The Knicks Are Doing Some Sh** We've Never Seen Before · The Regulars

• 0:00
  Welcome one, welcome all, there's been some technical issues and you better believe it's
• 0:13
  my fault because that's the way life goes.
• 0:16
  Welcome to The Wrecking Crews, I'm Toby Cracker.
• 0:19
  I'm Tanya Rae Fox and I, you got ahead of it, I told him ahead of the show that I was
• 0:23
  like, I'm going to tell on you, I'm going to tell on you to the audience.
• 0:26
  You ever see the movie Clue?
• 0:28
  Yeah.
• 0:29
  I was going to expose you, I saw that.
• 0:31
  So I decided to expose myself, please, there are ladies present.
• 0:36
  And yeah, so you clued me, Cody lost the SD card.
• 0:41
  Yeah, that's a little weird, the SD card which has all of our multimedia on it and like all
• 0:45
  of our pre-packaged videos, all that stuff, cannot find it.
• 0:49
  No idea where it goes, so I started uploading things onto a new SD card which I couldn't
• 0:53
  find opening credits.
• 0:54
  I mean I can, I just needed more than three minutes.
• 0:57
  Right.
• 0:58
  All right, guys, it's a great week, everything's fine.
• 1:00
  It seems like the motif of the show for the last couple of weeks continues.
• 1:04
  When I was adding our shows, because I'm now going to actually keep up with putting our
• 1:08
  episodes on Apple and Spotify now that I have it all worked out.
• 1:11
  Look at us go.
• 1:12
  We're good.
• 1:13
  And so I was adding some shows last night and there's like an uncontrollable AI thing
• 1:18
  in there that like just recaps your show.
• 1:20
  And it was pretty funny, it was like the headline of that episode was, everything's great, colon
• 1:28
  whatever we talked about.
• 1:29
  Yeah.
• 1:30
  Everything's great.
• 1:31
  You said it so much that AI was like, so there's a running motif of this show.
• 1:34
  So everything must be great, but did it really specify this sarcasm?
• 1:38
  Yes, it did.
• 1:39
  Okay, good, good.
• 1:40
  It picked up on like the thing that I know.
• 1:41
  Look at that, AI, they really are learning in an exponential rate.
• 1:44
  That's fantastic.
• 1:45
  Horrifying.
• 1:46
  But yeah, so how has your week been so far?
• 1:48
  Mine's been, oh, by the way, I got some cool stuff coming up I want to tell you about.
• 1:52
  Oh, please.
• 1:53
  So yesterday we had Dave Roberts on the show, which was great.
• 1:56
  I love that.
• 1:57
  Thank you for setting it up with Doc.
• 1:58
  Next week on the morning show, we're going to have Dr. Dre on.
• 2:02
  Okay.
• 2:03
  I'm like all fired up about that.
• 2:04
  I mean, forget about Dre, let's go.
• 2:07
  Let's go.
• 2:08
  Robin sales weren't doing so good.
• 2:09
  Who's the doctor they told you to go see?
• 2:10
  Dude, let's go.
• 2:11
  You're going to rap to him and just like that?
• 2:12
  Dude, acting like I don't got guns?
• 2:13
  What do you think I did, sold them all?
• 2:14
  No, I love it.
• 2:15
  Let's go.
• 2:16
  Dr. Dre.
• 2:17
  I listen to that one a lot at the gym.
• 2:21
  That's like a big gym.
• 2:23
  It's a good one.
• 2:24
  Yeah.
• 2:25
  It's a good one.
• 2:26
  I like it.
• 2:27
  It's really cool.
• 2:28
  I, um, I very, every time I see there's a couple like certain celebrity follows that
• 2:32
  I've gotten where I like really latch onto it.
• 2:34
  I'm like, okay, you know, and so you're a celebrity.
• 2:36
  I saw the videos from DC.
• 2:38
  Yeah.
• 2:39
  And then also, um, I, one day I opened up my Instagram and it said that method man had
• 2:44
  followed me and I was like, by the way, he's the reason your, your Nick's one last night.
• 2:50
  So my next, um, you're a fan.
• 2:53
  But I was like, so I went to his page and I was like, I almost had to like double check
• 2:57
  that it said follow back.
• 2:58
  Like I was like, is he really following me or is that an accident?
• 3:01
  Right.
• 3:02
  So he was following me and he only followed like 170 something people at the time.
• 3:05
  I don't know how many, this was like two months ago.
• 3:08
  So every time I see anything about method man, I call him my close personal friend method
• 3:11
  man.
• 3:12
  Best friends.
• 3:13
  Yeah.
• 3:14
  And ever since Spike Lee, Spike Lee commented on one of my like threads a couple months
• 3:17
  ago.
• 3:18
  So he's also my close personal.
• 3:19
  We've been actually, it's funny.
• 3:20
  My producer Raj has his number and we've been trying to cold call him, hasn't worked yet,
• 3:25
  but we're going to keep trying.
• 3:26
  I have Woj's number and I always think about trying to call Woj too.
• 3:29
  I'm like, I feel like he might answer.
• 3:31
  Like an old Woj bomb.
• 3:32
  You never go.
• 3:33
  Um, so yeah, we got a lot to cover and, uh, plenty of time, quite frankly, unlimited time
• 3:39
  to really cover it, but let's just get right into it.
• 3:41
  Let's go with headline number one, because Tanya last night might've been the most bat
• 3:48
  shit insane.
• 3:51
  Forget basketball game game I've ever watched.
• 3:54
  And here's the funny thing.
• 3:55
  And I, and I'll show you proof that it's actually happened when it was halftime.
• 3:58
  I sent a text to a group thread.
• 4:01
  I don't like this.
• 4:02
  I don't feel good.
• 4:03
  I don't feel good at all.
• 4:04
  They're up by 26 points.
• 4:05
  Yet somehow I'm like, I feel like I've seen this story.
• 4:07
  I don't feel good one bit.
• 4:09
  Then it got down to 15 and for the fourth quarter, once it got down to 15, I resent that
• 4:13
  text.
• 4:14
  I'm like fucking Knicks are winning.
• 4:15
  The Knicks are going to win this fucking game.
• 4:18
  And then me and you started texting because I was still waiting to see if this was real.
• 4:22
  Yeah.
• 4:23
  Cause I'm like, it was in the inkling in the back of my mind, I'm like, is this really
• 4:25
  going to fucking happen?
• 4:26
  I know it really fucking happened, man.
• 4:29
  And you want the most amazing thing about it.
• 4:30
  And this is a, this is a real thing that I just can't get past because there is a real,
• 4:34
  real argument here that the Spurs should have already swept this.
• 4:37
  I don't know if there's a real argument, but there is.
• 4:41
  There is.
• 4:42
  Okay.
• 4:43
  I'll I'm willing to hear what you got.
• 4:44
  Okay.
• 4:45
  Spurs led by 14.
• 4:46
  Knicks won that game.
• 4:48
  Game two Spurs led by 12.
• 4:50
  Knicks won that game.
• 4:51
  Game three Spurs win game four.
• 4:54
  Spurs are leading by 20 fucking nine.
• 4:59
  Knicks won that game.
• 5:00
  It's three, one Knicks Spurs should have swept this.
• 5:02
  So I will say Spurs should have swept the series is a, is a take I would accept against
• 5:09
  any team, but the Knicks, like I think we have to accept that the Knicks actually play
• 5:14
  this way to the point where these leads are almost like built into this style of play.
• 5:19
  Maybe they are genuinely, because what is happening is that Mike Brown is, he's like
• 5:25
  an adjustment wizard, right?
• 5:26
  We talk about this a lot in NFL, but we don't talk about it quite as much in the NBA because
• 5:31
  it doesn't usually happen as much in the NBA NBA systems are generally a little bit more
• 5:35
  static.
• 5:36
  Like this is the system you play and you play and it works.
• 5:37
  And it's just not that they don't make adjustments, but it's just not the same.
• 5:41
  Mike Brown coaches the NBA, like he's coaching the fucking NFL and he'll like game to game
• 5:47
  will make specific adjustments going small with Jose Alvarado was like brilliant.
• 5:51
  And I think part of what they do is they use the comfort of, because you can't actually,
• 5:58
  you can't actually build in immediacy and a sense of urgency when you're up 15, 20,
• 6:05
  25, 30 points, it's very hard to feel the urgency.
• 6:10
  And so, especially for a very young team, they don't have like 22 years old.
• 6:14
  So the Knicks exploit that there's like, so it's like they wouldn't be winning if they
• 6:20
  hadn't been down.
• 6:21
  It's a very weird, no, no, no.
• 6:23
  You're not wrong.
• 6:24
  There is a feeling where that's like, they're not comfortable unless they are.
• 6:27
  It's like Seabiscuit.
• 6:28
  Yeah.
• 6:29
  Seabiscuit.
• 6:30
  He's like, you got to let it get a pull them back to let them look in the eye of war Admiral
• 6:34
  and then he'll really take off.
• 6:36
  And that's what the fucking Knicks are.
• 6:37
  Goddamn Seabiscuit, which makes sense.
• 6:39
  I got a small fucking star.
• 6:40
  They should call them the Seabiscuit Knicks.
• 6:42
  They should, except their fans are assaulting everyone humanly possible, including Wembley.
• 6:46
  It was 15 fans, idiot fans like that.
• 6:49
  I am.
• 6:50
  So I don't care.
• 6:51
  What about the ones that assaulted Wembley last night?
• 6:54
  Which who assaulted Wembley?
• 6:55
  Did you not see this?
• 6:56
  What did they do?
• 6:57
  So the Knicks fans surrounded the hotel for the Spurs players as they were coming into
• 7:01
  the game.
• 7:02
  That's what it was.
• 7:03
  Okay.
• 7:04
  I did see multiple things thrown at Wembley, including one that hit the back of his head
• 7:06
  as he was going into the end of the thing.
• 7:08
  Security had to pull him inside.
• 7:10
  Now this is for sure something that happened in the last night.
• 7:13
  It's not AI.
• 7:14
  No.
• 7:15
  Okay.
• 7:16
  I'm not saying that it would happen.
• 7:17
  I'm so I'm scarred by it.
• 7:19
  I recently used an AI picture by accident for the first time in one of my, my videos.
• 7:24
  And of course it's like an extremely viral video and it's a like a very not good.
• 7:31
  And so I'm, I'm sensitive.
• 7:33
  But okay.
• 7:34
  Regardless, I still like, I, I just, these, I, I've seen how fat Boston fans have behaved
• 7:42
  Philly fans, uh, Raiders and Niners fans.
• 7:45
  I don't, I just see this shit so often.
• 7:48
  I'm like, yeah, a bunch of shitty fans use this as an excuse.
• 7:52
  These are people who act like this all the time because they're Knicks fans finding reasons,
• 7:58
  but my God, but last night was just, let's get into a little bit more about, about this
• 8:03
  just sort of like historical context.
• 8:05
  So we'll they're up three, one.
• 8:07
  This is officially the biggest comeback in the history of the NBA finals was this game.
• 8:11
  Now, if you were going to, if you were going to ask me if the Knicks were the type of team
• 8:15
  that we're going to have the greatest comeback in the NBA finals before this series, I would
• 8:18
  have said, yeah, that's, it seemed almost like kismet.
• 8:21
  Um, and there's a, we're going to, I'm going to have Mocha bring up a graphic right now
• 8:27
  that kind of illustrates the historical impact and how winning like this basically doesn't
• 8:37
  happen.
• 8:38
  So Mocha, if you want to bring up that tweet, um, the Knicks trailed by 27 points at halftime
• 8:43
  and one, every single other team that trailed by 20 points at halftime and NBA finals history
• 8:48
  ended up being the, uh, losing the game by double digits.
