- 0:05Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
- 0:08Speaker 1: Radio n E two five and on the Altitude Sports
- 0:11Speaker 1: Radio app.
- 0:18Speaker 2: I believe this when I was an assistant in the
- 0:20Speaker 2: last six years. He is the best player in the world.
- 0:24Speaker 2: I mean the efficiency this year of what he's done.
- 0:27Speaker 2: I just growing up around this. I understand that there
- 0:30Speaker 2: has to be multiple stories and different people have to
- 0:33Speaker 2: win awards, and I think that's really cool. And what
- 0:35Speaker 2: Webin Yama is is so good for the game. He's
- 0:37Speaker 2: so unique. What Shay is bringing back kind of an
- 0:40Speaker 2: old school ninety scoring mentality with a new school three
- 0:44Speaker 2: point shot. I mean, all these guys are so good
- 0:46Speaker 2: for the game. But I just don't want people just
- 0:49Speaker 2: to skip past our guy because he's won it three times.
- 0:53Speaker 3: So just for fun, by the way, yesterday morning, because
- 0:56Speaker 3: I saw the reaction from people on Twitter after the game,
- 0:59Speaker 3: because it's Jokic can do this to you.
- 1:01Speaker 4: He can make some plays, or.
- 1:02Speaker 3: He can have a game in which is just like
- 1:04Speaker 3: a reminder, especially on a national stage, of what this
- 1:08Speaker 3: guy is. Or even guys like Nick Wright, who yes,
- 1:11Speaker 3: he's turned the corner now. But he said after that game,
- 1:13Speaker 3: Jokic's overtime performance versus Wemby might have been the best
- 1:16Speaker 3: four minute stretch I've seen from anyone all season. Holy
- 1:19Speaker 3: believe It's what he said. And just to get that reaction,
- 1:22Speaker 3: I was like, I wonder if that changed the odds
- 1:24Speaker 3: at all in the MVP race, And just for fun,
- 1:26Speaker 3: I looked at it. Sure it did nothing for you.
- 1:29Speaker 3: He is still plus ten thousand to win the award.
- 1:31Speaker 3: You know what it did do?
- 1:33Speaker 4: It dropped Wemby.
- 1:34Speaker 3: It dropped Wemby from it. That's the only thing that happened.
- 1:36Speaker 5: Can I say this though about Wimby and would you
- 1:38Speaker 5: guys agree with me? My brothers and I were texting
- 1:39Speaker 5: back and forth during the game. He is going to be.
- 1:45Speaker 5: He's not, you know, he's still growing. And I mean
- 1:49Speaker 5: that figuratively and literally. Yeah, the greatest player of his
- 1:54Speaker 5: generation and he is going to be if he's healthy,
- 1:57Speaker 5: no doubt, one of the great players to ever played
- 2:00Speaker 5: this game.
- 2:01Speaker 4: Completely agree, because.
- 2:02Speaker 5: He possesses It's not just let me let me be
- 2:06Speaker 5: very upfront about this. You can be tall. There's a
- 2:10Speaker 5: lot of tall guys that have played. There are a
- 2:12Speaker 5: lot of guys that were over seven feet tall that
- 2:13Speaker 5: have played, but not many that possessed the coordination, the
- 2:19Speaker 5: dribbling skills, and the shooting skills.
- 2:21Speaker 4: But last, but not least, the.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Most important quality he possesses is right here. Yeah, he's
- 2:27Speaker 5: a killer. He wants to eat you. He wants to
- 2:30Speaker 5: eat your children.
- 2:32Speaker 3: I love that about Wimby, Well, I love it, Like obviously,
- 2:37Speaker 3: the conversation starts at he is so uniquely genetically gifted,
- 2:43Speaker 3: Like that's a part of it, in the same way
- 2:45Speaker 3: Lebron's genetically gifted, sure, but it's what you do with
- 2:49Speaker 3: those gifts.
- 2:50Speaker 4: But he's mentally gifted.
- 2:52Speaker 5: He's not a A lot of those seven footers are
- 2:55Speaker 5: sort of reactive. He's proactive with what he does. He
- 2:58Speaker 5: wants to hurt getting like when he dunks, he wants
- 3:01Speaker 5: to hurt you.
- 3:03Speaker 3: I'll tell you this something that never gets old, and
- 3:06Speaker 3: it's maybe the thing that I've the thing I most
- 3:10Speaker 3: often forget about with Joker that probably three to four
- 3:15Speaker 3: times a year he gives you a reminder of when
- 3:18Speaker 3: he hit the shot over Wemby, and Wemby made that
- 3:21Speaker 3: face of like are you kidding me?
- 3:23Speaker 4: Face?
- 3:24Speaker 3: The same thing that we saw ad have in the
- 3:26Speaker 3: postseason a few years back. Those things are.
- 3:29Speaker 4: Just cinema To me, those are the best.
- 3:31Speaker 3: When he makes a shot and the guy who he's
- 3:33Speaker 3: been guarded by, who is also one of the best
- 3:36Speaker 3: in the world, just goes, what the hell am I
- 3:37Speaker 3: supposed to do?
- 3:38Speaker 4: Man?
- 3:39Speaker 5: The two shots that he made and where people should
- 3:42Speaker 5: understand that joker is playoff ready is what he did
- 3:45Speaker 5: on the defensive end against San Antonio. Pinned a shot
- 3:49Speaker 5: on the backboard, moved his feet to stay in front
- 3:51Speaker 5: of dear and fearing follows people.
- 3:53Speaker 4: Exactly who had a bad game.
- 3:55Speaker 5: Mind you, he did the things defensively and then offensively,
- 3:58Speaker 5: it's just chef's kiss the baseline jumper with eight seconds
- 4:00Speaker 5: left over weenby the floater.
- 4:03Speaker 4: To me, what's the best shot of the game, better
- 4:05Speaker 4: than the son board shuffle.
- 4:06Speaker 3: I'm gonna I want to break down the playoff scenarios
- 4:09Speaker 3: in just a second, but quickly. Jokic you can tell
- 4:12Speaker 3: when he has a game that he's he's pretty proud
- 4:14Speaker 3: of because he gets the postgame interview and there's maybe
- 4:17Speaker 3: a different sort of tone to it and he's I
- 4:19Speaker 3: don't want to say nicer to the national media people,
- 4:21Speaker 3: But it's different.
- 4:22Speaker 4: He's much different.
- 4:23Speaker 5: When he does a postgame interview with us and it's
- 4:25Speaker 5: just one on one, it's.
- 4:26Speaker 3: Sort of like a rope I've done a million times.
- 4:28Speaker 5: But when he's a guest with with Chuck and his
- 4:31Speaker 5: crew or the Amazon crew or the NBC crew, former
- 4:35Speaker 5: players that he he respects and he's been around, it's
- 4:39Speaker 5: a different joker.
- 4:40Speaker 3: So this is about twenty five seconds of him talking
- 4:44Speaker 3: to you, Donnis Haslam on the Prime crew after the game.
- 4:48Speaker 4: He found a little bit in my I mean, yeah,
- 4:52Speaker 4: you all win.
- 4:53Speaker 6: Yeah, we see the position, Yeah, we see the background.
- 4:56Speaker 4: He's pointing at the championship.
- 5:00Speaker 7: I got three have a big dog, did have the
- 5:09Speaker 7: good You're right, you're right.
- 5:13Speaker 3: So he goes Donnas has them, goes, I got three
- 5:15Speaker 3: of those things, talking about championship trophies, and he said
- 5:18Speaker 3: nothing against me. And it's maybe the closest I've ever
- 5:22Speaker 3: heard to a brag from Nicolajok in my life, the
- 5:24Speaker 3: closest I've ever.
- 5:25Speaker 5: Heard, well, you remember the SoundBite, the closest thing to
- 5:29Speaker 5: anything that's off putting, not even off putting, but clapping back.
- 5:34Speaker 5: Remember in Houston a couple of years ago when I
- 5:36Speaker 5: asked him about stat stuffer.
