  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the right time. A wave original.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: My name is Beaumont Jones. Thanks for listening wherever you
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: get your podcast. Thanks for watching us on YouTube. Subscribe, like,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: rate us, review us, give us five stars. You only
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: give us four stars. I'm inclined to believe you are
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a hater. I got some kind of sort of combine thoughts.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I usually don't do that. But, you know, you got
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to meet people where they at. You know what I'm saying?
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Got some of that, you know, weirdo stories at the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: end of the show. But I got to tell you something.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And I talk about this just about every year. I
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: don't have much of a problem admitting this, that we
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: get so overrun by football from September to February that
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I dip my toe into the NBA before football season's over,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and then now is the time to really, really, really
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: get in there. Every now and then, you get to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: watching the game, and Ryan, I don't know if this
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: happens to you, but More and more because I don't
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: follow college basketball.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Like I used to.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Boy, you can sneak a motherfucker.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: In there I ain't never heard of real smooth. Minnesota
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: got some African dude that's new, but he seems to
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: be very good. Yeah.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Like this is that time of year, especially if you
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: like used to play for a handful of teams. For example,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that Gafford dude that the Mavericks got that year they
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: went to the finals. I had never heard of him
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and I could not understand how that was possible. And
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: then they told me that he played for the Wizards.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: That'll do it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Witness protection.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Especially this year when, like, it's almost two-thirds of the league.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Who are just, you know, not trying.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of teams that I
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: don't need to check.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Like, Sacramento, that's also witness protection, where you can go
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: over there, except for that one year, right? You go
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: over to Sacramento, like, I get to play in the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Immaculate Grid, man. I don't know what to do. They
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: fuck around and put Sacramento in.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Orlando, and it's like, damn.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: This could be who I got to like really start
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: working my way through some old three way trades. But anyway,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: now's the time to like really get this going with
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the NBA. Like you see more of the Knicks because
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: we live here and stuff like that. And I also
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: watched the Knicks play against the Spurs.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: They put the hurt on.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I was a little surprised. Now, granted, I do think
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the Knicks and the Lakers both have this one. And
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I guess the Clippers, too.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: But they mess around to play a team in that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: early Sunday slot or whatever early is for local.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Y'all should win.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: People had fun.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: It's the Spurs one time pulling up. If y'all get
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to play them on Sunday, y'all should win, right?
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: But no, good.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, Carl Towns played well. It was a strong game.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: But I also watched three other games this weekend. I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: watched Detroit-Cleveland. I watched Oklahoma City and the Nuggets. And
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: then I watched the Nuggets again against Minnesota. Nuggets, not
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a great weekend. I feel like they need to be
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: glad that Mike Malone is doing TV and not being
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the coach because I bet he would be miserable to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: be around after the weekend that they had. But I
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: mentioned those games because those games were good, right? And
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: they were good for, I'd say, an interesting range of reasons.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Detroit and Cleveland was the sort of game that I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: ordinarily would have wanted to watch and then found out
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that Donovan Mitchell was not playing. I think James Harden
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: was also out of that game. I would find out
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that those two guys were not playing in that game,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and then I would not watch that game anymore, right?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Like, Ryan, I feel like it was a good game,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: but I don't know if the way I'm putting this
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: is going to make this seem, but You know, the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Pistons didn't quite bring it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: As they should have.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And that's, that's, that's, that's, there we go. Okay. But
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: at the same time, that was Jared Allen, Evan Mobley. Okay.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Those are NBA players. Dennis Schroeder, Sam Merrill, and Jalen Tyson.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: And a dude named Naquan was the first man off
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the bench. A series of gentlemen that I'm not very
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: familiar with came off the bench.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: And it was a game.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Like it was an intense like I mean, look, Detroit,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: they're back.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: The city is clearly back into it. I realize this,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: especially since it's been a while since they moved out
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the palace. But I had had a whole lot of
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: watch the Pistons since they left the palace situations.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: It still feels weird when I watch a game there.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: It's been a long 15 years.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it has been. It has been like last year.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: You know, we got in and checked out a little bit.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: But honestly, it was a really, really good game, even
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: with Cunningham filing out late and everything else. I know
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Jared Allen also filed out on that one. But it
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: was an intense, really hard play game, followed by Oklahoma
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: City and Denver. And that one was serious, right? Everybody
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: was there for right. Two best players in the NBA
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: playing in that game, right? Chet's back playing in that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: That game went hard.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Lou Dort. Lou Dort.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Had a moment in that game that seems to happen
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: somewhat often with these cats in the NBA where somehow
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: they forget that Jokic is real big.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Big and scary and intense.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: He's... You know what Jokic got? Jokic got a lot
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of I ain't no sucky in him, right?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Because he's just kind of a, hey, just run up
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and down the floor, play basketball, be excellent, right?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: But every now and then he needs to remind you that, like,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: y'all want these problems.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Lou Dort, you know, like what.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: The thing Lou Dort did wasn't like the biggest cheap
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: shot we've ever seen, right? But once Jokic ran up
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: on him, I mean, for you to be Lou Dort, baby,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you can't, you gotta be full troll. Or if you're
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: going to play the way he plays, you got to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: be ready to fight too. Right.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Like you got a full Patrick Beverly.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: You got to be at his size. You got to
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: be a defenseman, right?
