  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Brandon Kravitz, joined by the Queen of
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the Podmus Kendra Middleton, the Prime Minister of degen Nation,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Stucky a much deserved vacation. Some good news, Kendra, the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: losing streak was snapped as of the last twenty four hours.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I am up zero point four units. We will take
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the small wins where we can get them.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: We love small units.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: It's so frustrating, Like I'll go, I've begoing days and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: days where you're like of just losing bushels of bets,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: and then I finally have a winning day and it's like,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: here's a little eminem so that you feel better about life.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: But honestly it works. I'm in a much better mood
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: today just knowing that I'm not completely lost, and I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: feel like I feel like Miley Cyrus. It's the climb,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you know, mmmm.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Gonna gave.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Hell.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: It's the question.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, I love it. Did you watch the New handam
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: on tennis?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: But I can't say that, can't say that I did. Okay,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that's what I hear. That's what I hear. As I'm
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: as I'm slamming my wagers into the action app. I
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: just hear Miley singing in my head.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I'll allow it.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: So since Stuck he's not here today, I'm going to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: take over our random question of the week.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Hey, this is a dumb question.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a personal question.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Kind of question?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Is that is question?
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: What pet peeve of yours is so trivial that you
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: feel weird complaining about it?
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, I have a full blown confession, and people are
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: going to think I'm the biggest.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Bitch in the entire world once I finish the story.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: My biggest pep peeve in the whole world is when
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: people eat and then they scrape their teeth off of
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: their fork like they bite their fork, and it makes
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: that like crazy sound. You probably have never noticed it before,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: but now that I've mentioned it, you will.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I dated this kid for like a year.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: And a half who did it, and like six months
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: in he would not stop, even though every time he
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: did it it drove me nuts. So I took the
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: square bottle that I use for the dog when he's
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: doing something that pisses me off, and I started squirting
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: him in the face with a squirp bottle to train
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: it to not bite his fork?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Did that sort of negative reinforcement work on your ex.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Here the shit out of him quite a few times.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: But yeah, eventually he did stop fucking his work.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna need to talk to you about why
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you keep squirting me in the face with a water bottle.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I literally kept it on the kitchen counter and we'd.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Be like sitting at the island eating and I would just.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I think anything involving like uh uh, like teeth, stuff
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: that noise, that's definitely understandable. One for me, that is,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: so this one's common. So I don't think it applies
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to my own question. But when I see people, please
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: tell me you're not the type of person that backs
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: into your parking spot.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I am, I am.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I like to can can I say like it's cool
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: that people can do that confidently confidently?
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: No?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, and I have I have a camera, But like,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: can I do it quickly and confidently? No? Can I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: do it?
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Of course, but I have a license, I have I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: have a key K four, Come on, gravits, it's got
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it does have a nice big camera. I mean, I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: think I can watch TV on this thing. It's so
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the dash is so big. But uh, when I see
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that irks me. But I think that that's something that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: bothers a lot of people. So that's that's not trivial
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and uncommon. When I see people at the gym look
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: for the parking spot that's closest to the entrance, it
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: sends me into a mental rage. Why are you concerned
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: about the length of time it takes you to get
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: from your car to the front door of the gym
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: when you're gonna go work out. I just I want
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to interview these people on the spot. I obsess over it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I do this at because.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Like where I go it's I don't want to give
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: out where I work out, but you have to walk
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: up three flights of stairs to get to like the
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: section of like different workout classes. And I see people
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: who are going to workout classes take the elevator and
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you're going to work out, You're not, you know.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Out of shape.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Why are you taking the elevator up the same content
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: flights of stairs.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I don't. It drives me nuts.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: And then like I'll beat them up the stairs and
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: they'll be six feet behind me getting off the elevator,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, I just I don't understand. You clearly
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: can go to a workout class, which means you can
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: get up a flight of stairs like the the.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I just I don't get it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It's the same thing at my office. I work in
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a building that is on the fourth floor. I'll get
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: in the elevator. I feel like taking the elevator up
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to the fourth floor is pretty reasonable. When people get
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: in with me and then they're getting and then they
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: hit the number two button, I go, you're right there.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: There are seven steps away from not annoying the shit
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: out of me. Why is this your decision driving me
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: absolutely crazy? There's one other I wanted to throw at you,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: because I feel like this is something that you would
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: be good at. As far as answering this on the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: fly from people where I turn into a blubbering shell,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: like I just don't I don't know what to say.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: When I'm at the grocery store, I don't know if
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: they do this in Boston, but this happens all the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: time to me where I'm checking out. This is always
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the person who's who's ringing up your items and then
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: they ask me, do you have any big plans today?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Do they do that where you are?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Or is this just a like people in Boston are
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: mean as hell.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: They don't They do not give a shit about anything
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: about you.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: You would get so excited if somebody asked you that
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: it stresses me out. I don't know what to say.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I'm buying Deli meat, chocolate chip cookies, and IPA's, Like,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: does it look like I have big plans?
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: No? I think that the most vulgar like thing that
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: I've heard ever come out of someone's mouth was a
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: twelve year old at the bean Pot in Boston. People
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: here are not nice.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: They don't care what you're doing this weekend.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Honestly, if somebody asked you that, they'd be like, I.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Don't know, screwing your mom or something, piss off.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Like literally, that's exactly what a Bostonian would say.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Which I think is why I love it up here.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that does sound like a lovely place to be.

