1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntire. What is up,

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: Straight Fire Fair, It's your boy, Jason McEntire. Straight Fire

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: for Friday, August six. We had football last night. I

4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: hope everybody enjoyed it. Cowboys Steelers preseason football. It was fantastic,

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: kind of sort of ugly. Also, I did watch the game.

6
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: I was doing some research for obviously for Undisputed this morning, UM,

7
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: doing some research for this podcast. And you know, I

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 1: kind of fell asleep a little bit watching preseason football.

9
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: But because of the Olympics, this weekend there's no more NFL.

10
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: You have like a hiatus, and then next Thursday the

11
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: games beginning New UM Steelers, Eagles, Patriots, Washington and UM

12
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: in football's back. This to this coming weekend will be

13
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: the last weekend and without football until February. That's kind

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: of insane. Obviously, you guys know we started the podcast,

15
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: I believe a year ago, right around this time, maybe

16
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: a week from now. UM. Pretty cool that it's been

17
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: twelve months, we survived a year, we got renewed for

18
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: a second year. It feels like a TV show that

19
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: got the renewal from the suits. UM. But podcast numbers

20
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: have been good. Thanks for subscribing, rating and reviewing and

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: the people who have been listening from the jump. Do

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: you remember how, like early on I would say every podcast, subscribe,

23
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: rate and review. Uh, And you know you have to

24
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: like do that to promote yourself because if you're not

25
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: gonna promote yourself, who the hell is? And I think

26
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: I just like forgot that the last six months. I

27
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: think I just said that for the first time in

28
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: a while. At any rate, thanks for the kind words

29
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: about Undisputed. It's been a fun week today wraps up. Um,

30
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: you know the backups were the scabs, if you will,

31
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: skip and channing around. So me, LaVar, Arrington and Boussar

32
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: have been going at it. It's been mostly cordial, some

33
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: fun back and forth. Um, I think I'm like seven

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: and oh in head to head debates just because I'm

35
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: unbelievable in discussing stuff. And it's it is funny when

36
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: my relatives or friends text me during the show and

37
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: like during a commercial break, listen, we are creatures to habit.

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: I will pick up the phone and take a peek.

39
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: Not all the time. Sometimes it's take a selfie like

40
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: a loser that I am, Um, Cowhard will just come

41
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: onto the set and just start talking. Uh. And the

42
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: producers are in our ear. Here's what we're doing next.

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: What about swapping this out? Blah blah blah. Um. Just

44
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: a peek, a little peek behind the curtain next week,

45
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: a little back more to normalcy. Uh. And I think

46
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: we have a couple of big football guests next week

47
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: tv D tv D UM. But we're actually gonna start

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: the pod. I was thinking about talking about the Olympics,

49
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: but the USA Australia game like just wasn't that great.

50
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: The USA was down fifteen in the second quarter, and

51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: that's when I fell asleep. And then I woke up

52
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: in the US one by like twenty, and Kevin Durant

53
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: absolutely carried them. It was funny because right as I'm

54
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: falling asleep, you know, Australia is getting these easy buckets

55
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,119
Speaker 1: in the lane layups back door, and it's like, man,

56
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: the US is working hard for baskets. And that's when

57
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: they started going to Kevin Durant. They were like, you

58
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: know what, screw all this passing, screw this offense. K

59
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: D save our ass and Kevin Durant just went to work.

60
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: Nobody could check him. Matiste theyble tried Matiste. Theyble was

61
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: in his jersey and Durant still hanging and banging, which

62
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: of course prompted as it happens normally, you know, Kevin

63
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: Durant lights up Australia. Okay, Australia which just never to

64
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: my knowledge, medal in the Olympics. They can get a

65
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: bronze here. Um it Kevin Durant destroying Australia prompts Sports

66
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: Illustrated to write an opinion piece Kevin Durant is the

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: best player on the planet. That that's a real thing

68
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: that happened. Um, Kevin Durant is incredible. We know this.

69
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: Rob and I we were gonna start with another topic.

