30
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: Seeing as we've almost reached the end of twenty nineteen

31
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: and we're all feeling a little festive, we thought this

32
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: would be a great time to tackle some fun holiday

33
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: themed questions. So we're gonna make some NBA Christmas wishless.

34
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna share our best moments, our favorite moments from

35
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. We're gonna make some New Year's resolutions, and

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: if we have time, we're even gonna host a little

37
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: secret Santa exchange some last minute gifts with each other

38
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: here in the office. But we start by building and

39
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: creating our NBA Naughty and Nice lists. Who do you

40
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: have on your naughty list from this past season?

41
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: I start with all the boys who are suspended for

42
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: being bad boys. John Collins taking an HGH hormone DeAndre

43
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: eight and taking a diuretic to wash out some sort

44
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: of HGH hormone related drug. It wasn't we don't know

45
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: what it was, but it was something that he shouldn't

46
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: have been taking. And Wilson Chandler as well. We always

47
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: forget about Wilson Chandler who's on the Brooklyn Nets, did

48
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 3: the same thing. Very naughty.

49
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 4: Sorry, what a bad day on White is if talking

50
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 4: about suspensions, I mean.

51
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: He's got his own list.

52
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we're checking that three yeah.

53
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 4: I mean no, just in terms of like these guys

54
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 4: certainly they've taken you know, a Dragon direct or whatever,

55
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 4: they've been suspended for it, but they're going to get

56
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 4: back in the league. Dan Waiders is playing himself out

57
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 4: of the league, I think, or not playing himself out

58
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 4: of the league. He's he's suspending himself out of the league.

59
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 4: And he's a young guy. He's got he earned that

60
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: contract in Miami. And now we heard just the other

61
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: day that he's virtually untradeable, which is that's that's an

62
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 4: impossible feat in today's NBA.

63
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 5: White elephant gift you don't want. I think maybe you

64
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 5: should add Liellis to this list because you must be

65
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 5: on a dioretic. I see you peeing after every show

66
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 5: we record.

67
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: Here, you see me because you're standing in the store

68
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 4: right next to me.

69
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, we're jacked.

70
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: How do you think we're dropping like two or three

71
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: podcasts every day. Everybody's on HGH. Here in the office.

72
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 5: It's like the nineteen nineties baseball back to back Jacks

73
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 5: because we're all lighted up. John Collins was highest on

74
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 5: my list amongst guys who were suspended because the Hawks

75
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 5: were fun for those first five games.

76
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: But that's all.

77
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 5: It was two and three when he was suspended, and

78
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 5: it was right before the Hawks went into the hardest

79
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 5: part of their schedule. They had a five game West

80
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 5: Coast road trip, then they came home to face the Bucks.

81
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 5: They got a nice win when Trey Young had that

82
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 5: huge game against the Denver Nuggets. But for a team

83
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 5: that was seemed promising come into the season, they kind

84
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 5: of just got derailed right away, losing their second best player.

85
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 5: And at this point, Travis Schlank has been saying that

86
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 5: the front office projected they would win thirty to thirty

87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 5: one games.

88
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: That would be a good season. Now for the Hawks,

89
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: thirty wins.

90
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: It was crazy with all specially you know Eyton and Collins.

91
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: How many really at the same time and being young,

92
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: good players. I mean, these weren't you know, end of

93
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: the bench guys or maybe even Wilson Chandler's case, more

94
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: of a vet and a little more in the offseason.

95
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: But it was strange. It was a huge story. You know,

96
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: this breaking is this? Is this a problem in the NBA?

97
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: Are there are way more guys doing this type of

98
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: stuff than we we maybe thought there were not much

99
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: sinse that so either everyone was like either these were

100
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: just weird little it was a weird little blip here anomaly,

101
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: or everybody cleaned up their act. I don't know who knows,

102
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: but it was strange that these were great players that

103
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: got dimmed here and penalized quite harshly. It's a good

104
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: chunk of the season.

105
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 4: I mean, I would guess there's a lot of guys

106
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: who still get away with it right throughout the league.

107
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 4: I mean, this wouldn't be the only guys who get

108
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: who were doing something or taking something they shouldn't be.

109
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 4: It's just whether or not you get caught, and if

110
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 4: you do, the punishment is fairly strict.

111
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: All right, So those guys yes getting suspended. I mean

112
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: you threw Diane Waiters in there as well. We can

113
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: I think just leave that at that. It's definitely on

114
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: the nautilist. Who else you got?

115
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: I'm going with a from a team angle, and I'm

116
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 4: going with the Minnesota Timberwolves. I just think it's just

117
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 4: turning into another wasted season for them. And they started

118
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 4: off three and oh four and one at one stage.

119
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 4: And remember Karl Anthony Towns early on looked different, being

120
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 4: a stronger, aggressive guy, MVP talk very very early, but

121
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 4: deserving because he was putting up big numbers and they're winning.

122
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: And now you look where they've sort of fallen to.

123
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 4: They've lost eight in a row and they're already back

124
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: to where they sort of tend to be battling just

125
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 4: to even make the playoffs. And you know, it seems

126
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 4: to be a bit of a groundhog day with them.

127
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 4: We had Andrew Wiggins, he was Wiggans Island for a while.

128
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 4: There was the hottest ticket in town.

129
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of the Wolves, someone sort of Wolves adjacent

130
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 3: that's been a bad boy, but a bad woman in

131
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: the situation. Lizzo the singer who was at the Lakers game,

132
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 3: who was commenting on Karl Anthony town So she seemed

133
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: like she really really wanted to get get to know

134
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 3: Karl Anthony till Towns very well. She was wearing I

135
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 3: guess the best depictor was assless chaps. Where could she

136
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: was removed from the game because of her attire? Lee,

137
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 3: You don't think that they would categorize her as ninety.

138
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know what ask these chaps are?

139
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: You own a pair?

140
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 4: But I don't wear them to the office. I say

141
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 4: them for you know, when I'm out with my kids

142
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 4: in the park.

143
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: But they wouldn't even show her on the Jumbo Trump

144
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: because they're a taire.

145
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: Okay, anyway, getting back to the Wolves here though, the

146
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: biggest you know, one of their biggest problems is they're

147
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: an awful home team. They're actually not too bad on

148
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: the road. They're over five hundred, which is you know,

149
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 4: if you can break five hundred on the road, you

150
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 4: should be in the playoffs. But they're three and ten

151
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 4: at home, and again, I'm just not sure where the

152
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 4: improvement is going to come from. There's talk that they're

153
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 4: interested in trading for Dennis Smith Jr. Who hasn't been

154
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 4: able to get his season going in New York. I'm

155
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 4: not sure what that would bring to the team. You know,

156
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 4: you mentioned we talk already about Wiggins and then j FT,

157
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 4: former All Star. But clearly you know this team has

158
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 4: got some serious issues, and I've mentioned a lot. I

159
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 4: think there's going to be a point where Towns is

160
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 4: just like, what's going on here? I don't don't think

161
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 4: I want to be a part of this.

162
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: One point? Does this fall on Towns though to some degree?

163
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: How they've had one playoff appearance with him? When when

164
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: when do these losing streaks and when do these bad

165
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: seasons fall on him?

166
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: Right, that's a good question. When does he get the

167
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: cousin's treatment when he was with the Kings.

168
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, well eventually they cut bait with him as well.

169
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, you know, maybe that's maybe the Wolves look

170
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: at this and go, well, he's our best asset, you know,

171
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: while he's still young. Maybe we try to trade and

172
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 4: start and start all over again. But I'm not sure.

