• 0:20
  Speaker 1: people checked in yesterday and they're like, bro, dude, I
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: only have until three am. I'm on my lunch break.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Are you like stuff like that? I'm like, sorry, I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: was talking about whatever I was talking about. I don't
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: even know. So yeah, I'll get to you. If you're
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: on hold. Coop gets it to me, I get you
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: on right. That's the way the process works. So I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: love the way the NFL does it with the schedule
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: being released because they do it in bits and pieces
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: and just sort of you know, wet the whistle, just
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: give a little taste, little strip tease, and I just
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: you know, because we're ball of halics over here. I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: love when they you just slowly unveil certain things. Give
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: me just the key match up here, another key match
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: up there, and let me react to it and get
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: excited for the upcoming season. Instead of just like here
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: you go, here's everything on Thursday, and it's just like,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: holy it's overbearing. It's everybody's schedule at once. I like
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the little strip teas, little slight reveals throughout the week.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: So we have a couple of games that we know
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of as of right now. So the first strip teas,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that would be the Sunday night game to begin the season.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: This will be September thirteenth. It'll be the Cowboys at
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the Giants as the first strip teas. Oh yeah, that's right,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that's very nice. Like it. So they show a little
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: they show like a little shoulder right there, like, oh,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: here's a Sunday night game Cowboys Giants. Now, this will
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: mark the eighth time since twenty twelve that the Cowboys
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and Giants will face each other in their season opener,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and so the matchup has been met with a collective boom.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: We don't what we went Cowboys Giants again. That's what
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying. I'm totally fine with this.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I am absolutely fine with this. I went to a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Cowboys Giants game at MetLife a long time ago. It
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: was week one started off the season, and they it
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: was kind of cool they gave us. Oh man, I'm
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: trying to think of the year, but it was probably
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: after the Giants won it in twenty eleven. It was
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: probably in twenty twelve because they gave it was like
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a scarf. They gave you like a It was their
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: fourth Super Bowl and they just gave you this like
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: giant scarf, like here you go, here you go, season opener.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Check it out. We've won four super Bowls. It's very
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: popular in soccer, the little scarves. That's cool. And I
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: enjoyed the game. It was fun. It's fun to go.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I have no problem with Cowboys Giants, not just because
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I went to a game one time, but just look
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: at it. It's John Harbaugh's Giants' debut. Like that might
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: not run and make you rush to the TV set
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: just for that, but it's another storyline in the game.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And then it's mostly about the players on the field.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: You get Dak you get CD Lamb back in action.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Can the Cowboys do anything this year? You get Jackson Dark,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Cam Skataboo, Molik Neighbors, all of them returned from the injury,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and you get some rookie debuts. You get Caleb Downs
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: safety with the Cowboys might play a little slot right.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: You get Rvel Reese with the Giants top five pick.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: They were teammates at Ohio State. You get to see
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: their debuts. This is not a bad game at all.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I've heard some people like, give me anything but Cowboys Giants,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: like it's just the worst of the worst. Give me gosh,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: give me Arizona. They give me the Cardinals against the Browns,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that'd be better. It's like, what do we do? That's fine.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with that matchup. I have no issue with that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: In New York City Sunday night football, you're not watching that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You're busy, Okay, I'm watching it from beginning to end.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I'm excited for it. Maybe I'm just a sick oh,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We also have other games that have
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: been unveiled right here, the next strip tease. How about
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: we've got a Thanksgiving matchup. How about it's the Cowboys
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: once again, but they always play on Thanksgiving. They will
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: be hosting the Eagles, little divisional matchup. Eagles Cowboys Thanksgiving Day.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Totally fine with this. Last time they played on Thanksgiving
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: was twenty fourteen, so it's been a little while and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: it was crazy the numbers that they did last year
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving, the Cowboys hosted the Chiefs and beat them.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: They beat the Chiefs rough season for KC Man. That
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: was another game where rush Rice key moment in the game.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I forget exact scenario, but the Chiefs. I think they
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: were down seven points. This is a big you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: down in distance. Chiefs were maybe on the move. I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: can't remember if it was third or fourth down. I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: think it was third down and passed right over the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: middle right to Rashie Rice drop like this. Rashie Rice
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: is a really good wide receiver man, but way too
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: many mental lapses, way too many mental mistakes. I we'll
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: see if he can put it together this year. But
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the whole point is Chiefs Cowboys. Last year on Thanksgiving,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it averaged fifty seven point two million viewers on CBS.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: It was the most watched regular season game in league history.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Fifty seven million people watching that game. Chiefs Cowboys Thanksgiving
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: last year. So Eagles Cowboys have their work cutout. But
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I mean goodness, it's not like the NFL is going
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to be trying poor. If we got it like a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: measly forty million or what a forty five million watches
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to be down, millions and millions of viewers. They're still
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: printing money left and right. Okay, we got one more game,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: one more little strip teas here from the NFL. How
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: about baby say that again? Loreno, what did you say?