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Big football playing Joker. Like that's what it's got to be.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Jokic ran up on him and he was like, Ooh,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I properly do the math on this situation. Um, then
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: we had this, uh, Minnesota Denver game, which, uh, I'd
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: say it wasn't a great game in terms.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Of the margin.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Jokic played a really good game. Not enough dudes showed up.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: But Minnesota, dude, Anthony Edwards, the legend killer. I don't
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: know what Minnesota is going to do in the playoffs.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I would not want to play Minnesota in the playoffs
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: because I've watched the playoffs for the last two years, right? Like,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Minnesota is such a weird team in the sense that
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: they have been to the Western Conference Finals two years
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: in a row, and not a single one of us
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: is looking at them like, don't you think it's time
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to take the next step? which is typically how we
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: view it if you're making it to the Western Conference
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Finals two years in a row. That is, I guess,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a byproduct of this era of parody. Me and Goff
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: talked about this last week. I grew up with Dynasty Sagas.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I kind of prefer Dynasty Sagas. But we do have,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: we got a Western Conference where I don't know if
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: there are six teams that can win. In fact, I
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: know there are not six teams that can win the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: West because Houston cannot. But there are, I'd say five
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: teams that I think could make it to the conference finals,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and I'm again removing Houston from this, and it's the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: structural point guard issue. I just don't think that that
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: roster could pull that off.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Do you count the Lakers in those five?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Hell no.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, who were the five?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, so I mean four. Sorry, got my count wrong.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: And I know that I got my count wrong by
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you being like, wait a minute, are you talking about
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the Lakers?
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: No, I am talking about Minnesota, Denver, San Antonio, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Right, I forgot it. Houston is the five.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: In that one yeah I can see any of those
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: four going right and we just we just talked about
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: games but you know basically.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Just you know with three of.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Them here's why I bring up those games and why
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about this off the top Ryan
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I'm curious what you think about this.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I talked about last week.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I think on this Monday show was just the idea
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: that the NBA regular season I don't know what it
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: takes I don't know what has to happen in the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: regular season the NBA to break through to like really matter.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: The Spurs were just on a 12 game winning streak.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: And I knew that because you told me. Right.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I did not realize that. And of course they are
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: no longer on a 12 game winning streak, but that
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: should be the big, there's nothing else going on.
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Right. Like Victor went by Yama is living up to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the hype and expectation that was there.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: They are two games out of first. in the West.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I do think it's going to matter. Those seedings are actually.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Going to matter. With the tiebreaker against Oklahoma City already.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Right, right.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: If this were baseball back in the days, we'd call
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: it a pennant race. We have a very interesting race
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: in the West, and we saw it bear out, like, say,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: in the way that some of these games look.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Like, Minnesota came in. They were playing to win that game.
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Like, Denver was.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Nobody was just out here like, oh, one of 82.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: They was out there to win that game, that Detroit-Cleveland
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: game on Friday night. They was out to win that one.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: We have a very interesting thing going on in the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: East where... And I think it's kind of similar in
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the West. I would pick San Antonio to win the West,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: except the small problem is they've never won anything. This
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: particular people, group of people in San Antonio, just to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: be clear, they've never won anything.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: The same thing with Detroit.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: The only reason to not pick them is that they
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: have not done this before. And by this, we mean
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: win a series in the first round. Or in the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: case of San Antonio, go. Like, actually play in the playoffs, right?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Even with losing to the Knicks. Dude, the no-fly zone
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: that happens. I mean, I watched Victor guard the ball,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the pass, and the weak side on the same, like,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: right at the same time.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, like, it doesn't even seem real. It looks like
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: he's playing against three-year-olds. Right, like, all right, everybody against Ed, right?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Like it doesn't even seem possible.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: But I talked about the regular season and the idea
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: of the regular season doesn't matter or is treated like
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I think it's very important for me
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to make a distinction because it's easy to lose sight
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of this, particularly when talking about the NBA, because people
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: have a predisposition to think about the worst.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: The regular season seems to clearly matter to those guys.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Now, There are some teams that have clearly mailed it
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: in on this season. And I have a problem with
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the fact that they have mailed it in on the season.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And a big part of why I have a problem
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: with the fact that they mailed it in on the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: season is that they still charge people money for the tickets.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Like, you're still a chunk of the cable bill. You're
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: selling us this.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Being a fan of basketball is not just simply about
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the positioning of your team for down the line and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: championship and everything else. No, I want to enjoy some games, right?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Like these games are right here. There are teams that
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: have absolutely given up on that, and I have a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: giant problem with it, okay? But there are also situations
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: where we got a problem with the load management and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: everything else, and this has been sold as a superstar league,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: but I watched that Cleveland team without their two best players,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and it was a game. It was a game worth watching.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: It was an entertaining game. We got a lot of
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: teams left with a lot to play for, and if
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: we're being perfectly honest, them teams that are not giving
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: it their all, you wasn't watching them anyway.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Like, it is an affront.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: To the local fans for what they're doing, but if
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you're talking about it as a, like, over here, like
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a 3,000-foot view, whatever that phrase is, looking down on
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the league, you wouldn't go watch them anyway. But the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: teams that you're going to watch, oh, there's so much
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: to watch right now, right? I think I lost track
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: of my thought earlier, but I didn't even get to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: bring it up. The fact that Jason Tatum apparently is
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: going to try to come back and play.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, in the next two weeks.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, right?
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can only assume that.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: is medically cleared, right?
