• 0:17
  Speaker 1: What a badass move by Tiger Woods.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Also, I don't know, was it a badass move Tiger Woods?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: The bodycam footage came out from when he was he
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: got in the accident.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: The police came to the scene of.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: The accident, Tiger for some reason was tucked away in the.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Bushes behind his rage rover.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: All of it was weird. I feel bad for Tiger.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: We all feel bad for Tiger. We want Tiger to
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: get healthy. But to come walking out of the bushes,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: hanging up the phone and telling the cops, hey, sorry,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I was on the phone with the president.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to do with that.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Is he This one accident has just had so many
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: It's just been so many memes like one after the other.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: It's just and then you've got the talking to the president.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Think he was so far away from the officer right.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this is I don't enough to me,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: it's a little bit condescending. But when somebody says to somebody,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: say again like that, any crap out of me? Just
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: say what huh right, beat that, but say again, oh,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I was on the phone with the president.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh, come on, bro, Like I didn't think
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: this is who Tiger Woods was.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Right, So Tiger Woods is dating Don Junior's ex wife.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: So do you think this was a scheduled call with
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: the president or do you think this was a hey,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I might need a pardon coming up kind of soon?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: So you think he got into an accident, rolled over
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: and realized, oh my god, I have my scheduled call
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: with President Trump right now.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I can't miss it. I never missed it. I don't
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: care if I get in an accident. I have to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: be on this call.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Is that what you're suggesting he forgot that he took
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: his meds and got into a car. But no, no,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: his scheduled meeting with the president.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: I got to get on that thing.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Or the alternative of hey, I know I'm about to
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: get in a lot of trouble.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: Who could bail me out of this?
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: The precess, I think what you're doing in that spot
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: is alerting the officers. Hey, I'm friends with the fucking
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: president of the United States of America. You are not
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: going to arrest me today.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I have a Master's to play in next week.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Is the president card better than the I'm Tiger Woods card.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I'm not certain the president doesn't have pardon powers over
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: a traffic violation, but he thinks does not happen.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I think it was just a measure of Hey, I've
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: got friends in high places. But we all assumed you
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: had friends in high places. Dude, you're Tiger Woods.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: It does beg the question, though, if you're in a
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: gam and the cops are, like, you know, they're pursuing you,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: would it be more impressive for you to be hanging
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: up the phone with Tiger Woods or President Trump?
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: How about that? I think Tiger Woods is probably harder
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: to get on the phone.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: I think the move would have been, man, always carry
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: around your Presidential Medal of Freedom in the car where
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: they ask you for your ID, you're just like, no,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I'm good, I've got this, and it's just like, I
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: don't really know. It's just like having the key to
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: the city. I don't know what that thing does, but
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: you know what, you're good.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Here's what it says, go ahead, I dare you. It's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: a symbol for that.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, Tyler so when that video came out, my favorite
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: part of that video very serious situation. Luckily nobody got
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: hurt in this situation, so people are able to talk
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: about it more lightly. When the police officer asked, is
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: there anything you need from your truck, and Tiger just
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: goes my sticks.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And those extra pills.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Did I hear this from somebody or did somebody just
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: suggest that Tiger if it would have been like, maybe
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: this gets him off, because it would have proven that
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: he was really sharp at the time.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: If he would have just said, man, this is going
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: to really ruin the tour, the.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Same thing that justin Timberlake said, No, no, I meant
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: the PGA Tour.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I'm Tiger Witz.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, hey, officer, are you gonna watch the Masters next week?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I told you this right, you're hoping he's a big golfan,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: which he wasn't clearly, or she wasn't, because Tiger is
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: not going to be playing at Augusta and is off
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: in some unknown lands rehab because he can't do it here.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it looked at the officer says, you into Azaleas.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Wait if you.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Arrest me now, I will not be playing at Augusta.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm going to play well when I
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: go there, but I'll be there and I'm going to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: give it my all, and I probably won't make the cuts.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: But there's a chance, is he.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: The best part of a justin Timberlake video that came
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: out was when they were arresting him. He's looking over
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: the report and he gets to where it says race
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: and he goes white and everybody looks back at him.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: He goes, I'm just kidding, entertaining.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Whatever you call that traffic violation of all time?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Was this in the Hamptons?
