19
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: Wright live on YouTube. Oh my goodness, I forgot to

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: tweet out the link live on YouTube. I'm gonna do

21
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: that right now, or at least retweet our show. We

22
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 3: have a huge show today. I'm very excited. There's a

23
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: lot to do. Also, this is not Dior's last podcast,

24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: but this is the last podcast that she is required

25
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 3: to do in order to graduate from high school. Next week,

26
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: Deora will not be with us as she has a

27
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: graduation rehearsal on Tuesday, then an actual graduation on Thursday. However,

28
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: she is going to be back the following week and

29
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: throughout the summer because she has loved doing this so much,

30
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: and we have negotiated a flat fee for podcast appearance

31
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: as well. I've thought of one in my head.

32
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 4: And have it.

33
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 3: Also, today is a huge day for me because buying

34
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 3: a new car after the TV show. Very excited about that.

35
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: And in the second segment of the show, to honor

36
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 3: Doorra's last day on the podcast as a high schooler,

37
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell a story from about forty five

38
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: minutes ago.

39
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 4: About just as a flat out.

40
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 3: Last mischievous Yes, Sonny, but I must admit it kind

41
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: of made me proud. Because I did the exact same

42
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: thing in the same circumstances.

43
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 4: That just didn't happen, and you just claim that it's true.

44
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: I need to thank producer Daniel and others who made

45
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: a sizzle reel for door of her appearances on the pod,

46
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 3: and we will get to Game three of the Finals

47
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: in a moment. However, speaking of Daniel, the Nuggets fan

48
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: who works with us who was trolling me during the

49
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: Lakers Nugget series, I got an email about him from

50
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: a loyal listener that I would like to read the

51
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 3: first half of chrit. I'm not going to read. The

52
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: guy's last name, christ Fer emailed love your work. I

53
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: listen every podcast and have for a while. You've even

54
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 3: gotten me into starting to watch poker. Two quick thoughts.

55
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 3: Your banter with Daniel comes off note not only as harsh,

56
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: of which you've been accused, but also dictatorial, if not

57
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: even tyrannical. It is fine to have an on air

58
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: feud with someone, However, when that person is one's employee,

59
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: to threaten to fire him or give him extra work

60
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: that is not part of his job goes beyond a

61
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: good natured sports feud. I suspect that you and Daniel

62
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 3: have the kind of relationship where he knows you're getting

63
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: and dates it as However, at least of this longtime

64
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: listener and fan, your comments to him have been off putting,

65
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: off putting and grading. So a few clarifications there. One is,

66
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: Daniel is not my employee. Daniel is Gabe's employee. Gabe

67
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: is the boss Daniel.

68
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 4: I WHOA, You're Daniel's employee. Base.

69
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 3: No, We're on two different sides of the board chart.

70
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: That's first of all. Second of all, I suspect that

71
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: you and Daniel have the kind of relationship where he

72
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: knows you're only kidding and takes it as such. I

73
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: gotta be honest with you, Chris, I'm not sure we do.

74
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: Daniel and I don't know each other aside from this

75
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: because we live on opposite sides of the country, which

76
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: actually makes my behavior even worse. So I'm, you know,

77
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: in an ongoing lifelong quest to become a better person.

78
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: One of the things I'm working on is taking criticism,

79
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: and he's starting that. I started it five days ago. Uh.

80
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 3: They did nothing to do with the podcast. They didn't

81
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 3: more do with your mother. But I'm trying to not

82
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: take criticisms as attacks, and I've thought about it, and

83
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: I think emailer Christopher has some good points. So I

84
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: would like to almost unconditionally apologize to Daniel if anyone

85
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 3: else felt that way. The reason I say almost unconditionally

86
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: is I do think the broom emoji after Game two

87
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 3: of the Lakers series was over the line. But aside

88
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: from that, I take full responsibility for everything involving it,

89
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 3: and I hope Daniel didn't actually get a signed extra

90
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 3: work by Gabe, even though I texted Gabe on the

91
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: side and said, please assign him extra work. Okay, before

92
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: we get to Game three, here's what is not on

93
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: today's show. What missed the cut for today's show is

94
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: rest in Peace Man, one of the great wrestling villains

95
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 3: of all time, The Iron Chic, has died at eighty one.

96
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins visits the Titans and Treylon Burks Titans receivers like, eh,

97
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if we want him, And just moments ago,

98
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 3: Dalvin Cook has been released by the Minnesota Vikings. The

99
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 3: Dolphins are probably the obvious landing spot for him. Also,

100
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: if you're watching on YouTube and it looks like I'm

101
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 3: moving my arms oddly, that is because I foolishly, for

102
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: the first time in months, worked out, Uh tried to

103
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: get there?

104
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 4: That was like such like like you tried to flex

105
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 4: the real quickly? Yeah, guys, Like if it looks like

106
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 4: I'm moving a lot, I do. I worked out recently.

107
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, guys mortifying what I'm about to say. I

108
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 3: for the first time in months worked out, and I

109
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 3: seem to have done something to my arms that I

110
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 3: should not have been able to do with how lightly

111
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 3: I was working out, so I can't bend them properly.

112
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: It's actually very embarrassing, almost as embarrassing as my halftime

113
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 3: tweet of you can get the heat plus five and

114
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 3: a half right now, justin FYI, only for them to

115
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 3: get blasted in the second half, which brings us right

116
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 3: to Game two, diora, go right ahead.

117
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 4: The Nuggets made Game two look like a fluke.

118
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: Game three, I should say, part of me brings us

119
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: right to Game three. Go ahead. Sorry for interrupting.

120
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 4: Apparently letting Yokic score wasn't a great idea. When the

121
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 4: series are tired one one, the winner of Game three

122
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 4: has won every series this year. Are you getting nervous?

123
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 3: Little bit?

124
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 4: And the first time you've ever admitted it.

125
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 3: Well, listen, you gotta watch the games and evaluate them fairly.

126
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: The only thing I disagree with that you said is

127
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 3: apparently letting Yokic score wasn't a great idea that the

128
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: let Yokic get forty and keep the assists under ten.

