  All you have to do to tune in and check out our local listings
• 2:28
  for all our shows is go to our website at
• 2:30
  www.worldwidesportsradio.com. Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's
• 2:38
  been clear. It's been beautiful.
• 2:40
  It's been hot and rainy here in Long Island, New York.
• 2:45
  And yes, if you're hot and rainy and you like the hot and rainy
• 2:49
  weather, well then Long Island is hot and rainy for you.
• 2:53
  Speaking of hot and very rainy, that is the New York Knicks and
• 2:58
  we will get into the whole New York Knicks Game 5.
• 3:02
  For all you Knick fans that thought this was going to be a
• 3:05
  shoe in, well, ladies and gentlemen, Knick fans are
• 3:08
  probably wondering what's going to happen at Game 6 at Madison
• 3:12
  Square Garden. I've got some rumors.
• 3:15
  Well, I don't, I'm not the rumor guy that that would be Josh.
• 3:18
  He was before our show. But Speedy, how are you?
• 3:20
  By the way, before we get to you, our executive producer, you
• 3:23
  just saw him as he did our introduction, Mr. Aaron Fish,
• 3:26
  Fishman and the one and only Mr. Tommy Scoops is here to do our
• 3:31
  sportsman and give us some of the back end information that
• 3:35
  we're going to need throughout the show.
• 3:36
  And our PR guys right now backstage, as he's working over
• 3:40
  there somewhere in New Jersey, Mr. Nathan, AKA I Need a Leash.
• 3:46
  I'm putting you on a leash now. Now, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:49
  Speedy, what's going on? Yeah, it was interesting.
• 3:51
  He brought up Josh's show. It felt like it was a 2021 all
• 3:54
  over again when he was with us on the sports label venting
• 3:56
  about the New York Knicks. I think the only thing hotter
• 3:58
  than Josh's head might have been Tom Thibodeau's head.
• 4:00
  Well, I don't know about. Hotter.
• 4:02
  I don't even know if there's a word called hotter when it comes
• 4:05
  to Josh. I think it would be ugly.
• 4:08
  I'm just kidding Josh there. There is ugliness to Josh's
• 4:11
  thoughts when it comes to the New York Knicks.
• 4:13
  If it doesn't go his way, he's complaining.
• 4:16
  He's crying. Like all you Knick fans.
• 4:19
  When the Knicks are winning, you're dancing around with your
• 4:21
  your pants off your chest. You're bare chested, sticking
• 4:25
  out, dancing around on a on a camera center stage for all you
• 4:29
  Knick fans. And when they're losing, you're
• 4:31
  making crybaby antics all over social media and crying and
• 4:36
  complaining all over the world. So it is typical New York at its
• 4:42
  fullest. But I, I will say this, I, I
• 4:45
  look at what is going on in professional sports, you can
• 4:48
  only wonder, is this a business or is this something to do with
• 4:53
  the league and what it's all about?
• 4:55
  Now we all know about the NBA and the LJA, the LeBron James
• 4:59
  Association, the NHL. I love what Gary Bettman's doing
• 5:02
  right now for all the people out there that Boo him every time at
• 5:06
  the draft thinking that this guy doesn't know what he's doing.
• 5:08
  He doesn't know how to bring money into their association.
• 5:12
  Well, you're absolutely wrong with the new CBA that they
• 5:15
  brought in some of the new TV deals that they have.
• 5:18
  I think the NHL is doing very, very well.
• 5:21
  And then you look at the NFL. We all know Rodger Goodell
• 5:24
  doesn't need to do anything. He can wipe his ass and he's
• 5:26
  going to get a new sponsor, a new advertiser because the NFL
• 5:30
  is the NFL here in in Long Island, New York and around the
• 5:34
  world. We all know how sports is when
• 5:38
  it comes to New York and, and, and really throughout the United
• 5:42
  States. So we know Rodger Goodell is
• 5:44
  going to find a way to bring in money and and sell it to every
• 5:47
  single person out there that's enjoying the sport of football.
• 5:50
  But what really bothers me more than anything is the way the NBA
• 5:55
  runs their product. I don't like anything about what
• 5:58
  the NBA does. I don't know if I would fully
• 6:01
  blame LeBron James, but look, it's really starting to happen
• 6:05
  when David Stern step stepped down and gave it to Adam Silver.
• 6:09
  And Adam Silver, even though he's bringing so much money and
• 6:13
  so much cash for the new TV deals that they're getting and,
• 6:16
  and all the different advertisers that they've been
• 6:18
  bringing in over the last couple of years, including Nike, which
• 6:22
  is a world phenomenon really for the last 30-40 years, Nike is
• 6:28
  bringing in so much money for the NBA.
• 6:30
  The problem right now really lies between what Adam Silver is
• 6:35
  doing for the players. It's not anything about the fans
• 6:38
  anymore. It's not about anything when it
• 6:40
  comes to the money that is being brought in by the fans.
• 6:44
  It's all about the players and what the players could do when
• 6:48
  it comes to the product. And I don't like what the NBA is
• 6:51
  doing right now as we watch the NBA playoffs.
• 6:53
  And it's fun to watch as we're watching so many great series,
• 6:57
  the Nugget series, the Golden State series which just ended,
• 7:00
  and then obviously the Knicks series, the Pacer series that
• 7:04
  was an absolute blowout. But All in all, it's been fun.
• 7:07
  The playoffs are always fun, but it bothers me when I look at the
• 7:10
  league and what it's doing and how they don't appreciate the
• 7:14
  fans. The fans are not the number one
• 7:16
  priority. And it's been a big problem over
• 7:18
  the last couple years. And I blame LeBron James and all
• 7:20
  the other players, the Kevin Durants, those type of players
• 7:23
  that are selfish me type of players, including Kyrie Irving
• 7:27
  for over the years of all the craziness that he has done on
• 7:30
  and off the basketball court. But I'm not going to get into
• 7:32
  that a little bit Later in show, we will be talking to well known
• 7:37
  actor Mr. Robert Funaro. He will be joining us.
• 7:41
  He played Eugene in The Sopranos, so we're very excited
• 7:44
  to get him on the show. We'll talk about some of the
• 7:46
  stuff that he's been doing after The Sopranos and some of the
• 7:49
  other movies and television shows that he's appeared on
• 7:53
  obviously over the last couple of years.
• 7:54
  Jabba's back. How are you, Jabba?
• 7:56
  I know you're on a little a little turn and there's so many
• 8:00
  events going on in your life. Thank God you you joined us, but
• 8:03
  how are you my friend? Good, good.
• 8:05
  Just trying to get all the stuff put together and figure out last
• 8:10
  names of maiden names and getting all that.
• 8:13
  And I was like, I wish my dad was here.
• 8:15
  He had all the answers, but he decided to kick the bucket too.
• 8:18
  So we don't have him. But other than that, you know,
• 8:21
  it's it's, it's always weird when you see family that, you
• 8:25
  know, in certain circumstances, but you know, it's good to see
• 8:28
  him. You know, everybody's kids are
• 8:29
  growing up and and doing all that.
• 8:31
  So. But yeah, other than that, I was
• 8:34
  like, let me just get a little break.
• 8:37
  We're we're on ancestry.com trying to do a bunch of stuff,
• 8:40
  trying to find everything. Find cousins, aunts, uncles.
• 8:44
  Oh yeah. You know, and they're, you know,
• 8:45
  maybe sisters, maybe you have a long lost sister over there.
• 8:48
  Your father was hanging out with another lady, you know, in the
• 8:51
  past, who knows? I I mean, we've seen a lot
• 8:53
  Speaking of past. Butt plug.
• 8:55
  You could be acting with the old NIF as he is using his own butt
• 8:59
  plug. But I'm happy that you're back.
• 9:02
  I I know you've been very, very busy over the last couple of
• 9:06
  days. ESPN reports that Jason Tatum
• 9:08
  suffered A torn Achilles injury. He suffered in fourth in the
• 9:13
  fourth quarter in Game 4 versus the New York Knicks.
• 9:16
  Tatum had a surgery already and is expected to miss all of next
• 9:20
  season. Tatum surgery was done by the
• 9:22
  same doctor. Kevin Durant got his surgery in
• 9:25
  2019 and Durant was able to return in the beginning of 2020.
• 9:30
  In the season, the Celtics blew out the Knicks in Game 5 of
• 9:35
  their series 127 to one O 2 with Derek White leading the Celtics
• 9:40
  to a 34 point game A Jaylen Brown nearly had a triple,
• 9:44
  double, 26 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds.
• 9:46
  Tom Thibodeau was criticized by the media in regards to giving
• 9:51
  the starters too many minutes and Tibbs said you have to play
• 9:56
  the best players to have a chance to win.
• 9:59
  Charles Oakley defended Tom Thibodeau, saying that minute
• 10:02
  police. But I'm sorry, the minute
• 10:04
  police's or police, the Knicks fans have no idea what they're
• 10:09
  talking about when it comes to tips.
• 10:11
  You know, I love Charles Oakley. I love everything about him.
• 10:14
  I got a chance to meet him. I got a chance to interview him
• 10:17
  a couple, I would say about a year ago.
• 10:19
  It was fun to interview him. He was one of my favorite
• 10:21
  players as a New York Knick. And I'm not going to sit there
• 10:24
  and harass or attack what Charles Oakley has to say
• 10:27
  because he knows what it takes to win.
• 10:29
  He was there in 94 when the Knicks went all the way to the
• 10:32
  NBA championship against the The one only Hakeem Olajuan Rockets.
• 10:37
  We all know about that choke that they had in Game 7 and
• 10:40
  really Game six. We know the whole background.
• 10:42
  So I'm not going to attack Charles Oakley.
• 10:45
  What really bothers me is Tom Thibodeau.
• 10:47
  Tom Thibodeau has a chance to close out the Boston Celtics in
• 10:51
  five games, give his team at least a couple of days of rest
• 10:54
  before they got to go into that Pacer series where you have a
• 10:57
  young Pacer team that's flying high.
• 10:59
  They just knocked off the Cavaliers in what, five games?
• 11:02
  A Cavalier team that was unstoppable, as everybody said,
• 11:06
  and some people thought were going to be up to win an NBA
• 11:09
  championship this year with Kenny Atkinson and obviously the
• 11:12
  Spider. But the Spider wasn't 100%
• 11:14
  healthy and the team was fighting injury really for the
• 11:17
  last two weeks of the season going into the playoffs.
• 11:19
  But I I look at Tom Thibodeau and he's made an excuse all
• 11:23
  season long. And the problem with Tom
• 11:25
  Thibodeau is really giving his players a relief on the bench,
• 11:30
  giving them time to rest, giving them and and using a rotation
• 11:33
  that actually fits and gives the Knicks the best chance to win.
• 11:37
  It's been a big problem all season long.
• 11:40
  And when you have guys like Cam Payne who shouldn't be playing,
• 11:44
  I know he was big in the Detroit series in one game and he made,
• 11:47
  he needs some shots. He forces shots.
• 11:49
  He really doesn't defend. And you have Jalen Brunson who
• 11:52
  fouled out for the first time. I don't remember the last time
• 11:55
  Jalen Brunson fouled out in the game in in the last couple of
• 11:58
  years. He fouled out in an important
• 12:00
  game in the fourth quarter with about 7 minutes left.
• 12:03
  And it just shows you one thing. Are the Knicks ready to take
• 12:07
  that next step? We've been saying this forever,
• 12:10
  but I, I don't know, I, I, I don't know what Nick team is
• 12:13
  going to show up every single night.
• 12:16
  You're in Madison Square Garden, you're in Celtic, Celtic, Ville
• 12:20
  over there in Boston. I don't know what it is, but for
• 12:23
  some reason, the Knicks cannot be consistent.
• 12:26
  There are games that Mikhail Bridges disappears for the 1st
• 12:28
  3/4 and then shows up in the fourth in the overtime.
• 12:31
  There are games that OG and Anobi can hit shots and not
• 12:34
  miss. And then there are games that he
• 12:36
  can't hit any shots and then the defensive side of the ball.
• 12:40
  Why is it that a guy like, and I'm going to say this to be
• 12:43
  honest, and I'm saying this to be true, Derek White is not a
• 12:47
  good offensive player, never was and really has really
• 12:51
  transitioned into a decent offensive player.
• 12:54
  This guy is built on defense. That's why he's on this team.
• 12:57
  That's why the Celtics traded for him.
• 12:59
  And that's why he's he got his extension and that's why he made
• 13:02
  the Olympic team because that's what he does defensively.
• 13:05
  He's a great defender at the perimeter.
• 13:07
  He is not a three-point shooter. He is not a great offensive
• 13:11
  player. Why is he scoring 34 points
• 13:13
  against a Knick team that should absolutely be able to defend
• 13:16
  him? It doesn't make any sense.
• 13:18
  And Jaylen Brown, I I don't know if anybody knows his story after
• 13:21
  Tatum went down after the game. Tatum Jaylen Brown had a it
• 13:27
  close, had a close conversation with all his teammates in the
• 13:30
  locker room saying that we should be playing better.
• 13:33
  Tatum or no Tatum. We are one of the best teams in
• 13:36
  the NBA and we can win this series.
• 13:38
  And we got to go out there and play our game.
• 13:41
  And they did in game five. And if they continue doing it in
• 13:44
  Game 6 and Game 7, the Knicks are going to go down.
• 13:46
  But I don't know why anybody thinks that this was going to be
• 13:51
  a shoe in game. I did not think it.
• 13:53
  And and by the way, there are guys that were coming off the
• 13:57
  bench and you know who I'm talking about, the big man
• 14:00
  Speedy and and I to me, he was the player of the game.
• 14:05
  Every time they needed a big rebound, every time they needed
• 14:08
  a a big defensive player. This guy was everywhere to be.
• 14:11
  And he was actually a a former Nick.
• 14:14
  The Knicks didn't hold on to him.
• 14:15
  And then? He looks.
• 14:16
  He looks 50. He could look 50, he could look
• 14:20
  60 if he plays. That way, two years of college
• 14:23
  too, at Duke. If he plays that way, they're
• 14:25
  going to have a chance to win this series because the Knicks
• 14:28
  have no answer to their secondary players.
• 14:31
  Why is Al Horford, when he gets into the game, actually hitting
• 14:35
  jump shots that are open? Why is it that the Knicks don't
• 14:39
  understand what a rotation is and this defense is more than
• 14:43
  good enough to knock off this Boston Celtic team?
• 14:46
  Jaylen Brown's the best player on this roster right now.
• 14:48
  Porzingis isn't 100%. You have Jason Tatum that's out
• 14:52
  for the rest of the season and next year.
• 14:54
  So the Celtics are not the same offensive team they've been all
• 14:57
  season long. And then Nick's beat them with
• 15:00
  Jason Tatum. How do you let this team
• 15:02
  completely dominate you in Game 5 when you should have just
• 15:06
  absolutely, you know, trounced on them?
• 15:09
  It was just, it was embarrassing and I'm not going to sit here
• 15:12
  and I'm not going to cry about it.
• 15:13
  They got a chance to end any game number six.
• 15:15
  If they let this go to a game #7 the momentum is on the Boston
• 15:19
  Celtics side and they get to play it at home.
• 15:22
  They get to finish the the series at home and that gives
• 15:25
  them the full momentum. The Knicks do not want, wants
• 15:28
  this, this series to go to a Game 7.
• 15:31
  Now, I'll sit here and I'll be honest with you, I don't trust
• 15:33
  Tom Thibodeau. I don't trust him in a hole in a
• 15:36
  wall. I don't think this guy knows
• 15:37
  what he's doing. I think he's always choked.
• 15:40
  We've seen him go to Eastern Conference championships against
• 15:43
  Miami with Derrick Rose and that team, that great Bulls team that
• 15:47
  was the best team in Eastern Conference that year.
• 15:50
  And, and Derrick Rose, I if I'm not mistaken, he was the MVP of
• 15:55
  the league. And you let LeBron James and
• 15:58
  Miami play the way you did the play the way they they did in
• 16:02
  that series and completely dominate a a team like the
• 16:08
  Chicago Bulls that was very round, very good and rounded all
• 16:12
  the way through from the defensive side of the ball, from
• 16:14
  the offensive side of the ball. And they just completely
• 16:17
  dominated because LeBron James decided to take his defensive
• 16:21
  side of the and his prowess to Derrick Rose and made Derrick
• 16:25
  Rose try to beat him. And, and Tom Thibodeau had no
• 16:27
  answer for Derrick Rose. And now you look at Jalen Brown.
• 16:32
  I don't. I know you look at Jaylen Browns
• 16:34
  numbers, they don't really stick out.
• 16:35
  I know he had a triple double, but you would have thought that
• 16:38
  Jaylen Brown would be shooting most of the shots.
• 16:40
  Jaylen Brown would be scoring 40 points just like Jason Tatum.
• 16:43
  But Jaylen Brown does so many things so good.
• 16:46
  He doesn't need to score 40 points.
• 16:49
  He can get you assist, he's going to get your rebounds and
• 16:51
  he's going to defend multiple positions.
• 16:54
  And if you can't take Jaylen Brown, it doesn't matter if
• 16:57
  Derek Wright scores 34 points on you.
• 16:59
  If you keep Jaylen Brown down 20 points and keep him out of his
• 17:03
  confidence and his structure of his game, then the Knicks are
• 17:07
  going to win the series. Porzingis is a no show.
• 17:10
  If you get 15 to 20 minutes for Porzingis, you're lucky.
• 17:15
  The Celtics know that Porzingis is not 100% healthy.
• 17:18
  The only reason why he's playing and he's playing as many minutes
• 17:21
  as he has in this series is because now that Jason Tatum's
• 17:24
  down, and really, they know that he is a decoy on the court for
• 17:28
  the New York Knicks. And I, I got to give a shout out
• 17:31
  to one player. Robertson played a sensational
• 17:34
  game and I, I'll say this about Mitch.
• 17:37
  Mitch actually practice like I was saying on Monday, he needs
• 17:41
  to figure out his free throw problem.
• 17:43
  He did. He was 6 for six in Game 5.
• 17:45
  So if he plays like that and he's shooting his free throws,
• 17:48
  they're not going to play hack a Mitch, but they need this
• 17:52
  defense, this team. And by the way, Karl Anthony
• 17:55
  Towns, stop flopping, stop being a bitch cuz that's what he is,
• 18:00
  and stop complaining to the referees and go out there and
• 18:02
  play your game. You are one of the best players
• 18:05
  on this team. And if Jalen Brunson is fouling
• 18:08
  out and he's not having his best offensive day, you should be the
• 18:12
  next guy up, not OG and Anobi, not McHale Bridges, not Josh
• 18:16
  Hart. You should.
• 18:18
  That's why the Knicks brought you here, that's why the Knicks
• 18:21
  wanted you so bad. And Leon Rose would do anything
• 18:24
  to make that move to bring you over there from Minnesota to New
• 18:29
  York. Go look at the other players
• 18:30
  right now. Randall's playing well.
• 18:32
  Minnesota's going right now to the Western Conference finals
• 18:34
  for back-to-back years. Dante Diva Central's playing
• 18:37
  well. This is the second year in a row
• 18:41
  the Timberwolves have a chance to go to the finals.
• 18:43
  And they got a very good chance because the West is really not
• 18:46
  as good as it's been over the years.
• 18:48
  So, and there's no surprises here.
• 18:50
  We expected this. So I, I just, I don't understand
• 18:54
  the, the problem right now and I don't understand the, the
• 18:57
  rotation of the Knicks offensively and defensively.
• 19:00
  And the Knicks got to figure out why are they putting in pieces
• 19:05
  in the game. I campaign and, and even
• 19:08
  McBride, who hasn't played well really throughout the playoffs.
• 19:11
  If McBride and campaign are not at the top of their game, you
• 19:14
  got to try other guys. Why isn't precious playing?
• 19:17
  Why aren't the bigger guys playing?
• 19:19
  You have a chance to use your size against a team that's not
• 19:23
  as big as you, not as strong as is you.
• 19:25
  And you are. When you're at full, full
• 19:27
  strength with Mitchell Robinson and Karl Anthony Towns, you're
• 19:30
  arguably the best offensive rebounded team in the league.
• 19:33
  Yeah. And you also look at the
• 19:35
  matchups that the Celtics had to play in this game.
• 19:37
  Luke Cornett playing a lot more for Porzingis, I think was a big
• 19:40
  reason for that because Porzingis, especially on
• 19:42
  defense, looks like a big liability in that game as well.
• 19:44
  And then Sam Hauser in the second-half playing as well as
• 19:47
  he did coming back from his injury.
• 19:49
  Like, these are not matchups that the Knicks should be losing
• 19:51
  with those guys on the floor with Robinson and especially
• 19:54
  with Towns, who had a lot of problems defensively in that
• 19:56
  game, had a lot of problems defensively even in other parts
• 19:59
  during this postseason. And the Celtics stuck with that.
• 20:02
  And they could have kept Porzingis back at, oh, he's
• 20:04
  going to ride the hot hand and still go with let's bring
• 20:06
  Porzingis back. No, they stuck with Cornet and
• 20:08
  Cornet obviously at 7 blocks, he was everywhere on the defensive
• 20:11
  side of the ball and made the other difference.
• 20:12
  You were talking about Jaylen Brown too.
• 20:13
  Like Jaylen Brown could have easily gone into his post season
• 20:16
  woes that he's had in the past two where he's overshooting the
• 20:18
  threes and being very inefficient with the ball.
• 20:20
  He did not do that in this game. And I think the Celtics
• 20:22
  recognized that. They finally used a depth to
• 20:23
  their advantage. I was talking about.
• 20:24
  The adversity factor in Game 2 when the Knicks of the two O
• 20:27
  lead, this is a talent driven team, not an adversity driven
• 20:29
  team. They're back to the being the
• 20:30
  adversity driven team. And now it's up to the Knicks to
• 20:32
  find their own adversity too. When like you said, Jalen
• 20:34
  Bronson's in foul trouble. If Towns was in foul trouble in
• 20:36
  the past, where is that adversity coming from?
• 20:38
  Their bench has been awful the last three games.
• 20:40
  Wake up. And yeah, Tom Thibodeau has to
• 20:42
  be more creative and not so stubborn with his rotations
• 20:45
  because otherwise it can come back to haunt him again,
• 20:46
  especially with campaign who can't do anything right.
• 20:50
  Yeah. And we've talked about it
• 20:52
  already with how he's managing the rotation.
• 20:56
  And I mean, and then obviously you come in, you lose a guy like
• 21:01
  Tatum, then you get a guy like Cornette that gives you 1077
• 21:05
  blocks and 9 rebounds and, you know, plays, you know, 23 solid
• 21:09
  minutes and got after it. I mean, it's just it's hard to
• 21:14
  watch Cat on the defensive side. I know fishes fishes got
• 21:20
  something up his sleeve. So I'll I'll let him go on his
• 21:23
  rant for that one. But it's just, I feel like he
• 21:27
  gets lost like in the moment of the game, like where he has kind
• 21:32
  of scripted and he's not watching how the game ebbs and
• 21:35
  flows of when to bring in. I agree with you Fish.
• 21:39
  I, I don't think Porzingis plays more than 12.
• 21:41
  He he played 18, then he played 23 and then his last game he
• 21:44
  only played 12. And it's just I.
• 21:46
  I don't know if he's lost or if it's just T.
• 21:49
  He's not healthy. Obvious.
• 21:51
  Yeah, he's obviously not healthy, but nobody's healthy
• 21:54
  right now. Let's just be.
• 21:54
  Honest. No, he's really He shouldn't
• 21:56
  even be in this series. I don't know why he's still
• 21:58
  playing right now. They won't say what it is,
• 22:01
  Errol. Yeah, some weird illness.
• 22:02
  They don't. They won't say.
• 22:04
  He should not be playing. So, yeah, but I mean, when you
• 22:08
  lose a guy like that, I think Errol, you're right.
• 22:12
  Like if they they laid an egg, right, OK, that's fine.
• 22:16
  But now it's, you know, a little bit of moment, like, all right,
• 22:20
  you know, they beat us with Tatum, but then we stepped up,
• 22:23
  we had guys step up and it's, it's a little different.
• 22:27
  But I me personally, if they don't end it the next game then
• 22:33
  I I think they lose the. Season I disagree I I I still
• 22:36
  think the Knicks have a chance to win game seven.
• 22:38
  I I still have the Knicks winning in game seven.
• 22:40
  But the momentum will be on the Celtic side.
• 22:43
  If the Celtics come back from A2 game remember they were down 3
• 22:47
  to 1. If they win two games
• 22:48
  back-to-back games and they go back home in Boston, they have
• 22:51
  the momentum. But again the pressure is still
• 22:53
  on them because the Knicks were not supposed to win this series.
• 22:57
  The Celtics were so I, I know you, everybody thinks that if
• 23:01
  the Knicks lose this game and it's over, it's done.
• 23:03
  I know Josh said it on his show on Game On.
• 23:05
  I disagree. I just don't like the way the
• 23:08
  Knicks have played when they have the advantage against
• 23:12
  Detroit. They had the advantage in that
• 23:14
  series really back and forth and then they'd lay up a lousy goose
• 23:17
  egg. You're a better team than
• 23:19
  Detroit. I don't care what you did in the
• 23:21
  regular team again season against them.
• 23:23
  I don't care what your record was against the Celtics in the
• 23:25
  regular season or the Cavaliers. I expect what you're I want to
• 23:28
  know what you're going to do in the playoffs and I expect better
• 23:30
  in the playoffs with the talent, talent that you have around
• 23:33
  Jalen Bronson. You brought in Mikhail Bridges,
• 23:35
  you brought him in for the playoffs.
• 23:37
  You brought him in because he's a great wing defender and he
• 23:39
  could take over games. We've seen him do it.
• 23:41
  We've seen him do it in Villanova with guys like Jalen
• 23:44
  Bronson and Josh Hart. And then you go to OG and Anobi.
• 23:47
  Why did you give OG and Anobi $240 million in the offseason?
• 23:51
  Because you expect him to be a Kawhi Leonard type of player.
• 23:55
  Can take over defensively, can rebound, could shoot, get to the
• 23:59
  line and defend multiple positions and OG disappears in
• 24:03
  certain games. I don't get it.
• 24:05
  And it's really and it has to do with coaching.
• 24:09
  Tom Thibodeau needs to step up to the plate, stop making these
• 24:12
  ugly frown faces on the sideline.
• 24:15
  And it just, it makes me disgusted every time I watch
• 24:18
  this guy coach because I just don't know if he knows what he's
• 24:22
  doing. He's making them that one guy.
• 24:25
  He's making those faces at Karl Anthony Towns Carly Anthony
• 24:28
  Towns must be the most frustrating great player to ever
• 24:31
  play this game. I have never seen a guy with as
• 24:34
  much talent shooting with shooting touch from outside,
• 24:38
  ability to pull up from well beyond the three-point arc,
• 24:41
  ability to drive to the lane, ability to pass while driving to
• 24:44
  the lane and post up. But at the same time he he it's
• 24:49
  like he's playing NBA jam out there.
• 24:51
  He, he he's so he just fouls everybody.
• 24:55
  There was a sequence arrow where he does the two handed NBA Jam.
• 24:59
  You hit, you know, like the, the whatever 2 buttons at the same
• 25:02
  time to foul him in the arcade. He got it was his second foul.
• 25:06
  And then he gets the next possession.
• 25:09
  He tries to take a three. He's what, 611?
• 25:12
  He gets blocked by Derek White and then what does he do?
• 25:15
  He then reaches over Derek White and wrestles him and gets a
• 25:19
  foul, compounding the mistake and now he's got 3 fouls.
• 25:22
  That's what happened with around 7 minutes left in the second
• 25:25
  quarter. And the Knicks actually played
• 25:27
  better because Mitch has been playing great on defense and
• 25:31
  they did this hack and Mitch thing, but he had all six of his
• 25:33
  foul shots, which is awesome. Don't expect them to be 100%
• 25:36
  from the foul line every game. Career 58% so if he gives you
• 25:41
  half. I'm glad he did it.
• 25:42
  Will take 6 of. That pressure.
• 25:44
  But look, this it's a traditional, you know, the rally
• 25:47
  at home for the troops game, all of their guys were hitting
• 25:50
  shots. Derek White couldn't miss.
• 25:53
  Pritchard was great, you know, but there's a there's a rule
• 25:56
  about this in the playoffs is the bench doesn't travel.
• 25:59
  Campaign was terrible. OG and Michael didn't have their
• 26:02
  shot. They didn't have their shot at
• 26:04
  all. Niles Bridges shooting over 50%
• 26:06
  for this series so he's actually been like their savior for any
• 26:10
  offense when Jalen's not on the court.
• 26:12
  And Jalen got in foul trouble because they were calling ticky
• 26:15
  tack shit against him in that game and it was bullshit.
• 26:17
  But if you like the guys that are, you know, coming out the
• 26:21
  bed that are only playing like 2 minutes, one of my boys who
• 26:24
  watches our show and he's at the game, Tommy, shout out to him.
• 26:28
  He listens all the time, especially when it comes to his
• 26:30
  Knicks. He's passionate about that.
• 26:31
  He says he he wishes they would play Precious a little bit more
• 26:34
  in the rotation and get him more like 11:50.
• 26:37
  Minutes So like the thing with Cat is you want I think what
• 26:41
  they want him to do is you want that second offense when Jalen's
• 26:45
  kind of taking a back seat to be you want to have they tried this
• 26:49
  two center thing. It doesn't work because he can't
• 26:51
  play stretched out as a four. So it just doesn't work
• 26:55
  defensively. But they do try to get the miles
• 26:58
  Bridges of miles. I keep saying it, Mikhail
• 26:59
  Bridges and Cat like 2 man offense going when Jalen's not
• 27:04
  on the court, you know, at the end, at the beginning of the
• 27:06
  second quarter, beginning of the fourth quarter and it does look
• 27:09
  good. They need to get him going, but
• 27:10
  he was Invisible Man on offense, hitting shots that didn't
• 27:15
  matter. Maybe he had one good big shot
• 27:17
  in the entire game, hit a good three at one point that was in a
• 27:20
  big moment in the game for momentum swing.
• 27:22
  But everything else was just like nothing.
• 27:25
  And defensively he's exposed. So he's the guy that's being
• 27:31
  frustrating and you can't you can't have these horrible fouls.
• 27:34
  And once that happens, it's a chain effect.
• 27:37
  Right now, guys have to play out of position to make up for the
• 27:40
  fact that he's not in there and they got to play small when they
• 27:42
  didn't want to play small. O GS got a guards guard cornet,
• 27:45
  who apparently is the second coming of I I don't even like
• 27:49
  who is it Sean Bradley blocking ability, but some but some like
• 27:52
  great power forward. Honestly, it's like, it's like,
• 27:56
  I wish we had Julius Randle right now.
• 27:59
  No, you don't. No you don't.
• 28:00
  Playing great. You don't want Julie.
• 28:03
  No, you don't. Because I don't really do
• 28:05
  because but it's like I do he, he.
• 28:07
  Didn't do well here in New York. Maybe he's doing better because
• 28:10
  there's less pressure over there with.
• 28:12
  The double, you know, 20 point, triple double.
• 28:14
  He's he's leading the way. But he already knows.
• 28:18
  But when he was here with the New York Knicks, he always
• 28:20
  thought he was better than Jaylen Brunson.
• 28:22
  He always thought he was the guy.
• 28:24
  That's what he thought. And then he goes over there with
• 28:26
  Anthony Edwards. He already knows he's not the
• 28:28
  other guy and that's why he takes a step back and he lets
• 28:31
  Anthony Edwards do what Anthony Edwards does very well and
• 28:34
  that's take over games and be crude and, you know, idiotic
• 28:38
  sometimes on and off the basketball court.
• 28:40
  And Mitch and a guy like Mitchell Robertson, you would
• 28:43
  expect that he gives that evil like that, I guess, that angry
• 28:48
  type of player on the basketball court that the Knicks haven't
• 28:51
  had all season long because Karl Anthony Towns is like a little
• 28:54
  girl running up and down the court.
• 28:55
  That's what he is. He doesn't take over games when
• 28:58
  he gets pushed around. We've seen it.
• 28:59
  Look at Detroit. Look what Detroit was doing to
• 29:02
  Karl Anthony Towns in that series.
• 29:03
  They were pushing him around, pushing him in the wrong places
• 29:06
  or in places he was uncomfortable in.
• 29:08
  And then Karl Anthony Towns went stay away from me and push him
• 29:11
  away like a little baby. And then you have guys like
• 29:14
  Mitchell Robertson that will not like Tim Hardaway remembered Tim
• 29:17
  Hardaway Junior when he was pushing him around.
• 29:19
  He was at the foul line getting technical fouls because he was
• 29:22
  like, don't touch me, don't put your hands on me.
• 29:24
  I'll smash you like a bug. So you need that, that type of
• 29:28
  aggressive type of player. And the Knicks have it with
• 29:30
  Mitchell Robinson and I think Mitch is starting to get
• 29:33
  comfortable. But here's the problem with
• 29:35
  Mitch on the court, you lose that offensive option.
• 29:39
  And if Michael Bridges is not hitting shots and OG and ANOB,
• 29:42
  he's not hitting shots. And by the way, why do the
• 29:44
  Knicks start so flat? They start so flat in every
• 29:49
  single game. They did it against Detroit and
• 29:52
  except maybe I think two or three games, and they doing it
• 29:55
  against right now, the South. There's not one game in this
• 29:58
  series the Knicks haven't started flat.
• 30:01
  Go look, In every single first quarter, the Knicks were
• 30:04
  practically down by at least double digits.
• 30:07
  That's a problem when you're playing catch up with a team
• 30:10
  that's a champion. You could say whatever.
• 30:13
  You want that's what this team does though, right?
• 30:15
  That's this. That's why they were champions.
• 30:16
  They just get big leads on you because they shoot it and they
• 30:19
  shoot it early in the shot clock and they shoot it off in and
• 30:22
  they get guys to get rebounds and then they can cut off of it
• 30:25
  and hit more threes because they had Tatum and they had Brown
• 30:28
  doing all The Dirty work. But now they don't have Tatum
• 30:31
  and they won't have them next year with the torn Achilles for
• 30:33
  a single game. So now it sets their clock back.
• 30:36
  And I kind of wanted to before we leave this, what exactly is
• 30:40
  going to happen to the Celtics team next year?
• 30:42
  So I I think the Knicks will win tomorrow night.
• 30:44
  They should. I, I think they will and I think
• 30:47
  it might. They'll win kind of easily.
• 30:48
  I disagree. It's I think.
• 30:50
  It's going to be close and then I think they'll run away with it
• 30:52
  in the 4th. And I I think that's that's what
• 30:55
  this series deserves is the Knicks to have that because the
• 30:58
  Celtics have our battle tested team.
• 31:01
  They were awesome in that game. All of their role players
• 31:03
  stepped up. Don't expect the role players to
• 31:05
  do that on the road. So now we talk about guys that
• 31:09
  are out there in their contract. Porzingis doesn't play in this
• 31:11
  game. He they benched him in the
• 31:12
  second-half. I don't think he's going to see
• 31:14
  the. He's not healthy.
• 31:15
  I think it's going to be, I don't think they should put him
• 31:17
  out there. He's a liability.
• 31:19
  Even Towns was making him look bad while he was out there and
• 31:22
  Towns played like shit. So it it was that bad for
• 31:25
  Porzingis? He's gone.
• 31:27
  They're going to get rid of him for whatever they can.
• 31:29
  Drew Holiday is going to yeah, he's going to be gone.
• 31:31
  I and and again, they're going to be looking in the offseason
• 31:34
  either to add a player, make a big splash, because we know Brad
• 31:38
  Stevens likes to do that. He's a Danny Ainge type of
• 31:41
  disciple that that likes to find things that are not there.
• 31:44
  And all of a sudden full right into the the Celtics lap.
• 31:47
  It's happened many, many times, including Porzingis.
• 31:50
  Who would have thought that they were going to land Porzingis and
• 31:52
  they did. That was a Brad Stevens move.
• 31:54
  I think that in the offseason they're either going to decide,
• 31:56
  hey, Jason Tatum is not going to be back next year.
• 31:59
  Maybe we're a decent team. We're we're amongst the eat.
• 32:03
  We're top eight team in the East.
• 32:05
  Even if we fall out of the playoffs, we have a chance to be
• 32:07
  a lottery team. And maybe the NBA, just like
• 32:10
  what we've seen with The Mavericks, what we've seen with
• 32:12
  the Spurs and the 76ers. Maybe we'll get lucky and the
• 32:16
  LJA will put us in the top three and we'll get a player to come
• 32:19
  and play with Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum.
• 32:22
  When Jason Tatum comes back, say whatever you want and I love
• 32:24
  Jason Tatum. When he went up on social media
• 32:26
  and he said I'll be back, Reggie Miller was talking, talking to
• 32:29
  him during the game and Reggie Miller said that Jason Tatum
• 32:32
  can't wait to come back and that he wants to prove to everybody
• 32:35
  can come back from an injury like this.
• 32:36
  I'm going to tell you guys this right now.
• 32:38
  Jason Tatum will not be the same player when he comes back.
• 32:41
  He will be 30 years old. Jason Tatum right now is going
• 32:44
  to be 28. In two years, he will be 30.
• 32:48
  He's right there on the cusp. If I'm not mistaken, he's 28.
• 32:52
  He's going to be 28 at the end of this year or something of
• 32:55
  that magnitude. He is.
• 32:57
  He's going to be about 30 years old.
• 32:59
  He's at the tail end of his basketball career and now you
• 33:02
  tear your Achilles. Kobe Bryant was never the same.
• 33:05
  Kevin Durant was never the same. You watch all these guys that
• 33:08
  look at Klay Thompson, he was never the same.
• 33:10
  Every one of these guys that tore their Achilles, they were
• 33:13
  never the same. Speaking of a team that just
• 33:15
  completely dominated and and the Cavalier team that was never the
• 33:19
  same was the Pacers knocking them off in game number 51141 O
• 33:26
  5 to advance fans to their second straight Eastern
• 33:29
  Conference Finals. Donovan Mitchell played 38
• 33:31
  minutes aminst having an ankle injury and finished with 35
• 33:36
  points and 9 rebounds. Evan Mobley had 24 points but no
• 33:41
  other Cavalier player had more than 12 points including Darius
• 33:45
  Garland which I thought was very important if they were going to
• 33:47
  win that series. The Pacers came back from down
• 33:50
  19 points, their third time coming back from a double digit
• 33:55
  deficit in this series. Rick Carlisle said that the
• 33:58
  Cavaliers are the the better team when healthy, but the
• 34:02
  Pacers have gotten hot at the right time and showed it all in
• 34:06
  this series. Carlisle now has 34 post season
• 34:11
  wins with the Pacers, already surpassing his total when he
• 34:15
  coached with The Mavericks here. It's pretty simple.
• 34:18
  The Pacers to me were the healthy team.
• 34:22
  They had the best player in this series and Tyrese Halliburton,
• 34:25
  he he seems like he thrives when their pressure is on him.
• 34:28
  After what happened in that Buck series and and, and what his
• 34:32
  father did, I think he wanted to step up and show everybody why
• 34:36
  he's one of the best point guards in this league.
• 34:38
  I think this guy is is a huge personality.
• 34:41
  The NBA needs a player of this magnitude.
• 34:43
  He stands up for all the different players over the years
• 34:47
  that couldn't succeed over there with the Pacers.
• 34:50
  I can go on and on and on and teams, great Pacer teams that
• 34:54
  couldn't get over the hump. This is a Pacer team that has a
• 34:56
  chance to go to the finals this year.
• 34:58
  Last year they went to the Eastern Conference finals.
• 35:00
  It seems like they get better and better and better.
• 35:02
  Rick Carlisle is one of the most underrated coaches in the NBA
• 35:06
  right now. Defensive minded but really as
• 35:08
  transition his style of play into an offensive style of play
• 35:12
  in a fast-paced young youth type of rotation.
• 35:16
  I love what Tyrese Halliburton stands for.
• 35:19
  I just don't like how he opens his mouth in certain aspects,
• 35:24
  either during the game or after the game where he throws other
• 35:28
  teams under the bus, players under the bus.
• 35:30
  We heard what he saw said about the New York Knicks last year.
• 35:33
  We've heard what he said about numerous teams over the last
• 35:36
  couple of years. I think he needs a lot of.
• 35:39
  He comes by it honestly, obviously, as from what we've
• 35:41
  seen, yeah, from what his dad is.
• 35:43
  Yeah, well, I think he's cocky, but it's good to be cocky when
• 35:47
  you trust in your game and you trust in your personality.
• 35:50
  You love what he stands for. Evan Mobley, he needs to be
• 35:53
  traded in the offseason. Evan Mobley just doesn't stand
• 35:57
  for what you're looking for, for a big man that's going to want
• 36:00
  to get paid a lot of money. This is a guy that I think just
• 36:03
  got extended. If I'm not mistaken, he just got
• 36:05
  extended and even though he scored 24 points, it was in a
• 36:08
  game that you want him to take over you.
• 36:12
  If you know your your best players in 100% healthy,
• 36:15
  Garland's not 100% healthy. You expect this guy to score 35
• 36:19
  points, dominate on the offensive side of the board?
• 36:21
  Why are you letting other players out play you on the
• 36:24
  boards and defensively? Mobley is not the player I
• 36:27
  thought he was going to be when he came out of USCI.
• 36:30
  Think he needs to be an optional player that they look to move in
• 36:33
  the offseason if they want to get better.
• 36:35
  Maybe at a Giannis and trade Mobley and a bunch of players in
• 36:38
  that trade to to land a superstar to go and play with
• 36:42
  Donovan Mitch. I don't know.
• 36:43
  But to me in this series, it really stands for one thing.
• 36:47
  The Pacers are ready to take that next step forward.
• 36:50
  They're going to either go have to go through the Celtics and
• 36:52
  the Knicks. I believe whoever wins this
• 36:55
  series with the Celtics and the Knicks are favorites of coming
• 36:59
  out of the East and winning the NBA championship.
• 37:01
  There's only one team out of the the four teams in a Western
• 37:04
  Conference I think could beat the Knicks or the Celtics before
• 37:07
  Tatum went down. And that that team is the
• 37:10
  Nuggets, the Timberwolves. I question their rotation.
• 37:14
  I question is, is a guy like Randall, if, if the Timberwolves
• 37:19
  go to the Finals, are they going to be able or is he going to be
• 37:22
  able to step forward and beat the Knicks in Madison Square
• 37:25
  Garden where the fans are going to be prouncing on him as
• 37:28
  they've done many, many years when he was over there when he
• 37:31
  was shooting bricks. So I I just think that this
• 37:34
  series really lies on the the Knicks getting through the
• 37:38
  Celtics and then challenging a young Pacer team and a Tyrese
• 37:41
  Halliburton and how you shut him down.