173
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: But honestly, I just don't see. I'm just not sure

174
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 4: how this is going to get any better, to the

175
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 4: point where it's like, okay, now the Wolves are battling for,

176
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 4: you know, not just the playoffs, but to make some

177
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 4: noise in the playoffs, because they seem to be a

178
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 4: long way away from that. Two seasons go. Of course

179
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 4: with Jimmy Butler, they make the playoffs, lose to Houston,

180
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 4: but you felt that's the first stepping stone and now

181
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 4: just going backwards, there.

182
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: Needs to be a shakeup. I think we all agree

183
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: with that. I mean, look, I'm sure they're trying to

184
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: move Wigans, they're trying to move to where they're trying

185
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: to bring in someone, be it I mean, I hope

186
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: it's a little better or shooting higher than Dennis Smith junior,

187
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: you know, be it a D'Angelo or is there any

188
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: way to get a Drew or something. But yeah, they

189
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: gotta do something because it does feel like a whole

190
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: lot of the same, just sort of another disappointing year.

191
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 5: This is the first year of Towns's massive extension. Though

192
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 5: he's only twenty four years old. He will definitely catch

193
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 5: the flak, I would imagine by the end of this season.

194
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 5: But they aren't going to be in no hurry to

195
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 5: be moving him or really giving him any.

196
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: Sort of leverage.

197
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 5: So, I mean, they've got time on this, and it's

198
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 5: gonna have to be Wiggins that is gone. I mean,

199
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 5: that seems to me the only shake up that makes

200
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 5: any sort of sense, because he could still have value

201
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 5: to another team, especially with seeing the way he played

202
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 5: to start off the season. He's still got a good

203
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 5: pedigree and he's not necessarily locked up for quite as long.

204
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 3: Who else about three for ninety plus right now? What's

205
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 3: more tradable that? Or Kevin Love? I mean the very

206
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: similar contracts. Yeah, I mean it's I just find it

207
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: hard to see that Wiggins contract being moved this season, right, But.

208
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: We always say that about deals, But yeah, then it happens,

209
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: and it happens.

210
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 3: I guess, So I guess. I guess they're all tradable.

211
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: Anyone else on the naughty list or shall we move to?

212
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: I think Nikola Jokic can be thrown in. He just

213
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 3: acts as if he knows he's doing wrong things all

214
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: the time, you know, like he knows that he shouldn't

215
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 3: be drinking another coke or drink, like he just knows,

216
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: he just he knows he seems like a bit of

217
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 3: a malcontent out on the floor, like you know, the

218
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: slump shoulders. He's always sort of been that way. He

219
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: knows he's could be better, he could be doing the

220
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 3: right things, but he's just acting out at all times.

221
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: It feels like, although you know, the numbers are still

222
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: great and he's been picking it up as as recently,

223
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: so he's just he's he may just not be an

224
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 3: MVP candidate and that's okay.

225
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: He just maybe we all in awesome, it's a possibility,

226
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: as we were very quick to say, oh he's he's

227
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: right there. He's top five in the league.

228
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he's also at twenty ten and nine basically

229
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 5: for December, shooting fifty percent from the field thirty four

230
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 5: from three, so he's rounding into form. Maybe it's just

231
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 5: like the thing in December where you act extra good

232
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 5: and extra nice to people so you can get on

233
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 5: the nice list. He was on the naughty list for

234
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 5: sure through October and November, but I have a feeling

235
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 5: the Nuggets are turning it around quick naughty.

236
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: I think this one relates to you the most Skeets

237
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 3: as Dwight Howard has a cameo account where you request

238
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: videos from him, personalized videos. Hey, I'm going to give

239
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 3: you X amount of dollars. I believe Dwight charges two

240
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty bucks wow for you to get a

241
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: personalized video. Somebody requested a video and he took it

242
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: well on the toilet and sent it out. Naughty, naughty,

243
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: not cool classic. You have a cameo account to skeats.

244
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: Well, I would never do that. It would be a

245
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: five second long video with me on fifty. I'm not

246
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: charging two fifty, I'm charging. I'm charging a cool thirty

247
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: dollars to get a little personalized, very personalized. I'd like

248
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 1: to add stealing the cameo video. Oh but yeah, I

249
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't do that on a toilet. That is pretty gross,

250
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: very I mean, we shouldn't even have our phones in

251
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: the toilet area.

252
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 4: Come on, come on, who doesn't I know guilty. Yeah,

253
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 4: everyone does it. That's our that's our little moment. Now

254
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 4: spot where it's like, all right, this is where we

255
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 4: do it. You know, we should take the laptop in

256
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 4: like that's good.

257
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: We should have something now that you say this out loud,

258
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: especially in an office setting. Let's say you can have

259
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: it at home too. But you're you're on the can,

260
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: you're on your phone. You're right, everybody is. People out

261
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 1: there are and then when you're done. It'd be cool

262
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: if like on the back of the door stall there

263
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: was like a little thing you could like almost like

264
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: a little mini car wash for your phone that you

265
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: could drop it into and it sort of just goes

266
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: through it and they're like boom.

267
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: You're like, all right, good, got to be something.

268
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: But then I know that that's actually strange because then

269
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: you got to go and wash your hands, because then

270
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: you've already touched your phone.

271
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 6: There's a copy your phone meets you at the drying table.

272
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 4: It's like a sected at the airport. You know, you

273
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 4: you put it on the question pick it up, okay.

274
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 6: Yes, here we come.

275
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: Recently, it felt like the airport here in our office

276
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 3: because the Mere Blumenfeld this year he had our interview

277
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: with him, had our podcast with him. I showed him

278
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 3: the I was walking him out and he said, you know,

279
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 3: I'm going to stop in the bathroom. He had his

280
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: bag because he was flying out, and he left it

281
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 3: outside the bathroom door. It just felt odd if we're

282
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: at a work environment he leaves it outside the bathroom door.

283
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 3: At the same time, why would you bring it in

284
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 3: with you. Yeah, there's really no need, no need to

285
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 3: get any splashback or anything on that bag. So yeah,

286
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 3: good move, very good, great move.

287
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: And we're not going to pitch that idea JD to

288
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: Shark Tank. We're going on shart Tank. Okay, So, anyone

289
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: else in the nudio you want to move to.

290
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 3: The nice list, I'm ready to move.

291
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: Let's go.

292
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 4: We got Well, you're talking about Twight. Howd I actually

293
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 4: have him on my nice list? I think this has

294
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 4: been an incredibly basically perfect rehabilitation season for Dwight. How

295
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 4: because if DeMarcus Cousins doesn't get injured, is Dwight even

296
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 4: in the league. Probably, I would say someone probably would

297
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: have picked him up, a desperate team, maybe someone like

298
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 4: the Blazers if they got you know, so frustrated with

299
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 4: Hassan Whiteside, but not definitely. And the fact that Dwight

300
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 4: has talked for a few years about saying, you know what,

301
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 4: I'm ready to accept whatever role. It hasn't really worked out.

302
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 4: You know, he's in Washington last season, barely played, got

303
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 4: traded to Memphis and then waved. He was free any

304
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: team could have signed him for a long while, and

305
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 4: eventually the situation happened in LA. They were a little

306
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 4: bit skeptical, but they came to an agreement. They gave

307
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: him a non guaranteed deal.

308
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: It was after a workout with Jokim Noah as well, yeah,

309
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: you've got to pick somebody else.

