00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: Welcome in episode one five, What's Right with Nick right

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: on a I'll be honest, somewhat bitter sweet Tuesday morning.

13
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: It's sweet because I was one of the few people

14
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: in the media to have the courage to pick Miami

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 2: Heat before the series, to stick with the Miami Heat

16
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 2: even after the stomach punch of a Game seven loss

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: or Game six loss pardon me going on the road

18
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: for Game seven. The bitter part is because my original

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: co host of the show, my beloved son Demons, who

20
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: we may or may not hear from today, is a

21
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: lifelong Celtics fan dating back to Rayjon Rondo and Ray

22
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: Allen and his heartbroken by this loss. Thankfully he now

23
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: lives in the state where sports betting is illegal, or else,

24
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: I would imagine this would have been a financially crippling

25
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: loss for him. We may hear from him shortly. We

26
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: need to get into the game, get into a little

27
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: finals preview. There's a little football to discuss as well.

28
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: We appreciate you watching on YouTube. If you're watching right

29
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: now on YouTube, don't forget to ask questions or comments

30
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: in the chat and we will get to them in

31
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: the third segment of the show. If you're an audio

32
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: listener listening throughout the week, we appreciate that as well.

33
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: Our YouTube numbers have been exceptional. Our audio pot podcast

34
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: download numbers those could be juiced a bit, so we'd

35
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: appreciate on iTunes or Apple Music or Spotify or wherever

36
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: you get your podcast, if you would subscribe. Here is

37
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: what is not on today's show. Jamison Williams unaware of

38
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: the gambling policy in the NFL. I actually buy that

39
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 2: since nearly a half dozen Detroit Lions we're suspended for

40
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 2: the same thing. That's a lion's failure, not a player failure.

41
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: The Milwaukee Bucks higher Adrian Griffin, the seventy six ers

42
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: hire nick nurse and Leveon Bell says he's smoked weed

43
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: before football games, which maybe explains his somewhat patient, almost

44
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: lethargic running style, but it worked quite well for him. However,

45
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: we must of course start with game seven from last night,

46
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: and we must of course welcome back in after a

47
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: brief absence Diora, who was not on this past Thursday

48
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: because she had school responsibilities. Those school responsibilities were a

49
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: trip to six Flags. Yeah, so she skipped work to

50
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 2: go to six Flags? Diora, How are we starting today?

51
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: Okay, so the Heat are heading to the finals. What's

52
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 3: more impressive the Heat beating the Bucks in the Celtics

53
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: en route to a finals? Or are you not losing

54
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: faith in Jimmy after they dropped three in a row.

55
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: Well they're both pretty damn impressive, I gotta tell you.

56
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: And I was shocked by how many people were just adamant. Oh,

57
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: once the Heat lost Game six, they have no shot.

58
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Why did they think that? So the argument is, oh,

59
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: they can't come back from that type of stomach punch.

60
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: Small history lesson here. So the last team to suffer

61
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: that type of stomach punch loss. This was actually worse was,

62
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: of course, the twenty thirteen San Antonio Spurs, which they

63
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: weren't going to go to the finals, they were going

64
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: to win the finals, and then Ray Allen hit a

65
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: three to send the game to overtime, the Heat winning overtime,

66
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: and then we go to Game seven. Now, of course

67
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: the Heat did end up winning that game, but it

68
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: was not because the San Antonio Spurs melted. It was

69
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: not because they were hungover from the loss. In fact,

70
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: the two biggest culprits of that loss were a young

71
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard and Mannu Genobili. They both missed a critical

72
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: free throw, one each in the final forty five seconds

73
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: of that game, which allowed the ra pardon me, the

74
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: Ray Allen shot to tie the game. Kawhian Manhu played

75
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: brilliantly in that Game seven. They only lost that game

76
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 2: because Lebron dropped thirty seven and twelve. Conversely, the Miami

77
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: Heat players who created the opportunity, Chris Bosh with the

78
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: rebound and Ray Allen with the shot in that Game seven,

79
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: the two of them, the team's third and fourth best players,

80
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 2: scored a combined zero points they were zero for nine

81
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: and the Heat won despite it was a two point

82
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: game with thirty seconds left. So the reason I give

83
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: you that brief history lesson is the idea that the

84
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: Heat just weren't going to be able to overcome the

85
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: emotional devastation of that game six is belied by history,

86
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: particularly win you have a great coach and Eric Spolstra,

87
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: and a great leader in Jimmy Butler. Furthermore, the Celtics

88
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: have not been a You love when I say furthermore

89
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: you laugh every time.

90
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: I think it's really funny because I feel as if

91
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: it's not necessary in the sentence.

92
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: You know what, Sometimes I do these opening monologues. It's

93
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: as if I'm writing an essay and just dictating it,

94
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: and so I throw in words that you would use

95
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: to adjoin thoughts or paragraphs within an essay. And that's why,

96
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: that's why maybe I use some of the language I

97
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: do as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. Furthermore,

98
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 2: the idea that the Celtics we're gonna have some massive

99
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: home court advantage. They've been bad at home in the

100
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: playoffs for two years now, and so I just didn't

101
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: buy it, and I understand, folks are caught up on

102
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 2: the alleged and seemingly obvious talent dispace between the Heat

103
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: and the Celtics. But how far do we have to

104
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: go until we are willing to say the Celtics are

105
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: not the better team. The only piece of evidence we

106
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: have that they're the better team is this year's regular season.

107
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: These teams played each other in the conference finals. In

108
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty Miami won they played last year, the Heat

109
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: were the one seed from the regular season. They played

110
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: each other in the conference finals last year. Jimmy Butler

111
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 2: and Tyler Hero got hurt. Hero didn't even play this series.

112
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: Butlers sent he played all the games but games three, four,

113
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: and five. He was a shell of himself. Despite that,

114
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: had an all time Game six, and then the Heat

115
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: were a shot away from winning Game seven. And in

116
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: this they played in the playoffs seven times. The Heat

117
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: annihilated them in Game three, a de facto elimination game,

118
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: Game seven, an actual elimination game, beat them soundly in

119
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: games one and two, and came literally within point two

120
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: seconds of winning Game six. They were point two seconds

121
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: away from beating them five out of seven, including two laughers.

122
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: The Heat are better Jimmy. I want to say this

123
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 2: as well. If you value winning basketball, if you value

124
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 2: playoff basketball, being a sixteen game player, you must acknowledge

125
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: that Jimmy Butler is a top five player in the league. Yo,

126
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: kitchenes in there, Jannis is in there, Steph is in there.

127
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: After that, there is nobody that you can definitively say

128
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: is better than Butler. He's better than Jason Tatum. I

129
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: feel he's better than Devin Booker the last few years

130
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: in the postseason. He's clearly been better than Kevin Durant.

131
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 3: And better than Lebron.