• 37:43
  Yeah, and that's the advantage of the Pacers have getting in
• 37:46
  this series done as quickly as they did, even amidst all the
• 37:48
  injuries before that, too. They were still coming back in
• 37:50
  Game one and Game 2 to win those games.
• 37:51
  That's not going to be taken lightly.
• 37:53
  That was before all. Of them.
• 37:55
  And all three of those guys out and you're bringing Brick
• 37:57
  Carlisle. I talked about this with Jim
• 37:59
  Harbaugh and Jim. Harbaugh.
• 38:00
  The Chargers, I thought he had to change his coaching style if
• 38:02
  he wanted to adapt to. The young I am a legend.
• 38:05
  And remember the fallout he had with Luke?
• 38:06
  It was pretty ugly at the end of his tenure with Dallas.
• 38:09
  I think he's changed his philosophy to adhere to these
• 38:12
  younger players very well, getting Halliburton to another.
• 38:14
  Level. I got to go back off now since.
• 38:16
  He's gotten there, they trade him from the Kings.
• 38:18
  I think it was the second year Carlisle was there and he is the
• 38:21
  anti Tom Thibodeau. He'll actually play 8 or 9 guys
• 38:23
  off the bench and know when to use them in the right ways.
• 38:26
  And that's a big tactic to be able to use against Thibodeau,
• 38:29
  who's the opposite or. Against I farted.
• 38:31
  Joe Missoula, which maybe he's showing some adversity, but he's
• 38:34
  still not a great overall coach compared to Rick Carlisle and
• 38:36
  that's it's a big deal for the Pacer to have for Cleveland.
• 38:38
  Just unfortunate with all the injuries that piled up.
• 38:39
  But you do have to be a little worried with Darius Garland.
• 38:41
  He's been very inconsistent in the playoffs too.
• 38:43
  For a second option. That's not an ideal thing.
• 38:47
  You're muted. Yeah, I got it.
• 38:50
  I was trying not to laugh too hard as it's going a.
• 38:55
  Lot of hot ladies. I think and you and you talked
• 39:00
  about it and I think Rick Carlisle is is really, really
• 39:04
  like adept to seeing how the game, like I said earlier, is
• 39:08
  like the ebbs and flows of the game.
• 39:09
  I mean he's got 10 people with over 10 minutes and it and I
• 39:12
  think, you know, obviously, you know, you never want to see
• 39:15
  obviously Cleveland, we knew obviously a great regular
• 39:17
  season, but just injuries sometimes just you bite you in
• 39:20
  the butt and that's just kind of the way it is.
• 39:23
  I just it always I always like looking at these series too.
• 39:27
  When now a team is going to have extra rest days.
• 39:31
  Does that hurt or hinder them? Usually it helps in basketball,
• 39:35
  it hurts in hockey. Right, right.
• 39:37
  And so I, I like seeing it in and then I like, I like here and
• 39:41
  there because it's always a question that gets presented is
• 39:44
  like, did you take the extra time?
• 39:46
  You know, do you think you guys lost momentum or, you know, it's
• 39:49
  time for you guys to, you know, bandage some bumps and bruises
• 39:53
  or what have you? So I I always like when they're
• 39:57
  because this is obviously they're going to get, I think
• 39:59
  three extra days off. Yep, I believe.
• 40:01
  That's right, I don't know how long this is still.
• 40:03
  Going to set a series after this series.
• 40:05
  Is over. It's almost a week, yes.
• 40:08
  So, and therein lies 2 where that momentum can, you know,
• 40:13
  kind of diminish a little bit, but you also, you know, with the
• 40:17
  ability to, you know, recover and get that.
• 40:19
  So, Jabba, that's one thing. Jabba, the advantage I think the
• 40:23
  Pacers have for the for the rest of the playoffs, no matter how
• 40:25
  far they go, is they have the best coach in the playoffs by
• 40:28
  far right now. If you look at the the coaches
• 40:31
  from OK C to the Timberwolves to the Knicks to even the Celtics,
• 40:36
  Rick Carlisle is the best coach out of all of them.
• 40:38
  He's a champion. He's played, he's coached
• 40:41
  multiple great teams over the years.
• 40:43
  He comes back to the Pacers after stepping down and walking
• 40:47
  away from a Dallas Maverick team that won a championship a couple
• 40:50
  of years ago with Dirk Nowitzki. You have Luka Dodgek, you have
• 40:54
  all the players, and then you give the reins to Jason Kidd.
• 40:57
  You go over there to a young Pacer team and really completely
• 41:01
  change the transition of a young team after you make a trade for
• 41:05
  a guy like Tyrese Halbern. I mean, that's the advantage the
• 41:08
  Pacers have right now going in and every single series is they
• 41:11
  have by far the best, most knowledgeable coach in the NBA
• 41:16
  and it and throughout the NBA playoffs, really this season and
• 41:20
  the last couple of seasons. That's why the Pacers went all
• 41:22
  the way to the Finals last year. It had nothing to do with their
• 41:25
  talent. Because if you look at right
• 41:27
  now, do you think they were more talent than the Cavaliers, even
• 41:30
  though the Cavaliers weren't 100% healthy?
• 41:32
  Not a chance in hell. It was not even a chance.
• 41:35
  And I'm not taking shots at Kenny Atkins.
• 41:37
  Kenny Atkinson is a great coach, but Kenny Atkinson has never
• 41:41
  taken a team as a head coach to an Eastern Conference finals.
• 41:46
  I don't even think he's taking a team to the semi finals ever,
• 41:48
  even with the Nets. So no, I think he was fired the
• 41:51
  year one year they did. Yeah, so I I don't think he's
• 41:53
  ever gone that far as a head coach.
• 41:56
  He was there for the Golden State Warriors.
• 41:58
  He did win a championship with the Golden State Warriors, but
• 42:00
  he was an assistant head coach. So there's a lot of pressure on
• 42:03
  Kenny Atkinson. I think eventually he'll get
• 42:05
  over the hump and this team is really, really good.
• 42:07
  I I just think they're missing something.
• 42:09
  I the Pacers, they're not a good team, but why couldn't they win
• 42:13
  a championship? If you look at those Pacers
• 42:15
  teams, and I know we got to move on.
• 42:17
  If you look at the Pacer teams that were championship
• 42:19
  competitive team, who is the best player on that team?
• 42:22
  Reggie Miller, who is the second best player on the team?
• 42:24
  Rick Smits. I mean, they didn't have great
• 42:28
  players. Jalen Rose.
• 42:29
  I mean, they weren't good that Jalen Rose.
• 42:32
  Was they? They were good on NBA Jam
• 42:34
  though. Yeah, they were, they were mean.
• 42:36
  They had the 2 Davis guys. I mean, and Tony, I wasn't
• 42:40
  Antonio Davis, but they the 2 Davis, they called him brothers,
• 42:43
  but they weren't brothers. But they had the Davis boys at
• 42:46
  one time they had Mark Jackson, but they weren't their secondary
• 42:50
  options offensively were not good.
• 42:52
  Why were they so good coaching one and the way they played,
• 42:57
  they were tough and that's what this Pacer team is.
• 43:00
  They're tough. That's what they are.
• 43:02
  You know, Miles Turner really has become a really good 3 point
• 43:05
  shooter for a big and with him being able to play that stretch
• 43:09
  5 for them, it makes them very dynamic offensively with with
• 43:13
  Halliburton being able to dice everything up.
• 43:15
  And I I would say that Carlisle out coach Kenny Atkinson this
• 43:19
  series. Now Kenny did that one gambit
• 43:21
  where he switched into his own defense, a 2-3 zone and they
• 43:24
  stole the game. Carlisle such a good coach that
• 43:27
  in a long series, all he has to do is watch the film and he
• 43:30
  knows exactly what he has to do to adjust and it.
• 43:32
  And after that, there were no answers left.
• 43:35
  He had nothing he could do. And Donovan Mitchell was just
• 43:39
  beside himself after the series. I don't know if you saw his
• 43:41
  quotes. Yeah, I saw what he said to him.
• 43:43
  He was basically just sitting there in disbelief that this
• 43:46
  just happened because he thought that this the season can't be
• 43:49
  over. Like, how did that just happen?
• 43:51
  We were great the whole year and they were, they were incredible
• 43:55
  and they got taken to the woodshed.
• 43:58
  Maybe they just couldn't stay healthy.
• 43:59
  And this Pacers team is a lot healthier than they were last
• 44:02
  year. Matheran's a lot better young
• 44:04
  player. I, I, he's something that he's
• 44:06
  going to, when we watch him next series, you're going to be like,
• 44:09
  that guy's just jumping off the page.
• 44:10
  I was hoping he'd fall to the Knicks in that draft, but I
• 44:12
  think he's got taken at 7:00. He's pretty good, man.
• 44:15
  And I look, we didn't see Halliburton play this well last
• 44:21
  year. Halliburton was not playing at
• 44:23
  this level that he's playing at right now.
• 44:26
  So I am a little concerned. However, I think the Knicks
• 44:30
  length, if they make it and Boston, even Boston matches up
• 44:34
  pretty similarly with them. I just don't know if they'd have
• 44:36
  an answer for Turner with Cornett having to play out
• 44:39
  there. I don't know how he is playing
• 44:40
  out that far out. Cornett, I, I know he was kind
• 44:43
  of a liability when the Knicks had him.
• 44:46
  They might have to rotate him. Someone like Xavier Tillman,
• 44:48
  who's a really good defender, he just doesn't score a lot.
• 44:51
  Yeah, So, you know, they they might have some answers.
• 44:53
  I think that Boston is going to really struggle, you know, with
• 44:56
  with either team, with any of the teams they face just because
• 44:58
  they lost Tatum and that's they're such so part of their
• 45:00
  identity. But I think the Knicks can
• 45:02
  handle this Pacers team. I think that Pacers team was way
• 45:05
  better than what the Cavs were and they just weren't ready.
• 45:08
  They're young, man. They haven't gotten past this
• 45:10
  stage. Kenny's first year as a head
• 45:12
  coach. Give them, give them credit, you
• 45:14
  know, give them their flowers. But now, next year, it's for
• 45:16
  real. You got to.
• 45:17
  You don't know when you're going to get there again and you had a
• 45:19
  chance to get over the hump. This was it really after Tatum
• 45:23
  went down. This was their best chance to go
• 45:25
  all the way to the Finals. And I, I think the Cavaliers, if
• 45:28
  they get out of that, that Pacer series, maybe that they can't,
• 45:31
  the Knicks can't keep up with them if the Knicks because, you
• 45:34
  know, the Cavaliers would have got healthier as as the playoffs
• 45:38
  started to move along. Maybe Garland.
• 45:39
  I mean, there's a lot of mismatches for the New York
• 45:42
  Knicks. This guy that should go there
• 45:44
  and we talked about him the other day.
• 45:46
  His name is Giannis. Yeah, this whole Giannis, there
• 45:48
  are a lot of places Giannis could go.
• 45:51
  But if you trade, Mobley was defensive player of the year.
• 45:54
  I I I don't know where. Look, you can say what you will
• 45:57
  about him, but don't act like he wouldn't be a major, huge piece
• 46:01
  that would fit in a Giannis trade.
• 46:03
  No, I, I think, I think it makes a lot of sense.
• 46:05
  Just like when we could say the Knicks on OK, see, there are a
• 46:08
  lot of teams that are going to be.
• 46:09
  Interested in Giannis. I think that move that they
• 46:12
  still have the center position taken care of and it's a younger
• 46:14
  player. Milwaukee would jump all over
• 46:16
  that and they'd ask for probably a couple of picks.
• 46:19
  And make a rotational. Player probably a Coral,
• 46:22
  absolutely and I don't that's a very doable team and it keeps
• 46:26
  that nucleus of really good guard play around for them.
• 46:30
  I think that's we may hear a lot more than whispers about that.
• 46:33
  There's a lot of teams. You're going to hear a lot of
• 46:35
  whispers. It's not just the Knicks, it's
• 46:37
  not the Cavaliers. You'll might even hear Boston,
• 46:39
  OKC, the Timberwolves. Everybody's going to be
• 46:42
  involved. If you hear that Yanis is going
• 46:45
  to be available to possibly be traded.
• 46:48
  So trust me, it's not going to be only these teams, it's going
• 46:52
  to be all 30 teams in the NBA that are going to go after a guy
• 46:55
  like Giannis who can help your team go right over the hump and
• 46:59
  win a championship. Don't be surprised if Miami
• 47:01
  doesn't go after him too. Pat Riley is the type of guy
• 47:04
  that finds a way to squeeze these players in and bring them
• 47:08
  to the his organization and his team.
• 47:10
  Another superstar in Miami wouldn't be surprising.
• 47:12
  The Timberwolves eliminate the Warriors without Steph Curry by
• 47:16
  winning Game 5 by the score of 121 to 110.
• 47:19
  Anthony Edwards nearly had a triple double with 22.7 rebounds
• 47:23
  and 12 assists after having back-to-back 30 point games.
• 47:26
  Steve Kerr congratulating Anthony Edwards after the game
• 47:29
  and called him the best player in the series.
• 47:32
  Yeah, OK. Jimmy Butler had just 17 points
• 47:36
  and shot just 36%, his lowest total in an elimination game
• 47:41
  since 2019 against the 76ers. Steph Curry will likely likely
• 47:47
  going to play was likely to go play game six if the Warriors
• 47:53
  were to extend the series, but said even he couldn't be
• 47:57
  Superman to play in game five. He wouldn't have been Superman.
• 48:00
  The Timberwolves advance to their second straight Western
• 48:03
  Conference finals after previously only having one in
• 48:07
  the air in their entire franchise history.
• 48:10
  I I will say this, congratulations to the
• 48:13
  Timberwolves from moving on once again to the Eastern Conference
• 48:16
  Finals. We have to see if Anthony
• 48:18
  Edwards is going to show up in the important games in the
• 48:21
  Western Conference finals. I just, again, I, I know Jimmy
• 48:25
  Buckets is old. I, I don't think Jimmy Buckets
• 48:28
  was healthy. Jimmy Butler was not healthy in
• 48:30
  this series and they were fighting really to get through
• 48:34
  this series without Steph Curry. Steph Curry is an important
• 48:38
  piece to this puzzle reason why is he draws 2 two players every
• 48:43
  single time he comes up the court.
• 48:45
  He is that great of a shooter and when you double team him,
• 48:48
  you have Jimmy Butler open, you have other players that can hit
• 48:51
  open shots and it makes the the Golden State Warriors a totally
• 48:54
  different team. Now Jimmy Butler, we've seen him
• 48:57
  do this. We've seen him take over games
• 48:59
  over the years with Miami. This is not the Miami Heat.
• 49:02
  This is not the same Jimmy Butler that was what he was with
• 49:07
  the Heat 3-4 years ago. This is an older Jimmy Butler.
• 49:10
  That doesn't mean that Jimmy Buckets cannot be the player
• 49:13
  that we've seen him be in the playoffs.
• 49:16
  He just wasn't in this series. Again, this isn't a younger
• 49:19
  Timberwolves team. He got Julius Randle playing.
• 49:22
  Well, I, like I said, John Dante, Diva Chancellor has been
• 49:25
  super really coming off the bench the way he has, adding
• 49:29
  that 3 point prowess that he gives them and, and, and really
• 49:33
  for a guy his size has helped on the offensive side of the boards
• 49:36
  as well. So they're getting that as far
• 49:39
  as Steve Kerr is concerned. I don't want to hear it from
• 49:41
  Steve Kerr. I don't ever want to hear Steve
• 49:43
  Kerr talk. You know why?
• 49:45
  Because he's congratulating a guy that he coached with the
• 49:47
  Olympic team. He was also the guy that had
• 49:50
  backlash in during the season about what Anthony Edwards
• 49:53
  stands for and what he has said to the press over the years.
• 49:57
  He was one of the guys that obviously said what he said
• 50:00
  about Anthony Edwards words. You know, you go out there and
• 50:03
  play the game. Don't don't, you know, don't put
• 50:05
  yourself center stage in front of the press if you don't expect
• 50:08
  to be smacked around. And and Anthony Edwards had his
• 50:11
  own thoughts to Steve Kerr. Now all of a sudden he's kissing
• 50:13
  his ass. That's that's typical Steve
• 50:16
  Kerr, ladies and gentlemen. And I don't know how long Steve
• 50:18
  Kerr has left over there with the the Golden State Warriors
• 50:22
  because you would think that Steve Kerr has a great career
• 50:25
  after the, you know, coaching in the NBA.
• 50:28
  And we've seen guys from the Golden State Warriors.
• 50:30
  The GM, When the GM realized Myers, I think it was his last
• 50:34
  name was. Yeah, it was that one football.
• 50:36
  When he decided, hey, you know what, Mike, this team is getting
• 50:39
  older. I, I won my championships.
• 50:41
  I put this team together. Maybe I stepped down and go work
• 50:45
  with another sports team outside of basketball.
• 50:49
  That's what he did. And now he's an analyst for the
• 50:51
  NBA, for ESPN. And this guy's making more money
• 50:54
  doing that than sitting behind as an executive and dealing with
• 50:58
  some of the the rubbish that you have to deal with, with guys
• 51:01
  like, you know, they're. Well, I'm not even going to
• 51:04
  mention his name as I owe it. Yeah, you know what?
• 51:05
  Screw it. You know what I'm talking about
• 51:08
  Mr. Green himself, who goes out there and throws his team under
• 51:12
  the bus and, and, and spits out the the garbage that he puts on
• 51:15
  his podcast. And then you have guys like Klay
• 51:17
  Thompson over the years that at the tail end of his career over
• 51:21
  there with the Golden State Warriors wasn't the same player.
• 51:23
  He wasn't a Splash Brother. He was really a shell of himself
• 51:27
  after he tore his Achilles after tearing his ACL.
• 51:30
  So Myers just wanted to step down.
• 51:32
  He didn't want to deal with that crap on and off the court.
• 51:34
  So he made the smart move. What do you think Steve Kerr is
• 51:37
  going to do, guys? What do you think he's going to
• 51:39
  do? He's going to step down and
• 51:41
  teams are going to go after him. He's going to say, you know
• 51:43
  what? I'm just going to do my
• 51:45
  broadcasting, build a podcast and do what I'm doing over
• 51:49
  there. I was making a lot of money in
• 51:50
  with TNTI, was making a lot of money on the side on some of the
• 51:54
  stuff I was doing with Sirius Radio.
• 51:55
  Why the hell do I need to be a coach anymore?
• 51:57
  I win multiple championships. I'm going to be considered one
• 52:00
  of the greatest coaches of this era.
• 52:02
  And, and you know what? The only reason why is because
• 52:04
  he coached so many great players.
• 52:06
  I'm tired of Steve Carr. I don't want to see Steve
• 52:09
  anymore. He makes me sick.
• 52:11
  OK, I feel bad about the background and his story with
• 52:14
  his father. I, I, I feel terrible.
• 52:17
  But as a person, as a as a head coach, I think he's one of the
• 52:20
  most overrated coaches in NBA frigging history.
• 52:23
  He is not a good coach. I'm telling you, look, they
• 52:26
  bring in Jimmy Butler. They were barely a playoff team.
• 52:29
  They bring in Jimmy buckets. They squeeze into the playoffs
• 52:31
  and everybody was like, including your Shirley.
• 52:33
  Oh, maybe, maybe they can win. And Steve Kerr saying, you know.
• 52:37
  Yeah. We're a good team.
• 52:38
  Let's just get into the playoffs and see how.
• 52:40
  And then, you know, as we heard over the last couple of weeks,
• 52:43
  hey, maybe Steve Kerr believes a really good one.
• 52:46
  Maybe they can get over the top. Maybe they can beat these young
• 52:49
  teams. Give me a break, Steve.
• 52:51
  Stop kissing people's ass asses. I don't want to hear it.
• 52:55
  Go to the go take the San Antonio Spurs job.
• 52:57
  Oh, I forgot. Yeah, they already gave the job
• 53:00
  to somebody else and watch you. So I'm so tired of hearing Steve
• 53:05
  Kerr speak. I already know what the Edwards
• 53:07
  is. I already know what the
• 53:10
  Timberwolves are going to be in the next series.
• 53:12
  It it really depends on who they match up against.
• 53:15
  If they match up against the Nuggets guys, the Nuggets were
• 53:18
  beaten by this Timberwolves team in the semi finals, a team that
• 53:23
  won the championship the year before.
• 53:25
  Don't you think the Nuggets have come out with their best?
• 53:27
  Don't you think the Nuggets are going to do whatever they can to
• 53:29
  knock off the Timberwolves in the Western Conference finals
• 53:32
  and embarrass Anthony Edwards? 100% I I just think they match
• 53:36
  up. Believe it tonight, I know
• 53:37
  everybody's going to think up crazy.
• 53:39
  I think the Timberwolves match up with OKC more than they match
• 53:43
  up against the Nuggets, so they better pray it's OKC and not the
• 53:47
  Nuggets. Yeah, the size and size could
• 53:49
  make it hard with the size versus the Timberwolves,
• 53:52
  especially if Julius Randall becomes the defensive liability
• 53:54
  that we've seen him be with the Knicks at times too.
• 53:56
  And again, the Timberwolves, like I was talking about, the
• 53:58
  Pacers, are going to have the advantage of like the rest
• 54:00
  potentially because this series with the OKC in Denver looks
• 54:02
  really ugly right now. The last two games OKC had the
• 54:05
  big comeback in Game 5, but they were not the ball very well
• 54:08
  before that, especially from three and the Nuggets like.
• 54:10
  Are they? Do you trust the OKC Thunder?
• 54:12
  I I don't they've been kind of up and down like I think.
• 54:15
  This Do you trust the OKC Thunder?
• 54:19
  No. OK, Not at all.
• 54:20
  I'm just I'm just Jabba. You trust OKC?
• 54:24
  I mean, they won 68 games. That doesn't matter.
• 54:27
  That's a very up and down. That's a regular.
• 54:30
  Season top ten all time. Yeah, again this series and and
• 54:34
  I mean the series they again, they swept, they swept the first
• 54:38
  round fine, but this series they've looked very streaky as a
• 54:41
  whole. They they survived, they
• 54:42
  survived game one. They Game 2 they lost on the
• 54:45
  buzzer beater game one, they lost the buzzer.
• 54:46
  I think mixed up, but they had the 1 blowout and that was it.
• 54:49
  This game that they had, they had this insane comeback because
• 54:52
  they finally got loose. Dort to get hot.
• 54:53
  Like those are so very random, the way these kinds of things
• 54:56
  happened, like they're not playing sustainable basketball.
• 54:58
  The Nuggets fired their head coach within a week before the
• 55:02
  playoffs. They're beating they're they're
• 55:05
  competing with an OKC Thunder that has the same coach, same
• 55:08
  team, some same rotation, 100% healthy.
• 55:11
  There's no excuse to this I they won 6768 games and you can't
• 55:15
  knock off a Nugget team that fired their coach.
• 55:18
  Coach have a rookie coach who's never coached in the playoffs
• 55:21
  before in his career. Give me a break.
• 55:23
  This is embarrassing. I don't trust OKCI, really
• 55:27
  don't. And if they're challenged
• 55:28
  against the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves are going to run
• 55:30
  all over them. Yeah, a fish.
• 55:32
  I think that the Thunder kind of remind me of not the early stage
• 55:35
  with the Celtics with the score, but kind of that second stage
• 55:37
  where they they lost to the Bucks in five games.
• 55:39
  They barely survived. I think a Sixers team that had
• 55:41
  the injuries galore like this is not a team that's had the great
• 55:44
  adversity despite having the talent, and I think it does.
• 55:46
  So if it does go to a Game 7, they can't win tonight.
• 55:49
  I think the Nuggets are winning the series.
• 55:50
  I think it's ironic the two one seeds are very similar in that
• 55:54
  they both really haven't been there and they have a lot of
• 55:56
  young players. You know, you got Jalen Williams
• 55:58
  has not played to the level that we saw him play during the
• 56:02
  regular season for OKC. Chet's physicality is a problem
• 56:06
  in the playoffs. We're seeing that right now for
• 56:08
  OKC and Shy has been fantastic. He's great and he's he's helping
• 56:13
  them go and they're moving the ball because he's so good.
• 56:16
  But Yokich is so. So.
• 56:18
  Good. And I still can't believe
• 56:20
  they're going to give Shy the MVP over Yokich because Yokich
• 56:23
  is that entire team. It is absolutely crazy how he
• 56:27
  they don't need to have a coach. Errol, he's the coach on the
• 56:30
  floor. He's directing the offense.
• 56:32
  It's like great, like you said it the other day, Gretzky at the
• 56:35
  late stage, his career operating from behind the net.
• 56:37
  I'm just going to find somebody that's going to be the right
• 56:39
  decision every single time. And if it's not there, I'll take
• 56:42
  the shot and I'll make it too. Did you see when they went to
• 56:44
  the sideline, like Jokic was actually standing, like where
• 56:47
  the coach was like pointing and like basically just in he's the
• 56:50
  coach hosting the huddle himself.
• 56:52
  But you also got to remember, too, when after their first
• 56:55
  series, when Jokic was like giving credit to the coach, but
• 56:59
  it's like he's giving credit to himself and so they lose.
• 57:01
  This game I'm going to show you a highlight.
• 57:02
  Jabba look at this Jogic is a bad pass late in the shot clock.
• 57:07
  Chet on him, 7 foot tall. Just a turn around.
• 57:10
  Look at this. Yeah, Swish what that's that
• 57:14
  shouldn't be possible so easily and look at the bench reaction
• 57:18
  like that should exactly that should not be possible.
• 57:21
  And it's not like homegrown short.
• 57:24
  Or a bad defender. No, you know, as he's actually a
• 57:27
  pretty good perimeter defender for a big man because he's so,
• 57:29
  you know, lanky and mobile and doesn't matter.
• 57:33
  There's no way to stop Yokich when he's playing this way.
• 57:35
  And I think Yokich is going to find a way tonight, and I think
• 57:38
  they're going to find a way to probably win this series.
• 57:40
  Yeah, they just, they show the average in the playoffs.
• 57:42
  He's averaging 30 and Shy's average in 28.
• 57:46
  Yeah, I think it's pretty clear who's better when you see them
• 57:49
  head to head, and that's why I really was excited to see this.
• 57:52
  Even if Denver loses, I think Yokich acquitted himself in that
• 57:56
  argument pretty well. I, I think it's going to be very
• 57:59
  interesting to see what happens if this does go to a game seven.
• 58:03
  I expect, I expect Yokich to take this to a Game 7 tonight
• 58:07
  and it, this is going to be a fun final Game 7 because I think
• 58:12
  this is really, this was the series I wanted to see go all
• 58:15
  the way to game seven. I didn't want to see the Knicks.
• 58:17
  I think we all had it going game. 7 didn't we?
• 58:19
  We did, we did and and I think I don't trust OKC in a hole in a
• 58:23
  wall as we all know. Bagel Hole.
• 58:26
  The Bagel Hole is definitely going to be split in many
• 58:30
  different ways speedy if this happens and it goes to a Game 7.
• 58:33
  Speaking of splitting our deuce of the day.
• 58:36
  The deuce of the day you log not a log.
• 58:40
  I don't have a log, but no. Our deuce of the day goes to the
• 58:50
  NFL owners to discuss resolution to allow NFL players to
• 58:55
  participate in flag football in 2028 Olympics.
• 59:00
  As we all know the NFL and some of the owners, I would say half
• 59:04
  of the owners don't want their players playing in flag
• 59:07
  football. This coming well in in the next
• 59:11
  Olympics in 2028 will will be in two years.
• 59:14
  And here's the thing, I would say when you look at the NFL and
• 59:18
  what flag football is going to bring for the Olympics and for
• 59:22
  the NFL and maybe endorsing international great sponsors,
• 59:28
  you absolutely let these players play in the Olympics.
• 59:32
  If you want to be international and you want to bring
• 59:35
  international organizations from Saudi Arabia, one of the richest
• 59:40
  countries in the world, or England or any one of those
• 59:44
  great, big, expensive, more popular countries, and you want
• 59:49
  to bring, I don't know you, you want to bring NFL teams to these
• 59:53
  countries in the future. You would absolutely want your
• 59:57
  best players playing in a flag football tournament.
• 1:00:00
  I I you're not tackling. You're, you're pulling flags off
• 1:00:04
  to your waist. Yeah, you could tear your ACL.
• 1:00:06
  I mean, you're watching it right now with the NFL Pro Bowl.
• 1:00:10
  This is going to be more competitive.
• 1:00:12
  It's going to be more fun. You get to win a gold medal and
• 1:00:15
  you get to watch some of the fastest, some of the most.
• 1:00:17
  Athletic players on a football field, you'll get to see
• 1:00:21
  offensive lineman play on a three and three team and
• 1:00:24
  actually run down the field and catch a football running a
• 1:00:27
  48A47. This is this is great for the
• 1:00:30
  NFL internationally growing their product.
• 1:00:32
  Why are these owners complaining about it?
• 1:00:35
  You want the fans to be happy. You want international sponsors
• 1:00:40
  to love you. You absolutely allow it.
• 1:00:43
  So my deuce of the day goes to the ownerships and all the
• 1:00:47
  stupid owners that are arguing that the NFL should not attend
• 1:00:52
  the Olympics in the flag football tournament.
• 1:00:54
  So my deuce of the day goes to the NFL owners.
• 1:00:57
  Please guys, stop being I don't know who it is.
• 1:01:01
  It might be Jerry, it might be other guys.
• 1:01:03
  Woody Johnson. Stop being stupid, stop being
• 1:01:06
  idiots and bring the NFL to the Olympics.
• 1:01:10
  When we come back, ladies and gentlemen, he doesn't need an
• 1:01:14
  applause because you know, he, he, he knows a little bit about
• 1:01:18
  craziness as he was on The Sopranos.
• 1:01:20
  And you know, stay away from, you know, the mafia because if
• 1:01:24
  you need somebody, you can go to this guy.
• 1:01:25
  We will be talking to well known actor Robert Funaro played
• 1:01:30
  Eugene on The Sopranos. But first, our sports minutes.
• 1:01:37
  This is the Jabba and the Mouth sportsman at.
• 1:01:41
  All right, guys, Aaron Fishman here with your Sportsman, and we
• 1:01:44
  got a couple of stories before we get into the scores going on
• 1:01:48
  tonight in a new book called American Kings, a biography of
• 1:01:52
  the quarterback by Seth Wickersham that's causing a
• 1:01:55
  ruckus in Chicago today. In a recently released excerpt
• 1:01:59
  of the book, which will be published in September and
• 1:02:01
  feature many quarterbacks in the NFL, in college and in the youth
• 1:02:04
  circuits, it has some interesting tidbits from Caleb
• 1:02:07
  Williams and his father, who both expressed their desire not
• 1:02:11
  to play in Chicago. Caleb at one point wondered
• 1:02:15
  aloud to his confidence, Do I want to go there?
• 1:02:17
  I don't think I can do it with former Bears offensive
• 1:02:21
  coordinator Shane Waldron. I don't want my son playing for
• 1:02:24
  the Bears. The older Williams said that
• 1:02:27
  several agents in 2024, the rookie cap is just
• 1:02:30
  unconstitutional. It's the worst piece of S I've
• 1:02:33
  ever read. It's the worst in sports
• 1:02:35
  history, Caleb said I need to go to the Vikings, according to
• 1:02:38
  this report, and his father said let's do it.
• 1:02:42
  And when they brought it up to Bears GM Ryan Polls, he said
• 1:02:46
  we're drafting you no matter what.
• 1:02:48
  Williams wasn't exactly wrong in his assessment of the now fired
• 1:02:52
  staff of Matt Iberfluss and Shane Waldron.
• 1:02:55
  But I'm sure this isn't going to endear him or be a very good
• 1:02:58
  look for his fans in the Windy City.
• 1:03:01
  Next story, the Colts delete a Tyreek Hill diss on socials and
• 1:03:06
  apologize. So the Colts were blasted by
• 1:03:08
  fans and league sources alike after their taunting of Dolphins
• 1:03:12
  wide receiver Tyreekill on social media.
• 1:03:14
  As the NFL released the 2025 schedule, Most teams have turned
• 1:03:17
  to social media to make video promoting the games to their
• 1:03:20
  fans. Well the Colts decided the way
• 1:03:22
  to promote their game versus the Dolphins this year would be to
• 1:03:24
  show what looks like Tyree Kill getting arrested by the Coast
• 1:03:27
  Guard. This of course is reference to
• 1:03:29
  Hills arrest and then handcuffs TV celebration 3 hours later on
• 1:03:32
  an 80 yard catch and run last year in week one of the regular
• 1:03:36
  season. The Colts video also apparently
• 1:03:39
  spoofed the Microsoft IP of Minecraft, which also had to be
• 1:03:43
  another reason why it was brought down.
• 1:03:44
  We removed our scheduled release video because it exceeded our
• 1:03:48
  rights with Microsoft and included an insensitive clip
• 1:03:51
  involving Dolphins wide receiver Tyree Kill.
• 1:03:53
  We sincerely apologize to Microsoft and Tyree.
• 1:03:57
  Well, the Colts seem pretty full of themselves for a team going
• 1:04:00
  into the season with a QB room of Anthony Richardson, Daniel
• 1:04:04
  Jones, and sixth round rookie Riley Leonard.
• 1:04:07
  Maybe it's just just a couple of knuckleheads in the social media
• 1:04:09
  department, but as they say, if the horseshoe fits.
• 1:04:12
  And finally, Nick Cage is doing a John Madden movie.
• 1:04:17
  Yes, David O Russell, the director behind Silver Linings
• 1:04:21
  Playbook and American Hustle, started production on Tuesday of
• 1:04:24
  a new sports movie. The movie, titled Unknown, is a
• 1:04:26
  biopic about NFL legendary Hall of Fame coach and announcer John
• 1:04:31
  Madden. The movie will focus on Madden's
• 1:04:33
  coaching career in Oakland and will feature his Super Bowl
• 1:04:35
  victory. Madden will be played by Academy
• 1:04:38
  Award winner Nick Cage and Al Davis will be played by another
• 1:04:41
  Academy Award winner in Christian Bale.
• 1:04:43
  Yes, Batman from the years ago and many other great movies
• 1:04:46
  including American Hustle. Both actors are known for diving
• 1:04:49
  deep into their parts and picks have been released of both of
• 1:04:52
  their both of them in their Madden and Davis get UPS.

  heard that before. No typical Preakness, no typical
• 1:07:54
  horses. The horses, nobody's talking.
• 1:07:57
  We have a betting guy that made $80,000 or something like that.
• 1:08:01
  I farted with. That.
• 1:08:03
  What he talks about the horses, you got to talk.
• 1:08:06
  About horses you. Got to talk about horses, you
• 1:08:09
  know, they're this big, you know?
• 1:08:11
  I have to be like in the freakness.
• 1:08:13
  So you like I made a few dollars on the Derby myself?
• 1:08:16
  All right. I had some trotters that ran at
• 1:08:19
  Yonkers. I had some trotters that ran at
• 1:08:21
  Yonkers. Oh yeah, I had some.
• 1:08:23
  I had some horses that ran at Belmont and Aqueduct that one
• 1:08:27
  time some years back during the California Chrome time.
• 1:08:31
  Oh yeah. Speedy likes horses, right?
• 1:08:33
  Speedy. I know, but our friend, our
• 1:08:35
  friend Chaz does. He's made made a lot of money on
• 1:08:38
  that. You made what?
• 1:08:40
  Our friend Chaz has made a lot of money.
• 1:08:41
  On that, I'm talking about you. You love horses.
• 1:08:43
  I said no, but I said our friend Chaz.
• 1:08:44
  Have you ever thought about letting a horse ride you?
• 1:08:47
  Yes or no? No, why not?
• 1:08:49
  Because it's a lot bigger than me.
• 1:08:52
  Speedy's mom. Got it going on.
• 1:08:55
  Ladies and gentlemen, we have the one and only Robert Funaro
• 1:08:59
  and Rob. You know, it's interesting.
• 1:09:01
  I, I know you're a sports fan, but we're going to stay away
• 1:09:04
  from sports right now. We're going to talk about some.
• 1:09:06
  Sports. I like horse racing.
• 1:09:07
  You like all right, You like horse racing.
• 1:09:09
  He likes horse racing, all right.
• 1:09:11
  But we're we'll, we'll get into some horse racing a little bit
• 1:09:14
  later. I want to talk.
• 1:09:15
  About nickname for you is big. Horse.
• 1:09:17
  Big horse. I like that.
• 1:09:19
  That would be a good Italian name.
• 1:09:20
  You can call me Errol, the big horse Marts.
• 1:09:23
  I like that. Call me big horse.
• 1:09:25
  All right. So obviously you played Eugene
• 1:09:28
  and The Sopranos. I you know, I, I got a chance to
• 1:09:31
  watch the first season. So I know who you played.
• 1:09:33
  I know a little bit about what you you, you, who you played on
• 1:09:37
  the show. What was it like working on one
• 1:09:40
  of the greatest shows in American history?
• 1:09:45
  It was, it was really, you don't really appreciate the these
• 1:09:48
  things until you you don't have them any longer until, until
• 1:09:52
  you, you die. But it it was a great
• 1:09:55
  experience. And Jim Gandolfini, who was a
• 1:09:57
  friend, he set the tone, a man of great humility and a good
• 1:10:02
  friend who sent the elevator down, so to say, as Jack Lemmon
• 1:10:06
  would say for his other friend is that actor or colleague, so
• 1:10:09
  to say. So by him setting the tone, it
• 1:10:13
  was just like a family and no one.
• 1:10:16
  There were no personalities, people yelling at each other.
• 1:10:19
  No, I won't do that, do this. Everyone fell in line because of
• 1:10:23
  James. What what?
• 1:10:24
  He set the tone of humility and grace, so to say.
• 1:10:28
  And and he was very generous man also.
• 1:10:31
  So I owe a lot to him. So any, any guest stars that are
• 1:10:34
  on that show, probably a lot of them that you had a connection
• 1:10:37
  with either on the set or even outside of it, good stories with
• 1:10:41
  them. Yeah, I mean, we had
• 1:10:44
  connections, connections with Maureen Van Zandt and and Vinnie
• 1:10:48
  Vincent Pastela, Big Pussy and Maureen.
• 1:10:51
  We we did some plays together. We had a, we had a theatre
• 1:10:54
  company called, well, it was once Renegade Theatre Company
• 1:10:58
  and we did some plays by Louis Larusso, some Italian good, some
• 1:11:02
  some great Italian playwrights. We did lamppost reunion with
• 1:11:05
  Frank Pellegrino from Rail. So there's some great
• 1:11:08
  relationship. Everyone kind of fell in for the
• 1:11:10
  their friends. And so they, they were my good
• 1:11:12
  friends and, and we did plays together.
• 1:11:15
  So that was cool, you know, besides everything else.
• 1:11:19
  I got to know Lorraine pretty well through Mitchell Modell
• 1:11:22
  because they live by each other and you know, it was always just
• 1:11:25
  interesting like her, her character and like her
• 1:11:28
  personality and and how it was she and she was always like it
• 1:11:31
  was really hard to play because I was so loud and in this, this
• 1:11:35
  had to be a different role. Was there somebody when you were
• 1:11:38
  working together that you just felt like you clicked with them
• 1:11:41
  better than certain other people?
• 1:11:42
  Because a lot of people have that like I work with a certain
• 1:11:45
  catcher because it, you know, does this was was there
• 1:11:48
  something that you worked with or it was just like it was
• 1:11:50
  natural and you could just either ad Lib and go off script
• 1:11:53
  and but it. One thing he couldn't do job was
• 1:11:57
  it was go off script because they had the the first a DS they
• 1:12:01
  were there and the script supervisors.
• 1:12:04
  You had to go by every single word on this TV show and and you
• 1:12:07
  couldn't add Lib like I did with Marty Scorsese for the Irishman
• 1:12:10
  and Vinyl and stuff like that. There are other directors,
• 1:12:13
  especially in film. You can you want to get that
• 1:12:16
  reality. It's a different kind of
• 1:12:18
  experience, but in TV the writers have a little bit few
• 1:12:21
  more rights and they really were very, very, very strict about
• 1:12:26
  it. But if you're asking who I love
• 1:12:28
  to work with, well, it was always James, especially on the
• 1:12:30
  big episode that I had to members only where I had some
• 1:12:33
  sort of trajectory. My my storyline of, of, you
• 1:12:36
  know, inheriting money from Victor Borg is agent.
• 1:12:40
  My aunt was married to Victor Borg is agent.
• 1:12:42
  I mean, where did they get this stuff, you know?
• 1:12:44
  But anyway, it was a great script and work with James and
• 1:12:48
  it was great to work with him and, and we didn't really, you
• 1:12:50
  know, we were scheduled to work early on in the episode, our big
• 1:12:54
  scene. And he kept on delaying it and
• 1:12:57
  delaying it. I think he really wanted me to
• 1:12:59
  get it, kind of get the running in into the marathon, so to say,
• 1:13:05
  get my second win. And when I had my second win, we
• 1:13:07
  did a great scene together. Speedy.
• 1:13:09
  So, you know, it was great to work with him.
• 1:13:11
  Speedy's got a lot of second wins, by the way, You're going
• 1:13:13
  to get to know Speedy a little bit.
• 1:13:15
  You know, he definitely doesn't shut up and he drives every
• 1:13:19
  wind. He's like a big wind bag.
• 1:13:22
  We are now talking to well known actor Robert Funaro, played
• 1:13:26
  Eugene on The Sopranos. You know, there was a guy on the
• 1:13:29
  show that really stuck, stood out to me because I'm a big
• 1:13:32
  Bruce Springsteen fan. Steven Van Zandt, very well
• 1:13:36
  known guitarist, he's been around for a very, very long
• 1:13:39
  time. What was it like working with
• 1:13:41
  Steven? I've heard he's been in over the
• 1:13:43
  years. He's a very unique individual,
• 1:13:45
  very funny, very outgoing. What was it like working with
• 1:13:48
  somebody like Steven? Stevie, a great person and
• 1:13:54
  another man of great humility when he was there to act, not
• 1:13:58
  to, you know, talk about Bruce and stuff.
• 1:14:01
  And it was great to know Maureen, who played his wife on
• 1:14:05
  on the show because we did plays together and I got to see all
• 1:14:08
  the concerts, went to see Bruce. That was a little perk that I
• 1:14:11
  loved, and not because because we were friends and he always
• 1:14:15
  came to all our shows, all our Off Broadway shows, off of
• 1:14:19
  Broadway shows, Off Broadway shows.