129
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 3: I still think that game plan can work. Unfortunately, last

130
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 3: night he did. He had the perfect game for what

131
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 3: the Nuggets are trying to do thirty twenty ten, got

132
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: the double digit assists, still scored efficiently at a high level,

133
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: crushed the heat on the glass. And here's why I

134
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: am getting I will admit getting a little nervous. That was,

135
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: in my opinion, a must win game for Denver because

136
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: the way they lost Game two, their coach calling out

137
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 3: their effort in game two. If they didn't respond, then

138
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 3: you would have to start to doubt whether they were

139
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: able to respond. But the key part to that is

140
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: and the reason it made me nervous, is key role

141
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 3: player Bruce Brown did not play well. Key role player

142
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 3: Kndavious Caldwell Pope did not play well. Michael Porter Junior,

143
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 3: who has been the third best player on the t

144
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: team throughout the year, once again had a brutal game

145
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 3: and once again saw his minutes cut. So why did

146
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: it make me more nervous? Because Jokich and Murray the

147
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: two stars of this team, the transcendent superstar Nikola Jokic

148
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: and the probably somewhat overqualified second option Jamal Murray. Flatley said, Nah,

149
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: we got this, And that's what you need. Moments like

150
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: that to win a championship. You need moments where the others,

151
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 3: as Shaq calls them, don't have it. You're on the

152
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 3: road and your stars carry you. And the fact that

153
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 3: they both had thirty point triple doubles, they both did

154
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 3: it efficiently, that they both answered the bell every single time.

155
00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 3: That's what wins titles. So right now, do I feel

156
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 3: like the Heat are dead? Of course not. But do

157
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 3: I feel like the Nuggets retook control of the series.

158
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 3: I do, And I believe Jimmy's gonna have a monster

159
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: Game three and that we're gonna go back to Denver

160
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: tide to two. But the fact that Yokich and Murray

161
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 3: dug down deep and just both played exceptional games is

162
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 3: ominous for the Miami Heat, and for the Miami Heat,

163
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 3: they are the They went to the wrinkle of starting

164
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: Kevin Love then they found him mostly unplayable the rest

165
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 3: of the way. They don't have any backup option for

166
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: Bam there. I know it because they are still trotting

167
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: out their Cody Zeller. Even if it's only for six minutes,

168
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: that needs to be zero minutes, and so there are

169
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: real reasons for concern for the Heat. Also, let me

170
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: give Michael Malone some credit here. This was a game

171
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: you had to have and he played minutes accordingly, meaning

172
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: Yo Kitchen Murray forty four minutes each. Now what will

173
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: that mean for Game four, that's the only game of

174
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 3: the series on one day rest. It maybe the Heat

175
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 3: take advantage of a slightly tired Yo Kitchen Murray in

176
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 3: Game four. I think that's on the board. But Yogicchen

177
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: Murray were outstanding. And that is how you win a

178
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: title In a night that KCP, Michael Porter Junior and

179
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: Bruce Brown go a combined three of sixteen and one

180
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 3: of eight from three. You control the entire game, well

181
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: the final two and a half quarters of the game,

182
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: because your stars play like stars. And I understand Heat

183
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: fans are upset at some of the officiating, particularly in

184
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 3: the second quarter, and I didn't think it was good.

185
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 3: I tweeted Tony Brothers having himself a moment here, But

186
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: that doesn't explain away the third quarter when the Nuggets

187
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: took full control of that basketball game, and the Heat

188
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 3: were lucky to only be down fourteen after three. It

189
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 3: could have been twenty and the Nuggets were great, most

190
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 3: notably obviously Jokicchen Murray. So, yeah, if you picked the

191
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: Heat like I did, of course you're a little nervous,

192
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 3: all right.

193
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 4: Next, you've said Jokic needs to prove it in the

194
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: finals to be the best in the world. The Joker

195
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 4: became the first player ever to record a thirty, twenty

196
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 4: and ten finals triple double. Are you seriously gonna wait

197
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 4: for him to get a ring to crown him?

198
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 3: Well, these are to me two different discussions, right, So,

199
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 3: has Jokic validated those MVPs? Sure, I still really don't

200
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: like last year's because they were the sixth seed and

201
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: that's not how we've done it in the past. But

202
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: if he hadn't won last year, he would have had

203
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 3: a great, even better case to win this year. So

204
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: set that aside. Has Jokic unquestionably proven that this is

205
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 3: not a regular season phenomenon that his offensive game translates

206
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: to deep playoff runs absolutely, and anyone saying he had

207
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 3: already done that is just lying he hadn't. Now you

208
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 3: can say it wasn't his fault. You can say it's

209
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 3: foolish that I need to see it, But that's the

210
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 3: standard I've had with everybody. Everybody in the NBA got

211
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 3: to see you do it on a deep playoff run

212
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 3: before you get that this is either the best or

213
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: the second or third best player in the world status

214
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: that Luca, as much as I loved him, needed that

215
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: Western Conference run carrying his team Western Hemmends finals run.

216
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: And I understand Joker had been to one conference finals

217
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: prior to this year, but he also played poorly in

218
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 3: those conference finals. Lebron made a finals very early, Durant

219
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: made a finals very early. Steph the year everyone was

220
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 3: crowning him, won the title. So asking you to go

221
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: on a deep playoff run is not unfair. What would

222
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: be unfair would be if the Heat come back and win,

223
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: If I'm like, if someone me or anybody's like, see

224
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: told you no, no, no, that's now off the board. Jokic

225
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: has answered every question. He's been exceptional in every round

226
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 3: of these playoffs, he is averaging thirty three, fourteen and

227
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: nine on almost sixty percent shooting. These finals. He's having

228
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 3: an all time postseason real quick? Does that make him

229
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: the best player in the world? Though? For that, I

230
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: do need them to finish the job, because the guy

231
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: who going into the playoffs I would have said is

232
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 3: the best player in the world was Yannis. Yannis got

233
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 3: beat by the Heat. If Jokic gets beat by the

234
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 3: same Heat team, I don't know that it's then fair

235
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: to be like, oh, okay, because Jokic played them. Later

236
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: Jannis loses his belt, Jannis will have the same number

237
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: of MVPs would have a ring in. Jokic wouldn't still

238
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: in his prime. So has Jokic proven the doubters wrong?

