  Speaker 1: And our lead from Italy where if you're addicted to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: watching the Olympic Games, there's nothing left for you. It's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: all over. The final day is in the books now
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six Milan Courtina Winter Olympic Games, Bye bye,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: see it. Let me get out of here. They're done.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And it was a breakfast showdown for the ages, for
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the ages, the Canadians versus the Americans, for all the gold,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: well whatever that is. I don't know how much gold
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: is actually in a gold medal, but they played the
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: game dropping the puck just after eight in the morning
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: on the East coast, five in the morning on the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: West coast. I don't know if you watched or not.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe you got up early and you were watching and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: perhaps you decided to pick sleep. That's what I did.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Get on. I do an overnight show. I'm not getting
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: up at that. How are you kidding me? No way,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: if the game's played at a time I can watch it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I watched it, and I got up. Thanks to the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: world that we live in, and you can see everything
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you need to see all that. But my god, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: was snoozing away. I had no concerns, no concerns at all,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: but I watched it on demand there as the game
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: ended up going to overtime and Jack Hughes, who Jack
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Hughes gets it done? There, the US hockey hero as
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: he scored what mister Albert called the golden goal, the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: golden goal there against Canada and the game winner won
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: forty one into overtime, and turn at the lads, the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: parties over forty six years, forty six years in the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: making the Miracle on ice, I guess they can stop
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: making documentaries about the Miracle on ice now and now
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I can do something with this. I'm probably made a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: document you might imagine there, So anyway, listen, the debate
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: now is taking place after the USA won the gold
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: in men's hockey. How big a deal is this? How
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: big a deal is it? So? Well, that's a good
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: jumping all point. Let us discuss the question who benefits
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: more from the golden goal? I like the golden goal,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: as Kenny Albert called it, Who benefits more the NHL
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: marketing department or Jack Hughes himself, meaning that, Hey, now,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: this big game. I'm sure the rings were great, even
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: though it was played at a ridiculous out and yet
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: will this elevate the game of hockey? So I've got
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: my thoughts on this. I've got Marvel Comics, iPad and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Beyond Meat and we will combine all these things together
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and make some hot dogs and apple pie classic American meal,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: just like that. All right? So ay, the answer to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the question who benefits more? Side by side, You've got
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the NHL marketing people on one side, You've got Jack
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Hues over here on the other side, and the arrow
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: is pointing towards Jack Hughes by a country mile, by
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a country mile. The Olympics are all about what they're about,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: flag waving, chess thumping, taking condoms from the Olympics, like
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. That's what this is about, and patriotism
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So it's a different audience. I've
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: tried to explain this people. They don't understand. They're called idiots.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But I've tried to explain this, like we didn't talk
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: too much about the Olympics on this show because we
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: know our audience, and this is not that right. You're
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: not getting the people that were watching the Olympics, who
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: are really into the Olympics are not going to be
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: watching a San Jose Sharks game against the Columbus Blue
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Jackets on a random Tuesday night. They're just not Okay,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. I can watch a Devil's Stars
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: game on a Thursday night. The NHL. The idea that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the NHL, many of the people around the NHL have
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that this is going to rise. You know, the the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: NHL players being in the Olympics the way that they
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: were when they stopped the hockey season and all that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: stuff that you know, rising tide lifts all boats is
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the mindset. And while that might be true, I see
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: no evidence that that is going to be the case.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: It's one speed boat. Granted it's a good looking speed boat,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: solid speed boat, and Jack Hughes is driving. He scored
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the Golden goal and all that, and that's great, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: had a mouthful of chicklets and took some lumber from
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Sam Bennett. The teeth go flying, so that was kind
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of cool. That's marketing gold, is what that is. Forget
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the golden goal, that's marketing gold. You get the bloody
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: lip there, some teeth missing, and he's wrapped himself in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the flag. There the stars and stripes and all that.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Madison Avenue got a little chubby. They're drooling. They're so excited.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, we got this grit. And so the NHL,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: they will get a temporary sugar high. The NHL will
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: get a temporary sugar high. This wasn't twenty college kids
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: capturing the hearts, minds, and souls of an entire sporting
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: nation by ending the Soviet Union's reign of terror. This
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: was not that. This was a bunch of high paid
