I'm back, baby. Several days off the podcast, obviously, 4 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: all week off the herd. Nice little vacation post football. 5 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: Usually when I do the post football vacation, we go 6 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: somewhere exotic. We've done Cabo, which is close out here 7 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: in LA. We're do in Hawaii, but this time we 8 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 1: went skiing. I'll talk about skiing in a little bit. 9 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: I'll talk about seeing the movie Cocaine Bear with my 10 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: eleven year old son. I'm sure you can't wait to 11 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: hear about that. But there are a couple of really 12 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: good sports stories that happened late this week that I'll 13 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: open with. No, I did not watch a second of 14 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: the NBA All Star Game. Yes, I love it. I 15 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: texted with Rob g about topics for the show. He's like, 16 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: we don't need to talk about the All Star Game. 17 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: I was like, all right, great. I did see that 18 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: the ratings were bad. I did my best to stay 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: off Twitter all week. No tweets for me. I barely 20 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: read it. I was on the Graham No TikTok for 21 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: your boy, and overall it was a nice little reset. 22 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: I kind of like the reset Aaron Rodgers got with 23 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: his Darkness Retreat. Huh, how about that? I was just 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: reading that story. Listen. I do think Lamar Jackson's a 25 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: bigger story because there was a bombshell. I guess yesterday 26 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: maybe two days ago for me is pan and will 27 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: talk about it in a sect, but I do want 28 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: to before we get to Aaron Rodgers and his Darkness Retreat, 29 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: which actually sounds kind of cool. I'm not. It's not 30 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: for me, but it sounds cool. Like there's a lot 31 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: of things that sound cool. There's just not for me. 32 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers Darkness Retreat. That's not for me. I could 33 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: not deal with three days in darkness in a room 34 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: by myself. I just couldn't. I'm not built for it. 35 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: I do think other people can handle that. It's just 36 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: not I'm a I'm very extroverted, I think although I 37 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: could be an introvert when I first meet people. I mean, listen, 38 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: I have a podcast where I just talked to myself 39 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: into a microphone. I've done a a three hour radio 40 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: show for six straight years. I talk on the radio, 41 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: I've talked on TV. I've done like I'm a talker, 42 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: like three days in darkness to way. But just like 43 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: how some things aren't for me. Skiing's just not for me. 44 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: Cold weather it's just not my jam. We grew up 45 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: me and my brother in the Northeast, but my family's 46 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: from the Caribbean, and I firmly believe like I was 47 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: born in New York, I mean it was freezing. I 48 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: was named after like one of the worst storms ever, Jason, 49 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: I guess came in I don't know, maybe late seventy six, 50 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: whatever it was. They named me after like a storm. 51 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: And I grew up in cold weather, never liked it. 52 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: Did whatever I could to talk my way out of 53 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: shoveling the driveway with the family. We were on like 54 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: a hill. Our driveway was on a hill, so it 55 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: was just brutal to begin with it. I did whatever 56 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: I could to not have to do that. Then we 57 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: moved to Pennsylvania, me and the wife, and then that 58 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: kids were born there and we had a snowblower, we 59 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: had a generator, Like could not wait to give those 60 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: things away when we moved down to La That being said, 61 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: you know, using the snowblower on the driveway felt pretty cool. 62 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: It was kind of fun. I didn't enjoy doing it. 63 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: It's not for me, but it felt kind of cool. 64 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: You know, the other dads are out there. You kind 65 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: of wave to him in the snow, snowblower in full effect, 66 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: like okay. So anyway, skiing is a big deal out 67 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: here for a lot of the transplants to La. A 68 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: lot of guys I know love the skiing. Got a 69 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: buddy who's in Whistler, other guys in Deer Valley. Guys 70 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: love skiing. I get that. That's fine, that's your thing. 71 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: So anyways, we go skiing this week, and by we, 72 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: I mean my daughter, my son, and my wife. They 73 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: went skiing. I was the chauffeur. I would take them to, 74 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, wherever they wanted to ski and drop them 75 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: off at the lodge and they would ski and I 76 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: would go home and I read a book. You know, 77 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: I subscribed to the New Yorker magazine, so I read 78 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: a bunch of those. I worked on my taxes, did like, yes, 79 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: this is real, this is I really did this. Did 80 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: about eighty percent of my taxes. I did push ups 81 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: and sit ups to try to stay in shapes and 82 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: I'm just sitting around on the cold weather. And the 83 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: first three days were fine, like this was no problem. 84 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: And then a storm rolled in and it was getting colder. 