• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you got to have a good connection wherever you are.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: I have the worst luck at home, visiting home. I
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: got to be home. I was gone last Christmas. I
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: almost always make it home for Christmas Day. I didn't
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: make it home last year. I don't even know where
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I was last year. I couldn't even tell you. It
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: might have been Vegas. I'm not even sure. I don't remember.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: It's a blur. But I made it back this year.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: But the drawback is when I'm home or like Jim Nighbors.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: You ever see Jim Nighbors sing back home again in
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Indiana during the Indy five hundred, where it's like back home,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: my God in Indiana, like that whole thing. When I'm
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: back home again in Indiana, Oh man, it is the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: worst luck with I just pencil in. You know, something's
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: wrong with your connection, man, I don't know. Can you
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: like you like reconnect? And it's just it's like, oh
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: my gosh, the nightmare man. So I apologize if it's
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: you know, I go from normal sounding to like, you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: super robotic. It sucks. I'm sorry. I don't know what
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: it is. I have no idea. But I'll tell you what.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I might be moving locations tonight, like on the fly,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I'm the high tail it over. I don't know what
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: it's like. It's a place just a few minutes away,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and for some reason the connection works. Fantastic there right here, terrible, there,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: good here, awful. I don't know, I don't know. I'm sorry,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: but I apologize speaking of awful because I'm gonna save.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I want to get to the biggest surprises this season
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: in the NFL, good or bad. We're gonna do this
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: a little bit later in the show tonight. Okay, So
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: it's putting together this list, and I think it's it's
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: interesting to put the list together this way instead of
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: doing Hey, here are my top three surprises in a
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: good way, like wow, the Bears really surprised as whoa broncos? Right?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Instead of doing that? What if you mix them together,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: good and bad, instead of separating them, mush them together. Now, me,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: when I eat, I like my food separated. I don't
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: like things mushed together. If anyone's like, oh, this is
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: a fill in the blank cast role, I'm out. I'm out.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I have no interest in any cast role. It could
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: be all things that I love, don't don't want everything
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: mush together. But in terms of a list, yeah, pull,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I'm mation a list together all day. But I was
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: thinking about this, and I know I'm gonna get some
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: tweets Big Lou out there. You know, Lou might hit
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: me up and be like, hey, Ben doesn't do list radio.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I don't care what Ben does I do. I'll do
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a list every now and now. I don't do list radio.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not giving you a list. You know, nine out
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: of ten segments here, I'll do one. I'll do one
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: that I think it's good. I will do that. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: probably sound robotic right now. I'm sorry. I'll keep my
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: voice level down. It might trigger the robotic sounds. But no,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: think about it this way. If you're putting a list
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: together of the biggest NFL surprise teams, and you've got
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: good surprises and bad surprises, Let's say, okay, this team
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: was expected to be good, they're freaking terrible. Are the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Chiefs a bigger bad surprise? Then the Bears are a
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: good surprise? Like, which is the bigger surprise? That to
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: me is interesting? How would you make your How would
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: you go about making your list right? If it's a
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: hodgepodge of good and bad surprises. So we'll do that
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: a little bit later in this hour, very much looking
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: forward to that, and my top choice. I think it
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: might surprise some people out there. I might get an
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: agreement here or there. My guess is when you hear
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: my top choice, you're gonna be like em there might
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: be a better choice than that. But I think if
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: you hear the reason, you're like, yeah, I yeah, I
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: kind of get that right, Like, So we'll do that
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: here in a little bit, looking forward to that. Speaking
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of bad, as I said just a minute ago, it's
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: not just my com Rex connection, unfortunately, it is. Uh,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it's Jared Goff. It's funny because there was a promo
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: star and Colin Cowherd and he's like waxing poetic about
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Jared Goff, and it's like, oh, man, that that that
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: promo got burned up based on Christmas Day, you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: eliminated Jared Goff with five turnovers. Five turnovers, man, it
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: was unbelievable. He threw two picks, he had three fumbles.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: They lost all the fumbles. They didn't recover any of these.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Like he crushed the Lions' chances of winning that game.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: In a game where Max Brosmer he threw for fifty
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: one yards, but the Vikings passing it hack collectively when
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you factor in sack yardage, right, those lost yards when
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Brozemer is getting sacked grand total of three passing yards
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: for the Vikings on Christmas Day, they passed for three
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: yards in an NFL game and they still won by
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: thirteen points. How did that possibly happen? Well, Jared Goff
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: was disgustingly bad. That's what happened. And listen, man. As
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I said before, Jared Goff's numbers are off the charts.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: His numbers are fantastic, but its performances like this, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: it's just facing a pass rush in general. The guy
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: cannot function when a pass rush is getting home right,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: when the pass rush is putting heat on him, when
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: they're getting close to him, when they're hitting him, when
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: they're forcing him to throw it earlier than he wants to.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: He is a fish out of water. And it's the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: craziest thing. It really is. I don't get it. I
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: really don't. I watch football. I watch every NFL game.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I watch every NFL game. There's not an NFL game
