00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: No one knows, but Happy Boxing Day. I'm Jay Skeets

Speaker 2: Happy holidays to you as well.

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: You guys got up to some fun. You took the

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: kids to Disney? Is that correct?

12
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. You know the Disney adult over here

13
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: had to go to Disney for Christmas and it was

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: a lot of phone. You had a good time, for sure,

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: did you?

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: Or why didn't you stick around for the Disney game?

17
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: You got great scents, I know we were talking about that.

18
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: I was like, we're extending the Disney trip. We came

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: back on Christmas Eve. Keep wanting to say New year'

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: z for some reason for Christmas Eve and we're all

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: watching a game. The kids were loving it. We talked

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: a little bit more about it later, but yeah, yeah,

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 2: I was like, man, we should have day. We could

24
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: have been sitting right over by Mickey and Donald and

25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 2: Goofy when they were out of the game.

26
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, absolutely, you may have been able to play

27
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: in the game for all we know.

28
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: I bet you that's the.

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: Next step with these things. You're gonna be able to

30
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: put yourself into these games you're watching.

31

39
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: four here soon, we're going to go through all five

40
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: of those Christmas Day games. I am excited to hear

41
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Esha's kids report on the cast there from Disney, Mickey

42
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: and Friends. But according to Sham's, Jimmy Butler prefers a

43
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: trade out of Miami ahead of the February sixth deadline.

44
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: So Schams on Christmas Day, we got a whole slate

45
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: of great NBA games to talk about. No, no, no,

46
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: we got more on Jimmy, So ESPN reported two weeks ago.

47
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: You might remember that the Heat are willing to listen

48
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: to trade offers for Jimmy Butler and that Butler wants

49
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: a win now contender in any deal, and we had

50
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: that little list of teams that he would be open

51
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: to being traded to. So I guess the new update

52
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: from Chalms yesterday, and this is very funny when you

53
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: think about it. Jimmy Butler has not formally requested a trade,

54
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: but he prefers a trade out of Miami ahead of

55
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: the deadline, and it's believed that he is ready for

56
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: his exit. Here in the article from Chams obviously set

57
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: it on air and then had the article to go

58
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: with it. Both sides, Jimmy Butler's camp and the Heat,

59
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: they do appear ready to maybe move on from this

60
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: Butler led era as the Heat, you know, lean into

61
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: around Bam, lean into Tyler Hero and then maybe whatever

62
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: pieces come back, if they come back, if a trade happens.

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: For those that don't remember, Jimmy Butler has a player

64
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: option for the twenty five to twenty six season that

65
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: he has basically informed teams and everyone that he intends

66
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: to decline. So that means Jimmy Butler would be an

67
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: unrestricted free agent after the season. And this is where

68
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: it gets interesting. This idea of like, do the Heat

69
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: need to trade them? Do they gotta move now and

70
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: get something back or they'll lose them to nothing. That's

71
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: not necessarily true because I think the only team with

72
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: any real significant cap space this offseason right now things

73
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: can change, of course, is the Brooklyn Nets. And I

74
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: don't see the Brooklyn Nets being a team pursuing Jimmy

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: Butler either in a trade or of course even signing him,

76
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: because they are sort of in the middle of their

77
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: own rebuild and that would be a little weird. He

78
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't even want to play there. So this means

79
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: if Butler is going to get a long term contract

80
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: that he he's seeking, he's gonna have to sort of

81
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: get traded now, and that team then gets to keep

82
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: them because we'll have the bird rights in the off season.

83
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: But to quote Scham's, Butler needs the Heat's help here,

84
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: and this is a test of balance and how the

85
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: franchise handles doing right by its cornerstone of the past

86
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: half decade. I guess Jimmy is also upset here, right

87
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: that the Heat have struck out on landing star players

88
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: to come join them. Most recently, of course, was the

89
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: Damian Liward. Everybody myself and clude we thought Dame was

90
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: going to Miami. He didn't. He goes to Milwaukee in

91
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: the end. But there's been like Kevin Durant wanted to

92
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: play there, Kyrie back in the day wanted to play there.

93
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: Maybe even Donovan Mitchell, you know, rumors that he would

94
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: find his way to Miami and none of them did.

95
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: And maybe that's a part of Jimmy Butler's frustration, in

96
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: addition to not getting the contract extension, in addition to

97
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: sort of pat Riley calling him out a little bit

98
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: in last year's exit interview, sort of the idea like,

99
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 1: hey man, you gotta play. We need you to play

100
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: to be good. So there's all this. It does feel

101
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: like this is the beginning of the end here Jimmy

102
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: Butler on the Miami Heat. Whether it happens in a

103
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: trade or whether he leaves in the offseason, we're going

104
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: to find out. I do think the Heat could just

105
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: play out the season with Jimmy Butler if he continues

106
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 1: to play dice right, and again, he hasn't formally request

107
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: a trade. I mean, you can get yourself into some

108
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: financial trouble you start doing that. I think you can

109
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 1: get fined like up to one hundred and fifty thousand

110
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: dollars if you are to do that. But he's not

111
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: doing that. He's not doing that. Again, that's how Sealm's

112
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: is wording it here. He would just prefer to be moved.

113
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: But all that said, the Heat have to explore the

114
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: trade market, like they're taking calls like of course, you'd

115
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: be stupid not to. In an ideal world, they're going

116
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: to hope to get back probably an expiring contract, probably

117
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: a young player with high upside, and probably one, two,

118
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: three first round draft picks. But we rarely get what

119
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: we want in life. Okay, so you're not probably getting

120
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: all three of those things. Would they be happy with

121
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: getting two of those three things? Possibly? We've already done

122
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: a lot of like potential trade packages for Jimmy Butler

123
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: when the news first broke two weeks ago. The one

124
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: that I keep coming back to though, is the Warriors.

125
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: I think they have the pieces to get Jimmy there.

