo than Anthony Edwards or Flipped or anyone else in

352
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: the discussion case for Haliburton, I guess maybe alongside. Like

353
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: Trey said, Desmond Ban, what do you think?

354
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is fun to name all those other guys

355
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 6: because they have been extremely solid, but it comes out

356
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 6: to LaMelo versus Anthony Edwards, And yeah, I'm on the

357
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 6: other side of it than Trey. I think what you

358
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 6: saw last night with Anthony Edwards dropping forty nine shows

359
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 6: that his ceiling is higher than LaMelo's in terms of

360
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 6: being a scorer. And I think, yeah, the numbers favor

361
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 6: LaMelo in some ways, but Anthony Edwards has been banged

362
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 6: up all season and he's playing through a knee injury.

363
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 6: I should say all season the last couple months, just

364
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 6: prior to the All Star Game, but it's been a

365
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 6: long period here, and that's why after the game, Karl

366
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 6: Anthony Towns, his teammate, said this is just more than

367
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 6: a win man, This means something bigger because Anthony Edwards

368
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 6: looks like he's coming out of his knee funk when

369
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 6: he's able to drop forty nine like that, and that

370
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 6: just elevates what this Timberwolves team can do in the postseason.

371
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 6: Now that they're locked into that seventh seed, they'll be

372
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 6: hosting the play in game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

373
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 6: If Anthony Edwards can play anywhere close to his ceiling,

374
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 6: anywhere close to his capabilities, then I think the Timberwolves

375
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 6: ye have a good shot of making the actual playoffs.

376
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 6: And I think that just shows how much he hasn't

377
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 6: been close to that ceiling. The last couple months. He

378
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 6: really has been battling a knee injury. He had to

379
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 6: sit down for a while. He just hasn't looked spunky.

380
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 6: He hasn't looked like the guy who dunked on Utah

381
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 6: Watanabi last year.

382
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 2: He looked a lot more like that.

383
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: Last night he was also gunning for that fifteen flascinate

384
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: Oh boy, was he trying to get there almost sort

385
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: of keep away the game almost backfiring for the Wolves,

386
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: but they pulled it out again. Yeah.

387
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 3: Well, it's funny because you sort of want that to

388
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: blow up in his face as well at some point

389
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 3: and just go You can't just gun for it like that. Anyway,

390
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: It didn't. They survived, They won this game. But yeah,

391
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: I think the key here with Anthony Edwards was those

392
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: injuries in sort of February March, because his numbers and

393
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 3: you could just tell from his shooting splits, they really

394
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: dropped down and he was fighting through something. And then

395
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 3: last night he was looking as vibrant as ever. He

396
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: had nearly a two handed thrunk there last night. It's

397
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: very rare that you see that, but he got up

398
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 3: there and put it down and so if he comes

399
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 3: back and playing like that, the Wolves are just a

400
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: much better team. And he's been incredible. To Usch he

401
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: was probably close to Wall Star contention before the injury

402
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 3: this season, especially with the Wolves improving like they were,

403
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 3: he didn't quite make it. It was tough out there in

404
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 3: the West there for him. But I think he's been great.

405
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: I think he's been awesome. But I think LaMelo just

406
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 3: has been a little bit more consistent, and again the

407
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 3: injury plays a factor in that. But LaMelo has improved

408
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: his game from last season. I think his decision making

409
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: for the most part, has improved. He's hit some big shots,

410
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 3: he's not afraid of the moment. He's had some game

411
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 3: winning sort of plays from himself there, and he triggers

412
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 3: that offense as soon as he gets a ball. He's

413
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 3: incredibly fun to watch. But he is playing a little

414
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: bit more in control. I think last year he sort

415
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: of was a little bit out of control. But the

416
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: maturity and the growth there is really good for him.

417
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 3: So again you're splitting hairs. Really I'll go with LaMelo

418
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 3: just because of assistant that sort of the consistency that

419
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 3: he's had, whereas Anthony Edwards has probably had higher highs,

420
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 3: notably last night with the forty nine points, but LaMelo

421
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: has probably kept his team a little bit more stable

422
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 3: throughout the season, whereas Ant had to fight through some

423
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 3: injuries and it really cost him for a couple of

424
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: months of the season.

425
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: I think Trezrae with Lamello. I know he did make

426
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: an All Star team, but I feel like he has

427
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: not been talked about all that much this year for

428
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: a guy averaging twenty basically seven and eight, you know,

429
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: shooting forty three percent. You would like to see that

430
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: come up, of course, but thirty eight percent from three good.

431
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: Obviously he's pretty good at the line. His team is

432
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: a plus five hundred team, you know, just by a

433
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: couple of games. Is it just because they're in Charlotte

434
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: and no one seems to care? I don't know. It's

435
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: just like he's gone sort of under the radar for

436
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: a really, really good season, for a sophomore year. Guy

437
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: Edward's explosive, for sure. You saw it last night. He

438
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: caught a body last night, hit all those threes, looking great.

439
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: You know, if that's a that's a dangerous duo. If

440
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: he's healthy with Towns and they hope to get into

441
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: the actual playoffs, and they probably should, like Tass said there,

442
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: if they can beat the Clippers in that one game.

443
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, Lamello man, he's he's really impressed. Loved the

444
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: highlight last night too, going you know the alley Oopez.

445
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: He just goes through his legs off the glass to

446
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: to Mantrez Harrald. And we had a little dust up

447
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: in that one too. Three guys ejected. You have Robin

448
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: Lopez pointing. He always points at people, you know that

449
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: he's a big pointer. He does not like when guys

450
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: are like that. He feels are like, you know, hitting

451
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: his guys and stuff like that. But yeah, just some

452
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: late fireworks in that one. Great great seasons from both

453
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: of these guys overall. And I'm glad you brought up

454
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: Baine and I would throw Haliburton in there obviously now

455
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: being on Indiana, let's put up some numbers and we'll

456
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: see what he can do. But this, this that rookie

457
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: class last year that we were impressed with continue to

458
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: play and gotten even better in some case with these

459
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: elite guys. So that's a tough onenar. It's here from

460
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: the stream team, who do you have number one. I

461
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: guess the question is, yeah, like, who are you picking

462
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: of those two guys, LaMelo or Anthony Edwards to build

463
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: a franchise around.

464
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: If you're what I from Sacramento to Indiana in the

465
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 3: one season, I mean, that's tough.

466
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 2: It's tough.

467
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: That's tough. But he's I mean he's had some monster games.

468
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, and he's good. Yeah, he's of

469
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: course really good.

470
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

471
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 6: I think what happened to LaMelo was coming off the

472
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 6: rookie season. There's just so many other narratives in the league.

473
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 6: And maybe it's the Charlotte factor, but his peak, I

474
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 6: guess Google search moment was when he was named to

475
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 6: the All Star Game, and then right then when he's

476
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 6: catching his wave, the hornets fell off and he fell

477
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 6: off and he wasn't right going into the All Star breaks.

478
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 6: So they really haven't been a story since then. And yeah,

479
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 6: they've you know, kind of Yeah, they treaded water around

480
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 6: the five hundred mark, but yeah, when when that was

481
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 6: building and it was coming up, it crashed pretty quickly.

482
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 6: So yeah, he has not been talked about enough. But

483
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 6: there's just too many damn storylines I think for national

484
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 6: media to talk about.

485
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and also you're going to get a lot

486
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: more headlines when you go for the forty nine point

487
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: game and you know Edwards has another one of those

488
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: forties in them this year. Those are huge. Like what's like,

489
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,959
Speaker 1: what's Lamello's high this year? I mean it's probably it's

490
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: probably high thirties on guessing, But has.

491
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 5: He had at thirty four or something like that?

492
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, so I don't think he's had a forty

493
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: point game.

494
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 5: No, yeah, it's thirty eight.

495
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah. Still still an incredible, incredible season,

496
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: and we'll see what they can do here in the

497
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: play in because we know they're in there. Next one here,

498
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: you can't call me a homework because I buried it

499
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: in the show. Lee. But Pascal Siakam another triple double

500
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: All NBA Baby Raptors beat the seventy six is one

501
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 1: eighteen one fourteen, And my queue off this one, Lee

502
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: because right now, as of today, if the playoff started,

503
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: it's Philly versus Toronto in the four or five matchup.

504
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: So what you saw last night and what you've seen

505
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: this season and where Raptors are playing right now, is

506
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: Philly in trouble? You think in a potential four or

507
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: five matchup, if they see the Raptors pass is.

508
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 3: Ninety by AE hundred percent, this is the matchup the

509
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 3: Raptors won for sure. Not only did they feel confident

510
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,479
Speaker 3: going up against Philadelphia, as you saw last night, they

511
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 3: overcame that meaningless first quarter, a deficit of fifteen points there.

512
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, seventeen seventy two, I think was

513
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 3: But there are so many reasons I think why the

514
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 3: Raptors want this matchup. For one, they know that James

515
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 3: Harden has a questionable playoff history. Last night, you saw

516
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 3: it in the second half, James Harden had a I

517
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: don't really feel like it's sort of a game here.

518
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 3: Last night, he just wasn't there. Joel Embiid was fantastic,

519
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 3: He was trying everything to do to get the win.

520
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: Here for Philadelphia, it was Danny Green hitting a few

521
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 3: home run threes that really kept in going. Maxi was

522
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 3: good as well, but other than James Harden was invisible.

523
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: So I think that's one of the reasons. I think

524
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 3: Pascal Siakam feels he loves that matchup now. I remember

525
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: a few years ago when Joel Embiid went on him

526
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 3: Siakam was sort of like, what can I do?

527
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: This guy's too big.

528
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 3: Now He's like, I'm just going inside for everybody. I'm

529
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 3: stepping out if I need to. He's passing the ball,

530
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 3: he's facilitating, he's creating, he's doing everything. I think that's fantastic.

531
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 3: I think Doc Rivers, we know, not a great playoff

532
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: record either when it comes to playoff series last year

533
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 3: against Atlanta Hawks. You know, Ben Simmons took a lot

534
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 3: of the blame, but Doc rivers management as well of

535
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 3: that series was pretty bad. And then on top of that,

536
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: if this series does happen, Matis Diible will not be

537
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 3: able to play the games in Toronto, potentially three games

538
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 3: he missed last night because apparently he's unvaccinated, so he

539
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 3: will not be able to cross the border. And while

540
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: Joel Embiid is their best defender, Matisse Diible is certainly

541
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 3: the most versatile and the guy who can cause trouble

542
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 3: on guys. I think, like Siakam, he can go on

543
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 3: to Gary Trent, who had thirty points there last night.

