<v Speaker 3>Sure, let's get this.

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, here's what missed the cut. Here's what's

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:40.119
<v Speaker 2>not on today's show. Cam Newton throwing at Auburns pro

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>day Odell and the Jets having mutual interest. I'm not

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 2>so sure about that one. And Jaw returning coming off

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 2>the bench against the Rockets. You know what, I know

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 2>we said that missed the cut before we even get

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 2>to what's actually on the show. Uh, you clamped for

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:00.040
<v Speaker 2>Jaw to.

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 3>A great player. You know.

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't go about the outside life stuff. I just

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 4>played the game.

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, you don't really care about off the courts now,

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't. Can I show you? However, the shirt Jaw's

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 2>dad war to the game, So that's Jaw's dad. That

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 2>shirt says redemption is a picture of Jaw I think

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 2>dapping up his dad like dislike, don't care.

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't care, don't care, just play ball?

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Who cares?

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 3>Wearing his daddy?

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Team or Ant has become part of this story.

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure exactly what the Redemption arc, how exactly

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 2>how it works, but Jow's back and I think the

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Grizzlies might win the West. All right, speaking of the

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Western Conference, there were some games last night, Dampoo, Why

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>don't you get us started.

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 3>The Lakers once again? Well you think we shouldn't start

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:01.639
<v Speaker 3>with I mean that's what's here.

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, go ahead.

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 3>The Lakers got a huge win over the Suns last night.

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah they did.

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 4>Why while we're in Aruba, they'll play the Thunder and

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.639
<v Speaker 4>the Bills twice Bulls, the Bulls, my bad sol Gills

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 4>a football team. Yeah, that's when we get back.

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Are they going to be closer to the sixth seed

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 3>or the eleven seed?

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, so this is very interesting. So last night's

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>win was massive for them. Yeah, last night in the

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>NBA went kind of good for the Lakers, kind of bad.

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 2>So here's what went bad. The Timberwolves, who they're chasing,

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 2>beat the Hawks by one. At the end of now,

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 2>shout out to Karl Anthony Towns. He's been out since October.

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>He also has dealt with a ton of personal tragedy

0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 2>over the last few years. Lost multiple family members due

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 2>to COVID, got injured very early this year. Three seconds left,

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 2>he gets fouled down one hits both free throws shout

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>out to him. The Hawks, though then get the ball,

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.839
<v Speaker 2>get obviously fouled on their final shot. The refs don't

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 2>call it. Timberwolves win by one, so that's a team

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers are chasing. The Timberwolves win. What went well

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 2>for the Lakers last night is the Blazers finally got

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 2>a win. They beat the Jazz, so the Jazz drop

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 2>a bit in the standings. And then the Warriors MAVs game,

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 2>which we're gonna get into later. The Lakers are chasing

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 2>both of those teams. Obviously one of them had to lose,

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 2>ended up being the Mavericks. So the Lakers sit here

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 2>right now in the ten spot, but it is so congested.

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 2>The Sons are the four seed, and we count losses.

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 2>This is an important thing. I say it on the

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 2>TV show all the time. At this point in the year,

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.600
<v Speaker 2>all you need to do is look at the lost column.

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 2>You can make up wins because you all play eighty

0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 2>two games. You can't make up losses. Once you have

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 2>X amount of losses, you can't go backwards from that.

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>So the Suns are the four seed. They have thirty

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:59.479
<v Speaker 2>four losses. The Clippers are the five seed. They have

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 2>thirty five losses. Then you have the Warriors and the

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Thunder both with thirty six losses, and in the Timberwolves, MAVs, Lakers, Jazz,

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 2>and Pelicans all with thirty seven losses. So the Lakers

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 2>play the Thunder on Friday. That is a great spot

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 2>for Los Angeles and it is the newest, latest, most

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 2>important game of the year. Why well, for a number

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.679
<v Speaker 2>of reasons. One is they're chasing them. The other one

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 2>is and they might really not even be chasing them

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.839
<v Speaker 2>after tonight, because the Thunder play the Clippers tonight, but

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>the Thunder beat the Lakers the night Lebron broke the record.

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.040
<v Speaker 2>The Lakers then beat the Thunder without Lebron or ad

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:45.479
<v Speaker 2>in a night Shay wasn't playing. Now they play Friday

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 2>their final game of the year, so it's a huge

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 2>game in the standings. It also will determine the tiebreaker,

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 2>so where if the Thunder and the Lakers finished with

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 2>the same record, who gets the higher seed. It would

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 2>be the winner of Friday night's game. It is a

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 2>great time to play the Thunder because the Thunder played

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 2>the Clippers in a war night before last. They then

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>play the Clippers tonight and the very next night, second

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 2>night of a back to get back, third game in

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 2>three days or in four days, pardon me, they play

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers, so the Lakers will have some rest, the Thunder,

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.040
<v Speaker 2>won't I think the Lakers will win that game. Thunder

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>then drop Lakers move up. You then get two games

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.479
<v Speaker 2>against the Chicago Bulls. And there was some weird I

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:30.799
<v Speaker 2>didn't let me check see if there's been an update

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 2>this moment, but Demarta Rosen got dinged yester last night

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 2>and Demarta Rosan aggravates quad injury and lopsided Bulls loss.

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 2>So Demarta Rosen exiting with seven minutes and forty eight

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>seconds left in the third quarter, and it was in

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 2>a game that he had already been playing poorly, clearly

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't right. So the Bulls might be without DeRozan, plus

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 2>they're not very good. Plus it's a chance to get

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.479
<v Speaker 2>revenge on Pack Beverley. Here's my point. I think the Lakers,

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 2>who haven't been five hundred all year long and are

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 2>sitting at thirty six and thirty seven when we get

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 2>back from our trip the next time that we that

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm on the air for What's Right show a week

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 2>from today. I think the Lakers are gonna be thirty

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 2>nine and thirty seven. I think they're gonna win their

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 2>next three. If that happens, there's a real chance that

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.240
<v Speaker 2>when we get here on Thursday, they are the sixth seed.

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Last night's win was critical. And here's the other thing.

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 2>The Suns are holding on for dear life to avoid

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 2>the play in themselves. The Clippers, who we're gonna get to,

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 2>are holding on for dear life to avoid the play in.

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>The Warriors, all of a sudden have won back to

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 2>back road games, but they play the Sixers on Sunday.

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 2>On Friday, I should say the next couple days in

0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 2>the NBA are gonna go a long ways to determining

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 2>what's what in the Western Conference. What are you laughing about?

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 3>Nothing? Tell me nothing?

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay. So the tomorrow night, the Thunder, I'm sorry, Tonight,

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 2>the Thunder play the Clippers. That's again from a Lakers perspective,

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 2>that's one of those. It's one of the teams you're chasing,

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 2>gets to win, one gets a loss. That's really the

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 2>only relevant game to the Lakers. Tonight, then tomorrow massive.

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 2>As we mentioned, the Lakers play the Thunder also Tomorrow,

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 2>the Jazz host the Bucks. The Bucks should win that

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 2>game and put the Jazz at thirty eight losses and

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the Sixers go to Golden State. If the Sixers and

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Joel Embiid can win that game and Joel aggravated a

0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.320
<v Speaker 2>bit of an injury, hardens, we got to see what

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 2>their health is for that game. But they're fighting for seeding.

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.560
<v Speaker 2>If they can win that game, and then we have

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 2>the Kings hosting the Suns. The Lakers could by Saturday

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 2>be a half game out of the sixty. All right,

0:08:59.200 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 2>what's next?

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 3>Look like the Warriors are going to embarrass you again.

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:09.560
<v Speaker 3>You said they're dead. Embarrass me, embarrass you? Okay, you

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 3>said they're dead.

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 4>Last night they beat your guy Luca in the MAVs.

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:15.079
<v Speaker 4>You scared yet?

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not scared of the Warriors.

0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.600
<v Speaker 3>You should be, But why do you.

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Think I should be just because of Stephen Clay? See?

0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 3>That is dangerous.

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, here's my thing, and I really really because I

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 2>know I here's the thing, and I hope you don't

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 2>take this the wrong way, but your analysis there is

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:43.079
<v Speaker 2>exactly what the people who get paid millions of dollars

0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.560
<v Speaker 2>to watch all the games and talk about this on TV.

0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 3>That's exactly what they say. Oh then where's my millions?

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Well no, but here's my point. It is such a

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:58.760
<v Speaker 2>fast style point, like, ah, they're the Warriors, You've got

0:09:58.800 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 2>to be afraid of them.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.960
<v Speaker 3>It is what the that's what you would say about Lebron.

0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 2>The Warriors don't have Lebron.

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't matter. They don't need Lebron. They're freaking the Warriors.

