Speaker 2: Welcome in episode one thirty six, What's Right with Nick
Speaker 2: Wright the podcast and YouTube show. Like rate Reviews, subscribe,
Speaker 2: you're watching live right now. Today's a very special show.
Speaker 2: As if you're a regular viewer listener, you know Demands
Speaker 2: is out for the next little bit of time. He's
Speaker 2: currently in Los Angeles trying to find an apartment for
Speaker 2: his soon move to Los Angeles. So I know many
Speaker 2: of you are wondering who would be sitting in Demon's seat.
Speaker 2: We have done the show solo once before. We had
Speaker 2: lo Wayne on the show once before, we had my
Speaker 2: youngest daughter host once and one time ever, my wife,
Speaker 2: the owner of the location where we now do the show,
Speaker 2: trinted to the women's boutique here in Harlem. Danielle Bird,
Speaker 2: as the city calls her, hosted the show, and after
Speaker 2: much plotting and pleading, prodding and pleating, I should say
Speaker 2: Danielle has agreed to host once again and the next
Speaker 2: few shows. I don't know if you know this, but
Speaker 2: you are hosting today Thursday and next Thursday.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 4: I did not a.
Speaker 2: Little three show series for your feeling. You were a
Speaker 2: star last time. Everyone.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 4: I'm feeling okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Didn't expect to be here today, Otherwise I would have
Speaker 4: got my lashes done. Oh I don't think the.
Speaker 2: Audience is gonna notice nor care. You look wonderful.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 2: I've got to say I was, and I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: talk too much family business on the show. We'll get
Speaker 2: right to the sports. But about five six days ago,
Speaker 2: when I knew the plane was for you to host,
Speaker 2: I was a little worried about how that would go.
Speaker 4: I wish you would have told me six times six
Speaker 4: days ago.
Speaker 2: Uh, Danielle wasn't the biggest fan of mine, but because
Speaker 2: I am such a wonderful husband, and partner. We have
Speaker 2: since turned things around. We're doing great. Can I get
Speaker 2: a little high five and get the show going?
Speaker 4: Let's chill out?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right out, here's what missed the cut for
Speaker 2: today's show. Adam Feeling says the Carolina Panthers can win
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. No, they cannot. Michael Jordan may sell
Speaker 2: the Hornets. Honest question here for in the Jordan Lebron debate,
Speaker 2: because I have had to hear people for years when
Speaker 2: I talk Jordan versus Lebron, bring up all well, and
Speaker 2: when you go off the court, look at shoe sales,
Speaker 2: look at iconography, look at how big of a cultural
Speaker 2: impact Michael Jordan has had. Is that not demon demonstrate
Speaker 2: that he's the greatest player ever? Okay, so if we're
Speaker 2: gonna incorporate that as a small percentage of the goat debate,
Speaker 2: when Lebron ends up owning a team and is not
Speaker 2: an utter failure as an owner for twenty years, the
Speaker 2: way Michael Jordan has been drafting Adam Morrison, drafting Michael Kidd,
Speaker 2: Gilchris number two, having the worst team in the league
Speaker 2: for twenty years, when Lebron's team is actually good, is
Speaker 2: that going to be a check mark in his column
Speaker 2: in the Goat Debate. These are question be people. Thank
Speaker 2: you Arch it should be I agree, Danielle. I agree
Speaker 2: because I'm the one saying it. And uh oh, would
Speaker 2: Lebron be a better owner than MJ. I didn't even
Speaker 2: know that was on there. In my script it says
Speaker 2: that what missed the cut is good Roger Gonnell to
Speaker 2: be extended next week. The Lebron thing was there, Okay,
Speaker 2: so that's what's not on the show. Even though Lebron
Speaker 2: wasn't in the Jordan thing, we kind of touched on it.
Speaker 2: I have a feeling we are kind of starting with
Speaker 2: Lebron even though he's out injured. Danielle the floor as
Speaker 2: yours my love.
Speaker 4: Hmm, big shocker. We are starting with the Lakers.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, they're.
Speaker 4: Currently the eleven seed, but you still believe in them? Yeah,
Speaker 4: Lebron is still out. What's the best case, the worst case,
Speaker 4: or most likely to happen with the Lakers?
Speaker 2: Okay, so quick recap of the last few days for
Speaker 2: the Lakers. Friday night was as bad of a loss
Speaker 2: as you can have. They're playing the MAVs. The MAVs
Speaker 2: obviously don't have Luca. It is a wildly important game.
Speaker 2: Had they won that game, they would be very well
Speaker 2: positioned for the sixth seed. They have a four point
Speaker 2: lead with seven seconds left. I was watching this actually
Speaker 2: right next to you. You were dead to the world, asleep,
Speaker 2: and I was watching its fist clenched because this was
Speaker 2: a critical game for the Lakers. They're up four with
Speaker 2: eight seconds left and Anthony Davis fowls Maxi Kleva on
Speaker 2: a terrible play. Anthony Davis then misses a free throw.
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis then falls asleep on defense in Maxi Kleba
Speaker 2: hits a three and the Lakers lose devastating ones. It
Speaker 2: puts them in real jeopardy of missing the play in.
Speaker 2: I don't think they will, but in real jeopardy. So
Speaker 2: to answer that part of the question, the worst case
Speaker 2: scenario is the Lakers go five and five the rest
Speaker 2: of the way, miss the play in entirely, and Lebron
Speaker 2: comes back for nothing. That is on the board now.
Speaker 2: But what was so much more, pardon me, what was
Speaker 2: so much more frush strading than Friday was Anthony Davis
Speaker 2: responding to his critical errors in Friday's game, costing them
Speaker 2: the game by sleep walking through Sunday's game, and they
Speaker 2: ended up winning it thanks to Austin Reeves, but it
Speaker 2: was not because Anthony Davis was like, all right, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna make up for it. And that is the paradox
Speaker 2: is the wrong word, but that is the situation with
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis. When he's good, he's unbelievable. He has more
Speaker 2: thirty five and ten games this century than any other player,
Speaker 2: including Shaquille O'Neill in Yannis and Yo Kitchen and Bid.
Speaker 2: He is defensively brilliant almost every night. I'll give him
Speaker 2: credit for that, but he is at times so passive
Speaker 2: on offense you can't just pencil in that any night.
Speaker 2: The Lakers can't lose while Lebron's out because even against
Speaker 2: the Magic, he might know show offensively. So their worst
Speaker 2: case is that they because here's what they have over
Speaker 2: their final ten games, home for Phoenix, home for ok
Speaker 2: See in a game they absolutely should win, not because
Speaker 2: Okac is not good, but because that's Oklahoma City's third
Speaker 2: game and four nights. They're play the Clippers on Tuesday,
Speaker 2: the Clippers on Thursday, and then the Lakers on Friday,
Speaker 2: so it's a back to back, third game of four nights,
Speaker 2: then home against Chicago, where Anthony Davis is from, then
Speaker 2: at Chicago, then at Minnesota, at Houston. That's a six
Speaker 2: game stretch that other than the Phoenix game, they will
Speaker 2: be favored. They should be favored in all the games
Speaker 2: except for at Minnesota, and then the final four games
Speaker 2: of the year could be tough at Utah, at the Clippers,
Speaker 2: home for Phoenix, home for Utah. So best case, worst case,
Speaker 2: most likely case, best case is they go five to
Speaker 2: one in this six game stretch. Lebron One then comes
Speaker 2: back for the final week of the season, Utah has
Speaker 2: packed it in and they end up going I think
Speaker 2: they would have to go probably seven to three, at
Speaker 2: a minimum, maybe eight and two in their final ten.
Speaker 2: They get the sixth seed, they get Sacramento in round one.
