  Speaker 1: in the place to be My main man on the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: ones and twos The Human Sports Almanac, the legend himself
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Jason Baum. I have not watched the SPS in quite
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: some time. Obviously there's clips that circulate, but me personally,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I have not watched the spis bomb. First and foremost,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: how are you feeling and how much of the SPS
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: did you watch?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Goody, life is good. My fast pitch team was on
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Upsettlert last night, but we came out of it. Okay,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: shot up my guy Luke in a three run bomb.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, fat, there's there's there's fast pitch kickball.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what's the I mean, what explained to me
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the difference between fast pitch and slow pitch kickball?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Slow pitch kickballs when you played in pee, they just
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: rolled the ball to you. In fast pitch, you can
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: pitch any sort of way that you choose, as long
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: as the ball gets to the plate on at least
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: two bounces.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, so when it goes over to play, it can
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: be in mid air.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Interesting, Yeah, it's it's it's tough, man. But
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: our team was we were playing like the third worst
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: team in the league last night, and we ran. We
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: ran in some trouble. But my guy Luke had some
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: clutch pitching. Got a couple of fielders choices with the
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: bases yak and one out, and then comes up the
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: next inning it gets a three run bomb, a couple
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: of leads. The cup of depicit the five to four.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: If we're able to take the game from.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: There, shout to Luke. Luke sounds like the sho heel
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: tatany in this league.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: He's pretty good, man, he's Uh, he's very multi fact.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: You can also play the outfit and played at a
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: very high level.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, you boys, fast pitch, fast pitch kickball is crazy.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: But you watched the tournament. To watch the tournament when
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I'm back in February.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Uh, I'll pass.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I spent enough time at you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: people's sporting events. I think I'll pass on that one.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But uh, that is interesting at this fast pitch and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: slow pitch. But yeah, man, the Spies, uh the Knicks
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: with the clean sweep. The Knicks go out there, they
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: win all five Spis that either the players of the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: team are nominated for Brunson got three himself Best Male Athlete,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Best NBA Player, Best Championship Performance. OG got it for
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: best shot, and then the entire team won for Best Team.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And I have not stopped celebrating this championship. I probably
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: never will. And last night really got me back in
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: all the fields I I had, uh had a little
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: something to celebrate yesterday. So you know, I've got got
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a bottle of wine and you know, had to start,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you know, have myself, you know, a few glasses. And
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: as I'm sitting there and you know, I'm pulling up.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: You know, I watched the comeback from Game four last night.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I watched the you know, the last like eight minutes
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of Game five, the clincher. Last night, I watched a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: couple other videos about bruntson and I mean, like you know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I actually watched the SP's but wasn't able to see
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the very end, so I didn't see Cat's speech, and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I watched that last night, and his speech is phenomenal.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Cat. I'm telling you, man, Cat is a guy.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: You put him in front of a microphone or in
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: front of a screen, and he does very very well.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know about being much of an actor when
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you're when you're seven feet tall. But he's just just
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: he's just a well spoken guy. And you know, you
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: could tell he was prepared, and uh, his speech was dynamite.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: It was fantastic. It was so good. It literally brought
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: it to you to my eye.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: And I'm just continue to just bask in this, all
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: this Knicks love. I saw a guy today in Arizona.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Saw a guy today had on my bruns in Jersey
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and he was like, yo, your Knicks man. He's like,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I'm from Cali. I'm a Lakers fan, but I enjoyed
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: watching you guys, and I made a lot of money.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I kept they kept they kept, you know, doubting you guys.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: They kept making the odds rough against you guys, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I just kept going, just kept hitting it. I saw
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that if you made a one hundred dollars bet when
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the Knicks started their thirteen game winning streak and you
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: just continue to let it ride throughout the rest of it,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I want to say, it was like I might have
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: been in the millions that you would have won. It
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: was some crazy number.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Like God, damn.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I personally don't bet on the next I try my
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: best not too because I realized that I'm not.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I'm not you know, I'm biased.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Though, if this last playoff run, if I would have
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you know, went ahead and uh just wrote it out
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: with them, I would have done. Okay, But I'll take
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the championship over a little bit of extra money, no doubt,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: for sure. But if it's in the millions, I guess
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that's not a little bit right. But yeah, I also
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: got the customs. The Customs came in, the custom shoes.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, brom, don't you got goody?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I actually found a tweet, not about the exact winning streak,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: but if you had bet one hundred dollars on the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Knicks in each of their lowest points of their four
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: finals comeback wins, you would have turned one hundred dollars
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: into roughly twenty four point four.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Mils if you live, so so, if you live, bet
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: when they were down twenty nine or when they were
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: down twenty two against Cleveland.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, Oh yeah, game no in the in each
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: of the four finals.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Games okay, okay.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Game one down sixteen, game two down eighteen, game four
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: to twenty nine, game five fifteen, Yeah, and you'd be
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: really rich right now.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And if and if we only played forty six
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: minute games, the you know, the Spurs would have won.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: For one. You know, I.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Think the quotes that continue to come out of that
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: organization about they're just of accountability and inability to give
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the Knicks any credit.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: I'm telling y'all now, it's so clear to me that Pop.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Is you know, is not as involved as you know
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: he clearly once was when he was the president and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the coach, and you know you thought that he was
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: still kind of, you know, overseeing things. I just can't
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: imagine Pop or you know, guys like Duncan or Genoblei
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: or Parker talking like this. It really is crazy, But
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I hope it adds fuel to the fire.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I saw Jayalen Brunson have a quote the other day
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: where they were talking to him and he was talking,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: we're talking about next season and how hey man, I'm
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I'm you know, I obviously people are gonna be coming
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: for us. Obviously you're still gonna have naysayers. And if
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you want to go back and you want to be
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: able to repeat the type of work that you're gonna
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: have to put in, you're gonna have to be better
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: than you were last season and JB feeling that way
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and already thinking like that, and he said, he said,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: he said, I forget exactly what the quote was, but
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: he said something about, well, you know, not only he said,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you know, there's there's some there's some things that we're
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: gonna need to be able to do to be able
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to continue to raise the level. And I feel like
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I already know what those things are. And I love that.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I loved that.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: He's just the consummate leader. He's the best. He's just
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: he's the best everything.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I just you can't get this guy more accolades. I mean,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: it's just great that they went up there they swept
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the s because it was like a whole.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Like New Knicks parade.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And he's also, uh, he's just getting his props all
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: over everywhere.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: You can't deny this guy anymore.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was listening to Cameron and stephen A
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: talk about him. I was listening to Big Perk with
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Rich Paul and Max Kellerman and you know, obviously Park
