61
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: one of these.

62
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: Okay, sure she was thrilled, a little weird.

00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:25,160

70
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: I was like I got a rocket now, I mean yeah,

71
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: otherwise you're not going to see this until next year,

72
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: next Christmas break or around the holidays. But anyway, on

73
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: today's show, we are going to do a little twenty

74
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: twenty three NBA year in review. All Right, I'm gonna

75
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: be looking at best performance, biggest surprise, my favorite quote,

76
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: and a whole lot more. But but, but, but it's

77
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: been a few days since our last Notedunks pod. We

78
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: did the post Christmas Day recap pod. So I thought,

79
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: you know, I figured, really some of you out there,

80
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: maybe you haven't been keeping up on the NBA this

81
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: week because you're traveling, or you with family, or you're

82
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 2: watching dumb Christmas movies, whatever the case. So what we're

83
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: gonna do here is we're gonna try and do a

84
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 2: sort of rapid fire recap of the NBA week that was,

85
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 2: and you see it here on YouTube. My man, JD's

86
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: got a clock and everything.

87
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: That's right.

88
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: You don't want this to be long, AJD, Now.

89
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 3: Okay, just the two of us, let's get out of here.

90
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna try and do this in five minutes,

91
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: so you can start the clock whenever you want. And

92
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: then Oh, hold.

93
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: On, let's start the clock and here we go.

94
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: Now, okay, we gotta begin with the weggies. We've had

95
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: seven wedgies in the last week of hoops, and it

96
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: was like Noah's Ark, these things were coming in pairs.

97
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: We had two in the Clippers Thunder game. Then we

98
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: had two in the Jazz Raptors game from Siakam and

99
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: then Chris Dunn. And then we had two in the

100
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: Magic Wizards game from Cole Anthony and Goga on a

101
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: very weird tip sort of rebound here. And then last

102
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: night to get us to seven and twenty one on

103
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 2: the season, it was Moses Moody sticking the deep three

104
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: point wedgy there. So, oh my goodness, I mean we

105
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: go away for a little bit. Seven wedgies. We're up

106
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 2: to twenty one and the pace has ticked up there

107
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: at Weggi.

108
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 3: Track fifty seven. Can't go lave it?

109
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, speaking of great streaks, you got a

110
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: hug a Pistons fan today, Oh my god, as Enjoy

111
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: Basketball wrote in their newsletter this morning, it turns out

112
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 2: we didn't need the in season tournament for excitement purposes

113
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: at all. You just need a historic losing streak to

114
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: make a regular season game feel like Game seven of

115
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals. Last night, the Pistons fell to the

116
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: Celtics two in overtime after leading by nineteen points at

117
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: the half. The franchise is now tied for the longest

118
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: losing streak in NBA history over two seasons. I mean,

119
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: it's one season for Detroit, but it's at twenty eight.

120
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 2: They've lost twenty eight straight games heartbreaking fashion. This one,

121
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: there was a really tough goaltending call on Kaid Cunningham

122
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: on Tatum Man. It was so close. Did it hit

123
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: the glass and then he blocked it or did he

124
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: block it to hit the glass? The ruling stood. That

125
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: was big. They did score then to get in overtime.

126
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: But Bugdanovich and Alek mix, I mean, they had some

127
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: wide open looks at threes. I think if one of

128
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: those guys hits one of those late, they win this game.

129
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: They snapped the streak, but it's at twenty eight now.

130
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: You had Network tweeting I saw last night. This streak

131
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: has Kid Cunningham looking like Obama after his second term.

132
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: Bro is twenty two going on forty eight. You gotta

133
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 2: feel for him, but don't worry. Detroit faces the Raptors

134
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 2: at home on Saturday to try and snap and avoid

135
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 2: lost number twenty nine in a row. Oh boy, oh boy.

136
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: Shaum's reported this week that the Pistons have their eye

137
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: on a forward in free agency too. Speaking of the Raptors,

138
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: siakam og Onanobi, Miles Bridges, Boo, and Tobias Harris former

139
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: Piston himself. Those are some names to watch as the

140
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: market develops. Okay, keep it going here. Oh my god,

141
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: it half to this. Oh I had to wedgies. We

142
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: had some historic box scores on Thursday night. Tyres Haliburton

143
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: scored twenty one points. He had a career high twenty

144
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: assists without a turnover to lead Indiana to the win

145
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: over the Bulls. Haliburton just the second player in NBA

146
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: history with twenty points and twenty assists without a turnover.

147
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: Chris Paul, the point God himself did it in twenty sixteen.

148
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: We also had Jokic with the perfect basically a perfect game.

149
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: I know he had some turnovers, but he had twenty

150
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: six points, fourteen boards, ten assists as the Nuggets posted

151
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: their highest point total of the season in a one

152
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: forty two one oh five win over the very shorthanded Grizzlies.

153
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: Yokich eleven for eleven from the field. He hit his

154
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: only three pointer. He was three or three at the lone.

155
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: Nothing disgusting about that, Steve Kerr. And it was Yolkicic's

156
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: third career triple double on one hundred percent field goal percentage.

157
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: Only Wilt Chamberlain has those type of games, or as

158
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: many of those perfect triple double games. Earlier in the week,

159
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: the Thunder defeated the Wolves and the Knicks in back

160
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: to back games. They're twenty and nine. They got the

161
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: NBA pundits wondering is this team old enough to truly

162
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: contend their third and net rating, sixth in offensive rating

163
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: and sixth in defensive rating. You know, they got a

164
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: superstar in Sga. They got other guys that look like

165
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: they're gonna be superstars in Jadub and chet Holmgren, a

166
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: bunch of other, you know, players on that roster that

167
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: contribute to winning basketball. But they are babies. They're young.