• 1:14:20
  He would always come to them and and give us his support, even
• 1:14:24
  actually funded some of them. So he's a great guy.
• 1:14:27
  And as I said, you know, it's all business.
• 1:14:29
  It's all acting when he's acting.
• 1:14:31
  And the one great thing about him, you can ask him any Trivia
• 1:14:36
  Rock'n'roll trivia question and man, damn, he's right there.
• 1:14:40
  I'll have the answer for you. You know what I mean?
• 1:14:42
  I've I've heard he's a big, he's a big sport sports fan.
• 1:14:45
  He's a big Yankee fan. So I've also he.
• 1:14:47
  Likes to play the horses too, yeah?
• 1:14:50
  Who? Who doesn't like playing the
• 1:14:51
  horses? Except Speedy.
• 1:14:52
  Speedy likes horses. Riding him instead of watching.
• 1:14:55
  If there was a horse riding me, I would not be here right now,
• 1:14:57
  I'd be in the hospital. Yeah, you'd be in the hospital.
• 1:15:01
  Well, no. He'd be dead.
• 1:15:02
  He'd be dead. What is this hospital the size?
• 1:15:07
  Or what is this horse the size of an elephant?
• 1:15:10
  Hey, have you screamed their their manhood dog?
• 1:15:13
  I don't know anything about horses, manhoods, Java I have.
• 1:15:23
  No comment. You made the right decision I
• 1:15:26
  thought. I thought, I thought Errol will
• 1:15:27
  be the one to ever think about that.
• 1:15:29
  I'm surprised that it was Java this.
• 1:15:30
  Time. Do you want to jerk me off?
• 1:15:33
  God no Niffin Soundboard Edition.
• 1:15:37
  I got to go back off this. Intelligence method that is not
• 1:15:40
  looking good for your 'cause right now.
• 1:15:43
  All right, moving off of horse, moving off of horses, Ultra
• 1:15:46
  lives, I know you like. Use the answer on the grounds
• 1:15:50
  that might incriminate me. Oh my God, what is this now?
• 1:15:54
  That's an upside down horse, yeah.
• 1:15:56
  Who's riding him? That's it.
• 1:16:00
  All right. I have a suspect.
• 1:16:01
  I believe he's in his car right now.
• 1:16:04
  I wonder if he has some involvement in this because he
• 1:16:07
  went horses. Horses like saddles.
• 1:16:10
  They're not far behind the leashes.
• 1:16:13
  A lot of hot ladies. So Rob, before this gets too
• 1:16:17
  further out of hand, any any of your roles that maybe we're not
• 1:16:21
  as popular as something like The Sopranos or the Irish Men that
• 1:16:23
  you had a particularly favorite role that you liked getting
• 1:16:26
  involved with? And why would that be?
• 1:16:29
  Oh OK, I did like working on. Well, the Irishman was really a
• 1:16:37
  fun. Love that movie.
• 1:16:38
  But it was the second thing off of I did Vinyl where I played
• 1:16:44
  Tony with Bobby Carnevale and I got a chance to work with Bobby
• 1:16:48
  Carnevale. But it was the first time I ever
• 1:16:49
  worked with Robert De Niro and that was a it was great.
• 1:16:53
  I had a great scene with him and when I walked off the set, I
• 1:16:58
  said, jeez, I was just with Max Katie.
• 1:17:00
  I just was hanging out with taxi driver.
• 1:17:02
  I was hanging out with all those guys, man.
• 1:17:04
  And it was, it was really a great feeling to work with Bobby
• 1:17:09
  De Niro and I knew some people that he knew.
• 1:17:11
  So I was able to strike up a conversation because he's a very
• 1:17:13
  quiet guy and to kind of break the ice, so to say, because I
• 1:17:17
  played it one of his friend and I kind of introduced him to as
• 1:17:21
  a, as a, as the Irishman. I introduced him to Frank
• 1:17:25
  Sheeran. I introduced him to Skinny
• 1:17:26
  Razor. So that was a great experience.
• 1:17:28
  Also, you know, I played in with Jessica Biel and who's beautiful
• 1:17:32
  in the center and that was a great role too.
• 1:17:37
  Although I went in as Ron Tana and they changed the name to
• 1:17:40
  Tanetti, but I was still happy to be the to be the
• 1:17:43
  father-in-law. So not a non typical wise guy
• 1:17:46
  kind of manner, a working class kind of guy, almost like De Niro
• 1:17:50
  when he played in Bronx Tale. So those roles are kind of red
• 1:17:52
  lettered days for guys because we get typecast a lot.
• 1:17:55
  I would have been Jessica Sinner, OK?
• 1:17:57
  I would have been like, Jessica, come over here, baby, give me a
• 1:17:59
  kiss. All right on the cheek.
• 1:18:01
  Right over here man. Give me a nice meal.
• 1:18:02
  She ran the series. I wouldn't have been.
• 1:18:05
  I would have been on the call for the calls me for the next
• 1:18:07
  day. Listen, she gave me a kiss.
• 1:18:09
  I might have to be in the backroom if you know what I
• 1:18:11
  mean. I'll tell you, yeah.
• 1:18:14
  Certain people you work with, you know, and she was one of
• 1:18:17
  them that you like. When you look at her, you say,
• 1:18:19
  holy shit. Angie Harmon, also from Law and
• 1:18:22
  Order. It's like you, like, you like a
• 1:18:24
  deer caught in the headlights. The beauty is just, like, so
• 1:18:27
  fucking beautiful, you know what I mean?
• 1:18:29
  It's like, whoa, you know? Beautiful, beautiful.
• 1:18:33
  Yeah, there there's some you see and you, you probably come
• 1:18:37
  across this too and in, in all your years doing it.
• 1:18:40
  But there's some that are actually beautiful.
• 1:18:42
  Like more beautiful in person than you actually see them on
• 1:18:45
  screen. Yeah, me.
• 1:18:47
  Well, I I wouldn't go that far. Let's not push.
• 1:18:51
  It Hey, wait a second. You never met me in person.
• 1:18:53
  How do you know? How the hell do you know I'm a
• 1:18:56
  beautiful guy? Wait, look at this wonderful
• 1:18:59
  smile. Of of 5 foot 10 1/2.
• 1:19:03
  That's right. They said yes, 510 1/2, a little
• 1:19:06
  bit over 1/2, but we'll say 1/2. OK, I'm just, I'm trying to help
• 1:19:09
  you here. Go ahead.
• 1:19:10
  I'm sorry. Robert, when you were younger,
• 1:19:12
  like, was this always your passion or did somehow somebody
• 1:19:17
  push you in that direction? Or was this you just fell into
• 1:19:20
  it? There was no pushing for me.
• 1:19:23
  I, I mean, my uncle was a priest, he was a Monsignor.
• 1:19:26
  He raised money for Catholic Charities by putting on plays.
• 1:19:28
  He started really humbly in in Howard Beach.
• 1:19:32
  And then he related was he was later elevated to Brooklyn
• 1:19:37
  Catholic Charities and he raised a lot of money by doing
• 1:19:40
  musicals. So the family would always go to
• 1:19:43
  to see his plays and then he would take us to see plays.
• 1:19:46
  One of the most memorable plays was the chorus line.
• 1:19:48
  And when I went to see that, I was hooked.
• 1:19:50
  It's just that was a great show. Michael Bennett.
• 1:19:53
  The whole idea of of just wanted you just to, to, to to do it.
• 1:19:58
  From there I was hooked and. And and then of course, I did it
• 1:20:02
  one year with Pace University College as I wanted to be a
• 1:20:05
  businessman and I failed that miserably.
• 1:20:09
  I wrote a poem for my final don't quit.
• 1:20:12
  And then I went home and I and I, as I was talking to my mom
• 1:20:15
  and she said, why don't you do something you like to do?
• 1:20:17
  And it was a trauma program. So I fell into that.
• 1:20:19
  Although I didn't graduate trauma the the program, I did
• 1:20:24
  start it. So to say I'm more or less
• 1:20:26
  working towards a professional professional on a professional
• 1:20:30
  level. We are talking to well, we are
• 1:20:32
  talking a well known actor, Robert Funaro.
• 1:20:35
  Let's get into your book, OK, Because you know, Nathan, Nathan
• 1:20:39
  was telling me that you wrote a book.
• 1:20:40
  I hopefully I was in it. Even though you don't know me,
• 1:20:43
  maybe you you put a little passage about some guy that I
• 1:20:46
  might meet in the future named Errol.
• 1:20:49
  I mean, tell us a little bit about your book.
• 1:20:52
  How long did it take you to write it?
• 1:20:54
  Obviously and obvious. You know, I seen you do a lot of
• 1:20:58
  book signings. How long has this book been out
• 1:21:01
  and and how's it doing right now on Amazon?
• 1:21:04
  Well, it's doing really well. It's doing really well.
• 1:21:06
  I mean, it opened up opening night was like in February and
• 1:21:11
  we, and we saw quite a few, we saw we sold out on the, on
• 1:21:14
  Paisancon. You know, The thing is COVID
• 1:21:17
  happened. We started, I started cooking
• 1:21:19
  and I started doing this thing with my hand, all the food and
• 1:21:22
  stuff, and I put him on Instagram.
• 1:21:25
  So, you know, my manager was really adept.
• 1:21:27
  Andrew Jedlicka. He he he suggested I do this
• 1:21:30
  cookbook and I said another act that Stanley Tucci get a
• 1:21:34
  cookbook. It's stupid, you know, and I
• 1:21:36
  said, you know, what the hell am I doing?
• 1:21:38
  I'm really not really working. It's like very little work.
• 1:21:40
  We had the COVID, then the strike.
• 1:21:43
  And I said, you know what, I'll do it.
• 1:21:45
  But you know what I'll do? I'll tell you what I'll I'll
• 1:21:49
  book ended with like 8 pull 8 episodes.
• 1:21:52
  I did like 2425, I'm not sure. And I'll pull 8 episodes that I
• 1:21:56
  really enjoyed and I'll talk about my experience of getting
• 1:22:00
  on the show, my relationship to James Gambolofini.
• 1:22:03
  We did Streetcar Named Desire prior eight years in the 80s, We
• 1:22:07
  did that. We toured Scandinavia for three
• 1:22:09
  months. Later on he came back to
• 1:22:11
  America. I was working.
• 1:22:12
  So it's all in a book. I'll talk about how I got on the
• 1:22:14
  show, what happened to me, how I landed a particular role.
• 1:22:18
  You have to read the book to to fly.
• 1:22:20
  And then I was it didn't happen that role.
• 1:22:23
  And then I was given Eugene and for actors also.
• 1:22:27
  And then, of course, twofold being for actors and secondly,
• 1:22:31
  also to to carry on the legacy of so many great recipes.
• 1:22:35
  I'm sure you have them. Everyone has that you wish you
• 1:22:38
  had a rest of that recipe that grabbed that meatloaf recipe.
• 1:22:42
  So at least these are down and and so later on when I'm when
• 1:22:48
  I'm pushing up daisies, they can pick up a book and say that was
• 1:22:51
  that was Rob, uncle Rob or great grandpa Rob and and let's let's
• 1:22:56
  do a let's do a Sunday sauce. You know, Mama Fanara Sunday
• 1:22:59
  sauce. You know what I'm saying?
• 1:23:00
  That's. Not what I know about the sauce,
• 1:23:03
  man. You got to stay away from Speedy
• 1:23:04
  sauce. I mean, that could be really
• 1:23:05
  dangerous, as we all know. Now you don't want, you don't
• 1:23:08
  want me cooking Italian food. You're in New York.
• 1:23:12
  He's really simple. There's step by step
• 1:23:14
  instructions. It's really, you know, it's
• 1:23:17
  just, it's about 125 pages. It's not like it's not it's,
• 1:23:22
  it's not Hemingway. You might need Speedy's recipe,
• 1:23:27
  if you know what I mean. A little.
• 1:23:29
  You wouldn't want that. Caesar sauce.
• 1:23:31
  You would not want. That a little squirt you can
• 1:23:33
  burn? You can burn that recipe.
• 1:23:35
  Salad dressing, Robert, You can. Robert, you can.
• 1:23:38
  Next, next recipe. If you ever do one of those
• 1:23:40
  recipe shows, you could just take my recipe and burn it
• 1:23:42
  first, then cook I'll in front, I'll in front of your viewers,
• 1:23:46
  because I I would be. Fart Fish said a good thing.
• 1:23:51
  We should, we should. We should get Robert's book,
• 1:23:54
  pick out a recipe and then have Speedy film and then post it.
• 1:23:58
  If you want a blooper reel, you could do that, Robert.
• 1:24:01
  You do not want to see this guy cook.
• 1:24:03
  Everybody says, listen, I I've been said, I've been told many,
• 1:24:07
  many times that hey, you don't cook.
• 1:24:09
  But when I do cook, I'm actually pretty good.
• 1:24:11
  When you watch this guy cook, he'll mess up tuna fish, you'll
• 1:24:15
  mess up macaroni and cheese. You do not want him to touch a
• 1:24:19
  pot, a hot pan or anything. He'll screw it up.
• 1:24:23
  So stay away from my food, speedy, especially with those
• 1:24:27
  juices, if you know what I mean. By the way, we are talking a
• 1:24:29
  well known actor, Robert Funaro. You know, Rob, you were talking
• 1:24:33
  about the Preakness and it's coming out right up.
• 1:24:37
  And I know we're going to have Chaz on the show.
• 1:24:40
  Is he coming on tonight? Johnny is coming on.
• 1:24:43
  I'm not sure about Chaz. The Preakness, this guy, I don't
• 1:24:46
  know if you've listened to a show and if you haven't, you
• 1:24:48
  should because Chaz, he had the trifecta not once but twice
• 1:24:52
  back-to-back years. This guy is as good a pick
• 1:24:55
  picker when it comes to horses. It's absolutely amazing.
• 1:24:58
  But I have been, you know, skewing through the different
• 1:25:02
  horses that are going to be in in the Preakness.
• 1:25:04
  And one horse that really sticks out to me, the name is American
• 1:25:09
  Promise. Now you're a horse fan.
• 1:25:12
  Tell us a little bit about American Promise.
• 1:25:15
  It's 50. It's 15 to 1 to win the
• 1:25:18
  Preakness. Well, you know, he's a Dwayne
• 1:25:21
  Lucas is always a dangerous trainer.
• 1:25:24
  By the way, I I did have the exact the straight Colvin and
• 1:25:28
  win money on the on on sovereignty.
• 1:25:31
  So, Oh really, I got a pretty good, I've got a pretty good
• 1:25:34
  return on investments for the Kentucky Derby, but I'm not
• 1:25:37
  going to, I'm not going to say that the, the, you know, America
• 1:25:40
  promises you're going to get a price.
• 1:25:42
  The horses I, I like another horse, a couple of horses.
• 1:25:46
  I do like journalists to win the race.
• 1:25:48
  I think he deserves, he deserves his props and I'd love to see
• 1:25:52
  him win. And I think he's the best
• 1:25:53
  trained horse in the field. But I also like this other horse
• 1:25:57
  by Todd Pletcher, who came in second to sovereignty for 2nd
• 1:26:01
  place at River Thames. So my choice is journalism over
• 1:26:06
  River Thames. And I'm, and, you know, you got
• 1:26:08
  to make a choice and you can't play them all.
• 1:26:11
  And those are the two that I, those are the two that I like
• 1:26:14
  based on River Thames performance.
• 1:26:15
  And he skipped the Derby. So Todd Pletcher, who was a very
• 1:26:19
  good trainer, he never won the race, but I think he, he, he
• 1:26:24
  might come close to winning at this time.
• 1:26:25
  But I do believe that journalism is the best horse.
• 1:26:28
  It's going to be raining. What do you, what do you look
• 1:26:31
  into a horse that makes you think that this particular horse
• 1:26:34
  is going to win that race? I mean, certain fields are a
• 1:26:38
  little bit longer, so you need a obviously a longer stride.
• 1:26:41
  There's some horses that are better and smaller, you know,
• 1:26:45
  smaller races. A small example, Sovereignty ran
• 1:26:48
  in the Florida Derby, but you're looking for an angle.
• 1:26:51
  So now his jockey where I'm in the Florida was Manny Franco.
• 1:26:54
  Now Franco wasn't his regular jockey.
• 1:26:57
  He was Junior Alvarado, who was fine but 60 thousandth a whip of
• 1:27:00
  the made time. But that's bullshit anyway
• 1:27:02
  because anyway, moving on. So Franco, if you watch that
• 1:27:07
  race close, you see he starts getting up on Sovereignty really
• 1:27:10
  late. Now he was beaten, he was
• 1:27:12
  defeated, but he starts moving him really because he didn't
• 1:27:15
  really know the horse like Junior did.
• 1:27:17
  So Junior being hurt, he's coming back and he almost won
• 1:27:21
  that race. He was come back.
• 1:27:22
  So you got to say to yourself, geez, another eighth of a mile
• 1:27:24
  and you look at his breeding, look who he's from into mischief
• 1:27:28
  is is is genealogy, so to say his genes.
• 1:27:31
  So he's got it inside himself to do that distance.
• 1:27:34
  Now you look him come up and you say to yourself, well, he
• 1:27:37
  doesn't really need to win the race to get into the Derby.
• 1:27:40
  A lot of these three-year olds, they have to train and they
• 1:27:42
  learn as they go along. So you say to yourself, he's a
• 1:27:46
  perfect candidate to close on a a speedy race, which is a race
• 1:27:51
  that the horses go out really quickly, which they did in the
• 1:27:54
  Kentucky Derby. 46, you know, 59, you know, I mean, so you,
• 1:28:02
  you're looking for that now. But the jockey angle was my
• 1:28:04
  biggest, biggest factor because I I knew that, you know, Franco
• 1:28:09
  started late on him and I knew that junior who was back on him,
• 1:28:12
  he was recovered that he really was going to do do his best to,
• 1:28:16
  to get him going on the in the right stage.
• 1:28:18
  And, and I knew that he can and journalism.
• 1:28:21
  He almost got beat by Baeza. He was very vulnerable.
• 1:28:25
  And in that respect, although he's a great horse, he's always
• 1:28:28
  been almost feet. So with another eighth of a
• 1:28:32
  mile, maybe he can sovereignty did it.
• 1:28:36
  So that's what you're looking for.
• 1:28:37
  Now in this particular race, you know, you got to think that
• 1:28:40
  journalism could do two things. He can run fast and he can rate.
• 1:28:43
  So he's, it's only 8 horse fields, a short field.
• 1:28:46
  He's going to go out and he's going to and he's and he's going
• 1:28:48
  to be with the winners up. He's going to be with the horse
• 1:28:50
  up top. Is he in shape?
• 1:28:51
  He's in perfect shape. River Thames ran against great
• 1:28:55
  horses and he came second and third.
• 1:28:57
  So if you want a little bit of an exact the price, you go with
• 1:29:01
  that. So that's that's my that's my
• 1:29:03
  strategy. Look for always look for an
• 1:29:05
  angle error. It could be in in the jeans like
• 1:29:07
  some horses have wet track, they have it on the wet track
• 1:29:10
  performance. They they have a gene out in
• 1:29:12
  their genes. They're great Wet, Wet runners,
• 1:29:15
  you know. Do you think, do you think a
• 1:29:17
  sloppy track affects the horses as as far as the genealogy of
• 1:29:21
  it? Because I wanted to get in that
• 1:29:22
  because a sloppy track changes your strategy on how whether you
• 1:29:26
  know you come early, you come late, you go on the inside, or
• 1:29:29
  you try to come on the outside. Absolutely it it definitely does
• 1:29:32
  a lot of like one one horse that's a great at a a great
• 1:29:37
  breeder of sire is called flatter.
• 1:29:39
  Whenever you see a a sloppy race and you see that the breeding on
• 1:29:43
  one horse is flattered, no matter what the price is always
• 1:29:45
  bet that horse usually sometimes I I would say a good a good
• 1:29:49
  number of times you'll you'll be you'll you'll win.
• 1:29:52
  You're looking for wet track form.
• 1:29:53
  Not all horses. Now.
• 1:29:54
  I think that if the track was dry, I think journalism would
• 1:29:57
  have put up a better fight. I'm not so sure he would have
• 1:30:00
  lost. It was a given given that field
• 1:30:02
  because he's a great horse. He really is.
• 1:30:04
  He's at a, he's at AI believe he's out of curling and that's a
• 1:30:07
  pretty good horse. Before we let you go, because I
• 1:30:10
  know you're a busy guy, tell us a little bit about some of the
• 1:30:14
  things that you're going to be coming doing in the next couple
• 1:30:17
  of months and coming up where some of the fans could see you
• 1:30:20
  or get your autograph or meet you in person.
• 1:30:24
  Well, you can go to Instagram and you can friend me and you
• 1:30:27
  can find out what, what what I'm doing.
• 1:30:30
  You'd also purchase my book through Instagram on Amazon
• 1:30:33
  Prime by hitting the link. I'm on there.
• 1:30:36
  There's a Kindle copy, a soft cover, a hardcover.
• 1:30:42
  I prefer the hardcover. It's the the pitch is a little
• 1:30:44
  bit more glossier. That's a little shinier.
• 1:30:47
  I'm doing Barnes, another Barnes and Noble in Massapequa June
• 1:30:50
  14th at between 1:00 and 3:00. So I'll I'll be up there in Long
• 1:30:55
  Island and my old family stomping ground Long Island Cafe
• 1:30:59
  Michelangelo. We're doing a cigar event.
• 1:31:01
  I do I do represent the cigar company called Amerita and a
• 1:31:04
  coffee company called Amerita. Meet Jason Sarbone and Dan
• 1:31:07
  Gamaldi. We promote this cigar and coffee
• 1:31:11
  company. So we're doing something in at
• 1:31:13
  Cafe Michelangelo in in Philadelphia coming up with it's
• 1:31:16
  on, you know, it's on, as I said, on Amazon.
• 1:31:18
  I also have an independent film called Critical Acclaim the
• 1:31:21
  movie, and that's on Amazon too. That's a pretty cool, cool film
• 1:31:24
  about a film director that gets a bad review and he gets kind of
• 1:31:28
  goes berserk. So what else is new?
• 1:31:29
  When, when you're actually directing in a movie, you should
• 1:31:32
  invite us to be, you know, play a part.
• 1:31:34
  I mean, Jabba could play the guy that I killed in the movie.
• 1:31:38
  I mean, that would be great. I'd be the the mafia killer.
• 1:31:41
  I'd be that person that you're hiring to go and kill.
• 1:31:44
  Them you want to clip them? Yeah, I want to.
• 1:31:45
  Clip them. I want to clip them or beat them
• 1:31:47
  with, you know, a baseball bat. I'd rather, instead of using a
• 1:31:50
  gun, I'd rather use a weapon. You know, I want to watch the
• 1:31:54
  guy bleed out, You know, I know killing somebody.
• 1:31:57
  Films that we saw, like weapons like that were, well, you know,
• 1:32:01
  you got to go to the golf or the Sunny Corleone.
• 1:32:04
  That beaten was beautiful. How about that was a beautiful
• 1:32:06
  beaten. Yeah, how about, how about
• 1:32:07
  cutting the horses? It's going to be one of the top
• 1:32:10
  five Beaten's ever, right? Yeah, I like.
• 1:32:12
  I like. The name can you name?
• 1:32:13
  One can you name 1 Joe Burke? Can you name one Speedy?
• 1:32:16
  Speedy that you that. You remember that one?
• 1:32:19
  Not better than that one. Yeah.
• 1:32:23
  Last summer we've. Got the set off and it just
• 1:32:25
  rolls down the on the ground. Oh that last samurai well, you
• 1:32:29
  know yeah, that's that's some good ones there the samurai
• 1:32:31
  films Zaitochi and Matusi and Mafun, there's some great the
• 1:32:35
  samurai films that but that that's all clean cut.
• 1:32:39
  It's not really getting torturing them.
• 1:32:41
  You know, I tell you one film and I know you got to go.
• 1:32:45
  We got to go. We got to end this one film
• 1:32:47
  Casino when Frank Vincent and he takes Joe Pesci and his brother
• 1:32:56
  to those weeds, you know, and they have the two brothers and
• 1:33:00
  they're going to kill him and they start hitting with the
• 1:33:03
  baseball bat and he makes the other brother watch.
• 1:33:05
  And that's one of the most brutal scenes and realistic
• 1:33:08
  scenes that ever in any film. I believe that really.
• 1:33:12
  You say to yourself, she's wow. It's like you like you're
• 1:33:15
  affected by it. You feel, I feel hurt, but and
• 1:33:20
  that's just Scorsese and and what he does.
• 1:33:23
  I'm going to give you, I'm going to give you a mafia.
• 1:33:25
  Movie I remember. That scene I remember.
• 1:33:27
  That. Scene First of all, I'm a big
• 1:33:28
  mafia movie fan. OK?
• 1:33:30
  So I watch every mafia movie. I got a mafia movie you probably
• 1:33:34
  never seen. You ready?
• 1:33:36
  OK. 10th and Wolf, Have you ever seen that movie?
• 1:33:40
  What's that? 10th and Wolf?
• 1:33:42
  That's what it's called. No, I.
• 1:33:44
  Never seen that. Ah, you see, I can teach
• 1:33:46
  somebody something. Go check it out.
• 1:33:49
  In 2006, the movie came out. Giovanni.
• 1:33:55
  I always pronounce his name wrong.
• 1:33:56
  So Giovanni Ribisi, he was in the movie.
• 1:34:00
  It is a great, great movie. Dennis Hopper was in it.
• 1:34:04
  Val Kilmer was in it. It is a great, great movie.
• 1:34:07
  It's called 10th. I want to check it out.
• 1:34:09
  Wolf, so it's actually a good movie.
• 1:34:11
  So if you never seen it go out there and go rent it go watch
• 1:34:15
  it. I I think it's on prime.
• 1:34:16
  I'm not sure, but you could definitely find it take them off
• 1:34:19
  Thank you you know I'm I'm trying to help you here, rob.
• 1:34:22
  I mean I, I mean you look at Speedy.
• 1:34:23

• 1:34:25
  I think. Speedy.
• 1:34:27
  Look at look at Speedy. He's he looks like Rob.
• 1:34:30
  Rob, doesn't Speedy look like your long lost son?
• 1:34:32
  I mean, look at him. Look at him.
• 1:34:33
  I mean, Speedy, take the hat off.
• 1:34:35
  Take the hat off. Jesus, you cut the beard.
• 1:34:38
  Take that off. Look at that.
• 1:34:39
  Yeah, look at that. Let me see, look at that.
• 1:34:41
  Can you make a close up of them and you see a little?
• 1:34:43
  Closer Speedy. Well, there you go.
• 1:34:45
  Look at that. Look at that sexy man, I think.
• 1:34:47
  So yeah, I think we could be. We definitely could be my son.
• 1:34:50
  We could even be brothers. Brothers, I mean Speedy, what do
• 1:34:53
  you think? Would you like Rob to be your
• 1:34:55
  long lost brother? Sir.
• 1:34:57
  OK. All.
• 1:34:58
  Right. Who do you think you'd get a
• 1:35:00
  girl quicker? You were Rob.
• 1:35:01
  Rob. Easily.
• 1:35:02
  Why? Why couldn't you get a girl
• 1:35:03
  quicker than Rob? Because I'm awkward.
• 1:35:05
  I don't know about that, man, because you see anybody here?
• 1:35:12
  Hey honey, come on, bring me the sausage of Baptist.
• 1:35:15
  Where she Speaking of sausage, I mean, Speedy is a very, very
• 1:35:20
  good at you know, proposing, you know, really nice sausage.
• 1:35:24
  You just eat speedy. Tell them what kind of sausages
• 1:35:26
  you I don't know, I, I I think we're dealing with somebody that
• 1:35:29
  does recipes on Instagram. It's much more of an enthusiast
• 1:35:32
  what kind of sausages than me. I think I think you've met your
• 1:35:35
  match here. Well, well, tell them a little
• 1:35:37
  bit about the sausage you like. Do you like amateur compared?
• 1:35:39
  Hold on, hold on, I'm asking you a question.
• 1:35:41
  Do you like them dark? I like them spicy again, dark or
• 1:35:44
  amateur compared to darker white.
• 1:35:47
  You like it dark, Darker, yes, darker, yes.
• 1:35:49
  How long do you like it? I don't know.
• 1:35:50
  How about thick? Do you like it thicker?
• 1:35:53
  God, enough with the size, it doesn't matter.
• 1:35:55
  The size doesn't matter. You heard that, Rob, Size
• 1:35:57
  doesn't matter, especially when it.
• 1:35:59
  Goes when you when you do your. Italian sausage, the Shiva deals
• 1:36:04
  so. To say when you're doing your
• 1:36:06
  recipes, does flavor matter more or size?
• 1:36:10
  The truth is in the taste. That's it.
• 1:36:13
  Because truth is in the. Taste.
• 1:36:15
  It's in the taste, speedy, but you know it.
• 1:36:17
  Taste, not size. Well, size is pretty good too,
• 1:36:20
  you know, you got to ask the ladies that you know.
• 1:36:23
  What do you think, Speedy? I'm not that to be weird
• 1:36:30
  anyways. My bank heist.
• 1:36:35
  I'll just let you know some. Victim of his hypothetical movie
• 1:36:38
  after Jabba kills. Him Rob, just so you know, this
• 1:36:41
  guy, he he would rather steal sausages than actual money.
• 1:36:46
  This guy is a sausage fan. I mean, he's all about the
• 1:36:50
  sausage. So if you ever get a chance, if
• 1:36:52
  you can, take him to one of those Italian restaurants and
• 1:36:56
  enjoy a sausage with him. Or sausage.
• 1:36:58
  But is he? Is he spicy or regular?
• 1:37:00
  Speedy it doesn't matter because I'm not stealing anything.
• 1:37:05
  I was at an Italian restaurant with Rob.
• 1:37:07
  I would not want to be committing theft.
• 1:37:09
  That's, well, it depends on who you're.
• 1:37:10
  Stealing from It doesn't matter who I'm stealing.
• 1:37:12
  From nice Scarpiello with the sausages, Nice chicken
• 1:37:15
  Scarpiello comes with the sausage and the chicken and Swap
• 1:37:18
  Vision is really nice. Yeah, it does.
• 1:37:20
  Sound. Good Speedy, you just got to.
• 1:37:22
  Grab making me hungry. Speedy, you just got to grab the
• 1:37:24
  end, right? I don't care what I'm grabbing.
• 1:37:27
  I'm not stealing anything. I'm not stealing anything.
• 1:37:31
  Well, somebody's got to steal it, right?
• 1:37:33
  Yeah. And those people can be
• 1:37:34
  arrested. Robbie's a thief.
• 1:37:40
  No, I said those people, but you just said they can be those.
• 1:37:44
  But those people meeting other people, not you, not me.
• 1:37:47
  I don't know. I'm not licking.
• 1:37:53
  Anyone. There you go.
• 1:37:54
  I'm. Definitely not licking anyone
• 1:37:55
  either. He might.
• 1:37:56
  You guys, I know you probably talked about the Knicks.
• 1:37:58
  What do you think of the the story with them?
• 1:38:00
  You think they're going to pull it out or?
• 1:38:03
  Game six, Game 6, I think they'll pull it out Madison
• 1:38:05
  Square Garden in front of their fans.
• 1:38:07
  I, I, I do believe that going home is definitely good and
• 1:38:12
  fitting for the Knicks to win game number six.
• 1:38:14
  I didn't think they were winning game five.
• 1:38:17
  I thought obviously after Jason Tatum going down and the fans
• 1:38:21
  all over social media taking shots at the team that they
• 1:38:24
  didn't show up at in, in the fourth quarter in game #4I I
• 1:38:28
  thought that they were going to come out strong.
• 1:38:30
  And the Knicks for some reason in this series, when they lose,
• 1:38:33
  they lose bad. And I expected as soon as the
• 1:38:36
  Knicks fell behind it in in game five, I knew they were going to
• 1:38:40
  lose the game by big. So I expect the Knicks to keep
• 1:38:43
  to to hopefully start the game strong in game number six in
• 1:38:47
  front of their fans in Madison Square Garden because they don't
• 1:38:49
  want to go to Boston in game #7 when they have the momentum.
• 1:38:53
  But. Rob, I was there for you, the
• 1:38:55
  Houston, the Rockets, when John Stark shot that shot against it.
• 1:38:59
  And they would have. Taken Why did you have to do
• 1:39:01
  that? I I liked you.
• 1:39:02
  I liked you until you mentioned 1994.
• 1:39:06
  I saw it on the floor and you. Had to do.
• 1:39:07
  This I was. I was heartbroken.
• 1:39:09
  I was heartbroken. I asked.
• 1:39:11
  Them to finish it out, you know what I mean?
• 1:39:12
  They didn't have to go back and they lost in Houston.
• 1:39:14
  So it was like, you know. Thank you.
• 1:39:16
  Thank you very much. I want.
• 1:39:17
  I want the I want the Nixon 6 so everybody can go to my
• 1:39:20
  restaurant that's right down the street.
• 1:39:22
  I agree. What's your restaurant?
• 1:39:24
  American Whiskey. All right, yeah, definitely go
• 1:39:28
  check it out. He's got good sausage over
• 1:39:30
  there. He got good sausage.
• 1:39:31
  Over there. What street?
• 1:39:32
  35th. All right, all right.
• 1:39:36
  You know, if you're going South from the garden, that Mustang
• 1:39:39
  Sally's that's on the corner, just take a right, right there
• 1:39:42
  and we're in the middle of the block.
• 1:39:44
  Check it out, it's right around the corner the game but.
• 1:39:48
  It's right around the corner. From listen, I'm just curious.
• 1:39:51
  It seems like a lot of people chaotic outside the garden.
• 1:39:54
  I never I mean, I used to work at the garden.
• 1:39:56
  I mean, that seems like a. Lot they they closed down 7th
• 1:39:58
  Ave. after the game the other day.
• 1:40:00
  They close it down. Wow, it's crazy.
• 1:40:02
  Just so you know, New York is. Crowded, huh?
• 1:40:05
  Just so you know, American whiskey is right around the
• 1:40:07
  corner from the Sausage Palace. So if you if you, you want
• 1:40:11
  yourself a sausage. It used to be right next to the
• 1:40:14
  best rub and tug and. Giuliani got in there and he
• 1:40:20
  cleaned it up. Well, Robert Kraft, if anybody
• 1:40:28
  wants some Kraft macaroni and cheese.
• 1:40:29
  Anyways, thank you, Rob, for joining us.
• 1:40:32
  We really. Appreciate it.
• 1:40:33
  Thank you, Jober and Speedy. Thank you very much.
• 1:40:36
  It's been a great pleasure to be on your show.
• 1:40:38
  Yes, you're eloquent. You're you're you're erudite.
• 1:40:42
  There we go. And you're you're meaningful.
• 1:40:44
  And and the sausage, it's interesting.
• 1:40:47
  It is. It's very interesting.
• 1:40:48
  I think it's the first time any of us have been called erudite.
• 1:40:51
  Where? You go.
• 1:40:53
  Yeah, well, what's wrong with that?
• 1:40:54
  I like that. Oh.
• 1:40:55
  I love this. Pulled it out to my ass.
• 1:40:59
  Rob Sophisticated. Make me want to make sausage and
• 1:41:05
  Peppers now. As long as she's using dude
• 1:41:06
  wipes and taking care of my tooth hole I'm good.
• 1:41:12
  Anyways, that's our sound board. But we love you, Rob.
• 1:41:14
  We really do. Keep up the good work.
• 1:41:16
  Let's get you on the show, man. You're going to be a Master P
• 1:41:19
  Quote. I, I maybe me and Speedy will
• 1:41:21
  come down there and hang out with you.
• 1:41:23
  Let's hang out. Let's hang out.
• 1:41:25
  We'll eat some sausages together.
• 1:41:27
  Speedy can share his sausage with you.
• 1:41:29
  There's got to be a place to unless I bring some good
• 1:41:31
  sausage. With you.
• 1:41:32
  There you go You you have a good sausage, Speedy will share it
• 1:41:34
  with you, Right Speedy? I'd rather I'd rather throw.
• 1:41:37
  Mom, no comment on that. Rob Don't worry, Rob don't worry
• 1:41:45
  if that ever ends up happening. Rob, If that ever ends up
• 1:41:49
  happening, I'll throw the sausage at him.
• 1:41:51
  You know what's so funny, Robin? By the way, I want you to tell
• 1:41:53
  everybody who they should go. With one more time.
• 1:41:56
  Before we let you go, Speedy, when he's trying to, you know,
• 1:42:00
  add something, he will cut anybody off just to get it out
• 1:42:03
  there. He will do anything it would.
• 1:42:06
  And when he he doesn't want to speak, he'll, he'll just sit
• 1:42:09
  there like he's got to stick up his ass, a sausage up his ass.
• 1:42:13
  So that's, that's Speedy, ladies and gentlemen.
• 1:42:15
  But tell the fans who they should bid on at the Preakness.
• 1:42:19
  I I say journalism over River Thames and a little bit of
• 1:42:23
  reverse reverses for a little bit as a savor.
• 1:42:26
  There you go. That's my pick.
• 1:42:28
  All right, our bonus. Let's parlay with Robert.
• 1:42:30
  There you go, and and and by the way.
• 1:42:32
  I got to go back off now. So, you know, somebody's got to
• 1:42:35
  go whack off I it's probably NIF, but anyways, thank.
• 1:42:38
  You. Guys, thank you, Rob.
• 1:42:39
  We really love you. Thank you so much, Robert.
• 1:42:41
  Love you too. Robert Funaro, first time on our
• 1:42:44
  show. Very good, great personality.
• 1:42:47
  Enjoy sausages and stay away from Speedy.
• 1:42:50
  OK, stay the hell away from Speedy.
• 1:42:52
  All right, That's all I'm going to say about that.
• 1:42:55
  I, I thought I thought he was cool.
• 1:42:56
  I he got a chance to know how crazy we are and we had a little
• 1:42:59
  fun with him. So I thought it was great.
• 1:43:01
  He's got a good, really good sense of humor for sure.
• 1:43:04
  Oh, it was. Great.
• 1:43:05
  Somebody's going to have to have a good sense of humor.
• 1:43:08
  I mean, speedy though, that's what.
• 1:43:09
  He did make me hungry though, I'm not going to lie.
• 1:43:11
  Yeah, especially the sauce. I.
• 1:43:12
  Just had a little snack and I was like, damn, now I'm hungry.
• 1:43:15
  It's funny. You have to alternate your pizza
• 1:43:16
  saucers and. Peppers and pasta tonight for
• 1:43:19
  dinner. Oh well, you did.
• 1:43:20
  Yeah. I love sausage and Peppers.
• 1:43:24
  Not too late to order it on your 10 pizzas, John, I'm.
• 1:43:26
  Only a quarter Italian so I don't really know exactly what
• 1:43:29
  I'm doing, but I do a bunch of cool stuff.
• 1:43:31
  Oh I I have no idea. Like I had a.
• 1:43:34
  Bloody bacon in there, actually. Whoa, That's that's I was, I was
• 1:43:38
  going ham. I put like cheese baking.
• 1:43:39
  In your sausage. No bacon.
• 1:43:42
  It's like a mix. And I threw like green beans in
• 1:43:45
  there. And I mean like a whole like
• 1:43:46
  kind of like a Italian cheesy stir fry kind of idea.
• 1:43:51
  And you're getting speedy, a little wet, you know it's
• 1:43:53
  getting. Wet.
• 1:43:54
  I didn't cover it in Alfredo sauce so you can't have it.
• 1:43:57
  Errol. I'll screw you.
• 1:43:58
  All right, fish, You're really starting.
• 1:44:01
  To. I almost did, though I thought
• 1:44:02
  it might go well with it. I think it rusted.
• 1:44:04
  Did you? Go.
• 1:44:09
  Did you, did you go onions too? Yeah, of course.
• 1:44:11
  You have to onions smell my ass. Well like I just want sausage
• 1:44:17
  and Peppers and people will be like no onion.
• 1:44:20
  I'm like onions give so much flavor and when they're I don't
• 1:44:22
  like raw onions which is weird but I like cooked onions.
• 1:44:25
  I'm the same way. You start with the cooked onions
• 1:44:27
  at the beginning of the cook, like that's where you start,
• 1:44:29
  yeah. Yum Yum the.
• 1:44:31
  OG start. Point Yeah, until they get
• 1:44:34
  translucent. That's what makes them Yum Yum.
• 1:44:36
  I know. I need a gin and tonic.
• 1:44:39
  What the hell was that? Where did that come drop?
• 1:44:45
  Did we get nothing to smoke from?
• 1:44:46
  Like smoke weed or something. Simpsons.
• 1:44:50
  I was just going to say we have 711.
• 1:44:55
  Breaking news Goody has no Woody and.
• 1:45:01
  You. Know he when he.
• 1:45:04
  When all this stuff started happening, he refused to do that
• 1:45:08
  voice over again. That's true.
• 1:45:11
  Yes, it is. It's true.
• 1:45:13
  There's no lie to that. Speaking of no lies, ladies and
• 1:45:16
  gentlemen, we've got that King of the hill.
• 1:45:19
  Here's the King of the Hill. This, Bobby, is the Beltline.
• 1:45:23
  You never ever hit below that. Not that kind of King of the
• 1:45:27
  Hill, you dumb. Are you ready?
• 1:45:30
  This is King of the Hill. I actually like that drop, it's
• 1:45:36
  very easy. Bring everybody in.
• 1:45:37
  Nathan, get in there. Tommy Get.
• 1:45:40
  In here. For.
• 1:45:43
  King of the. Hill guys, this is one of our
• 1:45:45
  newer games. This has got a three round game
• 1:45:48
  where we're trying to dethrone the king.
• 1:45:50
  Current king Errol Marx. The king has not been dethroned
• 1:45:53
  yet since we have started the 1st.
• 1:45:56
  I need a general peasant. Fight.
• 1:46:02
  The way this goes, we're going to go through the best in game
• 1:46:05
  dunkers in basketball history, so you got to say a dunker and
• 1:46:09
  give a good reason why and then we'll go a.
• 1:46:12
  Little more basically. So and then Errol will decide
• 1:46:16
  who the two people who will move on to the next round are.
• 1:46:19
  Are you guys ready to play King of the hill?
• 1:46:21
  Yeah. Let's go.
• 1:46:23
  All right, let's kill it. Let's start off with Jabba.
• 1:46:28
  Oh, best in game dunkers? There's so many.
• 1:46:34
  I just don't it's are we talking like stylistically or we just
• 1:46:38
  talking like overall? Whatever you want.
