<v Speaker 4>One of Jason Yeah, I'm.

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Excited for this. Yeah, I'm really excited to kind of

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 2>a weird episode last night. So it'll be good to

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 2>talk with Jason about nerd culture and of course just

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Survivor forty four season in general. I was thinking, Uh, though,

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 2>we got me TK, we got JK, we got JD,

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 2>we got JC uput, and we got another JC coming

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 2>to us from LA. It's a big day for TK

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:04.519
<v Speaker 2>and the Jams.

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:06.399
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 2>What do you think Ashley had a little.

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.799
<v Speaker 5>Nervous nervous for being on right now? Yeah, man, this

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 5>is what I do. You know, That's what I do.

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 2>I was built for this. I love it. I love it.

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.959
<v Speaker 2>Busy night last night in the NBA. A lot of

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:22.959
<v Speaker 2>fun stuff to talk about. So we're gonna play a

0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 2>little bit of what you Got, what you Get? All right?

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.399
<v Speaker 2>This is usually where I freestyle over the hot beat,

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 2>So take it away, what you got? I got nothing, Barge. Luckily, though,

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 2>we did have something in the NBA last night. Kevin

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Durant returned and finally made his home debut in a

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 2>nice win over the Timberwolves for the Phoenix Suns. The

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 2>Sacramento Kings smoked the Rockets one twenty to eighty. They

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 2>lit the beam and clinched a playoff spot for the

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 2>first time since two thousand and six, and both Joel

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Embiid and James Harden returned to the lineup as the

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Sixer beat the Mavericks in Philadelphia. So, guys, what was

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:08.600
<v Speaker 2>last night's best win? The Suns, the Kings or the Sixers?

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 3>What you got, Jerome, I mean, only one of these

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 3>wins was seventeen years in the makings. So I think

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 3>it's gotta be the Kings. I mean, huge for the

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 3>Sons and the Sixers, if anything, for them to just

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 3>round out their rosters and look at it looked like

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 3>full just going into the playoffs. But no, it's it's

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 3>all about the Kings. I feel like we're gonna be

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 3>talking about that a lot during this We already had

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 3>a short drop this morning, A shout out Skeets for

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 3>having that on deck for us. But no, I mean

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 3>we saw it. You know, iPhone didn't exist, Facebook was

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 3>in its infancy. Daniel Powder, you know, had a bad day.

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 3>What was like top of the charts, you know, So

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 3>Brad Miller shoutow, Brad Miller, Miller, big shadow, Brad Miller.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 3>There's really no other option in my opinion, Like, everything

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 3>looks good on the horizon for the other two, but

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 3>it's all about the Kings. Baby, Yeah, what'd you think?

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Asha pretty cool seeing the Kings actually clinched their playoff berth.

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the last time they did it, I was in

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 5>the sixth grade.

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna ask what everybody was doing back in

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and six. I was drawing blood at a

0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:23.599
<v Speaker 2>blood bank. Man. Sixth grade.

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 5>Sixth grade, man, I was eleven years old last time

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 5>they were in the playoffs. So yeah, to me, it's

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 5>the Kings too. That's definitely the win, the big win.

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 5>The Suns them getting to win. It didn't really move

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 5>anything the Sixers. They kind of just moved up an

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 5>extra game on the calves. But for the Kings to

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 5>be back in the playoffs again for the first time

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 5>in forever. Like I said, I was eleven, it's a

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 5>big deal. It's a big deal.

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.479
<v Speaker 2>So like that, Beam, what were you into when you

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>were eleven?

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 5>When I was eleven, the same stuff I'm into now, basketball,

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 5>Dragon Ball, and Star Wars. I haven't changed much at all.

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>Neither of live to be quite honest, I don't draw

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 2>blood anymore, but I do still like Needles. What about you, Jeroma?

0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Were you doing back in six.

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 3>I was in university hanging out super late at Tim

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 3>Horden's with all of my classmates and friends. I do

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 3>remember one time, like middle of the night, two in

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 3>the morning, just a long day and bad day came

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.840
<v Speaker 3>on and we just sat there listening, you know, contemplating life,

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 3>thinking it. You know, the Kings are so consistent. We'll

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 3>just keep on doing this for the next seventeen years.

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 3>But here we are. We actually made it around.

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was a pretty special moment last night in Houston.

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Obviously the clinch didn't go well in Sacramento, but they

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 2>looked at the schedules, how they had the rockets coming

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 2>up and knew they were gonna get it done. There

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 2>was a massive light the beam chant in Houston, which

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.919
<v Speaker 2>was pretty cool. Also, Keegan Murray hit three three pointers

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.720
<v Speaker 2>last night to pass Donovan Mitchell for the most three

0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 2>pointers ever in a rookie season. He's at one eighty

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.119
<v Speaker 2>eight now still has time to add to that, could

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>possibly get to two hundred, I suppose. But man, what

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 2>a story for the Kings to actually be able to

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 2>clinch this playoff birth I remember back when Dearon Fox

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>was entering the draft. I had to do this thing

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 2>for NBA TV where I rode on the bus and

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 2>just like walked down the aisle, sitting down and talking

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 2>to all of the draft prospects. First of all, Darren

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Fox was just taking pictures of his watch the entire time,

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.000
<v Speaker 2>like he'd just gotten a sweet new Tisa watch or

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>something because he was gonna get drafted. Just had like

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 2>a thousand pictures. I thought that was cool. We also

0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 2>had him on Summer League a little bit later that year,

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 2>and the guy just had so much charisma and you

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 2>could tell he was going to be a leader for

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 2>this Kings team. It didn't happen for them for the

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 2>first few seasons of his career. There were definitely some

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 2>dark moments where it kind of seemed like Fox had

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.600
<v Speaker 2>lost the light in his eyes compared to how he

0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 2>was when he came back into the league. But to

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 2>see them succeed after the SA Bonus trade last year,

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 2>very very cool for the Kings. Very cool to see

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Brad Miller getting a lot of love. There's a great

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 2>piece on The Athletic Today from Anthony Slater. He can

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 2>subscribe at the Athletic dot Com slash no dunks for

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 2>only a dollar a month. You know, I'm loving the

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>brad assance here in Zach er Medo because the guy

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 2>was an all star way back when. So yeah, I

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>got to talk to him now. But we'll see what

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>the Kings do in the playoffs. Other big news in

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 2>these games, of course, was Kevin Durant returning to the

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Suns for the first time in about three weeks after

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 2>suffering that injury to his ankle during pregame warmups. One

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.439
<v Speaker 2>of the weirdest things We've talked so many times since

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 2>the Kevin Durant trade, since his injury, how every time

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.800
<v Speaker 2>this guy comes back, it looks like he's never missed

0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:44.760
<v Speaker 2>any time. No rust ever keeping Durant, and we completely

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 2>jinxed him. He went five for eighteen from the field,

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 2>finished with sixteen points.

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.680
<v Speaker 3>He was rusty, he was a little just what just

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.839
<v Speaker 3>wasn't until just over five minutes left in the second Yeah,

0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:59.679
<v Speaker 3>that he actually hit his first bucket. But I just

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 3>remember watching through just like, oh, it's all these like

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.080
<v Speaker 3>bunnies for Kevin Durant mid range, like this is just

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 3>bound to happen. But then he got to the free

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 3>throw line to miss one at a two, and that's

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 3>when I'm just like, you know, we're in a situation

0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 3>now where it's just like, oh, Katie's really got to

0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 3>get back into it. I guess sometimes you actually do

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:19.320
<v Speaker 3>need to shake off the rest.

0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and sometimes you need to turn on the Daniel

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 2>powder because you just had a bad day from the field.

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes that happens. A lot of credit I do think

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 2>goes to Jaden McDaniels, a good player to be guarding

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Durant because they are shaped very similar, very quick,

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 2>very long. Obviously, but I did think Katie was still

0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>getting to his spots. He was just missing. They had

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.720
<v Speaker 2>that little Wired segment with him and Monny Williams where

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Moni comes over, He's like, greatness doesn't shake his head,

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 2>they're just missing shots, man, And that's exactly what it was.

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:52.319
<v Speaker 2>Once he is back to getting his rhythm, he'll be

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 2>doing all right. And the important thing I would say

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 2>for the Suns is that they won with Kevin Durant

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 2>not playing very well, because don't forget, they still got

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.560
<v Speaker 2>an incredible team around this guy. Chris Paul I thought

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 2>in the fourth quarter was awesome. The way he was

0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 2>orchestrating a good shot every single time down for Phoenix.

0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 2>He finished with eight points in the quarter had two assists.

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Devin Booker only had five points, but it felt like

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.959
<v Speaker 2>he was scoring a lot more. They just played with

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 2>more execution on the offensive end. Their defense was solid

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 2>as well. And for Minnesota, they've had a couple of

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 2>nice wins here. Apparently there's an intestinal flu kind of

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.240
<v Speaker 2>like ripping through their entire team, so I don't blame

0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 2>them for being a little fatigued down the stretch.

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:34.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think the flu definitely got to him on that.

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 5>But like you said, though, it's it's really good for

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 5>the Suns to have like their team be good when

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 5>Kevin Durant is coming back, because whenever Kevin Durant is

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 5>Kevin Durant again, they're gonna be scary in the West,

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.200
<v Speaker 5>and I think nobody wants to see him. And his

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.520
<v Speaker 5>win is really good, so they could keep the four seed.

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 5>Don't fall down or actually they're to the fifty right

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 5>so right behind the Clippers, but they're right there under

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 5>them and they'll be fun.

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The win actually, well, the Clippers ended up winning

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 2>last night too. They had a nice win. But Phoenix

0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:02.480
<v Speaker 2>is in the fourth seed right now, they're a half

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 2>game up, and that's gonna be I mean, they're so

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 2>close right now, Phoenix in LA the Clippers, they're gonna

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 2>be probably switching back and forth, and like you're saying,

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Duran ain't gonna shoot five for eighteen. No, So

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 2>that's a problem for the rest of the league. As

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 2>for the Sixers, I thought that was a pretty solid win.

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Joel Embiid back in the lineup, James Harden back in

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.359
<v Speaker 2>the lineup. Embiid went for twenty five points, nine rebounds.

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Harden had fifteen and twelve assists, just making sure they

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:30.359
<v Speaker 2>got great shots. I didn't think Embiid was dominant offensively.

0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:32.240
<v Speaker 2>He played a good game, had a couple of big

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 2>baskets in the fourth quarter, but I thought he was

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 2>truly showing his impact defensively. Had that monster block on

0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Luka Doncic late, basically a defensive dagger. He was guarding

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Reggie Bullock for a big part of the fourth quarter

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 2>and in the second half, just basically standing in the

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 2>middle of the lane daring the Mavericks to take open

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 2>threes and they could not hit him. Sixers did a

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 2>good job of running them off the line and making

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 2>the MAVs think about it. But the MAVs really went cold.

0:11:56.760 --> 0:12:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Three of twelve from three in the fourth quarter for Dallas,

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.080
<v Speaker 2>which just ain't gonna cut it. But the play of

0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.839
<v Speaker 2>the game to me was two minutes left in the game.

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 2>James Harden almost fumbles the ball trying to grift a foul,

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 2>so it looks like he has an open jumper, could

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.680
<v Speaker 2>have easily taken it, but he doesn't. He passes it

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.719
<v Speaker 2>to him Bead, and Bead has the ball in the

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 2>at the elbow the high post he's thinking about attacking.

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 2>The shot isn't necessarily there, so he moves it. It

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 2>passes two more times, the ball ends up with Tobias

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Harris on the post. Luca too small on him, an

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:32.440
<v Speaker 2>easy floater for Tobias Harris to give him the bucket.

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 2>And that to me was just like the Sixers giving

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 2>up so many good shots, so many shots you would

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 2>be okay with with stars taking, whether it be Harden

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.199
<v Speaker 2>or Embiid, but instead they just worked the ball, got

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 2>the best shot. They were playing for each other out there.

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.160
<v Speaker 2>That was a grinded out kind of win for Philly.

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 2>I was super impressed.

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, disappointing for the mass for sure. And you know,

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 5>I was watching the game. I think in the final

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:55.920
<v Speaker 5>four minutes of the game there was a couple of

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:58.319
<v Speaker 5>bad whistles and not necessarily bad whistles, but whistles that

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.079
<v Speaker 5>didn't go their way. They had the offensive for k

0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 5>kleeber Bullock fouled and then Tim Hardway Junior had a

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 5>loose ball foul on a box out and that just

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.960
<v Speaker 5>kind of like killed all of the momentum that they

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 5>had because I think right before that thing is when

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 5>Luca came down and hit the three, and it just

0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 5>it just killed it. The whole game was over and

0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 5>the maps are really sliding right now. They look awful,

0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 5>and they're sitting outside to play in tournament. I don't know,

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 5>I don't know what's gonna happen with them, man, they

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 5>just what can you say about the MAVs.

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, the weird thing to me, I mean, a tough

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 2>loss for the MAVs. They played really well through three

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.959
<v Speaker 2>quarters and then fell apart in the fourth quarter. I

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 2>think it's the thirteenth time this year they've blown a

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 2>lead of tiny or more points. I actually thought they

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 2>played pretty hard. Yeah, all things considered, I thought they

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 2>did some nice stuff in the third quarter. They went

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 2>zone completely took Philly out of the game. Embiid was

0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.839
<v Speaker 2>out of rhythm. Luka Doncic was smiling quite a bit

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.200
<v Speaker 2>in this game, exactly after he had said that he

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.480
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been playing with the kind of joy that he has.

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 2>But the fourth quarter was bad. Kyrie irving. His last

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 2>basket was with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter.

0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 2>His last shot attempt was with six and a half

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 2>minutes left. It was the only time he took a

0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 2>shot with Luca on the court in the fourth quarter.

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Philadelphia was doing a great job of forcing the ball

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 2>out of Kyrie's hands, out of Luca's hands, trying to

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 2>make any of those Mavericks role players beat him, which

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 2>they could not. But also, it doesn't feel like Luca

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and Kyrie are interacting with each other enough on the court.

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 2>You're never seeing Luca set a screen for Kyrie. You're

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 2>rarely seeing Kyrie set a screen for Luca. There's a

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of possession where Kyrie's just kind of hanging out

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 2>in the corner waiting for a kickout pass. I don't know.

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 2>It does not look perfect right now. And then you

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.440
<v Speaker 2>see the postgame comments from Kyrie Irving. He says, it's

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of a cluster right now. Fighting for the play

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 2>in is not what I expected. They're nine to fourteen

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.520
<v Speaker 2>since the trade for him, I was probably the biggest

0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 2>backer of this trade of all of us here on

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>the show. There was certainly a risk, but I thought

0:14:57.520 --> 0:14:59.520
<v Speaker 2>it was like a further down the road risk right

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 2>the way I was anticipating Kyrie and Luca getting worse

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:08.480
<v Speaker 2>being worse. Obviously the defense is a problem, but uh yeah,

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 2>bad stuff for Dallas right now.

0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the chemistry is not there. And like you described

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.000
<v Speaker 3>that final play or that key play with the Sixers

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 3>that ended into the Pius Harris short like mini hook

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 3>at the end there, like you were seeing the exact

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 3>opposite like you guys are describing on the other end

0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 3>with the MAVs, where it just seemed like it just

0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 3>lived or died on whether Luca would hit the big shot,

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 3>which he did one of the times. But then you know,

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.960
<v Speaker 3>you see the next time he gets that, like Joe

0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 3>el embiid gets that big block, and it's just you know,

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:41.280
<v Speaker 3>two teams with championship aspirations, one looks way better he

0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:44.920
<v Speaker 3>quit for playing in the clutch than the other you.

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Guys killed it. I mean, that was an incredible first question,

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.920
<v Speaker 2>straight up sicko mode. Moving on, we saw a fall

0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 2>career highs last night. Drew Holliday became the fourteenth player

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 2>this season to score fifty or more points, putting up

0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.600
<v Speaker 2>a career high fifty one in a blowout win against

0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the Pace, one notch down on the scoring explosion chart.

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Horton Tucker became the fifty fifth player to score

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.600
<v Speaker 2>forty or more this season. He put up a career

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.440
<v Speaker 2>high forty one in the Jazz win over the Spurs. Esh,

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 2>what was more surprising Drew's fifty one or thht's forty one?

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 5>What you got more surprising? I think it's tc ye Drew.

0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.360
<v Speaker 5>He was giving everybody buckets last night, like all over

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.240
<v Speaker 5>the four post ups, mid range, whatever. But we see

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 5>him do stuff like this on occasion, like this happens

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.120
<v Speaker 5>every once in a while. We know he's pretty we

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 5>know he's pretty consistent. Tha is t though. I mean

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 5>he only averages ten points a game for his career,

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 5>really right.

0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Under the top.

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:42.640
<v Speaker 5>Actually, yeah, So he goes out there drops forty one

0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 5>last night. He did it last year almost to the day,

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 5>like a week week away from there, dropped forty against

0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 5>the Warriors. So he does it every once in a while,

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 5>might drop a forty piece, you know, close to forty,

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:55.560
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, that's the most surprising for sure.

0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is the time to do it. End of

0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 2>the season, you are always going to see the usual

0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 2>player put up a huge stat line. Who can forget

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.480
<v Speaker 2>ben Uzo with a triple double the very last game

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:08.440
<v Speaker 2>for the Toronto Raptors. But yeah, THHD he had six

0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 2>threes last night, which I guess was the key to

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.879
<v Speaker 2>getting to forty points. Not necessarily a three point shooter,

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 2>but when he's hitting and when he's finishing the way

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.439
<v Speaker 2>he was inside, I guess that's how you get up

0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.080
<v Speaker 2>to forty one. And like you're saying, forty in a

0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.080
<v Speaker 2>game last year for the Lakers around the same time.

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.960
<v Speaker 2>This is when you get weird numbers in the NBA

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:29.560
<v Speaker 2>right at the end of the season. But man, some

0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 2>of the finishes he had. He had like a righty

0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:34.680
<v Speaker 2>on the left side where he kind of turned back

0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:36.920
<v Speaker 2>his body, which I thought was nice to see that

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 2>from THHT a lot, But even more impressive I thought

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:41.880
<v Speaker 2>was he was finishing with his left hand. Yeah, that's

0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.439
<v Speaker 2>one of the main concerns I remember Lakers fans having

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.440
<v Speaker 2>with thhds. He never used his left hand. It was

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.680
<v Speaker 2>good to see last night, though, what'd you think Jerome

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.879
<v Speaker 2>Drew's fifty one thht forty one.

