1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Welcome in What's Right with Nick Wright, Episode three twelve

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: on nc DOUBLEA Tournament, Day one. And so here's the thing.

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: If you're watching live right now, the games haven't tipped off.

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: Oh the dog just jumped on the couch. Look at

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Dexter in the back. They're just hanging out. So here's

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: here's the deal. We are. We're gonna bang, bang bang

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: through this show because I think, to be totally honest,

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: people are focused on the college basketball today and by happenstance,

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: by dumb luck, the TV shows only a half hour today,

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: which is good because first two days of the NCAA Tournament,

11
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 1: nobody's watching Sports TV. They're watching the actual games, so

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: that thirty minutes will be you know, for friends and

13
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: family only essentially. However, today's show, we have good stuff

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: for you. And something happened yesterday demonse that enraged me,

15
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: and probably not in the direction people would think that

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about it. So after we do Lakers,

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: Nuggets and some NBA from last night, we're going to

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: do that story. But first and foremost, here's what missed

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: the cut. Season two of Quarterback Joe Burrow Jared goff

20
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins It's gonna be a weird one. Burrow Amazing year,

21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: team stunk, Goff Amazing year, dog walked in round one,

22
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: and Cousins playing the role of Marcus Mariota from season

23
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: one of Quarterback as himself in season two of Quarterback,

24
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: the veteran quarterback who gets benched. So we're I'm interested

25
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: how it's gonna go. Jalen Milroe runs a four to

26
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: three seven. It is pro day if he gets drafted

27
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: higher than projected. He is the first Jalen Hurts quarterback,

28
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: meaning a guy who's like man and now Jalen was

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: a better passer in college. Jalen Hurts Dan Jalen Milroe,

30
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: but leader has some winning characteristics, tough, but questions as

31
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: a passer. That was Jalen Hurts. He slid to the

32
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: second round. Milrose projected to go second and third. Wonder

33
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: if he goes higher. Kyle Hamlinson had a take on

34
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: White Lotus. I am not equipped to discuss the last

35
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: White Lotus episode, he said, does anything ever happen in

36
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: White Lotus when people just watch and say watch it

37
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 1: to say next episode gonna be crazy? If you did

38
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: not think the last episode of White Lotus involved two

39
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: of the most bananas scenes in the last decade of

40
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: American television. I don't know what to tell you. I'm

41
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: not saying it's great TV. I like it, but people

42
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: can dislike it if they want. But there were two

43
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: scenes in White Lotus this past week. I've never seen

44
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: anything like it on television or in life. Also, the

45
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: Celtics just sold for six point one billion dollars to

46
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: Bill Chisholm. There that is the after shocks of the

47
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: Celtics going for six billion. Like you know that stupid

48
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: meme about the little tiny domino and then it goes

49
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: to the giant. It was like this led to this.

50
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: There is a version of that meme where the first

51
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: domino is the Celtics sale and the last domino is

52
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: a competing professional basketball league backed by foreign, mostly saudy

53
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: money that Lebron James is a piece of. I'm not

54
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: saying that's going to happen. What I am saying is

55
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: if the Celtics are worth six billion, if the franchise

56
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: fee for the expansion team Lebron wants is going to

57
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: be six billion, If that all happens and it just

58
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: gets too expensive, is there a world where what Lebron's partner,

59
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: Maverick at you know, has been kind of publicly flirting

60
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: with a competing league where Lebron's a part of that. Maybe.

61
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: But speaking of Lebron, he didn't play yesterday, did Jokic.

62
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: Seems like a totally fair fight under those circumstances. I

63
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: wonder who won Lakers, Nuggets, Demons take it away?

64
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so funny.

65
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: Luca actually came out and said that any team that

66
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 3: has Jokis is always going to be dangerous. But like

67
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 3: you just said, Jokich and Murray didn't play, so Luca

68
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: let them up. La Cruz to that w He's he's

69
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: looking really good. He's also had his six thirtieth point

70
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: game in a month of March. What do you think

71
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: about the Nuggets resting their guys again?

72
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: Though, so listen, Joker plays as much as anybody. Michael

73
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: Malone was correct that Jokers played I think the second

74
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: most games of any player in the last decade, So

75
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to kill him for it. I'm not

76
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: certain exactly why Jamal Mury, you know, Jamal Murray couldn't play.

77
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,559
Speaker 1: Maybe because Jamal Murray without Nikala Jokic. You know, doesn't

78
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: quite look like the Jamal Murray that a lot of

79
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: folks like to believe he can be. I I will

80
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: say this, the Nuggets are no longer a bad matchup

81
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: for the Lakers. The Lakers are a bad matchup for

82
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. And that's with or without Joker. And there's

83
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: multiple reasons for this. Uh. I understand Daniel, our producer,

84
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: saying Jamal was hurt last game two. I get it, man.

85
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: I'm the I'm not I'm I'm not accusing anyone of

86
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: anything I do. I does anybody think that if this

87
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: were a playoff game, Joe Kitchen Murray wouldn't play, wouldn't

88
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: have played, of course not. They're not that injured. But

89
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: that's totally fine. You want them to be rested and healthy.

90
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: You'd prefer it not happen on a national TV game.

91
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: You'd prefer it not have to happen in back to

92
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: back games. Uh. But it is what it is, so

93
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: to speak like, you deal with it, and you you know,

94
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: you move forward. I think a lot of people assumed

95
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: that the Nuggets, because they rested those guys or they

96
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: didn't play against the Warriors, that they would play in

97
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: the next game. But whatever, I'm not gonna kill him

98
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: for that. What I am gonna talk about is if

99
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: this is a playoff matchup, it favors the Lakers heavily,

100
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: because here is the thing. The Lakers scored one twenty

101
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: last night, could have scored one forty. And I said

102
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: it on the TV show. I will say it again

103
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: with this question. In the playoffs, if you get Lakers Nuggets,

104
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: if Aaron Gordon is primarily matched up on Lebron, who

105
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: is guarding Luca? They tried some Peyton Watson last night?

