17
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: massive NBA games, and of course the Lakers lost last night.

18
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: I'm sure that is where we will start the show.

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: But before I bring Dior in, let me discuss what

20
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: is not on today's show. Not making the Cup for

21
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,400

Speaker 2: Tiger will not be playing in the PGA Championship as

23
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: he's having ankle surgery. And I wasn't invited to our

24
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: technical ace Victor's birthday party. Victor, I gotta tell you, man,

25
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: this is a terrible move by you. And here's why

26
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: I am the perfect person to invite to weddings and

27
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: birthday parties. What do you mean? Not true?

28
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: But go ahead?

29
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: Well, no you want to? Okay, here's why I'm ninety

30
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: five percent not to show up and one hundred percent

31
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: to send an awesome gift. That is exactly I thread

32
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: the needle perfectly of who you should want to invite

33
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: to a wedding or a birthday. You're I'm probably not

34
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: gonna be there, and I'll definitely send you something. But

35
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: you bleue that. Vic, I don't, I mean, I don't.

36
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 2: I mean it's just a terrible job by you, my friend.

37
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that if you want to.

38
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: Defend yourselfs it that much? Do I get it?

39
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: Go ahead? Vic? Noted exactly why do you disagree with me?

40
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: Do you? Or? Before we start the.

41
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: Show, not the biggest party?

42
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly? You don't have to worry about me showing up,

43
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: and I'll send you something awesome. Like isn't that what

44
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: everyone wants out of their party guests nice and present up. Yeah,

45
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: I mean most people don't actually want to hang out

46
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: with other people that like that.

47
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: That's the yeah, Like, why would you have a party

48
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: if you just well.

49
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: You know what, here's the thing. We all say, oh,

50
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: a party sounds great, and yet if you tell people,

51
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: he almost no matter the age, once they get you know,

52
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: to seniors in high school or later. Oh yeah, I'm

53
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: gonna have this awesome party. By the way, no alcohol

54
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: is gonna be served. No one's coming. Because people even

55
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: when they're like, oh yeah, I want to have a party,

56
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: what they really want to do is you know, get

57
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: somewhat inebriated or make some poor decisions. And so the

58
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: party itself is not the draw. The drinking without potential

59
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: consequences or guilt is the draw. Like, oh man, there

60
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: was a big party last night, so it can't be

61
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: held accountable. So I'm just saying, I'm just the honest person. Yeah,

62
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: I probably don't want to go to the party, but

63
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: I'll send you a nice gift, all right. I filibustered

64
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: long enough the Lakers lost, we got to talk about it.

65
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: Go ahead, So Lonnie Walker was unable to carry the

66
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: Lakers to victory last night. I warned you on Tuesday

67
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: that the Warriors were coming for their three to one

68
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 3: revenge from twenty sixteen. Are you getting nervous yet?

69
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: Not nervous at all? With a caveat surrounding Anthony Davis?

70
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: Obviously so slightly noteous.

71
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: Well, Anthony Davis got elbowed a head in this game.

72
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: It appeared he suffered a concussion. The Lakers are now

73
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: being cagey about whether or not he did or did

74
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: not suffer a concussion, and we're gonna get the injury

75
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 2: report later today. If he gets put in a concussion protocol,

76
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: it's almost impossible to clear the protocol by Friday's Game six.

77
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: That would be devastating for the Lakers. No, Anthony Davis

78
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: and blowing the three to one lead is absolutely on

79
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 2: the board of potential out now on Moore, Saint Anthony

80
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: Davis and on concussion protocol in a moment, first, though

81
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 2: about last night, nothing about last night was surprising. I

82
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: am now forget that stupid Corgie that's going viral. I

83
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: am a documented eleven for eleven incorrectly picking the winner

84
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: of every single Lakers playoff game, including last night when

85
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: I picked the Golden I'm sorry when I picked the

86
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors. The Warriors were not going to lose

87
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: three straight. They were not going to be eliminated at home,

88
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: and the Lakers were just by nature going to relax

89
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: a bit net because they knew they had Game six

90
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: at home waiting for them. But you got to win

91
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: the game six, and I believe they will win the

92
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: Game six. I even believe they could win the Game

93
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: six if Anthony Davis doesn't play. It would take a

94
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: throwback Lebron performance. But when we say throwback, we don't

95
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: mean throwback to twenty eighteen. I mean throwback to mid January.

96
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: The month of January, Lebron averaged thirty five points per game. Now,

97
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: that's before he injured his foot, and he has not

98
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 2: looked quite the same since then. But I wouldn't give

99
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: the Lakers a zero percent chance of winning a home

100
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: playoff game against the league's worst road team, even if

101
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: AD is out. But it does drastically change the math

102
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: on the series. And I'll talk about what happened in

103
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: last night's game pre Anthony Davis injury. In a second,

104
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: but first I want to have an honest give you

105
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: my honest thoughts on the NBA when it comes to

106
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: concussion protocol. And this is not about Anthony Davis. This

107
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: is something I have said publicly and privately before. It's

108
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 2: not a very popular opinion, but my job isn't necessarily

109
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: be popular. It's to be honest, totally understand why football

110
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: needs a strict and distinct concussion protocol. I get that. Hockey, sure,

111
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: those sports makes all the sense in the world. Basketball,

112
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: in my opinion, is a little different.

113
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,239
Speaker 3: Why it's still the same health for the players.

114
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: Though, but the risk of suffering another concussion is so

115
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: much lower exponentially.

116
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: Well yeah, but also like I feel like I guess so.

117
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: I mean it is almost Volleyball's one. Sure, so volleyballs

118
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: and I wasn't I was including like the major American

119
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: prost volleyball, soccer. I have a lot of them because

120
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: either you have in soccer it's the headers.

121
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: Some very concussion.