126
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: They're reeling, you know, we'll get into another loss that

127
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: they just suffer here on Christmas Day I think they've

128
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: lost eleven of their last fourteen. You still have Steph

129
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: Curry obviously capable of Steph Curry things. You've got Draymond

130
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: Green to help your defense. You've got pieces. But it

131
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: feels like they need sort of an injection of a

132
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: star player. And is there a there's no definition of

133
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: a sixteen game player more than Jimmy Butler. That's what

134
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: Draymond's always saying. Right forget eighty two game players, who cares?

135
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: We want sixteen game players. Now you need to get

136
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: into the playoffs to actually have those sixteen game players shine.

137
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: But that's Jimmy as Jimmy in a nutshell. That guy

138
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: is built for the playoffs. So how do you get there?

139
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: It's Andrew Wiggins contract, it's probably Gary Payton the seconds contract,

140
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: and then Jonathan kaminga the big sort of high upside

141
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: piece that you could sign if you're Miami, or potentially

142
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: sign if you're Miami. A bunch of picks. Now, I

143
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: will say, right now, you plug that into the trade machine.

144
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler for Wiggins, Gary Payton the second cominga draft capital.

145
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't work like you gotta like either fold in

146
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: a third team or you gotta like tweak it more,

147
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: have other players go in. Maybe Heywood high Smith goes,

148
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: Pell Larson go maybe a Loony comes back like it.

149
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: It's very difficult with where these teams are currently at

150
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: with their salary structure to just make a deal because

151
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: the Heat cannot take back more money, excuse me, more

152
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: salary than it sends out in a trade, so that

153
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: further complicates matters. And again that could necessitate a third

154
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: team to get involved. And I think the Warriors can

155
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: only take back like four hundred thousand dollars more than

156
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: they're sending out, So it's like a tight, tight window

157
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: you can make it happen. I think it still happens.

158
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: I think Jimmy Butler ends up on the Golden State Warriors,

159
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: with Kaminga being, of course the key piece here for

160
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: the Miami Heat. The Rockets a team that always comes

161
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: up here because they have the contracts that you could

162
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: add together, they have the young prospects, they have some

163
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: draft capital. I don't think they're doing it. I think

164
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: it would be silly to trade like Dylan Brooks and

165
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: Jabari Smith Junior and cam went Moore and maybe you

166
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: got to throw in an Aaron Holland Ay and then picks.

167
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: I just don't think they should do that. I really

168
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: don't with their timeline. And then the Nuggets is an

169
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: interesting team. I saw Andy Bailey, who's a notorious Jokic fan.

170
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: Obviously he wants to get some help there for him.

171
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: Could you do something Jimmy Butler for Michael Porter Junior,

172
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: Zeke Naji, Dario Sarich and then picks swaps because they

173
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: are short undraft picks, like multiple pick swaps. Like is

174
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: that enough? Like you are banking, you're hoping, you're loving

175
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: Michael Porter Junior as a star alongside Bam and Tyler Herro.

176
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't love it. I think the Nuggets

177
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: do it in a heartbeat. But I don't see Miami

178
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: panicking by any means and having to do something like that.

179
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: I think the Warriors, if you're in love with Jonathan Kminga,

180
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: makes a lot more sense. But setting up here for

181
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: an interesting trade deadline, we have Jimmy Butler's name obviously

182
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: sort of back in the headlines. We just talked about

183
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: Darren Fox earlier this week, and the idea of like

184
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: Rich Paul, you know, sort of like sussing out the

185
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: King's front office. Hey, are you making trades now to

186
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: improve this team? Or are you moving my guy? Brandon

187
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: Ingram's name is still a guy that's available. I'm sure

188
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: from the Pelicans we have sellers. I believe in the

189
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: Jazz if they want to get off more of their

190
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 1: vet contracts. Likely the Bulls, you know, building up the

191
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: uh the trade value in Vooch and zach Lavine. Maybe

192
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: the Nets are still looking to unload guys, and then

193
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: we could have buyers in the Warriors, maybe the Lakers

194
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: and other team. So anyway, I don't know, it's setting

195
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: up to potentially a juicy trade deadline, but that's where

196
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: we're at. On the Jimmy Butler news. It's like an

197
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: ESPN Christmas tradition to give us some spicy news that

198
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: maybe when you then pull back, is not all that spicy.

199
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of two years ago, WOJ dropped the Christmas

200
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: Day bomb about James Harden potentially re signing with the

201
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: Houston Rockets once he were to hit free agency. Remember that,

202
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: I was like, what are we doing here? So it

203
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: was Jimmy Butler back in the news yesterday. Thankfully for

204
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: all of us. It didn't overshadow the games. And let's

205
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: get into those and Ash feel free to jump in

206
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: on any of these, But the first one was I

207
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: thought the game of the day, and you know, I

208
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: still Lakers Warriors was amazing. You know, we had a

209
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: game winner in the final second and huge shots from

210
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: Curry and obviously another Lebron Curry duel. It was great.

211
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: We'll get to it. But I called my shot saying

212
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: that Spurs Knicks would be the best game of the day,

213
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: and I think it really was. It was super entertaining,

214
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: just a tremendous back and forth game kick things off too.

215
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: I think that's important. I think you always want your

216
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: most important games to be that first game and then

217
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: like that sort of at least for East Coasters obviously

218
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: that that Marquee eight o'clock game, which was what the

219
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: Lakers Warriors game was for us over here on the

220
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: East Coast. But Nick's win behind forty one points from

221
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: McHale Bridges and then some absurd great hustle plays from

222
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: Josh hart Laate, like just getting like huge offensive rebounds,

223
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: a couple of them down the stretch. Great game from Bridges,

224
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: though I saw people saying that's a little Phoenix McHale

225
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: Bridges mixed with a little Brooklyn Nets McHale Bridges. That's

226
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: the perfect Bridges. And he was incredible cooking in the

227
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: mid range, just dominant, and really capped off like a

228
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: really good month for him. Again. He started very slowly

229
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: with this new Knicks roster, finding his role was still

230
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: good defensively, but like obviously was struggling to score and

231
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: hit shots, and like now the last couple of weeks

232
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: unlocked and just like an incredible game to go for

233
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: forty one on Christmas. While that was going on, we

234
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: had Wemby going for forty two, eighteen four and four

235
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: in his Christmas debut. You know, we just saw Lebron