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: has been his biggest champion for some time now. But
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: you know, Rich Paul was talking about how he exposed Wemby.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: You know, Park was talking about how you know, yeah,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: like the fact that Wemby everybody went in looking for,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you know, him to dominate the series. He's gonna win
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year forever. And Brunching in that
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Game four comeback, he put Wemby in action twenty one times.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: And the.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Short that I put up from last episode, you know,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I one of the people commented on it. They were like,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I didn't even realize that, you know, Wemby was guarding
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: them as much until I watched this short, because I
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: put a bunch of clips of him just over and
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: over again on Wemby pulling up, hitting threes, going past
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: him doing his thing.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: And you know, it's just.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: The Spurs fans on Twitter and how hard they cope
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and how much they are trying to figure every way
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: to say, oh you just well, you guys got that one,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: but you'll never get it again. You know, the Spurs
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: will be this and be that. Listen, we'll see what happened.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens, but we know what happened. And
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: you know, at some point you just gotta you just
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: gotta take some time and just give the give JB
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: and give the team some props. And that's what most
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: of the world was doing your occasional spurf and the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: pacer fans.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Are real bitter.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Oh well, so and so wasn't healthy and this and that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a very interestingly titled article that came
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: out and it was like, you know why this Knicks
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: championship was, uh, you know why everything had to you know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: fall fall its way and other teams that like it,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: this has happened for And all it did was just
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: list literally every single team for the last however many
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: years and all the different things that had to happen
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: and go their way for the team to win a championship.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: First and foremost, you've gotta have injury health. You gotta
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: have injury luck. And secondly, you know, you gotta get
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: hot to a certain extent, and there's always going to
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: be oh well, this guy was hurt, so this team
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: wasn't as good or this happened or that happened. At
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, the you know, sixteen and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: three largest point differential in the history of the NBA
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: in a playoffs plus fourteen a half points per game
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: we were talking about then, and uh, yo, I look,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: JB always looks smooth. Everybody wearing black and white. I
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: love the fact that everybody at the SP's was looking good,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you know, with the nixt they're they're they're classy, they
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: they they they all obviously communicated, and they came in.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Nobody's wearing no stupid shit. There's nobody's wearing a mustard
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: leather suit or no dumb shit like that. So yeah,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I just I'm happy. I'm happy to see the guys
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: do their thing, and uh, I was real happy to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: get these in. These are the customs that I got
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: after we won the chip. I tell you, the custom shoes,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the custom Nikes, and I've gotten some custom vans before too.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: They make them a little bit better when they're making
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: that one of one shoe. You put that shit on
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: your foot and you feel it. It's like this is
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit more comfortable than the mass produced touts,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the you know that you that I typically get.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Bom. Have you ever got any custom shoes?
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: I've actually I had a custom pair of baseball leads
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: once in high school. They're pretty sick. I did want
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: to jump in on a couple of things. First off,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: for other things to go right, you know, in a
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: championship run, you also need to play forty eight minutes
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: of basketball, not forty six looking at you, Spurs, and
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: you can't win games analytically either. You got to just
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: win the actual game. In terms of the Brunton quote,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: he said, you definitely lose a lot of time, obviously
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: for the right reason. We got it done to be
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: able to go through the summer and realize, all right,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: there's a lot on your plate now. How are you
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: going to remain hungry, How are you going to remain focused?
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: How are you going to push the envelope for you
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: to be better next time? So those are all questions
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I believe I have the answers to. I feel like
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I know what I'm doing to push myself. But only
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: time will a time.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Yo.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Man, that shit gets me fired up, Yo, that shit
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: gets me fucking go. Let's go, JB. Let's go. Got
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the whole band back together except for Mitch. Mitch is
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: out there practicing threes and in Boston. Yo, I'll tell
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: you if they start letting it shoot threes or if
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: he if this motherfucker goes and shoots like sixty five
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: percent for the lot, I'm gonna be pissed. Okay, don't
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: fucking all of a sudden learn how to shoot free throws.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: That would piss me off, But I'm speaking of shooting. Yo,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Tyler Nickel, double Nickel, where's fifty five?
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: That motherfucker's gonna play this year because he can shoot? Man,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: he can't shoot, and he can. He's not like just
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you know, I have to be standing here with my
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: feet said, no, no, no, no. He is a very
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: versati shooter and he can play a little d If
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: he can seriously, if he can stick on the floor
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: on the defensive end, then he's gonna he's gonna really, really,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: really be a contributor this year. And Mo Diauara he's
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: he's a better overall player, but he can't shoot like him, man,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: And that ship is just so valuable in this league.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: When you put him on the floor with a Brunton,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: what you're gonna do? You gotta stick close to him.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: And if you're sticking close to him, Brunton has more
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: room to operate. So he's gonna play.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I saw somebody the other day ask is you know,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: is Brunson a better winner than Kyrie? Okay, so if
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: we're talking winner, you got a couple of players in
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the league that are stars that have four rings currently,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: you know, and Steph and and and Bron, so it's
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: hard to put him over them. But if we're just
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: talking about in the like, you know, just entire basketball career,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: when you look at high school, college and now winning
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a chip in the NBA being finals m v P,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you can make an argument he's the best winner in
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the NBA right now. I saw somebody talking about Winter
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: in sports. I think a guy like a Patrick Mahomes
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: is still probably somebody you got to talk about. You know,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Dodgers just one two back to back, so you know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Toni is a baseball player unlike anything we've ever seen.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: So that's that's part of that conversation. But I think overall,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I mean other than than than than then Bron and
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and uh and Steph, who are we talking about in
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the NBA? And I mean that's the thing. A guy
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: like a Kyrie going into this last season, it'd be
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: really hard to find many basketball fans that aren't Knicks
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: fans that would say that Jalen Brunson is better than
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving. I think that's totally flipped now. I think
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: almost everybody would say that Jalen Brunson is as good
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: as him in his head, as good of.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: A career as him.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Honestly, Kyrie oft injured and you know JB did it
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: as the unequivocal best player in his team. Kyrie was
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: not that he was playing with Lebron. James with with
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: prime Lebron. So I got him over Kyrie, and you
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: know I would There's you know, there's nuanced conversations best
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: player in the league, Who I would you who I
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: would have if I.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Was starting a team, Because the starting a team.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Thing is okay, no matter what other for I put
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: with him, He's going to be effective.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: That's not Brunson.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Brunson is a guy who you need four other guys
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: guy who are first of all, willing to let him
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: have the keys. If Brunston's not shooting twenty times a
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: game at least I'm saying seventeen eighteen times a game,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: then you're not getting your best value from him. If
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: he's not, you know, dominating the ball and making the
