Speaker 2: going on on the show. Listen some some people would
Speaker 2: be a little disturbed by this. I couldn't be prouder.

Speaker 2: to us obviously on iTunes, Spotify check us out there.
Speaker 2: But before we get to week twelve in the NFL,
Speaker 2: here's what is not making today's show. What did not
Speaker 2: make the cut for today's show is Odell getting as
Speaker 2: scored it off a plane. Conflicting reports here, and I
Speaker 2: am not one to just believe what the police tell me. However,
Speaker 2: Odell's lawyer's excuse does not seem that believable either, so
Speaker 2: I'm I'm intrigued by what may or may not have
Speaker 2: actually happened. I know it's not the greatest look for
Speaker 2: a guy who's trying to interview for jobs right now.
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs with an eighty six yard walk off touchdown
Speaker 2: in overtime to beat the Seattle Seahawks, and the fight
Speaker 2: in Gino Smith's and the Chiefs not really making today's
Speaker 2: show as they dominate Bryce Perkins. You said you were
Speaker 2: gonna bring up on the podcast something I said about
Speaker 2: Bryce Perkins. I thought about it for a few hours.
Speaker 2: You are not gonna bring them up on the podcast.
Speaker 2: Let's get to today's show. Here is demonsy, what are
Speaker 2: we starting with?
Speaker 3: Ours are the Eagles. They now moved to to ten
Speaker 3: and one on Sunday Night Football, and Jalen Hurts is
Speaker 3: looking like an MVP. But the big story, the big
Speaker 3: story was Aaron rodgers old injury.
Speaker 2: Can we just pause just for one second before we
Speaker 2: get to Aaron Rodgers? You guys just start the clock
Speaker 2: if you want. But it's fine. I told you guys
Speaker 2: last week what was going to happen with the MVP conversation?
Speaker 2: And I thought, you guys, last week the whole football
Speaker 2: media came to a consensus where I've been all year,
Speaker 2: that it's Patrick Mahomes and then it's everybody else. And
Speaker 2: last week the general consensus was Mahomes the MVP. Let's
Speaker 2: stop being dumb. We know he's the MVP. And what
Speaker 2: did I tell you guys? I told you guys that
Speaker 2: that would last a few weeks maximum, and then they
Speaker 2: will find someone new to put. Ah, maybe it's this guy.
Speaker 2: It took six days and now it's oh, maybe it's
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is the MVP. And by by the way,
Speaker 2: unfortunately for Jalen, they probably got damn too early. In
Speaker 2: a few weeks, it will be guys to to us
Speaker 2: the MVP. Mahomes. It's gonna be Mahomes versus Allen, then
Speaker 2: Mahomes versus Hurts, then Mahomes versus.
Speaker 3: Tua, and who was the best candidate.
Speaker 2: It wouldn't shock me if they steal this MVP from
Speaker 2: him like they did in twenty twenty, as I told you,
Speaker 2: might happen, But go ahead, that's not the story here.
Speaker 3: The biggest story here is Aaron Rodgers and his injury. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he came into the game with a fracture thumb and
Speaker 3: late in the third went into the locker room with
Speaker 3: a rib injury.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But to the rescue, Jordan Love came in and looked excellent.
Speaker 2: He did look good.
Speaker 3: Almost immediately threw a touchdown. Everyone remember when remembers when
Speaker 3: Rogers pulled this exact exact move once upon a time.
Speaker 3: Far so, is this the end of Aaron Rodgers in
Speaker 3: Green Bay.
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is a complicated question because I think
Speaker 2: the Packers and Rogers after the game said he wants
Speaker 2: to play, he wants to keep playing. They're done, They're
Speaker 2: fourign eight, They're cooked, They're finished. And James Jones, if
Speaker 2: you're watching, I do not forget a few weeks ago
Speaker 2: when you were on First Things First with me and
Speaker 2: bet me an indetermined amount of money that the Packers
Speaker 2: were gonna win ten games, and I said, any stakes
Speaker 2: you want is fine. You were very loud about them
Speaker 2: winning ten games. Well, they have now lost eight games,
Speaker 2: so winning ten games is mathematically impossible. So you can
Speaker 2: forward me the check whenever you want, mister Jones. But
Speaker 2: that's neither here nor there. Packers are done. Okay, we
Speaker 2: know the Packers are done. We also know that they
Speaker 2: are in a very odd spot with Jordan Love because
Speaker 2: he was a first round pick. First round picks get
Speaker 2: four year contracts with a fifth year option, meaning the
Speaker 2: team has the option to add a fifth year to
Speaker 2: the contract. Okay, that option must be exercised in the
Speaker 2: off season between their third and fourth years. That's this
Speaker 2: off season for Jordan Low. So the only silver lining
Speaker 2: to the season from hell and now to the fact
Speaker 2: that Rogers is legitimately banged up. Is you can sit
Speaker 2: him the rest of the way and get a five
Speaker 2: weeks sample of Jordan Love, not necessarily because you're moving
Speaker 2: on from Aaron Rodgers, but because you need to see
Speaker 2: Love play so you can determine A. Do we want
Speaker 2: to pick up his option? B? Does he have real
Speaker 2: trade value?
Speaker 3: What if?
Speaker 2: So the Packers front office this off season is going
Speaker 2: to have to I believe. Let so let's just go
Speaker 2: through all the possible scenarios. Let me set this up well,
Speaker 2: because this is important. Scenario one, you go back to
Speaker 2: Rogers season. What is gained from that? I would argue
Speaker 2: nothing other than maybe he gets, you know, a little
Speaker 2: more reps with the young receivers. But you can't make
Speaker 2: the playoffs either way. All you can do is get
Speaker 2: hurt more. There is to me nothing to be gained
Speaker 2: from going back to Rodgers. Okay, that's door number one.
Speaker 2: Door number two. You go to Jordan Love and he's awful. Okay,
Speaker 2: you now can decline the fifth year option. Understand that
Speaker 2: was a bad pick. Move forward with Aaron Rodgers. You
Speaker 2: go to Jordan Love and he's good. That then opens
Speaker 2: two separate possibilities three actually possibility number one. If he's good,
Speaker 2: you pick up the fifth year option. You hold on
Speaker 2: to Jordan Love, you keep Aaron Rodgers. Rogers is your
Speaker 2: starter next year, and then the year after you make
Speaker 2: a decision, do we want to trade Rogers? Release Rogers
Speaker 2: after next season, move on with Jordan Love. What do
Speaker 2: we want to do? Okay, Jordan Love is good. Door
Speaker 2: number two of that, you'll ask around the league and say,
Speaker 2: what can we get for this guy? Can we get
Speaker 2: a first round pick for this guy? In a world
Speaker 2: where Matt Ryan gets traded for stuff, Carson Wentz gets
Speaker 2: traded for a lot of stuff, one more year of
Speaker 2: him on a very cheap rookie deal plus a relatively
Speaker 2: cheap fifth year option. Is there a team like the
Speaker 2: New York Jets if Mike White turns back into a
Speaker 2: pumpkin that decides, we're good, we need a quarterback. We
Speaker 2: know this is what we don't want to go through
Speaker 2: the total crapshoot of the draft again, and we will
Speaker 2: use those draft picks to try to make one more
Speaker 2: Super Bowl push with Rogers. Door number three of the
Speaker 2: Jordan Love is good of option is you trade Aaron
Speaker 2: Rodgers and you move forward with Jordan Love. The point
Speaker 2: is this, I don't know if Rogers is the quarterback
Speaker 2: next year. I do know it would be inarguably the
Speaker 2: wrong decision to not take advantage of the one good
Speaker 2: part of a lost season, which is that you can
Speaker 2: use the last five weeks to evaluate this quarterback. And
Speaker 2: if that pisses off Aaron Rodgers to use the old
Speaker 2: one of my favorite quotes from a show I actually
Speaker 2: didn't watch, mad Men, the Dom Draper quote, that's what
Speaker 2: the money's for, Aaron? You're upset, Well, luckily we just
Speaker 2: gave you one hundred and fifty million dollars.