85 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: It was gonna drop. Temperature was going to drop to 86 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: like eight degrees and negative ten wind chill, and my 87 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: daughter's really hard up to go hang with her friends 88 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: who were at another place, so I drive her over there. 89 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: We're hanging out, and as we're there, it starts to 90 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: snow and I'm like, it's just a dusting. We can 91 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: handle this. We have an suv all wheel drives. So 92 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: we're driving back, not any real issues. It's like maybe evening, 93 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: no real problems, a little skinny, but not nothing significant 94 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: because not a lot of people are on the road. 95 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: But it hasn't been plowed. So we get to our 96 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 1: area where we have to drive up the hill to 97 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: go to our airbnb, and my daughter notices that right 98 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: before the turn and there's like this big suv, you know, 99 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: big tires, big suv dropping off people like they had 100 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: their double flashers one. It's like, what's going on here? 101 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: Maybe there was an accent or something, And it turns 102 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: out it was nothing of the sort. That truck did 103 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: not want to handle our hill, and that should have 104 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: been a sign, but it didn't click at the top 105 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: moment because I'm so locked in. And so we start 106 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: to go up the hill and I realized, like maybe 107 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: twenty yards up, we're not gonna make it. And at 108 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: that point I had a couple options, not a lot 109 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: of people on the road, but I, you know, my 110 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: daughter gave it. What if you went in reverse and 111 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: then went forward, And I was like, I guess I 112 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: can try that. What we're desperate at this point, and 113 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: so we go in reverse and then we pushed forward 114 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: and it works for maybe a second, and then we 115 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: just starts getting downhill, and you know, I don't want 116 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: to say I was panicked, but I was panicked. Listen. 117 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: It only lasted like seven seconds, but when you're skidding downhill, 118 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: you have no control. I'm like, holy hell, are we 119 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: gonna go into like this intersection? It was not a 120 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: stoplight intersection, just like a little four way. I'm like, 121 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: I can't control the car, so I start turning the 122 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: steering wheel, which did a little, but again, this is 123 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: like a five six, seven second thing, and I'm honking 124 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: the horns, so anybody down there could hear it and 125 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: I wouldn't hit them. And then boom we crashed into 126 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: the snow and I was like, oh, jeez, did not 127 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: sound good. I say to my daughter Brynt, the car 128 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: better not be damaged. She's like, yeah, it did not 129 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: sound good. So I get out to inspect, slowly walk 130 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: around and nothing. We hit a snow bank, but no 131 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: damage to the car. Was like, thank goodness. So I 132 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: parked the car walk up the hill and it wasn't 133 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world, but it did rattle 134 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: me big time. And then, of course the temperature is dropping, 135 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: so there's no way I want to test this hill 136 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: at all. Even though I got chains on the car. 137 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: The next day, I'm sure the cold weather guys are 138 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: gonna laugh at me. I watched two YouTube videos on 139 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: how to put chains on tires, and I like, I 140 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: could probably do this, but when you're with the If 141 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: I was by myself, I would have probably tried upon myself, 142 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: but I was with the family. Didn't want to screw 143 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: it up. I paid, you know, the guy at the 144 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: gas station to put on the chains. I watched him. 145 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: I took video of him putting the chains on and 146 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: you know, as we just had to leave a day 147 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: early because the storm's coming in and the weather's just 148 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: not great. You can't really drive around. It's like, do 149 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: you want to snow in seven degree weather when the 150 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: wind chill is like ten and the winds like eighteen 151 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: miles an hour. Like I know some people are like, oh, yeah, 152 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: skiing in the snow awesome, I'm sure it is. This 153 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: didn't feel like snow though. It was like freezing and 154 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: ice everywhere. We just had to walk to the lodge 155 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: and like in those cumbersome ski boots. And now I'm 156 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: sure I'm boring the hell out of you with my 157 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,559 Speaker 1: non skiing ski trips story. But anyways, we leave early, 158 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: and you know, like thirty minutes into the ride, we 159 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: get out of the snow zone and it's time to 160 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: take off the chains, and no joke, your boy like 161 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: stopped the car on the side of the road and 162 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: I said a little prayer to myself, like please don't 163 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: screw this up, you know, And it was easy to 164 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: take the chains off. I mean literally, I was out there. 