23
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: not like being publicly disrespected, and those two things come

24
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: in conflict at times. And he clearly wanted to get

25
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: that line off and then keep it moving, and I

26
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: wasn't about it. I was like, hey, I was like,

27
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: say it again. He's like, what's it feel like to

28
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,960

29
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: just explain, explain what you mean. And he hemmed and

30
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: hawed and stammered, but he also was not going to

31
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: be like, oh, I'm just kidding. So we so we

32
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: had a moment, he and I and I'm like, you

33
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: gotta tell me what where the sell what the sellout

34
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: part of it is? Like cause I picked the MAVs,

35
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: Like what are we talking about? And he then all

36
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 2: of a sudden got very animated and I'm like, all right,

37
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: well this could go you know, this could go sideways

38
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: on me a couple different ways, but I guess we're

39
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: gonna wait and see what happened. And then as that

40
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 2: happens to Monsey, because I was waiting at the bathroom

41
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: for your mom. As that happens, your mom comes out

42
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: of the bathroom, and I honestly think she scared him off.

43
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: He's like, what's the problem here? And he and he

44
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: starts walking away and curses at me walking away, curses

45
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 2: at me, and your mom yells, oh, you're gonna talk.

46
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: You're gonna talk, mess and run away. That's what you're

47
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 2: gonna do. You're gonna talk, and you're gonna run. And

48
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: then he's lost in the crowd. So aside from that

49
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: really great evening in Boston, go ahead.

50
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: I could you imagine if he was like, actually, I'm

51
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: not gonna walk ways.

52
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: Well at that point, here's the thing I always kind

53
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: of in those spots have like power in numbers, Like

54
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: even though it was a Boston crowd, everyone had been

55
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: so nice to me and I had taken so many

56
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: pictures that I also have the added kind of feeling

57
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: of security of this isn't really gonna go.

58
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: Left on me, Like there's an advantage.

59
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: That's exactly right, that is exactly right. I felt like

60
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: I had home court advantage even though I was in

61
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: some random Boston pub surrounded by Celtic fans, because when

62
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: I'm out in these spaces, I think it's one of

63
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: my biggest kind of strengths as a public person is

64
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: I really spend time with people. If you over and

65
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: say hello, I am meeting you at your eyes, I'm

66
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: shaking your hand and we're having a moment, you know

67
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 2: what I mean? Where that.

68
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,880

69
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,160

00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: go the way I had hoped, But what are you

99
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000

100
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: I know who Bill Simmons is. And he was very

101
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: happy about that. He's like, oh, and so there was

102
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: So there were a lot of cool people we got

103
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: to see. We'll talk about all that. Also, if I

104
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: made just real quick, I just saw my Twitter feed

00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: that Shannon Sharp signed an extension uh with ESPN. Congrats

106
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,240

107
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: he took a leap, and obviously what he's doing online

108
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 2: is crushing, and also what he's doing on TV is crushing.

109
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: So even though there is you know, a network rivalry

110
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: if you will, a lot of good people over there.

111
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,239

112
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: He was unbelievable obviously an unbelievable football player, and then

113
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: he and Skip did, in my opinion, the best debate

114
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 2: show in the country for the better part of a

115
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: half decade, if not longer. And now he's doing great.

149
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: on the staff that might have Harry Potter clucked, Daniel

150
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 2: would have been who I went to as I was saying,

151
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: but uh, but so one of the funniest radio bits

152
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: ever is the when that book came out. That's an

153
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,719

00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: in Kansas City Church Alislow made one of his internser

156
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 2: producers stand in line so they could be one of

157
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 2: the first people for the book, and then made them

158
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: go home and read it eight hundred page book. You

159
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: have to read it and have it finished by the

160
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: time the show's on the next day. So they like

161
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 2: speed read the book. And then Laslow opened the show

162
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: spoiling it and said, hey, everybody, Dumbledore killed Snape or

163
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 2: Snape killed Dumbledore. Sorry, And there were protests. I mean,

164
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 2: it was a jerk move, but it is a hilarious bit.

165
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 2: It is a hilarious bit. Twenty years ago. So twenty

166
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: years ago, the book just comes out, and the day

167
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: after he publicly just starts the radio show with Snape

168
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: killed Dumbledore. It was on the news in Kansas City.

169
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: It wasn't all time great radio bit, all time radio bit.

170
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: And then also lastly, Lebron says, bad boys for sodium good.

171
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it yet. Okay, let's get to the

172
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 2: actual show. Demon's a lot to do.

173
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 3: Go ahead. Yeah, So the Celtics, of my Celtics, they

174
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: took a commanding two zero lead in Dallas or in Boston. Sorry,

175
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: and it seems like you might have made an assistant

176
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 3: coaching debut at at the Celtics arena. I don't know

177
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: what Celtics arena is called, honestly, t.

178
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 2: TD garden, called the Boston Garden T garden?

179
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, So how was that witnessing your Slovenian son?

180
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 3: Take that? Take that out? Even though he did well,

181
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 3: he had a triple double win. You've seen to be listen.

182
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: I went into the game saying, Luca's got to create

183
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 2: fifty five points. He created fifty five points on the nose,

184
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: thirty two points, eleven assists, one of those assists. Was

185
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: was on a three, so that's fifty five on the nose.

186
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: Here's here's where I was concerned. So there's obviously, and

187
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: I think we'll roll through it at some point. A

188
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: meme of me looking very concerned. I'm on the broadcast

189
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: watching Luca get you know, wrapped, and I'm standing there.

190
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: I didn't love any of this. I'm like, okay, I

191
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: knew that he had been added to the injury report

192
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 2: or downgraded on the injury report because of a chest thing.

193
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: But here's where I was worried that he might not

194
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: be able to be effective. Now, obviously he was. Right

195
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: after they do player intros demanse, when they're coming out

196
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: for the opening tip, Luca is going player by player

197
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: and coach by coach, dapping them up right, and one

198
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: of the coaches instead, while he's dapping someone else up

199
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: gives him a light little one of these taps on

200
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: the chest and Luca winces and the coach goes oh,

201
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: and then Jason Kid looks at him like what are

202
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: you doing? And I'm like, oh, boy, Like that wasn't

203
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: for the cameras, that was you know, no one else

204
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: saw it. It was just getting tapped on his chest.

205
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: Whatever he was dealing with hurt him. Now he did

206
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: not look hurt. How he played, I thought he played well.

207
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: I'm also going to be consistent on something that people

208
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: have for a long time wanted me to criticize guys

209
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: for that. I simply don't think it's fair, which is

210
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: Luca in this game, in this series, but in this

211
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: game in particular, was not that effective in the fourth quarter,

212
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: and people are like, well, you know, can he close?

213
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 2: Can he not close? Fourth quarter effectiveness and how much

214
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 2: I expect out of you has always been on a

215
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: scale of how much did you have to exert in

216
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 2: the first three quarters to get your team in the

217
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: game in the fourth. So with Kyrie struggling the way

218
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: he was with this is an insane stat man other

219
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: than Luca, no mav in this series has made more

220
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: than one three pointer. Lukea is eight of twenty one

221
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: from three. The rest of the team is five of

222
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: thirty one, and no one has made more than one.