236
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: play his nineteenth Christmas Day game. You know, fingers crossed

237
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: well Chiefs. I was gonna say, in twenty years, if

238
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm still doing this show, shoot me. But in twenty

239
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: years from now, we should have Wemby still playing on

240
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: Christmas Day games Like this is just a lock. I

241
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: don't care if the Spurs are good, I don't care

242
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: if they're title, I don't care. Wemby should be on

243
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: Christmas and I think the NBA will be wise to

244
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: do so. So we had two forty point games in

245
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: the same Christmas Day game, first time since like nineteen

246
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: sixty one. And then we mien Yama nearly tied Wilt

247
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: Chamberlain's record of forty five points in a Christmas debut,

248
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: which has stood for sixty five years, and for a minute,

249
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: Wemby actually did tie him. If you're watching this game,

250
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: about six and a half minutes to go in the

251
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Wemby knocked down another three pointer. It would

252
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: have given him forty five points, but then an officials

253
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: review determined that a foul called on the Knicks away

254
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: from the ball occurred before wemby shot went up, and

255
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: it's like, we're looking at the monitor, we're taking away

256
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: these points even though the foul was called, and I

257
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: believe Wemby was like maybe Skealles. Yeah, Well he was

258
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: scored held scoreless for the remainder of the game, which

259
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: is sort of crazy because there were still six minutes ago.

260
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: But awesome stuff from the Knicks down the stretch. And look,

261
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: they're one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.

262
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: I don't know where you put them against the Celtics

263
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: and the Cavs, and you know, maybe the Bucks says

264
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: they've turned it on, even though even the sixers who

265
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: will get to are starting to look like a real

266
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: team again. But the thing that jumps out to me

267
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: is compared to last year is now when Brunson is

268
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: on the bench, it's not like, oh we're screwed or

269
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: damn can we hold on to this lead? They're like elite.

270
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: They don't even need Brunson's like, like he doesn't need

271
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: to be the number one guy every night kat a

272
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: ton of times. Obviously Michael Bridge is now even Ogi's

273
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: had moments. So that's huge for the Knicks because like

274
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: Brunson's I mean, you talk about sixteen game players, I mean,

275
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: that guy does it all season long, but damn he's

276
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: he goes, he levels up in the postseason. So huge, huge,

277
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: fun game. We also had Ash come in here the

278
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: Dunk the Halls Mickey Mouse Alternative Broadcast. I watched the

279
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: first half of the Mickey Mouse and Friends. I was,

280
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: dare I say, thoroughly entertained, Like it was better than

281
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: I thought. It was giggy, but what'd you think? And

282
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: what did the kids think?

283
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: Manly dude, they loved it. The kids came in we're

284
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: watching the game really learning, like you know, they were

285
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: trying to teach the game of basketball or this thing,

286
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: which was really cool for me. I'm just like, yeah,

287
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: my three year old, huge Mickey Mouse fan, you know,

288
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: froze up when he met him this past week. But

289
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: oh yeah, he was. He was Mickey Mouse fan saw

290
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: him and he was like, oh my god, Mickey Mouse

291
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: is right here in front of me right now. Gave

292
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: him a big hug and just just was over the moon.

293
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: But then to come back, you know what none.

294
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: Of your kids terrified of, like those giant mascots.

295
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: Well, the baby she's one, right, she she was super

296
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: excited every time I say, hey, you want see Mini

297
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: Mouse me Minnie, uh, super excited, smiling, laughing, like jumping

298
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: up and down. As soon as we get in there

299
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: and she gets two feet away and she's just like

300
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: back in the way, you know, what is that? But

301
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: she you know, waved out her blue kisses and all

302
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: that good stuff. So it was it was really.

303
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: Kept a nice, healthy distance.

304
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 2: But as soon as soon as they saw Mickey Mouse

305
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: step onto the court shoot a jump shot, they were

306
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: in it. They were like, who Mickey is hooping right now?

307
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: Like everybody was like, Mickey's hooping right now.

308
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: So we were wondering, remember on the show, like how

309
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: is this gonna go? Like right, because we were seeing

310
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: the animations for the players. They were showing us Wemby

311
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: in a cartoon version, and and Cat and they showed

312
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: us like the Star guys. Then the game started and

313
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: it was all Cribium wrong. It was all ten of

314
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: the player animations right, and I was like, Okay, this

315
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: is weird. And then just sort of out of nowhere,

316
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: no rhyme or reason to it. It's like Goofy is

317
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: in for Cat, or really Goofy became Cat.

318
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 2: I was. I was very intrigued too, because the announcement

319
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: was that these Disney players would be on the court

320
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: with the players. I'm like, how is that gonna happen?

321
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: Yeah?

322
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: Right? So yeah, just seeing it, first of all, did

323
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: you watch any of the real broadcast? So you just

324
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: watched the first half and then.

325
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: Mickey watch the entire first half of the Dunk the Halls, okay,

326
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: and then I went over to the real game for

327
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: the second half.

328
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: I couldn't turn it off. We watched the Dunk the

329
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: Halls the entire game, the entire game again.

330
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be.

331
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: At some point I started like, Okay, I get it.

332
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: I've seen enough.

333
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: I couldn't turn it off. I really couldn't. So when

334
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: when they subbed out at first, I was like, oh, okay, well,

335
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: Cat's going out of the game now. For the first part,

336
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 2: we were at the breakfast table eating breakfast, just I

337
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: had the game on my phone, We're all kind of

338
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 2: gathered around it, and I had the real game on

339
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 2: the TV. So when I went in there, I was like, oh, wait,

340
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: Cat's still in the game, but goof Goofy's in the game,

341
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: So I go back. I turned on the big TV,

342
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, okay, so I see what they're

343
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 2: doing now. I see how they're integrating this or whatever.

344
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: It was awesome though. I loved seeing Goofy get the

345
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 2: dunk run down with the Cat mannerisms.

346
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: Man like god, that was the crazy part.

347
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: It was amazing.

348
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: Goofy as Cat was perfect, perfect, perfect, Like the size

349
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: of them, the way they move. The Cat sort of

350
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: is a Goofy type.

