  Speaker 4: A massive problem with Iowa right now, and it's Iowa Sam. Yeah, yeah, producer,
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Iowa Sam. We're watching Brazil Japan. It's one one in
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: like the ninety fifth minute. We're all watching the game
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: before the show starts, and then all of a sudden,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: in our ears, we just hear Sam go Brazil, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: we're all looking like nothing has happened on our TV.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: So he's very clearly ahead of all of us.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Then thirty seconds go by Brazil scores the most likely
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: the winning goal.
• 1:45

• 1:45
  Speaker 4: I think I think Iowa Sam just broke the number
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: one rule in sports of don't spoil something when you
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: know you're ahead.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's living that Twitter lifestyle. I gotta be the
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: first to announce I didn't know I was ahead.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're clearly in the future. Bro.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: What you got watching on tub?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And why aren't you welcoming in all the great folks
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: from Iowa Iowa Sam, h welcome in? Is this some
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: sort of celebratory song for them?
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, oh, this is a solid bresident. You're right,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: it is better off without the welcoming. By the way,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: k x n O might be the coolest call letters ever.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: You got a k in there, and the next in there.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Come on, now, you throw a que in there.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And then it ends with no, which is one of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the building blocks of sports radio. No Letters eight seven
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: seven ninety nine. On Fox, Taylor has an NBA hot take.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I want to get right to it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: When Taylor has an NBA hot take, I think that's
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: where we need to start. Is he has some thoughts
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: on what's going on with the Golden State Warriors and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the Miami Heat and Kawhi Leonard.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: We'll get to that in just a second.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Taylor, go ahead, give us your hot NBA take here Before.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: You go, Taylor, Stu, can you confirm with me on this.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I think the reason you're star it is because your
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: curiosity is killing you and you want to know what
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: his hot take is. We have other subjects we can
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: one hundred percent start with yes, but your curiosity it
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: takes the cake here now.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: So if someone dangles a hot take in front of
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: me right before this radio program starts, everything else I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: was thinking, goes to the side and I start with
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the hot take. That's all you have to do. You
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: just have to dangle a hot take in front of me,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: any one of you. It could be I with Sam.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It could be Dan Byer, it could be anyone. In
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: this case, it was Tailor because it's always Tailor, because
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: he always has hot tails.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes he does. Go ahead, Taylor Stu.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Do you remember what you said about the Anthony Davis
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Luka Doncrichch trade when it happened at the time.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I said it's a nothing trade. Yeah.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: So I'm looking at all the headlines from the NBA
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: this weekend. The Clippers and Raptors engaging in trade talks
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: around Kawhi Leonard Okay, kind of a nothing burger. Warriors
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: are looking to trade Jimmy Butler's contract for Anthony Davis
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: and sign Lebron James. I'm not really sure that puts
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: the Warriors over the top. Kind of a nothing burger.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: You're looking at more. You keep going down the headlines,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: it's trade Myles Bridges to the Suns, Isaiah Hartenstein back
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: to Oklahoma City, Jose Alvarado back to the Knicks. But
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: the headline that caught my eye and the move that
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I think isn't a nothing burger and a move next
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: postseason will say, hey, remember when this team made this
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: move to maybe get them over the hump. Right, the
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Pistons getting Isaiah Joe.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: It's a big one from the thunder.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, I think I think that was I think you
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: can make the argument that the Pistons getting a forty
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: one point five percent three point shooter since twenty twenty two,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty three to help Cad Cunningham with the spacing
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: for that Detroit team, I think you can make an
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: argument it was the most impactful move. Now I don't
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: have to the The roosters aren't coming home anytime soon,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: so I can kind of just say it and people
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: are gonna forget I said it like a month from now.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: But if they off chance to Isaiah Joe leads the
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Pistons to to the Eastern Conference Finals or maybe even
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: further to the NBA Finals next year, I could kind
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: of come back to this moment.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: That's what you do. You put it out there.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: There are no dividends, you're not getting any sort of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: payback right now. But if it doesn't come true, you're right,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: we'll forget about it. If it does come true, we
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: will throw it in everyone's faces.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: This is how I meant so much of not of
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: an economics guy. I don't know what the heck of
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: dividends is Isaiah Joe? Did you know who they had
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: to not only player, but one player that they got
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: rid of to get Isaiah Joe in Detroit? Who Isaiah Stewart? Wow,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: a couple of Isaiah has got hit out. Not anymore.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: They're still on different teams, but one for the other.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: But just to be clear so we can sum up,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Taylor Vippolist believes that Kawhi potentially going back to the
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Toronto Raptors where he won a championship in twenty nineteen,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: completely disrupting the flow of NBA, you know whatever, the
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: normal flow of things in the NBA. That is a
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: nothing burger. Lebron James and Steph Curry potentially teaming up
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: in Golden State is also a nothing burger.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: But Isaiah Joe two first names to the.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Pistons basing, Yeah, is a huge dent.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, did I get the right Taylor?
