Speaker 2: All right, welcome in What's Right with Nick Wright? Episode
Speaker 2: two twenty eight. A ton to do today? We have
Speaker 2: two national champions crowned in college sports. The question of
Speaker 2: is this the year of the repeat champion, the cheat
Speaker 2: of at least in the men's side of sports. The
Speaker 2: Chiefs did it, Yu Khon just did it. What does
Speaker 2: that mean for the Nuggets? What does that mean for
Speaker 2: whoever the hell won the Stanley Cup Final last year?
Speaker 2: Nobody knows. You know, those are the types of things,
Speaker 2: you know, lost to the dustbin of history. I suppose
Speaker 2: we'll get into all of it, but first, what missed
Speaker 2: the cut? John Calipari leaves Kentucky for Arkansas, and then
Speaker 2: when he's asked about it, he says, I can't because
Speaker 2: I'm walking my dog when he was walking his dog
Speaker 2: in a stroller down a busy street. Little odd end
Speaker 2: of an ignominious end for Coach cal at Kentucky. The
Speaker 2: solar eclipse happened. I gotta say it was pretty cool
Speaker 2: people at first. Things first, well, I come outside and look,
Speaker 2: we got the glasses for you. I looked. It was
Speaker 2: pretty cool. I was like, hey, I'm glad I looked
Speaker 2: at that. And the Curb Your Enthusiasm series finale happened.
Speaker 2: I have not seen it yet. No spoilers, please. Curb
Speaker 2: Your Enthusiasm is a show demands Your mother and I
Speaker 2: have been watching together since the very beginning of our relationship.
Speaker 2: It's still going on and so we.
Speaker 3: Have to watch.
Speaker 2: You know. Well, the series finale is and it started
Speaker 2: before she and I were together. It's had twelve seasons,
Speaker 2: but they had like a five year hiatus between seasons.
Speaker 2: Once this is Larry David created Seinfeld, which was the
Speaker 2: most successful sitcom ever in the nineties. He then created
Speaker 2: Curb Your Enthusiasm, which I think might be the funniest
Speaker 2: sitcom ever. It went on for twelve seasons the series finale.
Speaker 2: But the point is this, I can't watch the series
Speaker 2: finale of a show I've been watching with your mother
Speaker 2: for our entire lives without her, but she falls asleep
Speaker 2: seven minutes into anything we try to watch together. We're
Speaker 2: trying to watch this damn eight episode show on Netflix
Speaker 2: called The Gentleman the Guy Ritchie Movie, so we're on
Speaker 2: Demon's I've been trying to complete episode seven and eight
Speaker 2: for two weeks. I'm just watching them four minutes at
Speaker 2: a time. Then I turn over, I turned she's falling asleep.
Speaker 2: I pause it. I turn on poker, and then she's like,
Speaker 2: where'd I fall asleep? I'm like, well, three minutes after
Speaker 2: you fell asleep on the previous one. So I don't
Speaker 2: know if I'm ever gonna be able to finish it, Curve.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give her a week. I'm gonna give her
Speaker 2: one week to sit down and watch curb with me
Speaker 2: because I gotta be able to see it. I gotta
Speaker 2: be able to see it, and I can't have people
Speaker 2: spoil the ending. Unfair.
Speaker 3: I'll say that Oh, you know what, that's fair point.
Speaker 2: We do have a wedding slash vow renewal happening on Saturday,
Speaker 2: so that's a good you know what. Touche all right, Toman, say,
Speaker 2: let's get to the basketball.
Speaker 3: Go right ahead, all right, let's start off with some
Speaker 3: college hoops.
Speaker 4: The University of South Carolina capped off their undefeated season
Speaker 4: on Sunday, and you gotten capped off back to back
Speaker 4: titles with another dominant performance over Purdue. Gonna start off
Speaker 4: with the men's side. Do you think Yukon is an
Speaker 4: all time great team?
Speaker 2: So this is tricky because they're the back to back champions.
Speaker 2: They beat everyone in both tournaments by more than a
Speaker 2: dozen points. They covered every game, they obviously won every game.
Speaker 2: Yesterday's game went the way a lot of Yukon games
Speaker 2: have gone, which is the other team feels like they
Speaker 2: have a chance for the first half and then Yukon
Speaker 2: just blitzes them in the second half and runs away
Speaker 2: with it. On the for Purdue, listen, I said on
Speaker 2: TV that I was rooting for and I was gonna
Speaker 2: go ahead and pick the upset, And I said, Zach Edy,
Speaker 2: I thought could have a thirty eight point double double
Speaker 2: is what I predicted. He had a thirty seven point
Speaker 2: double double and they got dominated. So the Edie did
Speaker 2: his thing. I don't think it was, despite the numbers,
Speaker 2: his best game, but I thought he played well. Yukon's
Speaker 2: just two deep and has too much and if you're perdue.
Speaker 2: I credit to Yukon for the game plan of We're
Speaker 2: gonna listen if Edie kills us, Edie kills us, we
Speaker 2: are not gonna double off Edie and leave the shooters open.
Speaker 2: A Purdue team that I'm gonna check real quick. But
Speaker 2: I think for the season, shot forty percent from three, uh,
Speaker 2: and I'll get it right in just a second. From
Speaker 2: the season, yep shot forty percent from three last night,
Speaker 2: made one three pointer one of seven from three. You
Speaker 2: have no chance of competing with or beating Yukon if
Speaker 2: you are not just lights out from three, and Yukon
Speaker 2: is so Here's where I struggle with the all time
Speaker 2: great team. There is so much variance in a single
Speaker 2: elimination tournament that this is almost never the case. But
Speaker 2: I feel like you could have run this tournament ten
Speaker 2: times and Yukon would have won it eight of them.
Speaker 2: Like that's how dominant of a team they were. That's
Speaker 2: how great they were. So in that regard versus their
Speaker 2: contemporary competition, yes, of course they're an all time great team.
Speaker 2: But in regards to how would this Yukon team stack
Speaker 2: up against the great teams of yester year college basketball,
Speaker 2: they would get annihilated. So because college basketball has just
Speaker 2: changed so much, because guys don't the best players are
Speaker 2: not there, they don't stay for long enough. You don't
Speaker 2: have multiple great pros. Even the last back to back
Speaker 2: national champion in college basketball, Florida. If you look at
Speaker 2: who they had on and those fifteen years ago, who
Speaker 2: that Florida team had on its six and seven teams,
Speaker 2: they had the following guys who were big time NBA players,
Speaker 2: Joe Kim, Noah, Torrian Green, Corey Brewer, and Al Horford.