544
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 3: And the Raptors also won this game without Fred van

545
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 3: Vliet and without og Ananobi as well, so you know

546
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 3: this was one of those games like, all right, you

547
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 3: started Kem Birch and Precious. I think it was there

548
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 3: in the middle there for the Raptor is not a

549
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 3: great experiment. Precious was actually fans.

550
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: Ruscius was amazing.

551
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 5: Precious. Yeah.

552
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's throwing up the threes as well, and he

553
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: knocks in the three on the run there. So I

554
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 3: think if you're the Raptors right now, you look at

555
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia seventy six is as the most vulnerable team

556
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: in the standings for multiple reasons. I think they can

557
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 3: beat them even if everybody's healthy and everybody was playing anyway.

558
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: But then there are so many other things there that

559
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 3: that Sixers team could implode itself as well. If they

560
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 3: lose one of those first two games in Philadelphia, which

561
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 3: I think they absolutely will, You're going then to Toronto

562
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 3: without one of your best defenders. That's just going to

563
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 3: make it hard. Again, considering we know James Harden hasn't

564
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 3: really shown too much there since he's arrived in Philadelphia.

565
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: The first couple of games, they were winnable games, he

566
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 3: looked good. Since then, it's like James Harden's just like

567
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 3: I'm just shooting threes from now and he doesn't seem

568
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 3: to be attacking, he doesn't seem to be aggressive, and

569
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 3: defensively is not there as well. So I think there's

570
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 3: a lot of questions on Philadelphia how far they can go,

571
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 3: and Toronto would devour them in a matchup. I'm picking

572
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 3: the Rappers to win that series now, even if it

573
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 3: doesn't happen.

574
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 5: Wow, holy well.

575
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: We saw Tasks nodding away when I first asked the question.

576
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: You are the Raps fan here, I'm guessing you agree

577
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: that Philly doesn't want to really play Toronto, and it's

578
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: looking like it's going to be the case in a

579
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: four or five. We don't even know who will have

580
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: home court advantage in that yet.

581
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Raps win definitely increases the chances of bringing

582
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 6: the Sixers down in the four spot, keeping them away

583
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 6: from the top three, and the Wraps in the five spot. Now,

584
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say devour because Joel Embiid will devour whoever.

585
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: He plays against.

586
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 6: But the problem is when he goes to the bench,

587
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 6: they won the minutes that he was out there because

588
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 6: the Raps do not have a good matchup.

589
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 2: Hiss, greate at precious that you was.

590
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 6: Mbid won those minutes, he won him by eight points,

591
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,239
Speaker 6: but when he sat, they lost by thirteen points. And

592
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 6: that has to be James Harden time. And I know

593
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 6: it's just we look at James Harden's and say, you know,

594
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 6: just doesn't have tonight, just doesn't feel like it. But

595
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 6: I think the reps may not have a good matchup

596
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 6: for MB but they've got an incredible matchups for James Harden.

597
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 6: They've got several guys that can slow him down, and

598
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 6: they just made him look a little bit old, made

599
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 6: him look like he was speeding things up a little

600
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 6: bit because they've got six eight, six nine guys. They

601
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 6: didn't even have og Annobi out there on Harden. So

602
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 6: that's the problem for Doc Rivers. Yeah, Mattis Steible may

603
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 6: not be able to play in Toronto to try and

604
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 6: help out on Pascal Siakam, so you've got to throw

605
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 6: Joel Embiad on him as they did last night. And

606
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,719
Speaker 6: Pascal Siakam has shown that he's grown a ton from

607
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 6: the twenty nineteen playoffs when Embiid was able to take

608
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 6: Siakam out. This time, Siakam was able to fake him

609
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 6: beat out of his shoes several times, and then on

610
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 6: the other side, everybody can play for the Raptors and

611
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 6: they can throw yeah, Og Pascal, a number of guys

612
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 6: at James Harden and make him look sped up. So

613
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 6: I think matchups, even though Embiid will be out there

614
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 6: and they'll probably win those minutes, the problem is when

615
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 6: he goes to the bench, is hardly going to be

616
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 6: able to take over. It's if you flash back to

617
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 6: twenty nineteen. Embiid also in that second round series against

618
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 6: the Raptors, even though he didn't score a lot, they

619
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 6: won those minutes a ton because he was on the floor.

620
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 6: But then when he went to the bench, it was

621
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 6: Greg Monroe and boban Marjanovich and guys that couldn't beat

622
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 6: the Reps. And now it's Paul Reid and DeAndre Jordan

623
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 6: and he's got to be out there for like.

624
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 2: Forty five minutes a game. And that's the question mark.

625
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 6: In a game yesterday, the Philadelphia seventy six ers shot

626
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,239
Speaker 6: the freck and lights out from three point land. They

627
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 6: shot nineteen of thirty six and they still weren't able

628
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 6: to win this game. And Danny Green season high six threes. Yeah,

629
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 6: he loves playing in Toronto. He gets his ring. Finally,

630
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 6: stay tuned for tween to tonight. We'll have some fun there.

631
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 6: But yeah, nearly three years after winning the championship, he

632
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 6: goes and wins another title, and then he finally gets

633
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 6: his ring from the twenty nineteen championship. Really wild, but yeah,

634
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 6: he shows up in Toronto and has an incredible game.

635
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 6: A lot of things went right, is what I'm saying.

636
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 6: For the Raps, and still for the Sixers, I should say,

637
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 6: and still they weren't able to win this game. I

638
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 6: think the three or four that the Reps won this

639
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 6: season are indicative of how this series would go. And

640
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 6: the Metis Stible thing is real. He could get his

641
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 6: vaccine now and play in Toronto, if if, if that's

642
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 6: what's going on, sure feels that way. Derek Bondner broke

643
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 6: it down on on on his site why Matist Stible

644
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 6: is very very likely the guy who is unvaccinated on

645
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 6: this team. But uh, that's a problem. It truly is

646
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,479
Speaker 6: a problem because embiad has to play freaking everybody, and

647
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 6: he's got to play so many minutes and this is

648
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 6: James Harden time, and I just I just wonder about

649
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 6: this James Harden thing because it's not it's it's sometimes

650
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 6: we just say he's not trying, but he also could

651
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 6: just be getting.

652
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: Over then for weeks on end. If that's the case.

653
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I think it's just it's just he's

654
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 6: not he's not what he wants a couple of years ago,

655
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 6: and Darryl Mory probably makes that trade a hundred times

656
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 6: out of one hundred. But it isn't prove, it isn't

657
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 6: proving to be the same guy that he had in Houston.

658
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 6: It just it just isn't. So that's the worrisome part

659
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 6: for the Sixers. He has to pick it up when

660
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 6: it beat Ghos to the bench, and I'm not sure

661
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 6: that's gonna happen.

662
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: Interesting with Bible Tray Doc Rivers after the game was like,

663
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, you know, he wasn't the reason why

664
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: we lost this game. He's talking about Matise. You know,

665
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: we would have lost this game with Matis. But then

666
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: we have like saying we would have lost this one

667
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: full strength. Yeah, and then but Maxy rightfully so to say,

668
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: of course we miss him. You know what he does

669
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: for us hard in agreeing with Bibel, Yeah, he's one

670
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: of our best defenders. Like what is doc trying to

671
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: do here. I don't get, but uh, what do you

672
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: think to that? To the initial question if this is

673
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: a four or five matchup, Tray, is this one Philly

674
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: and Sixers fans really want no part of because of

675
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: what we've seen in these games.

676
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, if we're getting the James Harden that

677
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 5: we've seen for the last month, then no doubt Philadelphia

678
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 5: is gonna be in trouble. He had fifteen assists, he

679
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 5: had a really nice passing game, but he's got a

680
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 5: score like three of twelve is not going to cut it.

681
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 5: And it's just a bad matchup for him playing against

682
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 5: everybody that's got long arms and is athletic and can

683
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 5: make things tough at the rims. So it's hard with

684
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 5: the switching scheme to get to the rim in the

685
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 5: first place against the Raptors, and then you got to

686
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 5: try and finish over these guys who are a little

687
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 5: bit bigger, a little bit quicker. That's a tough ask

688
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 5: not to mention. Defensively, and Beat is awesome. He can guard,

689
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 5: you know, he can guard a perimeter guy like Siakam

690
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 5: a little bit if he needs to. But with fible

691
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 5: out he's the only guy that really plays defense, and

692
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 5: this is just a slow, shallow team, it seems to

693
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 5: me when you're looking at Philadelphia, because it's like Tobias

694
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 5: Harris was taking a turn on Siakam, Danny Green, George Niang,

695
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 5: and it wasn't even a contest really for Siakam, especially

696
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 5: once he was able to get out in in transition.

697
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 5: Once he got on a rhythm, then it wasn't even

698
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 5: a problem. Like attacking Embiid. He was getting his shoulder

699
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 5: into Embiid, knocking him off the spot and finishing over

700
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 5: the top of him. Siakam was on quite a role

701
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 5: last night. So yeah, I mean, Embid is going to

702
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 5: be a massive problem for the Raptors. He's going to

703
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 5: eat Ken Burch alive, no doubt about it. They're going

704
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 5: to do everything they possibly can scheme wise to make

705
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 5: it tough on Embiid and make him make quick decisions.

706
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 5: He's improved his passing, he's improved his decision making, but

707
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,239
Speaker 5: he's going to have to go like forty five to

708
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 5: forty eight minutes a night while guarding the best perimeter

709
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 5: player on the Raptors and then having to score, you know,

710
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 5: every single basket largely inside getting two pointers over a

711
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 5: whole bunch of defenders. So it's just a huge ask

712
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 5: for Joel Embiid, Like I mean, like Tasa saying, the

713
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 5: seventy six ers are going to probably win the minutes

714
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 5: that Joel Embiid plays. Yeah, but yeah, if he can't

715
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 5: play every single minute, then you're in trouble.

716
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. And look, if Siakam is playing at this level,

717
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: which he's now done for two months, and he has

718
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: to be on an All NBA team, I mean, come on, like,

719
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: this is not a three game stretch. This is now months.

720
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: He's played like this as as one of the better

721
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: players in the league, as a top fifteen, or as

722
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: at least the top of his position, as one of

723
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: the best forwards. So he hopefully gets in there and

724
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't have to flip the table when we get

725
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: back to the Classic Factory. But it's just he's elite

726
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: right now. And I love too, Tass, and I know

727
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: you do as well. Just Gary Trent Junior, Gucci, Gary,

728
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: the Gary hours just having a three point shooter, I mean, really,

729
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, I mean honest, Like taking us back to

730
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: the Danny Green days, he was hot at times and

731
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: he was cold at times. Gary can do that as well,

732
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: but the threat of a floor spacer is massive. Not

733
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: to mention OG's becoming a great, pretty consistent three point shooters,

734
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: so when he's back out there and man Vliet, we

735
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: know can knock him down two more off the dribble.

