8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: State first for a quote that could save you hundreds.

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: You're in good hands with all States savings. Very terms

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: apply All State Fire and Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois.

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: So what do you think I should do with the

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: Durant stuff on Twitter?

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of like kind hearted, but like

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 3: given his situation right now, it's kind hearted.

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: And so here's the when I say, what do you

16
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: think I should do with it? Because this last time

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 2: was some random person that tweeted him about me. It's

18
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: not like I had said anything about him or mentioned

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: him or anything. The question is, because it's Kevin Durant,

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: should I acknowledge it and respond to it every time?

21
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: Or should I ignore? I feel like an oblig gash

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: to reply to reply because it's Kevin durant.

23
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 3: But you know, I mean, the god thinks he's a god,

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: so he probably thinks you are going to reply to him.

25
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 3: So I just treat him like a regular fan and

26
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: just be like, no, this.

27
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 2: Is something maybe we can get into it. If people

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: didn't see it, the tweets were he said, anyone do

29
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: my job? He said I was trash. He said I

30
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 2: make millions of dollars, So that part was and he

31
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: called me everything except for the name I go by,

32
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: which isn't.

33
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 4: It Welcome in.

43
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: All that coming out in future episodes, But before we

44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: get into today's show, we must discuss what we are

45
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: not discussing it's just a little method to get into

46
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: the show. So what's not on today's show. The NFL

47
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: schedule releases not on today's show because it comes out

48
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: Thursday night and we are recording Wednesday afternoon. Tom Brady

49
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: potentially coming for your seat. The mom's ay, Tom Brady

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: gonna walk out of the NFL and walk right into

51
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: the number one share at Fox, which is unbelievable for

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 2: the company and Club Superstar drama. So we're not talking

53
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 2: about that, except we are gonna talk about it for

54
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: just a moment. Here's the deal. On First Things First,

55
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: we came out with Club Superstar. It's an amazing piece

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 2: of art done by Jack Perkins on Twitter. I'm at

57
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: pure hoop. The idea is too many people say this

58
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: guy's superstar, that guy's superstar, and I said, it's like

59
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: a great nightclub one in one out twelve people Max.

60
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: We debuted it the other day on First Things First.

61
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: And then that's Charlatan A mean al Hassen, who was

62
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: just writing Dan Levittard's Coattails to Glory, Fame and Fortune

63
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: said I stole this idea from him and Zach Harper

64
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: from there, you know, moderately successful barely listened to Sirius

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: XM radio show. For me to steal the idea, i'd

66
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: have to be aware of the idea, and their idea

67
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: was not a club superstar who was an MVP bar.

68
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 2: It doesn't even have a one in, one out policy.

69
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: Just nonsense. I am not above stealing things from other

70
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: media empors. I've stolen many things from the Church of Laslow,

71
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: a radio show in Kansas City that nobody outside of

72
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: kans City ruling out on a few cities, but a

73
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: lot a lot of sportsmans don't know about. I steal

74
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: things from them all the time, and I admit to it.

75
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: And I even stole from Levatard show once I stole

76
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: the whole the thing I do at the end of

77
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: shows where I complain about technological advancements that have made

78
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: things worse, that's just Greg Cody's back in my day.

79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: He's been doing that for years.

80
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 5: So awareness is great.

81
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I will steal, but I will admit that

82
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: I have stolen Jacoby from Jail. On Jacoby a ESPN,

83
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: I didn't realize it was him at first, but he

84
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 2: called the nets an NFT like not a real tangible thing.

85
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: I said that on THEMANI Show. But I said it

86
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: wasn't my idea. I said someone else said this. I

87
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: couldn't remember as Jacoby. So I will steal, but I

88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: will admit I stole. I didn't take a means a

89
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: means of club or bar MVP. That's silly club superstar.