351
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: Dude. I could tell that Cat was Goofy easy right,

352
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: Like if I didn't know, I could tell that Mickey

353
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 2: Mouse and CP three were the same. What. It took

354
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: me the longest, Like until the end of the game,

355
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 2: I did not realize that mckel Bridges was Donald Dunk.

356
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, Donald hoop.

357
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: Celebration the Fridges cell.

358
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that's michel Bridges right there. The

359
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 2: one thing was hilarious. Donald goes in, he has the

360
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 2: little scoop reverse layup and then Donald hits the baseline

361
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: drive off the rebound, puts it back in, gets to

362
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: and one. I'm like, Donald's the MVP man. Donald Duck

363
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 2: is taking everything right now. The kids are going crazy.

364
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: My mom was there. None of the rest of the

365
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: adults are paying attention to this game, by the way,

366
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 2: Like my mom was making fun of me because I

367
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: was so into it. I'm just like, Mickey Mouse is hooping.

368
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 2: She's like, why do you care? Like is this a

369
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: real basketball game? Like, yeah, this is real. This is

370
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 2: that's that's Chris Paul, but it's Mickey Mouse and I'm

371
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: cheering for it.

372
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: It was really funny. I mean, I even loved like

373
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: the no commercials, that's the best part. It was the

374
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: best part. Like the trivia. They would just throw up

375
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: and like I mean, I was sort of watching with

376
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 1: my sister in law. I mean everybody was like what

377
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: the hell is this? Like what what is this? And

378
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: then you're explaining it and then they're sort of getting

379
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: into it, and then more they seem to have more

380
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: fun with the trivia and like the weird cutaways and

381
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But yeah, I guess it was like

382
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: it was pretty significantly behind the game broadcasts right right,

383
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 1: it was like a minute or two behind. But I

384
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: was amazed by how like, like how good a job

385
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: they did taking gameplay and then putting it into the characters.

386
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: Like I was like, it was fluid. It wasn't like

387
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: too many screw ups, you know what I mean.

388
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 2: I wasn't very stodgy at all. Pretty smooth for the

389
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: most part. Like I know, you know, somebody, I think

390
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: my ten year old is like, what are these graphics?

391
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, it's not it's not a PS five

392
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: we're looking at you know.

393
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

394
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: I mean they're going to get better is a thing

395
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: exactly right, Because a year or so ago they tried

396
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 2: this on Disney Plus with a football game. They had

397
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 2: Toy story characters doing the same thing, and the army

398
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: men or whatever toys were doing. It looked terrible. I

399
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 2: think I said this on the show last time I

400
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: was on. It was just like it was really really

401
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: bad and it never worked, like they kept having.

402
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: Too many moving parts in a football in.

403
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: The football game. Yeah, but one of the cool parts though,

404
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 2: I saw it like they dove to the floor one time,

405
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: then they fall to the ground and then one of

406
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 2: the players just disappeared. He just magically pulled away, and

407
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, there's like Jaelen Bronson is

408
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: up with the still and then it's just like he

409
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 2: the guy disappeared, he comes up with the still and

410
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 2: then he just goes on for the layup. I was like,

411
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, that's kind of dope. It's a mess up,

412
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 2: but it was.

413
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: I was impressed with the like the replace they would

414
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: show right, you get like an alternative angle I don't

415
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: know from Santa Slayer or whatever, like Ba's like, okay,

416
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: this is pretty pretty slick. I didn't think they'd be

417
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: able to do that.

418
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 2: I saw the I saw the windy replay where he

419
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 2: hit the three and the foul happened in that, so

420
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: I had no idea I was looking. I was like,

421
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I feel like I feel like

422
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 2: it happened at the same time. Of course, you know

423
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: we saw the replaying that they took away, they took away,

424
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm arguing with the TV because I'm like,

425
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, I feel like he did it because

426
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: just the way that the characters move, it kind of

427
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 2: seemed like it happened at the same time. And I

428
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 2: was just like, all right, everything. I literally watched the

429
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 2: entire game from top the bottom wow on main show.

430
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: And what did you think of? Then we have a

431
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: photo of it here of animated Adam Silver, Commissioner Silver

432
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: before the game. He was part of the Dunk Contest

433
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 1: judging as well.

434
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 2: It's uh, he's very funny looking to hear he looks.

435
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 2: I always think that he kind of looks like the

436
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: guy from you ever seen Roger Rabbit? Yes, he looks

437
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: like the villain from Roger Rabbit, and this cartoon version

438
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: of him is even more unsettling to me. But uh,

439
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: I don't I don't really have much to say other

440
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: than that I know what a luck I was dying.

441
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 1: I tweeted that out. People don't laugh at that.

442
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

443
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: And as for the dunk contest. You obviously watched that.

444
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: I assume. I'm sure the kids were that. Do you

445
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: think they got it right with miny mouse jumping over

446
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:42,959
Speaker 1: the castle?

447
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 2: My sister called it. She said many mouse is gonna

448
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: win as soon as the things started, and I was like,

449
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: oh no, I feel like Donald actually might be the

450
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 2: one to take it home. It was a nice dunks

451
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: and air slaw to Mickey uh somersault into a Jordan

452
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: from the free throw line, and I was like to

453
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: cheer in for that one.

454
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: But then he like did he like backflipped out of it.

455
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: So what I'm saying like, I don't know, Mickey might

456
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: have been robbed. He might be wow wow, But I

457
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 2: don't know. The mini the mini dunk was pretty cool.

458
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 2: I didn't know you could give an eleven on the

459
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: dunk though, But you know.

460
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: One of the else gave an eleven. You're right, yeah,

461
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: Silver gave it a perfect ten.

462
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

463
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: I got more than thirty out of thirty. It got

464
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: thirty one out of thirty. I don't know. I thought

465
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: Goofy was robbed a little bit. He had the tough

466
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,959
Speaker 1: spot of going first. He obviously has the height issue,

467
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: always tough for a big dunker, but he put his

468
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: he like won up to Vince Carter, like Vince put

469
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: his arm in the rim. Goofy put his whole damn

470
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: body in them.