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go with Drew's fifty one because, like like

0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.359
<v Speaker 3>Esh said, for sure, it's not something that is foreign

0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:01.400
<v Speaker 3>to Drew to do. But it's just when you look

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.320
<v Speaker 3>at the game itself, you would think, if Drew Holliy

0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 3>is gonna have a fifty point game, that is probably

0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:08.760
<v Speaker 3>gonna be really quiet for the rest of the team.

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:10.960
<v Speaker 3>But no, Janni Santa to Compo has a thirty eight

0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.440
<v Speaker 3>point triple double, Brook Lopez still goes for twenty one points,

0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 3>and then you mention how teach he does it on

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:22.359
<v Speaker 3>six threes, Drew Hallidy does it on only three. Yeah,

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:26.640
<v Speaker 3>and so if anything like it felt like the quietest

0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:30.120
<v Speaker 3>fifty one point game I've seen. If you watch the

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 3>uh like the NBA highlight recap for the game last night,

0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna see Jannis get a number of poster dunks

0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 3>in big plays. You're gonna see Grayson Allen with one

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 3>of the Dunk of the Year candidates potentially, and then

0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:45.800
<v Speaker 3>from an editor's perspective, knowing, I'd like, if I had

0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.160
<v Speaker 3>to put this together, this package, it's just so funny.

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.920
<v Speaker 3>You need to mention that a player on your team

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.160
<v Speaker 3>got fifty one points, so you have to fit in,

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.159
<v Speaker 3>you know, a couple of hook shots, a couple of floaters,

0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 3>just very quiet things, and then at some point just

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.120
<v Speaker 3>point out, oh yeah, and Drew Holiday got fifty one points,

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 3>a career high, and so on that end. No, it's

0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 3>not surprising for Drew to get it, but it feels

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 3>like if you list, if you were told that Drew

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Holly was gonna get a fifty point everything else feels

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:16.919
<v Speaker 3>so surprising that happens around it. It's almost like a

0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.400
<v Speaker 3>microcosm of the Bucks the season that they could quietly

0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.119
<v Speaker 3>run up these numbers, be the have the best record

0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:26.239
<v Speaker 3>in the league, and uh, we don't really talk about it.

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you're absolutely right. Jannis had thirty eight points, seventeen rebounds,

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 2>and twelve assists and didn't have the best game on

0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:36.640
<v Speaker 2>his team. That's that's crazy, man, watch you.

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Had fifty one and eight assists, it's not even like

0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:39.640
<v Speaker 3>he was just gunning.

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.560
<v Speaker 5>He's had fifty one eight and eight, right, eight and eight,

0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 5>so he almost had a triple double. Two a fifty

0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:49.000
<v Speaker 5>one point triple double, very close, just right there with

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:51.200
<v Speaker 5>Jannis having a triple double, and like you said, everything

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.000
<v Speaker 5>it was quiet. He was just giving them buckets. So

0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:56.720
<v Speaker 5>it is. It is weird like it is. It is

0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:58.440
<v Speaker 5>a weird thing. Droom, You're not You're not wrong.

0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean they have two players go for thirty

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:02.400
<v Speaker 2>eight and eight, which I think is probably the first

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:06.280
<v Speaker 2>time in NBA history that that's happening. But watching both

0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Giannis Andrew Holliday, it looked like they were the two

0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.760
<v Speaker 2>strongest men on earth, like youngest might actually be the

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.200
<v Speaker 2>strongest man on earth, at least maybe in the NBA.

0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:18.480
<v Speaker 2>And obviously the Pacers didn't have anybody who could really

0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.200
<v Speaker 2>check him. He didn't get a foul call at one point,

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:23.960
<v Speaker 2>so we just completely we're gonna go and we're gonna

0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:24.840
<v Speaker 2>be dalking anime here.

0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.359
<v Speaker 3>Super cyan mode Is that a thing?

0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, okay, good. I wasn't actually sure how to

0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:32.679
<v Speaker 2>pronounce it. I've read it so many times, so I

0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't sure how to be saying sane, but he went

0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:37.560
<v Speaker 2>super saying mode and he was just dunking all over everybody,

0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:41.640
<v Speaker 2>including Jalen Smith, who took a tough one on the face.

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:43.760
<v Speaker 2>And then you mentioned that Grayson Allen dunk as well,

0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:47.439
<v Speaker 2>where he just fell so hard. I wasn't sad, but

0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:52.160
<v Speaker 2>nonetheless it was funny watching because Jiannis you expect him

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 2>to be the strongest guy out there, but you mentioned

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.120
<v Speaker 2>it Jerome only three threes for Drew Holiday last night.

0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 2>He took one long two and everything else was in

0:21:00.400 --> 0:21:03.359
<v Speaker 2>the lane. It almost kind of felt like the Bucks

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 2>were going at Jordan Warra. I don't know why. Like

0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.480
<v Speaker 2>former Buck Jordan Warra, they wanted to prove a point,

0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:11.240
<v Speaker 2>and it was kind of like Michael Jordany to me,

0:21:11.280 --> 0:21:13.879
<v Speaker 2>where it's like, there's not a lot of motivation to

0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:16.119
<v Speaker 2>beat the Pacers this late in the season for the Bucks.

0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 2>But how about a guy we used to play with,

0:21:17.920 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's take on him to make some bits.

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 3>Jordan war was their bj Armstrong.

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're exactly right, great call, and uh, it looked

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:28.480
<v Speaker 2>like Michael Jordan versus bj Armstrong out there. The way

0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:32.199
<v Speaker 2>that Drew was just like anytime he would touch a

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 2>pacer with his shoulder or with his forearm. They would

0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:38.280
<v Speaker 2>go flying. It was like the easiest way to create space.

0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:41.320
<v Speaker 2>And then you're just saying dinking and dumping getting his

0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:44.879
<v Speaker 2>way to fifty one points. That was an awesome performance

0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 2>for Milwaukee on the night. They scored one hundred and

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:50.120
<v Speaker 2>forty nine points. They gave up one hundred and thirty six.

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:53.120
<v Speaker 2>But kind of everybody just agreed, we're all playing defense

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:56.120
<v Speaker 2>this game. We played defense every other game.

0:21:56.200 --> 0:22:00.040
<v Speaker 3>Say the Bucks the shot like fifty plus percent and

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 3>the Bucks like countered with sixty four percent.

0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:03.960
<v Speaker 5>It's just ridiculous.

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Boks made ten threes last night,

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:10.040
<v Speaker 2>that's hardly anything. They turned the ball over eighteen times

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 2>and they still scored one hundred and fifty because they

0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:16.359
<v Speaker 2>got the two strongest men on earth moving on. My

0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 2>worst fears were realized last night as the Lakers used

0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:23.639
<v Speaker 2>their loss on Sunday as inspiration for revenge against the Bulls.

0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 2>Last night, even worse, the Lakers got multiple taunts in

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:30.280
<v Speaker 2>on Patrick Beverley. Let's take a look.

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:35.240
<v Speaker 5>Price, and that is indeed the case for Reeves. Beverlys

0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:37.120
<v Speaker 5>pumped fakes, he could not get Lebron in the year.

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Now, we'll take a long one bebound Vander. That's Lebron

0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:43.800
<v Speaker 2>yelling hell no, hell no, hell no, that Patrick Beverley

0:22:43.920 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 2>as he pumped fakes. A little bit later on the

0:22:46.400 --> 0:22:50.400
<v Speaker 2>dagger from Austin, Reeves hits the floater and Reeves hits

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Patrick Beverly with the too small taunt after Beverly did

0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 2>it to Lebron and their last matchup in La so Jerome.

0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:01.440
<v Speaker 2>What you got which is the or Patrick Beverly tout

0:23:01.840 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 2>hell no.

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 3>It seems like it seems like it should be obvious

0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:07.600
<v Speaker 3>that it's the too small retort. But it just that

0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 3>that was gonna happen. You knew it had to happen,

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 3>especially if they get the revenge win. It's the hell no.

0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:17.240
<v Speaker 3>For me. If I was on the court and I

0:23:17.400 --> 0:23:19.479
<v Speaker 3>had the ball in hand and someone just looked at

0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 3>me and said, shoot, it's fine, I don't need to

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:26.359
<v Speaker 3>do anything about this, it was destroying my confidence at

0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 3>that point. There's no like to just yell hell no,

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:35.240
<v Speaker 3>hell no on pump fakes. You know that that's actually

0:23:35.320 --> 0:23:39.880
<v Speaker 3>that's the verbal too small. Wow, that's the verbal too small. Yeah,

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 3>It's just it's just like there's no like you got

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:44.320
<v Speaker 3>no shot, there's nothing going on. It's just it's minimizing

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:47.640
<v Speaker 3>a person at that moment. Yeah, No, for me, it's

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.800
<v Speaker 3>the hell no. It's it's almost like again, Lebron plays

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 3>chess while everyone plays checkers. He knows they probably expect

0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:55.520
<v Speaker 3>him to hit him back with some sort of too small.

0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:57.960
<v Speaker 3>But Lebron's way bigger than Patrick Beverly. There's no point

0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:00.200
<v Speaker 3>to doing the too small, So he's just gonna could

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Pat Beverly and say, you never bothered me to begin.

0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:06.240
<v Speaker 2>With, Yeah, Lebron did, I guess? I guess, Papa, I've

0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:09.000
<v Speaker 2>already had his too small And he had a little

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:11.399
<v Speaker 2>bit of a comeback and Lebron, like Lebron went to

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:13.639
<v Speaker 2>throw a pass and definitely knocked it out and he

0:24:13.720 --> 0:24:17.280
<v Speaker 2>hit him with the Mtumbo finger. It's hilarious. You knew

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:20.040
<v Speaker 2>the too small was coming though, Even Patrick Beverly said afterward,

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:22.200
<v Speaker 2>He's like, yeah, I knew somebody was going to too small. Yeah,

0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm just glad it was Austin Breeves. It sounded like

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:27.280
<v Speaker 2>a dad who was proud of his kid or something.

0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:29.000
<v Speaker 2>What's you think ash the hell no or the too small?

0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:30.480
<v Speaker 5>To be honest with you. I was going to go

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:35.000
<v Speaker 5>with the too small, mostly because of the clip where

0:24:35.200 --> 0:24:38.679
<v Speaker 5>he was doing the Shannon Sharp impersonation afterwards, but I

0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 5>think Jerome you kind of convinced me. Man, the hell

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:45.320
<v Speaker 5>no is that's the one for sure, because if I'm

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:48.200
<v Speaker 5>playing pickup, I know that there's guys at the gym

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:50.120
<v Speaker 5>that I do this to all the time, like literally,

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:52.880
<v Speaker 5>But I think Lebron should have waited till the shot

0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 5>in the corner on pat oh, yeah, because like to

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:58.560
<v Speaker 5>do it on a pump bake that's ultimate disrespect. Like

0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:01.480
<v Speaker 5>he's like, you don't even jumping, Yeah, don't even try,

0:25:01.520 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 5>Like I'm gonna block you. I'm not gonna do anything.

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:06.200
<v Speaker 5>But if he was in the corner and he hits

0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:08.920
<v Speaker 5>them with the hell nah and just turns right, hell

0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:10.919
<v Speaker 5>Na just turns, then you're.

0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Like, oh, it's odd.

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Yeah, I'm not sure.

0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 3>Steph Curry's like, turnaround.

0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:25:16.600 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 3>When he looks away, it's that it's to look away

0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:20.639
<v Speaker 3>because I know it's not going in. Yes, I'm not

0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 3>even looking the basket. I'm gonna go for the rebound.

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:25.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. There were some more great moments in this game

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.440
<v Speaker 2>as well. Basically, like Lebron I think he was maybe

0:25:28.440 --> 0:25:30.600
<v Speaker 2>being guarded by Io Desumu or something like that, and

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:32.400
<v Speaker 2>he just happened to be right over by the Bulls bench.

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:35.239
<v Speaker 2>He's basically like Pet pointing out Patrick Beverer. He's like,

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:37.280
<v Speaker 2>he's in it, You're not. You're sitting on the bench.

0:25:37.320 --> 0:25:39.960
<v Speaker 2>He's playing me right now. So I thought that was hilarious.

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 2>There was a basketball game here as well. The Lakers

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:47.359
<v Speaker 2>completely smoked the Bulls thirty eight and ten for Anthony Davis.

0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Lebron went for a mere twenty five points, hitting that

0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:54.640
<v Speaker 2>over just barely. But basically, the Lakers starters dominated every

0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:56.760
<v Speaker 2>single moment that they were in the game. The bench

0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:59.160
<v Speaker 2>would come in, the Bulls would come back, but then

0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:02.959
<v Speaker 2>unfortunately the Lakers would put their starters back in. The

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Austin Reeves the too small. He just did it at

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 2>the inopportunity time. We saw the peak of the too small.

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:10.080
<v Speaker 2>But it was cool that he hit him back. There's

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:14.240
<v Speaker 2>a hilarious clip of Lebron talking about it postgame in

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:16.840
<v Speaker 2>the locker room. We're in just a towel. He says,

0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:20.119
<v Speaker 2>they asked him what it meant that Austin Reeves hit

0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:22.600
<v Speaker 2>the too small on Patrick Beverly. He says that ar

0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:25.959
<v Speaker 2>always got my back always, even though we loved Kobe

0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:28.360
<v Speaker 2>back in the day more than me, I forgive him.

0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 2>They dug them an old Austin River or Austin Reeves

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:36.560
<v Speaker 2>tweet where he basically says Kobe is better than Lebron.

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Lebron obviously is familiar with that. But I think once

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:43.760
<v Speaker 2>you too small on behalf of your teammate. Yeah, it's

0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:44.200
<v Speaker 2>all good.

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:46.639
<v Speaker 5>Ultimately, I got your back moment. What a great teammate

0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:49.760
<v Speaker 5>Austin Reeves is to make sure that he gets revenge

0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:52.400
<v Speaker 5>for Lebron too small because you know Lebron can't handle

0:26:52.480 --> 0:26:53.560
<v Speaker 5>himself apparently.

0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Exactly so you're telling me your hell knowing people at

0:26:59.000 --> 0:26:59.640
<v Speaker 2>the pickup joke.

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:01.680
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm a little disrespectful in that, for sure.

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:03.160
<v Speaker 2>You gotta be a too small guy too.

0:27:03.520 --> 0:27:05.440
<v Speaker 5>No, I've never hit anybody with a too small though.

0:27:05.600 --> 0:27:09.200
<v Speaker 2>No, never, what about this week? Maybe, Yeah, we're get in, Yeah,

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:12.919
<v Speaker 2>you gotta get it in before it's completely just shark. Yeah.

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:16.080
<v Speaker 2>In the other East Action, Nicks pulled away late to

0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:18.920
<v Speaker 2>beat the heat despite losing Julius Randall to a sprained

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:22.080
<v Speaker 2>ankle in the second quarter, and the Nets beat the

0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Rockets thanks to thirty one from Cam Johnson twenty seven

0:27:24.840 --> 0:27:27.000
<v Speaker 2>from Mikale Bridges. So let's take a quick look here

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:30.800
<v Speaker 2>at the Eastern Conference standings. They are changing all the time,

0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:34.119
<v Speaker 2>but a win for Philadelphia last night, a win for

0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:36.439
<v Speaker 2>New York last night, a win for Brooklyn last night

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:40.240
<v Speaker 2>means things basically stay the same in the top six

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:43.960
<v Speaker 2>of the Eastern Conference. Three straight losses, though for Miami

0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:46.560
<v Speaker 2>right now. If they're gonna make a run at actually

0:27:46.600 --> 0:27:48.439
<v Speaker 2>making the playoffs rather than having to go through the

0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 2>play in you gotta figure out something pretty soon because

0:27:51.560 --> 0:27:55.480
<v Speaker 2>they have been looking pretty poor. Nick's feeling kind of

0:27:55.520 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 2>bad for these guys. Little snake bit, I think ever

0:27:57.640 --> 0:27:59.920
<v Speaker 2>since they went on that wind streak. Jalen Brnson is

0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:01.679
<v Speaker 2>in and out of the lineup. He finally came back

0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:05.160
<v Speaker 2>last night, only to lose Randall to an ankle roll

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:09.160
<v Speaker 2>which poorly timed, but twenty four points from Emmanual quickly

0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:11.159
<v Speaker 2>off the bench. Hope this guy wins sixth Man of

0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:13.120
<v Speaker 2>the Year. He'll probably be my pick at the end

0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 2>of the season. Also saw that Tom Thibodeaux played five

0:28:16.040 --> 0:28:21.200
<v Speaker 2>guys the entire fourth quarter last night. Classic stuff any thoughts.

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:24.720
<v Speaker 5>On these games. Just at the Knicks losing Julius Randall,

0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:27.480
<v Speaker 5>that's a big deal. You don't want the Knicks to

0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:32.800
<v Speaker 5>Nicks when they go into the playoffs. You want them

0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:34.640
<v Speaker 5>to be as healthy as possible and one hundred percent

0:28:34.640 --> 0:28:37.840
<v Speaker 5>as possible so they can get everything together. So that's tough.

0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 5>That's a big blow for them.

0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think Randall's played every game this season. Obviously

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:45.320
<v Speaker 2>played last night but only got in a handful of

0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:48.360
<v Speaker 2>minutes before he went out, So we will see the

0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:51.000
<v Speaker 2>diagnosis today. Hopefully he's able to get back on the

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 2>court as well. Out West, though, the Thunder beat the

0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Pistons just barely on Jalen Williams game winning put back,

0:28:57.920 --> 0:29:01.520
<v Speaker 2>a near buzzer beater. Think there was point five seconds

0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:03.720
<v Speaker 2>left on the clock after you can set out a bus,

0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 2>what do'd you think.

0:29:07.200 --> 0:29:09.960
<v Speaker 3>It? Honestly, we talked about the Kings earlier. If the

0:29:10.000 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 3>Kings didn't have the season that they had, like the

0:29:12.240 --> 0:29:14.720
<v Speaker 3>feel good story of the season would be the Thunder opinion.

0:29:15.200 --> 0:29:18.960
<v Speaker 3>And you know, you would think a team that loses

0:29:19.200 --> 0:29:23.040
<v Speaker 3>a top pick in Chet Holmgren wouldn't be making any noise.

0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:25.239
<v Speaker 3>But then you got Jay dub here, who's like in

0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:28.320
<v Speaker 3>the mix for Rookie of the Year. And beyond having

0:29:28.360 --> 0:29:30.400
<v Speaker 3>like such a good season, having like really good moments

0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:31.640
<v Speaker 3>like that, I think that's the kind of thing that

0:29:31.680 --> 0:29:34.880
<v Speaker 3>you need, like a game winner like this. I don't know,

0:29:35.000 --> 0:29:37.920
<v Speaker 3>things feel good in Thunderland. We did that short a

0:29:37.960 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 3>few weeks back, where it's like it must be feel

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 3>good to feel good to be a thunder fan. And

0:29:42.920 --> 0:29:44.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's things like this that's happening this season

0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:46.400
<v Speaker 3>that's like showing it time and time again.