90
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: On the other hand, one in one out policy with

91
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: a specially commissioned, multi thousand dollars piece of art that

92
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: I paid for out of my own pockets. It's a

93
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 2: beautiful piece of art. It's beautiful. People should check it out. Okay,

94

96
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: an allergic reaction. I'm not sure what's going on. Will

97
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: power through it because we have a lot to do today.

98
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: What are we leading with today?

99
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:01,760

Speaker 4: All right?

107
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,960

00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 2: So no, nobody, anybody can't do my job. I'm a

113
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 2: professional takesman. The idea that does anybody.

114
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: Professional takes Did you just make that up?

115
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 4: Yeah?

116
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: I did? You know? You know how you can come

117
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 2: up with good turns of phrase like that on a

118
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: fly if you're a professional wordsmith, a takesman, someone who teas,

119
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: someone who consumes sports and immediately is thinking, how can

120
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: I make.

121
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 3: A few seconds on suns Ma Mavericks gott freaking blown

122
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: outa don just had a you know, decent game.

123
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 5: What else are Yeah?

124
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: Like Chris what is I don't know his first name,

125
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: but Chris, Chris, the little floppy thing into the other

126
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 3: locker room.

127
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: Okay, that's right, all right, that's what we would call

128
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: a recap of things everyone already knew. That is not

129
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 2: exactly going to cause our ratings bonanza. That is not

130
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: going to cause people to tune in. So the idea

131
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: that everyone can do my job false. People think they

132
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: could do my job, but they can't. If they could,

133
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 2: more people will do it. I don't have this job

134
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: because I'm good looking. I don't have this job because

135
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: I have this amazing voice. It's because the takes are

136
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: so sharp and insightful, and occasionally I have a little

137
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: inside information. So can are there more people in the

138
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 2: world who can do what I do than can do

139
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: what Kevin Durant does? Yes, of course, Can anyone do

140
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: my job? No, of course not. But you said you're

141
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: a comment in a question. I didn't even let you

142
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: get to the question. Go ahead and do the question. Narcissism,

143
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 2: So narcissist.

144
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 3: Wow, So the question is why do you think Katie

145
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: is singling you out like that on Twitter?

146
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: Okay, so this is my question it and this is

147
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: what I can't figure out.

148
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: Does Katie hate me or really like see that's what

149
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 3: That's what I was thinking, Like, I don't think that

150
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: he's uh. I think it is like me and fun

151
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: like frenemies exactly freely.

152
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: Because here's the thing. If people didn't see this exchange,

153
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: someone I didn't tweet to him. Someone tweeted to Durant,

154
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: did you see nick Wright's Club Superstar segment? He had

155
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: a funny line about Kyrie, right, And Durant responded and said,

156
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: I didn't see it, but I'm sure it was trash.

157
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: Anyone can do Nicky's job, and he calls me nicky.

158
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 5: Right.

159
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: He then says because someone's like, hey, don't be mean

160
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: to nick. And he says, he makes millions of dollars,

161
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: thanks Katie, appreciate that, and so he's subject for criticism.

162
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: That's how this works, right, And I did respond to that.

163
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: I said, that is actually exactly how this works. You

164
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: are correct, Kevin Durant. I am in the public eye.

165
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: I have a big boy job with big compensation that

166
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: I have decided to put myself out there. Anything someone

167
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: wants to say about my job performance and even minor

168
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: personal shots are fair, right. And I think Kevin Durant

169
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: thought he was like check making, it's like check meeting

170
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: me Like, oh, you don't like when it happens to you.

171
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: But isn't that what they say about me? Like I

172
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: make millions of dollars, I should be able to expected.

173
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 3: You to take a Kyrie's standpoint of it.

174
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you are subject to criticism like that is what

175
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: goes with the territory, And so I don't. I am

176
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: a big believer that I've never been. I have been

177
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: mean at times to Durant, but I've never been out

178
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 2: of bounds. I've never been unfair. I didn't participate when

179
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: people were making fun of his ankles. Never that I

180
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 2: thought that was I thought that was out of bounds.

