• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Suits a podcast called twenty five West Stocky Soccer and
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: they are well.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: A whizz, So yeah, it's too bad, but what did
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: you expect.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It's a podcast called twenty five Wist.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: So.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: Everybody, we will talk NBA too in a little bit.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: We just wanted to yell soccer, yeah, yeah, and super stuff.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: All right, Eddie Blood. I have a bunch of notes here.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: We didn't do an episode last week because we're on vacation.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: But the first note that I have, and this is
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: going to go back a few days, but Germany lost
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: their game and they went to penalty kicks, which, by
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: the way, the most American awesome thing about soccer is
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: when they go to penalty kicks, Like, just call me.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Penalty kicks are happening for the most part, and to me,
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: soccer still kind of boring. But baseball is also boring,
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: and I like baseball, so it's just what you grew
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: up with me not watching a lot of soccer. All right,
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: shoot it, shoot it, shoot it. Oh, I know you're
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: half court whatever that's called. Shoot it from back there.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: I guess this is me the whole time. Yeah, I
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: have been enjoying the World Cup and when people go
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: soccer's boring. I can agree a little, but I go, yeah,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: but baseball sucks too, and I like baseball. If you
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: just came and you never watched baseball and a baseball
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: game came on, we wait all this time? Yeah, pitch,
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: okayall pitch another one. It sucks unless you grew up
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: watching it. That being said, I was watching that Germany
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: game and they go and they take penalty kicks and
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Germany ends up losing. This has been a bit, but
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: the note I made is after the game, and after
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Germany loses, they went to multiple players to take those
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: penalty kicks. I think three of them said no, I
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: don't want to do it. And the guy who finally
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: took the last penalty kick, who ended up getting blocked
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: or missing maybe he went over he was like, yeah,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: I'll do it, but three players said no. And you
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: can look us up. Because it's been like six days.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I was in shock that these professional players playing for
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: their own country turned down taking penalty kicks because of
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: the pressure of the situation. What losers four of them?
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: It was a four read to me what you see
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: and where it's from.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: Four German players reportedly refuse to step up for the
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: decisive six penalty kick because they went to extra kicks
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: because they were tied at the end, and they then
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: they go to sudden death penalty kicks.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: By the way, call me twice when that happens. Penalty kicks.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Awesome sudden death penalty kicks, Like make sure I answer, yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: keep going.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah. This is from barstools, So they posted it talking
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: about mentally weak German Germany players.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Mentally said yeah.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Four players said no. They have their names here and
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: I can't pronounce.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: The last guy they went to is the only guy left,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: and he's like, okay, I'll do it. And he had
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: never taken a professional penalty kick. I don't think ever.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Jonathan tah T, a h who had never taken
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: a penalty kick in his career, stepped up and missed.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: I hope they don't bust his balls when he gets
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: back to Germany or wherever he's going back to, because
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: he is the only one of those guys with the
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: nuts to do it, because everybody else is a little
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: that'll be yep, And I was thinking about us. The
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: only one of us I could see doing that would
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: be Eddie. No, like not wanting the pressure of it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's funny you say that because I was
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: listening to the you know that this whole part, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: I'm like, wow, well, I bet when that guy missed
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: the four, we're just like, see, that's not me because
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: I would have missed too.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but what if you make it, then you're the hero,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: So just go do it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, trained your whole life to have this opportunity, even
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: if you miss it. I would be sick at myself
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: for being a little worse and not even trying.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the regret of not trying is worse.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: Worse than did the story come out later that they
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: said no, or were they are on TV saying.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Like, oh no, no, But that would have been funny. No, no, no,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: go to that guy. That would have been good tea because.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: I wonder if they thought, like, well, this will never
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: get out, maybe just say no.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Maybe, Oh I would be if you're a teammate, I'd
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: be like that guy said no, that guy said no,
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: that guy said no.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: It sucked. I felt bad for the guy who had
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: to take it and that he missed it, and then
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: whenever I wanted him to lose by the way, because
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: don't remember who they were playing, but I was rooting
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: for that other team because I think they were a
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: smaller team. But Paraguay, Yeah, oh yeah, Paraguay played France
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: within one.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Isn't that who the US beating the first game team?
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: That's right, so we're better than Germany.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: But Eddie, I would see you as a guy who's like,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: you know what, Pressure's not for me.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I mean I don't like pressure.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but I feel like if I had made it
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: all the way to the World Cup, I have to
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: do it. It's my duty for that and for my nation,
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: for my country to kick that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: You wouldn't want to let people down, right, I.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: Mean that kind of that's kind of like my personal person. Yeah,
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: I don't really want to let people down.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I don't give a crap. I'll let people down. But also,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: if I'm letting you down, it's because I really want
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: to make you happy, and I'm letting you down because
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: I want it so bad for this to happen. So
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: that's what's up. I made that note because I could
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: not believe those professional athletes said.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: No about penalty kicks, though, oh.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Give me more. I wish the whole game was that.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Why don't they just kick it in the middle, well,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: because the goal is already there. Yeah, but they always jump, well,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: they do kick.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: It in the middle some I did see one recently
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: where they kicked in the middle.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: And the guy didn't move and he caught it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: No, he jumped to the side.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: Because usually I'm seeing these guys like, all right, I
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: got a pick you that left or right or up
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: or down door? Yeah, and usually the middle is wide open,
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: but they you know, no one kicks it down in
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: the middle.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know the reasoning because I am an extreme casual.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: I'm talking, I'm barely even casual. I'm like, what would
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: I be someone who accidentally drives by occasionally? You know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: it's like yeah, yeah, so even calling myself a casual
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: is unfair. I would think, though, if I'm just thinking
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: of the science of it, if you kick it to
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: a side, there's a chance that even if they jump
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: to that side, it still gets through. If you kick
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: it in the middle and they don't move, you're just
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: gonna hit them, but they're for sure going to stop it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: I think kicking it to a side gives you a
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: chance to get it through even if they picked the
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: right side. And we saw that in one of those
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: kicks because the guy blocked it and rolled underneath them.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: So I don't know the real answer. But they don't
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: kick it to the middle often, but probably because of that, you.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Guys think they should bring on like a short, smaller
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: goal for the Yeah, well hockey didn't bring honestall. But
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying like hockey's a lot harder on the
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: shootouts than it is for a PK.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: I feel like, did I do two balls on this one?