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: Is that I forget where it was right.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Because all of a sudden, Timberlake stopped showing up the
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Lake tal Me.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: He was a fixture there.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: They came out with the like the director's cut to
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: his uh to him getting pulled it over as hilarious.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Can I make a shameful admission.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: If I was an officer and I had to rush
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: out to that scene to Tiger Woods the scene of
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the accident, and I realized it was Tiger Woods, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I'm a big golf fan, but I'm also a police officer,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I would have let him off, like I would have
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: looked at the calendar and realized, oh man, we're a
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: week out from Augusta.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Here Tiger wants to give it a run. Tiger, We're good.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: See it's like, yes, I can check this out.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: Turns off his body, Kim. Nobody's gonna know what happened here.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, you need anything, right forget about your sticks anything else.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, whatever you need, I'm here for you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: You need to call the president for you.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: No, you got that, all right.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I am the cop the Tiger needed.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Oh man, so unlucky.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Of him, but I know I am told here that
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Taylor got the Italian soccer coach fired.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Is he?
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I saw the headline today. Well it's funny because I
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: have an uncle named Hanado. We call him Hanado, right,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: g E n A r oo. I believe I believe
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Taylor pronounced it right. I believe you get the G
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: in there right. It's Janado in Italian. So now I
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: feel like I've been ever since you said that, I've
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: been thinking that I've been calling my uncle by the
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: wrong and.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: Pronounce his entire life.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: But when I saw the headline, I was just like, man,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: that is an influential podcaster.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Right there, Taylor.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Because the very next day, boom, and I think, what
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: did the G stand for? It stand for to get
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: him out of here?
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Get him out of here?
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, what's your what's your on air name by the way,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: when you're doing a talk show host in Italy?
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: It was it was Mike Franchise. That's a food right, Yes, chick,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Mike francessa.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Yes, we got there.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Yes. How do you feel about getting the soccer coach fired?
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I I hate to see somebody
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: lose their job, but when you're at a job like
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Italy soccer, you can't fail to qualify for third third
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: straight World Cup. This is essentially the uh the Mark
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: de Rosa of the World Cup coaching where was like
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: this guy, we we did not have to fire him.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: He was going to step down because of how embarrassing
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: the losses.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: It was such a perfect opportunity, with all the momentum
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: from Italian baseball, to have another world international moment, get
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: yourself into the World Cup, come back to the States
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: and maybe you know, do some things with the soccer team.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: But nah, G stands for gun, get out of here, sorry,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: take gone.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I'm certain Mike FRANCHISEI thinks that he should be the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: replacement for the Italian soccer coach, because you.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Know, Francessa once said that he could manage the Mets.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: So when the World Cup comes this summer, there's going
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: to be a lot of people in northern New Jersey
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: that are shocked to find out that Italy didn't make
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: it to.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: The World Cup.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Be a lot of people in Italian Why can't I
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: get the Italian World Cup kit?
