  Speaker 1: Buying show. It would be so our lead this hour,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and we'll start out with a game that ended not
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that long before we cracked the microphones here within the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: last couple hours in downtown Minneapolis, right next to the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Sid Hartman statue in the Twin Cities there close out
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: game and Edwards and the Timwolves game five there against
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler and the Warriors Minnesota.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: The set up up three to one.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: They rolled into the target center and Steph Curry did
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: not roll out on the court. He couldn't play, too
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: fragile to play, and he was on the sidelines again
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and Boston earlier on the NBA.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Card they won. We'll talk more about that game later.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: So they stayed alive, they'll beige stand alive, and so
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Golden State had their chance to stay alive. And you're
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: watching the game, you know what happened, but perhaps you
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: did not watch the game. Julius Randall for years of
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: playoff third, but not on this night. Julius ran on
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: twenty nine points. He took eighteen shots, he made thirteen
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of the eighteen. That seems pretty good. I didn't play
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in the NBA, but I think that's pretty good. So
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Randall had twenty nine points on thirteen of eighteen shooting.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards added twenty two points in twelve assists, and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the Timberwolves led by as many as twenty five points,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and they found their way into the next level of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the NBA postseason. Won twenty one to one ten the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: final as they get to win over the Warriors, so
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Minnesota wins the series four games to won. The Wolves
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: have now advanced the Western Conference Finals again, where they
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: will play either the Thunder or the Nuggets, and the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: winner of that will go on to the NBA Finals.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Minnesota could have as many as five days off. O MG,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: they'll be so rusty. Five days off. That's if the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Nuggets beat the Thunder in the Mile High City coming
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: up on Thursday night, and that would force a game seven.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: And that's sorry.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Some more on all that We have plenty of time
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to talk about all that later on. The better story, though,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: is in the eliminated locker room, not the loser's locker room,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the eliminated elimination.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: That's what happened to the team from Northern California.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question did the Warriors ever
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: have a real shot without Steph Curry or was this
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: series over before it started once Curry his hammy went whammy.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So I've got Looney Tunes, Jacuzzi, and biblical and we
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together, and we are
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: going to make the Baba Ganoche is what We're gonna make,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the Baba Ganosh, all right. So my first thought on this,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the Warriors were clearly on life support. They had aspirations
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: of championships and all these wonderful things. But the moment
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Curry went down and they won that game, Buddy, heal
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: game won, Buddy, He'll play well. Golden State wins with
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Steph Curry playing limited time because he got hurt.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I think he played thirteen minutes in that game, and
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: that was it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And as Steph Curry goes, it turns out, so go
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: the Warriors. The Djenga Tower when you take Curry out
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of the wobbly Jenga tower, it comes tumbling down, down, down,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: And so as was the case here, Golden State ends
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: up their playoff run booby trapped or in this case,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Hammi trapped by Steph Curry who was sitting on the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: bench getting hemorrhoids. As Golden State floundered. There was a
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: comical report we'll get to later which I just have
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to bring this up at some point during the show
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: about Curry and how he was trying to come back.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Well, explain more on that later in the show.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: But the Warriors were a beautiful sand castle when they
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: got Jemmy Butler on a sunshiny day. This weather's nice,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: getting better summertimes around the corner and they just beautiful
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: sand castle. And then Steph Curry when he went rice
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Krispy snapcrackle pop goes to Hammy. They were the sand
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: castle at high tide. They were the sand castle at
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: high Tide. And was Steve Kerr out coached in this
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: particular series. Was he out coaching well, Chris Finch, the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: other coach for the Worries.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: We're not sure.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: If out coached is the right word to describe Steve Kerr.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know that he did anything. I don't know
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: that you can be out coach if you don't do anything.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: When Steph Curry left because of injury, Steve Kerr and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Golden State had a chance.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: They were suddenly dead and buried.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: They were a cow stuck in a hole on the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: side of the road, and this was an opportunity for
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: them to overachieve. And for all the criticism, money, but
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: he could have coached the Golden State Warriors back when
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they had the Splash Brothers and.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: They had Durant, they were winning championships.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Well, here's an opportunity for Steve Kerr and a team
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: to overachieve. All right, Kirk could go out there, coach
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: him up, scheme them up, outperform. You're suddenly very low expectations.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Did any of that happen? Did any of that happen? Uh?