165 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: I didn't clock it, but it had to have been 166 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: less than four minutes and I barely was like sweating 167 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: doing it. It It was It was not bad at all. 168 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: Took the chains off, we drove home. It took a 169 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: long time, but that was our ski trip. I was 170 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: able to play hoops first time in a while, which 171 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: was nice. During the break. I'll be playing a little 172 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: more hoops coming up. We have a league game this weekend, 173 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: coming off our first loss a couple of weeks back. 174 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: And then my son before we get to sports here, 175 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: he kept talking about the movie Cocaine Bear, and I 176 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: had vaguely heard about the story. I didn't even know 177 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: there was really a movie coming out. And then I see, 178 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: like Elizabeth Banks and Carrie Russell are doing Tenday's Show 179 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: or whatever it is, and I'm like, okay, fine, But 180 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: he kept talking about this trailer, and you guys know me, 181 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: anytime somebody's forcing the issue on something I did, I'm like, 182 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: no thanks, I'm out, I don't even care. I refuse 183 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: to watch the full trailer. So and I was not 184 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: arguing with a couple of dads, but they're like, why 185 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: would you take your kid to see that? And you 186 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: have to really watch it to understand why you would 187 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: take your kid to see it, because the obvious first 188 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: of all, the movie is not good. I would not 189 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: recommend it. There were some very funny moments, there were 190 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: some very gory, graphic deaths. Like obviously I'm not giving 191 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: them no spoilers here, but the overarching story here is 192 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: drugs are really, really bad. Don't do drugs. That's the 193 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: big takeaway. Obviously. Listen, you know, Hollywood, the good guys win, 194 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: the bad guys lose. I'm not giving away anything, but 195 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: my middle schools are kept talking about. Everybody's talking about 196 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,239 Speaker 1: the trailer. Oh my, I thought it had sixteen million views. 197 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: Sixteen million views for a movie trailer about cocaine bear. 198 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: It's loosely based on her story. Obviously, there's a hollywooded 199 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: the hell out of it. It's not awful, but I 200 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: told my son, like, it's not good. If it's on cable, 201 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: and listen, if Top Gun is on cable, the original, 202 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: I'm watching it. If Wedding Crashers is on cable, I'm 203 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: planted watching it. There's a lot of movies. Excuse me. 204 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: I'm actually doing much better. Fully healed from that nasty 205 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: cough I had post Super Bowl was not COVID did 206 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: test for it was not positive. But again even some 207 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: more like Shooter Mark Wahlberg. I'm watching it on. If 208 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: it's on cable and I flip by it, i'm watching it. 209 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: I will quickly just look at the movie channels now 210 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: and I'm one of these nerds who make sure to 211 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: get all the HBO Cinemax is just in case. Oh, 212 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: five hundred Days of Summer. Not the worst movie in 213 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: the world, but I like watching it. Joseph Gordon Levitt 214 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: and Zoe Deschanelle, although I'm a little more down on 215 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 1: it because we had a little incident out here with 216 00:10:55,800 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: Zoey Deschanel, which I'm not going to talk about. Maybe 217 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: it's some other time i'll talk about it. Let's see 218 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: what else is on cable real quick before I get 219 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: too oh limitless. Have you guys seen this Bradley Cooper 220 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: awesome movie. If it's on, I'm watching it. Heartbreak Kid, 221 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: maybe some of Ben Stiller's funniest work. It's it's kind 222 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: of dirty and graphic. I know it may not if 223 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: you read it may not be appealing. It's not bad. 224 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: A lot of movies. I'll just watch Patriot Games, I'll 225 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: rewatch it. Uncut Gems, eh, I will not rewatch cocaine bear. 226 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: It will not be appointment viewing two years from now 227 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: or three years from now, whenever it's on.

It's been ten minutes. I 232 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: have a lot of thoughts on this Lamar Jackson story. 233 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: It's not good. And the worst part is, or the 234 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: toughest part is, I don't even know if I'm the Jets, 235 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: if I would make a play for Lamar Jackson. And 236 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: here's the reasoning. So, according to this ESPN deep dive, 237 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens did offer as sorry more guaranteed money than 238 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, who got one hundred and twenty four and 239 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, who got one hundred three. Russell Wilson has 240 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl, he had a lot of good 241 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: years in Seattle. Denver's overpay looks pretty bad. I would 242 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: not be shocked if he rebounded this year with Sean Payton. 243 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine. Kyler Murray's overpay looks disastrous. 