0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Nick Right jam Back show schedule release in the NFL

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 2>comes out officially later today. Details already slowly trickling out,

0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 2>including the inexplicable decision to have the Detroit Lions open

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 2>the season in Kansas City against the defending champion Chiefs.

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.400
<v Speaker 2>We will get to that, We will get to tonight's

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 2>massive NBA games, and of course the Lakers lost last night.

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that is where we will start the show.

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 2>But before I bring Dior in, let me discuss what

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 2>is not on today's show. Not making the Cup for

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:28.400
<v Speaker 2>today's show, the Knicks survive despite a late heat run.

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Tiger will not be playing in the PGA Championship as

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 2>he's having ankle surgery. And I wasn't invited to our

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 2>technical ace Victor's birthday party. Victor, I gotta tell you, man,

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 2>this is a terrible move by you. And here's why

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 2>I am the perfect person to invite to weddings and

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 2>birthday parties. What do you mean? Not true?

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 3>But go ahead?

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, no you want to? Okay, here's why I'm ninety

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>five percent not to show up and one hundred percent

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>to send an awesome gift. That is exactly I thread

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 2>the needle perfectly of who you should want to invite

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 2>to a wedding or a birthday. You're I'm probably not

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna be there, and I'll definitely send you something. But

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 2>you bleue that. Vic, I don't, I mean, I don't.

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.959
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's just a terrible job by you, my friend.

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry that if you want to.

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Defend yourselfs it that much? Do I get it?

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead? Vic? Noted exactly why do you disagree with me?

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you? Or? Before we start the.

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Show, not the biggest party?

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Exactly exactly? You don't have to worry about me showing up,

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 2>and I'll send you something awesome. Like isn't that what

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 2>everyone wants out of their party guests nice and present up. Yeah,

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean most people don't actually want to hang out

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.680
<v Speaker 2>with other people that like that.

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 3>That's the yeah, Like, why would you have a party

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 3>if you just well.

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 2>You know what, here's the thing. We all say, oh,

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 2>a party sounds great, and yet if you tell people,

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 2>he almost no matter the age, once they get you know,

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 2>to seniors in high school or later. Oh yeah, I'm

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna have this awesome party. By the way, no alcohol

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>is gonna be served. No one's coming. Because people even

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 2>when they're like, oh yeah, I want to have a party,

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 2>what they really want to do is you know, get

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>somewhat inebriated or make some poor decisions. And so the

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>party itself is not the draw. The drinking without potential

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 2>consequences or guilt is the draw. Like, oh man, there

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 2>was a big party last night, so it can't be

0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 2>held accountable. So I'm just saying, I'm just the honest person. Yeah,

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I probably don't want to go to the party, but

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll send you a nice gift, all right. I filibustered

0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 2>long enough the Lakers lost, we got to talk about it.

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, So Lonnie Walker was unable to carry the

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 3>Lakers to victory last night. I warned you on Tuesday

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 3>that the Warriors were coming for their three to one

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 3>revenge from twenty sixteen. Are you getting nervous yet?

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Not nervous at all? With a caveat surrounding Anthony Davis?

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Obviously so slightly noteous.

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, Anthony Davis got elbowed a head in this game.

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.479
<v Speaker 2>It appeared he suffered a concussion. The Lakers are now

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 2>being cagey about whether or not he did or did

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 2>not suffer a concussion, and we're gonna get the injury

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.359
<v Speaker 2>report later today. If he gets put in a concussion protocol,

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 2>it's almost impossible to clear the protocol by Friday's Game six.

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 2>That would be devastating for the Lakers. No, Anthony Davis

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 2>and blowing the three to one lead is absolutely on

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:03.599
<v Speaker 2>the board of potential out now on Moore, Saint Anthony

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Davis and on concussion protocol in a moment, first, though

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>about last night, nothing about last night was surprising. I

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 2>am now forget that stupid Corgie that's going viral. I

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 2>am a documented eleven for eleven incorrectly picking the winner

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 2>of every single Lakers playoff game, including last night when

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I picked the Golden I'm sorry when I picked the

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Golden State Warriors. The Warriors were not going to lose

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 2>three straight. They were not going to be eliminated at home,

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>and the Lakers were just by nature going to relax

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 2>a bit net because they knew they had Game six

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 2>at home waiting for them. But you got to win

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the game six, and I believe they will win the

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Game six. I even believe they could win the Game

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 2>six if Anthony Davis doesn't play. It would take a

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 2>throwback Lebron performance. But when we say throwback, we don't

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>mean throwback to twenty eighteen. I mean throwback to mid January.

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.160
<v Speaker 2>The month of January, Lebron averaged thirty five points per game. Now,

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 2>that's before he injured his foot, and he has not

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 2>looked quite the same since then. But I wouldn't give

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers a zero percent chance of winning a home

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 2>playoff game against the league's worst road team, even if

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 2>AD is out. But it does drastically change the math

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 2>on the series. And I'll talk about what happened in

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 2>last night's game pre Anthony Davis injury. In a second,

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 2>but first I want to have an honest give you

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 2>my honest thoughts on the NBA when it comes to

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>concussion protocol. And this is not about Anthony Davis. This

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 2>is something I have said publicly and privately before. It's

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.719
<v Speaker 2>not a very popular opinion, but my job isn't necessarily

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 2>be popular. It's to be honest, totally understand why football

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 2>needs a strict and distinct concussion protocol. I get that. Hockey, sure,

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 2>those sports makes all the sense in the world. Basketball,

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, is a little different.

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:38.239
<v Speaker 3>Why it's still the same health for the players.

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Though, but the risk of suffering another concussion is so

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 2>much lower exponentially.

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Well yeah, but also like I feel like I guess so.

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean it is almost Volleyball's one. Sure, so volleyballs

0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 2>and I wasn't I was including like the major American

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 2>prost volleyball, soccer. I have a lot of them because

0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 2>either you have in soccer it's the headers.

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 3>Some very concussion.

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's in volleyball. It's the trajectory of the ball.

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Football and hockey. They are physical, violent contact sports. Anyone

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 2>that plays pro football for any amount of time. It

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:33.360
<v Speaker 2>is it is almost impossible to finish an NFL career

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 2>and have never suffered a concussion. NBA guys can go

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 2>a decade long career and never suffer a concussion. So

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 2>because the risk profile is so different, I am, and

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 2>again I've said this before, this is not about the Lakers,

0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 2>is not about Anthony Davis. I am. I'm okay with

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 2>if a guy once he is here. Let me back

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 2>up a bit, if they think you may have suffered

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:16.359
<v Speaker 2>a concussion in that game and they say you cannot

0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 2>return to that game, I'm totally fine with it. Even

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 2>if the player's like, no, I'm good, I want to go.

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.440
<v Speaker 2>I want to go, because there is the possibility that

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 2>they are not of their right mind. They just they

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 2>might they're not seeing clearly, they're not thinking clearly any

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 2>of those things. But once we are a day removed,

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:42.160
<v Speaker 2>if a player has all his faculties about him and

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 2>is told in basketball, listen, you suffer a concussion. You're

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 2>not exhibiting any symptoms. You feel fine. However, if you

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.440
<v Speaker 2>were to go play and you were to suffer another

0:09:55.559 --> 0:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>concussion in such a short window of time that damnage

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>could be terrible. I am okay with that player saying,

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 2>I hear you, I understand that I am choosing to play,

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 2>just like I'm okay with rock climbers. They say, oh

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 2>my goodness, this is incredibly dangerous, and it says, okay,

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 2>I hear you, I am making the choice. It is

0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:27.680
<v Speaker 2>trickier in sports where concussions are part and parcel with

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 2>the sport, almost the cost of doing business. But in

0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 2>basketball they are so rare that I am okay. And

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.959
<v Speaker 2>I know some doctors out there probably hate hearing me

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:49.680
<v Speaker 2>say this, and they vehemently disagree. So be it. I

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 2>am okay with If somebody says, all right, I understand

0:10:55.679 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 2>the cost benefit analysis, I've done the risk profile of this.

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.079
<v Speaker 2>I am comfortable taking that risk because I want to

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.080
<v Speaker 2>try to win a championship, because I want to keep playing.

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 2>And so I don't know what's gonna happen with Anthony

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:17.319
<v Speaker 2>Davis now if he plays. There were some things last

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 2>night that make me even more optimistic about the Lakers' chances.

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 2>The Warriors were absolutely lights out from three in the

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 2>first quarter of that game, and they could not separate.