- 5:40Speaker 4: Stat stuff.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Yeah whatever.
- 5:41Speaker 5: That's the only time I can remember Joker like vividly
- 5:45Speaker 5: talking about his critics.
- 5:47Speaker 8: But you know what, I think it's even to this
- 5:49Speaker 8: stage in his career. I think that it's good that
- 5:53Speaker 8: he does those types of things and you know, laughs
- 5:57Speaker 8: and whatnot.
- 5:57Speaker 4: With the crew.
- 5:58Speaker 8: He was on there for a law time. I don't
- 6:01Speaker 8: know who the gal is that. That's kind of the.
- 6:05Speaker 4: Travil Rooks Taylor.
- 6:07Speaker 8: She was really good and they had Dirk there, They
- 6:10Speaker 8: had Donnis has on there. Then they had what the
- 6:14Speaker 8: former GM Blake Griffin was there. Griffin was there, but
- 6:16Speaker 8: they also said the former GM guy, what's his name?
- 6:19Speaker 4: I don't know. I didn't see a GM, but he
- 6:21Speaker 4: was there a little bit earlier.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Anyway, let me tell you something about Taylor Rooks. So
- 6:24Speaker 3: she used to work for the Big Ten network back
- 6:26Speaker 3: in the day when I was in Lincoln. We went
- 6:29Speaker 3: to Chicago every year for Big Ten media days. She
- 6:32Speaker 3: walked into the radio row room. Every radio show stopped talking, really,
- 6:37Speaker 3: every every single show stops talking. Most there's a bit
- 6:42Speaker 3: that NBA players they say the wildest things whenever she's
- 6:47Speaker 3: talking to them. I remember Jalen Brown said, I think
- 6:49Speaker 3: I'm gonna have five championships by the time.
- 6:54Speaker 4: Stopped.
- 6:55Speaker 3: Exactly. It's like they go into guy with a brain
- 6:58Speaker 3: stop at the bar mode, and it's like, you know,
- 7:01Speaker 3: let me tell you about me.
- 7:02Speaker 4: You know who she is. She's the NFL equivalent of
- 7:04Speaker 4: who kay Adam Exactly. Yep.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Every guy that talks to her in the NBA turns
- 7:09Speaker 3: into Sean.
- 7:10Speaker 4: You should be the NHL's k Adam Stay Rooks. Yeah,
- 7:13Speaker 4: it wouldn't quite work. So hey, Landy, jesus.
- 7:18Speaker 3: She does a great job and as no, she's very good.
- 7:20Speaker 8: But but it went on for I mean, he was
- 7:23Speaker 8: talking to them for quite a while, like way longer
- 7:26Speaker 8: than even a TNT thing with Shack or certainly a
- 7:30Speaker 8: lot longer than he would with with us locally. But
- 7:32Speaker 8: I think it's good to show that side of him.
- 7:34Speaker 8: I think it's good to show that that you know
- 7:35Speaker 8: that he's a personable dude.
- 7:37Speaker 5: You're so right and listen, I make note of this
- 7:39Speaker 5: every time I see these guys on these national shows.
- 7:41Speaker 4: It's just respectful is not the word.
- 7:45Speaker 5: They're content in allowing the interviews to keep going and
- 7:49Speaker 5: just keep you know.
- 7:50Speaker 3: They're more allowing the follow ups.
- 7:53Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, it's more of a hey, well, let's just talk,
- 7:56Speaker 5: all right. So I'm looking at the box score from
- 7:58Speaker 5: Nuggets and Spurs. You win the game, so it's hard
- 8:00Speaker 5: to get critical about a game like this. But first quarter,
- 8:05Speaker 5: san Antonio scores forty three points, and then after that,
- 8:09Speaker 5: after that first quarter, san Antonio did not have another
- 8:12Speaker 5: quarter with more than thirty. Okay, so the Nuggets decided
- 8:16Speaker 5: to play defense after the first. But that first quarter
- 8:19Speaker 5: told me, all right, this is not gonna work if you're.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Gonna if you're gonna win in the postseason, right, you
- 8:24Speaker 4: can't do that. You can't. You can't do this.
- 8:27Speaker 3: You can quarter Like, did you see how easy it was.
- 8:29Speaker 4: For san Antonio to score to start that game? Yeah?
- 8:32Speaker 4: How easy? And that was against the Nugget starters, yep.
- 8:35Speaker 5: And then they locked down, right, So what I want
- 8:38Speaker 5: to see at some point is the lockdown early, well.
- 8:43Speaker 3: Especially given what's in front of you.
- 8:45Speaker 4: Now.
- 8:46Speaker 3: So here's the scenario that I think could very easily
- 8:50Speaker 3: play out as long as the Nuggets stay on their game.
- 8:53Speaker 3: If a game tomorrow against Portland, all right, sorry, tonight
- 8:56Speaker 3: against Portland, it would be a win if they take
- 9:02Speaker 3: care of business. Here's what kind of happens. The Lakers
- 9:07Speaker 3: are now without Don Chic for what is assumed to
- 9:12Speaker 3: be a month to a little over a month. They
- 9:16Speaker 3: then get news that Austin Reeves obleak is a four
- 9:20Speaker 3: to six week injury. That means for the remainder of
- 9:24Speaker 3: their season four games left, along with likely the first
- 9:27Speaker 3: round of the playoffs. Lebron James, at forty one years old,
- 9:33Speaker 3: is gonna have to score his age every night for
- 9:35Speaker 3: them to win games.
- 9:36Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 9:36Speaker 5: I watched a little bit of that Dallas Lakers game
- 9:39Speaker 5: last night. Lakers didn't have a chance.
- 9:41Speaker 3: Dude, you can't ask him to do all that at
- 9:44Speaker 3: this age right now a chance and they play Oklahoma City.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Oklahoma City is going to wax them because if they
- 9:51Speaker 3: win that game, they've essentially locked in the one seed
- 9:54Speaker 3: from the Spurs, Which what we talked about on Friday
- 9:56Speaker 3: was if you get this win against San Antonio, if
- 9:59Speaker 3: you're still fighting to win game, you can render the
- 10:01Speaker 3: last two games of your schedule against OKAC and then
- 10:03Speaker 3: the Spurs the final game of the year. They're not
- 10:07Speaker 3: gonna play anybody.
- 10:08Speaker 5: Let me break it down. I'll make it really easy
- 10:09Speaker 5: for you, so you can get the three seed, is
- 10:11Speaker 5: what I'm getting at here. The Nuggets have four games left.
- 10:14Speaker 5: If the Nuggets go three and one in these four,
- 10:17Speaker 5: I believe they'll have the three seed they go four
- 10:20Speaker 5: to zero, three seed. If they go two and two,
- 10:23Speaker 5: I don't think so. Here's what the Lakers have. Oklahoma
- 10:27Speaker 5: City l Then they're at Golden State. Now you ask,
- 10:32Speaker 5: what does Golden State have to play for? Really nothing,
- 10:35Speaker 5: but there's something about Golden State versus LA when they
- 10:38Speaker 5: play each other. Steph's trying to get back into shape.
- 10:42Speaker 5: Golden State's gonna want to win that game. Then they
- 10:44Speaker 5: play Phoenix.
- 10:46Speaker 4: What does Phoenix have to play for?
- 10:48Speaker 5: Well, they're sort of locked into that play in, but
- 10:50Speaker 5: they got teams, you know, up behind them that Phoenix
- 10:53Speaker 5: likes to beat l A.
- 10:54Speaker 4: That game is going to mean something. The only game
- 10:57Speaker 4: that's meaningless.
- 10:58Speaker 5: That the Lakers have left that I think they should
- 11:00Speaker 5: win is the Utah game to end the season.
- 11:03Speaker 4: So i'll give them that. I'll concede that. But the
- 11:05Speaker 4: other three, No, they.