Speaker 2: So you had a four of your starting five as
Speaker 2: and then they came back the next year, Demonse did
Speaker 2: it again and they added Maurice Spates off the bench,
Speaker 2: Chris Richard, who had a cup of coffee in the NBA.
Speaker 2: But when you've got you know, Horford, Brewer, Noah, and
Speaker 2: Torrian Green all in your starting five, like that is
Speaker 2: just a legendary team. You look at Yukon, the Yukon
Speaker 2: team that won it in ninety nine, let me pull
Speaker 2: up who was on that team, just to give you
Speaker 2: some context for it. So the ninety nine Yukon team
Speaker 2: had Rip Hamilton obviously, Khaleid Elamin and Jake Voshkel who
Speaker 2: again not great NBA players, but NBA players all over it.
Speaker 2: The the UNLV team, what UNLV team, what year won it?
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's ninety two or ninety three.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: But if you look at that UNLV team and you're like, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: how o's ninety Pardon me, who do they have? They
Speaker 2: had Stacy Augman, Greg Anthony and Larry Johnson. The Michigan
Speaker 2: team that didn't win the National Championship, the Jailen like
Speaker 2: the Fab five team demonse that Michigan team had. Let
Speaker 2: me tell you who they had. They had Jalen Rose,
Speaker 2: Juwan Howard, Jimmy King, and Chris Webber on it. So
Speaker 2: like how it is very difficult and I'm leaving someone out.
Speaker 2: Who am I leaving out? Uh? Oh? Ray Jackson didn't
Speaker 2: play in the league.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: So it's just very difficult to comp modern college basketball
Speaker 2: to previous college basketball. They had an unbelievable line Demanse
Speaker 2: and the U in at the beginning of the game,
Speaker 2: which was, this is the first national championship game that's
Speaker 2: a matchup between seven footers since nineteen eighty four. Those
Speaker 2: seven footers Demonse were or nineteen eighty four? Did I
Speaker 2: say seventy four? Nineteen eighty four? Those seven footers were
Speaker 2: Patrick Ewing and a chem Olajuan. Those two guys played
Speaker 2: each other in a national championship game. And so I'm
Speaker 2: not taking a thing away from Yukon nothing. And in
Speaker 2: modern college basketball, it is an all time legendary team.
Speaker 2: There is no argument about it. It is not a
Speaker 2: historic team. And now I want to talk about Edie
Speaker 2: and Purdue because Zach edy this tournament. I have been
Speaker 2: very skeptical of him as a pro because he's not
Speaker 2: going to be able to defend on the perimeter modern
Speaker 2: college basketball and what it demands of you as a
Speaker 2: big man. But here's what he did in the NCAA
Speaker 2: Tournament thirty and twenty one, Round one, twenty three and fourteen,
Speaker 2: Round two, twenty seven and fourteen, Round three, forty and
Speaker 2: sixteen to get to the final four. Twenty and twelve
Speaker 2: in the semifinal and then thirty seven and ten in
Speaker 2: the National Championship Game against a guy in the National
Speaker 2: Championship Game, a fellow seven footer, guy who's seven to two.
Speaker 2: If you can get him on a team demands like
Speaker 2: Miami that has a that has a rim protector who
Speaker 2: can guard on the perimeter in Bam, and he can
Speaker 2: had some all he can. You know, Bam can kind
Speaker 2: of extend the floor of business at the Gray Shoelner World.
Speaker 2: I understanding that. But and Edie can play down low.
Speaker 2: I think there's a place for him. And I know
Speaker 2: some people have said, what about on the Spurs just
Speaker 2: try to create like the craziest, longest team and Wimby's
Speaker 2: playing out on the perimeter, he's down low. So I
Speaker 2: think there's a place for him in the NBA, and
Speaker 2: I didn't think that before the tournament. I also think
Speaker 2: this tournament generated one of the worst sports takes of
Speaker 2: the year by frenemy of the show Draymond Green. When
Speaker 2: Draymond tweeted last night, job well done thirty five for Yukon.
Speaker 2: You did your job tonight. It was him that made
Speaker 2: Edie quit with nineteen minutes to go in the second half,
Speaker 2: there was a turnover and I saw Edie's body language
Speaker 2: walking back. He was done. Now rewatched the game from
Speaker 2: that point on hashtag free game. So for some context there,
Speaker 2: that number thirty five that Draymond is talking about is
Speaker 2: Stanley Johnson. Stanley Johnson last night played five minutes and
Speaker 2: had five fouls in those five minutes because he couldn't
Speaker 2: contain Edie because he's just not big enough. Ee last
Speaker 2: night was he played every second of the game until
Speaker 2: they took guys out at the very very end. He
Speaker 2: played thirty nine to forty minutes at seven foot four.
Speaker 2: Were there times he was exhausted, Sure, there were there
Speaker 2: times in the second half where he seemed a little discouraged,
Speaker 2: of course because Yukon was running away with it. But
Speaker 2: the idea that zach Edi quit in that basketball game
Speaker 2: is so absurd and such fastcyle re, and to me
Speaker 2: that is motivated reasoning, meaning Draymond was trying to do
Speaker 2: multiple things there. One, be like, here's the game within
Speaker 2: the game that you casuals aren't picking up on. Two
Speaker 2: give credit to a guy whose box score looked like
Speaker 2: trash to be like that guy actually had as much
Speaker 2: impact as the guy who had thirty seven and ten.
Speaker 2: Now you tell me who that type of player that
Speaker 2: like that credit would extrapolate to amongst other players, And
Speaker 2: you can see why. Maybe it was Draymond's take. I
Speaker 2: thought Edie should hang his head, should not hang his
Speaker 2: head at all, and it be very proud of how
Speaker 2: he played in this game and in this tournament. Now
Speaker 2: to the women's side and things demands said.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so the women's side, Caitlin Clark ends her college
Speaker 4: career with a strong case for the goat. Despite not
Speaker 4: winning a ring, she did carry a team of nobody's
Speaker 4: back to back to championships, or not to championships, but far.