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: I think?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Well, anyway, here is Steve Kerr commenting on the big
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: story of Golden State season where they were not playing
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that great and then they made the trade. They got
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler who did not want to go to the Warriors.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: He initially he did not want to play for the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Warriors and then they paid him some more money, so
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: he said, okay, you should you paid me.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: I'll go.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Here's Steve Kerr waxing loquacious about Jimmy Butler.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Take a listen. I love our guys.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Like I said, this was a hell of a run
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: for us, considering where we were at the trade deadline.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: You know, Jimmy changed our season, flipped everything for us,
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: gave us a chance. We became one of the best
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: teams in the league. And obviously, you know, you get
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: to the Final eight in the NBA, you're one of
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: the best teams, and we had had a shot. But
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: you know, things didn't go our way. But like I said,
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Minnesota deserves the credit. They were the better team.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah wait a minute, because I was told when I mentioned,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: like in years past, when the Clippers have gotten to
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the Elite eight or the Final.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Four, nobody says that. Nobody says that's impressive. Well here's
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Steve Kerr saying that's impressive. So all you haters, no,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: what's happy about making you? Lady? Steve Kerr just said,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: and you're one of the better teams in the NBA
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: when you get to the Elite eight. He just said it.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: But as far as Jimmy Butler's concerned. To me, that's
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: more disappointing than Steve Kerr, Like, that's that's a guy
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: we support. We don't like many people on this show.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: There's many many people that we take shots at on
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a regular basis. But one of the players we like
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: watching is Jimmy Butler, and he went looney Tunes right
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: from play Playoff Jimmy, here's another guy. Opportunity, knock, knock
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: at the front door, opportunity. Steph Curry's out. You figure
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: at some point he's gonna come back. He just got
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: to carry the load for three, you know, three or
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: four games without Curry, and that's Jimmy Butler, who's done
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: it with other teams. Playoff Jimmy went to He had
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a metamorphosis. He went from playoff Jimmy to pependit pew
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: p u, what stinks. The baton was passed from Curry
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: to Butler said hey, I need to pick me up here,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: and Jimmy Butler took the baton and he fumbled it
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: right into the sewer.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: He was sleepwalking.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: There were points in these last couple of games. I
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: think he was playing in a medically induced coma. I'm
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: waiting for the almost guaranteed report this happens only well,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: he was playing with some kind of injury and he
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: didn't disclose it. You know that that story always comes
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: out after the fact. But as a result, the Warriors
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: did something they have never done in the postseason going
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: back over fifty years. The Warriors had not lost four
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: straight playoff games in a single postseason since nineteen seventy two.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Holy crap, all right now, page two?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Is this the official end game for Golden State as
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: a contender? A feeble exit from the postseason against the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Minnesota basketball team? Is this the official end for Golden
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: State there? Or do they have one last run, one
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: last dance left in them. So, as you know, not
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: only do I moonlight as a gas bag, blow hard
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and know it all here at Fox Sports Radio, I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: am also a mal meteorologist. I can forecast what's ahead
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: for all of these teams. I know you're waiting with
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: bated breath. So the malar meteorologists forecast for the next
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: year or two for the Warriors. Golden State is now
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: entering the twilight zone. Fasten your seatbelt, It's going to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: be a bumpy ride. It's going to be a bumpy ride.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: You got Steph Curry, who's what he thirty seven, Draymond
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Green thirty five in the twilight zone of their careers.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Curries Hammy is already Whammy.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: So he's got the older you get, he's got the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the issues, the cloud hanging over him. Jimmy Butler thirty five,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: also has dealt with various injuries and he missed about
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the games during his time with
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the Miami Heat. Some of that because he was at
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: loggerheads with pat Riley, but that's that's an issue.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: So you've got major durability concerns.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Golden State, what they need to do is swing another
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: trade with the Sunshine State, and they need to pick
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: up a jacuzzi, but a Punce Devione jacuzzie. That's what
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: they need to get, a Punce Deli oone jacuzzie because Pastelione,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: he has that mythical spring. I think it's in San Augustine, Florida,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and it will restore youth to anyone who drinks or
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: bays in the water there. So that's what they have
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to get. So as long as they have that, they're fine.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: How many young players have passed through Golden State that
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: were supposed to be that next wave that turned out
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to be turns one after another, whether the team didn't
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: trust them or they just didn't live up to the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: lofty expectations, but it's been a constant stream for that
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: particular team. Now, last word, we go to the winning
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: locker room, the winners. So back to the Final four,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the swing in effect for the Minnesota basketball team as
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: they are just four wins away from getting the finals.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: So the question on this is Anthony Edwards' playoff run
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: with the Timberwolves. Is his playoff run shutting up the doubters?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: A classic sports debate, Who's nothing? The daughters could say,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: they'll be come on?