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: decisions in the fourth quarter, again, you're not getting the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: best out of him. Part of what bright s Brunston
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: so great is that you know he's playing with his
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: two best with two of his best friends, his teammates
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: from back in the day. You know, the Knicks have
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: maximized him and amplified him as much as you possibly can.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: So I think if you're talking about, like, what's the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: player that I would take if I was starting a
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: team right now, because if I take this player and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I had four other all Stars, then are you know
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: four other players that he's going to be the one that,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: no matter what, he's going to be super effective.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I think you gotta go Joker.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Joker could play with anybody because Joker could take ten
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: shots a game and still be extremely, extremely dangerous and effective.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: So I got Joker, and you know he might average
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: seventeen assists a game if I got you know, a
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: bunch of other guys who can really play around them.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: But I think if you put like Brunson with a
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: guy like say, like Aunt, I don't think that makes sense.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: That's the thing about the Knicks is that it's you know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: it's not a bunch of guys just thrown together. It
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: is the It is a team that has been there's
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: not a better Big three and three guys who compliment
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: each other and who do a variety of thing that
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: when you put them together, it now gives you elite
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: as the things that matter most in basketball. Then Karl
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Anthony towns Og and Nobi and Jalen Brunson best big
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: three in the league, point blank period. You know there's
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: these teams like Philadelphia they try to throw together. You know,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I'm this guy, this guy, and this guy. But no,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: not Maxie. You're taking away from Maxi by Adam Jayalen Brown.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: You're stunting him. You're stunting his growth, his development, his
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: development into a big time superstar in this league, which
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I think Maxi has the potential to be that mother.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: He's got to be a fastest student. When that guy's
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, I don't know many people
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: that are getting up and down the floor or just
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you know, closing down the space like he does. But
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you that Philly team, I don't think it's
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: gonna work. I don't think it's gonna work. And I
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: think if they add Bron that just makes it real
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: hectic over there. But Jesus, this whole Bron thing, I mean, fucker,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver came out the other day and said, Yo, man,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: we can't make the schedule. It's just do won't, won't
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: tell us what steam he picks. I feel like he's
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: got to have it figured out already. I've seen so
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: many different theories. Oh well, he's gonna wait for this
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: dead time or wait for after this is over. But uh,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: who knows. I don't know, man, But yo, he come on, Bron,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: let's go. I want to know.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: At this point, I.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Was gonna say, at this point, it's kind of like
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: his other free agency stuff. He just wants really just
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: wants the attention on it. You know, it's like, man,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: make it high. But you know, there was some little
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: tea leaves today at the Fanatics Fanatics Xpo where he
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: was dropping from the process and all this, and now
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: everybody's thinking he's going to Philly. So we'll see. But yeah,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: he really doesn't make him his mind. But Adam Silver
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: also needs to just make the damn schedule.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: No, I mean listen, I get that, dude. I mean
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: look depending I mean no, he's fucking Lebron. What team
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: he's on, it's you know, drastically changes things. You know,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Christmas Day, Opening Day, shit, a random Thursday on a
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: T and T.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: What team he's on? Dress I get it. I get it.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I get it from Adam Silver's Adam Silver's point of view.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I feel like Lebron already knows he's just you know,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: this is just some like elaborate ritual of his that
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: he does, which I you know, I don't. I don't know, man,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I the whole like him winning attention. I would hope
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: that at this point he's he's that doesn't still do
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: it for him, that that's not still important to him.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: But it kind of seems like it, man, with both
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: him and Rich Paul the way that they're not even
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: kind of it kind of seems like it really fucking
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: seems like it between him and Rich Paul in the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: way that they're dragging this out, And you know, I
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: don't know. To me, I don't care, you know, it
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: really like it's like there's no team that he's gonna
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: get added to in the East that as a Knicks fan,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be like, oh shit, damn, Like, you know,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: now we gotta deal with this guy.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Nah.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Nah, I'm not worried about it.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: But we'll see, We'll see. Yo.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: What's up with the all these players complaining about taxes
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and how it's not that much money. The latest is
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Sebastian Telfair. You got some other guys who have done
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: it over the years, I mean going as far back
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: as you know, Spree my man having uh saying yeah
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: he has kids to feed, uh back in the day.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: But then you also have you know a few players
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: that have talked about this over time, and I think sometimes,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: you know, you got to realize, like Sebastian Telfair is
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: talking about how if you know, you look at his
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: twenty million that he made over the time he was
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: in the league, it really only came out to about
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: a million a year, which you know, ninety nine point
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: whatever percent of people will never come close to having
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: that so little tone deaf to be acting like, you know,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: that's no money. Especially, I mean, you were sembasted in Telfair.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: It's not like you were some great NBA player. You
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: were a great high school player. You were a very
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: hyped player, but you didn't have a very good career.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: So the fact that you came away with a million
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: dollars a year, I mean, you know you should probably
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: be uh pretty stoked about that.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Honestly, Yeah, very much agree with that. The other guy
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: who really kind of started that conversation aside from this
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: week where c J. McCollum was on I believe it
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: was CNBC and he was talking about it was Odell Beckham.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: He was on the Pivot with Ryan Clark and I
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: believe it was a Channing Crowder and he was talking
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: about how his one hundred million dollar contract like broke down,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: and he even mentioned in Donna's Lank even mentioned up
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: the place like I want to be able to flaunt it.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I can't flawn it like okay, boo boo.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: And if you want to be able to flaunt, there's
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: a cause for that. You know, they say it ain't
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: tricken if you got it, but you know you are
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: losing some of that brand you spend it out there,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: you flawing it if that's what's important to you. And
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: then you have the flip side, which, as you mentioned,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: like CJ McCollum, he talks about how he has continued
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: to live on the same budget he had back when
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: he wasn't sure if he was gonna get that second contract.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: He thought, you know, this first contract, this might be it,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: this might be all the money. So he's continued to
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: do that. You have the gronks of the world who
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: talk about how they like, I've never even touched my
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: football money. And then you know Kyle Kuzma. It's not
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: too often that I find myself, you know, agreeing with
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: or giving props to Kyle Kuzma. But he said, I'm
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: tired of hearing an athletes say that the millions of
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: dollars in contracts disappear after taxes and fees. Forty million
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: is forty million. The problem isn't the system, it's the lifestyle.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: No one told you to live like a king by
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: five cars and bring ten friends employees to live with you.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: It's okay to be modest, and they talk about it
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: like people are gonna feel empathy. People are using cash
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: back to buy food.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: What a trip?
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, listen, everybody's got to fucking pay taxes. I
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: mean Jesus, like like you if you don't at the
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: end of the day, Oh you know my hundred is
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: only really forty?