Speaker 2: Into the championship game. Yeah, to the to the final
Speaker 2: in both games.
Speaker 4: That's got to sound pretty familiar to you with Lebron
Speaker 4: and Patrick Mahomes. Is that the reason why you like
Speaker 4: her so much?
Speaker 2: Well, I think that it's a Lebron question, which is
Speaker 2: like the seven or the eighteen Cavs, you lose in
Speaker 2: the finals, but you carry a team there. And I
Speaker 2: it's not why I like her so much, but I
Speaker 2: do think it is a unique way to look at
Speaker 2: like it just does Caitlin Clark have to have won
Speaker 2: a title in order to be the greatest woman's player
Speaker 2: of all time. So here's the comp I will give
Speaker 2: that the most decorated women's basketball player of all time
Speaker 2: is Brianna Stewart. Brianna Stewart played four years at Yukon.
Speaker 2: They won four NASH Championships. She won Player of the
Speaker 2: Year three times her final three years there, demanse they
Speaker 2: were one hundred and sixteen and one. All right, so
Speaker 2: how can anyone trump that? And the answer is on
Speaker 2: a base level, you can't. But then I give you
Speaker 2: this piece of information. The year after Brianna Stewart left Yukon,
Speaker 2: they went into the final four thirty six and oh
Speaker 2: lost by two points in overtime in the final four
Speaker 2: to finish the year thirty six and one without her.
Speaker 2: The year after that, they went into the final four
Speaker 2: thirty six and oh lost by four points in overtime
Speaker 2: in the final four to finish the year thirty six
Speaker 2: and one. So they were one hundred and sixteen and
Speaker 2: one in her final three years. They were seventy two
Speaker 2: and two in the next two years without her, and
Speaker 2: both of those losses were by a combined six points
Speaker 2: in overtime in the Final four, Which is not to
Speaker 2: say Brianna Stewart is not arguably the goat, but the
Speaker 2: context of the overwhelming Juggernauts juggernaut that that Yukon team
Speaker 2: had turned into. Right, and So I watched the women's
Speaker 2: national championship game and I asked myself this question, is
Speaker 2: there a single player on IOWA other than Caitlin Clark
Speaker 2: that would get a single minute of playing time for
Speaker 2: South Carolina. My answer to that question is no. South
Speaker 2: Carolina went nine deep, and if you were to stack
Speaker 2: up the ten best players in that you know on
Speaker 2: those two teams would be Caitlyn Clerk one and two
Speaker 2: through ten would be South Carolina game Cocks. You then add,
Speaker 2: there is then also this element of that I so last,
Speaker 2: so South Carolina and its last eighty one games has
Speaker 2: won or eighty two games, maybe eighty. I think it's
Speaker 2: eighty one games is eighty and one, right, with two
Speaker 2: national championships. The one loss is to Caitlin Clark and
Speaker 2: Iowa in the final four last year, when Caitlin dropped
Speaker 2: forty in a weird way, demonse, I think her beating
Speaker 2: South Carolina hurt her in the goat discussion because had
Speaker 2: she lost that game and then lost to them in
Speaker 2: the National Championship as opposed to beating them and then
Speaker 2: losing to LSU, I think people would be like, well,
Speaker 2: South Carolina is on an eighty two game winning streak,
Speaker 2: they've won three straight titles. No one was beating them.
Speaker 2: They're an overwhelming juggernaut. But because she here's kind of
Speaker 2: their invincibility and then lost in the next round, it
Speaker 2: damn it. I think some people will use that against her. Now,
Speaker 2: there is a give and take in everything. If she
Speaker 2: were on a better team, Demase, she probably wouldn't have
Speaker 2: the stats and the records that she has now if
Speaker 2: it was a more well rounded team. And so because
Speaker 2: of that, to me, and because there is no obvious, clearcut,
Speaker 2: undoubted goat of women's college basketball like there is in
Speaker 2: men's college basketball, with it being Luel Sender than Kareem I,
Speaker 2: because Cheryl Miller has obviously a super strong argument Tarazi
Speaker 2: is the best player I had ever seen before. Caitlyn
Speaker 2: Shamik will holds claw in the nineties, Brianna Stewart, all
Speaker 2: those people are Maya Moore, They're all in the room
Speaker 2: and Caitlin's in that room. I do ask this question
Speaker 2: in my lifetime, have I ever seen a women's college
Speaker 2: basketball player better than Caitlin Clark? And they answer that
Speaker 2: question is no, She's the best I've ever seen. And
Speaker 2: does that make her the goat? That's an argument for
Speaker 2: others to have. Now on the South Carolina side of things,
Speaker 2: do you want to say something demon say or can
Speaker 2: I go to South Carolina? No?
Speaker 3: No, you can go to South Carolina.
Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's a tricky debate. But
Speaker 4: uh but yeah, I don't you got it, you got.
Speaker 2: The the I mean, I think she's a I think dismissing.
Speaker 2: I think in pro sports, if you've never won a championship,
Speaker 2: I think it's disqualifying because you you have fifteen to
Speaker 2: twenty years to do it. In college sports, when you
Speaker 2: have four years and the teams can be so lopsided,
Speaker 2: I don't think it's disqualifying. Now to South Carolina, shout
Speaker 2: out to Don Staley man. Don Staley got there on
Speaker 2: O nine they were ten and eighteen or first year,
Speaker 2: won the first AT one or first SEC title. Five
Speaker 2: years later the year after that, made the final four
Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen, twenty seventeen, won our first championship. Twenty
Speaker 2: twenty was thirty two to one, and the pandemic hits
Speaker 2: probably robbed her of a championship. In twenty twenty two,
Speaker 2: won the title. In twenty twenty three, was undefeated going
Speaker 2: into the final four, lost a heartbreaker to Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 2: And in twenty twenty four undefeated, ran the table, unbelievable run,
Speaker 2: unbelievable depth, not one like last year when she had
Speaker 2: a Leah Boston the number one pick of the WNBA draft,
Speaker 2: not one, just like superstar player, head and shoulders above
Speaker 2: everybody else and found a way to do it. And
Speaker 2: I am, I am really really impressed by what she
Speaker 2: was able to do and by that team, and I
Speaker 2: do won. If there is going to be how much
Speaker 2: how many programs on the men's side of things are
Speaker 2: going to try to poach her, I think Kentucky should
Speaker 2: call her with coach kyl Leaving. I think she absolutely
Speaker 2: can coach basketball, men's or women's. And I think Kentucky
Speaker 2: should have a real conversation about whether or not they
Speaker 2: want to try to Bowler over with unbelievable money, which
Speaker 2: they could do, or she could stay at South Carolina.