223
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: So I felt like Luca, we have did was didn't

224
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: have the luxury of being able to you know, coast

225
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: at times or rest at times throughout the first three

226
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: quarters of the game because if he wasn't doing what

227
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: he was doing, they were gonna be down twenty and

228
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: then come the fourth quarter he was gassed. Now, if

229
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 2: you want to say he needs to be in better shape,

230
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: he needs to be able to go hard for forty

231
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 2: plus minutes. It's the finals that is fair. Only in

232
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: this regard, there are only two guys in the last

233
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 2: uh ten fifteen years that have been able to consistently

234
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 2: do that, and that was Lebron and Giannis, guys that

235
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: can go all out and still have the most left

236
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: in the tank in the fourth quarter. Jokis, to his credit,

237
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 2: seemed to be able to do it in a different

238
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: way in last year's playoffs as well. But we saw

239
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: Yannis do it, and we saw Lebron do it every

240
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 2: year for damn near a decade. Uh and so it's

241
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: just like Steph would get Steph wouldn't play those super

242
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: high minutes. Durant would play those super high minutes, but

243
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: then would sometimes trail off in the fourth quarter. Very

244
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: very difficult. Now on the actual game, Demanse, let's talk

245
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: about your Celtics for a second, because their game plan

246
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: has been brilliant, defensively brilliant, and that's Joe Mizzula, who

247
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: I think is a little bit of a weird odd gut,

248
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: but I love it. So listen. The Celtics fans are

249
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: loving Missoula right now, and his ability to scheme a

250
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: defense that is simply saying we are not going to

251
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: allow you to shoot corner threes has been excellent. They take.

252
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: They have five attempted corner threes this series. That's crazy.

253
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: That's really crazy, and that's coaching. And I know that

254
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: Kevon looney yesterday and Kevin Wilde's yesterday both kind of

255
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: soft launched the take of Luca needs to get his

256
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: teammates more involved. That's not what I'm seeing. I'm not

257
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: seeing that Lucas being you know, super ball dominant. He take.

258
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: He took fewer shots in this game than Jason Tatum did.

259
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: He's still had eleven assists. They're not making shots, and

260
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: the Celtics defensive scheme has been we're gonna single cover guys,

261
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: We're gonna sing will cover guys and not allow the

262
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 2: role players to get hot. The guy who should be

263
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: able to take the most advantage of that is Kyrie.

264
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: Because Kyrie, with his skill and ball handling as great

265
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: as Drew Holliday is, and as good as Derek White is,

266
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: he still shouldn't be struggling to this level if they're

267
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: not doubling him. And so if people think I'm making

268
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: an excuse for Luca, what what grade would you give

269
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: Luca Demons through two games for his performance through two games?

270
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 3: As just say A B plus plus plus.

271
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: So B plus is what where I've landed at it

272
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: because he's held to a higher standard eight. But he's

273
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: certainly not the problem. What is true is he has

274
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: is Defensively, he hasn't been good. There's there's no question.

275
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 2: But what I will say, the MAVs would have signed

276
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: up for Boston scoring one oh seven and one oh five.

277
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: They're not losing because of their defense. Now maybe they

278
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 2: will in a future game, but the MAVs defense has

279
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: been good enough. Their offense is doing nothing, and that's

280
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: been that's been the problem. Here is the other truth

281
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: for Luca. He for them to win the series, he

282
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: has to be an A plus. I think that he's

283
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: going to have to have the MAVs path is if

284
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 2: they are gonna win the series. Luca has two games

285
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: where he is unstoppable forty plus points and double digit assists.

286
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 2: You need two of those. You need Kyrie to have

287
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: one excellent game and one game where the MAVs role

288
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: players catch fire from three. I think the catch fire

289
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: from three role players game is likely to be game three,

290
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: but we see. Listen. If what I'm asking of Luca

291
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: sounds too much, I don't think it is. What he

292
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: needs to do is what Yannis did when he was

293
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: down two to zero in the finals. That's the path

294
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: Yannis in that game too much like Luca played really well,

295
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 2: had forty two and four and twelve with four assists,

296
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: but they lost. In the final four games of that

297
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 2: series against the Suns, he averaged thirty seven thirteen and

298
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 2: five and a half assists. That's what is going to

299
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 2: be necessary for the MAVs to win is for Luca

300
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: to go on a run similar to what Yannis did.

301
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 2: And when Yannis did that, he got rightfully crowned the

302
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: best player in the world. If Luca does that, sorry Jokic, folks,

303
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: I think Luca will be rightfully crowned the best player

304
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 2: in the world. If if he doesn't, then Jokic's probably

305
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: retains that title. And if Luca is just if he

306
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: is thirty, ten and ten. The rest of the way,

307
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 2: the Maps don't have a chance. They are not good

308
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: enough to beat the Celtics without Luca being a plus.

309
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: And that's what we're seeing. And if we want to say,

310
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 2: if he's not a plus, he's an f, so be it.

311
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: I don't look at it that way. I do think

312
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 2: Boston deserves a ton of credit. I think Boston's defense

313
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 2: has been excellent, and Boston not having a weak link

314
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 2: in their five man starting lineup is a huge There's

315
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 2: nowhere to hide defensively because all five guys can score,

316
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 2: and there's no easy matchup offensively. And again, if people

317
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: are hearing this and like, well, Nick, so why did

318
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: you pick the Mavericks. I pick the Mavericks because it's

319
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 2: very difficult for me to go against a team that

320
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: has the best player in the series. Correctly anticipated and

321
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: we'll talk about this more in a moment, that Tatum

322
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: might struggle a bit, and I I this is where

323
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 2: I totally whiffed. I thought the Celtics lack of competition

324
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: up to this point in the playoffs was going to

325
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: set them at a huge disadvantage, and I.

326
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: Were the opposite way. What go ahead? To get they're

327
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 3: super rested, they haven't played anybody serious and everybody's on

328
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 3: full ten. The Mavericks came out, I wouldn't call it

329
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: a dogfight. Obviously they beat the They beat the Timberwolves

330
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 3: pretty swiftly, but they had to play a lot more

331
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 3: tougher guys, and I think I think it's catching up.

332
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 2: And the series against Oklahoma City was brutal, even though

333
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: it only went six games. That you know, the timberl

334
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: series was you're the road team, You're playing a team

335
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 2: coming off their emotional high. There's there and those if

336
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 2: you remember the timberl series, those first three games, for

337
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: first two games in particular, came down to the final minute.

338
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: And so yeah, that does take something out of you.

339
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 2: I mean I thought it would because they still then

340
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 2: got eight days off. I thought they were going to

341
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: be rested and peak challenged. Instead, it hasn't looked like that,

342
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 2: and the Celtics have had no problem at all turning

343
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 2: the switch from all right, these teams can't beat us.

344
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: To need full attention to detail, and they're giving it that.

345
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 3: I helped a lot. I wonder what that looks like

346
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 3: if we don't have porzingis in that first, and we also.

347
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: Might find Listen, the Porzingis injury is uh yeah, there

348
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: are two right now flies potentially in the Celtics. Ointment

349
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 2: one is is house hurt is is porzingis? Sorry? How

350
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 2: hurt is porzingis? That's a real question mark to the

351
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 2: point to where I would if I were Boston, I

352
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: would strongly consider resting him in Game three. I know

353
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 2: it's the finals and that sounds ridiculous, but you have

354
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: a margin of error here, and what you don't want

355
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 2: is him to go out in Game three not one

356
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: hundred percent and then reaggravate I understand it's the other leg,

357
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: it's not the leg he missed forty days with, but

358
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 2: reaggravate that or the other one, and all of a

359
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: sudden you're without him for the rest of the series.

360
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 2: The other issue for Boston is what Jason Tatum are

361
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: we going to get? Because winning the championship with your

362
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 2: alleged best player playing at this level would be wildly unprecedented,

363
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 2: And so we'll talk more about that in a moment,

364
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: but I know there are some pictures and some moments

365
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: from game one that we want to go through.

366
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we showed you the meme of you at

367
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 3: the game already, We've got a couple more for you.

368
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 3: So is the second one? Yeah, what's what's going on there?

369
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 4: Oh?

370
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: There? Oh, these are the Getty images right there. I

371
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: mean at this, I'm just saying, can you please drive

372
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 2: past Sam Hauser? Like, can you please drive past Sam Hauser?

373
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 4: Uh?

374
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: Your mom, I think in that moment, is glancing down

375
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 2: seeing what people on Twitter are saying about her after

376
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 2: the picture with her and Simmons and Riscilla went mini viral.

377
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: All right, what's the next one?

378
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 3: The third one? Here is the Luca You're behind Luca. Oh, oh, that's.

