1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: What is up straight firefam, It's me Jason McIntire. Street

3
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: Fire for Monday, May sixth. The weekend is in the

4
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: rear view mirror. A lot happened on the NBA front,

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: and you know, I did dad things over the weekend,

6
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: the usual, as everybody likes to say. I'm going to

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 2: start with a kind of a silly, somber note and

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: then I have to address to Tom Brady roast right

9
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: off the top. But first of all, so you know,

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: when I was a young guy, I had a job

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: where I was able to stack a little paper and

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: buy a little I mean, like maybe a couple thousand

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: dollars because I was like, you know, college kid, and

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: I was a big music guy. I thought having a

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: car with subs in the back and like one of

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: those detachable CD players that was I was all about that.

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: And then after that I wanted to upgrade the sound system.

18
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: So I moved off campus at Virginia Tech as a sophomore,

19
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: and going into the year, I was like, listen, I

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: got we got to have a cool setup because we

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: got to have parties. So I went out and spent

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: a lot of what I had made that summer on

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 2: these two Surwin Vegas speakers, these two twelves, and they

24
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: hit so hard. I absolutely adored these speakers. Our system

25
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: was sick. It was a pregame spot off campus, and

26
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: those speakers were everything to me, okay, and like I

27
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: felt a real attachment. I earned some money as a

28
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: young guy. I saved up the money and I wanted

29
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: these speakers, and I paid a lot of money. And

30
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: at the time, I don't remember. I want to say

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: it was like eight hundred bucks, but maybe a thousand whatever.

32
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: It was a a big number for a young, broke

33
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: college kid. So I get these speakers and they went

34
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: everywhere with me. Everywhere I moved, I took them. And

35
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: when we moved from Pennsylvania to LA we got a

36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: place that wasn't that big. You know, we down eyes significantly.

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: You know, Pennsylvania you can have a big house and

38
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: yard and all this stuff, and you know, we're renting.

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: And the wife's like, listen, those speakers are too big.

40
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: They're they're relics. We can't put them anywhere. At this point,

41
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: they're twenty years old. And I was like, listen, I'm

42
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: not tossing these speakers. They mean a lot to me.

43
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: So he kept them in the garage and in my mind,

44
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: I had like, oh, I'm gonna set up this. Eventually

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: it will get sort of a sick man cave, which

46
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: is kind of lame to say out loud, but whatever

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: I'm might get me a man cave. I'm gonna have

48
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: these speakers and the surround. I was gonna be sick.

49
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: And then you know, seven years go by in LA

50
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: and they're still in the garage. So then we moved

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: recently and the why it's like you're going to toss

52
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: the speakers, right, I mean, these are standing speakers that

53
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: are I don't know what, like four feet tall, maybe

54
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: three three and a half whatever they are, and they're

55
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: kind of heavy. I mean I could lift them, but

56
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: they're still they're not like the tiny now speakers, and

57
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: they do not they're not Bluetooth. Okay. These are the

58
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: old school with like the wire and it goes into

59
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: the back of the of the the sound system. There's

60
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: a no DVR, I'm sorry, not DVR, no bluetooth at all,

61
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: so you can't just like connect the speakers. So we

62
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: move and I'm like, I'm not gonna toss them. I'm

63
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 2: not I'm gonna, so we hold on to them. And

64
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: now we've decided, okay, we're gonna you know, out here

65
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: in LA there's really not a ton of basements unless

66
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: you're a baller, and we don't have a basement. And

67
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: I want a ping pong table. You know, the kids

68
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: have their friends over go play ping pong. Also I'm

69
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: good at ping pong, so I like to smash people.

70
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: So over the weekend, you know, my wife's been begging

71
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: on me, hey, get rid of the speaker, get rid

72
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 2: of and I'm like no, no, no no. So i'd finally

73
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: look up online and they're like I could sell them.

74
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: They're in good shape, probably three hundred dollars each. And

75
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: then I looked into like what it would cause to

76
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: the energy to haggle with people online and post it

77
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: and then deal with mailing them, you know, and I'm

78
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: just Ultimately, I was like, you know what, the wife's

79
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: gonna be happy if I just say, I'm just gonna

80
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: get rid of the speakers and I and I donated

81
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: them to Goodwill. And it was a tough moment. And

82
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: I brought my son in and he was stunned. He said, Dad,

83
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: you know you told me once you'd rather die with speakers,

84
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: and I was like, I hope I didn't say that.