239
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 3: Of which I was wrong one of them? Sure? Am

240
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: I ready today June eighth to say he's the best

241
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: player in the world? Not yet. Would like him to

242
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 3: finish the job for that, But at worst he's second best.

243
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: That's what he's earned. And Vegas would tell you, the

244
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: odds would tell you, because they're overwhelmingly likely to win

245
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 3: the title, that he's going to get that title here

246
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 3: in the next week. That's your follow up. Go ahead,

247
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: do your okay? Goat what's up?

248
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 4: Nothing?

249
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 3: Okay, go ahead?

250
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 4: Were the Joki Murray double thirty point triple double is

251
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 4: more impressive than Lebron and Kyrie's forty point games in

252
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen.

253
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 3: Oh I, they were very different because Lebron. Here's the thing.

254
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: Lebron and Kyrie did it in elimination games. If they

255
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: hadn't done it, they lose. And I'm gonna say no,

256
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 3: but they're in that vicinity. And they are certainly in

257
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 3: the vicinity of a lot of the Shaq Kobe games

258
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 3: from that three pat And that's why Nuggets fans should

259
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 3: be so excited, is you have this kind of It's

260
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 3: not a new age Shack in Kobe, because as good

261
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 3: as Jamal Murray is, he's not what Kobe was, especially

262
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: for those third titles. Jokic is a very different player

263
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 3: than Shank, but has similar impact, not quite the same level. Again,

264
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 3: I think people forget what Shank did in those finals.

265
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 3: We don't have to go over it, but I mean,

266
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 3: the guy was across those three finals thirty five fifteen,

267
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: four assists, three blocks across three NBA finals. But this

268
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 3: is a path to contending for a title every single year,

269
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 3: and you now have proof of concept that as long

270
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: as these two guys are healthy and still in their primes,

271
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 3: you're going to be right there every single year. Uh.

272
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 3: And I you know, I've talked a lot about finals MVPs.

273
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 3: I'm of the belief that you should not have to

274
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: win the title necessarily to be the finals MVP. The

275
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: first ever finals MVP Jerry West lost in nineteen seventy four.

276
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 3: Kareem should have won it over John Havlichk in a loss.

277
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 3: Lebron should have won it in twenty fifteen over Andrea

278
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 3: I Guidala in a loss. Right now, it would appear

279
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 3: to me it would be shocking to me if at

280
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: the end of these finals, no matter who wins, if

281
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: I don't feel that Nikola Yoki should have been the

282
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 3: finals MVP. Now the voters historically have not agreed with

283
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 3: me on it, but that would ultimately be a pretty

284
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 3: hilarious ending to this if the Heat come back and win.

285
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 3: But Jokic, who my biggest complaint on has been that

286
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 3: we change the rules for him if he ends up

287
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 3: winning a finals MVP in a loss, something Lebron should

288
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 3: have done in twenty fifteen, but only four of the

289
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 3: eleven voters voted for him. That might be the basketball

290
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 3: gods kind of sticking one to me a bit, But

291
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 3: right now, it would be shocking to me if at

292
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 3: the end of this series I thought anyone else deserved

293
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 3: Finals MVP. All right.

294
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 4: Next, Chris Paul is set to be a free agent

295
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 4: after it was rumored the Suns will wave him. Well,

296
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 4: CP three be the next great Lakers point guard now

297
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 4: that Pat Bev is gone.

298
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 3: I think it's absolutely on the board. I don't like

299
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 3: the Pat Bev stuff. And Pat Bev also had a

300
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 3: ridiculous tweet about me the other day, but I'm not

301
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 3: gonna engage on it. Uh So, the Suns. The new salary,

302
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: the new CBA has put the Suns in a bit

303
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 3: of a pickle. Durant's on a Max, Bookers on a

304
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 3: Max Eighton's on a near Max, and Chris Paul was

305
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 3: scheduled to make thirty million, only half of that was guaranteed,

306
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 3: so they wave him. He gets fifteen million. They have

307
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 3: fifteen million on their books and now there is a

308
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 3: possibility he comes back to Phoenix at five million, and

309
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 3: then they save ten right, that's how that would work.

310
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 3: I don't think that's going to happen. I think he

311
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 3: is going to Los Angeles, probably the Lakers, maybe the Clippers. Now,

312
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 3: if you're Chris Paul and injuries have been your biggest

313
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 3: concern at this stage of your career, Both of those

314
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 3: teams have injury concerns. But the Clippers injury concern is

315
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 3: so much greater because of Kawhi and at this point,

316
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 3: Paul George to a degree, and he has a great

317
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: relationship with Lebron. I think Chris Paul and the Lakers.

318
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 3: Going super old Chris Paul to the Lakers does make

319
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: a lot of sense. I also think the Lakers need

320
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: to treat next season. Take a page out of Greg

321
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 3: Popovich's book, and Lebron and Chris Paul need to be

322
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 3: twent eight to thirty two minute of a game. Guy's

323
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 3: sixty game a year. Guys, You've got to find a

324
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 3: way to get them to the finish line. At their age,

325
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 3: the health concern would be massive. You would have two

326
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 3: of Lebron and Chris Paul two of next year, probably

327
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 3: the four oldest players in the league. But Lebron showed

328
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: you this year that he was willing to play off

329
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: the ball more and a starting five of CP three Austin, Reeves, Lebron, Ruye,

330
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 3: and Ad is interesting. It also would mean the Lakers

331
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 3: likely move on from D'Angelo Russell, which is something I

332
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 3: would encourage them to do. Either way, I'm not slamming

333
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 3: the door on Chris Paul back to Phoenix because Isaiah Thomas,

334
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 3: the original Isaiah Thomas, went on TV yesterday and said,

335
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: don't slam the door on him going back to Phoenix.

