00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: Welcome in episode sixty four of What's Right with Nick Wright,

20
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: the podcast and YouTube show. And before we even get

21
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: into today's show, before we get into what we're not

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: discussing on today's show, I want to discuss what's happening

23
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: on the television side of things. As was announced yesterday morning,

24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: we have a new FS one lineup. First Things First

25
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 3: is now moving to the afternoons. You might say it's

26
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 3: still called First Things First. Your damn straight, it's still

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: called First Things First. Have to help build that brain

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 3: for five years or not changed the damn name and

29
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: it still works. Yeah, it doesn't work time wise, But

30
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: you know how people start arguments a lot, they say

31
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: First Things First. Let me tell you something. Even hip

32
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: hop songs have it a lot, So it doesn't have

33
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: to be in the morning. Was Biggie only wrapping in

34
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 3: the mornings when he did? No, he wasn't, So the

35
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: name is staying in the mornings. However, Craig Carton is

36
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: coming to FS one. Listen. If you're not in the

37
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: New York area, you're not familiar with Craig, or you're

38
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: only familiar with Craig because of the controversy that he

39
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 3: was involved in a few years ago. I'm gonna say this,

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 3: Craig Carton is as talented a broadcaster as exists in

41
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: the nation on the sports side of things. He's a

42
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: Syracuse guy like I am, so I'm also partial to him.

43
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: He also used to have me on his radio show,

44
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: so I go a long way back with Craig. I

45
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: could not be happier that he is the one taking

46
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 3: over mornings on FS one. Then there's undisputed unchanged the

47
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 3: Herd changed in this regard. Joey Taylor no longer gonna

48
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: be alongside Colin and said, is Jason McIntyre more on

49
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: Joy in a moment?

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 4: Then?

51
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 3: And I've had great partners on First Things First over

52
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: the five years one two hundred and fifty eight shows

53
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 3: that we've done, of which I've been a part of

54
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: one thousand, two hundred and probably forty of them. But

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: my two best partners ever are Kevin Wilds and Chris Brussard.

56
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: That is First Things First, moving forward three pm Eastern

57
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: every day three pm to four thirty, me Brew Wilds.

58
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: That then leads to Emmanuel Acho Joy Taylor. That's why

59
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: she's leaving the Herd. She's joining Acho and LaShaun McCoy

60
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: Shady McCoy, former great NFL running back. So that's the end.

61
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: Then NASCAR Race Hub for our racing fans. So seven

62
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 3: am to seven pm Eastern we are live. I am

63
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: thrilled for a million different reasons. There's an emotional side

64
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 3: of it for me, which is I get to now

65
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: take the baton from Colin Cowhard, which is a dream

66
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: come true. There's a personal side of it for me.

67
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: For ten years in a row, I've had pre five

68
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 3: am wake up calls that's now gone. I have not

69
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: been able to take my kids to school for a

70
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: single day. For the entirety of your little sister's life,

71
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: I've never taken her to school. I now could take

72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: them to school, and because of the schedule, I get

73
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: to pick her up from school every day. The last

74
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: time I took anyone to school to monsday was when

75
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 3: you were in junior high school. Our entirety of the

76
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: time living in Houston, I was doing mornings. Entirety of

77
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: the time living in New York, I was doing mornings.

78
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: So from a personal standpoint, it's great and sleep. If

79
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 3: I'm going to be totally candid, I also think the

80
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 3: sports media landscape in that time frame that we're on,

81
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: there's an opening to make some noise. So for all

82
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: those reasons, I'm excited. I'm excited. Oh and we're in

83
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 3: a brand new studio. So all that's coming Tuesday. This

84
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 3: coming Tuesday, the new FS one lineup. That's the television

85
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: promo portion of the podcast. Now to the podcast portion

86
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: of the podcast, before we get to our topics here,

87
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: as we always do, is what did not make the show?

88
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: What did not make the show is cam Smith, the

89
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: number two rank golfer in the world, going to the

90
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: Live Tour for one hundred million dollars. When I saw

91
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: this news is the first time I was like, ooh,

92
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: PGA Tours gotta start being nervous now. Now the if

93
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 3: they offered Tiger eight hundred million, he said no, if

94
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: Tiger or Rory left, I don't know if the PGA

95
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 3: Tour could withstand it. Now. I don't think they will,

96
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: but they lost, can't they now have? The Live Tour

97
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: is making serious inroads now, Julian Edelman teases is on retirement.

98
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: Nobody cares Julian, and a question of an over under

99
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: four and a half honey deuces that I consumed at

100
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 3: the US Open last yesterday when I was there all day.

101
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 3: The answers under The answer is under, sir, I'm a

102
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: responsible man. It's not under by a lot, but it's under.

103
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if we're saving that. I think that

104
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 4: might come up later.

105
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: It might come up later in the show. Okay, listen,

106
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: I'm now before we get to the show, since you've

107
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 3: decided to use the word schmizz before I even have

108
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 3: introduced you, I'm going to say on the air, but

109
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: I keep telling you off the air you have gotten

110
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 3: too comfortable, not too comfortable in what you're saying, but

111
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: in how you're delivering it. You see my excitement, you

112
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 3: see my energy. You're just like you seemed pretty schmiz bro.

113
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 3: That's not gonna play. Need I need a little more

114
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: energy from you, my partner in our brand new studio.

115
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 3: All right, demanse, what are we starting the show with today?