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, man, Jalen Williams another great game we obviously had

0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:52.360
<v Speaker 2>the game winner, finished with twenty seven points, eight rebounds,

0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:55.120
<v Speaker 2>and six assists. He just scores from all over. Takes

0:29:55.160 --> 0:29:57.560
<v Speaker 2>all kinds of different shots, a lot of dunks this season,

0:29:57.600 --> 0:29:59.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of three pointers. I've been trying to come

0:29:59.840 --> 0:30:02.120
<v Speaker 2>up with like my comparison for who he reminds me of.

0:30:03.280 --> 0:30:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Here's what I've come up with so far. Lou all

0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Dang with Swag. Like, I think they're kind of similar

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:13.600
<v Speaker 2>players in that they can guard a lot of positions.

0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:16.000
<v Speaker 2>They score from three, they score from the mid range,

0:30:16.160 --> 0:30:19.080
<v Speaker 2>they score at the rim. But Jalen Williams, I think

0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 2>has a little bit more uh, just a little more

0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:24.520
<v Speaker 2>verb than lu All Dang does. Luell Dang more of a.

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:27.080
<v Speaker 5>Workman like player. I agree with that, all right.

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Here's another one I'll throw at you. Best possible version

0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 2>of James Posey, Like James Posey more of a role guy,

0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:38.680
<v Speaker 2>but you know, h versus defender three point shooter. But

0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 2>imagine if you had a handle and could go to

0:30:40.720 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 2>the rim like Jalen Williams. Yeah, not selling you as

0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:44.400
<v Speaker 2>much on that one up.

0:30:44.560 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 5>No, Actually I might like that one better. I don't

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:48.920
<v Speaker 5>know why, but I think I like that one better.

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 2>All right, final possible comparison here Andrew Wiggins if his

0:30:53.920 --> 0:31:00.320
<v Speaker 2>best skill was savvy instead of athleticism. No to know.

0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I feel like Andrew Wiggins is a very good big

0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:08.520
<v Speaker 2>wing who kind of does it all. He's he's a

0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 2>good three point shooter, He's obviously a great dunker. He's

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:13.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of cut out the mid range of his game,

0:31:13.480 --> 0:31:14.960
<v Speaker 2>but he still got it there. He can score in

0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 2>the post. I feel very similar about Jalen Williams. Also,

0:31:19.440 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 2>they're both very versatile defenders. They hit the glass. But

0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Wiggins is a much better athlete than jadab Is whereas

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:29.440
<v Speaker 2>I think Jadab just knows how to play the game

0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:31.480
<v Speaker 2>like a ten year veteran, despite the fact that he's

0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:35.800
<v Speaker 2>only a rookie this season. So if savvy is your

0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:37.960
<v Speaker 2>calling card like it is for Jalen Williams, I kind

0:31:38.000 --> 0:31:41.000
<v Speaker 2>of think and athleticism is for Wiggins. What if you

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:44.960
<v Speaker 2>just flipped them really makes you think, really makes you okay?

0:31:46.560 --> 0:31:50.840
<v Speaker 2>In the comments, obviously Smack was the best one, but

0:31:51.920 --> 0:31:56.520
<v Speaker 2>it also the Clippers beat the Grizzlies, no Kawhi, no

0:31:56.640 --> 0:31:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Paul George. They snapped Memphis seven game win streak. So

0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:04.040
<v Speaker 2>let's take quick look at the Western Conference standings. That

0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:07.200
<v Speaker 2>was a bad loss for the Mavericks last night, cause,

0:32:07.360 --> 0:32:10.480
<v Speaker 2>coupled with the Oka See win, a full one game

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:14.560
<v Speaker 2>lead for the Thunder, the tenth seed in the Western Conference.

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Westbrook was awesome last night. Thirty six points, ten assists.

0:32:18.560 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 2>There's an incredible picture of this guy flexing on the court.

0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:24.960
<v Speaker 2>I think he got an and one maybe on jaw

0:32:25.000 --> 0:32:28.080
<v Speaker 2>and the picture is taken from above. He's flexing in

0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:30.160
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the lane and somehow he's looking right

0:32:30.200 --> 0:32:32.600
<v Speaker 2>at the camera even though it's in the ceiling. I

0:32:32.640 --> 0:32:36.200
<v Speaker 2>don't know how he did it, but Westbrook five from

0:32:36.240 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 2>three to last night. You're not counting on that every night.

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:40.640
<v Speaker 2>But the way he's pushing the pace, the way he

0:32:40.720 --> 0:32:43.800
<v Speaker 2>is in the lane all the time, has really really

0:32:43.800 --> 0:32:46.840
<v Speaker 2>worked out for the Clippers. I didn't expect that to

0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:48.760
<v Speaker 2>be the case. So I'll take an L on that

0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:52.960
<v Speaker 2>one because Westbrook definitely won them this game, and with

0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Paul George down with injury, with Kawhi doing his load management,

0:32:57.080 --> 0:33:00.040
<v Speaker 2>this is a nice win for the Clippers because we

0:33:00.120 --> 0:33:02.600
<v Speaker 2>mentioned earlier they are still in a race for potentially

0:33:02.600 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 2>getting home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:08.960
<v Speaker 2>We shall see, Jero. I was wanting to get your take.

0:33:09.000 --> 0:33:11.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you saw Dylan Brooks's pregame outfit

0:33:11.200 --> 0:33:17.600
<v Speaker 2>last night. Black bucket hat, white dresser, blackmailman, shorts at

0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:19.720
<v Speaker 2>one's point, shoes.

0:33:20.600 --> 0:33:23.479
<v Speaker 3>Right at this point, with all the different Dylan Brooks looks,

0:33:23.600 --> 0:33:26.240
<v Speaker 3>it's almost just like a silhouette that, like, I'm not

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:28.440
<v Speaker 3>able to decipher anymore. He is just trying a new

0:33:28.480 --> 0:33:31.960
<v Speaker 3>thing each time. I don't know any of them particularly hit,

0:33:33.600 --> 0:33:37.200
<v Speaker 3>but I guess I should rep as the Canadian on

0:33:37.240 --> 0:33:41.080
<v Speaker 3>the podcast looks great, honestly, killing the game, like, do

0:33:41.200 --> 0:33:44.800
<v Speaker 3>your thig, Dylan, Yeah, I think the other thing. I

0:33:44.800 --> 0:33:47.000
<v Speaker 3>also want to mention just it's so funny. We talked

0:33:47.000 --> 0:33:49.280
<v Speaker 3>about the Drew Holiday game earlier. It's like jew Holiday

0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:52.400
<v Speaker 3>fifty one points on three three pointers, Russell Westbrook thirty

0:33:52.440 --> 0:33:55.880
<v Speaker 3>one points on five three pointers. Like they took each

0:33:55.920 --> 0:33:56.880
<v Speaker 3>other's stat line.

0:33:57.480 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they kind of did. And hey, Dylan Brooks thirty

0:34:00.280 --> 0:34:02.640
<v Speaker 2>points last night, twelve to twenty four shooting, you'll take that.

0:34:03.080 --> 0:34:05.720
<v Speaker 2>I also saw that my main man, Chuck Anderson at

0:34:05.760 --> 0:34:08.719
<v Speaker 2>no pattern on Twitter. He said that Dylan Brooks his

0:34:08.800 --> 0:34:11.160
<v Speaker 2>fit looked like Beavis and butt Head from the waist,

0:34:13.000 --> 0:34:16.000
<v Speaker 2>which I thought was awesome. JD. Let's see this playoff

0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:20.239
<v Speaker 2>picture real quick. Things are changing every night, so we're

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:23.240
<v Speaker 2>looking at the matchups here. Play in tournament is staying

0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:25.319
<v Speaker 2>the same. In the Eastern Conference right now, would be

0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:28.160
<v Speaker 2>the Heat versus the Hawks, and the seven eight matchup

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.359
<v Speaker 2>Raptors Bulls. In nine ten. Out West, it would be

0:34:31.560 --> 0:34:33.840
<v Speaker 2>the timber Wolves after their loss last night, would be

0:34:33.880 --> 0:34:37.080
<v Speaker 2>playing against the Lakers, who moved up a slot. That's

0:34:37.080 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 2>the seven eight matchup. Nine ten would be Pelicans versus Thunder,

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:44.279
<v Speaker 2>and then we've got some four or fives, some three sixes. Ash,

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:46.840
<v Speaker 2>you're looking at the playoff picture. If the playoffs started today,

0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:48.879
<v Speaker 2>which they do not, we still got a week left

0:34:48.880 --> 0:34:51.480
<v Speaker 2>of the regular season. What kind of first round matchups

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:52.440
<v Speaker 2>are you interested in here?

0:34:52.880 --> 0:34:59.120
<v Speaker 5>If the playoffs started today, I think the Warriors Kings

0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 5>series would be pretty Oh yeah, I think it'd be

0:35:01.239 --> 0:35:05.040
<v Speaker 5>a test, obviously to see where the Warriors are, see

0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:07.279
<v Speaker 5>if they are back to being the Warriors or not,

0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:09.440
<v Speaker 5>or if they're just going to be this mediocre Warrior

0:35:09.520 --> 0:35:11.879
<v Speaker 5>team that we've seen, and especially starting on the road,

0:35:12.239 --> 0:35:14.000
<v Speaker 5>see if they could even take one on the road.

0:35:14.040 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 5>They always do, right, since they've always taken.

0:35:16.880 --> 0:35:19.040
<v Speaker 2>One, Yeah, they always have at least.

0:35:19.440 --> 0:35:21.600
<v Speaker 5>So that matchup would be pretty good just to see.

0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I think what you think, Jerome, what you're looking at here,

0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:25.960
<v Speaker 2>it is Warriors Kings.

0:35:26.000 --> 0:35:30.480
<v Speaker 3>Also for me, I kind of wish that the rankings

0:35:30.560 --> 0:35:32.720
<v Speaker 3>reverse that, like the Warriors were in the three spot,

0:35:32.800 --> 0:35:36.960
<v Speaker 3>because it would almost feel like the Sacramento Kings were

0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:39.880
<v Speaker 3>the twenty twenty three we believe Warriors going against the

0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:43.960
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty three Golden State Warriors. Just there's just like

0:35:44.000 --> 0:35:46.760
<v Speaker 3>an element there that like it's such a great story,

0:35:47.000 --> 0:35:51.920
<v Speaker 3>and yeah, like it's such an interesting like this juncture

0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:54.000
<v Speaker 3>if the playoffs are today or even in a couple

0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:56.759
<v Speaker 3>of weeks, like where both of these teams are at,

0:35:56.840 --> 0:35:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Like where the Golden State Warriors are. They're defending champions,

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:02.040
<v Speaker 3>but like do they have enough in the tank? Will

0:36:02.080 --> 0:36:05.000
<v Speaker 3>they be healthy enough to carry through? It seems like

0:36:05.040 --> 0:36:06.759
<v Speaker 3>they should be able to handle the Kings, but you

0:36:06.840 --> 0:36:11.759
<v Speaker 3>never know at this point. And so yeah, that's really

0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:13.440
<v Speaker 3>the one, Like you want to follow the Kings as

0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:15.520
<v Speaker 3>far as they go, and the fact that they're going

0:36:15.520 --> 0:36:17.520
<v Speaker 3>against the defending champs is going to be such an

0:36:17.920 --> 0:36:19.480
<v Speaker 3>interesting test in the first round.

0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Gonna be a spicy time. Can't wait to see. But

0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean we got five or six games left for

0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:28.200
<v Speaker 2>every team. That's can all completely change. Yes, we shall see.

0:36:28.320 --> 0:36:31.359
<v Speaker 2>We talked games, we'll talk news after the break. Stick

0:36:31.400 --> 0:36:35.239
<v Speaker 2>around back with no dunks during the break as she

0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:38.719
<v Speaker 2>came clean. Yeah you told me, Yes, indeed I have

0:36:38.800 --> 0:36:41.040
<v Speaker 2>too small to someone once upon a time, but in

0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:41.640
<v Speaker 2>a different way.

0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:43.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, in a whole different way, because I always hit

0:36:43.280 --> 0:36:45.560
<v Speaker 5>people with the oh you're too small, Tom and Jerry,

0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:48.200
<v Speaker 5>Tom and Jerry, or even if you're too big, Tom

0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:51.160
<v Speaker 5>and Jerry, that's the mismatch, and that's what we're working with.

0:36:51.520 --> 0:36:54.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to work that into my lexicon as well,

0:36:54.400 --> 0:36:58.200
<v Speaker 2>cause Stacy King on the Balls broadcast, he's always calling

0:36:58.200 --> 0:37:00.799
<v Speaker 2>out mouse in the house. Yeah, that's a classic Tom

0:37:00.800 --> 0:37:02.640
<v Speaker 2>and Jerry takes it to the next level. Yeah, what

0:37:02.680 --> 0:37:04.440
<v Speaker 2>about you, Jerome? You e were too small somebody.

0:37:05.640 --> 0:37:08.680
<v Speaker 3>It's very rare that I am bigger than someone on

0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:09.840
<v Speaker 3>the basketball.

0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:12.359
<v Speaker 2>I think.

0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:16.560
<v Speaker 3>I do remember one time I had to guard someone

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:19.920
<v Speaker 3>just far bigger than me and and they were posting

0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:21.680
<v Speaker 3>me up NonStop, and I really had no shot at

0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:23.440
<v Speaker 3>doing anything. So the only thing I could do was

0:37:23.480 --> 0:37:26.920
<v Speaker 3>really play the mind game, and I just every time

0:37:26.960 --> 0:37:28.680
<v Speaker 3>you started backing in, I just started singing Love in

0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:32.719
<v Speaker 3>this club. By sure, I'm very uncomfortable with that. It

0:37:32.840 --> 0:37:35.480
<v Speaker 3>really threw him off his game and uh, you know,

0:37:36.640 --> 0:37:39.160
<v Speaker 3>not not getting no bunnies for them at that point.

0:37:39.520 --> 0:37:41.120
<v Speaker 5>Mind games, Jerome, I love it.

0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:41.920
<v Speaker 4>Mind games.

0:37:42.800 --> 0:37:45.879
<v Speaker 2>I would start thinking about not basketball. If someone's singing

0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:47.880
<v Speaker 2>I want to make love in the club and the

0:37:47.920 --> 0:38:00.560
<v Speaker 2>post up, well, that's in the updown report. A lot

0:38:00.560 --> 0:38:03.640
<v Speaker 2>of news, some topics that you guys and we will

0:38:03.960 --> 0:38:06.040
<v Speaker 2>say if they're good or bad upper down. According to

0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:10.120
<v Speaker 2>ESPN's Adrian Wojanowski, Dwayne Wade, Dirk Novitsky, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker,

0:38:10.120 --> 0:38:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Becky Hammond, and Greg Popovich have all been elected into

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:17.360
<v Speaker 2>the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty three,

0:38:17.640 --> 0:38:20.080
<v Speaker 2>with a formal announcement expected to come with the Final

0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:24.799
<v Speaker 2>Four in Houston this weekend. Pretty good class, but is

0:38:24.840 --> 0:38:27.600
<v Speaker 2>it the best ever? Up or down? Twenty twenty three

0:38:27.600 --> 0:38:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame class is the best ever? What you think?

0:38:30.239 --> 0:38:36.879
<v Speaker 5>Esh, I'll god out, m down, I'll go down.

0:38:37.040 --> 0:38:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay? Why is that?

0:38:38.040 --> 0:38:39.239
<v Speaker 5>Okay? I don't know.

0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:46.800
<v Speaker 2>That's a good reason. I mean, these are great players, Yes,

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:49.759
<v Speaker 2>these are all great players. Dwayne Wade three titles, Dirk

0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:53.160
<v Speaker 2>one title, Pow two titles, Tony Parker four, Pop five,

0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Becky Hammond defending w NBA Champion coach. But we're not

0:38:58.560 --> 0:39:01.000
<v Speaker 2>talking about any of the top five player of all times.

0:39:01.520 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 2>That's really why I like holding you back.

0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:05.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's really why, because I came here wanting to

0:39:05.760 --> 0:39:07.239
<v Speaker 5>say uh, but then I got to thinking, I'm like,

0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:10.680
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I just feel like when Jordan went in,

0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:14.040
<v Speaker 5>That's that's kind of is Michael Jordan, you know, is like.

0:39:14.080 --> 0:39:16.920
<v Speaker 3>The Jordan year. I do have it. So two thousand

0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:19.640
<v Speaker 3>and nine we have Jordan, David Robinson, Jerry Sloan and

0:39:19.680 --> 0:39:22.239
<v Speaker 3>John Stockton as like four of the big names in there.

0:39:22.320 --> 0:39:23.520
<v Speaker 5>And you see what I'm.

0:39:23.360 --> 0:39:26.040
<v Speaker 3>Saying, that is a good one. I also have the

0:39:26.040 --> 0:39:30.720
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty Kobe Tamika Catchings, Tim Duncan, KG and Rugi

0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Tom Johanovic class, which I feel that's stacked.

0:39:35.080 --> 0:39:36.160
<v Speaker 5>That's the best one right there.

0:39:36.320 --> 0:39:37.800
<v Speaker 3>I think that's the best one in my opinion.

0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:40.680
<v Speaker 5>See that's the reason I went down Jerome, have my back.

0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:42.000
<v Speaker 5>Thanks man, I got you.

0:39:42.040 --> 0:39:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Because you like the twenty twenty class doesn't mean you

0:39:43.880 --> 0:39:44.960
<v Speaker 2>can't like the twenty twenty two.

0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:45.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you're right.

0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:49.399
<v Speaker 2>I like three classes as well. To me, a lot

0:39:49.440 --> 0:39:53.280
<v Speaker 2>of my personal favorites and this one, like I've got Dirk,

0:39:53.440 --> 0:39:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Wade and Pole probably all in like my top ten

0:39:56.120 --> 0:39:58.600
<v Speaker 2>favorite players to ever watch in the NBA. So I

0:39:58.640 --> 0:40:00.719
<v Speaker 2>love this class. But if you're talk talking about like

0:40:00.840 --> 0:40:04.200
<v Speaker 2>career achievements rankings on the all time list, it probably

0:40:04.239 --> 0:40:08.960
<v Speaker 2>is more so similar to twenty eighteen, which was Jason Kidd,

0:40:09.120 --> 0:40:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Steve Nash, Ray Allen and Grant Hill. A lot of

0:40:11.800 --> 0:40:16.879
<v Speaker 2>incredible players some MVPs, but you know, like we're saying,

0:40:16.960 --> 0:40:20.040
<v Speaker 2>not a Michael Jordan or a Shack making the list

0:40:20.080 --> 0:40:23.120
<v Speaker 2>that kind of thing. But should be a really fun class, uh,

0:40:23.520 --> 0:40:26.240
<v Speaker 2>really looking forward to the speeches. Wade should be interesting.

