I think I'm just salty 00:03:47.819 --> 00:03:49.819 that St. John's got eliminated in the round of 00:03:49.819 --> 00:03:54.659 32. 34 fucking points! Are you shittin' me?

Game against Auburn. Season on the 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.210 line. Hitting dagger threes dude his his step 00:04:08.210 --> 00:04:11.689 back three when we were down. We were down six 00:04:11.689 --> 00:04:15.569 With 12 minutes left. He's a lot of time. He 00:04:15.569 --> 00:04:18.550 that's not clutch It's not in the clutch because 00:04:18.550 --> 00:04:21.290 his bucket where he made the move and went up 00:04:21.290 --> 00:04:23.769 the middle Lee in the that was there was like 00:04:23.769 --> 00:04:25.310 three minutes now Are you guys say the fourth 00:04:25.310 --> 00:04:27.449 quarter? I think you had too many Red Bull boxers. 00:04:27.449 --> 00:04:29.529 No, no, no, no. They only played two halves in 00:04:29.529 --> 00:04:31.430 college basketball. I understand this, but what 00:04:31.430 --> 00:04:33.470 I'm trying to tell you is we were down, we were 00:04:33.470 --> 00:04:37.649 down six and he hit this dirty ass step back 00:04:37.649 --> 00:04:43.329 three. This motherfucker put up 34 points in 00:04:43.329 --> 00:04:47.389 the final four. Who puts up 34 points in the 00:04:47.389 --> 00:04:48.949 final four? I think it was, I think it was the 00:04:48.949 --> 00:04:51.350 most points I saw us that on ESPN on the bottom 00:04:51.350 --> 00:04:54.240 line. I think it was like the most. Final four 00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.439 points since 1980s. Here's the thing shout out 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:02.399 to shout out Huge huge fucking shout out to Alex 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:06.560 Khan tonight for one point one point fouled out 00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.800 One point fouled out, but I'll tell you one thing 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.240 that one point made the difference because that 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.699 put us up and put the game away because here's 00:05:13.699 --> 00:05:17.259 the thing we were we were They won by six. It 00:05:17.259 --> 00:05:19.579 was but here's the thing. It was a sweater This 00:05:19.579 --> 00:05:21.579 game was a sweater. I know they won by six. But 00:05:21.579 --> 00:05:23.379 they won by six and you're saying one point made 00:05:23.379 --> 00:05:25.699 the difference. No. That doesn't math. The math 00:05:25.699 --> 00:05:28.579 is not math. Momentum, motherfucker. Momentum. 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.360 Momentum. That one point didn't even happen in 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.339 the clutch. Momentum. He may have won 0 -5 from 00:05:33.339 --> 00:05:35.120 the field tonight. He may have won 0 -5 from 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:36.920 the field tonight. The one point didn't even 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:38.300 happen in the clutch. You're making the wrong 00:05:38.300 --> 00:05:40.540 points about the Florida Gators here. You're 00:05:40.540 --> 00:05:43.279 making the wrong points about the Florida Gators 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.899 here. They beat a very, very talented... Auburn 00:05:46.899 --> 00:05:49.579 team, probably the most talented team in the 00:05:49.579 --> 00:05:51.879 nation besides Duke. We'll get into that in a 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:53.740 minute. I'm a little bit salty. We're getting 00:05:53.740 --> 00:05:57.259 Auburn matchup in a second. Auburn, Jani Broome. 00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:00.600 One of the best players in the nation, probably 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:03.480 one of the best transfers. Auburn locked down 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.120 on defense. They held Florida to under 80 points, 00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:09.100 which was probably the recipe for success in 00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:12.709 the game. But Florida found a way to win. Getting 00:06:12.709 --> 00:06:15.629 offensive rebounds late in the game. Even with 00:06:15.629 --> 00:06:17.470 all the turnovers they had. They had a bunch 00:06:17.470 --> 00:06:19.129 of turnovers. I'm trying to compliment Florida 00:06:19.129 --> 00:06:21.069 and you're cutting me off. This is really disappointing. 00:06:21.089 --> 00:06:25.449 I'm continuing it. All I'm saying is that Florida 00:06:25.449 --> 00:06:28.329 showed the heart late. They missed free throws 00:06:28.329 --> 00:06:29.910 down the stretch. What happened when they missed 00:06:29.910 --> 00:06:32.110 the free throws? They got offensive rebounds. 00:06:32.689 --> 00:06:35.410 What happened when Auburn surged back to tie 00:06:35.410 --> 00:06:37.379 the game? They got buckets down the stretch. 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.279 Like you said, Walter Clayton Jr. was able to 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.480 get to the rim. In that clutch basket where he 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:45.819 got on that open layup, I didn't really understand 00:06:45.819 --> 00:06:49.000 what Auburn's defense was doing. When I watched 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:50.959 that play, I was like, what is this? Is this 00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:54.540 like a 5 -e -5 scrimmage? I was like, he should 00:06:54.540 --> 00:06:57.699 have never had that open of a layup that late 00:06:57.699 --> 00:06:59.879 in a Final Four game. And I believe that was 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:01.319 the layup to take the lead, right? They were 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.370 down one and he got to the rim. Easy layup to 00:07:04.370 --> 00:07:05.769 take the lead. And then that was it. Florida 00:07:05.769 --> 00:07:09.870 never gave the lead back up. Never. And Auburn 00:07:09.870 --> 00:07:12.430 conned and fouled out of the game. One point, 00:07:12.470 --> 00:07:14.009 like you said, but he's their big body in the 00:07:14.009 --> 00:07:16.790 game. How does Auburn let up an offensive rebound 00:07:16.790 --> 00:07:18.670 late on a missed one -on -one for you? Yeah, 00:07:18.670 --> 00:07:20.730 that was gross. That was gross on that end. That's 00:07:20.730 --> 00:07:22.889 not gross for you. You're going to an anti -title 00:07:22.889 --> 00:07:25.490 game. Oh, I'm excited. I say you like you're 00:07:25.490 --> 00:07:26.750 on the team. You're not even on the fucking team. 00:07:26.790 --> 00:07:31.110 But I'm saying, Chad Baker Mazzara for Auburn, 00:07:31.449 --> 00:07:36.259 he... averaged maybe nine points a game this 00:07:36.259 --> 00:07:40.040 season. He averaged like eight to nine points 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.339 this season. Tonight, he decided to turn into 00:07:43.339 --> 00:07:50.660 a god and put up 18 points. That's huge. Huge. 00:07:50.980 --> 00:07:53.160 And like you said - And he was making me sweat 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:55.819 because I can tell you one thing. When I watched 00:07:55.819 --> 00:07:57.360 him on the court, I'm like, he's not a threat. 00:07:57.899 --> 00:08:00.639 He's not a threat. And he proceeded to put it 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:04.079 up and he put up 18. Cause Johnny Broome was 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:07.319 who I was worried about going to. Thank you. 00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:09.879 Sorry. I told you we're a couple drinks deep. 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:14.540 Jai Broome decided. He was the one I was most 00:08:14.540 --> 00:08:16.399 scared about going into this game, of course, 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:19.000 and he delivered. He had a great game tonight. 00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:26.240 But I will tell you this. Alex Condon, he I was 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.000 talking about this on the last episode. He seemed 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.959 hurt in the paint. He wasn't physical as he usually 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.740 is. He wasn't as dialed in as he is usually. 00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:38.080 Tonight, I saw some physicality out of him. You 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.799 can tell when a player is putting up everything 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.220 they have on the line, even when it breaks them 00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:46.019 to their backs. And he put it up tonight. I know 00:08:46.019 --> 00:08:47.559 he only scored one point, but it's not about 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:49.820 the scoring. It's about the presence and the 00:08:49.820 --> 00:08:52.340 paint. It's about the offensive rebounds. The 00:08:52.340 --> 00:08:54.799 rim protection. Yeah, exactly. But I'm saying, 00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:59.720 down the stretch tonight, that team decided We're 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.059 gonna fuckin' go to this national championship. 00:09:02.179 --> 00:09:05.279 We're gonna dial in. And Elijah Morton, I gotta 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:08.700 give huge props to Elijah Morton. That motherfucker 00:09:08.700 --> 00:09:12.820 put... He had the game of his career tonight. 00:09:13.379 --> 00:09:15.500 He had the game of his career tonight. He did. 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:17.860 And here's the thing. I've been watching him 00:09:17.860 --> 00:09:22.980 all season. But that dude shot 60 % from the 00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:25.600 field tonight. He dialed the fuck in. He was 00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.379 like, you know what? It's time to lock in. He 00:09:28.379 --> 00:09:31.179 had a three, it was with like nine, I don't know 00:09:31.179 --> 00:09:32.940 the exact time of it, but he had a three with 00:09:32.940 --> 00:09:35.419 like nine minutes left to put us up six. And 00:09:35.419 --> 00:09:38.500 I was like, oh my God. We're gonna win this game 00:09:38.500 --> 00:09:41.059 with nine minutes. Are you fucking insane? No, 00:09:41.059 --> 00:09:43.019 I'm nine minutes off. We're gonna win this game 00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:45.299 up six That's literally it's about momentum. 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.419 It's about it's about momentum. It's about momentum 00:09:48.419 --> 00:09:50.340 because here's the thing We were down six we 00:09:50.340 --> 00:09:52.000 were in the shit or we were done eight at the 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:53.679 half It's like I thought you were down ten at 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.919 that ten at that we were down we were down at 00:09:55.919 --> 00:10:00.200 the half I'm like we're screwed Came out three 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.879 three to tie it forty nine forty nine and I'm 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:07.809 like, holy shit We we we're back We're back because 00:10:07.809 --> 00:10:11.210 after the Texas Tech being down as much as we 00:10:11.210 --> 00:10:13.070 were with four minutes left, six minutes left, 00:10:13.490 --> 00:10:16.509 I was like, this season is going to be over. 00:10:16.529 --> 00:10:18.490 And this is the best team I've seen in Florida 00:10:18.490 --> 00:10:21.509 since I was young. And I didn't remember it. 00:10:21.509 --> 00:10:22.990 Like I told you, I couldn't even remember the 00:10:22.990 --> 00:10:25.149 fucking Al Horford was on the goddamn team. But 00:10:25.149 --> 00:10:29.210 I'll tell you this. The team showed grit tonight, 00:10:29.289 --> 00:10:32.769 grit, because Auburn, I truly believe I said 00:10:32.769 --> 00:10:35.049 this, Auburn is the best team in the nation. 00:10:35.049 --> 00:10:38.529 They were. They are. They were. They were, because 00:10:38.529 --> 00:10:41.429 now they're going to Cancun. But. They don't 00:10:41.429 --> 00:10:43.690 go to Cancun. I know they don't go to Cancun, 00:10:43.769 --> 00:10:45.029 but I'm just saying. You just said they're going 00:10:45.029 --> 00:10:46.769 to Cancun. Did you or did you not just say they're 00:10:46.769 --> 00:10:47.690 going to Cancun? I just said they're going to 00:10:47.690 --> 00:10:49.690 Cancun. But what I'm trying to say - So they're 00:10:49.690 --> 00:10:52.490 not going to Cancun, just to be clear. Yeah. 00:10:52.629 --> 00:10:55.210 They're not going to Cancun. But. I will say 00:10:55.210 --> 00:10:59.350 this. They're going back to fucking Math 4. Yeah, 00:10:59.470 --> 00:11:02.909 Math 4. They're going back to Scientology 3. 00:11:03.389 --> 00:11:06.399 But. I will tell you this. I will say going back 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:10.059 to class after a final four loss has to be absolutely 00:11:10.059 --> 00:11:13.179 brutal. I just have to say this. What do you 00:11:13.179 --> 00:11:16.399 got to say? Grit. Grit. You just mentioned that. 00:11:16.620 --> 00:11:19.480 That's fine. I'm saying grit. This Florida team 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.840 tonight showed grit. Because to beat that Auburn 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:29.679 team takes grit. And I was so impressed with 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:32.200 the coaching down the stretch. I was so impressed 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.580 with the physicality down the stretch to grab 00:11:34.580 --> 00:11:36.440 the offensive rebound with nine seconds left. 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.200 When they had a chance, they put up a three. 00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:41.240 Auburn had a chance to tie it a quarter doesn't 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:42.299 matter. No, no, no. They had a chance to cut 00:11:42.299 --> 00:11:44.000 the one. They had a chance to cut the one. No, 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:45.480 no, no, no. They were down. No, I'm talking about 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:47.179 I'm talking about with like with like 30 seconds 00:11:47.179 --> 00:11:50.200 left in the game. Auburn had a wide, wide open 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:53.019 three that they had a spank wide open three and 00:11:53.019 --> 00:11:55.279 they missed it. And when they miss it, I was. 00:11:55.379 --> 00:11:58.299 Did you classify spank wide open three? He was 00:11:58.299 --> 00:12:00.740 wide open. He had nobody on him. Why spank needed? 00:12:00.940 --> 00:12:03.460 Don't know spank wasn't me, but what was needed 00:12:03.460 --> 00:12:05.580 was the fact when he missed it that was when 00:12:05.580 --> 00:12:07.759 it hit me And here's the thing we were we were 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.519 at dinner and we were at a nice dinner tonight 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:14.039 And here I am being a piece of shit because I 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:16.159 got a game on my phone watching it propped up 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:21.960 on the water And I'm like, oh my god, we're actually 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.480 going to the fucking national championship. We're 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.659 actually going to it took me 30 minutes at dinner 00:12:28.659 --> 00:12:34.169 to just relax because I was just. I'm so happy 00:12:34.169 --> 00:12:36.610 you don't understand where my high is right now, 00:12:36.649 --> 00:12:40.129 like. The only reason why I think I got as drunk 00:12:40.129 --> 00:12:43.549 as I did tonight was because I was so high on 00:12:43.549 --> 00:12:45.149 the fact that Florida won tonight because I'm 00:12:45.149 --> 00:12:46.610 like, I don't even know how to comprehend this. 00:12:46.690 --> 00:12:48.809 I go, what do I do? I got to celebrate. I got 00:12:48.809 --> 00:12:52.830 a drink because I'm just like. I'm serious. I 00:12:52.830 --> 00:12:56.090 got a drink because my team is going to a natty 00:12:56.090 --> 00:12:58.149 title. That's an insane. They spray champagne 00:12:58.149 --> 00:13:01.210 bottles in the locker rooms in major leagues. 00:13:01.669 --> 00:13:04.909 So I had to spray champagne bottles down my throat. 00:13:05.289 --> 00:13:07.570 You didn't drink champagne. I didn't. I drank 00:13:07.570 --> 00:13:12.950 beer. But I will tell you this. My fucking Florida 00:13:12.950 --> 00:13:14.870 Gators are going to the national championship. 00:13:15.419 --> 00:13:17.720 And you guys are gonna listen this podcast Monday 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:19.740 morning Tuesday morning Wednesday morning I don't 00:13:19.740 --> 00:13:21.179 know when you're gonna listen to it this following 00:13:21.179 --> 00:13:23.899 week.

Your future is gone. 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:49.200 Your future is gone. We don't have to talk about 00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:52.259 that, but I will say, and this is a good transition 00:15:52.259 --> 00:15:56.080 to the Houston Duke game. No, no, no, we're done. 00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:58.639 No, let me stay on my high horse for a second. 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.179 You can't even let me stay on my high horse for 00:16:01.179 --> 00:16:02.659 a second. You've been on your high horse for 00:16:02.659 --> 00:16:05.159 15 minutes and 48 seconds. Because here's the 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:09.460 thing. I'm a Rangers fan. I'm a Knicks fan.

