Speaker 2: skin in mind. Demons, We've got quite a show playing
Speaker 2: for everyone today. Good to see you. You look great.
Speaker 2: You and I have both gone minimalistic with our outfit
Speaker 2: choices today. No logos, no sleeves, his white T shirt
Speaker 2: and black T shirt to celebrate the occasion, and because
Speaker 2: today is a special show, I am going to do
Speaker 2: something I essentially I try never to do, and I
Speaker 2: scold other podcasts for doing, which is a bunch of
Speaker 2: fluff in the beginning before we get to what people
Speaker 2: are here for. Because I think the fluff in the
Speaker 2: beginning here actually people will enjoy, which is I am well,
Speaker 2: I have to go back. The payoff on this, I
Speaker 2: promise will be worth it. But I have to tell
Speaker 2: you guys a story from our vacation quickly that then
Speaker 2: leads to a problem for this evening, okay, and then
Speaker 2: we'll get to the real part of the show. So
Speaker 2: Demanse knows this, the audience doesn't uh. For our vacation
Speaker 2: a week and a a couple of weeks ago, one
Speaker 2: day we rented a jet ski at our house on
Speaker 2: like the sound in Turks and everyone's taking turns riding it.
Speaker 2: And then I took Diane out on it. We went
Speaker 2: all the way down the sound out into the ocean,
Speaker 2: came back and we're gonna do another lap. I'm not
Speaker 2: exactly the sea snake from House of Dragons. I don't
Speaker 2: really know the tides and an area that was totally
Speaker 2: fine for me to ride through thirty minutes prior that
Speaker 2: sea levels had changed whatever, And all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: I am at the end of this sound, not in
Speaker 2: view of the house, probably a quarter mile from shore,
Speaker 2: marooned basically on the beach because where it used to
Speaker 2: be water no longer is water. Deanna's with me. I
Speaker 2: but I can see like five feet from where I'm marooned.
Speaker 2: The water is deep enough, so I and is a
Speaker 2: big jet ski. It's like a big two person jet ski.
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, I gotta push this thing into
Speaker 2: the deeper water, not recognizing the tide is going lower
Speaker 2: and the tide the water where I think it's deep enough.
Speaker 2: By the time I get it there, it won't be
Speaker 2: deep enough. I don't realize this until thirty minutes of pushing, pulling,
Speaker 2: trying to move this jet ski, which is basically now
Speaker 2: just on the land. Deanna the water is now ankle
Speaker 2: deep for her. She is just floating on her back,
Speaker 2: having a good time. I just hit my head on
Speaker 2: the wall and I am I'm now scared, not of drowning,
Speaker 2: but of passing out. It's one hundred degrees. I've been
Speaker 2: pushing this thing. I have no phone, I have no water.
Speaker 2: What I do have is I can see in the
Speaker 2: horizon a man painting a house, and I'm like, I've
Speaker 2: got to get to this guy because I'm cooked. Like
Speaker 2: there's on the other side of the horizon there have
Speaker 2: been people riding jet skis. I've yelled to him, no chance.
Speaker 2: I thought maybe someone at the house would be like, hmm,
Speaker 2: they've been gone a long time. Instead, as it turns out,
Speaker 2: your mom and her sisters were making TikTok and Instagram
Speaker 2: videos and I am just cooked, literally and figuratively. I
Speaker 2: get over to the shore. It's now been forty five minutes,
Speaker 2: thirty five of pushing pulling this jet ski, ten of
Speaker 2: getting to the shore carrying Deanna, and by the time
Speaker 2: I get there, I'm so near death. I can't remember
Speaker 2: your mom's phone number. I can't remember a number. I'm like,
Speaker 2: do you have a phone? He said yes. It's like,
Speaker 2: do you have WhatsApp? He says, yes, what's the number?
Speaker 2: And I gave him the first three Your I won't
Speaker 2: say your phone number, obviously, but you're a nine one
Speaker 2: three number. Your mom's an eight one six number. I
Speaker 2: gave him your nine, one, three, and then your mom's number.
Speaker 2: He's like, no answer. He's like, this doesn't work. This
Speaker 2: is fine. I'm like, all right, I gotta get in
Speaker 2: some shade. I have to rally here for a moment.
Speaker 2: So obviously I survived. We got a hold of Danielle.
Speaker 2: I then had to walk on this gravel road to
Speaker 2: the street where she and the guy who rented me
Speaker 2: the jet ski came. He and I then walked back
Speaker 2: out to the jet ski and he's like, we're gonna
Speaker 2: try to push it. As soon as he got out there,
Speaker 2: this nice man, he's like, jet skis jet ski not moving.
Speaker 2: He's like, it's not gonna move until midnight when the
Speaker 2: tides come up, So with it. That was so. The
Speaker 2: reason I'm telling that story is this I have since
Speaker 2: that moment. I think I either slipped a disc or
Speaker 2: did something in my back trying to push this stupid
Speaker 2: jet ski. Why am I telling you the story today
Speaker 2: because in eight hours I auditioned to be the US
Speaker 2: Open ball boy. That's why my big moment might be
Speaker 2: ruined by my nautical noviceness. I'm still walking with a limp. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: Mark Carmon, who great Chicago broadcaster, flew into interview to
Speaker 2: audition for the US Open with me. He this morning
Speaker 2: I see him. He has two tennis rackets exercise bands.
Speaker 2: He is regripping rackets and stretching. Meanwhile, I can't walk
Speaker 2: without a limp. So that's happening at Arthur Ash in
Speaker 2: about eight hours. So I got a rally, man, I
Speaker 2: really have to rally.
Speaker 3: Got a little bit string training in. I know what
Speaker 3: you need is probably agility here.
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, you're maybe, But I am. I was.
Speaker 2: I was walking your sister to rent a city bike
Speaker 2: the other day and she was like, why are you
Speaker 2: walking with a limp? I'm like, I don't know. Man
Speaker 2: like my like. So we'll see how this goes. Okay, Now,
Speaker 2: no better way to start the two hundred and fiftieth
Speaker 2: episode than the you know my own failures of athleticism.
Speaker 2: Here's what missed the cut the Miami Heat when the
Speaker 2: Summer League title, Travis Kelcey has brought back the training
Speaker 2: camp Stash and demonse. I am. I not only have
Speaker 2: I gotten Syracuse to back to back college football playoffs
Speaker 2: in the new College Football video game, but I had
Speaker 2: a dream about my recruiting class last night. Woke up
Speaker 2: this morning and started playing again, and your mom came
Speaker 2: downstairs and had such a look of disgust and disdain.
Speaker 4: As what I do? Like what four or five?
Speaker 2: Like six in the morning, I'm and I am so
Speaker 2: hooked back hooked, demonse. I've played legitimately fifteen hours of
Speaker 2: the new college football video game. I haven't played the game.
Speaker 2: All I have done is recruit players, hire and fire coaches,
Speaker 2: build a schedule. Doora came in the room. Doora came
Speaker 2: in the room, watched me for like ten minutes, and
Speaker 2: she was like, oh, so this is just a role play.