Speaker 2: And as we've seen in the past, like you can
Speaker 2: go on a run in women's college basketball kind of
Speaker 2: unlike any other sport, like the Lady Valls, And it
Speaker 2: was the Lady Vall era when I was a kid.
Speaker 2: Then it was the Yukon Women's era, and then it
Speaker 2: was now it's South Carolina era. But the Lady Vols Demons,
Speaker 2: they won the title in eighty seven, eighty nine, ninety one,
Speaker 2: ninety six, ninety seven, ninety eight, and were the runner
Speaker 2: up in ninety five, two thousand oh three oh four, okay,
Speaker 2: and then by the way, they won two more and
Speaker 2: oh seven oh eight. Then Yukon took over in basically
Speaker 2: two thousand and Yukon won the title in two thousand two,
Speaker 2: three four o nine, twenty ten, twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen,
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen. That was Yukon's run, and now
Speaker 2: South Carolina seventeen. I would con nobody won the title
Speaker 2: in twenty They would have twenty two twenty four and
Speaker 2: were undefeated going into the fire four and twenty three.
Speaker 2: They can keep this thing rolling as long as Don
Speaker 2: Staley stays there, all right, let's move on next.
Speaker 4: So Dallas has won ten of their last eleven games.
Speaker 4: Seems like they're peaking at the right time, and it
Speaker 4: seems like they also ended Houston's season on Sunday on
Speaker 4: the back of Kyrie's forty eight points in double overtime.
Speaker 4: Kyrie and Lucas are proven to be the best one
Speaker 4: to two punch or one of the best one two
Speaker 4: punches in the NBA. Where would you rank them in
Speaker 4: the one two punches going into the playoffs?
Speaker 2: Listen, they're as dangerous as anybody, and whoever gets the
Speaker 2: one seed in the West is has reason to be
Speaker 2: scared of them. And that's not necessarily why you laughing,
Speaker 2: You think that's a Denver thing.
Speaker 4: No, No, I think I'm saying that's no, No, that's
Speaker 4: that's definitely that's fair. But I mean, I think if
Speaker 4: if Luca is seeing Denver in the first in the
Speaker 4: first round, in the second round.
Speaker 2: Because well, here's what I'm saying right now, we don't
Speaker 2: know who's gonna be the one seed in the West,
Speaker 2: because Minnesota and Denver are tiede in Oklahoma City is
Speaker 2: a game behind, all right, Dallas is going to be
Speaker 2: the four, the five seed and they're going to play
Speaker 2: the Clippers in round one, and Dallas is gonna rock
Speaker 2: the Clippers in round one. Okay, whoever is the one?
Speaker 2: I don't think you want to play Dallas right now.
Speaker 2: Luca is a legendary playoff performer. Already, everyone gives me
Speaker 2: a hard time about it, uh, but it's just the facts,
Speaker 2: Luca is. His career playoff numbers are as follows. Year
Speaker 2: one against the best Clippers team that ever existed, the
Speaker 2: Bubble Clippers team, his first playoffs ever, he has he
Speaker 2: averages thirty one, ten to nine. Year two in the
Speaker 2: playoffs against that same Clippers team, he averages thirty six,
Speaker 2: eight and ten. Again, those are two series with Kawhi
Speaker 2: and Paul George guarding him on basically every possession. Year three,
Speaker 2: going through Utah and then Phoenix and then losing to
Speaker 2: Golden State, he averages thirty two, ten and six. So
Speaker 2: for his career in the playoffs he's thirty three, nine
Speaker 2: and eight. He is a legend in the postseason. Kyrie,
Speaker 2: who obviously I've been critical of over the last few years,
Speaker 2: is having one of the best seasons of his career.
Speaker 2: Is doing everything we all have always asked of him
Speaker 2: keeping the nonsense to the side, being mostly available. He
Speaker 2: and Lucas chemistry is off the charts and just a dynamic,
Speaker 2: dynamic offense of force right now. This year, you're getting
Speaker 2: all of the good of Kyrie with none of the bad.
Speaker 2: He's twenty six percent or twenty six percent, twenty six
Speaker 2: five and five for the year on fifty forty one. Wow,
Speaker 2: he's all He's this close to a fifty to forty
Speaker 2: ninety season. He's forty nine point six for the year,
Speaker 2: So he's gonna just barely miss out on a fifty
Speaker 2: forty ninety year. And Dallas is super dangerous man. And
Speaker 2: for if you are Denver, Liz, Denver is the overwhelming
Speaker 2: favorite for a reason, and the one seed could be
Speaker 2: decided tomorrow night when you have Nuggets TEA Wolves in Denver.
Speaker 2: If Jamal Murray is not at one hundred percent, Denver
Speaker 2: can get gott in this postseason. With Jamal Murray, I
Speaker 2: don't know who's beating him. Yeah, I mean he's back now,
Speaker 2: but if he is, and I think they're being very
Speaker 2: cautious with in which they should be. But Dallas is
Speaker 2: a dangerous, dangerous team. And if if the Lakers, and
Speaker 2: we'll get to the Lakers in a minute. Can somehow
Speaker 2: move up to the seven line. My ideal bracket at
Speaker 2: this point is as follows. Denver one, OKC two, Minnesota three,
Speaker 2: Dallas Clippers four or five who cares five four four, five,
Speaker 2: doesn't matter my ideal realistic bracket, I should say Phoenix six,
Speaker 2: Pelicans slash Kings whomever, seven, Lakers eight, the other one whatever.
Speaker 2: The Lakers end up with OKC in round one, knock
Speaker 2: them off. The MAVs end up with Denver in round two.
Speaker 2: The MAVs beat Denver for the Lakers who can't beat Denver,
Speaker 2: and then we get a Luca Lebron Western Conference Finals.
Speaker 2: If the Lakers can get there. It's not a likely dream,
Speaker 2: but the dream is alive. The dream is alive of
Speaker 2: a Luca Lebron Western Conference Finals. Kyrie against Lebron, a
Speaker 2: the whole thing, ad playing some of the best basketball
Speaker 2: of his career. If you can stop getting hit in
Speaker 2: the face. That's Ron pulling for all right next.
