00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: NBA show at least new podcast feed this one stop

22
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: shop with this rotating lineup of like insiders and writers

23
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: and reporters and hosts, including yourself. You know, I did

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: my best to explain what was going on with this

25
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: bad boy, but maybe you can help us fill in

26
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: the blanks a little bit. I know, we got five

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: different podcasts, one of them being Hoops Adjacent with yourself

28
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: and Hall of Famer David Oldridge.

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: So when we came on board, myself, Jade Hoy, Black Tray,

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 4: a couple of people. Zach Harper was already at the company,

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 4: but he's counted things as well. It was in concert

33
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 4: with the Athletics sort of launching their audio division, right

34
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 4: and there ended up being a few national shows, you know,

35
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 4: ours being one of them, of course, to show that

36
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 4: I do with the Hall of Famer David Aldrid, sam

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: Amex tampering just a few national shows, but they were

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 4: doing sort of.

39
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: Doing their own thing and living on their own.

40
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 4: And then it was decided once the season started back up,

41
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 4: we would consolidated bring all of those shows into one feed.

42
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: That way, every single day, once you're you know, subscribe

43
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 4: to that feed, you will get a different flavoring, a

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 4: different sprinkling, if you will, from the different assortment of characters.

45
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: And I like to tell people that.

46
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 4: It's not just just because I'm biased, doesn't mean, it's

47
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 4: not true. I think the Athletic happens to have the

48
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: best NBA coverage in the world.

49
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 2: That's bar none.

50
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 4: And so, you know, you get voices like myself and

51
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 4: of course David Aldris, you has thirty years of NBA

52
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 4: broadcasting and reporting, and his rolodex.

53
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: Is ridiculous, you know.

54
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 4: So we get to, you know, by the grace of

55
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: David Aldris being a legend, we get to talk to

56
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: so many incredible people on the show, and I just

57
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: get to, you know, talk my general crap, you know,

58
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: be the person that I am. While David most people

59
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 4: might know him from tn T and ESPN and you

60
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 4: might know David Aldris for what I call his broadcaster voice.

61
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: But on Hoops to Jason, you don't get Chocolate City

62
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: d C.

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: David a funny guy. And I don't think a lot

64
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: of people realize that I'm with you on that, and

65
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: and even myself, like I know, ten years ago, I

66
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: would have never thought David Olders is quote unquote like

67
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: a funny guy. But you hear him on these podcasts.

68
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: We've had him on our show too. He is he's hilarious.

69
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 4: Yes, he's obviously he's extremely professional.

70
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 2: Don't get to the Hall of Fame by accident.

71
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 4: He's hard working, he's professional, he's talented, but he likes

72
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 4: to cut loose, he likes to have fun.

73
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: He is just, you know, just the dopest dude.

74
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 4: And I think that's the dynamic that people will enjoy

75
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 4: about that show. But then you got, of course, you

76
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: know Sam Amy, who's been in the game for decades.

77
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 4: Of course, and if you know Sam may make you know.

78
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: He's one of the.

79
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: Most gregarious dudes, fun guys, very easy to get along

80
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 4: with it.

81
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: So it snow wonder that he's become a very.

82
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 4: Connected guy in the NBA and so tampering And you

83
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 4: get a sprinkling of that on Basketball Buds hosted by

84
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: Zach Carper Talk Hoops on Twitter. You know, some people

85
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: credit him with creating the language of basketball Twitter, right,

86
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 4: the way we joke, the snark, the ridiculousness of it

87
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: all that, the fun that we have on Twitter, that's

88
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 4: sort of the tenor that you'll get on the basketball

89
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: But of course we get into the you know, the

90
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 4: x's and o's and the transactional stuff. But really it's

91
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: about having fun on that show. And then we got

92
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 4: a show with Ethan and.

93
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: Marcus Marcus Thompson not gonna lie to you.

94
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 4: Before I got hired by the Athletic, I had a

95
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 4: subscription literally so I could read Ethan and Marcus because

96
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 4: to me, they're two of the most the two of

97
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 4: the smartest, and they come at stuff from a worldview

98
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 4: that I genuinely don't have. Like they're so expert at

99
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 4: giving you a viewpoint that's not you know, sort of

100
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 4: the status.

101
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: Quo or the general rule of thumb.

102
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 4: And that's what you're gonna get on Thursday and Friday

103
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: with Dave DeFore Seth partner with Moldacil.

104
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: That's just straight up nerd shit.

105
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so basketball, Bud, it's tampering.

106
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: Uh ned.

107
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: She wrote the one you just mentioned point of contention,

108
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: that's Stress and Thompson. And then you have the one

109
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: that I said that you're on with the Hall of

110
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: Famer Alder Hoops.

111
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: Just because you're biased. Just because you're biased doesn't make

112
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: it untrue. You're totally right.

113
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 4: I mean, like it's just the fact, you know, I

114
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 4: just I just honestly think the the group of people

115
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: that the Athletic has assembled for the NBA, not to

116
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 4: say we don't kill NHL or the NFL, but I

117
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 4: think for the NBA. You know, of course, you guys

118
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 4: are an example of that. Of course there's Sham's Charania.

119
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: Of course, there's guys like John Krasinski and Minnesota, you know,

120
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 4: Fred Katz and Washington.

121
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: Just these guys are incredibly.

122
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 4: Connected, incredibly plugged in and insightful. And I just think

123
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 4: we have the best NBA coverage around. And that's not

124
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 4: the you know, disrespect. I have friends at ESPN, you

125
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. Those are my homies, you know,

126
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 4: But I just think we have the best NBA coverage.

127
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: Actually, just sorry. Listen, I just listened to an ESPN podcast.

128
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: Listen to Brian Windhurst talking about a friend of mine

129
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: here was talking about the MLS and that it is

130
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: bubble adjacent because the bubble is right across from from

131
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 3: the NBA Bubble. It seems like he's kind of he's

132
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 3: kind of taking your guy's show name, Bubble. Let's just

133
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 3: make a show name called Bubble. Jason. Listen, you speak

134
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: the truth, man, You speak the truth. Except for Zach Harper.

135
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: Zak Harper invented the language that we talked about people.

136
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 5: I don't know, I think I think one of those

137
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 5: people would say that is Zach hoppin his mom you know.

138
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, FA's too, Fa.

139
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 2: You're right.

140
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if if Alderge is in the actual Basketball

141
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, when there's ever a Twitter Hall of Fame,

142
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: h Harper will be going in just for your volume

143
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: of tweets. Yeah, exactly, exactly right.

144
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: All right.

145
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: So, as I said yesterday and as we was just

146
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: eloquently put it, smash the subscribe button the Athletic NBA

147
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: Show if you haven't already, I would assume people listening

148
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: to no dunks here, especially by way of the Athletic

149
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: listen to a lot of those shows already. Now they're

150
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: all in one spot. That's pretty pretty damn convenient if

151
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: you ask me so, the Athletic NBA Show, and shout

152
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: out to all the guys and all the all the

153
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, contributors too, Like you were saying, you were

154
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: going through some of them, like some of the guys

155
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,239
Speaker 1: that are on the beats and stuff like that for teams.

156
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: John Hollinger is obviously another great one. Of course, a

157
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: lot of voices coming through a lot of these shows.

158
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,600

Speaker 4: You know, you get the big hard plastic to put

202
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 4: your special shack rookie card and then of course you

203
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 4: would have the booklet, and yeah, I was.

204
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: I was one of those people tops ultra flair, all

205
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: of these things up per deck. I was one of

206
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: those cats.

207
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: Were you just collecting basketball cards or like other sports

208
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: and stuff like that?

209
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: Oh?

210
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: No, I was strictly basketball, and I had interest in

211
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 4: football and baseball, and I know baseball was like.

212
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 2: The krem De la Creme of card collecting.

213
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 4: But I was just addicted to basketball, even from an

214
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 4: early age.

215
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: So I was only collecting basketball cards.

216
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: So here's the question, do you still have any of them?

217
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: Did mom throw them all out?

218
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: Did you I lost those a while ago, man, we

219
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 4: had moved. My mom had bought a house.

220
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: In Queens, New York.

221
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 4: So we moved from We lived in an apartment building

222
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 4: in the East Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, and then my

223
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 4: mom bought a house in Queen. She was like, a

224
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 4: Brooklyn is we need to get a house, and so she,

225
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 4: you know, she saved up money and she bought a

226
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 4: house and Queens, and in between that moved from Brooklyn

227
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 4: to Queens.

228
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: I lost the cards.

229
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 4: And you know, by that time, I had, you know,

230
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 4: I had figured out some things about my body and

231
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 4: that I.

232
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: Like girls and it was just over. It was over

233
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: from basketball.

234
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 5: Look, it happened the same for me. But then I

235
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 5: had a resurgence in my late forty or early forties.

236
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 5: I guess nostalgia factor, man, Yeah, exactly.

237
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 2: Sure. It is fun.

238
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: Like we've done it in the office before, right Lee,

239
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: Like people send us unopened packs of like cards from

240
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: the nineties. It's like, God, I get a rush just

241
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: opening up a pack from ninety one for some reason.

242
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 5: We Yeah, it's awesome. I've got like hundreds and hundreds

243
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 5: of cards now in my house and it's weird. Sure,

244
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 5: it's no doubt it's weird. But it's also fun. Why not.

245
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 5: You know, if you can talk to if you can

246
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 5: talk to Hall of famers and legends about it, that

247
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 5: makes it a whole lot more fun.

248
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

249
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: You know what's so amazing about that too, is that

250
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 4: I want to say I started collecting maybe the end

251
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 4: of Kevin Garnett's rookie year, and so therefore that summer

252
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 4: when Steph who I call the real Steph, Steph Marberry and.

253
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 3: AI and Steve Nash, well.

254
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 4: There you go, Steve Nash, Jermaine O'Neill Kobe. All these

255
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 4: guys got drafted in that draft, and even then I

256
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 4: was like, and especially after that Slam cover, I was like,

257
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 4: these are the coolest dudes I've ever seen in my life.

258
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 4: And I was just obsessed with collecting card. Those guys

259
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 4: drove me to want to go out and get the

260
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: Antoine Walker rookie card. It was it was incredible.

261
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, do you remember the best card

262
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: you think you owned? Man was a player?

263
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 4: It was probably I probably had a tops Allan Iverson,

264
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 4: and there was this idea and I don't know, there

265
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 4: was just always this buzz and this idea around Iverson

266
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 4: that he was special, and it was always, you know,

267
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 4: and when you were card collecting, it was like the

268
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: rookie card is the card totally right, And so you're

269
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 4: getting in on Alan Iverson, which is what again why

270
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 4: I call it ego gambling for kids, Like you're buying

271
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 4: cards in hopes that you're gonna get that one card

272
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 4: that makes you a thousand ares someday.