The Rangers didn't 00:16:30.580 --> 00:16:33.120 win it. Well, they lost because Jonathan Quick 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:37.200 was a dog in the cup. But I will say this. For 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:39.899 the first time in 10 years, my favorite team 00:16:39.899 --> 00:16:42.759 is going to the motherfucking national championship 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:46.639 game.

I won't get this So let me 00:17:14.609 --> 00:17:16.390 enjoy the fact that floor is going to the national 00:17:16.390 --> 00:17:19.710 championship Let me enjoy the fact that my team 00:17:19.710 --> 00:17:23.509 for the first time in a fucking long time has 00:17:23.509 --> 00:17:26.819 a chance to win at all Yeah, they're gonna be 00:17:26.819 --> 00:17:29.420 going up against a very good Houston team and 00:17:29.420 --> 00:17:31.660 and here's the thing I know at this point when 00:17:31.660 --> 00:17:33.539 the next episode comes out. It's gonna be a week 00:17:33.539 --> 00:17:38.900 gone by But I will say this We're gonna talk 00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:41.880 about it first thing next episode even if Florida 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.299 loses. Yeah, we're gonna talk about it Okay, 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:47.619 even in my tears You can get that sadness out 00:17:47.619 --> 00:17:50.339 of me. Can we talk about how Duke blew that game? 00:17:50.500 --> 00:17:56.700 Oh my god dude Duke is the They are the biggest 00:17:56.700 --> 00:18:00.859 choke -hardest of all time. I just want to say 00:18:00.859 --> 00:18:04.799 this. I had a future on Duke. I had Duke in my 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.720 brackets. I had Duke tonight to win the game. 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:15.720 Minus four and a half. And... They blew it. That's 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:17.759 all I'm gonna say. I mean, Houston ended the 00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:22.000 game on what? A 13 -3 run? Up 14 with eight minutes 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.390 left. You might think, oh, eight minutes left 00:18:26.390 --> 00:18:29.309 is an eternity. And yeah, in the NBA, that's 00:18:29.309 --> 00:18:32.490 probably an eternity and you see 14 point leads 00:18:32.490 --> 00:18:35.250 blown all the time. But in college basketball, 00:18:35.490 --> 00:18:38.089 you should never ever blow a 14 point lead. Up 00:18:38.089 --> 00:18:41.609 seven with two minutes left. Yeah. How about 00:18:41.609 --> 00:18:44.789 up three with 30 seconds left and the ball? That 00:18:44.789 --> 00:18:47.490 might be the worst stat. I mean, you turn it 00:18:47.490 --> 00:18:49.109 over on the inbounds pass. Is that what they 00:18:49.109 --> 00:18:51.089 did? Pretty sure they turned it over on the inbounds 00:18:51.089 --> 00:18:55.029 pass. Then... Houston missed a three got the 00:18:55.029 --> 00:18:58.410 offensive rebound Duke misses a free throw Houston 00:18:58.410 --> 00:19:01.470 goes down and scores a bucket. I Mean at the 00:19:01.470 --> 00:19:05.430 end of the day That falls on coaching that falls 00:19:05.430 --> 00:19:08.269 on the players not being able to execute late 00:19:08.269 --> 00:19:11.549 in the game Cooper flag Missed I don't want to 00:19:11.549 --> 00:19:14.390 say a bunny but missed a very makeable shot front 00:19:14.390 --> 00:19:16.829 end of the rim late in the game Gonna be the 00:19:16.829 --> 00:19:19.349 number one NBA draft pick. I think he probably 00:19:19.349 --> 00:19:21.329 should have made that shot. But again, that's 00:19:21.329 --> 00:19:23.619 not me I probably would have. I'm not even going 00:19:23.619 --> 00:19:25.839 to say that I would have made it, but it was 00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:27.700 a makeable shot. He's going to be the number 00:19:27.700 --> 00:19:31.380 one pick in the NBA draft. Am I a Duke fan by 00:19:31.380 --> 00:19:34.039 any means? Absolutely not. I'm not a Duke fan 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:36.839 by any means. I'm just salty because, like I 00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:39.319 said, I had the future on them. I had them in 00:19:39.319 --> 00:19:42.619 the game tonight and what I watched was abysmal. 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:44.559 And I don't think Duke fans are going to be able 00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:46.380 to lay their heads on their pillows tonight and 00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:50.609 fall asleep. No, no. Look. We're awake at 3 o 00:19:50.609 --> 00:19:53.430 'clock in the morning right now. Duke fans are 00:19:53.430 --> 00:19:55.630 still awake with us right now. And they're laying 00:19:55.630 --> 00:19:57.210 on their, they're laying staring at the ceiling 00:19:57.210 --> 00:19:59.309 like how the hell did we lose that game tonight? 00:19:59.990 --> 00:20:01.529 Because at the end of the day you have the number 00:20:01.529 --> 00:20:05.230 one overall draft pick. You have a stud freshman 00:20:05.230 --> 00:20:09.609 in Conn Knipple. You have a stud veteran guard 00:20:09.609 --> 00:20:14.670 in Tyrese Proctor. How the fuck do you blow that 00:20:14.670 --> 00:20:17.410 game? Houston's a bunch of dogs. They're grown 00:20:17.410 --> 00:20:20.259 ass men out there. That's what houston is and 00:20:20.259 --> 00:20:23.299 kelvin samson coach k Calvin can't kelvin samson 00:20:23.299 --> 00:20:25.339 is one of the top coaches in the country He's 00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:27.380 been there before he's been there in the tournament 00:20:27.380 --> 00:20:30.019 with these teams plenty of times before And you 00:20:30.019 --> 00:20:32.779 could see it with their late game execution They 00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:35.720 were calm with the game down the stretch when 00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:37.940 they were down 13 late in the game when they 00:20:37.940 --> 00:20:41.119 were down 10 late in the game They were poised. 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:44.599 They were present in the game They had that dog 00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:48.279 in them. They knew how to close the game out 00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:51.420 when it came to crunch time. And it showed their 00:20:51.420 --> 00:20:54.660 press on defense, their full court press caused 00:20:54.660 --> 00:20:57.720 Duke to turn it over. I saw late in the game 00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:00.720 where the possession arrow belonged to Houston 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.220 and they double teamed at half court. Duke had 00:21:03.220 --> 00:21:06.200 a timeout and didn't call it. And that was costly. 00:21:06.299 --> 00:21:07.880 I think there was a minute and a half left. How 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:09.759 do you not use the timeout there? The players 00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.440 have to know. The players have to know. I'm trapped. 00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:14.920 I can't go anywhere with the ball. You have to 00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.240 use the time out there. And that's what blew 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:21.339 my mind. That's what shows the inexperience from 00:21:21.339 --> 00:21:23.539 some of these players on Duke. And that's what 00:21:23.539 --> 00:21:26.059 showed the experience from the players on Houston. 00:21:26.339 --> 00:21:29.619 They knew when to trap. They trapped hard. They 00:21:29.619 --> 00:21:32.589 double teamed. They forced the turnovers. They 00:21:32.589 --> 00:21:34.609 got the buckets late in the game when they needed 00:21:34.609 --> 00:21:36.809 to get them. They made their free throws down 00:21:36.809 --> 00:21:38.670 the stretch which is probably the most important 00:21:38.670 --> 00:21:40.410 thing in college basketball is making your free 00:21:40.410 --> 00:21:43.349 throws late. And they executed and Duke failed 00:21:43.349 --> 00:21:45.089 to execute and that's what the game came down 00:21:45.089 --> 00:21:48.049 to. I gotta tell you this. I'm scared as shit 00:21:48.049 --> 00:21:52.150 of LJ Cryer. That man played all 40 minutes tonight. 00:21:52.230 --> 00:21:56.069 He didn't sit the bench not once tonight. He 00:21:56.069 --> 00:21:59.150 didn't sit the bench not a single minute. Never 00:21:59.150 --> 00:22:02.210 came out of the game. Played the entire game. 00:22:02.990 --> 00:22:06.670 This man put up 26 points, shooting six of nine 00:22:06.670 --> 00:22:09.529 from three point. I mean when your season's online, 00:22:09.630 --> 00:22:10.990 your season's online, you're gonna play your 00:22:10.990 --> 00:22:13.549 best players. You don't have a next game at that 00:22:13.549 --> 00:22:17.009 point. But I'm just saying, he, Monday night, 00:22:17.210 --> 00:22:21.769 when that game starts, he's the guy I'm eyeing. 00:22:22.029 --> 00:22:24.410 I'm eyes on number four. I'm looking at number 00:22:24.410 --> 00:22:27.369 four the whole time on the court. Because here's 00:22:27.369 --> 00:22:30.750 the thing, Alex Condon banged up. Banged up. 00:22:32.179 --> 00:22:36.420 Watch out for LJ cryer Seriously, what kind of 00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:40.779 guy can play all 40 minutes in a game? Put up 00:22:40.779 --> 00:22:45.880 26 points shooting six of nine from three Who 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.420 can do that? While being down mostly game while 00:22:49.420 --> 00:22:52.500 being down. He's a fucking dog. They were down 00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:57.940 14 points With eight minutes left at one point. 00:22:57.940 --> 00:23:02.019 I peeked at the live lines And Duke was minus 00:23:02.019 --> 00:23:06.079 4 ,000 to win the game. Houston was plus 1 ,100. 00:23:06.539 --> 00:23:10.079 Plus 1 ,400. Plus 1 ,400. I believe that was 00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:13.339 with 10 minutes left in the game. That is ridiculous. 00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:17.579 That is an absurd choke job by the Duke Blue 00:23:17.579 --> 00:23:19.680 Devils. And they're not going to be able to sleep 00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.960 tonight. Those players, those fans, the coaches, 00:23:23.700 --> 00:23:26.279 the students are not going to be able to sleep 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:28.259 tonight. And that's what it boils down to. It's 00:23:28.259 --> 00:23:31.940 a chaotic... choke job. It is the best thing 00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:34.900 I could put it to. And they were the heavy favorite. 00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:38.880 They were. And at the end of the day, Houston 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:42.519 was the more experienced team. They were grown 00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:46.059 men on the court. They showed the poise. And 00:23:46.059 --> 00:23:47.660 in all honesty, they deserved to win the game. 00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:51.079 They executed late. It's just sad. I do. Look, 00:23:51.660 --> 00:23:54.140 I feel bad for Duke fans because at the end of 00:23:54.140 --> 00:23:57.539 the day, this was their best team since 2015. 00:23:58.059 --> 00:24:00.960 No. Dude, come on. They had Zion Williamson, 00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:03.900 Cam Reddish, and RJ Barrett on the same team. 00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:06.440 This is true. That was their best team. You got 00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:07.220 me there. That was their best team. And they 00:24:07.220 --> 00:24:10.079 lost. And they did. And the best team doesn't 00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:13.680 always win. So, for Duke fans, I apologize because 00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:16.940 I know this is tough for you. I'm not apologizing. 00:24:17.140 --> 00:24:19.400 Because you don't like Duke. There's no apologies 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.049 to be given. It doesn't matter whether I like 00:24:22.049 --> 00:24:24.849 the team or not. I'm not apologizing. I'm not 00:24:24.849 --> 00:24:27.690 apologizing to the Kansas City Chiefs fans for 00:24:27.690 --> 00:24:29.869 losing the Super Bowl. Are you fucking kidding 00:24:29.869 --> 00:24:37.630 me? What are you doing? Apologizing? Pandering. 00:24:37.869 --> 00:24:40.369 Pandering to Duke fans. Why? I'm not pandering 00:24:40.369 --> 00:24:42.309 to Duke fans. You just said you were pandering. 00:24:42.569 --> 00:24:46.150 Who are you pandering to if you're apologizing 00:24:46.150 --> 00:24:48.940 to Duke? Who else would you be partnering to? 00:24:49.380 --> 00:24:50.960 Nobody, you're right. You're right. You're right. 00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:55.460 You got me. But I will say this. Alex Condon 00:24:55.460 --> 00:24:58.240 versus Juwan Roberts in the paint is going to 00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:02.559 be a fun ass match up to watch on Monday night. 00:25:02.900 --> 00:25:07.539 It's going to be a battle. It's going to be sick. 00:25:08.420 --> 00:25:12.420 I'm excited. Florida opened up as one and a half 00:25:12.420 --> 00:25:17.670 point dogs. Wow. So I'm gonna say the game's 00:25:17.670 --> 00:25:20.690 gonna come down to physicality number one Whoever 00:25:20.690 --> 00:25:23.650 can grab the rebounds if the other team was more 00:25:23.650 --> 00:25:25.549 open is one -and -a -half point dogs They've 00:25:25.549 --> 00:25:28.329 now moved to one one point favorites. Thank you 00:25:28.329 --> 00:25:31.130 for thank you for just botching my point Your 00:25:31.130 --> 00:25:34.009 point the game is gonna come down to who can 00:25:34.009 --> 00:25:36.490 control the offensive glass and get the extra 00:25:36.490 --> 00:25:38.809 possession because it's proven that Houston is 00:25:38.809 --> 00:25:44.079 a very defensive minded team Florida is Explosive 00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:47.299 on offense, but also has the size down low. So 00:25:47.299 --> 00:25:49.400 whoever's gonna control the glass is going to 00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:53.440 control this game and That is my prediction Do 00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:56.940 you have a final score prediction for the people 00:25:56.940 --> 00:26:00.579 right now on Saturday night early Sunday morning? 00:26:02.140 --> 00:26:08.460 77 to 72 Wow, so you had this game in the 70s 00:26:08.460 --> 00:26:11.519 you have Florida get into the high 70s 77 to 00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:16.339 72 Gators one Wow And I always say that because 00:26:16.339 --> 00:26:18.259 I got the biggest bet of my life on this game 00:26:18.259 --> 00:26:24.859 I'm gonna say 69 to 65 Gators I'm gonna go with 00:26:24.859 --> 00:26:27.099 the Gators just for you.