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Okay, So the.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Resume is looking good, depending on whether or not you
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: put it under the microscope. Because Anthony Edwards now has
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: playoff series wins against Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Steph Curry,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and Nicola Jokic, all of that, all of that before
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: he even turns twenty four.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: So that's pretty good. Lebron washed up an old.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: We can all agree on that ran out of gas
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and the playoff Steph Curry got hurt.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Does that really count who knows?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: And the jokicic one, sure, Durant, Okay, if you want
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: to give up credit for that, that's fine. So in
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: terms of the question, is Anthony Awres' playoff run you
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: know shutting up to I'm gonna shake my head. No,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I'm shaking my head. No you can't see me. You
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: don't look at me. I'm shaking my head. On this
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: has been a roller coaster up and down, and the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Timberwolves have been the beneficiaries of what we would call
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: biblical kindness in this playoff run. It's the classic biblical
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: story Moses parting the red sea. Minnesota has beaten the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: forty year old Lebron who ran out of gas. If
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you don't believe me, look at his fourth quarter numbers,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the out of shape Hookah Luca and slaying the always
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: overrated Lakers who hired a podcaster as their coach, and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: he coached like a podcaster.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: It was so good to see love what a hot
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: take is validated.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I love a good hot take validation, and podcaster JJ
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Reddick validated the hot take.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Thank you for that, JJ.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: All right, So that when okay, you beat old Lebron
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and out of shape.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Luca Lakers aren't very good. We all know that.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: And now you put under the Mallard microscope, you take
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: out the Warriors, a team that was neutered. They had
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: their balls chopped off when Steph Curry left with a
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: hammy injury. So you're not getting a lot of style
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: points under the microscope. Now wide angle lens, it looks
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: pretty good for the low information fan. The casual fan
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: will say that's very impressive, but under the microscope again,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: not that much.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: And so there you go.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: In that being said, in the modern NBA, we've seen
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: this a lot with like Indiana has made back to
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: back conference finals and they have been.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: The beneficiary as well of pop goes.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: To the Achilles over there for Dame Lizard for example,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: or some of the injuries that have taken place with
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Cleveland had a bunch of guys out, although I don't
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: think they would have won anyway, but that's fine. So
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: in the modern NBA, this is how you get it done.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: You can talk about getting all these.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Great players and having amazing talent, but really what you
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: need is a good voodoo doll.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: That's the secret. If you have a good voodoo doll,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that is the great equalizer. Every NBA postseason is a
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: war of attrition. It's always been, but the players are
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: softer now than they've ever been. They have the greatest
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: medical they have all the top minds in sports medicine,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: all the IVY League geniuses that are babying and coddling
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the players, and it doesn't matter, right, they have it
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: all figured out, right, They've all the medical figured out.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: When you're gonna get hurt, you have to rest this
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: amount of time to avoid getting hurt.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: And they still go out and get hurt all the time.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Right, So whatever team gets injured the least will go
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the furthest in the postseason. Now, in terms of what
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: this all means, it's a mixed bag for the Wolves
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: because they are very reliant on Anthony Edwards and Julius Randall,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: and they have to score score score score score score
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: score score score. And it's obviously a soft underbelly for
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Minnesota because if either one has an off performance, if
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: they underperform, then that's an issue. The three point shooting
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: is not good. The fence appears to be the meat
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and potatoes for the Timberwolves, and they make a lot
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: of unforced errors as they say in tennis, which becomes
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: problematic if you play a team that can take advantage
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: of that, which would be more Oklahoma say, if you
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: play Denver, that's a much better opportunity for Minnesota than OKC.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: But we shall see.