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Take it off? Baby?
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: All right? What do you think? What do you think?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: This game is? Week two? Are we showing like a
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: little left elbow here? Are we a little more daring
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: than this?
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: All right, we got to go slow here with the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: NFL schedule release. Week two Thursday Night game the Bills.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: They will open up their brand new stadium, and they
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: put a lot of work into this thing. They put
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of thought into it where it really cuts
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: down on the wind. Right that they designed the stadium
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a certain way where it's keeping a lot of the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: wind away from the football field. It gets very windy
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: over there in Buffalo, right, so they designed with that
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: in mind. So this brand new, state of the art
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Bill Stadium. They will be there in week two on
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football hosting the Detroit Lions. That is a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: great matchup Lions Bills Week two Thursday Night Football. Let's
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: freaking go over it. We just had Week one. We
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: had the Wednesday game we had. I don't know if
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: it's Thursday or Friday. I don't know which. I don't
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: know that part, but there's a game, forgive me. I
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: think it's Thursday night. So we've got the Wednesday night
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: opener right and we don't know who Seattle will be
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: facing just yet. We don't know that yet, but we'll
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: have the Wednesday night opener. I believe we will have
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: a Thursday game right after that because it's I want
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: to say in Australia, and that's the weird body clock game.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: It will actually be Friday morning in Australia when they're
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: playing that game, and we'll see it on Thursday night.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: So after the Wednesday night season opener, Seattle hosting whoever
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: they host, then we get the international game I think
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: that's Niners Rams at ten thirty five local time in
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Australia in the morning. Pretty weird. We get all the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Sunday games, we get the Sunday night game, we get
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the Monday night after a full week and a ball
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: in week one, we get Thursday night. Lions Bills Totally
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: fired up for that, man, I think the Lions are
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: going to have a great season. I really do. I
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: think that the Lions went from a gauntlet of a
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: schedule last year, so difficult, man, and now they've got
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a last place schedule. That was a last place nine
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and eight team. Last season they went nine to eight
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and it was just like the wheels are off the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: tracks for the Lions. You know, it was just it
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: was a brutal schedule. It was a tough season. But
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: now you get a last place schedule. I'm just looking
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: at what the Lions have in front of them. Here
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you go, So the Lions, they get the NFC South,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: which is bad top to bottom. They get the AFC East,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: which is bad top to bottom. Toughest team is I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: would say the Bills this season. I think the Patriots
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: gonna take a step back their season. Their schedule gets tougher.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Vrabel is, you know, knocking boots with pregnant ladies. Just
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's in the cards for the Patriots
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: to have even close to the season they had last season.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: So I like the Lions are playing the AFC East,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins sock, the Jets are a disgrace. Right, that's
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: a favorable path right there, and then they get last place.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: You get the Giants. You're hosting the Giants and the Titans,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you're at the Arizona Cardinals. That is a really favorable schedule.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I think the Lions are I think they're gonna be
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a really good team. I think they're gonna have a resurgence.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I've already bet them. I like over ten and a
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: half wins for the Lions and intrude Degenerate mode one