Speaker 2: We send your grandparents to one of those games. Kings
Speaker 2: Lakers in the playoffs? Is that how unbelievable? The Kings
Speaker 2: have the longest playoff drought in the NBA, and the
Speaker 2: Lakers may do real damage in the postseason. The worst
Speaker 2: case scenarios they miss entirely. The most likely scenario is
Speaker 2: they end up the eight or the nine seed, but
Speaker 2: there is a massive difference between the eight and the
Speaker 2: nine seed because of the play in the way the
Speaker 2: play in works seven through ten are not in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: They have to do the play in seven plays eight
Speaker 2: in a one game set and the winner gets the
Speaker 2: seventh seed. Nine plays ten and the winner of nine
Speaker 2: ten plays the loser of seven eight, and the winner
Speaker 2: of that gets the eight seed. So why is there
Speaker 2: a huge difference between the eight and the nine. Well,
Speaker 2: if you're the ninth seed, you have to win twice.
Speaker 2: You have to win the nine ten game and the
Speaker 2: next game, and you're on the road for that second game.
Speaker 2: If you're the eight seed, you only got to win once.
Speaker 2: You play the seven eight game if you if you
Speaker 2: win it, you move you're the seventh seed. If you
Speaker 2: lose it, you get another chance at home against the
Speaker 2: nine ten. So it's a huge difference. Is a rest difference,
Speaker 2: massive difference. So I yes, last night in the NBA
Speaker 2: went very poorly for the Lakers, even though they didn't play.
Speaker 2: Why did it go poorly? Well, the Timberwolves, who they're chasing,
Speaker 2: were in New York against the Lakers as an eight
Speaker 2: point dog. Damn Julius Randalls scores fifty seven for the Knicks,
Speaker 2: and the Knicks lose anyway, Timberwolves get a win. What
Speaker 2: else happened yesterday? The Warriors finally got a road win
Speaker 2: in Houston. Now, Houston's terrible, but the Warriors won, and
Speaker 2: the Jazz at home beat the Kings in a game.
Speaker 2: The Kings were six point favorites. So two significant underdogs
Speaker 2: that the Lakers are fighting with for playoff positioning, the
Speaker 2: Jazz and the Timbrels, who the Lakers have to catch
Speaker 2: and pass, both won games. There were underdogs yesterday. Now
Speaker 2: the good thing for the Lakers yesterday was the Mavericks
Speaker 2: did lose, and they're chasing the Mavericks. But the standings
Speaker 2: are right now insane. In the Western Conference, the Warriors
Speaker 2: are the sixth seed, the Pelicans are the twelve seed,
Speaker 2: Golden State Dallas, Minnesota, Oklahoma City, Utah, Lakers, Pelicans. That's
Speaker 2: six through twelve. Every single one of those teams has
Speaker 2: thirty six or thirty seven losses. So the difference between
Speaker 2: the sixth seed and the twelve seed right now is
Speaker 2: two games. So it's these final few weeks of the
Speaker 2: season are going to be insane. Anthony Davis has to
Speaker 2: play great over the next three weeks, and they gotta
Speaker 2: get lower the next two weeks, and they got to
Speaker 2: get Lebron back. That all makes sense to you. What
Speaker 2: do you think? What do you think is gonna happen?
Speaker 4: Well, no, you just all those explanations, you know over talks.
Speaker 4: I think you lost me somewhere. I'm rooting for the Lakers.
Speaker 4: I'm hoping that they're gonna.
Speaker 2: They're gonna get in if we get Lakers Kings in
Speaker 2: round one? Who you're rooting for?
Speaker 4: The King's sorry, Lakers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the King's been great. So if the Lakers were
Speaker 2: to get to the sixth seed, or even if they
Speaker 2: were in up the seventh seed, they would be playing
Speaker 2: either the Kings in round one or Memphis in round one.
Speaker 2: If it were Memphis Lakers. Who are Lakers? Oh okay,
Speaker 2: I know them. I want the Lakers to be the
Speaker 2: eight seed so they can get Denver in round one.
Speaker 2: But the problem with being the eight seed is that
Speaker 2: means you're in the play in and you lose a
Speaker 2: play in game, or you're the nine seed. It's just
Speaker 2: it's not you don't want to be in a position
Speaker 2: where you could be the eight seed. But that's actually
Speaker 2: the seed. I want them to get what what's the
Speaker 2: confusion there?
Speaker 4: Nothing?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, next, Danielle.
Speaker 4: The Warriors finally won on the road. Yeah, but you
Speaker 4: still don't believe in them?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: Why has this year gone so terribly?
Speaker 2: So I'm amazed that people are still trying to pretend
Speaker 2: that the Warriors can turn this around. There's nine games left,
Speaker 2: they are a game over five hundred.
Speaker 4: So the Lakers can turn around, but the Warriors can't.
Speaker 2: Yes, because here's why. The Lakers have had very different iterations.
Speaker 2: So everybody brings up this exact question of like, why
Speaker 2: would you believe in the Lakers and not the Warriors.
Speaker 2: It's very simple. The Lakers started the year to and
Speaker 2: ten with a broken roster. Since that moment, they have
Speaker 2: been a good team. Since to and ten, they're thirty
Speaker 2: five and thirty seven, So that means they are thirty
Speaker 2: three and twenty seven since the opening twelve games. That's
Speaker 2: a sixty game sample of them being a good team.
Speaker 2: That's despite the fact that Lebron is obviously miss significant
Speaker 2: time over the last month. You add to it that
Speaker 2: the Lakers remade their team. Our guy Russ is a
Speaker 2: broken basketball player that was killing them and killing their spacing.
Speaker 2: It makes you sad, but it's true. Patrick Beverly is
Speaker 2: a useless basketball player and he was getting He was
Speaker 2: their starting point guard. They have remade the roster. The
Speaker 2: Warriors are the same group, and after twenty games they
Speaker 2: were ten and ten. After forty games, they were twenty
Speaker 2: and twenty. After sixty games they were thirty and thirty,
Speaker 2: and prior to last night, after seventy two games, they
Speaker 2: were thirty six and thirty six. I get credit to
Speaker 2: them for finally breaking their eleven game road losing streak,
Speaker 2: but they still lead the league in road losses. They're
Speaker 2: eight and twenty nine on the road. And the fact
Speaker 2: of the matter is this. The Warriors tried to thread
Speaker 2: the needle of continuing to contend for championships while developing
Speaker 2: their young players, and to their credit, they won the
Speaker 2: damn title last year. But they won that despite the
Speaker 2: fact that none of their young guys made significant impacts.
Speaker 2: Moses Moody has done nothing for them since he's been drafted.
Speaker 2: Kaminga's had a couple fine moments, but he has not
Speaker 2: left the way you would have hoped. And Wiseman, their
Speaker 2: number two pick of the draft room a few years
Speaker 2: ago is not even on the team anymore. Those were
Speaker 2: their three young guys. They expected Jordan Poole to continue
Speaker 2: to improve. They paid him like he would. He has
Speaker 2: gone in the other direction, and Draymond is more interested
Speaker 2: in podcasting than playing good basketball. He punched Jordan pull
Speaker 2: in the face. So for all those reasons, this team's broken.
Speaker 2: What what do you have.
Speaker 4: Nothing to do with him turning things around him punching
Speaker 4: this guy in the face.
Speaker 2: You don't think that right before the start of the season,
Speaker 2: the emotional leader of the team, damn near breaking a
Speaker 2: teammate's jaw doesn't have an impact on that team being
Speaker 2: comp not like that.
Speaker 4: I know, but I'm sure you know. I'm hoping you
Speaker 4: know they But.
Speaker 2: We now haven't blogged. We now have a lot of
Speaker 2: evidence that you're hoping wrong, that they haven't gotten together.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I'm rooming for everybody on the West Coast.