• 19:01
  Speaker 1: We'll go to Boston a closeout game for the Celtics
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: opponent at the Knicks, to advance Jalen Brunson and the
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Knickerbocker traveling party going up I ninety five.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Of course they.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Flew work assignment, work assignment versus Jalen Brown and the
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Celtics who are weather beaten without Jason Tatum.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: It was game.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Number five, Game five, New York for a chance to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: level up and play Tyres Hallip Burton and the Indiana
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: basketball team in the Eastern Conference Finals and wake up
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the old clips of Reggie Miller from back in the day.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: But I'm not sure whether you were watching this or not.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: It was the early game on the basketball card, maybe not.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: The story here was Derek White, who had thirty four points,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: seven seven three point shots through the basket there to
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: lead the Celtics to a laffer They win one twenty
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: seven to one oh two ha ha In Game five
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: against the Knicks on Wednesday night there at the TD
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Garden Eastern Conference semi Finals, the Celtics, who could not
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: make a three point shot in multiple games in this
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: series to save their life, connected on twenty two twenty
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: two to three pointers to post their first home victory
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: of the series and the first without Jason Tatum. Following
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: the snap crackle pop goes the Achilles the ten in
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: injury there. Now, the better story is in the losing
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: locker room where Josh Hart was bloody early in the game.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: He led the Knicks with twenty four points. He did
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: leave briefly and that was in the first quarter. There
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: a bloody gash with blood all over his face and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: that was an omen of things to come for the Knicks.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: There an inadvertent elbow, oh and he bled like a tomato.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: So that was part of the story there. The photos
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: win viral.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson had twenty two, but a very mellow kind
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: of performance by Brunson there. He fouled out was seven
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: nineteen to go in the game, he was out. So
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: the Knicks do not do the thing they were supposed
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: to do at the time they were supposed to do it,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and so they will now have another opportunity. They've got
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: three chances to win one game. Now they have two
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: chances to win one game. The Knicks will try to
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: win the series. Back in Midtown Manhattan, right over Penn
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Station there on Friday night, if the Celtics win Game seven.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: We love Game seven. I want a Game seven, I
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: would link. Can we make that happen? We all think
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: positive vibrations. Let's get a Game seven that would be
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: in Boston on Monday, in Boston on Monday.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: So let us discuss the question.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Why couldn't Jalen Brunson's Knicks close out this series? Why
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: could they not get this done. I've got my observation
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: of this. I've got cocktail, scrub, a dub dub and PSA,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together, and
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: we are gonna make a dirty water dog, is what
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: We're gonna make, a street dirty water dog.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: And that's what we're gonna do, all.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Right, So Number I said, Number Yeah, let's start with
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the obvious that New York did not play with the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: same mojo that they had been playing with there. They
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: looked I don't know that I would use the word disheveled,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: but they were just a little off. I'm not sure
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: why that was some Knickerbocker apologists.
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: Or saying, well, it was the officials.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: The NBA wants us to go to six, I should
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: want to go to seven. They need a game seven.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Blah blah blah blah blah.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson sounded like the uber driver call we took
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: last hour.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: He was very subdued, very subdued.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: He was restrained, and several of the Knicks players were
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: completely frazzled, completely frazzled in this game. We'll get to
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: them in a minute. But here's Tom Thibodeau. You'll hear
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the question and the answer. He's the coach of the next.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Tom Thibodeau on how upsetting this was.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: Take a listen, Tom, just off the bat, what most
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: disappointed you tonight.
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: That we didn't play for forty eight minutes and you know,
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: the start of the second quarter, we didn't play well.
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: We had a league, didn't play tough with the lead,
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: came out to start the third. Didn't play well there.
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: I can't afford to do that.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, so individually mentioned Brunson.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Who was fine but needed to be better than that.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: But the real villain.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: There was literally nothing redeeming about Og and Annobi's performance.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: There was nothing redeeming.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Og played like he was Doa, not the old gangster
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: he was Doa. Played like someone spiked his cocktail with
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: elephant tranquilizers. He took twelve shots, he missed eleven of them,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: shot less than ten percent eight point three percent in
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: a closeout game, had two assists, two turnovers, and three fouls.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: How about Mikal Bridges, He's had some bad games. He
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: saved them with key defensive plays late in games, and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: no chance to do that here.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Took fourteen shots, missed ten of them. Missed ten of the.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Fourteen shots he took. That was a pratt fall performance
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: by Mkal Bridges. So New York led by nine in
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the second quarter, Tom Thibodeau referenced that they stopped playing
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: from that point they were up by nine to the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: close of the game, they were outscored by what thirty
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: five points? I believe it was from that point to
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the end of the game.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Which I don't think is good. What do I know?
