on the DK horse app. The

4:28

day is Friday, May 17, and

4:32

the Minnesota Timberwolves have

4:34

forced a game seven with

4:37

an absolute ass kicking PFT

4:40

of the Denver Nuggets. When you

4:42

thought this series couldn't get weirder you thought

4:44

the the the wolves were dead. They

4:48

were the 50 piece a 45

4:50

piece the Nuggets at

4:53

home with their throwbacks and

4:55

we're going Yeah, we're they trumped them and we're going to a

4:57

game seven. Yeah, game seven

4:59

two sweetest words in sports. It

5:01

used to be B to lay. Now it's now it's

5:03

game seven. We're also game five

5:06

fans but this series has not been. It's

5:09

been close in terms of the number of games

5:11

one, but there haven't been any real good games.

5:13

It feels like it goes back and

5:15

forth first two games obviously Timberwolves, then the Nuggets went

5:17

on a little run. Now it's back

5:19

to the wolves again and whatever team is hot is

5:21

just way better than the other team that night. So

5:24

I don't know what to expect expect out of

5:26

game seven. It feels like Nuggets

5:29

have the advantage at home but after watching this

5:31

ass kicking tonight. Now that's kind of up in the

5:33

air too. I just whoever

5:36

it's the spreads don't matter in this game put

5:38

it that way. Yeah, it's just like pick pick

5:40

whatever team you think is going to win and

5:43

if they can figure out how to get the ball out

5:45

of Jamal Murray's hands more than that might be

5:47

a good idea because that's how they kind of turned the tide of

5:49

the series was in the first two games. They

5:52

were like, you know what, Michael Malone said, Jamal

5:54

Murray bringing the ball up the court is

5:56

an issue for us him getting pressure 94 feet is an issue for

5:59

us. us. So we're going to have

6:01

Yokech do it. We're going to have Aaron Gordon do it. And

6:03

that seemed to work for three games. And

6:06

Jamal Murray is just back to being complete

6:08

garbage. He just, he just can't shoot. Yeah.

6:11

Yeah. The nuggets shot like shit. I

6:13

also thought that the timber rolls made

6:15

an awesome defensive adjustment by doubling Yokech

6:18

in the post where they're like, Hey,

6:20

Rudy Gobert got cooked for an all

6:22

time performance in game five. Let's

6:24

maybe give him some help. And it wasn't even

6:27

the doubling. It was like how good and crisp

6:29

they were with their like

6:31

rotations behind the double. And

6:33

then obviously it helps that the nuggets just

6:36

couldn't hit a shot. But I, all credit

6:38

to the wolves, like they came out with

6:40

that defensive intensity and game plan that you

6:42

saw in games one and two and

6:44

just absolutely took it to the nuggets. And

6:47

now, I mean, Anthony Edwards was awesome. I

6:49

did have a nuclear missile well play on his

6:51

over points, but the game was so out of

6:54

hand. He was like three points off. But yeah,

6:56

you're right. Like the spreads don't matter. These

6:58

games as close they've been. It's been a great like chess,

7:01

like counter chess moves by

7:03

both coaches. And we

7:06

now get to a game seven in Denver, I

7:08

think Sunday night. And I guess

7:10

whoever, whichever team's going to want to start

7:12

making some shots because they, the

7:14

nuggets were so bad from three, so,

7:17

so bad from three tonight. And

7:19

the wolves look like the game one and two

7:21

wolves where it's like this team is ready. That's

7:24

the thing. The wolves played, they should get credit. They played

7:26

with a lot of energy and they looked really good, especially

7:28

in the first half. They put the game out of hand

7:30

pretty much by the middle of the third quarter, but

7:33

also the nuggets I think deserve, it's

7:35

like who won? Did they win it or did,

7:37

did the nuggets lose it? If

7:39

the nuggets had shot well, this game would have been much

7:42

more competitive. I don't know if it would have been obviously

7:44

45 points is a lot, but

7:46

this was just an all-time shit performance by

7:48

the nuggets shooting the basketball. And

7:51

we also should say that the wolves wore their

7:53

throwbacks with the throwback court, which was the minute

7:55

I turned on the game. I was like, Oh,

7:57

it's fucking on. Like they, I

7:59

don't. I don't know, they should wear that every

8:01

single game, I do not think they could lose in

8:04

those. I know there's probably stats to say, they probably

8:06

lost game three and four and I'm forgetting it. I'm

8:09

going recency bias, they don't lose in those. I

8:12

like the T-shirts they're wearing tonight too. They're

8:14

kind of swaggerjacking, okay, see a little bit,

8:16

but the fan T-shirts that just said, I

8:18

heart wolves, that's a good one. Yeah,

8:20

by the way, if you're

8:22

tuning in and watching us, Hank

8:24

is in a, well, no,

8:26

I was gonna say Uber, you're banned from Uber. A

8:29

Lyft? He's in a library. I'm

8:32

in a library, yeah. He's studying, reading books.

8:34

A Lyft library. Yeah, he joined

8:36

the show just to prove that he's still awake,

8:38

even though it's not that late, but he's gone

8:40

for the weekend, he's out of town and he's

8:42

in a Lyft right now in a library, a

8:45

Lyft library. Yeah,

8:47

great to be here, miss you guys. He's

8:49

also PFT, I can see him, even though you

8:52

can't really see him, he's like a hologram, Hank.

8:55

You see that smile? That

8:57

smile is that the wolves might win game seven.

9:00

Yeah, he's happy. Hank's definitely in a better place right

9:02

now than he was at this exact

9:04

time two nights ago. You

9:06

do look like a hologram or like a

9:08

ghost, like a demon poltergeist. Yeah,

9:11

I tried to take it off, but then I feel like

9:13

I almost blew up the Riverside, so I'm just going with

9:15

it. I'm in

9:17

traffic. Should I take it off again? I can't. I

9:22

was gonna say, it stopped the recording. All

9:25

right, other game tonight that was

9:27

incredible. Period of the week. Period

9:30

of the week. New York Rangers down

9:32

3-1 look lifeless, look

9:35

like we were gonna have an all-time choke

9:37

job by the Rangers forcing a game seven

9:39

after they're up 3-0 in this series. They

9:42

come back, they win the game. Memes,

9:46

I would like to read a tweet to you that

9:49

was posted when the Rangers had

9:51

an incredible comeback

9:54

like awesome moment for Rangers

9:56

fans. They were probably, I

9:59

know some Rangers. fans, we have

10:01

some co-workers or Rangers fans, they

10:03

started to feel the pressure because you

10:05

don't want to be the team that's up 3-0 and then

10:07

have to go home for game seven. So put

10:11

all that out there, Rangers come

10:13

back from down 3-1, they look like they

10:15

were dead and the

10:19

tweet we got from the part of my take account

10:21

was, hurricanes were so close

10:23

to pulling off the series comeback. That's

10:26

the quote for the Rangers game winning

10:28

goal. That's

10:32

their one and only memes. Yeah, I

10:34

love it. I love it. Unbiased

10:36

though, memes is nothing but unbiased. There was

10:38

a great, great save by the defender in

10:40

this game. Do you see that? Yeah,

10:43

laid out, stopped the puck on the line,

10:45

the parallax angles were everywhere. They're trying to figure out if

10:47

it went in. I don't think it went in. It was

10:49

one of the, it was an all time

10:51

hustle play. Yeah, yeah,

10:53

memes. So how are you feeling now that

10:56

the Rangers, you were definitely

10:59

like this is going to be awesome. They're going to choke.

11:03

The pressure is all going to be on them

11:05

in game seven and then it just flipped on

11:07

you. Are you getting nervous? So

11:10

I was very excited in the second and

11:13

then Biz went on TNT and said, when

11:15

the Kanes win the series, I want the

11:17

Martin Nukes save framed and sued. So,

11:22

and then they just went on a tear on

11:24

the third. So it's business. Yeah,

11:26

it's all business fault. Yeah, he

11:28

is a mush. It's good too, because Biz

11:30

is like Charles Barkley. The

11:32

two of them together are like

11:35

the mushes of their respective shows on

11:37

TNT. Yeah, they're so good. I actually,

11:39

we talk a little bit later about

11:41

inside the NBA and how it's maybe

11:44

going away, maybe moving to a different place. I

11:46

went down a rabbit hole for about, I'd say 25,

11:49

30 minutes today, watching

11:51

the best clips and inside the NBA history.