It was sweet 00:26:31.460 --> 00:26:34.079 I'll go with the Gators, but I think it's gonna 00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:37.279 be an awesome game. Oh my god Houston, Florida 00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:38.859 for the national championship. It's either gonna 00:26:38.859 --> 00:26:42.079 be the Gators or the Cougars Who take it all 00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:48.640 and I'll say this Houston I I have a little bit 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:51.859 of I have a little bit of respect for you a little 00:26:51.859 --> 00:26:55.559 bit. They're a fucking Fantastic basketball team 00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:57.579 there. They're an amazing basketball team I have 00:26:57.579 --> 00:26:59.440 I have I have a little bit of respect for you 00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:01.160 for the fact that you've knocked off the best 00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:03.640 team in the country tonight You did you knocked 00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:05.599 off the best team Duke was the best team in the 00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:08.809 country Houston has rolled through this tournament. 00:27:09.789 --> 00:27:13.609 They had a few close calls. The game against 00:27:13.609 --> 00:27:16.829 Purdue was a tough game, no doubt. That game 00:27:16.829 --> 00:27:20.309 came down to the wire. But other than that, they've 00:27:20.309 --> 00:27:23.109 pretty much rolled through this tournament. And 00:27:23.109 --> 00:27:26.769 I think everybody has given them the notion that 00:27:26.769 --> 00:27:30.089 they are choke artists because of previous performances 00:27:30.089 --> 00:27:32.369 in the tournament. But this is just a different 00:27:32.369 --> 00:27:35.769 team. They've gotten transfers who are veterans 00:27:35.769 --> 00:27:38.930 in the game of college basketball. Kelvin Sampson, 00:27:38.930 --> 00:27:41.250 one of the top coaches in the game, and it's 00:27:41.250 --> 00:27:44.690 proven strong in this tournament. And they are 00:27:44.690 --> 00:27:48.170 no team to be fucked with. And I think this national 00:27:48.170 --> 00:27:50.549 championship game could be one for the ages. 00:27:50.650 --> 00:27:53.670 It could be. It could be. And we'll find out 00:27:53.670 --> 00:27:55.430 on Monday night. We're going to find out on Monday 00:27:55.430 --> 00:27:57.230 night. And by the time the next episode after 00:27:57.230 --> 00:28:01.250 this comes out. That's it. We're gonna know who 00:28:01.250 --> 00:28:03.369 the national championship and I'll tell you one 00:28:03.369 --> 00:28:07.650 thing if Florida wins. Oh My god, you're gonna 00:28:07.650 --> 00:28:12.309 be hearing a lot from me if Florida loses You're 00:28:12.309 --> 00:28:15.009 gonna be hearing very little for me You can't 00:28:15.009 --> 00:28:17.670 be like that. No because here's the thing at 00:28:17.670 --> 00:28:19.809 the end of day if we if we get beat we get beat 00:28:19.809 --> 00:28:22.829 Houston's a great team. I have nothing against 00:28:22.829 --> 00:28:29.029 Houston. I respect Houston But Florida's better 00:28:29.029 --> 00:28:32.279 than Houston We're gonna find out Monday night 00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:36.000 floor is a better on paper What I've watched 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:38.019 floor is a better team than Houston and that's 00:28:38.019 --> 00:28:40.519 why I laid down the biggest bet of my life. So 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:45.920 We're gonna find out we're gonna see and I am 00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:48.619 very excited for this matchup.

Yeah. 00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:36.099 One. Literally four years of college that I shipped 00:30:36.099 --> 00:30:38.039 off. Sally Mae Loans. Here you go. Pew, pew. 00:30:38.279 --> 00:30:41.119 I'll pay you off. It's a brand new car. I mean, 00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:43.359 I'm thinking about what else I'm just thinking 00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:46.019 about it to him. Does he like he's got to be 00:30:46.019 --> 00:30:48.339 mad. But like to him, does that was that money 00:30:48.339 --> 00:30:50.240 mean to him? I don't know, what's his contract, 00:30:50.380 --> 00:30:53.980 like over 200 mil? I mean, realistically, think 00:30:53.980 --> 00:30:56.299 about how much stuff you could do with $75 ,000. 00:30:56.779 --> 00:30:59.839 That brings you back to the point of how stupid 00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:02.180 the amount of money these guys make for playing 00:31:02.180 --> 00:31:03.440 basketball. Oh, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. 00:31:03.579 --> 00:31:05.359 I mean, you've got to look at just, I know we 00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:08.880 talked contracts last week and how stupid baseball 00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:11.240 money is, but NBA money's ridiculous, too. I 00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:14.960 mean, does he get to appeal that at all, that 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:17.490 $75 ,000, or they just... How does that work? 00:31:17.769 --> 00:31:19.710 Does he just pay that up front? Like, hey, we're 00:31:19.710 --> 00:31:22.109 fine. Where does that money even go? Probably 00:31:22.109 --> 00:31:23.869 just in the league's pockets. In the league's 00:31:23.869 --> 00:31:25.109 pockets. And what do they do with it? I don't 00:31:25.109 --> 00:31:28.150 know. That's just crazy to me. And the amount 00:31:28.150 --> 00:31:30.329 of fines that are racked up for all these players, 00:31:30.430 --> 00:31:33.470 just for small things here and there, that money's 00:31:33.470 --> 00:31:34.670 got to add up. Where's all that money going? 00:31:34.670 --> 00:31:36.710 We were doing research. You don't realize how 00:31:36.710 --> 00:31:38.710 many players. Because here's the thing. The reason 00:31:38.710 --> 00:31:40.589 why John Morant's news is because he's had problems 00:31:40.589 --> 00:31:42.509 with guns in the past. But if you go and look 00:31:42.509 --> 00:31:45.029 at the list of people who have been fined, they 00:31:45.029 --> 00:31:48.009 fine a lot of people. The NBA is handing out 00:31:48.009 --> 00:31:50.170 fines like it's damn monopoly money. Left and 00:31:50.170 --> 00:31:53.410 right. I know. It's like damn, you can't even 00:31:53.410 --> 00:31:55.990 catch a break. You do something, you swear, you 00:31:55.990 --> 00:32:00.170 get fined. You can make a whole S tier to B tier 00:32:00.170 --> 00:32:03.609 to D tier list of player fines just since January, 00:32:03.630 --> 00:32:06.309 I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Well, all time I got a 00:32:06.309 --> 00:32:09.509 couple S tier picks. And I kind of want to go 00:32:09.509 --> 00:32:12.960 into them. Yeah, I guess this is an unplanned 00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:16.140 draft we're about to do of NBA player fines this 00:32:16.140 --> 00:32:18.119 season. Not really a draft, but just kind of 00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:19.859 talking about - Not just a season, all time. 00:32:20.019 --> 00:32:21.980 All time. You got some all -timers. I got some 00:32:21.980 --> 00:32:23.839 all -timers. I'm okay with some all -timers. 00:32:23.900 --> 00:32:25.660 I can't say that I was prepared for the all -timers. 00:32:25.660 --> 00:32:27.480 That's fine. I'll let you at the back door. We're 00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:29.079 good with that. Alright, I'm gonna lead off 1 00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:34.680 -1. J .R. Smith got fined $50 ,000 for untying 00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.740 somebody's shoes at the free throw line. This 00:32:37.740 --> 00:32:40.480 is according to what is this NBA PR? Yeah, according 00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:43.079 to NBA PR. So this is legitimate sourcing right 00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:47.740 here Untie the next he untied the player shoe 00:32:47.740 --> 00:32:53.000 and he got fine 50 ,000 beans gone. See ya I'm 00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:55.680 just I still I can't even fathom like what do 00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:58.799 they do with that? Is there research out there 00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:00.940 about what the NBA does with that money? I mean 00:33:00.940 --> 00:33:02.700 they don't put it back into the league What are 00:33:02.700 --> 00:33:05.279 they doing for the league that would? I mean, 00:33:05.339 --> 00:33:08.220 it's got to be it's got to be stuff like PR and 00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:11.599 it's they got to put it to promoting their brand 00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:14.119 advertising brand deals. I mean, there's got 00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:17.559 to be multiple things that the league uses this 00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:19.859 money for. And I'll tell you one thing. It ain't 00:33:19.859 --> 00:33:22.339 going into the value of the game because viewership 00:33:22.339 --> 00:33:25.900 is down. It's not like they're using it for for 00:33:25.900 --> 00:33:27.940 good purposes that are making more people watch. 00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:31.619 I mean, that that's a heavily debated topic. 00:33:31.619 --> 00:33:35.279 And I think. And this has been discussed before 00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.700 per other podcast. I've was it too. But the reason 00:33:37.700 --> 00:33:40.359 viewership is down is because you could see everything 00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:42.420 via social media nowadays. I mean, you could 00:33:42.420 --> 00:33:45.240 go on TikTok and watching a two and a half minute 00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:47.299 clip of Anthony Edwards highlights for the week. 00:33:47.299 --> 00:33:48.779 And then you're pretty much all caught up. Then 00:33:48.779 --> 00:33:50.599 you look at the standings. It's a long season, 00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:53.319 82 game season. And I just don't think people 00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:54.740 are sitting down to watch the games every night. 00:33:54.740 --> 00:33:56.880 But that's another topic for another day. But 00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:59.359 that also leads to all these games and 82 game 00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:01.220 season. That does lead to some serious fines 00:34:01.220 --> 00:34:04.549 throughout the year. Oh, yeah, 100%. All right, 00:34:04.910 --> 00:34:08.030 I got to tell you one two For me you go ahead 00:34:08.030 --> 00:34:09.690 and just take this cuz you're you're a little 00:34:09.690 --> 00:34:11.909 bit more prepared than I am I'll tell you one 00:34:11.909 --> 00:34:18.969 thing David Khan What year is this? 2010 2010 00:34:18.969 --> 00:34:21.750 so okay, go ahead and say what you're gonna say 00:34:21.750 --> 00:34:25.829 He got fined $50 ,000 for saying Michael Beasley 00:34:25.829 --> 00:34:30.880 smoked too much marijuana And nowadays that's 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:32.920 nothing nothing. I mean they can openly say that 00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:35.559 now. Does he get that money refunded? Like hey, 00:34:35.579 --> 00:34:37.440 do you get like kind of like Reggie Bush getting 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:40.000 his husband back? You get your 50k back 50k back 00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:44.360 in 50k in 2010. What's that worth now? It's got 00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:46.400 somebody smoke too much pot. It's gotta be ridiculous. 00:34:46.539 --> 00:34:48.739 That's crazy I mean all these players are playing 00:34:48.739 --> 00:34:50.460 stony baloney. Now. Here's another one. You ready 00:34:50.460 --> 00:34:56.219 for this one? This one's great Vladimir Radmanovic 00:34:56.219 --> 00:35:01.880 for the Lakers 2007 All -Star weekend He got 00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:04.940 fined $500 ,000 because during the All -Star 00:35:04.940 --> 00:35:10.679 500 500 birds 500 ,000 half a mill half a million 00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:15.119 half a million Sold gone see ya cuz he went snowboarding 00:35:15.119 --> 00:35:16.980 and separated his shoulder and missed the rest 00:35:16.980 --> 00:35:20.199 of season Wow turn the all -star break That's 00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:21.920 a bold move. And you gotta think, I never even 00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:25.260 heard of Vladimir Redmanovich. Yeah, his contract 00:35:25.260 --> 00:35:26.659 probably wasn't anything. That's what I'm saying. 00:35:26.739 --> 00:35:28.619 So that $500 ,000 was probably all of his earnings. 00:35:29.579 --> 00:35:31.099 I mean, you gotta think, you gotta think, a lot 00:35:31.099 --> 00:35:34.320 of these players on these smaller deals, these 00:35:34.320 --> 00:35:36.719 fines hit hard. Like, I know they're still making 00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:39.619 millions of dollars. Forgive me for saying it's 00:35:39.619 --> 00:35:41.860 bad to them, but still, it's like, it's like, 00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:43.719 you know, if I got fined a hundred bucks, I'd 00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:46.079 be pissed. Yeah, well, everything's scaled differently. 00:35:46.099 --> 00:35:48.400 Yeah, it's scaled differently. And these players... 00:35:48.909 --> 00:35:53.349 I think who make less money are... How do I say 00:35:53.349 --> 00:35:57.309 this? They're less of a character on TV or in 00:35:57.309 --> 00:36:01.329 interviews or on the court because they're more 00:36:01.329 --> 00:36:03.510 conscientious of what kind of money they have. 00:36:04.010 --> 00:36:06.909 A player like John Morant, who signed a 200 plus 00:36:06.909 --> 00:36:09.690 million dollar contract, is not afraid to throw 00:36:09.690 --> 00:36:11.269 up the guns because he doesn't give a fuck. Yeah, 00:36:11.349 --> 00:36:14.030 whatever. Who cares? Players who want to criticize 00:36:14.030 --> 00:36:15.670 the officials in the post -game interview because 00:36:15.670 --> 00:36:17.719 they didn't get a call late in the game. and 00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:22.539 get fined $25 ,000, so be it. But to other players, 00:36:22.619 --> 00:36:25.039 like you said, the guys, the 9th, 10th, 11th 00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:27.840 man on the roster, they don't have money to throw 00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:29.179 around like that. And it's also the fact that 00:36:29.179 --> 00:36:31.099 they're not in the game. So they're not really 00:36:31.099 --> 00:36:32.639 thinking the same way that an Anthony Edwards 00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:35.420 or John Morant would be thinking. These guys 00:36:35.420 --> 00:36:36.719 that are at the end of the bench are just kind 00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:38.679 of there chilling. If they're up 30, then they're 00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:40.039 in the game. But nobody's going to complain to 00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:42.219 the officials when you're up 30. No, never. Because 00:36:42.219 --> 00:36:44.340 here's the thing. It's risk versus reward. You 00:36:44.340 --> 00:36:47.820 know what I'm saying? To be fair NBA money's 00:36:47.820 --> 00:36:50.239 it's fuck you money like it's I got if you're 00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:52.000 a top tier player top tier player But that's 00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:53.699 what I'm saying so they have the ability to just 00:36:53.699 --> 00:36:56.440 throw it away because Do you think these guys 00:36:56.440 --> 00:36:59.519 feel remorse after they get find that money like 00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:00.980 do they put their head on the pillow at night? 