Speaker 3: our series or continuing series, which we are now into
Speaker 3: the top ten of the fifty grades players the last
Speaker 3: fifty years. But before we get to today's show, we
Speaker 3: will do what we always do and briefly discuss what
Speaker 3: is not on today's show.
Speaker 2: Reveal it to me if you would.
Speaker 3: Our trustee producers out in Los Angeles, Mike D'Antoni meeting
Speaker 3: with Michael Jordan. I would like to see LaMelo in
Speaker 3: the Dante offense, even if they can't win anything there.
Speaker 3: Beyonce releasing a new single. Beyonce also known as the
Speaker 3: Greatest Living American. People get mad when I say that, yeah,
Speaker 3: great living American. If you're gonna disagree with that, I
Speaker 3: need you to submit a name and don't take a
Speaker 3: cop out and be like, oh, how about every single
Speaker 3: member of our armed forces? Stop that you have a
Speaker 3: real name. Tell me a greater living American than Beyonce
Speaker 3: Noles Carter All. Wait, and then, last, but not least,
Speaker 3: the doves drank Lebron's tequila at the parade.
Speaker 2: Listen, Lobos Tequilla build a bigger table.
Speaker 3: Uh, I'm not gonna you know, there are rumors, Nick,
Speaker 3: do you bring up Lobo slot Do you have a
Speaker 3: small equity stake in you know, maverickan Lebron's company. I
Speaker 3: can't confirm or deny whether or not I have a
Speaker 3: small piece of Lobos tequila? Do we have a Lobo
Speaker 3: Tequilla bottle downstairs as my name engraved on it?
Speaker 4: That Dewey?
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, Yeah, of course.
Speaker 3: Uh So, as much as I dislike some things, dram
Speaker 3: is done Draymond continuing to promote Lobos tequila, So maybe
Speaker 3: it can one day overtake Casamigos as the go to
Speaker 3: top shelf tequila in America. Let's be honest. Nineteen forty
Speaker 3: two is so passe. Might as well be from nineteen
Speaker 3: forty two. Okay, there's the unpaid Lobos endorsement. Now to Monday.
Speaker 2: Let's get right.
Speaker 3: You laugh at it, man, A lot of your alleged
Speaker 3: inheritance might be wrapped up in Lobo sequities, so you
Speaker 3: better hope it goes well.
Speaker 2: Okay, what are we starting with today?
Speaker 4: A draft is on Thursday night.
Speaker 5: Seems like Jabari is gonna go first, Chet second, and
Speaker 5: Bonco third. Yeah, who do you think will be the
Speaker 5: best guy in this draft class?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: It's important for me, as always to be honest with
Speaker 2: the audience.
Speaker 3: I do not study the NBA draft the way some
Speaker 3: people do. Okay, it's not that I'm unaware of it.
Speaker 3: It's not that I don't watch college basketball, but some
Speaker 3: people do this full time. I'm not someone that does
Speaker 3: it full time. So take so any of my college
Speaker 3: basketball opinions and draft opinions.
Speaker 2: Take that, build that into it.
Speaker 3: Right, I going into draft season said I thought Jabbari
Speaker 3: should be the first pick, Pallo the second pick, that
Speaker 3: I would take Ivy from Perdue third, and then I
Speaker 3: would start to consider Chet.
Speaker 2: And we'll talk more about.
Speaker 3: Chet in the moment now. And it might be a
Speaker 3: little prisoner of the moment. It might be just because
Speaker 3: I most recently have watched a couple of dupe games.
Speaker 2: I think Paolo.
Speaker 3: Pallo's the guy who I know will be a good
Speaker 3: NBA player. I think Jabbari is the most likely to
Speaker 3: quickly be up twenty plus point per game score. I
Speaker 3: think Polo is the guy who has the least bust
Speaker 3: potential and can help a winning team immediately. I think
Speaker 3: Jade and Ivy is probably, you know, best case scenario,
Speaker 3: Like if you're talking about what would he be on
Speaker 3: a championship team, probably third best guy on a champion
Speaker 3: that's still super valuable.
Speaker 2: And then there's the Chet question. And I've done as
Speaker 2: much CHET.
Speaker 3: Research as I can do, and I really like the
Speaker 3: kid first of all. I in this profile Tim Keon
Speaker 3: wrote talked about how where he's from in Minnesota, though
Speaker 3: a lot of the George Floyd protests were going on,
Speaker 3: and when it was at its peak, when the cops
Speaker 3: were really cracking down, he went out with the folks
Speaker 3: in the streets to protest for racial justice. Even though
Speaker 3: he's super recognizable, a local celebrity and seven feet tall,
Speaker 3: and I like him. I believe he and his father
Speaker 3: and his coach, that he works out a ton, lips weights,
Speaker 3: that he eats a ton, and all of that makes
Speaker 3: me more concerned.
Speaker 2: I would almost be less concerned.
Speaker 3: About Chet if it was quietly like he's never put
Speaker 3: the focus in on his body teenager, he hasn't been
Speaker 3: on the right regimen. His family has money, He's played
Speaker 3: in a big time AAU program, or did for ten years.
