1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that uh, Chuck Norris was chasing the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: The rex was not chasing the jeep. Murray, Murray, you there.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: You love sandwiches. Huh, Let's go to uh eighty.

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: He is bo wow that Prime Time maybe had a

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 2: crush on Betty Rubbell.

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman was black.

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: He caught them the game last night, although they won

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: the game. You're listening just to Godson Company.

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: It is to gods the Company presented by fan Duel.

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: Mamoni Jones is with us, always nice enough to spend

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: some time with us, the right time with Bamani Jones.

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: Wherever you get your podcast is real goodyeres on the

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: zoom tailor as well as he will be upset by

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: this first question. He's tired of me talking about Michael Jordan,

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: I think and his greatness. So, Bomani, will Michael Jordan

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: have a better career as a NASCAR owner than Lebron

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: James has.

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: Had as a basketball player?

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: You know, I gotta tell you something, man, When I

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 3: when I used to do highly questionable Yes, I figured

22
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: out a very interesting angle slash approach, which was Poppy

23
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 3: would say something crazy, right, and I would then find

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: some kernel that could be pulled out and turned into

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: something coherent, right. And so it became that. And since

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: you made me aware that you were going to ask

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: this question, I have been actively seeking this kernel. And

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 3: I mean I've looked bad, I've dug deep, I've tried hard,

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 3: and I just can't quite figure out how to legitimize

30
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: this one.

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: But I can.

32
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: Say this, how about Lebron get himself a n ask cartee. Yes,

33
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: I'd just be I'd just be curious to see how

34
00:01:58,960 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: this goes.

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: If if he could get himself.

36
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 3: A NASCAR team and then they you know, they they

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 3: they do get out.

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm glad you're confused by this too.

39
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 4: Bo, because I too, am confused by his premise that

40
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 4: I would be upset with him. I'm not sure, Taylor,

41
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 4: who was the last time we talked Michael Jordan. I

42
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 4: don't even know where that came from. I mean, I

43
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 4: bring him up anytime I can. I think we did

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 4: it last week on the radio show. I'm only bringing

45
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 4: up the fact that Jordan has won three consecutive races

46
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 4: as an owner Okay, and you know Lebron has won

47
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: four titles as an NBA player, He's the same thing one.

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: Race as an NBA title. Okay, I didn't realize that

49
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: was the equivalent. You know, they came down Jordan and them.

50
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: It was I forget but his name and like Tyler

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 3: or Tyson or something like that. He's like, he's not like,

52
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: want to Taylor's friends.

53
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: What's his name? Tyler Reddickler Redick. There we go. Oh

54
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: that could mean that could go a bunch of different directions.

55
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: So anyway, Like, I do think that those three wins

56
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 3: are interesting. Two guys who's acted like he came back

57
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 3: down three one to the greatest team of all time

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: in order to pull that one off.

59
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: I'm just comparing rings because it's the laziest thing to do,

60
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: and I'm lazy bomani that's it.

61
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, no, no, no, no no, But like we

62
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: need to there was a time where I feel like

63
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: we would have absolutely got Lebron out there making that happen.

64
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: Like, let's let's see.

65
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 3: I just go, hey man, look Mike, and Mike is

66
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 3: already a NASCAR legend.

67
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: He went out there, he got in that lawsuit.

68
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know he went out there scrapped it out

69
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 3: with these people. Also, let us I mean, it's twenty

70
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 3: twenty six, but it'll be twenty eighty six and Michael

71
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: George's black ass owner a NASCAR team still gonna be

72
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: You know that feels kind of historic.

73
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: It does, and he's great at it because he's great.

74
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: He's the greatest to have ever lived. Taylor made a

75
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: comment a couple of weeks ago. I laughed him off

76
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: the fucking radio. He said that Charlotte Hornets are going

77
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: for it. Bomani Jones. Are the Charlotte Hornets going for it?

78
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: What do you mean by it? The chapman, I said, vote,

79
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: I mean like you.

80
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: Mean like they're going for it this year or it's

81
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: a realistic possibility.

82
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: Bomani.

83
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 5: All I'm saying is the last thirty two games, the

84
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 5: highest net rating in the NBA belongs to the Charlotte Hornets.

85
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean they're going for it.

86
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 3: They perhaps would like to have it, but hey man,

87
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 3: let's be fair to them. They have three guys that

88
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 3: one could argue are very good players.