  Speaker 1: Johnny Strumsky, hosts of the New York New York podcast
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and frequently on your televisions on SNY. Great time to
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: have you on with New York at the epicenter of
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: so many things happening in the sports world. The Mets
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: are dead, the NBA Playoffs are starting. We get Nix Hawks,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: one of the best first round series in all of
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs, the Jets and the Giants both picking
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: in the top five. What a time to be a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: sports fan in New York. Josh, Well, you and.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: I can, first of all, thank you for having me on.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: I needed the double expresso today. I after sitting for
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: another Met Dodger game, and I'm gonna give you, guys
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: a confession right out of the gate. I did one
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: of these on Instagram yesterday. And you know, the kids
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: are all on TikTok now, so I'm trying to be
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: cool and hit and putting up the videos. I was
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: dumb enough to take the Mets plus one sixty thinking, hey,
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: did do the win Dodgers do to lose? I'm getting
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: plus one sixty fourteen strakeouts later with you know how
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: stupid baseball can be. Guys, Come on, you gotta take
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: a shot every now and again. But it was a
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: poor investment, let's just put it that way.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised that that was your mo.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I actually listened to your show from Monday and you
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: went on a massive rant about how they have no identity.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: So for you to come back and you know you're
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: pretty negative about them, going.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Out to play the Dodgers. So I'm surprised to hear
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: you say that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: You know, kencra I was pretty negative. Right, They go
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: and lose the first two games. Baseball is just such
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: a nutty sport, though, Like usually when you think one
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: thing you're gonna zig, you end up seeing a zag
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: and you know the problem the Bets are running into. Obviously,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: not having won Soto is a huge problem. We're talking
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: about one of the five best hitters in all baseball.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: But you know, the Mets didn't have an offense problem
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: last year, Like they scored a ton of runs. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: they say goodbye to Peter Wanzo, he's in Baltimore. They
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: made this Nemo for Simon trade because they wanted out
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: of the NEMO contract. The problem is, Marcus Simion looks
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: like a zillion years old. He looks like you should
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: be playing in the men's league down the block for
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: me in Brooklyn. And he can't get around on a
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: fastball anymore. And the met lineup is just not producing.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: So they got problems. The good news is they got
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: a ton of games to figure it out. The division
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: is not great. I wouldn't bet them to go and
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: win the division. I still think they can find their
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: way to the postseason.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: So they have perhaps the biggest training wreck of all
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: all Major League Baseball teams right now, and you take
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: into account how much they're spending on this roster. They've
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: lost eight straight, seven and twelve to start the year.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Highest payroll in baseball. How panicked are you? You said
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that you think that you they can make the postseason.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Where would you put the panic meter for Mets fans
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: out there?
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's a great question.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: If ten is being the highest, then one is being
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: the lowest. How about a six, six and a half
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: and it should be lower because we're still talking about
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: what like three weeks of one hundred and sixty two games.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: There's still a ton of baseball left to be played.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: The problem is this team has been completely transformed. They
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: did a facelift from what they were a year ago.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: They were awful for three months, they choked the playoffs,
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: they got beat out by the Cincinnati Reds. You guys
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: mentioned the fact that they spend a ton of money
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: on the roster, which is a thousand percent true. You
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: want a better return on yours men. The reason I
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: have hope though, that want two punched the top. The
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: rotation should be really, really good. Noel McClain is the
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: real deal. Freddy Peralt is pitching for a contract. He's
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: gonna put up numbers, and their pitching has not been
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: the problem. They're not scoring any runs.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Sooner, a lady, you.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Gotta figure the metal offense is gonna get going. But
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: they don't have a Loonzo anymore. They don't have Nimo anymore.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: So it's gonna require these guys that you brought in
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: the off season. When am I getting some out of
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: Jorge Polanco? When am I getting some out of Marcus Simeon?
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: And hey, Bobaschett stolen from the Phillies. Everybody in New
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: York celebrating the fact that Bobashett is no longer a
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: member of the Philadelphia Phillies.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: When's he gonna start hitting? So you need to answer
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: those questions.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, I have this or that question for you. Better
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: bet right now? Yankees doing the World Series of plus
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: he was just gonna say this or the Mets to
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: miss the playoffs at plus one point.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: I gotta take the Yankees to in the World Series,
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: and I think they have major awards and major deficients.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: But let's just think about the American League. Who is
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: really keeping you up at nine in the American League?
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think the Dodgers is gonna win a
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: World Series. I hope I'm wrong on this because they
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: should have lost the World Series last year to the
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Blue Jays. They worked thoroughly outplayed. They look like the
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: class of baseball, without question. But who's the team that
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: you like in the American League?
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Seattle?
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Just so?
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: The Yankees going take two editors from the Mariners early
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: this year.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Rough start for them too, a rough start, struggling to
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: score runs, you believe in Baltimore.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: I actually like them.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: I think they're gonna go over their win total this year.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: I think they have a chance to be a playoff team.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: Am I ready to say the the Orioles are better
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: than the Yankees?
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: I'm not. I think the Blue Jays strike me.