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: that I miss I do not miss NFL games. Man,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: it does not happen. So I've seen Jared Goff play
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: all season long and his numbers are off the charts,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, how can his numbers be this good?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: And your eyes are telling you consistently like he's not
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: even close to this good? How can that be? And
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Christmas Day that debacle against the Vikings was a good
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: indication of that. It's it's really it's the bad performance
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: is stick with you more so than the good does.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: And I also think how it looks matters. Listen. I
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: don't want to make this a whole big thing, but
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I think that we're more so in the uh we're
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: in like the sports center frame of mind when we
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: watch sports, we watch sports within highlights. There are a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: lot of people, I get it, you're busy. You're not
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: watching games like game in, game out, full games, especially
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: younger people. A lot of younger people are like, dude,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: give me the highlights and I got other stuff to do, right,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Like we're not just digesting full games. Like nobody has
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: time to set. You got a family, you got kids,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: you got a job, you got all these responsibilities. No
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: one but that on their plate is just watching full
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: game after full game after full game after full game.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: You're not doing it. So in this day and age,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of it is highlights. And when you see
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: that's why a lot of people think Justin Fields can
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: cut it in the NFL. Justin Fields is a bad
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: NFL quarterback like bad, not good, opposite of good, bad, inconsistent, inaccurate.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: And yet I should have grabbed the audio at the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: time when the Jets were playing the Patriots earlier this
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: year in Fox Buro Kirk Herbstreet's doing the call. Kirk
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: does a good job, made a terrible point that particular night.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: He's like, as far as all the physical tools and
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: traits and capabilities, like Justin Fields has the full package.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: That's like, Kirk, dude, stop, just stop, man, stop, how
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: many years are we gonna give this guy until we
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: finally look and to be like he's not good. He
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: produces some insane highlights from time to time. Justin Fields
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: is a very talented person and can make some crazy
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: things happen on a football field. In doses, he can't
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: do that consistently, and that's the problem. But the issue
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: is if you look at Justin Fields, who does make
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you say wow. At times, he can make a an
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: insane run, he can buy time and make an insane
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: throw and be like that was incredible. How many players
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: on the planet. How many people on the planet are
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: capable of making that same play? Not many, but yet
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the consistency just isn't there. So the point is when
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Justin Fields makes those highlights and you flip on Sports
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Center and maybe he didn't watch the whole game. Maybe
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: it didn't see him miss the wide open guy on
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: third and three and they didn't move the chains and
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: that led to them, you know, getting down by seventeen
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: points and then it just snowballed from there, right Like,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: you don't see those little plays. You just see the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: jaw dropping highlights and you're like, wow, man, this guy
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Justin Fields, like Jared Goff is like the opposite of
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Justin Fields. Jared Goff is much more consistent, but he
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: doesn't produce those wow plays. He's not this athlete that
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: has these traits and makes these plays and like shakes
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: a guy or even he's not an athlete. He's not
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: gonna outrun anybody. He could not run me, right, and
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not a gazelle. Over here and he's not gonna
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: have this just insane arm and I don't know, rip
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: off this throw that's crazy impressive, that's just not him.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: And in turn, when he doesn't produce those highlights, a
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: lot of it is that's how you're judged these days.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Like that fills in the blanks for a lot of
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: people in terms of how you're just evaluated in general.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: If he's not producing those highlights, it's like, all right,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: he's just not going to get the benefit of the
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: doubt with a lot of people. And then you have
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: a disaster like on Christmas Day against the Vikings, and
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: it's like, man, that that's the kryptonite for Jared Goff.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: When a pass rush is putting heat on him and
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: forcing his hand. Wow, Like yo, it is a disaster.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: So you know, listen, I'm not rooting against the guy,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: and I hate that that's the reality. But when you're
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: not producing these highlight reel plays and you look like
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: a fish eyt of water when a pass rush is
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: getting home or getting close to getting home and you
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: have five turnovers against the Vikings, it's like, man, it's crazy,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: how right, Like think about this, I can't believe this
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: is a reality. But when you look at Justin Field's numbers,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: let me try to get something for you real fast, Okay,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: cause I don't know how many times we've played the
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: game of hey, hey, Justin Fields. I mean maybe Justin
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Fields is not that far away from you. Okay, let's
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: can we please just stop here? Can we just stop
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: if you look at Justin Fields? All right, I'm trying
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: to get his numbers real quick from this season. So
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: all right, thumbing down, thumbing down, further further down, a
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: little more down. All right, here we go. So seven touchdowns,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: one pick, that's not bad. Passer rating is eighty five
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: eighty nine point five, by the way, almost identical with
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: bow Knicks, almost like almost on the to the decimal point.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Oh most Actually he's point five better. Can you believe this?