106
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: How that work? Luca had twenty before you turn the

107
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: game on and okay, no, no, no, Aaron Gordon's gonna guard Luca?

108
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: Then who is guarding Lebron? It ain't Michael Porter Junior

109
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: in a bad back. It ain't Russell Westbrook. It certainly

110
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: ain't Christian Brown. Who are we talking about? Con car

111
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: He ain't doing it. Gonna dust off Dario Sarich, he

112
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: ain't doing it. It's certainly not the two guys who

113
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: were missing last night and Joe Kitchen Murray. The Nuggets

114
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: are bad defensive team at this point, and having Yo

115
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: Kitchen Murray out doesn't hurt their defense and the Lakers

116
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: scored at will without Lebron. Now, the Lakers, I think

117
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: are going to actually end up being the best offense

118
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 1: in the league. And you're starting to see it where

119
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: they are generating so many great looks from three, so

120
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: many wide open threes, and that's without Lebron on the court.

121
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing about the Lakers Nuggets matchup.

122
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: The best thing the Nuggets had going for them in

123
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: these playoff matchups is Joker, no question. The second best

124
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: thing they had going for him was D'Angelo Russell minutes.

125
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: And the third best thing they had going for him

126
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: was Darvin Ham's coaching, which is why there was nobody

127
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: that was a bigger Darvin Ham defender than Michael Malone.

128
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: Michael Malone out there defending Darvin Ham, like Darvin Ham

129
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: owes him money and he needs him to stay employed

130
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: to get it. He's like, this is unfair that guy

131
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: took him to the conference final. This is an outrage

132
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: and Michael Malone, now of a sudden, Lakers got real coach.

133
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: And by the way, are we done with that demands?

134
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: I haven't checked the scoreboard. Is JJ Reddick now just

135
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: Lakers head coach? Or is he still you know Lebron's

136
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: podcast buddy, or now that everybody knows he's a great coach,

137
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: or we just saying no, he's a Lakers head coach,

138
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: because I know if he wasn't a great coach, it

139
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: would be Lebron's podcast Buddy. It'd be like I'm I

140
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: just again, I'm not seeing the exact rule right, and

141
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about the rules of any of this stuff.

142
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: What I do know is this Nuggets are in real,

143
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: real trouble and the Lakers are real, real dangerous.

144
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: You don't think the Lagants are just like resting their

145
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: guys strategically, like the same thing Golden State did with

146
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: Steph Curry.

147
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: I like, bigger.

148
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: I think that's a game they wanted to win. That

149
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: you're fighting for seeding. I I don't right now, the

150
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: Western armentge standings go like this, Oklahoma City has locked

151
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: the one seed. It's so bananas they they have locked

152
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: locked up the well, I guess technically they're their magic

153
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: number for locking up the one seed is one game

154
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: with fifteen or how however, man eat thirteen games remaining. Uh,

155
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: they have fifty seven wins. No one else in the

156
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: conference can get to fifty eight, So Oklahoma City's locked.

157
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: And then it gets interesting. The Rockets have twenty five losses,

158
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: the Lakers have twenty five losses, the Nuggets have twenty six,

159
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies have twenty seven, the Warriors have twenty nine,

160
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: Clippers thirty, Timberwolves thirty one. So four five six, I'm sorry,

161
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: two three four five two games apart, two three four

162
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: one loss apart, and I don't think the Nuggets would

163
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: give these games away. Say it again, it would be.

164
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 3: In their best interest being one game. I mean they

165
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: were tied before last night and then now Lakers.

166
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

167
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: And the other piece of it is because of last

168
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: With a win yesterday, they would have locked up the

169
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: season series three to one, which would have given them

170
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: the head to have ty breaker if they finished with

171
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: the same record. Now it's two to two, so I'm

172
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: not even sure what ty breaker it goes to. Now

173
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: the Nuggets do they get Portland next? Then Houston Chicago?

174
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: Like I'm just looking at their easy, tough games. I

175
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: think they When we went to Tankathon before and we

176
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: checked it, I thought the Nuggets were league average essentially

177
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: remaining strength, strength of schedule. They have a little tougher

178
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: than league average. They have the eleventh hardest strength of schedule,

179
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: left the Lakers by the way of the third hardest

180
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: strength of schedule, left Houston tenth hardest. I'm just doing

181
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: the teams fighting for this seed, Memphis seventh hardest, Golden

182
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: State with the easiest of the group with the eighteenth hardest.

183
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: So but here's the other piece of it. For the Lakers,

184
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: as I said the other day, you can now kind

185
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: of definitively say, even though they lost those first three

186
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: without Lebron, they have survived his injury. They I said,

187
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: if you missed ten games, going six and four would

188
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: be a great result. And six and four is now

189
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: very on the board. And I don't know that he's

190
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: gonna miss four more. But the Lakers are three and three.

191
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: Lost to Brooklyn, bad loss, lost to Milwaukee, lost to

192
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: Denver in what would have been an unbelievable win when

193
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: Denver had all its guys and Lakers without six of

194
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: their top eight. And then blew out Phoenix, blew out

195
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: San Antonio, blew out Denver. And now the next four

196
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: home for Milwaukee, Tonight home for Chicago at Orlando at Indiana.

197
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: Can you go three and one in those four you

198
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: should be able to even if Lebron's not back. And

199
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: that's the other piece of last night the blowout being awesome.

200
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: Luca only played thirty two minutes. Reeves probably played a

201
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: little more than he needed to, but so be it.

202
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 1: And so the Lakers are really well positioned. Houston keeps winning. Houston,

203
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: to their credit, has really taken advantage of the absolute

204
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: softest stretch of their schedule imaginable, and they have won

205
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: more soft game Friday against Miami. But their schedule during

206
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: this winning streak has been the following teams for Houston,

207
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: New Orleans, New Orleans, Orlando, Phoenix, Dallas, Chicago, Philly, Orlando.

208
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: So those are the worst, like some of the worst

209
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: teams in the league, plus Orlando, which has been really

210
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: bad for months, and Phoenix, which hates itself, and now

211
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: you have Miami, and then it gets way tougher for Houston.