116
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 5: Jimmy g is officially returning to the forty nine Ers YEP.

117
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 5: Is the highest paid backup quarterback YEP. Forty nine Ers

118
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 5: couldn't find a trade partner all off season.

119
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: YEP.

120
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 5: Does this mean that nobody wanted Jimmy or the forty

121
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 5: nine Ers aren't quite in on Trey Lance yet.

122
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 3: Oh see, this is not about Trey Lance. This is

123
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: about the fact that Jimmy Garoppolo and his agent and

124
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: the Niners, they surveyed the landscape and they said, will

125
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: anyone in football give up even a sixth round pick

126
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: to have Jimmy Garoppolo for more than twenty million dollars?

127
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: The answer was no. Then the question was, okay, if

128
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 3: Jimmy were to take eight million dollar pay cut and

129
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: gonna instead of making around twenty four million, if he

130
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: was gonna make sixteen million, will anyone give us a

131
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: fourth round pick if he's cheaper? The answer was no.

132
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: So the Niners then had to make this decision. Should

133
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: we just release him and get no value for him whatsoever?

134
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: Or is there an amount of money that is in

135
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: line with top flight backup quarterbacks that he will accept

136
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 3: that he will be in on that. Obviously, for the Niners,

137
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: who is the best possible backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. The

138
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: guy who knows the system, who's been there, who knows

139
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: the players, knows the personnel. So if you want to say, well,

140
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 3: Tyrod Taylor is a great backup quarterback Finer Teddy Bridgewater.

141
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: Those guys are great backup quarterbacks, and some people would

142
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 3: say I'd rather have those guys. If you were on

143
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 3: the Seahawks, would you rather have those guys as your

144
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: backup quarterback?

145
00:07:58,800 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 4: Maybe?

146
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: But on the nine, Jimmy Garoppolo is the best backup

147
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: quarterback by a mile because he knows the system, He's

148
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: familiar with everybody. This is not about people that don't

149
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: want either they don't want Trey Lance to succeed, or

150
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: more accurately, they are emotionally or take wise invested in

151
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 3: Jimmy Garoppolo being more than he was. Are trying to

152
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: turn this into an indictment on Trey Lance. It is

153
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: not an indictment on Trey Lance. It is the Niners,

154
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: in my opinion, taking advantage of the fact that nobody

155
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 3: wanted Jimmy Garoppolo, and that's why he was willing to

156
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: accept six million dollars as his salary. And I'll add this,

157
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: I know he has a quote no trade clause unquote

158
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: not really what that means is they won't trade him

159
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: anywhere he doesn't want to go. But no team would

160
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: trade for jim Garoppolo if he doesn't want to be there,

161
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 3: because nobody wants their quarterback to not want to be there.

162
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: So what the Niners did here in getting him to

163
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 3: agree to this lower salary that he can make, you know,

164
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: an extra ten million with playtime incentives, is it made

165
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: him exponentially more trade a bull. Why because if somebody's

166
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: quarterback goes down in the first couple months.

167
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 4: Of the seasons, contract.

168
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: Exactly right, and then you go to Jimmy and say, hey,

169
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 3: there's this team they would like to trade for you.

170
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: We couldn't get a sixth round pick for you. They're

171
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 3: desperate right now, They'll give us a third round pick

172
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: for you? Or do you want to go there and

173
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: become the starter? So I think this is a win

174
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: for the Niners. I think this is a way to

175
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 3: save face a bit. If you're Jimmy Garoppolo, I do

176
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: not look at this as an indictment on Trey Lance whatsoever.

177
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: Not at all. Is this an indictment on Trey Lance?

178
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: All right? What's next?

179
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 5: The Eagles trading for a new defensive back yesterday and

180
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 5: suddenly everyone is in on them.

181
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 4: They had a good we had a good draft and

182
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 4: got aj Brown.

183
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 5: Dallas is already down Tyron Smith and Washington and Giants

184
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 5: aren't very good. The Eagles are now plus one forty

185
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 5: to win the division. Yeah, are you in on that?

186
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 3: No, I listen Tyrone Smith's injury for Dallas's massive right, it's,

187
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: in my opinion, the biggest injury that has happened this offseason. Okay,

188
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: there's there's no question about it. I think, though, there

189
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 3: has been a little too big of an overreaction, and

190
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: I think the Eagles became like the out of nowhere

191
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: the in team. Right. My buddy Adam Lefgo, who does

192
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: a great job on inside the NBA. He and I

193
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: went to college together. He used to have an amazing

194
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: football podcast. He's still a great NFL guy, but people

195
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: know him for the NBA, so he's a diehard Eagles fan.

196
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 3: He texted me when I was in Italy saying he

197
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: was crushed. I wasn't picking the Eagles to win the division.

198
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: I understand the Eagles have an excellent roster, and I

199
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: understand the Eagles, or at least I believe they have

200
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 3: a better coach than Dallas because their coach is at

201
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy. I get all of this. I think people

202
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 3: are glossing over too quickly the deficited quarterback between Dak

203
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: Prescott and Jalen Hurts. I would like to believe in

204
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts. I like the people that represent him. I

205
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: like the way he handled himself in college. I think

206
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 3: he has been a tremendous young man, and I think

207
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: he has conducted himself at every stage of his career

208
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 3: with class and grace. H I think he's probably the

209
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 3: twenty fifth best starting quarterback in football. I'm doing that

210
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 3: off the top of my head. And listen, this is

211
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 3: one of them. This is could be the Andrew Wiggins moment.

