<v Speaker 2>for one guy. At all, these Celtic fans, the Boston

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 2>accents gave me a bit of a hard time, like, hey, Nick,

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 2>One guy confronted me in the second bar we were

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 2>at after the game. It was like and I'm not

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna try to do an accent and was like, what's it?

0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 2>Feel like to be a sellout, and I'm I'm listen

<v Speaker 2>and we can put demonse on the screen here' I'm

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>I am not a likes to fight guy, and I'm

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 2>not a get in fights guy, but I also do

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 2>not like being publicly disrespected, and those two things come

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 2>in conflict at times. And he clearly wanted to get

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>that line off and then keep it moving, and I

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 2>wasn't about it. I was like, hey, I was like,

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 2>say it again. He's like, what's it feel like to

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 2>be a sellout? And I'm like explain. I was like,

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 2>just explain, explain what you mean. And he hemmed and

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 2>hawed and stammered, but he also was not going to

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.640
<v Speaker 2>be like, oh, I'm just kidding. So we so we

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 2>had a moment, he and I and I'm like, you

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 2>gotta tell me what where the sell what the sellout

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 2>part of it is? Like cause I picked the MAVs,

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Like what are we talking about? And he then all

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden got very animated and I'm like, all right,

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 2>well this could go you know, this could go sideways

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 2>on me a couple different ways, but I guess we're

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna wait and see what happened. And then as that

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.119
<v Speaker 2>happens to Monsey, because I was waiting at the bathroom

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 2>for your mom. As that happens, your mom comes out

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 2>of the bathroom, and I honestly think she scared him off.

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.359
<v Speaker 2>He's like, what's the problem here? And he and he

0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 2>starts walking away and curses at me walking away, curses

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.399
<v Speaker 2>at me, and your mom yells, oh, you're gonna talk.

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna talk, mess and run away. That's what you're

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna do. You're gonna talk, and you're gonna run. And

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 2>then he's lost in the crowd. So aside from that

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 2>really great evening in Boston, go ahead.

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 3>I could you imagine if he was like, actually, I'm

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 3>not gonna walk ways.

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Well at that point, here's the thing I always kind

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>of in those spots have like power in numbers, Like

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 2>even though it was a Boston crowd, everyone had been

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 2>so nice to me and I had taken so many

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 2>pictures that I also have the added kind of feeling

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 2>of security of this isn't really gonna go.

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 3>Left on me, Like there's an advantage.

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly right, that is exactly right. I felt like

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 2>I had home court advantage even though I was in

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 2>some random Boston pub surrounded by Celtic fans, because when

0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm out in these spaces, I think it's one of

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 2>my biggest kind of strengths as a public person is

0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>I really spend time with people. If you over and

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 2>say hello, I am meeting you at your eyes, I'm

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 2>shaking your hand and we're having a moment, you know

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? Where that.

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 3>Well? Have you really don't know that I have any

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 3>affiliation to you? Yeah?

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, So that so that's the And I said

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:20.799
<v Speaker 2>to one guy, one guy who was a diehard Celtic

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:25.719
<v Speaker 2>fan who showed me his group chat of his friends

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:30.239
<v Speaker 2>and him talking like sending clips of my takes, talking

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 2>trash about me. And I was like, I was like,

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 2>can I look? But he was being nice about it,

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. He wasn't really talking trash.

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>It was just like this idiot the you know the

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 2>things the maps are gonna win. I was like, I'm

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.039
<v Speaker 2>gonna look into the future and tell you something that's

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.760
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen. I was like, I'm going to say something

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 2>on TV this week that gets shared in that group chat,

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 2>and you're and these guys, your friends are gonna be

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 2>crushing me and you're gonna have a crisis of conscious

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 2>moment of do I join in or do I put

0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 2>in this group chat guys. I actually met him and

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.400
<v Speaker 2>he's pretty cool. I was like, and I was like,

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 2>and that's gonna be up to you, buddy. I was like,

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.360
<v Speaker 2>that's gonna be that's gonna be your call of what

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.480
<v Speaker 2>you do in that moment. But but it was great.

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 2>I had a great time. The Amtrak was awesome. Amtrack

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 2>a little more expensive than I thought, but the amtrack

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 2>to Boston was great. Uh, you know, we were there

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 2>for eighteen hours if that got in at three pm,

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 2>took the six amm track back. Didn't sleep much after

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 2>the game, So that was great. The game did not

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 2>go the way I had hoped, But what are you

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 2>gonna do? Your mom met Bea, which was very exciting

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 2>for her. Your mom also met Bill Simmons, and I

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 2>tried to introduce her to Bill Simmons and she said,

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 2>I know who Bill Simmons is. And he was very

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 2>happy about that. He's like, oh, and so there was

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.240
<v Speaker 2>So there were a lot of cool people we got

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 2>to see. We'll talk about all that. Also, if I

0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 2>made just real quick, I just saw my Twitter feed

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 2>that Shannon Sharp signed an extension uh with ESPN. Congrats

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>to Shannon. Happy for Shannon. He has the you know,

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 2>he took a leap, and obviously what he's doing online

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.160
<v Speaker 2>is crushing, and also what he's doing on TV is crushing.

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:21.040
<v Speaker 2>So even though there is you know, a network rivalry

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 2>if you will, a lot of good people over there.

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:28.239
<v Speaker 2>And I'm really happy that Shannon is continuing to thrive.

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:33.440
<v Speaker 2>He was unbelievable obviously an unbelievable football player, and then

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 2>he and Skip did, in my opinion, the best debate

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 2>show in the country for the better part of a

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.279
<v Speaker 2>half decade, if not longer. And now he's doing great.

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 2>So congrats to Shannon on that note. I just saw

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 2>that news. All right, Here's what missed the cut not

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:53.200

<v Speaker 2>last eight weeks, Demanse Scheffler of in three of the

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.320

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 2>ember of the family and get himmed up by a

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 2>self conscious foot cop that doesn't have anything better to do.

0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 2>What a week for Scottie Scheffler shout out to him.

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Brown compares himself to, Oh, this is gonna be

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 2>a tough one, hermony, I know that to Harry Potter

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 2>character demonse, did you ever get into Harry Pottery? Okay,

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 2>there you go.

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 3>I never got into Harry Potter.

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 2>I think Snape's the one people say, I look like,

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure. Somebody whatever one has the big long note.

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 2>That's not who Lamar Jackson compared me to. That was

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 2>a separate thing we'll get into on the show. I

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:02.640
<v Speaker 2>never got into Harry Potter either. One of the funniest

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 2>radio bits that's ever happened was at the peak of

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Harry Potter mania, Laslow, who you know, those books would

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 2>come out and they're like eight hundred page books, and

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 2>he made he made the day. The one of the

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 2>big books came out, I don't know, And it does

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 2>hold on. Let me, look at this, I'm gonna spoil

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 2>something here, but it was Dumbledore killed did Snape killed Dumbledore? Okay,

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.839
<v Speaker 2>thank you, Daniel, Daniel. I'm not by the way, I'm

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 2>not stereotyping here. But if I was gonna guess someone

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.080
<v Speaker 2>on the staff that might have Harry Potter clucked, Daniel

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.559
<v Speaker 2>would have been who I went to as I was saying,

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 2>but uh, but so one of the funniest radio bits

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:53.160
<v Speaker 2>ever is the when that book came out. That's an

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.719
<v Speaker 2>age thing, Daniel, it's not anything else. When when that

0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 2>book came out, Uh, Laslow does a great radio show

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 2>in Kansas City Church Alislow made one of his internser

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.079
<v Speaker 2>producers stand in line so they could be one of

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.839
<v Speaker 2>the first people for the book, and then made them

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.040
<v Speaker 2>go home and read it eight hundred page book. You

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:19.439
<v Speaker 2>have to read it and have it finished by the

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 2>time the show's on the next day. So they like

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.680
<v Speaker 2>speed read the book. And then Laslow opened the show

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 2>spoiling it and said, hey, everybody, Dumbledore killed Snape or

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Snape killed Dumbledore. Sorry, And there were protests. I mean,

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 2>it was a jerk move, but it is a hilarious bit.

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:42.959
<v Speaker 2>It is a hilarious bit. Twenty years ago. So twenty

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.680
<v Speaker 2>years ago, the book just comes out, and the day

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 2>after he publicly just starts the radio show with Snape

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 2>killed Dumbledore. It was on the news in Kansas City.

0:09:55.760 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't all time great radio bit, all time radio bit.

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 2>And then also lastly, Lebron says, bad boys for sodium good.

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen it yet. Okay, let's get to the

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.319
<v Speaker 2>actual show. Demon's a lot to do.

0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:16.720
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead. Yeah, So the Celtics, of my Celtics, they

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 3>took a commanding two zero lead in Dallas or in Boston. Sorry,

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 3>and it seems like you might have made an assistant

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.839
<v Speaker 3>coaching debut at at the Celtics arena. I don't know

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 3>what Celtics arena is called, honestly, t.

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.959
<v Speaker 2>TD garden, called the Boston Garden T garden?

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yes, So how was that witnessing your Slovenian son?

0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Take that? Take that out? Even though he did well,

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 3>he had a triple double win. You've seen to be listen.

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I went into the game saying, Luca's got to create

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.679
<v Speaker 2>fifty five points. He created fifty five points on the nose,

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.439
<v Speaker 2>thirty two points, eleven assists, one of those assists. Was

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 2>was on a three, so that's fifty five on the nose.

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Here's here's where I was concerned. So there's obviously, and

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 2>I think we'll roll through it at some point. A

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 2>meme of me looking very concerned. I'm on the broadcast

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 2>watching Luca get you know, wrapped, and I'm standing there.

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 2>I didn't love any of this. I'm like, okay, I

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 2>knew that he had been added to the injury report

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.959
<v Speaker 2>or downgraded on the injury report because of a chest thing.

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 2>But here's where I was worried that he might not

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 2>be able to be effective. Now, obviously he was. Right

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 2>after they do player intros demanse, when they're coming out

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.720
<v Speaker 2>for the opening tip, Luca is going player by player

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 2>and coach by coach, dapping them up right, and one

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 2>of the coaches instead, while he's dapping someone else up

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 2>gives him a light little one of these taps on

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:50.200
<v Speaker 2>the chest and Luca winces and the coach goes oh,

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 2>and then Jason Kid looks at him like what are

0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 2>you doing? And I'm like, oh, boy, Like that wasn't

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 2>for the cameras, that was you know, no one else

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 2>saw it. It was just getting tapped on his chest.

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Whatever he was dealing with hurt him. Now he did

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>not look hurt. How he played, I thought he played well.

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm also going to be consistent on something that people

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 2>have for a long time wanted me to criticize guys

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 2>for that. I simply don't think it's fair, which is

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Luca in this game, in this series, but in this

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.800
<v Speaker 2>game in particular, was not that effective in the fourth quarter,

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 2>and people are like, well, you know, can he close?

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:37.559
<v Speaker 2>Can he not close? Fourth quarter effectiveness and how much

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:43.599
<v Speaker 2>I expect out of you has always been on a

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 2>scale of how much did you have to exert in

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.839
<v Speaker 2>the first three quarters to get your team in the

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 2>game in the fourth. So with Kyrie struggling the way

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:58.679
<v Speaker 2>he was with this is an insane stat man other

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 2>than Luca, no mav in this series has made more

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 2>than one three pointer. Lukea is eight of twenty one

0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 2>from three. The rest of the team is five of

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:14.680
<v Speaker 2>thirty one, and no one has made more than one.

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 2>So I felt like Luca, we have did was didn't

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:25.080
<v Speaker 2>have the luxury of being able to you know, coast

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 2>at times or rest at times throughout the first three

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 2>quarters of the game because if he wasn't doing what

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 2>he was doing, they were gonna be down twenty and

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.360
<v Speaker 2>then come the fourth quarter he was gassed. Now, if

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 2>you want to say he needs to be in better shape,

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:41.880
<v Speaker 2>he needs to be able to go hard for forty

0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:46.559
<v Speaker 2>plus minutes. It's the finals that is fair. Only in

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 2>this regard, there are only two guys in the last

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:59.559
<v Speaker 2>uh ten fifteen years that have been able to consistently

0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:02.839
<v Speaker 2>do that, and that was Lebron and Giannis, guys that

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.960
<v Speaker 2>can go all out and still have the most left

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 2>in the tank in the fourth quarter. Jokis, to his credit,

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.199
<v Speaker 2>seemed to be able to do it in a different

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 2>way in last year's playoffs as well. But we saw

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 2>Yannis do it, and we saw Lebron do it every

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 2>year for damn near a decade. Uh and so it's

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 2>just like Steph would get Steph wouldn't play those super

0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 2>high minutes. Durant would play those super high minutes, but

0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 2>then would sometimes trail off in the fourth quarter. Very

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 2>very difficult. Now on the actual game, Demanse, let's talk

0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 2>about your Celtics for a second, because their game plan

0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 2>has been brilliant, defensively brilliant, and that's Joe Mizzula, who

0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I think is a little bit of a weird odd gut,

0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:01.120
<v Speaker 2>but I love it. So listen. The Celtics fans are

0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 2>loving Missoula right now, and his ability to scheme a

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 2>defense that is simply saying we are not going to

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 2>allow you to shoot corner threes has been excellent. They take.

