• 0:21
  Speaker 2: in the paint, Leans in layo.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Block by Nanny see Nazi.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Is everywhere for Denver bucking here's huge. Murray gets down
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the lane, kick out three Watson lock Stone one o
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: six to ninety three. Denver leads it by thirteen. Murray
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: has it, brings it back out over to the middle,
• 0:41

  Speaker 2: one oh nine to ninety eight to eleven point lead,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: rebound tap grab by Murray put back three if the

• 1:04
  Speaker 2: seventeen assists in eight rebounds, and the Nuggets stunned the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Boston Celtics in the Garden Final tonight, one fourteen to
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: one ten.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Do you like apples? How do you like their max?
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: I heard missus to open the appetizer moje, But there's
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: a comic I think it was Louis c. K who
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: said the entire sequence of that scene in Goodwill Hunting. Yeah,
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: that entire exchange gets ruined if he says do you
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: like apples and the guy goes no, No. That's all
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: it took for his entire giant comeback to be thwarted.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: That guy was a bag though, right, yes he was.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: That guy was a total snooty, snotty bag. Moses once
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: againt once again, what we have is the Nuggets going
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: in and out efforting a team that on paper is
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: more talented than they are. Uh, it's funny. It's like
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: the care factor, especially in regular season basketball matters, and that's.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: What this team has been doing.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: They did get Jamal Back and Christian Brown and ag
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: and Tim Hardaway and all the guys that they were
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: missing from the previous game, but it was still you
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: look at it the matchup and he gonna be tough.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, Boston's a really good team, even not having
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Jayson Tatum this year, and.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: They've been playing very well.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: But here's the keys.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: They'd won like eight of nine or nine of ten.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: People like that going in.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: This isn't about Hey, Gordon and Christian Brown and Jamal
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: came back to the lineup. This is about Peyton, Watson
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: and zig Nagi. Like the game pe Watt had last
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: night was remarkable, ten to fifteen from the floor, six
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: of seven from three, making huge defensive plays, being good
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: in the clutch. Zeke Nausey with a couple of huge
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: plays late in that game. And it's gonna lead to
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: another discussion again, and we'll get there in a minute.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: But despite not having Jokic, they had five games left
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: on that road trip. They were three and two, three
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: and two without.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Them, I thought they might go one and six. You
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: and me, boy, I mean, I end up thinking to myself,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I guess I'll probably take that at this point, I
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: don't know. It just feels to me like these guys realize, look,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: we don't have the big fella no matter who's on
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: the floor. And listen, Jamal is very good. Ag we
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: know is very good. He's coming off the bench now
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: as of right now, just getting worked back in. But
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: if we don't play hard, we're probably going to get embarrassed.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: We gotta play harder. We're gonna look, you know, like
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: fools out there. Yeah, and then you play hard and
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: then you hang around, and I'm watching that mostly the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: second half is where this really struck me. So then
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: you're down, you know, let me give you an example.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Let's say you're down sixty four to sixty one, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: then seventy two to sixty nine, and then it's seventy
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: nine to seventy and then it's what they would they would.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: I can't remember the total number. They were down a bit, though.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah you're but you're hanging around and then you go
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: on a little run yourself. Did you get an elite?
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: And I think that every single time you punch the
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Boston Celtics back in the mouth, they sort of didn't
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: know what to do. They sort of didn't know, eh.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what was what was even most
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: impressive to me. I'm watching Jalen Brown bring the ball
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: up the floor and the Denver Nuggets flustered him. Yes
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: they did. And this is a great, great player who
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: took twenty nine shots last night, but they were all
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: up in him.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Dude on Jaylen Brown.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: He's averaging high in every category right now for his
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: career and points and field goal percentage and three point
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: percentage like all this different stuff.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: His career highs kind of across the board.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: They every time he brought the ball up the floor,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: and every time he tried to penetrate her whatever he
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: wanted to do. The Denver Nuggets had two or three
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: guys on him. And what they did is they got
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: they called U haul, got their stuff. Yeah, they loaded
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: it into the U haul, took their time, you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: hired a couple of college kids to help out. Sure,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: they unloaded their stuff into his jock, and then they
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: hung out his jock, set up the big screen, you know,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: started you know, making some wings, that kind of thing.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: And yeah, they were in his jock every time he
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: tried to get in there. There is.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: We mentioned it briefly a couple of days ago. I
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: do think that there's something we have to bring up.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: By the way, Vick is off today, for those who
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: were wondering the whole Calvin Booth Michael Malone saga in
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: which Calvin Booth was made out to be this dope
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: who didn't know what he was doing and all that
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: different stuff. He gave an eight million dollar extension to
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Zeke Najee. He can't even play. You're drafting guys who
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: can't even see the floor. Instead of getting proven commodities
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: for them. And I've said this from the jump and
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: I will stick by this. I think the proper approach
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: MOJE is what Wallace and Tenzer did this offseason, which
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: is finding veteran players to surround them with guys that
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: you trust, like Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Junior and
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Jonas Valancunis and everybody else like that.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: I also think.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Maybe Calvin Booth was onto something that if you give
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: some of these guys extended playing time, they can capitalize
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: on it improve a bigger part of this team than
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: maybe anybody realized. Because you know what's happening right now again,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: small sample size. Looks like Zeke Naji can give you minutes,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: looks like Jalen Pickett can give you minutes. Looks like