379
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: I'm doing my thing where I lean. Luca hits this

380
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 2: shot where I do like a lean and then bang.

381
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 2: And also that we don't have a yeah, so I'm

382
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 2: hoping he makes it. We also don't we don't have

383
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: a picture of it. And once again, your mom's on Twitter.

384
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 2: But uh, the there is right before Prichard's buzzer beater,

385
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: I'm standing and as soon as he hits it, I

386
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 2: sprint to the tunnel because I don't don't want to

387
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 2: hear like the Boston crowd roar. Like if you watch

388
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 2: the game footage, you can see me stand up, watch it,

389
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: and then book it like I am out of here

390
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: and so yeah, so that was me the game. By

391
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 2: the way, I'm not going to say his last name

392
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 2: because I don't know that he wants me to. But

393
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 2: a huge shout out and appreciation to Kansas City native

394
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: my new friend Chad, who I had met Chad before.

395
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 2: Chad's again, I don't want to give too much of

396
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: his personal information. Very very successful, sharp guy who's done

397
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: very well for his life in a bunch of businesses.

398
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: He's from Kansas City, lived in Cali for some time,

399
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: is back in Kansas City. A year ago, Chad invited

400
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 2: me to a Warriors Kings game, but I couldn't get

401
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 2: out to California. The reason I had those seats was

402
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 2: because on Friday, Chad sent me an email and said,

403
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 2: I have two extra seats for Game two of the finals.

404
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,479
Speaker 2: If you and Demanse want to go, I've got them

405
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 2: for you. And I said, well, Demanse's in California. And

406
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: I even looked at flights like is there a way

407
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: I was trying to see, is there a way for

408
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: you to get to Boston and then get back to

409
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 2: LA in time? At right and it was just not

00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 2: flying for half the time. You'd have to miss Monday

413
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: at work, which I know you don't want to do.

414
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 2: And it will also be weird, Like, hey, guys, no notice,

415
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: but I'm missing Monday because I'm gonna be court side

Speaker 2: at the finals. It just be weird, you know what

417
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: I mean? For you politically at work. I felt like,

418
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: so I didn't even tell you at first, and so

419
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: I emailed them back. I'm like, buddy, I will definitely go.

420
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 2: Demanse can't. He had also mentioned Wilds. I knew Wilds

421
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 2: was not going to spend that much time traveling. I

422
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 2: was like, but you know you can if you want to.

423
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 2: It's they're your tickets whereever you want with him. But

424
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: I know my wife would come, and he was like,

425
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: I'd love for your wife to come, and he was great.

426
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: So shout out to Chad and U. John, the guy

427
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 2: who you saw in those pictures, former big time college

428
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: baseball pitcher and professional pitcher, John who was there with

429
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: us as well, had a great time with those guys.

430
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: It was a hell of a night. All right, let's

431
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: go on to the Celtics.

432
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 3: John, all right, so Jason kids trying to play some

433
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: mining games with the Celtics. He went on the podium

434
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 3: and said that Jalen Brown is the best player at

435
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 3: not Jason Tatum. So obviously Tatum hasn't been playing well

436
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 3: Jalen Brown has. So do you think there's some truth

437
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 3: to what Jason Kidd is saying there?

438
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 2: So here's what I think in a vacuum, Jason Tatum

439
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 2: is better than Jalen Brown. He has more accolades, he

440
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 2: has more natural talent, he's bigger. I understand that. But

441
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: right now, it's not just that Jalen Brown is out

442
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 2: playing Jason Tatum. Drew Holliday's out playing Jason Tatum. You

443
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: could argue Derek whitees out playing Jason Tatum. Chris STAPs

444
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 2: in limited minutes, you could argue is out playing Jason Tatum.

445
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: And I don't want to hear about Honest to god,

446
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear about his rebounds and assists numbers.

447
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 2: I understand they're good. If you're watching these games, demons A,

448
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 2: he looks scared. He said after Game one he was

449
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 2: nervous and then after game two he's like, Oh, I'm

450
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: not gonna let my ego get in the way of

451
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 2: us winning a championship. Other guys are rolling, buddy. You

452
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 2: took twenty two shots. No one else on your team

453
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: took more than fifteen. It wasn't a oh, you're doubling me,

454
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna get other people involved. You couldn't hit shots,

455
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 2: you miss layups. You were one for seven in the

456
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 2: fourth quarter. He is right now Finals history since the merger,

457
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: the worst field goal percentage of anyone ever through eight

458
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 2: career finals games, dating back to the last finals in

459
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: At this point, it's a thing, and it is. It

460
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 2: is a testament to the team that Brad Stevens put together,

461
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: that your best player can be playing like this and

462
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: you're up to zero in the finals. But I don't

463
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: think there is any I don't I don't think there

464
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: is an argument to be made that, oh, wait, Tatum's

465
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: actually been better than people are giving him credit for.

466
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: Tatum's been really bad and the Celtics are winning despite that,

467
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 2: your thoughts as a Celtics than.

468
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: I think it's crazy, But I'm I'm not mad at it. Obviously,

469
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 3: I'm the Celtics fan. I get how it's annoying for

470
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 3: everybody else, but I love the facts and like are

471
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 3: considered the best player can play like Kaka and we

472
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: still win. I think it's I think it's awesome. We

473
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: got five guys that could do it. I hope that

474
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 3: what Tatum is saying is like with his ego, really

475
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: hope that it's not getting to him, But like we're human,

476
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 3: so I feel like it probably is to say I

477
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: think it has to get to him.

478
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: I don't think it's I think it'd be one thing

479
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: if it were a I'm playing well, but one of

480
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: my teammates is playing great and they're getting the credit.

481
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: I think that would be I think that's easier to

482
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: deal with, even if you know what I mean. You all,

483
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: everyone wants to be the star of the movie. I

484
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 2: get that, but that would be a situation where it's like, hey,

485
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, the we're winning, I'm playing fine,

486
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: this guy's playing great, that's awesome. That's not what's happening.

487
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: Drew Holliday is playing great, Jalen Brown's playing very well.

488
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: But the reason Tatum's where he is is because Tatum

489
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: is playing so poorly. And so it's I think that

490
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: would get to anybody. I think that now what he

491
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: has going for him is because they're up to O demans.

492
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: It's not as if I'm costing my team a chanceampionship.

493
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: But let this, Let game three go the MAVs way

494
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: and Tatum play mediocre and then all of a sudden,

495
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 2: see you know what I mean, how he's feeling.

496
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 3: And then on the other's just gonna get ratcheted up, right, Yeah,

497
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 3: the pressure is going on on the other side of it.

498
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 3: He's going to go back to Dallas and they have

499
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: the two games, and if he shines there, I think

500
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 3: that everybody kind of forgets about what's happening in the

501
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 3: first two games.

502
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: He's still the big favorite to win finals. MVP. Yeah, so,

503
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 2: which is crazy to me, But that to me says

504
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: Vegas thinks that if he is just good, not even

505
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 2: great the rest of the way, because he has the

506
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 2: rebound and assists numbers that already look really good, They're like, man,

507
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 2: he's going to finish these finals if he has a

508
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 2: couple good scoring games averaging twenty four to ten and eight,

509
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: and people are gonna say and that people are going

510
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: to revisionist history, be like, Oh, was he really that bad?

511
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: Early on? His efficiency has been terrible? All right? You

512
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 2: want to ask them follow ups here? Yeah?

513
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. Do you think that Brown's contracts has anything to

514
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 3: do with this? Like both for his mindset and Tatum's.

515
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: Well, I think Jalen Brown's something to prove. Jalen Brown

516
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 2: didn't make all NBA. He's always been in trade rumors

517
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 2: and his contract became something of a punchline. So I

518
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: think he's at he has something to prove, but I

519
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: think it's been in a positive way. What else?

520
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 3: And the Finals continue to go this way and Tatum

521
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 3: never gets his moment? How do you think that affects

522
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 3: the team going into next season?