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, you're correct to a degree that that is

0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 2>what I would say about Lebron. However, the Warriors do not,

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 2>in my estimation this year, have the cohesion, have any type,

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 2>that the depth, any of the things they need to

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 2>be a truly scary team. Now, last night there was

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of hijinks in the game, and that's actually

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 2>what I want to talk about before before I get

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>to the Warrior's side of it, because the MAVs are

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 2>filing a protest because if you don't watch last night's game,

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 2>this is what happened. Late in the third quarter, the

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 2>ref the ball goes out of bounds, the MAVs didn't

0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 2>call timeout. The ref does initially signal Warriors ball. He

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.440
<v Speaker 2>then signals towards the MAVs the MAVs think he's saying

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.679
<v Speaker 2>it's their ball, they call timeout. He was saying they

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 2>called time, that they called timeout, not that it was

0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 2>their ball. Go to commercial, come back. All the MAVs

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 2>are lined up on the other end of the court

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>like it's their ball. One of the refs is also

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 2>down there. The Warriors are lined up by the basket

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to score on like it's their ball. The

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:22.640
<v Speaker 2>refs just hand the Warriors the ball. There's no one

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.680
<v Speaker 2>down there. They getna lay up. They end up winning

0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 2>the game by two points. So the MAVs are furious

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.440
<v Speaker 2>about this. Mark Cuban's furious about this. They're gonna file

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 2>a protest. They're not gonna win the protest. So why

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 2>did this happen? Well, there was an odd thing going

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:41.319
<v Speaker 2>on in yesterday's game, and Luca's gotta own this. So

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 2>look the NBA, if you get sixteen technicals over the

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 2>course of a season, you get suspended for a game.

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Draymond just got suspended for a game because he's on sixteen.

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Now then for him, you get then suspended every other game.

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Luca is sitting on fifteen and the MAVs obviously have

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 2>to win every game. The ref last night, we're clearly

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 2>afraid to give Draymond or Luca attack when they clearly

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:12.079
<v Speaker 2>deserved them multiple times because they didn't want the suspension

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.839
<v Speaker 2>to happen. Draymond and Luca then took advantage of it.

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Luca went further and whenever the refs missed a call

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 2>started doing this, the money signed like the refs were

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.440
<v Speaker 2>paid off. I think he's gonna get fined fifty thousand

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 2>dollars for it. I love Luca, you can't do that,

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 2>and it gives the refs incentive to stick it to you,

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 2>which I think they were doing. So. The MAVs right

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.640
<v Speaker 2>now are in a spot where they have to hold

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 2>on for dear life just to make the play in.

0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 2>They're very fortunate they won that game last Friday against

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers. The Lakers Blue and for the MAVs now,

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I'll say this, if they end up the eight seed,

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.439
<v Speaker 2>I think they absolutely can beat Dallas. But their defense

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 2>at them is an abomination. There is no resistance at

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 2>the rim, and it was a layup line for the

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Warriors yesterday. Now to the Warriors that again, I'm told

0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I have to be scared of a Warriors team that

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.040
<v Speaker 2>has been the fourth worst road team on the year

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.440
<v Speaker 2>this season, a Warriors team that last night did not

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 2>even have Jordan Poole, their newly minted hundred million dollar man,

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 2>in their closing lineup. Instead, they went with Dante DiVincenzo

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 2>because Pool has been so bad defensively and making bad decisions.

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I have massive respect for Steph, and Steph has been

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 2>great all year long. With that said, the Warriors have

0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 2>been a five hundred team at every stretch of the season,

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:55.320
<v Speaker 2>and unlike the Lakers, who have been around five hundred

0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 2>after the two Lakers started to intend and then trying

0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>to get back to five hundred, they haven't gotten there. Ye,

0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers can say, well a d missed a month.

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Lebron is in the midst of missing a month. The

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Warriors were a five hundred team in games Steph plays

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.200
<v Speaker 2>in games he doesn't now. They do have San Antonio

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 2>still on their schedule. They do have Portland in the

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.319
<v Speaker 2>final game of the year, in a game that I

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 2>think will mean nothing for Portland, but the idea the

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Warriors are no more of a lock right now to

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 2>make the postseason than the Lakers. I understand there are

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.280
<v Speaker 2>a loss ahead of them in the standings. Also, if

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 2>those two teams finished with the same record, the Lakers,

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 2>because they've won the season series, have the tiebreaker there.

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I do not believe that this Warriors team has the

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 2>juice this season, and I will go a step further

0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 2>on that. I think there was such an emotional toll

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 2>in a positive way taken by them winning a title

0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 2>without Durant that they then understandably, we're already this year.

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 3>Gonna let their foot off the gas a bit.

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 2>You then combine it with the fact that Draymond cold

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 2>cocked one of the players and the kind of long

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 2>tale of that all year. I don't think they have it.

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.200
<v Speaker 2>It's a good win for them last night against Dallas.

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 2>I've been wrong on the Warriors before, but I would

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 2>expect when they play Philly on Friday night, assuming Embiid plays,

0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 2>they have no answer for Embiid and they're right, and

0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 2>they're then once again fighting just to stay out of

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 2>the plan. All right, next time will tell you you

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.400
<v Speaker 2>believe in them. I believe, and you also like watching them.

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 3>I love watching them. The good team to watch. They're enjoyable.

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, that's like the only sauce.

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 2>It's not hate sauce, and I've had to eat it

0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:46.479
<v Speaker 2>when I've been wrong about.

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, what nothing?

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, great to eat Okay.

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 4>The Curse Clippers lost Paul George for the last three weeks. Yeah,

0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 4>could they miss the playoffs?

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 3>Entirely said they could?

0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 2>Will they fall out of the play in?

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 2>But in the if they don't have Paul George for

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 2>the play in, they could lose play into elimination games.

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.800
<v Speaker 2>They could lose any of those games and just be done.

0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:18.560
<v Speaker 2>And so there's a Kaui angle to this. And then

0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 2>there's a trade angle to this, which is also kind

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 2>of a Kauai angle. The Qui angle is I have

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 2>I had to listen for the better part of a

0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 2>year that this guy was the best player in the

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 2>league after what he did in Toronto. Then he goes

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 2>to La best player in LA. I had to listen

0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 2>to all of that. Kawhi, it is now incumbent upon

0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 2>It is not fair to ask why if Paul George

0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 2>is done for the year to lead them to a championship.

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 2>It is absolutely fair to say, Kawhi, make sure they

0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.800
<v Speaker 2>make the playoffs. You are as load managed as any

0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.680
<v Speaker 2>player in the league should be. The freshest superstar in

0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.399
<v Speaker 2>the league. Right now, you have a bit of a

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.880
<v Speaker 2>cushion in the standings at the moment due to what

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:10.360
<v Speaker 2>the team has done over the bulk of the season.

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.560
<v Speaker 2>You're the five seed right now, you're at thirty five losses.

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:17.480
<v Speaker 2>You can't fall out of the playoffs altogether.

0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:19.040
<v Speaker 3>Just can't.

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:23.719
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, the Clippers schedule is not easy.

0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:28.680
<v Speaker 2>As I mentioned, they host Oklahoma City tonight Saturday, they

0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 2>host New Orleans Monday, they host Chicago, that's the softest part.

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:39.879
<v Speaker 2>Then their final six games at Memphis, at Memphis again,

0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:44.159
<v Speaker 2>at New Orleans home for the Lakers, home for the

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Blazers again. The Blazers at that point might have packed

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 2>it in, and then at Phoenix in the final game

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.160
<v Speaker 2>of the year that theoretically Kevin Durant could be back

0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:57.960
<v Speaker 2>for big spots here for Kawhi Leonard. Now to the Clippers,

0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:02.680
<v Speaker 2>the other angler. They are man they have gotten since

0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:05.159
<v Speaker 2>they got Kawhi and Paul George. Their first year together,

0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.240
<v Speaker 2>they're up three to one on the Nuggets. They fall

0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 2>apart entirely. Their second year together, they look like they

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.520
<v Speaker 2>have a real chance of making the finals. Kawhi blows

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:17.160
<v Speaker 2>out his knee in around two of the playoffs. They

0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.080
<v Speaker 2>end up winning that round anyway, but they lose obviously

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.760
<v Speaker 2>to the Suns in the conference finals. Then next year,

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Kawhi misses all year, Paul George keeps them afloat they

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.440
<v Speaker 2>get to the play in, Paul George is ruled out

0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 2>for the play in due to COVID health and safety protocols,

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:36.120
<v Speaker 2>and their season ends. And now this year, when they

0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:38.159
<v Speaker 2>look like one of the scariest teams in the West,

0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.880
<v Speaker 2>they end up having to They're not gonna have Paul

0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.080
<v Speaker 2>George for at least the rest of the regular season.

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Now we get back to how this whole thing started

0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:52.879
<v Speaker 2>with them that Paul George trade. I understand I argued

0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.239
<v Speaker 2>with Broussard about this, like any team would make it.

0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.240
<v Speaker 2>You traded for Paul George, you ended up getting. That

0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:02.879
<v Speaker 2>was how you got Kawhi Leonard got. But again, not

0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:06.080
<v Speaker 2>to reference Lebron for the third time in the show,

0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:11.679
<v Speaker 2>but I have had to listen for Lebron's entire career,

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 2>and certainly is Lakers tenure that it is on him

0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:18.639
<v Speaker 2>that he forced the Lakers to trade for us. It

0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:22.919
<v Speaker 2>didn't work, and Lebron did it. Well, let's revisit this fact.

0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 2>Kawhi Leonard. The Clippers had the opportunity to sign Kawhi

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.919
<v Speaker 2>Leonard and give up no one. He told them, in

0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 2>order to get me, you must trade for Paul George.