132
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: The last couple years in the postseason. You have to

133
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: say it. Lebron missed the playoffs last year. I thought

134
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: Lebron was excellent in the postseason this year. But even

135
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: if you would have Lebron ahead of him, that's only

136
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: four guys. But to me, Lebron, Durant, Jimmy or all

137
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: Luca are all in that discussion For the four, five, six,

138
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: seven spots, You've got to drop down Embiid, who keeps

139
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: coming up short in the postseason. You to me, it

140
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 2: is a question of how you view basketball. If right

141
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: now you feel like Embiid is better than Butler. Butler

142
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: constantly delivers, constantly gets better, constantly gets the most out

143
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: of his teammates, never blames other people. Had a great

144
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: line in the post game when he was asked about

145
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: role players and he was like, I don't call him

146
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: role players, I call him teammates. You feel like he's

147
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: gonna come through. I don't think there's a player in

148
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: the league. I would have been more confident in making

149
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: all three free throws at the end of Game six

150
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: than Jimmy so and Caleb Martin is a hell of

151
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: a story. I understand some people wanted Caleb Martin win

152
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: Eastern Comference Finals MVP. I would have been fine with it.

153
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: He was better in Game seven. Jimmy was better in

154
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: the entirety of the series. But we have sometimes in history,

155
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: go back to Magic's rookie year. You gave him a

156
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: Finals MVP because of what he did at the end

157
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 2: of the series. I think it's Game six at the

158
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 2: end of the series over Kareem, even though Kareem had

159
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: been the dominant player in that series. But I just

160
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 2: I think what Jimmy. The confidence Jimmy and Spolsra and

161
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: still in that team makes every guy on the heat,

162
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: the best version of themselves. And now we'll see how

163
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: they do against the Nuggets, which we'll talk about in

164
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: a moment. But now we've got to get to the

165
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: flip side of this, which is the losing team go ahead.

166
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 3: So bad news for Boston. The Celtics got embarrassed in

167
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 3: Game seven. Good news, their coach has plenty of time

168
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 3: to watch the town. Now, the assumption is Boston is

169
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: making major changes this offseason. Are Tatum and Brown good

170
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 3: enough to win a title or is it time to

171
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: move on?

172
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: Well, this is now where I would like to if

173
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: we can go to a video that Diora surreptitiously recorded

174
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: over my shoulder. You're always sititiously, surreptitiously. Uh, you're always

175
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: saying that I'm in your phone. You were all in

176
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: my phone.

177
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: You're on the phone with my brother.

178
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you were all in my conversation because demands

179
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: jubilantly looked like maybe he'd had a couple pops. But

180
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 2: that's okay. Watching Game six from a watering hole in

181
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: Los Angeles facetimes me and let's go ahead and run

182
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: the video.

183
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know, dudes, I can't I mean,

184
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 4: you guys are so lucky.

185
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 2: What I mean, give me a break. So this is

186
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: kind of a real life version of how it started,

187
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: how it's going. That's how it started on Friday.

188
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 3: Also shows how much of a dad do you want?

189
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 3: Why the screenshotting the messing up with your phone is

190
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 3: just that.

191
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: Is true if you were watching the video. I accidentally

192
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: pulled my credit card up the little Apple paid thing

193
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 2: up there. Accidentally. I was taking the old school screenshots.

194
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: But that's fine. I like the old school screenshots because

195
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: then you get your face in it as well. The

196
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 2: regular the little tap button screenshot. You only get him

197
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: as opposed to getting both of us. Doesn't matter. That's

198
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 2: how it started. Here's how it's going live from Los Angeles, Demons.

199
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: How you feeling this morning, sun.

200
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 5: Well, it is seven in the morning. I'm feeling It's

201
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 5: all right, man. The heater gonna get a gentleman's sweep

202
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 5: and that'll be my my victory lap. Okay, how are.

203
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: You we'll get to the finals a few days ago.

204
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: I mean, that's listen, congrats that you guys made the

205
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: exact same round and instead of instead of a hard

206
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: fought four games, that all came down to the wire.

207
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: But you know my team couldn't get any of them

208
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: against the Nuggets. Your team at home against an eight

209
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: seed had somehow found a fate worse than a sweep,

210
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 2: which is you felt all the embarrassment of a sweep

211
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: in those first three games. No what demonte back on camera? Please?

212
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: Then you got Then you got your hopes built up

213
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: in game four. Oh wait, game fives back in Boston.

214
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: Then you beat him in game five. Then game six

215
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, don't let us win Game six, and

216
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: you win it in the most miraculous fashion, only to

217
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: no show at TD Garden fifteen first quarter points.

218
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 5: Stress out up until five six o'clock yesterday. Come on now, man,

219
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 5: you thought we were gonna win that series the whole time,

220
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 5: up until six o'clock. Man, be serious.

221
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: All right, well, I'm going to off the air. Send

222
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: you some betting slips from yesterday that show how confident

223
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: I was plus two seventy. Pay the man, I don't

224
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 2: need the plus seven and a half. All take the

225
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: money line plus two seventy. Thank you. Also a little

226
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: little small taste on the heat at thirteen to one

227
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: to win the title before tip off yesterday, but that's

228
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: neither here nor there. Yeah, thirteen to one. That because

229
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: everyone thought Boston was gonna win. They're like, they're three

230
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: to one now, but everyone thought Boston was gonna win.

231
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: For your donation, Okay, well we'll see, but let's talk

232
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: about your Celtics because you had some takes yesterday, which

233
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: was Jalen Brown's gotta go and Jason Tatum's milking his injury.

234
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: So let's start with the Tatum thing. Let me ask

235
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: you this a sober minded analyst, if Tatum never turns

236
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: his ankle, do you think the Celtics win that game?

237
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 5: You know I'm gonna be arrogant and.

238
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: Said, yeah, okay, I don't do think that.

239
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 5: I think that, you know, our best player hobbling around

240
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 5: when seeing playing hurt. I think it definitely has an

241
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 5: effect on the team. I do. I mean, maybe they

242
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 5: don't win. I don't think that they get smoked the

243
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 5: way that they did, but yes, I definitely do think

244
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 5: that changes the outcome.

245
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: Well, so I think maybe it changes some of the

246
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: ebbs and flows. I felt like Miami was the better

247
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: prepared team and Boston somehow was not prepared to deal

248
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 2: with the Miami zone. But that does bring us to

249
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 2: the Jalen Brown question, because the entire idea of having

250
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: two stars is if one of your stars is compromised,

251
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: one of your stars isn't one hundred percent, the other

252
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: guy can step up instead. He was eight of twenty three.

253
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 2: He looked like you dribbling out there. Just having the

254
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: ball ripped away from him is just.

255
00:17:58,920 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 5: That's so addious.

256
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: And uh, to Jalen Brown or to you, to me,

257
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 2: to me, Okay, I.

258
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 5: Don't think we saw Jaylen Brown a star anymore. I'm sorry.

259
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: So you wouldn't pay him the five years?

260
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 5: What'd you say? No?

261
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 2: Go ahead, I can't hear you pressing the button.

262
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 5: I am pressing the button, But no, I wouldn't give James.

263
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: Okay, that's my bad. That was in my headphone. Sorry.

264
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: So here's the deal. I don't think they can pay

265
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: him that either, but we also know that if they don't,

266
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: they've got to trade him. So I think there is

267
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: a Damian Lillard trade trade to be made. Set it

268
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 2: up and say it again, set it up immediately. I

269
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 2: think there's a Damian Lillard trade to be made, and

270
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: I think it's actually one that works for both teams.