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: You did two balls?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Man, the two balls will be fine ball game. Yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: two ball game.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: And then one of thee was real, the other one's fake.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know which one's real and fake when
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: it starts. But it's like the cup game at the
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: baseball game when you're watching them under like if they're
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: start kicking it back and forth all of a sudden, you
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: don't know, you could lose it. Yeah, then you're chasing
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: the wrong one.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Brilliant man, Why don't we just do that?
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Just do it in the last fifteen and it's an
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: extra time even that would be fun. Okay, Okay, that's
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: one note, and we'll get to current stuff in a minute.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: You guys, following the Matt Miller from ESPN story.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: No, I haven't seen anything like a week.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Is there more?
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: No, what did Matt Miller do?
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Do you know who Matt Miller is?
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: No?
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: So he is a draft analyst for ESPN. Now why
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: he popped up in the news recently? He hit another
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: car head on, lost his arm, and he was doing
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: a GoFundMe and it hit a certain point like ten thousand,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: and he did what I hate when people do when
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: they have gofundmes. He said, Oh, I'm a ten thousand,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: let me raise it twenty five. I hate when people
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: do that. Yeah, I want to take my money back
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: when people do that, because that just means, oh, you
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: met your goal. Oh now you see the opportunity to
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: make more like set of high then if you really
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: need a trillion dollars, set it at a trillion dollars.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: So he did it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I think he raised it twice, so that's a little irritating.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: He did lose his arm and it's a bad accident. Well,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: story started to come out and please pull it up,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: so I'd love to be I won't say fact check
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: because I know what I'm going to say is right
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: based on what I read he was running ninety ninety
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: fantasy football leagues, and so he was the commissioner in
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: ninety leagues, and he's on an app that we use
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: in the league that I do do with Kevin Klug
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: and people were not getting paid. Now, I think you're
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: the commissioner of ninety league. You've taken all that money
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: in woh it's one hundred thousand dollars or so.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: So these aren't like leagues that your buddies play in, right,
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: These are leagues that like random people fans or whatever doing.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Sure, it can be random league set up on the app.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: It can be you get your public figure. Hey, I'm
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: doing this fantasy league jump out. He was a commissioner
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: of ninety leagues, took the money and like was slow
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: then slowly starting. There's a whole I think the Missouri
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Attorney General is now looking into it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're investigating right now.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Crazy story.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: What are the heck?
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Some people are speculating, pure speculation, that he was in
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: trouble so he tried to kill.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Himself in the car accident. It did involve another car though, right,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: what do you.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: See in that story?
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: I just see that they're investigating. I'm trying to look for.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: More source me if you take anything specific from the article.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, the investigation and the Miller comes after he was
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: accused of past financial improper proper.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: You can get it rock pride for priety.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: That's a hard word.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: That is weird.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I buy numerous people both on social media and
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: by awful announcing this is USA today dot com. By
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: the way, several individuals outline they had failed to receive
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: payments for fantasy football leagues, football camps, and scouting lessons
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: in which Miller was involved in.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Dirty dollars like ninety leagues. Dang man, So that happened,
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: It's crazy story. I didn't know if that popping your
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: algorithms at all.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I saw the accident, but.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I haven't seen anything since. He was like, oh,
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: you know, I'll be on the road recovery. Like I
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: was like, dang, I feel awful for him.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Still yeah you still can but yeah, arm Yeah that sucks.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Another note that I have in summer league, as far
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: as the NBA is concerned, they're doing the one free
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: throw rule. I love it. So let's say you get found,
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: you got two free throws, you shoot one free throw
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: for both both points.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they do that in my kids summer league.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: It's the greatest. It's like the pitch clock. There's no
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: need shoots free throw keep the game going, no need
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: to do two free throws, no need to do three.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: If you get fouled a three pointer, you do three.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Now they they do in the last two minutes. I believe,
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: go back to normal rules of the game.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: But they don't do that in my kids.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Legue the pressure it's on.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they just don't want to do any
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: like stupid rules because this could be considered stupid at
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: the end of a game. Although it's summer league. So
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: who gets a cry out?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: So what do you like? Just the speed of it?
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Yep, let's move. When we get to sit and wait,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: take a couple of deep breaths, especially if Whimmy's doing it,
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: it's thirty five freaking seconds before he shoots.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Well he does a little yoga before.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and there and there's gonna be more missed free throws,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: which I like because that first one is missed way
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: more than the second one because you kind of calibrate
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: if you missed the first one to the second one.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Correct. Usually they make the second one. Yeah, except Mitchell Robinson.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he kind of suck.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: He throws.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: He takes a long time and misses the free throw.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: At your guy, though, I gotta be ask my guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: Now, you just all right taking shots? Alright, you're a
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: new guys, my guy, all right, you're talking about the champions.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: About your new guy though, Like, God, do you play
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: in the NBA, dude, Like, you know what, all off season,
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: we're gonna work on free throws.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Forget the big man moves, forget the rebounds. We are
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: going to work on free throws.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: That's all he makes his money, though, Dude, he gets
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: there to make your money rebounding, playing defense, being the
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: tough guy. Like, hey, man, if you have a weakness
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: in your game, it's all right. He's still getting paid
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: forty seven million dollars and pay.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about winning games.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Also, I would like to say this. I think if
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: you're a guard, Yes, I think if you're a big man,
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: it's harder. One you're way taller the ball, your hands
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: are bigger on the ball. It's harder to shoot free throws.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: If you're a larger person, sure, because you're more you're
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: top of your heads more parallel with the rim not
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: it's why. Yeah, and you have to shoot it up
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: higher to get so that's a part of the science
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: of it. But I agree, there are big guys who
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: can shootree throws pretty well.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just work on it.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: Most can.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: But we were talking to the Texas Tech coach. I said, hey, like,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: how do you get your team to be better free
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: throw shooters? And he goes, you recruit better free throw shooters. Yes, like,
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: you don't teach them. If you want good free throw shooters,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: you recruit better free throw shooters.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: But they became better free throw shooters by practicing.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but they are kind of have those they did
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: that already, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, if it matters
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: to them.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: Yes, it's crazy, dude, Mitchell Robinson just takes forever the
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: line and then missus both shots.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: I understand that. Like, if you're gonna miss it, just
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: miss it and let's move on.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'm for the rule. Yeah, I like I like.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Speeding the game you do and everything you watch.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, let's move it along, let's go. Okay, that's another
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: note I have there. I want to get to this
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: one in a minute. This note is us soccer is corrupt.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Let's see the World Cup or US soccer.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: We're corrupt right now. Where's corrupt? Is anything I've ever
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: seen interesting?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: The red card?