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: of my bets. I don't do parlays very often, very rare,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: but I did love of Jalen Duran, who, by the way,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: was on a milk carton on Sunday night. I'm sorry,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Monday night again. Game four, Jalen Duran a complete no show.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: The guy had two rebounds. He's an all star. He's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a double double gay. He's like a twenty to ten guy,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: all star. He's not doing anything. Two rebounds. Two rebounds
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: for Dalen Duran. But anyway, I had Jalen Duran in
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: one of the games against the Magic under twenty three
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and a half points and rebounds, so that leg of
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the parlay hit. Now I just have to wait about
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: eight months to see if the Lions can get over
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: ten and a half wins. Seems to make a ton
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: of sense, doesn't it. So I have the Lions by
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: themselves over ten and a half wins, and I have
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: that goofy parlay with them over ten and a half wins.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: So I need the Lions and I like him, I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: like him to get to at least eleven wins. I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: think they could. I think they could do even better
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: than that. Their division is very tough. We know that.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: What's their record in division? If you get to four
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and two with the rest of their schedule, if they
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: can get to four and two in their division, they're
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: winning eleven games. They are winning seven of the remaining games.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I just don't think any chance that they don't. You
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: would have eleven more games. You have to go seven
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and four. Right against Saints Tampa. This is their home
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: schedule outside of the division games, Saints Tampa, Patriots, Jets, Giants, Titans,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: very favorable on the road, at Atlanta, at Carolina, at
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the Bills, at the Dolphins, at the Cardinals. That's more
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: than doable for the Lions. I think they're gonna have
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: a resurgence, but I do love these early season games.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: That's a good litmus test for the Lions. On the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: road at the Bills brand new stadium. We know the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Bills fans. Bill's Mafia is one of the best fan
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: bases in all of sports, not just football. They are
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: die hards. They'll become completely geeked out of their mind
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: jumping through tables getting ready for the new stadium. And
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: that's going to be a madhouse over there. So if
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the Lions can go on the road get a win
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: against the Bills, that would that'd be a pretty nice,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: pretty nice accomplishment from them. But good litmus test early
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: on for the Lions. Very much excited for that game.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: How long do we have to wait for the season
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to begin? What are we talking about here? Like or
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: we may June July August. I'm using a lot of
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: fingers over here. Goodness, we got you know, three plus months. Boys,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: have the rest of May. We got the rest of May,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: June July August one week. So we got them almost
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: four months roughly, pretty close. All right, We'll get there.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: We'll get there. We always do. We'll get there slowly
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: but surely. Okay, last thing here, with the schedule being
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: released slowly but surely so with the Sunday night game
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: being announced, Giants they're hosting the Cowboys. So we know
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: that the the the the Seahawks, they're the defending champs,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: so they're gonna start off the whole season on Wednesday,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: September ninth. Okay, so now we know that they will
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: not be hosting neither the Cowboys or the Giants. Right,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: So you take a couple of teams off of the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: potential list of home games for Seattle to start off
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the whole season. So we've got a couple of choices
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: over here. Would you like to see Seattle face the Bears,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals, the Chiefs, the Chargers or the Patriots? What
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: do you think right there? Do you have any preferences?