- 11:07Speaker 5: Could lose all three. They could lose two or three,
- 11:09Speaker 5: they could lose one of three. Yeah, they need to
- 11:12Speaker 5: lose at least one more for the Nuggets to get
- 11:14Speaker 5: the three seed, and the Nuggets would have to go undefeated. Now,
- 11:17Speaker 5: how about the nugget situation. Here's what the Nuggets have
- 11:19Speaker 5: left Portland tonight.
- 11:21Speaker 4: Guys. Portland has a lot to play for.
- 11:24Speaker 3: Still, yeah, they're jocking for it. But if they become
- 11:27Speaker 3: an eight seed, they can lose twice in the play
- 11:29Speaker 3: in right, Portland's they can lose one, guys, that is correct,
- 11:32Speaker 3: and they'll host the Clippers, won't they.
- 11:34Speaker 5: Portland and the Clippers are tied right now. They're trying
- 11:38Speaker 5: to remove themselves from that tie. So Portland has a.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Lot to play for. They've won three straight, They're eight
- 11:44Speaker 3: and two in the last ten.
- 11:45Speaker 5: Then the Nuggets play Memphis Wednesday night. You got to
- 11:49Speaker 5: win that game. Just yeah, Memphis is done. You gotta
- 11:52Speaker 5: win that game.
- 11:53Speaker 4: It's not worth me talking about Memphis.
- 11:55Speaker 3: And then the final two, he got.
- 11:58Speaker 4: Oklahoma City at home.
- 12:00Speaker 5: Now, oklahoma City may come here already with the top
- 12:03Speaker 5: seed done.
- 12:05Speaker 4: But I wonder what will oklahoma City? What do they want?
- 12:08Speaker 5: Do they want Denver to win that game? Do they
- 12:11Speaker 5: want to play Denver in the second round? Now I
- 12:12Speaker 5: start thinking what the other team wants. If you're Oklahoma City.
- 12:17Speaker 5: You really want to see the Nuggets in the second
- 12:19Speaker 5: round or do you want to see the Spurs in.
- 12:21Speaker 4: The second round.
- 12:21Speaker 3: I don't know if anything is going to tempt them
- 12:24Speaker 3: to the risk of an injury at that point. If
- 12:26Speaker 3: they're locked in, I think they shut it.
- 12:28Speaker 5: Down San Antonio, final game of the season. I think
- 12:31Speaker 5: all seeds will be done for for them. They'll shut
- 12:35Speaker 5: down Wimby. They'd be smart to shut down Winby for
- 12:38Speaker 5: that game. Yeah, so the Nuggets could very easily go
- 12:41Speaker 5: for THO this week.
- 12:42Speaker 4: They could. I'm not saying they will. They could.
- 12:44Speaker 5: They could also trip up once. If they trip up twice,
- 12:48Speaker 5: if they lose twice, you got the four seed. I
- 12:52Speaker 5: think it's I don't think you're passing. I don't think
- 12:54Speaker 5: the Lakers are going to lose.
- 12:56Speaker 3: That would gain the Nuggets would end the season. Let's
- 12:59Speaker 3: say that they just win the last four, it end
- 13:02Speaker 3: the season on a twelve game win streak.
- 13:04Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 13:05Speaker 5: Well, they currently hold the longest losing streak in the NBA.
- 13:09Speaker 4: The Nuggets are currently the hottest team in.
- 13:10Speaker 3: The league, the longest longest winning streak.
- 13:13Speaker 4: Yeah, losing streak. You said, did I say losing?
- 13:15Speaker 5: They're the longest win streak in the NBA right now, apologies,
- 13:18Speaker 5: they're the hottest team in the league right now. And
- 13:21Speaker 5: if you continue that into the NBA playoffs, I think
- 13:24Speaker 5: everybody understands the aura that the Nuggets carry into the postseason.
- 13:29Speaker 5: No one is gonna no one is going to submit
- 13:31Speaker 5: that the Nuggets can't win.
- 13:33Speaker 8: I would argue to you that if I'm Oklahoma City,
- 13:37Speaker 8: I would also rather face the Spurs. I want, I
- 13:42Speaker 8: want the Nuggets. I think the Nuggets and the OKCE
- 13:45Speaker 8: thunder are the same. And the fact that they don't
- 13:47Speaker 8: want to see each other until a conference final, yeah.
- 13:50Speaker 4: So however that has to work out. They don't want
- 13:52Speaker 4: to see each other until you get to the third round.
- 13:55Speaker 3: By the way, for all of us, I'm including myself
- 13:58Speaker 3: in this, that maybe one of the Rockets in the
- 14:00Speaker 3: first round. They're peaking right now. They're playing great.
- 14:03Speaker 5: They won by a point last night at Golden State.
- 14:06Speaker 5: They held off Curry's return. But if you look at
- 14:10Speaker 5: and I assess this, look at Houston's remaining schedule. Guys,
- 14:13Speaker 5: look at Houston's remaining schedule. It is the toughest remaining
- 14:17Speaker 5: schedule of all teams left.
- 14:19Speaker 4: They have no breaks.
- 14:22Speaker 5: Here's what they've got, and this is why I wonder
- 14:25Speaker 5: what Minnesota wants. Minnesota, I think is conceded. They're going
- 14:28Speaker 5: to be the sixth seed.
- 14:28Speaker 3: I don't think that they can go anywhere outside Minnesota's done.
- 14:31Speaker 5: Minnesota's done. In fact, Minnesota cannot catch Denver. No, so
- 14:36Speaker 5: Denver is going to be guaranteed a better record than Minnesota.
- 14:40Speaker 4: That's done. But look at what Houston has left at Phoenix.
- 14:44Speaker 4: They got something to play for. I got a live
- 14:46Speaker 4: update from Augusta when we come back.
- 14:50Speaker 5: Okay, Philadelphia, that's not gonna be an easy game. Philly's
- 14:54Speaker 5: got everybody healthy again. Minnesota, I don't know what the
- 14:58Speaker 5: hell Minnesota wants at this point. And then they're easy
- 15:00Speaker 5: one Memphis. That's what Houston has left.
- 15:04Speaker 3: Three oh three, five oh four oh nine two five. Yeah,
- 15:06Speaker 3: thanks most. You couldn't wait twenty seconds to see.
- 15:08Speaker 8: I thought he was done. I didn't think he was
- 15:09Speaker 8: gonna keep rambling on about Minnesota. He was.
- 15:11Speaker 3: Nobody can schedule. Let's go to the schedule, so we'll
- 15:15Speaker 3: get in a gust update. I guess in just a second.
- 15:17Speaker 5: I'm gonna go get a coffee right after this. Okay,
- 15:20Speaker 5: thank you back at.
- 15:21Speaker 8: Yeah ah yeah, but the awe, yeah with the all
- 15:26Speaker 8: with the yeah with the awe.
- 15:29Speaker 3: Can listen to us anywhere in the world or if
- 15:33Speaker 3: you're on the Artemis two, anywhere in the universe on

- 15:51Speaker 4: Yeah, like, oh you think they have a baseball bat?
- 15:54Speaker 4: Because I think they have. We won't know what happened.
- 15:57Speaker 3: It'd be like that Malaysian Airlines flight.
- 16:00Speaker 8: They're out of communication, then they just never talk again.
- 16:02Speaker 8: That just scares me, man, I don't know if I
- 16:04Speaker 8: could do it. A couple of things weird. By the way,
- 16:08Speaker 8: I guess they're the furthest way since Apolo thirteen had
- 16:10Speaker 8: to circle the moon when there's stuff blew up.
- 16:13Speaker 4: Look how much Vic cares about it?
- 16:14Speaker 5: Right, Luka, donci twinch to Europe right now to work
- 16:18Speaker 5: on his hamstring as I'm thinking about that. Why do
- 16:21Speaker 5: you think Luca and his hamstring that's supposed to have
- 16:24Speaker 5: him outam Why do you think he went to Europe?
- 16:25Speaker 4: What do you think is happening because they've got magic juice?
- 16:28Speaker 4: Why do you think everything?