00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:04.900 And think goddamn that's 75 Geez, I just wiped 00:37:04.900 --> 00:37:07.820 my ass. Oh, they have to be dude if you lose 00:37:07.820 --> 00:37:09.500 a hundred dollar parlay You're going to bed thinking 00:37:09.500 --> 00:37:12.309 about it. No No, I'm not really a hundred dollars. 00:37:12.449 --> 00:37:14.250 Whatever. I mean blue cheese comes that it comes 00:37:14.250 --> 00:37:16.550 a ghost blue cheese. It's paper Yeah, blue cheese, 00:37:16.550 --> 00:37:19.789 you know a little two chains. That's why listen 00:37:19.789 --> 00:37:22.610 all I'm saying is it's it's a heat of the moment 00:37:22.610 --> 00:37:25.730 thing and Like I said on the podcast last week. 00:37:25.750 --> 00:37:27.889 I play basketball So I know what happens when 00:37:27.889 --> 00:37:30.469 you're in the heat of the moment. Albeit I play 00:37:30.469 --> 00:37:32.170 in a men's league. That's not even comparable 00:37:32.170 --> 00:37:34.170 to the NBA I'm out there bumming it with dudes 00:37:34.170 --> 00:37:36.719 who have been playing for 20 years just out of 00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:38.280 there getting their one point washed up Jerry 00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:40.860 who's got two headbands on the sweat? Yeah, just 00:37:40.860 --> 00:37:43.360 sweat band you know and that's fine But he's 00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:46.239 got a nasty, but even so like I get in the games 00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:49.119 and these games mean nothing It's a seven game 00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:50.480 season. What do you get at the end of it? You 00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:53.239 get a fucking plastic trophy Yeah, congrats. 00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:55.099 You're just out there to have a good time But 00:37:55.099 --> 00:37:56.800 at the end of the day if it's a close game, and 00:37:56.800 --> 00:37:58.699 I'm not getting cold I'm gonna say my piece. 00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:00.579 Yeah, it happened to me on Wednesday. I see you 00:38:00.579 --> 00:38:02.909 get nasty on the court. I got ejected Wednesday. 00:38:02.949 --> 00:38:05.809 You got ejected? I got, yeah, pieced out of there. 00:38:07.010 --> 00:38:08.190 The refs weren't giving me the calls. What'd 00:38:08.190 --> 00:38:13.690 you say? I've been playing in the same league 00:38:13.690 --> 00:38:15.469 for seven years. This is getting a little bit 00:38:15.469 --> 00:38:17.030 off track. This is a little bit of a ramble, 00:38:17.030 --> 00:38:20.230 but it kind of ties into the fines. There's one 00:38:20.230 --> 00:38:22.190 ref, me and him know what the deal is. We don't 00:38:22.190 --> 00:38:24.730 like each other. Way back, since high school. 00:38:24.889 --> 00:38:28.909 We got beef and we know how it is. So I get a 00:38:28.909 --> 00:38:31.840 foul early on and it was all ball. I went for 00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:33.400 a steal. I already had one foul in the game. 00:38:33.420 --> 00:38:36.159 My first foul of the game. It was a bad foul. 00:38:36.340 --> 00:38:40.280 Fine. You only get five fouls in a game. Second 00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:42.440 play of the game. Early in the first half, I 00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:44.480 go for a steal. Literally all ball. Ripped it 00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:46.960 from the kid. First team, all defense. And he 00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:48.400 called a foul? Cookies and milk. Cookies and 00:38:48.400 --> 00:38:50.420 milk. And he called a foul. Blew the whistle. 00:38:52.099 --> 00:38:54.480 And I look at him like that was all ball. He's 00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:57.940 like, no. And the guy, his back was turning to 00:38:57.940 --> 00:38:59.840 me. And the other ref didn't say anything. And 00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:02.179 then I had a, from there on I had a problem because 00:39:02.179 --> 00:39:04.119 that puts me in foul trouble and I need to be 00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:07.119 on the court. So later in the game, I'm just, 00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:09.159 I'm chirping at him. I'm like, yo guys, where 00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:10.940 are foul calls away? I'm getting hit in the face, 00:39:10.940 --> 00:39:13.000 driving lane, no free throws. They're going down 00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:14.980 on the other end, tit -tat fouls. Free throw 00:39:14.980 --> 00:39:16.739 count was like 10 to two. I'm like, really guys? 00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:18.239 I was like, what the fuck are we doing here? 00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:22.340 I get to the free throw line, finally. 10 minutes 00:39:22.340 --> 00:39:24.659 into the half after getting my ass whooped in 00:39:24.659 --> 00:39:28.219 the lane. I, I... Took the ball and I bounced 00:39:28.219 --> 00:39:30.639 it at the official because I had to I passed 00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:33.539 in the ball He blows his whistle. He goes warning 00:39:33.539 --> 00:39:37.980 on number 36. Yes. I'm number 36. I have He goes 00:39:37.980 --> 00:39:42.119 whistle on 36 and I'm like for what he goes Warning 00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:44.280 for bouncing the ball at me too. I'm like, what 00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:46.380 the fuck are you talking about? I was like I 00:39:46.380 --> 00:39:48.219 was just passing the ball back to you because 00:39:48.219 --> 00:39:50.079 You needed to give it back to me to shoot the 00:39:50.079 --> 00:39:52.960 free throw. We got beef. That's what it was So 00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:55.730 we get late in the game It's it's a dogfight, 00:39:55.750 --> 00:39:57.369 you know, I want to win the game for my guys 00:39:57.369 --> 00:39:59.630 Not just me personally, but as a team I want 00:39:59.630 --> 00:40:01.690 to win the game and we're on the free throw line 00:40:01.690 --> 00:40:06.349 and at this point We were that I mean it was 00:40:06.349 --> 00:40:08.389 it was game over we weren't coming back We were 00:40:08.389 --> 00:40:10.170 down ten with about two minutes left and I was 00:40:10.170 --> 00:40:13.030 like, alright, let me get my piece off here So 00:40:13.030 --> 00:40:15.309 I look at my teammate, you know other guy grabs 00:40:15.309 --> 00:40:18.690 an offensive rebound they get fouled and my teammate 00:40:18.690 --> 00:40:20.630 was talking to me and I looked at at the ref 00:40:20.630 --> 00:40:22.719 dead in the face and I'm like Don't worry about 00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:24.340 it they only know how to call the game one way 00:40:24.340 --> 00:40:28.900 anyways. Oh and that was it that was it for me. 00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:33.519 Jersey was off. I was on time my shoes with two 00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:36.179 minutes left in the game. But I can relate to 00:40:36.179 --> 00:40:38.420 these players cuz I mean when I mean when I got 00:40:38.420 --> 00:40:40.179 home that night I'm like alright it's immensely 00:40:40.179 --> 00:40:42.400 game and that was a little bit ridiculous I probably 00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:44.900 shouldn't be getting my ass thrown out of immensely 00:40:44.900 --> 00:40:47.800 game. But you gotta say your piece every once 00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:50.599 in a while. Dude, trust me. It's the art of competition. 00:40:50.780 --> 00:40:52.699 You get me on a cornhole game on the front porch 00:40:52.699 --> 00:40:56.340 with random Jerry down the street. I'm getting 00:40:56.340 --> 00:40:58.500 into it. The difference is... They're gonna chirp. 00:40:58.539 --> 00:41:00.800 I'm gonna chirp. I'm competitive by nature. It 00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:02.400 doesn't matter what you're playing. It could 00:41:02.400 --> 00:41:05.079 be cornhole. It could be freaking pool basketball. 00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:07.320 The only difference between the NBA players getting 00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:10.219 these fines and me is that they're making millions 00:41:10.219 --> 00:41:12.440 playing the game and I'm paying $100 to play 00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:16.099 20 minutes down the road against them. And you're 00:41:16.099 --> 00:41:18.719 rinsed after it. There's nothing wrong with a 00:41:18.719 --> 00:41:21.460 little men's league action. I will say this. 00:41:22.380 --> 00:41:25.619 I think that the NBA needs to be more transparent 00:41:25.619 --> 00:41:28.059 about what they're doing with this money. Because 00:41:28.059 --> 00:41:29.800 I don't know where all this league money is going. 00:41:30.340 --> 00:41:32.019 We haven't really done our research on it, but 00:41:32.019 --> 00:41:34.440 I guess whatever they say, wherever they say 00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:36.800 it's going, probably ain't happening. Probably 00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:38.800 ain't. I mean, that's slanderous. That's a little 00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:41.719 slanderous. I mean, John Marant alone, according 00:41:41.719 --> 00:41:45.750 to NBAPR, has been... find over $100 ,000 in 00:41:45.750 --> 00:41:48.690 the last month. That is crazy. What do they do 00:41:48.690 --> 00:41:52.789 with that? I hope they pay taxes on it. Does 00:41:52.789 --> 00:41:56.210 this go back into the official salary? Do they 00:41:56.210 --> 00:41:59.650 think they use this money to pay officials and 00:41:59.650 --> 00:42:03.010 other NBA members of media and stuff? My question 00:42:03.010 --> 00:42:05.409 is, and I would love to get into the new to the 00:42:05.409 --> 00:42:08.429 nail is, do they have a quota? Is there a certain 00:42:08.429 --> 00:42:11.150 amount of money they have to fine players in 00:42:11.150 --> 00:42:13.989 a year? So I don't think so, but I'm saying what 00:42:13.989 --> 00:42:15.650 I'm saying. If they have like a bounty where 00:42:15.650 --> 00:42:17.269 it's like, all right, we got to find something 00:42:17.269 --> 00:42:18.929 like a cop and speeding tickets. Yeah, we got 00:42:18.929 --> 00:42:20.530 a fun. Yeah, like a cop and speeding tickets. 00:42:20.570 --> 00:42:22.769 We got to hit a quota this month. I always love 00:42:22.769 --> 00:42:25.650 seeing the stats to before an NBA game. It's 00:42:25.650 --> 00:42:28.250 like this team is one in 12 when this official 00:42:28.250 --> 00:42:30.349 is on the court for this game. Oh, yeah. And 00:42:30.349 --> 00:42:31.710 it happens. I mean, like you said, you're in 00:42:31.710 --> 00:42:33.809 Mensley. You got a ref you got beef with. I think 00:42:33.809 --> 00:42:35.670 these how do you think these NBA players are? 00:42:35.670 --> 00:42:37.030 They're seeing them way more than you're seeing 00:42:37.030 --> 00:42:39.880 your guy. They play 82 games a year. Yeah. When 00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:43.059 I see that ref, when I walk in for that game 00:42:43.059 --> 00:42:45.139 and I see that ref, I know it's going to be a 00:42:45.139 --> 00:42:47.380 tough one for me. Yeah. I might as well just 00:42:47.380 --> 00:42:48.960 stay outside of the paint because I'm not getting 00:42:48.960 --> 00:42:51.519 a call worth dog shit. Nothing. There was literally 00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:53.679 a play, not to backtrack, but there was literally 00:42:53.679 --> 00:42:56.119 a play where I was standing at half court and 00:42:56.119 --> 00:42:59.340 I heard the smack on my teammates wrist. No whistle. 00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:02.579 No whistle. Nothing. I'm like, what the fuck? 00:43:03.039 --> 00:43:04.860 I was like, are you guys need hearing aids or 00:43:04.860 --> 00:43:06.820 some shit? Are you not watching the game? Do 00:43:06.820 --> 00:43:08.139 you need glasses? Do you need hearing aids? Show 00:43:08.139 --> 00:43:09.280 him the arm. His arm's bright red. Yeah, show 00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:10.780 him the arm. It's fucking red. You can see the 00:43:10.780 --> 00:43:14.000 five star on it. And then we go down. The other 00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:16.760 team has a guy who was literally six foot ten. 00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:22.260 Six foot ten. Dog on your ass. And I just want 00:43:22.260 --> 00:43:24.719 to say I'm the tallest guy on our team and me 00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:26.920 trying to box him out, it's not going to work. 00:43:27.460 --> 00:43:30.559 It's not going to work. Even if I box him out 00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:33.579 and he's still got his wingspan is a foot and 00:43:33.579 --> 00:43:36.179 a half over mine I can't do anything But we go 00:43:36.179 --> 00:43:37.760 down to the other end. I'm playing as tough defense 00:43:37.760 --> 00:43:40.400 I can and they're rewarding him for missed layups. 00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:41.780 He's getting offensive remount I'm trying to 00:43:41.780 --> 00:43:43.579 go up with him and they're giving him free throws. 00:43:43.579 --> 00:43:45.780 That's ridiculous ridiculous I would lose my 00:43:45.780 --> 00:43:49.000 cool lost it. So NBA finds I just want to say 00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:52.420 I think they're a bit outrageous, but It's pretty 00:43:52.420 --> 00:43:55.639 funny. He's mutton that apparently 75k is nothing. 