0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Welcome in special episode of What's Right with Nick Wright

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Ever bringing you today for the holiday break, if you will,

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 2>where We're gonna look at four of what I've been

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 2>told are my best takes of the year, and that

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 2>must have been hard work. I mean, I for the

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 2>producers to find just four. I mean We've got all

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:07.039
<v Speaker 2>these episodes, all these takes, and the producers had to

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 2>spend their you know days, right before Christmas finding just

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 2>the four best, and then equally hard, I would imagine

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.160
<v Speaker 2>be finding my four worst, because how many episodes did

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>you listen to start to finish all sixty minutes and

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 2>you're like, damn, not a single bad one. I mean,

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 2>that's a lot of work for you guys that you

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 2>guys are putting in the extra hours around the holidays,

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 2>which I greatly appreciate. Demand. Let's start with the best,

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 2>and we should have some sound associated with all these demons.

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, what's the first one?

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 3>You started off twenty twenty three with an all time heater.

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 3>You doubled down on the prince that was promised in

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 3>the Jags beating the Chargers in the playoffs last year,

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 3>even when they were down twenty seven points, you still

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 3>bet on your guy, Trevor Lawrence and it paid off.

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 3>You celebrated with a victorious IG Live.

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 2>The Jaguars were four and eight, and somebody had the

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 2>foresight to say, they're still winning the division. And I

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 2>told you guys a month ago that the next time

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.239
<v Speaker 2>they lose was gonna be in Arrowhead to the Chiefs

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 2>in the divisional round. No, you don't say everybody laughed

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 2>at me.

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:15.840
<v Speaker 3>To undefeated on Saturday.

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:20.679
<v Speaker 2>Undefeated on Saturdays. I forgot about that stupid take I had.

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 3>Does this belong in your top four winning takes?

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Definitely. You were there with me for that watching

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 2>that whole game. That was crazy and the I mean,

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't looking great in the first half. We're not

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna lie. Uh And you know what take, what take

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 2>other people had that I didn't, That actually is a

0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>take that aged really well, was that the Chargers should

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.080
<v Speaker 2>have fired Staley right after that game, that they should

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>have moved on from him right there, that they weren't

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna Yeah, and that was that one's not even mine

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>now Trevor. Unfortunately, Trevor this year he's dealt with some injury.

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.079
<v Speaker 2>I thought that he was gonna have an MVP caliber season.

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:11.919
<v Speaker 2>He obviously hasn't. I still think the Jags, if he's healthy,

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 2>are dangerous come to the playoffs. But yeah, we'll always

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>have last year when I never abandoned the two and seven.

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.959
<v Speaker 2>I think they were at one point Jacksonville Jaguars all

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.399
<v Speaker 2>the way to a playoff victory, and then they went

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.839
<v Speaker 2>to Arrowhead and threw a scare into my Chiefs after

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.919
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes got hurt. All right, next, all.

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 3>Right, next up, we have your most viral clip of

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 3>the year. When you called out the tush push.

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 2>I said it six months ago. I'll say it again,

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>I will eventually be proven right that tush push play

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 2>is a.

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 3>Blight on the league.

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 2>It's bad for the sport. It should not be allowed.

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 2>The reason the NFL will ban this is because the

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>place sucks. It's not exciting, it takes all suspense out.

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 2>It's an ugly play. That's it. The NFL changes rules

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>all the time to make things a better television product.

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 3>He said it was an unattractive play and that it

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 3>was bad for TV and called that it will be banned.

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 3>A few months later that it will be banned, and

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 3>a few months later Commissioner Roger Gourdell caught out the

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 3>play for that exact same reason. We'll see if you're

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:24.920
<v Speaker 3>truly right after this season. But that's got to be

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 3>up there with one of your best ones, right well.

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Listen, I just I this is one of those times

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:35.919
<v Speaker 2>where I'm just surprised other that I'm allowed to be

0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 2>like the only person saying something when it's so obvious

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 2>to me, Like everyone was talking about should it be,

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 2>is it fair? Is it not fair? Is it dangerous?

