3-03-26 Hour 2 - Properly valuing Free Agent RBs/Nugs miss Aaron Gordon/Oh, By the Way... · Moser, Lombardi and Kane

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is Moser, Lombardy and Caine on demand. Listen live
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio ninety two five and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: So good, all right, I still love you, Brett, Sure
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: love you, man? What love you, buddy? Wait, a great morning,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: love you too.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Just shut it down. You're messed up. You're messed up.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Shut it down today, quick, dig in the hole.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: The trade yesterday again. I think that most Broncos fans
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: would like to have David Montgomery here. Felt like the
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: type back you would like in your backfield. Big bruiser,
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: can run between the tackles, can do the dirty work,
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: all that different stuff. But when you found out what
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: he was traded for, it was a fourth round pick,
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: a seventh in thee.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: A fourth and a seventh and a guy we've never
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: heard of. Oh that's a real pain. And he has
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to do is that's a really tough deal to get done.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: So the reason why I think this is interesting is
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: because a guy like Joe Mixon was traded for less
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: last year. Running backs have been traded for less over
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: the past few years. This might trigger some sort of
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: bump in the running back market. Which I was waiting
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: to see if that was gonna happen. Remember, I told
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: you was really interesting. A couple of years ago, when
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: the Falcons drafted Bjeon Robinson at six, the Lions drafted
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Jamiir Gibbs at twelve, the NFL scout people, the draft
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: analysts were like, why would you spend that much capital
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: on a running back? It doesn't have that value. Well,
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: when Robinson runs for fifteen hundred yards, it's all of
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: a sudden, has six overall pick value, and I think
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: overall the running.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Backs, but he's a stud bright. I mean, these guys
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: are Bijon, Jonathan Taylor, you know, Henry Saqual. These are
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the bell cows that are now seemingly few and formal
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: tween buddy.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: But but I think this is triggering a in up,
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: a rising value for the running backs again, which means
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: if you want one of these guys, if you want
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: a Breese Hall, you probably can't have to pay more
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: than you would previously, because I think that number is
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: going up for them because they're seeing the value and
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: having a guy that they can rely upon again. And
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: the Broncos have addressed the running back position as a must.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: This offseason. And what I'm saying is you should be
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: willing if Breesaw says I want ten million year in
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: the grand scheme of things, ten million is nothing. It's
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: just a lot for a running back.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: What if they've targeted a couple in the draft and
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: that's their answer.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Well, they did that last year with RJ. Harvey and
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: they said they're looking for a running back again, so
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: they better be sure.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, you can't have too many. I guess he can't
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: have too many.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Well, you remember that that quote from Sean Payton about RJ. Harvey.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: He's a good back.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: We like him.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: He's just got to get a little bit better in
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: the run game. And I'm like, well, what's his job? Yeah,
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: what's his job? Like that's it's something that doesn't need
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: to be worked on. You should be pretty good in
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: that category.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Already agreed. But I want to pick Vick's brain here
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a little bit, Brett regarding the Broncos and Davis Webb,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: because some control has been given up by Sean Payton.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: But where does that control stop? Where does it end?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Does he now get a say, vic in the picking
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: of the groceries off the shelf? I'm sure that's the question. Yeah, Okay,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: So if Sean Payton Vick seems to think that the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: running game needs to get going, that RG Harvey needs
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to improve his game, and Davis Webb is now going
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: to be calling the plays and maybe he wants a
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: certain style back to go along with. Listen, it's still
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Sean Payton's offense, it's still his play design, it's all,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, everything encompassing Sean Payton. It's just the Davis
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Webb is going to be reading off the menu now.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: So my question is, if you're reading off the menu,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: do you have a say in what the backs look
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: like or what they do best. I'm just curious as
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to where that line of d mark.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: It's always a joint effort, right, coach has always had