85
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: He's like, you definitely did. And it was just it's

86
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: a sentimental thing. And now I had this As I'm

87
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: driving to Goodwill to donate them, just give them away,

88
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: I had this moment where I was like, wow, like

89
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: holy cow, times passed quickly and I can't believe, like

90
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: I'd feel nothing just giving these away. It's not that

91
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: big of a deal. I'm not a horderor trust me.

92
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: But it was just a story that kind of encapsulated

93
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: how I'm feeling old lately, especially I get this ankle injury.

94
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: In soccer. We got a men's league. It's not like

95
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: our top league. It's probably our third league championship game tonight,

96
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: and I'm probably gonna play a little bit, not a lot. Anyway,

97
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 2: let's pivot to actual sports. I need to start quickly

98
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: with the Tom Brady roast. So I totally forgot about

99
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: the roast and I was driving to Goodwill and my

100
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: brother texted me, Oh, my gosh, Kevin Hart is destroying

101
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: Tom Brady and I was like, oh, that's right. So

102
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: I start watching in my car, I'm dying of life.

103
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: After cracking up. I get home and it's my thirteen

104
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: year old son and I. I picked up some Mexican

105
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: food Sinco de Mayo, and we start eating and Nicki

106
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: Glazer comes on and she is my god, if you

107
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: guys know Nicki Glazer, she's incredible and her stuff is

108
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: oh boy. So after a few minutes, I'm like, Bryce

109
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: is a little inappropriate. I don't I just I don't

110
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: think I could do much more than you know. He's

111
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: cracking up the stuff he understands. And then my daughter

112
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: comes home from hanging out at her friend's house and

113
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: she's like, oh, what do you guys watch? It's like oohh.

114
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: And then Nicki Glazer makes one joke about yeah, I'm

115
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 2: not gonna say if you've seen it, it's early on,

116
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 2: and she's she's guzzling something, and I, okay, that's it.

117
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: That's it. My son is just like wide eyed and

118
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: just dying of laughter from what he knew, and my

119
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: daughter's like, yeah, I don't know, and it was just

120
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: I had to shut it down. So I will have

121
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: to watch the rest of the Brady Roast when I

122
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: get home from work today. When the kids aren't there,

123
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 2: or maybe I'll watch some of it during the commercial

124
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: breaks of The Herd. But I just thought it was

125
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 2: incredible Kevin Harror, Jeff Arrow, Like the little I heard

126
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 2: was amazing. And I didn't love how Brady went up,

127
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 2: Like all the jokes about his wife, fine, all the

128
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: jokes about Brady whatever, but the joke about Craft getting

129
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: a massage, Brady comes up and says, don't do that

130
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: shit again. And I was like, Ross played it off

131
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: well because Brady could really looked like a jackass at

132
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 2: that moment. But anyways, in actual.

138
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 2: I lost money on the Calves Magic Under which was

139
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: a tough beat, although the Calves did prevail, which was

140
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: a nice one. We'll get into that. I did lose

141
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: money on Denver in Game one, losing to Minnesota. That

142
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,159

145
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: It was like, started out ugly. My son had a

Speaker 2: Mitchell can't make a shot? I'm like, oh, he spent

149
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: because of the fifty burger on Friday night in Game

Speaker 2: I've now out of the basement and I'm actually in

154
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: decent shape going forward, thanks to Donovan Mitchell and Kyrie

155
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: Irving primarily. And like, Donovan Mitchell just wakes up in

156
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: the third quarter and it was one of those like, oh, okay,

157
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: the Caps aren't terrible now, I'm not going to go

158
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: overboard on reacting to Cleveland's first playoff series win without

159
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: Lebron since nineteen ninety three. Side note that's over thirty

160
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: yearsess the ineptitude, But Donovan Mitchell basically woke up in

161
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: the second half, had twenty four in the second half

162
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: seventeen and the third and I put this out on

163
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: social Of course, kas fans didn't love it. Boy, that

164
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell audition for the Lakers is looking really nice

165
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: right now, because you guys know this summer, Cleveland can

166
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: offer him the extension four years, two hundred million dollars.