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Okay, well.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: You got forty, bro, you don't do something with the forty,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: you know, I shit, man, it's you know, there's a
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: certain level of money that once you get that level,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: you or your line should never worry about money again.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: And you don't have to be a genius. You can
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: pay people who are smart with money to take care
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: of you. Make sure you have another person who's looking
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: at them to make sure that they're not doing no
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: crazy fucking Burnie made.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Off type shit.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, Doug, come on, man,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I got I got no no sympathy for these guys.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: And I think it's a I think it's a bad
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: it's just a it's just it's a bad take. It's
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: not good. People don't like this. People don't like to
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: talk about shit like this, man, But people don't like
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: to hear this from from from you know, half percenters. Yeah,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the Mets, So Mets are having a fire sale basically everybody. Uh,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: but you know our outfield, uh, Nolan maclan and maybe
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Christian Scott are all on the block, it seems like,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: and that includes Francisco Lindor. According to some reports, the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: people that have reported it have not been like, you know,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: it's not you know, it's not Hayman reporting it or
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: you know, somebody who's really you know, close to the Mets,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: or anybody who's uh, you know, uh a quote unquote
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: reliable source. I would be so disappointed if the Mets
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: traded Francisco Lindor. He has not had a great year.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I've loved his tenure here. He's a solid fielder. He's
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: been not just a solid hitter, but I mean as
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: far as as far as shortstops are concerned, I mean,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: he's you know, one of the best hitters and the majors.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: You know, you've obviously had some young guys come up
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: here recently who probably knock him down a couple of
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: rungs on that ladder, but overall, you know, I just.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the plane.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Who's the who's the who's the guy that you're bringing
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: in to replace him? And as we've seen what the
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Mets recently, you know, when you want to make these
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: big moves and you want to and you want to,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: you know, get rid of these guys, it's not just
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: about like, oh, this guy isn't the guy who's replacing him.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: And you know, the Mets were able to pick up
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: a win in the first game out of the All
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Star Break. Maybe they go on some tour to run
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and make it interesting again, but you know, City field.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Is dead as it should be.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Actually, to be honest with you, the last time I
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: turned on a Mets game, it was the last game
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: before the break. I was, I don't know if it's
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: like I don't I remember. I don't remember which game
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: it was, but there was one game where I turned
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: it on. It was a day game, and I was like, damn,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: this is a pretty good crowd for a day game where,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: you know, for this team. But uh, if I am,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: if I'm David Stern's, you gotta be one of two ways.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: You either got to say, okay, I need to do
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: something like crazy, like like you don't give up a
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Lindor for a haul of picks to somebody. I'm sorry,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Hall of Prospects, I should say, or I just uh
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: at this point, man, you might want to kind of
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: like lay low to the end of the season, Doug,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: because you know they give out an award for you know,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Executive of the Year. You know he's he's he should
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: get like a penalty. He should have to like like
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: it should be like when you finished last place in
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the fantasy league and there's a penalty. David Stern should
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: have to do some shit because this has been an
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: absolute fucking disaster this past offseason and this season is
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: They've been a disaster, straight up. You can't look at
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: it any other way. Don't trade Lindor, don't do that.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: And there's so many Mets fans I see that, you know,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I wanna wanna just totally switch up, and they dislike
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: this guy. I think a lot of that's politically motivated.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people that know how him
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and his wife feel and they are on the opposite
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: uh and on the opposite side of the.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Aisle they are. You know.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: That that's really affecting how they evaluate him as a
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: player from there. From from a fans point of view,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's a big, big part of this.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: And I just feel like overall, man, yo, man, come on, man, Well,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: you know he's a couple of years ago when we
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: went to the NLCS, he was the guy, I mean,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: super clutched the home run on the last day of
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the season against Atlanta, the three run home run against
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: the fucking Phillies. That was maybe one of the most
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: electrifying Mets postseason moments in my lifetime. Don't don't get
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: rid of franciscoling door. That's not the move. That's not
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the move. And then if you do that, then you're
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: just really just doing a fucking full rebuild. It's not like, hey,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: can we make some moves on the margins, get a
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: new manager. Hopefully we come in next year and you know,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: shit kind of well, you know, ball bounces our way
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and we you know, we can be a.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Team that contends.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: No if you if you're getting really one door, I
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: feel like you're just going ahead and saying, like, fuck it, man,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be bad for a few years, and you
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: know we're gonna start from scratching with some new guys.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: And you know, especially when you have a guy like
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Juan Soto, you can't you can't just punt on seasons
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: and on future seasons like that. You gotta maximize this
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: time with Soto in his prime, and you got to
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: try to be your best and you got to try
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: to contend and go for a championship. But you know,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see what else we got, yo, don't stop.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Every few years we see somebody that wants to be
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: in one of these national parks and get too close
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: to the wildlife, specifically the bison.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: These are the biggest fucking things you'll ever.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: See, and motherfuckers want to be in a place where
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you're out of your car. Quite often they're trying to
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: get some sort of camera. They're trying to get some
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: sort of picture, and you're getting too close.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: To the bison. Yo, don't stop fucking the bison.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I know you think he's over there, and he's not.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: That he can get real close to you, real quick. Thankfully,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: this old dude, the dude who got tossed, I mean
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: just ragged alled. Thankfully, he's uh, I hear he's on
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: the end, like you know, they think he's gonna be okay.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: I'm very surprised by that. It's very very scary. Man.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: It looked like, you know, he was with his granddaughter,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and his granddaughter he was trying. He seemed like he
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: was trying to protect her. She was smart, she was
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: like all up in the trees and shit, he kept
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: coming out. I'm sure in that moment, you're panicking. You're
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: trying to, you know, protect her, You're trying to do
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: whatever you can. But I don't even understand why what
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: are you doing walking around right now outside of your
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: car when this thing is right there, If that thing
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: is within a football field of view, you need to
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: be in a car at the very least all this
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: like safari type shit, like I, you know I at
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: one point I was researching a trip to Africa, and
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: one of the things I was looking at was like,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: you know, over in like Tanzania doing some sort of
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: safari type shit. I gotta be in a jit vehicle, Okay,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: not know, like ship where the top is opened up
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: or anything like that, and you gotta stay in your vehicle.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: If you've ever seen baum have you ever seen the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: video of the people I believe there's somewhere in Asia
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: and they're in the car and the woman like gets
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: into a fight with her husband, so she gets out,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: tiger goes, snatches her, pulls away, her mom gets out,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: runs and goes to help her, and the way and
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: this now now we're off it's off camera, but the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: story goes that, hey, mom didn't make it.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: If you've actually never seen or heard of that video,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: but that sounds insane in terms of the after safaris,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: though you're actually pretty safe in those vehicles. I have
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: multiple friends. My sister and her husband did the their
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: honeymoon doing that, and they loved it. So even though
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like it, because you're kind of just
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: like there's no doors or anything like that. You're mostly protected.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, you know here independent nick we uh we uh.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna fucking give a disclaimer.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, this ship you'll never see nobody
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: like that looked like me getting tossed by no bison.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying personally with that, either I think uh,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: I think my one swamps or in twenty twenty two
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: was enough.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I don't know, man, I
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: would like to see some shit and some African type shit,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: but I can I can see it from pretty far
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: away and be okay with that. I don't need to
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: get that close. That's not what I'm saying. Like, you know,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: what's the give me the package where you know, the
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: binoculars package. Give me the binoculars package. I'm good with that.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: I don't need to get up close with that type
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: of shit. These motherfucker's going to get all close to
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: like a monkey's cage or some shit, and that thing
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: is snatching you up and fucking ripping off your shirt
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: to get away from man, fuck that bullshit.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: I went to out of Africa down.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: And I should say up in uh uh, northern Arizona,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: not our north of where I am at least, and
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I've been there a couple of times with my family,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and you know, everything is behind a cage and you
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: know you're seeing it, but you know it can't we're
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: not and that whole like Tiger Show and everything.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Even when that was happening, I.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Was thinking to myself, I was like, Yo, that motherfucker
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: just ran and try to just jump over this this
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: uh this this this this like little fence that it
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: has here and just ran into the crowd and started
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: mauling people.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: What the fuck? Like I was like pre practice.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I was like thinking about, like what's my exit, Like
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I you know, I got snatched up the babies we
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: were and we you know, we hit over here to
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the right, we do that. But and yo, because man,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: that shit is scary to me. But I mean out
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: of Africa's dope. Out of africas dope because it's like
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: a it's like a it's like a sanctuary, you know
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Like these aren't like these are animals
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: that you know, it needed to be taken out of
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: the wild and put into captivity or some shit like that,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: and so they're not, it's not it's not your typical
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: zoo set up. I've unfortunately went down a couple of
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: zoo rabbit holes that I think ruined them for me.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I definitely can't do like the Sea World type shit.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: That's I just can't. I feel too bad for those things.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Those things are too fucking smart to be living in
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: a tank. And and uh but the out of Africa,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: sheit is nice, man. I have a good time my
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: family up there. I been up there a couple of times.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I gotta go now again now that my youngest is
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit older so she could remember it.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: But it's dope.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: That sounds sick. I was gonna say though, in terms
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: of just the Bison, it's gonna be minimum football field
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: to have for me to be away from those things.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yo, get the fucking your fucking car, Yo,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: what are you doing?