Speaker 4: All right, So the Bucks have been on a terrible slide,
Speaker 4: terrible slide lately, losing to the Wizards, Grizzlies, and the Raptors.
Speaker 4: Most recently they made it four straight losing to the Knicks.
Speaker 4: So they're about to play my Celtics tonight, actually, and
Speaker 4: do you think this is a must win to boost
Speaker 4: morale and get back on track or is this a.
Speaker 2: So listen the Bucks. There is no defending how the
Speaker 2: Bucks have been playing what Doc's been saying. They look
Speaker 2: like as I understand, they haven't had Giannis and Dame
Speaker 2: for all these games. Where they did have them both
Speaker 2: for the Knicks game they got beat soundly. Anyway, at
Speaker 2: this point, I'm going full on Galaxy Brain on the Bucks,
Speaker 2: which is they want to drop out of the two seed.
Speaker 2: They want to be the three because they want to
Speaker 2: duck Philly in round one. That's a good Galaxy Brain.
Speaker 2: Appreciate that, guys. Philly. Right now it looks like it's
Speaker 2: going to be in the play in and going to
Speaker 2: win that first play in game and be the seven.
Speaker 2: Philly looks devastating right now. They just wont a great
Speaker 2: game without Maxie a great comeback. They embiids playing great,
Speaker 2: and so I think I think Milwaukee wants to fall
Speaker 2: to the three line. Get Indiana or the absolutely collapsing
Speaker 2: Calves in round one, regroup, and then see what's what
Speaker 2: in round two, playing either uh or playing probably Philadelphia
Speaker 2: in round two after Philadelphia has clipped the magic. That's
Speaker 2: what I'm rooting for. The Bucks were my pick to
Speaker 2: win the championship. It is not looking good. I can't
Speaker 2: even really justify it right now. I'm just gonna believe
Speaker 2: that Giannis is gonna play better and that Doc's gonna
Speaker 2: coach better. But right now it doesn't.
Speaker 3: Do's gonna coach better.
Speaker 4: It's Lebron, Lebron versus Steph part of millions coming up tonight.
Speaker 4: The Lakers are rolling in a Winko helped them win
Speaker 4: climb into the seven to eight playing game. But if
Speaker 4: they do stay in the nine seat, Lebron has a
Speaker 4: chance to beat Steph in an elimination game. Are you
Speaker 4: secretly hoping for that so you can add another line
Speaker 4: to your coat's legacy?
Speaker 2: No, listen, here's the deal. The Lakers need to move
Speaker 2: up a line. And the loss to the Timberwolves killed them,
Speaker 2: and despite it's their only loss in like a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks, but it still was just devastating and it
Speaker 2: says sucked like Lebron was out for the game because
Speaker 2: he wasn't he was sick. They were up after the
Speaker 2: first quarter, Ad gets hit in the face and they
Speaker 2: just get rolled. So here is the scenario for the
Speaker 2: Lakers to move up one line. They need to win out,
Speaker 2: all right, there's three games left. They have to beat
Speaker 2: the Warriors. Tough game, but it's in La Lakers and
Speaker 2: great in Los Angeles at the Grizzlies, no problem, and
Speaker 2: then at the Pelicans in the final game of the year,
Speaker 2: which could be almost like a playoff game. If you
Speaker 2: assume the Lakers win out, they then move up if
Speaker 2: any of the following happens. Okay, if the Kings lose twice,
Speaker 2: the King's schedule is at the Thunder, home for the Pelicans,
Speaker 2: home for the Suns, home for the Blazers, or if
Speaker 2: the Pelicans lose twice, but keep in mind, one of
Speaker 2: those losses is baked in to this scenario because the
Speaker 2: Lakers would be playing them. The Pelicans are at the Kings,
Speaker 2: at the Warriors, and then home for the Lakers. And
Speaker 2: the Pelicans, by the way, have been in a bit
Speaker 2: of a free fall. They steadied themselves with a win
Speaker 2: against the Suns, or if the Suns lose twice. The
Speaker 2: Suns have home for the Clippers, at the Clippers, at
Speaker 2: the Kings, at the Timberwolves. So if the Lakers win out,
Speaker 2: I think they move up to your point on would
Speaker 2: it be a bit of a silver lining if they
Speaker 2: don't that Lebron beat Stephan the play in once a
Speaker 2: couple years later, eliminated him in round two last year,
Speaker 2: and then could beat him in the nine ten playing game. Sure,
Speaker 2: but not enough of a silver lining because you can't
Speaker 2: be in the nine to ten part of it because
Speaker 2: then you gotta win. Then you gotta win a road game,
Speaker 2: and then you start on the road obviously in a
Speaker 2: best of seven. If you get through those two games
Speaker 2: against the one seed that's been resting for a week,
Speaker 2: so the Lakers need to go three. If the Lakers
Speaker 2: go three to zero, I think one of those scenarios
Speaker 2: is gonna happen because those teams above them play each
Speaker 2: other enough that one of them's gonna get a couple losses,
Speaker 2: and so that's the scenario for the Lakers. I believe
Speaker 2: it's going to I believe the Lakers are going to
Speaker 2: on the final day of the season beat the Pelicans
Speaker 2: to move up to the seven eight game. I believe
Speaker 2: that's gonna happen. They're gonna finish the year forty eight
Speaker 2: and thirty four potentially tied with New Orleans, and that
Speaker 2: they would have the tiebreaker with New Orleans. That's the
Speaker 2: scenario that I am looking for. But it's so weird
Speaker 2: because right now now the Lakers could absolutely finish. There
Speaker 2: are let me check basketball references, playoff odds. The right now,
Speaker 2: the Lakers have a three percent chance to be the
Speaker 2: sixth seed, a nine percent chance to be this isn't
Speaker 2: for you know, pre playing the seven, a seventeen percent
Speaker 2: chance to be the eight, a forty one percent chance
Speaker 2: to be the nine, and a thirty percent chance to
Speaker 2: be the ten. And that is basically they lose tonight
Speaker 2: and they're cooked on that front probably. So we have
Speaker 2: three games left and six through ten are all in
Speaker 2: play for them, and that is the same by the way,
Speaker 2: for the Warriors are basically locked into either nine or ten,
Speaker 2: but the Kings can be anywhere from six through ten,
Speaker 2: the Suns can be anywhere from six through nine, and
Speaker 2: the Pelicans can be anywhere from six through eight. Realistically
Speaker 2: maybe six through nine as well. It's just a wild
Speaker 2: how close. It is at the end of the season here,
Speaker 2: all right, take a quick break, come back and do
Speaker 2: Demonse's favorite segment of the year. That's next, What's right?
