00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: Welcome in special episode of What's Right with Nick Wright

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: Ever bringing you today for the holiday break, if you will,

11
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: where We're gonna look at four of what I've been

12
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: told are my best takes of the year, and that

13
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: must have been hard work. I mean, I for the

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: producers to find just four. I mean We've got all

15
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: these episodes, all these takes, and the producers had to

16
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: spend their you know days, right before Christmas finding just

17
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: the four best, and then equally hard, I would imagine

18
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: be finding my four worst, because how many episodes did

19
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: you listen to start to finish all sixty minutes and

20
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: you're like, damn, not a single bad one. I mean,

21
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: that's a lot of work for you guys that you

22
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: guys are putting in the extra hours around the holidays,

23
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: which I greatly appreciate. Demand. Let's start with the best,

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: and we should have some sound associated with all these demons.

25
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: Go ahead, what's the first one?

26
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: You started off twenty twenty three with an all time heater.

27
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: You doubled down on the prince that was promised in

28
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: the Jags beating the Chargers in the playoffs last year,

29
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: even when they were down twenty seven points, you still

30
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: bet on your guy, Trevor Lawrence and it paid off.

31
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: You celebrated with a victorious IG Live.

32
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: The Jaguars were four and eight, and somebody had the

33
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: foresight to say, they're still winning the division. And I

34
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: told you guys a month ago that the next time

35
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 2: they lose was gonna be in Arrowhead to the Chiefs

36
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: in the divisional round. No, you don't say everybody laughed

37
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: at me.

38
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: To undefeated on Saturday.

39
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 2: Undefeated on Saturdays. I forgot about that stupid take I had.

40
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: Does this belong in your top four winning takes?

41
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? Definitely. You were there with me for that watching

42
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: that whole game. That was crazy and the I mean,

43
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: it wasn't looking great in the first half. We're not

44
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: gonna lie. Uh And you know what take, what take

45
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: other people had that I didn't, That actually is a

46
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: take that aged really well, was that the Chargers should

47
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 2: have fired Staley right after that game, that they should

48
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: have moved on from him right there, that they weren't

49
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 2: gonna Yeah, and that was that one's not even mine

50
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: now Trevor. Unfortunately, Trevor this year he's dealt with some injury.

51
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 2: I thought that he was gonna have an MVP caliber season.

52
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 2: He obviously hasn't. I still think the Jags, if he's healthy,

53
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: are dangerous come to the playoffs. But yeah, we'll always

54
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: have last year when I never abandoned the two and seven.

55
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 2: I think they were at one point Jacksonville Jaguars all

56
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 2: the way to a playoff victory, and then they went

57
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 2: to Arrowhead and threw a scare into my Chiefs after

58
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 2: Mahomes got hurt. All right, next, all.

59
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: Right, next up, we have your most viral clip of

60
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: the year. When you called out the tush push.

61
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: I said it six months ago. I'll say it again,

62
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: I will eventually be proven right that tush push play

63
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: is a.

64
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: Blight on the league.

65
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: It's bad for the sport. It should not be allowed.

66
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: The reason the NFL will ban this is because the

67
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: place sucks. It's not exciting, it takes all suspense out.

68
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: It's an ugly play. That's it. The NFL changes rules

69
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: all the time to make things a better television product.

70
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: He said it was an unattractive play and that it

71
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 3: was bad for TV and called that it will be banned.

72
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: A few months later that it will be banned, and

73
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: a few months later Commissioner Roger Gourdell caught out the

74
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: play for that exact same reason. We'll see if you're

75
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: truly right after this season. But that's got to be

76
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: up there with one of your best ones, right well.

77
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: Listen, I just I this is one of those times

78
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 2: where I'm just surprised other that I'm allowed to be

79
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: like the only person saying something when it's so obvious

80
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: to me, Like everyone was talking about should it be,

81
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: is it fair? Is it not fair? Is it dangerous?

82
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: Is it alt risk? And it was just so obvious

83
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: to me. None of that matters. The NFL is a

84
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: television show, and this is terrible television. The NFL is

85
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 2: going to change it. And now what you're seeing already,

86
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: I believe, just my hypothesis is the NFL is trying

87
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: to almost grease the skids to changing it by enforcing

88
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: more procedural penalties on it. You saw Jason Galzie get

89
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: penalized for moving the football on it this past week

90
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: because they do not want that to be a central

91
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: part of the offense for one of their marquee teams.

92
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 2: That was so clear that that was gonna happen next.

93
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: You were right on your Chiefs at the at the

94
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: beginning of the year through the end with your mantra

95
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 3: never a doubt on their way to their second Lombardy

96
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: of the Mahomes era.

