Speaker 2: Welcome in episode one hundred and fifty What's Right with
Speaker 2: Nick Right jam Back show schedule release in the NFL
Speaker 2: comes out officially later today. Details already slowly trickling out,
Speaker 2: including the inexplicable decision to have the Detroit Lions open
Speaker 2: the season in Kansas City against the defending champion Chiefs.
Speaker 2: We will get to that, We will get to tonight's
Speaker 2: massive NBA games, and of course the Lakers lost last night.
Speaker 2: I'm sure that is where we will start the show.
Speaker 2: But before I bring Dior in, let me discuss what
Speaker 2: is not on today's show. Not making the Cup for
Speaker 2: today's show, the Knicks survive despite a late heat run.
Speaker 2: Tiger will not be playing in the PGA Championship as
Speaker 2: he's having ankle surgery. And I wasn't invited to our
Speaker 2: technical ace Victor's birthday party. Victor, I gotta tell you, man,
Speaker 2: this is a terrible move by you. And here's why
Speaker 2: I am the perfect person to invite to weddings and
Speaker 2: birthday parties. What do you mean? Not true?
Speaker 3: But go ahead?
Speaker 2: Well, no you want to? Okay, here's why I'm ninety
Speaker 2: five percent not to show up and one hundred percent
Speaker 2: to send an awesome gift. That is exactly I thread
Speaker 2: the needle perfectly of who you should want to invite
Speaker 2: to a wedding or a birthday. You're I'm probably not
Speaker 2: gonna be there, and I'll definitely send you something. But
Speaker 2: you bleue that. Vic, I don't, I mean, I don't.
Speaker 2: I mean it's just a terrible job by you, my friend.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that if you want to.
Speaker 3: Defend yourselfs it that much? Do I get it?
Speaker 2: Go ahead? Vic? Noted exactly why do you disagree with me?
Speaker 2: Do you? Or? Before we start the.
Speaker 3: Show, not the biggest party?
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly? You don't have to worry about me showing up,
Speaker 2: and I'll send you something awesome. Like isn't that what
Speaker 2: everyone wants out of their party guests nice and present up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean most people don't actually want to hang out
Speaker 2: with other people that like that.
Speaker 3: That's the yeah, Like, why would you have a party
Speaker 3: if you just well.
Speaker 2: You know what, here's the thing. We all say, oh,
Speaker 2: a party sounds great, and yet if you tell people,
Speaker 2: he almost no matter the age, once they get you know,
Speaker 2: to seniors in high school or later. Oh yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna have this awesome party. By the way, no alcohol
Speaker 2: is gonna be served. No one's coming. Because people even
Speaker 2: when they're like, oh yeah, I want to have a party,
Speaker 2: what they really want to do is you know, get
Speaker 2: somewhat inebriated or make some poor decisions. And so the
Speaker 2: party itself is not the draw. The drinking without potential
Speaker 2: consequences or guilt is the draw. Like, oh man, there
Speaker 2: was a big party last night, so it can't be
Speaker 2: held accountable. So I'm just saying, I'm just the honest person. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I probably don't want to go to the party, but
Speaker 2: I'll send you a nice gift, all right. I filibustered
Speaker 2: long enough the Lakers lost, we got to talk about it.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, So Lonnie Walker was unable to carry the
Speaker 3: Lakers to victory last night. I warned you on Tuesday
Speaker 3: that the Warriors were coming for their three to one
Speaker 3: revenge from twenty sixteen. Are you getting nervous yet?
Speaker 2: Not nervous at all? With a caveat surrounding Anthony Davis?
Speaker 3: Obviously so slightly noteous.
Speaker 2: Well, Anthony Davis got elbowed a head in this game.
Speaker 2: It appeared he suffered a concussion. The Lakers are now
Speaker 2: being cagey about whether or not he did or did
Speaker 2: not suffer a concussion, and we're gonna get the injury
Speaker 2: report later today. If he gets put in a concussion protocol,
Speaker 2: it's almost impossible to clear the protocol by Friday's Game six.
Speaker 2: That would be devastating for the Lakers. No, Anthony Davis
Speaker 2: and blowing the three to one lead is absolutely on
Speaker 2: the board of potential out now on Moore, Saint Anthony
Speaker 2: Davis and on concussion protocol in a moment, first, though
Speaker 2: about last night, nothing about last night was surprising. I
Speaker 2: am now forget that stupid Corgie that's going viral. I
Speaker 2: am a documented eleven for eleven incorrectly picking the winner
Speaker 2: of every single Lakers playoff game, including last night when
Speaker 2: I picked the Golden I'm sorry when I picked the
Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors. The Warriors were not going to lose
Speaker 2: three straight. They were not going to be eliminated at home,
Speaker 2: and the Lakers were just by nature going to relax
Speaker 2: a bit net because they knew they had Game six
Speaker 2: at home waiting for them. But you got to win
Speaker 2: the game six, and I believe they will win the
Speaker 2: Game six. I even believe they could win the Game
Speaker 2: six if Anthony Davis doesn't play. It would take a
Speaker 2: throwback Lebron performance. But when we say throwback, we don't
Speaker 2: mean throwback to twenty eighteen. I mean throwback to mid January.
Speaker 2: The month of January, Lebron averaged thirty five points per game. Now,
Speaker 2: that's before he injured his foot, and he has not
Speaker 2: looked quite the same since then. But I wouldn't give
Speaker 2: the Lakers a zero percent chance of winning a home
Speaker 2: playoff game against the league's worst road team, even if
Speaker 2: AD is out. But it does drastically change the math
Speaker 2: on the series. And I'll talk about what happened in
Speaker 2: last night's game pre Anthony Davis injury. In a second,
Speaker 2: but first I want to have an honest give you
Speaker 2: my honest thoughts on the NBA when it comes to
Speaker 2: concussion protocol. And this is not about Anthony Davis. This
Speaker 2: is something I have said publicly and privately before. It's
Speaker 2: not a very popular opinion, but my job isn't necessarily
Speaker 2: be popular. It's to be honest, totally understand why football
Speaker 2: needs a strict and distinct concussion protocol. I get that. Hockey, sure,
Speaker 2: those sports makes all the sense in the world. Basketball,
Speaker 2: in my opinion, is a little different.
Speaker 3: Why it's still the same health for the players.
Speaker 2: Though, but the risk of suffering another concussion is so
Speaker 2: much lower exponentially.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, but also like I feel like I guess so.