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it has to be.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't, I can't.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: By his doctors and the team's.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: It's the only way, I can't assume that anybody, like, look,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, Derrick Rose would not have been playing
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: this season, right? You understand what I'm saying? Like, like,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and by the way, wouldn't be hearing nothing from me
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Also, the Bulls would have been leaking. You know, he
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: actually could have played two and a half months ago.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: you know, if that would have come down. But do
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: you realize how crazy that is? Like, first of all,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the fact that the Celtics have been as good as
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: they have been, that Jalen Brown, who could not dribble
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: with his left hand not too long ago.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Is in the top five of MVP conversations.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, he has an argument for being the MVP.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: If you wanted to make it, right? Hey, man, it matters.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: These cats are out.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Here, right?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of discussion about that 65 game rule.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: And I, look, If you don't play 65 games, history
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: has said you're not the MVP.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: It was the Bill Walton. It was the year Bill
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Walton got hurt.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: That's basically the only one out of a full 82-game season.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I think there's been like one more or something like that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: But typically, that was always a disqualifying factor. The reason
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: they put that rule in was not about the MVP.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: They put that rule in so that cats who were
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: trying to make All-NBA and thereby maybe get their Supermax
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: on would not be out here mailing in games.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: That's what they were going for. But the MVP.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: This has always been a self-regulating sort of situation. And
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the guys that are playing games, Cade Cunningham playing those games,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown playing those games. Those are the guys that
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I think we should be talking about for MVP. If
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Shea Gilders Alexander gets up around that total of games,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: then yeah, we'll talk about it. Jokic missed how much time?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: You don't win the MVP when you do that.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: You just don't. That has nothing to do with- There's.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Only one person who can win it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Only one person who can be the best.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: That's correct.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: By the way, that has nothing to do with what
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I was just talking about. But I did realize I
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: wanted to talk about that and make that point. So
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the point's been made. The point that I'm here to
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: make is the regular season of basketball.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Can matter as much as we want it to matter.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Because there is basketball that matters that's on right now.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: And guess what?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: We got another like monthly change of the regular season.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: This is about to be a run to the end.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: In the West, who you wind up playing is so important.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I think everybody would like to get themselves positioned against Houston.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: They're teams that don't want to play each other. The
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: teams are close enough such that the idea of having
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: home court is something. Minnesota beat them under these circumstances
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: two years ago, but I personally would not want to
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: play a game seven in Denver. If Oklahoma City were
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: not playing Denver game seven in their house, do they
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: win that one last year?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I don't think they do.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: With Aaron Gordon hopping around on one leg.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Right, and that still is the thing with Denver, right?
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: As if Aaron Gordon winds up coming back. But San Antonio,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: with a team that young, where they play these games,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: all of this stuff is going to matter. It's about
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to be on fire to the finish. The Knicks, because
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: all the pressure around them still remains.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: And they're a soap opera over there, Ryan.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I don't think people quite pick up on the fact
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: that the guys don't seem to like the coach that much.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: They fired the coach that got them to the conference finals,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: which means going to the NBA finals is kind of
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: sort of the expectation. We got three really interesting teams.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: In the East.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: We've got four really interesting teams in the West. It's
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: a thing going on.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Guys, it is.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: And I will be very curious to see if all
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of us around this are going to treat this like
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: it's a thing. Because this could be a whole hell
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: of a lot of fun before the season's over. And
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: then after that, we get two months of playoff basketball
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: where this conference, the conference semifinals this year are going
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to feel like, my buddy Nick always makes the point
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: that the best weekend of the season.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: In the NFL, and he's right, is the division round.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: That is the best one.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: That is what the conference semifinals are going to feel
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: like this year. Like we're going to have two games
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: a night of great basketball. I cannot wait. Let us
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: get our minds in that.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: We pass All-Star.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: We pass that little, you know, withdrawal time we have
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: from after football. So nothing's good enough for us. So
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: we just shit on the league. Now we take a
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: week and you look around and be like, oh, no, baby,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: it is popping. And after all that, Ryan, we're just
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: going to talk about hypothetical football.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: It's the combine.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: It's March. Yeah, it's the combine. Do you think Mark
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Sanchez came to the combine?
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: I think he is. going to be avoiding Indianapolis and
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: all of it.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, he can only avoid it, but so much,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he got some court dates.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think he's going to be just in that courtroom.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: How crazy would it be?
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: If Mark Sanchez had a court date during the combine
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and he's just like on his flight or at the
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: airport or waiting that baggage claim. And everybody's like, Oh,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: surprised to see you here. You got a court date
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: or something.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: And he's like, yeah, I do actually. I, it's funny
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: you mentioned that.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Cause I'm, I think some other information about this dropped.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: It turns out Mark Sanchez, and this isn't exactly news,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: accusing Sanchez of being under the influence of cocaine, fentanyl, marijuana,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: and alcohol under the time of the altercation.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: However, not included on the list, not even in others
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: receiving votes, was that dust.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I was still positive. Yo, let me tell you that.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Once you just ran off that list of things that
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: they say Mark Sanchez was on, and it made him
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: act like he was on that dust, that is one
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: hell of a commercial for that dust.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: You take.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: I think it's the exact... I think it's a bit
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: of a warning label for that dust.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Also, two things could be true at one time.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: But....
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: He had, like, a Long Island iced tea of dope.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Just everything you got, just throw it in and shake
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: it up.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: You're not supposed to hit Yahtzee with vices.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He shook it all up. He put
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: a little bit of coke on top. And there you go. Like,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: that was... Man, man. He's going to... He's got to
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: go to jail for that. Okay, sorry. That wasn't what
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: we were talking about. The combine....
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think nothing greedier than the NFL turning the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: combine into like a thing that people watch on TV.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Like I do believe that once.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: You really start like, okay, you get a clip of
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: somebody doing a vert or running to 40 or whatever
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Okay. That's fine.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: But you'd be like watching, you know, you're working the biz.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: You just sit up there and you watching. I mean,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: that's a little weird.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. That's a little... You know how
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: it is. It's weird. It's illegal for you to be
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: at the playground if you ain't got no kids.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: This isn't exactly that obviously, but it ain't exactly not that. Right.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: But anyway, one of the interesting elements of the combine
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: is everybody be up there.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Like I can only be convinced.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: You just compared a NFL super NFL fans, sex offenders.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: No, I compared them to the people who sit by
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the playground. Right. who are not necessarily sex offenders, but
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: acknowledged to be weirdos.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Fair enough.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: There we go. So anyway, the combine.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Which I'm convinced, your greatest testament that the league is
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: full of dudes who just don't feel like hanging out
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: with their wives.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Like, the season- Let's all go to Indianapolis at the
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: end of February.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: The season just ended.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Like, it's not like, it's not like it's been all
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: summer long or something like that.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: The Super Bowl was three weeks ago.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: They were all there, too.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were all there.