523
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: If they win? I don't think it affects him negatively

524
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: at all. Maybe you get that bonus of Tatum being

525
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 2: a champion, but also having a little chip on his shoulder.

526
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 2: If they lose, that's a whole nother discussion. If the

527
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: Celtics blow a two to zero finals lead, would be

528
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 2: just the sixth team in NBA history to do it,

529
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 2: and do it because Tatum, you know, spirals the whole time.

530
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 2: That has serious US ramifications, But it would be premature

531
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 2: right now, to talk.

532
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 3: About that, like, like, what do they even do with

533
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: the team.

534
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think they do. I think they run

535
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: it back. I don't think they do anything significant. I'm

536
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: just saying how long of a tail that would have

537
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 2: on Jason Tatum the basketball player. Like the Celtics were

538
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 2: up to one in the finals previously, Tatum didn't play

539
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 2: well and they lost. But you were playing the Warriors

540
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 2: with Steph Curry. You were twenty four and twenty five

541
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: Tatum and Brown, and so you know, it's like, ah,

542
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 2: you weren't really supposed to win, even though they kind

543
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: of were once they were up to one. This would

544
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 2: be a different story entirely. What else?

545
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 3: Uh, Yeah, Brad Stevens keeps getting all the credit for

546
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 3: the Celtics team. What about Danny Ainge. Danny Ainge and

547
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 3: how much credit does he deserve?

548
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: Well, listen, the Tatum and Brown, the KG piercetrade that

549
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: Danny Ainge pulled off, and that netted you Tatum and Brown.

550
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: Of course he gets credit for that. But Brad Stevens

551
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 2: put the rest of this team together, and and I

552
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 2: I think, hold on, let me check.

553
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 3: Derek wait, I could say they're both equally important at

554
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 3: this point.

555
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 2: Like the second half of sure, and so Derek White

556
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 2: was traded on February tenth, twenty twenty twenty two. I

557
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 2: think that was Brad Stevens. Let me check to make sure.

558
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: So February of twenty two is when he was traded.

559
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 2: When did he take? Yeah, so Brad, that was so

560
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 2: Brad Stevens, was Drew hollow was Drew It was Derek White.

561
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: Obviously the Drew Holliday trade, obviously the Christaps trade. Those

562
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: are all Brad Stevens. So Brad Stevens I think gets

563
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 2: Brad Stevens, by the way, being a great college coach,

564
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 2: being an excellent NBA coach, and seamlessly transitioning to the

565
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 2: front office and crushing it. Well, I mean, what a

566
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: run by that guy. There's no no denying it all

567
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: right now?

568
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 3: With that, like, I don't know, is there a chance

569
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 3: that he ever becomes like a commissioner? Oh?

570
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 2: Wow, I'd never even thought of that. I guess maybe, yeah,

571
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not that used to be. How commissioners

572
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: got hired a lot across leagues came from within a

573
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 2: team and then ascended to the league office. These days,

574
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 2: it seems to be more like league office lifers that

575
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 2: move up. But yeah, maybe I mean the theo Epstein

576
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: who helped build the Red build the Red Sox and

577
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 2: helped build the Cubs and now kind of does bigger

578
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: picture stuff. He was, you know, Steve Alhway's got it.

579
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 2: Seems to have the brain for almost everything. All right,

580
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: next classic category one by me? Next go ahead.

581
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 3: So the Lakers are still on the on the hunt

582
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 3: for their head coach after Dan Hurley turned down. There

583
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 3: was it six year's seventy million that would have made

584
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 3: him the sixth highest paid coach according to WOJ. So

585
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 3: are you excited for JJ Reddick to become the lakers

586
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 3: new head coach?

587
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 4: No?

588
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 2: But I mean I saw this coming, Guys. I don't

589
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: want to pat myself on the back. But on this

590
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 2: show on Thursday, I said I didn't buy Hurley. On

591
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 2: TV on Thursday said I didn't buy Hurley. On TV Friday,

592
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 2: when the whole world was measuring drapes for Danny Hurley's

593
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 2: Lakers office, I said, I didn't buy it. The Lakers

594
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 2: are not well run flatly and now they have made

595
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: in the since in the last five years, they've had

596
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 2: multiple coaching changes, They have made two very different mistakes

597
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 2: now multiple times with two of them. First one was

598
00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 2: publicly go after Tyloo after firing Luke Walton want Tylo,

599
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 2: lowball him, don't get him, settle on Vogel, and then

600
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 2: you have the embarrassment of the entire world knowing you're

601
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers and you didn't get your first choice.

602
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 2: Whoever you hire is not your first choice. That is

603
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 2: now going to happen again. Another mistake. After they fired Vogel,

604
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: Rob Bolinka did not hold a press conference. So the

605
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 2: next time Rob Bolinka spoke to the media was when

606
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 2: they were they the press conference for Darvin Ham. And

607
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: guess what that press conference turned into relitigating firing Vogel.

608
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 2: So you have Darvin Ham sitting there awkwardly while Rob

609
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 2: Bolinka's answering questions he should have answered a month prior.

610
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: What happened this time they fired Ham, never addressed it

611
00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 2: to the media, and now whomever they hire, that press

612
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 2: conference is going to be about what happened with Ham

613
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 2: because you never dealt with that, and what happened with

614
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 2: Hurley because you're publicly missed on that. And so there

615
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 2: are two options as to why Dan Hurley is not

616
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: the Lakers coach. Option one, they publicly targeted a guy,

617
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: leaked it, let wog know, let everyone know, uh, made

618
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 2: a big story of it, and then they were unable

619
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 2: to land their candidate, either out of cheapness or incompetence.

620
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 2: That's option one. Option two is this, they never expected

621
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 2: to hire Danny Hurley, but they wanted the world to know,

622
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 2: or at least believe, Oh, we're not settling just for

623
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 2: you know, JJ Reddick. We're going after the best and

624
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 2: the brightest, and oh darn, what do you expect? Nothing

625
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: we could do and it was pr Both of those

626
00:37:56,040 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 2: options suck. Both of those options screamed incompetence. And one

627
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 2: of my favorite scenes for one of my favorite movies ever,

628
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 2: Ace Rothstein saying to the guy in casino after somebody

629
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 2: hits three jackpots in a row, which there was a scam.

630
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 2: Either either you were you're too incompetent to know you're

631
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 2: being scammed, or you're in on the scam. Either way

632
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: you gotta go. Either you really wanted Danny Hurley and

633
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 2: you couldn't land him, or this was all a pr

634
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,439
Speaker 2: ruse that you thought would work in your favor because

635
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: you couldn't game out. We're gonna look either super cheap

636
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 2: or super incompetent, and you thought this was gonna be

637
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 2: a pr win either way. Someone tell me what Rob

638
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 2: the Lincoln, the Lakers front office has done in a

639
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 2: decade to show you they know what they're doing. Well, Nick,

640
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 2: they won a championship. If not for the fact that

641
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 2: Lebron James graced your organization with a free agency decision

642
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: six years ago, you're in the wilderness for a decade

643
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 2: as the Lakers. They're a poorly run mom and pop operation,

644
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: that's what they are. And so I and the fact

645
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 2: if this was all just Bobby Hurley, I'm sorry, that's

646
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 2: his dad, Dan Hurley, leveraging the Lakers through Adrian wodron Erowski,

647
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 2: who literally wrote a book on Dan Hurley's father that

648
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 2: is in the camera shot of all of his ESPN appearances,

649
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 2: the Miracle at Saint Anthony or whatever it was. And

650
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 2: you couldn't see this coming from a mile away. I

651
00:39:54,680 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 2: saw it coming six days ago on this podcast. So

652
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're gonna do. I honestly don't

653
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: probably end up settling on JJ, but I really hope

654
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 2: Lebron leaves Man. And here's the other thing. They fired

655
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: Darvinham six weeks ago, Buddy, they still don't have a coach.