0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:21.120
<v Speaker 2>They have five attempted corner threes this series. That's crazy.

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 2>That's really crazy, and that's coaching. And I know that

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Kevon looney yesterday and Kevin Wilde's yesterday both kind of

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 2>soft launched the take of Luca needs to get his

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>teammates more involved. That's not what I'm seeing. I'm not

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 2>seeing that Lucas being you know, super ball dominant. He take.

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 2>He took fewer shots in this game than Jason Tatum did.

0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 2>He's still had eleven assists. They're not making shots, and

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:58.680
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics defensive scheme has been we're gonna single cover guys,

0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.840
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna sing will cover guys and not allow the

0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.840
<v Speaker 2>role players to get hot. The guy who should be

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 2>able to take the most advantage of that is Kyrie.

0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Because Kyrie, with his skill and ball handling as great

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 2>as Drew Holliday is, and as good as Derek White is,

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 2>he still shouldn't be struggling to this level if they're

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.840
<v Speaker 2>not doubling him. And so if people think I'm making

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 2>an excuse for Luca, what what grade would you give

0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Luca Demons through two games for his performance through two games?

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 3>As just say A B plus plus plus.

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:43.960
<v Speaker 2>So B plus is what where I've landed at it

0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 2>because he's held to a higher standard eight. But he's

0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 2>certainly not the problem. What is true is he has

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:58.240
<v Speaker 2>is Defensively, he hasn't been good. There's there's no question.

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 2>But what I will say, the MAVs would have signed

0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:05.040
<v Speaker 2>up for Boston scoring one oh seven and one oh five.

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 2>They're not losing because of their defense. Now maybe they

0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.679
<v Speaker 2>will in a future game, but the MAVs defense has

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:15.920
<v Speaker 2>been good enough. Their offense is doing nothing, and that's

0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.040
<v Speaker 2>been that's been the problem. Here is the other truth

0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:24.320
<v Speaker 2>for Luca. He for them to win the series, he

0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.520
<v Speaker 2>has to be an A plus. I think that he's

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 2>going to have to have the MAVs path is if

0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:36.160
<v Speaker 2>they are gonna win the series. Luca has two games

0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 2>where he is unstoppable forty plus points and double digit assists.

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 2>You need two of those. You need Kyrie to have

0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 2>one excellent game and one game where the MAVs role

0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 2>players catch fire from three. I think the catch fire

0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 2>from three role players game is likely to be game three,

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 2>but we see. Listen. If what I'm asking of Luca

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:07.080
<v Speaker 2>sounds too much, I don't think it is. What he

0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 2>needs to do is what Yannis did when he was

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:14.359
<v Speaker 2>down two to zero in the finals. That's the path

0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Yannis in that game too much like Luca played really well,

0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:23.200
<v Speaker 2>had forty two and four and twelve with four assists,

0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.080
<v Speaker 2>but they lost. In the final four games of that

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:33.399
<v Speaker 2>series against the Suns, he averaged thirty seven thirteen and

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:39.200
<v Speaker 2>five and a half assists. That's what is going to

0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 2>be necessary for the MAVs to win is for Luca

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.560
<v Speaker 2>to go on a run similar to what Yannis did.

0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:50.359
<v Speaker 2>And when Yannis did that, he got rightfully crowned the

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:55.320
<v Speaker 2>best player in the world. If Luca does that, sorry Jokic, folks,

0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 2>I think Luca will be rightfully crowned the best player

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:02.479
<v Speaker 2>in the world. If if he doesn't, then Jokic's probably

0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:06.119
<v Speaker 2>retains that title. And if Luca is just if he

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 2>is thirty, ten and ten. The rest of the way,

0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.360
<v Speaker 2>the Maps don't have a chance. They are not good

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 2>enough to beat the Celtics without Luca being a plus.

0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 2>And that's what we're seeing. And if we want to say,

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.399
<v Speaker 2>if he's not a plus, he's an f, so be it.

0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't look at it that way. I do think

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Boston deserves a ton of credit. I think Boston's defense

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:33.400
<v Speaker 2>has been excellent, and Boston not having a weak link

0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:38.920
<v Speaker 2>in their five man starting lineup is a huge There's

0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:42.720
<v Speaker 2>nowhere to hide defensively because all five guys can score,

0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:47.640
<v Speaker 2>and there's no easy matchup offensively. And again, if people

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.040
<v Speaker 2>are hearing this and like, well, Nick, so why did

0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:54.040
<v Speaker 2>you pick the Mavericks. I pick the Mavericks because it's

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:57.680
<v Speaker 2>very difficult for me to go against a team that

0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:01.600
<v Speaker 2>has the best player in the series. Correctly anticipated and

0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk about this more in a moment, that Tatum

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:09.000
<v Speaker 2>might struggle a bit, and I I this is where

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:15.160
<v Speaker 2>I totally whiffed. I thought the Celtics lack of competition

0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.320
<v Speaker 2>up to this point in the playoffs was going to

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.520
<v Speaker 2>set them at a huge disadvantage, and I.

0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:25.280
<v Speaker 3>Were the opposite way. What go ahead? To get they're

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 3>super rested, they haven't played anybody serious and everybody's on

0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.560
<v Speaker 3>full ten. The Mavericks came out, I wouldn't call it

0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 3>a dogfight. Obviously they beat the They beat the Timberwolves

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 3>pretty swiftly, but they had to play a lot more

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.479
<v Speaker 3>tougher guys, and I think I think it's catching up.

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:43.360
<v Speaker 2>And the series against Oklahoma City was brutal, even though

0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.520
<v Speaker 2>it only went six games. That you know, the timberl

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:50.560
<v Speaker 2>series was you're the road team, You're playing a team

0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.439
<v Speaker 2>coming off their emotional high. There's there and those if

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:57.200
<v Speaker 2>you remember the timberl series, those first three games, for

0:20:57.359 --> 0:21:00.399
<v Speaker 2>first two games in particular, came down to the final minute.

0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:02.720
<v Speaker 2>And so yeah, that does take something out of you.

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean I thought it would because they still then

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:08.119
<v Speaker 2>got eight days off. I thought they were going to

0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 2>be rested and peak challenged. Instead, it hasn't looked like that,

0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:18.359
<v Speaker 2>and the Celtics have had no problem at all turning

0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:21.639
<v Speaker 2>the switch from all right, these teams can't beat us.

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 2>To need full attention to detail, and they're giving it that.

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:30.399
<v Speaker 3>I helped a lot. I wonder what that looks like

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:35.160
<v Speaker 3>if we don't have porzingis in that first, and we also.

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Might find Listen, the Porzingis injury is uh yeah, there

0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:43.760
<v Speaker 2>are two right now flies potentially in the Celtics. Ointment

0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:50.479
<v Speaker 2>one is is house hurt is is porzingis? Sorry? How

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:54.680
<v Speaker 2>hurt is porzingis? That's a real question mark to the

0:21:54.840 --> 0:21:57.920
<v Speaker 2>point to where I would if I were Boston, I

0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:01.879
<v Speaker 2>would strongly consider resting him in Game three. I know

0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:05.119
<v Speaker 2>it's the finals and that sounds ridiculous, but you have

0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 2>a margin of error here, and what you don't want

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:09.959
<v Speaker 2>is him to go out in Game three not one

0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:13.760
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent and then reaggravate I understand it's the other leg,

0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 2>it's not the leg he missed forty days with, but

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 2>reaggravate that or the other one, and all of a

0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:21.520
<v Speaker 2>sudden you're without him for the rest of the series.

0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 2>The other issue for Boston is what Jason Tatum are

0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:33.720
<v Speaker 2>we going to get? Because winning the championship with your

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:41.199
<v Speaker 2>alleged best player playing at this level would be wildly unprecedented,

0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 2>And so we'll talk more about that in a moment,

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.000
<v Speaker 2>but I know there are some pictures and some moments

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:48.040
<v Speaker 2>from game one that we want to go through.

0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so we showed you the meme of you at

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:53.639
<v Speaker 3>the game already, We've got a couple more for you.

0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:58.200
<v Speaker 3>So is the second one? Yeah, what's what's going on there?

0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:04.920
<v Speaker 2>There? Oh, these are the Getty images right there. I

0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 2>mean at this, I'm just saying, can you please drive

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:12.479
<v Speaker 2>past Sam Hauser? Like, can you please drive past Sam Hauser?

0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:12.959
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

0:23:13.200 --> 0:23:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Your mom, I think in that moment, is glancing down

0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:18.680
<v Speaker 2>seeing what people on Twitter are saying about her after

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:22.159
<v Speaker 2>the picture with her and Simmons and Riscilla went mini viral.

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 2>All right, what's the next one?

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:29.720
<v Speaker 3>The third one? Here is the Luca You're behind Luca. Oh, oh, that's.

0:23:29.680 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing my thing where I lean. Luca hits this

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:36.680
<v Speaker 2>shot where I do like a lean and then bang.

0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 2>And also that we don't have a yeah, so I'm

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:43.879
<v Speaker 2>hoping he makes it. We also don't we don't have

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:46.160
<v Speaker 2>a picture of it. And once again, your mom's on Twitter.

0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:53.080
<v Speaker 2>But uh, the there is right before Prichard's buzzer beater,

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm standing and as soon as he hits it, I

0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:00.440
<v Speaker 2>sprint to the tunnel because I don't don't want to

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 2>hear like the Boston crowd roar. Like if you watch

0:24:03.800 --> 0:24:07.200
<v Speaker 2>the game footage, you can see me stand up, watch it,

0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:09.840
<v Speaker 2>and then book it like I am out of here

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 2>and so yeah, so that was me the game. By

0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:15.880
<v Speaker 2>the way, I'm not going to say his last name

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:18.240
<v Speaker 2>because I don't know that he wants me to. But

0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 2>a huge shout out and appreciation to Kansas City native

0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:28.280
<v Speaker 2>my new friend Chad, who I had met Chad before.

0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:30.359
<v Speaker 2>Chad's again, I don't want to give too much of

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:35.440
<v Speaker 2>his personal information. Very very successful, sharp guy who's done

0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 2>very well for his life in a bunch of businesses.

0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:40.840
<v Speaker 2>He's from Kansas City, lived in Cali for some time,

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 2>is back in Kansas City. A year ago, Chad invited

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:49.159
<v Speaker 2>me to a Warriors Kings game, but I couldn't get

0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:53.280
<v Speaker 2>out to California. The reason I had those seats was

0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:57.200
<v Speaker 2>because on Friday, Chad sent me an email and said,

0:24:57.800 --> 0:25:02.880
<v Speaker 2>I have two extra seats for Game two of the finals.

0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:07.479
<v Speaker 2>If you and Demanse want to go, I've got them

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:11.399
<v Speaker 2>for you. And I said, well, Demanse's in California. And

0:25:11.440 --> 0:25:13.680
<v Speaker 2>I even looked at flights like is there a way

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:15.600
<v Speaker 2>I was trying to see, is there a way for

0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:17.520
<v Speaker 2>you to get to Boston and then get back to

0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:21.320
<v Speaker 2>LA in time? At right and it was just not

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:24.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna be you were gonna it was the It was

0:25:24.960 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 2>to be flying for half the time, right, You've been

0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:30.200
<v Speaker 2>flying for half the time. You'd have to miss Monday

0:25:30.240 --> 0:25:31.879
<v Speaker 2>at work, which I know you don't want to do.

0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:35.159
<v Speaker 2>And it will also be weird, Like, hey, guys, no notice,

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:37.240
<v Speaker 2>but I'm missing Monday because I'm gonna be court side

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:39.440
<v Speaker 2>at the finals. It just be weird, you know what

0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean? For you politically at work. I felt like,

0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 2>so I didn't even tell you at first, and so

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I emailed them back. I'm like, buddy, I will definitely go.