471
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: So come on, right on, Bran, for goof that.

472
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: I guess he did jump off the dog. He jumped

473
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: off Pluto SOPs. Pends how you feel about that, but yeah,

474
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: it was. I can't believe we just talked like literally

475
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: five minutes by maybe ten minutes, but it was entertaining.

476
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 2: It really was.

477
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: They should do more of that, Like can't do it

478
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: all the time, has to be like Marquee like ten

479
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: pole events, but they could do more of this and

480
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: it could obviously just get better.

481
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: I think I think he talked about this on the show.

482
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: I think you guys might have had it as a question.

483
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 2: But what what other properties would be good?

484
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: I guess is the you're the one to ask.

485
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 2: You know everything about Disney. I don't know. When I

486
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: was a kid, I always wanted like a game like

487
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: this where it was basketball, but it was all these

488
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 2: different ips playing in it with using their different abilities,

489
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 2: Like say you throw Spider Man in the game and

490
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 2: you're dribbling, you just web up the ball. Yeah, or

491
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: web the ball away or a Jedi using the force

492
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 2: or something like that. So if we had something like that,

493
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: maybe the Marvel you know, Disney using Marble.

494
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: Because they did that dumb Marvel one. But that was

495
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: like just like keeping.

496
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 2: Someone was done. Yeah, Like it was like if you

497
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 2: get a dunk, you get a point for Team Black

498
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: Panther or something, and it was nobody knew what the

499
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: hell was happening.

500
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you could like have Hulk as one

501
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: of the like in b or something, if you just

502
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: did the whole matching thing, that would that would.

503
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 2: Be pretty would be pretty slick.

504
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: Anyway, good job by ESPN and and Disney and all

505
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: of them involved in that. It was a lot better

506
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: than I thought. And if the kids liked it, so

507
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: that's good. Let's keep it moving here. A game too, weird,

508
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: very weird game. Anthony Edwards scored twenty six and the

509
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: Wolves held on and I mean held on to beat

510
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: the MAVs one oh five ninety nine after Luca's injury.

511
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: So we had Dallas trailing by twenty two points heading

512
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: into the fourth quarter, and as this quarter went on,

513
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: the MAVs had cut it to two, but Ant came

514
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: through in the clutch. I thought to help Minnesota land

515
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: the victory. He had a jumper. It was about one

516
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: fifteen left right side of the floor, got to his spot,

517
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: rose up, hit that and then the big one to

518
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: ice the game. He attacked PJ. Washington on the perimeter.

519
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: Could have settled for three, could have settled for a jumper.

520
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: He's like no, I put his head down, finished with

521
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: the left hand layup with about twenty seconds to go,

522
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: and that sort of did it. So big win. Minnesota

523
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: needed this. They were on a three game skid coming

524
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: into that Christmas Day game. They were giving up a

525
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: ton of points over that losing streak, something like an

526
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: average of one hundred and twenty one points and fifty

527
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: percent shooting from the opposition over that three game skid.

528
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: So they got back to a little bit of defense.

529
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: Big story though, was Luca leaving in the second quarter

530
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: with a strained left calf. Could be severe. They're saying

531
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: like he could miss some time a couple of weeks.

532
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: He did use crutches while leaving the arena postgame. What

533
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: a weird season for Luca. My math might be wrong.

534
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 1: I might be misremembering or adding one that I shouldn't,

535
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: but it feels like this is his fifth lower body

536
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: injury this year. It's been a ton and he had

537
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: just come back from the left hill contusion. This was

538
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: like his second game back, so now the calf, but

539
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: there's been a bunch of other things. Again, maybe fact

540
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: check me in the stream team. I feel like he's

541
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: had four or five lower body injuries. It's all different.

542
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: Dallas is fair and okay without him when he hasn't played,

543
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: I think he missed. He missed technically eight games you

544
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: want to call Yesterday's Christmas Day game is ninth, Sure,

545
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: go ahead, and he played half of it, but there

546
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: are six and three if you count that. Now, Dallas

547
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: is so they've done okay, but missing Luca, your MVP

548
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: guy for significant amount of time, that would suck. I

549
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: thought Rudy Gobert and Randal though totally outclassed the Bigs

550
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: on the MAVs in especially Lively in Gafford for a

551
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: majority of the game. I thought they were really, really good.

552
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: And then a little note. Klay Thompson made four to

553
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: three pointers in this loss, increased his career total to

554
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: twenty five and sixty two career threes. He passed Reggie

555
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: Miller to take over fifth place on the NBA's all

556
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: time list. When I first saw that during the game

557
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: and that announcement and going around on Twitter, I'm like, fifth. Wow,

558
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: Reggie has dropped a sixth already. But it's true. It's Steph,

559
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: It's Harden, it's Ray Allen, it's Damian Lillard, and it's

560
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson and then Reggie Miller. So wow, it's sort

561
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: of weird that, like, as this goes on, Reggie Miller

562
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: is gonna be like, I don't know, it'll be like

563
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: fifteenth or twentieth all time. And three pointers made just

564
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: like a strange thing to think about, just with how

565
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: many people shoot and make threes in today's game. But

566
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: Goodwin Wolves needed that. I mean again, that would have

567
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: been a brutal loss if the Mavericks had pulled that off.

568
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: Kyrie had a really good look at a three on

569
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: the right side of the floor, basically the classic Kyrie

570
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: spot where he's had some success in finals before, but

571
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: he just missed it. He was awesome though, in trying

572
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 1: to bring them back. I mean, he just like Anthony

573
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: Edwards was like after the games, like that was awesome.

574
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: It's like my favorite point guard ever. It was so

575
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: fun to play against and you're like, okay, yeah, but

576
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: try and stop him, you know. But they held on.

577
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: They got that victory and they needed it. Weird sort

578
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: of start to the third game of the day, Embiid

579
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: shook off a pregame fall. I'm laughing because it's just

580
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: so silly at this point with him, but he helped

581
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: lead the Sixers to a one to eighteen to one

582
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: to fourteen win over the Celtics. So for those they

583
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: don't know, Embiid managed somehow to stumble on a security

584
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 1: guard's foot twist his ankle less than an hour before

585
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: the start of the Christmas Day game in Boston. It

586
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: took him a while to get up. He was pissed off,

587
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: he was angry. He basically stop up to the locker room.