310
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. And you know, Dwight has come in there

311
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 4: and has really lived up to what he said he

312
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 4: was going to do. Become a role player, go back

313
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 4: to sort of just defending at one end, catching lobs

314
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 4: at the other. But not only that. The on court

315
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 4: stuff is great, but off the court, I think he

316
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 4: has become that lovable Dwight that he was ten years ago,

317
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 4: you know, before before all the sort of disaster there

318
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 4: in Orlando when he tried to force his way out

319
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 4: and his career really fell off the cliff. He's become fun.

320
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 4: You know, he's got the crazy hair, he's having laughs,

321
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 4: He's there sticking up for his teammates.

322
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: He's healthy, health, I mean, he's at times he throws

323
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: down some dunks.

324
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: You're like, whoa, whoa, he's back.

325
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 4: That's some dweight from from yearsually now and the Lakers

326
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 4: I mean, they're, you know, if the top two teams

327
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 4: in the league right now. Obviously not just because of him,

328
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 4: but certainly he's having an enormous impact when he does

329
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 4: play on that team. And some nights he only plays

330
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: a handful of minute. Some nights he plays twenty. But

331
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 4: there's been no baggage at all with Dwight Howard.

332
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: Do you say, Dwight Howard for Christmas? What do you want?

333
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: Like a whoopie cushion?

334
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: Do you think he doesn't have whoopy cushions?

335
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 4: That's true?

336
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 5: What do you buy for the man that has all

337
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 5: the whoopie cushions in the world?

338
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 4: To say, another whoopee cushion?

339
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good one. Dwight Howard on the naice

340
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: list this holiday season. You can't deny that.

341
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 5: He was on my nice list along with Carmelo Anthony,

342
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 5: who is basically the same thing. He was out of

343
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 5: the league for a year. He's putting up sixteen and

344
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 5: seven for the Blazers. They're seven and seven since he

345
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 5: joined the team. They were five and nine when they

346
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 5: signed him and were looking like they might be falling

347
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 5: out of the playoffs. They're going to be in the

348
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 5: mix and a lot of it is because Mellow's given

349
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 5: them a little extra scoring. They're not having to play

350
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 5: some of their lesser players quite as much, and he

351
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 5: just gave him a little shot in the arm of energy.

352
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: Mellow and Dwight, they're back.

353
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 3: Nice rehabilitation stories right there. I'll throw in Jimmy Butler

354
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: because he's had no issues there in Miami, a guy

355
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 3: who you know, likes to stir the pod a little

356
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: bit in his recent his recent stops in the NBA.

357
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: But things are working so so, so, so so well

358
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: in Miami, and Jimmy Butler hasn't had to be you know,

359
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 3: it hasn't had to really be the lead guy. It's

360
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: easy to forget, I think, because all the credit goes

361
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 3: to Jimmy Butler, you know, you know, the the diehard

362
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 3: basketball fans. They realize he's getting a ton of support

363
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: from bam Adebaio and Kendrick Nunning down the line. But

364
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: when it comes down to voting for the All Star Game,

365
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 3: people will just say, on Miami, Jimmy Butler. Yeah, but

366
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 3: he's not, like he's not taking over the league by

367
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: any means. He's actually not shooting the ball that well

368
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 3: from three point land not good at all, and he's not.

369
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 3: He's scoring twenty one points a game, which is you know,

370
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: Evan Fournier like numbers. But he's playing his role really well.

371
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: He's helping out his team offensively. He's he's on the

372
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: nice list.

373
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great one.

374
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 5: What else you got, Kemba Walker, He's on my nice list.

375
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 5: Twenty four points, five assists per game, forty three from

376
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 5: the field, forty one from three, and he's making the

377
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 5: chemistry Majors look smart because the Celtics just look like

378
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 5: a happy team. They kind of look similar to when

379
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving first joined the team and he was happy

380
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 5: to just chill, be the fourth quarter guy and get

381
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 5: everybody involved. That's exactly what Kemba's doing. The Celtics have

382
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 5: been great, no steps backwards, they're taking steps forward, and

383
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 5: their young players are playing better. I don't necessarily know

384
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 5: that just having Kemba Walker they're smiling is the reason

385
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 5: why Jason and Jalen are great players. But things look

386
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 5: good for the Celtics right now. And you know, after

387
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 5: the way last season ended, it was easy to kind

388
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,239
Speaker 5: of be like, hah, you fools. You had all these

389
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 5: assets and you did nothing with them, and you lost

390
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 5: Kyrie Irving. It worked out all right for Boston.

391
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: It's like you're at your Christmas dinner, your holiday dinner,

392
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: and there's like that one uncle or ant that's got

393
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: that dowur mood or something like that can drag everybody down.

394
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: That's the problem. That's right, You're bringing bad energy to

395
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: the table, Karen, So you know, get out of here, Karen, honestly.

396
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 1: And then then seems to be a little the case

397
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: there with Kyrie not being there and then them playing

398
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: obviously well and they built the chemistry up with Team

399
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: USA of course and have carried it into the season

400
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: and have done well despite injuries. Celtics have to hate

401
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: it at times and Marcus smart at times and still

402
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: putting together the winds and looking like a pretty formiatile

403
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: threat there in the Eastern Conference. Kemba, we got anyone else?

404
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 4: Luca. Luca's been fantastic this season, almost averaging a triple

405
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 4: double twenty nine points, nine rebands, nine A seats. We

406
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 4: haven't seen a triple double average in the league since

407
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 4: last season. It's been a while now, but really he

408
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 4: has just been fantastic and Dallas are certainly in contention.

409
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 4: They're going to make the playoffs, it's just where or

410
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 4: not where they finish. But I mean for a twenty

411
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 4: year old kid, I mean, he's putting up numbers that

412
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 4: we haven't seen since a Jordan or a Lebron, someone

413
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 4: who came into league early, and just he's so much

414
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 4: fun to watch. He shoes forty eight percent from the field,

415
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 4: Like it's not like he's just out there jacking up

416
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 4: shots all over the place. He's getting his teammates involved.

417
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 4: Fun to watch. So everything about Luc I mean, we

418
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 4: know he's in the MVP conversation. He's probably in that

419
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 4: sort of second tier, I would say, But if he

420
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 4: is able to continue that in the second half of

421
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 4: the season, I mean, maybe he does force his way

422
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 4: into into MVP this season, but.

423
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: That'll be the fasting part. Can he do what he

424
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: has done here up until the Christmas break for the

425
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Yeah, I mean, he's done it

426
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: longer than I thought he would be able to sort

427
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: of maintain it, you know, before the injury. Can he

428
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: do it for another you know what, four or five

429
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: months and then into a playoff series and can he

430
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: then even take it to another level? I'm, you know,

431
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: twenty years old like that. Maybe at this point I

432
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't be shocked. I guess I'd be more shocked if

433
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: he didn't the way he's been playing, because you're right,

434
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't force things. He's always in control. And uh,

435
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 1: you know along with that great the mild stallions there,

436
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: that that bench production from the MAVs, and then Porzing

437
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: is sort of starting to find his groove a little bit,

438
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: you know, before Luca left with the injury, and then

439
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: even with him out, they you know, a fun team obviously,

440
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: a team that you want to watch. I know you're

441
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: watching every Mavericks game there is. You put every Luca

442
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: clip up a magic ball Luca like tuxas jersey and

443
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: he's like, whoa check this outg IBALLMG, hey, you got

444
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: to tuck your shirt in this year, otherwise that could

445
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: cost you a game. That's that's right, all right? Great

446
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: start here with the NBA Naughty and Nice lists. Anyone else,

447
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: We'll move on to our NBA Christmas wish list. What

448
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: do you have on your NBA Christmas wish list? I

449
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: would just like to remind you last year when we

450
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: did this my NBA Christmas wish list was the Raptors too.