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Yes, come back to that. I felt weird last night
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: watching that game. It was a by the way, I
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: think that's the greatest environment I've ever seen in any
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: athletic endeavor, ever, any sporting event ever, more so than
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Alabama LSU and freaking Depth Valley.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: That's the stadium where I told you where they throw
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: the p that's the stadium.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: That's all the cowboys there throw. Yeah.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they throw like they pee and bottles and they
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: throw it down in the field.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Or you didn't go to that game. No, she's never
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: been out of the country.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: No, I've been in Mexico many times, Mexico City.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: I thought you had never been.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Can you have a passport, dude?
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: You didn't need a passport when I was young, birth certificate.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: So did you guys watch that Mexico England game.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a little bit.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: It was awesome.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: It was Yeah, my eyes were I couldn't stop me either.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: I've never seen anything like it. Soccer is boring. That
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: was not boring. It wasn't because of soccer. That entire stadium.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: They did not stop. I don't know that. To me,
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: I was that was a magnetic television event. If you
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: never watched soccer and that's the game you watch, you going, okay,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: maybe they little kicky kick, it gets kind of boring,
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: but the environment, the vibe, yeah why. And also was
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: a crazy game because it was zero zero, then it
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: was one, there's two, oh, there's one, two, all within
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: like a few minutes and you're going, oh my god.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: So I got some thoughts. It felt weird every time
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: they would call them Mexicans. I'll be honest with you.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Did the announcer say the Mexicans.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah. A couple of times they were like, okay, over
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: to the Mexicans. And I'm like, I won't refer to
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: a group as Hispanic or Mexican people as the Mexicans
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: because and I we have our I have my Mexican
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: group thread that we do and it's me and all
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: my Mexican friends. See, although Eddie never jumped in.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I don't like text threads.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this this one was fun.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I don't like it.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: You didn't the Mexican one last night?
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: I was asleep, dude, I didn't watch the game. I
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: was asleep.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: The first thing I said, which I thought was funny,
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I said, how is there a black dude named?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: That's what I remember me telling you. There's a black
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: dude in the Mexican team.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: I thought it was gonna be like Wilson.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I just saw him, like, wow, that's interesting, Like.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: His dad moved down, married a Mexican woman. His name
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: is Sean Wilson.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: And he's not a dark dude. He's a black dude dude.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: And I thought there's a Mexican dude named and so
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: I sent that to the group text and Mike just
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: responded with the Mexican flags. That was only response to it.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: And then Mike Sigin said, you never heard a study abroad.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: That's funny. That's what you guys said on the text thread.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: It was popping last night. I mean, in this thread,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: I am an honorary Mexican because it's all my Hispanic
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: and Mexicans.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're not the white guy.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: I'm part of the culture in his texture because it's
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: actually called lifelong Latino cowboy fan, because everybody's a cowboy
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: fan except for me.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're Latinos.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I got that.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: All of us. N I said, it feels racist. They
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: keep referring to the people as Mexicans, and then Signs said,
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: as long as there isn't an adjective in front of it,
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: it's cool.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Like dumb Mexican, he said, like fast, mean or dirty.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: No sun sign is Mexicans.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: Say that, Yeah, but it just for But they don't
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: say that for any They don't say like, oh, the
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: Germans have the baby, they say Germany has.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: They do say Germans though, the Germans, Yeah they do,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: they do. Yeah. It just felt weird that they would
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: be like, okay, and here come the Mexicans. I'm like,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: I didn't say no, no, no, no, no, no, not for me.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: I'm getting offended because I am one in this text thread.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: That game was really good the last twenty twenty five
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: minutes when they were down to ten and they were
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: just like on the defense England was I was like,
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: oh my gosh, it was like hockey when they're down
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: a guy and it's just NonStop, go go go.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: I was rooting for Mexico really hard. I don't know
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: if you white.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: People were, Yeah, who are you white people rooting for?
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Not you us, the US.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Mexico. Yeah, I don't, dude, I'm from something. Call at
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: forty Mexican friends I have.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: He did.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: I got a black friend. I got a black friend.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Hey, do you know one?
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: I'm the token white guys too.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: All right, I'm not toking white in this.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I'm the what did you call it? Uh?
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: A Latino?
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: You people?
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: What do you mean? What do you mean? You people?
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: And your Mexican friends? Wild game? And at the end,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: I said, it makes me proud to be a Mexican.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Good dude, guys, and then we did some salutes and
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: we called it. That was a really amazing game. I
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: felt bad for Mexico's running for them really hard. But
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: what I did because there's been some guys that I've
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: looked up because I'm just curious how good they are
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: outside of the World Cup, Like are they good club players?
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Where do they play? Do they play in the Premier League?
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: Do they play? And I learned about all these different leagues,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: and so I'm gonna tell you what I looked up
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: and share this because I thought it was pretty interesting.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: I said, compare these three players. So have you seen
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Arling Holland the guy from Norway, six foot four. It
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: kicks the ball so freaking hard and he's awesome. He
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: had a brace. He had a brace?
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Is I'll just learned, no two.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Goals hat Trick's three? Bracey? Yeah, never heard that he
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: had a brace yesterday? Yep. Oh, guys, I'm totally in.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: My first thing is is Harry Kine good because he
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: was the captain of the England team. And then I'm
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: obsessed with the Erling Holland guy. And then I said, okay,
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: compare Arling Holland from Norway, Harry Kine from England, and
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Christian Polistic from America to NFL and NBA players, so
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: I have a better idea of how good they are
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: and what they're like in soccer. It's awesome. But they
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: gave me back because I like feel like I know
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: what their jobs are now. Okay. I think these comparisons
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: will make sense if you watch mostly NFL and NBA.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: Earling Holland from Norway NFL comparison, Randy Moss NBA comparison.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Shaquille O'Neill freak athlete, physically overwhelming, does not need a
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: million touches. Give him opportunities. He changes the game. He
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: is built to dominate, so the Norway did. He's six
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: four to two ten. By the way, he looks like
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: a monster. It's like him and a bunch of kids
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: playing it, like when he scores and they celebrate like Daddy,
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: you did it. They run around him. Okay, so he
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: is freak athlete. Harry Kane, the guy from England last
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: night tim against Yip, Yeah, who looks like he works
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: at the smoothie shop, like he's just a normal white dude.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: His NFL comparison is Peyton Manning. His his NBA comparison
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: is Jokic. Not the biggest athletic marvel, but incredibly intelligent,
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: elite scorer who also creates for everyone else. His vision
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: is almost as valuable as is finishing. Both are elite,
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: so he's very much really good, but also really smart.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Manning and Jokic. Uh Polisic from the United States, Christian McCaffrey,
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Donovan Mitchell, quick, explosive a tax defenders one on one,
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: creates offense with speed and skill, does not overpower people,
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: but beats them with agility and timing. So there you go.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: If they were NFL stars, Norway Holland Randy Moss catching
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: de balls doesn't need fifteen touches Caine. Like Peyton, Manning
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: reads the field, makes everyone around a better holistic like McCaffrey.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Every touch is dangerous, versatile enough to score set someone
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: else up.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's cool.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: That makes sense. Now in my head, I can watch
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: them and be.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Like, that's christ because I need to know, so I
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: need to dumb it down. I find a common de
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: nomine American sports and then yeah, so that's what I do,
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Ai man, you use it right?