122
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's in volleyball. It's the trajectory of the ball.

123
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: Football and hockey. They are physical, violent contact sports. Anyone

124
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: that plays pro football for any amount of time. It

125
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: is it is almost impossible to finish an NFL career

126
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: and have never suffered a concussion. NBA guys can go

127
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: a decade long career and never suffer a concussion. So

128
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: because the risk profile is so different, I am, and

129
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: again I've said this before, this is not about the Lakers,

130
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: is not about Anthony Davis. I am. I'm okay with

131
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: if a guy once he is here. Let me back

132
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: up a bit, if they think you may have suffered

133
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:16,359
Speaker 2: a concussion in that game and they say you cannot

134
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: return to that game, I'm totally fine with it. Even

135
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: if the player's like, no, I'm good, I want to go.

136
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 2: I want to go, because there is the possibility that

137
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: they are not of their right mind. They just they

138
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: might they're not seeing clearly, they're not thinking clearly any

139
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 2: of those things. But once we are a day removed,

140
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: if a player has all his faculties about him and

141
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: is told in basketball, listen, you suffer a concussion. You're

142
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: not exhibiting any symptoms. You feel fine. However, if you

143
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 2: were to go play and you were to suffer another

144
00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: concussion in such a short window of time that damnage

145
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: could be terrible. I am okay with that player saying,

146
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: I hear you, I understand that I am choosing to play,

147
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: just like I'm okay with rock climbers. They say, oh

148
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 2: my goodness, this is incredibly dangerous, and it says, okay,

149
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 2: I hear you, I am making the choice. It is

150
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 2: trickier in sports where concussions are part and parcel with

151
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: the sport, almost the cost of doing business. But in

152
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: basketball they are so rare that I am okay. And

153
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 2: I know some doctors out there probably hate hearing me

154
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: say this, and they vehemently disagree. So be it. I

155
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: am okay with If somebody says, all right, I understand

156
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: the cost benefit analysis, I've done the risk profile of this.

157
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 2: I am comfortable taking that risk because I want to

158
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: try to win a championship, because I want to keep playing.

159
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: And so I don't know what's gonna happen with Anthony

160
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 2: Davis now if he plays. There were some things last

161
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: night that make me even more optimistic about the Lakers' chances.

162
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: The Warriors were absolutely lights out from three in the

163
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: first quarter of that game, and they could not separate.

164
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: The Lakers had found a way for large parts of

165
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: that game to score effectively, efficiently and somewhat easily on

166
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: that Warriors defense. And it was a three point game

167
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: with a minute left in the first half. The very

168
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: end of the first half was brutal. The Lakers then

169
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: cut it to seven, cut it to eight, cut it

170
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: to nine. Then Ad goes out with an injury, and

171
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: the wind is out of the sales. And so nothing

172
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 2: from yesterday's game makes me feel like, Oh, the Warriors

173
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: solved the problems the Lakers present to him. And I

174
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 2: know Steve Kerr has talked about wanting to wear down

175
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: Lebron and Anthony Davis. Well, that knife cuts both ways,

176
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: because you absolutely run the risk of wearing down Steph Curry,

177
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: the smallest guy out there that has the ball in

178
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: his hands all the time, and he played. Steph played

179
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: another forty minutes last night seven game series in round

180
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: one high minutes throughout this series in super high usage. Now,

181
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: speaking of Steve, the other noteworthy thing about last night's

182
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: game is the referees basically decided we're gonna let them

183
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: both sides play with reckless abandon That obviously impacts the

184
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: Lakers far more than it impacts the Warriors because of

185
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: their styles of play, and because Draymond, if you give

186
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: him that latitude, will, to his credit, take as much

187
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: advantage of it as is possible. I do think Steve

188
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 2: Kerr had a little gamesmanship when he was whining about

189
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 2: the alleged flopping on what were clear and obvious illegal screens.

190
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 2: And I think that he got a very favorable whistle yesterday.

191
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 2: But that is part of playoff basketball. Part of playoff

192
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 2: basketball is working the refs, setting the narratives and getting

193
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: a favorable whistle at home. And so we'll see what

194
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 2: it looks like in Game six. Gonna I'm gonna guess

195
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis is gonna play, and if Ad plays, the

196
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 2: Lakers win. If he doesn't play, it's gonna take a

197
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 2: thirty five, ten and ten from Lebron, which would be

198
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: an epic performance. But that is obviously a lot to

199
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: ask of a guy in year twenty at age thirty eight.

200
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 3: Next, the Celtics are on the verge of collapse. No

201
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 3: amount of Demonte's sweets can save them. Now, are the

202
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: Celtics cooked or do you think Doc has one more

203
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: collapse left in him?

204
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: Well? I don't think the Celtics are cooked, but they're

205
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: in real trouble. It is in play that the Celtics comeback,

206
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: that Harden has back to back brutal games, or just

207
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 2: one brutal game, that Embid doesn't play well, and the

208
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: Sixers blow a three to two lead. I'm not gonna

209
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: act like this series is over at three to two.

210
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: What I will act like is this though. The The

211
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: amount of respect the Celtics have gotten despite not looking great,

212
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: like truly great in more than a month, is baffling

213
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: to me. They are a poorly coach team that for

214
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: two straight years has been bad in clutch situations, whose

215
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: second star in Jalen Brown, seems to be going through

216
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: his own stuff. You don't know if you're gonna get

217
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: start to finish. Good performances from Jason Tatum in two

218
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: of the last three games he's or back to back

219
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: games or two last three, I'm not sure he's the

220
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: first quarter plus of the game, he's hasn't made a shot.

221
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: And Philly, on the other hand, has been the best

222
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: team in the league from a record standpoint since the

223
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: middle of December, the best team in the league since

224
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: the All Star break. They have the league MVP. Harden

225
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: has played a few of his best playoff games in years,

226
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 2: including two of his best playoff games ever in this series.