212
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: So I because after Miami, Houston goes Denver, Atlanta, Utah, Phoenix,

213
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: Lakers Utah Oka see Golden State Clippers Lakers Denver. What

214
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: a final stretch for Houston final five games Oka see

215
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: Golden State Clippers Lakers Denver. I wonder what OKAC is

216
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: gonna do down the stretch because they will have locked

217
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: up the one seed and with the Calvs losing all

218
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: of a sudd and as of late, they will you know,

219
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in a good position for the number

220
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: one overall seed. But I expect Houston to drop back

221
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: and eying. The Lakers got a real shot at the two,

222
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: a real shot at the two, and so I you know,

223
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: I think and Daniel tells me LA is the tiebreaker

224
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: because they win win their division? Oh, the stupid divisions

225
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: or the next tiebreaker. Oh well, then last night's game

226
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: was even bigger for Denver because now if they finished

227
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: with the same record, Lakers have the tiebreaker. That's noteworthy.

228
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: That's really really noteworthy. All right, Ask what are the

229
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: follow ups here?

230
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: Pal, Well, who do you think needs to adjust more

231
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: when Lebron does come back, because you know, Lucas obviously

232
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: getting into a groove. So Lebron Luca, Oh, Lebron's Lebron.

233
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: Lebron can do more different things. Lebron can play so

234
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: many different ways, So it wouldn't make sense to ask

235
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: Luca to adjust because Lucas not going to be great

236
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: at other things. Lebron can be great at playing almost

237
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: any style of offensive basketball, so Lebron should and will

238
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: look like and so that to me is not even

239
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: a concern. And one of the benefits demanse to having

240
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: every single statistical record in NBA history already accomplished. You

241
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about your stats as much like

242
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: when you already have all the records, you already have

243
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: all the all nbas, all the points, all the all

244
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,479
Speaker 1: of that you can, you don't really have to necessarily

245
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: put that first and foremost in your mind. Now, I

246
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: will tell you this a sneaky stat that Lebron cares about.

247
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: That is such a silly one.

248
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: The double digit what oh well.

249
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: No, no, no, that one's not sneaky.

250
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: That one's definitive.

251
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: The thirteen hundred straight game of at least ten points.

252
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: But he doesn't have to try to get that one.

253
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: It's that he has averaged at least twenty five points

254
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: per game to the tenth of a point in every

255
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: single year of his career except for his rookie season,

256
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: twenty one straight years. And the reason I know he

257
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: cares about it is a few years ago, post ankle injury,

258
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: going into the final game of the year, he needed

259
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: a bucket. I think he knew the exact amount of

260
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: points he needed, and he needed a bucket late and

261
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: went and got it. So he finished that year averaging

262
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: twenty five point zero zero zero. Right now this moment,

263
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: Lebron has played fifty eight games and has scored one

264
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: thy four hundred and fifty points. So let's just do

265
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: the math on that. Fourteen point fifty divided by fifty eight,

266
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: that is twenty five point zero zero zero zero zero.

267
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: So here's the point I'm making. I do think Lebron

268
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: will want to make sure when he comes back he's

269
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: still getting twenty five at night. I haven't talked to him,

270
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: but I I think that is a sneaky one that

271
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: he would be annoyed if he missed it by a

272
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: couple one hundredths of a point.

273
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 3: So yeah, but even with him having to make the

274
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: adjustments with Luca, like him getting twenty five points isn't

275
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: like a stretch, Like I don't think that's like it's

276
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 3: gonna be hard with his new role.

277
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: I actually think his scoring might go up with the

278
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: new role because I think I think his assists will

279
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: plummet and scoring go up a bit and rebounding go

280
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: up a lot. That's what I would anticipate is gonna

281
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: happen here, all right.

282
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: Go to the other side of it. Yeah, So.

283
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 3: Anthony Davis the Swears, Oh my gosh. Tim McMahon reported

284
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 3: that he wants Anthony Davis to play, but the team

285
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 3: doesn't want him to play right now. He said he

286
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 3: is steadfast in his determination to want to return this season,

287
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: maybe as soon as next week, despite the fact there

288
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: are people within the Mavericks organization that try to take

289
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: him out of it. Do you think Anthony Davis should

290
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: try to force the issue and play here?

291
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: If he's healthy, you should play. They're tied to the

292
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: City of Dallas. Yeah, get listen, they're tied for the

293
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: tenth seed like they and the team they're tied with, Phoenix,

294
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: is an open revolt. I know they've won a couple

295
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: in a row. But you can make the play in

296
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: and if you have a health even as injured as

297
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: they are. If you have a healthy Anthony Davis, you're

298
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: live in the first playing game against the Kings, and

299
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: then you see what you are in the next playing game.

300
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: If you get there against either Golden State, the Clippers

301
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: or the Timberwolves, like you. You can't just napalm the

302
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: entire season like this. And I give Anthony Davis credit

303
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: for wanting to play. I give him the mint credit

304
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 1: to be totally honest for wanting to play. I think

305
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: it's the right thing to do, and I think it's

306
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,239
Speaker 1: I now, listen if he is not you know, if

307
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: they're like, ah, he really shouldn't play. He's not healthy,

308
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: but he could force that's different. But if he is

309
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: cleared by the doctors, you should let Anthony Davis play.

310
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: That trade what you say, I was saying, like, after

311
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 3: making that trade, I don't think you can mail it

312
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 3: in in any type of form or fashion whatever you

313
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 3: can possibly do, I think you should be going after

314
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 3: Like obviously the fans are in a bad state.

315
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, and like playoff games are fun and as

316
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 1: upset as the Dallas fans are, and they you know,

317
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: does rightfully so are they would get hyped up for

318
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: a play in game or you know the potentially like

319
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: that would be fun. And so you gotta if he's healthy,

320
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: you gotta let him play. The guy's played thirty minutes

321
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: for twenty five minutes for you since the trade yeah,

322
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: and so you gotta at least let the fans have something,

323
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: some type of hope for next year, like Anthony Davis

324
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: comes back and looks good something. All right, let's go

325
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: to the other Lakers stuff.