• 1:46:40
  I I think it's up to your interpretation, and your
• 1:46:44
  explanation is honestly more important than the name.
• 1:46:50
  I don't. All right, I'm going to have to
• 1:46:54
  go. Tracy McGrady comes to mind just
• 1:47:00
  because the athleticism being long, being able to rise above
• 1:47:05
  everybody and kind of in that in that realm, there's so many that
• 1:47:09
  were so good. He I just, I think when I think
• 1:47:13
  of him like obviously great defender for Olympic scored, but
• 1:47:17
  I just they were like in game dunks that I saw like I didn't
• 1:47:20
  want to use like somebody. Well, you just go with one we're
• 1:47:22
  going to keep going. We're going to everyone's going
• 1:47:24
  to give one I'll go next Jabba. There was a layup for you here
• 1:47:28
  and it was Michael Jordan Michael Jordan everybody the
• 1:47:31
  best in game dunker. Take a look at this one.
• 1:47:34
  I even have a highlight for you. I had to watch this one a
• 1:47:37
  million times growing up. This is.
• 1:47:39
  Why are you doing this stuff? Trying to block them and getting
• 1:47:41
  stuff. And yes, of course.
• 1:47:43
  I was actually watching that game live when that happened, so
• 1:47:47
  you guys know I was, that's one of the I was that.
• 1:47:51
  You hate, but you've seen in a. Million times.
• 1:47:52
  I was like 13 years old when he did that against the New York
• 1:47:56
  Knicks and Patrick killing. Show you guys.
• 1:47:58
  Tommy, you're up next. Favorite.
• 1:48:02
  Best of all time? I'm going to go with Julius
• 1:48:04
  Erving. Julius Erving, Doctor J is the
• 1:48:08
  man I would say that pretty much revolutionized the game of
• 1:48:12
  dunking in the stylistic way Jabba was mentioning before.
• 1:48:16
  He really was the one that brought it in in style during
• 1:48:19
  his time period. Really.
• 1:48:20
  Of course to where Michael Jordan is considered one of the
• 1:48:23
  best dunkers of all time. I feel like Doctor J brought it
• 1:48:25
  to the forefront more than anybody else before, so I'm have
• 1:48:28
  to go with Doctor J. The Rock the Cradle dunk too.
• 1:48:32
  One of the best dunks I've ever seen.
• 1:48:35
  That's more dunk contest, but you're right, he was obviously
• 1:48:39
  one of the great Speedy. Two weeks in a row that or two
• 1:48:42
  shows in a row that Tavi has stolen something for some from
• 1:48:44
  someone else tic tac toe on Monday.
• 1:48:46
  Now this one I was going to say doctor J first of all, I'll go
• 1:48:48
  I'll do Dominique Wilkins for that one kind of a little after
• 1:48:50
  right after doctor J not as good all the time, but definitely one
• 1:48:53
  of the most electric ones at the at the small forward position
• 1:48:56
  power forward a little bit those high hops, those big dunk
• 1:48:59
  contest ones even before MJ as well.
• 1:49:00
  So I'll. Go all right.
• 1:49:03
  And Nathan? Nothing you're going to have to
• 1:49:06
  unmute. But which dunker has the best
• 1:49:11
  leash? I got to go back off now.
• 1:49:16
  Nathan, who is one of the greatest dunkers of all.
• 1:49:18
  Time. You're on mute, Nathan.
• 1:49:20
  Let's go. Let's go.
• 1:49:23
  You're on mute. Driving back.
• 1:49:24
  You're on mute. I think he's lost.
• 1:49:26
  I think he's lost. I'm going to say he's wrong
• 1:49:29
  here. He goes.
• 1:49:30
  Here he is. Listen, you got anybody for us?
• 1:49:33
  Hold on, I got all right. I'm going to go with, I'm going
• 1:49:39
  to go with Vince Carter. I think he because obviously
• 1:49:44
  with the dunk contest, he won the one of the dunk contest.
• 1:49:47
  But in game games, yeah, I think in my opinion, he was one of the
• 1:49:51
  best to watch Vince Carter because he can do anything.
• 1:49:55
  Yeah, remember. In the Olympics when he put his
• 1:49:58
  nuts on. That dude's.
• 1:49:59
  Forehead seven O 4, yeah. 7. Of them, yeah.
• 1:50:06
  They had to bring that up and now they're kidding.
• 1:50:10
  All right, we're going to. Go back to go back to Jabba.
• 1:50:14
  Give us another one. I'm going to go one that I love,
• 1:50:19
  Clyde the Glide loved his in game, like wasn't the greatest
• 1:50:24
  like I would say the greatest like dunker in the dunk contest.
• 1:50:29
  But in games he got, he got that name for a reason and it was
• 1:50:33
  always just a huge fan of him and, and what he could do.
• 1:50:36
  So he he's one that always that kind of stuck out to me as well.
• 1:50:40
  Well, I that's a great answer. My answer is someone who I'm
• 1:50:44
  thankfully did not continue his rap career with the Foo
• 1:50:48
  Schnickens and Shaq. Yes, Shaquille O'Neal, Shaq
• 1:50:52
  Diesel, yes, one of the guys who could not be stopped at any
• 1:50:55
  point in time during any games. Just dunked on all over
• 1:50:59
  everybody. Another famous dunk that I have
• 1:51:02
  seen a million times when he dunked on Oh my God, the big
• 1:51:05
  white center, the Knicks. Had and then he threw the ball.
• 1:51:08
  Why do you have to bring up the Knicks every single time you're
• 1:51:11
  bringing? Up Knicks.
• 1:51:13
  Yeah, Michael Jordan with Patrick Ewing, you had Vince
• 1:51:16
  Carter dunking over and and somebody from the Knicks farm
• 1:51:20
  system, you know, eating his nuts and now you're bringing up
• 1:51:23
  another Knicks. The guy's name, he was a Knicks
• 1:51:26
  draft pick. And then I think he ended up
• 1:51:28
  like in like had like mental health issues because of the.
• 1:51:31
  Dunk figures He played for the Knicks, that's why.
• 1:51:34
  It was the highlight, like that's the only highlight he
• 1:51:36
  ever had and it was him getting nuts put on his forehead.
• 1:51:38
  Thank you, literally thank you, Tommy.
• 1:51:42
  My. Pick is another Laker, actually,
• 1:51:44
  and I was going to actually go with Kobe.
• 1:51:45
  Mr. Kobe Bryant, very, very prolific.
• 1:51:49
  I would say score all around. Of course he knew how to win,
• 1:51:52
  when to, when to not dunk, when to dunk really.
• 1:51:55
  Of course, very, I guess you could say smart in a way with
• 1:51:59
  his shot collect selections sometimes, but I would say
• 1:52:04
  someone like Kobe Bryant would be the second best dunker of all
• 1:52:06
  time. Speedy, once again, I was going
• 1:52:10
  to take Shaq, so I'll go to Kennedy Mutombo this time.
• 1:52:12
  Another one that I got great longevity.
• 1:52:15
  And yes, he was very authoritative at the rim.
• 1:52:17
  Obviously big size. Speedy, you were about to move
• 1:52:19
  on and that pic was. Horrible.
• 1:52:22
  It can be Mutombo. Come on, stop.
• 1:52:26
  You're automatically out. Looks like Nathan.
• 1:52:28
  'S automatically. Out, Nathan.
• 1:52:31
  Of all the guys you can pick, that can be Matumba from a
• 1:52:34
  Chandra I think. Nathan's frozen.
• 1:52:38
  And Nathan, Nathan, you're kind of a little choppy.
• 1:52:41
  You're muted, but we'll let you. He's going through the Lincoln
• 1:52:44
  Tunnel. Go ahead.
• 1:52:47
  He's praying now. Looks like can.
• 1:52:49
  You hear? Can you hear me?
• 1:52:50
  Yeah, we can hear you spit it out.
• 1:52:53
  Who do you got? Spud Webb.
• 1:52:59
  What? Spud Webb.
• 1:53:01
  Spud Webb, Stop. You're automatically eliminated.
• 1:53:06
  That's it. You're automatically eliminated.
• 1:53:08
  Ridiculous. What?
• 1:53:09
  Spud Webb. Out of all the dunkers in NBA
• 1:53:14
  history, you took Spud Webb. Come on, guys.
• 1:53:19
  In game dunkers. Spud Webb.
• 1:53:24
  And let's go for the last one, Jabba.
• 1:53:30
  Oh, my last one. I'm going to go.
• 1:53:34
  God, I love the shack. I have to go.
• 1:53:36
  The man with like 37 kids. I got to go.
• 1:53:39
  Sean Kemp. I was.
• 1:53:42
  I take one for me, Tom. Yeah, I was going to go Sean
• 1:53:45
  Kemp with that. Yeah, I just, he was, he was
• 1:53:50
  always fun to watch. He was great on NBA Jam.
• 1:53:53
  He had 3700 kids with 2700 baby Mamas and he still went out and
• 1:53:58
  just yammed on people all day. And and all night, apparently.
• 1:54:03
  Yeah, they didn't stop on the basketball court, it didn't seem
• 1:54:06
  like. Well, there is someone I don't
• 1:54:09
  think anyone said, but he does lead the NBA all time in points
• 1:54:13
  and he is still playing and his name is LeBron James.
• 1:54:17
  And this guy has made a career of being just a highlight reel
• 1:54:20
  of dunks forever. And I'm pretty sure you got to
• 1:54:23
  consider him one of the great all time dunkers in games.
• 1:54:26
  I mean, you never saw a dunk contest from him.
• 1:54:29
  No, because he's a dunking bitch.
• 1:54:31
  That's what he is. That's that's what I'm going to
• 1:54:33
  say. When he was like, when he was at
• 1:54:35
  his height, him flying through the air was like unlike anything
• 1:54:39
  you ever seen until Giannis. Giannis was able to do kind of
• 1:54:41
  the same thing, but I live at the passing ability with that
• 1:54:46
  super team that he had. The dunks were just spectacular.
• 1:54:49
  We all remember that, Al you from Wade.
• 1:54:52
  It's just there's so many highlights.
• 1:54:54
  You got to say. LeBron is definitely one of
• 1:54:56
  them. Tommy.
• 1:54:58
  I'm going to go Clyde Drexler. Look at your phone, Tommy.
• 1:55:01
  Look at your phone. You ready Pick Clyde Drexler.
• 1:55:05
  Oh. You said Drexler ready.
• 1:55:07
  I'm going to go Mr. Blake Griffin then, because why not?
• 1:55:12
  Let's go Mr. Blake Griffin. Blake Griffin.
• 1:55:14
  Honestly, in his prime, Blake Griffin was honestly, dude knew
• 1:55:18
  how to attack the rim. Dude knew how to, he had hops.
• 1:55:21
  He knew how to attack the rim. There was, I can't remember.
• 1:55:24
  There was that my favorite dunk that he had when he freaking
• 1:55:26
  just detonates over, has his whole nuts in front on full
• 1:55:29
  display on the dunk. So Blake Griffin.
• 1:55:32
  Against the Knicks as well. Could you stop this?
• 1:55:36
  Every single guy. Stop, stop, stop, stop this.
• 1:55:41
  Another white big man for the New York Knicks.
• 1:55:45
  For a while, it's okay. Caucasian big man for the New
• 1:55:49
  York Knicks. Eventually you're going to
• 1:55:51
  mention David Lee too? Please.
• 1:55:53
  Stop. I love.
• 1:55:54
  I love David. Lee.
• 1:55:55
  So do I. I can remember a couple of dunks
• 1:55:57
  on him too. So yeah.
• 1:55:59
  He didn't jump that. High.
• 1:56:00
  No, he didn't. He was.
• 1:56:01
  A good player, yes, and I think that means we're up to Speedy to
• 1:56:04
  round it out. I thought I was out already.
• 1:56:06
  No, you're not. You still have one more.
• 1:56:09
  That's what you got you. Better make you better clean it.
• 1:56:10
  Up. I'll finish it off with Ben.
• 1:56:11
  Wallace. Out of Ben Wallace, Spud Webb.
• 1:56:14
  Yes. No.
• 1:56:15
  He said. No, I said I did.
• 1:56:18
  I did to come back, I'll finish it off with Ben Wallace of that
• 1:56:22
  O four O 4 Pistons team, that championship team that really
• 1:56:26
  was, that was the duo inside with them and I think another
• 1:56:29
  ferocious one for probably the beginning of that era as well.
• 1:56:32
  You. Said she'd.
• 1:56:36
  Ben Wallace. All right.
• 1:56:40
  I guess so. I don't really.
• 1:56:41
  The two guys you picked, I don't really think you're dunkers.
• 1:56:43
  No, they're not. They're defensive guys.
• 1:56:45
  But one was a blocker and one was a rebounder.
• 1:56:47
  It's. Pretty much and one had the
• 1:56:50
  great Afro made him look 3 inches taller.
• 1:56:53
  Errol Who's? Moving on, I got Tommy moving on
• 1:56:58
  and I want to pick you fish, but you're running the show.
• 1:57:01
  I liked your. Your three guys are by far the
• 1:57:04
  best. It's not Even so let.
• 1:57:05
  Me go because Jabba actually does have to to pop out for a.
• 1:57:09
  Little bit all right, so. And go take care of some.
• 1:57:11
  Business. All right, so let Jabba pop out
• 1:57:12
  for a little while. He'll join us again and I'll go
• 1:57:15
  with fish. So I have Mr. Tommy and the old
• 1:57:18
  fisherman. All right.
• 1:57:20
  As the two others. Thank you for acknowledging that
• 1:57:24
  I. Your team was by far the best.
• 1:57:27
  By far. It's not even an.
• 1:57:28
  Argument. All right, so Round 2 is the
• 1:57:30
  joust Tommy, and in this round we have a new title for us to
• 1:57:34
  figure out and it's the best sixth men in NBA history.
• 1:57:39
  So these are guys that are thought of as six men.
• 1:57:42
  They probably had to at some point win a 6th Man of the Year
• 1:57:46
  award. So if you're going to
• 1:57:47
  frantically Google it right now, so just go over to those lists.
• 1:57:51
  But. Right now, the most obvious 1 is
• 1:57:56
  not what I'm going to start with.
• 1:57:57
  I'm going to start with one that's near and dear to my heart
• 1:57:59
  and that is former Nick Jamal Crawford.
• 1:58:04
  Jamal Crawford had the best crossover in the game for a very
• 1:58:08
  long time, Was instant offense off the bench.
• 1:58:11
  Had a great, you know, didn't really look to pass, but when he
• 1:58:14
  did, it was always a good pass and it looked really fancy.
• 1:58:17
  He was great at the small things.
• 1:58:19
  Wasn't a great defender, but he was passable.
• 1:58:22
  But I'll tell you what, when you needed offense off the bench,
• 1:58:25
  that guy was instant offense. And usually it's just like a
• 1:58:28
  catch and shoot guy. This guy could dice up everybody
• 1:58:31
  in the league, and that was just amazing.
• 1:58:34
  You know, it's amazing the Knicks didn't do more with him
• 1:58:36
  because of how bad they were managed.
• 1:58:38
  But I'll tell you, I'm starting with Jamal Crawford.
• 1:58:41
  I like dying. My, I don't know.
• 1:58:45
  I'm pretty sure this is going to be the one that you said is the
• 1:58:47
  more obvious one. I'm going with Mr. Manu
• 1:58:49
  Ginobili. Mr. Ginobili, what can I say
• 1:58:52
  about you, one of the best European players of all time,
• 1:58:56
  one of the best shooting guards of all time and if not the best
• 1:59:00
  six man of all time? Honestly, there's not really
• 1:59:04
  much to say. A four time NBA champion really
• 1:59:07
  came through really clutching the playoffs for his team's when
• 1:59:09
  he didn't most really had the best rotation with pop or of
• 1:59:13
  course with that dynamic of players, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker
• 1:59:16
  and all those guys. Really Ginobili, it doesn't get
• 1:59:19
  much better than Ginobili. When you when you think of 6
• 1:59:20
  men, that's really an iconic line that's really, I would say
• 1:59:24
  synonymous with when it comes to six men.
• 1:59:28
  See, look at that. So I'm going to say yeah,
• 1:59:30
  Ginobili. All right, maybe so maybe
• 1:59:33
  because he was they made him a six man.
• 1:59:35
  He should have been a starter because it just worked better in
• 1:59:37
  their offensive scheme. I don't know.
• 1:59:39
  But I know for a fact that there was a the greatest team of all
• 1:59:44
  time. People said in 1986 Boston
• 1:59:48
  Celtics. And the guy who was the first
• 1:59:50
  guy off the bench for that team was Bill Walton.
• 1:59:52
  And Bill Walton, who was one of the absolute legends, had
• 1:59:57
  probably the greatest six man season.
• 2:00:00
  Anyone ever had in 1986 and made them unstoppable.
• 2:00:05
  They took whenever they took Parrish off the court, he comes
• 2:00:10
  in there and now instead of being like bruising inside,
• 2:00:13
  they're just they're dicing everyone up.
• 2:00:15
  Sometimes they brought Mikhail off the bench.
• 2:00:17
  Mikhail was more of a starter than that.
• 2:00:19
  So I would wanted to go with Walton if you're going to pick
• 2:00:21
  one of those two guys. I decided one of those two guys
• 2:00:24
  should be the more obscure guy because Walton was an absolute
• 2:00:28
  stud hero for that team and is what put them over the.
• 2:00:31
  Top bagel Hole No. Wall, then.
• 2:00:34
  All right, Tommy. All right, I'm going.
• 2:00:36
  I farted. Warriors edition of Andre
• 2:00:39
  Iguodala so look Andre Iguodala honestly just very key pivotal
• 2:00:45
  piece in that Golden State Warriors team sure that might
• 2:00:49
  have been another one that you might say like he was a starter
• 2:00:51
  it. Just probably worked.
• 2:00:52
  In that rotation or whatnot. But the man was doing what he
• 2:00:55
  needed to do coming off of the bench.
• 2:00:57
  He did everything to win them those four titles, even helping,
• 2:01:01
  I'm going to say helping even the Miami Heat in the same exact
• 2:01:04
  role during the bubble, helping them bring them to that title.
• 2:01:06
  So Andre Iguodala. Themselves.
• 2:01:10
  Andre Iguodala is going to be my second for best six man.
• 2:01:15
  Interesting. All right, I'm going to go with
• 2:01:18
  this guy that when they were in the Olympics, Michael Jordan and
• 2:01:23
  Scottie Pippen took it personal that they were being compared to
• 2:01:27
  him. His name's Tony KU coach, and he
• 2:01:30
  ended up their teammate and Tony KU coach helped them go on that
• 2:01:34
  second three peat in quite a big way.
• 2:01:36
  He got toughened up by Jordan and Pippen.
• 2:01:38
  He played at a level that you don't see too many six men play
• 2:01:42
  at. He was unique player at the time
• 2:01:44
  being a taller European, you know, European player with the
• 2:01:49
  long range game. He was pretty iconic for a long
• 2:01:53
  time. This is before managing Oakley.
• 2:01:56
  Tony Coop, Coach, Last one, Tommy.
• 2:02:03
  There's one you guys are missing.
• 2:02:05
  Is it Kelly McHale? Is that what you were going to
• 2:02:07
  pick? No, because that that I'm going
• 2:02:11
  to have to either go with McHale or I'll go Lou Williams,
• 2:02:19
  actually. All right, there you go,
• 2:02:21
  Williams. There you go, Mr. Lou Williams,
• 2:02:24
  Yeah, Lou Williams has really been a pivotal 6 man on a lot of
• 2:02:27
  different teams and it's really. Where did he stand out the most?
• 2:02:30
  What team? Stand out the most.
• 2:02:32
  It was, of course, the Sixers. No.
• 2:02:35
  Sixers. Raptors.
• 2:02:36
  Hawks. Hawks.
• 2:02:36
  No. Well, he.
• 2:02:38
  Was on a bunch of different teams, Lakers, Hawks, but.
• 2:02:40
  What team did he stand out the most as a six man?
• 2:02:44
  Wait, who were you going to pick?
• 2:02:45
  The Cavaliers don't remember on the Cavaliers.
• 2:02:49
  He was on the Cavs. Yeah, he was.
• 2:02:51
  Lou Williams. Lou Williams was on the Cavs,
• 2:02:53
  yes. Are we, are we thinking about
• 2:02:56
  the same Lou Williams here? I'm pretty sure it's it's
• 2:02:59
  definitely Lou Williams. No, Lou Williams didn't play for
• 2:03:01
  the Cavs. Maybe it wasn't Lou Williams,
• 2:03:03
  but it was Williams. OK.
• 2:03:04
  But Lou Williams, yes, that's still the right answer.
• 2:03:06
  Maybe it wasn't him. That's still the correct answer
• 2:03:08
  though. He played a couple years before
• 2:03:10
  going to the Hawks as a six man. And a second the Clippers,
• 2:03:12
  maybe, maybe it was the Clippers.
• 2:03:14
  I I was gonna say the Clippers, Yeah, the Clippers.
• 2:03:17
  Clippers is where. That's right.
• 2:03:18
  That's what I meant. The Clippers.
• 2:03:20
  He got six Man of the Year twice.
• 2:03:22
  It was AC, it was the, IT was the C and.
• 2:03:24
  Once Clippers a Raptor. Yeah.
• 2:03:27
  So he's got a three time, six man of the year.
• 2:03:30
  Yeah, three time. That's if that's a.
• 2:03:32
  Bunch of runner UPS in third places, but yeah, really.
• 2:03:36
  A pivotal piece in a lot of different teams.
• 2:03:38
  Honestly, you really knew how to find and to be a guy that's
• 2:03:41
  really bit of a journeyman like that and win in so many
• 2:03:43
  different teams. That's got to account for.
• 2:03:45
  You really know how to honestly be a really pivotal 6 man and
• 2:03:50
  really knew who's role coming off the bench.
• 2:03:52
  You know, I was thinking MO Williams on the Cavaliers.
• 2:03:55
  That's what I was. That's what I was.
• 2:03:56
  Thinking. MO Williams.
• 2:03:58
  Yes, MO Williams. He was great on the Cavaliers.
• 2:04:00
  That's what I meant. I banned that.
• 2:04:03
  Was that first LeBron team? Yes, that was yeah.
• 2:04:07
  Williams but. No, yeah, Lou Williams gonna
• 2:04:09
  have to be my #2 very versatile on many different teams.
• 2:04:13
  And Lou Williams. Yeah, all.
• 2:04:15
  Right, that was it. That was all three, so all
• 2:04:17
  right. Up to you, all right?
• 2:04:19
  I'll go with Tommy. I'll face off with him in the
• 2:04:21
  finals. All right, off we go.
• 2:04:24
  Last round. So we have one more round.
• 2:04:28
  It's Jimmy, Errol versus Tommy. The winner is the King.
• 2:04:31
  Next week, Speedy and I will vote Nathan.
• 2:04:34
  Looks like he disappeared. He's playing with himself, he's
• 2:04:37
  playing with himself. Let's go.
• 2:04:38
  But he can. Get here so I'm not doing any
• 2:04:41
  freaking tag team. Take on the king.
• 2:04:45
  Let's go the. Most clutch players in NBA
• 2:04:50
  history. Most clutch.
• 2:04:55
  Right, so I got a. Bunch of Jalen Brunson in the.
• 2:04:58
  Biggest moments, All right? I don't know, Jalen.
• 2:05:03
  Brunson. Pretty damn.
• 2:05:04
  Flush. All right, let's start off with
• 2:05:05
  Tommy. Actually, the king decides of
• 2:05:09
  who goes. First, let him go.
• 2:05:11
  OK, well, I'm going to have to just easily, I'm going to have
• 2:05:13
  to, if I'm going up against the king, I got to pick one of the
• 2:05:15
  greatest players or the greatest player of all time, Michael
• 2:05:19
  Jordan. Look.
• 2:05:20
  You can't go with Michael Jordan.
• 2:05:21
  Why not? That's the most you.
• 2:05:22
  Can't go with Michael. Jordan OK, fine.
• 2:05:23
  You know what? We'll go with Larry Bird.
• 2:05:26
  I'll go with Larry Bird. All right, go with Larry Bird.
• 2:05:28
  Why? Larry Bird is one of the best
• 2:05:31
  players of all time, and especially during the time
• 2:05:33
  period that he played. Look, Larry Bird, Really.
• 2:05:36
  I love watching the trash talking put.
• 2:05:38
  The videos of the Larry Bird, the things he used to say to
• 2:05:41
  certain players, the things that he knew he had.
• 2:05:43
  He carried himself at a certain standard every single day and he
• 2:05:46
  always backed it up with every single shot.
• 2:05:49
  Every competition was like his last.
• 2:05:51
  Every 3 point contest, every. I'm not sure if he did.
• 2:05:53
  I don't think it was a dunk contest.
• 2:05:54
  Dude. Every game he brought his all
• 2:05:57
  and Larry Bird is easily going to be one of the most clicked.
• 2:05:59
  Player of all time. All right, Errol.
• 2:06:03
  You know who I'm going with, Mr. Black Mamba?
• 2:06:06
  Kobe Bryant was one of the most clutch players of all time.
• 2:06:10
  Just think about what Kobe Bryant did with the Lakers.
• 2:06:13
  Shaquille O'Neal, who was hitting the clutch, the clutch
• 2:06:16
  shots, it was Kobe Bryant. Shaquille O'Neal was the best
• 2:06:19
  player, but when he needed to go to the the best player or the
• 2:06:22
  the player that's going to hit the clutch shot, they went to
• 2:06:24
  Kobe Bryant. When obviously Shaquille O'Neal
• 2:06:26
  left, he went to Miami. They needed that clutch player
• 2:06:30
  again. When they brought in, you know,
• 2:06:32
  Casall and and Metta World Peace, who are they going with
• 2:06:35
  to the ball, who they're going the ball with?
• 2:06:37
  They were going with Kobe Bryant, arguably one of the more
• 2:06:41
  underrated clutch players because there was so many
• 2:06:43
  greats, Michael Jordan being one of them, Larry Bird, Magic
• 2:06:46
  Johnson. But this guy was so clutch and
• 2:06:49
  probably the most clutch player in Laker history.
• 2:06:52
  If you watch what he did in the time that he did it.
• 2:06:55
  Remember, he won five titles and he was a part of two of them.
• 2:06:59
  And when he was, he was the guy for two of them.
• 2:07:02
  And when he had to beat the Celtics, who had to hit those
• 2:07:04
  clutch shots, who had to make those shots in game five and
• 2:07:07
  game four, it was Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant all.
• 2:07:11
  Right back to Tommy. Most clutch player I'm going to
• 2:07:15
  go with. I'm going to do it.
• 2:07:16
  Mr. Robert Horry. Robert Horry 7 times champion
• 2:07:22
  amongst we got here the Rockets, the Lakers, the Spurs.
• 2:07:26
  Robert Horry knew how to hit those game-winning shots, knew
• 2:07:29
  how to help get his team and whether it was a regular season
• 2:07:32
  game, whether it was a pivotal regular season game, whether it
• 2:07:35
  was a pivotal tipping scale in a in a postseason game that
• 2:07:39
  triple, that 3P with the Lakers, Robert Horry is easily.
• 2:07:43
  Said Robert Horry about a million times right there.
• 2:07:46
  Look, except his name is. Ori, not Horry.
• 2:07:51
  Is that really? Is that really?
• 2:07:52
  Pronounced Ori. He likes to screw it.
• 2:07:54
  Horry's. Mr. Rob, really young, big time
• 2:07:59
  Rob, because. We all wanted to say Horry,
• 2:08:01
  Except, you know, you can't. Do that look what about what
• 2:08:05
  about if I call him big shot Rob I'm I'm just.
• 2:08:08
  Yeah, that wasn't. His big shot Rob.
• 2:08:11
  But look, Big shot Rob. Easily deserving of one of the
• 2:08:13
  most clutch players of all times.
• 2:08:14
  Those seven rings, of course, speak for itself.
• 2:08:16
  So Mr. Mr. Big Shot Rob. All right, Errol.
• 2:08:22
  Now the Laker Magic Johnson. I mentioned him, career double,
• 2:08:26
  double in the playoffs as a rookie.
• 2:08:28
  They needed a guy to take over when Kareem Abdul Jabbar got
• 2:08:32
  hurt and who did they go to? They went to Magic Johnson, a
• 2:08:36
  rookie, took over in the finals. He played, he defended multiple
• 2:08:39
  positions, multiple positions from 5:00 to 4:00 to 3:00 to
• 2:08:43
  2:00 to 1. He did everything.
• 2:08:44
  And when they needed a guy to take over the game, it was Magic
• 2:08:47
  Johnson. When they played those Celtic
• 2:08:49
  teams, who do they need to take over those games?
• 2:08:52
  It was no other than Magic Johnson, and he was compared to
• 2:08:55
  Larry Bird for all the times from Michigan State to,
• 2:08:58
  obviously, Indiana, everybody knows why Magic Johnson was one
• 2:09:02
  of the most clutch players of all time.
• 2:09:05
  I'm going Magic. Sweet Magic, as I called them.
• 2:09:09
  All right, back to Tommy. All right, Errol, Errol is not
• 2:09:12
  going to like this pic whatsoever.
• 2:09:14
  Steph Curry, you're going to go, Mr. Steph.
• 2:09:16
  Curry, Mr. Chef, Curry himself, Mr. Steph, is the best shooter
• 2:09:21
  of all time. Let's not ever get it twisted.
• 2:09:24
  Steph Curry does not help lead his team to those 3P not three
• 2:09:28
  people like those 3 championship appearances.
• 2:09:31
  Steph Curry does not help his team get those four even though
• 2:09:34
  he even though a big thing of course going toward 2022 was the
• 2:09:37
  MVP and he of course didn't get his MVP until he got his MVP in
• 2:09:42
  2022. Steph Curry is the man who
• 2:09:46
  revolutionized the game of three pointers.
• 2:09:48
  And I know it might be for the worst, but Steph Curry is easily
• 2:09:52
  one of the best, is one of the clutch players of all time.
• 2:09:55
  I wouldn't have picked Steph Curry from all the guys you
• 2:09:58
  could have picked. And Steph Curry wasn't even the
• 2:10:00
  best player on those championship teams.
• 2:10:02
  Kevin Durant was. Klay Thompson was just as clutch
• 2:10:05
  as he was. He wasn't as clutch as any of
• 2:10:09
  those guys and he wasn't, you know, he wasn't.
• 2:10:12
  He was Kevin Durant was, of course, because he even then,
• 2:10:14
  he. I would go Kevin Durant over
• 2:10:16
  Steph Curry. OK, On those championship teams,
• 2:10:20
  those two championships, who was the MVP of the team?
• 2:10:22
  Who were they going to? Who's the go to guy when they
• 2:10:24
  needed to get a big time shot? It was Kevin Durant.
• 2:10:27
  I would have never went with Steph Curry.
• 2:10:29
  You could have went Reggie Miller or you could have went
• 2:10:31
  with this guy who I'm going to mention.
• 2:10:32
  I didn't want to do Reggie Miller, but.
• 2:10:33
  I I said he was very cool. I'm going Paul Pierce, the
• 2:10:37
  truth, baby. Paul Pierce was one of the most
• 2:10:41
  clutch, clutch players with Kevin Garnett and Rondo and all
• 2:10:44
  those players, all the great players, Ray Allen and Ray Allen
• 2:10:47
  was very clutch. They went to no other than Paul
• 2:10:51
  Pierce in Game 7. If you remember when they needed
• 2:10:54
  a big time points, who did they go to against LeBron James?
• 2:10:58
  They needed 41 points from the one and only.
• 2:11:02
  Yes, Paul Pierce. Paul Pierce was one of the most
• 2:11:04
  underrated shooters of all time, one of the more underrated
• 2:11:07
  shooters in the playoffs of all time.
• 2:11:10
  And when you you ask Kevin Garnett, you ask Rondo, you ask
• 2:11:13
  anybody on their podcast who was the most clutch player, who was
• 2:11:16
  the player who's the go to player on those Celtic teams
• 2:11:20
  when they were as good as any team in the NBA?
• 2:11:23
  It was Paul Pierce, the truth, one of the greatest underrated
• 2:11:27
  playoff players of all time. I'm going Paul Pierce, baby.
• 2:11:32
  All right, Speedy, we're going to vote on it.
• 2:11:34
  If we both agree, then there's nothing to do.
• 2:11:37
  But if it's a split, we're going to ask you guys to pick one.
• 2:11:41
  We're going to we're going to I'm going to name one player,
• 2:11:44
  one more player, and I want you guys to argue about it, all
• 2:11:47
  right? But let's say I'm going to start
• 2:11:49
  off, I'm going with Errol. I generally think of these guys,
• 2:11:52
  they kind of have to be more impactful players than a guy
• 2:11:55
  like Big Shot. Rob, Who's your first one again,
• 2:11:59
  Tommy? Isolated birdie.
• 2:12:02
  Larry Bird Larry Bird, obviously one of the greatest players of
• 2:12:06
  all time. I just keep, you know,
• 2:12:09
  remembering the highlight of a shot not going in for Larry Bird
• 2:12:12
  more than you know, some of the other highlights of his famously
• 2:12:15
  because they always would go in, but that's in the clutch when it
• 2:12:19
  didn't. So, you know, I, I, I do think
• 2:12:22
  that Errol went with guys that it's hard to argue with what
• 2:12:26
  Magic Johnson did. That rookie season is legendary.
• 2:12:28
  It's just it's one of the greatest NBA stories of all
• 2:12:31
  time. Paul Pierce.
• 2:12:32
  I grew up watching him go after, I mean, him and LeBron went back
• 2:12:35
  and forth in those series forever and it was Paul Pierce.
• 2:12:39
  So I'm going with that. Yeah, I'm going with that all as
• 2:12:41
  well. I think mentioning especially
• 2:12:43
  the Magic Johnson rookie season, Kobe as well against that
• 2:12:46
  Celtics team was supposed to be this future dynasty that was
• 2:12:48
  supposed to happen was a good reference to that.
• 2:12:51
  And the only and I wasn't crazy with the Steph Curry won't
• 2:12:53
  either. For Tommy, as good as like the
• 2:12:55
  shooting prowess is, he's the greatest shooter ever.
• 2:12:57
  A lot of those big shots like buzzer beater wiser in the
• 2:13:00
  regular season, not as much in the playoffs.
• 2:13:01
  If you're looking at judging like clutch statue, you're
• 2:13:03
  looking at judging those types of numbers.
• 2:13:05
  Actually, Damian Lillard is probably the better modern
• 2:13:07
  example for a point guard. But he never won and that's why.
• 2:13:10
  He never won, but he was on some really bad team.
• 2:13:11
  When you look at Damian Lillard, he is amongst the top 10
• 2:13:14
  greatest. I just, I didn't.
• 2:13:17
  Say the guy I would have had you debate if it was a tie and Errol
• 2:13:19
  is going to stay the king another week was going to be
• 2:13:22
  Reggie Miller. I had him too, if he.
• 2:13:24
  Deserves to be up there or not because he terrorized me my
• 2:13:28
  entire childhood. You know why I didn't pick
• 2:13:30
  Reggie? You know why I didn't pick
• 2:13:31
  Reggie? Because he never won.
• 2:13:32
  Because he didn't win, he never won.
• 2:13:34
  I'm going I went with guys that have won and we're a big parts
• 2:13:38
  of the reason Paul Pierce was the best player on that Kevin
• 2:13:41
  Garnett, Rondo and Ray Allen team go ask anybody when they
• 2:13:46
  won that title, when they beat the Lakers in the Finals.
• 2:13:48
  It was absolutely Paul Pierce that took over those games.
• 2:13:52
  They needed a big shot. They went to big shot Paul.
• 2:13:55
  The truth everybody knows that as far as Kevin, Kobe Bryant,
• 2:13:59
  Kobe Bryant was one of the most clutch shooters I've ever seen
• 2:14:02
  in the playoffs. The fade away 3 point shots that
• 2:14:05
  he made, He was unbelievable. I, I couldn't stand Kobe as a
• 2:14:08
  player. I, I can't take away his
• 2:14:10
  greatness. And then Magic Johnson, I mean,
• 2:14:12
  and you could have went so many different avenues.
• 2:14:15
  I like Larry Bird, but clutch. There were a lot of clutch
• 2:14:18
  players on those teams. Robert Parish was pretty clutch
• 2:14:21
  on that team. Danny Ainge was clutch on those
• 2:14:23
  teams. Also.
• 2:14:24
  Kevin McHale was very clutch on those championship teams.
• 2:14:27
  They had a lot of clutch players on those teams.
• 2:14:29
  Larry Bird was the best player on that team.
• 2:14:31
  But I just. Would have been a good six man
• 2:14:34
  guide too. Yeah, 100%.
• 2:14:38
  You know, there's another player that a lot of people probably
• 2:14:40
  don't, Dirk Nowinski. He was another one.
• 2:14:41
  I was looking at Dirk Nowinski when they went on that run.
• 2:14:44
  I he made some of the most ridiculous fade away jumpers,
• 2:14:49
  especially against Miami and go look at their path all the way
• 2:14:52
  to the finals. Look who they beat to go all the
• 2:14:55
  way to the finals and why did they beat all those great teams?
• 2:14:58
  Dirk Nowinski. I mean, I like Barrera and I
• 2:15:00
  love to mess around with people how great Barrera had of a
• 2:15:04
  playoff run. But everybody knows Dirk
• 2:15:06
  Nowinski had a big part of why why they won that championship.
• 2:15:10
  There's no argument to that. That was one of the greatest
• 2:15:12
  runs I've ever seen a player have.
• 2:15:14
  So Dirk Nowinski, if you pick Dirk Nowinski, I'd argue some of
• 2:15:18
  the arguments and Kawhi Leonard to another guy.
• 2:15:21
  So I loved Kawhi too. As we all know the claw as I
• 2:15:24
  called him so and still call him.
• 2:15:27
  He's got these big ass hands for a guy that 6 foot 76 foot 8 his
• 2:15:32
  his hands are bigger than Shaquille O'neal's Go look at
• 2:15:35
  his It's ridiculous. The video of.
• 2:15:37
  Them pulling it together. Yeah, yeah, his claws are
• 2:15:41
  humongous. So that's why he's such a great
• 2:15:43
  defensive player and and, and such a clutch shooter in so many
• 2:15:47
  of those San Antonio games and and even the championship they
• 2:15:51
  beat Miami with. I mean, he was his clutches.
• 2:15:53
  And how about Toronto when they won the title?
• 2:15:55
  He was so clutch. 76ers, remember that shot, even though
• 2:15:58
  everybody says it was lucky who shot that.
• 2:16:00
  That was the one and only Kawhi Leonard.
• 2:16:02
  So I could have went anyway, but I went to the three guys that
• 2:16:05
  you didn't pick that absolutely deserves more respect than a lot
• 2:16:10
  of people, you know, remember them to be.
• 2:16:12
  So Magic Johnson. Was Kawhi even a lot?
• 2:16:15
  Lottery pick? No, he was middle first round
• 2:16:18
  San Diego State 16th, I remember.
• 2:16:21
  When San Diego State team, I thought was going to win it all
• 2:16:22
  that year, yeah. He was the 16th I.
• 2:16:24
  Remember him being like good in college and then like he fell in
• 2:16:27
  the draft and it was, I was like, I don't know why he fell
• 2:16:30
  in the draft. And of course he goes to the
• 2:16:31
  Spurs and all of a sudden he's one of the best players in the
• 2:16:34
  world, right? He kind of felt remember he got
• 2:16:35
  drafted by him and Giannis were like drafted in the same area of
• 2:16:40
  the years they were drafted and and they said that if Giannis
• 2:16:42
  wasn't drafted in a top, I think 16, he would have went back to
• 2:16:46
  Greece and maybe there would have never been a Giannis.
• 2:16:49
  So it's a pretty crazy story, but there were a lot of great
• 2:16:53
  clutch players. But the one the the guys that
• 2:16:57
  you were picking, I definitely wouldn't have went Steph.
• 2:17:00
  I definitely Larry Bird. You can argue and who is the
• 2:17:02
  middle guy that you picked Robert Horry.
• 2:17:04
  I would have never picked Robert Horry.
• 2:17:06
  Because I mean, like, he hit a couple of big shots, but to call
• 2:17:10
  call him a clutch player, that's a little different.
• 2:17:12
  You know, like he, he hit a couple of big shots.
• 2:17:15
  I said Larry, if you want to argue Larry Bird, you can put
• 2:17:17
  him there, but the other two guys I definitely wouldn't.
• 2:17:19
  And I'm not taking shots at Seth Curry.
• 2:17:20
  A great one of the the best players on the team.
• 2:17:23
  And I think you're right, Errol, when they won the couple of
• 2:17:25
  those championships, he wasn't because Kevin Durant was at the
• 2:17:28
  peak of his powers still. 100%. But you know, sometimes your
• 2:17:33
  team falls off, like the Warriors look like they're
• 2:17:35
  probably going to do, and you end up getting in, sneaking into
• 2:17:38
  the lottery. Maybe you accidentally trade
• 2:17:40
  somebody to the Lakers and get first pick.
• 2:17:42
  Speaking of the lottery, Speaking of the lottery which
• 2:17:45
  we're going to get into, The Mavericks one the NBA lottery
• 2:17:48
  with just a 1.8% chance of winning it, which was fourth
• 2:17:53
  lowest percentage of any team eligible for a lottery.
• 2:17:57
  The odds were fourth lowest of any team since the lottery
• 2:18:01
  format began in 1985. Who was that?
• 2:18:04
  Patrick Ewing? The Spurs got the number two
• 2:18:08
  pick despite having the eighth highest percentage of landing
• 2:18:12
  the number one pick at just 6%. The Jazz, Hornets, and Wizards
• 2:18:16
  had 14% odds for the number one pick and neither of them got in
• 2:18:22
  the top three. The 76ers got the top three pick
• 2:18:26
  as they they pick #3 in the draft after having the third
• 2:18:31
  highest odds. Their their highest draft pick
• 2:18:35
  since Mark tells False and we all know what happened to him in
• 2:18:38
  2017. Many fans believe there is a
• 2:18:41
  conspiracy with teams losing players like The Mavericks lost
• 2:18:45
  Luka Donjic. People brought up LeBron James
• 2:18:48
  leaving the Cavaliers in 2011 and Anthony Davis being traded
• 2:18:53
  to the Pelicans in 2019. We all remember that one as
• 2:18:58
  well, which was they had back-to-back years of #1 picks.
• 2:19:03
  They had Kyrie Irving after LeBron James and who was the
• 2:19:06
  other guy? Anthony Bennett.
