Speaker 3: I can't believe you won't drink beer through a hot dog.
Speaker 3: It would have been good for.
Speaker 4: The show, probably wouldn't have been good for my body.
Speaker 3: Why you drink beer you eat hot dogs?
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, just the mixture of hot dog
Speaker 5: juices and beer.
Speaker 3: I don't think it would taste good, but it wouldn't
Speaker 3: put you in danger. There are things we do when
Speaker 3: we are up and coming media people try to raise profile,
Speaker 3: get garner attention, and this would have been a good
Speaker 3: one for.
Speaker 5: It's like abstract hazing. It's like things that we do
Speaker 5: in the media when we're new.
Speaker 3: You don't think I did stupid wacky goofy all the
Speaker 3: time on the radio in Kansas City and Houston. The
Speaker 3: only reason I want to make this clear, the only
Speaker 3: reason I'm not making you do it as a prerequisite
Speaker 3: of the show is because we're so late. Now that
Speaker 3: it's been done by so many people, they understand the
Speaker 3: gimmicks that we sometimes are resorted forced to resort to.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 5: You give me a gimmick that doesn't involve putting something
Speaker 5: inside of my body.
Speaker 3: It's drinking a beer on the one hundred percent does
Speaker 3: not even apply there.
Speaker 5: What do you mean it doesn't apply. I'm saying one
Speaker 5: hundred percent. I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 3: Okay, but you it's disappointing. Welcome in. It is another
Speaker 3: episode of What's Right with Nick Right, the podcast and
Speaker 3: YouTube show. We are right around the corner from sixty
Speaker 3: thousand subscribers on YouTube. So if you're listening to this
Speaker 3: on your phone, if you're a podcast listener, click the
Speaker 3: subscribe button. I don't know what our podcast subscription numbers are,
Speaker 3: but if you're watching this on YouTube and you'd like
Speaker 3: to subscribe to it on iTunes or Spot, we would
Speaker 3: greatly appreciate that. This past the previous show. This week
Speaker 3: was our longest show by a mile. It was an
Speaker 3: hour and twelve minutes long, and that was in part
Speaker 3: because I had been off work for a week, in
Speaker 3: part because I'm still not on television yet this week
Speaker 3: because we have an important, exciting announcement regarding First Things
Speaker 3: First coming soon, but that is temporarily keeping me off.
Speaker 3: There are all good things though today we're still not
Speaker 3: on TV right now, but we're not gonna go an
Speaker 3: hour twelve. We're gonna do our best to stick to
Speaker 3: the format and keep the podcast around forty minutes, so
Speaker 3: let's get right to it. First. Let's discuss what we're
Speaker 3: not discussing today. Here's what did not make the cut
Speaker 3: for today's show. Any Jimmy g scenario possible, Nick Saban
Speaker 3: getting a record deal at Alabama, and the Yankee fan
Speaker 3: who uses a hot dog for a straw. That last
Speaker 3: one didn't make the show because Demanse cowardly refused to
Speaker 3: participate in the bit for it. I don't know why
Speaker 3: he's still angry that I'm even referencing it, and there
Speaker 3: is I am holding it out small hope that his
Speaker 3: refusal to do this is all an elaborate ruse, and
Speaker 3: that in the final segment of today's show, Demandy's gonna
Speaker 3: break out. Uh, you know a bud and a Nathan's
Speaker 3: hot dog. You say it again.
Speaker 4: It won't be a budder, You're like a Budweiser. Is
Speaker 4: a bud just like a term for beer?
Speaker 3: Yeah no, a Budweiser, Oh yeah no, won't be doing it.
Speaker 3: Oh what's wrong with a with a nice American logger? Buddy,
Speaker 3: It's gotta be like a Corona's Okay, Corona's good. But
Speaker 3: I don't know if the Corona I feel like it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. We're not doing it because Demande said he's
Speaker 3: not doing it, So that's fine. He doesn't want to participate.
Speaker 3: So let's get to the actual show. Demons. Good to
Speaker 3: see you. Even though I'm a little disappointed in you today,
Speaker 3: I have a feeling that guy.
Speaker 4: Is actually disappointed that I don't want to do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course I am, man, It's of course I am.
Speaker 3: But that's fine. We'll move on. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 3: What are we starting with today?
Speaker 5: The Cage Katie trade Shenanigans are finally over after two
Speaker 5: months yep. After requesting a trade and issuing an ultimatum,
Speaker 5: Katie has decided he's going to stay with the Nets.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 4: Uh last week he said there.
Speaker 5: Not last week, but last episode you said Katie was
Speaker 5: definitely going to get traded from the Nest yep.
Speaker 4: So what happened to you?
Speaker 3: All right? So I a credit to my two television
Speaker 3: co hosts, who, in addition to being great partners, and
Speaker 3: I'm sure if asked to drink hot dog through a
Speaker 3: beer through a hot dog straw, they would have done it.
Speaker 3: Unlike my podcast partner. They both nailed this in a
Speaker 3: way that I didn't the day of Katie's trade request demand.
Speaker 3: I guess July first, Kevin Wilds has a tweet where
Speaker 3: he's talking about all the different Katie takes and he
Speaker 3: has a gift of a roulette table roulette wheel, and
Speaker 3: he said, I'm going to put a few chips on
Speaker 3: the After a few weeks, this all settles down and
Speaker 3: Katie stays, and no one at the time was saying
Speaker 3: that that's what happened. Also credit to Chris Broussard, who
Speaker 3: for the last six weeks on TV has been adamant
Speaker 3: with me that the Nets should hold firm that unless
Speaker 3: they are going to get the greatest return for any
Speaker 3: player in franchise history, they should tell Kevin Durant, you
Speaker 3: got four years left on your deal, You're not going anywhere.