0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 2>So let's talk about what they gave up for Paul George,

0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:50.439
<v Speaker 2>because it is quite the hall now that we know

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 2>this has not worked out at all. They traded for

0:19:55.480 --> 0:20:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Paul George Shay Gilgess Alexander, who is in all NBA

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:04.679
<v Speaker 2>level player right now plays for the Thunder averaging thirty

0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 2>two points per game, and the Thunder have been as

0:20:07.359 --> 0:20:10.639
<v Speaker 2>good as the Clippers all year based on his play.

0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:12.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say alone, but he's been the

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:18.040
<v Speaker 2>driving force Danilo Gallinari, so be it. And five first

0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 2>round picks they traded them a twenty twenty one pick, first,

0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:30.120
<v Speaker 2>a twenty twenty three first, a twenty twenty two first,

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 2>a first in twenty four, a first in twenty six,

0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:38.159
<v Speaker 2>and the rights to swap picks in twenty three and

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:44.240
<v Speaker 2>twenty five. So five first round picks, two swaps and

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:48.880
<v Speaker 2>the best player in the trade. Why so the Clippers

0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 2>if Kawhi when he went there had said no I'm

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 2>just gonna come here, keep shay, keep all those picks,

0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 2>and wait and see how we can improve. The team

0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.600
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't do that, and now they looked what for the

0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:07.800
<v Speaker 2>fourth year of this to have no championship hopes and

0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:11.480
<v Speaker 2>for their next four seasons they either have to give

0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:14.160
<v Speaker 2>up their first round pick or swap with the thunder

0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:17.160
<v Speaker 2>who they thunder might swap with them this year because

0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the thunder might in him with a better record than

0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 2>them this year. It's a disaster of a trade.

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Last thing, Danielle, you.

0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:28.440
<v Speaker 4>Said the Kings have the best offense in NBA history. Yep,

0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.800
<v Speaker 4>five of the top nine all time or this year?

0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Yep?

0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 3>What is happening?

0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay? So when I so you do points per one

0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 2>hundred possessions? The Kings literally do as I don't understand that.

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:41.040
<v Speaker 3>You have to explain it, okay.

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:45.520
<v Speaker 2>So the so, there's two ways to measure offense, right,

0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:48.080
<v Speaker 2>how many points do you score in a game or

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.359
<v Speaker 2>points per possession. The reason it's better to do points

0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:54.439
<v Speaker 2>per possession is how many points you score in a

0:21:54.480 --> 0:21:57.600
<v Speaker 2>game can be influenced greatly by how fast you play.

0:21:58.000 --> 0:21:59.680
<v Speaker 2>If you run up and down the court, you get

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 2>more possessions. You know what I mean. And so the

0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:05.399
<v Speaker 2>best way to normalize it against all of history is

0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 2>points per possession. You do points per one hundred possessions,

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:11.000
<v Speaker 2>because that's usually about how many there is in a game.

0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 2>The Kings have the best offense in NBA history by

0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:18.359
<v Speaker 2>that metric. The third best offense in NBA history is

0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:21.439
<v Speaker 2>the Nuggets this year, the fourth best offense in NBA histories,

0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics this year, the sixth best offense in NBA histories,

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 2>the Sixers this year. So four of the top six

0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:32.119
<v Speaker 2>aer this year. So what's happening? Old school folks are

0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:37.439
<v Speaker 2>gonna say nobody plays defense. That is flatly not true. Again,

0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:40.160
<v Speaker 2>the NBA just announced that over the next few days,

0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:42.119
<v Speaker 2>if you sign up for yours an unpaid ad, if

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:47.480
<v Speaker 2>you sign up for nbaid, you have access to all

0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 2>of the finals games. You can watch them in full

0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:53.840
<v Speaker 2>from the nineties through now. Go watch some of those

0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:57.080
<v Speaker 2>mid nineties finals games and you tell me, was it

0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:01.679
<v Speaker 2>great defense or was it compact did offense and and

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 2>bad shot making. It's I promise you it's the latter,

0:23:04.920 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 2>not the former. It's not about guys not playing defense.

0:23:08.320 --> 0:23:14.399
<v Speaker 2>It's about clearly and unquestionably two things. What with three things?

0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:18.639
<v Speaker 2>One is the prevalence of the three point shot is

0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the biggest reason for this of anything. The threes are

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:26.159
<v Speaker 2>worth fifty percent more than twos. Teams shoot more threes

0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:29.120
<v Speaker 2>now than ever before. It is as simple as that.

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:32.919
<v Speaker 2>That's the biggest reason. The second reason is the overall

0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:37.120
<v Speaker 2>talent level in the league has never been higher due

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:40.720
<v Speaker 2>to the ubiquitousness of the foreign players. And how we

0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:42.760
<v Speaker 2>talk about when we talk about this later, the best

0:23:42.760 --> 0:23:45.680
<v Speaker 2>players in the sport. Four of the top six are

0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:47.920
<v Speaker 2>not American born. You have so you have more talent

0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:50.280
<v Speaker 2>to draw from than ever four. And the last thing

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:55.280
<v Speaker 2>is this, the league probably needs to expand. In the nineties,

0:23:56.160 --> 0:24:00.080
<v Speaker 2>you add six teams added from the late eighties to

0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:07.200
<v Speaker 2>the early nineties. They added the Heat, the Magic, the Timberwolves,

0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 2>the Raptors, the Grizzlies, and one other team I'm forgetting.

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:13.480
<v Speaker 2>They added six teams to the league in a short

0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 2>period of time. They didn't have enough talent, so all

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:20.240
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden, instead of teams having three superstars per team,

0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:24.160
<v Speaker 2>it was two, sometimes even one. Now the league has

0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:27.520
<v Speaker 2>not expanded since then. In the nineties, there's enough talent

0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:30.639
<v Speaker 2>for thirty two or thirty four teams and because of that,

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:34.280
<v Speaker 2>scoring his way up. And really it's because teams are smarter.

0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:37.359
<v Speaker 2>They're taking smarter shots. Instead of taking mid range jump shots,

0:24:37.440 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 2>they're taking three pointers. So do I think the Kings

0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:43.359
<v Speaker 2>are actually the best offense ever? No? I think they

0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:46.480
<v Speaker 2>are the best offense this year. And much like damn

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:50.119
<v Speaker 2>climate change, the hottest year right now is going to

0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:52.560
<v Speaker 2>be the hottest year ever because it's just getting hotter

0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:57.359
<v Speaker 2>and hotter the defenses, I'm sorry, scoring is going to

0:24:57.400 --> 0:25:01.560
<v Speaker 2>continue to go up until we reach something of an

0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:06.600
<v Speaker 2>equilibrium when it comes to the diminishing returns on threes

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:10.240
<v Speaker 2>and when it comes to teams kind of figured defensively

0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:12.879
<v Speaker 2>figuring out a counter to the modern offense, because the

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:14.719
<v Speaker 2>modern offense is way ahead?

0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:16.520
<v Speaker 4>What oh?

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 3>You just what? Too much? What do you mean I'm

0:25:19.560 --> 0:25:23.160
<v Speaker 3>talking too much? You lost me once again?

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:30.359
<v Speaker 2>All Right, that might have been a little convoluted, But

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:34.480
<v Speaker 2>the point I'm making is teams are taking shots that

0:25:34.520 --> 0:25:37.639
<v Speaker 2>are worth more than more of those shots than they

0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:40.720
<v Speaker 2>ever have before. Teams are smarter than they ever have

0:25:40.760 --> 0:25:43.200
<v Speaker 2>been before as far as taking the most efficient shots,

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 2>and we have the most talent, rich pool of players

0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:49.719
<v Speaker 2>to draw from. All of that has led to an

0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:50.520
<v Speaker 2>increase in office.

0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:53.040
<v Speaker 4>Right when somebody says I can't understand, explain that to me.

0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:55.040
<v Speaker 4>You can't give them too much because they just told

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:56.119
<v Speaker 4>you they don't understand.

0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:58.159
<v Speaker 3>So I means you got to give them a little bit.

0:25:58.400 --> 0:25:58.520
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:00.879
<v Speaker 3>What I'm saying was that the point was that little

0:26:00.920 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 3>explanation better.

0:26:01.920 --> 0:26:04.400
<v Speaker 2>That was better? All right, appreciate that. Thank you, damn food,

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:07.919
<v Speaker 2>that's why you're here. What'd you say for you?

0:26:08.119 --> 0:26:08.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh, now, just full of roasting me? What do you so?

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:15.639

0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:19.600

<v Speaker 2>thirty seven, my wonderful wife Danielle filling in for my

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:14.440
<v Speaker 2>wonderful son, Demons.

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:16.160

0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:24.600
<v Speaker 2>No, No, I'm just the host.

0:27:26.000 --> 0:27:27.200
<v Speaker 3>What's Right with Nick? Right?

0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I mean my name's on the show. Yeah,

0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 2>that is true.

0:27:30.560 --> 0:27:30.760
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Danielle was adamant. Danielle behind the scenes is kind of

0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:36.399
<v Speaker 2>my biggest advocate, even though in front of the camera

0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:38.320
<v Speaker 2>sometimes she seems to just want to crush me.