227
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: They are a deep team and no one wants to

228
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: believe in them. It was legitimately surprising to me how

229
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: many people who voted for joe El Embiid for League

230
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: MVP did so evidently believing that he was not going

231
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: to play anything like in MVP. Once the playoffs started,

232
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: and he was excellent in game five. He was very

233
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: good until the very end of Game six, and I sorry,

234
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: I'm trying to help your Mike dieor and I'm sorry.

235
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: I had the excellent until the very end of game four,

236
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: I should say, but then Al Horford started giving him

237
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: real trouble. And this is setting up very nicely for Philly,

238
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: which the only team left in the playoffs that has

239
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: home court over Philly is Boston. So if Philly wins,

240
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: they have home court in the conference finals against almost

241
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: assuredly the Heat, maybe the Knicks, but they have a

242
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: home court either way, and then a home court against

243
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: anyone that comes out of the West. And Embiid's knee

244
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 2: is looking stronger. This is setting up very well for them,

245
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: which is why if they were to lose these two games,

246
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 2: it is a devastating blow that we talk legacy. Joel

247
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 2: Embiid currently the only MVP in league history to have

248
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: never made a conference finals. He can change that tonight.

249
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: But if they lose tonight and then lose a game seven,

250
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: some tough questions to answer in Philly flip side. If

251
00:17:54,840 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: the Celtics get bounced in round two, major changes are

252
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: coming to that team. The head coach probably isn't going

253
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 2: to be back. They didn't ever really even want that

254
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 2: guy's I mean, that was a kind of break glass

255
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: in case of emergency situation for their head coach. Now,

256
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown made all NBA, so they can give him

257
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: the Supermax, but he sure doesn't seem to want to

258
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 2: be a Celtic. And for the Celtics, over the last

259
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 2: seven years, when they have had minimal expectations, they have

260
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 2: far exceeded them, and when they have had big expectations,

261
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 2: they have fallen short. I'll do this off the top

262
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: of my head, but the Celtics, dating back twenty seventeen,

263
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 2: they have little Isaiah Thomas, Jalen Brown's a rookie, Jason

264
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: Tatum's not even there yet, and they find themselves in

265
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 2: the conference finals, where they of course get rolled by Lebron.

266
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: Twenty eighteen, big time expectations. They draft Tatum, they trade

267
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 2: for Kyrie, They sign Gordon Hayward. Gordon Hayward breaks his

268
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: leg in Game one. Kyrie then gets hurt late in

269
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: the year. Going into the playoffs, they're seemingly without their

270
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 2: two best players. Minimal expectations. They find themselves in the

271
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 2: conference finals again against Lebron, up three to two. Lebron

272
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: has two magnificent games and they lose, but still everything's

273
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: looking up. Twenty nineteen, they are the overwhelming favorites in

274
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference. They flame out in round two, four

275
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: straight losses to Milwaukee. Kyrie's a disaster. They go nowhere, essentially.

276
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: So that's two conference finals seventeen and eighteen. Nineteen doesn't

277
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 2: work out for him. Twenty twenty was twenty twenty oh

278
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty is is that the that's the bubble?

279
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: You know?

280
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: I had faith in standard time.

281
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: Today I thought I might too, but I'm now I

282
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: gotta remember what the Celtics did in twenty twenty, because

283
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one they lost to the Nets. Twenty twenty two,

284
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 2: they get all the way to the finals, and then

285
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: this year they were damn near a pick them against

286
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 2: the field to win the title two weeks ago, and

287
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: now they could be home after round two and significant

288
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: changes would be on the way if that were to happen.

289
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: I think it does happen. I think Philly wins tonight next.

290
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 3: Okay, the Suns are on life supports after getting blown

291
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 3: out again in Denver. You've always been a Yokic hater,

292
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 3: but if he beat KD and Booker, are you officially

293
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: a joker guy?

294
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: Listen? He's been outstanding and I have not been everyone.

295
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 2: I've not been a Jokic hater. I have been a skeptic,

296
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: and I did not think he deserved the two MVPs

297
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 2: he won. Now, oddly, had he not won those two MVPs,

298
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: I would have been okay with him winning this year.

299
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 2: But he certainly shouldn't win three straight. But he's been

300
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: awesome and the Nuggets look really good. I know the

301
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: Suns are favored tonight. I really like Denver Tonight. I

302
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: think Denver goes to Phoenix and wins. I think Denver

303
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: is clearly the better team. They are the deeper team

304
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: and Phoenix. They were getting nothing out of their bench,

305
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: so they started playing different bench guys. But you see

306
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 2: why Terrence Ross and TJ. Warren weren't playing earlier because

307
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 2: while they give you a bit of a threat offensively,

308
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 2: defensively they bring nothing to the table. And you can't

309
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 2: just play you can't play competent playoff defense with those

310
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: guys getting significant minutes. That right now, the Suns. Not

311
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: to mention sham at others, the Suns are a two

312
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 2: man team. There is not a single player now that

313
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: Chris Paul's hurt on the Suns other than Booker and

314
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 2: Durant that would crack the Nuggets rotation. Jo Kich's Yo Kitch.

315
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: Booker and Durant are the three best players in this series.

316
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 2: The next seven guys are all Nuggets, and that includes

317
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: DeAndre Ayton, who you've gotta think that tonight could be

318
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: his final game as a Sun. I like the Nuggets

319
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 2: to night a lot, all right.

320
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 3: Next, the all NBA team shopped last night. Tatam and

321
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: Brown are both super Max eligible, and Job being snubbed

322
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 3: cost him millions. What were your takeaways? And please don't

323
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 3: make this all okay?