Speaker 3: On a one year contract. Who Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 2: She was before they signed him to this extension?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so what do you even are you even able
Speaker 3: to get anything for Aaron?
Speaker 2: Yes? Because yeah you would, because and speak up.
Speaker 3: A little bit. Youems have to finish his contract right.
Speaker 2: Well, it's listen, the Aaron Rodgers contract is complicated, and
Speaker 2: it's a lot of money people would be trading for,
Speaker 2: but it's after next season. It's a year to year commitment.
Speaker 2: It's not You're not locked into him for multiple seasons
Speaker 2: after next year. So because of that, I think that
Speaker 2: I think there would be a market, maybe not a
Speaker 2: strong market, but a market for Rogers. They can't cut him,
Speaker 2: they could trade him. It would actually help their cap
Speaker 2: situation a bit. So the point is this, you must
Speaker 2: get the knowledge that is available to you by playing
Speaker 2: Jordan Love next. All right, by the way, there's a
Speaker 2: Rogers done in Green Bay. Sixty percent? Say yes, all right,
Speaker 2: go ahead?
Speaker 3: All right. The Browns shocked the Bucks in overtime, also
Speaker 3: shocked my bet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you would have lost the bet anyway thanks
Speaker 2: to the Raiders.
Speaker 3: Maybe, but the Bucks had a chance. The Browns tied
Speaker 3: the game with less than a minute to go in
Speaker 3: the fourth We've all seen Brady pull off countless game
Speaker 3: winning drives. This one seemed more than doable. But the
Speaker 3: Bucks didn't stop the clock and instead played for overtime
Speaker 3: and lost. Is Todd Boss is not hacking in disguise?
Speaker 3: Or do the bucket or do the Bucks lack trust
Speaker 3: in tom? Okay?
Speaker 2: The Bucks clock management at the end of that game
Speaker 2: was a total abomination. In overtime, it wasn't good at
Speaker 2: the end of the fourth quarter. It was a travesty
Speaker 2: so I want to go through because everyone's focusing just
Speaker 2: on the final Tampa drive. That was not the problem.
Speaker 2: The problem was this. Here's the situation. You were up
Speaker 2: seventeen to ten. Cleveland has one time time out. That's
Speaker 2: the key piece of information. Cleveland has one timeout. Okay,
Speaker 2: the Browns pop a giant Nick Chubb run. They have
Speaker 2: first and ten from the Tampa twelve with a minute
Speaker 2: fifty three left. Okay, at that moment, any serious team
Speaker 2: must understand, even though you have the lead, you now
Speaker 2: must preserve the clock. So let me explain it. Because
Speaker 2: Cleveland only has one timeout. If they and there's a
Speaker 2: minute fifty three left, if they don't score, you're taking needs.
Speaker 2: You win the game if you stop them from scoring.
Speaker 2: Because one timeout, you can stop it once, but then
Speaker 2: you can kneel it twice. That takes eighty five seconds
Speaker 2: off the clock. There's only one hundred and thirteen seves left.
Speaker 2: Their plays are going to take ten to fifteen seconds.
Speaker 2: It's game over. You're a kneel down territory. So the clock. Now,
Speaker 2: Cleveland no longer cares about the clock. They actually want
Speaker 2: to use as much clock as possible because if they
Speaker 2: don't score, the tying touchdown. They've lost either way. If
Speaker 2: they have all their timeouts, or even two of their timeouts,
Speaker 2: it's a different situation. But if you're Tampa, once they
Speaker 2: get down to the twelve and there's a minute fifty
Speaker 2: three left, you must understand, yes, we want to stop them,
Speaker 2: but if we don't stop them, we want to have
Speaker 2: ninety seconds. You could have to get a game winning
Speaker 2: field goal. Instead, Tampa lets them run thirty three seconds
Speaker 2: off the clock before their second down play. That's in
Speaker 2: a minute twenty it's an incomplete pass. Okay, Now you're
Speaker 2: real lucky, right they went and complete. Even though you
Speaker 2: blew the timeout situation, you still have all three all three,
Speaker 2: and there's a minute twenty left. On third down, they
Speaker 2: throw the ball, they lose a yard. There is now
Speaker 2: a minute fifteen left. Cleveland is in fourth and ten
Speaker 2: to minute fifteen. If you call timeout, if you stop them,
Speaker 2: you're taking knees. The game is over. There is seventy
Speaker 2: five seconds left you can take You can take three
Speaker 2: knees and take off eighty seconds. Games over. They let
Speaker 2: the clock run down to thirty five seconds. Cleveland calls
Speaker 2: their next play touchdown. Now you have thirty two seconds
Speaker 2: and congrat you have all your timeouts. It's disastrous. Then
Speaker 2: to make it even worse, this is what you're talking about,
Speaker 2: thirty two seconds left after the touchback on first down,
Speaker 2: you throw it for one yard and just let the
Speaker 2: clock run. Just play for over. They're playing for overtime
Speaker 2: there instead of seeing a Brady and getting field goal range.
Speaker 2: Now that that Brady could have called those timeouts, that
Speaker 2: was brazy. But the real screw up was the previous
Speaker 2: the defensive possession, and then in overtime they screwed up
Speaker 2: the clock too. I don't want to spend more time
Speaker 2: on it. And as an added kicking the gut in overtime,
Speaker 2: Tristan Wurfs, your best offensive lineman on an offensive line
Speaker 2: that has been ravaged by injuries, gets carted off in
Speaker 2: what the broadcast described as a gruesome injury. Now I
Speaker 2: didn't see it. Hopefully he's okay, but he got carted
Speaker 2: off and they called it grooesome. That's not great. So
Speaker 2: I've said Tampa's like a sleeper NFC contender. I really
Speaker 2: at this point, Bowls was just deer in the headlights,
Speaker 2: so bad. Brady coming off the by didn't look that sharp.
Speaker 2: The brown stink. Yeah, the Browns stink. They scored an
Speaker 2: opening drive touchdown and then did nothing for fifty five
Speaker 2: minutes on offense, and you found a way to lose
Speaker 2: to him. That's a disastrous loss. And I'm not just
Speaker 2: angry exieted the Bucks minus three. That is a disastrous loss. Now,
Speaker 2: the pole says, well, the Bucks win the NFC South,
Speaker 2: and the poll questions, yes, seventy five percent. I agree
Speaker 2: with that, and they might even depending on who the
Speaker 2: first wild guard in the NFC is, win a playoff game. Still,
Speaker 2: but that offensive line, plus that coaching, I can't believe
Speaker 2: in him to go on a real run. All right,
Speaker 2: let's get to the main event. I can't believe we
Speaker 2: didn't start here.
Speaker 3: One of the wildest games of the year. The Prince
Speaker 3: that was promised pulled out a win versus the Ravens.
Speaker 3: Lawrence had three straight scoring drives and hit a two
Speaker 3: point conversion to win. All The Jags finally got a win,
Speaker 3: but are still only four and seven. Is this the
Speaker 3: best moment of Trevor's career? And if so, isn't that
Speaker 3: kind of sad?
Speaker 2: Okay, No, it's not sad. It's not kind of sad,
Speaker 2: and you guys are so rude. I think it's kind
Speaker 2: of It's not sad. To stop it. Okay, Trevor did
Speaker 2: not get a real rookie year in the NFL because
Speaker 2: of Urban Meyers. So this is his rookie season. Last
Speaker 2: year didn't happen. This is rookie season, and he was
Speaker 2: out there throwing darts.