181
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 2: I was like, you know what, I'm gonna sit in

182
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 2: this one out fellas. I feel like, A that's not

183
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: necessarily a white person conversation, and B I'm not I'm

184
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: not participating in that. So I don't think I've ever

185
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: really gone overboard, and I don't think he's going overboard

186
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 2: with me. And then, but here's the other thing when

187
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: I say I don't know for friends or enemies, because

188
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: I then tweeted at least I had you in Club

189
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: Superstar Kevin. I put at least I had you in

190
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: Club Superstar Kevin. I don't think people really call him Kevin.

191
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: They call him K or KD. And that's why he

192
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: wrote thank you Nicholas and did the handshake emoji. So

193
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: I you know what, we had low Wayne on this

194
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: show is a great time. We don't really do guests

195
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: on this show. I was thinking about trying to get

196
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: Ti on the show because I had him in my

197
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 2: top five, and I don't think a lot of people do.

198
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: I want to get Durantle. I think Durant and I

199
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: sitting down. I don't think it would be all lovey dovey,

200
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 2: but I think there is a mutual respect along with

201
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: a bit of dislike that I think could be compelling.

202
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 2: So that's a new goal. Go Gabe, who's the you know,

203
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: the the Grand Pooba Blue Doock Media, Go ahead and

204
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 2: make that happen, if you would please. By the way,

205
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hit the clock today. I asked for a

206
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: twelve minute clock. They for some reason told me that's

207
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: not in our budget. I so we're going to figure

208
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: out how to get a twelve minute clock for next episode,

209
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: but I'm going at the clock today. We already went

210
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: a little long in the first topic. We got five

211
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: minutes left for the rest of the segment. What's next

212
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: to them?

213
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 5: Was?

214
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: The Last Night was pretty scary to watch for you

215
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 3: in the MAVs Oh the maps.

216
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: You already recapped it so beautifully. Why do we even.

217
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 3: The seventeen seventeen over run? The seventeen oh run was

218
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: super hard to watch. Sit next to you, I was

219
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: actually got really scared to record some content for the show.

220
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 3: Did you record any I didn't think I was afraid

221
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 3: you'd kick me out of the house. Yeah, so you're

222
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: obviously not too stoked about it, and you say that

223
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: it's you probably say it's gonna go to game seven

224
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: at this point, but you know, the MAVs have been

225
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 3: getting destroyed in Phoenix and that's where game seven would be.

226
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 2: Yep, So why can they win game seven? Here's why

227
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: they win game seven. They're gonna win game six. I

228
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 2: believe they're gonna win back in Dallas and then it's

229
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: game and then all the pressure in the world is

230
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: not on Dallas, it's on Phoenix. For Chris Paul, this

231
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: last real shot at the type. Yeah, Devin Booker and

232
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're gonna get to it, but

233
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: it's doing a whole lot of shit talking that I

234
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: think is gonna be that didn't last time, didn't age

235
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: well last time. Luca won the next two. And I

236
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: think the MAVs are the best player in the series,

237
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 2: best player in the series. Have a come down to

238
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: one game, it's no problem. Here's the thing the MAVs

239
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: must understand before we move on. They must understand if

240
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: you're gonna beat the Suns, you cannot beat them if

241
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: you don't have a lead after three quarters. The Suns

242
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: are fifty three and oh when leading after the third quarter.

243
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: So you have to treat it like a three quarter game.

244
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: You must be winning after the third quarter and then

245
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: find a way to finish it all. Because not a

246
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 2: single team all year long has been trailing the Suns

247
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: by even one point headed into the fourth and won

248
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: the game. That it's a crazy stat. The best teams

249
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: in NBA history when leading after three quarters the ninety

250
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: six Bulls the seventy two win Bulls were sixty something

251
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: and one when leading after three quarters playoffs included the

252
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen Caves were fifty four, fifty five and one.