89
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got LaMelo and.

90
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: My buddy Rod, who watches a Hornet season ticket holder,

91
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: and he obviously watches the Hornets more than me. He

92
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 3: swears to me that LaMelo is not a loser, right,

93
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: like he is adamant that he's not. I mean, I

94
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 3: guess what I'm saying, And so it is my respect

95
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: for him that makes me say, maybe LaMelo isn't a loser,

96
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 3: but like I and I ain't watching them any of

97
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: their games, but he has the statistical profile of a

98
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 3: loser like like And that's not to say he don't

99
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 3: have a lot of points, but a lot of losers

100
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: score a lot of points. But they say he not

101
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: a loser. I think Brandon Miller's good. And then they

102
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: got a what's his name? Hey, yeah, this is this

103
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 3: is this is gonna be interesting with this conk nipple thing.

104
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: The whites. You got like a local white. You know

105
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. It's best odd couple in sports. LaMelo LaMelo,

106
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

107
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 3: And by the way, shout out to everybody who is

108
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 3: relieved to find out and also the rest of you

109
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 3: who are a little disappointed to find out that his

110
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: middle name does not start with the K.

111
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 4: But that's okay because all of his siblings start with

112
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 4: the K, so it's in there.

113
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 2: Somewhere. Yeah, yeah, but I do.

114
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: I do think like when you as a white person

115
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: like Gary Kubiak also on this list, like when you

116
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: make this decision that you're going to do this, the

117
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: fact that it never dawns on you that maybe this

118
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: isn't the best idea, you know what I'm.

119
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 2: Saying, Like not not once.

120
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: Like if somebody was from LA and lived in like

121
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 3: black people La, they would be very careful about having

122
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 3: back to back KK because it might seem like, you know,

123
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 3: you got a problem with the crypts.

124
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: They would this would be in their minds. Yes, I

125
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 2: just don't.

126
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: Know how this isn't in your.

127
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: Mind or is it trying not to do that. I

128
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: don't want to do that.

129
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 3: Like, for example, I cut Steve Kerr some slack, yeah,

130
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: because for those of you who don't know, he has

131
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 3: a son named Nicholas that has to go by Nicholas.

132
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: Because when your last name is Kerr, it is a

133
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: little difficult to go by Nick. There needs to be

134
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: a serious level of nunciation when you say your name

135
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 3: is Nick. It was a family name, right, I don't know,

136
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: I don't care, right, but you have to say yeah.

137
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

138
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 3: You sometimes like I got a buddy whose name is

139
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: Hughes and his last name starts with it S. So

140
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: he's very careful about separating the two because other because

141
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: otherwise you think his name is Hugh. Anyway, I understand you.

142
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 3: Steve Curry just didn't think about it. And I'm understanding,

143
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 3: is he rules the fact that he did not consider

144
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: him but on the board, totally get it.

145
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: Yes, double K thing. It's tough bo.

146
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: There's a K and Luke Cornett who was complaining about

147
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 4: Magic City Night in Atlanta, and I was laughing at

148
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: Magic City Night because there's all the details of it,

149
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 4: you know, the owner of Atlanta being involved in the documentary.

150
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 4: It's all for money, it's all not just to celebrate

151
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 4: an institution.

152
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: But I just wanted to get your thoughts on that.

153
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: And then it's funny how Luke Cornett calls it out

154
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 4: and then everybody says, no, no, no, you have to

155
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 4: call out every injustice in all of sports if you're

156
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 4: going to call out this one. And I'm just like, Okay,

157
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 4: nobody's gonna say anything anymore.

158
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I saw a little bit of it. I

159
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: was a little.

160
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: I was intrigued by the fact that he cared enough

161
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: to share this.

162
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: Right people he plays in San Antonio.

163
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll also note I thought that what he

164
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: said was very thoughtful. I think the outrage machine just

165
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: jumps on the idea of somebody coming down on this,

166
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 3: and I think that there's the people feeling as though

167
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: he's ruining their fun. And then there is the next

168
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: level of extrapolation that is the most like twenty first

169
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: century of it all, which is him and not showing

170
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: adequate respect for the sex workers.

171
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: I mean, it really wasn't that long ago that we

172
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: kind of look.