0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:39.719
<v Speaker 3>Uh that.

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:44.280
<v Speaker 2>When we were gonna start this podcast for Fox, Danielle

0:27:44.359 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 2>was adamant that it has to be called What's Right

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:51.440
<v Speaker 2>because that's what the show my radio show in college,

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City and Houston, and even on Mad Dog Sports Radio.

0:27:57.480 --> 0:27:59.760
<v Speaker 2>I guess in Houston it wasn't called what's Right, because

0:27:59.800 --> 0:28:02.360
<v Speaker 2>it was because I had a coast because with John

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Lopez called in the Loop. But then the national show

0:28:04.880 --> 0:28:07.159
<v Speaker 2>I did on the weekends was called What's Right, and

0:28:07.200 --> 0:28:09.840
<v Speaker 2>all of these have been called What's Right. So daniel

0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:13.119
<v Speaker 2>was an adamant that I keep the name and maybe, you know,

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:16.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe one day it'll be what's right with Nick Wright

0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:17.600
<v Speaker 2>and family?

0:28:18.320 --> 0:28:19.800
<v Speaker 3>Or what's right with the rights.

0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:22.880
<v Speaker 2>What's right with the rights? Oh, that would work. But

0:28:23.080 --> 0:28:26.960
<v Speaker 2>my regular you know, Demons, was so damn attached to

0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:28.120
<v Speaker 2>that bird last name.

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:31.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean, who wouldn't be I dump my middle name

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:32.200
<v Speaker 3>for it.

0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:35.679
<v Speaker 2>That's true, That is true. When Danielle and I got married, Uh,

0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Danielle took my last name, but then just moved her

0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:41.280
<v Speaker 2>maiden name, which is bird, just demand's last name to

0:28:41.360 --> 0:28:43.640
<v Speaker 2>the middle. But yeah, no, it's it's a it's a

0:28:43.640 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 2>good though. Yeah, I know, but it doesn't. He doesn't.

0:28:47.480 --> 0:28:50.240
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't doesn't quite have you know, it doesn't have

0:28:50.320 --> 0:28:53.080
<v Speaker 2>the with the I think with right and family, with

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:54.800
<v Speaker 2>right and friends. I'm not sure we can figure it out.

0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, that sounds kind of lame.

0:28:56.360 --> 0:28:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, let's get to the show. What are

0:28:58.120 --> 0:28:58.760
<v Speaker 2>we doing here?

0:28:59.600 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, your part.

0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 4>Yesterday when you should have been helping me pack for

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:08.520
<v Speaker 4>our trip. Yeah, you came up with a fake basketball game?

0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah I did.

0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:12.240
<v Speaker 3>Who's your dumb fake basketball game?

0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay? So the World Baseball Classic was a huge success,

0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:21.040
<v Speaker 2>and it was because the players were invested. So I said,

0:29:21.240 --> 0:29:25.960
<v Speaker 2>how can we recreate this on other levels? And the

0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:29.240
<v Speaker 2>NBA All Star Game was a travesty this year because

0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:32.280
<v Speaker 2>none of the players cared. So here was the idea.

0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Tell me before I even show it to you if

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:36.800
<v Speaker 2>you like this idea. The NBA All Star Game, it's

0:29:36.880 --> 0:29:39.120
<v Speaker 2>just like the best thirty players you know in the

0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:41.320
<v Speaker 2>East versus West it used to be, and now they

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:46.920
<v Speaker 2>pick sides. The US the best players, American born players

0:29:47.320 --> 0:29:50.280
<v Speaker 2>on one team for the All Star Game against the

0:29:50.320 --> 0:29:54.880
<v Speaker 2>best international players, the best foreign born players. I thought

0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:58.880
<v Speaker 2>that would raise the stakes a bit as far as

0:29:58.920 --> 0:30:01.800
<v Speaker 2>guys having pride, caring about it before I show you

0:30:01.840 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 2>the rosters. Do you think that would work?

0:30:04.160 --> 0:30:06.000
<v Speaker 3>No? Why, I just don't like it.

0:30:06.160 --> 0:30:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Why, I mean, we're all one just I understand. But

0:30:09.720 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 2>the World Baseball Classic, it was country. It's like the

0:30:12.320 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Olympics if you.

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:16.520
<v Speaker 4>Play for a bunch of people from one country. When

0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 4>it comes to the other countries.

0:30:18.080 --> 0:30:20.600
<v Speaker 2>For basketball, right, that's why you have to do international.

0:30:20.920 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 3>That's not fair.

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:23.160
<v Speaker 4>All the US get to be together and then there's

0:30:23.200 --> 0:30:25.040
<v Speaker 4>all these different guys from different countries over here.

0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:25.920
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't make any sense.

0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:27.600
<v Speaker 2>It makes a lot of sense.

0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, whatever you say.

0:30:29.080 --> 0:30:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, well let me show it to you. Okay, guy,

0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean we are gonna discuss this here. I think

0:30:34.520 --> 0:30:36.160
<v Speaker 2>we can show it to you. If not, I can

0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:40.000
<v Speaker 2>just tell everybody what the teams looked like. Uh so,

0:30:40.160 --> 0:30:43.840
<v Speaker 2>here's what here. Here is where what I had it at.

0:30:43.920 --> 0:30:46.360
<v Speaker 2>I guess we don't have the graphic for you. My apologies,

0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:50.480
<v Speaker 2>but I can so Team USA would be here's their

0:30:50.520 --> 0:31:01.840
<v Speaker 2>twelve Lebron, Steph Durant, Tatum, Jah, Anthony Davis, Donovan, Mitchell,

0:31:02.520 --> 0:31:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Devin Booker, James Harden, Kawhi Leonard and Diaron Fox.

0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:07.720
<v Speaker 3>They already won.

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen to the other side. The other side has

0:31:11.040 --> 0:31:18.719
<v Speaker 2>Giannis Embiid, Luca Jokic, Sga Shay, the guy we were

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 2>talking about earlier. The world starting five is better than

0:31:23.880 --> 0:31:28.760
<v Speaker 2>the US's starting five. Giannis Embiid, Luca Jokic, and Shay

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:34.400
<v Speaker 2>versus Lebron Steph, Katie Tatum, and Jah. They have a

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 2>better starting five where they get hurt as their depth.

0:31:37.280 --> 0:31:40.600
<v Speaker 2>After Shay, you have DeMont Sabonis who was born in

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:45.440
<v Speaker 2>the States but as Lithuanian citizenship through his dad, Pascal Siakam,

0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Laurie Markinen, Jamal Murray og Annoby, Franz Wagner, and Chris Stabs.

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:57.719
<v Speaker 2>The US has more depth. But if we were right now,

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:02.920
<v Speaker 2>the top four in MVP candidates for this year are

0:32:03.080 --> 0:32:06.280
<v Speaker 2>probably all on the World team. Right now, I think

0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:11.680
<v Speaker 2>the MVP voting would go Embiid, Yannis Jokic, Luka and

0:32:11.840 --> 0:32:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Shay might get some MVP votes, So I think the

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:19.920
<v Speaker 2>guys would have enough pride and they would play harder.

0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:21.560
<v Speaker 2>The thing with the All Star Game is you need

0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:23.640
<v Speaker 2>them to play harder. So let me ask you this.

0:32:23.720 --> 0:32:25.280
<v Speaker 2>If you don't like my idea, I'm putting you on

0:32:25.320 --> 0:32:27.480
<v Speaker 2>the spot here. If you don't mind, how would you

0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:30.800
<v Speaker 2>make the NBA All Star Game? How would you incentivize

0:32:31.440 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 2>the guys to care about an exhibition game that doesn't

0:32:34.080 --> 0:32:36.800
<v Speaker 2>count for the standings or a championship so they play

0:32:36.840 --> 0:32:38.520
<v Speaker 2>hard the way they did once upon a time.

0:32:38.520 --> 0:32:40.600
<v Speaker 3>What do they get paid you to play. They don't.

0:32:40.680 --> 0:32:45.080
<v Speaker 4>Okay, it's as simple as money, simple as money.

0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:46.239
<v Speaker 2>How much are you gonna pay them?

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:46.959
<v Speaker 3>Though, I don't know.

0:32:47.400 --> 0:32:49.800
<v Speaker 4>Just pay them money where it's worth it, where I'm

0:32:49.800 --> 0:32:51.320
<v Speaker 4>gonna play like I'm supposed to play.

0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:54.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot of money. There's a lot of money.

0:32:54.880 --> 0:32:56.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I think you sell the tickets more, you do

0:32:56.480 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 3>everything more. You know what I'm saying. You figure out

0:32:58.080 --> 0:32:59.400
<v Speaker 3>a way to pay the players.

0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:01.920
<v Speaker 2>All right. Daniel's idea is pay the players more. I

0:33:02.800 --> 0:33:04.520
<v Speaker 2>like my idea us.

0:33:04.400 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 3>Versus the world. Of course you do?

0:33:06.240 --> 0:33:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, well, yeah, I mean it's my of course I'm

0:33:09.000 --> 0:33:10.520
<v Speaker 2>gonna like it. All right. What are we doing next?