Speaker 3: It was coached by Jalen Suggs, his high school teammate
Speaker 3: who's now was a top five pick for the Magic
Speaker 3: last year, who also went to Gonzaga by Jalen's dad.
Speaker 3: He was with them then he was at Gonzaga. It's
Speaker 3: not if it was for lack of trying or lack
Speaker 3: of a resources that he was this thin, I would
Speaker 3: be less concerned.
Speaker 2: I just he is so skinny.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it concerns me, and so I do I have
Speaker 3: deeper analysis than I think Chet is too thin.
Speaker 2: I don't. But my concern about Kyler.
Speaker 3: Murray going into the NFL was I don't care what
Speaker 3: his college film looks like. I do, but not totally
Speaker 3: because he would be the smallest.
Speaker 2: Starting quarterback ever. I don't. I'm gonna need to.
Speaker 3: See you go through seasons before I believe someone your
Speaker 3: size can hold up to NFL punishment. And as good
Speaker 3: as Kyler's been, what's been the issue His body breaks
Speaker 3: down he gets hurt. I am concerned about Chet in
Speaker 3: that regard. So I would I have flipped on this.
Speaker 3: I had been saying Jabbari one again eve of the draft.
Speaker 3: I think I actually right now would go Polo one.
Speaker 3: But how it's going to go? And I would bet
Speaker 3: on this and maybe have bet on this. Jabbari is
Speaker 3: going one to Orlando, Chet is going to to Oklahoma City,
Speaker 3: Polo is going three to the Rockets, and Ivy is
Speaker 3: going four. Maybe not to the Kings. They might trade
Speaker 3: the pick, but whoever's drafting for to either the Kings
Speaker 3: Stan Paton draft Ivy or they trade out of the
Speaker 3: pick for a team that wants to draft Ivy. So
Speaker 3: there's there's your quick draft analysis. All right, what's next?
Speaker 5: And Firsti's first, you proposed a wild trade, Yeah, Russ
Speaker 5: and Anthony Davis for Kyrie and Ben Simmons. This must
Speaker 5: be your version of audition for that GM's spott on Bros.
Speaker 4: Vegas team.
Speaker 3: Uh sure, yeah it call it yeah, soft opening, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's fine, go ahead.
Speaker 4: Something like that.
Speaker 5: So since we're talking wild trades, are there any actual
Speaker 5: trades that you'd like to see with draft time coming around?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: I am interested to see if the Knicks try to
Speaker 3: move up from ten and see if they package.
Speaker 2: The problem for the Knicks is you're not gonna trade RJ.
Speaker 3: Barrett and a lot of the other guys that you
Speaker 3: would package wouldn't help you move up. It would almost
Speaker 3: make you move down. Nobody wants Randall's contract. Nobody wants
Speaker 3: forty eighth contract, So that's an issue. I am interested
Speaker 3: if anything moves on Russ. If it does, I don't
Speaker 3: think it will be surrounding the draft. I suppose it could,
Speaker 3: but I would doubt it. The Kings are the curious
Speaker 3: the Kings are because the Kings keep drafting point guards
Speaker 3: and a lot of people think that the IVY was
Speaker 3: the best guy that's going to be available for But
Speaker 3: would it makes sense for them to draft it. I
Speaker 3: know that if I were a smart team, I would
Speaker 3: want to do business with the Kings. That would be
Speaker 3: the sucker at the poker table that you want to
Speaker 3: be in a hand with.
Speaker 2: That's who the Kings have been for decades. There.
Speaker 3: The other interesting thing for me is this, at some
Speaker 3: point Presty and Oklahoma City have to start trying to
Speaker 3: compete and win basketball games, and there is already murmurs
Speaker 3: that they One of the reasons they like chet at
Speaker 3: two so much is they think he's.
Speaker 2: The least likely of the top three.
Speaker 3: To make an instant impact, and they want to be
Speaker 3: bad again because they want this French kid, Victor win Bayama,
Speaker 3: who is I haven't felt this way about a foreign
Speaker 3: prospect ever except for Luca. The Victor Win Bayama footage
Speaker 3: is it looks like it was cgi the kids seven
Speaker 3: to two can shoot?
Speaker 2: He is? He I do think is the real deal,
Speaker 2: but he's a year.
Speaker 3: Away, and Okac has all these picks and just wants
Speaker 3: to be worse every year. I don't like how they're
Speaker 3: doing business, but I don't I think they're gonna stay
Speaker 3: it too. And I don't think they're gonna package their
Speaker 3: later picks or future picks to move back in because
Speaker 3: I don't think they want to be good. So I
Speaker 3: don't think there is God. I don't think there's gonna
Speaker 3: be a Bradley Beal or a Damian Lillard or any
Speaker 3: or anything involving the Lakers or anything involving Kyrie on drafted.
Speaker 3: I think once free agency opens is when the real
Speaker 3: NBA drafts. I'm sorry the NBA trade stuff is going
Speaker 3: to get going, all right, what's next?
Speaker 4: One?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 5: The Warrior's fraide was cool and all and I'm I'm
Speaker 5: genuinely happy for him.
Speaker 2: No, you're not.
Speaker 4: I'm not happy. No, no, no, I'm not happy. No I am.
Speaker 5: I am happy for Steph Curry. Okay, I'm not happy
Speaker 5: for Draymond Green.