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: He's not an average show.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: He is an average Joe. He actually is your average show.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: He's not an average Joe by player efficiency rating. He
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: is a below average show. And I don't think he's
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: going to be the difference maker for the Piston too.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Were just the one seed in the Eastern Conference. But yeah,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: it's a nice take.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I can't wait until he throws that one back in
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: your face.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: All Isaiah Joe needs is one game before it just
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: gets thrown right back in my face. Literally, those seven threes, Isaiah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Listen, Taylor, give them credit because everyone's paying attention to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Lebron and Anthony Davis and maybe they're going the Golden State.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Everyone's paying attention to the big names, and Taylor is
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: paying attention to a little piece, a little part, a
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: little Isaiah Joe.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: You're below average Joe, and he's.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Paying attention to that move because that move could be
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a difference maker in the Eastern Conference.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: And I give Taylor credit for that, you know, full credit,
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: just so I can notice that not only did they
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: trade one Isaiah for another Isaiah, not that that was
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: the trade, but they also got rid of one guy
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: with two first names for another guy with two first names.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Isaiah Stuart out Isaiah Joe in Big Day.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: And I thought of this take when I was drinking
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: a cup of Joe were you.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I'm so proud of you.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Look at him, He's so proud of himself.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: All right, Mark the tape all right, somebody born out
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Ricardo mark the tape. We'll either forget about this or
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: we'll throw it back in Israel's face in ten months.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, probably gonna be the latter.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: But I do have to put my hand up. I
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: do understand why everybody wants to talk about Kawhi Leonard.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: If Kawhi Leonard goes to the Raptors, depending on what
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: they would have to give up for them, which you
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: would assume the price wouldn't be crazy because of the
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: baggage that kind of comes with Kawhi Leonard recently, whether
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: it's the aspiration mess or just his injury concerns, Like
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: does that move make the Raptors like, all of a
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: sudden a title contender?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: No?
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Well, look, all of it starts with if Kawhi can
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: play's just say seventy five percent of the games, right,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and if he is available to play, let's say ninety
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: percent of the games in the playoffs. That's the only
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: way this even makes any sort of sense or even
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: makes any sense to discuss, right, If that's the case,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: just comparing it to the last team that they had
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: when he was there, which was Kyle Lowry, probably in
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: the back end of his prime, right, Pascal Siaka, I'm
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: probably entering his prime. You still had Marcos sol out there,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: you had who Norm Powell was off that bench, They
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: had a pretty good emogi Og was on that team.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: They had a lot of talent around him, depending on
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: who they have to give up, which you know, I
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: think reportedly it's Brandon Ingram right at the headlining that trade.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: So you're still talking about what an RJ Barrett a
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Scottie Barne. You're still talking about, you know, their little
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: guards that they have over there, which are pretty good.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: You're still talking about Jacob Pearl. I don't know if
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: that is a better team than the team that would
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: he won a championship with. I also don't know what
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: the East looks like in comparison, because, let's just say,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: hypothetically Kawhi does come back to the Raptors. This East
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: is getting pretty thick pretty quick, okay, because there's a
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: lot of teams one through weight, they're gonna feel like
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: they are good enough to be a playoff team.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: The last time Kawhi played seventy plus games in the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: regular season was twenty sixteen.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought you were gonna say never, right, Yeah,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: it was a long time.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: It happened a long time ago. Yes, And the last
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: time he was a Raptor he played sixty games in
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the regular season, but they won the NBA Championship.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: It makes you wonder, right, like Kawhi Leonard when it's
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: all said and done. Yeah, La my hometown. Super attractive.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Hey can they find different ways to pay me where
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I can get even more money?