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I think we can eliminate a couple of these. So
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: we also eliminated the forty nine Ers and the Rams
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: because those teams will be playing the very next night.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: They'll be playing I think in Australia. I think that's
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the international game in Australia. So no Rams, no Niners,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: no Cowboys, no Giants. We can get the Arizona Cardinals
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: off the list. No one would People would freak out
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: if they're like, hey, and the defending champions Seattle Seahawks
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: will host to start off the entire season the Arizona Cardinals,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: and everyone's like, what your trunk? That can't be the matchup.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: NFL's like, but Jeremiah Love, I mean, come on, number
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: three overall, pick no nothing. It's not gonna be the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. It's between the Chiefs, Chargers, Bears, Patriots. If
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: you ranked those four, what would it look like from
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: top to worst? And there's no bad matchup, I would
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: say my top matchup, I'd like to see the Bears.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see the Bears at the Seahawks. Caleb Williams.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I thought he took a big step forward last season.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I think he can take another big step forward this season.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Bears were making a nice little playoff run. They gave
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the Rams all they could handle in the divisional round,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: So you know, I think that I think that Bears
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Seahawks start off the season is a great way to
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: do it. I would say next in line, I would
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: go Chiefs. I'd say Chiefs at the Seahawks. Mahomes coming
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: back from the ACL tear, he will be ready week one,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: so there would be some added intrigue. Can the Chiefs
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: rebound from an awful season? I would say Chargers next,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: that Patriots would be the least one that I would
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: want to see outside of the Cardinals. Cardinals would be
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: like the last one. I'd say second from last would
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: be the Patriots, just because I don't know, man, the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: whole vable thing. I'm just like, all right, dude, I'm
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: kind of I'm kind of over this right now, really,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: but you know, I would put that as the last
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: of the four that I want to see. But guess what,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I'll watch whatever they throw at me from beginning to end,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and that'll be that I won't go kicking and screaming
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: into the night at all. Feel free to talk ball.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Any NFL thoughts you got, hoops, any nonsports thoughts you got,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: feel free to throw them our way. We're open for
• 16:01

  Speaker 6: I'm looking up another Vegas trip right now just because
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: of those hotel prices.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: We were just talking about, Yeah.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Hey man, make it happen. We just heard a Cavino
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and Rich promo. They were talking about Vegas hotels and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: making comparisons and stuff like that, and we're talking about
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the hotels that you hated the most while you're out there.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: So we were having an off air conversation about that.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: But when they were like, what, what's a hotel that
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: kind of sucks? And I was like, Circus, Circus, it's
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: gotta be. They gotta be on the line.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: I've never stayed at Circus, though, so that's hard to say.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I haven't either. I haven't either, but I've walked through
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: it a million times.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I don't even think i've physically been inside of that.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: I have not the like the dilapidated ceilings on the outside,
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: just like the rooftop. I'm just like, it doesn't look
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: cute to me, no, compared to the ones that are
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: sparkling and full of sequins.
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: They have needle repositories in the bathroom. I'm sorry, what, Yeah,
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: needle repositories. Yeah, like it's a good place to shoot up,
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: like like you can like throw away used.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so when you're done, if you can toss your needles,
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: that's really nice.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Actually, it's nice.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Is family friendly right there?
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Say for kids?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: We would when I was with You'll say, we would
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: park at Circus Circus, walk through Circus Circus to go
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: play the electronic ponies at Resorts World. That's how we
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: would get down. We're crazy like that. By the way,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: it's her birthday. I know she's not listening, but shout
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: out to her.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: Happy birthday, You'll say, Yeah, I was just looking at
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: the photos from Las Vegas trip because I was trying
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: to find one from the Excaliburs day and yeah, it
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: was all of us around the table.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: My friend Laarn was there too. What a good time?
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and shout out to slug man hooking it up,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: but best slug's the best. Give me that pie, Oh,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: the chocolate cream pie. I was just talking about it today, Loraina.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: It's the best desert I've ever had in my entire life.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Not even close. Nothing is even halfway close to that.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: I wonder how much a full pie would be. I
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: have no idea, Like, I feel like you should just
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: buy one next time. He's staying in Vegas for a week,
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: take a whole pie home and have a slice every day.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I would not be opposed to that at all. Yeah,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I would totally be up for that. It is. It's amazing.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: It's the best.
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: It really.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like a it's not like cake. It's
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: kind of like a moose pie ish thing. I don't
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: know what it is, but it's fantastic. It's glorious, outstanding,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: off the charts. All right, let's go out to the phones.
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: Here.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: The militia wants to check in. So I told you,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: little less words from me, a little more words from you.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: We'll get you on. I'll work in my thoughts as
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: we go along as well. Let me go to Mike.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: He's over in Phoenix. Has a thought about these Arizona Cardinals. Curiously,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: what's on his mind?