0:40:26.400 --> 0:40:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure pau Gasol will be a tear jerker, and

0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Dirk probably will be one of the funnier speeches we've

0:40:31.600 --> 0:40:33.279
<v Speaker 2>seen in a long time. Yash, who do you think

0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:36.680
<v Speaker 2>they let give the final speech of the night. It's

0:40:36.719 --> 0:40:39.479
<v Speaker 2>gonna be between Wade, Dirk and Powell. You would think

0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:42.239
<v Speaker 2>who's like the biggest name of those?

0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:48.520
<v Speaker 5>Hmmm, probably Dwayne Wade. Yeah, probably so I probably probably

0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:49.960
<v Speaker 5>be Dwayne Wade getting the last one.

0:40:50.120 --> 0:40:54.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Dwayne Wade is probably the biggest name. How we'll

0:40:54.600 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 3>always have the Kobe Association, so there's a chance that

0:40:57.760 --> 0:40:58.680
<v Speaker 3>we cloth zone on that.

0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let us know down below in the comments. Tweet

0:41:02.440 --> 0:41:04.520
<v Speaker 2>at us what's the best Hall of Fame class of

0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:06.000
<v Speaker 2>all time? And who do you think is going to

0:41:06.600 --> 0:41:09.600
<v Speaker 2>actually give the keynote address of the evening? Because that's

0:41:09.600 --> 0:41:12.799
<v Speaker 2>always interesting to see. Moving on, Variety reported this week

0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:16.360
<v Speaker 2>that Charles Barkley and the world's most famous Gail Gail

0:41:16.440 --> 0:41:19.400
<v Speaker 2>King or finalizing a deal that could see the pair

0:41:19.520 --> 0:41:24.600
<v Speaker 2>co hosting a weekly primetime show on CNN. Nothing's finalized yet,

0:41:24.920 --> 0:41:27.680
<v Speaker 2>but it seems like something could get done in time

0:41:28.080 --> 0:41:30.600
<v Speaker 2>for the False Slate Jerome, are you up or down

0:41:30.640 --> 0:41:33.600
<v Speaker 2>on Charles Barkley hosting a primetime CNN show?

0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:38.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm love for Charles Barkley hosting anything, but then CNN show.

0:41:38.160 --> 0:41:40.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm just I'm here, like.

0:41:39.920 --> 0:41:43.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I don't secret option with U.

0:41:43.560 --> 0:41:48.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just you gotta imagine, like Charles Barkley and media,

0:41:49.000 --> 0:41:51.160
<v Speaker 3>it just feels like a ringer in any situation. But

0:41:51.600 --> 0:41:54.239
<v Speaker 3>I need more information at what's going on here. I

0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:57.759
<v Speaker 3>don't know. I really just don't know what it's gonna happen.

0:41:57.800 --> 0:41:58.640
<v Speaker 3>But I believe in Chuck.

0:41:58.800 --> 0:42:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I saw some reporting that it might be like

0:42:01.480 --> 0:42:05.240
<v Speaker 2>a Larry King Live sort of deal where it's like Chuck,

0:42:06.160 --> 0:42:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Chuck and Gail old friends for Winfrey Show back in

0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:11.799
<v Speaker 2>the day. Literally they met on the show like in

0:42:11.840 --> 0:42:13.600
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and five or something like that, and they've

0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:17.160
<v Speaker 2>become friends ever since. And Charles says, I'm only even

0:42:17.239 --> 0:42:19.920
<v Speaker 2>considering this because of my respect for Gail King. But

0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:23.000
<v Speaker 2>they might do like celebrity interviews or something like that.

0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:25.919
<v Speaker 2>I saw they ask Barkley if he would ever do

0:42:26.120 --> 0:42:29.200
<v Speaker 2>like a daily news show. He said, that is never

0:42:29.280 --> 0:42:32.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna happen. You will never get me working every single day,

0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:35.440
<v Speaker 2>which one hundred percent respect. What about you, Ashley? Up

0:42:35.480 --> 0:42:37.960
<v Speaker 2>or down on this Chuck Show? Tune in?

0:42:38.120 --> 0:42:40.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? Yeah, just because it's Chuck, Just because it's Chuck

0:42:40.719 --> 0:42:43.600
<v Speaker 5>worth checking out, you know. He just says whatever he

0:42:43.640 --> 0:42:44.480
<v Speaker 5>wants to do all the time.

0:42:44.840 --> 0:42:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and.

0:42:46.840 --> 0:42:48.520
<v Speaker 5>Everybody either loves their hate day and he's like, I

0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:50.279
<v Speaker 5>don't care and he keeps going and just I think

0:42:50.280 --> 0:42:53.640
<v Speaker 5>you guys talked about it yesterday, right, So absolutely, Yeah,

0:42:53.800 --> 0:42:54.680
<v Speaker 5>I'm always up on Chuck.

0:42:54.760 --> 0:42:57.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if he shoots from

0:42:57.360 --> 0:43:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the hip quite as often as he does with regards

0:43:00.239 --> 0:43:03.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, to pop culture politics as much as he

0:43:03.400 --> 0:43:06.160
<v Speaker 2>does about basketball. We shall see you, JD. Are you

0:43:06.160 --> 0:43:10.080
<v Speaker 2>interested at all in Charles Barkley's non basketball takes?

0:43:11.000 --> 0:43:14.399
<v Speaker 4>Very very interested? I like you guys, I'm a huge

0:43:14.400 --> 0:43:17.920
<v Speaker 4>fan of Chuck. He was my favorite, he still is

0:43:17.920 --> 0:43:21.600
<v Speaker 4>my favorite inside guy. He was probably the nicest to

0:43:21.680 --> 0:43:26.080
<v Speaker 4>us outside of Ernie Sure, and he's just he's just great.

0:43:26.200 --> 0:43:30.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm curious to see the chemistry between him and Gail King, like, uh,

0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:34.880
<v Speaker 4>just trying her trying to rein him in and corral him.

0:43:35.480 --> 0:43:38.359
<v Speaker 4>It's going to be just great television, I think so.

0:43:38.640 --> 0:43:40.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm one hundred percent up.

0:43:40.480 --> 0:43:42.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I message Kevin Durant, he said he was down

0:43:42.880 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 2>on this.

0:43:45.520 --> 0:43:47.879
<v Speaker 3>Kevin Durant, Scott a goal on this show. That's the key.

0:43:48.200 --> 0:43:50.520
<v Speaker 3>Like for this to be like a real up, Katie

0:43:50.520 --> 0:43:52.680
<v Speaker 3>needs to get on and then Jordan needs to get

0:43:52.680 --> 0:43:56.000
<v Speaker 3>on for two sit downs. That's that's the premiere.

0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:59.120
<v Speaker 2>This part cop bad cop thing. Gail is super kind

0:43:59.120 --> 0:44:03.279
<v Speaker 2>to everybody, you know, Barnes riling them up. I can

0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:05.960
<v Speaker 2>see it happening. On a recent episode of All the Smoke,

0:44:06.040 --> 0:44:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Isaiah Thomas called out his longtime nemesis Michael Jordan, as

0:44:10.000 --> 0:44:12.520
<v Speaker 2>he said to Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. Quote, you

0:44:12.600 --> 0:44:14.880
<v Speaker 2>got on national television and you called me an asshole,

0:44:15.239 --> 0:44:18.120
<v Speaker 2>and then you said you hated me. That's what Isaiah

0:44:18.160 --> 0:44:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Thomas said of Michael Jordan. You said that on national television,

0:44:21.320 --> 0:44:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Zeke continued. Now if you didn't mean it, get on

0:44:23.960 --> 0:44:27.160
<v Speaker 2>national television and apologize for it. Now, if you meant it,

0:44:27.760 --> 0:44:30.879
<v Speaker 2>let it ride as it is. Jerome up or down

0:44:31.080 --> 0:44:33.959
<v Speaker 2>on Michael Jordan ever apologizing to Isaiah Thomas.

0:44:34.480 --> 0:44:36.160
<v Speaker 3>Wait up on never apologizing?

0:44:36.520 --> 0:44:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Do you think he will apologize?

0:44:38.520 --> 0:44:39.239
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely not.

0:44:39.480 --> 0:44:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I do believe you.

0:44:41.880 --> 0:44:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Will Let this one ride it As we talked about

0:44:45.600 --> 0:44:47.920
<v Speaker 3>best Hall of Fame class ever, best Hall of Fame

0:44:48.000 --> 0:44:50.840
<v Speaker 3>speech ever, Michael Jordan, what about that speech? Told you

0:44:50.880 --> 0:44:52.840
<v Speaker 3>he was ever going to apologize for anything?

0:44:53.640 --> 0:44:58.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, exactly right. I mean maybe you get it.

0:44:58.400 --> 0:45:00.399
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you get them both on the gale.

0:45:00.640 --> 0:45:01.160
<v Speaker 5>So there you go.

0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:03.480
<v Speaker 2>It's a soft landing spot, right. Yeah, what do you

0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:05.799
<v Speaker 2>think as you think Michael Jordan will ever apologize?

0:45:05.880 --> 0:45:08.360
<v Speaker 5>That will never happen. That will never happen, and he

0:45:08.440 --> 0:45:10.160
<v Speaker 5>shouldn't either, by the way.

0:45:10.360 --> 0:45:12.959
<v Speaker 2>No, yeah you don't think enough time is past?

0:45:13.520 --> 0:45:19.320
<v Speaker 5>No, I mean I mean yes, but like Jordan is Jordan,

0:45:19.480 --> 0:45:21.759
<v Speaker 5>and if you don't like him, that's fine. Like they

0:45:21.800 --> 0:45:25.480
<v Speaker 5>are grown old man grown, like there's no reason he's Isaiah's.

0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:29.320
<v Speaker 5>Isaiah Thomas is still talking about I need an apology,

0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:31.840
<v Speaker 5>quit being in an asshole to me and like for

0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:33.960
<v Speaker 5>what like you know, like they if they don't like

0:45:34.000 --> 0:45:35.480
<v Speaker 5>each other, you don't have to like each other. Just

0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:37.279
<v Speaker 5>because you both played in the NBA does not mean

0:45:37.280 --> 0:45:38.799
<v Speaker 5>that you have to be cool with each other. So

0:45:40.640 --> 0:45:41.080
<v Speaker 5>shut up.

0:45:41.719 --> 0:45:43.960
<v Speaker 2>People have enemies out there, that's not true. You ever

0:45:44.000 --> 0:45:44.840
<v Speaker 2>held a grudge like this?

0:45:45.200 --> 0:45:48.279
<v Speaker 5>No, I'm a forgiver, man. I forgive everybody like you

0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:50.000
<v Speaker 5>could do the worst thing to me and I'm like,

0:45:50.000 --> 0:45:52.600
<v Speaker 5>come on, man, let's go grab lunch. That's that's me.

0:45:53.920 --> 0:45:55.879
<v Speaker 2>I like that. That's maturity right there. And that's why

0:45:55.880 --> 0:45:59.040
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about basketball instead of playing it professionally. Well

0:45:59.040 --> 0:46:00.920
<v Speaker 2>about you, Jeremi. All of the grudge like.

0:46:00.840 --> 0:46:04.839
<v Speaker 3>This, No, not at all, not even closed. If someone

0:46:04.920 --> 0:46:06.239
<v Speaker 3>too small on me, I'd be like, you know what,

0:46:06.280 --> 0:46:06.960
<v Speaker 3>you are taller?

0:46:07.239 --> 0:46:13.040
<v Speaker 2>It's me personally. Yeah. I hold grudges like this all

0:46:13.080 --> 0:46:15.719
<v Speaker 2>the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just can't reveal who

0:46:15.719 --> 0:46:23.600
<v Speaker 2>they are because someday they may hire us BacT. Anyways,

0:46:23.640 --> 0:46:26.520
<v Speaker 2>let's talk food because there's a new restaurant opening in Toronto.

0:46:26.719 --> 0:46:31.239
<v Speaker 2>NBA court Side literally a basketball themed restaurant run by

0:46:31.239 --> 0:46:35.200
<v Speaker 2>the NBA. There's basketball art and memorabilia all over the place,

0:46:35.560 --> 0:46:39.200
<v Speaker 2>a merch store, tables made from courts, basically all the

0:46:39.200 --> 0:46:42.080
<v Speaker 2>stuff that makes NBA court Side quote kind of like

0:46:42.120 --> 0:46:45.000
<v Speaker 2>a hard Rock Cafe for the NBA as Blog to

0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:48.880
<v Speaker 2>put it in their preview of the restaurant. Jerrell, you

0:46:49.040 --> 0:46:51.480
<v Speaker 2>up or down on the NBA court side restaurant?

0:46:52.719 --> 0:46:55.720
<v Speaker 3>I have to be up. I live in a country

0:46:55.760 --> 0:47:00.480
<v Speaker 3>that is predominantly based in hockey. I have struggles throughout

0:47:00.520 --> 0:47:03.440
<v Speaker 3>my entire life going to bars and asking them to

0:47:03.520 --> 0:47:06.319
<v Speaker 3>put on the Raptor game, let alone an NBA games.

0:47:06.400 --> 0:47:08.720
<v Speaker 3>So if you're going to give me any dedicated space

0:47:09.239 --> 0:47:11.640
<v Speaker 3>for the sport that I love, I'm going to have

0:47:11.680 --> 0:47:12.359
<v Speaker 3>to be up on that.

0:47:13.280 --> 0:47:16.279
<v Speaker 5>What do you think, Ash, Yeah, I think it's really cool.

0:47:16.320 --> 0:47:20.439
<v Speaker 5>I'm up on it. It looked awesome, it looks pretty cool. Yeah,

0:47:20.480 --> 0:47:22.880
<v Speaker 5>I would love to go. I love stuff like that. Obviously,

0:47:23.719 --> 0:47:26.200
<v Speaker 5>in Orlando, they used to have something called NBA City Restaurant,

0:47:26.200 --> 0:47:28.680
<v Speaker 5>and it was not as cool as this one on Toronto,

0:47:29.000 --> 0:47:30.920
<v Speaker 5>but it was pretty cool. They always had They had

0:47:30.920 --> 0:47:33.600
<v Speaker 5>like a core outside you could shoot on, had all

0:47:33.600 --> 0:47:35.560
<v Speaker 5>the merchandise, and it was a restaurant to you go

0:47:35.600 --> 0:47:38.600
<v Speaker 5>in there and watch games. See. NBA TV was always on,

0:47:39.120 --> 0:47:41.319
<v Speaker 5>so it was cool. Yeah, I would love it. I'm

0:47:41.360 --> 0:47:41.680
<v Speaker 5>up on it.

0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:43.319
<v Speaker 2>NBA TV they used to have a great show. I

0:47:43.320 --> 0:47:47.200
<v Speaker 2>remember a really good show from twenty thirteen to twenty nineteen.

0:47:47.239 --> 0:47:48.239
<v Speaker 5>I used to watch it every day.

0:47:48.239 --> 0:47:52.200
<v Speaker 2>That was a great show. I love that show. Show

0:47:52.239 --> 0:47:54.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot better to be quitted on us. So I

0:47:54.360 --> 0:47:56.440
<v Speaker 2>don't know if they are going to be live streaming

0:47:56.480 --> 0:47:59.440
<v Speaker 2>from YouTube, but I know they got YouTube up there.

0:48:00.360 --> 0:48:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Feel free to throw it on. Jerome. I think you

0:48:02.640 --> 0:48:04.040
<v Speaker 2>said that you had a friend who actually got to

0:48:04.080 --> 0:48:04.480
<v Speaker 2>check out.

0:48:04.800 --> 0:48:07.160
<v Speaker 3>I knew some people who got to get the early

0:48:07.239 --> 0:48:11.239
<v Speaker 3>look at it, and so up on the environment, in

0:48:11.280 --> 0:48:14.279
<v Speaker 3>the atmosphere, middle to down maybe on the food, but

0:48:14.360 --> 0:48:16.879
<v Speaker 3>I guess like maybe that's not what you're really going

0:48:16.920 --> 0:48:20.560
<v Speaker 3>to a sports themed bar for, so you're not worried

0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:24.279
<v Speaker 3>too much. But no, they said the experience is really cool.

0:48:24.560 --> 0:48:27.839
<v Speaker 3>The retail areas up in the front, and then as

0:48:27.880 --> 0:48:29.840
<v Speaker 3>you move back, it's kind of going through like the

0:48:29.840 --> 0:48:32.920
<v Speaker 3>player journey, So they have like college artifacts in one section,

0:48:33.080 --> 0:48:36.279
<v Speaker 3>moving to the league itself. Some of the tables are

0:48:36.280 --> 0:48:40.160
<v Speaker 3>made out of like actual courts from like previous like

0:48:40.280 --> 0:48:43.359
<v Speaker 3>historical games, and then I think they have a lounge area,

0:48:43.360 --> 0:48:45.799
<v Speaker 3>like a ninety plus lounge area afterwards, so it is

0:48:45.840 --> 0:48:48.960
<v Speaker 3>like a real like journey through the NBA. And yeah,

0:48:49.000 --> 0:48:51.279
<v Speaker 3>I think, like just all the easter eggs that you're

0:48:51.320 --> 0:48:54.120
<v Speaker 3>gonna have when you're like going to it, like they're opening,

0:48:54.400 --> 0:48:58.520
<v Speaker 3>I think about the playoffs, So it couldn't be better timing,

0:48:59.840 --> 0:49:01.719
<v Speaker 3>and so yeah, I'll probably have to check it out

0:49:01.719 --> 0:49:02.200
<v Speaker 3>at some point.

0:49:02.280 --> 0:49:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we absolutely need a Jerome report. I think said

0:49:05.000 --> 0:49:07.840
<v Speaker 2>on the website that reservations and walk ins are available

0:49:07.880 --> 0:49:12.439
<v Speaker 2>as of April third, which is Monday. And you mentioned, yeah,

0:49:12.440 --> 0:49:15.279
<v Speaker 2>there's like cool little NBA Easter eggs all over the place.