70
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: Well we'll get to that. I know Rob is excited

71
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: for it, as I as am. I, but this Kevin

72
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Durant thing just kind of got to me. So I

73
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: texted a guy who trains NBA players, and I think

74
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: I've told the story. I went to a Laker game

75
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: and I like to go on the court beforehand because

76
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm a nerd, and I like to watch like k

77
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: CP shoot like thirty five threes in a row. Um,

78
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: and I wonder, how the hell does he do the

79
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: same exact stroke from jump to land to for everything rotation,

80
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: it's exact same. That's casey p. So. I go on

81
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: the court before the game and I'm standing there, you know,

82
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: like what people watching these uh NBA players talk to

83
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: their hanger on ors, their crew and NBA trainer I know,

84
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: rolls up and he's like, what's up, ja, Because he

85
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: goes to my gym and we got to know, you know,

86
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: he sees me on some of these shows and we

87
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: became friendly and I'm like, oh, how are you man?

88
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: And as we're talking, like JJ Reddick comes up to

89
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: him and I'm like, oh, introduces me. And then Alonzo

90
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: Ball comes over and I'm like in my head, you

91
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: know the egos we have, I'm like, oh damn, I've

92
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: said some ship about Alonzo. Well boy, this could this

93
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: could get ugly. Alonzo super friendly, Hey, what's up? A

94
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: normal conversation. I mean, I didn't say much because these

95
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: guy you're talking, But clearly Lonzo had no clue who

96
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: I was or he was just like playing it off

97
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: like hey, you know what, you can say whatever you want.

98
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: You're relevant to me. But but he didn't say any

99
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: of that. He was totally normal and so I texted

100
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: this trainer this Kevin Durant story, and Rob, what is

101
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: your guess on what he said to Kevin Durant? Is

102
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: he the best player on the planet? Just a guess?

103
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: He said that I one agree with that? Do you do? You?

104
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: One thousand percent agree? Yes? You agree that Kevin Durant

105
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: the best player on the planet? Yes? Oh my, until

106
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: Lebron retires and Katie wins another one without all caps

107
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: the super duper team and that was it. Um, I

108
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: don't know you really think he's the best? Now? Let

109
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: now listen. I personally liked our conversation yesterday, Rob, Um.

110
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: It was a little bit of a nuanced conversation and

111
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: it wasn't like a yes no, uh, there's no minds

112
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: getting changed. It was just like a good discussion. How

113
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: would you define best, Um? It's the person or player

114
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: who has the requisite skills across all assets of the

115
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: fastest of the game. And obviously you're gonna be better

116
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: at some than others. And the ones that you are

117
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: better at do they outweigh the ones that you are

118
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: weaker at. And some guys like Janice is so devastating

119
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: in the paint that that's gonna elevate his lack of

120
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: jump shot. So that's why he still has a case.

121
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, I can't think of a single weakness in

122
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: his game. And on top of that, he is, as

123
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: Gatino Mobley said, the greatest score of the basketball that

124
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. So by default, I'm leaning with Kevin Durant.

125
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in

128
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: search f s R to listen live. Tough to argue

129
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: any of that, you know, because he does not have

130
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: a weakness in his game. The only weakness is one

131
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: that's out of his hands, out of his control, and

132
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: that's winning titles without the Warriors. Correct, that's not his fault,

133
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: And that's why I don't like the win argument like

134
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: it is. He is he was he supposed to beat

135
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: the Heat when he was massive underdogs. Uh, when he

136
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: had um Harden and Westbrook. No, they weren't supposed to

137
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: win that. Were they ever favored to beat the Warriors

138
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: in that series? I mean you could check to see

139
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: if when it was to two, game five, fourth quarter

140
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: up seven or whatever it was, were they favored in

141
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: the series. I don't know, but ultimately, like, I mean,

142
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: they were favored this year and then everybody got hurt.

143
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: So I don't like the win argument. I it's tough

144
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: from me to think of a like, if Kevin direct

145
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: goes to any team, I think they become the best

146
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: team in the league. Anywhere he goes, the Nets were

147
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: the best, the Warriors were the best. Does that mean

148
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: he's the best player. Yeah, I don't think that. He's

149
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: the kind of guy where no matter what team he's on,

150
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: they're the best player, they're the best team because his

151
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: style of play is not conducive to that level of

152
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: his teammates. But that's the thing. He can fit in anywhere.