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Super attractive. I like that opportunity, is it? Do I
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: get a little bit of anonymity because I'm not playing
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: on the Lakers? And yeah, that helps? But don't you
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: think he would have been way better off just almost
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: out of sight, out of mind with the Raptors, like
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: whatever he can give them over the last what was
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: that nineteen over the last seven years. Okay, maybe he
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: gets us there again, maybe we even win another one.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: But if we don't win a thing doesn't matter. You're
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: celebrated for life here. I think he would have traded
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: that off than this experience in La because now it
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: just stains the rest of his that.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Whole portion of his career because going to that city,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that market, that team, with the amount of money they
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: were paying him and Balmer make it such a big deal.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: They were expectations for Kawhi.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Leonard, expectations for Kawhi Leonard. Not only did he not
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: live up, but Paul George is elsewhere. And man, you've
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: got Bill Plashki absolutely murdering, murdering Kawhi Leonard to him,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: well deserved. I would say anything that Plashki writes, I'm
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: on board, I'm behind it. But man, he took down
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Stu.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Bill Plashk called Kawhi Leonard in his article the worst
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: free agent signing in LA sports history.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: His article was the savvy vet coming in and absolutely
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: dotting the corner of the strike zone with like one
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: hundred and one mile proud fa he was Jacob Mazerowski.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, Plashkey bought the fastball. He really still has it,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: huh so on the back.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Yes, When talking about Kawhi Leonards seven years, one of
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: the key lines says he has been injured, apathetic, entitled, disconnected,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: and generally nothing but a pain in the backsize for
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: a re energized franchise that deserve so much better.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like they they didn't just put all their eggs
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: in this basket. They circumvented the salary cap and put
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: that in the basket too, Like they put whatever amount
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: of money that they wanted to throw at him. Sure
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: if that was beyond what they could and threw that
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: in the basket too. And their payoff was what one?
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: How many playoff appearances are we talking to? Their payoff
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: was basically nothing.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain they deserve better the Clippers, if I'm
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: being honest with you, I mean, why do they deserve better?
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: They're the Clippers. They've been terrible for my entire life.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Why would why would I mean, the Celtics deserve better,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the Knicks deserve better, the Lakers deserve better.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: The Clippers. They don't deserve better. They deserve exactly what
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: they got.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: As a metsa Jets fan, you should be more, you know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: you should, you should put that more sympathetic.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: No, No, I don't have to be no, because I
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: have the worst and no one has it worse than me.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry you think I feel bad for Clipper fans
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: because they got Kawhi Leonard get out of here.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's be real. The reason that they quote unquote
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: deserve is because they got a more likable owner who's
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: spending money and have a new arena. But what else
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: makes them deserve it? I don't know.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: So if I could continue with this La Times article
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: from Bill plashk yes, he says Kawhi Leonard was more
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: lame than Anthony Rendon, who signed a two hundred and
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: forty five million dollar deal with the Angels, more disheartening
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: than Jason Schmidt, who signed a three year, forty seven
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: million dollar contract with the Dodgers and appeared in ten games,
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: more frustrating than Alan Robinson, who signed a three year,
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: forty six million dollar deal with the Rams and appeared
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: in ten total games. And he's even a bigger joke
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: than the Lakers bus twins Timothy Mosgov and Louel dang
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: who signed big money deals in twenty sixteen, barely made
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: an impact a single impact play while essentially being kicked
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: off the team within two seasons.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Wow, man, that cracks me up because all I think
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: about with Leuell Dang as Wow, he was supposed to
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: be Lebron's of replacement in Miami and then two years
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: later he was still another franchise's savior alongside Tima fay Mosca.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I only think of Michael Biamante, the heats in arena
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: announcer just luel dang, that's all.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: That's all I think about.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Yes, one of the points Plashki brings up in this
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: article too, like.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Miss Plashky, the Thunder Splashky, the Thunder title.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: The Thunder title, and the Thunder. I don't want to
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: call the Thunder a dynasty because I think we made
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: that mistake this season crowning them a dynasty before. But
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: they're certainly in their title window. That never happens if
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Kawhi Leonard doesn't go to LA, right, because that was
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: kind of the thing that jumped off trying to get
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Paul George from OKC to to LA and the big
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: piece back there. Not only was it all those picks,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: but it was Sga kind of being the cornerstone piece
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: in that trade.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, what do we joke about certain like
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Daron Fox getting a statue outside of MSG. I think
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Kawhi deserves one. And okay, see, like that was a
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: heck of it. That was a heck of a you know,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: series of things that happened that benefited Okay.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: See, Actually what I said when that Luca trade went
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: down was it's a nothing trade in the trade we
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: should all be paying attention to. Was the one the
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Kings made with my Girds and the Spurs acquiring d
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Aaron five Taylor, I told you, I told you years before.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: That's the trade we need to be looking at, because
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: d Aaron Fox won the Knicks an NBA title. I
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: have a bat.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: This is how stick Atz's brain works. Somewhere in there
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: back then was d Aaron Fox bouncing around and I'm like,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know why, but this guy is going to
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: do something huge and it just so happened to me
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: be a terrible for the team that's playing against my
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: team in the final.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: It's kind of like a psychic who the psychic could
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: see the vision, but he can't exactly tell you how
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: the vision ends. He just has like a concept of
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: a vision where he's like, Darren Fox is going to
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: deliver a team of title. But when Darren Fox gets
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: traded to the Spurs, everybody's thinking, oh, he's going to
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: deliver the Spurs a title. Nope, the psychic just couldn't
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: see that it was the Knicks being delivered.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Next level thinking exactly right.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it's like the psychic was hard of hearing
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: and it's kind of like that joke where the guy's
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: at the bar. It's like, you think I really asked
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: for a twelve inch pianist.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Pianist is what he said?