588
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: But he played. He's like, it's Christmas, I gotta play,

589
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: basically what he said, and he's still wearing the masks

590
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: there for the sinus fracture. He was good. He was

591
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: very solid, but Tyres Maxie stole the show. Thirty three

592
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: points twelve assists. Dude is so fast that that play

593
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: with like a minute to go where they have very

594
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: little time on the clock inbounding from the side. He's

595
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: so fast. He caught the ball, lost the ball, got

596
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: the ball back and got the shot off in like

597
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: a second and a half too. Again Ice the game

598
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: like that was crazy, like he hit him, dropped it,

599
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: got it, put it in. So awesome game from Maxi.

600
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: He was so good. Now there's no jew Holiday to

601
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: try and you know turn that turn that uh water

602
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: off there from Tyrese Maxie. But a win's a win.

603
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: Porzingis left after half time too. We had a bunch

604
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: of like odd injuries sort of during the Christmas Day

605
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: games yesterday. But Philly's second unit they went on that

606
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: huge run. This was a close game after three quarters.

607
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: They went on a twenty three to six fourth quarter

608
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: run their second unit for the most part, and just

609
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: gave him enough of a cushion to survive the Celtics

610
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: late push. Cayla Martin though seven to nine from three.

611
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: You know he has a habit of catching fire against

612
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: Boston famously buried the Celtics in the twenty twenty three

613
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference Finals, at least early there where he couldn't

614
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: miss seven and nine from deep. Good defense too, and

615
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: beats that after the game quote he hates them as

616
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: much as I do, referring to Caleb Martin, just like

617
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: always having the Celtics numbers. So the Sixers now have

618
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: won eight of their last eleven games. They're eleven and seventeen.

619
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: They're now just one game back, I believe from the

620
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: play in tournament spots. So guys are playing for the

621
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: most part, and Maxi is definitely looking like Maxie of

622
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: last season. I'll star Maxie here now. He was so

623
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: so good. Boston meanwhile, has lost back to back games

624
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: for the first time all season, three of their last four,

625
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: now four games back from the Cavaliers in the race

626
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: for the number one seed. I don't think they really

627
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: care about any of this. It's all going to be

628
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: about being healthy come playoff time and they're going to be,

629
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, probably easily a top three seed, and we'll

630
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: feel like they can beat anyone either at home or

631
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: on the road. But just to note that this is

632
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: their this is their first real slump here, I would

633
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: call it in a while, for a very long time.

634
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: In these couple of games, what did you think, ash

635
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 1: too of the Celtics wearing their green jerseys? Good? And

636
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: then accessorizing with a bunch of red like red tights

637
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: and shoes and stuff like that.

638
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 2: What do you think? I mean, I liked it. I

639
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: was in my grandma's house and when this game started

640
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: and we looked from the kitchen, I was like, hey, everybody,

641
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 2: look at the red, look at the Christmas. They're like, oh,

642
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: my wife's like that's cute.

643
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

644
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: So I mean I like that, like accessions like that.

645
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: If I'm playing two K, I'm trying to make the

646
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: gays look good. You gotta look good while you're playing,

647
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

648
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one it's unfortunate for the Celtics. One of

649
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: those things. It's like more cute if you get the victory, yeah,

650
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: and like clowned on a little bit more when you don't.

651
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they made it.

652
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: They made it a game. Tatum had a good game.

653
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: But I'm with you. I mean, I like, you know,

654
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: I know. Lebron was even complaining about where are the

655
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: Christmas Day jerseys exactly, which is insane, Like those those

656
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: like old like Christmas card font jerseys were the best.

657
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: Like I love those, I love the color of them.

658
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: They're so simple. But we haven't seen those since obviously

659
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: Nike took over.

660
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is so weird to me because we have

661
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand jerseys for every other thing. But when

662
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: we have these big events, right like we should have

663
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: uh you know, like we talk about All Star all

664
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 2: the time, where are your own jerseys? Maybe have something

665
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 2: special for that, like a variation of your own jersey.

666
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 2: Christmas Day should have their own jerseys. The finals should

667
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 2: have something more like we kind of used to have

668
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: certain things with the Finals, maybe like a golden or

669
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: the the trophy on it or whatever. I don't know.

670
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: It's just we have every other kind of jersey for

671
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: every other kind of thing, but Christmas we just have

672
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 2: a little snowflake on the back.

673
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was gonna say we used to have the

674
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: snowflake on the front even but of course now that's

675
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,719
Speaker 1: where the ad has to go. I can't do that.

676
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, they put it on the back where the

677
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: NBA logo is. You get the little snowflake, which I like,

678
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: great touch. But yeah, I'm with you, Like, I can't

679
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: believe they went away from those obviously that script fun.

680
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 2: I thought they looked great.

681
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: And I will just say, like, we don't need a

682
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: new color, not everybody has to wear a different color

683
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day because I do like the idea of like,

684
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: especially if casual fans are watching, like, oh, Boston is green,

685
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,479
Speaker 1: the Lakers are a goal whatever, right, right, but so

686
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: just keep the colors, but yeah, do something a little

687
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: more festive exactly, like because you said we have a

688
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: million jerseys as it is so weird that they don't

689
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: do really anything for Christmas. But I thought it. Yeah,

690
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: I thought it looked fun too, you know. I like

691
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: that they were like I love that they It was

692
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: talked about. It was like, hey, are we doing this?

693
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: Or someone pitched it, you know, someone in the equipment

694
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: manager was like, you guys want to go all red?

695
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 2: You know Christmas, you gotta you gotta do this. I

696
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: used to miss uh, I missed the Everybody used to

697
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: have the Christmas sneakers too, right, Like you know Kobe play,

698
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 2: he had the Kobe Christmas Day sneakers. Lebron had Christmas

699
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 2: Day sneakers, like I saw a couple of last night.