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 2>The Lakers had found a way for large parts of

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 2>that game to score effectively, efficiently and somewhat easily on

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.280
<v Speaker 2>that Warriors defense. And it was a three point game

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:57.280
<v Speaker 2>with a minute left in the first half. The very

0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 2>end of the first half was brutal. The Lakers then

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 2>cut it to seven, cut it to eight, cut it

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 2>to nine. Then Ad goes out with an injury, and

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 2>the wind is out of the sales. And so nothing

0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.200
<v Speaker 2>from yesterday's game makes me feel like, Oh, the Warriors

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>solved the problems the Lakers present to him. And I

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:24.320
<v Speaker 2>know Steve Kerr has talked about wanting to wear down

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Lebron and Anthony Davis. Well, that knife cuts both ways,

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 2>because you absolutely run the risk of wearing down Steph Curry,

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 2>the smallest guy out there that has the ball in

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.520
<v Speaker 2>his hands all the time, and he played. Steph played

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:44.600
<v Speaker 2>another forty minutes last night seven game series in round

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 2>one high minutes throughout this series in super high usage. Now,

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 2>speaking of Steve, the other noteworthy thing about last night's

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 2>game is the referees basically decided we're gonna let them

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 2>both sides play with reckless abandon That obviously impacts the

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Lakers far more than it impacts the Warriors because of

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 2>their styles of play, and because Draymond, if you give

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 2>him that latitude, will, to his credit, take as much

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:22.840
<v Speaker 2>advantage of it as is possible. I do think Steve

0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Kerr had a little gamesmanship when he was whining about

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:33.199
<v Speaker 2>the alleged flopping on what were clear and obvious illegal screens.

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:40.559
<v Speaker 2>And I think that he got a very favorable whistle yesterday.

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 2>But that is part of playoff basketball. Part of playoff

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:49.959
<v Speaker 2>basketball is working the refs, setting the narratives and getting

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 2>a favorable whistle at home. And so we'll see what

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:58.319
<v Speaker 2>it looks like in Game six. Gonna I'm gonna guess

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis is gonna play, and if Ad plays, the

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Lakers win. If he doesn't play, it's gonna take a

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.439
<v Speaker 2>thirty five, ten and ten from Lebron, which would be

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 2>an epic performance. But that is obviously a lot to

0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 2>ask of a guy in year twenty at age thirty eight.

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Next, the Celtics are on the verge of collapse. No

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 3>amount of Demonte's sweets can save them. Now, are the

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 3>Celtics cooked or do you think Doc has one more

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 3>collapse left in him?

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Well? I don't think the Celtics are cooked, but they're

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>in real trouble. It is in play that the Celtics comeback,

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 2>that Harden has back to back brutal games, or just

0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:49.640
<v Speaker 2>one brutal game, that Embid doesn't play well, and the

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Sixers blow a three to two lead. I'm not gonna

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 2>act like this series is over at three to two.

0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:00.800
<v Speaker 2>What I will act like is this though. The The

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 2>amount of respect the Celtics have gotten despite not looking great,

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 2>like truly great in more than a month, is baffling

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 2>to me. They are a poorly coach team that for

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 2>two straight years has been bad in clutch situations, whose

0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 2>second star in Jalen Brown, seems to be going through

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 2>his own stuff. You don't know if you're gonna get

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:38.240
<v Speaker 2>start to finish. Good performances from Jason Tatum in two

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 2>of the last three games he's or back to back

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 2>games or two last three, I'm not sure he's the

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:47.440
<v Speaker 2>first quarter plus of the game, he's hasn't made a shot.

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.480
<v Speaker 2>And Philly, on the other hand, has been the best

0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 2>team in the league from a record standpoint since the

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 2>middle of December, the best team in the league since

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.880
<v Speaker 2>the All Star break. They have the league MVP. Harden

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 2>has played a few of his best playoff games in years,

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:12.680
<v Speaker 2>including two of his best playoff games ever in this series.

0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 2>They are a deep team and no one wants to

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 2>believe in them. It was legitimately surprising to me how

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:27.520
<v Speaker 2>many people who voted for joe El Embiid for League

0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 2>MVP did so evidently believing that he was not going

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 2>to play anything like in MVP. Once the playoffs started,

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 2>and he was excellent in game five. He was very

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 2>good until the very end of Game six, and I sorry,

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:52.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to help your Mike dieor and I'm sorry.

0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I had the excellent until the very end of game four,

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 2>I should say, but then Al Horford started giving him

0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:04.639
<v Speaker 2>real trouble. And this is setting up very nicely for Philly,

0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.240
<v Speaker 2>which the only team left in the playoffs that has

0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 2>home court over Philly is Boston. So if Philly wins,

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.200
<v Speaker 2>they have home court in the conference finals against almost

0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 2>assuredly the Heat, maybe the Knicks, but they have a

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.760
<v Speaker 2>home court either way, and then a home court against

0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 2>anyone that comes out of the West. And Embiid's knee

0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:28.680
<v Speaker 2>is looking stronger. This is setting up very well for them,

0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:32.560
<v Speaker 2>which is why if they were to lose these two games,

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:39.240
<v Speaker 2>it is a devastating blow that we talk legacy. Joel

0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:43.439
<v Speaker 2>Embiid currently the only MVP in league history to have

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 2>never made a conference finals. He can change that tonight.

0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:49.879
<v Speaker 2>But if they lose tonight and then lose a game seven,

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 2>some tough questions to answer in Philly flip side. If

0:17:54.840 --> 0:18:02.600
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics get bounced in round two, major changes are

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 2>coming to that team. The head coach probably isn't going

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.280
<v Speaker 2>to be back. They didn't ever really even want that

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.919
<v Speaker 2>guy's I mean, that was a kind of break glass

0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 2>in case of emergency situation for their head coach. Now,

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:20.199
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Brown made all NBA, so they can give him

0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the Supermax, but he sure doesn't seem to want to

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:28.359
<v Speaker 2>be a Celtic. And for the Celtics, over the last

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:36.399
<v Speaker 2>seven years, when they have had minimal expectations, they have

0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:41.160
<v Speaker 2>far exceeded them, and when they have had big expectations,

0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:44.960
<v Speaker 2>they have fallen short. I'll do this off the top

0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:49.640
<v Speaker 2>of my head, but the Celtics, dating back twenty seventeen,

0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:55.879
<v Speaker 2>they have little Isaiah Thomas, Jalen Brown's a rookie, Jason

0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Tatum's not even there yet, and they find themselves in

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:04.680
<v Speaker 2>the conference finals, where they of course get rolled by Lebron.

0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Twenty eighteen, big time expectations. They draft Tatum, they trade

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 2>for Kyrie, They sign Gordon Hayward. Gordon Hayward breaks his

0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 2>leg in Game one. Kyrie then gets hurt late in

0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:30.040
<v Speaker 2>the year. Going into the playoffs, they're seemingly without their

0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:34.880
<v Speaker 2>two best players. Minimal expectations. They find themselves in the

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:40.920
<v Speaker 2>conference finals again against Lebron, up three to two. Lebron

0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 2>has two magnificent games and they lose, but still everything's

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:49.960
<v Speaker 2>looking up. Twenty nineteen, they are the overwhelming favorites in

0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the Eastern Conference. They flame out in round two, four

0:19:56.040 --> 0:20:01.480
<v Speaker 2>straight losses to Milwaukee. Kyrie's a disaster. They go nowhere, essentially.

0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:07.920
<v Speaker 2>So that's two conference finals seventeen and eighteen. Nineteen doesn't

0:20:07.920 --> 0:20:12.880
<v Speaker 2>work out for him. Twenty twenty was twenty twenty oh

0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:18.640
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty is is that the that's the bubble?

0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 2>You know?

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:20.760
<v Speaker 3>I had faith in standard time.

0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Today I thought I might too, but I'm now I

0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:26.800
<v Speaker 2>gotta remember what the Celtics did in twenty twenty, because

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:30.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one they lost to the Nets. Twenty twenty two,

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:33.280
<v Speaker 2>they get all the way to the finals, and then

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:36.640
<v Speaker 2>this year they were damn near a pick them against

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:40.600
<v Speaker 2>the field to win the title two weeks ago, and

0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:46.080
<v Speaker 2>now they could be home after round two and significant

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.320
<v Speaker 2>changes would be on the way if that were to happen.

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 2>I think it does happen. I think Philly wins tonight next.

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:55.399
<v Speaker 3>Okay, the Suns are on life supports after getting blown

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:58.680
<v Speaker 3>out again in Denver. You've always been a Yokic hater,

0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:02.600
<v Speaker 3>but if he beat KD and Booker, are you officially

0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 3>a joker guy?

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 2>Listen? He's been outstanding and I have not been everyone.

0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:11.119
<v Speaker 2>I've not been a Jokic hater. I have been a skeptic,

0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 2>and I did not think he deserved the two MVPs

0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:19.399
<v Speaker 2>he won. Now, oddly, had he not won those two MVPs,

0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:21.600
<v Speaker 2>I would have been okay with him winning this year.