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Peyton Watson is a little bit higher caliber a player
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: than even we realized two weeks ago.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: So what are you saying that maybe you don't have
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: to do a damn thing well, that you stand pat
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: with what you got and you can roll with what
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: you got into the postseason.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Here's what I'm saying.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: There's gonna be a question on whether you're gonna pay
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Peyton Watson or not. Coming up this offseason.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think there should be.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Well, it depends on if you want to get back
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: in that luxury tax and the aprons and all the
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: discussions we hate to have. But if you do and
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: he plays this way, then you're gonna be right back
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: in there.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: If you think you have the talent on paper that's
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: good enough that you can keep that together, that's fine.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: But here's the bigger thing. Most just for this season,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: just to focus on the rest of this year, we
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: knew this team had as much depth as they've ever
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: had in the Yokajara heading into the season because of
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: the acquisitions that they made with Valentiunis and Brown and
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Tim Hardaway Jr.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: That's your fun.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, do they have even more than a though
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: somebody ringing the bell?
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: Do they have even more than we thought they very
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: well could?
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, but the thing is, this is what we
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: thought is a deep team with the Hardaway and the
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Bruce e b back and the Valentiunis in this so on.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, we maybe they are deeper than we thought beforehand,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: and maybe this is a lucky beneficiary of having guys
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: who have been injured, having other guys play and you
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: can find out more about them. I want to state
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: one thing right now that is a fact, and I
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: want everybody to understand about this whole. Nobody hates the
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: word apron more than I do. Nobody hates the term
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: bird rights more than I do. What throw out some
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: other crap nellie that I hate? What else do I hate?
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: You just hate birds in general because they steal your food? Yeah,
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: you hate the song everybody hurts Byram That stinks?
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: No, But I mean in terms of basketball terminology, like
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Jay Coin came on here and he started going bird
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: right to the second aprin. I mean because only he
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: understands that he's a brilliant guy right when he throws
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: out these things that apply. I hate all that crap.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: But the Denver Nuggets aren't. They're not averse to getting
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: into aprons. They're not averse to paying the money. Nope.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: The only reason you get averse to any of that
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: is if you can't win. But if you can win,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: then pay. And they don't have a problem doing that.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: They've proven that time and time again. But you gotta
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: be sure. This is where it gets tricky, This is
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: where it gets sticky. You gotta have a pretty damn
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: good feeling that you got the horses to run that derby. Well,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: that's that, and that's it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: That's because if you are in one of those aprons,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: here's what it basically tells you. It tells you you
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: can keep your team together like guys.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: On the roster.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: You can keep and you can throw as much money
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: at them as you want to. It restricts what you
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: do outside the roster.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: It means you can't do restrict anything else.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Yes, that's what it does.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: And that's why when when they traded Porter this offseason,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: they had this freedom, in this ability to go out
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: and make the moves that they did because they weren't
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: saddled by that apron stuff anymore.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: But hey, if you feel like you got.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: The roster, you could be in aprons and luxury taxes
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: all you want to.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, And by the way, the Nuggets have proven that
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: they will do that. They're not they're not against paying
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: the bread at all.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: And I did that and won a championship.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: But I think any person out there who watched Nuggets
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: basketball the last several years, last let's say, the last
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: two and a half years since the championship you realize
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: that you probably didn't have a deep enough team to win.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: When Bruce had to flee and you know, Jeff had
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: to go all this different stuff. You couldn't keep that
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: team together. You just couldn't, not because you didn't want to,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: because you were in the aprons and the rules say
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: you can't keep that team together, right, And then you
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: knew that it wasn't deep enough to win. He couldn't
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: do it, and so you were restricted. That's why all
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: these other deals in the MP That's why it had
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: to happen, so you can get out from underneath that
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: to be able to actually do something to get a
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: team that maybe you put back in the apron. Right.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: This is where this is where John and Benn and
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: people higher than that have to make their decision. Do
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: you have the team right now to keep together? I
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: think Peyton Watson has shown me plenty. I think you've
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: got to pay him well. And here's the thing about well.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: And by the way, if you don't want to pay him,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, you do want to, but if you
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: don't want to do any aprons, then you're gonna have
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: to move somebody else.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Here's the thing about Watson and It's something I have
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: to remind myself over and over again. He didn't play
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: in college. He didn't play his first year in the league.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: He barely played his second year. He finally applaying time
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: last year, and now he's getting even more And it
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: feels like the timeline for the assessment of what kind
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: of player he is and what his ceiling is. It's
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: kind of like when Porter first got in the league,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: because he didn't play in college. Really, he didn't play
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: his first year in the league. Like well, his pack
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: was also incredibly warm. But that's what I'm saying, Like
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: to assess what kind of player he is, it's on
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: a longer time frame than it is somebody else where.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: You can figure that out. Maybe in the first couple
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: of years.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Did we listen to us though? Would you listen to yourself?