0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Demanse can't. He had also mentioned Wilds. I knew Wilds

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:55.800
<v Speaker 2>was not going to spend that much time traveling. I

0:25:55.920 --> 0:25:58.639
<v Speaker 2>was like, but you know you can if you want to.

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:01.040
<v Speaker 2>It's they're your tickets whereever you want with him. But

0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:02.800
<v Speaker 2>I know my wife would come, and he was like,

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:04.840
<v Speaker 2>I'd love for your wife to come, and he was great.

0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 2>So shout out to Chad and U. John, the guy

0:26:08.640 --> 0:26:12.399
<v Speaker 2>who you saw in those pictures, former big time college

0:26:12.440 --> 0:26:15.480
<v Speaker 2>baseball pitcher and professional pitcher, John who was there with

0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:17.600
<v Speaker 2>us as well, had a great time with those guys.

0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 2>It was a hell of a night. All right, let's

0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 2>go on to the Celtics.

0:26:20.840 --> 0:26:24.680
<v Speaker 3>John, all right, so Jason kids trying to play some

0:26:24.760 --> 0:26:27.560
<v Speaker 3>mining games with the Celtics. He went on the podium

0:26:27.560 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 3>and said that Jalen Brown is the best player at

0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:34.160
<v Speaker 3>not Jason Tatum. So obviously Tatum hasn't been playing well

0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:36.359
<v Speaker 3>Jalen Brown has. So do you think there's some truth

0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 3>to what Jason Kidd is saying there?

0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:44.679
<v Speaker 2>So here's what I think in a vacuum, Jason Tatum

0:26:44.760 --> 0:26:48.639
<v Speaker 2>is better than Jalen Brown. He has more accolades, he

0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 2>has more natural talent, he's bigger. I understand that. But

0:26:56.160 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 2>right now, it's not just that Jalen Brown is out

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 2>playing Jason Tatum. Drew Holliday's out playing Jason Tatum. You

0:27:04.040 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 2>could argue Derek whitees out playing Jason Tatum. Chris STAPs

0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:10.800
<v Speaker 2>in limited minutes, you could argue is out playing Jason Tatum.

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 2>And I don't want to hear about Honest to god,

0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:15.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to hear about his rebounds and assists numbers.

0:27:16.200 --> 0:27:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I understand they're good. If you're watching these games, demons A,

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:25.359
<v Speaker 2>he looks scared. He said after Game one he was

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:27.919
<v Speaker 2>nervous and then after game two he's like, Oh, I'm

0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:29.560
<v Speaker 2>not gonna let my ego get in the way of

0:27:29.640 --> 0:27:32.280
<v Speaker 2>us winning a championship. Other guys are rolling, buddy. You

0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:35.080
<v Speaker 2>took twenty two shots. No one else on your team

0:27:35.119 --> 0:27:38.520
<v Speaker 2>took more than fifteen. It wasn't a oh, you're doubling me,

0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:41.480
<v Speaker 2>so I'm gonna get other people involved. You couldn't hit shots,

0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:44.320
<v Speaker 2>you miss layups. You were one for seven in the

0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:51.959
<v Speaker 2>fourth quarter. He is right now Finals history since the merger,

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:56.520
<v Speaker 2>the worst field goal percentage of anyone ever through eight

0:27:56.720 --> 0:28:00.240
<v Speaker 2>career finals games, dating back to the last finals in

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:05.000
<v Speaker 2>At this point, it's a thing, and it is. It

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:10.400
<v Speaker 2>is a testament to the team that Brad Stevens put together,

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 2>that your best player can be playing like this and

0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 2>you're up to zero in the finals. But I don't

0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:21.320
<v Speaker 2>think there is any I don't I don't think there

0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 2>is an argument to be made that, oh, wait, Tatum's

0:28:25.600 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 2>actually been better than people are giving him credit for.

0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Tatum's been really bad and the Celtics are winning despite that,

0:28:33.840 --> 0:28:35.560
<v Speaker 2>your thoughts as a Celtics than.

0:28:37.080 --> 0:28:40.080
<v Speaker 3>I think it's crazy, But I'm I'm not mad at it. Obviously,

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:42.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm the Celtics fan. I get how it's annoying for

0:28:42.240 --> 0:28:44.600
<v Speaker 3>everybody else, but I love the facts and like are

0:28:44.840 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 3>considered the best player can play like Kaka and we

0:28:49.800 --> 0:28:53.840
<v Speaker 3>still win. I think it's I think it's awesome. We

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 3>got five guys that could do it. I hope that

0:28:57.480 --> 0:29:00.200
<v Speaker 3>what Tatum is saying is like with his ego, really

0:29:00.240 --> 0:29:02.640
<v Speaker 3>hope that it's not getting to him, But like we're human,

0:29:02.720 --> 0:29:04.680
<v Speaker 3>so I feel like it probably is to say I

0:29:04.720 --> 0:29:06.080
<v Speaker 3>think it has to get to him.

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's I think it'd be one thing

0:29:08.960 --> 0:29:13.120
<v Speaker 2>if it were a I'm playing well, but one of

0:29:13.200 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 2>my teammates is playing great and they're getting the credit.

0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:21.040
<v Speaker 2>I think that would be I think that's easier to

0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:24.280
<v Speaker 2>deal with, even if you know what I mean. You all,

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:26.640
<v Speaker 2>everyone wants to be the star of the movie. I

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:31.240
<v Speaker 2>get that, but that would be a situation where it's like, hey,

0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:34.440
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, the we're winning, I'm playing fine,

0:29:34.520 --> 0:29:38.000
<v Speaker 2>this guy's playing great, that's awesome. That's not what's happening.

0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Drew Holliday is playing great, Jalen Brown's playing very well.

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 2>But the reason Tatum's where he is is because Tatum

0:29:45.000 --> 0:29:48.400
<v Speaker 2>is playing so poorly. And so it's I think that

0:29:48.440 --> 0:29:52.160
<v Speaker 2>would get to anybody. I think that now what he

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:55.800
<v Speaker 2>has going for him is because they're up to O demans.

0:29:56.720 --> 0:30:00.560
<v Speaker 2>It's not as if I'm costing my team a chanceampionship.

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:05.640
<v Speaker 2>But let this, Let game three go the MAVs way

0:30:05.920 --> 0:30:09.160
<v Speaker 2>and Tatum play mediocre and then all of a sudden,

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:11.320
<v Speaker 2>see you know what I mean, how he's feeling.

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:16.120
<v Speaker 3>And then on the other's just gonna get ratcheted up, right, Yeah,

0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:19.240
<v Speaker 3>the pressure is going on on the other side of it.

0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:21.160
<v Speaker 3>He's going to go back to Dallas and they have

0:30:21.240 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 3>the two games, and if he shines there, I think

0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:25.720
<v Speaker 3>that everybody kind of forgets about what's happening in the

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:26.440
<v Speaker 3>first two games.

0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:32.240
<v Speaker 2>He's still the big favorite to win finals. MVP. Yeah, so,

0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:34.760
<v Speaker 2>which is crazy to me, But that to me says

0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Vegas thinks that if he is just good, not even

0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 2>great the rest of the way, because he has the

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 2>rebound and assists numbers that already look really good, They're like, man,

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:49.280
<v Speaker 2>he's going to finish these finals if he has a

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:54.080
<v Speaker 2>couple good scoring games averaging twenty four to ten and eight,

0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:57.120
<v Speaker 2>and people are gonna say and that people are going

0:30:57.200 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 2>to revisionist history, be like, Oh, was he really that bad?

0:31:00.360 --> 0:31:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Early on? His efficiency has been terrible? All right? You

0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 2>want to ask them follow ups here? Yeah?

0:31:06.880 --> 0:31:09.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Do you think that Brown's contracts has anything to

0:31:09.320 --> 0:31:12.000
<v Speaker 3>do with this? Like both for his mindset and Tatum's.

0:31:12.880 --> 0:31:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think Jalen Brown's something to prove. Jalen Brown

0:31:16.040 --> 0:31:19.160
<v Speaker 2>didn't make all NBA. He's always been in trade rumors

0:31:19.560 --> 0:31:23.680
<v Speaker 2>and his contract became something of a punchline. So I

0:31:23.760 --> 0:31:25.960
<v Speaker 2>think he's at he has something to prove, but I

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:28.080
<v Speaker 2>think it's been in a positive way. What else?

0:31:29.520 --> 0:31:31.600
<v Speaker 3>And the Finals continue to go this way and Tatum

0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:33.840
<v Speaker 3>never gets his moment? How do you think that affects

0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:35.160
<v Speaker 3>the team going into next season?

0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:38.040
<v Speaker 2>If they win? I don't think it affects him negatively

0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:41.040
<v Speaker 2>at all. Maybe you get that bonus of Tatum being

0:31:41.080 --> 0:31:43.479
<v Speaker 2>a champion, but also having a little chip on his shoulder.

0:31:43.960 --> 0:31:48.760
<v Speaker 2>If they lose, that's a whole nother discussion. If the

0:31:48.840 --> 0:31:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Celtics blow a two to zero finals lead, would be

0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:53.600
<v Speaker 2>just the sixth team in NBA history to do it,

0:31:54.120 --> 0:31:57.880
<v Speaker 2>and do it because Tatum, you know, spirals the whole time.

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:03.400
<v Speaker 2>That has serious US ramifications, But it would be premature

0:32:03.520 --> 0:32:04.960
<v Speaker 2>right now, to talk.

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:07.880
<v Speaker 3>About that, like, like, what do they even do with

0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:08.360
<v Speaker 3>the team.

0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I don't think they do. I think they run

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:14.040
<v Speaker 2>it back. I don't think they do anything significant. I'm

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:17.200
<v Speaker 2>just saying how long of a tail that would have

0:32:17.480 --> 0:32:22.120
<v Speaker 2>on Jason Tatum the basketball player. Like the Celtics were

0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:25.680
<v Speaker 2>up to one in the finals previously, Tatum didn't play

0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:29.360
<v Speaker 2>well and they lost. But you were playing the Warriors

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 2>with Steph Curry. You were twenty four and twenty five

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Tatum and Brown, and so you know, it's like, ah,

0:32:35.080 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 2>you weren't really supposed to win, even though they kind

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:40.800
<v Speaker 2>of were once they were up to one. This would

0:32:40.840 --> 0:32:42.800
<v Speaker 2>be a different story entirely. What else?

0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Uh, Yeah, Brad Stevens keeps getting all the credit for

0:32:46.640 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 3>the Celtics team. What about Danny Ainge. Danny Ainge and

0:32:50.400 --> 0:32:51.760
<v Speaker 3>how much credit does he deserve?

0:32:52.680 --> 0:32:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, the Tatum and Brown, the KG piercetrade that

0:32:57.120 --> 0:33:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Danny Ainge pulled off, and that netted you Tatum and Brown.

0:33:01.000 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Of course he gets credit for that. But Brad Stevens

0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 2>put the rest of this team together, and and I

0:33:06.720 --> 0:33:08.680
<v Speaker 2>I think, hold on, let me check.

0:33:09.720 --> 0:33:12.400
<v Speaker 3>Derek wait, I could say they're both equally important at

0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:13.040
<v Speaker 3>this point.

0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Like the second half of sure, and so Derek White

0:33:18.200 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 2>was traded on February tenth, twenty twenty twenty two. I

0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:27.640
<v Speaker 2>think that was Brad Stevens. Let me check to make sure.

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:34.160
<v Speaker 2>So February of twenty two is when he was traded.

0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:38.000
<v Speaker 2>When did he take? Yeah, so Brad, that was so

0:33:38.200 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Brad Stevens, was Drew hollow was Drew It was Derek White.

0:33:42.520 --> 0:33:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Obviously the Drew Holliday trade, obviously the Christaps trade. Those

0:33:46.240 --> 0:33:50.080
<v Speaker 2>are all Brad Stevens. So Brad Stevens I think gets

0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Brad Stevens, by the way, being a great college coach,

0:33:52.840 --> 0:33:56.440
<v Speaker 2>being an excellent NBA coach, and seamlessly transitioning to the

0:33:56.520 --> 0:34:00.120
<v Speaker 2>front office and crushing it. Well, I mean, what a

0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:02.640
<v Speaker 2>run by that guy. There's no no denying it all

0:34:02.720 --> 0:34:03.000
<v Speaker 2>right now?

0:34:03.720 --> 0:34:06.800
<v Speaker 3>With that, like, I don't know, is there a chance

0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:11.400
<v Speaker 3>that he ever becomes like a commissioner? Oh?