173
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: I say this as somebody, I tell you by the

174
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 3: time the first, the second, the third, the fourth, and

175
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: the fifth time I went to Badon City, they all

176
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 3: have distinct like stories and reasons that they stick out

177
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: in my head. I am not approved when it comes

178
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: to strip clubs, but the idea that it is exploitation

179
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 3: is not foreign, right, Like it is not and Lada

180
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 3: is a little bit different because it's so mainstreamed into

181
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 3: the culture. But like when you go to strip clubs

182
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 3: in places that are not really Atlanta, there's a couple

183
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: of others.

184
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: Man, that ship is sad. Oh yeah, you know, like

185
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: you get in there yeah, no, no, no, you get

186
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: in there.

187
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 3: You just kind of like, hey man, this is like

188
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: nobody's nobody wants to be here. The patrons don't want

189
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 3: to be here, the girls, everyone's looking at each other.

190
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 3: It doesn't it doesn't feel like a party, right, Atlanta

191
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: is different.

192
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: It does.

193
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: It's like like Maddi City is like a certain des

194
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 3: lay situation.

195
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: All of this stuff. However, I do not.

196
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: I did not think it was appropriate to do a

197
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 3: night at the arena.

198
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: Like the strip club is not a place for families.

199
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: Right, the same people complain about Pride Night. It's different, right,

200
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: walk into a strip club. Tell me the one guy

201
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: you see that brought his kids?

202
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, like that's not like like a basketball game

203
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 3: is something completely different than that. Now Here is how

204
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: I think they get around this, which is basically everything

205
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: in the announcement about Magic City Night was like, there's

206
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: gonna be a TI concert at halftime, and they were

207
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 3: talking about the wings. What about the girls if it's

208
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: Magic City? Yeah yeah, where are the girls? Oh wait

209
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: a minute, that's right. It's wildly inappropriate to have the

210
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: girls at a basketball game, which is why.

211
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 2: This is a crazy idea.

212
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 3: You know what, I mean like I'm not I'm not

213
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: like wildly offended in all of this stuff.

214
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: But no, this is not this is not what it's

215
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 2: supposed to be.

216
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: You know where I would rather be the Magic City

217
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: night at the at the arena, Magic City, That's where,

218
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: and I won't have to watch the fucking Hall.

219
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 4: In fact, you ask them to change the television if

220
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: the Hawks are on the TV.

221
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there are TV's, there are TVs.

222
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 3: But there's another irony to this, which is an understanding

223
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: of how Atlanta became this strip club city and so

224
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: for these loose rules that they had, and I can't

225
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 3: tell you all the particulars, but it was intentional that

226
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: the city created laws that were amenable to having a

227
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 3: bunch of strip clubs. And the reason was they figured

228
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 3: that having a bunch of strip clubs would make the

229
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: city attractive for conferences and conventions that all these industries,

230
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: like we think about with the time period was these

231
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: are all men went out of town, and so they're like, cool,

232
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 3: we'll just have strip clubs all over the place for you.

233
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: And it's just impossible to explain how many strip clubs

234
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: there are in Atlanta, right Like they're they're just a

235
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: giant number of them. But anyway, the point of those

236
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: strip clubs, ironically, was not so that they could exist

237
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: for the locals. They were there for the out of towners,

238
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: and then it became this mainstream part of the local

239
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: culture again, a part of the culture that I thoroughly enjoy.

240
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 3: But some things we're supposed to whisper about, you know

241
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.

242
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: It's interesting. I'd watch a thirty minute documentary about that.

243
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm done to ask Bomani about all five of the

244
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: stories he has from each of the first five appearances.

245
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: But I can't because you have to whisper these things. Yeah, well, yeah,

246
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 2: you know.

247
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 3: But I'll also say this, I feel like the way

248
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 3: that we talk about strip club like out in public,

249
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 3: it's kind of like what's happened with we legalization. It

250
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 3: is much more fun going to the ATM getting cash

251
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: and having a covert transaction with someone than it is

252
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: to pay with your debit card.

253
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 2: Yes, in front of a cop.

254
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 3: It's just not as much fun doing get that way.

255
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 2: Wait, you can pay for a dance with a debit card? Well,

256
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: actually that was me talking about weed.

257
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 3: But there are you could go to a club now

258
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 3: and a girl will put her heel on something where

259
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: there will be a QR code that will allow you to.