153
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: The Warriors didn't need him to, like be um the

154
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: focal point of the offense. He was just they were

155
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: just like, hey, we need you to do this, that

156
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: and the other. Okay, I'll do it, and I'm gonna

157
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: be the finals MVP, you know. And then he goes

158
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: to the Nets and like, hey, Kyrie and Harden, you

159
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: guys can dick around, and um, it's fine, I'm gonna

160
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: get mine. And like, I think, anywhere he goes, he

161
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: makes him the best team GM USA. You know, I

162
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: didn't realize this. He's the leading scorer in USA basketball history. Yeah,

163
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: I think he think he's surpassed Carmelo and Carmelo Anthon

164
00:08:52,920 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: Carmelo pashtag future Laker Carmelo Anthony. So but but Karen Laker, Yeah,

165
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: to pick it back on what you said, Let's see,

166
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: I think that there's something unique about Durant and that

167
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: I don't think you can just drop him on whatever

168
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: team and they instantly become a contender or they become

169
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: usually become a playoff team. If you take Zach Levine

170
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: away from the Chicago Bulls and you PLoP in Kevin

171
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: Durant and you take him off the nets, who's the

172
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: best team in the East? Oh, the Bucks? I don't know.

173
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that. We'll see. Like here, here's the

174
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: thing is based on that idea. If you're saying, if

175
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: I just PLoP you on whatever team, are they instantly

176
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: one of the better teams in the league. There's only

177
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: like three guys who I think you can do you

178
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: say that with one of them being Luka. Do who's

179
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: the guy who you think is the best player? Okay,

180
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: that's what I'm getting to I, for my money, Luca

181
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: is the best player in the league. And I know

182
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: people are gonna yell he doesn't play defense. He's not

183
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: a great defender by any stretch. But when I think

184
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: of the best, I think who impacts winning the most,

185
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: And for my money, Luca elevates players like nobody else

186
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: in the game. Lebron did this for the longest time.

187
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: But he's thirty six and a half. If you really

188
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: want to quibble, he's the older version of Luca, you know.

189
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: But lucas just younger and doing it with weaker players,

190
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: and he hasn't got out of the first round, which

191
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: really really hurts my argument. But again, I don't think

192
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: it's winning. I don't think it's just about winning. Now.

193
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: I know what you could say, like, well, Michael Jordan's

194
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: was pumping in a ship ton of points with the

195
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: Bulls in the eighties and he couldn't get out of

196
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: the first round. Nobody considered him the best. You gotta

197
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: win championship, win the best, Okay, Well, if that's the case,

198
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: then it's gotta be Lebron, right, But wait, Kevin Durant

199
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: beat Lebron head to head in the finals, twice wiped

200
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: the floor with him. Now one of the times Lebron

201
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: had no chance with the after Kyrie left. But when

202
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: Kyrie was there, Kevin Durant was the best player on

203
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: the floor. He was unstoppable. I mean he had to

204
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: d in the fourth quarter. I don't have the numbers

205
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: in front of me, but I said them on FS one.

206
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: Multiple times during that series, Kevin Durant annihilated Lebron head

207
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: to head. It happens, you know, I mean, he had

208
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: a better team. So it's very subjective who is the best.

209
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: I mean, like in the NFL, it's like Tom Brady

210
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: goes to the Buccaneers. They hadn't made the playoffs in forever,

211
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: they win the Super Bowl. Like, I mean, listen, it's amazing.

212
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is the best player in the league. But wait,

213
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: what about Aaron Rodgers, what about Russell Wilson if they

214
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: went to this team? You know, like, you could play

215
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: that game all day and have coajing arguments for anyone.

216
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: But I think ultimately in the NBA, it's basically Luca,

217
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, and Lebron in some order. Unless there's somebody

218
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm missing it should you honest be in there. I

219
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: think Janice has a case I personally any of those guys. Yeah,

220
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: I mean over Lebron. This because Lebron is thirty six.

