Speaker 5: We're already done with it.
Speaker 3: Welcome in.
Speaker 4: It is the What's Right with Nick Wright Podcast and
Speaker 4: videos show you can find on all streaming platforms. That's
Speaker 4: a lie, that's actually not streaming. Netflix not interested in
Speaker 4: buying the show. But you can get it on all
Speaker 4: podcast platforms and on YouTube and on maybe somewhere on
Speaker 4: the dark web. So subscribe, like rate review, do all
Speaker 4: those things before we get to what we are to
Speaker 4: on out today, Here's what we're not talking about today.
Speaker 4: The things that just barely missed the cut. Not on
Speaker 4: the show is Lamar Jackson's contract. Not on the show
Speaker 4: is one of the saddest quarterback controversies imaginable, Andy Dalton
Speaker 4: and Jameis Winston and the worst fit in that NFL
Speaker 4: coaches picture, which everybody knows which one of the worst
Speaker 4: fit was. That better option would be. Can you find
Speaker 4: three fits there that are not terribly embarrassing? But none
Speaker 4: of that actually made the show. We can start the
Speaker 4: clock right about now. If you're watching us, you will
Speaker 4: be able to see me try to beat the clock.
Speaker 4: I am zero five, by the way, in beating the
Speaker 4: clock as I rotate to Deman Demons, Good to see you,
Speaker 4: my friend. What are we starting with today? Let's start
Speaker 4: with the Lakers.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they got crushed by Dallas Tuesday and absolutely could
Speaker 6: miss the playoffs. You said they should trade everyone but
Speaker 6: Lebron and Ad, but the Ad trade rumors have already started.
Speaker 6: Should they trade a d And at this point, why
Speaker 6: would anyone even want to play with Lebron James?
Speaker 4: See see, you gotta throw that little stuff in there,
Speaker 4: like you gotta throw it. Why would any I don't know.
Speaker 4: Why would anyone want to paint with Picasso? Why would
Speaker 4: anyone want to compose with Mozart? I'm not sure. Seemed
Speaker 4: to be a fun thing to be able to tell
Speaker 4: your kids I did played with Lebron. James probably went
Speaker 4: to the finals. Probably want a championship. Like has there
Speaker 4: been Here's an interesting question that I gotta think on
Speaker 4: for a moment. In the last twelve years, has there
Speaker 4: been anyone who has played more than one season with
Speaker 4: Lebron and not made the NBA finals?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Wait, I don't have to think on that at all.
Speaker 4: The answers, No, there hasn't been because Lebron in the
Speaker 4: last twelve years hasn't gone more than one year without
Speaker 4: making the finals. Accept until that's probably going this year unfortunately.
Speaker 4: But to answer the questions, no, they should not trade
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis unless Lebron asks out.
Speaker 3: If Lebron asks out and.
Speaker 4: Says I don't want to be there and I do
Speaker 4: not think that's going to happen, then you can make
Speaker 4: the argument tear it all down to the studs.
Speaker 2: Trade AD.
Speaker 4: But for all of AD's flaws and we understand that
Speaker 4: they are there. Anthony Davis still gives you a far
Speaker 4: better chance to win next year's title with Lebron James
Speaker 4: alongside him than what you would what are You can
Speaker 4: trade him to Oklahoma City for SGA and a bunch
Speaker 4: of picks that might be good for the twenty twenty
Speaker 4: seven Lakers, but not good for the twenty twenty three Lakers,
Speaker 4: which is.
Speaker 3: What they have to be focused on.
Speaker 4: As Lebron enters year twenty coming off a season where
Speaker 4: he gives you thirty eight and six and they're terrible anyway.
Speaker 4: So I feel like the pendulum has swung a little
Speaker 4: too far against Anthony Davis. The injuries are a huge problem,
Speaker 4: but one playoffs to go, Anthony Davis matched up against
Speaker 4: Nikola Jokic and tortured him, and then in his first
Speaker 4: two NBA Finals games of his career, dropped thirty two
Speaker 4: and thirty four points in that playoff run. He averaged
Speaker 4: twenty eight to ten in his career in the playoffs.
Speaker 4: He has played thirty nine career playoff games, twenty nine
Speaker 4: of them he's gone for twenty five plus He's twenty seven.
Speaker 3: Points per game career in the playoffs. That's top ten
Speaker 3: all time.
Speaker 4: You are not going to get a better guy to
Speaker 4: be alongside Lebron in a playoff run than Anthony Davis
Speaker 4: in in any potential ad trade. Now, do the Lakers
Speaker 4: have to remake the entire roster?