Speaker 2: I mean it is almost Volleyball's one. Sure, so volleyballs
Speaker 2: and I wasn't I was including like the major American
Speaker 2: prost volleyball, soccer. I have a lot of them because
Speaker 2: either you have in soccer it's the headers.
Speaker 3: Some very concussion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's in volleyball. It's the trajectory of the ball.
Speaker 2: Football and hockey. They are physical, violent contact sports. Anyone
Speaker 2: that plays pro football for any amount of time. It
Speaker 2: is it is almost impossible to finish an NFL career
Speaker 2: and have never suffered a concussion. NBA guys can go
Speaker 2: a decade long career and never suffer a concussion. So
Speaker 2: because the risk profile is so different, I am, and
Speaker 2: again I've said this before, this is not about the Lakers,
Speaker 2: is not about Anthony Davis. I am. I'm okay with
Speaker 2: if a guy once he is here. Let me back
Speaker 2: up a bit, if they think you may have suffered
Speaker 2: a concussion in that game and they say you cannot
Speaker 2: return to that game, I'm totally fine with it. Even
Speaker 2: if the player's like, no, I'm good, I want to go.
Speaker 2: I want to go, because there is the possibility that
Speaker 2: they are not of their right mind. They just they
Speaker 2: might they're not seeing clearly, they're not thinking clearly any
Speaker 2: of those things. But once we are a day removed,
Speaker 2: if a player has all his faculties about him and
Speaker 2: is told in basketball, listen, you suffer a concussion. You're
Speaker 2: not exhibiting any symptoms. You feel fine. However, if you
Speaker 2: were to go play and you were to suffer another
Speaker 2: concussion in such a short window of time that damnage
Speaker 2: could be terrible. I am okay with that player saying,
Speaker 2: I hear you, I understand that I am choosing to play,
Speaker 2: just like I'm okay with rock climbers. They say, oh
Speaker 2: my goodness, this is incredibly dangerous, and it says, okay,
Speaker 2: I hear you, I am making the choice. It is
Speaker 2: trickier in sports where concussions are part and parcel with
Speaker 2: the sport, almost the cost of doing business. But in
Speaker 2: basketball they are so rare that I am okay. And
Speaker 2: I know some doctors out there probably hate hearing me
Speaker 2: say this, and they vehemently disagree. So be it. I
Speaker 2: am okay with If somebody says, all right, I understand
Speaker 2: the cost benefit analysis, I've done the risk profile of this.
Speaker 2: I am comfortable taking that risk because I want to
Speaker 2: try to win a championship, because I want to keep playing.
Speaker 2: And so I don't know what's gonna happen with Anthony
Speaker 2: Davis now if he plays. There were some things last
Speaker 2: night that make me even more optimistic about the Lakers' chances.
Speaker 2: The Warriors were absolutely lights out from three in the
Speaker 2: first quarter of that game, and they could not separate.
Speaker 2: The Lakers had found a way for large parts of
Speaker 2: that game to score effectively, efficiently and somewhat easily on
Speaker 2: that Warriors defense. And it was a three point game
Speaker 2: with a minute left in the first half. The very
Speaker 2: end of the first half was brutal. The Lakers then
Speaker 2: cut it to seven, cut it to eight, cut it
Speaker 2: to nine. Then Ad goes out with an injury, and
Speaker 2: the wind is out of the sales. And so nothing
Speaker 2: from yesterday's game makes me feel like, Oh, the Warriors
Speaker 2: solved the problems the Lakers present to him. And I
Speaker 2: know Steve Kerr has talked about wanting to wear down
Speaker 2: Lebron and Anthony Davis. Well, that knife cuts both ways,
Speaker 2: because you absolutely run the risk of wearing down Steph Curry,
Speaker 2: the smallest guy out there that has the ball in
Speaker 2: his hands all the time, and he played. Steph played
Speaker 2: another forty minutes last night seven game series in round
Speaker 2: one high minutes throughout this series in super high usage. Now,
Speaker 2: speaking of Steve, the other noteworthy thing about last night's
Speaker 2: game is the referees basically decided we're gonna let them
Speaker 2: both sides play with reckless abandon That obviously impacts the
Speaker 2: Lakers far more than it impacts the Warriors because of
Speaker 2: their styles of play, and because Draymond, if you give
Speaker 2: him that latitude, will, to his credit, take as much
Speaker 2: advantage of it as is possible. I do think Steve
Speaker 2: Kerr had a little gamesmanship when he was whining about
Speaker 2: the alleged flopping on what were clear and obvious illegal screens.
Speaker 2: And I think that he got a very favorable whistle yesterday.
Speaker 2: But that is part of playoff basketball. Part of playoff
Speaker 2: basketball is working the refs, setting the narratives and getting
Speaker 2: a favorable whistle at home. And so we'll see what
Speaker 2: it looks like in Game six. Gonna I'm gonna guess
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis is gonna play, and if Ad plays, the
Speaker 2: Lakers win. If he doesn't play, it's gonna take a
Speaker 2: thirty five, ten and ten from Lebron, which would be
Speaker 2: an epic performance. But that is obviously a lot to
Speaker 2: ask of a guy in year twenty at age thirty eight.
Speaker 3: Next, the Celtics are on the verge of collapse. No
Speaker 3: amount of Demonte's sweets can save them. Now, are the
Speaker 3: Celtics cooked or do you think Doc has one more
Speaker 3: collapse left in him?
Speaker 2: Well? I don't think the Celtics are cooked, but they're
Speaker 2: in real trouble. It is in play that the Celtics comeback,
Speaker 2: that Harden has back to back brutal games, or just
Speaker 2: one brutal game, that Embid doesn't play well, and the
Speaker 2: Sixers blow a three to two lead. I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: act like this series is over at three to two.
Speaker 2: What I will act like is this though. The The
Speaker 2: amount of respect the Celtics have gotten despite not looking great,
Speaker 2: like truly great in more than a month, is baffling
Speaker 2: to me. They are a poorly coach team that for
Speaker 2: two straight years has been bad in clutch situations, whose
Speaker 2: second star in Jalen Brown, seems to be going through
Speaker 2: his own stuff. You don't know if you're gonna get
Speaker 2: start to finish. Good performances from Jason Tatum in two
Speaker 2: of the last three games he's or back to back
Speaker 2: games or two last three, I'm not sure he's the
Speaker 2: first quarter plus of the game, he's hasn't made a shot.