11:54

I was just laughing the entire time. It's,

11:56

it's so funny. It's so good. I hope

11:58

they keep together somehow. It. Just.

12:00

If you know if you got some time to kill

12:03

on a Friday, if you're in a list and you're

12:05

going somewhere probably totally sober. Ah just

12:07

pull up the clips the like highlight reels of

12:09

inside the be any laugh your ass off it'll

12:11

be the best thirty mins that you spend. Did.

12:14

You watch the clip. My all time favorite

12:16

is ah Charles Barkley talking about how he

12:18

got his bracelet from a dude in the

12:20

sauna yes yes in the summer he receiver

12:22

of yeah i guess guy gave it's if

12:24

if you got your great when my my

12:26

my other favorite is the night that the

12:29

add that the Clippers in Iraq it's gotten

12:31

to the fight on or needs the a

12:33

staple center. And. They

12:35

went to somebody in the locker room

12:37

that was giving a very serious report

12:39

about what happened and she was like

12:41

on the Lapd has been called. They

12:43

are providing our security for both teams

12:45

as police presence outside the locker rooms

12:48

escorting players the team buses. As a

12:50

very serious report. And then he

12:52

cut back and said he be a shack

12:54

and Charles were just crying laughing. Do it

12:56

they would it would you like Sake Nine

12:58

one one Goals Like he Nine one one

13:00

Yeah out A you better get your quick

13:02

response. About to come kick my ass is

13:04

good. Up with

13:06

guess what? Pft. Arm. We

13:09

ought to worry. Because. I don't of he

13:11

saw and be a countdown the counterpart on E S

13:13

P N tonight. But. Ah, minutes

13:15

before the tip off. Of.

13:17

The Wolves Nuggets Game. They.

13:20

Were so locked in. They.

13:22

Had a debate woods even

13:24

a score one basket first.

13:26

Le Bron. In a one

13:28

on one game of to a hundred points spotting

13:31

Stephen a ninety nine points. Yes,

13:35

When you up it's up to sneak is

13:37

Steven A brought this up Stephen a broad

13:39

digital games he was wet use what before

13:41

the they started tape he breathed know he

13:43

brought it up. I think it was unlike

13:45

First Taker get up one of those shows

13:47

and he brought it up and so he

13:49

started talking about it. And so the way

13:51

that concept works at E S P N

13:53

is when somebody says something inflammatory on one

13:55

of their shows then all the other shows

13:57

talk about that. For. the next like two

13:59

weeks So that, what did they say? Did they think he

14:01

could do it? I think he said

14:04

he could do it because he, he was warming

14:06

up with Bob Myers tonight. Uh, and he hit

14:08

like five jumpers in a row. So that was

14:10

kind of, I think that was

14:12

what propelled it. Like, Hey, we were, it's ready for

14:14

prime time. Let's bring this debate to prime time. I

14:16

can probably get a bucket on him. I'm

14:18

going to say that Stephen A, I think

14:20

Stephen A could score like

14:22

five buckets on him. Ooh.

14:24

Cause I think LeBron or losers. What

14:28

do you mean? Like if LeBron scores, he

14:30

does he get the ball checked out? Oh

14:32

yeah. Yeah. If LeBron scores, no, it goes to

14:34

losers. Okay. Okay. I think he'd

14:37

get five on him. And because I think that

14:39

LeBron would, he'd just, he'd get tired.

14:41

He there's no load management in the game to a

14:43

hundred one-on-one. Yeah. Stephen

14:45

A could just probably shit talk him to get

14:47

in his head. Yeah. Oh,

14:50

easily, easily. Yeah. Uh,

14:52

okay. Should we talk about the PGA championship

14:55

real quick? I have two thoughts. One is,

14:57

uh, Scotty Scheffler maybe mortal because he's not

14:59

leading and it's very weird to see him

15:01

not leading cause Xander Shoffley was incredible. Uh,

15:04

what did Scotty end up shooting? Minus three minus

15:07

four. So he's tied for 12. But

15:09

he had a hole, which is insane. Yeah.

15:12

He had an Eagle, but then he had a bad

15:14

bogey a couple holes later. Um,

15:16

and then the other one is, do you

15:19

think there's a possibility that John

15:21

Rahm gives back all his money and he's like, I made a

15:24

huge mistake. I'm going to go back to the PGA. It

15:26

was just cause he's not happy. He's so

15:28

miserable and he's golfing like shit. Yeah.

15:32

I don't know. Maybe what is it about playing

15:34

on the live tour that's that actually makes him

15:36

worse at golf? I

15:38

don't know. I mean, he ended up minus one, but it

15:40

was like, if you look at his scorecard, he

15:43

was, uh, he was all over

15:45

the place. Like he bogeyed. It's

15:47

actually incredible that he was minus one cause he

15:49

ended up bogeying five holes and

15:52

he just looked miserable out there. Um,

15:55

I don't know. It could be, could

15:57

he be the one that swings it all back? He's

15:59

like. I don't want this money. Like, can I just

16:01

give you an IO you guys? Well, the thing about

16:04

John Rahm is I think he still wants all the

16:06

money. He wants to play

16:08

better golf too. But I know

16:10

I think that the money, the money

16:12

is a big stumbling block in that negotiation because he doesn't

16:14

want to lose it. And then also

16:16

trying to go to MBS and say, Hey,

16:19

I'm, can I just say psych? Can

16:22

we just, can we just do a redo on this one? I'll go

16:24

back to the PGA. I don't know if

16:26

that's going to happen at all because that's John

16:28

Rahm. It felt like was a big part of

16:30

the public investment funds leverage where now

16:32

everybody's talking about like, they've

16:34

got the best players and you can't make

16:36

an argument otherwise now, especially how the

16:38

start of the season was going. Like besides Scotty and

16:41

there are a couple of other guys, but like they

16:43

have. All the top players, the

16:46

ones that have been most successful in majors. And

16:48

it just feels like the John Rahm

16:50

transfer was the tipping point for that.

16:52

And I don't think that the live tour wants to

16:54

give that guy up. I agree

16:56

with you. I'm just, he does look miserable

16:59

out there. Um, so I don't know if

17:01

he's just like hating his decision. Uh,

17:04

but it's, it's interesting to watch. And then

17:06

our guys broke some Max, both did well. They're in the

17:08

hunt. They did well. I love it

17:10

when they play together. I love it when you're in

17:12

the same group because it solves a lot of problems

17:14

for me. I don't have to worry about jumping back

17:16

and forth from groups or waiting till my group shot

17:19

comes up. I just said, I forget it. Uh, then

17:21

Shoffley, Shoffley was lights out to that.

17:23

He's in the lead. He's shot nine under, I think.

17:25

So now everyone is saying like, this feels like it's

17:27

the year. It feels like it's the tournament.

17:29

He's not under right now. Uh,

17:32

I don't think I'm going to, I'm going to go on the

17:34

record and say, I've seen this movie

17:37

before and it's not going to end well.

17:39

Yeah. Bogey free golf from him. He was on

17:41

fire. It's

17:44

crazy. Hank, have you ever played a bogey free round?

17:47

Yeah. Doubles

17:49

is all doubles. Yeah. Okay.

17:52

Anything else? We have an awesome rest of

17:54

the show back in studio. We just wanted to

17:56

make sure we updated. Obviously

18:00

game six anything else before we kick

18:03

it to ourselves to talk more playoffs

18:06

NFL schedule Randy

18:08

Moss and Pat Conaton we got any last

18:10

thoughts Jason

18:13

Dufner's in the hunt. I bet him. I think it was like

18:15

50 bucks to win $10,000 if he finishes

18:17

top ten So

18:20

something to keep an eye on all right.