Speaker 2: I'm like, it's not a role play. She was like, yes,
Speaker 2: it is. She was like, are these at least actually
Speaker 2: real people. I'm like, no, we're the twenty twenty nine season.
Speaker 2: They're just make believe. She was like, well, how do
Speaker 2: you know if they're good? I'm like, they're ratings and
Speaker 2: she was like, when do you play. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna play. I have to that. Sully's the recruiting process.
Speaker 2: I'm just recruiting and simulating the games. And by the way,
Speaker 2: I built Syracuse into a national power and we won
Speaker 2: two ACC championship back to back college football playoffs. Last year,
Speaker 2: though we went seven and five. It was a disastrous
Speaker 2: season and the defensive coordinator paid with his job. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: in the chat, let us know some of your favorite
Speaker 2: moments from the first two hundred of AFY the episode
Speaker 2: and we'll read some of those best answers later and
Speaker 2: now to the actual show. Demon's a go ahead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Team USA needed every drop of Lebron's game
Speaker 3: high twenty points versus Germany. He's also a crucial part
Speaker 3: in their close win against South Sudan. Bronze teammates have
Speaker 3: called him the key to victory and it was very
Speaker 3: surprising coming from Edwards. But I know Lebron's a guy,
Speaker 3: but isn't kind of concerning that he's the number one
Speaker 3: guy for Team USA at this moment being thirty nine.
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm not trying to sound unpatriotic, but
Speaker 2: I don't really. I mean, I care more about Lebron's
Speaker 2: legacy than Team USA. And for Lebron's legacy, this is unbelievable. Guys,
Speaker 2: He's the best player on the Olympic team. It's I
Speaker 2: said that on TV yesterday before the Germany game happened.
Speaker 2: Since these Olympics have started, the players themselves voted who's
Speaker 2: the best player. No one got more than two votes,
Speaker 2: except for Lebron, who got five. They've had two close games.
Speaker 2: He won them both for them, and they made him
Speaker 2: the first basketball male basketball player ever to be a
Speaker 2: flag bearer. This it is so I understand that no,
Speaker 2: you know, mj probably would have bet on who would
Speaker 2: have won the you know who would have finished crossed
Speaker 2: the finish line.
Speaker 4: First.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. Uh, the the by the way, Mark
Speaker 2: Carmon's here at Trenti's just really not doing well. He's
Speaker 2: the biggest Michael Jordan guy in the world. He's not
Speaker 2: doing well hearing all this, here's the deal. Uh. I
Speaker 2: actually think Lebron's age has worked against him narratively more
Speaker 2: than it has skill wise basketball wise. This past year
Speaker 2: he was second team All NBA caliber guy and he
Speaker 2: wasn't really even considered for it. And the only reason
Speaker 2: people would give you other than the Lakers record, which
Speaker 2: like Kevin Durant made it, Kawhi Leonard made it. Kawai's
Speaker 2: team I guess had a slightly better record, but was
Speaker 2: h I mean the guys in year twenty one, the
Speaker 2: guy's almost forty years old. Going into these Olympics. There
Speaker 2: were smart people debating whether or not he should start
Speaker 2: and whether or not you know, this was just a
Speaker 2: lifetime achievement the way it kind of is for Diana
Speaker 2: Tarazzi on the women's side. Instead, he's the best player.
Speaker 2: And if you were to ask me under this context,
Speaker 2: de monse full health rested, is there an American basketball
Speaker 2: player that I think is better than Lebron James on
Speaker 2: this team or otherwise? The answer is no, this one.
Speaker 2: I don't this moment, I don't think there's an I don't.
Speaker 2: So here's the thing. If you want to say, in
Speaker 2: the rankings of players, right, and I know Shay's not
Speaker 2: an American, but will include him, take out the Big three,
Speaker 2: Jannis Jokic, Luka, take those three guys out, Okay, any
Speaker 2: other player in the league. If you want to say, well,
Speaker 2: because Lebron can't do it eighty nights a year because
Speaker 2: of his age, because he's more of an injury risk
Speaker 2: than some of these guys because of his age, I
Speaker 2: am going to have Jalen Brunson above Lebron on my
Speaker 2: player hierarchy. Fine, I'll agree, disagree whatever, I'll listen to it.
Speaker 2: That's a separate question. If the question is this, we've
Speaker 2: got three games in the next ten days, I'm guaranteeing
Speaker 2: you health for everyone involved other than the Big Three Jokic,
Speaker 2: Luka Yannis, of every basketball player alive, who is your
Speaker 2: top draft pick? The fact that the answer to that
Speaker 2: question might very well be Lebron James at age thirty
Speaker 2: nine headed into year twenty two is so incomprehensible. Folks
Speaker 2: don't even want to acknowledge that that's what's happening. How
Speaker 2: can anyone art like, we are watching Lebron on a
Speaker 2: team with Jason Tatum. Does anyone actually think Tatum better
Speaker 2: at basketball? If they're both healthy. We're watching him on
Speaker 2: a team with Steph Curry. You know who doesn't think
Speaker 2: Steph Curry's better than Lebron Steph Curry. We're watching him
Speaker 2: on a team with Anthony Edwards. You know who thinks
Speaker 2: the best player on that team is Lebron James, Anthony Edwards.
Speaker 2: The only guy who seems to have real questions about
Speaker 2: it is Joel Embiid. But these insane quotes he's given
Speaker 2: out when Embiid's right now should lose his starting spot
Speaker 2: to Anthony Davis, who has probably been the second best
Speaker 2: player on team. Embiids had some wild quotes Joelle embiiding
Speaker 2: of throughout the Sons. So this is uh so I'm
Speaker 2: gonna read it to you exactly. You look at the
Speaker 2: talent the US has, but there's equal talent on other teams,
Speaker 2: and the talent that's on the US team, you gotta understand,
Speaker 2: most of those guys are older. The Lebron now is
Speaker 2: not the Lebron that was a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: So it's a big difference. Everybody would also tell you. You
Speaker 2: can see for yourself the athletic Lebron dominant that he
Speaker 2: was a couple of years ago. It's not the same
Speaker 2: as he is now. I think people get fooled by
Speaker 2: names on paper, but those names have been built throughout
Speaker 2: their career, and now they're older, they're not what they
Speaker 2: used to be. A wild quote to give four days
Speaker 2: ago to the New York Times about your teammate.
Speaker 3: That is I think that I also could have been
Speaker 3: coming from the angle if he did go deep into
Speaker 3: Lebron's age, but coming from the angle of like these
Speaker 3: games being close, and everybody thinks the USA should be
Speaker 3: blowing teams out.
Speaker 4: It's like, hey, but this.
Speaker 2: Is he said this before the games were He said
Speaker 2: this before any of the close games happened, And like
Speaker 2: the I listen, I like him be That's a wild
Speaker 2: quote to give about a teammate, flatly, like that quote
Speaker 2: can work at any other time. I know, but I
Speaker 2: just don't. It is truly unreal that Lebron is the
Speaker 2: best player on Team USA at this point, at this
Speaker 2: stage of his career, at this stage, at this age,
Speaker 2: and again I don't think it is. If you want
Speaker 2: to say Lebron is the tenth best player in the
Speaker 2: league when you incorporate injury risk, availability, that all of that.