736
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: But Raptors would be picked by a lot of people

737
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: I think in this series, Like you're saying Lee to

738
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: devour them. I'm not so sure, but I could see

739
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: a lot of Raptors in six picks from a pundits out.

740
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 3: The real question is ske if the Raptors have home court,

741
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 3: if they get it, I mean, you've flown home in

742
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 3: the paths of the first game.

743
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it hasn't gone well. I was gonna say, I

744
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 1: don't want the Raptors to have home court advantage.

745
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 5: I don't.

746
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: I want them to be the fifth seed on the road.

747
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: Go steal one in Philly for a change, don't give

748
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: one away at home in Toronto. I'm totally fine with that.

749
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: And then yeah, this this Matitzeible thing is fascinating here.

750
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: If he can't go up and play in this series

751
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: unless he gets unless he apparently gets like vaccinated, like now,

752
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: because we are so close to the playoffs starting, then

753
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: there's the possibility, but man, cutting close.

754
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 6: If that's the case, Yeah, just quickly. You know how

755
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 6: people say about Lebron or guys that are aging, enjoy

756
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 6: Lebron while we had him, enjoy it, while we enjoy

757
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 6: a good Gary while we have him a guy named Gary,

758
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 6: while we have him. Because Trey shared this in slack,

759
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 6: Yeah recently, what was it, Trey that only ten babies

760
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 6: in the United States last year were named Gary?

761
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 2: Is that the right? I think I think it was

762
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 2: the UK.

763
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 5: I don't know if that at the United States, if

764
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 5: we're still heavy on the Garys, but you know, globally

765
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 5: it's not going wow wow.

766
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: Went more Garys.

767
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 6: And I don't know why I'd expect more UK Garys,

768
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 6: but I guess it's more of an American name. I

769
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 6: don't know, enjoy a good Gary.

770
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: Gary, Trent have a couple playoff games where he hits

771
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: five six threes and it's flirt with thirty points. There're

772
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: gonna be a whole lot of Garys in Canada. Tasks. Yeah,

773
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: maybe you know in the coming year, that's what's gonna happen.

774
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 6: Hold on all that one war thinge war thing one

775
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 6: war than Why because because because the way past to

776
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 6: this point. I love this Pascal tweet from TMN oh four.

777
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 6: Pascal leads the league in ethical thirty balls, no spamming,

778
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 6: pull up threes, no foul drifting, just banged down, low,

779
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 6: elite footwork, scoring over mismatches, mid range game, silky touch inside,

780
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 6: navigating that tight wind. It's different.

781
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: Ethical, baby, Yeah, that's what we want. I love it.

782
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: The Raptors fans are running with this. I love this.

783
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: It's pretty funny that he's one of the best ethical

784
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: thirty point scorers in the league for sure. Amazing other

785
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: games just quickly here Bucks beat the depleted Celtics, not

786
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: Tatum in this one. Boston gave it a goal where

787
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: they maybe punting Lee on the on that on that

788
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: second seed. So you know, in avoiding a potential two

789
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: to seven matchup against the Nets if they were to

790
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: come out of there.

791
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 3: Well, I mean you could think that going into the

792
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 3: game with no Harford and tATu. But they tried to

793
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 3: win it at the end. I mean they would. They

794
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 3: certainly didn't just sit everybody down at the end of

795
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 3: the game and say, right, we're gonna lie down. They

796
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 3: tried Marcus Smart was really good in this one, but

797
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 3: the Bucks pulled it off. So a bit of a

798
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 3: weird one bit of a tug of war there between

799
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 3: the front office and the players, I think, because they're like,

800
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 3: we're going to compete if we're out on the court,

801
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 3: and they did that. So I'm not sure exactly what

802
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 3: their thought process was here.

803
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: Yep. So the Bucks are up to second there in

804
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 1: the East. We also had Klay Thompson scoring thirty three

805
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: as the Warriors beat the Lakers, though Taylin Horton Tucker

806
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: baby for I can't trade them now. So the Warriors

807
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 1: pick up their third win in a row. That's big,

808
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: and then Pelicans beat the Blazers. Now, I just want

809
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: to give this might be a little information overload overload

810
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: here as we move into the final weekend of the

811
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: NBA season, But the Bucks are now a half game

812
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: ahead of the Celtics, okay, and a full game ahead

813
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: of the seventy six ers. Milwaukee visits the Pistons tonight

814
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: they win. They're the number two seat the Heat. They've

815
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 1: locked up number one. Milwaukee also has the Calves on Sunday.

816
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: That's their second game there, final game of the regular season,

817
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: Boston one game left, it's this Sunday in Memphis. But again,

818
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: if Milwaukee takes care of Detroit tonight, then there too.

819
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: So it's looking like Miami won Milwaukee two, Boston three.

820
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: Sixers probably are still going.

821
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 5: To be four.

822
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: They'd have to lose both of their games and the

823
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: Raps would have to win both of their games for

824
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: Toronto to jump down. So six Ers four, Raps five,

825
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: and then Trey's Bulls in sixth. That's what it looks.

826
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: That's what it's like. I feel really confident. That's what

827
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: it's going to be. Ninety nine percent sure. One through six.

828
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 1: Then Pelicans increased their lead over the tenth place Spurs

829
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: by two games. Now, the Pelicans got to stay at

830
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: least one game ahead of the Spurs to ensure they

831
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: host the Wednesday play in tournament game between the two sides.

832
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 1: The Pel's final two games are in Memphis on Saturday

833
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: and at home to the Warriors on Sunday. And the

834
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: Warriors is interesting because they're one game up on the

835
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: MAVs for the third seed. Golden State has back to

836
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: back games this weekend in San Antonio and New Orleans,

837
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: and Dallas hosts Portland tonight and the Spurs on Sunday,

838
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: and Dallas holds the tiebreaker over Golden State, so the

839
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: Warriors got to be clear of them to keep the

840
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: third seed. And Tassi already slipped this in here. We

841
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: do know the Wolves. We'll be hosting the Clippers on Tuesday,

842
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: April twelfth in that seven to eight playing game. So

843
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: the Wolves win, that they're the seventh seed, Clips win,

844
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: they're the seventh seed, and then the loser takes on

845
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: the winner of the nine ten between the Pelicans and

846
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: the Spurs. That all makes sense already. We're good to

847
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: go with that.

848
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 3: I'm going back to the East because it looks like

849
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 3: the Hawks might get that home playing game after all.

850
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: I told you I said it on yesterday's show.

851
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, trying to get tickets on ticket Master that they

852
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 3: there's something about my location my IP right now, they

853
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 3: won't let me get tickets. So oh yeah, they've got

854
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 3: to play the Heat to night. If they win tonight,

855
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 3: it's a lock that they will get at least one

856
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 3: playing game down at the Fortress. So I'll be sr

857
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 3: Row and wherever it is. I just hope that hangs

858
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 3: on because it still could fall to just one game

859
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 3: against Charlotte and if they lose that, obviously they're out.

860
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 3: So fingers crossed. I think we going to the Fortress

861
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 3: one more time?

862
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: Okay, that for the nine ten matchup? Yeah, you're thinking

863
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: they're going to be hosting that. We will see. We

864
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: will see when you get back. When can you buy those?

865
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 3: Sorry until late Sunday night. I hope they haven't sold out.

866
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: Oh you want me to, I'll look them up for us,

867
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: don't you worry. Okay, any notes guys on any of

868
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: those games or racist tasks or the breakdown, I just

869
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: threw it you there, or anything else I.

870
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 6: Missed, No, sir, I think we're good with the bracket

871
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 6: currently right now. I wouldn't mind hearing Lee built out. Okay,

872
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 6: there's not a lot of them.

873
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: I guess I was trying to think. I didn't.

874
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 3: I think I know any Gary's at all?

875
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, Gary's well task, Yeah, but I mean, like a.

876
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: Legit, Garrett, you don't know a single Geary.

877
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 3: I mean there's a few famous Australian rules football players.

878
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 2: Gary.

879
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 3: Actually that's just the same because it's one father and son,

880
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 3: so I don't have that.

881
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 5: There were there were eleven Dales born in the UK

882
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty and only ten Garys. Thats what helps

883
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 5: that to me? I would have got I would have

884
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 5: guess two times as many Gary's as.

885
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 4: Dale's in twenty twenty there were two hundred and maybe

886
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 4: six garys born in the US.

887
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: Oh, it's not really a lot either, right.

888
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 4: No, So it's this website says that if if a

889
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 4: boy that year named Gary met ten thousand people in

890
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 4: his lifetime, he'd have a fifty four percent chance of

891
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 4: meeting one other Gary.

892
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 2: Wow, between, I don't know what I mean.

893
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: It's a great name. It's a funny it's a funny name,

894
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: but it's a great name.

895
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 5: Gary boy, Gary met ten thousand people, Gary, Gary Payton.

896
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 6: The originals got two Gary Sons.

897
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: To keep it alive. Way, do you think maybe we

898
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: need like a remake like when Gary met Sally or something.

899
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 3: Like that, bring it back in vogue?

900
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:02,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, let's write that. Yeah yeah, Gary back. Okay,

901
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: let's take our first break. We come back. We'll hit

00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: the beach, don't go anywhere, all right, back with no

903
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: dounks stream team coming through with some other potential movie

904
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: remakes we could do to bring Gary back into popularity.

905
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: We could have like Arbo says Gary Potter and the

906
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: chamber of Gary's dream shake something about Gary.

907
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can do that.

908
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: And was this a movie, Nick, Gary the telephone guy?

909
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 2: Well, what's a cable guy?

Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm so confused by that one.

00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,439
Speaker 1: We're getting Gary back back up to being a popular name. Okay,

917
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: Let's hit the beach, Andrew, Yeah, hitting the beach, sending

921
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: I was watching a friend of the podcast, Kenny Beacham's

922
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: channel recently shout out to Kenny King in the fourth quarter,

923
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: and he blew my mind by saying that the infamous

924
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: Wade Lebron picture against the Bucks, everybody knows the what

925
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking about here with LBJ mid dunk and Wade's

926
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: arms open in celebration was not an allyup. It was

927
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: a simple bounce pass. Kenny mentioned the Mandela effect and

928
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: how he also had cemented in his brain that this

929
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: was an oop jam crazy stuff. My question simple, Can

930
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: you think of some other Mendella affect moments in NBA history?