221
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: Like I know, Lebron is still really really good, but

222
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: at this stage in his career, he's just not that

223
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: guy anymore. Won the finals MVP when it was Lebron

224
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: two years ago in the bubble Lebron. I mean, but

225
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis had the case for that one too. I

226
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: think was very impactful. But it's I'm glad that you

227
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,599
Speaker 1: started this whole thing based off of the Olympics. I

228
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: think this this might illustrate my point better than anything

229
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: that I could say, or that that any stat I

230
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: could bring up. Team USA has the best player from

231
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: half of the NBA teams. You know, like Devin Booker

232
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: is the best player in Phoenix, Uh, Dame Chris PAULA

233
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: Devin Booker. Devin Booker is the better player. I think

234
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: Chris paul was more important to UM, you know, Dame Lillard, Uh,

235
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum, Like they are the best players on their teams.

236
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: And when things got harry in that first half when

237
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: they were now fifteen, everybody got the tight took is

238
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: what do they do get the ball to k d

239
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: get out of his way. So in a in a

240
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: room full of Alpha's, they said, no, no no, no, that's

241
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: the guy. That's the one we're gonna go to. And

242
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: it's it's similar to what happened in two thousand and eight. Now,

243
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: the radeem team didn't really get challenged in the same

244
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: way that this team did, but in a gold medal

245
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: game when they started to get a little bit closed,

246
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: it was like a six point game, five point game

247
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: down the stretch against Spain. Kobe, You're gonna be the

248
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: one who's gotta bring us home, Not Lebron, not d Wade,

249
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: not Chris Paul. Kobe is going to be the guy

250
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: who has to do it for us. How do you

251
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: think remember two I don't remember that at all. It

252
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: was that against Spain. That was against Spain against the assault.

253
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: It seems two thousand and eight brothers gave it to

254
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: us too in that in that game, Ricky Rubio was

255
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: in his bag. Yeah, And so I think that it's

256
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: something like that where it's if you can't put a

257
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 1: finger on it, you can't point to a shooting percentage

258
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: or a plus minus or the assist numbers. It's just

259
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: when things really get tough, when when we don't know

260
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: what's going to happen, When when when the gettings here

261
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: in the balance, who's the guy that you want that

262
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: you wanted your team more than anybody else? And we

263
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: saw in two thousand eight it was Kobe and it

264
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: wasn't Lebron. We saw in this Olympic team. Granted, you know,

265
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: Lebron's not there, STEP's not there, hard it's not there.

266
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: But there were very good players, all NBA players on

267
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: this team, and every single one of them, to a man,

268
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: said get the ball with Kevin Durant. K D had

269
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: more baskets in the first half seven that he made

270
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: than any other player had attempts, like they were forced

271
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: feeding him because they knew that they in this situation,

272
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: he's the guy we gotta go to. I mean, he's incredible,

273
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite players. Um I'm I'm just

274
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: a huge fan of his work. I like watching him.

275
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: But for some reason, Rob he gets dinged because he

276
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: went to the Golden State Warriors. I don't want to

277
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: rehash that. I don't want to relitigate that. I have

278
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: defended durance move a million times. But then you got

279
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: these buffoons and I'm sorry to call him the name

280
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: like that. I should I really shouldn't do that. It's out,

281
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: it's out of it's out of pocket buffoons like Charles

282
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: Barkley saying, oh Lebron James Stacky his teams has hurt

283
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: his legacy. And you know this is a shot at

284
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: Kati as well. And and Barkley is writing this, uh

285
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: as as long as he wants. Now. Barkley said this

286
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: on some Bob Costas show. Um, and here's what really

287
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: did now. I haven't seen the full interview, so I

288
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: don't know if cost is pushed back, but I have

289
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: pushed back on Barkley about this on social media, and

290
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: Barkley doesn't have it, so he probably hasn't seen it.

291
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: But Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup

Speaker 1: app search f s R to listen live. Everybody seems

295
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: to forget what did Charles Barkley do in his career?

296
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: He was in Philadelphia and when they clearly could not

297
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: get over the hump, what did Charles Barkley do? Trade me?