Speaker 2: All right? Welcome back in What's Right with Nick? Right
Speaker 2: before we get to this or that time? Now, Demonse,
Speaker 2: you know what time year it is. Do you hear
Speaker 2: the birds chirping? Do you hear the soothing tones of
Speaker 2: Jim Nance's voice. Can you taste the pimento in your mouth? Slightly? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 2: the azaleas blooming. It's time for our masss corner, go
Speaker 2: right ahead.
Speaker 4: Oh gosh. The Masters is underway in Augusta and Scottie
Speaker 4: Schefter Scheffler is the favorite.
Speaker 3: Break it down while I watch some grass grow.
Speaker 2: Oh buddy. So here's the thing. So this is a
Speaker 2: big weekend, right because my wife and I April thirteenth
Speaker 2: is our anniversary and we're renewing our vows, which is
Speaker 2: actually a full blown wedding one hundred and fifty people,
Speaker 2: a full blown ceremony. The Great Mayor of Kansas City
Speaker 2: is doing it for me. Is he's the officiant is
Speaker 2: if you got bride'smaids groomsman Demonsey's getting fitted for a
Speaker 2: tucks a full thing, and I try to be you know,
Speaker 2: I got a lot of balls in the air that
Speaker 2: I gotta you know, keep keep a lot of people
Speaker 2: happy at different times. And I feel honestly terribly about
Speaker 2: scheduling a major event, asking people to travel, potentially asking
Speaker 2: people to be on an airplane Sunday afternoon flying home
Speaker 2: for the during the final round of the Masters. However,
Speaker 2: April thirteenth is my literal anniversary, and it falls on
Speaker 2: a Saturday, so there was no real wiggle room about
Speaker 2: doing it a week later. Like if April thirteenth had
Speaker 2: fallen on a Tuesday, then it's like, oh, we're not
Speaker 2: gonna be able to do it on the day either way.
Speaker 2: So I've got some good news for you, buddy, because Sat,
Speaker 2: you know, you are co best man along with friend
Speaker 2: of the Pod Danny Parkins. Saturday morning, while the ladies
Speaker 2: are getting ready and getting dressed and doing all that,
Speaker 2: and we have some extra time, we're all, you know
Speaker 2: what our Saturday morning wedding activity is. We're watching the Masters. Oh,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be great. It's gonna be great. And the ceremony, listen,
Speaker 2: we're gonna have We're gonna miss obviously. Uh, you know
Speaker 2: the end of day three because we will beat, the
Speaker 2: ceremony will be going on, and then Sunday open schedules
Speaker 2: for everyone. Danielle's like, do you want to play anything?
Speaker 2: I'm like, nah, give people their own day, Like we
Speaker 2: don't have to have any post wedding stuff, you know why,
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, gracious Sunday at Augusta. And so that's
Speaker 2: you and me locked in for it, and you have
Speaker 2: no choice because this is a family weekend. It's a
Speaker 2: me and your mom weekend, and so you are on
Speaker 2: my side of things. So you're gonna be locked right
Speaker 2: in there with me, and I'm I got a prediction
Speaker 2: you're gonna be hooked after this weekend because the other
Speaker 2: thing that's gonna be happened Saturday morning. We're gonna be
Speaker 2: putting in some bets, my friend. We're gonna be and
Speaker 2: golf gambling, Oh my goodness, because it's all there are,
Speaker 2: all of it, demands ay, all of it's gonna feel
Speaker 2: like sixteen parlay because there's so many golfers. You get
Speaker 2: great odds on everything. So my big pre masters bet
Speaker 2: Margaton now Xander Showfley twenty to one to win the Masters.
Speaker 2: He has the profile of a guy that absolutely can
Speaker 2: win this tournament. His game FIXX fits Augusta National perfectly.
Speaker 2: He finished second five years ago. He's one of the
Speaker 2: best active golfers without a major. He's got a top
Speaker 2: three at the Masters, at the Open and the US Open.
Speaker 2: And I understand everybody's gonna be on Scotty Scheffler, and
Speaker 2: Scotty Scheffler is the rightful favorite. You what are you
Speaker 2: looking at? What is Oh? You're literally watching grassgrow? This
Speaker 2: is this is unbelievable, unbelievably in soul thing what you're doing.
Speaker 2: This is one of the greatest sporting events of the year.
Speaker 2: Pal the Augusta National. I can't wait. And Friday, Oh boy,
Speaker 2: Oh we're gonna be together Friday too. Friday, we're gonna
Speaker 2: be able to watch. Oh my goodness, gracious, this is
Speaker 2: and Tiger trying to break the record for cuts made.
Speaker 2: Oh you know what I did yesterday? Yesterday I took
Speaker 2: This is what we call I think this is what
Speaker 2: people your age call Celf.
Speaker 3: Time would keep coming back, dude, how old is he?
Speaker 2: He comes back for the Masters. But I think this
Speaker 2: is what people your age call self. Carod him. I say, yesterday,
Speaker 2: I carved out about thirty minutes of my day to
Speaker 2: watch a cut up of one of the greatest back
Speaker 2: nines in golf history, Jack at the eighty six Masters
Speaker 2: in his mid forties, going eagle birdie birdie on fifteen
Speaker 2: sixteen seventeen to shockingly win his final major. A legendary performance.
Speaker 2: Could we see something like that from Tiger this time?
Speaker 2: Probably not Tiger if you want to bet on him,
Speaker 2: by the way, he's a nice tidy one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty to one. But we're gonna put our money on
Speaker 2: Xander and we're gonna go with the x Man to
Speaker 2: win the Masters. Let's go so excited, lock it in
Speaker 2: and out of respect to the Master's Tournament executive decision
Speaker 2: right now, my guy Jake here at Trenton is gonna
Speaker 2: be happy. The Blue Dog folks are gonna be happy.