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: Mike peeps?
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: So that pie would cost thirteen ninety nine at your
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: local Safeway and it would be delicious frozen. But that's
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: not why I'm calling.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I totally Mike, You're wrong. You're wrong, dude. You haven't
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: had Yeah. I guarantee you have not gone to Bevets
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: in Vegas and had their chocolate cream pie. There's no
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: way you would have that take if you had had it.
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: You're right, You're right. I'm talking about the thirteen ninety
• 21:19
  Speaker 9: nine frozen pie in the local safeway. But I have
• 21:24
  Speaker 9: something to add tonight, and that's this, Brian, my vociferous,
• 21:28
  Speaker 9: talented brother, do not look down on a possible Cardinals
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: Seattle matchup because I tell you that it would be
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: the battle of the Notre Dame running backs Sarama, right,
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: the Cardinals and uh.
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's the price, yeah yeah, yeah, sure between christ
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: and Love and then of course for the Cardinals because
• 21:53
  Speaker 10: of the quarterback situation, you got Carson Beck from Miami,
• 21:57
  Speaker 10: who knows if he's look piece would start.
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: But there would be a natural draw in that matchup
• 22:05
  Speaker 9: between the Cardinals and Seattle, who are of course enemies,
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: so to say, in the NFC West. So I just
• 22:15
  Speaker 9: wanted to talk two cents into the kitty and say
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: I'd love and we'll be watching when that matchup does occur.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: And calling your shot, Mike, is this is happening in
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: your opinion? There's no way it.
• 22:31
  Speaker 11: Is, because both those teams, both the Cardinals in Seattle,
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: need those running backs quickly, and I do believe both
• 22:41
  Speaker 11: of them will start and I do believe.
• 22:43
  Speaker 9: That such a matchup with at least be interesting on
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: that level.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: All right, Michael, I appreciate you. Check it in man,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: you definitely you have a homework assignment. You've got to
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: have the chocolate cream pie at Bavetts. Is that where's
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: that at? Is that park? M coop? It's park? MGM,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: isn't it? Yes? I make yeah, gotta do it, Man,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: have to do it. Yes, report back to us, Mike, Absolutely, Man,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: we'll do We'll do it tremendous. Now, as far as
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Arizona Seattle week one to start off the entire season,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: there is zero chance. There's no chance that apps and listen,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I like the sales pitch. I do like it. So
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: you had two Notre Dame running backs both go in
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the first round. You had the number three overall pick,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love, he goes to the Arizona Cardinals. You had
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Jadarian Price, number thirty two overall, go to the Seattle Seahawks.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: So it's the top two running backs in this draft
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: class and both running backs go in the first round.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: So there are a lot of drafts where you know,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: the top two running backs do not go one two
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: in the first round. And there are a lot of
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: drafts where you know two running backs from the same
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: universe don't go in the first round. So there was
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: some history set. You have to go all the way
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: back to I think it was Arkansas and what Darren
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: McFadden Felix Jones. They were both first round picks. So
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: it has happened before, but it was like the first
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: time in a long time, and in some instances it
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: was the first time ever in other instances. But that's
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: a great storyline for an NFC West matchup, you know,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: that's a great storyline for like a divisional game. For
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the hardcore Seahawks fans, hardcore Cardinal fans. That's not a
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: great national matchup. The guy in New Jersey probably doesn't
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: care too much about the Arizona Cardinals who went three
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: to fourteen the previous season. You know, that's just not
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: a sexy matchup at all. Is it sexier Cardinals Seahawks
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: than Chief Seahawks then Bear Seahawks. No, it's not like
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the NFL is just not gonna do that, colle that
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: would be a college football first week matchup? You know
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: where it's it's Villanova taking on you know, north to
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: North Dakota, state of the I don't know the Eastern hemisphere.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: And it's like, who's plays on my TV right now?
