00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: alongside me a man who can boil the perfect six

5
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: minute egg. It's Tassmelus.

6
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 3: My wife Danielle is a liar. We're gonna need daniel

7
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 3: Dale a fact checker on that. It's a seven minute egg. Ooh,

8
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: she put that in a book that's gonna live on forever.

9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 4: But isn't the recipe for the six minute egg in

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 4: her book?

11
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,640

Speaker 5: I've never read her recipe. How would I know?

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 4: Well, the yolks, I think, get a little too hard

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 4: at seven minutes. I think you want to if you

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 4: want a nice soft boiler six minutes. I think she's right.

18

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,040

00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: Nice, very nice, and finally making all this magic happen

29
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: once again, live from his basement here in Atlanta's JD.

30
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 5: Hello, there is here we are.

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: We almost have the whole band back together, minus Lee,

32
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: of course, who is still down in Australia playing hoops

33
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: with as many NBA legends as one can find. Played

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: with Tim Hardaway. Now he's got Alan Houston. Who's next

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: jump a Houston.

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: Maybe Walter McCarty.

37
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: Actually could bet on the next NBA legend Lee Ellis

38
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: will shoot around with. But he's having a blast obviously

39
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,919
Speaker 2: getting ready for some of these USA Boomers games.

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 4: Is anyone else concerned that the entire country of Australia

41
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: is Truman showingly go on like he's there and they're

42
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: all pretending that he's like this huge star and they're

43
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 4: super excited to see him and to make him happy.

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: For some reason, maybe he's dying.

45
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: I am concerned he's getting worn out. He looks a

46
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 3: little tired of in the videos, in the photos because

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: they are treating him like a superstar.

48
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 5: He's been doing a lot of interviews.

49
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 4: I love not hearing anything from from Leaf in the

50
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: Slack channel for about eight weeks and then just a message,

51
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: I'm interviewing Tim Hadow. I see tomorrow. Everyone's respond Everyone's response,

00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 2: Why?

54
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 4: Not?

55
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:45,960

Speaker 2: to do another summer mail bag episode here, so JD

67
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: let's do it. Let's hit the beach.

68
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,839
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it feels good. It feels very good.

69
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: That's sand between your toes.

70
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: Nothing better than the sandy.

71
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: Flapping of the waves as you print out some pieces

72
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: of paper and read some emails and tweets and Instagram dms.

73
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: We added that this time. All right, so we got

74
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: tons of questions. Let's get right into it. We got

75
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: some NBA questions, We have some FEBA questions, We got

76
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: some other miscellaneous questions. We are going to address the

77
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: mystery of Mattio. So where you've been also, but we

78
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: know at least we can keep track ofly, we don't

79
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: even know where you've been and what you're doing. But

80
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: first question, it is basketball about the NBA. Does DeMarcus

81
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: cousins recent injury raise any serious concerns for the Lakers

82
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: moving forward? Or will JaVale McGee be able to have

83
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: the same, if not better production that one from at

84
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: Big Woodall. So, yeah, this was sort of the news

85
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 2: of the last week or so. DeMarcus Cousins goes down again,

86
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: this time a torn ACL which I mean like now

87
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: he's torn his achilles, He's torn his ACL. He had

88
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: the quadricep injury in the playoffs. Poor guy can't catch

89
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: a break here. But what effect does this sort of

90
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: have on the Lakers you think heading into the season

91
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 2: And who do they maybe get to sort of back

92
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: him up to a back up javal McGee or can

93
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 2: he do it by himself? What do you think?

94
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: I think it stinks for DeMarcus.

95
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 3: Obviously, the two worst leg injuries a player can have

96
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: and are we going to ever see him again really

97
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: on a basketball floor?

98
00:04:59,080 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 5: Who the heck knows.

99
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 3: I think just to say from mister Woodall here that

100
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: Javal McGee will have the same production is a little

101
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: disrespectful to DeMarcus Cousins.

102
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 5: I know he loves.

103
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: I don't think Javal's posting up this. I don't think

104
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: they're dumping it down in for the hook shots.

105
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: Mister Woodhall, have you ever seen JaVale McGee do that.

106
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: I think it simplifies the way they play. They just

107
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: go back to what they did last year in Javail

108
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 3: was just a dunking machine. And so you're not gonna

109
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: have DeMarcus Cousins being awesome. You're gonna have Jamale McGhee

110
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: rim running and so, yeah, they need a backup center.

111
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 5: So I don't think it's how.

112
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: Well, Yeah, let's go through the names. Dwight, Howard, Joe Kim, Noah,

113
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: Maurice Spates, Marching, Gore, Tat, maybe Kenneth for Reid. Maybe

114
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 2: there's whispers maybe of a Tyson Chandler. I guess you

115
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 2: don't like.

116
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 5: Maybe it's because I'm looking at Trey and his man bund, right, now.

117
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 5: But I think it's Joe Kim.

118
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: Noah for what reason defense, because.

119
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 3: Because he'll fit into the backup role perfectly. Dwight Howard,

120
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: you don't know what you're getting. I mean, basically, the

121
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: the Lakers are going to be what the Golden State

122
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: Warriors were in the championship years with JaVale McGee, Jail

123
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 3: mcg He starts Anthony Davis as his four beside him,

124
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 3: and then when Javille McGee goes to the bench, dream

125
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 3: On Green would have been that center. And that's what

126
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis should be doing at the end of games

127
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 3: in the same way. But when you have Dwight Howard

128
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 3: in there, he's not gonna play that role the way

129
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 3: Jokim Noah would play that role perfectly. Just go to

130
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: the bench and play that backup fight.

131
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: Are you sure?

132
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: If I feel like every time Dwight Howard in the

133
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: summer Soody signs him, he's like, I'm all I'm gonna

134
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: do this time is rebound and block shots and run

135
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: the room. That's all I'm gonna do.

136
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, are you gonna fart?

137
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,679
Speaker 2: Dway, Oh, I'm gonna fart.

138
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: Come on. Lebron has been Uh, he's been making a

139
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: killing off Taco Tuesday this summer. Maybe he would be

140
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: happy to get some farts and Fridas fart Fridays. Uh yeah,

141
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: to me, Joe Kim, Noah is the guy to bring

142
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: in as well. He was sending doubles to Devin Booker

143
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: in a pickup game and Booker hated it, and Joe

144
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: games like, Hey, this is what we do. And I

145
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: think he's right. I think that uh, Lebron would like

146
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: having a guy that he played against. We've seen that

147
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: in the past. He liked having Lance Stevenson around last year,

148
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: Rondo last year as well. He knows that Noah's gonna

149
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: be a competitor, a good team guy, somebody ever has

150
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: to pass the ball to. He just needs to play defense,

151
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: run the court and hand it to Lebron and Anthony Davis.

152
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: I think he could be the guy. I can see

153
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: Gore Top being the guy as well. Just somebody that's

154
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: going to roll to the rim. But like tas to saying,

155
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: the real solution is that Anthony Davis has to play

156
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: more center. He doesn't want to, but he's still going to.

157
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna use whoever they sign for this second backup

158
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: as a backup, it'll be Javail, and then it'll be

159
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of this backup center, whoever it is,

160
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: and then it'll be Anthony Davis. They got to get

161
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: forty eight minutes out of those guys. The more they

162
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: can get out of their two pseudo centers, the more

163
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: they can save the wear and tear on ad. But

164
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: it's all on Lebron and Ad' that's the story of

165
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: the Lakers this year. It doesn't really matter that DeMarcus

166
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: is hurt. He would raise their ceilings for certain games.

167
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: But as we saw wild Car exactly right.

168
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: Their championship contention.

169
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but still, I mean we saw DeMarcus Cousins was

170
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: that for the Warriors, and he had one good game

171
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: where he had twelve and twelve. Twelve and twelve is nice,

172
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: but it's still just twelve and twelve. Yeah, the main

173
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: guys have to be the main guys.

174
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now you're sort of if you were hoping

175
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: Cousins was your third star, you are now definitely all

176
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: in on. Hey, Kuzma, you've got to be Oh, yeah,

177
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: you have to be the third guy, and he maybe

178
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: will be. And I know we'll get into FIBA and

179
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: maybe he makes the team. Maybe he doesn't, but he

180
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: has to be I don't know, like nearly a twenty

181
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: point per game score and actually give him a more

182
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: effort on defense and not kill you on that end.