Speaker 2: And Philly, on the other hand, has been the best
Speaker 2: team in the league from a record standpoint since the
Speaker 2: middle of December, the best team in the league since
Speaker 2: the All Star break. They have the league MVP. Harden
Speaker 2: has played a few of his best playoff games in years,
Speaker 2: including two of his best playoff games ever in this series.
Speaker 2: They are a deep team and no one wants to
Speaker 2: believe in them. It was legitimately surprising to me how
Speaker 2: many people who voted for joe El Embiid for League
Speaker 2: MVP did so evidently believing that he was not going
Speaker 2: to play anything like in MVP. Once the playoffs started,
Speaker 2: and he was excellent in game five. He was very
Speaker 2: good until the very end of Game six, and I sorry,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to help your Mike dieor and I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I had the excellent until the very end of game four,
Speaker 2: I should say, but then Al Horford started giving him
Speaker 2: real trouble. And this is setting up very nicely for Philly,
Speaker 2: which the only team left in the playoffs that has
Speaker 2: home court over Philly is Boston. So if Philly wins,
Speaker 2: they have home court in the conference finals against almost
Speaker 2: assuredly the Heat, maybe the Knicks, but they have a
Speaker 2: home court either way, and then a home court against
Speaker 2: anyone that comes out of the West. And Embiid's knee
Speaker 2: is looking stronger. This is setting up very well for them,
Speaker 2: which is why if they were to lose these two games,
Speaker 2: it is a devastating blow that we talk legacy. Joel
Speaker 2: Embiid currently the only MVP in league history to have
Speaker 2: never made a conference finals. He can change that tonight.
Speaker 2: But if they lose tonight and then lose a game seven,
Speaker 2: some tough questions to answer in Philly flip side. If
Speaker 2: the Celtics get bounced in round two, major changes are
Speaker 2: coming to that team. The head coach probably isn't going
Speaker 2: to be back. They didn't ever really even want that
Speaker 2: guy's I mean, that was a kind of break glass
Speaker 2: in case of emergency situation for their head coach. Now,
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown made all NBA, so they can give him
Speaker 2: the Supermax, but he sure doesn't seem to want to
Speaker 2: be a Celtic. And for the Celtics, over the last
Speaker 2: seven years, when they have had minimal expectations, they have
Speaker 2: far exceeded them, and when they have had big expectations,
Speaker 2: they have fallen short. I'll do this off the top
Speaker 2: of my head, but the Celtics, dating back twenty seventeen,
Speaker 2: they have little Isaiah Thomas, Jalen Brown's a rookie, Jason
Speaker 2: Tatum's not even there yet, and they find themselves in
Speaker 2: the conference finals, where they of course get rolled by Lebron.
Speaker 2: Twenty eighteen, big time expectations. They draft Tatum, they trade
Speaker 2: for Kyrie, They sign Gordon Hayward. Gordon Hayward breaks his
Speaker 2: leg in Game one. Kyrie then gets hurt late in
Speaker 2: the year. Going into the playoffs, they're seemingly without their
Speaker 2: two best players. Minimal expectations. They find themselves in the
Speaker 2: conference finals again against Lebron, up three to two. Lebron
Speaker 2: has two magnificent games and they lose, but still everything's
Speaker 2: looking up. Twenty nineteen, they are the overwhelming favorites in
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference. They flame out in round two, four
Speaker 2: straight losses to Milwaukee. Kyrie's a disaster. They go nowhere, essentially.
Speaker 2: So that's two conference finals seventeen and eighteen. Nineteen doesn't
Speaker 2: work out for him. Twenty twenty was twenty twenty oh
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty is is that the that's the bubble?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: I had faith in standard time.
Speaker 2: Today I thought I might too, but I'm now I
Speaker 2: gotta remember what the Celtics did in twenty twenty, because
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one they lost to the Nets. Twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: they get all the way to the finals, and then
Speaker 2: this year they were damn near a pick them against
Speaker 2: the field to win the title two weeks ago, and
Speaker 2: now they could be home after round two and significant
Speaker 2: changes would be on the way if that were to happen.
Speaker 2: I think it does happen. I think Philly wins tonight next.
Speaker 3: Okay, the Suns are on life supports after getting blown
Speaker 3: out again in Denver. You've always been a Yokic hater,
Speaker 3: but if he beat KD and Booker, are you officially
Speaker 3: a joker guy?
Speaker 2: Listen? He's been outstanding and I have not been everyone.
Speaker 2: I've not been a Jokic hater. I have been a skeptic,
Speaker 2: and I did not think he deserved the two MVPs
Speaker 2: he won. Now, oddly, had he not won those two MVPs,
Speaker 2: I would have been okay with him winning this year.
Speaker 2: But he certainly shouldn't win three straight. But he's been
Speaker 2: awesome and the Nuggets look really good. I know the
Speaker 2: Suns are favored tonight. I really like Denver Tonight. I
Speaker 2: think Denver goes to Phoenix and wins. I think Denver
Speaker 2: is clearly the better team. They are the deeper team
Speaker 2: and Phoenix. They were getting nothing out of their bench,
Speaker 2: so they started playing different bench guys. But you see
Speaker 2: why Terrence Ross and TJ. Warren weren't playing earlier because
Speaker 2: while they give you a bit of a threat offensively,
Speaker 2: defensively they bring nothing to the table. And you can't
Speaker 2: just play you can't play competent playoff defense with those
Speaker 2: guys getting significant minutes. That right now, the Suns. Not
Speaker 2: to mention sham at others, the Suns are a two
Speaker 2: man team. There is not a single player now that
Speaker 2: Chris Paul's hurt on the Suns other than Booker and
Speaker 2: Durant that would crack the Nuggets rotation. Jo Kich's Yo Kitch.
Speaker 2: Booker and Durant are the three best players in this series.
Speaker 2: The next seven guys are all Nuggets, and that includes
Speaker 2: DeAndre Ayton, who you've gotta think that tonight could be
Speaker 2: his final game as a Sun. I like the Nuggets
Speaker 2: to night a lot, all right.
Speaker 3: Next, the all NBA team shopped last night. Tatam and
Speaker 3: Brown are both super Max eligible, and Job being snubbed
Speaker 3: cost him millions. What were your takeaways? And please don't
Speaker 3: make this all okay?
Speaker 2: So a few takeaways. The Jaw thing is crazy, so Diora.
Speaker 2: The way NBA contracts work is you can sign a
Speaker 2: max contract. It's the most they're allowed to pay you.