Speaker 4: I'm hoping, all right.
Speaker 2: Do you do you think that it would Let's say
Speaker 2: it wasn't the Warriors with the championship pedigree, and it
Speaker 2: was any other team that had super high expectations going
Speaker 2: into a year, and right before the start of the year.
Speaker 2: They're veteran leader who wants a new but didn't get one,
Speaker 2: punches in the jaw and then it gets released on
Speaker 2: video for us all to see him punch out the
Speaker 2: young kid who did get the contract. And then that
Speaker 2: team whenever they have to travel, when you need an
Speaker 2: emotional lift because you're on the road, and where teams
Speaker 2: that are really together, they go out to dinner together,
Speaker 2: they hang out in each other's hotel rooms, play video
Speaker 2: games to whatever it is. This team seems to be
Speaker 2: a disaster on the road, wouldn't we say, Oh, it
Speaker 2: might be that the team doesn't get along great because
Speaker 2: you have this crew of older guys Steph Clay and Draymond,
Speaker 2: these younger guys, and it's hard for them to coalesce
Speaker 2: because one of the guys punched the other guy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a great point. I just means it's the same.
Speaker 2: This is a good point.
Speaker 4: I don't like you, know, I don't want to agree
Speaker 4: with you. You don't want to agree with you, But that's
Speaker 4: what's happened.
Speaker 2: So I think the Warriors are drawing dead to win
Speaker 2: the title, and right now, in my opinion, they're the
Speaker 2: worst team in California. The Clippers are better, the Kings
Speaker 2: are better. I think the Lakers are better, and the
Speaker 2: Warriors are fourth out of four in California. So no,
Speaker 2: they're not turning it around. And they they had an
Speaker 2: opportunity at the deadline to admit that this was a
Speaker 2: missed opportunity and try to package those young players into
Speaker 2: getting an impact piece. They didn't. Now this offseason they're
Speaker 2: gonna have some real decisions because Draymond wants a new contract.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you give it to him. Clay.
Speaker 2: Would they ever trade Clay? You probably can't knife Clay
Speaker 2: like that, but it might be your only chance. Steph
Speaker 2: is playing so well. Steph just turned thirty five. He's
Speaker 2: still one of the five house players as well. He's unbelievable.
Speaker 4: Hebelievable.
Speaker 2: He's he's unbelievable. She's got a little.
Speaker 4: You always hated on the Warriors even when they were
Speaker 4: doing good. Well, yeah, that's a fact.
Speaker 2: Hated me and they you know, they Lebron beat him
Speaker 2: in sixteen, and we were supposed to get this long
Speaker 2: standing rivalry of Warriors versus Lebron and then they had
Speaker 2: to go get Kevin Durant to kind of break the NBA.
Speaker 2: I wasn't a big fan of that. We were supposed
Speaker 2: to get Steph versus Lebron, but then Steph had to
Speaker 2: go recruit Kevin Durant probably cost Lebron a couple of titles.
Speaker 2: I don't like that. But the Warriors got big decisions
Speaker 2: this offseason. And the other thing is that Andrew Wiggins,
Speaker 2: who's been key to them, has been gone now weeks
Speaker 2: with an undisclosed personal matter. And yes, he's wildly important
Speaker 2: for them, but it doesn't from listening to what Staph
Speaker 2: has said and Steve Kerr said, they seem to think
Speaker 2: he might not be coming back this year.
Speaker 4: All right, next, Okay, you call the MAVs, and you
Speaker 4: call the MAVs Sons the NBA's worst rivalry, best best best.
Speaker 4: I think that it's the Grizzly Warriors thet a playoff matchup.
Speaker 2: So MAVs Sun that's a really good question, Danielle. So
Speaker 2: MAVs Sons we get? Oh man, these are I somehow
Speaker 2: we could get both of these. So MAVs Sons. The
Speaker 2: background is they played in Round two last year. The
Speaker 2: Sons were up three to two. Devin Booker was talking
Speaker 2: that trash and then Luca eviscerated them, and the game
Speaker 2: seven in Phoenix. The halftime score was fifty seven twenty seven.
Speaker 2: Luca had more points at halftime than the Sons team did,
Speaker 2: and Luke had thirty and the sorry and the Sons
Speaker 2: had twenty seven. Devin Booker and Luca are a real rivalry.
Speaker 2: You then also have the MAVs now have Kyrie and
Speaker 2: the Sons now have KD. So that's not like a rivalry,
Speaker 2: but that's an interesting one. It was also in thing
Speaker 2: when they played earlier this year, before Durank got hurt again.
Speaker 2: Katie and Kyrie didn't exactly seem super close. They for
Speaker 2: guys that could you know, claims they're super close friends.
Speaker 2: Doesn't really seem like that. And Katie maybe got wise
Speaker 2: on Kyrie's nonsense and got sick of it. Yeah, what
Speaker 2: do you? You don't think that's what it was like Kyrie?
Speaker 2: You like Kyrie, that is, Daniels always liked Kyrie. Danielle
Speaker 2: also doesn't have as big of a problem with some
Speaker 2: of Kyrie's eccentricity.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's yeah, you're right, because you just, I don't know,
Speaker 4: you just get too involved, I don't you know, I
Speaker 4: think he's a great player, so I don't really Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: He's a good player. I don't know I'm a great player.
Speaker 2: He's not that available. He's not great defensively. I don't
Speaker 2: care about that. But like, you didn't like when I
Speaker 2: mocked him for saging the Celtics arena, No, I didn't.
Speaker 2: You thought that was a cool thing that he did. Yeah,
Speaker 2: walking around basketball arena with lit sage? What's it called?
Speaker 2: When you see the was he dabbing the what? What?
Speaker 2: What was it?
Speaker 4: The you're talking about his stage and then yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's wrong.
Speaker 2: You like that? Yeah? I thought that was lunacy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do it. I do it sometimes.
Speaker 2: Not yeah, you do it in our house. You don't
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 4: He's like, I'm playing there. Let me get that.
Speaker 2: You don't show up at someone else's job and start
Speaker 2: saging the error.
Speaker 4: Oh that's bad juju. You gotta think that's what he
Speaker 4: was trying to do.
Speaker 2: So that's what it's supposed to do. It's supposed to
Speaker 2: fix the Yeah you know the juju of Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: So MAV's sons, to get back on topic, would be
Speaker 2: great Grizzlies Warriors, though, is a legit awesome rivalry that
Speaker 2: the Warriors refuse to acknowledge his rivalry.
Speaker 4: Because they don't want it.
Speaker 2: Well, Draymond also said, you know, we've won championships, they've
Speaker 2: won nothing. How's that arrivalry. Well, here's the facts. Last year,
Speaker 2: you guys played in the playoffs. The first three games
Speaker 2: it was two to one Warriors, and one of the
Speaker 2: Warriors wins, John missed the lay up at the end,
Speaker 2: so one of the games total coin flip game. You
Speaker 2: split the other two as close could be, and then
Speaker 2: John got hurt and the Warriors ended up winning in six.
Speaker 2: The previous year they played in the play in everyone
Speaker 2: forgets this. The Warriors two years ago were in the
Speaker 2: play and they were in the seven eight games playing
Speaker 2: the Lakers, and Lebron dotted Steph's eye with a three
Speaker 2: to win that game. When Lebron remember famously you couldn't
Speaker 2: see out of one eye, he shot it with one
Speaker 2: eye closed. Unbelievable play, right in Steph's face. And then
Speaker 2: the next game the Warriors played the Grizzlies. Everyone said
Speaker 2: the Warriors are gonna win, and the Grizzlies sent them home.