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: You would take Kawhi Leonard on the heat? No, we
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: got Giannis, We're good. But you would take Kawhi Leonard
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: on the heat as an addition?
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Sure, I just don't think that's possible. This guy really
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: likes his money, and there's not a situation where we
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: could I say, wee, that's twice where the heat can
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: afford him.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't say were I.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Know I shouldn't. I'm only saying that for you. I
• 15:49

  Speaker 6: a golden tickets for sure?
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, magic Goose?
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: Is this based on how the team was or how
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: cool or like, how iconic the nickname is?
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: It could be an individual nickname.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Am I right? Group. Group.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Oh it's only group. Yes, ah, yes, okay, No, I'm glad,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: I asked. I am very glad, I asked. I still
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: have a great first all right, Taylor, what was your question?
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: It's a good question, though.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: I just want to get clarification from the judge. Is
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: this based on like how how good the team was,
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: how iconic the nickname is, how cool the nickname is coolness?
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Dan Bayer? Yeah, coolness. Well if he said coolness, he
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: never does that. We normally don't ask the judge what
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: he's ranking these that's huge checks my board.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: But the judge might be thrown off.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: You never know, Yeah, you never know. Maybe it's not coolness.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm so glad I asked that question because
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: my first pick would have been crazy.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: What was your first pick?
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Magic?
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: I wrote that down?
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well apparently no, cently it's got to be a
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: team so or a group. So I'm going with the
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: steel curtain.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't write that down.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Don't love that pick.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: That's my picks.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: It's too obvious, steel curtain? And was it cool? Was
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: it still curtain? Cool? Times? It's obvious for a reason.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, is it cool? Preventing teams from scoring. I
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: It's the nickname.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: We're talking about it.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: We're not talking about what they actually do.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: It's up to Dan, not you.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: So I had this tie. I had this team ninth
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: on my big board in terms of overall nicknames. But
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: since Dan Bayer hinted that he could be based on coolness,
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: they're jumping all the way to one. For me, it's
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: Houston basketball, Fi slamon Jama.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good. I was pretty listen. That team never
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: won a national championship. Guy Lewis was the coach or
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: in my wheelhouse right now, Taylor a game, Elijah on Drexler, Franklin.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I mean that's a good team.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I guess it's cool. Larry Mishaw, I mean that no
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: idea who that is. If you like fraternities and all
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: that stuff, I guess it's cool.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's a great if you're doing it on coolness,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I mean five Slamma Jama, I'm jealous. Scratch that one off.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Hold on, that's a cool nickname.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: There's a still I'm gonna go a different route.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go based on how iconic it was.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: So I'm gonna go with dream Team.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: It's pretty good.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: It's good pick fifth on my big board.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Damn.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: They're trying to influence you all the time. They're always
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: trying to say that my picks are.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: When I get to there's a golden place, you usually
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: have a good pick and then you ruin it. Yeah,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: so I'm assuming this is going to be a good pick.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: All right, So I have the swing pick here, I
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: have two for based on this on coolness, fab.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Five, that's my first pick. So that's your pick.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Well, that's my first pick.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Now that Now the team was cool? But was it
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: the nickname cool? I like to pick just asking questions.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Fab five is pretty cool. Yeah, I know you're asking questions.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, suddenly you turn into a journalist. Man.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Geez twelfth on my big board.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I liked you better when you tell me I Jay
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Joe was going to make a difference.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Black Mamba was so high on my big boards.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Cant I tell you the one I wrote down? Yes,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: killer Bees?
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Why are you giving that one away?
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't are you drafting that one? No,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I'm taking I'm gonna uh pander to Dan Dander Legion
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: of Boom. How about that's legiond of Boom come out
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: that in there for fun whatever.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: That was a great pick, number two of them my
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: big board, Fab five and Boom. And if since it
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: was number two of them on big board, do you
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: think I would have just picked it?
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: But you didn't. I didn't, but you didn't. You left
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: it for me, but you didn't. So now it's back
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: to Taylor or not. Mikey, I'm sorry it goes to me.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Uh And I'm gonna go again.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna go more iconic.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take murderers Row. Of course you are.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what team that is. That's great
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: team that got the Yankees.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Did you hear I heard Ricardo from from from here.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a team that got swept by the Red
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Sox over the weekend. No, that's not murderers, that's that
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Murderers Row is upset.