212
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: This could be the time that someone says, oh you

213
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 3: doubted this guy. May be and I'll be happy to

214
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: be wrong about it. But and maybe I'm a little

215
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: too scarred from that playoff game against Tampa where he

216
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: looked so in over his head. But the Eagles to me,

217
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: Chauncey Gardner Johnson's a nice player. He's a good slot corner.

218
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 3: It looks like the Eagles are gonna play him at safety.

219
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 3: And they got him for I mean, getting him for

220
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 3: a fifth round pick is great value. I understand that.

221
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 3: But he is not a good enough player that. I

222
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: feel like the reaction to this trade was as if

223
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 3: they had just traded for for what's a good example

224
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: of someone who's been traded recently. It was a reaction

225
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: like when it was similar to the Chargers acquiring Khalil Mack. Now,

226
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: Khalil's been banged up the last couple of years, but

227
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: it's like, oh my god, look this guy could transform

228
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: their defense. I don't look at it that way at all.

229
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 3: I look at this as a nice addition. And I

230
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 3: like the Eagles offensive line. I love the Jordan Davis kid.

231
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 3: I wanted the Chiefs to draft him. The A lot

232
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: of things about the Eagles I like, and I understand

233
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: the cow The left tackle injury with Tyron Smith is

234
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: a major one. But I looked at the Cowboys as

235
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: being three games better than the Eagles going into the season,

236
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 3: or you know, a month ago. Does Tyron Smith's injury

237
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: and Chauncey Gardner Johnson's edition is that a three game jump?

238
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 6: To me?

239
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 3: It is not. It is not a three game jump.

240
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 3: And so the if the when the Eagles were right

241
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 3: now you said plus one forty, they're dead even with Dallas,

242
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 3: depending on where you get it, they're both plus one

243
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 3: forty five or one team plus one forty one teams

244
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: plus one thirty five. They are almost identical. Do I

245
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 3: think the Eagles are as good as the Cowboys? I don't.

246
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: I flatly don't. And so no, I'm not I'm gonna

247
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 3: beat They've become like the hipster pick. I listened to

248
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 3: Bill Simmons talk about could they be the one seed,

249
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: what their props on them going to the Super Bowl are.

250
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, it's still to me

251
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: is a coach and quarterback league, and I have major

252
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: questions about their quarterback and significant questions about their coach.

253
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 3: And so no, I'm still gonna go with Dallas. Not

254
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 3: I think it's a mediocre division, but I soldink Dallas

255
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: the best team in the division, all right.

256
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 4: Next A Genie Buss said it christ yeah.

257
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 5: The set in an interview with the athletic Russell Westbrook

258
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 5: was the Lakers' best player last season.

259
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 3: Oh, that's delightful.

260
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 5: She eventually walked it back and said that the word

261
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 5: that she should have used was consistent, and she said

262
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 5: it's really tough to when when Anthony Davis isn't on

263
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 5: the court and Lebron was actually hurt a lot of

264
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 5: the season, but Russ showed up every game and played

265
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 5: as hard as he could every night. Yeah, she actually

266
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 5: backing Russ or is she trying to increase his trade value?

267
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: I listen with Genie Buss, you never know. I honestly

268
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 3: don't know what she's doing. There is no Uni averse

269
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 3: where Here's what Russell Westbrook was for the Lakers. He

270
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 3: was the most available player. He was at and played

271
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: eighty games. He was the most available player.

272
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 4: Does available not full hand in hand with like consistent?

273
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 3: Well, listen if and I I am using this just

274
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 3: simply as a metaphor. Because you are not late for work,

275
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 3: you are great at this. But if you were late

276
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: for work every single day, that is consistent, you are

277
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: consistently late. So in this regard, Russ was consistent. He

278
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 3: was consistently terrible. Every night you knew it. Russ was

279
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 3: going to show up, play thirty plus minutes and be back.

280
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 4: Okay.

281
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 3: So I don't think that's what she was meaning, though,

282
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 3: And when calling him their best he was here and back.

283
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: Calling him their best player is an absurdity. Look, Lebron

284
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: was sensation last year. Yeah, Lebron was thirty eight and

285
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 3: six on better than fifty percent from the field. Now,

286
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: he missed twenty games, missed the quarter of the season.

287
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 3: That's a problem, and that's why Lebron wasn't the best

288
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: forward or this. If Lebron had put up those numbers

289
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 3: and played seventy five games, he would have been the

290
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 3: second best forward in the league last year, behind Gianni's

291
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: It would have been Giannis and Lebron. Because he did

292
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: miss those games, one could argue Tatum was better some

293
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: are you know Durant missed a bunch of games too.

294
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: Durant's numbers were similar, like because he missed those games.

295
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 3: That's why you knock him down a pick. But Russ

296
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 3: was below. Russ was a hindrance to winning when he

297
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: was on the court. You would have been better off

298
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: with just a random bench player. And so the last year,

299
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that's who he's gonna be for the

300
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: rest of his career, but that's what he was last year.

301
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 3: That is what he was. It didn't fit, it didn't work.