0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh? New game? Yeah? Nick? Nick fix?

0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:33:17.080 --> 0:33:20.480
<v Speaker 4>You get three moves per team. Okay, we've got five

0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:22.720
<v Speaker 4>teams here. We're starting with the Panthers.

0:33:22.600 --> 0:33:29.000
<v Speaker 2>All right. So how would I fix the Carolina Panthers. Well,

0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:33.160
<v Speaker 2>they put themselves in a brutal spot. The first thing

0:33:33.240 --> 0:33:36.800
<v Speaker 2>I would do, if I could, is undo the trade

0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:40.760
<v Speaker 2>I just did. But they can't do that. Okay, So

0:33:40.880 --> 0:33:44.400
<v Speaker 2>since they can't undo the trade they just did, which

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:51.040
<v Speaker 2>they traded, they treated this year's draft like Caleb Williams

0:33:51.040 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 2>is in it, like I can't miss gotta have number

0:33:52.960 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 2>one quarterbacks there. That's not the case. But because of that,

0:33:58.120 --> 0:34:00.920
<v Speaker 2>you gotta deal with where you're at. So the first

0:34:00.960 --> 0:34:08.200
<v Speaker 2>thing I would do is I would draft CJ. Stroud.

0:34:09.320 --> 0:34:13.360
<v Speaker 2>That's the first thing I would do because Bryce Young's

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:20.000
<v Speaker 2>too small. Anthony Richardson maybe has the highest ceiling, but

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:23.000
<v Speaker 2>they want a guy who can play immediately because they

0:34:23.000 --> 0:34:26.080
<v Speaker 2>don't have their pick next year. The next thing that

0:34:26.280 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 2>I would do if I were them after drafting CJ.

0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:38.239
<v Speaker 2>Stroud is this one's tough because you gotta somehow recoup

0:34:40.040 --> 0:34:45.799
<v Speaker 2>offensively the loss of DJ Moore to help CJ. Stroud out.

0:34:46.000 --> 0:34:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I would call, yeah, what I'm thinking, I'm trying to

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:58.120
<v Speaker 2>do this right. I would call Tampa about Mike Evans

0:34:58.600 --> 0:35:01.480
<v Speaker 2>and see and I I'd be hesitant to lay out

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:05.440
<v Speaker 2>more draft capital, but I want you have no incentive

0:35:05.480 --> 0:35:08.120
<v Speaker 2>to be bad next year. I want to give my

0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:13.319
<v Speaker 2>team a chance to or CJ. Stroud the best chance

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:16.759
<v Speaker 2>to be good immediately. I need a receiver. I'd see

0:35:16.760 --> 0:35:18.880
<v Speaker 2>if I can give up a fourth round pick for

0:35:18.960 --> 0:35:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Mike Evans. And the last thing that I would do

0:35:23.160 --> 0:35:28.279
<v Speaker 2>if I were the Carolina Panthers, gosh darn it is

0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:35.000
<v Speaker 2>in this year's draft. I would try to trade back

0:35:35.160 --> 0:35:38.759
<v Speaker 2>as much as I can to recoup some picks. This

0:35:38.920 --> 0:35:41.359
<v Speaker 2>is a tough one to fix because I think they

0:35:41.400 --> 0:35:45.000
<v Speaker 2>made a big mistake laying out all, laying out all

0:35:45.000 --> 0:35:47.879
<v Speaker 2>that draft capital move from nine to one. But that

0:35:48.040 --> 0:35:49.719
<v Speaker 2>is that's what I would do if I were them.

0:35:49.719 --> 0:35:51.080
<v Speaker 2>All Right, what's next, Danielle?

0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:51.880
<v Speaker 3>The Cowboys.

0:35:52.960 --> 0:35:57.240
<v Speaker 2>The Cowboys I don't think need a ton of fixing.

0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I like their addition of Brandon Cooks. I like what

0:36:02.719 --> 0:36:07.759
<v Speaker 2>they have done obviously defensively, and I understand that this

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:11.160
<v Speaker 2>is probably gonna be an unpopular thing. But you can't

0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:14.719
<v Speaker 2>let the sunk cost fallacy kill you. You can't be like, ah,

0:36:14.760 --> 0:36:17.120
<v Speaker 2>we made a mistake on Zeke, we paid Zeke. What

0:36:17.200 --> 0:36:17.560
<v Speaker 2>do we do?

0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:17.960
<v Speaker 5>Now?

0:36:18.160 --> 0:36:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Here's what I would do if I were the Dallas Cowboys.

0:36:21.800 --> 0:36:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I would draft b Jon Robinson in the first round,

0:36:26.160 --> 0:36:29.000
<v Speaker 2>the running back out of Tech, out of Texas. I

0:36:29.040 --> 0:36:32.600
<v Speaker 2>would ask Dak to go back to what he does best,

0:36:33.480 --> 0:36:36.919
<v Speaker 2>which is be an over as Brusard says a lot,

0:36:36.960 --> 0:36:40.640
<v Speaker 2>and he's right, be an overqualified game manager. So I'd

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:45.880
<v Speaker 2>scale back the offense. I'd draft Bjon Robinson and on

0:36:46.000 --> 0:36:50.320
<v Speaker 2>the defensive side of the ball. I would tell Micah

0:36:50.360 --> 0:36:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Parsons that he is so. Step one is draft of

0:36:54.600 --> 0:36:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Jean Robinson. Step two is get Dak Prescott back to

0:36:59.760 --> 0:37:04.000
<v Speaker 2>game manager Dak Prescott, and step three is I understand

0:37:04.000 --> 0:37:06.839
<v Speaker 2>Michah Parsons can do a little bit of everything, and

0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:10.480
<v Speaker 2>that's what makes him so great. Micah Parsons is a

0:37:10.880 --> 0:37:14.080
<v Speaker 2>is a permanent pass rusher. Doesn't mean we're taking him

0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:16.920
<v Speaker 2>off the field of non pass rushing situations, but this

0:37:17.040 --> 0:37:22.680
<v Speaker 2>whole have Micah sometimes drop into coverage. Micah Parsons has

0:37:22.719 --> 0:37:27.440
<v Speaker 2>the ability to be the most dominant edge rusher in football.

0:37:27.960 --> 0:37:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Let him be that and let him try to tee

0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:33.759
<v Speaker 2>off on quarterbacks. That's what I would do. Whire the

0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Dallas Cowboys. The real thing I would have done is

0:37:36.239 --> 0:37:39.080
<v Speaker 2>fire Mike McCarthy, but they're not gonna do that before

0:37:39.160 --> 0:37:41.120
<v Speaker 2>the year. They had their opportunity, and so they move

0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:42.680
<v Speaker 2>on from Kellen Moore.

0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:44.719
<v Speaker 3>Next the Commanders.

0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, this one's simple that I would sign Lamar Jackson

0:37:50.600 --> 0:37:53.960
<v Speaker 2>to an offersheet immediately. I mean that one. They have

0:37:54.040 --> 0:37:59.560
<v Speaker 2>the sixteenth pick this year, I would wait until after

0:37:59.600 --> 0:38:04.560
<v Speaker 2>the draft. In the draft, I would if he's there

0:38:05.320 --> 0:38:10.480
<v Speaker 2>I would draft Quintin Johnston, the kid from TCU. If

0:38:10.480 --> 0:38:15.840
<v Speaker 2>he's not there, Jackson, Smith and Jigba would be my

0:38:15.960 --> 0:38:19.720
<v Speaker 2>draft pick as I draft a top flight wide receiver.

0:38:20.360 --> 0:38:22.440
<v Speaker 2>That's I guess step one, but we can leave it

0:38:22.480 --> 0:38:26.319
<v Speaker 2>at step two. I would sign Lamar Jackson, giving up

0:38:26.360 --> 0:38:29.879
<v Speaker 2>my two future first round picks, and I would use

0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:33.239
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the draft that I can on. I

0:38:33.280 --> 0:38:35.600
<v Speaker 2>would try to find It's not a great, not gonna

0:38:35.600 --> 0:38:37.399
<v Speaker 2>mean a great position to do this, but I would

0:38:37.440 --> 0:38:40.760
<v Speaker 2>try to find a legitimate tackle, and I would believe

0:38:40.840 --> 0:38:43.520
<v Speaker 2>that Chase Young's gonna bounce back, and I would try

0:38:43.520 --> 0:38:45.600
<v Speaker 2>to go win the NFC East with arguably the best

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:49.520
<v Speaker 2>quarterback in the NFC and Lamar. The Commanders are in

0:38:49.560 --> 0:38:52.960
<v Speaker 2>a weird spot because they're selling their team, but signing Lamar,

0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:56.040
<v Speaker 2>drafting a receiver, using the rest of the draft to

0:38:56.080 --> 0:38:59.359
<v Speaker 2>supplement your offensive line, your secondary, that's what I would do.

0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:02.920
<v Speaker 2>That to me is the easiest, most obvious fix.

0:39:03.080 --> 0:39:04.600
<v Speaker 3>Next the Ravens.