167
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: If Donovan Mitchell says, hmmm, that's a pass, they're gonna

168
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: trade him. If Donovan Mitchell signs it, he's going to

169
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: be in Cleveland. Now, we all know people can say, yeah,

170
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: give me the money, let me sign, and then within

171
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: a year I want out. This isn't working. We've seen

172
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: a lot of high profile athletes do that. Take the

173
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: money now, I'll figure out the rest later. I gotta

174
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 2: be honest. I watched Mitchell. I saw a guy in

175
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: Phoenix that I do. I've done it. I played some

176
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: pickup hoops with him at the Super Bowl. I've seen

177
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: his I've been on his radio show. And he put

178
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: out an interesting this is from a Phoenix guy, who

179
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 2: would you rather have Donovan Mitchell or Devin Booker? And

180
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 2: that was like one of those ooh, do I need

181
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: to let that marinate for a minute. And I was like, no, no,

182
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: it's got to be Booker. And then I thought, I

183
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: was like, you know, Mitchell's done some things in the

184
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 2: playoffs early in his career, hasn't done much lately. He

185
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: is electric offensively, doesn't play a ton of defense. Although

186
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 2: he's quick and active, I don't think he's a turnstyle

187
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: and I had to let that marinate. I was like, Wow,

188
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: Tonavian Mitchell or Devin Booker. I mean, I'll let you

189
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 2: guys decide. I think it's Booker. But it just shows

190
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: that Donovan Mitchell in these big spots Game six fifty,

191
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: Game seven thirty nine, and by the way, I don't

192
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 2: know if you guys realized this was the biggest Game

193
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 2: seven comeback since nineteen ninety eight. They were down eighteen

194
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: late first half. So the Cabs survive and now their

195
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 2: consolation prize, well not consolation prize, but the prize for

196
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: advancing is they get to face the mighty Boston Celtics,

197
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: who are overwhelming favorites. I jotted that down here. The

198
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: Celtics are minus twelve twelve to win the series. Mathematically,

199
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: that's about a ninety two percent chance to win the series.

200
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: They open his Game one favorites of eleven points. I

201
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: already bet them minus eleven for Game one. That's not

202
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: till Tuesday. But I think the more interesting story here

203
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: is Orlando, and that's mostly because a Paolo Benko was way,

204
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: way better than anybody anticipated. This is going against Evan Mobley,

205
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: who's one of the I don't know, probably top fifteen

206
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: defenders in the league. He's a very good young defender.

207
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: He might be top first team All Defense, more likely

208
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 2: second team. But Paulo Banko in Game seven had thirty

209
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 2: eight and sixteen. He's twenty one years old. It's all

210
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: getting glossed over. Nobody's really talking about it. But ben

211
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: Caro was incredible in the series. He averaged twenty seven

212
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: and eight. And this is why it gets interesting. Franz

213
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: Wagner won for fifteen shooting listen young guy Game seven,

214
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: Jalen Suggs Game seven two for thirteen shooting. Okay, I'm

215
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: not writing those guys off. Sugs was outstanding this year.

216
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: He might be a first team All Defensive guy. And

217
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: Wagner is a very good young player Mo Wagner as well.

218
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: But you look at Orlando and you're like, they've got

219
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: something here with Ben Carrol. I mean, he is a

220
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: big boy six ' ten, and again, you put up

221
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: thirty eight and sixteen at twenty one years old. You've

222
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: got a bright future in this league. And I wonder

223
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: what does that do for the Orlando offseason. We've heard

224
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: the Paul George stuff. I'm guessing Paul George's agent has

225
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: floated that as Orlando is a destination because he wants

226
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: to see the money from the Clippers. Paul George does

227
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: not want to leave the Clippers for Orlando if he

228
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: just wants the money, as most players do. You want

229
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: to be respected and you want the max offer. I

230
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: don't see Paul George going to Orlando. I can see

231
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: him using them as leverage, But is there a world

232
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: where they're able to add on the periphery And I

233
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 2: don't mean overpaying for like a Trey Young, in which

234
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: case they'd have to certainly get give up one of

235
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: the Wagners and probably Sugs. I mean, magics fans are

236
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 2: gonna vomit at that, but I'm just telling you it's

237
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: Trey Young. He's been to a conference finals. Orlando, you