Speaker 2: Okay, don't.
Speaker 4: I don't want to go as far as say that
Speaker 4: I'm not happy for him.
Speaker 3: But well, you just did literally just it's a little
Speaker 3: damper and that's okay to you don't have to be
Speaker 3: happy for everybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Draymond's being a pain in the ass right now.
Speaker 5: Is the way he acts on Twitter is kind of
Speaker 5: crazy given what his performance was in the postseason.
Speaker 3: Listen, they won, so he gets to talk shit, But
Speaker 3: let's not act like.
Speaker 2: Draymond is has acquitted himself. What's the way to put it.
Speaker 5: He got off the hook for what he for for
Speaker 5: what his his finals performance was, and he played.
Speaker 3: Really well in Game six, and I will give him credit,
Speaker 3: but Draymond being the loudest of all the Warriors in
Speaker 3: this title is a little off.
Speaker 2: Putting, but go ahead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But the story is obviously the Celtics in the
Speaker 4: playoffs the story for you?
Speaker 5: Sure, yeah, Brad Stevens says Tatum. Tatum is great, but
Speaker 5: he just needs rest. At this point, it seems like
Speaker 5: he's gonna run back with the same squad.
Speaker 4: What would you do?
Speaker 5: Would you give Brown and Tatum more time, develop your
Speaker 5: role players more at an another star?
Speaker 2: I don't think they can add another star.
Speaker 3: The roster is basically set, and I would run it back.
Speaker 3: If I were Boston, I would say, hey, you know
Speaker 3: how we get better?
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum takes another mini league.
Speaker 3: He doesn't have to take the full leaf to Oh
Speaker 3: my god, he's the league MVP. He's got to clean
Speaker 3: some stuff up. He's got a good body, but maybe
Speaker 3: add a little bit of muscle, so he's a little
Speaker 3: more confident going into the rim. And Jalen Brown needs
Speaker 3: to get better. Jalen Brown, it is good enough to
Speaker 3: be the second best player on a champion if you
Speaker 3: have a Durant Lebron Steph Giannis level super superstar.
Speaker 2: Tatum isn't that.
Speaker 3: So even if Tatum is gonna get a little bit better,
Speaker 3: If if Jalen Brown is going to be the second
Speaker 3: best player on a champion, he he's going have to
Speaker 3: get better than where he currently is. So that's where
Speaker 3: right now, I'm trying to think of a good comp
Speaker 3: for it. When the Raptors won the title, Kawhi was
Speaker 3: really sensational.
Speaker 2: I think Tatum can get not in the same type
Speaker 2: of player, but to the level Kawhi was at.
Speaker 3: I don't think Tatum's ever gonna get to where Giannis
Speaker 3: is now, where Durant's been, where Lebron resided for fifteen years,
Speaker 3: But I think Tatum can get to the level that
Speaker 3: ish that Kawhi was at in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: The question then is can Brown get to the level
Speaker 2: Kyle Lowry was at?
Speaker 3: And he's not there yet, and so those two guys
Speaker 3: need to get better. You gotta hope Robert Williams is healthy.
Speaker 3: You gotta hope Mark his smart maintains, and then you
Speaker 3: do have nice young pieces and the only old guy's Horford.
Speaker 3: So I wouldn't do anything drastic. You guys from January
Speaker 3: one on were as good as any team in basketball.
Speaker 3: And you know, I think a lot of us think
Speaker 3: that the fourth quarter of Game four flipped the NBA Finals.
Speaker 3: You guys were in position to go off three to one.
Speaker 3: You scored five points in the final six minutes and
Speaker 3: that was it. So I wouldn't I wouldn't overreact. And
Speaker 3: the other thing is this was excellent. Dka will be
Speaker 3: better with a year of experience, won't make some of
Speaker 3: the playoff rotation mistakes, sticking with your depth as much
Speaker 3: as he did. He'll be better about that.
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 2: What's last?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 5: So this one, this is a tough one. Bear with me, folks. Okay,
Speaker 5: got some some good golf stuff coming up. Brooks Coca Kopka, Kopka, Yeah, Coka,
Speaker 5: all right, Brooks Brooks k Keka is the latest PGA
Speaker 5: golfer to join the l IV Tour.
Speaker 4: Is it cool to say live or I think yeah,
Speaker 4: that's a lot more comfortable.
Speaker 5: PGA is reacting to try and keep their golfers happy,
Speaker 5: adding more tournaments with no cuts. Uh, bigger purses and
Speaker 5: more breaks in the season.
Speaker 2: I was real quick, what do you think they mean
Speaker 2: by bigger purses?
Speaker 4: Bigger like like the money they.
Speaker 2: Okay, good job, all right, good, all right, good job.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm talking about literal persons.
Speaker 2: There might be a part in your brain.
Speaker 3: You're like man golf so weird jackets for certain things
Speaker 3: they give out like Louis Baton bags, Like what a
Speaker 3: weird sport?
Speaker 2: But good job, Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 5: Uh, this this all obviously benefits the golfers and uh
Speaker 5: would not have happened.
Speaker 4: Without the element, without the live Tour. Yeah. Could you
Speaker 4: see something like this happening with another sport.