0:39:05.440 --> 0:39:09.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, this is assuming they lose Lamar. So assuming

0:39:09.840 --> 0:39:14.839
<v Speaker 2>if you are the Ravens, assuming you lose Lamar, the

0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:19.359
<v Speaker 2>first thing I would do is call San Francisco and

0:39:19.560 --> 0:39:24.000
<v Speaker 2>see if they have soured on Trey Lance. Trey Lance,

0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:27.000
<v Speaker 2>if they want to roll with brock Purty, they want

0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:30.080
<v Speaker 2>to cut their losses there, I would call San Francisco

0:39:30.239 --> 0:39:32.319
<v Speaker 2>about Trey Lance. That's the first thing I would do.

0:39:32.800 --> 0:39:36.600
<v Speaker 2>The second thing I would do with my increased draft

0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:40.320
<v Speaker 2>capital is trade, because you're getting draft picks for because

0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:43.920
<v Speaker 2>you're letting Lamar go. Trade for DeAndre Hopkins. You can

0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:46.120
<v Speaker 2>get him for your second round pick, and now you

0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:48.919
<v Speaker 2>have extra picks. And the last thing that I would

0:39:48.960 --> 0:39:54.799
<v Speaker 2>do if I were Baltimore is really just hope and

0:39:54.840 --> 0:39:58.480
<v Speaker 2>pray the Steelers stick with Kenny Pickett, because if they do,

0:39:59.120 --> 0:40:02.279
<v Speaker 2>they are going to be, oh, you know what, I

0:40:02.400 --> 0:40:06.759
<v Speaker 2>actually I don't. I'm yeah. Just hope and pray the

0:40:06.760 --> 0:40:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Steeler stick with Kenny Pickett. That's what I would do.

0:40:09.600 --> 0:40:11.000
<v Speaker 2>That's what I would do for the Ravens.

0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Last one, Danielle the Bills.

0:40:15.360 --> 0:40:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Bills are in a weird spot where they've got to

0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:23.960
<v Speaker 2>decide are we going to go further all in on

0:40:24.040 --> 0:40:27.720
<v Speaker 2>this moment or are we gonna take a momentary step back.

0:40:28.520 --> 0:40:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they can afford to take a momentary

0:40:32.520 --> 0:40:37.480
<v Speaker 2>step back. They gave von Miller all that money. If

0:40:37.520 --> 0:40:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I were the Bills, I would sign Frank Clark, great chief,

0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:45.560
<v Speaker 2>two time Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs. Give Frank

0:40:45.600 --> 0:40:47.560
<v Speaker 2>all the credit in the world, but he's gone now.

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:51.040
<v Speaker 2>He has not been great in the regular season. He

0:40:51.160 --> 0:40:55.080
<v Speaker 2>absolutely has been dominant in the postseason. The first thing

0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I would do is sign Frank Clark. They are another

0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:03.480
<v Speaker 2>team that if he's available. If the Cowboys don't draft him,

0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:06.759
<v Speaker 2>I fire them. I would draft b Gen Robinson so

0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:10.800
<v Speaker 2>you can have a legitimate pass rush, and I would

0:41:11.360 --> 0:41:15.279
<v Speaker 2>show Josh Allen. I would make a super cut so

0:41:15.320 --> 0:41:18.239
<v Speaker 2>step would be draft b Jehen Robinson, and then I

0:41:18.280 --> 0:41:23.279
<v Speaker 2>would make a supercut of Josh Allen's most ridiculous mistakes

0:41:23.280 --> 0:41:27.520
<v Speaker 2>from last last year and make him watch them every day.

0:41:28.000 --> 0:41:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Be like, Buddy, we know you have a rocket arm.

0:41:31.120 --> 0:41:35.160
<v Speaker 2>You've got to you've got to reel it into a

0:41:35.160 --> 0:41:38.440
<v Speaker 2>degree because your mistakes killed us. He doesn't have to

0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:41.560
<v Speaker 2>be a game manager. He's too talented for that. But

0:41:41.680 --> 0:41:44.960
<v Speaker 2>you can't have him being as reckless as he was

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:50.520
<v Speaker 2>last year. And you've got to You've got to real

0:41:50.840 --> 0:41:54.799
<v Speaker 2>and the I tell Ken Dorsey, we can't have our

0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:56.760
<v Speaker 2>This is one of the reasons draft of Jehen Robinson.

0:41:57.080 --> 0:42:00.000
<v Speaker 2>You can't have our running game just be putting our

0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:04.520
<v Speaker 2>under back in jeopardy time after time after time. He's

0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:06.919
<v Speaker 2>got to reel back the running a bit and reel

0:42:06.960 --> 0:42:09.759
<v Speaker 2>end the mistakes a bit. All right, dam poop, you

0:42:09.800 --> 0:42:11.840
<v Speaker 2>don't really love football and that was a very football

0:42:11.880 --> 0:42:14.799
<v Speaker 2>heavy segment. Yeah, so I would like to know what

0:42:14.880 --> 0:42:21.239
<v Speaker 2>would you like to fix nonsports world. Oh you had

0:42:21.239 --> 0:42:22.799
<v Speaker 2>an idea early communication?

0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:26.240
<v Speaker 4>Okay, explain that how you Communication has gotten awful lot.

0:42:26.400 --> 0:42:30.440
<v Speaker 4>I think the text messaging and the dating online and

0:42:30.520 --> 0:42:33.280
<v Speaker 4>all that stuff is messed up a lot of the world.

0:42:33.320 --> 0:42:37.480
<v Speaker 4>I think people aren't actually having conversations to actually figure

0:42:37.520 --> 0:42:41.319
<v Speaker 4>out what somebody really means when they're saying something, or

0:42:41.400 --> 0:42:44.359
<v Speaker 4>even if you actually like this person, because you can

0:42:44.640 --> 0:42:46.920
<v Speaker 4>you can fake type shit all day, act like you're.

0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Somebody that you're not. My bad I said, that's okay, But.

0:42:50.480 --> 0:42:52.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think communication is really bad right now. I

0:42:52.800 --> 0:42:55.680
<v Speaker 4>think the pandemic also made it worse and we need

0:42:55.719 --> 0:42:55.960
<v Speaker 4>to go.

0:42:55.960 --> 0:42:56.440
<v Speaker 3>Back to it.

0:42:56.880 --> 0:42:59.960
<v Speaker 2>So when you say so, there's the dating part of it,

0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:03.480
<v Speaker 2>then there's the text messaging part of it. You think

0:43:03.560 --> 0:43:08.880
<v Speaker 2>that there should be nothing serious for something that takes

0:43:09.000 --> 0:43:13.120
<v Speaker 2>more than one screen of words. Should ever be communicated

0:43:13.200 --> 0:43:14.440
<v Speaker 2>be a text exactly.

0:43:14.600 --> 0:43:17.239
<v Speaker 4>It's like if you text somebody and say, hey, can

0:43:17.280 --> 0:43:20.200
<v Speaker 4>we have a conversation and somebody you know, takes a

0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:22.719
<v Speaker 4>further about what you say a little bit, but we're

0:43:22.719 --> 0:43:24.640
<v Speaker 4>not going to text about it. It's like people are

0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:27.480
<v Speaker 4>now I like sending you whole books, like, bro, give

0:43:27.520 --> 0:43:31.239
<v Speaker 4>me a phone call about this. This is crazy. I'm

0:43:31.239 --> 0:43:33.280
<v Speaker 4>not going to respond. Can I text you in a minute?

0:43:33.600 --> 0:43:35.080
<v Speaker 4>I mean, can I call you in a minute. It's

0:43:35.160 --> 0:43:38.200
<v Speaker 4>just I think the communication SUTs. We need to start

0:43:38.239 --> 0:43:42.000
<v Speaker 4>talking to each other again. And it's also making these

0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:44.360
<v Speaker 4>men and women go on these dates and meeting up

0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:47.080
<v Speaker 4>with people that just doesn't mazing.

0:43:47.560 --> 0:43:49.359
<v Speaker 2>Aren't you glad we don't have to worry about that.

0:43:49.840 --> 0:43:51.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm very glad. I don't have to worry about that.

0:43:51.960 --> 0:43:52.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm so glad.

0:43:53.200 --> 0:43:56.240
<v Speaker 4>But I rather have if I was a single woman.

0:43:56.360 --> 0:43:59.520
<v Speaker 4>I want a man to approach me face to face.

0:44:00.239 --> 0:44:01.919
<v Speaker 2>I think guys are afraid to do that something.

0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:04.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that's the reason why men are getting weaker.

0:44:05.400 --> 0:44:07.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, okay, well now we might be men are

0:44:07.800 --> 0:44:09.280
<v Speaker 2>getting weaker over yeah.

0:44:09.440 --> 0:44:14.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh women, And you know, women are playing more of

0:44:14.160 --> 0:44:16.319
<v Speaker 4>a part of the man these days. It's just like

0:44:16.600 --> 0:44:19.640
<v Speaker 4>it's because we we're trying to do the things that

0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:21.480
<v Speaker 4>we want them to do when we shouldn't be doing

0:44:21.520 --> 0:44:21.920
<v Speaker 4>it at all.