Speaker 3: They do? Should Rob Polinka be a part of it?
Speaker 2: He shouldn't.
Speaker 3: Should Frank Vogel be coaching it?
Speaker 2: He shouldn't.
Speaker 4: But unless Lebron asks out, you don't trade Anthony Davis.
Speaker 3: All Right, it looks like we're going to stay in
Speaker 3: the NBA. What are we doing?
Speaker 2: Let's do it?
Speaker 6: Stay in the NBA. We've spent a lot of time
Speaker 6: talking Nets and Lakers. Yeah, but they're both fighting for
Speaker 6: the players. Yeah, they're actually both terrible. They're actually both
Speaker 6: bad basketball teams. Lakers are worse, but the Nets are pretty.
Speaker 6: The Nets are sometimes unwatchable as well. But what go ahead?
Speaker 2: No, a man? What Kyrie? I mean?
Speaker 6: Katie has definitely done a better job at picking his team.
Speaker 6: It's it's it's not let's move on. Okay. You know,
Speaker 6: while the Sun's Grizzlies Heat and celticsit the top of
Speaker 6: the conference, YEP is building super teams no longer the
Speaker 6: way to win in the NBA.
Speaker 3: I so here's the thing.
Speaker 4: I don't know that building super teams was ever the
Speaker 4: exact way to win. There was a level of well,
Speaker 4: if one guy's got a super if Lebron's got a
Speaker 4: super team, then I have to have a super team
Speaker 4: to combat that. But the way to win in the
Speaker 4: NBA has been incredibly consistent for oh the better part
Speaker 4: of forty years. You must have an APEX top five
Speaker 4: player in the league at a minimum, and then you
Speaker 4: fill in the surrounding hole. So if we just think
Speaker 4: about the champions, why did the Bucks win? Were the
Speaker 4: Bucks a super team? No, they were organically built for
Speaker 4: the most part, despite the Drew Holiday trade. But they
Speaker 4: had Giannis at the peak of his powers the year
Speaker 4: before the Lakers. Was that a super team, I would argue, No,
Speaker 4: it was two great players, but they were acquired in
Speaker 4: free agency and be a trade in Lebron and Ad.
Speaker 4: But you had Lebron at the peak or close to
Speaker 4: the peak of his powers. The year before it was
Speaker 4: Kawhi again, a guy who at the moment was top
Speaker 4: five guy.
Speaker 3: The peak of his powers.
Speaker 4: When it felt like you had to have a super
Speaker 4: team was when a team such as the Warriors that
Speaker 4: was a champion already, then added an MVP and Kevin Durant.
Speaker 4: Then it felt like, oh my god, how can anyone
Speaker 4: beat them? But it should be noted the team that
Speaker 4: came the closest to beating them, the only team to
Speaker 4: take those Warriors with KD a healthy Warriors with KDI
Speaker 4: passed five games, was a Rockets team that, yes they
Speaker 4: had added I did Chris Paul, but what they had
Speaker 4: was at the time James Harden, who was a league MVP,
Speaker 4: top five guy at the peak of his powers. So
Speaker 4: if you don't have one of those guys, then you
Speaker 4: must find a way to add as many, you know,
Speaker 4: players six to fifteen as possible, but that's probably not
Speaker 4: getting it done. So I've always thought it was a
Speaker 4: misnomer of oh, you must have a super team. You
Speaker 4: must have a pantheon guy, a guy that's going to
Speaker 4: be a no doubt inclusion on my Top fifty Players
Speaker 4: the Last fifty Years list when that comes out next
Speaker 4: month little plug within the podcast for a future part
Speaker 4: of the podcast. That's what you've got to have, and
Speaker 4: then you have to fill out the roster smartly surrounding it.
Speaker 4: But you mentioned four teams there. You mentioned the Grizzlies,
Speaker 4: the Suns, the Bucks, and the Heat.
Speaker 3: There's only to me one.
Speaker 4: There's one team there that I feel like nobody doubts
Speaker 4: can win the title, and that's the Bucks.
Speaker 3: Why because they have a top five guy at the
Speaker 3: peat for his powers.