656
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 2: The draft is in two weeks, free agency opens in

657
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 2: three weeks. They don't have a coach. It's remarkable, It's

658
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 2: absolutely remarkable. Go ahead, what'd you want to say?

659
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 3: Do you think this is anything more than a leverage

660
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 3: play by Hurley? Or as you like, there's that side

661
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 3: of it, or as you kind of extension.

662
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 2: Here's what I know. Somehow the Lakers got publicly associated

663
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: with Jason Kidd, even though he has a better job

664
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 2: for a better organization, and that ended with Kid getting

665
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: a rais and an extension. Somehow, the Lakers got publicly

666
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 2: associated with Tylu even though he has a higher paying

667
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 2: job for the richest owner in sports, and that ended

668
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 2: with Tylu getting an extension and a raise. Somehow he

669
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 2: got the Lakers got associated with Dan Hurley, and that

670
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 2: ended with Dan Hurley getting a raised in an extension.

671
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 2: People can draw whatever conclusions they want. Everyone thinks that

672
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark discourse is uncomfortable. Now give it like another

673
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 2: two days. We'll discuss why plus do a little tennis

674
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 2: corner with my Guy Alcarez. Next, What's Right? Welcome back

675
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 2: in What's Right? With Nick Right? This is so perfect.

676
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 2: By the way, Christian McCaffrey's going to be on the

677
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 2: cover of Madden. Good for him. I obviously have a

678
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 2: different candidate that I think would have made.

679
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 3: A little more ago three years ago.

680
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 2: Mahomes, What about Travis Kelcey, I don't know, maybe the

681
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: most famous football player, who's the greatest tight end ever.

682
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. Probably some more units. Guys, listen to

683
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 2: EA Sports. I'm not telling you I'll do your business.

684
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 2: But if you want to sell units to people who

685
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 2: will never even open the game, maybe throw Travis kels

686
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 2: just an idea, just thought it could be a good

687
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 2: marketing idea. Maybe throw Travis kelce on the cover. It's

688
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 2: just listen. I'm not I'm not here to tell you

689
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 2: guys how to do your business. Uh, but go ahead

690
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 2: and put Christian McCaffrey on there. That's fine. Rich so

691
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 2: many has this is Gabe here today? I want Gabe's

692
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 2: live reaction if he's here today. No, no Gabe today,

693
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 2: that's fine. Gabees are resident Jets fan. Aaron Rodgers not

694
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 2: attending Mini camp and it is not an excused absence,

695
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 2: therefore he's subject to being fined. Sola said Rogers had

696
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 2: a previous engagement, an event that is quote important to

697
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: him end quote. This is no Ta's This isn't the

698
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 2: optional part of the off season. This is the Jets

699
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 2: mandatory mini camp and Aaron Rodgers something you know had

700
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 2: are not something came up, not a family emergency which

701
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 2: any could happen to anybody. Oh man, I'm double booked.

702
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 2: The old I'm double booked. What am I gonna? I got?

703
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 2: I was double booked. Uh, you know the A few

704
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 2: weeks ago, I had a I had a charity event

705
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 2: I needed to do, and I needed to go to

706
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 2: the premiere of the Black Twitter uh documentary that my

707
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 2: friend Princess Penny created. Shout out to Prentice, great guy,

708
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 2: creator of Insecure, created the Black Twitter documentary on Hulu.

709
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 2: And I was sick to my stomach that I was

710
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 2: double booked, and I had to reach out to Prentice

711
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 2: and say, I can't be there. My wife can go.

712
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 2: You know, she was gonna go anyway. She's she can

713
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 2: go and bring and bring someone kind of you know,

714
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 2: represent on our behalf because I'm committed to a charity

715
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 2: event that I you know, I had to, and Prentice

716
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 2: understood because he's a great guy. That sometimes you're double

717
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 2: booked and it forces you to choose either what's most

718
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 2: important or where you're most needed. Aaron Rodgers is double

719
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 2: booked with the team that pays him forty million to

720
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: lead them to a super Bowl, that he's played three

721
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 2: snaps of NFL football for their mandate first mandatory event

722
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: of the off season, and something else, and thus something

723
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 2: else took priority. Okay, I mean, okay, do what you

724
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 2: want with that information. But that is what it is.

725
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 3: Could it could be something it's like super important. I

726
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 3: wonder if it'll ever come out what it is.

727
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 2: But uh, here's the thing. I would be much more

728
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 2: careful with how I discussed this if it were an

729
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 2: unexplained absence, because then you don't know if you know

730
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 2: someone's in a hospital something, you know what I mean,

731
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 2: don't you know?

732
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 3: Because the explanation is it's something that's very important to me.

733
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 2: Had a Robert Salas said, quote, Rogers had a previous

734
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 2: engagement an event that is important to him. I mean,

735
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: what more do I need to know? What more do

736
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 2: I need to know? It's not an excused apps. So

737
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 2: it's not birth of a child. It's not last second

738
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:10,919
Speaker 2: came up, so an emergency. It's June eleventh. I knew

739
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 2: I had something going on. I shouldn't have committed to that.

740
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 2: Oh what else did you have going on?

741
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 3: Oh?

742
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 2: Mandatory mini camp for the team. I'm the quarterback of that.

743
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 2: I'm talking about how I'm gonna be the leader. Okay,

744
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: all right, cool, let's see how this works out, all right, Demonse,

745
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 2: Let's talk Caitlyn Clark.

746
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, the the Olympic roster was released and there

747
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 3: was one notable emission in there, and that is Caitlyn Clark.

748
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 3: She says that she's using the snub as motivation. And

749
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 3: my question to you is, if you were in charge

750
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 3: of Team of USA, would you put Caitlyn Clark on

751
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 3: the team.

752
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 2: Maybe? So, I don't think this is simple, Mike, can

753
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 2: I Can I guess your take Demonse real quick before

754
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 2: I I before we do it, and I guess yours.

755
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 3: And you tell me if I'm right on my take

756
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 3: on like if she like if I would put her

757
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 3: on the team. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

758
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: I think your take is she's not yet one of

759
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 2: the twelve best players. She's gonna have plenty of Olympics

760
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 2: in the future. She would be taking a roster spot

761
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 2: from someone else, and being famous doesn't mean you are

762
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 2: deserved Olympian yet. So this is not a controversy, is that,

763
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,919
Speaker 2: am I? I should have just let you give your take. Really,

764
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I wanted to see correctly. Oh okay, but.

765
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was, it was.

766
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 4: It was.

767
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 3: It's not super far from that, but but yeah, I mean,

768
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 3: I think I would have put her on the team.

769
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 3: You would of her, wouldn't I would have put her

770
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 3: on the team.

771
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 4: I mean.

772
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 3: But that's let me be honest. I'm not super in

773
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 3: tune with all that. I know a few of NBA

774
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 3: stars that are that are up there. I don't know

775
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 3: eleven girls that are better than her yep at the moment.

776
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 3: But that's just that's just me.

777
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 2: That's because you're not locked into the league, which is

778
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 2: totally fine. So, but you're you're so I so I

779
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 2: just guessed wrong about where you were leaning you were

780
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,919
Speaker 2: leaning of. It's not like she's a bad player. She's

781
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: obviously a really good player, and she would bring eyeballs

782
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 2: to it. Here's the here's here's why. Let me back up.

783
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 2: Here's why it's going to get ugly. If it's not

784
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 2: already ugly, it's going to get ugly because this is

785
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 2: about to jump into the worst parts of American politics

786
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 2: there are. Because unfortunately, some of our most craven politicians

787
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 2: have seized on this as a white grievance, as all

788
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 2: this poor white girl being picked on in this black league,

789
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 2: and Nikki Haley, who might be the next Vice president

790
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 2: of the United States, tweeted this. Let me get this straight.