302
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 3: He also seemed to get worse at the things that

303
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 3: he hadn't been good at before, like his I mean

304
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 3: some of it. I mean, there's a long highlight reel

305
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 3: of this obviously of the stuff yes, yeah, I mean

306
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 3: shots by four feet yeah, and the no. I think

307
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 3: he got in his own head and that was a

308
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 3: problem for him. Like I don't think Russ is done

309
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: as an NBA player. I'm not arguing that, but it

310
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 3: shouldn't be debatable what he was last year. So why

311
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 3: would Genie Bus say this? Either because she's being irrational

312
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: or because they are trying to find a way to

313
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 3: build up his trade value a bit. Now, I don't

314
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 3: think think Bus's quotes build up much. Go ahead, what

315
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 3: do you think?

316
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 5: I think it's like, hey, man, he's gonna be here

317
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 5: next year. You might as well give him a little

318
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 5: bit of confidence.

319
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 3: You know, he can't be there next year. They can't

320
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 3: actually be they have to.

321
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 5: When you're speaking from like an emotional standpoint, I feel.

322
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 4: Like to a agree, yeah, I think he's gonna be there.

323
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 3: Now, you think he's gonna be there all year? I

324
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 3: mean I don't. You'll just be punting on this season.

325
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 3: You just you can't win. Now if Russ would, it.

326
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 4: All depends on how the start of the season goes.

327
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 5: Like the I feel like the only knowledge that we

328
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 5: have is of what Rust did last year.

329
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: That's fair.

330
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 5: I have no idea how I feel like these players

331
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 5: are gonna mesh this coming year what they've done during

332
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 5: the offseason.

333
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 3: But no, that's fair. I just don't Rust doesn't seem

334
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: like he's gonna change. And Russ needs to be on

335
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 3: a team that he is the focal point of that

336
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 3: he has the ball in his hands, because when when

337
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: he is that, you get the good of him. Yeah,

338
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 3: the good of him is the energy, the intensity, the

339
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 3: freedom for him to drive to the basket. And you

340
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: still deal with the bad, but at least you get

341
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 3: the good. When Russ is your third option, you get

342
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,239
Speaker 3: the bad, the lackadaisical defense, the lack of spacing, all

343
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 3: that stuff without the good, right, And that was the problem,

344
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: which is why I argued all year. Have him be

345
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 3: the super sixth man, lead the bench unit. When you

346
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: take eighty and Lebron out, put Russ in. Let him

347
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: run with that, I thought, But he didn't want to

348
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: do that. We'll see what Darvinham can do. Also, we'll

349
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 3: probably see Russ in Indiana. I don't think Indiana the Lakers.

350
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: All right, what's next?

351
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 4: All right?

352
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 5: So Lebron said on Sports illustrated that he wants to

353
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 5: play in the NBA, but not one, but both of

354
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 5: his sons. Yeah, he said he's been paying attention to

355
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 5: as the twenty year, twenty twenty four, and twenty twenty

356
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 5: seven first round picks, the.

357
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: Whole twenty twenty four, twenty five, six twelve.

358
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: Okay, twenty twenty four through twenty seven. Yeah, that's what

359
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 4: dashes means.

360
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, there, but could be a lot of the Lakers

361
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 5: haven't trade any picks after twenty twenty five. Yeah, to

362
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 5: play with Bryce, Lebron will be well into his forties,

363
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 5: which is a crazy thing to think about. He says

364
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 5: he thinks he could play for a while. Who knows

365
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 5: if his sons will even be good enough to play

366
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 5: in the NBA. Yeah, do you think he's serious about this?

367
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 3: Okay, here's what I think Lebron is doing. People get

368
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 3: caught up in, Oh, is bronni really an NBA player? Oh,

369
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 3: now they're talking about Bryce? Is Bryce really an NBA player? Okay,

370
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try to be very clear because I think

371
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 3: it's so obvious what Lebron is doing, and you can

372
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: say it's bad. It is exactly what I would do

373
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 3: if I were in his position, and in a very

374
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 3: different version, it's what I have done in his position

375
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 3: in my field, leverage his own power to try to

376
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 3: get his kid foot in the door somewhere he otherwise

377
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 3: wouldn't have the chance. So Bronni is undersized. Bryce. I

378
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 3: don't think anyone's ever thought of as an NBA prospect.

379
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 3: Maybe he will be. I mean, he's very young, all right,

380
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 3: but I think Lebron recognize that as long as he

381
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 3: is performing at a high enough level, there will be

382
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: incentive for a team to take a flyer on his kid.

383
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 3: And if you believe your kid is gonna work hard enough,

384
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: train hard, have high enough character, all those things that

385
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: if he gets his foot in the door, can Seth

386
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 3: curry this thing? Because that's what happened with Seth. Seth

387
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 3: kept getting chances because of Steph, just like Yannis's brothers

388
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 3: keep getting chances because of Yanni's and Yannas's brothers haven't

389
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 3: proven to be have enough talent to be able to

390
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 3: fully take advantage of those chances, right Seth. As Seth

391
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: was cut from G League teams, Seth got cut by

392
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 3: multiple teams, and now he's gonna make eighty million dollars

393
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 3: playing pro basketball. But if it wasn't for Steph, he'd

394
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 3: have been in Europe five years ago. Teams kept giving

395
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 3: him a chance. So what Lebron is clearly doing is

396
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 3: trying to set up a scenario where if Lebron is

397
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 3: an A plus player or even an a minus player, Bud,

398
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 3: he's Lebron, so he brings all the attention, ticket sales, revenue. Right,

399
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 3: you want to be in the Lebron business, you've got

400
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 3: to also be in the Bronni business. Let's start with

401
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 3: I don't think it's because he thinks Bronni is a

402
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 3: one and done caliber player. I don't think it's because

403
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 3: he thinks Bronni is worthy of And that's the time.