238
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: haven't won a playoff series since twenty ten. Everybody overvalues

239
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 2: their players, and I'm telling you Wagner very good, Sugs

240
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: very good. I don't know if either of them are

241
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: ever gonna be an MVP candidate. I don't know if

242
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: ever of them, either of them are ever gonna be

243
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: an All Star. And that's not a knock. Jamal Murray's

244
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: never been an All Star. So you're telling me you

245
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: can get Trey Young for Wagner Suggs and I don't

246
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 2: know what else like that is kind of interesting. And

247
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: of course Trey Young was able to tweet during the

248
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: game about how Benkaro was a beast, and of course

249
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: Orlando fans were like, ooh, that's interesting. But I think

250
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: you know Klay Thompson, his name's come up. I don't

251
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: know that he would do it. But if you're looking

252
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: for a guy who wants to get paid and you

253
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 2: can steal him, what about Malik Monk. I I'm just

254
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 2: West Coast people know from watching the Kings, this guy

255
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: is a killer. Monk was a big time player at Kentucky.

256
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: I've always been a huge fan. He's kind of been

257
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 2: a bounce around the league guy, six Man of the

258
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: Year candidate, seeming in the last few years, he's really good. Frankly,

259
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 2: I would rather pay him a leak monk than Clay Thompson.

260
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 2: Clay Thompson is more of a name than he is

261
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: at this age, like a star. But I think Orlando's

262
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: got a lot of potential and can they become like

263
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: a Minnesota pretty quickly? I don't know. I don't know

264
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 2: if that they can get that high, but the potential

265
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: is there for Orlandos to do things. And I'll just

266
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: remind you guys, the East ain't that great. It's just

267
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 2: not I think the Celtics role. I was gonna bet sweet,

268
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 2: but I'll probably just bet five. And you know, Donovan

269
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: Mitchell goes postal and the Celtics do what they do,

270
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 2: play with their food one game and screw around and

271
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: lose it. But pretty impressive comeback down eighteen for the

272
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: Calves and now they'll probably get bludgeoned by the Celtics.

273
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: Let me quickly.

274
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: You know. It'll dovetail perfectly into tonight's games, which are

275
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 2: Pacers Knicks at seven thirty follow up Timberwolves Nuggets game

276
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: two at seven. So I did look at the Pacers

277
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: in this game, and ultimately it's gonna be probably a

278
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: game day decision for me, I think Pacers probably come

279
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: out in the first quarter, you know, energize. Nick's tired, exhausted,

280
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: feeling like heroes coming back after battle, you know, and

281
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: everybody loves them, and I think they there's a world

282
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: where they're kind of sleepy out of the gate and

283
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: the Pacers are able to hang. But ultimately the Knicks

284
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: are overwhelming favorites in this series. Pacers have taken money here.

285
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 2: I think it was six and a half, went down

286
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: to five and a half. I want to pick the Pacers,

287
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: and we touched on this series, I think on Friday's

288
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: podcast a little bit. I just I do think the

289
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: Knicks are going to be tired, and everybody's like advancing

290
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: the Knicks to the conference finals. I don't think it's

291
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: going to be that easy. And yes, the Pacers did

292
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: beat yannisless Milwaukee Dame Lillard missed. What a game and

293
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: a half. It felt like, I think the Pacers are

294
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: gonna be plucky here. They'll struggle obviously with the Knicks intensity,

295
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: but again, this is a very limited Knicks team outside

296
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: of Brunson, and as good as Devincenzo was, as good

297
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: as Heart was, like, they're not gonna sneak up on

298
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: Indiana the way they stuck up on the Sixers. Very

299
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: interested in the series. I think my Knicks advanced, but

300
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: it's it's gonna be a good one. The nightcap is

301
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: the one, and that's super interesting. The Timberwolves and the Nuggets.

302
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: The Nuggets are now trailing in a series. You know,

303
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: you can't really take too much from the Nuggets prior

304
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: to last year because it was always somebody injured, likely

305
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray. But then they didn't have Aaron Gordon and

306
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: it was essentially kind of a beaten down Nuggets team.

307
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: Now what's interesting is they were fully healthy last year

308
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: and they steamrolled through the West. Here's the interesting thing.