791
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 2: No player on the Olympic team has scored more three

792
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 2: pointers this year in the WNBA than Caitlin Clark. Tell

793
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 2: me you don't know anything about sports, without telling me

794
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 2: you don't know anything about sports, rather than saying scored

795
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 2: more three pointers. Only one woman on the Olympic team

796
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 2: has more assists than Clark, and the US is not

797
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 2: gonna include her on the Olympic team. I think the

798
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 2: Olympic selection committee should be asked, do we want the

799
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 2: best team to represent our country or not? Okay, if

800
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: it is purely have the best team, she doesn't deserve

801
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 2: to be there. However, there is a legitimate argument that

802
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 2: that is not what the Olympic team is actually because

803
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 2: if it's purely to have the best team, Diana Tarazzi's

804
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 2: not one of the twelve best players now. Diana doing

805
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 2: what she's doing at forty two is remarkable. She might

806
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,760
Speaker 2: be the greatest player ever. And much like Caitlin her numbers.

807
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 2: She averages the exact same number of points, the exact

808
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 2: same number of rebounds, on the exact same field goal

809
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:20,720
Speaker 2: percentage as Caitlin. Now, she's one assist and one turnover

810
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 2: a game and Caitlyn is six assists and five turnovers

811
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 2: a game. So call that almost a wash, But statistically

812
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 2: they're almost identical. Diana got a legacy spot and leadership

813
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 2: as well. I'm fine with it, just like I would

814
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 2: have been fine with them saying Caitlin's super famous and

815
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 2: she's a good player, let's put her on there. I'm

816
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 2: also fine with them saying we don't want to take

817
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 2: a spot from someone else. I actually think there is

818
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 2: a totally reasonable argument on both sides of this. I

819
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 2: also think this whole oh my god, squandered opportunity, think

820
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 2: of all the eyeballs that would have been there, is

821
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 2: miss guided because she wouldn't have been playing that much.

822
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 2: And if folks are only watching to watch Caitlyn. If

823
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 2: they turn on the game and Caitlyn isn't starting and

824
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 2: isn't the first sub off the bench, and we go

825
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 2: the whole first quarter and she doesn't play, they're turning

826
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 2: it off anyway. So I think it would have had

827
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 2: more media coverage, But there's a push and a pull

828
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 2: to that media coverage. That media coverage would have been

829
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 2: Caitlyn almost exclusive. So I don't think it's simple. I

830
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 2: actually think this one's complicated. I also think that the

831
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 2: Christine Brennan article where a couple people from USA Basketball

832
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 2: said that one of the reasons she's not on the

833
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 2: team is because they didn't want to deal with the

834
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 2: blowback from her millions of fans being pissed she's not

835
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 2: playing more is one of the most ridiculous rationales I've

836
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,760
Speaker 2: ever heard. That is once again folks pretending like Twitter

837
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:06,480
Speaker 2: is real life. These the Olympics are in Paris. What

838
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 2: the hell do you care about what someone tweets from Indiana?

839
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 2: Like you're like, oh, we don't want to deal with it.

840
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 2: What are you dealing with your mentions? Like, honestly, do

841
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 2: you think folks today, Caitlin Clark fans are gonna fly

842
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 2: to Paris in August and cause upheaval the Olympic Games

843
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 2: because she's not getting run. Just a dumb argument, like

844
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 2: what are we talking about? Everyone is scared of mean tweets,

845
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 2: so that was I thought that was foolish. I also

846
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:42,359
Speaker 2: think anyone and this is where I'm going to make

847
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 2: all of my colleagues mad, because colleagues I greatly respect

848
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:54,120
Speaker 2: are diametrically opposed on this issue, and I think they're

849
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 2: both crazy. I think that if you get on TV

850
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 2: and say it is absurd to even consider putting her

851
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 2: on the team, here are the twenty women who are

852
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 2: better than her. It is simply about the best twelve

853
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 2: person roster and this shouldn't even be a debate. I

854
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 2: think that is being a little disingenuous, especially with Diana's inclusion,

855
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 2: and especially because we've won the gold seven Olympics in

856
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 2: a row. It would be twelve in a row. But

857
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 2: there was one year in ninety two that the Soviet

858
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 2: Union fake reformed and they had like eleven countries represented

859
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 2: on one team and they beat us, or they won

860
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 2: the gold. We win every year by twenty points. We

861
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 2: weren't gonna risk the gold by having the league's twenty

862
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 2: third best player instead of the twelve best player. So

863
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 2: that's first of all. I also think that if you

864
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 2: go on TV and say, oh my god, what an

865
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 2: idiotic decision to put her on the team, what a

866
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 2: massively missed opportunity, squandered attention, I think you're being a

867
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 2: little disingenuous on how much attention it would it would Garner,

868
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:17,800
Speaker 2: and that there are real consequences of giving a roster

869
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 2: spot to someone and taking it away from someone else.

870
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 2: So I actually think this is nuanced. Unfortunately, here's my prediction.

871
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 2: At a White House press conference, probably the doucy guy

872
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 2: from Fox News, but maybe someone else is going to

873
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 2: ask the White House spokesperson, does the President have a

874
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 2: comment on Caitlyn Clark. They're going to say no. And

875
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 2: then in the next thirty days, Caitlin Clark's name is

876
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,280
Speaker 2: going to be an applause line at a Donald Trump rally.

877
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,040
Speaker 2: And this young lady didn't ask for that, and she

878
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 2: didn't deserve it. But there is a segment of a

879
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 2: and I am not saying this about Caitlin Clark fans,

880
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 2: I promise you I am not. But there is a

881
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 2: segment of America that if there is an opportunity to

882
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 2: take ostensibly the white athlete side against the big, mean,

883
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 2: bullying black athletes, they will seize to that like moths

884
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 2: to a flame. And there are craven, uh disingenuous politicians

885
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 2: that are going to use her as a cudgel in

886
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 2: our never ending culture war. And I think this Caitlin

887
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:49,720
Speaker 2: Clerk conversation is just going to get uglier and uglier.

888
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 2: I feel badly for Caitlin. I feel badly for the

889
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 2: women that have helped build the WNBA that are seeing

890
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 2: this what could be a great moment consistently hijacked. And

891
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 2: I just think it's gonna get worse and worse. And

892
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 2: by the way, she's an alternate, she's one of the

893
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 2: first alternates. And if she gets picked and a goon

894
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 2: Ba Wale from the Dallas Wings does not, when she's

895
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 2: averaging twenty six, five and six, and you know it

896
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 2: has been one of the best players in the whole

897
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 2: league this year, it's gonna get even worse. Man, So

898
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 2: I am pessimistic about our Caitlyn Clark conversations moving forward.

899
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 2: Uh So I'm on the record on all of it.

900
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 2: We'll see how it turns out one sidebar thing. This

901
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 2: is actually good for Caitlin the basketball player. A month off,

902
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 2: A month off, not in the spotlight the team, if

903
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 2: you I don't know, if you guys notice last week

904
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 2: when I saw them out of their brutal schedule, they

905
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 2: then had four days off and she dropped a thirty

906
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 2: piece in her next game. She played poorly this weekend,

907
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,240
Speaker 2: but they have no more back to backs, the schedule

908
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 2: softens up massively and she will end up being more fresh,

909
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 2: more rested, and play well at the end of the year.

910
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 2: And I think the fever to twelve to the fevers

911
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 2: records terrible. But twelve team league and eight of them

912
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 2: make the playoffs, so you don't have to have a

913
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 2: great record to make the playoffs. I think they could

914
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,440
Speaker 2: squeeze into the playoffs. I also didn't like her coach yesterday,

915
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 2: coming out yesterday saying our team doesn't try hard enough.

916
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 2: Like that, whenever the coach is like, can't coach effort?

917
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 2: A coach knows their seats getting a little hot. All right,

918
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 2: let's talk tennis for a moment, demanse.

919
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. So on Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Alexander Zverev to

920
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 3: win the French Open. At twenty one, Alcarez became the

921
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 3: youngest player to win a Grand Slam on all three surfaces.

922
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 2: What do the dog gets, demanse? What are the three s?