168
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: Top nine guys getting minutes have an average age of

169
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: twenty two and a half years. I saw that. Zach

170
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 2: Harper in his newsletter The Bounce Go Subscribe Since the

171
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: five six season, the youngest average age of an NBA

172
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: champion is twenty six point one years old. That was

173
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 2: the eight to nine Lakers. So the point being here,

174
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: I mean, the thunder they look amazing, but are they

175
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: just too young to go all the way? Probably, but

176
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: you know they're gonna be a tough out and they

177
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: might win a playoff series or two. What else? The

178
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: Cavs keep winning despite injuries to their all stars. Miami

179
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: has won four straight to take over the number four

180
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: seed in the East. Jimmy Butler hasn't played in any

181
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 2: of those four wins. That's how good they are. Katie

182
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: is Slash was frustrated with the Suns, but then he

183
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: shined with a twenty seven point triple double and a

184
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: win over the Rockets. Earlier this week, we had John

185
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: Morant upsetting people on Twitter. He was celebrating a win

186
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: in New Orleans by doing a dance from New Orleans.

187
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: People thought, hey, he's shooting guns. He might be shooting

188
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: a bazooka. The nerve of this guy. No, he was

189
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: doing a dance. The Nuggets. Aaron Gordon know, as I

190
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 2: run out of time here, he's out in definitely after

191
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: a dog hit him in the face, in the hand.

192
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 2: What a way to end there? Yeah, and finally I

193
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: was almost there JD. Yeah. And this is bad news

194
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: really for NBA fans. Sports media watch their headline NBA

195
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: Christmas viewership sacked by NFL. Yeah. The five game NBA

196
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: Christmas Day scheduled averaged a one point three rating and

197
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: two point eight five million viewers on the ESPN family

198
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: of networks, down twenty three percent in ratings and thirty

199
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 2: percent in viewership from last year, and if the league's

200
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 2: least watched Christmas Day slate on record. Big part of

201
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: this is three NFL games averaged and in flames averaged

202
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: north of twenty seven million.

203
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

204
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: Man, now some of those were good games. I mean,

205
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: I'm not following the NFL all that close. I know

206
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: they were better games this year than the year prior.

207
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 2: And everybody's wondering, well, Christmas is on Wednesday in twenty

208
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: twenty four. The NFL. They won't dare play on a Wednesday,

209
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: will they?

210
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: Ged?

211
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: Yes, they probably will. Yeah, they would be fools not to,

212
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 3: I know.

213
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. And there's a there's a big article. I guess

214
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: it was Ethan Truwitodstrauss saying, like the Nielsen ratings and

215
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 2: the way they've changed their calculation on people watching together,

216
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: and how it's like such an incentive now that the

217
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: way they count it, like people watching at other people's

218
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 2: homes and bars and stuff like that, that you want

219
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: these big, you know, holidays where a bunch of people

220
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: are all watching in theory together to juice the numbers.

221
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, of course they're going to have a game

222
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 2: two or three on Christmas. I think they will. It'd

223
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: be silly not to say.

224
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an absolute no brainer. And you know the

225
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 3: numbers are inflated sort of, right, sure, but that's supposed

226
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 3: to help everybody. So anyway you look at it, the

227
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,239
Speaker 3: NBA got their ass handed to them, which is expected.

228
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess the one thing is I think I

229
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: read like these a lot of the games on Christmas

230
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: Day for the NBA were some of the most viewed

231
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: games of the season so far. I think they eclipse

232
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: that the Lakers Pacers in season tournament, right, So that's good.

233
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I did the podcast on I

234
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: thought they were fairly entertaining. But I mean, look, people

235
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 2: in this country just they like football more football. It

236
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: doesn't matter who the teams are even and they were

237
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: pretty good games. So there it is the only other note.

238
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards forty four points last night. Nice nice showing

239
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: from him here as the Wolf sort of bounce back

240
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: after a loss and they stay at top the Western Conference? Thing?

241
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: Is that not bad? I mean it took like what

242
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: six minutes in total? Yeah, a little recap there.

243
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were gonna make the clock seven minutes. I

244
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 3: know this probably would have been perfect.

245
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: I would have been perfect. It would have been perfect.

246
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: But then, but you know what, then I would have

247
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: just elaborated more on some of those. And I know

248
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: people are upset. I'm sure I miss something, so let

249
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: me know in the stream team or tweet at me

250
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 2: at no dunk sink. Okay, here's what we're gonna do.

251
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,599
Speaker 2: I know we're pretty early into the pod here, a

252
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: little earlier than normal. We're gonna take a break. I'll

253
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: pound this coffee, and when we come back, we'll do

254
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: a twenty twenty three NBA eight year interview. Don't go anywhere,

255
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: all right, still here in the classic factory solo dolo,

256
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: though I see TK in the chat in the stream

257
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: team now I see it. I couldn't do it.

258
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: While I was.

259
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: Hosting the Damn Show and actually reading the comments, got

260
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: to mention Andre Drummond with the big beef, huge twenty

261
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 2: five rebound game to go with twenty four points against

262
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: the Hawks, with TK and attendance. I'm pretty sure true

263
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: was at that game if I have that right, on

264
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: the twenty sixth there in Chicago. So big beef from Drummond.

265
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: That's a that's a huge beef if we're being honest. Yeah,

266
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: did you have beef or the holidays?