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: I mean what, Steve, I wish Vic was here just
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: to tell you to listen to yourself. He's good at that.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: Why what.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: We're trying to figure out who these guys are at
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: the age of twenty one. It's so stupid. I'm so mad.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: When a contract is up, you can't have to think
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: that sex.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: But that's what stinks sometimes, man you ever heard of
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: a late bloomer. I'm not saying pee wats a late
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: bloomer or MPG was or anything else, but you ever
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: heard of a late bloomer. Sure, gonna give you an
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: example of a late bloomer. I've got two on the
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Avalanche right now. You in high school. Well, I'm still blooming, baby,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I'm always comping Hawks, right two hand, Let me guess.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Let me guess.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Two on the Avs right now. Late bloomers Legewood, No,
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: he bloomed. Well, he's playing his best hockey right now.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: But but but he didn't. He wasn't. Now I think
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: VAL's a bit of a late bloomer.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Will make it three then Val, and that that.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Devanta's is a late bloomer. Okay, full on college career,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: full on minor league career before he got his crack
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: with the Islanders and then kicked ass. Now and now
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: he's on team Canon. No, like he's always been good. Okay,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: now he's on Team Canada big time, right, he's north
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: of thirty. Yep, Sam Malinsky's a late bloomer.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true, full.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: College career, undrafted free agent, so on and so forth.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: And now Sam Malinsky looks to be a guy in
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: your lineup, a guy in your blue line that this
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: guy's pretty damn good. Yeah, he's playing pretty damn good.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: So maybe you know, maybe Peyton Watson what he is
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: at the age of twenty three, not playing college hoops really,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: you know, being injured himself and so on. Maybe we
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: give these guys to the twenty five. The crappy part
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: is you really can't because the contracts come up and
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: you got a bet on the future up.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: This sounds a lot like what they thought Zeke Nasei
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: was that he was a late bloomer and we're going
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: to see the benefits of that in this next contract,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: and then it never really happened, and maybe it's starting
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: to happen right wow.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Ye, and he's only twenty four years age. Do you
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: believe that x Naji right now is tradable with what
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: you're seeing him do on the floor as we speak,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Is that a tradable contract? Yeah?
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know if she'll get a lot for it,
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: but I think somebody would take a flyer on him.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Then here's again, let me get back to my other philosophy.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: People say, oh, well, you signed this guy to this deal,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: you're overpaying him and blah blah blah. All I really
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: care about when it comes to a player in his contract, A,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: how does it affect the cabin doesn't screw you, But
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: B is it tradable? If the moment the guy signs
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: on the dotted line that contract is tradable, then fine
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: with me, because you can always get out from underneath it.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Here's what's difficult. Though everybody has said Zeke Naji is
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: not a tradable contract. Dario Sartz was flipped for nothing,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: which I don't know if there's any contract that is
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: truly untradable. Darro Sartz can't play moj and somebody took
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: that contract.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: I can't for nothing.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I can't believe. I know, I can't believe the Kings
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: did that. Speaking of trades there, I simply cannot believe.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: There's one that has happened in the NBA and one
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: that looks like it might happen that we'll get to
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: a little bit later that could flip a whole bunch
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: of different stuff and things that don't make sense.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: By the way, in these trades.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: They three of the mojis today, there's no day three.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Oh that sucks. I know, we had a lot of
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: fun last year and Nelly, did people go back and listen?
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: For those who couldn't listen, have people gone to where
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: they stream and streamed it? You think?
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: I hope so, because not only did I make a
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: full recap of the twenty twenty six mojis, I went
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: into the vault and I re uploaded the twenty twenty
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: five moji's recap that was still far around the server.

• 17:50
  Speaker 3: what we've been doing. Yeah, it's pretty obvious. Yeah, it's
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: pretty odd because the Hornets are coming to town. Right. Oh.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: I never you know what I never did yesterday. I
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: never read to you the words of my school's fight song,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: which is so dumb.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: We don't have to. It's fine, are you sure?