- 16:30Speaker 5: Let me most most you know this as well as I.
- 16:32Speaker 5: Why do you think every known athlete, American, European they
- 16:36Speaker 5: go to these places in Germany?
- 16:38Speaker 4: Why did they go there? They give you the goo
- 16:39Speaker 4: magic juice? What is the magic juice? What do you
- 16:42Speaker 4: think it is some performance enhancing body recovery something?
- 16:46Speaker 3: So do you say something that has anabolic in front
- 16:48Speaker 3: of it?
- 16:49Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not saying that he's No, I don't
- 16:51Speaker 5: think he's taking steroid or some did it here.
- 16:55Speaker 8: Yeah, it's some massive body recovery heal all. You know,
- 16:59Speaker 8: it's like Scotty from Star Trek when he goes or
- 17:01Speaker 8: Doc what not. Scotty he's the engine guy and then
- 17:04Speaker 8: like he fixed, like you fixed.
- 17:06Speaker 5: Tell you right now, if Luca comes back and he's
- 17:08Speaker 5: able to play in the first round of the playoffs,
- 17:10Speaker 5: I'm taking that first flight to.
- 17:13Speaker 3: Do you think Michael Clark Duncan from the Green Mile
- 17:16Speaker 3: is over there?
- 17:17Speaker 4: Yeah, he's just eating stuff and the spinning it out.
- 17:20Speaker 3: Every NBA player comes through and he's just like, I'm
- 17:22Speaker 3: tired balls.

- 19:06Speaker 5: He also tried to he else, try to request something
- 19:09Speaker 5: from Uncle Vic that he can't get.
- 19:11Speaker 4: That's true. Now this is Augusta.
- 19:15Speaker 8: People who don't know about Augusta and the Masters, they
- 19:18Speaker 8: don't understand what it's all about. Like why can't you well,
- 19:20Speaker 8: you know you get the why can't you play it?
- 19:23Speaker 4: Because I can't? Well, I just go because I just
- 19:27Speaker 4: you can't.
- 19:27Speaker 5: Do you have to story about that guy who want
- 19:29Speaker 5: a ticket to the Gusta to watch and he showed
- 19:32Speaker 5: up with the.
- 19:33Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was an Asian guy.
- 19:36Speaker 3: He showed up with his clubs because he got to
- 19:38Speaker 3: keep playing.
- 19:39Speaker 4: The plastic plastic.
- 19:41Speaker 3: Plastice round, the plastic round.
- 19:45Speaker 8: So there's merchandise in the merchandise tent, and then there's
- 19:50Speaker 8: merch inside the clubhouse pro shop. People don't get to
- 19:56Speaker 8: go into the clubhouse pro shop and purchase the real stuff.
- 19:59Speaker 4: With the re logo somebody did unless you're an invited guest.
- 20:06Speaker 4: To remember.
- 20:08Speaker 5: That stuff I brought back to you guys, the real stuff.
- 20:11Speaker 4: Yeah, so le he's been going to the Masters for I.
- 20:13Speaker 3: Know somebody who can want up you on that. By
- 20:15Speaker 3: the way, Marcus Washington's played there twice, two separate occasions.
- 20:19Speaker 4: They're three times.
- 20:20Speaker 3: No, you played there once, well, one time, three separate
- 20:23Speaker 3: times twice.
- 20:25Speaker 4: Yes, you math must be hard in your in your world.
- 20:28Speaker 3: By the way, Marcus probably shot one hundred.
- 20:31Speaker 4: And eighty What a waste of around.
- 20:34Speaker 8: That's awesome, But in twenty years he can't get the
- 20:38Speaker 8: good stuff. Vic had access to the good stuff.
- 20:42Speaker 4: Yeah, it's also much more expensive.
- 20:44Speaker 3: So that's your up. That's your Master's up. Can update motion,
- 20:47Speaker 3: it's this is just a wildly great up date.
- 20:49Speaker 4: Here's my update. Tiger's not playing in the Masters this week.
- 20:53Speaker 4: How good is Augusta looking better than your face? That's great?
- 20:56Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it.
- 20:57Speaker 4: That's your update. Okay, thanks for it. Looks great.
- 21:01Speaker 3: You know what else looked great? It was the Avs
- 21:03Speaker 3: on Saturday. I think that that that type of game
- 21:05Speaker 3: by the way, to play that way defensively, And you
- 21:08Speaker 3: can tell Nelly was telling me earlier, like the Avs
- 21:12Speaker 3: and Nuggets have done a freaky Friday thing where the
- 21:15Speaker 3: Avs are not playing well against teams that stink, but
- 21:17Speaker 3: they play well against teams that matter, and that's more
- 21:20Speaker 3: of a byproduct of they know where they're at. They
- 21:23Speaker 3: knew when they played against Vancouver and gave up eight,
- 21:27Speaker 3: this ain't the game that's going to do anything. We
- 21:29Speaker 3: got the Dallas game coming up. We got to play
- 21:31Speaker 3: well in that, and to their credit, after giving up
- 21:34Speaker 3: eight to by far the worst team in the NHL,
- 21:37Speaker 3: they played some of the best defensive hockey of their
- 21:40Speaker 3: year against Dallas.
- 21:41Speaker 4: Ain't no doubt about it.
- 21:43Speaker 8: Most but when you watch a game like that and
- 21:45Speaker 8: you see the way they lock it down, did what
- 21:48Speaker 8: did you see?
- 21:49Speaker 4: What did they do differently defensively in that game.
- 21:52Speaker 8: They were just completely attentive the entire game. Their heads
- 21:57Speaker 8: were screwed on straight. They were a connected unit. Ever,
- 22:00Speaker 8: everybody connected. Everybody played hard and played it just intently.
- 22:06Speaker 4: And it shows up. Does it do anything? Does it?
- 22:09Speaker 8: Does it put a little salve on your worries and
- 22:12Speaker 8: your fears, like, oh.
- 22:13Speaker 4: God, I didn't have it.
- 22:14Speaker 8: They gave up eighth to van and then now they
- 22:16Speaker 8: lost last night to the Blues three to tube. But
- 22:19Speaker 8: is that Dallas game when it really matters and you
- 22:22Speaker 8: see the way that they performed, in the way that
- 22:24Speaker 8: they elevated, does that make you feel better and more secure?
- 22:28Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you the last three times they
- 22:30Speaker 3: played Dallas if this means anything to you. So when
- 22:34Speaker 3: they played against them, that was the shootout win where
- 22:37Speaker 3: the Avs won five to four. How many shots on
- 22:39Speaker 3: goal they allowed the two Dallas twenty one and that
- 22:43Speaker 3: was a game in which Black would get pulled early
- 22:45Speaker 3: in that game. The next time they played them, the
- 22:48Speaker 3: two to one shootout loss, they allowed eighteen shots on goal.
- 22:54Speaker 3: And in the game over the weekend the Avs allowed
- 22:58Speaker 3: was it seventeen shots on goal?
- 23:00Speaker 4: Correct?
- 23:00Speaker 5: Like they play Dallas, they batten down the hatches defensively,
- 23:04Speaker 5: you ain't getting any.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Good and SODA's Dallas, yes them.
- 23:08Speaker 5: No one has explained to me a proper explanation why
- 23:10Speaker 5: Dallas chose to start its second string goalie, it's backup
- 23:13Speaker 5: goalie in a game that pretty much was j or
- 23:16Speaker 5: die if they had any hopes of catching the avaline.
- 23:18Speaker 4: You're killing me telling you right now. I think I
- 23:20Speaker 4: gave you a perfect but.
- 23:22Speaker 3: Right now, just so people are aware, what I said
- 23:25Speaker 3: was I think that Dallas knew, even if they won
- 23:29Speaker 3: that game, they had a very very low chance of
- 23:31Speaker 3: catching the apps anyway, Okay, And they said, well, if
- 23:34Speaker 3: we're gonna do that, I'm not going to show you
- 23:36Speaker 3: are number one.