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Oh no, they who were a fucking staple in this thing.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Every thirty years, and we can it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: You have American born Italians in Northern Jersey, which is
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the perfect spot tailor.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: You're right where they're.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: All just going to be like, what do you mean
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: fucking Italy to make it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: That news. We'll get to them in a couple of
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: months though, exactly.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: By the way, let me know who wins the World Cup.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I honestly have zero interest in it so far.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: But speaking of news getting to you eventually, just because
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I've been getting a little bit of questions about it constantly,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I do want to talk about this Jade and Ivy
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: situation in Chicago, but.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna save it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna let things sort of flesh out a little
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: bit because and I'll just tell you why I didn't
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: want to talk about it initially. First of all, like
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: you know, growing up in my situation closeted, and then
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: like you feel like the world maybe.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Has finally evolved.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: We get to twenty fifteen and there's the you know,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: the marriage equality thing, and it's like, all right, great,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: we've passed that part of you know, human evolution where
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: people think that, you know, being gay is the worst
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah blah. And then people just keep
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: giving it life or giving it breath and then just
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: bringing it back and feeling like, wait, I don't want
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: to have this conversation again. I just did this every
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: you know, so often for the last twenty year thirty
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: I don't want to do it again. So let's just
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: let this disappear and hopefully Jadon and Ivy disappears and
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: it never becomes an issue. But the more there is
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: too it, the more it does make me feel like
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: I have a little bit of responsibility to discuss it,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: and more that I just want to discuss it because
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: it's like multi layered and the things that have been
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: said out there really aren't hitting the mark.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: When it comes to this topic.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: But I am going to talk about it, just gonna
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: probably wait till Monday or Tuesday next week. And not
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: that people are like sitting at home waiting for me
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: to discuss it. I'm just addressing it in that Yeah,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: well no.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I do think there are sitting at home waiting for
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: you to address it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: You're gay, yeah, probably have told you a long time,
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: but people, no, I would say, if there's a voice
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: that people want to hear from on this story, is
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: he Yours is the voice.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: So you take your time, you do it how you
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: want to do it. You want to do it without
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: me and my friend Chizzy, No, thank you, because it
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: really doesn't know.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Like the first the reason I didn't want to talk
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: about it is because all it does is give all
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: these people who just want to, you know, spread hatred
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: everywhere and have these topics all the time and like
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: the losers like Riley Gaines of the world.
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: To discuss it.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: It's like, so as soon as I saw that happening,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I was like, I'm gonna let this let this cycle
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: pass before I discussed it, because then it's just gonna
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: get lost in everything else.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: In all these clowns talking about the wrong things.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Wow, I mean the rare, the rare example of patients
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: in sports media waiting for our story to develop before
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: he talks about it. I've never heard anyone do that
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: before in sports media period.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: And the discussion.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: You are the first one to let the facts play out. Congratulations, trailblazer. Patience,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: where is it laziness?
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but by the time but you know how this works,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: and I can't wait to hear what it is you
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: have to say. But by the time you get around
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: to talking about it, we'll be onto the Masters.
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: And yeah, that's fine.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'll be having of everyone.
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: I'd rather watch the Masters too. I'm not gonna lie.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I'd rather hear from you on this.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: I would.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I'd rather hear from you. And I'm being serious and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: genuine and you know that.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, no easy way to transition out of that, but
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: we'll stay inside. The NBA. Luca pulls a handy last night.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know how serious it was. I'm a day removed.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I'm confused with this guy. I said he'd never win
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: an MVP, he'd never win a championship, and then yesterday
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I said, I think he's gonna win a championship, and
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: it might be this year, and he might be the MVB.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: But Luca pulls a handy because that's what Luca does.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: How serious was it is?
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: If so?
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I was watching that game in the first half and
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: he there was a moment where you could tell he
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: tweaked the hamstring and he was like holding it, kind
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: of rubbing it a little bit, and just decided to
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: play through it. And I don't know if you remember
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: last year's playoffs Warriors Rockets. I believe it was Warriors
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Rockets where Steph Curry kind of pulled up, no, I'm sorry,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: second round, second round against tiberwolveshere ste Curry kind of
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: pulled up and then sort of played a little bit
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: more and then it was just like, now, come get me,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: get me.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Out of here.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I would have thought that the second Luca reached for
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: his hamstring, never mind that he would pull himself out,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: that one of the coaches says, no, no, no, we're not