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I just to the Overnight show. I don't think that's good.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe it is, Maybe there's some kind of positivity. I
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: don't know what it would be, but who knows? All
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: right now, paytrio. So who was the biggest X factor
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: for Boston without Jason Tatum? Other people had to step up?
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: As the line goes, and Jalen Brown was fine or
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Devin Derek White. Derek White went bonkers. Derek White was trending.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: He was silky smooth. He was the smooth operator with
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: all the three point shots. He put on a shooting
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: clinic there from behind the arc. Those moneyballs. Now that
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: said for me, it's scrub, a dub dub. Luke Cornett,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the scrub. I had to look this guy up. Who
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the f is Luke Cornett?
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Who is this guy?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: And he went out had ten points, nine rebounds, seven
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: block shots.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: He went mutumbo, if you're old, you know who that is?
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Twenty five minutes and as Shaq would say, I owe
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: you an apology.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: I was I wasn't really familiar with your game.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: May the force be with you, Luke Force Multiplier, the Butcher,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the Baker, the candlestick maker, and that candlestick keeping hope alive,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: the flame of hope is alive, keeping hope alive. And
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: now Joe Mizzoula gave a bunch of wild soundbites. This
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: guy is total whack a doodle, Joe Mosula. So, Joe
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Mizoula was asked about the mentality for the rest.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Of the series.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: He said, four hours ago, he said, we we had.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: Just one win and we had to win one game,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: rather win one.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Game, and now we just have to win one game.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: That is known as the old Wine in New Bottle.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Old Wine in New Bottle, a fancy way to say,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: take it one day at a time.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Live in the moment. You must live in the moment now.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: The other quote, which was hilarious from Joe Mizoula, and
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: it reminded me of a random.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: NFL coach from years ago. Joe Mizzoula was asked about
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the situation involving Chris stops Porzingis. Now Porzingis has been there,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: but hasn't really been there because he's got the gobbledee
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: gook and we're not sure what he has. But it
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: can't be that hard. It can't be that difficult because
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: he's playing right. I mean, it's not going to kill you.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Whatever it is, we don't know what it is. It's
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: not contagious or else he wouldn't be with the team,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: So we're not sure about that. But Joe Mizzoula, well,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I think we have the audience. So listen is Joel Mozula.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Listen to him talk about Chris stops Porzingis and like
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: why he wasn't out there, and take a listen.
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: Joe, You've always trusted your core lineup. You don't change
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: like the main line up a tiny trust your top players.
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: So making the switch going away from KP for the
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: second half, just how difficult of a decision has it been,
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: kind of maybe evaluating that throughout the series and then
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: making that call tonight.
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: I mean, he did, I mean, he couldn't breathe, and
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: you know, so he was available absolutely necessary, and so
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: that was just a decision between me and him. He
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: was having just difficulties breathing, but he wanted to be
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: out there, and you know, if we absolutely needed him,
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: we would have been able to go to him.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: And rely on him.
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: But you've seen a lot of that this year is
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: changing the lineup at halftime is something that we've done
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: a lot, you know, this year, because it just adds
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: a different dimension and can change some sub patterns throughout
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: the game. So it took credit to the guys just
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: buying into what gives us the best chance to win.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: We don't need all that.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: The money part of it was he couldn't breathe like
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: they I don't know who edited that, but that's the
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: key part.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: That he couldn't breathe, which reminded me.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: If you've been with the show a long time, you
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: might remember years ago, the Indianapolis Colts had a coach
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: named Chuck Pegana and it was a primetime game. Chuck
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Pegana was coaching the Colts. I forget the name of
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: the quarterback. The quarterback played but wasn't supposed to play,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: and so after the game Pegano said he was literally
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: on his deathbed, is what.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: The coach said. I'll never forget that. It was literally
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: under stuff.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Now you have Joe Mozula saying Porzingis couldn't breathe. So
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I went back and I looked at the clip. I
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: did not see any oxygen. I did not see any
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: oxygen for for zingis. So if a man can't breathe,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: you need oxygen. Fortunately, we can't report he has not
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: died despite not being able to breathe.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, final point is literally, Oh, there it is.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: That's it. That's Chuck Pegano. That's what.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: What do we know?
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: What year that was? That's got to be old. Now,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: that's a long time two tho fourteen.
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: Wow?
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: Man, uh, that's that Carson Wentz was it?
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: No?