700
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 2: A few people had them. You know, there were there

701
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: were a few.

702
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: I know, I forget what they were inspired by. I know, uh, well,

703
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: there was some d books I saw like that book

704
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 1: because he wasn't playing.

705
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had the uh what was it, the Sally

706
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: the Sally d bits from from the Jack for Christmas.

707
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: Thank you. That's right, that's right. It was like that green.

708
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: I thought they were cool. Actually I needed the books. Hey,

709
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: I got a new basketball for Christmas.

710
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome when you get the original Evo, not

711
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 2: the not the new n X T there O g

712
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: Evo man O g even supreme.

713
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: I got the red in the Wilson There he goes

714
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: from my buddy Gris, your buddy Grish, our buddy Grish

715
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: coming through. He knew I needed a new ball. I've

716
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: been saying it forever that I needed one. I just

717
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: never did never pull. They're not cheap, I mean no

718
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: there So it was a nice gift. But now at

719
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: our run, like I'm gonna hoop tonight, I swear to god,

720
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: we almost have every color of this Wilson ball.

721
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 2: Everybody's got a color. Huh.

722
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: We got the like there's degree, we got the blue,

723
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: we got the red.

724
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 2: They gotta switch them out every game at this point.

725
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, well now, but this is the now.

726
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 1: There's arguments of like, hey, we're going red, well not

727
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: yet but like, hey, we're going green. No, no, we're

728
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: playing with blue. No, we're playing with the original. Oh

729
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: that's hilarious. They're all the exact same ball, but you know,

730
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: some some feel a little more worked in, feel a

731
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: little bounce here or whatever. But yeah, I can't wait

732
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: to break that in tonight. We'll see where that goes.

733
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: All right, two more games here to take you through. Yeah,

734
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, probably the game of the day,

735
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: Lebron scoring thirty one points in his record nineteenth Christmas

736
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: Day game as the Lakers hold off Steph Curry and

737
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: the Warriors one fifteen, one thirteen. In this game, in

738
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: the final couple of minutes, we had a block by

739
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: James and a double bang from Mike Breen. So that's

740
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 1: a everything you need to know about this game. Like,

741
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: my god, Mike Breen getting to give us both of

742
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: those really really fun. AD unfortunately did have to leave

743
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: again like a bunch of guys getting injured. Luca Porzingis,

744
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis only played like seven minutes, so Reddick leaned

745
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: into playing small ball, centreless basketball in second half. Once

746
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: AD was out spread the floor, let Lebron go to work.

747
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: Spray in that ball out to shooters, and a lot

748
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: of these guys were on really Hachimura, Austin Reeves, Max

749
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: Christie had himself a game, and then Lebron picking his spots,

750
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: when to score and when to set up guys. It worked.

751
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: Reeves particularly special, finished with a triple double on Christmas

752
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: Day twenty six points, ten boards, tennis sists. He had

753
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: the game winning layup with one second remaining. What a play. Again,

754
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: incredible shot making by Curry to get the Warriors back

755
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: in this game. That's where we got the double bang

756
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: there late for Mike Breen, but the one he hit

757
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: the corner was even more insane, just like where he

758
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: inbounted the ball and screamed to the corner and like

759
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: flinged it off one foot. But Reeves getting Wiggans out

760
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: there again just like Anthony Davis or Anthony Edward, excuse me,

761
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: didn't settle, attacked, got in there just like snuck that layup,

762
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: passed Wiggans long arm and got the game winner. And

763
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: then there was no timeouts for the Warriors, so Curry

764
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: had a chuck one up from seventy feet. I don't

765
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: think it would have counted if it went it looked

766
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: like it was just after the buzzer, but my god,

767
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: it almost went which was pretty funny. Are all the

768
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: Lakers from the bench streaming onto the floor. That would

769
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: have been very funny. If that went in. I think

770
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 1: it would have been late. Lakers did a good job though,

771
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: taking care of the ball. I think they only turned

772
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: it over nine times, sort of kept up with the

773
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: Warriors on the three point shot. Fifteen three pointers made

774
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: it for the Lakers compared to eighteen for the Warriors.

775
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna live with that. Lebron again, thirty one points,

776
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: twelve to twenty two shooting. He had ten assists, He

777
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: only had one turnover. He became the NBA's all time

778
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: leader in Christmas Day victories, his eleventh win in nineteen appearances,

779
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 1: So eleven in and eight for Lebron on Christmas. And

780
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: then after the game tells everyone talking to Lisa Salters,

781
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: looks are in the eye, looks the camera in the eye,

782
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: and says, quote, I love the NFL, but Christmas is

783
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: our day, oh man, Lebron saying this is ours. Goodell, okay,

784
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: and then Beyonce goes, well, it's actually mine, but you

785
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: know who's keeping track. But that was sort of cool.

786
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I love it. Look, I'm an MBA Sico,

787
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: so I like to see Lebron And that was good.

788
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 1: Though I know those football games are not particularly entertaining

789
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: at least close wise and competitive wise, and for the

790
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: most part, all of these games were really really competitive games.

791
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: So this was good. This could have gone very poorly

792
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: for the NBA if we're being honest, right blowouts. We

793
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: already had some injuries, so luckily that didn't sort of

794
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: overshadow everything. You know, some team shooting sixty five threes

795
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: like stuff like that, whatever, and then it would just

796
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: been more and more of like what had been happening

797
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks. Oh, ratings are down,

798
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: all the NBA's broken. Oh what are we going to do?

799
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 2: Set it?

800
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: Like, at least for one day there it felt like,

801
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: oh yeah, basketball is badass, and it was like entertaining

802
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: games and like high drama here on Christmas Day. Now,

803
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: of course a lot of people say, well, the NBA

804
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: shouldn't start till Christmas Day. They might be right, it

805
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: should be a shorter regular season, but anyway, won't get

806
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: into that tough loss for Golden State, they dropped eleven

807
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: of their last fourteen. I said that earlier talking about

808
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler trade rumors. Dennis Shuter, he's struggling here in

809
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: his new role to sort of lead this offense when

810
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: Curry's on the bench. He went three to ten in

811
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: about twenty eight minutes, so he's struggling to find his

812
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: rhythm here. I think it'll come. I mean, he's a gamer,

813
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: but I also think there's going to be a trade

814
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: happening with Golden State Warriors. I am still laughing though,

815
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: over two things from this game. As funny as Lebron's

816
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: post game quote was too, Steph Curry going up to

817
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick on the side and asking him how many

818
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: texts he has this season? How many texts you got?