0:49:15.320 --> 0:49:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Coolest one I saw looking at the previews and stuff

0:49:18.880 --> 0:49:22.160
<v Speaker 2>was this piece of art that's modeled on the Kawhi

0:49:22.239 --> 0:49:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Leonard four bounced game winner. It's got the ball kind

0:49:26.320 --> 0:49:30.320
<v Speaker 2>of tracing the path way up into the air, rattling

0:49:30.360 --> 0:49:32.080
<v Speaker 2>around the rim and dropping through. I think that looks

0:49:32.120 --> 0:49:34.400
<v Speaker 2>really cool. And yeah, I was actually kind of surprised

0:49:34.400 --> 0:49:39.480
<v Speaker 2>by the menu. Jerome. I guess Top Chief Canada slash

0:49:39.560 --> 0:49:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Chopped Canada winner Erica Carbelnick did the menu. There's some

0:49:44.239 --> 0:49:46.600
<v Speaker 2>interesting looking stuff on there, but not a lot of

0:49:46.760 --> 0:49:50.200
<v Speaker 2>NBA puns, you know what. I'm what I'm looking at

0:49:50.200 --> 0:49:55.680
<v Speaker 2>an NBA run restaurant. I'm expecting there to be I don't.

0:49:55.440 --> 0:49:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Know Stepan Marbury.

0:49:57.600 --> 0:50:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah exactly, like something like Ye there was like a

0:50:00.600 --> 0:50:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Mavericks Margarita or something like that. It was like the

0:50:04.000 --> 0:50:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Magations or something like that. But uh, yeah, I'm struggling

0:50:08.400 --> 0:50:08.840
<v Speaker 2>right now.

0:50:08.719 --> 0:50:11.480
<v Speaker 3>For it's a compo boy exactly.

0:50:11.600 --> 0:50:14.640
<v Speaker 2>They don't have that, yes, yeah, but maybe they will.

0:50:14.800 --> 0:50:18.120
<v Speaker 2>We shall see. I'm looking forward to your report, Jerome.

0:50:18.560 --> 0:50:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Question I had for you, j D. If this is

0:50:22.120 --> 0:50:24.799
<v Speaker 2>the hard rock cafe for the NBA, I know you're

0:50:24.800 --> 0:50:25.960
<v Speaker 2>a big time hard rock cafe.

0:50:28.239 --> 0:50:29.000
<v Speaker 4>Definitely not a fan.

0:50:29.080 --> 0:50:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of grudges, Yeah, you absolutely first one in Toronto,

0:50:33.239 --> 0:50:35.680
<v Speaker 2>I get it. That's where they played the first NBA

0:50:35.800 --> 0:50:37.040
<v Speaker 2>game back in the day. I saw there was a

0:50:37.040 --> 0:50:39.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of memorabilia for that. Where will the next one be?

0:50:41.200 --> 0:50:46.640
<v Speaker 4>Oh that's a good question. The next so the let's

0:50:46.719 --> 0:50:51.000
<v Speaker 4>assume that it's successful, which it will be because Toronto

0:50:51.040 --> 0:50:54.240
<v Speaker 4>is a big basketball town. Now, uh, New York City

0:50:54.880 --> 0:50:59.279
<v Speaker 4>has to be. Yeah, right next to the Garden, that's

0:50:59.280 --> 0:51:00.000
<v Speaker 4>where the next one to go.

0:51:00.120 --> 0:51:02.840
<v Speaker 2>It's a great call. They also had that property like

0:51:02.880 --> 0:51:05.839
<v Speaker 2>for their NBA store on Fifth Avenue or whatever like that,

0:51:05.960 --> 0:51:06.560
<v Speaker 2>So yeah.

0:51:06.400 --> 0:51:09.919
<v Speaker 4>That is fair. Is that closed down? Then the NBA

0:51:10.000 --> 0:51:10.840
<v Speaker 4>star on fifth.

0:51:12.360 --> 0:51:15.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I'm unsure on that. It definitely could be. Nonetheless,

0:51:16.200 --> 0:51:18.280
<v Speaker 2>we'll definitely go to one of these at some point

0:51:18.360 --> 0:51:20.480
<v Speaker 2>and probably make a short out of it. I want

0:51:20.520 --> 0:51:22.880
<v Speaker 2>to ask you one more thing about Toronto, Jerome. I

0:51:22.960 --> 0:51:25.399
<v Speaker 2>know you went to Will Lou and Alex Wong's live

0:51:25.400 --> 0:51:27.719
<v Speaker 2>show with Bobby Webster yesterday. How was it?

0:51:27.719 --> 0:51:30.479
<v Speaker 3>It was really good? Yeah, shout out to the guys

0:51:30.520 --> 0:51:32.960
<v Speaker 3>the Raptors Show, friends of the show. They put on

0:51:33.080 --> 0:51:38.040
<v Speaker 3>an awesome live show, had Raptors GM Bobby Webster on

0:51:38.200 --> 0:51:41.680
<v Speaker 3>with them and surprisingly candid for a GM like we

0:51:41.680 --> 0:51:45.160
<v Speaker 3>weren't given anything that was like leak worthy or anything

0:51:45.160 --> 0:51:47.680
<v Speaker 3>that way, but they talked a lot about like draft process,

0:51:47.719 --> 0:51:49.799
<v Speaker 3>a little bit about the Kauhi trade, a little bit

0:51:49.840 --> 0:51:53.239
<v Speaker 3>about all their thought process of Vision six to nine,

0:51:53.280 --> 0:51:58.080
<v Speaker 3>things like that. My favorite takeaway was during the Raptor's bubble,

0:51:58.280 --> 0:52:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Bobby Webster became the Fecto Espresso person. He brought his

0:52:02.040 --> 0:52:04.600
<v Speaker 3>own machine. He made coffee for everyone, and so the

0:52:04.680 --> 0:52:07.560
<v Speaker 3>guys asked him, who are like the coffee freaks of

0:52:07.680 --> 0:52:10.560
<v Speaker 3>the Raptors And he had Marcus sol up there a

0:52:10.560 --> 0:52:16.319
<v Speaker 3>big like double espresso bitter black coffee guy. Uh, But

0:52:16.400 --> 0:52:19.080
<v Speaker 3>the one that I really loved and took away was

0:52:19.360 --> 0:52:24.480
<v Speaker 3>Tyler hansbro Psycho t two espresso shots pre game. Every

0:52:24.560 --> 0:52:26.359
<v Speaker 3>game explains a time.

0:52:26.719 --> 0:52:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that explains why I never blinked. Yeah, he never

0:52:30.280 --> 0:52:31.919
<v Speaker 2>closed his eyes for forty eight minutes.

0:52:32.000 --> 0:52:33.359
<v Speaker 3>Incapable of closing eyes?

0:52:33.440 --> 0:52:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so what I mean? I don't know. I guess

0:52:37.040 --> 0:52:38.320
<v Speaker 2>once he got into the NBA he was kind of

0:52:38.320 --> 0:52:41.160
<v Speaker 2>a grown man. Yeah, he was dominant college player. He

0:52:41.239 --> 0:52:44.680
<v Speaker 2>must have been doing like four or five shots before

0:52:44.719 --> 0:52:49.040
<v Speaker 2>of those ones going completely wild. Great report. Love those guys.

0:52:49.360 --> 0:52:52.239
<v Speaker 2>Got one last little piece of news to talk about here.

0:52:52.280 --> 0:52:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Stephen no Over at the Sporting News put out a

0:52:54.840 --> 0:52:58.600
<v Speaker 2>great piece this week titled the NBA is all in

0:52:58.760 --> 0:53:03.560
<v Speaker 2>on Anime. Why Basketball's biggest stars are obsessed with dragon ball, Z,

0:53:04.040 --> 0:53:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Narudo and more. Jerome, I know you know Anime. I

0:53:10.000 --> 0:53:12.920
<v Speaker 2>know you know Anime A little bit. I know basically nothing.

0:53:13.160 --> 0:53:16.200
<v Speaker 2>I just learned how to pronounce sand Wait. I'm watching out.

0:53:17.760 --> 0:53:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Yah.

0:53:19.880 --> 0:53:23.120
<v Speaker 2>I gotta learn. I gotta learn so I can understand

0:53:23.120 --> 0:53:26.680
<v Speaker 2>these references and know how to pronounce these names when

0:53:26.680 --> 0:53:28.400
<v Speaker 2>I see them on tweets, because I see them on

0:53:28.440 --> 0:53:30.400
<v Speaker 2>tweets all the time. So, Jerome, I need you to

0:53:30.480 --> 0:53:33.800
<v Speaker 2>hit me with your top five animes for NBA siccos

0:53:36.480 --> 0:53:41.160
<v Speaker 2>top five, top five, top five, top five, top five,

0:53:41.239 --> 0:53:45.720
<v Speaker 2>top five top All right, let's.

0:53:45.600 --> 0:53:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Talk anime, buddy, let's talk anime now. I got to say,

0:53:50.480 --> 0:53:52.160
<v Speaker 3>when it comes to top five anime, it might be

0:53:52.200 --> 0:53:55.040
<v Speaker 3>even more hotly debated than top five all time NBA

0:53:55.160 --> 0:53:58.640
<v Speaker 3>because there are so many options you can go with.

0:53:58.719 --> 0:54:01.920
<v Speaker 3>There's so many directions you can go into. I actually

0:54:01.920 --> 0:54:03.800
<v Speaker 3>wanted to start off very quickly. I mean, it seems

0:54:03.800 --> 0:54:06.200
<v Speaker 3>like Ben Simmons knew that we were like got a

0:54:06.239 --> 0:54:09.759
<v Speaker 3>hand of in our doc because last night I'm not

0:54:09.760 --> 0:54:13.000
<v Speaker 3>sure if JD has the full screen night, but he

0:54:13.080 --> 0:54:16.560
<v Speaker 3>wore a Gundam shirt court side during the Brooklyn Nets game.

0:54:16.560 --> 0:54:21.120
<v Speaker 3>So shout out to him for promoting us. But yeah,

0:54:21.120 --> 0:54:23.960
<v Speaker 3>when it comes to watch, thanks for watching. When it

0:54:24.000 --> 0:54:25.640
<v Speaker 3>comes to this list, I had to go in a

0:54:25.680 --> 0:54:28.239
<v Speaker 3>couple of different directions, a couple of different considerations. Shout

0:54:28.280 --> 0:54:32.000
<v Speaker 3>out Stephen Steve no for his article and sharing all

0:54:32.000 --> 0:54:34.680
<v Speaker 3>the different interests for the NBA players and what they

0:54:34.760 --> 0:54:37.880
<v Speaker 3>like in anime. I had to go, obviously with some

0:54:37.920 --> 0:54:40.200
<v Speaker 3>personal fames. I'm gonna start off with my honorable mention.

0:54:41.600 --> 0:54:47.319
<v Speaker 3>It's actually my favorite anime. It's Samurai Champloo. It is

0:54:48.360 --> 0:54:50.359
<v Speaker 3>just like one of the most beautiful animes you can

0:54:50.400 --> 0:54:55.319
<v Speaker 3>come across. It's very like, the art is beautiful, the

0:54:55.400 --> 0:55:00.600
<v Speaker 3>music by New Jobs is incredible, the hip off on

0:55:00.680 --> 0:55:04.640
<v Speaker 3>it just I feel if more NBA players got into

0:55:04.640 --> 0:55:06.839
<v Speaker 3>the show, they would really love it. So I'm gonna

0:55:06.880 --> 0:55:09.880
<v Speaker 3>go there, all right, sleeper people, I love that sleeper

0:55:09.920 --> 0:55:12.719
<v Speaker 3>pick number five. We're going to start here. This is

0:55:12.840 --> 0:55:17.840
<v Speaker 3>arguably the anime of no dunks. It's called Attack on Titan.

0:55:18.000 --> 0:55:18.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:55:18.880 --> 0:55:20.359
<v Speaker 3>We have a clip. We have a clip that we're

0:55:20.360 --> 0:55:22.160
<v Speaker 3>gonna pull up right now, resurface.

0:55:22.520 --> 0:55:23.920
<v Speaker 2>We absolutely have a clip.

0:55:42.560 --> 0:55:43.560
<v Speaker 5>Shot stap.

0:56:01.600 --> 0:56:02.080
<v Speaker 2>The Titan.

0:56:02.760 --> 0:56:05.319
<v Speaker 3>That is Trey as a colossal Titan. Although he had

0:56:05.360 --> 0:56:06.719
<v Speaker 3>re knew he was a class star. He thought he

0:56:06.800 --> 0:56:09.800
<v Speaker 3>was the big the big meat man. The whole time.

0:56:09.880 --> 0:56:11.560
<v Speaker 3>You thought you were meat man, but you were actually

0:56:11.640 --> 0:56:15.360
<v Speaker 3>colossal Titan. I pulled up from Wikipedia because I just

0:56:15.360 --> 0:56:18.000
<v Speaker 3>realized when I started thinking about animes, it's actually really

0:56:18.040 --> 0:56:20.439
<v Speaker 3>hard to come up with a synopsis, like a one

0:56:20.480 --> 0:56:22.360
<v Speaker 3>line or for them. But this is what Attack of

0:56:22.360 --> 0:56:25.280
<v Speaker 3>Titan is. It is set in a world where humanity

0:56:25.320 --> 0:56:27.720
<v Speaker 3>is forced to live in cities surrounded by three enormous

0:56:27.719 --> 0:56:31.840
<v Speaker 3>walls that protect them from gigantic men eating humanoids referred

0:56:31.880 --> 0:56:35.960
<v Speaker 3>to as Titans or Trey Kirby's. The story follows Aaron Yeager,

0:56:36.280 --> 0:56:39.000
<v Speaker 3>who has to exterminate all the Titans after they bring

0:56:39.040 --> 0:56:43.040
<v Speaker 3>about destruction of his hometown. So this is like one

0:56:43.080 --> 0:56:45.480
<v Speaker 3>of the I would don't know if we'll call it

0:56:45.600 --> 0:56:51.200
<v Speaker 3>more recent picks, but it is an incredible show. The drama, action, art,

0:56:51.360 --> 0:56:55.479
<v Speaker 3>everything about it is so so good. Uniclode just dropped off,

0:56:55.920 --> 0:57:02.160
<v Speaker 3>dropped a big attack on Titan, then collaboration set movies

0:57:02.200 --> 0:57:06.920
<v Speaker 3>coming out soon. No, no, that's an exclusive one on

0:57:06.920 --> 0:57:11.600
<v Speaker 3>one unfortunately. But but yeah, no, no, it is a

0:57:11.640 --> 0:57:12.320
<v Speaker 3>really good show.

0:57:12.920 --> 0:57:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Is it scary?

0:57:13.840 --> 0:57:15.160
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I heard people saying it was a

0:57:15.200 --> 0:57:17.880
<v Speaker 3>little scary, It could get graphic, it's a little it

0:57:17.880 --> 0:57:20.360
<v Speaker 3>gets on the like scary side. I guess you can

0:57:20.400 --> 0:57:25.040
<v Speaker 3>call it that, but yeah, like gory your daughters. It's

0:57:25.080 --> 0:57:29.160
<v Speaker 3>not for children, Yeah yeah, this is pure grown man

0:57:29.200 --> 0:57:31.120
<v Speaker 3>knowledge here. Yeah yeah, yeah, there you go.

0:57:31.440 --> 0:57:34.080
<v Speaker 2>But I want to watch an anime on a trip

0:57:35.480 --> 0:57:36.720
<v Speaker 2>of this list.

0:57:37.080 --> 0:57:39.440
<v Speaker 4>It's weirdly, this is the most normal one.

0:57:39.960 --> 0:57:40.600
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean?

0:57:41.080 --> 0:57:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Is that fair to say like it's it's pretty I mean,

0:57:44.600 --> 0:57:47.760
<v Speaker 4>it's it's crazy grounded.

0:57:47.760 --> 0:57:49.040
<v Speaker 3>I see what you mean. I get what you mean

0:57:49.080 --> 0:57:49.400
<v Speaker 3>by it.

0:57:49.400 --> 0:57:52.960
<v Speaker 4>It's it's there's the least amount of what is going

0:57:53.000 --> 0:57:53.960
<v Speaker 4>on here, you know what I mean?

0:57:54.960 --> 0:57:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Actually actually is going to be our most grounded of him.

0:57:58.320 --> 0:58:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Number four. It's kind of like you can't talk about

0:58:01.520 --> 0:58:05.840
<v Speaker 3>a basketball anime without mentioning slam dunk. So there's slam

0:58:05.920 --> 0:58:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Dunk there. I'm to give myself that I have not

0:58:10.720 --> 0:58:13.640
<v Speaker 3>actually seen slam dunk, but I have obviously been very

0:58:13.640 --> 0:58:17.120
<v Speaker 3>aware of its lore. We'll hold on this shot right here,

0:58:17.280 --> 0:58:19.520
<v Speaker 3>just because one thing I love about this if you

0:58:19.560 --> 0:58:21.160
<v Speaker 3>look at all the art, like look at their shoes

0:58:21.200 --> 0:58:24.640
<v Speaker 3>that they have, they actually give them all like real

0:58:24.800 --> 0:58:29.240
<v Speaker 3>Nike shoes. Jordan's all that. It is really like such

0:58:29.280 --> 0:58:32.280
<v Speaker 3>a great capture of its time. Rated one of their

0:58:32.320 --> 0:58:37.600
<v Speaker 3>best animes in history. You really can't do a NBA

0:58:37.720 --> 0:58:41.439
<v Speaker 3>Siko list without mentioning the basketball anime that's slam Dunk

0:58:41.480 --> 0:58:41.880
<v Speaker 3>right there.

0:58:42.360 --> 0:58:44.280
<v Speaker 2>It's all about a basketball team.

0:58:44.600 --> 0:58:47.400
<v Speaker 3>It's all about a basketball team. The one liner that

0:58:47.440 --> 0:58:51.640
<v Speaker 3>I haven't had it tells the story of a basketball

0:58:51.640 --> 0:58:54.440
<v Speaker 3>team from Shohuku High School in the show in an

0:58:54.480 --> 0:58:57.000
<v Speaker 3>area of Japan. That is the one liner for slam Dunk.

0:58:57.360 --> 0:58:59.240
<v Speaker 5>I think I've seen like a clip of this before

0:58:59.240 --> 0:59:02.720
<v Speaker 5>and it was crazy. Yeah, you know when you anime eyes,

0:59:02.720 --> 0:59:04.760
<v Speaker 5>I'm just going to make up a verb there an

0:59:06.840 --> 0:59:09.560
<v Speaker 5>animi basketball. This is exactly what you would think it

0:59:09.560 --> 0:59:15.840
<v Speaker 5>would look like, honestly, like it's just so. But it

0:59:16.200 --> 0:59:17.840
<v Speaker 5>was interesting. I saw, like, I don't know, a couple

0:59:17.880 --> 0:59:18.440
<v Speaker 5>of minutes of it.