0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:25.240
<v Speaker 2>But he certainly shouldn't win three straight. But he's been

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:31.960
<v Speaker 2>awesome and the Nuggets look really good. I know the

0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Suns are favored tonight. I really like Denver Tonight. I

0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:39.320
<v Speaker 2>think Denver goes to Phoenix and wins. I think Denver

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:42.320
<v Speaker 2>is clearly the better team. They are the deeper team

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:46.320
<v Speaker 2>and Phoenix. They were getting nothing out of their bench,

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 2>so they started playing different bench guys. But you see

0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:55.159
<v Speaker 2>why Terrence Ross and TJ. Warren weren't playing earlier because

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.760
<v Speaker 2>while they give you a bit of a threat offensively,

0:21:58.280 --> 0:22:03.040
<v Speaker 2>defensively they bring nothing to the table. And you can't

0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:06.359
<v Speaker 2>just play you can't play competent playoff defense with those

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 2>guys getting significant minutes. That right now, the Suns. Not

0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 2>to mention sham at others, the Suns are a two

0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:20.280
<v Speaker 2>man team. There is not a single player now that

0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Chris Paul's hurt on the Suns other than Booker and

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Durant that would crack the Nuggets rotation. Jo Kich's Yo Kitch.

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Booker and Durant are the three best players in this series.

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:40.120
<v Speaker 2>The next seven guys are all Nuggets, and that includes

0:22:40.160 --> 0:22:44.280
<v Speaker 2>DeAndre Ayton, who you've gotta think that tonight could be

0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:47.080
<v Speaker 2>his final game as a Sun. I like the Nuggets

0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:47.919
<v Speaker 2>to night a lot, all right.

0:22:48.040 --> 0:22:51.439
<v Speaker 3>Next, the all NBA team shopped last night. Tatam and

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:55.800
<v Speaker 3>Brown are both super Max eligible, and Job being snubbed

0:22:56.000 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 3>cost him millions. What were your takeaways? And please don't

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:01.159
<v Speaker 3>make this all okay?

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:06.680
<v Speaker 2>So a few takeaways. The Jaw thing is crazy, so Diora.

0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:09.639
<v Speaker 2>The way NBA contracts work is you can sign a

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:12.320
<v Speaker 2>max contract. It's the most they're allowed to pay you.

0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:15.040
<v Speaker 2>It depends on how old you are. It gets more

0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:17.200
<v Speaker 2>the longer you've been in the league. But then there's

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:22.399
<v Speaker 2>a supermax contract, right, So supermax is if you're on

0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.399
<v Speaker 2>a max contract but reach some threshold, certain number of

0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:28.760
<v Speaker 2>all NBA teams, League MVP, stuff like that, then they

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:33.639
<v Speaker 2>can pay you even more. So Jaws contract that he

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:38.240
<v Speaker 2>has already signed would have gone up in value by

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:43.320
<v Speaker 2>thirty nine million dollars. Wow, had he been All NBA.

0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:49.720
<v Speaker 2>And he wasn't All NBA because he missed a few

0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:53.800
<v Speaker 2>weeks in the middle of the season because he went

0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 2>on IG Live from a strip club with a gun

0:23:57.000 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 2>in his hand. So it is not an exaggeration to

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:10.840
<v Speaker 2>say that dumbass video cost him thirty nine million guaranteed dollars.

0:24:11.600 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy, and you know he came close just for

0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:23.840
<v Speaker 2>just so you guys understand, he finished with out of

0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 2>this so six guards, make it six forwards, three sinners, right,

0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:34.680
<v Speaker 2>He finished seventh amongst guards in voting, so first guy

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:37.879
<v Speaker 2>out for the All NBA voting, he still could have

0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 2>made it. Like he wasn't ineligible because of the incident.

0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:43.320
<v Speaker 2>He just he missed Timon so not enough people voted

0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:48.479
<v Speaker 2>for him. But so jah, I mean, Jock cost himself

0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:52.040
<v Speaker 2>thirty nine million bucks. That is a takeaway. I thought

0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:56.600
<v Speaker 2>dearon Fox was too low. He was third team. I

0:24:56.720 --> 0:25:00.879
<v Speaker 2>didn't like I Listen, nobody loves Luca more than Luca

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:04.280
<v Speaker 2>was first team. That was crazy. His team finished in

0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:08.080
<v Speaker 2>eleventh place. Like, I don't love that the two first

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 2>team guards, Shay and Luca, both of their teams missed

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:15.359
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs entirely. You guys said, don't make it all

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:17.680
<v Speaker 2>about Lebron. Well, I do have to acknowledge this part

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:21.199
<v Speaker 2>on Lebron. This is now nineteen years in a row.

0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:25.720
<v Speaker 2>He's on in all nbaighteen. The next most all NBA

0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:31.880
<v Speaker 2>selections from anyone is Duncan, Kobe and Kareem with fifteen each.

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Lebron's at nineteen, Bird and Magic combined for twenty. Lebron

0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:44.120
<v Speaker 2>is at nineteen. And however, what is interesting is Lebron

0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:47.840
<v Speaker 2>was got the least amount of votes of anyone that

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:50.160
<v Speaker 2>made any of the teams, so he came in fifteenth

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.360
<v Speaker 2>out of the fifteen guys that make it. The guy

0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:57.040
<v Speaker 2>who came in sixteenth, oddly enough, was Anthony Davis. So

0:25:57.119 --> 0:26:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Davis. You know, Lebron kind of took AD's All

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:04.359
<v Speaker 2>NBA spot, if you will. He came in sixteenth. Lebron

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:09.560
<v Speaker 2>came in fifteenth. Nothing else really jumped out at me.

0:26:10.880 --> 0:26:13.760
<v Speaker 2>I think it is interesting looking at the playoffs this

0:26:13.840 --> 0:26:16.960
<v Speaker 2>year that Booker missed, but it's because he missed time.

0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:23.360
<v Speaker 2>But he's been unbelievable. Jannis was unanimous first team, which

0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 2>I found noteworthy, Embeed getting his first ever first team.

0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Janni's Tatum, Embiid were pretty clear cut to me. Your

0:26:30.840 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 2>three forward spots, the question was the guard spots, and

0:26:34.440 --> 0:26:39.040
<v Speaker 2>also Damian Lillard. Despite Portland's terrible year, he did make it,

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 2>which ended up costing. You know, some people would have

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 2>said Josh should have gotten that spot, or Jalen Brunson

0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:48.840
<v Speaker 2>should have gotten that spot. Julius Randall was the one

0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:52.399
<v Speaker 2>Nick represented, but I think the All NBA voters actually

0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:54.679
<v Speaker 2>did a pretty damn good job this year. And Jalen

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Brown made All NBA, which does mean he is now

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:03.160
<v Speaker 2>super Man eligible. All right, take quick break, come back,

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:07.040
<v Speaker 2>we play a game, our game right end, and also

0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:10.840
<v Speaker 2>we discussed the Bob Huggins situation. That's all next, well's right.

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 3>Welcome Back Episode one fifty.

0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I didn't even interrupt you that time. Good job,

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:56.439
<v Speaker 2>good welcome back there. Uh, I am gonna jump in

0:27:56.880 --> 0:27:59.439
<v Speaker 2>right here. How well, sorry, we have an you can

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:01.159
<v Speaker 2>do it for the sea block and I won't ruin it,

0:28:01.480 --> 0:28:04.440
<v Speaker 2>but we have I need to give an important disclaimer here.

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:08.040
<v Speaker 2>So we're gonna have some fun and play a game

0:28:08.080 --> 0:28:13.280
<v Speaker 2>in a few minutes. But legendary college basketball coach Bob

0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Huggins has been suspended, had a salary cut a million dollars,

0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 2>and he's gonna have to go undergo sensitivity training and

0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 2>some other things because he repeatedly uttered the worst homophobic

0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:34.960
<v Speaker 2>slurs that exists while joking around on what I can

0:28:35.000 --> 0:28:38.000
<v Speaker 2>only describe as what must be one of the worst

0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:43.680
<v Speaker 2>radio shows in America. And I was debating how I

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:47.520
<v Speaker 2>wanted to discuss this, because I think it is actually

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:53.800
<v Speaker 2>there is a larger discussion to be had, but I

0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:59.080
<v Speaker 2>think it is important to hear exactly what he said

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 2>in the full context of what he said. So we

0:29:04.480 --> 0:29:10.200
<v Speaker 2>are going to play about forty five seconds of Bob

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Huggins audio exactly how it aired on the radio station WLWAM,

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 2>So there is not going to be any beeps here,

0:29:22.120 --> 0:29:27.120
<v Speaker 2>so there is This is my full disclaimer that you're

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:33.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna hear some really awful language, and we'll play it

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 2>here in the next thirty seconds. So if you want

0:29:35.680 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 2>to hear the discussion, we don't want to hear the language,

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:40.960
<v Speaker 2>just come back to us in ninety seconds. And this

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:47.720
<v Speaker 2>is also my apology for anybody that is unmoored by

0:29:47.800 --> 0:29:52.960
<v Speaker 2>hearing this homophobic slur. I am not doing it for

0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:58.360
<v Speaker 2>shock value or for any reason other than I think

0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:04.080
<v Speaker 2>it is important to hear it how exactly how it

0:30:04.160 --> 0:30:09.760
<v Speaker 2>was uttered and then uttered again, and hear his and

0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:16.240
<v Speaker 2>the host's reactions to it. This is a conversation about

0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:21.080
<v Speaker 2>getting athletes out of the transfer portal. Huggins alludes to

0:30:21.480 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 2>sex toys having been thrown on the court during a game,

0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:29.120
<v Speaker 2>and here's the audio from w l W. Let's play it.