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Is it alt risk? And it was just so obvious

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.039
<v Speaker 2>to me. None of that matters. The NFL is a

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>television show, and this is terrible television. The NFL is

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:03.599
<v Speaker 2>going to change it. And now what you're seeing already,

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I believe, just my hypothesis is the NFL is trying

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 2>to almost grease the skids to changing it by enforcing

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 2>more procedural penalties on it. You saw Jason Galzie get

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 2>penalized for moving the football on it this past week

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 2>because they do not want that to be a central

0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 2>part of the offense for one of their marquee teams.

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 2>That was so clear that that was gonna happen next.

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 3>You were right on your Chiefs at the at the

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 3>beginning of the year through the end with your mantra

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.919
<v Speaker 3>never a doubt on their way to their second Lombardy

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 3>of the Mahomes era.

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.719
<v Speaker 2>Who could have seen it coming? This God Doog show,

0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 2>that's who could have seen it coming? Let's go, Oh

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 2>it's the Bills year. Oh the Bengals have their number.

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh they're gonna miss Tyreek Hill. Oh mahomes Is hurt.

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Ain't a day thing matter when you have that quarterback

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:04.719
<v Speaker 2>and that coach.

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Your confidence continued to grow as you made some prold

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 3>predictions for this season. Will this become a Category two

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 3>take well?

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 2>The undefeated year obviously is you know, died on Opening Night,

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 2>which almost almost made it so bad it was good.

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 3>That almost like.

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Calling for a team to go twenty and oh and

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 2>they don't get to one and oh is just kind

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:32.479
<v Speaker 2>of like hilarious. And had they like started five and

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 2>oh and then lost, it wouldn't have the same panache.

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:37.719
<v Speaker 3>As what happened.

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Yea. Now I believe the Chiefs are gonna win the

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl, and I though the way my super Bowl

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 2>pick is Chiefs Cowboys. It would be great. I was

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.600
<v Speaker 2>so close to having it dead on last year, and

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure we'll talk about that later when I had

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs Niners. Yes, I'd love to have a Chiefs Cowboys

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 2>super Bowl. But the most fun for me, for the

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 2>TV show for everyone is a Chiefs Niners super Bowl.

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 2>That's the most fun. The most fun is if PERTY

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 2>just keeps rolling, wins a League MVP days before the

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl, and then takes on the Chiefs. That's the

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 2>outcome that I think sports fans deserve. I don't think

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 2>that's the outcome they're going to get because I don't

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 2>think the Niners are gonna get there, But that would

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 2>be that would feel like the highest stakes for me

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:49.080
<v Speaker 2>of any Super Bowl imaginable. All right, last one, have

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 2>you ever.

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 3>Been more right on someone than Draymond Green this year?

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 3>He's always gotten into on the court trouble. But after

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 3>a Shenanigans in Sacramento, you said the juice is no

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 3>longer the squeeze. Well, dreywond kept going down the same road.

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and so we'll see. Listen, I I want to

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 2>be I mean, obviously Draymond's not dealing with the decline

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 2>of his team and his play well, and he's going

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 2>through some things I don't I don't really buy though

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I've said it before and I'll say it again. The

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 2>punishment of like has to go to counseling and it's indefinite.

0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't jive with the fact that he said it was

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.079
<v Speaker 2>an accident. He said this last thing he didn't mean

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 2>to do. And so you if you're someone who it

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 2>is a clumsy analogy, I apologize, but has gotten two

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:53.199
<v Speaker 2>DUIs and then you get arrested for a third and

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 2>you tell your friends, family, everyone that will listen. Guys,

0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I know I've made mistakes in the past. Time I

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't have a drop to drink. I fell asleep, the

0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:10.240
<v Speaker 2>cop was wrong. He's I'm going to fight this. I

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 2>know I've made mistakes. I was not drinking. And then

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.319
<v Speaker 2>the next day you check into rehab. It's like, well,

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 2>hold on, wait a minute. Draymond sat at that press

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 2>conference and said I was trying to flop. I did

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 2>not mean to hit him, and then the next day

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 2>the NBA says you need to basically undergo counseling for

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 2>anger management.