0:59:18.600 --> 0:59:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Uh, kind of surprising. It doesn't come up at all

0:59:20.920 --> 0:59:23.600
<v Speaker 2>in Steven's peace over what the Sporting News Really.

0:59:24.200 --> 0:59:27.360
<v Speaker 3>It's an older one, so I think like in some ways, uh,

0:59:27.800 --> 0:59:30.280
<v Speaker 3>it kind of falls a little bit under the radar. Also,

0:59:30.560 --> 0:59:33.040
<v Speaker 3>like when you think about anime, you're thinking about like

0:59:33.080 --> 0:59:36.560
<v Speaker 3>maybe more fantastical situations like you know we have with

0:59:36.600 --> 0:59:40.560
<v Speaker 3>Attack on Titan you name on here, So slam dunk

0:59:40.640 --> 0:59:42.800
<v Speaker 3>is almost it is a slam dunk. It is so

0:59:42.960 --> 0:59:46.840
<v Speaker 3>obvious to be a basketball anime put it on, so

0:59:47.880 --> 0:59:51.160
<v Speaker 3>it has to be on there. Number three. I love

0:59:51.200 --> 0:59:54.560
<v Speaker 3>this one so much. It is One punch Man, One

0:59:54.600 --> 1:00:01.040
<v Speaker 3>punch Man. What Jad mentioned ridiculous premises. One punch Man

1:00:01.080 --> 1:00:04.920
<v Speaker 3>tells the story of Saitama, a superhero who can because

1:00:04.920 --> 1:00:08.800
<v Speaker 3>he can defeat any opponent with a single punch, grows

1:00:08.880 --> 1:00:15.560
<v Speaker 3>bored from a lack of a challenge. So honestly, if

1:00:15.720 --> 1:00:20.440
<v Speaker 3>I was recommending something that is light, short to watch,

1:00:20.680 --> 1:00:24.840
<v Speaker 3>easy to consume, and very silly, I think One punch

1:00:24.880 --> 1:00:27.120
<v Speaker 3>Man is gonna be up there as one of my options.

1:00:28.360 --> 1:00:31.440
<v Speaker 3>It is like, it's the kind of thing that also

1:00:31.520 --> 1:00:35.880
<v Speaker 3>kind of works as like anyone who's into Marvel superhero movies,

1:00:35.920 --> 1:00:38.720
<v Speaker 3>like DC anything like that, because it does tackle the

1:00:38.760 --> 1:00:43.760
<v Speaker 3>notion of it's essentially Saitama is like Superman, who Superman

1:00:43.880 --> 1:00:48.720
<v Speaker 3>was super bored because nobody can defeat Superman except Saitama

1:00:48.880 --> 1:00:52.840
<v Speaker 3>is like so powerful and you'll see not spoiling too much.

1:00:52.880 --> 1:00:57.320
<v Speaker 3>He literally does throw one punch at any given villain

1:00:57.400 --> 1:01:01.000
<v Speaker 3>or adversary and takes them out completely. And so for

1:01:01.120 --> 1:01:02.920
<v Speaker 3>someone that powerful, how do you deal with it? It

1:01:03.040 --> 1:01:05.960
<v Speaker 3>is also its own kind of like self referential on

1:01:06.600 --> 1:01:10.480
<v Speaker 3>the like tropes of anime where you know characters are

1:01:10.480 --> 1:01:14.040
<v Speaker 3>constantly powering up. He is well the most powerful and unstoppable.

1:01:14.680 --> 1:01:18.160
<v Speaker 3>So One punch Man fantastic is a funny one, Like

1:01:18.600 --> 1:01:19.920
<v Speaker 3>it's funny we're talking. It's funny.

1:01:20.200 --> 1:01:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Nice.

1:01:20.560 --> 1:01:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Esh, have you seen One punch Man? You might have.

1:01:23.080 --> 1:01:24.560
<v Speaker 3>You must have heard of it, though I've heard of it.

1:01:24.600 --> 1:01:26.520
<v Speaker 5>I've seen like an episode maybe.

1:01:27.000 --> 1:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:01:27.360 --> 1:01:29.200
<v Speaker 5>All all of my family and friends they love One

1:01:29.200 --> 1:01:31.200
<v Speaker 5>punch Man. They love all these animes that you said

1:01:31.200 --> 1:01:33.880
<v Speaker 5>so far as well. Yeah, all of them actually so,

1:01:34.240 --> 1:01:36.439
<v Speaker 5>but I have not dove in yet.

1:01:36.520 --> 1:01:39.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, big hit in our house. One punch Man, for sure.

1:01:39.680 --> 1:01:40.080
<v Speaker 2>There you go.

1:01:40.520 --> 1:01:44.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all right, number two, number two. It may be

1:01:44.200 --> 1:01:46.720
<v Speaker 3>considered the goat of animes. It is dragon Ball.

1:01:46.760 --> 1:01:47.200
<v Speaker 5>Is the guy.

1:01:48.160 --> 1:01:55.120
<v Speaker 3>It is this one. It's it's such a long running

1:01:55.160 --> 1:01:58.360
<v Speaker 3>series that like it is actually very difficult to like

1:01:58.400 --> 1:02:01.120
<v Speaker 3>give you the one liner, but shout out again Wikipedia.

1:02:01.200 --> 1:02:04.160
<v Speaker 3>The series follows the adventures of protagonist's son Goku, from

1:02:04.200 --> 1:02:07.000
<v Speaker 3>his childhood through adulthood as he trains in martial arts.

1:02:07.360 --> 1:02:10.200
<v Speaker 3>He spends his childhood far from civilization until he meets

1:02:10.200 --> 1:02:13.480
<v Speaker 3>a teen girl named Bolma, who encourages him to join

1:02:13.560 --> 1:02:16.360
<v Speaker 3>her quest in exploring the world in search of seven

1:02:16.480 --> 1:02:19.400
<v Speaker 3>orbs known as the Dragon Balls, which summon a wish

1:02:19.440 --> 1:02:23.680
<v Speaker 3>granting dragon when gathered. Along his journey, Goku makes several

1:02:23.720 --> 1:02:27.320
<v Speaker 3>other friends, becomes a family man that's questionable. Piccolo's real

1:02:27.360 --> 1:02:32.680
<v Speaker 3>father discovers his alien heritage and battles a wide variety

1:02:32.680 --> 1:02:35.640
<v Speaker 3>of villains, many of whom also seek the dragon Balls. Now,

1:02:35.720 --> 1:02:41.160
<v Speaker 3>this is arguably like the Jordan of animes. When it

1:02:41.240 --> 1:02:44.840
<v Speaker 3>comes to anyone mentioning anime, I think you can't mention

1:02:44.920 --> 1:02:49.280
<v Speaker 3>anime without mentioning this one. Early days of the internet

1:02:49.800 --> 1:02:54.880
<v Speaker 3>big like anime music videos, I personally loved the jidas

1:02:55.920 --> 1:03:00.400
<v Speaker 3>at am to the tune of Blank Two's Animal song.

1:03:00.520 --> 1:03:04.000
<v Speaker 3>It's an incredible banger. May have inspired me to become

1:03:04.080 --> 1:03:10.160
<v Speaker 3>the editor and producer that I today, But it is Yeah, no,

1:03:10.320 --> 1:03:12.439
<v Speaker 3>like Ash, I'm gonna let I'm gonna toss the rock

1:03:12.480 --> 1:03:14.600
<v Speaker 3>to you taught to me a little bit about dragon Ball.

1:03:14.640 --> 1:03:16.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, first of all, I think you said like it's

1:03:16.400 --> 1:03:19.040
<v Speaker 5>it's the Jordan of uh Okay. I would even compare

1:03:19.040 --> 1:03:22.080
<v Speaker 5>it to like what Magic and Bird did for the NBA.

1:03:22.200 --> 1:03:24.840
<v Speaker 5>So what dragon Ball did for anime the game? Yeah,

1:03:25.120 --> 1:03:27.480
<v Speaker 5>because like I think they tried to port dragon Ball

1:03:27.520 --> 1:03:30.520
<v Speaker 5>over one time and it didn't work. And then too Nummi,

1:03:30.840 --> 1:03:32.720
<v Speaker 5>which is like something that happened on Cartoon Network back

1:03:32.720 --> 1:03:35.640
<v Speaker 5>in the day, brought it back again found the right

1:03:35.720 --> 1:03:37.520
<v Speaker 5>voice actors, and then it took off and then like

1:03:37.600 --> 1:03:39.760
<v Speaker 5>anime is now what it is over here?

1:03:39.800 --> 1:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>You know?

1:03:40.680 --> 1:03:44.280
<v Speaker 5>So, Uhmison, I guess real quick, Jerome. My question is,

1:03:44.280 --> 1:03:47.520
<v Speaker 5>if Trey's never watched any like dragon Ball or anything,

1:03:47.760 --> 1:03:50.320
<v Speaker 5>would you start him on the og dragon Ball? Would

1:03:50.360 --> 1:03:50.960
<v Speaker 5>you start him at Z?

1:03:51.640 --> 1:03:52.600
<v Speaker 3>I think you started at Z.

1:03:52.840 --> 1:03:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:03:53.160 --> 1:03:56.000
<v Speaker 3>See, that's the thing that's difficult about getting into dragon

1:03:56.000 --> 1:03:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Ball is there's so much dragon Ball.

1:03:58.440 --> 1:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Like starting to watch the soap opera.

1:04:00.160 --> 1:04:02.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yes, watch fifty seasons.

1:04:02.680 --> 1:04:04.240
<v Speaker 2>It's like Survivor. I guess.

1:04:06.720 --> 1:04:08.480
<v Speaker 4>Because it's the Coronation Street.

1:04:11.200 --> 1:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it's obviously dragon Ball is huge because

1:04:14.400 --> 1:04:17.080
<v Speaker 2>it even filtered down to me all through college. One

1:04:17.080 --> 1:04:20.680
<v Speaker 2>of my good friends was Pat Murphy. At one point

1:04:20.720 --> 1:04:24.160
<v Speaker 2>in time, he had bleach blonde hair that he like

1:04:24.360 --> 1:04:27.920
<v Speaker 2>slicked back, gigantic hair, So all through college we call

1:04:28.000 --> 1:04:31.280
<v Speaker 2>them dragon Ball Murph. Really yeah, that was the closest

1:04:31.280 --> 1:04:35.520
<v Speaker 2>that anime crossover. He went super Saiyan he s yeah, yeah,

1:04:35.560 --> 1:04:38.280
<v Speaker 2>he told it. He called it getting totally ridiculous or

1:04:38.280 --> 1:04:42.280
<v Speaker 2>totally sideways. But I think the same general vibe for

1:04:42.400 --> 1:04:44.200
<v Speaker 2>dragon Ball MURF and dragon Ball Z.

1:04:46.440 --> 1:04:50.040
<v Speaker 3>And Number one It is one of my personal favorites.

1:04:50.520 --> 1:04:52.640
<v Speaker 3>It is one that seems to be such a hit

1:04:52.680 --> 1:04:54.200
<v Speaker 3>for a lot of NBA players. So you'll see a

1:04:54.200 --> 1:04:56.440
<v Speaker 3>bit of a clause here, but we're gonna go with

1:04:56.560 --> 1:05:03.240
<v Speaker 3>Nearrudo Nerudo also in this jump series right there, let

1:05:03.280 --> 1:05:05.800
<v Speaker 3>me pull up my I love these one miners so much.

1:05:06.040 --> 1:05:08.720
<v Speaker 3>These are great. It tells a story of Naruto Uzumaki,

1:05:09.000 --> 1:05:11.640
<v Speaker 3>a young ninja who seeks recognition from his peers and

1:05:11.760 --> 1:05:14.120
<v Speaker 3>dreams of becoming hokkage, the leader of his village. And

1:05:14.160 --> 1:05:16.280
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna hold on this. Here you see two players

1:05:16.640 --> 1:05:20.240
<v Speaker 3>who absolutely love it, Zion Williamson on the left. He

1:05:20.320 --> 1:05:23.640
<v Speaker 3>has a couple of collaborations with Nike Rudo and Jordan

1:05:23.720 --> 1:05:27.480
<v Speaker 3>Naruto that honestly, if anyone from Nike is listening to this,

1:05:27.680 --> 1:05:32.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm a size ten point five men anywhere between a

1:05:32.560 --> 1:05:35.880
<v Speaker 3>large extra large like just I will take any amount

1:05:35.960 --> 1:05:39.400
<v Speaker 3>of Naruto Zion where and then on the right that

1:05:39.600 --> 1:05:43.520
<v Speaker 3>is Jaren Jackson Junior, a man and in this case

1:05:43.560 --> 1:05:46.720
<v Speaker 3>a hokage as he described to the room there a

1:05:46.800 --> 1:05:50.200
<v Speaker 3>hokagi being the chief of his village. After coming off

1:05:50.200 --> 1:05:52.280
<v Speaker 3>a huge game, he said, I'm feeling like a Hokage.

1:05:52.720 --> 1:05:54.640
<v Speaker 3>He's going to on the top of the world world.

1:05:54.920 --> 1:05:56.520
<v Speaker 3>If you see him over there. If you look at

1:05:56.520 --> 1:05:59.400
<v Speaker 3>that Naruto photo in the middle, you can see the

1:05:59.440 --> 1:06:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Hokage on the right there, and you can see where

1:06:01.840 --> 1:06:05.080
<v Speaker 3>the likeness is. He's not doing some sort of play

1:06:05.240 --> 1:06:07.880
<v Speaker 3>on Tyler the Creator with an oversized hat. He is

1:06:07.920 --> 1:06:14.600
<v Speaker 3>being a Hookagi. Naruto is one of like, if not

1:06:14.720 --> 1:06:16.720
<v Speaker 3>Dragon Ball, I think that's also up there is one

1:06:16.720 --> 1:06:21.320
<v Speaker 3>of like the real greats out there, incredible stories stuff

1:06:21.320 --> 1:06:23.200
<v Speaker 3>that I think, Yeah, a lot of NBA players kind

1:06:23.200 --> 1:06:26.200
<v Speaker 3>of take from. I was thinking about it this morning.

1:06:26.800 --> 1:06:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Game six Lebron who lost his head man, that's rock

1:06:29.360 --> 1:06:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Lee who drops his training weights and becomes like superpowered

1:06:32.320 --> 1:06:36.600
<v Speaker 3>against Gara. I see Esh there smirking at that, and

1:06:36.640 --> 1:06:39.080
<v Speaker 3>then Esh I'd be like, talked to me about Naruto.

1:06:39.720 --> 1:06:42.400
<v Speaker 5>Okay. So I tried to watch Naruto back in the

1:06:42.480 --> 1:06:44.440
<v Speaker 5>day when it was to know me so I was

1:06:44.480 --> 1:06:47.400
<v Speaker 5>a child, and I was like, Wow, this is pretty good.

1:06:47.720 --> 1:06:50.080
<v Speaker 5>I got to like the first season, but then I

1:06:50.080 --> 1:06:52.960
<v Speaker 5>I just had to go back to dragon Ball. Dragon

1:06:53.040 --> 1:06:57.920
<v Speaker 5>Ball I'll probably finish at some point. My sister is

1:06:57.920 --> 1:06:59.160
<v Speaker 5>always getting on me because.

1:06:58.920 --> 1:07:00.680
<v Speaker 3>I have you ever got into the tune in exams,

1:07:00.800 --> 1:07:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Like once you get there, everything takes off.

1:07:02.440 --> 1:07:04.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't even remember. Like my cousin is the biggest

1:07:04.960 --> 1:07:07.480
<v Speaker 5>Ruto fan I think, ever, he's always he's he's the

1:07:07.520 --> 1:07:10.240
<v Speaker 5>guy that always corrects me when I say Rudo and

1:07:10.280 --> 1:07:12.520
<v Speaker 5>he's like, no, it's not. I'm like, dude, I'm I'm

1:07:12.520 --> 1:07:14.360
<v Speaker 5>from Georgia. I'm gonna pronounce it how I want to

1:07:14.400 --> 1:07:17.680
<v Speaker 5>pronounce it. But I don't know. I feel like, you know,

1:07:17.680 --> 1:07:19.720
<v Speaker 5>obviously they took a lot of inspiration from dragon Ball,

1:07:20.360 --> 1:07:20.919
<v Speaker 5>but uh.

1:07:22.440 --> 1:07:25.920
<v Speaker 3>And are they the Magic and Bird? Maybe? Are they?

1:07:26.320 --> 1:07:32.040
<v Speaker 3>Are they Jordan and Isaiah? Like the Blood rivalry? He knows, No,

1:07:32.200 --> 1:07:34.440
<v Speaker 3>it's it is. It is one of the greats. That

1:07:34.600 --> 1:07:36.880
<v Speaker 3>is our number one. There are again, like I said

1:07:36.960 --> 1:07:38.680
<v Speaker 3>so many, Like I did not mention one.

1:07:38.560 --> 1:07:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Piece the stream team saying one piece, it's got like

1:07:42.880 --> 1:07:45.440
<v Speaker 2>a million episodes though death.

1:07:45.240 --> 1:07:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Note a huge one two Unyasha, like there's so many

1:07:49.360 --> 1:07:54.160
<v Speaker 3>animes Gundam we mentioned at the top there, Uh Hunter

1:07:54.840 --> 1:07:59.520
<v Speaker 3>hunter ex Hunter like just Demon Slayer is that the one? Yeah,

1:07:59.560 --> 1:08:03.560
<v Speaker 3>there's like so many. I think part of like the

1:08:03.600 --> 1:08:07.080
<v Speaker 3>list here was like inspired by Steph knows article just

1:08:07.120 --> 1:08:10.600
<v Speaker 3>because there had been so many references we mentioned dragon

1:08:10.600 --> 1:08:14.800
<v Speaker 3>Ball before Rudy Gobert once. Uh, I'm not here for

1:08:14.800 --> 1:08:17.439
<v Speaker 3>fat shaming, but I suppose if you compare them to

1:08:17.479 --> 1:08:20.240
<v Speaker 3>the character imagine Boo, I suppose that's kind of a

1:08:20.280 --> 1:08:24.479
<v Speaker 3>funny take on it. But no, there are a lot

1:08:24.479 --> 1:08:26.839
<v Speaker 3>of different options here. Esh, I know you took exception

1:08:27.160 --> 1:08:29.840
<v Speaker 3>to this list. I want to know, is it is

1:08:29.880 --> 1:08:32.679
<v Speaker 3>it the listing? Are we missing something here? What's going

1:08:32.720 --> 1:08:33.599
<v Speaker 3>on your Your.