253
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: That was Lebron with no teammates really at the apex

254
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: of his powers. The twenty twenty Lakers were fifty seven

255
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: and oh, another Lebron team that they never lost single

256
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: game all year when leading after three quarters. And the

257
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: Sun right now are fifty three and zero. Are we

258
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: gonna do the Devin Booker thing?

259
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah? So did you see Devin Booker talking craft to

260
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: you guy, Luca?

261
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 2: I did, And if people didn't see it, this is

262
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 2: where I'm saying he might this. He's gonna have a

263
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: little extra pressure on him. I think we can run

264
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: some of the footage. So Devin Booker got fouled in

265
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: the third quarter and flopped. First of all, they called

266
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 2: this a flagrant foul. But you see he flopped like

267
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: a fish on the ground. And then he's laying on

268
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: the ground. He's smiling. He's acting like he got hurt,

269
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 2: which is smart, I guess, because it led to a

270
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: flagrant foul. But then he says to the crowd, I'm

271
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: pulling a Luca. I'm doing the Luca.

272
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 5: Oh that's what he said.

273
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 2: That's what he said to the crowd, saying like exaggerating injury.

274
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: That is not what listen. Luca has some things I understand.

275
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: People not like it. He winds incessantly, he is a

276
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: trash talker. He's sometimes looks uninterested in defense. Those are

277
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: fair criticism.

278
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 3: It doesn't flop though.

279
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 2: He absolutely does not flop, and he does not pretend

280
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 2: to get hurt. It's a lie. And so the point

281
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: I'm making about the pressure being on the Suns is this,

282
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 2: if Dallas he called it the Lucas Special, is what

283
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: he called me. If Dallas wins Game six, which I

284
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 2: believe they will. Now all of a sudden, Chris Paul

285
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 2: has massive pressure on him because he's probably the last

286
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 2: chance to win a title, and Devin Booker's gotta know

287
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: you pull that sh and then lose two in a row,

288
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: you will four seed. That's gonna follow you for a while.

289
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: So I still like Dallas's chances. All right, what's next?

290
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 3: Miami absolutely blitz the Sixers. Yeah, hard isn't showing up

291
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 3: an embiid is looking kind of gas yeh. No team

292
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 3: is won on the road yet, and four of the

293
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: five games have been double digit wins.

294
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 5: Yep.

295
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: His home court advantage really a big deal. It's see.

296
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, Suns and Sixers heat the home team's

297
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: ten to zero in those series, so that seems to

298
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: be relevant thus far. In the other two series not

299
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: so important. Here's what I think right now. I think

300
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: that because it's not like Miami's got a great crowd.

301
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: I think Philly they don't have the emotional maturity as

302
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: a team to where they can. I think they need

303
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 2: the energy from their home fans. It's less about like

304
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: Miami being such a tough place to play and more

305
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 2: about Philly needing the energy from their home crowd. Also,

306
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: it should be noted Games one and two in Miami,

307
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: Embiid didn't play. I also thought the Embiid argument that

308
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: he was pouting about MVP not winning MVP, it was

309
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: not crazy. I think guy's got a broken face and

310
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: how to can caution. This was not about not winning MVP.

311
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 2: This was about he's playing injured and Harden didn't show up.

312
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: This is bad loss obviously for the Sixers. I believe

313
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: the win game six and then we'll see if they

314
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: can win a game seven in Miami. We don't have

315
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: a lot of history that leeds you to believe they can.

316
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: But if embiid is looks healthier, they still have no

317
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: answer for EMBIID. So I'm not writing off the Sixers yet.

318
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: I said I was gonna hit the clock. The clock

319
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: just run out, ran out, But we have one topic left,

320
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: So in order to hit the clock, we're gonna do

321
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: that topic. Next segment Golden State Memphis, After the Break,

333
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: Low Wayne interview Demanse did numbers for our YouTube page.