Speaker 4: The Suns have had an unbelievable regular season. They're gonna
Speaker 4: win sixty plus games. A lot of people believe they're
Speaker 4: gonna win the title. For them to do so, it
Speaker 4: would be somewhat unprecedented. Because Booker, as good as he is,
Speaker 4: is No, we're close to a top five guy in
Speaker 4: the league. And Chris Paul, as historically great as he's been,
Speaker 4: he's not there yet anymore. And the Grizzlies, I love him,
Speaker 4: but they're drawing dead to win the title. The Heater
Speaker 4: drawing dead to win the title like that, You've got
Speaker 4: to have one of those guys. That's what NBA history
Speaker 4: tells us. And I'm gonna fail against the clock again. Okay,
Speaker 4: let's move on. Let's hit some golf for the first
Speaker 4: time in the show. Yeah, you feel great about this,
Speaker 4: This is amazing. Yeah, you're exciting about talking golf with me.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Tiger might actually play the Masters. Yeah, he
Speaker 4: can't seem to walk away, and he's not the first.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Brady couldn't do it, mj couldn't do it, and
Speaker 6: you won't admit it. But one day Lebron will do it. Okay,
Speaker 6: what does Tiger have left to prove? And why can't
Speaker 6: goats ever seem to walk away?
Speaker 4: All right, so Tiger has nothing left to prove to
Speaker 4: the world. I think to himself, I think Tiger still,
Speaker 4: a tiny part of him holds out hope he can
Speaker 4: catch Jack with the eighteen Majors.
Speaker 3: Now he's not gonna do that. He's at fifteen Jacks
Speaker 3: at eighteen.
Speaker 4: I also, though, I think more than a tiny part
Speaker 4: of Tiger and a large part of me believes, oh,
Speaker 4: he could still win another Masters. Maybe that's insane. And
Speaker 4: all I've seen is like brainy footage of him practicing
Speaker 4: post injury, postcar wreck. But he knows the course so well,
Speaker 4: the fact that he wanted a few years ago. I
Speaker 4: and Tiger is the way I look at Tiger is
Speaker 4: the way so many broadcasters look at Michael Jordan like
Speaker 4: I erase the flaws. I only see the greatness. He's
Speaker 4: you know, one of my two favorite athletes of all time.
Speaker 4: I have more fond sportsmanory involving Tiger Woods than almost
Speaker 4: anybody any other athlete I've ever watched, and so I
Speaker 4: think he has something left to prove to himself. As
Speaker 4: far as why can't goats seem to walk away? Certainly,
Speaker 4: and why can't they walk away on top? I think
Speaker 4: if you are in the discussion for the greatest in
Speaker 4: the world at something, or the greatest to ever do something,
Speaker 4: you need it to be proven to you that that's
Speaker 4: no longer the case. I always thought walking out on
Speaker 4: top was slightly was an overrated concept. All of us
Speaker 4: want to play sports as long as we can. It's
Speaker 4: always a sad day the last time we're allowed to
Speaker 4: play sports, you know, competitively, and so the if you
Speaker 4: can play in the toughest league at the top level
Speaker 4: and you're still the best or in the argument for
Speaker 4: the best, the idea of giving that up, you know,
Speaker 4: by choice, seems crazy to me.
Speaker 3: So I don't It's.
Speaker 4: Totally rational and reasonable to me why athletes have a
Speaker 4: hard time walking away. I think the other thing would
Speaker 4: be ear raction guys who are at the top, being
Speaker 4: like I've had enough of this, I don't. I think
Speaker 4: that the mentality of I've had enough of this almost
Speaker 4: never coincides with the mentality that it takes to become
Speaker 4: the greatest in the history of the world. It's something,
Speaker 4: all right, I'm gonna go oh for this is our
Speaker 4: sixth show. I'm gonna be oho for six against the
Speaker 4: clot because we have less than a minute left. We're
Speaker 4: about to talk about something that I think is going
Speaker 4: to take some time, so demant go ahead.
Speaker 2: Time for a serious topic. Yep.
Speaker 6: The NFL is requiring teams to hire one female or
Speaker 6: minority offensive coach this year.
Speaker 2: Yep. Uh is this a meaningful step in the right direction?
Speaker 4: So I do think it is a somewhat meaningful step.
Speaker 4: And I understand some folks are gonna say this is tokenism.
Speaker 3: Or and listen, they'll be bad.
Speaker 4: I'm not worried about the bad faith actors say the
Speaker 4: folks that would be like what happened to the best
Speaker 4: person for the job? That is such a maddening concept,
Speaker 4: because when when you have a statistically impossible discrepancy is
Speaker 4: skewing towards white people having all these jobs and the
Speaker 4: assumption being well it was when it was all white
Speaker 4: people getting jobs or the maast maority white people getting jobs.
