Speaker 2: Welcome in episode seventy five of What's Right with Nick
Speaker 2: Wright in the podcast and YouTube show. And it's very
Speaker 2: apropos that it is episode seventy five because we are
Speaker 2: a few hundred people away from hitting seventy five thousand
Speaker 2: subscribers on YouTube. And while Demanse maybe knows this, maybe
Speaker 2: doesn't know this. If we get to one hundred thousand
Speaker 2: YouTube subscribers before the end of football season, not only
Speaker 2: will Demanse get I've decided the plaque at YouTube since
Speaker 2: when you get there, he will also get a one
Speaker 2: thousand dollars cash bonus. Oh, if we get there, so
Speaker 2: he listen. I've given up all hope of people following
Speaker 2: me or doing anything to make me feel better. But
Speaker 2: the audience, for some reason or another, likes you a lot,
Speaker 2: so we're just shy. Of seventy five thousand subscribers on YouTube.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of work that goes into the YouTube show.
Speaker 2: I'd love you to check it out. And if you're
Speaker 2: someone that subscribes things on YouTube, today is a great day.
Speaker 2: If we get to one hundred thousand before the super Bowl,
Speaker 2: I'd love to get there before the end of the
Speaker 2: regular season, we get a plaque and Demanse gets a
Speaker 2: cash bonus. We have a massive show for you today,
Speaker 2: as you will see this right before Thursday night Football,
Speaker 2: hopefully a few hours for Thursday Night Football. But as
Speaker 2: we always, let's first discuss what we're not discussing. Here's
Speaker 2: what did not make the cut for today's show. Not well,
Speaker 2: you know what. That's a lie because Aaron Judge will
Speaker 2: make the cut.
Speaker 3: More on that.
Speaker 2: In a moment, Lebron invests in pro pickleball. This led
Speaker 2: to a very interesting text exchange between me and Maverick,
Speaker 2: where I asked, I told you the last the last
Speaker 2: time you guys invested in something Lobos Tequila that the
Speaker 2: next time you invest in something, hit your guy Nick
Speaker 2: right up. See if I can, well, just let me
Speaker 2: throw in a few shekels and once again unintentionally my
Speaker 2: guy Mav a little pocket shaming there, like I don't
Speaker 2: have that the capital to be a significant investor. Lebron
Speaker 2: Draymond Mav and Kevin Love can do it, but your
Speaker 2: all buddy Nick Wright can't. Rus Russell Wilson's ridiculous dangerous commercial,
Speaker 2: I'm even though I think Russ is the corniest man alive,
Speaker 2: I think it might be a deep fake.
Speaker 3: Not discussing it now though.
Speaker 2: On Aaron Judge, so Roger Merris Junior came out and said,
Speaker 2: if he at sixty two, he's the real home run King.
Speaker 2: Everyone's going to be debating that on television today. I
Speaker 2: bet I'll be debating that on television today. That's not
Speaker 2: what I want to discuss. What I want to discuss
Speaker 2: is the fella Frankie Lasagna. So that's the man's real
Speaker 2: name and demons. I'll show you the clip later if
Speaker 2: you haven't seen it. He's at the Blue Jays Yankees game.
Speaker 2: He's in the perfect seat, he has his glove. This
Speaker 2: is gonna be at least a half a million dollar ball,
Speaker 2: probably more. Didn't not as bad as dropping it.
Speaker 3: It came.
Speaker 2: He was front row, and it went two inches beneath
Speaker 2: his glove, and he's beside himself. So here is my
Speaker 2: call to action for America. Can we please start a
Speaker 2: GoFundMe for Frankie Lasagna. First of all, it is an
Speaker 2: all time name. I know everyone's going to be making
Speaker 2: that point today. It is simply an all time name.
Speaker 2: Second of all, he'll never get over demanse. It is
Speaker 2: been five days since you lost a few hundred dollars gambling.
Speaker 2: Have you yet had a day where it didn't cross
Speaker 2: your mind?
Speaker 4: I mean, I was just about to say, this makes
Speaker 4: me feel a lot better about it, but no, not, no.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if, for the rest of your life,
Speaker 2: every time you got a letter in the mail, you
Speaker 2: have an overdue credit card payment, or the car payments due,
Speaker 2: or you get declined on a mortgage for a house.
Speaker 2: You're thinking, if I, if I had just been a
Speaker 2: quarter inch taller, I jumping for that? Well no, no, no,
Speaker 2: there was no land in the bullpen. Then they don't
Speaker 2: let you keep the ball anyway, But can we just
Speaker 2: make this right, judgment, make it right. I have seen
Speaker 2: gofundmes for the stupidest things in the world. I've also
Speaker 2: seen things that go viral that are clearly a pre
Speaker 2: premeditated attempt to get people to do a GoFundMe.
Speaker 3: So let's just do one. You know what. I'm in
Speaker 3: a good mood.
Speaker 2: If someone reputable makes a gofund me for this fella,
Speaker 2: I'm in for five hundred bucks. Wow, Someone make Frank
Speaker 2: Elazagna a go fundme. We can easily get it to
Speaker 2: one hundred k. Frank, It's just a dude, It's just
Speaker 2: a It's just a Blue Jays fan. Wow, just a
Speaker 2: fellow Paison Italian living in Toronto enjoying some baseball.
Speaker 4: So, I mean his I know it was the record
Speaker 4: home run that he would have hit, but like, is
Speaker 4: his next one they get? The next one will be
Speaker 4: worth it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't think Frank Alazanna is gonna be
Speaker 2: there for it. Just I think the odds of that
Speaker 2: are pretty slim, true, And so I was getting nervous.
Speaker 2: Judge wasn't gonna hit it. He's been sitting on sixty
Speaker 2: for a while he's been getting walked. He got sixty one.
Speaker 2: It's a great story. Let's make sure it's all winners.
Speaker 2: The Mary's family's happy, Judge is happy. There's one sad
Speaker 2: person and he's Frank Elazagna. Let's get a go fund me.
Speaker 2: I'm in for five hundred bucks and let's let's get
Speaker 2: him a nice little six figure payday.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, we're all right.
Speaker 3: Are we ready for the show?
Speaker 4: Let's do it?
Speaker 3: All right, let's do it. What are we starting with?
Speaker 4: Today? Tonight on Thursday Night Football, and the undefeated Dolphins
Speaker 4: take on Burrow and the one and two Bengals two
Speaker 4: is questionable with his injuries. Yeah, but I like the
Speaker 4: Dolphins a lot of this game. Still.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were shocked back before you retired from gambling. Yeah,
Speaker 2: when it was you know, mid day Sunday instead of
Speaker 2: end of the day Sunday, and you were on fire.
Speaker 2: You were looking at this week's lines and you're like,
Speaker 2: oh my god. Yeah, the Dolphins are underdogs, and at
Speaker 2: that point they were two and a half point underdogs.
Speaker 2: They are now three and a half or four point underdogs.
Speaker 2: The line shifted even more towards Cincinnati, depending on where
Speaker 2: you get it.