334
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: I should the I saw a skip on his podcast

335
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 2: and he's got a plaque from YouTube forgetting to one

336
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: hundred thousand subscribers. They send him an actual plaque. We're

337
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: just shy of like forty thousand. I would really really

338
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: like it if we could somehow get to one hundred thousand,

339
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: which is a big number before football season. Maybe we

340
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: could shoot even higher than that. But if you're listening

00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,080

00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: do better. If you're watching us. One of the visual

346
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: mechanisms is this clock, which has been mostly useless because

347
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: I never hit it. Starting next week, we're doing twelve

348
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: minutes segments, and once that happens every time, this is

349
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 2: what we're gonna do. Every time I don't hit the clock,

350
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to pay a financial penalty. I'm gonna

351
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: have to.

352
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: Pay you's I'm gonna pay you.

353
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: Well, then you might work against me. You might try

354
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: to then try to add stuff, be like oh what

355
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 2: about this?

356
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 3: What about that?

357
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 2: All right? You know what? Charity is a better idea?

358
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: Gonna screwed yourself there, buddy, I'm gonna even financial penalty

359
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: would to be determined. It will be on a multiple

360
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 2: dollars per minute basis. Give it to the producer.

361
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, for doing such a great job.

362
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: Wow, Look at demons finally learning who the real power

363
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: is on this show. Who to kiss up to? Wow?

364
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 2: Give it to the producers the thought. You're also implying

365
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: that you know, our fearless leader, Gabe Goodwin's not paying

366
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: his people well enough. All right, let's go.

367
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 5: What are we starting with?

368
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 4: Oh?

369
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: I know we're starting with because I didn't get to

370
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: it last segment because I screwed up the clock again.

371
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: Golden State, Memphis? What are we doing?

372
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 3: It's possible by the time that people see it here,

373
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: this Golden State will have advanced by past Memphis. Yeah,

374
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 3: but you know they're still not playing well and they've

375
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 3: gotten super lucky with playing the Nuggets in injuries. But

376
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: you know, let's talk about ja. Do you think that

377
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,239
Speaker 3: it's possible that even when he is back tow one

378
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 3: hundred percent, that he'll just keep progressing and be even

379
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 3: better or what's going on?

380
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: So I'm worried about Job. So again, this game is

381
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 2: tonight and we're recording before it. My guess is Golden

382
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: State's gonna win. It wouldn't be shocking if Memphis, back

383
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: at home, finds a way to win. They were twenty

384
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: and five this season. Without Jaw, they could win. But

385
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 2: Memphis has no chance of winning the series none whatsoever,

386
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 2: not without John Morant the rest of the way. And

387
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: my I worry about Jaw, And you and I were

388
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 2: discussing this before. Deman's about Job versus Anthony Edwards, right right,

389
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 2: I think Jaw's better and I think Jaw's profile is

390
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 2: even more elite than Anthony Edwards, who is an outstanding player,

391
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: but Jaw's body type and play style terrifies. Right, He's

392
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 2: always on the ground, and so much of his game

393
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: has to deal with do with the fact that I

394
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: think right now he's the single best active athlete in

395
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: the NBA.

396
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, easily.

397
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: And so when you're relying on that, if you lose

398
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 2: a little bit of that and you just become one

399
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: of the best athletes in the NBA, that hurts you.

400
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: And so I know that seems obvious shooter, but well so.

401
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 2: And here's the other reason the injury concerns me. The

402
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: bone brews sounds like, what's that mean? Kendrick Nunn suffered

403
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 2: a bone brews last season, so not this season. We

404
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 2: just had last season he signed with the Lakers this offseason,

405
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: he missed the entire year with dealing with the bone groups. Now,

406
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen with Job. But my

407
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: point is this, he needs this summer. He's not a

408
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 2: fully formed player. He needs the time to work on

409
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: his shot and to work on his defense. Everyone's just

410
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: crushing Luca for Lackaday's goal defense. Luca is a far

411
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 2: better defender than Joe is. Jaw's bad defensively, but he

412
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 2: has a great defensive team around him, those other guys

413
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: that can make up for it. So I this this

414
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: injury plus the fact that he did they're twenty and

415
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: five without Josh sounds good, but it also means he

416
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: missed twenty five games this year. Yeah, so that part's concerning.