Speaker 2: I understand the argument. But the flip side of that
Speaker 2: argument is if we're just saying best at best we've
Speaker 2: got for a game or for a few games, and
Speaker 2: the criteria is we're giving you everyone in the world
Speaker 2: at full strength, fully healthy, at their best under those parameters.
Speaker 2: I don't think at this moment, Shaye Tatum and any
Speaker 2: of that, any of those guys Steph Durrant are better
Speaker 2: than Lebron still, and if they are going to win
Speaker 2: the gold. He's gonna have to be excellent.
Speaker 4: Go ahead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, I know you're a big
Speaker 3: Lebron guy, but like, does that not you're not worried
Speaker 3: about him being the best player? Like what does that
Speaker 3: say about the talent that's going to be left in
Speaker 3: the NBA?
Speaker 2: Oh well, listen that or what the Olympic team's gonna
Speaker 2: look like in four years when when Lebron, Steph kd
Speaker 2: KT hadn't played yet. But Katie Rue, who's been important
Speaker 2: when all those guys are gone. Yeah, the rights of
Speaker 2: the world's coming. It's why they need to win this gold.
Speaker 2: And right now, they'd have just lost back to back
Speaker 2: games to South Sudan and Germany if Lebron didn't save
Speaker 2: their asses. It's remarkable. All right, let's talk chiefs quickly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Mahomes and the rookie Xavier Worthy clearly have
Speaker 3: a nice connection. I think we're going to show a
Speaker 3: replay of that that air ball, that moonball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean where he rolls to his left. This
Speaker 2: is an insane throw, rolls to his left, flipped his
Speaker 2: hips fifty five yards in the air bank.
Speaker 4: Go ahead.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So obviously Kansas City is prioritizing the speedster wide receiver,
Speaker 3: as they spent their first draft pick on them. But
Speaker 3: we know the Chiefs tend to play in games that
Speaker 3: get cold and you need like those bigger wide receivers.
Speaker 3: So do you think the Chiefs might be setting up
Speaker 3: aging Travis Kelcey for a meaty end of season or
Speaker 3: second half?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: So, I don't buy that on now aalysis, I don't
Speaker 2: buy that when the when when it's cold, speed doesn't play.
Speaker 2: I don't buy that. I disagree with that. It didn't
Speaker 2: play for the Dolphins because the Dolphins were the Dolphins
Speaker 2: don't play well in the cold. The it wasn't exactly
Speaker 2: ballmy in the famous bill get cold Sick again? Yet No, no,
Speaker 2: I I guess. But I the when it's bad conditions.
Speaker 2: To me, that favors speed on offense because you know
Speaker 2: where you're going the like if it's snowy out, the
Speaker 2: defense has to react plant you know where you're going. Also,
Speaker 2: Rashi Rice is an over the middle receiver and nobody.
Speaker 2: I again, I'm not in charge. I'm not in the
Speaker 2: league office. Guys, send your complaints elsewhere. But I said
Speaker 2: it last week. I'll say it again. I don't think
Speaker 2: he's getting suspended this year. You can say that's ridicul
Speaker 2: you can say it's outrageous, whatever it is. I do
Speaker 2: think he's eventually getting suspended. But if they were gonna
Speaker 2: suspend him before the legal process played out, they'd already
Speaker 2: done it. The fact that they haven't makes me think
Speaker 2: that they are waiting to see how the legal process
Speaker 2: plays out, and that's not gonna happen until after this season.
Speaker 2: And so no, I mean here is now as far
Speaker 2: as size the the producers, you know, remind me that
Speaker 2: justin Ross's case, he's only receiver over six ' to
Speaker 2: two that they don't have like a big body receiver
Speaker 2: except for Kelsey. That's a listen, it's not a perfectly
Speaker 2: built receiver room what it does though, here's the thing.
Speaker 2: And by the way, Xavier Worthy missed a lot of
Speaker 2: mini camp with a hamstring and now has missed the
Speaker 2: last two training camp practices with an illness. Uh, and
Speaker 2: so he's got to be able to be out there.
Speaker 2: But if he's out there, he just makes things so
Speaker 2: much easier for everyone else because there will be fewer
Speaker 2: even if he never touches the ball, just by being
Speaker 2: on the field, you have safeties over the top down
Speaker 2: the field, which is the first year without Tyree Kill.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs crushed everyone and scored the most points in
Speaker 2: the league dnking and dunking and throwing the running backs
Speaker 2: and tight ends. Last year. That kind of got the
Speaker 2: water cut off on it because nobody was afraid of
Speaker 2: the Chiefs down the field. This year, with Hollywood and Xavier,
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to have guys deep down the field
Speaker 2: as far as safeties. It's gonna open things what It's
Speaker 2: gonna really open things up for everybody else and that listen.
Speaker 2: I am Mahomes is excited about this. I am crazy
Speaker 2: excited about it, and he wants to remind everyone he
Speaker 2: has the best arm in the NFL. And I think
Speaker 2: that's what he's gonna be able to do with either
Speaker 2: of these guys, much less both of them. And I
Speaker 2: think Rashi is an excellent player off the field. Stuff
Speaker 2: is a separate issue. On the field. He is an
Speaker 2: excellent player who had damn near one thousand yards as
Speaker 2: a rookie, and now he's going to be your featured
Speaker 2: top receiver, all right, next.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So John Harbaugh came out and said that he
Speaker 3: and Lamar Jackson have a joint vision and Lamar is
Speaker 3: going to be known as the goat quarterback. So these
Speaker 3: some crazy standards to put on Lamar's crazy pressure to
Speaker 3: put on Lamar's shoulders, considering the pressure he already has.
Speaker 3: So you go ahead and answer why would he do this?
Speaker 3: And I remember that you know you're on egg shows
Speaker 3: with Lamar Jackson, so be easy with it.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, first of all, did you see Lamar's training
Speaker 2: camp update yesterday?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I did.
Speaker 2: What was it?
Speaker 4: He's gotta does he have COVID? I know he's.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. I mean the guy, the
Speaker 2: guy that somebody tweeted and it was a great tweet
Speaker 2: that Lamar has the immune system of a Victorian era child.
Speaker 2: And I mean, that's maybe a little harsh, but my
Speaker 2: guy gets sick a lot like he is. He is
Speaker 2: the sickliest of any quarterback I've ever seen. Every year
Speaker 2: when the weather gets cold, he's sick every year. And
Speaker 2: now the weather's not even cold, any's sick. I don't
Speaker 2: even know, man, my guy just it just gets sick.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. So here's here's the
Speaker 2: thing about the greatest quarterback ever, that that is not
Speaker 2: on the board for him anymore. So let me give
Speaker 2: an analogy here, Demond, do you know who Cooper Flag is? Y?
Speaker 2: Have you heard that name? The number one high school
Speaker 2: player in the country. He's about to go to DAI.