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we don't got to.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: If ever, there was a day that it was relevant.
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: They are the Hornets and we are giving away Hornets
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: ticket boom.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Get that a little bit later, but the best Let
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: me finish it. Yeah, let me finish up my thought
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: here on the Nuggets because I just didn't get enough. Okay,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: So they're back in third place in the West, right
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: and the Spurs are right above them. Maybe I've got
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: to readjust my my outlook on what they can maintain
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: with the big fella and Cam Johnson out of the lineup.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Maybe I've got to readjust my my hopes and my
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: my wishes and my expectations and all this kind of thing.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Because you give that kind of effort, Bro, you can
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: win a lot of basketball games. I mean, you just
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: won two on the road against the number three and
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: five team in the East who have been playing good ball.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: I would say this that I am way more encouraged
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: at the prospect that they can be a five hundred
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: club in the absence of Jokichen and Cam Johnson. The
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: one thing that about like they've won two in a
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: row now that feels a little bit unsustainable. The amount
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: of effort they have to give every night to scratch
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: their way to a victory, I think is just it's
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be a lot to do with you, but
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: you're building understood, understood, But you know this as good
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: as any motion. Like the idea that guys on, especially
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: in basketball hockey is a little bit different, but over
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: the course of an eighty two game season, that you
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: bring that same level of intensity every night is it's
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: hard to pull out of people when you play that
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: many games during a regular season.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: So I mean, I get it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: I'm way more encouraged now than I was.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: I think I was quoted as saying this team is
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: going to be ass in the month that Yokich is out.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: I retract that statement. They aren't.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: But here's the good news. Tomorrow night they play Atlanta.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Atlanta doesn't have Trey Young anymore. You don't have to
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: worry about that. That's another another crep situation. Let's let's
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: save that because there is so many details as to
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: his preferred destination was the worst the league.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: That's so weird. But at the same time.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: You I looked up, is he from Washington, d C.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: He's from like Oklahoma.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Maybe he's got a gal I don't know. Maybe he
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: likes to to dabble in you know, international politics relations. Yeah,
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I don't, I don't know. He's looking to be what
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: is it.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: What's the job that I want in politics where you
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: don't actually do it? An ambassador. I want to be
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: an ambassador somewhere where he basically you just go. You
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: have dinner every once in a while with the people
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: who run the country, and you're just like all right you.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to be like the ambassador to Aruba.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, not a country that's not an important country. No, no,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: I don't want to.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: I don't want to be ambassador to Afghanistan.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Past, dude. I think the best job in the world
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: would be ambassador to Italy.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: But even Italy is too important.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: I want like ambassador to the Maldives. That's there, the
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: ambassador to the Vama.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: What's the one?
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: What's the country that has the the dude every year
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: that's all oiled up and uh walks out at the Olympics.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: What country is that? Somebody's got to know what I'm talking.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: He's like, he comes out shirtless, he's just like caked
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: in in oil.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: Okay, Brett, I kid you not. I started to search
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: oiled up and it completed oiled up Olympic flag. Yes, yes,
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: who says an auto complete on Google?
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Who is it? Oh? Uh?
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: Peta tau Fu country.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: I have no idea what Tonga is, but if that
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: guy's coming out oiled up and shirtless, it's gotta be.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Nice with perfect anyway. I don't back to Tree young yeah, man,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: it just real quick, this is what happened with the
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Nuggets and Mellow, and the fact that they got a
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: hole for Mellow was very very good. But here's what
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: he said. I want to go to New York. I
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: want to play for the Knicks. Period.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Hang on a second.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Now, I'm twoing on Tonga for a second. I gotta
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: I gotta finish this before I move on. The waters
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: surrounding Tonga are seventy nine degrees.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: Tell me, yeah, tell me, I didn't sound dude. I
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: can float all day Tonga climate, No, I just play with.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: I just play with dolphins, and I just play with
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: dolphins all day. Man.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Init a minute, Wait a minute. So in the winter,
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: so it's this.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: August is the coolest month in Tonga, with average highes
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: around seventy six.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Let's go, but make me an ambassador. Do it already.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure we need an ambassador to Tonga. But that's
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: just me. It doesn't matter.