819
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 1: JJ Reddick thinking he meant text, like as in your phone,

820
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: and then Curry's like, no text. And like when Curry

821
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: said text, Draymond Green just appeared like he just like

822
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: like a moth to a flame, just showed up. You're

823
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: talking text, talking text. Very funny. And then another moment

824
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: with Draymond Green that went viral, I know, at least

825
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: him literally playing Red Rover at the free throw line

826
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: trying to fight for a rebound off off the free

827
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 1: throw miss, but locked both arms of Dalton connect and

828
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: ruy Hachamura and like just then fell on his back

829
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: and like dragged both guys down and then he got

830
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: up like well, they can't do that to me, and

831
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: he got called for the foul. And that was like

832
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: I think I was Scott Foster actually got that one right,

833
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: because like, what are you doing? Richard Jefferson on the

834
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: call was very funny when they were showing the replay,

835
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: what the hell Draymond Like, that's a fell on you. You

836
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: literally link both their arms and then pull them back

837
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: down to the ground. Funny stuff there from the Dubs

838
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: in a loss, or at least from Draymond Green and

839
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: then our final game. I did not stay up to

840
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: your entire thing. I had to watch some of this

841
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: this morning after ten hours of basketball, I was gassed

842
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: and a bunch of food and a bunch of booze

843
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: and a bunch of just doing nothing. That's the other part.

844
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: Took dark for a walk. That's all I did. That

845
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: was my only physical activity of the day yesterday. Took

846
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: lunif for a twenty minute walk in the morning. But

847
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: I did catch the end this morning, Durant and Beale

848
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: scoring twenty seven points each. Sons beat the Nuggets one ten,

849
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: one hundred Sun's first Christmas Day wins in two thousand

850
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: and nine. That surprised me, but I was like, Okay,

851
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: not that they're playing every year, but they've played and

852
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: they usually lose. They had just been blown out by

853
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: the Nuggets on Monday Night one seventeen to ninety, a

854
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: rare Denver Nuggets blow out win. But the Suns put

855
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: up way more fight in this one. They did it

856
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: without Devin Booker, who's out with the groin injury. Grayson

857
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:00,399
Speaker 1: Allen is out with a concussion protocol at least, and

858
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: I thought, obviously this team felt embarrassed from Monday Night

859
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: and came in way more locked in and the role

860
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: players in Ryan Dunn Joshakog. Big burst of energy from

861
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: both those guys. Offensive rebounding, diving for loose balls, just

862
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: doing all the little things that you need to do

863
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 1: around your star guys like Katie Monte Morris a really

864
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 1: nice game off the bench eleven points, three assists. But

865
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal, I think had his best game of the

866
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 1: season for the Suns. He had twenty seven points, eleven

867
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: to twenty one shooting. Thought here he was showing off

868
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: to handle more than he has this year, looked tight,

869
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: created some space a couple times with it. He had

870
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: two boards, four assists, four steals, he had a block,

871
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: and just three turnovers. So Bradley Beal, I thought, really

872
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: really impressive, and that's a good sign for Phoenix if

873
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: he can get back to a little bit too Washington

874
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: Beal days. Beal said after the game, if you look

875
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: at all those games, and he was talking about ones

876
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: that they've lost, we weren't having fun, weren't enjoying it,

877
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: just pressing, trying to make the perfect play. I think

878
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: just finding that joy it uplifts you in every category

879
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: of the game. One of my favorite things about NBA

880
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: basketball and covering it. So when a guy just says

881
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: we just got to get back to having fun, it's

882
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: like such a hilarious line to me. A lot of

883
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: truth to it. I do believe it. But that was

884
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 1: Beel after the game. And as for Denver, you've seen

885
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: and heard and read the story before. Sun sort of

886
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: took advantage when Yokic was resting late in the third quarter,

887
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: earlier in the fourth, they stretched the lead to twelve

888
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 1: before your return.

889
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 2: Though.

890
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: I will say what was different from this game was

891
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 1: he was a minus three overall, So this wasn't a

892
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: positive Yokic game with just him out there, and then

893
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: bench gave it all away when he sat. There's been

894
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: a both. I mean, they did a really good job

895
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: the Sons did on him. He just didn't have a

896
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: dominant Yokic performance, which it feels like he has to

897
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: do most of the times to get their team a win.

898
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: But good, you know, decent nightcap. Again, I fell asleep,

899
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: so I watch the rest of it and the highlights

900
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: and stuff like that this morning. But you know, for

901
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: the if any of the games were going to be

902
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 1: the you know, the just the more chiller ones, you

903
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: make it that last one, right, because a lot of

904
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: us here we're all basketball doubt by then. I still

905
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: think five's too many. On Christmas Day, I think we'd

906
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: be totally fine with three. Way back in the day

907
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: we used to do three. I think that's great. Have

908
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, one early one, one sort of mid one,

909
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: and then one at night. But it's probably here to stay.

910
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 1: And uh, we'll see how the ratings fare against those

911
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: NFL games on Netflix ash before we go. Did you

912
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: watch Cowboy Carter? Did you watch Beyonce's performance on Netflix?

913
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 2: No? Not at all. Ooh you watched it? You were in.

914
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 1: We watched it. I didn't watch a second of football,

915
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 1: but kept my eye on the score and obviously my

916
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: my wife and sister in law wanted to watch it,

917
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: and I was in too. I'm like, okay, it's on,

918
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: it's coming. We fired it up, and uh, it was

919
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 1: almost better than some Super Bowls performances.

920
00:43:59,719 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 2: Really.

921
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's like, you gotta go check it out.

922
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: It's probably on Netflix. They probably posted it. Yeah, it

923
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: was awesome. I mean I liked that album too, the