336
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 3: That's noteworthy because Matt Ishbia, the new owner of the Suns,

337
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: reportedly wanted to hire Isaiah and then there was blowback

338
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: on that so he didn't. But when if you remember

339
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 3: when Jokic pushed Ishbia in round two, sitting next to

340
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 3: him was Isaiah. He seems to be an informal advisor,

341
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: so he does have inside information. So the Suns likely

342
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 3: want to bring Chris Paul back. The question is is

343
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 3: that where Chris Paul wants to be or does he

344
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 3: want to go to LA potentially to play with Lebron.

345
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 3: See if Chris Paul can get his first ring. That's

346
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 3: what I think is gonna happen. I'd certainly rather be

347
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 3: in that business. If I'm the Lakers than a Kyrie

348
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: Irving on a Max business, So I think that is

349
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 3: something to watch. I don't think he'll be back with

350
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 3: the Suns, but I don't think it's zero percent. All right,

351
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 3: last tour it overtime. We went a little We're going

352
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 3: a little long today, but that's fine. Go ahead.

353
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 4: On Tuesday, News wrote that the Live Tour and the

354
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 4: PGA were merging. Then a Saudi soccer team offered Messi

355
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 4: one point six billion dollars. Can you explain to me

356
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 4: in the rest of the sports world why this matters?

357
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 3: All right? There are better people, people, far better qualified

358
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 3: to talk about the Live Tour and the PGA Tour.

359
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: There's plenty of podcasts you can listen to of people

360
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 3: that golf is their area of expertise. I'm not. I

361
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: think I have a cursory understanding of it from listening

362
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 3: to those podcasts, so I'm not just gonna regurgitate that.

363
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 3: The only thing I want to say about the Messy

364
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 3: deal is shout out Mike Ryan of the Dan Leviottard

365
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 3: Show and Metal Arc Media for having the Messy story

366
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: for a year. He has been dead right on this

367
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 3: scooping insiders globally, and he took a victory lap yesterday

368
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 3: and he should have. Why this matters to the rest

369
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 3: of the sports world is very simple. Is Saudi Arabia's

370
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 3: sovereign wealth fund going to purchase a major American sports team?

371
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 3: They are now in the PGA Tour, they kind of

372
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 3: own it. Are they going to buy a baseball team,

373
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 3: a basketball team or a football team? We had a

374
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 3: Russian oligarch buy a basketball team in proker Off and

375
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 3: you know, to quote Logan roy from Succession money wins

376
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 3: and there was a lot of standing on principle, trotting

377
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 3: out nine to eleven victims families done by the PGA Tour,

378
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: and then they bent the need of the money. Is

379
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 3: there a dollar amount this sovereign wealth fund in Saudi

380
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 3: Arabia could offer the NFL to where they could own

381
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 3: a team. I think dismissing it as an impossibility would

382
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 3: be naive. I don't think it's the likely outcome, but

383
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 3: I think it's on the board, and in European soccer

384
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 3: it's already happened, so it absolutely could happen. Here. Is

385
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 3: there something you wanted to ask? So I don't what

386
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 3: this means for golf, go to the golf experts on

387
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 3: what it means for the rest of the sports world

388
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: is fascinating. And the other piece of the messy news

389
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 3: with them, they already got Christiano Ronaldo. I think offering

390
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: Messi one and a half billion for a few years,

391
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: will there be a major American basketball player at some

392
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 3: point that takes that money. I don't think they have

393
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 3: the infrastruatetion ructure of a basketball league like they do

394
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: a soccer league. But if they were to build one up,

395
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 3: and you know, they offered Tiger Woods eight hundred million

396
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 3: dollars to join the Live Tour, he turned it down

397
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 3: on principle, and then the PGA merged with him. Tiger's

398
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: probably furious they offered. Rory says they didn't offer him money,

399
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: but the reports were it was, you know, a few

400
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 3: hundred million. What the PGA Tour is going to do

401
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 3: to make those guys hole. As a separate story, but

402
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 3: if in six years they were to go to whoever

403
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 3: the face of the NBA is in six years win

404
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 3: bin Yama and say, hey, you're maxed out at sixty

405
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 3: million a year in the NBA, We'll offer you six

406
00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 3: hundred million for one year to come over here. Someone

407
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 3: probably says yes. So it's more of a long term

408
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 3: story than a short term story. But folks will set

409
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 3: aside principle for the right dollar amount. And one of

410
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 3: the reasons that I stayed out of a lot of

411
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 3: the moral finger wagging on the live stuff was I

412
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 3: thought about, now, they wouldn't want me because I'm not

413
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 3: a golf guy, not like the you know, I like golf,

414
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't be on your top thirty broadcasters you

415
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 3: wanted for golf. But if the live tour had kept going,

416
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 3: would there have been a dollar amount that they came

417
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 3: to me on and offered me that I'd be like,

418
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: I have to say yes. The answer is probably yes.

419
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 3: Now you can say, Nick, that makes you a bad person,

420
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 3: that's a moral failing, all of those things. I'm just

421
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 3: being honest. Could there have been a dollar amount where

422
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, I'll do it, probably, And so I

423
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 3: understood the golfers doing it, But now I think it

424
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 3: might touch other sports. It might just take a bit.

425
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: So there's my thoughts on that. We play a quick

426
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 3: game of Nick Wright public Defender, play a game of

427
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 3: Wright ends. Do you have the whiteboards today. Good job

428
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 3: and door a doora diora.

429
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 4: Stop lying to people are giving me a bad name.

430
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: All let the audience decide.

431
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 4: I told you weren't allowed to do that.

432
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 3: Well, all, let the audience decide we do that next.

433
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 3: Well's right.

434
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 5: If your football team had one option in their playbook,

435
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 5: the results probably wouldn't be great. The same could be

436
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 5: said for your investments. Cibo index options like SPX and

437
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 5: xsp can help expand your investing strategies with cash settlement

438
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,959
Speaker 5: and potential tax advantages. If you're ready for a more

Speaker 4: Welcome Back, Episode one, Mario.