326
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

327
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 3: So since it was a blowout, Luca got a lot

328
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: of rest at the end of that Lakers game. So

329
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 3: now they got The Bucks just lost to a currulous Warriors.

330
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: Who would you have in that game tonight? So your

331
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: thing Doc had that meeting with Giannison Dane. I am

332
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: legitimately not just worried about the Bucks. I'm ready to

333
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: say the Bucks are done as a contender. I didn't

334
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: I had been holding on hope for them because of

335
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: how good Giannis is. But these are some bad losses, man.

336
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: The you know, the losing to Orlando would started this

337
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: five and seven, not being competitive against OKC, losing to

338
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: Golden State without Curry. The only time they've looked really good,

339
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, in the last couple of weeks was against

340
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: the Lakers, when Lucas still scored. What did Lucas score

341
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: in that game? Forty five? So that's so, yeah, Lucas

342
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: scored forty five and the Bucks still blew the Lakers out,

343
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: and so I the Bucks should win tonight. The Lakers

344
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: are on a back to back. The Lakers kind of

345
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: knew what they needed was a split with Milwaukee and Denver.

346
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: They got the benefit of Denver resting their guys. But

347
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: at this point, you can't be shocked any game the

348
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: Bucks lose because they just seem disjointed and they seem

349
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: like a team that cannot survive anything but an excellent

350
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: game from Yannis. So and I think this kind of

351
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: speaks to the situation the Bucks find themselves in. The

352
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: Lakers are on a back to back, Lebron is not playing,

353
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: the Bucks are desperate, and it's a three and a

354
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: half point line, So the Bucks should win. But the Bucks, Uh,

355
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: the Bucks right now are just an okay team with

356
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: an all time great player and.

357
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 2: Get back just driving to the cup. I'm shooting well.

358
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Yiannis has been unbelievable this year. I mean,

359
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: Giannis is like thirty a game on sixty percent, like

360
00:22:54,720 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: Janice's numbers this season, thirty twelve and on sixty percent

361
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: from the field. I mean, he really has been great.

362
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: The rest of the team just hasn't been there. It

363
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: would be a great win for the Lakers tonight, but

364
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: you've gotta you've gotta think that the Bucks get this one,

365
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: and then we get another update after tonight about Lebron's

366
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: health and the next time we're gonna see him. What's

367
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: your follow up here?

368
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: Uh yeah?

369
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 3: What do you think about Draymond saying that he's a

370
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 3: million percent as a case to win Defensive Player of

371
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 3: the Year after his performance against Milwaukee?

372
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: Listen, he was unbelievable against Giannis, and Draymond probably does

373
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: have a case for Defensive Player of the Year. Listen,

374
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: I have to segment, Mike dra I almost have to

375
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: segment my Draymond opinions into three buckets in my brain.

376
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: Bucket won is this. I think Draymond Green is one

377
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 1: of the greatest defensive players ever. I do think that

378
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: on the pre and post KD Warriors, Draymond, not Klay Thompson,

379
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: was the second most important player, and I don't really

380
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: think it's that arguable. I think he unlocked so many

381
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: things they could do. And and I also am on

382
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: the record from years ago that those defensive Player of

383
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: the Year awards Kawhi Leonard won. I think Draymond Green

384
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: should have won and so I think Draymond should have

385
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: three already, and I do think he is a legendary

386
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: all time defensive player. That's bucket one in my brain.

387
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: Bucket two of my brain is this, every single person

388
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: that I am tight with that has a personal, non

389
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: basketball relationship with Draymond Green talks about him like he

390
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: is one of the best dudes in the world, and

391
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: I have to give him credit for that. The third

392
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: bucket of my brain is that, man, oh man, he

393
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: just strikes me as a really bad guy. And the

394
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: Carl Anthony town stuff from this weekend I thought was outrageous.

395
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: I thought him, mister new media, And we don't as

396
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: the dog is back there and we don't need to

397
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: make this a social breakout clip or anything. But I

398
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: just want to get on the record on this, mister

399
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: new media, being like talking about one of the problems

400
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: with old media was not getting the real story going

401
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: with anonymous sources getting stuff wrong and then putting out

402
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: there are Carl Anthony Towns. You know, people are saying,

403
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: I'm hearing he was scared of playing Jimmy when Carl

404
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: missed the game because he was at a funeral. He's

405
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: then confronted with that for some reason, thinks he's above apologizing.

406
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: Baron Davis, who was on the other side of that conversation,

407
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: immediately apologized and then uses it a way to promote

408
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: the Draymond Green Show. And then when he does play

409
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: really well against Karl Anthony Towns and the Knicks over

410
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: the weekend, takes a victory lap about the whole interaction

411
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: when he was dead ass wrong. That's shitty, that's a

412
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: bad so like so like Draymond Green, one of the

413
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: greatest defensive players I've ever seen, and I actually think

414
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: should have more Defensive Players of the Year awards Draymond Green.

415
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: When it comes to Draymond Green, that's not an NBA

416
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: guy or a podcast host. Everyone I know that knows

417
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: him loves him and swears by him. Draymond Green the

418
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: basketball player slash basketball media guy. Just when I say

419
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: basketball player, I don't mean quality of player, but how

420
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: he acts on the court at times, and the way

421
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: he you know, talks about guys, all those things, does

422
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: all of the things I typically dislike in an athlete.

423
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: So it's a complicated thing.

424
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 3: And that that think that just happens not complicated at all,

425
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 3: Like that that thing with Karl Anthony Towns, the show

426
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 3: must go on.

427
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 2: This is the weirdest thing ever. In my opinion, I

428
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 2: didn't like.

429
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: It at all. I one thousand percent agree with you.

430
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: I totally agree. That is not a complicated thing. Draymond

431
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: was dead ass wrong, didn't want to admit to it,

432
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: and has a weird thing that not just he but

433
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 1: a lot of men have, which is saying my bad,

434
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: I was wrong is like a sign of weakness when

435
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: it's not. And so I totally agree to Monsey, that's

436
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: not a complicated thing. The point I'm making is squaring

437
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: how he appears to be when he's not almost playing

438
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: the character of Draymond Green with that. That's what's complicated.