260
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: Cash at her. I love QR codes. The end of civilization.

261
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, i'd say it is though. That right there,

262
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 3: that's a that's a handy dandy. That's a handy dandy move.

263
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yes, I've told the story before. Beauman. He was

264
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: such a better time where I used to.

265
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: Go to a place called the tie Door and I

266
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: would stick my hand I knocking.

267
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: We're talking about weed again. Yeah, we're talking about weed.

268
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: We're talking about yeah, yeah, we're talking about weed.

269
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, sorry, I moved away from the strip club

270
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: by driving around, I'm looking for to score some weed,

271
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: and I would stop at a place called the tie Door.

272
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: I'd knock on the door. He would open a little

273
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: kind of sliding window there. He'd stick his hand out,

274
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: he'd hand me the weed. I'd put my hand in,

275
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: give him the twenty dollars, and I'd never see that

276
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: man's face. I don't want to see that man's face.

277
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: But I felt like I was moments away from getting arrested,

278
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: and it felt good.

279
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, make you feel real, yeah, you.

00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 7: and Why in New.

315
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: York the right time with Bamani Jones, there's no way

316
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: to transition out of weed and strip clubs.

317
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: Well maybe there is, I'm just not thinking of it.

318
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: Right down of Boston the Celtics, Jason Tatum, let me tell.

319
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: You what there is not in Boston.

320
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 3: Boston. I mean to the Magic City and they had

321
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: Maddie City Night in Boston. Oh, it would be some protests.

322
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 3: It would be giving not one damn about some girls,

323
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: but it would be a protest.

324
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: You'll laugh at this. Just back to the Hawks. I'll

325
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: get to the Boston to the second. My friend is

326
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: the president of business operations for the Atlanta Hawks, one

327
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: of my best friends. Yes, so you knowing me the

328
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: way I do and knowing the people that I grew

329
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: up with, and that with no surprise to you that

330
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: he pulled this off, right.

331
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: No, no, no, none, none. Yeah, a lot of money

332
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: Celtics Jason Tatum.

333
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: The people that are saying don't bring Tatum back because

334
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: the team is playing well with Adam, to me is absurd.

335
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum went healthy, one of the ten fifteen best

336
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: players in the world, and he only makes your team better.

337
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Celtics and bringing him

338
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: back here?

339
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I have to operate on the assumption that

340
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 3: everybody involved understands what they're doing here, right, Yeah, Like,

341
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: I think it's crazy. For everything I've ever known about,

342
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 3: like what a recovery from an achilles.

343
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: Tear is, it seems preposterous to me.

344
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: Now I do know that what is very unique about

345
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 3: the situation, and I don't know why it's unique, but

346
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: it is very unique. Is that they got him on

347
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 3: the table the day after the tear, and that apparently

348
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 3: is much faster Dominique Wilkins, who had a miraculous Achilles

349
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 3: recovery in nineteen ninety three. I want to say it

350
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 3: was the year. They got him on the table the

351
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 3: next day, as I understand it. So, I feel like

352
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: everybody has a lot invested in this, right Tatum obviously

353
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 3: his body forget about the money, but he's got that

354
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 3: invested in this. The Celtics they got a lot of

355
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 3: money left to pay him on that deal. The fact

356
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: that everybody is going for this implies to me that

357
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 3: it's not unsafe, right. Maybe they do this with a

358
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: like he's not gonna pay thirty five minutes a game

359
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: or something like this.

360
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: I do think though, that if he can.

361
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: Play this year, you start to process this year and

362
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 3: get all those like I'm scared games out of the

363
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 3: way so you don't drag it into next year. But

364
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 3: let us also not forget the reason that they are

365
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 3: here and they are in this situation is that I

366
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: don't know about how the whole franchise felt but I know,

367
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 3: my man, Joe Missoula found the idea of tanking out

368
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: the season absolutely offensive, and that was something they were

369
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: never going to do.

370
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 2: And the whole reason.

371
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 3: That there's even a thought of bringing Jason Tatum back

372
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 3: is these guys refused to be a bunch of losers

373
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: and decided that they was gonna try and guess what,

374
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 3: they have a chance to win the East.

375
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 4: They even made the Anfredy Simon's move that I thought, hey,

376
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 4: that's a nice.

377
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 2: Piece for them.