18:22

Mr. Duffer Duffer update Duffer

18:25

update where you gonna say Jake didn't

18:27

you stand the last show you wanted Michael block to

18:29

finish dead last I Did and

18:31

he was for a minute, but I don't think

18:33

he's dead last anymore. That's sucks. Okay, so I'm

18:38

glad you brought blocky up because he had a

18:40

quad on number two and then

18:42

he's in commercials all over the place He's

18:45

like one of the faces of the PGA Championship this

18:47

year. It's very funny And he

18:49

does he looks he looks more like

18:51

if you if you like kidnapped Ryan Rossello

18:53

and left him out in the Sun for

18:55

a Week, that's what Michael block

18:57

looks like. Yeah, I forgot

18:59

that John Daly plays this every year

19:01

So John Daly is second to last

19:03

and Michael block is uh, he's far

19:05

off finishing dead last but yeah,

19:08

he sucks in that the the eight that he

19:10

got was so funny because It

19:12

just goes against everything if he had worries distance

19:14

because it was just him hitting it back and

19:16

forth over the green Yeah,

19:18

and getting an eight. Yeah, also

19:21

with John Daly He's it's awesome.

19:23

The setup that he has at the

19:25

PGA Championship is incredible. He gets to

19:27

drive a cart So he's driving around

19:29

but his caddy has to walk So his

19:31

caddy is carrying his bag and

19:34

then John Daly just driving a car next to him

19:36

not obeying cart path rules Driving all over the place.

19:38

It's awesome. I love to see that a big John

19:40

and The reporter

19:42

for the athletic Gabby Herzig said

19:44

she tweeted this I overheard

19:47

the volunteer with John Daly's group say that

19:49

he went through two packs of cigarettes four

19:51

snicker bars in two cokes today Valhalla had

19:53

to share two sodas.

19:56

What the fuck is wrong? See should have been

19:58

Pepsi would have shot back better. What

20:00

a shop better. That's a fact. That's

20:03

a wild ratio to a pack of

20:05

cigarettes for every soda. Yeah.

20:07

And also, uh, two

20:09

sticker. I think it would be even crazier

20:11

to sticker bars for every pack of,

20:14

of cigarettes. Yeah.

20:17

So wait, stickers bars. How

20:19

many cigarettes are there in a pack

20:21

of two 20, 20, 20. So he smoked 40, 40 cigarettes in 18

20:23

holes. He smoked

20:27

10 cigarettes for every sticker's bar. That's

20:30

fucking incredible. Uh,

20:35

he probably didn't even, he probably didn't throw

20:38

away the cans either. They're just probably filled with cigarette

20:40

butts. Of course. Of course. Jake, have

20:42

you ever smoked a cigarette? Never in my life.

20:44

I have dipped though with you. Oh

20:47

yeah. Remember that. It's not a thing. One

20:51

of the words that also wasn't as black Buffalo. Yeah,

20:54

that's true. Yeah. But yeah, we'll

20:56

get, we'll get you some cigarettes.

20:59

Jake, what if we do a John

21:01

Daly challenge? 40 cigarettes, 18

21:03

holes, two Pepsi's, two four Snickers. Two.

21:05

I think we got to do that as a

21:07

video. I think we got

21:09

to do that as a video. That would rock.

21:12

John, I'm in. I'm so in. I think I

21:15

probably eat the Snickers bars before I even got past

21:18

the first hole. This is how my life goes. I,

21:21

I like start smoking because of some

21:24

stupid PMT related challenge. Then I have

21:26

to start vaping to quit smoking.

21:28

Then I have to start smoking to quit vaping.

21:31

And then I quit smoking and then we do

21:33

another stupid PMT challenge. I have to start smoking

21:35

again. Yeah. All right. Well, we're doing it. Yeah,

21:38

I'm in. Just do it on the simulator. Okay.

21:43

So I'm, I'm looking forward

21:45

to the John Daly challenge. Yeah, I am

21:47

too. It's going to be great. We should

21:50

walk because it'll give us a little more

21:52

time. Watch the cigarettes, four Snickers, two Cokes

21:54

and 18 holes. Get it

21:56

sponsored by Hooters. Two Pepsi. Yeah. Yeah.

21:59

We got this. This is no problem

22:02

Okay, I'm happy we had one more thing

22:04

to talk about okay great blocky lettuce to

22:06

this We're gonna focus back

22:08

cigarettes to play some golf and we

22:10

gotta try to think We

22:13

got it We got a beat John Daly score which we should

22:15

be able to do if we did a scramble plus 16 plus

22:17

16 Do

22:19

we now what if we just did a

22:21

full pack of cigarettes each? So daily was not

22:25

Yeah, maybe maybe me you and Hank will do

22:27

the John Daly challenge we got a finish that's

22:29

actually what we should do Three

22:32

man scramble he shot 11 Okay,

22:35

so that actually makes even more exciting. We

22:37

do the three man scramble have to shoot 11 and

22:41

We do that we do this we split the cigarettes

22:43

the stickers bars and the Pepsi's and if we don't

22:45

do it We have to just do it again right

22:47

away If we don't

22:50

or less than 11 we have to we have

22:52

to just go we have to literally just start

22:54

again The same time like just

22:56

be like alright, so we could have to

22:58

smoke infinity packs of cigarettes What's so funny

23:00

is that smoking? cigarettes in 18

23:03

holes is Essentially what dads

23:05

do to their kids when they find you smoking

23:07

for the first time. They're like, oh you like

23:09

cigarettes Well here I bet you can't smoke for

23:11

you That's that's a

23:13

casual afternoon at the at the links

23:15

for John Daly Alright,

23:18

I love this. So alright, I think the final I

23:20

think what we finally have to decide is it's I

23:22

think it's 40 cigarettes I think we all should have

23:24

to do the four Snickers and two Pepsi's Individually,

23:27

and if we don't shoot better than 11

23:29

we have to go right back and start over. Can

23:31

I be honest with you? I

23:33

think we I think we all have to do the two packs Okay,

23:37

and when we don't shoot 11 we have to start over. Yeah,

23:40

I don't know We I don't know about that

23:42

But I would feel like I was cheating the

23:44

game if I only smoked one pack That's

23:47

the hardest part of the challenge Easily,

23:50

yeah, basically can't have a cigarette

23:52

out of your hand. You can't

23:54

breathe. You're just breathing Yeah,

23:58

you have no time to see stop smoking

24:00

a cigarette. John Daly is

24:02

essentially training at altitude every time he plays

24:04

around in golf because he's not getting any

24:07

oxygen. Oh,

24:09

jeez. If we do this, if we

24:11

do this. He might not have finished the second

24:13

pack, though. We should say that. We probably should

24:15

get a clarification. If anyone can get us an

24:18

actual amount of cigarettes smoked in the

24:20

18 holes, that would help. Because two-pack

24:22

cigarettes doesn't all, like, it could have been he needed

24:24

a second pack, but he didn't get all the way

24:26

through it. Yeah, so who reported this? Gabby

24:29

Herzig. OK, if anybody out there knows Gabby Herzig.

24:31

I'll go to the bottom. Oh, she follows me.

24:34

I'll hit her up. OK, we need to get

24:36

the exact number of cigarettes, or as close

24:38

to it as possible. OK,

24:42

this is going to be fun. Hey, quick question.

24:44

Do you know exactly how many cigarettes John Daly

24:46

smoked? Was it a pack

24:48

and a half, a pack and

24:51

a quarter, or like a full,

24:53

bona fide two-packs of cigarettes? All

24:55

right, we'll get an answer. Did we bomb for the

24:57

Canucks? He just scored. Oh, he did? Fuck.

25:01

I told you guys. You did? I know you

25:04

did. You did? No, no, I'm not blaming you,

25:06

Jake. I'm not blaming you. You did. Good call,

25:08

Jake. I had a new con ant, so I

25:10

didn't really have. Damn it. Yeah,

25:13

that game's a 2-2 right now. We'll talk about it on Sunday.