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Gang is like that classic World Series loser hangover type
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: of team, Like we've seen this in other sports where
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: you're just kind of in a funk, get in a
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: malaise kind of all year because of the dramatic way
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: you lost the World Series.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: And Gang, I hope nobody's a fan of a team
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: in the America League Central. We have a rule around here.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: We see America League Central teams in the playoffs, we
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: fade the crap out of them.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: They don't win in the postseason.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: So I go through this little exercise, and I know
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Garrett Cole's coming back.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: I know Carlos Rodin's coming back.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: You still got Aaron Judge, who, outside of Otani's the
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: best player on planet Earth.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: I'll take my shot.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: I can get the Yankees in the World Series and
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: maybe get a decent Hedge number.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: So I'll take that over the Mets to miss the postseason.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, but the Yankees' issues aren't pitching. It's the fact
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: that their guys just can't hit the ball right now.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: And Aaron Judge, we watched him in the World Baseball Classic.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I think he's cursed.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: He's an absolute world class choker loser. I just can't
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: get there on this. I think that he is a choker.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Well, listen, Kenja.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Unfortunately, until he wins a championship, you can run with
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: that narrative.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: I can't fight him, by the way.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: But here, hold on a second, though, I got a
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: and I've killed Judge plenty for not showing up in
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: the postseason. But let's be fair on this last year.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: He was not the problem in their series against Toronto.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: He had a great series. He had a big time
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: home running Game three. Max Freed didn't get the job done.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: The Yankee lineup other than Judge didn't get the job done.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: But forget about all that, because I got it. You
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: play for the Yankees.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: If he had no but hold on, hold on, hold on.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: If he had hit six hundred with like seven home
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: runs in the WBC and won it for Team USA,
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: what would the narrative be from the Yankee hater, Oh, great,
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: doing it, you know what I'm saying, Like, no, you might,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: but the Judge hater and the Yankee hater would be like,
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: oh great, he's doing it in March exhibitions.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: When is he going to carry the Yankees to a check?
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Everybody, you would pull out the Kermit the Frog puppet
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: for Garrett Cole.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what would happen.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Well, you know what, Cole and Mahomes, they got that.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: They got that going for them right now.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: They got that but changer.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: Okay, So you have skepticism about the Yankees getting at
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: the top of the Mountain, which is fair and I
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: totally understand it.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Bottom of the orders stinks. Who do you like more
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: in the American League?
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: I was high on the Blue Jays early in the season,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: but right now you're right, there isn't anybody that I
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: feel more confident about. I just I feel like they
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: are the Yankees are their own worst enemy at times,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: and that is my fear with putting a future on them.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I get it, and I wouldn't bet them to
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: beat the Dodgers. But you see what I'm saying, Brenna.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: If I could get them in the World Series ten
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: to one number, if they play a competitive series with
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: the Dodgers, that could at least have a little fun
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: maybe all that's.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: The problem is if the Dodgers are in there, hedging
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: out of that is going to be expensive.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Well, what do we think if it's Yankees Dodgers World Series?
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: What are you going to make the Dodgers basically two
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: to one favorites at.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Least, that's going be more like three point fifty.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: Well, and that's crazy because when they matched up two
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: years ago. Now, I get it, the Dodgers had not
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: won these back to back championships.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: They're pitching.
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: If you remember the World Series two years ago, was
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: like in absolute tatters, like you're trying to figure out
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: who's starting games for them. They were like, I want
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: to say, like one fifty or one fifty five.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: They will not be that this time around.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: This would be three though.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: I don't know if they see the Yankee tax. Though,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: I don't know if they'd go three with you against
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: the Yankees.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: If we got there.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: The Yankee tax, that is definitely definitely a thing. I
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: wonder if we're getting that too in the NBA with
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the Knicks and the Hawks. I run some of my
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: own numbers. I cannot get anywhere close to the Knicks
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: line against the Atlanta Hawks. I have this at minus
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: one eighty four. Let me pull up with this series
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: price is right now between these two. Right now, the
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: New York Knicks are minus two seventy five. Do you
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: think there's a Knicks tax in Round one against Atlanta?
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: No question?
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: And let's be real, gang, we saw this last year
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: in Round one against Detroit with a Knicks I don't
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: remember exactly what the series price was, it was pretty outrageous,
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: and Detroit was this up and co team and the
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: way that Atlanta in many ways has been this up
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: and coming team. And look, the Hawks scare me. They've
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: played great basketball down the stretch. They've won eighteen out
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: of twenty games. I mean you do that calling me impressed.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: They've played big time defense, they can agitate. I think
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: they are lack of size though, see there we go.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: They were minus four hundred. The Knicks should have never
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: in a million years been minus four hundred against the Pistons.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: And I remember I had the minus one and a
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: half for the series and if the watching Game two,
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: I felt like crap about it. Then a Knick's yucked
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: up Game five and I'm like, this is dead. This
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: is gonna be a seventh game, and Brunston saved my bacon.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: I think we'll have a hard fought series.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: I think Atlanta is going to scare New Yorkers to
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: the point where like this could be a two to
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: two series heading back to Madison Square Gordon. But I
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: think two things end up being the difference Brunston in
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: crunch time, where I'm gonna look at the other side
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: for Atlanta, and if the games are tight, who's gonna
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: be the guy?
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: I love CJ. McCollum.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: But he is he gonna be the guy that's gonna
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: go and basically carry them in, you know, fourth quarter,
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: two three minutes to go, go and get big buckets
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: and big situations. Then the size problem, and this is
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: where Karl Anthony Towns cannot be the invisible man. He
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: has got to be thoroughly involved in the game plan.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: He's got to be involved across the board. That's how
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: I get the Knicks and six. But to your point,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: it's a fair one, Brandon.
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: I think this line is way too overduiced, and I
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: would not feel good about laying two seventy five the way.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Obviously, the expectation here is that the Knicks are going
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: to survive this series, whether it winds up being four
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Gentlemens or six, however it goes. I don't think it's
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: going to go to seven. But what's kind of your
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: expectation for this team is it?
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: At this point? Is it Eastern Conference or bust?
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Do you?