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: It's the Buffalo Bills in the nineteen seventies.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: That Yankee team that got swept by the Red Sox
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: is the inmates running the assignment murder.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: They're one back in the A l E.
• 22:56

  Speaker 3: How could you say that?
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Rible?
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: Terrible?
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Jesus, no one cares about the Yankees. By the way, Taylor.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I was just in New York City. You're right, the
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Knicks to take it over and no one cares. And
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: New York can go twenty years without winning anything and
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: no one would care about it.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Seriously, there's saying beast mode is not one of my options.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: So with my round two pick, I'm going to go
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: to hockey. Surprisingly really, I'm going to go to the
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Philadelphia Flyers. Broad Street Bully, broad Street Bully just mean,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: memorable fits, the team identity checks all the boxes, does it?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: That's up to Dan get I said, sorry, I'm shook.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Make sure we asked Dan if that checks all the boxes.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: At the end, you got two picks?

• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Purple Yeah, one of them.

  Speaker 3: They're purple and they eat people. At least I know
• 23:55

• 24:05
  Speaker 3: recency bias. I'm gonna say Splash Brothers.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's pretty good.
• 24:10

• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go ahead and tell you, because you guys
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: can leave it there for me, you cannot. But that
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: was ahead of the bad Boy Pistons, all right.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: So funny enough really to just double check and make
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: sure nobody picked U no is he mentioned the nickname Magic.

  Speaker 4: this team instead. Yep, the Showtime Lakers, Showtime.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: It's pretty good.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: It's fine. It's no steel curtain.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: You're right, it's better.
• 24:43

  Speaker 3: That was on the Mounta Rushmore of first round picks.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Absolutely was mikey A.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: I was considering the bad Boy Piston since as he
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: mentioned them. But I just really love this name and
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: maybe maybe it's just something for me. I love Monsters

  Speaker 3: Not mad yet, I'm still gonna win this. This is
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: not that you would strong defense, steel curtain, purple people leaders.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: All right, So we were just hoping for a golden
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Next Taylor's left.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: This is another one that is he mentioned and for
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: some reason he's He's is he has mentioned more good
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: team nicknames than he has picked this Dred wrong. The
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: bad Boy pistons Man.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good pick. It is bad boys come
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: out clay. But if ever a nickname kind of summarized

  Speaker 3: what they were, I mean, they're pretty good.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Was a bad boy? Pretty good? Is it?

• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Is it just me?
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Yep?
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: So it's I'm choosing between the four Horsemen.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Oh that's good, Jesus.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: But the one that I'm actually gonna pick, I like
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: better just because it's obviously more recent than the Four Horsemen.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: The Big Red Machine. That's really good, all right, more winner.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: It's it's it's rare to go more recent and then
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: still end up in sev It's unbelievable.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: What a decade I was born in that decade I
• 28:13

  Speaker 4: It's the Mockery, the Liddle Empire.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: The name Defense is not bad, although again it's the Hogs,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: the no name Defense.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Heatles, Yeah, all the Heatles, well, the Big Three,
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: the Redeemed Team.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: All right, Dann Bayer, what do we think here? What
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: are we thinking? Actually?
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: I just want to I want to start out with
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: a question, and this is to Taylor. Taylor, what year
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: were you born?
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Nine four?
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: So I'm just trying to decipher if Taylor is rich
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: in sports history or if he's one of those poser
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: kids nowadays who wears Nirvana t shirts or wears you know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: because all of Taylor's were Wade, he wasn't even born
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: yet when these names were pop So I thought that
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: that was interesting. I think that Mikey a is top
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: shelf in a lot of his dream team Monsters of
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: the Midway, But neither of those two had the golden ticket,
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: which was picked and was picked in the third round,
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: and it was picked.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: By a person.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Thing.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: Uh, yes, that's what I was trying to get to,
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: by a person who decided to go with a team
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: by the Bay, and that would be Stu Gotts Run
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: TMC was the golden ticket today in the Battle of
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: the Warrior nicknames.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: So Stu is top two.
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: You guys also left out Pony Express, which I am
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: a fan of early nineteen eighties SMU. Lethal Weapon three
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: at Georgia Tech was another good one, but the golden
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: ticket was run TMC. So Stu's in the top two. Gosh,
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: this is this is really tough. Five slamm a Jama
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: is good. It's between Taylor and Stu for the top
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: two spots. So is a year four Mikey three. I
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: hate the Fab five. They ruined my childhood, the Fab five.