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: a certain players, I agree, which is always and they
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: go to the table and they pound their fists and
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: they say I want this guy, and ultimately the head
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: coach and the GM will make that decision. But I'm
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: sure he's pounding his fists at you know, he's pounding
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: the table for certain players right now. That's what you're
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: paid to do. Why wouldn't you do that.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: In this jobbies year in the search for finding some
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: weapons on offense. I thought this was interesting. So just
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: just to start here, Jeremy Fowler VSPN said, for Mike Evans,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: the criteria that he he wants in his next team
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: is a quarterback he believes in a chance at a
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl, a top shelf offensive coordinator, and a promise
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: of high volume touches. Okay, Luke Evans talked to Mike
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: evans agent Derek Gilmour, and he goes, hey, are the
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Broncos an option. Here's what he said, said that they
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: have the offensive minded coach and offensive coordinator that checks out.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: But here's the from the agent. They'd have to want
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: to get rid of Courtland Sutton. I don't think they're
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: going to do that, so I don't think Evans ends
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: up there.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I was thinking the exact same thing when you mentioned
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: all the requirements. They have a possession receiver already, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: they have a possession receiver who fits the same mold,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: who plays the same way. I NA not a fit
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: So what.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I've heard that, I mean, Mike Evans is good. He's
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: had He's a thousand yard receiver every year of his career.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: He's great. They have one of those.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Well, Cortlon Suton's not a thousand yard receiver every year.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about the body type, the tests, true player
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: they have one.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Mike Evans is better.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: He's a better version of that though he is.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Maybe he can make the argument he's better because he's
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: been giving more opportunities to get the ball.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I agree with Vi.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Well, okay, I'd say this.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I mean Cortland's running his routes, Brettan, Cortland's doing what
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Cortland does. His game doesn't change. He's not He's not
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a guy where he's drops off. He's the same guy
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: every game. It's a matter of whether you get the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: ball to three.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: I'm sort of tired of people, you know, busting on
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Cortland Sutton. It's a deependent position. You gotta get the
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: ball to him if you want to see that you
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: give him the opportunity. How many times when Mike Evans
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: is running routes, he's covered and they still get him
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: the ball.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I do think Sutton doesn't get the yards
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: after the catch though, blah blah blah. No he doesn't,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: but that's not his role.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: He's not Mike Evans exactly. A yack guy either exactly.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Here's what I want to ask though in this, like
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: what is it that you want from a wide receiver?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Then?
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Like, because I got a newsflash for a lot of
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: people that think, hey, at speedster or something like that,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton only plays guys who are six foot three.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: It's why Marvin Mims doesn't play. They got a guy
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: with speed they have that he's not tall enough. So
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: if you want speed and size, good luck finding Calvin Johnson.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: They're pretty hard to find. So what do you want? Like,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: am I wrong here?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: No, dude, those megatrons. Those megatrons are so rare. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: know everybody wants one, but they're just so difficult to.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Fit, you know my point? Most it's like, well, Mike
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Evans is basically another Courtland Sutton. I'm like, they have
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: four Courtland Suttons at wide receiver and that's the only
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: guys they play.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: They don't play. Mar talks. We gotta talk to big
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: big Kevin hang on Kevin, who KD I'm looking at Pooka.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: This is so interesting to me. How awesome is Pooka Nakua?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: He's pretty good by the way he was at the
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: game last night. The AVS game. He was Yeah, he
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: was there with an influencer. Okay, I'll let your mind
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: wander on that anyway, So Pooka, I realize Pooka was
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: a fifth round pick. Puka Nakula, fifth rounder out there
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: for anybody to take a swing out at least four times,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: anybody I got I got better credit you better credit
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: the damn LA RAM scouting staff for going to Byu
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and saying, hey, man, was it b Yu? Where do
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: you go? Utah b Yu?