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag may never be as good as let me
Speaker 2: pick somebody, Trey Young. Okay, However, on the board of
Speaker 2: possible possibilities, for Cooper Flag is greatest player ever, everything
Speaker 2: is on the board for him. For Trey Young, greatest
Speaker 2: player ever is not on the board anymore, even though
Speaker 2: he's better than Cooper Flag might ever be. Does what
Speaker 2: I'm saying make sense? Like some guys, if you've been
Speaker 2: in the league five years, your ceiling, we know there
Speaker 2: is a realistic outcome of floor sealing all of it.
Speaker 2: So the point that I the reason I bring that
Speaker 2: up is this, Jayden Daniels, who I don't even know
Speaker 2: that I think is gonna be good, has a better
Speaker 2: chance of being the greatest quarterback ever than Lamar because
Speaker 2: it's possible for every quarterback currently playing, except for I
Speaker 2: suppose two, it's impossible for them to be the greatest ever.
Speaker 4: But Apex Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3: Though you've seen that and what do you think that is?
Speaker 4: Is that not.
Speaker 2: Greatest?
Speaker 3: Definitely a top like that's a number one quarterback. I
Speaker 3: feel like Lamar playing at his concursions.
Speaker 2: Okay, oh well number two maybe, but yeah, but yes,
Speaker 2: it's a Hall of Famer. It's one of the one
Speaker 2: of the greatest ever. But the point that I'm making,
Speaker 2: like if it, if it makes sense, is that there
Speaker 2: is there are two guys currently playing that really just
Speaker 2: one in mahomes, but all include Rogers because Rogers has
Speaker 2: the four m vps and a super Bowl. If Rogers
Speaker 2: all of a sudden one played three more years and
Speaker 2: won three straight Super Bowls with the Jets, some folks
Speaker 2: would be like, he's the greatest quarterback ever. If the
Speaker 2: there is the goat stuff for Lamar is obviously not possible.
Speaker 2: The but being one of the ten greatest quarterbacks ever
Speaker 2: is available to him because he has two MVPs already.
Speaker 2: He has the all time high winning percentage and two
Speaker 2: MVPs already, so he has so Hardball overstated it. The
Speaker 2: the the issue for Lamar that we are now more
Speaker 2: than a half decade into is every single year, his
Speaker 2: worst game of the year is the playoff game. They lose,
Speaker 2: and so it's not just here's the thing. It's not
Speaker 2: just like, oh, the guy doesn't have a ring. It's no,
Speaker 2: it's every single year in the postseason he has a
Speaker 2: terrible game. That's a killer. And so I'm not saying
Speaker 2: he won't ever get over that. What I am saying
Speaker 2: is the trend at this point is undeniable. And now
Speaker 2: there are two guys like Josh Allen and Lamar. Both
Speaker 2: have a strong case they're the second best quarterback in
Speaker 2: the league, and both have a massive yeah but about them.
Speaker 2: For Josh, he's not able to be consistent over the
Speaker 2: course of the entirety of a regular season because of that.
Speaker 2: They never have the bye, they never have home field.
Speaker 2: They're always playing these brutal round two games, like we
Speaker 2: don't have the fourteen and three number one seed by
Speaker 2: play the Jags in Round two like Mahomes had a
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. That doesn't That doesn't exist for
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. Yet for Lamar it's the opposite. Lamar has
Speaker 2: those years they do get the one seed, they do
Speaker 2: have the good path, he wins MVP, and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, he's awful in the postseason. So I
Speaker 2: think that right now the Ravens roster is slightly overvalued.
Speaker 2: But I also think that there's one other thing that's
Speaker 2: working against Lamar, right or wrong. The current crop of
Speaker 2: quarterbacks is judged versus Patrick. What's Josh's problem? Can't beat
Speaker 2: Patrick in the playoffs? Why is Burrow still considered by
Speaker 2: many the second best quarterback in the league. He beat
Speaker 2: Patrick that one time in the playoffs. People are super
Speaker 2: high on CJ. Stroud. One of the reasons Patrick hadn't
Speaker 2: beaten him yet. They haven't played yet, like there's for Lamar.
Speaker 2: They've played the Chiefs five times, or he's played Patrick
Speaker 2: five times one and four, including a home AFC Championship game.
Speaker 2: That's why that Week one game for the Ravens against
Speaker 2: the Chiefs is such a huge spot for them, such
Speaker 2: a huge spot. Go ahead.
Speaker 4: I'm very I'm very intrigued.
Speaker 3: You don't seem to be convinced that the Ravens could
Speaker 3: pull out the dub I know you thought that was
Speaker 3: really bad for the Ravens to have that in the
Speaker 3: first game, But I think it'll be great. I mean,
Speaker 3: especially saying that with the Chiefs in the first game
Speaker 3: is hilarious.
Speaker 2: I mean listen and hardball was you saw why he's
Speaker 2: such like a motivational force and all of that, and
Speaker 2: it was a great quote, and God bless him. But uh,
Speaker 2: and I do think he loves Lamar. I do think
Speaker 2: he loves Lamar. And Lamar's obviously a great player. I
Speaker 2: did my quarterback pyramid last year at the end of
Speaker 2: the regular season. I had let me see where I
Speaker 2: had it. Hold on, let me see if I can
Speaker 2: find my quarterback pyramid tears in Mahomes Mountain.
Speaker 4: Had him somewhere.
Speaker 2: Oh, I know he was. There's no question was on there.
Speaker 2: All time, all time tiers, all time Mountain. Here we go.
Speaker 2: So I had I had him like in the fifteen
Speaker 2: to twenty range of all time quarterbacks. I had him
Speaker 2: on the same tier as Drew Brees, Troy Aikman, Kurt Warner,
Speaker 2: and Steve Young because he has two MVPs. But like
Speaker 2: he he and if he wins a Super Bowl or
Speaker 2: just has one great postseason run, even if they come
Speaker 2: up short in the Super Bowl, but he plays well,
Speaker 2: you start having like a real Lamar versus Brett Favre conversation.
Speaker 2: You start having those. But he's got to go in
Speaker 2: the playoff run. He's got two all right, last thing up.
Speaker 3: He'll do it his whole knot of practices until he
Speaker 3: reaches a contract extension. Love achieved a little bit last year.
Speaker 3: He's got one season of the books, but they might
Speaker 3: give him twenty percent of that cap. I mean, he
Speaker 3: saw Trevor Lawrence get his money with accomplishing little to nothing.
Speaker 3: Other big contracts have famously backfires.
Speaker 2: Jordan one excellent season, one playoff win. So let's just
Speaker 2: chill you. He's accomplished the same as Jordan. Now he's
Speaker 2: had more time to accomplish it, but he's well, okay.
Speaker 4: If that's if.
Speaker 3: If he's accomplished the same as Trevor, it's both little
Speaker 3: accomplishments for all the money that they're seeking.
Speaker 4: I mean, no, that's fair.
Speaker 2: He's also, by the way, Trevor's twenty four, Jordan's about
Speaker 2: turn twenty six. But go ahead, it doesn't matter, just the.
Speaker 4: Fact, all right, fair enough.
Speaker 3: So the big contracts that backfired Daniel Jones and Kyler obviously.
Speaker 3: Do you think there's going to be a market correction
Speaker 3: with the quarterback contract soon?