• 8:52
  So you'll see here, this is, this is the list of teams that have been in that deficit,
• 8:59
  a 20 plus point deficit, didn't even have to be 27 points, 20 plus you lose by double
• 9:05
  digits.
• 9:06
  If you're down at any point at halftime or after by double digits, you'll lose by double
• 9:11
  digits.
• 9:12
  If you're, you know what I mean?
• 9:13
  This is not a thing that fucking happens except for the Knicks.
• 9:16
  I mean, this is a stunning thing to look at.
• 9:19
  It's just a stunning graphic to look at.
• 9:20
  And that the stats don't end there, Cody, um, the highest true shooting percentage among
• 9:28
  all players who averaged 20 plus points per game over any four game stretch in the NBA
• 9:32
  finals history, OG and Anobi 78.4 true shooting percentage.
• 9:39
  OG is doing this.
• 9:41
  The people underneath him are magic Johnson, Kawhi Leonard, Ray Allen, Kevin Durant, clay
• 9:45
  Thompson, and Anthony Davis, phenomenal stuff.
• 9:47
  He is fucking, he is playing every OG stat has been nuts and the eye test is obviously
• 9:53
  matching it, but I always love when the eye test is telling us something that is also
• 9:57
  being shown in, in the stat, in the stats as well, the advanced stats and the box.
• 10:02
  Well, the other thing is, it's not even forget all the stats.
• 10:05
  The stats are there.
• 10:06
  They're there.
• 10:07
  I'll never forget the stats, but truly just let's do the eye test last night.
• 10:11
  Let's just sit in here and just take in the historical context of the game because OG
• 10:15
  and Anobi is final play the game where of course, golf of Jalen Brunson's, uh, three
• 10:18
  point, uh, miss, which by the way, I thought it was a jumper.
• 10:22
  No, it was a three pointer.
• 10:23
  He was outside.
• 10:24
  He was actually a little too far.
• 10:25
  It looked like, because he had to shoot what you had to be, had to shoot it over Wemby,
• 10:28
  but the short shot that bounced off the thing, I mean, because there was an extra kiss Fox
• 10:33
  was vacating over there to double team over there, uh, to help Wemby left a wide open
• 10:38
  lane for OG, but here's the thing, OG is tip, which was astonishing, fucking astonishing.
• 10:43
  The ability to be able to get that touch, which was almost behind him at that point
• 10:47
  because he was already jumped in the air and the just, just enough on it.
• 10:51
  Perfect amount to get it in there is just bat shit.
• 10:54
  Astonishing.
• 10:55
  That wasn't even the best play he made in that 10 seconds.
• 10:58
  That's the most amazing thing because everyone seems to forget that it was OG that blocked
• 11:02
  that dip shit layup from De'Aaron Fox.
• 11:05
  And by the way, I'm not one of the people that's saying this is entirely De'Aaron Fox
• 11:09
  is called.
• 11:10
  That being said, De'Aaron Fox became a turnover machine in the fourth quarter with not only
• 11:13
  that layup, which I can understand.
• 11:16
  I can understand when you think you have a fast break and a potential to get a three
• 11:19
  point lead.
• 11:20
  I also know there were six seconds left and that was a mistake.
• 11:26
  That was a, they would, they would have fouled you and you would have taken some foul shots.
• 11:30
  My fucking God, I get it.
• 11:32
  I truly get what you saw in front of you, but fuck, you are actually a veteran guy.
• 11:40
  In conjunction, in comparison to the other players on the team, you gotta fucking know
• 11:43
  that.
• 11:44
  I think there's, I mean, there's a, there's players that are not starters who are older
• 11:47
  than him, but I mean, he is the senior starter and that was just tough to watch.
• 11:53
  I think that the youth of that team will eventually rub off.
• 11:56
  It's very hard to be the guy on a team full of like young athletic, overly talented dudes
• 12:02
  who are, just don't have the same type of system.
• 12:05
  And again, don't, they, this team does not have the same kind of coaching, no shade,
• 12:08
  none at all.
• 12:09
  But like, listen, I don't think Mitch saw himself coaching the NBA finals at the beginning
• 12:13
  of the season.
• 12:14
  Here's the thing.
• 12:15
  I, part of me also understands his decision-making process and also hates it at the same time
• 12:19
  because listen, I understand you guys shot from three at like 70 fucking percent in the
• 12:24
  first half.
• 12:25
  You scored 60, 76 points in the first half, you scored like 20 fucking two in the second
• 12:29
  half.
• 12:30
  The lack of, that's where, you know, the fact that he didn't go away from it.
• 12:34
  And I, and I know this from watching the Celtics, I know this, I know this from watching the
• 12:37
  Celtics because the Celtics suffered from the same issue.
• 12:40
  The fact that they didn't go away from it.
• 12:42
  And Missoula said this because they couldn't, they don't have another plan.
• 12:48
  You and I can look at that team and be like, okay, we can think of a bunch of ways that
• 12:52
  they could have adjusted.
• 12:53
  But the reality is the one problem that Knicks don't have is, I mean, the Spurs don't have
• 12:59
  is not having someone who can help them adjust.
• 13:03
  They have pop.
• 13:04
  They have somebody who's mentoring their young coach.
• 13:07
  If they didn't make an adjustment, it's because they don't have that next gear.
• 13:10
  And that I, it's not to say that I don't think they should have tried something, but I do
• 13:15
  think with a team that young, like when, when we talk about what the Warriors did in their
• 13:19
  like last two, I would say our last two NBA finals, there were so many times where it's
• 13:24
  just like, they just all know what to do.
• 13:28
  So well, they've been in this situation so many times that you can make all the adjustments
• 13:32
  in the world.
• 13:33
  You can make all the adjustments in the world.
• 13:34
  They were down two-oh to the Suns, figured it out and ran the table on that team in the
• 13:38
  NBA finals.
• 13:39
  Like the Spurs don't have that.
• 13:42
  The Knicks do.
• 13:45
  Those are a bunch of veteran dudes.
• 13:47
  Dudes have played on other teams.
• 13:48
  Dudes have seen the NBA playoffs from multiple teams, multiple sides.
• 13:52
  It's so evident.
• 13:53
  And De'Aaron Fox making the mistakes that he did is to me, an element of losing the
• 13:59
  plot because you just don't have the consistency around you.
• 14:03
  I would fight back a little bit on it because I do think there is also an injury aspect
• 14:07
  to De'Aaron Fox right now because he can't really go into the paint the way he normally
• 14:10
  would.
• 14:11
  For instance, Fox had 44 touches in the second half, the most by any Spur, only five, only
• 14:17
  five touched the paint.
• 14:19
  San Antonio scored 0.387 points per chance in his touches.
• 14:25
  That is not good.
• 14:26
  Do you think that that's him trying to avoid the physicality?
• 14:29
  Possibly, but it's also, I don't think he has the speed, which we just saw when he got
• 14:34
  blocked by OG.
• 14:35
  He's just not often in the paint anyway.
• 14:37
  But got to do something.
• 14:38
  This team went eight straight, eight straight, not even passing around, eight straight, just
• 14:44
  getting to the line and shooting.
• 14:47
  And they allowed a 14 point deficit to be erased.
• 14:50
  Like it was batshit.
• 14:52
  And the fact that no one was even dribbling out at any point in that time was wild to
• 14:58
  me.
• 14:59
  Sometimes you just have to admit that like a team just made more mistakes.
• 15:04
  And yeah, like you're right, that De'Aaron Fox, like not make that, that choice was just
• 15:08
  such a, like a rookie move.
• 15:10
  Not to mention the pass to no one he made, to no one there were, there were mistakes.
• 15:14
  There's also, he punted a ball, 19 rows up, Wendy missing both of his free throws in the
• 15:19
  clutch.
• 15:20
  Like there's stuff that's like, you're not going to win a game when that's what's happening.
• 15:24
  While Jalen Brunson is doing what he's doing while OG is doing what he's doing, it's just
• 15:28
  not going to happen.
• 15:29
  I couldn't believe it.
• 15:30
  I'm like, there's no chance he did that 85% all, you can blame the rest, all you want,
• 15:35
  by the way, which is what all Spurs fans want to do, but like the refs didn't miss those
• 15:39
  free throws.
• 15:40
  I'm sorry.
• 15:41
  They didn't sure.
• 15:42
  Did they?
• 15:43
  They didn't not dribble it out.
• 15:44
  They did not cover OG like, let's be fucking for real.
• 15:47
  And this kind of brings me to the next part of this that I want to talk about, which is
• 15:51
  for you, like you were saying, this is one of the craziest games any of us have ever
• 15:54
  watched.
• 15:55
  And the best part about it was we kind of, we kind of felt like it could happen.
• 15:59
  So how does this compare for you to other all time sports comebacks?
• 16:04
  Like when you were sitting there thinking, what was it like, what was it bringing up
• 16:07
  in you?
• 16:08
  Uh, it was not quite the emotion that like, say the Oh four red Sox had, then hear me
• 16:15
  out on that.
• 16:16
  That was coming back from an Oh three deficit.
• 16:17
  And it was that legendary rivalry between the Yankees and the, and the red Sox.
• 16:20
  And also the very, very, very still open wound from Aaron Boone just one year earlier.
• 16:26
  And also full context.
• 16:27
  If you can really put yourself in this headspace, I know it's a little tricky, like 23 years
• 16:32
  after the fact, but not also, also they got Alex Rodriguez on the Yankees, which they
• 16:38
  kind of undercut and got because the red Sox were about to get a rock.
• 16:43
  The Yankees kind of were somehow got under and got that, got him out of from under him.
• 16:47
  And now the reds, the Yankees who were already looked like this insurmountable threat now
• 16:52
  added the reigning MVP to their team.
• 16:54
  Like how are the red Sox ever going to fucking do this ever?
• 16:57
  So the fact, the way they did it and how it happened and that the Farrelly brothers were
• 17:01
  shooting a movie that they had to change the ending of the fucking movie to that was, that's
• 17:07
  gotta be tippy tippy top for me.
• 17:10
  But if we're talking just one game, yeah, man, we've been spoiled.
• 17:15
  I thought that last game, seven of the world series last year was never be top.
• 17:19
  This was right.
• 17:20
  This is right there with it.
• 17:21
  I would say, yeah.
• 17:22
  I mean, the series between the Yankees and the red Sox is sort of like, it's not, and
• 17:25
  it's probably never going to be topped because it's a history thing, but this is a one game.
• 17:29
  Right.
• 17:30
  But as far as one game, obviously the thing that it really brought up for a lot of people
• 17:34
  because it was a one game situation was 28 to three was the Patriots coming back down
• 17:39
  28 to three in the third quarter to the Falcons in the super bowl.
• 17:46
  And just that feeling of like, once it started, you're, you know, it can't happen in your
• 17:50
  brain.
• 17:51
  You're like, this can't possibly happen.
• 17:52
  You cannot come back from this big of a deficit in the super bowl.
• 17:54
  They're getting their asses kicked, whatever.
• 17:56
  But then the first thing happens and like some fans, they're like, hold on.
• 18:02
  And then the second thing happens and they close the gap and they close the gap and you
• 18:05
  start realizing, like, not only do I think they're gonna like potentially tie this up,
• 18:11
  but I think they're going to win this game.
• 18:12
  Right.
• 18:13
  And then by the time it goes to overtime, you just know what the fuck is going to happen.
• 18:16
  That was the vibe.
• 18:17
  And that's what this Knicks game felt like.
