• 1:25
  I don't know what it is. All right, so let's just dive into it.
• 1:28
  The big one of the weekend, I mean, there's a lot of big ones of the weekend,
• 1:32
  but for me, it was the Matt McClung, the historic three-peat.
• 1:37
  I mean, and this is a white boy. This is a white boy winning the dunk contest,
• 1:42
  which, I mean, I try not to see anything through color, but I mean,
• 1:46
  that to me is kind of crazy that he's winning the dunk contest three years in a row.
• 1:51
  It is what it is, but let's just take a look at it real quick.
• 1:54
  And I mean, if you, if you caught any of it, it was just bananas. It was crazy.
• 2:01
  Going over the car, the big part of the hood, which is awesome.
• 2:05
  Nope. Not many people can do that. I don't think I could.
• 2:10
  I mean, he made a couple amazing ones. This was the one that stood out the most
• 2:14
  to me, which was just crazy.
• 2:16
  All right. So Matt McClung winning the dunk contest. I don't know.
• 2:21
  So I've been in hibernation for with basketball for a while now.
• 2:25
  So it's been kind of, it's kind of weird for me talking about it,
• 2:28
  but I mean, I, like I said last week, I am a player, player driven person.
• 2:33
  And if the guys that are out on the court that can bring people to the game,
• 2:38
  which, which is us, which is awesome.
• 2:40
  I mean, that that's the one that's going to put like butts in the seats and
• 2:43
  eyes like glued onto to it.
• 2:45
  A guy like this doing this three years in a row. And then what was,
• 2:48
  what topped it all off for me?
• 2:50
  He wins it, humble about it. And he gives all glory to God, which was awesome.
• 2:56
  He gives all glory to God.
• 2:57
  And then he's, they're saying, are you going to come back next year?
• 3:00
  He says, I think I'm done.
• 3:02
  We'll just see. I'll sit back to have some time to think about it.
• 3:05
  If people want me back enough, I'll, I'll, I'll think about it,
• 3:08
  which, Hey, you know, I mean, it's awesome somebody win the dunk contest,
• 3:13
  but I mean, like to challenge, like, cause they're like, some of the announcers
• 3:16
  were like saying to Vince Carter, who was also on the panel as well.
• 3:20
  Cause you could arguably say Vince Carter, all time best dunker ever. You could say that.
• 3:25
  I mean, I always lean towards Michael Jordan. Cause I'm a little biased as the best,
• 3:29
  best all time dunker, but this guy on the panel was saying to Vince Carter,
• 3:34
  he's challenging you as the saying about this Mac McClung like I don't know
• 3:40
  could this be something that to draw people back into NBA it definitely could
• 3:44
  not hurt it's that it's actually bringing me back can I think the NBA has a
• 3:48
  lot of things to improve a lot of things to work on and to make it a place that is.
• 3:54
  Like it was, bring it back to like early 2000s and even 90s.
• 3:59
  I mean, like there was something in those moments in that time and time period,
• 4:04
  which was just, it was different. It's a lot different than it is today.
• 4:09
  Today. It's, it's, I don't know. It is just, it is that political.
• 4:14
  It's, it got political and nasty in the NFL got political and nasty for a while,
• 4:19
  but then they backed off and they understood like they're not
• 4:22
  going to go the like the crazy direction like
• 4:25
  Bud Light did you know and completely destroy their brand I think Bud Light
• 4:29
  is coming back whatever you can think about what you think about that I think
• 4:32
  it's trying to kind of like fix everything bandage itself up and make it America's
• 4:37
  drink again but you can say like the NFL was smart enough to like,
• 4:42
  let's not completely ostracize more than half of the country that just believes
• 4:49
  in good, wholesome values and cares about our country is patriotic.
• 4:55
  Don't freaking kneel for the national anthem. I mean, if you're anybody out
• 4:59
  there, don't kneel for the national anthem. That's stupid.
• 5:02
  Don't do that. I mean, that makes me almost want to throw up so many times,
• 5:07
  especially our Olympic athletes go out there and they're representing our country
• 5:11
  and they're kneeling. What do you think about that? I don't know.