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: Can I have known that at Boom Taylor is the winner?
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: Five Slama Jama and I will I will believe that
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: Taylor loves history and didn't just want to be trendy.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, how am I to know they ruined your childhood?
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: I realized my mistake. Three of my four teams are
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: from the seventies, three other four from the seventies.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: Not knowing the topic, the winner almost came down to
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: my Murderers Road joke. Whoever laughed the loudest was almost
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: going to win. But I didn't think that that would
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: be fair.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Godson Company
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Live weekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I blurted out during the break that there was a
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: cookie cake in the kitchen overrated? Really? Oh yeah, Taylor
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: put it on the pole.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Cookie cake overrated.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: Just give me a cookie better in principle than in practice?
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: What Taylor put it on the pole?
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well you're right, you're the expert here, Taylor.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: What was the phrase you just used? There?
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Better in principle than in practice? Cookie cake too, But
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: it would just never be my first choice cake.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: I was in the kitchen. That's very dangerous with a
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: couple of box of donuts. Yeah, I could absolutely murder
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: an entire box.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Well, these are the reasons I came back to radio.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: A cookie cake and a couple of boxes of donuts.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: Yes, there's nothing sadder though, than the last couple of
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: donuts in an assorted donut box?
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Right, terrible?
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Are they always the same donuts?
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, they're always those plain ones.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Yes they were left there for a reason.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like you opened an assorted box of donuts and
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: you see two donuts left, Just close the box. You're
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: not gonna grab either one.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Of those, the donuts that no one else wanted.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: The irrelevant of donuts.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: If you're ever in that situation again, give those one
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: of those donuts to try, because a bad donut is
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: not really a bad donut. You will be one hundred
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: percent surprised about how by how good that last donut is.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: It's like it's always the ones that are like so
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: chalky and like like a cinnamon powder on it and
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: nothing else, and you're just eating it and it's like
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: you're just coughing. It feels like you're doing the cinnamon Challenge.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: You're just like you go to the wrong dome.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I think he's right, it's the last pick in the
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: NFL draft.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: See.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: The problem is when the cinnamon powder is sad for
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: so long and it just becomes like a cinnamon paste.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, yea, the rock Party of donuts.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Very very rarely does mister irrelevant turn into Brock Party.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: So to is he's point, Maybe you're going to catch
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: a good donut every once in a while. I would
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: say the last donut in a box once every fifty donuts.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe, I mean there was one. Maybe I'm just
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: recncy biased here, but recently not that I'm a huge
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: consumer of donuts. I love them, but I can't eat
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: them too much. There was one final donut and it
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: looked like dry and like speckled with like blueberry something,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: and I was like, that's not going to be a
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: good donut and I give it a dry Anyway, it
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: was lovely. It was amazing, and I was like, you
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: know what, I'm going to get the last donut a
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: chance next.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Time again, Taylor, what happened with the Uruguay It teas
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: that last segment. I never got back to it. What
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: happened with the Uruguay soccer team? What's going on there?
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: So?
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: Uruguay came into the World Cup rank sixteenth in the world.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: They didn't make it out of the group. Their group
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: included Spain, Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia. They were a
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: massive favorite to it. It was supposed to be them
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: in Spain to get out of the group. And you
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: look at Cape Verde who got out. Cape Verde just
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: drew three times, like that's all. It really took three
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: points to get through. Now, more than ever, teams are
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: getting through out of the group because they are taking
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: a certain amount of third place teams, so you get
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: to that number of thirty two teams. They came into
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: the tournament as a potential dark horse. After they lose
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: to Spain to seal their fate of not going through
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: to the knockout stage. They were scheduled to return to
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: South America via a private charter jet. The Uruguay Football
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Association canceled and said, you guys could fly back commercial.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: They don't deserve it.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: They got a frontier flight.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: That's insane behavior.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Spirit used to be the joke there and is isy.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: I know what everybody's thinking, how do you fix a
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: toxic culture, because Uruguay right now has a toxic culture.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: You take away the charter flight. I'm sure that'll show
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: that team.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Economy and yes economy, yes back ross and middle seats
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: for everyone.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: I was watching, or somebody posted some Korean news organization
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: and they were, I guess, running a live broadcast of
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: the postgame interviews for the Korean team, which was another disappointment,
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: right Taylor, They lured the faces of the players so
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: as not to get the Korean people angry with them.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: That's how embarrassing that was.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: But this was even worse.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: So the people from Uruguay have come out and try
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: to defend why they canceled the chartered flight, and their
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: reasoning does make sense. They said they canceled the charter
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: flight or the people's explanation for why they think they
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: canceled this chartered flight is the level of embarrassment of
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: not making out of the group. Uruguay fans would know
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: when a chartered flight is getting back to the country,
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: and they'd be there to harass the players, you know,
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: throw things at the players when they get off the plane.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: This way, you don't necessarily have a schedule, and players
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: are getting in on staggered return trips. But also at
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: that point, somebody like Darwin Nunia is the striker for Uruguay,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: he's just by himself, by himself on a plane, and
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: he doesn't really have his teammates there to protect them.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: How many flights are where'd they play? How many flights
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: are there from wherever they play? To you that you
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: can't just figure it out?