298
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: I want to go to a good team. I'm getting

299
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: out of here, Get me out of here now. And

300
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: he didn't want to just go anywhere. Charles Barkley demanded Phoenix.

301
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: They had won fifty games I think three or four

302
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: years in a row. Charles Barkley gets to Phoenix when

303
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: they get to the finals. Yeah, I think he had

304
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: a fifty point game in the finals. Kevin Johnson thunder

305
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: Dan Marley. They were one of the better teams in

306
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: the West. And this was post magic, the post magic

307
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: um Jabbar era, when the Lakers were fading and Barkley

308
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: couldn't get over the hump. But guess what he decided

309
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: when the Phoenix thing beatered out. I'm demanding a trade.

310
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: I want out, or I'm gonna retire. Goes to the

311
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: Houston Rockets, joins forces with a decaying a lajah one

312
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: Clyde Drexler, another team contending perpetually, and they couldn't do it.

313
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: So so let me let me just remind you Charles

314
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: Barkley basically forced his way to stack teams, to stack

315
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: teams and take down Michael Jordan's. Okay, and now Barkley

316
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: is ripping Lebron and presumably Kevin Duran for doing the

317
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: same thing. What's the word for that? Is that a hypocrite?

318
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: Is that? I think that's the word. Yeah, So Barkley

319
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: is a complete hypocrite while trying to denigrate the all

320
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: time greats now and protect his era, because you know,

321
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: Barkley was an amazing all time player. He was probably

322
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: a top fifteen to top twenty guy all time one

323
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: of those best players. Is that a title? He's got

324
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: passed by so many guys from this era and he's

325
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: pissed about it. Curry lapped him, Duran already passed him,

326
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: Lebron blew by him. You got a bunch of guys

327
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: blown by Barkley and pretty soon ten years, I don't

328
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: know he's Barkley a top forty guy anymore. I mean, hell,

329
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: is your honest bad a better career with Barkley has

330
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,719
Speaker 1: got a chip in two m v p s. And

331
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: I just think these old guys are just so bitter

332
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: like this whole stacked team. Do we forget who Coop

333
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: He's teammate was in l A. He has Shack check

334
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,479
Speaker 1: one three m v p s. Shack and Kobe were

335
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: two of the top five ten players in the league.

336
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: That's not a stack team. Kobe's agent forced the trade.

337
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: He didn't want to go to Charlotte. He forced his

338
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: way to l A. What's the difference between Lebron stacking

339
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: a team, a player forcing his play somewhere else, recruiting

340
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant to Golden State? What does it matter? It's

341
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: just it gets me so ticked off, Robin. You know what,

342
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get ticked off. I gotta calm down.

343
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm already getting myself upset. Like I just I hate

344
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: when Barkley does this because it really gets to young

345
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: millennial idiots. And I know there's a lot of them listening. Fine,

346
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have called you guys idiots, but it's just annoying. Yeah,

347
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: I agree with you. And if he's gonna say something

348
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: like that, I hope he keep that same energy with

349
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson, Kareem abdul Jabar, Larry Bird. Each one of

350
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: these guys had multiple All of famers on their teams.

351
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: And you don't hear a peep from that because the

352
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: narrative is, well, those are done through the draft, those

353
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: were done through free agency. It's not like these guys

354
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: teamed up well, it doesn't matter how you get from

355
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: point A to point B. As long as you get there,

356
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: that's all that matters. And nobody talks about Patrick Ewing.

357
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: Do that, you know because he played with Charles Oakley,

358
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: Anthony Mason and John Stark. Maybe he shout a stack

359
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: the team exactly. And here's another thing, and this is

360
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: something that's not talked about enough, especially because there's so

361
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: many Jordan fanboys in the sports media world. In um

362
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: there was a newspaper in Phoenix that had a whole

363
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: column about how expansion was ruining the NBA. Okay, Dennis

364
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: Rodman says it, quote, this league is so filtered in

365
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: water down. We can beat anybody with their eyes closed

366
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: pretty much. I remember that. It goes on. It says

367
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley and Larry Bird have expressed comparable sentiments points

368
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: out about the Utah Jazz. Verry Sloan even after they said, yeah,