0:44:22.280 --> 0:44:28.680

<v Speaker 2>I don't eat. The only thing I don't eat. The

0:46:00.480 --> 0:46:03.800
<v Speaker 2>And Demonzi's hat says avocado toast he found. So speaking

0:46:03.840 --> 0:46:08.480
<v Speaker 2>of that, Sam Dunderdale says, question for both of you,

0:46:08.520 --> 0:46:13.560
<v Speaker 2>what will you missed most? Miss most with Demonse moving

0:46:13.560 --> 0:46:14.640
<v Speaker 2>to La, Oh.

0:46:14.480 --> 0:46:17.640
<v Speaker 3>My gosh, so much. She has been my right hand man.

0:46:18.760 --> 0:46:22.200
<v Speaker 4>Nick is always busy, so Demanse has been helping me

0:46:22.280 --> 0:46:27.320
<v Speaker 4>if we need to pick the girls up or shoot babysit,

0:46:27.960 --> 0:46:31.440
<v Speaker 4>any of that. Like, Demanse has been the help of

0:46:31.480 --> 0:46:32.839
<v Speaker 4>the house, right.

0:46:33.239 --> 0:46:36.640
<v Speaker 2>I think he's been great, and he obviously helps with

0:46:36.680 --> 0:46:40.680
<v Speaker 2>this podcast. I'm gonna you know it's been because Demanse

0:46:41.520 --> 0:46:44.680
<v Speaker 2>when we first moved to New York, was in college

0:46:44.719 --> 0:46:48.200
<v Speaker 2>in California, Almornia, and then he came back, and then

0:46:48.280 --> 0:46:54.279
<v Speaker 2>he was in Houston and Kansas City for the first

0:46:54.600 --> 0:46:59.000
<v Speaker 2>for two years during the pandemic essentially, and then came

0:46:59.080 --> 0:47:02.320
<v Speaker 2>back a little over a year ago opened up the store.

0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:05.160
<v Speaker 2>It's been nice to have another guy in the house

0:47:06.360 --> 0:47:11.160
<v Speaker 2>and so and I really have really enjoyed watching football

0:47:11.200 --> 0:47:13.160
<v Speaker 2>with him because he and I that when he was

0:47:13.200 --> 0:47:15.520
<v Speaker 2>growing up, he didn't care about the NFL at all. No,

0:47:15.760 --> 0:47:18.400
<v Speaker 2>and so he and I never got to do that

0:47:18.440 --> 0:47:20.319
<v Speaker 2>when he was little. But this year it's been nice. Yeah,

0:47:20.320 --> 0:47:22.440
<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna miss him, but he's doing great. Uh,

0:47:22.880 --> 0:47:26.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm happy for him. Noah Rodriguez asked Danielle, what is

0:47:26.880 --> 0:47:30.799
<v Speaker 2>it like being married to someone who loves gambling and

0:47:30.840 --> 0:47:33.360
<v Speaker 2>what are some rules you guys have established in terms

0:47:33.360 --> 0:47:35.040
<v Speaker 2>of how much gambling is too much.

0:47:35.800 --> 0:47:39.120
<v Speaker 4>Well, at the beginning of our relationship, Nick gambled so

0:47:39.200 --> 0:47:40.920
<v Speaker 4>much that I would have to go to sleep in

0:47:40.960 --> 0:47:41.480
<v Speaker 4>the car.

0:47:43.760 --> 0:47:44.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean that's a fact.

0:47:45.960 --> 0:47:48.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, yes, I would. Danielle would come with me to

0:47:48.800 --> 0:47:51.160
<v Speaker 2>the casino where I would play poker.

0:47:51.200 --> 0:47:53.440
<v Speaker 4>Now I would play blackjack for like an hour, and

0:47:53.480 --> 0:47:55.880
<v Speaker 4>then you would not be done. I would wait around

0:47:55.960 --> 0:47:58.239
<v Speaker 4>for like an hour and he still wasn't done. And

0:47:58.280 --> 0:48:00.600
<v Speaker 4>then it's like the third hour comes around. Was like, okay,

0:48:00.600 --> 0:48:01.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to go in the car and wait for you,

0:48:01.960 --> 0:48:04.160
<v Speaker 4>and you're like, okay, go ahead. Then I noticed I've

0:48:04.160 --> 0:48:06.840
<v Speaker 4>been sleep in the car for two hours. Yeah, so yeah, okay,

0:48:07.040 --> 0:48:08.400
<v Speaker 4>it's not as bad as it used to be.

0:48:11.200 --> 0:48:13.120
<v Speaker 3>I think we kind of like have it under control now.

0:48:13.160 --> 0:48:14.640
<v Speaker 3>You don't do it like you used to.

0:48:15.560 --> 0:48:18.000
<v Speaker 2>During the pandemic. During the beginning of the pandemic, I

0:48:18.040 --> 0:48:20.680
<v Speaker 2>was playing a lot of online poker. Yeah, and that

0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:24.080
<v Speaker 2>irritated That irritated me. So I don't think tell me

0:48:24.080 --> 0:48:32.440
<v Speaker 2>if I'm wrong. You're less concerned. The dollars part of

0:48:32.480 --> 0:48:34.200
<v Speaker 2>it has never really been an issue.

0:48:34.640 --> 0:48:35.280
<v Speaker 3>It's time.

0:48:35.880 --> 0:48:40.160
<v Speaker 4>It's the time, Yeah, the dollars because you don't I don't.

0:48:40.320 --> 0:48:41.919
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't with you when you would let the stuff

0:48:41.920 --> 0:48:44.239
<v Speaker 4>get out of control. I don't think. I think as

0:48:44.280 --> 0:48:46.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, like you're kind of smart enough. I have

0:48:46.320 --> 0:48:48.560
<v Speaker 4>a family, you have to I can't lose all of

0:48:48.600 --> 0:48:49.120
<v Speaker 4>our money.

0:48:49.320 --> 0:48:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and the I don't when it's not football season.

0:48:54.400 --> 0:48:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't really bet sports.

0:48:55.640 --> 0:48:58.279
<v Speaker 4>And you don't have many hobbies and like do with it.

0:48:58.400 --> 0:49:00.640
<v Speaker 4>So I guess I'll let you have that. I mean,

0:49:01.400 --> 0:49:03.680
<v Speaker 4>I don't gamble, but I spend a lot of money

0:49:03.680 --> 0:49:04.280
<v Speaker 4>on clothes.

0:49:04.960 --> 0:49:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, and that is it is.

0:49:09.239 --> 0:49:11.520
<v Speaker 3>I spend a lot of money on and that is all.

0:49:11.680 --> 0:49:15.880
<v Speaker 2>But here's the thing, Danielle doesn't you know, she doesn't

0:49:15.920 --> 0:49:18.800
<v Speaker 2>give me a hard time about playing cards. She doesn't

0:49:19.120 --> 0:49:21.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, Like she said, it's my it's one of

0:49:21.719 --> 0:49:24.239
<v Speaker 2>my passion things. She supported me when I went out

0:49:24.280 --> 0:49:26.799
<v Speaker 2>to Vegas and gambled for a lot of money in

0:49:26.800 --> 0:49:30.160
<v Speaker 2>those televised poker things. But she does keep it right

0:49:30.200 --> 0:49:31.160
<v Speaker 2>in her back pocket.

0:49:31.760 --> 0:49:32.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:49:32.080 --> 0:49:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Whenever there is any instance of any it is a

0:49:37.680 --> 0:49:41.359
<v Speaker 2>card that is played, no pun intended. Anytime there's any

0:49:41.400 --> 0:49:46.000
<v Speaker 2>question like oh is that new? I I when did

0:49:46.000 --> 0:49:49.080
<v Speaker 2>you get that? There's it's always very close to the

0:49:49.120 --> 0:49:52.200
<v Speaker 2>tip of the tongue of oh, you spend five thousand

0:49:52.200 --> 0:49:54.600
<v Speaker 2>dollars on poker and I you give me a hard.

0:49:55.080 --> 0:49:57.640
<v Speaker 4>At least when I'm what I spend my money on

0:49:57.800 --> 0:49:58.720
<v Speaker 4>is on my back.

0:50:00.560 --> 0:50:05.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, Next question Capri Johnson for me, Nick, why

0:50:05.080 --> 0:50:07.440
<v Speaker 2>do you feel like you should be a voter for

0:50:07.600 --> 0:50:11.120
<v Speaker 2>NBA awards? Folks might feel like you're just gonna be

0:50:11.120 --> 0:50:13.719
<v Speaker 2>biased towards Lebron. I feel like I should be a

0:50:13.800 --> 0:50:16.960
<v Speaker 2>voter for the NBA awards because there are one hundred

0:50:17.040 --> 0:50:20.680
<v Speaker 2>plus people who have votes, and you cannot tell me.