25:16

OK, let's kick it back to ourselves. OK,

25:19

we're back in studio, and

25:22

Henry Lockwood. You

25:25

didn't beat the Cavs by triple

25:27

digi. No. You did

25:29

get rid of the Cavaliers,

25:32

ended their season. And more importantly, you look well

25:34

rested. You look well rested. We'll get to it

25:36

on Fire Fest. The

25:39

Cavs are gone. They also got

25:41

shamed. Again, this is, I

25:43

think, the third one that's happened. The body

25:45

wasn't even cold yet. It was maybe

25:48

30 minutes after the Cavs get

25:50

bounced. He posts a

25:52

deep dive into the Cleveland Cavaliers and J.B.

25:55

Bickerstaff, which, by the way, he Doesn't

25:57

get enough credit for having the worst coach name of all time. The

26:00

Bickerstaff for the on a fun to

26:02

say that, but it's it's. literally his

26:04

coaching staff has become. Yes, they're upset

26:07

each other. Ah, but he added the

26:09

the charms. Breakdown was so they lose

26:11

Gb Bickerstaff goes back into the locker

26:13

room and probably pulls up his mounties

26:15

like right? I guess I gotta figure

26:18

out my vacation. We went to the

26:20

second round. First time we won a

26:22

playoff series since we're brought or without.

26:24

Lebron James says that Ninety Three. Goes.

26:27

On the Internet and it's just

26:29

this entire story how I got

26:32

undressed by Koby Altman, the team

26:34

president, no one really respected. Donovan.

26:36

Missile doesn't really like I'm ah,

26:38

Jared Allen might be a wimp.

26:41

And and you mean figuratively undress by the

26:43

by the zebra Yes, Okay, yeah said so

26:45

Yeah, it's it's gonna be weird from to

26:48

go through that if we put our conspiracy

26:50

hats on and were speculating like we talked

26:52

with words about. To. Le

26:54

Bron plant this the brand courtside.

26:57

Maybe. Turn elbow the coach out, elbow his way.

27:00

It's not what did we decide that with Brown

27:02

courtside. I think he had his own

27:04

personal bottle of wine with him. Know is does

27:06

yes or your lot to do that. You can

27:08

be y O w if you're Le Bron James

27:10

soon and be a game. Hold on, hold on

27:12

a second, hold us again. So wait was get

27:14

into or it. So Le Bron is gonna go

27:16

back to the gaps. Yeah. Le. Bron

27:18

as a podcast with Jj Redick

27:20

and Le Bron wants to make.

27:24

The. Podcast even bigger. Le.

27:26

Bron gets Jj redick hard by

27:28

the Lakers. Tells. His erratic

27:31

i'm going to get to the Lakers job. But.

27:33

I'm not going to be year. But. At least

27:35

you have the Lakers shop. And. now

27:37

executions are a little different you have this lakers

27:39

shop for a while yeah and daves shovels cassius

27:41

le bron knows that he's a coach killer so

27:43

he's like you know what yes i'm going to

27:45

try a minute put you in a position to

27:47

succeed deserve a buddy we can't be on the

27:49

same team into this podcast i'm gonna go to

27:52

cleveland they'll get different are still abroad is actually

27:54

trying to get to coaches hired right now is

27:56

that actually his way of finally giving back to

27:58

the coaching community i mean that would be Well,

28:00

no, because he also got two coaches fired, if

28:02

that's the case. Yeah,

28:04

but he's trying

28:06

to restore his karma by getting two

28:08

coaches hired in the same cycle. He's

28:10

a job creator. But

28:13

again, he's getting the two coaches hired because he got two

28:15

coaches fired. Wait, what

28:17

other coach? Hypothetically. And

28:20

Bickerstaff. And Bickerstaff. Yes, correct. So he

28:22

is creating new jobs, but he's also

28:25

eliminating old jobs. So he's actually net...

28:27

He's carbon neutral. Carbon neutral. But again,

28:30

none of this might happen. None of this might happen. So,

28:32

yeah. But it's fun. But it's fun to think about. But

28:34

JB Bickerstaff probably... I think that Shom

28:36

says something like this, ready to go for every

28:38

team now that gets bounced. I'm going to be

28:41

disappointed if either, you know, if the

28:43

Nuggets beat the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves

28:45

get bounced. If he doesn't have one ready to go

28:47

for the Timberwolves, if he doesn't have one

28:49

ready to go for the Thunder or maybe the Mavericks, I want

28:51

to see the immediate post-mortems

28:53

on every team. Like, here's why they

28:55

always knew it wasn't going to work.

28:58

Rudy, if I were Rudy Gopear or Carl Anthony

29:00

Towns, I'd like pull a fire alarm tonight trying

29:03

to just extend the series because I

29:05

feel like it's going to go with them. No, you got

29:07

to be a source. You got to be the one... You

29:09

got to have your narrative out there. We

29:12

actually... We should release that

29:14

this podcast is splitting up and see if Shom

29:16

just posts an article. Imagine if we

29:18

just did that and it was just all Hanks quotes. Like,

29:21

what the fuck, dude? Yeah, that'd be... Why did

29:23

you do this? That'd be good. Night night recordings.

29:26

We need that on inside the NBA, too. Yeah.

29:28

Like, give us... Oh, yeah. We're starting to, like,

29:30

allude to it, which is sad. They're not even

29:32

alluding to it. They're just saying it. Yeah. Those

29:35

Barclays are like, I think we're done. Yeah, the

29:37

show's over. It's very sad. I hope they do

29:39

have gone fishing for themselves. Yeah. It

29:41

sucks because it seems like it's... I

29:44

actually have a take. I love

29:46

Ernie Johnson. He's awesome. He does... He is

29:48

the point guard to that. The

29:51

stars of the show are Kenny and Chuck.

29:53

So it will be weird if... Because

29:56

I think what Chuck has basically been saying

29:58

is, like, he'll go somewhere. or else Ernie

30:00

Johnson won't, which will suck because you

30:02

don't want to break up the chemistry. But I still

30:04

think if you have to replace

30:07

one person, you can replace him and

30:09

probably keep going. Probably, but Ernie

30:11

Johnson is the perfect. He's perfect. For that

30:13

show. Absolutely perfect. I love how everyone's

30:15

talking about him. Like he is a Turner lifer.

30:17

He's going to work for that Turner company till the

30:19

day he dies. Yeah, like Ernie, it's okay to not

30:21

be a Turner lifer. Let us keep enjoying the

30:23

show that you've built and has been phenomenal. Like

30:26

no one's going to be like, Oh man, why? How'd you turn

30:28

your back on Turner? Yeah, so I guess it all depends on

30:30

what either network or service

30:33

gets the NBA and who they can

30:35

hire. I'm pretty sure it's NBC.

30:37

I think it's NBC. It's definitely going to be

30:39

NBC. I think it's pretty much NBC. Yeah. So

30:41

who's going to do it from NBC? Jack

30:43

Collins. I was going to say Tony

30:45

Dungy. Mike Florio. Get him out. Tony

30:49

Romo. Tariqo works there. Tariqo. Tariqo.

30:52

I don't think Tariqo would be that good. He's good at everything. They

30:54

would. That's not true. Talking to women. Staying

30:57

away from women. Yeah.

30:59

Um, Jake, you

31:02

walked, you walked yourself into that one. You

31:04

literally just were like, Hey guys, here,

31:06

let me put you on the great guy. Yeah. Let

31:09

me put this on the tee. Uh huh. Okay.

31:12

Uh, podcasts are even better human. Randy

31:15

Moss. Oh yeah. That

31:18

would be sick. Our Randy Moss. Yeah. Our

31:20

Randy Moss would be excellent at that job. No eagle.

31:23

Florio. I'd like to see Florio do it for a day. He'd

31:26

be so upset. He's like, you guys are

31:28

talking about hypotheticals. No, Florio. Get

31:31

back to the facts. No, Florio would throw out some of his

31:33

little NBA fans. Yeah, true. Yeah, you're right.

31:35

We actually do need to unleash Mike Florio's brain on

31:37

the NBA. That would be fun. Okay. I

31:40

take it back. Florio would be perfect for

31:42

that show. Uh, okay. Other game. So,

31:44

oh, sorry. Hank.

31:46

We covered it. Congrats Hank.