404
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 3: I'll be very quick to finish this. You know, a

405
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 3: first round pick, it's I am, I'm Lebron James. If

406
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: I were in the draft, or do you spend the

407
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: twenty seventh pick on me, We'll all come play with you.

408
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 3: I'll come play with you. Would you just trade the

409
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 3: twenty seventh pick of the draft for me? Okay, bonus,

410
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 3: you also get my kid. That's the trade. Now you

411
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 3: have an investment in my kid. He gets to train

412
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 3: with me. He gets to be around me every day,

413
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: he gets to play in the G League. He might

414
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 3: have his first round pick guaranteed contract, So you haven't

415
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 3: you haven't sent it for at least two years to

416
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 3: get the most out of it. And I believe at

417
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 3: the end of that he's gonna show I can be

418
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 3: Gary Payton the second I can be a valuable role player.

419
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 3: That's the idea here, and the reason I think people

420
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 3: are missing it is maybe because they For me, it

421
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 3: is like a very personal thing, not because of Lebron

422
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 3: but because of this. Listen. The fact of the matter is,

423
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 3: and I'm not taking a shot at you at all.

424
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 3: If you you you didn't have the resume or the

425
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 3: experience because you have you do this with me, but

426
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: you also have a job with Fox. I knew that

427
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: if you got in the door, you distinguish yourself with

428
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,479
Speaker 3: your incredibly charming people like you. You're hard working and

429
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 3: you're sharp. So I leveraged it. I said, hey, take

430
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 3: the interview, knowing listen that that you were gonna really

431
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 3: have to blow that interview for them to not hire.

432
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 3: They were doing it because I have earned the respect

433
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 3: of the company over the course of six plus years

434
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 3: of employment that they're like, Okay, worst case scenario is

435
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: in six months we tell him it's not working out. Listen,

436
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 3: he's late every day, he doesn't do this whatever. But

437
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,959
Speaker 3: I knew that wouldn't happen. And so now people will say, oh,

438
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: that's nepotism. Of course it's nepotism. Of course that's what

439
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 3: it means. But well, listen, there have been a lot

440
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 3: of companies for forever. Who runs it, the kid of

441
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 3: the guy who started it? Who are those things like that?

442
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 3: It doesn't always work in sports, and it's not always

443
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 3: people that look like you or Bronni that are getting

444
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 3: to take advantage of it. But I have no shame

445
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: in that, and so I totally get what Lebron's doing.

446
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 3: I support what he's doing, and it's absolutely what I

447
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 3: would do if I were in his position. We'll be

448
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 3: right back.

449
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,360

467
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

468
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 4: I was kind of sad that you guys went without me.

469
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 3: But okay, well don't worry. It's going on for another

470
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: eleven days.

471
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 4: Okay, So we.

472
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 3: Got plenty of times you will be in attendant to

473
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 3: the US Open, don't you worry.

474
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 4: Go ahead?

475
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 5: Uh So, tough beat for Simona Hallip after you predicted

476
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 5: she'd win it, What were you?

477
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 3: No? I just you're gonna say I predicted she'd win

478
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 3: the title. Listen, I said, I am picking Nadal and

479
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 3: Cocoa golf. I said, those are my picks. I said

480
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 3: it my head, gunder my head. If I had to,

481
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,479
Speaker 3: I would have picked Medvedev and Hallip, but those I

482
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 3: those weren't my picks. My picks were Nadal and Goco Golf.

483
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 3: And I also told you guys that I was in

484
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 3: attendance at the US Open a few years ago when

485
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 3: Hallip is the one seed lost in round one, which

486
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 3: should have been a little a warning sign it could

487
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 3: happen again. So I don't try to throw shade at me.

488
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 5: But Fairy did go ahead, uh take Before Serena's next

489
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 5: match she won round one, you said that she was

490
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 5: gonna fail.

491
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 3: No, hold on a second, I said she can't win

492
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 3: the tournament. I didn't say she's gonna lose in round one. Now,

493
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: the US Open thought she was gonna lose in round one,

494
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 3: which is why this whole ceremony like it was gonna

495
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 3: be your last match, right when it's not her last match.

496
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 4: She still got it. I really think. I'm not gonna

497
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 4: say I think she's gonna win, but I really want

498
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 4: her to win.

499
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 3: I would love for her to win. Unfortunately, by the

500
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 3: time people will hear this, she will have already lost.

501
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 3: She's gonna lose.

502
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 4: Remember that.

503
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 3: I hope it's wrong. I hope that's not true. But

504
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: she's gonna lose tonight. Which is you guys are hearing

505
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,399

00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 5: in America?

510
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 3: Oh? What a question?

511
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 4: What a question.