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: We just had a big industry party for a week.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: In a much better location.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: And so now it's been three weeks. We haven't been
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: able to work for 50 hours a week. Let's all
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: go to St. Elmo's in Indianapolis.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: But you know what I think part of it is, though?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I do think that part of it is that for
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the combine, the tier two people, the.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: People that do not get the Super Bowl plug, this
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: is their party.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: This is their VIP event.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: This is Old Navy Super Bowl.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Got it.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Of the Super Bowl hierarchy, right? But anyway, they're there.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Seeing a lot of men's warehouse at these events.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: There we go, right?
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: And that's where everybody gets together and they get to
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: talking and the groundwork for the personnel moves down the
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: line start happening.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: And Ryan sent me something.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: And granted, it's from an aggregator account, but it's still worthwhile.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: And it makes this point. I'm going to read it.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: What is it? Ari Murlov, if that's a person. I
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: have no idea. Anyway, this was where.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: There is a potential scenario this offseason where up to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: five veteran quarterbacks with guaranteed money already in 2026 could
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: be released, and as a result, their next contract with
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the new team could be for the minimum. Tua Tungavailoa,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: $ 54 million guaranteed. Kyler Murray, $ 36. 8 million guaranteed. Geno Smith,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: $ 18. 5 million guaranteed. Kirk Cousins, $ 10 million guaranteed. Justin Fields,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: $ 10 million guaranteed.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, I have two thoughts on this.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Number one, Um, apparently nobody in the NFL has ever
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: heard the song is cheaper to keep. Now, you know,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I know Tua would be offended if he heard that
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I was calling him a her, but it's a metaphor,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: young man.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: The whole point of these guarantees and the way they
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: do this is we go.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Work this out.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Like like there's some security in the idea.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: This didn't work. OK.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Well, look, we go. We go. We kind of stuck
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: with each other. We don't have to work this out.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: We can't afford to quit this. We don't work this out.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I don't care what we've been saying about to it
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: and everything else. We are paying him 54. We already
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: got we already got quarterback in the refrigerator. We're not
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: going out to eat when we got food and food
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: that's been paid off. Not a little bit, by the way, right? Like,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: we have steak at the house. There is a porterhouse
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: that I have taken out of the freezer. Like, that's
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: your quarterback, right?
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Doesn't look like it.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, okay. That's all I got. You're not really
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: trying to win. You can't be. You got $ 54 million
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: cap hole. Okay.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I think Tua's combined dead money cap number is $ 99 million.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, man. What are we talking
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: about here?
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: If you see a quarterback worth drafting, go ahead and
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: do it. But your options are, and you tell me
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: if I'm wrong here, Tua Tagovailoa, Malik Willis, or another
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: quarterback whose previous team felt the same way about them
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: as you feel about The one that you about to
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: get rid of.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man. That sounds like Tua to me.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: It could be, right?
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, $ 37 million guaranteed. I'm just going to throw
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: this out here, okay? I've looked at the stats. When
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: did Kyler Murray become terrible? Because I don't really see that.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: He's had a few very good years.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: He tore the ACL a few years ago.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: And last year, he just had this mysterious mystery injury. Yes.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: And they decided they didn't want to play him anymore.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: That I.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Look, man.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: We have seen evidence of this. And lots of us
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: have been told this. His soft skills are poor. Clearly
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: what I mean by that, for those don't understand, is
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: people don't like him. OK, he comported himself in such
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: a way that the team felt like they had to
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: put a video game clause in his contract, basically. OK,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I still think the team was wrong for that. And
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: they set themselves up for unnecessary scrutiny because ultimately you
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: were still going to sign them. So it didn't really matter.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: But the truth is, it did happen. And they didn't
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: just pull that out of the air. And his side
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: didn't feel like they could get it out of the deal.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Okay. He does not play well with others.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: But I'm looking at him on a list with like
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, who got one leg and is 38, nine
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: years old.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: And is just as likely to be in a booth
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: next year.
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Which it looks like he'll be pretty good at.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Better than he is at QBing.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And Justin Fields.
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: And, you know.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: We all thought it would go different.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: It just hasn't.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: It did not.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: They're going to go there.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Geno Smith, I don't really know what to do with
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: because he was on a terrible team and just felt
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: like it was YOLO time, whatever. Any little blip I
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: saw of him on the Red Zone channel, it was
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: him just saying, fuck it.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: The combo of.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Pete Carroll, Chip Kelly, and Pete Carroll's son as the
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: offensive line coach.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Seem to have really broken.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was bad news, but I'll be, I'm looking,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: but all of this combined, all these guys we're looking
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: at to me, Kyler Murray is like a different player
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: than any of these guys that we talked about here.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Like if you're Minnesota and the Steelers, in fact, that's
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: what they need to do up there.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: And it's sausage party now, an inappropriate term, I think
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: you get one. Okay, so last week's sausage party was
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: my limit on.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: I would say the one 30 seconds ago was your one.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. I didn't know I had already done it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: Anyway.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: We're all friends here.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you haven't been to a sausage party,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the kind of thing you'd never know when an impromptu
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: wrestling match might break out, right? Just like two dudes
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: who decide, hey, it's just a bunch of dudes around here.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Who wants to wrestle, right? You know, like in a
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: dorm or something like that. You know what I mean?