Speaker 4: Go ahead. Yeah, you lost fifty to me last night
Speaker 4: last week on the gambling show.
Speaker 3: You know what You're right about that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Pay that debt right now?
Speaker 4: Hold on, no, wait, hold on. I was just do
Speaker 4: you want to do double or nothing?
Speaker 3: I thought you quit gambling.
Speaker 4: I mean, this isn't on the app.
Speaker 3: So okay, so gambling with me? So loud?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So you want do you you want the
Speaker 2: dolphins straight up?
Speaker 3: Or you want it? You want me to give you
Speaker 3: the points? You want me to give you the points?
Speaker 3: Say you want me to give you the points.
Speaker 4: I want you to give me the pot? Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3: It wouldn't be fair for you otherwise. Uh yeah, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So all, So here's the thing.
Speaker 4: One thing Two. I think there's gotta be some some
Speaker 4: set rules here. If twas not playing.
Speaker 2: No, we can call the bet all but is gonna play.
Speaker 2: But if he plays and he's ineffective, it's not like,
Speaker 2: oh it's unfair.
Speaker 4: Yeah of course.
Speaker 2: Listen, here's the deal and this is so yes, listen,
Speaker 2: I'll lay. I'll give you the full four points. Even
Speaker 2: though I think it's gonna go off at three and
Speaker 2: a half, I don't think that's actually a great bet
Speaker 2: by me. I think this line is just about right.
Speaker 2: I do expect Cincinnati to win, but sure, double or nothing.
Speaker 2: I've got Cincinnati minus four, You've got Miami plus four.
Speaker 2: If Cincinnati covers you were even.
Speaker 3: If not, then iowe you one hundred bucks, no problem.
Speaker 2: So here's the deal, and this is where we have
Speaker 2: to be very careful about what we're seeing and what
Speaker 2: we know and don't know about the NFL. Miami's been
Speaker 2: an unbelievable story. And Miami, to their credit, is not
Speaker 2: only one of two undefeateds, but they have beaten, in
Speaker 2: my opinion, two of the best teams in football. I
Speaker 2: think Baltimore's excellent. That's their only loss. I think the
Speaker 2: Bills are excellent. That's their only loss. Miami beat them both.
Speaker 2: We also, though, cannot overreact to records this early in
Speaker 2: the season when judging the strength of teams. So here's
Speaker 2: what I mean. Cincinnati in Week one. Yes, it's a
Speaker 2: bad loss because Pittsburgh's not good, But how many things
Speaker 2: had to happen for them to lose that game. They
Speaker 2: had to miss a chip shot field goal, they'd have
Speaker 2: an extra point blocked. Boswell had to hit a bus
Speaker 2: at the end of overtime. The Dallas game, they played
Speaker 2: terribly despite all that they had the ball with late
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter with the game tied, couldn't get
Speaker 2: it done.
Speaker 3: Cooper Rush beats them.
Speaker 2: Either of those games easily could have been a Bengals win,
Speaker 2: and they're two to one. Don't even say both of them,
Speaker 2: just say one of them, one of them. Okay, Now
Speaker 2: to Miami. It took a historic fourth quarter comeback and
Speaker 2: a dropped interception by Baltimore and multiple secondary injuries for
Speaker 2: Miami to beat Baltimore. And then it took a truly
Speaker 2: unprecedented confluence of events of Buffalo having the ball for
Speaker 2: forty minutes to Miami having it for twenty, Buffalo gaining
Speaker 2: nearly five hundred yards, Miami not gaining two hundred fifty yards,
Speaker 2: for Miami to.
Speaker 3: Still be hanging on in the final moment.
Speaker 2: Of the game where Buffalo ran out of time by
Speaker 2: three seconds because they couldn't handle the situation they I
Speaker 2: think it's fair to say Miami easily could be two
Speaker 2: to one, and if both of these teams were two
Speaker 2: and one, no one would bat an eye at Cincinnati
Speaker 2: at home being three to four point favorites.
Speaker 3: So it's a little misleading. Misleading's wrong word. It can
Speaker 3: be go ahead.
Speaker 4: I'm just not I'm not in on Cincinnati. I just
Speaker 4: don't think.
Speaker 3: I think that's totally fair.
Speaker 2: And I, by the way, I said going into the year,
Speaker 2: Cincinnati was not as good as a Super Bowl appearance suggests.
Speaker 3: They were a ten win team last year.
Speaker 2: They could have lost the first playoff game to the Raiders,
Speaker 2: they should have lost the second playoff game to the Titans.
Speaker 2: They definitely should have lost their third playoff game to
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, and they did lose their fourth playoff game
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. However, I believe that Cincinnati and Miami
Speaker 2: are about equivalent teams, okay, and so I think right
Speaker 2: now in the AFC, you have the Chiefs, the Bills,
Speaker 2: and the Ravens, and I know Miami beat Baltimore, so
Speaker 2: it seems like unfair. But you have the Chiefs, the Bills,
Speaker 2: and the Ravens as the only three teams in the
Speaker 2: conference that I would be shocked if they missed the playoffs.
Speaker 2: There's those three, then you have a group of Miami.
Speaker 2: I want to go division by division, Miami, Cincinnati, Cleveland.
Speaker 2: I've got to include in it because Cleveland is a
Speaker 2: team that should be three and zero if they don't
Speaker 2: gag that Jets game away. Uh So Miami, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Jacksonville,
Speaker 2: and the Chargers, even though the Chargers are so banged up,
Speaker 2: we'll talk about them in a minute. In that next
Speaker 2: group of teams, and then in the group right beneath
Speaker 2: that is where you have Denver, Indie. I would include
Speaker 2: the Raiders even though they're zero and three. I think
Speaker 2: the Raiders are going to be viable. And if you
Speaker 2: want to include Tennessee or Pittsburgh you can't. I don't
Speaker 2: think Miami is drastically better than Cincinnati. The one way
Speaker 2: to make Cincinnati look really bad is to have a
Speaker 2: ferocious pass rush.
Speaker 3: Miami does not have that.
Speaker 2: That Melvin Ingram's the only person on their team that's
Speaker 2: got any pressure on quarterbacks all year, and it's gonna
Speaker 2: be from a pass rush perspective. Far more similar for
Speaker 2: Cincinnati to the Jets game they just played than to
Speaker 2: their first two games against Dallas and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3: I do like.
Speaker 2: Cincinnati tonight, and I think America is going to in
Speaker 2: three weeks look back and say, remember when people were
Speaker 2: pretending they thought Miami was the best team in football,
Speaker 2: and I think everyone's gonna listen they are. Going into
Speaker 2: the year, I thought they were a nine to eight
Speaker 2: team and gonna be the last team out of.