Speaker 3: Didn't He almost lose the game yesterday, had a fumble.
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about that. Trevor was fantastic in this
Speaker 2: football game. You guys on the gambling show, you guys
Speaker 2: gave me some stupid Thanksgiving Day offer, which actually hit,
Speaker 2: by the way, I turned it down and said instead,
Speaker 2: I'll take Trevor Lawrence on the money line, winner, winner
Speaker 2: chicken dinner. So Trevor Lawrence the last three weeks win
Speaker 2: against Vegas one oh nine passer rating, one touchdown, no pick,
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty five yards. The next week he
Speaker 2: played the best team in football, the Chiefs. He lost.
Speaker 2: It happens still though. A one oh six passer rating,
Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty yards, two touchdowns, no picks. This
Speaker 2: week ends Baltimore three hundred and twenty yards passing a
Speaker 2: one thirty rating, three touchdowns, zero picks. Maybe an AFC
Speaker 2: Offensive Player of the Week award possibly, I'm thinking about
Speaker 2: that player of the week. What's so funny player of
Speaker 2: the week?
Speaker 3: Man player of the week.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a big deal, but in fact, you know
Speaker 2: what the well, yeah, they give it out weekly pass.
Speaker 2: Let me let me just see who else could even
Speaker 2: get it. Josh Allen's not getting it. No one on
Speaker 2: the Bills is getting it. The Patriots.
Speaker 3: That quarterback maje.
Speaker 2: Damn it, Mike White might get it. God dog it,
Speaker 2: Mike White might Oh you know what, No, Josh Jacob's
Speaker 2: gonna get it. The running back for the Raiders, he
Speaker 2: had no, no, no, damn it. Josh Jacob's gonna get it.
Speaker 2: That's right, runner up player of the week. How about
Speaker 2: that for my guy, Trevor.
Speaker 3: That's awesome and I'll win and the Yeah.
Speaker 2: Jack's not dead yet. I mean they they've got some
Speaker 2: work to do, but not dead yet. You guys, you
Speaker 2: guys mocked me. I told you he was gonna turn
Speaker 2: it around. They get the Lions this week. What what
Speaker 2: are you laughing about it?
Speaker 3: I mean, you're just making it seem like This is
Speaker 3: like a flawless victory. You didn't know until the end
Speaker 3: of the game that it was over. It was the Ravens.
Speaker 2: Ravens are really good. By the way, that's another two
Speaker 2: score lead blown by the Ravens. Did you see Lamar's tweet?
Speaker 3: No, I didn't. My friend told me about it as
Speaker 3: I was playing the game with him.
Speaker 2: He told a fan that you don't believe it wasn't
Speaker 2: right Lamar trying to get that. Man, You can't be
Speaker 2: tweeting these people eat all bleak. Not great, Lamar, You've
Speaker 2: been you got a really good image. This wasn't great. Also,
Speaker 2: you watched a lot of this game with me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Lamar is not the most reliable passer dude at all.
Speaker 2: I mean, whether it's you playing him in Madden, de
Speaker 2: Monte played me in Madden. He was Lamar. I got
Speaker 2: beat fifty to fourteen. Just kept sailing interceptions over people's heads.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Here's the So the Ravens all of a sudden, they're
Speaker 2: still favors to win the division. But seven and four,
Speaker 2: but Cincinnati beat Tennessee, the Ravens lose. Now the Ravens,
Speaker 2: what they have going for them is the schedule Broncos,
Speaker 2: Steelers Browns with the show them Back Falcon Steelers at
Speaker 2: the Bengals week eighteen. The Bengals, on the other hand,
Speaker 2: have a much more difficult schedule, including the game of
Speaker 2: the year next week at home against the Chiefs. The
Speaker 2: Bengals have Chiefs Browns at the Bucks at the Patriots
Speaker 2: home for the Bills home for the Ravens. So the
Speaker 2: Ravens should still win that division because the schedule strength
Speaker 2: is so different. But it's hard to believe in this
Speaker 2: Ravens team right now as a true championship contender. Now
Speaker 2: it is something that they've played eleven games. Were they
Speaker 2: ever up double digits in this game? I know they
Speaker 2: were up nine? Uh, I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 3: They were my paycheck on the raven Broncos game.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's not. Let's not put your paycheck on the
Speaker 2: Ravens Broncos game.
Speaker 3: I'm joking, but I'm putting I'm definitely putting money on
Speaker 3: that game.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well on the raven Well, real quick, let's just
Speaker 2: do it real quick. What do you think the line
Speaker 2: is Ravens at home against the Broncos.
Speaker 3: Oh, Ravens minus seven minus eight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ravens minus eight. They blow at risk. Yeah, that's
Speaker 2: the thing is they blow a lot of lee that
Speaker 2: they get the leads. And that's what's so weird about them.
Speaker 2: You would think that a team that is run, run, run,
Speaker 2: with a quarterback that doesn't really turn it over a
Speaker 2: ton if and historically, prior to this year, that's what
Speaker 2: they were like twenty four and three went up double
Speaker 2: digits with Lamar and now they've lost three times when
Speaker 2: up double digits and a fourth time win up nine points,
Speaker 2: but they lost a royalty. What do you want from promised?
Speaker 2: What you say the pony, the pony that was promised.
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means. But we can just move.
Speaker 3: On next after Sunday. Two of these four teams will
Speaker 3: make the playoffs, the Bengals, Jets, Patriots, and Chargers. The
Speaker 3: Chargers risky coaching finally paid off with the crazy win
Speaker 3: over Arizona. The Jets have a new identity under Mike
Speaker 3: White and crushed Chicago and since he beat Tennessee without
Speaker 3: mixing or Chase, New England is and going away. But
Speaker 3: they did lose to Minneapolis on Thanksgiving Day. Minnesota, But
Speaker 3: go ahead, minute, I always say Minieanapolis, Minnesota Bootball.
Speaker 2: What'd you say?
Speaker 3: No, no, but I don't know why I get them
Speaker 3: mixed up with the Colts Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Indianapolis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, Minis.
Speaker 3: Yeah. If you if you had to bet, if you
Speaker 3: had to bet on two of those teams to make
Speaker 3: the playoffs, who are you picking? All? Right?
Speaker 2: Before I even answer that, I want to say something
Speaker 2: about you mentioned the Chargers, risky coaching Penguins And if
Speaker 2: you guys remember my analytics rant from about a month
Speaker 2: ago that where I said analytics needs a rebranding, and
Speaker 2: another thing I said was what I think is total
Speaker 2: bs is we only talk about these aggressive decisions when
Speaker 2: they go poorly. You had two teams yesterday go for
Speaker 2: two at the end of games to win them the
Speaker 2: prince that was promised in the Jags and the Chargers
Speaker 2: over the Cardinals. They both worked and like clockwork. And
Speaker 2: by the way, that is not even a clear analytics move.
Speaker 2: Most analytics models usually have those decisions as close to
Speaker 2: coin flips. It's more a coach gut decision. But as
Speaker 2: always happens, amazingly, the biggest critics of analytics, they didn't
Speaker 2: mind those decisions. You know, I listen and I don't
Speaker 2: name check him on social media on this because he's
Speaker 2: a friendly of mine. He's good friends with Kevin Wilds,
Speaker 2: and I like and respect him a lot. But I
Speaker 2: was listening to Bill Simmons this morning, and like clockwork,
Speaker 2: Bill who has criticized these coaches for being aggressive all year, says,
Speaker 2: without a touch of irony, you know both those two
Speaker 2: point conversions. I actually agreed with. Oh, you don't say
Speaker 2: because they worked. Everybody loves them when they work. When
Speaker 2: teams are aggressive and it works, people have no problem
Speaker 2: with it. When they don't, they want to do a
Speaker 2: purging of the nerds and blame analytics. Okay, now to
Speaker 2: this question. So New England's you said, New England's not
Speaker 2: gonna go away. New England's going away, New England's cooked.