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: I turned to like take over people and rule the country.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Need those data centers. Though maybe for.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: This I'm up. I start to I start to fight
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: for the one by the zoo here in Townhi, guys, no, no, no,
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: I think we need the one to help me understand
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: the world.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Come privately funding.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Okay, let's see. I got felt weird them saying Mexicans.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: I got the three players in their comps.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: What about last night's game? I just thought about it.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: I got two more notes. I gotta get rid of
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: these notes. Start interrupt. Okay, two more notes before I
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: can put my phone down. The Mexican fans outside the
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: England hotels messed up due so funny. Now they will
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: do this in college football sometimes, but not to this level.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: They're like playing drums, they were shooting fireworks.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: They were NonStop music. They had mariachi out there playing.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: They found where the English team was playing and they
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: just played and that's so funny.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: They did it outside their hotel.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: I saw that they were on like a bridge or something, right, yeah,
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: and then England like they got a bunch of hotels
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: so they couldn't find them, but.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: They laugh out loud type stuff. And then I was
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: I saw one of the guys being interviewed and he
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: was like, I think this. I think there's like music.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: We're just doing it because we want you know, they're
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: not from here, so we want to play them some music.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: So yeah, that was funny. Okay, I have one other thing,
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: but it's gonna be the last thing. What were we
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: gonna say?
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: I was just gonna ask if you guys might might
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: know like the stuff they had on their head the
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: Mexican players, like a little brace or something said Mexican.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you about the one guy because I
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: looked at players. We really need a data center because
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: I looked this up. Okay, by the zoo, we need
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: ride by the Zebras. So the guy that has like
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: like an eye patch but a thing on his face. Yes, okay,
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: and to let me fine.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Oh that wasn't an eye patch.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: No, No, he's to be fun Sometimes he turns it
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: and puts it on as an ips.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: That's what I thought.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Yes, here we go. Jimenez fractured a skull in twenty
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: twenty in a match, like he hit heads with somebody else,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: fractured a skull, and he wears the band to protect it.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: So it's like a hard shield on the cheek or something.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: So it's like when NBA players have a broken nose.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: They wear the mask when he scores, though, sometimes he
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: does put it up and where does an eyebrais to
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: be funny, I would do that, yeah, Jimenez, Right, Mike, Yeah,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: he fractured a skull. Wow, dude, I'm I'm balls deep
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: in Ai watching soccer. I just want to learn everything
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: about it.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Have you ever hit a header? It hurts?
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: It hurts so bad, not even ahead or just someone
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: throws the ball and I'm like, get that out.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: They act like it's no big deal. Every time. I
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: would be like, ow, my head hurts.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Maybe if you're aggressive towards it. It's different, but it's
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: still that's got to be a callous head, right, Like
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: you got to build into it.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: But what about the brain. The brain's shaking every time, right.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: More people get concussions in soccer than football.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard that.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: I've heard that before. Okay, America's we're cheating.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's hear this.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Well, no, we're cheating. So it doesn't matter if you
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: agree with the ruling or not. So I gotta say that.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: So first of all, that red card that we got,
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: I'm such a casual. I just want to say it again.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: I'm not speaking from anything other than just watching and
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: then reading a bunch of stuff. I don't think we
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: should have got a red card for that. During the game,
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: they went back, they go to the system. I think
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: they use the same.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: AI I use.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: He doesn't types it in and they go, okay, red card,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: so they kick him out. That was unfair. It wasn't unfair.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: It was an interpretation because he did step on them,
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: although it looked like very easily, it shouldn't have been
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: a red card. But he's got a red card. He's
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: out that game, he's out the next game. It's like
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: targeting in college football. Yes, yeah, second half, Yeah, you're
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: out first first half of the next game. Except this
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: is a full, full game, so that sucks. And he's,
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: you know, our second best scorer. Yeah, like pulistics one,
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: he's two. He's been scoring. He's red cards. That's done.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: They've only ever reversed one of the red card. It
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: was like nineteen sixty eight or something.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: Sixty two.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, some some, So all right, we're gonna play. We
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: were still slightly a betting.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Favorite over Belgium even with him missing.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Even with him missing, and next man up here to
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: think about us in America? We keep next guy up.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Amen.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden, red card's been overturned. Turns out
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: the White House called stop. Oh did you not know this?
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: No?
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't know that. That's why. Yeah, I
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: thought FIFA.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Trump called FIFA, who then called the independent governing body
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: and they overturned the card.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: What on earth?
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: And I'm all for winning and I love that our
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: guy gets to play, except it sucks. He shouldn't play.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: He shouldn't play.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: It puts such a big target on our back.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: And not only that, it's like we win this, it's
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: like yeah, of course you won. You cheated, and soccer
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: is so corrupt anyway. It's like Don King. It's what
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: it reminds me of, just boxing promoters in general.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: And all the line on the field.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: I don't care about that.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I know, no, that's theatrics every single time.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: But I feel like the World Cup gets given to
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: like Qatar because they gave him. I feel like it's
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: very corrupt, and we complained about it, but now we're
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: a part of it. It is so cool. This is
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: the worst cheating. It's bladant. The White House admitted they
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: called this is Trump in a press conference maybe even
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: this morning talking about it.
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: So I saw the play, and I'm a person that
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: loves sports and was a good athlete. I understand sports
• 26:34
  Speaker 8: really well. And that wasn't a foul. That wasn't even
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: an infraction. There was two guys running full speed that
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: happened to crash into each other.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: And pause up one second.