273
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: I've shared the story on the podcast before. I mean,

274
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: at the height of my you know, card fandom, I

275
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: stole from a store. I stole a Kevin Johnson Rookie

276
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: card just so weird. But I stole it for my

277
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: buddy Brish for his birthday. Just pocketed it and took

278
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: it home, threw it in a card, like I wrote

279
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: him a card and said happy birthday, Bro. He's like, wow,

280
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson Rookie card. And I swear to god, I'm

281
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: pretty sure it was fifty dollars at the time, Like.

282
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 2: What a racket that was that?

283
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 5: Kevin Johnson cabs Rookie though I.

284
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: Think it was yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's how you

285
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: write it.

286
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 4: Was crazy, was yeah, and again you know you would

287
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 4: compare your collection with your friends and and you weren't it.

288
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 2: Again, you weren't a series collector. If you let it

289
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: had the bunny ears at the top, the special cards

290
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: had to go on a hard plastic he used to

291
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: ensure that it would stay in.

292
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,239
Speaker 4: Pristine conditioned when eventually you would sell to somebody.

293
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: I don't know who you might sell this card, somebody

294
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: who thought it was so valuable.

295
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: So silly. Yeah, I gotta keep it, mint, I gotta

296
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: keep Yeah. The only other card story I have is

297
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: one of my biggest fights with my next door neighbor.

298
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: Shout out to Dwayne Kelly, who lived side by side,

299
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: was my best friend growing up, obviously just because of proximity.

300
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: But a great guy. And I remember once we got

301
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: into a huge fight. Who knows what it was about.

302
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: And I think it was me or I can't remembers

303
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: me or him, but one of us ripped up a

304
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: Grant Fure remember Grant Fuur hockey goalie, and I think

305
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: it was me ripped it up in front of him

306
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: and it was his card or something like that was

307
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: like it was like killing his dog or something like.

308
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: At the time, like it was brutal.

309
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: Well, sounded like your best friends. Just because of proximity.

310
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: He was one of my best friends.

311
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: Man.

312
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: You know, look we have we fallen out of tauch.

313
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: He moves away, I move away, but showed up to Dwayn.

314
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 3: Kelly used to catch with the right hand. Don't see

315
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 3: too many of those guys.

316
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Grord wasn't even know what I'm talking about.

317
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: No, I don't.

318
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 4: A very little bit of hockey that I did know

319
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 4: was all Rangers and Devils.

320
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 2: Marty bro Door, Okay, Mike.

321
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: Richter, you're banging at home. I got cards behind me.

322
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: I got a lot of basketball, baseball and hockey cards

323
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: behind me. Uh, I got a David Kohne. You're in Queen's.

324
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: See Baseball. I know baseball. I know. I was actually

325
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: a fan. I would actually watch Kames hockey.

326
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 4: It was one of those things where Messier won the championship,

327
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 4: and you know, I like, let's face it, it wasn't

328
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 4: a big deal in my blackass neighborhood, but I could

329
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 4: tell that it was a big deal elsewhere city. And

330
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 4: so that's what I remember. That's my dog Ted. He's

331
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 4: a he's a woken.

332
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: So your dog's name is Ted.

333
00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: His name is.

334
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: Theodore, but we call them Ted or Teddy or whatever.

335
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: I've always enjoyed a human name for an animal. I

336
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: gotta be honest, I just love it. It's like, oh,

337
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: that's Ted again, acting because you don't want to name.

338
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: The dog Fido.

339
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with it. Or you know, Hutch, we have

340
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: veered onto a wicked tangent. There, I love it. Final

341
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: piece of news. You know we're on Facebook at Facebook

342
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: dot com slash no dunk's ink.

343
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: Well, I guess it's official. We're now on Facebook.

344
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: All right, that's right, carth Okay, so we got oas

345
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: on here. We thought we would do some big bubble

346
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: questions for Big Waz again, some silly ones, some serious

347
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: ones like our first one. I would say it's serious

348
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: that we learned yesterday was of the three hundred and

349
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: twenty two players the NBA tested since this campus idea opened,

350
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: just to return positive and the NBA says that neither

351
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: of those players actually cleared quarantine, so they have left

352
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: the campus. They never actually were into the bubble, which

353
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: I guess is good news. We all learn that Russell Westbrook,

354
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: another star player, did test positive for the virus, and

355
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: he'll be coming later in theory once he clears quarantine.

356
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: So my first question is, on a scale of one

357
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: to ten, was you know, ten being very very confident?

358
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: One shut it down? How confident are you about this

359
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: entire NBA restart plan working?

360
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: Eleven? Twelve?

361
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: Wow?

362
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 4: And not in the see working is a tricky word there,

363
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 4: because for somebody like you and I, if Lebron James

364
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 4: and Kawhi Leonard and Giannis.

365
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: Ottakoupo too see this thing through, it didn't work.

366
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 4: But for the purposes of the NBA, which is playing

367
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 4: out a season or a season like organism or substance,

368
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 4: it's going to happen.

369
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: You think there will be someone handed a championship.

370
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, some point, because both sides are extremely motivated

371
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 4: for that to be the case. And that's why I

372
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 4: know it's going to happen. The only reason to even

373
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 4: start this thing back up and do this disjointed you

374
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 4: know fact similarle of an NBA season and playoff and

375
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 4: championship crown is to fulfill their financial obligations. Everybody decided, like,

376
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 4: we cannot jeopardize this money, and so let's go out

377
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 4: play games.

378
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: The TV partners can't say we didn't play the games.

379
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 4: They can't say we didn't crown a championship, run a playoff. Now,

380
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 4: will it be anything like what we saw in twenty

381
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 4: nineteen eighteen and the seventy five years that came before it?

382
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 2: Probably not.

383
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 4: But will they go through this regular season and crown

384
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 4: a championship?

385
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: One hundred percent Yes they will.

386
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lee, You've been a little more hesitant with this

387
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: thing actually coming to completion, Like was this saying there'd

388
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: be a championship? You think a lot of things could

389
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: still go run and they obviously could, though your what

390
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: has been your reaction to hearing a lot of the

391
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: players I know, Kyle Lowry yesterday going on about like, damn,

392
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: the protocol are legit here and we'll get to some

393
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,479
Speaker 1: of the guys breaking them a little bit later on,

394
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: and you know, having to penalize themselves and be quarantined

395
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: even longer. But what do you think of what we're

396
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: hearing from the players after a week or so there

397
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: before they've actually played the games. Are you more confident?

398
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 5: A little more confident?

399
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

400
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 5: I mean they're certainly not taking any chances. I know

401
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 5: as well seeing some of the NBA reporters down there,

402
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 5: they're being tested all the time, they're banned from even

403
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 5: leaving their room. We've seen Ben Koliver storming around his

404
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 5: room trying to get exercise in there. But as far

405
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 5: as the players and the coaches and the staff, yeah,

406
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 5: everyone seems to really understand that, like there's no risk. Well,

407
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 5: well there's risk, of course, but you can't take any

408
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 5: chances whatsoever. We've got to make sure that once you're

409
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 5: in there, you don't leave and you follow all the guidelines.

410
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 5: And if everyone does that, then it certainly increases the

411
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 5: chances someone like a Russell Westbrook who wasn't even there.

412
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 5: I mean, that's great that they were able to catch

413
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 5: that before he even joined the team, because that's all

414
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,640
Speaker 5: it takes is one guy to sort of slip through

415
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 5: the system, and that can just go through an entire

416
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 5: team and then knock them out entirely. So I think

417
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 5: the NBA has certainly done a very good job in

418
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 5: preparing this bubble and getting everything set for it. But

419
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 5: of course that's for the players and the stuff.

420
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 2: We know.

421
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 5: There is still a problem with the Disney staff who

422
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 5: are apparently going to be able to come and go freely,

423
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 5: which is going to that's going to add another layer

424
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 5: of risk to it. So I think I think the

425
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 5: NBA is doing a very good job in how they're

426
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 5: getting it all set up. But again it's still it's

427
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 5: a long what from July thirty until October twelve, that's

428
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 5: a very very big window for nothing to go wrong.

429
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 5: So you know, obviously his course, as the further it

430
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 5: goes on, there's less teams as fewer players, so but

431
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 5: then there's family, that's right, so there's different elements that

432
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 5: come into it. So yeah, I definitely I've been impressed

433
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 5: anyway with how the NBA has taken how serious they've

434
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 5: taken it. Not that they were going to take any

435
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 5: cavalier chances, of course, but I've been impressed with just

436
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 5: how strict it has been and how serious they know

437
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 5: that if they have to cancel this halfway through or

438
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 5: later on, that he's going to be a complete disaster.

439
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: Well, we're in the thick of it right now. Because

440
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: you mentioned those two players that have contracted it since

441
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: they got to Orlando. Skeets, I know you kind of said,

442
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 3: and it's kind of it's.

443
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: Kind of a little cloudy right this, this reporting on this,

444
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: because the NBA task is saying they were not in

445
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 1: the campus, but you're right, or not in the bubble,

446
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: but you are right. They went to Orlando.

447
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 3: They went to Orlando, and that's the tricky part. We

448
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 3: got major league soccer bubble adjacent as it's called. They

449
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: had two of their teams left. They they left Orlando

450
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 3: because it was running through their teams, and the big

451
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 3: problem was they're coming down with the virus. They're coming

452
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 3: from their team or from their cities with the virus.

453
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 3: So the scary part is, yeah, those two dudes, and

454
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 3: it's not very clear what's going on with these players.

455
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 3: They're isolating at home or in isolation house and after

456
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 3: getting to Orlando, So is there going to be a

457
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 3: case where it's going to run through a team or

458
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 3: run through a staff, which we haven't been. They haven't

459
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 3: told us at all about the staff since getting down there.

460
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 3: That I mean, it's right now, I think, you know, yeah,

461
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 3: the Disney employees is definitely another layer. Families in when

462
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: it comes to the conference finals, when they get there,

463
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 3: that's another layer for sure. But right now is the

464
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: big time because the transition happening. And yeah it's James

465
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 3: Harden's not there, Nikol Jokich isn't there, bam Adebayo's not there,

466
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook obviously not there. The Rockets are just gonna

467
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: be playing warm up games. I think, I mean, this

468
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: hurts them. This hurts them big time. They're talking about

469
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: playing defense and PJ. Tucker says, our guys don't talk

470
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 3: on defense, and two of their best players, the guys

471
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 3: who are you know, supposed to stop the other team

472
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 3: from getting to the three point line, aren't even there yet.

473
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 3: So I mean this hurts their chances. I think it

474
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: just hopefully you know this buffer period from mid to

475
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 3: late July here, even if you know we don't see

476
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 3: good basketball come seeding games, which I'm getting less and

477
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: less confident we're gonna watch anything but glorified warm up's

478
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 3: happening out there. If they can at least get everybody healthy,

479
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what this period was built in for,

480
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 3: and then we'll see some real good playoffs. And as

481
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 3: I said, as long as those guys are out there,

482
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 3: Harden and Westbrook if he's recovered, and who knows what's

483
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: going on with Harden and Jokic if he's recovered, like

484
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: these guys, there could be some long term effects. So

485
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 3: I do agree though with us. If they start playing

486
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 3: and Yannis and all of these guys make it to

487
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: the finals, successes is been working is probably the proper term.