• 2:19:07
  Anthony Bennett, who had no career, was a horrible pick I'll
• 2:19:11
  never forget. Anthony Bennett, I think two
• 2:19:13
  years later they had it again. They had Andrew Wiggins.
• 2:19:15
  So they then traded for Kevin Love.
• 2:19:17
  I remember. Could you imagine A-Team having
• 2:19:20
  the three number one picks in 10 years?
• 2:19:23
  And, and really none of those guys had anything to do besides
• 2:19:26
  Kyrie Irving with one of those championships.
• 2:19:29
  How sad is that? And all of those guys are no
• 2:19:31
  longer on the Cavaliers. None of them.
• 2:19:34
  Well, Bennett didn't last in the league.
• 2:19:36
  At all? No.
• 2:19:36
  Two years Wiggins, you know, has bounced around as a role player,
• 2:19:40
  basically. I, I didn't understand the
• 2:19:42
  Bennett. I didn't understand Bennett
• 2:19:43
  going one. A lot of people thought, a lot
• 2:19:47
  of people thought he was maybe at best an 8th or 9th pick in
• 2:19:50
  the draft and he went one and it made no sense.
• 2:19:53
  He didn't fit the way you thought the Cavaliers were going
• 2:19:57
  to try to build, maybe trying to fit an athletic big man who is
• 2:20:00
  about 6867-A LeBron James type of body.
• 2:20:04
  But he wasn't LeBron James and he wasn't LeBron James was built
• 2:20:08
  like, I don't know, like an Olympian.
• 2:20:11
  I didn't see that with Bennett. He was overweight.
• 2:20:14
  I had some size to him. I I didn't understand it.
• 2:20:16
  He was a dunker, so it didn't make any sense.
• 2:20:18
  I didn't understand how the first of all, I don't understand
• 2:20:21
  how the format with the NBA works.
• 2:20:23
  It really bothers me that and I I knew when The Mavericks, the
• 2:20:28
  76ers and the Spurs were in the Final four, I knew those guys
• 2:20:34
  were going 1-2 and three. I didn't think the Hornets were
• 2:20:36
  getting in the top three. I knew they were going to fall
• 2:20:39
  to four. And it's just very fitting the
• 2:20:40
  way the NBA works when the Spurs lost webbing Yam and and he was
• 2:20:45
  out and he could be out a significant amount of time next
• 2:20:47
  year with a blood clot. We don't know when he's going to
• 2:20:50
  return. We don't know when he's coming
• 2:20:51
  back, even though a lot of people think he's going to be
• 2:20:53
  back in the beginning of the season.
• 2:20:54
  I just had some thoughts on why the Spurs were possibly going to
• 2:20:59
  win the draft. And I remember Tim Duncan with
• 2:21:01
  Wake Forest when they had I think they were the 8th or 9th
• 2:21:05
  best team to get the first first pick and they went from 8th or
• 2:21:09
  9th all the way to first. It was very fitting and the, and
• 2:21:12
  it really changed the, the trajectory.
• 2:21:15
  What's the word trajectory? Trajectory of the Spurs with
• 2:21:20
  David Robinson. David Robinson was at the tail
• 2:21:22
  end of his career. If you remember, it was 979697
• 2:21:26
  when they drafted Tim Duncan. It took what, 2 1/2 years for
• 2:21:30
  them to win a title with Tim Duncan and David Robinson.
• 2:21:33
  David Robinson ride off to the sunset and then Tim Duncan took
• 2:21:36
  over. He added Manu Ginobili, he added
• 2:21:38
  Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard eventually, and you build
• 2:21:41
  championship after championship after championship, 5
• 2:21:44
  championships with the great Greg Popovich as we all know
• 2:21:47
  what I think of them. I just look at what The
• 2:21:50
  Mavericks have done to their organization and it was very
• 2:21:54
  fitting at the LJA draft, the LeBron James Association draft,
• 2:21:59
  that The Mavericks would win the number one pick.
• 2:22:01
  LeBron gets Luka Doncic and has a chance to maybe lay in another
• 2:22:05
  superstar to play with him for the next, I don't know, 5 or 4
• 2:22:09
  years. Whenever LeBron decides to walk
• 2:22:11
  away, which seems to be never until he tries to time tight
• 2:22:14
  Kobe Bryant or even tie Michael Jordan.
• 2:22:17
  And you know what? LeBron just, you know, waves his
• 2:22:20
  magic wand as I said, and automatically at 1.8% chance,
• 2:22:25
  they get the number one pick and they get the great prize in
• 2:22:29
  Cooper Flag. And and this is great for the
• 2:22:31
  Dallas Mavericks in their organization because Cooper Flag
• 2:22:34
  is the face of United States basketball.
• 2:22:37
  I've said this and I'll say it again, it's perfect.
• 2:22:40
  Luka Dodgek, one of the best foreign players in the world.
• 2:22:43
  Nobody gave a crap that he was there with Dallas.
• 2:22:45
  And now you get a guy that is just as athletic and just as
• 2:22:49
  gifted as Luka Dodgek offensively, I believe, And
• 2:22:52
  defensively I compare him to the white Kevin Durant.
• 2:22:56
  If Cooper flag turns into a Kevin Durant prototype who can
• 2:23:01
  play defense and do the things that he could do on a basketball
• 2:23:03
  court, well, who do you think wins in this trade?
• 2:23:07
  Nico Harrison And Nico Harrison at that press conference, does
• 2:23:11
  anybody remember what Nico said? Nico says I got a plan, I got a
• 2:23:16
  plan and my plan will happen at the end of the season.
• 2:23:20
  Now, I don't know if it's plan was to get the number one pick,
• 2:23:23
  but the NBA had a plan for him to get the number one pick if
• 2:23:26
  they were going to trade Luka Dajik.
• 2:23:28
  I don't know if it's a conspiracy theory, but it didn't
• 2:23:30
  make any sense how the Lakers were the only team up for grab
• 2:23:35
  for Luka Dajik. They get Luka Dajik and then
• 2:23:37
  they become the third best team in the Western Conference.
• 2:23:40
  The Mavericks sneak in on that playing game, lose and everybody
• 2:23:44
  says, ah, this team's going to be garbage and then what do they
• 2:23:47
  get? They get Cooper Flake, horrible.
• 2:23:49
  The Spurs getting the number two pick horrible.
• 2:23:52
  I don't like it. It's not very good for fox
• 2:23:54
  unless the Spurs trade that pick, which me and you, Mr. Fish
• 2:23:58
  have been talking about. Maybe they use that to get
• 2:24:01
  Giannis. I don't know.
• 2:24:02
  I don't think it makes sense. But are they going to trade for
• 2:24:06
  a point guard to get a guy? I don't know if the Bucks are
• 2:24:09
  going to be looking for a point guard, a young point guard from
• 2:24:11
  Rutgers. I don't trust Rutgers players
• 2:24:14
  out of basketball to go to the the NBA and become superstars.
• 2:24:17
  I just don't trust it. When was the last time could you
• 2:24:20
  remember a Rutgers player that left Rutgers and became a star?
• 2:24:23
  No, you can't. And I'm not going to bet on a
• 2:24:25
  Rutgers player to go to the NBA and become a superstar.
• 2:24:28
  So I think it's a bad move. The.
• 2:24:30
  Pride of New Jersey, you're talking.
• 2:24:32
  About I'm just speaking the truth.
• 2:24:33
  If it's not here, we could take shots.
• 2:24:34
  I'm just speaking the truth. I I'm, I'm very upset at the NBA
• 2:24:38
  because the Jazz deserved at least the top five pick.
• 2:24:41
  They didn't get it. The Hornets, they get the 4th
• 2:24:44
  pick. The Hornets are just a bad
• 2:24:46
  organization. Lamella Ball is going to
• 2:24:48
  probably leave the organization very, very soon because he knows
• 2:24:51
  they have no chance of winning. And he's the type of type of
• 2:24:53
  person in that family, the type of family that would stab the
• 2:24:57
  the the Hornets in the back. So I could see Lamella Ball
• 2:25:00
  leave it and the Wizards come on, what do they have look to
• 2:25:03
  look up to and look forward to? Nothing.
• 2:25:05
  They've got nothing. What do they where are they
• 2:25:08
  sitting 7th, 8th. I mean, it's just they got
• 2:25:11
  screwed. They got screwed.
• 2:25:12
  I don't like it. I don't like that the the Spurs
• 2:25:15
  are a borderline playoff team in the second-half, adding the
• 2:25:18
  Aaron fox. Now they have webbing Yama, They
• 2:25:20
  they have the Aaron Fox. And even if they don't go with
• 2:25:22
  the point guard, they get another castle.
• 2:25:24
  Yeah, they can get Castle. Yeah, they can get, I'm sorry,
• 2:25:28
  they have Castle, but you know what I'm saying?
• 2:25:29
  They can they can add another player to a roster that's pretty
• 2:25:33
  loaded as far as youth is concerned.
• 2:25:35
  So I don't like it. I think the NBA is completely
• 2:25:38
  selfish and I don't want to hear it that this is the way the
• 2:25:41
  Bulls dropped the NHL did it right.
• 2:25:44
  They did it in front of the cameras.
• 2:25:45
  They did it in front of the fans.
• 2:25:47
  Why is it the NBA, they have a room of eight machines and
• 2:25:52
  nobody can go in and nobody can go out while they're doing
• 2:25:56
  these, these balls and these picks and, and then all of a
• 2:25:59
  sudden you're picking up cards and you're raising these cards.
• 2:26:01
  I think there's something behind it.
• 2:26:03
  I think the NBA needs to show how they're, they're, they're
• 2:26:07
  picking these balls and how they're, they're these, these
• 2:26:10
  teams are winning the lottery because the NHL proved that
• 2:26:13
  they're not cheating. The NHL proved that it was fair
• 2:26:16
  and square the way it landed and how the Islanders just won the
• 2:26:19
  draft. And this is despicable,
• 2:26:21
  absolutely despicable. Absolutely.
• 2:26:23
  There should be an investigation on The Mavericks winning 1.8%
• 2:26:28
  chance. I mean, you're better off when
• 2:26:30
  you have a better chance of winning the regular lottery than
• 2:26:32
  winning the NBA lottery at 1.8%. It's despicable, absolutely
• 2:26:37
  despicable. The NBA has some, There's got to
• 2:26:39
  be some questions. I think a writer should come out
• 2:26:42
  there and attack the NBA from this.
• 2:26:44
  One of those things where you see one of these top three picks
• 2:26:47
  get weird because that's the design of the lottery.
• 2:26:48
  That's why these these guys have advocated away from tanking and
• 2:26:52
  they have punished teams like The Mavericks in the past and
• 2:26:54
  the Bulls and seems like that for tanking at the end of the
• 2:26:56
  season. And they don't want that kind of
• 2:26:59
  thing to be a precedent because they want competitive product,
• 2:27:02
  which they're not going to get in the regular season anyway
• 2:27:04
  because of low management. So let's see what the NBA does
• 2:27:06
  instead. Let's go.
• 2:27:07
  What scenario is going to create the most storylines as a result?
• 2:27:10
  Nico Harrison's being scrutinized because of these,
• 2:27:13
  all his dumb things that he said and all these dumb things that
• 2:27:15
  he's done. So he's going to be looked at.
• 2:27:17
  No, let's reward him with the number one pick.
• 2:27:19
  Let's see how they could either screw it up or let's see how
• 2:27:21
  Cooper flags in a rot in Dallas. Eventually that team could move
• 2:27:23
  to Vegas. Like you were thinking Errol but
• 2:27:25
  the casinos over. There might happen.
• 2:27:27
  Now it might happen. And, and all of a sudden, all
• 2:27:29
  right, let's let's go draw up the storylines then obviously
• 2:27:31
  the spurs are going to have a lot of storylines too with Wembe
• 2:27:33
  obviously Popovich not there anymore.
• 2:27:34
  How is this team going to be the same with a 38 year old unproven
• 2:27:37
  coach Now Popovich is still going to be have an influence in
• 2:27:39
  the. Organization.
• 2:27:40
  But you said the same thing about Duke with Cooper Flag and
• 2:27:43
  his great coach of John Shire. Like is it really to make a
• 2:27:46
  difference of how good of a coach he could actually is?
• 2:27:48
  Where it's going to be? Those guys going to be
• 2:27:49
  influenced and college, it's not the same as the NBA.
• 2:27:52
  You don't have this kind of recruiting prowess.
• 2:27:53
  They still to make these front office decisions.
• 2:27:55
  Maybe they do make a big swing. Maybe if it's not somebody like
• 2:27:58
  Giannis and somebody as big as Giannis, maybe somebody likes
• 2:28:00
  the bonus. Reunite him with Fox.
• 2:28:02
  Spankum, Speedy Spankum. Is definitely a possibility, but
• 2:28:05
  there's tons of options that they have.
• 2:28:07
  With the drop, right? With the number two pick and
• 2:28:09
  they have the eighth highest odds.
• 2:28:11
  One is 11/1 is 8. There's a pro sexual action
• 2:28:14
  official on the other end of it. The top three seeds, which this
• 2:28:18
  isn't the issue I've had with it.
• 2:28:19
  They had all similar percentages.
• 2:28:21
  I think it should be based more on the game's back rather than
• 2:28:24
  the one default percentage. What if you have a team that's
• 2:28:26
  like 12 win season and like, or even Detroit last year, how
• 2:28:29
  atrociously bad they were and they felt a fire or something
• 2:28:31
  like that. And then there's a pattern
• 2:28:33
  that's constantly going on. The Wizards got the number one
• 2:28:36
  or the number two pick last year.
• 2:28:37
  OK, that's fine. But the Hornets, when's the last
• 2:28:39
  time the Hornets actually had it too?
• 2:28:41
  But the the Jazz When's the last time they've had a pick that
• 2:28:43
  early? And they they.
• 2:28:45
  Fall all the way to 5 like it's something a little off there.
• 2:28:48
  I farted I. Don't really care about the Jazz
• 2:28:52
  or anything like that, but I'll say this.
• 2:28:55
  The first, second and third picks in this draft were all
• 2:28:59
  people teams that jumped the Sixers or the third pick, We
• 2:29:02
  didn't even talk about them yet. They were they weren't supposed
• 2:29:06
  to be there either. So I saw there was a statistic
• 2:29:09
  that said something like it was well over 8000 to one odds that
• 2:29:15
  this it would go that those three teams were in the top
• 2:29:17
  four, like 8000 to one, that all three of them would be up there
• 2:29:22
  with the Hornets, who had the best odds coming in.
• 2:29:25
  We should have been up there. That's real fishy, man.
• 2:29:29
  I'm sorry. That's pretty crazy.
• 2:29:32
  It feels like they, they identified 3 teams, the NBA that
• 2:29:36
  they wanted to help out Dallas for getting all this back Flack.
• 2:29:40
  Or if they say it was rigged. I, I don't even know what to
• 2:29:42
  believe. I don't trust them.
• 2:29:44
  Everything is has to do with the Lakers and these types of
• 2:29:46
  things. I'm real.
• 2:29:47
  It smells real fishy to me, the fact that you know, you get, he
• 2:29:50
  gets Luca and now we reward you with the first pick overall.
• 2:29:54
  Yeah, Cooper. I don't know, you know, I don't
• 2:29:57
  know how I feel about that. And then you have the Spurs when
• 2:30:00
  we had that blood clot thing. So they they want to make sure
• 2:30:03
  they have a star there. And then you have the Sixers and
• 2:30:06
  then beat who knows what he's going to look like after
• 2:30:09
  whatever they do to his legs, because he he he I would argue
• 2:30:13
  we've seen the best of him beat at this point.
• 2:30:16
  So I could I just feels like they were trying to help out
• 2:30:19
  those teams. I could be completely wrong and
• 2:30:22
  it's just dumb luck, but that's pretty crazy luck If it's like
• 2:30:26
  over 8000 to 1, you know, that's that's way more than what Chaz
• 2:30:31
  got for his horses. Yep, on the Kentucky Derby.
• 2:30:34
  Could you imagine? Could you imagine if you were a
• 2:30:37
  betting handicapped man and you put $1000 on The Mavericks
• 2:30:42
  winning the number one pick? You guys would have made
• 2:30:45
  yourself a lot of money. And you know what?
• 2:30:47
  Next year. Mavericks, Spurs.
• 2:30:49
  Sixers and you put $1000 down on 8001, you would have won 800,000
• 2:30:55
  or is that 8 million? I think it's $8 million.
• 2:30:57
  You know what? Next year, ridiculous.
• 2:30:59
  Next year I'm betting on the draft.
• 2:31:01
  I'm betting on the draft. I might as well put 100 because
• 2:31:04
  if I put 100 on it, I'm making 80,000.
• 2:31:07
  So I, if I had the one and two and three pick, which I told
• 2:31:12
  you, you had the 76ers, I had the Spurs and why not The
• 2:31:16
  Mavericks? I mean, we were, we were
• 2:31:17
  speaking about it before the draft, like weeks and weeks.
• 2:31:20
  Before the NBA would dare do. That no.
• 2:31:22
  We didn't. They wouldn't dare.
• 2:31:24
  And of course they did. Yeah, well, that's because the
• 2:31:27
  it's not the NBA, it's the LJ LeBron James Association.
• 2:31:30
  I'm not going to lie to you here, if you guys don't think
• 2:31:33
  this anymore or any fan out there doesn't think what I'm
• 2:31:36
  telling you or trying to push to all the fans listening to the
• 2:31:40
  show right now that LeBron James has something to do with it with
• 2:31:43
  Adam Silver. Well, guys, now you know, why
• 2:31:46
  don't you pat me on the back. You might want to hate me on
• 2:31:48
  social media. I'll pat myself on the back
• 2:31:51
  because I was right as I always and sometimes.
• 2:31:56
  I'm not going to say all the time, sometimes.
• 2:31:59
  Now the real question, we were talking about the Celtics, if
• 2:32:01
  like Tatum was hurt all of all next year, which she probably
• 2:32:04
  will. Be I'm putting you on a lease
• 2:32:05
  now. Getting a lower pick would Would
• 2:32:07
  LeBron and the LeBron James Association really want to
• 2:32:10
  reward his favorite player and Jalen Brown that likes to take
• 2:32:12
  shot at his son though? Yeah, I mean, come on.
• 2:32:15
  But Bronie James should never have made the NBA.
• 2:32:18
  We all know that. But the NBA obviously wants to
• 2:32:21
  sell that because it's LeBron James's son and Bryce, who I
• 2:32:25
  think is going to be a really good player in the NBA when he
• 2:32:28
  gets his chance. Let's just see how he, you know,
• 2:32:30
  where he goes and where he decides to go and play his
• 2:32:33
  college ball. But when he actually goes and
• 2:32:36
  plays pretty good ball over there in college, I'm interested
• 2:32:39
  to see where Bryce goes. But it's embarrassing.
• 2:32:42
  The NBA is trying to build a product which is already built,
• 2:32:46
  it's already growing internationally, and what
• 2:32:48
  they're doing right now is making a mockery of their
• 2:32:51
  organization. Because anybody that thinks that
• 2:32:54
  the NBA had nothing to do with The Mavericks getting the number
• 2:32:56
  one and the Spurs getting another #2 and the 76ers getting
• 2:32:59
  #3 then you guys don't know basketball.
• 2:33:02
  There is nothing fake about this.
• 2:33:05
  I have been saying this all the time.
• 2:33:07
  I do a radio show. I do a sports radio show, and
• 2:33:09
  I'm a big sports fan. Sports has become a business and
• 2:33:14
  what they're trying to sell is not the team, they're selling
• 2:33:18
  the players and the players on where they play obviously is
• 2:33:23
  going to build sponsorships and productivity for that
• 2:33:28
  organization to sell a casino. Could you imagine what Cooper
• 2:33:32
  Cup is going to be in this league if he becomes anything
• 2:33:34
  that I think he was going to become 5-6 years ago?
• 2:33:38
  Like I thought he was going to be a * Could you imagine if he's
• 2:33:40
  the face of United States basketball and Dallas now says
• 2:33:44
  we got the best player in United States basketball.
• 2:33:48
  OK, you want a casino, put a casino right here, you can have
• 2:33:52
  it. Here you go.
• 2:33:53
  You got Cooper flag. Now you can wave, wave the
• 2:33:56
  United States flag and say, OK, mark the trail right over here.
• 2:34:00
  Dallas, you can have it. This is perfect for the Dallas
• 2:34:03
  Mavericks. This is perfect for the NBA to
• 2:34:06
  give Dallas the one superstar that I believe could change an
• 2:34:10
  organization. Now, now, the real question.
• 2:34:12
  Will Nico Harrison do your best scenario, Best case scenario?
• 2:34:15
  Would he be dumb enough? Nico Harrison?
• 2:34:17
  Hold on, I know you like this one.
• 2:34:18
  Would he be dumb enough to fire Jason Kidd and hire John?
• 2:34:20
  First of all, why the hell was Ronaldo Blackman there?
• 2:34:24
  Ronaldo Blackman? I like Ronaldo, he played for
• 2:34:28
  the Knicks for a little while. I remember him in the 90s.
• 2:34:31
  Who the hell is Ronaldo Blackman?
• 2:34:33
  That is ridiculous. How is he the guy sitting that
• 2:34:36
  seat? Rolando Ronaldo, our man, Be
• 2:34:40
  man. Whatever the hell you want to
• 2:34:41
  call him, who cares? It doesn't matter what his name
• 2:34:44
  is. I don't care what his name is,
• 2:34:47
  The fact that he's the guy that you picked to pick in that, to
• 2:34:51
  pick in that seat or sit in that seat, that's ridiculous.
• 2:34:53
  You should have had Nico Harrison because they put a
• 2:34:55
  probably he would have put a hex on that organization.
• 2:34:59
  I mean, it's just pathetic, absolutely pathetic.
• 2:35:01
  Go ahead. I'm I'm done with this.
• 2:35:03
  I am so mad at the NBA for the fact that the NBA allowed this.
• 2:35:07
  They allowed The Mavericks to get the number one pick and
• 2:35:10
  don't I want to hear Adam Silver say that this is fairly done.
• 2:35:13
  It's not fairly done. A one point 8% chance of winning
• 2:35:18
  the pick and you get the number one pick after trading your
• 2:35:21
  franchise player in the not even the prime of his career.
• 2:35:24
  He's 24 years old, 25. Despicable, embarrassing.
• 2:35:29
  Done. I'm done with it.
• 2:35:31
  Go ahead. I've got whatever whoever wants
• 2:35:33
  to speak, Tommy, you got it. Whatever.
• 2:35:36
  Just to say much more of the same.
• 2:35:37
  There's no way, there's no way that none of this, this is
• 2:35:40
  rigged. I mean, of course what Nico
• 2:35:43
  Harrison has. And now The thing is that I want
• 2:35:45
  to ask you guys something, but on paper, what do you guys, what
• 2:35:48
  do you guys think that The Mavericks finish next year?
• 2:35:49
  Because this team looks like a it could be a deep playoff team.
• 2:35:53
  Kyrie Irving. Making Nico Harrison look like a
• 2:35:55
  genius. Kyrie Irving, Kyrie Irving, I'm
• 2:35:57
  sorry, Irving. Kyrie Irving is not going to be
• 2:35:59
  back until the middle of the season.
• 2:36:01
  So I don't even know if Kyrie will be there by the by the next
• 2:36:05
  season. I think he'll be traded.
• 2:36:06
  I think there are teams interested in Kyrie Irving.
• 2:36:08
  They'll they know they're going to have to wait.
• 2:36:10
  Maybe the Lakers, there are other teams now.
• 2:36:12
  The Lakers are going to have to figure out the cap, but they'll
• 2:36:14
  figure it out if it if it's the LJA, if they want Kyrie Irving,
• 2:36:18
  they're going to get them. Anthony Davis is not going to be
• 2:36:21
  there next year. I think what they're going to
• 2:36:23
  do, Dallas is going to do is they're going to build around
• 2:36:25
  Cooper flag. They're going to trade away
• 2:36:26
  these pieces and try to get as much draft stock as they
• 2:36:30
  possibly can and add young players to play with Cooper Flag
• 2:36:33
  for the future, because next year there's a bunch of dookies
• 2:36:36
  that are going to come out of the draft as well.
• 2:36:38
  And why not? I there's one guy and I his two
• 2:36:41
  sons and you know, I'm talking about Mr. Speedster.
• 2:36:45
  So his sons. Well, I'm sorry, Boozer.
• 2:36:48
  Yeah, the Boozer boys, the Boozer boys, They're, they're
• 2:36:51
  going to be highly profiled names in next year's draft class
• 2:36:56
  and I, they're want, they're probably going one and two or
• 2:36:59
  one and four or something of that magnitude.
• 2:37:01
  I wouldn't be surprised if another Duke player or two will
• 2:37:05
  go to The Mavericks cuz that's something the NBA would love to
• 2:37:08
  do. Give them whatever it takes to
• 2:37:10
  get them championship teams and, and put that casino cuz it's
• 2:37:14
  good for the NBA. You guys don't think so.
• 2:37:16
  How about you guys, Everybody listening to the show right now,
• 2:37:19
  you're going to tell me right now, casino doesn't help the NBA
• 2:37:23
  and the and the NBA grow their product, bringing people
• 2:37:26
  internationally to go and watch the Dallas Mavericks 100%.
• 2:37:29
  This is perfect. Just like Vegas, just like
• 2:37:32
  bringing a Vegas basketball team.
• 2:37:34
  Yeah. You don't think that's going?
• 2:37:35
  To get an expansion team even if no one moves.
• 2:37:37
  It's going to happen. It's going to happen.
• 2:37:39
  They have a Vegas hockey team, they have a Vegas football team,
• 2:37:42
  they're going to have a Vegas basketball team.
• 2:37:44
  Why? Because it's Mucho De Niro.
• 2:37:47
  You're going to sell out people internationally.
• 2:37:50
  They're going to go and watch those games, so they're going to
• 2:37:52
  sell out those tickets. And the same thing with the
• 2:37:54
  Dallas Mavericks. You're automatically going to
• 2:37:57
  become a fan because you have Cooper flag there and you get a
• 2:38:00
  chance to see one of the best young players, young American
• 2:38:02
  players we've seen in a very long time.
• 2:38:04
  Tommy, to answer your question quickly before we go to left
• 2:38:06
  parlay, I don't know this year they're going to be as much
• 2:38:08
  different as they were the last year just because I think Cooper
• 2:38:11
  flag as great, great as he is, he can only do so much.
• 2:38:14
  If Anthony Davis is going to be hurt half the season, Kyrie
• 2:38:16
  Irving is already going to be hurt more than half the season
• 2:38:19
  as it is. So it's going to be tough to
• 2:38:20
  manage all. That Kyrie's gone.
• 2:38:22
  I'm telling you right now, there's no way.
• 2:38:24
  There's a strong possibility. They're not keeping Kyrie
• 2:38:26
  Irving. I'm telling you right now, don't
• 2:38:27
  be surprised by after the draft or during the draft, you're
• 2:38:31
  going to hear a rumbling that Kyrie Irving is going to be
• 2:38:34
  gone. He's going to go to a
• 2:38:35
  championship team tearing his ACL.
• 2:38:37
  There's no way The Mavericks are going to keep Kyrie Irving.
• 2:38:40
  There's going to be a contender that's going to be looking for
• 2:38:43
  somebody that's going to get him over the hump.
• 2:38:45
  I'm telling you, remember I said this, the Lakers are definitely
• 2:38:50
  a possibility. So don't forget I said that.
• 2:38:53
  When it happens, you're going to say how the hell are you?
• 2:38:55
  You're good with the Lakers. I'm just telling you guys, this
• 2:38:58
  is what I believe. It's the LJA.
• 2:39:00
  Kyrie Irving has played his best basketball with him.
• 2:39:03
  LeBron James, Luca Dodgicks there.
• 2:39:06
  Who did Luca play his best basketball with?
• 2:39:08
  Kyrie Irving. It makes a lot of sense.
• 2:39:11
  But through I was going to say two and three together and I
• 2:39:14
  would put one and three together because that's where they're
• 2:39:16
  going to be 1-2 and three. Sell that baby, put that on.
• 2:39:20
  You know, I'm going to put a bet on it.
• 2:39:21
  Can I place a bet on it? Is there any possible way I can
• 2:39:24
  make a bet that Kyrie Irving is going to be a Laker?
• 2:39:26
  I wonder if I could and what what kind of odds there are.
• 2:39:29
  Probably I got to ask Reno Johnny.
• 2:39:33
  I had to ask Reno Johnny, but. Don't you think they should tear
• 2:39:36
  it down though? They really should.
• 2:39:39
  Who, The Lakers? No, the Lakers?
• 2:39:41
  The map. They are going to tear it down.
• 2:39:44
  But you know they have those guys and you wanted them to get
• 2:39:47
  younger guys. You know you can get something
• 2:39:49
  for Kyrie. The Lakers don't have a lot.
• 2:39:51
  It's going to have to be 3 team deals and you know they'll find
• 2:39:54
  a way because the Lakers have LeBron James.
• 2:39:57
  On the team and the. And Anthony Davis, I think they
• 2:40:01
  keep Anthony Davis, though. You know, Nico was pretty
• 2:40:05
  adamant that defence wins championships not that long ago
• 2:40:10
  and he thought that Anthony Davis brings the defence that
• 2:40:13
  wins the championships. And I think that may have been
• 2:40:16
  the case a few years ago and maybe not the case anymore, but
• 2:40:19
  I feel like he can't back out of this deal this year.
• 2:40:22
  I, I don't, I disagree, Errol, I don't think he can.
• 2:40:25
  He can't, he can't just lose face that badly on the deal in
• 2:40:29
  less than one year. He's got to roll with.
• 2:40:30
  It they're going to trade him, they're going to trade him.
• 2:40:32
  I don't. Think he can do it?
• 2:40:33
  I don't think he can. I absolutely.
• 2:40:36
  Harrison could easily get duped. I absolutely.
• 2:40:38
  Believe Harrison in that position.
• 2:40:40
  I see him being able to be traded but I don't think Nico
• 2:40:43
  can. How can that that guy even like
• 2:40:45
  talk? Anyone ever believe that
• 2:40:47
  anything that guy says ever again?
• 2:40:48
  Nobody believes him. No, we don't believe.
• 2:40:50
  Him. Nobody believes him.
• 2:40:51
  Why would anybody believe him after what he's done to an
• 2:40:54
  organization the way he has so and.
• 2:40:56
  He gets this dumb luck. It's not dumb luck, it's the LJI
• 2:41:00
  told you, LeBron James said let them win.
• 2:41:04
  I got Luca, they get Cooper. Anyways.
• 2:41:06
  Ladies and gentlemen, we call this Let's parlay.
• 2:41:18
  It's time for Les Parlay. It's been a lot of yelling on
• 2:41:23
  this show, ladies and gentlemen, and one guy that doesn't like to
• 2:41:26
  yell, he likes to hang out, is he?
• 2:41:29
  He's got to be in his car. He's got to be somewhere, unless
• 2:41:31
  he's like. You're.
• 2:41:32
  In a little. Box.
• 2:41:33
  What's going on over there? You're in a little box over
• 2:41:35
  there. Where is it?
• 2:41:36
  Going, I have this dining room table light that just doesn't
• 2:41:39
  doesn't light it's on, but you wouldn't know it was on.
• 2:41:41
  So you're trying to keep it for like a night?
• 2:41:44
  You're celebrating something once.
• 2:41:45
  It's got his Easter decorations up still.
• 2:41:47
  What's that? Yeah.
• 2:41:51
  Who found the egg? Speedy.
• 2:41:52
  Speedy, did you find your eggs? Did I find eggs?
• 2:41:55
  Yeah, eggs. No, I didn't find any.
• 2:41:57
  Eggs. You don't go egg hunting.
• 2:41:59
  I did as a kid. I.
• 2:42:00
  Haven't done it in a while. I mean, have you ever been
• 2:42:02
  smacked in the ass while you were looking for eggs?
• 2:42:04
  No, never done that, No. So you didn't have somebody like
• 2:42:07
  No with you behind you. How about something you know,
• 2:42:10
  ducking and trying to look for eggs and accidentally his face
• 2:42:13
  or it's face when in your ass. How about that?
• 2:42:15
  Never. No.
• 2:42:16
  OK, I I mean you had your dog lick your ass so.
• 2:42:19
  Again by accident and it was not on.
• 2:42:21
  Instagram, I mean, nobody admits that they had a dog lick their
• 2:42:23
  ass, OK, except Speedy. So ladies and gentlemen, Speedy
• 2:42:26
  is one in a million. Ladies and gentlemen, if you
• 2:42:28
  don't know how this game works, it's very simple.
• 2:42:32
  We have Reno Johnny, he's going to give you his top 41 after the
• 2:42:35
  other and he's going to give you his picks and you can keep tabs
• 2:42:39
  or even make bets on his picks. So it's 4 123 and his fourth
• 2:42:45
  will be his parlay. Are you ready, Reno?
• 2:42:47
  Johnny. Yeah, we're ready.
• 2:42:50
  We're ready. Let's go.
• 2:42:53
  We're going to start with the NBA.
• 2:42:54
  We're going to start and we're going to fade.
• 2:42:57
  The New York Knickerbockers catching 2 1/2 from the Celtics.
• 2:43:02
  And I know if you're trying to bet this game, you know, Jason
• 2:43:06
  Tandem's out. We understand that.
• 2:43:08
  But if you look at the Celtics this break this year without
• 2:43:11
  Jason Tatum, including the playoff game, but they just won
• 2:43:13
  by 20. They're tended to they've done
• 2:43:16
  really well without Jason Tatum. I was really worried about how
• 2:43:19
  they were going to respond. Jaylen Brown to me, he's kind of
• 2:43:22
  been a guy haven't really been high on.
• 2:43:24
  He really responded well. He became a leader.
• 2:43:27
  He he he's, he really believed and look at him play.
• 2:43:29
  I think he believes they can win this series.
• 2:43:31
  I look at this this Knicks team, they've been down by 20 points
• 2:43:34
  in all but one game. They should have lost the 1st 2.
• 2:43:37
  They came back to miraculous fashion, but the the Knicks have
• 2:43:41
  not been the better team. It's it's a weird thing to say
• 2:43:43
  between I was a three one. They have not been the better
• 2:43:46
  team. And you look at this red to it,
• 2:43:48
  it's almost begging for Nick money, right?
• 2:43:51
  You don't have the best player on the court.
• 2:43:53
  Knicks are only -2 1/2 on their homecourt where they won game 4
• 2:43:57
  by dominant fashion. They won game point and two on
• 2:43:59
  the road. The spread just doesn't make a
• 2:44:02
  lot of sense. I'm going to take the plus 2 1/2
• 2:44:04
  sprinkle on the money line. I'm going to take the the
• 2:44:06
  Celtics to win that game outright, but I'll have the
• 2:44:09
  points in my back pocket. They've just been the better
• 2:44:11
  team with or without Jason Tatum to me, I don't know if he's
• 2:44:15
  really it's going to sound weird.
• 2:44:17
  Talent wise, he's great. I'm not sure he's makes their
• 2:44:21
  team better that makes any sense.
• 2:44:23
  So I like the Celtics to win that game and get this pushes to
• 2:44:26
  a Game 7 and the New York Knicks deal with the New York Knicks
• 2:44:29
  too. They you're.
• 2:44:31
  A hater. You're an absolute hater.
• 2:44:34
  I I knew you were going to go that route.
• 2:44:36
  So, OK, give us your number 2. You know what it it?
• 2:44:39
  I don't really. I hate both.
• 2:44:40
  Teams. No.
• 2:44:41
  You're a Nick hater. You're a Nick hater.
• 2:44:43
  Anybody that listens to Reno Johnny at any point.
• 2:44:47
  Reno Johnny's been on this show for years.
• 2:44:50
  He hates the New York Knicks. He hates the Yankees.
• 2:44:53
  He hates any New York team. He hates them.
• 2:44:56
  No So. I'm cool with the Mets.
• 2:44:57
  No, you're cool with the Mets. That's right.
• 2:44:59
  Yeah, you're cool with the Mets because they're not in the same
• 2:45:02
  division as the Baltimore Orioles.
• 2:45:04
  Who absolutely suck, by the way. And I was right about them.
• 2:45:07
  They suck. I told you.
• 2:45:09
  I told. You.
• 2:45:10
  We're going to. Head to hockey and we're going
• 2:45:14
  to take the Florida Panthers -1.5 on the fuck right.
• 2:45:17
  This is a team that, look, they've also dominated this
• 2:45:20
  series. If you take away period one in
• 2:45:22
  game one and period 2IN Game 2, they've been the better team
• 2:45:26
  start to finish all game, all series long.
• 2:45:30
  This Florida Panthers seem kind of they they let some games get
• 2:45:33
  away from them games 1:00 and 2:00, but they finally turned it
• 2:45:37
  on. They tied it up to 2.
• 2:45:39
  They got they they went up 6. Nothing on the road when the
• 2:45:43
  game 61. Now they're back on their home
• 2:45:46
  ice. They have a chance here to close
• 2:45:48
  it out. I don't think it's going to be
• 2:45:49
  closed. They've been the better team all
• 2:45:50
  series long. They put in more shots all
• 2:45:52
  series long and Burbowski's put up 58 straight saves.
• 2:45:55
  I'm not sure they're going to score many goals.
• 2:45:57
  Give me the Florida Panthers to win this and Toronto also does
• 2:46:01
  what they do in the playoffs and that is lose.
• 2:46:03
  Toronto loses. I want to stay it off.
• 2:46:05
  Any Canadian hockey fans out there when it was the last time
• 2:46:09
  I ever won a World Cup? I'm just going to win Panthers.
• 2:46:12
  Y'all fail in the playoffs. Florida Panthers get to the next
• 2:46:16
  round in dominant fashion. Toronto, go back, go eat your
• 2:46:19
  Maple syrup. Get out of the playoffs.
• 2:46:22
  It's a baseball. I like baseball.
• 2:46:23
  What are you? I like my pancakes.
• 2:46:25
  The. Last time, the last time in a
• 2:46:26
  full season a Canadian team went to the Cup was that.
• 2:46:29
  Somebody had all the. Protests after that, but so the
• 2:46:32
  only other one was that short season with the Canadians, but
• 2:46:34
  that was a fluke so Vancouver was the last one in 11 and the
• 2:46:39
  last one to win was 93 they. They just don't, you know, when
• 2:46:44
  you look at, they just don't win.
• 2:46:46
  And it's kind of a weird thing. Hockey, hockey's the birth
• 2:46:48
  place, you know, in Canada. They just don't win.
• 2:46:51
  They haven't done well. So we're going to fade them.
• 2:46:53
  And if you look at the Series 2, Florida's been the better team.
• 2:46:56
  They just lost game 1:00 and 2:00, but they really have been
• 2:46:58
  the better team all series. Long Who's the last Canadian
• 2:47:00
  team to win a Stanley Cup? Canadians.
• 2:47:04
  Yes, that's correct. 93 Beat the Kings.
• 2:47:08
  Long time ago, baby. Yeah, all right.
• 2:47:10
  Give us your #3. And we're going to go to
• 2:47:13
  baseball, we're going to go to the team that has been
• 2:47:16
  absolutely terrible, and we're going to fade them.
• 2:47:21
  We're going to take the Washington Nationals.
• 2:47:22
  I'm an Orioles fan. Everybody knows I'm an Orioles
• 2:47:24
  fan. They sucked.
• 2:47:25
  One thing about they're terrible, but the one thing
• 2:47:28
  about the Orioles as I look at a team that going into the
• 2:47:31
  offseason had two glaring issues, starting pitching which
• 2:47:35
  we didn't address, and one thing that nobody really understands
• 2:47:38
  is our bullpen needed a massive overhaul.
• 2:47:42
  Our bullpen by metrics, by metrics we were over performing
• 2:47:46
  all standard metrics. If you look at the Orioles
• 2:47:48
  bullpen, they were consistently top ten in the last two years,
• 2:47:53
  but their metrics indicator regression was going to come and
• 2:47:55
  just never did. Dean Kramer for the last four
• 2:47:58
  years has been a good solid pitcher and every year
• 2:48:01
  progression was going to hit and it just never did.
• 2:48:05
  So we have two glaring issues and the Orioles did absolutely
• 2:48:07
  nothing to fix those issues. We don't have a bad lineup we
• 2:48:10
  can hit. We have a bunch of guys hitting
• 2:48:11
  250 plus some some home run power.
• 2:48:14
  We just don't have any pitching to support it.
• 2:48:16
  I actually like this National, so many, they match up pretty
• 2:48:19
  well. You don't know what national
• 2:48:21
  team you're going to get. I have the bad luck with the
• 2:48:22
  nationals. Sometimes I feel like I bet on
• 2:48:24
  them and I get, I get the the three years ago nationals team
• 2:48:27
  after they won this, after they won the World Series and they
• 2:48:29
  were terrible. But sometimes they can hit.
• 2:48:31
  They got a little pop in the top half a lineup.
• 2:48:33
  And I actually like Mackenzie Gore.
• 2:48:35
  Mackenzie Gore is one of those acquisitions they got in the
• 2:48:37
  Juan Soto deal that was kind of a young up and coming pitcher
• 2:48:40
  with San Diego at the time. He's one of the guys in in, in
• 2:48:43
  this. And if you look at pitching from
• 2:48:45
  the metric standpoint, nationals way better.
• 2:48:48
  It's -110 odds again, you know me on the National, this could
• 2:48:52
  be the time they, they, they bat like the Yankees.
• 2:48:55
  So we're going to take them to, to, to win the game against my
• 2:48:59
  beloved Orioles. And then the other game we're
• 2:49:01
  going to go last game of the day.
• 2:49:02
  Give me the Reds getting plus money at home.
• 2:49:06
  I actually like this pitching match up a lot.
• 2:49:07
  Brady Singer got from the Royals.
• 2:49:09
  They they acquired him from the Royals in the offseason.
• 2:49:11
  He's been a real solid pitcher for them.
• 2:49:13
  He's got a solid ERA. His fifth is actually what's
• 2:49:16
  indicating some positive regression to me.
• 2:49:19
  Guardians really don't know how to read them.
• 2:49:21
  They're a team that I just cannot get a hold on.
• 2:49:23
  I just like this plus money slide plus money at home.
• 2:49:27
  So I'm going to take the Reds at plus money, parlay that with the
• 2:49:33
  Orioles, going to be my 2 teamer, and then everything else
• 2:49:35
  you can kind of do whatever you want.
• 2:49:36
  My picks. That's kind of how I'm going to
• 2:49:37
  play my picks. And you never mentioned anything
• 2:49:40
  about the Yankees and the Mets, and thank God you didn't,
• 2:49:42
  because I don't want to get so angry at you.