324
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 2: So a few takeaways. The Jaw thing is crazy, so Diora.

325
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 2: The way NBA contracts work is you can sign a

326
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: max contract. It's the most they're allowed to pay you.

327
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 2: It depends on how old you are. It gets more

328
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 2: the longer you've been in the league. But then there's

329
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 2: a supermax contract, right, So supermax is if you're on

330
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 2: a max contract but reach some threshold, certain number of

331
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: all NBA teams, League MVP, stuff like that, then they

332
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 2: can pay you even more. So Jaws contract that he

333
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: has already signed would have gone up in value by

334
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: thirty nine million dollars. Wow, had he been All NBA.

335
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 2: And he wasn't All NBA because he missed a few

336
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: weeks in the middle of the season because he went

337
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 2: on IG Live from a strip club with a gun

338
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 2: in his hand. So it is not an exaggeration to

339
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 2: say that dumbass video cost him thirty nine million guaranteed dollars.

340
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: It's crazy, and you know he came close just for

341
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: just so you guys understand, he finished with out of

342
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: this so six guards, make it six forwards, three sinners, right,

343
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 2: He finished seventh amongst guards in voting, so first guy

344
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 2: out for the All NBA voting, he still could have

345
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: made it. Like he wasn't ineligible because of the incident.

346
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 2: He just he missed Timon so not enough people voted

347
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 2: for him. But so jah, I mean, Jock cost himself

348
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: thirty nine million bucks. That is a takeaway. I thought

349
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: dearon Fox was too low. He was third team. I

350
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 2: didn't like I Listen, nobody loves Luca more than Luca

351
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 2: was first team. That was crazy. His team finished in

352
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: eleventh place. Like, I don't love that the two first

353
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: team guards, Shay and Luca, both of their teams missed

354
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 2: the playoffs entirely. You guys said, don't make it all

355
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 2: about Lebron. Well, I do have to acknowledge this part

356
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 2: on Lebron. This is now nineteen years in a row.

357
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 2: He's on in all nbaighteen. The next most all NBA

358
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: selections from anyone is Duncan, Kobe and Kareem with fifteen each.

359
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: Lebron's at nineteen, Bird and Magic combined for twenty. Lebron

360
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 2: is at nineteen. And however, what is interesting is Lebron

361
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 2: was got the least amount of votes of anyone that

362
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 2: made any of the teams, so he came in fifteenth

363
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 2: out of the fifteen guys that make it. The guy

364
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 2: who came in sixteenth, oddly enough, was Anthony Davis. So

365
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis. You know, Lebron kind of took AD's All

366
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: NBA spot, if you will. He came in sixteenth. Lebron

367
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: came in fifteenth. Nothing else really jumped out at me.

368
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 2: I think it is interesting looking at the playoffs this

369
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: year that Booker missed, but it's because he missed time.

370
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 2: But he's been unbelievable. Jannis was unanimous first team, which

371
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 2: I found noteworthy, Embeed getting his first ever first team.

372
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: Janni's Tatum, Embiid were pretty clear cut to me. Your

373
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: three forward spots, the question was the guard spots, and

374
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: also Damian Lillard. Despite Portland's terrible year, he did make it,

375
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: which ended up costing. You know, some people would have

376
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 2: said Josh should have gotten that spot, or Jalen Brunson

377
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 2: should have gotten that spot. Julius Randall was the one

378
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 2: Nick represented, but I think the All NBA voters actually

379
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 2: did a pretty damn good job this year. And Jalen

380
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 2: Brown made All NBA, which does mean he is now

381
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 2: super Man eligible. All right, take quick break, come back,

382

Speaker 3: Welcome Back Episode one fifty.

393
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't even interrupt you that time. Good job,

394
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 2: good welcome back there. Uh, I am gonna jump in

395
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 2: right here. How well, sorry, we have an you can

396
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: do it for the sea block and I won't ruin it,

397
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 2: but we have I need to give an important disclaimer here.

398
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 2: So we're gonna have some fun and play a game

399
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: in a few minutes. But legendary college basketball coach Bob

400
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: Huggins has been suspended, had a salary cut a million dollars,

401
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: and he's gonna have to go undergo sensitivity training and

402
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: some other things because he repeatedly uttered the worst homophobic

403
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 2: slurs that exists while joking around on what I can

404
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: only describe as what must be one of the worst

405
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: radio shows in America. And I was debating how I

406
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 2: wanted to discuss this, because I think it is actually

407
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: there is a larger discussion to be had, but I

408
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: think it is important to hear exactly what he said

409
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: in the full context of what he said. So we

410
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 2: are going to play about forty five seconds of Bob

411
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 2: Huggins audio exactly how it aired on the radio station WLWAM,

412
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: So there is not going to be any beeps here,

413
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: so there is This is my full disclaimer that you're

414
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: gonna hear some really awful language, and we'll play it

415
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: here in the next thirty seconds. So if you want

416
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 2: to hear the discussion, we don't want to hear the language,

417
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: just come back to us in ninety seconds. And this

418
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: is also my apology for anybody that is unmoored by

419
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: hearing this homophobic slur. I am not doing it for

420
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: shock value or for any reason other than I think

421
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 2: it is important to hear it how exactly how it

422
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: was uttered and then uttered again, and hear his and

423
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 2: the host's reactions to it. This is a conversation about

424
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: getting athletes out of the transfer portal. Huggins alludes to

425
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: sex toys having been thrown on the court during a game,

426
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: and here's the audio from w l W. Let's play it.

427
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 4: I tell you what, any any school that can throw

428
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 4: rubber penises on the floor and then say they didn't

429
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 4: do it, My god, they can get.

430
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 2: Away with anything, rubber peace. That was it a crosstown shootout?

431
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: It was transgender night, wasn't it was.