00:43:55.639 --> 00:43:58.199 No, I mean we knew that before but Yeah, when 00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:01.019 I saw him get fined for that again. It's just 00:44:01.019 --> 00:44:03.340 stupid man It's like how many people how many 00:44:03.340 --> 00:44:06.099 people could do a lot of shit with 75 ,000 and 00:44:06.099 --> 00:44:08.800 these guys want to point a fucking It's a whole 00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:12.940 Cadillac. It's a whole Cadillac SUV Just bores 00:44:12.940 --> 00:44:15.820 my mind man and just for shitting like interviews 00:44:15.820 --> 00:44:18.300 when they when they use profanity in interviews 00:44:18.300 --> 00:44:20.840 I think it's like automatically $25 ,000 Yeah 00:44:21.070 --> 00:44:23.949 for one slippage. I mean, people are heated after 00:44:23.949 --> 00:44:26.190 the games. These media members want interviews 00:44:26.190 --> 00:44:29.070 right after the game is over. And if it's a close 00:44:29.070 --> 00:44:31.489 game, yeah, emotions run high, man. I don't think 00:44:31.489 --> 00:44:33.730 these guys, I mean, depending on in what context 00:44:33.730 --> 00:44:36.269 they use the words in, I'm sure they get fine 00:44:36.269 --> 00:44:39.389 more depending on what they said. But either 00:44:39.389 --> 00:44:41.050 way, these guys are in the spur of the moment. 00:44:41.210 --> 00:44:42.889 They're heated up there. The emotions are running 00:44:42.889 --> 00:44:45.130 high in the interview them right after the game. 00:44:45.570 --> 00:44:47.090 I mean, I understand that's part of the job. 00:44:47.110 --> 00:44:49.199 These guys have to be professional. but it's 00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:52.719 still tough on these guys just just because i 00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:54.960 can relate to him even on a mens league game 00:44:54.960 --> 00:44:56.679 i can't even imagine what it feels like on an 00:44:56.679 --> 00:45:01.440 mba level oh i couldn't imagine so yeah it's 00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:03.139 interesting i'm sure we'll see more especially 00:45:03.139 --> 00:45:05.400 when the playoffs come about i mean we do need 00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:12.500 to talk some mba playoffs yeah i know sorry A 00:45:12.500 --> 00:45:14.260 little behind the scenes stuff going on over 00:45:14.260 --> 00:45:16.760 here. We need a camera on us. We need a fucking 00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:23.320 camera. He ripped ass. What are you going to 00:45:23.320 --> 00:45:29.960 do? I ate a pepper spicy chicken sandwich for 00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:31.539 a watch. It's not sitting too well over here. 00:45:31.880 --> 00:45:33.539 Oh. But yeah, we're going to get into the Knicks. 00:45:33.539 --> 00:45:35.960 We'll get into the Knicks eventually. All NBA 00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:38.219 playoffs. Yeah, all NBA playoffs. I know you 00:45:38.219 --> 00:45:41.179 guys want to hear us, so. Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe 00:45:41.179 --> 00:45:46.929 not. But, that's NBA finds, and I think they're 00:45:46.929 --> 00:45:49.190 ridiculous. Well good, I'm glad you could wrap 00:45:49.190 --> 00:45:50.690 that up. That was a perfect ending. That was 00:45:50.690 --> 00:45:53.309 a real smooth transition. But moving on from 00:45:53.309 --> 00:45:55.389 the NBA, we're gonna jump into our next topic. 00:45:55.469 --> 00:45:58.110 We actually had mentioned it last week of the 00:45:58.110 --> 00:46:02.989 four NBA, I guess, not NBA specifically, but 00:46:02.989 --> 00:46:04.889 four championship segments that we would keep 00:46:04.889 --> 00:46:06.769 out of the eight, and we're gonna get a little 00:46:06.769 --> 00:46:09.489 debate going. So stay tuned. Alright, so we brought 00:46:09.489 --> 00:46:13.130 this up last week, but... I wanna just lay it 00:46:13.130 --> 00:46:14.949 out for you. I wanna put it on the platter so 00:46:14.949 --> 00:46:16.570 you guys can visualize what we're talking about 00:46:16.570 --> 00:46:18.309 here because I think that's the best way to start 00:46:18.309 --> 00:46:22.429 and to get into this conversation. Okay, so there's 00:46:22.429 --> 00:46:25.369 eight championships out there that this list 00:46:25.369 --> 00:46:28.449 compiled. It was from Book It Sports on Instagram. 00:46:29.010 --> 00:46:30.949 That's where we got this just to give them a 00:46:30.949 --> 00:46:34.070 little credit. But you can only keep four and 00:46:34.070 --> 00:46:36.369 there's eight of them. You have the Final Four, 00:46:36.949 --> 00:46:40.469 the World Series, the Super Bowl, the Stanley 00:46:40.469 --> 00:46:44.619 Cup, the NBA Finals, the college football playoff, 00:46:45.019 --> 00:46:49.960 the Masters, and the Kentucky Derby. And I gotta 00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:51.280 say this, when I first read that list, I'm like, 00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:53.079 why is the Kentucky Derby even on here? That's 00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:54.039 what I was thinking too. We're down to seven. 00:46:54.179 --> 00:46:55.920 We're not horse guys. Yeah, we're down to seven. 00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:58.739 I mean, college football playoff, we're down 00:46:58.739 --> 00:47:01.480 to six. Well, I don't think we should start eliminating 00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:02.840 yet. I wanna start with my first elimination, 00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:04.619 because that's how I did this list. I did this 00:47:04.619 --> 00:47:06.480 list by really - You eliminated. I eliminated, 00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:09.329 and then I got to my four, and I looked. at what 00:47:09.329 --> 00:47:10.690 I was thinking of. Because I didn't think of 00:47:10.690 --> 00:47:13.949 what I loved more. I thought about what I disliked 00:47:13.949 --> 00:47:15.690 watching. What I don't care to watch, I should 00:47:15.690 --> 00:47:18.849 say. I was about to say what's on, what's on, 00:47:18.869 --> 00:47:20.769 and you're not even really tuning in. But I will 00:47:20.769 --> 00:47:23.789 say this. To me, Kentucky Derby doesn't feel... 00:47:23.789 --> 00:47:25.829 I know it's sport. I know it's sport. But to 00:47:25.829 --> 00:47:27.869 me, it doesn't feel like sport because... Can 00:47:27.869 --> 00:47:31.900 I expose you? What? You have... picture or you 00:47:31.900 --> 00:47:34.179 did on your Instagram I know of dressing up for 00:47:34.179 --> 00:47:36.260 the Kentucky Derby and doing the bourbon taste 00:47:36.260 --> 00:47:37.820 you're not letting me fucking get to my point 00:47:37.820 --> 00:47:39.619 I'm just saying you're eliminating this fucking 00:47:39.619 --> 00:47:42.440 point all right if you let me fucking explain 00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:44.739 and not cut me off I would explain to you what 00:47:44.739 --> 00:47:47.199 we're getting into runway is yours buddy the 00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:52.559 Kentucky Derby is an aura thing it is that it's 00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:55.719 the whole event you wake up in the morning and 00:47:55.719 --> 00:47:58.860 it's Derby Day you make yourself some mint juleps 00:47:59.179 --> 00:48:01.820 You get the cigars out, you put a sport coat 00:48:01.820 --> 00:48:04.539 on, you put a straw hat on, and you're ready 00:48:04.539 --> 00:48:07.519 to go. And you spend the whole day chilling, 00:48:07.900 --> 00:48:09.800 hanging out. I know some people that go to events 00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:12.780 at country clubs to watch it. It's like, to me, 00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:14.559 it's not more about the race. Because at the 00:48:14.559 --> 00:48:16.099 end of the day, the race is what, two minutes? 00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:19.579 It's two minutes. You know what I'm saying? So 00:48:19.579 --> 00:48:24.440 to me, it's more about all the other shit that's 00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:26.500 around the race. Because when the race is on, 00:48:26.900 --> 00:48:29.929 you could go pee. You could have to go pee, come 00:48:29.929 --> 00:48:31.710 back, and a race is over. Race is done. Done. 00:48:32.429 --> 00:48:36.849 So to me, the whole, I'm trying to look for the 00:48:36.849 --> 00:48:40.130 word I'm thinking of. I said are, but I don't 00:48:40.130 --> 00:48:42.929 think that's right. But it's the whole scheme 00:48:42.929 --> 00:48:47.869 of it. It's not a sport to me. It's more of an 00:48:47.869 --> 00:48:50.090 event. It's an event. And you dress up for it. 00:48:50.090 --> 00:48:52.250 You have the mint juleps. So when I saw it, it 00:48:52.250 --> 00:48:53.590 was like a championship that everybody talks 00:48:53.590 --> 00:48:55.269 about. Yeah, I love the Kentucky Derby. Don't 00:48:55.269 --> 00:48:58.300 get me wrong. Derby day is fun. But to me, If 00:48:58.300 --> 00:49:01.780 I didn't have it, I'd be okay. I don't go thinking 00:49:01.780 --> 00:49:03.599 about the Kentucky Derby two weeks before it 00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:05.840 starts. And I know horse lovers probably do. 00:49:06.139 --> 00:49:09.659 But I will say, I never think about the Kentucky 00:49:09.659 --> 00:49:11.420 Derby until like the Friday before. I'm like, 00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:13.820 oh shit, the Derby's this weekend. Let me figure 00:49:13.820 --> 00:49:15.300 out what I'm gonna do. It's not something, I 00:49:15.300 --> 00:49:17.659 don't know the horses. No. You know what I'm 00:49:17.659 --> 00:49:19.480 saying? But horses are big for a lot of people. 00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:21.320 A lot of people. So I apologize to you horse 00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:25.179 lovers. No offense. Derby's out. Yeah, I think 00:49:25.179 --> 00:49:27.440 I would have to agree. I'm not really the whole 00:49:27.710 --> 00:49:30.230 Dress up nice and preppy and put my flower fucking 00:49:30.230 --> 00:49:32.969 suit on, you know? I'd like to. Yeah, that's 00:49:32.969 --> 00:49:35.250 fine. Like I said, you had a picture on your 00:49:35.250 --> 00:49:37.269 Instagram or you used to at least. You were probably 00:49:37.269 --> 00:49:39.210 one of those bozos that deleted your whole Instagram. 00:49:39.789 --> 00:49:41.170 I was one of those bozos. You were one of those 00:49:41.170 --> 00:49:43.250 clowns. I was. For what reason? Did you think 00:49:43.250 --> 00:49:45.369 you're cool because you got six posts? Yeah, 00:49:45.929 --> 00:49:49.510 I do. What's the difference? It's my presentation 00:49:49.510 --> 00:49:51.469 of myself singing with a linden. That's crazy. 00:49:51.710 --> 00:49:54.510 Look, whatever. IG, LinkedIn. I also want to 00:49:54.510 --> 00:49:56.010 eliminate the college football playoffs. Yeah. 00:49:56.070 --> 00:49:57.429 Oh, yeah. Get it out of here. The championship 00:49:57.429 --> 00:50:00.010 game, the championship game specifically. The 00:50:00.010 --> 00:50:02.989 actual playoff itself is fun. And this might 00:50:02.989 --> 00:50:05.849 be a hot take, but the actual championship game 00:50:05.849 --> 00:50:09.530 just seems to suck ass. What was TCU Georgia? 00:50:09.769 --> 00:50:12.630 65 to 7? And this year kind of sucked, too. I 00:50:12.630 --> 00:50:15.050 mean. Yeah, Ohio State just dominated. Well, 00:50:15.369 --> 00:50:17.329 Notre Dame made a little bit of a comeback. Yeah. 00:50:17.329 --> 00:50:23.059 But still. The playoff itself is more fun Than 00:50:23.059 --> 00:50:25.219 the national title game. I think the national 00:50:25.219 --> 00:50:27.260 title game like we talked about just on a Monday 00:50:27.260 --> 00:50:29.980 night Late and nobody really ever seems to give 00:50:29.980 --> 00:50:31.679 a shit about it and you don't really even know 00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:34.059 what's going on Yeah, the actual playoff itself 00:50:34.059 --> 00:50:36.659 like the Rose Bowl the Orange Bowl the Fiesta 00:50:36.659 --> 00:50:39.559 Bowl The playoff games leading up to that are 00:50:39.559 --> 00:50:41.480 much more fun. So I want to get that off the 00:50:41.480 --> 00:50:44.099 list. Yeah, get it off the list. I Totally agree 00:50:44.099 --> 00:50:45.440 with you, because here's the thing, when the 00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:46.940 college 12 play, and maybe it's because both 00:50:46.940 --> 00:50:48.940 of our football teams have never been in it since 00:50:48.940 --> 00:50:52.179 it's existed since 2015. South Carolina got snubbed. 00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:56.159 But Florida, or Syracuse right behind them. We 00:50:56.159 --> 00:50:57.460 finished literally right next to each other in 00:50:57.460 --> 00:50:59.340 the rankings. We were fucking high fiving in 00:50:59.340 --> 00:51:01.719 the rankings. But I will say this, I think our 00:51:01.719 --> 00:51:03.059 fandom does have a little bit to do with it because 00:51:03.059 --> 00:51:05.079 we haven't had that kind of energy to watch those 00:51:05.079 --> 00:51:08.139 games. But to me, it's just, I don't know, I 00:51:08.139 --> 00:51:09.820 really thought the 12 team playoff would be more 00:51:09.820 --> 00:51:12.829 interesting, but those first round games. I couldn't 00:51:12.829 --> 00:51:14.789 give a shit less. I mean, I was like, whatever. 00:51:14.969 --> 00:51:16.829 This is fine. So yeah, I agree with you, eliminate 00:51:16.829 --> 00:51:19.989 it. Alright, so I think at that point those were 00:51:19.989 --> 00:51:21.630 our two firsts that were like, alright, it's 00:51:21.630 --> 00:51:24.010 gone. We can't - Now I wanna debate. Now it's 00:51:24.010 --> 00:51:25.650 time to debate because we have some different 00:51:25.650 --> 00:51:27.769 opinions. Because I know what you're about to 00:51:27.769 --> 00:51:29.849 say for your next elimination and it fucking 00:51:29.849 --> 00:51:32.269 bothers the shit out of me. Well, it's gonna 00:51:32.269 --> 00:51:34.710 be the Masters. Yeah. But I'm not a golf guy. 00:51:35.469 --> 00:51:37.980 That's fucking heinous. It's not heinous. It's 00:51:37.980 --> 00:51:40.719 not. No, it's not. It's not. Let me let me say 00:51:40.719 --> 00:51:43.039 let me talk. That's blasphemy. It's not the fact 00:51:43.039 --> 00:51:45.440 that I don't like the Masters. That has nothing 00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:48.940 to do with it at all. It's just the idea that 00:51:48.940 --> 00:51:51.400 the other sporting events that are on this list, 00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:54.539 I would rather watch. I don't ever catch myself 00:51:54.539 --> 00:51:58.059 watching the Saturday round of the Masters. No, 00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:00.199 I don't catch myself watching the Friday round. 00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:02.500 I'm going to tune in Sunday when they're down 00:52:02.500 --> 00:52:05.710 to the wire and it's the last three eyes. That's 00:52:05.710 --> 00:52:08.090 what I'm tuning in now. Then this is criminal 00:52:08.090 --> 00:52:10.690 for me to say to you, which is fine Go ahead 00:52:10.690 --> 00:52:12.510 and put me on blast, but I'm allowed to have 00:52:12.510 --> 00:52:16.190 my own opinion He's just shaking his head this 00:52:16.190 --> 00:52:17.769 is why we need a video feed because the look 00:52:17.769 --> 00:52:20.710 of disgust on his face I just when you said this 00:52:20.710 --> 00:52:22.010 when you said this to me before we start filming 00:52:22.010 --> 00:52:24.849 this I actually like a blood vessel came out 00:52:24.849 --> 00:52:28.750 in my head because it's like I Just don't think 00:52:28.750 --> 00:52:33.469 you comprehend the amount of competition and 00:52:33.469 --> 00:52:37.300 the amount of Love that is that golfers have 00:52:37.300 --> 00:52:39.639 you tearing up? Yeah a little bit you're fucking 00:52:39.639 --> 00:52:42.179 tear. I'm angry because it annoys me because 00:52:42.179 --> 00:52:46.800 the Masters is It's the goal. It's the goal just 00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:48.860 it's number one. It's one one for me I would 00:52:48.860 --> 00:52:50.940 if I had to give up all sporting that's my entire 00:52:50.940 --> 00:52:53.599 life and keep my man it March Madness is below 00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:56.380 the Masters. Oh, that's cool. Oh crazy blow, 00:52:56.380 --> 00:53:02.519 but It is peak that's a ridiculous statement 00:53:02.519 --> 00:53:04.710 to make It's not a ridiculous statement to make. 00:53:04.949 --> 00:53:07.070 That you want to have Masters over March Madness? 