0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I'd never even thought of that. I guess maybe, yeah,

0:34:15.120 --> 0:34:19.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's not that used to be. How commissioners

0:34:19.360 --> 0:34:22.960
<v Speaker 2>got hired a lot across leagues came from within a

0:34:23.080 --> 0:34:26.319
<v Speaker 2>team and then ascended to the league office. These days,

0:34:26.400 --> 0:34:29.560
<v Speaker 2>it seems to be more like league office lifers that

0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:35.040
<v Speaker 2>move up. But yeah, maybe I mean the theo Epstein

0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:37.920
<v Speaker 2>who helped build the Red build the Red Sox and

0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:40.880
<v Speaker 2>helped build the Cubs and now kind of does bigger

0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:46.440
<v Speaker 2>picture stuff. He was, you know, Steve Alhway's got it.

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Seems to have the brain for almost everything. All right,

0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:52.600
<v Speaker 2>next classic category one by me? Next go ahead.

0:34:54.440 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 3>So the Lakers are still on the on the hunt

0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 3>for their head coach after Dan Hurley turned down. There

0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:04.399
<v Speaker 3>was it six year's seventy million that would have made

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:07.960
<v Speaker 3>him the sixth highest paid coach according to WOJ. So

0:35:08.160 --> 0:35:10.239
<v Speaker 3>are you excited for JJ Reddick to become the lakers

0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:10.839
<v Speaker 3>new head coach?

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:13.400
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:17.879
<v Speaker 2>But I mean I saw this coming, Guys. I don't

0:35:17.920 --> 0:35:19.600
<v Speaker 2>want to pat myself on the back. But on this

0:35:19.760 --> 0:35:22.120
<v Speaker 2>show on Thursday, I said I didn't buy Hurley. On

0:35:22.239 --> 0:35:25.840
<v Speaker 2>TV on Thursday said I didn't buy Hurley. On TV Friday,

0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:29.240
<v Speaker 2>when the whole world was measuring drapes for Danny Hurley's

0:35:29.280 --> 0:35:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Lakers office, I said, I didn't buy it. The Lakers

0:35:32.480 --> 0:35:39.520
<v Speaker 2>are not well run flatly and now they have made

0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:46.160
<v Speaker 2>in the since in the last five years, they've had

0:35:46.280 --> 0:35:51.080
<v Speaker 2>multiple coaching changes, They have made two very different mistakes

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:55.320
<v Speaker 2>now multiple times with two of them. First one was

0:35:56.160 --> 0:36:02.080
<v Speaker 2>publicly go after Tyloo after firing Luke Walton want Tylo,

0:36:03.680 --> 0:36:08.080
<v Speaker 2>lowball him, don't get him, settle on Vogel, and then

0:36:08.160 --> 0:36:11.359
<v Speaker 2>you have the embarrassment of the entire world knowing you're

0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:16.000
<v Speaker 2>the Los Angeles Lakers and you didn't get your first choice.

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Whoever you hire is not your first choice. That is

0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 2>now going to happen again. Another mistake. After they fired Vogel,

0:36:24.920 --> 0:36:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Rob Bolinka did not hold a press conference. So the

0:36:30.719 --> 0:36:33.960
<v Speaker 2>next time Rob Bolinka spoke to the media was when

0:36:34.600 --> 0:36:38.560
<v Speaker 2>they were they the press conference for Darvin Ham. And

0:36:38.840 --> 0:36:44.120
<v Speaker 2>guess what that press conference turned into relitigating firing Vogel.

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:48.120
<v Speaker 2>So you have Darvin Ham sitting there awkwardly while Rob

0:36:48.160 --> 0:36:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Bolinka's answering questions he should have answered a month prior.

0:36:52.480 --> 0:36:56.120
<v Speaker 2>What happened this time they fired Ham, never addressed it

0:36:56.239 --> 0:37:00.600
<v Speaker 2>to the media, and now whomever they hire, that press

0:37:00.719 --> 0:37:03.520
<v Speaker 2>conference is going to be about what happened with Ham

0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:06.360
<v Speaker 2>because you never dealt with that, and what happened with

0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Hurley because you're publicly missed on that. And so there

0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:15.040
<v Speaker 2>are two options as to why Dan Hurley is not

0:37:15.160 --> 0:37:20.560
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers coach. Option one, they publicly targeted a guy,

0:37:21.440 --> 0:37:26.040
<v Speaker 2>leaked it, let wog know, let everyone know, uh, made

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:29.839
<v Speaker 2>a big story of it, and then they were unable

0:37:29.920 --> 0:37:34.400
<v Speaker 2>to land their candidate, either out of cheapness or incompetence.

0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:39.080
<v Speaker 2>That's option one. Option two is this, they never expected

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:42.200
<v Speaker 2>to hire Danny Hurley, but they wanted the world to know,

0:37:42.880 --> 0:37:45.640
<v Speaker 2>or at least believe, Oh, we're not settling just for

0:37:46.239 --> 0:37:48.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, JJ Reddick. We're going after the best and

0:37:48.880 --> 0:37:51.600
<v Speaker 2>the brightest, and oh darn, what do you expect? Nothing

0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:55.960
<v Speaker 2>we could do and it was pr Both of those

0:37:56.040 --> 0:38:03.480
<v Speaker 2>options suck. Both of those options screamed incompetence. And one

0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:05.960
<v Speaker 2>of my favorite scenes for one of my favorite movies ever,

0:38:06.160 --> 0:38:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Ace Rothstein saying to the guy in casino after somebody

0:38:12.120 --> 0:38:16.640
<v Speaker 2>hits three jackpots in a row, which there was a scam.

0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Either either you were you're too incompetent to know you're

0:38:22.680 --> 0:38:27.040
<v Speaker 2>being scammed, or you're in on the scam. Either way

0:38:27.640 --> 0:38:32.680
<v Speaker 2>you gotta go. Either you really wanted Danny Hurley and

0:38:32.840 --> 0:38:36.720
<v Speaker 2>you couldn't land him, or this was all a pr

0:38:36.960 --> 0:38:39.439
<v Speaker 2>ruse that you thought would work in your favor because

0:38:39.480 --> 0:38:43.040
<v Speaker 2>you couldn't game out. We're gonna look either super cheap

0:38:43.200 --> 0:38:46.800
<v Speaker 2>or super incompetent, and you thought this was gonna be

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:52.919
<v Speaker 2>a pr win either way. Someone tell me what Rob

0:38:53.000 --> 0:38:56.239
<v Speaker 2>the Lincoln, the Lakers front office has done in a

0:38:56.520 --> 0:39:00.640
<v Speaker 2>decade to show you they know what they're doing. Well, Nick,

0:39:00.719 --> 0:39:04.279
<v Speaker 2>they won a championship. If not for the fact that

0:39:04.520 --> 0:39:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Lebron James graced your organization with a free agency decision

0:39:10.239 --> 0:39:13.960
<v Speaker 2>six years ago, you're in the wilderness for a decade

0:39:14.640 --> 0:39:20.280
<v Speaker 2>as the Lakers. They're a poorly run mom and pop operation,

0:39:21.080 --> 0:39:26.600
<v Speaker 2>that's what they are. And so I and the fact

0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:31.520
<v Speaker 2>if this was all just Bobby Hurley, I'm sorry, that's

0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:37.400
<v Speaker 2>his dad, Dan Hurley, leveraging the Lakers through Adrian wodron Erowski,

0:39:37.719 --> 0:39:42.400
<v Speaker 2>who literally wrote a book on Dan Hurley's father that

0:39:42.719 --> 0:39:47.319
<v Speaker 2>is in the camera shot of all of his ESPN appearances,

0:39:48.520 --> 0:39:51.440
<v Speaker 2>the Miracle at Saint Anthony or whatever it was. And

0:39:51.640 --> 0:39:54.480
<v Speaker 2>you couldn't see this coming from a mile away. I

0:39:54.680 --> 0:40:01.480
<v Speaker 2>saw it coming six days ago on this podcast. So

0:40:02.920 --> 0:40:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what they're gonna do. I honestly don't

0:40:06.680 --> 0:40:11.560
<v Speaker 2>probably end up settling on JJ, but I really hope

0:40:11.640 --> 0:40:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Lebron leaves Man. And here's the other thing. They fired

0:40:17.120 --> 0:40:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Darvinham six weeks ago, Buddy, they still don't have a coach.

0:40:21.160 --> 0:40:24.880
<v Speaker 2>The draft is in two weeks, free agency opens in

0:40:25.000 --> 0:40:33.359
<v Speaker 2>three weeks. They don't have a coach. It's remarkable, It's

0:40:33.520 --> 0:40:36.560
<v Speaker 2>absolutely remarkable. Go ahead, what'd you want to say?

0:40:38.560 --> 0:40:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Do you think this is anything more than a leverage

0:40:41.120 --> 0:40:44.520
<v Speaker 3>play by Hurley? Or as you like, there's that side

0:40:44.520 --> 0:40:46.400
<v Speaker 3>of it, or as you kind of extension.

0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Here's what I know. Somehow the Lakers got publicly associated

0:40:53.800 --> 0:40:57.000
<v Speaker 2>with Jason Kidd, even though he has a better job

0:40:57.120 --> 0:41:01.040
<v Speaker 2>for a better organization, and that ended with Kid getting

0:41:01.200 --> 0:41:05.160
<v Speaker 2>a rais and an extension. Somehow, the Lakers got publicly

0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:09.120
<v Speaker 2>associated with Tylu even though he has a higher paying

0:41:09.280 --> 0:41:12.640
<v Speaker 2>job for the richest owner in sports, and that ended

0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:17.360
<v Speaker 2>with Tylu getting an extension and a raise. Somehow he

0:41:17.480 --> 0:41:20.480
<v Speaker 2>got the Lakers got associated with Dan Hurley, and that

0:41:20.800 --> 0:41:24.000
<v Speaker 2>ended with Dan Hurley getting a raised in an extension.

0:41:25.480 --> 0:41:33.000
<v Speaker 2>People can draw whatever conclusions they want. Everyone thinks that

0:41:33.200 --> 0:41:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Caitlin Clark discourse is uncomfortable. Now give it like another

0:41:39.239 --> 0:41:42.960
<v Speaker 2>two days. We'll discuss why plus do a little tennis

0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:52.279
<v Speaker 2>corner with my Guy Alcarez. Next, What's Right? Welcome back

0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:54.640
<v Speaker 2>in What's Right? With Nick Right? This is so perfect.

0:41:54.920 --> 0:41:57.840
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Christian McCaffrey's going to be on the

0:41:57.880 --> 0:42:02.560
<v Speaker 2>cover of Madden. Good for him. I obviously have a

0:42:02.640 --> 0:42:04.760
<v Speaker 2>different candidate that I think would have made.

0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:08.080
<v Speaker 3>A little more ago three years ago.

0:42:09.480 --> 0:42:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes, What about Travis Kelcey, I don't know, maybe the

0:42:13.680 --> 0:42:16.600
<v Speaker 2>most famous football player, who's the greatest tight end ever.

0:42:16.680 --> 0:42:19.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Probably some more units. Guys, listen to

0:42:19.360 --> 0:42:21.200
<v Speaker 2>EA Sports. I'm not telling you I'll do your business.

0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:23.120
<v Speaker 2>But if you want to sell units to people who

0:42:23.200 --> 0:42:26.319
<v Speaker 2>will never even open the game, maybe throw Travis kels

0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:30.399
<v Speaker 2>just an idea, just thought it could be a good

0:42:30.480 --> 0:42:34.600
<v Speaker 2>marketing idea. Maybe throw Travis kelce on the cover. It's

0:42:34.800 --> 0:42:36.719
<v Speaker 2>just listen. I'm not I'm not here to tell you

0:42:36.760 --> 0:42:39.640
<v Speaker 2>guys how to do your business. Uh, but go ahead

0:42:39.640 --> 0:42:43.600
<v Speaker 2>and put Christian McCaffrey on there. That's fine. Rich so

0:42:43.719 --> 0:42:47.800
<v Speaker 2>many has this is Gabe here today? I want Gabe's

0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:52.320
<v Speaker 2>live reaction if he's here today. No, no Gabe today,

0:42:52.360 --> 0:42:59.080
<v Speaker 2>that's fine. Gabees are resident Jets fan. Aaron Rodgers not

0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:04.040
<v Speaker 2>attending Mini camp and it is not an excused absence,

0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:09.279
<v Speaker 2>therefore he's subject to being fined. Sola said Rogers had

0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:13.840
<v Speaker 2>a previous engagement, an event that is quote important to

0:43:13.960 --> 0:43:19.160
<v Speaker 2>him end quote. This is no Ta's This isn't the

0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:23.080
<v Speaker 2>optional part of the off season. This is the Jets

0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:30.560
<v Speaker 2>mandatory mini camp and Aaron Rodgers something you know had

0:43:30.600 --> 0:43:36.359
<v Speaker 2>are not something came up, not a family emergency which

0:43:36.600 --> 0:43:41.000
<v Speaker 2>any could happen to anybody. Oh man, I'm double booked.