Speaker 2: So I know that's not a series, but two years ago,
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies into the Warriors season. Last year, the Warriors
Speaker 2: into the Grizzly season. This year they have played and
Speaker 2: they hate each other. That's a rivalry. And let me
Speaker 2: ask you this, what do you think of the fact
Speaker 2: that anytime somebody talks trash to Klay Thompson, he's now
Speaker 2: done it at least twice, maybe three times. He counts
Speaker 2: to four on his fingers to say I have four rings,
Speaker 2: you have zero? Is that a cool taunt of corny
Speaker 2: taunt or neither. He's done it multiple times.
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess that's his way of not saying anything.
Speaker 4: It's just like, I don't really have to say anything now,
Speaker 4: four rings you guys have not.
Speaker 2: A Yeah, I mean that is exactly what exactly.
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's not even worse.
Speaker 2: But can you keep doing that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You keep doing that?
Speaker 4: Can you know I'll always be like, I'm right, you're wrong.
Speaker 4: I say it every single time. Yeah, But like I said,
Speaker 4: you know, like I don't have anything else to say,
Speaker 4: I'm right, you're wrong.
Speaker 2: Okay, So so the I don't actually have an answer
Speaker 2: for what's the more intriguing rivalry because I think they
Speaker 2: are both great. What I do know is this, we
Speaker 2: have no chance of getting Suns MAVs in round one
Speaker 2: because of the way the standings are. The Sun's well, yeah,
Speaker 2: we have no chance of getting Suns MAVs in round
Speaker 2: one because the Suns are going to be the four
Speaker 2: or the five seed Dallas is going. Could Dallas get
Speaker 2: to the five line? Not? Not really, maybe, but not realistically,
Speaker 2: it's a very low chance of getting Suns MAVs in
Speaker 2: round one. Golden State Memphis we absolutely could get in
Speaker 2: round one, and so because of that, that's the one
Speaker 2: I think we're more likely to see. My Here is
Speaker 2: my dream playoff bracket.
Speaker 4: Let's go for the dreams. Let's go Okay.
Speaker 2: One versus eight, Denver versus Dallas, and Luca gets to
Speaker 2: make a mockery of Jokic. As far as the I
Speaker 2: think the MAVs would have the best plessions, they make
Speaker 2: a mockery of Jokics. That's unfair to Jokis is a
Speaker 2: very very good player. But Luca would be the best
Speaker 2: player on that on the floor, and I Dallas could
Speaker 2: win that series. Two versus seven I would like to
Speaker 2: see would be Sacramento against the Lakers. Three versus six
Speaker 2: would be Golden State against Memphis and four versus five
Speaker 2: Phoenix against the Clippers. And by the way, Phoenix has
Speaker 2: all this talent and on paper they should win the West.
Speaker 2: But if their first round series is against the Clippers,
Speaker 2: that's who Rough plays for now. By the way, with
Speaker 2: Paul George and Kawhi guarding Durant, Durant coming off injury
Speaker 2: a little rusty, that could be a real real problem
Speaker 2: for the Phoenix Suns. All right, last topic of the
Speaker 2: A block, as we are already over time. You gotta
Speaker 2: you're talking too much here.
Speaker 4: What am I supposed to do?
Speaker 2: Tell me, no, you're not. I'm just messing with you.
Speaker 4: Ok yeah, yeah, exactly, Okay, all right, go ahead.
Speaker 2: What's our last topic?
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers still hasn't been traded, but the
Speaker 4: Jets are already signing his friends. Yeah, what do you
Speaker 4: think the Jets ultimately trade for him?
Speaker 2: Okay, so they obviously the Packers want a first round pick.
Speaker 2: The Jets are going to hold the line as long
Speaker 2: as they can. And what I could the way I
Speaker 2: think this is going to play out is not that
Speaker 2: dissimilar to maybe not the far of trade. But there's
Speaker 2: been another trade like this. I forget which one it was,
Speaker 2: I'll look it up later. But I think this year
Speaker 2: the Jets will trade a second round pick for Rogers.
Speaker 2: I think they for in this year's draft. I think
Speaker 2: they will also trade a third round pick in next
Speaker 2: year's draft that will turn into they will put these
Speaker 2: stipulations on it. This is how I see it going.
Speaker 2: And mark this and save this to put out on social.
Speaker 2: If I end up being right, you can put it
Speaker 2: out on social now if you want. But but but certainly,
Speaker 2: in case I end up being right, I think the
Speaker 2: trade's going to being this second round pick this year
Speaker 2: and a third round pick next year. That third round
Speaker 2: pick turns into a second round pick if the Jets
Speaker 2: make the playoffs, and it turns into a first round
Speaker 2: pick if the Jets make the Super Bowl. So you
Speaker 2: are trading a second and a third for Rogers. That
Speaker 2: if the Jets make the playoffs this year is two seconds,
Speaker 2: and if the Jets make the Super Bowl this year,
Speaker 2: it's a second and a first. That to me is
Speaker 2: a win win scenario where the Jets get the Packers get.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna get a first round pick, I don't think.
Speaker 2: But if Rogers ends up being awesome. You will get
Speaker 2: your first round pick, and this year you get a
Speaker 2: second round pick. That's what I think.
Speaker 4: You a follow up question, what will my homes trade
Speaker 4: value be?
Speaker 2: So there is no trade that the Chiefs would accept
Speaker 2: for moment, there is not one. I used to say
Speaker 2: about Rogers back was on the radio in Kansas City
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs had no quarterback. There's one year the
Speaker 2: Chiefs had the number one pick of the draft. They
Speaker 2: drafted Derek Fisher is a good player, but it's fine.
Speaker 2: They won Super Bowls. Tackle for them for a decade.
Speaker 2: I said that the Chiefs should call the Packers for
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers oddly enough, because he was the most talented
Speaker 2: quarterback in the league, and offer them the number one
Speaker 2: overall pick plus and I don't even know if the
Speaker 2: NFL allows this. You get our first round pick every year.
Speaker 2: Rogers is on the roster. So for as long as
Speaker 2: we have the player, you get our first round pick.
Speaker 2: If someone called the Chiefs and said so, say Caroline,
Speaker 2: who has the number one pick, we will trade you
Speaker 2: the number one pick and our first round pick inferpot two.
Speaker 2: As long as we have Patrick Mahomes, I think the
Speaker 2: Chiefs hang up on I don't think you could construct
Speaker 2: a trade where the Chiefs accept it. For Mahomes. I
Speaker 2: think that if the Bengals called and said, we'll give
Speaker 2: you Burrow and Chase, the Chiefs hang up on him.
Speaker 2: I don't think there. I think he has ascended to
Speaker 2: a spot where there is no trade that could work out,
Speaker 2: that would ever happen to where the Chiefs would ever
Speaker 2: get fair value for him. I don't think you can
Speaker 2: get fair value for the most talented players ever played
Speaker 2: gotch So I don't think there's a trade for it.
Speaker 2: But I do like my old idea of first round
Speaker 2: pick and perpetuity, and it ends up being Mahomes was
Speaker 2: traded for Let's take Mahomes out of it, Joe Burrow
Speaker 2: was traded for thirteen first round picks because the team
Speaker 2: that traded for him kept him every single year, and
Speaker 2: the team for the Bengals, it's like we have two
Speaker 2: first round picks every year. But that's a fake trade.
Speaker 2: I just made up. Danielle did a great job in
Speaker 2: this first segment. Didn't roast me too much. Now you
Speaker 2: were worried about rivalry and crushed that you crush you
Speaker 2: crushed that. That's a tough word to pronounce.
Speaker 4: Yea, I struggle with my rs me too.
Speaker 2: I went to speech therapy for that.
Speaker 4: I guess no, you.