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I think it was a hassleback or something, one of
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the hassleback guys. I don't, I guess look up quarterbacks
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: for the Colson in twenty fourteen. Oh it's been eleven
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: years since that sound bite.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: I still remember it. Wow. All right. Final point, So.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the New York side of things. Is
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: this loss by the Knickerbockers. Is this loss an anomaly
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: for Tom Thibodeau's Tom Thibodeau, Tom Thibodeau, his New York
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: squad or a sign of penning doom? So is this
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: loss an anomaly for New York or is this.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: A sign of pending doom? Now? I love, absolutely love
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Sky is falling Talk Radio. I love it to me.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: This is a public service announcement. It's a PSA.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: It's an old school public service announcement from the International
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Association of Fire Chiefs. Don't play with matches. You're playing
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: with matches. The Knicks are futzing around with matches, and
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: in this case, they're playing with their food.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: You keep hope alive.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: For the Celtics, you're keeping hope alive. The series has
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: already been handed to New York. You're up three to one.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Tatum goes down, you're up three to one. So if
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: you look at our audio, we don't have a telestrator because.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: We're on radio, even though there's a camera in here.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: But if you look at the audio straighter, game six
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: becomes do or die. Game six becomes don't poop your pants.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Game six becomes a diaper game. You mess that up,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: and I would refer you to the chart. F around
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: and find out chart. I've got it right up here.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: F around and find out for now things are okay.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: That's one game. It doesn't matter, but it sets the foundation.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: It sets the foundation. That game, okay, And even in
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: defeat like the next, they seem to be in fine
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: spirits and all that. It didn't seem to have worked off.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: There was one moment I saw this clip making the
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: rounds on the socials at the Garden there in Boston,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: after Jalen Brunson had fouled out. They put him on
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the jumbo tron and he he waved to the crowd
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: and it was hilarious because he's on the scoreboard and
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: somebody took this video from the upper deck and so
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: you see Brunson sitting on the Knicks bench, but you
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: can see it through the scoreboard and he's waving.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: At the crowd. It was pretty funny. And they had.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: A watch party in Manhattan. A bunch of Nick lap
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: dogs were out there and they were chanting, well they
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: originally channing or they're gonna win.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: And then they moved to Nixon six.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: With the series now headed back to Madison Square Garden
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: on Friday night, you blow that and then it's a
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: do or die Game seven in Boston, and that puts
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: the Knicks on notice. Choking dog notice, choking dog notice.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: And despite having some family that liked the Knicks, I
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: look at this as an opportunity. If the Knicks can
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: blow this on Friday, how awesome it would be to
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: see Tracy Morgan go out there and give a pep
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: talk to the Knicks before Game seven and then watch
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: them go out and projectile vomit like Tracy Morgan does
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: at Knicks games, all over the court in a Game seven.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: So I and there's other celebrities on Celebrity Row and
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: all that.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: Man, that would be fun to watch all them cry?
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Oh God, that would be cool?
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: Man?
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: Would I love that?
• 33:24

  Speaker 6: Steelers defensive end Cam Hayward recently said on his podcast
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: that the Steelers could be a better team because of
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: the George Pickens trade. He pointed to Mike Tomlin's track
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: record of trading receivers and it working out better for
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: the Steelers. Ben, do you think he's right with this one?
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: Well, here's the way I'll say.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: The argument is additioned by subscribe by substraction. Right, you're
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: upside down. It shouldn't work that way. That George Pickens
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: is a talented player, and that if you just look
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: at the trade. It's it's lopsided for Dallas. But this
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: is an erratic person. This is somebody who does not
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: show up every game and he's got a lot of
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: blotches on his resume. The way I look at it,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: the Steelers are gonna be fine. Aaron Rodgers will be there.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: They'll be about where they were they always are in Pittsburgh.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think they'll be better, They'll be about where
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: they have been. Next where they'll be gonna win nine
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: ten games and that's that next.
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: Bruce Arians made a radio appearance this week where he
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: said that if the Bucks stay healthy, that reaching the
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: Super Bowl is definitely obtainable. Ben, do you think Tampa
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: Bay has improved enough to take the next step this season?
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Bruce Arians is full of crap, because no one stays healthy.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: The injury rate in the NFL as a hundred percent.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: So if the Buccaneers path to getting to the super
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Bowl is one hundred percent health, they're not going to
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl. Everyone has injuries. You've got to have depth,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: you've got to overcome the injuries. So anytime I hear
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: someone say, well, if they stay healthy, of course that's
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: not the contest.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: Next Shaq said in a recent interview that he thinks
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: he may have won more titles with Penny Hardaway than
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: he did with Kobe had Penny not gotten injured. Ben,
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: do you agree with that?