Speaker 3: Minnesota is a good team, man.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know that they are, but I mean
Speaker 2: they're a good team. I don't know that they're an
Speaker 2: excellent team. What sucks for the Patriots in that game
Speaker 2: is Mac Jones played the best game is life and
Speaker 2: they lost. Like their offense to everything, their defense could
Speaker 2: do nothing. Here's the problem for the Patriots. They have
Speaker 2: six games remaining. Four of them demons are against the Bills, Dolphins, Bengals,
Speaker 2: two against the Bills, home against the Bengals, home against
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. That's brutal. The now, road games against the
Speaker 2: Cardinals and Raiders, let's give them those wins. Okay, road
Speaker 2: wins against the Cardinals and Raiders. That only gets you
Speaker 2: the eight wins.
Speaker 3: Even if you go.
Speaker 2: One in three against Bills, Bills, Dolphins, Bengals. Now you're
Speaker 2: only at nine wins. Right. Can you go four and
Speaker 2: two down the stretch, which would mean two and two
Speaker 2: you split with the Bills and then you also split
Speaker 2: Bengals Dolphins. I don't think so.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 2: I think the Patriots are the easiest ones to eliminate that.
Speaker 2: The Jets are interesting because the Jets, now that they
Speaker 2: have semi competent quarterback play, that defense is so good
Speaker 2: that you want to believe in them. I gotta look
Speaker 2: at what the Jets have the rest of the way.
Speaker 3: They also just beat up on a dogwater team.
Speaker 2: No, that's true. At the Vikings, at the Bills, that's
Speaker 2: tough for the Jets. Then home Lions, home Jags at
Speaker 2: the Seahawks, at the Dolphins, and then the Charger. Listen,
Speaker 2: the Bengals are making the playoffs, so to me, the
Speaker 2: Bengals are. They have a tough schedule. I would be
Speaker 2: shocked if they don't make it. So let's let's pencil
Speaker 2: the Bengals in. Okay, that leaves one spot remaining. The
Speaker 2: Chargers have an incredibly soft schedule and that was a
Speaker 2: massive win for them, but they are a game behind
Speaker 2: the Jets and the standings. The Chargers have Raiders, Dolphins, Titans.
Speaker 2: Those are tough, but they're both at home. Then Colts
Speaker 2: rams Broncos. So do Dolphins Titans? Is hard? No, no, no,
Speaker 2: But the Colts rams Broncos to end the year is
Speaker 2: nice for them. That's really nice for them. They already
Speaker 2: got their Chiefs games out of the way. Right now.
Speaker 2: I would say Bengals Jets are the two playoff teams,
Speaker 2: with the Chargers the last team out the Patriots fading
Speaker 2: down the stretch. But I don't know why you guys
Speaker 2: are ignoring the possibility, the possibility, hey man, that the
Speaker 2: Jags going to run. Listen, can I just paint the
Speaker 2: picture for you? Let me paint the picture for you. Okay,
Speaker 2: the Jags go to Detroit and win. They then upset
Speaker 2: the Titans in Tennessee. That would be a big one.
Speaker 2: They then beat Dallas at home, tough go to the
Speaker 2: Jets could do it at the Texans Eazy Week eighteen
Speaker 2: Titans home. Titans already clinched the AFC South, already locked
Speaker 2: in to their seed. Maybe they rest people. I'm just
Speaker 2: saying it's not outside of the realm of possibilities that
Speaker 2: the Jags in the ear on a seven game winning
Speaker 2: It's possible. I don't know why you're laughing.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're saying it's possible to the Prince of
Speaker 3: that was promised ends up with a seven game. When
Speaker 3: I was hyping up the other.
Speaker 2: Day the way these won seven games of his career day,
Speaker 2: I was, yeah, you were wrong about Daniel Jones. Dann
Speaker 2: Jones stinks. He stinks, buddy, dude, Let's see about this.
Speaker 3: Let's see about this seven You know what.
Speaker 2: Let me. I'm just saying I don't think they we
Speaker 2: should eliminate them entirely. All right, again, there is our
Speaker 2: one hundredth show. We will take in the chat your

Speaker 2: to add more to it. All right, we'll discuss more
Speaker 2: letter next week.

Speaker 3: Game, thirty three and twelve.
Speaker 2: Actually, he's coached forty five games against dude's named Mike Tomlin, Grable,
Speaker 2: Mike Smith, Mike Malarkey. Well, so it doesn't change my opinion.
Speaker 3: Defend your client, Draymond Green.
Speaker 2: Our defense is not that my client did not do it.
Speaker 2: Our defense is that you would have done it as well.
Speaker 2: There's two franchise tags. Let me just explain this very
Speaker 2: quickly enough. Franchise that salary right now, he looks like
Speaker 2: the league MVP.
Speaker 3: So that is the So you're saying it was dumb.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's your best live analogy ever.
Speaker 3: Really good.
Speaker 2: That's like a really smart point. You made demand and
Speaker 2: I have the same backpack.
Speaker 3: You probably shouldn't go.
Speaker 2: This guy's just out here chilling with a little little
Speaker 2: Let mean, look at this, Oh gas station, hit a
Speaker 2: sea bottle?
Speaker 3: Prove it as how much thigh will you continue to
Speaker 3: let demonte get away?
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, It's a new generation. They're the
Speaker 2: short short generation.
Speaker 3: I'm built different.
Speaker 2: You're not only development growth and maturity on the air
Speaker 2: is has been exponential. It's really been a total joy
Speaker 2: for me. And I'm proud of you and I love you,
Speaker 2: and it's been it's been just great to be a
Speaker 2: part of it.
Speaker 3: I really appreciate that, Pops.
Speaker 2: Oh, that was well done. I'll just make sure we
Speaker 2: tweet that out. That full compilation. That was really good. Also,
Speaker 2: it does show a significant upgrade for us quality wise
Speaker 2: in our studio. Yeah, our camera quality and our studio
Speaker 2: quality and the whole thing.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: Uh that by the way, keep commenting, your guys. Favorite
Speaker 2: moments were questions you have. We'll get to those at
Speaker 2: the end of today's show in the next segment. But first,
Speaker 2: before we get to our game, Nick Wright, public defender,
Speaker 2: what do we have to do? Oh it's the World Cup, Yo,
Speaker 2: give me the graphic. Oh look the old fiefa forecast.
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 3: Oh? Nothing? I love the graphic.
Speaker 2: No, go ahead, no, no, I was saying, what's up ahead?
Speaker 3: Yeah, A lot has happened since we last talked. SoC Yeah,
Speaker 3: Argentina dropped their first game in a huge upset. Germany
Speaker 3: got knocked out, almost almost got knocked out. Sorry about that, guys'
Speaker 3: frit no problem. France is the only country with two
Speaker 3: wins so far. The US has ended both their matches
Speaker 3: in a draw, and the US faces Iran tomorrow in
Speaker 3: a win. And in scenario, how much FIFA have you
Speaker 3: played over the past few weeks and how much will
Speaker 3: that help the US make it to the group stage.
Speaker 2: I haven't played that much FIFA over the last few weeks.