931
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: Love Clipper Bros. That's from Aaron in Wales, but today

932
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 1: that's really from Gary in Wales than to Gar. Yes, so, Tess,

933
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we've talked about this before. I

934
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: know it's come up a long time ago. That did

935
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: the classic LBJ Wade pick. It's not an oop you

936
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: think it's a noop, but it's it's not any other

937
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: Mandela effects.

938
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, the alleyot is a good one because I don't

939
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 6: remember that play at all. I just remember the photo

940
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 6: and the ideal outcome before Wade, you know, throws his

941
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 6: arms out would be an alley you. So I guess

942
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 6: that's why I think about it in the most positive

943
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 6: led You'd think it would be an alliut because that

944
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 6: would make for the best photo afterwards. But yeah, that

945
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 6: one a good one, very very good one. I found

946
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 6: this question hard because if you know the outcome. Then

947
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 6: it's already gone. But I guess one thing to me

948
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 6: that I remember, I think you're in the same boat.

949
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 6: Skeets Raptors Philly their playoff series, not from twenty nineteen,

950
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 6: from way back when fandom was just beginning. In two

951
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,280
Speaker 6: thousand and one. In the second round series, Game seven

952
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,439
Speaker 6: of that series, it was a Sunday. Vince Carter flew

953
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 6: to North Carolina to get his hat to graduate, and

954
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 6: he flew back to Philly that same day. I always

955
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 6: thought that that game was a one eastern start, like

956
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 6: a super early Sunday start, So the Mandel effect for

957
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 6: me was that it started at five thirty Eastern. I

958
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 6: just I didn't didn't realize that. I guess maybe because

959
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 6: I was mad and every other Raptor fan was mad

960
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 6: that Vince Carter would, how dare he'd put his education

961
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 6: before his basketball career, So I thought maybe he'd you know,

962
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 6: he had to get there in the morning and fly

963
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 6: back and be there for a one pm start. But

964
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 6: I was up in yeah, Cottage Country, and I know

965
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 6: you were too. Skis trying to find a bar in

966
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 6: Ontario that was showing this damn thing, and it was

967
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 6: it was a difficult find, and I guess, I don't know.

968
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 6: I guess maybe uh time passed by quickly or something,

969
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 6: but I thought it was a real early start, and yeah,

970
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 6: or maybe maybe it's because I just went to bed

971
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 6: and I forgot the rest of the day. I was

972
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 6: so sad the rest of the day didn't exist or something.

973
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 2: I don't know.

974
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 6: I don't know why, but that's that's what I always think.

975
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 6: It was a one start rather than a five thirty's

976
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 6: that's a.

977
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: Really good one, because I'm with you. If you had

978
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: asked me what time did that game seven start? Back

979
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: for that series, I was in Grand Ben. I know

980
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: exactly where I was, like a picture of the bar

981
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: we were in, and it feels to me like it was, yeah,

982
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: one o'clock start, like it felt. Maybe we were at

983
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: the bar at one o'clock and just drank for hours

984
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: before the game actually started. That's a possibility, but that's

985
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: a good one. What about you, Lee, any other Mandela

986
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: effect moment to day history come to mind.

987
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 3: This was a very tough question to come up with,

988
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 3: But I've sort of got two ones, very weird. I'll

989
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 3: go to the sort of ones and not as weird.

990
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 3: At the start here, and it's you know, the Ray

991
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 3: Allen game. Six to three pointer doesn't end the game,

992
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 3: the heat. The Spurs still have a possession after that,

993
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 3: and remember Chris Bosh blocks Danny Green, so like it

994
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 3: could have been one of those like wow, what a shot,

995
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 3: but they don't actually end up winning the game. They did,

996
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 3: They're going to win the championship, so it's kind of that.

997
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 3: You sort of feel like it was like as the

998
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 3: buzz is going off, where Ay Allen hits a shot,

999
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 3: but it wasn't like that. In fact, remember the heat.

1000
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 3: Excuse me, the Spurs tried to win bound the ball

1001
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 3: and get going and they stopped the game to review

1002
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 3: to make sure it was a three pointer. And Greg

1003
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 3: Popovich was so angry over that because it was like

1004
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 3: they'd rather get down and give themselves a chance to score.

1005
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: They didn't. The other one. The other one.

1006
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 3: This is super, super weird, but it was in the

1007
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 3: Steph Curry four hundred and three seasons and we were

1008
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 3: compiling our top ten threes and I was putting them

1009
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 3: all together, and there's one against the San Antonio Spurs

1010
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 3: where he runs Kawhi Leonard around and loses him and

1011
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 3: dodgers and weaves and he steps back and hits this

1012
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 3: most glorious three from the corner. And when I was

1013
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 3: putting it together, I was like, I was like, ok,

1014
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 3: I went to the game and I filtered it so

1015
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,319
Speaker 3: it showed all steps three from the game, and I'm like,

1016
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 3: that's funny, it's not there. And so I looked at

1017
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 3: another time they played him. I was like, it's not

1018
00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 3: there as well, and I'm like, that's weird. That was

1019
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,359
Speaker 3: one of the most like, you know, like he one

1020
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 3: of the best defenders in the world. He just lost

1021
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 3: him then stepped back and into three. He'd been humiliating

1022
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 3: defenders all season long. But it was because it was

1023
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:31,800
Speaker 3: a two. It was a long too. Yeah, So it's like, ah,

1024
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 3: that was a beautiful three, but it wasn't actually a three.

1025
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: It was a two. That's very specific. Yeah, yeah, but

1026
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: he Okay. The Mendel fact is more that there's a

1027
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: big collective group of people thinking the same thing. Yeah, incorrectly,

1028
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: but whatever, and it's fine. Do you have any tray?

1029
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 4: Ah?

1030
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1031
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 5: I actually like this comment from Chigs here in the

1032
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 5: stream team the banana boat mellow isn't in the comic pick. Yeah,

1033
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 5: apparently he's taken the picture, which is a hilarious twist

1034
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,720
Speaker 5: to the story. That's a good one. I've got another picture,

1035
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 5: flavored one as well. We've all seen this incredible picture

1036
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 5: of Ironnewble kicking Mike Dunleavy Junior right in the face,

1037
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 5: one of the all time great NBA photos. But if

1038
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 5: you watch this play, dun Levy like barely gets hit

1039
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 5: in the face at all, to the point where like

1040
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 5: he doesn't even touch his face after this, he just

1041
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 5: like carries on. Ironneuble's driving down the lane and he

1042
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 5: gets hit and its leg just goes up all crazy.

1043
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 5: It's like a glancing blow. And Noble goes to the

1044
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 5: free throw line and don't leeve He's just like looking

1045
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 5: around like nothing happened. But this looks like a straight

1046
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 5: up karate kick to the face that would result in

1047
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 5: the concussion or maybe a broken jaw. But it was

1048
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 5: just the play, just the play that nobody cared about

1049
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 5: turn into an incredible picture and the only reason we

1050
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 5: really talk about Ironnewble to this day.

1051
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: Yes, Ryan Ryan saying tuning up the band, uh oh sewn,

1052
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: Michael's super it wasn't a good one. I had the

1053
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: Carmelo not being on the banana bo pick. That's a

1054
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: great one because you just he's a part of the

1055
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: banana boat crew, but he's not on that infamous pick

1056
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 1: because it's it's a Gabrielle union right at the front,

1057
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: and then it's I think it goes way Chris Paul Lebron. Yeah,

1058
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: in your mind, you think Mellow is on the banana

1059
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: We well.

1060
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 3: Have we seen any video footage of that, because because yesterday,

1061
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 3: yesterday the reason I have yesterday there was a banana

1062
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:31,919
Speaker 3: boat going around the beach. We were at right. There's

1063
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 3: kids on it, you know, ten year old kids, and

1064
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 3: it's zipping around. They're flinging them all over the place.

1065
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 3: I just wonder how the banana boat went with like

1066
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 3: three fully grown men plus a woman on there, you know,

1067
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 3: big strong, heavy athletes like I don't know how movable

1068
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 3: it would have been there on the open would have

1069
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 3: been tough, I think to get any real uh you know,

1070
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 3: real real wide movements on the boat on the on

1071
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 3: the just they're just too heavy, I think.

1072
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 1: But I don't know if we've ever seen video.

1073
00:50:59,040 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

1074
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,640
Speaker 1: Thought they're wow, maybe not? Yeah, Okay, Uh, here's here's

1075
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: a weird one. Maybe maybe I'm alone on this, maybe

1076
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 1: other people think this way too, which would mean it's

1077
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: a Mendela effect. The Lakers. I always think the Lakers

1078
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: when they three peated that they won it in one, two, three,

1079
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: and then lost to the Pistons in O four, right,

1080
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, and they beat them and they sort of

1081
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 1: shocked the world. I always think that. Now, of course

1082
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: that's not the case. They won in oh oh the

1083
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and then one two, and then we had

1084
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: the uh Spurs nets O three series there, which is

1085
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: like people have called the forgotten series at times, and

1086
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: to me it is it's just like I think the

1087
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: three peat and then I think they lost. I think

1088
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 1: they had that chance to win a fourth, but.

1089
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 3: That's not what happened. Ye.

1090
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's just a weird one to me.

1091
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 6: Uh.

1092
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 1: And then the other one I've seen going around when

1093
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: I was doing a little research for this, it's NBA adjacent.

1094
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: It's a classic Mendela effect. Have you ever heard lee

1095
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: of this thing where everybody's convince if they were like

1096
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,880
Speaker 1: in the nineties, like a kid in the nineties, that

1097
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: there was a movie called Shazam that featured Sindbad. Have

1098
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: you heard this?

1099
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 3: Uh no, no, I would have thought Shazam just for

1100
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 3: the Shack movie. But that's Kazak well, and.

1101
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: That is what people think is happening here. So they're like,

1102
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 1: I swear to god, people are convinced in this day

1103
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,280
Speaker 1: that they saw a movie called Shazam where Sindad played

1104
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,439
Speaker 1: a genie in it, and it's like this whole thing

1105
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: and it's not it's never happened. It wasn't a thing,

1106
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: but people think, yeah, the Kazam part of it, with

1107
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 1: Shaq being a genie and then Sindbad being in a

1108
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: lot of nineties kids movies and he did this other thing.

1109
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 1: It's like this weird thing that people have just created

1110
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: this in their head. It's pretty funny, but it's not

1111
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: a movie. Amazing.