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what happened. And so I incorrectly assumed
Speaker 3: that Katie would not break the decade plus long streak
Speaker 3: of superstar players in this league getting exactly what they wanted,
Speaker 3: and even if it was slightly delayed, we have not
Speaker 3: seen a superstar that wanted to get traded not end
Speaker 3: up getting traded. James Harden had to wait a couple
Speaker 3: weeks longer than he wanted to. But guys who been Simmons,
Speaker 3: who's not even a superstar, had to wait a couple
Speaker 3: months longer than he wanted to. But they all got
Speaker 3: their way. So why didn't Durant get his way? I
Speaker 3: think it was a confluence of a bunch of somewhat
Speaker 3: unrelated events. The first reason that I truly believe Kevin
Speaker 3: Durant did not get his way has to do with
Speaker 3: Dan Age and the Minnesota Timberwolves. I think the Rudy
Speaker 3: go Bear trade was such a ridiculous return for such
Speaker 3: a wild, good, clearly flawed player, it skewed the market
Speaker 3: for everything else. And so if I'm gonna use a
Speaker 3: mediocre analogy here, but if you're thinking about selling your house,
Speaker 3: and you think your house is worth about, I don't know,
Speaker 3: call it three hundred thousand dollars, and a guy up
Speaker 3: the street who has a worse house than yours by
Speaker 3: every worse, smaller square footage, fewer bathrooms, more issues, worse
Speaker 3: roof all that stuff, sells his house for eight hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty thousand dollars. Then all of a sudden you're thinking, well,
Speaker 3: I have to get at least that, and if you don't,
Speaker 3: then then you're probably like, well then it's not the
Speaker 3: right time to sell. So I think the go Bear
Speaker 3: trade up the marketplace significantly. I think it's affecting the
Speaker 3: ability to trade. Donovan Mitchell. I think it's affecting a
Speaker 3: lot of things in the league right now. That's the
Speaker 3: first point. The second point is Kevin Durant handled this
Speaker 3: incredibly oddly. He did not go public with his trade request,
Speaker 3: but nobody was disputing that it happened. He then met
Speaker 3: with Joe Cion Sean Marx and demanded the coach in
Speaker 3: the GM be fired, which I thought was the checkmate move,
Speaker 3: because how can you ask the coach in the GM
Speaker 3: to work with him after he makes that demand. He doesn't.
Speaker 3: He's active on Twitter, he doesn't dispute any of these things.
Speaker 3: Then it is reported he is contemplating retirement. He immediately
Speaker 3: comes to Twitter to dispute that notion, which while I
Speaker 3: don't think many people believed it was really his one
Speaker 3: of his last remaining leverage pieces. And then at the
Speaker 3: end when they announced, make this announcement that we're all
Speaker 3: one big, happy family again, We're gonna work together. He
Speaker 3: has his company the boardrooms letter had on it alongside
Speaker 3: the nets, so that was a joint announcement. So kt
Speaker 3: never put out any official statement demanding of trade, but
Speaker 3: he did let his company's letter had be used on
Speaker 3: the announcement saying we're not trading anybody. So I think
Speaker 3: all of that was very odd, and I think Katie
Speaker 3: handled it in an odd way. The last piece of
Speaker 3: this is I think KD and myself underestimated the medal
Speaker 3: of Joe Side, the owner of the Brooklyn Nets, who
Speaker 3: I think, ultimately I thought Joe said was going to say,
Speaker 3: I just don't want this embarrassment, this distraction. What it
Speaker 3: would appear Joe Sigh's motivations were, I am not going
Speaker 3: to be told what to do by anyone. I am
Speaker 3: one of the richest people in the history of the world.
Speaker 3: I am incredibly powerful, I'm incredibly successful. Kevin Durant is
Speaker 3: not dictating terms to me disrespect. Yes, I think that's
Speaker 3: very clear that's what happened, and Katie realized, Okay, I
Speaker 3: don't have any other options, any other great options. The
Speaker 3: last piece of this is there was an odd report
Speaker 3: that we kind of discussed on the previous pot about
Speaker 3: the Grizzlies wanting to be involved. But in that report
Speaker 3: it said the Grizzlies did not want to trade John Morant, Fine,
Speaker 3: Jaron Jackson Jr. Huh or Desmond Bane for Kevin Durant.
Speaker 3: Then there was a report the Pelicans considered brandon Ingram untouchable.
Speaker 3: And then there was a report that the Celtics, while
Speaker 3: they would include Jalen Brown, would not include him in
Speaker 3: concert with either Marcus Smart or Robert Williams. So what
Speaker 3: does that tell you? That tells you the rest of
Speaker 3: the league. While no one denies how great Katie is
Speaker 3: trying to give, we're skeptical of trading for him when
Speaker 3: they were I think afraid, maybe a little afraid about
Speaker 3: his health, but more afraid that he's gonna get sick
Speaker 3: of being here in a year or two and do
Speaker 3: this whole thing again. So all of those things came
Speaker 3: together to make it to where he's going to run
Speaker 3: it back.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: I'll let you will get into whether or not I
Speaker 3: think it can work in a moment, but it's incredibly
Speaker 3: odd and I do not consider this story over. I
Speaker 3: think there are I think it is now almost a
Speaker 3: guarantee that Durant is going to start the season with
Speaker 3: the Nets. And by the way, vindication for my season
Speaker 3: ticket purchase. Ye about that while my takes went down
Speaker 3: in flames, those season tickets. You realize game one of
Speaker 3: this NBA season, you and me and your mom and
Speaker 3: one of your sisters.
Speaker 4: And one of my sisters, you got four tickets.
Speaker 3: One of them is gonna get left out. Uh are
Speaker 3: going to be rowt in center court Barclays watching Kevin
Speaker 3: r and Kyrie Urvay playing Zion and then and the Pelicans.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be so dope. So in that regard, that's great.
Speaker 3: All right, now let's talk Let's stay here and talk
Speaker 3: about how good they that. Oh wait, I didn't finish
Speaker 3: the thought. Just sorry, he's going to start the season
Speaker 3: with the nets. If those sideways, if Ben Simmons still
Speaker 3: can't play, or if something happened to Kyrie, or if
Speaker 3: there's a big blow up with Steve.
Speaker 4: Nash, what can happen with these guys?
Speaker 3: I do and the other and the other part of
Speaker 3: why there could be a trade mid season a lot
Speaker 3: of these teams. Darryl Morey said this to me once
Speaker 3: not long ago, and it's a smart point, which was
Speaker 3: the reason this time of year, right before a season
Speaker 3: starts is the hardest time to make a trade is
Speaker 3: because everyone loves their team. Everyone loves the moves they
Speaker 3: made in the offseason, everyone loves their draft picks. Everyone.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But if we're six weeks into the season and
Speaker 3: say the Pelicans are like, oh man, the brandon Ingram
Speaker 3: looked great without Zion, but now with Sigon, with the
Speaker 3: ball in his hands that much, and with CJ, he's
Speaker 3: kind of being minimized to be there are things that
Speaker 3: can happen that can make a team that otherwise wouldn't
Speaker 3: engage re engage. And if things are uncomfortable and bad
Speaker 3: in Brooklyn, So I don't. I am still not fully
Speaker 3: convinced Rant is finishing the year with the Nets, but
Speaker 3: he is going to start the year with the Nets.