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Is that a two-America situation or a one-America situation?
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: I think it's a one American situation. Like, I don't
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: mean in this case, I don't mean like it's a
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: sausage party. Like, um, you get there and the ladies
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: ain't showed up yet.
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to be ladies free before 11, but apparently
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: nobody told him.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: And then you just look around us, but you know,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: the ratio was all off. I don't mean that kind.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, this more like it's a bunch of dudes
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: in a dorm or at a sleepaway camp. or something
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Or Vegas for the first weekend of the NCAA tournament.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: And so invariably some roughhousing comes up when you have
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: this sort of thing happen. Anyway, I bring that up
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: to say, I don't know who the new general manager
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: is in Minnesota, but whoever it is, shouldn't him and
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Omar Khan have to like wrestle at some bar in
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the winter against Kyler Murray?
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: That would be more interesting to watch than the actual combine.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, I mean, let's be clear. I'd watch that.
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: GM fights? Yeah, for sure.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: If you're telling me that you just watched the combine
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: in case a GM fight breaks out, hey, okay, I
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: see you. But no, if you're one of these teams
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: that needs a quarterback, that would be, and you're telling
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: me he's available? Like, I would get an Arizona. Like,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: what are you going to do? Are they going to
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: bring Brissette back again?
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, Brissette, drafting someone, they seem to be potentially-
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Who are they.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Going to draft? Well, I don't even know if we
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: got one quarterback in this draft.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: This is my favorite part of the combine, too, is
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: people convincing themselves they like mediocre quarterbacks. Oh, yeah. We're there.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: He did a great job throwing it against the ghost man.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Like, he ain't seen the ghost man. The ghost man
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: had his.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Hand right there, and he just dropped it right over
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the ghost man, and he made the catch. No, like,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just, I mean, I'm looking at every scenario here,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: and it blows my mind that we're talking about Kyler Murray. Like,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: he has been put in the maybe he could have
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: a Sam Darnold-like resurrection. Kyler Murray should come find you,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: stand on a phone book, and slap you in the
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: face for saying that.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Like, there's never... He's in a completely... He has never
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: been where Sam Darnold was.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: No, not even close.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Not even close.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: But I feel like that's the way we talk about him.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: The talent is still there.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: He's 28.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: He'll only be like Speedy Gonzalez fast, a roadrunner, but
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: for so long. We recognize that.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: And, of course, there's the size part. I'm not saying
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: there are no negatives here.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: And from Minnesota, I understand the real issue is y'all
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: got to have at least one quarterback somebody likes.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Like, can you imagine what it would be like to
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: be Kevin O'Connell, who clearly can't stand J.J.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: McCartney?
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: He's clearly not the only one right but then you
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: also give him Kyler Murray well.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: If you're the quarterback whisper whisper you know.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah I mean figure it out let me ask you this.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Well that's more rhetorical but for anybody I would assume
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: right now that people think that Sam Darnold is a
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: better quarterback than Kyler Murray. By how much and why exactly?
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, two years ago, you wouldn't.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Have dreamed of saying that.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I just don't see this Kyler Murray has fallen off
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: completely thing.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Would you rather have Kyler Murray or Baker Mayfield?
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Ooh, that is interesting. Because they're both.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: They're both starting quarterbacks.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Would you rather have Kyler Murray or Bryce Young?
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Kyler Murray, not even close.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Would you rather have Kyler Murray or Jalen Hurts?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I would rather have Kyler Murray.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: Would you rather have Kyler Murray or Brock Purdy?
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Ooh.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I would rather have Kyler Murray, comma, but I can't
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: confidently say he's better than Brock Purdy. And that's because
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: this Brock, even if I can acknowledge he's better than
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I ever thought he would be, that'll be an outlaw.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Would you rather have Kyler Murray or Bo Nix?
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Kyler Murray. You know what?
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I think the way to play this game is where
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: it gets fun is if we, if we plugged Kyler
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Murray into some of those situations that we're talking about,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: for example, if Kyler Murray were the quarterback of the
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, how much different.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Do you think the results would be?
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: If Kyler Murray were the quarterback of the Denver Broncos,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: how much different would the results be?
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: I think if Kyler Murray were the quarterback of the
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles, we'd have a happy A.J.
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: Brown.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Brother, I think that you and I have been working
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: together a little too long because I was about.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: To say the exact.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, no, no, no.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that you had and I was
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: going to say the exact same thing.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: I bet you A.J.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Brown wishes Kyler was the quarterback of the Eagles. Yeah,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: I bet he badly wishes that that was the case of.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Ooh, what do we do with C.J. Stroud? C.J.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Stroud's a hard one.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: The Kyler Murray game is fun. Now that we're here
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: playing it, this is a good time.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Do you think they'd have a similar situation? Do you
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: think they'd be just as good if you flip-flopped Dak
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Prescott and Kyler Murray?
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: No, I think Dak Prescott is better than him. I
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: think that, I think, yes, I think that Dak Prescott
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: is better than Kyler Murray.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I do too. I think that is like my exact... Like,
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: once you get past, like, 12.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Anything's possible.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: Anything's possible.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is, if he's available, I think the
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: league is going to jump on. I think all we've
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: been talking is about to whittle away and go away.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Because if you're telling me that if I don't get
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, I got to go get Tua or 35-year-old Gino,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: if he's 35.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: Or the corpse of Aaron Rodgers.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Or $ 30 million a year to Malik Willis. And by
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: the way, somebody's going to do it and I think
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: there's a good chance it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Could work out. We are far removed from watching Malik
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Willis be abject.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: We are way past that.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I just don't... I wouldn't... I would not want it
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: to be my $ 30 million.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: But I would be happy for it when he receives it.

• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Now, if you haven't heard.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: All right, if you haven't heard, there's a war. The U.S.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: has bombed Iran, and people started betting on it. On
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: a pot market, at least $ 200 million was staked on
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: four wagers relating to the U.S. stakes in Iran. Kalshi
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: had to put out this tweet. The odds that the
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Ayatollah is out of the Supreme Leader has surged to 68%. Reminder,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Kalshi does not offer markets that settle on death. Beau,
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: what was your reaction to this?
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Hey, man, there is somebody who works there that's like,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I can't keep doing this.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Imagine you being the person at the meeting where they're
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: talking about all of these things that are happening.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Or you have to raise your hand. So what's our
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: rule if he dies?
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: So how exactly? I can't believe this is life, right?
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Like this sounds like parody or satire.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Right, right.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: I will say this.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like getting into the real nitty gritty
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: of the war. And I guess if there's an even
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: countless war, I don't know what all was. I don't
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know where to go.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: OK, I mean, I think people in Congress are going
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: to be debating this next week.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to make two points or just two
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: observations that I have that we could all deal with
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: right now. Number one, I remember the first I told
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: first I told her, for those of you who are
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: too young, was a really big deal.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Like whenever it was that.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: It was time, like back in the day, we talked
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: about dictators a lot more.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? But he was a tier
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: one bad person. We talked about him all the time.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: And then he died.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: And I don't know why, but the next Ayatollah, we
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: don't really, we never really bring him up very much.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: In spite of the fact that apparently he's so evil
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: that you got to smoke his ass and all his
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: partners right where they stand.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Are you saying we used to be a proper country
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: because we knew who our dictators were?
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: No, I'm trying to figure out how it is that
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: this Ayatollah never caught on.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: It's like the new Kim Jong doesn't really catch on
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, but that's what I'm saying. We've known all
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: the Kims, right? As that has gone on. But with
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: this right here, I'm just very surprised that we... it's
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: been the same one for 37 years and people don't
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: know his name or nothing like that.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: I didn't even try to pronounce it.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it had just been Iran. We never got to
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: the particulars of it. I just personally don't understand how
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: that happened or why. Number two, I cannot imagine That
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: I finally, if you were the type of person who
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: would want to do this, and I'm not. You finally
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: stacked up your bread. You got on that plane. And
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: you took your vacation to Dubai. And your hotel is
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: getting bombed.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Private flights are going for six figures out of there.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: $ 325, 000.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: It's one thing to go somewhere and get its hurricanes.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Like, oh, damn. They are bombing Dubai, the airport. They're like, nah, man. Y'all, y'all,
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: you can't be serious right now. No, but they are.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: This is what happened.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: I can't think of anything where one thing happened and
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: then the other team was like, all right, everybody getting it.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Anybody that's staying with you that's close to us, they
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: ain't going to get it. And this has only been
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: a couple of days. It has only been... That was
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: the other part.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Trump was like, hey, man, here's what we're going to do.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: We're going to bomb them and then y'all can go
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: take over your country. Which, on paper, may not sound
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: like the worst idea. In application, the probability of chaos
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: is very, very high.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: If we've learned anything for the last 60 years, it's
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: a little bit harder on paper than it is in
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: real life than it is on paper.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Particularly there.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 40:35
  Speaker 8: And that's 70 years almost, but yes, particularly there.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Have you seen Argo?
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Argo made me rethink something. By the way, I watched
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Argo on a plane. And that was a shockingly emotional experience.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Altitude does that, right? But when they was trying to
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: get through the airport at the end, I've never been
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: more on edge in my life. But that scene made
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: me think about something that nobody talks about when it
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: comes to overthrowing the government. Everybody want to overthrow the
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: government so they can do all the top line stuff.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: But once you overthrow the government, you are also responsible
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: for the government.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: And so in Argo.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: The bureaucracy of the government.
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: So in Argo, it was watching who the dudes were
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: that are looking at passports. They're just dudes in camouflage
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: with guns. They didn't get into this to be looking
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: at your fucking passport.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants to do that. Right? And so they're like, hey,
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: we're going to overthrow the government. Okay, then you overthrow
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: the government. Somebody's got to run it. And it's like,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: who's going to work the airport? What do you mean?
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: I don't want to work the airport.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Like, there's not one person associated with that revolution that's like, yo,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: once I get this.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: I want to be TSA.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, school lunches? I'll be in charge of that.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: No!
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: No!
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: So we did this for you. Now you can overthrow
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: the government. There's a whole lot of cats that was like, hey, man,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: we ain't like him, but we wasn't trying to do
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: his job.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: There's a reason why we didn't do this ourselves. And
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: this is an awful man, just to be clear.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not a fan.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, we killed your leader so that
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: you could take over.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, thanks?
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: All right, speaking of headlines that don't sound real, the
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: Atlanta Hawks will host a Magic City Monday. Women Pepper
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: Wings will be on the menu. TI is going to perform.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: This will happen in the next few weeks. Of course,
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: Magic City, famous Atlanta strip club. Bo, what was your
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: reaction when you heard this news?