183
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: I think for them to win a title, yeah, it's

184
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: a d and Lebron, but they need help as well.

185
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: You need Danny Green and you need KCP and these

186
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: guys to contribute.

187
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: Kuzma is one of those great summer guys because right

188
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: now he looks amazing.

189
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 5: He looks his jeans.

190
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: You're talking about.

191
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 5: Physically, Yeah, the look is cool. Yeah, I think I

192
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 5: like the blonde look. I think it was the same.

193
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 5: I think it looks good.

194
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 2: He can pull it off. He's got the confidence and

195
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: he's got the I don't give a you know shit

196
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: about what anyone thinks.

197
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: There. Man, let it fly, let it fly. Yeah, Man,

198
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: let that ship fly.

199
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 3: Kuzma lets those shots fly. We can let those ships fly.

200
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 3: And he played a little five to not not that

201
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 3: it's good when he plays five, but he can probably

202
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: eat up some minutes. But I think we're kind of

203
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: short changing the because I know he came back and

204
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 3: I had one good game in the in the finals.

205
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 3: But if he could get back to you know, like

206
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: seventy five percent of what he was like he was,

207
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 3: you know, had good numbers in the regular season last year.

208
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 3: But it's just it just keeps things real simple.

209
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: Now.

210
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 3: Tray's right in that it's on Lebron and eighty shoulders

211
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: really just a score a poop ton. They have to

212
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: do a lot, And yeah, Kuzma can be that that

213
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: third guy. And again I kind of believe in kus

214
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 3: I don't know, he's got that swagger, so yeah, why not.

215
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: He played well at times off the ball with Lebron.

216
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: I mean when other guys struggled, he was the only

217
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 2: guy Lebron. Yeah, that's right, and he didn't even he's

218
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: he's a weird like, yeah, he's a bucket get or

219
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: he's a scorer, but he's not like all that efficient

220
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: so far right in his career. So he needs to

221
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: be better at that. But back to Cousins, You're right.

222
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 2: I saw that Jeff Stotts, that guy that runs like

223
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: in street clothes, that breaks down like analyzes all the

224
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: injuries and stuff like that. He couldn't find a single

225
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: instance of a player rupturing both their achilles and their

226
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 2: acl across all sports, not just NBA, like you because

227
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: you were you sort of slipped it in there the

228
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: like maybe we've seen I don't know. Will we ever

229
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: see Cousins again. I would hope so, But that's a

230
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: lot to come back from. Oh yeah, on top of

231
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: the quadriceps injury.

232
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 3: We'll see him on Twitter shooting. But I don't know

233
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: if he'll be in an NBA game. He'll be rehabbing

234
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 3: with the team. I think somebody will give him a shot,

235
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: but I think it's a fair question. Unfortunately, and he

236
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: lost a lot of money because of these injuries, no doubt.

237
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: All right, next question here. If we assume the top

238
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 3: seven in the West looks something like Clips, Rockets, Lakers, Blazers, Nuggets, Jazz,

239
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: and Warriors, not necessarily in that order, who's the eighth

240
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 3: team in Kings, Pelicans, MAVs. That's from Mike Lane twenty

241
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 3: one on Twitter.

242
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a hot topic, hot top final team.

243
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: I mean, do you agree with those seven teams for

244
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: the most part that Mike threw out there?

245
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 5: I agree, I think so too.

246
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 4: I guess it.

247
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: Some people are very low on the Warriors because of

248
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: obviously no Kdie and no Clay for a good chunk

249
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 2: of the season. Still got Stephan Draymond, you got DiAngelo,

250
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: You're well coached. I still think you're a playoff team.

251
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: I like the Steph quote when he heard somebody say

252
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 3: that he wasn't making the playoffs. He said, anybody can

253
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 3: say anything about anything these days, and he's right.

254
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: We've made a living. So okay, So if those seven

255
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: teams are in, that leaves eight other squads for one

256
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 2: final playoff spot. Who do you scratch right away? Sons

257
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: and Grizzlies, fair, yep, yep, they're They're out of the contention.

258
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 2: So that leaves six other teams. The three of them,

259
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: Mike said, Kings, Pelicans, MAVs, and then Spurs, Thunder and Wolves.

260
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: So who is it? I got the Spurs. I just

261
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: once and said who are the top eight teams? And

262
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: I just went through and said this thing, and this thing,

263
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: this thing, this team. I got to eight and I

264
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: realized I had counted the Spurs just assuming they'll be in.

265
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: I just assume the Spurs will be in. If they

266
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: make the playoffs this year, it will set the record

267
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: for most consecutive playoff appearances by an NBA franchise. They

268
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: still got Demarta Rosen. They still got LaMarcus Aldridge. Derek White,

269
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: as we saw in the playoffs last year, he seems

270
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: ready for a bigger role. Lonnie Walker got hell healthy,

271
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: Dejante Murray got Healthymary Carroll's coming in, Patty Mills is

272
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: still around, Rudy Gay whatever he can give them. I

273
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: think they have a lot of talent there. Greg Popovich

274
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: is still the coach. I don't see why they would

275
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: miss the playoffs. Sure, some of these other teams might

276
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: take leaps as well, but if the Spurs really going

277
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: to fall off. People ask that every single year and

278
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: guess what still hasn't happened.

279
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 3: It would be bonkers if Christaps Porzingis and Luka Doncic

280
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: missed the playoffs. I think if they're both healthy. But

281
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 3: this is why I'm excited for the season, is because

282
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: all those teams that have been mentioned are legitimate, not

283
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 3: only teams that can make the playoffs, but teams that

284
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 3: can make the second round in the conference finals, really legitimately.

285
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: And maybe not the Kings or somebody like that, but yeah,

286
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: the Spurs. The Wolves have Karl Anthony Towns. He's you know,

287
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 3: an all NBA type players as I mentioned Doncic and

288
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: porzingis this is awesome. In the Western Conference, it sucks,

289
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 3: you know, if you're in the West and you're in

290
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: nine to ten spot and you look over East, like

291
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: every year it sure seems like the last ten years,

292
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 3: well we could be like the sixth seed or the

293
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: fifth seed in the West or in the East. I

294
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: should say if you're if you're in the ninth or

295
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: tenth spot in the West.

296
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 5: But this is great.

297
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: This is not like the last five years where we

298
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 3: just expect warriors and caves for for the most part.

299
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,719
Speaker 2: The two like huge question mark teams to me are

300
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: the Pelicans because it's like, you know their team is

301
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: going to be led so to speak, by the number

302
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: one pick inside of Wimpson, which you know I think

303
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 2: he's gonna be awesome. Is he leading a team to

304
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: the playoffs in his first year. That's not easy to do,

305
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: especially in this loaded West. So they're a huge question

306
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: mark because they have a lot of talent. I like

307
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 2: what they've done this summer. There are pieces there that

308
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 2: make sense with JJ Reddick coming in and shooting, and

309
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 2: obviously you still got Drew and all that, and then

310
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: the MAVs he said it, it's like you're right, tasks

311
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: like a healthy Porzingis and a healthy Luka Doncic with

312
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 2: a well coached team that's, in theory is a really

313
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 2: good squad. But it's like, I don't know. It's Porzingis

314
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: first off, can he stay healthy? And then do all

315
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: the pieces can they can? They all fit together pretty quickly.

316
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: I'm going Kings. I'm gonna buy into the Kings with

317
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: Spurs year And then you said it the Spurs too.

318
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: You can almost always put them in, which makes this difficult.

319
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: But the Kings were a good team last year. They're

320
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 2: two best players maybe even three in Fox, Bagley and Bogdanovich.

321
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: They should just get better. And then they went and

322
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: they did add some like sort of veteran guys sort

323
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: of filling out the roster there to maybe help, you know,

324
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: pick up a couple wins here and there in tough games,

325
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: in close games. So you know, they were right there

326
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: last year, fell off near the end of the season.