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Justin Field's passer rating point five better than bo Nicks
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: this season. I don't buy Bonnicks. But yeah, Justin Field's
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: a completion percentage just under sixty three. Okay, like similar things, right,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Like he can make plays, the touchdowns, the interceptions not bad,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: but he's not pushing the ball down field. And with
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the completion percentage that low, you know, the passer rating
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: is going to suffer. That's the way it goes. So
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: not putting up gaudy numbers, but more times than not
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: you'll hear, you know, justin field, like Kirk kob Street
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: on Thursday Night Football. You know he's got all the
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: physical traits. Nobody questions it. Okay, dude, give it a rest. Meanwhile,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Jared Goff over four thousand yards passing, nearly sixty nine
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: percent completion rate, thirty two touchdowns, five interceptions, one oh
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: nine point four passer rating that would be number two
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: in the NFL, Like it is insane. His numbers are insane,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: and yet most of us are like I just I
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: don't know about this golf guy man like ye sh
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: and there's no defending the guy on Christmas Day who's
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: just bad. One thing, I'm gonna be switching locations here momentarily,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Malard Militia, Like the broadcast qualities not good enough, so
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna high tail it to a better location. You
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: deserve the best here, especially you know, if this is
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: your Christmas Day night cap, you can't have faulty audio
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: and you know, scrambled signals, you can't have that. So
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I'll be high tailing it over to a more secure location.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: But my guy Milkman, Mike, he wrote, you were a
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: little off on your movie reference. It was DeNiro playing
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: al Capone in The Untouchables, So I just mentioned there's
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: a the neuro line where he's like dead dead. He
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: says that now in this uh in the Untouchables. You know,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not as familiar with that movie, so I'm not
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: gonna speak on that, and he might say something that's similar,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: might say a variation to that. But it is from
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the movie Casino. If you guys are Casino fans or
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Goodfellas fans, the neuro fans, what have you. It's a
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: scene where he's he's talking to Sharon Stone and he's
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: talking about like Sharon Stone's boyfriend, right, and he says,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: you know, dead, he would be dead, That's what he says.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I think what it was she took their daughter with
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: her former boyfriend. I believe that's the case, and they
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: they kind of skipped town, and so dear Row he
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: sent a plane for them and the whole thing, and
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: he was kind of threatening, like if you take my
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: daughter away like that again, like you're dead dead. It's
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: like basically the context. So it is from Casino. It
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: just wasn't the most flawless way. It was basically a
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Jared goffway at least on Christmas Day of explaining that scene,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: so I apologize for that. Be sure to catch live

• 17:22
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. It's funny because listen, I'm not gonna bore
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: you with technical stuff. We're probably not supposed to even
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: talk about it. You know, it's just act like it
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: never happened. But if if your connection's a little bit spotty,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: if it's bad, like it's gonna sound bad. And it
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: was funny. I was driving over here and I caught
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: some of the show and they just replayed an earlier
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: segment and for a couple of minutes, I'm like, is
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: that that bad? What? Like? What's going on with Mary
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Mack and Brianna? Like maybe they're just crazy tonight. I
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: don't know. It sounds okay to me. And then and
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: then it kicked in and I'm like, oh, oh yeah,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I get it. I I totally I totally hear what
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: they're hearing. And yeah, man, I don't know. I don't
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: know what it is like when I visit home, because
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: when I visit home, I just stay at my mom's.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: So I moved from Vegas. I'm at home for the
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: holidays and then after the new year, I'm moving wherever
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I'm moving, I don't know where I'm going. But man,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: when I don't know what it is, I love my
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: mom to death. She's the most awesome person in my life.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: And I don't know what. She has tried everything. That's
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: the sad thing. She has bent over backwards trying to
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: fix the Internet issues. If I ever come home to