267
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 3: Actually I did. Lincoln made a prime rib Christmas.

268
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: Death's a prime rib beef right there. That was your

269
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: Christmas dinner?

270
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, prime rib nice, so good.

271
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we actually we had beef as well. Now I

272
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: think about it over at Dave's Hoseak Staks. Yeah, some uh,

273
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: you know some Well, there's a lot of stuff. There

274
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: was a lot of options, but that was the main course.

275
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: So he just did like a mixed girl kind of thing.

276
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: He he didn't do shit, Okay, Caroline, his mother in

Speaker 2: Yeah, why not?

290
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: Why not?

291
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: So switch it up? Okay, So Drummond with a huge,

292
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: huge performance there with TK in attendants, probably yelling big

293
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: beef when he got to that twentieth board, I'm sure. Okay.

294
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: So point of this podcast, actually, though, is a little

295
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three NBA year in review. I've got sort

296
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: of some questions. I'll throw them at you guys, and

297
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: then i'll give my honorable mentions, make my picks. There'll

298
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 2: be a lot of meat left on the bone to

299
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: go back to the beef, but that is what it is.

300
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 2: It's a long year. So the first question here, best

301
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: performance in the NBA from twenty twenty three. Uh, you know,

302
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: on one hand, and I had forgotten this. We had

303
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: two guys in the calendar year scored seventy one points

304
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: in a game. Yeah yeah. Within the first two months

305
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three, two undersized guards scored seventy one points.

306
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: On January second, Donovan Mitchell set a Cleveland record with

307
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: seventy one points, the most by an NBA player in

308
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 2: seventeen years, as the Cavs rallied from twenty one down

309
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: to beat the Bulls one forty five one thirty four

310
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: in overtime. He scored thirteen points in the extra session.

311
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: There After, he forced overtime by grabbing his own intentionally

312
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: missed free throw and he made that circus shot.

313
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: You remember that, yeah, Id.

314
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: With like three seconds to go. Yeah, I know, I'd like,

315
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god. That was in the

316
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: same game. So he became the seventh player Mitchell did

317
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: in the seventy point club. And then later in February

318
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: when he was on a heater, like I think he

319
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: had a fifty point game. Then he had a sixty

320
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: point game. Damian Lillard became the eighth player in NBA

321
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 2: history to top seventy points in a single game when

322
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: he dropped seventy one in a way one thirty one

323
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: one fourteen victory over the Rockets, Dame hit thirteen three pointers.

324
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: He made a combined four hundred and twenty feet worth

325
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: of shots in that game. When you add it all up,

326
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 2: he came just one shy at Clay Thompson's NBA record

327
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: of fourteen three pointers made the game. But yeah, we

328
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: had Donovan Mitchell and Damian Lillard with seventy one points

329
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: in games this season. But it was a regular season game.

330
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: So if we look at the playoffs, where the you know,

331
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: the the lights are brighter and the stakes are larger,

332
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: stakes freaking hungry. Uh, I think you have sort of

333
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: for the jump out to me. Jimmy Butler's fifty six

334
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: point masterpiece in Game four the first round series versus

335
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: the Bucks, series that they would go on to win.

336
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: Steph Curry's fifty burger versus the Warriors in Game seven

337
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: of that first round series versus the Kings. Jason Tatum,

338
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: I had forgotten this one. He went for fifty one,

339
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: thirteen and five in Game seven of the East Semis

340
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: versus the Sixers. So all three of those, you could say,

341
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: those are all incredible, but but but but the Finals.

342
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 2: Jokic thirty two points, twenty one rebounds, ten assists in

343
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: Game three of the NBA Finals not only the first

344
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: thirty twenty ten triple double in Finals history, but also

345
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: a really big performance as the Nuggets rebounded from their

346
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 2: only loss in the series. I mean, the series was

347
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: one to one at that point, and he goes for

348
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 2: that in Game three. Tough not to give him best

349
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: performance considering it's a tied series in the NBA Finals

350
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 2: at that point, where they'd go on to obviously wax them.

351
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 2: But that's just that's unreal. Yokich averaged thirty fourteen to

352
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 2: seven in the five game Series one Finals MVP. My

353
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: only other final note Jokic is three highest scoring games

354
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: of the playoffs all came in losses. Fifty three in

355
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: a loss to Phoenix, forty three in the only loss

356
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 2: to the Wolves, and forty one in the only loss

357
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: to the Miami Heat in the finals. Weird that his

358
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 2: three highest scoring games were rolling losses, But man, I'll

359
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 2: give it to Yokich thirty two ten.

360
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 3: When he's on fire, the h the rest of the

361
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 3: team just takes the night out.

362
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly. But and we've always talked about it's

363
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 2: like the best way to beat the Nuggets is to

364
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: like try and make him a scorer. It's you'll, you know,

365
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 2: Steve Nash type of thinking, like he wants to pass.

366
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to shoot that many times.

367
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: Uh.

368
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 2: One little final note to Mac McClung, who I don't

369
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 2: think he saved the dunk contests. Resuscitated it maybe a

370
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: little bit, you know, kept it alive for a little

371
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: bit longer.

372
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 3: He plugged in the life support.

373
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were clear. Yeah I did that.

374
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 3: They're about to call it, but here comes McClung. Yeah, like, hey, guys,

375
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 3: have you tried the life support thing? Let's plug that in.