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: Here's what I want to ask you.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: I want to ask you a question because we got
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: college footballlayoffs starting tonight.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: I want to get to that in a few minutes.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: In regards to the Broncos, because I saw that vance
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Joseph has I believe three virtual meetings today right with
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: different teams.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: I don't know which teams are.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: He can't legally meet in person with anybody.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, these will tie into each other. What I'm about
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: to say, I'm like nervous at the prospect of losing
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Vance Joseph.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: I think he is.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Far more important than he has been given credit for.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: And I know that people around here recognize that he
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: is a very key piece to this team's success.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: But we've discussed this before.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: It's like, I know the organization appreciates what he's done,
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: but his name doesn't come up very often when like
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton's talking about the things they did well. How
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: many times does he say Vance had a really good
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: game plan or something.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Well, he does it a lot more now than he
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: did back in the day.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: I think that even if they don't have success in
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: the postseason, Vance got a good shot at a job.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: But if they do, he's got a really, really good
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: shot at a job. And it comes down to this,
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: to me, what you think of the Broncos chances in
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: the playoffs are, and how far they can go, and
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: can they win a Super Bowl and all those different things.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: It comes to the way you think success happens in
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: the postseason. And here's what we've been conditioned on for
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: about two straight decades, if not longer. The best quarterback
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: is the one that you fear the most, right because
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: we have had a league that's been dominated by like
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: three all timers. It's been Brady, it's been Manning, it's
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: been Breeze, it's been Roethlisberger, it's been.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: You name it, Mahomes, Mahomes.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Obviously, when you're one of the best quarterbacks of all time,
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: you're typically seen as the favorite. Here's the consistence thing
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: that's happened throughout the history of the NFL. If I
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: give you this mos, how many of the top thirteen
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: defenses in points per game in the NFL or in
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: the playoffs, what would you say?
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: I would say, how many of the top thirteen?
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: How many of the top thirteen that finished top thirteen
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: in points allowed per game are in It's.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Probably at least ten.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: It's eleven, Okay, eleven of the top thirteen. Here's your exceptions.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: And this is what's funny, because these are the three
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: teams that I said no three playoff teams that I
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: said have no shot. The only teams I think I
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: have no shot at the Super Bowl. I said the
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Panthers don't. They're fifteenth. I said the Steelers don't, they're seventeenth.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: And I said the Bears, despite a fun season, don't
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: have a shot out a super Bowl. They're twenty second
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: in the league. Top defenses are the things that breed success.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Even when you have the really good quarterbacks in the league,
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: most you need to have a good defense. And I'll
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: give you a prime example. Was Peyton Manning pretty good
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: in twenty thirteen? Well, sure was the defense good?
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Uh? What not like it was at twenty fifteen? No?
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Not really? No?
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: Who would they play in that Super Bowl? They played
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: the Seahawks, a team with an ok quarterback but an unbelievably.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Good defense, really good defense.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: And then twenty fifteen, what happened? Who had the better
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: quarterback in that Super Bowl?
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: It wasn't the Broncos because Manning was busted up.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: They had agree was the MVP? Yeah, but who had
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: the better defense?
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Got you?
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: What do you believe in right now? And sometimes you
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: get both.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you get those years like Mahomes has had really
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: good defenses to go along with how good he was
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: offensively and that's why they've had this sustained run for sure.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Where are the Bills in that list?
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: I'll give you this, the top four defenses in the league.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: If you're just going off of best defenses, it would
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: be your winners of the Super Bowl would be any
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: more one of these top four games Seahawks, Texans, Broncos
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: or Patriots.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: That's your top four. Those are all really good defenses,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Yes they are. I think the Patriots defense is a
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: little bit underrated. Where is Buffalo? Buffalo is give me
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: a moment. I'm sure in terms of perception, I'm not
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: talking about underrated two they're twelfth or twelfth, right.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Twelve?
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Because that team scares me. That team makes me nervous.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: But just what this does is if you have a
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: defense as good as any one of those top four
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: that I just mentioned, it allows your quarterback to not
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: have to be amazing for you to win a football Great. Yeah,
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: and I think a lot of the times in Buffalo
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen has to be amazing.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Is that why we're looking at at Delphers and the
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: you know guys of that ILK.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll just ask you this, give me the given credit,
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: give me the crap defense. It's won a Super Bowl recently,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: like I'd say, in this millennium.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: But like the Rams back in the day, the greatest
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: show on turf, Rams.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Why don't you crap defense? Is you know, Cincinnati, that's
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: a crap defense. Yeah, that ain't winning, Jack, because even
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Joe Burrow can outscore all the problems and put up
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: forty per week. Right, So no, I would say, but
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: you don't have to have a unbelievable top five defense
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: in order to win.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Like I said, if you've got a really good quarterback
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: with a pretty good let me.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Let me explain what I'm talking about though with the
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills and I just because I'm afraid that that's
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: the team that's gonna come here, is that you've got
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: a quarterback that can put up thirty five sure any
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: given week, and a defense that could hold you to
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: twenty five and no problem, right, even though they're not
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: one of these unbelievable giving up sixteen per game or whatever.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: That's where that's where I get with them.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: Texta says, first day of snow coming in Bret's petitioning
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: to be ambassador of Tonga. Yeah, exactly right. I'm done
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: with the snow. I'm not one of you skiers and
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: snowboarders that needs fresh powder.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: I don't need. I've never I can't.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: I can't describe to you what this winner has been
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: like to me. Wearing shorts and a long sleeve shirt
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: every day in January is unbelievable?