488
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: The other thing, though, I think we have to remember is, yeah,

489
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: it can be working perfectly fine within this bubble that

490
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: the NBA has, you know, gone overboard with all of

491
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: the protocols and the safety and good on them. But

492
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: what happened. What we gotta remember what's going on outside

493
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: the bubble, and if there is pressure from the state.

494
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 3: Of Florida, not gonna happen.

495
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: The optics of the rest of the country, Like my god,

496
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, people. We don't have hospital, but we don't

497
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: have tests whatever, like it gets that to that extreme,

498
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: which it is going that way? I mean, are we

499
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: then just find one that's all right? At least they're

500
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: playing finding me? Is this NBA bubble? At least we

501
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: can watch this at eight o'clock every night, like there

502
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: could be pressure was a little bit. No, maybe I'm

503
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: wrong to actually stop the dam thing, even if though

504
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: they're their safe inside it.

505
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: I might be.

506
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 4: I might be in the minority here, but I see

507
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 4: that as a failure of the federal government.

508
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and not in overreach of the NBA.

509
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 4: The NBA, if do not have as much resources as

510
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 4: the federal government.

511
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: Let's just face it, like the sheared number.

512
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 4: You know, the Fed came out and gave Wall Street

513
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 4: four trillion dollars to stabilize the market. So if we

514
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 4: got four trillion for that, if we really, really really

515
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 4: wanted to invest in a robust testing program, we could

516
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 4: probably do it. Because the federal government has more resources

517
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 4: just by definition than the NBA does. So if that

518
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 4: becomes the case and the NBA can't explain like this

519
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 4: is not an NBA failure that we've done things.

520
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 2: Right, this is a failure outside of us.

521
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 4: We've put our resources into making sure that we could

522
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 4: create a very safe environment for people. And so then

523
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 4: you know the concept that the optics would be messed up,

524
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 4: that the NBA is doing it right rather than the NBA's.

525
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 2: Doing it right, and so therefore they're an example, right,

526
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 2: you know, I just don't buy that.

527
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 4: But I'm also somebody who I have a blind spot

528
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 4: for the perception issues that I feel like it just

529
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 4: special to the NBA that the NBA is constantly battling

530
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 4: a perception issue, and so I don't know, you know, Like,

531
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 4: for instance, I was talking to somebody the other day about,

532
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 4: you know, the NBA is highly linked to China because

533
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 4: they do business there.

534
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, American business has been in China for forty years.

535
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 2: What the the NBA is the face of American business

536
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: in China?

537
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: How right?

538
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 2: You know?

539
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 4: But again, like it's what for whatever reason, the NBA

540
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 4: is constantly in a battle with their perception in this country,

541
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 4: and so.

542
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 2: Who knows what could happen with that.

543
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 4: I'm just telling you, if you can't combat we're competent,

544
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 4: and the rest of the country is it, And that

545
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 4: makes this bad.

546
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 1: I don't know, right, I love it. Well, look I

547
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 1: said we would get to a couple of these players

548
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: that broke some rules already and have been penalized. Bruno

549
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: Koboclo of the Rockets, he was unaware, I guess, Bruno,

550
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: he was unaware that he was not allowed to leave

551
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: his room. You know, he was during the quarantine phase,

552
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: that little lockdown phase when they first got there. And

553
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: this is despite all of the players, all the staff

554
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: knowing this protocol, and he broke it. He says he

555
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: wasn't he was unaware of that. But anyway, he is

556
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: now forced to really I mean not forced. I guess

557
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: he can theory just straight up to leave if he

558
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: wanted to, But he has to now be in quarantine

559
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: for ten days already, like seven or eight days in

560
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: and Rashaun Holmes we learned across the Disney campus line

561
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: to pick up delivery food and now must quarantine for

562
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: these ten days. Again, he's got like seven or eight

563
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: days remaining. So they're taking this damn serious. One of

564
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: the questions we were gonna have for you was, even

565
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: though we now have some answers, but like, which player

566
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: is most likely to get himself in trouble and why?

567
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: And I guess the second question of that is, are

568
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: we gonna see more of this of guys intentionally or

569
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: unintentionally breaking the rules and uh and you know, getting

570
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: a slap on the wrist because of it. What do

571
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: you think?

572
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 4: First, I want to say, Bruno Kuboculo needs a better agent.

573
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 4: He should have did like Sammy Sosai and Congress and

574
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 4: act like you don't speak English.

575
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 2: I don't know.

576
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 4: Language barrier, guys, but you know the To answer your question, though,

577
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: Je has got to be the guy who allegedly accidentally

578
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 4: overdosed on edibles on a team flight.

579
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 2: That's my bet.

580
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 4: You know there's somebody who might be getting in trouble

581
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 4: during the bubble in quarantine he got he accidentally overdosed

582
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 4: on edibles at work?

583
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: Y'all at work?

584
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: Interesting? Okay, when he's on the flight, you're considering he's

585
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: at work.

586
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 4: Of course, you're with your bosses, you're with your colleagues.

587
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: That's work time. You don't just get to do whatever

588
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 2: you want. When you get to your house, you're officially

589
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 2: off the clock.

590
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 4: But once you're team facility, team planed the arena, you

591
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 4: want worktime.

592
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: Brother, So Deane Waiters as a possibility here. Okay, well that's.

593
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 5: The low hanging fruit though I think there was, isn't

594
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 5: it really? I mean, you know, I think it's going

595
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 5: to be a bit of a shocker. You know, someone

596
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 5: who sort of is gonna test the test the boundaries

597
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 5: a little bit and then the NBA is gonna have

598
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 5: to come down out on them. I mean, maybe it's

599
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 5: a James Harden. You know he's thinking like, nah, I

600
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 5: can sneak out, I can get some take out. They

601
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 5: won't do it to me, but you know they're gonna

602
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 5: have tot they if it's anyone, they're gonna have to

603
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 5: dish out the same punishment.

604
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

605
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: No, And honestly, I don't want to see any guy

606
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: have to be like in his hotel room for ten days.

607
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: But if the NBA is gonna pull this off, they

608
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: have to be serious about it. And so if a

609
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: guy just went and picked up you know, Uber eats

610
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: and he went to a spot he wasn't supposed to

611
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: and didn't follow the protocols correctly like Holmes, then sorry,

612
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,239
Speaker 1: that's just the way it's gotta be. I mean, they

613
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: put the rules in place to try and keep everybody safe,

614
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: try and keep the virus out. And you broke the rules,

615
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: man like you pay the punishment.

616
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 3: I'm surprised that no one has used the player hotline

617
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 3: snitch line quite yet. Yeah. You basically pick up the

618
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 3: phone and call a number and say, this guy is

619
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 3: leaving his room. He's he's going to get Postmates. They

620
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 3: don't pick him up. And I guess the obvious answer

621
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 3: for who would do that first is Chris Paul. Yeah.

622
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's saving it. He's saving that, man, he's.

623
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 2: Saving that for the playoffs.

624
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 4: He and I think that's when you're gonna see the

625
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 4: snitch hot line start going into overjob.

626
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: It's not just gonna apply to places.

627
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 4: You're gonna see coaches getting snitched on, train is getting

628
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 4: snitched on anything for competitive advantage. I think you're gonna

629
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 4: see it. And and I don't think it's just gonna

630
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 4: be relegated to the Chris Paul types. You're gonna see

631
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 4: guys be like, oh okay, I can do that and

632
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 4: get that. Okay, I'm gonna do what. These guys are

633
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 4: not dumb and and and guys enjoy it, and guys

634
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 4: enjoy a competitive advantage.

635
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Chris Paul's not dumb either. Like you said,

636
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 3: Bruno Kobokla should have been covering his ass saying I

637
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 3: don't speak English. Chris Paul. Probably have somebody call in

638
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 3: for him, but probably have his life, Chris Paul, or

639
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 3: call in for.

640
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: Him and it'll be the state farm. Chris Paul, what

641
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: food was would you break quarantine for? You would pull

642
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: over Shaan Holmes because you're like, goddamn and I want

643
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: that food. Yeah, Orlando, Yeah, that's true.

644
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 2: Probably see out here.

645
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 4: It would probably be for some kick ass tie or

646
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 4: Mexican food out here in Los Angeles, because that's what

647
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 4: Los Angeles specializes in, taie food, Mexican food. And if

648
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 4: I was in New York, of course it'd probably be

649
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,719
Speaker 4: an incredible slice of pizza.

650
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 6: But in Orlando, I don't know what the local cuisine is,

651
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 6: but I'm sure they've got some kind of great steakhouse there,

652
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 6: so it would probably be for some amazing either New York

653
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 6: strip or Rabbi of course medium rare bone in you.

654
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: Know, like to sugg on that bone, y'all.

655
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: I gotta leaning about you. What are you crossing the

656
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: boundary for?

657
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 4: It?

658
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: It gets to break quarantine for food. Is there anything

659
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: about it?

660
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what it is. It's actually going to

661
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 5: pick my own bananas because we've been getting a lot

662
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 5: of instacot delivery lately. But I don't treat bananas with respect.

663
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 2: Man.

664
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 5: The bananas come bruised and beaten up. I've had to

665
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 5: throw out so many of them, and I'm like, all right, well.

666
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: Well don't throw them out, throw them the freezer, make

667
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: some banana bread later.

668
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 5: They're they're not salvageable, some of them. Man, They're just

669
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 5: because they've been squashed and thrown in the car and

670
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 5: just trade it with disrespect. So I would have to

671
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 5: be like, I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to go to

672
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 5: Whole Foods and get my own bananas here.

673
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: What do you want? The bananas hanging from the person's

674
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: rearview mirror when they pull up.

675
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 5: Man, you're someone who appreciates how well foods should be

676
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 5: packed at the grocery store. I think people leave there

677
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 5: and they're just they're just shoving the bananas in, like

678
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 5: with everything. They don't They don't really care for him.

679
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's said. Times have change right now, Lee, You

680
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: got to get the hell in and out of a

681
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: grocery store as quick as you can man throll the banana.

682
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: Just chuck them in the cart.

683
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 5: Let's go, put them on, put them at the end,

684
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 5: put them last, and make sure you pick the right

685
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 5: ones as well. That's the other thing. People just grab

686
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 5: any bananas, you know, I need them, not yet ripe

687
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 5: I need. That's rocking them at home.

688
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: They got to be a little green, a little green.

689
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 5: When you're picking up and they take a day or

690
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 5: two in this heat to really ripen up. But yeah,

691
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 5: I've had some really frustrating experiences with bananas in this quarantine.