309
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: This is okay last year, these are the win totals

310
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: of the teams that the Nuggets beat. They beat the

311
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: Wolves in the first round. The Wolves won forty two games.

312
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: Then they beat the Sons, who had won forty five.

313
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: Then they beat the Lakers, who had won forty three.

314
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: Lakers are in the play and remember in the finals,

315
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: they beat the Heat, a forty four win team. None

316
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 2: of those teams they beat last year were juggernauts, and now,

317
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: in hindsight, looking back, we're picking them apart, and you're like, Jay, Well,

318
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: I mentioned this because they beat a Laker team that

319
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: had forty seven wins in the first round, and those

320
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: Lakers pushed them hard, and those forty seven wins were

321
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 2: more than any of the teams they beat last year.

322
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: And we view the Lakers as not that great this year. Well,

323
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: you do, a lot of people do, and it's like,

324
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: wait a minute, Wait a minute. Lakers played them very

325
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: tough entire series, and they're like a forty seven win team.

326
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: This Minnesota team is a fifty six win team. And

327
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: they go into Denver fearless and smack around the Nuggets

328
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: for large parts of the game and then win in

329
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, super impressive with Karl Anthony Town's in

330
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: foul trouble and it was just like, wait a minute,

331
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: what's going on here? And all of a sudden, now

332
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: the Timberwolves are favored in the series. Well, I did

333
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: bet Denver this in Game two, but I do. I'm

334
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 2: starting to wonder, like, Okay, Minnesota is now five and

335
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 2: zero against the spread in the playoffs, Denver two and

336
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: four against the spread. Denver has not looked great, and like,

337
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 2: how healthy is Jamal Murray. He could not get loose

338
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: against Jane McDaniels. I don't know, It's just it's weird.

339
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: The Nuggets felt like the favorite, and now anywhere you

340
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 2: look it's like, well, Boston's favorite to win the title,

341
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 2: and now Minnesota is favored in the West, and it's like,

342
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 2: what's happening here? And it happened quick, folks, it really did.

343
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 2: It flipped on essentially one game. Now is that an

344
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: overreaction or is that simply a numbers game? Minnesota is

345
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: now at home where they really handled Phoenix, and Denver

346
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 2: did lose on the road to the Lakers. You could argue, okay,

347
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 2: well it was game four, they were up three to Zerho,

348
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 2: come on, Jay. But when Minnesota didn't play, its a

349
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 2: game other than Anthony Edwards. And then you can have

350
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: a guy like nas Reid come off the bench and

351
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: score fourteen and the fourth quarter on the road. Remember,

352
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: role players are supposed to play better at home. Naz

353
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 2: Reid a role player. Fourteen in the fourth. I mean

354
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 2: we saw Max Strews to the calves. He had a

355
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: big quarter. I think he had eleven points in the

356
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: third quarter. Sunday, Game seven, again at home, Sam Merrill

357
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: of the Calves comes off the bench, pumps in eight

358
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: in the second quarter at home for the Calves, and

359
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: it's just like, oh my gosh, naz Reid on the

360
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 2: road goes for fourteen, and then there's the Anthony Edwards factor,

361
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: and obviously everybody's on board the Anthony Edwards train. Now, listen,

362
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 2: that left the station several years ago. I called him

363
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: the best in game dunker in NBA history earlier this year.

364
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: He just all he does is post rized people. Basically

365
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 2: nobody can guard him, nobody. Now he's due for a

366
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: bit of a clunker off that incredible game. I think

367
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: my guess is we'll see a little more Peyton Watson,

368
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: a little more Christian Brown, and I know Nuggets fans

369
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: aren't going to want to hear this, and we'll see

370
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 2: what Malone does. But he's probably gonna stick to his

371
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: guns at least for Game two. But at some point

372
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: in the series, my guess is Denver's gonna have to

373
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 2: go small and they're probably gonna have to decide, you

374
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: know what, Aaron Gordon's the odd man out. You know why,

375
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 2: because Aaron Gordon's not scaring anybody From three Rudy Gobert

376
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 2: is just hanging around Aaron Gordon in the dunker spot

377
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 2: and becomes then a shot blocking menace and a defensive rebounder.