271
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 2: Because the Blazers have the third pick of the draft,

272
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: So the Blazers add Jalen Brown. I think you could

273
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 2: really just almost do it one for one, Jalen for

274
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: Damian Lillard. Damien's better, but Jalen is younger, the Blazers

275
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 2: are gonna need to spend some money. He's more on

276
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: the right timeline. And Jalen just didn't seem like himself

277
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: the whole postseason. And he is a more than capable

278
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 2: second option, but he's clearly not a number one. And

279
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 2: with the I don't want to get into the machinations

280
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 2: of the new collective bargaining agreement, but you pay Jalen

281
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 2: fifty million a year, and next year you're gonna have

282
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 2: to pay Tatum sixty million a year. Sixty million a year. Uh,

283
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: that's gonna be your team. And the whole idea behind

284
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: having these two dominant wings is you can shut down

285
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 2: the other team's wings while out playing them. Instead, they

286
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: got outplayed by Jimmy Butler and Caleb Martin. No shame

287
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 2: in getting out plaid by Jimmy Butler. A little shame

288
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: of getting out played by Caleb Martin. By the way,

289
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: mild media criticism is it too much to ask that

290
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: the number one color commentator of the Eastern Conference Finals,

291
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: Reggie Miller, if he is going to make the twenty

292
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 2: minutes of the broadcast about how Caleb Martin is going

293
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: to get paid, that he know that Caleb Martin this

294
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 2: past offseason signed a three year contract, and that he's

295
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: not a pending free agent and he just signed for

296
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 2: three years twenty one million bucks, and that even if

297
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: they wanted to pay him, they couldn't, and that it's

298
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: just these guys. Not only does you treat every turned

299
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: ankle like that, it might need to be amputated, is

300
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 2: it which is constantly complaining about the game? What happened

301
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 2: to the game? I love? You don't even have the

302
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: facts right, and you're like, oh, this guy's gonna get paid.

303
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 2: He's not a pending free agent. He already got paid.

304
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: In your defense, it's not like he had been a

305
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: big player in a seven game series. Oh wait, he

306
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 2: had been the second best guy on the team that

307
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 2: was winning the series.

308
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 5: First.

309
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: It's terrible you think he was better than Jimmy for

310
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: the entirety of the series.

311
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 5: Over I think not majority majority see that entirety.

312
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: I thought he was better in Game seven. I thought

313
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: Jimmy was better over the entirety of the series, and

314
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: also Jimmy had obviously a bigger defensive focus, but it's

315
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 2: detestament to him that it was even close. One last

316
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 2: Celtics question for you, Pale, because I know you got

317
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 2: to get to actual work. Would you bring back Missoula?

318
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: I mean, would you bring back Missoula?

319
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 5: What are the coaches that I can get instead of

320
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 5: Missoula blast in the past with Doc Rivers or something.

321
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think you'd want Doc Rivers. I want

322
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: them got hired in Houston. He would have been a

323
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 2: good fit.

324
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 5: What'd you say, I said i'd want him for his

325
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 5: Game seven strategies.

326
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh yeah.

327
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 5: I mean I don't Yeah, maybe given another year. I'm

328
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 5: not totally anti Missoula, but I do think if they're

329
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 5: you know, coaches that have proven themselves already, then maybe yeah,

330
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 5: pick those guys up. But uh, I don't want row before.

331
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,919
Speaker 5: I want Missoula out.

332
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 2: Wow, just all the way out on Jalen Brown. Also,

333
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: is someone going to write the story about how he

334
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: actually cut his hand or are we still going to

335
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 2: go with the I cut it picking up a broken

336
00:22:54,600 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 2: vase huh. Like, as Tom Ziller said, listen, you don't

337
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 2: have to tell me how you broke your hand. You

338
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: cut your hand, but please don't think I'm dumb enough

339
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: to believe that you were picking up broken glass as

340
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 2: if it were trail mix and that's how you did it,

341
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: because you cut your hand before the playoffs started, and

342
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: in Game five it was reportedly gushing blood. Come on,

343
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: man and listen. I like Jalen Brown. I like him

344
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: as a person. I like what he represents off the court.

345
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 2: But he seemed like he was really bothered, really bothered

346
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 2: by all the trade rumors and it came to a head,

347
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 2: and now he's almost cursed by the fact that the

348
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: Celtics that he made second team All NBA. So it'd

349
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 2: be five years, two hundred and ninety million. So I

350
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 2: think major changes ahead in Boston. I would absolutely be

351
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 2: in on seeing if Damian Lillard is interested in coming

352
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: to town and you can cover up some of Lillard's

353
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: defensive weaknesses with everyone else. But a starting five of

354
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: because I I don't know what's next for for Horford

355
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: if we're being totally honest here, but a starting five

356
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 2: of Marcus Smart, Damian Lillard, Derek White. If you want

357
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: to go three guards, that might be too small, but Tatum,

358
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 2: Robert Williams and then Derek White, I guess could come

359
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 2: off the bench. You you got to fill in the

360
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: blank on the wingspot. You want to start Grant Williams.

361
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: Maybe if Horford's still gonna be there, you start too, Bigs.

362
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: That's a team that works, So listen, Pal, go ahead, Demanta,

363
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: you can have a last word on your Celtics.

364
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 5: That's that's not a bad It's not a bad team

365
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 5: at all. I've got faith in that team. But I've

366
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 5: I've got one more question for you, be Finally, did

367
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 5: you did you hedge that that heat bet that you placed?

368
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 5: Did you hedge it or no? So you're lie on air?

369
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 2: What do you mean? I'm lying?

370
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 5: You're lying?

371
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?

372
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 5: Okay?

373
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 2: What am I lying about?

374
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 5: What do you say? So you didn't you didn't hedge?

375
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 5: You didn't bet the Nuggets to win the series? Maybe

376
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 5: after your little what? What? What was what were the

377
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 5: odds on the heat? No?

378
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I bet the You're confused? Oh? I

379
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: bet the heat?

380
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 5: You know what?

381
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 2: I bet?

382
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 5: That's my mistake. That's my mistake. I thought, you bet

383
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 5: the Heat to win the finals.

384
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 2: I did yesterday before Game seven. Okay, I bet the.

385
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 5: Heat, not the Eastern Conference Finals, the finals to beat

386
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 5: the Nuggets. You bet?

387
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 2: Okay, just be quiet for a moment because you're getting

388
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: confused by the people in there. Yesterday, before Game seven

389
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: tipped off, I had no bets going The only bet

390
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 2: I had going into these playoffs was the Lakers at

391
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 2: fifty to one. I didn't head that that lost. Going

392
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 2: into last night, I made two wagers, a significant amount

393
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: of money on the Heat to win the game at

394
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 2: plus two seventy and a taste, a small amount of

395
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 2: money on the Heat to win the NBA Championship in

396
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 2: the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty three at thirteen

397
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 2: to one. The Heat money line bet already paid. And

398
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 2: now I have sitting out there a small bet on

399
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: the Heat at thirteen to one to win the title,

400
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: which now has already four xt in value because they're

401
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 2: like three to one to win the title against the Nuggets.

402
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: And of course I didn't hedge it because I'm a gambler.

403
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: I'm not a stock trader or a coward. I'm here

404
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: to gamble.

405
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 5: What's up the small bet was all I needed to hear.

406
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 2: Okay, listen, all of a sudden, Demand's gonna pretend he's

407
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: a big Michael Porter junior and Jamal Murray fan because

408
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 2: he's so in pain about his Boston Celtics losing to

409
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat as opposed to what you should be

410
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 2: rooting for is the Heat to win, because then you

411
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 2: can convince yourself the Celtics and back to back years

412
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: were the second best team in the league, not their fault.