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Is it?
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: A shorts and a T shirt? On Christmas?
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding? You're not? I golfed Christmas Eve.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: I golfed on the eve of Christmas Eve.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not the kind of guy who shreds the
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: nar and crushes the pal. I don't. I don't do
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: any of that. No crushing of the pal, shredding of
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: the nar, not for me. Yeah. So, by the way,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: I've never been to the South Pacific? Have you? No?
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: What am I asking you for? You'ven't been up, You
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: haven't been you haven't been outside of Aurora. How am
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: I asking you for?
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: South Pacific?
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: No?
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, what.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Do you mean by South Go? South Pacific?
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: San Diego is that South Pacific? I've been there? What
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: do you mean South Pacific?
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: South Pacific would be like anywhere south of Hawaii all
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: the way to New Zealand. How about that? Now, Fiji Caribbeans, Longa,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: the Cook Islands, French paul Adesia.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: All that kind of stuff. No, I would love to.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: I haven't either, but I bet it would be really
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: expensive New Guinea.
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: If you're an ambassador, you don't pay for.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Anything, No, man, you don't. You don't pay for school.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: On the government's dime.
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: We just live for free in a house and they
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: feed you what, you know, whatever they eat French pole
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: do love that.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: It's like, did you see how much the president gets paid?
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: He only gets paid four hundred thousand dollars, Like he
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: doesn't pay for anything. Oh, I'm sorry, you're gonna make
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: rent this month, mister president.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: It's not how it works. You get free breakfast burritos. Baby.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can just look somebody in the White House,
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Uh Filet Mignon.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Now that's funny again though, the battle that you'd have,
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: especially in this postseason, because there's not a proven playoff
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: quarterback that you trust.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: There's three guys that I think fit that bill.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: By the way, if you want to use the model
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: of best quarterback is gonna win, it's gonna be one
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: of these three teams. Really two, but I'll throw a
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: third one in it's Josh Allen or Matthew Stafford.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: Those are your top ones.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: And then if you want to throw in Jalen Hurts,
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: go ahead, But I know there's dispute on throw him.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: In because he did it last year. Yeah, and but
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: but all the listen, all the in fighting, all the
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: you know, the crying and the I forget about it,
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: the vamping of Brown though, you know everything else that
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: went on. Once you're in it and you've been there before,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: guys have a tendency to sort of focus.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: Yes, all I'm getting all that crap goes away from
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: week six, ignoring the the off field locker room stuff
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: that they might be dealing with. From a mental aspect,
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: every single offensive metric that they have is worse than
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: what the Broncos had this year. And the Broncos aren't
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: seen as some great offense.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: But they have that one guy that is the quarterback's
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: best friend, Saku, Yeah, who's.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Also not had the same type of year.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: But all it takes is one game, Bro, and you're dead.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: Oh that's true.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Hold on a second, Lorena, is it Lorena? Lorena? Lorena?
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: It's not Loretta, not evil evil Loretta.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Did you got another l O person that's texting the
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: show that you can't stand.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Loretta is just she's tough. But oh I just oh,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: here's right here. I'm taking a group to Tahiti in July.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: That's Tahiti, Brody. I'll be the ambassador of Tahiti any day.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: I'm a travel agent with Expedia Cruises and yes it's expensive.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Well can you get me a little employee discount out.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: I'll be a stowaway. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: put me in a broom class at somewhere. I gonna say, yeah,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: brought me. I'll sleep upright in a broom closet. No
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: sw U three three it or not. Guys, this is
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: not the first time you've had this discussion. This reminded
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: me of a drunk take that I had to dig
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: up from summer twenty twenty four. I want to be
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: an ambassador or someplace where can we How do I
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: get that gig? Man?
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: What is an ambassador's job to start with?