- 23:37Speaker 4: Okay, that's fine.
- 23:38Speaker 5: So you're not going to catch then the apps, that's fine,
- 23:42Speaker 5: but you can be caught by Minnesota. Minnesota is only
- 23:45Speaker 5: two points back, and they play each other, and they
- 23:47Speaker 5: play each other.
- 23:47Speaker 4: This thre's but, but Dallas has.
- 23:49Speaker 8: The tiebreaker, so Minnesota and not only has to win
- 23:51Speaker 8: that game, but has to keep winning.
- 23:52Speaker 5: All right, So let me give you remaining games for
- 23:54Speaker 5: Minnesota and Dallas. Okay, you tell me.
- 23:56Speaker 4: Which is the tougher track.
- 23:59Speaker 5: This is down Calgary at home, Minnesota at home, the
- 24:05Speaker 5: Rangers at home.
- 24:07Speaker 4: At Toronto at Buffalo. In the season, that's three wins.
- 24:11Speaker 8: It's uh yeah, three guaranteed wins, three guaranteed wins, and then.
- 24:16Speaker 4: Maybe you split, maybe you go four and one to
- 24:19Speaker 4: round things.
- 24:19Speaker 5: Here's Minnesota's remaining schedule. Minnesota at home, but they play
- 24:24Speaker 5: they play themselves at home. Sorry, Seattle at home, Okay,
- 24:28Speaker 5: at Dallas, at Nashville, it's at Saint Louis and then
- 24:32Speaker 5: Anaheim at home.
- 24:33Speaker 8: They definitely have the tougher treck. Minnesota has the diver track.
- 24:37Speaker 8: But we'll see what's wrapped up by then. Because well,
- 24:40Speaker 8: Anaheim's canna have everything to play for because they want
- 24:42Speaker 8: the number one.
- 24:43Speaker 4: They want to be the top seed out of the Pacific.
- 24:47Speaker 4: They want to get what they'll get.
- 24:48Speaker 3: The mammoth question, bro gun to your head, Pred's King, Sharks,
- 24:54Speaker 3: Blues Jets. Who's the number two?
- 24:56Speaker 8: The best odds right now? Forget about forget a out
- 25:00Speaker 8: Saint Louis and Winnipeg.
- 25:01Speaker 4: I don't like the way you pose that question. Let's
- 25:02Speaker 4: try this. Just put Saint Louis Winnipeg out of your mind.
- 25:04Speaker 4: Let's go.
- 25:05Speaker 3: Let's go a water gun to your knee.
- 25:07Speaker 4: How about back of my hand to your face?
- 25:09Speaker 8: Right now, they have about a just over a forty
- 25:11Speaker 8: four percent chance, according to the computers, of playing the
- 25:14Speaker 8: LA Kings in round one forty four. Yes, let me
- 25:19Speaker 8: let me Brett. Pull up your all you fans out
- 25:22Speaker 8: there who want to know what's going on. Here comes
- 25:25Speaker 8: a real lesson for you on seven game series, real
- 25:29Speaker 8: lesson for you on seven game series. And this is
- 25:31Speaker 8: why I'm always so optimistic things can change. But open
- 25:34Speaker 8: up the NHL standings, Brett. I just had them up.
- 25:37Speaker 8: I got it, had them You're not, Brett, Brett. What
- 25:41Speaker 8: Look at Nash Look I'm sorry, Look at the LA Kings.
- 25:43Speaker 8: How many wins do they have on the season?
- 25:45Speaker 3: Thirty one?
- 25:45Speaker 4: How many regulation wins they have?
- 25:48Speaker 3: Twenty seven?
- 25:50Speaker 4: Jesus?
- 25:50Speaker 8: How many run no, sorry, nineteen nineteen. How many games
- 25:54Speaker 8: have they played?
- 25:54Speaker 4: My god, seventy six? This sucks.
- 25:57Speaker 8: So that means listen, that means that in seventy six games,
- 26:02Speaker 8: five on five through regulation.
- 26:04Speaker 4: They have nineteen total. Well you know what it means
- 26:06Speaker 4: to me. They know how to muck up a game
- 26:08Speaker 4: and send it to overtime. The only other team I mean.
- 26:11Speaker 3: But that's the only other team with less is Vancouver, right,
- 26:20Speaker 3: who has fifteen?
- 26:21Speaker 4: That's ridiculous.
- 26:22Speaker 3: So if they have nineteen overtime losses this year?
- 26:26Speaker 8: So playing so playing real hockey, regular hockey postseason, you
- 26:30Speaker 8: play five on five for somebody pukes?
- 26:32Speaker 4: Right?
- 26:33Speaker 5: Yeah, they've won nineteen out of seventy six games. Yeah,
- 26:37Speaker 5: you want them the Ass of twenty five more? If
- 26:41Speaker 5: the Ass have forty four, so I'm saying twenty five more,
- 26:44Speaker 5: how many does so?
- 26:45Speaker 8: Okay, how many out of seventy seven games? How many
- 26:47Speaker 8: regulation wins does Dallas have?
- 26:50Speaker 4: Forty five? Thirty five? Wait? Yeah, regulation wins?
- 26:54Speaker 8: Sorry, that means they've lost more than half of their games.
- 26:58Speaker 4: Can I say something? Damn categories here in the NHL standings?
- 27:02Speaker 4: Just calm down? Okay? What I mean? It's your this
- 27:06Speaker 4: is another topic. Calm down. R W R O W
- 27:10Speaker 4: S O W S O.
- 27:11Speaker 3: L Calm down O T L.
- 27:14Speaker 4: What what are we doing here? Calm down? You agree
- 27:19Speaker 4: with me? Right? I agree? It's a lot. I mean,
- 27:22Speaker 4: it's it's supposed to be sports.
- 27:24Speaker 3: This is like, just give me just what are we doing?
- 27:30Speaker 4: L T L? There are w in that little year there?
- 27:33Speaker 4: R O W?
- 27:35Speaker 3: What other s?
- 27:35Speaker 4: O W What what is s O W Brett top wins?
- 27:40Speaker 4: What is s O L losses? Okay?
- 27:42Speaker 3: What is O T L overtime losses? What is g
- 27:46Speaker 3: F goals four? Okay, yeah, I'm crushing it.
- 27:51Speaker 4: What is s O B? What is both? Go down?
- 27:58Speaker 4: So start with the Avalanche? Are you no wild card standings? Yeps?
- 28:02Speaker 4: Toward the Avalanche and go down the regulation wins all.
- 28:05Speaker 8: The So this is five on five hockey, playoff hockey
- 28:08Speaker 8: when it matters.
- 28:09Speaker 3: In the Central the Avs have forty four, right, Dallas
- 28:12Speaker 3: is thirty five, right, Minnesota has twenty nine. Boom Pacific
- 28:16Speaker 3: Edmonton has thirty YEP, Anaheim twenty four, Vegas twenty seven. YEP,
- 28:22Speaker 3: wild card man at thirty one, actually third in league,
- 28:26Speaker 3: Prad's twenty six. And then yeah the Kings nineteen twenty
- 28:30Speaker 3: four loose have twenty nine.
- 28:32Speaker 8: So what it tells you in real hockey five on
- 28:35Speaker 8: five hockey, the Avs kick so much ass.
- 28:38Speaker 4: It's not even so.
- 28:39Speaker 5: So what you're telling me is this other team half
- 28:41Speaker 5: the regular season is not real hockey.
- 28:44Speaker 8: Know what I'm telling you. Some of the I mean
- 28:45Speaker 8: a lot of these wins by these teams. It's the
- 28:47Speaker 8: three on three year shootout. It's not it's not real hot.
- 28:50Speaker 8: So what you're telling me is that no sport. And
- 28:52Speaker 8: I've said this so many times and I get I
- 28:54Speaker 8: get blowbacks. You don't you even get blow back last don't.
- 28:58Speaker 8: Don't you do it?
- 28:59Speaker 4: No sports, don't you do It changes its rules as
- 29:04Speaker 4: much as hockey does in the postseason. No sport.