926
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 2: Good job? Is he tennis car corner? You thought it

927
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 2: wasn't gonna get anything in there? What are the four majors?

928
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 2: Do you know? What are the four majors?

929
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 3: Major? What are they called? French Open? Yes, the Grand Slam.

930
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 2: No, that's one of the Grand Slams. They're all four.

931
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 2: There are four Grand Slams.

Speaker 3: The French Open, the US Open, yep.

00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 2: And one other location, yes, and the last one, the

934
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 2: one where we talk about strawberries and cream and we

935
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 2: use accents and we talk about the All England.

936

Speaker 3: British Open, and it's on grass, British British Open, wimbled that's.

938
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 2: in there.

939
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 3: Go ahead, as you were with the all getting bounced

940
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 3: early and Yokovic getting hurt was the Was this the

941
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:10,439
Speaker 3: official passing of the torch?

942
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 2: Yes, we man there was this time when Federer. I mean,

943
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 2: this is where I wrote, going from federal at all,

944
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 2: Djokovic right in Nicolosaker as truly sublime. What a brilliant

945
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 2: talent this kid is. I was watching this live on

946
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 2: my computer on the train to Boston. I mean, he's

947
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:32,439
Speaker 2: unbelievable and at twenty one years old, doing what he's

948
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 2: doing and already having this resume is I mean, just

949
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think unprecedented is a fair word,

950
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 2: but he's bordering up against unprecedented. And so in twenty

951
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 2: twenty two he won the US Open. I was there

952
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 2: for the no, I was there for to see him

953
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,959
Speaker 2: losing the semis the next year. So once he really

954
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 2: got rolling was the US Open in twenty Okay, here's

955
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 2: what he did has done since then. Didn't play in

956
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 2: the Australian Open in twenty twenty three, then made the

957
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 2: semis of the French last year, won Wimbledon last year

958
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 2: when the semis of the U or sorry, lost in

959
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 2: the semis of the US Open last year. I was

960
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 2: at that the Australian this year made it to the

961
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 2: quarters and then he won the French. So in his

962
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 2: last six majors he has won three, lost in the

963
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 2: semis twice and lost in the quarters once. He's gotta

964
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 2: be the favorite at Wimbledon. He's, well, he's gonna be

965
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 2: the favorite and everything. I'm gonna get to watch him

966
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 2: at the US Open this year. I can't wait.

967
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 4: And so he is.

968
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 2: He's on one hell of a pace man and he

969
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 2: has a lot of youngest ever records and this last

970
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 2: one is the most notable win a Grand Slam on

971
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 2: the three different services. It's on believable. All right, demanse Uh,

972
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 2: let's move on to the last topic and then we'll

973
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 2: get in to our f one minute.

974
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Lamar Jackson was not a huge fan of

975
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:13,439
Speaker 3: you leaving him out of the top five.

976
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 2: You tweeted tu and he said, yeah, we can show you.

977
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 2: You can show you the first tweet.

978
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 3: Uh.

979
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 2: He said, I don't even know. Uh, I don't even

980
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 2: know buddy. Or what what did you do to buddy?

981
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 2: The guy asked, said, I don't even know you. I

982
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 2: don't even know dude. I mean his thing. He's been

983
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 2: on the TV show maybe he didn't recognize me. I

984
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 2: don't know, but that wasn't really the problem tweet. The

985
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 2: problem tweet was then, you know, he sent out a

986
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 2: picture of some type of monkey that I don't know

987
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 2: what type of monkey it is, but it's the monkey

988
01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 2: with the real long nose, and it's about me. So

989
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 2: such his life. I root for Lamar. I I'm just

990
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 2: honest that he's not one of the five quarterbacks that

991
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 2: I could pick if I were starting a team. He's not.

992
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:06,919
Speaker 2: He's not one of them. Here is the best part

993
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 2: of It's a what probiscus monkeys? Proboscis? Okay, whatever it is.

994
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 2: That's what he tweeted a picture of that. Here is

995
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 2: what I love about this so much. The clip that

996
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 2: went viral of me doing my top five mid so

997
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 2: it's chopped up and midway through that discussion of top

998
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 2: five quarterbacks, somehow our sunglasses conversation came up and Demanse

999
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 2: was handed pit vipers, those silly like baseball player sunglasses.

1000
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 2: So in this clip that has now been viewed millions

1001
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 2: of times, Demanse and I are talking quarterbacks. I'm doing

1002
01:02:55,760 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 2: my ranking. Demanse pushes back. I respond, Demanse then pushes

1003
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 2: back again, and that third time it goes to Demanse

1004
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 2: without explanation, totally straight faced. He's wearing these sunglasses, and

1005
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 2: it just is such a hilarious situation where we're just

1006
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 2: doing quarterback rankings and then for no reason mid segment,

1007
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 2: it looks like Demanse put on a pair of the

1008
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 2: world's worse sunglasses, and I just love it. Brings me

1009
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 2: so much joy to Monse. Knowing that Lamar Jackson was

1010
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 2: sitting at his phone one day and saw a clip

1011
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:39,360
Speaker 2: involving you where you're all of a sudden wearing those sunglasses,

1012
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 2: it just legitimately makes me happy.

1013
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 3: We don't mention anything about it, and it is like

1014
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 3: straight on pace and we're still talking exactly.

1015
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 2: Because it's chopped up. There's no acknowledgment, there's no anything.

1016
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 2: It's just all of a sudden, you go from looking

1017
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 2: normal to wearing these sunglasses. Makes me so happy. We

1018
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 2: had an F one race this weekend, which means we

1019
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 2: have our first ever F one recap minute with Sierra Fedel.

1020
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 2: That's next plus your questions What's right? All right? Welcome

1021
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 2: back in What's Right with Nick Wright. So as we

1022
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 2: are doing now our F one correspondent Sierra Fidel. If

1023
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 2: there is a race that weekend, she will give us

1024
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 2: a preview on Thursday and then a recap on Tuesday.

1025
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 2: I tried to watch the race from my hotel room

1026
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 2: in Boston. I was not able to do it. It

1027
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 2: wasn't on any of the channels that we had in Boston.

1028
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,840
Speaker 2: Before I went to the game, I did. I do

1029
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 2: know Max verststap in one. I also know that Sierra's

1030
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 2: notes from the last time were again not to be

1031
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 2: afraid to show personality, to give real predictions. I don't

1032
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 2: know how much predictions will work in a recap, and

1033
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 2: I told her that last time her background was a

1034
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 2: little too empty. I have not seen this yet. We

1035
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 2: will see it. I'm told it's about two and a

1036
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 2: half minutes long, a real race recap. Oh, I'm now

1037
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 2: seeing a preview.

1038
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 4: Oh.

1039
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 2: Not only had she had a plan to the background,

1040
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 2: there's a little race car behind her. Now that's smart.

1041
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 4: I like that.

1042
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 2: Here is our F one minute with Sierra Fidel.

1043
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 4: Hey ya, it's Tuesday, so that makes his time for

1044
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 4: a race recap with me. Sierra Fidel, And let me

1045
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 4: tell you the last Grand Prix that just took place

1046
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 4: in Montreal, Canada, was probably the most exciting race of

1047
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 4: the entire Fuen season thus far. Two things that happened

1048
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 4: that nobody expected. Number one are double for our DNF Now,

1049
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 4: Charles the Clerk has finished in the top four for

1050
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 4: the entire F one season thus far, so the fact

1051
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 4: that he didn't finish this weekend at all is a

1052
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 4: little bit upsetting, and Carlos signs who had faith in

1053
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 4: oh no, So that everybody's predictions off, including mine. Number two,

1054
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 4: we have both Mercedes and the top four finishers this weekend,

1055
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 4: which nobody going into the weekend pre qualifying, nobody would

1056
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 4: have expected that. Now, the disappointment in the Ferrari garage,

1057
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 4: as well as the disappointment for a Ferrari fans, did

1058
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:27,240
Speaker 4: not only start on Sunday. They finished Q two and qualifying,

1059
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 4: which means they started in eleventh and twelfth on the grid.