445
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: Well, hold on, what does it say right above that

446
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 3: in all bold before?

447
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 4: I told you we're not doing that?

448
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 3: So I have a storytell about.

449
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 4: Maybe this is my last podcast and I.

450
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 3: Was Door's age. So the only office job I've ever

451
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 3: had was an internship at UH. I'm not gonna say

452
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 3: the company a large company that was based in Kansas city. Thus,

453
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 3: I the summer between yeah, the summer between when I

454
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 3: was doors age, actually summer between senior high school and

455
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 3: freshman year of college, I got a job selling stakes

456
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 3: door to door, uh that my parents hated and didn't

457
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 3: want me to get. But I had to get it

458
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 3: because I had been arrested and I didn't tell them,

459
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 3: and I had to pay my friends back who bailed

460
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 3: me out of jail, and then pay for a lawyer

461
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 3: right before college. And it was a terrible idea to

462
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 3: not tell my parents because I got the world's worst

463
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: lawyer and then ended up on probation my first two

464
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 3: years of college. And it was just just terrible decision.

465
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 3: Tied it from my parents, and they of course found

466
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 3: out anyway. Eventually the next summer summer between freshman and

467
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 3: sophomore year, I had an internship major company office shop

468
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 3: and it was miserable. Got in like did answered emails,

469
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 3: and I did it for like a week and I

470
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 3: was getting paid for it, and then I got an

471
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 3: email asking me on like a Thursday, like my Thursday

472
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 3: or Friday of my first week there, asking me to

473
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: go to a different building across the campus of this

474
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: big office complex to meet with someone. I thought I

475
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 3: was in trouble, and I went there and they said, so,

476
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 3: here's the deal. Unfortunately the person you report to has

477
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 3: been let go. So on Monday you're gonna be reassigned.

478
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 3: We don't know if your little cubicle is gonna have

479
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 3: to move or what, but you're gonna be reassigned on Monday.

480
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 3: You can go home for the day. So it must

481
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 3: have been a Friday. You can go home for the day.

482
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 3: You'll get paid for the whole day, and you'll get

483
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 3: an email. Monday. I said, Okay, showed up Monday, no email,

484
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 3: showed up Tuesday, no email, and I'm just sitting there

485
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 3: reading old Bill Simmons columns, just nothing to do. And

486
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 3: by midweek I realized, oh, they forgot to reassign me.

487
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 3: I probably should tell them, but instead I was like, nah,

488
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 3: I just need to clock in, be here, and be

489
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 3: and then clock out at five. And what I do

490
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 3: in the intervene intervening six hours is my business. They

491
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 3: had a little room. I look back on it now,

492
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 3: I shouldn't have been doing any of this. It was

493
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 3: twenty years ago. They had like on the bottom floor

494
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 3: of the building. They had three little small rooms by

495
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 3: where the restrooms were that I now know were like, uh,

496
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 3: breastfeeding rooms. There was just a room with like a

497
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 3: very very comfortable chair that reclined. I'd go in there

498
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 3: and take naps. Across the street from where I was

499
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 3: working was a movie theater, and I went and saw

500
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 3: every movie there was. It just every day for two months.

501
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 3: For two months, I clocked in, hung out for like

502
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 3: an hour, checked to see if my you've been reassigned

503
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 3: email came. It didn't come. I would leave, go to lunch,

504
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 3: go see a movie, whatever, come back. With like two

505
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 3: weeks left in my internship, I got an email from

506
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 3: someone saying, Hey, I think you're supposed to be working

507
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 3: on my team. Can you come meet with me. I

508
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 3: met with them. They were like, yeah, we'd like to

509
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 3: do this project. I'm like, oh, no problem. They're like, so,

510
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 3: who have you been reporting to the last couple of months?

511
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 3: And I just like did like a shell game of

512
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 3: ah blah blah blah and subject changed. It never happened, like,

513
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 3: never came back to bite me. Did my last two

514
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 3: weeks did the project done? So imagine my surprise plus

515
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 3: a little bit of proud parent when Dior Today on

516
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 3: the way in to the podcast, says, Oh my gosh,

517
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 3: there's so many movies I haven't seen that I want

518
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 3: to see. She says Guardians of the Galaxy. She says

519
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 3: Avatar too, and then she says, oh, I saw the

520
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 3: Mario movie. And I'm like, when'd you see the Mario movie?

521
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 3: Or No? I said, who'd you go to the Mario

522
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 3: movie with? And what'd you say to you?

523
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 4: Era myself?

524
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: She said myself.

525
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 4: I see movies by myself all the time.

526
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 3: And then I said where'd you see it? And we

527
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 3: don't have to name the place, because when do your

528
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 3: is not doing the podcast, she volunteers at a senior

529
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 3: living facility and she said, oh, at the one by

530
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 3: such and such where I work. As I go, really.

531
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 4: Where I used to work?

532
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, where you used to work before you went

533
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 3: to a different location because that one what it wasn't

534
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 3: fitting you. And I was like, mmmm, this.

535
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 4: Is a really annoying conversation.

536
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 3: So my wonderful scoot during these two months of you know,

537
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 3: her project, was it possible that when I thought she

538
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 3: was working six hour shifts there were three hour shifts

539
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 3: and catching a little Mario movie matinee, going getting a

540
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 3: bagel hanging out? Is it? This is safe space? You

541
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 3: can be honest with me here.

542
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 4: No, it's not.

543
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 3: Are you actually annoyed with me? I am proud of you.

544
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 3: I you know what, at your age, you're supposed to

545
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 3: get in a little bit of trouble. You're supposed to

546
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 3: be a little mischievous. You got it naturally, you got

547
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 3: it from me. I'm not upset. You can just tell

548
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 3: me a little early like I want to go see

549
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 3: the Mario movie. I want to go see that. It's okay,

550
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 3: won't do public defender? Should I do a public defender

551
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 3: for you? So go ahead?