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: College football is back? You should be excited. This should
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: be a big matchup. And it's these random matchups. Man,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: that would be if college football were in charge of
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the first NFL game of the season, they would make
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: it Arizona, the Arizona Cardinals against the Seahawks. But the
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: NFL is in charge of the NFL schedule, and there's
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: no chance it's gonna be Arizona Cardinals against the Seahawks,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Just none. Loraina, Should I put my eyebrows in my
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: head on the line again?
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Please please stop putting your hair on the line.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: You never know if it's gonna grow back the same
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: every time you shave your eyebrows, it's never a good idea.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Hey, my eyebrow grew back just fine, you know, but
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: there was there was serious intrigue. It was like is
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: it gonna grow back? Is it gonna you never know?
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: And I shaved it Lorraina, I you know with no
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: no like you know, barbasol, no nothing. This is Tony Bruno.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: This is proof in Portland. I had to shave off
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: my left eyebrow. Listen to Tony Bruno doing play by play.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: It's not completely gone, it's mostly gone. He's gonna have
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: to make a second pass now as they do live
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: play by play of Brian No shaving off his eyebrow
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: on live television on NBC Sports out there in Portland,
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: and he keeps going, can you see.
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: What you're doing?
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: I can.
• 26:30
  Speaker 12: I can see myself a little bit over here. I'm
• 26:32
  Speaker 12: trying to do the best I can. It might be
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: a little jagging. I'm just trying not to get.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Into the right eyebrow territory right now.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: No, it's pretty actually you can still see it. So
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: you're gonna have to get the You're gonna have to.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Get the barbasol and the straight Razor. Yeah, make it work.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: You just oh yeah, yeah that was Oh man, I
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: screwed that up. Yeah. So as Tony Bruno doing the
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: live play by play, excellent job by him. He should be.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Right, You guys weren't in the same room, right.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: No, yeah he was. I would guess he was somewhere
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: back in Philly, but he was. Yeah, he was just
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: joining us. Yeah.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: Well my first radio gig, it was up in Oregon,
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: and you know, you have your civil civil war between
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: the Ducks and the beeB Oh yeah, yeah, and my
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: co hosts, the main hosts are diehard Ducks fans, right,
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: and the Ducks had won every civil war for like
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: seven years straight. And I was like, nah, I think
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: the Beavers are going to take it this year. And
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: I don't do sports, you know me, I wasn't a
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: sports girl. And anyways, He's like, nah, if the Ducks lose,
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: I'll shave off my eyebrows. No, you can shave off
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: my eyebrows.
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: Ah.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: So yeah, that was the first time the Beavers had
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: won in seven years, and so I got to shave
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: his eyebrows off on live radio. So that's also super yeah,
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: both of them. Wow, I think I have a photo
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: in my phone. I'm gonna go find it for you
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: because I know I have it.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Look at you calling your shot Beafs taken down the Ducks.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: That's a big upset, right The Ducks normally put it
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: on pretty good.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't like how you set it up.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Like, you know, me not really much of a sports gal.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Look at the strides you've made since then.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: It's been a long journey. Yeah, come a long way.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Look at that. We were just guessing. What were we
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: guessing the other night, Coop? And she was right in
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: the ballpark it was. It wasn't passer rating, it was
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Oh the amount of touchdown the most touchdown throws Kyler
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Murray is thrown in a single seat. Oh yeah, you
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: were right there, see making strides. Hollerin James is with us.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Holler and James, what's going on? You're on Fox Sports Radio.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: I think he hung up like an idiot.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: What I don't know.
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: Somebody else is calling right now. Maybe it's him calling back.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: Hold on, Okay, he does.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Holler and James, I played the wrong one. Here's me
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: bicking off. That sounds terrible. Using a bic to shave
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: my eyebrow here, Lorena, this is what I was doing
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty. You have the shaving. I don't.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: We're just we don't have time for that. We're just
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: gonna I don't do a dry now, you got it.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: You got a moist in it. Man, that's dangerous.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Do not shave it without putting any kind of lubricant
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: on there.