Speaker 2: I've played some. I've played some. So we will discuss
Speaker 2: the US's spot and my concern, and then we will
Speaker 2: discuss the tournament as a whole. My concern is that
Speaker 2: Iran goes into tomorrow's game knowing that as long as
Speaker 2: Wales doesn't beat England, which would be very shocking if
Speaker 2: they did, Iran simply needs a draw to advance. So
Speaker 2: the US has to beat Iran. Iran needs to either
Speaker 2: win or draw. That is always a tough spot to
Speaker 2: be in if the other team is gonna play uber conservative,
Speaker 2: not really take a lot of chances to go build
Speaker 2: a lead because they're gonna say nil nil. Draw is
Speaker 2: fine with us, and it also means and nil nil's tough, right,
Speaker 2: It's tough to hold a team scoreless the whole game,
Speaker 2: but it certainly means that if Iran were to get
Speaker 2: up one nothing, the United States is I don't want
Speaker 2: to say screwed.
Speaker 3: But in brutal, brutal.
Speaker 2: Shape, because it would mean that Iran then absolutely can
Speaker 2: play uber conservative and even if they concede a goal
Speaker 2: be okay. So this is why the United States they
Speaker 2: played well to win both of their That's not true. Wales,
Speaker 2: they played well enough to win in the first half,
Speaker 2: they played poorly in the second half. England they played
Speaker 2: well enough to win, but they can't make any shots.
Speaker 2: They can't even get quality shots. They can't put shots
Speaker 2: on goal at a high enough rate. They played better
Speaker 2: than England in that game, and they were almost lucky
Speaker 2: to get a draw because England had far fewer scoring chances,
Speaker 2: but they were better scoring chances than the US had.
Speaker 2: I believe the US will beatle Ron and I think
Speaker 2: they'll advance. But that's not the only soccer I want
Speaker 2: to talk here. I just want to go day by
Speaker 2: day and just give you my quick thoughts on the tournament,
Speaker 2: because we haven't done that yet. So the first day,
Speaker 2: the big note of the big matchup note was obviously
Speaker 2: US Wales, and they got the draw. The good first half,
Speaker 2: bad second half. Day two, I guess this is technically
Speaker 2: day three, because Day one was guitar were in the
Speaker 2: opener our Argentina losing to Saudi Arabia was one of
Speaker 2: the most shocking events in any World Cup. It's the
Speaker 2: biggest upset since nineteen fifty in any World Cup. Argentina
Speaker 2: then got it back together. More on them in a
Speaker 2: moment later that day. A week ago tomorrow, six days ago,
Speaker 2: France fell down one nothing to Australia and then came
Speaker 2: storming back to the tune of winning four to one.
Speaker 2: They have looked like the best side in this entire
Speaker 2: tournament so far. It's why they're the only team that's
Speaker 2: already locked up a spot in the knockout round. The
Speaker 2: very next day, Japan shocked Germany to to one. That
Speaker 2: was a game where it's one it's for It's one
Speaker 2: thing for there to be a shocking upset, it's another
Speaker 2: thing for it to be a shocking come from behind upset.
Speaker 2: Germany was up won nothing in the seventy fifth minute
Speaker 2: and Japan got two goals late which put them obviously
Speaker 2: in great position. They win the game, and then Spain
Speaker 2: annihilated Costa Rica. It was embarrassing for Costa Rica. Costa
Speaker 2: Rica and redeemed themselves more on them in a moment,
Speaker 2: and then Belgium beat Canada. More on Belgium in a
Speaker 2: moment as well. Portugal. Ghana played a great game. Ghana's
Speaker 2: played two great games. They played an unbelievable game earlier today.
Speaker 2: Both the games they've been great. Brazil then kicked off
Speaker 2: their tournament. They beat Serbia easily. Then there was the
Speaker 2: US England nil nil draw. Nothing super of note the
Speaker 2: rest of that day for our purposes, France beat Denmark
Speaker 2: and put Denmark in position where they're screwed. Here Denmark,
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say screwed, but Denmark, who was a team
Speaker 2: that I think a lot of people thought was gonna
Speaker 2: have a real chance to do some type of damage
Speaker 2: in this tournament. Denmark, let me check their odds right
Speaker 2: now to advance, because France obviously is already already advanced
Speaker 2: Denmark right now, they they are minus one ninety to advance,
Speaker 2: so they are if they win their final match, their advance.
Speaker 2: I don't think they've played well thus far in this tournament,
Speaker 2: but just my take. And then Costa Rica yesterday redeems
Speaker 2: itself by beating Japan after losing seven to nothing. You
Speaker 2: know what I was saying my apologies for what I
Speaker 2: was saying about Denmark. When I was saying Denmark hadn't
Speaker 2: played that well, the point I was actually trying to
Speaker 2: make was Belgium. I guess it applies to both of them.
Speaker 2: Belgium is the team though that was one of the
Speaker 2: favorites and now is an underdog to advance. Denmark still
Speaker 2: should advance minus one ninety. Belgium, on the other hand,
Speaker 2: because of a two to zero loss to Morocco, is
Speaker 2: significant underdog to advance. It looks like it's gonna be
Speaker 2: Morocco and Croatia moving on, which is shocking. And then
Speaker 2: Brazil Switzerland is going on right now. But earlier today
Speaker 2: you had two unbelievable matches. You had Cameroon play Serbia.
Speaker 2: Cameroon went up one nill to start the game. Serbia
Speaker 2: then scored three consecutive goals, two in stoppage time in
Speaker 2: the first half, one early in the second half, and
Speaker 2: then Cameroon came back with two goals of their own
Speaker 2: to get a draw out of it. And then Ghana
Speaker 2: South Korea was probably the match of the tournament so far,
Speaker 2: where you add, pardon me, Ghana goes up one nothing
Speaker 2: and goes up to nothing. Then Joe from South Korea
Speaker 2: has back to back quick goals to get the tie,
Speaker 2: and then Ghana comes back again to take the lead.
Speaker 2: So that game went two o Gana two to two
Speaker 2: to three to two Ghana. It's so thus far, oh
Speaker 2: and I left out the Spain Germany game, So this
Speaker 2: is what's wild, and then we'll move on to the
Speaker 2: to public defender we were in. Germany was one of
Speaker 2: the five or six biggest favorites to win this whole tournament.
Speaker 2: Germany loses a shocking match in their first game to Japan.
Speaker 2: They then are playing Spain, who looked amazing as first
Speaker 2: game seven nothing. Obviously they're trailing. Spain won nothing in
Speaker 2: the eightieth minute. If they lose, they're done, just done,
Speaker 2: tournament over. They get a late goal to steal a
Speaker 2: draw and now they are minus four thirty to advance
Speaker 2: just because they have a draw. Because what they have
Speaker 2: now for they get Costa Rica. If they beat Costa Rica,
Speaker 2: they move on. So an amazing turnabout for Germany from
Speaker 2: one of the big favorites to looking like they're gonna
Speaker 2: be one of the first teams eliminated. Canada was the
Speaker 2: first team eliminated. I think or a cutter probably was
Speaker 2: Canado's second team, and now Germany looks like they're gonna
Speaker 2: be fine and moving on in advancing game. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: now Demanse can start paying attention again.
Speaker 3: I've paid it since the entire time. I actually I
Speaker 3: know what happened in each one of the games.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, my apologies. I don't mean.
Speaker 3: Man, I just had to correct you.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, we just had to correct me.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: Demand is now being very serious and professional while putting
Speaker 2: on a wig. All right, well, it looks like it's
Speaker 2: signed for Nick Wright public defender.
Speaker 3: Yep, no time it is. Yeah, all right, So Zach
Speaker 3: Jets quarterback Zach Wilson got benched and Mike White looked unbelievable.