432
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 2: A crosstown shootout? Yeah? No, what it was was all

433
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: those those guys like fine, they were very envious. They

434
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 2: didn't have one stave. Your comments about Bob Huggins is.

435
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 3: The best.

436
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 2: Okay, So just blatant, unmitigated hate speech with a little

437
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 2: from one of the hosts. Transphobia dropped in there for

438
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: like no reason, no reason, I mean, is a total

439
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: non sequitor, right, and then everybody yucking it up, everybody laughing.

440
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 3: And right after he said it, the like moment of

441
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 3: silence and like that awkward laugh moment because they like

442
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 3: didn't know what to do. But at the same time

443
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 3: it's kind of like.

444
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 2: But then they immediately said, he Huggs is the best.

445
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: Hudgs is they he speaks his mind, tells it like

446
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 2: it is, He's the best. So there's a few branches

447
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 2: of this tree. The first one is this him not

448
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 2: being fired for this is horrifying. So just the other day,

449
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: there's a baseball game in Kansas City and did you

450
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: see this? Youra the negro Okay, So baseball and Kansas City,

451
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: an announcer says, had an amazing time today, aid Arthur

452
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: Bryant and got a tour. And he didn't say Negro

453
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 2: League museum. He said the in word league museum. Woh wow.

454
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 2: That to me is far different than this because that

455
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 2: so the reason I bring that up is I am

456
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: not saying there are certain things that no matter the context,

457
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 2: no matter anything, if you say it, you're axed, You're done.

458
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 2: The in word is probably the most hurtful word in

459
00:32:55,120 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 2: the English language because there is some what's the word,

460
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to say, a plausible deniability, but it

461
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 2: is not as one hundred percent cut and dry. This

462
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 2: was intentional to hurt people that I am not. I

463
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: didn't even put it on the show. I'm not saying

464
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: that guy should be fired. Bob Kendrick, my very good friend,

465
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 2: Bob Kendrick, who runs the Negro League Museum in Kansas City,

466
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: who gave that man a tour, came out with a

467
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: statement saying, I heard it. It's incredibly unfortunate. But I

468
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: come from a place of forgiveness and grace, and I

469
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 2: think we should, you know, give that there. I would

470
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: want more information on something like that. Talk to the

471
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 2: guy's colleagues. Does he use racist language a lot? Is

472
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: there a reason to believe that maybe it was truly

473
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: just a slip of the tongue those things, This is

474
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: not that, and this isn't and.

475
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 3: This is where he can deny anything.

476
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: Well, no, and this is where to me, the conversation

477
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 2: is interesting, because if he had been fired, that is

478
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: not cancel culture. That is accountability. That is there being

479
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 2: repercussions for your actions and your choices. And we have

480
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 2: gotten to a dangerous place where I feel like in

481
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 2: certain quarters there is the feeling that we are the pendulum.

482
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 2: I think some people feel like the pendulum swung too

483
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 2: far in the PC direction that everyone's worried about pro

484
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 2: and you're not supposed to say, like I'm gonna use

485
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: the generic examples people use. You're not supposed to say homeless,

486
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 2: You're supposed to say temporarily on hows and these things

487
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 2: that people feel like it's swung too far that way,

488
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: the language police, and now I think people feel like,

489
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: not only is it swinging back to an equilibrium, but

490
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 2: it's gonna swing further to where I.

491
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 3: Can reverting to the way that they were well and

492
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 3: years ago.

493
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: And I would say worse. I would say, in many ways,

494
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: reverting worse to where it is a far more meaner

495
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 2: spirited They're in the the pre PC culture, if you will.

496
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 2: There was a lot of things that were said flippantly

497
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 2: that now would be viewed as very offensive, but it

498
00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 2: was not always said with intent to hurt or dehumanize.

499
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: I just real quick here on the I want to

500
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 2: finish this point that we can have the discussion Bob

501
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: Huggins there twice this and also this is not Oh

502
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 2: my god. You know Bob Huggins caught on audio was

503
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 2: having a private conversation. Someone was recording it. He didn't

504
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 2: know it. He's on the radio representing a public university

505
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: where his job is to help shape and mold young people.

506
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:47,479
Speaker 2: And he twice says the F word, the homophobic slur

507
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: F word, in the way it is intended to be used,

508
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 2: if you will, which is to try to masculate or

509
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 2: demean gay men. He's talking about people throwing sex toys

510
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 2: on the court and then calls them catholic bleeps. And

511
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 2: the fact that West Virginia believes they can get away

512
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 2: with not firing him is to me a bit of

513
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 2: a canary in the coal mine of folks are going

514
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 2: to continue to try to push these lines and just say,

515
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: bleep you. The power has shifted. We will do and

516
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: say what we want. And I am not the guy

517
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 2: that calls for firings or tries to gin up.

518
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 3: He needs to be some kind of punishment or it's

519
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 3: just gonna keep happening.

520
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: There has to be accountability for obvious black and white

521
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: things and we and I'm not going to go through

522
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 2: the strawman of what about free speech, because anyone with

523
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 2: half a brain knows free speech.

524
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 3: Is a hate speech.

525
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 2: Well no, well here's that not necessarily but no, but

526
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: free speech simply means that Bob Huggins can't be arrested

527
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: for what he says. All that free speech means is

528
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:43,439
Speaker 2: the government cannot penalize or imprison you for what you

529
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: say as long as it is not inciting violence. That

530
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 2: is free speech. Free speech is not freedom of consequences

531
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: for anything you say. And the idea that you could

532
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 2: be He's the high, bighest or second highest paid public

533
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 2: employee in the state of West Virginia. The only person

534
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 2: who makes more is the head football coach. The idea

535
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 2: that you could be the public facing face of any

536
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 2: major company in America. Say that and not lose your

537
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 2: gig for it is unnerving to me and so and listen.