0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:32.760
<v Speaker 4>I tell you what, any any school that can throw

0:30:32.840 --> 0:30:35.440
<v Speaker 4>rubber penises on the floor and then say they didn't

0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:37.200
<v Speaker 4>do it, My god, they can get.

0:30:37.040 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Away with anything, rubber peace. That was it a crosstown shootout?

0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:45.120
<v Speaker 1>It was transgender night, wasn't it was.

0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:49.000
<v Speaker 2>A crosstown shootout? Yeah? No, what it was was all

0:30:49.040 --> 0:30:57.000
<v Speaker 2>those those guys like fine, they were very envious. They

0:30:57.000 --> 0:31:02.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't have one stave. Your comments about Bob Huggins is.

0:31:04.080 --> 0:31:06.040
<v Speaker 3>The best.

0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So just blatant, unmitigated hate speech with a little

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:21.520
<v Speaker 2>from one of the hosts. Transphobia dropped in there for

0:31:21.880 --> 0:31:25.280
<v Speaker 2>like no reason, no reason, I mean, is a total

0:31:25.360 --> 0:31:31.080
<v Speaker 2>non sequitor, right, and then everybody yucking it up, everybody laughing.

0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:34.440
<v Speaker 3>And right after he said it, the like moment of

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:38.480
<v Speaker 3>silence and like that awkward laugh moment because they like

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:40.520
<v Speaker 3>didn't know what to do. But at the same time

0:31:40.560 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of like.

0:31:41.400 --> 0:31:44.360
<v Speaker 2>But then they immediately said, he Huggs is the best.

0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Hudgs is they he speaks his mind, tells it like

0:31:47.560 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 2>it is, He's the best. So there's a few branches

0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:56.600
<v Speaker 2>of this tree. The first one is this him not

0:31:56.680 --> 0:32:03.120
<v Speaker 2>being fired for this is horrifying. So just the other day,

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:07.840
<v Speaker 2>there's a baseball game in Kansas City and did you

0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:12.360
<v Speaker 2>see this? Youra the negro Okay, So baseball and Kansas City,

0:32:12.400 --> 0:32:19.200
<v Speaker 2>an announcer says, had an amazing time today, aid Arthur

0:32:19.200 --> 0:32:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Bryant and got a tour. And he didn't say Negro

0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:28.000
<v Speaker 2>League museum. He said the in word league museum. Woh wow.

0:32:29.480 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 2>That to me is far different than this because that

0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:42.560
<v Speaker 2>so the reason I bring that up is I am

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:46.800
<v Speaker 2>not saying there are certain things that no matter the context,

0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:51.720
<v Speaker 2>no matter anything, if you say it, you're axed, You're done.

0:32:52.800 --> 0:32:55.080
<v Speaker 2>The in word is probably the most hurtful word in

0:32:55.120 --> 0:33:07.080
<v Speaker 2>the English language because there is some what's the word,

0:33:08.120 --> 0:33:10.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say, a plausible deniability, but it

0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:12.760
<v Speaker 2>is not as one hundred percent cut and dry. This

0:33:12.920 --> 0:33:18.480
<v Speaker 2>was intentional to hurt people that I am not. I

0:33:18.520 --> 0:33:20.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't even put it on the show. I'm not saying

0:33:20.920 --> 0:33:24.360
<v Speaker 2>that guy should be fired. Bob Kendrick, my very good friend,

0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Bob Kendrick, who runs the Negro League Museum in Kansas City,

0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:30.040
<v Speaker 2>who gave that man a tour, came out with a

0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:35.000
<v Speaker 2>statement saying, I heard it. It's incredibly unfortunate. But I

0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 2>come from a place of forgiveness and grace, and I

0:33:37.560 --> 0:33:41.480
<v Speaker 2>think we should, you know, give that there. I would

0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:45.120
<v Speaker 2>want more information on something like that. Talk to the

0:33:45.120 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 2>guy's colleagues. Does he use racist language a lot? Is

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:51.000
<v Speaker 2>there a reason to believe that maybe it was truly

0:33:51.160 --> 0:33:53.880
<v Speaker 2>just a slip of the tongue those things, This is

0:33:54.000 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 2>not that, and this isn't and.

0:33:56.680 --> 0:33:58.920
<v Speaker 3>This is where he can deny anything.

0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, and this is where to me, the conversation

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:13.799
<v Speaker 2>is interesting, because if he had been fired, that is

0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:24.600
<v Speaker 2>not cancel culture. That is accountability. That is there being

0:34:25.400 --> 0:34:32.239
<v Speaker 2>repercussions for your actions and your choices. And we have

0:34:32.440 --> 0:34:42.839
<v Speaker 2>gotten to a dangerous place where I feel like in

0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:49.600
<v Speaker 2>certain quarters there is the feeling that we are the pendulum.

0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:52.279
<v Speaker 2>I think some people feel like the pendulum swung too

0:34:52.360 --> 0:34:59.759
<v Speaker 2>far in the PC direction that everyone's worried about pro

0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:03.480
<v Speaker 2>and you're not supposed to say, like I'm gonna use

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:06.840
<v Speaker 2>the generic examples people use. You're not supposed to say homeless,

0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:09.359
<v Speaker 2>You're supposed to say temporarily on hows and these things

0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:12.000
<v Speaker 2>that people feel like it's swung too far that way,

0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 2>the language police, and now I think people feel like,

0:35:18.160 --> 0:35:21.120
<v Speaker 2>not only is it swinging back to an equilibrium, but

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:25.440
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna swing further to where I.

0:35:25.320 --> 0:35:30.000
<v Speaker 3>Can reverting to the way that they were well and

0:35:30.239 --> 0:35:31.080
<v Speaker 3>years ago.

0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 2>And I would say worse. I would say, in many ways,

0:35:33.200 --> 0:35:38.520
<v Speaker 2>reverting worse to where it is a far more meaner

0:35:39.200 --> 0:35:44.840
<v Speaker 2>spirited They're in the the pre PC culture, if you will.

0:35:45.880 --> 0:35:49.960
<v Speaker 2>There was a lot of things that were said flippantly

0:35:50.680 --> 0:35:54.759
<v Speaker 2>that now would be viewed as very offensive, but it

0:35:54.920 --> 0:36:01.760
<v Speaker 2>was not always said with intent to hurt or dehumanize.

0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:04.560
<v Speaker 2>I just real quick here on the I want to

0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:07.640
<v Speaker 2>finish this point that we can have the discussion Bob

0:36:07.760 --> 0:36:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Huggins there twice this and also this is not Oh

0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:20.040
<v Speaker 2>my god. You know Bob Huggins caught on audio was

0:36:20.080 --> 0:36:24.840
<v Speaker 2>having a private conversation. Someone was recording it. He didn't

0:36:24.880 --> 0:36:31.919
<v Speaker 2>know it. He's on the radio representing a public university

0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:37.480
<v Speaker 2>where his job is to help shape and mold young people.

0:36:39.360 --> 0:36:47.479
<v Speaker 2>And he twice says the F word, the homophobic slur

0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:56.640
<v Speaker 2>F word, in the way it is intended to be used,

0:36:56.680 --> 0:37:01.200
<v Speaker 2>if you will, which is to try to masculate or

0:37:01.280 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 2>demean gay men. He's talking about people throwing sex toys

0:37:07.600 --> 0:37:12.919
<v Speaker 2>on the court and then calls them catholic bleeps. And

0:37:14.160 --> 0:37:20.360
<v Speaker 2>the fact that West Virginia believes they can get away

0:37:20.440 --> 0:37:25.360
<v Speaker 2>with not firing him is to me a bit of

0:37:25.400 --> 0:37:31.960
<v Speaker 2>a canary in the coal mine of folks are going

0:37:32.040 --> 0:37:38.879
<v Speaker 2>to continue to try to push these lines and just say,

0:37:39.520 --> 0:37:45.160
<v Speaker 2>bleep you. The power has shifted. We will do and

0:37:45.160 --> 0:37:51.000
<v Speaker 2>say what we want. And I am not the guy

0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:56.879
<v Speaker 2>that calls for firings or tries to gin up.

0:37:57.560 --> 0:37:59.600
<v Speaker 3>He needs to be some kind of punishment or it's

0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:00.760
<v Speaker 3>just gonna keep happening.