• 18:19
  The difference, I think you can tell me if I'm wrong, is that the Patriots were the Patriots.
• 18:26
  Yeah.
• 18:27
  Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, they were the insurmountable battle.
• 18:30
  They were supposed to be, I mean, they had, they had been steam rolling since Tom Brady
• 18:34
  had come back from his suspension.
• 18:36
  They were on a mission from God.
• 18:37
  The fact that they'd been down that much, nobody saw that coming.
• 18:41
  And then you have one of the clutchest quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, just fucking dealing,
• 18:47
  just in crazy mode, Belichick and his coaching staff making the adjustments.
• 18:52
  You're like, yeah, if any team's going to do this as them, this Knicks team has no business.
• 18:58
  This is not fucking, this is not LeBron.
• 19:02
  As much as I love Jalen Brunson and as clutch as they have been, this, that's the whole,
• 19:06
  that's the thing that makes this like a little next level for me, a little bit more slaying
• 19:10
  the giant for me, a little bit more, holy fuck, I can't believe this is happening for
• 19:13
  me, is that they are true, genuine, real underdogs.
• 19:19
  And so like as a one game, there really aren't that many like one-to-one comparisons in terms
• 19:27
  of comebacks.
• 19:28
  I can understand that.
• 19:29
  But listen, it's, the series is amazing.
• 19:31
  I do think that the Spurs will get this next game and maybe it'll go six and I do hope
• 19:35
  it goes seven.
• 19:36
  Yeah.
• 19:37
  I'm inclined to now think it's going to be Knicks in six.
• 19:40
  This has just been an unbelievable series.
• 19:41
  Not even going Knicks in five.
• 19:42
  You think the Spurs are taking the next one?
• 19:43
  I really do think the Spurs are going to get it back to Madison Square Garden.
• 19:45
  Honestly, I would also like, if it does happen, I wouldn't mind them winning.
• 19:49
  If they do win it, I'd like them to win in Madison Square Garden.
• 19:51
  I mean, listen, if we're going to be, we might as well be picky at this point because it's
• 19:53
  been such a great fun.
• 19:54
  Because why not?
• 19:55
  Why not make it all perfect?
• 19:56
  It absolutely happened in New York, especially after they got kind of robbed of the experience
• 20:02
  of game three.
• 20:03
  And you know what the other thing was, the other play of the game now that has not been
• 20:06
  mentioned at all?
• 20:07
  Oh yeah.
• 20:08
  Carl Anthony Towns.
• 20:09
  Yeah.
• 20:10
  Because in watching that game live, because they never showed a replay of the final play
• 20:13
  of the game at any point, because everyone, everything was just so batshit.
• 20:17
  Everybody's so fucking nuts.
• 20:18
  Yeah.
• 20:19
  Like they had to get to an interview with OG on the, like everything was, we never saw
• 20:22
  what happened.
• 20:23
  I'm like, was that just a bad pass?
• 20:25
  No, it wasn't.
• 20:26
  It was a cat.
• 20:27
  Fucking tipped it.
• 20:28
  And what's more amazing is I went over the video today with Derrick Fisher.
• 20:31
  He paused.
• 20:32
  He's like shit.
• 20:33
  I'm like, what?
• 20:34
  He's like Spurs would have won if cat didn't tip that.
• 20:36
  I'm like, why?
• 20:37
  He's like, Castle was wide open and he was going for a dunk.
• 20:41
  The pass was going to be an alley you and Castle was going to get it and he was going
• 20:46
  to get it.
• 20:47
  Castle is like Castle.
• 20:48
  It snuck through and was wide open.
• 20:50
  This was the game.
• 20:51
  Cat saved the fucking game.
• 20:53
  And by the way, cat after the game talking about taking things as he said, you know,
• 20:57
  when you lose a parent, you, everything is, you'll take every sign you can get.
• 21:02
  And like, you know, he was talking about just feeling connected to his mom and the signs
• 21:05
  that he gets from her.
• 21:06
  And like, it's just like, Oh, have you guys not become likable enough?
• 21:10
  You know, like, I mean, stop telling me nice things about cat.
• 21:12
  You know how much I love cat.
• 21:13
  I know.
• 21:14
  I'm a big cat fan.
• 21:15
  And by the way, his Jordan wore, she not only when she had the game, but she had her bag.
• 21:19
  I don't know if you don't know about this.
• 21:20
  Jordan has been bringing the same bag to every.
• 21:22
  And she didn't bring it to game three, but it was back for game four.
• 21:26
  So I wonder why, because some asshole showed up.
• 21:29
  Yeah.
• 21:30
  All right.
• 21:31
  Headline number two, Tanya.
• 21:33
  So we're going to quickly hit on this.
• 21:36
  There's only really one thing I really want to say about it, but my sports aren't political.
• 21:40
  Keep your politics out of my sports, please.
• 21:42
  That's what the Republicans always told me.
• 21:44
  Yeah.
• 21:45
  Especially Dana White, which is really funny because $60 million in several federal agents
• 21:48
  are required to stage Trump's UFC fight at the White House.
• 21:53
  Now there has been a lawsuit against this.
• 21:56
  Someone has filed a law.
• 21:57
  I think it was two Virginia residents have filed a lawsuit against the National Park
• 22:01
  Service, which oversees the South Lawn.
• 22:04
  That's a whole thing right now.
• 22:05
  They're obviously not going to win.
• 22:07
  Well, right.
• 22:09
  But this is required a truly stunning amount of not only money, but resources.
• 22:17
  When I saw the $60 million, that was one thing.
• 22:19
  But then the idea that there's been like dozens, 700 to 900 people staffed, 20 and 30 trucks
• 22:26
  of equipment.
• 22:27
  Like, yeah, it really put into perspective just what a fucking spectacle this is.
• 22:32
  And here's the, you were talking last, you were talking last episode about just the humor
• 22:40
  you were finding in Trump sort of feeling entitled to these things and like what might
• 22:44
  happen for him.
• 22:46
  You know that the meteorologists have forecast that day as near 90 degrees with potential
• 22:53
  rain and high humidity, which has sparked concerns among fighters and commentators regarding
• 22:58
  outdoor elements and dehydration.
• 23:00
  Can't wait.
• 23:01
  Now this is something I do find incredibly funny and I'll tell you why.
• 23:06
  Not only do I want anything Trump does to fail miserably, especially these spectacles
• 23:12
  that cost the taxpayers millions of dollars and take away, you know, ages, federal agencies
• 23:18
  from doing their job.
• 23:20
  But every single fucking athlete in the U S in the UFC, they can, they can be absolutely
• 23:27
  miserable.
• 23:28
  I don't fucking care about any of those people.
• 23:30
  Now not the whole entire sport itself of MMA, whatever, but anybody working for Dana White
• 23:37
  and planning to, to fight at the White House can dehydrate themselves into fucking next
• 23:43
  week by good riddance.
• 23:45
  Have an awful time.
• 23:46
  I hope it's the worst night of your life and I will laugh so hard.
• 23:51
  I mean this from the bottom of my heart.
• 23:53
  I don't give a fuck about anyone going to this, fighting in this, promoting this, being
• 23:57
  a part of this UFC is dead to me like entirely.
• 24:00
  I think the, they have now destroyed the entire art, I'm going to call it an art form of MMA
• 24:06
  fucking get rid of it.
• 24:07
  It means nothing.
• 24:08
  This is, in my opinion, and my opinion, you can say otherwise, I don't really give a shit.
• 24:12
  My opinion is right.
• 24:13
  This is the most embarrassing thing I have ever seen in my life.
• 24:17
  I have never been more secondhandly embarrassed by a bunch of fake tough people.
• 24:21
  I've never been more embarrassed for our country.
• 24:24
  I've never been more embarrassed for, we turned the fucking White House into a six flags.
• 24:30
  I got nothing.
• 24:31
  I don't care.
• 24:32
  I don't care about this event.
• 24:33
  I hope it fucking fails miserably.
• 24:36
  I hope there's mosquitoes.
• 24:37
  I hope I hope locusts show up.
• 24:40
  I hope it hails.
• 24:42
  I hope it sinks into a sinkhole right into the crust of the fucking earth.
• 24:46
  I do not care.
• 24:47
  I truly hope every fighter, every commentator, everybody there to watch it is miserable, hot
• 24:53
  and covered in bug bites, dehydrated, hungry and tired and wishes it never happened.
• 24:59
  That's what I hope.
• 25:00
  And if that's the case, I will ha ha hee hee hee.
• 25:03
  I will sleep well.
• 25:07
  Again, this is embarrassing.
• 25:08
  It's fucking embarrassing.
• 25:09
  And anyway, luckily I have not heard a single person try to defend it.
• 25:12
  I know there are going to be plenty that do.
• 25:14
  And I don't really.
• 25:15
  Yeah.
• 25:16
  Luckily they're not really in our circle.
• 25:17
  I know.
• 25:18
  I bet there's gonna be some friends of mine that are going to defend it.
• 25:20
  I vehemently disagree with them.
• 25:22
  And honestly, is it Craig?
• 25:24
  I don't know.
• 25:25
  Craig might defend it.
• 25:26
  We'll find out.
• 25:27
  He might.
• 25:28
  I would disagree with him.
• 25:29
  Yeah.
• 25:30
  And I wouldn't believe it.
• 25:31
  I'll go step further.
• 25:32
  I wouldn't believe in a world that he doesn't think this is embarrassing.
• 25:34
  He does.
• 25:35
  I don't know if he thinks it's embarrassing.
• 25:36
  But he'll probably say that.
• 25:37
  What is he going to say?
• 25:38
  I don't know if he'll say that.
• 25:39
  But I don't think he'll disagree.
• 25:40
  But I don't know.
• 25:41
  I haven't talked to him about it.
• 25:42
  I'm always pre-ready to be mad at Craig.
• 25:43
  Just in case.
• 25:44
  I get that.
• 25:45
  Yeah.
• 25:46
  I'm always like, what are you about to say?
• 25:47
  I can understand people being pre-mad at Craig.
• 25:48
  All right.
• 25:49
  Can't pick your family, bro.
• 25:50
  No, you can't.
• 25:51
  I love you, Craig.
• 25:52
  You know that.
• 25:53
  Craig's lucky.
• 25:54
  Yes.
• 25:55
  And he speaks very highly of you, Craig, to the point where I do call you some slack
• 25:58
  behind the scenes.
• 25:59
  Oh, no, no, no.
• 26:01
  No, you don't.
• 26:02
  No, I've gotten, I have given him a few props here and there because of you.
• 26:05
  Occasionally.
• 26:06
  But make no mistake.
• 26:07
  No, no, no.
• 26:08
  I see some of the headlines he makes.
• 26:11
  There's some machinations at play.
• 26:12
  There's some stuff in there.
• 26:13
  I'm still thinking about that Dunkin' Donuts black card though.
• 26:15
  But here's the thing.
• 26:16
  Whenever he would do this when I was on the air with him, I would just say, oh, come on,
• 26:20
  you don't believe that shit.
• 26:21
  And then we'd have a great conversation about it.
• 26:25
  It was you making really good points and him just arguing.
• 26:28
  Yeah.
• 26:29
  Sometimes.
• 26:30
  All right.
• 26:31
  I love talking.
• 26:32
  We're back to, I think it was maybe last episode, the episode before we had to defend the NCAA.
• 26:37
  We're going to be back to maybe.
• 26:38
  Yeah.
• 26:39
  Don't worry.
• 26:40
  That was a one time deal.
• 26:41
  One time deal.
• 26:42
  We're back on your bullshit.
• 26:43
  They're back on their bullshit.