Speaker 2: No? And I do think that Trevor's contract put the
Speaker 2: Packers and the Dolphin in a really rough spot, because
Speaker 2: it'd be one thing to be like, we're not you
Speaker 2: haven't accomplished what Joe Burrow did. We're not giving you that.
Speaker 2: But when Trevor gets five for two seventy five, all
Speaker 2: those guys get to be like, to I hadn't won
Speaker 2: a playoff game yet, but TWU has had more good
Speaker 2: seasons than Trevor's had, Jordan Love has won a playoff game.
Speaker 2: They all get to be like, that's what Trevor Lawrence got,
Speaker 2: That's what I want. And I listen you. You were
Speaker 2: early on Jordan Love, and thus far you've been correct
Speaker 2: on Jordan Love. I'd be nervous to pay Jordan Love
Speaker 2: that much money off this small of a sample, but
Speaker 2: they got it's just a weird spot because he didn't
Speaker 2: play for all those years. So the contract's up, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like, it's not it's not simple,
Speaker 2: but this would be a tiny sample. Ten good games
Speaker 2: is what we're talking about.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I will admit that it is a it
Speaker 3: is a small sample. Yeah, I hope that he can
Speaker 3: settle with something.
Speaker 2: But so he's gonna get fifty five million dollars, I'm
Speaker 2: just telling you all of those guys are going to
Speaker 2: get what Trevor got, Like, this is not a Trevor
Speaker 2: Lawrence conversation as far as the prince that was promised,
Speaker 2: you know my affection for the guy. This is just
Speaker 2: a cap agent, realistic conversation. None of those guys are
Speaker 2: going to take significantly, if anything, less than what Trevor got.
Speaker 2: And so those teams are like, you gotta be kidding me,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make this type of commitment to Jordan Love
Speaker 2: off ten games. The Dolphins are like, we don't even
Speaker 2: know if we think two is that could and we're
Speaker 2: gonna pay him that. But the answer is that that
Speaker 2: that's what Jordan's not gonna practice till he gets his deal.
Speaker 2: My guess is by Friday, Jordan Love has a five year,
Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy seven point five million dollar contract,
Speaker 2: that's my guess. And they're just gonna keep their fingers
Speaker 2: crossed in hope that he's excellent. All right, a very
Speaker 2: special UH public defender, and I'm told there's some pride,

Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So two hundred and fifty episodes in, and you've gotten
Speaker 3: a lot right while impressing many people. So let's take
Speaker 3: a listen to what some of them have to say.
Speaker 5: I hear it is the two hundred and fiftieth episode
Speaker 5: of What's Right. I always thought he could have been
Speaker 5: called What's Wrong? But Nick's right. Occasionally you do occasionally
Speaker 5: get some things right.
Speaker 2: I don't know how many things you actually get right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, totally, he's right all the.
Speaker 5: Time, so many bold takes, so many things that were
Speaker 5: out there, so much stuff that I was like.
Speaker 2: Wow, he's really going out on a limb.
Speaker 5: I liked the one where he said the Kansas City
Speaker 5: Chiefs were going to win the Super Bowl and then
Speaker 5: they did, and I was like, how.
Speaker 4: Did he come up with it?
Speaker 5: Is it? Because he's from there and a huge fan,
Speaker 5: and they got the best coach in the best quarterback
Speaker 5: and they were the favorites that might have been it,
Speaker 5: but he got it right. And then he got a tattoo,
Speaker 5: and he was so right about the favorites winning the
Speaker 5: Super Bowl. It was impressive.
Speaker 2: I really don't even give him credit for being right
Speaker 2: on the chiefs.
Speaker 5: I mean, you just happen to be born in Kansas City.
Speaker 6: Dude. Relax, all right, but one thing for sure is
Speaker 6: you get right is your fashion and that is because.
Speaker 7: Of my best seed, Danielle, which you also very much
Speaker 7: get right.
Speaker 6: One thing that he was right about was when I
Speaker 6: was about seven years old, he asked me if I
Speaker 6: wanted to be in a play, and I was asso
Speaker 6: scated that I get made fun of at school. My
Speaker 6: dad told me never to care about what other people think.
Speaker 6: Just think about what I will enjoy. And now I'm
Speaker 6: nineteen years old and I'm a theater major in college
Speaker 6: and I plan to do it for the rest of
Speaker 6: my life.
Speaker 5: Here's the two hundred and fifty more, twenty five hundred more,
Speaker 5: twenty five thousand more.
Speaker 7: Congratulations man, great podcast.
Speaker 4: Congrats on two hundred and fifty episodes.
Speaker 1: Congrats on crushing it on the show, and.
Speaker 4: Celebrate big moment.
Speaker 7: Meanwhile, two hundred and fifty episodes. Trying to be a
Speaker 7: good teammate. I've been binge watching all night. I'm at
Speaker 7: one seventeen. Lakers just made the playoffs, so don't spoil it.
Speaker 7: I gotta get back to it, see you later.
Speaker 2: Well, I was wondering. I was wondering whether or out
Speaker 2: Wilde was going to participate. That's really well done. I
Speaker 2: enjoyed that. I also did not remember that your sister said,
Speaker 2: I'm also gonna really embarrass Yeah, I'm really gonna embarrass you.
Speaker 2: Or if people were like where what where did you
Speaker 2: record that from? She naps in her bathtub? That was
Speaker 2: that you saw? That was like she has like a
Speaker 2: big comforter and pillows, Like she doesn't use her bathtub
Speaker 2: as a bathtub. She uses it as like a place
Speaker 2: she naps. So that's where that video was taking. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean that I didn't know. I mean that's you.
Speaker 2: That's where that was. When I saw the background, I
Speaker 2: was like, where is she in the house? And then
Speaker 2: I realized, okay, so uh so sorry my phone drinking?
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: So if you want to say something you can't.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's been a journey. It's it's really cool
Speaker 3: to be able to do this with you, pops. And
Speaker 3: just honestly, I don't want to say in pres but
Speaker 3: I just find it to be a thrill to come
Speaker 3: in here and try to do this each time.
Speaker 4: Because I mean, I'm still terrified.
Speaker 3: But it's been a journey and it's just been cool
Speaker 3: to you know, I can't believe that I started this
Speaker 3: in the heat of football season, like knowing the little
Speaker 3: knowledge I had about football at the time.
Speaker 4: But nonetheless, it's been a journey.
Speaker 3: It's been a cool thing to work with the producers
Speaker 3: and meet all these folks and all the people along
Speaker 3: the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's been it's been great. I agree, and
Speaker 2: I've had you know, I've had a wonderful time and
Speaker 2: we keep it going. And also if you guys want
Speaker 2: to chime in the chat, feel free. All right, let's
Speaker 2: play some public defender to Monday.
Speaker 3: So the opening ceremonies for the Paris Olympics for Friday,
Speaker 3: someone may see table tennis or trampoline in question if
Speaker 3: it's really a sport. You know who doesn't, Nick Wright,
Speaker 3: the public defender counselor Today you will be defending obscure
Speaker 3: sports in the Olympics. First up, you'll get the pick
Speaker 3: of client between three current Spurts and the Olympics. Your
Speaker 3: job is to make the case for why your client
Speaker 3: is in fact a sport and should not be mocked.