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: visit and do a couple of shows, something goes freaking terrible.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: And she's done everything possible short of moving mountains, and
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: for some reason it will still be a huffle. I
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: don't know what it is, but we're good now. And
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I was just thinking, like, you've been bombarded with a
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: lot of NFL stuff and there's more to come. You're
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: not over with being bombarded, by the way, but a
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: little NBA love because there were some interesting things that
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: happened during Chris Day. I disagree with Charles Barkley, like,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: it's not the NBA's day anymore Christmas Day, it's the
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: NFL's day. The ratings would show as much. But listen,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: there weren't great NFL games. They were all sloppy, like
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: the Nightcap was sloppy with the Chiefs and the Broncos.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: The Vikings beating the Lions was sloppiness defined. So it
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: wasn't an incredibly crisp day of football and basketball wise,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: some interesting things that happened. So the nixt had a
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: seventeen point comeback win against the Calves that got everything started.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: This headline very unfortunate Anthony Davis exits with the groin injury.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: You know, does that that seem fitting? I hate that.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: By the way, I gotta put one of my buddies
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: on blast, Bruce Jacobs. I love Bruce Jacobs. He's a
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: good friend of mine. We did radio together in Albany,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: New York. That's how far back we go, Upstate New York.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Like how deep is your bond? It might not be
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: upstate New York deep. That's how deep my bond is
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: with Bruce Jacobs. And he has the worst take of
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: all takes. I don't know if he's backed off this yet,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: because it was terrible when he came up with it,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: and it's even worse if he's standing by it. I
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: swear he's the one person breathing right now who thinks
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: that Dallas won the Luca trade. I'm not even joking, man,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I'll hit him up. I need to hit him up,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: probably during the show tonight, you know what's the segment
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: is done. I'm gonna hit him up like Bruce Hey,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: ad grun injury. They still won that trade though, right Like,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I'm just waiting for him to concede the loss. Just
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: concede the loss, man. And we've all had bad takes
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: from time to time. Granted I've never had a Hey
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Dallas actually won the Luca trade. I've never had to
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: take that bad. Not that that's historically bad. But even
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: if that were my take, I would I would, I
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: would take the Yel's got to concede the loss on
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: this one, man. But I did did see the high
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: the headline that Ad unfortunately exited with the groin injury.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: MAVs lost to the Warriors. How about the Lakers? They
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: got crushed by the Rockets. I'll tell you one thing,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: and this is gonna make me sound old. I don't
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: even care Steph Curry shoe updates. I'm over it. I
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: am completely over it right like each it seems like
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: every every Warriors game. So he's a shoe free agent, right.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: You probably know that he stepped away from under armour,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: so he is a shoe free agent. And so what
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Steph Curry and his inner circle have come up with.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: They're like, all right, here's what we do. We're gonna
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: rock like old school shoes, right, wear like vintage Jordan's
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: one game and walk in with like some Kobe shoes
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: and some Alan iverson shoes. That's what he did on
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Smith's Day. He walked in like paying homage to Kobe
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: and Ai and Oh, we're gonna wear some shack shoes. Oh,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: we're gonna do that. I don't freaking care. I don't
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: care at all, not even a little. So that was
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: one of the headlines. It's like, oh, we got a
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Steph Curry shoe update, all right, Uh, swipe left on
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: that joker. Fifty six point triple double. Insanity, just insane.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: By the way, the most insane part of this fifty
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: six points sixteen boards, fifteen assists. You know what he
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: shot from the field fifteen for twenty one. That's an
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: efficient fifty six point triple double. That's insanity right there.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: And of course the Spurs beat the Thunder again, third
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: time in two weeks. They beat the Thunder. Remember we
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: were talking about the Thunder. They started off twenty four
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: and one. We're like, they might win seventy five games. Yeah,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: that's that's clearly not happening. Likely to get to seventy
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: right now,