376
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean it was awesome. We had had some

377
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: stinker dunk contests and then this basically g leager guy

378
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 2: that you know, looks like he could be your neighbor

379
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: comes in and was amazing. I mean I watched the

380
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: whole thing again, all his dunks. He jumped over to

381
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: dudes like remember there was one guy on top of

382
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 2: the other guy's shoulder, jumped over them, easily grabbed the ball,

383
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 2: tapped it off the backboard and sort of reversed it.

384
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 2: He threw down sort of a double clutch three p sixty,

385
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: so he spun twice and sort of did like a

386
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: double pump. He finished a double pump handoff slam while

387
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 2: leaping over a guy, and then he wrapped it up

388
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 2: with I guess what we're calling the five forty Yeah,

389
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 2: which I will say in watching this again, Let's not

390
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 2: have Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller calling the dunk contest

391
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: at the same time. It's it was atrocious one of

392
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 2: them fine, pick one, but both of them. Oh, it

393
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 2: does not help the dunk. KHN doesn't say that, But anyway,

394
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 2: mc mclub with a with a great performance, Well.

395
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 3: Wouldn't Harland or someone be better, like a professional caller, Well.

396
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: They had that's there as well. Yeah, but it's just,

397
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's Reggie doing his hyped up Reggie thing.

398
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: But then it's Kenny doing Kenny. Draymond Green was on

399
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: the call too, right, and Kenny's you know, Kenny's Kenny

400
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: within the contest like goes from like he basically goes

401
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 2: from like I don't know about this kid to like

402
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 2: this kid should be in the NBA just for his

403
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: dunk contest. It's like it was a lot Okay, next

404
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: one here. Ultimately I was going yo kitch there for

405
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 2: best performance Game three of the Finals. Biggest surprise a

406
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: few nominees. Minnesota Timberwolves for the quick turnaround here. Last

407
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 2: season they finished forty two and forty. They snuck in

408
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 2: the back door of the play in. They lost in

409
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 2: the first round to the Nuggets, who would go on

410
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: to win the championship. You know, by all accounts they

411
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: played them really well too. But there were major concerns

412
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: coming in this season about whose team this was, is

413
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: it Ants or Cats, Whether you could successfully pull off

414
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 2: sort of this twin Towers offense with Gobert and Cat,

415
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 2: whether Chris Finch was a bloody good coach, whether he

416
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 2: was the right coach. And they've sort of answered all

417
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 2: those questions. You know, they are top the Western Conference

418
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: right now. They boast the number one defense. They made

419
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 2: some like good calculated sort of trades, you know, especially

420
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: getting rid of d'angela Russell being won and con Lee

421
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: and the Kayle Alexander Walker coming in there. So the

422
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 2: Wolves turn around nominee the n season Tournament. Biggest surprise

423
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 2: not to us here at no dunks. We were talking

424
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 2: it up. We were like, what's sort of lose with this.

425
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: These are regular season games, give it a go. What's

426
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: the worst could that happen? They're just regular season games

427
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: that we're watching anyway. But to a lot of people,

428
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 2: a lot of haters, a lot of doubters, this was

429
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: a huge success the n season tournament and surprised a

430
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 2: lot of people how how much they got into it,

431
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: how even though nobody could really figure it out half

432
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: the time, once you could, and once they got to

433
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: the knockout stage, and like the players taking it seriously,

434
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 2: and like all the quotes from these guys, everybody just hey,

435
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,239
Speaker 2: oh my god, I don't care how rich you are.

436
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: Everybody wants more money, right that incentive. So that was

437
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 2: a nice surprise. But I'm gonna go with the Miami

438
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: Heats finals run as the biggest surprise. Improbable doesn't really

439
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 2: do it justice. I mean, this team, they lost to

440
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: the freakin' Atlanta Hawks in the first play in game,

441
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: and they needed a fifteen to one run to beat

442
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bulls just to make the playoffs. It's nuts

443
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: that then they would go on as the first eight

444
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: seed to make the finals since the Knicks in ninety nine,

445
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: first team to come out of the playing tournament to

446
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: go on a deep run. You know, they beat the

447
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: Bucks in five, they beat the Nicks and six, they

448
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 2: beat the Celtics and seven, and then they run into

449
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: the juggernaut that is a jokicen the Nuggets. But what

450
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: a run. I mean, just especially early on, and it

451
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: was cool, Like I mean, it was Jimmy Butler in

452
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: that first series versus the Bucks, and then it was

453
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: like you had the Martin series and you had Duncan

454
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: Robinson moments and like all this everybody contributing Max struce.

455
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 2: That was pretty surprising. I don't think when they lost

456
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 2: to the Hawks, people had a lot of faith that

457
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 2: the Miami Heat were We're gonna go run, even though

458
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 2: we had seen them do it sort of in the

459
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 2: bubble before shock people at least.

460
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it was crazy that they beat the Bucks, right,

461
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 3: I mean it was crazy.

462
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 2: I mean, though the honest injury came into play, but

463
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 2: what Jimmy did against a very talented Milwaukee team with

464
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: one of the best perimeter defenders in the league on

465
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: him and Drew Holiday and he cooked him like I

466
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: mean that fifty six, Like I said, one of the

467
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 2: best performances that fifty six point game in game four

468
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: was just awesome. H only one other sort of nominee

469
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: here as a surprise Dylan Brooks receiving MVP chance as

470
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: he led Canada to their first ever World Cup medal

471
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: against the States. Dylan Brooks scored thirty nine points in

472
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 2: the bronze medal game to prevent Team USA from getting

473
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: the bronze. He went twelve of eighteen, seven of eight

474
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 2: from deep, four rebounds, five assists. This guy was like

475
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 2: the brunt of jokes on social media.