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I've got I've got by I've got a name for
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: you right now. And he's currently the twelfth no. He's
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: currently the thirteenth rated receiver in the draft. I really
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: like him. I've seen him a couple of times, and
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: he fits the requirements of a Sean Payton receiver. He's tall, tall,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: and that's where the requirements end. Apparently he catches everything.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I like.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Jakobe Lane from USC A lot.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I'd be fine with that a lot.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: That's fine. You know, Vic and I chawan Vic and
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I could run three nineties and Sean Payton muc go.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: You suck no. Seriously, Kane Bret Kine, I know you
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: run a five to three, but you're six three, No, no, no,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I know. We'm like, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: We've made like a bit out of this and it's
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: been funny, but it's no longer a bit. It's it's
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: just a fact. Marvin Mims, whenever he plays and he
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: gets the football, makes a play happen, and then he
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: doesn't play anymore. And then they go and sign litle
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Jordan Humphrey and he gets more snaps than Marvin Mims.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: And explain that one to me, because it happens every year.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Every year, big tall guy who can't really run plays
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: more snaps than small, fast guy who makes plays happen.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: And it seems like the only requirement necessary is you're
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: six ft three and if you're that, then you can
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: get on the football field. Because when we talk about, oh,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: this guy's got the same body type as Courtland Sutton,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: so does Pat Bryant, and so does Troy Franklin, and
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: so does little Jordan Humphrey and so does everybody else.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Think it's on the field at wide receiver, like they're
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: all the same. When we looked over at training camp,
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: you guys, remember we're in our tent. We're looking at
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: the wide receiver catching on the drugs machine. They all
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: looked like the same guy, like they were cloned.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: It's like they're all trying. They're all auditioning for the
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: same part in a movie.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Right, Yes, here's what's funny motion. The last time we
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: talked about this, they said.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Tall, handsome, athletic. Yeah, this is all these dudes out here,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: every single one of them.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: The last time we talked about this, they said, when's
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: the last time that Sean Payton utilized a wide receiver
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: that's under six feet tall? And people said he drafted
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Brandon Cooks. I want to know a fun story about that.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Brandon Cook's a very good wide receiver. Now long you
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: played for Sean Payton three years, they traded him. Despite success,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: they traded him.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: I can't tell you why that's that's an issue in
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: this offense. Maybe things change at Davis Webb calling the place.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Maybe he'll have a stronger saying how to utilize that.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: That's where my question comes in. Where does it end?
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Where is that line? How much does Sean Payton take
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: under consideration? Does Davis website as Sean and George Peyton? Hey, dudes,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: if I could just get a guy like this, just
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: lay it out there. If I could just have these
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: qualities and a guy, I'd be happy as a pig
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: and slop. I don't know, or do Sean Payton and
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: George Payton go, look, hey, Dave Davis, love you, man,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: love you. You're gonna call the plays out of this playbook.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: We're letting you do that, but let us handle the personnel. Okay.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know where that begins. And I realize it's
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: a team effort, but they're different people and they have
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: different wants and different needs. So where for Davis Webb
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: does that lie? I do not know, and I won't
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: know for a long time.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: You guys want a fun fact? Did you know you're
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: ready to be a gazebo?
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Mos? Please my door? I have for my doors.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: You guys remember Frank Crumb, right?
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Fine, yeah, the offensive lineman.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he had one less touchdown last season than Marvin
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Mims did.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: That's had receive and Marvin Mims. You know, they don't
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: win that AFC. They don't win that divisional game without him.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Do you remember some of the catches and plays he made?
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: It was amazing?
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Do you remember what he did late in that game?
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Do you remember that over the shoulder left catch he
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: made on the left side.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Why did he play? He played and Troy Franklin, and
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: then he led the Broncos with twelve postseason catches, five
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: more than Courtland Suton.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna get me. No, I understand this.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: No, I'm just I sometimes like the yelling to the void. Okay,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: let me be the preacher talking to my choir.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: First, do you want to yelling to avoid just whispering?
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I moosure's ear.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Hmmm.
• 12:50

  Speaker 4: location near you and order a Papamurphy's dot com again.