Speaker 2: Oh, like a rival league popping up exactly? I would.
Speaker 2: I would never say never, obviously, but it could.
Speaker 3: The thing that would be most likely is if something
Speaker 3: like this were to happen in tennis, another sport where
Speaker 3: you don't need the infrastructure of full teams. The problem
Speaker 3: is for a rival NBA or a true NFL is
Speaker 3: you need the infrastructure of teams, stadiums, you need full rosters.
Speaker 3: As opposed to what the Live tours done is they
Speaker 3: convinced eight to ten big names just they just need
Speaker 3: eight to ten human beings to defect. The golf courses
Speaker 3: are there for anybody to use that will pay the money,
Speaker 3: The infrastructures already built in.
Speaker 2: I do think Kopka leaving is a huge deal.
Speaker 3: Brooks Kopka prior to COVID, the pandemic, you know, kind
Speaker 3: of pausing of the sport, and then his own injury
Speaker 3: issues last year. Kepka in twenty eighteen and nineteen, he
Speaker 3: was the best golfer in the world. Kepka would just
Speaker 3: show up in kick asset Majors.
Speaker 2: I think he won.
Speaker 3: I want to say four of the eight majors in
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen and nineteen finished second.
Speaker 2: A couple other times. Kepka's awesome.
Speaker 3: He, in my opinion, is far and away the most
Speaker 3: important guy to defect the Live Tour, and so there
Speaker 3: is real momentum to this becoming a thing, and the PGA.
Speaker 2: Tour absolutely needs to be concerned.
Speaker 3: I don't think baseball, basketball, or football need to be
Speaker 3: concerned now as far as college sports do. I think
Speaker 3: it's there's a possibility, as has been floated for a
Speaker 3: long time, that at one point, when it comes to
Speaker 3: college football, the Power five conferences tell the NCAA, go
Speaker 3: to hell, we don't need you.
Speaker 2: We're going to create our own.
Speaker 3: Sixty team college football league, Big ten, ACC Pack ten
Speaker 3: or Pack twelve at this point, Big twelve and SEC. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I do think that could happen and maybe will happen
Speaker 3: one day. For pro sports, tennis is the only thing
Speaker 3: that I would be concerned about.
Speaker 2: I NFL, NBA, and Major League Baseball have nothing to
Speaker 2: be worried about it, Can I correct?
Speaker 3: Can I tell you though quickly we're late again starting
Speaker 3: next week, We're putting sixteen minutes on the clock for
Speaker 3: a second, twelve minutes just never happening.
Speaker 2: H an idea that I've had for a long time.
Speaker 3: Okay, So why has UFC gained so much ground in
Speaker 3: past boxing? There's a lot of reasons. I don't think
Speaker 3: the reasons are it's a better sport. I think for
Speaker 3: the majority of people, there is still something naturally and
Speaker 3: inherently and almost primal about watching.
Speaker 2: Two men box. I feel like.
Speaker 3: It's the oldest sport in the world for a reason,
Speaker 3: and it is far easier to understand for the layman
Speaker 3: than UFC. Right, So why did the UFC pass it?
Speaker 3: The consistency of the events, one major UFC pay per
Speaker 3: view per month, and the simplicity of there is this
Speaker 3: champion in this weight class, this champion in that week class.
Speaker 3: What ruined boxing was no, because there's different governing bodies,
Speaker 3: So somebody can be the WB light heavyweight champion and
Speaker 3: somebody else can be a different like you can have
Speaker 3: three different champions.
Speaker 2: In the same weight class, okay, and they.
Speaker 3: Have some guys have contracts with showtimes, some guys have
Speaker 3: cots with HBO. Some guys a fight we've wanted to
Speaker 3: see for a year, we don't see for five years
Speaker 3: or ever. So if the if we're trying to, you know,
Speaker 3: have big time money come into sports as a way
Speaker 3: to launder itself, essentially launder's reputation. I have had this
Speaker 3: idea forever and no one has done it. If you
Speaker 3: get a few billionaires together and they take the top
Speaker 3: thirty boxers.
Speaker 2: In every weight class and simply.
Speaker 3: Say, how much does it cost to buy you out
Speaker 3: of your current deals, to buy you out of the
Speaker 3: agreements you have with your promoter, with your organizations, whatever,
Speaker 3: We're gonna buy you all out, and you're all gonna
Speaker 3: be signed up to play an hour boxing league where
Speaker 3: there are standings one through twelve. There are monthly events.
Speaker 3: To participate in the league, you must fight three times
Speaker 3: per year. Every four months you fight, and here's how
Speaker 3: it works. The champion fights the number one contender, the
Speaker 3: number two guy fights the number eight guy, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, And then you move up. There are standings.
Speaker 3: There is a set schedule there are pay per views people.
Speaker 3: It would bring boxing back immediately.
Speaker 2: People would be into it.
Speaker 3: But it's the initial cost of you've got to buy
Speaker 3: all all the important boxers out of their current deals.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, if the Saudi's.
Speaker 3: Have eight hundred million dollars to offer Tiger Woods to
Speaker 3: join their tour, and hundreds of millions offer these other guys,
Speaker 3: the money is out there. So I would love to
Speaker 3: see this happen in boxing. Boxing follow the UFC model
Speaker 3: of one governing body, monthly events of clear cut standings.