Speaker 2: It depends on how old you are. It gets more
Speaker 2: the longer you've been in the league. But then there's
Speaker 2: a supermax contract, right, So supermax is if you're on
Speaker 2: a max contract but reach some threshold, certain number of
Speaker 2: all NBA teams, League MVP, stuff like that, then they
Speaker 2: can pay you even more. So Jaws contract that he
Speaker 2: has already signed would have gone up in value by
Speaker 2: thirty nine million dollars. Wow, had he been All NBA.
Speaker 2: And he wasn't All NBA because he missed a few
Speaker 2: weeks in the middle of the season because he went
Speaker 2: on IG Live from a strip club with a gun
Speaker 2: in his hand. So it is not an exaggeration to
Speaker 2: say that dumbass video cost him thirty nine million guaranteed dollars.
Speaker 2: It's crazy, and you know he came close just for
Speaker 2: just so you guys understand, he finished with out of
Speaker 2: this so six guards, make it six forwards, three sinners, right,
Speaker 2: He finished seventh amongst guards in voting, so first guy
Speaker 2: out for the All NBA voting, he still could have
Speaker 2: made it. Like he wasn't ineligible because of the incident.
Speaker 2: He just he missed Timon so not enough people voted
Speaker 2: for him. But so jah, I mean, Jock cost himself
Speaker 2: thirty nine million bucks. That is a takeaway. I thought
Speaker 2: dearon Fox was too low. He was third team. I
Speaker 2: didn't like I Listen, nobody loves Luca more than Luca
Speaker 2: was first team. That was crazy. His team finished in
Speaker 2: eleventh place. Like, I don't love that the two first
Speaker 2: team guards, Shay and Luca, both of their teams missed
Speaker 2: the playoffs entirely. You guys said, don't make it all
Speaker 2: about Lebron. Well, I do have to acknowledge this part
Speaker 2: on Lebron. This is now nineteen years in a row.
Speaker 2: He's on in all nbaighteen. The next most all NBA
Speaker 2: selections from anyone is Duncan, Kobe and Kareem with fifteen each.
Speaker 2: Lebron's at nineteen, Bird and Magic combined for twenty. Lebron
Speaker 2: is at nineteen. And however, what is interesting is Lebron
Speaker 2: was got the least amount of votes of anyone that
Speaker 2: made any of the teams, so he came in fifteenth
Speaker 2: out of the fifteen guys that make it. The guy
Speaker 2: who came in sixteenth, oddly enough, was Anthony Davis. So
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis. You know, Lebron kind of took AD's All
Speaker 2: NBA spot, if you will. He came in sixteenth. Lebron
Speaker 2: came in fifteenth. Nothing else really jumped out at me.
Speaker 2: I think it is interesting looking at the playoffs this
Speaker 2: year that Booker missed, but it's because he missed time.
Speaker 2: But he's been unbelievable. Jannis was unanimous first team, which
Speaker 2: I found noteworthy, Embeed getting his first ever first team.
Speaker 2: Janni's Tatum, Embiid were pretty clear cut to me. Your
Speaker 2: three forward spots, the question was the guard spots, and
Speaker 2: also Damian Lillard. Despite Portland's terrible year, he did make it,
Speaker 2: which ended up costing. You know, some people would have
Speaker 2: said Josh should have gotten that spot, or Jalen Brunson
Speaker 2: should have gotten that spot. Julius Randall was the one
Speaker 2: Nick represented, but I think the All NBA voters actually
Speaker 2: did a pretty damn good job this year. And Jalen
Speaker 2: Brown made All NBA, which does mean he is now
Speaker 2: super Man eligible. All right, take quick break, come back,
Speaker 2: we play a game, our game right end, and also
Speaker 2: we discussed the Bob Huggins situation. That's all next, well's right.

Speaker 3: Welcome Back Episode one fifty.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't even interrupt you that time. Good job,
Speaker 2: good welcome back there. Uh, I am gonna jump in
Speaker 2: right here. How well, sorry, we have an you can
Speaker 2: do it for the sea block and I won't ruin it,
Speaker 2: but we have I need to give an important disclaimer here.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna have some fun and play a game
Speaker 2: in a few minutes. But legendary college basketball coach Bob
Speaker 2: Huggins has been suspended, had a salary cut a million dollars,
Speaker 2: and he's gonna have to go undergo sensitivity training and
Speaker 2: some other things because he repeatedly uttered the worst homophobic
Speaker 2: slurs that exists while joking around on what I can
Speaker 2: only describe as what must be one of the worst
Speaker 2: radio shows in America. And I was debating how I
Speaker 2: wanted to discuss this, because I think it is actually
Speaker 2: there is a larger discussion to be had, but I
Speaker 2: think it is important to hear exactly what he said
Speaker 2: in the full context of what he said. So we
Speaker 2: are going to play about forty five seconds of Bob
Speaker 2: Huggins audio exactly how it aired on the radio station WLWAM,
Speaker 2: So there is not going to be any beeps here,
Speaker 2: so there is This is my full disclaimer that you're
Speaker 2: gonna hear some really awful language, and we'll play it
Speaker 2: here in the next thirty seconds. So if you want
Speaker 2: to hear the discussion, we don't want to hear the language,
Speaker 2: just come back to us in ninety seconds. And this
Speaker 2: is also my apology for anybody that is unmoored by
Speaker 2: hearing this homophobic slur. I am not doing it for
Speaker 2: shock value or for any reason other than I think
Speaker 2: it is important to hear it how exactly how it
Speaker 2: was uttered and then uttered again, and hear his and
Speaker 2: the host's reactions to it. This is a conversation about
Speaker 2: getting athletes out of the transfer portal. Huggins alludes to
Speaker 2: sex toys having been thrown on the court during a game,
Speaker 2: and here's the audio from w l W. Let's play it.
Speaker 4: I tell you what, any any school that can throw
Speaker 4: rubber penises on the floor and then say they didn't
Speaker 4: do it, My god, they can get.
Speaker 2: Away with anything, rubber peace. That was it a crosstown shootout?
Speaker 1: It was transgender night, wasn't it was.
Speaker 2: A crosstown shootout? Yeah? No, what it was was all
Speaker 2: those those guys like fine, they were very envious. They
Speaker 2: didn't have one stave. Your comments about Bob Huggins is.
Speaker 3: The best.
Speaker 2: Okay, So just blatant, unmitigated hate speech with a little
Speaker 2: from one of the hosts. Transphobia dropped in there for
Speaker 2: like no reason, no reason, I mean, is a total
Speaker 2: non sequitor, right, and then everybody yucking it up, everybody laughing.