552
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 4: Mario Chalmers, Chalmers, former member of the Miami Big Four,

553
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 4: said well this, I feel like Lebron is the greatest

554
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 4: player to ever play this game, but he's just not

555
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 4: my goat. Only one man could defend this. It's time

556
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 4: for Nick Wright public defender.

557
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 3: It's very easy, my client, Mario Chalmers, just put to

558
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 3: words what the vast majority of people think and feel.

559
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 3: They're just afraid to actually say it because they think

560
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 3: they'll be made fun of. The majority of people deep

561
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 3: down know and recognize Lebron's the greatest player ever. They

562
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 3: just don't want to call him the goat. They know

563
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 3: that there is not act actually a strong argument anymore

564
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 3: that Michael Jordan had a greater career than Lebron. But

565
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan has become such a Paul Bunyan like figure

566
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 3: in pop culture, in media, and in the hearts and

567
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 3: minds of sports fans, they just want to always be

568
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 3: able to call him the goat, even if they don't

569
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 3: actually think he's the greatest player to ever play. So

570
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:34,240
Speaker 3: why would you attack my client Mario Chalmers for simply

571
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 3: being honest, for simply putting to words what so many

572
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 3: other people actually believe. But instead they twist themselves in

573
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 3: logical pretzels by saying things like six to zero and

574
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 3: never lost in all of this other nonsense, when the

575
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 3: reality is they believe this Lebron's the greatest to ever

576
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 3: do it, but Jordan's the goat. That's what folks at

577
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: this point truly believe. Mike just had the courage to

578
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 3: say it. We rest our case. How'd I do? How'd

579
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 3: I do? Did?

580
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 4: Fine?

581
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 3: You can't be mad at me?

582
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 4: Yes I can, Yes, I can.

583
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 3: Actually you can't be mad at me. I think there's

584
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 3: a part two of the Public Defender.

585
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 4: Well known sports broadcaster uses his platform to bully his kids.

586
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 4: Defend your client, Nick Right.

587
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 3: Defend my client, Nick Right. What my children right now

588
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 3: may perceive as bullying is actually what is in my

589
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 3: client's eyes, bonding and tough love and quietly, let you know,

590
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 3: letting them off the hook for possible misdeeds by being like, hey,

591
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 3: we've all been there, whether this was a whether my

592
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 3: assumption here is correct or not in the latest allegtion

593
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 3: instance of bullying, what you now know is oh, okay,

594
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 3: So that other thing that whatever happened that he doesn't

595
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 3: know about, I don't have to feel guilty about. I

596
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 3: am actually trying to relieve any stress or anxiety that

597
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 3: my children have by showing them in a very public

598
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 3: way that we are all different levels of flawed people

599
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 3: that make different levels of flawed choices.

600
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 4: Wonderful father of the year. Let's play a game of writings. Okay, okay.

601
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 4: So Bill's quarterback Josh Allen is this year's Madden cover athlete.

602
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 4: Is Alan bound to be cursed or de mahomes break

603
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 4: the curse? Last year for Josh Allen, the Madden curse.

604
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 3: Is oh h for Josh Allen, the Madden curse is

605
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 3: in slash A not applicable because the Madden curse. Typically,

606
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 3: the reason the Madden Curse has existed in the past

607
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 3: is because you get on the cover of Madden after

608
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 3: you have a career year, and because of that, It's

609
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 3: not that it's a Madden curse, It's that the overwhelming

610
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 3: odds were you were gonna have a down year either way.

611
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 3: Josh Allen is not getting on it after a career year.

612
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 3: Josh Allen is getting on it after a down year.

613
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 3: Josh Allen is getting on it after a three month

614
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,879
Speaker 3: semi slumped in the season and then getting rolled at

615
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 3: home scoring ten points in a playoff game in round two.

616
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 3: So I don't think that the Madden curse is gonna

617
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 3: apply to Josh Allen. I don't understand the possible justification

618
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 3: for putting him on it over Jalen Hurts or Joe Burrow.

619
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 3: If you don't want to put Mahomes on it, because

620
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 3: Mahomes has already been on it twice, once with Brady

621
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 3: and once by himself, so be it. And if it

622
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,320
Speaker 3: has to be a quarterback, then obviously Jalen Hurts or

623
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow deserve it more. But I don't think the

624
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 3: Madden curse is actually going to impact Josh Allen.

625
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 4: Next Damian Lillard is talking a lot about other teams

626
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 4: for someone who is loyal. Last week he joked about

627
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 4: going to the Lakers, and now he's saying he's interested

628
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 4: in Miami and Brooklyn. Next year, Damian Lillard will play

629
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 4: in Okay.

630
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 3: So here's the thing, Dame, you know, was I don't

631
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 3: want to see he was baited into this, but he

632
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 3: was asked if they were to trade you, where would

633
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 3: you want to go? When he said Miami in Brooklyn.

634
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:39,439
Speaker 3: I do not think that he is starting the year

635
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 3: on another team. So next year, Damian Lillard will play

636
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 3: for the Blazers. Does he finish the year on the Blazers?

637
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 3: I doubt it. I shouldn't say I doubt it. I'm

638
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 3: not sure of it. But I don't think he's being

639
00:42:55,320 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 3: traded this summer. I think it would be smart. Dame

640
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 3: has only won three playoff games in the last four years.

641
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 3: He's only won four playoff series in his entire career,

642
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 3: and unlike other guys who have themselves to blame for that,

643
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 3: Dame has been an awesome playoff performer. But they have

644
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 3: not put the right team around him. And in all

645
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 3: of NBA history, let me ask you this Tojora, in

646
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 3: all of NBA history, how many guys under six '

647
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 3: four do you think have been the best player on

648
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 3: a champion? NBA has been around seventy seven years. How

649
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 3: many guys under six feet four inches tall have been

650
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 3: the best player on a champion? Twelve two Steph and

651
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 3: Isaiah Thomas. That's it point there is you're not really

652
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 3: supposed to be able to win the title with the

653
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 3: guy dame size as your best player. I understand. If

654
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,399
Speaker 3: he doesn't care about that, then more power to him

655
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 3: to stay in Portland. But if he wants to have

656
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 3: a chance to have a deep postseason run, he has

657
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 3: to get out of there. And I think he knows

658
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 3: this at that point. This point, even if they were

659
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 3: to trade the number three pick, he one of the

660
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 3: guys he mentioned was Mikale Bridges. They call up Brooklyn say,

661
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 3: we'll give you the number three pick for McHale Bridges.