451
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: I wasn't even that great. I said to make the

452
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference finals or finals because they were playing well

453
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: at the time. I'm hoping, Yeah, let's this will finally

454
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: be the year they go deep. Santa is listening. Santa's

Speaker 1: real Yeah, he subscribed in the clutch.

456
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: He listens on Podbean.

457
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: I think delivering delivering a Raptors champions come believe. I

458
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: had to go back and double check that, but that's

459
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,280

00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: Realistically?

464
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 3: Okay, well, they like the little tiny things. Get rid

465
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 3: of the coaches channels. We don't want that, yep. I

466
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: want Aaron Gordon to find a new spot. It's we're

467
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 3: sort of reading reaching like Lee was talking about with

468
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 3: the Wolves. I don't know if Aaron Gordon's gonna take

469
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: another take another step in Orlando. We may have reached

470
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 3: plateau Aaron in beautiful city there in Orlando. But my

471
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 3: wish is is a bit of an odd one because

472
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 3: it's a guy we haven't thought about in a while,

473
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 3: John Wall, to just play bring him back, because a

474
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago he had that double pump dominique

475
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 3: like reverse in warm ups. Okay, so this guy's not

476
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 3: supposed to come back till next year, but he sits

477
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 3: outside a three point line. This was a toss. This

478
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 3: was a double pump on a toss. He tosses it up,

479
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 3: bounces perfectly in the lane, grabs it, double pump down.

480
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 3: Now John Wall and Bradley Beal teamed up with Davias

481
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 3: Burton's the way he's chucking it with, you know, Ruey

482
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 3: when he comes back to playoff team Baby. So I

483
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: kind of would like to see John Wall. He's a

484
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 3: very very good player, and it's I know we have

485
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 3: short memory life or short memories in the NBA world,

486
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: but even watching him in these warm ups where he's

487
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 3: not going one hundred percent, the guy is so fast

488
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 3: next and no one would stay in front of him

489
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 3: if he if he was dedicated to his craft, and

490
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 3: maybe maybe maybe maybe he's at another point in his

491
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 3: career like some of these guys we've talked about with

492
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 3: your rehabilitations, and that would be a heck of a team.

493
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 3: So let's get Johnny Wall back in the Eastern Conference.

494
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: Once john Wall back not bad. I like that, and

495
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: I'll piggyback off your trading, Aaron Gordon, I got on

496
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: my wish list. Just give us some trades. It's been

497
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: too long. We haven't had one, you know, since the

498
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook trade, which was a great trade, don't get

499
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: me wrong, but come on, that's been a long time now,

500
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: especially with the format that we're doing the show now,

501
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: like we are built and ready to go for some

502
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: emergency podcasts.

503
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 5: We're here every night just waiting, just checking the tweets.

504
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 5: Any trades, any trades, Nope, guess we'll go home.

505
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: As long as it doesn't happen over the Christmas break,

506
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: that's right. Okay, just don't trade anything anyone over the

507
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: Christmas break. But otherwise we are ready to go, and

508
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: I want to be able to like Kevin Love's got traded.

509
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you know, sound the alarms, get the

510
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: no dunk's signal up there, batman, let's go to work.

511
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: Let's break it down. I want Kevin Low, I want

512
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: Drew Holiday move Aaron Gordon, like you said, Tomato Rosen.

513
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 4: Maybe that's what we're waiting for, that first one to

514
00:23:59,160 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 4: fall and then.

515
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: The dominos will then happen. Sure, but I want some

516
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: trades because I want to be able to jump on

517
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: the mic and break it down with you guys. So

518
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: that's on my Christmas.

519
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: Who do you think is the worst player?

520
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 5: We would do an emergency trade podcast for like realistic Yeah,

521
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 5: like Covington gets traded, are we coming in here?

522
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: I was even gonna say, if Andrew Wiggins gets traded,

523
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: are we doing an emergency podcast for Wiggins?

524
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 2: Maybe show from Wiggins Island?

525
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good idea.

526
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 4: Of course, it depends on the deal really. I mean,

527
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 4: if he's just going for picks and you know, a

528
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 4: cash dump, no, But if there's a block but let's

529
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 4: say it's Derosen, then yeah, it's a Blockbusters. Well two

530
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 4: big names, you know, Okay.

531
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: So yeah, okay, I got y. Yeah, So that in

532
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: that instance, we would well depends when it happens to Like,

533
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: if it happens the night before, then we'll be like, Okay,

534
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: that's fine, we'll just come in and talk about it

535
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: on the Daily Show. But I want to know what's

536
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: bringing us into the office. That's seven o'clo like it.

537
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 4: Nate, Well, what happens if it's during the show as well?

538
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 4: We I mean.

539
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 2: Continue the show.

540
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but do we want that second show. We're all

541
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 4: about multiple shows this year. That's true.

542
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 1: It's true. How to give the people options exactly, So okay,

543
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: we want trades?

544
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 4: What else?

545
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: What else on your.

546
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 4: Well, well sort of touched on it there. You know what,

547
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 4: the coaches Challenge. Everyone hates it. No one really knows

548
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 4: how it works, Nobody likes it. It's only going to

549
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 4: be a one season experiment, we believe. So remember back

550
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 4: in two thousand and six when the NBA introduced that

551
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 4: micro fiber ball, and David Stern was kind of like, nope,

552
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 4: this is the ball going forward. There was some blowback

553
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 4: he expected that at the start. Three months in they said,

554
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 4: you know what, all right, you're right, we're going to

555
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 4: scrap it and go back to the old balls. So

556
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 4: in this case, if the Coach's Challenge isn't something that

557
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 4: people love and is not going to be around for

558
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 4: any longer, you.

559
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: Know what, scrap it. Yeah.

560
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 4: I don't think anyone's going to go Ah. I can't

561
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 4: believe they scrapped it. You know, I'm okay with it

562
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 4: because I'm okay, you're trying things out like this and.

563
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: Seeing out that's the thing. I think you can make

564
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: it better.

565
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 4: That's that's the point. That's the point is because we

566
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 4: don't always know if it's something you can challenge or not.

567
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 4: And then you see sometimes where it's like, well they

568
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 4: could have challenged, but they or they would have been

569
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 4: able to challenge, but they don't have any left and

570
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 4: there's a clear error being made. That's the problem. Of course,

571
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 4: the big one was the James Harden dunk against San Antonio.

572
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 4: I mean, clearly an error was made and not corrected.

573
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 4: The Rockets lose and they were unhappy. Youn't fair enough,

574
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 4: fair enough. So there's still some work to be done.

575
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 4: But in terms of what the actual challenge is right now,

576
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 4: if no one likes it, just scrap it.

577
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's being said with the coaches challenge thing. Yeah,

578
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 3: we could improve it with the James Horns scenario, but

579
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: if you get rid of the coach's challenge, that dunk

580
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 3: still would have happened and they still want to call

581
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 3: it back right like that.

582
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 4: Well, that's what I'm saying is that there's instances like

583
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 4: that where you don't. You shouldn't need a coach's challenge.

584
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 4: You should say, hang on, hang on, hang on, something

585
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 4: something went wrong here? Okay, we can see that's a

586
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 4: clear basket. How mistakes we've.

587
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 1: Talked about before. It's like the whole three. Is your

588
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: foot on the three point line? Is it a two

589
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: or three?

590
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 4: As well?

591
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 3: At it?

592
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out.

593
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 4: You see as well, sometimes in a game where a

594
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 4: refereel and make a call and then they'll confer and

595
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 4: they'll overturn that call, that happens from the game. Almost

596
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 4: almost once a game, something like that would happen. So

597
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 4: you can still get these things right without necessarily having

598
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 4: to have a coach's challenge to contest it.