692
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: Tass If you brow a quarantine to pick up food,

693
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: would we see a tweet from your wife, who is

694
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: basically a professional chef, like Rashan Holmes mom tweeting at him, Hey,

695
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: you're only supposed to cross the line for my food,

696
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: for mom's food. Would Danielle say that to you if

697
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: you went and picked up, you know, a pizza slice

698
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: or something like that.

699
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, she doesn't tweet much. Yeah, she would

700
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 3: give it to me personally. What what what does that mean?

701
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 2: Though?

702
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 3: What does Rashaun Holmes Mom's mean?

703
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: Like she's saying you Mama's home cooking that's the only

704
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: thing putting yourself at risk for her. It's a pretty

705
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: funny tweet.

706
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 3: I wouldn't I wouldn't like said, I mean, the local

707
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 3: cuisine down there is Disney. I think. I think that's

708
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 3: when you I've been, I've spent it is. We've spent

709
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 3: you know, a few days down there in Orlando. It's

710
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 3: Disney all the time. But you know, I'm not an

711
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 3: Orlando expert. Actually, I saw the great Jamel Hill tweet.

712
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 3: I've lived in Orlando for seven years. He's all going

713
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 3: to be really disappointed when we find out he risked

714
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 3: it all for Longhorn Steakhouse.

715
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: So was he right?

716
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 3: It's a steak a stake AND's what everybody's gonna risk

717
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: it for. It'scott. That's the best Orlando food you got

718
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 3: right there.

719
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: It's probably true. So all right, so he is now

720
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: he will be with the team in theory, he's just

721
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: got to be in his hotel room like he's Ben

722
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: Gulliver for the next seven days. All right, let's get back.

723
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: Let's get back to a basketball question here for you.

724
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: Was which player and you can tell us why do

725
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: you think it under the most pressure in this bubble situation,

726
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: and this is the rest of the season situation.

727
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 2: I think you.

728
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 4: Gotta look at guys with contracts coming up, yep, and

729
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 4: if you know, and I don't know if it's a

730
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 4: lot of pressure, but if I'm somebody like Jason Tatum,

731
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 4: who maybe some folks think he did enough within that

732
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 4: two month stretch where he was basically a world beater

733
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,719
Speaker 4: to get hit to lock in the absolute max value

734
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 4: that he can with the Celtics. But I think it's

735
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 4: somebody like him. I think it's somebody like a D

736
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 4: who uh, you know, even though this is a disjointed playoffs,

737
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 4: and not so much for his contract because he's you know,

738
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 4: he's locked into a supermax, but like because the playoffs

739
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 4: are still gonna be the playoffs. He's somebody who's been

740
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 4: kind of unproven, right, like a bunch of first and

741
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 4: second round exits. On let's face, it also ran type

742
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 4: of NBA playoff teams, I would say, somebody like a

743
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 4: D and the superstar realm is somebody you gotta say,

744
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 4: all right, we're watching you a D.

745
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 2: For the first time in your life. You're playing on.

746
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 4: A team that is expected to compete for a championship

747
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 4: and you are seen as one of the best players

748
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 4: on that team, and so it's gonna be because of you,

749
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 4: you know, partly in a huge part because of you,

750
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 4: if or when they're able to succeed in that way

751
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 4: as far as the championship is concerned.

752
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 1: So I'd say a d A d Okay, that's an interesting,

753
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: interesting take. I didn't see that pick being thrown out

754
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 1: there from Waz and the Tatum. Just back to Tatum

755
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: for a second. You don't think Tatum is is gonna

756
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: basically be guaranteed max money.

757
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 4: I mean, it's the Celtics, right, Like, nobody drives a

758
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 4: harder bargain than those dudes. And let's face it, if

759
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 4: they can figure out a reason to not give them

760
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 4: the absolute right like because of the way the CBA

761
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 4: is structured, the Celtics can pay. There's it in between

762
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 4: line between what another team can pay him and what

763
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 4: the Celtics can pay him at their absolute max. And

764
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 4: if they can figure out a way to save a

765
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 4: couple of dollars, I'm sure they will.

766
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: Wow, that's very Danny Aingelake.

767
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 3: I guess I think there's pressure on Jason Tatum to

768
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 3: be awesome in this postseason because the Celtics offense does

769
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 3: run dry at times, and I know we're all just salivating,

770
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 3: like we're ted watching Jason Tatum play good basketball in

771
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 3: February and March. But the playoffs is a different story.

772
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 3: So they're gonna be very good. They're definitely gonna be good.

773
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 3: But if they if Jason Tatum can get to that level,

774
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 3: I think he's probably the only guy that can get

775
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 3: to that level. I'm not sure it's on Kembo or

776
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 3: Jalen Walker right now to take them to potential NBA final.

777
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 3: I think that's where he does have some pressure because

778
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 3: I know we're just thinking about Jason Tatum was rocking

779
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 3: it in February and March, but now superstar Time's that's

780
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 3: different time.

781
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 1: He's had some playoff moments already. It is fairly young career.

782
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: I mean he showed up before Lee. Is there anyone

783
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: else that you would add to this list? Maybe it

784
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: is like, well, was a lit at the beginning there,

785
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: like a contract guy like a Fred van Vlid or Yeah.

786
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 5: I mean it's such an unusual circumstance that in a

787
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 5: lot of ways, I think most guys sort of get

788
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 5: a pass in this.

789
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: Because you know coaches two do you think.

790
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 5: Well, well, I mean, I guess in that sense, you'd

791
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 5: probably look at Brett Brown most likely to be the

792
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 5: one that the Sixers I feel, are trying to find

793
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 5: a reason to fire him and d'An toni as well

794
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 5: out in Houston. So if the Sixers make it and

795
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 5: they flame out in the first round, I think Brett

796
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 5: Brown probably doesn't survive. But if they can get beyond

797
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 5: the first round and into the second round, that's probably enough.

798
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 5: Although I think there's sixth at the moment, I believe

799
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 5: when the season was suspended, so they yeah, I mean,

800
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 5: well then you think they're not really going in against

801
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 5: the team with home court advantage because it doesn't really

802
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 5: count down there. So so definitely, I mean Ben Simmons

803
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 5: and EMBD and Brett Brown, they're kind of linked together,

804
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 5: those three like they have to figure out a way

805
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 5: to make it work because there's no question the talent

806
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 5: is there. You know, they've got the star players, all

807
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 5: star they're all NBA players, they're great defensive players. But

808
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 5: so far, I think most of us look at Philadelphia

809
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 5: and it just wasn't quite working there this season. Ol

810
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 5: Hawford surprisingly wasn't able to really fit into that team.

811
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 5: They picked up Josh Richardson as well. They've got good

812
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 5: players on paper, but Brett Brown has to find a

813
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 5: way to make it work. So I think minimum for

814
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 5: the Sixers is getting out of the first round of

815
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 5: the playoffs. If they don't do that, then then Brett

816
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 5: Brown might be in a bit of trouble.

817
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: Well, they're already trying new things. Lee saw the news

818
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons in practice. At least they're playing them at

819
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: power forward. Shake Milton at the point. Joell Ebiid says

820
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: he's loving it. Simmons says he's all in on it.

821
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: Brown says, you know, we would have, in theory maybe

822
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: even done this when we first drafted them, but we

823
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: needed somebody to play the point, so we gave the

824
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: ball to Simmons. What do you think of this possible

825
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: experiment we see when the season kicks off again of

826
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: Simmons not playing point.

827
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 4: What do you think I mean positional wise when it

828
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 4: comes to Ben Simmons, this all semantic, right, like who's

829
00:37:58,920 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 4: he gonna go?

830
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 2: That's really all that matters.

831
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 4: And he's been somebody who's guarded power forwards in the past,

832
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 4: he's and that's to me one of his probably his

833
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 4: greatest strength, his defensive versatility, his ability to guard one

834
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 4: through four with no problem because of his strength, his quickness,

835
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 4: and at just his sheer athletic ability and explosiveness. So

836
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 4: this doesn't really surprise me much. Ben Simmons can guard

837
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 4: most of the NBA's power forwards. He's that talented defensively.

838
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 4: But one more God think we should keep our eye

839
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 4: on as far as pressure is concerned. Also in the

840
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 4: Eastern Conference is Chris Middleton, and that's because if the

841
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 4: Bucks thing is seen as not being able to work,

842
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 4: it's going to be because Chris Middleton, or that's what

843
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 4: people are gonna say. It's because Chris Middleton isn't good enough.

844
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 4: And therefore that's why Jannis ant to the Compo, probably

845
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 4: the greatest player outside of Kareem in the history of

846
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 4: that franchise.

847
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 2: Is leading. They're gonna say he left town because the likes.

848
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 4: Of Chris mill Middleton and Dante DiVincenzo and and the

849
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 4: rest weren't good enough to win a championship.

850
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 2: So if that thing is seen as not being able to.

851
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 4: Work as presently constituted, it's gonna be because their second

852
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 4: best player, their max player, Chris Middleton.

853
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: Wasn't good enough.

854
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 4: It's not gonna they're not gonna say it's because Giannis

855
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 4: isn't good enough.

856
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, So so similar to sort of what you were

857
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: saying in a way to Anthony Davis, Right, it's like

858
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: you're the second guy. You you get paid the big money,

859
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: you're a star, you're an all star, and you got

860
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: to show up in the playoffs to help out your

861
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: other you know, all star there. Yeah, I think there's

862
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: some truth to that. And Middleton had, you know, an

863
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,760
Speaker 1: underrated season. I think the casual fan almost has no idea.

864
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, this season that people think Jason Tatum.

865
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 1: Had rightly, Well, that's a good way to put it. Maybe,

866
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: so can he continue that in the playoffs. He's had

867
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: moments in the playoffs too, where he has completely disappeared.

868
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: He's had really rough games and then you never want,

869
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: like you never want the ophers type of games from

870
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: your max another Max guy on your roster. It's just

871
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta pencil him in for twenty every night

872
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: in any sort of playoff game. He's got to hit

873
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: shots and he's and he's a good defender too. He's

874
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: actually a little underrated, I think on that. And so

875
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: that's a that's a good one because and that's just

876
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: because of expectations like the Lakers, Oh, they should be

877
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: a title contender, they should be in the championship finals.

878
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 4: Same with the Bucks's contract is looming.

879
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: Oh that's true.

880
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 2: That's the thing. It's looming.

881
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 4: And there's this perception that he's only going to leave

882
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 4: if this thing is seen as not championship worthy. And

883
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 4: so when you when you consider all of that, where

884
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 4: somebody could put it on you that Yannis, the likes

885
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 4: of Yan, a generation with talent like Jiannis, sounds like

886
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 4: a goople left because you weren't good enough, you know that. Yeah,

887
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 4: that's a lot of pressure.