00:53:07.090 --> 00:53:11.090 Yes. That's just absurd. No, it's not. When you 00:53:11.090 --> 00:53:12.869 understand the game of golf, like I understand 00:53:12.869 --> 00:53:15.389 the game of golf, which is not, I'm not an expert, 00:53:15.849 --> 00:53:17.789 but I love the game. I have grown up playing 00:53:17.789 --> 00:53:20.809 the game. Hell, we're going golfing right after 00:53:20.809 --> 00:53:23.190 we film this podcast. Yeah, but that's fine. 00:53:23.269 --> 00:53:25.730 But what I'm saying is that this is peak golf. 00:53:25.969 --> 00:53:28.849 There is nothing better. You could literally, 00:53:29.730 --> 00:53:32.559 you could do anything. You can put anything on 00:53:32.559 --> 00:53:35.920 the TV. If the Masters is on, I'm gone. We were 00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:38.400 talking about this the other day. I was talking 00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:40.440 to, talking to this one of my buddies. If you 00:53:40.440 --> 00:53:42.739 had the chance to play them in the Masters, but 00:53:42.739 --> 00:53:44.119 your wedding was that Saturday, would you skip 00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:45.579 the wedding? We both said, yeah, we'd skip the 00:53:45.579 --> 00:53:48.000 wedding. That's absurd. I just don't think you, 00:53:48.079 --> 00:53:49.739 I don't think you'd comprehend Augusta National. 00:53:49.800 --> 00:53:52.360 First off, one of the most beautiful places on 00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:54.820 earth. That's fine. I've seen the venue. The 00:53:54.820 --> 00:53:57.579 second, the competition, the best players in 00:53:57.579 --> 00:53:59.980 the world, the best golfers of all time throughout 00:53:59.980 --> 00:54:03.070 the years have touched that grass. They have 00:54:03.070 --> 00:54:05.710 played on that grass. They've won on that grass. 00:54:06.489 --> 00:54:08.469 Yeah, no shit. Where else would they have won 00:54:08.469 --> 00:54:11.789 the Masters? On the grass. No shit, asshole. 00:54:12.230 --> 00:54:14.250 It's not a no shit, asshole. Yes it is. You're 00:54:14.250 --> 00:54:15.710 telling me basic shit. You're not really telling 00:54:15.710 --> 00:54:17.150 me. You're telling me it's the best competition. 00:54:17.469 --> 00:54:19.329 You're telling me, oh, all the best players have 00:54:19.329 --> 00:54:21.489 played. No shit. It's obviously the most well 00:54:21.489 --> 00:54:26.150 -renowned golf tournament in the PGA for professional 00:54:26.150 --> 00:54:29.250 golfers. Just for golfers in general, it is obviously 00:54:29.250 --> 00:54:32.639 the most popular. in the most well -renowned 00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:34.940 tournament that there is. Everybody knows that. 00:54:35.400 --> 00:54:37.440 Do you have people who are on 30 -year wait lists 00:54:37.440 --> 00:54:40.199 to go to the Super Bowl? Do you have people who 00:54:40.199 --> 00:54:41.900 are trying to get tickets their entire lives 00:54:41.900 --> 00:54:44.239 and die going to the grave, never being able 00:54:44.239 --> 00:54:46.360 to go? I have known several people that have 00:54:46.360 --> 00:54:47.920 gone to the Masters and not the Super Bowl. Because 00:54:47.920 --> 00:54:49.659 they knew somebody. Because they knew somebody. 00:54:49.880 --> 00:54:51.559 Yeah, but you can't know somebody to get to the 00:54:51.559 --> 00:54:53.880 Super Bowl. You can't know somebody to get to 00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:55.300 the Super Bowl? That's the most outrageous comment 00:54:55.300 --> 00:54:57.440 I've ever heard? That's stupid. Who do you know 00:54:57.440 --> 00:54:58.780 that has gone to the Super Bowl? I don't know. 00:54:59.250 --> 00:55:01.250 Nobody. Exactly. How many people do you know 00:55:01.250 --> 00:55:04.210 going to the Masters? Yeah. Okay. But I will 00:55:04.210 --> 00:55:08.429 say this. It is the lottery system. There's no 00:55:08.429 --> 00:55:09.690 other sporting event that has a lottery system 00:55:09.690 --> 00:55:11.449 just to get tickets to go. You can't have your 00:55:11.449 --> 00:55:13.369 phones in there because you have to appreciate 00:55:13.369 --> 00:55:15.610 what it's worth. Absolutely. I agree with that. 00:55:15.769 --> 00:55:21.110 There is so much love for this event from me 00:55:21.110 --> 00:55:23.409 that I'm like pissed off that you left it out. 00:55:23.510 --> 00:55:25.210 Like I'm like genuinely pissed off about it. 00:55:25.210 --> 00:55:27.309 It's just because I'm not a I'm not a golfer. 00:55:27.429 --> 00:55:29.429 I like to go when I play golf. It doesn't matter. 00:55:29.510 --> 00:55:31.170 I like to have a couple beers thrown us in. Have 00:55:31.170 --> 00:55:33.610 a good time. Yeah, that's it. You're out there 00:55:33.610 --> 00:55:35.429 for the good times. You're out there for the 00:55:35.429 --> 00:55:40.050 bro time. I can't ever fathom trying to play 00:55:40.050 --> 00:55:43.289 golf at such a serious level like that. And that's 00:55:43.289 --> 00:55:45.789 fine. That's where I lack. And I'm not saying 00:55:45.789 --> 00:55:47.650 I don't like the Masters. I never said that. 00:55:47.750 --> 00:55:50.329 I'm not discrediting what the Masters is. But 00:55:50.329 --> 00:55:52.230 you don't even think it's top four. All I'm saying 00:55:52.230 --> 00:55:55.210 is that I think that the other events that are 00:55:55.210 --> 00:55:58.090 on the list are better because I enjoy watching 00:55:58.090 --> 00:56:00.829 them more and I relate to them more. That's fair. 00:56:01.329 --> 00:56:03.170 There's nothing wrong with that. I just I'm just 00:56:03.170 --> 00:56:05.110 disappointed as your brother. OK, so what the 00:56:05.110 --> 00:56:06.289 fuck are you going to leave out as your next? 00:56:06.309 --> 00:56:08.269 You go ahead and just berate me. What are you 00:56:08.269 --> 00:56:10.369 kicking out? Oh, you're going to you're going 00:56:10.369 --> 00:56:12.289 to hate me for this one. If you're going to say 00:56:12.289 --> 00:56:14.289 the NBA final, I'm leaving out the NBA finals. 00:56:15.190 --> 00:56:16.690 I'm leaving out the NBA. This is where we're 00:56:16.690 --> 00:56:19.010 on opposite ends of the spectrum. So tell me 00:56:19.010 --> 00:56:21.170 why you're eliminating the NBA finals. I haven't 00:56:21.170 --> 00:56:24.639 watched. I haven't watched more than one. clip 00:56:24.639 --> 00:56:28.760 of an NBA finals like any games in like five 00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:31.039 years I mean if it's on I'll watch it in the 00:56:31.039 --> 00:56:35.099 background but I couldn't that ball like Boston 00:56:35.099 --> 00:56:36.800 when the Celtics played the Warriors I didn't 00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:38.639 watch a single game because I was like this sucks 00:56:38.639 --> 00:56:40.639 I don't want to watch it in 2020 the product 00:56:40.639 --> 00:56:44.079 is not good that's very false the product's not 00:56:44.079 --> 00:56:46.179 good there has been so many maybe I'm a salty 00:56:46.179 --> 00:56:48.760 Knicks fan who hates watching it the last time 00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:51.849 I enjoyed watching the NBA finals was when the 00:56:51.849 --> 00:56:53.389 Cavs came back on the Warriors. That was the 00:56:53.389 --> 00:56:54.590 last time I enjoyed watching NBA Finals. Blocked 00:56:54.590 --> 00:56:55.909 by James? Yeah, blocked by James. Blocked by 00:56:55.909 --> 00:56:58.269 James. That was the last time I enjoyed the NBA 00:56:58.269 --> 00:57:00.050 Finals. I have not enjoyed a single NBA Finals 00:57:00.050 --> 00:57:02.730 since then. They're boring, dude. They're boring. 00:57:03.829 --> 00:57:06.250 I think boring is the wrong word to use. I really 00:57:06.250 --> 00:57:08.929 do. All right, last year's Finals. There's so 00:57:08.929 --> 00:57:10.829 many. Celtics, Mavericks, name me one play that 00:57:10.829 --> 00:57:13.230 stands out to you. It's not that. That's my point. 00:57:13.469 --> 00:57:15.349 Because the Celtics beat the shit out of the 00:57:15.349 --> 00:57:18.059 Mavs. And that's fine. There's gonna be, there's 00:57:18.059 --> 00:57:19.880 been Masters tournaments where it hasn't even 00:57:19.880 --> 00:57:22.380 been close. Because it's Tiger Woods. That's, 00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:24.739 yeah, okay. And the Celtics were one of the best 00:57:24.739 --> 00:57:26.480 basketball teams that we've ever seen before. 00:57:26.780 --> 00:57:30.159 Jason Tatum's not on Tiger Woods' level. Okay, 00:57:30.199 --> 00:57:32.500 you're trying to compare golf to NBA. No, scheme 00:57:32.500 --> 00:57:34.480 of your sport. Where are you ranking your sport? 00:57:34.960 --> 00:57:37.039 That doesn't matter. Basketball is a team sport. 00:57:37.260 --> 00:57:41.000 You're comparing NBA, a team of 12 guys, to fucking 00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:44.409 golf. That's not comparable. In the scheme of 00:57:44.409 --> 00:57:47.090 their sport, yes it is. Why? Tell me why. Because 00:57:47.090 --> 00:57:49.710 what they mean to the game. That's fine, but 00:57:49.710 --> 00:57:54.710 one player does not... LeBron James? Michael 00:57:54.710 --> 00:57:57.369 Jordan? Does not determine... He still has teams 00:57:57.369 --> 00:57:59.570 around him. The Bulls teams were all really good. 00:57:59.769 --> 00:58:01.829 Take them off those teams, they don't win. Of 00:58:01.829 --> 00:58:04.099 course, I'm not saying that. It's that but what 00:58:04.099 --> 00:58:06.920 I'm saying is is his team still has to play well 00:58:06.920 --> 00:58:09.500 around him case in point The mavericks have luca 00:58:09.500 --> 00:58:11.519 dancic one of the top five players in the nba 00:58:11.519 --> 00:58:13.599 in last year's finals And they still got fucking 00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:16.559 smoked It's just because boston's team was so 00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:21.000 much better and you're right. Maybe that The 00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:23.599 act of closed basketball games has not been there 00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:26.000 within the nba finals But i'm talking about the 00:58:26.000 --> 00:58:28.900 history of it mike brian being on the call blocked 00:58:28.900 --> 00:58:31.860 by james You have the 73 and 9 warriors losing 00:58:31.860 --> 00:58:34.519 the comeback to the To the calves you have the 00:58:34.519 --> 00:58:36.500 back -to -back warriors. You have the celtics 00:58:36.500 --> 00:58:38.460 trying to go for back -to -back this year and 00:58:38.460 --> 00:58:41.159 the the What I think about the nba finals is 00:58:41.159 --> 00:58:43.239 that it's always the start to summer too So it's 00:58:43.239 --> 00:58:44.980 a really good time of year for people to tune 00:58:44.980 --> 00:58:46.699 in and I know that's kind of a controversial 00:58:46.699 --> 00:58:50.420 topic But I love seeing basketball played at 00:58:50.420 --> 00:58:52.800 the highest level that it possibly could be these 00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:55.480 teams have battled all year They've been to through 00:58:55.480 --> 00:58:57.960 two months of playoffs and now they're finally 00:58:57.960 --> 00:59:00.880 At the peak of the mountain in the nba finals 00:59:00.880 --> 00:59:03.360 and there's nothing more on the line than in 00:59:03.360 --> 00:59:05.380 that moment. And that's what it comes down to. 00:59:05.699 --> 00:59:09.039 No. No. I mean, I just think you're wrong. Why? 00:59:09.280 --> 00:59:11.960 Because we know this year the Celtics are going 00:59:11.960 --> 00:59:13.780 to the NBA finals. That's not true. The Cavaliers 00:59:13.780 --> 00:59:16.000 have a very good chance to beat the Celtics. 00:59:16.159 --> 00:59:17.340 Very good chance. Very good chance. Will they? 00:59:17.760 --> 00:59:20.239 Yeah. It's going to be a great series. I would 00:59:20.239 --> 00:59:22.519 not put my bank account on the Celtics to win 00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:23.860 that series. I wouldn't. We're not talking about 00:59:23.860 --> 00:59:25.440 the NBA playoffs. We're talking about the finals. 00:59:25.760 --> 00:59:28.659 Yeah. The Cleveland Cavaliers have... I love 00:59:28.659 --> 00:59:30.460 the NBA playoffs. I have no problem with the 00:59:30.460 --> 00:59:32.880 battle. It's the actual finals themselves. There 00:59:32.880 --> 00:59:35.400 is three teams that can win the NBA finals. And 00:59:35.400 --> 00:59:37.039 no matter what, it's going to be a great team. 00:59:37.039 --> 00:59:38.519 And no matter what, I'm not going to be fucking 00:59:38.519 --> 00:59:39.880 watching because I won't care because it's not 00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:43.639 the Knicks. I love the NBA playoffs. Your points 00:59:43.639 --> 00:59:45.880 about them working towards it all season. Yeah, 00:59:45.940 --> 00:59:47.820 I love to see those first round games. I love 00:59:47.820 --> 00:59:49.699 to see those second round games. Maybe it's because 00:59:49.699 --> 00:59:51.000 I'm a salty Knicks fan who will get eliminated 00:59:51.000 --> 00:59:53.380 all the time. But once the finals hits, it's 00:59:53.380 --> 00:59:55.360 the two best teams. There's no competition. It's 00:59:55.360 --> 00:59:57.219 a blowout one way or the other. The games are 00:59:57.219 --> 00:59:58.800 enjoyable. It's not going to be like that this 00:59:58.800 --> 01:00:00.139 year, I can tell you that. You think it's going 01:00:00.139 --> 01:00:02.079 to be a close series? It's going to be between 01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:04.860 three teams. There's a 90 % chance that it's 01:00:04.860 --> 01:00:07.579 going to be between Oklahoma City and either 01:00:07.579 --> 01:00:11.059 Boston or Cleveland. And those are all well -rounded 01:00:11.059 --> 01:00:13.820 offenses with superstar players who have been 01:00:13.820 --> 01:00:15.659 there in the playoffs. And it's going to be a 01:00:15.659 --> 01:00:17.559 very fun series to watch. I'll tell you one thing. 01:00:17.860 --> 01:00:20.099 If I look to the Masters lineup, And I said, 01:00:20.219 --> 01:00:21.659 there's only these three golfers who could win. 01:00:21.780 --> 01:00:24.199 I would not enjoy it. I would not enjoy it. That's 01:00:24.199 --> 01:00:27.920 the difference, though, because when it comes 01:00:27.920 --> 01:00:30.840 to a team sport, we watch these teams all year. 01:00:31.059 --> 01:00:32.900 Anyone in the master, there's been long shots 01:00:32.900 --> 01:00:34.619 that have won the master. Danny Willett, 2016. 