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: Referee.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter if it was a foul or not.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: After the game, it doesn't matter the ref called it.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: The rule is the ref calls it. That stands. They
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: even came out the day after it said we can't
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: review it. It is not within what we can do
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: to review. This red card stands. They said that. So
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: that being said, I agree, it did not look like
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: a red card to me. But that doesn't matter because
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: once the game is over and the call is made,
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: it is complete.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Who is a little.
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: Bit suspect if you check his past. I don't want
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: to say that because I don't like to create controversy,
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: but very suspect. He made a call that nobody could believe.
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: You know, our best player or one of our best players,
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: a very any gave him a red card. I didn't
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: know what that meant. I didn't think it meant much.
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: Then I started hearing that that means you can't play
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: in the next game, at least in the next game.
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: And they say you can't play. That's very unfair that.
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: You know, it's one thing to penalize somebody for the game,
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: but how do you penalize them for a game that
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: hasn't been played yet. It's very unfair.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: You can't do that.
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: So yes, I asked for a review by FIFA. I
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: spoke to a man who's highly respected and by the way,
• 27:56
  Speaker 8: whose level of respect has gone up tenfold.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: We cheated, We cheated. It sucks. I still hope we
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: win and I'll be cheering tonight like crazy. But we cheated.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: That's so bad. I didn't know that. That's how it
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: went down.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: Everyone hates us, yeah, and now more. And I'm okay
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: with being the villain.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: If I'm the villain because you just don't like something
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: I'm doing or saying you don't agree with me, that's fine.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: I never want to be the villain because you think
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: I'm cheating. We're cheating, But is this par for the
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: course in soccer? But you can never complain about corruption
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: or cheating again if you're also doing it. This is
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: the most bladed most of the time. When it happens,
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: you're like, okay, some fishy is happening here. Guitars getting
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: the World Cup, this is yeah. I called yeah, it
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: was unreviewable. They came out the next dance that it
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: cannot be reviewed based on the rules of the World Cup.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: We cannot review done. If our Belgium I consider not playing.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: And they filed an appeal and that already that got
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: denied because they think they.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: Appelled a trump.
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: But if they don't play, then they forfeit and they're
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: out but just to make a statement, don't play.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: It would piss me off that bad that I think
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: I would go, especially if I thought I was gonna lose. Yeah,
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: because then you don't. Then you don't lose. Yeah, And
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: you stood, you stood.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: You stood your ground.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Ye.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: I want to win tonight. I'll be rooting hard. We cheated.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: That sucks. I wanted to play without him and win.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: If I were him, i'd have I'd have trouble playing.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: I was wondering that too. Is like, can you play
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: and like feel good about it if you're him?
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: No, I can't. There's no way.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: I don't like it.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: I don't like it, A little sour taste in your mouth.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: It's definitely dirty.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: I don't like it.
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: So then Trump call and reverse the des Bryant catch call, because.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: I would love that.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Oh man, that would be so great.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I call the NFL.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I was looking at the table.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: I know sports pretty well as an athlete myself, but
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: I didn't know what a red card was.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Right, he got the ball, and then you've got Brian.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, dude, that's funny. All right, let's take
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: a break. We'll talk NBA in a second. All right.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: We got one of my favorites on while Law Murray
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: is back with us. And by the way, if you
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: want to go follow him, Law Murray the in U,
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: we'll go back to that in just a second. I
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: do want to start with what you want to start with,
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: and I want to kind of lay out the menu.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Law we can do Jaylen Brown, we can do Kawhi,
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: we can do Walker Kessler in the whole Lakers situation,
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: John Morant or Lebron It's a it's a menu, and
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: I want you to lead us.
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well it's your show. I'll just say that. And
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: I'll also say that I have a new story up
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: at the Athletic Monday morning because I finally was able
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: to look at what left with the Clippers. I think
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: the bigger story obviously was Kawhi leaving and what that
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: part of it was Kawhi actually not being a Clipper
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: for the first time in eight seasons. But the Clippers
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: aren't going to play basketball, I can I can confirm that,
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: and that means they will have non Kawhi Leonard players
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: on their team. So that is new. That is what
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: it was fresh up of mine. I will I'll just
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: say that.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: So I'm a subscriber. I read all your stuff. I
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: haven't read that yet because we start really early here,
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: but so I'm pulling it up now. So there's no
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: hard And obviously, because he's with Cleveland, there's no Kawhi. Obviously,
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: who are the Clippers even going to be?
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: They're going to be the team led by Darris Garland
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: and Brandon Ingram as currently constructed, and that is a
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: team that I've seen Toronto lu coach talent that did
• 31:56
  Speaker 7: not amount to two guys who are recent All Stars
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: to a winning season.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: I look back at.
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: The twenty twenty one twenty two season win, Kawhi was
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: out the entire year due to acl surgery, and they
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: were asking Paul George to lead the team without another
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: All Star next to him. You know that opening week
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: starting lineup with something like Reggie Jackson, Eric Bledsoe, Marcus
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: Morris who wound up missing the basically the first month
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: of the season himself. And if it's a Zubots before
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: the version of it, if it's a Zubots, that could
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: garner a return of Godfather return that the Clippers got
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: this past February. And then people who may recall Paul
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: Torre Ligman and his elbow and wound of missing three
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: months to that season. They still that team still won
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: forty two games and still should have clinched the playoffs spot.
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: They flunked the play touring in and so Toronto lou
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: is arguably the Clippers' best asset. He's been treated as such,
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: and he's going to work with two guys who he
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: should have a great familiar with, especially Garland being that
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: he played March in April for the Clippers, and with
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: Brandon Ingram, you're not replacing Kawhi Leonard. But if you
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: wanted to get a guy who is along those lines
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: in terms of how they using the spots they like
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: to get to, then yeah, you're you're knocking you You're
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: going down a tire. The same thing with Harden as
• 33:21
  Speaker 7: far as moving on from him and having Garland. But
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: you can have a good offense if those two guys
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: are playing a respectable amount of minutes together and respect
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: amount of games together. It's about filling out everything else
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: as far as your depth, as far as how you
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: are trying to defend, as far as your identity, and
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: it's it's it's July sixth I think that the Clippers
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: are going to need these three months to figure things
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: out in that regard so that you don't have to
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: play basketball game tomorrow. And with that in mind, I
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: think over the next three weeks you will see another
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: piece added to the Clippers. Who and how that piece
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: gets to the Clippers that is that is why we're
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: here to figure out all of that.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: So your article went up while we were doing our show,
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: So I got it right here just to prove to you.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: I'm a fan and I read and I'm a subscriber.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: So it's what post Kawhi Clippers have in brandon Ingram
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: and the remaining voids to fill to compete, and so
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: that is from law to his article that just went up.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: Is that and probably it's not. But is there any
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: chance because he does love to play golf and he
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: doesn't have to move, is that other person any chance
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: going to be Lebron?