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Are you okay if they wind up, you know, going
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: to seven with the Celtics and losing, or are you
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: just so gung ho they better make it out of
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: the Eastern Conference? Where are you at with kind of
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: looking at the futurest perspective of the next because I
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: think that's probably where you're going to find some at
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: this point.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: Okay, it's a very simple gang time to get to
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: the NBA Finals. Maybe it's because I've been waiting since
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: nineteen ninety nine to see my beloving New York Knicks
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: playing in the NBA Finals, which, by the way, wasn't
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: such a happy memory. Tim Duncan, David Robinson, San Antonio,
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: the whole deal. You fired Tom Thibodeau. You didn't fire
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Tom Thibodeau to say, hey, we had a good.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Series against the Celtics. It was hard fought, it was close,
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: we came up short.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: Or if you go and lose to Detroit because of
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: what they can do to Jalen Bronson, No no, no, no,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: no no.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: You say goodbye to a coach.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: That had won fifty games at consecutive seasons, that built
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: the program from the ground up to get to the
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: next level, to get to the next step. If the
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Knicks are not in the NBA Finals, this season is
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: a bitter disappointment period, end of discussion. There were no
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: moral victories, there's no all good tries. No no, no, no,
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: you could go get smoked by Oklahoma City, you can
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: go get smoked by San Antonio. With Denver, I can
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: accept that you can't get knocked out out by one
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: of these Eastern Conference teams, because then you have to wonder.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: If if the Knicks can't get to the NBA Finals.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: This year with this group, Hey, Jason Tatum's only going
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: to healthier next year. Pace's gonna get tyris Alburton back.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: Who knows they might have themselves a top five pick.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: For all we know, Detroit's going to be a problem.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: Charlotte's on the up and up. I mean, I could
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: go on and on and on. We wonder, hey, is
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: this Nick team ever gonna get there? So the time
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: is now.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: So when talking about, you know, the ability for the
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Knicks to beat the Celtics, Tatum's not going to get
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: any healthier. There's rumors that, you know, the Celtics are
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: interested in Yiannis.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: I believe in that piece.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: But for me, I kind of look at the potential
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: of that series and the fact that Jason Tatum has
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: so openly talked about being nervous to play at Madison
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Square Garden again just because that's where he got injured.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: How much do you kind of look at the mental.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Math aspect of that when kind of evaluating the next
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Celtics series.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: You know, if we get there, Kendra, It's interesting because
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: you mentioned, hey, the PTSD of Jason Tatum and the
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: achilles injury last year in Game four, but there also
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: is the dangling carrott a motivation.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: That's a very prideful Celtic team.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: So I'm sure for Jason Tatum, for Jalen Brown, for
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: Peyton Pritchard, for any of the guys who were on
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: that team last year, it probably makes them sick to
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: their stomach that they had to deal with a forty
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: minute party at Madison Square Garden with the next one
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: Game six, and listen, I love my New York brethren.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: They are the best. A little nuts celebrating after Game
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: six like the NBA. I can't imagine what they do
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: if they actually won an NBA championship. But be that
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: as it may, I'm sure that is in the mind
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: of the Boston Celtics saying, hey, we get these guys again,
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: We're gonna go and stick it to them. But my
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: counter would be, I've seen these regular season matchups. You
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: go back to the postseason series last year. I think
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: in that the Knicks matchup very well with Boston because
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: of the versatility of their wings to be able to switch.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: It's where Ananobe comes into play. It's where Michel Bridges
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: comes into play.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Up and down.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: The Knicks have had real good success playing against Boston
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: in like their last six seven to eight matchups, give
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: or take.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: So for me, I think the Knicks would find a
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: way to win that series. I do.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: I may be in a minority on this. I know
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: they'll be underdogs in the series and they will not
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: have home court advantage. I think the next will beat
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: the Celtics.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: The team that.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: Scares the crap out of me from a Nick perspective
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: is Detroit because despite the fact that they struggle a score,
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: they can make life miserable on Jalen Brunson. He is
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: so incredibly uncomfortable when he matches up with the physicality
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: of what Detroit throws at him. And I know Detroit, Hey,
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: there are questions about the outside shooting. Is there enough
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: around Kate Cunningham. That's the team that I have circled.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: If somebody's going to stop the Knicks from getting to
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: the NBA Finals. In my opinion, at least it's Detroit.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: They used to have questions about okc's outside shooting too,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and then they just went and smothered everybody on their
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: way to a championship. They added some three point shooting,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: which helped. But I wonder if Detroit is on a
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: similar trajectory because defensively, they're the closest thing that I
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: see to what Okay see delivers and their ability to
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: turn teams over. I'm sure JJ, since you sound confident
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: on the Knicks, that you are probably in tatters when
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: you see that the Calves are actually a shorter number
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: to win the NBA Championship seventeen to one as opposed
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to eighteen to one on the New York Knicks.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: Okay, you guys got to explain this to me, right,
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: And I understand that there are numbers that come in
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: and Brandon, you probably have all sorts of models, and
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: you are brilliant, and you have stuff that is beyond
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: my little pe brant and my suit card. No no, no,
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna butter up my host a little bit because
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: you guys are absolutely all over this. But here's his
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: dirty will suit.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: You have a Falcon's future. Let's be honest.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Seventy five to one.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: This is this is a gorgeous we call the portfolio,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Kentri we call that a lottery ticket.