1:08:33.439 --> 1:08:38.200
<v Speaker 5>List is ninety It's just the dragon Balls should be

1:08:38.280 --> 1:08:40.360
<v Speaker 5>number one. It was my only quome. That's it. I've

1:08:40.360 --> 1:08:40.800
<v Speaker 5>swept up.

1:08:41.560 --> 1:08:44.840
<v Speaker 3>I'll give you that. I think. I think the fat

1:08:44.880 --> 1:08:47.120
<v Speaker 3>are in in terms of NBA Secoast is just that

1:08:47.240 --> 1:08:50.559
<v Speaker 3>Narudo seems to be having more of an in with

1:08:50.720 --> 1:08:53.280
<v Speaker 3>NBA players, and it might just be that it's slightly newer,

1:08:53.520 --> 1:08:56.759
<v Speaker 3>it was still running a little more recently. That allowed

1:08:56.760 --> 1:08:58.559
<v Speaker 3>a lot of the current crop of the generation of

1:08:59.200 --> 1:09:02.800
<v Speaker 3>NBA players to get into it. But beyond that, No,

1:09:02.880 --> 1:09:06.400
<v Speaker 3>it's it's hard to deny dragon Ball is like one

1:09:06.439 --> 1:09:09.760
<v Speaker 3>of the best, if not the best, and still I

1:09:09.800 --> 1:09:13.080
<v Speaker 3>mean like dragon Ball super Heroes that just came out recently.

1:09:13.200 --> 1:09:17.680
<v Speaker 3>Incredible movie. Yeah, like, so, uh no, there's a lot

1:09:17.720 --> 1:09:20.360
<v Speaker 3>of things to go into here, Trey, I don't even

1:09:20.400 --> 1:09:23.479
<v Speaker 3>know where to get you started. I think I think

1:09:23.520 --> 1:09:27.719
<v Speaker 3>Attack on Titan or One punch Man might be good

1:09:27.760 --> 1:09:31.360
<v Speaker 3>in the sense that they're more digestible. Just because a lot.

1:09:31.240 --> 1:09:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Of hearing the list, those were top of mind for

1:09:35.479 --> 1:09:39.479
<v Speaker 2>me to sure find one episode each for the flights

1:09:39.520 --> 1:09:41.479
<v Speaker 2>like to you know, to Houston and that kind of stuff,

1:09:41.520 --> 1:09:43.200
<v Speaker 2>like I have a chance to watch it, then I

1:09:43.240 --> 1:09:44.920
<v Speaker 2>want to. I wouldn't mind checking one of these out,

1:09:45.720 --> 1:09:47.599
<v Speaker 2>maybe an episode of each one of them. I got

1:09:47.600 --> 1:09:49.519
<v Speaker 2>to know about Attack of Titan after you put me

1:09:49.560 --> 1:09:51.240
<v Speaker 2>into it. I gotta know what's going on there. That's

1:09:51.280 --> 1:09:54.920
<v Speaker 2>the one I like, A light fun one. Yeah, I

1:09:54.920 --> 1:09:56.200
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it's true, but yeah, I mean it's

1:09:56.200 --> 1:09:59.160
<v Speaker 2>about a guy punching people. So yeah, we'll see.

1:10:00.000 --> 1:10:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Well that's the.

1:10:00.400 --> 1:10:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Great top five Jerome stream team's going crazy for it.

<v Speaker 3>black Hair on Wednesday, Thursday, All Bleach it O. Bleach

1:10:22.120 --> 1:10:25.639
<v Speaker 3>also is an anime is actually one of my favorites.

1:10:26.360 --> 1:10:28.679
<v Speaker 3>Uh that I did not put on there. But Bleach

1:10:28.800 --> 1:10:32.920
<v Speaker 3>is incredible. They have a current arc that's completing that

1:10:33.720 --> 1:10:37.920
<v Speaker 3>the thousand year Blood Feud. I think it is, Oh

1:10:37.960 --> 1:10:42.320
<v Speaker 3>my god, so good. But yeah, we can go on

1:10:42.360 --> 1:10:46.240
<v Speaker 3>and on about anime on basketball podcast.

1:10:46.920 --> 1:10:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes we can, but appreciate the top five lest We're

1:10:49.880 --> 1:10:52.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna take one last break here and when we get back.

1:10:52.720 --> 1:10:56.320
<v Speaker 2>We got pick and payoff, we got rapid fire back

1:10:56.360 --> 1:10:59.519
<v Speaker 2>with no dumps, super sized show today. I thought it

1:10:59.560 --> 1:11:04.640
<v Speaker 2>was gonna be We're going two hours straight. Hopefully not

1:11:04.680 --> 1:11:06.960
<v Speaker 2>because we do have another podcast come a little bit later. Today.

1:11:07.040 --> 1:11:09.479
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about the pick them payoff. People were hating

1:11:09.520 --> 1:11:11.760
<v Speaker 2>on us for the pick them payoffs and ever since

1:11:11.800 --> 1:11:15.080
<v Speaker 2>somebody eight arbis they stopped doing it. No, we just

1:11:15.080 --> 1:11:17.400
<v Speaker 2>don't have any good ideas right now, but someday we will.

1:11:17.560 --> 1:11:19.840
<v Speaker 2>This one is brought to you by bet MGM. The

1:11:19.880 --> 1:11:23.720
<v Speaker 2>results from last night, Skeets and Tass had the Lakers

1:11:23.840 --> 1:11:26.000
<v Speaker 2>to cover a one and a half point spread, and

1:11:26.240 --> 1:11:29.599
<v Speaker 2>they certainly covered. That gave me a loss, so that

1:11:29.640 --> 1:11:32.080
<v Speaker 2>moves Skeets's record to eleven and ten. I'm sure he's

1:11:32.160 --> 1:11:34.479
<v Speaker 2>very excited to be over five hundred right now. Tasks

1:11:34.760 --> 1:11:38.080
<v Speaker 2>is at seven and fourteen, and I am still atop

1:11:38.120 --> 1:11:42.000
<v Speaker 2>the leaderboard at twelve and nine. Here are tonight's picks.

1:11:42.360 --> 1:11:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Only two games on the schedule. This is the spiciest one.

1:11:46.479 --> 1:11:51.479
<v Speaker 2>The Boston Celtics traveled to Milwaukee to play against the Bucks,

1:11:51.479 --> 1:11:54.200
<v Speaker 2>who just had a huge win last night. Skeets and

1:11:54.240 --> 1:11:56.360
<v Speaker 2>I think the Bucks will cover a two and a

1:11:56.400 --> 1:12:00.519
<v Speaker 2>half point spread. Task gets the Celtics because I think

1:12:00.560 --> 1:12:03.280
<v Speaker 2>he was probably still asleep when we made these pairs.

1:12:04.120 --> 1:12:06.519
<v Speaker 2>And we can't have three of the same deer head

1:12:06.880 --> 1:12:09.000
<v Speaker 2>on the graphic. That would be ridiculous. What do you think, Ash,

1:12:09.000 --> 1:12:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Who's going to win this game?

1:12:10.680 --> 1:12:12.160
<v Speaker 5>I gotta go with Boston because you know I'm a

1:12:12.160 --> 1:12:12.720
<v Speaker 5>Celtics fan.

1:12:13.280 --> 1:12:15.680
<v Speaker 2>I do know you're a fake Celtics fan. How are

1:12:15.720 --> 1:12:17.080
<v Speaker 2>you a fake Celtics fan anyways?

1:12:17.600 --> 1:12:18.559
<v Speaker 5>A fake Celtics fan.

1:12:18.680 --> 1:12:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, I know you're a Hawks fan. You're a Hawks.

1:12:21.240 --> 1:12:22.960
<v Speaker 5>Look like I put it the other day, I am

1:12:22.960 --> 1:12:25.160
<v Speaker 5>a Celtics fan who cheers for the hometown Hawks.

1:12:25.600 --> 1:12:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Respect.

1:12:26.200 --> 1:12:29.280
<v Speaker 5>It's because when I was getting into watching NBA basketball

1:12:29.280 --> 1:12:32.080
<v Speaker 5>when I was in seventh grade. Yeah, this when they

1:12:32.200 --> 1:12:34.599
<v Speaker 5>just got KG they just got Ray Allen, and I

1:12:34.640 --> 1:12:37.240
<v Speaker 5>was like, man, I gotta find a team that I

1:12:37.280 --> 1:12:39.400
<v Speaker 5>want to win, and that was the Celtics.

1:12:39.640 --> 1:12:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, you made a good choice back then. That's pretty

1:12:42.360 --> 1:12:46.759
<v Speaker 2>crazy though. So you said sixth grade, you were eleven

1:12:46.800 --> 1:12:48.360
<v Speaker 2>years old. That was the last time the Kings made

1:12:48.400 --> 1:12:51.000
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. You really got into basketball in seventh grade.

1:12:51.600 --> 1:12:53.000
<v Speaker 2>You've never seen the Kings in the playoffs.

1:12:53.200 --> 1:12:55.719
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I watched basketball, but I just didn't follow

1:12:55.720 --> 1:12:58.320
<v Speaker 5>it like the way I follow basketball now. Is I

1:12:58.360 --> 1:12:59.639
<v Speaker 5>started that in like seventh grade?

1:12:59.720 --> 1:13:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I get you. All right, let's answer some rapid

1:13:03.400 --> 1:13:06.880
<v Speaker 2>fire questions. This should be nice and quick. Yesterday's tweet

1:13:06.880 --> 1:13:09.680
<v Speaker 2>of the night seemed to show former WNBA player in

1:13:09.720 --> 1:13:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta legend Rene Montgomery at a Hawks game totally alone.

1:13:13.960 --> 1:13:16.679
<v Speaker 2>No other fans can be seen. You can't see anyone

1:13:16.720 --> 1:13:20.000
<v Speaker 2>at the scorer's table. Looks like there's nobody but her

1:13:20.400 --> 1:13:23.840
<v Speaker 2>watching Donovan Mitchell shoot free throws. Great way to see

1:13:23.840 --> 1:13:27.400
<v Speaker 2>a game. What is something you'd like to see as

1:13:27.400 --> 1:13:29.839
<v Speaker 2>a private solo show? Jerome?

1:13:29.880 --> 1:13:30.400
<v Speaker 5>What you got?

1:13:31.760 --> 1:13:33.800
<v Speaker 3>First off? I want to start this by saying when

1:13:33.840 --> 1:13:36.400
<v Speaker 3>you ask, when you said private solo show. I was

1:13:36.560 --> 1:13:42.240
<v Speaker 3>incredibly uneasy with this in so many different ways. I

1:13:42.479 --> 1:13:45.760
<v Speaker 3>don't even know if I want because, like if it's

1:13:45.800 --> 1:13:47.960
<v Speaker 3>a concert or performance or anything like that, Like it's

1:13:47.960 --> 1:13:51.439
<v Speaker 3>just so awkward to be like the one person watching them.

1:13:51.800 --> 1:13:54.639
<v Speaker 3>What is my angle to go in? And I think

1:13:54.680 --> 1:13:57.640
<v Speaker 3>my angle is like, what was the place where you know,

1:13:57.720 --> 1:13:59.519
<v Speaker 3>normally people weren't able to go and I could be

1:13:59.560 --> 1:14:01.600
<v Speaker 3>the solo person who got to view it? And I

1:14:01.800 --> 1:14:05.479
<v Speaker 3>chose with a time machine the nineteen ninety two Dream

1:14:05.640 --> 1:14:09.519
<v Speaker 3>Team Scrimmages. I want to sit there as the solo

1:14:09.680 --> 1:14:13.280
<v Speaker 3>person in there. I'm gonna call it my show. I know,

1:14:13.680 --> 1:14:15.400
<v Speaker 3>I get to get really get to the bottom of

1:14:16.280 --> 1:14:17.960
<v Speaker 3>not just like everything that they said to each other,

1:14:18.000 --> 1:14:20.280
<v Speaker 3>but probably all the ship talking that Jordan apparently might

1:14:20.320 --> 1:14:23.679
<v Speaker 3>have said about Isaiah Thomas even though he wasn't there, so.

1:14:25.880 --> 1:14:27.479
<v Speaker 2>Guaranteed, I think he'll talk trash.

1:14:27.479 --> 1:14:29.640
<v Speaker 3>Even though he wasn't, he was definitely talking trash about it.

1:14:29.760 --> 1:14:30.800
<v Speaker 3>So that's my pick.

1:14:31.439 --> 1:14:33.960
<v Speaker 5>Great answer, what about you asked, even though Jermees just

1:14:33.960 --> 1:14:36.200
<v Speaker 5>said like no to concerts because I'd be weird, I

1:14:36.200 --> 1:14:40.320
<v Speaker 5>would definitely go to a Paramore concert just because Hailee

1:14:40.360 --> 1:14:44.840
<v Speaker 5>Williams And sorry Courtney, but you know, Hayley Williams is like,

1:14:46.280 --> 1:14:47.880
<v Speaker 5>you know, so I just get to sit there and

1:14:47.920 --> 1:14:49.559
<v Speaker 5>watch her. She probably put me on stage. I get

1:14:49.560 --> 1:14:52.000
<v Speaker 5>to be up there with her. It'd be great.

1:14:52.040 --> 1:14:54.559
<v Speaker 2>What song would you want her slash them to play?

1:14:56.120 --> 1:14:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Section? It has to be only Yeah, that's that's the one.

1:14:59.280 --> 1:15:04.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Yeah, she was sinking it to man if she

1:15:04.680 --> 1:15:06.880
<v Speaker 5>was singing that to me, like just singing that while

1:15:06.880 --> 1:15:10.360
<v Speaker 5>we were right there. I'm just playing I'll Love you, Courtney.

1:15:13.160 --> 1:15:15.559
<v Speaker 2>JD. What private solo show are you seeing?

1:15:15.840 --> 1:15:19.599
<v Speaker 4>I'm the same as Jerome, So just the idea of

1:15:19.640 --> 1:15:25.640
<v Speaker 4>being alone and getting a musical performance, to me, it

1:15:25.640 --> 1:15:29.720
<v Speaker 4>would just be so creepy and weird. So but I

1:15:29.720 --> 1:15:32.240
<v Speaker 4>did pick a music thing, and I sort of I'm

1:15:32.600 --> 1:15:36.240
<v Speaker 4>kind of taking Jerome's answer and making it musical. And

1:15:36.280 --> 1:15:39.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm now listen, I just sat through fifteen minutes of

1:15:39.680 --> 1:15:43.320
<v Speaker 4>you guys doing anime talk. So I'm going to geek

1:15:43.360 --> 1:15:45.000
<v Speaker 4>out for just a second, and I'm going to show

1:15:45.040 --> 1:15:47.360
<v Speaker 4>you a clip of basically what I mean. And as

1:15:47.439 --> 1:15:53.400
<v Speaker 4>John Williams composing, it's him composing the score to empire

1:15:53.439 --> 1:15:57.000
<v Speaker 4>strikes back, and it's him talking to the composed the

1:15:58.040 --> 1:16:00.680
<v Speaker 4>You may have seen this clip as Shit's it's uh,

1:16:01.200 --> 1:16:04.160
<v Speaker 4>he's talking to the I guess the composed the actual

1:16:04.600 --> 1:16:09.760
<v Speaker 4>conductor or the orchestra liaison, and it's from basically going

1:16:09.800 --> 1:16:13.720
<v Speaker 4>from his head to the actual orchestra, and when he

1:16:13.720 --> 1:16:15.840
<v Speaker 4>hears it for the first time played back to him,

1:16:16.200 --> 1:16:18.120
<v Speaker 4>it's it's an incredible moment. I got to play for

1:16:18.160 --> 1:16:18.479
<v Speaker 4>you now.

1:16:18.479 --> 1:16:21.679
<v Speaker 1>So here it is so here twenty five seconds point one.

1:16:22.120 --> 1:16:25.759
<v Speaker 1>Some little objects float by the window, and the strings

1:16:25.760 --> 1:16:30.759
<v Speaker 1>would be sustained here. But it's a Celeste sounding logo,

1:16:30.880 --> 1:16:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I think her sounding logo here like that, but exactly

1:16:37.160 --> 1:16:41.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty five seconds point one. That way, with two clarinets,

1:16:41.120 --> 1:16:45.559
<v Speaker 1>they are leaving the flutes free to play piccolo. Three

1:16:45.560 --> 1:16:48.559
<v Speaker 1>piccolos at thirty six seconds as we see these bats

1:16:49.560 --> 1:16:55.559
<v Speaker 1>and it's suddenly presto with four piccolos doing sex tuple's

1:16:55.560 --> 1:17:18.120
<v Speaker 1>about as fast as they can do them.

1:17:18.120 --> 1:17:26.439
<v Speaker 4>Oh boy, this is officially the dorkiest episode of NODONK ever.

1:17:27.680 --> 1:17:29.040
<v Speaker 4>But that's what I want to be. I want to be,

1:17:29.160 --> 1:17:32.240
<v Speaker 4>I want to be. It could be present day John Williams.

1:17:32.240 --> 1:17:35.200
<v Speaker 4>Guy's over ninety now and he's still a legend. And

1:17:35.600 --> 1:17:38.519
<v Speaker 4>just to see him create from writing it on the page,

1:17:38.520 --> 1:17:43.040
<v Speaker 4>which he probably still does to the orchestra. I just

1:17:43.040 --> 1:17:44.240
<v Speaker 4>want to be in the room. I want to be

1:17:44.280 --> 1:17:44.679
<v Speaker 4>in the room.

1:17:44.720 --> 1:17:48.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm with you, j I think this one of the

1:17:48.120 --> 1:17:50.559
<v Speaker 3>things was like to be flying the wall as like

1:17:50.800 --> 1:17:53.920
<v Speaker 3>something truly spectacular or iconic was being made.

1:17:55.360 --> 1:17:59.639
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, watching musicians create something is just like incredible.

1:17:59.640 --> 1:18:02.880
<v Speaker 2>There's that scene in that Beatles documentary when they're writing

1:18:02.920 --> 1:18:06.000
<v Speaker 2>get Back and it comes from messing about and suddenly

1:18:06.520 --> 1:18:09.840
<v Speaker 2>it's a hit song. Incredible stuff. Wild to see him

1:18:09.840 --> 1:18:11.880
<v Speaker 2>doing it for a movie, talking about like the plot

1:18:11.880 --> 1:18:14.400
<v Speaker 2>points of the movie as well. But I'll say four

1:18:14.400 --> 1:18:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Piccolo's doing sex tuplet sounds like a different kind of

1:18:17.080 --> 1:18:19.040
<v Speaker 2>private solo show JD.