Speaker 3: The playoffs, the best team that doesn't make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Going into the year, I thought the Bengals were going
Speaker 2: to be a ten to eleven win team, wild card
Speaker 2: and one of the last teams in the playoffs. If
Speaker 2: Miami wins this game, that flips it, because now it's
Speaker 2: four and zero, Cincinnati's one to three, and Miami would
Speaker 2: have the tiebreaker. I like cincinnat tonight. We'll see what
Speaker 2: happens all right next.
Speaker 4: Okay, as a Chiefs fan, you've got to be thrilled
Speaker 4: with how the AFC West is turning out. The Broncos
Speaker 4: and Russell Wilson have looked like a total master every weeks.
Speaker 3: And it's bulls. They have two wins.
Speaker 2: They should be all and three and dead because they
Speaker 2: won't be as bad. I'm sorry to interrupt, we they
Speaker 2: Russell has been so bad that you've got to anticipate
Speaker 2: he's gonna get a little better. I mean, they haven't
Speaker 2: cracked seventeen points this year. You know what, I mean
Speaker 2: the fact that they have been this bad and they're
Speaker 2: somehow two and one actually bodes well for them in
Speaker 2: that Russell has played the worst football of his life.
Speaker 2: Their coach has been so bad he's one more coaching
Speaker 2: bad coaching decision away from making an SNL skit and
Speaker 2: so and they're two and one, But yes they are not.
Speaker 2: Some people tried to convince me that they were going
Speaker 2: to be this twelve thirteen win. They were a quarterback
Speaker 2: away team. They're clearly not that. Go ahead next yea.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And the Raiders are zero and three and the
Speaker 4: Chargers are so banged up in key spots. But which
Speaker 4: one of these teams could you see turning around and
Speaker 4: actually coming for case getting to a run for their money?
Speaker 2: The Raiders are better than oh and three? Okay, And
Speaker 2: I think the Raiders in two months?
Speaker 4: What did the Raiders play last week?
Speaker 3: The Raiders keep giving over. Can I tell you how
Speaker 3: they've lost all their games?
Speaker 2: Because it's so everyone remembers the way they lost the
Speaker 2: Cardinals game because they had that game in hand and
Speaker 2: they just.
Speaker 4: Gave it away.
Speaker 2: This past week was worse because they tried to do
Speaker 2: to Tennessee what Kyler did to them. Tennessee was beating
Speaker 2: them the entire game. The Raiders were down two scores
Speaker 2: late in the fourth quarter, throw a red zone, have
Speaker 2: a red zone turnover, looks like it's over, but then
Speaker 2: they get a field goal.
Speaker 3: Now they're down eight.
Speaker 2: Then they get a touchdown, essentially as times expiring, but
Speaker 2: they don't get the two point conversion that Kyler did
Speaker 2: get on them. So Week one they played the Chargers.
Speaker 2: Chargers were healthier than at that point a really good team.
Speaker 2: Derek Cart turns ball over four times. They lose by five.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Week two the blow up against Arizona, losing overtime. Week
Speaker 2: three they don't show up against Tennessee. I don't think
Speaker 2: they're a good team, but I don't think they're abysmal
Speaker 2: team as their record suggests. We talked about Denver I
Speaker 2: had the Chargers in the AFC Championship game. The best
Speaker 2: players on the Chargers are the following. Justin Herbert, their quarterback,
Speaker 2: Rashaun Slater, their left tackle Joey Bosa, their pass rusher
Speaker 2: Derwin James, their do it all safety Keenan Allen, their
Speaker 2: wide receiver j C. Jackson, their big free agent pickup corner.
Speaker 2: Those are the six best players. Justin Herbert has a
Speaker 2: rib injury that he's going to be dealing with four weeks,
Speaker 2: if not longer. The coach who I used to defend
Speaker 2: left him in the game down twenty eight, throwing passes
Speaker 2: and taking hits. Their next best player, Rashaun Slater, their
Speaker 2: left tackle, is done for the year. Their next best player,
Speaker 2: Joey Bosa, their pass rusher is on ir just had
Speaker 2: core muscle surgery, so that's like a stomach surgery. He's
Speaker 2: done out indefinitely. The next best player, Derwin James, is healthy,
Speaker 2: but he has missed two full seasons in his crew
Speaker 2: with injury. Their next best guy, Keenan Allen, has already
Speaker 2: missed time with injury. Their next best guy, JC Jackson
Speaker 2: at offseason knee surgery, missed Week one. They rush. They
Speaker 2: rushed him back for the Chiefs game. In Week two,
Speaker 2: they played him the entire game and he's been out
Speaker 2: since then. The Chargers, who historically are the most snake
Speaker 2: bitten team in the league, with injuries already or dealing
Speaker 2: with significant injuries to the four of their six best players. Okay, wait,
Speaker 2: five of their six everyone but Derwin James. So the
Speaker 2: AFC West, which people were predicting will would have three
Speaker 2: playoff teams. Some people thought, could this be the first
Speaker 2: time in NFL history all four playoff teams from a division,
Speaker 2: making that all the wild cards now yet last year
Speaker 2: would be in the first year that ever.
Speaker 4: Could have happen.
Speaker 2: As they expanded the playoffs, you would need seven teams.
Speaker 2: It might be a one playoff team division. So the
Speaker 2: short version answer your question is yes. For the Chiefs purposes,
Speaker 2: if this division was what it was supposed to be,
Speaker 2: gagging away that Colts game is a far bigger deal.
Speaker 2: But now they're one to zero in the division. No
Speaker 2: one else in the division looks good. The Broncos don't
Speaker 2: scare me at all. The Raiders haven't been able to
Speaker 2: beat the Chiefs in a decade. So yeah, I feel good.
Speaker 4: All right? Next, Lamar Lamar Jackson bound on himself in
Speaker 4: the offseason and it is paying off very nicely. Yeah.
Speaker 4: He leads the league with in passing touchdowns and passer
Speaker 4: rating fifth and rushing yards.
Speaker 3: Think about that for a second.
Speaker 2: Leads the league in passer rating yep, leads the league
Speaker 2: in passing touchdowns and fifth, not amongst quarterbacks, fifth in
Speaker 2: rushing yards amongst players. Yep, it's unbelievable, all right, next, yeah,
Speaker 2: or keep going truck.
Speaker 4: With twelve combined passing and rushing touchdowns, he has more
Speaker 4: touchdowns than thirty teams in the.
Speaker 2: Nf No one of the And that's even not as
Speaker 2: impressive as sounds because you're like, there's thirty two teams,
Speaker 2: so there's only two teams that have as many touchdowns,
Speaker 2: one of the teams with the Ravens. So it's the
Speaker 2: the and the other teams the Lions, who have twelve.
Speaker 3: There has no team in the league that has more
Speaker 3: touchdowns than Lamar.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, right, and if the Ravens be Buffalo this Sunday,
Speaker 4: this story will be that much bigger. Did the Ravens
Speaker 4: officially make a terrible mistake with not signing Lamar in
Speaker 4: the offseason?
Speaker 2: Listen, it's it's looking like it and the Ravens. Here's
Speaker 2: the thing. As great as Lamar has played, he's not
Speaker 2: a perfect player. I understand there are some There are
Speaker 2: some on the more call it mature passing routes and progressions.