Speaker 3: In the last two years. Without Wilson, the Jets lead
Speaker 3: the league in passing yards per game. With him, they're
Speaker 3: thirty first in the league. Everyone has been quick to
Speaker 3: powle on Wilson, which is why you need to defend him.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna be very simple here with my defense
Speaker 2: of my client, Zach Wilson. And again for people new
Speaker 2: to the show, these are not my real opinions. As
Speaker 2: any good lawyer, I'm defending my client with vigor and enthusiasm,
Speaker 2: whether I believe he's innocent or guilty. Okay, I'm just curious,
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Do you think that
Speaker 2: multiple regimes, multiple head coaches, multiple front offices with the
Speaker 2: New York Jets have all just gotten top five picks
Speaker 2: wrong in Mark Sanchez, Sam Donald, and Zach Wilson, that
Speaker 2: they just drafted bad players, different schools, different careers, bad players.
Speaker 2: Or is there something about the New York Jets franchise
Speaker 2: that destin's marquee top picks to fail? Was my client,
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson destined to fail the moment the Jets called
Speaker 2: his name, the same way Sam Donald was, the same
Speaker 2: way Mark Sanchez was, the same way Geno Smith was
Speaker 2: until he got out of there for Gin. It took
Speaker 2: him damn near a decade to get the Jets stinch
Speaker 2: off him, but he finally did. Mark Sanchez never got
Speaker 2: that opportunity Sam Donald. We shall see in Carolina how
Speaker 2: he does. But I did see my client, my former client,
Speaker 2: Sam Donald, all of a sudden look a little frisky
Speaker 2: outside of the Jets. The hell now you might say, well,
Speaker 2: why can Mike White succeed there? This does not apply
Speaker 2: to all quarterbacks. Jeed Pennington was fine. This applies to
Speaker 2: guys who the media signs is the savior, the future
Speaker 2: of the franchise. They get thrown into the cauldron a
Speaker 2: little too early, when they're a little raw, and then
Speaker 2: they get eaten a love.
Speaker 3: So how do we explain Mike White your owner?
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I just said. You might Mike White
Speaker 2: is the Cinderella story backup, none of the pressure, none
Speaker 2: of the scrutiny. And by the way, if you remember,
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen of the jury, what happened to Mike
Speaker 2: White the last time he got this opportunity. Mike White
Speaker 2: was nobody. He comes in for a game, and what
Speaker 2: does he do? He throws for four hundred yards and
Speaker 2: three touchdowns in a victory, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: there's excitement, there's enthusiasm. He gets a taste of what
Speaker 2: my client, Zach Wilson has had to deal with. Excuse me,
Speaker 2: and how did he do well? In his next two
Speaker 2: games one touchdown and four interceptions, including a game against
Speaker 2: Buffalo with a thirty three rating. It was almost like
Speaker 2: the moment Jet fans start having hope about a quarterback,
Speaker 2: there generations of terrible quarterback karma ruin him. That's what's
Speaker 2: happened to Zack Wilson. I rest my case all right.
Speaker 2: By the way, Zach Wilson stinks, Yeah, I mean he stinks.
Speaker 2: I'm not actually defending Zach.
Speaker 3: Now, these are all fun indefensible defense. Okay. The Broncos
Speaker 3: hit a new low losing to Sam Donald's Panthers. Russell
Speaker 3: Wilson has eight touchdowns in ten games, and his own
Speaker 3: teammate Mike Purcell gave him an earful on the sideline.
Speaker 3: Everyone is saying he's cooked, including TV analyst Nick Wright.
Speaker 3: Counselor defend your client, Russell Wilson. I hate that guy.
Speaker 3: But ordering the court though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, your Honor, you need to recuse yourself. You can't
Speaker 2: be saying you hate I don't hate him.
Speaker 3: I strongly dislike him.
Speaker 2: You can't be saying you hate my client. Please let
Speaker 2: the record reflect that your Honor has shown his own
Speaker 2: biases and is not going to be able to be
Speaker 2: an impartial arbiter of the truth here. If in fact,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm not, I I don't need to
Speaker 2: defend Russell Wilson. I move for a mistrial. Please, we
Speaker 2: need we we need, we need fair and impartial analysts.
Speaker 2: We heard your honor from the bench. It was caught
Speaker 2: on a live microphone say I hate this guy. I
Speaker 2: moved for a mistrial with prejudice, your honor. I apologize, sir,
Speaker 2: but you have befouled the court and embarrassed yourself. You
Speaker 2: do not deserve to wear the robes of justice any longer.
Speaker 2: Let's move Let's just move on. Let's just move on.
Speaker 3: All right, no defense, Let's don't need one. Jaguars mascot
Speaker 3: Jacksonville showed up to the game versus the Ravens and
Speaker 3: only a speedo. Come on, man, there's kids watching the game. Counselor,
Speaker 3: your client is sleep.
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't see this.
Speaker 3: Yeah I saw that, but I just didn't. I thought
Speaker 3: the whole yellow thing was a suit. So wait, he's
Speaker 3: not wearing That's that's crazy.
Speaker 2: Hold on a second, I mean.
Speaker 3: I think he should be tested.
Speaker 2: Tested for what what do you mean for substances? Oh?
Speaker 2: You think he was high? I mean, yeah, hold on,
Speaker 2: I gotta admit, but I prepped for this show quite well.
Speaker 2: I was I was not prepped on the Jackson Deville controversy.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to read more about it. Okay. On
Speaker 2: the sideline, scantily clad Jacksonville causes social media start during game.
Speaker 2: This is from news for jacks uh, after the thunderstorms
Speaker 2: passed through his unseasonably warm Sunday at Tia bank Field.
Speaker 2: A little too warm for Jaguars mascot Jackson Deville, the
Speaker 2: mascot known for pushing the boundaries, show multiple times on
Speaker 2: the broadcast, wearing nothing but his mascot head with a
Speaker 2: slimmer version of his mascot suit along with a tiny
Speaker 2: pair of American flag swimming briefs. Jackson's a really became
Speaker 2: fodder for Twitter users.
Speaker 3: So I totally wasn't thinking about the fact that that's Florida.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's I hold on, is he I need
Speaker 2: to know? Is he still wearing a suit?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Man, it says he is. I do we have By
Speaker 2: the second half he put his full suit back on.
Speaker 2: All right, this is not my best showing on Nick
Speaker 2: Wright Public Defender. Luckily you got me out of having
Speaker 2: to defend Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3: Think he might actually be an actual Jaguars.
Speaker 2: I read this question, and I assumed he was wearing
Speaker 2: a speedo over the mascot costumes, and I thought it
Speaker 2: was so dumb that people were upset about it. I'm
Speaker 2: now seeing this and I've got to say I agree
Speaker 2: with the people who are angry. I don't want to
Speaker 2: sound like a Puritan, but this is inappropriate. Like, I
Speaker 2: can't defend it. I didn't know this happened.
Speaker 3: That's funny. I saw that during the game, but like I,
Speaker 3: I just didn't think it was listened.
Speaker 2: Being around you know, the prince that was promised can
Speaker 2: lead into any of us to do crazy things. But this,
Speaker 2: you know what there it is. I'm back your honor.
Speaker 2: I played temporary insanity. My client, Jackson Deville, has spent
Speaker 2: years now around Trevor Lawrence, and he saw the breakout
Speaker 2: game coming and he was so excited and enthusiastic. He
Speaker 2: simply was in a rush after the rain delay to
Speaker 2: get back to the field and he was who can
Speaker 2: blame him for not one to miss a single throw
Speaker 2: from the Prince that was promised. He rushed to the
Speaker 2: field and then realized, oh no, I took my suit
Speaker 2: off because it got covered in rain. It was all
Speaker 2: wet and it was drying. And now I'm out here
Speaker 2: and I don't have a suit, but if I go back,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna miss a couple possessions. So my client did
Speaker 2: what any true fan would do, stayed there, watched the
Speaker 2: prince that was promised, and then at halftime when the
Speaker 2: game wasn't going on, got fully closed. He just couldn't.