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: Well, again, we go back to, you know, the multiverse.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a dimension in the multiverse where Penny Hardaway
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: is amazing and if people thought he was going to
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: be some better at the time, and then Kobe ever
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: would turn out to be.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: But I think Shaq is blowing smoke on a podcast.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: How'd we do?
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: You passed? This edition?
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: That is a way button on the cart.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I got the game the right up, I won the
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: game stream New Balls.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: Out a winner.

  Speaker 1: As far as we know, real human beings and to
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the reading of the questions over to the coop a loop.
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: All right, Ben, We're gonna start off with a question
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: from digital space Monkey.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: Hi digital space Monkey.
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: He says, I was recently paid off with a gift
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: card to raising Canes for one hundred dollars. What is
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: the better bang for the buck, the three finger meal
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: or the Caniac combo I subbslaw for more fries.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's as Yeah. Yeah, so I'm a Candiact combo guy.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: When I go to Canes. It's a little pricey. Now,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: certainly California's very I don't know how much is where
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: you are, but very expensive about here. But yeah, that's
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: the way to go. You don't do the Coleslaw. You're
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: eating fried chicken. You don't want damn vegetables. Get those
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: out of there, and then you get the Texas toast
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: on both sides. You can get a toasted on both sides. Yeah,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: you get rid of the Coleslaw extra fiz. That's the
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: way to go, and just go cany at Combo.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: That's it. They sell more of those three piece things,
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: but it's better off Canny at Combo. Now, Loraina gets
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: the kids meal, right, Loraina when you go.
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: To Cansa you already know Ben, Yes, I get the kids.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: I've seen you. I'm like, what are you doing?
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: And then I just that is such a that is
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: such a like a chick move, right, Isn't it?
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: Like I'm just gonna get the kids meal.
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: I split the caney at combo with my wife. Okay,
• 37:34
  Speaker 6: I eat the whole thing because that's the that's the
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: sixth tender ones, right.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a hawser right, the whole thing.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: All right, what's next? What are we at?
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: All right? Uh, let's go with.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: To ashp in your questions are answers for the rest
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: of the hour.
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: That was a good one that I saw, and I
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: wanted to get back to. Let's do this one. Okay,
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: the King Rory wants to know what do you think
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: is more difficult to learn at an older age. That's
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: gotta be ice skating or swimming.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ice skating, right, But I mean I guess that's
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: because we all learned how to swim when we were
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: really young.
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: I would I would assume I don't know.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we get tossed, we all got I assume
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: yeah I got tossed in the water and when.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: I was well kid.
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Sam, so traumatize as well. Thanks for that.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: It is odd, though, I mean, I guess you're a
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: fair amount of people that never learned how to swim.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: It's odd to be good. In my world, that's what
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: we learned.
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: But I don't know. We have a question here from
• 38:40

• 38:51
  Speaker 4: Why the dramatic clause, Lorena, what do you.

• 38:59
  Speaker 4: When's the last time you I haven't played Monopoly in
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: probably fifteen years. I think, well, why are you judging me?
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, a little bit.
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: That's probably been that long for me as well. But
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: I but I know what piece I use?
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we I would play with the we'd
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: play with the family, and the games would.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: Take forever and all that stuff. And so I'm trying
• 39:22

• 39:25
  Speaker 4: is your Clarina?
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: What was your dog?
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: Do the dog? I would always choose either the battleship
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: or the top hat. I liked both of those. I
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: was a big fan of the boot too.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was the top Hat.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I liked the top Act because I was styling and
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: profiling back I'm sure you were back in the day.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: A lot of style to my game.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: All right, to ask men, your questions are answers for
• 39:51

• 39:57
  Speaker 6: I had on my.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: Cruise Cooper's in Alaska.
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: Yes, it wasn't the last cruise. On the cruise itself,
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: I think it was like this pork medallion dish with
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: like some raspberry chutney or something like that that was
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: really free.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: Everything was free on the boat.

  Speaker 6: It was pretty great. I was having like double dinners
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: desserts with every meal. It was so speaking of dessert.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: So much food must get wasted on those because people like, oh,