Speaker 2: He's not Mahomes right, He's not Josh Allen on that,
Speaker 2: But You do not need to be a perfect player
Speaker 2: to get a contract extension. Kyler is a far inferior
Speaker 2: player with no playoff success.
Speaker 3: He got a contract extension. Deshaun Watson, set aside.
Speaker 2: All the off field stuff is at best an equivalent
Speaker 2: player has less postseason success than Lamar. He got a
Speaker 2: contract extension. When Josh Allen got his contract extension, he
Speaker 2: hadn't yet turned into this fully formed version of himself.
Speaker 2: He had two playoffs whens Lamar has won. They are
Speaker 2: they have Really He's played so well that now, even
Speaker 2: if he were to suffer an injury, he'd be a
Speaker 2: guy that a team would be ecstatic to throw a
Speaker 2: quarter of a billion dollars in. And the way it's
Speaker 2: gonna work is the exclusive. So there's two franchise tags.
Speaker 2: One is more expensive than the other. Let me just
Speaker 2: explain this very quickly. Franchise tag in the NFL is this.
Speaker 2: If a player's contract has expired, you can only do
Speaker 2: this one player per team. You can just place the
Speaker 2: franchise tag on them. There's no negotiation. The non exclusive
Speaker 2: franchise tag, it's the average salary of the five highest
Speaker 2: paid guys at his position, but it's non exclusive, meaning
Speaker 2: another team can then try to sign him. If he
Speaker 2: signs that contract and you choose not to match, that
Speaker 2: team gives you their next two first round picks. So
Speaker 2: think about a team like the Patriots, right that are
Speaker 2: not well. The Patriots might actually have a great pick
Speaker 2: this year, but let's pretend they didn't. A team that
Speaker 2: the Titans last year. Okay, the Titans, who had the
Speaker 2: number one record in the AFC. They're picking in the
Speaker 2: late twenties. Know the quarterback's a problem, right. They could
Speaker 2: try to sign them away and all you're getting is
Speaker 2: like the twenty seventh pick of that year's draft and
Speaker 2: whatever first round pick they have next year if you
Speaker 2: don't match.
Speaker 3: The Ravens would never.
Speaker 2: Risk that, so they have to put the exclusive franchise
Speaker 2: tag on it. That is more expensive than the average
Speaker 2: of the top five guys at the position. The exclusive
Speaker 2: franchise tag for next year for a quarterback is going
Speaker 2: to be forty five million dollars fully guaranteed for one season.
Speaker 2: You can place a franchise tag on a guy technically
Speaker 2: three times, really only twice. The second year of a
Speaker 2: franchise tag is a twenty percent raise from the previous year.
Speaker 3: Salary.
Speaker 2: So by not signing Lamar, if he chooses to go
Speaker 2: the franchise tag round, it's forty five million next year,
Speaker 2: fifty five million the following year, and then you have
Speaker 2: no rights to him at all. Then he is a
Speaker 2: true free agent, allowed to negotiate and sign with anyone,
Speaker 2: and you will have paid one hundred million guaranteed for
Speaker 2: two years of Lamar, and then he can lead. Right now,
Speaker 2: he looks like the league MVP. So that is the yes.
Speaker 2: That's the too long, didn't read version of what I
Speaker 2: just said is they screwed this up. And I think
Speaker 2: it's because they don't believe in it. They treat I
Speaker 2: said this on TV. I want to reiterate it here.
Speaker 4: They don't believe it.
Speaker 2: They treat Lamar in all their decisions.
Speaker 3: And there's the clock. I'm so bad at this.
Speaker 2: Uh like a really fun rental car that they enjoy driving,
Speaker 2: that they like, hey, you know, taken out and they
Speaker 2: don't mind if they hop a few curbs, if they
Speaker 2: put the cheap gas in it, because they know long term,
Speaker 2: this isn't gonna be my problem. They run quarterback power
Speaker 2: runs with him. They don't spend money on wide receivers.
Speaker 2: He's doing his passing wise. His top two wide receivers
Speaker 2: in their career prior to this year had less than
Speaker 2: one thousand yards combined between them and three total touchdowns.
Speaker 3: So while Josh.
Speaker 2: Allen gets Stefon Diggs and Kyler gets DeAndre Hopkins and
Speaker 2: AJ b I'm sorry Hollywood Brown who they traded for
Speaker 2: from Baltimore, they traded him away, and Jalen Hurts gets
Speaker 2: AJ Brown and Devontae.
Speaker 3: Smith who they drafted, and Tua gets.
Speaker 2: Jalen Waddle and Tyreek Kill and Mahomes prior to this
Speaker 2: year had Tyreek and Kelsey. He has Rashad Bateman and
Speaker 2: guys Rashad Bateman who's having.
Speaker 3: A nice year.
Speaker 2: But I don't think he's a superstar. They don't sign him,
Speaker 2: they don't give him weapons. They call an offense that
Speaker 2: puts him in constant jeopardy. It's like it's like they
Speaker 2: think they're having a fling with Lamar Jackson, not that
Speaker 2: they're married to him long term, and he's gonna make
Speaker 2: them pay through the nose on it.
Speaker 3: All Right, what's last We're.
Speaker 4: Talking a little basketball with Kyrie Irving. He said he
Speaker 4: lost out one hundred million dollar extension after he chose
Speaker 4: to not get vaccinated, He says, and I quote, I
Speaker 4: gave up four years, one hundred and something million decided
Speaker 4: to be unvaccinated, and that was a decision. Irving said, quote,
Speaker 4: I had to deal with the real life circumstances of
Speaker 4: losing my jobs for this decision. NETS Jim Sean Marx
Speaker 4: said he stood by Kyrie and stood by his decision
Speaker 4: and had his back. NETS fans might point out Kyrie's
Speaker 4: vaccination status doesn't matter moving forward. Does the Kyrie situation
Speaker 4: resolve itself now that we're in a new spot with
Speaker 4: the whole pandemic thing. Well, yeah, but.
Speaker 3: Now it'll just be something different.
Speaker 4: Listen saying Kyrie's bound to well.
Speaker 3: Of course he is.
Speaker 2: He's out here sharing Alex Jones clips.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: And I wish I remembered who made this point.
Speaker 2: It was a black sports journalist that I follow and
Speaker 2: respect a lot.
Speaker 3: God dog it, and I can't remember who it was,
Speaker 3: So my apologies.
Speaker 2: But what I'm about to say here, I just don't
Speaker 2: want to plagiarize a really smart point, right, But Kyrie
Speaker 2: sharing the Alex Jones stuff and going all conspiracy theorists.
Speaker 3: Fails to recognize, yes, there are.
Speaker 2: Such ridiculous racial inequalities in how people get medical care.