Speaker 3: And right after he said it, the like moment of
Speaker 3: silence and like that awkward laugh moment because they like
Speaker 3: didn't know what to do. But at the same time
Speaker 3: it's kind of like.
Speaker 2: But then they immediately said, he Huggs is the best.
Speaker 2: Hudgs is they he speaks his mind, tells it like
Speaker 2: it is, He's the best. So there's a few branches
Speaker 2: of this tree. The first one is this him not
Speaker 2: being fired for this is horrifying. So just the other day,
Speaker 2: there's a baseball game in Kansas City and did you
Speaker 2: see this? Youra the negro Okay, So baseball and Kansas City,
Speaker 2: an announcer says, had an amazing time today, aid Arthur
Speaker 2: Bryant and got a tour. And he didn't say Negro
Speaker 2: League museum. He said the in word league museum. Woh wow.
Speaker 2: That to me is far different than this because that
Speaker 2: so the reason I bring that up is I am
Speaker 2: not saying there are certain things that no matter the context,
Speaker 2: no matter anything, if you say it, you're axed, You're done.
Speaker 2: The in word is probably the most hurtful word in
Speaker 2: the English language because there is some what's the word,
Speaker 2: I don't want to say, a plausible deniability, but it
Speaker 2: is not as one hundred percent cut and dry. This
Speaker 2: was intentional to hurt people that I am not. I
Speaker 2: didn't even put it on the show. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: that guy should be fired. Bob Kendrick, my very good friend,
Speaker 2: Bob Kendrick, who runs the Negro League Museum in Kansas City,
Speaker 2: who gave that man a tour, came out with a
Speaker 2: statement saying, I heard it. It's incredibly unfortunate. But I
Speaker 2: come from a place of forgiveness and grace, and I
Speaker 2: think we should, you know, give that there. I would
Speaker 2: want more information on something like that. Talk to the
Speaker 2: guy's colleagues. Does he use racist language a lot? Is
Speaker 2: there a reason to believe that maybe it was truly
Speaker 2: just a slip of the tongue those things, This is
Speaker 2: not that, and this isn't and.
Speaker 3: This is where he can deny anything.
Speaker 2: Well, no, and this is where to me, the conversation
Speaker 2: is interesting, because if he had been fired, that is
Speaker 2: not cancel culture. That is accountability. That is there being
Speaker 2: repercussions for your actions and your choices. And we have
Speaker 2: gotten to a dangerous place where I feel like in
Speaker 2: certain quarters there is the feeling that we are the pendulum.
Speaker 2: I think some people feel like the pendulum swung too
Speaker 2: far in the PC direction that everyone's worried about pro
Speaker 2: and you're not supposed to say, like I'm gonna use
Speaker 2: the generic examples people use. You're not supposed to say homeless,
Speaker 2: You're supposed to say temporarily on hows and these things
Speaker 2: that people feel like it's swung too far that way,
Speaker 2: the language police, and now I think people feel like,
Speaker 2: not only is it swinging back to an equilibrium, but
Speaker 2: it's gonna swing further to where I.
Speaker 3: Can reverting to the way that they were well and
Speaker 3: years ago.
Speaker 2: And I would say worse. I would say, in many ways,
Speaker 2: reverting worse to where it is a far more meaner
Speaker 2: spirited They're in the the pre PC culture, if you will.
Speaker 2: There was a lot of things that were said flippantly
Speaker 2: that now would be viewed as very offensive, but it
Speaker 2: was not always said with intent to hurt or dehumanize.
Speaker 2: I just real quick here on the I want to
Speaker 2: finish this point that we can have the discussion Bob
Speaker 2: Huggins there twice this and also this is not Oh
Speaker 2: my god. You know Bob Huggins caught on audio was
Speaker 2: having a private conversation. Someone was recording it. He didn't
Speaker 2: know it. He's on the radio representing a public university
Speaker 2: where his job is to help shape and mold young people.
Speaker 2: And he twice says the F word, the homophobic slur
Speaker 2: F word, in the way it is intended to be used,
Speaker 2: if you will, which is to try to masculate or
Speaker 2: demean gay men. He's talking about people throwing sex toys
Speaker 2: on the court and then calls them catholic bleeps. And
Speaker 2: the fact that West Virginia believes they can get away
Speaker 2: with not firing him is to me a bit of
Speaker 2: a canary in the coal mine of folks are going
Speaker 2: to continue to try to push these lines and just say,
Speaker 2: bleep you. The power has shifted. We will do and
Speaker 2: say what we want. And I am not the guy
Speaker 2: that calls for firings or tries to gin up.
Speaker 3: He needs to be some kind of punishment or it's
Speaker 3: just gonna keep happening.
Speaker 2: There has to be accountability for obvious black and white
Speaker 2: things and we and I'm not going to go through
Speaker 2: the strawman of what about free speech, because anyone with
Speaker 2: half a brain knows free speech.
Speaker 3: Is a hate speech.
Speaker 2: Well no, well here's that not necessarily but no, but
Speaker 2: free speech simply means that Bob Huggins can't be arrested
Speaker 2: for what he says. All that free speech means is
Speaker 2: the government cannot penalize or imprison you for what you
Speaker 2: say as long as it is not inciting violence. That
Speaker 2: is free speech. Free speech is not freedom of consequences
Speaker 2: for anything you say. And the idea that you could
Speaker 2: be He's the high, bighest or second highest paid public
Speaker 2: employee in the state of West Virginia. The only person
Speaker 2: who makes more is the head football coach. The idea
Speaker 2: that you could be the public facing face of any
Speaker 2: major company in America. Say that and not lose your
Speaker 2: gig for it is unnerving to me and so and listen.
Speaker 2: I am on live television ten hours a week. I
Speaker 2: do this live. Trust me. I am always anxious about
Speaker 2: the fact that it takes one bad moment to potentially
Speaker 2: wreck everything I've worked for my entire life. But this
Speaker 2: wasn't a bad moment. This was an intentional punchline of
Speaker 2: a joke, said twice. This wasn't a whoops, right, It
Speaker 2: wasn't a mistake. He said it with his chest like
Speaker 2: he it was. It was to illicit the exact response.
Speaker 2: He got giggles from those clowns, and and if people
Speaker 2: think I'm meaning too hard on the radio host. I
Speaker 2: did live radio for a decade. I absolutely had people
Speaker 2: that had come on the show, be callers or guests
Speaker 2: multiple times that said wildly out of line things. It
Speaker 2: is your job in that moment.
Speaker 3: Like, hey, that's not okay.