413
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 2: They lost to the Warriors and then lost to the champions.

414
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: If the Heat get rolled, then the Celtics gotta feel like,

415
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 2: oh man, we're far away, but that's fine. We should

416
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: throw can we throw up? I mean, Demonde just gave

417
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: it to us. But here's Demond's tweet from last night.

418
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 2: If we can throw it up here in just a moment,

419
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 2: just give the Nuggets the ring and Yoki his Finals

420
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: MVP in the morning and call it a day. The

421
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 2: ich Man I could taste the saltiness from through the screen.

422
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 5: That's all right, And listen, that wasn't coming from a

423
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 5: place of hate. That was just me coming from like

424
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 5: the Celtics played a bad series. They're gonna play the

425
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 5: Nuggets and they're gonna get destroyed. Like that's just the.

426
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 2: Honest truth is. People thought the Heat had no Let

427
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: me ask you this before you move on. If it

428
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: would have been Celtics Nuggets, would you have given the

429
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 2: Celtics a chance.

430
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 5: A much bigger chance than the Heat.

431
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: Yes, so yes, you'd have given them a chance. If

432
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 2: it would have been Bucks nuggets, would you have given

433
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 2: the Bucks a chance?

434
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 5: Yes, I would have given them a better chance.

435
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: Okay, the Heat just kicked both of their asses. This

436
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 2: is what is so frustrating to me. Everyone's like, oh,

437
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 2: the Heat, couldn't the Heat beat the Bucks? And then

438
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: people were like, they're gonna lose to the Knicks. Huh.

439
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 2: Then they wash out the Knicks. People are like, oh,

440
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: they got no shot against the Celtics. Then they go

441
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 2: up three nothing on Boston and then win a Game

442
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: seven on the road, and they're like, but now they're

443
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: gonna get crushed by the Nuggets. The Heat are going

444
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: to be We're gonna have an image in two weeks

445
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: of Jimmy Butler holding the Larry O'Brien Trophy and the

446
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: Bill Russell Finals MVP Trophy in two weeks and people

447
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 2: are gonna go on TV the next day and be like,

448
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: you know what, I don't think that faking good. Hey,

449
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable. They're gonna beat everybody, and people are gonna

450
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 2: be like, I don't know that I believe in them.

451
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: They have too many undrafted guys. Meanwhile, the undrafted players

452
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 2: keep busting everyone's ass. What No, I've come around. I've

453
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: come around on Jokic, he did you know what, let's

454
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: just get to demand say you're dismissed, thank you for

455
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 2: coming in doora take back over. Let's do a finals preview,

456
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: even though I just kind of did it.

457
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 3: Okay, The finals are officially set with Game one and

458
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 3: denverth on Thursday. Yeah, according to Demanza, the season is

459
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 3: already over. Denver will be rested and Miami will be gassed.

460
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 3: So who are you picking the Heat or the Nuggets.

461
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: The Nuggets are a better team, and the Nuggets offense

462
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: right now looks pretty unstoppable. And I did think the

463
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 2: Lakers were really really good and the Nuggets beat them

464
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 2: four oh. No those competitive games where they beat them

465
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 2: four oh. But I'm gonna go with the Heat. Wow,

466
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 2: I I'm gonna give you, Uh, did you just break

467
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 2: the microphone? Are we good? I'm just asking if we

468
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: need Are we good? Okay? I think Michael Malone's focus

469
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 2: and constant haranguing of the media because god forbid, we

470
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 2: spend a few days after they swept the Lakers of

471
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 2: still talking about the Lakers because the Lakers are interesting

472
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: and the Lakers employee the greatest player in the history

473
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 2: of the league who contemplated retirement was a little pathetics

474
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 2: too strong of a word, but embarrassing when Tom Brady

475
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: lost to the Tennessee Titans in his final game as

476
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 2: a Patriot and was contemplating retirement and didn't know what

477
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 2: he was gonna do if that was gonna be his

478
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: last game. Guess what, we spent more time talking about

479
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: Brady and the Patriots than we did the Titans. That's

480
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: not an indictment on the media. That is serving the customer.

481
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: The Nuggets now have center stage for two weeks and

482
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: Jokic has answered all of the questions, even his biggest

483
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: critic has about him doing it on a deep playoff run.

484
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: But the Heat are laser focused and they have an

485
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 2: extra bit of motivation, not that they need it, but

486
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 2: it's interesting, which is two years ago, Nikolajokic cheap shot

487
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: at Mark Keith Morris when he was on the Heat

488
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: knocked him out for the season with whiplash. And this

489
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 2: was when the Nuggets Michael Malone benefited from the fact

490
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 2: that we don't discuss them that much because it was

491
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: an egregious cheap shot that knocked someone out for the season,

492
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 2: and Jokis got a total pass on it, and it

493
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: happened just a couple months after he had gotten thrown

494
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 2: out of his final playoff game of the year with

495
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: a different cheap shot. I just think that this Heat

496
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: team is a team of destiny and this was an

497
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 2: amazing first second step for the Nuggets on their quest

498
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 2: to an eventual championship. And this is the final step

499
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 2: for my Miami's been banging on this door for a

500
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 2: few years now, and I think this is the year

501
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: they get through. So I'll take the Heat, and I

502
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 2: know that Vegas disagrees, and I know the analytics disagree.

503
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: I'll take the Heat with Tyler Hero coming back mid

504
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: series and adding a bit of a spark for them,

505
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 2: So the Heat in six is my pick, all right,

506
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 2: last one before we move on because we're going late again.

507
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 3: The NFL season hasn't started, but Jimmy G is already injured. Luckily,

508
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 3: they already have their replacement, soon to be minority owner,

509
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 3: Tom Brady. Remember Brady wanted to be a player owner

510
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 3: in Miami. Is Brady getting exactly what he wanted in

511
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 3: Las Vegas?

512
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 5: So no.

513
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 2: First of all, the Jimmy G thing is odd. Credit

514
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: to Mike Florio for getting it, for getting this story

515
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: and having it having the actual contract details. Jimmy G's

516
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 2: pro probably gonna eventually pass his physical and probably gonna

517
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 2: eventually play for the Raiders. And I'm listen, I am

518
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 2: not disregarding the possibility that Tom Brady does play for them.

519
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 2: I think it is on the board. I don't think

520
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 2: it's I think it's complicated because as an owner, you're

521
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 2: not really allowed to play. The other teams would have

522
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: to agree. But I think it's on the board. But

523
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: the Raiders offensive line is not very good, in their

524
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 2: defense stinks, and they're in a division with the best

525
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 2: quarterback ever to live. So this is not a situation

526
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 2: like him going to San Francisco with a ready made team,

527
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: or even him going to Miami with a far better

528
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: team than they have in Las Vegas. Right now, the

529
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: Raiders right now are tied for the second lowest projected

530
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 2: win total with the ahead of only the Cardinals, tied

531
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 2: with the Texans and the Colts, and terrible in the

532
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 2: Bucks in the rams. So I don't think this would

533
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 2: be a good final act for Tom, but I do

534
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: think he still might want to play. And so it's

535
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: on the board. Uh, all right, that's it for the

536
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 2: A block. We're gonna talk a little bit about Lebron's Instagram, sorry,

537
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 2: Michael Malone, and then we're gonna play a game and

538
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 2: then we'll get to your questions in the C block.