327
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: That makes sense, but I like they almost like it's

328
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: like playoffs are busting a weird way to me with

329
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: that team, like really really close to that, like they

330
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: have to have a better record. Let's say this, say

331
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: they have a better record than they did last year,

332
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: which that nearly puts you into the playoffs kind of.

333
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: They were nine games out of the playoffs last year.

334
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: That would be a lot more wins to get this season.

335
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: I'm always a little hesitant to embrace the surprise team.

336
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: I think there that we saw with the Suns all

337
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: those years ago, where they had forty eight wins and

338
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: then they were terrible afterwards. You can catch the league

339
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: by surprise, and that's no doubt what happened with the

340
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: Kings last year. Nobody was expecting Fox to make the

341
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: jump that he made last year, or that the team

342
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: would kind of just gel around playing super fast. People

343
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: are gonna be expected in the play fast. Fox is

344
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: not an unknown player anymore. People are gonna be game

345
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: planning to take him out. Hopefully Badley makes a jump.

346
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: Like you're saying, Bogdanovitch should be better. They've all got

347
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: to be playing. I mean, I know that Fox and

348
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: Bagley didn't stick with the World team this year, but

349
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: at least they were playing with those guys through the summer.

350
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: Bogdanovitch is obviously still going for Serbia. The the idea

351
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: it definitely makes sense. But that's a lot more wins

352
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: to get nine more wins, and it's gonna take. I

353
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: mean it's a forty eight last year.

354
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a lot. I mean I wonder if

355
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: that's diluted a little bit because there's so many good

356
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: teams sure in the West, that they're sort of beating

357
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 2: up on each other a little bit. Maybe that drops

358
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: a bit, But you're right, like what forty six I guess,

359
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: and the minimum is likely what it is going to take.

360
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: It feels like the Spurs script is already written. There's

361
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 3: a bunch of guys on that team that no one

362
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 3: knows about, like every year with the Spurs. De Jonte

363
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: Murray coming back from a year where he was gone

364
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: with an injury, but he's an all defensive player. And

365
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 3: then Derek White beside him, who made a name his

366
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 3: name in the postseason, but as a guy that I

367
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 3: can never remember his first name. I see, I always

368
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 3: see White. He's like a d White, but I always

369
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 3: I think I think it's potentially a Durell, potentially a Darren.

370
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: I never buy that it's a Derek White. But either way,

371
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: he's really really good in that team. Like you said

372
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: Damar and LaMarcus, just like we sort of threw out

373
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: with Don Chic and Porzingis. Those guys are all NBA

374
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: guys as well.

375
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 2: So if you had that eighth spot, I'm going Kings.

376
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: I'll give me the Kings. Sounds like you're going Spurs

377
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 2: first and use.

378
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: I'll take the Masks, all right, I'm interested in them.

379
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: Got reaction to the eighth seed, Mattie Hoo. It's not easy.

380
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 4: It's not easy. Which teams are there?

381
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: Who plays in the NBA?

382
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 4: Man, that's been a long vacation.

383
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 2: Well, it's like, do you have any hope? You know,

384
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: the Thunder still with Chris Paul and if they stay

385
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: but a.

386
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: Mix of the Wolves.

387
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 2: The Wolves are the least talked about team. I feel like,

388
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: honestly this summer they really are. Outside of that D'Angelo

389
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: Russell was maybe going there a little blip. I feel

390
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: like they were just like the perfectly in you know,

391
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 2: in Nowhere's no man's land there in the Western cos

392
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: like they're not the worst, but they're not. No one's

393
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 2: really got them. Make them play.

394
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna take him seriously until they make the playoffs

395
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: and after the way the Jimmy Butler saga played out

396
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: with basically him calling out the other superstars on that

397
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: team for not playing hard enough. Everybody's like, Jimmy Butler

398
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: got you to the playoffs. We will believe it from

399
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: Wiggins and Towns when it actually happens. Maybe if Wiggans

400
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,959
Speaker 1: played for the Canadian national team, there would be some

401
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: buzzer around the Warriors.

402
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: We'll get We'll get into our anger with that. Who

403
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: are you going with? Did you decide?

404
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 4: Uh? Well, Actually, my prediction was going to be that

405
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 4: one of these top seven teams drops because it always happens.

406
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 4: There's always an injury to someone. Something always happens, where

407
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 4: one of these teams that were like penciling in could

408
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 4: be the LA like the Lakers last year.

409
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be the Lakers. Get true. Seems crazy,

410
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: but if Lebron has hit that part of his career

411
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 2: where those injuries are a real thing. Now he misses

412
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: half the season, ad always misses a good twenty five games.

413
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 4: And it'll be fun in your inevitable preview shows to ask, uh.

414
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: Is this the year the Spurs don't make the play

415
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: exciting to do it?

416
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: In January as well? You know when they're struggling a

417
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: little bit out of the playoffs.

418
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're done December.

419
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Rodeo trip, it's always you know, it's a

420
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: mile marker. Uh, it is tough, should be good. West

421
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: looks awesome? All right? Next one here, this one from

422
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: feed Campos Sting and Shaggy, great unthought combo. Which of

423
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 2: the fun thought? Yeah? Which of the new NBA pairings

424
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 2: will have the same surprising effect this upcoming season? It

425
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: is everybody has been talking about how it's the NBA

426
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: is now NBA jam it's all duos, So it's a

427
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 2: good one. Which which surprise? You know? Which new pairing

428
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 2: will have a surprising effect? Who else we get started here?

429
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: Will this effect take place on court? I don't know,

430
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: but I'm looking forward to seeing Jimmy Butler and Meyers

431
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: Leonard hanging out together in Miami. Those guys are gonna

432
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: be on the beach in the gym, wearing their short

433
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: little shorts and their tiny outfits, flexing their muscles because

434
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: I feel like they both like looking good and showing

435
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: off how good they look. I don't know that necessarily

436
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: the Heat are gonna be a great team. But Butler

437
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: and Leonard to me is a perfect mix of like

438
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: preening guys who are gonna, you know, be showing off

439
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: down at South Beach. So yeah, I'm looking forward to

440
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: their fit picks, no doubt. Interesting angles in this question

441
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: was Sorry, man, I'm going for an unthought combo. You

442
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: want men to be good together exactly.

443
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: You can't say.

444
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: PG and Kawhi. You can't say Adds and the Backstreet

445
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: Boys together. They go together. They should be on tour together.

446
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: Stinging Shaggy though you would have never thought of that,

447
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: and KOTBSB. That's right.

448
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 3: Well, Aslee explained, and as we heard when Lee uh uh,

449
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 3: you know, he kind of surmised the show and then

450
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 3: we heard some of these songs together, it's really sting

451
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 3: song and then Shaggy just jumps in with a you

452
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 3: know those are all right exactly. It's it's really it's

453
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 3: it's two guys that don't mix. It's oil and water, really,

454
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 3: but they kind of do their own things. It's Blake

455
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 3: Griffin and Derrek Rose for me, they'll never really gel.

456
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: They'll get one, we'll give the ball to the other

457
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 3: and then he'll do his thing and you'll watch the

458
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 3: Derrick Rose show a little bit. It's not that's not

459
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 3: the perfect analogy because Shaggy doesn't do as much as

460
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 3: Dereck Rose.

461
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 5: But maybe he does. Maybe it doesn't.

462
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 4: Blake, Yeah, Blake underneath it though, was an abiding love

463
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 4: of reggae. Know the police had a lot of reggae

464
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 4: influenced them. So what's what's the little link between Rose

465
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 4: and Griffin. It's not obvious, but it's there.

466
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: Number one mix, Yeah, sure, back to back years.

467
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 5: Wait on that.

468
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go as a rising effect. I mean, this

469
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 2: is a bit of a cheat, I guess because one

470
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 2: guy is a rookie, a number one pick. I know,

471
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: Lonzo Lonzo Ball and Zion Williamson. Give me your a

472
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: Lonzo ballstock. I'm buying it. If you're selling, I'm buying.

473
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see him in this system with guys

474
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 2: like obviously still with Ingram, but with a point guard

475
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: beside him and Drew a real point guard, and we

476
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: can play off the ball as well and can shoot.