417
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 2: So I'm rooting for Jah. Nobody want you know the

418
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 2: comp Jaws always had as Derek Rose, Well, Derek Rose,

419
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 2: it went sideways because of an injury, now obviously a

420
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: far more devastating injury than this one. But I I

421
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 2: am a Josh stockholder, But there you do. I guess

422
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 2: the question would be, is it possible that when his

423
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 2: career's over, he's never better than he is right now?

424
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 2: As possible? That's usually not the case for a player

425
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 2: as young as him, but with a guy that plays

426
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 2: the way he does, that's got to at least be

427
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 2: on the board. That part's concerning, And he must improve

428
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: as a shooter because at some point the athleticism will

429
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 2: wanne a bit.

430
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 3: Okay, what's next Bucks Celtics?

431
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's was tonight.

432
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 3: So, by the way, before I get into the question, yeah,

433
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 3: you said that it'd be you said that the Bucks

434
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 3: would win. Did you say five? Well before, at the

435
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: beginning of the bet.

436
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: Okay, so here's the deal. Before the playoffs, I said

437
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: the Bucks would not face a game six the entire postseason.

438
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 3: Okay, whenever series and four that's already happening, correct.

439
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: However, before, once Chris Middleton went down, I said bucks

440
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 2: and six. I said, that's going to cost them one

441
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: game instead of Bucks and five with Middleton bucks and six,

442
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: Bucks and six still available to.

443
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 3: Me Celtics and six still available. Absolutely, that was what

444
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: I said.

445
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: And Chris Middleton's not coming back. So what so what?

446
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 3: So?

447
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 2: What?

448
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 5: Yes?

449
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: You said Selton six, I said Bucks and six. We'll see.

450
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 2: Don't don't start celebrating because I think you said five.

451
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 2: I did say five initially, but then Chris Middleton got hurt. Okay,

452
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 2: this isn't about our bet. Yeah, we had time on

453
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 2: that in Game five's tonight. But so Game five, by

454
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: the time people will have seen this will have already happened.

455
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 2: We don't know what's gonna happen. What's going on.

456
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: You predicted the Bucks would pull away in Game four

457
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 3: against the Celtics. Yeah, but Al Horford obviously had other players. Yea,

458
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 3: there's no sign of Chris Middleton coming back from this injury.

459
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 3: If they lose this series. Do you think that they'll

460
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 3: blame the injury or they'll make some serious changes.

461
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: Oh, I think they'll blame the I don't think Milwaukee

462
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: needs to make serious changes. You have Giannis who seems

463
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 2: to get better every year. Drew Holliday I think has

464
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 2: been good in this postseason, even though he was bad

465
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: in Game four. We'll see how he is in Game five.

466
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: You guys will have already seen it. But losing to

467
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 2: if they end up losing the series, which I do

468
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: not believe they will, the Celtics I think are going

469
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: to end up the winner of this series. I think

470
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: it's probably going to go to the finals. And if

471
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: you lose to the it's one thing. If you're Brooklyn

472
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: and you lose to Boston in four and you look

473
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: like you're miles away from it. If you lose a

474
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: series in six or seven of Boston when Chris Middleton

475
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: didn't play, I wouldn't fire in Milwaukee. I would absolutely

476
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 2: run it back. Drew Holliday's excellent Chris Middleton be back.

477
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 2: Giannis is still in his APEX prime. You do small

478
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 2: little tweaks like they did this offseason bringing in Grayson

479
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: Allen and move on from PJ. Tucker. But the idea

480
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 2: that Milwaukee should blow things up would be insane. You know,

481
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 2: the Lakers won the title in twenty twenty, had a

482
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: disappointing twenty twenty one, and then essentially blew it up.