31:49

You're Celtic. Cakewalk. In

31:51

our defense, we don't know whether you're going to show

31:53

up to the show anymore. So we have no idea

31:55

if you're sitting here. This is AI Hank. Uh,

31:58

Hank, the Celtics. It was a

32:00

good one, the Cavs fought hard, Marcus Morris,

32:02

career game. They

32:06

were close for the first three quarters. Celtics

32:08

closed it out, almost covered. One

32:11

by fifteen. I don't give

32:13

a fuck about anyone that says that their

32:15

path is easy. There's nothing that the Celtics

32:17

can do about that. All they can

32:19

do is beat the teams in front of them, and that's what

32:21

we're going to do. We're going to smoke New York, maybe

32:24

Indiana if New York absolutely chokes the rest

32:26

of the series. Who

32:28

cares? It's not a valid excuse for

32:31

people to be like, oh, Cupcake,

32:33

Mickey Mouse, Eastern Conference Run. Who

32:36

cares? What are we supposed to do?

32:38

If you're winning games, you're winning series

32:40

four to one. Pretty good.

32:43

There are going to be some hiccup games for sure. We

32:46

talked about Jalen and Jason

32:48

going after each other with the chest

32:50

slap. Do you see Jalen got him

32:52

back? After Jason Tatum hit

32:54

that big shot towards the end of the game, Jalen

32:56

went up to him, slapped him in the chest really hard.

32:59

They laughed about it, had a good time. They're bros

33:01

again. Jalen Brown just needs every single

33:03

day in these off days, just 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000,

33:06

5,000 free throws. What

33:10

about his left hand? That's

33:13

okay. That's

33:15

a little bit of an overrated thing.

33:18

The free throws is real, and the free throws

33:20

are scary. He was two-four last night. It's

33:23

just crazy that it was like this three

33:25

years ago, two years ago last year. There's

33:28

no confidence with him going to the

33:31

line. Watching as a

33:33

fan, it feels like him as a player, which is just

33:36

a nightmare scenario when we are playing

33:38

a good team, fully healthy

33:40

team, close games, every point matters. I'm

33:44

not even worried about the Knicks. I'm worried about

33:47

our free throw making. Are

33:49

you worried a little bit about Jerry O'Connell? Bing

33:52

bong. Bing bong. Bing

33:55

bong, Henry. Bing bong. No, I

33:57

love Jerry. I welcome him with open arms. Here you go.

34:00

Our friend Kirk tweeted this the

34:02

other day, Kirk Minahan, you

34:04

walk around with this in your back pocket, 87

34:07

Lakers path to the finals. They

34:09

beat a 37 and 45 Suns team, a 42 and 40 Nuggets team, and a 36 and 46

34:11

Sonics team. Just

34:16

go around and say that. Have that in the card. Who

34:18

cares? Who cares? You play

34:20

who's in front of you. Path to the finals does not matter. It's

34:22

the perfect thing for Kirk to put out there too. It's like a

34:24

1980s team. Yeah, right. Yeah.

34:27

But like, are they going to take away Magic Johnson's title there? No,

34:29

no one says that. Right. So who cares?

34:32

Happy you stayed cocky. Happy you're here today. Thanks.

34:35

Yeah. Other game. Luca.

34:38

He heard all that junk. He's not hurt

34:41

anymore. No, he's still very hurt.

34:43

So they put up a

34:45

great graphic last night. It was the

34:47

Big Ben graphic. He is the new Big Ben. Right

34:50

knee sprain. Left knee soreness.

34:53

Back soreness. Left Achilles soreness.

34:56

His teeth hurt. And

34:58

he has a parrot and its head's falling off. I

35:01

think the teeth hurt. You got to get that checked

35:03

out. Yeah, the teeth. The teeth is bad. The teeth

35:05

pain is bad. IR from teeth. I think he got

35:07

hit in his teeth. It's not like it's a toothache.

35:09

If you have a toothache, you can't do anything. No.

35:12

But he had a triple double. He looked

35:15

awesome. You okay over there? He's choking

35:17

some water. He's choking some water. You

35:19

okay? That's a grind. Or do you mean

35:21

drowned? That's a grind. That's a job. That's

35:23

a grind. Hank almost drowned

35:26

drinking a body armor. We're

35:29

good. The Thunder, after game four,

35:31

I was like, oh, they earned

35:33

their stripes. Their back did not have any

35:36

stripes anymore because besides Shay Gilderschau Alexander, they

35:38

look like the moment is too big. Jaylen

35:41

Williams has been bad. He needs to be

35:43

really good. And I'm

35:45

just so sick of watching the Thunder pump fake on

35:47

every single possession and then pass and then drive to

35:49

the middle and then pass and then miss a three.

35:51

Yeah, so there are three point shooting in the last

35:54

two games has been atrocious. And

35:56

they're not going to win the series if they shoot 25% from through. They

35:59

have to be. lights out from three and then

36:01

they can win? I don't think they're dead yet.

36:03

No, but they just they they

36:05

have not had anyone besides Shay Gilge's Alexander

36:07

in the last like, General Williams is one

36:10

of their best players. He needs to step

36:12

up, like stop pump faking. He

36:15

feels like there's a crisis of confidence which you

36:17

could totally understand for a young team and

36:20

Shay Gilge's Alexander is a little bit older

36:22

than the other guys where he's been through

36:24

a little bit more. So he has the

36:26

confidence but the young guys are being like

36:29

this moment feels too big. Either

36:32

way it's okay for the Thunder in

36:34

the future but right now and and

36:36

and I am back to they did

36:38

the hack-a-shack again. Shout out Derek Lively

36:40

going five for six from six from

36:42

the free throw line just shoving it

36:44

in their face. But yeah the the

36:46

Mavs, Mavs are a little dangerous

36:48

Hank. Their defense is really good.

36:51

Yeah I hope they can beat the the

36:54

Nuggets. I think they're good. Okay and

36:56

and like can I do I think they'll beat the

36:58

Nuggets? No. And I feel like they have all their

37:01

role players are stepping up in like

37:03

big, PJ Washington's been great. He didn't have

37:05

he had 10 points on on uh Wednesday

37:07

night but like Derek Jones has been awesome

37:10

that block and then dunk sequence with like

37:12

two minutes left which basically the game was

37:14

over but it was like that was the

37:16

dagger. Kyrie's not

37:18

even scoring and they're and they're playing well. You

37:21

think they have a chance against the Nuggets on?

37:23

I know. Think if Luca

37:26

blacks out every game and drops

37:28

50. But or Kyrie. But that's

37:30

a chance. That's the beauty of

37:32

the NBA playoffs if you have a better worst chance

37:35

than the Timberwolves. Worse. I

37:38

think a worse chance. I think there's definitely a high

37:41

likelihood. In fact I think it's probably going to happen where

37:43

either Luca or Kyrie maybe both of them have one game

37:45

where they just go insane and they win a game. I

37:47

don't think it's going to be a sweep. I don't think

37:49

it's going to be 4-1 but I would have the Nuggets

37:51

like Nuggets and six Nuggets

37:53

and seven. I think they have might

37:56

have a better chance just because of the Luca factor.

37:58

Anytime you have a guy like Luca. Who

38:00

is a superstar and you're like

38:02

if he just played was sucking off and

38:04

I understand after game one and two always

38:06

said stories Well, it's the big three has

38:08

a little better than Jason. Oh, wow. Okay,

38:10

so now we know The

38:14

I mean the suck off fest was insane and we

38:16

have an ugly that well I know where to be

38:18

already know whether the wolves are dead or not because

38:20

you listen to the beginning of the show Right.