1060
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 4: Now on Sunday we have the Grand Prix, but before

1061
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 4: the Grand Prix we have qualifying which sets the grid

1062
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 4: up for the actual race on Sunday, So we have

1063
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 4: three sessions of qualifying kind of in a knockout format

1064
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 4: where the top five slowest drivers are eliminated essentially, so

1065
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 4: their lap times are recorded, sets the grid sets the

1066
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 4: stage for the race on Sunday, so the fastest pat

1067
01:06:56,200 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 4: time is rewarded with pole position. This weekend, George Russell

1068
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 4: got old position which enabled him to start in the

1069
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 4: very front in the Grand Prix on Sunday. With that explained,

1070
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 4: Ferrari started eleven and twelve on the grid, meaning they

1071
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 4: got knocked out in Q two. Everybody was disappointed. Everybody

1072
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 4: had the head in the hands. Everybody was confused as

1073
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 4: to why they were performing this badly. Considering Charles m

1074
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 4: clerk just won his home race in Monaco last weekend,

1075
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 4: we were all just a little shocked. But the disappointment

1076
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 4: didn't just start there, but our actual top program pre

1077
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:36,480
Speaker 4: finishers this weekend, we're number one Extra Sappened, two Lando Norris,

1078
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 4: three George Russell and four Lewis Hamilton. Let me just

1079
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 4: say this matters. Appen may have won this race, but

1080
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 4: it's starting to become more difficult because these teams are

1081
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 4: definitely stepping up. As the twenty twenty four Formula One

1082
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 4: season continues to progress, it's becoming more and more competitive

1083
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 4: and that's what we want to see and it makes

1084
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 4: the coming races more trying to watch. So I hope

1085
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 4: you guys tune in. That's it for other race recap

1086
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 4: in Montreal, Canada. I'll see you next time.

1087
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,439
Speaker 2: All right, great work, Sierras So DEMONSI here's what suck

1088
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 2: out to me. Sierra gave a prediction before the race

1089
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:18,640
Speaker 2: of her top four, and then she's spent a good

1090
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 2: deal of her race recap explaining why that prediction went awry.

1091
01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 2: This is this is a common theme, especially and if

1092
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 2: you're new to sports media, but even if you're a

1093
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 2: veteran in sports media, it's sometimes less about to you

1094
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 2: what actually happened and more about why you didn't get

1095
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 2: it exactly right. So we heard a lot about why's

1096
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 2: le clerk and sayings, my guy, didn't you know what

1097
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 2: went wrong for them? And less about you know, how

1098
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 2: Lewis Hamilton or whomever did what they did. I also

1099
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 2: would like to dive into further why it's tightening up

1100
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 2: for Verstappen, because it seems like Verstappen wins every race. Now.

1101
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 2: I don't know clearly enough about this stuff to know.

1102
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 2: I would think he has like an insurmountable lead, but

1103
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 2: maybe he doesn't. But there was Sierra with the f

1104
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 2: one minute our first race recap. I wish I could

1105
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 2: have watched it, hey the or watched the actual race.

1106
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:14,680
Speaker 2: But I'm I'm I'm dipping my toe into the f

1107
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 2: one waters thanks to our you know, my goddaughter, your godsister,

1108
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 2: Sierra Fidel, go ahead, demant.

1109
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:23,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I was just perplex on now too.

1110
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 3: Ferraris didn't finish.

1111
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 2: Yes, was there? That's the other thing, Sierra, since you're

1112
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:34,759
Speaker 2: watching this, uh one other just live note? Did they crash?

1113
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:35,600
Speaker 4: Like?

1114
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 2: Is that the reason you don't finish? You gotta get

1115
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 2: in mind if I don't know what's happened, Like, did

1116
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:42,719
Speaker 2: they why didn't they finish? I assume there was a crash.

1117
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 2: That would be the only reason I don't finish, But

1118
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:48,759
Speaker 2: I don't know. Uh and so the so the raps

1119
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 2: Downing says a single Ferrari DNF is crazy, but a

1120
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 2: double Ferrari DNF is unheard of.

1121
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

1122
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 2: Player one fast cars in Canada doesn't get more exciting.

1123
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:04,320
Speaker 2: Uh And Scott Frazier says Montreal brings the best out

1124
01:10:04,360 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 2: of everyone. Yeah, and dnf is did not finish that

1125
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:09,320
Speaker 2: I knew that that one I was able to deduce,

1126
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 2: why can't Nick by Sierra Mike? Does he require two

1127
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 2: hundred thousand subcount for the mic purchase? Listen, we are

1128
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 2: doing this in steps. Not only is Sierra at some

1129
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 2: point soon going to have a mic, she is also

1130
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 2: going to have a uniform, if you will. But we

1131
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 2: just wait and see as it comes. And they're also

1132
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 2: telling me to tell you guys like rate and subscribe

1133
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:36,600
Speaker 2: to the channel. All right, Deman s let's ask a

1134
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 2: couple questions. Then I have to get to work.

1135
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 3: Okay, then that was a little insulting, but Scott Murphy.

1136
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 2: Explain that did not finish. Yeah, yeah, I mean that

1137
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 2: one maybe thought the audience didn't know, but I could

1138
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 2: have figured that out. But go ahead.

1139
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 3: Scott Murphy asked if every team added their goat at

1140
01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:00,560
Speaker 3: his peak to their current roster at the beginning of

1141
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 3: the season, what two teams would have met in the finals?

1142
01:11:05,880 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 2: Well, so that's trick, Like, does does the Calves adding

1143
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 2: peak Lebron? Uh take current Lebron off the Lakers? Like that?

1144
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? That's a real question because

1145
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 2: if the current Lakers got to add peak Kareem, Oh,

1146
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:32,759
Speaker 2: you know what the Calves add Peak No, so here's

1147
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 2: the Or do the Bucks get to add Peakluel Sinder

1148
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 2: because no one's beating that Giannis and and peak Kareem

1149
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 2: slash Like. I don't that that's a great question, but

1150
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 2: it also I I I almost need to investigate more

1151
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:54,960
Speaker 2: who loses who? Like, do the Lakers get to keep

1152
01:11:55,280 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 2: current Lebron and just add you know, peak Kareem or

1153
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:04,640
Speaker 2: do they lose current Lebron because he's moved over to

1154
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 2: the to the Calves to be peak Lebron. I'm not sure.

1155
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 2: All right, next makes sense?

1156
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 3: Nick Wright Muse asked, what are the chances we see

1157
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 3: you in Dallas with Mahomes for Game three or four?

1158
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 4: Uh?

1159
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 2: Well, no, zero percent. I'm in Dallas for Game three.

1160
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 2: I would say it's possible I'm in Dallas for Game four.

1161
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 2: Uh listen, I don't wanna. I wouldn't be in. I'm

1162
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 2: not gonna invite myself along with you know, it'd be

1163
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 2: Patrick's plus one. But if I were in Dallas for

1164
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 2: Game four, then i'd see Patrick. But there's no chance

1165
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 2: I'm there for game three. There's a slight chance I'm

1166
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:45,519
Speaker 2: there for Game four. Let's see how game three goes first.

1167
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 2: All right, go ahead, last one.

1168
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 3: Demansey producers ask, if you had to choose between playing

1169
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:54,679
Speaker 3: a young Snape or a young Count Dooku and movie

1170
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 3: and a movie slash TV show, which role would you choose?

1171
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, well so, I mean so that's oh, that's Snape.

1172
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 3: Oh uh, I'm just saying you look so much like

1173
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 3: the other guys.

1174
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,640
Speaker 2: I'd pick Count Dooku since he's based on me, and

1175
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,840
Speaker 2: since Disney owes me millions of dollars of royalties. All right,

Speaker 2: fun show, I gotta go to work. I'll see you