477
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 2: And then in theories, Ion and Hayes run into the

478
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: rim like there could be some highlights here and that

479
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: could be fun. And I think now out of la

480
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: we've seen other guys leave LA and suddenly flourish. Dangelo

481
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 2: Russell obviously coming to mind, maybe that happens here with

482
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 2: with Lonzo and even Ingram to.

483
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: Some extent, they're definitely a league pass team. I mean,

484
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: I know they're on national TV like thirty times, which

485
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: is a lot for a team that could easily be

486
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: really really bad. But they're still gonna be worth watching

487
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: because you're saying they're gonna be a highlight factory fun.

488
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 5: All right, next question here we're getting into foeba.

489
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 3: Oh by that time of year, what percent chance do

490
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: you guys give a team outside of the USA winning

491
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 3: the World Cup? What team has the biggest chance of

492
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: beating the US in your opinion? Thanks for rank.

493
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 2: So this getting this gets underway end of August, right,

494
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: so soon about week and a half, thirty two thirty

495
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: two teams and they've got all their brady got the

496
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: eight to eight groups of four, and then the top

497
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: two teams in each group gets out and then you

498
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 2: move on from that. Yeah, the team USA is it's

499
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 2: I don't know, I guess at ten percent ten percent chance,

500
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 2: so I'm not still super high that another squad wins

501
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 2: outside of tm USA. Mainly just because they've won the

502
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 2: last two Feeble World Cups, for whatever that means. And

503
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: then the senior team hasn't lost a game in like

504
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: what two thousand and six, I don't like an actual,

505
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: you know, international game. Yes, they don't have the stars

506
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: Team USA right now, but it's still a good it's

507
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: still a better team than any other nation is putting together. Yeah,

508
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 2: Greece may have the best player in the whole tournament

509
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: in Gianness, and maybe Serbia is next, even with Jokic,

510
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 2: but then one through twelve is still by far, by

511
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 2: far Team USA. So and then coach pop So it's

512
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 2: ten percent? Is that high? Is that low?

513
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: What do you think that's high?

514
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 5: For me?

515
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like one percent. I do think there's I mean,

516
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: maybe Giannis has a fifty point game and Greece can

517
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: take down the United States and it's a replay of

518
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: two thousand and six all over again, and we're sad

519
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to deal with vuscillspanulas. But

520
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: every player in the US, the United States team is

521
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: an NBA player. That's not the case for any other country.

522
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 2: Australia has a lot of them, though it's still not

523
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: one has some obviously high end talent with Bogdanovic and

524
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 2: Neal Kitchen.

525
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it would be a schedule loss, which

526
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 3: is crazy in a sort of a single elimination tournament.

527
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 3: After the round robins, Yeah, the quarterfinals, they could play France,

528
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 3: which is one of those teams that you get a

529
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 3: Nando Dicolo happening in that sort of Vasilli Spinulis fashion

530
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 3: with Go Bear and Nicole Batoomb and Evan Fournier fired

531
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 3: in away. Yeah, that could be something like, yeah, something

532
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 3: like that, because I don't think I would have definitely

533
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 3: picked Grease as well, but they're probably not playing them

534
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 3: in an elimination game. There's there's a weird format where

535
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 3: they play round robin in the first round and then

536
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: the second round is essentially a round robin two and

537
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 3: that's probably where they're gonna play Grease and they'll.

538
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 5: Get out of that.

539
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 2: So it's not do or die, yes exactly.

540
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: So they could lose to Grease there, but yeah, they're

541
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 3: gonna make it. They're gonna make it all the way.

542
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 2: Well, look, so they have thirteen guys right now as

543
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 2: of recording this. They're all going there. Well, they're all

544
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: in Australia right now for that thirteen So that thirteenth guy, Yeah,

545
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 2: one guy is going to get cut.

546
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: I guess it's a free trip and you can just

547
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: hang out there for a couple of weeks.

548
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 5: Even if you get cut.

549
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 2: At least seems to be enjoying it. Why why would.

550
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 3: That's interesting though, least coming back essentially right when the

551
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 3: tournament starts, right, yeah.

552
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 2: Because he's only there for the exhibition games, these two

553
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: ex boomer getting Team USA games. Well no, actually I

554
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: shouldn't say that he's coming back. We did run into

555
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: his wife recently. We were talking to to Roxy and

556
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: she said, we're like, when is Lee coming back? And

557
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: she's like, you know, maybe after these games, but maybe not.

558
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 2: We were like, oh interesting, They're like, you know, it's

559
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 2: up in the air. He could stay a little bit

560
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: longer if he wants to.

561
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 4: She did make it clear that the only reason that

562
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 4: she might want him to come back is because their younger,

563
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 4: younger son is with.

564
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 2: Lee, right Oscar, Yeah, she doesn't care Lee comes back. Yea.

565
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 4: So she specifically said, I don't know when he's coming back.

566
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 4: I told him that if he wants to stay longer,

567
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 4: he can, but I do want to see myself?

568
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Lee is with Oscar and Sebby is here

569
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: state side.

570
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 1: He's recording a podcast with us right now.

571
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 2: Actually, he's being very quiet on the drums over in

572
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 2: the corner. Somsa is final roster. It's probably gonna look

573
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 2: like this. Tell me if you disagree. The guards Kemba Walker, Donovan,

574
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: Mitchell Marcus are, Joe Harris, and then Derek White. Forwards

575
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 2: Harrison Barnes, Chris Middleton, Jason Tatum, jail and Brown, Kyle Kuzma,

576
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 2: and then the center's Brook Lopez and Miles Turner. In

577
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: that scenario, I do have you know Plumbly getting cut

578
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 2: though he could be the third center. Sure you could

579
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: sort of play kuz Met center too if you want.

580
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 2: I sort of think Derek White will make it so

581
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: to speak over a third center in Plumbley. You guys

582
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 2: agree with that. So probably that squad, I mean, one

583
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: chance that squad doesn't win is what you're saying.

584
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, one out of one hundred.

585
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, No, there's still a lot of NBA tell

586
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 2: because they're all NBA players, But it's you don't have

587
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 2: like who's the best player on.

588
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: That team, Like Plumby would make any other national team.

589
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, definitely right to me.

590
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 3: It's if they're sleeping one day, right, if they get

591
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 3: out of the turn of the round robin and they

592
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: don't realize that they have to win the next game.

593
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 5: College.

594
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 2: I can't wait for that. Uh. That group of death though,

595
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 2: Group H Australia, Canada, Lithuania. That's tough. So only two

596
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 2: of those three are coming out, and then Senegal as well.

597
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 2: It's gonna be some crazy, crazy tweets going back and

598
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: forth between Lee and Ile and Tassis got grease and

599
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 2: then you got a team USA. This really brings out,

600
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 2: brings out the worst of us.

601
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly right. I don't know if you guys

602
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: have speed US with your national flag on him, but

603
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: I do see at the pool.

604
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 4: Next one here from Well, was that the question where

605
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 4: you're gonna get angry about Team Canada or is that

606
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 4: a different question?

607
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I guess we could get angry about Timosa.

608
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: You can include some of these guys dropping out. We

609
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 2: already said it Fox and Bagley fairly recently, you know, Tucker,

610
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: because of injury, Canada now has had a bunch of

611
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: guys either not want to play or then drop out.

612
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: Though I saw this morning there was rumors that Corey

613
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: Joseph was not going to he was gonna suddenly drop out,

614
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: and then.

615
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: Nick Nurse is like, he's got a fight.

616
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: Nick Nurse is suddenly no, he's coming now over here

617
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 2: to place, so I guess he's playing. I mean, it's

618
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 2: frustrating as a Canadian basketball fan, like not that it's

619
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 2: there for the taking the World Cup by any means,

620
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 2: but this is by no means the Juggernaut team USA team.

621
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 2: And if you had all your Canadian NBA players, you

622
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 2: had all of them, you have a damn good team.

623
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: I mean really, and they still will have a good team.

624
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: I mean, they're one of the favorites to go you know,

625
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: maybe to go far. I think they're I don't know,

626
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 2: at least like a top eight favorite team. I know

627
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: Grease is in their Spain, Serbia, Australia. But just a

628
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 2: bummer more than anything, because it looked, really it looked

629
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 2: like at first you get all excited because it looks

630
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: like they're all gonna play, and then this guy's not playing.