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: NHL stars who went out and beat a bunch of
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: other high paid NHL stars who happened to be wearing
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: laundry representing their country. Stop. That's what this was. Plus,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the NHL's got other issues, like all the sports league
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: day to day, they're in the purgatory of regional cable television,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: streaming issues, all that stuff. So they've got they've got
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that now, Jack Hughes, I gotta think of this like
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Marvel comics. I think of this like Marvel Comics because
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: he just became Captain America with that gap tooth grin
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and from a marketing standpoint, you got it's a brave
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: new world with Jack Ues. And while the Devils, the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: New Jersey Devils, are not exactly a glamour destination in
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the National Hockey League, this is for him breakout. I
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: could see him doing some insurance commercials, medical spots, sell toothpaste,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: some kind of dental repair operation, advertising, all that stuff,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and he'll get the branding. You know, There'll definitely be
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: some branding here for Jack Ues, that is for sure.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And even you know, upset and I did kind of
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: enjoy the people who, you know, those that live here
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in America who hate America. There are many of them
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: who are very upset by all of this, and it's just, oh,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I've annoyed. Everyone's wrapping themselves in the flag and all
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that stuff, and it's all about the country. It's all
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: about right. I love and Jack you said that after
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the Games. I love the USA and all that, and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: they boys got a phone call from the president and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: in the locker room there to congratulate them. You had
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the FBI director was out there futzing around, celebrating, and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: so there you go. Those of you that don't like
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the American and all that, well, it was kicking the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: nuts to you. I'm sorry about that. It'll be okay,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: all right. Now the other side here, the losing locker room,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: which is usually the better story. We had some interesting
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: reactions here, including look at the Canadians and how they
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: handle this very embarrassing right for our brothers and sisters
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: in Canada. So the Avalanche center Nathan McKinnon is his name,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and he was asked about the final loss, you know,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the Olympic loss there in the final game, the gold
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: medal game, and he said, quote, you be the judge
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of who was the better team today? That was the quote,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: You be the judge if with the better team? Was
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: they clearly implying that the better team lost the game.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: So the question Nathan McKinnon part of the Canadians, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: he says, essentially that the better team Canada lost to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the lesser team the USA in the Winter Olympics. Gold
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: medal hockey game. Can you put it into context what
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: he's getting at? So? What is he getting so Nathan McKinnon,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: after a minutes long deliberation of the available information, Nathan
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: McKinnon is in full blown Morton's salt kind of mind.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: He's in like a Morton Salt state of mind is
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: what he's in right now. He's sprinkling the coach, your
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: salt on the wound, is what he's doing here. Canada
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: did win the box score. We then when the boxers
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: had forty two shots and Team USA had twenty eight.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Congratulations you team Canada dominated the iPad. Unfortunately, I don't
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: know there's any way around this. Unfortunately the game is
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: not played on a tablet, which is just a shame.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: It's played on ice, frozen water. And you gotta put
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the puck in the net, not on the net, in
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the net. You gotta put it in the net. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the would have, could have, should have, which I guess
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: works in a therapy session when you're going to see
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: your shrink. I could have, I should have, I would Okay, good,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: sit down, I'll charge you a redonculous amount of money
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: for the hour, right why not? And Team Canada. Saw
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: what I saw on the re not rebroadcasts, the stream,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the thing of a jay I clicked on there. They
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: had prime rib opportunity, several of them, several of them,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and they didn't cash in and they left that on
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the plate. And that's on them. That's on them, including
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the man who said that essentially the Canadian team is
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: better than the US team, Nathan McKinnon, who had an
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: open net and somehow screwed it up to not get
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the puck in the net. That's the yetti in the room.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: That's the bombinable snowman in the room. And then there's
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Hell on ice, Connor Hellibuck, the goaltender forty one saves
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: forty one, says Hell on Ice for Team USA, and
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: oh it was so nice. And he believe he plays
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: for the Winnipeg Jets, so I'm sure he'll be getting
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: his balls busted when he goes back to Winnipeg. But
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: there you go, got it done. One game situation, and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: that's usually how that goes. And you don't want to
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: go down to one game in hockey because the goalie,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: when he goalie gets like that, it's like a forest fire.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna You're not gonna stop it, You're not