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, so.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Number one, Maybe I'm just becoming a bit more prudish
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: in my old age. But we don't need to mainstream
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: the strip club that far.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: We know where it's at. You know what I'm saying? Like,
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: we don't need to. I don't know.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: But number two, I heard you say that they was
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: going to have wings. I heard you say that T.I.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: was going to perform.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: You know what I didn't hear you say? Anything about dancers.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Everything I've heard about Magic City night at State Farm
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Arena has sounded like the city, but I ain't heard
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: shit about no magic. The wings ain't that good. I
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: go to Magic City just for the wings. Lying ass.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: If you do, you're doing it really wrong.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: But if it's Magic City night and all it is
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: is wings and T.I., I would stay at home. Or
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: maybe I'd go to Magic City where they will have
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: wings and they won't have T.I., but they'll have something
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I'd like a lot more in 2026.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: All right. And finally, Fox Sports debuted a new feature
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: on its app where there is an AI Colin Cowherd.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: You can, you know, ask him anything, get his opinions,
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: get his takes. I asked AI Colin Cowherd, should Bomani
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: Jones get his own AI app? This is what it said.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Bomani Jones deserves his own AI app because he's a
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: trailblazer in sports media, consistently pushing boundaries with his unfiltered
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: opinions and sharp analysis. His commentary on athletes like Deion
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: Sanders is and controversies surrounding Serena Williams has shown he's
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: not afraid to tackle tough topics. Jones has also been
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: vocal about the state of sports media, criticizing the quote
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: stick to sports crowd and highlighting the influence of athletes
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: and media. Jones has expressed frustration with sports media personalities,
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: including AI generated takes to boost engagement, calling them quote
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: fucking dorks. He believes that relying on AI undermines the
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: value of original thought and authenticity in sports commentary. This
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: stance demands, demonstrates his commitment to maintaining high standards in
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: sports media. Creating an AI app inspired by Jones could
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: revolutionize how his fans consume sports analysis. It would offer
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: a unique blend of his insightful commentary and sharp wit,
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: potentially changing the sports media landscape. Bo, does this sound
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: like you?
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it would revolutionize how my fans get their sports
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: content by cutting me out! Hey, man, that Colin, that's
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: a shrewd man. That's a man, his paper is right.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: I can't believe he agreed to this.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, why don't you make it a little
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: easier to replace me next go round?
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Hell no, I ain't, no. This is fucking ridiculous. I
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: couldn't believe, I can't.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Believe, no, not in any way whatsoever do I want any,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: any parts of this. And as we have talked about before,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: when it comes to AI versions of me, Remember when
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: we did that that one day, Ryan?
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: I do remember that one day.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: It was really racist, guys.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Like, not offensively racist, but it wasn't, like, flattering racist.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know if.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, there is a sort of flattering racist, but I
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: don't want to talk about that right now with my
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: mama there.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: All right, Bo, got some voicemails, a lot of good ones.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Here's the first. How you doing, Bo?
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: This is Jay from Boston, and I have a question
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: for you about the NBA. Pat Riley, at his recent
• 46:35
  Speaker 7: Hall of Fame speech, made it clear that he wanted
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: NBA coaches on the sidelines to go back to wearing suits.
• 46:45
  Speaker 7: while I grew up in the era where Iverson was
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: obviously demonized for the way he dressed and David Stern
• 46:52
  Speaker 7: enacted a much tougher dress code that sort of morphed
• 46:56
  Speaker 7: into the sideline turned into runway that we kind of
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: have going on now. I appreciate the freedom of coaches
• 47:08
  Speaker 7: wearing what they want, but as a longtime fan, I
• 47:11
  Speaker 7: can't deny that suits on the sideline bring an air of,
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: I don't know, seriousness or gravity that, you know, on
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: many levels, we all know the game, especially in the
• 47:23
  Speaker 7: regular season, is lacking. Doc Rivers had come up with
• 47:27
  Speaker 7: a bit of a compromise when asked about it by
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: The Athletic, and he said that maybe coaches should, you know,
• 47:33
  Speaker 7: wear what they want to wear during the regular season,
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: but ship the suits for the playoffs to show, you know,
• 47:39
  Speaker 7: the seriousness of you know, playoff series. I think that's also,
• 47:43
  Speaker 7: you know, potentially a decent compromise, but I did want
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: to hear your thoughts about coaches going back to wearing
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: suits on the sidelines. Long time fan of the show.
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: Love what you're doing.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: Have a great day.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: I am 100% in agreement with Pat Riley on this
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: because it's part of the show.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good for the TV show.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also, look, let's stop acting like we don't
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: understand how things work, right? The suit, it is a
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: signal of seriousness, right? Like, you're the guy in the suit.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Why should anybody listen to you? You out here wearing
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: a pullover.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: I have to say.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: This is a little bit of a, you know, Pat Rodgers, who...
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: clearly looks better than most people in a suit.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah but he's like yeah yeah everyone but.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: These cats ain't talking this because they don't look good
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: in suits they talking this because they lazy and they
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: just want to throw the pullover all no man it's
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: a part of the show now it i think the
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: suit thing was actually better when the coaches were a
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: little worse dressed right like i'll never forget this is
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: i don't know doug moe died recently right he rest
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: in peace i'll be you you'd have no reason to
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: remember when doug moe was the coach of the Nuggets.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: But I remember when Dan Issel became the coach of
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets, he played for Mo with the Nuggets and
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: he went to college at Kentucky and played under Adolph Rupp.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: And just to give you an idea of what kind.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Of man Doug Mo was, Issel said in his first game,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: as a tribute to Adolph Rupp, I'm going to wear
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: a brown suit.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: As a tribute to Doug Moe, I'm going to wear
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: black shoes.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Because Doug Moe's shit was always super sloppy all over
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: the place. But there's something to be said for being
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: the coach that can't get it right. I don't know.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Everybody looks the same and The significance of coaching has
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: dwindled in so many ways, right? Like the idea that
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: the coach matters in basketball has fallen off. In baseball,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: it's the same way, right? And I don't think that's
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: good for the product, actually. I think that they are
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: part of the show. They are part of the tapestry,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: the mosaic, and all of these things.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: And dressing like.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: This game matters or like you're an important person in this,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: I think those things matter, right? I think those things
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: go somewhere.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: And it was a thing that came around during the pandemic,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: and it made sense during the pandemic, okay?