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: I don't see it, just because I feel like for
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: some players, the story of the narrative doesn't matter, and
• 34:36
  Speaker 7: I feel like for Lebron it does. And I don't
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: think that Lebron would leave Cleveland or sorry, he would
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: leave Cleveland twice.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: We knew that.
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: I don't think he'd leave the Lakers to come to
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: the Clippers. I just don't see that. I don't see
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: them being a legitimate option for Lebron now. Basketball wise,
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: it makes a ton of sense, and the connections are
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: all there, and as you mentioned, he wouldn't have to
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: move so you know, if this was if this was
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: not that, then yeah. I mean I've seen the Clippers
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: signed twilight guys before. It was Paul Pierce a decade ago,
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: you know, for his Fair World tour that went very poorly.
• 35:20
  Speaker 7: But whatever, you know, like I could, it's it's happened.
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: I mean, shoot, think Chris Paul just signed just last year.
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: You know obviously that was the worst Fair World Tour
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: you'll hopefully ever see. So I'm not treating Lebron James
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: as a legitimate option for the Clippers. I will say
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: that basketball wise and logistics wise, it makes a ton
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: of sense. It just doesn't make sense for Lebron's quote
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: unquote story that he's going to want to be bolstering.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Kawi had one year left on his deal, so they
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: tried him to the Raptors. Why would they trade him.
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: Because you have to max max out. That's that's pretty
• 36:00
  Speaker 7: much shit. I mean with Kawhi, it's like, are you
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: going to commit to any kind of contract with him,
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: a long term deal of maximum contract And it doesn't
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: sound like the Clippers were really trying to do that.
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: But you also have to determine this who where does
• 36:17
  Speaker 7: Kawhi want to go in terms of where he could
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: get paid as well? Is there a match there and
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: do you have the time to make something worth it.
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: I mean, they got a pretty damn good return from
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: a draft capital perspective. When I look at the player perspective,
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: it's underwhelming, Like you're not going to sell me on
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: brandon Ingram being a decent return for Kawhi Leonard, But
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: how many players are there in the league in that regard.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: The only way to.
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: Make it better for yourself as a franchise trading a
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: player like Kawhi is if you get the draft return
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: that is consummate. I don't think they got that in
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: the James Harden trade. They wind up getting a sex
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: around picked that turned into a guy that's going to
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: Auburn next year. You know, next year they got that
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: into its zubas you know, as well as some decent
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: player assets as well as When you talk about Benedict
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: Matthurns restricted free.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Agency, they got his situation to work on.
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: I think I would have been fine if the Clippers
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: would have just kept Kawhi and started the season with him,
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: revisited things in mid season. But you don't have to
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: go too far. Look at what happened with Jimmy Butler
• 37:30
  Speaker 7: in Miami. That situation was toxic and so it's never
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: an ideal time to part with a star like this.
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: I think the Clippers did okay. I don't think they
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: did great, but I think they did okay, and I
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: understand the timing.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: Do you think that the success of Wemby has created
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: now a let's see how many big guys we can
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: get and let's pay them more than they would have
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: been worth three years ago, So especially in the West,
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: so we can have a shot to stop Wemby. And
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: mostly I talk about Walker Kesler, who didn't play much
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: last year with the Utah, but here he is signing
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: a massive four year deal. Do you think Wemby actually
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: affected that?
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Maybe? Maybe?
• 38:12
  Speaker 7: I mean Victor win Benyama is really good. You know,
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: it's ironic about Victor Wombanyama. He doesn't really want to
• 38:18
  Speaker 7: be a center, especially offensively. I think Wemby is a
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: transcendent talent defensively. Offensively, he does things that no other
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: guys can do, but he doesn't necessarily do them consistently.
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: You know, there's a higher ceiling for him to get to,
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: and honestly a higher floor. And so all these teams
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: talking about how they need their centers, and these centers
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: tend to be guys who have a greater impact on
• 38:46
  Speaker 7: the game defensively. I mean, okay, like the New York
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: Knicks had Karl Anthony Towns, a guy that I'm not
• 38:54
  Speaker 7: sure how much they're committed to cat long term, right,
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: And they did a good job defending the San Antonio Spurs,
• 39:03
  Speaker 7: and by the end of the Finals, they kept attacking
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: Wemby like he was just another dude. You know, I
• 39:10
  Speaker 7: think these teams are going to talk about the center
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: position because they're excited to talk about Wenby, and that's
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: the one way to talk about him. I'm not even
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: kidding when I say that. So, like you need to
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: build a good team, I think that's always how it's
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: been people. I can I can give you an example
• 39:24
  Speaker 7: about Nicola Jokic and his ascent to MV you know,
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: annual MVP candidate, and they're like, I saw a team
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: that was like, yeah, we're not even going to try
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: to bolster our center depth. We're going to do it
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: another way, and like create a team full of wings.
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: I might be I might not be doing the best
• 39:46
  Speaker 7: job of hiding who that team is. So like that,
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: there's always this approach of, oh, cancel centers completely, or
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: you don't need centers, it doesn't matter anyway. And now
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: you're in an era of get every center you can
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: because Wenby is here. It's like, NA, just build the
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: best team that fits that what you have. And as
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: far as Walker Kesler is concerned, Walker Kessler's impact is
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: going to be on defense, and I think Walker Kessler
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: is going to be someone who addresses a huge issue
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: for the Lakers last year as far as their rent protection.
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: But the Lakers are two rent protection issues. They didn't
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: have great reprotection from their centers, but they had the
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: worst rent protection in the league. I would say outside
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: of their centers. Walker Kessler is a very good room protector,
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: and he alone is not going to save the Lakers
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: if their secondary rent protection remains. Guys like Luca Danti
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: and Jakelarrabia. I'm just going to leave it at that.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: John Morant going west like also just him and Dame together,
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: Like will he listen to day?
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he will.
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: Like I think John Morant has been a character assassination.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: Victim over the last several years.