662
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 3: That does not make Portland a championship team. It just doesn't.

663
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 3: So but I don't think he's gonna force the trade.

664
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 3: I think Portland should talk to him. I think for

665
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 3: Portland trading Dame getting draft picks and younger players because

666
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 3: Dame's turning thirty three or just turned thirty three, and

667
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 3: building around the number three pick, be it Brandon Miller

668
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 3: or Scoot Henderson and Shaden Sharp and what you get

669
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 3: for Dame makes a lot of sense. Scoot Henderson someone

670
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 3: I think you'd like diora like as a player. He's

671
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 3: your age. He is just he's not super, he's like

672
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 3: six to two, but just a crazy athlete and plays

673
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 3: with this level of athleticism and intensity. I think you'd

674
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 3: really like him. You should google Scoot Henderson and some

675
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 3: of his highlights later. I think you'd like the way

676
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 3: he plays. I think you'd find him exciting, is I

677
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 3: guess what I'm saying. And the fact that he's your age,

678
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 3: I think you would think it's cool. All right? Next?

679
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 3: Okay next.

680
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant tweeted, I don't think Jokic wants or cares

681
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 4: to be a star. Go to work, go home, FaceTime

682
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 4: his horses and hop in the pool. But then he

683
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 4: deleted it. Katie's deleted his tweet because you think he's

684
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 4: coming to Denver.

685
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 3: Now he's not going to Denver. I did not understand

686
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 3: a so, hold on, I have to write this. I

687
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 3: have to do I forget sometimes that we have to

688
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 3: do write ends. Kat deleted his tweet because and I

689
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 3: wrote three question marks. It was such an innocuous, non

690
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 3: controversial tweet. I have no idea why he deleted it.

691
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 4: It's a little bit controversial. I wouldn't call it controversial,

692
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 4: but like it could give him some beef with Yokis

693
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 4: you know so but he was, but it didn't also

694
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 4: like he's.

695
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 3: Been nothing but complimentary of Jokic, and I didn't view

696
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 3: this as an insult at all. I just think he

697
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 3: was saying that. I mean, there's the tweet. I don't

698
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 3: think Jokic wants or cares to be a star, go

699
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 3: to work, go home, face onime, his horses hop in

700
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 3: the pool. I actually think that's how Durant feels too,

701
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 3: not necessarily the face on his horse is not in

702
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:43,240
Speaker 3: the pool, but that he loves playing ball and doesn't

703
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 3: necessarily love all the stuff that goes along with it.

704
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 3: So I didn't understand why he deleted it, all right.

705
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 4: Next okay, Pro Football Reference officially listed the prince that

706
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 4: was promised as the Trevor Lawrence nickname and credited you.

707
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 4: This is your greatest professional achievement since.

708
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, my greatest professional achievement since birth. You

709
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 3: put anything exactly right? Yeah, I mean this is now.

710
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 3: Oh no, oh man.

711
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 4: Oh you oh, You're gonna have expo on your pants

712
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 4: to get your new car today.

713
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 3: Threw all my pants. See, you want to make fun

714
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 3: of me for what's before I finished answering this question,

715
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,240
Speaker 3: what's in my backpack door?

716
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 4: I don't think it's that embarrassing. He has an extra

717
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 4: jacket in his bag because he didn't want to wear

718
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 4: this jacket today and I convinced him to wear it,

719
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 4: but he said that he has to wear a different

720
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 4: one to the car dealership, so he looks like more

721
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 4: of a professional.

722
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 3: I just want to look fancier when I buy my

723
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 3: new car, very excited about it.

724
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 4: You're gonna tell everyone what card is.

725
00:47:54,520 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm not gonna do that. Okay, it's uh,

726
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 3: it's a car befitting a man of my stature. It's

727
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 3: a nice car I had then no, I had, and

728
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 3: don't say the brand of the car that we currently

729
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 3: have to or I had I bought during the pandemic

730
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 3: what had always been like one of my dream cars,

731
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 3: and everyone warned me against it, saying, and we'll get

732
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 3: to the Trevor Lawrence stuff in a moment, saying it's

733
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 3: going to be in the shop every two months. Don't

734
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 3: get it. They're a wreck. They that they have so

735
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 3: many issues. This sensor goes out, that sensor goes out.

736
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 3: And I ignored them, and everyone could not have been

737
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 3: more correct. That's that car. I have had it for

738
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 3: less than three years, has been in the shop twelve times,

739
00:48:55,960 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 3: twelve times, and it's just super nice car. But I

740
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 3: just this last time, I just I just literally left

741
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 3: the dealership shop where it was getting worked on and

742
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 3: drove down the street to a different dealership and started

743
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 3: looking at cars. I was like, I just I can't

744
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 3: deal with this. The oh, show them what you drew

745
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 3: about the Trevor Lawrence thing. Deer drew a picture of

746
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 3: a prince and said, the promised prince. So here's the

747
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 3: thing about the Trevor Lawrence thing. This now you know,

748
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 3: is etched in stone for all of history. I spoke

749
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 3: it into existence and show the control room. I feel

750
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 3: like you guys need to apologize because last year, during

751
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:48,800
Speaker 3: our gambling show. You guys kept trolling me about the

752
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 3: Jaguar stuff. You kept saying I was hurting the credibility

753
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 3: of the show by always picking the Jags and talking

754
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 3: about the Jags. Thank you, Daniel. That's my guy, always

755
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 3: has been. But I always picking about the Jags, talking

756
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 3: about the Jags. And now he is. He will during

757
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 3: a game next year, probably broadcast by Sparrodites, because it's

758
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 3: not gonna be the you know, the number one or

759
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 3: number two CBS game, he is going to be called

760
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 3: the Prince who was promised and it's because of me.