Speaker 3: So I got that wrong. Go ahead next, all right?
Speaker 5: So the Nets are now plus nine hundred to win
Speaker 5: the twenty twenty three title. Yep, they have obviously got Ben,
Speaker 5: Kyrie and Katie. Yeah, what do you think are the
Speaker 5: Nets contend?
Speaker 3: Absolutely not?
Speaker 4: Absolutely not?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: I it is gobsmacking to me that people are going
Speaker 3: to step on this rake again. The oh on paper,
Speaker 3: I mean, look at this team. This team was sixteen
Speaker 3: playoff wins away from a championship. You need sixteen wins
Speaker 3: to win a title. They got zero. They were sixteen
Speaker 3: wins away. Yeah, KD played all of their playoff games.
Speaker 3: Kyrie played all of their playoff games. Oh but Nick
Speaker 3: add Ben Simmons, They add, I've never seen so much
Speaker 3: love for TJ. Warren except for the two weeks in
Speaker 3: the bubble he looked awesome. Guys played like twelve games
Speaker 3: since then, and they added Royce O'Neil. Those three editions,
Speaker 3: you lose Dragics, but he so what, You probably lose Blake,
Speaker 3: So what, It's fine, those three editions are worth how
Speaker 3: many playoff wins one and a half two? Now if
Speaker 3: will they be better in the regular season and therefore
Speaker 3: not play a team as good as Boston Round one?
Speaker 5: But like, look at the things that happened with the
Speaker 5: Nets last year, Like as far as Kyrie not playing
Speaker 5: half the season, you know, Ben Simmons came, it came late,
Speaker 5: didn't play any games on them. Exactly what do you
Speaker 5: what do you think happens when these guys start in
Speaker 5: the beginning of the season with each other and like
Speaker 5: I think you just think that the players won't mesh
Speaker 5: well because there I feel like, with all of their
Speaker 5: skill levels, there's no reason they shouldn't be contenders on paper.
Speaker 3: But the the idea that we are, they did not
Speaker 3: make an earth shattering player edition. Let's be clear that
Speaker 3: Royce O'Neill and TJ. Warren are rotational guys.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: Their major addition is Ben Simmons, who has not played
Speaker 3: a basketball game in a year and a half and
Speaker 3: when we've seen him in the playoffs has been questionable
Speaker 3: at best. Let's call him that, right. The coach who
Speaker 3: had massive issues just from being a coach now is
Speaker 3: deal with the fact that his star player, who the
Speaker 3: iconic Steve Nash image of his entire nets tenure. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna show it to you because I don't know if
Speaker 3: you remember. It was after the best game of Kevin
Speaker 3: Durant's life, the Game five against the Bucks, a game
Speaker 3: I was in attendance at and geat he played all
Speaker 3: forty eight minutes at forty eight nineteen and ten or
Speaker 3: something to potentially save their season. That's the image of
Speaker 3: Nash just gugging him. Give him the giant bear hug
Speaker 3: that guy said fire him. Yeah, I mean that's gonna
Speaker 3: go great.
Speaker 5: Chemistry is definitely, but I just feel like they have
Speaker 5: no choice but to get that chemistry out.
Speaker 4: Okay, I gotta make it or break it.
Speaker 3: That's what everybody says. Man. With this team, they're like, no,
Speaker 3: I do not believe in them as contenders and this idea.
Speaker 3: Everyone's like, Oh, but Kyrie Irving, he's gonna he's learned
Speaker 3: his lesson. No he hasn't. No, he has not, and
Speaker 3: so they will. Here's the problem for the next At
Speaker 3: their best, they will look like one of the very
Speaker 3: best teams in basketball. In order to win a championship,
Speaker 3: you must be at that level for two months. They've
Speaker 3: barely been able to be at that level for two
Speaker 3: weeks over the last two years. So no, I don't
Speaker 3: think that's gonna change. And they're still gonna suck defensively
Speaker 3: even with Ben Simmons. Okay, what's next?
Speaker 4: Okay, so sorry.
Speaker 5: After the Kadie News broke, Patrick Beverly took to Twitter
Speaker 5: to speak his mind. Yeah, Beverly is basically saying talking
Speaker 5: about how the situation was mishandled or handled poorly. Should
Speaker 5: I say, is Patrick Beverley just inserting himself or does
Speaker 5: he actually have a point.
Speaker 3: All right, here's the tweet. Y'all can sit and don't
Speaker 3: say nothing, but that ain't cool. It's dude with families
Speaker 3: out here and we haven't got a job because of
Speaker 3: this KT sh and to be on and off ain't cool.
Speaker 3: Blessing Gang. Beverly then tweeted, it's not good business. These
Speaker 3: owners can't wait until new deal comes. All we doing
Speaker 3: is hurting the future. Good day, Blessing Game. Katie then
Speaker 3: tweets hashtag blame Katie, and Beverly says, damn gang who
Speaker 3: said I was talking about.
Speaker 4: You that part was crazy.
Speaker 3: I'm speaking about how it was done both sides to
Speaker 3: keep this private, but noted all of this was crazy.
Speaker 3: First of all, Damn Gang who said I was talking
Speaker 3: to you about you.
Speaker 4: You buddy, that that part's crazy.
Speaker 3: When he said because of this KT shit.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's wild.
Speaker 5: But his initial point does I don't really like how
Speaker 5: this honestly, But now that you say that, I.
Speaker 4: Think that you made a good point about it.
Speaker 5: The owner not being disrespected by Katie or being little
Speaker 5: kind of makes sense because Katie didn't seem to stall
Speaker 5: out and he wanted to stay there.
Speaker 4: He stalled out and ended up staying there because.
Speaker 3: He had no choice, had no choice.
Speaker 4: So in that sense, I guess you really can't blame.
Speaker 3: But the other part of listen the whole thing Beverly
Speaker 3: is just it's such a ludicrous he again, I've made
Speaker 3: this point for and I will make it again. You
Speaker 3: if you want to talk trash about Kevin Durant, you
Speaker 3: must either be a great, great basketball player or not
Speaker 3: a basketball player.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to hear Patrick Beverly's Kati takes. I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: they just don't. Nobody's like, oh man, what's the amazing
Speaker 3: Dave Chappelle's skit where he's talking about how after nine
Speaker 3: to eleven MTV called up job Rule to get his
Speaker 3: take on it? And Dave Chappelle's like, Chappelle's like, I
Speaker 3: don't want to hear buy John Rule. I'm scared, man,
Speaker 3: Like where's John what's Johnsony? Like was there anyone in
Speaker 3: the world that after the Katie stuffs, are like, oh man,
Speaker 3: what's Beverly's take on it? But the best part of
Speaker 3: the Beverly tweet is the noted but noted what noted for?