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: taking our chances. Get out of here. You get out
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: of the game. But then full disclosure, fell asleep late game,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: fell asleep, and then saw what happened in the third quarter.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: When he exited, and I was just like, man, he
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: stayed in there, and he fought through what he could
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: obviously tell was the beginning of an injury and made
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: it worse in all likelihood, and it's probably gonna miss
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I mean historically with those ham strings, probably a couple
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: of weeks. So he's going right to the front of
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: the playoffs there. And to me, the first thing that
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I thought of was that m Effort cares like the
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: guy the people who say, oh.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: He doesn't care, he doesn't want to do well.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: First of all, yeah, obviously he lost all the weight
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: and pretty much kept it off for the for the
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: most part of this season, but like playing through that
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: at this stage of the season when the only thing
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: really at stake. Yeah, there's playoff positioning, but there they're
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: good in the top six is MVP consideration, and maybe
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: he was trying to victor Wembin yama It and trying
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: to push himself so that he could win the MVP.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: That's the thing that I started thinking about, is like,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: did he go too far and staying in the game
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: and then costing his team as a result.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: It's not something that he likes to talk about. As
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: we discussed on the radio show. The more you talk
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: about it, the less likely you are to.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Win the MVP. But it was a game against Oklahoma City.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: He was playing SGA.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: He probably wanted to make a statement in that game
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: in terms of an MVP.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Statement and even bring that up, that's a great point.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: And them as a team probably wanted to make a statement.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: So I will tell you this, when both sides were
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: completely healthy. First quarter, Oklahoma City outscored him by twenty
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: three points. I believe it was forty four to twenty
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: one after a quarter in that game, and that was
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: a statement by Oklahoma City.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: And then Luca gets hurt in the third quarter. They
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: were hitting a lot, and maybe that's why he did
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: stay it.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Maybe he's just like, well, I can't leave now because
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: it's going to look like I just bailed when this team,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: as you know, dominating a healthy version of us. And
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: so it is, it does suck, like it just sucks
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: if we lose him.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: For a good amount of time.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Then he comes back at the first round of the playoffs,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: not maybe not himself. Maybe that team's not altogether Like
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: you could stand to lose some stars in the game.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: But I would say for this season and again don't
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: know how long it is for this season. I think
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: he and Victor Winbinyama are the two brightest in terms
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: of must see stars, right, not including bam Oudabayo of course.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: Uh, Victor Winbyama and Luka dantet am.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I Right, well, I think so this is interesting because
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I think when you when you look at and this
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: is how fans do it in the NBA, you look
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: at guys who should win a championship, right, Luca and
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Wemby are those two guys.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: So people are going to be interested.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: You want to have the Lakers relevant, of course, but
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I think people expect those two guys to win championships
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: plural and because of that, and they're pretty polarizing.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I think there is a lot of attention on those
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: two individuals. So yeah, I mean, that's the guy you
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: do not want to lose.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: The reason I wouldn't throw Anthony Edwards into that mix
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: is because of what you said, like, yeah, he's probably
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: one of those top three guys that you want to
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: watch on a nightly basis, but in terms of championship pressures, nah,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: So if he went down this year, it wouldn't be
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: that big a deal. I also started paying a little
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: closer attention to some of Luca's like personal stuff. Like
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you noticed, but like he's apparently
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: in a fight for a custody of his kids, right
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: his wife left him or they have you know, separated
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: or get divorced whatever. And you know, obviously his team
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: traded him in the Dallas Mavericks his first American city
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: that he had to force his way to Luke to
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: La et cetera. Man, Like, his personal life can't be great,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: and I'm not sure he was just like on the
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: sideline the other night, just crying after I want to say,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: a win. And I can't imagine that he can separate
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: all that stuff, right, Like I think all that stuff
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: probably goes into his thinking every night.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: That's twice.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: So, like you see how angry he.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Is allot the time.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: When he does, he's like a few and he's like
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: and it's just like, man, that dude just doesn't seem
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: like really happy outside.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: And then you just read some of the details.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: It's like, man, why would he be outside of like Lakers'
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: success right now?
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Why would he be happy? And so hundreds of millions
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: of dollars that he makes don't.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Well, it helps, I'm sure, but like maybe that even
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: had something to do with him just like saying, fit,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: I'll just fight through this handy because I don't know, man,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I don't think like last year's Luca or two years
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: ago Luca with the Dallas Mavericks and he's making a run, like,
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think he takes it that lightly.