538
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 2: I am on live television ten hours a week. I

539
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: do this live. Trust me. I am always anxious about

540
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 2: the fact that it takes one bad moment to potentially

541
00:39:54,320 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 2: wreck everything I've worked for my entire life. But this

542
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 2: wasn't a bad moment. This was an intentional punchline of

543
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 2: a joke, said twice. This wasn't a whoops, right, It

544
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 2: wasn't a mistake. He said it with his chest like

545
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: he it was. It was to illicit the exact response.

546
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: He got giggles from those clowns, and and if people

547
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 2: think I'm meaning too hard on the radio host. I

548
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 2: did live radio for a decade. I absolutely had people

549
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: that had come on the show, be callers or guests

550
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 2: multiple times that said wildly out of line things. It

551
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 2: is your job in that moment.

552
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 3: Like, hey, that's not okay.

553
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 2: It is your job in that moment to stand on

554
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 2: what's right, no pun intended. And it's not always easy,

555
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 2: and it's not always fun, and there are certain times

556
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 2: where you can it's you know, what they said was

557
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 2: kind of inappropriate, but not something you wouldn't have said.

558
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 2: But it's not a big enough deal that you're going

559
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 2: to you know, you're going to, you know, stop down

560
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 2: the interview. This was as bad as it gets. Go ahead.

561
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 3: And also like when when I was looking at the video,

562
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 3: I was looking at the comments and people were like,

563
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 3: imagine losing a million dollars for saying a word. But

564
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 3: it's also like things like that, it's like saying the word.

565
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 3: And then just because you said he's the highest paid, correct,

566
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 3: so losing a million dollars to him, it's is he

567
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 3: still the highest paid.

568
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 2: Well the second highest paid, and yes, uh for public

569
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 2: employees in the state of West Virginia.

570
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 3: And I'm sure this isn't gonna make him just stop

571
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 3: doing the.

572
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 2: Well Listen, people roll their eyes at sensitivity training. If

573
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 2: he actually does sensitivity training, believe it or not, can

574
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 2: really work. I think most people that throw around that

575
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: slur the F word, slur the moment they go to

576
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 2: a seminar or something. And here the first hand accounts

577
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 2: from multiple gay men about how this was what I

578
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 2: heard being yelled at me when I was in junior

579
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 2: high school and high school getting beat up. This was

580
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 2: what was was said while people were attacking me because

581
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 2: of who I am, which is talked to any gay

582
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: man you know above the age of thirty and ask

583
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 2: them if that word has been hurled at them in

584
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 2: the midst of physical violence. My guess is eight out

585
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 2: of ten are going to tell you, yes, if you

586
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 2: have any type of conscience hearing that can change your behavior.

587
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 2: But that does not mean there should not be true

588
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 2: repercussions for that behavior. And when people are like, oh,

589
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 2: losing a million dollars for a word, guys, words are,

590
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:42,919
Speaker 2: for the vast majority of us, the most powerful thing

591
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 2: we have. Most of us. Do not fight, do not shoot,

592
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 2: do not stab the most of the most powerful vehicle

593
00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 2: we have to cause joy or pain in another human being.

594
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 2: For the vast majority of us is our words, the

595
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 2: messages we send, and the idea that, oh, you shouldn't

596
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 2: lose your job, Then what the should you lose your

597
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 2: job for? And if you're West Virginia, and there's the

598
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 2: tricky part, you were setting yourself up to be such

599
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 2: a laughing stock. Because here's the fact of the matter.

600
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 2: If West Virginia, when he comes back from his suspension,

601
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 2: loses ten straight basketball games, he will be fired. So

602
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 2: don't act like there's nothing you'll fire him for. And

603
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 2: here's the other thing. If he used in the same

604
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,720
Speaker 2: type of joking manner, whatever it is, the ward there,

605
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 2: he would have been fired, I believe, because I can't

606
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 2: effectively coach college basketball and everybody knows you're a racist.

607
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 2: But because West Virginia determined we do we think we

608
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 2: have any gay guys on the team? Do we think this?

609
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 2: It's not gonna affect his ability to recruit, right, And

610
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 2: so it is because he singled out a marginalized group

611
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 2: that West Virginia decided was not important enough to what

612
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 2: he does to have a real, real significant impact. And

613
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 2: and by the way, I'll say this, I'm thirty eight

614
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 2: years old. Okay. I graduated high school in two thousand

615
00:45:56,520 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 2: and three. I was in college three to seven. Absolutely

616
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 2: I have on my record throwing around gay and even

617
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 2: that word while joking with my high school buddies, and probably,

618
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 2: if I'm being honest, my college buddies, and I can't.

619
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,280
Speaker 2: I can say is a different time? Wasn't that different

620
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 2: of a time twenty years ago? Not that I'm proud of,

621
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 2: but I became more aware of the impact of it,

622
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 2: grew up, matured, and not anywhere in my vernacular. Bob

623
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 2: Huggins is a sick see something, Your old grown ass

624
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 2: man doing this publicly for laughs. It's shameful behavior. All right,

625
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 2: You want to try to have some fun before we

626
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 2: get to listener questions and comments. Yeah, let's turn the page.

627
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: What game are we playing? Oh you've got the whiteboards? Wow,

628
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 2: demons always stunk at the white boards. Oh look look

629
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 2: at what do you look at? First of all, look

630
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 2: at the image. Do you ever wrote something nice on

631
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 2: our white boards? It says, let's play a game of

632
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 2: write ends? Thank you scoot? All right, let me have

633
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 2: the marker and then go ahead and ask the first question.

634
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: Your speech hit Chi super Bowl? I can't goodness, okay,

635
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 3: your Super Bowl champion Chiefs will open the season on

636
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 3: Thursday night at home against the Lions. That should be blake, all.