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 3>Well hold on.

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 2>So, in my opinion, part of Draymond, since it's an

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>indefinite suspension, part of his return to play, should have

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:43.680
<v Speaker 2>to be him. And you know acknowledging no, I was

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.680
<v Speaker 2>lying there. I definitely meant to hit him because I'm

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:50.079
<v Speaker 2>a maniac at this moment of my career on the court,

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 2>and the part of it that's the It sucks for

0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Steph because Steph is somehow as good as ever. Clay

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.199
<v Speaker 2>is coming on a bit, but we know Clay is

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:05.239
<v Speaker 2>a diminished player, and Draymond is flailing about literally and physically.

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, last one, DeMont before we get to and

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know how they found four of them,

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 2>but go ahead.

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:15.079
<v Speaker 3>You got a quick bonus take here. So I was

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 3>away some time ago at you and Dora had a

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.439
<v Speaker 3>debate over a which was the best barbecue spot or

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 3>barbecue place between Kansas City and Houston.

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of a general consensus that Texas has the

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:28.600
<v Speaker 4>best barbecue, and.

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:32.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you that that is nonsense. If we are

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:38.920
<v Speaker 2>ranking barbecue, it's Kansas City one, Memphis two, the Carolinas three.

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 2>That's the list.

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 4>Number one is Texas according to what DOORA second is

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:48.439
<v Speaker 4>Memphis according to what do Youora heard is Kansas City, Missouri.

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 2>According to what do youorra Google? You agree with me

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 2>on this right that Texas barbecues is good but overrated,

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 2>and Kansaity barbecue is the best barbecue of anywhere in

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the world.

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:04.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't go as far as to

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 3>call it overrated, but Kansas City barbecue is definitely better

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 3>than Texas. And I'm basing that much.

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 2>It's only it's only overrated by people who say it's

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.839
<v Speaker 2>the best. Something can be good but not even close

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 2>to the best. And your sister really infuriated me that show.

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 2>She was like, no, it's Texas. Everybody knows it. I'm like,

0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.440
<v Speaker 2>what do you mean? She's like, look and she she

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 2>was like, look at this and showed me like a

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Google page where it was like Texas is the best,

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Give me a break. That was the worst take. Door

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't give many takes, but that was the worst take

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.600
<v Speaker 2>anyone gave was the Texas over Kansaity barbecue. All right,

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 2>what am I losing takes? What are we doing here?

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 3>We're losing takes? All right? You may have been right

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 3>on Casey last season and maybe right on them again

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 3>this year. Maybe, But when it comes to betting on

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.199
<v Speaker 3>your Chiefs, let's just say you have not done your best.

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:03.200
<v Speaker 3>It's actually an intervention. We are urging you to please

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 3>stop betting the Chiefs.

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh, Nick, you always picked the Chiefs. False.

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:12.440
<v Speaker 3>I definitely knew.

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.120
<v Speaker 2>I definitely knew that I tend not to include the

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs and Knicks picks.

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no.

0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 2>But I typically, and you know this, Demanse, do not

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 2>pick the Chiefs and Knicks picks.

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 3>That's my favorite saying.

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't typically put the Chiefs in Knicks picks because

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 2>they're not a great covering team. And you guys know

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't pick the Chiefs every week. The Chiefs actually

0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 2>are rarely in the picks. Two not three, not four,

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.960
<v Speaker 2>not five, not fixed. Yeah, I think Ken City went.

0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 2>It's when it's only a point and a half spread,

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.839
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to do much analysis. Who do you

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 2>think is gonna win?

0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 3>Stop it, get some help. Just stop betting with your heart,

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 3>bet with your mind. You're straying away from the process.