369
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's watered down, look at the Jazz Jeriu

370
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: Sloan says, you're right, it is watered down. We only

371
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: need two guys to be successful nowadays. And if you

372
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: really want to, if you really want to, you know,

373
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: use your third eye in this situation in the in

374
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: nine six the mid nineties up to the two thousands,

375
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: which team had the most stacked roster in the NBA

376
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: two thousand's six to to the start of two thousands,

377
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: so the second half of the nineties, so Jordan's Bowls

378
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 1: were the most stacked. Exactly, they got the best European

379
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: player and they added him to Jordan and Pippott and

380
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: Dennis Rodman, and they had three top fifty players and

381
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: the best European player in the league. So somehow that's

382
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: not viewed as a stack deck because I I try

383
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: to go through all the rosters, you know, say what

384
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: you want. The Utah Jazz had two guys, you know,

385
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: the the Magic had a Shack and Penny. But Penny

386
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: is not a top fifty guy time. And somehow that's

387
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: not viewed as a super team because it's all Michael

388
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: Jordans made these guys. Well, No, I think that Michael

389
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: Jordan's had nothing to do with Scottie Pippen being arguably

390
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: the best defender in basketball during that time. I don't

391
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: think that Michael Jordan's is the reason why Dennis Rodman

392
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: is viewed as the greatest rebounder of all time and

393
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: one of the best defenders of all time. I'm not

394
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: saying he didn't help them, but the fact is those

395
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: guys were all were pretty good on their own, and

396
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: somehow this narrative exists that, well, you know, Michael Jordan

397
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: didn't need super teams because he already had the super team.

398
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: He was on the super team. His team was more

399
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: stacked than anybody else during that late nineties era. And

400
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: it's just it's disappointing that guys nowadays, like Chuck and Shack,

401
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: they go out of their way to diss these younger

402
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: players just because they're bitter, and it's just disappointing. Well,

403
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think back to those Utah Jazz teams

404
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: that the Bulls struggled with so much Mailman Stocked and

405
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: got it, Like, do you want to know who their

406
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: third and fourth best players were? Jeff HORNI sec Byron

407
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: Russell Oster tag Like no, I mean, as as my

408
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: young son likes to say, now, no, Cap the Warriors

409
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: sweep them and win every game in the finals. By

410
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: twenty there's no way in hell the Durant and Cary

411
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: get forced to six games against Carl Malone and John Stocked.

412
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 1: It like zero chance. I'm so glad you brought up

413
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: that story from NINETI I had mentioned on my radio

414
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: show a while back. I've forgotten all about it. Gosh,

415
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: it's good, Ammo. People love that stuff. Um, I don't know.

416
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: So anyways, I started. Let Barkley get out of my skin. Rob.

417
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,479
Speaker 1: What do you got planned this weekend? Um? I actually

418
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: got some big plans. I'm gonna be celebrating. UM. My

419
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: wife's cousin got his masters, so they're having a graduation.

420
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: Party's delayed a little bit, obviously because of COVID, but

421
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna be celebrating that and um getting ready for

422
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: in two weeks. My nephew is starting his first season

423
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: of tackle football. Now we're all hyped. He's eight, and

424
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: he'd letting him play tackle. Yes, yes, what age did

425
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: you play tackle? I didn't start playing until high school.

426
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: Playing tackle? Yeah, I don't know. That's not recommended that

427
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: we'll see. He's very pumped up, he said. He said

428
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna get his Aaron Donald on on these kids.

429
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: A big kid big to me. I mean I'm five

430
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: ft nothing, so every everybody's big to me. Any idea

431
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: what he weighs I'm just curious, and I know that's

432
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 1: a random question. My son is on the light side

433
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: and he knows kids who have are over a hundred

434
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: pounds now, um, like in the ninety and he's like

435
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: right about sixty. He's like me small, but he's he's

436
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: getting way quicker, uh in the last six but not not.

437
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: We don't need to go on myself. But yeah, anyway,

438
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: so this will be the last weekend without football. Um,

439
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: I got a Hall Pass this weekend. By the way,

440
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: have you seen Hall Pass? I have seen Hall Pass.