38:23

I okay. They're dead also

38:25

an underrated part of Show

38:28

was when we asked Hank how it went

38:30

between the Nuggets and the Timberwolves We recorded

38:32

in studio and we're he was like

38:35

bad. Like what do you mean? Just bad? It

38:37

was it was bad Nothing good at the beginning

38:39

of the show nothing good. Yeah Right,

38:42

you don't think Luca though? It's

38:45

a long shot. But Luca is one

38:47

in that group of guys. That's like

38:49

if he just goes insane Anything

38:52

can happen. Yeah, I mean

38:54

Kyrie's kind of in there, too Okay, she's

38:56

obviously higher than that. Yeah, you'll get you

38:59

Bigger like you okay if you'll get goes insane

39:02

and Luca goes insane the Nuggets went. I'm just

39:04

saying that if Luca has that

39:07

Few guys in the league that's like they

39:09

could control a series if they just play

39:12

out of their minds That's

39:14

where his ceiling is. I hope he

39:16

does. Okay. Yeah I think that the

39:18

Nuggets have even like for those guys where

39:20

if they have they're capable of having incredible

39:22

nights and when they do They're probably

39:24

gonna win. I just think that the the Nuggets

39:27

have too much talent for the Mavericks. Okay Hockey

39:30

the abs fought back people said that

39:32

I was there was been injuries with

39:34

the abs I was wrong to say

39:36

to crown the Stars. I

39:38

still think the Stars gonna win this series I said

39:40

that I said to look out for the abs, but

39:42

my opinion is solely based on spit and checklist Yeah,

39:45

that's right. That was pre pre playoffs

39:47

opinion I know is pre this series. Okay

39:49

before the series I mind pre playoffs opinion

39:52

from Ryan Whitney saying the stars of

39:54

the best team Yes stars are but but

39:56

also these two teams like this whoever wins

39:58

the series might They're probably gonna be

40:00

the favorite to come out of the West. Yeah, okay,

40:02

so We should talk

40:05

about the NFL schedule release. We finally have

40:07

the schedule release. I Have

40:09

a real old man yells at cloud

40:11

take I think Hank agrees with me. I don't know

40:14

where you are PFT Are you talking about teams getting

40:16

too cute with it? I'm talking

40:18

about the entire thing I'm

40:20

talking about the leaks. I'm

40:23

talking about the intentional leaks

40:25

the unintentional leaks the release

40:28

of the release of the schedule I'm

40:31

kind of overall of it I actually

40:33

wish the NFL would go to a

40:35

system where we don't even know when

40:37

it's coming out and it's just

40:39

a Random Tuesday afternoon the schedule is out

40:42

because the surprise of it would be awesome

40:44

This just feels like it's gotten to a point where it's

40:46

so Everyone's like I

40:49

got to be cute every team accounts got to

40:51

be cute and We know so

40:53

much of the schedule before the schedule even

40:55

gets take put out there that the moment

40:57

just doesn't like Seven

40:59

o'clock hit I had

41:01

known the Bears schedule for what seven hours

41:04

What we have to do is we have

41:06

to have fake releases that come out so

41:08

that way you you can't trust in the

41:10

leaks that you see but or just I'm

41:12

saying like 11 o'clock

41:14

like if if Chefter hadn't tweeted this last week

41:16

and I know they have to make it entertainment.

41:18

They have to make a TV show I get

41:20

it. It's never gonna change, but I think it

41:22

would rock if at like 11

41:24

o'clock on this this week Tuesday You

41:27

just got a tweet from the NFL being like

41:29

schedules are out. Go check your schedule out now.

41:31

It's like, holy shit Yeah, it from a fan

41:33

perspective. Also, it would be electric if they just

41:35

announced next week's schedule During

41:37

that break between the afternoon games and Sunday night

41:40

football. Yeah, we said the selection show So just

41:42

yeah, it's every week Yeah Every week you get

41:44

to determine you get to figure out who you're

41:46

playing the next week Then then you have like

41:49

even if you lose your game on Sunday and

41:51

you're depressed because your team just lost You

41:53

Get to have something to look forward to like. Let's find out

41:55

who we're playing tonight! It would never happen because of travel and

41:58

all that, right? but. The

42:00

is it become a big production? Yeah for

42:02

sure I'd I honestly do not know why

42:04

they had. A. Big show around.

42:06

The schedule is because the event

42:08

is the schedules out there. That's.

42:11

That's like a one and done thing where it's like.

42:14

Used any sit and go through all the

42:17

schedules. You talk about your favorite matchups over

42:19

the course the season. Odd to me that

42:21

it it feels like it's a big production

42:23

with that's what the interval does right? and

42:25

they're like weekend we could dominate one more

42:27

night of the week in the middle of

42:29

May. Yeah, let's let's just pull over market

42:31

initiatives put into that and then all the

42:33

team council because obviously social impressions. Mean.

42:35

A lot to to the value of the team

42:37

right arm so it becomes that yes like prom

42:40

word prom will what it is. I was on

42:42

our with saw. Our. Guys Randy Bill today

42:44

on his for radio and we were talking about

42:46

the schedule least and how it's gotten so crazy.

42:48

It's a sense of the Nfl. It just ah

42:50

has stepped on our drugs so much and we

42:53

just keep taking. Their. Like hey,

42:55

we're going to just we're gonna, We're gonna make

42:57

you watch the schedule least in the middle May

42:59

hey. We're. Going to make you

43:01

wash friday Football in Brazil. They

43:03

have a Wednesday football. Worry.

43:05

That they're throwing the baby powder old and were

43:08

like yeah find will take it as a call,

43:10

give it to us or take all that yeah

43:12

day And that yeah you're right. the announcement of

43:14

when the schedule will be released, the build up

43:16

to the release, the leaks into the release. if

43:18

you just if. You get a doubt

43:20

that Mark Cuban said pigs gets fed, togs

43:22

get slaughtered right? Turns out he was kind

43:24

of wrong and I can see and of

43:26

those don't really really good at Samuel. from

43:28

that moment on is gone like somewhat do

43:30

better. And also hogs are delicious. Yes I

43:32

I will eat a hog. I don't eat

43:34

a pig saga soldering hogs great the fatter

43:36

the better. yeah but yeah it does feel

43:38

like you're going through get high on their

43:40

own supply little bit by our age knowing

43:42

in spot we're going to keep keep consuming

43:44

that shit right? like I'm I hate being

43:46

in the spot where my god this is

43:48

too much because. It's just. The.

43:50

Being a cynical guy sucks, but. It

43:53

just felt a little too much more. I feel

43:55

like in the past it it was. It

43:58

seems forced. This year we're at sea. There

44:00

was a mandate from every team to try and

44:02

do something really creative in the past It was

44:04

like some teams just release their schedules some teams

44:06

do something funny Some teams would just

44:08

do like a generic, you know schedule release video

44:11

This year was everyone seemed to be like, you

44:13

know You have a budget and do something crazy

44:15

and some of them were so corny That

44:18

it was like this is bad and some

44:20

of them but the Patriots one was Patriots almost okay I

44:22

said I'm gonna killed it. Yeah, Ron killed

44:24

it Pagerty Adams

44:27

great the Patriots one was great the

44:30

Chargers obviously are the gold standard I

44:32

the Titans did something great last year and

44:34

like let's run it back. I love that.

44:37

Yeah, that's fine. Like it worked Let's do

44:39

it again. Stobby. We love stobby. That was

44:41

great There were so many though that

44:43

were just confusing Like I it's

44:45

cuz there's 32 of them and they all come out

44:47

at the exact same time Right, like I you you

44:49

were in the Cowboys when I was in the Packers

44:51

one. I didn't understand the Packers one way at all

44:53

It's such a sad thing for this podcast that our

44:55

biggest rivals just call us up and they're like, hey

44:58

Hey, you guys are such losers that we want

45:00

to use your face in her marketing initiative No,

45:02

how was one though? Like they used to I

45:05

understand. I was getting confused because they used They

45:08

did two people per game No,

45:12

some of them. Well, no we play

45:14

so the commanders play against the Cowboys

45:16

twice And so they had

45:18

me and RG 3 I went first no big deal

45:21

Was in their home game or theirs I Like

45:25

the line I think I was the home game for

45:27

the Cowboys. I was the commander's home game Oh,

45:29

that's against them. Well RG 3 doesn't do so.