- 29:07Speaker 5: The fundamental rule of the game is changed on its
- 29:09Speaker 5: head in the postseason.
- 29:11Speaker 8: Literally, yeah, because they because you can't play five five
- 29:16Speaker 8: hockey in the regular season.
- 29:17Speaker 4: I agree, periods one night, you can't do it. I'm
- 29:20Speaker 4: just saying, no sport does this. No sport does, No
- 29:24Speaker 4: sport does what hockey does. That is correct.
- 29:27Speaker 5: Like they actually remove players during the regular season just
- 29:31Speaker 5: to get the party goals.
- 29:33Speaker 4: Yeah, they do, but it's not it's not.
- 29:37Speaker 8: It's not the same, but it's because you have to
- 29:39Speaker 8: try and figure things out quickly in hockey because you're
- 29:42Speaker 8: playing eighty two frigging game.
- 29:44Speaker 3: I kind of like this idea Baseball, we get the
- 29:46Speaker 3: extras no centerfielder. Sorry, that's just power play, so Brett
- 29:55Speaker 3: or do you add more? You get a left center
- 29:57Speaker 3: fielder and a right center fielder. You have like five guys, elders, no, infielders.
- 30:01Speaker 4: Everybody's in the outfield.
- 30:02Speaker 8: You know, I ask you to be smart sometimes I
- 30:05Speaker 8: request it and you just kind of dumb this.
- 30:07Speaker 4: What do you mean? What did I do? That is dumb?
- 30:10Speaker 4: Why look at your standings again? Oh my god, I
- 30:13Speaker 4: can't look at these standings.
- 30:15Speaker 3: What do you what?
- 30:16Speaker 5: Now?
- 30:16Speaker 4: What more do you want me to see from these standings?
- 30:18Speaker 3: All these words?
- 30:19Speaker 4: Now, you got to play hockey. But what does it
- 30:21Speaker 4: tell you about?
- 30:26Speaker 8: It tells you that in real hockey, the Abs are
- 30:29Speaker 8: by far the most kick ass team in the league.
- 30:31Speaker 4: Oh here's.
- 30:33Speaker 8: You.
- 30:33Speaker 4: Look at me.
- 30:34Speaker 3: Don't look at your screen.

- 30:35Speaker 3: You lock in hockey, boy, And then give me the
- 30:40Speaker 3: only team in the NHL this year to not have
- 30:43Speaker 3: a shootout.
- 30:45Speaker 4: Uh, yes, I know this. Oh I see it.
- 30:48Speaker 3: The As just played them.
- 30:49Speaker 4: I see it. I've just played I've just played them

- 31:48Speaker 4: What a knuckle ahead?
- 31:49Speaker 5: Uh?
- 31:49Speaker 3: Three oh three five O four nine two five shop
- 31:52Speaker 3: mos de text line one price, one person, one hour.
- 31:55Speaker 3: Still a whole bunch.
- 31:55Speaker 4: To get to big weekend.
- 31:57Speaker 3: We got your second chance to vote in our national
- 32:00Speaker 3: Idol game in the Drop tournament coming away in just
- 32:02Speaker 3: a few minutes.
- 32:04Speaker 5: Oh.
- 32:04Speaker 3: By the way, stories around sports in the world we
- 32:07Speaker 3: feel like you should be aware of. And I'll start
- 32:09Speaker 3: here allow me to complain for a second, but I
- 32:14Speaker 3: saw two examples of something television wise that I'm not
- 32:17Speaker 3: a fan of. And Vic you've heard me say this before.
- 32:22Speaker 3: I understand the reverence and the gravitas that comes with
- 32:26Speaker 3: Augusta National. I do think they take themselves a little
- 32:29Speaker 3: too seriously in some areas, Like you can calm it
- 32:32Speaker 3: down a little bit.
- 32:33Speaker 4: This is why you'll never get an invite. Booo. But
- 32:38Speaker 4: what ESPN. This is why you're not a serious, Why
- 32:42Speaker 4: you're not serious?
- 32:43Speaker 3: Here's something.
- 32:46Speaker 4: Remain serious? You agree with me?
- 32:48Speaker 3: By the way, there are some areas where they take
- 32:50Speaker 3: it a little too seriously.
- 32:51Speaker 4: Now is the Vatican too serious for you?
- 32:56Speaker 3: Yeah, calm down, Pope, It's not a big deal anyway.
- 32:59Speaker 4: Um got it, Lightning Bolt, do your thing due.
- 33:03Speaker 3: So here's what I'm getting at ESPN is setting out
- 33:06Speaker 3: for the par three contest Jason Kelsey to go out
- 33:09Speaker 3: and be a commentator for it. This is one of
- 33:12Speaker 3: those areas where I'm actually gonna go a little bit
- 33:14Speaker 3: more like Vick and Moche Augusta wise. From'm like, don't
- 33:17Speaker 3: let the big doofy guy who wears the cutoff das
- 33:20Speaker 3: and just picked up golf go out like that's not
- 33:22Speaker 3: the moment. I got the same thing when I'm watching
- 33:25Speaker 3: the Final four over the weekend, and I love Will Forte.
- 33:28Speaker 3: I think he's hilarious. Having him play some character on
- 33:32Speaker 3: your pregame show before a huge game is ridiculous.
- 33:35Speaker 4: He was playing the character of the inventor of basketball.
- 33:38Speaker 3: Yes, I'm like doctor James Batesmith, if you want to
- 33:41Speaker 3: do that in January when Kansas plays Texas, fine, okay,
- 33:45Speaker 3: but it's the Final five.
- 33:46Speaker 5: I'm so glad it's not me who brought this up,
- 33:48Speaker 5: because if I had brought this.
- 33:50Speaker 4: Up, what would happen? Moses? What kind of response would
- 33:52Speaker 4: we get? Exactly right?
- 33:54Speaker 5: So true, it's the final freaking four. It's basketball Mecca.
- 34:00Speaker 5: This is what you aspire to get to your work
- 34:03Speaker 5: all season, and they're trying to do a comedy act
- 34:06Speaker 5: on television with Will Forte.
- 34:08Speaker 4: What are we doing?
- 34:09Speaker 5: What's wrong with just playing the damn game? What's wrong
- 34:12Speaker 5: with playing? What's wrong with talking about the game the
- 34:14Speaker 5: upcoming opponent? What are we doing with the comedy show
- 34:17Speaker 5: there in the middle of the two games.
- 34:19Speaker 4: It's so stupid.
- 34:20Speaker 3: I imagine, like it's it's the pregame for the Super Bowl,
- 34:24Speaker 3: and then it's like, hey, Bill Hayter is gonna play
- 34:26Speaker 3: step On from SNL out here. It's like, it's not
- 34:28Speaker 3: the time for.
- 34:29Speaker 4: This, and then they throw a concert up there. Oh
- 34:31Speaker 4: look at this concert with the smoker. Can I do?
- 34:34Speaker 8: Can I all of a sudden get boomer on you.
- 34:38Speaker 8: I don't know how else to say this, but chain
- 34:40Speaker 8: smokers blows.
- 34:44Speaker 5: I don't care who they have performing. Why are we
- 34:46Speaker 5: performing things there? I don't play basketball.
- 34:49Speaker 8: I don't know vic and you know what it is,
- 34:50Speaker 8: it's two fret bros.
- 34:53Speaker 4: Who's coming up with this stuff?
- 34:55Speaker 3: Just walk out? I mean it's like I'm coming up
- 34:59Speaker 3: with these ideas.
- 35:00Speaker 4: He is completely wrong place.
- 35:02Speaker 5: And the best, you know, the best pregame postgame show
- 35:06Speaker 5: that exists in all sports.
- 35:07Speaker 4: They're giving us less of that. Oh this is this
- 35:12Speaker 4: is what you hate? Mosh No, I love this. This
- 35:15Speaker 4: is great music. What's your please kill please kill me?