476
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 3: On this show, like oh yeah, the most punchable face

477
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 3: he still has.

478
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: Face, but respect to him. And it was like he

479
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: went from beginning he was getting booed in in the

480
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: feeble World Cup, like whether they were in Indonesia or

481
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: the Philippines, to like getting cheered in MVP chants in

482
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 2: that in that bronze medal game and he got the

483
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: last laugh. I mean, people were wondering legitimately after the

484
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 2: whole leaving Memphis and he was sort of the scapegoat

485
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: and he was the blame of everything and he poked

486
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 2: the bear with lebron and all that stuff. Is he

487
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: gonna have to go play in China? Like is he

488
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: out of the league. Okay, I mean, not only did

489
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: he help Canada make the Olympics, he got a four year,

490
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 2: eighty six million dollar contract from the Rockets that he's

491
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 2: doing quite well, so so good for Dylan there, But

492
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 2: surprising that he got MVP chants.

493
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, very surprising.

494
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 2: I doubt you had that on the Bingo card. Okay.

495
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 2: Best trade from twenty twenty three in the NBA, A

496
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 2: lot of guys were traded, a lot of big names.

497
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: In February, Kyrie Irving was traded in the Mavericks and

498
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 2: then three days later, Kevin Durant was traded to the Suns.

499
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: That happened in this calendar year. Yeah, I love the

500
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 2: two moves. The Celtics made those trades in June, getting

501
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 2: Kristaps Porzingis for essentially Marcus Smart and then on October

502
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,959
Speaker 2: first they acquired Drew Holiday for time Lord Brockden and picks.

503
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: You know, they're one of the best teams in the

504
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 2: league right now, so those are working out for them.

505
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: But probably the best trade. I mean, I guess we'll

506
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: see do the Celtics go to the finals or do

507
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: the Bucks do it. Damian Lillard being traded to Milwaukee

508
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 2: is like the biggest surprise slash best trade because nobody

509
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: had him going to Milwaukee. Yeah, for months, For months,

510
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 2: it was him going to the Miami Heat, and it

511
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 2: was just a matter of when not if. I mean,

512
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,959
Speaker 2: I got that one wrong. I was definitely convinced that

513
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 2: Joe Cronin and the Blazers would eventually trade him there.

514
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: But no, out of nowhere, he goes to Milwaukee and

515
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: it's working out quite well. I mean, they are obviously

516
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 2: amongst the best teams in the league. They are getting

517
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: better and better. It feels like every game. I think

518
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 2: it's not gonna be long term. They have the number

519
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 2: one offense I guess of all time probably, So I'll

520
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 2: go Lillard going to Milwaukee and that three team deal

521
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: just because of the shock value of it. Yeah. He

522
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: also Lillard's thirty two point two points per game is

523
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 2: the most by a player to change teams the following season,

524
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 2: So he was a He's a superstar still and he

525
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 2: got traded. That's big, big stuff there. But I already

526
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 2: talked about a sneaky good deal Conley and Nikile, Alexander

527
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,959
Speaker 2: Walker and that three team deal for Malik Beasley Vanderbilt

528
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: and Dangelo Russell's a That was the trade that I

529
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: think Westbrook was involved in too with the Jazz, which

530
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 2: is really weird to think about. Let's move on to

531
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 2: least favorite storyline. Holy Moly, Well, it's mainly all off

532
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 2: court shit. I mean, Miles Bridge is still playing pro

533
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: ball despite domestic violence charges. We basically just refuse to

534
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 2: talk about him here on this show. So there's that.

535
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 2: That's a least favorite storyline. Draymond Green. A lot of

536
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: people would pick. I mean, I proposed this one on

537
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 2: Twitter this que and there's a lot of like just

538
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: Draymond Green. I mean, I love it for content. I

539
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 2: love it because he's doing dumb things. At least it's

540
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: generally on the court things. Zion Williamson though all his

541
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 2: off court issues that people a lot of that was

542
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 2: sort of during the summer and the lead up to

543
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 2: the season. Though. I know he just got a tattoo.

544
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 2: Did you see his tattoo? JD giant chess tattoo that

545
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: people are saying is maybe not straight. Yeah, it's like

546
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 2: a giant cross. But I think there's a line in it,

547
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: Like there's a lot of stuff in it, Like you know,

548
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 2: it's intricate, but just what he's saying. Look at his

549
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: look at his nipples. It's not even it's like really big.

550
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: Maybe he's planning on building up one of one of

551
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: his pets.

552
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: That's true. But I think I'll just go with least

553
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: favorite storyline just because it was so long, the events

554
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 2: and the incidents, incidents leading up to Ja Morant's multiple suspensions,

555
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: Like this was like five months of stuff. I mean,

556
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: this was almost half the year. I mean, I could

557
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: go through it all, but I'm now looking at my

558
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: notes if you really want me to. But it started

559
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 2: in January when we learned, like a lot of it

560
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: was us learning of altercations that happened in the year prior.

561
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: Obviously the one with this you know, then seventeen year

562
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 2: old kid the pickup basketball, which at the time there

563
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 2: was no charges filed, but I think you know now

564
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 2: we have obviously a trial case going on. I don't

565
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 2: know where we stand on that one. And then we

566
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: had the whole incident with this his buddy at the

567
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 2: Pacers game, and there was like this laser laser exactly,

568
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 2: the aggressive approaching of the Pacers. There was that. Then

569
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: there was other stories about running at the mall, and

570
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: then of course we got to the Instagram videos. That

571
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: was what really set this off. In early March, he's

572
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: at the Denver Area nightclub after the game against the Nuggets.