Speaker 3: That was a meritocracy.
Speaker 4: But as soon as we mandate some non white people
Speaker 4: getting jobs, then it's not a meritocracy. The idea that
Speaker 4: all these coaches, kids and family members are getting gigs
Speaker 4: and that's a meritocracy is laughable. But so I understand
Speaker 4: why the NFL is doing it, and I do think
Speaker 4: it is a decent move, But will it actually fix
Speaker 4: the problem. And the answer to that is, of course no.
Speaker 4: And there's two reasons for it. One is really really
Speaker 4: unfortunate and the other is really really reasonable. Let me
Speaker 4: start with the reasonable one person. People hire friends and
Speaker 4: family in every industry, and that cuts across all races.
Speaker 4: Black people hire black people because they know more black people,
Speaker 4: they're friends with more black people, and obviously their families
Speaker 4: you know very often other black people. White people do
Speaker 4: the same. That is in every industry, across all time,
Speaker 4: across all countries, people hire people they know, and in
Speaker 4: the country as segregated as the United States, the people
Speaker 4: you know very often are going to skew dramatically to
Speaker 4: the same race that you are. So that is just
Speaker 4: going to be a part of the of any companies
Speaker 4: hiring practices, which is why it is critically important any
Speaker 4: industry takes a serious effort to make sure the hiring
Speaker 4: positions in particular is a diverse group of people, so
Speaker 4: that way you have black hiring managers in addition to
Speaker 4: white hiring managers and other minority groups, so that it
Speaker 4: can then filter on such The NFL also has a
Speaker 4: big nepotism problem. Coaches hire their kids, and obviously, in
Speaker 4: the vast majority of cases, your kids are the same
Speaker 4: race as you, so that perpetuates it. I don't actually
Speaker 4: blame people for those paradigms because I think that cuts
Speaker 4: across all races. That's the non nefarious reasoning for it,
Speaker 4: and that I don't think is easily solvable until you
Speaker 4: get more black people in general manager, team president, team
Speaker 4: ownership positions to where they're then circle and friend group
Speaker 4: and their own family tree can fill out some of
Speaker 4: the jobs. The nefarious reason and the reason it's important
Speaker 4: that offensive coaches that there is there is a emphasis
Speaker 4: on offensive coaches not just being white guys, is because
Speaker 4: for two reasons. One is it's very clear the best
Speaker 4: way to become a head coaches coach the offensive side
Speaker 4: of the ball, as the league is skewed super offense,
Speaker 4: offense offense. So where's the nefarious part. I think it
Speaker 4: is very very clear that there are certain NFL teams,
Speaker 4: people running NFL teams that have a hard time believing
Speaker 4: that black people are smart enough to be a quarterback, genius,
Speaker 4: quarterback guru, an offensive mastermind. The numbers would say that
Speaker 4: it is again almost statistically impossible for these white for
Speaker 4: these coaching staffs on the offensive side of the ball,
Speaker 4: and for front offices to be as lily white as
Speaker 4: they are when the vast majority of NFL or of
Speaker 4: football staffs are made up of former players, and the
Speaker 4: vast majority of players are black. That couldn't happen by chance.
Speaker 4: And I can't just say, ah, it's all because of
Speaker 4: the non nefarious reasons I laid out before.
Speaker 3: There is clearly.
Speaker 4: Belief amongst some people in various high positions across a
Speaker 4: number of NFL teams that listen, I trust this black
Speaker 4: guy to be able to fire up my running back,
Speaker 4: but I don't trust this black guy's brain to be
Speaker 4: able to break down game film with my quarterback. And
Speaker 4: so I do think some of the hiring discrepancies are understandable,
Speaker 4: and some of them are just old school tale, as
Speaker 4: old as time, racism, the old I don't think the
Speaker 4: black guy is as smart as the white guy, and.
Speaker 3: So does this help? It does help? Does it fix it?
Speaker 3: Far from We will.
Speaker 2: Be right back.

Speaker 4: Welcome back in What's Right with Nick Right Podcast Episode six.
Speaker 4: You can also watch this on YouTube subscribe on all
Speaker 4: your favorite podcast platforms. I've been hearing the producers giggle
Speaker 4: on the background in my ear when they've referenced what
Speaker 4: we're gonna do in the final block of the show.
Speaker 4: I never know what we're gonna do in the final
Speaker 4: block of the show. But I'm already I already have
Speaker 4: a bit of trepidation on what these people are gonna
Speaker 4: throw at me, and I imagine you, the young man,
Speaker 4: are gonna be a part of it. However, before we
Speaker 4: get to the final block of the show, tell me
Speaker 4: what we're doing right here.