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: Like, I think dude wants to just be in a
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: situation where he can play, and I think being healthy
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: is a big part of that. I mean, Job Morant
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: was suspended to begin the what was it the twenty
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: twenty three to twenty four season, and since then he
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: had a major shoulder injury that ended that season after
• 41:20
  Speaker 7: he debuted, and then the twenty twenty four to twenty
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: five season, they started great, and as usual with the
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: Memphis Kerzlies, they ended poorly, still made the playoffs, and
• 41:31
  Speaker 7: then this fast season where I don't think Job played
• 41:33
  Speaker 7: a single game after January. It's like, Jaw needs to
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: be healthy. I think that's my main thing. I'm not
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: worrying about Job Morant and his behavior off the floor
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: or what the locker room is looking like.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: I think Job being healthy that's where it's got to start.
• 41:50
  Speaker 7: Now the Blazers are putting together an incredibly weird team,
• 41:53
  Speaker 7: which is on brand for that city. But I think
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: you have to consider this. Damian Lillard is not the
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: Damian who ended teams seasons in the playoffs in the
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: twenty tens. He's a guy who is in his mid
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: thirties coming off of one of the more devastating injuries
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: you can have, especially when you're a small guard, and
• 42:12
  Speaker 7: I think there is a case of insurance there at
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: that position. I just feel like they're best players Daniavvia
• 42:19
  Speaker 7: and anything that takes the ball out of his hands
• 42:22
  Speaker 7: more than it needs to be is going to be
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: a little challenging. And we'll see how Mike and Nory
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: makes all of this work. But I have a feeling
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: that Portland has at least one guard to offload. I'd
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: be looking at Drew Holliday, a guy who is as
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: old as Dame, a guy who is very good, very productive,
• 42:42
  Speaker 7: but doesn't fit any kind of future with that team.
• 42:46
  Speaker 7: There's a logjam there, and I'd be interested to see
• 42:49
  Speaker 7: where he goes to you next.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: Jalen Brown going to Philadelphia. Obviously he wasn't going to
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: stay in Boston, at least from everything that I was
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: writing or people that I was talking to and a
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: lot of people got upset about that, saying they only
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: got Paul George a couple first, a couple of seconds.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: But to me, I would love for you to contradict
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying. I feel like, if anything, it was
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: mostly a salary dump as well so they can make
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: another move. That was a massive salary they were paying him,
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: and if they knew he wasn't going to stay, they
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: needed to offload that because I think Paul George is
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: what maybe one year left. What are your thoughts on
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: that trade?
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: My thoughts on the trade, It was just a ridiculous
• 43:29
  Speaker 7: situation as far as the relationship breakdown. I feel like
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: Jalen Brown enjoyed the individual season he had and the
• 43:37
  Speaker 7: team exceeded expectations, but they also humiliated themselves in the
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: process of blowing the three one lead to a team
• 43:44
  Speaker 7: that they enjoyed beating year after year as they were
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: building this era with Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum, and
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: I just feel like there was some fatigue there when
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: it comes to their contracts. It's like Boston paid him
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: this contract. Yeah, he's got three years left on a
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: pretty significant deal, and you know, with Jason Tatum ideally
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: coming back again. We're talking about a guy tours Achilles Tendon.
• 44:10
  Speaker 7: We got to see what that looks like for him
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: over the course of a full season. We're talking about
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: Paul George, a player who again I covered for years.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: I don't think their ability and.
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: Availability is what you use to describe Paul George as
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: far as assets and positive traits at this point of
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: his career, But I do think there was some significance
• 44:31
  Speaker 7: to how the team might have felt about how good
• 44:34
  Speaker 7: they were when Jaylen Brown didn't play.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Or when Jaylen Brown was on the bench, and.
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: Thinking can you build a team that can be better
• 44:42
  Speaker 7: than that? Because they clearly weren't good enough in the
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: playoffs to close out one series. Can you build a
• 44:48
  Speaker 7: team around that where you can maybe enhance that part
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: of it. It's like, will they miss Jalleen Brown? Yeah,
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: they do great things with Jalleen Brown. Absolutely. The relationship
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: I felt like was a bigger factor than the contract.
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: I feel like they were like, we don't need this
• 45:06
  Speaker 7: to be a problem when we already feel like you
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: can over time build a team that can win games
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: and possibly be a little deeper, a little bit better
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: than you had with Jalen Brown making the same money
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: over a long period of time. It wasn't for me.
• 45:27
  Speaker 7: It's not like Jaylen Brown was upending free agent like this,
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: dude's not going to be a free agent and for
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: another three seasons in the NBA. Now that's a that's
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: a very long time. And so to me, it was
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: more like I felt like the Celtics were like, we're stuck.
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: We need to make this move, and we think that
• 45:44
  Speaker 7: over time there will be a chance to enhance and
• 45:48
  Speaker 7: raise the floor of that team.
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: Rich Paul's whiteboard of the teams that Lebron could possibly
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: go to. I find that stuff to be super entertaining
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: because it's like wrestling to me, like it's all out
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: out there. So we talk about it, otherwise you don't
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: post it or talk about it on the podcast with
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: Kellerman and so I love it. But it does feel
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: a little bit like the decision, but just with more
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: teams from way back in the day. Where do you
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: think Lebron ends up as of right now?
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: As of right now, if it's a team that is
• 46:21
  Speaker 7: not Golden State or Cleveland, I will be legitimately surprised.
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: I can't be can't I mean, it's going to be
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: a shock that this isn't to find out. Oh shoot,
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: all right, here's Lebron's next scene. So I feel like
• 46:33
  Speaker 7: there is a legitimacy there. I think they floated the
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: Golden State thing because it's it's like when you test
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: run with an audience, right, like you're trying to you're
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: trying to see, all right, we might.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Want to change this ending, you know.
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: I think that would be a significant move, and it
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: would definitely be a move that, ten years after Kevin
• 46:54
  Speaker 7: Durant's next chapter would be really really funny.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: Cleveland is just the obvious. Hey come home.
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: You know, Cleveland has moved to make to actually facilitate
• 47:06
  Speaker 7: that happening. If it's anybody else, then it's going to
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: be interesting. I'd love to see him in Minnesota. They
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: need a Lebron James, simple as that, Like they need
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: someone to replace Julius Randall and be a big body there,
• 47:21
  Speaker 7: you know.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: But other than that, like I don't, I don't.
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: I don't know where he would legitimately go that would
• 47:30
  Speaker 7: fit the Again, the story of what Lebron James wants
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: to do there.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: He is law Murray base in La covers the NBA
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: with Clippers and Lakers Focus, and you can read his
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: work at the Athletic dot com. Law always appreciate the perspective.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: One of my favorite writers. So thank you so much
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: for spending twenty minutes with us here.
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: Thank you for having me bones all.
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: Right, see buddy. Okay. So I was talking to Matt Stell,
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: who's a good friend of mine on the show a bunch.