Speaker 2: There's a history of systemic racism within you know, who
Speaker 2: has access to medical care. All these things, and the
Speaker 2: racism and the attacks on black people on throughout the
Speaker 2: pandemic was not in trying to trick black people into
Speaker 2: getting vaccinated. It was in the fact that when the
Speaker 2: vaccin eight, when the vaccine was first available, if you
Speaker 2: were not incredibly tech savvy, it was damn near impossible
Speaker 2: to get in appointment. And that obviously skew who's the
Speaker 2: most tech sevy. That skews with wealth, that scus with education,
Speaker 2: which skews against minority communities. If you lived in an
Speaker 2: affluent neighborhood, you were more likely to have even if
Speaker 2: you could navigate the the appointment stuff online, more slots available,
Speaker 2: more places doing it. That's where the real crime was
Speaker 2: in that why we saw such ridiculous numbers and the
Speaker 2: jarring differences in death rate of the pandemic for minority
Speaker 2: communities comparing to white communities.
Speaker 3: It wasn't because.
Speaker 2: Of some third eye opening that you can see that
Speaker 2: they're trying to trick folks into getting microchips and all
Speaker 2: this stupid bullsk Kyrie with the big audience was proffering,
Speaker 2: so we can we can never talk about Kyrie and
Speaker 2: the vaccine stuff again after today, and everyone can make
Speaker 2: their own choices. That's fine. I'm not even having in
Speaker 2: that argument. But you don't get a gold star for
Speaker 2: trying to show everyone. Oh, I had this incredibly principled
Speaker 2: stance that you're saying costs you over one hundred million dollars,
Speaker 2: when the principled stance was based on cursory study of
Speaker 2: YouTube videos and no scientific backing whatsoever. Because I do
Speaker 2: believe Kyrie Irving wants to do good in this world.
Speaker 2: You know the best, the easiest way to do good
Speaker 2: if you have an extra hundred million bucks. I think
Speaker 2: he puts his money to good use. I think he
Speaker 2: does support the native communities. I think as hard as
Speaker 2: in the right place. I also think, and I don't
Speaker 2: say this lightly, he's an idiot, and don't this part
Speaker 2: don't clip and put on social because I don't want
Speaker 2: it taken out of context. I don't some of the
Speaker 2: most dangerous people in the world are not dumb people,
Speaker 2: but they are people that don't know what they don't
Speaker 2: know and Kyrie leaning into the Alex Joneses of the world.
Speaker 2: Who is, honest to God, one of the worst human
Speaker 2: beings of modern history. This guy's in court right now
Speaker 2: because for years he claimed those children that died at
Speaker 2: Sandy Hook a decade ago the little kindergarteners were crisis
Speaker 2: actors and no one died there, and tortured their families
Speaker 2: about it. Kyrie's elevating that man to a higher platform
Speaker 2: and then wants us to believe he has solved the
Speaker 2: riddles of the universe. No, you haven't, buddy, And so
Speaker 2: the short answer to your question is, yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: think there's gonna be more vaccine problems with Kyrie, but
Speaker 2: there'll be something else, because there's always something else with him.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I didn't mean to get so angry. We'll be
Speaker 3: right back.
Speaker 5: When it comes to towing, Seeing is believing. That's why

Speaker 5: cameras for fourteen unique views, so you can focus on

Speaker 2: Welcome back in What's Right Nick Wright, Episode seventy five.
Speaker 2: All right, we ended the last segment on a sour
Speaker 2: note phone. My phone's buzzing, so we'll get to We'll
Speaker 2: try to have a little more fun here.
Speaker 3: Hold on, breaking news. There's a little breaking news here.
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh my god, from the athletic I want to
Speaker 2: make sure this is right.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Direct messages and text messages reveal that Lebron James, through
Speaker 2: the Lebron James Family Foundation, over the last few years,
Speaker 2: has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars that we're supposed
Speaker 2: to go to his charitable endeavors to Sierra Canyon, the
Speaker 2: bougie private school that Bronni goes to to help fund
Speaker 2: the basketball program. Further messages reveal that Lebron James and
Speaker 2: California Governor Gavin Newsom have been engaged ever since Lebron
Speaker 2: signed with the Lakers in a multi year scheme diverting
Speaker 2: more than four million dollars from the California Highway Patrol
Speaker 2: that's the police budget. To various other Lebron James businesses
Speaker 2: and interests. So what they're reporting is that Lebron used
Speaker 2: his charity to funnel money to his kids' school for
Speaker 2: their sports program, and that Lebron and the governor at
Speaker 2: California conspired together to take money from the cops for
Speaker 2: lebron pet projects.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, well that's going to be the only
Speaker 3: thing we talk about for the next months.
Speaker 2: That'd be pretty fucking shocking, right, But that is the
Speaker 2: Brett Favre story America, especially with the latest development that
Speaker 2: Farv's charity, which was supposed to give money to kids
Speaker 2: and cancer patients, was actually given money to his daughter's
Speaker 2: high school. That's the story, except instead of Gavin Newsom
Speaker 2: and police budget, it's the governor of Mississippi and welfare recipients.
Speaker 2: So that's as the Brett Favre story continues to metastasize.
Speaker 2: That was my little Time to Kill moment. If you
Speaker 2: remember that Matthew McConaughey Samuel Jackson movie, Now imagine it
Speaker 2: was Lebron James. Now imagine it was anyone other than
Speaker 2: Brett Farr, And it was anyone other than the poorest
Speaker 2: people in the country.
Speaker 3: Poor folks in Mississippi getting screwed here.
Speaker 2: Can you fathom if the story was Lebron and Gavin
Speaker 2: Newsom took money from the cops for Lebron to give
Speaker 2: fake speeches and to build new pickleball facilities because that's
Speaker 2: his new thing.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, I feel like.
Speaker 2: It would be something that would be constantly in the
Speaker 2: headlines and not a few intrepid journalists continuing to you know,
Speaker 2: follow up on as that story.
Speaker 3: Can he use?
Speaker 2: Farre's charity, Far for Hope, had a stated mission to
Speaker 2: support disadvantaged children and cancer patients, donated more than one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty grand to the University's Southern myth Athletic
Speaker 2: Foundation while he was trying to finance new volleyball center
Speaker 2: a few years before. The highest gift that it gave
Speaker 2: was to the University of Southern The whole thing's gross
Speaker 2: gave sixty grand to Oak Grove High in Hattiesburg, where
Speaker 2: his daughter was a volleyball player.
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that was my little bit there, A
Speaker 2: little sorry for the oakid Oak audience.
Speaker 4: Saw you were going like a minute in you figured
Speaker 4: it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were on to me.
Speaker 2: Okay, no problem, All right, demons, let's get the b
Speaker 2: block going.
Speaker 4: All right, we got Chiefs Bucks here. Your Chiefs had
Speaker 4: a melt down against Matt Matt Ryan and the Colts. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they now go to Tampa or maybe Minneapolis, depending on
Speaker 4: what's going on in Tampa Bay with the hurricane.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 4: I had to play the Bucks. Brady is seven and
Speaker 4: two after all loss and the Bucks or have Mike
Speaker 4: Evans returning. Yep. So we like the Bucks getting points
Speaker 4: at home right well.