0:43:42.120 --> 0:43:46.520
<v Speaker 2>The old I'm double booked. What am I gonna? I got?

0:43:47.080 --> 0:43:50.799
<v Speaker 2>I was double booked. Uh, you know the A few

0:43:50.880 --> 0:43:54.600
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago, I had a I had a charity event

0:43:54.680 --> 0:43:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I needed to do, and I needed to go to

0:43:57.080 --> 0:44:00.960
<v Speaker 2>the premiere of the Black Twitter uh documentary that my

0:44:01.080 --> 0:44:04.640
<v Speaker 2>friend Princess Penny created. Shout out to Prentice, great guy,

0:44:05.200 --> 0:44:08.880
<v Speaker 2>creator of Insecure, created the Black Twitter documentary on Hulu.

0:44:09.560 --> 0:44:11.920
<v Speaker 2>And I was sick to my stomach that I was

0:44:12.000 --> 0:44:14.840
<v Speaker 2>double booked, and I had to reach out to Prentice

0:44:14.840 --> 0:44:18.239
<v Speaker 2>and say, I can't be there. My wife can go.

0:44:18.800 --> 0:44:21.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, she was gonna go anyway. She's she can

0:44:21.640 --> 0:44:24.360
<v Speaker 2>go and bring and bring someone kind of you know,

0:44:24.520 --> 0:44:28.360
<v Speaker 2>represent on our behalf because I'm committed to a charity

0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:31.520
<v Speaker 2>event that I you know, I had to, and Prentice

0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:35.160
<v Speaker 2>understood because he's a great guy. That sometimes you're double

0:44:35.200 --> 0:44:38.879
<v Speaker 2>booked and it forces you to choose either what's most

0:44:38.960 --> 0:44:45.120
<v Speaker 2>important or where you're most needed. Aaron Rodgers is double

0:44:45.239 --> 0:44:51.560
<v Speaker 2>booked with the team that pays him forty million to

0:44:52.000 --> 0:44:54.680
<v Speaker 2>lead them to a super Bowl, that he's played three

0:44:54.760 --> 0:44:59.640
<v Speaker 2>snaps of NFL football for their mandate first mandatory event

0:44:59.719 --> 0:45:04.520
<v Speaker 2>of the off season, and something else, and thus something

0:45:04.640 --> 0:45:12.400
<v Speaker 2>else took priority. Okay, I mean, okay, do what you

0:45:12.440 --> 0:45:15.320
<v Speaker 2>want with that information. But that is what it is.

0:45:15.520 --> 0:45:20.239
<v Speaker 3>Could it could be something it's like super important. I

0:45:20.280 --> 0:45:21.800
<v Speaker 3>wonder if it'll ever come out what it is.

0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:27.080
<v Speaker 2>But uh, here's the thing. I would be much more

0:45:27.280 --> 0:45:32.560
<v Speaker 2>careful with how I discussed this if it were an

0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:36.719
<v Speaker 2>unexplained absence, because then you don't know if you know

0:45:36.920 --> 0:45:38.880
<v Speaker 2>someone's in a hospital something, you know what I mean,

0:45:39.280 --> 0:45:39.600
<v Speaker 2>don't you know?

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Because the explanation is it's something that's very important to me.

0:45:43.200 --> 0:45:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Had a Robert Salas said, quote, Rogers had a previous

0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:54.960
<v Speaker 2>engagement an event that is important to him. I mean,

0:45:55.040 --> 0:45:57.680
<v Speaker 2>what more do I need to know? What more do

0:45:57.760 --> 0:46:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I need to know? It's not an excused apps. So

0:46:01.080 --> 0:46:05.040
<v Speaker 2>it's not birth of a child. It's not last second

0:46:05.200 --> 0:46:10.919
<v Speaker 2>came up, so an emergency. It's June eleventh. I knew

0:46:10.960 --> 0:46:13.400
<v Speaker 2>I had something going on. I shouldn't have committed to that.

0:46:13.920 --> 0:46:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh what else did you have going on?

0:46:15.239 --> 0:46:15.359
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:46:15.440 --> 0:46:18.239
<v Speaker 2>Mandatory mini camp for the team. I'm the quarterback of that.

0:46:18.360 --> 0:46:21.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about how I'm gonna be the leader. Okay,

0:46:21.280 --> 0:46:26.120
<v Speaker 2>all right, cool, let's see how this works out, all right, Demonse,

0:46:26.520 --> 0:46:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk Caitlyn Clark.

0:46:29.760 --> 0:46:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So, the the Olympic roster was released and there

0:46:32.760 --> 0:46:36.320
<v Speaker 3>was one notable emission in there, and that is Caitlyn Clark.

0:46:37.000 --> 0:46:40.080
<v Speaker 3>She says that she's using the snub as motivation. And

0:46:40.440 --> 0:46:42.920
<v Speaker 3>my question to you is, if you were in charge

0:46:42.920 --> 0:46:45.320
<v Speaker 3>of Team of USA, would you put Caitlyn Clark on

0:46:45.480 --> 0:46:45.839
<v Speaker 3>the team.

0:46:48.440 --> 0:46:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe? So, I don't think this is simple, Mike, can

0:46:55.000 --> 0:46:58.439
<v Speaker 2>I Can I guess your take Demonse real quick before

0:46:58.480 --> 0:47:01.239
<v Speaker 2>I I before we do it, and I guess yours.

0:47:01.000 --> 0:47:02.799
<v Speaker 3>And you tell me if I'm right on my take

0:47:02.880 --> 0:47:04.560
<v Speaker 3>on like if she like if I would put her

0:47:04.600 --> 0:47:07.680
<v Speaker 3>on the team. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:47:09.160 --> 0:47:13.520
<v Speaker 2>I think your take is she's not yet one of

0:47:13.560 --> 0:47:16.960
<v Speaker 2>the twelve best players. She's gonna have plenty of Olympics

0:47:17.040 --> 0:47:19.960
<v Speaker 2>in the future. She would be taking a roster spot

0:47:20.000 --> 0:47:24.200
<v Speaker 2>from someone else, and being famous doesn't mean you are

0:47:24.440 --> 0:47:29.400
<v Speaker 2>deserved Olympian yet. So this is not a controversy, is that,

0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:32.919
<v Speaker 2>am I? I should have just let you give your take. Really,

0:47:32.960 --> 0:47:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, but I wanted to see correctly. Oh okay, but.

0:47:38.239 --> 0:47:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was, it was.

0:47:39.640 --> 0:47:39.880
<v Speaker 4>It was.

0:47:40.320 --> 0:47:44.680
<v Speaker 3>It's not super far from that, but but yeah, I mean,

0:47:45.239 --> 0:47:47.040
<v Speaker 3>I think I would have put her on the team.

0:47:49.040 --> 0:47:51.920
<v Speaker 3>You would of her, wouldn't I would have put her

0:47:51.920 --> 0:47:52.319
<v Speaker 3>on the team.

0:47:52.840 --> 0:47:53.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean.

0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:57.800
<v Speaker 3>But that's let me be honest. I'm not super in

0:47:57.920 --> 0:48:00.359
<v Speaker 3>tune with all that. I know a few of NBA

0:48:00.440 --> 0:48:02.759
<v Speaker 3>stars that are that are up there. I don't know

0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:05.759
<v Speaker 3>eleven girls that are better than her yep at the moment.

0:48:05.840 --> 0:48:07.320
<v Speaker 3>But that's just that's just me.

0:48:07.560 --> 0:48:09.600
<v Speaker 2>That's because you're not locked into the league, which is

0:48:09.680 --> 0:48:12.800
<v Speaker 2>totally fine. So, but you're you're so I so I

0:48:12.960 --> 0:48:15.319
<v Speaker 2>just guessed wrong about where you were leaning you were

0:48:15.400 --> 0:48:17.919
<v Speaker 2>leaning of. It's not like she's a bad player. She's

0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:21.520
<v Speaker 2>obviously a really good player, and she would bring eyeballs

0:48:21.560 --> 0:48:26.360
<v Speaker 2>to it. Here's the here's here's why. Let me back up.

0:48:27.000 --> 0:48:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Here's why it's going to get ugly. If it's not

0:48:30.200 --> 0:48:33.920
<v Speaker 2>already ugly, it's going to get ugly because this is

0:48:34.000 --> 0:48:41.040
<v Speaker 2>about to jump into the worst parts of American politics

0:48:41.120 --> 0:48:48.880
<v Speaker 2>there are. Because unfortunately, some of our most craven politicians

0:48:49.960 --> 0:48:58.239
<v Speaker 2>have seized on this as a white grievance, as all

0:48:59.360 --> 0:49:03.800
<v Speaker 2>this poor white girl being picked on in this black league,

0:49:04.520 --> 0:49:09.040
<v Speaker 2>and Nikki Haley, who might be the next Vice president

0:49:09.080 --> 0:49:13.640
<v Speaker 2>of the United States, tweeted this. Let me get this straight.

0:49:14.400 --> 0:49:17.520
<v Speaker 2>No player on the Olympic team has scored more three

0:49:17.640 --> 0:49:20.960
<v Speaker 2>pointers this year in the WNBA than Caitlin Clark. Tell

0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:23.160
<v Speaker 2>me you don't know anything about sports, without telling me

0:49:23.200 --> 0:49:26.400
<v Speaker 2>you don't know anything about sports, rather than saying scored

0:49:26.520 --> 0:49:30.000
<v Speaker 2>more three pointers. Only one woman on the Olympic team

0:49:30.360 --> 0:49:33.400
<v Speaker 2>has more assists than Clark, and the US is not

0:49:33.480 --> 0:49:36.000
<v Speaker 2>gonna include her on the Olympic team. I think the

0:49:36.080 --> 0:49:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Olympic selection committee should be asked, do we want the

0:49:38.640 --> 0:49:42.000
<v Speaker 2>best team to represent our country or not? Okay, if

0:49:42.080 --> 0:49:45.520
<v Speaker 2>it is purely have the best team, she doesn't deserve

0:49:45.600 --> 0:49:50.440
<v Speaker 2>to be there. However, there is a legitimate argument that

0:49:50.600 --> 0:49:53.960
<v Speaker 2>that is not what the Olympic team is actually because

0:49:54.800 --> 0:49:59.640
<v Speaker 2>if it's purely to have the best team, Diana Tarazzi's

0:49:59.640 --> 0:50:02.560
<v Speaker 2>not one of the twelve best players now. Diana doing

0:50:02.640 --> 0:50:06.560
<v Speaker 2>what she's doing at forty two is remarkable. She might

0:50:06.680 --> 0:50:10.760
<v Speaker 2>be the greatest player ever. And much like Caitlin her numbers.

0:50:11.239 --> 0:50:14.000
<v Speaker 2>She averages the exact same number of points, the exact

0:50:14.000 --> 0:50:16.600
<v Speaker 2>same number of rebounds, on the exact same field goal

0:50:16.640 --> 0:50:20.720
<v Speaker 2>percentage as Caitlin. Now, she's one assist and one turnover

0:50:20.800 --> 0:50:24.000
<v Speaker 2>a game and Caitlyn is six assists and five turnovers

0:50:24.040 --> 0:50:27.560
<v Speaker 2>a game. So call that almost a wash, But statistically

0:50:28.120 --> 0:50:33.239
<v Speaker 2>they're almost identical. Diana got a legacy spot and leadership

0:50:33.320 --> 0:50:36.200
<v Speaker 2>as well. I'm fine with it, just like I would

0:50:36.239 --> 0:50:39.960
<v Speaker 2>have been fine with them saying Caitlin's super famous and

0:50:40.239 --> 0:50:43.319
<v Speaker 2>she's a good player, let's put her on there. I'm

0:50:43.360 --> 0:50:45.600
<v Speaker 2>also fine with them saying we don't want to take

0:50:45.600 --> 0:50:48.680
<v Speaker 2>a spot from someone else. I actually think there is

0:50:48.760 --> 0:50:51.840
<v Speaker 2>a totally reasonable argument on both sides of this. I

0:50:52.040 --> 0:50:56.879
<v Speaker 2>also think this whole oh my god, squandered opportunity, think

0:50:56.960 --> 0:50:59.520
<v Speaker 2>of all the eyeballs that would have been there, is

0:50:59.680 --> 0:51:03.680
<v Speaker 2>miss guided because she wouldn't have been playing that much.