599
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: It will be I think it will be interesting to

600
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,959
Speaker 1: see whether or not we keep it next season, depending

601
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 1: on how it goes in the playoffs. Like it could

602
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: really be beneficial in a playoff series. Obviously a huge

603
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: call in a late game that means something of whether

604
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 1: or not you're moving. On the flip side of that,

605
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: it could ruin a game or something like that. I mean,

606
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: everybody's there's always gonna be one side that's generally gonna

607
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: be upset anyway. But if it goes maybe a little

608
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: more smoother or works better, I guess, for lack of

609
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: a better term, in the playoffs, and I think they'd

610
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: be more inclined to keep it, you know what I mean? Yeah,

611
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 1: because that's what it's really truly going to matter.

612
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 5: It's it's a real catch twenty two for the league

613
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 5: because people do hate it right now, so maybe they

614
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 5: would want to get rid of it. But then there

615
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 5: comes something that happens in the playoffs, and guarantee it

616
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 5: would happen to the Rockets, and then they'd say, hey,

617
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 5: we want to review that. You gave us reviews at

618
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 5: the beginning of the season, then you took them away

619
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 5: just like that.

620
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 3: It's a slippery slope. That's what I think as well.

621
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: Yep, it's a look. I don't think it's making a

622
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: great I don't think it's making a better product is

623
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, either, Let's not forget

624
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: that with all the ratings talk and stuff like that,

625
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: it is making the viewing experience longer and worse because

626
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: no one wants to watch, you know, a couple refs

627
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: look at a monitor or go and see Joe Borgia

628
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: doing the teapot up in secaucas or you know, seeing

629
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: obviously a million replays where even on the one million

630
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: three play you're like, huh, I don't know, I can't

631
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: even tell.

632
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 5: Still, yeah, that'll be an unfortunate part would be seeing

633
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 5: less Borgia saw him recently. He had on a basketball

634
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 5: tie while he was there in secaucas There's like five

635
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 5: Borges on the screen, So that's something that would be

636
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 5: a downside to getting out of the challenge.

637
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 3: And you must love Miney McCutcheon in the referees office

638
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 3: as well, stressed to the ninth to.

639
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 5: The nines, looking like Chris Paul tailored suit delivered straight

640
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 5: to Manni McCutchen. And another thing that needs to change

641
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 5: is that they have the same signal for review.

642
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 2: And offensive interference.

643
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 5: We can't come up with something else besides the old

644
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 5: swirly worly use that for a home run as well.

645
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 5: Something else on my Christmas wish list, James Harden scoring

646
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 5: eighty two points or more.

647
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: I have that written down as well.

648
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 5: That would be awesome. It's been since twenty two thousand

649
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 5: and six since somebody scored eighty obviously Kobe Bryant. Nobody's

650
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 5: ever gotten ninety, so maybe be cool to see him

651
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 5: in the nineties go for one hundred whatever it is.

652
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 5: The guy has done sixty one twice. In twenty nineteen,

653
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 5: Amir Blumenfeld has his player's career high will be double

654
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 5: their highest season average. Harden, is it about forty points per.

655
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: Game right now? You double that you're in the eighties,

656
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 2: So that would be fun to watch.

657
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: That's I have a written down too. I think it's

658
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: in play. I think there is definitely out there, be

659
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: it Harden or another guy. The fourteen fifteen, sixteen threes

660
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: may and then yeah, you add like you know, some

661
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: trips to the free throw line you need a close game.

662
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean some of these where he goes for the

663
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: sixty eighty was potentially in play if it was a

664
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: close game and it goes to the fourth and he's

665
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: got to play heavy minutes and try and get like

666
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: another twenty to twenty five in the quarter, which we

667
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: know we can do, or even an overtime game for

668
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: crying out loud. So yeah, I want to see it too.

669
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 1: Oh on it.

670
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 4: I would love to sell it. I would love to

671
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 4: see it too. Twitter would be going crazy that night,

672
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 4: you know. Oh yeah, as he you know, as he

673
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 4: breaks seventy payple that six minutes to.

674
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 3: Go, emergency pod.

675
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I was.

676
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: Just thinking that, Wow, if he beats Kobe's eighty one, Yeah, the.

677
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: Game, emergency pod.

678
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm in all right, just what are we doing? Just

679
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: driving in here?

680
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lee's got to come back from Peru.

681
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: I also have I guess it's along the same lines

682
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: as your John Wall tasks. All Right, I'd like to

683
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: see Zion Williamson play basketball. Let's go twenty twenty. It's

684
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: down on my Christmas wish list. And I know we've

685
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: talked a lot about it already, whether or not he

686
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: will come back, whether he should come back, whether he'll

687
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: want to sit out for the whole year, help you know,

688
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: give him any chance at Rookie of the Year for

689
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: next year. Blah blah blah blah blah. I just can't

690
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: wait to see him play NBA basketball, and I hope

691
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: it goes you know, Okay, I hope he didn't come

692
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: back and he's out like two games later because of

693
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: whatever knee issue or something like that. But I'm excited

694
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: to see it. I mean, we saw it in preseason

695
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: and it was pretty badass. So if it's even maybe

696
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: half as good to start his NBA career with actual

697
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: NBA games. Then sign me up. Hopefully we get some

698
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: Zion anything else on the wish list, I'll throw one

699
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: more in. I want a healthy Clippers Lakers, you know,

700
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: Western Conference finals or at whatever point they meet in

701
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: the in the playoffs. I want them healthy. Mainly they're

702
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: star guys. I at least want the two on two

703
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: action of PG and Kawhi versus eighty and Lebron, everybody

704
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: in full health. Let's battle it out in the same

705
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: arena for seven games. I hope to God that happens.

706
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: All right, we got lots more to get to here.

707
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: On the Christmas special, we're gonna make some New Year's resolutions.

752
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: Western Conference Finals. We're talking about all the trades that

753
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: hopefully happened before the deadline. We're talking about guys maybe

754
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: coming back from injury. But that's in the future. Let's

755
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: look back for a second. It is near the end

756
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen. We should remember the good times from

757
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: the year. What's your favorite moment NBA moment from the

758
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen.

759
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 4: I will say being in Oakland for Games three and

760
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 4: four of the NBA Finals this year was incredible because

761
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 4: Toronto Raptors and Canadian fans staying in the arena after

762
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,479
Speaker 4: the games, singing We the North, chanting We the North,

763
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 4: and then singing an impromptu version of O Canada for

764
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 4: probably well over an hour in the end, and so

765
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 4: many fans with so much passion. It was incredible to

766
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 4: witness that. And it's funny because you know, I'm Australian born,

767
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 4: but I have spent a significant part of my life

768
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 4: in England, so I'm a little bit English. I've spent

769
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 4: a lot of time in Canada. I'm like married my

770
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 4: wife in Canada, had our first son in Canada, spent

771
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 4: nine years there. It's I'm part Canadian. I've also lived

772
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 4: in America now for like over six years, so I've

773
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 4: got a little and I've had a son here as well,

774
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 4: so I'm part American.

775
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: But I've got all the passports.

776
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. But one thing that's never really changed is the

777
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 4: only national anthem that used to give me spine tingling

778
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 4: moments was Advance Australia Fair Right. When I heard the

779
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 4: fans singing Oh Canada in Oracle, that gave me chills,

780
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,959
Speaker 4: And then even more so back in Toronto for Game

781
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 4: five when the Raptors had a chance to close out

782
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 4: the Championship. Hearing oh Canada there, I actually felt like,

783
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 4: now I'm there's a lot more Canadian in me than

784
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 4: I thought. It was an incredible moment.