631
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 2: This guy wants to focus on the NBA season, and

632
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: you understand why with all these guys and this weird

633
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: timing of the World Cup as well, and then you've

634
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 2: got to go right into an NBA season. But and

635
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: I know Simmons has talked about this on his podcast recently,

636
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: Like you do see guys that go and play in

637
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 2: these tournaments, they generally have really good NBA years after it.

638
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: It's generally because of good experience and good coaching and

639
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: playing with better players. Yeah, in a rhythm, you're in

640
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 2: basketball shape and ready to go. Yeah, It's it's crazy

641
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: when guys drop out. I think, especially young guys.

642
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: We're like Devin Booker, why are you playing in a

643
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: pickup game with Joe Kim Noah? You could be playing

644
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: for the United States. You could be playing for with

645
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: the best players in the league right now, or you

646
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: could be complaining that you're getting double team.

647
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: Well, I think two things are different this year. This

648
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 3: year it's a five week commitment because it's in China

649
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: and because they attached this Australian part to it. It's

650
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: it's a lot, It's just it's a really extended commitment.

651
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 3: And the second thing is because everybody is sitting out

652
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: with you know, the injury, everybody just you know, watching

653
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 3: the load management situation now more than ever.

654
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 5: Five weeks is a heck of a lot, So I

655
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 5: think we should have sort of seen it coming. Uh.

656
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 3: You know, we look at Lee in those videos. He's

657
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 3: gassed and he's not playing basketball. It's five weeks, man,

658
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,479
Speaker 3: five weeks for guys is it's unheard of? Usually it's

659
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, three point five.

660
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 5: Guess it's.

661
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: You're right, we like are talking about star players in

662
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,959
Speaker 2: the NBA season missing twenty five percent of their games

663
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 2: and whether that's actually the smart move, as we saw

664
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 2: with Kawhi Leonard, and then you're like, oh, yeah, here,

665
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: go play some competitive games, shorter games. I get that

666
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: in international play, but go play competitive games for five weeks.

667
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: Like you're saying that it's a big commitment, but you

668
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: just I guess it would be cooler if it meant

669
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: more to some of these guys, and it does mean

670
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: it feels like it means a lot to some of them.

671
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: Like Kyle Lowry was he was going to play, he

672
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 2: had the thumb injury. I don't know how if that

673
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: was the reason why ultimately that they were like you

674
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: gotta you just had surgery, Like you shouldn't be playing basketball.

675
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: You should be resting played.

676
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: Your longest season ever. Yeah.

677
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 2: Well, but you know some guys more pride.

678
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.

679
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: We call it the Olympics though, when guys are yep

680
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: not dropping out, that's the main thing exactly. Yeah. Usually

681
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: maybe you should have to play in the World Cup

682
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: to play in the Olympics, but that they would never

683
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: do that because that keeps guys out like Lebron who

684
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: maybe Lebron Will wants to take his last turn in

685
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty as the Jason kidd, I'm the old guy.

686
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: Let's go win one last gold medal. He doesn't want

687
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: to be messing around playing on a five week tour

688
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: when he could be having taco Tuesday. He would rather

689
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: be hanging out with his kids, which understandable. That being said,

690
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: the Olympics matters more this side of the world. In

691
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: other parts of the world, no doubt they care that

692
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: the World Cup is happening, and I think that that's

693
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: just it's a perception thing, especially for American players, no doubt.

694
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 2: Next one, I was going to get to it. Hey, guys,

695
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: with FOBA coming up in a few weeks, we're obviously

696
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: talking about it here and tm USA coming together, who

697
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: do you think will benefit the most from their time

698
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: on this team next season? So that's a ghost to

699
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: exactly what we were talking about. This is from Justin

700
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: and Cincinnati, who plays on this squad and sort of

701
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: comes in next year, you know, benefiting from from a

702
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 2: busy summer with Team USA or any other team.

703
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: I guess it's a big summer for Kyle Kuzman. I

704
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: think he'll just getting to learn from Greg Popovich learning.

705
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the defense isn't going to be

706
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: the number one thing for Team USA for sure. You

707
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: know they're not going to be out there trying to

708
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: hold teams to forty points in a game. But he's

709
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: going to be getting some defensive instruction from Popovich. He's

710
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: going to be learning how to play next to really

711
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: good players. He's going to be learning how to make

712
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: the clutch shots when he needs to, and how to

713
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: play off the ball. Pretty much the entire time. I'm

714
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: sure he'll learn a little bit more work ethic wise too.

715
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: I feel like the Kyle Kuzma likes, he's a Jimmy

716
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: Butler Myers Leonard. He likes to be enjoying his time

717
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: and showing people how he's enjoying his time. Perhaps getting

718
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: in shape playing a lot heading into the season is

719
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: big for him, especially since the Lakers, as we said,

720
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: are going to need a lot from Kuzma.

721
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 5: It's a good one.

722
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: I think the Boston Celtics just gelling, yeah, because this

723
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 3: is really the Boston Celtics light. A third of the

724
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 3: roster are Celtics. Four of them Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown,

725
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum, and Marcus Smart. So Kemba will develop the

726
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: chemistry he already has again being five weeks out there

727
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 3: together that Kyrie didn't really have with the rest of

728
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 3: the guys.

729
00:32:58,800 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 5: So that's that's.

730
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 3: Huge going in for you know into September already you know,

731
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: having a camp really, so they're basically gonna have two camps.

732
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 5: That's it should boost Boston stock.

733
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: I think it is cool to see who will become

734
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: the main guy on this team USA, because it does

735
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 2: feel like every World Cup of Olympics there's sort of

736
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 2: like that guy became the guy or was the guy

737
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: from the get go in some Superstars cases. But I mean,

738
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: is it Kemba's still with this, Is it Donovan Mitchell,

739
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: who a lot of people think it could be being

740
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: sort of stepping up as a as a leading scorer

741
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 2: and more of a leader that way. Is it maybe

742
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: a Tatum. I'm excited for that part, so I guess

743
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: I'm sort of leaning towards like a Tatum or a Mitchell.

744
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 2: If they show it on the international stage, you could

745
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 2: see how they could then carry that in to the

746
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 2: NBA season. Makes sense. I'm sort of excited for it.

747
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: It's because of the team. It's almost you know it.

748
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 2: I know you guys are like myself included. They probably

749
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: are still gonna win gold, but it doesn't feel like

750
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: a lock by any means. It's not like a lock

751
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 2: lock when you've got Katie and Lebron and guys like

752
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 2: that playing.

753
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm surprised to see that they are a bigger favorite

754
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: than they were in twenty fourteen. I suppose maybe there

755
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: were better teams from around the world in twenty fourteen,

756
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: like Spain was probably still on the tail end of

757
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: their prime. But the twenty fourteen team wasn't any great shakes.

758
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: It ended up being like Kyrie and Kenneth Faried that

759
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: were the huge names from that one kind of threed

760
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: got that gigantic contract after dominating everybody else in the

761
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: world that was six foot six and under, and everybody's like, man,

762
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna be great. So yeah, you never really know

763
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: who's gonna pop in the summer. I think Tatum is

764
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: a good choice. Mitchell obviously is a good choice. He's

765
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: getting a lot of buzz. He looks a little bit

766
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: more chiseled to me, like even just in the face.

767
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: His face looks like he's lost some weight, muscled up.

768
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 1: No surprise, he'd be playing.

769
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 3: Well all right, moving on to uh, non basketball, you

770
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 3: never know who's gonna pop in the summer. Well, this

771
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 3: guy's been popping. His question is for Mattio. I have

772
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 3: only one and it requires an answer. Where's Mattio? And

773
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 3: why hasn't he been on any shows thus far? Capslock

774
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 3: Free Mattio. That's from Big.

775
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 2: Baby d Free Badio.

776
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 4: Well, go on, ah wow?

777
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 5: Where?

778
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 2: Uh?

779
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 4: Well, I guess we'll start with March when the AT

780
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 4: and T time Warner merger happened. Uh, as have we

781
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 4: explained on the show before. Anyways, after the merger happened,

782
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 4: we were told that Turner wasn't going to renew our contracts,

783
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 4: and uh, very soon after that we all met the

784
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 4: six of us and discussed like, you know what, how's

785
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 4: everyone feeling, what does everyone want to do? And I

786
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 4: think everyone basically decided, well, we want to keep going

787
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 4: forward with the show. And I thought about it and

788
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 4: let you guys know that I would be moving on

789
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 4: and not coming.