439
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: It's easier when you know what I mean, Guys have

440
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: a consistent personality like oh, that dude's just a bad

441
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,479
Speaker 1: guy at all times, or or that guy's just and

442
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: so that's not the case here, and so that is

443
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: that kind of just is what it is, so to speak.

444
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: I there's also something that's not complicated, but it's going

445
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: to sound complicated, and it's what happened with Jackie Robinson yesterday,

446
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: and we will do that in a moment. But first.

447
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: When it comes to college basketball in March Mania, one

448
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: thing's for sure. Nothing is for sure. Upsets, buzzer beater

Speaker 1: a production note as well to our people. Once I

481
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: get into this, I want I want this to be

482
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: a standalone YouTube video and I want it to be

483
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: in full posted to our socials, and I am asking

484
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: the audience who's watching now, please do not get in

485
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: arguments in the comments about it. It's not worth your time.

486
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: I know that might be a fool's errand to ask,

487
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: but let people yell into the void because I need

488
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: to get something on the record here because and the

489
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: segment kind of starts now, folks are far too often

490
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: fighting on enemy ground and seeding the wrong territory. So

491
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a winding road, but follow me down. So,

492
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: once upon a time, I really thought that when I

493
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: was done with sports, I would go into politics. My

494
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: wife has since kind of convinced me she's not really

495
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: into that, doesn't think it would be fun to be

496
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: in that world. And as it turns out, you know,

497
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: my dear friend from high school, Quinton Lucas, beat me

498
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: to it as being the mayor of Kansas City. So

499
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: that's not even cool anymore. And if I wanted to

500
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: go for the very top of the top, it looks like, Hey,

501
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: would there ever be a sports guy who thought about

502
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: running for president? Well, it turns out I wouldn't be

503
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: the first to consider that either, So you know what

504
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't think I'm gonna run for office,

505
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: but what I might do one day is open a

506
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: consulting business that teaches folks how to frame and have arguments,

507
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: because far, far too often what happens is folks who

508
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: have my political leanings seed the ground on definitions and

509
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: meanings of things to intellectually dishonest charlatans, and then we

510
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: have arguments based on their terms. And that has happened,

511
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: and we just saw it happen in real time with DI.

512
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: So here is where we're at. Jackie Robinson, before he

513
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 1: broke the color barrier, was in the US military. There's

514
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: a story about him on the US government website. It

515
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: got deleted, it then was reposted, and DI was in

516
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: the url. Jeff Passing made a huge fuss about it.

517
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: Shout out to Jeff. They have since fixed it and

518
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: restored it. And this is what folks who are on

519
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: the first, the right side, the correct side of Jackie

520
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: Robinson have been saying. Calling Jackie Robinson a DEI hire

521
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: is insulted. And everyone who agrees with me politically was

522
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: saying that. And that's why we lose arguments because we

523
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: have just seated the ground that, oh, yeah, DEI is

524
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: bad diversity, equity and inclusion. What that means is people

525
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: who didn't deserve a job got one. And don't you

526
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: dare call Jackie Robinson DEI because he wasn't he deserved it.

527
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: But what people don't see is that's how the bad

528
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: actors win is by reframing definitions, because a DEI hire

529
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: is not someone who did not deserve the job, who

530
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: got it. That's just what they have claimed it is.

531
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 1: And now folks are like, you can't call Jackie Robinson

532
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: DEI hired some insulting guys in Major League Baseball. Jackie

533
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: Robinson was the definition of a DEA hire, and that's

534
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: why we need it. He was he awesome, Yes? Was

535
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: he deserving? Yes? Was he blocked because of his race? Yes?

536
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: And so it is not an insult. Now, this whole

537
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: thing it was department offenses, wasn't a DEI military, But

538
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: set it aside. It it is incumbent that we not

539
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: see ground and that we instead say, let's have the

540
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: actual argument. And the actual argument is the reason DEI

541
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: policies came to exist was not to elevate undeserving people.

542
00:36:55,360 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: It was to make sure deserving people of all colors, creeds, genders,

543
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 1: ethnicities had a shot. And the conversation that we should

544
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: be forcing is the following if we are going to

545
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 1: act like DEI is this awful buzzword that pre DEI

546
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 1: things were a meritocracy, true and clear, and that's how

547
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: it should be. Pick the industry, pick the data set,

548
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: and go out there and argue folks on the other

549
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: side that it was that when and I'll give you

550
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: the actual data that when fifty years ago five hundred

551
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: of five hundred fortune five hundred CEOs were white guys,

552
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: that was a meritocracy. And fifteen years ago, when four

553
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty of four hundred of fortune five hundred

554
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: CEOs were white guys, that was a meritocracy. And four

555
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: years ago when there were four black fortune five hundred CEOs,

556
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: that was actually when we were doing it all by merit.

557
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: And now that, thanks to the scourge of DEI, that

558
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: four has doubled in four years up to eight. That

559
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: you know what, all the white guys who got the

560
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: jobs deserved them. That was merit, and the black people

561
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: or women or whomever got them, they they were the undeserving.

562
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: If that's the argument, make them make it. When you

563
00:38:53,840 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: look at the United the our politicians, fun fact, how

564
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: many governors in US history have been black. The answer

565
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: to that question is five, kind of six, but one

566
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: during reconstruction. Would have been one more during reconstruction, but

567
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: that fella got, you know, died suddenly in his office

568
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: due to a suspicious poisoning. Can't quite figure out what

569
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: happened there. So four black governors since reconstruction? Was that

570
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: all merit was that? Listen it just as it happened?

571
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: Was never a good black gubernatorial candidate? What about this one?

572
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: Pre Barack Obama in Illinois in two thousand and five,

573
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: there had been around two thousand United States Senators in

574
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: our history pre two thousand and five. How many were black?