01:00:34.840 --> 01:00:36.960 Yeah, there's been a few teams that have made 01:00:36.960 --> 01:00:39.039 it to the NBA finals that don't necessarily deserve 01:00:39.039 --> 01:00:41.019 to be there. Nobody thought Cleveland was going 01:00:41.019 --> 01:00:43.000 to beat the Warriors and come back from a 3 -1 01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:45.500 lead. That was awesome to watch. Nobody thought 01:00:45.500 --> 01:00:47.280 that the Heat were gonna make it to the finals 01:00:47.280 --> 01:00:49.960 two seasons ago and although they got rolled 01:00:49.960 --> 01:00:52.619 over by Nicole Jokic and the Nuggets, it was 01:00:52.619 --> 01:00:54.380 still fun basketball to watch. It was cool to 01:00:54.380 --> 01:00:56.360 see the Miami Heat be there. It was cool to see 01:00:56.360 --> 01:00:58.579 the Denver Nuggets who had not won a title before 01:00:58.579 --> 01:01:01.380 win their first title and get there via one of 01:01:01.380 --> 01:01:04.440 the probably the best player in the NBA. So. 01:01:04.940 --> 01:01:06.780 These guys and the teams that they've carried 01:01:06.780 --> 01:01:08.579 on it's just such a high level basketball And 01:01:08.579 --> 01:01:10.179 I think that's the difference is that you love 01:01:10.179 --> 01:01:13.380 golf and I love basketball and these respective 01:01:13.380 --> 01:01:18.139 the NBA finals and the Masters are both the highest 01:01:18.139 --> 01:01:20.639 Levels of that sport. Yeah, but I love the NBA 01:01:20.639 --> 01:01:23.900 playoffs So what's what's different about the 01:01:23.900 --> 01:01:25.860 finals and the rest of the competition shit? 01:01:26.360 --> 01:01:29.159 It's not an enjoyable product to watch. That's 01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:30.960 why I said, in the last two NBA Finals, name 01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:33.460 me one iconic moment. One. One point that stands 01:01:33.460 --> 01:01:35.539 out to you. Name me one iconic moment from the 01:01:35.539 --> 01:01:38.860 Masters last year. When Scottie won on 18. Insane. 01:01:39.139 --> 01:01:42.019 Two years ago. There's been plenty of iconic 01:01:42.019 --> 01:01:44.139 moments. When John Rahm double bogeyed his first 01:01:44.139 --> 01:01:45.800 hole and then proceeded to rail the rest of the 01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:47.440 tournament and come back and win. But that's 01:01:47.440 --> 01:01:50.039 the whole tournament. That's not one moment. 01:01:50.300 --> 01:01:51.480 You're pointing to the whole tournament. Because 01:01:51.480 --> 01:01:53.000 here's the thing, you see the mantra of the player 01:01:53.000 --> 01:01:55.739 go down. And then for him to watch him the rest 01:01:55.739 --> 01:01:57.340 of the weekend battle back from starting two 01:01:57.340 --> 01:02:00.559 over to win the whole damn tournament. The last 01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:03.719 moment I remember from the Masters is the Tiger 01:02:03.719 --> 01:02:05.599 Woods in the playoff. That was the last one. 01:02:06.099 --> 01:02:09.699 He wasn't in the playoff. Whatever. You know 01:02:09.699 --> 01:02:11.440 what I'm saying. Like I said, I don't know golf 01:02:11.440 --> 01:02:14.269 as well as you do. but there's not one of course 01:02:14.269 --> 01:02:16.210 there's NBA it's not going to be every season 01:02:16.210 --> 01:02:18.929 the NBA finals you look towards a play and it's 01:02:18.929 --> 01:02:21.130 one iconic moment sure there is there's been 01:02:21.130 --> 01:02:23.269 plenty of them blocked by James iconic moment 01:02:23.269 --> 01:02:26.130 you have back out to Allen for three iconic moment 01:02:26.130 --> 01:02:28.610 and there's still other those moments are old 01:02:28.610 --> 01:02:30.090 enough to be in fourth grade i'm just saying 01:02:30.090 --> 01:02:31.690 that's fine but they still happen they're still 01:02:31.690 --> 01:02:34.130 within the NBA finals it's still it's part of 01:02:34.130 --> 01:02:35.989 the game it's part of history and you're saying 01:02:35.989 --> 01:02:37.710 that these i'm talking about the product recently 01:02:37.710 --> 01:02:39.510 the product recently okay i'll give you the fact 01:02:39.510 --> 01:02:41.570 that the past two NBA finals have not been close 01:02:41.719 --> 01:02:43.760 They haven't been. So why would I put it in my 01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:45.820 top four? Why? We're not talking about whether 01:02:45.820 --> 01:02:47.280 or not I want the NBA finals to exist. Of course 01:02:47.280 --> 01:02:49.559 I do. I'm not saying, just like you said with 01:02:49.559 --> 01:02:51.809 the Masters. I'm not saying I hate the NBA Finals. 01:02:52.010 --> 01:02:53.730 I'm just saying it's not my top four. So the 01:02:53.730 --> 01:02:55.929 Masters were closed last year, right? Yes. What 01:02:55.929 --> 01:02:58.230 about in previous five seasons? Previous five 01:02:58.230 --> 01:03:00.909 tournaments? How many have been closed? How many 01:03:00.909 --> 01:03:03.010 of them have you gotten to the 18th hole, and 01:03:03.010 --> 01:03:04.389 you're like, holy shit, this is coming out of 01:03:04.389 --> 01:03:06.030 the water? Here's the thing. It doesn't matter 01:03:06.030 --> 01:03:07.670 because. It does matter because that's what you're 01:03:07.670 --> 01:03:10.230 saying about the NBA Finals. No. The last blowout 01:03:10.230 --> 01:03:13.130 Masters was when Dustin Johnson won it during 01:03:13.130 --> 01:03:15.510 the COVID year. He went like 20 under. What I'm 01:03:15.510 --> 01:03:16.909 saying is. And it happened in November, so the 01:03:16.909 --> 01:03:18.929 course was playing way easier. But I'm saying. 01:03:19.570 --> 01:03:22.210 Every year in the past few seasons there has 01:03:22.210 --> 01:03:25.170 been the leaderboard on 16 Where they're within 01:03:25.170 --> 01:03:27.710 one fuck -up of being the leaderboard switch 01:03:27.710 --> 01:03:30.289 one fuck -up as in like they have to triple bogey 01:03:30.289 --> 01:03:32.670 No, no, not a triple bogey. They bogey the other 01:03:32.670 --> 01:03:35.230 person birdies two strokes. Okay, which is that 01:03:35.230 --> 01:03:38.130 can happen You can bogey 18 18 is a fucking tough 01:03:38.130 --> 01:03:40.250 asshole tiger bogey and won the whole Masters 01:03:40.250 --> 01:03:43.010 and teams can come back down from 3 -1 It's happened. 01:03:43.570 --> 01:03:45.329 So you're saying these are dogs. Yes. We're just 01:03:45.329 --> 01:03:47.829 talking recently recently. Yeah. Okay the past 01:03:47.829 --> 01:03:51.210 you're you're Strictly reducing this to the past 01:03:51.210 --> 01:03:53.409 two seasons, which is unfair the season before 01:03:53.409 --> 01:03:55.809 when it was warrior Celtics The Celtics had a 01:03:55.809 --> 01:03:58.030 2 -0 lead in the finals and it was an incredible 01:03:58.030 --> 01:04:01.510 comeback by the Warriors steps for title That's 01:04:01.510 --> 01:04:03.469 crazy in NBA history There's only a certain list 01:04:03.469 --> 01:04:05.510 of players and the whole history of the league 01:04:05.510 --> 01:04:07.630 who have four NBA titles And that was very important 01:04:07.630 --> 01:04:09.929 for Steph Curry and being in the top 10 conversation. 01:04:09.949 --> 01:04:12.469 I mean these are legacies on the line with the 01:04:12.469 --> 01:04:14.329 NBA Finals, and it could very well happen again 01:04:14.329 --> 01:04:16.210 this year. We haven't had a back -to -back champion 01:04:16.210 --> 01:04:17.969 since the Warriors has been almost a decade, 01:04:18.130 --> 01:04:20.170 and that's on the line this year. We have Oklahoma 01:04:20.170 --> 01:04:22.610 City going for its first title, one of the newest 01:04:22.610 --> 01:04:25.230 franchises in the league, Shea Gilgis Alexander, 01:04:25.389 --> 01:04:28.190 the league MVP. We have Cleveland, who almost 01:04:28.190 --> 01:04:29.909 lost in the first round last year to Orlando, 01:04:30.150 --> 01:04:31.710 trying to get back to the Finals for the first 01:04:31.710 --> 01:04:33.610 time since they had LeBron Jameson won it in 01:04:33.610 --> 01:04:36.130 2016. There's shit on the line here that's happening. 01:04:36.190 --> 01:04:37.809 It's going to be a great series no matter what. 01:04:38.030 --> 01:04:40.130 And I do agree with you in the fact that the 01:04:40.130 --> 01:04:42.489 past two NBA finals have been dogshit. And that's 01:04:42.489 --> 01:04:43.929 due to the fact that the Western Conference and 01:04:43.929 --> 01:04:45.909 Eastern Conference are both very top -heavy. 01:04:46.110 --> 01:04:48.210 And if there's an upset in either one of the 01:04:48.210 --> 01:04:50.389 conferences, then it's not going to be as great 01:04:50.389 --> 01:04:52.449 of an NBA finals. That's fine. Shit happens. 01:04:52.650 --> 01:04:54.230 There's blowouts in history. There's blowouts 01:04:54.230 --> 01:04:56.250 in the history of the Masters. We've seen it. 01:04:56.329 --> 01:04:58.550 But I think this year, and I'm telling you, no 01:04:58.550 --> 01:05:00.269 matter what, because I do believe Oklahoma City 01:05:00.269 --> 01:05:02.090 is going to get through to the NBA finals, that 01:05:02.090 --> 01:05:05.050 between them and Cleveland or Boston, it's going 01:05:05.050 --> 01:05:07.730 to be a fucking dogfight. And I'm very much looking 01:05:07.730 --> 01:05:09.889 forward to watching it. I'll watch. I'll watch. 01:05:10.329 --> 01:05:13.650 And there is, no matter what, there's going to 01:05:13.650 --> 01:05:16.710 be top 10 guys on the team. I mean, SGA is going 01:05:16.710 --> 01:05:20.139 to be the league MVP. Jason Tatum. top four in 01:05:20.139 --> 01:05:23.480 MVP voting. Jalen Brown won NBA Finals MVP last 01:05:23.480 --> 01:05:25.820 year. And the Thunder are very deep and very 01:05:25.820 --> 01:05:27.260 young. And it's just really annoying because 01:05:27.260 --> 01:05:28.579 they're going to be good for so many years. And 01:05:28.579 --> 01:05:29.860 I feel like I'm going to end up hating them, 01:05:29.860 --> 01:05:31.300 even though they're a really fun basketball team 01:05:31.300 --> 01:05:34.780 to watch. But either way, the NBA Finals just 01:05:34.780 --> 01:05:38.400 directly correlates with legacy. When you argue, 01:05:38.860 --> 01:05:40.699 what's one of the most heavily debated topics? 01:05:41.860 --> 01:05:45.409 LeBron versus Michael Jordan, right? Yep. What's 01:05:45.409 --> 01:05:47.989 one of the very first things that you point to? 01:05:47.989 --> 01:05:51.210 Jordan's one more. Jordan's six rings. Okay, 01:05:51.210 --> 01:05:53.750 and you're telling me that's gonna get left out. 01:05:55.090 --> 01:05:57.150 How do you debate the best golfer of all time? 01:05:57.449 --> 01:05:59.889 Most majors. Yeah, okay, but you're saying most 01:05:59.889 --> 01:06:04.250 majors, not most, hey, Tiger has, how many masters 01:06:04.250 --> 01:06:07.969 has Tiger won? Five. Five, he has five masters. 01:06:08.909 --> 01:06:12.449 Who is he up against? Jack Nicklaus. Jack Nicklaus, 01:06:12.849 --> 01:06:15.739 do you directly, Battle the amount of masters 01:06:15.739 --> 01:06:23.460 they have won. No You don't That's that's all 01:06:23.460 --> 01:06:26.739 I'm saying it's legacies on the line I'm just 01:06:26.739 --> 01:06:29.059 saying it's not my top four not my top four and 01:06:29.059 --> 01:06:30.980 that's fine. Look at the other day We still got 01:06:30.980 --> 01:06:32.639 to eliminate one more. We still got to eliminate 01:06:32.639 --> 01:06:36.190 one more you you you've you have We're down to 01:06:36.190 --> 01:06:38.070 the final for the World Series Super Bowl and 01:06:38.070 --> 01:06:39.510 the Stanley Cup. Is it crazy to say? Well, it's 01:06:39.510 --> 01:06:41.929 got to go. OK, I rest my case with the NBA Finals. 01:06:41.969 --> 01:06:44.610 But is it crazy to say I like watching the NHL 01:06:44.610 --> 01:06:47.829 playoffs more than the Super Bowl? No. I think 01:06:47.829 --> 01:06:50.309 I might go there. You're going to kick the Super 01:06:50.309 --> 01:06:53.469 Bowl out. I just think the Super Bowl. So you're 01:06:53.469 --> 01:06:55.550 locking the World Series in. World Series locked 01:06:55.550 --> 01:06:58.090 in. World Series and March Madness is locked 01:06:58.090 --> 01:07:01.690 in. So you got NBA Finals, World Series, March 01:07:01.690 --> 01:07:05.349 Madness. Yes. Those are your three. Now you're 01:07:05.349 --> 01:07:08.510 between Super Bowl and Stanley Cup. I'll tell 01:07:08.510 --> 01:07:12.949 you what I am. I'm Masters, Final Four, World 01:07:12.949 --> 01:07:14.730 Series, and I'm on the same boat as you right 01:07:14.730 --> 01:07:16.389 now. I don't know whether to pick the Super Bowl 01:07:16.389 --> 01:07:18.070 or to pick the Stanley Cup. I think the people 01:07:18.070 --> 01:07:19.690 are going to be mad if we leave the Super Bowl 01:07:19.690 --> 01:07:22.889 out. I really do. But you know what? Here's my 01:07:22.889 --> 01:07:25.050 thing. What do you mean? Most of our listeners 01:07:25.050 --> 01:07:29.469 are Lions fans, bro. My problem is I'm trying 01:07:29.469 --> 01:07:34.489 to... Determine I'm trying to eliminate it or 01:07:34.489 --> 01:07:37.050 limit it to just the championship aspect. That's 01:07:37.050 --> 01:07:40.750 playoff hockey playoff Playoff hockey itself 01:07:40.750 --> 01:07:44.389 is so awesome to watch but then again I'm also 01:07:44.389 --> 01:07:46.769 thinking about it in terms of me watching my 01:07:46.769 --> 01:07:50.150 own team in the playoffs and The palms get fucking 01:07:50.150 --> 01:07:53.510 sweaty in the NHL playoffs Especially overtime. 01:07:53.590 --> 01:07:57.530 There is nothing like an overtime NHL hockey 01:07:57.530 --> 01:08:00.079 game in the playoffs. Nothing like a Stanley 01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:03.300 Cup Finals OT matchup. Oh, it's insane. It's 01:08:03.300 --> 01:08:05.360 insane. Especially in an elimination game. And 01:08:05.360 --> 01:08:10.420 I feel like the Super Bowl has that, but it's 01:08:10.420 --> 01:08:13.480 not a one shot wins the game. You know what I'm 01:08:13.480 --> 01:08:15.820 saying? It's similar. I don't feel that rush 01:08:15.820 --> 01:08:18.359 of adrenaline. It's similar to the Kentucky Derby. 01:08:18.899 --> 01:08:21.699 I also think that the Rangers have been in the 01:08:21.699 --> 01:08:25.000 playoffs. More recently than the Giants have 01:08:25.000 --> 01:08:26.699 I mean the Giants won a playoff game They haven't 01:08:26.699 --> 01:08:28.760 been anywhere close to a Super Bowl the Rangers 01:08:28.760 --> 01:08:30.640 went deep in the playoffs last year They didn't 01:08:30.640 --> 01:08:32.279 make it to the Stanley Cup, which is why I'm 01:08:32.279 --> 01:08:34.260 kind of having trouble thinking about this So 01:08:34.260 --> 01:08:36.779 I guess 2015 against the Kings from I guess that 01:08:36.779 --> 01:08:41.520 moment I guess from a neutral I Want to say this 01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:45.380 I Would rather have the NHL playoffs and watch 01:08:45.380 --> 01:08:48.159 the NHL playoffs than the NFL playoffs, which 01:08:48.159 --> 01:08:49.659 sounds ridiculous I just think it's a little 01:08:49.659 --> 01:08:51.890 more exciting Don't know if we're talking about 01:08:51.890 --> 01:08:54.710 the Stanley Cup versus the Super Bowl has nothing 01:08:54.710 --> 01:08:58.170 to do with It's also hard to compare a whole 01:08:58.170 --> 01:09:00.470 series to one game because the Super Bowl is 01:09:00.470 --> 01:09:04.130 one game balls on the line NHL seven game series. 01:09:04.329 --> 01:09:06.069 That's what I'm saying So what if you think about 01:09:06.069 --> 01:09:09.430 it in terms of NHL stay in the cup finals game 01:09:09.430 --> 01:09:12.869 seven versus Super Bowl I Feel like that's a 01:09:12.869 --> 01:09:15.489 really good way to look at it. It's kind of similar. 