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Seriously? You know, I'm stay as far away from that
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: as I humanly possibly can.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so U.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I yesterday was talking about Pops and we were we're
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: talking about going to see the Odyssey this weekend, and
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: he was like, A, you know, I'll just go see
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: it here, you know, the theaters. That's closest to us.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, it's not Imax. He's like, nah, I
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: don't really care. I'm like that we got to see
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: the Imax. It was shot with an Imax camera.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I'll drive We're going to Imax on Sunday, So I
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: make the I make the reserme, I get the tickets
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: and make the reservations.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Uh. And I realized right afterwards.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: That I'm mad him for twelve team and Sunday at
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: at noon West Coast time is the World Cup. So
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I end up having a like switch him out, call
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: change him to a later time. But you know, I
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: can't remember, you know, I was thinking about it, and
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm you know, when was the last time
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: that I was disinvested in being like.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I really want to make sure I watched this
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: World Cup final.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: But I've watched so much of this World Cup and
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: so I'm interested to see how it plays out. And
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: also it's just a whole messy story, you know, the
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: possibility for him to win too in a row, and
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: you know, go out like that on top and really
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: cement himself as the greatest soccer player of all time,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: which you know many people think he is already. I
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: saw our interesting videos talking about how you know, Maridona
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: is still better than him.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: It's just far as like.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Just when it comes to ability, that just when it
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: comes to the things that he was that he saw
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: him do. Like he was talking about how he was
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: kicking the ball as high as he could up into
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: the air, and then you know he and then every
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: single time kicking out he did it thirteen times, he said,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: so he said. The next day and practice, they all
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: practiced it, and nobody could do it more than three times.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: That's some crazy shit. I mean, that dude was just
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: a fucking wizard, and I mean he was living hard.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I mean I'm talking about during games, my man had
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: somebody coming and serving him a like after score and
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: a goal, like.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Right there on the fucking field.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: So you can only imagine how he was conducting himself
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: when he was you know, in his his in his.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Leisure time, his recreational time.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: So can you imagine what he would have been if
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: he was like, you know, a modern athlete and fucking
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: just you know, all super dialed in nutritionist or.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe that was part of his thing.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: He's one of like they say, they say, you know,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Keith Nandes talks about how you know nobody nobody had no,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: nobody even knew what an oblique was back when he
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: was playing baseball.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: You can't, you know, you can't.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: You can't pull fat ironically enough around that kind of
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: similar timeframe. That's some like Dwyke Good and Darryl Strawberry
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: type shit.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Well, Keith Hernandez as well, you know key that. I
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: still that's why Keith isn't in the Hall of Fame.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Thirteen gold gloves right then and there Hall of Fame.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Thirteen goal gloves won an MVP captain on a World
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Series team. There's no The only reason he's not because
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: he had to do that whole ship. We had to
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: go before Congress and talk about the UH and then
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: the nose beers. Yeah, man, Keith and Nanda should definitely
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame. I know that with
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: baseball they got all these weird rules where they let
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: guys in later. Get let's get that done. He needs
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: to be in the Hall of Fame. But yeah, man,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: it was a different time for athletes back then. But
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: this World Cup Final is going to be interesting, obviously, Well, Argentina,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: did that come back. You know that was that was
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: some you know, Knicks Game four type shit. And that
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: fucking that pass by Messi off his right foot, which
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: everybody says his left foot is his uh, his better
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: one is more precise foot, but he's able to cross
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: that ball to the exact perfect place. Header ball game.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: England thys sick, especially with that rivalry being what it
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: is and you know, them losing that way all the
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: similarities to the last time.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, the England went full Atlanta Falcons in the
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons Stadium, which is wild. But I want to
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: go to this one stat which is really insane to me.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: So between the sixty six oh five and eighty four
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: forty two mark of that second half, England completed two
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: accurate passes. Yeah, that entire time, and they were both
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: the passes were goalie to center back, which is basically
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: like completing an inbound pass in basketball with no press.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Right damn man. Yeah, there it is right there.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: There, It is right there, And I mean what it's
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: not like Argentina all of a sudden just like turned
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: it up and just became well did they though, because
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: we've now seen Argentina do this quite a bit, you know,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I mean the they, it's they. The parallels with the
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Knicks continue because we've seen them come back, you know,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: late in games and be able to just all of
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: a sudden look dominant when they look dormant just moments
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: and and the entire game before.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: So is that is that? Is that them? Is that part?
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Is that there? Is that their game plan?