575
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:04,720
Speaker 1: Quick question? The answer to that is four, two during

576
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: reconstruction one hundred and sixty years ago or one hundred

577
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 1: and fifty years ago and two post reconstructions since Obama.

578
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: You add it all up, all of history, from the

579
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: start of the US Senate to right now this moment,

580
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: there have been fourteen black US Senators, eleven elected, three appointed.

581
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: So again, again, if your argument is when the numbers

582
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: were literally ninety eight to two white, guide to everyone else.

583
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: That's when we had a merit based system. And now

584
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: that the numbers are slightly going towards the actual demographics

585
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: of the country. That's all bullshit, you know, elevating undeserving people.

586
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,959
Speaker 1: Then make that argument, and folks who are saying aim

587
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 1: into what I'm saying. Make them make that argument. What

588
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: you can't do is let them is act offended when

589
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: when people are like, oh, you're calling Jackie Robinson a

590
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: DEI higher, Your goddamn right. He was a great example

591
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: of it of why it's an important They are important

592
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: policies because you had a guy as great at what

593
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 1: he did playing baseball as Jackie Robinson who was blocked

594
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: entirely because of his race, and then the DEI policies

595
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: of the day gave him a shot and it's like,

596
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: holy shit, this guy's awesome. That's the idea behind it.

597
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 1: And you're not going to win arguments if you only

598
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: have them on other people's terms. Stand firm and say,

599
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: here are the numbers. Here is how disproportionate in every industry,

600
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 1: in every position of power, in every political sphere, white

601
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: males are. Is that because, in your opinion, because they

602
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: are simply smarter, more equipped, savvier, all of it. If

603
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: that's what you believe, make them, If that's what they believe,

604
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: make them argue that if they won't say that's what

605
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: they believe, then ask them, so, how do we fix that?

606
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: What are the policies one would have to implement to

607
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: make sure we're actually getting the best in the brightest. Instead,

608
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 1: we've let them turn DEI into a slur, a buzzword,

609
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: a meaning it's synonymous for unqualified dufist that gets a

610
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 1: job and tar any black person or minority who has

611
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: a big time job as that. And so obviously the

612
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: asshole the Department of the Defense that took down Jackie

613
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: Robinson's page is everyone can agree that guy's the worst.

614
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: That's an easy conversation. A far more serious conversation is, yeah,

615
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:46,760
Speaker 1: Jackie Robinson in Major League Baseball was a DEI hire,

616
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: and that's why such policies need to exist, and that's

617
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: why we'll defend them. Or it's just the craziest coincidence

618
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: in the world. The all of the deserving people for

619
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: all of the big time jobs, the ones who actually

620
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: got it on merit, all of them just look like me.

621
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: I wonder how that one worked out. Hey, guys, got

622
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: another thing to tell you about my friends A DAYA

644
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: to the Calves a bit and then do some Viking

645
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 1: stuff and we'll get out of here.

646
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, So after winning sixteen straight games, the Calves

647
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 3: have now lost two back to backs or back to

648
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 3: back games. One of those games came to the Clippers,

649
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 3: team that doesn't even.

650
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 2: Have a coach.

651
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 3: How many more losses do the Calves need to take

652
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 3: before it's time to hit that alarm?

653
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: Well's And now it's it's three straight now, and that's

654
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: their first three game losing streak of the season. And

655
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: so here's the thing, Now, Donovan missed some time, but

656
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: you were seeing the Calves be a little creaky really

657
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: since the beginning of the month. So they had that

658
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: great win in Boston, but they were down twenty five

659
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: to three to start it. They then needed overtime to

660
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: beat Portland. They then had a squeaker and I think

661
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 1: it was a big comeback, not necessarily a big comeback

662
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: they but a squeaker against Miami. They then had a

663
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: one point win where they did have to rally to

664
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: come back to beat Charlotte. They then had again another

665
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: one where they needed a furious comeback to beat the Nets,

666
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: and now they've lost three straight to Orlando, the Clippers,

667
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: and Sacramento. Now some of that I'm sure is we've

668
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:05,240
Speaker 1: locked up the one seed. Essentially we're fine, and they're

669
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, they're only six up on Boston, but Boston

670
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: ain't catching them. They have thirteen games left and they

671
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: have a six game lead. So like, even if Boston

672
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: went undefeated the rest of the way, Demonse, the Calves

673
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: would only have to win seven games, and like, so

674
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 1: the Calves are going to be the one seed. Now

675
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 1: they might have squandered the number one overall seed, which

676
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: would matter if it's Calves Thunder in the finals. Here's

677
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 1: where I stand on the Calves. I think they have

678
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: the fourth best team, and maybe that seems unfair, But

679
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: the Thunder, the Celtics, and the Lakers, I would pick

680
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 1: all of them in a series against the Calves, and

681
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: I'd feel pretty good about it. And so that you

682
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean. That just it is what it is.

683
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 1: So I don't think the Calves, the Calves. You know,

684
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: a week ago we're flirting with seventy wins. That felt

685
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 1: a little rich, And now they're still gonna win. That

686
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: was so if they're fifty six and thirteen, let's say

687
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: they lose four more, that still still means they're gonna win.

688
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 1: Did I do the math wrong on how many games

689
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: they have they lose? That still would mean they win

690
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: sixty five games, which is an unbelievable season. But I

691
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: do think they're the fourth best team. All right, let's

692
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: talk to some NFL.

693
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 3: So, Minnesota is out on Aaron Rodgers. He got that

694
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 3: news and did not immediately retire. I know there were

695
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 3: talks of him potentially doing that. So the Giants and

696
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 3: the Steelers they're still looking out for him.

697
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:51,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's here?

698
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,280
Speaker 1: So where I stand on it, good job by the Vikings.

699
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: I listen. The Vikings, I think are gonna end up.

700
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: If they need an insurance policy, the insurance policy will

701
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: be Kirk Cousins, and I don't think it'll be Rogers.