  Speaker 4: The keyword for this hour is slow, dude.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: How easy is Papa Murphy's. You stop, you get your pie,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: you pick it up, you take it home at your convenience.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: You pop it in Papa Murphy's rules. I just wish
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: it was open when I was hungry at like eight
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: thirty in the morning one day and I'm driving by
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: and I see Papa Murphy's. I'm like, I'd like to
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: pull in right now, just grab one. I really really
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: would have been up for like four hours. I want
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: a pizza at am. I just am craving it. I'm
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: needing it, can't get it.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: And I asked a question because there's been we had
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: a call earlier that we we couldn't get to, but
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: there was a whole bunch of text coming through. Hey guys,
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: this is super easy. When Aaron Gordon comes back, everything
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: will be a lot better. It will be better. And
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: I think there's an argument to be made. We've mentioned
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: this before, We've had this comparison that most how many
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: times have we talked about the AVS record with and
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: without Valda Chushkin in the lineup, and how much of
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: a difference maker he is to winning and losing games.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: And I thought Aaron Gordon's scoring.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: No, you're fine. I thought Aaron Gordon is the same
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: sort of feel He's not gonna be an All Star.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: He's not gonna be a guy that gets a whole
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: bunch of praise outside of the team and the fan
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: base that he plays for. But he is so essential
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: to your success. He's going to help. I don't know
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: if he's a magic elixir to the problems that the
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Nuggets have right now, though that's my concern. He'll make
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: them better, for sure, but I don't think all your
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: problems are solved by Aaron Gordon coming back.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Here's my only issue with AG and Peyton Watson returning
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: hopefully this week. Maybe we'll get one, if not both
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: of them against the Lakers. Keep an eye on that
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: injury report here in the next couple of days. Here's
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: the issue I have is I wish they had a
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: couple of ramp up games against lesser opponents to get
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: it going. They're gonna be returning. It's like jumping onto
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: the highway on an on ramp and you have to
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: suddenly speed up to you know, seventy five miles an hour.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: You have to get sold right, and they're gonna be
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: They're gonna be on ramping into a six game stretch here.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: That is as close to a playoff feel as it gets.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: And that's asking a lot from guys coming off soft
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: tissue injuries.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I've got a great on ramp story that I'm gonna
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: save for another time.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, no, please share it with us most.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's been one of those days.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Keep going on a scale from one to ten, how
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: much butt gouz is there in your un ramp story?
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: You know what you tell one butt God's story. You're
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: labeled a butt God's guy for the rest of your life.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, man, It just seems it's just
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: that's just rude. People don't forget rude.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Uh, but yeah, they don't have an ease into playing
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: time thing again. But here's the other problem for all
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: those that say, hey, everything's gonna be all as well
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: again when Aaron Gordon returns the lineup. My next question is,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: as much as I hate to say it, yeah, for
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: how long AG hasn't played sixteen straight games for two
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: straight years? Even when he does return, there's no guarantee
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: that he continues to play every game throughout the rest
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: of the year. And I don't know how you manage this.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: If you're Adaman, do you keep giving him days off occasionally?
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Does that even help?
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Here's my other issue with that mentality, and I get it,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: people have to think what they want, just to know
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: it's sometimes a coping mechanism. They got through the month
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: of January with half a roster. They got through the
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: month of January with some of their best players sitting
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: on them.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: But they can't do it then, but they're capable.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: My point is there were no excuses then it was
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: hey man, and they were on the road for a
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: lot of those games. They went ten and six. So
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: why is it that because they're missing a G and
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Peyton Watson we have a built in excuse that this
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: is why they're losing games.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Oh shouldn't I shouldn't have an excuse. There should be
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: no excuse for the Denver Nuggets. There really shouldn't be.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: Right now, do you want me to get technical?
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: You can get to this.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I'll have a counter to everything you say, because I've
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: had this this argument with people. I don't the reason
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: you build a roster in the off season. The Nuggets
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: added depth to their roster. They had to, and the
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: reason you do that is for these purposes, because no
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: team gets through a regular season. Scott free, You're going
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: to have injuries, so you need depth in your lineup
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: to survive. In January they survived, they thrived. In February
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: they were awful.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: Okay, uh, if you want me to get technical, I'm
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: not even saying I believe in this. But this isn't
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: a Devil's Advocate argument. That missing Aaron Gordon and Peyton
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Watson when you're playing Detroit, New York, Cleveland, LA, Golden State, Boston, OKC,
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Minnesota teams like that is much different than missing half
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: your roster and having this stretch, which was Atlanta, Milwaukee,
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: New Orleans, Dallas, Washington, Charlotte.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Hey, did you see?