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Man, you go there and you eat their food and
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: you talk to their peeps. Yeah, you have relations.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good gig.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: As much as I love geography and I can pick
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: out probably you know, almost every country on a map
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: and tell you where it is and draw you maps
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: and all that kind of thing. Once we get off
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: the coast of la and south of Hawaii, all the
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: way to all Australia, I got nothing. The Tahitis and
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: the Fijigis and the Polynichies and and you know all
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: that stuff. Like even when you start to go north,
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: like when you approach like Indonesia, I am screwed. I can't.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: I I can find New Zealand and Australia, but all
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: those little archipelagos and you know, groups, grouping of islands
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: and all that kind of crap, and the Amelia Earhart disappeared.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: I'm out.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: Here's what I don't know, Jack squad about the South Pacific.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: If I was the ambassador of Tahiti, I would just
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: love to say to my wife, sorry, I can't do that, honey.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: I have a very important meeting with the governor at
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: this tequila bar.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: We have business to discuss.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: It's about national security. Yeah, it's bits important. Listen, I've
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: got some rogue dolphins out there, but you kind of
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: eating eating too many fish. We got to talk about.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: Remember d Austin powers. They had lasers on their heads.
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: I mean they're discussing.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: Now we need to get this taken care of three
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: oh three, five oh four ninety five.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Uh. By the way, that was sharks, freaking sharks whatever.

  Speaker 5: I'll tell you why it.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Teeth.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: I saw Super Bowl LX, and I was trying to
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: do the quick math on what that was.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: It's sixty I know that now, but Readingitude Sports Radio
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: loves football.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: Reading it quickly, the Roman numerals mess me up.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: Well, L is fifty.
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: I I like I said, I know it's sixty. But
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: when I'm reading it fast and you see lex, it's
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: not an immediate meth.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: It's things.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Hey for twenty twenty six, it's the new Super Bowl LX,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: new rec new style leather interior x L I. I
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: what is it that would no, you don't do it
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: that way. You put the biggest number first, right, like
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: l L x I I would be sixty.
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: Sixty two yeah, oh I I that'd be x x
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: x I I would be forty two.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: That'd be thirty two.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: Sorry, I thought that was four xes.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: Wait don't you when it comes to like forty, don't
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: you go x l oh?
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like you minus to the fifty. Yeah, yeah, I
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: think you're right.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Yea, yeah, I think you x L I I and
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: that's forty two. We'll talk and there's no no wonder
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: we got rid of it. Man, the Romans were fed.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Sorry, I'll jacked up, but I got my l's before
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: my ex is into my seat. There's a scene there.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: I thought I thought that was forty two, and then
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: I was like, wait a minute, maybe not. So here's
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: the situation. Tonight, playoff game start. We get one college
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: football playoff game tonight, we get another one tomorrow, and
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: then it's the NFL from Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: have decided something in my head. I'm for anybody that's
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: not Oregon. That's where I'm at right now, all right,
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: cause here's why, Uh, I don't have this affinity towards Miami.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: But there's something about this Miami team that I like,
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: and I think it's just.
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: The way that they've dominated up.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Did you shut up? You've hated Carson Becks since day
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: number one?
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: I'm not, well, it's not that I've hated him and
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: you would have you know you did was talk bad
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: about him all week all year. I just didn't think
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: he was last year with the with the Georgia, I
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: just didn't think he was good. I didn't have some
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: personal animis towards him. It wasn't that I don't know
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: why Jeremy is riding down the hallway like he's a cowboy.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: I didn't have a personal thing towards him. I just
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: didn't think he was that good, that's all. And he's
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: he's proven me wrong at least a little bit. But
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you the one thing that can hold me
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: back from rooting for Miami is I don't know if
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: I can take Michael Irvin.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: After the U wins a national title.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: That's the one thing that I think could hold me
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: back because that's gonna be insufferable.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. They don't have to show him on camera,
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: then that would fix everything, Sister Jean.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: See, well, you guys know exactly what I felt.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, I think Sister Jean's a little bit more
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: palatable than a guy taking his belt off and whipping
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: the wall. What if Sister Jane was the I mean,
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: the hundred year old nun just sat there and high fived.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, she's completely harmless.
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: What if Sister Jean got up out of her wheelchair,
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: took her blanket off, and just started whipping a belt
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: against the logo of a team that was loyal or Chicago.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: No, but listen, man, here's the only team that hasn't
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: won at all. Or excuse me, the only team that
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: has won it all of the remaining four is Miami.
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and here's what I'm getting at.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: And they are a team. Now, maybe this is an
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: argument as to where they should expand it to sixteen.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: They didn't even play in the ACC.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: Title game, you know that, Yes, I mean Duke won it.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they got in because of their CFP rankings,
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: because of resume and all that kind of crap. But
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe you're looking at a team that could
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: make a run twelve and two, not even in their
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: title game, And look at them go.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: I guess what I'm saying is, you know, here's another aspect.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: You know who I'm talking about here, our buddy Dave.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: I think a good friend roots for his friends teams.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: He's a Miami guy, and so I'm like, all right,
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: my buddy'll be happy if this team wins.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Dave is a problem. And listen, I'm going to talk
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: to the audience. I want to talk to your face
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: right now. Okay, this guy Dave is a problem because
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: he well not, no, he's not really a problem. He
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: likes the Panthers Florida.