378
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: And Denver only had three offensive rebounds the entire game,

379
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: no second chance points. It's just not happening with Gobert

380
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 2: playing off the ball. So if you remove Aaron Gordon

381
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: and bring on Peyton Watson or Christian Brown, and again

382
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 2: their young guys are probably not ready, but you bring

383
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 2: those guys on and it's like, oh, wait a minute,

384
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 2: what do we do. We have to put Gobert, how

385
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: do we counter that Carl Anthony townscake card? None of

386
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: those guys. Then it's you just pick and roll and

387
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 2: go at Carl Anthony relentlessly and yo, kitchen, go beart,

388
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 2: go head to head. So I mean, it's a chess match.

389
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: We know that you never want to overreact as a

390
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 2: coach at Malone's too smart for that. But I thought

391
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: it was I thought it was a really impressive job

392
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: for the Wolves to go on the road and win.

393
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: I think Denver gets paid back tonight in Minnesota. Can't

394
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 2: keep this up right, It's impossible. And I'll wrap up

395
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: with this the most interesting stat I saw over the

396
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 2: weekend was in the NBA playoffs, only six starters of

397
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 2: the eight teams remaining. So eight teams, five starters, forty players,

398
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: so six of forty are older than thirty years old.

399
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 2: Six of forty. The guys over thirty years old are

400
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: Gobern Conley from Minnesota, Pascal Siaka and Indy KCP for

401
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: the Nuggets, Kyrie for the MAVs, and Drew Holliday for

402
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: the Celtics. These teams have no players over the age

403
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 2: of thirty the New York Knicks, OKSE and the Cleveland Casts.

404
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: And I think when you start looking at mac grow

405
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 2: trends and big picture things, folks, it is it started.

406
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: We've been on this Steph Curry, Anthony. It's not Anthony Wore.

407
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: Its Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Lebron end of an era,

408
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. But it's starting to feel real, like

409
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: it's one of those changing of the guards. And you

410
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: remember the last time we had this was when Kobe

411
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 2: and right right before no, no, it wasn't Kobe. It

412
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 2: was like it was those years where like the Spurs

413
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 2: ended up facing the Nets in finals that nobody really liked,

414
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: and it was just one of those weird things where

415
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 2: there was like a transition, a changing of the guard

416
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: out with the old guys. Michael Jordan's done, his wizard's

417
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 2: thing had ended, Lebron was young, the Spurs were boring,

418
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 2: Kobe and the Lakers had had a nice run, but

419
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: then Kobe and Shaq broke up, and the Lakers kind

420
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 2: of didn't know what they were doing, and it was just,

421
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, just had the weird feel of like

422
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: a transitional period in the NBA. And obviously you find

423
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 2: new stars, but I don't know. Overall, I cannot get

424
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: too freakishly like, oh my gosh, I can't believe this

425
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 2: is happening about all these young guys. And frankly, it's

426
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,479
Speaker 2: a good thing. Now Listen, I'm not going to look

427
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: at the TV ratings. I don't care. I like the

428
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs. I'm gonna watch. If you like them, great.

429
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 2: You shouldn't care about their ratings. The players don't and

430
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: they shouldn't either, you know why, because they're going to

431
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: get a massive deal when it comes to the new

432
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 2: TV package. So overall, big picture is, yes, I think

433
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 2: the league is getting younger, I don't think that's the

434
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: worst thing in the world. Paolo ben Caro's on the

435
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: come up, I think very clearly Anthony Edwards is on

436
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: the come up. Like it is. It's an awesome situation

437
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: brewing for the league, and I think younger is better, right.

438
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: I don't know why people would totally disagree with that.

439
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 2: I think it's just people are gonna want to nitpick

440
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 2: and be like, oh, who's watching OKC. Well, we'll do

441
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 2: OKC MAVs tomorrow. I like the MAVs in this series,

442
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 2: despite the Maxiqueabor injury. But yeah, I think that's an

443
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: awesome series. I think there's major juice in some of

444
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: these home arenas when you're watching the games and they

445
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: really pop on the screen. That Minnesota game, if it

446
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 2: goes back two oh Minnesota or even one one, it's

447
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: going to be a fascinating situation in Minnesota. I can't

448
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 2: wait to see it. So that's it for a Monday Pod.

449
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: We are back Manyana, a lot of NBA. We'll see

450
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: what what else is percolating. Talk to you then,