761
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 3: So yes, thank you, guys. I appreciate that that wasn't,

762
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 3: by the way, a shot at Sparrow Did's. My point

763
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 3: is he's just he's not doesn't get the nance games.

764
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. Gabe's walking out the room. He's

765
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 3: disgusted with me.

766
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 4: Next, you are going to the Beaumont Steaks this weekend.

767
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 4: We know you're a gambler, So your pick for the

768
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 4: Beaumont Steaks is I.

Speaker 3: Don't haven't picked yet, but I'm getting there early. I'm

Speaker 3: are gonna gamble, and I am gonna gamble and I'm

Speaker 4: some of the shares.

787
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,799

Speaker 4: What would you name your racehorse?

793
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 3: If I had a racehorse, what would I name it?

794
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 4: So you gotta keep in mind, Prince, that was promised.

795
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 3: No, it wouldn't be that. That's Trevor Lawrence. Uh, you

796
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 3: gotta keep in mind. Don't no, I wouldn't name my

797
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:19,720
Speaker 3: racehorse donkey that you want it to sound either cool

798
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 3: or funny. When the announcer if you got to envision

799
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,280
Speaker 3: your racehorse winning a big race, and then he says,

800
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 3: and down the stretch they come secretariat, who's the racehorse?

801
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 3: Ever man a war affirmed wins the Kentucky Derby. So

802
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 3: you either want it to sound regal or funny or

803
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 3: have a sentimental thing. I would name my racehorse woot scoop.

804
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 3: That's what I would name it. And every time I

805
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 3: saw it, I would think of you when you were

806
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 3: a little girl. And then it would win a race

807
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 3: and they would say, and woot scoot win's the War

808
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:57,919
Speaker 3: of the Rose.

809

822
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 4: Welcome back, Episode one fifty eight. We're going to read

823
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 4: your fan questions now, Noah Rodrigo. Rodriguez asked where do

824
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 4: you think CP three should go. I think the Spurs

825
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 4: is a good fit. He can help out Whimby in

826
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 4: positions to score and can be a good veteran leader

827
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 4: for the young guys for a year or two.

828
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 3: I it'd be a great for the Spurs. I think

829
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 3: it's a bad fit for Chris Paul if he's trying

830
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 3: to win a title. Even if Wimby is better than

831
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 3: people expect, which seems impossible, they're not going to be

832
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,919
Speaker 3: ready to win a title in the next couple years

833
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 3: and Chris Paul doesn't have many years left for the Spurs.

834
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 3: I absolutely would go after him, and I think it

835
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 3: would be a great way to develop Wimby. I would

836
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 3: even overpay to get him, but I don't think it

837
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 3: makes sense for Chris Paul.

838
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 4: Next Ryan, why said Hey, Nick, and Diora. The Nuggets

839
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 4: seemed to be in a position to go on a

840
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 4: run next year regardless of the outcome of this finals.

841
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 4: Who do you think could be another.

842
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 3: Other another up and coming team they wrote.

843
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 4: It wrong, another up and coming team to make a swash.

844
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 3: I think that next year it's hard to find a

845
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 3: dark horse. Memphis is a mess. I don't think Sacramento's

846
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 3: ready for a hugely keep Minnesota. I don't trust New Orleans.

847
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 3: Zion's dealing with a lot of stuff off the court.

848
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 3: If you can even get on the court, have you

849
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 3: seen any of the Zion stuff? He did a how

850
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 3: are you doing that? With her neck's face? He did

851
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 3: a gender reveal ginger reveal, yeah for his girlfriend, Oh,

852
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 3: a gender gender girlfriend's pregnant, and then a uh, I

853
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 3: don't know her name, but she seems to be a

854
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:39,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if she's an adult film or only

855
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 3: fans or someone who was not the person in the

856
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 3: gender reveal started tweeting about she and Zion having a

857
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 3: very close relationship and it's not great. He has I

858
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,919
Speaker 3: think some girl trouble going on and he can't stay

859
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 3: on the court and not great. So New Orleans not

860
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 3: the team out east. I don't think Cleveland or the

861
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 3: Knicks are gonna take some big leap. I ain't so.

862
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 3: I actually don't think there's a dark horse next year.

863
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:21,720
Speaker 3: The following year, I think Cleveland could be in position

864
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 3: if Lebron goes there. I also think it is very

865
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 3: hard right now to figure it out because we have

866
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 3: to see how the new CBA, which teams are gonna

867
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 3: say screw it, don't care about the second apron. We'll

868
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,919
Speaker 3: deal with the consequences, and which teams are gonna try

869
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 3: to pare down salaries, which could then allow for some

870
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 3: of the teams that have space to have an influx

871
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 3: of talent that we didn't expect.

872
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 4: All Right, next, Matt asks should I fire Djokovic?

873
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 3: Good job, that's good. That's a hard one to pronout.

874
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 3: Go ahead, I'm I'm complimenting you. That's a hard one

875
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 3: to pronounce. Go ahead, start over.

876
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 4: No, I'm not gonna say okay plus one seventy five

877
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 4: tomorrow with my refunded natal.

878
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 3: Do I was dole money.

879
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 4: See the thing is, that's what I was about to say,

880
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 4: and then I was like, I got it wrong last time,

881
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 4: so I have to say.

882
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 3: No, Alcarez is gonna win. I told you that, Matt,

883
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 3: and that is not a listener or viewer. That is

884
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 3: assuredly our producer, Matt. Matt, you know what, I'll make

885
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 3: you a deal, buddy. If you the I mean, we

886
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 3: really shouldn't do this, but if you actually were considering

887
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 3: betting on Nadal I was at plus one seventy five,

888
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 3: I was considering betting on Alcarez at minus two hundred.

889
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 3: We can I'll just give you plus one ninety and

890
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 3: I'll take the other side of it. If that's something

00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 3: you want to do, you can text me on this.

892
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:14,040

893
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,800

894
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 3: a friendly you know, fifty or one hundred bucks or something.

895
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,600