441
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: It's such a great movie. Here's another movie that was

442
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: on yesterday but I watched while I was doing some work.

443
00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: I Love You Man. Have you seen that? That's a

444
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: great movie, Paul Rudd And I think Jason Seagal, Jason Segel, Segull,

445
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: sorry Siegel. Great movie. Um, there's some really sneaky good uh,

446
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: Like I Love You Man is a really good comedy. Um.

447
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: I also really like the dude who's the real estate

448
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: agent co worker who's kind of like a douche. He's

449
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: like the quintessential l a d bag who kind of

450
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: works with you but talks a cool game and thinks

451
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: he's like the ship. Um, and the guy he's the

452
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: one who says, let me wet my beak on that action,

453
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: I mean, and then he also he says, what's your

454
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: urinal cake situation? Like yeah, yeah, He's like, yeah, you know,

455
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: I got people coming up to me all the time

456
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: said you look familiar, and he goes, yeah, you piste

457
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: on my face because it's you. And listen, I'm not

458
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: saying I've met a million of those guys, but I

459
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,959
Speaker 1: have definitely met a few of those guys out here

460
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: in l A who talked that game. They sound cool,

461
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 1: they look the part, but then the more like if

462
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: you spend more than five minutes with him, you're like, wow,

463
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: this guy is such a douche. Um, It's just listen,

464
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: LA has been amazing so far. It's only been five years.

465
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm having fun. Anyways, we're way off sports. Um, it

466
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: is the final weekend that without football for a while. Um,

467
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: everybody stay safe out there. COVID's getting bad, you know.

468
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: Just listen to Kirk Cousins talk about it. He seems

469
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: to know everything. Uh Dr Kirk Cousins that is tied

470
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: to get in that day. Have you seen the Kirk

471
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: Cousins video I love the Kirk Cousins video. He's like, yeah,

472
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: we'll practice that, we'll meet outside and if it comes

473
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: down to glass around me. That's my favorite part. He goes,

474
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: we're willing to do anything except get the vaccine, Like

475
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: he actually said, we're willing to do anything, PLEXI glass

476
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: outside mask everything. We're willing to do everything except get

477
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: the fact I I just found a little comical. Um,

478
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: doctor kirk Cousins. Um. I will just say, and I

479
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: don't want to go too much into it, because we'll

480
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: ask some of the guys that cover the league, like

481
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: I wonder what happened, Like what's going to happen to

482
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: locker rooms if one of the quasi stars or stars

483
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: doesn't want to get the vaccine gets it, God not

484
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 1: gets the vacs but gets Delta or whatever spreads it

485
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: and a team has to cancel the game. Now your

486
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: star is taking money out of the pockets. And I

487
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: know what you can I know. I'm sure there's people

488
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: yelling like, hey, you can still get it even if

489
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: you get the VACS, right, got I got that? Yes,

490
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: I mean you could still get it, no doubt, But

491
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 1: there's clearly another barrier of protection if you get the vaccine,

492
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: and I just I wonder what the potential powder keg

493
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: there is in the locker rooms because I probably shouldn't

494
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: bring it up, Rob, But you know, you and I

495
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: both know somebody who is staunchly against it um and

496
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: has given COVID to people we both know, uh, I

497
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: from the story that you've heard of this person, And

498
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: I shouldn't really not have brought this up, but don't

499
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: delete it from the podcast. It's it's interesting, and I'm

500
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: curious as to your responsitives. Is there a weird vibe

501
00:26:53,640 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: around that person that you're aware of? Um, yeah, a

502
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit. What can you imagine that?

503
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: And if an NFL locker room with hundreds of thousands

504
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: of dollars at stake for a game or for some

505
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: players maybe mill I don't know. Oh, and like you're

506
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: supposed to be if you're a captain or the leader

507
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: of the team and you don't get the VACS and

508
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: then you get sick, and then you spread it to

509
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: other dudes and then you guys have to cancel a game.

510
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: I I don't this it threatens to become really really interesting.

511
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just food for thought. This weekend folks,

512
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: all right, be safe out there. We'll talk to you Monday.