• 2:49:44
  Then I have to just like hit the mute.
• 2:49:46
  He just wants a site for his bet for Kyrie Irving to be trade the
• 2:49:50
  Lakers. I want to do a whopping.
• 2:49:52
  I want to do a. Whopping.
• 2:49:54
  I actually don't think Kyrie Irving will go to like because I
• 2:49:56
  think you. Got to put your tongue on
• 2:49:57
  something. I think people don't, I think
• 2:50:00
  people underestimate LeBron didn't get along with Kyrie, to
• 2:50:05
  be honest. I think, I think Kyrie at the
• 2:50:06
  time, he was young guy. But look, he LeBron doesn't win
• 2:50:10
  that title without Kyrie. 100%. So.
• 2:50:12
  Kyrie hasn't played. Kyrie hasn't been the same
• 2:50:15
  player without LeBron. I mean it.
• 2:50:17
  They worked very, very well together.
• 2:50:19
  They did as a team as I can disagree.
• 2:50:21
  With that, I think Kyrie Irving is a baller no matter where he
• 2:50:23
  goes. He can put up points, he can
• 2:50:25
  ditch the rocket. Let me ask you a question.
• 2:50:26
  Let me ask you a question. When was the last time Kyrie
• 2:50:28
  Irving won? OK, yeah, when you when you put
• 2:50:32
  him with. That's all.
• 2:50:33
  That's what you're playing the game for.
• 2:50:35
  You're playing a win, right? And I get that, I get that.
• 2:50:37
  But I don't, I don't think it was he needed.
• 2:50:40
  It could have been another big time.
• 2:50:41
  It didn't have to be LeBron, right?
• 2:50:43
  He wasn't the best player in that series.
• 2:50:45
  It was Kyrie Irving. But but he looked at all
• 2:50:48
  Lebron's championships really, Who did he, who did, who did he
• 2:50:50
  really beat in his championships?
• 2:50:53
  Who did he beat? He didn't.
• 2:50:55
  Now you know who who, How did he win?
• 2:50:57
  He beat the. Spurs didn't.
• 2:50:58
  He didn't. He beat the Spurs.
• 2:50:59
  At 3:00. Two beat the Spurs, Tim dunking,
• 2:51:03
  Kawhi Leonard. I had all those great players
• 2:51:06
  managed Ginobili. If Ray Allen doesn't hit that
• 2:51:10
  three, he's one and three in Miami.
• 2:51:12
  OK. And he actually stepped out too,
• 2:51:14
  by the way. And then 2020, great, he had a
• 2:51:18
  COVID, the COVID year. Who who?
• 2:51:20
  Who hits the big shot? Last season, Miami.
• 2:51:21
  Heat team. The the fact.
• 2:51:25
  Is I can pinpoint. I can pinpoint a big Michael
• 2:51:28
  Jordan shot in the finals. First of all, you can't compare
• 2:51:31
  LeBron James to Michael Jordan. You can't compare Kobe Bryant to
• 2:51:35
  Michael Jordan. You can't compare any of those
• 2:51:37
  guys to Michael Jordan. That's why he's the greatest.
• 2:51:41
  No, you can't. Who?
• 2:51:44
  Kobe is not Michael Jordan. Stop this.
• 2:51:47
  Stop this. Go home and stay home.
• 2:51:49
  Hide under the covers. Are you lost?
• 2:51:52
  Are you lost? He is a close nothing.
• 2:51:55
  He is a close nothing. Shaquille O'Neal was the best.
• 2:51:58
  Shaquille O'Neal was the best player on that roster for three
• 2:52:02
  years when they won back-to-back to back championships.
• 2:52:04
  Go look at him. He was.
• 2:52:06
  I hear that. I'm sorry, but the numbers
• 2:52:09
  actually tell me Kobe Bryant had better numbers than.
• 2:52:10
  Shaq, that's not true. He had more, he had more points
• 2:52:14
  per game. He played more minutes per game.
• 2:52:16
  He he did better in that series. Shaq is £300 Shaq first of all
• 2:52:22
  Shaq played 38 minutes a game OK and he does a 300 LB monster the
• 2:52:27
  diesel and he won the MVP back-to-back to back times.
• 2:52:31
  And if you look at the Finals and remember the Finals, there's
• 2:52:33
  only two players in Finals history to score 40 and have
• 2:52:37
  almost 20 rebounds in the in back in in back-to-back Finals
• 2:52:41
  games in a series. And that was LeBron James and
• 2:52:44
  Shaquille O'Neal. And you can look that up, too.
• 2:52:46
  I could sell that, too. You can roll it up you.
• 2:52:49
  Can sell whatever you you can sell whatever.
• 2:52:50
  Hey, listen, I'll roll up a Dutch for you and you can smoke
• 2:52:52
  and get messed up on it. How's that?
• 2:52:55
  You can do that. You sell whatever you want.
• 2:52:57
  I'll, I'll yeah, I'll roll it for you.
• 2:52:58
  I'll lick it and then you can stick it as I always say.
• 2:53:02
  I I will say who has more toddlers right now?
• 2:53:04
  Is it Kobe right over shaft? Yeah, yes, yeah.
• 2:53:08
  But one. And that's because he played
• 2:53:10
  with a hell of a team. I mean, his teams were pretty
• 2:53:13
  damn good when he won it over there with the Lakers.
• 2:53:15
  And by the way, when Shaq left, when Shaq left for two years,
• 2:53:19
  did Kobe ever win? Did Kobe ever win?
• 2:53:22
  Did Kobe ever win? What was the did he?
• 2:53:26
  I just don't believe that the Laker teams are that good.
• 2:53:28
  I don't hear you. I don't.
• 2:53:30
  Hear you? Let's see, what was he, 09?
• 2:53:32
  Yeah. Did he win?
• 2:53:34
  OK, that Pau Gasol, I give you that Pau Gasol.
• 2:53:37
  That's part of the big reason why they want Phil Jackson
• 2:53:39
  obviously comes in and coaches that team.
• 2:53:42
  But I'm looking at you're going to tell me that this is their
• 2:53:45
  team. Lamar Odom who good role player
• 2:53:48
  Sasa shot Sasha Luke Walton Meta World.
• 2:53:52
  Where do you rate Kobe Bryant of the greatest Lakers of all time?
• 2:53:56
  Where do you hold on Jordan? Where do you where do you rate
• 2:54:00
  Kobe Bryant of greatest Lakers? Before we let you go, I want to
• 2:54:03
  hear it. Where do you put?
• 2:54:06
  Where do you put Kobe? He in my in my.
• 2:54:09
  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Give me where you would put Kobe
• 2:54:11
  Bryant in the greatest Lakers of all time.
• 2:54:15
  OK well let me this how I answer my question in my opinion and
• 2:54:19
  the only reason I'm going to put him up top is because I never
• 2:54:21
  really saw magic and like players before him so I can't
• 2:54:25
  put match I never saw magic. So like for me, Kobe is the
• 2:54:29
  greatest Laker of all time because I, but I never, I will
• 2:54:32
  admittedly say I never really saw Magic Johnson play.
• 2:54:35
  That's beyond my time. You forget a Kareem of duel
• 2:54:37
  Jabbar. He was pretty damn good.
• 2:54:40
  I never. Saw him play.
• 2:54:41
  It doesn't matter if you've seen a play, you, you know what he
• 2:54:44
  did, Your name? How about Jerry West?
• 2:54:47
  Was he bad? Was he a bad player?
• 2:54:49
  But it's also like when you're looking at Grace players, I look
• 2:54:52
  at what's Will Chamberlain like. Will Chamberlain was great for
• 2:54:56
  sure. As a player, I thought he was
• 2:54:58
  fantastic. When you're a foot and a half
• 2:55:01
  older, I mean taller than anybody else, I would.
• 2:55:05
  I'd put up 100 too. Like it's, it's, it's, it's kind
• 2:55:09
  of different. I don't think it's any
• 2:55:10
  different. And I'm taking and I'm taking
• 2:55:14
  Shaq over Kobe Bryant, so I'm taking Shaq.
• 2:55:18
  But that wouldn't. That wouldn't even make.
• 2:55:20
  Sense why? Why does it make sense?
• 2:55:21
  I take LeBron James over Kobe Bryant too, but not not on the
• 2:55:24
  Lakers. Not on the Lakers.
• 2:55:26
  I have, I have Kobe because Lebron's only won one title.
• 2:55:30
  So I'm going to give Kobe because he was there.
• 2:55:32
  So I I'm going to but best players of all time playing for
• 2:55:35
  the Lakers, I'm taking LeBron over Kobe.
• 2:55:39
  Greatest player Greatest players.
• 2:55:42
  Weed. Weed is legal in New York
• 2:55:43
  though, right? Oh yeah, we have a caller that
• 2:55:46
  loves to smoke weed. Yeah, I, I, I figured man, I.
• 2:55:50
  I'm not smoking. You're going to tell me.
• 2:55:52
  You're going to tell me Lebron's not better than Kobe Bryant.
• 2:55:56
  No. You're goodbye.
• 2:55:58
  I I know look, look, I think for me, no, I think for me that's
• 2:56:02
  not fair to say because you're I look at a player that's a
• 2:56:04
  killer, that's a killer instinct come on and then.
• 2:56:08
  Game. Are you?
• 2:56:09
  Are you serious? Are you serious?
• 2:56:12
  Stop. LeBron James doesn't take big
• 2:56:14
  shots. Stop.
• 2:56:16
  Now you heard me. Took it for.
• 2:56:16
  Him Did Kobe go eight years in a row to a Finals?
• 2:56:20
  Did Kobe Bryant ever go eight years in a row to the Finals?
• 2:56:25
  Can I? Did he?
• 2:56:25
  Can I? Yes or no?
• 2:56:27
  You know what? Yes or no?
• 2:56:28
  He. Played.
• 2:56:29
  It keep playing. Oh, stop this.
• 2:56:33
  Oh, stop this. He played with Shaquille O'Neal.
• 2:56:36
  He had Phil Jackson as his head coach.
• 2:56:43
  Who coached LeBron James? Who coached Give me, give me the
• 2:56:45
  greatest coaches. You remember that?
• 2:56:47
  Coach LeBron James. LeBron, LeBron don't need a
• 2:56:51
  coach, right? He and Kobe and Kobe had Phil
• 2:56:54
  Jackson, a guy that won how many championships?
• 2:56:57
  Come on. Because Kobe's a likable guy.
• 2:56:59
  He got along. Oh, he was a likable person,
• 2:57:01
  huh? He was like, why don't you ask
• 2:57:04
  Shaq if he was a likable person? The thing is, fucking LeBron
• 2:57:08
  James would have would have had Phil Jackson fired that.
• 2:57:12
  That's what I do know. I think as soon as there's a
• 2:57:15
  little bump in the road, here comes Kobe.
• 2:57:16
  We need help. We need help.
• 2:57:18
  It's the coach's fault. How many coaches he goes to
• 2:57:20
  because. If LeBron James was with the
• 2:57:23
  Knicks and when he went to the Knicks, he would have came out
• 2:57:26
  of retirement to coach LeBron James.
• 2:57:27
  And that's a fact, OK? That's the only reason why Phil
• 2:57:31
  Jackson never coached the Knicks because there was nobody to
• 2:57:33
  coach on that roster besides Carmelo Anthony, who he couldn't
• 2:57:37
  stand. OK, So those are the facts,
• 2:57:39
  buddy. And you can take that and Jack
• 2:57:42
  it right up. Pop it in that now videos.
• 2:57:44
  It's nice to tell you this is that Kobe Bryant can work with
• 2:57:48
  his coaches and LeBron James goes to.
• 2:57:50
  The only reason why coaches can work with Kobe because he was a
• 2:57:53
  hard ass worker. That's it.
• 2:57:56
  They loved his his effort on on pushing himself to the limit.
• 2:58:00
  But guess what LeBron James is the same way.
• 2:58:03
  LeBron James is in the gym in the morning at 5:00 in the
• 2:58:06
  morning working out and doing his thing.
• 2:58:07
  Why do you think LeBron James is 40 something years old and still
• 2:58:10
  putting up the numbers he's putting up?
• 2:58:12
  Why? You think it's magical?
• 2:58:15
  You think it's a magic. It's a magic show.
• 2:58:17
  Abracadabra 2 years. The last two years.
• 2:58:20
  You can't sit there and tell me last two years that LeBron James
• 2:58:22
  actually gave a shit about winning.
• 2:58:25
  He didn't give shit about when he no, no, he did not.
• 2:58:27
  He's STAB padded and he played in the NBA so he can play with
• 2:58:30
  his son. That doesn't deserve being in
• 2:58:32
  the NBA. That's the only.
• 2:58:33
  Person see my hand right here. Because he does not need to.
• 2:58:35
  Be see this you know. He doesn't.
• 2:58:36
  He does not care about women. If I can get this jammed up of
• 2:58:40
  Kobe Bryant's ass and started talking like you do to him, I
• 2:58:45
  mean, I'd be a rock star. Give me a break.
• 2:58:48
  You're in love with this guy, and I love Kobe as a.
• 2:58:51
  Person you're down 31 laughing LeBron.
• 2:58:55
  That's that's that's when you know LeBron James, he doesn't
• 2:58:57
  really care about winning right now.
• 2:58:59
  I don't fault. Him, I never said first of all.
• 2:59:02
  He's probably going to own the Vegas team when they go to
• 2:59:05
  Vegas. Yeah, he probably, he's probably
• 2:59:06
  going to be the owner. He owns the NBA, but he.
• 2:59:08
  Doesn't care about winning. He owns the NBA LeBron James
• 2:59:11
  Association. I keep telling you this.
• 2:59:14
  He owns the league. He owns everything he owns.
• 2:59:16
  Everything. He owns the league, buddy, He
• 2:59:20
  owns everything. It is lja.
• 2:59:23
  It should just be changed and you know you know the logo
• 2:59:26
  should be it should be it should transfer from Jerry West to
• 2:59:30
  LeBron James. That's.
• 2:59:31
  It because that's what it is, not keeps going down.
• 2:59:34
  Exactly, exactly, exactly. There you go.
• 2:59:37
  You can sell it, you can bench it, and you can tie it up real
• 2:59:40
  good and state it and, you know, stick it up, straight up.
• 2:59:44
  Speedy's Candy S What do you think about that?
• 2:59:47
  My ass had candy, why would you want to stick anything up?
• 2:59:49
  Anyways, Reno, Johnny, we love you.
• 2:59:51
  Keep arguing, keep loving Kobe and may you rest in peace.
• 2:59:54
  I'm not taking shots at him as a as a person.
• 2:59:57
  I just think a lot of Kobe fans overrate him as one of the top
• 3:00:01
  five greatest. I disagree.
• 3:00:05
  Five times you overrated. Yeah, that's crazy.
• 3:00:07
  That's crazy. That's crazy work.
• 3:00:09
  Good, good. I am crazy.
• 3:00:10
  That's why I'm I am who I am. So thank you, Reno.
• 3:00:14
  We love you, please, whatever. I know I I love you, I love
• 3:00:18
  y'all, I love y'all, but just the the Kobe slander.
• 3:00:20
  Listen, take, take those eggs and stick it straight up.
• 3:00:23
  Speedy's candy ass. All right, let's go.
• 3:00:25
  What's? We got a quick He's five and one
• 3:00:27
  in the finals. Who?
• 3:00:29
  Who? Kobe's five and one in the
• 3:00:30
  Finals. Yes, yeah, his.
• 3:00:31
  All I lost was the Celtics the year before.
• 3:00:33
  Yeah, it's. Crazy.
• 3:00:35
  You also had Shaquille O'Neal and Phil Jackson, Yeah.
• 3:00:38
  Crazy. Yeah, you get stopped.
• 3:00:41
  Dwyane Wade, Bosch, Kyrie. Great One of the greatest
• 3:00:44
  shooters of all time in Ray Allen, Kobe, LeBron James
• 3:00:47
  purposely stacked his teams. Yeah, it's LJI.
• 3:00:52
  We love you. Thank you.
• 3:00:53
  You know, Johnny have him every single week.
• 3:00:56
  He's saluting. I'm going to salute his shorts.
• 3:01:00
  He's out of his damn mind. I'm sorry.
• 3:01:02
  And I, Kobe, Kobe Bryant is a greater Laker than LeBron James.
• 3:01:06
  There's no question that he is. But you're going to tell me
• 3:01:09
  greatest players that played for the Laker?
• 3:01:12
  I'm sorry. LeBron James is right there
• 3:01:16
  amongst the best you. You can argue him and Magic
• 3:01:18
  Johnson and Kareem Abdul Jabbar, and then I would take Shaquille
• 3:01:21
  O'Neal over Kobe. I would really go this way.
• 3:01:23
  If you really argue it, greatest players of what they've done, I
• 3:01:27
  go LeBron James one, Magic Johnson 2, Kareem Abdul Jabbar
• 3:01:32
  3, Shaquille O'Neal four, and then Kobe Bryant 5.
• 3:01:37
  That's where I would go and and I'm sorry and I'm not taking
• 3:01:40
  shots of Kobe. Kobe's great.
• 3:01:42
  There was a lot of great Lakers. So he's right there in the top
• 3:01:45
  five, but he's not better than any one of those guys.
• 3:01:48
  I'm talking Lakers. He was.
• 3:01:50
  But players of all time in their whole careers, not a chance.
• 3:01:54
  I'm sorry, not a chance. I probably would take Tim
• 3:01:56
  Duncan. No, no, I'm talking about Lakers
• 3:01:59
  Laker players that played for the Lakers in their.
• 3:02:02
  Careers 10 players. Oh yes, yes, you know, like it
• 3:02:07
  seems like Johnny, Johnny thinks he's like automatically like a
• 3:02:09
  top five of all time guys. Johnny loves Kobe.
• 3:02:12
  He loves Kobe. Say that about Kobe.
• 3:02:14
  He loves, you know, I just feel like there's a lot of other guys
• 3:02:17
  that you have to consider also. Guys that changed the league,
• 3:02:20
  guys that changed the league. And, and I know everybody says,
• 3:02:23
  well, Steph Curry changed the league.
• 3:02:25
  I, I, I love when people say, well, Steph Curry changed the
• 3:02:27
  league for the better or the worse.
• 3:02:30
  That's all I'm going to say. Go ask the Celtics, guys.
• 3:02:33
  Let's go ask the Celtics 78 three pointers back-to-back
• 3:02:36
  games and and miss 70 something 3 pointers.
• 3:02:39
  I don't think he made it for the best.
• 3:02:41
  He's made it for the worst. Not doesn't take away how great
• 3:02:44
  Steph Curry is and what he does. I just think he's changed the
• 3:02:47
  game to make players just Chuck up threes and it doesn't make
• 3:02:50
  the game fun to watch anymore. It's like, OK, a big man could
• 3:02:53
  shoot a three. Good for you.
• 3:02:54
  So that's all I, I, I'm, I'm a little, I'm a little hurt by
• 3:02:59
  Reno because he was and I wasn't saying if you were to ask me,
• 3:03:03
  Kobe Bryant, is he one of the greatest Lakers that played just
• 3:03:07
  for the Lakers 100% him and Magic Johnson you could put on
• 3:03:11
  the top. I mean, they, they were there
• 3:03:13
  for their careers. Kareem played for Milwaukee
• 3:03:15
  before he went to the Lakers. So did Will Chamberlain.
• 3:03:18
  So did a lot of these. Jerry West didn't I mean, you
• 3:03:20
  want to put Jerry West would be 3.
• 3:03:22
  I would put him right there. Shaq played obviously for the
• 3:03:25
  Orlando Magic. I, I'm saying like Lakers their
• 3:03:28
  whole career. Absolutely, you can argue that,
• 3:03:32
  but greatest players at at their at their positions of all time.
• 3:03:37
  No, sorry, not a chance. And and I'm I'm not even going
• 3:03:41
  to sit there and argue it because it's not true.
• 3:03:43
  Anyways, let's go to our sports minute and when we come back, we
• 3:03:49
  have the NFL sack leader crying and he should be at coaching.
• 3:03:53
  So it's a definitely going to be a messy divorce.
• 3:03:56
  We have inside baseball and analytics when we come back, but
• 3:03:58
  first our sports minute with the scoops of the poops himself.
• 3:04:05
  This is the Jabba and the Mouth Sports minute.
• 3:04:10
  Alrighty then, I am back folks. Once again I am scoops 4 some
• 3:04:14
  scores here on the Sports minute.
• 3:04:16
  But first, as we always get into some NFL first business, the
• 3:04:20
  49ers have signed first round pick Mikkel Williams, the
• 3:04:23
  defensive end coming out of Georgia.
• 3:04:24
  Williams was actually selected with the 11th overall pick and
• 3:04:28
  was a second team all SEC selection in both 2023 and 2024.
• 3:04:33
  He recorded 5.0 sacks with 8.5 tackles for loss in 2024 and was
• 3:04:38
  also a part of the 2022 National Championship team with the
• 3:04:42
  Bulldogs. And of course, will help try to
• 3:04:44
  continuing that championship weighs with the 49ers.
• 3:04:47
  And in other news in the NFL, Lions defensive end Aiden
• 3:04:50
  Hutchinson is inching closer and closer to a return on the field
• 3:04:53
  now after our brutal leg injury. After breaking his tibula and
• 3:04:57
  his tibia and his fibula against the Cowboys last season,
• 3:05:00
  Hutchinson has actually participated in the Lions
• 3:05:02
  offseason activities and a video actually that surfaced last
• 3:05:06
  month of him running around on the field working out.
• 3:05:09
  It is actually making it very near for his return, but
• 3:05:13
  defensive coordinator Kelvin Shepard has not put a timeline
• 3:05:16
  on his return for when he will be returning next season.
• 3:05:20
  And to finish it off with on the hardwood over in the NBA, the
• 3:05:22
  Warriors are saying that they are not expected to shake up
• 3:05:25
  this roster team. After being eliminated 4 to 1 to
• 3:05:28
  the Timberwolves in the second round of the NBA playoffs, the
• 3:05:31
  Golden State Warriors are looking to retain key players
• 3:05:34
  such as Jonathan Kuminga, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, and of
• 3:05:38
  course, veteran point guard Steph Curry for the foreseeable
• 3:05:41
  future. And guys, make sure you are

  He was great. We had him laughing and, you

  know, we were talking about his book and we were talking about
• 3:07:57
  sausages. That Speedy is the king of all
• 3:07:59
  sausages, right, Speedy? I don't associate with monarchs.
• 3:08:02
  Well, there you go. He doesn't associate with
• 3:08:04
  monarchs, ladies and gentlemen. I do, as we all know as.
• 3:08:07
  Again, I need a gin and tonic. As we all know again go back in

• 3:08:15
  Ancient or. Something else like?
• 3:08:18
  That bagel hole. That's a bagel hole, as I always
• 3:08:21
  say. Yeah, go bring bagel holes to
• 3:08:22
  ancient society. I gotta go back off now.
• 3:08:25
  Somebody's got to whack your mutant.
• 3:08:28
  ESPN is the. Same.
• 3:08:30
  Why is Bagel Hole the funniest one?
• 3:08:32
  I don't know. I just had to tell him it was
• 3:08:34
  like bagel hole. Bagel Hole.
• 3:08:38
  The old bagel hole. Somebody got to use that bagel
• 3:08:41
  hole, right? Speedy.
• 3:08:42
  Yeah, maybe it'll be Nathan. Have you ever put your fingers
• 3:08:45
  between the bagel hole? Have you ever grabbed the bagel
• 3:08:48
  hole? OK, there we go.
• 3:08:51
  I thought you were virgin anyways.
• 3:08:52
  ESPN reports that Trey Hendrickson will not play for
• 3:08:57
  the Bengals on his current deal. He told reporters that he tried
• 3:09:02
  to take personal feelings out of their contract negotiations, but
• 3:09:05
  over time it got very personal. Hendrickson said there has still
• 3:09:11
  been a lack of communications with the Bengals this month
• 3:09:15
  after he took shots at them for their Baird April Fools joke
• 3:09:21
  last month. Hendrickson compared the
• 3:09:24
  comments he heard from the Bengals from the fun office and
• 3:09:29
  shark attacks and said he has been caught off guard on many
• 3:09:35
  occasions. He still believes the
• 3:09:37
  relationship with the team could be repaired with time, but
• 3:09:41
  called this an uncomfortable business side of football.
• 3:09:45
  Hendrickson. Hendrickson is entering his
• 3:09:47
  final year of his contract worth about $15.8 million and
• 3:09:51
  Hendrickson led the NFL with 17.5 sacks last season, 57 sacks
• 3:09:57
  since joining the Bengals in 2021.
• 3:10:00
  I, I, I feel bad for Trey Hendrickson.
• 3:10:03
  I really do, because when you look at Jamar Chase and you look
• 3:10:07
  at all the players that have got their money and they're
• 3:10:11
  sensational, Jamar Chase is one of the best wide receivers in
• 3:10:13
  the league. Last year he was T Higgins.
• 3:10:16
  He couldn't stay healthy for the last four years, really three
• 3:10:20
  years if you really look at it, the last three seasons he hasn't
• 3:10:23
  been healthy and he had last year.
• 3:10:25
  When he came back, he looked really, really good.
• 3:10:26
  Now I understand Joe Burrow is the captain.
• 3:10:29
  He is the face of the organization and he wanted T
• 3:10:32
  Higgins back, but this defense was nothing and has been nothing
• 3:10:37
  without Trey Hendrickson. He is everything to that
• 3:10:40
  defense. You could put him anywhere on
• 3:10:42
  that defensive line and he's better than any second tier
• 3:10:45
  player they have on that roster right now.
• 3:10:48
  It would bother me if I was Trey Hendrickson and I'm looking at
• 3:10:52
  myself as a player that averaged not once but twice back-to-back
• 3:10:57
  years. 17.5 sacks. I was the the leading sack guy
• 3:11:02
  last year and I still don't don't have a contract.
• 3:11:04
  I'm making 15 and a half million dollars when Miles Garrett
• 3:11:08
  wasn't better than I was. That's what I'm saying.
• 3:11:11
  I am the same age as Miles Garrett and Miles Garrett is
• 3:11:16
  making more money than me when I had a better season than he did.
• 3:11:19
  And Miles Garrett has better defensive players on a defensive
• 3:11:22
  line than Trey Hendrickson. Just think about it.
• 3:11:24
  Every team knows that Trey Hendrickson is the best player
• 3:11:28
  on that line and they still can't stop him.
• 3:11:31
  Just think about that. So it would bother me when I
• 3:11:34
  look at my roster and say, well, who's going to match what I've
• 3:11:37
  done for this defense? Who's going to match what I've
• 3:11:40
  done for this team over the last couple of years?
• 3:11:43
  As far as I'm concerned, besides Joe Burrow, Trey Hendrickson in
• 3:11:46
  the last two years has been the second most important player to
• 3:11:49
  this team. So and he's not getting paid
• 3:11:51
  that kind of money. That has something to do with
• 3:11:54
  coaching and the executives up top, the GM who obviously
• 3:11:58
  sitting back and listen to Joe Burrow.
• 3:12:00
  I love Joe and he's such a he's got such a babyface.
• 3:12:04
  I mean, his his blonde hair last season going into the season,
• 3:12:08
  great. He he stands for something and
• 3:12:10
  all the fans want to be like Joe.
• 3:12:12
  He's not Joe Montana. That's all I'm going to say.
• 3:12:15
  He is not Joe Montana because if he was, he would have won a
• 3:12:20
  championship. He did not win a championship
• 3:12:23
  when he went all the way to the the Super Bowl.
• 3:12:25
  He matter of fact lost against Matthew Stafford and the Rams.
• 3:12:30
  So and and by the way, why did they get there?
• 3:12:33
  Everybody keeps talking about what Joe Burrow did.
• 3:12:35
  Let's go ask Trey Hendrickson what he did.
• 3:12:38
  So I just, I feel so bad when you look at the picture right
• 3:12:43
  now with the Bengals and where the Bengals see Trey Hendrickson
• 3:12:47
  at, they really don't feel that he is an important piece to this
• 3:12:51
  team moving forward. He's still 30 years old.
• 3:12:54
  He's in still in somewhat of a prime of his career.
• 3:12:57
  I still think he has two, maybe 3 decent years left at his
• 3:13:01
  position. The guy is in tremendous shape.
• 3:13:04
  The guy plays practically every single game.
• 3:13:07
  I mean, he plays heard he's always out there and he's a team
• 3:13:11
  leader. Everything that you see on and
• 3:13:13
  off the field personality wise and even at the press
• 3:13:16
  conferences, he stands for everything you want as a Bengals
• 3:13:19
  organization and the Bengals organization that's been a
• 3:13:22
  laughing stock. Go look at Vonte perfect.
• 3:13:25
  Remember that guy, Remember perfect and remember what he did
• 3:13:29
  head hunting and doing the things that he did on the field.
• 3:13:33
  Go ask Antonio Brown what he thought about Vonte perfect.
• 3:13:37
  OK, he doesn't really like him and I'm sure he wasn't a big fan
• 3:13:40
  of his I there you go show the clip because I think Antonio
• 3:13:46
  Brown is, you know, brain dead because of this hits all right.
• 3:13:49
  And that was because perfect was just an absolute disgusting
• 3:13:52
  person. Trey Hendrickson doesn't go head
• 3:13:55
  hunting. He doesn't try to hurt people.
• 3:13:57
  He goes out there and plays the game right.
• 3:13:59
  And to me in in in the what, four or five seasons he's been
• 3:14:03
  there, he's been as good a defensive lineman as anybody in
• 3:14:06
  the league. And it's a shameful thing when
• 3:14:08
  you look at an organization that doesn't really look at him as a
• 3:14:12
  prized possession to what this team could be or what this team
• 3:14:16
  should be as a championship, championship competition,
• 3:14:19
  positive team. I, I also will say this, I look
• 3:14:23
  at an organization, OK. And there are positions that you
• 3:14:27
  look for to build your team around.
• 3:14:30
  And here's where I'm going to go #1 quarterback #2 offensive
• 3:14:37
  lineman #3 that's the left tackle, all right?
• 3:14:41
  Left tackle is your number two, Number three.
• 3:14:45
  You can argue it's your corner for a pass rusher.
• 3:14:49
  I'm going to go pass rusher. So you need an offensive tackle,
• 3:14:54
  a pass rusher, and then a corner and and then a wide receiver.
• 3:14:58
  And you went with wide receivers over a pass rusher.
• 3:15:04
  Does that make any sense, guys? I would say no.
• 3:15:07
  That to me tells me why the Bengals have not won a
• 3:15:11
  championship and how long. I'm sorry, never won a
• 3:15:14
  championship. That's right.
• 3:15:16
  And that's why this team will never win a championship with
• 3:15:20
  the roster they have right now. And Taylor's going to be looking
• 3:15:23
  for a job at the end of the season as well, because making
• 3:15:27
  this decision only shows you the lack of coaching for this
• 3:15:31
  organization moving forward as well.
• 3:15:33
  And it's also a lack of a sense of direction too, because we
• 3:15:35
  talked about with the Cowboys, like they just like they'll do a
• 3:15:37
  lot of the flashy moves. Jerry Jones a de facto GM and
• 3:15:40
  Mike Brown's kind of that same kind of thing.
• 3:15:42
  I know they have a president of football operations that's
• 3:15:43
  overseeing anything, but this is a very differently run team.
• 3:15:46
  When Marvin Lewis was there, the Bengals were great at drafting
• 3:15:48
  homegrown defensive player so they could be able to.
• 3:15:51
  They didn't keep them all the time.
• 3:15:52
  They were notoriously cheap, but they really build a good defense
• 3:15:54
  that way since he's since he's got.
• 3:15:56
  Yum Yum. Since he stepped away from the
• 3:15:57
  team, which, yeah, it was time. It was.
• 3:15:59
  Over. A fresh thing they outside of
• 3:16:02
  Logan Wilson and maybe Jesse Bates like those are the only
• 3:16:05
  two homegrown drafted defensive players that they've had.
• 3:16:07
  Everything else they accumulated from free agency included Trey
• 3:16:11
  Hendrickson. They let go of Carl Lawson who
• 3:16:12
  was the young pass rusher alongside Carlos Dunlap.
• 3:16:15
  He is as an injury Riddle career Trey Hendrickson is one of the.
• 3:16:18
  Most breaking news? Most durable?
• 3:16:20
  And consistently productive defensive lineman and you let
• 3:16:23
  and now you're going to let these this relationship be
• 3:16:25
  toxic. Sam Hubbard retired this
• 3:16:27
  offseason. Who?
• 3:16:28
  Was. A good second, 2nd complimentary
• 3:16:30
  piece to Hendrickson. They let go DJ Reed or the run
• 3:16:33
  defense fell off badly. Meanwhile Detroit became into
• 3:16:35
  the top ten losing that. They lost both safeties like
• 3:16:38
  they have no direction and you would think like you would see
• 3:16:41
  that with especially with all the receivers left in free
• 3:16:43
  agency. They could have gotten Amari
• 3:16:45
  Cooper for a contract to go alongside Chase and not pay T
• 3:16:48
  Higgins could have traded him in the draft.
• 3:16:50
  And then they also don't draft as good of defensive players as
• 3:16:52
  they could have fished you. And I were very skeptical with
• 3:16:54
  Stewart and Demetrius Knight in the second round was a fourth
• 3:16:58
  round talent. Like they don't really build up
• 3:17:00
  this team very well. And who says that they didn't
• 3:17:03
  aren't going to deter other defensive players this way.
• 3:17:05
  Miles Murphy was a good first round pick, but he hasn't
• 3:17:07
  developed aside the same kind of thing.
• 3:17:09
  And who says that these want to stay there in this system with
• 3:17:11
  the Bengals? I I've been skeptical of Taylor
• 3:17:14
  as a whole, but this isn't all his fault.
• 3:17:15
  This is ownership too. Wanting a flashier move when you
• 3:17:18
  don't need it. This is a team that had a good
• 3:17:20
  running. Spin on it, Speedy this.
• 3:17:22
  Was a team that had a good running game and a good tight
• 3:17:24
  end play last year. Rely on those of your second
• 3:17:25
  target and then figure out Higgins later.
• 3:17:27
  You had to pay this guy and now you're going to lose him for
• 3:17:30
  less than you would have expected.
• 3:17:32
  So The thing is they don't have to lose him.
• 3:17:34
  They still could pay him. They have enough cap room where
• 3:17:39
  they could give him like a pretty decent, you know, size
• 3:17:42
  cap hit this first year and fit him under the contract.
• 3:17:46
  But they're pinching pennies with this guy.
• 3:17:48
  I don't care. Toggles the mind.
• 3:17:50
  I don't understand. The guy had 17 1/2 sacks in each
• 3:17:55
  of the last two seasons. Not me.
• 3:17:57
  Reports that they're nitpicking that oh, it's those sacks were
• 3:18:01
  against inferior competition. You know, a lot of the times,
• 3:18:06
  well, if you're the second team all pro, everyone's inferior
• 3:18:10
  competition to you. That's how good he is.
• 3:18:14
  What are we talking about here? Obviously, you know he's not
• 3:18:17
  going to have as many sacks against all pros.
• 3:18:21
  No one is. That's just not how it works.
• 3:18:24
  And plus, who else is on that defensive line, right, that they
• 3:18:28
  had to gain? A lot of first and second round
• 3:18:29
  picks they haven't been able to develop because this
• 3:18:31
  organization doesn't want to do it clean.
• 3:18:33
  Themselves. Who gets doubled and chipped
• 3:18:35
  every single play? Trey Hendrickson.
• 3:18:38
  And you wonder why his production was down against
• 3:18:40
  certain teams when they knew all they had to do was take care of
• 3:18:44
  him. And then they can put up 40
• 3:18:46
  points against you and beat you 40 to 38.
• 3:18:48
  Because, look, you have a great offense.
• 3:18:51
  T Higgins is great. He'd be a #1 receiver on maybe,
• 3:18:54
  you know, 8 to 10 other teams in the NFL right now, right?
• 3:18:58
  Something like that. Maybe a little bit more, maybe.
• 3:19:00
  Maybe I'm being unfair to him. I don't know if I like it.
• 3:19:04
  Right around probably at least 10 right?
• 3:19:07
  So but why do you pay that and you before him, like I
• 3:19:13
  understand maybe they would have lost him if they didn't pay him.
• 3:19:16
  They could have figured it out with a franchise tag and then
• 3:19:18
  like worked on it again. Like they could have done it
• 3:19:20
  temporarily and fixed it. You just made my nipples hard
• 3:19:22
  it. Would have been super easy to do
• 3:19:24
  that. What do they have against this
• 3:19:26
  guy? And if they didn't want to keep
• 3:19:28
  Trey Hendrickson, why not trade him before the draft?
• 3:19:31
  Pulled it out of my ass. So they really think
• 3:19:35
  Hendrickson's just going to come back.
• 3:19:37
  We were talking about them being traded last draft.
• 3:19:39
  At night started. He says he's not playing on this
• 3:19:43
  contract no matter what. And it's going to be a staring
• 3:19:46
  contest between a guy who doesn't, you know, he's the
• 3:19:49
  captain of the defense, one of the captains of the defense and
• 3:19:52
  doesn't want to give up on his team.
• 3:19:54
  And they're going to put him in a situation where he may not get
• 3:19:58
  paid going forwards like a lot of people do, and he has to risk
• 3:20:04
  getting hurt. And we've seen this go wrong for
• 3:20:06
  a lot of people and the team is pretty messed up.
• 3:20:10
  For kind of putting him out there is like a lame duck year
• 3:20:12
  in his contract. I also think that when when you
• 3:20:15
  look at the Bengals in the division that they're in,
• 3:20:17
  they're in a very tough division.
• 3:20:19
  And even though Pittsburgh's going to be looking for their
• 3:20:21
  quarterback, it looks like it's going to be Aaron Rodgers.
• 3:20:23
  Pittsburgh still absolutely loaded when it comes to their
• 3:20:26
  defense. They they did lose George
• 3:20:29
  Pickens, but it doesn't really matter.
• 3:20:31
  They're always a good defensive team.
• 3:20:32
  They're always going to be able to compete.
• 3:20:34
  Even the Browns with the roster that they have, even the guys
• 3:20:37
  that they drafted this year, they had a very good draft.
• 3:20:40
  I mean, they added a great defensive lineman and Graham,
• 3:20:43
  you put him obviously with Miles Garrett on that defensive line,
• 3:20:46
  that's going to be scary. And then they're even though I
• 3:20:50
  don't know who's going to be their quarterback and hopefully
• 3:20:52
  it's not Mr. Charlie Rod himself.
• 3:20:55
  And if it is, he's going to be throwing from the fifth round
• 3:20:58
  and probably going to the 6th or 7th, if you know what I mean.
• 3:21:01
  I just think that right now they're in a division that's
• 3:21:04
  very tough. The Baltimore Ravens are by far
• 3:21:06
  the best team in that division and and they're they're going to
• 3:21:09
  be searching. And I just don't know if this is
• 3:21:12
  a smart move by the Bengals when they're trying to compete with
• 3:21:15
  those teams that are still going to be able to throw against
• 3:21:18
  them. Just think about it.
• 3:21:19
  You think the Ravens aren't going to be able to throw
• 3:21:20
  against that defense? They don't stand a chance
• 3:21:22
  against the Ravens. Who's going to stop, by the way,
• 3:21:24
  who's going to try to catch Lamar Jackson on that defensive
• 3:21:27
  line? Nobody.
• 3:21:29
  OK. And then you look at the
• 3:21:31
  Pittsburgh Steelers, you look at that, what they're capable of
• 3:21:33
  doing if they could dominate Joe Burrow and keep Joe Burrow from
• 3:21:37
  throwing the ball. How the hell I'm going to repeat
• 3:21:40
  how they going to stop the Pittsburgh Steelers if Aaron
• 3:21:43
  Rodgers is there? They've got a running game.
• 3:21:46
  They got everything. What are they going to do over
• 3:21:48
  there against Pittsburgh? They are to me.
• 3:21:50
  If they don't bring Trey Hendrickson back, they don't
• 3:21:53
  even. They're not even the second or
• 3:21:55
  third best team they might be. They might just be as bad as the
• 3:21:58
  Browns. OK, that's crazy to say that.
• 3:22:01
  They might just be as bad as the Browns because at least the
• 3:22:03
  Browns have defense and they got guys that can go after you.
• 3:22:06
  The Browns are going to keep it close.
• 3:22:08
  And you know, the Browns cause havoc to Joe Burrow.
• 3:22:12
  Joe Burrow has problems against the Browns every single year.
• 3:22:15
  He has problems against Pittsburgh, and he has problems
• 3:22:17
  against the Ravens. And now you don't have defense
• 3:22:20
  that's going to be able to stop their best players.
• 3:22:22
  Oh, boy, this might be a long, long season.
• 3:22:25
  And by the way, what did the Bengals do in the draft this
• 3:22:28
  year? What did they do?
• 3:22:30
  Did they did they help out after the whole Trey Hendrickson
• 3:22:35
  thing? No, they did nothing to help
• 3:22:38
  out. What they what they're doing to
• 3:22:40
  Trey Hendrickson right now? I, I just think I would have
• 3:22:43
  jumped. I would have moved up.
• 3:22:44
  I would have gotten Graham. I would have done whatever I
• 3:22:47
  could to get a great that maybe Abdul Carter, maybe move up at
• 3:22:51
  #2 and get Abdul. Karter.
• 3:22:52
  His replacement, Errol. They think they're going to
• 3:22:55
  replace 35 sacks in the last two years, 17 1/2 in each season
• 3:23:00
  with a guy who had 1 1/2 sacks in each of the last three
• 3:23:04
  seasons in Texas A&M. That's their plan.
• 3:23:10
  Legitimately, that's their plan. They better hope the two they
• 3:23:14
  drafted in the other other years are going to hit because that's
• 3:23:16
  the philosophy you're going on. But they haven't hit.
• 3:23:18
  There's two home grown players since Marvin Lewis has retired,
• 3:23:21
  Jesse Bates and Logan Wilson that have been good everyone.
• 3:23:23
  Else is free agents. You better hope he's the best
• 3:23:26
  player against the run anyone's ever seen, ever.
• 3:23:30
  Well, pretty much. It's, it's not a good sign if
• 3:23:33
  you're a Bengals fan and you shouldn't be happy that your
• 3:23:35
  best defensive player is not very happy with your
• 3:23:38
  organization. And, and saying that it's going
• 3:23:40
  to take a lot for this to be repaired.
• 3:23:42
  I, I don't think it's going to be repaired.
• 3:23:44
  They're going to have to move him and they're going to have to
• 3:23:47
  be lucky to find somebody either in free agency or somebody that
• 3:23:51
  gets dropped during OTAs because they're not getting along with
• 3:23:55
  teammates or maybe they don't think they don't.