Speaker 2: Pick the bigger NFL story this week.
Speaker 6: Okay, postseason overtime rules changing or the bills stadium being
Speaker 6: partially publicly funded.
Speaker 4: Okay, we'll get to the overtime stuff later. The public
Speaker 4: funding of stadiums is one of the most It's something
Speaker 4: that I promise you history will not look upon pond
Speaker 4: here people are like, oh, what was one of the
Speaker 4: reasons American infrastructure in public schooling all seem to fail?
Speaker 4: And they're gonna be like, well, there's money issues a
Speaker 4: lot of things. And they're gonna be like, oh, well,
Speaker 4: that's funny because all these municipalities sure seem to find
Speaker 4: a billion dollars when they needed it to build a
Speaker 4: stadium that's going to be used a dozen times a year.
Speaker 4: With that said, there are certain cities in America that
Speaker 4: I think you can justify the public kicking in some
Speaker 4: dollars to the team, and Buffalo might be one of them.
Speaker 4: So here's my general point. Take your top fifteen cities
Speaker 4: in the country. All of them should come together, have
Speaker 4: a meeting of the mayors or the governors of the states.
Speaker 4: However you need to do it and make a pact
Speaker 4: and all a nice little collusion against the leagues. Guys,
Speaker 4: none of us are ever paying a dime. You know
Speaker 4: why because pro sports leagues want to be in New York.
Speaker 4: They want to be in LA they want to be
Speaker 4: in Dallas, they want to be in Houston, they want
Speaker 4: to be in Miami, they want to be in DC,
Speaker 4: they want to be in San Francisco. Their threats to
Speaker 4: leave are hollow threats. We never need to pay a
Speaker 4: dollar if we're a major American city for a team,
Speaker 4: the leagues want to be here, the owners have the money,
Speaker 4: let them pay. Now a city such as Buffalo, you
Speaker 4: can make the argument that the difference between Buffalo and
Speaker 4: Schenectady is one thing that they have pro sports, the
Speaker 4: Sabers and the Bills, and that I've said for a
Speaker 4: long time growing up from Kansas City, what's the difference
Speaker 4: between Kansas City and Des Moines. Well, aside from the
Speaker 4: history of Kansas City and the amazing barbecue and the jazz,
Speaker 4: all that, the real contemporary difference was Kansas City had
Speaker 4: the Chiefs and the royals, and des Moines didn't. So
Speaker 4: I do understand why a small city might feel incentivized
Speaker 4: to make sure their team doesn't move. So I get
Speaker 4: why the Bills are doing right, the Buffalo's doing it,
Speaker 4: but it's the State of New York that's doing it.
Speaker 4: And I know these two headlines aren't exactly aligned.
Speaker 3: But around the.
Speaker 4: Same time I found out the State of New York's
Speaker 4: gonna kick in about eight hundred million for the Bills stadium.
Speaker 4: I read in the New York Times. Our new governors
Speaker 4: say there's about an eight hundred and fifty million dollar
Speaker 4: New York State Public school short Paul kind of pissed
Speaker 4: me off, to be totally honest. But if you're Buffalo,
Speaker 4: if you're Green Bay, if you're a small city that
Speaker 4: is kind of just happy to have a team, I
Speaker 4: get why you might want to make sure the team
Speaker 4: never leaves. But big cities should never pay a dollar
Speaker 4: to these leagues. They get tricked by them. They're never
Speaker 4: leaving pro sports leagues are never leaving New York or
Speaker 4: LA or the cities I mentioned. They want to be there,
Speaker 4: so don't get tricked into it. Speaking of the Chiefs,
Speaker 4: looks like we're gonna talk about them for a moment.
Speaker 6: Speaking of stadiums, Yeah, is it possible that the Chiefs
Speaker 6: end up leaving Arrowhead?
Speaker 3: Okay, so listen.
Speaker 4: Arrowhead Stadium is loud, and it's a fine stadium. It's
Speaker 4: not state of the art, but it's fine. It also
Speaker 4: is in the it's in the middle of nowhere. It
Speaker 4: is thirty minutes from downtown Kansas City. The closest restaurant
Speaker 4: to Arrowhead or Kaufman is a Taco Bell. The closest
Speaker 4: hotel is a Drurian, and then there is a there's
Speaker 4: an indoor water park over there.