Speaker 3: What fucking Roos, What are you gonna do about it? Now,
Speaker 3: Patrick Beverley, you're a foot shorter than him, and the
Speaker 3: last time you played him in a relevant game, he's
Speaker 3: scored fifty on your Clippers with This is back when
Speaker 3: he was with Golden State, his last the about a
Speaker 3: month where he blew his achilles. He scored fifty on
Speaker 3: the Clippers and Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams drass about
Speaker 3: after the game and they both just started laughing when
Speaker 3: they were asked about why you couldn't stop him, and
Speaker 3: Lou Williams goes, we tried, and Patrick Beverley's laughing. He's like,
Speaker 3: what do you want to do? Is Kevin Durant? And
Speaker 3: now Patrick Beverley is like, and there's the clock. We
Speaker 3: got go a little long but not super long? Uh?
Speaker 3: Patrick revers like, oh, noted? Can you? Patrick Beverly is
Speaker 3: gonna be doing his stupid little stance with his forearm
Speaker 3: in Durant's back and Durant's gonna have to look down
Speaker 3: to see him.
Speaker 5: I'm such a good think Katie took the high ground
Speaker 5: as far as like the hashtag.
Speaker 3: But yeah, Katie's funny on Twitter. Yeah, Katie's got a
Speaker 3: good Twitter persona. Katie was on one yesterday on Twitter.
Speaker 3: So no, I'm I'm all for that. But okay, let's
Speaker 3: let's wrap this up because I said, we're not gonna
Speaker 3: go super long today.
Speaker 5: Let's talk about your boy. Now that Katie and Kyrie
Speaker 5: are staying, Yes, your boy. Now that Katie and Kyrie
Speaker 5: are staying in Brooklyn, the Lakers seem to it's probably.
Speaker 4: Stuck with Russ Uh.
Speaker 5: It seemed like when Lebron resigned that they'd give up
Speaker 5: the one and two pick the trade for Kyrie. But
Speaker 5: that's definitely not happening now. So what should the Lakers
Speaker 5: do with Lebron now this is their situation or their reality?
Speaker 4: Should I say?
Speaker 3: Okay, so all right, I'm not yet certain Kyrie won't
Speaker 3: end up on the Lakers, because, like I said, I'm
Speaker 3: not yet certain this thing doesn't still blow up in Brooklyn.
Speaker 3: This is obviously less than.
Speaker 4: Idea yep for the Lakers.
Speaker 3: There was a scenario where everyone was gonna win. Katie
Speaker 3: was going to go to Boston, Kyrie was going to
Speaker 3: go to the Lakers. We could have a Lakers Celtics
Speaker 3: NBA Finals, the two most storied franchise in NBA history,
Speaker 3: both with seventeen championships right fighting for eighteen. It would
Speaker 3: be Katie versus Lebron in a fair match in the
Speaker 3: finals for the first time since twenty twelve, and we
Speaker 3: could see it. Now. The Lakers have some work to do. Yeah,
Speaker 3: my guess is what the Lakers do is start the
Speaker 3: year with Russ. Okay, see if it can work with
Speaker 3: Darvin Hanes.
Speaker 5: Hey man, everybody's disrespecting russ Man. I think the guy
Speaker 5: just had I think he let the fans get in
Speaker 5: his head. Much like Ben Simmons. I think that the
Speaker 5: fans really do have like an impact on like the
Speaker 5: way that players play and like when they're not on
Speaker 5: your side and like they're chanting stuff like that. Towards
Speaker 5: Russell Westbrook. I think that I think that I honestly
Speaker 5: think he's gonna prove people wrong this.
Speaker 3: Sha okay, I hope you're right. I think if he's
Speaker 3: gonna prove people wrong, it's gonna have to come in
Speaker 3: a different uniform and this idea. I read a report
Speaker 3: while I was in Rome that there the plan is
Speaker 3: to try to turn Russell Westbrook into a corner three
Speaker 3: point shooter.
Speaker 4: Like come on, man, oh, that's that's wild.
Speaker 3: That's wild. It's not a good idea. But if they
Speaker 3: do make a trade, it's probably with Indiana, the deal
Speaker 3: we keep hearing about involving Miles Turner. This is a
Speaker 3: bummer for the Lakers. There's no way around it. Kyrie
Speaker 3: was the only guy they could acquire at that level
Speaker 3: given their lack of assets, because they were the only
Speaker 3: team that wanted him. And now it looks like the
Speaker 3: Nets are just running it back. So yeah, it's not ideal.
Speaker 3: It's not ideal for the Lakers right now. They much
Speaker 3: like the Nets, are in the non contender category.
Speaker 4: I'm glad that you're being fair.
Speaker 3: I'm of course, I'm always fair. I'm spitting, I'm so angry.
Speaker 3: I'm always fair. Don't doubt my fairness. We'll be right.
Speaker 6: Back when it comes to towing.

Speaker 5: The rust thing might have been spotty, but the nets
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie, man, if the team's gonna stay together.
Speaker 5: I don't think the chemistry is obviously important, but I
Speaker 5: feel like if the chemistry was as bad as everybody
Speaker 5: thinks of it, that it should be given everything that happened,
Speaker 5: then they wouldn't be sticking together. Okay, we'll see the
Speaker 5: horrible take.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: I mean you were like, if the chemistry was as
Speaker 3: bad as everybody thinks as, they wouldn't be sticking together. Well,
Speaker 3: here's how bad the chemistry was. Kyrie asked for and
Speaker 3: requested the ability to seek a trade. Kadie demanded the trade,
Speaker 3: then demanded the coach and the GM to fire. Those
Speaker 3: things happened, and then they all came back to this
Speaker 3: is a couple that got divorce, filed for divorce, and
Speaker 3: then the then they got with their lawyers in their
Speaker 3: account and be like you'll both be banking, and it's
Speaker 3: like really, it's like, yeah, you gotta wait for these
Speaker 3: stocks the best or else you're just you're gonna pay
Speaker 3: a crazy tax penalty, so you need to wait like
Speaker 3: fifteen months and they need to get divorced. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 3: who's living downstairs. It's like you're still married and living together,
Speaker 3: but nobody thinks it's gonna work.