Speaker 2: Do a great but ours with L's is a tough one.
Speaker 2: Rivalry is a tough one rivalry, and you crushed it.
Speaker 2: All right, take quick break, come back by the way.

Speaker 2: Instead of doing questions for me, we're gonna do questions
Speaker 2: for Danielle. So we will do that. Daniel's gonna host
Speaker 2: today and uh this coming Thursday, most likely next Thursday
Speaker 2: as well. Oh, gosh, I should have told our people
Speaker 2: at Blue Dunk Media. I forgot to tell them, no
Speaker 2: podcast this coming Tuesday. We're television's off the air Monday
Speaker 2: and Tuesday, and I'm out of town. So everybody, this
Speaker 2: coming Tuesday, we're all out of town. So I should
Speaker 2: have been more professional. Told Gabe and Matt and Victor
Speaker 2: and Kara and all the people that put this podcast together. Daniel,
Speaker 2: but you guys have Tuesday off from the show, and
Speaker 2: I am not doing the show. Well, we're gonna be
Speaker 2: your Thursday and the following Thursday, and then after that.
Speaker 2: The only member of the family who's never hosted the show.
Speaker 2: Look at these guys day off. The only member of
Speaker 2: the family who's never hosted the show, Diora, maybe the
Speaker 2: most talented member of the family aside from me. Of course,
Speaker 2: she's gonna take that seat for a few weeks part
Speaker 2: of a school project she's doing. She's so excited about
Speaker 2: it too. She is, okay, okay, all right, Hey, let's
Speaker 2: get to the topics. What do we do?
Speaker 4: You suggested Lamar's best landing spot is San Francisco.
Speaker 2: H all right, So I went on TV yesterday and
Speaker 2: gave his top five places that Lamar could go, so
Speaker 2: I'll do them here quickly. The number five I had
Speaker 2: his Indy. Now I don't really want to see him
Speaker 2: in Indy, But India is the number four pick of
Speaker 2: the draft, and because Carolina jumped up to one, they're
Speaker 2: gonna be Caroline's gonna take quarterback, Houston's gonna take a quarterback.
Speaker 2: So Indy's gonna be sitting there with the third best quarterback.
Speaker 2: Or they can just sign Lamar, or at least attempt
Speaker 2: to sign Lamar. I don't think he's going to go there,
Speaker 2: but it makes I shouldn't say that. It's not my
Speaker 2: preferred destination. I would like see Lamar go to the NFC.
Speaker 2: We're gonna be the best quarterback. What are you laughing about?
Speaker 2: Tell the audience I have a I have a reflux
Speaker 2: problem I've had.
Speaker 4: Well, you should be drinking water instead of coffee.
Speaker 2: Okay, well set that aside. Let's just keep it back.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing with Indy. If Indy wants to do it,
Speaker 2: they should definitely wait until after the draft to try
Speaker 2: to sign him, because then instead of giving up the
Speaker 2: fourth pick and next year's pick, they give up next
Speaker 2: year's pick and the year after and if you have Lamar,
Speaker 2: you're not gonna have the fourth pick. You're gonna have
Speaker 2: maybe the twenty fourth pick. Number four I said was Atlanta.
Speaker 2: Atlanta seems to be out on it by what they've
Speaker 2: said and what they've done. It makes no sense. You
Speaker 2: have a leg see if black quarterbacks there thanks to
Speaker 2: Vic you also have it's on turf, It's in a
Speaker 2: winnable division. All those reasons, I really like Atlanta. Then
Speaker 2: there was the top three. Number three is New England,
Speaker 2: and I think New England makes an absolute ton of sense.
Speaker 2: I don't totally understand why this wouldn't be the desired
Speaker 2: spot if you're the paid, if you're uh. If Belichick
Speaker 2: wants to be relevant at the end of his career,
Speaker 2: trade Mac Jones for a third round pick, try to
Speaker 2: reboot around Lamar. And then the two NFC teams that
Speaker 2: to me make the most sense. Number two is Detroit.
Speaker 2: They could trade Golf and get a second round or
Speaker 2: for him probably Lamar on turf with James and Williams
Speaker 2: a Monross Saint Brown, and the number one with San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Now San Francisco would have to wait until after the
Speaker 2: draft because they don't have first round pick this year,
Speaker 2: and they would be mortgaging even more draft picks. They'd
Speaker 2: be in cap hell, but they'd win the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: San Francisco has been a top five team in the
Speaker 2: NFL over the last five years with below average quarterback play.
Speaker 2: They drafted Trey Lance because they wanted a mobile quarterback
Speaker 2: who could run the ball. Lamar is the best version
Speaker 2: of that. So San Francisco. As much as I believe
Speaker 2: in the Chiefs, san Francisco would be a favorite over
Speaker 2: the Chiefs if they went and got Lamar Jackson and
Speaker 2: more than a threat. They The defense is a top
Speaker 2: three defense in football. They have top five weapons in football.
Speaker 2: If you added Lamar be unbelievable. So that's why. All right,
Speaker 2: speaking of the Chiefs, go ahead, what'd you say?
Speaker 4: I would like that.
Speaker 2: It'd be great and the NFC needs good quarterbacks. Go
Speaker 2: ahead to the Chiefs.
Speaker 4: Okay, the Chiefs. The Chiefs have been very quiet during
Speaker 4: the free agency. Yeah, are they going to do anything?
Speaker 2: So there's a little Ian rappaport. Note that the DeAndre
Speaker 2: Hopkins trade market is keating up. So here's the dealer
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins from whom they were in Houston's unbelievable. He's
Speaker 2: expensive and older, but he's unbelievable. The Chiefs big question
Speaker 2: last year was their wide receiver courts. They obviously won
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl despite it, but it was a question.
Speaker 2: Their top two wide receivers from that receiving courts are gone.
Speaker 2: Now Juju signed with the Patriots and McCole Hardman is
Speaker 2: a free agent. But it doesn't look like the Chiefs
Speaker 2: are bringing back that was receiver one and receiver two
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs last year. Now, they did add Kadarius Tony,
Speaker 2: but I believe the Chiefs are either going to sign
Speaker 2: Odell Beckham junior or trade for DeAndre Hopkins. And then
Speaker 2: addressed tackle and defensive line in the draft. Speaking of
Speaker 2: the draft, so this weekend, I was basically in the
Speaker 2: with our youngest all weekend in that house. We were
Speaker 2: watching movies and stuff. And I don't know if you noticed,
Speaker 2: but uh, and you have a little straight hair flying
Speaker 2: away there up top, which I know you'd be mad
Speaker 2: if I don't tell you. Uh, no problem, I got you, so.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: I was sitting in my computer a lot while Deanna
Speaker 2: and I were watching the Drastic Park trilogy. I was
Speaker 2: doing mock drafts. So mock drafts are fake NFL drafts.
Speaker 2: Full seven round mock drafts on Pro Football Focus. I
Speaker 2: did fourteen of them. Can we show I want to
Speaker 2: show the audience my four favorites. I know, but these
Speaker 2: so you can trade picks, you can negotiate things. So
Speaker 2: let's go ahead and throw up mock draft number one
Speaker 2: on the screen. This was this is what we call
Speaker 2: Jaalen Carter slides. So in this draft, Jaalen Carter, who
Speaker 2: some people thought was the number one player in the draft.
Speaker 2: Leave this up on the screen for a moment. Uh,
Speaker 2: he's had some issues, Danielle Jalen Carter's number one player
Speaker 2: in the draft. Then it came out he and a
Speaker 2: teammate and a trainer for the team. Potentially we're drag racing.
Speaker 2: The other car got in a wreck. People died. Wow,
Speaker 2: he allegedly maybe drove off, didn't stay. That didn't help him.