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: We like to have a good lottery ticket every now
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: and again. But let's just explain this to me. The
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: Cleveland Cavaliers have been nothing but losers with this group
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: in the post season, nothing but losers. They got embarrassed
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: by the next a few years ago where I think
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Mitchell Robinson ate their launch, grabbed every rebound, blocked every shot,
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: and it was as embarrassing a first round series as you're.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Going to see for a team that had high expectations.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Then I see Indiana last year go and destroy them
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: and they add maybe the biggest loser in the history
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: of the postseason in James Harden.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: And we're lining up to going back Cleveland to go
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: to the NBA Finals.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: Please, if you want to go, anybody out there, I'm
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: looking for some secondary revenue and income, you know, maybe Venmo, PayPal, Zell,
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: whatever you want to do, I will.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Gladly book your bet on Cleveland. Send it to me.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: I'm happy to keep it in my portfolio. You're not
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: cashing that bad boy. They're not getting to the NBA Finals,
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: and they sure as hell out winning get championships.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: That was fantastic. I don't think it has anything to
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: do with matching up Nicks the Calves. They do think
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the Calves. The Calves are a higher rated team than
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the New York Knicks by a slight margin. Now you
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: can layer in all of the factors of do you
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: trust James Harden and the answer should be unequivocally no.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: In fact, I took a small position on the Raptors
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: to beat them in Round one at plus four twenty five.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: So this is I'm not going to make a case
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: for why the Calves are better than the New York Knicks.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: But I think it's a bracket problem because the Knicks
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: are on the side of the bracket with the Celtics.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: So we assume the Knicks beat the Hawks, they and
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: the Celtics beat the seventy six ers, then the Knicks
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: have to get by Boston the market. If you talk
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: about a team that no one believes in, the number
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: one seed in the Eastern Conference is the Pistons.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Which I find hard to believe.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Gang.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: I find hard to believe that nobody's in and I.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Get it, Kate coming back from the injury, and maybe
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: that's what scared some people off this Detroit teams taking
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: no prisoners all year, so again they got to show
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: that they can take that next step as a postseason team.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: That's the team that's the scariest to me. They need
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: to take it.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: You need to take a Pistons position in a Knicks position,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: get yourself on both sides like that, you get yourself
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: a prophet.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: I have a question, though, in all seriousness, what does
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: recovering from a collapse DeLong even look like? Like?
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: How many do you have to manage your minutes?
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: I genuinely have no idea.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Well, that makes two of us, Kendra, that makes two
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: of us.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I never got that.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: I've never dealt with a collapse lo on.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: I guess the good news for us is that we're
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: gonna get to watch the first round series of Detroit
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: more than likely playing the Charlotte Hornets.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: Sorry in advance on that, Brandon.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: What scares me?
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: By the way, we're good.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Charlotte will push Detroit. They will, they will.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: What will we get Charlotte if they beat Orlando and
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: they puy Detroit at like plus two and a half games.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: What are we gonna get that at? Like mine plus
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: one twenty.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not even sure that you're gonna get us two
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and a half.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I was going to say probably even money.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I think I think the spread on the series is
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: going to be one and a half. Those two teams
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: are not that far apart now I know.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: And Charlotte. Charlotte's impressive.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: We all like Charlotte.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: That's why I think for the NBA's sake, And if
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: you guys couldn't tell already, I'm a sucker for narrative.
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: I like good narratives. I like to tell a story
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: for everybody's sake. Thank goodness to Miami Heat did not
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: win that game.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: You want to see Charlotte. They're fun.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Okay, what are your thoughts on that game? I know
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: that this is not New York and this is a
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: little bit off.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: That's fine, I talk anything, go ahead.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: But this has been all over everything all week long.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: I think it came out he was fined thirty thousand dollars.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Do you think that he should have been ejected? Do
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: you stand on that?
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely?
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: And can somebody explain to me why he wouldn't and listen.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: I like I said, I want Charlotte to win because
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: I find them entertaining to watch. I want to see
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: them in a seven game series against Detroit. Why is
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: my ball not getting suspended for Friday's game? Does anybody
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: have an answer for that?
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I do. It's because he's the best player on their team.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: He's entertaining, and if they're going to make any money
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: or keep this series at all interesting, then that's that's
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: how it's.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Gonna have to be.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: I like conspiracy theory, Kentra.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: I don't even think it's a conspiracy theory, right Like,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: he is the most entertaining person to watch on that team,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: and he's going to keep them in the game.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Without him, it's just not even a question.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: On the train. He was terrible the other day.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Somebody needs to tell Charlotte that her canipple is out.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, but no, I.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Just played you said it, not me.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I just I I love him.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: He's had a down second half of the season compared
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: to what I think that he's capable of. But for me,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: it's just I think it also helps the books in
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: a weird way, right Like, it keeps a competitive acoust
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: of people gambling. Either way, You're just you're not You're
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: getting too too big of a favorite.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Magic are in such shambles right now.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure the Hornets even need LaMelo Ball, but
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: he is technically their best player, so we'll see how
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: it goes. I want to switch gears to the NFL.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the g men. They had a really
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: interesting offseason early impressions of the John Harbaugh era.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: Okay, so I've been killing the Giants for the better
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: part of the last couple of years, and I've been
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: screaming they had to hire John Horball, and I under
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: see two things can be true at the same time.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: I want to be perfectly clear on this. I thought
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: Baltimore needed to move on. There was a certain shelf
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: life that that team achieved. They didn't get to the
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: top of the mountain. Last year was a disaster. They
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: needed a new head coach. True, the Giants need a
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: program builder. They have been an absolute mess fears. John
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: Hornball comes in and the way I see a gang,
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: He's giving them instant credibility.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: There's no questioning. Hey, all the nonsense.