Speaker 2: He's too big of a fan, and you know what,
Speaker 2: you want your biggest fan to be your mascot. I
Speaker 2: feel like he was only doing his job, all right,
Speaker 2: last one?
Speaker 3: All right? Do you ever put on a hat and
Speaker 3: it's a bit too tight? Brian Robinson doesn't. After the
Speaker 3: Commanders win, Washington's rookie rocked his hat in the locker room. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and so defend your client in his hat okay and
Speaker 3: his friend's hat business, which I think is pretty cool. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So it's very simple. Uh, do you value loyalty and
Speaker 2: friendship or do you not?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Brian Robin sick. Brian Robinson clearly, Uh has a friend,
Speaker 2: good friend that said starting a business and could use
Speaker 2: some help. And he said, I got your buddy. You
Speaker 2: guys like it's a hat business. He said, no, prim
Speaker 2: wear hats all the time, He's like, I gotta tell
Speaker 2: you it's a big hat business like, Okay, how big
Speaker 2: can it be? And the answer is pretty big? But
Speaker 2: use a man of his word, Dude, you'd wear that?
Speaker 2: Can we get those? Do we have do we have
Speaker 2: the budget?
Speaker 3: Answer?
Speaker 2: Do we have the budget to get? Uh? Look at
Speaker 2: the look? I like that? Can we get me a
Speaker 2: Chief's big hat? What do you want? Jags for Prince?
Speaker 2: That was promised?
Speaker 3: If they don't want a Jags big hat, who would
Speaker 3: you want?
Speaker 2: Ravens?
Speaker 3: No, Chiefs? Probably the Vikings, the Vikings.
Speaker 2: You're a Vikings fan?
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I just know honestly, like, the Chiefs are
Speaker 3: my favorite team. But the Vikings have not lost me
Speaker 3: a bet. Yeah, I've been keeping track of that throughout
Speaker 3: the season. And I also like their Okay, I don't
Speaker 3: like the reading. The reading yellow was cool. How about
Speaker 3: a Celtics one? Oh yeah, you know, all right.
Speaker 2: Blue Duck folks, let's do that episode one hundred bonus
Speaker 2: for me and Demon's I want the big hat. I
Speaker 2: want the big hat Chiefs. He canna have the big
Speaker 2: hat Celtics. I'll wear it. I'll wear it on the
Speaker 2: TV show, wear it on the podcast.
Speaker 3: Wear it to pianos.
Speaker 2: Okay, oh god, you would too.
Speaker 3: I would.
Speaker 2: That's all right, So why does my client even need
Speaker 2: defending those after dope? He's a good friend. We answer
Speaker 2: your questions and talk about your favorite moments the first
Speaker 2: hundred episodes. Next, What's right? We're in the uber and
Speaker 2: a lul Wayne song comes on. Because I'd had a
Speaker 2: few cocktails, I'm like, you know what, I'm a FaceTime Wayne,
Speaker 2: and I called you, and as soon as ring, I
Speaker 2: was like, and I hung up, and you called me right.
Speaker 3: Back back, right back. Before a Slovenian basketball game, Luca
Speaker 3: donci is reportedly drinking soda and smoking a cigarette. Good
Speaker 3: pregame routine or the best pregame routine.
Speaker 2: SODA's toxic soda is no good for you. Let's put
Speaker 2: healthier things into our body than cola.
Speaker 3: Wait, are we being serious right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course I'm being serious. Put Patrick Mahomes on
Speaker 2: the field against the best defense in the league. You
Speaker 2: know what, He turns into a slightly better version of
Speaker 2: Joe Montana. Pretty bleeping good. I have heard from a
Speaker 2: lot of people, Nick, you are wrong about Russell Wilson.
Speaker 2: I am here to tell those people they were correct,
Speaker 2: I was way too high on him. All I'm saying
Speaker 2: is I told you so. Someone tweeted to Durant, did
Speaker 2: you see nick Wright's Club Superstar segment? He had a
Speaker 2: funny line about Kyrie, and Durant responded and said, I
Speaker 2: didn't see it, but I'm sure it was trash. Anyone
Speaker 2: can do Nicky's job.
Speaker 3: The question is, why do you think Haiti is singling
Speaker 3: you out like that on Twitter?
Speaker 2: Does Katie hate me.
Speaker 3: Or really like him?
Speaker 2: You know, the only common ground they have hating me.
Speaker 2: That's the only words in Celtics fans have in common, like, Hey,
Speaker 2: he's a jackass, isn't he? Like? Yeah, we agree on
Speaker 2: that sucks.
Speaker 3: You know you're saying what cause your mouth? You just
Speaker 3: talked too much too fast.
Speaker 2: The third greatest player of the last fifty years one
Speaker 2: Michael Jeffrey Jordan, Kareem Abdul Jabbar. The single greatest player is,
Speaker 2: of course, Lebron James. Check your Bengo card. It's Lebron.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: I don't even make single game parlays typically forty to one,
Speaker 2: because Kelsey does. At the end, Oh where in there?
Speaker 3: Joey chest That is one of fourteen of the last
Speaker 3: fifteen Some say that he's the greatest athlete of all time.
Speaker 2: Defendant, one could argue Ussein Balt, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan.
Speaker 2: None of them could have survived, let alone thrived without
Speaker 2: the one skill my client has mastered, which is Eden.
Speaker 2: Can I tell the story of when we first met? Okay,
Speaker 2: do you remember?
Speaker 3: Cool?
Speaker 2: Now to the prince that was promised Trevor Lawrence. I'm
Speaker 2: done betting on the Jags for at least a month.
Speaker 3: I still want to believe in Trevor. Oh my goodness, I.
Speaker 2: Get an alert about a tweet. Why isn't get Nick
Speaker 2: right in the newest Star Wars? People believe that that
Speaker 2: is supposed to be me because it is me? So
Speaker 2: that's what Dana, What are you pointing at? Zero? Zero?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 2: Zero? The time? Zero? You and I went too long? Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, we'll be right back. That was great. I
Speaker 2: really enjoyed.
Speaker 3: That was amazing.
Speaker 2: We're wearing our one hundred episodes glasses. Let's put that
Speaker 2: on Twitter as well. So we've had everyone on the
Speaker 2: show except for your sister. Yeah, or I was just yes,
Speaker 2: I mean, you've had one of your sisters on the show.
Speaker 2: Diana Diora, though, is going to do the show one
Speaker 2: of the shows during the alert to you, one of
Speaker 2: the shows during December. You're gonna be off door is
Speaker 2: gonna do it during her winter break. Okay, just not
Speaker 2: trying to bump you off a show, because is going
Speaker 2: to do it. I tried to tell her she's appined
Speaker 2: all these colleges, this would be a cool thing to
Speaker 2: be able to add to the old resume.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and she wouldn't do it, And.
Speaker 2: Now she's finally agreed to do Itry So is our
Speaker 2: one hundredth episode. So we have some listener and viewer
Speaker 2: questions or comments demands. You want to go through them.
Speaker 3: Cook said, number one moment when he had his daughter
Speaker 3: on Deanna was great. She did a really really good job.
Speaker 3: Angle the microphone a little more towards your mouth.
Speaker 2: She did a really really good job. And she'll be
Speaker 2: on again. She's been asking me to come on again.
Speaker 2: She'll be on again. All right, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Jordan Thompson and many others said Demondsey's dinosaur ran right.
Speaker 2: Demonse didn't like that one. Demanse was very mad that
Speaker 2: that that went out there because Demanse was joking and
Speaker 2: he was mad people took his total joke seriously, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're playing a character. I get it, but you hadn't.