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: I think he would have pulled himself out.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: But I think there's just extra pressures that come with
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: being a Laker, but also just everything else that I
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: was saying before, and like, yeah, I think he probably
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: you know, there's another timeline somewhere where he's like, get
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: me out of here, and then it's just he misses
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: a day or two where it's just now we're talking
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: about probably a week or two.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: The West is going to be so interesting because the
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Nuggets are playing so well. Hopefully Luca is healthy, because
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: all four of the teams in the West are playing
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: like the four teams I would consider to have a
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: shot at making it to the NBA Finals, and the
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Lakers were one of those teams.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with Luca. But the Nuggets are incredible.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: The Spurs one by twenty without Wenby last night. They
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: don't care. And Oklahoma City's playing well again. It's gonna
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: be a great Western. My concern is the East tailor
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: and the Knicks don't have a shot, because I'm telling
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: you right now, the Celtics might be the.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Best team in the NBA. In fact, I'm.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Gonna say it right now, the Celtics are the best
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: team in the NBA. And the Celtics are going to
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: win a second NBA title in three years. How about
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: that wow over the Thunder huh yes, yeah, no, maybe
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets, I don't know, Okay, yeah.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: The other thing just back to Luca real quick.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Based on his and this is why I like when
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: people were saying, or even the Lakers were saying, we're
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: not a championship team based on what he did that
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: one run with Dallas where he got all the way
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: to the finals and it was nowhere near expecting him to.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Of course, he can do that again, a fit version
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: of him if he wasn't hurt with you know, a
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: couple of teammates like Lebron and Austin Reeves, you know,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: playing the Kyrie role. Of course he could make that
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: run again, because there isn't a runaway favorite in.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: The Western Conference.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Even I would say the thunder are a healthy favorite,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: but I think nobody's gonna be shocked if they get
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: ousted in the Western Conference finals. So that's where it hurts,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: especially if this Luca thing and he's got an MRI scheduled.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: If this Luca injury, you know, basically ends the hope
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: of him being healthy for a good playoff run.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Taylor, you concerned as a Nick fan? You have your
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Nick hat on today? What do you think here? Because
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I don't think the Knicks are gonna get there. This
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: is I fucking hate this.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: So I'm conflicted with this Knicks team just because I'm
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: not trying to get wrapped up in the highs and
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: the lows of the regular season. Because since they hired
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Mike Brown, I've been pretty consistent that I'm only gonna
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: judge this team based on what they do in the postseason.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: So every time they win, I'm.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Listening to New York Sports media, They're gonna win the championship.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Every time they lose, they got to blow it up.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: I've just kind of been horse blinders on just get
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: me to the postseason, and then I'm going to assess
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: the team how they do once they get to the postseason.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: How do you like Jose Alvarado? Now, by the.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Way, I'm proud of I'm proud of the New York
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Sports media. That's how you do it. When you win,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: you win a championship. When you lose, the world is collapsing.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: They won, They've won seven of ten. They're just not
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: playing as well. The Celtics are overwhelming, and I'm not
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: certain what to do with the Pitzons because the Pistons
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: are still playing good without Kate gunning it.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: It's weird.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you say the ups and downs of
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: the next season, it's been pretty steady. It kind of
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: just depends on who they're playing, right, because they won one, two, three, four, five,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: seven in a row. But you're talking about games against
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: the Jazz, the Pacers, the Warriors, the Pacers again, the Nets,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: the Wizards, and the Pelicans. And then you hit a
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: three game stretch against the Hornets, Thunder and Rockets.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Of course you're going to lose all three of them.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: And then they have a game that settles them a
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: little bit against the Grizzlies where they win without Jalen
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Brunson and Karl Anthony Towns has a triple double, and
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: it seems like, oh, oh yeah, we got Carlon man.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: That team when Karl Anthony Towns is on the floor, defensively,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: they're terrible. You see Jalen Brunson sometimes like I think
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: he sort of hates the idea that it's got I
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: think he knows it's got to be him one A,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: one B and one C throughout the playoffs, and I
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: don't know if he wants all that heavy lifting, and
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: so he's like trying to find other people to get
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: him going, to help him out.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: I just I don't see that team making it past
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: the second round.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to put myself in the NBA's position. Obviously,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: you want the Celtics and the Knicks, and he had
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: their team is having a decent season.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Would be a complete.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Disaster for the NBA if that team made it to
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: the NBA Finals, meaning the Pistons, Calves, Hawks, Sixers, No,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: well maybe the Sixers, but no one wants the Calves,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: the Hawks or the Pistons are wrecking their NBA Finals.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: It's actually a.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Great conversation in the Eastern Conference outside of Boston. You know,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: there's enough people who like Boston, so Boston would be good. Yeah,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: the Sixers, you're right, man, Like, what kind of a
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: story that would be?