378
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 4: They moved off from of him during the trade deadline

379
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 4: and still are like make again, making moves that seem

380
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 4: like they're going one way but are going the other direction.

381
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 2: And it's just been crazy impressive.

382
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 4: But here's my thought when it comes to Jason Tatum

383
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 4: bo is he's not a guy that you can slide

384
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 4: in with other players and say, hey, fit in.

385
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: Obviously that's what happened in the Olympics. He's super talented,

386
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: but he needs the ball.

387
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 4: He needs all that, and so can he and I

388
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 4: think this is where his thinking is, can he go

389
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 4: ahead and just sort of plug and play without demanding

390
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 4: the ball, without you know, the usage rate going through

391
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 4: the roof and then you see the rustiness and you

392
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 4: see the lack of chemistry. There is it a style

393
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 4: of plaything that maybe even he is recognizing, Hey, maybe

394
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 4: I will mess up this chemistry more than people think.

395
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there is a great question that you

396
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 3: asked there. I also think, and I G if you

397
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: got the angel devil shoulder situation that the angel is like, well,

398
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 3: you know what if I come in and you know,

399
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 3: I mess up the system and the chemistry, and then

400
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 3: the other angel is like.

401
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: What if they are just fine without me? That was

402
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 2: his problem?

403
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: But I will ask you this, what if the move

404
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 3: is to basically turn him into something that we really

405
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 3: don't see in the NBA anymore. We still have very

406
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: good bench players who are still six men, but we

407
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: ain't got a lot of Vinnie Johnson's no more, right

408
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 3: even like now that like Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford

409
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 3: out of the NBA.

410
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: I mean six men whose.

411
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 3: Entire job is let's get some buckets right fast. I

412
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: can play as hard as I can get these buckets

413
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: and go sit down. If the Celtics have room for that,

414
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 3: this could mean imagine telling Jason Tatum, all you got

415
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: to do fifteen minutes, put up every shot you can.

416
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and here's the carrot at the end of that.

417
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 4: Hey, and you might be able to steal back that

418
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 4: NBA Finals MVP that Dalen Brown took from you. Go

419
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 4: out there and score twenty minutes of fifteen minutes of play,

420
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 4: twenty points and fifteen minutes of play.

421
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 3: I think their problems are not even problems where this

422
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 3: is going to get weirdest next year because Jaylen Brown,

423
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: who we were all chastising very recently for his inability.

424
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: To dribble yes since then, is one.

425
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 3: Of Finals MVP and has played legitimate, beit MVP caliber

426
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 3: basketball this Yes, Like, but you're gonna go I mean,

427
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: I think all of us that assume that it's a

428
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 3: Tatum one a Brown one B.

429
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 2: They're like the same age.

430
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 3: Basically they're one year apart, So there's no there'll never

431
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: be a transition, right or like all right, like magic

432
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: becomes the guy your Kareem steps back. That's never gonna

433
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 3: be on the board. So what are they going to

434
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 3: be next year? When Jaylen Brown is like, I mean,

435
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 3: I think we did pretty good with me. I thought

436
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: you guys are pretty happy with with what.

437
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: You got, right, They're fighting for one A. You're right

438
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 2: right right? Are you telling me this wasn't good enough?

439
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 2: Hey man?

440
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: Other than the other than the Broad and Wade heat

441
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 3: which took some time to get right to. If I'm

442
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: not mistaken, like this is the only team that's really

443
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 3: gotten it done where your top two players are two

444
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 3: and a three.

445
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean you could argue the Bucks with

446
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 4: Middleton and Giannis or maybe but.

447
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like these guys play to say position right,

448
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 3: they do the same stuff.

449
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: Yes, yep, o mine.

450
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 5: Where are you at with the Knicks right now? Because

451
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 5: it feels like they're winning against the Spurs? What's huge for.

452
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: No? Now, I'm distracted. No, no, no, no, because you

453
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: know you.

454
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: Have a chance, because you can tell us the Knicks

455
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: have a chance, and the Knicks have a chance.

456
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 2: But you laughed at him the second he brought up

457
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: the next.