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: And that was probably the easiest part of their schedules
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: when they were missing the bulk of their.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I'll buy that. I'll buy that. Okay, I'll buy that.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, you played many of those
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: games without your your center.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: They didn't have centers. So again, just the Devil's advocate argument,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: that's all, Okay, I said, Devil's hard far.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: NiCl Well, there's a what would you say.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Somebody speak? I don't know it all right, let's go
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: to hand raising next.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Somebody I try. It doesn't work.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Somebody speak for crying out loud.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: I'll let him speA because if I speak, he's just
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: going to interject anyway.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: So go ahead. What I'm saying is Brett, all of
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: that is correct. All of what you're saying sounds very viable.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Vick wants to swat your words back into your own mouth.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I don't want to do that. I want to absorb them,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: and I am doing that right now. But it just
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: doesn't have the same feel. And I guess my question
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: is when will it or will it ever? And not
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: only that, but Aaron Gordon is a His hamstring is
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: a real problem. This feels like something. I don't care
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: how many witch doctors you get waving their magic chicken
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: bones over his legs. It just seems to linger and
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: continue and come back time and time again. And it's
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: just I hate to be that guy. I don't I
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: want to be a positive guy. I don't want to
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: be negative. I don't want to be dour. I want
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: to be like, oh yeah, dude, they're gonna figure this
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: thing out. Well, it certainly doesn't feel like it. There's
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: no umph, there's no jam, there's no there's no positive vibes,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: there's no, we're gonna get these guys. Where did that
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Nuggets team go? What bus did they take into where? Vic?
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I just don't I don't know because it just doesn't
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: feel the same.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm looking at the schedule here, and if you
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: guys recall when Joker returned, his first game back was
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: January thirtieth against the Clippers. They won that game, jokerd
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: thirty one to twelve. Okay, and that was his first
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: game off the injury, and you're thinking to yourself at
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: that point, Okay, here we go. Then they lose three
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: in a row. They lose to OKC, they lose at
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: the they lose at New York. Now those aren't your
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: typical losses because they had an opportunity to win each
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: of those games. Those are those clutch losses, especially the
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: New York one where they lost in double overtime. Then
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: they lose, then they beat Chicago. Then they lose another
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: type game by two to Cleveland. And then they lose
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: another type game one in LA that came right after
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: the All Star break, that lost by a point. You
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: remember that one, Yeah, Then they lose another type game
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: at Golden State where they're leading the entire time so frustrating.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: You know, it's it's these they're competing, they're competing like hard,
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: they're just not finishing.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: But that's fatal. That's fatal. That gets you balanced, that
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: stops you from winning a championship. And where the Nuggets
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: are where we And here's what's more difficult. Somebody tried
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: to make the comparison between the Nuggets and the Broncos
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: earlier in the show. It is not the same comparison,
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: and it's because the expectations were wildly different when this
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: season started. We all looked at the Nuggets lineup and said,
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: that should be a championship roster. That's where you should be.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: We looked at the Broncos lineup and we said, man,
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: I think they'll make the playoff team.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, playoff team.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe they'll compete with Kansas City. And then it
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: just it turned into something entirely different. But when your
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: starting point is this team better win the title because
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: it's the best roster they've ever had, there's not a
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: lot of places to go up from there. So it's
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: either you live up to it. You do what the
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: Avs did to start the season most where they didn't
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: lose two games, in regulation for like three months. That
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: is living up to the expectation of what you had
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: for them.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Let me ask a question that perhaps it's going to
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: be a subjective answer, obviously, but I just I'm curious.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: For all those listening what Nuggets game this season? This
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: is going to force you to do a little recollecting.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: What Nuggets game? The We did some recollecting.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Are you done?
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's funny.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: One Nuggets game brought you the most joy?