Speaker 2: They're not getting a lot of points. I think it's
Speaker 2: like one. It's basically a pick them.
Speaker 3: I thought it was two and a half.
Speaker 4: For some reason.
Speaker 2: It might the lines moved a bit, so maybe it
Speaker 2: was two and a half at one point at this morning.
Speaker 3: At last check, it was one. We do not. I
Speaker 3: think there's a bounce back spot for the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: I also think that you have the Bills could lose
Speaker 2: a second straight to Baltimore, either Kansas City or Tampa.
Speaker 2: One of them will lose a second straight. By definition,
Speaker 2: they're playing each other. They both lost last week. I
Speaker 2: don't think it will be a stinging indictment unless any
Speaker 2: of those teams get rocked. If all those games are close.
Speaker 2: I don't think any of this is going to be
Speaker 2: a stinging indictment of any of those teams. Here's what
Speaker 2: I am interested in. Okay, the Chiefs secondary strength after
Speaker 2: Mahomes supposed to be their offensive line. Now no one
Speaker 2: can run on Tampa and the Chiefs couldn't even run
Speaker 2: on Indy. So this is gonna have to be a
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes game. Is he going to have the time?
Speaker 2: Shaq Barrett came out and said, the offensive lines the
Speaker 2: same offensive line. Who's ass we kicked in the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2: This get right game for us? I mean, I'm interested
Speaker 2: to see it. I'm not that worried right now about
Speaker 2: Tampa's offense. Tampa's offense is still a significant work in progress.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now they were down all their.
Speaker 2: Wide receivers and they do get Mike Evans back and
Speaker 2: see about one of the you know, we're doing this
Speaker 2: Thursday morning. We'll see what the final injury report is.
Speaker 2: Tampa's offense shouldn't be as inept as it was against
Speaker 2: Green Bay, but because the Chiefs were so it is
Speaker 2: such a terrible loss that they had to Indy. If
Speaker 2: they needed a little more tightening of the script if
Speaker 2: you will going into a week, this would be the week.
Speaker 2: The other thing I want to see from the Chiefs
Speaker 2: is aggressiveness on fourth down. And what I really want
Speaker 2: to see is Harrison Butker back out there because they
Speaker 2: cut that kicker they signed. They cut him. He's done.
Speaker 2: You may honestly got it. That might have been his
Speaker 2: last kick in the NFL.
Speaker 4: I was under the impression that the guy that was
Speaker 4: doing the kicks was the receipt like the safety.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I wish he was. They signed an
Speaker 3: actual kicker justin Reid.
Speaker 2: Is there is the well two weeks. He played the
Speaker 2: week before and was fine, and then he was terrible
Speaker 2: that week. So I think they signed Matthew Wright in
Speaker 2: a game this close. I don't love that were you
Speaker 2: know what I mean going through the kicker, Carol but it.
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of teams dealing with injuries, all
Speaker 2: things considered, you know, the Chiefs have been pretty been,
Speaker 2: you know, pretty lucky on the injury front.
Speaker 3: They well, i'd say average.
Speaker 2: Look their first draft, first pick of the draft that
Speaker 2: they had, Trent McDuffie, the corner has been out with
Speaker 2: a hamstring since Week one, and they lost their corner
Speaker 2: of their kicker in week one, and you could say
Speaker 2: they lost in Week three because of the kicker thing.
Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna whine about that. The kicker then
Speaker 2: concerns me. They're not going to be able to run
Speaker 2: the ball. I don't even know they should try to
Speaker 2: run the ball. The question is Todd Bowles. His whole
Speaker 2: career has been based on creating pressure, heating up the
Speaker 2: opposing quarterback, sending blitzes. He was able to resist the
Speaker 2: urge to do that against Mahomes in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: They were able to get pressure with just their front
Speaker 2: four and it led to the only start to finish
Speaker 2: bad playoff game Mahomes' career. Is he going to be
Speaker 2: able to resist that urge again? If he sends the
Speaker 2: blitz Mahomes will pick him apart. If he doesn't, could
Speaker 2: be a tight game. But we're doing our pick show
Speaker 2: later today. It'll come out tomorrow. I've got to tell you,
Speaker 2: I do like the Chiefs in this spot.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: I can't wait for that Chiefs Bucks game on Sunday night.
Speaker 2: Gonna have all day the anxiety of it. You know
Speaker 2: what I also can't wait for. They told me we
Speaker 2: have a brand new game. Told me what the game is,
Speaker 2: and they said, we have a fancy new graphic to
Speaker 2: go along with it.
Speaker 3: Another reason people should be watching on YouTube.
Speaker 2: You also you can subscribe on Spotify and Apple iTunes
Speaker 2: all that stuff. But we're watch on YouTube. You can
Speaker 2: see these cool graphics. I'm gonna see it for the
Speaker 2: first time as well. What's the new game, demanse?
Speaker 4: This one was different? This is a doctor right, Oh hey, yes,
Speaker 4: I'll tell you.
Speaker 3: Oh ho, where did they get that picture of you?
Speaker 4: I have no idea, honestly, because.
Speaker 3: That's when your hair was.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I can already see this is gonna be
Speaker 2: used against me in photoshop purposes.
Speaker 3: They're gonna put it looks good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're gonna change take that syringe out of
Speaker 2: my hands and put something else in it.
Speaker 3: They're gonna change your face.
Speaker 2: I when you're when you're as tortured on the internet
Speaker 2: as much as I am, you can see these things coming.
Speaker 2: You can all of a sudden you're like, oh, that's
Speaker 2: gonna be there, and all of a sudden, okay, all right,
Speaker 2: so I'm a I'm.
Speaker 4: You heard the doctor. Yep, I nursed demons will give
Speaker 4: you a case and in your best medical opinion, you
Speaker 4: seegest how we save the patient. Okay, that's problem all right,
Speaker 4: So this is our first one, doctor Wright. Yeah, Anthony
Speaker 4: Davis called the Los Angeles Lakers underdogs at their media day. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I can't be sure, but it seems like Lakers are
Speaker 4: suffering from deep delusion and possibly depression. Further test or needed,
Speaker 4: Doctor Wright, what is your diagnosis of your patient, the Lakers?
Speaker 2: Well, listen, Nurse Demons. I know you're you know, not
Speaker 2: through medical school yet, but I gotta say your diagnosis
Speaker 2: is spot on.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 2: I mean, not delusion about calling themselves underdogs, but delusion
Speaker 2: about thinking this team is going to be anything other
Speaker 2: than a soap opera. I mean, I heard Anthony Davis
Speaker 2: say he wants to play eighty two games. I'd sign
Speaker 2: up right now for seventy two. Okay, I you know
Speaker 2: what I'd take right now, sixty two. Give me sixty
Speaker 2: two games, Anthony Davis, all be happy.