1112
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 3: I can see that becoming a thing though. Now people

1113
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 3: do just that, they blur those two movies and names

1114
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 3: and you know, actors together. I think, so yeah, yeah, yeah.

1115
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: And the one we've definitely talked about before. I see

1116
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 1: people in the stream team the Berenstein Bears. How you

1117
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: spell that? Is? That one really makes me feel uneasy.

1118
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: It's like you're just convinced the way it was, but

1119
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: it was it was wrong. Amazing fun question there from

1120
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: Gary slash Aaron in the Whales.

1121
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, one other thing I thought of, Gary Bird

1122
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 6: is not Larry Bird's son.

1123
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 2: I thought that for a long time. But he's not Garrison.

1124
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 5: That is common that most people do think that Gary

1125
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,959
Speaker 5: Bird is Larry Bird's son. It sounds like they would

1126
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 5: be related.

1127
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 6: But yeah, totally spelled the g A R R Y.

1128
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,799
Speaker 6: I guess Garrisons don't count as Gary's. That's a different name.

1129
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 2: It's a different name.

1130
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 3: What about a Gareth.

1131
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: To me, is even more of a different name than Gary.

1132
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 2: What about a gar Probably not too many foremans.

1133
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: Isn't that his name? Garfield?

1134
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:55,720
Speaker 2: Wow?

1135
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 5: Wow?

1136
00:53:58,160 --> 00:53:59,280
Speaker 1: What do you got to tell? Wow?

1137
00:53:59,440 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 2: Hey short?

1138
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 6: A couple of weeks ago, I was on Twitter and

1139
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 6: I saw that you were hosting a March Madness bracket,

1140
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 6: and I only had fifteen minutes to fill on out

1141
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 6: and submit. Knowing absolutely nothing about the current state of

1142
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 6: college basketball. I quickly filled went out and submitted it.

1143
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 6: To my utter shock and surprise, I ended thirteenth in

1144
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 6: the final outcome. His name was team's name was green

1145
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 6: with evil og Power Rangers reference, and I feel awesome. Anyway,

1146
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 6: what's the most accomplished you felt with the bare minimum

00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 2: answer for this one?

1151
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I do. But I also was trying to

1152
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: look up like our whole group bracket thing that we

1153
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: all did for March Madness, because I had completely forgotten

1154
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: about that was the thing that we had done. I

1155
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: think we finished almost dev last though like us actively Okay,

1156
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 1: here I got it.

1157
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 5: Oh no, oh no.

1158
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: I take that back. We weren't as we weren't as

1159
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: bad as I thought. It looks like we finished guys

1160
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty fourth out of almost six hundred people. Okay,

1161
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: that's not not atrocious. But I wanted to give some

1162
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 1: love to the four to one two kid who won

1163
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: the No Dunks March Bradness March Madness Bracket Challenge, and

1164
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: then second was w bb Fharton and then JENNOBLEI goat

1165
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 1: and you know those were our top three and everybody

1166
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: there had of course Kansas winning. So to answer the question,

1167
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: the most accomplished I felt with the bare minimum effort.

1168
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:49,120
Speaker 1: I think anytime I've ever gone on vacation, because I

1169
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: don't do anything for it. Nora does everything. I mean

1170
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:55,840
Speaker 1: I helped pay for it, of course, but I do

1171
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: next to nothing. I get to show up, but I mean, like,

1172
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, at a beautiful full resort, or at a

1173
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:05,560
Speaker 1: beautiful restaurant in a beautiful city somewhere. You know, luckily,

1174
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 1: you have had chance to do that many times in

1175
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: my life. And it's like, you know, you're feeling it, right,

1176
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 1: you just feel great, You're on vacation. It's like, I

1177
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: feel like a kid. But I did nothing. Really, I mean,

1178
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 1: I guess I worked my ass off to get me here,

1179
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: but I did nothing in the planning. She does it

1180
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 1: all Leally. I don't know if that's the case with

1181
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: you and Roxy, but ah, yeah, no, I mean, what

Speaker 3: I take care of the activities and entertainment. She takes

1187
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 3: care of the accommodation usually, so that's where we and

00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's adds so much more to the trip.

1196
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: I think, Well, you've got kids, yeah, yeah, yeah. Also,

1197
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: are you okay, let's say you didn't have kids, or

Speaker 2: Yeah.

1203
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 3: We I mean like the first time we went to

1204
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 3: Lima was family and friends trip, wasn't much going on,

1205
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 3: but I was like, if we're going back, I'm going

1206
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 3: to match a pitcher. I've got to go on hike

1207
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 3: on the train and then get the bus up there.

1208
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 3: But the same sort of experience. Now you want to

1209
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 3: get the view anyway. Yeah, and we went to I

1210
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,160

1211
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 3: we did quite a bit on that trip. So yeah,

1212
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 3: but now the kids are at such a great age

1213
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 3: where it's like you can just do any activity age permitting,

1214
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,479
Speaker 3: of course, but they're like, all right, let's plan stuff,

1215
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 3: let's do stuff, and they love it.

1216
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: It was great. What's been the best thing you've done

1217
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: in Aruba so far? Well, you've done what?

1218
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. This water slide I did yesterday was unbelievable because

1219
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 3: you stand into it and the capture it closes you

1220
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 3: and then bool it just comes out from underneath man,

1221
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,919
Speaker 3: and all that feeling of like a complete horror and terror.

1222
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 3: You're going down a dark like covered in water slide

1223
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 3: and a million miles an hour waters rushing up to

1224
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 3: your face. You can't hold on, you can't slow it down,

1225
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 3: you can't stop it or do anything. You just got

1226
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 3: to scream as loud as you can. It's terrifying but

1227
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 3: exhilarating at the same time. I was like I was

1228
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 3: the kid. I was just like, that was.

1229
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 5: Awesome, dude.

1230
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 3: I'm running back up the stairs and do it all

1231
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 3: over again.

1232
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: It was so fun.

1233
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 3: And then Sebastian said I want to do it, and

1234
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 3: I said, all right, man, this, I'll tell you this

1235
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 3: is scary. You're gonna you're gonna shit yourself when you

1236
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 3: do it. But he was like, I want to do it.

1237
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 3: I want to do it, I said, all right, he

1238
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 3: went up and you should have heard.

1239
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: His little voice.

1240
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 3: But when he went down, but then when I got

1241
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 3: down to the bottom, he was like, yeah, it was cool.

1242
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 3: It was cool, but he only did it once. I

1243
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 3: didn't like about a dozen times. It was unreal so

1244
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 3: much time.

1245
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes more sense. Yeah, I was just about

1246
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,680
Speaker 1: depressed that.

1247
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 5: I've been on that slide at one point as well.

1248
00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 5: It's awesome, but I hope you were wearing your sacks

1249
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 5: where with your ballpark pounch. You're set an old time

1250
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 5: wedgie record if you've gone down then a few times

1251
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 5: a last speed going down.

1252
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 3: There, Oh my god, it goes fast. That feeling of

1253
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 3: just like you're just dropping and I can't stop this

1254
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 3: at all is incredible.

1255
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 1: It's incredible.

1256
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 3: I mean it's probably only I mean ten seconds matts,

1257
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 3: but ten terrifying seconds because it spits you out at

1258
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 3: the bottom as well, like a roulette wheel. You come

1259
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 3: out and you're sort of you disoriented a bit there,

1260
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 3: and then you sort of stand up and you're like, WHOA

1261
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 3: where am I? And you basically you spin around this

1262
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 3: thing at the bottom. So it's awesome. It's awesome, But

1263
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,919
Speaker 3: we did the snoopy yesterday as well. Like Oscars five,

1264
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 3: you can't Snooper, but they have one for kids called

1265
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 3: snoober Doo. You wanted to do that, but we were like, nah,

1266
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 3: you're not quite ready for that either.

1267
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: So a man, great, that's a Mendela effect. People realize

1268
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: it was actually called snoopy. Do exactly be?

1269
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 3: It's crazy crazy. No one's heard about it, but everyone's

1270
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 3: heard about it when you're down here, so I don't know.

1271
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 3: It's weird.

1272
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, any other answers to this, The question being

1273
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: from Brennan slash Gary. Uh, what's the most accomplished you

1274
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: felt with the bare minimum effort?

1275
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 3: Uh?

1276
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 5: Yeah. Tasks used to talk a lot about composting, and

1277
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 5: you know the intricate ratios you need to have between

1278
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 5: your browns and greens. So I've consulted with him now

1279
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,440
Speaker 5: that I got a composter. Turns out it's pretty easy

1280
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 5: to compost. You just throw everything into a huge bin

1281
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 5: and like months later it turns into dirt. But then

1282
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 5: you're like, look at this sweet compost I made. It's

1283
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 5: all garbage. Let's throw it back in the yard. And

1284
01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 5: Grosso shits such a weird things like how's the compost doing.

1285
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, oh it's good. It is dirt. Go

1286
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 5: and check it is definitely dirt out. That's rich nutrients. Oh,

1287
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 5: it's nutrient rich. There's no doubt about it. But you

1288
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 5: don't really have to do much. No, you just throw

1289
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 5: it all in there, and magically you got dirt.

1290
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, dirt, baby, don't get too high though, tray, don't

1291
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 6: get too high. One little mess up, one little screw

1292
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 6: up of a very simple process can really throw you

1293
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 6: off track. Sometimes a little dirt start to really help. Sometimes,

1294
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 6: after you've had a huge batch, you take it all out.

1295
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 6: You're like, this is easy to just throw crap in there.

1296
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 6: But it won't start the same way you're thinking. You

1297
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 6: think that, yeah, yeah, it should just happen again. But anyways,

1298
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 6: sometimes you just need a little refresher. I think I

1299
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 6: watched Bree Larsen compost recently. Yeah, a Bree Larsen composting video,

1300
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 6: just to get me back on track because I had

1301
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 6: bad I had a bad little run, I had a

1302
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 6: bad little bench.

1303
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 2: But I'm back, baby, I'm back.

1304
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 6: I got lazy, I got lazy, you know, I was

1305
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 6: throwing stuff in there without chopping it up.

1306
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 2: Could take years. It could take.

1307
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 6: To turn back into that rich, rich soil. But anyway,

1308
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,080
Speaker 6: I've got a dumb answer. I was thinking about the

1309
01:01:56,120 --> 01:02:00,120
Speaker 6: trip one two skeets. I I'm usually the person and

1310
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 6: who doesn't do much. So yeah, I just went to Disney.