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: That was going on with Brian Dable not having your
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: staff on the same page. The leaks to the media, which,
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: by the way, you leap stuff to the media in
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: New York. You think it's going to stay silent, think again.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: People like to chat. People like to talk, and that's
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: why Brian David got himself into some trouble.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: So I think Horbaugh is definitely going to give them
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: a boost.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: From a coaching standpoint, I don't like what's going on
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: with this whole Dexter Lawrence situation. Dexter Lawrence is super
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: important to this defense. Now all of a sudden, Dexta
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: Lawrence wants to get paid. It looks like he's on
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: the outs. So it's great, you might get a first
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: round pick and return. We'll see what team is willing
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: to tango. But I don't like the fact that the
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: defense that stunk last year to begin with now may
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: lose one of their best defensive players got to go
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: and replace him, and there are questions about the health
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: to the quarterback. I like Jackson Dart. I didn't know
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: what to expect coming out of Ole Miss. It was
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: kind of iffy on him. I thought he was fun,
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: play with some attitude, play with some swagger.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: Dude, he's got to do a better job protect his body.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you throw your body around like a
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: rag doll and take those sort of hits that Jackson
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: Dart is going to take like you did last year,
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: you're going to be out of the league in three years.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: For three years though, well, I mean him and cav Scatabu.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: I had Jerry Ferrara on my pod the other day
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: and I said to him, I said, those guys would
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: have been perfect on Entourage, like they were perfect, perfect
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: Entourage cameos and then some. So I think there's an
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: infusion of energy with the Giants, but I think it's
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: super crucial, and I know this goes for a lot
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: of teams that I'm being mister cliche on you. They
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: need to nail this draft. They need to get one
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: or two big time players, and the one thing they
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: cannot do in my opinion, as much as I may
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: love Jeremiah Love and I went to Notre Dame Stadium
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: in November, he ran for two hundred and fifty yards
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: basically on Syracuse. He could have ran for six hundred
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: yards against Syracuse if they actually let him play.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: For four quarters.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: He's great, But I am not taking a running back
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: with a top five pick in the draft. The Giants
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: been there, done that, can't do it. Too many needs
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: on defense, killed downs, Sonny styles. I don't care who
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: it is, do not take a running back at five.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: So if you do that and you get the bump
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: from the head coach, I think the Giants can be
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: that classic trendy upward mobility team next year. They're not
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: a legit contender, but I think they can be a
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: lot more fun and maybe if things go right.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Getting to the postseason, Kramits will tell you I'm all
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: over the Giants for the next season. Every single future
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: we gave out. I was all over the Giants even
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: before the Harball higher. But my thing here is it
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: kind of seems with when you look at what the
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: books are saying, that five and a half seems to
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: be firm for Jeremiah Love, which means I think that
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: the Titans have clearly moved past probably drafting him and
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: are looking elsewhere. And if you look at what the
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Giants kind of are leaning towards, it looks like Caleb Downs.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Maybe you know, Harbaugh's trying to find his Kyle Hamilton situation.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe for the Giants, but the thing.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Is I think that that's probably a bit of a
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: reach at that slot. Are you leaning that they're probably
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: going to go Caleb Downs or do you do you
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: like someone else in that slot? Just because obviously information
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: is going to come out over the next couple of days,
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: we know that fanomen Do is going to be that
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: first pick. As information comes out, you kind of want
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: to be the first person to get ahead of it
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: to get a good market. Are you sold on the
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: Caleb Downs Kyle Hamilton saying? Or are you okay if
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: they go with somebody else?
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: So that's been my thought all along, Kendra. I do
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: think they're very different players with what Kyle Hamilton brings
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: to the table and what Caleb Downs everywhere.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah you can't, you can't. Yeah, you can't mimic.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: You can't duplicate that.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: But there's an argument to be made that Caleb Downs
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: the best player in the draft and there's a need
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: for the Giants there, and you know, normally I'm.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: On that camp. By the way, I've I've styles.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: I'm okay if they end up with Sonny Styles, but
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: I would take Caleb Downs. If you're if you're asking me, JJ,
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: you're the GM of the Giants. You're sitting there at five,
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: both guys are on the board for you. What's this selection?
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: It's Caleb Downs cause you know what, I know. I
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: could put them in my secondary. I know Harbaugh and
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: that staff is going to get the most out of them,
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: and I go to work.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I love those guys that I look at and say,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: there's the here's a good chance that he's gonna be great.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: There's a zero percent chance Caleb Downs is a bad player.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: I totally agree, totally.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: Now, to be fair on this, would we all agree
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: that we think Jeremiah Love is gonna have an outstanding
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: NFL career.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: I literally in our show the other day said that
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: he's one of those players.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: I don't care where he goes.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: He could go to the freaking Cleveland Browns, and I
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: have faith in his ability.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: I think he's really good. I'm in agreement. I just
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: think the Giants can't go down that road again. They
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: did it Brandon a few years ago.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Apart, they're in a better spot now than they were
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: when they took Sakuwon Barkley. But I would tend to
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: agree with that you can be a great running back
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: for a bad team. Christian McCaffrey. It's not like he
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: burst onto the scene for San Francisco. He was already
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: great in Carolina. It didn't fucking matter because he was
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: on a bad team. But I think this Giants team
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: is with harball and if darts Ables stay healthy, they
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: and Malik neighbors, let's not forget about him making his
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: way back. And well that just for my dynasty purposes
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: of really hoping they don't take Jeremiah Love. But I
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: don't think it would be a disaster if they took Love,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I guess, is what I'm trying to say. But I
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: could agree I wouldn't do that if I were them.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: The problem is they have so many needs on defense,
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: That's what And I think that's the strength of the
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: top of the draft outside of Mendoza precisely. That to
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: me is where you can go and get yourself a
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: cornerstone on that side of the ball.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: So that's what I would do.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: So would you say, and you know, ten out of
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: ten scenarios, you're the draft for need, not for the
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: best player on the board type.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: Nah.
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: I think I'm best player on the board type more
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: often than not. But I would make the argument Caleb
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: Downs for the Giants would be the best player on
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: the board.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: That's super fair. That's fair. Are your Giants over Jets?
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Neither?