Speaker 4: So this is a toxic situation.
Speaker 3: I don't buy it. All right, welcome back in What's Right?
Speaker 3: Nick Right podcast and YouTube shows the second segment, and
Speaker 3: I want to before we get to our topic in
Speaker 3: the game, I want to acknowledge something, which is the
Speaker 3: passing of one of the greatest Kancity Chiefs of all time,
Speaker 3: the only Chiefs quarterback to win a Super Bowl prior
Speaker 3: to Patrick Mahomes, Lynn Dawson, And there is a massive
Speaker 3: personal connection between myself and Lynd Dawson. I just want
Speaker 3: to acknowledge, which is I do not think it is
Speaker 3: a stretch to say that I would not be in
Speaker 3: this field or have this job if not for some
Speaker 3: things Lynn Dawson helped do for me when I was
Speaker 3: a very little kid, even though he didn't know me.
Speaker 3: So Lynn Dawson was the voice of the Kancity Chiefs
Speaker 3: for my before I was born until a decade ago.
Speaker 3: He did the color commentary on the radio broadcast, and
Speaker 3: after the games there was a postgame calling show Bill
Speaker 3: Grigsby that Lynn Dawson was a part of in different
Speaker 3: various capacities. And that was where I got my passion
Speaker 3: for radio and my passion for giving takes. So I
Speaker 3: would go to these Chiefs games with my dad every Sunday,
Speaker 3: they at home games, and we'd stay for the whole game.
Speaker 3: We'd get their hours early and tailgate. The tailgate in
Speaker 3: kans City's legendary, it's unbelievable. We'd stay for the game,
Speaker 3: and then after the game we'd be in the parking
Speaker 3: lot and the postgame call and show would be on.
Speaker 3: And I called every single game, and I was nine
Speaker 3: years old, ten years old, eleven years old, and they
Speaker 3: could tell that, and at first they wouldn't let me on,
Speaker 3: and then I realized they wouldn't let me on because
Speaker 3: they didn't want to put kids on. So I would
Speaker 3: have when the call screener would answer, I would have
Speaker 3: my dad saying Nick in Kansas City, and then when
Speaker 3: they put him on hold, give it to me. And
Speaker 3: the first time I got on, I was nine or
Speaker 3: ten years old, and I don't remember specifically if Lynn
Speaker 3: was on this broadcast was just Bill Griggsby whatever it was.
Speaker 3: They complimented my observation and they said call back anytime,
Speaker 3: and they called me Nick the Kid, and I called
Speaker 3: into every show for like the next three years, and
Speaker 3: it was they had like a special segment where it
Speaker 3: was like, oh, it's time for Nick the Kid, and oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know if you knew this, And the people
Speaker 3: who sat in our section at the games would occasionally
Speaker 3: be like, I heard your calls and now and then
Speaker 3: you know, I ended up going into talk radio, going
Speaker 3: and doing that, and I always think back on that
Speaker 3: as like the beginnings. And so Lynn had been in
Speaker 3: hospice and he lived an amazing life and you know,
Speaker 3: he passed away. It was reported Wednesday morning that he passed,
Speaker 3: and I just he was a kans City legend on
Speaker 3: the field, but for people who aren't from kan City,
Speaker 3: he then, you know, I never saw him play. He
Speaker 3: retired well before I was born, but he was the
Speaker 3: lead sports anchor for Channel nine in kans City my
Speaker 3: entire life there, and he was part of the radio
Speaker 3: broadcast along with Mitch Holtis for a huge part of
Speaker 3: my life there. And so thoughts with his family, but
Speaker 3: I just wanted to say, like, if not for his
Speaker 3: and Bill Grigsby's kindness, I don't know. I always felt
Speaker 3: like those call ins helped give me the confidence that
Speaker 3: to when I first started actually doing radio, I wasn't
Speaker 3: so nervous because I felt like I'd been doing it
Speaker 3: for years and years. And so that's my Lynn Dawson
Speaker 3: story that I wanted to share with the audience as
Speaker 3: the news came out this morning that he had passed away,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 4: Never knew that that's actually that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3: And what I will add is this, because of that
Speaker 3: experience my entire career, when I was doing local radio,
Speaker 3: and on the local radio shows, we took callers. When
Speaker 3: kids would call, I'd get I'd let them on. You're
Speaker 3: not really supposed to let them on because usually it's
Speaker 3: not good like content for the listener. But I felt
Speaker 3: like a kinship the little kids that would call because
Speaker 3: that was me and I was, and I still to
Speaker 3: this day, I was, I will remember, and then we'll
Speaker 3: move on. When I was a teenager, I got to
Speaker 3: go on a trip with the Chiefs through my mom's job,
Speaker 3: to a game in Tampa Bay. And like, when I
Speaker 3: say a trip with the Chiefs. I got to fly
Speaker 3: on the team plane with them. Okay, and on the plane,
Speaker 3: more excited than to meet any of the players was
Speaker 3: to meet Lynn Dawson and Bill Grigsby. And I went
Speaker 3: up to Bill and I said, Hey, I don't know,
Speaker 3: you know, you don't know, You don't maybe don't remember,
Speaker 3: but I, for I was like probably fourteen at this time.
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm I'm the kid that calls in
Speaker 3: to every game. And he was like, you're Nick the kid.
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm And it was such like a
Speaker 3: cool moment that for me, I will always always remember. Okay,
Speaker 3: all right, let's get back to the show, demonse, what
Speaker 3: are we starting with today? All right?
Speaker 5: We were starting with the quarterbacks. Okay, we've all talked
Speaker 5: enough Tom Brady lately. Sure the guy we haven't talked
Speaker 5: about enough is or at all, really is Derek Carr.
Speaker 5: Sure he claims that he is not upset at all
Speaker 5: that Tom Brady might have ended up in Vegas. Yep,
Speaker 5: And everybody thinks that he's gonna have an amazing season
Speaker 5: with DeVante Adams being added.
Speaker 4: What offense are you most afraid of in the AFC West?
Speaker 3: Oh, to me, it's not even close. It's the Chargers.
Speaker 3: I think it is without a doubt, the Chargers. Keenan
Speaker 3: Allen's very good, even though he doesn't like me, because
Speaker 3: I think the audacity to call him I think the
Speaker 3: fourteenth best receiver in football. He might be eleventh. That'll
Speaker 3: do whatever it was. This is not bad. I like
Speaker 3: their coach. I love Justin Herbert. I think they're gonna
Speaker 3: force a lot of turnovers with the defense, and so
Speaker 3: the offense is gonna have a lot of short fields.