0:51:04.320 --> 0:51:09.080
<v Speaker 2>And if folks are only watching to watch Caitlyn. If

0:51:09.120 --> 0:51:12.560
<v Speaker 2>they turn on the game and Caitlyn isn't starting and

0:51:12.719 --> 0:51:14.759
<v Speaker 2>isn't the first sub off the bench, and we go

0:51:14.880 --> 0:51:17.400
<v Speaker 2>the whole first quarter and she doesn't play, they're turning

0:51:17.440 --> 0:51:20.200
<v Speaker 2>it off anyway. So I think it would have had

0:51:20.320 --> 0:51:24.040
<v Speaker 2>more media coverage, But there's a push and a pull

0:51:24.120 --> 0:51:27.000
<v Speaker 2>to that media coverage. That media coverage would have been

0:51:27.640 --> 0:51:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Caitlyn almost exclusive. So I don't think it's simple. I

0:51:33.120 --> 0:51:38.120
<v Speaker 2>actually think this one's complicated. I also think that the

0:51:38.400 --> 0:51:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Christine Brennan article where a couple people from USA Basketball

0:51:42.960 --> 0:51:46.160
<v Speaker 2>said that one of the reasons she's not on the

0:51:46.280 --> 0:51:49.279
<v Speaker 2>team is because they didn't want to deal with the

0:51:49.400 --> 0:51:53.200
<v Speaker 2>blowback from her millions of fans being pissed she's not

0:51:53.400 --> 0:51:56.920
<v Speaker 2>playing more is one of the most ridiculous rationales I've

0:51:56.960 --> 0:52:00.760
<v Speaker 2>ever heard. That is once again folks pretending like Twitter

0:52:00.920 --> 0:52:06.480
<v Speaker 2>is real life. These the Olympics are in Paris. What

0:52:06.680 --> 0:52:10.360
<v Speaker 2>the hell do you care about what someone tweets from Indiana?

0:52:11.280 --> 0:52:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Like you're like, oh, we don't want to deal with it.

0:52:13.000 --> 0:52:17.480
<v Speaker 2>What are you dealing with your mentions? Like, honestly, do

0:52:17.640 --> 0:52:21.680
<v Speaker 2>you think folks today, Caitlin Clark fans are gonna fly

0:52:21.920 --> 0:52:26.760
<v Speaker 2>to Paris in August and cause upheaval the Olympic Games

0:52:26.760 --> 0:52:30.640
<v Speaker 2>because she's not getting run. Just a dumb argument, like

0:52:30.760 --> 0:52:34.040
<v Speaker 2>what are we talking about? Everyone is scared of mean tweets,

0:52:34.520 --> 0:52:37.760
<v Speaker 2>so that was I thought that was foolish. I also

0:52:38.040 --> 0:52:42.359
<v Speaker 2>think anyone and this is where I'm going to make

0:52:43.440 --> 0:52:48.239
<v Speaker 2>all of my colleagues mad, because colleagues I greatly respect

0:52:50.320 --> 0:52:54.120
<v Speaker 2>are diametrically opposed on this issue, and I think they're

0:52:54.200 --> 0:52:58.560
<v Speaker 2>both crazy. I think that if you get on TV

0:52:58.800 --> 0:53:06.040
<v Speaker 2>and say it is absurd to even consider putting her

0:53:06.120 --> 0:53:09.319
<v Speaker 2>on the team, here are the twenty women who are

0:53:09.440 --> 0:53:12.600
<v Speaker 2>better than her. It is simply about the best twelve

0:53:12.760 --> 0:53:17.200
<v Speaker 2>person roster and this shouldn't even be a debate. I

0:53:17.440 --> 0:53:23.360
<v Speaker 2>think that is being a little disingenuous, especially with Diana's inclusion,

0:53:23.440 --> 0:53:27.759
<v Speaker 2>and especially because we've won the gold seven Olympics in

0:53:27.840 --> 0:53:30.440
<v Speaker 2>a row. It would be twelve in a row. But

0:53:30.520 --> 0:53:33.920
<v Speaker 2>there was one year in ninety two that the Soviet

0:53:34.080 --> 0:53:38.239
<v Speaker 2>Union fake reformed and they had like eleven countries represented

0:53:38.320 --> 0:53:40.600
<v Speaker 2>on one team and they beat us, or they won

0:53:40.680 --> 0:53:44.640
<v Speaker 2>the gold. We win every year by twenty points. We

0:53:44.800 --> 0:53:48.640
<v Speaker 2>weren't gonna risk the gold by having the league's twenty

0:53:48.719 --> 0:53:51.120
<v Speaker 2>third best player instead of the twelve best player. So

0:53:51.239 --> 0:53:54.560
<v Speaker 2>that's first of all. I also think that if you

0:53:54.640 --> 0:53:58.440
<v Speaker 2>go on TV and say, oh my god, what an

0:53:58.600 --> 0:54:01.719
<v Speaker 2>idiotic decision to put her on the team, what a

0:54:02.000 --> 0:54:06.719
<v Speaker 2>massively missed opportunity, squandered attention, I think you're being a

0:54:06.760 --> 0:54:10.600
<v Speaker 2>little disingenuous on how much attention it would it would Garner,

0:54:11.160 --> 0:54:17.800
<v Speaker 2>and that there are real consequences of giving a roster

0:54:17.920 --> 0:54:20.120
<v Speaker 2>spot to someone and taking it away from someone else.

0:54:21.239 --> 0:54:26.080
<v Speaker 2>So I actually think this is nuanced. Unfortunately, here's my prediction.

0:54:28.840 --> 0:54:33.759
<v Speaker 2>At a White House press conference, probably the doucy guy

0:54:33.840 --> 0:54:37.160
<v Speaker 2>from Fox News, but maybe someone else is going to

0:54:37.360 --> 0:54:41.040
<v Speaker 2>ask the White House spokesperson, does the President have a

0:54:41.320 --> 0:54:47.160
<v Speaker 2>comment on Caitlyn Clark. They're going to say no. And

0:54:47.480 --> 0:54:55.239
<v Speaker 2>then in the next thirty days, Caitlin Clark's name is

0:54:55.400 --> 0:54:59.280
<v Speaker 2>going to be an applause line at a Donald Trump rally.

0:55:00.200 --> 0:55:03.040
<v Speaker 2>And this young lady didn't ask for that, and she

0:55:03.200 --> 0:55:07.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't deserve it. But there is a segment of a

0:55:07.480 --> 0:55:10.400
<v Speaker 2>and I am not saying this about Caitlin Clark fans,

0:55:10.520 --> 0:55:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I promise you I am not. But there is a

0:55:13.239 --> 0:55:18.160
<v Speaker 2>segment of America that if there is an opportunity to

0:55:19.320 --> 0:55:25.480
<v Speaker 2>take ostensibly the white athlete side against the big, mean,

0:55:25.600 --> 0:55:29.600
<v Speaker 2>bullying black athletes, they will seize to that like moths

0:55:29.680 --> 0:55:37.160
<v Speaker 2>to a flame. And there are craven, uh disingenuous politicians

0:55:37.480 --> 0:55:40.520
<v Speaker 2>that are going to use her as a cudgel in

0:55:40.760 --> 0:55:45.680
<v Speaker 2>our never ending culture war. And I think this Caitlin

0:55:45.719 --> 0:55:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Clerk conversation is just going to get uglier and uglier.

0:55:50.440 --> 0:55:54.440
<v Speaker 2>I feel badly for Caitlin. I feel badly for the

0:55:54.520 --> 0:55:58.880
<v Speaker 2>women that have helped build the WNBA that are seeing

0:55:59.000 --> 0:56:03.480
<v Speaker 2>this what could be a great moment consistently hijacked. And

0:56:03.640 --> 0:56:05.960
<v Speaker 2>I just think it's gonna get worse and worse. And

0:56:06.239 --> 0:56:09.040
<v Speaker 2>by the way, she's an alternate, she's one of the

0:56:09.120 --> 0:56:17.279
<v Speaker 2>first alternates. And if she gets picked and a goon

0:56:17.360 --> 0:56:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Ba Wale from the Dallas Wings does not, when she's

0:56:22.320 --> 0:56:27.279
<v Speaker 2>averaging twenty six, five and six, and you know it

0:56:27.280 --> 0:56:29.440
<v Speaker 2>has been one of the best players in the whole

0:56:29.520 --> 0:56:33.440
<v Speaker 2>league this year, it's gonna get even worse. Man, So

0:56:34.880 --> 0:56:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I am pessimistic about our Caitlyn Clark conversations moving forward.

0:56:42.239 --> 0:56:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh So I'm on the record on all of it.

0:56:46.040 --> 0:56:49.640
<v Speaker 2>We'll see how it turns out one sidebar thing. This

0:56:49.840 --> 0:56:54.000
<v Speaker 2>is actually good for Caitlin the basketball player. A month off,

0:56:55.680 --> 0:56:58.799
<v Speaker 2>A month off, not in the spotlight the team, if

0:56:58.840 --> 0:57:00.600
<v Speaker 2>you I don't know, if you guys notice last week

0:57:00.640 --> 0:57:03.279
<v Speaker 2>when I saw them out of their brutal schedule, they

0:57:03.320 --> 0:57:05.440
<v Speaker 2>then had four days off and she dropped a thirty

0:57:05.480 --> 0:57:08.440
<v Speaker 2>piece in her next game. She played poorly this weekend,

0:57:08.760 --> 0:57:11.240
<v Speaker 2>but they have no more back to backs, the schedule

0:57:11.360 --> 0:57:15.000
<v Speaker 2>softens up massively and she will end up being more fresh,

0:57:15.400 --> 0:57:17.600
<v Speaker 2>more rested, and play well at the end of the year.

0:57:17.920 --> 0:57:20.600
<v Speaker 2>And I think the fever to twelve to the fevers

0:57:20.640 --> 0:57:23.920
<v Speaker 2>records terrible. But twelve team league and eight of them

0:57:23.960 --> 0:57:26.480
<v Speaker 2>make the playoffs, so you don't have to have a

0:57:26.520 --> 0:57:28.960
<v Speaker 2>great record to make the playoffs. I think they could

0:57:28.960 --> 0:57:32.440
<v Speaker 2>squeeze into the playoffs. I also didn't like her coach yesterday,

0:57:32.480 --> 0:57:34.840
<v Speaker 2>coming out yesterday saying our team doesn't try hard enough.

0:57:35.280 --> 0:57:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Like that, whenever the coach is like, can't coach effort?

0:57:38.120 --> 0:57:41.160
<v Speaker 2>A coach knows their seats getting a little hot. All right,

0:57:41.240 --> 0:57:43.400
<v Speaker 2>let's talk tennis for a moment, demanse.

0:57:45.000 --> 0:57:49.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So on Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Alexander Zverev to

0:57:49.240 --> 0:57:52.600
<v Speaker 3>win the French Open. At twenty one, Alcarez became the

0:57:52.680 --> 0:57:55.400
<v Speaker 3>youngest player to win a Grand Slam on all three surfaces.

0:57:56.160 --> 0:57:59.240
<v Speaker 2>What do the dog gets, demanse? What are the three s?

0:58:00.240 --> 0:58:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Clay gass, right, yep. Yeah, and there's clay grass.

0:58:09.720 --> 0:58:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Just just just called hard concrete, concrete, yeah, hardcourt. Yeah,

0:58:15.080 --> 0:58:17.320
<v Speaker 2>we'll give it to you. You got the two harder ones.

0:58:17.400 --> 0:58:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Good job? Is he tennis car corner? You thought it

0:58:20.280 --> 0:58:23.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't gonna get anything in there? What are the four majors?

0:58:23.080 --> 0:58:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you know? What are the four majors?

0:58:26.800 --> 0:58:32.520
<v Speaker 3>Major? What are they called? French Open? Yes, the Grand Slam.

0:58:33.680 --> 0:58:35.800
<v Speaker 2>No, that's one of the Grand Slams. They're all four.

0:58:35.960 --> 0:58:38.280
<v Speaker 2>There are four Grand Slams.

0:58:38.040 --> 0:58:40.720
<v Speaker 3>The French Open, the US Open, yep.

0:58:40.840 --> 0:58:47.320
<v Speaker 2>And one other location, yes, and the last one, the

0:58:47.440 --> 0:58:50.520
<v Speaker 2>one where we talk about strawberries and cream and we

0:58:50.680 --> 0:58:53.560
<v Speaker 2>use accents and we talk about the All England.

0:58:53.400 --> 0:58:57.520
<v Speaker 3>British Open, and it's on grass, British British Open, wimbled that's.