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Joelyn never make it out of the second round.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: This time, he's going all the way to the finals
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: and maybe he has a chance to win one out
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: of nowhere.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Being serious here is he?
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not certain that Wemby versus Embiid wouldn't be the best.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Option for the NBA.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: I mean because if you think about it, every round
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: that Philly wins, they become a more intriguing story. So
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: if they get all the way to the end against
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: those two. But I'm telling you right now, Taylor the
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: most interesting team that everybody would be happy if they
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: made it out of the Eastern Conference.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: The Charlotte Hornets.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Hornets, there's something about that two straight going for it again.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, America's team and they have and this is a
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: discussion that I find to be the most frustrating and
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: stupid discussion in all of sports. But damn it, they
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: might have the best white American basketball player on their
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: roster in continental Come on, you know that carries.
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: Some weight in this country too. Charlotte Hornets, America's team Baby.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: The best white American player right now in the NBA.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Is he right about that?
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: I haven't even I haven't even looked at I mean,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: he might not even be the best white American basketball
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: player in his own draft class.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: But still, hmm.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: So some people do say the sea in Charlotte stands
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: for Caucasians.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I think I said that once, Yes, there you go,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: but Taylor put it in my ear.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I mean it's.
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: Funny though, like you get a team that's kind of
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: fun and.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: All this hold on Cooper Flag, I mean busts.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's what I was talking about in terms
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: of the best white American in his own draft class.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: But it can be Conkinipple.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Conkin Nipple could not be better than Cooper Flag.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: No. I mean it's a different type of game, man.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: He's old school. It's very much I mean not very much.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: But it's almost like Larry bird Ish in that you
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: don't really see a whole lot of athleticism.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: You just see a great shooter and a super high IQ.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: He can do a lot of things.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Now I'm looking up white American basketball players.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: I told you, it's a terrible conversation Stu.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Now I'm thinking, yeah, you.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: If you put Kanka Nipple and Cooper Flag on the
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: same team and go back maybe like a year in college,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: that team would have to win the title, right.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, knowing what we know now, yes, yes, yeah,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Canipple would carry them to a title.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: By the way, some people would argue Tyler hero not
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: all the way. Wait, who would argue.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: That Tyler Arrow would a little saucy? I have some
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: other names for you, Alex Caruso, Austin Reeves, Austin Reeves,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Austin Reeves.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I never thought Austin Reeves would be this good. It's ridiculous.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: He does have a thing for Austin Reeves.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Tayler the other day.
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: He's just like man, he was so good people not
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: know he was good. He's could be this good.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, anyone, anyone who forces Lebron to be horse
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: grants it has to be pretty good.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Lebron has turned himself into a third option.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: It's it's and he doesn't care.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: He doesn't seem to mind.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: He probably care until people say it enough, like when
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: you say if you make it a thing. Where Lebron
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: has turned into Horace Grant and gets.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: Back to him. He's gonna hate that.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: So how do you imagine that working inside the inside
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: the Lakers locker room? Like, they all know he's the third,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: but it's not something you can say it. You can't
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: say it out loud. Oh no, jj Reddick said it
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: out loud.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: He said, our team is at its best if jave
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Lebron James is our third option.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: And I yeah, but all the players why right?
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: He can only say that because he hosted a podcast
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: with him. Yes, I'm not even certain he should be
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: saying it. I think they should all be silent.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Let him think he's the second or the first for
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: that matter.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, when he's not. It is funny.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: Listen.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to convince myself to take Michigan because everyone
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: keeps telling me the best team in the final four.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to talk myself into it, but I can't
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: because I watched the Arizona I'm.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: With you, man, no, no, I love Michigan.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I love watching them play.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: I know Seth Davis picked them when he was on
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: with us, but I'm sticking to Arizona, man, I'm sticking
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: to that team which was just one through whatever seven.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: They just look like devastating athletes that can just rock
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: the rim at any time.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Here's the problem for me.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: I will watch along with you, Arizona will play for
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: the first time in the Sweet sixteen, and I swore
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: to myself that's the best team I've ever seen in
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: college basketball. People keep telling me that Michigan is better.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: I haven't watched Michigan yet.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: Well, that's a good opportunity to do.