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: But y'all don't work from home. So, like, come on, man.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Of course, I show up here with wrinkled sweatshirts on
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: every week, but that's a part of this show.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: That show is different.
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: All right, here's our next one.
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: Well, what up, Bo? This Shaq from OP. And, bro,
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: I've been listening to you for a long time, over
• 50:37
  Speaker 6: 10 years. I appreciate everything that you, you know, say
• 50:42
  Speaker 6: and do and everything. And from a lot of listeners,
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: they probably don't.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Know what OP stands for.
• 50:48
  Speaker 7: I'm from Opelousas.
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: And I know you and Ryan, well, your pops is
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: from Odell, Ryan from Lafayette. And I think we all...
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: got to a point in our lives when we were,
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: we are, can't go back all-stars, all of us. My
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: question for you, Bo, is who are the new age.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: Can't go back all-stars? Because we got the old school.
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: Can't go backs. Now who are these youngsters now for
• 51:27
  Speaker 6: the can't go backs? All right, Bo, appreciate you.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: Later.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: All right, you know, we ain't got as many as
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: we used to, Ryan. This is becoming, but all right.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards, we absolutely know.
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: He is on that list. As I recall, Jonathan.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Kaminga moved himself from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: I did not know this.
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: He ain't going back. I tell you that right now.
• 51:57
  Speaker 8: Who else?
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: Does Giannis count? Yes.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: The man who didn't, who wasn't even a citizen.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't even give him a passport. Yeah, I would.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: The man who, by the way, they say still like
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: come pick up leftover food.
• 52:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: And put it like this. He believes that he can't
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: go back.
• 52:19
  Speaker 8: All that matters that yeah yeah that that that certainly
• 52:23
  Speaker 8: would uh will put him on the list i tell
• 52:25
  Speaker 8: you this i looked at bones highland he was about
• 52:27
  Speaker 8: to punch valachunas in the face on saturday he looked
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: like he in that boat.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: For sure all right here's our.
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: Next one hey what's up boat this is uh john
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: collin from charlotte and uh i just got a question
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: man um Where did we lose with R & B? Like,
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: why is R & B popping like it used to?
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: And I'm asking because I recently bought my pops vinyl records,
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: and I know he's a big Josie fan. I've been
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: jamming it out to him. Man, they got some good stuff.
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: I just want to know, like, where did we lose
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: the recipe when it came to R & B? I
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: appreciate it.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't even– the thing that's gotten me
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: is that if you're a certain age, and I feel
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: like if you were asking that question, you're probably of
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: this age, You don't know anything about contemporary R &
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: B that doesn't sound like rap or doesn't come with
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: a rap verse or have the imaging of such.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: And it really was just one of those things where
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: you just looked up and it happened. You know, like
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: you go.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: See, the problem is, stuff that don't seem like that
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: long ago is, but I'm like, man, if you think
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: about 06, okay, that was 20 years ago.
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: 20 years ago.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Right, but like, if you go to that point, you know,
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: or the end of the aughts, I mean, there's still
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: R & B out there, like, you know, played on
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: the same stages with the rap, played alongside of it
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: that is clearly not rap, right?
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: It does not necessarily have that influence.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: You just looked up one day and it was out
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: of here, but what's wild about it is, the people
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: that sell a zillion, not all, like, all of them, obviously,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: but like, Adele is singing a form of R &
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: B music and she still makes zillions of dollars doing that.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Bruno Mars was making zillions of dollars doing that. Anderson.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: Paak' s my.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Favorite and he has his own lane along there, but
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: it's out there and the people who do it are
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: hugely successful. So sometimes I feel like it's a misplaced question,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: but I know exactly why you were asking the question
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: and I don't ever have a great answer. for how
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: it is that it, you know, got to that place. But,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: you know, like I do wonder this, right? Like at
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: talent shows, the kids get up and sing at talent
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: shows anymore because singing don't seem to be like what.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: The game is.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder if we're just almost too cynical.
• 54:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: Not sincere enough for that sort of music.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think the problem for me.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: I think the counter to that is, again, Adele makes
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: zillions of dollars. Yeah, yeah.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: But the problem for me is I don't listen to
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: radio because I'm never in a car.
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: Same.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: So I don't... I can't say with any accuracy myself
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: how these things are curated to say that there is
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: no more blank. Because every now and then somebody will
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: hit me up with somebody that, like, it'll feel to
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: me more like music for somebody my age than for
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: somebody young.
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: So I don't... Damn, I'm so old. I don't even
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: know if I can– I'm not even allowed to talk
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: about this no more.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: Ain't that something?
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: All right, here's our last one.
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: Hey, Bo and Ryan, this is Matt from New Orleans.
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: I knew a white man who I knew as Dan
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: for eight years, and I got his wedding invitation, and
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: it turns out his name was Denarius.
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: Keep up the good work. I think that's the same
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: face Matt made as well.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: He hung up that phone like Larry Bird in the
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: three-point contest.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Dragonfly Joe said that once on Twitter about somebody.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, I think he said when that dude hit Roland
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Martin with both of these nuts back in the day.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: That is my image forever when somebody knows it's going in, right?
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: He dropped that one.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: He was like, he knew when he hung up that
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: he was going to be on the show.
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: He has stuck around the whole time to get to
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: this point.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. Thanks so much for joining us here