Speaker 3: The UFC doesn't really have the clear cut standings. I
Speaker 3: would suggest boxing ad to that. I think it could
Speaker 3: become a major sport. Again, that's my idea. I think
Speaker 3: it's a great idea, one of my many free great
Speaker 3: ideas like NFL International Week that everyone ignores, but eventually
Speaker 3: it'll app and you're like, god, damn, that was a
Speaker 3: great idea, Nick, so smart.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.

Speaker 5: Think about another A yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: Like the next three hundred and sixty five days.
Speaker 3: Well, I figure we need a little more space in
Speaker 3: the house, and so I would anticipate that.
Speaker 4: In the next couple two or three years.
Speaker 2: Sixteen months, I would think this house is.
Speaker 3: Going to go from five people to three people because
Speaker 3: your will be gone.
Speaker 2: My guess is you're going.
Speaker 3: To be gone, and then all of a sudden your
Speaker 3: room can get turned into.

Speaker 3: We have a new gamer again? We played once before?
Speaker 3: Whatever it is, welcome back in What's right with Nick? Right?
Speaker 2: Demonse? What are we doing here?
Speaker 5: This is our new game. We've previewed it once, I think, Yeah,
Speaker 5: Nick Right? Public defender?
Speaker 2: Oh I love it?
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, because if I weren't doing this, I'd probably
Speaker 3: start as a public defender and then become a high
Speaker 3: priced criminal defense attorney. There's no question, as my buddy
Speaker 3: Loaslow says, everybody knows you're either a prosecutor or you're
Speaker 3: a defensive attorney.
Speaker 2: I'm a defense attorney.
Speaker 3: I'm not working for the state. I'm not trying to
Speaker 3: put people in jail. But I will defend you to
Speaker 3: the best of my abilities, no matter what I think
Speaker 3: of your guilt or innocence, as per my duty to
Speaker 3: the American Bar Association in the United States Constitution. Now
Speaker 3: you might say, Nick, are you a credited member of
Speaker 3: the us of the American Bar Association.
Speaker 2: I am not.
Speaker 3: But you know why, you want to know before we
Speaker 3: get to the game. I'm gold clut starting. You want
Speaker 3: to know what's bullshit? What they don't let you take.
Speaker 2: The bar if you haven't gone to law school. So
Speaker 2: the bar exam is how you become a lawyer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like And the argument is, oh, you
Speaker 3: wouldn't be able to pass, says who.
Speaker 2: And by the way, I think in Louisiana they might let.
Speaker 3: You, at least they seem to. And catch me if
Speaker 3: you can. With Leonardo DiCaprio, he didn't go to law school.
Speaker 3: He took the bar and he passed it.
Speaker 4: And you're basing this off.
Speaker 2: Well that was a true story. Okay, that was a
Speaker 2: true story.
Speaker 3: So maybe in Louisiana you can. But I my sister
Speaker 3: went to law school, and my sister went to Columbia.
Speaker 2: Law Law Review.
Speaker 3: And then was getting ready to take the bar, and
Speaker 3: so I bet my dad.
Speaker 2: I was like, I can do better than her on
Speaker 2: the bar exam.
Speaker 3: Oh that's wild, And she was angry and my dad,
Speaker 3: I bet you can't.
Speaker 2: But I then researched. I'm like, man, yes I can't.
Speaker 3: I'll study for a little bit. Most of it's probably
Speaker 3: common sense. And then they were like, you're not eligible.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'll pay the fees. They're like ineligible. I'm like,
Speaker 3: it's one thing for you to say I'm not eligible
Speaker 3: to be a lawyer without going to law school. Getting
Speaker 3: not sure about that, but to say I'm not eligible
Speaker 3: to take the exam.
Speaker 2: Let me take the test.
Speaker 3: See if I crushed the test, maybe I'm more motivated.
Speaker 3: Motivated sign it for law school, which, by the way,
Speaker 3: before you.
Speaker 2: Turn thirty five years old, I will have a law degree.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it at some point. It's gonna be
Speaker 2: night school.
Speaker 4: You said thirty five, right, So I got twelve years.
Speaker 2: I got twelve years to get the law degree.
Speaker 3: But this is good practice, Nick right, public defender, what
Speaker 3: are we doing?
Speaker 5: Go ahead, all right, Rob, You're in good hands. Rob
Speaker 5: Gronkowski retired allegedly. This this was huge news. But seconds
Speaker 5: later after, or seconds after, his agent said that he'd returned.
Speaker 5: If Tom Brady called him defend, Rob Gronkowski is not
Speaker 5: an intention sinking intention sinking guy with another with another
Speaker 5: sham retired.
Speaker 3: Okay, so here, you're fine, all right, So listen everyone,
Speaker 3: attacking my client, mister Grenkowski, let me tell you something
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 2: I would ask you as a did you have heroes?
Speaker 3: As an adult, did you have people in your field
Speaker 3: or in fields adjacent tours that you looked up to?
Speaker 3: And did you ever say to yourself, you know what,
Speaker 3: in order to be the greatest, I must model myself
Speaker 3: after the greatest.