244 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: No playoff wins. I don't know that he's getting one 245 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: of the next two or three years. Lamar wants more. 246 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 1: This is the troubling part if you're a Ravens fan 247 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: or any team that's considering Lamar Jackson. According to his 248 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: source with knowledge of Jackson's contract negotiations, all of his 249 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: counter offers to the Ravens last year were fully guaranteed 250 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: contracts that exceeded what Deshaun Watson got, and he got 251 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: five to two thirty. You know, in case you did 252 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: not understand that. Anytime the Ravens made it offer, Lamar said, 253 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: I want what Deshaun Watson got, but more money. There's 254 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: no way around that. I don't see what the endgame 255 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: is here. That's good for Baltimore. They're gonna franchise tag 256 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 1: him before March seventh, or trade him. Now. You discuss 257 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: what team is desperate enough to trade for Lamar Jackson 258 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: the way the Browns were and give the fully guaranteed deal. 259 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: And that's where I know some people are gonna say, well, 260 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: the Jets have a lot of you good young players 261 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: they haven't have to pay yet. If you give Lamar 262 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: the money upfront in three years, the Jets will be 263 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: fine because then they'll have to pay the guys, and 264 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: Lamar's money will go down. Listen, if the Jets cap 265 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: guys can come up with something that creative, more power tool. 266 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: But the reality is you can't be successful in this 267 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: league giving out that much money and expect to win 268 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl and build a contender. It's just not possible. 269 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: We have been on this early. We have talked about 270 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: it for weeks, I mean hell months now, Like quarterback 271 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 1: on the rookie deal is a win. That's why I'd 272 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: love for the Jack Wilson who have worked out. Obviously 273 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 1: he did not. Can you draft a quarterback that will 274 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: be as good as Lamar Jackson? Hell no, Lamar Jackson 275 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: won the MVP of the league, utterly dominant. Now he 276 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: has been injured each of the last two seasons. There 277 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: is some obvious risk there, but he's super. You're a 278 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: playoff team with Lamar Jackson, that's a given. But you 279 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: know what, when Kyler Murray signed his deal, we thought 280 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: that too. He got hurt. When Russell Wilson signed his deal, 281 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: we thought that With Denver they missed the playoffs. When 282 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: the Colts signed Matt Ryan to a big money deal 283 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: that didn't work, somebody's gonna sign Derek car Is that 284 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: gonna work? Maybe? Probably, I don't know. I like to 285 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: think it will now. I'm sure Jets fans are very 286 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: excited about the prospect of the Jets making Derek Carr 287 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. If you win in New York, 288 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: I mean, really, is that the best shit they've got? Hey, 289 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: if you win in New York, you're gonna be a 290 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer? Like stop, do you think that's appealing 291 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: to Derek Carr? He just wants somebod who's gonna treat 292 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: him better than the Raiders did at the end. Oh, 293 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: by the way, I'm just gonna slide this in here. 294 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: I can't say too much about it. When I came 295 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: back and played pick up hoops this week, I find 296 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: out I don't know what he's the best, second, best, third, best, 297 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: really good player. He's played with us for like six 298 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: months on and off. He just got hired by the Raiders. 299 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: I can't say what his position is. I looked it 300 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: up online. It's not official yet, but I guess it 301 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: will be soon enough. Not a high level position. You're 302 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: not going to know his name, but he did play 303 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: college basketball briefly he did play college football where he 304 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: was like a multi year starter. He's coached at other 305 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. And let's just say I was 306 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: peppering in with Raiders questions. I'm gonna you know, I 307 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: don't want this guy to get in any trouble. I'm 308 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: not gonna say anything yet, but I wish him the best. 309 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: And well, we'll be talking about the Raiders here as 310 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: we get closer to free agency. I'll offer up some thoughts. 311 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: Shall we say, I know Rob G's desperate for Raiders 312 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: news that's positive and not Aaron Rodgers. And should we 313 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: segue then to Aaron Rodgers and his Darkness Retreat real quick? 314 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: So the guy who owns the Darkness Retreat that Rogers 315 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: went into, now he Oh, he was supposed to do 316 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: four days, but apparently only lasted three. Apparently there's a 317 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: wait list for eighteen months to get into this place. 318 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: It was described as a Hobbit like structure, which I mean, 319 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: if you've seen the picture, it looks a little looks 320 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: a little cheesy.