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: putting it out, So good luck on that now, last word,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: just from a wide angle lens from thousands of feet
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: up in the sky, looking down and seeing what has
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: happened here, the curtain coming down on the Milana Cortina
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Winter Olympic Games and all that. They had the closing
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: ceremonies on Sunday. Now, I did not watch the closing ceremonies.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not a closing ceremonies guy. That's not my thing.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: If it's your thing, congratulations, I hope you enjoyed it.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: If you like the dancing and all that stuff, more
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: power to you, not for me, Not for me. So
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I did not watch it. I understand though there was
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: quite quite the celebration. There quite the celebration. Two weeks
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: of competition, one hundred and sixteen sets of medals were
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: given out across sixteen different sports at the Olympics. The
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: France is next in line for the Winter Olympics in
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: twenty thirty. The Winter Games in the French Alps will
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: be taking place there. La will host the Summer Games
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: coming up in twenty twenty eight, So you got that
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to look forward to so with the men's hockey medal
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: team USA. Their final medal count. They got thirty three
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: overall medals, But do we really count the bronze? Why
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: did they even do? Why do they still give out
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the bronze? This says? Is that not the dumbest thing
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I've never met heared anyone say that's a good thing.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: The bronze medals dumb, The silver medals stupid two. USA
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: got twelve gold medals. That's really all that matters, right.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: The thirty two is wonderful, but the thirty three. But
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: twelve gold medals, that's what should be all around. Norway
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: had an Olympic high eighteen gold medals, and they led
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: overall with forty one. If you're into that kind, I
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: think forty one medals, but the gold is really all
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that metal. We don't celebrate second place in any other sport?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Is there any of the other than the college back? Well,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: we get the final four, right, I should say college basketball.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: They celebrate the final four in this case. Come on,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: so question, how much did you enjoy the Winter Olympics
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: The twenty twenty six Milan Cortina Winter Olympic Games. On
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the Malord scale of enjoyment one to ten, with ten
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: being oh my god, I'm gonna missed this so much.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, got it, got this, I need more
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: of this. I'm at a five, meaning I can take
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: it or leave it. I'm at a five. This is
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: not rebuy sports and it's all it's like plant based pageantries.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It's beyond meat for vegan sports fans. The Olympics, and
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: I'm more into the whole meat and potatoes thing. That's
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: more my jam than this kind of stuff here, football, baseball, basketball,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: those kind of things. The Winter Olympics. I look at it.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I try to explain this to my wife. This is
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: like it's like peas and carrots, you know, steamed up
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and all that, and some people love peas and carrots.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Seem very nicely. My presentation was great. Thought NBC did
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a pretty good job. There were some people in there
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that annoyed me, but for the most part, I thought
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: they did a good job. And it something that looks
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: good on the plate. You look at you, that's pretty good,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you know. If you're into that kind of thing, you're like,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: it's great. I liked, but it's not my stake. I
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: need I need my I need where's the beef. We've
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: got the meats. Well, they didn't have the meats. So
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: it's sports. You know, it's sports for non sports fans. Hey,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I was watching. I watch a lot of it. My
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: wife generally does not want to watch a football game
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: or basketball. I watched that stuff all myself. She's not
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: into that. Doesn't have the sports gene, wasn't born with it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I have it. I got too much of it. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: do this stupid show every night and a dumb podcast
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: on the week. I'm very into it. Uh So as
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: shins fids like, it's it's sports for people that don't
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: like sports. Like I said, it's like it's beyond meat
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: for people that don't like meat but want to pretend
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: like they're eating meat, which is always amazing to me.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: And so watching my wife break down the Nordic combined
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: like she's mel kiper, I was like, wow, you're really
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: into this. I'm like, that is that is great? You
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: know I can sit there and watch alpine skiing. And
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed the bob slid luge. I think those are
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: kind of cool. Fine curling, you know, just brooming ice.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Watch that. Watched a bunch of that. This week and
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: was I locked in. I was playing on my phone
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and I'd look up to see when they got down
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: to the finish and all that stuff, and said, so
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: it's like a two week sports pop up shop. The
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Olympics get the flags over here, you get the dramatic
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: violin music, you got Snoop Dog. How much did Martha
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Stewart get? Bait? I know Snoop's getting like five hundred
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars a day? Did Martha get the same deal?