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Which one Boston? Recent Boston. I thought they were gonna
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: get smoked and they stopped their faces, Victor. That one
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: game brought me a plenty of joy. Now mixed in
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: that game is plenty of pain, lots of pain. I'm
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: so pissed about the Clippers in the Golden State game.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Still to this day, I'm really upset about those because
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: they had them, they had them, and they let them
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: off the Hawk And I'm.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Just No, you might be the only person who's gonna
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: answer that question. You could say, Christmas, Minnesota. No, you
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: guys are all wrong. You guys are all wrong.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: See, here's the thing. You asked the question, I give
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: you my answer, and then you tell me I'm wrong.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: This is he started.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: This is all subjective and it's it's my feelings.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Feelings are flawed. Everybody knows what game brought every Nuggets
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: fan the most joy. It was the under Man game
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: on the road in Philly on national television. That was
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: the game that was the joy. That was the game
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: where you couldn't believe what they did and they played
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: with passion and they played You remember that game, it's
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: not even close.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: You'll get your up in fifty six min and overtime
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: on Christmas was pretty cool.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: But that made your heart drop. That game was like,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: oh my god, they're gonna lose. And the game that
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: brought the most joy. I didn't ask what was your
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: favorite game? What game brought the most joy?
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: It was joyful on Christmas. Now you know what the.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Answer to that question is. You just don't. You missed it.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: You stopped the past.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: You stopped for a second. When you start something by
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: saying this, I'm gonna ask a question. Everybody can have
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: a different opinion on this, and then somebody has a
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: different opinion and then you say they're wrong.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: That's not then you blast me by my blastler like mosh.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: You can't play that game.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like when ask your question, what's your favorite
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: ice cream? Everybody has got to pay what's your favorite?
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Well you know what, vic, I really like Rocky Road. No,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: you're wrong, dumb.

• 28:14
  Speaker 4: What do you guys?
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: What are you guys thoughts on the way Nikolik has
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: approached the last few games.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: I think he's I think he vick, you know what.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: I like him as a compass. He's like my north star.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Not because he's the best player in the world, because
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: he's got a good head on his shoulders. He's got
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: a good feel about his basketball team. That's why I
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: mean he could have been he could be the fourth
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: option on this team. But I think his knowledge of
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: his club and where they are that that opinion goes
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: a long way for me. I think he thinks that
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: they're out of sync, that something is off right now,
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: and he's just trying to fight through it. That's what
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: it feels like. I could be wrong, but it feels
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: like he feels something is off and he's trying to
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: let his guys work through it.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Brett, I don't like it at all. I think that
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: there's like a passiveness to his game that I don't like.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: It looks like he's like, can I get it. He's
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: frustrated because he's getting he's getting hit by big guys
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: small guys like he's he's not getting calls that he likes,
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: but it's resorting to a lot of flopping and foubating
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: that he's also not getting. I just I don't I
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: don't like this game at all. It doesn't look like him.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: And I've said that for like a month, Yes, that
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: it doesn't look like him, And that's kind of why
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: the team doesn't look right.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: He looks frustrated all the time, on and off the floor.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: That's what he looks like. He looks like a lot
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: of things are frustrating him, about his squad and about
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: maybe even himself, and about the refereeing and about everything.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: There's just a whole lot of angst going on, Vick.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know how else to put it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: By the way, yeah, go ahead, good, by the way,
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: finish it. You see that couch right there, Yeah, I'm
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: getting on that couch.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: And during the next I don't care. I'm getting on
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: that couch.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't care. Nobody cares about your couch. Literally,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: nobody cares about your couch.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I'm getting on it. Okay, I'm gonna stretch out too.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: That's great.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: We're having a good conversation. That we're getting we're done,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: we're having a good conversation. We get it, and you
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: you just can't help yourself.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Keyword for this hour reminder to you, guys, this hour's
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: keyword is slow, So tax slow in your first and
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: last name to three oh three, five, four, nine two five,
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Yet one more coming your way at nine to twenty
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: this morning. Also keep this in mind. The As are
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: back at it to night against the Ducks after last
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: night's win over the Kings. You can tune in for
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: pregame coverage powered by Ramos Laws starting at seven point
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: thirty on ninety two five.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Let me offer just my thought on this. I think
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Nicolon in the next games because the tape is out
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: and you're gonna see more teams tried to do what
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Utah did last night. You're just going to see it,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: especially in clutch moments and big games. They're gonna try
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: to front him. So it's up to the Nuggets coaching staff,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: along with Nicola, to figure out an antidote to that.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: You can't go on by you know, falling on guys,
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: because at some point something crazy is going to happen, right,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: It's gonna happen. Well, it's just it's just going to
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: reach a boiling point.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: It also shows that you they're in your head. I
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: mean it's that too. Yes, most quickly, do you know
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: how mad I got?