512
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a great event. It's a great event because

513
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 3: you go early in the day, demanse. There's twenty courts, right,

514
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 3: so you have ASH, which is the huge stadium. Okay,

515
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 3: and you have to have specific If you buy a

516
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 3: ticket for ASH, you can then go to any court

517
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 3: you one. But you have actual seats for ASH. I,

518
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 3: by the way, and section fifty four, row B that's

519
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 3: center court, almost as close as you can get. It

520
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 3: was elite watch. It was elite seats. They were elite

521
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 3: seats and the entire I had section fifty four, row B,

522
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 3: seats five and six. But there's there's eight seats per section. Okay,

523
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 3: Your mom and I had been there like an hour.

524
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 3: No one else was in the other six seats in

525
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: our section. Our buddy Mark Carmon was in you know he.

526
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 4: Didn't with you guys.

527
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,959
Speaker 3: Well, he didn't have the seats that I had, but

528
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 3: so but I got him down with us. He had

529
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 3: met two girls on the plane that he brought them down,

530
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 3: so we had this whole section because there was no

531
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 3: one there. Yeah, he met these two girls from Chicago. Yeah,

532
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 3: I love it.

533
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 4: So what's up with that situation? He met them and they.

534
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: He met them on the plane. They were all going

535
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: into the US Open and they exchange numbers and then like,

536
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: by the way, hold on, I'm gonna mouse them to you. Wow,

537
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: I know, surprising, right, Yeah, I know. And so they

538
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 3: so they all sat with us and watched. But so

539
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: here's the If you have tickets to ASH, you can

540
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 3: then go anywhere you want. If you have tickets to

541
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,959
Speaker 3: Louis Armstrong, which is the second big stadium, okay, you

542
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: can go into Louis Armstrong or anywhere you want except ASH.

543
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: Or you can get grounds passes, which lets you go

544
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 3: to any of the games except the ones in uh ASH.

545
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: So Louis Armstrong there's open seating and then there's actual

546
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 3: assigned seating. So if you buy a ticket to ASH,

547
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 3: you can go to everything. But in the beginning of

548
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 3: the tournament. There's so many matches going on. You can

549
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: see the ninth rinked player in the world playing on

550
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 3: a small court over on the side. You can sit

551

557
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: Here's the thing. It's the best single location, multi day

562
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 3: for so Venus or Serena is probably gonna lose tonight.

563
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 3: If she wins tonight, it's an unbelievable She's playing the

564
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 3: number two player in the world. She's gonna lose. I

565
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 3: hope I'm wrong. She's gonna lose. Spicy Man Nadal played

569
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 3: in the rest.

570
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 4: Of the way.

571
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 3: Okay, I am so excited. I will spend a lot

572
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 3: of money to go watching the doll front right.

573
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 4: I saw n the Doll last night. I actually was

574
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 4: watching the US Open from the location that I was at.

575
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I thought you you saw him out on

576
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 3: the town in New York. No, no, he's unbelievable.

577
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 4: Yeah no, I sat last year.

578
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 3: I sat front row with Daryl Morey GM of the Sixers.

579
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he took me and we sat front row

580
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 3: to watch Djokovic. I'm gonna sit first three rows to

581
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 3: watching the Doll at some point this tournament. That's happening.

582
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 3: That's the tennis corner. More on that on Tuesday. Okay,

583
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 3: what's next?

584
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 5: Waituh, it's time for this that Yeah, this is the

585
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 5: old game. The Knicks extended RJ. Barrett complicating a deal

586
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 5: for Donovan Mitchell. Nick fans still hope it gets done.

587
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 5: It gets done. Who would Knicks be better off with

588
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 5: Donovan Mitchell or RJ Barrett?

589
00:31:52,920 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 3: Well, one for one Donovan Mitchell, but RJ. Barrett plus

590
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 3: Quentin Grimes plus a bunch of picks. I'd I'd rather

591
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: have the players than Donovan. You know what I mean,

592
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: say it again, young, I mean RJ Barrett young guys.

593
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: Of course they're young, and the draft picks are important.

594
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 3: Like I I think Donovan Mitchell is a good but

595
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 3: very flawed player, and I would be hesitant to give

596
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 3: up if you have a Donovan Mitchell, Jalen brunts and backward,

597
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: you have two six two guards that are defensive liabilities.

598
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: Like there's a clear ceiling there. I still think the

599
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 3: Knicks are gonna get Donovan. By the way, pardon me.

600
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: I know the RJ deal complicates it, but I still

601
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 3: think they're gonna get Donovan, all right.

602
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 5: Next, Baker Mayfield is ready for his Week one matchup

603
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 5: with his former team.

604
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 4: He told NFL Network he's gonna the Browns up.

605
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 3: Wow.

606
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 5: I really wanted to say that Carolina minus two point

607
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 5: five or Cleveland plus two point five, or.

608
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 3: Just so you know, when we're doing this you're new

609
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 3: to the game, things say half half, two and a half,

610
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 3: and yeah, two point five is acceptable. But it's a

611
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 3: little note to the listener, like, ah, this guy doesn't

612
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 3: bet Carolina. Okay, Carolina no, no, no, I think Baker is

613
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 3: going to come up. By the way of things up

614
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,280

00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: than ninety percent, which said the Mahomes. Remember I was

618
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 3: eighth on the top o. Yes, did better numbers on

619
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 3: social the nine of the clips we do, and I

620
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 3: was like, why it wasn't even that interesting of a clip.

621
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 3: But you know why because I said fucking in the

622
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 3: caption and people like cursing. That's what I've determined. People

623
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 3: were like, oh, this really is a non TV nick.

624
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,479
Speaker 3: He's dropping f bombs like they were thrown off by it.