0:38:00.920 --> 0:38:06.600
<v Speaker 2>There has to be accountability for obvious black and white

0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:13.960
<v Speaker 2>things and we and I'm not going to go through

0:38:14.000 --> 0:38:17.799
<v Speaker 2>the strawman of what about free speech, because anyone with

0:38:17.920 --> 0:38:21.600
<v Speaker 2>half a brain knows free speech.

0:38:21.320 --> 0:38:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Is a hate speech.

0:38:22.880 --> 0:38:26.839
<v Speaker 2>Well no, well here's that not necessarily but no, but

0:38:27.000 --> 0:38:31.200
<v Speaker 2>free speech simply means that Bob Huggins can't be arrested

0:38:31.239 --> 0:38:34.680
<v Speaker 2>for what he says. All that free speech means is

0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:43.439
<v Speaker 2>the government cannot penalize or imprison you for what you

0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:46.480
<v Speaker 2>say as long as it is not inciting violence. That

0:38:46.640 --> 0:38:52.080
<v Speaker 2>is free speech. Free speech is not freedom of consequences

0:38:52.280 --> 0:38:57.600
<v Speaker 2>for anything you say. And the idea that you could

0:38:57.640 --> 0:39:03.840
<v Speaker 2>be He's the high, bighest or second highest paid public

0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:07.960
<v Speaker 2>employee in the state of West Virginia. The only person

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:12.960
<v Speaker 2>who makes more is the head football coach. The idea

0:39:13.560 --> 0:39:16.960
<v Speaker 2>that you could be the public facing face of any

0:39:17.160 --> 0:39:22.839
<v Speaker 2>major company in America. Say that and not lose your

0:39:22.920 --> 0:39:34.120
<v Speaker 2>gig for it is unnerving to me and so and listen.

0:39:35.440 --> 0:39:39.279
<v Speaker 2>I am on live television ten hours a week. I

0:39:39.360 --> 0:39:46.080
<v Speaker 2>do this live. Trust me. I am always anxious about

0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:53.080
<v Speaker 2>the fact that it takes one bad moment to potentially

0:39:54.320 --> 0:40:00.200
<v Speaker 2>wreck everything I've worked for my entire life. But this

0:40:00.400 --> 0:40:06.560
<v Speaker 2>wasn't a bad moment. This was an intentional punchline of

0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:14.360
<v Speaker 2>a joke, said twice. This wasn't a whoops, right, It

0:40:14.440 --> 0:40:19.440
<v Speaker 2>wasn't a mistake. He said it with his chest like

0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:24.600
<v Speaker 2>he it was. It was to illicit the exact response.

0:40:24.640 --> 0:40:33.120
<v Speaker 2>He got giggles from those clowns, and and if people

0:40:33.160 --> 0:40:35.680
<v Speaker 2>think I'm meaning too hard on the radio host. I

0:40:35.719 --> 0:40:41.320
<v Speaker 2>did live radio for a decade. I absolutely had people

0:40:41.800 --> 0:40:44.640
<v Speaker 2>that had come on the show, be callers or guests

0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:51.920
<v Speaker 2>multiple times that said wildly out of line things. It

0:40:52.040 --> 0:40:54.200
<v Speaker 2>is your job in that moment.

0:40:54.680 --> 0:40:55.840
<v Speaker 3>Like, hey, that's not okay.

0:40:57.920 --> 0:41:01.880
<v Speaker 2>It is your job in that moment to stand on

0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:07.800
<v Speaker 2>what's right, no pun intended. And it's not always easy,

0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:12.800
<v Speaker 2>and it's not always fun, and there are certain times

0:41:12.920 --> 0:41:18.120
<v Speaker 2>where you can it's you know, what they said was

0:41:18.239 --> 0:41:21.799
<v Speaker 2>kind of inappropriate, but not something you wouldn't have said.

0:41:21.840 --> 0:41:24.480
<v Speaker 2>But it's not a big enough deal that you're going

0:41:24.560 --> 0:41:28.160
<v Speaker 2>to you know, you're going to, you know, stop down

0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:34.840
<v Speaker 2>the interview. This was as bad as it gets. Go ahead.

0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:38.879
<v Speaker 3>And also like when when I was looking at the video,

0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:40.640
<v Speaker 3>I was looking at the comments and people were like,

0:41:40.719 --> 0:41:43.920
<v Speaker 3>imagine losing a million dollars for saying a word. But

0:41:44.000 --> 0:41:48.760
<v Speaker 3>it's also like things like that, it's like saying the word.

0:41:49.480 --> 0:41:52.520
<v Speaker 3>And then just because you said he's the highest paid, correct,

0:41:53.040 --> 0:41:56.120
<v Speaker 3>so losing a million dollars to him, it's is he

0:41:56.239 --> 0:41:57.560
<v Speaker 3>still the highest paid.

0:41:57.400 --> 0:42:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Well the second highest paid, and yes, uh for public

0:42:00.520 --> 0:42:02.680
<v Speaker 2>employees in the state of West Virginia.

0:42:02.920 --> 0:42:05.280
<v Speaker 3>And I'm sure this isn't gonna make him just stop

0:42:05.360 --> 0:42:06.319
<v Speaker 3>doing the.

0:42:06.440 --> 0:42:11.319
<v Speaker 2>Well Listen, people roll their eyes at sensitivity training. If

0:42:11.320 --> 0:42:14.640
<v Speaker 2>he actually does sensitivity training, believe it or not, can

0:42:15.560 --> 0:42:20.719
<v Speaker 2>really work. I think most people that throw around that

0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:25.560
<v Speaker 2>slur the F word, slur the moment they go to

0:42:25.840 --> 0:42:32.480
<v Speaker 2>a seminar or something. And here the first hand accounts

0:42:32.520 --> 0:42:39.520
<v Speaker 2>from multiple gay men about how this was what I

0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:44.240
<v Speaker 2>heard being yelled at me when I was in junior

0:42:44.320 --> 0:42:49.880
<v Speaker 2>high school and high school getting beat up. This was

0:42:49.920 --> 0:42:54.720
<v Speaker 2>what was was said while people were attacking me because

0:42:54.760 --> 0:42:59.120
<v Speaker 2>of who I am, which is talked to any gay

0:42:59.200 --> 0:43:04.680
<v Speaker 2>man you know above the age of thirty and ask

0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:08.080
<v Speaker 2>them if that word has been hurled at them in

0:43:08.160 --> 0:43:12.799
<v Speaker 2>the midst of physical violence. My guess is eight out

0:43:12.800 --> 0:43:14.840
<v Speaker 2>of ten are going to tell you, yes, if you

0:43:14.920 --> 0:43:22.440
<v Speaker 2>have any type of conscience hearing that can change your behavior.

0:43:24.160 --> 0:43:30.480
<v Speaker 2>But that does not mean there should not be true

0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:34.719
<v Speaker 2>repercussions for that behavior. And when people are like, oh,

0:43:34.840 --> 0:43:38.480
<v Speaker 2>losing a million dollars for a word, guys, words are,

0:43:39.160 --> 0:43:42.919
<v Speaker 2>for the vast majority of us, the most powerful thing

0:43:43.120 --> 0:43:49.360
<v Speaker 2>we have. Most of us. Do not fight, do not shoot,

0:43:49.719 --> 0:43:55.880
<v Speaker 2>do not stab the most of the most powerful vehicle

0:43:56.360 --> 0:44:01.480
<v Speaker 2>we have to cause joy or pain in another human being.

0:44:01.719 --> 0:44:05.640
<v Speaker 2>For the vast majority of us is our words, the

0:44:05.760 --> 0:44:12.120
<v Speaker 2>messages we send, and the idea that, oh, you shouldn't

0:44:12.160 --> 0:44:14.960
<v Speaker 2>lose your job, Then what the should you lose your

0:44:15.080 --> 0:44:21.120
<v Speaker 2>job for? And if you're West Virginia, and there's the

0:44:21.160 --> 0:44:28.560
<v Speaker 2>tricky part, you were setting yourself up to be such

0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:33.800
<v Speaker 2>a laughing stock. Because here's the fact of the matter.

0:44:35.040 --> 0:44:38.839
<v Speaker 2>If West Virginia, when he comes back from his suspension,

0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:46.480
<v Speaker 2>loses ten straight basketball games, he will be fired. So

0:44:46.560 --> 0:44:49.359
<v Speaker 2>don't act like there's nothing you'll fire him for. And

0:44:50.080 --> 0:44:55.920
<v Speaker 2>here's the other thing. If he used in the same

0:44:56.000 --> 0:45:00.720
<v Speaker 2>type of joking manner, whatever it is, the ward there,

0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:07.560
<v Speaker 2>he would have been fired, I believe, because I can't

0:45:07.600 --> 0:45:12.560
<v Speaker 2>effectively coach college basketball and everybody knows you're a racist.