01:09:15.609 --> 01:09:20.239 I know it's not that that's not Yeah I'm going 01:09:20.239 --> 01:09:22.220 Super Bowl. I'm going Super Bowl. I'm going Super 01:09:22.220 --> 01:09:24.720 Bowl. I think I've just watched more Super Bowl 01:09:24.720 --> 01:09:27.340 than I have of NHL playoffs, so I think I really 01:09:27.340 --> 01:09:29.239 should pick the Super Bowl, but it's an argument 01:09:29.239 --> 01:09:33.859 to make. Yeah. If I have to watch... I hate leaving 01:09:33.859 --> 01:09:35.680 the Stanley Cup out. That bothers me. It bothers 01:09:35.680 --> 01:09:38.020 me, but... I'm not giving up the World Series. 01:09:38.180 --> 01:09:40.220 I'm not giving up more. The way the way you have 01:09:40.220 --> 01:09:42.979 to think about this is if your own team is in 01:09:42.979 --> 01:09:44.939 it, which is not the exercise, I understand. 01:09:45.140 --> 01:09:47.460 But if your own team is in Stanley Cup Finals, 01:09:47.479 --> 01:09:49.340 Game seven, if your own team is in any of these 01:09:49.340 --> 01:09:51.039 events, you're going to you're watching. Let 01:09:51.039 --> 01:09:53.800 me ask you this, though. Game seven, Stanley 01:09:53.800 --> 01:09:59.079 Cup Finals, Rangers, Edmonton, Super Bowl, Giants. 01:09:59.840 --> 01:10:01.880 You're watching the Giants. And I think that 01:10:01.880 --> 01:10:04.479 has to be your answer. Right. And I think that's 01:10:04.479 --> 01:10:06.829 tough. I also think it's because I'm Out of all 01:10:06.829 --> 01:10:09.770 the teams I'm a fan of, I'm most a Die Hard Giants 01:10:09.770 --> 01:10:12.430 fan. And that's fine. The Giants are my favorite 01:10:12.430 --> 01:10:15.050 sports team. Like if I had to pick any sports 01:10:15.050 --> 01:10:17.350 team, the Giants are my favorite. It's certainly 01:10:17.350 --> 01:10:18.930 a topic, though. I guess I didn't really ever 01:10:18.930 --> 01:10:20.270 sit down and think about it. I guess off the 01:10:20.270 --> 01:10:22.890 top of my head, I would say Super Bowl. But when 01:10:22.890 --> 01:10:25.489 I really sit down and think about it, nothing 01:10:25.489 --> 01:10:28.510 compares to playoff hockey. I mean, all of these 01:10:28.510 --> 01:10:31.409 are really exciting matchups and it's really 01:10:31.409 --> 01:10:33.630 hard to choose just from a final standpoint. 01:10:33.869 --> 01:10:36.630 I think too. I know what it's like to win a Super 01:10:36.630 --> 01:10:38.489 Bowl, like I've had that feeling before in my 01:10:38.489 --> 01:10:40.869 life, so I know how great that feeling is. We'd 01:10:40.869 --> 01:10:42.310 never won a Stanley Cup in our lives. Never won 01:10:42.310 --> 01:10:43.829 a Stanley Cup. So I don't know what that feeling 01:10:43.829 --> 01:10:46.770 is. We're also raised in North Carolina and hockey 01:10:46.770 --> 01:10:49.529 is not nearly as big down here. No. It's just 01:10:49.529 --> 01:10:51.649 not. No. Which is fine, we can still look for 01:10:51.649 --> 01:10:53.189 - Canes fans only come out when they're good. 01:10:53.449 --> 01:10:57.069 Oh, that's a hefty one. I get in with Canes fans. 01:10:57.390 --> 01:10:59.689 I don't like Canes fans. Their fair weather is 01:10:59.689 --> 01:11:01.470 fuck. No, that's a crazy statement. I'm calling 01:11:01.470 --> 01:11:03.390 out all Canes fans. That's a crazy statement. 01:11:03.630 --> 01:11:05.970 Because you know why? The Rangers own your ass. 01:11:06.090 --> 01:11:09.909 And I don't hold any grudges. At all. It sounds 01:11:09.909 --> 01:11:11.569 like you hold grudges. But I hold a grudge. I 01:11:11.569 --> 01:11:14.010 hold a grudge against a Canes fan. Hold it. I 01:11:14.010 --> 01:11:16.470 don't care. I don't like it. We might have to 01:11:16.470 --> 01:11:18.449 get a Canes fan on the pod. Oh yeah. I got plenty 01:11:18.449 --> 01:11:20.069 of them. I got plenty of friends who are Canes 01:11:20.069 --> 01:11:22.689 fans. Let's get them on the pod. It's ugly. It's 01:11:22.689 --> 01:11:24.409 ugly. We do own them in the playoffs though. 01:11:24.689 --> 01:11:26.750 Own them. Send them home. I remember last year. 01:11:26.829 --> 01:11:28.649 I was there. I was there when we sent the packet. 01:11:28.750 --> 01:11:32.770 You know what? We almost blew it last year, though. 01:11:33.069 --> 01:11:35.489 We almost blew it. It was 3 -0. It was 3 -0. 01:11:35.609 --> 01:11:38.109 And we were seconds away from going to a game 01:11:38.109 --> 01:11:41.989 seven. Let's not forget that. I don't care. And 01:11:41.989 --> 01:11:44.630 we're going to miss the playoffs this year. We're 01:11:44.630 --> 01:11:46.470 sitting here talking shit. That kind of fire 01:11:46.470 --> 01:11:48.149 is the same kind of fire I have towards Cowboys 01:11:48.149 --> 01:11:49.909 and Eagles fans, too. So I will say when it comes 01:11:49.909 --> 01:11:52.890 down to my passion towards both sports, they're 01:11:52.890 --> 01:11:55.649 equal. When it comes down to the championship, 01:11:56.109 --> 01:11:58.649 I'd rather see the Giants win. I would personally 01:11:58.649 --> 01:12:00.630 rather watch the Giants in the Super Bowl than 01:12:00.630 --> 01:12:02.529 the Rangers in game seven. And that kills me 01:12:02.529 --> 01:12:06.010 to say, because they are so close, like one way 01:12:06.010 --> 01:12:08.569 or the other. See, I can stand on business, because 01:12:08.569 --> 01:12:10.890 out of all those, Knicks. I'm watching the Knicks 01:12:10.890 --> 01:12:12.529 in the NBA finals. Everything else is getting 01:12:12.529 --> 01:12:13.989 turned on. That's a different type of discussion, 01:12:14.130 --> 01:12:15.649 though. That's a whole different discussion on 01:12:15.649 --> 01:12:17.470 which team you would rather watch. I'll die on 01:12:17.470 --> 01:12:20.550 a hill for my guys. And then obviously, we both 01:12:20.550 --> 01:12:23.260 grew up loving baseball. We've always loved baseball. 01:12:23.619 --> 01:12:26.359 World Series is just, you know. Playoff baseball 01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:29.680 is awesome too. Playoff baseball is iconic. I 01:12:29.680 --> 01:12:33.140 appreciate the World Series. I love the World 01:12:33.140 --> 01:12:34.640 Series. I watch it every year. And we're fresh 01:12:34.640 --> 01:12:36.819 off a classic World Series. Not that it was really 01:12:36.819 --> 01:12:38.840 close, but Yankees Dodgers was one of the ages. 01:12:39.060 --> 01:12:43.060 Yeah, it was great. So that's my final four World 01:12:43.060 --> 01:12:45.539 Series Super Bowl and the Masters. And I think 01:12:45.539 --> 01:12:48.920 I'm going to... Same boat as you, except I'm 01:12:48.920 --> 01:12:50.720 replacing the Masters with the NBA Finals, which 01:12:50.720 --> 01:12:52.520 is where our debate started from, but we knew 01:12:52.520 --> 01:12:54.380 that going in. Yeah, we did. We knew we were 01:12:54.380 --> 01:12:57.760 going to butt heads. Yep. So that wraps up that 01:12:57.760 --> 01:13:00.500 debate. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Go at each 01:13:00.500 --> 01:13:02.220 other's throats a little bit, you know, get into 01:13:02.220 --> 01:13:06.159 it.

I got a new phone case 01:20:38.479 --> 01:20:40.680 this week, thank God, because I was tired of 01:20:40.680 --> 01:20:43.319 having to leave. Where I keep my key card was 01:20:43.319 --> 01:20:45.479 in like this socket, but it broke. So I had to 01:20:45.479 --> 01:20:48.020 keep it in the back of my phone. So I said, yo, 01:20:48.100 --> 01:20:49.560 can I just get the key card at the back of my 01:20:49.560 --> 01:20:51.680 phone? Keep my phone.

That was 01:21:30.710 --> 01:21:33.170 brutal. Yeah, that's awful. That was awful. I 01:21:33.170 --> 01:21:34.810 don't really know what I was to say besides the 01:21:34.810 --> 01:21:36.470 fact that you probably should have put your wallet 01:21:36.470 --> 01:21:38.329 in your pocket before you pull it out for work 01:21:38.329 --> 01:21:41.399 that day.

You ride around all 01:22:03.800 --> 01:22:05.000 day with your wallet in your pocket. Yep, I do. 01:22:05.000 --> 01:22:08.210 That's ridiculous. I do. Alright, whatever.

But it was your own fault. You didn't get 01:22:16.250 --> 01:22:19.770 hosed. You hosed yourself. I did. But that's 01:22:19.770 --> 01:22:22.090 my stink bomb of the week. Well, that's pretty 01:22:22.090 --> 01:22:26.229 good. That sucked. It sucked. But you know what? 01:22:26.229 --> 01:22:29.590 I got a fresh oil change now. I'm good. My stink 01:22:29.590 --> 01:22:33.810 bomb. I don't get embarrassed often, and this 01:22:33.810 --> 01:22:38.720 is not a long story at all. But. Background story 01:22:38.720 --> 01:22:44.619 I work in the construction business and the I 01:22:44.619 --> 01:22:47.460 don't want to say primary language, but one of 01:22:47.460 --> 01:22:50.140 the languages used in construction is Spanish 01:22:50.140 --> 01:22:52.859 And I speak a little bit of Spanish here and 01:22:52.859 --> 01:22:55.039 there I minored in Spanish in college. I took 01:22:55.039 --> 01:22:57.899 a lot of high school Spanish as well So I have 01:22:57.899 --> 01:23:00.220 a little bit of a little bit of a background 01:23:00.220 --> 01:23:03.300 of what's going on So I like to use it now and 01:23:03.300 --> 01:23:05.159 then because it's fun It's fun just to try and 01:23:05.159 --> 01:23:07.279 speak a different language and see where I stand 01:23:07.399 --> 01:23:13.779 from that point. So I'm at work and I'm in a 01:23:13.779 --> 01:23:19.319 case where there is an electrical block that's 01:23:19.319 --> 01:23:23.460 kind of interfering with what I do. I do siding 01:23:23.460 --> 01:23:26.199 and I have to put shutters on houses sometimes 01:23:26.199 --> 01:23:28.340 and there was a pretty much an electrical block 01:23:28.340 --> 01:23:31.640 that was blocking the shutter that I had to install. 01:23:32.699 --> 01:23:35.619 So I had to get the electrician over there and 01:23:35.619 --> 01:23:40.239 I had to move some stuff around. And long story 01:23:40.239 --> 01:23:46.859 short, the shutter is 14 inches wide. So in hindsight, 01:23:46.920 --> 01:23:49.460 I have to have 14 inches from the edge of the 01:23:49.460 --> 01:23:53.479 window out from the wall so the shutter can fit, 01:23:53.539 --> 01:23:56.199 because the shutter's 14 inches wide. But the 01:23:56.199 --> 01:24:00.800 electrical block was seven inches outside of 01:24:00.800 --> 01:24:03.359 the window. So you can't fit the shutter seven 01:24:03.359 --> 01:24:06.159 and sure obviously yes, I need I need the block 01:24:06.159 --> 01:24:09.119 to be moved seven inches if you follow along 01:24:09.119 --> 01:24:13.899 So I talked to the boss of the job site in the 01:24:13.899 --> 01:24:17.039 job and the the superintendent brought over the 01:24:17.039 --> 01:24:20.479 electrician and I was standing there I was pulling 01:24:20.479 --> 01:24:22.619 some siding off the wall trying to make room 01:24:22.619 --> 01:24:24.699 for the electrician to move his block so we could 01:24:24.699 --> 01:24:29.189 fit our shutter in The electrician and the superintendent 01:24:29.189 --> 01:24:31.609 walk over together and I'm standing there pulling 01:24:31.609 --> 01:24:34.710 off the siding and they walk up Right, and I 01:24:34.710 --> 01:24:36.430 don't know the electrician. I've never seen the 01:24:36.430 --> 01:24:38.449 guy in my life I know the superintendent don't 01:24:38.449 --> 01:24:43.310 know the electrician just to preface. Oh Preface. 01:24:43.449 --> 01:24:49.550 Yeah, they were so the superintendent is Talking 01:24:49.550 --> 01:24:52.409 to the electrician as they're walking up and 01:24:52.409 --> 01:24:57.649 he tells me he's like, hey Johnny Point to where 01:24:57.649 --> 01:25:01.369 you're talking about on the wall and i'm like 01:25:01.369 --> 01:25:03.149 what do you mean point he's like just point to 01:25:03.149 --> 01:25:06.989 where you need moved what you need moved and 01:25:06.989 --> 01:25:10.949 i'm i point to the window and i'm like necesito 01:25:10.949 --> 01:25:14.590 quince abregadas which is spanish for i need 01:25:14.590 --> 01:25:20.029 15 inches like from the window the electrician 01:25:20.029 --> 01:25:22.890 looks me dead in the face and goes dude i speak 01:25:22.890 --> 01:25:31.279 perfect fucking english No! Yeah. Very bad. When 01:25:31.279 --> 01:25:34.800 I tell you that I reached mega asshole status, 01:25:35.340 --> 01:25:39.659 that was it. You tried to speak to him in Spanish 01:25:39.659 --> 01:25:41.460 because you thought you were fucking the shit. 01:25:41.739 --> 01:25:43.720 You knew what you were talking about. It wasn't 01:25:43.720 --> 01:25:45.819 even that. It was the electrician told me to 01:25:45.819 --> 01:25:48.359 point. So when he said point, I just thought, 01:25:48.720 --> 01:25:51.159 oh, he's not going to understand what I explain 01:25:51.159 --> 01:25:54.920 in English. Let me just speak some Spanish. Was 01:25:54.920 --> 01:26:00.359 he Latino? I don't I Guess I don't know it just 01:26:00.359 --> 01:26:02.840 it went straight to my mind that oh, I need to 01:26:02.840 --> 01:26:05.680 I'm just gonna say what I think Yeah, and I did 01:26:05.680 --> 01:26:08.319 yeah because Spanish is heavily used in my industry. 01:26:08.399 --> 01:26:12.140 It is it is what it is So I went in Necesito 01:26:12.140 --> 01:26:16.680 Quinceanabriadas Dude doesn't even speak Spanish, 01:26:16.680 --> 01:26:19.359 and I just looked like a straight -up asshole. 01:26:19.479 --> 01:26:21.439 Oh you had to look like a straight douchebag 01:26:22.359 --> 01:26:27.899 Didn't even know what to say I Just I apologized 01:26:27.899 --> 01:26:32.060 and That was it. I moved on. So the question 01:26:32.060 --> 01:26:34.300 is did you get that electrical box moved? They 01:26:34.300 --> 01:26:36.899 bought it got moved and got moved it got moved 01:26:36.899 --> 01:26:42.300 So I I just want to say that was on me and I 01:26:42.300 --> 01:26:45.260 apologize to the guy not that that's really offensive 01:26:45.260 --> 01:26:49.840 at all, but I Was that sucks? Now, how embarrassing 01:26:49.840 --> 01:26:51.439 is that? That's embarrassing. That's fucking 01:26:51.439 --> 01:26:55.319 embarrassing. But when he said point, the first 01:26:55.319 --> 01:26:57.619 thing my mind went to was, oh, he doesn't speak 01:26:57.619 --> 01:27:00.560 English. What else are you supposed to think 01:27:00.560 --> 01:27:02.840 in that moment, you know? Nothing. I mean, I 01:27:02.840 --> 01:27:04.659 don't think I was wrong for thinking that, but 01:27:04.659 --> 01:27:06.739 it doesn't make me feel like less of an asshole. 01:27:07.039 --> 01:27:09.699 No, yeah, you're a big dick for that one. Like 01:27:09.699 --> 01:27:11.920 I said, I achieved the mega asshole for that. 01:27:11.920 --> 01:27:15.060 Yeah. What are you gonna do? Between that and 01:27:15.060 --> 01:27:17.840 filming this last segment, while I'm spinning 01:27:17.840 --> 01:27:20.560 like I'm on Top Throw Dragster and Cedar Point, 01:27:21.100 --> 01:27:23.079 those both are in contention for Stink Bomb. 01:27:23.199 --> 01:27:28.279 Yeah. So, we're gonna both go puke. And then 01:27:28.279 --> 01:27:30.979 wake up tomorrow hating our lives. And probably 01:27:30.979 --> 01:27:33.899 have a PD light. Maybe two.

So you get the beginning 01:27:38.619 --> 01:27:41.319 of this podcast with us wasted. You get the end 01:27:41.319 --> 01:27:43.159 of this podcast with us wasted.

And we had to 01:27:57.680 --> 01:27:59.340 say it straight up because we're probably not 01:27:59.340 --> 01:28:01.859 at the top of our game right now. We're at the 01:28:01.859 --> 01:28:04.060 bottom of our game right now. We might be bottom 01:28:04.060 --> 01:28:07.319 of the barrel. Maybe. Maybe. But maybe the listeners 01:28:07.319 --> 01:28:10.439 like it. I don't really know. There's gonna be 01:28:10.439 --> 01:28:14.840 no way to tell. But, I mean...