785
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 2: So you're getting flustered, Well, it's just it's.

786
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 4: It was a very, a very emotional moment. To feel

787
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 4: that connection to another country. I'm like, oh my god,

788
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 4: this is an awesome anthem I loved. And then being

789
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 4: there with those fans, I was like, oh my god,

790
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 4: I went up there. You know, we recorded it, it

791
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 4: was on NBA TV, and I'm like, I just want

792
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 4: to sing with them, you know. It was a great moment.

793
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 4: Then to see the Raptors going to win the championship,

794
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 4: something I thought, honestly was never realistically gonna happen. I

795
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 4: thought they were more likely to fold completely than win

796
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 4: an NBA championship like ten years ago when things were

797
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 4: going really bad. But instead they turned around and to

798
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 4: be there to experience it and to feel it was

799
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 4: an incredible moment.

800
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, tough not to pick that one. The Raptor is

801
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: winning a title as my favorite moment from twenty nineteen,

802
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: pretty obvious.

803
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 3: I think tight into that is the Warriors getting knocked

804
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 3: off and a new era of basketball being upon us too.

805
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 3: The fact that the Warriors disbanded after that. Would it

806
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 3: have happened if they won? Probably Kevin Durant probably still leaves.

807
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 3: But it's just nice for us, you know, five seasons

808
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: of the same best team in the NBA really running

809
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 3: the show, the Raptors knocking them after. Did they kill

810
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 3: the Warriors, Yes, yeah, but it feels it feels like

811
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 3: it's somewhat and the fact that they won three games

812
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 3: in Golden State that's pretty good. Warriors didn't win at

813
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 3: home in that series, so it was it wasn't like

814
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 3: just hey we won our home games. You know, the

815
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 3: Raptors had home court. They didn't just take care of

816
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: business at home.

817
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 4: And they way one home game too.

818
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they won one of three, but that's okay.

819
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 3: They they stomped out the Warriors. On the other side,

820
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 3: they didn't let the Golden State Warriors win at home,

821
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 3: ending that era. So it's good for us in that

822
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen twenty is a totally different sort of era

823
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 3: basketball as well.

824
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: Sure, it's also just still a massive what if Durant

825
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: you know.

826
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 3: Do they win, Yeah, they win?

827
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they probably Klay Thompson doesn't get hurt. Yeah, yeah,

828
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 5: and he was balling that game. No surprise. Clay always

829
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 5: shows up in the big moments. Another moment tied into

830
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 5: the Raptors' championship that'll stick with me forever. Kawhi Leonard

831
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 5: getting into the car with Sirgebacca.

832
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 4: What do baby?

833
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 5: I can't even type baby on my phone ba B

834
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 5: y anymore. Autocracs to b A y B. That's the

835
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 5: only way people can say baby from now on. The

836
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 5: guy gets quotes off despite saying like six words a season.

837
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 2: They're all funny.

838
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. I have three, you know, specific moments from the

839
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen playoffs. It's Kawhi's Game seven buzzer beater versus

840
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: the Sixers, the squad, the quad bounce, all of that,

841
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: still wild, wild, wild. I'll never forget watching that game

842
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: obviously in what I was doing. Damian Lillard's series clinching

843
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: game winner versus OKC with the wave goodbye. That was

844
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: the thing that happened too, yep, and was so iconic

845
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: and forever will be. And then, you know, a little

846
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: bit more forgotten I think is Steph Curry's Game six

847
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: versus the Rockets when he put up an Opher in

848
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: the first half, and it was looking with no KD,

849
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: it looks like the Rockets are gonna go to the final.

850
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: Rockets are going to the finals. Here, finally they're gonna

851
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: get over the Warriors hump. And instead that was the

852
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: second half where went for thirty plus. Wasn't it like

853
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: it was just it was he just turned into like

854
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: classic Curry where he's like he's unstoppable, and suddenly it

855
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: was like, no, the Rockets are not getting by them.

856
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 1: So those those three specific moments from the playoffs, I mean,

857
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: the playoffs is a is a a long long time,

858
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: especially after you're done doing a daily show about the

859
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: NBA season and it's the second season. It's obviously fun,

860
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: but it's still long. But those those a pop up

861
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: in mind. Being in Toronto though, for Game six when

862
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: they I was in Jurassic Park when they won the title.

863
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: It was surreal. It was surreal. And then the party after,

864
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, the streets of Toronto alive with hundreds of

865
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 1: thousands of Raptors fans. I mean, it's I made the walk.

866
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: I've talked about it before. I made the walk up

867
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: you know, from the arena, like up to Queen Street,

868
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: and then maybe my way across to see friends, and

869
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: it was like, I mean, you weren't going anywhere quick

870
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: because you were high fiving and cheers in and drinking

871
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: with everybody on the way, and people are climbing buildings

872
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: and like everyone was in the greatest mood and it

873
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: was a big like I can't believe this actually happened.

874
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 4: They won the championship, and then the superstar player left

875
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 4: and people like, all right, yeah, it's fine. I mean

876
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 4: we've preferred it if you'd stay, but it's fine.

877
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: You did your part.

878
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you did your I have fun exactly.

879
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 1: What's your New Year's resolution?

880
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 2: Two things I'm focusing on this year.

881
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 5: Number one, eliminate hurry When I wake up, I don't

882
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 5: want to look at my phone right away. I want

883
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 5: to have a half hour of a magic morning where

884
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 5: I'm just you know, thinking and drinking a coffee and

885
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 5: doing some yoga and just getting my mind right for

886
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 5: the day. Second part of it be where your feed are.

887
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 5: I want to focus and be present in the moment

888
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 5: where I'm at, rather than wanting to check my phone

889
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 5: or wondering what I gotta do later, or you know,

890
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 5: going through the mental to do list in your head.

891
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 5: Just try to focus on your life and how you're

892
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,959
Speaker 5: living it rather than how you're going to be living

893
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 5: in more being, less doing. We're human beings, Lee, We're

894
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 5: not human doings.

895
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 4: Is it hotter though with smaller feet to be where

896
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 4: your feed up?

897
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 2: It's simple, man, I don't have to think hardly at all.

898
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 1: We were just wondering if you could stand up half

899
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 1: the time.

900
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 5: That's why I gotta eliminate hurry. If I get going

901
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 5: too fast, you know I'm tipping over.

902
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:11,479
Speaker 4: It's good.

903
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: It's a good resolution, like eliminate hurry. Man. I would,

904
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 1: I would. I should try to adopt that, you know,

905
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: don't grab the phone as soon as I wake up.

906
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 5: God, it is very leave it upstairs. You gotta have

907
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 5: a different place, so you're going to touch it.

908
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 4: I know you're right.

909
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: You can't have it beside you. It's gonna be the

910
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: first thing you grab you. I mean, I'm grabbing it

911
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: to first off, turn off my alarm.

912
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 4: Because it's on my phone.

913
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then well now it's in my hand, so

914
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: now I'm looking at Oh did I win the pick

915
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: them game? Last night? The late game? Oh did the

916
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: Blazers cover? And oh, that's a funny tweet from John Schuman. Oh,

917
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: I'll save that, and you know that's you know, then

918
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: you're off and running.

919
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, everybody wants to eliminate or at least use

920
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 3: their phone less. I've done, you know, my share of

921
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 3: trying to put apps deeper into my phone so I

922
00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 3: don't see them on my home screen. But I'm not

923
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 3: going to pretend that anymore. I'm going to go back

924
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 3: onto page two and three and four and pull those

925
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 3: ones that I wanted to bury and try not to use.