• 29:10
  Speaker 12: No, Now, you know what, we're hardcore, and someone in
• 29:13
  Speaker 12: the Philly area can appreciate hardcore.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: We don't have Yes Riser over here. Yeah, this is hard.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: He's doing it. He's shaving it dry. I do not
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: recommend this ever. You gotta have a little moisture on there.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: But Brian know he's doing it. He's passing over and
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: over and over. He's got a beautiful shirt on and
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: it's probably all dripping down underneath his shirt. Why didn't
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: you just put on an apron or something. This way,
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: you don't have hair going down your neck. There's nothing irritating,
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I look at it like this. I deserve to be punished,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: you know, Tony. So I'm not trying to make it
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: pleasant on myself. Yeah, it grew back fine. You know,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: my left eyebrows in great working order. Right now.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: It's a nice eyebrow.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate it was that holler and James
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Coop or are we no, we're still waiting for him?
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: It was not.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: It was not. Hmm okay, too bad. There's I'm waiting
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: for someone I like making Mike the Leprechaun. Wait, you know, oh,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Harold is in North Hollywood. Let's talk some Lakers over
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: here as they get swept by the OKC thunder. Harold,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: you're on Fox Sports Radio. What's on your mind?
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah? All right, guys, what do you think the Lakers
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: ought to do? Are they going to re sign Reeves?
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: Are they going to bring back Lebron James? I think
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: the first thing they ought to do is fire Rob Polenka,
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: get rid of all at Genie Buss people who are
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: in the front office there, because boy, I mean, I
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: don't think Oklahoma City played their best, but boy, they
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: sure took care of the Lakers. What do you think
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: they should do? Because there's a lot of speculations, but
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: you know, I'm a little bit tired of Lebron James
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: or any ish Field. Maybe at a just let him
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: go to Cleveland. And I don't know if he should resign.
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: There's a lot of issues with the Lakers. They got
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: to get younger, and the problem is they don't got
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: any draft picks. Yeah, twenty thirty. So I'll just get
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: off the line and let you guys answer the questions.
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: Thanks Fellas, Yeah.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: You got it, Harold. Honestly, there's nothing great that they
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: can do that's gonna make a whole, huge difference. That's
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the bottom line is it's tough. If you you got
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: to get Luca back healthy, that's gonna make the biggest difference.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I think Lebron is gone. My best guess is he's
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: gone because there's a lot of smoke, and I would
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: expect there to be some fire as well. Where you've
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: got Genie Buss her comments from earlier in the season
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: where she's basically talking about how high maintenance Lebron is
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: and I'm tired of this and Lebron here's Lebron has
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the ultimate of rabbit ears, you know, he hears all
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: of these things. And if Genie Buss is like, oh
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: my gosh, I don't know about this, and that I
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: don't I know, Lebron isn't taking kindly to that. And
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: then Rich Paul has had some critical things to say
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: about the Lakers organization. It just seems like Lebron is
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: going to go elsewhere. Maybe he does go to Cleveland.
• 32:13
  Speaker 13: I don't know, Well are those aren't those conflicting answers then,
• 32:18
  Speaker 13: because you know you said that there's not a lot
• 32:20
  Speaker 13: that the Lakers can do, But if Lebron goes, that's
• 32:23
  Speaker 13: like what fifty plus million dollars that they would have
• 32:28
  Speaker 13: to spend on somebody else?
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but who is that somebody else?
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: Right?
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: And you've got it's weird with the NBA too, where
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: you've got these exceptions. You've got a okay, you've got
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: a max contract, You've got you know, your mid level exception,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: You've got all this stuff. So it's it's it's weird
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: how it's all structured. You know that part of it
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: is weird. You could right, like you could it's La.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: It's the La Lakers. You might be able to woo
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: a free agent. The interesting thing is Austin Reeves. What
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: do you do with him? Because Austin Reeves is a
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: good player. It was a terrible Game four. It's like
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: a low note. It was such a mixed bag. But
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: if you watch the game from beginning to end, did
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: you walk away like, wow, man, Austin Reeves hit some
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: really tough shots, some really good buckets in that game,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: or did you walk away from the game going Austin
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Reeves was drunk passing the basketball, eight turnovers, he hit
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: a guy in the front row, made his beer spill
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: a over him. It's just drenched as one of his
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: legs is drenched, you know, you see it on his pants.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: And what does he do?