573
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 2: Hours later, the Grizzlies announced that Jummeran was taking time

574
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: away from the team. The NBA opened an investigation. About

575
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 2: a week and a half later, the NBA announced that

576
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: he was suspended eight games for conduct detrimental to the league.

577
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: He met with Commissioner Adam Silver and others in the

578
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 2: league office, and then after that meeting, you know, there's

579
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 2: a strong belief Okay, that was stupid, dumb mistake. I mean,

580
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 2: you got eight games for it, which really, when you

581
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: think about it, played a huge part in him losing

582
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: out on thirty nine million dollars because you know, he

583
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 2: missed a chunk of the season could make all NBA.

584
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: So there's that really cost himself a lot of money there,

585
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: And then we think, okay, maybe it's done. But then

586
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: on May fourteenth, a second video surfaces of John Morant

587
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: brandishing a gun. I think that was on his friend

588
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 2: Pack's account, and the Grizzlies immediately suspend Jah Morant from

589
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 2: team activities. The NBA announced it's going to review the incident.

590
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 2: He apologized, but then not long after, the NBA suspends

591
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: him for twenty five games. And that's where we missed

592
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 2: him at the start of the season. About all of

593
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 2: this is, obviously we see him playing again now great,

594
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh man, we didn't get twenty five

595
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: games of that. Yeah, because he's like a just like

596
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 2: a walking highlight reel and obviously helps the Grizzlies win game.

597
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: So I guess I'll go with that, just because the

598
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,719
Speaker 2: length of it and so much talking about it.

599
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: I agree. Yeah, I got tired of it here on

600
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 3: the show standing here.

601
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was a real big when the second

602
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: one came around. Yeah, He's like, no, no, no, no,

603
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 2: So I'll go with that for my least favorite storyline.

604
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 2: Let's hear from you out there. Best milestone. This one

605
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 2: was pretty easy. February seventh, twenty twenty three. Lebron James

606
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 2: surpasses Kareem Abdul Jabbar for the NBA career scoring record.

607
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: Lebron Sanka sixteen foot fadeaway jumper over ken Rich Williams.

608
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 2: You're gonna want to remember these names when it comes

609
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: to trivia. Twenty years from now. Let's not forget Thomas

610
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 2: Bryant posting up, give me the ball, Lebron, I'm open,

611
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 2: got my man sealed here. Great photo, but yeah. Lebron

612
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: hits that jumper near the end of the third quarter

613
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: in LA gives him the necessary thirty six points within

614
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 2: that game to jump Captain Captain Kareem there thirty three

615
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 2: and eighty eight for his career. Brian Phillips I saw

616
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 2: writ yesterday for the Ringer, who are doing a lot

617
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 2: of like your year in review and the favorite moments

618
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: from the year and all that he wrote, and it

619
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: really like summed up how I felt about it, I

620
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: think at the time and now looking back at it.

621
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: Brian Phillips again, quote the moment is a little anti climactic,

622
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 2: and that only when you think about the accomplishment in

623
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 2: the context of Lebron's whole career does it start to

624
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: give you goosebumps, because once you do that, you realize

625
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 2: that the lack of any real drama or suspense is

626
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: the most astonishing thing about it. Lebron has been playing

627
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 2: the game of basketball so well for so long that

628
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: he made breaking the ultimate scoring mark kind of mid

629
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 2: end quote again, Brian Phillips totally how I felt, and

630
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: I think a lot of us felt like it was cool,

631
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 2: but it was like like he just became the MD's

632
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 2: all time leading scorer. Yeah and lookay, it's just like

633
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: and it just speaks to like how well and how

634
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: talented and how great he's been for twenty years running here.

635
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 3: We also knew it was gonna happen like years ago,

636
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 3: a couple of years. Yeah, yeah, I mean he's he's

637
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: showing no signs of stopping. Is now it's like how

638
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 3: high can he go? You know, he's going to be

639
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 3: playing with his son.

640
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: I know, I know. I went and rewatched it and uh,

641
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: kudos to Brian Anderson on the call. I thought he

642
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: nailed the call. I don't know if this was talked

643
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 2: about at the time. He is again near the end

644
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: of the third quarter, Brian Anderson coming to the end

645
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: of the coming to the end of the third quarter,

646
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 2: Lebron James a shot at history, and there it is.

647
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 2: Lebron stands alone. The NBA is all time scoring record

648
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 2: now belongs to Lebron James. I just thought he nailed it.

649
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: Well done by Brian Anderson. But Kareem's near thirty nine

650
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 2: year run as the NBA's all time leading scorer ended

651
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: with that shot, and that was by far the longest

652
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: anyone has held that particular record, more than double the

653
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 2: eighteen years that Will Chamberlain sat atop the all time

654
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: scoring list from sixty six through eighty four, and that's

655
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 2: when Kareem you know, took it over there. So just

656
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 2: just crazy. But we're just going to see again. And

657
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: then you know, I guess a part of it too,

658
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: and I think Brian Phillips did right about this too.

659
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 2: It's like it's Lebron James, like every movie does, is

660
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: so calculated, so it's right, you know, the game stops,

661
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 2: and it was cool Kareem was there, Yeah, especially now

662
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: considering his health scare, so that the good timing obviously

663
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 2: that he was there and got the photos and all that.

664
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 2: But then he got the kids all out there and

665
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 2: he just like said his classic Lebron things and he's

666
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 2: had to have said a million times because he's you know,

667
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 2: obviously accomplishing all these things, but have to give that

668
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 2: best moment still.