539
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 2: That's all next, What's right?

548
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 3: Welcome Back, Episode one fifty five. So we're gonna start

549
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 3: our second block with a course more talk about Lebron.

550
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 3: Lebron took to Instagram with a cryptic message, quoting Jay Z.

551
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 3: Charles Barkley said that he thought Lebron intentionally teased retirement

552
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 3: to shift conversation. Are you ready to speculate on Lebron's

553
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 3: future again? Are you scared Mike Malone will come after you?

554
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not scared Michael Malone's gonna come after me.

555
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 2: I also think this criticism of Lebron is bananas. The

556
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 2: idea that Lebron needed to shift the conversation when he

557
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: had in Game four, had forty ten to nine, playing

558
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: the entire game and just had by far the best

559
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: old guy playoff game in the history of basketball is

560
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 2: just nonsense. And yes, he got swept. Nobody was like, ah,

561
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: Lebron didn't do enough, he didn't melt down, There was

562
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: none of that. Do I think Lebron is retiring? No,

563
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: My money wouldn't be on it. Do I think it's

564
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 2: on the board. Yes? Do I think that the Western

565
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 2: Conference Finals were a moment of basketball mortality in his face, Yes,

566
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 2: because I believe, and I said this for I will

567
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 2: say it again. For the first time in his life

568
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 2: as a basketball player, he felt like, man, I played

569
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: as well as I could and someone was better than me.

570
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: Jokics was better than him in that series. And it's

571
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: not because the moment was too big. It's not because

572
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 2: Lebron it melted down like in the Dallas series. It

573
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 2: was that he's thirty eight sixty five thousand minutes in

574
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 2: and is still arguably, inarguably one of the ten best

575
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 2: players and arguably come the playoffs one of the five

576
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: best players in the league, but not or inarguably also

577
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 2: not the best anymore. And I think that was a

578
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: tough moment. And if you then add to it, if

579
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 2: his son has privately told him either a, I think

580
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 2: I'm gonna my plan to stay in college for three

581
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 2: years or no matter when I come out, I don't

582
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 2: want to be on the same team as you. I

583
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 2: think it's bad for me. It excuse me. If any

584
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 2: of that stuff has happened, and Lebron is like, well,

585
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 2: if I'm not gonna be able to play with Bronni anyway,

586
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 2: is twenty years, breaking Kareem's record, going on a nice

587
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 2: playoff run, having a game where I played all forty

588
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 2: eight minutes and had forty ten to nine be my

589
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: final game. I think it's I think he's considering all

590
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 2: of it. But this idea that he was just in

591
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 2: a Machiavellian way trying to shift the conversation because what

592
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 2: he was afraid that people were gonna criticize him because

593
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: he didn't make the game winner in Game four. I

594
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: just think that was nonsense. I think it was nonsense.

595
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 2: Now does he put out Instagram stuff to make sure

596
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 2: he stays in the conversation, Sure, but I think it's genuine,

597
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 2: I really do. All right, let's play the game.

598
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Okay, So now we're gonna play a game

599
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 3: of two wrongs in one right, So our first one is.

600
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins was released by the Cardinals last week. The

601
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 3: star receiver is a free agent for the first time

602
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 3: in his career. Hopskins should be a chief, a bill,

603
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 3: a raven all.

604
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 2: Right, deaf listen. He's an excellent player, even as he's

605
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 2: gotten older, He's got as good a hands as anyone

606
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 2: in football, and he would help anybody, But the Chiefs

607
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 2: don't need him, and they have invested enough draft capital

608
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 2: the trade for Kadarius Tony, the second round pick on

609
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 2: sky Moore, the second round pick on roche Rice that

610
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 2: I think they want to get those guys the reps

611
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 2: and the opportunities, and they proved last year they don't

612
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 2: need a star receiver to win the Super Bowl. So

613
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be a Chief The Ravens

614
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 2: wouldn't make sense, but they signed Odell. I'd like him

615
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: to go to the Ravens. They signed Odell, they spent

616
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 2: a first rounder on Bateman, they have spent resources on

617
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 2: the position. I don't think he's gonna be a raven.

618
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 2: The Bills, on the other hand, never caught up with

619
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: the Chiefs and now have been passed by the Bengals

620
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 2: and could be passed by other teams. And they don't

621
00:40:55,120 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: have a number two receiver alongside Stefan Diggs. The Bills

622
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 2: need him, and I think the Bills are the team

623
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: that makes the most sense. Next.

624
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 3: Okay, DK Metcalf called out Tyreek Hill for ducking his

625
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 3: race challenges for over two years. The fastest player in

626
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 3: the league is Tyreek Hill, DK Metcalf or somebody else.

627
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 2: Listen. I'm if it's somebody else, I don't know who

628
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 2: would be. It's not Dk Metcalf. He's like the fastest

629
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: in the league pound for pound, as far as how

630
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 2: big he is, Tyreek Hill is with the ball in

631
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 2: his hands, especially when you incorporate the ability to decelerate

632
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 2: and accelerate out of nowhere. The fastest player in league

633
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: history as far as football tangible useful speed goes, it's

634
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill and then a big gap between him and

635
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 2: second place.

636
00:41:55,520 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 3: Next, okay, next one. Aaron Rodgers dropped a bombshell on

637
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 3: the Internet by confirming that he is a Swiftie and

638
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 3: attended a Taylor Swift concert with Miles Tyler. He's been

639
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 3: all over NYC lately. Aaron Rodgers is one of us

640
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 3: trying too hard. Are still on aya? Dang it ayahuasca?

641
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 2: Good job?

642
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,439
Speaker 3: I got it? Yeah, I got it.

643
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 2: Before the show. I tried to go over that with

644
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 2: you or I went over it three times, I know,

645
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 2: and that last time we went over you got a

646
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 2: little annoyed with me. You're like, I got it, I

647
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 2: got it, and then you know I wasn't almost almost joking.

648
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: You're an I don't know what one of us means,

649
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 2: but that's certainly he's certainly not that, and that's fine.

650
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 2: So that's wrong. Trying too hard, I think is right,

651
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 2: and still on ayahuasca, might think.

652
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 3: I was trying too hard. You don't think he's actually

653
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 3: a swiftye.

654
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 2: Well, I just think that like all of the public

655
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 2: appearances stuff. Listen, after being in Green Bay all that time,

656
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 2: I get why being in New York City is exciting

657
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 2: and fun, but I think it's intentional and no, I

658
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 2: do believe maybe he likes Taylor Swift, just like I

659
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 2: think he enjoyed going to the hockey in the basketball games.

660
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 2: But I do think he is making a point, and

661
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 2: that's fine. It's not necessarily a bad thing to ingratiate

662
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 2: himself to New York City and to be out in

663
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 2: the public, which is fun and exciting for him, so

664
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 2: I think. But it's a little bit trying to art

665
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 2: and I think do I think he's still taking some

666
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 2: of hallucinogens. Absolutely, there's no question about it. We have

667
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 2: a follow up Taylor Swift question, Deora.

668
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 3: Yes, so the Tan Swift song that best describes the

669
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 3: Jets season is love Story, bad Blood, This is me try.

670
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 2: Okay, are you a Taylor Swift fan.