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: He did? Mark Snoop drag Martha Stewart out there to
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: drive around Italy. What a great gig, guys. All right,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: so let's go.

• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and eat these expensive meals and get paid five hundred
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars a day, and they'll put it on TV. Okay,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: sounds terrible. Sounds absolutely terrible. So there you go. It's
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: all over. Now, it's all done. Now we go back
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: to ignoring all of these sports except hockey only when
• 16:25

• 17:11
  Speaker 1: A light card by design. By design, as they spread
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: out the NBA schedule, you don't want too many games
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: on a random Monday night, So we didn't get that
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: we had a light card in the NBA. One of
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the games that was highlighted by n B Showcase game,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: you had the Spurs and the Pistons who met in
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the NBA Finals many many years ago before we were
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: all alive, and that was a dud oh Man. That
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: was a dud of an NBA Finals, but nonetheless the
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: current vintage of these two teams. You've got two teams
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: on the come. As they say, Victor Wemba Nyama got
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the best of this matchup there, twenty one point seventeen
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: rebounds and six assists in Antony ends up winning comfortably.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Kid Cunningham, who we're going to talk about here, he
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: struggled in this game. He got sixteen points on twenty
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: six shots. That's Alan Iverson like from back in his day.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: There just five of twenty six for Kid Cuttingham in
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the loss. However, despite that, popular opinion by popular people
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: has Caid Cuttingham, where do you know where he is?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: At the very top of MVP mountain? Say, why are
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you kidding me? Holy Joe Dumar's batman, what are you
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: talking about? That's like Rasheed Wallace. Craziness is what that is. Well, yeah,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: he's supposedly right there, neck and neck as we go
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: down on the stretch. In the NBA regular season, the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: NBA has a sixty five game rule, very controversial to
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the writers that lick the toes of the players. They're
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: very upset by that. Not fair all right, you actually
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: up the show play they can play. So the rule
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: is introduced not that long ago because the players in
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the NBA don't like actually playing. It's a problem, and
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the integrity of the awards on the line, and so
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: you put all this together, they put this rule in
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: and so this is the season where things are getting
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: really really crazy in many ways. So the MVP race
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: under the guidelines, as we mentioned, player must appear in
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: sixty five games to qualify for the honors, and they
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: have about a quarter of the NBA season to go,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: about a quarter remaining in the NBA, and several of
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the front runners are dropping like a trash over garbage
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and they're just falling down, and a couple others are
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: walking a tight rope to be eligible. And so by default,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Cade Cunningham is looking more and more, or if you
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: look at the prediction market and the gambling market and
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, looking more and more like the MVP
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: this season in the NBA. He's played forty nine now,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I guess fifty fifty of fifty six games now, and
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: he's only missed six games, Kid Cunningham, So that gives him,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: if my math is correct, eleven game cushion. He's got
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: an eleven game cushion before this becomes an issue, so
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: he's got a lot of leeway. Whereas players like Sga, Lukeka,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Wemby and the Joker do not do not have the cushion.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: They don't have the cushion there. They are missing the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: bare necessities, if you will, all right, so good jumping
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: off point. Let us discuss the question do you have
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: a problem or would you have a problem with Piston
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Star Kaid Cunningham sneaking away with an MVP award just
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: because he happened to play the required number of games,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: unlike these others who doesn't look clow be able to
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: even get to sixty five games. So just by staying healthy,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: you can win the MVP award. So I've got day
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: SPA my thoughts here, day Spa, Kentucky Derby, and DNA embedded,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together. We're
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: gonna make biscuits and gravy, is what We're gonna make,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: delicious biscuits and gravy. So to begin here, though, A,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I have no problem, zero problem with this. If Kate
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: cutting him tiptoes through the tulips and ends up going
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: past the velvet ropes and takes home the MVP title