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, go ahead, mikeel So, I just looked it up.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: The last game was in Guadalajara, And just so we're clear,
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: that is anywhere from a fifteen and a half to
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: a nineteen and a half hour flight, depending where in Uruguay.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: You're going, Wow, when coach in a middle seat by yourself.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Do you think they're sitting there in that middle said yeah,
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: this is what I deserve. Definitely should have made it
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: past the group stage. But it's a great ex Yes,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: it's a heavy player.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: No pun intended to say, hey, we're concerned about our
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: players because if we put them all on different flights
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: and middle seats in the last row, no one's gonna
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: know when they're each arriving, and even if they knew,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: no one's gonna stick around to arrass all of them.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: Hey, you're how about you support your players and rather
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: than just hey, you guys are on your own, save yourselves,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: how about you get a little extra security for when
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: they do fly in on their private play and say, hey,
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: we love these guys, these are our countrymen. Stay the
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: heck away. How about you get out of the group.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was Cape Verde with a forty year old
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: goaltender Arabia that the cape Verde knows how to draw
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: like that, there's some dramatic draws from that team.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: You can't really give the other should flying to Cape
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: Verde their heroes there?
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, so I'm looking it up. There's an eight
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: thousand dollars flight. It leaves at six forty am. It
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: connects at George Bush International. I believe that's in Houston, Yes,
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: and then goes to Takumen International Airport in Panama. And
• 37:25
  Speaker 5: then the next day you arrive at seven to twenty
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: am at Carrasco International Airport.
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: Huh, just a three leg trip for eight grand. So
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: these guys are so rich and so influential in Uruguay
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: that if I'm them and you cancel the chartered flight
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: back to Uruguay, I'm not really in a rush to
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: get back to Uruguay.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: I think I'm taking this as an opportunity. I'm getting
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: on the first flight to you know, some tropical island that, yes, Guadalajara, Tonululu.
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Please first class, just.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Stay in the state. We don't care.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they could just afford their own private
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: jet and go wherever the heck they want to go.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: Oh man, is he I'm intrigued a little bit about
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: what's going on.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I am. I have to be honest with you about
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: Golden State. Step yes, steph sur soccer. Well, now listen,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: I'm done with soccer. I've owned the World Cup. I mean,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: no one has predicted more games correctly than I have.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, let me get my last World Cup observation out.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: I wrote down here. England looks like an entire team
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: that is bad at sex. That's how they played soccer.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm done with World Club AVACS World Cup observation.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Hold on note now I'm interested. I'm back to soccer again. Okay,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: you have England is a team that looks terrible at
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: having sex every year? What do you mean? Just like
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: they're like.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Superstars, but they're all like kind of stiff, and they're
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: all just kind of looking out for their own thing
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: every once in a while and then hey, if something
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: great happens at the end, fantastic. But they just they
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: come across as a team.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: It's just bad in bed.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I think stiff would be a positive.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm seven percent English.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I don't really have it against you.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: I don't really have a rooting and I don't really
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: have a rooting interest though this World Cup. Like I
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: got my results back from whatever site. It was twenty
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: three men. I didn't really want to give them free
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: promo there, but I still said it. Anyways, seven percent English.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: I got that back hoping that I would get, you know,
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: some rooting interest from the World Cup. When I saw
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: seven percent English, I was like, I really don't want
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: to root for this team.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Mikey is so proud of his seven percent less good
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: in sex joke. Anyway, back to Golden States, please. I'm
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: intrigued by Anthony Davis, Steph Curry, Lebron James Draymond Green.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: I'm intrigued to see if they could stay healthy, which
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: they probably can't. I'm intrigued to see if they did
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: stay healthy, even for sixty plus games, right, which would
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: be a miracle for Anthony Davis, if that team would
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: be any good.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: And so I am intrigued.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: It's like, you know, you're bringing cagey vets together and
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: you're seeing if they could do it one last time.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: And I think the NBA would well welcome that, and
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: I think fans would like to see if that could happen.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: The funny part about the intriguing part is if they
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: can stay healthy. So we're all just waiting for game
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: maybe too and be like, Wow, they all played seventy games.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: That's amazing. Look spoiler alert, if they all play a