Speaker 2: It is your job in that moment to stand on
Speaker 2: what's right, no pun intended. And it's not always easy,
Speaker 2: and it's not always fun, and there are certain times
Speaker 2: where you can it's you know, what they said was
Speaker 2: kind of inappropriate, but not something you wouldn't have said.
Speaker 2: But it's not a big enough deal that you're going
Speaker 2: to you know, you're going to, you know, stop down
Speaker 2: the interview. This was as bad as it gets. Go ahead.
Speaker 3: And also like when when I was looking at the video,
Speaker 3: I was looking at the comments and people were like,
Speaker 3: imagine losing a million dollars for saying a word. But
Speaker 3: it's also like things like that, it's like saying the word.
Speaker 3: And then just because you said he's the highest paid, correct,
Speaker 3: so losing a million dollars to him, it's is he
Speaker 3: still the highest paid.
Speaker 2: Well the second highest paid, and yes, uh for public
Speaker 2: employees in the state of West Virginia.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure this isn't gonna make him just stop
Speaker 3: doing the.
Speaker 2: Well Listen, people roll their eyes at sensitivity training. If
Speaker 2: he actually does sensitivity training, believe it or not, can
Speaker 2: really work. I think most people that throw around that
Speaker 2: slur the F word, slur the moment they go to
Speaker 2: a seminar or something. And here the first hand accounts
Speaker 2: from multiple gay men about how this was what I
Speaker 2: heard being yelled at me when I was in junior
Speaker 2: high school and high school getting beat up. This was
Speaker 2: what was was said while people were attacking me because
Speaker 2: of who I am, which is talked to any gay
Speaker 2: man you know above the age of thirty and ask
Speaker 2: them if that word has been hurled at them in
Speaker 2: the midst of physical violence. My guess is eight out
Speaker 2: of ten are going to tell you, yes, if you
Speaker 2: have any type of conscience hearing that can change your behavior.
Speaker 2: But that does not mean there should not be true
Speaker 2: repercussions for that behavior. And when people are like, oh,
Speaker 2: losing a million dollars for a word, guys, words are,
Speaker 2: for the vast majority of us, the most powerful thing
Speaker 2: we have. Most of us. Do not fight, do not shoot,
Speaker 2: do not stab the most of the most powerful vehicle
Speaker 2: we have to cause joy or pain in another human being.
Speaker 2: For the vast majority of us is our words, the
Speaker 2: messages we send, and the idea that, oh, you shouldn't
Speaker 2: lose your job, Then what the should you lose your
Speaker 2: job for? And if you're West Virginia, and there's the
Speaker 2: tricky part, you were setting yourself up to be such
Speaker 2: a laughing stock. Because here's the fact of the matter.
Speaker 2: If West Virginia, when he comes back from his suspension,
Speaker 2: loses ten straight basketball games, he will be fired. So
Speaker 2: don't act like there's nothing you'll fire him for. And
Speaker 2: here's the other thing. If he used in the same
Speaker 2: type of joking manner, whatever it is, the ward there,
Speaker 2: he would have been fired, I believe, because I can't
Speaker 2: effectively coach college basketball and everybody knows you're a racist.
Speaker 2: But because West Virginia determined we do we think we
Speaker 2: have any gay guys on the team? Do we think this?
Speaker 2: It's not gonna affect his ability to recruit, right, And
Speaker 2: so it is because he singled out a marginalized group
Speaker 2: that West Virginia decided was not important enough to what
Speaker 2: he does to have a real, real significant impact. And
Speaker 2: and by the way, I'll say this, I'm thirty eight
Speaker 2: years old. Okay. I graduated high school in two thousand
Speaker 2: and three. I was in college three to seven. Absolutely
Speaker 2: I have on my record throwing around gay and even
Speaker 2: that word while joking with my high school buddies, and probably,
Speaker 2: if I'm being honest, my college buddies, and I can't.
Speaker 2: I can say is a different time? Wasn't that different
Speaker 2: of a time twenty years ago? Not that I'm proud of,
Speaker 2: but I became more aware of the impact of it,
Speaker 2: grew up, matured, and not anywhere in my vernacular. Bob
Speaker 2: Huggins is a sick see something, Your old grown ass
Speaker 2: man doing this publicly for laughs. It's shameful behavior. All right,
Speaker 2: You want to try to have some fun before we
Speaker 2: get to listener questions and comments. Yeah, let's turn the page.
Speaker 2: What game are we playing? Oh you've got the whiteboards? Wow,
Speaker 2: demons always stunk at the white boards. Oh look look
Speaker 2: at what do you look at? First of all, look
Speaker 2: at the image. Do you ever wrote something nice on
Speaker 2: our white boards? It says, let's play a game of
Speaker 2: write ends? Thank you scoot? All right, let me have
Speaker 2: the marker and then go ahead and ask the first question.
Speaker 3: Your speech hit Chi super Bowl? I can't goodness, okay,
Speaker 3: your Super Bowl champion Chiefs will open the season on
Speaker 3: Thursday night at home against the Lions. That should be blake, all.
Speaker 2: Right, I'm gonna should be uh will be this. It
Speaker 2: should be nine and a half. It will be seven
Speaker 2: and a half. And I wonder you know what I
Speaker 2: said it will be. I wonder if that line is
Speaker 2: out now that there's let me just see if they
Speaker 2: if they gave us the in if the lines anywhere?
Speaker 2: So I oh, six and a half? Oh the disrespect
Speaker 2: already disrespecting the Chiefs. Six and a half. Okay, let's
Speaker 2: lay the wood right now. Six and a half. Give
Speaker 2: me a break. So on a neutral site in the
Speaker 2: Chiefs only three and a half points better than the
Speaker 2: Lions and Jared Goff, give me a break, all right.
Speaker 3: Next, the Chiefs also have a big game on New
Speaker 3: Year's Eve against the Bengals. Your excuse for Mahomes losing
Speaker 3: to borrow this year will be okay, gosh, it's close
Speaker 3: on the whiteboard.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you're right. My excuse for Mahomes losing to borrow.
Speaker 2: First of all, I do believe the last time they played,
Speaker 2: Mahomes won and won in the game. But my excuse
Speaker 2: for Mahomes losing to Borrow, I wrote on the white
Speaker 2: board in slash A meaning not applicable, because he's not
Speaker 2: going to lose to him, Chiefs might not lose this
Speaker 2: year twenty and oh's on the board. Are you writing
Speaker 2: an answer as well? Do you?
Speaker 3: Or?