Speaker 3: That I think we had coco keys. Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: we had a birthday there once upon a time.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I mean I shouldn't be tasted.
Speaker 4: You shouldn't have. But can I also say props to you?
Speaker 4: I mean, man, what a come up? We used to
Speaker 4: do birthday parties at cocos at a terrible hotel in Raytown, Missouri.
Speaker 3: Look at us now, buddy. I mean, that's a true story.
Speaker 3: But the point is Arrowheads not ideal.
Speaker 4: Is not an ideal location. The reason the idea of
Speaker 4: the Chiefs leaving is touches a tendon for me because
Speaker 4: there was a rumor they might cross state lines into Kansas.
Speaker 4: The Kansasity Chiefs are Kansas City, Missouri's team, and there
Speaker 4: is a big difference between being from Missouri and being
Speaker 4: from Kansas. The audience may not care. The Kansas Citians
Speaker 4: will get it. You get it. You are when people
Speaker 4: ask you where are you from? Or you were born
Speaker 4: in Mississippi, but where you grew up? Where do you say?
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, you've moved around a lot. Good point, Kansas.
Speaker 2: It was Kansas City and then Kansas is a whole
Speaker 2: different the.
Speaker 3: Whole different thing.
Speaker 4: And people if you're from You're like, oh, I'm from
Speaker 4: Kansas City and they're like, oh, you're from Kansas.
Speaker 3: No, I'm from Missouri.
Speaker 4: And the idea of the Chiefs crossing the state line
Speaker 4: will I'm.
Speaker 3: Not saying I will be a fan. This is what
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say.
Speaker 4: This is what I will say if the Chiefs moved
Speaker 4: to Kansas. My fandom ends. When Patrick Mahomes was got
Speaker 4: that's it. When bade Bals retires, I'm out if they
Speaker 4: moved to Kansas.
Speaker 3: Okay, now time for a game.
Speaker 4: Two rights, one wrong, two wrongs, one right is actually
Speaker 4: I think the name of the game U two wrongs,
Speaker 4: one right.
Speaker 6: What are we starting with? How should Coach K go
Speaker 6: out lose to you and C, beat you and C
Speaker 6: but losing the final?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Or win it all? Okay?
Speaker 4: The worst option is option B beating North Carolina but
Speaker 4: then losing the championship. Nobody's really happy about that. I
Speaker 4: so to me, it's either A or C. I would
Speaker 4: really like see Hubert Davis beat him. Listen, Coach K,
Speaker 4: you made another Final four. You've gotten you know, this
Speaker 4: whole victory lap and this whole farewell season. Let's have
Speaker 4: North Carolina beat you in your farewell game, you know,
Speaker 4: before the tournament, and then beat you in your actual
Speaker 4: farewell game in the first time these two teams are
Speaker 4: ever playing in the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm rooting for.
Speaker 4: But I will admit if they particularly now that Houston's
Speaker 4: out of the tournament, if they were to beat North Carolina,
Speaker 4: I'll be rooting for them in the.
Speaker 3: National championship game. All right, what's next.
Speaker 2: PG thirteen is back.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if Kawhi comes back, you think the Clippers will
Speaker 6: lose early, they make it to the conference finals, or
Speaker 6: they win the title.
Speaker 4: All Right, I love Tyleru and obviously healthy, this is
Speaker 4: a dangerous team, but I do not believe there is
Speaker 4: any realistic chance Kawi comes back. And if he does,
Speaker 4: Kawhi does not have the history of I'm gonna come
Speaker 4: back from injury and give you thirty eight minutes a night,
Speaker 4: So I think that I think that he's likely not
Speaker 4: coming back.
Speaker 3: I think they lose early either way.
Speaker 4: I think the Clippers we got to see what the
Speaker 4: matchups are, but with or without Kawhi for this season,
Speaker 4: I think they have a very defined round two ceiling
Speaker 4: and then we'll see everyone's healthy. But man, it is interesting,
Speaker 4: and this is everyone talks about the Lebron A d
Speaker 4: thing and they're like, let's break them up, trade a
Speaker 4: d us Who would want to play with Lebron uh
Speaker 4: Lebron a D, Kawhi and Paul George, Katie and Kyrie.