458
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 3: No, I laughed at him because you know, when you

459
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: don't live in New York and you're surrounded by Knicks

460
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 3: fans who I actually think get a bit of a

461
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 3: bad rap. They jump the gun a little bit, but

462
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 3: they just really want their team to be good. They're

463
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 3: wildly optimistic and after like nine years of living here,

464
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 3: I view them like with a certain tenderness that I

465
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 3: didn't have before because they would just always come up

466
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 3: to me just be like, man, can you please just

467
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 3: tell me something good?

468
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I don't yeah, yeah, yeah,

469
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 2: Like I don't think.

470
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 3: I don't think Knicks fans are as obnoxious as we think,

471
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 3: but when they are ubnachious of course, But I think

472
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 3: they've been sufficiently humbled by the last twenty.

473
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: Five years of basketball.

474
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: Okay, I smile because living here, I am so much

475
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 3: more invested in the Knicks being good. Because if the

476
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 3: Knicks are good, living here is so much better.

477
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

478
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 3: Everybody's just in a better mood, right, like going out

479
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 3: to restaurants and stuff like that.

480
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 2: You know.

481
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the weather, Like think about this, if they

482
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 3: make a deep playoff run, the weather's gonna start being good.

483
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's gonna be some bad ones.

484
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 3: Wearing jersey dresses, you know what I'm saying. Like, like

485
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 3: all of these things come together. I have said all

486
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 3: year long, the Knicks there, there's no reason that the

487
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 3: Knicks can't win the East, you know, And they fired

488
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 3: their coach last year after to go to the conference finals,

489
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 3: which implies that they think they should win the East. Right,

490
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 3: they absolutely have a chance because everybody in the East

491
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 3: has a chance because the best team in the East

492
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 3: hasn't won a playoff series for right, So, like, to me,

493
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 3: this makes it feel like everything is wide open.

494
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 2: We don't.

495
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 3: It's just happened with Minnesota, and I think this also

496
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 3: happened with the Knicks. We're not giving either of those

497
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 3: teams any credit for the recent playoff success that they've had,

498
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: like the idea that perhaps that what they're doing is

499
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: building off what they've done, Like Minnesota's made the conference

500
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 3: finals two years in a row, and nobody's sitting here like, yo,

501
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 3: is this the year they get over the top?

502
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 5: You know?

503
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: It is basically the same team this year that they

504
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 2: had last year. Nobody does that.

505
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: So I do think that the Knicks have a chance,

506
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 3: except for the fact that the two best players don't

507
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 3: play any defense, and one of them is Carl.

508
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: That's the problem.

509
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 3: Michael Bridges is a little weird and doesn't like, you know,

510
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 3: doesn't like contact in any form or fashion. Like they've

511
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 3: got everything you need and they've got all the problems

512
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 3: all at the same time. It's the weirdest thing but

513
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 3: I would really like for them to do it.

514
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take that, Taylor, how about you? I will?

515
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel better, I'll sign up for it.

516
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 5: I wish Karl Anthony Towns wasn't on the next But

517
00:24:59,080 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 5: it just depends.

518
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 2: On when ask about the Knicks, man, because hey, they

519
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: win eight in a row. Let me talk about the Knicks.

520
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: They lost two out of five to the Pistons. Oh,

521
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: let's not talk about the Knicks. Yes, lost to the Cavs.

522
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 2: Let's not talk about the Knicks. They beat the Spurs.

523
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Knicks.

524
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 3: Yes, And by the way, there was no chance they

525
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: were going to beat the Spurs in that game. Into

526
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 3: that road trip and it's a Sunday one o'clock.

527
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: Tip in New York City. Win. Yeah, the Spurs, We're

528
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: gonna win. Right, That's the.

529
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 3: Greatest whole court advantage the Knicks with a home game

530
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 3: at one o'clock on a Sunday on that team's only

531
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: trip to New York.

532
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 2: Right.

533
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So they should play all their playoff games

534
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: one o'clock on a weekend.

535
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 2: They should. Yes.

536
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 4: Do they actually sell jersey dresses in all NBA teams

537
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 4: or is it just like two, because I've only seen

538
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 4: women wear Knicks ones and maybe Lakers ones.

539
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 3: It's a fair question that you asked there, I've ever

540
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: seen somebody in Indianapolis where the Pacers jersey. I'm gonna

541
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 3: be honest with you, I don't even know the last

542
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 3: time I saw.

543
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 2: Well bring them back? They were?

544
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 3: They were, they were, they were a fascinating decision that

545
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 3: worked out.