637
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 2: Right, I'm gonna should be uh will be this. It

638
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 2: should be nine and a half. It will be seven

639
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 2: and a half. And I wonder you know what I

640
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: said it will be. I wonder if that line is

641
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 2: out now that there's let me just see if they

642
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 2: if they gave us the in if the lines anywhere?

643
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 2: So I oh, six and a half? Oh the disrespect

644
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 2: already disrespecting the Chiefs. Six and a half. Okay, let's

645
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 2: lay the wood right now. Six and a half. Give

646
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 2: me a break. So on a neutral site in the

647
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 2: Chiefs only three and a half points better than the

648
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 2: Lions and Jared Goff, give me a break, all right.

649
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 3: Next, the Chiefs also have a big game on New

650
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 3: Year's Eve against the Bengals. Your excuse for Mahomes losing

651
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 3: to borrow this year will be okay, gosh, it's close

652
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 3: on the whiteboard.

653
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, you're right. My excuse for Mahomes losing to borrow.

654
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 2: First of all, I do believe the last time they played,

655
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 2: Mahomes won and won in the game. But my excuse

656
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,359
Speaker 2: for Mahomes losing to Borrow, I wrote on the white

657
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 2: board in slash A meaning not applicable, because he's not

658
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 2: going to lose to him, Chiefs might not lose this

659
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 2: year twenty and oh's on the board. Are you writing

660
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 2: an answer as well? Do you?

661
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 3: Or?

662
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 2: I was actually okay, go ahead, what's your answer?

663
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 3: I said, because you weren't there to cheer him on

664
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 3: your best friend, you.

665
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 2: Know, oh my buddy, No, I won't be there. It's

666
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 2: New Year's Eve. That game. The line I'm now seeing

667
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,839
Speaker 2: all these lines, the Chiefs Bengals line is only three

668
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 2: and a half more disrespect. I can't believe. Did folks

669
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 2: not see the Chiefs win the Super Bowl in a

670
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 2: rebuilding year? Next?

671
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 3: Okay? Rumor has it Aaron Rodgers and the Jets could

672
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 3: have could have up to six primetime games by week blank.

673
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 3: You will be sick and tired of the Jets.

674
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 2: M okay, I'm going to give them until week twelve,

675
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 2: said one week one, you're already tired of the Jets.

676
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 2: I don't think the Rogers thing's going to work great.

677
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 2: I think they'll be fine, but since they have set

678
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:37,239
Speaker 2: the expectations at Super Bowl, Uh, I'm not I'm not

679
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 2: a believer, and I think they are going to be

680
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 2: oversaturated early and Rogers last year started the year off slow.

681
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 2: I don't really trust Nat Hackett, I don't love Robert

682
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 2: sala Is. A lot with the Jets that I just

683
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 2: don't believe in.

684
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 3: All right, next, Dora, Okay, your Jags have two games

685
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 3: in London planned, had their coronation this past weekend. Are

686
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,760
Speaker 3: they in store for another by week blank? The Prince

687
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 3: will will actually be whoa, the Prince will actually be

688
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 3: in the royal family.

689
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 2: All right, Well done on the English accent. That's first

690
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:18,600
Speaker 2: of all, sorry that your Mike's giving you trouble. Uh.

691
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 2: The Jags are going to be good. Trevor Lawrence is

692
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 2: going to be excellent. So I'm going to say by

693
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 2: the divisional round, he'll actually be in the royal family.

694
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 2: Because if he follows up last year's playoff performance of

695
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:43,280
Speaker 2: the four touchdown comeback and then playing hard against the Chiefs,

696
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 2: but with another good playoff performance, people are gonna have

697
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 2: to recognize that I was right about him all along.

698
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,240
Speaker 3: All right, Next, There is a new game day added

699
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 3: to the NFL schedule this year. The Jets and Dolphins

700
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 3: will be facing off on Black Friday. Black Friday off

701
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 3: Black Friday. Football is all right?

702
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 2: My answer to that is, and then we can get

703
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 2: yours in a moment risky and say that because I

704
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 2: think the NFL is playing a dangerous game here that

705
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 2: I think that okay. So Thanksgiving were used to there

706
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 2: being football, and then they added a third game, a

707
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 2: night game, and people were okay with it. They are

708
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 2: now doing a Christmas Day triple header. They're putting football.

709
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 2: Go ahead?

710
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 3: Sorry ahead? Is it Black Friday? The day after Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving?

711
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 2: The day after?

712
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 3: There are two Black Fridays, though.

713
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 2: No, the one everybody talks about is the day after

714
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 2: things when everything goes on sale and beginning of shopping season.

715
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 2: They're not adding a football game on Black Friday. There

716
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 2: are folks whose spouses don't love how much football they watch,

717
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 2: and the more days you try to gobble up. The

718
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 2: reason I'm saying it's risky is you risk alienating some

719
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 2: of your audience because what will happen is it's going

720
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 2: to I can't go as NFL's on right now. I think,

721
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 2: you know, if you're in a relationship and you love

722
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 2: football and your significant other doesn't they understand, Okay, Sundays

723
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 2: during the fall, plus Monday nights and now Thursday nights.

724
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 2: If all of a sudden it's like and Christmas and

725
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 2: Black Friday and the day after Thanksgiving, there's a saturation

726
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:46,479
Speaker 2: limit where the significant other says, no, you're missing the game.

727
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,240
Speaker 2: We're going wherever, We're going to the in laws to

728
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 2: do shopping, whatever it is. And the reason that is

729
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 2: risky is because the moment you break the seal of

730
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 2: you can miss games, all of a sudden, it might

731
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 2: be like, oh, I was able to watch highlights. I Oh,

732
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 2: I was okay. It stops being such definite appointment viewing.