625
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 3: And Laurie because she's a social media maybe I'm gonna

626
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 3: include the F bomb in the caption. People are gonna

627
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 3: see it. And it did numbers. So not gonna today

628
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 3: because we've already you know, I think now we've dropped

629
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 3: four f bombs in about ninety seconds. But moving forward

630
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: each show, there's gonna be one one clip that I

631
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 3: think if I think something's gonna do particularly well on social,

632
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna drop a bomb in there. But I

633
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 3: like Carolina. I like Carolina to be Cleveland. I like

634
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 3: Baker to play well, and as long as McCaffrey's healthy,

635
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 3: which we don't know how long that'll be, I think

636
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 3: Caroline is a frisky team, all right.

637
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 4: Next, for what it's worth, folks, I'm definitely with Carolina

638
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 4: as well, thank you.

639
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 5: But before a Slovenian basketball game, Luca donci is reportedly

640
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 5: drinking soda and smoking a cigarette. Good pregame routine or

641
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 5: the best pregame routine?

642
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 3: Oh god, I'm gonna call it a good pregame routine.

643
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 3: Holy crap, I'll tell you why. Okay, Luca's got to

644
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 3: know better than to drink soda. Listen, I'm not gonna

645
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 3: knock him for a delicious cigarette every once in a while.

646
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 3: You just need a delicious cigarette, you just do.

647
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 4: I gotta know not to drink soda.

648
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 3: SODA's toxic. Soda is no good for you. Like like Luca,

649
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 3: I can look the other way on the cigarette. Let

650
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 3: let's put healthier things into our body than cola. Though

651
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 3: that I'm gonna turn the other way.

652
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 4: Are we being serious right now?

653
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,399
Speaker 3: Yeah? Of course I'm being serious. Of course. I listen

654
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 3: to guy, the guy's clearly addicted to smoking. Like, I'm

655
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 3: not gonna knock him for it. I I've been with

656
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 3: your mother for fifteen years. On our first trip together,

657
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 3: I put on nicotine patches because we were traveling. I

658
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 3: was like, she hates smoking, I'm gonna wear nicotine patches. Wrong, arm,

659
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 3: I'm still wearing them. It's been fifteen years of nicotine patches.

660
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 3: Cigarettes are a hard habit to kick. And the fact

661
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 3: that Luca is out here kicking ass and taking names

662
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 3: while dragging a few heaters, it just adds to his legend. Uh.

663
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 3: A great story of Lott of Devots. Lott of Devots

664
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: who now runs the Kings. He was a great center

665
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 3: for the Lakers and the Kings for a long time,

666
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 3: a very good center. People didn't know why he fell

667
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 3: in the draft, and it was because when teams went

668
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 3: to go scout him in Serbia.

669
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 4: Uh.

670
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 3: I think it was Serbia. I apologize if I have

671
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 3: his native land wrong. Uh. When they went to go

672
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 3: scout him during timeouts, he was smoking cigarettes and they're like, oh,

673
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 3: that ain't gonna work. The guy was just just killing eaters,

674
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: and Luke is just keeping the legend going. I love

675
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 3: him so much, guy, I love him all right.

676
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 4: Next rookie receivers. Sky Moore was pranked by the Chiefs

677
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 4: receiving corpse. Uh core.

678
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 3: That's a weird word. The P and the S are

679
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 3: silent core. Wait, but when you say marine corps, he

680
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 3: spelled like that. It's not never corpse.

681
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 4: Corpse incorporated corporate.

682
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 3: Yes, but corpse with an e. It's like a dead body. Yeah,

683
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 3: but this one, it's just core. Odd word. No worries,

684
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 3: Go ahead, all right?

685
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 5: At his rig the restaurant and bottom of bill for

686
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 5: nearly twenty three thousand dollars. Turns out it was a

687
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 5: fake bill. But this is a common practice. Is rookie

688
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 5: hazing a part of the job or is it not?

689
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 3: Okay, it's part of the job as long as it's not.

690
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 4: This twenty three thousand dollars.

691
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not right to make it, to put a

692
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 3: guy in a position to spend that type of money

693
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 3: on a meal when because you got have real wealth exactly.

694
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean I was like, his family gonna

695
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 4: look at that type of situation.

696
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 3: One hundred to him and it's gonna be like, oh,

697
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 3: you can spend that money on this? Why can't you

698
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 3: buy me a car my house payment. So the fact

699
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 3: that this was a joke, I'm fine with it. I'm

700
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 3: fine with the prank of making him think he has

701
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 3: to pay, right. But the days of twenty thousand dollars dinners,

702
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 3: because guys are ordering bottles of Louis the fourteenth, which

703
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 3: are like four grand at the you know, at Capitol Grill.

704
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 3: Those gotta go. It's it's one of the particularly in

705
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 3: the NFL, when guys have short care and non guaranteed contracts. Right, So,

706
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 3: I'm good at the ricky hazing. I'm good to a

707
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 3: lot of things guys do. The shaved heads, the fashion shows,

708
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 3: all that stuff. The talent shows. Don't make these guys

709
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,439
Speaker 3: spend five figures on some nonsense for a laugh when

710
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 3: that you know, you don't know how long their career

711
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 3: is going to go. Making them think though they spend

712
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 3: five figures and then being like Noah, no, that ain't it,

713
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: or the veterans are paying for it. That I'm all

714
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 3: good with. We'll be right back, all right, Final Block,

715
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 3: Episode sixty four, What's right with Nick? Great? By the way,

716
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 3: the next time folks see me on this pod and

717
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 3: on television, not only are we going to be in

718
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 3: a new studio on TV and we have the new

719
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 3: studio here, but uh, I'm doing a very bold haircut.