• 26:44
  The University of Florida is going to spend a jaw dropping figure on their football stadium
• 26:50
  renovation.
• 26:51
  They have unveiled the most expansive and expensive renovation in college sports history.
• 26:57
  The school's projected investment for renovating Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is set at $1.45 billion.
• 27:03
  Is the renovation not a tearing down and starting all over?
• 27:07
  Well, yes.
• 27:08
  According to the project's official website, fans should experience a more comfortable,
• 27:12
  convenient and enjoyable game day from arrival through departure.
• 27:15
  Improvements are expected to include more accessible concessions, improved restroom
• 27:18
  access, enhanced wayfinding, better traffic flow through the stadium, upgraded technology
• 27:22
  and additional gathering spaces.
• 27:23
  Apparently that costs $1.45 billion.
• 27:25
  And who's paying for that?
• 27:28
  Well, I don't know.
• 27:30
  Because it's one of two people.
• 27:31
  The school?
• 27:32
  Yeah, it's the school.
• 27:33
  But really, it's one of two things.
• 27:35
  And Florida's not a state school, right?
• 27:37
  Oh, I don't know.
• 27:38
  Because Florida State is a state school.
• 27:40
  I'm assuming University of Florida is not a state school.
• 27:42
  So I'm assuming...
• 27:43
  Let me double check that.
• 27:44
  So what tells me who's paying for this is the school, aka they're probably going to
• 27:49
  raise tuition.
• 27:50
  So the students and families pay for it.
• 27:53
  I mean, for...
• 27:54
  All right.
• 27:55
  Well, speaking of private schools.
• 27:56
  In comparison, Northwestern is currently building an $862 million stadium for its football program,
• 28:01
  a brand new stadium.
• 28:02
  A brand new stadium.
• 28:03
  Half the price.
• 28:04
  And Penn State is renovating its stadium for $700 million.
• 28:06
  But Northwestern's in what state?
• 28:08
  Illinois?
• 28:09
  Isn't that a blue state?
• 28:10
  Ish, usually.
• 28:11
  Oh, boy.
• 28:12
  Oh, boy.
• 28:13
  But I thought everything cost so much more in a blue state.
• 28:16
  But that's a red state in Florida.
• 28:19
  How is that double the fucking price?
• 28:22
  It's a great question.
• 28:24
  It's an exceptionally great question.
• 28:25
  Northwestern's close to a major city, too, isn't it?
• 28:29
  It is a part of the state university system of Florida, by the way.
• 28:32
  Florida is.
• 28:33
  It is?
• 28:34
  I wonder who's paying for this.
• 28:36
  So I wanted to just...
• 28:38
  I also just wanted to point out that Florida's football program has not won a national title
• 28:45
  or really ever.
• 28:46
  I mean, they won the BCS in 2008.
• 28:48
  Their last Heisman was Tim Tebow in 2007.
• 28:51
  God, don't we all love him.
• 28:53
  They haven't won the SEC since 2008.
• 28:56
  That's still a conference.
• 28:57
  So the SEC?
• 28:58
  Yeah, still a thing.
• 28:59
  It's normal.
• 29:01
  So this is not exactly your cream of the crop.
• 29:04
  And the reason I wanted to put it in here outside of talk about the fact that this...
• 29:08
  This is another reminder that these schools complaining about paying, about the unfairness
• 29:17
  of the certain kinds of schools that can bring in all these people and pay all the NIL money
• 29:22
  for all of it.
• 29:23
  And it's going to...
• 29:24
  Yeah, it's so sad.
• 29:25
  Right?
• 29:26
  The argument is always competitiveness.
• 29:29
  How can we all compete with the Louisiana states and the Michigans and the Ohio states
• 29:34
  and the whatever, right?
• 29:36
  Okay, Florida.
• 29:38
  What do you fucking mean?
• 29:40
  What do you mean?
• 29:41
  You're building by far the most expensive stadium renovations in the history of the NCAA.
• 29:48
  And you're telling me on the flip side that you have schools that you can't compete with
• 29:53
  on NIL?
• 29:54
  You can't compete on the NIL front?
• 29:55
  Why is that?
• 29:56
  Is it because your fucking program hasn't done shit since the George W. Bush's last
• 30:02
  fucking term?
• 30:04
  What the fuck are we doing?
• 30:06
  Every time I hear one of these schools, one of these ADs, some fucking conference head,
• 30:12
  talk about the fact that we have to make sure that the sport remains competitive, and then
• 30:16
  you go out and spend this much money and say you can't spend money on your fucking quarterbacks
• 30:20
  or on the transfer portal?
• 30:21
  Yeah, it's embarrassing.
• 30:22
  It's all a joke.
• 30:23
  They make me laugh only in their own incompetence.
• 30:26
  But cool, enjoy your more accessible concessions.
• 30:31
  I'm really excited for the accessibility.
• 30:32
  By the way, nothing that they listed there?
• 30:35
  What billion dollars?
• 30:36
  $1.45.
• 30:37
  $1.45 fucking five billion dollars to renovate in fucking Florida.
• 30:43
  I love how they spin it.
• 30:45
  The way that they spin it and they're like, look at all the things we're doing for the
• 30:48
  fans.
• 30:49
  It's going to be easier to get in and out.
• 30:50
  It's going to be more accessible concessions in restrooms.
• 30:54
  You know, for a goddamn fact, everything they just listed cost about $20 million.
• 30:59
  The stuff that's actually going to cost them money is the shit they're not telling us about.
• 31:03
  They're like, they've got fucking like, you know, they're installing like toilets that
• 31:07
  can read the DNA of the fucking shit you just took.
• 31:10
  Probably a lot of facial recognition shit, probably building a data center.
• 31:14
  There's some like cryo chambers shit that they're putting in there like, shut up, dude.
• 31:20
  What the fuck do you need to build it?
• 31:23
  You're a college.
• 31:24
  Perhaps they think it's a field of dreams, a shitty college, but college, if you build
• 31:30
  it, they will come.
• 31:31
  I think if they build it, they'll get all the recruits for $1.4 fucking billion.
• 31:36
  Pay the players a little more.
• 31:38
  They'll fucking come.
• 31:39
  Yeah.
• 31:40
  I mean, that field that they, that field that Kevin Costner built couldn't have cost more
• 31:43
  than like, you know, a couple thousand dollars easily, but they don't have any corn in Florida
• 31:47
  or, or, or ghost baseball players or ghost baseball players, just, just meth and more
• 31:53
  meth.
• 31:54
  Although the meth, the meth people might see the ghost baseball players fair.
• 31:57
  So really it's kind of come in full circle.
• 31:59
  Now that I think about it, was he on meth?
• 32:02
  I've told you my field of dreams theory.
• 32:05
  No.
• 32:06
  Oh yeah.
• 32:07
  Yeah.
• 32:08
  Yeah.
• 32:09
  Oh, by the way, field of dreams is a terrible movie.
• 32:10
  It's a fucking horrible movie.
• 32:11
  I want to make that abundantly clear.
• 32:12
  If you like field dreams, it's okay to be wrong sometimes, but it's a shit movie.
• 32:17
  It's how do I put it?
• 32:20
  There should be a sequel.
• 32:21
  Hear me out.
• 32:22
  And the sequel should be the trial of Kevin Costner's character for the murder of Terrence.
• 32:29
  Uh, because I don't know how it's going to hold up in court.
• 32:32
  Your honor, I swear the man I kidnapped, it just went into the corn and disappeared with
• 32:38
  the ghost.
• 32:39
  You're going to prison for fucking life is what you're going to do.
• 32:42
  You can't just disappear someone in your ghost Canyon prison.
• 32:47
  You kidnapped a famous author and make no mistake, fucking kidnapped him.
• 32:52
  I don't care if he took him to a Boston fucking Red Sox game, he kidnapped him and took his
• 32:56
  kidnapping to a Red Sox game and then seemingly murdered him.
• 33:01
  And uh, I look forward to the sequel when Kevin Costner is put away for years, which
• 33:04
  he belongs in prison.
• 33:06
  It's just him going through the trial.
• 33:07
  All to play catch with his dad.
• 33:10
  Fucking fuck you with this stupid nostalgia.
• 33:12
  I played catch with my dad once.
• 33:13
  It fucking sucked.
• 33:14
  It made me a worse baseball player.
• 33:16
  My dad was a pretty good baseball player.
• 33:18
  I wasn't.
• 33:19
  I mean, you became a very good baseball player.
• 33:21
  So everything because of him, I was going to say, everything's fine.
• 33:25
  You did it in spite of him.
• 33:26
  No, to spite.
• 33:27
  I said, I heard what I said.
• 33:29
  I know what I said.
• 33:30
  And I will say it again.
• 33:32
  Tell your mom to tell them that I think he probably heard it and he's going to chat with
• 33:35
  her about it now.
• 33:36
  Fucking asshole.
• 33:37
  Fucking asshole.
• 33:38
  Wherever you are somewhere, wherever limbo is, Jay just got in trouble for no reason.
• 33:42
  It's not, he's not even here.
• 33:44
  I always find reasons.
• 33:45
  Yeah.
• 33:46
  All right.
• 33:47
  Next final headline real quick.
• 33:48
  We have homophobia in sports in 2026.
• 33:52
  I love it.
• 33:53
  I love, I love how scared of gay people you all are.
• 33:56
  Arizona coach Becky Burke has faced online backlash after announcing her wife's pregnancy.
• 34:02
  She's the women's basketball coach and she announced in a June 8th post on Twitter that
• 34:05
  her wife is pregnant.
• 34:07
  Burke family update.
• 34:08
  Baby girl coming December 2026.
• 34:10
  Love that.
• 34:11
  Great.
• 34:12
  Love a working, love a working woman, pregnant, doing her thing.
• 34:16
  Burke's post triggered negative comments, one in particular by a woman who wants to
• 34:20
  overturn Obergefell versus Hodges, the landmark 2015 Supreme Court ruling that legalized same
• 34:25
  sex marriage.
• 34:26
  Uh, Katie Faust, who is the founder of the nonprofit group, which believes same sex couples
• 34:30
  should not be allowed to be parents, quote tweeted Burke's post.
• 34:35
  And uh, she's also a leader of another group which builds itself as the defenders of children,
• 34:39
  but more simply seeks to reverse the ruling.
• 34:42
  On Monday she used her platform to say some pretty insane stuff.
• 34:45
  Um, I'm not actually going to read what she said.
• 34:47
  No, I don't want to hear it because it really doesn't matter.
• 34:50
  Just take my word for it.
• 34:51
  That's wildly insanely homophobic and also like nonsense, right?
• 34:55
  Of course.
• 34:56
  Naturally homophobia is nonsense and the more homophobic someone is, the more nonsensical
• 34:59
  they sound.
• 35:00
  Um, this is all to say that number one, I can't believe we're still doing this in 2026.
• 35:05
  In fact, it seems like it's somehow getting worse instead of better.
• 35:08
  The second thing is that I've recently come to grips with the fact that maybe part of
• 35:11
  the reason I hate being in the state of Arizona is because every time I step into it, I can
• 35:15
  feel the mega conservative bigoted bullshit of that entire fucking state.
• 35:19
  And I'm starting to think that the poor sons and diamondbacks and the fact that they don't
• 35:25
  have an NHL team anymore, this whole state is just doomed to fail at everything they
• 35:31
  fucking do because they are, they are truly Arizona gets off scot free for being an absolutely
• 35:37
  bigoted wasteland.
• 35:38
  Oh yeah.
• 35:39
  I want to make this abundantly clear.
• 35:41
  Arizona is just Florida West.
• 35:42
  Now I will give them a little bit of credit.