Speaker 3: Your choices are racewalking, breaking or break dancing or dressage
Speaker 3: counselors the case.
Speaker 4: After you chose, choose who you will defit.
Speaker 2: All right, so this is very easy. I'm going to
Speaker 2: defend racewalking because obviously this is a sport. It's actually
Speaker 2: a sport most of us participated in at a very
Speaker 2: young age without even knowing it. You might be like, what, because,
Speaker 2: so let me just explain the rules of racewalking. Are
Speaker 2: you want to go as fast as you can, but
Speaker 2: the way they define it is one foot has to
Speaker 2: be touching the ground at all times. So when you run,
Speaker 2: there's times when both feet are in the air. When
Speaker 2: you're walking, there's always one foot on the ground. So
Speaker 2: you do it as fast as possible. And you might say, no,
Speaker 2: I never did that. I don't know that, and I'm
Speaker 2: gonna say you're wrong. You know how I know? Here's
Speaker 2: how I know. Think back, you're a little kid. You're
Speaker 2: at a public pool, trying to get from one place
Speaker 2: to another. You start to jog and quick whistle, no running.
Speaker 2: What do you find yourself doing? Do you all of
Speaker 2: a sudden just slow down? Do you just start a
Speaker 2: leisurely strolled No, you don't. You know what you're doing
Speaker 2: in that time before, even though you didn't know you
Speaker 2: were doing it, you were racewalking. Oh I'm not running.
Speaker 2: I'm not running, I'm walking. But you're walking as fast
Speaker 2: as you can. It is something that millions of people
Speaker 2: have trained for since they were little kids, and now
Speaker 2: the best in the world compete at it. It takes endurance,
Speaker 2: it takes focus, it takes attention to detail. Don't tell
Speaker 2: me that racewalking isn't a sport, but the two hundred
Speaker 2: meter butterfly is. Like nobody everybody just you know, is
Speaker 2: in the pocket of big swimming and is fine with
Speaker 2: all of these different type of strokes that no one
Speaker 2: actually uses when they're regularly swimming. You get a gold
Speaker 2: medal for nobody has a problem with that. But I
Speaker 2: guarantee you, without a shadow of a doubt, more Americans
Speaker 2: or people worldwide in the last year, certainly in their lifetime,
Speaker 2: have found themselves simulating racewalking. Then they have simulated you know, uh,
Speaker 2: the free style back stroke and those different the backstroke
Speaker 2: in the pool. And even if you're like, no, the
Speaker 2: backstrokes one of the more popular ones. Okay, I'll go
Speaker 2: back to the butterfly. When's the last time you were
Speaker 2: you were swimming and you're like, you know what, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna break out the butterfly here in proper form. The
Speaker 2: answer is never so obviously racewalk. The butterfly, I think,
Speaker 2: is like this one where like you do like almost
Speaker 2: like a little like frog like up and down. That's
Speaker 2: the butterfly. Well, they always have the caps on any
Speaker 2: of them. And then there's also on what are what
Speaker 2: are swimming strokes? Eight different types of swimming and strokes
Speaker 2: from swim gym free style. We all know that one backstroke,
Speaker 2: we all know that one breaststroke, the breaststroke is this
Speaker 2: now the breaststroke people do. The breaststroke people do, so
Speaker 2: the butterfly is actually this one. It's like I'm gonna
Speaker 2: do it wrong, but it's really it's an advanced stimming stroke,
Speaker 2: but it's an excellent workout. Nobody does it. Side stroke.
Speaker 2: These are give me give me a break hold on.
Speaker 2: I think we have we we didn't lock the door.
Speaker 2: I think there's a little controversy at the the door
Speaker 2: of the store. Luckily KRMS here protect us, all right.
Speaker 3: Next, uh, So next you once again picked between three clients.
Speaker 3: This time though the sports will be events from the
Speaker 3: nineteen hundred parent Paris Olympics that were eliminated from the games.
Speaker 3: Your job is to defend that sports right to return
Speaker 3: to the Olympics. And your choices are ballooning, horse long
Speaker 3: and high jump or poodle climping, poodle clipping, counselor who
Speaker 3: you defend.
Speaker 2: I'm obviously gonna defend the horse long and high jump.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no there's I mean, that seems I'll
Speaker 2: be honest, I don't remember that event, but that seems awesome.
Speaker 2: Ballooning is about tech and about your you know, sophistication
Speaker 2: of your materials. Poodle clipping is ridiculous. Horse jumping sounds
Speaker 2: dope and and I know, listen, I don't want to
Speaker 2: get on the wrong side of peta. And I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's gonna be some folks that like, actually
Speaker 2: the animal. Here's the thing. Those I am confident knowing nothing.
Speaker 2: I am still confident in this. And by the way,
Speaker 2: let me explain what horse jumping was was riders had
Speaker 2: their horses compete in jumping. The winner of the horse
Speaker 2: long jump leapt six feet six point one meters and
Speaker 2: the gold for the horse high jumped reached one point
Speaker 2: eight meters. Here's the thing. I guarantee those horses were
Speaker 2: treated like gods. Those horses, I guarantee had amazing training
Speaker 2: at the Olympic level, great food, they were treated great.
Speaker 2: They're not like the poor horses that are gally, you know,
Speaker 2: trotting around Central Park looking like the saddest animals in
Speaker 2: the world. Like, that's a different story. I'm sure the
Speaker 2: Olympic horse jumping horses were in pretty We're in pretty
Speaker 2: different decent shape. So I think that would have been
Speaker 2: a dope event. And I like that e it a lot,
Speaker 2: Uh real quick, because I think that's our last am
Speaker 2: I wrong. I think that's our last public defender.
Speaker 4: We've got a bonus bonus topic.
Speaker 3: And here if you can, if you could include any
Speaker 3: event in the Olympics, what would it be?
Speaker 4: Competitive?
Speaker 3: Gambling, sports, debate, video games, other.
Speaker 2: If I could add an event to the Olympics, Uh, listen,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna know that that would be too self serving.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna and I'm gonna try to keep with an
Speaker 2: athleticism thing. I I'm gonna once again go to something
Speaker 2: that millions of people have done. It would be captivating
Speaker 2: television and it would the cool thing about it. It
Speaker 2: would be a true test of endurance. And it could
Speaker 2: start basically at the opening ceremonies and end probably right
Speaker 2: around the time of the closing ceremonies. And that is
Speaker 2: keep the balloon in the air. You get a team,
Speaker 2: you figure out a plan, and there are rules of
Speaker 2: how far the balloon has to travel and how high
Speaker 2: in the air. And it might be like, hey, guys,
Speaker 2: we're on day eleven. You just really want the gold,
Speaker 2: you better keep it in the air. I think that
Speaker 2: would be great. And just like every time there's like
Speaker 2: a break in one of the events, like a live
Speaker 2: look in at the keep the Balloon in the Air arena,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, it's these guys just exhausted
Speaker 2: hitting it. You're I'm telling you that, I just I
Speaker 2: didn't even know that was gonna be a question. I
Speaker 2: just I just thought of it. But keep the balloon
Speaker 2: in the air. That's what I that's my answer, that's
Speaker 2: what I would go with.