1311
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:07,320
Speaker 2: It was easy. Anyways, that was fun.

1312
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 6: But also I just bought my first fitted hat in

1313
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 6: like forever, and I didn't know. It's my Blue Jays

1314
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 6: cap and I've got a lot of effort, a lot

1315
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 6: of joy out of it. I didn't know what my

1316
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 6: hat size was. I just had forgotten and I picked one.

1317
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 6: I did the math. I did a little quick little

1318
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 6: fit bang. Head is still the same size as like

1319
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 6: twenty years ago when I bought a Braves fitted hat.

1320
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: So what you wear? What's your hat?

1321
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 2: Seven and a quarter? Thanks for asking.

1322
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 1: Good size, isn't it. That's got that's gotta be an

1323
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: average to me.

1324
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 2: That's pretty common.

1325
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1326
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, seven is I guess a bit small for a

1327
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 6: regular man's size head fo Yeah, that's a good fun.

1328
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 1: That's a little lego hat. I told you that. Okay, nice,

1329
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: so you gotta kill it, nailed. It looks like a

1330
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: nice hat in the World Series too. That's good timing.

1331
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, totally me.

1332
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 6: I also have that part of the thing sewed in

1333
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 6: where that tells you for pictures, it tells you what

1334
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 6: picture's coming.

1335
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 1: You're just like picking up frequencies of HI outside.

1336
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:18,919
Speaker 2: I'm off to fight.

1337
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: It's got the pitch com up there. Okay, final one.

1338
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: This is a bit of a story time buckle in. Hello,

1339
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: No Dunkers. I'm a longtime listener, first time emailer. I

1340
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 1: want to reach out and thank you guys for inadvertently

1341
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: getting me court side seats to the Blazers game last

1342
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 1: Wednesday night. I'm a full time ride share driver in

1343
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 1: the Portland area and I listened to the podcast every night.

1344
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 1: A few hours before CJ McCollums returned to the Modu Center,

1345
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 1: I picked up a couple who heard me listening to

1346
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 1: the pod and we started talking about basketball. They told

1347
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: me they might have an extra ticket to the game

1348
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,200
Speaker 1: in spite of the red flag. I gave them my

1349
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: phone number an email address, but I didn't think anything

1350
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,280
Speaker 1: of it. An hour later, they told me there friend

1351
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: had bailed and they sent me a ticket. I thought,

1352
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 1: surely this is some kind of prank, but I headed

1353
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: to the arena anyway. The ticket they sent me was

1354
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: for the Nosebleeds and was a legit ticket. I ended

1355
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: up sitting next to them and was really thankful for

1356
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 1: the seat. It was one of the only highlight games

1357
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 1: for the Blazers this season. That's a good point. This

1358
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: couple explained to me that they held season tickets in

1359
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 1: several sections for the purposes of resale, and at the

1360
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: end of the first quarter they told me that their

1361
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:30,919
Speaker 1: three other seats courtside hadn't sold. They invited me down

1362
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: and I sat closer to the action than I ever had,

1363
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: right on the center court line. I don't think I

1364
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 1: would have ever talked basketball with these guys had I

1365
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 1: not been listening to your podcast at that particular moment.

1366
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: And I thank you guys for this awesome happenstance in

1367
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: Nodong's beach step in fashion, I wanted to ask you, guys,

1368
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: is there a time you have a excuse me? Is

1369
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 1: there a time you have taken metaphorically candy from a

1370
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: stranger and you didn't get metaphorically kidnapped metaphorical candy from

1371
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: a stranger and you didn't get me metaphorically kidnapped. What

1372
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: a fascinating way to ask that. Thanks again for keeping

1373
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: me in tune with the league. From the last Blazers fan.

1374
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: That's from Alex ps. I haven't had cable or league

1375
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:11,160

1421
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 3: speak much Italian at all, but it was awesome. It

1422
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 3: was one of the most incredible experiences. The dogs walking

1423
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 3: into the room in the morning and I'm just like, well,

1424

1429
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 3: don't get out of here. You know, I've got my

1432
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 3: but I left. I definitely left cash and credit cards

1433
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 3: and there at times when I went out walking during

1434
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 3: the day and it was incredible. It was an incredible experience.

1435
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 3: And I was just like this old lady's just like

1436
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 3: hobbling down the road She's just like, you want a room,

1437
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 3: and I'm like, ahl, right, old lady, what's going on here?

1438
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 3: It turned out to be one of the most enjoyable staying.

1439
01:07:56,160 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Experiences I've had. Great. Great, that's the answer. I think

1440
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: Alex was looking for trade tasking. You do any better

1441
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: than that than an old lady and a dog.

1442
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 5: Are you interested in hearing about our ride in Oklahoma

1443
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 5: City with Melvin?

1444
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a great one.

1445
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 5: That's not though it it is. At the time, we're like,

1446
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 5: we took a ride with a random dude who was

1447
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 5: a fan of the show named Melvin. Yeah, and apparently

1448
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 5: now Melvin is one of those unpopular boys names number

1449
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 5: four on the Names that are Dying out list. Gary

1450
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 5: is only number nine. So we were lucky to take

1451
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 5: a ride with Melvin. But when you think about it now,

1452
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 5: you know, like ten years later, you're like, I'll hop

1453
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 5: in a car with literally anybody taking me to a place.

1454
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 5: So you know, it was weird at the time, but

1455
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 5: now we are we're all riding with Melvin's out there.

1456
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 3: But Melvin was a weird dude because he got that

1457
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 3: coy ready for like half an hour before we jumped in.

1458
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 5: It was like oh, he was primed. He was prepped.

1459
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 3: Me. It was like, I want the ride, but I'm not.

1460
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 3: I'm not sure.

1461
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 2: Windows slowly rolled with Melvine.

1462
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:10,920
Speaker 1: Oh task, do you have an answer?

1463
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 6: Oh well, Lee just reminded me of when I was

1464
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 6: in Greece. I was working for the two thousand and

1465
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 6: four Olympics. The last few nights, I didn't have somewhere

1466
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,360
Speaker 6: to stay. I ended up staying with somebody who was

1467
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 6: working for the Olympics as well, a local driver. His

1468
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 6: name was Anselo, and luckily he offered a place. And

1469
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 6: I remember a visual that will will never leave my brain.

1470
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,200
Speaker 6: I was having breakfast at Angelo's table, and he came

1471
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:41,639
Speaker 6: up as I was sitting there at his table.

1472
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 2: He was standing in.

1473
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 6: His briefs, and his briefs were directly at face level,

1474
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:51,760
Speaker 6: and he started asking me about some stuff. He just

1475
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:53,640
Speaker 6: he just stood there and had his coffee for like,

1476
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 6: I don't know, three minutes, while his briefs were at

01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 6: my right beside my face for for a good few minutes.

1478
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 6: But he helped me out because I was I stayed

1479
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 6: with somebody for five weeks, family friend, and then we

1480
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,480

1507
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 1: that are very unpopular in twenty twenty one.

1508
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 3: I've never heard of Hadrian either. Adrian, I mean Adrian

1509
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 3: without the H. We had a few of those at

1510
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 3: our school, but not a hat in front of it

1511
01:11:57,680 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 3: unless that H is silent in that case. But yes,

1512
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 3: ewet's wow, Stewart's really taking some tip tough.

1513
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 1: No matter which way.

1514
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 2: You spell, let's stew it.

1515
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 5: You're at it here, dude.

1516
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: And you wonder what Billy Graham superstar thing Graham. Yeah,

1517
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,839
Speaker 1: you gotta wonder how he's feeling. Not too great probably,

1518
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 1: But to me, like when you look at all of

1519
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 1: those names all together, those all seem like names from

1520
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,080
Speaker 1: the nineteen fifties, and I kind of think that that's

1521
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,600
Speaker 1: when Gary was at the top of the charts, like

1522
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: in the Gary Cooper Old West days. So if you

1523
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: want your kid to have a unique name, name them

1524
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:35,640
Speaker 1: Gary right now, name them Hank. You don't mean a

1525
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 1: lot of young Hanks.

1526
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 5: I've met one Hank in my entire life, and he

Speaker 5: in twenty years.

1532
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: Something great about like looking at a baby too and

Speaker 1: calling it Hank.

1534
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:53,719

01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 6: since their title victory, but then Raptor Danny Green receives

1540

01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 6: Harrison Sandford, who is the co host of Danny Green's

1543
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 6: podcast Inside the Grain Room. So it's related to the

1544
01:13:30,400 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 6: championship ring. Harrison tweeted things I learned tonight. Scottie Barnes

1545
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 6: called and asked Danny to have his twenty nineteen championship jacket. Yes,

1546
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 6: he has twenty nineteen championship jacket, and Danny allowed him

1547
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 6: to keep it. This one of one jacket. Harrison, as

1548
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 6: Danny Green's co host. He added, I'm proud but disappointed

1549
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 6: at the same time because that jacket.

1550
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 2: Oh wee, it's a nice one.

1551
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:00,639
Speaker 6: There's a photo of the Raptors put out of Scottie

1552
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 6: Barnes wearing that jacket. It's an Ovo branded jacket's got

1553
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 6: a huge owl on it. And another close up here

1554
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 6: if you're on the stream team with us, it's got

1555
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 6: every player's name sewn on the sleeve. This is og

1556
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 6: and Andobi's jacket is a close up for you. So

1557
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:20,759
Speaker 6: it's a pretty cool bomber jacket that I guess made

1558
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 6: by Drake's company o Vo. Are you in the camp

1559
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 6: skates that you are cool with Scottie Barnes diving into

1560
01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 6: the history of the team, like just being you know,

1561
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 6: almost a fan of the championship, just just just being

1562
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 6: a Raptor for life, or do you think, well, win

1563
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:39,719
Speaker 6: your own title before you put on a jacket.

1564
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 1: Now, this one's so unique that it's like he must

1565
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 1: have like he knows this jacket's hanging around. It's a

1566
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:49,920
Speaker 1: beautiful jacket. Nobody's wearing it. Somebody should be, you know,

1567
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 1: at least putting it on gets cold of course in Toronto.

1568
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 1: So no, this is I'm totally fine with it. It's

1569
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 1: just very funny that is that he has it and

1570
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:03,880
Speaker 1: has worn it, and that Danny Green gave it to

1571
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:04,760
Speaker 1: him is the other part.

1572
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 5: That's the stranger part to me, Like cool that Scottie

1573
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 5: Barnes is asking it kind of feels like he's just

1574
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:12,880
Speaker 5: been wearing it around the Raptors Arena anyways, and now

1575
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:15,720
Speaker 5: that Danny Green is coming, Oh can I have this?