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, is this something where they're kind of
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: saying like, hey, you know, we laid black blah blah blah,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: and then we really turn it on at the end.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: These guys are a little bit tired and that's when
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: we're gonna give our best or do they just have
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: an indomitable will and you know, especially that singular player
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: who breathes life and confidence into them late. You know,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: once again, I allow the New York Knicks. I don't know,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: but it's gonna be interesting.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Spain.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Spain is so good that it's boring to a certain extent.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Their defense they do the four four three, and you know,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: their defense, they just it seems like you never can
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: ever it's in.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: It's impenetrable.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: So I'm using a lot of like Mike Tyson type
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: words today. It's just indomitable, impenetrable.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: But uh yeah, no they uh.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: That that little Just the way they pass and the
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: way they move the ball around, it's excellent. It's beautiful
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: to watch. And then their ability to just uh you know,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: defensively never really give you an inch. It'll be interesting,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: you know, if they're able to stifle Messy the same
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: way that they did in Bope and then you know,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: if they and if they're not able to, then you
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: got to say, this is the brilliance of Messy that
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: he's even still at a level higher than in BOPE.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: And if they are able.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: To, then you say, Okay, this is one of the
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: most dominant runs that we've seen an international team go
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: on what we've seen out of Spain here recently. It'll
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: be fun to watch for sure, for sure, definitely looking
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: forward to that. You sent me something about uh MLB
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Olympic participation and some of the things that the league
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: is talking about.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: Give me some more on that.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: I did so. Obviously, we have the Summer Olympics coming
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: up here in the States in twenty twenty eight in
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles. The league wants players to participate. The owners
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: are very open to it. Surprisingly, they actually it's nice
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: to see them actually being interested in their own sport again,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: at least you know, most of them. And the league
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: is now proposing some pretty significant punishments for players who
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: voluntarily decide to not participate for their countries, and the
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: biggest one the league proposed to the union saying that
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: they want a greater than three week suspension that would
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: bleed into the second half of the year if players
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: are chosen to participate and they choose not to live healthy.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Obviously there's exemption for guys who are on the IL,
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: but if you're healthy and you choose not to participate,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: they want players on the restricted list and suspend it.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Is this is there's any way the players union agrees
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: to this zero chance, zero chance, right Listen.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: I think guys will want to play.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: We've seen with the World Baseball Classic that guys want
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: to play. You know, guys that are selected, they typically
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: want to play. And I mean, really, what are we
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: looking at We're looking at you know, we already we
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: we basically know what teams we've seen. We've seen the
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: you know, we've seen this tournament already, just with a
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: different name, so we know Japan is gonna be really good.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: The US is gonna be good Italy, you know they
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: they obviously looked really good in this last one. D
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: are you know it was gonna be good? You know,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: and then you know some of those other Latin American teams. Yeah,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: there's no way they're gonna agree with that. I think
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: that's crazy. That's a that's a that's a that's a
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: good Uh, it's a good try. But no, and hey,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: like you said, it's good that the the ownership is
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: looking at this from a standpoint of let's grow the game.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: And you know, if we're gonna have the if we're
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: gonna have it, we're gonna.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Have baseball in the Olympics, and we're gonna have the
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Olympics on our soil, then let's you know, we're gonna
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: have to make sure that we feel the good team
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: because this is not a situation where you can like
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: do some shit like basketball used to do or hockey
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: used to do, where it's like only the amateurs not
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: because I mean, then.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: It fu gave.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: If the US decides to do that, then d R
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: is gonna smoke you. Japan's gonna smoke you. So it'll
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: be interesting for sure.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: I think it'll actually be easier to get players to
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: participate in the Olympics is one. It's honestly the Olympics
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: versus WBC. But players will be fully ramped up and
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: in season mode versus the one issue I've always have
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: WBC is it's always preseason. Yeah, and guys, aren't you know.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: It forces guys to change their regiments, their training and everything,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: and you can only do so much with it. Guys
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: can only throw a certain amount of pitches. They can't
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: be fully ramped up. So I think I don't even
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: think this is gonna be much of a thing in
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: terms of being able to be selected for the Olympics.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: And yeah, up until this year, the NHL went like
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: to have like a twelve year hiatus from letting their
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: players participate in the Olympics. And I thought it was terrible.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: It was it made Olympic hockey unwatchable. One of those Olympics,
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: I was actually eating Canada. It was in Vancouver during
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: the twenty eighteen Winter Olympics, and I was actually in
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: a bar for Canada's first game, and it was just
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: like any other night. It was lame. I met you
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: if I was there this time around, it would have
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: been insane.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen, all the sports have gotten to the
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: point where it's like, you know, when it comes to
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: the Olympics, you gotta go ahead and send you know,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: you got you gotta I okay, going back, I mean,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: if we look at it Miracle on ice, is that
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: as cool if it's all professionals. No, That's part of
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: the thing that made it cool was that it was
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: you know, it was amateur guys. But then if you
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: even look at like, you know, I look at like
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: the roster of like you know, the some of these
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Olympic teams that were going before the Dream Team and
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: you know, you got Patrick Ewing and Michael Jordan on
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: the same team, and you know, Bobby Knight's the coach,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: and you know that shit was cool too to a
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: certain extent. But the rest of the world has caught
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: up too much for us to be able to send
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: our amateurs when it comes to these sports. And I
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: mean it's not like that in any other sports. So yeah,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: of course we should send our pros. And yeah, it
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: definitely makes the overall play better. Maybe the quality of
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: play will be better in the Olympics rather than the
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic because it's not preseason, like you said,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: guys will be ramped up, so it'll be interesting for sure.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: I just think I'm looking forward to the Olympics being
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: on American soil and uh, you know, the big the
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: whole thing with baseball being a sport now. Yet, we
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: gotta we got to make sure that we show out.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, obviously we haven't. We've never won
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic, right.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: No, we would have want twenty seventeen that Yeah, that
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: was the year that Adam Jones had that crazy robbing
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: home run, robbing catch on.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that David Right too?
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: David Right? Was David Right on that team?
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Pretty sure he was sure it was?
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm for sure he had a big home run. Yeah,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: But uh, you know, honestly, the World Baseball As I
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: feel like this past year, I was probably into it
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit more than I had been before the.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: Last couple of years, the last couple of iterations of
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: it have been fantastic. Yeah, yeah, I think you know
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three when you had a show, hey striking
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: out Mike Trout to end.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, to end it. Yep, yep.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: And just the crowds, especially in the you know, the
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Latin American countries like there, it's so electric, like not
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: watch it, just be super into it.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: I also wish it was a summer thing though, And
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: the reason I say that is because every time you
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: do it in March again the players before it wraps up,
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: you also have March madness going on. You also have
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: the push the NBA playoffs. You have pushed then playoffs, ye,
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: and the talk about the NFL Draft, so kind of
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: in a way, it gets very.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Every few years, stop in the middle of the season
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: and do that, like do it, let's do it, let's
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: do it where it's like that. And they they now
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: that the Olympics is doing baseball, they should stagger it.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: So it's every two years and so we get this
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: one then every you know, and then you know, and
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: then they just do it in the middle summer.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: I do think it's a better idea. I do.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Yo.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Did you see Tim Donahey, he's back. He was on
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: flat TV and he was talking about you know how
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: uh so Vlad makes it very clear, He's like, Yo,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: did you know it was you know what exactly did
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: they tell you? And I thought that donnae He like
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: said basically that they showed tape and said like, hey,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: this is a foul, and you know this guy is
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: talking about he's a Kobe stopper, and we're showing tape
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: of other times that he's fouled him.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: You guys should call these fouls.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I don't really think that that's necessarily just going out
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: there and saying, oh, like they they wanted things to be.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Like the headline says like, you know, like the NBA
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: cheated for Kobe basically.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: And I don't think that's the case.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: If you don't think that the best players in the
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: world get slightly better whistles than you know, Rajah Bell,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: that's probably the case. And the NBA is definitely looking
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: sitting down with their officials and showing tape and saying, hey,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: you know this was good, this was bad, you know whatever.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: They look at take during halftimes of games. So I honestly,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: when I saw this, I was like, I think, Donna,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: he needed a check. That's what it looks like to me,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: because it really was a nothing burger compared to what
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: I thought I was going to get when I saw
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: the headline.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: No, I definitely agree with that. I saw the tweet
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: that you said, and I watched the video as well.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: But you know, to be fair, Jalen Brunson Steph Curry
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: basically have the same whistle as Raja out.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Word word and you know that shalit better change for
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: this year. Brunton, come on, you know Brunton and Cat
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: I need I need a championship whistle. But yeah, the
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Nicks are the fucking champs and it just keeps getting better,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: keeps getting keeps getting better. I can't I really, I
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: just I can't wait till like the Ben Stiller ship
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: that's coming out. Ben Stiller has said, you know, he's
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: coming out with the doc where basically it's a lot
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: of him taking video from his phone and it is, uh,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be on HBO and everything they put out
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: his quality.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: So I can't wait for that. Bro.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: You gotta start watching House to Dragon. You gotta start
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: watching House to Dragon so we could talk House to Dragon. Man.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: Hey, I don't understand being such a.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Huge guy, being such a huge Game of Thrones guy,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: and like they're like, oh, we make an iteration and
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: we tell the story from two hundred years beforehand, and
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: you're just like, I'm not interested.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: What is that?