Speaker 2: Demonsday's gonna be happy. Out of respect to the Master's Tournament,
Speaker 2: we're canceling Thursday's pod. Yeah, you can't be watching me
Speaker 2: when you can watch the opening rounds on the Masters app.
Speaker 2: Create your own foursome watch every shot. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 2: best app in sports, by the way. Demons download it now.
Speaker 2: It's it's useful four days a year. Best app in sports,
Speaker 2: every single shot, the moment it comes in, right to
Speaker 2: your phone, crystal clear four K. It's free. There's no ads.
Speaker 2: I don't know how they do it. All right, let's
Speaker 2: play this or that?
Speaker 3: All right, guys?
Speaker 4: What the death that? I was just gonna say, I
Speaker 4: have nothing. I feel like you suck at Golden Tea.
Speaker 4: Like kick your button, Golden Tea.
Speaker 3: This all right, golf, no problem.
Speaker 2: We're gonna be in Kansas City, grand Flute on the
Speaker 2: plaza where I where I made my bones in Golden Tea.
Speaker 2: I will whoop your ass in Golden Tea. We will
Speaker 2: put real money on it. I'm not a Golden Tea
Speaker 2: pro like some of those guys where you have your
Speaker 2: own golfer and like you're competing with other Golden te pros.
Speaker 2: But me versus an amateur, me versus someone that doesn't.
Speaker 4: Understand the much You have no idea how much Golden
Speaker 4: Tea I played when I lived in Kansas City and
Speaker 4: was building fences every day.
Speaker 3: You have no idea.
Speaker 2: But you know what, that's a good point. And I
Speaker 2: bet some of those fence builders are big time Golden
Speaker 2: Tea guys.
Speaker 3: I bet you serious on the top of the.
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden it's like, wait, why where
Speaker 2: did this character come from? Why does he have a
Speaker 2: rainbow hat on and wearing knickers? Or like he's from
Speaker 2: Scotland and he's just banging. Yeah, no, I know those guys.
Speaker 2: Those guys are great. Give me a picture of corps
Speaker 2: light in about ninety.
Speaker 3: Minutes exactly the machine God.
Speaker 2: That is a dream. I gotta tell you. There is
Speaker 2: like an alternate life that I wonder, Like what if
Speaker 2: I had just been like a mailman and I just
Speaker 2: have my nine hour job and then after work I
Speaker 2: hit up my local bar. I just crush it darts,
Speaker 2: Golden tea, billiards. No, after work, I'm not going on
Speaker 2: nice vacations. I'm not eating great meals, but I'm just
Speaker 2: living that part of me that might be retirement for me.
Speaker 2: Retirement for me might get it. Go be tea. Oh
Speaker 2: a golden team, go, I don't want golden Yeah, a
Speaker 2: golden team. We have a pac Man and we have
Speaker 2: big Buck Hunter. Big Buck Hunter. I used to be
Speaker 2: top one percent in the world at the Grand Faloon
Speaker 2: in Kansas City with my roommate Garrett, when I was
Speaker 2: living that life you were living when you were selling fences.
Speaker 2: This was when your mom and I met each other,
Speaker 2: when she first came over to the apartment that I
Speaker 2: lived in with Garrett, and she told me, if we're
Speaker 2: going to continue this relationship, you have to move. This
Speaker 2: is the most disgusting place I've ever been in my life.
Speaker 2: And I promptly moved. We would go to the Grand
Speaker 2: Faloon on the Plaza and just wreck shop in big
Speaker 2: buck Hunter. Oh my goodness, gracious, those are the days
Speaker 2: your early twenties. Guys. It's just you know, to try
Speaker 2: to keep the popped Achilles to under one and a half.
Speaker 2: But aside from that, you really can't do wrong. What
Speaker 2: a life. Oh, I'd trade it all, demonse back, relive
Speaker 2: it all right, let's play this or that yo.
Speaker 4: The seventy six Ers and Spurs went to double overtime Sunday.
Speaker 4: Wimby did Wimby stuff, dropping thirty eight eighteen seven has
Speaker 4: seven blocks in five threes.
Speaker 3: Geez uh.
Speaker 4: Maxi on the other side, dropped a career high fifty
Speaker 4: two in the win. The more impressive performance was Wimby
Speaker 4: or Maxi.
Speaker 2: Uh, that's a tie. Maxi's played fifty two minutes and
Speaker 2: was just never tired and just could get to the
Speaker 2: rim at will when Maxie's rolling. He is such a
Speaker 2: fascinating player because he just seems faster than everyone. He is.
Speaker 2: He doesn't seem like the greatest athlete. This seems faster
Speaker 2: than everyone. And I might have been a little too
Speaker 2: low on Wimby. He's pretty impressive. He's pretty impressive. I mean,
Speaker 2: I is he already one of the twenty best players
Speaker 2: in the league. Yeah? Probably? Uh, and so that is
Speaker 2: really that number.
Speaker 4: I was eighty six percent, Like I was saying, he's
Speaker 4: got more bucks than eighty six percent of the league.
Speaker 4: You were like, that's probably skewed because you know all
Speaker 4: the players on the bench. I'm pretty sure that number
Speaker 4: is gone up, and I think the number, like of
Speaker 4: of all time NBA players is also going up, Like
Speaker 4: it's probably going eighty two, eighty six, eighty eighty seven.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's getting three four blocks a game. I
Speaker 4: don't know what his averages, but hey man, it's it's usual.
Speaker 4: But did you go to the catch did you did
Speaker 4: you see his logo? What do you think of it?
Speaker 2: I did see? Is that confirmed. Is that? Oh, that's
Speaker 2: Nike's actual tweet. Okay, that's a dope logo. I gotta
Speaker 2: say that is a dope logo. And I like the
Speaker 2: Nike's smart man, not your hot take. Nike's marketing department
Speaker 2: a plus. All right. Next, actually, it's not the stupid
Speaker 2: Matt Ford trying to get us talk about a fel professional.
Speaker 4: That's not So many people saw this coming before the season,
Speaker 4: but the Orlando Magic are currently sitting in the three seed.
Speaker 4: Something else no one saw coming. The once mighty Warriors
Speaker 4: celebrating the ten seed yikes, Yeah.
Speaker 2: That's embarrassing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you see the picture up there on YouTube.
Speaker 4: The more shocking thing is Magic being the three seed
Speaker 4: or the Warriors celebrating a play in birth.