Speaker 3: Wait, but yeah, honestly, you're Olympic sport. But I do
Speaker 3: see people like there are videos of it. People are
Speaker 3: like really doing it competitively, like there's obstacles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, That's what I'm saying. That would it would
Speaker 2: be dope. People would absolutely care the We would have
Speaker 2: so much room for more Olympic events if we again,
Speaker 2: if someone had the courage to stare big swimming in
Speaker 2: the face and say freestyle and backstroke, that's all you get,
Speaker 2: and you don't get a fifty one hund two hundred
Speaker 2: and four hundred and eight hundred. You don't get too much. Instead,
Speaker 2: there's all the like the the swimming is is disproportionately
Speaker 2: awarded in medals. You guys know how I feel about this.
Speaker 2: Everyone's like, who's the greatest Olympian ever? They're like Mark
Speaker 2: Spitz and now it's Michael Phelps. Amazing, they're both swimmers.
Speaker 2: It's like, nah, man, I promise you if you're saying bold.
Speaker 2: If they were like, hey, guess what exact same race
Speaker 2: except you do it sidestepping and then exact same race,
Speaker 2: should do it running back words, he'd win those golds too,
Speaker 2: But he just didn't have as many opportunities to win
Speaker 2: golds as the swimmers. It's not fair. Quick break reads
Speaker 2: your questions Next What's right? All right, welcome back in
Speaker 2: What's right with Nick? Right before we get to the questions,
Speaker 2: Daniel asked during the break, what my issue was swimming is?
Speaker 2: I don't have an issue with swimming I just think
Speaker 2: that people are, you know, afraid to take on big
Speaker 2: swimming at times. And I'm gonna tell you another another.
Speaker 2: So if people remember the O eight Olympic Games in China,
Speaker 2: weird things were happening.
Speaker 4: So this is.
Speaker 2: This is an article from August of two thousand and eight.
Speaker 2: Today must have been an off day for the Beijing
Speaker 2: water cube. Only two world records broken this morning. Yesterday,
Speaker 2: six world records were broken in five races, meaning there
Speaker 2: was a race in that Olympics where the guy or
Speaker 2: woman who came in second in the race broke the
Speaker 2: world record, only to be beaten by the person who
Speaker 2: came in first. The first four days of the Olympics,
Speaker 2: sixteen world records were broken. And if you remember, the
Speaker 2: theory everyone had is the suits. They're like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: the suits are all it's these Nikes suits that are
Speaker 2: doing it. I have a much more simpler theory. The
Speaker 2: pool is too short, and everyone thinks that's dumb, but
Speaker 2: I deep down know I'm right. So here's the setup.
Speaker 2: You're in China. It is an autocratic state known to
Speaker 2: jail or kill dissidents at times. You have been charged.
Speaker 2: You have been charged with setting up what is the
Speaker 2: crown jewel of the Olympics. They're calling it the water cube,
Speaker 2: the pool. Everything's perfect, it's all set up, the cement's
Speaker 2: been poured, we're ready to go. And the pool, which
Speaker 2: is supposed to be fifty meters long, is forty nine
Speaker 2: point nine to six. You've screwed up because you forgot
Speaker 2: to incorporate. Oh my god, once we do the paint
Speaker 2: and the lacquer and the extra paint whatever, it takes
Speaker 2: off some of the length, what are we gonna do?
Speaker 2: And the answer is tell no one and start a
Speaker 2: rumor about the suits being super fast because records are
Speaker 2: going down, boys, and that's what happened. You can't convince
Speaker 2: me that's not what happened. I watched those Olympics, every
Speaker 2: every race, who's like, oh, world record page, world record pace,
Speaker 2: and a lot of those records then stood through the
Speaker 2: next Olympics and everyone's like, oh, the suits, wasn't the
Speaker 2: suits and so uh so again like the people feel
Speaker 2: free to go ahead and look into it, but the
Speaker 2: the you know it just and by the way, I
Speaker 2: want to say one other thing about uh hold, let
Speaker 2: me let me see this real quick. So again as
Speaker 2: of the well, I'm not going to get into it further.
Speaker 2: People aren't worried about it right now. But the Olympics
Speaker 2: are coming up, and I guarantee what I here's what
Speaker 2: you're not gonna see in these Olympics. Multiple races where
Speaker 2: someone sets a world record and doesn't win the race.
Speaker 2: That's pretty rare. Who's happening left and right in the
Speaker 2: swimming pool and at the eight Olympic Games. All right, demons,
Speaker 2: let's go through some of these listener questions.
Speaker 3: Tory Spears says, Nick's breakdown of Lebron versus Jordan Coat
Speaker 3: debate is my favorite moment. I use that video all
Speaker 3: the time for proof.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, oh well, thank you listen. I there are
Speaker 2: certain things that take on like a viral life of
Speaker 2: their own that that I'm like, sometimes when I do it,
Speaker 2: I know what's gonna happen. Sometimes when I don't know
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. Uh. And then people you know who
Speaker 2: have never watched the show. Never even watched the pod,
Speaker 2: but have seen the viral video, will see me and
Speaker 2: say something about it, and that video is one of them.
Speaker 4: All right, go ahead, a clip is storm storm Born.
Speaker 4: I love you guys.
Speaker 3: My favorite moment of these first two hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: episodes is the inception story.
Speaker 2: Oh an embarrassing. I probably shouldn't have I probably shouldn't
Speaker 2: have admitted to that on the air. All right, let's
Speaker 2: keep rolling.
Speaker 3: Craig Barnett said peak moment was Demonse's dinosaur denial.
Speaker 4: I was fake.
Speaker 2: So that was when Demand was brand new to the
Speaker 2: pod and was I think trying to be funny and
Speaker 2: still a little bit gets like the weird feeling in
Speaker 2: his stomach when someone brings it up, because I feel
Speaker 2: like Demanse feels like people think he's dumb because of it.
Speaker 2: When he was trying to be like, trying to be
Speaker 2: funny and didn't deliver it. You delivered it too credibly,
Speaker 2: like you were so deadpan about not being sure about dinosaurs,
Speaker 2: and we live in a time where a lot of
Speaker 2: people are not sure about anything that they were like, oh,
Speaker 2: Demand is one of those, so that's kind of haunted
Speaker 2: you video. Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 3: All right, Uh so we got Mike ce favorite moment
Speaker 3: is every episode that Nick gets fired up. I love
Speaker 3: the segments. I love you being so latable.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Oh that's so much, thank you, Mike. And will Kick
Speaker 2: two says, my favorite episodes are the ones with your
Speaker 2: wife and father in law. That's actually her grandfather, so
Speaker 2: that the so that is the man you guys have
Speaker 2: seen on here a couple of times. Is not my
Speaker 2: wife's dad. That's my wife's grandfather who turned or is
Speaker 2: about to turn ninety four, turns ninety four here in
Speaker 2: a few weeks. All right, let's go to Ramer eighty four.