790
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 2: Back, just tired of the show.

791
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 4: I fucking had it. Uh and uh so that's why

792
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 4: I haven't been on the shows this summer. But I

793
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 4: want to come on today really to say goodbye to

794
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 4: everyone out there, but to everyone in here, to do

795
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 4: one last, one last pod and specifically on the timing.

796
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 4: I'm leaving Atlanta on Monday, driving across this great country

797
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 4: of ours, USA, USA, USA, and I'm gonna end up

798
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 4: in LA And I have no plan. I don't have

799
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 4: a place to live, I don't have a job. But

800
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 4: my goal is to write and produce non sports stuff,

801
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 4: so I thought that would be a good place to

802
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 4: do it. And I you know, those are the facts.

803
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 4: Everything else is a lot messier. I'm gonna miss this,

804
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 4: and you guys, I mean, for me, this has been

805
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 4: ten ten years of my life. The last ten years

806
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 4: of my life have been this, and this has been

807
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 4: the most consistent thing in my life. For the last

808
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 4: ten years, right, I mean, I've moved cities, I've been

809
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,959
Speaker 4: away from my family for that long, you know, moved

810
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 4: away from friends. But good things have happened, bad things

811
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 4: have happened, But really this has been the consistent thing

812
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 4: in my life. And I've seen you guys over the

813
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,439
Speaker 4: last ten years more than I've seen literally anyone, by

814
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 4: such a wide margin, you know, spending you know, eight

815
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 4: nine hours together every single day for the past ten years.

816
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 4: And that's that's not even including outside of work hours,

817
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 4: where we've seen each other a ton. And I'm trying

818
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 4: to you know, it was difficult, and it still is

819
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 4: difficult to imagine what life will be like without it.

820
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 4: I mean, I know that sounds dramatic, but this has

821
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 4: been the biggest part of my life for the last

822
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 4: ten years. And to not have my rhythm ruled by

823
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 4: the basketball season, you know, it's kind of like you

824
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 4: were back in school.

825
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 2: Right.

826
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 4: It's like summer comes and then the season ends and

827
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 4: you have some time off, and my body sort of

828
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 4: is expecting now to you know, eventually ramp up and

829
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 4: start going back for the next meetings and planning the

830
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 4: preview shows. And that's not gonna you know, that's not

831
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 4: gonna happen. But I think, you know, I've you know,

832
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 4: so many thoughts obviously, and anyone please jump in at

833
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 4: any time. But the way that I always thought about

834
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 4: the show was that to me, it seemed like in

835
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 4: life you have certain pillars, you know, like the friend's

836
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 4: family that can prop you up, and for me, the

837
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 4: biggest one was was this show. Because even in times

838
00:38:51,920 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 4: when I was depressed or unhappy or confused or I

839
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 4: always had this and it was such a it was

840
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 4: such an honor to be part of it. But it

841
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 4: was also it always made me feel good to say,

842
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 4: this is my job, you know, to be one of

843
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 4: the lucky people in this world that's proud of their

844
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 4: job and the work that they do. That it was

845
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 4: a creative venture that you know, it allowed me to be,

846
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 4: you know, financially secure, and that we knew at the

847
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 4: end of every day what it was that we did.

848
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 4: You know, you hear that from a lot of people

849
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 4: like what did what did I even do today? You know,

850
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 4: pushed around paper on a desk, And I always knew

851
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 4: when I was driving home, like I know what I

852
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 4: did today? That show that is been just care I

853
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 4: know what I did, and it's not going to be

854
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 4: possible to me. You know, this might sound like a contradiction,

855
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 4: but it's not going to be possible to me at

856
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 4: any other point in my life. I don't think to

857
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 4: have a job that was this fun. It was obviously

858
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 4: not without its challenges, and uh sometimes you guys pissed

859
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 4: me off, and I'm sure I pissed you guys off

860
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 4: too at sometimes points. But come on, who laughs more?

861
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 4: Who has laughed more? I've been on the floor. I've

862
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 4: been on the floor laughing like multiple days a week,

863
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 4: sure because of you know, something random that happens or

864
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 4: something someone says. I spent so much of my time laughing,

865
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 4: and it's it's gonna be so sad to me to

866
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 4: to not have that anymore.

867
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 2: Are you gonna listen to old podcasts when you drive

868
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 2: across the country?

869
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 4: Just fortunately not?

870
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 1: Are you gonna say this one?

871
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 4: I switched to a T and T so now I

872
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 4: have terrible reception?

873
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 2: Nice, that's right, It's uh no, it's like like I

874
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: said off the top of the show, we don't know

875
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: really really yet what we're going to be doing for

876
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 2: or where we're going to be doing the new show,

877
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 2: the new podcast, and whatever.

878
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 4: Let's just say let's yeah, we hope it's not I

879
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 4: want to say because you guys won't say it. You've

880
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 4: been taking meetings and they're going well, and it's just this.

881
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 4: It's just the summer things for sure.

882
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 2: But it is weird for me. It is what I

883
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 2: was going to say that to think, Well, first off,

884
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 2: it's weird that you're leaving on Monday to drive across

885
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: the country. It won't be here in Atlanta, and then

886
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: it will be even weirder, I think when we do,

887
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: hopefully knock on Wood, Yeah, ramp up to do another season,

888
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 2: another show, and you won't be involved in it because

889
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: you're such an instrumental part. As as this writer at

890
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 2: Big Baby Davy can attest to, there was a lot

891
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 2: of tweets. It wasn't just like it was like where

892
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 2: is Matt, what's going on? Where is it? Blah blah blah.

893
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

894
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 4: I mean and as as you know, little or as much,

895
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 4: depending how you want to look at it, as I

896
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 4: contributed on air, you know, which is really just the podcast.

897
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 4: It is really the hm. The tip of the iceberg

898
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 4: is when you hear my voice. But most of the

899
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 4: stuff I do is is behind the scenes, and.

900
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 2: It was.

901
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 4: It's been a really special decade. I can't I find

902
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 4: it hard to imagine what it's going to be like

903
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 4: without it, to be quite frank, and I haven't even

904
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 4: talked about the moving part. You're right, and even even

905
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 4: just not being able to see you guys as friends ever. Again,

906
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 4: it's amazing.

907
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 2: Once you once you drive across the country, you can

908
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 2: never come back.

909
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 4: Well you're cutting me out?

910
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, as soon as this is done, we're

911
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: removing you from our slack channels, following you on all

912
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: social media.

913
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's app? Groom?

914
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 4: You're gone at starters Matt at starters man on Twitter.

00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 4: I want to keep up.

916
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna have to remove the starters from your

917
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 2: name then, no, no, no, no, it's actually not starters man,

Speaker 6: Rest Yeah, I know you thought about live streaming your

921
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 6: drive across the country?

922
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 3: Is the is the is the UH? Is the the

923
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 3: bad reception going to play a part? Or are you

924
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 3: thinking about it?

925
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 4: I'm worried once we're between uh Oklahoma City and Amarillo

926
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 4: that that that satellite is going to drop out.

927
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 2: I'll just do it.

928
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:35,480

Speaker 2: You know the.

964
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 4: I started listening to this podcast when I was in

965
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 4: law school. We went to college together, obviously. Then I

966
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 4: went to law school and you guys started the show

967
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 4: in two thousand and six while I was there, And

968
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 4: that's probably when I listened to the show the most

969
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 4: because I was I was procrastinating, needed to take a

970
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 4: lunch break, and you guys were there for me. So

971
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,919
Speaker 4: I look forward to you guys being there for me again.

972
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 2: I'm procrastinating. I can't wait to see what you do.

973
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 2: And you know we've said this to you obviously, off Mike,

974
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 2: but I don't think the show ever comes to Atlanta

975
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 2: to work to do the NBA TV show without you.