- 35:20Speaker 4: What is your favorite show of all time?
- 35:23Speaker 3: When it comes to that's the perfect mix of breakdown
- 35:26Speaker 3: the game and also give me laughs. Is inside the
- 35:29Speaker 3: NBA and it's not on anymore.
- 35:31Speaker 5: Instead, they're giving you Will Forte playing the role of
- 35:34Speaker 5: doctor James Naismith.
- 35:36Speaker 3: I just I didn't get it. Well, yeah that's me
- 35:39Speaker 3: yelling for a second. Fine, but Will Forte, like again,
- 35:42Speaker 3: I love Will Forte. I think he's hilarious, not the time.
- 35:46Speaker 8: See here's Paul, calm down. We're watching the world pass
- 35:50Speaker 8: you buy in real time. That's what you think is fun, Paul?
- 35:53Speaker 8: Then God bless you.
- 35:54Speaker 4: Good for you, bro.
- 35:55Speaker 5: Whatever happened to just playing the games playing? Whatever happened
- 35:58Speaker 5: to being entertained by the sport itself? Do you need
- 36:01Speaker 5: a comedian to get you into the game?
- 36:04Speaker 4: Really?
- 36:05Speaker 3: That said more about you? Oh, by the way, did
- 36:08Speaker 3: you see what happened in the Edmonton game over the weekend?
- 36:13Speaker 4: Doesn't have anything to do with hockey. Oh, breaking news.
- 36:16Speaker 9: We have word that someone has gone into labor here tonight.
- 36:20Speaker 9: There's a baby being born on the seventh floor at
- 36:23Speaker 9: Rogers Place as we speak.
- 36:24Speaker 4: So someone's gonna have a great story to tell. It
- 36:28Speaker 4: would be nice to have the.
- 36:29Speaker 9: Mother join us in after hours to describe what's happened,
- 36:31Speaker 9: but that could be asking a bit much.
- 36:35Speaker 3: I want to tell you something right now. The birthing
- 36:39Speaker 3: processes of my two children were not ideal. I would say,
- 36:44Speaker 3: if my wife was giving birth inside a ballerina, I
- 36:49Speaker 3: think she'd kill me. I do, yeah, probably well, but
- 36:53Speaker 3: if she's that close, I thought the same thing. Why
- 36:56Speaker 3: are you at the game and maybe it was like early.
- 36:59Speaker 3: I don't know, Like maybe she she went like a
- 37:01Speaker 3: month earlier.
- 37:02Speaker 4: No idea. Sometimes you do things to induce to get
- 37:05Speaker 4: it going. Let's go go for a walk a game.
- 37:08Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to be in a place where it's
- 37:10Speaker 3: eighteen holes. I thought the same thing though, Moje. If
- 37:15Speaker 3: you're close to having birth and we don't know, it
- 37:17Speaker 3: could have been an early one. But let's just say
- 37:20Speaker 3: that this was around her due date. I'm not taking
- 37:23Speaker 3: to a hockey game, sweetie.
- 37:24Speaker 4: Like we are.
- 37:25Speaker 3: I'm not in the position of having to haul ast
- 37:28Speaker 3: to a hospital from a hockey game.
- 37:29Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm assuming that there were medics there, you know,
- 37:32Speaker 8: they called them up and you know.
- 37:33Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I don't think it's just her and her
- 37:35Speaker 3: husband on the seventh floor of Rogers Center.
- 37:37Speaker 8: But typically isn't there isn't there time to get to
- 37:40Speaker 8: the hospital, your water breaks or something, I.
- 37:43Speaker 3: Don't know, you know what their own quite literally though,
- 37:47Speaker 3: that baby is going to be born an oilers like
- 37:50Speaker 3: you have to be.
- 37:51Speaker 10: Speaking of hawk And how do you like the commentator
- 37:53Speaker 10: by the way saying he could we get the mom
- 37:55Speaker 10: on the post game show, Hey, good Berth out there,
- 37:58Speaker 10: what'd you see out there good.
- 38:00Speaker 8: Performing a good point. Patrick Wall fired his head coach
- 38:05Speaker 8: of the Islanders.
- 38:07Speaker 4: What is this?
- 38:08Speaker 3: What's happening here?
- 38:09Speaker 4: Taking over?
- 38:10Speaker 3: Is Pete the boar?
- 38:11Speaker 4: Right? How many times has he been fired? Now? Dud
- 38:14Speaker 4: a lot? So hang on a second. I guess he
- 38:17Speaker 4: wears out his welcome pretty quickly.
- 38:19Speaker 3: I need somebody to explain this, like I'm five years old. Look,
- 38:23Speaker 3: the Nuggets just did this. They fired their coach with
- 38:25Speaker 3: five games left in the season before the playoffs started,
- 38:29Speaker 3: But they didn't hire Phil Jackson to take What is
- 38:31Speaker 3: with hiring the guy outside the organization to like I
- 38:36Speaker 3: think about it this way.
- 38:37Speaker 4: Motion.
- 38:38Speaker 3: You just asked this question of Bed in our last
- 38:39Speaker 3: week when he's on this show. You said, hey, do
- 38:43Speaker 3: you at this point of the year ask guys, hey,
- 38:45Speaker 3: can you play this position? Do you see yourself fitting
- 38:48Speaker 3: over here in this? Can you do a little PK?
- 38:50Speaker 3: And he goes, I don't got to ask that to
- 38:51Speaker 3: McKinnon or mccar I know them. But I'll ask it
- 38:55Speaker 3: to Nick Wah, I'll ask it the Blankenberg. I'll ask
- 38:57Speaker 3: it to the new guys who are on the roster. Now,
- 39:01Speaker 3: this guy's got to do that with everybody in the
- 39:04Speaker 3: locker room, Pete the boor John towrtrelevant.
- 39:06Speaker 4: But what is that?
- 39:09Speaker 3: It makes no sense to me, right, like, what odds
- 39:12Speaker 3: do you give either one of those teams of making
- 39:14Speaker 3: the Stanley Cup Final with a brand new head coach, well.
- 39:17Speaker 4: Talking about Vegas or.
- 39:20Speaker 8: With torts is they've won three in a row now.
- 39:23Speaker 8: But again, this is the old Brian Berg dead cat bounce.
- 39:26Speaker 8: Even a dead cat will give you a bounce if
- 39:28Speaker 8: you throw it from high enough, right, So they called
- 39:31Speaker 8: the dead cat bounce, and so that's what That's what
- 39:35Speaker 8: the Golden Eightes have right now. And they're hope in
- 39:39Speaker 8: I guess in the Islanders they're hoping for the same.
- 39:41Speaker 3: But they're trying to battle to get in the playoffs.
- 39:43Speaker 3: I understand that, but still it's like, what are their
- 39:46Speaker 3: odds of success?
- 39:48Speaker 4: I Brett, only time will tell. Doesn't make sense to me.
- 39:55Speaker 3: You guys want to hear what it sounds like if
- 39:57Speaker 3: you take a foul tip off another region on Easter Sunday?
- 40:05Speaker 4: Aye, Yeah, I'm.
- 40:09Speaker 8: Ramp the easter basket somethe right in the easter basket,
- 40:13Speaker 8: I saw that What game was that?
- 40:16Speaker 4: That was? I I saw the highlight now he helped me.
- 40:19Speaker 4: I got it. Oh, I got it. Here it is
- 40:21Speaker 4: Cubs guardians.
- 40:22Speaker 3: Subs guardians. Yeah, foul tip to the catcher right off.
- 40:27Speaker 4: The cup, the easter basket.
- 40:29Speaker 10: You can hear the commentator's voice break just for a second,
- 40:32Speaker 10: where he goes, oh, am, I really going to do this.
- 40:34Speaker 4: The easter basket.
- 40:35Speaker 5: Okay, chances, let me ask this question this way. I'm
- 40:39Speaker 5: soon to be fifty seven years of age. First time
- 40:42Speaker 5: I've ever seen anything like.