671
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 3: I'm more of a fan of our older music, like

672
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 3: you Belong with Me in our song and like stuff

673
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 3: like that.

674
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm people are gonna say I'm lying here.

675
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: I think you can vouch for me. I obviously have

676
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 2: heard probably one hundred Taylor Swift songs, but I can't

677
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 2: identify any of it.

678
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 3: You definitely could identify bad Blood.

679
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 2: I'm no. What I'm saying is if I heard it,

680
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 2: I know that I would be like, oh, yeah, I've

681
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 2: heard this song, but when you read me those names,

682
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 2: I can't try.

683
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 3: I've never heard of that one.

684
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 2: But I also I like, can't hear it in my

685
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 2: head bad Blood, like you know what I mean. You

686
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 2: know sometimes when you hear a song, you can play

687
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 2: it in your head. I have no idea what any

688
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 2: of these sound like. None I forgot was. But I

689
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 2: think the song that will best describe the Jets season

690
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 2: is this is Me trying. I do think they're doing

691
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 2: their best, and again I'm basing this just off the titles,

692
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 2: but I don't think it's going to be enough, And

693
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna go with This is Me Trying is

694
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 2: the song. I don't think it'd be a love story

695
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 2: because I don't think it's gonna go beautifully. I don't

696
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be bad Blood because I don't think

697
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,720
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a disaster. I think they're gonna try

698
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 2: and just not be good enough. All right? Last one?

699
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 3: Okay. Succession a story about a media icon with three

700
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 3: kids wrapped up Sunday. The child to succeed Nick on

701
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 3: what's right will be Demanse, me or Deanna. I'm gonna

702
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 3: say Deanna.

703
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: I'm she would be my last pick. Really yeah, I

704
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:24,439
Speaker 2: don't think she's interested. I don't think she I think

705
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 2: she likes being in front of the camera and she

706
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 2: likes doing it, uh and she likes feeling like a star.

707
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 2: But I don't think. I just think she has no

708
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,919
Speaker 2: interest whatsoever. What what do you think I'll say?

709
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 3: I think you'll say me and then Demanse. But I'm

710
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 3: gonna say Demanse and then me.

711
00:45:51,760 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 2: So here's the thing. I don't I think Demanse might

712
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: use this show to launch his own thing. You understand

713
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 2: what I mean? Like, I think Demanse will it's it's

714
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 2: for a lot of different reasons. There is there in succession.

715
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 2: You know, this was a tortured example of it. But

716
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 2: it's always a tough thing when you have a prominent

717
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: father as a boy. And I dealt with this in

718
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 2: a different way because my dad was one of the listen.

719
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 2: He was a firefighter and the president of the firefighters

720
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 2: union in Kansas City. But he was so entrenched in

721
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 2: the Kansas City political scene as far as the firefighters

722
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 2: union was a massive voting block and very influential, and

723
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 2: he ran for city council at one point. They considered

724
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 2: him for a judgeship at one point, and to this

725
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 2: day is in you know, involved in Kansady politics and

726
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: was the guy at the Kansaity Firefighters Union that there

727
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 2: was when I was growing up, a lot of his

728
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 2: friends assumed I would go become a firefighter and then

729
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 2: I'd follow him his footsteps in the union. And because

730
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 2: he casts such a large shadow in that world, I

731
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 2: had no interest in it, but I wanted to kind

732
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 2: of establish my own thing outside of it. For Demanse

733
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 2: in like sports media, it's a weird spot for him

734
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 2: because of who I am. So I think that he

735
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 2: would if he wants to go into this type of

736
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 2: thing on a more full time basis. He will want

737
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 2: to brand jaw off and build it on his own.

738
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 2: You're correct that I would pick you because you have

739
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 2: so little interest in actual sports media that I think

740
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: you would correctly figure out that if you end up

741
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 2: continuing on the path that you're on, which is to

742
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 2: be in front of the camera, on the stage and acting,

743
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 2: that this is a good vehicle to keep people, to

744
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: get in front of eyeballs of people who might not

745
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,280
Speaker 2: you know, and to potentially have somebody like, oh, she's

746
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 2: someone that should audition for whatever. Does that make sense

747
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Do you think I'm at all and

748
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 2: I'm on to something at all?

749
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 3: I mean you've told me this before.

750
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 2: I know, But now that you've done it for a

751
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 2: couple of months, do you think I'm onto something? Yeah? Sure, Yeah,

752
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:02,240
Speaker 2: so you're still skeptical. But Yora did open the door

753
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 2: to when the Bridge project is over, it's continuing to

754
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 2: do this podcast for.

755
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 3: And I didn't slam it.

756
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 2: You walked through it. Now. She immediately said what does

757
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 2: it pay? Which I feel.

758
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 3: I feel that's completely fair.

759
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 2: Really an apprenticeship.

760
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 3: Apprenticeship right now, like.

761
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 2: Back when you know, yeah, but it doesn't. Apprenticeships don't

762
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 2: last two months, I mean the last two years back

763
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 2: in the day, like if you wanted to become a cobbler,

764
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 2: you will.

765
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 3: To me, I'm not becoming a cobbler.

766
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,760
Speaker 2: Went to the town cobbler and learned at his heel,

767
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 2: No pun intended. Do you know why that would have

768
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 2: been a pun? Because cobblers make shoes, uh for a

769
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 2: few years, and then you become a cobbler yourself. Uh

770
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, my answer is diorra And I think Demands

771
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 2: could spin this off into his own thing, maybe a

772
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 2: competing podcast. Could you imagine if demonsas like I'm going

773
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 2: out on my own and I'm releasing them on the

774
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 2: same day at the same time as you, and try

775
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,720
Speaker 2: to splinter off our YouTube audience. I could see it happening.

776
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 2: I could listen. I could see it happening. That's the

777
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 2: other thing again. I know you're gonna say this is

778
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 2: like gender normative or something, but like the father son dynamic,

779
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,359
Speaker 2: it can be. It's really good, but it also can

780
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 2: get competitive at times. It can get a little Harry.

781
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 2: You saw it right there when he was in there

782
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 2: with the Celtics. He's very upset that I once again,

783
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 2: once again, even when I took the underdog, I had

784
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 2: the upper hand. So that's a good segment. We have

785
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 2: questions to answer from you guys. Yeah, take a very

786
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 2: quick break, answer your questions in the sea block. What's right?

787
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,720
Speaker 3: Welcome back, Episode one five. So now we're gonna answer

788
00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 3: listener questions. But first, okay, but first I wanted to

789
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 3: comment on how we were talking and saying how surprising

790
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 3: it was that you weren't a Taylor Shift fan. But

791
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,799
Speaker 3: I just wanted all the listeners to know how big

792
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 3: of an Olivia Rodrigo fan, oh you are.

793
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 2: She's awesome.

794
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 3: It's it's insane.

795
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 2: She's great. I think she's really a very talented artist.

796
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 2: So I had never heard of her. She was already

797
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 2: very popular. I give the full background here. And then

798
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 2: I was scrolling Twitter one day, maybe eighteen months ago,

799
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, and someone tweeted just like, let's not

800
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 2: forget what a brilliant debut video Olivia Rodrigo had, and

801
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 2: what song was it. It's the one where she's dressed

802
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 2: as a cheerleader. It was good for you, good for you,

803
00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 2: whatever video it was, And so I watched the video. Oh,

804
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 2: and I couldn't believe how talented this kid was. She

805
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 2: had to be seventeen at the time, right, he was like.