0:58:57.360 --> 0:59:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Golf, Wimbledon, Wimbledon. There there you go, You're there, We're

0:59:01.360 --> 0:59:01.600
<v Speaker 2>in there.

0:59:01.680 --> 0:59:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, as you were with the all getting bounced

0:59:06.240 --> 0:59:09.000
<v Speaker 3>early and Yokovic getting hurt was the Was this the

0:59:09.080 --> 0:59:10.439
<v Speaker 3>official passing of the torch?

0:59:11.400 --> 0:59:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we man there was this time when Federer. I mean,

0:59:17.760 --> 0:59:19.400
<v Speaker 2>this is where I wrote, going from federal at all,

0:59:19.440 --> 0:59:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Djokovic right in Nicolosaker as truly sublime. What a brilliant

0:59:23.000 --> 0:59:25.520
<v Speaker 2>talent this kid is. I was watching this live on

0:59:25.600 --> 0:59:28.440
<v Speaker 2>my computer on the train to Boston. I mean, he's

0:59:28.520 --> 0:59:32.439
<v Speaker 2>unbelievable and at twenty one years old, doing what he's

0:59:32.560 --> 0:59:38.280
<v Speaker 2>doing and already having this resume is I mean, just

0:59:39.200 --> 0:59:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't I don't think unprecedented is a fair word,

0:59:43.480 --> 0:59:49.360
<v Speaker 2>but he's bordering up against unprecedented. And so in twenty

0:59:49.480 --> 0:59:52.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty two he won the US Open. I was there

0:59:52.400 --> 0:59:54.240
<v Speaker 2>for the no, I was there for to see him

0:59:54.280 --> 0:59:56.959
<v Speaker 2>losing the semis the next year. So once he really

0:59:57.040 --> 1:00:04.360
<v Speaker 2>got rolling was the US Open in twenty Okay, here's

1:00:04.440 --> 1:00:07.840
<v Speaker 2>what he did has done since then. Didn't play in

1:00:07.880 --> 1:00:10.800
<v Speaker 2>the Australian Open in twenty twenty three, then made the

1:00:10.920 --> 1:00:14.840
<v Speaker 2>semis of the French last year, won Wimbledon last year

1:00:15.160 --> 1:00:17.360
<v Speaker 2>when the semis of the U or sorry, lost in

1:00:17.400 --> 1:00:19.200
<v Speaker 2>the semis of the US Open last year. I was

1:00:19.280 --> 1:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>at that the Australian this year made it to the

1:00:22.120 --> 1:00:25.960
<v Speaker 2>quarters and then he won the French. So in his

1:00:26.200 --> 1:00:32.080
<v Speaker 2>last six majors he has won three, lost in the

1:00:32.120 --> 1:00:35.600
<v Speaker 2>semis twice and lost in the quarters once. He's gotta

1:00:35.640 --> 1:00:38.080
<v Speaker 2>be the favorite at Wimbledon. He's, well, he's gonna be

1:00:38.080 --> 1:00:40.680
<v Speaker 2>the favorite and everything. I'm gonna get to watch him

1:00:40.720 --> 1:00:43.400
<v Speaker 2>at the US Open this year. I can't wait.

1:00:44.120 --> 1:00:46.280
<v Speaker 4>And so he is.

1:00:47.040 --> 1:00:50.360
<v Speaker 2>He's on one hell of a pace man and he

1:00:50.520 --> 1:00:55.360
<v Speaker 2>has a lot of youngest ever records and this last

1:00:55.480 --> 1:00:58.480
<v Speaker 2>one is the most notable win a Grand Slam on

1:00:58.560 --> 1:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>the three different services. It's on believable. All right, demanse Uh,

1:01:02.520 --> 1:01:05.880
<v Speaker 2>let's move on to the last topic and then we'll

1:01:06.040 --> 1:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>get in to our f one minute.

1:01:09.160 --> 1:01:11.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so Lamar Jackson was not a huge fan of

1:01:11.680 --> 1:01:13.439
<v Speaker 3>you leaving him out of the top five.

1:01:14.680 --> 1:01:18.760
<v Speaker 2>You tweeted tu and he said, yeah, we can show you.

1:01:18.960 --> 1:01:20.240
<v Speaker 2>You can show you the first tweet.

1:01:21.080 --> 1:01:21.240
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

1:01:21.880 --> 1:01:25.240
<v Speaker 2>He said, I don't even know. Uh, I don't even

1:01:25.320 --> 1:01:27.520
<v Speaker 2>know buddy. Or what what did you do to buddy?

1:01:27.560 --> 1:01:29.640
<v Speaker 2>The guy asked, said, I don't even know you. I

1:01:29.680 --> 1:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>don't even know dude. I mean his thing. He's been

1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:37.360
<v Speaker 2>on the TV show maybe he didn't recognize me. I

1:01:37.440 --> 1:01:40.680
<v Speaker 2>don't know, but that wasn't really the problem tweet. The

1:01:40.760 --> 1:01:43.200
<v Speaker 2>problem tweet was then, you know, he sent out a

1:01:43.240 --> 1:01:45.880
<v Speaker 2>picture of some type of monkey that I don't know

1:01:45.960 --> 1:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>what type of monkey it is, but it's the monkey

1:01:47.560 --> 1:01:49.840
<v Speaker 2>with the real long nose, and it's about me. So

1:01:51.000 --> 1:01:56.520
<v Speaker 2>such his life. I root for Lamar. I I'm just

1:01:56.680 --> 1:01:59.600
<v Speaker 2>honest that he's not one of the five quarterbacks that

1:01:59.640 --> 1:02:01.840
<v Speaker 2>I could pick if I were starting a team. He's not.

1:02:02.200 --> 1:02:06.919
<v Speaker 2>He's not one of them. Here is the best part

1:02:08.080 --> 1:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>of It's a what probiscus monkeys? Proboscis? Okay, whatever it is.

1:02:15.240 --> 1:02:18.960
<v Speaker 2>That's what he tweeted a picture of that. Here is

1:02:19.080 --> 1:02:24.120
<v Speaker 2>what I love about this so much. The clip that

1:02:24.800 --> 1:02:30.040
<v Speaker 2>went viral of me doing my top five mid so

1:02:30.400 --> 1:02:35.160
<v Speaker 2>it's chopped up and midway through that discussion of top

1:02:35.240 --> 1:02:42.240
<v Speaker 2>five quarterbacks, somehow our sunglasses conversation came up and Demanse

1:02:42.520 --> 1:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>was handed pit vipers, those silly like baseball player sunglasses.

1:02:48.280 --> 1:02:51.360
<v Speaker 2>So in this clip that has now been viewed millions

1:02:51.440 --> 1:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>of times, Demanse and I are talking quarterbacks. I'm doing

1:02:55.760 --> 1:03:00.600
<v Speaker 2>my ranking. Demanse pushes back. I respond, Demanse then pushes

1:03:00.640 --> 1:03:03.600
<v Speaker 2>back again, and that third time it goes to Demanse

1:03:04.080 --> 1:03:10.000
<v Speaker 2>without explanation, totally straight faced. He's wearing these sunglasses, and

1:03:10.120 --> 1:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>it just is such a hilarious situation where we're just

1:03:14.640 --> 1:03:18.600
<v Speaker 2>doing quarterback rankings and then for no reason mid segment,

1:03:18.640 --> 1:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>it looks like Demanse put on a pair of the

1:03:21.080 --> 1:03:26.000
<v Speaker 2>world's worse sunglasses, and I just love it. Brings me

1:03:26.280 --> 1:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>so much joy to Monse. Knowing that Lamar Jackson was

1:03:31.200 --> 1:03:34.320
<v Speaker 2>sitting at his phone one day and saw a clip

1:03:34.520 --> 1:03:39.360
<v Speaker 2>involving you where you're all of a sudden wearing those sunglasses,

1:03:40.000 --> 1:03:42.400
<v Speaker 2>it just legitimately makes me happy.

1:03:43.680 --> 1:03:45.880
<v Speaker 3>We don't mention anything about it, and it is like

1:03:46.160 --> 1:03:48.960
<v Speaker 3>straight on pace and we're still talking exactly.

1:03:48.640 --> 1:03:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Because it's chopped up. There's no acknowledgment, there's no anything.

1:03:52.520 --> 1:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>It's just all of a sudden, you go from looking

1:03:55.200 --> 1:03:58.680
<v Speaker 2>normal to wearing these sunglasses. Makes me so happy. We

1:03:58.800 --> 1:04:01.640
<v Speaker 2>had an F one race this weekend, which means we

1:04:01.680 --> 1:04:05.880
<v Speaker 2>have our first ever F one recap minute with Sierra Fedel.

1:04:06.000 --> 1:04:14.560
<v Speaker 2>That's next plus your questions What's right? All right? Welcome

1:04:14.640 --> 1:04:18.160
<v Speaker 2>back in What's Right with Nick Wright. So as we

1:04:18.280 --> 1:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>are doing now our F one correspondent Sierra Fidel. If

1:04:22.520 --> 1:04:24.680
<v Speaker 2>there is a race that weekend, she will give us

1:04:24.720 --> 1:04:27.680
<v Speaker 2>a preview on Thursday and then a recap on Tuesday.

1:04:28.760 --> 1:04:31.080
<v Speaker 2>I tried to watch the race from my hotel room

1:04:31.120 --> 1:04:33.840
<v Speaker 2>in Boston. I was not able to do it. It

1:04:34.000 --> 1:04:37.080
<v Speaker 2>wasn't on any of the channels that we had in Boston.

1:04:37.120 --> 1:04:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Before I went to the game, I did. I do

1:04:40.120 --> 1:04:44.440
<v Speaker 2>know Max verststap in one. I also know that Sierra's

1:04:44.520 --> 1:04:47.440
<v Speaker 2>notes from the last time were again not to be

1:04:47.480 --> 1:04:51.280
<v Speaker 2>afraid to show personality, to give real predictions. I don't

1:04:51.280 --> 1:04:53.520
<v Speaker 2>know how much predictions will work in a recap, and

1:04:53.840 --> 1:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>I told her that last time her background was a

1:04:57.680 --> 1:05:01.840
<v Speaker 2>little too empty. I have not seen this yet. We

1:05:01.920 --> 1:05:03.840
<v Speaker 2>will see it. I'm told it's about two and a

1:05:03.840 --> 1:05:06.960
<v Speaker 2>half minutes long, a real race recap. Oh, I'm now

1:05:07.000 --> 1:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>seeing a preview.

1:05:08.080 --> 1:05:08.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh.

1:05:08.360 --> 1:05:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Not only had she had a plan to the background,

1:05:10.480 --> 1:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>there's a little race car behind her. Now that's smart.

1:05:13.080 --> 1:05:13.520
<v Speaker 4>I like that.

1:05:13.960 --> 1:05:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Here is our F one minute with Sierra Fidel.

1:05:19.120 --> 1:05:21.400
<v Speaker 4>Hey ya, it's Tuesday, so that makes his time for

1:05:21.440 --> 1:05:24.800
<v Speaker 4>a race recap with me. Sierra Fidel, And let me

1:05:24.880 --> 1:05:28.960
<v Speaker 4>tell you the last Grand Prix that just took place

1:05:29.080 --> 1:05:33.400
<v Speaker 4>in Montreal, Canada, was probably the most exciting race of

1:05:33.680 --> 1:05:38.120
<v Speaker 4>the entire Fuen season thus far. Two things that happened

1:05:38.480 --> 1:05:43.680
<v Speaker 4>that nobody expected. Number one are double for our DNF Now,

1:05:44.160 --> 1:05:46.760
<v Speaker 4>Charles the Clerk has finished in the top four for

1:05:46.880 --> 1:05:49.840
<v Speaker 4>the entire F one season thus far, so the fact

1:05:49.920 --> 1:05:53.360
<v Speaker 4>that he didn't finish this weekend at all is a

1:05:53.400 --> 1:05:56.760
<v Speaker 4>little bit upsetting, and Carlos signs who had faith in

1:05:57.000 --> 1:06:03.240
<v Speaker 4>oh no, So that everybody's predictions off, including mine. Number two,

1:06:04.280 --> 1:06:09.800
<v Speaker 4>we have both Mercedes and the top four finishers this weekend,

1:06:11.120 --> 1:06:16.400
<v Speaker 4>which nobody going into the weekend pre qualifying, nobody would

1:06:16.400 --> 1:06:19.960
<v Speaker 4>have expected that. Now, the disappointment in the Ferrari garage,

1:06:20.040 --> 1:06:23.480
<v Speaker 4>as well as the disappointment for a Ferrari fans, did

1:06:23.560 --> 1:06:27.240
<v Speaker 4>not only start on Sunday. They finished Q two and qualifying,

1:06:27.400 --> 1:06:30.720
<v Speaker 4>which means they started in eleventh and twelfth on the grid.