Speaker 2: He had his pro DA and he was over wight.
Speaker 2: So a guy who people thought could go number one
Speaker 2: overall and help people were saying, sliding in this mock draft.
Speaker 2: And I have no control over who the other team's pick.
Speaker 2: He slid all the way outside of the top ten.
Speaker 2: So we in Kansas City, we made some moves. We
Speaker 2: traded the thirty first pick and next year's number one
Speaker 2: for the eleventh pick with Tennessee and their third and
Speaker 2: fourth rounder next year. Jumped up and got Jalen Carter
Speaker 2: a draft the receiver issue with Nathaniel Dell in the
Speaker 2: second round, and kept it moving. And if you're watching
Speaker 2: on YouTube, we did a full seven rounder. But the
Speaker 2: odds of Jail and Carter actually sliding quite low. So
Speaker 2: now let's go to mock draft number two, which is
Speaker 2: the Quentin Johnson mock draft. So in this one, we
Speaker 2: also trade up Quinton Johnson, the number one receiver, the
Speaker 2: beast out of TCU. He slides a bit at number fifteen.
Speaker 2: There's too much value there for us not to jump
Speaker 2: on it. We call up green Bay. We offer green
Speaker 2: Bay the thirty first pick, our first rounder next year,
Speaker 2: a seventh rounder this year and a fourth rounder next year,
Speaker 2: four the number fifteen pick, their second and third next year.
Speaker 2: The logic behind that is then entering the Chiefs number
Speaker 2: one in green Bay's number two. Not that big of
Speaker 2: a difference. I don't actually think in real life green
Speaker 2: Bay would accept this trade. But the Pro Football Focuses
Speaker 2: algorithm said they would Chiefs draft Quintin Johnson, address Garrett
Speaker 2: Williams in round two, and I don't know if you
Speaker 2: Then we do some other trades, but don't worry about those.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: We're trading mid round picks for future years of a
Speaker 2: fake draft that I'm not actually participating in. But I
Speaker 2: did it ar when you.
Speaker 4: Were doing this, and I'm watching Drastic Park at the
Speaker 4: same time.
Speaker 2: I was all right, mock draft number three, This one
Speaker 2: is more standard. We're not making major trades. Dwan Jones,
Speaker 2: tackle out of Ohio State, is there at thirty one.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs address their tackle issue draft a corner in
Speaker 2: round three. But what about round two? Oh do you
Speaker 2: see that on your screen?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you do? See then screen DeAndre Hopkins four and
Speaker 2: the ninety sixth pick of the draft four, the sixty
Speaker 2: third pick, one hundred and thirty fifth pick, and the
Speaker 2: two hundred and sixteenth pick. So the Chiefs have just
Speaker 2: tackle Andre for DeAndre Hopkins and then mock draft number four.
Speaker 2: If you want to see it, it's up on the
Speaker 2: screen right now. This is no trades. We're just going
Speaker 2: straight forward and Tom Harrison slides the tackle out of Oklahoma,
Speaker 2: draft him, then say Flowers is available. You're yawning. You're doing, Deanna,
Speaker 2: this is boring to you. My mock drafts, my fake drafts.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, but the real draft's gonna happen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, all right.
Speaker 2: I have a confession to make. I texted the Chiefs
Speaker 2: to you about this. He did, Yeah, he.
Speaker 4: Didn't even respond.
Speaker 2: He didn't. I know he did like text him.
Speaker 4: Probably like Nick write that said, dork, I'm not responding.
Speaker 2: To this grinding my drafts all weekend?
Speaker 4: You the pointers do fisk a truth.
Speaker 2: I texted him and he left me on Red. That's
Speaker 2: the first time he's ever left me on Red. That's
Speaker 2: my buddy. Oh gosh, Brett Beach, somebody send these to Brett.
Speaker 2: These are good drafts. These are good drafts.
Speaker 4: You might want to send him a follow up.
Speaker 2: It alone. Uh, but you know what, see you laugh
Speaker 2: at me. I'll as you say, I'm just a doric
Speaker 2: And why do I do this? So I did that
Speaker 2: Saturday and Sunday yesterday, and I'm we can't go into
Speaker 2: deep details on this, but did I not get a
Speaker 2: phone call with someone inquiring if I wanted to be
Speaker 2: a part of a professional sports teams front office. Correct,
Speaker 2: that did happen?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure he didn't see this.
Speaker 2: Well it's also basketball and not football. But still, this
Speaker 2: is that you keep the.
Speaker 4: Mind moving the Yeah, you have an awesome brain. Oh
Speaker 4: thank you, take that away from you.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, let's go on to our game. The game.
Speaker 2: Here is mini bracket. Explain it to me, Dan po.
Speaker 4: Uh bracket to unpack it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the name of the game. Bracket to unpack it.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, eighteen bracket and you fill it out. We
Speaker 4: are going to do NBA duos.
Speaker 2: Okay, so let me give the context of this. I
Speaker 2: don't really do a March Madness bracket, and the producers
Speaker 2: made fun of me because they're like, on Nick is,
Speaker 2: you know, can't give his March Maddness picks, but can't
Speaker 2: do a seven round NFL mock draft. I think it's
Speaker 2: important to stay focused on things you actually know about,
Speaker 2: not pretend you know all about stuff you don't know about.
Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, what go ahead and speak.
Speaker 4: On Pretend that you know certain music and you don't.
Speaker 4: You pretend on a lot of things.
Speaker 2: Hold on a second, let's just talk about this real quick.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Danielle thinks that if I don't know all the words
Speaker 2: to a song, I'm not allowed to sing along.
Speaker 4: You can't sing along to something that you don't know
Speaker 4: the words.
Speaker 2: What about I mean, she loves stupid.
Speaker 4: It's like seeing black Like, what are you doing?
Speaker 5: Bro?
Speaker 4: Like you don't know the words?
Speaker 2: Just I know some of the words.
Speaker 4: If you know some of the words, they say that
Speaker 4: one word and then move on.
Speaker 2: Danielle's favorite group, New Edition was at.
Speaker 4: My favorite childhood group.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, was at the Prudential Center in Jersey.
Speaker 4: It was so good, dang great concert.
Speaker 2: So she's been talking about this concert so long. And
Speaker 2: if you don't own a New Edition, it's like love music. Yeah,
Speaker 2: R and B.
Speaker 4: And Keith Way and Guy all R and B, all.
Speaker 2: R and B and so she had been talking about
Speaker 2: this concert, and I assumed we were going together to
Speaker 2: this concert because it's intimate, sweet music you want to
Speaker 2: share with a loved one. Danielle tells me on Saturday.
Speaker 2: She says, have you gotten the New Edition tickets yet?
Speaker 2: I'm like no, I was waiting. There's a lot available,
Speaker 2: seeing you know, if some better ones come available, we'll
Speaker 2: be able to get them. She's like, all right, I
Speaker 2: need three tickets. And I said, who's going with us?
Speaker 2: And she looked at me and said you're going. I said,
Speaker 2: what do you mean? Am I going? She's like, you
Speaker 2: don't like New Edition? I was like, I don't love them,
Speaker 2: But she's like, you don't even know the songs. It
Speaker 2: won't be fun. I'm won with my friends.
Speaker 4: It's not fun going to a concert with somebody and
Speaker 4: they don't even know the artists. Like it isn't like
Speaker 4: you got to jam with the person you with and
Speaker 4: I can't jam with you. I'm there, you know what
Speaker 4: I'm saying.
Speaker 2: But you didn't even jam with Ashley.
Speaker 4: Yes, I did.
Speaker 2: You went up to the front without them.
Speaker 4: Oh that was just for a little bit. They didn't
Speaker 4: want to move around. I mean, I'm a bigger fan
Speaker 4: of them. That would have been the same with you.