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: bunch of games, it's gonna be a good team. But
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna back that up with another spoiler alert. Not
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: gonna happen. It's just not gonna happen that way. Not
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: only is Anthony Davis, you know, famously infamously the most
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: fragile player in NBA history, Steph Curry's had some seasons
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: where he's missed a bunch of games. Yes, Draymond Green
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: is not getting any younger. He's going to have to
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: play as hard as ever to be in championship contention. Again,
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: He's gonna miss a bunch of games. I just don't
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: really see that happening. And if you do put that
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: team together, who's the guy that's still gonna have to
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: carry them when it matters again? Third spoiler alert, It's
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: not gonna be Anthony Davis. It's gonna be Steph Curry one,
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Lebron James two. I just if I'm Lebron James, and
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at my final season to be a final
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: championship or sort of the best fun most funny year
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: I've ever had. He might have some fun playing with Steph,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: of course, but playing with Golden State under somebody else's championship,
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: you know, or somebody else's dynasty, with the demands that
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: come along with playing for that organization with Draymond Green
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: next to you doing some crazy stuff, and then you're
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: gonna get frustrated with Anthony Davis again. It's just gonna happen.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: He frustrated you when you were in LA together, even
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: though you want a title, He's going to frustrate you again.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: If I'm Lebron James, I'm looking for a more certain
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: with a lot less you know, a lot less age
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: issues and a team that can, you know, give me
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: a championship chance. And I think the Warriors, even with
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: that group, you could say, yeah, Western Conference finals probably,
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: But there are some young, hungry athletic teams in the
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Western Conference. I just don't know if they're gonna they're
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: gonna fly.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: So I think the only thing Lebron is thinking about
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: in this final season, if indeed it's his final season,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: is how do I tack on another championship? Where can
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I go? Whether it's staying in LA, whether it's going
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: to Golden State, whether it's coming to Miami, whether it's
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: going back to Cleveland. Where can I go that gives
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: me the best chance of winning a fifth ring? And
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: so I'm asking you, of the teams available, which team
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: gives him the best chance of winning that fifth ring?
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean every team's available, right.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: He could go in, Well, the teams that people are talking, right, so.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: You're basically discussing the Golden State Warriors, the Miami Heat,
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: who else? The Cleveland cavalitys saying Cleveland Cavaliers, I believe,
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: I want to say staying with the Lakers is pretty
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: much out of it right now. Okay, but let's just
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: say those three teams. I think naturally, if you're just
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: looking at if the rosters were to stay the same,
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: I would say, what the best sidekick of those three
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: situations would be? What Donovan Mitchell.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Am? I right? I mean sidekick you're you're basing that
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: is Lebron the sidekick to Donovan Mitchell.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, it would be It would be steph though, right,
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: it'll probably be in never mind, it would be honest,
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: it would be yeah to me. Look, I think their
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: games might not match, their games might not be the
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: perfect fit. But I think a trio of let's say
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: four people, right, because Andrew Wiggins signed in there too,
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: but johannist at the Koupo Bam out of Bayo, Lebron,
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: James Andrew Wiggins. What the Heat have to offer in
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: that point, and you know that that pat Riley's not
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: going to leave that alone. If he brings in Lebron,
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: He's gonna try to, you know, fill that team with
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: as much talent as possible. True, I think Miami makes
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: a ton of sense. I think Cleveland makes sense just
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: in terms of basketball on the pieces. I just don't
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: know if that's the location for him. I don't know
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: if that's as much of a sure thing. You don't
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: have the honest you have a Donovan Mitchell, but what
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: has he really done in the playoffs.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: With the Warriors trying to acquire Anthony Davis from the Wizards,
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: the one piece that I hope they don't have to
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: get rid of is Yaxell Lendenberg because when the Warriors
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: drafted him, it felt like that was almost them signaling, hey,
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: we're still trying to do this win now mode for
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: Steph Curry, because Yaxell came in as one of the
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: oldest players in the draft, but as one of the
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: most NBA ready guys. But Jaxel Lendenberg, every time he talks,
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: he is he is the least media trained person in
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: the NBA, to where he's just gonna always say what's
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: on his mind. He gets drafted by the Warriors, he says, yeah,
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: I grew up a kyrie, irving guy. I hated Steph Curry.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: And then when he was talking about Steve Kurry, he
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: was like, Steve curt normally doesn't play rookies, but you're
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: looking around at this team. I have a good chance
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: to play. I have a good chance to start