Speaker 3: The Chargers. I believe the Chiefs are gonna win the division,
Speaker 3: but if they don't, it will be because the Chargers
Speaker 3: win the division. So the Chargers to me are a
Speaker 3: clear number two behind Kansas City just from the offensive
Speaker 3: side of things. Number three, I do think is the
Speaker 3: Raiders because of Devonte Adams and because while Derek Carr
Speaker 3: is limited, he is more than capable and maybe he'll
Speaker 3: take a few more chances this year with the addition
Speaker 3: of Demonte Adams. The one I'm least scared of is
Speaker 3: the Broncos. And I know everyone loves Russ except for me,
Speaker 3: but they're already dealing with injuries at their wide receiver position.
Speaker 3: Offensive line. I don't think it's gonna be fixed overnight,
Speaker 3: and I think Russ is just a lesser player than
Speaker 3: people are pretending that he is. He is not what
Speaker 3: he once was. So to me, there's no doubt it's
Speaker 3: Chiefs one from an offensive perspective, but Chiefs one, Chargers two,
Speaker 3: Raiders three Broncos four from an overall team success perspective.
Speaker 3: I'll probably flip the Raiders and the Chargers because I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: excuse me, the Raiders and the Broncos. I think the
Speaker 3: division will finish Chiefs won, Chargers, two, Broncos three, Raiders four,
Speaker 3: because I do think the Broncos will have a far
Speaker 3: better defense than the Raiders will. But I don't think
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a three playoff team division. I think
Speaker 3: we're gonna have two playoff teams, the Chiefs and the Chargers.
Speaker 3: The AFC is too deep, I think for any of
Speaker 3: these divisions have three playoff teams. But it's clearly the Chargers.
Speaker 3: All right, I'm told we're playing a new game.
Speaker 5: We are playing a new game, and it's called all
Speaker 5: in or fold Yep.
Speaker 4: I will deal with you.
Speaker 5: I will deal with you a hand, and you will
Speaker 5: be all into or you're fold to disagree. Yep, our
Speaker 5: first one we've got the Eagles will win the NFC East.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's I will oh, I will fold on that.
Speaker 4: No, I folding.
Speaker 3: Here's something I don't think many people know. The Dallas
Speaker 3: Cowboys scored the most points in football last year. Not
Speaker 3: in their division, not in the NFC, and all the football.
Speaker 3: They scored the most points. Now. Do I believe in
Speaker 3: the Cowboys in a big spot? Of course not. Do
Speaker 3: I believe in the Cowboys and the playoffs? No? Because
Speaker 3: of Michael McCarthy. Do I think some of the Cowboys
Speaker 3: or stuff is going to regress to the mean because
Speaker 3: of the losses at wide receiver? In because I think
Speaker 3: they had seven or eight defensive touchdowns last year, and
Speaker 3: it's hard to have a defensive touchdown every other game. Sure,
Speaker 3: but the Cowboys are the best team in that division.
Speaker 3: The Giants are drawing dead, Washington is drawing dead. Then
Speaker 3: there's Philly. I I am not a jail and hurts believer.
Speaker 3: I know they made the playoffs last year. I like
Speaker 3: the kid. I like how he's handled himself after losing
Speaker 3: his job at Alabama. I just do not think I
Speaker 3: just don't think he is an above average NFL starting quarterback.
Speaker 3: So I do not think the Eagles can win the division,
Speaker 3: all right?
Speaker 4: Next, all right, the Ravens will be the AFC top seed.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: So here's the thing with the all in er fold
Speaker 3: dynamic here is there's no middle ground. Right, It's either
Speaker 3: I'm certain it will or I'm certain it won't. If
Speaker 3: you the smart play would be to take the field,
Speaker 3: like meaning, will the Ravens be the top seed or
Speaker 3: will any of the other fifteen teams be the top seed?
Speaker 3: The smart play obviously there's take the field. But if
Speaker 3: I look at it as do I think there is
Speaker 3: any individual team that has a better chance to be
Speaker 3: the number one seed thon the Ravens, the Ravens versus
Speaker 3: kan City, the Ravens versus Buffalo one for one, I
Speaker 3: would take the Ravens. So I'm all in. I think
Speaker 3: the Ravens because they are not going to have the
Speaker 3: schedule that kan City has, because in the regular season,
Speaker 3: at the very least, we know how dynamic Lamar can
Speaker 3: be because they have continuity that I'm afraid the Bills
Speaker 3: don't have because of the loss of Brian Dable. There
Speaker 3: are a lot of reasons that I believe the Bills
Speaker 3: and the Chiefs and the Chargers might all be better
Speaker 3: Super Bowl contenders than the Ravens. But I like the
Speaker 3: ravens chances of having a monster regular season, So I
Speaker 3: think the Ravens. I believe the Ravens are the third
Speaker 3: best team in the AFC, maybe second. I think it's
Speaker 3: Chiefs Bills Ravens or Chiefs Ravens Bills. I'm not trying
Speaker 3: to disrespect the Cincinnati but I and I think they're
Speaker 3: a playoff team but not a super Bowl team. Again,
Speaker 3: so I like the Ravens a lot. They were eight
Speaker 3: and three last year despite a ton of injuries. Before
Speaker 3: all the injuries caught up with them, they lost a
Speaker 3: couple games in the very last moments. So yeah, I'll
Speaker 3: go all in on that, because if I fold on something,
Speaker 3: it's gotta be. If I fold on it and it happens,
Speaker 3: it's incredibly embarrassing for me. So I will go all
Speaker 3: in on that. All right.
Speaker 4: Next, you will draft a Chiefs running back in fantasy.
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm folding that because I won't be drafting any
Speaker 3: running backs in fantasy because I won't be playing fantasy
Speaker 3: football really, so this is twofold. First reason I don't
Speaker 3: play fantasy football is because I gamble like an adult,
Speaker 3: Like I mean, it's beneath you at this point. No,
Speaker 3: it's just it's people play fantasy football as a way
Speaker 3: to gamble, you know, the best way to gamble, gamble,
Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, it's like, oh, and there's nothing more frustrating.
Speaker 3: I have a friend I'm gonna say who, but I
Speaker 3: used to watch Sunday football with me all the time,
Speaker 3: and I stopped inviting him.
Speaker 5: I already he was just going crazy about his fantasy guys,
Speaker 5: and I would.