0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 3>Let's get back to the process. We are not going

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 3>to get back on top of things with a few

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.079
<v Speaker 3>weeks that we have left if you keep betting the Chiefs,

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 3>especially as heavy favorites. We know that it's never been

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 3>the thing to do. Let's rally. My teasers are in

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.040
<v Speaker 3>the dumps. You still have life. Let's get into it.

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:13.120
<v Speaker 3>None of us gonna pass the night. You know we

0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 3>have to be better. All right.

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Well that's really well done by you, guys. I didn't

0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 2>see that coming. Now. I didn't realize I'd bet on

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.200
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs six times this year. I didn't realize that

0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 2>every time I've done it, I've said I typically don't.

0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Now six times is you know we're sixteen weeks into

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.120
<v Speaker 2>the year. That's not even every other week. I also

0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.840
<v Speaker 2>will say this, if I was looking at that correctly,

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm two and four betting the Chiefs one of those

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:45.079
<v Speaker 2>losses was the Jets game when Mahomes took a knee

0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 2>instead of scoring a touchdown that would have given me

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:52.680
<v Speaker 2>a cover, right. Another one was the Bills game when

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 2>the referees stole the cover from me. So in my heart,

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm four and two betting the Chiefs the Packers. One

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 2>was bad. I got that one wrong, and I don't

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 2>even know what the other the Backers item laying six

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 2>they lost by eight, and I don't even know what

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 2>the other one was where I didn't cover. But uh yeah,

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, listen, I thought about including them in Week

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 2>sixteen against the Raiders minus ten. I didn't. Well, by

0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 2>the time you guys see this, we'll know whether or

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 2>not that covered. Uh But what is noteworthy is in

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.200
<v Speaker 2>the history of Nick's picks, I don't think I've ever

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 2>bet against the Chiefs, which is probably bad process. I've

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 2>never once taken the team playing the Chiefs to cover.

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 2>That's probably bad process. I can admit that, all right.

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 3>Next, you are the harshest critic on the then two

0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 3>time reigning MVP Nicola Jokic in early twenty twenty three.

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:51.720
<v Speaker 2>This is the part that kills me about the voters

0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 2>A lot of them are talking at folks or writers

0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 2>and they make predictions. Very few are picking the Nuggets

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 2>to win the title. Why not? The West is wide open,

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:06.680
<v Speaker 2>they have the best player, they have home court. Shouldn't

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 2>they be the title pick unless you actually, deep down

0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 2>don't think he's the best player, in which case, stop

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.160
<v Speaker 2>giving him the MVP every year.

0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 3>And why you have come around to the on the

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 3>Serbian It did take a while to get there. How

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:24.200
<v Speaker 3>hard was it to swallow this one?

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, I was wrong on certain things, and.

0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.720
<v Speaker 3>So here's just wrong. You were just wrong?

0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, well, I was wrong about his ceiling and how

0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 2>great of a player he was. There's no doubt I

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 2>was wrong about that. I didn't see what other people saw.

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I was wrong about that. I was not wrong that

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 2>giving him a third straight MVP would have been crazy.

0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.840
<v Speaker 2>I was not wrong that giving him the back to

0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:03.840
<v Speaker 2>back MVP when his team was a sixth seed I

0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:08.600
<v Speaker 2>thought was the wrong result. I still feel that way

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 2>about those MVP awards, that it was giving the a

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:18.000
<v Speaker 2>second straight MVP when MVPs, except for Russ, had always

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 2>come from teams that were a top three seed, and

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 2>certainly not breaking the President we're not gonna have a

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 2>third straight MVP. I stand by all those I was

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.160
<v Speaker 2>wrong about how good he was and wrong about what

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 2>the Nuggets could do. I was wrong about those things.

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 2>My feelings about the historical precedent mattering for MVP awards.

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't feel like I was wrong about those. I don't,

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 2>But I was wrong about the big picture stuff. What

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:45.680
<v Speaker 2>demanse go ahead?