888
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, who do you have was as a

889
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: dark horse title contender? You know, we talked about the Lakers,

890
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: the Bucks, probably the Clippers in the mix there as

891
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: the legit favorites. But who would you have as a

892
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: you know, potential dark horse title contender for here in

893
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: the bubble?

894
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 4: And I promised this is not a pandit Oh here

895
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 4: we baby, And if not a title contender, somebody who

896
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 4: can go to the finals.

897
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 2: For sure, I just to me.

898
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 4: First of all, what I love about the Raptors is

899
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 4: that when they traded for Kawhi Leonard, I immediately picked

900
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 4: them to go to the finals. Everybody was jacking the

901
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 4: Celtics and the Bucks. Not not the Bucks so much,

902
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 4: that's a lie, but the Celtics were the team and

903
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 4: I was like, Nope, the Raptors now have the best

904
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 4: player in the Eastern Conference. The defensive versatility of that

905
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 4: team is gonna be off the charts.

906
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 2: They're the best team in the East. They're gonna go

907
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 2: to the finals. So not only did they go to

908
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 2: the finals, they won. It made me look like a genius.

909
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 4: So I loved the Raptors just for my own vanity purposes. Secondly,

910
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 4: what I love about them is just the intensity. This

911
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 4: team plays hard every single night.

912
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 5: Uh.

913
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 4: They played with a level of cohesion and togetherness that

914
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 4: you just don't see on NBA team right, And so

915
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 4: I think in the bubble atmosphere, the Raptors come in

916
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 4: with an advantage.

917
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 2: Of that cohesion. I don't think it's gonna take time

918
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 2: for that to happen.

919
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 4: They're gonna hit the gate and just I promise you,

920
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 4: they're gonna be mauling people because they play so hard,

921
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 4: they play so together. I mean when it comes to

922
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 4: IQ basketball, IQ on that team, from a Kyle Lowry

923
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 4: to a Fred Van Vliet to Mark Gasol, just the

924
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 4: collective basketball like you, both offensively and defensively.

925
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 2: Of this team.

926
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 4: I love him and of course Nick Nurse probably the

927
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 4: league's best.

928
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 2: Coach right now.

929
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 4: And again I'm not just saying that because of Viperberly.

930
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 4: I just think his willingness to try things, He'll never

931
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 4: get stuck in the muddle on a strategy. He's willing

932
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 4: to change on the fly. He's his adjustments are second

933
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 4: to none, and he's shown it throughout the course of

934
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 4: a championship run. And then he came back this season

935
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 4: and added more adjusted adjustments, for instance, letting God shoot threes,

936
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 4: letting team shoot threes, but letting them shoot the rate threes.

937
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 4: I just think the Raptors as far as dark horses

938
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 4: to get to the championship, specifically in the Eastern Conference.

939
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 2: Man, I love the Raptors.

940
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 5: Let me just interject here with a call we always

941
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 5: make in this moment.

942
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 4: Was home.

943
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: He's right, He's not just lead it all out there.

944
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 1: The reasons why they should be considered a dark horse

945
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: title contender too.

946
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been saying all season. I think when the

947
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 5: Raptors are at full strength, I think they're as good

948
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 5: as anyone in the Eastern Conference. I think the Bucks

949
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 5: are the favorite, and they deserve to be, but I

950
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 5: don't think the Raptors are scared of them. I don't

951
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 5: think the Raptors are scared of the Celtics, you know,

952
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 5: like any team, and even you know, I always refer

953
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 5: to how Greg Popovich, one of the greatest coaches, maybe

954
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 5: the greatest ever. He always says, you just need a

955
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 5: little bit of luck still in the playoffs, and that's

956
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 5: you know, That's the thing with the Raptors is if

957
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 5: they get to that right spot and they get to

958
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 5: a position where, hey, they can they can sense that

959
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 5: they can take down one of those big teams, I

960
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 5: have no doubt that they could do it. And if

961
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 5: these other teams on paper look a little bit more intimidating,

962
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 5: you know, some younger guys, some more athletic guys, but

963
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,240
Speaker 5: the Raptors have been there, their experience, they're deep, they're

964
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 5: very well coached by Nick Nurse. As was saying there,

965
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 5: they just had it and even with all the injuries

966
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 5: they battled this season, they still had themselves. What third

967
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 5: when the when the second are they? Yeah? When they

968
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 5: when the suspension the suspension came. So yeah, I think

969
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 5: I think the Raptors are somehow a dark horse in

970
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 5: the Eastern Conference.

971
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you said you said deep there. Uh, you

972
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: guys talked about their depth, and I think that's the

973
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 1: most fascinating part, right, Like I've heard many other I

974
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: think I just heard Eric Kreen on Zach Lowe's podcast

975
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: talking with this idea of like the Raptors are never

976
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: gonna have the best player probably in a series. Like

977
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: they're not. I mean, and as much as I love

978
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Lowry and and Siakam and all that, and like

979
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: all star level guys, don't get me wrong, but they're

980
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: gonna be maybe better players on the other side that

981
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: they're playing. But okay, that's the star at the top.

982
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: Try and control me. Another team that from you know,

983
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: three through nine, three through ten, even on the roster,

984
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: that can match the Raptors' depths. I don't think there's

985
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: anyone that even really comes all that close, I actually think.

986
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: But so that's good, But then what do we always say,

987
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: and I think there is some truth to it. I mean,

988
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: the team that has the best player can go on

989
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: to generally win the series. Because when it's you know,

990
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: nutcrunching time, you know you gotta need to get a

991
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: big bucket. You got to go to your star and

992
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: Ken Siakam do what Kawhi Leonard did, or can Lowry

993
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: do what Kawhi Leonard did. I that's where my hesitance

994
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: comes in, even as a Raptors fan. And as much

995
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: as I love this team and the coach like you

996
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 1: said and all that and the chip on their shoulder,

997
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: I love all that, but who's just going to be

998
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: the guy in a one point game to get them

999
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 1: the bucket? Or can you do it as a team?

1000
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1001
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: It remains to me. Seeing Tess, what do you think?

1002
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, dark Horse, I think it is a fine

1003
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 3: name for them, even though it's crazy because they're the

1004
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 3: second seed. But I think because they got to the

1005
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 3: second seed and sort of and sort of overreached people's expectations,

1006
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 3: I think we're forgetting that Kawhi Leonard's not there and so,

1007
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 3: like you just said, Skeets and was talking about their

1008
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 3: defensive versatility yeah, but Kawhi Leonard was so key and

1009
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 3: going on to Jannastetakoupo being a big part of stopping

1010
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 3: the Sixers and Embiid and Simmons and and so yeah,

1011
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 3: they just got by the Sixers and then they somehow

1012
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 3: turned it and that luck happened last year, like Lee mentioned.

1013
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 3: But I just it's just it's it's gonna be tough

1014
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 3: on the on the offensive end, I think. But hey man,

1015
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 3: maybe Siakam can impress. I think that two three series,

1016
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 3: if we get it with the Celtics and the and

1017
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 3: the Raptors, Uh, is gonna be awesome because it's I

1018
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 3: think it's like fairly equal up and down the rosters.

1019
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 3: But you know, I think the Bucks would obviously they're

1020
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 3: the favorite, but the Bucks I think would contend and say,

1021
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 3: hey we're pretty good three through ten as well. But

1022
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 3: you know, it's gonna be a battle. It's gonna be

1023
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 3: a battle. It's it's yeah, like Yannis, I know, is

1024
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 3: Uh thinking the exact same thing as Walls was talking

1025
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 3: about the Raptors coming into this, and they're gonna be relentless,

1026
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 3: They're gonna be hard, they're gonna they're gonna come out

1027
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 3: because he's honest. He doesn't take days off and the

1028
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 3: break really helped him because he wasn't one hundred percent.

1029
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 3: So listen, if we get that series, it's gonna be fun.

1030
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 3: But I don't know who's taking the raptors, even on

1031
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 3: this Homer podcast, I don't know who.

1032
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: Well, what about the Western Conference was? I mean again, Clippers, Lakers?

1033
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: Can you convince yourself? Can you talk yourself into any

1034
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: other team as a dark horse title contenter? You're shaking

1035
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: your out.

1036
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 2: No, no, no.

1037
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 4: I've seen I've seen the Rockets murmurs because of the

1038
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 4: high variance of the three point shooting, and they could

1039
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 4: get hot, and they had the little stretch where they were,

1040
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 4: you know, they put a winning streak together and they

1041
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 4: look like a good team.

1042
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,479
Speaker 2: It's just like the thing about that stretch that they had.

1043
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,919
Speaker 4: If people were watching those games, they were winning those

1044
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 4: games on defense. They were playing defense like white Woldes

1045
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 4: from Duke right, slapping the floor like it was high

1046
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 4: intensity and to end defense from five guys playing on

1047
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 4: the string because they realized if they did not do that,

1048
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 4: they would get embarrassed.

1049
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 2: There's no way for.

1050
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 4: Them to come out and play some sort of base

1051
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 4: set defense and just let things happen. They had to

1052
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,439
Speaker 4: be aggressive to have a competent defense, and they knew

1053
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,719
Speaker 4: that because they were playing this, you know, ultra the

1054
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 4: tiniest lineup in NBA history, right. But I think in

1055
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 4: a playoff setting where teams get to pick the weak

1056
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 4: points of that defense, which of which there are plenty

1057
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 4: when you talk about James Harden and Russell Westbrook led defenses,

1058
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 4: they're gonna get figured out. People are gonna shread that

1059
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 4: team to pieces. And I think offensively, they're gonna be

1060
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,479
Speaker 4: easy to figure out. Right, it's basically spread it out,

1061
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 4: let let russ and hard and ice. So I think

1062
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 4: teams are gonna figure it out matchup wise how to

1063
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 4: neutralize that, and defensively they're gonna find the weak points

1064
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 4: to soft spots and beat those guys up. Denver, No,

1065
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 4: thank you. Like as much as I'm somebody who I

1066
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 4: definitely was late to the joke its party, I was

1067
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 4: a strict non believer specifically.

1068
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 2: Just just you know, just defensively, I'm just like.

1069
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 4: This dude is so damn slow and he can't jump right.

1070
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 4: It's it's the combination of the two things. It's like

1071
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,800
Speaker 4: all right, like you're you're not gonna move your feet

1072
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 4: and when you are there, like, it's not like you're

1073
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 4: gonna give some fantastic contests like old school Roy Hibbert, right.

1074
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 4: And so I was very apprehensive to join the Jokes train.

1075
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 4: But you know, as I start watching him more and

1076
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 4: more on his his genius level passing, and you know,

1077
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 4: my favorite thing about Jokes quite frankly, is one on one,

1078
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 4: he's gonna put you underneath the basket.

1079
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: Yep.

1080
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 4: When he packs pretty much anybody down, like you can't

1081
00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 4: put a switch on him. He's slamming his body into

1082
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 4: you and he's and he's moving you no matter.