926
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna put them back on page one. Is

927
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 3: actually wasting so much time going to peach? Oh, instead,

928
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 3: just put it front.

929
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: You're still using it?

930
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 3: Yea social media apps. Yeah, I'm not going to waste

931
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 3: time going there anymore. Put them front and b where

932
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 3: you're supposed to be on page one.

933
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: What do you got, Lee, It's a resolution.

934
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, it's a little bit of a serious one here.

935
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 4: But I'm going to try to read and understand the

936
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 4: entire Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, which Greta Thunberg

937
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 4: submitted as her testimony before Congress. Because climate crisis is

938
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 4: real and it's having a devastating effect already on the

939
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 4: entire world. And I think Greta also point out we

940
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 4: can't rely on governments or organizations to do anything. It

941
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 4: has to be the people. So my wife and I

942
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 4: have already tried to make some adjustments in our life.

943
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 4: If we bought an electric car, we try to reduce

944
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,439
Speaker 4: our electricity consumption. We don't try not to take any

945
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 4: plastic bags from from when we go shopping, and things

946
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 4: like always take those.

947
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 2: You want to stop for greenhouse gases.

948
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, and again meat and dairy. We've

949
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 4: tried to, you know, reduce that as much as possible,

950
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 4: because all these little things do have an impact. But

951
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 4: I think most important, it's a huge report. I've I've

952
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 4: already had a look at it, and it's it's long

953
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 4: and it's complicated.

954
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: Too much people, if you ask me, Yeah.

955
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 2: But see I seen you cause many an article about basketball.

956
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, too long, Yeah, I know. If Zach Low writes it,

957
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 4: then maybe we're read it. Ten things I like and

958
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 4: dislike about.

959
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 7: The pc C report, because then you know you're going

960
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 7: to get it all summarized. But honestly, that that so

961
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 7: that is the challenge because it's complicated and it's long,

962
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 7: and there's so many different you know, little titbits in

963
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 7: there that you have to read and then to be

964
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 7: able to understand it and then corporate that into our life,

965
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 7: because you know, I'm a father of like a lot

966
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 7: of us here, and you know, I want our children

967
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 7: to grow up in a healthy environment. And right now

968
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 7: the outlook is rather grim, rather grim.

969
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 4: And we have to start doing things.

970
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: So so you're going to tackle that by reading that

971
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: and then applaying it even more.

972
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 4: If you can, as much as I can, yes, but

973
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 4: but realizing that it's it's going to you know, because

974
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people want to make changes

975
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 4: their life to help the environment, but not ones that

976
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 4: are like, well that's a little too you know, Like

977
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 4: for me, I fly a lot. Flying is terrible, but

978
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 4: I you know, I want to fly. So I don't know.

979
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 4: This is the challenge. What are we going to do?

980
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 4: What are we going to do? I mean, come summer time,

981
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 4: I want to go on a trip and I want

982
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 4: to fly.

983
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 3: That way. You suggested we drive to Chicago for US weekend.

984
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 4: I mean, you know you're part of it. But electric cars, Yeah, yeah,

985
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, So that's the resolution. That's the challenge.

986
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 6: What do you think you're going to get out of reading?

987
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 6: And I mean it sounds like you've got a pretty

988
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 6: good handle on what.

989
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 3: You need to do.

990
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 6: You just want to know why you're doing that.

991
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 4: No, I mean I understand why as well as just

992
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 4: learning more and more about it. And I'm sure there's

993
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 4: things that you don't realize are you know, negatively impacting

994
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 4: the planet and you know, maybe you can reduce that

995
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 4: and also educate our kids about it. That's the thing, hopefully,

996
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 4: because yeah, so they they understand. And as I say,

997
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 4: I mean, it's our future right now is is not

998
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 4: looking great for the next ten to fifteen years. We're

999
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 4: already far beyond where experts thought we were going to be,

1000
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 4: like even five years ago. So we have to make changes.

1001
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 4: G D.

1002
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, we got to go to video, guys. That's my resolution.

1003
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 6: Let's get this show on video. I want the people

1004
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 6: to see our faces again. That's that's the resolution.

1005
00:45:58,520 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: I look completely Dio.

1006
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:00,959
Speaker 4: You do, and.

1007
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 6: People need to see your your status, the status of

1008
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 6: your facial hairs.

1009
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:05,720
Speaker 4: It's amazing.

1010
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 5: This is the biggest physical change you've had at least

1011
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 5: since I've been working with you.

1012
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 2: Guys.

1013
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, Beard, life rugged skeets. Right, that's right. I love

1014
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: it so making a move along with the podcast to videos,

1015
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: that's right.

1016
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 4: That's right.

1017
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 6: Sometimes sometime this year it's gonna happen.

1018
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 3: Just had a flashback to two thousand and eight when

1019
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 3: we essentially did the same for our from our first

1020
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 3: two years of podcasting to video.

1021
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 2: Wow, you're not wrong.

1022
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 6: It's full circle. We started all over again. It's great.

1023
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 4: It's gonna be faster though.

1024
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: Way faster, just because technology, technology, and experience, experience, life skills.

1025
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yea, yeah, it's gonna be great.

1026
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 3: Well, then we're recycling and we're using already. Isn't that great?

1027
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: Well, then, to go along with that, my resolution is

1028
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: to as much as possible keep things light and fun.

1029
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 1: This is a damn NBA podcast. It should be fun.

1030
00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 2: Stop talking so.

1031
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: And I love getting into it. I mean no, but

1032
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. I love getting into it about

1033
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: Wow that trade package? No? What that was a good game?

1034
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 4: You thought?

1035
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 2: No?

1036
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: I love that, of course, but at its core it's

1037
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: still a stupid basketball game.

1038
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 2: That's right.

1039
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: It should be fun, which I like. I like to

1040
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: think we do on most parts. But you know, if

1041
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 1: there are days where it is, uh, you know, third

1042
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: week of February or whatever, third week of March, and

1043
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm a little tired, and it can become

1044
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 1: a bit of a chore, but it doesn't need to

1045
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:26,959
Speaker 1: be still. We can come at it from different ways.

1046
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: Have that energy, and I think it comes across on

1047
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: the podcast when we do that. I'm speaking for mysell

1048
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: and obviously speaking for everybody, so to really really keep

1049
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: things light and fun, especially if we start getting into

1050
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: video too, for sure. Right, let's uh, you guys want

1051
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: to give some gifts to do? We got, we got

00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: I believe in you.

1069
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: it's not really the secret part of Secret Santa, but

Speaker 1: Wow, the gift we put a limit on this. It's incredible.

1082
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 4: We're going for a full day massage and cleanse at

1085
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 2: It's gonna be.

1086
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 4: It's gonna be so beautiful. They're just gonna pamper us

1087
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 4: both all day. Like you know that scene in the

1088
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 4: Simpsons where Bart's getting your message and Homer walks in

1089
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,439
Speaker 4: and says, uh, hey, what are you doing in here?

1090
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 4: And Bart's like, Hey, it's all inclusive. Then The next

1091
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 4: scene is Bart at Homer getting a message that's gonna

1092
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,439
Speaker 4: be yeah, Yeah, You're gonna come out with that big,

1093

Speaker 4: beautiful robe. Your beard's gonna be glistening, your hair's gonna

1094
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 4: be shiny and clean, and you smelling great.

1095
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: Does trigger a discount on his pedicure, because.

1096
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 5: That's another New Year's resolution for me is somehow get

1097
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 5: bigger feet.

1098
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 2: Give me another good gift. What am I stocking?

1099
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 1: Something would be into one hundred percent?