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: because SGA, Luca Wemby, the Alien Guy, the Parisian Prodigy Guy,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and the Joker were busy flirting with the attendance office,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: so be it. I'm fine. Good for him. Availability is valuable.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: And it's not like Kate Cunningham stings. He's had good
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: He's had very good season. Pistons have been they were
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the top team. I don't know if I have that lost
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: to the Spurs. They're still the top team, but they
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: they have been one of the top teams in the
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: NBA most of the year. So you have a player
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: who's their top player and he happens to be in
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: position to win the MVP. It's not outrageous, right, And
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: he has been dependable the others playing buck Chicken with
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: the calendar, Buck Chicken with the calendar. Yeah, they are
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: like the way I look at it. You know, I'm
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: someone to prize myself in showing up the work and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: being here. And I think part of this job is
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: that it becomes part of the routine. Right, If you
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: listen to something, you want to hear that person there,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and if they're not there, then you'll find something else
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: to do. And I think it's a big part of it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: And I also think if you're on a team and
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: you've got people depending on you, you kind of not
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: you kind of need to be there, that kind of
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: you need to be there. It's a big deal. And
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: so if you're you're absent, if you can't reach sixty
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: five games out of eighty two, you're not getting robbed
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: out of you're absent. And I would say even at
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: sixty five games, if my math is correct, you're still missing.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: You're missing twenty percent, about twenty percent of the schedule,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the grind. So do your job. And when the league
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: installed the sixty five game threshold, it wasn't performance art,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: it wasn't it was like, listen, we've got a problem here.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: This was a direct response to load management theater, load
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: management theater, which is going on here starring the biggest
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: names in the association. They're all doing it. You know,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: they're all doing cosplay as Street Close Anthony Davis. They're like, hey,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I like that Street Close guy, Anthony Davis. Let's be
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: more like him. Let's miss a bunch of games. So
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: if you want the envy, PI it's not that hard,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: will be the adults. You show up and you play,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: You punch the clock, you lace them up. You play
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the games against the Wizards when no one's there. You
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: play the games against sacrament when nobody wants to see
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: that game because it's Sacramento. You show up to those games,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: right And if Kate cutting him ends up cashing in
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: because he stayed vertical while the others were in a
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: lazy boy chair, then so be it. The NVP award
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: in the NBA should not stand for a most vacation Player.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: And if you give it to someone who plays less
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: than sixty five games, you're giving someone who did not
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: do their jobs. So why would you reward them? But
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: I do know we live in the age where you
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: do reward this kind of thing. There's a lot of
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: soft people that like this. They may want players to
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: miss more games. And I always chuckle because those people
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: are called losers. All right. Now, page to the Bay
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Area we go, and I was seeing the fallout of
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: a trade at the deadline. Here the Golden State Warriors.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: They wanted Yannis ident Tokoombo wanted the Greek freak. They
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: couldn't get the Greek free. Where's the We couldn't get him,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: where's the great break? Couldn't get him, so they had
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: to settle for their backup plan. You might remember Christops Porzingis,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and already alarm bells have been sounded just like that. Porzingis.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: He missed Golden State's last game and he is expected
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: to miss the next two games because of an illness.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: And the word is Porzingis. When he was with the Celtics,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: he was diagnosed with pots. Look it up, not pot,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: but pots. It's an illness and it's affected him. Going
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: back a couple of years to at least of the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: playoffs in twenty twenty four with Boston. In this season,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the unicorn has appeared in not one, not two, not three,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: not four. How about eighteen games? That's it. Eighteen games,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Not much, not much. So the question will the Warriors