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: You're probably walking away saying the latter. So I like
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: Austin Reeves. It's now two playoffs in a row that
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: he's been kind of garbage.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: But and I don't have statistics to back this up.
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: I'm just going based off of, you know, watching the
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: Lakers all season long. I feel like Austin Reeves plays
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: great with Luca.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah he does.
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: And the two playoffs that Austin Reeves has underperformed and
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: looked like he doesn't deserve the max contract that they're
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: talking about him getting has been without Luca.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: M hm.
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: So I just you know, you know, maybe Austin Reeves
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: is a great player to have, but he's not the
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: guy that's gotta you know, run the offense right.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Well, No, that's exactly right because it goes back to
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: what stan van Gundy was saying when the series was
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: in okay See. I can't remember. I think it was
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: game two. It was either game one or game two.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: But to what you're saying, Coop, stan van Gundy was like, look,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: they don't have Luka Doncic, they don't have their point guard,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: so they got to generate offense in different ways. It's
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of movement, it's a ton of passing, and
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of turnovers. And that's what
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: plagued the Lakers in that series against ok See. They're
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: turning the ball over at a staggering rate. Okay See
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: is so great with those live ball turnovers converting them
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: into points. And yeah, but long story short, if Luca
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: is healthy, Austin Reeves is not handling the ball, he's
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: not running points at times, you know, and making hideous
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: decisions and horrible passes. If you look at Game two,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: okay See had twenty seven points off of twenty Laker turnovers.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Game three, okay See had thirty points off of seventeen
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Laker turnovers. Just way too many turnovers. So if Luca
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: is out, there and he's, you know, dominating the ball.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: You don't have Austin Reeves having to make all these
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: passes and thus all these turnovers occur, and yeah, he'd
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: be in his more natural position. That would help a
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: ton like this idea, the Rick Flair, Like, just get
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: rid of Luca Man. He didn't take a cortizone shot
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: and play with a busted hamstring. It's just it's dumb.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: When Luka Dancic comes back and he was in much
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: better shape throughout the season, it's gonna make a big
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: difference for the Lakers. I just I hate the idea
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: of paying Austin Reeves a ton of money, and that's
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: what you're gonna have to pay him to re sign him.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Maybe they can do something in free agency, but I
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think that there is a blockbuster
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: deal to be made that would put the Lakers in contention,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: like true contention. But listen, Harold is right, Lakers got
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: to get a lot younger, and we'll see if they
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: can start that Process's gonna be hard with a complete
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: lack of draft capital, very tough to do that, all right.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the militia coming up. Also, the teams
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: are not to be trusted. We'll do that at the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: top of the hour as well. Hang with us. Lots

• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Mitchell Only four Measley points in the first half, and
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: you're like, what's this guy doing? Man, He's not doing anything.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: He went over five from the field, hardly scored it all.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Thirty nine points in the second half alone, Boom tied
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: a NBA playoff record for the highest scoring half. He
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: tied Eric Sleepy Foy Floyd. That's right, Sleepy Floyd. He
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: scored thirty nine points in the second half. Way back
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: in eighty seven, his Warriors beat the Lakers. Kevin Durant
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: and Charles Barkley. They each scored thirty eight points in
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: a single half. Charles Barkley did that in ninety four,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: his Sons beat the Warriors, and Kevin Durant did that.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Back in twenty nineteen and his Warriors lost to the
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Houston Rockets. KD scored forty six points, Barkley fifty six points,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Sleepy Floyd fifty one points. Spider on Monday Night, he
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: dropped forty three points, but thirty nine points in one
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: half greatly made up for a lackluster first half. He
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: was sensational in the second half, he was unbelievable, all
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: right right around the corner. These teams, they are not repeat,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: not to be trusted at all going forward