Speaker 2: Uh, it's Orlando being the three with a real chance
Speaker 2: because they play Milwaukee twice in the final week of
Speaker 2: being the two seed is more shocking. The Warriors celebrating
Speaker 2: the ten seeds just sad and just like Draymond being like, oh,
Speaker 2: we showed you, Tari Eason, we ended your season. Bro,
Speaker 2: you're a dynasty. You're like, give me a break. All right.
Speaker 4: Next, it's talking like the Rockets reports are that Michael
Speaker 4: Parsons has worn thin in Dallas and that people in
Speaker 4: the organization will be smiling or breathing a sigh of
Speaker 4: relief if Parsons was gone. Meanwhile, Dak's future is very
Speaker 4: much in question. Who's out first, Parsons or Deck smiling
Speaker 4: of Michael left the building.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean, whoever said this is just
Speaker 2: so out of their mind. Guys, you have a twenty
Speaker 2: four year old superstar. Do you know what your job is?
Speaker 2: If you have a twenty something year old multi millionaire
Speaker 2: who is one of the best in the world at
Speaker 2: what he does, manage him. That's the job that, as
Speaker 2: Don Draper would say, that's what the money's for. The
Speaker 2: idea that, oh, Mike is a pain in the ass
Speaker 2: and that's what you're paid for, is to mitigate that, like,
Speaker 2: shut up, he's.
Speaker 3: Going to.
Speaker 2: Exactly That's what I'm saying. It'd be one thing if
Speaker 2: it's like the guys out here getting arrested doing he's
Speaker 2: not doing what his podcast annoys.
Speaker 3: You give me a break.
Speaker 2: I mean, so it's such an outrageous thing. Mike is
Speaker 2: going to be their long Dak. This could be DA's
Speaker 2: last year. So the answer to that question is dak.
Speaker 2: I want to skip the Bronni question because that's too
Speaker 2: long form, Like there's a lot of layers to the
Speaker 2: Bronni stuff that we can discuss. H. I don't want
Speaker 2: to give it the short, short shrift here, So let's
Speaker 2: skip the Bronni question and go to the NBA the
Speaker 2: full NBA question.
Speaker 4: All right, After a night off of the NBA, either
Speaker 4: because of the National Championship or the Eclipse, I'm not
Speaker 4: quite sure, NBA Basketball Retire returns in full force with
Speaker 4: fourteen games tonight. Fourteen NBA games and one night is
Speaker 4: too much or too little or not enough?
Speaker 2: Sorry, well it's obviously too much. But they the end,
Speaker 2: while the NFL is just out here elbowing the NBA
Speaker 2: off corners it previously had, like Hey, we're Christmas Day, Nope,
Speaker 2: it's ours now. Hey we're m okay they Nope, it'z
Speaker 2: ours now, the NBA stays its gracious self and it's like,
Speaker 2: we're not we're gonna keep the tradition of not having
Speaker 2: pro basketball on the night of the National Championship game.
Speaker 2: We're just not gonna do it. And because of that,
Speaker 2: that then makes tonight a super pack slate. All right,
Speaker 2: quick break right back with your questions and our answers.
Speaker 2: What's right? All right, welcome back in. We'll drive with Nick. Right, demons,
Speaker 2: Let's get to these questions.
Speaker 4: Mac Prost asked, Nick, have you ever been to the Masters?
Speaker 3: What do you think about the course?
Speaker 2: I've never been to the Masters. If anyone who has it,
Speaker 2: you know what this is one of those things. If
Speaker 2: there is a total stranger listening that is a fan
Speaker 2: of the show and wants to invite me next year,
Speaker 2: I will go. I don't need to know you. I'm
Speaker 2: not like we can we can become very good friends.
Speaker 2: If anyone wants to invite me to go to the
Speaker 2: Masters next year, I obviously will pay my own way
Speaker 2: for everything. But if anyone has has access to Saturday
Speaker 2: Sunday at Augusta and would like to invite me for
Speaker 2: a day or two, I'm in. I've never been. At
Speaker 2: some point, all go at some point. Maybe I'll have
Speaker 2: enough juice to where I can get the the dockets,
Speaker 2: the ducats myself. I don't have that yet, So if
Speaker 2: anyone out there wants to invite me, I'll.
Speaker 3: Go next Justin Rempi asked Nick.
Speaker 2: Don't don't. Don't, don't, don't don't ask that question.
Speaker 4: Don't ask Gerald, Ryan Fitzgerald. Question for Nick, more impressive
Speaker 4: recent dominant chiefs or Yukon men's basketball?
Speaker 2: Well, Youugon's definitely been more dominant. You guns won every
Speaker 2: tournament game by a dozen points. They've covered every spread.
Speaker 2: You Gon's been more dominant against their competition. You gun
Speaker 2: has been the most Yukon men's basketball in South Carolina
Speaker 2: women's basketball the last couple of years, been the most
Speaker 2: dominant horses in sports across the board. Uh, let's go
Speaker 2: to Clark.
Speaker 3: Clark Briz asked.
Speaker 4: Nebrez asked Nick, if the trade someone in the offseason,
Speaker 4: who among their two guards should it be.
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna trade Tree Young. I think Trey
Speaker 2: Young is the guy they're gonna trade, maybe to the Lakers.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think I think that's who
Speaker 2: they're gonna That's who they're gonna trade trade.
Speaker 4: All right, Next, Derek Brooks said, question for Nick, what
Speaker 4: do you think about the nd season tournament winner that
Speaker 4: finished seventh or ten getting the sixth seed? This would
Speaker 4: get them out of the play in as an incentive.
Speaker 2: The problem I had, like I've heard some people are like,
Speaker 2: if you win the nd season tournament, you're automatically in
Speaker 2: the playoffs. The problem with that is then it would
Speaker 2: potentially lead to a team, you know, just coasting or
Speaker 2: resting guys for a month leading up to the playoffs,
Speaker 2: and so that's not uh the right answer. I do
Speaker 2: think you could do more than just a financial incentive,
Speaker 2: but I don't think you can give an automatic playoff
Speaker 2: birth all right, good show off on Thursday and celebration
Speaker 2: of the Masters. Demonse. Can't wait to see you in
Speaker 2: Kansas City. I'll see you guys on What's Right next week.