Shoot? Did 327 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: I bust that up? Well? Whatever one of the judgs, 328 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: it's it's the attractive judge. I think it's actually Judd. 329 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: They're they have like an I'm like, again, no spoilers 330 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: on a fifteen year old movie. They have an underground 331 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: layer and that from the outside looks like it could 332 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: be could be a darkness retreat spot. Hobbit Like made 333 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: it sound really cool and like something you'd see in 334 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: one of your kid's books. This thing's three hundred square feet. 335 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: There's basically a bed, a bathroom, and a yoga mat. 336 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: And the owner of this place will come down give 337 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: you the food, so you have an idea of what 338 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: time and day it is. And I will say the 339 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: one thing that I got out of his description of 340 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: it was if you're seeking something now, we don't know 341 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: what that is. This is for you seeking something now. 342 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: Remember this is the same Aaron Rodgers who has dated 343 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of famous women and broke him off, broken 344 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: off all of them off, whether it was him or 345 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: the girl. He has feuded with his family. I don't 346 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: know if he talks to his brother who did one 347 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: of those Bachelor's shows, his mom and dad. Apparently no 348 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: relationship with any of them. This is a guy who 349 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: went to Peru a couple of years ago during COVID 350 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: I think, and did ayahuasca, a drug that helps you 351 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: seek something. So Aaron Rodgers clearly seeking something. Maybe the 352 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: voices in his head are getting too loud. Maybe he 353 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: doesn't know if he loves football anymore. Hey, you know, 354 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: you know, Aaron, what's gonna make your love football is 355 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: You're getting fifty nine million, fifty nine point four million 356 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: dollars six year. You love that. You're walking away from 357 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: fifty nine million dollars, even after taxes and paying your agent. 358 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: You're still looking at a cool twenty eight mill that's 359 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: generational wealth for you and whatever kid you end up 360 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: having twenty eight million dollars. You're serious, you know, walk 361 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: away from that because you're seeking something. It's just I 362 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: get it. We all are looking for something? Are you 363 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: gonna find it? I mean, if he's searching for the 364 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: meaning of life. I don't think you're gonna find it 365 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: in a darkness retreatment. I just don't in a hobbit 366 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: like structure, kind of underground where you're in your own head. 367 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: I mean, is he seeking happiness? Is he unhappy? Every 368 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: let's listen. I opened the show talking about skiing and 369 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of people. I told this to my wife, 370 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: and I said it to other people too when I 371 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: was there. I was like, if you watch people when 372 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: they come off the slopes and they exit the facility 373 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: and they're going to their car, they're going back to 374 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: their lodge, not a lot of people are smiling. It's 375 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: like tiring, exhausting. You're carrying skis, you're probably walking in 376 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: those clunky boots that are not fun, and it just 377 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: looks like tiring. I don't need that. At a vacation, 378 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: you go to the beach in Hawaii, you got a 379 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: beach anywhere. End of the day, you're like, you had 380 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: a couple of drinks, did some reading, you maybe took 381 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: a nap, went for a little soak in the ocean. 382 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: Maybe you went peat in the ocean, I don't know, 383 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: went back to the pool, little hot tub. At the end, 384 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: of that day. You're walking back to your room. That's 385 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: a good day. A couple of boat drinks. What do 386 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: you got next? I don't know. We'll see might do 387 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: hot tub at night, stargazing, go out to dinner. Maybe 388 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: you'll have some fish, sit outdoor, get a nice evening breeze. 389 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: That's the stuff I like. Now, my I'm totally into 390 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,479 Speaker 1: the skiing and listen, some dads are listening to this 391 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: podcast in our little like you know, there's um what 392 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: is it? Boy Scouts, girl Scouts, YMCA stuff. It's just 393 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: thing called adventure Guides out here in California that kind 394 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: of get your kid into in for a second third 395 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: grade and then you stick with it for three years 396 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: and then it's done. But a lot of the dads 397 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: chum up, become friends, and then they do off the 398 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: book strips. So we have we've had a couple of 399 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: those with the dads for my daughter and they're talking 400 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: about what should we do next. We've gone to the 401 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: desert a couple of times, and now some dads are like, hey, 402 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: we should do a ski trip. It's skied. It snowed 403 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: so much out here that we should just do a 404 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: ski trip. It'll be awesome, and I'm like asking my daughter, 405 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 1: do you want to go? So? Yeah, it would be 406 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: so much fun. We gotta go. And I'm just thinking 407 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: to myself, what do I have to put a smile 408 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 1: on my face? And I don't know I've talked to her. 409 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: I mean like, will I end up going? Probably? Will 410 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: we end up leaving early? You know it? It just 411 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: so happens that it's the weekend of my wreck league 412 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: basketball playoffs and little nerves. It's not gonna be easy. 413 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: By the way, we tried to get the guy who 414 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: went to Yale. He can't swing it, and this is 415 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: the final weekend coming up that you can add players, 416 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: so we couldn't get him. He's like the next season. 