- 40:43Speaker 4: What Joe Adell did the other night. Three games run
- 40:48Speaker 4: saving catches.
- 40:49Speaker 3: Into the robberies.
- 40:50Speaker 4: Yeah, saving he did in one game. Yeah, I'm gonna
- 40:55Speaker 4: say this.
- 40:56Speaker 5: I will never see that again in my lifetime. That's
- 40:58Speaker 5: a safe, great, a great, Well, it's.
- 41:00Speaker 3: Never happened before. Yeah, there's again. The stat is the
- 41:04Speaker 3: most in a season is four. He had three in
- 41:07Speaker 3: a single nine inning stretch.
- 41:09Speaker 4: That's absolutely not.
- 41:11Speaker 5: So what is the true definition of home run saving?
- 41:14Speaker 5: Does your arm have to be in the stands?
- 41:16Speaker 8: At least it's the ball's got The ball would be
- 41:18Speaker 8: over the fence if it wasn't, your glove wasn't there?
- 41:21Speaker 3: The balls out of the park, Yeah, that's unreal.
- 41:25Speaker 8: The walls shorter, well, no, not the right field wall,
- 41:30Speaker 8: but it curves Angel stateiument curves around.
- 41:33Speaker 3: It's like a ball shorter. I mean it's shorter because
- 41:37Speaker 3: there's some over.
- 41:40Speaker 5: A regular wall, like nobody's jumping over the green monsters.
- 41:44Speaker 3: Correct one last thing real quick, because we're gonna have
- 41:47Speaker 3: our second half.
- 41:49Speaker 4: Whimy Weby's closed. Might might get there.
- 41:54Speaker 3: So I heard John Butcher gross he was on I
- 41:57Speaker 3: think it was the Chicklets podcast talking about why he
- 42:00Speaker 3: thinks Wrensky should win the Norris. And again, I'm not
- 42:04Speaker 3: stumping for Kale or kind of over the awards conversation
- 42:08Speaker 3: to be cool if he wins, but his reasoning for
- 42:10Speaker 3: it's ridiculous.
- 42:11Speaker 6: If I have another vote this year I had for
- 42:12Speaker 6: about last four, not for Coach of the Year, but
- 42:14Speaker 6: for all the other ones, MVP, Norris, Rookie, I'm counting
- 42:16Speaker 6: the gold medal game in my voting. That's Bouchie's rule
- 42:20Speaker 6: that counts. So if it's close, Zacharwensky wins the Norse
- 42:24Speaker 6: because he made that plague that counts.
- 42:26Speaker 4: That's a weighted vote that year forgot. Okay, all right,
- 42:28Speaker 4: that's fair.
- 42:28Speaker 3: Canadians are gonna love hearing this Boochie, thanks for joining.
- 42:32Speaker 4: Coope wins the gold medal.
- 42:33Speaker 6: Maybe he's my coach of the year, but I'm not
- 42:35Speaker 6: sure now I view that as more of a distraction.
- 42:37Speaker 3: You had to worry about doing all that and then
- 42:39Speaker 3: and on top their course, he was unbelievable in that game.
- 42:42Speaker 4: I don't know if you're in an advanced analytics guy.
- 42:44Speaker 3: That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, that you're
- 42:46Speaker 3: gonna use something outside the NHL season to decide who's
- 42:49Speaker 3: gonna win awards for the NHL season. Is that not
- 42:52Speaker 3: the dumbest thing ever?
- 42:53Speaker 4: Silly? It's silly. He should be embarrassed by that.
- 42:55Speaker 5: Yes, to say that into a microphone in the sport
- 42:58Speaker 5: that he works in, that sport, that's a silly statement
- 43:01Speaker 5: to make.
- 43:01Speaker 3: Hey, vic my m v P vote. It's down to
- 43:05Speaker 3: Jokic and and one had a really good All Star game,
- 43:09Speaker 3: so I think I'm gonna give him the nod.
- 43:10Speaker 4: It's it's silly, it's so dumb. It's dumb.
- 43:13Speaker 3: Yep, Well, you're allowed to comment on that.
- 43:15Speaker 5: You don't have to stay silent. You're allowed to say
- 43:17Speaker 5: that's dumb. It's not something that with you.
- 43:22Speaker 4: I watched Bob does sports that episode. It was great.
- 43:27Speaker 3: He was likable, He really was.
- 43:29Speaker 4: You know what made him likable?
- 43:31Speaker 5: I think it is because he's really bad at golf. Yeah,
- 43:33Speaker 5: and when when people humble themselves, when the humility is shown, right,
- 43:40Speaker 5: like every his t shots.
- 43:42Speaker 4: Oh wa wait wait.
- 43:42Speaker 8: Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait you're telling me
- 43:44Speaker 8: they actually play golf with this Bob guy.
- 43:46Speaker 4: I thought it was just a positive guy. It's it's
- 43:48Speaker 4: it's three other bobs.
- 43:50Speaker 5: Bob is one, Bob is the lead guy, but it's
- 43:52Speaker 5: three other dudes they played golf with with Lebron and they.
- 43:56Speaker 4: I just thought it was just a podcast.
- 43:57Speaker 5: No, no, the swing the club and as a group
- 44:01Speaker 5: they're trying to go under par It's what did we
- 44:04Speaker 5: do that?
- 44:05Speaker 4: Well? Any any amount of people could do that show.
- 44:08Speaker 4: By the way, I don't understand what makes that show.
- 44:11Speaker 4: So what did you say, Vick?
- 44:13Speaker 5: I don't know what makes that show so funny to you.
- 44:15Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think those guys are that funny.
- 44:18Speaker 5: I thought Lebron was great.
- 44:19Speaker 3: I think they were a little starstruck.
- 44:20Speaker 5: But really, because I watched some other episodes, okay, because
- 44:23Speaker 5: I thought those guys are like.
- 44:24Speaker 3: Okay, well, one of the reasons. One of the reasons
- 44:26Speaker 3: I liked it.
- 44:27Speaker 4: And look, they're not funny.
- 44:30Speaker 5: They are like I watched the show, like at no point,
- 44:37Speaker 5: at no point during the show that I go, oh
- 44:39Speaker 5: my god.
- 44:40Speaker 3: All right, all right, yeah one episode.
- 44:42Speaker 4: Hey got it.
- 44:42Speaker 3: You know everything about the show.
- 44:44Speaker 8: You know, here's one thing I can promise you. On
- 44:45Speaker 8: their program. Mary did not have a little clam.
- 44:48Speaker 3: That is that is true. I'm sure she did. But
- 44:52Speaker 3: what I was gonna say was the thing that I
- 44:53Speaker 3: think made Lebron likable. And this is a pretty low
- 44:55Speaker 3: bar to set. He didn't act above them exactly.
- 45:00Speaker 4: He he acquiesced to what they're what they're doing.
- 45:03Speaker 3: Really, yeah, that's what I think. That's the reason he
- 45:06Speaker 3: came off as likable.
- 45:07Speaker 8: I'm gonna check it out and I'll see if they
- 45:10Speaker 8: make me laugh. Maybe I'm pre judging.
- 45:12Speaker 3: Just watch another episode, Just watch another one. I think
- 45:15Speaker 3: that a little start.
- 45:16Speaker 4: Give me one, give me one, send you one.
- 45:17Speaker 3: I'll send you one.
- 45:18Speaker 4: Please send one to me too.
- 45:19Speaker 3: Three oh three, five, four, nine, five.
- 45:21Speaker 4: See by the last five minutes, we'll push exactly.
- 45:24Speaker 3: The drop tournament, I.
- 45:25Speaker 4: Mean, bread left at anything.
- 45:27Speaker 5: I mean, this thing was like an hour and a half.
- 45:29Speaker 5: It took me everything. I was watching it during the workout.
- 45:31Speaker 5: I don't know who the hell watches an hour and
- 45:33Speaker 5: a half thing, right.
- 45:35Speaker 3: Jesus, we'll get to the drop tournament voting in just