Speaker 2: I guess she did.
Speaker 3: And So, if you're an athlete in America and you're saying,
Speaker 3: what is the goat path?
Speaker 2: Who are you know?
Speaker 3: Two guys, basically you know, one unanimously considered and one
Speaker 3: considered by most of you. The goat well in basketball
Speaker 3: would be Michael Jordan, and football would be Tom Brady.
Speaker 3: So Michael Jordan, once upon a time retired allegedly to
Speaker 3: go play baseball, came back eighteen months later, nobody judged
Speaker 3: him for it. He then retired once again, came back
Speaker 3: three years later, and then the third and final time,
Speaker 3: retired but still seem to want to come out and
Speaker 3: practice with the team. He then saw Tom Brady, someone
Speaker 3: that my client not only you know has great affection for,
Speaker 3: but it you know knows quite well, has played with him,
Speaker 3: retire and come back less than six weeks later.
Speaker 2: And was he criticized for it?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Was he did he pay any penalty for it?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: And in fact, he seemed to get more power from.
Speaker 3: It as they as you know, they fired the coach
Speaker 3: that he moved on from the coach that he allegedly
Speaker 3: had issues with. So I would ask you, what else
Speaker 3: do you expect my client, Rob Gronkowski to do?
Speaker 5: And he actually did it in much better fashion than
Speaker 5: Tom Bradley.
Speaker 3: Well, one, he didn't hijack Super Bowl Week, thank you,
Speaker 3: co counsel. And so yeah, and if you are going
Speaker 3: to convict my client for attention seeking, I hope you
Speaker 3: are checking the Statute of limitations and see if we've
Speaker 3: got have some retroactive convictions against your goats, Michael Jordan
Speaker 3: and Tom Brady. We rest our case.
Speaker 2: Next.
Speaker 5: Remember once upon a time football players or athletes, should
Speaker 5: I say, we're opting in to get paid in crypto care?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that hasn't seemed the age too. Well, Okay,
Speaker 4: Sequan lost, Yes, I apologize.
Speaker 5: Saquon lost thirty three of his contract value Odell for
Speaker 5: and Trevor Lawrence I'm assuming.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sixty Yeah, that was almost sixty million bucks.
Speaker 2: Really, by the way.
Speaker 3: We're basing these numbers off one tweet that I'm not
Speaker 3: sure we actually verified, but it sounds right.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, yeah, defend these guys for betting their livelihoods
Speaker 5: on crypto.
Speaker 2: All right, listen, ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
Speaker 3: There are multiple ways to invest money and to try
Speaker 3: to grow money.
Speaker 2: Or to do none of the above. It is in you.
Speaker 3: It is your right in this country to ask to
Speaker 3: be paid via direct deposit, Go to the bank, take
Speaker 3: the money out of your bank, and bury it in
Speaker 3: your backyard. You can take the money and buy gold bars,
Speaker 3: that's allowed. You could buy t bills from the US
Speaker 3: government and get one percent return.
Speaker 2: If then you can leave it in a in a
Speaker 2: checking account these.
Speaker 3: Days and get maybe half a percent and have no
Speaker 3: chance whatsoever of that money decreasing in value. Though that
Speaker 3: is available to you, however, if you would like to
Speaker 3: grow your money. And I don't know if you my
Speaker 3: fellow Americans have checked the price of milk or the
Speaker 3: price of gas lately, but it seems like things are
Speaker 3: going up. Seems like inflation is hitting the country quite hard.
Speaker 3: So if you do, just bury your money in the backyard.
Speaker 3: If you do, just put it in a checking account,
Speaker 3: getting half a percent, and your one million dollars a
Speaker 3: year later is one million, fifty thousand dollars. It's act
Speaker 3: probably more like eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars, because
Speaker 3: that one million dollars doesn't go as far as it
Speaker 3: did a year ago, as inflation ravages this country. So
Speaker 3: my clients decided, I'm I'm gonna invest it. Nobody would
Speaker 3: beat an eye if they invested. They said, you know what,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna buy stock with it. But if folks checked
Speaker 3: over the same timeline, would some of the hottest, trendiest
Speaker 3: stocks have done. How's Peloton doing these days?
Speaker 2: What about AMC?
Speaker 3: Remember the stocks thing? Oh, those kids on Reddit are
Speaker 3: gonna make everyone rich? How's that one doing? What about
Speaker 3: a lot of those tech stocks? You'all seen a Snapchat
Speaker 3: stock lately? Yeah, exactly that that charged straight down. So, yes,
Speaker 3: my clients knew they were taking a risk. With any
Speaker 3: great return, there must be great risk, or else it
Speaker 3: wouldn't be investing. It would be scheming. You can't say
Speaker 3: we're hey, you might be able to double your money
Speaker 3: within a year without a risk. But however, it feels
Speaker 3: to me this is preying on people's own biases in
Speaker 3: pointing out my three clients lost money in a certain
Speaker 3: type of investment and just leaving alone all the folks
Speaker 3: that have lost money investing in blue chip tech stocks
Speaker 3: or have lost money by simply keeping the same amount
Speaker 3: of money that has less spending power. So I ask you,
Speaker 3: is this really about a fear? Is this really about
Speaker 3: these my clients losing money? Or is this actually about
Speaker 3: the fear of the unknown and the fear of what's next?