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: He's got a bunch of number one songs, Tim not
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: prayer for you, Prayer for you. And so one of
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: the guys in our Skins league do you die? No,
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: but he got he's going to coach at a Division
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: one school. Oh, big football team. Yeah, there was a
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: person I won't say who it is. It wasn't illegal,
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: but there was a person in our league who played
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: professional football in a former NFL player. We knew who
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: it was. And he got a job at a Power
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: four not head but big assistant coach. S You can't
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: gamble when you're a coach. Yeah, it's yeah, No, I
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: think Mara is gonna be our league. So Matt still
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: hit me up and was like, who can we get?
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: That's cool to be in our league? And I said, well,
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I think my team's already quit on me.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: I think Eddian, no, no, no, I'm back, dude, I'm saving.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: You said you weren't playing.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: I'm saving.
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: But now, what's interesting? Now that you know how it works, don't.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: You feel stupid for picking the Bengals?
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: No, A lot more knowledgeable going into next year, Yes,
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: and knowing like what the deal is.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel a lot more knowledge.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: I still though, like if we picked today, I still
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: wouldn't even know how to pick.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's part of it because the NFL has changed
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: so much year to year. But you would because that
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: first round, when you get your pick, you kind of
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: know Buffalo is going to be good. You know, you
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: kind of know the teams. Unless listen, I don't think
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: the Bengals are a bad pick. Joe Burrow getting injury.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so, so who's who we thinking?
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know. He was like, you should call Brandon Walker,
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: who's my friend of Barsol. But I don't want to
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: get a friend into this and have them lose thousands
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: of dollars, Yeah, and then feel and then yeah we
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: know that stuff.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: So they need to be a rich friend.
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't even want to get a friend in though,
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: because I think he makes good money. But so if
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: there's anybody who that can think of, there's you got
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: a name, Matt Miller.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: He uh, just like you can be the commissioner.
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: I watched a video on TikTok of this kid who
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: set the world record for mouse clicks in sixty seconds. No,
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: it's a thing where he and the other record was
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: seven fifty in sixty seconds, and he did in seven sixty.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: I think I there's kind of like that hack, you know,
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: like you remember the power pad in Nintendo.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, but how you just kind of did
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: that so quick?
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: You do that with a finger. I think there are rules,
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: but let me show you. I can show have my
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: phone turn this off sixteen seconds?
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: But do you not even moving?
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: He's so fast you can't really tell.
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: He's yeaes his fingers like curled.
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: And he did. The record was seven fifteen, did seven
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: sixty he doesn't know yet and he gets a Guinness
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: World record.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: Like he wasn't even making facial expressions.
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: Focused on fired out like hey's focused folkst and fired up.
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: Like I can like act like I'm trying to like,
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: I'm twitching. Do it pretty fast, but I can't keep
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: that up for sixty seconds?
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Did you hear that?
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: I wish we could actually test that. I think it's
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: a that would be cool.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: I mean I have to turn my mouse off so
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: it doesn't mess the video up.
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: The whole room starts to smoke a board. Okay, I
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: think that's it. I did see I think you saw too,
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: Kevin madd at the Celtics.
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, but but it was kind of can I
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: say something though, It's kind of a b move because
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: like he gets all mad, but then I look and
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: it's only to his close friends.
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: He did it was yeah, not that one.
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: The one I saw was a Green Circle storyline. That
• 51:48
  Speaker 6: was my kid probably Oh I clicked on it. Okay,
• 51:51
  Speaker 6: well that changes things.
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: Well it could have been Green Circle, but that can
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: be your fourth video?
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Oh really?
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can show you three.
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: I thought he's like he doesn't want to tell the
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: whole world. He wants to just complain to.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: His I feel like it was a salary dumb dude,
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: more than it was let's see what we can get
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: from a trade. Like they knew they weren't going to
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: and I think they still make another move.
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: They have to with those picks. But Paul George is
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: still making close to what Jalen's megan yet something.
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: He's got two years left on his contract. I think
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: it's it was they weren't a bad place period, and
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: I think that was just we got to get rid
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: of his money.
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: But why why now? And I know a lot of
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: people have said this, but and we're a week behind here,
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: but why now instead of in a month from now,
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: two months from now, three months from Nocaure's no way
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: that pick or or that trade is going to get
• 52:36
  Speaker 5: any worse in the headache.
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: It's a distraction. He's he's streaming on Twitch every eight hours.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: He is doing that.
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: But he's always been so good, like he's never gotten
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: any trouble. One Finals MVP, he's.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: There at the team.
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: He wasn't Kyrie, okay, And I hear you and yeah,
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: he's got his mouthy for her and he says a
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: bunch of it. But I think my bosses say the
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: same crap about me, Like he doesn't get in trouble,
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: he just mauthy. Sometimes he just says a bunch of crap.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: And so you're still here, Yeah, because then I just
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: stopped saying crap for a while. So I think you
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: can be Bill. You cannot be problematic and do a
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: great job at work. And there's only a certain point.
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: You can only take so much. I stop Sometimes when
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: i'm I do enough, I'm like, I should chill, because
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: if it gets to my CEO, then I know his trouble.
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: If he's like, hey, why are you saying all this
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: stuff on like a podcast or something, I'm like, I'll
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: take a step back. He didn't take a step back.
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but what sucks is you go from Yannis to that,
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: but they were not getting you didn't have honest.
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: To be fair, you never had you honest.
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: I know, but never like officially obviously, but in our head,
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: in Celtics mind's head.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: Well okay, and you're like, on my head archized Jesus
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: last year, no playing in it, quarterback, all.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: The whole team.
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: You probably he didn't just town. He just flos above
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: everybody all Yeah, we're done. Thank you, thank you all
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: for being here, thank you for listening us. A. Oh well, no,
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: I'm rooting for the United States. But I don't like
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: cheating to do it, or if we cheat, I like
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: to not know about it.
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like to speculate. I probably pulled some strings.
• 54:13
  Speaker 4: Like yeah, like play. Yeah, I didn't need the White House.
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah I did it. I was a good athlete, so
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: I did it. I didn't.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: It's you know, Alabama fans, Georgia fans for their whole life,
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: they knew they were paying players under the table, but
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: it wasn't proven. So they got to enjoy their win
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: because like proof, we cheated. We didn't cheat. Now we
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: cheated the whole world.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: I wonder what the threat was. What's the threat?
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: Nuclear bomb? Alpheimer?
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: What it is like, we'll blow up your office? All right?
• 54:43