Speaker 2: I was actually okay, go ahead, what's your answer?
Speaker 3: I said, because you weren't there to cheer him on
Speaker 3: your best friend, you.
Speaker 2: Know, oh my buddy, No, I won't be there. It's
Speaker 2: New Year's Eve. That game. The line I'm now seeing
Speaker 2: all these lines, the Chiefs Bengals line is only three
Speaker 2: and a half more disrespect. I can't believe. Did folks
Speaker 2: not see the Chiefs win the Super Bowl in a
Speaker 2: rebuilding year? Next?
Speaker 3: Okay? Rumor has it Aaron Rodgers and the Jets could
Speaker 3: have could have up to six primetime games by week blank.
Speaker 3: You will be sick and tired of the Jets.
Speaker 2: M okay, I'm going to give them until week twelve,
Speaker 2: said one week one, you're already tired of the Jets.
Speaker 2: I don't think the Rogers thing's going to work great.
Speaker 2: I think they'll be fine, but since they have set
Speaker 2: the expectations at Super Bowl, Uh, I'm not I'm not
Speaker 2: a believer, and I think they are going to be
Speaker 2: oversaturated early and Rogers last year started the year off slow.
Speaker 2: I don't really trust Nat Hackett, I don't love Robert
Speaker 2: sala Is. A lot with the Jets that I just
Speaker 2: don't believe in.
Speaker 3: All right, next, Dora, Okay, your Jags have two games
Speaker 3: in London planned, had their coronation this past weekend. Are
Speaker 3: they in store for another by week blank? The Prince
Speaker 3: will will actually be whoa, the Prince will actually be
Speaker 3: in the royal family.
Speaker 2: All right, Well done on the English accent. That's first
Speaker 2: of all, sorry that your Mike's giving you trouble. Uh.
Speaker 2: The Jags are going to be good. Trevor Lawrence is
Speaker 2: going to be excellent. So I'm going to say by
Speaker 2: the divisional round, he'll actually be in the royal family.
Speaker 2: Because if he follows up last year's playoff performance of
Speaker 2: the four touchdown comeback and then playing hard against the Chiefs,
Speaker 2: but with another good playoff performance, people are gonna have
Speaker 2: to recognize that I was right about him all along.
Speaker 3: All right, Next, There is a new game day added
Speaker 3: to the NFL schedule this year. The Jets and Dolphins
Speaker 3: will be facing off on Black Friday. Black Friday off
Speaker 3: Black Friday. Football is all right?
Speaker 2: My answer to that is, and then we can get
Speaker 2: yours in a moment risky and say that because I
Speaker 2: think the NFL is playing a dangerous game here that
Speaker 2: I think that okay. So Thanksgiving were used to there
Speaker 2: being football, and then they added a third game, a
Speaker 2: night game, and people were okay with it. They are
Speaker 2: now doing a Christmas Day triple header. They're putting football.
Speaker 2: Go ahead?
Speaker 3: Sorry ahead? Is it Black Friday? The day after Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2: The day after?
Speaker 3: There are two Black Fridays, though.
Speaker 2: No, the one everybody talks about is the day after
Speaker 2: things when everything goes on sale and beginning of shopping season.
Speaker 2: They're not adding a football game on Black Friday. There
Speaker 2: are folks whose spouses don't love how much football they watch,
Speaker 2: and the more days you try to gobble up. The
Speaker 2: reason I'm saying it's risky is you risk alienating some
Speaker 2: of your audience because what will happen is it's going
Speaker 2: to I can't go as NFL's on right now. I think,
Speaker 2: you know, if you're in a relationship and you love
Speaker 2: football and your significant other doesn't they understand, Okay, Sundays
Speaker 2: during the fall, plus Monday nights and now Thursday nights.
Speaker 2: If all of a sudden it's like and Christmas and
Speaker 2: Black Friday and the day after Thanksgiving, there's a saturation
Speaker 2: limit where the significant other says, no, you're missing the game.
Speaker 2: We're going wherever, We're going to the in laws to
Speaker 2: do shopping, whatever it is. And the reason that is
Speaker 2: risky is because the moment you break the seal of
Speaker 2: you can miss games, all of a sudden, it might
Speaker 2: be like, oh, I was able to watch highlights. I Oh,
Speaker 2: I was okay. It stops being such definite appointment viewing.
Speaker 2: You've got to be locked in all Sunday. Well, honey,
Speaker 2: you missed last week and you were fine, why can't
Speaker 2: we go do something this week? So I think, you know.
Speaker 2: Mark Cuban said years ago about the NFL that pigs
Speaker 2: get fat and hogs get slaughtered and that they're being
Speaker 2: risky and how much content, like how many days on
Speaker 2: the calendar they're trying to eat up. I agree with that.
Speaker 2: I think a Christmas tripleheader and a Black Friday game
Speaker 2: will be temporarily exciting and potentially a bad long term
Speaker 2: business move. All right.
Speaker 3: Next, Last year, you were the only person on earth
Speaker 3: who was in on the Jaguars. Nice call, and your
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three version of the Jaguars will be blake.
Speaker 2: I put three question marks. I don't know that yet.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be totally honest with you, guys. I haven't
Speaker 2: done my full NFL season prep yet. A because the
Speaker 2: draft just finished, and B because of playoff basketball. So
Speaker 2: I don't have an answer to that question yet. And
Speaker 2: I don't know there will be I don't know that
Speaker 2: there will be a team that has a top five
Speaker 2: quarterback in football that everyone disrespects but me, and then
Speaker 2: I get to be gloriously correct in the greatest way imaginable.
Speaker 2: I don't know that's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: All right, Next, Okay, next one. JJ Reddick took an
Speaker 3: interview with the Raptors for their head coaching job. Because
Speaker 3: this worked out so well with Steve Nash and the Nets,
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick would be a blank head coach.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll try to be nice here. JJ Reddick
Speaker 2: would be a fine head coach, but here's the thing,
Speaker 2: what you put whack, Yeah, you'd be a whack head coach.
Speaker 2: I JJ I wish him the best. I find some
Speaker 2: of his criticisms and critiques of sports television while he's
Speaker 2: on sports television to be somewhat irritating. Clearly his passion is,
Speaker 2: you know, diagramming the best way to counter floppy action.
Speaker 2: So I wish him the best. I hope he gets
Speaker 2: the gig all right. And last, what's last one?
Speaker 3: Congratulations? You made it to one hundred and fifty shows
Speaker 3: and that seems like sort of a milestone, right Your
Speaker 3: favorite movement moment of the first one hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: shows was.