702
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 1: I think that the Steelers need to give Aeron a deadline,

703
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: and I don't know that they have the temerity to

704
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: do it. But the analysis people had on the Steelers

705
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: why it might work as well. He's not going to

706
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: come in there and run the show like he did

707
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: with the Jets. Well, he certainly will if he sees

708
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: his power before he even gets there, by making them

709
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: wait the entirety of the offseason. And so I think

710
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: that the Giants should just go ahead and sign Russell Wilson.

711
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: I think the Steelers shouldn't give Aaron a deadline because

712
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: Aaron's going to end up with the Steelers. It seems

713
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: very clear Aaron is going to end up with the Steelers,

714
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: and they should re seize the power back or else

715
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna come in there and just do whatever the

716
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: hell he wants.

717
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 2: What's he thinking about, man.

718
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: He's thinking about what's best for Aaron. Rodgers that if

719
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't sign with Pittsburgh until after the draft, maybe

720
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: they are less likely to take a flyer on a

721
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: quarterback with their first round pick, and therefore I don't

722
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: have to worry about being supplanted at some point. That's

723
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: what I think. The only way he can impact their

724
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: draft is by making them.

725
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 3: Wait, screwing the team, oh, screwing the team over either way.

726
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: I just I don't know why teams want to be

727
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 1: in the Aaron Rodgers business at this point in time.

728
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: But that is a you know, that is a lot

729
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: people have heard me talk about that.

730
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 2: Enough.

731
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the NFL rule changes.

732
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, so some new NFL rule proposals. What's will be

733
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 3: voted on at the league meeting. So first off, we

734
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 3: got Detroit. They proposed changes the playoff seating and holding penalties.

735
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 3: Philly wants to bring the playoff overtime rules to the

736
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,720
Speaker 3: regular season, and green Bay officially proposed banning the Toush push.

737
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 3: You always said you've hated that play. Do you see

738
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 3: any of these passing or going through.

739
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: No, not right now. So here's the deal. At some

740
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: point the NFL is going to get rid of the

741
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: Toush Push. They can't do it when the Eagles are

742
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: the defending champs. You can't give the Eagles lifelong bragging

743
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: rights of we'd have never lost. They like you can

744
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: get rid of the Toush push after the Eagles don't

745
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, So they could have done it

746
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: a year ago, where they could do it a year

747
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,760
Speaker 1: from now. But I don't want to hear these Philly

748
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: fans for the rest of my life saying the way

749
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: because you still hear Patriot fans. Man Jeanie brought it

750
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: up on the show Patriot Fans, Who's say, oh, the

751
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: Colts couldn't beat us, so they changed the illegal contact

752
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: rules because of that, And that's kind of true, but

753
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 1: it'll like, don't change the rules that the defending champs

754
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 1: of the defending champs, this is their play. And I

755
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: know eventually they're gonna get rid of it. And I've

756
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,479
Speaker 1: said it once, I'll say it one hundred times. They're

757
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 1: gonna get rid of it for two reasons. And it's

758
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: not player safety and it's not pace of play. The

759
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 1: first reason is it's an ugly, boring play and it's

760
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: bad for TV. And the second reason is this, what

761
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: if the Eagles got so good at it? Instead of

762
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: getting two yards when they did it, they got four

763
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: and first game of the twenty twenty five season, this

764
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: is an allowable play. First play, first and ten from

765
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 1: their own thirty after a touchback and they line up

766
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: in the toush push and then announce it like the

767
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: hell are they doing? And maybe, but I'm saying, like,

768
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,760
Speaker 1: if they got so good at it that you could

769
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 1: just do a drive of tush pushes. They would have

770
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,959
Speaker 1: to change the rules mid season. They'd have to be like, no, no, no,

771
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,799
Speaker 1: this is out, so you can't put yourself in that

772
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: jeopardy as a league. Now. I like the illegal contact

773
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: and defensive holding not being automatic first downs. I wish

774
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: that rule would change. There is nothing more frustrating as

775
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 1: a fan. Then it's third and thirteen and there's an

776
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 1: illegal contact and the other team gets a first down, because.

777
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 3: Then, especially when it doesn't even affect the actually play correct.

778
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: So I would like that. I don't think they'll change it.

779
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: I do not. I do not like the idea that

780
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,280
Speaker 1: you can get a home playoff game without winning your division.

781
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: I used to like that idea. I've changed my mind.

782
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 1: I like there to be a premium on winning your division.

783
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: And no, I don't see any of these passing. All right,

784
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 1: last one before we go?

785
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, So the headliner of March Madness last year

786
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 3: was Caitlin Clark. Do you think that anybody will be

787
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 3: able to outshadow that or even come close to it

788
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 3: this year?

789
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: And I'm bummed at the women's tournament put Paige and

790
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: Juju in the same region. Now, the upside to that

791
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: is it basically guarantees we get a Paige Juju game

792
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 1: in the Elite eight. I would have rather them be

793
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: on the same side of the bracket and that we

794
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, run the risk of one of them getting

795
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 1: bounced early. But we get them in the final four.

796
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: But Juju is a star and Page is unbelievable. And

797
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: by the way, neither one might be on the best team.

798
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:49,799
Speaker 1: UCLA or South Carolina might be the best team. So

799
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: on the women's side, Paige and Juju should be great.

800
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: On the men's side, it's gonna be Cooper Flag and

801
00:54:56,120 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: this duke team that is the rightful, huge favorite. I

802
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: saw a mock draft the other day that had three

803
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: of the top seven picks or players on this duke team,

804
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,360
Speaker 1: so that that gives you an idea of how good

805
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: that team actually is. All right, reminder like rate, subscribe review,

806
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: please do that. It helps us out more than you

807
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: could possibly imagine. Go to Scott's question demonse.

808
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 3: Okay, Scott says it's time to try to quit smoking.

809
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 3: What patch do you? Oh, what patch do you recommend?

810
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 3: I need the strongest one possible. Thanks so.