483
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: They traded all their role players for one big, shining

484
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: star in Russ and it led to disaster in twenty

485
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 2: twenty two. Don't overreact to one a postseason disappointment, especially

486
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 2: when your second best player wasn't there. Now the premise

487
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: of the question that was flawed, because Milwaukee's not losing

488
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: the series, even if they even if when you have

489
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: heard this Thursday morning, they lost Game five in Boston,

490
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: which I don't think they will have. But even if

491
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 2: that happened, Boston still would have to go to Milwaukee

492
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 2: and win a Game six or beat Giannis in a

493
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 2: Game seven, which I don't think is happening. All right,

494
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: time for a game two wrongs one right, demonse, let's

495
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: get going.

496
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 3: Two rows are right, Let's do it? Yeah better quote Draymon,

497
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 3: this isn't the Minnesota timberwill Steph I feel like we

498
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 3: got traded to the Kings overnight. Or Gobert saying that

499
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 3: he would lotch shack up.

500
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: Well, Go Beart's quotes one of the most ridiculous things

501
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: I've ever heard, So that one we're definitely crossing out.

502
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's just so talk about a

503
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 2: guy believing his own hype. People need to watch and

504
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 2: you know what you should watch after the show. But

505
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 2: I bet, because I bet you've never seen it. Shaquille

506
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: O'Neill Orlando Highlights. So when Shaq was in Orlando, he

507
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 2: was legitimately probably seventy pounds later than he was when

508
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: he was winning titles with the Lakers, and his agility

509
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: like just an unbelievable player, and then was even better

510
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: with the Lakers when he was out of shape. So

511
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 2: Go Bear's is definitely wrong. Steph's isn't wrong, but it's

512
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 2: not that interesting. He's just saying they felt they had

513
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 2: traded the Kings and they played poorly, and because Mike

514
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: Brown got named coach of the Kings, then he had

515
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 2: to coach him. The best one is the Draymond quote,

516
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 2: because he's absolutely right. The Grizzlies were able to get

517
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 2: away with playing bad basketball down the stretch of games

518
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: in the final couple minutes because Minnesota was played such

519
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 2: a dumb brand of basketball. Golden State, on the other hand,

520
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: knows how to execute at.

521
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 7: The end of these games, and they know how to

522
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 7: flop in good time. Okay, listen, that was it was

523
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 7: a tough call. The Desmond band fouls a tough call.

524
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 7: But now that we know Jaws out for the series,

525
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 7: I'm not as bitter about that call, even though I

526
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 7: picked the Grizzlies, because even even in MEMPHISOD won that game,

527
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 7: they were going to lose the series.

528
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: They're not beating Golden State or two out of three.

529
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 5: These games have not been blowouts.

530
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 2: I know, I understand, but I'm just telling you that's

531
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: Draymond's point is these games are going to be close,

532
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 2: and Golden State's going to out execute them at the end.

533
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: All right, what's next.

534
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 3: One hundred which rumle will come true? Donovan Mitchell to

535
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 3: the Knicks, forty nine Ers, trade Jimmy g this summer,

536
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 3: or Dallas gets a second football team.

537
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: All right, Dallas definitely not getting a second football team,

538
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: and I don't think's going anywhere. Here's the thing on

539
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: Donovan that nobody's talking about. You know what, I shouldn't say,

540
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 2: nobody's talking about this. I think Zach Lowe might have

541
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: mentioned this. It might have been Zach somebody what I've

542
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: heard one person mentioned this, and when I heard him,

543
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: I was like, exactly right. The All Star Game next

544
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 2: year is in Utah. Utah is not trading Donovan Mitchell

545
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: away before they host the All Stark They're just not.

546
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: He's going to be the master ceremonies. He's going to

547
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: be the big home down star. They're not trading him

548
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 2: away before they host the All Star Game. Jimmy g

549
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: is getting traded this summer. So that's the one that's happening.