45:31

Well, that's from the FedEx road turf I'm pretty

45:33

sure for the Lions they had like someone Jerry

45:36

Jones calling some from the Lions and right after

45:39

Tim and post Malone calling from my

45:41

personal friend post. Yeah, I was

45:43

it was it was a little a little

45:45

confusing Yeah, there were some confusing videos out

45:47

there in years. Yeah, the Packers. I made

45:49

no sense Watching for you be like, please

45:52

show up soon. It was Joe bucking me

45:54

back to back It was uh, I

45:56

was thinking about a PFT because I wrestled with

45:59

it. I actually didn't know you were doing the Cowboys until

46:01

I was I basically walked around this office

46:03

being like should I do this I feel like they're

46:05

gonna set me up and then Hank was like well

46:07

he's doing the Cowboys once you might as well but

46:11

I'm okay with not being asked by the

46:13

Bears because I'm honest about the Bears I've

46:15

said some things about the Bears that the

46:17

Bears probably don't like there's probably people in

46:19

the building that are like that guy has

46:21

said some things about ownership about the team

46:23

about the franchise whatever Packers I've

46:25

just been I hate hate

46:27

their fucking guts and they know

46:29

that and so it's like all right we can let this

46:31

guy say that he eats their fucking guts yeah yeah I

46:33

mean it's it was a cool thing to be involved with

46:36

but at the same time it was like the Cowboys are

46:38

just they know that they have

46:40

dominated the commanders recently and they want me to be

46:42

the face of losers and I'm happy to do that

46:44

I was negotiating with the Packers like

46:46

it was a terrorist negotiation because they hit me

46:48

up and immediately I said no and

46:51

they're like well let us just send you the idea they sent me

46:53

the idea and I was like I'm not gonna do it like this

46:55

I'm gonna do it my way I'm gonna send you a video if

46:57

you want to use it fine that's good I was

46:59

like I'm just gonna say fuck you guys cuz I

47:01

can't do it any other I'm not gonna I'm I

47:03

wasn't gonna play the Cowboys a little game right oh

47:06

no the Cowboys oh I can't believe that I I

47:08

put on my Dan Quinn backwards hat yeah and I

47:10

was like we got your leader they edited that out

47:12

probably smart on their part yeah but yeah I think

47:14

they edited out me saying I hope Jordan love gets

47:16

hit by a bus yeah it's probably smart listen we're

47:18

gonna fight fire with fire say

47:21

iron sharpens iron we've we made your team work

47:23

a little bit harder for that release I liked

47:25

what the Chargers did with the Sims I

47:27

had an idea for the Chargers that I think that they should have

47:29

used they should have had Connor

47:31

Stallions on a twitch

47:33

stream on Expedia looking

47:36

up tickets and game time looking

47:38

up like flights and tickets to all their

47:40

opponents the week before the Chargers were gonna

47:43

play them that would have been

47:45

good or if you want to dial it back

47:47

the Chargers should have had Harbaugh just

47:49

hand them the schedule and just have Harbaugh read

47:51

the schedule into the camera yeah and just pure

47:53

Harbaugh yeah just get that but uh

47:56

yeah they were they were good next year we should

47:58

probably make our own cheesy schedule release Part

48:01

of my take is released Monday, Wednesday,

48:03

Friday. I also, they

48:05

used to do them during the day. I

48:08

don't know. It was definitely not a

48:10

prime time. Every team was like, tonight, eight

48:12

o'clock, teaser, they overhyped it. I

48:16

know. I hate being, I just really

48:18

hate, because it was a fun thing where you're

48:20

right, Hank, it was the perfect mix of like

48:22

say half the league just released their schedule and

48:25

half the league tried something. Now everyone's trying something

48:27

and so many of them don't hit that you're

48:29

like, this is weird. They're going

48:31

to do it, they're going to end up doing

48:33

it like staggered where, okay, NFC East, all their

48:35

teams released a schedule at 7pm. Yeah.

48:38

AFC East 715. It's going to be like

48:40

the bracket show. Yeah.

48:43

This is my first real season just

48:45

accepting being a huge loser fan. Oh,

48:49

you're actually accepting it. Yeah, no, it's

48:51

going to be a long season. And I

48:53

had the realization that I was, I

48:55

loved the video so much. I

48:59

was like, this is going to be the highlight of the year. Yeah. Yeah.

49:02

You're going to start looking forward to this day. I

49:04

know in like November, I'm going to look back and

49:07

be like, oh, that's not true. Remember when we, like

49:09

how funny this was? That's not true. Drake made his

49:11

like first long bomb will be the highlight of your

49:13

year. Yeah, but no, Hank's right. It's going to be

49:15

like, you know, we had four losing seasons in a

49:17

row, but you know what? We won

49:19

the internet. People were telling us we won the internet,

49:21

sir. Oh, you are a loser now. I

49:23

know. Yeah, that is the biggest loser thing because

49:25

I've been there. I know. Yeah, we're

49:27

winning the off season. Oh, nothing better. Hang

49:30

the banner. Oh yeah. You're going to

49:33

start fantasizing about like wide receiver free agents. Yeah.

49:35

Yeah. We're going to be

49:38

looking at tanking or not tanking, but like it's

49:40

going to be, I'll be watching college football probably

49:42

closer than ever before this year. I thought that

49:44

the Panthers should have had David Tepper just walking

49:46

around up to people that were wearing different, like

49:48

different strangers wearing hats of all their teams and going

49:51

up and taking their hats off them and then showing

49:53

it to the camera. Week one. Yeah. What

49:56

if he just threw a drink in someone's face and

49:58

then the logo came up? Yeah, I like that too.

50:02

As for the actual schedule, we had the top

50:04

10 easiest schedules this

50:06

year, which I guess we

50:08

kind of knew because we already knew the

50:11

opponents, but Falcons, Chargers, Bears, Jets, Saints, Memes,

50:13

we are by the way. Do

50:15

you want to talk real quick about the

50:18

pervert sicko Henry Lockwood and what he's going

50:20

to probably do to us this year? Because

50:23

the Jets and the Bears

50:26

first two months are

50:28

very winnable. And then

50:30

they get difficult. So the

50:32

ride that we could potentially go on here,

50:35

Memes, is quite something. If

50:38

we beat the Niners, it's always.

50:40

Yeah. Yeah, I think we could start

50:42

5-0. Monday night. Have

50:44

you, has the uh, has the FBI reached

50:46

out to you at Memes? Not yet, because

50:50

only if he gets season ending injury

50:52

then. So you've got, you went from

50:54

being like super depressed, threatened to strap

50:56

a bomb on your chest two

50:58

days ago to now you're like, we're going to win that

51:00

game. If, if. He said if.

51:02

I'm just saying if. 49ers are really

51:04

fucking good. And the Jets do, I

51:07

think they have six prime time games, but

51:09

they also do start with the easier schedule.

51:11

The Bears start, we don't play a division

51:13

game until week 10 and we

51:16

have some very winnable games in

51:18

the first two months. No prime time though. What

51:21

do you mean? Or no, like I

51:23

guess they have the we're playing London and well,

51:25

no week two Sunday night football against CJ Stroud

51:27

in Texas. Is there

51:29

any other prime time though? Yeah, there's a, the

51:32

Bears have a Monday night football game against the

51:34

uh Vikings and they have London

51:36

and then Thursday night against

51:39

the Seahawks and Lions Thanksgiving

51:41

Day. And all the

51:43

flex, I did think we would get like one or

51:45

more or two more Monday night footballs. Did the flex

51:47

scheduling become more complicated this offseason? Because they put out

51:49

the rules for like which games can be flexed. It

51:51

felt like there were like I

51:54

don't know like four or five different scenarios where it's

51:56

like, I'm not sure. Week six through 10, you can

51:58

do this. Weeks 11 through. 17 you

52:00

can do two of these unless one is taken earlier.

52:03

It was it was very complicated follow But I

52:05

think it's good that you have the opportunity if there

52:08

is a big injury like there was last year with

52:10

Aaron Rodgers Like I would prefer not

52:12

to have to watch the Jets in prime time all the

52:14

time. Yeah. Yeah, I agree We

52:16

win the three of us play in a

52:18

little round Robin. You don't play the Patriots,

52:20

right? I don't play the Patriots Yeah, but

52:23

you play the Bears and then two weeks

52:25

later the Patriots play the Bears Yep, and

52:27

then in terms of hardest schedules, it

52:30

is I had it right here. Hold on It

52:33

is the Steelers the

52:35

Patriots the Browns

52:38

the Vikings and the Ravens. Yeah.