976
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 2: I don't think that ever happens. I think everyone would

977
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 2: agree with that how instrumental you and making that happen,

978
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 2: and then producing the show and doing something that you

979
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: had never really never truly even had done before and

980
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: sort of knocking to go to the park. You know,

981
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 2: it sucks that we're not still there, but six years

982
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,439
Speaker 2: of a daily television show. Not a ton of people

983
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 2: can say that, so something to be proud of. And hopefully,

984
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 2: you know, we're not done, but I can't wait to

985
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 2: see what you do next. But thank you is what

986
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:21,200

989
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 4: we did over the last not just six years, but

990
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 4: since the Toronto days, and I'm that's exactly the word

991
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 4: I would use to I'm really proud of of what

992
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 4: we achieved. There's no reason for us to be where

993
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 4: we are. You know, two guys, two three Canadian guys

994
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 4: start a podcast in a kitchen in two thousand and

995
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 4: six before anyone knows what a podcast is, even Conan

996
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 4: O'Brien and and you're talking about basketball, sport that in

997
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 4: Canada at that point is really, you know, not not

998
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 4: nearly as popular as it is now. With a you know,

999
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 4: a tenth of the US population, and then you go

1000
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 4: from that to being on national US television, you know,

1001
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 4: working down the hall from you know, Charles Barkley and

1002
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 4: Jack and Isaiah Thomas and Grant Hill. I mean, I

1003
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 4: have you know. It was not my dream, but it

1004
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 4: was amazing watching other people's dreams come true. To be honest,

1005
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 4: I mean, it was my dream to produce a TV show,

1006
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 4: and that part of the dream was fulfilled. It was

1007
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 4: my job to be able to cut my dream, to

1008
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 4: be able to be involved in a creative venture and

1009
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 4: to have agency over and have some say over it.

1010
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 4: That part of the dream was fulfilled. But you know,

1011
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 4: just watching you guys, you know, knowing you from the

1012
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 4: two thousand and six and before seeing how far it

1013
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 4: came was was really crazy. And when you tell people,

1014
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 4: they're like, what, like as if you lie to them

1015
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 4: or as if like that sounds like like a movie.

1016
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:03,760
Speaker 2: But you should write this movie.

1017
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 4: It's the story of two man from Hard Scrabble. Yeah,

1018

1086
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 4: episodes of a daily TV show, so I might never

1087

1103
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,960

Speaker 2: clunky cam quorders where you put the VHS tape in

1236
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 2: and we would record ourselves doing whatever cool dunk we

1237
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 2: were doing with a mini basketball, then go down to

1238

Speaker 2: stop it, go down to his basement, fire up the

1239
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 2: NBA Jam Session tape, and within that video there was

1240
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 2: like those cool like graphics like jam Session or like

1241
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 2: Clydedrexer slaying Jam Session. We would then record the TV

1242
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 2: of Clyde Drexer saying jam Session, so made it look

1243
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 2: like Clad Drexler was like giving us props for our dunks,

1244
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 2: and then we'd watch it back.

1245
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: Early on the sampling game.

1246
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,479
Speaker 2: Oh, we were And it was an art because those

1247
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 2: things didn't like you didn't press the button record and

1248
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 2: then it went instantaneously. You had to like get the timing.

1249
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 2: It was like a weird little glitch before it started.

1250
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 5: Don't you have those tapes?

1251
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 2: I see, that's the thing. I do have these VHS tapes.

1252
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,560
Speaker 2: I'm dancing to crisscross on them. I'm wearing like a

1253
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 2: full flannel suit with a hood. I have them, but

1254
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 2: I looked into trying. I'm like, I know there was

1255
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 2: a way to get the VHS tapes onto your computer

1256
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 2: or whatever, but I mean I really just wanted to

1257
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 2: watch them first on a v on a VCR.

1258
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 1: But as they're meant to be seen, I looked.

1259
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 2: At exactly, I looked it up and like to buy

1260
00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 2: a VCR. I thought in my head, like on e baby,

1261
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 2: like ten bucks. But they're expensively yeah, I mean from

1262
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 2: from my very you know, limited research. So I was like,

1263
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 2: I'm not doing that. I find went out of like

1264
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 2: a garage sale or something clean the heads, you know

1265
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 2: all that. But those are good ones, those those VHS tips.

Speaker 2: Well the song of two okay, okay, it's Old Road, yeah, exactly.

1394
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 2: Whether it's going to be considered the best, it was

1395
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 2: number one for nineteen weeks. It just yeah, number two

1396
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:10,440

1398
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 4: Oh or with what what's her? What's her single?

1399
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 5: Is it?

1400
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 2: No idea? But old Town is going to be the song.

1401
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: Summer for sure?

1402
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,560

01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 4: It is good.

1404
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 1: I never mind, like it's on like everybody's playlist at

1405
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 1: the pool. You'll hear it once a day and you're like, oh,

1406
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 1: nice old town Road. And then apparently there's like a

1407
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 1: thousand versions all of the same song, just with different

1408
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: people on it. Why not?

1409
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 2: And and so you just had one idea and it's

1410
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,439
Speaker 2: two and a half minutes. Yeah, yeah, it's a nice

1411
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 2: the most brilliant move just making it that that short.

1412
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 4: Was this not the Summer of Lizzo?

1413
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 2: I have it written down. I do have that written down. Yeah,

1415
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean obviously she's been around for much longer.

1416
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what's her best song?

1417
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 4: Well, I think her truth Truth Hurts. But I think

1418
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 4: that was earlier. That was more late winter spring. My

1419
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 4: sister called Tree Kirby's sisters calling, Well, at least his

1420

Speaker 4: sister doesn't know he's recording a podcast now.

1421
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: Though that's I never answered our calls anyways.

1422
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:13,760

Speaker 4: Wait a medievally dwarf.

1430

1520
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:43,719
Speaker 1: So could I still play?

1521
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 4: Perhaps to borrow I'm passing the torch. You got to

01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 4: teach how to play, all right?

1523
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 1: Me and you we'll get together and just scrum.

1524
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 2: Tune the guitar before you gave it to me.

1525
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 4: Ah, sounds like someone just learned the first lesson, which

1526
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 4: is tune your guitar well at step one, know when

1527
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 4: the guitar is.

1528
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 2: Not into Okay.

1529
01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 4: I would say, in all seriousness, if you if you

1530
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:10,559
Speaker 4: want to get into it, take it to a guitar

1531
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 4: shop and get it quote unquote tuned up. They'll take

1532
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:18,679
Speaker 4: off the strings. There's there's some maybe intonation issues. They'll

1533
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 4: change up the strings for you, which you should learn

1534
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 4: how to do. But whatever, get some new string's on there.

1535
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 4: There's some little vibrations.

1536
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 2: So wait, wait, but answer my question. You did not

1537
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 2: tune in the good It's hard to say.

1538
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:29,679
Speaker 4: I don't remember, Okay.

1539
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 2: Because never handed a manager a guitar without. I was like,

01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 4: in there.

1549
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 1: And well, we'll have the keys, we can break into

1550
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 1: the place, tune his guitar and get out here.

1551
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 2: We have a few more questions, get to them quickly.

1552
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 2: This one from an Andrew. I'd love some summer sneaker talk.

1553
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 2: What do you guys think of Zion's new Jordan deal?

1554
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,719
Speaker 2: And do you like Gianni's zoom Freaks again? Andrew McKay

1555
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 2: want some sneaker talk.

1556
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 5: I like the Zoom Freaks.

1557
01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 2: You do like them?

1558
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah.

1559
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 2: I didn't like the first colorway we saw of them,

1560
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 2: which I believe were just sort of just black, black

1561
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,720
Speaker 2: and white and they were pretty boring.

1562
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:26,439
Speaker 3: But now with the leopard print underneath, it's very subtle.

1563
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 3: It's it's they're black and they kind of look black

1564
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:31,840
Speaker 3: unless you sort of look at them. I guess black

1565
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 3: and white was the it.

1566
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 2: Was the first one, but then the orange ones.

1567
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:38,479
Speaker 5: The one he's playing in with with the Greek national team.

1568
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1569
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 3: I like shoes that aren't gaudy basketball shoes that because

1570
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 3: they're a little subtle, they look like shoes you could

1571
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:46,760
Speaker 3: just wear.

1572
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 4: Those the words of a man that just bought a

1573
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:49,440
Speaker 4: pair of soccans.