806
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 2: And so I then asked Diora. I was like, do

807
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 2: you know who Olivia Rodrigo is? And she said, yeah,

808
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 2: of course I do. And you like her a lot?

809
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 2: And what go ahead, I'm a fan. Well you at

810
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 2: the time, okay, yeah, you at the time, you said yeah.

811
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 2: I think at the time maybe you liked her more.

812
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 2: Whatever it was. So then Dior and I started listening

813
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 2: to that album and I thought it had like five

814
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 2: awesome songs on it. I'm not ashamed of that.

815
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 3: No, I'm not saying that you should be ashamed, but

816
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like you being Olivia Rodrigo

817
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 3: fan is like the equivalent of you being a Taylor

818
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 3: Swift fan.

819
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 2: Oh maybe Victor saying no, Victor likes Olivia Rodrigo as well. Good.

820
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm not saying.

821
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 3: It's a bad thing. I'm not saying it's a bad

822
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 3: thing at all.

823
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I listen, I am always. Here's one

824
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:03,920
Speaker 2: of the things about being about being a parent. Whenever

825
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 2: someone is like the how old is she got.

826
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 3: She's gotta be. I'm guessing she's like twenty now, maybe

827
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 3: maybe eighteen, so I'm looking, I mean, maybe nineteen.

828
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:20,240
Speaker 2: But so Olivia Rodrigo Wikipedia so she just turned twenty.

829
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 2: So whenever someone is about the same age as your kids,

830
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 2: there's like a different appreciation for you know what else,

831
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 2: I like a lot gosh darn it white girl whose

832
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 2: brother writes her song. At least Billie Eilish, I there's

833
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 2: like a oh my god, like I it's not because

834
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 2: like they've necessarily like, oh, look at what they've accomplished

835
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 2: her Mike, but it's you know, all the regular stuff

836
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 2: they're going through as teenagers, as young people, and during

837
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 2: that time become this type of megastar I think is impressive. Yeah.

838
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 2: I think Billie Eilish has some really good songs. I

839
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 2: think Livia Rodrigo has some really good songs. And your

840
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 2: mom makes fun of me because my all time she says,

841
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 2: I shouldn't even say this public publicly, but my all

842
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 2: time favorite song is I Want to Dance with Somebody

843
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:23,359
Speaker 2: by Whitney Houston. It just makes me happy. I don't know,

844
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 2: I just think it's delightful, delightful it is and so yeah, no,

845
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 2: I have no. So that's the thing is if I

846
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 2: liked Taylor Swift, I wouldn't run from it or be

847
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 2: ashamed of it. No, no, but uh, but yeah, I

848
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 2: think some of these I I it's interesting because my

849
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,439
Speaker 2: favorite music is hip hop music, and now is where

850
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 2: I'm just sound like an old man. But the youngest,

851
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 2: the newest hip hop artists, I like very few of them.

852
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 2: I really only like like the most popular artists of

853
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 2: the last three four years. I really only like the

854
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 2: female ones.

855
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 3: Really.

856
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 2: I don't like like Lil Yachti, the Uzi verse.

857
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 3: Okay, let's not let's not go on Uzzi here.

858
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 2: No, I listen the I think the last.

859
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 3: Feel like nobody cannot like Uzzi exactly.

860
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm saying, And I don't, but I

861
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 2: thought the I think the newest artist that I've really

862
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 2: liked and at this point she's probably in super popular

863
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 2: for four years, is Megan. But my favorite artists are

864
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 2: Jay Z, Wayne, Kanye before he went crazy.

865
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 3: Yeah it's so yeah, and so Drake.

866
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 2: Drake at this point, those been amazing.

867
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 3: But I'm saying he's I feel like he's like still

868
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 3: he's in the category with those.

869
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 2: Although yeah, he's he's.

870
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 3: He's not there yet, but he's he's pretty high up.

871
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,839
Speaker 2: Oh no, no no, and he's building an all time resume. But

872
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,439
Speaker 2: he's newer than jay Z and Wayne, around the same

873
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:16,720
Speaker 2: era as Kanye that. But the as far as new music,

874
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 2: I think the new music that I like the most

875
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 2: is like that poppy stuff by I'll tell you another

876
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 2: person that I didn't know that I liked.

877
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 3: Gosh darn it, this is whatever it is, it's gonna

878
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 3: make me laugh at I don't even know what it is.

879
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 2: Handsome British guy.

880
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 3: Harry Style.

881
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

882
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 3: Really one of.

883
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 2: His songs is just awesome. It does it just there

884
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 2: are certain songs that you hear and you like, can't

885
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 2: help but like either tap your Foot, which song of

886
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 2: his most popular one.

887
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,799
Speaker 3: As it was, I'm guessing I don't know.

888
00:56:55,880 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 2: It's big and sounds like a party, so yeah, so

889
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 2: like I. As far as newer music, I like the

890
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 2: poppier stuff and as far as like my favorite music,

891
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 2: it's the it's the era of hip hop from when

892
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 2: I was your age.

893
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 3: I've been really liking twenty one Savage lately, so would you.

894
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 2: But he's not that new. He's not newer than Meghan.

895
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 3: He's yeah, he's he came around the same time or

896
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 3: before Megan.

897
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 2: Maybe I've already got a little bit. Cardi b is

898
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 2: before Meghan by about a year or two. Yeah, no, no, no,

899
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 2: but I'm just the last four years, like the whether

900
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 2: it be Ice Spice or either of the babies or

901
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 2: dub Baby, I don't love either one of them. I

902
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:51,479
Speaker 2: just don't. I just the a lot of the mumble rap.

903
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of. Okay, all right, let's

904
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 2: let's answer some of these listener questions where we wrap

905
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 2: up the show.

906
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 3: Okay, so, no, Roger, you guys asked, what's a good

907
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 3: wager between you and producer Dan for the finals? Maybe

908
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 3: if the Nuggets win, you wear a Yoki jersey and

909
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 3: if Miami wins, Dan wears a Jimmy or Lebron jersey.

910
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,919
Speaker 2: I got a better one. If the Nuggets win, Dan

911
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 2: gets to keep his job, and if they don't, he doesn't.

912
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,919
Speaker 2: How about that one? Wow? Next?

913
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 3: Oh right, then, okay.

914
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 2: Chico forty two.

915
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was getting there. Go ahead, Chico forty two.

916
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 3: Oh wait, there's a follow up question.

917
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 2: To oh Dan. Dan says it looks like I'm staying employed. Oh,

918
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 2: he's very confident. Okay, look at Dan. Look at old

919
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 2: producer Dan. He's grinning back there, grinning back there, looking great.

920
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 2: All right. Next, Chico forty two. What he say?

921
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 3: He said, if the Heat win, which is which is unlikely,

922
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 3: we're just going to see We're just going to see

923
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 3: teams further ignore the regular season.

924
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 4: Right.

925
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 2: I don't think so, because the Heat are a unique

926
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,439
Speaker 2: case in that they made the finals a few years ago.

927
00:58:57,560 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 2: Last year they were the one seed and made it

928
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 2: to Game seven of the conference finals. It's not like

929
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,720
Speaker 2: they have regularly thrown away the regular season. I think

930
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 2: if the Warriors had won because they were just openly

931
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 2: talking about not caring about the regular season, you had

932
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 2: Wiggins take two months off, that would have been different.