• 5:14
  I, as you can see, I have pretty strong opinions about that,
• 5:17
  but quickly moving forward, the Daytona 500, Donald Trump makes an appearance at the Daytona.
• 5:23
  He went to the Superbowl, which people argued about. Like, I don't know why
• 5:26
  that's such a, such a big deal.
• 5:28
  Him, the seated, seated president going to the Superbowl. I mean, he's a man of the people.
• 5:32
  He goes to the Daytona 500, you know, the hard, hard working class individuals that are out there.
• 5:38
  And he, he puts his face out there and he, you know,
• 5:41
  He's saying, this is a good, this is, this is what America is about.
• 5:45
  You know, NASCAR, I want to get more into it. I'm like not in it as much as
• 5:48
  I'd like to be. There's a lot of things I'd like to be more into.
• 5:51
  And NASCAR is actually one of them.
• 5:53
  And knowing what is actually happening.
• 5:55
  Why is it so, what are the storylines that are going on in NASCAR?
• 6:00
  Because to me, if you just sit back, it's just, it's loud. People are looking
• 6:04
  for explosions, looking for crashes.
• 6:07
  And who are these, who are these like guys driving?
• 6:11
  Who are they? Because, I mean, you don't see them that much.
• 6:14
  You don't see they're they got they're in a car and they they got helmets on.
• 6:18
  You don't know who they are.
• 6:19
  And they all kind of blend together. They all kind of run together like what?
• 6:22
  Like there's there's so much more happening that like a NASCAR fellow out there
• 6:26
  that knows a lot about this stuff.
• 6:28
  Like going into the pit stop, is that like there's a lot of things happening
• 6:32
  that we just like take for granted.
• 6:33
  We're sitting back like, why can't they just fix a car and set it on its way?
• 6:37
  But as like it is like a well-oiled machine that is like out there these guys they're just going,
• 6:44
  and then like a lot of these crew members they don't even get any like
• 6:47
  accolades any praise you know they're just guys they're like the offensive line
• 6:51
  of the best team in the NFL that's like we don't we don't recognize who they
• 6:55
  are but I mean there's a lot more than just that face that person but the person
• 7:00
  that won it was William Byron I'd like to learn more about this guy he he seems pretty interesting.
• 7:06
  So William Byron takes home the Daytona 500. Who was your favorite?
• 7:10
  I mean, I just, I think of, you know, the Dell Earnhardt's juniors and Dell
• 7:14
  Earnhardt, you know, like I'm like, I think about those guys.
• 7:17
  There's faces of NASCAR that like stand out to me.
• 7:21
  And it's, it's nice to see when a new face or like somebody that I'm in,
• 7:26
  maybe William Byron's probably not a new face.
• 7:29
  I, as you can see, I'm like not as
• 7:30
  fluent in NASCAR as I am in some other sports, which I would love to be.
• 7:35
  But like, it is, you want to say, I need a face. I need a face to the sport
• 7:39
  to like connect it and know how like,
• 7:43
  That's what's going to bring people. That's what's going to bring more of the
• 7:45
  audience and like reach across the lines. So Donald Trump going there,
• 7:48
  I think that was I think that was a pretty good deal as well.
• 7:52
  They have a lot of courage doing this. I see it. I've been here and they have
• 7:56
  a lot of they have a lot of guts, as they would say.
• 7:59
  Mr. President, enjoy your time. Thank you very much. And then.
• 8:03
  All right. We'll quickly move forward to I mean, you could like I went back
• 8:07
  and forth, went back and forth. Matt McClung and the USA-Canada situation.
• 8:13
  Were you all following this? What was happening?
• 8:16
  This, it started out with Canada booing our national anthem.
• 8:23
  And I know, I mean, people that are at a sports game, you would think that they
• 8:29
  are the ones that, like, they're the boots on the ground.
• 8:31
  People that, like, kind of get it. And if that's what people in Canada are getting,
• 8:36
  and booing our national anthem, I mean, are you upset a bit against Trump?
• 8:40
  Are you upset against tariffs? Are you upset against 51st state?
• 8:46
  I mean, there's a lot there and I don't, I love Canada.