417 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm in Little nervous, folks, Little nervous. We did well. 418 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: You didn't have our best player when we lost, so um, 419 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes this week. The team we're 420 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 1: playing has had some issues, shall we say, with referees. 421 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: They lead the league in technicles. I saw them last week. 422 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: They got drugged by the two time defending champs who 423 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: we beat, and they were getting mouthy. They had some 424 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: fans with them in the stands who were not happy 425 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: shall we say, I don't know. Hopefully they're not getting 426 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: testy when we when we beat them this weekend, and 427 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: I do hope we beat them. That being said, let's 428 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: quickly wrap up with the NBA. The Lakers got lucky 429 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: last night. No, not the luck you're thinking of, this 430 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: kind of luck because D'Angelo Russell did get hurt in 431 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: the first quarter, did not return sprained ankle, but it 432 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: didn't didn't hurt them at all, and they got the dub. 433 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: But here's how they got lucky. Basically every team they 434 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: needed to lose to gain ground in the West lost. 435 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 1: The Pelicans lost. Pelicans are struggling still. No Zion Blazers lost. 436 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: They might be tanking. I'll get to them shortly. Memphis lost, 437 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: they're reeling. Remember when I mentioned on the podcast the 438 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: situation with the Shannon Sharp Lakers Memphis game and how 439 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: they hadn't rebounded. I saw a bunch of tweets about 440 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: it last night as I popped online to see what 441 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: the heck happened between James Harden, So I got a 442 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: bunch of text James Harton and Dylan Brooks and I 443 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: go online a couple hours after the movie and I 444 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: see that the Grizzlies still cannot get it together since 445 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: the Shannon Brown Shannon Sharp incident. So the Memphis lost 446 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: and then okayc lost. Yes, the Lakers are behind OKAC. 447 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: Remember they lost to them right before they All Star Break, 448 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: brutal loss and the game Lebron set the record. Now 449 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: they were playing the Jazz, who the Lakers need to lose. 450 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: Obviously both teams can't lose. There's no ties all that 451 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: being set. As of this morning, Friday, February twenty fourth, 452 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: the Lakers remain four games under five hundred with twenty 453 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: two left, and they are currently three and a half 454 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: back of the seven I'm sorry of the sixth seed 455 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks. Now, the Lakers made some big push in 456 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: the media talking about how, oh, our goal is to 457 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: get to six seed. That's what we really want. We 458 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: need the sixth seed. I'm like, what what six seed? 459 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 1: The hell are you talking about. You're gonna pass Portland, 460 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: Okay see Golden State Jazz pels Timberwolves and get and 461 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: then the MAVs to get the six seed. Are the 462 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: Lakers even being serious with themselves? Yes, maybe Portland is tanking. 463 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,479 Speaker 1: I don't know. How Dame Lillard and Jeremy Grant, arguably 464 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: their two best players after the All Star Break, take 465 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: the day off. What at any rate they lose? Okay, See, 466 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're really built for this. I'm 467 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: sure they'd love to make the playoffs or even the 468 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: play in I think the Lakers could pass them. But 469 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: Steph Curry's gonna be coming back here shortly now, I 470 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: don't know if it's in the next two weeks. The 471 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 1: Lakers are hosting Golden State. I was targeting that game 472 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: to go to on March fifth, but I don't think 473 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have Curry's not playing. I'm definitely not going 474 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: the Jazz hanging around Pels. No, Zion can't really get hot. 475 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: I mean, they're better than Lakers, but that's not saying much. 476 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: And then Minnesota's gonna be getting Karl Anthony Town's back 477 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: if he's not back already. And there's no way on 478 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: earth the Lakers are getting as high as the sixth seed. 479 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: That's crazy talk. It's impossible. There's no way that's happening. Yeah, 480 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: you can clip this off and throw it in my 481 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: face if they do. There's no legitimate explanation for how 482 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: the Lakers could pull that off. Oh, by the way, 483 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: Lakers in that game last night, Lebron absolutely nothing five 484 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: of twenty coming off the All Star Break. I don't 485 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: know if the finger is still an issue. And then 486 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: you've got Anthony Davis who took five shots none All 487 00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: Star Anthony Davis took five shots. Five shots. Now, I 488 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: know he didn't play much, but five shot attempts for 489 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis twenty six minutes, twelve and twelve. Hooray, way 490 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 1: to go. Mo Bamba looked pretty good.