1:18:19.760 --> 1:18:22.320
<v Speaker 4>And then either way, I'm rock hard.

1:18:26.200 --> 1:18:28.080
<v Speaker 2>All right. Here's a real thing I read this week.

1:18:28.439 --> 1:18:32.200
<v Speaker 2>A giant meatball made from flesh cultivated using the DNA

1:18:32.280 --> 1:18:35.519
<v Speaker 2>of an extinct wooly mammoth has been unveiled at a

1:18:35.560 --> 1:18:39.320
<v Speaker 2>science museum in the Netherlands. Apparently, the meatball was made

1:18:39.360 --> 1:18:43.759
<v Speaker 2>of sheep cells inserted in a with a singular mammoth gene.

1:18:44.040 --> 1:18:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Called myoglobin. As we all know when it comes to meet,

1:18:48.200 --> 1:18:54.160
<v Speaker 2>myoglobin is responsible for the aroma, the color, and the taste. Guys.

1:18:54.240 --> 1:18:57.360
<v Speaker 2>One is a time that science went too far. Jerome

1:19:00.400 --> 1:19:02.759
<v Speaker 2>green ketchup. That's the thing.

1:19:04.479 --> 1:19:06.479
<v Speaker 3>When I think it was the thing. I don't know

1:19:06.479 --> 1:19:08.240
<v Speaker 3>if it made it across the border, but I know

1:19:08.439 --> 1:19:12.200
<v Speaker 3>one time I can't exactly recall when they decided, you

1:19:12.240 --> 1:19:14.240
<v Speaker 3>know what, let's make the ketchup green.

1:19:14.439 --> 1:19:15.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I remember that.

1:19:15.600 --> 1:19:20.160
<v Speaker 3>No science, you've gone to science. I will not accept

1:19:20.160 --> 1:19:22.240
<v Speaker 3>this condiment that is on the opposite end of the

1:19:22.240 --> 1:19:25.080
<v Speaker 3>spectrum of Christmas colors. This is not the thing to do.

1:19:27.400 --> 1:19:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, green tomatoes.

1:19:28.960 --> 1:19:30.120
<v Speaker 5>I know, but it looks the best.

1:19:30.200 --> 1:19:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And also green tomatoes aren't as good as red.

1:19:32.680 --> 1:19:36.280
<v Speaker 4>But it's so stupid too, because kids already love ketchup,

1:19:36.360 --> 1:19:39.000
<v Speaker 4>and that's what it's for, right, So it's like, wow,

1:19:39.040 --> 1:19:41.959
<v Speaker 4>we want to encourage kids to eat more ketchup.

1:19:42.240 --> 1:19:44.600
<v Speaker 2>They love it already, they absolutely love it.

1:19:44.680 --> 1:19:49.080
<v Speaker 4>So it's the stupidest marketing thing, I agree.

1:19:49.600 --> 1:19:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Ash. One's a time that science went too far. Jada,

1:19:52.880 --> 1:19:56.479
<v Speaker 2>you got the video. Oh yeah, let's see this right here.

1:19:56.560 --> 1:19:58.840
<v Speaker 5>This is what I'm talking about. This is a time

1:19:58.880 --> 1:19:59.840
<v Speaker 5>that science went too far.

1:20:00.640 --> 1:20:01.760
<v Speaker 4>I forgot my tools again.

1:20:03.120 --> 1:20:08.519
<v Speaker 5>All right, for those listening, this robot right, well, now

1:20:08.600 --> 1:20:12.439
<v Speaker 5>this robot is can jump and walk and has his

1:20:12.560 --> 1:20:15.640
<v Speaker 5>own mind, Like this is ridiculous. And the people that

1:20:15.680 --> 1:20:18.400
<v Speaker 5>are making these robots and the new ais that help

1:20:18.479 --> 1:20:22.920
<v Speaker 5>us do everything, have they ever seen terminator? Have they

1:20:23.000 --> 1:20:26.360
<v Speaker 5>ever seen robot that's exactly right? Have you seen any

1:20:26.400 --> 1:20:29.920
<v Speaker 5>science fiction movie ever made? Because look like this robot

1:20:29.960 --> 1:20:31.880
<v Speaker 5>is going up the stairs carrying the tools to this guy.

1:20:32.080 --> 1:20:35.080
<v Speaker 5>And there's like a billion videos of this, Like we're

1:20:35.080 --> 1:20:38.200
<v Speaker 5>not gonna watch the whole thing, but he flipping awful

1:20:38.280 --> 1:20:41.639
<v Speaker 5>things and jumping out. You can do a Ninja warrior course.

1:20:42.720 --> 1:20:44.960
<v Speaker 5>That's that's insane. That's insane. They're too smart.

1:20:45.200 --> 1:20:49.400
<v Speaker 2>I agree. Every what is this Boston Dynamics. Every video

1:20:49.560 --> 1:20:52.040
<v Speaker 2>is a little bit scary. And I don't know why

1:20:52.240 --> 1:20:56.879
<v Speaker 2>they made the robot android walk with like a slightly

1:20:57.000 --> 1:20:57.680
<v Speaker 2>sneaky gait.

1:20:57.800 --> 1:20:58.479
<v Speaker 5>That's what I'm saying.

1:20:58.640 --> 1:21:02.320
<v Speaker 2>It's strolling, its like sneaking at all times, like it's

1:21:02.360 --> 1:21:05.360
<v Speaker 2>trying to make no noise because it's coming for you.

1:21:05.360 --> 1:21:08.200
<v Speaker 2>You're right, that hasn't gone too far yet, but it's

1:21:08.200 --> 1:21:08.960
<v Speaker 2>just a matter of time.

1:21:09.760 --> 1:21:12.960
<v Speaker 3>I would like these robots to perform any number of

1:21:13.080 --> 1:21:14.799
<v Speaker 3>draft combine exercise.

1:21:14.960 --> 1:21:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Great.

1:21:15.600 --> 1:21:19.439
<v Speaker 3>Interesting, Yeah, yeah, that just like pushed the limits of science.

1:21:19.560 --> 1:21:22.240
<v Speaker 3>Just like you know, a robot with one hundred foot

1:21:22.240 --> 1:21:23.960
<v Speaker 3>for girls next All Star weekend.

1:21:24.040 --> 1:21:25.800
<v Speaker 5>We should have that. Do the skills.

1:21:25.560 --> 1:21:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Challenge teams have to enter their own robots.

1:21:29.479 --> 1:21:30.559
<v Speaker 3>Did we just fix the NBA?

1:21:30.600 --> 1:21:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Also the.

1:21:32.640 --> 1:21:35.759
<v Speaker 3>Robots robots versus humans NBA skills contest?

1:21:35.840 --> 1:21:37.800
<v Speaker 2>I love it, JD? When did science go too far?

1:21:38.080 --> 1:21:42.719
<v Speaker 4>It's a shake weight, just plain, I'm sure it works,

1:21:43.600 --> 1:21:45.360
<v Speaker 4>but you look ridiculous.

1:21:45.360 --> 1:21:46.280
<v Speaker 2>The oscillations.

1:21:46.360 --> 1:21:49.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean it's getting those the muscles you never

1:21:49.400 --> 1:21:53.000
<v Speaker 4>knew you had. But the wanky wanky motion is it's

1:21:53.040 --> 1:21:54.759
<v Speaker 4>too much. You've gone too far science.

1:21:55.200 --> 1:21:56.760
<v Speaker 2>You think they came up with the motion or the

1:21:56.800 --> 1:21:59.880
<v Speaker 2>weight first? Hard to say?

1:22:00.320 --> 1:22:01.920
<v Speaker 4>It's great question, Yeah.

1:22:01.720 --> 1:22:04.839
<v Speaker 2>Final rapid fire question. The New York Times recently reported

1:22:05.080 --> 1:22:08.759
<v Speaker 2>on the enduring popularity of crocs. According to the Times,

1:22:08.800 --> 1:22:11.880
<v Speaker 2>people started buying crocs during the pandemic and now they

1:22:11.920 --> 1:22:15.600
<v Speaker 2>can't stop. Even JD got his pair that he was

1:22:15.640 --> 1:22:18.599
<v Speaker 2>talking about last week. So Fellas, what's something you started

1:22:18.680 --> 1:22:21.000
<v Speaker 2>during the pandemic that you haven't stopped.

1:22:21.160 --> 1:22:27.559
<v Speaker 3>Drum trash reality television. I avoided it for the longest time,

1:22:28.200 --> 1:22:32.800
<v Speaker 3>and then the pandemic happened. I was temporary furloughed from

1:22:32.880 --> 1:22:36.000
<v Speaker 3>my job and I watched, over the course of forty

1:22:36.000 --> 1:22:38.200
<v Speaker 3>eight hours back to back Tiger King and Love is

1:22:38.280 --> 1:22:42.840
<v Speaker 3>Blind Classic, And I've never been the same person since.

1:22:43.600 --> 1:22:46.040
<v Speaker 4>So you haven't been a You're still on the trash TV.

1:22:46.800 --> 1:22:49.519
<v Speaker 3>I'm still Yeah, So like there's been a like Love

1:22:49.600 --> 1:22:51.920
<v Speaker 3>is Blind, Love Island? Are you the one?

1:22:53.000 --> 1:22:53.080
<v Speaker 5>Just?

1:22:53.640 --> 1:22:55.760
<v Speaker 3>I had a couple of seasons of The Bachelor during

1:22:55.800 --> 1:22:57.160
<v Speaker 3>the pandemic in there or.

1:22:57.120 --> 1:22:58.160
<v Speaker 2>How many dating shows?

1:22:58.160 --> 1:23:00.439
<v Speaker 3>It sounds like it was heavy on the dating shows.

1:23:00.479 --> 1:23:03.760
<v Speaker 3>I didn't realize I was such a spicy person. You

1:23:03.800 --> 1:23:05.919
<v Speaker 3>really figured out a lot about yourself during the pandemic.

1:23:06.040 --> 1:23:08.080
<v Speaker 3>You look at yourself in the mirror and like, you

1:23:08.160 --> 1:23:12.080
<v Speaker 3>just want to see relationships be their most toxic apparently,

1:23:12.400 --> 1:23:16.000
<v Speaker 3>And so yeah, that's definitely what happened to me during

1:23:16.000 --> 1:23:17.679
<v Speaker 3>that time, and I haven't been the same since.

1:23:18.520 --> 1:23:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Great answer, Ash, what about you?

1:23:20.360 --> 1:23:24.599
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, this was an easy one for me. Eating over

1:23:24.640 --> 1:23:28.360
<v Speaker 5>eating the pandemic. Just stop it is ridiculous.

1:23:28.880 --> 1:23:30.120
<v Speaker 3>That was my second answer.

1:23:31.320 --> 1:23:34.040
<v Speaker 5>I got married right at the beginning of the pandemic,

1:23:34.160 --> 1:23:36.559
<v Speaker 5>and then you know, right after that, my wife got

1:23:36.600 --> 1:23:39.639
<v Speaker 5>pregnant and then we had the no no gems, can't

1:23:39.640 --> 1:23:41.800
<v Speaker 5>go work out, can't go play ball, none of that.

1:23:42.560 --> 1:23:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Right.

1:23:43.080 --> 1:23:45.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I gained like thirty pounds. Now I haven't

1:23:45.960 --> 1:23:48.680
<v Speaker 5>gained anymore. I've maintained it allre we go, but I

1:23:48.720 --> 1:23:49.559
<v Speaker 5>haven't lost any either.

1:23:50.080 --> 1:23:52.040
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it's all right. You still got the Tom

1:23:52.040 --> 1:23:52.439
<v Speaker 2>and Jerry.

1:23:52.560 --> 1:23:53.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah the great part.

1:23:53.960 --> 1:23:56.599
<v Speaker 2>You still got the mouse in the house, JD.

1:23:56.640 --> 1:24:01.360
<v Speaker 4>How about your Yeah, mine's food related as well. I've

1:24:01.360 --> 1:24:06.439
<v Speaker 4>rediscovered it during the pandemic and now it's a major

1:24:06.479 --> 1:24:11.040
<v Speaker 4>part of my life still. Hence the wait that before

1:24:11.080 --> 1:24:14.960
<v Speaker 4>this episode there's no bed. That's like a death row

1:24:15.280 --> 1:24:19.960
<v Speaker 4>item for me, right, like a final meal coissant, like

1:24:20.000 --> 1:24:23.719
<v Speaker 4>a like a toaster cssant with nitella. Oh my god,

1:24:25.040 --> 1:24:25.439
<v Speaker 4>so good.

1:24:25.680 --> 1:24:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah sounds good and you know it's healthy because they

1:24:27.760 --> 1:24:30.760
<v Speaker 2>put an orange on the front.

1:24:31.720 --> 1:24:34.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's easy when they say like it's like hazel

1:24:34.160 --> 1:24:36.719
<v Speaker 3>that bass, so you just assume, like, oh, you know, nuts,

1:24:36.720 --> 1:24:39.480
<v Speaker 3>it's a trail mix protein.

1:24:39.400 --> 1:24:44.160
<v Speaker 4>Packed with protein, nuts, vitamins, minerals.

1:24:44.200 --> 1:24:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Amazing, It's delicious, delicious, delicious spread well, and those were

1:24:50.720 --> 1:24:54.559
<v Speaker 2>some delicious answers. What a show? What do you think?

1:24:55.000 --> 1:24:56.840
<v Speaker 5>I think it went pretty good. I hope it went good.

1:24:56.880 --> 1:25:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I rate yourself right now and a half way higher. Buddy, Okay,

1:25:02.240 --> 1:25:05.320
<v Speaker 2>thanks seven point six about you? I think you did.

1:25:05.360 --> 1:25:07.439
<v Speaker 3>It's over nine thousand.

1:25:07.560 --> 1:25:09.000
<v Speaker 5>Oh that's a great answer.

1:25:09.240 --> 1:25:13.120
<v Speaker 2>That's a great answer. Great stuff, great show. This is

1:25:13.160 --> 1:25:17.120
<v Speaker 2>actually our last no Dunks episode of the week. We

1:25:17.200 --> 1:25:19.920
<v Speaker 2>have No Buffs a little bit later today with Jason

1:25:19.960 --> 1:25:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Concepsio and we're gonna try and go live at one

1:25:22.280 --> 1:25:25.320
<v Speaker 2>pm Eastern. If you watch Survivor last night. Should be

1:25:25.360 --> 1:25:27.759
<v Speaker 2>fun to talk to him kind of at a dorky

1:25:27.800 --> 1:25:31.320
<v Speaker 2>show today. Might have no buffs as well. They were

1:25:31.320 --> 1:25:33.639
<v Speaker 2>talking Star Wars, they were talking Lord of the Rings,

1:25:33.640 --> 1:25:37.120
<v Speaker 2>they were talking Pokemon last night on Survivor. Really, so

1:25:37.160 --> 1:25:38.760
<v Speaker 2>we got to get Jason's take on that, because you

1:25:38.800 --> 1:25:41.960
<v Speaker 2>know he's deep. He's deep in the game as well. Tomorrow,

1:25:42.240 --> 1:25:47.280
<v Speaker 2>no no no dunks tomorrow morning. But I hear there

1:25:47.320 --> 1:25:49.320
<v Speaker 2>may be a no Dinks dropping in the feed.

1:25:49.560 --> 1:25:51.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we might drop a no Dinks. There was a

1:25:51.720 --> 1:25:56.200
<v Speaker 4>big tournament over the weekend Daytona MLP twenty twenty three,

1:25:56.880 --> 1:26:00.760
<v Speaker 4>very exciting. Rachel's been bothering me to do a podcast,

1:26:00.880 --> 1:26:03.040
<v Speaker 4>so we will be. And there's nothing happening tomorrow, so

1:26:03.040 --> 1:26:04.360
<v Speaker 4>we might drop that in the feed.

1:26:04.600 --> 1:26:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Excellent, Stay tuned for that one. On Saturday, we'll be

1:26:07.520 --> 1:26:14.280
<v Speaker 2>re releasing Fast Friends four from Fast and Furious, not

1:26:14.479 --> 1:26:16.840
<v Speaker 2>the Fast and the Furious, which was the first one

1:26:16.880 --> 1:26:19.920
<v Speaker 2>of those movies, but the fourth one where things really

1:26:19.920 --> 1:26:23.160
<v Speaker 2>turn into an action franchise, I would say, and we

1:26:23.280 --> 1:26:26.840
<v Speaker 2>hit a new era in the Fast franchise. So that

1:26:26.920 --> 1:26:31.160
<v Speaker 2>will come on Saturday. If you are in Houston or

1:26:31.200 --> 1:26:33.400
<v Speaker 2>somewhere in Texas, or you want to make the trip out.

1:26:33.680 --> 1:26:37.000
<v Speaker 2>We've got a live show Monday, April third, at six

1:26:37.080 --> 1:26:40.759
<v Speaker 2>pm Houston time. That will be our show on Monday.

1:26:40.760 --> 1:26:43.920
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna have no daily show the morning of Monday,

1:26:43.960 --> 1:26:45.720
<v Speaker 2>but we're hoping to stream that one.

1:26:46.120 --> 1:26:48.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, right here, Yeah, that's the plan. We will

1:26:48.400 --> 1:26:51.320
<v Speaker 4>be live streaming it. But you gotta come. You gotta

1:26:51.360 --> 1:26:53.200
<v Speaker 4>come and drinking Neutral.

1:26:53.360 --> 1:26:54.519
<v Speaker 2>You gotta come, have a neutral.

1:26:54.640 --> 1:26:58.120
<v Speaker 4>I think it will be flowing. I think they're actually given.

1:26:57.840 --> 1:26:59.839
<v Speaker 2>Some out so the neutral will be flowing.

1:27:00.160 --> 1:27:03.040
<v Speaker 4>L Neutral will flow awesome.

1:27:03.080 --> 1:27:06.479
<v Speaker 2>Laura was having a strawberry lemonade one last night. She's like,

1:27:06.520 --> 1:27:08.240
<v Speaker 2>these are good. Yeah, I said, would you drink it

1:27:08.280 --> 1:27:12.320
<v Speaker 2>outside at a pool? She said absolutely. So there's a

1:27:12.360 --> 1:27:16.280
<v Speaker 2>recommendation that will be my contribution to the Neutral throw

1:27:16.400 --> 1:27:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Down when we're talking at it. So that'll be I

1:27:18.960 --> 1:27:21.679
<v Speaker 2>guess what seven pm Eastern will be when it's going

1:27:21.760 --> 1:27:24.840