Speaker 3: Demonse Ramer eighty four said, this pot is great. I
Speaker 3: am British, live in England, but I'm a big NFL
Speaker 3: Broncos fan. The growth of demons on here, the family
Speaker 3: interactions or the highlights the chiefs winning is the low light,
Speaker 3: smiley face.
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, Andrew Meyer says, the Beijing pool
Speaker 2: was the first pool three deep at the Olympics, which
Speaker 2: creates less water disturbance and faster times. Go ahead and
Speaker 2: believe that if you want, I'm gonna go ahead with
Speaker 2: Okham's razor. The simplest explanations. Probably the right one pool
Speaker 2: was a couple inches too short, and in races where
Speaker 2: hundreds of second, hundredths of seconds determine world records, the
Speaker 2: pool is too short. I'll believe that till the day
Speaker 2: I die. And by the way, here's here's all i'd ask.
Speaker 2: Here's all i'd ask. It's still there. Someone go, as
Speaker 2: president g if if you can stop by with a
Speaker 2: measuring tape, that's what i'd like. I'd like a measuring
Speaker 2: tape and somebody to go show me. That's all I'm
Speaker 2: I'm down for evidence. But for some reason, I'm not
Speaker 2: sure if you have access to that part of the
Speaker 2: old water cube. I'm just curious. ID his questions just
Speaker 2: questions that I think weren't asking. What's chasing Felix.
Speaker 3: Say best podcast moment, Nick's story about his summer internship
Speaker 3: where he spent months being George kin Stanza and doing
Speaker 3: nothing but wandering the building.
Speaker 2: Yeah that was great. That was an old timer, man.
Speaker 2: It's the only office job I've ever had. An internship
Speaker 2: at Sprint when I was nineteen years old. Three days
Speaker 2: into it, my boss got laid off and I never
Speaker 2: got reassigned, and I just came in and read Bill
Speaker 2: Simmons columns and took naps in the This is I
Speaker 2: shouldn't have done this again. I was a teenager. I apologize,
Speaker 2: but they had a couple of rooms downstairs that I
Speaker 2: didn't know. I honest to God, just an idiot teenager.
Speaker 2: I didn't know what nursing room went meant. I was like,
Speaker 2: why nurse. I just thought it was like like for
Speaker 2: little kids, like, but there was just a room with
Speaker 2: a chair. There were three of them, and back to
Speaker 2: back to back there were dark rooms with a chair.
Speaker 2: But now I know obviously it was for mothers that
Speaker 2: were you know, that were just nursing. And I would
Speaker 2: just go in there and sleep and go to the movies,
Speaker 2: come back, clock out. And with like a week left
Speaker 2: in the internship, I got email like you've been assigned
Speaker 2: to me, and I'm like, well, my summer's over, so
Speaker 2: thank you. And so I did whatever I was asked
Speaker 2: to do. It's not my fault they fired my boss.
Speaker 2: Yeah you think I did. Ye. I did an internship
Speaker 2: at Sprint for the experience.
Speaker 4: Like what.
Speaker 2: Nick Wright muse fave episode was when you was yours
Speaker 2: first time coasting with Nick. That's very nice. Um, what
Speaker 2: does Dusty say? Demise?
Speaker 3: Dusty said, question, are we going to get a weekly
Speaker 3: in CUAA twenty five minute twenty five minute from twenty
Speaker 3: five minutes from Nick updating the Syracuse Dynasty status, much
Speaker 3: like the F one segment.
Speaker 2: Well, no, listen, here's the deal. I need to actually
Speaker 2: close the deal and win a national championship at Syracuse,
Speaker 2: and then my coach needs to be offered his dream job,
Speaker 2: which is the head coach University of Southern California. Those
Speaker 2: two things happen. Once that happens, I will actually play
Speaker 2: the game until I am not allowing myself to actually
Speaker 2: play a game until I build a champion. And I've
Speaker 2: come close again. We've made the College Football Playoff twice.
Speaker 2: But it's a big you know, a lot to do.
Speaker 3: I think you should what I don't know. I mean
Speaker 3: you're talking streaming or you I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I think you should.
Speaker 3: I think you play the game if you not played
Speaker 3: a single exhibition game. No, yeah, that's that's really I.
Speaker 2: Just started dynasties. I took over Syracuse and I'm building
Speaker 2: a program. That's what I'm doing. That's what I'm saying
Speaker 2: I'm recruiting players and I'm building a program. I also,
Speaker 2: oddly have am way oversaturated at the tight end position.
Speaker 2: I have like six tight ends that are eighty two
Speaker 2: or better, but you can't get them all on the field.
Speaker 2: Old guys are getting a little annoyed in me about
Speaker 2: playing time. Also, sometimes these guys threatened to transfer, and
Speaker 2: I lie to him. I'm like, I'm like, I'll change
Speaker 2: my playing style, but I don't.
Speaker 4: Like you get pop ups from the thing.
Speaker 2: Like at the end of the year. It's like this guy,
Speaker 2: this guy's gonna transfer, and it's like, why are you
Speaker 2: gonna transfer? It's like playing time or playing style. And
Speaker 2: to try to convince him to stay. There was one guy.
Speaker 2: There was a quarterback this I feel I felt badly
Speaker 2: about this to this fake guy. This guy was a
Speaker 2: junior going into his junior year. He was like an
Speaker 2: eighty six overall quarterback and he hadn't played because there
Speaker 2: was a senior ahead of him, and he threatened to transfer.
Speaker 2: But I really had to convince him to stay because
Speaker 2: the senior was graduating and this guy was ready. So
Speaker 2: I convinced him to stay. And then my five star
Speaker 2: quarter freshman true freshman quarterback. After the offseason camp, all
Speaker 2: of a sudden he was in eighty five rating. So
Speaker 2: it's like I got this junior who's in eighty six
Speaker 2: or a freshman who's in eighty five. So once again
Speaker 2: he didn't get to play. And then after the season,
Speaker 2: demons I had too many people on my roster and
Speaker 2: I told him to transfer. I clicked the button, like, buddy,
Speaker 2: you need to you need to leave. I felt really bad.
Speaker 2: I love it so much. I missed doing this so much.
Speaker 2: Like you're laughing, I don't have the TV show today
Speaker 2: and I don't go to the US Open thing till three,
Speaker 2: and it might be like, oh, Carm's in from Chicago.
Speaker 2: What are you guys gonna do? Probably recruit players. That's
Speaker 2: probably what.
Speaker 4: We're gonna do, is you know.
Speaker 2: What I mean. That's here's the thing about whether or
Speaker 2: not Carm's down for it. Karm is getting to audition
Speaker 2: to be a US Open ball boy today thanks to
Speaker 2: his old buddy Nick Wright. So if he has to
Speaker 2: sit there and watch me recruit make believe high schoolers
Speaker 2: in the year twenty thirty, he's just gonna have to
Speaker 2: deal with it, all right. So this was a fun show.
Speaker 2: There is no TV show today because on FS one
Speaker 2: is the US Women's exhibition game against Germany. Appreciate everybody