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: I'm just barely over home right now. It's kind of
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: the problem.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: So fuck that bullshit. You can watch a goddamn show.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Come on, man, you excited about the new challenge it's
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: coming out. You see you see the lineup.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: I did see the lineup. It's it's a little weaker.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: It's a little disappointing. You know, there's still some greats
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: in there. So but you know, obviously I'm all in.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: I always am. You know, I'm gonna watch. Yeah, I'm
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: sure we'll get some challenge content in there too. We
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: got off the show.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, it's it's in the works. I've already
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: talked to me about it. We're gonna start having guests.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: I got a list of people that I know, some
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: nixt Twitter people, you know, just some people that I
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: want that I find interesting, that I want to talk
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: to and learn a little bit more aback, learn more
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: about rather and Scott's definitely on the list.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: We're gonna We're gonna get him one here.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Him and I can go back and forth about uh
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Scott gets pissed off of me, and it's like a
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: recur in a group chat that I'm in with him,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: It's a recurring thing, and everybody else gets mad in
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: the group chat when he when when we start going
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: back and forth about it, because it's we just have
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: the same argument over and over again. But I I
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: always contend that he's he's like not a real fan.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: Scott goes to more sporting events than anybody when he
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: goes to all these different places because you know, he
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: you know, does the Challenge Mania shit. He's always thrown
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: out a first pitch somewhere in a box doing this.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: He's at the All Star Game here recently with his son.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: He loves taking pictures and getting some sort of autograph
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: from famous people more than any person I've ever known
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: in my entire life. Every time somebody dies, Scott posts
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: a picture of him in that person, every single time.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: And he will go to a fucking border's books and wait,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: you know, six hours to meet you know, frigging I
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: don't know, Gwyneth Paltrow or some shit, like, he fucking
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: loves this shit.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: He fucking loves it.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: I there's if Kobe Bryant, if somebody told me that
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: Kobe was somewhere right now, and that I could go
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: wait a couple hours to get his autograph and take
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: a picture with him. I wouldn't do it. Like that's
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: how I feel about it. I don't care like the
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: whole like, like you know, it's just it's just not me.
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: It's just not me.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: Like the challenge and the Challenge meeting and all that shit,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: because I get to go, and first of all, I'm
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: going to support my boy. Second of all, like the
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: access that I get, you know, because I'm with him.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: I'm hanging out in the agree room with the people
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff and everything. I love all that,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: the idea of going and just like sitting there in
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: the crowd and like clapping it up when they come
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: out and be like, hey, it's not me. God bless
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: him for it. Hey, he's fucking crushing it. It's been
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: It's I've clearly been something that has uh, you know,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: been extremely successful for him. He's done a great job
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: building that brand, and you know, I couldn't be more
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: happy for him and the way it's all working out.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: But he is somebody he goes to all these different
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: sporting events like he loves Tyre's Halliburton, the Pacers treated
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: him really well. But then he also, like, you know,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: he lives in New York City. He liked He says
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: he likes the Knicks. I know him back in the day,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: when I knew him, he never said shit about the Knicks.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: He loved like fucking Steve Nash back then. But now
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: he's like, he says like the Knicks, and then like
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: he'll get in the chat and he'll start throwing out
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: like the word we when talking about the Knicks, and
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like, bruh b and I can He's like, I
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: go to more to sporting events than anybody.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: I fucking love sports.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: I understand that you love the event, you love all
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: that shit, but you're not a true like sports fan.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: You don't have like a team that you fucking live
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: and die with and it means everything to you. He
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: claims to be like a Jackson Jacksonville Jaguars. He just
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: like he picked him a long time ago, he like
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Mark Brunell or some ship like that. And he's like,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: I don't have a team. I'm picking a team and
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: he picked them, and come on, man, he listened, and
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: it's so My old thing is is like, it's it's okay.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: It's okay to be like a guy who like like
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: just you know, likes to go to the events and
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: all this other stuff, but not truly understand what like
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: actual fandom is. Like I fucking live and die with
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: this shit. It means so much to me, and you know,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: it's people don't understand, Like when the Knicks fucking lose
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: and have a bad game on some dumb shit in
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: fucking the regular season. There's times where it's like, Yo,
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: I fucking the first thing I wake up when I
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: wake up in the middle of the night to take
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: a piss, I'm fucking I'm forty. There's you know, the
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: life comes at you quick. But when I wake up
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the night to take a piss,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Yo, the first thing I think about when
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: I opened my eyes is like, God, damn it, that
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: fucking stupid foul by fucking Josh.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: You know some shit like that.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm telling you, man, he's don't. I don't
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: think he's like That's what I'm saying.
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: He don't. Ever, when he wakes up in the middle
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: of the night.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: He's not fucking cursing his team for the dumb shit
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: that they did. It's not the first thought to his brain.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: That's what fucking real fandom.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: Is, oh for sure. Like I mean, look, I love
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: going to all the events, but you know where my
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: fandom's all line, sure, the Bay especially, Yeah, especially like
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: when it comes to you know, Sharks for hockey. That's
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: kind of you know, my the Diamonds. You know, like
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: when we beat the Eagle of the playoffs slash year
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: we'll up, you know that next morning I was like, damn,
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: you really just knocked Filly out with no defense.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a different level for sure. Something we didn't
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: talk about on Tuesday. You know, McGregor's done, you know,
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: go ahead, and you know you got all your bread.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: You know, was he hurt beforehand? Who knows? I don't know.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: It's getting real fishy the whole, you know, especially when
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: it comes to the betting and everything. Like if this
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: guy was hurt beforehand, and you know, you just don't
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: want to lose out on the check. From the USC's
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: point of view, from his point of view, it's not good.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: It's not good.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: And you know what it sounds like it was. Dana
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: White was basically like, no, you have to go fight
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: sort of thing. It wasn't even like it was basically
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: like suck it up, get your apps out there. It's like,
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: no matter what's going on with you, it's kind of
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: the TV is. I don't know what other people have said,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: but that was kind of the vibe I was getting,
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: was that McGregor was hurt earlier that week, he didn't
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: know if he could go, and Dan and Wise like, no.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: You're going, yo, man, And that's that's that's the vibe
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: I get too. And if that's the case, and if that,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: you know, really ever becomes exposed in a like, you know,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: in a plausible and or factual way, that's a fucking
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: huge problem for them. And I feel like the UFC,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: they were on this crazy meteoric rise and it's fallen off.