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: Actually now I talk about both fairly, honestly, passionately.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: But as you can see behind me is Snoopy.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I see Dolphins at.
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: Snoopy and I got Dann Marinosh.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Your Dolphins tickets.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: Key talk to me, John hold On, Brandon, you're a
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Dolphin guy.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I am long time suffering.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: I love that I got to give you guys the
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: lay of the land here. For me, it is a
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: lot of fun to be a New York Dolphin fan
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: from this standpoint. So when I'm walking around town, obviously
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: I'm a big Yankee guy and I'm a big nick guy.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: You have that collectively with the city.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: But when the Dolphins were going really good, I know
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: that sounds crazy, but actually was the case twenty twenty
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: two and especially in twenty twenty three during the regular season,
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: before they would play elite teams, before they would go
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: and get themselves in you know, big spots.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: And full flat on their way they changed before. It's
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: freezing cold. When I'm walking around.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: New York, like with the hood on miserable, hating everything.
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: When I have them doing well, it's like my baby.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: You know, I can I can walk around and my
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: Dolphin gear. It's fun. And like I see, like everybody
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: like miserable and I got my team like it's my baby.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: So like I said this to be all the time.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: If I gotta have one of my teams win a championship,
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: everyone's like, well, who you want to be the next?
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: Now the Knicks are playing, So I know that's a
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: tough answer, but a Dolphin super Bowl would be more
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: than me than any of the teams I root for.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Without questions, Okay, are you Rangers or Islanders? And if
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: you had to say right now.
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: As Kendrick confession, I hate to be fraudulent with hockey.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Here's why I don't. I'm casual Rangers. I'm casual Rangers.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: But like for me to put hockey in the same
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: like breath as Yankees, Knicks, Dolphins and I went to cues,
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: So like that to me is my other team like
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: more basketball and football. I would say there's probably more
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: passion for me coming out of Syracuse basketball because like
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: when I was.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: There, they were really really good. They were really really
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: good in a fixture in the tournament for a long time.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: I know it's been a while five years. Don't get
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: me started. Hopefully Jerry mcnamata changes that next year. But
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: Jual Rangers. But I can't put them in the same sentence.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: It's not fair. I don't want to do that, you know.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: I hate to bring it to you, John. I believe
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: that both of us will be dead and in the
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: ground by the time the Dolphins win a Super Bowl.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: You know what.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: You observe that.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: I've accepted that too. But let's let's set the bar
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: super well. It's like me on the golf course. You
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: set the bar super low, and then you go and
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: exceed expectations.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: How about a playoff win before in the ground? How
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: about that way before in the crowd I was.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: I was at the last playoff win for the Miami Dolphins.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: I was in Jack miss the field goal, Lamar Smith,
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: J Tayler, h James McKnight, around Manning.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: The Dolphins beat Peyton Manning with Jay Fiedler, my favorite
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Jewish quarterback, and then.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: I proceeded to get absolutely steamrolled by the Raiders.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: I think they lost like thirty one nothing.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: Uh, Kendra, you know the dogpharss like, no, no, no, I'm
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: gonna give Kendra. I know she's a Jags fan. Sixty
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: two seven. Dan Marino's last game is quite possibly the
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: worst football game I've ever watched in my life and
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: the most depressing football game I've ever watched in my life.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: So there's that.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: I've seen some pretty bad Jags games, especially in person.
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: I was like a fetus when Dan Reno was playing,
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: So that's okay.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: I mean I was a little I was a little kid,
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: so it's all fair game. Did you you're up in
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: Boston and you're a Jags fan. Did you go to
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: that AFC Championship game or were you not living there.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: At that point in twenty seventeen.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't live here yet, but I moved up
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: the year after, and I have been at every single
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: matchup since. And I think the worst loss I witnessed
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: in person was probably two years ago in Buffalo.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: They got Going to.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Buffalo is miserable. I hate it. I hate it.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I'll never go back.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: I got a tatoo in a van at a tailgate,
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: I drank a beer out of a prosthetic leg.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: And I brought through a table. Did you do that too.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: I jumped through so many tables and collors. That was
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: not a novelty.
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: So wow, your brave soul. So that's not just a
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: bills thing. That's like a big sec tailgate thing. Yeah,
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: oh yeah, see, you guys are brave.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: I now you get a couple of cocktails in me.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: Who knows? You never know?
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know our producer.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: I have videos of me jumping through a table that
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: I will send our producer.
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: And how'd you feel afterwards?
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Awesome? I'm crazy though, like I yeah, I don't really
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: have fears.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: We actually were talking the other day on our show,
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: which like reality TV show, you think you would be
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: the most successful at and group group consensus.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: I think fear factor would be for sure.
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: I used to think Jeopardy and now I come back
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: every now and again and put it on, and I've
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: gotten dumber and dumber.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: I mean I got the metch yesterday. That's all you
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: need to.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Know, right, I mean, you know you're getting old and
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: stupid when you start getting better at Wheel of Fortune
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: right now after Oh.
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly. That used to be the game. Oh this
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: is easy Now it's like, yeah, I need I need
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: to pick me up.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: I know, I know, we want to get back to football.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: But who do you think is more likely to win
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: a championship? First, the Yankees or the.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: Next That's a great, great question, great great question. I'm
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: gonna say the Yankees because they have pitching that could
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: absolutely propel them, and that's always a great equal lives.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: They're in a short series.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: The prom in the NBA, the better team, more often
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: than not, is gonna win a seven game series.
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: The history of the.
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: League tells us exactly that. The Dodgers, I use that
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: as an example, they'd be favored over the Yankees. They
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: easily could have lost, not could have They should have
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: lost the World Series last year at Toronto Blue Jays, right, they.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Should have lost the World Series. So Judge has big postseason.