1576
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 5: You know? I just I have been wearing it around.

1577
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 5: But why would Danny Green not want that? It's cold

1578
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 5: in Philadelphia as well, You're gonna need a jacket and

1579
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:23,719
Speaker 5: that thinks sweet?

1580
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? I agree.

1581
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, he didn't ask to get it shipped or anything. Yes,

1582
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 6: so it had just been sitting there in the air

1583
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,479
Speaker 6: Canada Center Scotia Bank Arena, I guess, along with his

1584
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 6: championship ring. But it wasn't you know, part of the

1585
01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 6: ceremony or anything. So you just said cool, yeah, cool

1586
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:44,680
Speaker 6: with it? Cool jacket. That sounds something like something you

1587
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 6: would du Lee.

1588
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 2: Can I have this jacket?

1589
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:46,760
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1590
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: Probably du Yeah, definitely sounds Do you think, uh, do

1591
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 1: you think Drake uh is upset by this? Danny Danny

1592
01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: doesn't want it to this.

1593
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 3: Drake was pretty happy last night. He was pretty happy

1594
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 3: with the goings on there. I mean, Drake shouldn't be.

1595
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 3: He's the biggest bandwagon supporter of all, so you know

1596
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 3: he's probably got like Lebron hate Jackets somewhere and Tad's

1597
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:17,759
Speaker 3: Jackets Warriors jackets, so you know he's probably like, it's fine.

1598
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:22,639
Speaker 6: I was impressed. He definitely jumps on the bandwagon, that's

1599
01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 6: for sure. But Drake was there way before opening tip yesterday.

1600
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 6: He was there for the whole Danny Green ceremony in

1601
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 6: his seat. I don't think he's usually there that early,

1602
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 6: but watching pregame, he was there nice into it.

1603
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 1: Well, congrats to Danny on getting his championship ring for

1604
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, even though he got one after that. And yeah,

1605
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 1: he said they did a show right the green Room

1606
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 1: did at the place we did the show, but the

1607
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: record record yep. Yeah, so I thought it was going

1608
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,519
Speaker 1: around so and I see that coming back for all

1609
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 1: the basketball fans in Toronto there specifically we got to

1610
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:01,439
Speaker 1: get back up there. One of those shows canceled. Actually,

1611
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 1: we were supposed to go right around right when the

1612
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: middle of March. Yeah, yeah, love to make that happen.

1613
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,839
Speaker 1: Let's wrap up this drop podcast with some rapid firefund.

1614
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 1: I've got the questions. You guys have the answers. Here

1615
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: we go. Jay Williams has declared the twenty twenty one

1616
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:24,680
Speaker 1: twenty two Lakers the most disappointing team ever. Yep, there

1617
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 1: you go. NBA related or not, though, guys, what else

1618
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,120
Speaker 1: has disappointed you this season? Lee?

1619
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:33,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sticking in the NBA world. And honestly, it

1620
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 3: was just the dunk contest.

1621
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 1: It was so bad.

1622
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 3: I think this was more than just like a bad contest.

1623
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 3: This was almost like should we even continue this anymore?

1624
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 3: You know, because really All Stars Saturday night, no one

1625
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 3: cares about the skills whatever that is. The dunk contest

1626
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 3: thinks the three point contest is fine with me, but

1627
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:53,719
Speaker 3: you honestly, you may as well just have that halftime

1628
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 3: at the game on the Sunday night, almost get rid

1629
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 3: of All Stars that way, because it was just so

1630
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,679
Speaker 3: bad this year. It was just really felt so flat.

1631
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 5: Okay answer, Yeah, I definitely considered it too. And then

1632
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 5: I went back and like looked at the history, like

1633
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,640
Speaker 5: they canceled the dunk contest after the last Cleveland All

1634
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,200
Speaker 5: Star game. We went back for the seventy fifth anniversary,

1635
01:18:15,560 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 5: had a terrible dunk contest. Maybe it's time to take

1636
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 5: a year and come back rageing.

1637
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 2: Wow.

1638
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 1: Wow, that's funny, it's crazy. Yeah, oh hopefully hopefully not task.

1639
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 1: What's your answer to this one? Is it basketball related

1640
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:32,800
Speaker 1: or not? What else is disappointing you? Now?

1641
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 2: I went away from the court.

1642
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,400
Speaker 6: This is a weird answer, as I'm prone to do

1643
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 6: here in rapid fire. But I'm disappointed with something that

1644
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 6: I did a couple months ago because it was disgusting.

1645
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 6: I was watering a plant and you know, you know

1646
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 6: that feeling when you overwater a plan. Oh, here it

1647
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 6: comes here, it comes, here comes that water. I see

1648
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 6: the water collecting in the collection plate below, and I

1649
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 6: know it's it's going to overflow.

1650
01:18:57,320 --> 01:18:59,639
Speaker 2: I just know what's going to happen. What did I do?

1651
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 6: I grabbed a straw and I sucked out the water

1652
01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 6: and spit it back into the cup because I didn't

1653
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:09,680
Speaker 6: want to deal I didn't want to deal with the

1654
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 6: overflow afterwards. But what I was dealing with was some

1655
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 6: granular dirt in my mouth and it's disgusting and I

1656
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 6: could still taste it, I could still feel it my mouth. Now,

1657
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 6: I don't know if I regret that decision, because I

1658
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 6: didn't have to deal with the water spill afterwards. I

1659
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 6: sucked up enough, got it done with. The dirt wasn't

1660
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:33,479
Speaker 6: too bad. But anyways, Yeah, it's just it was dirt

1661
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 6: so much.

1662
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:38,120
Speaker 1: I'd rather suck up this water dirt than get a

1663
01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 1: towel included. Wow.

1664
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just wanted to know how my compost tastes.

1665
01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 6: But yeah, it was for the immediate. I don't want

1666
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 6: to deal with something after. I'd just rather just grain

1667
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:53,240
Speaker 6: and RJ Barrett right now and get it over with.

1668
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, disgusting.

1669
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:57,680
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

1670
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 5: That's a wild way to deal with overwater. Not just

1671
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 5: a tip out a full on site.

1672
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 6: It's a huge plant. It's a huge plant. There'd be

1673
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 6: no tipping. It would have gotten everywhere.

1674
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 1: Okay, here's a question though, Did you have a straw

1675
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 1: on you or.

1676
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:15,679
Speaker 2: Did you Yeah, that's a good question.

1677
01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I grabbed one quickly from a local dishrack.

1678
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 2: That's so weird, really weird.

1679
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 1: We're okay, from a local trey. What do you got

1680
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 1: for this one? How are you following this? Dirty boy?

1681
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 1: I can't. Man.

1682
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:42,280
Speaker 5: We had fifty thousand subscribers this year on YouTube, which

1683
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 5: was awesome, and then people reminded us that Lee said

1684
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 5: he was going to sing us an original song, Slim

1685
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 5: Dusties a rim with no Net, And I was really

1686
01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 5: disappointed when I heard that because we still haven't heard

1687
01:20:53,200 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 5: that song, and I thought it was going to be

1688
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:57,880
Speaker 5: a guaranteed classic. We're all getting into country music this summer,

1689
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 5: so it would have been perfect to slide onto some playlist.

1690
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,679
Speaker 5: You know, we're out playing spike ball, suddenly Lee comes

1691
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 5: on singing about a ball with no net or a

1692
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:09,679
Speaker 5: room with no nep It could have been great. Chance Ley, Yeah,

1693
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 5: I need to.

1694
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 3: Get with I need to get with Matt so he

1695
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:14,760
Speaker 3: can play the guitar or that. That's that's what we need.

1696
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 3: It might happen.

1697
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 1: So one day and Trey Treo, you're gonna have to

1698
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: play well, I guess not. What did we say? They

1699
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 1: have to get into the actual playoffs? Wolves have to

1700
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 1: ye first round and then you'll you're going to give

1701
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: us a rendition of where Wolves of London right on

1702
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: the guitarmber Wolves of Minnesota.

1703
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 6: There you go, skeets, And let me just ask you

1704
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:38,200
Speaker 6: this question, because one other thing I was disappointed from

1705
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:40,879
Speaker 6: the basketball world was a man I respect, Lang Whittaker.

1706
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 6: He said that Scottie Barnes reminded him of Donielle Marshall

1707
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 6: now Dania Marshall looking back ten thousand points fifteen year career.

1708
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:53,440
Speaker 6: I almost went with that answer. Doniall, Marshall was a

1709
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:57,080
Speaker 6: decent player in the NBA. But I guess now now

1710
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 6: looking at Scottie Barnes' career and his first year, we

1711
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 6: all have higher hopes.

1712
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 2: I guess sin Scotty Barne. So it was disappointing to me.

1713
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:07,759
Speaker 6: But for some people who watch Danielle Marshall at Yukon,

1714
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 6: like Lang Whittaker did, he was okay with it. So

1715
01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 6: is that a disappointing statement for you, because it still

1716
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:13,600
Speaker 6: is for me.

1717
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess it is. I guess it is. I

1718
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 1: won't hold it over the Lang. I like Lang. I

1719
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 1: get where his mind was going. But yeah, now, for sure,

1720
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: Scottie Barne just going I feel confident in saying Scotty

1721
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 1: Barne is gonna have a better NBA career than Donielle

1722
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: Rgial this will he hit eleven threes in the game.

1723
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 3: Though probably not twelve. I think it was for twelve twelve. Yeah,

1724
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 3: I mean that's the thing. Though people could say, well,

1725
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:39,720
Speaker 3: Scotty is like Yannis and You're like, what are you

1726
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 3: talking about? That's ridiculous. So I think Lang maybe just

1727
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:44,240
Speaker 3: went the other way of it and saying, you know,

1728
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 3: maybe Donielle is a good consistent player that you want

1729
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 3: to be. But I think Scotty can be better than

1730
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 3: don Yelle too, hope.

1731
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:53,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, Will loves it. Lang Whittaker a legend, shut

1732
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 1: up slam back. Here you go, next one here. On Wednesday,

1733
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:59,679
Speaker 1: ESPN continued the NBA seventy five celebrations with a throwback

1734
01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: teleg cast of the Nets next game. We talked about

1735
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,559
Speaker 1: it earlier this week. The alternate broadcast featured visuals from

1736
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:09,080
Speaker 1: decades past sixties for the first quarter, seventies for the second,

1737
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:10,880
Speaker 1: and so on. It also included I don't know if

1738
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 1: you guys saw this, Lisa Salters showing off old equipment

1739
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:22,040
Speaker 1: like the perfectly named TK forty camera old camera that

1740
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,560
Speaker 1: they used back in the day, and the more richardson

1741
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,759
Speaker 1: late my favorite of the lights. Guys, what's your favorite

1742
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:31,599
Speaker 1: piece of old technology? Lea you get a start?