720
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Deanna is gonna have like a major Like,

721
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be a thing.

722
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 4: What do you mean, like, I don't know. I just

723
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 4: feel like.

724
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 3: You're worried about how Deanna is going to react to

725
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 3: the haircut.

726
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mom, it's probably not gonna be great with Mom either.

727
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm worried about how America is going to react

728
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 3: to it. But I'm trying it. I'm I'm going for it.

729
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 3: I showed the haircut. I'm getting to Wild's. Wild's so funny.

730
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: He's so funny. Wild said you didn't score enough goals

731
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 3: last year, just saying I'm getting the haircut of a

732
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 3: European soccer player. But we'll see, we'll see how it

733
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 3: works out. The worst case scenario, just shave the head. Okay,

734
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:25,919
Speaker 3: what are we doing for the final block?

735
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 4: All right? Man?

736
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 5: Last episode, you had to take about Mahomes being ranked

737
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 5: number eight in the NFL Top one hundred. Yep even

738
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 5: said the ranking the ranking invalidated the whole list. Uh huh,

739
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 5: I know you don't re replies, but I've got a

740
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 5: few for you.

741
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 3: Oh so you're gonna show him to me? Yeah, we're

742
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 3: gonna apply y to the mahomes thing. I agree. Just

743
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 3: like ranking Luca in your fifty invalidated your list. See

744
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 3: how it works, all right, macnzials will do with you

745
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 3: in a moment. What's the next one? Let me then

746
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 3: that's Matt Goun with a bunch of numbers, Just like

747
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 3: putting MJ. Thurd on your top fifty list in validated

748
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 3: that list. A little shrugging guy emoji Damien.

749
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 4: I's got android, all right, what's next? Love you?

750
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 3: Nick? But Alyssa as MJ at three and lebron at

751
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 3: one also cannot be taken seriously, and then another laughing

752
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 3: emoji from hey Tao, are there any more? Are we

753
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 3: done here? Okay, so here's the thing. First guy, it

754
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 3: was first name, last name, bunch of numbers. Those replies

755
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 3: are meaningless. Anyone who's handle is first name, last name,

756
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 3: bunch of numbers is a bot or is acting like

757
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 3: a bot, not interested in what they have to say.

758
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 3: And I explained the precedent for the Luca ranking. How

759
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 3: many times do I have to tell people this? Now?

760
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 3: The other two people, I will take them. I will

761
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 3: at least respond to them in kind. I don't know

762
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 3: how many times I have to explain to you that

763
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 3: a arguing that Michael Jordan cannot ever be third is

764
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 3: not about Michael Jordan, and it's not about Lebron James.

765
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 3: It is directly about Kareem. And I will not stand

766
00:40:56,680 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 3: for the constant disrespect for the captain. I won't do it.

767
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 3: How many MVPs does Michael Jordan have the answers? Five?

768
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 3: I get choked up to talking about it. How many

769
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 3: does Cream have they answer six? Is Michael Jordan even

770
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 3: one of the four all time leading scorers in the NBA?

771
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 3: He is not. He's barely had a Dirk Novitzky. Kareem's

772
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 3: the all time leader. Yep, Kareem play again. I'm not

773
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 3: doing the Jordan Kareem thing once again. However, these folks

774
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 3: that are always insistent that Jordan can't be ranked third, they,

775
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 3: whether they understand it or not, they're really arguing. What

776
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 3: they are arguing is that Kareem doesn't have a case

777
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 3: to be the goat. He does. Three guys do, so

778
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 3: a guy who might be the goat is third. That's

779
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 3: how this works.

780
00:41:58,440 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 4: Right, everybody can't be number one.

781
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 3: No, And if let me trying to find another great example. Okay,

782
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 3: you know what, We'll wrap the show with a little

783
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 3: miniature Nick's tennis corner. Most people would agree the three

784
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 3: greatest tennis players ever are the three guys crushing it

785
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 3: right now. Feers obviously not playing much anymore. But Federer, Nadal, Djokovic.

786
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 3: If you asked one hundred dieard tennis fans who the

787
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 3: greatest tennis player of all time are, you're probably gonna

788
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 3: get at least twenty five that say Federer, twenty five

789
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 3: that's saying it all, twenty five that say Djokovic. What

790
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 3: that means is, if there were ever a perfect unimpeachable list,

791
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 3: someone that a lot of people, a big percentage of

792
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 3: people think is the greatest ever would come in third.

793
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 3: You now, when it comes to basketball, happen to be

794
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 3: lucky enough to live in a world where you do

795
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 3: have a perfect, unimpeachable list. It's my fifty greatest players

796
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: last fifty years, And after crunching all the numbers and

797
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 3: doing all the analogy, we have Michael Jordan and third,

798
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 3: I'm not taking any more questions on this I will

799
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,800

00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 5: Byron Scott thing. Nothing's coming of it. I didn't get

Speaker 5: the job. You guys didn't do enough.

815
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 3: Okay, that was a sad way to end the show.

816
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 4: But I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

817