1:06:31.240 --> 1:06:35.040
<v Speaker 4>Now on Sunday we have the Grand Prix, but before

1:06:35.160 --> 1:06:38.360
<v Speaker 4>the Grand Prix we have qualifying which sets the grid

1:06:38.560 --> 1:06:41.040
<v Speaker 4>up for the actual race on Sunday, So we have

1:06:41.400 --> 1:06:44.560
<v Speaker 4>three sessions of qualifying kind of in a knockout format

1:06:44.600 --> 1:06:49.120
<v Speaker 4>where the top five slowest drivers are eliminated essentially, so

1:06:49.680 --> 1:06:52.720
<v Speaker 4>their lap times are recorded, sets the grid sets the

1:06:52.760 --> 1:06:56.120
<v Speaker 4>stage for the race on Sunday, so the fastest pat

1:06:56.200 --> 1:07:00.360
<v Speaker 4>time is rewarded with pole position. This weekend, George Russell

1:07:00.440 --> 1:07:03.720
<v Speaker 4>got old position which enabled him to start in the

1:07:03.920 --> 1:07:07.680
<v Speaker 4>very front in the Grand Prix on Sunday. With that explained,

1:07:08.400 --> 1:07:12.200
<v Speaker 4>Ferrari started eleven and twelve on the grid, meaning they

1:07:12.240 --> 1:07:16.040
<v Speaker 4>got knocked out in Q two. Everybody was disappointed. Everybody

1:07:16.080 --> 1:07:19.200
<v Speaker 4>had the head in the hands. Everybody was confused as

1:07:19.280 --> 1:07:22.000
<v Speaker 4>to why they were performing this badly. Considering Charles m

1:07:22.040 --> 1:07:24.640
<v Speaker 4>clerk just won his home race in Monaco last weekend,

1:07:25.000 --> 1:07:28.560
<v Speaker 4>we were all just a little shocked. But the disappointment

1:07:28.640 --> 1:07:32.160
<v Speaker 4>didn't just start there, but our actual top program pre

1:07:32.280 --> 1:07:36.480
<v Speaker 4>finishers this weekend, we're number one Extra Sappened, two Lando Norris,

1:07:37.000 --> 1:07:40.640
<v Speaker 4>three George Russell and four Lewis Hamilton. Let me just

1:07:40.720 --> 1:07:44.760
<v Speaker 4>say this matters. Appen may have won this race, but

1:07:45.520 --> 1:07:48.760
<v Speaker 4>it's starting to become more difficult because these teams are

1:07:48.800 --> 1:07:51.800
<v Speaker 4>definitely stepping up. As the twenty twenty four Formula One

1:07:51.840 --> 1:07:56.120
<v Speaker 4>season continues to progress, it's becoming more and more competitive

1:07:56.600 --> 1:07:59.120
<v Speaker 4>and that's what we want to see and it makes

1:07:59.160 --> 1:08:01.280
<v Speaker 4>the coming races more trying to watch. So I hope

1:08:01.320 --> 1:08:05.400
<v Speaker 4>you guys tune in. That's it for other race recap

1:08:05.560 --> 1:08:08.440
<v Speaker 4>in Montreal, Canada. I'll see you next time.

1:08:09.600 --> 1:08:12.439
<v Speaker 2>All right, great work, Sierras So DEMONSI here's what suck

1:08:12.480 --> 1:08:15.600
<v Speaker 2>out to me. Sierra gave a prediction before the race

1:08:15.760 --> 1:08:18.640
<v Speaker 2>of her top four, and then she's spent a good

1:08:18.720 --> 1:08:22.360
<v Speaker 2>deal of her race recap explaining why that prediction went awry.

1:08:22.840 --> 1:08:26.479
<v Speaker 2>This is this is a common theme, especially and if

1:08:26.479 --> 1:08:28.439
<v Speaker 2>you're new to sports media, but even if you're a

1:08:28.520 --> 1:08:32.519
<v Speaker 2>veteran in sports media, it's sometimes less about to you

1:08:33.160 --> 1:08:37.320
<v Speaker 2>what actually happened and more about why you didn't get

1:08:37.360 --> 1:08:41.080
<v Speaker 2>it exactly right. So we heard a lot about why's

1:08:41.560 --> 1:08:44.920
<v Speaker 2>le clerk and sayings, my guy, didn't you know what

1:08:45.120 --> 1:08:48.000
<v Speaker 2>went wrong for them? And less about you know, how

1:08:48.160 --> 1:08:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Lewis Hamilton or whomever did what they did. I also

1:08:51.000 --> 1:08:54.519
<v Speaker 2>would like to dive into further why it's tightening up

1:08:54.600 --> 1:08:58.439
<v Speaker 2>for Verstappen, because it seems like Verstappen wins every race. Now.

1:08:58.479 --> 1:09:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know clearly enough about this stuff to know.

1:09:00.960 --> 1:09:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I would think he has like an insurmountable lead, but

1:09:04.000 --> 1:09:06.120
<v Speaker 2>maybe he doesn't. But there was Sierra with the f

1:09:06.240 --> 1:09:08.960
<v Speaker 2>one minute our first race recap. I wish I could

1:09:08.960 --> 1:09:12.080
<v Speaker 2>have watched it, hey the or watched the actual race.

1:09:12.160 --> 1:09:14.680
<v Speaker 2>But I'm I'm I'm dipping my toe into the f

1:09:14.760 --> 1:09:18.800
<v Speaker 2>one waters thanks to our you know, my goddaughter, your godsister,

1:09:19.200 --> 1:09:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Sierra Fidel, go ahead, demant.

1:09:21.520 --> 1:09:23.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean I was just perplex on now too.

1:09:23.840 --> 1:09:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Ferraris didn't finish.

1:09:26.160 --> 1:09:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, was there? That's the other thing, Sierra, since you're

1:09:30.000 --> 1:09:34.759
<v Speaker 2>watching this, uh one other just live note? Did they crash?

1:09:35.560 --> 1:09:35.600
<v Speaker 4>Like?

1:09:35.840 --> 1:09:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Is that the reason you don't finish? You gotta get

1:09:37.600 --> 1:09:40.160
<v Speaker 2>in mind if I don't know what's happened, Like, did

1:09:40.200 --> 1:09:42.719
<v Speaker 2>they why didn't they finish? I assume there was a crash.

1:09:42.760 --> 1:09:44.320
<v Speaker 2>That would be the only reason I don't finish, But

1:09:44.400 --> 1:09:48.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Uh and so the so the raps

1:09:48.840 --> 1:09:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Downing says a single Ferrari DNF is crazy, but a

1:09:53.000 --> 1:09:55.120
<v Speaker 2>double Ferrari DNF is unheard of.

1:09:55.840 --> 1:09:56.000
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

1:09:56.320 --> 1:09:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Player one fast cars in Canada doesn't get more exciting.

1:09:59.760 --> 1:10:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Uh And Scott Frazier says Montreal brings the best out

1:10:04.360 --> 1:10:07.000
<v Speaker 2>of everyone. Yeah, and dnf is did not finish that

1:10:07.080 --> 1:10:09.320
<v Speaker 2>I knew that that one I was able to deduce,

1:10:10.960 --> 1:10:14.680
<v Speaker 2>why can't Nick by Sierra Mike? Does he require two

1:10:14.760 --> 1:10:18.880
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand subcount for the mic purchase? Listen, we are

1:10:19.040 --> 1:10:22.200
<v Speaker 2>doing this in steps. Not only is Sierra at some

1:10:22.360 --> 1:10:25.040
<v Speaker 2>point soon going to have a mic, she is also

1:10:25.200 --> 1:10:29.519
<v Speaker 2>going to have a uniform, if you will. But we

1:10:29.760 --> 1:10:32.280
<v Speaker 2>just wait and see as it comes. And they're also

1:10:32.320 --> 1:10:34.160
<v Speaker 2>telling me to tell you guys like rate and subscribe

1:10:34.160 --> 1:10:36.600
<v Speaker 2>to the channel. All right, Deman s let's ask a

1:10:36.640 --> 1:10:38.439
<v Speaker 2>couple questions. Then I have to get to work.

1:10:39.520 --> 1:10:44.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, then that was a little insulting, but Scott Murphy.

1:10:45.760 --> 1:10:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Explain that did not finish. Yeah, yeah, I mean that

1:10:50.520 --> 1:10:53.400
<v Speaker 2>one maybe thought the audience didn't know, but I could

1:10:53.439 --> 1:10:54.800
<v Speaker 2>have figured that out. But go ahead.

1:10:55.600 --> 1:10:58.439
<v Speaker 3>Scott Murphy asked if every team added their goat at

1:10:58.479 --> 1:11:00.560
<v Speaker 3>his peak to their current roster at the beginning of

1:11:00.640 --> 1:11:03.559
<v Speaker 3>the season, what two teams would have met in the finals?

1:11:05.880 --> 1:11:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, so that's trick, Like, does does the Calves adding

1:11:10.240 --> 1:11:17.600
<v Speaker 2>peak Lebron? Uh take current Lebron off the Lakers? Like that?

1:11:17.720 --> 1:11:21.400
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean? That's a real question because

1:11:21.560 --> 1:11:27.400
<v Speaker 2>if the current Lakers got to add peak Kareem, Oh,

1:11:27.600 --> 1:11:32.759
<v Speaker 2>you know what the Calves add Peak No, so here's

1:11:33.920 --> 1:11:37.400
<v Speaker 2>the Or do the Bucks get to add Peakluel Sinder

1:11:38.040 --> 1:11:42.240
<v Speaker 2>because no one's beating that Giannis and and peak Kareem

1:11:42.320 --> 1:11:47.360
<v Speaker 2>slash Like. I don't that that's a great question, but

1:11:47.520 --> 1:11:51.320
<v Speaker 2>it also I I I almost need to investigate more

1:11:51.479 --> 1:11:54.960
<v Speaker 2>who loses who? Like, do the Lakers get to keep

1:11:55.280 --> 1:12:00.880
<v Speaker 2>current Lebron and just add you know, peak Kareem or

1:12:01.080 --> 1:12:04.640
<v Speaker 2>do they lose current Lebron because he's moved over to

1:12:05.240 --> 1:12:08.200
<v Speaker 2>the to the Calves to be peak Lebron. I'm not sure.

1:12:08.840 --> 1:12:11.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, next makes sense?

1:12:12.720 --> 1:12:15.080
<v Speaker 3>Nick Wright Muse asked, what are the chances we see

1:12:15.080 --> 1:12:17.240
<v Speaker 3>you in Dallas with Mahomes for Game three or four?

1:12:19.160 --> 1:12:19.280
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

1:12:19.560 --> 1:12:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, zero percent. I'm in Dallas for Game three.

1:12:23.840 --> 1:12:28.800
<v Speaker 2>I would say it's possible I'm in Dallas for Game four.

1:12:29.479 --> 1:12:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh listen, I don't wanna. I wouldn't be in. I'm

1:12:32.040 --> 1:12:35.080
<v Speaker 2>not gonna invite myself along with you know, it'd be

1:12:35.160 --> 1:12:37.840
<v Speaker 2>Patrick's plus one. But if I were in Dallas for

1:12:38.000 --> 1:12:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Game four, then i'd see Patrick. But there's no chance

1:12:41.520 --> 1:12:43.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm there for game three. There's a slight chance I'm

1:12:43.439 --> 1:12:45.519
<v Speaker 2>there for Game four. Let's see how game three goes first.

1:12:46.280 --> 1:12:47.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, go ahead, last one.

1:12:47.600 --> 1:12:51.479
<v Speaker 3>Demansey producers ask, if you had to choose between playing

1:12:51.520 --> 1:12:54.679
<v Speaker 3>a young Snape or a young Count Dooku and movie

1:12:54.880 --> 1:12:57.519
<v Speaker 3>and a movie slash TV show, which role would you choose?

1:12:58.560 --> 1:13:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well so, I mean so that's oh, that's Snape.

1:13:04.160 --> 1:13:06.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh uh, I'm just saying you look so much like

1:13:06.920 --> 1:13:07.479
<v Speaker 3>the other guys.

1:13:08.280 --> 1:13:10.640
<v Speaker 2>I'd pick Count Dooku since he's based on me, and

1:13:10.720 --> 1:13:13.840
<v Speaker 2>since Disney owes me millions of dollars of royalties. All right,

1:13:13.960 --> 1:13:15.600