• 3:23:57
  The Eagles are loaded. They're loaded.
• 3:24:00
  So maybe the Eagles decide, hey, this guy doesn't fit nor we want
• 3:24:04
  to go a different route and and they drop one of their mediocre
• 3:24:08
  players and maybe they add him, add one of those guys to the the
• 3:24:12
  Bengals defensive line. Because they got to get really,
• 3:24:15
  really lucky if if Trey Hendrickson decides to part ways
• 3:24:19
  and they decide to even move him.
• 3:24:21
  And I don't know if they can move him because he's a free
• 3:24:23
  agent, right? He's after this year, he's a
• 3:24:24
  free agent. That's why it made.
• 3:24:25
  Oh, so they can. They can trade.
• 3:24:27
  Him, they could. They could trade him, but they
• 3:24:29
  could they should have traded him.
• 3:24:30
  At the draft Fish, we talked about how the edge rushers were
• 3:24:32
  falling to like one of those teams that maybe missed out and
• 3:24:35
  maybe didn't take an edge rusher.
• 3:24:36
  You couldn't have got to the back end of the first round.
• 3:24:37
  I know Jamie Lee wanted one for his Packers, the Packers with
• 3:24:40
  the team. I was saying.
• 3:24:40
  When you're not getting a first round draft pick for
• 3:24:42
  Hendrickson. They could have at the time, and
• 3:24:44
  now they let this get ugly, so now they're not going so.
• 3:24:46
  It's you're not getting a first round pick for.
• 3:24:48
  A second round. A second round you could.
• 3:24:51
  But you could get a second and maybe like a fifth or something
• 3:24:54
  like that. And there's a lot of value in
• 3:24:56
  that, you know, to teams that draft intelligently, unlike the
• 3:25:00
  Bengals. I I still can't believe they
• 3:25:03
  went with the project to to replace a proven commodity.
• 3:25:08
  I just don't understand that. Or do they really?
• 3:25:11
  Are they really just that cheap and just that brutal of an
• 3:25:16
  ownership? Well, they're not cheap.
• 3:25:17
  Look what they gave Jamar Chase and T Agans.
• 3:25:20
  Not cheap. But why are they pinching
• 3:25:21
  pennies with this guy when they still have cap room to fit them
• 3:25:25
  in? They could.
• 3:25:25
  You know they don't have to put the whole cap charge in the
• 3:25:27
  first year right? Like it's very easy to
• 3:25:31
  manipulate that and I don't understand why they're not doing
• 3:25:34
  that's why team signed guys to extensions in the 1st place to
• 3:25:37
  manipulate that cap room in that first year.
• 3:25:40
  Are you telling me you can't fit this guy into your roster or
• 3:25:44
  you're just going to play it down, You're just going to do a
• 3:25:45
  showdown with him because you in well, you just figure he's not
• 3:25:49
  going to be good after this year or maybe he's a little overrated
• 3:25:53
  because stat sacks don't you know, tell the whole story.
• 3:25:56
  Well, maybe second team All Pro tells the whole story.
• 3:25:59
  Who says this is the only play that's going to happen, too?
• 3:26:01
  There's other veterans that were frustrated with the contracts,
• 3:26:03
  too. It's going to be a whole ripple
• 3:26:04
  effect. All right, boys.
• 3:26:06
  So we got to move on, as we call this, inside baseball.
• 3:26:10
  Now let's go deep, deep inside what I am exciting.
• 3:26:15
  This is inside baseball all. Right.
• 3:26:20
  Who's that sexy guy with the pink on Speedy?
• 3:26:22
  Who's that? Who's that?
• 3:26:25
  Let me look in the crowd. See.
• 3:26:26
  You idiot. So guys, we are doing inside
• 3:26:31
  baseball this. Is I need a genuine tonic?
• 3:26:35
  For baseball stories of the week, and we're gonna start off
• 3:26:39
  with the big, big story that broke almost added in nowhere.
• 3:26:43
  I was actually on the phone with Errol when it broke.
• 3:26:44
  Yep, Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson and the entire eight men
• 3:26:51
  out have been. If you've ever seen the movie or
• 3:26:53
  you know a story about the Black Sox Scandal 1919, we're all
• 3:26:58
  reinstated to be eligible for the Hall of Fame on Tuesday.
• 3:27:04
  Field of Dreams, baby. Field of Dreams.
• 3:27:06
  The Field of Dreams, obviously. You know, famous movie about
• 3:27:10
  Shoeless Joe Jackson. It's one of my favorite movies
• 3:27:12
  of all time. Personal.
• 3:27:14
  Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones. Fantastic.
• 3:27:17
  It's hard. It's I found it very hard for a
• 3:27:20
  long time not to tear up watching the end of that movie.
• 3:27:23
  I think it's one of the best endings of any movie ever.
• 3:27:26
  But that aside, this was never supposed to happen.
• 3:27:30
  Never ever supposed to happen. There's a bunch of reasons that
• 3:27:34
  made that happen. We're not going to get into that
• 3:27:35
  specifically. But now there's a whole bunch to
• 3:27:38
  talk about. And if they get in this year,
• 3:27:41
  and we know Shoeless Joe is probably is, is the big name for
• 3:27:45
  that. But there were other, a couple
• 3:27:46
  of other guys, I believe Jabba that were also borderline Hall
• 3:27:49
  of farmers as well on that in that group.
• 3:27:52
  They were a World Series team, after all.
• 3:27:54
  So guys, what do you think? Let's start off with what do you
• 3:27:57
  think about? I mean, we talked about it a
• 3:27:59
  bunch. Of times on the show.
• 3:28:00
  Pete Rose. Pete Rose should have been a
• 3:28:03
  Hall of Famer. Pete Rose should have been a
• 3:28:05
  Hall of Famer 40 years ago. OK, it's pathetic baseball.
• 3:28:09
  I understand. He bet on baseball.
• 3:28:11
  So did Che Otani, and he's still playing in the league.
• 3:28:14
  OK, I don't want to hear it. This guy was to me, I wasn't
• 3:28:17
  alive to watch him. I I watched Ichiro Suzuki.
• 3:28:20
  But you can argue this guy is the greatest hitter of all time.
• 3:28:24
  4000 hits. He just dominated at the plate.
• 3:28:26
  He averaged almost two hits every single game.
• 3:28:29
  The guy's a special player. Now, what he does on and off the
• 3:28:32
  field, I don't know. What he does on and off the
• 3:28:34
  field has nothing to do with this game on the field.
• 3:28:37
  The fact that he's not in the Hall of Fame is despicable
• 3:28:39
  baseball. Bud Selig should be ashamed of
• 3:28:41
  himself. How about George Steinbrenner?
• 3:28:43
  When is he going into the Hall of Fame?
• 3:28:44
  I know Bud Selig sitting pretty right there after the whole
• 3:28:47
  steroid era. I Shoeless Joe absolutely should
• 3:28:51
  be in the Hall of Fame. It doesn't make any sense.
• 3:28:54
  Now obviously is another one that was a part of that scandal.
• 3:28:57
  I understand they made a movie about it.
• 3:29:00
  All these guys, no matter what they did in the past, they were
• 3:29:04
  important parts of baseball at some point of their career.
• 3:29:08
  Three years they were. He was shoeless show could be
• 3:29:11
  arguably one of the greatest center fielders of all time.
• 3:29:15
  People don't know. Kids don't know because guess
• 3:29:16
  what? He's not in the Hall of Fame.
• 3:29:18
  So he deserves to be there. And I absolutely believe the one
• 3:29:23
  and only Pete Roche believe should be there and so many
• 3:29:25
  other people that a lot of people have held them back from
• 3:29:29
  it. How about Jeff Kent now?
• 3:29:30
  He has nothing to do with it. Why isn't Jeff Kent in the Hall
• 3:29:33
  of Fame pulling multiple positions?
• 3:29:35
  He's one of the greatest second base, second baseman's we ever
• 3:29:39
  seen. Power wise, can hit, can do
• 3:29:41
  everything. Why?
• 3:29:42
  Because he's got a big mouth and he's got something to say.
• 3:29:44
  So does everybody else. I'm sorry, I had.
• 3:29:49
  To do that, yeah. It's the crazy part is I don't
• 3:29:53
  know if you really delved into this because this won't go to
• 3:29:57
  vote till December of 27th. Yep.
• 3:30:00
  So the, the Hall of Fame committee, so they would
• 3:30:02
  actually the first time that they would be eligible to go in
• 3:30:05
  is they would be in the 28th Hall of Fame committee, whatever
• 3:30:10
  it is. So they, they wouldn't even go
• 3:30:12
  in now, which which is really interesting because why, why are
• 3:30:15
  you waiting this long if you just basically overturned all of
• 3:30:19
  this and you're delaying the inevitable because the
• 3:30:22
  committee, because you got to get 12 out of 16 votes.
• 3:30:27
  And why is it, why are we waiting literally over 2 years
• 3:30:32
  as you just announced it and we're not even in December yet?
• 3:30:36
  Is is it's a no, it's a no brainer.
• 3:30:39
  It really is. I mean, there's, I wouldn't say
• 3:30:42
  all that because there's 17 total guys that got reinstated
• 3:30:46
  and I just think they'll, they'll probably more than a, a
• 3:30:51
  handful. I wouldn't say we're going to
• 3:30:53
  get in the double digits, but we're probably going to be, I
• 3:30:56
  would say in the 6:00-ish range based upon the names obviously
• 3:31:02
  that were on that list, 22, obviously that should be in
• 3:31:07
  anyways, without a doubt. Pete did have a chance to get
• 3:31:13
  in. He he had a meeting and and he
• 3:31:17
  literally said the same thing. So he kind of put himself back
• 3:31:20
  into a corner of not being reinstated at the time when he
• 3:31:23
  had that conversation. And this was this was some years
• 3:31:26
  ago. But with that being said, he did
• 3:31:29
  it when he was a manager. He wasn't a player.
• 3:31:31
  And you know, Shoeless Joe and and obviously that's one of my
• 3:31:36
  favorite movies too. If you guys haven't seen it yet,
• 3:31:39
  check that movie out. So those two for sure.
• 3:31:43
  And I think they'll be about 3 or 4 more others.
• 3:31:45
  But this was long time overdue. I think this should have been
• 3:31:49
  done a long time ago. I.
• 3:31:50
  Think by the way, I'm sorry to cut you off.
• 3:31:52
  I think Barry Bonds should be getting to be put back on that
• 3:31:55
  list. Roger Clemens, all those guys
• 3:31:58
  that did steroids. OK, so that's my point though.
• 3:32:01
  If they're doing this for guys that were, you know, banned now,
• 3:32:05
  So now do they go back? Because we've obviously we've
• 3:32:08
  had this conversation before and everybody has baseball fans and
• 3:32:11
  baseball people. It's like, OK, the Mitchell
• 3:32:13
  report came out Valco, all the other stuff.
• 3:32:16
  There are gentlemen that were admitted on that report that are
• 3:32:20
  in the Hall of faith. So do they do they create
• 3:32:24
  another list where it's like, OK, the the steroid era with
• 3:32:30
  Bonds Clemens, you know, Alex Rodriguez, I love Andy Pettitte.
• 3:32:34
  He said one time that he did it a rod you got.
• 3:32:38
  And then there's other there's a handful of guys that was Sammy
• 3:32:43
  Sosa and Mark McGwire, Hall of Farmers before steroids.
• 3:32:45
  No was Barry Bonds a Hall of Famer before steroids?
• 3:32:49
  Yes. Was Rodger Clemens.
• 3:32:51
  Yes. Was Andy Pettitte and who admit
• 3:32:54
  and of all people that I have gotten to know, and I'm talking
• 3:32:58
  about in general life and professional life.
• 3:33:02
  That said, he did it once. I firmly, truly, genuinely
• 3:33:06
  believe that. And he was coming back of an
• 3:33:09
  elbow injury and obviously really close friends with Roger
• 3:33:12
  at the time. And that kind of obviously fell
• 3:33:15
  apart based upon things that transpired.
• 3:33:18
  But that's neither here nor there.
• 3:33:19
  But this should have been done a long time ago.
• 3:33:22
  And when it came out, I was thinking to myself, so do you
• 3:33:25
  create another, I guess we call it a category or what have you,
• 3:33:31
  where now it's like, OK, we have to do this for the steroid era
• 3:33:36
  and these guys that got in and do we take that into account?
• 3:33:39
  So that'll be interesting to see how that happens.
• 3:33:41
  Obviously, they added the committee vote, like Lee Smith
• 3:33:45
  not getting in, being one of the first guys to get over 400 saves
• 3:33:49
  and then having to get in on committee vote.
• 3:33:51
  I don't know how they feel about that.
• 3:33:52
  Obviously not being voted in by the writers, which who gives a
• 3:33:55
  shit honestly. So I, it'll be interesting to
• 3:33:59
  see how this will transpire or if it'll move forward to those
• 3:34:03
  guys that are deserving to be it, that are basically, we can
• 3:34:07
  kind of use a social media term like shadow band of like, oh,
• 3:34:10
  just because you did this, you're not in when these, some
• 3:34:14
  of the guys were hall of farmers before that era even.
• 3:34:19
  And how about George Steinbrenner?
• 3:34:20
  When? When's he going in?
• 3:34:22
  I don't understand how a guy like that who saved they hold.
• 3:34:26
  It against him for what he did with Winfield.
• 3:34:29
  Well, guess what? He did a lot more.
• 3:34:31
  Than just giving him the biggest contractor.
• 3:34:34
  And by the way, if you ask and if you ask Dave Winfield and by
• 3:34:38
  the way, if you know the story, when when Steinbrenner was on
• 3:34:42
  his deathbed, who went to visit him, who was there at his bed
• 3:34:46
  when he was practically almost dead, It was Dave Winfield.
• 3:34:51
  So Dave Winfield actually came out.
• 3:34:53
  He was one of the guys, him and Reggie Jackson were two of the
• 3:34:55
  last people that got a chance to say goodbye to George
• 3:34:59
  Steinbrenner. So what does that tell you about
• 3:35:00
  George Steinbrenner and how close he was with the players
• 3:35:03
  after everything happened? So I I think it's despicable,
• 3:35:07
  but ceiling why is he in all? Of you.
• 3:35:09
  I just think they always have held that against him.
• 3:35:11
  They suspended him. It wasn't like he was contrite
• 3:35:14
  about it. You know, it's, it's just
• 3:35:17
  something I think and Speedy, I don't know if you, I mean,
• 3:35:20
  you're more of our analytics guy.
• 3:35:22
  You ever look at Shoeless Joe's stats?
• 3:35:26
  I think I did at the time of the movie.
• 3:35:27
  I don't think I have since then, but yeah, it definitely.
• 3:35:30
  Stupid. It definitely is Hall of Fame
• 3:35:33
  worth it. And again, it's a sport full of
• 3:35:37
  controversy as it is, so you can't nitpick on certain
• 3:35:40
  controversies and make it seem like it's a big deal.
• 3:35:43
  Because I obviously you, if you watch the movie, you could tell
• 3:35:46
  there were there were some pictures that were in on it.
• 3:35:47
  There were some position players that were obviously tanking.
• 3:35:50
  If they're part of the scheme, OK, that's different.
• 3:35:52
  But there's some that we're actually trying to hide it
• 3:35:53
  because it was mostly ownership driven.
• 3:35:55
  So I like Jabba was saying might be 4 or five of those guys,
• 3:35:58
  especially including Shoeless Joe Jackson should get into
• 3:36:00
  that. I am a legend.
• 3:36:01
  And now with P Rose, especially now that MLB is advocating for
• 3:36:06
  betting sites, I mean, any people can bet on baseball in
• 3:36:08
  certain states that are legal with it now.
• 3:36:10
  Like you can't all of a sudden just take five years where Pete
• 3:36:14
  Rose, oh, now we're discussing Hall of Fame eligibility and
• 3:36:17
  then two months later he passes away.
• 3:36:18
  So and then all of a sudden they're accepting of the family
• 3:36:22
  members talking to him. It's just a really bad process.
• 3:36:25
  It's a hypocritical league that it's always been going through.
• 3:36:27
  We've talked about it with the organization, the Hall of Fame
• 3:36:29
  organization all the time too. And it's just a sport full of
• 3:36:32
  controversy. Like it's part of your history.
• 3:36:36
  Well, not, not only did they talk to him, they like sent
• 3:36:39
  letters and, and did a bunch of other stuff.
• 3:36:41
  And I just, I think he kind of made his, his own bed and was
• 3:36:46
  stuck in his own way, which kind of, I think kind of detoured it
• 3:36:50
  a little bit based upon what I know and from experience and
• 3:36:54
  talking to guys that had some inside knowledge on it.
• 3:36:58
  But when it comes down to it, I think what happens too, because
• 3:37:04
  there is such a humanistic vote on these things that some people
• 3:37:10
  take that into effect where it's like you see some of these guys
• 3:37:14
  not getting 100% votes that are our first ballot Hall of
• 3:37:18
  farmers. And we've only.
• 3:37:20
  And if you think about all the amazing players we've had that
• 3:37:24
  are first ballot no brainers. And we've had one and we got
• 3:37:30
  idiots that are still out here like, oh, I didn't vote for
• 3:37:32
  Derek Jeter because I thought he was already in.
• 3:37:37
  Ichiro doesn't get 100%. I mean, guys that 100% played in
• 3:37:42
  the era that didn't even come close to, you know, 95%.
• 3:37:47
  And when you get that human dynamic into it, I think that
• 3:37:52
  really plays a part in certain things because they can't put
• 3:37:56
  that other stuff aside and just be like, hey, let me
• 3:37:58
  specifically look at numbers and what those are.
• 3:38:01
  And like I said, it'll be interesting to see if they, if
• 3:38:05
  this gets legs on the other side of like, OK, now I 100% agree.
• 3:38:12
  Shut up, shut up. Butt plug bagel hole.
• 3:38:21
  Butt plug bagel hole. Is a great punk rock band name.
• 3:38:25
  Yum, Yum. Yeah.
• 3:38:26
  So it it'll be. It'll be interesting to see and
• 3:38:30
  I just hate why. Why are they waiting so long?
• 3:38:34
  Yeah, it's. Interesting, why are they
• 3:38:35
  waiting till the committee meets?
• 3:38:38
  Like you're act like you got you've already created the
• 3:38:41
  committee, they already know it. This already got approved.
• 3:38:45
  Why are you waiting 2 1/2 years? A lot of hot ladies.
• 3:38:50
  The 28 Hall of Fame class I that that that doesn't make sense.
• 3:38:55
  This makes sense to me that they reinstated it, but it doesn't
• 3:38:58
  make sense to me that they're waiting till 2027.
• 3:39:00
  Interesting. All right, let's move on to our
• 3:39:05
  the captain of the New York Yankees judge 43 games through
• 3:39:11
  the season. Here's the stats. 412 batting
• 3:39:15
  average, 15 home runs to lead Major League Baseball.
• 3:39:19
  Obviously 412 leads to the league as well. 40 runs, 41 RB
• 3:39:24
  is an OPS of 1.279, a four point O war with 43 games.
• 3:39:31
  So he's on pace for like just like around 15 plus war and he's
• 3:39:35
  got a WRC plus of 252. Barry Bonds 244 is the all time
• 3:39:41
  record at the end of the season. It's hard to even put into words
• 3:39:47
  at this point, but I guess let's let's all try in a different
• 3:39:51
  way. So Speedy, I'm going to go
• 3:39:53
  backwards. I want you to tell me what is
• 3:39:55
  the most impressive stat you think.
• 3:39:58
  You're asking a Met fan. All the.
• 3:40:03
  Stats. It has to be the WRC because
• 3:40:07
  that's supposed to be like everyone's saying, oh, the
• 3:40:10
  Yankees get away with stuff because they hit in Yankee
• 3:40:12
  Stadium. Meanwhile, that's supposed to
• 3:40:13
  neutralize the ballparks. That's supposed to neutralize
• 3:40:16
  like the most consistent league factors to go along with it.
• 3:40:19
  If you're saying Barry Bonds is 244 of a single season, is the
• 3:40:22
  all time record and probably similar to some great hitters
• 3:40:26
  career numbers, 20 points up, 30 points up from that, like that
• 3:40:30
  has to be the most impressive one.
• 3:40:32
  Obviously the WAR is going to fluctuate over the time of the
• 3:40:34
  year. When Ryan Spader has been on our
• 3:40:36
  show, he's discussed that. Sometimes they change the way
• 3:40:38
  the metrics work with that, but WRC is going to be a constant
• 3:40:41
  thing. Any type of plus stat is always
• 3:40:44
  a big boost to any top end player like that.
• 3:40:49
  Errol, what do you think he finishes at this year?
• 3:40:52
  I want him to finish at 400. Everybody has said that nobody
• 3:40:56
  since Ted Williams will ever end up with 400 or more at, at the
• 3:41:00
  batting average, but he's doing something that we haven't seen
• 3:41:03
  in a very, very long time. I I think it's very, it's
• 3:41:06
  incredible and you can pick any stat, every single stat on that
• 3:41:10
  list. He's he's definitely the Triple
• 3:41:12
  Crown winner. If it continues moving forward
• 3:41:14
  with the numbers that he has, it's incredible because me and
• 3:41:17
  Jabba, what was it a couple of months ago arguing who's the
• 3:41:20
  best player right now in baseball?
• 3:41:22
  He had Otani and I had Judge. I don't think there's an
• 3:41:25
  argument right now on what Aaron Judge is doing over the last
• 3:41:28
  three years, comparison to Otani, who's been one of the
• 3:41:31
  best players in the league. If you compare all these guys
• 3:41:34
  numbers, the top players, even Mike Trout over the last 10
• 3:41:37
  years, nobody's done with Aaron Judge has done in the last three
• 3:41:40
  years. It's it's incredible what he's
• 3:41:42
  putting up right now and he's clean.
• 3:41:44
  As far as what we know, he's clean.
• 3:41:46
  He's a clean player. So he's big, 6 foot 85 tool
• 3:41:50
  player, a guy that didn't get called up by the New York
• 3:41:53
  Yankees until he was 2425 years old and now didn't take them the
• 3:41:57
  most money he could. He could have taken $500
• 3:42:00
  million. He is by far better than Juan
• 3:42:03
  Soto or any of these, these guys that got the money that they
• 3:42:06
  got, even Shay Otani, but he took less.
• 3:42:08
  He took 300 and what, 89 or $390,000,000 to stay with the
• 3:42:13
  Yankees because he wants to be a Yankee.
• 3:42:15
  He wants to win with the Yankees.
• 3:42:17
  It's an incredible story. He's a great kid and I've never
• 3:42:22
  met him, but anybody that's told me who's met him, even Nick
• 3:42:25
  Goody tells me not only is he a good kid, he stands for what you
• 3:42:30
  want a Yankee to stand for as a captain, as a face of baseball.
• 3:42:33
  He's everything you want and and that's what you expect from a
• 3:42:37
  captain of arguably the greatest franchise in in professional
• 3:42:40
  sports history. I love it.
• 3:42:42
  He's such a he's, he's such a Good Samaritan too.
• 3:42:45
  I love what he's doing right now for baseball and it get it has
• 3:42:48
  your eyes locked in win or lose with the New York Yankees is
• 3:42:52
  what is Aaron Judge putting up every single game.
• 3:42:55
  So it's fun to watch. Jabba what?
• 3:42:59
  What's it like to play with somebody who's on a heater like
• 3:43:03
  this? Like obviously this is historic
• 3:43:06
  what he's doing, but like when a guy's getting like going, just
• 3:43:09
  like everything drops in. Everything's like a great barrel
• 3:43:14
  on it up or on the other side of the mound, you know, just you're
• 3:43:18
  hitting your spots every single time.
• 3:43:20
  There's so much movement. It's like you surprising
• 3:43:22
  yourself, like when you play with someone like that or I
• 3:43:25
  mean, when you've had those times as well.
• 3:43:28
  But like when someone's on a heater, like what's it like
• 3:43:30
  being around them? What's it like, you know, when
• 3:43:33
  you're like with that? And you know, how did people
• 3:43:35
  treat you in those situations? You just let them go.
• 3:43:39
  You don't really do anything. You kind of just let him because
• 3:43:45
  obviously whatever they're doing work in.
• 3:43:47
  If you know, he decided to eat a peanut butter and spam sandwich,
• 3:43:51
  you get it to him every day. Like you just don't, you don't
• 3:43:54
  change it up. And you as a player and baseball
• 3:43:56
  players are superstitious as it comes that they, you know, they
• 3:44:01
  eat the same thing. They do the same thing and it's
• 3:44:04
  just so fun to watch because you just you expend it.
• 3:44:09
  It's weird because you then expect like them to always get a
• 3:44:12
  hit come through and like when you then you're surprised.
• 3:44:15
  Usually it's the other way around.
• 3:44:17
  But I think what's more impressive too is like obviously
• 3:44:20
  almost two months into the season still be hitting over
• 3:44:22
  400, which is impressive, is WRC, which has now become a huge
• 3:44:28
  conglomerate in the game of baseball.
• 3:44:30
  But if you look at his last 62 or 162 games, he's hitting over
• 3:44:34
  360 with 65 homers and over 140 RBI's.
• 3:44:38
  And just to carry that over and, and continue to, and it wasn't
• 3:44:44
  like it was just one year. It's like, you know, he had an
• 3:44:48
  offseason and then he gets in his own head or, you know, so
• 3:44:51
  many things can happen, right? And for him to just continue to
• 3:44:56
  do it. I I think what the most
• 3:44:57
  impressive thing is, is how he handles himself first and
• 3:45:01
  foremost with all the attention. And I think it's almost, I think
• 3:45:06
  he's like the second or third longest to carry a 400 plus
• 3:45:10
  batting average to start a season.
• 3:45:12
  And do I think it's realistic to hit 400?
• 3:45:17
  No. Do I think he'll get close?
• 3:45:23
  He'll be He'll end the year at 360.
• 3:45:27
  Ish. If he continues the way that
• 3:45:30
  he's going, but then it just also there's.
• 3:45:33
  If he does that, it's the greatest, one of the greatest
• 3:45:35
  seasons of all time if he does that.
• 3:45:37
  Yeah, and it depends. I I had this argument with, with
• 3:45:39
  all the fans and, and stuff on X Twitter, whatever you guys call
• 3:45:43
  it. And it was like, what's his
• 3:45:45
  number? Because when he hit 62, I
• 3:45:48
  predicted it. And you know, we had that
• 3:45:51
  conversation because I was like, realistically, what do you think
• 3:45:53
  you got? Like, is he going to continue
• 3:45:56
  this pace? Is he going and and everybody
• 3:45:59
  goes through slumps. Nobody is going to if he if he
• 3:46:03
  does this all year and hits four O 8 with 65 and 100 and it's
• 3:46:07
  it's the greatest season ever. But is that realistic?
• 3:46:10
  No, it's not. And you know, he's he's going to
• 3:46:14
  get his strikeouts. He's had three strikeout games
• 3:46:17
  and you know, his average felt like 380, but then he goes 3 for
• 3:46:20
  four. He goes 3 for three and he's
• 3:46:23
  just, he hasn't fell into that like slump he's had.
• 3:46:28
  He's had some off games, but what he's been, and this is one
• 3:46:33
  thing why he didn't get up as early as a lot of people thought
• 3:46:37
  he would was because his plate's on discipline and the things
• 3:46:41
  that he was doing. But he's become such a better
• 3:46:43
  hitter and he's 33 years old right now and he's continually
• 3:46:47
  got better. Hey Jabba, do you know what his
• 3:46:49
  strikeout percentage is this year?
• 3:46:51
  It's his best ever, by a lot. That's that's that was exactly
• 3:46:55
  my point is like he can one. Percent.
• 3:46:57
  This yeah. And he continues to get better
• 3:47:00
  with his strike zone discipline of not swinging balls out of the
• 3:47:03
  zone. And you know, it's just tough.
• 3:47:06
  He's he's going to, he's going to get the Barry Bonds
• 3:47:08
  treatment. And I remember a great story.
• 3:47:12
  I can't remember who was telling it, but he got like 8 pitches to
• 3:47:15
  hit and got walked like 7 time, intentionally walked seven times
• 3:47:20
  and he hit five home runs and he literally got like 7 or 8
• 3:47:23
  pitches to hit. And so he's going to get, he's
• 3:47:26
  going to start getting that treatment and he's not going to
• 3:47:29
  miss him. And he hasn't been missing him.
• 3:47:31
  And I think that's just a kudos to him in understanding parts of
• 3:47:35
  his game where as he's gotten older, he's gotten better.
• 3:47:41
  And I I understand early on in your career where you know, not
• 3:47:44
  a lot of people know you and you know, you have those hot years.
• 3:47:47
  But I'm so impressed with him, not only from and and I didn't
• 3:47:52
  get to know him. I actually was fortunate enough
• 3:47:54
  when I was rehabbing my elbow, one of my rehab guys was
• 3:47:58
  actually a Fresno State with him and they were like, he was
• 3:48:02
  always that guy. He always worked hard you.
• 3:48:04
  He was always the biggest dude. I mean, he won the College World
• 3:48:08
  Series, Home Run Derby, and so everybody knew who he was and
• 3:48:11
  just obviously at stature wise, you're gonna know who.
• 3:48:14
  He is. But for me, the most impressive
• 3:48:17
  thing is to see how he's not rested on his laurels like when
• 3:48:20
  he got the contract, he's continued to get better.
• 3:48:23
  And for somebody like that, and especially with the eyes on him
• 3:48:27
  that are like, if this is happening, and no disrespect to
• 3:48:30
  the smaller market teams by any means, and I don't, I don't mean
• 3:48:33
  it this way, but if this is, and I say the same thing for myself,
• 3:48:37
  because if I did what I did in Milwaukee, nobody would have
• 3:48:39
  cared. But I did it in the biggest
• 3:48:41
  media market in the world. And he continues to do it and he
• 3:48:44
  continues to get better and handles himself in such a
• 3:48:47
  professional manner and being what it is, where like Errol
• 3:48:50
  said, he could have gone and got more money, but he knew the
• 3:48:54
  importance of what it was and obviously the opportunities that
• 3:48:58
  New York creates. But yet he continues to get
• 3:49:01
  better and better every year in certain areas of his game.
• 3:49:05
  And there's certain areas where he he didn't excel at that year.
• 3:49:09
  And now, like you just said, 21%, that's his best yet.
• 3:49:13
  And he's been in the big leagues for how many years, folks?
• 3:49:16
  And he's 33 years old. It's not like, you know, he's
• 3:49:20
  Soto and came in when he was 20 years old.
• 3:49:23
  He's been in the big leagues for over 7 years and he continually
• 3:49:28
  gets better and that's the thing that I just respect the crap out
• 3:49:32
  of him for, of finding little holes in his game that he can
• 3:49:37
  become. Wasn't a great outfielder at
• 3:49:39
  first. What did he do?
• 3:49:41
  He worked at it and he did the things that he did, the small
• 3:49:46
  things to make his game complete.
• 3:49:49
  You know, he's never going to be a, you know, A50 stolen base
• 3:49:52
  guy, but he's going to get you 15 and he still has the threat
• 3:49:57
  to be able to steal a base when need be.
• 3:50:00
  And I just he, he's so fun to watch.
• 3:50:03
  He it's, he's one of those guys like even if you're not a
• 3:50:07
  Yankees fan and there's not a lot, it's either you hate him or
• 3:50:10
  love him one way or the other, but he's one of those guys it's
• 3:50:13
  hard not to root for just because of the way he carries
• 3:50:16
  himself and how he's made. His game.
• 3:50:18
  He is a Y6 foot. 8 and he's he's made the game of baseball fun
• 3:50:23
  feel like a. Machine.
• 3:50:25
  When you got guys literally like that don't talk baseball and
• 3:50:29
  they're they're cutting in on an event.
• 3:50:32
  It was some was it conference championship of football or
• 3:50:36
  whatever. They're cutting in to see if
• 3:50:38
  he's going to break the record and hit a home run like that.
• 3:50:41
  You're doing something. This this dude is special and I
• 3:50:45
  I wish he can stay healthy. He's had some weird freak
• 3:50:47
  injuries getting hit on the hand his.
• 3:50:50
  Toe Not for the last two years. I mean, except the toll he's
• 3:50:54
  been, he's been pretty damn good and he's played consistently and
• 3:50:58
  that's what you want to see. What's your best player?
• 3:51:00
  So. All right, let's let's move on
• 3:51:02
  in the inside baseball and we're going to get to the injury
• 3:51:05
  report. A couple of ones I'm just going
• 3:51:07
  to mention and some guys coming back, Rokie Sasaki, the big
• 3:51:13
  import from Japan. Bust.
• 3:51:16
  It's a flamethrower. Not only bust, but damaged
• 3:51:20
  goods. It looks like his shoulder might
• 3:51:22
  be shot. They were saying that they were.
• 3:51:25
  He was having arm trouble last year.
• 3:51:27
  He didn't have a great seat season coming over, at least to
• 3:51:31
  his standards. The velocity dip, Jabba.
• 3:51:35
  And that's when you know, so we had that one and I just kind of
• 3:51:40
  wanted you to touch on that because you mentioned that
• 3:51:42
  before, Jabba. You know, when that's kind of
• 3:51:45
  the real indicator of something going wrong.
• 3:51:48
  Yeah, and it's it's tough because it and it's weird too.
• 3:51:53
  Like and shout out to Alice Waldo and his I know the
• 3:51:58
  feeling. Hopefully he gets better quick
• 3:52:01
  and and you know, gets that all all situated.
• 3:52:04
  That was kind of gruesome that slide in the home plate.
• 3:52:06
  But these like when they do like shoulder impingement and you
• 3:52:11
  know, we're going to touch on another one in Tanner and a
• 3:52:14
  extra strain. Like we, we all know, we've all
• 3:52:16
  heard these things and you know, we all saw the injury at home
• 3:52:20
  plate and they, they put them on the 10, just put them on the 60
• 3:52:23
  day. It's all literally roster moves
• 3:52:26
  and how they're going to do it. And I get the insurance and outs
• 3:52:30
  of that too. Why they just say 10?
• 3:52:31
  Because if you put them on the 60 day, then you can bring a guy
• 3:52:33
  up from the 40 man. Who would they bring up?
• 3:52:35
  Don't know, obviously getting DJ back in those things.
• 3:52:40
  But with Rokie, it's just it's different because their
• 3:52:44
  workloads are completely different in the States than
• 3:52:46
  they are in Japan because they're once a week guys in
• 3:52:49
  Japan. And now it's it's different
• 3:52:53
  because they're throwing their bullpens earlier.
• 3:52:55
  They may get an extra day, but it's it's not the workload that
• 3:53:00
  they're used to and how they have prepared themselves for,
• 3:53:06
  you know, the big leagues. Obviously they got over here for
• 3:53:08
  a reason and talented arm. But now once you completely
• 3:53:13
  change up your routine, it's hard to adjust, especially
• 3:53:17
  coming into the expectations and things of that nature where
• 3:53:22
  that's something a lot of people don't think about, where he's
• 3:53:25
  coming in with all of these standards of what he did in
• 3:53:30
  Japan. Well, we've seen how it's worked
• 3:53:32
  for some guys, it hasn't worked for others.
• 3:53:35
  And you see, like when Dice K came in and he invented the Gyro
• 3:53:40
  Ball, you're like, it's just an inverted.
• 3:53:43
  Like, what do you talk about? Like it?
• 3:53:45
  Was like a slurp known before. That's what it was.
• 3:53:47
  It was like a slurp. But it was opposite because he
• 3:53:50
  just extra pronated. It's like it's like the right, I
• 3:53:54
  hate to even mention it, but it's like the Airbender with
• 3:53:57
  Devin Williams. Like just no, it's it's just a
• 3:53:59
  really inverted change up. Like it's not like this hasn't
• 3:54:03
  been thrown before. Yeah, it's just different.
• 3:54:05
  Type of change up. So it just when it says
• 3:54:09
  impingement, I mean that could be labrum, that could be rotator
• 3:54:12
  cuff, that could be scap, it could be numerous things.
• 3:54:16
  And you don't really know until it comes, comes out of of what
• 3:54:21
  the MRI says. And if he gets an Arthur Graham
• 3:54:23
  to see if you know there is A and you could, you could MRI
• 3:54:27
  every pitcher and, and mostly probably everybody that's ever
• 3:54:30
  played sports. And there's something wrong with
• 3:54:32
  the shoulder just from basketball players and doing
• 3:54:35
  overhead motion stuff, weight lifters where you know, your
• 3:54:39
  labrum's a little piece of like tissue that is in between the
• 3:54:44
  ball and socket joint that just from use it.
• 3:54:48
  There's going to be fray. There's going to it's just going
• 3:54:50
  to happen. So to, to what extent is it like
• 3:54:54
  I went on the DL in O 8 for the same thing and mine, mine was
• 3:54:58
  40% torn, but I missed two starts and that was it.
• 3:55:02
  So some people handle it better than others, but it'll, I don't
• 3:55:07
  think this will just be a 15 day.
• 3:55:08
  It it, it'll be at least a month like I maybe even more to be
• 3:55:12
  honest with you. All right, let's go to Errol.
• 3:55:17
  I'm going to go speedy. I'm going to come back to you in
• 3:55:19
  a second. I want to ask you about Tanner
• 3:55:20
  Hawk a little bit and what is he?
• 3:55:23
  Somebody that's a little real sneaky, underrated player in the
• 3:55:26
  league. But Errol, the Braves are
• 3:55:29
  getting Acuna and Strider back real soon.
• 3:55:31
  Acuna is up at AAA in the last phase of his rehab right now.
• 3:55:35
  He did apologize to manager Brian Snitaker for, you know,
• 3:55:40
  the comment about Kelnick not running and how he if it was
• 3:55:44
  him, he would have been benched. He said he was sorry.
• 3:55:47
  He was very contrite. Seems like they're all good.
• 3:55:50
  What is this? We know that NL East is a big
• 3:55:53
  time division and the Braves come back with these two guys.
• 3:55:58
  Absolutely, absolutely. I, I don't know if it's going to
• 3:56:02
  fix management and obviously Acuna.
• 3:56:05
  Acuna is a great player. If, if, if anything, it, it does
• 3:56:09
  help him come back so we can get back on the field and hopefully
• 3:56:12
  it'll, if he's playing good baseball and he, and he's doing
• 3:56:16
  what he's supposed to be doing on the baseball field, nobody's
• 3:56:19
  going to worry about what he said about the manager.
• 3:56:21
  Nobody's going to worry about it because it's all about winning.
• 3:56:23
  Schrider is so very important to that, that pitch staff.
• 3:56:26
  He's one of the best, most dynamic young pitchers in
• 3:56:29
  baseball. So he adds A dynamic to that
• 3:56:31
  roster and that rotation. So he's going to play a big
• 3:56:34
  part. Why couldn't they come back?
• 3:56:36
  We've seen the Braves in the second-half completely dominate
• 3:56:39
  over the years. They got a tremendous amount of
• 3:56:41
  young talent on that roster. You had a pitcher that good and
• 3:56:45
  you had a a player in the lineup that can, you know, do you know,
• 3:56:49
  play lead off, play at lead off. I don't know if he's going to be
• 3:56:51
  a good outfielder if he's ever going to play in the outfield
• 3:56:54
  again at at the top of his game, but he is a tremendous hitter
• 3:56:57
  and I I hopefully stays away from stealing bases.
• 3:57:01
  Now he needs to protect himself. But they are dynamic.
• 3:57:04
  Both players are dynamic. One at the on the rotation and
• 3:57:08
  he's probably as good as any pitcher and young pitcher in
• 3:57:11
  baseball and the other guy dynamic.
• 3:57:13
  This guy was an MVP, the MVP candidate for what, the past
• 3:57:17
  five years when he's in the lineup.
• 3:57:19
  So 2 dynamic plays absolutely can come back and and be a
• 3:57:25
  scary, scary team if these guys come back at the top of their
• 3:57:28
  games. Yeah, for sure as Strider,
• 3:57:32
  someone that I've been following since the first game for the
• 3:57:34
  league, Kunya, we'll see if he can come back.
• 3:57:37
  I don't think he's going to run as much.
• 3:57:38
  He doesn't have to after those leg injuries, but he's still
• 3:57:42
  going to be very good player. Speedy, what does Tanner help
• 3:57:46
  mean to that? That staff over there.
• 3:57:50
  Yeah, it definitely looked off at the start of the year and a
• 3:57:53
  lot and a lot, a lot of big like dogs when he's had dogs this
• 3:57:56
  year. And I think for somebody that
• 3:57:58
  has a lot of good pitching, Arsenal has a good strikeout
• 3:58:01
  rate in previous years, you would think this would be the
• 3:58:03
  uptick. Obviously Crochet got all the
• 3:58:05
  hype with the the trade in the offseason and they have other
• 3:58:07
  good youngsters too, but a lot of them were hurt.
• 3:58:09
  So it was thought that maybe he was going to be the kind of that
• 3:58:12
  second guy to be like a 2A type thing in that rotation while
• 3:58:16
  those guys were hurt, but has not been the same.
• 3:58:18
  And now you're kind of seeing why a lot of this stuff has
• 3:58:20
  regressed this year. But again, there's still weather
• 3:58:22
  in the storm at the time being. There's a lot of mediocrity in
• 3:58:24
  the American League right now. So there's still a lot of time
• 3:58:27
  for them to rally back. Well, especially, especially in
• 3:58:30
  the East, there's only one team above 500, and that's the
• 3:58:33
  Yankees. Yeah.
• 3:58:35
  The just commenting on which said before, Errol Braves are
• 3:58:38
  actually 500. They got to 500 today after the
• 3:58:42
  how they started. That kind of gives you a little
• 3:58:45
  bit of a heads up, you know, six games now behind the Mets, 3 1/2
• 3:58:51
  behind the Phillies. And you know the Mets and you
• 3:58:53
  know the Mets are going to eventually hit a skid, but
• 3:58:56
  they're going to lose night out of a 12 games.
• 3:58:59
  I, I don't and I'm I'm not a met hater.
• 3:59:01
  I actually root on the Mets. I want the Mets to play well.
• 3:59:04
  They're not no threat to the Yankees.
• 3:59:06
  I could care less, but I eventually they're going to hit
• 3:59:09
  a skid and I, I do believe it's going to happen in the
• 3:59:12
  second-half of the season. I don't trust they're pitching
• 3:59:14
  the Braves. If Strider comes back, they
• 3:59:17
  could be scary. That rotation could be scary.