Speaker 3: Seventy two. I'll be through. Eighty two. Ain't happening.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: We got Patrick Beverley saying Russell Westbrook is his best
Speaker 2: friend on the Lakers. Did you see the other thing
Speaker 2: Beverly said was the favorite moment of his career.
Speaker 4: Of him getting the block on Lebron.
Speaker 3: I can't believe.
Speaker 2: I gotta watch this guy he is I so listen.
Speaker 2: I don't think this lineup and roster fits. I think
Speaker 2: we found that out last year.
Speaker 3: I will never come to terms with.
Speaker 2: The fact that the Lakers traded for Anthony Davis had
Speaker 2: the best record in basketball pandemic hit. They didn't go
Speaker 2: to the bubble wash everybody out. Everyone calls it a
Speaker 2: bubble title. The Lakers were the one seat, they were
Speaker 2: the one seed pre pandemic. They they were the favorites
Speaker 2: pre pandemic. They wash everybody out. The next year they
Speaker 2: run it back and they had the second best record
Speaker 2: in all of bat basketball before Lebron got hurt. Lebron
Speaker 2: got hurt, it goes to hell. Anthony Davis gets hurt
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, it goes further to hell.
Speaker 3: And then that's summer.
Speaker 2: They blow the whole team up. They were the Vegas
Speaker 2: favorites to repeat. They had the second best record in
Speaker 2: the sport, and then their top two guys were out
Speaker 2: with injury, and they blow the whole thing up. And
Speaker 2: now it's Russell Westbrook, Patrick Beverly. So, yeah, I the
Speaker 2: depression is me. The delusion is anyone thinking the Lakers
Speaker 2: without making a massive trade can contend. I can't believe
Speaker 2: it's the It's the most disenchanted I've been with the
Speaker 2: Lebron James team maybe ever, certainly since the twenty eighteen Cabs.
Speaker 4: And maybe the reality check.
Speaker 3: Yeah maybe all right?
Speaker 4: Next, all right, doctor right. Our next patient is the
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh Steelers. We have received word that they could potentially
Speaker 4: receive a quarterback transplant. Doctor right, what do you advise
Speaker 4: for your patient, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 3: Well, you're gonna die if you don't do the transplant. Okay,
Speaker 3: so do what you want.
Speaker 2: But down here, right now now, I don't want to
Speaker 2: mislead you. The transplant might kill you too, Okay. I'm
Speaker 2: not guaranteeing this new heart, can he Pickett is going
Speaker 2: to save your life. But I am guaranteeing your current heart,
Speaker 2: Mitch Trubisky is going to kill you.
Speaker 3: There's a thing we call the widow maker.
Speaker 2: It's a heart attack that nobody survives that's inevitable.
Speaker 3: In fact, we can find it. Let me find it
Speaker 3: for you.
Speaker 2: I tell you the exact date if you don't switch
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and give your team a chance. One moment, pittsfordh
Speaker 2: that widow Maker Week six would be coming at the
Speaker 2: latest on October thirtieth. That's against Philadelphia, because maybe you
Speaker 2: survive this week against the Jets, and then you're at
Speaker 2: the Bills, then you're home for the Bucks, then you're
Speaker 2: at Miami, and then October thirtie. If you're at Philadelphia,
Speaker 2: you're dead by then. And Tomlin's record of never being
Speaker 2: below five hundred is dead.
Speaker 3: It's all dead.
Speaker 2: I would have gone, I would have done the transplant
Speaker 2: this past week. Remember they played last Thursday, so they
Speaker 2: have the extra time, and they have the Jets, so
Speaker 2: it's like, that's a nice soft landing for the rookie. Instead,
Speaker 2: Buffalo's pass rush, Tampa's pass rush, Miami and then Philly
Speaker 2: are their next four.
Speaker 3: So you know what, get the transplant.
Speaker 2: I would get the transplant, but i'd also transplant, or
Speaker 2: i'd get your affairs in order. I'd start talking to
Speaker 2: your family. I'd make sure everybody knows, because I don't
Speaker 2: think you're long for this world either way.
Speaker 4: Next all right, Despite it being only Week four, the
Speaker 4: Cardinals are on life support with a nasty case of
Speaker 4: chronic Cliff Kingsbury itis. Doctor right, well, DeAndrea Hopkins, return
Speaker 4: return to the I'm sorry, return be the cure for
Speaker 4: the Cardinals or or will it already be too late?
Speaker 2: So here's the deal. There's only one way to rid
Speaker 2: yourself of Cliff Kingsbury itis. You have to cut it
Speaker 2: out of your body. There is there, and until you do,
Speaker 2: even when you feel good, it's going to be lurking
Speaker 2: in the background.
Speaker 3: Then it might come up and get you.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: However, because of the conference there in, I don't think
Speaker 2: the Cardinals are dead either. So you just we gotta
Speaker 2: find seven playoff teams. Who in the NFC are we
Speaker 2: fully confident is going to be there in the end. Philly,
Speaker 2: Green Bay, the Rams.
Speaker 3: And I'm fully confident Tampa. That's four. We gotta find
Speaker 3: three more teams.
Speaker 4: Dallas.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm skeptical. The Vikings I believe in. Now let's
Speaker 2: call it. Let's lack the Vikings in work five, the
Speaker 2: Bears and everyone else in the Washington obviously, not the Giants, obviously,
Speaker 2: not the Bears, obviously, not the Lions. I can't say
Speaker 2: obviously not I don't believe in them, though, we're gonna
Speaker 2: say no. The NFC South, the Saints are disaster. The
Speaker 2: Falcons aren't trying to win, yeah, and the Panthers can't
Speaker 2: get out of their own way. The Panthers are not dead,
Speaker 2: but they can't get out of their own way. So
Speaker 2: that takes us to the NFC West. I like the Niners,
Speaker 2: pencil them in. There's still one spot open and in.
Speaker 2: The Niners are by no means a sure thing, right,
Speaker 2: So I don't think Cliff Kingsbury itis necessarily kills you
Speaker 2: this year, but it will kill you eventually if you
Speaker 2: don't cut it out.
Speaker 3: So you guys make your own decision.
Speaker 2: But I'm not writing the Cardinals off yet for the season,
Speaker 2: but they have a clear ceiling as long as he's
Speaker 2: their coach. And by the way, did you see Kyler's
Speaker 2: latest quote? No, I told guys, when you're playing with me,
Speaker 2: you can't be falling asleep.
Speaker 3: Got us to be awake. Kyler's a pain in the ass.
Speaker 2: I think I don't know that people love playing with
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray. I don't and he aside from the second
Speaker 2: half against the Raiders, he's been bad since the playoff game.
Speaker 2: So this is something to watch with them, all right,
Speaker 2: last okay.
Speaker 4: You administered an injection of Baker Mayfield to the Panthers
Speaker 4: offense to make them a complete unit. However, it seems
Speaker 4: that nothing is changing. Yeah, doctor Wright, is it time
Speaker 4: to train treatment plans and introduce fifty ccs of Sam
Speaker 4: dharmw No.