733
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,280
Speaker 2: You've got to be locked in all Sunday. Well, honey,

734
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 2: you missed last week and you were fine, why can't

735
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 2: we go do something this week? So I think, you know.

736
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 2: Mark Cuban said years ago about the NFL that pigs

737
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 2: get fat and hogs get slaughtered and that they're being

738
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 2: risky and how much content, like how many days on

739
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 2: the calendar they're trying to eat up. I agree with that.

740
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 2: I think a Christmas tripleheader and a Black Friday game

741
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:46,879
Speaker 2: will be temporarily exciting and potentially a bad long term

742
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 2: business move. All right.

743
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 3: Next, Last year, you were the only person on earth

744
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 3: who was in on the Jaguars. Nice call, and your

745
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three version of the Jaguars will be blake.

746
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,720
Speaker 2: I put three question marks. I don't know that yet.

747
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be totally honest with you, guys. I haven't

748
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 2: done my full NFL season prep yet. A because the

749
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 2: draft just finished, and B because of playoff basketball. So

750
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 2: I don't have an answer to that question yet. And

751
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 2: I don't know there will be I don't know that

752
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 2: there will be a team that has a top five

753
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 2: quarterback in football that everyone disrespects but me, and then

754
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 2: I get to be gloriously correct in the greatest way imaginable.

755
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 2: I don't know that's gonna happen.

756
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:34,359
Speaker 3: All right, Next, Okay, next one. JJ Reddick took an

757
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 3: interview with the Raptors for their head coaching job. Because

758
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 3: this worked out so well with Steve Nash and the Nets,

759
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick would be a blank head coach.

760
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll try to be nice here. JJ Reddick

761
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 2: would be a fine head coach, but here's the thing,

762
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 2: what you put whack, Yeah, you'd be a whack head coach.

763
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 2: I JJ I wish him the best. I find some

764
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 2: of his criticisms and critiques of sports television while he's

765
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 2: on sports television to be somewhat irritating. Clearly his passion is,

766
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:18,959
Speaker 2: you know, diagramming the best way to counter floppy action.

767
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,359
Speaker 2: So I wish him the best. I hope he gets

768
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 2: the gig all right. And last, what's last one?

769
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 3: Congratulations? You made it to one hundred and fifty shows

770
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 3: and that seems like sort of a milestone, right Your

771
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 3: favorite movement moment of the first one hundred and fifty

772
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 3: shows was.

773
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 2: Well, this one's hard because there's so many of my

774
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:46,439
Speaker 2: favorite uh uh, so I can't write them all down,

775
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 2: but I'm I'm thinking of him right now. So the

776
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:54,839
Speaker 2: the most significant moment was the Lil Wayne interview. The

777
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 2: Deanna Yawning compilation when she hosted with me in LA

778
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 2: was outstanding. Your mom's first appearance where she says, my

779
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 2: heart's beating out of my body, that that line is

780
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 2: an old timer. Demons like learning how sports betting worked

781
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 2: and then having real NFL gambling takes, and you last

782
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,320

805
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 3: how do you feel about seeing everyone go crazy about

806
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 3: the corky picking the correct game? So far? While You've

807
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 3: done the same thing, and no one else seems to

808
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 3: care Lakers in six.

809
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I will say, I you know this is

810
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 2: my wife always tells me. She's like, you need a publicist.

811
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 2: All these people in your field that get newspaper articles

812
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 2: and stories written about them or whatever. No, And I

813
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 2: was like, this is not my thing. I've never understood

814
00:59:03,760 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 2: the such and such just signed a new contract and

815
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 2: it's worth X amount of dollars, Like why are you

816
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 2: leaking that? Who does that benefit? And I've just never

817
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 2: been big on that. With that said, how many games

818
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 2: do I need to pick the winner of correctly in

819
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 2: a row before somebody writes something. Somebody should have written

820
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 2: something last year about my fifty to one Super Bowl

821
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 2: exacta coming down to the final weekend of the NFL playoffs,

822
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 2: somebody maybe should write something about my Lakers fifty to

823
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 2: one pick that I gave out on this show that

824
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 2: right that before tip off yesterday was down to four

825
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,160
Speaker 2: to one and now it's at six to one. And

826
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 2: I mean I have on television before every single Lakers

827
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 2: playoff game said who was going to win? And it's

828
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 2: not like I'm simply saying every time the Lakers. I've

829
01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 2: picked correctly when they were gonna win, when they were

830
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 2: gonna lose for eleven games in a row. So I

831
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 2: don't know, all right.

832
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 3: Next okay, sorry, Lord said Hey, Nick, big fan from

833
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 3: Africa Zimbabwe loved the show.

834
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 2: Oh love hearing that that might be our first listener.

835
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 2: It's ever chimed in from the African continent. That's fantastic,

836
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 2: all right?

837
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 3: Next, Truthbear said Nick, how do you justify Sga being

838
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 3: the first team All NBA if he's never even made

839
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 3: the playoffs or had a winning record as a team's

840
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 3: best place.

841
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 2: Listen, I wouldn't I agree with you. I think I

842
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 2: had on my first team All NBA Steph and dearon Fox.

843
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 2: SGA should have been All NBA. But he and Luca

844
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 2: being first team I thought was very curious given the

845
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 2: fact that their teams missed the postseason entirely. All right.

846
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 3: Next okay, Chris Lazo said, what are your five favorite

847
01:00:59,200 --> 01:00:59,920

848
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,560

855
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 2: gonna say, Doora goes shopping in her mom's closet. But

856
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 2: the funniest thing that happens with Diora and her mother

857
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 2: when it comes to clothes is if Doora wants clothes

858
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 2: from Trentage, which is where we do this podcast from,

859