• 35:44
  They have actually done, they have voted in some blue people.
• 35:47
  They've had a Democrat Senator, a Democrat representatives.
• 35:51
  They've put in mutton, they've started to push that, that thing toward purple and it's
• 35:55
  mostly been because of Phoenix.
• 35:57
  Really the rest of the cities in that state are some of the reddest cities in the country.
• 36:04
  Not Mississippi, not Alabama, not Texas, the Texas outside of outside of San Antonio, which
• 36:10
  is a kind of on the line in terms of conservative versus liberal.
• 36:13
  All the cities in Texas are blue, Arizona.
• 36:16
  Not so much.
• 36:17
  It's, it's Phoenix trying to hold it down for fucking dear for dear life.
• 36:22
  Every other city, Tucson, Tucson, Mesa, um, I think, uh, let me, let me double check on
• 36:28
  Tucson, but Mesa Chandler, all those they're all, they're very Mesa, Mesa, Arizona is one
• 36:32
  of the reddest cities in the country.
• 36:35
  I mean this from the heart I I've spent and I've done the math, I believe three full years
• 36:39
  of my life in Arizona.
• 36:42
  I fucking hate Arizona.
• 36:44
  I've always hated Arizona.
• 36:45
  I will continue to hate Arizona.
• 36:47
  Thank you.
• 36:48
  It's fucking awful.
• 36:49
  Yeah.
• 36:50
  Oh, you poor thing.
• 36:51
  Yeah.
• 36:52
  It's fucking awful.
• 36:53
  The only place in Arizona I like is Tucson.
• 36:54
  And I mean, I like is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
• 36:56
  Yeah.
• 36:57
  I do want to, I'll reserve the Tucson slender until I can guarantee, but like it is, it
• 37:02
  is really, really bad.
• 37:03
  And so, um, I would encourage if you love the, the diamondbacks, the spurs, the sudden
• 37:10
  devils, the, you know, I don't know, like the coogs, what are they?
• 37:13
  Bear cats, the Arizona bear cats, uh, no, the wildcats, wildcats or copper.
• 37:16
  They say bear down though, which there's a lot of things about the bear down thing.
• 37:21
  There's the copperheads thing and there's the wildcats thing.
• 37:24
  Just fucking pick.
• 37:25
  Yeah.
• 37:26
  So, um, yeah.
• 37:27
  Like if you're, if you're a fan of those things, maybe you look at the karma coming out of
• 37:31
  your goddamn state because it is a nightmare down there.
• 37:34
  And this is, this is just like another reminder of why I hate everything that's constantly
• 37:39
  going on.
• 37:40
  I feel like they, I feel like the sons and the diamondbacks at the very least deserve
• 37:43
  better, but they're not going to get it until, until this state figures out that they are,
• 37:48
  I don't know, in the United States of America.
• 37:51
  I guess they've missed that part the whole time.
• 37:54
  Listen, listen, what this is all boiling down to is simply this in 2026, if you are a person
• 38:01
  that is simply homophobic to the point where you just hate gay people, trans, but this
• 38:07
  is what I want you to do.
• 38:09
  I want you to take your left fist and I want you to punch yourself in the face over and
• 38:13
  over and over again.
• 38:14
  So I don't have to do it.
• 38:17
  You are the lowest of the low to me.
• 38:20
  If you are somebody that takes our most vulnerable people who do literally nothing wrong and
• 38:28
  make them beneath you, you make me fucking sick.
• 38:31
  Like trying to make me sick.
• 38:32
  Uh, an ex teammate of mine, a fit can't remember this asshole's name.
• 38:35
  He also is doing all because my religious beliefs, I wouldn't dare wear the hat.
• 38:38
  Fuck you too.
• 38:39
  Fuck you guys.
• 38:40
  You're pieces of shit.
• 38:41
  Period.
• 38:42
  Stop.
• 38:43
  I got nothing else to say for you.
• 38:44
  You can quote all your religious beliefs you want.
• 38:45
  I can cite parts of the Bible that you clearly haven't read that contradict all of your dog
• 38:50
  shit, uh, morals that you've implemented in your head.
• 38:54
  Um, I hate the fact that you guys get to procreate and implement those dog shit morals into your
• 39:01
  children's head.
• 39:02
  Just creating this perpetual cycle of just monstrous fucking people.
• 39:06
  Um, I have never had a single person that I've never met a trans person that only one
• 39:13
  thing they wanted was to be just recognized and understood.
• 39:16
  That's it.
• 39:17
  Nothing more.
• 39:18
  Didn't need anything else.
• 39:19
  Um, the, the people who say, yeah, I just don't want the gay ideology, uh, put up, you're
• 39:25
  a fucking idiot.
• 39:26
  You are a, a, you're a, you're an inbred shit hook.
• 39:29
  That's the only thing you are.
• 39:31
  And I don't like that inbred shit hooks get to have and make more inbred shit hooks.
• 39:35
  I, I, and I love shit hooks.
• 39:37
  Never heard that, but I'm into it.
• 39:38
  Um, and I think it's really funny when we'd have to talk here about the gay ideology.
• 39:43
  When I grew up in the straight ideology that encouraged men to objectify young girls, cause
• 39:50
  men to expose themselves to me when I was in a drive through working a drive through
• 39:55
  when I was 14 cause men to beep at me when I was walking down the street as a, as a literal
• 40:01
  child.
• 40:02
  So congrats on here.
• 40:04
  Like, and I, and I was raised to believe that you just put up with that.
• 40:07
  That's the straight, the straight indoctrination that I got was to believe that I was never
• 40:12
  actually even allowed to expect safety around grown adult men, let alone the, the, the boys
• 40:17
  my age.
• 40:18
  So I would have loved a little gay indoctrination, indoctrination, by the way, the, the new word
• 40:24
  for these inbred shit hooks is masculinity.
• 40:28
  You know what?
• 40:29
  Um, you know, it's actually, you know what masculinity is?
• 40:31
  It's never fucking talking about masculinity.
• 40:34
  If you talk about masculinity, you're a bitch.
• 40:38
  Have a great day.
• 40:39
  Bitch made.
• 40:40
  You are a little, little tiny bitch and you will never be anything but a little bitch.
• 40:45
  And I honestly would love, you know, what's so great about this too is like you couldn't
• 40:50
  even, you couldn't, you couldn't actually beat up Cody like, like that's what it's like.
• 40:56
  You couldn't actually win a fight, a physical fight.
• 40:58
  So like when you call them a bitch and they say, and they're like, Oh no, I did it.
• 41:02
  You get your ass kicked.
• 41:03
  Honestly, I could probably kick your ass too, but I don't want to, I have a beautiful face
• 41:08
  and I don't want to get a, I don't want to get a, a bruise or like, you know, a black
• 41:11
  eye.
• 41:12
  I don't care.
• 41:13
  That's what happens.
• 41:14
  Well, I mean, you're, that's your moneymaker as well.
• 41:16
  It's not really, I mean, it's just like, you think it's your big brain?
• 41:19
  No, no, no, no, no, we have to be very clear about this.
• 41:24
  I want to make this abundantly clear.
• 41:26
  I don't think I'm smart.
• 41:28
  I know.
• 41:29
  I think you're smart and you don't even, I don't think I'm smart at all.
• 41:31
  You're an idiot.
• 41:32
  No, no, no.
• 41:33
  I can't.
• 41:34
  I think I'm average intelligence.
• 41:35
  Mocha.
• 41:36
  Do you feel this way too?
• 41:37
  I just think we're fucking surrounded by goddamn idiots.
• 41:39
  Now Mocha is very stupid.
• 41:40
  That's why we have him doing the boards.
• 41:42
  He can't candle anything else.
• 41:45
  He wouldn't know how to feed himself if he didn't drop his mouth so much.
• 41:48
  Yeah, exactly.
• 41:49
  Fucking Mocha.
• 41:51
  Okay, well, now that we know that everyone here is stupid but me, let's go to media corner.
• 41:58
  Tiki Barber popped off about when Tiki Barber has become full WFAN.
• 42:03
  It's happened.
• 42:04
  He calls Victor Wembenyama cocky ass Victor Wembenyama who deserves to get punked.
• 42:11
  Now I'm going to read you this exact quote, okay?
• 42:15
  Here's what Tiki Barber said in New York media.
• 42:18
  He's a New York guy.
• 42:19
  Yeah, he is.
• 42:21
  He's a cocky ass.
• 42:22
  Wemby is.
• 42:23
  He really is.
• 42:24
  There's no humility in his game.
• 42:25
  What?
• 42:26
  And the problem, just like Jeremy Shockey pointing to the scoreboard against the San
• 42:31
  Francisco 49ers in 2002, is that when it comes back to get you, nobody feels sorry for you.
• 42:38
  Everybody says you deserved it.
• 42:39
  Wemby, you deserve to miss two free throws at the end.
• 42:42
  You deserve to get punked and you shoot two for 11 in the fourth quarter.
• 42:46
  You deserved everything you got because you put it way out there before against a team
• 42:50
  in the Knicks who are committed to winning every moment.
• 42:53
  Every moment.
• 42:54
  And the Spurs weren't.
• 42:55
  Now, before I let you say anything, I would just like to remind everybody that Jeremy
• 43:00
  Shockey, if you were alive then, because it was 24 years ago, was a racist, okay?
• 43:07
  Noted racist.
• 43:08
  So let's maybe not compare Wemby to that.
• 43:12
  Cody, what do you think about this tone that Tiki Barber decided to take with the very
• 43:18
  young second year, extremely kind and thoughtful, generally, Victor Wemby-Nyama?
• 43:24
  What the fuck are you talking about, Tiki?
• 43:27
  Tiki, WFAN already has got Craig and they've already got Evan and they've already got,
• 43:34
  like, Loudmouths.
• 43:35
  You know what's cool about Tiki Barber being at WFAN?
• 43:39
  He brings a credibility of an athlete's perspective.
• 43:43
  This is not an athlete's perspective.
• 43:45
  This is just, like, WFAN AI slop type shit.
• 43:49
  This is actually, this is hack.
• 43:50
  This is radio hack stuff.
• 43:51
  This is hack shit.
• 43:52
  Yeah.
• 43:53
  And this is not the first time he's done it.
• 43:54
  He went all in with his really good analysis that Embiid is a bitch.
• 43:58
  Okay.
• 43:59
  Yeah, Joel Embiid is a bitch.
• 44:00
  Can you give me a little bit more than that?
• 44:02
  Because dude, you were a pro athlete and a phenomenal one at that.
• 44:06
  So, like, why wouldn't you just take the approach of maybe giving your inside information
• 44:12
  of being a pro athlete of what maybe this young cat might be going through rather than,
• 44:15
  I need everyone in New York to like me because I'm New York pro, pro, pro, pro, pro.
• 44:19
  Motherfucker.
• 44:20
  If somebody's doing something wrong, just say they're doing something wrong.
• 44:22
  But also, this kid's 20 fucking two.
• 44:24
  What are you, what are you fucking talking about?
• 44:27
  Cocky ass doesn't deserve it.
• 44:28
  They don't, they don't commit to winning every single, they're in the goddamn finals and
• 44:33
  they're all 20.
• 44:34
  They're all in year two.
• 44:36
  Like, what are we talking about?
• 44:38
  Like I appreciate the shock jock nature that you're trying to turn yourself into for honestly
• 44:43
  some reason, but I just, I don't, you're Tiki Barber, like, like that's a good thing.
• 44:50
  Like you can bring, Tiki Barber can bring things to that net, that station that really
• 44:55
  like no one else can.
• 44:56
  Yeah.