• 8:51
  I think, I wasn't planning on going on this, but I think some of the funnest
• 8:57
  people come out of Canada.
• 8:58
  Like, I always go to the best actors, the funniest actors, you know? I mean, I go to funny.
• 9:06
  It's like the funniest. If you think of a superstar, funny actor,
• 9:09
  or even a pot, like a singer, you know, I go Bieber, Bieber, baby.
• 9:14
  Who I love, you know, these guys are Canadian. These guys who came out of their,
• 9:18
  I don't know what they got in the water up in Canada that is able to put out such like,
• 9:24
  like, if you think of somebody funny that you love and love to watch,
• 9:28
  and that just drives you to the movies, there's probably a 90% chance that that actor is Canadian.
• 9:35
  For some reason, I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is.
• 9:38
  I've always said the best actors come out of Canada.
• 9:42
  The best storylines come out out of the UK for some reason, but they all do
• 9:48
  it and they make, they just, they put it on the, on, on set and they make it happen.
• 9:53
  You make it happen in the United States. So it's this, this three-way,
• 9:57
  this three-way matrix that is just happening before our eyes,
• 10:02
  you know, but we cannot forget that Canada is amazing.
• 10:05
  And there are neighbors to the North, you know, they could be our brothers,
• 10:09
  Americans, you know, come on,
• 10:10
  become Americans, you know, become that 51st state? Is that controversial?
• 10:15
  Do you disagree with that? Do you not want Canada to be a 51st state?
• 10:18
  If you're Canadian, do you disagree with wanting to be a 51st state?
• 10:22
  Is that just a political grenade just lobbed out there by Donald Trump,
• 10:27
  just throwing it out there and people don't want anything to do with it?
• 10:30
  Or is it something that could legitimately happen?
• 10:34
  I don't know. We'll see. There's a lot there, a lot to unpack.
• 10:37
  A lot to unpack. But the USA, They beat Canada, you know, on the brightest stage
• 10:44
  when things were happening that, I don't even know how to describe it. Like those...
• 10:50
  The fans booing, and then Canada goes off to an early lead.
• 10:55
  They take the 1-0 lead, and it seems like USA could just kind of,
• 10:58
  oh, we can't actually do this. This isn't our sport. This isn't our thing.
• 11:03
  We're in overheads, but heck no.
• 11:05
  They got into three fights in the first 10 minutes, and they just knocked Canada
• 11:10
  off their rocker and just went at them at their sport.
• 11:15
  Because you could argue hockey is Canada's sport, but it made me feel like I
• 11:21
  don't want to feel like prideful because, you know.
• 11:25
  Pride comes before a fall, but it's tough, you know, because because I think
• 11:29
  we can be, you know, into our country, you know, patriotic.
• 11:33
  And I think we should be. I think that in itself is biblical.
• 11:35
  You should be patriotic for your country.
• 11:38
  You know, there is that sense, you know, pray for your nation,
• 11:41
  pray for the good of your nation.
• 11:43
  And so, but there's a lot there. I don't know what you all think about all that.
• 11:47
  It's, it is controversial in a sense, because I don't want to at all be like,
• 11:51
  oh, I'm American, American.
• 11:54
  We're so awesome. You know, we are, we're the Kings of the planet.
• 11:57
  Whereas we're not that. And if
• 11:59
  we start being like that, there will be a humbling, a very huge humbling.
• 12:04
  So we got to be aware of that, but it's still, I think we still should be patriotic
• 12:08
  and like proud of our boys out there, whether it's our veterans,
• 12:12
  our war, our fighters that are just on the front line in other countries,
• 12:16
  just protecting our countries, our soldiers,
• 12:18
  or even our sports teams that are out there, you know,
• 12:21
  not bending the knee in our national anthem, but proud of our country and doing
• 12:26
  amazing things for our country.
• 12:28
  Good job, USA, you know, hockey team, way to go.
• 12:32
  You did amazing. You represented, you did a great job, you know,
• 12:35
  be proud of that, you know?
• 12:37
  So we'll leave it at that. I hope you all have a wonderful day and a wonderful
• 12:42
  week as we get it, as we get going, you know, as we get going. All right. Peace.
• 12:47