1100
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 5: U Laura got me a spa day for Father's Day

1101
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 5: not too long ago, and know it's awesome, but this

1102
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,720
Speaker 5: one sounds honestly even better.

1103
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be.

1104
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 5: Coming out glistening, smooth. I'm going swimming right away. I

1105
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 5: know that I'll completely ruin everything. I'll get my body

1106
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 5: covered in chlorine. But this is my one bath for there,

1107
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 5: so that'll make it good.

1108
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:08,839
Speaker 3: All right.

1109
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: He likes the gift. Who do you have?

1110
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:15,919
Speaker 3: I pulled juice skeets. I know you like your spike ball?

1111
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 3: I do which is which if you don't know, it's

1112
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 3: it's played on sort of like a what it looks

1113
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 3: like a small kid's trampoline, you know about that size,

1114
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 3: but it's two on two, and you basically kind of

1115
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 3: like volleyball, pass it back and forth and then you

1116
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 3: hit it on the net to the other team. It's

1117
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 3: a three hundred and sixty degree game. Great game. But

1118
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 3: there's a new level to this game, and it's more

1119
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 3: of a it's a stand up game. It looks more

1120
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:43,560
Speaker 3: like volleyball. It's called crossnet, so I'm getting you cross net.

1121
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 3: It's it's a four way net, so you have like quadrants,

1122
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 3: but the net is up, you know, sort of like

1123
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 3: at volleyball net level. There's three heights, men's, women's, and

1124
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 3: children's regulation heights, so you can lower it a little

1125
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 3: bit if but your base playing for yourself. It's it's

1126
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 3: every every person for himself.

1127
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 1: So but with a with a volleyball.

1128
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 3: With a volleyball, yeah yeah, yeah. Spike ball is a

1129
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 3: tiny little ball, more like a baseball size, and this

1130
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 3: one is yeah, you're just there's there's.

1131
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 1: Four of us were playing. If you hit it at

1132
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: me into my quadrant, can I like set myself or

1133
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: is it like I have to hit it over on

1134
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: one go?

1135
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 3: You just one go?

1136
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 7: Oh.

1137
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: So it's this little, quick, little pepper game of.

1138
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah that's fine, and you can go to

1139
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 3: either side. So let's say Lee losts it to you.

1140
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 3: You pop up, you fake like you're gonna hammer it

1141
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 3: down on Trey's beard, but then you pull out your

1142
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 3: your other hand and you just just tip it over

1143
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 3: to me. I might not be ready, might drop in

1144
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 3: my quadrant. I lose a point. Now there's the there's

1145
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 3: actual gameplay is whoever you actually rotate to a spot

1146
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 3: if you get scored on. But I don't think people

1147
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 3: will play like that. You're supposed to serve it in

1148
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 3: off the quote unquote court. Wow. But I don't think

1149
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 3: people will play like that either. It'll just be like

1150
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 3: it's pepper. Yeah, exactly right. It's a great game.

1151
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does sound you're right, like spike ball, like,

1152
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 1: but I love that it's with the volleyball.

1153
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 3: A little more athletics.

1154
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that's exactly right. Oh, thank you, you're welcome.

1155
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,799
Speaker 1: I'm excited to play that. We're all playing for sure.

1156
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: We might have to start a podcast about it.

1157
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,359
Speaker 3: We might have to start a chat that we never use,

1158
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 3: like we have a spike ball chat. I mean it's used, yeah,

1159
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 3: but it never turns into spike ball.

1160
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 5: Once a month you'll see a spike ball highlight in

1161
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 5: there in that chat.

1162
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 2: Not a game, but you'll see a great spike ball highlight.

1163
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 3: Okay, I think that's where I learned about crossing it.

1164
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: At our age, it's you know, with you guys with

1165
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: kids and everybody doing things all the time. It's tough

1166
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,720
Speaker 1: to get four people on the same page to say

1167
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: or more. Obviously you can rotate it out, but like, hey,

1168
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,800
Speaker 1: we're playing spike ball today, Man, I want to. I

1169
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: feel like everybody always wants to. Everybody wants to, but

1170
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: it's like.

1171
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, well the athletics should just get us another

1172
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 3: studio space here where we could play spike ball and

1173
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:07,919
Speaker 3: then in this building another another ball. Yeah for sure.

1174
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 2: Silence spike ball, no talking, right, I love it.

1175
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 3: Jad.

1176
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: Who do you have?

1177
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 6: I Drew Tass. I think most of our audience knows

1178
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:19,439
Speaker 6: that Tass is working three jobs right now. It's doing

1179
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 6: this obviously. Uh, he's also doing the Bounce on Yahoo

1180
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 6: dot com, and he hosts handles on NBA TV with

1181
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 6: Channing Fry. And on top of that, his wife is

1182
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 6: expecting their second child next month. Not to mention, they

1183
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 6: have Wee Zoe, a toddler running around tass. I'm very

1184
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 6: worried about your health and wellness, and in short, I

1185
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:44,120
Speaker 6: don't think you'll be getting enough sleep in the coming months.

1186
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 6: So I'm getting you a SNAP, which stands for nap.

1187
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 6: In a snap, it's a hammock that you hang under

1188
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 6: your desk so you can grab some z's whenever you like.

1189
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 3: Oh, now I'm seeing a victorial and.

1190
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 6: It's got My favorite part are the stirrups that you

1191
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 6: can put your feet into.

1192
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, we're seeing a photo now that JD

1193
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: passed around the task. It's yeah, it's a hammock that

1194
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 1: hangs under I guess what appears to be a desk

1195
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:15,399
Speaker 1: you can raise.

1196
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, it has to be a standing desk.

1197
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 2: But that's amazing.

1198
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 1: Actually looks pretty comfortab.

1199
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 2: That would be very funny to walk in.

1200
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 5: Just see somebody dangling under the desk test sleeping feet

1201
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 5: up in the stirrups like spread.

1202
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 3: I'm definitely convinced people would use this if it was

1203
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 3: that's like.

1204
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: Next level of costanzo there. Yeah, he was sleeping under

1205
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: the desk.

1206
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:35,919
Speaker 4: That's right.

1207
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 2: That is a little drink holder there too.

1208
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's ridiculous. Everything has to have a drink hold

1209
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 3: our cars. Don't need him.

1210
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 6: You can put your phone in it.

1211
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 3: I guess that's true.

1212
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 2: You're to have a great nap.

1213
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do need to fall asleep with a phone,

1214
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 3: so I have I use a com app for three.

1215
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: By the sounds of it here, everybody's very thoughtful this season. Trey,

1216
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: who do you have?

1217
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 2: I have JD.

1218
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 5: And I was excited because I knew exactly what to

1219
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 5: get him. I got you a green card.

1220
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 2: Oh awesome. Yeah, I know you've been wanting one for

1221
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 2: a long time.

1222
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 5: I have been a long process, but unfortunately, as an

1223
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 5: American citizen, I can't actually apply for a green card,

1224
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 5: so I had to get you Green cards. Starring Gerard

1225
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 5: Depardue and Andy McDowell and VHS Classic Yeah, nineteen ninety

1226
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 5: rom com. It's got a sixty percent on Rotten Tomatoes,

1227
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 5: and it's kind of the story of you know, Gerard

1228
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 5: and Andy. Gerard wants a green card, so we fake

1229
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 5: Mary's Andy. But he's such a silly fool and she's

1230
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 5: so uptight. They teach each other a little or something,

1231
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 5: and then a happy ending.

1232
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 2: At the end.

1233
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 5: Gerard gets deported, never gets his green card, and Andy

1234
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:46,040