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: You know, you don't have the.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Huge stars, and clearly they're thirsty for that, which is
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: why they put so much into and you know, allegedly
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: continued on with even though the fighter was not physically
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: you know, ready or able. The fact that they're doing
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: that to me shows a little bit of desperation. And
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: you know, Dana White wants to be this this maverick
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: and you know, I don't disliked in a way. You know,
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: obviously I disagree with them on some things very very much,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: so especially you know, the people he.
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: Decides to support and call friends.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I don't know,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like the UFC, you know, might of overextended
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: itself a little bit, got out in front of its skis.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: I wonder what the numbers are looking like for Paramount
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: since they did that deal, and whether or not those
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Paramount executives are looking at them and being like, yo, man,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: we need this kind of thing to pop off, because
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: recently they have not been.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it has been great for them so far. Looking here,
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: just at the McGregor fight, they reached a peak of
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: fifteen point nine million total viewers across the US and
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: Latin America, or a total of fifteen point nine million
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: viewers across the US and Latin America, and then also
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: peaked at eight point three million concurrent streams the White
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: House Fight last month, seventeen million total viewers.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that does that sounds low? That sounds low for
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: what UFC is, you know, especially for you know, big
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: events like that. So I mean, there's a whole lot
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: more options. Now, Uh, you know, there's so many different ways.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: I don't you know who knows how the paramount deal
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: is affecting because because back in the day, the top
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: fighters would get like points on the pay per view buys.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: So I don't even know how that works now with
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: it being on paramount and with it being no pay
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: per view. I know, Connor, they said I thought made
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: like thirty did he make I think he made thirty
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: something million? Which, hey man, God bless him. Max Holloway
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: sucks for him because obviously he wants to fight. He
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to fight to end that way. Max Holloway
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: is one of my favorite fighters of all time. I
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: love fucking Max Holloway. I've always loved him back since
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: he was young. I've loved watching his entire story. He's
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: extremely glib. You ever see him on a podcast, He's fantastic,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: like he was on the Flagrant podcast, and he's fucking great.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: And you know, he just his the way that he
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: fights and just what he stands for. Everything about him.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I love it, and that justin Gatgee fight for for
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: the BMF, for the bad motherfucker belt, where you know
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: he's winning the fight and at the end of it,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: says come on, let's go right now to the middle
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: of the ring, and you know, ends up chaoing him.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: It is I don't know if I've ever been watching
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: combat sports and been more hype than that. Me and
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: my dad both were standing up like, oh, I mean,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: it was just fucking what a fucking fight and what
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: a way to end it. And I mean, especially if
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: you're up there and you're fighting for the BMF belt, that's.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: How you fucking do it. That shit was dope.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: And so now you know, just Max get a title shot.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: You know, lightweight division is interesting, and you know he's
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: obviously I think Max being a little bit bigger, I
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: was interested in seeing if you know, because he's a striker,
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: but he's a guy who kind of overwhelms you with
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: volume and then late in the fight now he can,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: you know, knock you out. I was wondering if, anxious
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: to see if him being a little bit bigger was
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: going to give him a little bit more power.
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: So yeah, man, ufc it it's just tough, man.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: You've got a lot of a lot of those A
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: lot of the stars in the champs are foreign. You
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: have more guys that are you know, kind of going
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: with that like Kabe model as opposed to the Connor model,
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: which is not as exciting and not as sexy.
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: It's just not.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see, you know, what
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: happens with the UFC over the next few years, because
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: it does feel like it's fallen off a little bit. Well,
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: anything else, man, anything I'm missing, anything, I'm forgetting Kawhi Kahi, Yeah,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: exactly where.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: I was gonna go next. We have not talked about
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: the NBA opening up a second invation investigation on Kawhi
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: letter bruh Uh.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: This is a fucking problem for Kawhi okay because the
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: fact that this this this trade has been paused and uh,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: you know there's been a buyer beware warning issued by
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: the NBA too to run to I think, I you know,
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: to me right now, if I'm looking at this, just
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: reading the tea leaves, I think he's gonna end up
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: getting suspended himself.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: I could see it too. I didn't even think it
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: was humanly possible just within the CBA or anything like that.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: But the more you read, the more, you know, we
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: even hear about it from you know, people that are
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: you know also pretty plugged in and know things like
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: it could really.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: Happen, dude, that would be interesting, man. And some people
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: say that's one of the things bron is waiting for.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: It's like he wants to see where Kawha is gonna go.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: And then you know that affects, you know, his ability
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: to win depending on if he's in the East or not.
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: And we know one of my favorite clips of all time.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Is the Lebron at the free throw line when he's
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: in Miami and Kawhi is getting checked back into the
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: game and you see him he slipped right there. I'm
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: sure he didn't want everybody to see that reaction, but
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: he looks and he's like, damn, Like this dude gives
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: him problem. He gives Kawhi when he's guardeninger, he gives
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: everybody problems. The fucking claw. That dude's hands are insane.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: It don't even look like a real thing.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: Healthy. Kawhi is one of the most dominant players of
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: this era, especially defensively. Is crazy. I remember even last
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: year watching the Clippers play the Warriors and basically what
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: was the facto playing games last game in the regular season,
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: loser or loser went to the play and winner got
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: a one of the sixth the sixth seed, and he
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: just single heaviedly dominated that game. And it was a
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: game where they basically wasted an incredible step out, but
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: Kawhi took it out both at both ends of the court.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, come on, yeah, you know. And he
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: was as healthy as he is he's ever been last year.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: So I hope he does stay healthy.
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: I really do.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind him not coming to Toronto and staying
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: out west. That would be okay with me. But uh,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: you know, well we'll see. You know, one thing I
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: got to mention, I just saw, you know, Ogi's acceptance
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: speech at the SP's for Best Shot.
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: That dude is just the he's the fucking he's so
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: he's so Ogi. There's all.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: There's it's kind of hard to explain it any other way,
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: but he's just so such a fucking odd dude. And
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: like when he he's like, you know, the goes in
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: like like he's about to do the split so we
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: can get down to the microphone because he couldn't get
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: it up and Brunton just I mean that's probably the
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: most like And I watched their podcast too with him
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: and Josh Hart. I don't think I've ever seen Brunson
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: just like crack up that genuinely and that like hard ever,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: it was fucking hilarious. Fucking Og is great. So yeah, Kawhi,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: if he does come to Toronto, we're gonna have to see.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: You know, this is Og taking the guy that he's
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: always looked up to and him having to match up
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: with him, you know, four times in the regular season
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: and then likely again in the playoffs. We'll be able
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: to see if you know, the teacher has uh surpassed
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: the master. I think that'll be an interesting thing to see.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: And yeah, man Nixon five h. I don't know anything else.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: Bomb, I'm out of stuff for today. I mean, obviously
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: baseball is resuming. We have the trade deadline coming up.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: We'll definitely have some good stuff coming up once once
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: we have a little closer to August third, I believe
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: it is the is the deadline day now with some
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: big names you could possibly be able to move, including
• 1:00:59