669
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to even at like it feels kind

670
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 3: of every it's a good point about Lebron everything feels

671
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 3: a little contrived, like he's so well, he's so media savvy.

672
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 3: Yeah you know, yeah, so I know, but you will.

673
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 2: I mean this could like who knows this with the

674
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: way scoring goes nowadays, I mean, maybe somebody surpassed him,

675
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 2: but you you said it there. It's wild that at

676
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: that point, at this point in his career, that he's

677
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 2: still like people are like, oh, he top ten, top five.

678
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: I mean, man, if it breaks right from the making

679
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 2: when another title it's like as the lead guy or

680
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 2: at least you know, close to it with ad, that's

681
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 2: just insane. I mean, we do take it for granted.

682
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 2: I know, we always say that. And scoring isn't even

683
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 2: his strongest skill JD. He's a pass first guy, widow.

684
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 3: It's crazy. Uh all right?

685
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: Final one here in recapping the year Year in Review

686
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 2: best quote, I got four favorites.

687
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, uh.

688
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 2: First one from way back in January, when reporter Scoop

689
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 2: b asked nets guard Cam Thomas, why don't you smile more?

690
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 2: Cam Thomas said, ain't shit funny? And then he trademarked

691
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 2: it not too long after. Ain't shit funny? To cam Thomas,

692
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 2: that's why he's not smiling and he's taking it serious.

693
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 2: I love that one. And then we've had a lot

694
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 2: of some recent ones, and then I'll go back to

695
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: my favorite. But in November, we've had a couple so

696
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 2: not long ago, James Harden with a great I'm not

697
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: a system player, I'm a system this is a bowler line,

698
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 2: and you know it's I mean, he's now. It didn't

699
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 2: start well there with the Clippers, but they've got it

700
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 2: going down and he's playing good. And then I love

701
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 2: when you pair it with the photo of Tyrese Halliburton.

702
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 2: It was off after a loss, even though the Pacers

703
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: have had a great year. On November thirtieth, Terry's Halliburton said,

704
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: I'm tired of being a loser and just a funny line.

705
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 2: And again the graphic that people always do for these

706
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 2: just looks great and he even recognizes like, oh, well,

707
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 2: that's going to be I'm gonna be memed forever with

708
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: that one. But I think my quote of the year

709
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 2: goes to Jokic. Back to the Joker. After he wraps

710
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: up a game five victory they win the NBA Finals,

711
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 2: He's on top of the world. You know, he's asked

712
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 2: about it and he drops quote the job is done.

713
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: We can go home now, end quote.

714
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 3: I say that every day.

715
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 2: Yes, I know, and that is like what most people

716
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 2: at their nine to five job feel like. The job

717
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 2: is done, we can go home now. But this and

718
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 2: this guy looks that he honestly, it feels like he

719
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 2: looks at playing professional basketball. Is just you and I

720
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 2: making a podcast, Joe Schmo, you know, making something in

721
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 2: the factory. Somebody working at their desk crunching numbers.

722
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 3: Hopefully he feels some sort of satisfaction. You know, when

723
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 3: a roofer looks up and sees the roof, the brand

724
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 3: new roof that he's put on a house, and you know,

725
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 3: all right, we're done.

726
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: That was that roofer just wants to go home, crack

727
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,959
Speaker 2: a beer, watch the game and yo kids. Just wants

728
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 2: to go home, hug his kids, maybe crack a beer

729
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 2: and watch the horses, you know, get out to the stable.

730
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

731
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 2: And it's something about that is, you know, admirable.

732
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 3: It's his work life balance. We should all strive for us.

733
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: That's right. I mean, I obviously have a problem with it.

734
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 2: We're in here during the Christmas break, but I promise

735
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 2: you after this show wraps up, as the lights go down,

736
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: Jad turns the MIC's off. We're gonna turn to each

737
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 2: other and go the job is done. He can go

738
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 2: home now. So those are my four favorite quotes. I

739
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 2: know I'm missing a ton of great ones. Let me

740
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 2: know here in the stream team and tweet at me

741
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 2: at no dunk sink, or let us know in the

742
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 2: YouTube comments as well. We might as well wrap up

743
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 2: our final podcast of the year though, with some tweet

744
00:37:59,200 --> 00:37:59,840

Speaker 2: three from The New York Post. At n Y Post

748
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 2: the Nets, Michael Bridges admits he's eaten Chipotle every day

749
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 2: for the last ten years. It's to fire.

750
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,760
Speaker 3: See talking about his ass.

751
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, how spicy? Does he like it?

00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 3: I don't know.

753
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 2: I really should have clicked through and read the whole article,

754
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 2: but I did, you know, I saw this going around.

755
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 2: He admitted, like he eats Chipotle every day for the

756
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 2: last ten years. That's that's something else. And Chipotle is good.

757
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 3: Sure. I mean, if you're gonna eat a fast food

758
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 3: every single day, yeah, may as well be.

759
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 2: I saw people saying that. Yeah, it's like, I mean,

760
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 2: what else could you like? I don't know. I guess

761
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 2: subway you can sort of make healthy. I don't know

762
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: if you truly can really healthy.

763
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 3: Well, what do you mean he would make a no brand?

764
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 3: It would be you know, just.

765
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 2: Like it's not a sub if there's no bread, it's.

766
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 3: Just saying if you had to eat it every day.

767
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 2: You just put it in lettuce.

768
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just protein.

769
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 2: And that's a guy. So that guy Madio, the host

770
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: of is This Good? Go check it out. He doesn't

771
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 2: eat fruit because it's too sloppy, too juicy.