550
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 2: Donovan might become a nick eventually, but it is not

551
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: happening this summer. All Right, What's last?

552
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 3: Which trailer got you most excited? Top Gun, Maverick, Avatar

553
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 3: two or the Game of Thrones prequel?

554
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: Okay, I do not care about Top Gun, the first

555
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 2: one or the second one at all. I'm a huge

556
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise fan. I'm not a big Top Gun fan.

557
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: Not interested Avatar. I liked the first Avatar just fine

558
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: because the three D was cool, but I'm not interested

559
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 2: in that the Game of Thrones prequel I'm excited for.

560
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 2: I don't really know. It's House of Dragons. I'm not sure.

561
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: Why are you laughing? What's so funny?

562
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 5: What's so funny? Just none of these movies not in

563
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 5: Game of Thrones? Pretty cool?

564
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I've never tuned in the Game of Thrones.

565
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 3: And that's the show that you and mom used to

566
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 3: watch a lot in Houston.

567
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was going for multiple years. Yeah, it didn't

568
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 2: have a great ending. I'm excited for it. I'm sorry, man,

569
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 2: everything can't be the critically acclaimed Walking Dead that you've

570
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 2: watched the entire series.

571
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 3: Actually actually just watched Avengers End Game last night, so okay.

572
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 2: All right, great, yeah again, zombie shows and superhero movies,

573
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: my apologies. Game of Thrones, on the other hand, is

574
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: about dragons and wizards, and it's actually pretty dope. We'll

575
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: be right back, all right, Welcome back in What's Right

576
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 2: with Nick? Great podcast Episode eighteen. Like rate subscriber, you

577
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 2: final segment, as we often do, I don't even know

578
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 2: what we're talking about, Demonse, you said you had a

579
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 2: bone to pick with me or something you want to

580
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 2: discuss with me, So demnse take it away.

581
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty pretty sad to see. But uh,

582
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 3: I mean Dallas was kind of getting blown out. I mean,

583
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: I guess they were getting blown out, but there was

584
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: like three minutes left in the third quarter, Hu, and

585
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 3: then I forget maybe it was like Devin Booker or

586
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: yeah itit's a three, and then you just got up

587
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 3: and went to bed.

588
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 5: Like sea in the morning, buddy, love you.

589
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were sitting right over there watching the game.

590
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 2: It was tied at halftime. I was already you know what,

591
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 2: full disclosure here. I was kind of pissed at you,

592
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 2: and so I didn't want to hang out with you

593
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 2: any longer. And the team was getting blown out. So

594
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: here's the deal.

595
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: This is because I didn't go and pick mama.

596
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was because you didn't go and pick mama

597
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: from the airport. So here's the deal.

598
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 5: Man, that's so ridiculous.

599
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: So my wife came back from out of town last night.

600
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: My wife, also doubles as his mother, came back from

601
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 2: out of town last night. Her plane landed at ten

602
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 2: forty five at LaGuardia, which luckily is fifteen minutes from

603
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: my house. Super close. That is right, smack dab in

604
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: the middle of the MAVs Sons game, and so I

605
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 2: had mentioned in Amanse like, hey, I might want you

606
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 2: to pick your mom up from the airport so I

607
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: can sit here watch the game tweet if I need

608
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: to be. You know what I mean. I'm at my

609
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: battle station here, I got the computer, I got the

610
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 2: multiple TVs and demonse, all right, you know you don't

611
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 2: want to send an uber.

612
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: For b as what I said, I'd do it. I

613
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 3: said I would seem happy about it. I mean I

614
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: probably didn't seem stoked about it. Yeah, but like I

615
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: wouldn't have no, I didn't care. And then when they

616
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 3: got close to the time, I was like, so, what's

617
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 3: the plan with mom?

618
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly right. He said, what's the one with

657
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't actually think that, but sometimes I

658
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: have the feeling like.

659
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,040