Speaker 2: What is next going?
Speaker 5: Chase Claypole says he's top three receivers in the NFL
Speaker 5: right now, He's not even top three in the AFC
Speaker 5: North defend his take, What do you.
Speaker 3: Want my guy to say? I'm just curious, hey, Chase,
Speaker 3: big season coming up for you and the Steelers. How
Speaker 3: do you think you stack up against other receivers in
Speaker 3: the NFL?
Speaker 2: Would you like him to say, Well.
Speaker 3: Be very honest, I'm not nearly as good as a
Speaker 3: lot of it. I know the Steelers are relying on
Speaker 3: me and counting on me, and I have had moments
Speaker 3: where people say I have the talent to be one
Speaker 3: of the best receivers in football, but I've crunched the
Speaker 3: PFF rankings and it looks like I'm like the sixth
Speaker 3: best guy in the AFC North.
Speaker 2: I've just got to be honest with you. Is that
Speaker 2: what you'd like him to say?
Speaker 3: Or do you want him to exhibit the confidence that
Speaker 3: got him here? How do you think Chase Claypool was
Speaker 3: good enough to be a starter in high school varsity
Speaker 3: and then good enough to get a Division one scholarship,
Speaker 3: and then good enough to make the NFL and good
Speaker 3: enough to have some great NFL moments obscene confidence, confidence
Speaker 3: that has carried him, and now you want him to
Speaker 3: add some false humility because his yards per route run
Speaker 3: doesn't match up to Jamar. Chase, you don't even believe
Speaker 3: what you're asking me. What's next?
Speaker 5: Steph had a cigar in his mouth for the parade
Speaker 5: this but didn't have it lit and was proceeding to
Speaker 5: hit it and take puffs.
Speaker 4: It sounds like he's joining the Russell Wilson club, by.
Speaker 2: The way, but let's not do that.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, defend the use of cigars and champagne and
Speaker 4: championship celebrations when no one actually likes them.
Speaker 2: Okay, when no one actually likes them, It.
Speaker 4: Might he actually might have had it lit there.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm not I'm not certain. Make sure
Speaker 2: what I'm supposed to defend here.
Speaker 3: I'm not necessarily supposed to defend if Steph was or
Speaker 3: was not smoking.
Speaker 2: I'm supposed to defend.
Speaker 3: The generic use of champagne and cigars exactly when quote
Speaker 3: no one actually likes either like both, So well, that's
Speaker 3: good to know.
Speaker 2: I'm joking, no doubt you are.
Speaker 3: And if you like champagne, if you do like champagne,
Speaker 3: we're gonna really like champagne once you can buy champagne.
Speaker 2: That doesn't like cardboard jug when you can.
Speaker 3: Buy like some actual champagne. I, on the other hand,
Speaker 3: not a big champagne guy. The executive producer of the show,
Speaker 3: Gave Goodwin, had a tweet about how everyone's pretending to
Speaker 3: like cigars in champagne, and to which I would say,
Speaker 3: to ladies and gentlemen of the journey, I don't even
Speaker 3: need to defend this because the question is so flawed.
Speaker 3: When the question assumes that everyone else's tastes are the
Speaker 3: same as the questionners that defend the use of something
Speaker 3: that no one likes when quite clearly many people do
Speaker 3: like it now.
Speaker 2: I am a cigar guy. I am not a champagne person.
Speaker 3: But I am not so arrogant, egotistical, self absorbed and
Speaker 3: delusional to assume my tastes are everyone's. To just assume that,
Speaker 3: because I believe Kaream Soda is the greatest soda ever exists,
Speaker 3: that other folks who are saying, no, I'm not a
Speaker 3: the Kaream Soda fan, that they're lying, just that they're just,
Speaker 3: you know, trying to fit in with the crowd.
Speaker 2: I would ask you this, ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
Speaker 3: Is there anything that you deeply passionately like that some
Speaker 3: folks have said, I don't. Maybe you're a person that
Speaker 3: likes bananas with peanut butter, not my thing, but you
Speaker 3: love it. Maybe you're someone that says, sardines sardines. Maybe
Speaker 3: you go to a steakhouse and you order the chicken
Speaker 3: because you're just not a red meat person. Are you
Speaker 3: faking it or are you being true to yourself? That's
Speaker 3: my question, And this is not really about Steph Curry
Speaker 3: or championship parades. It's about the insecurities of the question.
Speaker 3: If we'll be we rest our case and.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. All right, welcome back.
Speaker 3: In final segment, what's right with the great podcast and
Speaker 3: YouTube show?
Speaker 2: I like that Nick Public Defender game.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's a game.
Speaker 3: That's a fun game. And you guys start the clock
Speaker 3: here because we went late on the other side. We'll
Speaker 3: get to the Chinese sharpay in just a moment. It
Speaker 3: reminds me of when I first got hired in radio.
Speaker 3: The guy who hired me, Alan Davis, who I'll forever
Speaker 3: be indebted to because he gave me a shot and
Speaker 3: it turned into it was the it was the single
Speaker 3: biggest domino that fell in my career. He called me
Speaker 3: into his office one day and said, I want to
Speaker 3: do it. I want to play a game with you.