933
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 2: The Heat just hadn't figured out their lineups, their young

934
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,440
Speaker 2: undrafted players hadn't improved enough. So I don't think it

935
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 2: would be as damaging actually if the Heat win, because

936
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 2: I think it'll be just thought of as this is

937
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 2: a special thing about the Heat. All right. Next?

938
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 3: Okay, jack Jack higg.

939
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 2: Knight, Jackson Higknite, Yeah, go ahead.

940
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 3: Jackson higg Knight says now that the Heat of secured

941
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,360
Speaker 3: a final spot. Should Yannis get a little bit more

942
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 3: slack for getting beaten round one?

943
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 2: Maybe? Now that the heat just keep beating people losing

944
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 2: to name, doesn't.

945
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 3: I remember that conversation about Giannis. He didn't. I feel

946
00:59:58,200 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 3: as if he didn't deserve it then and he did

947
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 3: doesn't deserve it. Yeah, he's too nice to get all

948
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 3: that hate.

949
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 2: You know, I somewhat agree with you. I don't even

950
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 2: got a ton of hate, but you got some criticism.

951
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think the more the heat when the

952
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 2: less bad that loss looks. I think that's right, all right.

953
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 3: Next, Okay, Andrew Rockenhaws said, question for me, how does

954
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 3: the rest of the family react in public when someone

955
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 3: asks for your picture? For autographs? No one's ever asked

956
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,439
Speaker 3: you for an autograph. While I don't think people ask

957
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 3: for them really, but pictures, that's usually just like a

958
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 3: quick thing unless they're like, yeah, like Lebron sucks man like,

959
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 3: but no one really.

960
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 2: People are very ninety percent of people are nice when

961
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 2: you meet them.

962
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 3: And I always find it really funny when people just like, hey,

963
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 3: are you that guy from ESPN? And then and then

964
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, yeah, I'm not a fan. Of yours.

965
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 3: But ye, can I have a picture like It's just like.

966
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 2: The Usually people are very nice sometimes and people are

967
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 2: never intrusive. What does happen sometimes is all be walking

968
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 2: with your with your Indiana and DOORA will say like

969
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 2: those people were yeah, pointing at me or talking or whatever,

970
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 2: and I don't even notice it, but you notice it

971
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 2: and I just keep moving. But if ever by that

972
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 2: not that there's well, if you're watching this, you're probably

973
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,439
Speaker 2: one of the select people. If you ever see me out,

974
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 2: say hello.

975
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys that if you ever see me out, I'm

976
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 3: willing to you know, sign autographs, take pictures.

977
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 6: You know.

978
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 2: Anybody yet say they know you from the podcast? No?

979
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 3: Uh, not one person.

980
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 2: It happened.

981
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 3: I had a teacher in the middle school at the

982
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 3: school say something like, oh my god, I didn't know

983
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 3: you went here.

984
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 2: It happened to Demands a few months in. I think

985
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 2: it will happen to you eventually. But Demands had done

986
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 2: way more shows at that point than you had done

987
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 2: at this point. Also, can we say the thing about

988
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 2: the group chat or no? If you don't want to,

989
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 2: we don't want to know.

990
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about.

991
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 2: Uh, your potential college. What they said in the group chat.

992
01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that was yeah, go ahead.

993
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, So so diora University of California, Santa Cruz. There's

994
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 2: I don't even know what platform it's on, but there's

995
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 2: a group chat for people.

996
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 3: That this one was on Instagram.

997
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:39,200
Speaker 2: Okay, an Instagram group chat for people that might be

998
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 2: living in the same dorm as DIORA. Yeah, and what

999
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 2: did one of them post in the group chat.

1000
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 3: I had posted on my story a picture like a

1001
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 3: selfie of us, and then in the group chat of

1002
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 3: three hundred people, the sky just goes, oh my god,

1003
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:57,320
Speaker 3: you are nice to have you here. I didn't know

1004
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 3: your dad was Nick right, And I was just like,

1005
01:02:59,320 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 3: that's not me.

1006
01:03:02,120 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 2: Door straight. I what the guy said is you're on

1007
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 2: Nick Wright's podcast. Yeah, and Dior then just claimed that

1008
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 2: wasn't her, that she just posted the picture.

1009
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 3: I was like, sorry, that's not me, and he was like,

1010
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 3: oh my god, I'm so sorry. I don't know why

1011
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 3: I thought it was you. I'm so sorry. And I

1012
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 3: was like, no, I'm and he was like wait wait

1013
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 3: and I was like, yeah, it is me, it is me.

1014
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 2: All right, next question, Okay, I think it's William Turnbull.

1015
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 3: William Turnbull asked what player realistically helps the Lakers the most.

1016
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:37,919
Speaker 3: He doesn't think Kyrie works for depth. Do you think

1017
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 3: Malcolm Brogdon is a real option?

1018
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I wouldn't go with Brogden because of the

1019
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 2: age and the injury concern. I agree about Kyrie. Uh, Listen,

1020
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 2: I don't think they can get him. But Jeremy Grant

1021
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 2: would be perfect. Uh. But again, I don't know that

1022
01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 2: that's realistic, and I don't I'm not ready to answer

1023
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 2: that question yet, just because I haven't really studied what

1024
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:06,919
Speaker 2: the Lakers cap situation is gonna be. If they match

1025
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves and match Ruie and bring back Vanderbilt, they

1026
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:12,080
Speaker 2: might not have a lot of flexibility. He might be

1027
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 2: a lot of the same guys the big questions about DiAngelo.

1028
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 3: All right, next, okay, Josiah Diaz said, with Butler.

1029
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 2: Now assume to be a Hall of Famer.

1030
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,479
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer. Is it safe to say that he's

1031
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 3: the biggest All He's the biggest All seventy five snub

1032
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 3: In hindsight.

1033
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so at all. As it turns out,

1034
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 2: Jokic is probably a snub. Now that he won another

1035
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 2: MVP since then and now has made the finals. But

1036
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 2: the biggest snub was Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard had four

1037
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 2: top four MVP finishes, three Defensive Player of the Year awards,

1038
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 2: the best player on a finalist, and because the second

1039
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 2: half of his career didn't go the way people thought

1040
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 2: it should, people act like he wasn't utterly dominant for

1041
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 2: a half decade. So Dwight was the biggest snub, all right,

1042
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 2: last one?

1043
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 3: Joseph vanderwal asked Nick with the curse of Broussard alive

1044
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 3: and well, are you betting the farm against whoever Chris

1045
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:11,720
Speaker 3: picks to win the finals.

1046
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 2: Well, that's a perfect segue for the TV show today

1047
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 2: because my guess is Chris is gonna once again picking

1048
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 2: into the Miami Heat. His Celtics have been eliminated, and

1049
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 2: I mean Chris is at a rough playoffs when it

1050
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 2: comes to picking teams. There's no way around it, and

1051
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's gonna go with the Nuggets. He is

1052
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 2: not believed in the Heat and that makes my Heat

1053
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 2: thirteen to one ticket feel even better. We will see

1054
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 2: you guys on Thursday. Yeah, we will see you on

1055
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 2: TV at three o'clock today. What's right