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: You're gonna get another look at the couch.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: I'd like if you were quickly. Do you remember how
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: mad I used to get? What I would talk about
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: check book cover night at a Rockies game where everybody
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: got a free check book cover, and it just flamed
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: my bacon, Like you get a seven year old kid
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: going home with a check book cover. Look at the
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: hell I've got. As we get into Oh, by the way,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I've got the worst promotion in the history of sports
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: for a team.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Hey, we get to it next. Oh by the way,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: stories from around sports in the world, and uh, we
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: think you should know. Here's one of them. Nathan McKinnon
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: commented on the Olympics, by the way, and not the
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: answer I was expecting, Adam McKinnon.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: He said this, It was great.
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: I had an awesome time, definitely very memorable and yeah,
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: had a blast.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: There's a lot to take out of that.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Just what was it like playing with that group?
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of people were just talking about
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: the talent that was assembled on that roster.
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was special, I mean obviously a special experience,
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: special group, amazing group of guys players obviously. Yeah, we
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: came together really well and just kind of just short.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: So they kept pressing him on this. I'm gonna give
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: you one more quick clip.
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: Listen, just finally, I mean, I had an amazing time.
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: It was a really unique hockey experience. Yeah, nothing but
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: good memories. Obviously it stings, still still things, but you
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: know I had a amazing time. Everyone did, and nothing
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: but positive memories from that tournament?
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: Is that him through gritted teeth, just being like, here's
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: the answer I'm gonna give because my actual answer is
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: I want to fight anybody who asked me about that.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah it is. Hey, turn his camera off. Clear here,
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: he's not he's not in the show. Just turn him off.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Just get him out of get him off the show.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I'm here.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's the stuffy picture again. Now listen, when Nathan
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: McKinnon is asked about his Olympic experience. I'm sure he
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: did have a good time, but I still remember Krekman's
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: clip or his tweet afterwards where he said, I'm sure it's.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Your favorite tweet of all time. It's one of your
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be one of your top ten of all time.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: It was so perfect us.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: I'm sure I don't have it in front of me,
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: but it was something like, I'm sure Nathan McKinnon will
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: shrug this off, take this in stride and be joyful
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: for the experience. He had no way.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: You know, Mosa could do some behind the scenes on this,
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: but I guarantee uh Nate was coached on what to
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: say when asked about the Olympics.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, man, I don't know how anybody else feels.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: But if it was me, and again, Vic, don't chastise
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: me for having my own feelings that maybe don't jive
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: with your feelings. If it was me, I would be
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: bummed and pissed until the day I die. Me too.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't disagree with you.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: I mean it was Brett bred If you, Brett, if
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: you had a chance to win the College World Series
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: and you came up short in extra innings, would that
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: not piss you off till the day you die.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: I'd be joyful for the experience. Drug it off and
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: you know what, take it on.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Just shut up your hole.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: The follower question. The follow up question to Nate could
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: have been, do you still have the stuffed animal?
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: Somebody's got to ask him about that, maybe in the
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: off season.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Wait, he's a grown man who was given a frigging
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Doc Toys consolation prize. Of course, No, man, it's it's.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, it's you know what for now,
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: IOC call me when you want to know what gifts
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: to give guys. Instead of giving a grown man of
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: stuffed animal, give them like a brand new Wedge fifty
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: sixty three.