0:45:14.600 --> 0:45:21.759
<v Speaker 2>But because West Virginia determined we do we think we

0:45:21.880 --> 0:45:25.920
<v Speaker 2>have any gay guys on the team? Do we think this?

0:45:27.880 --> 0:45:32.439
<v Speaker 2>It's not gonna affect his ability to recruit, right, And

0:45:33.640 --> 0:45:38.200
<v Speaker 2>so it is because he singled out a marginalized group

0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:43.480
<v Speaker 2>that West Virginia decided was not important enough to what

0:45:43.680 --> 0:45:49.200
<v Speaker 2>he does to have a real, real significant impact. And

0:45:49.200 --> 0:45:53.359
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, I'll say this, I'm thirty eight

0:45:53.440 --> 0:45:56.520
<v Speaker 2>years old. Okay. I graduated high school in two thousand

0:45:56.520 --> 0:46:05.200
<v Speaker 2>and three. I was in college three to seven. Absolutely

0:46:05.960 --> 0:46:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I have on my record throwing around gay and even

0:46:18.640 --> 0:46:24.719
<v Speaker 2>that word while joking with my high school buddies, and probably,

0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:31.000
<v Speaker 2>if I'm being honest, my college buddies, and I can't.

0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:33.280
<v Speaker 2>I can say is a different time? Wasn't that different

0:46:33.280 --> 0:46:39.080
<v Speaker 2>of a time twenty years ago? Not that I'm proud of,

0:46:40.280 --> 0:46:44.719
<v Speaker 2>but I became more aware of the impact of it,

0:46:45.280 --> 0:46:56.719
<v Speaker 2>grew up, matured, and not anywhere in my vernacular. Bob

0:46:56.840 --> 0:47:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Huggins is a sick see something, Your old grown ass

0:47:02.160 --> 0:47:14.239
<v Speaker 2>man doing this publicly for laughs. It's shameful behavior. All right,

0:47:14.280 --> 0:47:16.360
<v Speaker 2>You want to try to have some fun before we

0:47:16.400 --> 0:47:20.920
<v Speaker 2>get to listener questions and comments. Yeah, let's turn the page.

0:47:21.400 --> 0:47:25.600
<v Speaker 2>What game are we playing? Oh you've got the whiteboards? Wow,

0:47:25.880 --> 0:47:28.960
<v Speaker 2>demons always stunk at the white boards. Oh look look

0:47:29.000 --> 0:47:30.759
<v Speaker 2>at what do you look at? First of all, look

0:47:30.760 --> 0:47:33.560
<v Speaker 2>at the image. Do you ever wrote something nice on

0:47:33.600 --> 0:47:37.080
<v Speaker 2>our white boards? It says, let's play a game of

0:47:37.200 --> 0:47:40.759
<v Speaker 2>write ends? Thank you scoot? All right, let me have

0:47:40.880 --> 0:47:43.719
<v Speaker 2>the marker and then go ahead and ask the first question.

0:47:45.080 --> 0:47:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Your speech hit Chi super Bowl? I can't goodness, okay,

0:47:54.000 --> 0:47:57.080
<v Speaker 3>your Super Bowl champion Chiefs will open the season on

0:47:57.160 --> 0:48:01.839
<v Speaker 3>Thursday night at home against the Lions. That should be blake, all.

0:48:01.840 --> 0:48:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Right, I'm gonna should be uh will be this. It

0:48:13.719 --> 0:48:17.920
<v Speaker 2>should be nine and a half. It will be seven

0:48:17.960 --> 0:48:20.640
<v Speaker 2>and a half. And I wonder you know what I

0:48:20.680 --> 0:48:23.520
<v Speaker 2>said it will be. I wonder if that line is

0:48:23.600 --> 0:48:27.319
<v Speaker 2>out now that there's let me just see if they

0:48:27.760 --> 0:48:31.680
<v Speaker 2>if they gave us the in if the lines anywhere?

0:48:32.200 --> 0:48:37.480
<v Speaker 2>So I oh, six and a half? Oh the disrespect

0:48:38.640 --> 0:48:44.360
<v Speaker 2>already disrespecting the Chiefs. Six and a half. Okay, let's

0:48:44.440 --> 0:48:49.799
<v Speaker 2>lay the wood right now. Six and a half. Give

0:48:49.920 --> 0:48:52.000
<v Speaker 2>me a break. So on a neutral site in the

0:48:52.040 --> 0:48:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs only three and a half points better than the

0:48:54.040 --> 0:48:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Lions and Jared Goff, give me a break, all right.

0:48:59.280 --> 0:49:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Next, the Chiefs also have a big game on New

0:49:02.120 --> 0:49:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Year's Eve against the Bengals. Your excuse for Mahomes losing

0:49:05.640 --> 0:49:09.279
<v Speaker 3>to borrow this year will be okay, gosh, it's close

0:49:09.600 --> 0:49:10.120
<v Speaker 3>on the whiteboard.

0:49:10.960 --> 0:49:14.840
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, you're right. My excuse for Mahomes losing to borrow.

0:49:16.840 --> 0:49:18.960
<v Speaker 2>First of all, I do believe the last time they played,

0:49:18.960 --> 0:49:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes won and won in the game. But my excuse

0:49:22.440 --> 0:49:24.359
<v Speaker 2>for Mahomes losing to Borrow, I wrote on the white

0:49:24.440 --> 0:49:29.000
<v Speaker 2>board in slash A meaning not applicable, because he's not

0:49:29.040 --> 0:49:31.080
<v Speaker 2>going to lose to him, Chiefs might not lose this

0:49:31.160 --> 0:49:34.120
<v Speaker 2>year twenty and oh's on the board. Are you writing

0:49:34.120 --> 0:49:35.040
<v Speaker 2>an answer as well? Do you?

0:49:35.120 --> 0:49:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Or?

0:49:35.480 --> 0:49:37.840
<v Speaker 2>I was actually okay, go ahead, what's your answer?

0:49:37.920 --> 0:49:39.640
<v Speaker 3>I said, because you weren't there to cheer him on

0:49:39.719 --> 0:49:40.640
<v Speaker 3>your best friend, you.

0:49:40.600 --> 0:49:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Know, oh my buddy, No, I won't be there. It's

0:49:43.680 --> 0:49:47.280
<v Speaker 2>New Year's Eve. That game. The line I'm now seeing

0:49:47.320 --> 0:49:50.839
<v Speaker 2>all these lines, the Chiefs Bengals line is only three

0:49:50.880 --> 0:49:56.880
<v Speaker 2>and a half more disrespect. I can't believe. Did folks

0:49:56.960 --> 0:49:59.319
<v Speaker 2>not see the Chiefs win the Super Bowl in a

0:49:59.400 --> 0:50:01.560
<v Speaker 2>rebuilding year? Next?

0:50:02.360 --> 0:50:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay? Rumor has it Aaron Rodgers and the Jets could

0:50:04.960 --> 0:50:09.560
<v Speaker 3>have could have up to six primetime games by week blank.

0:50:09.719 --> 0:50:11.920
<v Speaker 3>You will be sick and tired of the Jets.

0:50:12.280 --> 0:50:19.200
<v Speaker 2>M okay, I'm going to give them until week twelve,

0:50:19.680 --> 0:50:22.960
<v Speaker 2>said one week one, you're already tired of the Jets.

0:50:24.680 --> 0:50:27.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the Rogers thing's going to work great.

0:50:28.520 --> 0:50:31.799
<v Speaker 2>I think they'll be fine, but since they have set

0:50:31.840 --> 0:50:37.239
<v Speaker 2>the expectations at Super Bowl, Uh, I'm not I'm not

0:50:37.280 --> 0:50:39.920
<v Speaker 2>a believer, and I think they are going to be

0:50:40.000 --> 0:50:45.480
<v Speaker 2>oversaturated early and Rogers last year started the year off slow.

0:50:45.920 --> 0:50:49.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't really trust Nat Hackett, I don't love Robert

0:50:49.880 --> 0:50:52.200
<v Speaker 2>sala Is. A lot with the Jets that I just

0:50:52.239 --> 0:50:53.000
<v Speaker 2>don't believe in.

0:50:53.280 --> 0:50:58.080
<v Speaker 3>All right, next, Dora, Okay, your Jags have two games

0:50:58.120 --> 0:51:02.680
<v Speaker 3>in London planned, had their coronation this past weekend. Are

0:51:02.680 --> 0:51:05.760
<v Speaker 3>they in store for another by week blank? The Prince

0:51:05.840 --> 0:51:10.200
<v Speaker 3>will will actually be whoa, the Prince will actually be

0:51:10.360 --> 0:51:11.320
<v Speaker 3>in the royal family.

0:51:11.360 --> 0:51:13.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well done on the English accent. That's first

0:51:13.520 --> 0:51:18.600
<v Speaker 2>of all, sorry that your Mike's giving you trouble. Uh.