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: Paul Freed, Schlittler, Rodan, I would say the Yankees. Now
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: fits the Yankees win the World Series. Nicks get to
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: the NBA Finals. Might answered that a little differently.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: But that was not the questions.
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: Nick super You know what, Kendra, I love that because
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: think about it, he grew up there, he probably got
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: drafted by the Yankees.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: He had to hear every kid.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: In his neighborhood talk all the shit in the world,
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: and he got to send a Red Sox packing. So
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: when he came home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, just just
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: imagine the walk exactly. That's what I'd be doing. I'd
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: be like, Hey, did you see that game October? All strikeouts?
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: How'd your boys do? How'd your boys?
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: You gotta talk to shit, you know, John. Let's put
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: our money where our mouths are. Our DraftKings plant the
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: flag flat it.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: Shut up.
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to plant my flag here.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're really planning your flag in that deck. New
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: York Knicks related that for the postseason presented by DraftKings,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: the crown is Yours could be Nix, Hawks could be
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: a Knicks few, you're anything in that realm. Kendro, we
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: will start with.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: You, I think, since we have pretty much the same bet,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: you have to put your money where your mouth is
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: for the Knicks to make the Eastern Conference and say
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: it with your chest.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: That they're gonna beat the C's.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: But for me personally, I'm gonna say this series over
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: five and a half game is minus one sixty.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: That's where I'm gonna plant my flag.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: I think the next will win this series and six.
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: But I feel like that's a boring bet. I gotta
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: come along and have some fun. I'm taking a next
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: to win the conference because I've said all along I
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: think they're going to the NBA Finals this year, and
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: the take I've had thro route is that they'll get to.
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: The NBA Finals and it will be an.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Ugly pay Can I just bully you into doing that?
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: Listen, it's a bet I've already made, so no bullying,
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: no bullying necessary. That said, I'm sticking to it. NIXT
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: to win the Eastern Conference. That's what we're planning.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: The flag plus four point fifty on the Knicks to
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: come out of the Eastern Conference.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: I when you originally made.
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: It, I got a couple of weeks ago.
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: It's a little bit better in that, a little bit
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: better when we're going to a rough patch. I want
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: to say it was like five and change. Yeah, it's
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: probably not the highest of the market, but like you know,
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: it's they've kind of been in that same like ballpark
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: basically all year.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: They were a little higher at.
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: The beginning of the year, then they kind of dipped
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: with Detroit sort of rise, and then the numbers really
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: got thrown out of whack rack where I can't even
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: say that with a straight face. Uh, the minute Jason
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: Tatum came back and really looked like Jason Tatum.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the preseason NBA numbers can be tough because so
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: much can change and you don't only get caught with
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: a Oh, Brunson's done for the year. I'm sitting on
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: this and it was no.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: And it was no value at the beginning. That's why
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: it was a hard pass for me.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: At that plenty plenty of hype for them. I'm actually
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: gonna look the way of the Hawks is that I'm
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: I think I'm setting the rules here. So but I'm
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: gonna ask you guys, if that's a lowed I'm gonna
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: go with the Hawks bet on that loss series, Why
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: not good with that? I'm gonna go with It's our show.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Kendro shout out to Stuck. You hope he's enjoying vacation
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: as well. Nikil Alexander Walker series leader in threes at
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: minus one oh five. The Knicks struggle to defend the
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: three point line. That's one of the big advantages Atlanta
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: has in the series. I did bet the Hawks at
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: plus two fifty five to win. I can't say with
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: my whole chest that it's my favorite bet. I just
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: think it's I just think it's miss priced. This is
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: one that I expect to absolutely win. The most predictable
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: thing in this series is that Nikkeil Alexander Walker is
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: going to jack up some threes. Most attempted threes per
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: game of anybody that's in this series. He's attempted eight
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: per game, and that number has ticked up every single
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: time he's played the Knicks. He's gonna above his season
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: average on three point attempts. So I think him knocking
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: down the most threes in this series at minus one
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: ozho five best bet.
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: I like that bet.
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: And he torched the Knicks and they played a couple
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: of weeks ago on a Monday night. That's a good bet,
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: my dad, I can tell you on that, because if
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: I tell you on it, Nick still win the series.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: Everybody wins.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: So yeah, exactly, I think they're happy to say, go ahead,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: you do your thing. We're just not gonna let Jalen Johnson,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: C J McCollum kill us, you know, Ni Kiel, Alexander Walker,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Jack's up fifteen three is a game, and then the
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Hawks still lose the series and I have that phenomenal
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: CLV bet.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's a good look for your other Hawks future.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: I think I'm all am. I all in on the
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: city of Atlanta. I was gonna say, you're.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: Going to get real estate? There is that, like, uh,
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: where we're looking to go?
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Because I guess you just take a Braves future for
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: the NL East while I'm at.
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: It, just fill you know, I chicken down. Really, I'm
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: really mad. I didn't bet that because.
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: I like them all winter and then I saw they
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: starting pitching and I was like, oh, this is going
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: to be a problem. And now I've watched the Mets
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: in the Phillies play and the Braves offense looks really good.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but what.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: Could have been?
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I took their season under on wins, so you don't
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: feel good about that. It's going to go up in Flames.
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: I took.
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: I took Cleveland like I do every year, and it's
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: already Cleveland is I just won't learn.
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: I won't learn.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: You fade, you fade the the al Central in the playoffs,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: John correct, But you know what it is.
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: I like Kansas City this year. I like Kansas City.
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: I was like, Detroit's going to be good again. Cleveland's
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: got to have a year where a stink. Now Cleveland
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: never stinks. They're always like above average.