Speaker 2: Is what I always tell young broadcasters. Young broadcasters to
Speaker 2: ask me, like what should I do? What should I
Speaker 2: I'm like, listen, just get reps, start a podcast, so
Speaker 2: YouTube channel, get reps. And they're like, but ah, but
Speaker 2: nobody's watching. It's like, that's really good. You don't want
Speaker 2: people watching or listening in the beginning because you want
Speaker 2: to figure out who you're going to be. You're gonna
Speaker 2: be yourself, but what version of yourself? And it is important.
Speaker 2: Like Demanse at that point was like, am I just
Speaker 2: gonna do? I just wanna just be the wacky sidekick,
Speaker 2: funny guy, and then realize shortly thereafter, no god dogging.
Speaker 2: I want to be taken seriously. I'm a man of
Speaker 2: opinions and takes, and I can't have it out there
Speaker 2: that people thought I thought Jesus rode dinosaurs or whatever
Speaker 2: the hell you said. And so he's like, damn it,
Speaker 2: that's now out there for the whole world. It'll always
Speaker 2: be used against me. All right, next, none of you said.
Speaker 3: My favorite part of the podcast is the dynamic between
Speaker 3: the both of you. I'm going through the process of
Speaker 3: adopting my son, and it feels like I'm looking at
Speaker 3: it a head to a future where I roast my
Speaker 3: grown son.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, that's very interesting because the dynamic between
Speaker 2: us is great. And you know, listen, the podcast is
Speaker 2: gonna go through some changes post football because Demons's moving
Speaker 2: to Los Angeles, so we're gonna figure out, you know,
Speaker 2: how that's gonna work, what we're gonna do. But the
Speaker 2: dynamic here is really fun and outstanding, and we've gotten
Speaker 2: through one hundred of these episodes without it ever really
Speaker 2: causing a real problem in our relationship. We've had a
Speaker 2: few tough moments, but nothing no like big blow ups,
Speaker 2: nothing substantial. But Demonsey and I are also to like
Speaker 2: I would I think the best part. I think this
Speaker 2: is the best our relationship's ever been because it always so.
Speaker 2: When I've been with Danielle for fifteen years, so when
Speaker 2: DEMONSI was like nine ten years old, is when I
Speaker 2: first came around. So in the very beginning, obviously, you know,
Speaker 2: Demonzi had understood skepticism about me, and you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, what I was going to be about, and
Speaker 2: then and then I think the skepticism went away, but
Speaker 2: we didn't have the long history of you know, I
Speaker 2: wasn't there for your little kid years. We didn't have
Speaker 2: the long well of memories to draw upon. And then
Speaker 2: he and I got real close when he started really
Speaker 2: ascending in basketball and I got really involved in that.
Speaker 2: But right as we were getting real close through that,
Speaker 2: I then moved to LA and was going back and
Speaker 2: forth your senior year, and then when you moved to California,
Speaker 2: when we all moved to New York. So then we
Speaker 2: were kind of a part for a few years. And
Speaker 2: then when we came back together was the time that
Speaker 2: everybody goes through where they must like kind of rebel
Speaker 2: against one of their parents. And so Demond's didn't really
Speaker 2: like was totally understandably. I did the same thing, like
Speaker 2: kind of in a man, I don't want to I
Speaker 2: don't want to live the life you you want me
Speaker 2: to live. I want to live a life I want
Speaker 2: to live. So you and I were in kind of
Speaker 2: a tough spot because you were figuring out who you were,
Speaker 2: what you wanted to do. I, having the advantage of
Speaker 2: having made all the mistakes, was trying to prevent you
Speaker 2: from making the same mistakes I made. But that's always
Speaker 2: a that never works in parenting. Man, you just got
Speaker 2: to let your kid make the mistakes because it's the
Speaker 2: only way they like learn from them. Like you can
Speaker 2: tell them this is going to happen, but all of
Speaker 2: us when we are on the receiving end, and I'm like, man,
Speaker 2: this because that happened you doesn't mean it's gonna happen
Speaker 2: to me. And then once it does happen or something similar,
Speaker 2: it's like, oh, I guess they were right. And then
Speaker 2: once you went through that and did that and left
Speaker 2: on your own and then came back and then we
Speaker 2: started doing this together, it was kind of we now
Speaker 2: have fifteen years of time and memories together. Plus you're
Speaker 2: not that like you're you always have to listen to
Speaker 2: me or whatever, but you have kind of more of
Speaker 2: a thought process of My track record on be careful
Speaker 2: of X, Y and Z is pretty good. And I
Speaker 2: also stay out of your business more because you're more grown.
Speaker 2: So like it's a it's a you know, John Lopez
Speaker 2: was my old radio partner in Houston, told me when
Speaker 2: Deanna was being born, because you know, I was around
Speaker 2: when your sister was two turning three, but I had
Speaker 2: never been around a baby. Uh. And John, who had
Speaker 2: regrown kids, said, every age is the best age, and
Speaker 2: I said, what do you mean. He's like, every age
Speaker 2: is the best age. He's like, it's the best when
Speaker 2: they're babies, and then it's the best when they're toddlers,
Speaker 2: he's like, and then it's it's for different reasons. He's like,
Speaker 2: and it's the best when they're grown too, because you
Speaker 2: can have a totally new relationship. And that's that's how
Speaker 2: I feel. So I think I'm glad you asked that, Nanya,
Speaker 2: and I am glad I was able to Oh. Yeah, Oh,
Speaker 2: I appreciate that all right.
Speaker 3: Next, Mark Pisa said, favorite moment was love. Oh favorite
Speaker 3: moment love hearing about your family stories, great content and
Speaker 3: great labs come out of them.
Speaker 2: Oh that's nice. I appreciate that. Doora will be great
Speaker 2: when she's on here because she will roast me in
Speaker 2: a way that even my wife didn't.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, indeed, I think Diora has the She's probably
Speaker 3: the most built for this out of all of us
Speaker 3: so far, given like what it is that her career
Speaker 3: path is correct.
Speaker 2: She's a performer, and I'm she's I'm gonna post at
Speaker 2: some point the well, it doesn't matter. I'm gonna post
Speaker 2: a video of my daughter singing at a musical that
Speaker 2: it sounds like, Oh God, nobody wants see that. It
Speaker 2: will blow your mind. It will, it will blow. It
Speaker 2: blew my mind. I knew she could act, I didn't
Speaker 2: know she could sing like that. It blew my mind.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 3: Next the moment, uh no, nor Mariguez said, favorite moment.
Speaker 3: Moment was Nick's story about when he got twenty five
Speaker 3: dollars in David Buster books from his old job as
Speaker 3: a happy birthday.
Speaker 2: Well, I forgot about that. Yeah, that's unbelievable. Appreciate that me.
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm not gonna name names there, but
Speaker 2: I would like to just go ahead and check something
Speaker 2: real quick. That company which still employs a lot of
Speaker 2: my friends as of right now. Okay, that's good. Stock
Speaker 2: price for that company is thirty six cents a share.
Speaker 2: Maybe you should have treated some of your best employees better.
Speaker 2: That's really not good for me, though, because I own
Speaker 2: like ten thousand shares of that company thirty six cents,
Speaker 2: ten thousand shares with thirty six hundred bucks, get out
Speaker 2: of here. The market gap for that. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: that's not great.
Speaker 3: All right. Last, Craig Barnett said, favorite moment from the
Speaker 3: first hundred episodes is quote unquote all cheaked up.
Speaker 2: People really like Demonse. Just moments ago Colin Jackson Deville
Speaker 2: all cheeked up there it is. What's Right with Nick

Speaker 2: back with a live show episode one oh one. Make
Speaker 2: sure you tell your friends we are. YouTube subscribers are
Speaker 2: kind of slowing a bit about fourteen k. You fourteen

Speaker 2: Demanse to get this thousand dollars bonus. So tell your
Speaker 2: friends do that. We'll see you guys on Thursday. What's Right?
Speaker 3: Two