1743
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 3: Oh, I still love a good transistor radio. I used

1744
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 3: to love listening to sport on the radio. Could get

1745
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:39,759
Speaker 3: footy golf, tennis, swimming, anything.

1746
01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:40,720
Speaker 2: I love that.

1747
01:23:40,840 --> 01:23:43,880
Speaker 3: And even these days, like really only the playoffs because

1748
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 3: they have to be somewhere. Some of these games kip

1749
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 3: off early and I'm out with the boys. I'll put

1750
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 3: League Pass and stream the radio on in the car,

1751
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:53,559
Speaker 3: so I'm listening to the radio broadcast of a game

1752
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:55,800
Speaker 3: because it just this is something about it that the

1753
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:58,920
Speaker 3: best radio broadcasters can really paint that picture and make

1754
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 3: you feel like you asked watching the game even though

1755
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 3: you're listening to it. So maybe the trans uster radio

1756
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 3: good answer?

1757
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 1: Past what you got? You love baseball? Maybe you're a

1758
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:08,240
Speaker 1: radio guy too.

1759
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 2: I do love me some sport on radio, no doubt.

1760
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:14,439
Speaker 6: I'll punch up the NBA League Pass on the radio

1761
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:17,639
Speaker 6: in the car. Otherwise I like it on the TV.

1762
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 6: But in the car, yeah, I don't watch it, even though.

1763
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:23,839
Speaker 2: It's it's tempting. It's to watch that phone.

1764
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:28,600
Speaker 6: I don't have a good answer the little pet. I

1765
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:31,640
Speaker 6: guess mine is more like a little used piece of technology.

1766
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:37,200
Speaker 6: I think Firefox isn't used like other browsers are. I

1767
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 6: I don't know that for a fact, but I'm still

1768
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:40,280
Speaker 6: a Firefox man.

1769
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:43,600
Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah, just love it, love it?

1770
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 2: Okay, Let it go.

1771
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 5: I'm a Chrome guy these days.

1772
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chrome okay, Firefox guy over here.

1773
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:52,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1774
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:52,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1775
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:55,240
Speaker 6: It feels like I'm on the Escape Navigator over here,

1776
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 6: you know, because I know everybody's chroming it up, but

1777
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 6: it's still Oh Sam you no, no thanks, thanks, he's

1778
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:03,679
Speaker 6: still a Firefox user.

1779
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:05,639
Speaker 1: Didn't you know they're out there.

1780
01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 2: It really sinks. Well with the with your mobile device.

1781
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 2: They talked to each other.

1782
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: It's nice, all right, all right, Trey, what's your favorite

1783
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:14,680
Speaker 1: piece of old technology.

1784
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 5: Well, let me say first of all that I think

1785
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:19,679
Speaker 5: it's very cool and something that's gone away is when

1786
01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 5: somebody will be at a game but listening to the

1787
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 5: broadcast on the transistor radio. Like I always thought that

1788
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:28,080
Speaker 5: was a hilarious mood to like see an old grandpa

1789
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 5: just sitting there watching the game but listening to the

1790
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 5: game at the same time. As for me, my favorite

1791
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 5: piece of old technology the Sidekick three. This was like

1792
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 5: the coolest smartphone to me, with like the flip up

1793
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:45,200
Speaker 5: sort of thing you could actually type with a physical keyboard.

1794
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 5: I remember thinking I would hate going to a touchscreen.

1795
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 5: Obviously we all adapted, but man, the Sidekick three it

1796
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:53,639
Speaker 5: was great. Had a great speaker, on it. You could

1797
01:25:53,640 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 5: buy ring tones. Do they still sell ring tones?

1798
01:25:57,880 --> 01:25:58,679
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

1799
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,679
Speaker 5: I know that's a good aided piece of technology right there,

1800
01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:05,160
Speaker 5: the ring tone. But yeah, sidekicks, that was a great

1801
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 5: phone in the transition from like, you know, straight up

1802
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 5: phone to straight up computer device. It was kind of

1803
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 5: right there in the middle, and it looked cool and

1804
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:18,480
Speaker 5: it was super bulky and loud every time you opened it.

1805
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 1: Great stuff, all right, great answers. I didn't know what

1806
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:23,640
Speaker 1: we were gonna get from that one, but it was

1807
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: a nice little throwback there. A final one, though, comes

1808
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,360
Speaker 1: from Adam who writes in had a good laugh on

1809
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:33,160
Speaker 1: Monday and Task said the Miami Heat needed Duncan Robinson

1810
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 1: type for the playoffs, and then proceeded to suggest Max

1811
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:40,160
Speaker 1: Struce over the actual Duncan Bumpson, which is very funny.

1812
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:42,720
Speaker 1: When was the time you were perfect for something but

1813
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 1: someone else was chosen instead?

1814
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 3: Lee, what do you got, humbou bragg here? Metro media jam,

1815
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:52,559
Speaker 3: I just hit the game winning shot. I was apparently

1816
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 3: gonna win MVP. They were about to interview me for

1817
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 3: the post game, but they said, hang on, you're with

1818
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:00,559
Speaker 3: NBA TV. If they said yeah, I said, have NBA

1819
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 3: TV people thought there's some sort of cross or competing

1820
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 3: sponsorship or something like that, so they yanked me out

1821
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:10,000
Speaker 3: and gave m VP at the tournament to one of

1822
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:12,680
Speaker 3: my teammates. To be fair, Drew Schiller was the m

1823
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 3: v P at the tournament. But I just hit the

1824
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:18,439
Speaker 3: game when I was about to win it. I was

1825
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 3: about to get interviewed everything my walk off by one moment,

1826
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 3: and I got bumped for it because of that is.

1827
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:26,559
Speaker 1: Amazing that that's the reason he didn't want.

1828
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:29,559
Speaker 2: That is ridiculous. It was an immedia game.

1829
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:31,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.

1830
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 3: Whoever was sponsoring it, I think was some sort of

1831
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 3: competing sponsor with the NBA.

1832
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 2: Something something like that.

1833
01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:38,719
Speaker 1: And you can't put that is one.

1834
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 3: An NBA TV person for this, just like ah, all right,

1835
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:44,840
Speaker 3: as long as someone got the camera shot at the

1836
01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:47,800
Speaker 3: minute and spin in the bar in the tournament, that's fine.

1837
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 2: That's le Ellis from GBA TV. I can't say it

1838
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:53,880
Speaker 2: a conflict of interest.

1839
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:56,640
Speaker 1: Shuman agrees with.

1840
01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:01,799
Speaker 7: Drew Schiller was as well. No where Schumanns are questioned,

1841
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:05,480
Speaker 7: Danny LaRue is voting U MVP. I remember the podcast

1842
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:13,080
Speaker 7: on the broadcast. Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay, what do you

1843
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:15,280
Speaker 7: have for this one test.

1844
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 6: Well, I will say to the question, Max Strews is

1845
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:22,640
Speaker 6: the better Duncan Robinson. Right now Shrews has got to

1846
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 6: be in the starting lineup, looking forward to what happens there.

1847
01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:25,639
Speaker 2: With the heat.

1848
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:30,160
Speaker 6: But for me, I applied to be the public address

1849
01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 6: announcer of the Brampton Battalion Ontario Hockey League team back

1850
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 6: in Canada in two thousand and three. Didn't get the gig,

1851
01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 6: should have. It was an audition tape I made.

1852
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:43,640
Speaker 2: Along with JD. JD helped me.

1853
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 6: He produced this audition tape, handed it in and then

1854
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 6: my actual audition, I walked into an empty arena, handed

1855
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 6: a microphone and had to basically call out goals like

1856
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:57,599
Speaker 6: you would hear a public address announcer. Do goal scored

1857
01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:04,560
Speaker 6: by number seventeen Graham assist, number six beater BDS and

1858
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 6: number fourteen PDPDPD time of the goal seventeen eleven. I

1859
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:11,759
Speaker 6: mean I sucked at the audition and the better person

1860
01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 6: probably got the job.

1861
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:14,600
Speaker 2: But it would have been fun. It would have been

1862
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 2: a fun job.

1863
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:17,320
Speaker 1: You know, you don't think you did very well in

1864
01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:17,799
Speaker 1: the audition.

1865
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 2: You know I wasn't ready.

1866
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 6: I wasn't ready for an empty arena, no microphone. I

1867
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:25,040
Speaker 6: should have been I guess that's the job.

1868
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:31,679
Speaker 2: But oh I didn't know. I have to say, yeah, yeah, strange,

1869
01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:32,679
Speaker 2: that's great.

1870
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:35,679
Speaker 1: Uh, I would have been. You could have called everybody

1871
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:39,640
Speaker 1: Gary too, Trey take us home here?

1872
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:39,920
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1873
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:42,200
Speaker 1: What is a time you were perfect or something but

1874
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:43,800
Speaker 1: someone else got it instead?

1875
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 5: Did you have a National Honor Society in high school?

1876
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:53,320
Speaker 5: It's like a big sort of it's an honor society.

1877
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:55,200
Speaker 5: You know, they pick the best of the best at

1878
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:58,360
Speaker 5: the end of the year. So like all these strivers

1879
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:01,639
Speaker 5: out here with their high GPAs their extracurriculars, of which

1880
01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 5: I was one. But they kept me out of National

1881
01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 5: Honor Society for two years in high school because I

1882
01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:10,160
Speaker 5: talked too much in class. And look at me now,

1883
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:14,439
Speaker 5: all I do is talk and I never use my brain.

1884
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 5: So thank you, miss McCoy. I know it was you,

1885
01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:24,080
Speaker 5: Miss McCoy. Your chemistry class was so boring I had

1886
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 5: to talk through it. Yeah, I had to eat the

1887
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 5: augur even though you said nobody should eat this.

1888
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:30,160
Speaker 2: I ate it.

1889
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:33,240
Speaker 5: Is that why they kept me out of NHS? Maybe yeah,

1890
01:30:33,400 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 5: maybe maybe not, But at least I'm having the last

1891
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:43,800
Speaker 5: laugh here because I haven't thought about chemistry and eighteen years,

1892
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:46,160
Speaker 5: seventeen years. I haven't thought about it in seventeen years.

1893
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:47,720
Speaker 5: But I think about basketball a lot, and I do