811
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:43,439
Speaker 1: Unpaid endorsement the generic Target brand Step one Nicko Team

812
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:50,399
Speaker 1: patch clear is the best one. And now yeah, now

813
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know the so here it's hard

814
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: to phase down. But if you get on a schedule

815
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:03,240
Speaker 1: of putting on that phase one target nicotine patch first

816
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,399
Speaker 1: thing in the morning, you'll kind of get that same

817
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,360
Speaker 1: rush you do from a morning cigarette and it really

818
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 1: will last all day. And I also strong recommend that

819
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: in the beginning phase of this trying to quit smoking,

820
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: don't the first week or so, don't drink because anybody

821
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: that smokes, you get an extra even strong in the

822
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: nicotine patch, craving for a cigarette when you've been drinking.

823
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: So get yourself used to the nicotine patch. That that

824
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:36,799
Speaker 1: would be my That would be my recommendation. Uh go

825
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 1: to Trey.

826
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 3: Uh to Tray says Oh yeah, Tray says Nick best

827
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 3: vacation advice at All Inclusive and Costa Rica.

828
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 2: Uh, Matt, turn off YouTube.

829
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,839
Speaker 1: Oh no, don't worry. So here is Oh I don't

830
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 1: know if Trey was trying to tell Matt to turn

831
00:56:55,280 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: off YouTube. I don't know. I am not an All

832
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: Inclusive fan. And there's two reasons for that. One is

833
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 1: one of my favorite parts about traveling is eating, and

834
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: typically the food at all inclusive places is mediocre, you

835
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: know what I mean, because people so like that's one piece.

836
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: The other piece is this. It almost forces you psychologically

837
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: into drinking more than you want to because it's like, well,

838
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: I paid for it already, it's free. Like you feel

839
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: like in order to get your money's worth, you need

840
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 1: to be hammered by noon. And then you know, and

841
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 1: so and so I would I'm a bigger proponent of

842
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 1: stay somewhere nice and buy liquor, either at the airport

843
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: or you know what I mean, off the resort and

844
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: keep it in your room whatever it is. So if

845
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 1: you do want listen, if you're a cationing and friends

846
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: or whatever and want to really get hammered, more power

847
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: to you. But don't you don't necessarily have to do

848
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: it at the hotel, bar, at the those things. As

849
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 1: far as the my favorite place in the Caribbean, the

850
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: only place in the Caribbean that I've gone to that

851
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: one of the time, as perfect weather, and the beaches

852
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 1: are as beautiful as anywhere, and it's such a small

853
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: island you can see everything you want to see. Is Aruba.

854
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: Now there are portions of the island that have become

855
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 1: almost like Orlando, but with nicer beaches, just super kind

856
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: of like tacky americanized. But there are other portions of

857
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: the island that are just unbelievable. So I but I

858
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: had a great time in Costa Rica. Uh and the

859
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's not really a bad space. Oh

860
00:58:55,280 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: one other thing, Saint Martin for food is great because

861
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 1: there's a French side and a Dutch side. The Dutch

862
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: side is kind of more fun. The French side's fancier

863
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: and better food. And if you go to Grand Cayman,

864
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: it sounds like the most touristy, silly thing there is.

865
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: But the swimming with the stingrays in Grand Cayman is

866
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: app You did that, demands you. You were there with

867
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: us when.

868
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 2: We it was turtles, turtles, there's turtles.

869
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: Maybe there were turtles, but when we.

870
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 2: Took the most scared and got.

871
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 1: The yeah but whatever, it.

872
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 3: Was no, no, okay, I was thinking of like the pool.

873
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 3: I don't know where we did that with the turtles.

874
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 3: The sting raise was out in the actual ocean.

875
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:52,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that is actually better than advertised. It's

876
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 1: like a really, really truly elite I can't I cannot

877
00:59:57,000 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: speak highly enough about that and one other little vacation tip. Okay,

878
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: this is one of my things. My family does, so

879
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: we very often do an airbnb instead of a hotel

880
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: because we have so many people and because we want

881
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 1: to be able to cook some of our own meals

882
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 1: or whatever. I'm a big airbnb guy if it's the

883
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: whole crew. But the kids obviously like hotel pools and

884
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: like resort style pools and stuff like that. So pro

885
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: tip that I think you're shaking your head. I think

886
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: I don't even think this is against the rules. I

887
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 1: think it's in the gray air. Make a reservation early

888
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: in the after early early in the afternoon for your

889
01:00:55,720 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 1: whole group for lunch at the nicest outdoor restaurant at

890
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: whatever hotel or resort you think your kids would like

891
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 1: the pool the most. Get there, immediately, order a full

892
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 1: round of drinks, a bunch of appetizers, and make it

893
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: clear you're gonna spend money. And then while the adults

894
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 1: are drinking, snacking on the appetizers and eating, let the

895
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 1: kids then go run and you know, do the water slides,

896
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: play in the pool or whatever. They won't give you

897
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: a hard time because you're not a hotel guest because

898
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: you are spending money and you're eating, but that way

899
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 1: you're not just tied to that location. And then the

900
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 1: other thing is again if they really really like it,

901
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: what you do is you leave a really big tip,

902
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, become friendly with the hotel staff, and then

903
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 1: if you want to go back and maybe not order

904
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: quite as much food, whatever it is, they usually will

905
01:01:58,720 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 1: take care of you.

906
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 2: Success rate so far, yeah, I.

907
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 1: Mean I'm pretty good at that. Uh. And again I'm

908
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: not trying to it's I'm not like trying to get

909
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: over be cheap. I just the like little kids, like

910
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,919
Speaker 1: meeting other little kids on vacation. Not gonna be able

911
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 1: to do that at the airbnb. And so yeah, this is.

912
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 2: I appreciate you getting me to that pool that I

913
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 2: was looking for.

914
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:28,959
Speaker 1: The well being sarcastic right now, sarcastic. Yeah, this less

915
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: for deman is more for Deanna. But still when Demanse

916
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: was Deanna's age, we took a bunch of water vacations

917
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 1: Toss City and water parks and in Texas, yeah, we

918
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,479
Speaker 1: take different vacations now. We used to go We'd be like, hey,

919
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: we're driving to Galveston and that was fun. We had

920
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,240
Speaker 1: a great time, but it's a little different now, all right,

921
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: Good luck in your march Madness, Pool's fun Show. Good