0:51:19.000 --> 0:51:21.759
<v Speaker 2>The Jags are going to be good. Trevor Lawrence is

0:51:21.800 --> 0:51:26.960
<v Speaker 2>going to be excellent. So I'm going to say by

0:51:28.840 --> 0:51:35.000
<v Speaker 2>the divisional round, he'll actually be in the royal family.

0:51:35.080 --> 0:51:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Because if he follows up last year's playoff performance of

0:51:38.320 --> 0:51:43.280
<v Speaker 2>the four touchdown comeback and then playing hard against the Chiefs,

0:51:43.920 --> 0:51:47.239
<v Speaker 2>but with another good playoff performance, people are gonna have

0:51:47.280 --> 0:51:49.480
<v Speaker 2>to recognize that I was right about him all along.

0:51:49.840 --> 0:51:53.240
<v Speaker 3>All right, Next, There is a new game day added

0:51:53.280 --> 0:51:55.800
<v Speaker 3>to the NFL schedule this year. The Jets and Dolphins

0:51:55.800 --> 0:51:58.759
<v Speaker 3>will be facing off on Black Friday. Black Friday off

0:51:59.320 --> 0:52:02.480
<v Speaker 3>Black Friday. Football is all right?

0:52:02.680 --> 0:52:05.160
<v Speaker 2>My answer to that is, and then we can get

0:52:05.200 --> 0:52:10.920
<v Speaker 2>yours in a moment risky and say that because I

0:52:10.920 --> 0:52:14.880
<v Speaker 2>think the NFL is playing a dangerous game here that

0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:21.480
<v Speaker 2>I think that okay. So Thanksgiving were used to there

0:52:21.520 --> 0:52:24.080
<v Speaker 2>being football, and then they added a third game, a

0:52:24.200 --> 0:52:26.839
<v Speaker 2>night game, and people were okay with it. They are

0:52:26.880 --> 0:52:32.160
<v Speaker 2>now doing a Christmas Day triple header. They're putting football.

0:52:32.920 --> 0:52:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead?

0:52:33.520 --> 0:52:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Sorry ahead? Is it Black Friday? The day after Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving?

0:52:39.160 --> 0:52:39.640
<v Speaker 2>The day after?

0:52:40.160 --> 0:52:41.920
<v Speaker 3>There are two Black Fridays, though.

0:52:42.080 --> 0:52:44.879
<v Speaker 2>No, the one everybody talks about is the day after

0:52:44.920 --> 0:52:48.600
<v Speaker 2>things when everything goes on sale and beginning of shopping season.

0:52:48.800 --> 0:52:52.560
<v Speaker 2>They're not adding a football game on Black Friday. There

0:52:52.640 --> 0:52:59.680
<v Speaker 2>are folks whose spouses don't love how much football they watch,

0:53:00.920 --> 0:53:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and the more days you try to gobble up. The

0:53:05.080 --> 0:53:10.160
<v Speaker 2>reason I'm saying it's risky is you risk alienating some

0:53:10.360 --> 0:53:16.120
<v Speaker 2>of your audience because what will happen is it's going

0:53:16.160 --> 0:53:20.880
<v Speaker 2>to I can't go as NFL's on right now. I think,

0:53:21.560 --> 0:53:23.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you're in a relationship and you love

0:53:23.840 --> 0:53:27.879
<v Speaker 2>football and your significant other doesn't they understand, Okay, Sundays

0:53:27.960 --> 0:53:33.040
<v Speaker 2>during the fall, plus Monday nights and now Thursday nights.

0:53:34.280 --> 0:53:37.120
<v Speaker 2>If all of a sudden it's like and Christmas and

0:53:37.320 --> 0:53:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Black Friday and the day after Thanksgiving, there's a saturation

0:53:42.200 --> 0:53:46.479
<v Speaker 2>limit where the significant other says, no, you're missing the game.

0:53:46.960 --> 0:53:50.240
<v Speaker 2>We're going wherever, We're going to the in laws to

0:53:50.280 --> 0:53:53.880
<v Speaker 2>do shopping, whatever it is. And the reason that is

0:53:54.000 --> 0:53:58.040
<v Speaker 2>risky is because the moment you break the seal of

0:53:58.640 --> 0:54:03.799
<v Speaker 2>you can miss games, all of a sudden, it might

0:54:03.840 --> 0:54:08.560
<v Speaker 2>be like, oh, I was able to watch highlights. I Oh,

0:54:08.920 --> 0:54:14.560
<v Speaker 2>I was okay. It stops being such definite appointment viewing.

0:54:15.360 --> 0:54:18.280
<v Speaker 2>You've got to be locked in all Sunday. Well, honey,

0:54:18.320 --> 0:54:20.680
<v Speaker 2>you missed last week and you were fine, why can't

0:54:20.719 --> 0:54:24.080
<v Speaker 2>we go do something this week? So I think, you know.

0:54:24.160 --> 0:54:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Mark Cuban said years ago about the NFL that pigs

0:54:27.880 --> 0:54:30.920
<v Speaker 2>get fat and hogs get slaughtered and that they're being

0:54:31.040 --> 0:54:35.560
<v Speaker 2>risky and how much content, like how many days on

0:54:35.600 --> 0:54:38.319
<v Speaker 2>the calendar they're trying to eat up. I agree with that.

0:54:39.120 --> 0:54:42.040
<v Speaker 2>I think a Christmas tripleheader and a Black Friday game

0:54:42.800 --> 0:54:46.879
<v Speaker 2>will be temporarily exciting and potentially a bad long term

0:54:46.920 --> 0:54:49.040
<v Speaker 2>business move. All right.

0:54:49.120 --> 0:54:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Next, Last year, you were the only person on earth

0:54:52.000 --> 0:54:54.719
<v Speaker 3>who was in on the Jaguars. Nice call, and your

0:54:54.719 --> 0:54:57.440
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty three version of the Jaguars will be blake.

0:54:59.440 --> 0:55:01.720
<v Speaker 2>I put three question marks. I don't know that yet.

0:55:01.920 --> 0:55:04.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be totally honest with you, guys. I haven't

0:55:05.200 --> 0:55:09.800
<v Speaker 2>done my full NFL season prep yet. A because the

0:55:09.880 --> 0:55:13.080
<v Speaker 2>draft just finished, and B because of playoff basketball. So

0:55:13.160 --> 0:55:14.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't have an answer to that question yet. And

0:55:15.000 --> 0:55:17.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know there will be I don't know that

0:55:17.400 --> 0:55:20.279
<v Speaker 2>there will be a team that has a top five

0:55:20.400 --> 0:55:23.759
<v Speaker 2>quarterback in football that everyone disrespects but me, and then

0:55:23.800 --> 0:55:26.960
<v Speaker 2>I get to be gloriously correct in the greatest way imaginable.

0:55:26.960 --> 0:55:28.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that's gonna happen.

0:55:28.280 --> 0:55:34.359
<v Speaker 3>All right, Next, Okay, next one. JJ Reddick took an

0:55:34.360 --> 0:55:37.160
<v Speaker 3>interview with the Raptors for their head coaching job. Because

0:55:37.160 --> 0:55:39.680
<v Speaker 3>this worked out so well with Steve Nash and the Nets,

0:55:40.000 --> 0:55:42.000
<v Speaker 3>JJ Reddick would be a blank head coach.

0:55:43.560 --> 0:55:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'll try to be nice here. JJ Reddick

0:55:47.960 --> 0:55:51.640
<v Speaker 2>would be a fine head coach, but here's the thing,

0:55:52.120 --> 0:55:55.040
<v Speaker 2>what you put whack, Yeah, you'd be a whack head coach.

0:55:56.840 --> 0:56:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I JJ I wish him the best. I find some

0:56:01.640 --> 0:56:08.120
<v Speaker 2>of his criticisms and critiques of sports television while he's

0:56:08.239 --> 0:56:14.000
<v Speaker 2>on sports television to be somewhat irritating. Clearly his passion is,

0:56:14.320 --> 0:56:18.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, diagramming the best way to counter floppy action.

0:56:19.600 --> 0:56:21.359
<v Speaker 2>So I wish him the best. I hope he gets

0:56:21.400 --> 0:56:24.399
<v Speaker 2>the gig all right. And last, what's last one?

0:56:24.520 --> 0:56:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Congratulations? You made it to one hundred and fifty shows

0:56:27.840 --> 0:56:30.160
<v Speaker 3>and that seems like sort of a milestone, right Your

0:56:30.200 --> 0:56:33.680
<v Speaker 3>favorite movement moment of the first one hundred and fifty

0:56:33.680 --> 0:56:34.359
<v Speaker 3>shows was.