1083
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 2: Who you are.

1084
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 4: And that's when I sort of be gained a certain level.

1085
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 4: I'm like, man and crunch time, you can't put one

1086
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 4: on the ball, and when you send two, he's gonna

1087
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 4: find the open guy.

1088
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 2: That's an incredible weapon.

1089
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 4: And so as much as I've come to love and

1090
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 4: enjoyed Jokic as a player, uh, I just think the

1091
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 4: surrounding parts like, uh, you know.

1092
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 2: Sorry, Murray, No, he just wanted me this season.

1093
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 4: I was expecting him to come out and be a

1094
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 4: bona fide All Star player, maybe a Kyrie Light if

1095
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 4: you will right, a guy is gonna kill you off

1096
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 4: of the dribble, on the pull ups capacity enough that

1097
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 4: you know you didn't guard him as if he had

1098
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 4: blinders on and would just kill you in pick and roll.

1099
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,399
Speaker 4: He just hasn't done that. He was hesitant to take

1100
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 4: threes this year. He just didn't show me the player

1101
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 4: that I thought he was gonna be in. So there,

1102
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 4: I'm like, and Gary Harris, forget about it. This guy

1103
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 4: fell off of a freaking this season. I'm just a

1104
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 4: non believer in what they can bring them to the table.

1105
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 4: And I happen to be in Los Angeles. I've watched

1106
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 4: the Lakers and Clippers all year. They're the best two teams.

1107
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 2: In the conference. Just straight up and down, There's no

1108
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 2: two ways about it.

1109
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think my favorite dark horse team I've seen

1110
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: thrown out there is from Ethan Sherwood Strauss point of contention.

1111
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 1: You can hear it on the Athletic NBA Show later

1112
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 1: this week. He's back in the Thunder as a wild

1113
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: card pick Lee. I know you were high on the

1114
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 1: Thunder pre quarantine. You were like, you were calling that

1115
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: the Thunder were gonna beat the Rockets. If if I

1116
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: remember it correctly, it's a long time ago. Yeah, so

1117
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: ess right there with you, like the thunder shock in

1118
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 1: the world. I think he laid some coin on them,

1119
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: maybe one hundred to one odds if.

1120
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 5: I remember correct Oh wow, Well yeah, I don't know

1121
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 5: if i'd start lang coin on them. But it's more

1122
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 5: the story that I think Chris pol really showed this season.

1123
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 5: He's almost bet out. When he doesn't have those superstars

1124
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 5: around him, he's almost better as like if he can

1125
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,919
Speaker 5: just sort of raise those guys around him to become

1126
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 5: better players like Shay just Aleexander, who was a good player,

1127
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,919
Speaker 5: but I think he really benefited from playing from someone

1128
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 5: experienced like Chris Paul Steven Adams. You know, he's a

1129
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 5: very reliable player. He doesn't do all that much offensively,

1130
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 5: but he knows what to do, set screen, run to

1131
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 5: the rim, get those balls and dunk it, and defensively

1132
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,879
Speaker 5: play very well. So I like the pieces coming together.

1133
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 5: I think Billy Donovan did a fantastic job coaching them

1134
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 5: this season. It took him a couple of weeks to

1135
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 5: get things going, but once Chris Paul once it was

1136
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 5: pretty clear that like let Chris Paul sort of call

1137
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 5: the shots on this team, and they can be a

1138
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 5: good team. It's like when Chris Paul was in his

1139
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 5: early days there in New Orleans, you know, like I

1140
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 5: know he had David West and Sayakovic good He's exactly,

1141
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 5: He's just better when no one is really contesting whose

1142
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:39,919
Speaker 5: team it is. And I think we saw a little

1143
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 5: bit of that with the Clippers with Blake Griffin and

1144
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 5: a little bit of that with James Harden. And James

1145
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 5: Harden doesn't have a great reputation of playing with superstars himself,

1146
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 5: so now Chris Paul is almost like, you know what,

1147
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 5: Chris paul'st the end of his career, the Thunder and

1148
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 5: no chance, and he almost thrived on that situation more

1149
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,240
Speaker 5: so because it was like, Hey, I'm still a good player.

1150
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:57,959
Speaker 5: I don't need to go out there and get twenty

1151
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 5: five points a night. He can only do I think

1152
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 5: he's only the everyge like seventeen eight or nine assists

1153
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 5: a game, but he's controlling the pace, he's controlling the tempo,

1154
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 5: and then he's also hitting the big shots when they

1155
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 5: need in the fourth quarter. They're very good team the

1156
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 5: Thunder in close situations. Yeah, and again, I think that's

1157
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 5: largely to do with Chris Paul and his ability to

1158
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 5: sort of make the right play and make the right decision,

1159
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 5: which has been something that has cost him in the playoffs.

1160
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,839
Speaker 5: So you know, it's a bit of a conundrum there.

1161
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 5: But I love, I just love the way they played

1162
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 5: this year. I don't think they could beat the Lakers

1163
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 5: or the Clippers, but I do think they could beat

1164
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 5: the Jazz, the Thunder.

1165
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: You could see the Thunder beating any other team in

1166
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 1: all exactly, Yes, the Seventh Series, Jazz, the Nuggets, and

1167
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: the Rockets.

1168
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 5: I think they're better than those teams. So I just

1169
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 5: don't think they've got quite enough to get past the

1170
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 5: Lakers and all the Clippers.

1171
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,320
Speaker 1: All right, all right, well we got more questions for

1172
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: Big Wise here, big bubble questions. But before we do,

1173
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: quick word from our sponsor, before we you know, turn

1174
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: on the makes here. Wise, you were saying you had

1175
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,240
Speaker 1: just gone to a social distance I should say birthday party,

1176
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: like a picnic, an out door thing, and you said

1177
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,919
Speaker 1: it was as hot as balls because you're in the valley.

1178
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, a hundred degrees literally Jesus.

1179
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: Now my question is, did you were you rocking the

1180
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 1: Hawthorne deodorant. You know, maybe you came back after jumped

1181
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: in the shower, was using the body wash. Did it?

1182
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: Did the products help you deal with the heat?

1183
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:26,240
Speaker 4: Of course, the exfoliating body wash is my favorite, probably

1184
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,399
Speaker 4: my favorite product that they sent me outside of.

1185
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 2: The Play cologne. Not that I don't like the work

1186
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 2: coloone because but the Play Cologne. Really I'm like.

1187
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 4: Okay, they got the message. And all I did was

1188
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 4: fill out a survey less than two minutes. But it's

1189
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 4: a very detailed survey. And so, you know, you tell

1190
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,359
Speaker 4: them what do you look for in a soap? I said,

1191
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 4: I like the exfoliation, so they sent that to me.

1192
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 4: What do you look for in a shampoo? What do

1193
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 4: you look for in a conditioner? You know, they basically

1194
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 4: tailor make custom fit each product that they sent to

1195
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,879
Speaker 4: you based on, you know, the questionnaire that you filled out.

1196
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna lie. I have been loving it.

1197
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I also had never put that much

1198
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,280
Speaker 1: thought ever into any of these products I'd ever used before,

1199
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like this quiz, You're right,

00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:28,600

1261
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: Was you're in theory or an NBA player, or you're

1262
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 1: on a staff, you're in the bubble, what is Waz's

1263
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: go to bubble activity? Because we've seen a lot of

1264
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: these players fishing, playing cornhole or bag or whatever you

1265
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: want to call it. What would what would be your

1266
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: one go to activity that you were like, yep, that's

1267
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: what I'm doing.

1268
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 4: So I can see so as somebody who works from home,

1269
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 4: I couldn't like being in the house all day is

1270
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 4: something that I'm actually really used to, right, And so

1271
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 4: activities outside of exit like working out. It's not something

1272
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 4: that I generally think about. So I would probably find

1273
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 4: myself doing the same thing that I do at home anyway,

1274
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 4: which is watch YouTube all day and more specifically, I'm

1275
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 4: watching Munchies, I'm watching Bon Appetite, I'm watching a couple

1276
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 4: of the other.

1277
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 2: Food YouTubers, cause that's my main go to bag.

1278
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 4: Honestly, food YouTube is where I spend a majority of

1279
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 4: bulk of my time. You know, cats, like saying the

1280
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 4: Cooking Guy, there's this there's a Canadian cat named Kwan

1281
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 4: Tran who is great Vietnamese cat.

1282
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 2: He's incredible, He's hilarious and a lot.

1283
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 4: Of times you're not even watching it for the food

1284
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,439
Speaker 4: is these dudes are so hilarious characters, you know their characters,

1285
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 4: and so that's probably what I'd be doing. A lot

1286
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 4: of YouTube, a lot of Netflix, of course, HBO. I

1287
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 4: fancy myself as a mini you know, a baby, miniature

1288
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 4: amateur TV critic, So a lot of TV, you know, HBO,

1289
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 4: Max and Hulu being.

1290
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: So you were built for quarantined.

1291
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, I'm in the house all day every day.

1292
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 4: Is is That's what it is when you work from home.

1293
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 4: You don't go into an office. My office is the

1294
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 4: Staples Center Media Lounge whatever it happens to be games

1295
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 4: and even those you know, forty one times a year

1296
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 4: in the case of the Clippers, So you know, like.

1297
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 2: That's what I would be doing.

1298
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 4: I don't know that I'd be going fishing and doing

1299
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 4: all of that stuff. I probably partake in the playing

1300
00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 4: of cards and all of that, but a lot of

1301
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 4: YouTube would be being watched.

1302
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 1: Wow, all right, let me ask you this, though Trey

1303
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: would definitely ask you this, so I have to ask

1304
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: it on his behalf because I know he's a big

1305
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: Bone Appetite fan, and as amid my wife is, so

1306
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: I see it. It's on the TV all the time,

1307
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: it's on YouTube.

1308
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 2: Do you have a.

1309
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: Favorite you know, cook from the Bone Appetite world.

1310
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 4: So so it's like my kids, you know, like I

1311
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 4: can't just pick all the time. I do have caveites,

1312
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 4: but I would probably say my favorite is Carla because

1313
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 4: I was I was raised by a lot of women,

1314
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 4: and she reminds me of many of my aunts and

1315
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 4: my older cousins who are in my life like very assertive,

1316
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 4: you know, take no crap from anybody type of woman.

1317
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 2: So I identify with that, and I.

1318
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 4: Love Carla and I also I'm a fan of Molly

1319
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 4: because she presents as this dainty, blonde, you know, sort

1320
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 4: of attractive white woman, but she's really like a down

1321
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 4: home sort of tomboy, and she's like subverting your expectations

1322
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 4: of what that person would be like.

1323
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 2: So I'm really interested in Molly. Now. As far as

1324
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 2: the dudes, of course, I mess with Brad.