97
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: Who could have seen it coming? This God Doog show,

98
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: that's who could have seen it coming? Let's go, Oh

99
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: it's the Bills year. Oh the Bengals have their number.

100
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: Oh they're gonna miss Tyreek Hill. Oh mahomes Is hurt.

101
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: Ain't a day thing matter when you have that quarterback

102
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 2: and that coach.

103
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: Your confidence continued to grow as you made some prold

104
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 3: predictions for this season. Will this become a Category two

105
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 3: take well?

106
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: The undefeated year obviously is you know, died on Opening Night,

107
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: which almost almost made it so bad it was good.

108
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: That almost like.

109
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: Calling for a team to go twenty and oh and

110
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: they don't get to one and oh is just kind

111
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: of like hilarious. And had they like started five and

112
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: oh and then lost, it wouldn't have the same panache.

113
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 3: As what happened.

114
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: Yea. Now I believe the Chiefs are gonna win the

115
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, and I though the way my super Bowl

116
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: pick is Chiefs Cowboys. It would be great. I was

117
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: so close to having it dead on last year, and

118
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll talk about that later when I had

119
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: Chiefs Niners. Yes, I'd love to have a Chiefs Cowboys

120
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: super Bowl. But the most fun for me, for the

121
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: TV show for everyone is a Chiefs Niners super Bowl.

122
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: That's the most fun. The most fun is if PERTY

123
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: just keeps rolling, wins a League MVP days before the

124
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, and then takes on the Chiefs. That's the

125
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: outcome that I think sports fans deserve. I don't think

126
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: that's the outcome they're going to get because I don't

127
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: think the Niners are gonna get there, But that would

128
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: be that would feel like the highest stakes for me

129
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: of any Super Bowl imaginable. All right, last one, have

130
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: you ever.

131
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: Been more right on someone than Draymond Green this year?

132
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: He's always gotten into on the court trouble. But after

133
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: a Shenanigans in Sacramento, you said the juice is no

134
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: longer the squeeze. Well, dreywond kept going down the same road.

135
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so we'll see. Listen, I I want to

136
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: be I mean, obviously Draymond's not dealing with the decline

137
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: of his team and his play well, and he's going

138
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: through some things I don't I don't really buy though

139
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: I've said it before and I'll say it again. The

140
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: punishment of like has to go to counseling and it's indefinite.

141
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: Doesn't jive with the fact that he said it was

142
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 2: an accident. He said this last thing he didn't mean

143
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: to do. And so you if you're someone who it

144
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: is a clumsy analogy, I apologize, but has gotten two

145
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 2: DUIs and then you get arrested for a third and

146
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 2: you tell your friends, family, everyone that will listen. Guys,

147
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: I know I've made mistakes in the past. Time I

148
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: didn't have a drop to drink. I fell asleep, the

149
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: cop was wrong. He's I'm going to fight this. I

150
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: know I've made mistakes. I was not drinking. And then

151
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 2: the next day you check into rehab. It's like, well,

152
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: hold on, wait a minute. Draymond sat at that press

153
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: conference and said I was trying to flop. I did

154
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 2: not mean to hit him, and then the next day

155
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: the NBA says you need to basically undergo counseling for

156
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: anger management.

157
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: Well hold on.

158
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: So, in my opinion, part of Draymond, since it's an

159
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: indefinite suspension, part of his return to play, should have

160
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: to be him. And you know acknowledging no, I was

161
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: lying there. I definitely meant to hit him because I'm

162
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 2: a maniac at this moment of my career on the court,

163
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: and the part of it that's the It sucks for

164
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: Steph because Steph is somehow as good as ever. Clay

165
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 2: is coming on a bit, but we know Clay is

166
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,239
Speaker 2: a diminished player, and Draymond is flailing about literally and physically.

167
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: All right, last one, DeMont before we get to and

168
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: I don't even know how they found four of them,

169
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: but go ahead.

170
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 3: You got a quick bonus take here. So I was

171
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: away some time ago at you and Dora had a

172
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 3: debate over a which was the best barbecue spot or

173
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 3: barbecue place between Kansas City and Houston.

174
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 4: It's kind of a general consensus that Texas has the

175
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: best barbecue, and.

176
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 2: I'm telling you that that is nonsense. If we are

177
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: ranking barbecue, it's Kansas City one, Memphis two, the Carolinas three.

178
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: That's the list.

179
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 4: Number one is Texas according to what DOORA second is

180
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 4: Memphis according to what do Youora heard is Kansas City, Missouri.

181
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 2: According to what do youorra Google? You agree with me

182
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: on this right that Texas barbecues is good but overrated,

183
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: and Kansaity barbecue is the best barbecue of anywhere in

184
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: the world.

185
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't go as far as to

186
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: call it overrated, but Kansas City barbecue is definitely better

187
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: than Texas. And I'm basing that much.