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: be haunted by the Christops Porzingis trade, as there are
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: some reports out saying that is the case. The war
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: is already afraid that they have made a terrible mistake
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: in acquiring Porzingis. So to answer the question, I am
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: nodding my head. Yes, I'm nodding my head, yes that
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: this is bad. Mojo for the Golden State Warriors. Here
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the Warriors who are already and we're a couple of
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: weeks into this, they're already sleeping with the lights on
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: because of the Porzingis trade, Like, what have we done
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the Boogeyman. We've acquired the Boogeyman. Bad job by us.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: You can hear the floorboards creaking at the Chase Center
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: there in downtown San Francisco. Right buyer's remorse. Oh yeah, absolutely,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: a case of buyer's remarse here and it's alive and well.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: By the bay. They traded away Jonathan Kuminga, who is
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: not Kaminga is not like the greatest thing in the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: world or anything like that. However, that was their last
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: shiny ascid. That was their last piece of the pie.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: That they could get something somebody that wasn't washed up
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: in a million years old who can't play anymore like
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Draymond Green. They could have gotten something of value for
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Kumingo who was in Steve Kurz doghouse, and they got
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: an expiring contract in bubble wrap is what they got.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: That's that's what they got from Atlanta. Porzingis is a
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: seven footer. He should wear that costume with the question
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: marks on it from Batman right, the Joker and all
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: this because it's it's instate, you know, or the Riddler. Rather,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: it's it's not a corner stone. He's not a cornerstone guy.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: And they knew going in he wasn't gonna be a
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: cornerstone player, but they were hoping he would not be
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: just another Jenga piece. And that's that's where he's at
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: at this particular point. It's kind of like the Warriors
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: went to the auction, the thoroughbred auction. They bought a
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: thoroughbred at the auction, and they were all excited about
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: They started texting everybody they knew. He said, oh man,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: we're going owned to the Kentucky Derby. We just went
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: to the horse auction. We just got a throw bread.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Oh you did right. They left out the part that
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the horse they bought was on discount because it had
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: three legs. It was missing a leg. So good luck
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: with that, pal, good luck. I'm sure you'll do very
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: well in Churchill downs here. And also, I don't want
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: to hear the well when healthy speech. I've heard enough
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: of that. I don't need to hear that one more
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: time when healthy, If only you stay healthy. This just
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: into Fox Sports Radio. Injury prone players get injured video
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: and eleven injury prone players get injured. Shocking, a shocking
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: revelation here, So come on and Porzingis, Now, it's not
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: all bad. He does have a seat, granted it's a
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: booster seat. Porzingis Christops Worzingis at the kiddy table with
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: street clothes, Anthony Davis, Joellenbi Ben Simmons, who's I think
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: he's fishing? Now he's not even in the NBA and
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard and Paul George isn't even invited and he
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: should be invited. But Paul George, he's not invited. So
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: it's feast or famine, mostly famine, mostly famin at this
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: particular restaurant. And it's a bridge to nowhere. This Jonathan
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: kaminga trade other than salary cap relief. I don't know
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: anyone that gets excited about salary cap relief. And if
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: you do, you might want to question your decision making
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: if you're like that. So one minute, the Warriors are
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: hanging championships. It's the dynasty by the bay Alam to
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: lose all excited, right, Oh man, this is the greatest
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: thing in the world, and now inch by inch, the
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Warriors are going backwards, back to a time when a
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Donald Foyle was the star, right, and where have you gone?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Baron Davis and those monte Ellis and those guys bring
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: back Mike Montgomery as the coach that era of the
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors. There and good luck the fog rolling
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: in on what had been a great run of the
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors, and everyone's like, what is it? What
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: is going on? What have they done? My god? They
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: might want to contact Joe the ghost Hunter, who will
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: try to push back on the ghosts there that have
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: already moved in to the Warriors' offices.