Speaker 4: They all came together in the same offseason. Okay, Lebron
Speaker 4: and Anthony Davis have won a child together. Kawhi and
Speaker 4: Paul George have not played in a single conference finals
Speaker 4: game together. Clippers made the conference finals last year, but
Speaker 4: Kawhi was out and Katie and Kyrie have played have
Speaker 4: not played in a single conference finals game together. So
Speaker 4: and by the way, I don't think that's gonna change
Speaker 4: this year. I think we're gonna be three years into
Speaker 4: these partnerships. The only one that is going to have
Speaker 4: even sniffed a championship and they will have in fact
Speaker 4: won it is Lebron and Anthony Davis.
Speaker 3: But they're the ones that just get crushed all the time.
Speaker 4: You're not allowed a down year, that one down year
Speaker 4: last year.
Speaker 3: Last year is not great either, but still last year, well.
Speaker 4: No, this year is down year and last year was
Speaker 4: not great because at the end point remains though all
Speaker 4: three of these guys came together. And by the way,
Speaker 4: I gotta say, we're gonna break the clock on this again,
Speaker 4: damn it, I suck at the.
Speaker 3: Timing part of it. There. There is a really interesting art.
Speaker 4: If Kawhi and Paul George don't blow that three to
Speaker 4: one lead to the Nuggets and then they get the
Speaker 4: Lakers in the Western Armonds finals that year, if they
Speaker 4: if the Lakers instead of winning that title, had lost
Speaker 4: in the Western Armends finals to the Clippers.
Speaker 3: Whether Clippers win the tell or not.
Speaker 4: When Kwi is doing all those idiotic that commercial campaign
Speaker 4: with his uh what is his shoeber in socany?
Speaker 2: Who is?
Speaker 4: Oh, it's new balance my bed. So I get them
Speaker 4: all there, I get the it's exactly what those new
Speaker 4: balance where he got the crown. This is my city.
Speaker 4: If it's a whole different story, but that's obviously not
Speaker 4: what happened.
Speaker 3: Okay, what's next?
Speaker 6: Uh, best NFL overtime option is leave it how it
Speaker 6: had been the new rule, or you cut, I choose.
Speaker 3: Okay, you cut, I choose as the best option. So
Speaker 3: let me explain this to you.
Speaker 4: So think about your little sisters last night arguing over
Speaker 4: every right, just everything right. So all, now imagine we
Speaker 4: have last night. If we were gonna have a dessert.
Speaker 4: There's one piece of cake and they have to split it.
Speaker 4: The best way to ever do something like that is
Speaker 4: one of them gets to cut it. The other gets
Speaker 4: to pick which slice it, because it incentivizes the cutter
Speaker 4: to make it as fair as possible because the other
Speaker 4: person is going to get to choose, right, that theoretically
Speaker 4: should eliminate all fights. Okay, so the you cut I
Speaker 4: choose NFL overtime option is this. You get to choose
Speaker 4: who has the ball first. I choose where the ball
Speaker 4: is placed on the field. So I know that you're
Speaker 4: gonna get to choose. If you have Patrick Mahomes, you're
Speaker 4: almost assuredly gonna want the ball. You're gonna want the ball.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: What if I say I'm placing the ball at the
Speaker 4: seven yard line going this way, so you're gonna have
Speaker 4: to go ninety three yards.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say I'm putting it at the one
Speaker 4: because then you're saying, okay, I'll take defense. Right, So,
Speaker 4: if the one team decides where the ball is spotted
Speaker 4: on the field, the other team decides if they want
Speaker 4: to play offense or defense, it incentivizes the first team.
Speaker 4: The Ravens proposed this, by the way, a couple of
Speaker 4: years ago in the NFL knocked it down. I think
Speaker 4: it's a great idea. I think it adds a whole
Speaker 4: level of strategy, and I wish the NFL had done it.
Speaker 4: With that said, they were never gonna do it. It
Speaker 4: was two cutting edge. I think there is a league
Speaker 4: that did do it, that it was done on some
Speaker 4: level of football. I love the idea of it. It
Speaker 4: never took off. So the new overtime rule change is fine.
Speaker 4: Both teams get a possession for overtime.
Speaker 3: Of course, you know when the Chiefs hurry, okay, do
Speaker 3: you are sorry? I know I'm going on.
Speaker 4: Let me just see this. Then we'll get to the
Speaker 4: last thing. When the Chiefs never get touched the ball.
Speaker 4: In twenty eighteen, mahomes first year and Brady goes on
Speaker 4: and wins his ring thirteen to three, and the worst
Speaker 4: Super Bowl ever. Nobody cries a tear, Nobody says anything. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we gotta change the rules. Oh, the new Golden Boy
Speaker 4: Josh Allen never gets some ball on overtime. Now we're
Speaker 4: changing the rules. Okay, all right, what's yeah Golden Boy?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: What's this last one?