188
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: It's only it's only overrated by people who say it's

189
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 2: the best. Something can be good but not even close

190
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: to the best. And your sister really infuriated me that show.

191
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: She was like, no, it's Texas. Everybody knows it. I'm like,

192
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: what do you mean? She's like, look and she she

193
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: was like, look at this and showed me like a

194
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: Google page where it was like Texas is the best,

195
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: Give me a break. That was the worst take. Door

196
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: didn't give many takes, but that was the worst take

197
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: anyone gave was the Texas over Kansaity barbecue. All right,

198
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: what am I losing takes? What are we doing here?

199
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: We're losing takes? All right? You may have been right

200
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 3: on Casey last season and maybe right on them again

201
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: this year. Maybe, But when it comes to betting on

202
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 3: your Chiefs, let's just say you have not done your best.

203
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 3: It's actually an intervention. We are urging you to please

204
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 3: stop betting the Chiefs.

205
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: Oh, Nick, you always picked the Chiefs. False.

206
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 3: I definitely knew.

207
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: I definitely knew that I tend not to include the

208
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: Chiefs and Knicks picks.

209
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.

210
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: But I typically, and you know this, Demanse, do not

211
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: pick the Chiefs and Knicks picks.

212
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: That's my favorite saying.

213
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: I don't typically put the Chiefs in Knicks picks because

214
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: they're not a great covering team. And you guys know

215
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: I don't pick the Chiefs every week. The Chiefs actually

216
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: are rarely in the picks. Two not three, not four,

217
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: not five, not fixed. Yeah, I think Ken City went.

218
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: It's when it's only a point and a half spread,

219
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 2: you don't have to do much analysis. Who do you

220
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: think is gonna win?

221
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: Stop it, get some help. Just stop betting with your heart,

222
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: bet with your mind. You're straying away from the process.

223
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: Let's get back to the process. We are not going

224
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: to get back on top of things with a few

225
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 3: weeks that we have left if you keep betting the Chiefs,

226
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: especially as heavy favorites. We know that it's never been

227
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: the thing to do. Let's rally. My teasers are in

228
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: the dumps. You still have life. Let's get into it.

229
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: None of us gonna pass the night. You know we

230
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: have to be better. All right.

231
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: Well that's really well done by you, guys. I didn't

232
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: see that coming. Now. I didn't realize I'd bet on

233
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: the Chiefs six times this year. I didn't realize that

234
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: every time I've done it, I've said I typically don't.

235
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,719
Speaker 2: Now six times is you know we're sixteen weeks into

236
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: the year. That's not even every other week. I also

237
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: will say this, if I was looking at that correctly,

238
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: I'm two and four betting the Chiefs one of those

239
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 2: losses was the Jets game when Mahomes took a knee

240
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: instead of scoring a touchdown that would have given me

241
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: a cover, right. Another one was the Bills game when

242
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: the referees stole the cover from me. So in my heart,

243
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: I'm four and two betting the Chiefs the Packers. One

244
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: was bad. I got that one wrong, and I don't

245
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: even know what the other the Backers item laying six

246
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 2: they lost by eight, and I don't even know what

247
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: the other one was where I didn't cover. But uh yeah,

248
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I thought about including them in Week

249
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: sixteen against the Raiders minus ten. I didn't. Well, by

250
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: the time you guys see this, we'll know whether or

251
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: not that covered. Uh But what is noteworthy is in

252
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: the history of Nick's picks, I don't think I've ever

253
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: bet against the Chiefs, which is probably bad process. I've

254
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: never once taken the team playing the Chiefs to cover.

255
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 2: That's probably bad process. I can admit that, all right.

256
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: Next, you are the harshest critic on the then two

257
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: time reigning MVP Nicola Jokic in early twenty twenty three.

258
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: This is the part that kills me about the voters

259
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: A lot of them are talking at folks or writers

260
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: and they make predictions. Very few are picking the Nuggets

261
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: to win the title. Why not? The West is wide open,

262
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: they have the best player, they have home court. Shouldn't

263
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: they be the title pick unless you actually, deep down

264
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: don't think he's the best player, in which case, stop

265
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 2: giving him the MVP every year.

266
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 3: And why you have come around to the on the

267
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 3: Serbian It did take a while to get there. How

268
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 3: hard was it to swallow this one?

269
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: Well, listen, I was wrong on certain things, and.

270
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: So here's just wrong. You were just wrong?

271
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: Well, well, I was wrong about his ceiling and how

272
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: great of a player he was. There's no doubt I

273
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: was wrong about that. I didn't see what other people saw.

274
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: I was wrong about that. I was not wrong that

275
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: giving him a third straight MVP would have been crazy.