1574
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:55,040
Speaker 5: I like, So I like my vintage socks.

1575
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 2: Do you like the the Freaks?

1576
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 1: Yeah? People were complaining that the sw was too big

1577
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 1: and that it's backwards backwards. Yeah, I don't know. I

1578
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 1: liked them. I thought they were cool. They also like

1579
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 1: the orange colorway was like showing a lot online when

1580
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 1: they were first dropping, and that's a sure fire away

1581
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 1: to get me on. You put an orange out there,

1582
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 1: I'm in.

1583
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, No one's tried them on yet here though, I mean,

1584
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:17,639
Speaker 2: I wondered.

1585
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to wear socks until we get a job.

1586
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 1: So sorry, sorry.

1587
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 5: Sorry about your carpets.

1588
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 4: I'm not wearing socks either.

1589
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 1: That's changed, You've changed. You would have six years ago,

1590
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:36,600
Speaker 1: you would have never went somewhere without socks on. I

1591
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 1: don't know, is that true.

1592
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 4: Well, I've got into the sock cat. Oh yeah, and

1593
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 4: you can't walk around and just sodcasts?

1594
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 5: Is that how your oysters?

1595
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 2: Hey, a lot of your basketball shoes are in this house,

1596
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 2: that's right, because you gave them to j D's boy.

1597
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 4: Sadly they're too big for them all. Yeah, probably they

1598
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 4: grew up so fast.

1599
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 3: I haven't worn socks all summer too, other than my

1600
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:56,720
Speaker 3: sock and ease.

1601
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do. The swoosh is big, swooshes big on them.

1602
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:04,760
Speaker 3: But think about the the airs that you know, those

1603
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:09,599
Speaker 3: monstrous like the Scottie Pippen airs that have been reissued again. Oh, people,

1604
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 3: they'll come around. They are sort of boring for a

1605
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 3: basketball shoe, I get it, But who cares?

1606
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 2: And the Zion Williamson deal, Like, I couldn't care less

1607
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 2: about stuff like this. I know people do, though, was,

1608
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:22,920
Speaker 2: what's your take on it? As the as the sneaker

1609
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 2: head here, It's only.

1610
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 1: Weird to me because Michael Jordan owns a basketball team,

1611
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:29,160
Speaker 1: he owns the Hornets, but he's still able to sign

1612
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe the most marketable guy to come

1613
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 1: in the league in the past fifteen years to a

1614
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: huge deal. It's not a conflict of interest just because

1615
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, Jordan is so big, but hopefully they actually

1616
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:41,200
Speaker 1: give him a good shoe. A lot of the guys

1617
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 1: that sign with Jordan brand get these like secondary signature shoes,

1618
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:47,719
Speaker 1: like you couldn't name a Chris Paul shoe, you couldn't

1619
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:49,680
Speaker 1: name a Carmelo Anthony shoe. Really what they look like.

1620
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,160
Speaker 1: So maybe they'll just let him wear the whatever the

1621
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 1: main line is, you know, the thirty four, the thirty five,

1622
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 1: whenever it comes out, and he'll be the guy. He'll

1623
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:58,760
Speaker 1: be the next Jordan wearing guy. That'd be cool.

1624
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 2: It's sort of but it's also weird, I guess, because

1625
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 2: it's like it won't be like Zion won't have the Zions.

1626
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, first, that's true, and you know they tried it

1627
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: with Dwayne Wade a few years ago, like twenty ten,

1628
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: they had him being like the signature athlete, and they

1629
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,320
Speaker 1: did it with Westbrook too, and then they eventually gave

1630
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:18,639
Speaker 1: him his own So surely he'll get his own show sometime.

1631
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 1: But I don't know the Jordan deal. It's hard to

1632
01:16:22,080 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 1: be out of Michael Jordan's shadow and you're wearing them

1633
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 1: on your foot.

1634
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, final one.

1635
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 5: Sorry.

1636
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 3: With Dwight Howard possibly returning to LA, I feel like

1637
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 3: the Laker fans will be quick to forgive Dwight after

1638
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 3: claiming to hate him since he left for Houston. What

1639
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:39,720
Speaker 3: are some things you guys have hated that you soon

1640
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 3: came to love again? Have a great time, turn up

1641
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 3: love you guys awesome. That's from White Underscore iverson post Malone.

1642
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:49,600
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for writing in what on the

1643
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:50,880
Speaker 1: last summer? That's right?

1644
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:53,640
Speaker 2: What are some things you guys have hated that you

1645
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:56,800
Speaker 2: soon came to love again? Like Lakers fans might with Dwight.

1646
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler not a great bear quarterback, not a fun

1647
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:04,680
Speaker 1: guy to root for, but he's hilarious on very Cavalery.

1648
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm like one hundred percent in on this guy as

1649
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 1: a husband and foyle to his wife Kristin Cavalry on

1650
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:11,720
Speaker 1: their new reality show. I love the work he's doing

1651
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: with Uncommon James. He's got some great ideas for how

1652
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 1: to cut the fat around here. I don't know, like

1653
01:17:17,439 --> 01:17:19,639
Speaker 1: he just shows up, like obviously he's made a ton

1654
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:21,599
Speaker 1: of money. He made, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars

1655
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 1: playing football, so he owns huge parts of whatever companies

1656
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: he's involved in. So I'll just show up and be

1657
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 1: like everybody's like, hey, Jay Cutler's here, and he's just

1658
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 1: a sour plus just a sad old guy. But he's

1659
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:34,280
Speaker 1: got great singers, got great singers, So yeah, he's putting

1660
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 1: that on or no, because I think it's him because

1661
01:17:38,200 --> 01:17:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, like all of the complaints when he was

1662
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:42,839
Speaker 1: a football player, like this guy is such an asshole,

1663
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 1: Like nobody likes being around him. He's such a dour guy.

1664
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 1: And he definitely is, but I think it plays different

1665
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: when it's like he's just a silly husband as compared

1666
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 1: to like the leader of your quarterbacking football team. So yeah,

1667
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: he definitely seems like a guy who doesn't actually want

1668
01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:58,880
Speaker 1: to be around people, which is tough when you're on

1669
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 1: a fifty minute football team, but pretty funny on TV.

1670
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 2: Good answer anyone else, I'll.

1671
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 4: Throw out eggs. I know it's you're looking at me

1672
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 4: like that because it's hard to believe that there was

1673
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 4: a time when I didn't eat eggs, but I thought

1674
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 4: that they were hurting my stomach. But maybe I was

1675
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 4: eating them wrong. I don't know.

1676
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 2: But what were you boiling them for? Six minutes or

1677
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 2: seven minutes?

1678
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 4: Six minute egg? Wrong? I didn't even discuss this with

1679
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 4: your wife. I also do a six minute egg. Bring

1680
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 4: it to a rolling boil. Tell me if this is

1681
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:31,120
Speaker 4: what the recipe is. Bring the water to a rolling boil,

1682
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 4: keep it at that temperature, put it or at that setting.

1683
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 4: Put in the egg six minutes, take it out, Peel it.

1684
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,519
Speaker 5: You just peel it. Peel a hot egg.

1685
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:44,920
Speaker 4: No, you run it under cold water and you peel eggs.

1686
01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 4: You tap it on a on a cutting board, and

1687
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 4: then you here's the member.

1688
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:51,840
Speaker 5: Here's a tip ice. Throwing in a bowl of ice.

1689
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:56,040
Speaker 3: It shrinks the egg inside, makes it easier to peel.

1690
01:18:56,120 --> 01:19:01,520
Speaker 3: Comes off in just one one swoop. No, that's a bonus.

1691
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 2: Wow, task is forthcoming?

1692
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 3: No, definitely not mine. I go seven minutes rolling oil.

1693
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 3: It's still pretty soft yolk sounds that we.

1694
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:12,160
Speaker 1: Got a little.

1695
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 4: I'll make a six, you make a seven, and we'll

1696
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:15,200
Speaker 4: let the crowd decide.

1697
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 5: I guess it depends on your stove.

1698
01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,599
Speaker 4: Not really, No, I know oiling is boiling, That's what

1699
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 4: I'm saying. Now, we could we could talk about it