0:50:21.000 --> 0:50:24.600
<v Speaker 2>You cannot convince me that there are one hundred plus

0:50:24.640 --> 0:50:28.560
<v Speaker 2>media members who watch more NBA than me, who know

0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:31.320
<v Speaker 2>more about the NBA than me, who care more about

0:50:31.320 --> 0:50:35.040
<v Speaker 2>the NBA than me. It's obviously not true. I am

0:50:35.160 --> 0:50:40.320
<v Speaker 2>obviously one of the one hundred most qualified people to

0:50:40.440 --> 0:50:47.880
<v Speaker 2>vote on these awards. And when it comes to contracts, incentives,

0:50:48.040 --> 0:50:52.360
<v Speaker 2>being eligible for supermacs, those things being tied to the awards,

0:50:52.840 --> 0:50:59.880
<v Speaker 2>you should have the most qualified, dedicated voters possible. Instead,

0:51:01.120 --> 0:51:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I think it's kind of outrageous when

0:51:05.239 --> 0:51:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I hear some of the new people who have gotten

0:51:07.880 --> 0:51:13.399
<v Speaker 2>votes that the NBA has not approached me about it.

0:51:13.600 --> 0:51:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't I don't know what more I could do

0:51:19.440 --> 0:51:24.840
<v Speaker 2>to demonstrate my knowledge and to demonstrate my passion for

0:51:24.880 --> 0:51:29.560
<v Speaker 2>the league. And so we joke about it on the

0:51:29.600 --> 0:51:33.799
<v Speaker 2>TV show. But it does, it does, yeah, and it

0:51:33.840 --> 0:51:39.560
<v Speaker 2>does bother me. I just I you should want the

0:51:39.600 --> 0:51:45.840
<v Speaker 2>most qualified electorate, if you will, possible, and I'm clearly

0:51:45.920 --> 0:51:48.959
<v Speaker 2>in that, And so why do I think I don't

0:51:48.960 --> 0:51:52.719
<v Speaker 2>have a vote. Well, I've never been a writer and

0:51:52.960 --> 0:51:56.440
<v Speaker 2>writer there's been a Historically it was just writers, but

0:51:56.480 --> 0:51:59.839
<v Speaker 2>now it's not just writers. Broadcasters have gotten votes.

0:52:00.120 --> 0:52:04.120
<v Speaker 4>Podcasters have gotten longer or what has a.

0:52:04.360 --> 0:52:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Lot of them? You know, like Bruceard's got a vote,

0:52:06.719 --> 0:52:07.600
<v Speaker 2>he deserves a vote.

0:52:07.640 --> 0:52:08.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but.

0:52:09.760 --> 0:52:13.040
<v Speaker 2>It's yeah, so it And would I be biased? I

0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:18.759
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't towards Lebron? I know I would. I would take

0:52:18.800 --> 0:52:21.600
<v Speaker 2>it very seriously. Now here's the benefit, speaking of the

0:52:21.600 --> 0:52:24.400
<v Speaker 2>gambling to not having a vote. Because I don't have

0:52:24.440 --> 0:52:27.520
<v Speaker 2>a vote, I can gamble on these awards. And when

0:52:27.600 --> 0:52:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Joel Embiid wins MVP, I'm gonna make a lot of

0:52:30.400 --> 0:52:34.480
<v Speaker 2>money because he was plus three point fifty ten days

0:52:34.480 --> 0:52:37.000
<v Speaker 2>ago and I saw this train coming down the tracks

0:52:37.000 --> 0:52:41.960
<v Speaker 2>and bet it. Then oh sorry, and that's the paper parking.

0:52:42.520 --> 0:52:47.760
<v Speaker 2>And now he's a minus money favorite, all right. Gabe

0:52:47.800 --> 0:52:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Alvarez says Danielle, when did you realize you fell in

0:52:52.480 --> 0:52:54.680
<v Speaker 2>love with Nick? For me, it was when he called

0:52:54.760 --> 0:52:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Lebron the goat? That's funny. Good job, Gabe.

0:52:59.880 --> 0:53:02.200
<v Speaker 4>I fell in love with Nick on our first date.

0:53:04.280 --> 0:53:05.800
<v Speaker 4>It took me a little bit over a year to

0:53:05.840 --> 0:53:08.359
<v Speaker 4>go on a date with Nick. And on our first date,

0:53:09.520 --> 0:53:12.160
<v Speaker 4>well the first date, it wasn't all in the same day.

0:53:13.440 --> 0:53:18.000
<v Speaker 4>Beginning was when you met my children. And then later

0:53:18.080 --> 0:53:22.360
<v Speaker 4>on that evening we went to his godfather's restaurant, Anthony's

0:53:22.360 --> 0:53:25.839
<v Speaker 4>in Kansas City, and when we got there, they were

0:53:25.880 --> 0:53:28.000
<v Speaker 4>treating us like gold, like he was like.

0:53:28.080 --> 0:53:30.520
<v Speaker 3>Part owner of the restaurant, and.

0:53:32.080 --> 0:53:35.680
<v Speaker 4>We sat in the corner where like nobody can see us,

0:53:35.680 --> 0:53:37.680
<v Speaker 4>so we kind of like had our own private area.

0:53:38.480 --> 0:53:42.480
<v Speaker 4>And it was kind of like the communication, like I

0:53:42.520 --> 0:53:44.600
<v Speaker 4>was saying, like when people are slacking on these days,

0:53:44.640 --> 0:53:48.719
<v Speaker 4>you basically wanted to know all about me, and we

0:53:48.800 --> 0:53:53.440
<v Speaker 4>like made out the whole night yea, and talked and

0:53:53.520 --> 0:53:57.600
<v Speaker 4>talked and talked for a few hours and then and

0:53:57.640 --> 0:54:03.759
<v Speaker 4>then you were very uh persistent on getting me after

0:54:03.840 --> 0:54:04.839
<v Speaker 4>then when I kind of.

0:54:05.040 --> 0:54:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what'd you do for the next four months after

0:54:07.080 --> 0:54:08.120
<v Speaker 2>that date where you fell inLove?

0:54:08.160 --> 0:54:09.359
<v Speaker 3>I didn't talk to you.

0:54:09.760 --> 0:54:10.880
<v Speaker 2>She ran for me.

0:54:11.200 --> 0:54:13.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. It was I'm like, like I told you guys

0:54:14.000 --> 0:54:14.399
<v Speaker 3>last yow.

0:54:14.480 --> 0:54:18.000
<v Speaker 4>Nick was my first white guy I dated, and he

0:54:18.040 --> 0:54:20.799
<v Speaker 4>was younger than me and he had a lot going

0:54:20.840 --> 0:54:21.760
<v Speaker 4>on for his future.

0:54:21.800 --> 0:54:26.040
<v Speaker 3>I didn't there was like so many flags that.

0:54:26.480 --> 0:54:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you had seen my you had seen my apartment.

0:54:31.920 --> 0:54:34.279
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I was disgusting. Was like, this definitely is

0:54:34.320 --> 0:54:39.279
<v Speaker 4>not gonna be my man. It's nasty. But yeah, I

0:54:39.280 --> 0:54:40.759
<v Speaker 4>fell in love with you on our first date.

0:54:42.280 --> 0:54:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, I think I probably fell in love with

0:54:44.880 --> 0:54:47.840
<v Speaker 2>you a little before that. All right, Danielle, who do

0:54:47.880 --> 0:54:49.359
<v Speaker 2>you think the NBA goat is.

0:54:51.120 --> 0:54:52.680
<v Speaker 3>Lebron? Oh?

0:54:52.920 --> 0:54:55.360
<v Speaker 2>What you know what? I just fell in love with

0:54:55.400 --> 0:54:58.839
<v Speaker 2>you all over it? All right? Last one, Danielle, does

0:54:58.960 --> 0:55:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Nick always have to have the last word?

0:55:03.360 --> 0:55:03.440
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:55:04.440 --> 0:55:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's surprising answer.

0:55:07.120 --> 0:55:09.239
<v Speaker 3>I think I do. I mean I think you do

0:55:09.360 --> 0:55:10.359
<v Speaker 3>with everybody else.

0:55:10.440 --> 0:55:13.040
<v Speaker 4>You try with me, but I don't allow it because

0:55:13.120 --> 0:55:14.399
<v Speaker 4>I have to had the last word.

0:55:15.480 --> 0:55:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Man. That is self awareness, and I appreciate that answer.

0:55:20.000 --> 0:55:21.200
<v Speaker 3>That's why you go to therapy.

0:55:21.880 --> 0:55:26.920
<v Speaker 4>Oh, this lady can I three sessions about to.

0:55:26.880 --> 0:55:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Say I'm proud of you and I'm happy for you. Well,

0:55:29.280 --> 0:55:31.960
<v Speaker 2>I was kind of, and I'm glad you're doing it.

0:55:32.520 --> 0:55:36.480
<v Speaker 2>But this lady has been to three therapy sessions and

0:55:36.520 --> 0:55:38.920
<v Speaker 2>now though, Well, that's why everyone should be in therapy.

0:55:38.960 --> 0:55:41.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, everybody should go. That's probably the other things I

0:55:41.400 --> 0:55:45.040
<v Speaker 4>would fix. People should go to therapy. It's very important.

0:55:45.360 --> 0:55:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I agree.

0:55:46.040 --> 0:55:49.279
<v Speaker 4>It opens your eyes about yourself and people need to

0:55:49.280 --> 0:55:51.520
<v Speaker 4>do that because people are stuck in their own I

0:55:51.600 --> 0:55:54.040
<v Speaker 4>know everything, I'm right zone and need to.

0:55:54.040 --> 0:55:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Get stuff together.

0:55:56.400 --> 0:55:57.040