• 44:57
  Boomer played obviously for, but Boomer has been so long retired that I don't think it's
• 45:00
  the same fucking game that Boomer played anymore.
• 45:03
  Tiki's not that far removed from the game that I would like to actually hear a perspective
• 45:08
  of a former pro athlete, especially when you're surrounded by all the loud mouths of the, of
• 45:12
  the New York media landscape, because none of those motherfuckers played any fucking
• 45:17
  sport.
• 45:18
  They don't know what any of, none of them know what they're talking about, fucking none
• 45:22
  of them.
• 45:23
  So like, what are we doing?
• 45:24
  Well, that's the thing is that I'm going to be abundantly clear here.
• 45:28
  And some of you aren't going to want to hear this, but like there is no former athlete
• 45:32
  that's been ever, ever been hired.
• 45:35
  And I'm talking about like these star athletes, like a star athletes.
• 45:38
  I'm not talking about Dan Orlovsky, who was like a backup quarterback and who's been hired
• 45:42
  for a different reason than someone who is, was a star in the NFL.
• 45:46
  None of you have been hired for shock value.
• 45:49
  Okay.
• 45:50
  We don't need your fucking hot takes.
• 45:53
  None of your hot takes, by the way, your net, your hot takes are never going to be as interesting
• 45:57
  as somebody who has been like working on the craft of communication for their entire fucking
• 46:01
  adult lives.
• 46:02
  While you were playing football, we were going to journalism school, learning how to communicate
• 46:06
  effectively for our entire adult lives.
• 46:09
  That's what we've been doing.
• 46:10
  And then you retire and you try to play that game and you end up sounding like a Twitter
• 46:14
  troll.
• 46:15
  That's all you sound like.
• 46:16
  You have no ability to do this.
• 46:17
  You make Stephen A. Smith look like he's actually very adept at his job.
• 46:21
  And I am not kidding.
• 46:23
  Like this is, this is the kind of stuff that pisses me off because Tiki Barber could have
• 46:27
  gone on here and said, you know, I can see that, that Wemby is getting cocky, that he's
• 46:32
  getting overconfident in these moments.
• 46:33
  Like I can see where he's starting to lose.
• 46:36
  I want to listen to this.
• 46:37
  Keep going.
• 46:38
  Tell me more.
• 46:39
  I'm not kidding.
• 46:40
  I'd rather listen to this than whatever the fuck Tiki said.
• 46:42
  You can see he's starting to lose his ability to like stay composed in the moment because
• 46:47
  as stuff falls apart around him, the veteran presence and leadership and the ability to
• 46:52
  adjust on the fly on the other side of the court is something that he cannot keep up
• 46:57
  with.
• 46:58
  And so he's lashing out.
• 46:59
  He's getting more physical.
• 47:00
  He is starting to commit texts.
• 47:01
  He shouldn't commit.
• 47:02
  He's making mistakes.
• 47:03
  He doesn't normally make.
• 47:04
  And here's how I see why I see that happening.
• 47:06
  Here's an experience I had as a player where I could feel that I was sort of in over my,
• 47:11
  you know, I was over my skis in it.
• 47:12
  Right?
• 47:13
  Like I was in over my head a little bit.
• 47:14
  That's what I want Tiki Barber to talk about.
• 47:16
  Now, if he decides that he actually like genuinely has these feelings about how Wemby's behaving,
• 47:23
  you can have them.
• 47:24
  I'm actually not telling you to like Wemby's performance or behavior on the court.
• 47:28
  What I am telling you is to do your job and contextualize it in a way that brings us more
• 47:34
  than what I will get in from an anonymous account on threads all across the course of
• 47:40
  my day.
• 47:41
  Because literally that whole thing looks like somebody was mad on threads from their mom's
• 47:46
  basement.
• 47:47
  And I'm going to prove to you, by the way, I'm going to prove to you that this can be
• 47:50
  done in a way that is hot Tiki fun, loud, and interesting, but also comes from the perspective
• 47:56
  of a player.
• 47:57
  So Mocha, I would like you to play Amman Shumpert on first take talking about Wemby's place
• 48:04
  as the face of the NBA.
• 48:06
  Let's go to it.
• 48:07
  People would go fist to people, but we're in a different time, right?
• 48:12
  We're in the face of the league time, right?
• 48:15
  That's what the conversation is.
• 48:16
  The face of this ain't about when he was born.
• 48:19
  We can't control that.
• 48:20
  Right.
• 48:21
  We can't control it.
• 48:22
  I would have loved to have been born and played against Mike and Kobe and Larry and Magic.
• 48:28
  I would have loved to.
• 48:29
  I was born in 90.
• 48:30
  Right.
• 48:31
  We ain't running from this.
• 48:32
  The big guy.
• 48:33
  That's a star.
• 48:34
  Shaq.
• 48:35
  Shaq was the face of the league.
• 48:36
  Right.
• 48:37
  He had an album that sold out.
• 48:38
  He could do whatever he wanted.
• 48:39
  Yeah.
• 48:40
  He sold shoes.
• 48:41
  He's still operating at a high level as far as being Shaq, being a face.
• 48:47
  Shaq wasn't nice.
• 48:49
  Shaq threw people down.
• 48:50
  Shaq fouled people hard.
• 48:51
  He threw guards and the cameras.
• 48:53
  This is what big people do.
• 48:54
  Dude, I fucking love that.
• 48:55
  Yeah.
• 48:56
  I fucking love everything about that because you're saying there's some passion, there's
• 48:59
  some feelings to that, and it's also like he's annoyed.
• 49:04
  He's annoyed at these stupid fucks because I got some news for you.
• 49:08
  And here's the thing.
• 49:09
  TV knows this.
• 49:10
  Players are very annoyed.
• 49:12
  And yeah, we all hear the fucking narratives that are put out there.
• 49:16
  We can't.
• 49:17
  They can't help but see them.
• 49:18
  They can't help but hear them.
• 49:19
  They're shouting in their face nonstop.
• 49:21
  They're on television.
• 49:22
  They're on radio.
• 49:24
  They're on podcasts.
• 49:25
  Every lazy or even not lazy narrative about a player, that player has heard 90 million
• 49:31
  fucking times.
• 49:32
  And trust me, they are working on things not to hear your fucking narratives.
• 49:36
  They don't care about your narratives.
• 49:37
  They're doing a job.
• 49:38
  And that's the other thing.
• 49:39
  They're trying to just do a job.
• 49:41
  There is a guy that gives you a great perspective on what big men in the fucking game do.
• 49:47
  And since when does Wemby have to sit there with the humility of a young boy?
• 49:53
  And should he get on the ground and say, thank you, Mr. Bunsen.
• 49:57
  Thank you so much for not dunking near my direction.
• 50:00
  What the fuck is this?
• 50:01
  He's a competitor.
• 50:02
  He's going to talk his shit.
• 50:03
  That's what we fucking do.
• 50:04
  Tiki, that's what you fucking did.
• 50:08
  He is seven foot six.
• 50:11
  He is acting like he is seven foot six and entitled to the entire court and the rim itself
• 50:17
  because he is seven foot six.
• 50:19
  I don't want, first of all, Wemby is as humble already as a player needs to be.
• 50:26
  Yeah.
• 50:27
  Right.
• 50:28
  Like we, I actually don't, I'm any more humble and I'm tired.
• 50:31
  Get gritty, get piss, commit texts, do the thing that should.
• 50:35
  And then as you get older, hone your craft, do what these other great players do.
• 50:41
  By the way, Kobe, total asshole.
• 50:43
  Shaq, total asshole.
• 50:44
  Michael Jordan, total asshole.
• 50:46
  You guys all constantly talk about that competitive edge, mob mentality, but when a guy shows
• 50:53
  it, this guy's cocky and beats a bitch, Wemby's a cocky ass, uh, and he's too.
• 51:00
  He's not serious.
• 51:01
  Jason Tatum.
• 51:02
  He's boring.
• 51:03
  Brunson, too small.
• 51:04
  Exactly.
• 51:05
  What the fuck is it that you want from your NBA stars, this magical human you want to
• 51:10
  just because you all talk about Michael Jordan and Kobe, who are notoriously two of the biggest
• 51:15
  assholes in the history of the fucking league.
• 51:20
  You are all frauds.
• 51:22
  And I understand Iman Shumpert's frustration because that, you know, that's what I want.
• 51:28
  I want when, when you've got a talking head, who's trying to force a narrative that doesn't
• 51:31
  make sense.
• 51:32
  I want a former player to be like, no, absolutely not.
• 51:36
  Or to tell us why it makes sense.
• 51:38
  I do not need Tiki Barber's hot take of the day.
• 51:42
  I'm sorry.
• 51:43
  I, I'm, I really like, I say this lovingly, had a massive crush on you as a child.
• 51:49
  So by the way, I've met Tiki a few times.
• 51:53
  Tiki is one, by the way, we're, we're being a little hard on Tiki, but because we feel
• 51:56
  like it's deserved.
• 51:57
  Tiki is actually a sweetheart.
• 51:58
  So that's why I'm disappointed.
• 52:01
  That's why I'm disappointed.
• 52:02
  Cause I'm like, I just know, first of all, had a crush on you.
• 52:04
  Always thought you were quite handsome.
• 52:05
  Beautiful to look at.
• 52:06
  I want my beautiful to look at people on television to be talking about things that I want to
• 52:11
  hear.
• 52:12
  I believe, I believe in, in hot Tiki.
• 52:15
  I believe that he can do better.
• 52:17
  He still is hot.
• 52:18
  Yeah.
• 52:19
  And that's what I'm saying.
• 52:20
  Forget everything else.
• 52:21
  You are still a very attractive man.
• 52:22
  Incredibly hot.
• 52:23
  And also like has had moments of being a great analyst.
• 52:25
  And I feel like he's better than this.
• 52:28
  And I feel like someone like Amon Shumpert, who's worked his way through the podcast circuit,
• 52:32
  who's worked his way up into these spots to become this person who, by the way, is authentic
• 52:38
  is who he is.
• 52:39
  It doesn't code switch.
• 52:41
  It doesn't change who he is.
• 52:42
  This is who we've gotten just in a more polished form on these podcasts over the years.
• 52:49
  He built up, he built himself into this place and rather than getting on TV and turning
• 52:53
  into a shill, he is doing the exact thing he should be doing, which is doing a polished
• 52:58
  version of what he was providing to us on, on podcasts.
• 53:01
  And I admire that.
• 53:02
  I agree.
• 53:03
  It's good stuff.
• 53:04
  Listen, I just think this take in this, whatever this is, it's beneath Tiki.
• 53:12
  That's the thing.
• 53:13
  That's why I'm actually kind of annoyed by it because he's better than this.
• 53:17
  We're not saying because like when we get on here, we talk shit about Stephen A. Smith
• 53:20
  or whatever.
• 53:21
  We don't respect what they're doing.
• 53:22
  Yeah.
• 53:23
  I don't respect him.
• 53:24
  I actually respect Tiki.
• 53:25
  No.
• 53:26
  And, and Tiki's always had a really good reputation and I've never worked with him or I don't
• 53:29
  think I've ever even met him.
• 53:30
  I think I would remember, listen, I am.
• 53:33
  I am just a human.
• 53:34
  I am just a woman.
• 53:35
  I played a softball game with him and he made a sweet diving cat.
• 53:39
  I would love to see it.
• 53:40
  Okay.
• 53:41
  So good looking cat.
• 53:42
  You know, and so I'm, I, I not to objectify him because he was a great football player
• 53:46
  and also is a much better analyst than that take.
• 53:49
  So I'm just going to leave it there.
• 53:50
  Well, let's switch it over to our final segment of the show, pop culture corner, Tanya.