772
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 3: Well, he would also say there's too much sugar in it,

773
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: but that's not his reason.

774
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just like fruit because it doesn't taste good. No,

775
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 2: he doesn't like to eat a peach or stuff because.

776
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 3: It's it's it's gross. It's gross to him. But if

777
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 3: somebody eats a pair next to him, that's the biggest

778
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 3: crime you can do. He's just grossed out by.

779
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 2: Imagine sitting next to somebody eating a twelve inch sub

780
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 2: wrapped in lettuce.

781
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 3: I've done it, I've done it next to Yeah.

782
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 2: Well, I have seen Mado at a food court in

783
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 2: an airport put a bunch of lettuce on his head.

784
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 3: Cabbage. I think it was a cabbage.

785
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 2: Might have been you like turn it into like a yell. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

786
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 2: why did you do that?

787
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? Great question.

788
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 2: You did it for a bit, I think yeah. Oh,

789
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 2: but okay, here's my question. If you had to eat

790
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 2: I guess like a I mean, Chipotle is fast food.

791
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 2: It's like a step up from fast food. I know

792
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: you think it's fast food. Yeah, I mean it's fast.

793
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 3: Is subway fast food?

794
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're in the same ballpark, they're making it in

795
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 2: front of you. Yeah, that's a big difference than I

796
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 2: guess Burger King or a McDonald or something. Okay, what

797
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: what would you pick then? If you had to eat

798
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 2: it every day for ten years? That's the bet?

799
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 3: And could you No, I couldn't.

800
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 2: You couldn't. I don't.

801
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 3: I don't love Chipotle, to be honest, I would if

802
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 3: I if I had to do it every day. I

803
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 3: have to get the same thing every day. That's what

804
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 3: you're saying, that same order every day.

805
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 2: I wonder does he get the same order every day?

806
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 2: You must switch it up.

807
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:03,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going steak rito, no race, yeah, okay, beans

808
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,759
Speaker 3: black beans? Actually, no, last time I got when I

809
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 3: got Pento beans and it was delightful. I'm going Pinto's.

810
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 2: Okay, you can switch up your beans. I meant, what

811
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 2: other fast food place would you? Oh?

812
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 3: What other fast food place? M great questions.

813
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: I could eat McDonald's.

814
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 3: I could eat I think nuts every day. Ultimately it

815
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:25,720
Speaker 3: would be McDonald's.

816
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and fries McDonald's. And yeah, you'll switch up the

817
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 2: drink from time to time. Yeah, give me a water

818
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 2: every once in a while. So what would you what's

819
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 2: your order though? Nuggets too?

820
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 3: I switched between nuggets and the Big Mac, the Classic.

821
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 2: Okay, well, okay McDonald Yeah. I think a lot of

822
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 2: people would pick Mickey D's.

823
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's hear people are grossed up by McDonald's.

824
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, for sure.

825
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 3: It's not going to be Chick fil A because it's

826
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 3: all chicken, you know.

827
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're looking at this as the menu.

828
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 3: Try, I guess, but I will boys actually not bad. Yeah,

829
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 3: I do have a lot of options, and it feels yeah.

830
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 2: I tweeted once I'm convinced nobody eats Subway on the weekend,

831
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 2: and then I'm amazed it's open.

832
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 3: Really Yeah.

833
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 2: Wow, Now I know this isn't true, but a lot

834
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 2: of people were like, Oh, they must do way more

835
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 2: business during the week. Doesn't it just feel like you're right,

836
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 2: just feel like people go there during the week for

837
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 2: lunch or like maybe quick dinner or something like.

838
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it definitely feels like the healthier choice. But

839
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't think it necessarily it probably is.

840
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

841
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 3: I get into this argument with my son who is

842
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 3: now working at a Panera Bread, which I've never been to, never.

843
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 2: Never works there.

844
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've dropped him off there, but he was like

845
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 3: among his friends at school, they're like, Chick fil A

846
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 3: is the worst place to work, And I'm like, are

847
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 3: you insane? Like it's the probably the best place to work.

848
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 2: But it must be. But they say it's the worst

849
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 2: because they must be. They're all on your ass. There

850
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 2: are run a tight ship there. They run a tight ship.

851
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything you say is scripted, like right up to

852
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,320
Speaker 3: the greeting and the.

853
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 2: Have a play follow.

854
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 3: But isn't. If I'm in a fast food restaurant, I

855
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,919
Speaker 3: want that. I want the script. I do not want

856
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 3: to improv. I do not want to be like shooting

857
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 3: this ship just willy nilly, which is encouraged. Apparently, it's like.

858
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 2: Rage to talk to the customer.

859
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's the rapport back and forth, whereas Chick

860
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 3: fil A is it's extremely scripted. But that's what I want.

861
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 3: I do not want to be myself at this, want to.

862
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 2: Be you basically want to be just a Chick fil

863
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 2: A robot.

864
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 3: Tell me what to where, tell me where to be,

865
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 3: and tell me what to do, and tell me exactly

866
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:54,959
Speaker 3: what to say in every single scenario. Because and also,

867
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 3: people love Chick fil A. That's it. That's the other thing.

868
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 3: Nobody complains at Chick fil A. They love it.

869
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 2: It's great. It's good food for fast food. And where

870
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 2: they separate themselves from nobody else besides from the shitty

871
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 2: politics is uh is the service?

872
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 3: It's crazy, Like the difference is crazy everywhere else. And

873
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 3: you know, speaking of the politics, yes, if I can

874
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 3: hate the politics, but you get every Sunday off, every Sunday,