1325
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 4: He's of course, he's a Jersey cat, you know, trastate area, uh,

1326
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 4: you know, native white dude, which is you know, the

1327
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 4: type of cats that I went to high school with

1328
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 4: quite frankly, and so like Brad is somebody I feel

1329
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 4: like I know him personally, you know, And.

1330
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,959
Speaker 2: So I I love a Brad, but I love Andy too.

1331
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 2: I'm just a big fan. Of course, how could you not.

1332
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 4: Love Claire, uh, you know, very quirky, just great person

1333
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 4: like I loved the whole squad, and then I know

1334
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 4: there was the whole uh controversy that it was with Sola.

1335
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 2: Who is somebody who's new And I'm not gonna lie guys.

1336
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 4: You know, I talked to a bunch of my not

1337
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 4: a bunch I have, like the three friends that I

1338
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 4: talked to about Bone at Petite content and it.

1339
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 2: Was months ago, and I was like, look, I love

1340
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 2: this show, but they he's some black people on this thing.

1341
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 2: I mean, just give me one. God damn it, you know.

1342
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 4: And so there was something that I had been noticing,

1343
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 4: and you know, slowly they phasing people in it, slowly

1344
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 4: but surely.

1345
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 2: But I do love Sola as well.

1346
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't it. I think he's resigned if i'm

1347
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. The editor of the of the

1348
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 1: magazine Bone Apatite Magazine and sort of in charge of

1349
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: all of this, Adam Rappaport, Yeah he's uh he gone right,

1350
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: Yeah he was.

1351
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 2: And you know what's so funny is never liked seeing

1352
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 2: that dude on camera. Nobody liked him at once.

1353
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: Nobody liked him. You could tell all the people that

1354
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: were doing their own shows nobody liked him coming around.

1355
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 4: Canise, You're the boss that everybody hates.

1356
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 2: And so you know, I'm not gonna say I'm sorry.

1357
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 4: You never want to see anybody lose their job, but

1358
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna say I've been sorry to see him.

1359
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 4: I'm sure you got a great severance and he'll get

1360
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 4: another job somewhere else.

1361
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's fine, but I'm not.

1362
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 4: I can't say that I'm sad to see him go,

1363
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 4: but yeah, I'm I'm Bone Appetite is one of those things.

1364
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 4: As soon as I click on the YouTube interface and

1365
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 4: I see if Bone Appetitevidal, It's the first thing I'm

1366
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 4: clicking on, and I'm watching the whole thing through, no

1367
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:34,919
Speaker 4: matter whose show it is, what the video is, I'm

1368
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 4: just a huge fan.

1369
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, can you describe to me? Because I always see it,

1370
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: and I gotta be honest, I haven't watched one or

1371
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: something like that, but I see the wahs eats like

1372
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: I see these like, haha, I guess is it a

1373
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 1: little video or something?

1374
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 4: A little say, yeah, yeah, it's just me, Me and

1375
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 4: Jade Hoy who you guys know. We just decided when

1376
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 4: Quarantine started that we would have to start playing around

1377
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 4: with content. And I was like, you know, I watched

1378
01:02:57,480 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 4: enough food content on YouTube. I could do this thing

1379
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 4: and so and so what I did was I made

1380
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 4: a couple of videos where I made some food. I

1381
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 4: did a fried chicken sandwich, I made a cheeseburger.

1382
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 2: I think I was gonna make spaghetti and meatballs. The

1383
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 2: one day but we Yeah, one of the time was

1384
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 2: exactly I'm a Mario Batali. But but you know, we began.

1385
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 4: To dedicate way too much resources to it because like

1386
01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 4: video editing takes so much time and all of this stuff,

1387
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 4: and so we slowed it down.

1388
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 2: But it was just something to do.

1389
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 4: Back in March when Quarantine first started, it was just like,

1390
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 4: you know, we want to give people content.

1391
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 2: We're all home doing nothing anyway. So do you like cooking?

1392
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 1: It sounds like you like cooking.

1393
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I do. I do.

1394
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 4: I throw a podcast on. You know, I start chopping vegetables.

1395
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 4: I start and I've gotten to the point where I

1396
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 4: just start getting creative, y'all.

1397
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 2: I'm I'm making my own pasta recipes. I'm coming up

1398
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 2: with all kinds of crazy conconscience and sauces. And you know,

1399
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 2: I got a secret sauce in here.

1400
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 4: My girlfriend lasts at me all the time because I

1401
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 4: think it's like actually proprietary. But I got a secret

1402
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 4: sauce that you can put on chicken sandwiches and burgers.

1403
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 4: I'll hook you guys up with the recipe on the

1404
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 4: slid email it to you, But you gotta, you know,

1405
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 4: sign a non disclosures. Yeah, yeah, I do.

1406
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 2: I really do enjoy it.

1407
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 4: It's just something fun and it's always cool to learn something,

1408
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 4: to learn a new skill, and it's a way to

1409
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 4: be creative at the same time. You're exercising your brain

1410
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 4: in a way when you're coming up with stuff to

1411
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:34,760
Speaker 4: eat and and and you know, yeah, I just I

1412
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 4: have a lot of fun with it.

1413
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 1: Are you dabbling at all in Armenian cuisine because your

1414
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:40,280
Speaker 1: girlfriend is Armenia?

1415
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 4: No, I have not started that yet much level, but

1416
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 4: I will tackle it at some point. I don't think

1417
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 4: it's anything that's beyond my capabilities anyway, especially especially not

1418
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 4: the barbecue.

1419
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,439
Speaker 2: Let's face the un some shicken throat on these hills,

1420
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And you got Armenian barbecue.

1421
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 2: I don't worry. I'm gonna get to that as soon

1422
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 2: as I I.

1423
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Love this. I love about you. First off, know about

1424
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 1: bonap and sit and now I love to know that

1425
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 1: you're a big, big chef in the kitchen there. What

1426
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: about you task? What would be your go to bubble activity?

1427
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: If you were there, I'd.

1428
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 3: Probably be breaking all the rules and playing NBA jam

1429
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 3: And I mean breaking the rules because we would not

1430
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 3: be social distancing whatsoever.

1431
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:25,439
Speaker 1: By playing four player NBA Jam.

1432
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 3: Well, even if it's one on one, I mean, it's

1433
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 3: you're not social distance. And then there's the videos coming through.

1434
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 3: If guys playing corn hole down there and they're right

1435
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 3: beside each other, it's outdoors, all good, But I'd be

1436
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 3: kicking up NBA Jam with all this talk we had

1437
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 3: Rayon Ali the NBA Jam book right on our show recently. Yeah,

1438
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:47,440
Speaker 3: I'm I'm I'm into it mentally, I'd be video gaming it,

1439
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 3: and that's something I don't do at home that I

1440
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 3: always want to do. I'm not like Wise, I haven't.

1441
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 3: I haven't been bold enough to pick up new hobbies,

1442
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 3: many new hobbies during the quarantine, you know what I mean.

1443
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 3: So picking up a new old Harby the video game,

1444
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 3: and that would be good.

1445
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 2: All right?

1446
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:05,440
Speaker 1: What about you Lee, same question, what's your go to

1447
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: bubble activity?

1448
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:08,920
Speaker 5: Well, I haven't seen it actually if they have it

1449
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 5: in the quarantine bubble there, But if they had darts,

1450
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 5: I think darts is actually a good game to play

1451
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 5: that's socially distanceable too, because all you need to have

1452
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 5: is say two or three dart boards spread out a

1453
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 5: little bit, bring your own darts, then you can just play.

1454
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 5: You don't actually need to play on the same dart board.

1455
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,320
Speaker 5: So you know what it's like, skizy when you're down there,

1456
01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 5: you're playing the track, you're right, yeah, under these circumstances

1457
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 5: like all right, you just throw on your dartboard, I'll

1458
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 5: throw on mine, and you're playing a bit of five

1459
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 5: and one.

1460
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 2: Now.

1461
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 5: The only thing is you do need to have a

1462
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 5: beer when you're playing darts. That's the only way to play.

1463
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: So well, that's fine. And we've seen guys crushing bud

1464
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 1: lights down there.

1465
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I don't call those beers. So do you

1466
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 5: want to have a classy beer, a nice beer, an

1467
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 5: enjoyable beer? You want to make it fun?

1468
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 1: You're so hoity tony something I am.

1469
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 5: I'm very houghty toty at times, It's true, but I

1470
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 5: don't think not drinking bud light makes me hoity toity though.

1471
01:06:54,760 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 1: I think it's okay fair.

1472
01:06:57,040 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 2: I have been.

1473
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 1: I have been pleasantly surprised, and maybe I shouldn't have

1474
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 1: doubted them, because these guys are all, for the most part,

1475
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 1: are like just fun loving guys, and they're obviously paid

1476
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: millions to play basketball, so why wouldn't they be a

1477
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 1: good mood if they can pull this off safely. They

1478
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: seem everybody seems to be enjoying so far. They haven't

1479
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: been there that long. I think got something to keep

1480
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 1: in mind, but this bubble life, this campus environment, these

1481
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 1: the fishing activities that they can do, whatever, these games

1482
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: they can play, the ping pong can going on in

1483
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 1: all the video games and stuff like that, Like, am

1484
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 1: I wrong? Was like, that's my impression from at least

1485
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: what we see from a lot of the guys players

1486
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: social media, you know, be it YouTube channels or Twitter

1487
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 1: accounts or instagrams, like sort of having fun right now,

1488
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: I guess being around each other again, right yeah.

1489
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 4: And that was the kind of takeaway that I had

1490
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 4: from this weekend, was like, man, these guys have figured out,

1491
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 4: like all right, we got to make the best of this.

1492
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 2: I know.

1493
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 4: There was some hand ringing on Twitter like oh, it's

1494
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 4: it's such a bad look for millionaires to be complaining

1495
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 4: about food being prepared. But I'm like, if you call

1496
01:07:57,200 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 4: that food being prepared, I'm sorry. You don't know anything

1497
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 4: about immigrant families, my boy.

1498
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 2: They don't eat like that at home.

1499
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 4: That's a Walt Disney production of terrible food that is

1500
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 4: not a reflection of the workers whatsoever. I promise you

1501
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 4: they eat much better at their cribs. But and you

1502
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 4: know whatever, that was content for people to run with

1503
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 4: over the weekend.

1504
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, I.

1505
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:22,880
Speaker 4: Think you can see it like guys hanging out, making

1506
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 4: the best of the situation. Because again, I think everybody's

1507
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:29,640
Speaker 4: united in the cause of getting to the bag. You know,

1508
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 4: like everybody understands what's at stake. And I think that's

1509
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:37,599
Speaker 4: why you saw the players union and the owners come

1510
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:42,880
Speaker 4: to a deal so quickly. Their interests are lined. You know,

1511
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,519
Speaker 4: the owners want this money, the players want this money.

1512
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 2: And it's like, guys, let's do what we have to

1513
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 2: do for a little bit over two months.