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: But he roots for teams here in town.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah he does. He does.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, But here's where I'm getting at. So Miami's one
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: of them. Uh Now, I will tell you this. I
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: am like all in on Ole miss. And it's less
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: because of what everybody else is talking about.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: It's less about the the.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin thing and him not being there anymore and
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: taking the coaches with him and stuff like that. It's
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: more about I just have an infatuation with Trinidad Chadlis
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: and I want to see that guy win a national
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: title because I think that'd be one of the coolest
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: things ever. A D two quarterback last year takes over
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: for an sec lights things up fair State.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, the other one comes up tomorrow, obviously it's Indiana
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: and uh Organ.
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: I don't want to see Organ win. Yeah, I'm just
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: out on Dan Lanning. I want and Signetti. I heard
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: you talking about Signette during the appetizer hour. I'll get
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: to that momentarily.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: But I think I'm also rooting for ole Miss, and
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: it's because, well, you know, I've sort of rooting for
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: the rebels for quite some time, and I want to
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: see the ultimate return of.
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: You know, I don't like when you're.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Jack Kelly, Kelly Faways Kelly, Jack Kelly.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Jed Kelly, Trinidad Chamis is always better than.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: Chad Kelly.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Hey, let me let me tell you something, Dudelways, Kelly,
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Jack Kelly. I I went back. I told you this
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: is years ago. Thank you, Nellie. Appreciate that. I watched
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: a lot of ole Miss football online. If you go
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: back and watch, you can go back and watch. So
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: when you're watching that much football, to look at the
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: way this quarterback throws the ball and how he plays
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: the game, I guess you start to build a little
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: affinity for them. I have absolutely zero ties to Oxford, Mississippi.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: I'm not even sure if kJ is a is an
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: old Miss fan, I have no idea. I gotta ask him.
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: Well, he could be a Dogs fan too.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: He could be. But if he's if he's going for
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: all Miss, then I'll go for all Miss. Mean whatever,
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: I just I guess I'd like to see them win,
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: mainly because their coach crapped on them and took off.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: And he can ask a question about that, because that's
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: everybody's been saying that. I mean, yes, leaving your team
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: in the middle of a championship run is sleazy.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Move well, hold on, but hang on.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: If you get an offer from a job that you want,
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: maybe it's the top job that you've ever desired, and
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: the only opportunity to leave was, then what is he
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: supposed to do?
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: What do you mean why leave Ole miss at all?
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: Maybe it's just dream job to be at LSU.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe maybe it's his dream job to
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: be at LSU. Are you hearing yourself? Lay Kiffin is
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: a mercenary, that's all. Oh God, if you put truth
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: serum in him, there's no way in heck that he
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: would say by drawl.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: LSU has more resources than pretty much everybody else in college.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: So what Okay, Look, obviously all miss has enough resources
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: to win.
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: All I'm saying is, and I agree whatever. All I'm
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: saying is, there's no time frame in which you could
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: have left and still coached.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: But you said you had a beef with my Signetti.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: Take and I'm telling you I like I like Kurt Signetti.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: Right now, I'm gonna be very, very cure, is what
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: my feelings are about Kurt Signetti next November, because I
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: think that's going to flip in a hurry. Right now,
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: I'm totally fine with him, but I think I'm gonna
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: get really tired of that stick that he's got, that
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: RBF walking up and down that sideline.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: Google me. But for right now, I'm good.
• 44:20
  Speaker 5: With him, And it'd be totally fine if they want.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Is there anybody that you like that you don't think
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: you're going to be sick of next November.
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: I'd be sick of you next November.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: I might be sick. I wouldn't blame you, wouldn't blame you.
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't blame you for that either. Yeah, it's it's
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: a short list. That's a short list. So Signetti is
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: just the guy that's going to be out face and.
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: So it's different though he's got you know exactly what
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, I know he's got the RBF. I know he does.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: He's got like that whole I win Google really funny,
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: really arrogant, really arrogant. But I will say this about Signetti.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: The Hoosiers are fourteen and zero. He has never ever
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: remotely been as a head coach in this situation before.
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: Nope, and do what.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: Do you mean?
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: Are you questioning whether he can handle it? Because I
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: would say the last couple of weeks showed he can.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: Let me finish. I'm watching him go through all of
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: this and the big you know, the win over Ohio
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: State in the Big Ten title game and everything he's done,
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: winning the Rose Bowl. He looks and acts like he's
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: done it a thousand times.
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: He does.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm dead serious. He's he's just like this.
• 45:41