Speaker 3: Be I would have thousand dollars bets on a game,
Speaker 3: and he would have the other teams running back for
Speaker 3: one of his six fantasy and this guy would score
Speaker 3: a touchdown and he would be fist pumping, and I
Speaker 3: would I couldn't. I couldn't stand it. I just couldn't say.
Speaker 3: I don't want there to be any emotional conflicts between
Speaker 3: my Sunday viewing experience. What I need on Sunday is
Speaker 3: to be rooting for the Kansity Chiefs and my bets.
Speaker 3: I don't need to be in this tortured reality of
Speaker 3: I drafted justin Herbert and the Chiefs are playing the Chargers.
Speaker 3: So I want the Chiefs to win, but I want
Speaker 3: Herbert to No, not interesting to keep track and all right,
Speaker 3: So that's first reason I'm out on fantasy. The other
Speaker 3: reason I'm out on fantasy is it created the worst
Speaker 3: sports radio content ever. Okay, and so fantasy.
Speaker 4: Worse than what green culture?
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, so much more so. Fantasy talk
Speaker 3: before the season starts can be fine in media, meaning
Speaker 3: sports radio in particular. What I'm talking about meaning, here's
Speaker 3: who you should draft first, second, third, here's guys that
Speaker 3: are sleepers, here's overvalued, undervalue that stuff, because that applies
Speaker 3: to everyone who might play fantasy football.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: The single worst type of sports radio, and you still
Speaker 3: hear it in a lot of local markets and some
Speaker 3: national outlets, is when you take a caller he's like, so,
Speaker 3: here's the deal. I'm in a half point PPR league.
Speaker 3: I've got to start two of these three? Who should
Speaker 3: I start? Clyde Edwards, Hilaire uh Ronald Jones, Oh, I
Speaker 3: guess he's on the seat. Wouldn't matter. Just gives you
Speaker 3: three guys. I'm I'm in a half point PPR six
Speaker 3: point touchdown, you get a hundred yard bonuses. I have
Speaker 3: Christian Kirk, i have Sammy Watkins, and I've got Juju
Speaker 3: Smith shoes, so i gotta start two or three. The
Speaker 3: reason that is so bad is because it is no
Speaker 3: different than calling up someone who's doing a show for thousands,
Speaker 3: hundreds of thousands, ten thousand people and saying, I have
Speaker 3: these three shirts in my closet, which should I wear?
Speaker 3: It is talking to only that person. It applies to
Speaker 3: no one else.
Speaker 4: And they would do this.
Speaker 3: They would take these calls. They do twenty minute segments,
Speaker 3: take seven callers, and I'm be like, you know who
Speaker 3: you helped seven goddamn people? Seven people you call that
Speaker 3: called you. It's maddening. So I'm out on it.
Speaker 4: So would you suggest a guy like me?
Speaker 5: Since you like say that I shouldn't do real bets,
Speaker 5: would you suggest me be a fantasy guy?
Speaker 3: Yes, but you have got to keep it to yourself
Speaker 3: when we're watching games. Yeah, that is a great now
Speaker 3: that I will say if you're not a gambler, but
Speaker 3: you want to have a little bit of action, putting
Speaker 3: a couple hundred bucks on a season long fantasy team,
Speaker 3: and then you're invested each weekend and a lot of games, right,
Speaker 3: without having to invest weekly amounts. That's the same reason
Speaker 3: that and we're gonna go along again. I'm sorry, guess
Speaker 3: that's the same reason I endorse season long win tots.
Speaker 3: So like you bet the Jaguars to win over six
Speaker 3: and a half games, you make that one bet, and
Speaker 3: then every week it feels like you have action on
Speaker 3: the Jaguars without having to bet a certain amount of
Speaker 3: money each week. So yeah, I that's fine, But I yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm not drafting in one a fantasy all right. Next
Speaker 3: we gotta go faster.
Speaker 4: All right? So number four we got Baker will win
Speaker 4: back Player of the Year Again.
Speaker 3: The better option on any of these would be fieled,
Speaker 3: but I'll go all in because is there a scenario
Speaker 3: where the Panthers win that division? That scenario exists, right.
Speaker 3: That scenario is that Baker's excellent like he was two
Speaker 3: years ago, Christian McCaffrey's healthy, and that Brady gets dinged
Speaker 3: because of that bad offensive line in Tampa. Those things
Speaker 3: are all possible. And so if that Panthers team, which
Speaker 3: is projected to be one of the worst in football,
Speaker 3: wins nine games, he might win comeback Player of the Year.
Speaker 4: It's plus one thousand to Bethis.
Speaker 3: So it's ten to one. I didn't know what the
Speaker 3: numbers were, but that's fine. Did you just make that
Speaker 3: up or you were told that?
Speaker 4: No, I just knew it.
Speaker 3: But is it accurate?
Speaker 4: Noed?
Speaker 3: Okay, good, okay, you know if you're just okay, that's
Speaker 3: ten to one is a fair number there. That's about
Speaker 3: what they are to win the division as well. Ten
Speaker 3: to one. Yeah, I'm I'm that it could go terribly there,
Speaker 3: but I don't think that's a bad bet. All right.
Speaker 4: Next Uh, the Jags will win in the AFC South.
Speaker 3: All right, I'm folding this, even though on high on
Speaker 3: the Jags only because I think the Cultus are gonna
Speaker 3: have an excellent record. I think the Cults are gonna
Speaker 3: win more than eleven or more games the Jags can't
Speaker 3: get there. If the question was the Jags will make
Speaker 3: the playoffs, I'm open to that possibility. I'm open to
Speaker 3: the possibility that with Doug Peterson, with Trevor Lawrence and
Speaker 3: you're two the Jags of the surprise team in football.
Speaker 3: I do think the Jags are gonna finish above five hundred.
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna win nine games. Will that be
Speaker 3: enough to make the playoffs? Probably not. It certainly won't
Speaker 3: be enough to win the division. So I am not.
Speaker 3: I am long on the Jags, but winning the AFC
Speaker 3: South I have to fold on that. We'll be right back.
Speaker 3: Oh we won't be right back. Yeah, let's do the
Speaker 3: bonus one.
Speaker 4: Sure.
Speaker 3: They told me we were doing a bonus one, and
Speaker 3: then I just I just forgot and I said, we'll
Speaker 3: be right back. It's a bad job by me, because
Speaker 3: a good job by youself.
Speaker 4: With reports that Zion is going to be ready for
Speaker 4: the start of the season, Zion will make all NBA
Speaker 4: next year.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'll take it all in, kay easy. I
Speaker 3: think the Pelicans are going to be good. I don't
Speaker 3: think people remember how bat shit insane Zion's numbers were.