• 53:55
  What are we talking about tonight?
• 53:57
  Well with the Knicks on the verge of the NBA finals title, hopefully again, we have a couple
• 54:01
  more games of this.
• 54:03
  There's lots of discussion about celebrity fans.
• 54:07
  We saw a lot of really hyped celebrity fans last night, the most probably.
• 54:11
  So we had, we had the obvious ones.
• 54:13
  We had the Timmy Chalamet's and the, and Taylor Swift, Seinfeld, Stiller and Mariska Hargitay,
• 54:20
  you know, the usual suspects and of course the king of Knicks fans and maybe perhaps
• 54:26
  of sports fans, Spike Lee.
• 54:28
  So I was thinking like, I feel like this is a very big, well, that's what I'm, we're gonna
• 54:32
  talk about.
• 54:33
  This is a very big moment for like anytime a New York team or an LA team is in a finals,
• 54:38
  we're seeing a lot of celebrities.
• 54:40
  Let's talk about it.
• 54:43
  What if you had to, you know, choose and you don't have to pick one, maybe there's a couple,
• 54:46
  maybe there are people that jump out to you who are the most iconic sort of like you think
• 54:54
  of them and you know that they're a sports fan, most iconic celebrity sports fans of
• 54:58
  all time.
• 54:59
  I mean, this one's not iconic, but he's the one that, you know, is a sports fan.
• 55:03
  Jason Sudeikis.
• 55:04
  Okay.
• 55:05
  When I see Jason Sudeikis at an event, I know like he fucking loves this and then he was
• 55:10
  a former athlete in college and I think he, he really appreciates it quite a bit.
• 55:16
  When I think of certain baseball teams, I do think there's a sizable Kansas City contingent
• 55:21
  like John Hamms and the Paul Rudds that kind of always band together with Chiefs and Royals
• 55:25
  games.
• 55:27
  And what's his name from Modern Family as well?
• 55:29
  Herbstreet?
• 55:30
  Not Herbstreet.
• 55:31
  Stone Street.
• 55:32
  Eric Stonestreet.
• 55:33
  Eric Stonestreet.
• 55:34
  And then-
• 55:35
  And they're all big Chiefs fans as well.
• 55:36
  Big Chiefs fans.
• 55:38
  But yeah, it's hard not, but the thing where it gets the most play is always the two major
• 55:42
  cities, New York and LA.
• 55:44
  And I think New York's a little more in your face with it, especially with the Knicks games.
• 55:48
  I think LA-
• 55:49
  Well, they have a more authentic stadium fan base.
• 55:52
  I don't think that Knicks fans are like more authentic fans than-
• 55:55
  No, no.
• 55:56
  I agree.
• 55:57
  As far as in the arena, the Lakers arena and experience, even in a final situation, is
• 56:03
  not the same as the Knicks.
• 56:04
  I would agree with that.
• 56:05
  I would absolutely agree with that.
• 56:06
  Just because we do, this is a city of transplants, people who have a lot of money who are going
• 56:10
  to these games and showing up.
• 56:12
  There's a more, there's maybe a more authentic feeling.
• 56:15
  But there, I would, you know, I'll say this for Lakers representation.
• 56:20
  I grew up associating, like before I even really knew what kind of an actor he was,
• 56:26
  Jack Nicholson was a Lakers fan.
• 56:28
  Jack Nicholson at Lakers games, Spike Lee at Knicks games felt like this pinnacle.
• 56:35
  They were staples, man.
• 56:36
  They were staples.
• 56:37
  And so-
• 56:38
  Until Jack unfortunately aged out and kind of doesn't go out anymore.
• 56:40
  Yeah, he doesn't, he's not there anymore.
• 56:42
  But like to me, he's still like there.
• 56:43
  Like that's, that he made his stamp, like for how famous he was, both of those are like
• 56:49
  extremely prestigious film people, obviously a director and an actor.
• 56:54
  And they sort of, their fandom was like inarguable, right?
• 57:00
  These are not bandwagon.
• 57:01
  These are not people showing up.
• 57:02
  No, that's what they do.
• 57:03
  You know, they're there.
• 57:04
  Hardcore.
• 57:05
  It was a part of their identity, specifically for, I think, I give the edge to Spike Lee
• 57:10
  because New York is such a big part of his films.
• 57:14
  It is.
• 57:15
  It is.
• 57:16
  Do the right thing.
• 57:17
  I mean, shoe culture is a big part of his films.
• 57:19
  The Nike commercials he did through the 90s with his character Mars that he had from the
• 57:23
  movie.
• 57:24
  God, it's my favorite Spike Lee movie.
• 57:26
  It's wrong with me.
• 57:27
  She's got to have it.
• 57:28
  Yeah.
• 57:29
  Yeah, no.
• 57:31
  I would honestly say if we're going to really pick one person as a fan of the Knicks, I'd
• 57:34
  say of the celebrity.
• 57:36
  Number one is Spike Lee.
• 57:37
  Unquestionably.
• 57:38
  If I'm going to do a celebrity for the Lakers, number one is Jack Nicholson.
• 57:41
  Unquestionably.
• 57:42
  Philadelphia has some good famous sports fans as well.
• 57:45
  I mean, Bradley Cooper is genuinely a hardcore Philly fan.
• 57:48
  Big time.
• 57:49
  Hardcore Philly sports fan.
• 57:51
  And Boston has a lot of a lot of famous, you got the Damon's, so many famous people out
• 57:57
  of Boston.
• 57:58
  So I'll tell you this.
• 57:59
  When I met Matt Damon and Ben Affleck on the set of The Rip, me and Matt talked for like
• 58:02
  30 minutes.
• 58:03
  He was wearing this coat, this big old coat that had a bunch of sewn on that he sewed
• 58:07
  on patches of like every like Boston sports anything.
• 58:11
  And it was just covered in them.
• 58:13
  And I thought that was really kind of cool.
• 58:14
  It was just something he's just passionate about.
• 58:16
  No, they are.
• 58:17
  They're not like fake fans like they're real.
• 58:19
  When you see them, like when they did those like dunking commercials with Tom Brady or
• 58:22
  when they could ever like, they'll like do the they'll invite those things and then they'll
• 58:26
  go on like someone's podcast and be like, bro, I got to throw the ball with Tom Brady.
• 58:30
  Like they like freak out.
• 58:31
  They're fucking fans.
• 58:32
  Like they lose their minds.
• 58:34
  I will say neither one of them is my top Boston sports fan celebrity.
• 58:39
  OK, let me let me try to think who the Boston celebrity would be then.
• 58:43
  I don't know.
• 58:44
  I know it's Bill Simmons.
• 58:45
  No, I know you love Bill.
• 58:47
  I don't think you're going to get this one because it's Boston celebrity because there's
• 58:51
  a lot of them, though.
• 58:52
  So there's a ton.
• 58:53
  There's a ton of Boston.
• 58:54
  That was going to be one of my guesses, but there's no universe.
• 58:58
  I think you picked John Krasinski, so like Elizabeth Banks, there's all these people
• 59:02
  that are from the area.
• 59:04
  But there's I get a hint, but you can.
• 59:07
  He is.
• 59:08
  He.
• 59:09
  OK, it's a he.
• 59:10
  A person.
• 59:11
  Yeah.
• 59:12
  And you don't like his brother.
• 59:15
  Oh, for fuck's sake, I actually love Donnie.
• 59:18
  Well, yeah, I would like to take that back because Mark Wahlberg sucks famously could
• 59:23
  have stopped 9-11.
• 59:24
  His words, not mine.
• 59:27
  And yeah.
• 59:28
  Yeah.
• 59:29
  Donnie Wahlberg.
• 59:30
  I love me some Donnie.
• 59:31
  Donnie.
• 59:32
  Donnie.
• 59:33
  And he's sort of that, like because he's a like you, right?
• 59:34
  So I know he's a big Celtics guy.
• 59:36
  He's a big everything.
• 59:37
  OK, I didn't know that all Boston sports as Celtics is his big thing.
• 59:41
  But the thing about Donny is like he is sort of the like, you know, he's always on some,
• 59:46
  you know, TV show or whatever else, but he's always the one that's voicing stuff over and
• 59:50
  doing stuff with the local teams.
• 59:51
  And he's still very Boston centric, whereas Mark is just Los Angeles at this point.
• 59:55
  But like that's that's the guy he lead.
• 59:57
  The passion is real, like really beautiful stories about becoming a fan and like with
• 1:00:01
  his dad and whatever.
• 1:00:02
  So, yeah, where I think if I had to pick for boss for Boston specifically, it's Donnie
• 1:00:07
  Wahlberg.
• 1:00:08
  He's on more likely Jack Nicholson in terms of his fame.
• 1:00:12
  But in terms of like, you know, his he's done, I mean, yeah, he's done really good.
• 1:00:19
  I understand.
• 1:00:20
  I know Mark's made more money, but Donnie's made some money.
• 1:00:24
  He's got that.
• 1:00:25
  He's got that blue blood's money because that went like 10 seasons.
• 1:00:27
  He's also now he's got a spinoff show.
• 1:00:29
  I mean, he's new kids on the block, new kids on the block.
• 1:00:31
  Like he's a new kid on the block is not too shabby.
• 1:00:34
  So, you know, we've got to give him credit.
• 1:00:36
  If you're ever at Boston Logan Airport, Wahlburgers is the best place to get a burger.
• 1:00:40
  I refuse just because I don't like putting any money in Mark's pocket, but it is actually
• 1:00:44
  a decent burger.
• 1:00:45
  I refuse to put money in Mark Wahlberg's pocket.
• 1:00:49
  We had a couple of suggestions from my Instagram.
• 1:00:52
  I put out a prompt to see if anybody had any suggestions and we had.
• 1:00:57
  So this one I did know about and I forgot Elton John and Watford, which is an English
• 1:01:02
  primarily team.
• 1:01:04
  There's even their stories about that one.
• 1:01:06
  What do you mean?
• 1:01:07
  So, you know, every soccer thing has like a song about it.
• 1:01:10
  So Wofford fans sang a song specifically about Elton John.
• 1:01:14
  Oh, wow.
• 1:01:15
  It is one.
• 1:01:16
  This is before the internet.
• 1:01:17
  Yeah.
• 1:01:18
  How did they get these intricate lyrics and it was all before like Elton John was openly
• 1:01:23
  out.
• 1:01:24
  Yeah.
• 1:01:25
  And it was about him being a gay homosexual.
• 1:01:28
  There's a strong there's a strong argument that English Premier League fans and or soccer
• 1:01:33
  fans in general and their chants are like are like prescient because you're right.
• 1:01:38
  I don't they will make them up by the way.
• 1:01:40
  Like a new story will come out the next day.
• 1:01:43
  There will be a four verse song that the whole I'm like, where did you proliferate this?
• 1:01:49
  How did you?
• 1:01:50
  They're harmonizing.
• 1:01:51
  It's nuts.
• 1:01:53
  Fucking batshit.
• 1:01:54
  It's really nice.
• 1:01:55
  Does this by the way, I think it's a little out of sight out of mind for us because I
• 1:01:58
  don't think we are as in tune to what's going on in like Japan.
• 1:02:00
  Japan same exact thing.
• 1:02:01
  Yeah.
• 1:02:02
  In baseball.
• 1:02:03
  They have a song for every fucking hitter that comes to the plate.
• 1:02:06
  They sing it throughout the it's fucking wild.
• 1:02:08
  And now but do they do the thing that the Premier League fans or the English fans do
• 1:02:11
  where they like something happens the night before and somehow they have a full song ready
• 1:02:15
  to go the day of that.