Speaker 2: Pick one to succeed Taysom Hill Saints tight end?
Speaker 4: Okay, that's a note. I don't even know the other options.
Speaker 4: That's a noe.
Speaker 6: Okay, Trey Lance forty nine ers starting QB yep or
Speaker 6: demonse me podcast host?
Speaker 4: Okay, oh that ohen you said? Host on the screen
Speaker 4: that says star, podcast star.
Speaker 3: All right, so.
Speaker 4: Taysom Mills eliminated. Here's the thing, Demonse, No, don't uh
Speaker 4: oh this. I just think we all need to understand
Speaker 4: and embrace our rules.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: So if the question was who has the best chance
Speaker 4: to succeed demondse Bird podcast sidekick? Yeah, I hear my pick.
Speaker 4: I think you've We've done six of these shows. You've
Speaker 4: been an A plus sidekick. You know, a Robin from
Speaker 4: Howard Stern Show, look out, best side, the dude who
Speaker 4: used to sit next to Conan Andy Richter looked out.
Speaker 3: You could be.
Speaker 4: I mean, there is a lucrative, long term career in
Speaker 4: posting and and gliding off almost the wave of a
Speaker 4: transcendent talent such as my no that exists, and you
Speaker 4: are doing.
Speaker 3: A great job of it.
Speaker 4: But once it says podcast host or star, the question
Speaker 4: then becomes best shit, Like if I'm not here one day,
Speaker 4: are they gonna be like, uh, cancel the show? Or Demonse,
Speaker 4: go ahead and sit in this chair.
Speaker 5: Ah.
Speaker 4: So because of that, I'm gonna go Trey Lance forty
Speaker 4: nine or starting quarterback.
Speaker 3: We'll be right about.
Speaker 2: All right?

Speaker 3: Okay, Well we're on the air, babe.
Speaker 4: No, okay, listen, we're too deep at this point. We're
Speaker 4: in too deep.
Speaker 2: It's happening.

Speaker 4: You have to promise you won't look at me differently,
Speaker 4: you promise, Okay?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 4: All right, So I was in college, so it's about Mike.
Speaker 4: You know what it was the day after I turned
Speaker 4: twenty one. I remember the day because it's by the way.
Speaker 4: This is a funny story, but there's not. I mean,
Speaker 4: it ends with I don't know. The police called it
Speaker 4: a stabbing. I would have called it a cutting. And
Speaker 4: it ended badly for a lot of people. I wasn't
Speaker 4: one of them, because had he play up here. So
Speaker 4: here's where we got. So I'm trying to I'm my
Speaker 4: car is blocked in by a girl who lives in
Speaker 4: the apartment beneath him. Okay, and she does this all
Speaker 4: the time, blocks in not just my car, the whole
Speaker 4: apartment complex, like leaves her car and the only entrance
Speaker 4: exit and just to run into her whatever. So I shout, hey,
Speaker 4: move your car. She shouts back, give me a minute.
Speaker 4: I'm getting in the shower like you're getting in the show.
Speaker 3: So I shout again, move your car.
Speaker 4: The apartment above her unrelated party streams down with a
Speaker 4: lot of offensive language and yells I'm angry now doubling.
Speaker 3: So I yell back to.
Speaker 4: Them, I'm not talking to you, you know, basically shut up.
Speaker 4: I'm like this, yelled to the girl, move your car.
Speaker 4: About thirty seconds later, two guys walk down. They are
Speaker 4: both what I would call, you know, strapping gentlemen, sizeable guys,
Speaker 4: and one of them says, you better apologize to my friend.
Speaker 4: He's a marine, he'll kick your ass, and I you
Speaker 4: know you, you you know me, I'm not.
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't like the back down element.
Speaker 4: So I instead of apologizing, I got right in space
Speaker 4: and I said, and I said, I'm not apologizing. I
Speaker 4: wouldn't even talking to you. So you have two options,
Speaker 4: hit me or walk away and say excuse me. And
Speaker 4: before I could say it a second time, he chose option.
Speaker 3: A and this went south man bad.
Speaker 4: I mean, he tracks me and I kind of buckle
Speaker 4: and then he grabs me and I'm now up against
Speaker 4: the apartment building wall, and I mean, it's just like,
Speaker 4: I don't know what his training was, but it was
Speaker 4: more than mine, and so I try to like wiggle
Speaker 4: away and he gets me on I'm face down in