Speaker 3: He put up numbers that literally Shack had done once
Speaker 3: and Kevin McHale had done once. His first So his
Speaker 3: first year in the league he barely played, and it
Speaker 3: was the year where the pandemic happened even got stopped.
Speaker 3: His second year in the league, he played sixty one
Speaker 3: out of eighty two games, so three quarters of the games.
Speaker 3: He averaged twenty seven points a game on sixty one
Speaker 3: percent from the field. In his career, he's played eighty
Speaker 3: five games. Those eighty five games, he averages twenty six
Speaker 3: points on sixty percent shooting. No one's ever done that,
Speaker 3: And so do I think Zion in bet better shape,
Speaker 3: with a better coach than he had had a lot
Speaker 3: of time with, with a better team can be awesome.
Speaker 3: I think it can be awesome. So yeah, I'll take
Speaker 3: Zion making an All NBA team. Now we'll be right
Speaker 3: back where we will find out if Demons is going
Speaker 3: to drink a beer through a hot dog straw or
Speaker 3: if he's going to break my heart. That's next, All right,
Speaker 3: welcome back. In final segment. What's right, Nick?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: Fantasy?
Speaker 3: What did you just say?
Speaker 5: What is just like a little note on the Google
Speaker 5: dog It says Yankees fan is a heathen?
Speaker 4: It just made me like, okay, stop trying to distract this.
Speaker 3: Are you doing this?
Speaker 4: You mean when I'm doing it? Where's it at?
Speaker 3: I hoped you were gonna like pull it out from
Speaker 3: underneath the couch. The beer and the hot dogs would
Speaker 3: surprised me.
Speaker 4: It would be good. Kind.
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I'm definitely willing to try it. It's just like,
Speaker 5: I don't have the necessaries.
Speaker 3: Okay, So the answer is, no, you're not gonna do it.
Speaker 3: You don't have the necessary tools. We've been Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 3: I would like to let the audience know that in
Speaker 3: my quest to become a prominent media member, I once
Speaker 3: for Radio Blended if we had a contest who could
Speaker 3: eat a whole raw onion the fastest. So I brought
Speaker 3: a blender to the station, hit it under the desk.
Speaker 3: All you could have was the onion and water. They
Speaker 3: started the contest. Everyone's eating their onion. I'm just standing
Speaker 3: there like arms crossed. They're like, oh, Nick's not even participating.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, just wait. These guys are third of
Speaker 3: the way through. They're crying the gagging a bit. I
Speaker 3: pulled out the blender, plugged it in, dropped that sucker
Speaker 3: and poured a glass of water in it. Hit liquefy
Speaker 3: and drank it. Onion water, well, raw onion blended. Yeah,
Speaker 3: with a little water to help it go down. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I did that. I want you know, I wear nicotine patches.
Speaker 3: I once Live on the Air applied seven nicked full
Speaker 3: strength nicotine patches, which could have given me a heart attack,
Speaker 3: including one to an incredibly sensitive place on my body.
Speaker 3: I did it for the audience.
Speaker 5: I feel like I know, I honestly feel like you
Speaker 5: just wanted to put six nicotine patches.
Speaker 3: I did it for the audience. I I have run
Speaker 3: a race dressed as a giant hot dog in relish
Speaker 3: like that the Royals thing, and then wiped out near
Speaker 3: the finish line.
Speaker 4: I think I saw that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you were there, definite. I sang take
Speaker 3: me out to the ball game in front of a
Speaker 3: sold out Royal stadium while while dancing with Slugger the mascot.
Speaker 3: How many of these stupid things did I do to
Speaker 3: get to where I am? And you won't. It's just
Speaker 3: so disappointing. Just this week, Oh you know, I paid
Speaker 3: out one thousand, twenty five hundred dollars out of my
Speaker 3: own pocket. No more than that. Hold on, I'm thirty
Speaker 3: five hundred dollars, Is that right? God dong get thirty
Speaker 3: five hundred dollars out of my own pocket. To the
Speaker 3: six people who want our What's right contest, By the way,
Speaker 3: let's shout them out on the air, because I'm glad
Speaker 3: that worked out. And I it's apologies to the folks
Speaker 3: who it took a little longer than expected. I just
Speaker 3: I went to Rome and I forgot to do it,
Speaker 3: but I reached out to all of them yesterday and
Speaker 3: sent them all. We gave the here's the deal on that.
Speaker 3: It was supposed to be one thousand bucks to one person,
Speaker 3: the person who got one through twelve in order, and
Speaker 3: that was in a very nice little twist of irony.
Speaker 3: You know what that guy's handle is. The guy who
Speaker 3: won the What's Right fifty RAS players countdown contest had
Speaker 3: Jokic to Murray. He's a huge Nikola jokicch fan. He
Speaker 3: won the thousand bucks five hundred to him, five hundred
Speaker 3: to a charity of his choice. I didn't, but I
Speaker 3: read my first tweet about it, and it didn't make
Speaker 3: it very clear I was only paying out the first
Speaker 3: guy to get it, because I wrote, if anyone gets it,
Speaker 3: but I clearly if anyone's eligible, but the first person,
Speaker 3: because or else. Theoretically I could have you know, it's limitless,
Speaker 3: how much are you used? But only six total people
Speaker 3: got it, so it's like, you know what, everyone else
Speaker 3: they got it. I'll pay half to two fifty to
Speaker 3: them to fifty their charity. So those other people were
Speaker 3: Jose Valdez, Jay val fourteen, Landry who was a great
Speaker 3: caller to my radio show. Uh and I used to
Speaker 3: have on Mad Dog Sports Radio. Landy though on Twitter, Brooks,
Speaker 3: Anthony whose name on Twitter is THH Brooks, Anthony, Logan, Underscore,
Speaker 3: Arnold eighteen Logan Arnold, and Doug Conger. All those folks won.
Speaker 3: One of them. Let me see who it was? Was
Speaker 3: it Logan Logan? I tweeted him, Hey man, you won?
Speaker 3: Where'sh I've been mow you the money? He dm me.
Speaker 3: I appreciate it, but what are you giving away? He
Speaker 3: didn't even know he wanted the money, and.
Speaker 4: I, hey, I love that.
Speaker 3: So all those folks won their winners. This show is
Speaker 3: a winner. The only loser here is Demonse for not
Speaker 3: drinking the hot dog beer. That's it. Just wouldn't do it.
Speaker 3: All right. We will be back next week with potentially