Speaker 4: At least when I came back to them, they were
Speaker 4: still jamming and singing the songs with me. You just
Speaker 4: be okay, all right, okay, let's go back to the
Speaker 4: Let's go back to the bracketing.
Speaker 2: Bracket of NBA duos. The producers have seeded these they
Speaker 2: have not shown me the seedings, So it's eight NBA duos.
Speaker 2: Tell me then one through eight Danielle.
Speaker 4: A Bead and Hardened one Yeah, two, Durant and Booker, three,
Speaker 4: Tatum and Brown, four, Giannis sent True Yeah, five Kawhi
Speaker 4: and pj pg pg my Bad, six, Steph and cut Clay, seven,
Speaker 4: Luca and Kyrie. Eight Lebron and a D.
Speaker 2: Having Lebron and a D is the eight seed in
Speaker 2: this is an outrage.
Speaker 4: I think it sounds about right there.
Speaker 2: No, it does not sound right. Put the graphic, but
Speaker 2: that means Lebron and a D are facing Embiid and
Speaker 2: Harden in round one. Those might be my top two
Speaker 2: seeds and one of them is gonna have to go home.
Speaker 2: So to me, Embiids better than Anthony Davis. But when
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis is at his best, it's close. Lebron and
Speaker 2: Harden's not close. Harden's not going to be able to
Speaker 2: guard Lebron at all in this two on two game,
Speaker 2: Lebron and ad advance, Lebron and ad advance over and
Speaker 2: beat and Harden. What'd you say you? Yeah? I listen,
Speaker 2: I I picked the.
Speaker 4: Awesome.
Speaker 2: He's been awesome, and we like the sixers because our
Speaker 2: friend Darryl and there might pick to win the East.
Speaker 2: But there's a two on two game. We're going Lebron
Speaker 2: and ad Giannis and Drew versus Kahi and Paul George
Speaker 2: is a very easy one. Neither Kawhi nor Paul George
Speaker 2: have any stop of hope of have any hope of
Speaker 2: stopping Giannis getting into the rim. Jannis and Drew move on.
Speaker 2: Let's go to the other side of the bracket if
Speaker 2: we can. The other side, Oh, the other side of
Speaker 2: the bracket. There we go Katie and Booker versus Luca
Speaker 2: and Kyrie. I gotta go Katie and Booker. There's just
Speaker 2: not enough defense. The problem is whom Luco put up
Speaker 2: some resistance. Three is just gonna get shot over by
Speaker 2: either of these guys every single time. Then Tatum and
Speaker 2: Brown against Stephan clay Clay, I don't that's a really
Speaker 2: tough one. I'm gonna go Stephan Clay.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The Steph's ball handling and the shooting there is enough
Speaker 2: to overcome the physical, imposing, imposing nature of Tatum and Brown.
Speaker 2: So we have, I mean, talk about a lot of upsets.
Speaker 2: We have a two, a four, a six, and an eight.
Speaker 2: Left side of the bracket, Lebron and a d against
Speaker 2: Giannis and Drew. I'm going Giannis and Drew. Giannis is too.
Speaker 3: Good, unstoppable, and Drew is such a good defender he
Speaker 3: could give Lebron some trouble as far as dribbling and
Speaker 3: ball handling.
Speaker 2: Drew can knock down shots just well enough. Jannis and Drew.
Speaker 2: Right side of the bracket Katie and Booker against Stephan Clay.
Speaker 2: You've got to go Katie and Booker because of the
Speaker 2: shot that they are close to Stephan Clay and shot
Speaker 2: making and this size advantage is so substantial. So now
Speaker 2: we end up with Katie and Booker against Giannis and Drew,
Speaker 2: and I'm going Giannis and Drew. Giannis is so clearly
Speaker 2: right now the best player in the league, and Drew
Speaker 2: is one of the most underrated players in the last
Speaker 2: fifteen years in the NBA. Jannis and Drew, that's my
Speaker 2: best NBA duo right now. I like NBA talk, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know. That's why it's a good time for you
Speaker 2: to be on the show. Yeah, exactly that you don't
Speaker 2: love you really. Danielle actively dislikes football because of the
Speaker 2: time it takes from me man, and she likes the
Speaker 2: Chiefs but doesn't watch the games with me and gets
Speaker 2: frustrated with it. But you love the NBA, all right,
Speaker 2: you know what I like to talk about? Like you, Danpo,
Speaker 2: we answer your take a quick sixty second break, come
Speaker 2: back and answer questions that you guys have for Danielle.
Speaker 2: Next What's right? All right? Welcome back in What's Right
Speaker 2: with Nick? Right, I'm told before we get to the
Speaker 2: questions for Danielle. Uh, the producers found Demonse in Los Angeles?
Speaker 2: Are we doing that now? Oh? Look, Oh, there's that's
Speaker 2: pretty good. It's a good photoshop. I think Demonse would
Speaker 2: love surfing. I've never thought of that. He should learn
Speaker 2: that when he's out there. What come on, what.
Speaker 4: Can we get him settled before we tell start trying something?
Speaker 2: Okay, surfing, he's a great athlete. I think he'd love it.
Speaker 2: I think he'd get along with surfers.
Speaker 4: He's been breaking things.
Speaker 2: It's hard to break things in the ocean.
Speaker 4: He can break something in the oceanic.
Speaker 2: It's hard to break things.

Speaker 4: freaking rio that way.
Speaker 2: Oh that was bad, man, that was bad. I've had,
Speaker 2: you know what, I've had a lot of injuries in
Speaker 2: the ocean. Danielle and I were on a trip once.
Speaker 2: We were we were in Jamaica and we were in
Speaker 2: Kingston actually not one of the big touristing spots. We
Speaker 2: were in Kingston and we drove rented a car and
Speaker 2: drove to a place right basically right on the coast,
Speaker 2: right by a place called line Key, and they were like,
Speaker 2: the hotel, we stayed there for one night. We got there,
Speaker 2: rent at the hotel. We were the only people at
Speaker 2: the hotel, only people at the restaurant. They were like,
Speaker 2: in the morning, you should go out to line Key,
Speaker 2: Like how do we get there? Like, well, you rent
Speaker 2: a boat, they drop you. And the guy was like,
Speaker 2: but don't pay them until they pick you up. Like huh, Like, well,
Speaker 2: if you pay them before they come back and get you,
Speaker 2: they might not kick it up. And we decided to
Speaker 2: go anyway, and we went. It was unbelievable still to
Speaker 2: this today, I think the most people place I ever been,
Speaker 2: because we were on this island all by our ourselves.
Speaker 2: We walked, we walked, yeah, it was so hot. Walked
Speaker 2: around the whole perimeter of it and then we got
Speaker 2: to this area where I went out in the water
Speaker 2: and Danielle was like, come back, and I'm like no,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna walk around to the other side. And you
Speaker 2: were like, there's gonna be reef and you're gonna get hurt.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, I'm fine. And I started walking
Speaker 2: and about halfway through where I was in no man's land,
Speaker 2: couldn't go back and had to keep going. It was
Speaker 2: nothing but reef everywhere, and I kept getting knocked over
Speaker 2: by the waves and Daniels standing on the beach just
Speaker 2: like are you okay? Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Speaker 2: I got out of the water and my legs were
Speaker 2: just cut up for days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got a whole rash from it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't great. I also I you know what,
Speaker 2: I also in Aruba cut my foot open on that
Speaker 2: water bouncy house thing and had to man man, I
Speaker 2: slew my foot clean across deep gash. See the muscle
Speaker 2: type of gash. I I didn't even realize it at first.