1514
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 4: Secure the future of our families in the process with

1515
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 4: this money and and and you know, let's just make

1516
01:08:59,000 --> 01:08:59,640
Speaker 4: the best of it.

1517
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:01,879
Speaker 2: And let's face it, man, Like these.

1518
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 4: Guys they're old enough to understand, like what's important in life, right,

1519
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 4: It's like, we get to play basketball.

1520
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 2: For a living.

1521
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:13,559
Speaker 4: We have this hardship and you know, I put quotation

1522
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:18,520
Speaker 4: marks up around hardship for two months, I think, Andredala

1523
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,680
Speaker 4: came out and said, look, man, I grew up poor man.

1524
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 2: This ain't no hardtry, all right, you know, like these

1525
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 2: ain't tough conditions. We'll figure this out. We'll make this work.

1526
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 2: And I think they're gonna make it fun.

1527
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 4: They're gonna make it compelling, and we're gonna enjoy it

1528
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 4: from our house.

1529
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta say I've I haven't seen this much

1530
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 1: fishing content since the summer of twenty ten when I

1531
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 1: found Bill who Bill Dance was, and his fishing bloopers online,

1532
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 1: because like, I can't believe how many of these guys

1533
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 1: are up fishing and like having a blast by the

1534
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: looks of it. Although I can't stop watching the Ben

1535
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 1: Simmons clip or he throws the fish back into the

1536
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: water and it like donks off the deck or whatever

1537
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 1: the dock and goes. I had that on loop. I

1538
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 1: just kept his facial reactions hilarious when he throws the

1539
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 1: fish is hilarious. The way it hits the hits the

1540
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 1: deck and goes in his las. But yeah, they seem

1541
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 1: to be having fun, but like it's also a weird

1542
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,839
Speaker 1: fishing environment, right, It's like just this artificial I assume

1543
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: lake or pond or whatever the hell it is where

1544
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:18,840
Speaker 1: they just dump a bunch of fish in so you

1545
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: can go catch it easily. But whatever, something to do.

1546
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 1: It's incredible, all right. A couple more questions here than

1547
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: we'll let was Goat's I always forget how early it

1548
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: is on the West Coast. We got wahs up early

1549
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:30,360
Speaker 1: for this. Appreciate it man. We did a huge Disney

1550
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: draft squad episode was where we were drafting Disney characters.

1551
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 1: So I thought it'd be funny to ask you if

1552
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 1: you were forced to play two on two hoops. You're

1553
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 1: in the bubble and you get to pick one other

1554
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 1: Disney character as if they were real to be your

1555
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, to be the Sydney or the Billy to you.

1556
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:50,680
Speaker 1: I can never keep them apart. I can't remember who

1557
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 1: Woody Harrelson is he Billy or Sydney?

1558
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 2: I can't.

1559
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 1: I can't remember who is who? But anyway, who would

1560
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 1: you pick as your Disney character?

1561
01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 4: That's easy because when I was a kid, my favorite

1562
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,760
Speaker 4: Disney movie was Aladdin, okay, and my.

1563
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:05,719
Speaker 2: Favorite character was Princess Jasmine.

1564
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 4: And you can imagine why, and so she would be

1565
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 4: my partner because if even if I lose, I win,

1566
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 4: you understand, And so Princess Jasmine would be my partner

1567
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 4: in any two on two tournament because like, as a child,

1568
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 4: I was just.

1569
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 2: Like, this is the most beautiful cartoon woman I.

1570
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 4: Have ever seen in my life. And I watched Aladdin

1571
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 4: over I'm talking me. I was like seven to eight

1572
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:34,600
Speaker 4: years old. I watched this movie over and over, and

1573
01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 4: I watched The Little Mermaid and you know, Beauty and

1574
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:41,719
Speaker 4: the Beast and those protagonists were cool. They were cool,

1575
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 4: snow white, you know, they were cool. But there was

1576
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 4: just something about Jasmine. She was the greatest of all times, Tiff.

1577
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 3: And that's when you stopped. That's when you stopped collecting cards.

1578
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 2: Right exactly exact.

1579
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: Wow, what a wildcard pick going to somebody drafted jazz?

1580
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 1: Was that you Lee?

1581
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1582
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:04,600
Speaker 5: She was my point god and captain. I thought she

1583
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 5: was ready for the big challenge. Yeah. Good, good to

1584
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 5: know your on both day was.

1585
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: Did you also select her Lee because you thought you

1586
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 1: was very attractive.

1587
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 4: As young child?

1588
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: No, okay, it does happen, all right, Well back to

1589
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 1: the movies. Here, one more here, maybe one or two more.

1590
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: Was you said you're like you said you'd fire up YouTube.

1591
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,400
Speaker 1: You watch it sounds like you consume a lot of

1592
01:12:24,400 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 1: content via television shows, movies. If you had to take

1593
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: one movie with you to Orlando that you can only

1594
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:32,639
Speaker 1: watch on repeat, maybe it's Aladdin for crying out loud?

1595
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 1: What flick do you pick?

1596
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 2: Probably Anchorman?

1597
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:42,000
Speaker 4: Probably Anchorman, because I still I still get a kick

1598
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 4: out of that movie. Like I still laugh every time

1599
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 4: Ron Bergen he says, guys, I have a huge announcement

1600
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 4: to make Cannon, Like I still laugh at that. I

1601
01:12:54,400 --> 01:12:59,600
Speaker 4: still laugh at the fight scene. You know. Uh, Christina Applegate,

1602
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 4: who I grew up watching as Kelly Bundy am married

1603
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:07,559
Speaker 4: with children, another very integral part of my childhood, you.

1604
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 2: Know, formative years, y'all.

1605
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 4: So like she's one of my favorite parts of the movie. Like,

1606
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 4: I like Anchorman to this day, and it was one

1607
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 4: of those movies when I first got to college, me

1608
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 4: and my roommates in our suite, that was one of

1609
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 4: the DVDs that we had, so we watched that.

1610
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 2: Movie over and over and over and over again.

1611
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 4: And to this day when I watched it, I still

1612
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 4: get a kick out of it. And so it would

1613
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 4: probably be Anchorman.

1614
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 1: Wow, all right, Lee, what would you pick?

1615
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 2: Is it?

1616
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: Missus Delfire?

1617
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,760
Speaker 5: That's the obvious choice for me, of course, but I

1618
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 5: actually think I might get a little bit sick of

1619
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 5: it just watching it over and over and over again.

1620
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 5: So i'd get something that I can just watch no

1621
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 5: matter what, and that would be maybe Sure Shank Redemption

1622
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 5: and Glorious Bastards. Well, Godfather, you can get the whole

1623
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 5: Godfather's well, not the third one, Godfather one on two.

1624
01:13:57,160 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 5: You watch those ones.

1625
01:13:58,160 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 2: It was a third Godfather.

1626
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not really, not really Okay, Yeah, I think so.

1627
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 5: I think I'm in. You know, i'd love me.

1628
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 1: So you're always stopping when you see Shawshank Redemption of television,

1629
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 1: you always stop it. It was on the other night, I mean, surprise, surprise.

1630
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 1: I did watch it too. You're right.

1631
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's such a brilliant movie, such a great ending,

1632
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:16,720
Speaker 5: and it's just one of those ones when it's on

1633
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:18,839
Speaker 5: it's like, all right, whatever I was doing, I'm stopping

1634
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 5: now and I'm watching the rest of it.

1635
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 1: Okay, that's what you need here. If you're going to

1636
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:23,639
Speaker 1: be taking one movie, tass, you got something.

1637
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 3: No, but I just watched School of Rock last night.

1638
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:29,679
Speaker 3: Why not give me a little Jack Black in my life?

1639
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 3: It's a little wild Jack Black.

1640
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 1: What was it on TV or did you actually throw

1641
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 1: it on?

1642
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 3: No, it was on. It was on the old TV.

1643
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:40,640
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, that makes more sense. I was gonna say,

1644
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 1: you're just in a school of rock mood. You're just

1645
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 1: it's fine, it's fine. I don't know if i'd want

1646
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 1: to watch it over and over and over again, but hey,

1647
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 1: you do you all right? Final one here was we

1648
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: had some fun with this. We were tweeting it out

1649
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 1: last night. You know how many retweets would it take

1650
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 1: to get you to do a shotgun a bud light

1651
01:14:58,600 --> 01:14:59,720

1658
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 4: That's just that's basically stretching essentially, you know, like shotgun

1659
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:24,679
Speaker 4: and a beer.

1660
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:26,000

1684
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 4: open it the can, not like when you when you

1685
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 4: pull it, you just so that some air comes out,

1686
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:48,000

1689
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:57,880
Speaker 4: you fully open that thing, and then gravity just does

1690
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 4: the rest of the work. Fellas is is really nothing

1691

1699
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 1: What about the what about the car battery cans? You know,

1700
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:25,719
Speaker 1: the giant ones?

1701
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:27,880

1702
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 4: pounder back to back, but I'm pretty sure.

1703
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 2: I could do a pounder.

1704
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: It sounds like I could do the sixteen ounce. Yeah,

1705
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: all right, challenges have been thrown down. Anybody in the

1706
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 1: NBA media. I want to take on wash. So are

1707
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 1: you thinking you're like Meyer's Leonard like three seconds or less?

1708
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,840
Speaker 7: Basically, I think, oh my good, easily like this is

1709
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 7: I'm telling you, guys, this is something that I've had

1710
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,920
Speaker 7: an incredible amount of practice and and of course, and

1711
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 7: I tell people like at thirty three, I'm not half

1712
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 7: the man.

1713
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 4: I was at nineteen for sure. Sure, like there's no

1714
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:00,639
Speaker 4: doubt about it. I've definitely slowed down. But the reps,

1715
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, man, It's like it's sort of like,

1716
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 4: you know how Lebron can't jump over everybody anymore, but

1717
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 4: his mind is so in tune with the game, like

1718
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:10,879
Speaker 4: he's still.

1719
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 2: An incredibly effected player.

1720
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 4: Like I'm not two thousand and nine MVP Lebron, but

1721
01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 4: I'm still I still finish in the top five, I'm

1722
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 4: still in the conversation, like I'm still there.

1723
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 2: When it comes to this.

1724
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 3: I think what the shotgun video also has to be

1725
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:27,720
Speaker 3: as a tutorial for these NBA players because they're doing

1726
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 3: the horizontal moves. It's that's stupid. Yeah, you got a

1727
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 3: seven footer like Myers Leonard. Yeah, he's doing it. He's

1728
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 3: doing it the wrong way. Turn it up, right side

1729
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,840
Speaker 3: up and just sucking back. You're a seven footer, it's.

1730
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 2: Not a problem.

1731
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: Probably did all right. I mean, JJ's I was fast,

1732
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:47,640
Speaker 1: he was rusting, all right. I can't wait to see that.