Speaker 2: Well, this one's hard because there's so many of my
Speaker 2: favorite uh uh, so I can't write them all down,
Speaker 2: but I'm I'm thinking of him right now. So the
Speaker 2: the most significant moment was the Lil Wayne interview. The
Speaker 2: Deanna Yawning compilation when she hosted with me in LA
Speaker 2: was outstanding. Your mom's first appearance where she says, my
Speaker 2: heart's beating out of my body, that that line is
Speaker 2: an old timer. Demons like learning how sports betting worked
Speaker 2: and then having real NFL gambling takes, and you last
Speaker 2: week when we were going back and forth on stuff.
Speaker 2: Those are my five favorite moments. So I don't have
Speaker 2: a singular favorite moment, but those are my five favorite moments.
Speaker 2: What did you write? Go ahead?
Speaker 3: When we talked about Dexter, that's.
Speaker 2: Your favorite moment? Yeah? That was mine with you, the
Speaker 2: Dexter Westminster stuff. That was fun going back and forth.
Speaker 2: All right, quick break? Read your listener questions. Next, what's right?
Speaker 3: Welcome back episode one. Next we're gonna answer your listener questions.
Speaker 3: First question is d day, So said Nick, you are
Speaker 3: cordially invited to our Vegas wedding on July twenty third.
Speaker 2: Listen, I need an official paper invite? Send it. I'll
Speaker 2: send you something the register.
Speaker 3: Can I come?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 3: I want to go?
Speaker 2: You want to go? You want to be my date
Speaker 2: to this guy's wedding. I wasn't act. Didn't I just
Speaker 2: say I don't actually go to these things?
Speaker 3: But did it? I had to?
Speaker 2: It is Vegas, DJ, Send me the invite. I'll send
Speaker 2: you something. Go ahead.
Speaker 3: Next, Dalton Pope said Nick, Sorry, you're okay? So, Nick,
Speaker 3: how do you feel about seeing everyone go crazy about
Speaker 3: the corky picking the correct game? So far? While You've
Speaker 3: done the same thing, and no one else seems to
Speaker 3: care Lakers in six.
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I will say, I you know this is
Speaker 2: my wife always tells me. She's like, you need a publicist.
Speaker 2: All these people in your field that get newspaper articles
Speaker 2: and stories written about them or whatever. No, And I
Speaker 2: was like, this is not my thing. I've never understood
Speaker 2: the such and such just signed a new contract and
Speaker 2: it's worth X amount of dollars, Like why are you
Speaker 2: leaking that? Who does that benefit? And I've just never
Speaker 2: been big on that. With that said, how many games
Speaker 2: do I need to pick the winner of correctly in
Speaker 2: a row before somebody writes something. Somebody should have written
Speaker 2: something last year about my fifty to one Super Bowl
Speaker 2: exacta coming down to the final weekend of the NFL playoffs,
Speaker 2: somebody maybe should write something about my Lakers fifty to
Speaker 2: one pick that I gave out on this show that
Speaker 2: right that before tip off yesterday was down to four
Speaker 2: to one and now it's at six to one. And
Speaker 2: I mean I have on television before every single Lakers
Speaker 2: playoff game said who was going to win? And it's
Speaker 2: not like I'm simply saying every time the Lakers. I've
Speaker 2: picked correctly when they were gonna win, when they were
Speaker 2: gonna lose for eleven games in a row. So I
Speaker 2: don't know, all right.
Speaker 3: Next okay, sorry, Lord said Hey, Nick, big fan from
Speaker 3: Africa Zimbabwe loved the show.
Speaker 2: Oh love hearing that that might be our first listener.
Speaker 2: It's ever chimed in from the African continent. That's fantastic,
Speaker 2: all right?
Speaker 3: Next, Truthbear said Nick, how do you justify Sga being
Speaker 3: the first team All NBA if he's never even made
Speaker 3: the playoffs or had a winning record as a team's
Speaker 3: best place.
Speaker 2: Listen, I wouldn't I agree with you. I think I
Speaker 2: had on my first team All NBA Steph and dearon Fox.
Speaker 2: SGA should have been All NBA. But he and Luca
Speaker 2: being first team I thought was very curious given the
Speaker 2: fact that their teams missed the postseason entirely. All right.
Speaker 3: Next okay, Chris Lazo said, what are your five favorite
Speaker 3: sneakers to war?
Speaker 2: I mean sneakers wise, I basically just wear Jordan's and
Speaker 2: Lebron's and some air Force ones. That's it. Do yours wearing?
Speaker 2: Are those your mom's?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You've just taken them I've claimed them, You've claimed them? Show?
Speaker 3: Do you know that question wasn't for me?
Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, maybe it was goes what wait? I was
Speaker 2: gonna say, Doora goes shopping in her mom's closet. But
Speaker 2: the funniest thing that happens with Diora and her mother
Speaker 2: when it comes to clothes is if Doora wants clothes
Speaker 2: from Trentage, which is where we do this podcast from,
Speaker 2: her mom makes her pay the retail listed price. It's
Speaker 2: just bananas. I just I've never seen any I couldn't
Speaker 2: believe it, but it's what she does, all right.
Speaker 3: Last one, wait, I'm gonna answer. Yes, my favorite shoes
Speaker 3: are my white Oreo, our white Oreo I think they are,
Speaker 3: and then my black Jordan Force. And then my favorite
Speaker 3: shoes that I have are my Jordan one high top Obsidians.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, those are my favorites? Are good? Do yours
Speaker 2: a bit of a sneakerhead? Uh? And yeah? No? Those
Speaker 2: are all good ones, all right?
Speaker 3: Last one, Victor says, will you come to his birthday?
Speaker 2: Bash? You know, Victor, it's too little, too late now?
Speaker 3: How do you know he's not having another one?
Speaker 2: Come to my birthday? Please?
Speaker 3: You know he might be having another one. I guess
Speaker 3: you just have to send him a gift anyway.
Speaker 2: He says, it's in writing, all right, send me the details,
Speaker 2: text me the details. Vic. At the very least, I'll
Speaker 2: send dem On'sday with my with my present. That way,
Speaker 2: we'll we'll get it together, all right, good show. Enjoy
Speaker 2: the NBA playoffs this weekend. I'm gonna be in Sacramento

Speaker 2: watching Game seven Lakers Kings and said the King's got
Speaker 2: knocked out. I'm being Sacramento anyway. See you guys there,
Speaker 2: See you on TV today at three.