• 1:02:16
  I don't know.
• 1:02:17
  It's like that.
• 1:02:18
  I'm like, they're like, he just got arrested.
• 1:02:20
  We did it now.
• 1:02:21
  How did you?
• 1:02:22
  And why are you all?
• 1:02:23
  How do you know the lyrics already?
• 1:02:25
  He hired a divorce attorney.
• 1:02:28
  His name is John Paul.
• 1:02:29
  How do you know my divorce attorney?
• 1:02:30
  I hired him an hour ago.
• 1:02:31
  It's so funny.
• 1:02:32
  Okay.
• 1:02:33
  I love this.
• 1:02:34
  We got Jack Nicholson, Spike Lee, Ashley Judd for Kentucky basketball.
• 1:02:35
  Ashley Judd is a huge.
• 1:02:36
  She is a huge Kentucky basketball fan.
• 1:02:37
  Yeah.
• 1:02:38
  Yeah.
• 1:02:39
  Yeah.
• 1:02:40
  No, that is this.
• 1:02:41
  She is like a very notable sports fan.
• 1:02:42
  Yeah.
• 1:02:43
  Yeah.
• 1:02:44
  This is like this is not a like a deep cut.
• 1:02:45
  Yeah.
• 1:02:46
  Well, you know, you got Ashley Judd this episode.
• 1:02:47
  I got Tiki.
• 1:02:48
  Yeah.
• 1:02:49
  Yep.
• 1:02:50
  So double jeopardy.
• 1:02:51
  Double jeopardy.
• 1:02:52
  Oh, yeah.
• 1:02:53
  That's classic.
• 1:02:54
  Chef's kiss.
• 1:02:55
  And the spider one with, um, with, uh, along came a spider, which I was actually dead
• 1:02:56
  as well.
• 1:02:57
  Right?
• 1:02:58
  Yeah.
• 1:02:59
  By the way, I just, Chris and I were like, Oh my God.
• 1:03:00
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:01
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:02
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:03
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:04
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:05
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:06
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:07
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:08
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:09
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:10
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:11
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:12
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:13
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:15
  Oh my God.
• 1:03:16
  So Chris and I were just watching a movie where, so I was googling how old Morgan Freeman
• 1:03:18
  was.
• 1:03:19
  He is 90 years old.
• 1:03:20
  He is very old.
• 1:03:21
  In fact, my favorite thing about Morgan Freeman is none of his award winning work.
• 1:03:24
  My favorite thing he ever did was the Electric Company in the 1970s.
• 1:03:26
  Okay, well, in case you don't know what the Electric Company was, it was a children's
• 1:03:30
  television show.
• 1:03:31
  He played just one of the cast members of the show.
• 1:03:33
  And they always did these live action Spider-Man shorts and they were fucking terrible.
• 1:03:40
  And if you would have told me that that guy right there was going to be one of our greatest
• 1:03:43
  actors of all time who narrates everything, I would have said, you're fucking nuts.
• 1:03:48
  But I love Morgan Freeman more than I love most deceased family members.
• 1:03:51
  Okay, fair enough.
• 1:03:52
  And you know what?
• 1:03:53
  I'm glad he's still alive at 90 because I looked up how old he was and I was like, Jesus,
• 1:03:57
  I didn't.
• 1:03:58
  He's been older whole lives.
• 1:04:01
  You know, like he's been, he's always been exactly the same.
• 1:04:02
  Yeah.
• 1:04:03
  So I think who else has been?
• 1:04:04
  Steve Martin's been exactly the same.
• 1:04:05
  Exactly.
• 1:04:06
  Like, like they're ageless in that way.
• 1:04:10
  Because we were born in the 80s, grew up in the 90s and early 2000s.
• 1:04:13
  If they were already had gray hair then and they have gray hair now, they're the same
• 1:04:16
  age.
• 1:04:17
  Yeah.
• 1:04:18
  There's always been that thing.
• 1:04:19
  So in that way, specifically, Morgan Freeman's been old and young this entire time.
• 1:04:23
  Exactly.
• 1:04:24
  But my friend Andy Dufresne walked through a mile of shit.
• 1:04:30
  Thank you.
• 1:04:31
  I appreciate that.
• 1:04:32
  Fucking love the show.
• 1:04:33
  All right.
• 1:04:34
  So did we land?
• 1:04:35
  Did we decide on the official?
• 1:04:36
  I think, I think I'm going to say Spike.
• 1:04:38
  But you can, if you have, I'm going to give you a spike for now because I don't feel because
• 1:04:44
  I feel because Anthony Kiedis is such a Dodger guy.
• 1:04:48
  What's the drummer's name?
• 1:04:49
  What's my, uh, for Red Hot Chili Peppers.
• 1:04:52
  He's an all LA sports guy, but I don't think he's, he's not the face of the Red Hot Chili
• 1:04:56
  Peppers.
• 1:04:57
  So I don't think I can give.
• 1:04:58
  Yeah.
• 1:04:59
  Chad Smith.
• 1:05:00
  Chad.
• 1:05:01
  Obviously we all know looks identical to Will Ferrell.
• 1:05:02
  They've been doing a long, long ongoing bit about that.
• 1:05:05
  Great.
• 1:05:06
  Chad Smith is actually way up there.
• 1:05:09
  He's at every sporting event in LA, but the lexicon of comparing it to Jack Nicholson,
• 1:05:14
  specifically just, there are a lot of good Dodger fans, but if based on the context you're
• 1:05:18
  giving me and I'm going to give it to Spike and here's why I haven't seen Jack in a long
• 1:05:23
  time.
• 1:05:24
  And that's why if Jack was still going, Jack wins this battle, but Spike's been there every
• 1:05:30
  day and making movies that are odes and love letters to not only New York, but, but like
• 1:05:36
  you said, adding the sports movie, black Klansman.
• 1:05:39
  No, no, no, no, no.
• 1:05:41
  He made a movie last year with Denzel, um, highest, lowest, Oh, I didn't know he made
• 1:05:46
  that.
• 1:05:47
  I didn't see it.
• 1:05:48
  Isn't he good?
• 1:05:49
  I haven't seen it.
• 1:05:50
  Oh shit.
• 1:05:51
  I got to check it out.
• 1:05:52
  Um, I fucking, I fucking love a Spike Lee joint by the way.
• 1:05:53
  I just watched man on fire again for the first time and like Tony Scott rest in peace.
• 1:05:58
  I like, I had, I had not seen it to the, I don't know if I had ever seen it like fully
• 1:06:03
  through, but it came out when we were at like in high school.
• 1:06:07
  Yeah.
• 1:06:08
  And so I don't remember ever actually fully seeing it.
• 1:06:09
  And Denzel's my favorite actor.
• 1:06:10
  And I was like, but I had been putting it off because I knew it was emotional.
• 1:06:12
  Like I'm not big.
• 1:06:13
  I really can't just like sit down and watch kid gets kidnapped.
• 1:06:18
  By the way.
• 1:06:19
  I love the equalizer, but I have a problem with equalizer.
• 1:06:21
  It's just a worse man on fire.
• 1:06:22
  Oh, this is like man on fire, but like so much worse.
• 1:06:27
  I mean, it's like Tony Scott, like in full Tony Scott, it's way over stylized by the
• 1:06:33
  way.
• 1:06:34
  I'm sure we'll make an argument.
• 1:06:35
  That movie set a bad precedent for Hollywood because everyone tried to make the exact same
• 1:06:39
  type of movie.
• 1:06:40
  And it was like, it was like, Hey, I don't know that I needed all this even specifically
• 1:06:42
  from Tony Scott, but I definitely don't need it.
• 1:06:44
  Don't need it from you.
• 1:06:45
  Um, but like it works because Denzel's Denzel and Dakota Fanning was Dakota Fanning and
• 1:06:48
  like they're, they were fucking perfect.
• 1:06:51
  But there was a couple of parts where I was like, Tony, you have got to tone down the
• 1:06:54
  Tony.
• 1:06:55
  You've got to tone it down.
• 1:06:56
  It wasn't Tony.
• 1:06:57
  Tony wasn't toning down.
• 1:06:58
  Tony back then.
• 1:06:59
  That was, that was Tony feeling his heights.
• 1:07:01
  Coked up and Tony's like, and then we're going to do every fucking shot, every shot.
• 1:07:08
  There's gonna be a jet fighter.
• 1:07:10
  Why is there a jet fighter?
• 1:07:11
  Don't fucking worry about it.
• 1:07:13
  I don't know if that's how Tony Scott spoke.
• 1:07:16
  Rest in peace.
• 1:07:17
  You are amazing director.
• 1:07:18
  Yeah.
• 1:07:19
  We miss you forever.
• 1:07:20
  Um, all right.
• 1:07:21
  Well, you did it.
• 1:07:22
  We, um, we got to clear out of here soon.
• 1:07:23
  We got, there's, there's plans by the pool.
• 1:07:24
  Yep.
• 1:07:25
  Things need to be done.
• 1:07:26
  People are renting the space.
• 1:07:27
  We must skid.
• 1:07:28
  We got to let them use the Oasis.
• 1:07:30
  Uh, great show.
• 1:07:31
  Excellent.
• 1:07:32
  Talking about with you by the time we talk to you next on Monday.
• 1:07:35
  So wait, when is, when is games four and game five will be on Saturday?
• 1:07:41
  Okay.
• 1:07:42
  So we would be gearing up for gay.
• 1:07:44
  We would be gearing up for game six.
• 1:07:45
  If so, we'll either be talking about the Knicks being title winners or we'll be preparing
• 1:07:49
  for game six.
• 1:07:50
  Either way.
• 1:07:51
  I'm hoping for game six.
• 1:07:52
  I'm also hoping for game six.
• 1:07:53
  Yeah.
• 1:07:54
  I don't want this to end.
• 1:07:55
  I mean this one.
• 1:07:56
  I don't know.
• 1:07:57
  I'm not ready for it to end either.
• 1:07:58
  Once this is over, it's the worst part of the baseball season.
• 1:08:03
  It's the worst part of the sports calendar and I get a little depressed, but you know
• 1:08:07
  what?
• 1:08:08
  We got, we got an all-star week coming up.
• 1:08:10
  That's always phenomenal.
• 1:08:11
  We got all-star week and we got, and we can also start transitioning into some of the
• 1:08:14
  WNBA stuff, which has been interesting.
• 1:08:16
  We have world cup, world cup could be fun.
• 1:08:18
  Please guys, please guys get into the world cup.
• 1:08:20
  It's fun.
• 1:08:21
  We're going to make it fun for you.
• 1:08:22
  Okay.
• 1:08:23
  Like just a little, we're going to watch some games.
• 1:08:24
  We're going to get into it.
• 1:08:25
  Um, and yeah, uh, I think that's it.
• 1:08:27
  We don't have time to talk about, we did talk about the 2004 Red Sox today.
• 1:08:30
  We did, but we couldn't talk about the fucking bloody sock.
• 1:08:32
  You know why?
• 1:08:33
  Everybody thought we were about to.
• 1:08:34
  But you know why?
• 1:08:35
  Yeah.
• 1:08:36
  Because in the lexicon of the 2004 Boston Red Sox, all of those things happened except
• 1:08:43
  for that.
• 1:08:44
  So we don't need to talk about it.
• 1:08:45
  The bloody sock?
• 1:08:46
  We don't need to talk about it.
• 1:08:47
  You don't think the bloody sock, yeah, again, you're still, you're standing on business
• 1:08:49
  that the bloody sock was not real.
• 1:08:51
  Fuck her chilling.
• 1:08:52
  Fuck her chilling.