Speaker 3: It'll kill him. They they're allergic. No no, no, that'll
Speaker 3: that'll kill the patient.
Speaker 4: So you think it's just taking time.
Speaker 3: No, they might die anyway. Oh no, no, no, I'm not
Speaker 3: saying Baker's the cure. Okay, but I know Sam is poisoned.
Speaker 3: So no, no, no, no, absolutely not.
Speaker 2: That's that you saw the little bracelet that came in wearing,
Speaker 2: which shows you their allergies.
Speaker 3: Donald's on there. It'll stop their heart. Okay, no, no, no, no, no, listen.
Speaker 2: I'm not here to finn Baker Mayfield right now. He
Speaker 2: has not played good or he's not played well, he's
Speaker 2: not played good football.
Speaker 3: But Donald will kill the patient. Okay, So no, absolutely not.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed that game that we did a good job
Speaker 2: of it. It's fun, a nice little rapid fire. We
Speaker 2: have a new c block coming at you. We're trying
Speaker 2: out another new thing.

Speaker 2: We're gonna go rapid fire questions. I'm gonna ask you one,
Speaker 2: You're gonna ask me one. We got four minutes. We'll
Speaker 2: see how many we can do, so we have quick answers.
Speaker 2: A right, I'm gonna go to you first. Who's better
Speaker 2: you at two K or me at FIFA. All right,

Speaker 3: Next you gous?
Speaker 4: Oh blessed place outside of London's an international game? Oh?
Speaker 2: Barcelona? Yeah, Barcelona is a for me, a top one
Speaker 2: city in the world. But I haven't traveled everywhere. But
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable. The food's great, the people are beautiful, it's
Speaker 2: on a beach, it's cosmopolitan. They already have an amazing stadium.
Speaker 2: Because of the soccer team, Barcelona is where it should go.
Speaker 4: Next. Next, Oh, it's my question.
Speaker 2: Sorry about that, My bad. Uh have you seen Jimmy
Speaker 2: Butler's new hairdoo?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What do you think of it?
Speaker 4: I didn't think that it was real.
Speaker 3: It's not real. It is, No, but it's not he's lying.
Speaker 3: You can't grow You can't grow dreads in a month.
Speaker 4: I mean he had like smaller dreads.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, he got extensions. You got extensions. Now that
Speaker 2: you know that it's extensions, What do you think of it?
Speaker 4: Hey? Man, do what you do?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: You're good with it? Okay, good, you know what. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna sit that one out.
Speaker 2: Okay, I feel like, you know what, there are a
Speaker 2: lot of things. I deserve an opinion on Jimmy Butler's hairstyle.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna sit that one out.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, next, all right, is pickle or one more
Speaker 4: of a sport?
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a really interesting question. I think pickleball is
Speaker 2: more of a sport. I think F one is far
Speaker 2: more difficult, takes more training, more all of it. Okay,
Speaker 2: but pickleball, I think is more of a sport just
Speaker 2: because it has all the elements you would need of
Speaker 2: a sport where there's a defense, you're there's a score
Speaker 2: of the all all those things.
Speaker 3: All right, now my turn again. Once the NBA.
Speaker 2: Season starts, do you think you are gonna be as
Speaker 2: locked in on Sunday Football as you've been the last
Speaker 2: few weeks.
Speaker 3: Do you think by then it will have been eight
Speaker 3: weeks of NFL.
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna answer the question. I think I
Speaker 4: will probably be just as invested, if not maybe a
Speaker 4: little less invested. But I do think when NBA season
Speaker 4: rolls around, I think the gambling career thing might come
Speaker 4: back to life. Okay, well, I'm sticking to the yeah exactly.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something real quick. There is nothing
Speaker 3: more tilting than betting basketball.
Speaker 2: We can talk about it later, but because there are
Speaker 2: times where what overtime does to you in basketball games.
Speaker 2: You have a team that you think is gonna win
Speaker 2: out right, and they're seven and a half point underdogs,
Speaker 2: and you bet them plus seven and a half and
Speaker 2: they lose in overtime by nine.
Speaker 3: Or a team that is.
Speaker 2: Well, it's just there's just a bet is never safe
Speaker 2: because of overtime times.
Speaker 3: And then but and the other thing with the betting
Speaker 3: the NBA.
Speaker 2: Is you you love a team, they're favored by two
Speaker 2: and a half, You're like, they're gonna kill them. They're
Speaker 2: up ten the entire fourth quarter, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: you they're up five with two seconds left and the
Speaker 2: other team, the team shoots a half quarter. Oh it's tilting, buddy,
Speaker 2: all right? Uh is that it's your question?
Speaker 3: Your turn?
Speaker 4: Uh? So, how ridiculous is it to say that there's
Speaker 4: a quarterback controversy in Dallas.
Speaker 3: It's so dumb.
Speaker 2: It's so dumb, And I can't believe my colleagues in
Speaker 2: the media have leaned into it the way they have.
Speaker 2: It baffles me that they are trying to buy Jerry Jones's.
Speaker 3: Bullshit on this.
Speaker 2: There's nothing Cooper Rush could do to take Dak Prescott job.
Speaker 3: Do you disagree?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no no. I think it's wildly disrespectful.
Speaker 3: I think it's insane.
Speaker 2: I think it's Jerry Jones just baiting the media and
Speaker 2: the media falling into it. All right, Uh, let me
Speaker 2: ask you this real quick. Do you think there's any sport.
Speaker 3: That I could beat you in?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: Well, definitely golf.
Speaker 4: Well if we're not, if you're gonna be say, definitely golf,
Speaker 4: then there's nothing else on the table that you're definitely beating.
Speaker 2: I mean, so I thought I was gonna beat you
Speaker 2: in that race that we had as a family the
Speaker 2: other day, and demand's ay, just just he almost fell
Speaker 2: because he was wearing slides and still dusted me.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: And it also your mom said it. But it made
Speaker 2: us all realize we should have made you run track
Speaker 2: in high school.
Speaker 4: Because you have suck and plenty of a track out
Speaker 4: there were a Brett young Blood. Oh yeah, well, plenty
Speaker 4: of track with that guy.
Speaker 2: But but I think you would have been great at
Speaker 2: it because you have such long legs. Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: If you.
Speaker 2: Got a few golf lessons. I think you'd be really
Speaker 2: good because you're a natural athlete. The sport that I
Speaker 2: know you'd be awesome, man, is tennis.
Speaker 3: All right, So there was episode seventy five, What's Right
Speaker 3: with Nick? Right? Sorry if it was a little awkward
Speaker 3: transition there at the end.
Speaker 2: It's like technical difficulties when I think the I think
Speaker 2: our production shut down right before demands was about to
Speaker 2: say I heard Lebron James might try to go play
Speaker 2: college football, so I'm thinking about doing the same thing.
Speaker 3: Is that where you were going with that? By the way, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I figured that.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, necessarily didn't have to be college, but.
Speaker 2: Well you're you are out of high school elegily and AI,