  Speaker 5: It is to celebrate the growing pickleball movement with fellow players,
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: friends and fans and enjoy an exciting night of hockey.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Whose idea was that?
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Most? Whose idea was that? I But let me tell
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: you something.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Most who decided that we're going to play a role
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: in this ridiculous trend. This what else do you call it?
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: What do you call I don't know, but let me
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: say something to you before you go crazy. Some of
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: the nights they've had at Ball Arena, like it was
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: the what was the girl who wrote the novel the
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: book night?
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: It was Fourth Wing night and Rebecca Yarrows is the author.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Rebecca Yarros was there. I have no idea
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: who she is. I have no idea about fourth wing,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: but it was in c incredibly popular, like they got
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: a pulse on what's going on. So if they have
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: pickle ball night, as much as it may anger you,
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: and you and believe me, it's five point forty five
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: in the morning, I'm shooting hoops of my gym, getting
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: a workout in before the show, and they tell me, hey,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: by the way, hoops boy, get your ass off the
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: floor because we're gonna play pickleball in here in fifteen minutes.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: And that pisses Yeah. I get mad too, but I'm
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: telling you right now. And by the way, Pickleball Organization
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: of Denver tweeted at me last night saying we'll see
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: you there, dominant dude, or what did I say? I
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: don't know anyway, Wait wait, wait.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Wait, some pickleball association tweeted as you Yeah, listen, I'm
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: gonna say it again for all those who haven't heard.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: I have no problem with you.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Want to do your will either. I think I play
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: if you want to. You know I've played too. My
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: brother has a court. It's a basketball court that they
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: played pick a ball on, but it's a basketball court first.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: If you want to play pickle. Go ahead, it's adult pingpong.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: That's all it is. It doesn't take any athletic skill.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: Anybody can learn it. It's it's not that hard. It's
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: not Oh boy, but there's pros. Oh big deal. I
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: didn't be pro at anything. What my problem is is
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: when you take basketball courts down and tennis courts down,
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: play your pickle. That's not acceptable.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: It just stopped doing got I got contacted by the
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: Denver Pickleball Club. They were very nice, but this is
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: a this listen, so before you knock it, Vic, this
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: is a thing, and we're gonna have pickleball night, and
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna try to secure me a
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: paddle of my own, even though I probably shouldn't.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: One last though, by the way, you guys are aware
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: of Yankee second basement Jazz Chisholm.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: Right, I saw what he did yesterday.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: You ever had a wait, you had a home? Whatever
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: you do, don't juxtapose those two names.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, true, Uh, most you get home one.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: Do I look like I've had a hole in one? Jackass? No,
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: I haven't.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: I've seen I've I've had one.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: Well, Vic, have you had a hole in one? From
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: three hundred and twenty three yards out. No, sir, Jazz
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: Chisholm did that yesterday.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: And here's what.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: There's like three parts of this. First of all, to
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: get a hole in one on a par four that's
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: three twenty three out. Secondly, I don't know what it
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: is about athletes playing golf. They I guess they wear
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: whatever they want to. He's in a wife beater playing golf. Thirdly, God,
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: there's something that bothered me and watching the video of
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: him doing this, he kept shouting as he went up
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: there and grabbed the ball of the hole. I double eagled,
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: I double eagled. Just say you got a hole in one, pal.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: I know that technically is correct, but.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Double eagles harder than a hole in one. They're more
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: rarer than a hole.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: Say I got a hole in one out before. Yeah,
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: it's way cooler to say than double eagle.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: Gotcha. And it looked like he was playing with a
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: range ball, the Brett Kane specialty.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you, it's baseball, guys. We just want to
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: go out there and bang a ball around. We don't
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: care which ball it is. Put it on the table at.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: It rip a table. That time I had that kid
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: beat my brains out with a with a practice pits,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: his practice you know, practice ball beat me by like
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: six strokes. That was a bad day.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: But what the the identification of the lady that Pukaku
• 44:14