546
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: Okay, by money, We'll get you out of here in

547
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: a second. We were discussing this, Yes, today, would you

548
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: want to be seven five if being seven to five

549
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: met being Victor Webbin Yama.

550
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 3: No, I can't imagine how inconvenient like being seven five is.

551
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 3: But I also can't imagine how cool it is to

552
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 3: be able to do everything and be seven five right

553
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 3: like he is. He is the the ultimate creative player

554
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 3: situation like I am fascinated by how Victor and Anthony

555
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 3: Edwards to be are my two favorite players for very

556
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: similar reasons, but two people who probably couldn't possibly be

557
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 3: any more different right right now.

558
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 2: But I still want to see him on the same

559
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: team at some point for something that would be amazing.

560
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 3: I would pay everything in the world to watch Anthony

561
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 3: Edwards drive Victor Windbanyama around Atlanta, specifically the Atlanta that

562
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards knows and understands. And then the counterpoint, I

563
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 3: guess Wells has now already been to Paris because of

564
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 3: the Olympics, because say, but then if we could see

565
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 3: Victor Way and but Yama just taking Anthony Edwards.

566
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 2: To Paris, I would also watch a thirty minute documentary

567
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 2: on that. Yeah yea, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, Like this

568
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: is like Anthony Edwards. I just I don't.

569
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 3: We're going to see how long he's okay with whatever

570
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 3: they're doing in Minnesota. And I think it's tricky now

571
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 3: the idea to go somewhere to win, because they made

572
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 3: it so hard for anybody to win.

573
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 2: You know, or to put together the things that you have.

574
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: But I got watched that game they played against Denver,

575
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 3: and Edwards now, shit, man, he's got to be what

576
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 3: twenty five?

577
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 2: I am amazed. That is crazy. It feels like he's

578
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: been around for two decades.

579
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I am amazed at what a great leader

580
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 3: he is at twenty five. It's the same thing with

581
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 3: Victor twenty four. Yeah's twenty four, like five, sorry, yeah, Blake, Victor,

582
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 3: that's his team down there.

583
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, thish means something to him, right, It is very

584
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 2: important to him.

585
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 3: And but I wonder when the thunder is going to

586
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: start realizing it's a lot of teams that hate them,

587
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 3: and the top of the list is the Spurs, and

588
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 3: they're going to have to figure out how to start

589
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 3: hating back. Like, they got a lot of real nice

590
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 3: young men on that team, but it's a bunch of

591
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 3: dudes out here that hate them.

592
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, Edwards thing is interesting too because to me,

593
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 4: it's like he feels like, Wow, we're getting to the

594
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 4: second round, third round of the NBA playoffs, and then

595
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 4: he's starting to look around and be like, oh, it's

596
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 4: all because of me.

597
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 2: I don't It doesn't matter who's around me.

598
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 4: Now, put a couple of pieces around me, I could

599
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 4: probably win this thing.

600
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: It's a matter of time before he figures that out. Yes,

601
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: he's just like nas read, I mean, you're real cool.

602
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 3: Hey hey no no, no no, I love playing with you.

603
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 3: In fact, I love to play with all of you guys.

604
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 3: Just need somebody to be better than you. Like he

605
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 3: got to the conference finals one year with Carl Towns

606
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 3: and the next year with Julius Randall, but he's dragging

607
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: all the guys that we've.

608
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: Seen beat the problem.

609
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: About money seven to five roughly a billion north of

610
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: a billion dollars, and you have that athletic ability.

611
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: It's different. I'm not asking you to be bo bad.

612
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: I'm asking what I'll make you work?

613
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 3: Like you give me a billion down, you're right at

614
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: Boba money. Nah, I ain't doing this right being victor.

615
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 3: Like I would love to know how much money his

616
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: parents had to spend on clothes, because you know, you

617
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 3: can't just get nothing at the store. And I think

618
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 3: he's got like a sister and a brother that are

619
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 3: both like they're not seven five, but they're both super tall.

620
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: Like this was they parents. Man, they had a tough

621
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: go of it. Yeah during the growth spurt. Probably have

622
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: to buy new clothes every week. Yeah, imagine the pain

623
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: just to be that athletic. Though, this is a different

624
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: seven five. Where do you buy? Where do you buy

625
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: a bed? At seven five? You have somewhere find one

626
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:31,960