Speaker 3: And I said okay. He said, I'm going to point
Speaker 3: at something in this office and I need you to
Speaker 3: give me six minutes on and it would and I'd
Speaker 3: come in and he would just be like that picture
Speaker 3: on the wall of me with such and such, and
Speaker 3: I would just have to have a take and a
Speaker 3: rant about that, which I really think was like great
Speaker 3: training for my brain to figure out, like how to
Speaker 3: you want to be fully prepped on things, right? But
Speaker 3: I didn't know what those questions were gonna be and
Speaker 3: I and I didn't know what he was gonna ask
Speaker 3: me those days. It's good to kind of like practice
Speaker 3: that mental agility of when you're not prepped, can you
Speaker 3: still make a compelling argument. So I enjoy that game
Speaker 3: a lot, almost as much as I enjoyed going to
Speaker 3: the Westminster Dog Show Tuesday night and seeing I can't
Speaker 3: believe the Chinese Sharpai didn't even make the semi finals
Speaker 3: of its category.
Speaker 2: But Demanse look at these dogs, look at them as
Speaker 2: puppies and then as grown ups.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if we have the ability in
Speaker 3: post production to add pictures of Chinese shar pais, but
Speaker 3: that is the goodest of the good boys ever. And
Speaker 3: I'm getting one. I am absolutely getting one. They are
Speaker 3: I read all about him this morning. Incredibly loyal, great
Speaker 3: with children. Yeah, well that's a big thing with dogs.
Speaker 3: You gotta be fiercely loyal.
Speaker 2: You might have to protect you one day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just feel like I don't see dogs that
Speaker 4: aren't well.
Speaker 3: That's a good point. That's a good point. That is
Speaker 3: really but even by a dog standards, loyal. He's very chill,
Speaker 3: which could be a nice So here's the thing. I
Speaker 3: was reading this American Kennel Club thing about his breed,
Speaker 3: like the full rating about it, and then I was.
Speaker 2: Like, how accurate are these ratings?
Speaker 3: And so then I read the rating about Portuguese water dogs,
Speaker 3: which Dexter is, Oh, it's spot on. Yeah, he's like
Speaker 3: a six out of six on activity, a six out
Speaker 3: of six on affection, a five out of six.
Speaker 2: On drool, like all of it.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god, they nailed they nailed Dexter,
Speaker 3: And so yeah, I think I want I think I
Speaker 3: want another dog I want and I want the son
Speaker 3: of the dog I saw at Westminster. Now that's probably
Speaker 3: going to be expensive now that I think about it,
Speaker 3: like one of his scions what it's going to be,
Speaker 3: but because he didn't win, maybe not quite as expensive.
Speaker 3: But I just it's such I really liked the bloodhound,
Speaker 3: but a bloodhound.
Speaker 2: Needs a ton of space. I can't get the bloodhound.
Speaker 5: There was also also I feel like, would not let
Speaker 5: you get a bloodhouse. I don't know, some reason, like
Speaker 5: I just don't think that.
Speaker 2: Uh there.
Speaker 3: I also gotta show you this dog, oh gosh, official
Speaker 3: dog of Mexico.
Speaker 2: It was, yeah, this thing, this.
Speaker 3: Beautiful dog it's it's spelled xolo something.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to pronounce it.
Speaker 3: But this dog, they say he's a hairless dog, but
Speaker 3: he is a beautiful dog. I think I want like
Speaker 3: five dogs. I don't think it works really well in
Speaker 3: New York City. I got you, but I think at
Speaker 3: some point I want to own a bunch of land
Speaker 3: and have like a giant stable of dogs. I've become
Speaker 3: a dog guy my whole childhood. My parents told me
Speaker 3: I was allergic when I am not allergic. My sister
Speaker 3: was allergic, so we weren't allowed to have dogs, and
Speaker 3: they said we're both allergic.
Speaker 2: It was bullshit, and I'm still a little bitter about it.
Speaker 3: And then I when me and your mom got together,
Speaker 3: your mom already had Mo, who became my first ever dog,
Speaker 3: and I loved him with all my heart. He passed,
Speaker 3: We got but I went around. Mo was a puppy.
Speaker 3: Then we got Dexter, who's my first puppy ever. Dexter's
Speaker 3: my guy, even though he's totally insane and I think has.
Speaker 2: Some mental issues. I think he's got I think he's
Speaker 2: a what do you call that? Neuro divergent. I think
Speaker 2: we have a neuro divergent dog. But that's fine. I
Speaker 2: still love him.
Speaker 3: But now I'm gonna get one of these fancy We
Speaker 3: already got a semi fancy dog Portuguese water dog. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna start getting fancy fancy dogs and in along within
Speaker 3: the next decade, going to law school, maybe getting the
Speaker 3: dog the show, you know, not breathing, showing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, become a dog shower, professional dog shower. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: don't seem to believe me. I'll be honest.
Speaker 3: I don't even become a professional dog shower. I just
Speaker 3: want to get show dog quality and walk him around
Speaker 3: and play with That's what I want to do. We'll
Speaker 3: talk to you guys next week.