0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the third year that you said he shouldn't

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 3>got the MVP, he went on to win the finals. Yeah,

0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 3>still on the same side of that argument.

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Because everyone because hold on, okay, because so for two reasons,

0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:07.440
<v Speaker 2>if I may just quickly, one is leading into that.

0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 2>When I was making the case the guy just got

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.160
<v Speaker 2>bounced in round one, let's not give him a third

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:16.919
<v Speaker 2>straight MVP, everyone told me I'm a clown and that

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.919
<v Speaker 2>it's a regular season award for this year only, so

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:23.480
<v Speaker 2>what happens in the postseason shouldn't matter. Now folks are saying, oh,

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:27.680
<v Speaker 2>now the postseason does matter. I agree, the postseason matters,

0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:31.320
<v Speaker 2>which is why in a just world he wouldn't have

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 2>won it the year before, and then he could have

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 2>won it last year. But overall, yeah, I was wrong

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.199
<v Speaker 2>about yo kics, that's correct, but the MVP stuff I

0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:40.440
<v Speaker 2>stand by next.

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.639
<v Speaker 3>Next. You might not call this a losing take, but

0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 3>I am. We will. You had two fifty to one

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 3>tickets this year and you were so close the Chiefs Eagles,

0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.160
<v Speaker 3>Super Bowl EXACTA and the Lakers to win the finals.

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.960
<v Speaker 3>The producers and I begged you to hedge, and you

0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 3>refuse to time after time and ended up losing. Would

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 3>you take it back, knowing what you know now?

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 2>No, absolutely not.

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:08.440
<v Speaker 3>No, I wouldn't.

0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:10.680
<v Speaker 2>And here's the thing. Here's the thing that I don't

0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:17.119
<v Speaker 2>that maybe I don't want to sound fatalistic, but the

0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.680
<v Speaker 2>fact of the matter is this, I'm gonna die with money

0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:25.040
<v Speaker 2>leftover unless something goes terribly awry when I'm when I die,

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.080
<v Speaker 2>there's gonna be some amount of money left. I'm not

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:31.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna have drawn down to zero. So all of these

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 2>me not hedging. It just is actually costing demands a

0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 2>door Indiana money. It just draws down what they eventually

0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:43.200
<v Speaker 2>will get. Like so, I'm fine, I got a good job,

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 2>I live a good life, and I'm not hedging. I

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.600
<v Speaker 2>don't gamble to hedge. What's the T shirt we were

0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:53.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna make? I'm a goddamn gambler. The I'm not hedging.

0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:56.959
<v Speaker 2>I forgot what it was, but it would have been

0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.479
<v Speaker 2>a good, good T shirt. All right, last one, go ahead?

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.280
<v Speaker 3>All right. Admittedly you could still be right on this one,

0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 3>but fading the forty nine ers has not has not

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:10.359
<v Speaker 3>looked great this season. In the preseason gambling show, you

0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 3>bet them to win under ten and a half games

0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 3>and raise plenty of red flags about their season to come.

0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.200
<v Speaker 3>They're the number one seed in the NFC. Now it's

0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 3>not too late to join me in the public. Do

0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:22.840
<v Speaker 3>you think this will turn into a category of two?

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Take or will uh? Or will I be proven right?

0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 2>No, it's a category. It's gonna be. It's gonna be

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:30.920
<v Speaker 2>my most legendary category.

0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:31.160
<v Speaker 3>Two.

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:36.879
<v Speaker 2>This is gonna be so glorious when six days after

0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I am proven right on a massive playoff stage, when

0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 2>the Niners with the script will probably be something like this.

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:49.960
<v Speaker 2>The Niners are playing a playoff, the NFC championship game,

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:55.879
<v Speaker 2>and somebody makes a mistake, somebody fumbles, or there's a

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 2>tipped pass, pick or something, and all of a sudden,

0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:02.879
<v Speaker 2>the games not perty's fault. The game script goes against