Speaker 2: Then my daughter saw it and I was bleeding everywhere.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, oh, I'll be okay, and I swim
Speaker 2: back to shore, go to the lady who sold us
Speaker 2: the tickets of the Bounty House things in the water.
Speaker 2: She freaks out calls an ambulance. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 2: need an ambulance. I can drive myself at a hospital.
Speaker 2: I tell my wife and daughters, guys, I have to
Speaker 2: go to the hospital. What did you guys do?
Speaker 4: Okay, let us know when you get this.
Speaker 2: They stayed on the bouncy houses.
Speaker 4: It was our first day there, and you were doing
Speaker 4: way too much. It was it was like Nick was jumping.
Speaker 4: He was just thinking that he was a little kid.
Speaker 4: You were doing too much.
Speaker 2: And I had to drive myself to the hospital in
Speaker 2: Aruba get stitched up by a medical student.
Speaker 4: It was your foot. It wasn't your ribs or anything.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right. Questions for Danielle rex Smith. Everyone only
Speaker 2: has one question. How does she live with Nick? Lol?
Speaker 2: You want to answer that?
Speaker 4: How do I live with Nick? I guess I just
Speaker 4: live with you. Just funny. I think we do great.
Speaker 4: We get along, ready to watch the same things, we
Speaker 4: love to eat the same things. I don't know. We

Speaker 2: said to me the other day, Like what you said
Speaker 2: that I Danielle said to me, she said, you don't
Speaker 2: even want to argue, you just want to debate.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, now that that's different, Like how do I
Speaker 4: argue with you that? I just I'm not arguing with you.
Speaker 4: It's just like Nick can know that I'm right, but
Speaker 4: still want to go back and forth to to I
Speaker 4: don't know, say that I'm right in a different way.
Speaker 4: It's freaking crazy. I don't It's it's insane. So I
Speaker 4: just go to a point where I'm like, I'm not

Speaker 2: The times you're not right?
Speaker 4: I'm usually right?
Speaker 2: Jamie Fisher says, how did you and Nick meet? Seem
Speaker 2: very different? But I guess opposites are tract Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was a club promoter in Kansas City at this
Speaker 4: place called the Hangout on Thursday nights. It was my
Speaker 4: night Bird Entertainment and Nick came to my event faithfully
Speaker 4: every Thursday, and uh, I would talk to me about

Speaker 2: I pursued her for quite some time. She always liked me.
Speaker 4: I always liked you, You always liked me. I didn't
Speaker 4: know that I liked him.

Speaker 2: really dating people that she had never can I say this?
Speaker 2: Uh huh? She had never dated a white guy.
Speaker 4: No, And so yeah, Nick Wright was my first white
Speaker 4: guy the way to.
Speaker 2: Start, Okay, Charles King? Is Nick harder to deal with
Speaker 2: after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl? Or after they
Speaker 2: lost the Super Bowl or were not knocked out of
Speaker 2: the playoffs? Where am I harder to deal with? If
Speaker 2: the Chiefs season ends and tragedy as it did the
Speaker 2: last couple of years prior to this year, or after
Speaker 2: they won the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4: I don't know, you were really bad when they lost. Yeah,
Speaker 4: like I think you were like in depression for like
Speaker 4: six weeks straight. It was pretty bad. Like it was like,
Speaker 4: as she was, I don't even want to talk about it,
Speaker 4: And then when you come out and tell me, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I understand why you didn't want to talk about it.
Speaker 4: That's stupid.
Speaker 2: I was so upset.
Speaker 4: You were really upset.
Speaker 2: I was so upset. Yeah, And Danielle finally came and
Speaker 2: she's like, what is going on with you? And I
Speaker 2: was like, I know you're gonna think it's stupid, and
Speaker 2: she was this like weeks later, she was like, is
Speaker 2: this about the Chiefs? Like you were understand Yeah, that
Speaker 2: was not great. It was who's Danielle's favorite NBA player?
Speaker 4: Who's my favorite NBA player right now? I kind of
Speaker 4: like flip it up. I guess my my all around
Speaker 4: favorite was Chris Paul.
Speaker 2: Chris Paul for a long time, Yeah, CP is he
Speaker 2: a lot?
Speaker 4: I love Durant. When Durant and Russ played together, like,
Speaker 4: that was my my favorite duel. I left them together.
Speaker 2: Do you want to tell because we were staying at
Speaker 2: the same hotel as Durant in Phoenix.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, this is so so Durant gets out of
Speaker 4: his car.
Speaker 2: So I had already seen days before. I had seen
Speaker 2: Durant in the lobby, said hello to him. He obviously
Speaker 2: I don't. He and I have an odd I don't
Speaker 2: even even call a relationship dynamic, but we said hello,
Speaker 2: shook hands. That was that Dale wasn't with me. Then
Speaker 2: a couple of days later, I'm not with her.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, yeah, and he pulls up and uh, he
Speaker 4: gets out of the car and I say to my friend.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, it's this Durant. And
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, d I'm a big fan of yours.
Speaker 4: And I was like I didn't even know what to say.
Speaker 4: I was just like, I'm a big fan of yours.
Speaker 4: You know, why did you leave the Nets? And he's like, oh,
Speaker 4: what did he say?
Speaker 2: He said you're a Nets fan?
Speaker 4: Like, oh, he said you're a Nets fan? I said, yeah,
Speaker 4: actually I see his tickets. I'm gonna miss you there.
Speaker 4: Oh what's your name? I was like, why did you leave?
Speaker 4: I was scared to tell him who I was.
Speaker 2: Because Kad had a whole night's interaction with him and
Speaker 2: at no point was like, you know, my husband, the whole.
Speaker 4: Thing, No I'm not going to tell him I'm Nick
Speaker 4: Wright's wife at the time. You know, maybe if I
Speaker 4: saw him again, maybe, but I was in shock.
Speaker 2: Danielle, do you like the tracksuits Nick wears?
Speaker 4: Be honest, I like most of them. I wish he
Speaker 4: would retire some of them earlier, but otherwise, yeah, I
Speaker 4: like the tracksuits. It's his things. I like it. When
Speaker 4: Nick and I first got together, he would wear track
Speaker 4: suits and there were two sizes too big for him.
Speaker 4: So I'll take the ones that he wears now.
Speaker 2: By the way, the previous questions, I don't know if
Speaker 2: I said it. Rex Smith, Jamie Fisher, Charles King, I
Speaker 2: trust me. And Brett Defour are the ones who asked.
Speaker 2: Hosk asks, have you had any awkward interactions any of
Speaker 2: your customers a Trentage because of Nick?
Speaker 4: Not awkward. I do get men that come in here
Speaker 4: actually looking for Nick, like he works here. But I
Speaker 4: love those encounters because they come in here and they
Speaker 4: buy something for somebody or you know, it works out great.
Speaker 4: It's not. I don't think that's weird. I think I'm
Speaker 4: used to that by now.
Speaker 2: Leam Patten ask what's something interesting about Nick that not
Speaker 2: a lot of people know.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know what to say. I
Speaker 4: don't know. I don't want to embarrass him on anything.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Can I tell him about the little hair?
Speaker 2: Sure? I've seen it though. Yeah.
Speaker 4: You see how Nick always like twists his hair, He
Speaker 4: literally like pulls it out like. That's why he has
Speaker 4: like all these patches on his beard, because he like
Speaker 4: yanks his hair out of his face and everywhere else
Speaker 4: on his body. I think it's so weird. It's just
Speaker 4: I don't know you're doing. I guess that was when
Speaker 4: I made me think about it, because you're literally doing
Speaker 4: it at right now?
Speaker 2: All right? Last one, Ryan Fitzgerald Danielle. Should Demonsey keep
Speaker 2: showing us so much leg on camera?