• 3:59:21
  Which Strider in the lead guy over there on that rotation, he
• 3:59:24
  doesn't even have to pitch 5 1/2 innings and he's still dangerous
• 3:59:28
  even 2 times around the route, you know, a line up.
• 3:59:31
  I I think the Braves absolutely with the talent that they have,
• 3:59:35
  could, could be, I don't know if they're the number one seed in
• 3:59:38
  the, in the American, I mean in National League East, but
• 3:59:41
  they're right there. They can compete against any of
• 3:59:44
  those teams. Both will be back.
• 3:59:46
  Strider, they said he's going to pitch sometime middle of the
• 3:59:49
  week this week. He's he's not going to take
• 3:59:51
  another rehab start. He did a simulated game through
• 3:59:54
  65 pitches. So he'll probably be limited in
• 3:59:56
  his first start back, but he's going to be back and Acunia is a
• 4:00:01
  AAA. Probably end of the week for
• 4:00:02
  Acunia as well. They're going to be back.
• 4:00:05
  Schrider's not going to lose a game for the rest of the season,
• 4:00:08
  Mark my words, that guy does the.
• 4:00:10
  Team hopes you're right. That guy is.
• 4:00:13
  We're going to get into some highlights and this was a great
• 4:00:17
  objection, one of the best that I've seen in a while.
• 4:00:22
  Tori Lovullo, who before he got back into Major League Baseball
• 4:00:25
  and became a manager of the year, he's coaching right around
• 4:00:27
  the corner by me by the Rockland Boulders over here in Rockland
• 4:00:32
  County and was really great there.
• 4:00:34
  So take a look at this. There's some weird like the
• 4:00:38
  shortstop gets in the way of the baserunner.
• 4:00:40
  They don't call it. He loses his mind, he gets
• 4:00:43
  ejected. He throws each one of them out
• 4:00:47
  one by one himself, you know, in revenge, you know, you ever
• 4:00:52
  revenge throw out like, no, you're, you're fired.
• 4:00:55
  No, you're fired. And they want to take this away
• 4:00:59
  from baseball? They're idiots.
• 4:01:01
  This is so fun to watch. I had this argument too, like I
• 4:01:04
  like, I love that. Like there have been times where
• 4:01:08
  we've been in a game and it's, you know, it's not cutting time
• 4:01:11
  and where your coach sticks up for you and it lights a fire and
• 4:01:18
  then you end up coming back. I can think of 3 or 4 right off
• 4:01:21
  the top of my head that I've actually been personally in
• 4:01:24
  where you're like, all right, I see this going and you know, it
• 4:01:29
  was that it was the call against Dominguez the other day and
• 4:01:33
  Boonie gets thrown and 100% right because the inning before
• 4:01:39
  he literally didn't give the same pitch.
• 4:01:42
  And the the crappy part about all of this is their egos are
• 4:01:48
  and I went off, I went off on Twitter and I was like, I get
• 4:01:53
  the human element of it and I get ABS is coming in and all the
• 4:01:57
  other stuff. But I love a good argument.
• 4:02:00
  I love it because it can help a team in so many different ways.
• 4:02:03
  And I was fortunate enough and like I said, to play for guys
• 4:02:08
  that stuck up for their team and they were players.
• 4:02:12
  They understood the game and what that means in certain
• 4:02:15
  situations where it can get you going.
• 4:02:17
  There are somewhere it can kind of backfire, but when you see
• 4:02:21
  these and it's, it's like, all right, he has our back.
• 4:02:24
  He's sticking up for us. It's not just like, oh, he's
• 4:02:27
  just doing it just to do it. No, he's protecting us.
• 4:02:31
  He's sticking up for us. And when you go out there and
• 4:02:34
  you see the passion that they have, it's just not a robot
• 4:02:37
  being a manager listening to the front office or doing this and
• 4:02:40
  you know you're going to get ran because as soon as this came,
• 4:02:43
  you can't question umpire, you're going to get thrown out.
• 4:02:46
  But then when they start barking back at you, one thing that I
• 4:02:50
  really wish they would do, but their union is really, really
• 4:02:53
  strong. Be held accountable.
• 4:02:56
  They all get recordings of their games.
• 4:03:00
  Like go watch it. Like if I ask you just to go
• 4:03:03
  look at these pitches, don't just take your check and go
• 4:03:06
  home. Greatest one ever is Wally back
• 4:03:08
  then. Yes, that is 100% right.
• 4:03:11
  How he? How he?
• 4:03:12
  Throws the rosin bag and gets it right where it is.
• 4:03:15
  There's no, it couldn't be anybody, but like just be
• 4:03:19
  accountable. Like I get you're going to mess
• 4:03:21
  up IA 100% going to get it, but you've got to have some
• 4:03:29
  accountability where it's just we have to answer questions when
• 4:03:33
  we screw up. You're just a much part of the
• 4:03:37
  game as we are. Some of you think you're a
• 4:03:40
  bigger part of the game than the damn game itself.
• 4:03:43
  Yeah, one of them just retired like that.
• 4:03:45
  Mister Angel, Mr. Angel himself. Oh God.
• 4:03:49
  I mean. Love the alms that make the
• 4:03:51
  sound effects that you can hear audibly.
• 4:03:54
  They're like oh God. And then like they do like some
• 4:03:58
  kind of Chuck. Noise.
• 4:03:58
  I need a gin and tonic. I don't remember who it was and
• 4:04:02
  I remember there wasn't a fire there.
• 4:04:04
  What I need? What?
• 4:04:04
  You call the strike you, it's like strike you.
• 4:04:06
  When I'm listening, I'm thinking about Angel.
• 4:04:09
  OK, that was Jim Joyce. That was Jim Joyce, OK.
• 4:04:12
  All right. So I got one more highlight.
• 4:04:15
  I'll get an actual play and this one.
• 4:04:18
  This was pretty crazy. This is why.
• 4:04:20
  Smell my ass to. Run over and help your fellow
• 4:04:23
  outfielder if the ball is not going to you because this is
• 4:04:26
  what happened in the Tigers Boston game.
• 4:04:29
  We have a deep fly ball. The right field outfielder goes
• 4:04:32
  and brings it back, doesn't catch it, bounces it back to the
• 4:04:36
  center fielder who catches it of.
• 4:04:37
  Course it had something to do with Boston.
• 4:04:39
  Work together to prevent a home run.
• 4:04:43
  I don't know if I ever saw that one.
• 4:04:44
  Here's No, I don't think so. It hits him in the glove, but
• 4:04:48
  since he was covering for him, he was right there.
• 4:04:52
  And you think that was planned? Avoid him too.
• 4:04:55
  He was. That was not planned.
• 4:04:56
  That bounced out of his glove. I'm.
• 4:04:58
  Just saying. He was saying This is why you go
• 4:05:01
  and and back up your outfielder. I've seen it, I've seen it.
• 4:05:05
  It's A tag. Team play right?
• 4:05:07
  I've seen it. Once I've seen it happen where
• 4:05:10
  like a line drive like. I'm not doing a freaking tag
• 4:05:14
  team. Once in person, it was a line
• 4:05:18
  drive that hit off a shoe that didn't hit the ground and went
• 4:05:23
  to the third baseman. They got a double play.
• 4:05:24
  That's the only one I've ever seen in person I've obviously.
• 4:05:27
  Seen since then, yeah, I feel like.
• 4:05:29
  It's yeah, I mean, yeah, but those ones you don't see very
• 4:05:33
  often. There's there's some you see
• 4:05:34
  where you know it's a diving thing and he catches, flops up
• 4:05:39
  and then the outfielder comes from the infielder going out to
• 4:05:42
  the outfield and then coming in. So.
• 4:05:46
  That's that's credit that that's the things that people don't
• 4:05:49
  understand about the game is he's doing his job.
• 4:05:52
  He's attacking the baseball. But OK, so say he misses it hits
• 4:05:56
  off the wall, he goes against the wall.
• 4:05:57
  But at least he's there, you know, to be able to either keep
• 4:06:01
  him to a double or not extend, you know, an extra base.
• 4:06:04
  And those are the little things that people don't see that don't
• 4:06:08
  respect. Yeah, that turned out great.
• 4:06:09
  But even if it didn't, he was right there and didn't catch it,
• 4:06:12
  he would still be able to get the ball in, in, you know,
• 4:06:15
  that's, that's just the little things in baseball that I love
• 4:06:18
  that a lot of people, you know, don't recognize as a baseball
• 4:06:22
  play. And and that's that's why I love
• 4:06:25
  the game. I'm just going.
• 4:06:27
  To finish off this baseball segment, I'm sorry.
• 4:06:31
  Just. Letting it roll and we're going
• 4:06:32
  to take a look at these hot and cold teams, but let's get to
• 4:06:35
  speedy first before. We.
• 4:06:36
  Yeah, I was. Going to say Keith Hernandez
• 4:06:37
  always brings up the fundies that is broadcast for fun.
• 4:06:40
  Those are all the little things like outfielders.
• 4:06:42
  You got to put your tall. Territory, stuff like that, you
• 4:06:44
  don't usually see it like that, but Java, you're actually
• 4:06:46
  exactly, absolutely right. That's why you track it.
• 4:06:49
  You don't want to leave an isolated fielder like that.
• 4:06:52
  So the hottest team in all of baseball is the Minnesota Twins.
• 4:06:57
  I did not realize that that they were playing this well until I I
• 4:07:01
  saw this stat. They kept losing close ones in
• 4:07:03
  the beginning so it was bound to happen.
• 4:07:05
  Well, maybe it's positive regression, but 10 game heaters,
• 4:07:09
  10 game heater, they're right back into the thick of things in
• 4:07:12
  the Central. Cleveland has been playing
• 4:07:14
  really well in the Central, but you know, they don't really even
• 4:07:18
  have much of AI, think they still have a negative run
• 4:07:20
  differential. So again, a lot of close games.
• 4:07:24
  That usually means we have a lot of teams that are around the
• 4:07:26
  same talent level all playing each other.
• 4:07:28
  It's going to be a slugfest in that.
• 4:07:30
  Division chicks with Dicks. All year and but Detroit seems
• 4:07:34
  to be really tough as well because they're eight and two
• 4:07:37
  and the Saint Louis Cardinals, guys, we said this earlier in
• 4:07:40
  the year, you know, Nolan Arenado, someone everyone wanted
• 4:07:44
  and guess what? Saint Louis wants them too.
• 4:07:46
  And they might be doing some things.
• 4:07:48
  A couple of good young players over there.
• 4:07:50
  Lars New Bar who would play for Japan in the last Baseball
• 4:07:55
  Classic. I believe he's their leadoff
• 4:07:58
  fitter. He's starting to come into his
• 4:07:59
  own. Mason Wynn is their top
• 4:08:02
  shortstop prospect, who's now recently started heating up as
• 4:08:07
  well. He's someone I've been paying
• 4:08:08
  attention to for a while. Where's goodie when you need
• 4:08:10
  him? By the way, How the Reds doing?
• 4:08:12
  Yeah, I figured. That's what I am.
• 4:08:14
  It's not the same team, Cincinnati.
• 4:08:18
  What are you? Talking about, I'm sort.
• 4:08:19
  Of going to get cold for them to get hot.
• 4:08:21
  I was still talking hot, but cold.
• 4:08:23
  Well, we know the Rockies are going.
• 4:08:24
  To be honest, I just, I wish Goody was here because I'd like
• 4:08:27
  to shove that down his throat. Mr. Terry Frank, do we just do a
• 4:08:30
  permanent list of like when we do the cold teams?
• 4:08:33
  They're horrible. Just like, leave them on there.
• 4:08:36
  Straight. Down Cincinnati to stay there,
• 4:08:38
  but the Orioles, I mean. You.
• 4:08:39
  What is this love fest for Cincinnati, man?
• 4:08:42
  I'm just telling you guys, I I don't think Cincinnati's that
• 4:08:46
  good. The Orioles, I already told you
• 4:08:48
  what I thought they were doing. One guy is not going to make you
• 4:08:53
  lose as many games as they had in a row.
• 4:08:56
  OK, come on, He. Was pitching like Garrett.
• 4:08:57
  Cole, it's one player that's once every five games.
• 4:09:01
  You think one pitch is going to change everything?
• 4:09:03
  Come on, man. If the since.
• 4:09:05
  He's worth 6 war. That means he's.
• 4:09:07
  Worth, all right? Garrett Cole's not part of this
• 4:09:08
  rotation and the Yankees are still winning, are they not?
• 4:09:15
  We don't know that. How do we know Garrett Cole
• 4:09:17
  doesn't start the season golf? I'm.
• 4:09:18
  Saying that's the stats. That's how stats work, Errol.
• 4:09:21
  Well, screw the stats. Here's what I'm going to say.
• 4:09:24
  Cincinnati stinks. The Oreo stinks.
• 4:09:29
  Colorado stinks. They all freaking stink.
• 4:09:33
  They're horrible, and they're not going anywhere this year.
• 4:09:36
  Sell that platter that up and stick it in a box and send it to
• 4:09:40
  Speedy's mom. Right Speedy?
• 4:09:42
  How about? I will tell her not to accept
• 4:09:44
  any spam packages, would you? Stick a finger in his.
• 4:09:47
  Ass no fish. I think these like twins just
• 4:09:50
  won again today, So that's eleven in a row.
• 4:09:54
  Cardinals, Cardinals will be interesting.
• 4:09:56
  I think they'll be they'll be hot and cold.
• 4:09:59
  You just made my name Tigers. We predicted.
• 4:10:02
  I mean because obviously when you got Tark school going out
• 4:10:04
  and then I love job's arm like I pulled it out of my ass.
• 4:10:09
  He's going to be phenomenal and we've seen the reinsurgence of
• 4:10:14
  ABI Baez. Yep.
• 4:10:17
  I farted. Carpenter is a real good hitter
• 4:10:19
  too. Carrie Carpenter.
• 4:10:21
  Yeah, he's been doing some. Bagel hole hitting.
• 4:10:24
  The top of the line up. Yeah, and he's hit, he's hit,
• 4:10:26
  he's hitting like 3 or 4 spots too.
• 4:10:29
  And it I think he's done a good job.
• 4:10:32
  And I'm I wasn't really sold on O when they when they signed
• 4:10:35
  him, but I think he's he's got a good feel of, of what the
• 4:10:41
  balance of his lineup. Is Yum Yum be able?
• 4:10:43
  To move and take a little bit for as far as the cold teams,
• 4:10:47
  like I said, we're going to the Rockies are going to be.
• 4:10:49
  I don't even think they're on pace for 40 wins this year.
• 4:10:52
  I don't think, I think. The last thing I saw was. 38 or
• 4:10:55
  something like that. I don't the Reds will figure it
• 4:10:59
  out because they have Tito there and he's just one of the best
• 4:11:04
  managers that. Smelled my ass.
• 4:11:05
  Around in a long time Orioles I and you can go back because I, I
• 4:11:11
  predicted the Orioles are going to be good because coming off a
• 4:11:13
  playoff with young kids and I and I knew they probably weren't
• 4:11:16
  going to go deep in the playoffs last year.
• 4:11:19
  But having that core guys come back and and know what it takes
• 4:11:23
  to get there And and obviously they've been with the with the
• 4:11:26
  injury bug too and and there's guys and and they've got some
• 4:11:29
  really quality young arms. They just can't stay healthy.
• 4:11:33
  It's just. I.
• 4:11:37
  Breaking news Goody has no Woody.
• 4:11:42
  Hadley referencing on the 200. I know, and that's.
• 4:11:45
  That guy, I mean they say his advanced stats, he should be
• 4:11:47
  hitting like the expected batting average is like 280.
• 4:11:50
  And he's yeah with like the off the bat and all the other stuff.
• 4:11:55
  All that stuff. So, like, there's some hope, you
• 4:11:57
  know, a lot of positive regression.
• 4:11:59
  Westberg's been hurt. He's a good player.
• 4:12:02
  I think they'll find a way to bounce back.
• 4:12:04
  Will it be enough for them to get into the playoffs?
• 4:12:06
  I mean, they got to figure it out soon.
• 4:12:08
  I got to go back off now and. Now they lost Grayson Rodriguez,
• 4:12:12
  he was supposed to replace Corbin Burns need now they still
• 4:12:16
  have now they don't have a number one or #2 and a lot of
• 4:12:19
  the guys that they're they're hoping for aren't coming back to
• 4:12:21
  the middle of the season. I don't know if they're going to
• 4:12:23
  be able to get, you know, enough wins and do the math, although I
• 4:12:28
  expect them to be a good team by the end of the year.
• 4:12:30
  Joey's bag of Donuts over there, I think that's enough.
• 4:12:34
  I think Arrows had enough of my statistics.
• 4:12:37
  My shenanigans here. I've got one for you.
• 4:12:41
  Bug plug. All right.
• 4:12:45
  We have one more segment of the night.
• 4:12:48
  It's the good one. It's the best one as we call
• 4:12:51
  this the one and only analytics. Ladies and.
• 4:12:53
  Gentlemen, analytics I want. Everybody together to go ahead
• 4:13:00
  and say penis, penis, penis, vagina, vagina, vagina.
• 4:13:05
  No, right, It's been a long one tonight, but hey, you know what,
• 4:13:08
  Jabba is taking care of his family.
• 4:13:10
  So we had to and I thought, I thought Goody was going to join
• 4:13:14
  us, but I, I know he's been working with his son and his
• 4:13:17
  T-ball, his T-ball game, so. He said that they're on a road
• 4:13:20
  game. He's probably not going to get
• 4:13:22
  back in time. All right, that's fine.
• 4:13:24
  The old Goodwood, as we all know.
• 4:13:26
  Goody has no woody. Bring Niff and Tommy in on yeah?
• 4:13:30
  Why? Not sure this is niff in
• 4:13:31
  segments. That's right.
• 4:13:33
  A lot of hot ladies. As we all know, a lot of hot
• 4:13:37
  ladies, a lot of. Hot ladies.
• 4:13:40
  I'm putting you on a leash now, yeah?
• 4:13:42
  I think I think the leash is definitely a speedy.
• 4:13:44
  Stick. No, no, that's a different
• 4:13:46
  stick. I.
• 4:13:47
  Think it's the master of the leash, Speedy.
• 4:13:49
  Speedy is obsessed with the leash now.
• 4:13:52
  Now the real question have you? Have you ever put a woman on a
• 4:13:55
  leash while they're drinking a gin and tonic?
• 4:13:58
  Speedy. 'S mom.
• 4:14:02
  My mom doesn't drink gin, so. That's breaking news.
• 4:14:04
  So that's it, correct? I got to go back off now.
• 4:14:08
  You can't let it have different back off of his specialty.
• 4:14:11
  Smell my ass. Different.
• 4:14:14
  I hope you're backed off smelling people's asses.
• 4:14:16
  Give me that chicken Curry. Chicken Curry, gin and tonic,
• 4:14:21
  and Lisa. I need a gin and tonic.
• 4:14:24
  Introduction of analytics. A quality educational
• 4:14:27
  experience. Guys, bagel hole.
• 4:14:29
  Errol versus speedy showdown of an analytical versus an
• 4:14:35
  analytical mystery term. Bagel Hole the.
• 4:14:38
  First round it'll be a wild guess, and then each round there
• 4:14:41
  will be clues for them to use to solve the term they.
• 4:14:46
  Whoever solves in the fewest clues wins, although they will
• 4:14:49
  have to use it correctly in a sentence before they are done.
• 4:14:54
  There's a catch though. You see the terms that Speedy
• 4:14:57
  are going to give Errol are going to be sports analytical
• 4:15:00
  terms. As you just heard in the last
• 4:15:02
  segment, Errol did not like me explaining that no war means
• 4:15:07
  wins above replacement. So.
• 4:15:09
  He's Yum Yum. That should have been like wins.
• 4:15:12
  So that's an example of a stat. But he doesn't.
• 4:15:15
  Really know about but because because he's an eye test man.
• 4:15:18
  He's a traditionalist. He knows the few stats he needs,
• 4:15:22
  but he could see what he needs to.
• 4:15:24
  See, I farted. So he doesn't know these terms.
• 4:15:26
  It's going to be really tough for him.
• 4:15:29
  Like, like, like, like knitting on the bowl.
• 4:15:33
  Really tough. Do you want to jerk me off on
• 4:15:36
  the other? Hand Speedy knows all these
• 4:15:39
  terms. What he smell my ass?
• 4:15:43
  Things. Like that unfortunately,
• 4:15:45
  fortunately I guess in this case.
• 4:15:47
  Who needs my knowledge? We got nipping on the sound
• 4:15:49
  board. A lot of sexual innuendos.
• 4:15:52
  Anyone. Terms.
• 4:15:54
  That. Speedy will get or anal I have.
• 4:15:59
  No clue. Boys, Are you ready to play?
• 4:16:03
  Tonight. Man, as long as Nathan's ready,
• 4:16:04
  that's all I care about. With any of you.
• 4:16:07
  I haven't been here for analytics in a while, so this
• 4:16:09
  is. This should be Yeah.
• 4:16:10
  Now you're going to bonus with Nathan here too.
• 4:16:12
  Pulled it out of my ass a. Good one.
• 4:16:14
  Pulled it out of my ass son. As long as she's using dude
• 4:16:18
  wipes and taking care of my 2 hole I'm good.
• 4:16:22
  Speedy. With that beautiful
• 4:16:25
  introduction, what is your analytical termination?
• 4:16:31
  All right, so we got football this week and we got ASR Oh.
• 4:16:39
  I think I do know though ASRAS. RASR.
• 4:16:44
  Rating is the one. I'll get it rate.
• 4:16:47
  Yep, that's good. AI do know this asshole reem
• 4:16:57
  right? Am I right?
• 4:16:59
  In your parallel football universe, where EJ Perry's the
• 4:17:03
  best quarterback in the league, would that be a qualified step?
• 4:17:05
  I got to go back off now. Well.
• 4:17:11
  That's not. Correct, if it doesn't back off
• 4:17:13
  when it comes to. EJ Perry, I need Brittany also.
• 4:17:17
  There you go. Everyone's been waiting for this
• 4:17:23
  all week. What is the analytical term?
• 4:17:28
  All ready, speedy, ready for the speedy.
• 4:17:30
  Are you ready, Nathan? That's all the matters to me
• 4:17:32
  are. You ready for the speedy?
• 4:17:33
  Are you ready for the speedy? More that you're here now,
• 4:17:35
  Nathan. All right, Speedy.
• 4:17:37
  You're the inspiration for this segment.
• 4:17:39
  Here it goes, Speedy, you ready? If Nathan says I'm ready, then
• 4:17:42
  I'm ready. That's all so weird.
• 4:17:45
  That's yeah, I was about to say that's a very weird soundy
• 4:17:47
  sense. That's worse.
• 4:17:49
  Actually. I find that to be worse.
• 4:17:54
  That sentence, man. I don't.
• 4:17:56
  Yeah, it was good sentence structure.
• 4:17:58
  It was the content of the sentence Speedy.
• 4:18:01
  And that's why this is especially in analytics.
• 4:18:04
  This is not anyone's Forte except for Nathan with all his
• 4:18:07
  hot ladies. All right, you ready all?
• 4:18:09
  Right, a lot of hot ladies. That's right.
• 4:18:13
  Butt plug, I am a legend. You definitely are a legend.
• 4:18:20
  All right, Speedy, you ready all?
• 4:18:22
  Right. What we got hot.
• 4:18:24
  Carl. Oh God, poor Carl.
• 4:18:27
  Has to be. He's not here in the comments
• 4:18:28
  section. He doesn't have to deal with
• 4:18:30
  that tonight. Hot Carl.
• 4:18:32
  OK, hot Carl all. Right, Carl, it's.
• 4:18:39
  Annoying. You know, Carl is great.
• 4:18:41
  Carl. Is Bagel who?
• 4:18:42
  Carl is the main thing. He is the number.
• 4:18:44
  One joking Carl is good. OK, smell my ass.
• 4:18:47
  Carl is the number one fan of this segment, but you're not
• 4:18:49
  here. Nothing.
• 4:18:50
  I'm putting you on a leash now, all right?
• 4:18:53
  What the hell is this? All right.
• 4:19:00
  Fire again. What do you do?
• 4:19:01
  Fire two weeks in a row. God, this is there's just so
• 4:19:06
  many weird things you guys do in Suffolk County, Long Island,
• 4:19:10
  Speedy. 'S mom they call me the ladies
• 4:19:13
  man and Mr. Still your girl. Wow.
• 4:19:19
  All. Right, Goody has no woody.
• 4:19:22
  It's. A wild guess, Speedy.
• 4:19:23
  Yeah, so completely wild guess. Let's say it is.
• 4:19:28
  The. Action of a guy coming down on a
• 4:19:35
  woman randomly in a sauna. What, Coming down on a woman in
• 4:19:49
  a sauna? So like when you say I'm coming,
• 4:19:56
  the phrases coming down. Busy all day today all.
• 4:20:03
  Right. Well, it's time for the first
• 4:20:05
  clue, Speedy. Do you want to jerk me off?
• 4:20:13
  All right. So we talked about our friend
• 4:20:14
  Trey Hendrickson earlier. It is a defensive line is a
• 4:20:18
  defensive line stat involved around the good results of
• 4:20:21
  getting pressure on a quarterback.
• 4:20:23
  So what is it? What is it?
• 4:20:24
  ASR. That is a pretty line.
• 4:20:26
  Stat you got rate right so. ASR And you said it's a what?
• 4:20:33
  So the ultimate goal of getting to the quarterback, it is a stat
• 4:20:38
  related to that for a defensive line.
• 4:20:41
  He mentioned Trey Hendrickson, too.
• 4:20:43
  So I themed it for Trey Hendrickson because we were
• 4:20:45
  talking about him. Speed have anything to do with?
• 4:20:49
  It not speed. Active Active.
• 4:20:57
  Active is not the AD, no. Still wrong?
• 4:21:03
  All right, first clue for Speedy.
• 4:21:08
  OK on Hot Hot Carl. OK.
• 4:21:11
  Hot Carl. He lets it go, It's nice and
• 4:21:22
  hot. He lets it go all.
• 4:21:27
  Right, so do I go back on the fire angle again?
• 4:21:32
  Back on the fire. Because Sonic clearly wasn't it
• 4:21:39
  all right, so letting it. Go yes.
• 4:21:43
  It involves last week it was matches, so it's not going to be
• 4:21:47
  that again probably. What other type of ways to do
• 4:21:52
  fire you? Said Fire.
• 4:21:58
  Well, last week there it was involving a lighter, so I don't
• 4:22:03
  know if he would do something like that again.
• 4:22:04
  So I'd have to think of another way to create a spark.
• 4:22:08
  Maybe, maybe a spark. Yeah, maybe a sparkler.
• 4:22:12
  Let's go with that sparkler. Let's try a sparkler.
• 4:22:16
  And. Butt plug.
• 4:22:19
  Yes, maybe it maybe it would evolve into a woman's butt plug,
• 4:22:23
  correct. And let's say it's somebody's
• 4:22:26
  penis. No, speedy, we're not.
• 4:22:28
  You're speedy. You're going all over the place
• 4:22:30
  right there with it. It's a speedy.
• 4:22:33
  Man, you have a vivid imagination.
• 4:22:40
  It's time for Errol to get another clue on ASR.
• 4:22:45
  OK. So when you when you finish the
• 4:22:48
  hit on the quarterback, Trey Hendrickson did a lot of them
• 4:22:52
  this year and it is also something that you get, you get
• 4:22:59
  an extra boost. For breaking news, they call me
• 4:23:03
  the Ladies Man and Mr. Still you grew.
• 4:23:05
  For also things such as quarterback hits and also
• 4:23:08
  forcing intentional grounding penalties and bad throws, so.
• 4:23:13
  So you said Trey, Trey Hendrickson?
• 4:23:14
  Trey, it's related to Trey Hendrickson.
• 4:23:17
  And then so the finishing results of getting good pressure
• 4:23:21
  on the quarterback and then also a number that gets skewed based
• 4:23:26
  on those additional things like forcing an intentional
• 4:23:29
  grounding, hitting the quarterback, stuff like that.
• 4:23:32
  OK, Sack. Yep.
• 4:23:35
  Because you said Trey Hendrickson, so sack rating.
• 4:23:38
  Sack rate is Sr. Yep, all right.
• 4:23:40
  And then. AI have no idea it's.
• 4:23:51
  One of those speedy words. There's a lot of his words.
• 4:23:56
  Bagel Hole. That it's not one of them.
• 4:23:59
  That's a different word. I am a legend.
• 4:24:04
  I farted that. Was good.
• 4:24:09
  Not a legend. Moving.
• 4:24:11
  Back the other way. OK.
• 4:24:13
  It's time Errol for another. Clue.
• 4:24:16
  All right, Speedy. On hot speedy farted.
• 4:24:20
  Did you fart, Nathan? You're trying to frame me?
• 4:24:22
  He sees her asleep and wants to give her something hot.
• 4:24:35
  OK. So I was kind of right on the
• 4:24:38
  sneaky. Price.
• 4:24:39
  Yeah, it was sneaky. Yeah, it's definitely sneaky.
• 4:24:41
  Sneaky, sneaky. Yeah, it's very sneaky.
• 4:24:43
  I don't know if I have the right word then pulled up.
• 4:24:45
  Do you want to jerk me off? Estimates the sneakiness.
• 4:24:49
  All right, so maybe there I think there could be that kind
• 4:24:51
  of barely any ball. The question is where does the
• 4:24:54
  hot come from? Irrelevant.
• 4:24:55
  It's not a sauna. It's not fire.
• 4:24:59
  Like what? It's gross.
• 4:25:04
  I love that sauna was your first guess.
• 4:25:06
  Because I figured it wasn't a fire.
• 4:25:07
  Again, I didn't think you would do it two weeks in a row with
• 4:25:10
  fire. So that was my next thought.
• 4:25:12
  My next thought. I never heard of a skin flute
• 4:25:16
  and now I'm jumping to hot tub. But if she's asleep?
• 4:25:19
  That wouldn't make. Sense.
• 4:25:22
  Either you're trying to drown the woman in the.
• 4:25:24
  Pot. I know that wouldn't make sense
• 4:25:25
  with. Sleep really Speedy.
• 4:25:28
  Really. What the heck?
• 4:25:30
  Nathan, I'm trying to think of other forms of fire here or you
• 4:25:33
  just. Made my nipples hard.
• 4:25:35
  That would make sense with. Sleep pulled it out of my ass.
• 4:25:39
  Sleeping. Three guys.
• 4:25:41
  All right, maybe let's say, let's say maybe heat.
• 4:25:47
  I want you to slide it. Right in being like under way
• 4:25:51
  too many sheets and covers and then the guy lifts them all up,
• 4:26:01
  goes back in to drive his Dick in and then smothers it back on.
• 4:26:07
  The. Sheets and covers.
• 4:26:09
  An excessive amount an excessive amount where be causing heat
• 4:26:13
  exhaustion. Do you want to jerk me off?
• 4:26:20
  I need a gin and tonic. After that answer I need one
• 4:26:23
  all. Right, nothing.
• 4:26:26
  Go deliver a gin and tonic to Errol.
• 4:26:29
  I farted I think. I think I've gotten Dumber a
• 4:26:34
  lot. I am a legend this.
• 4:26:36
  Episode. We're going to go back the other
• 4:26:38
  way. We have one clue left.
• 4:26:40
  Errol's a lot closer than you are Speedy at this point.
• 4:26:44
  Not not there yet. He does need one more clue
• 4:26:47
  though, so let's give him that last clue.
• 4:26:49
  All right, so football coaches in the second-half, if you need
• 4:26:53
  a change in game plan, they will try to make what it's.
• 4:26:58
  A good clue? Say that again.
• 4:27:01
  So a football coach, if they're struggling at the end of the
• 4:27:03
  first half, they will try to change their game plan, to
• 4:27:07
  improve the game. They try to make what?
• 4:27:12
  Something Bambi never did or ulbrick.
• 4:27:18
  I got it adjust. Yep, adjusted sack rate, that's
• 4:27:23
  correct. All right, Yeah.
• 4:27:25
  That is correct. Now this is the.
• 4:27:28
  Harder one, speedy. Well, before we go, we have one
• 4:27:33
  more task, Carol. Oh God, do I have to really do
• 4:27:36
  this? ASR correctly in a sentence.
• 4:27:42
  OK, Music back on. Adjusted sack rate.
• 4:27:47
  How am I going to put? This in his end and just Trey
• 4:27:49
  Hendrickson, all right. The.
• 4:27:57
  The league Oh no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 4:28:05
  Trey Hendrickson adjusted sack rate is amongst the best in the
• 4:28:12
  league today. That's good.
• 4:28:18
  That's good. I think that's good.
• 4:28:19
  I think that's good. I'm getting good at this.
• 4:28:23
  That's good. I mean, the sentence had very
• 4:28:26
  little worth. I farted sentence a lot of hot
• 4:28:30
  ladies. Sentence that Speedy can somehow
• 4:28:33
  get this right and have a better sentence, he can still win.
• 4:28:38
  So it's not over Speedy, it's. All but no.
• 4:28:40
  Like Nathan would have a better shot at this.
• 4:28:42
  But no, Nathan, Nathan, it'll be just as wrong.
• 4:28:47
  In fact, we should ask Nathan what he thinks it is.
• 4:28:49
  Before Nathan, you're something in next week.
• 4:28:52
  Speedy tell Errol how we use ASR before we move on.
• 4:28:56
  So yeah, ASR is it's a metric that compensates for in addition
• 4:29:01
  to just sacks as it is, it gives players extra boost in
• 4:29:05
  percentage rating for quarterback hits, also
• 4:29:09
  quarterback knocked hits and knock downs and getting close to
• 4:29:13
  it where they're practically in the pocket.
• 4:29:15
  And then the other case that they were noting is forcing bad
• 4:29:18
  throws and intentional grounding when you're the closest
• 4:29:21
  defender. Basically, a better way to tell
• 4:29:25
  if you're good or not is at the end, and that's pass.
• 4:29:28
  Watch, because we've talked about pass watch, win, wait win
• 4:29:30
  rate before, that's more directly on the offensive
• 4:29:32
  lineman, on the defensive lineman or vice versa.
• 4:29:35
  This is more the closest defender to the quarterback type
• 4:29:37
  thing. Yeah.
• 4:29:40
  All right. OK, it all comes down to this.
• 4:29:44
  All right, shot. All right, one chance.
• 4:29:47
  So hot Carl. Hot Carl.
• 4:29:50
  You ready? All right, I'm gonna.
• 4:29:54
  I'm gonna try to give this to you right here.
• 4:29:58
  Now, there's only one way to make something smell.
• 4:30:05
  OK? It's it's a smelly thing.
• 4:30:07
  All right? Now a man or a woman, depending
• 4:30:13
  on you know what aura you want to look at, sees the other
• 4:30:17
  partner laying down OK and is wrapped with something.
• 4:30:28
  He does this very hot thing to that.
• 4:30:30
  Person. On a certain part of their body.
• 4:30:37
  Hot coral. That was a good one.
• 4:30:41
  I pretty much gave you the. Smell probably what means has to
• 4:30:45
  yes come from the butt plug. And what would it be?
• 4:30:52
  Hot I farted, yes. That definitely could be
• 4:30:56
  possible. Smell my ass, I.
• 4:30:57
  Think it'd be something more than farted though.
• 4:30:59
  Nathan, what are we eating? Bagel hole that.
• 4:31:05
  Was that was good? You're just eating applesauce
• 4:31:09
  out of a jar like Arrow. No Nutella Breaking news.
• 4:31:14
  Nutella out of the jar. Oh, it's got a lot of vitamins.
• 4:31:19
  Breaking news, I'm putting you on a leash now.
• 4:31:21
  Yeah, all. Right.
• 4:31:25
  Yeah, this is, I'm not going to get anywhere with this.
• 4:31:28
  Let's say it has to do with the butthole.
• 4:31:31
  We'll go with that, OK. And it involves a deuce coming
• 4:31:36
  out. OK.
• 4:31:40
  The hot is what's throwing me. Like where's what?
• 4:31:42
  It's not dropping a deuce. Yeah, but it's.
• 4:31:44
  You just, you just dropped the deuce.
• 4:31:46
  Be quiet, be here, be quiet. Let him think.
• 4:31:48
  Lighter. It's not a lighter.
• 4:31:51
  Somebody's sleeping. Somebody's sleeping right?
• 4:31:54
  So they're sneaking. Up you keep eating your Nutella.
• 4:31:56
  Stay out of there. They're.
• 4:31:56
  Sneaking. They're sneaking up on on
• 4:31:59
  somebody while they're sleeping. OK, what type of mechanism to
• 4:32:02
  make it hot? That's the.
• 4:32:04
  What mechanism? Really.
• 4:32:08
  Sweetie, come on. I I'll, I'll say it's an
• 4:32:11
  internal combustion. Yeah, what would be hot internal
• 4:32:19
  combustion. Yeah, I.
• 4:32:20
  Mean yeah, like. I'm Yum Yum I'm.
• 4:32:22
  Thinking some type of. Give me that chicken Curry.
• 4:32:25
  Shit, diarrhea, like anything like that, but I just don't know
• 4:32:29
  what the hell would come with hot.
• 4:32:31
  Butt plug. The butt plug would help stop
• 4:32:35
  it, but. You're right.
• 4:32:38
  The butt plug would definitely be useful in this situation, but
• 4:32:41
  I. Got to make a guess.
• 4:32:42
  I'm going to throw a timer on you in a second.
• 4:32:45
  Yeah, let me say. Let me say involving after you.
• 4:32:51
  I definitely think it's that. Specific Do you bend the meat?
• 4:32:56
  One type of food that doesn't make sense.
• 4:32:58
  Either would you stick a finger in his ass.
• 4:33:01
  So let's just say let's just say a general spicy.
• 4:33:03
  For Mario. Going out as well.
• 4:33:06
  I don't know. I'm not.
• 4:33:07
  Really. What?
• 4:33:08
  Say that again? OK, here I'm going to give you
• 4:33:10
  another tip. What?
• 4:33:13
  She's sleeping. She's wrapped with something on
• 4:33:18
  a certain part of her body and he's letting it go.
• 4:33:25
  Now think about. This I got the poop diarrhea
• 4:33:28
  part. OK, all right, I got that part.
• 4:33:30
  I'm trying to figure out the hot.
• 4:33:32
  That's what's wrong me. Which type of what extra heat?
• 4:33:35
  Don't worry about the hot Stop. Stop with the hot.
• 4:33:38
  All right? You got the poop, all right.
• 4:33:42
  That's pretty obvious now that it is poop.
• 4:33:45
  All right, she's sleeping. All right.
• 4:33:50
  Now there's a certain part of her body that Mister Douche Man
• 4:33:55
  is going to do something, and she's wrapped with something in
• 4:34:02
  this on this part of her body. It's.
• 4:34:04
  Her it's her butt hole vagina wrapped with underwear and
• 4:34:07
  you're putting a poop through it.
• 4:34:09
  What? Wow.
• 4:34:14
  OK, All right. Think about it.
• 4:34:17
  There is a certain part of the body.
• 4:34:19
  OK, think about it. There's only one way it can go.
• 4:34:27
  There's two ways it could go in and out, right on your body,
• 4:34:31
  right? Form of poop.
• 4:34:36
  No, no. Think about it.
• 4:34:39
  All right, sweetie, Think about it.
• 4:34:40
  There. It's a woman.
• 4:34:42
  She's sleeping. She's sleeping.
• 4:34:44
  OK. Now, why would this guy want to
• 4:34:48
  poop on her vagina if she's sleeping?
• 4:34:52
  No arousal pooping on her vagina.
• 4:34:55
  Think about it. That's disgusting.
• 4:34:57
  Think about it. Great, but so is sex.
• 4:34:59
  Now think about it. She's sleeping.
• 4:35:02
  Speedy. All right, well.
• 4:35:06
  First off, if she's sleeping, it's technically.
• 4:35:08
  There's a certain kind of wrap. OK, what?
• 4:35:11
  What do you wrap things with on? Your body, it could be anything.
• 4:35:15
  What it what? What would you there's there's
• 4:35:17
  like you're wrapping food up with what?
• 4:35:21
  Foil or like plastic? Wrap.
• 4:35:24
  OK, you got that one, all right? You got it.
• 4:35:27
  You got plastic. OK, Now it's got to go on a
• 4:35:30
  certain part of that woman's body for him to let it go on, I
• 4:35:38
  mean. If she was, it wouldn't be her
• 4:35:43
  mouth because she's suffocate. But hold on, say it again.
• 4:35:50
  So they wrap something around the person's mouth and then take
• 4:35:55
  a deuce on her. That's that's psychotic.
• 4:36:00
  That's right, psychotic, right? Can you?
• 4:36:04
  Use this in a sentence. I would hope nobody could use
• 4:36:08
  that in a. Sentence terrible.
• 4:36:10
  Sentence was mid at best. Can you give us a better
• 4:36:15
  sentence to win analytics tonight for hot?
• 4:36:18
  Carl beluga whales mating. Yeah, I, I, yeah, I'm sure.
• 4:36:26
  Do you bend the meat? Willy whoppers?
• 4:36:29
  Speedy Willy whoppers. There has been.
• 4:36:33
  A lot of hot ladies, there's been a.
• 4:36:34
  Record over the last 40 years of at least 50 serial killers that
• 4:36:41
  have pulled off the hot Carl on their victims.
• 4:36:49
  I don't know, I guess that's OK. I was just saying I have to give
• 4:36:52
  the win to Errol still because let's face it, Errol kind of
• 4:36:55
  walked that that one over to your side.
• 4:36:57
  Speedy the Hot Car tonight's champion of analytic.
• 4:37:02
  Yes, breaking news, they call me the ladies man and Mr. Still
• 4:37:05
  your girl. I'm.
• 4:37:08
  Sure, they do nothing. I'm putting you on a leash now.
• 4:37:10
  Let's put her on a leash speedy after we wrap.
• 4:37:13
  That's nothing. Specialty.
• 4:37:14
  After we wrap her. I don't do leashes, that's only
• 4:37:16
  nothing. You never heard of the heart,
• 4:37:18
  Carl? I never heard of any of this
• 4:37:20
  shit. Is that cool or why you think
• 4:37:28
  that's psychotic? Why is it psychotic?
• 4:37:30
  You're wrapping something like you're going to freaking
• 4:37:32
  suffocate her or strangle her and then you're going to
• 4:37:36
  freaking deuces. You've never wanted to deuce on
• 4:37:40
  something. On a mouth.
• 4:37:41
  No Yum Yum. You shouldn't watch that.
• 4:37:51

• 4:38:23
  So. But Andrew Schultz said it too.
• 4:38:25
  You saw that right? I need a gin and tonic.