0:56:34.880 --> 0:56:39.239
<v Speaker 2>Well, this one's hard because there's so many of my

0:56:39.480 --> 0:56:46.439
<v Speaker 2>favorite uh uh, so I can't write them all down,

0:56:47.000 --> 0:56:50.440
<v Speaker 2>but I'm I'm thinking of him right now. So the

0:56:50.440 --> 0:56:54.839
<v Speaker 2>the most significant moment was the Lil Wayne interview. The

0:56:54.960 --> 0:56:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Deanna Yawning compilation when she hosted with me in LA

0:56:59.840 --> 0:57:04.400
<v Speaker 2>was outstanding. Your mom's first appearance where she says, my

0:57:04.480 --> 0:57:10.000
<v Speaker 2>heart's beating out of my body, that that line is

0:57:10.360 --> 0:57:17.480
<v Speaker 2>an old timer. Demons like learning how sports betting worked

0:57:17.520 --> 0:57:23.360
<v Speaker 2>and then having real NFL gambling takes, and you last

0:57:23.400 --> 0:57:26.320
<v Speaker 2>week when we were going back and forth on stuff.

0:57:26.480 --> 0:57:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Those are my five favorite moments. So I don't have

0:57:29.160 --> 0:57:32.160
<v Speaker 2>a singular favorite moment, but those are my five favorite moments.

0:57:32.840 --> 0:57:33.960
<v Speaker 2>What did you write? Go ahead?

0:57:34.040 --> 0:57:36.240
<v Speaker 3>When we talked about Dexter, that's.

0:57:36.080 --> 0:57:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Your favorite moment? Yeah? That was mine with you, the

0:57:39.520 --> 0:57:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Dexter Westminster stuff. That was fun going back and forth.

0:57:42.200 --> 0:57:45.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, quick break? Read your listener questions. Next, what's right?

0:57:52.000 --> 0:57:57.280
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back episode one. Next we're gonna answer your listener questions.

0:57:57.600 --> 0:58:02.160
<v Speaker 3>First question is d day, So said Nick, you are

0:58:02.200 --> 0:58:05.360
<v Speaker 3>cordially invited to our Vegas wedding on July twenty third.

0:58:05.920 --> 0:58:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Listen, I need an official paper invite? Send it. I'll

<v Speaker 2>send you something the register.

<v Speaker 3>Can I come?

0:58:12.400 --> 0:58:12.640
<v Speaker 2>What?

0:58:13.000 --> 0:58:13.560
<v Speaker 3>I want to go?

0:58:14.320 --> 0:58:15.800
<v Speaker 2>You want to go? You want to be my date

0:58:15.840 --> 0:58:18.560
<v Speaker 2>to this guy's wedding. I wasn't act. Didn't I just

0:58:18.600 --> 0:58:20.200
<v Speaker 2>say I don't actually go to these things?

0:58:20.680 --> 0:58:23.680
<v Speaker 3>But did it? I had to?

0:58:23.840 --> 0:58:27.439
<v Speaker 2>It is Vegas, DJ, Send me the invite. I'll send

0:58:27.480 --> 0:58:28.440
<v Speaker 2>you something. Go ahead.

0:58:28.480 --> 0:58:33.560
<v Speaker 3>Next, Dalton Pope said Nick, Sorry, you're okay? So, Nick,

0:58:33.600 --> 0:58:36.200
<v Speaker 3>how do you feel about seeing everyone go crazy about

0:58:36.240 --> 0:58:40.320
<v Speaker 3>the corky picking the correct game? So far? While You've

0:58:40.320 --> 0:58:42.080
<v Speaker 3>done the same thing, and no one else seems to

0:58:42.120 --> 0:58:43.720
<v Speaker 3>care Lakers in six.

0:58:43.600 --> 0:58:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, listen, I will say, I you know this is

0:58:50.560 --> 0:58:53.160
<v Speaker 2>my wife always tells me. She's like, you need a publicist.

0:58:53.520 --> 0:58:57.840
<v Speaker 2>All these people in your field that get newspaper articles

0:58:57.880 --> 0:59:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and stories written about them or whatever. No, And I

0:59:00.640 --> 0:59:03.680
<v Speaker 2>was like, this is not my thing. I've never understood

0:59:03.760 --> 0:59:07.160
<v Speaker 2>the such and such just signed a new contract and

0:59:07.160 --> 0:59:09.320
<v Speaker 2>it's worth X amount of dollars, Like why are you

0:59:09.480 --> 0:59:13.000
<v Speaker 2>leaking that? Who does that benefit? And I've just never

0:59:13.040 --> 0:59:18.880
<v Speaker 2>been big on that. With that said, how many games

0:59:18.920 --> 0:59:21.960
<v Speaker 2>do I need to pick the winner of correctly in

0:59:22.000 --> 0:59:27.440
<v Speaker 2>a row before somebody writes something. Somebody should have written

0:59:27.480 --> 0:59:31.280
<v Speaker 2>something last year about my fifty to one Super Bowl

0:59:31.320 --> 0:59:35.440
<v Speaker 2>exacta coming down to the final weekend of the NFL playoffs,

0:59:36.040 --> 0:59:39.160
<v Speaker 2>somebody maybe should write something about my Lakers fifty to

0:59:39.160 --> 0:59:41.960
<v Speaker 2>one pick that I gave out on this show that

0:59:42.120 --> 0:59:46.520
<v Speaker 2>right that before tip off yesterday was down to four

0:59:46.560 --> 0:59:49.160
<v Speaker 2>to one and now it's at six to one. And

0:59:50.000 --> 0:59:54.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean I have on television before every single Lakers

0:59:54.800 --> 0:59:57.760
<v Speaker 2>playoff game said who was going to win? And it's

0:59:57.800 --> 1:00:01.800
<v Speaker 2>not like I'm simply saying every time the Lakers. I've

1:00:01.840 --> 1:00:04.400
<v Speaker 2>picked correctly when they were gonna win, when they were

1:00:04.400 --> 1:00:07.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna lose for eleven games in a row. So I

1:00:07.920 --> 1:00:08.720
<v Speaker 2>don't know, all right.

1:00:08.800 --> 1:00:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Next okay, sorry, Lord said Hey, Nick, big fan from

1:00:14.240 --> 1:00:16.040
<v Speaker 3>Africa Zimbabwe loved the show.

1:00:16.160 --> 1:00:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh love hearing that that might be our first listener.

1:00:19.880 --> 1:00:24.400
<v Speaker 2>It's ever chimed in from the African continent. That's fantastic,

1:00:24.400 --> 1:00:24.720
<v Speaker 2>all right?

1:00:24.800 --> 1:00:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Next, Truthbear said Nick, how do you justify Sga being

1:00:29.160 --> 1:00:32.560
<v Speaker 3>the first team All NBA if he's never even made

1:00:32.560 --> 1:00:35.840
<v Speaker 3>the playoffs or had a winning record as a team's

1:00:35.840 --> 1:00:36.520
<v Speaker 3>best place.

1:00:36.600 --> 1:00:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Listen, I wouldn't I agree with you. I think I

1:00:40.320 --> 1:00:44.240
<v Speaker 2>had on my first team All NBA Steph and dearon Fox.

1:00:45.280 --> 1:00:47.760
<v Speaker 2>SGA should have been All NBA. But he and Luca

1:00:47.840 --> 1:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>being first team I thought was very curious given the

1:00:51.040 --> 1:00:53.680
<v Speaker 2>fact that their teams missed the postseason entirely. All right.

1:00:53.760 --> 1:00:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Next okay, Chris Lazo said, what are your five favorite

1:00:59.200 --> 1:00:59.920
<v Speaker 3>sneakers to war?

1:01:00.880 --> 1:01:03.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean sneakers wise, I basically just wear Jordan's and

1:01:03.640 --> 1:01:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Lebron's and some air Force ones. That's it. Do yours wearing?

1:01:07.360 --> 1:01:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Are those your mom's?

1:01:08.680 --> 1:01:08.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

1:01:09.520 --> 1:01:13.160
<v Speaker 2>You've just taken them I've claimed them, You've claimed them? Show?

1:01:13.240 --> 1:01:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Do you know that question wasn't for me?

1:01:16.040 --> 1:01:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Okay, maybe it was goes what wait? I was

1:01:20.120 --> 1:01:23.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna say, Doora goes shopping in her mom's closet. But

1:01:23.360 --> 1:01:26.720
<v Speaker 2>the funniest thing that happens with Diora and her mother

1:01:26.800 --> 1:01:30.280
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to clothes is if Doora wants clothes

1:01:30.320 --> 1:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>from Trentage, which is where we do this podcast from,

1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:37.680
<v Speaker 2>her mom makes her pay the retail listed price. It's

1:01:37.800 --> 1:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>just bananas. I just I've never seen any I couldn't

1:01:41.960 --> 1:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>believe it, but it's what she does, all right.

1:01:45.080 --> 1:01:49.760
<v Speaker 3>Last one, wait, I'm gonna answer. Yes, my favorite shoes

1:01:49.760 --> 1:01:56.760
<v Speaker 3>are my white Oreo, our white Oreo I think they are,