276
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: I was not wrong that giving him the back to

277
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: back MVP when his team was a sixth seed I

278
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: thought was the wrong result. I still feel that way

279
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 2: about those MVP awards, that it was giving the a

280
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: second straight MVP when MVPs, except for Russ, had always

281
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: come from teams that were a top three seed, and

282
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: certainly not breaking the President we're not gonna have a

283
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 2: third straight MVP. I stand by all those I was

284
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: wrong about how good he was and wrong about what

285
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: the Nuggets could do. I was wrong about those things.

286
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: My feelings about the historical precedent mattering for MVP awards.

287
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: I don't feel like I was wrong about those. I don't,

288
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: But I was wrong about the big picture stuff. What

289
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: demanse go ahead?

290
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: I mean, the third year that you said he shouldn't

291
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 3: got the MVP, he went on to win the finals. Yeah,

292
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: still on the same side of that argument.

293
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: Because everyone because hold on, okay, because so for two reasons,

294
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 2: if I may just quickly, one is leading into that.

295
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: When I was making the case the guy just got

296
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 2: bounced in round one, let's not give him a third

297
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 2: straight MVP, everyone told me I'm a clown and that

298
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 2: it's a regular season award for this year only, so

299
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: what happens in the postseason shouldn't matter. Now folks are saying, oh,

300
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 2: now the postseason does matter. I agree, the postseason matters,

301
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 2: which is why in a just world he wouldn't have

302
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: won it the year before, and then he could have

303
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 2: won it last year. But overall, yeah, I was wrong

304
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 2: about yo kics, that's correct, but the MVP stuff I

305
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 2: stand by next.

306
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 3: Next. You might not call this a losing take, but

307
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 3: I am. We will. You had two fifty to one

308
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 3: tickets this year and you were so close the Chiefs Eagles,

309
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 3: Super Bowl EXACTA and the Lakers to win the finals.

310
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: The producers and I begged you to hedge, and you

311
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: refuse to time after time and ended up losing. Would

312
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 3: you take it back, knowing what you know now?

313
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: No, absolutely not.

314
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't.

315
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 2: And here's the thing. Here's the thing that I don't

316
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 2: that maybe I don't want to sound fatalistic, but the

317
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: fact of the matter is this, I'm gonna die with money

318
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: leftover unless something goes terribly awry when I'm when I die,

319
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: there's gonna be some amount of money left. I'm not

320
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: gonna have drawn down to zero. So all of these

321
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: me not hedging. It just is actually costing demands a

322
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: door Indiana money. It just draws down what they eventually

323
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: will get. Like so, I'm fine, I got a good job,

324
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: I live a good life, and I'm not hedging. I

325
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: don't gamble to hedge. What's the T shirt we were

326
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 2: gonna make? I'm a goddamn gambler. The I'm not hedging.

327
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,959
Speaker 2: I forgot what it was, but it would have been

328
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,479
Speaker 2: a good, good T shirt. All right, last one, go ahead?

329
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: All right. Admittedly you could still be right on this one,

330
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: but fading the forty nine ers has not has not

331
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 3: looked great this season. In the preseason gambling show, you

332
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: bet them to win under ten and a half games

333
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 3: and raise plenty of red flags about their season to come.

334
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 3: They're the number one seed in the NFC. Now it's

335
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 3: not too late to join me in the public. Do

336
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 3: you think this will turn into a category of two?

337
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 3: Take or will uh? Or will I be proven right?

338
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: No, it's a category. It's gonna be. It's gonna be

339
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 2: my most legendary category.

340
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 3: Two.

341
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 2: This is gonna be so glorious when six days after

342
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 2: I am proven right on a massive playoff stage, when

343
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: the Niners with the script will probably be something like this.

344
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: The Niners are playing a playoff, the NFC championship game,

345
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 2: and somebody makes a mistake, somebody fumbles, or there's a

346
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: tipped pass, pick or something, and all of a sudden,

347
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: the games not perty's fault. The game script goes against

348
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 2: the Niners and they're playing from behind, and then, as

349
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 2: we saw perty that month, he had to play from behind,

350
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 2: the picks come, the mistakes come. All that's gonna happen.

351
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: I am going to be able to be the one

352
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: media member that never wavered and four days later he's

353
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: gonna be handed the league's MVP Award. That's what's gonna happen.

354
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 2: So this will be a category two. Our producer, Victor,

355
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 2: Victor hold it up for the camera. We actually did

356
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 2: make these T shirts. I forgot it and we just

357
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: never sold them. We should sell them in trintage. Can

358
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: we all have this T shirt? Hedging is for cowards

359
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 2: and stock traders. I'm a gambler. Oh, I love it.

360
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: I want to wear that T shirt. I love that.

361
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: I didn't even know we actually had a mate. See