52:41

Yeah, so I've hardest schedule So a lot

52:43

of AFC north teams in that and the

52:45

hardest schedule because they're all very good The

52:48

last nine weeks for the Steelers are absolutely

52:50

brutal Yeah, so the last nine weeks for

52:52

the Steelers the commanders the

52:54

Ravens the Browns the Bengals the

52:57

Browns The Eagles

52:59

the Ravens the Chiefs

53:02

the Bengals again. Yeah, I just tossed the commanders

53:04

in there the It's really

53:06

the last eight weeks Last eight weeks are

53:08

the hardest stretch by far and this is the fun

53:10

time where everyone goes through their schedule and they're like

53:12

Oh, this is a realistic thing and and guess what

53:15

all that is gonna be relevant by week two Yeah,

53:17

cuz every every team that you think is gonna be

53:19

bad is gonna be good and every team that's gonna

53:21

be good It can be bad and there's gonna be

53:23

six QB injuries, but I'm not

53:25

I've done it I think four different times

53:27

already in my head going through the Bears schedule So

53:30

I'm not poo-pooing it everyone should do this Just remember

53:32

that what you're doing is just an exercise to get

53:34

you closer to football. Mm-hmm. That's true. That's true This

53:36

is how we pass the time in the off seat,

53:38

right? And the NFL is also using the Chiefs as

53:41

like their big experiment They have the Chiefs playing on

53:43

every night of the week and love for Tuesday now

53:45

We'll watch and we'll watch it every single time That's

53:47

what I'm saying They're they they split up on our

53:49

drugs But they give us a little bit of the

53:52

Chiefs a little bit of the Chiefs and you've got

53:54

the Swifties that are gonna Be signing up for all

53:56

these streaming services. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that

53:58

most Swifties out there They're they're

54:00

well acquainted with all the streaming services. Yeah,

54:02

and we and also everyone's good to in

54:04

to see Harrison Booker. Yeah, Harrison

54:07

Booker He's quite something.

54:09

He's something. He's something else that guy. I I

54:11

don't know why anyone has not just had the

54:13

take of He's their kicker who

54:15

cares? Yeah, so why are we listening to

54:18

a kicker? It was uh, it

54:20

was weird that he did that at a college

54:22

Commencement. Yeah to be like hey your

54:24

most important role is actually going to be just being

54:26

a homemaker Yeah, you should do that Also,

54:29

just as his whole vibe. I'd never really

54:31

gotten a good look at Harrison Booker before

54:33

He looks exactly like the guy from the

54:35

meme that just says yes all the time.

54:37

Yeah, you're the blonde haired guy Yeah, that's

54:39

him. I think he styled his his own

54:41

image He's crafted in the likeness

54:44

of that guy because he appreciates what that guy

54:46

stands for. He also has got some weird Like

54:49

almost like he could be a Civil War general

54:52

beard going. Yeah, you remember that was

54:54

it? General Andrew Luck. Yes

54:56

general Harrison Booker. Yeah, he's a kicker

54:58

but also like slightly Misogynistic

55:00

if you're if you're bad drums, you have to be a

55:03

little pissed here, right? Like your kicker shouldn't

55:05

be making headlines Yep, that's just

55:07

a fact. I agree. We did not

55:09

have your kicker being in controversies whatsoever

55:11

Do you think the the 49ers kickers

55:14

said something slightly less problematic like 10

55:16

minutes before Harrison Booker got on stage? Yeah,

55:18

yeah, that would be great. But yeah, that

55:20

was a I never thought Harrison Booker debates

55:22

would be How we spend

55:25

an entire week also just his name

55:27

has butt in it. Yeah, so that's fun He's

55:29

probably that's probably what he's overcompensating for. Yeah.

55:32

Yeah something there. I mean that with the beard the

55:35

the speech The name

55:38

the kicker position. He's it feels

55:40

like he's like hey Harrison. It's

55:42

okay, man Nothing earlier. We're

55:44

sure you're strong like you're it's okay.

55:46

You can be confident in yourself Nothing

55:48

says masculinity like like a kicker who

55:50

met his wife in middle school band

55:53

practice Here's

55:58

the Booker It was funny though. he did. Start to

56:00

cry when he talked about meeting his wife and

56:02

band. Size and then she

56:04

converted form which is cool. Honestly like they probably

56:06

have very happy marriage. Yeah happy for a good

56:09

for them. But yes, you can let other people

56:11

live their life how they want to live their

56:13

life. And ah and again it was a kicker.

56:15

Yeah, kicker. Taking is my really good kisser Mike

56:18

The interject Oliver: yeah, we're We're We're it's. We.

56:20

Don't need to take advice from kickers and

56:22

know France kickers. but authentic. If you think

56:24

you're going to have again, back to the

56:26

Swift. Is there going to be tuning in

56:28

there rooting for the Chiefs? They're probably going

56:30

to hate this fucking guy. big he actually

56:32

quota Taylor Swift. Earlier. In the

56:34

commencement speech which is the or rise he did that.

56:37

That's it on purpose as a very funny troll tractor

56:39

do tell us with quotes and then followed up with

56:41

all that They're going to be rooting for the Chiefs

56:43

but also rooting for the guy to miss field. or

56:45

yeah they might roof for they might actually the city's

56:47

my try to get the she's like disbanded yeah. We.

56:51

Have it's if you're Chiefs fan. Of

56:53

your Taylor Swift's. A recently made Chiefs

56:55

fan who was started as a Swift to

56:57

you have a lot of questions and honestly

57:00

are looking in the mirror because we do

57:02

have a lot of Swift is Alison the

57:04

show we've all we've been. Pretty fair balance

57:06

I think about talking about her. Ah. Really?

57:09

If. Travis does not demand a train from the

57:12

Chiefs. It tells you a lot about his personal

57:14

values yup, that he's willing to tolerate a him

57:16

let teammate like that because. Terrible.

57:18

Things happen when good people remain silent.

57:20

And so far I haven't heard anything

57:22

from Travis Kelsey about this. ominously this

57:24

right now. Ah. I.

57:26

Officially. Will.

57:28

Never sign with against she's as long as

57:31

Toronto. I do not see

58:20

through our driveway. People are saying that was done

58:22

on purpose out. The. Saying the setting up the

58:24

that might be bridge too far if they did that

58:26

on purpose. If we're bending the schedule. Around

58:28

Taylor Swift if that's actually something's happening.

58:31

That. Might be too far for me. Yeah, that's

58:33

a coincidence we I. We get accused of glazing

58:35

a certain person a lot but I'll say that

58:37

plumbers that works at the Preakness. Career

1:05:10

every five seconds of be abused

1:05:12

as a child exert hours. I

1:05:14

was so levels master as the

1:05:16

lead seen a reply to a

1:05:19

schedule release on Twitter right there

1:05:21

that was great so I'd so

1:05:23

to secretary. Or as.

1:05:26

He. Did Sarah? It's. Okay, that's

1:05:28

yeah. that's a firestorm of controversy here

1:05:30

right now through Jason Chelsea Gym and

1:05:33

I wait. and as well, Ah,

1:05:35

but there's no way to know. For.

1:05:37

A fact, right? Although

1:05:39

you know, Look. Steroids

1:05:42

were rampant and thoroughbred

1:05:44

racing. And me. Nineteen

1:05:47

seventies on tolls and the Nineteen

1:05:49

eighties. I know in the nineties.

1:05:51

I know in the two thousands.

1:05:53

I know. All. The way up

1:05:55

until it's a big brown and two thousand and

1:05:58

eight be. Remember. You. Controversy.

1:06:01

When. Rick Dutrow. The. Trainer A

1:06:03

Big Brown after winning the Kentucky Derby

1:06:05

in the Preakness, was just asked point

1:06:07

blank by reporter. It. Is

1:06:09

Big Business was right in the

1:06:11

middle of the baseball controversies right

1:06:13

with Sammy Sosa, Mark Maguire, and

1:06:15

Barry Bonds. Does Big

1:06:18

Brown is the answer? Sen Rick

1:06:20

Dutrow be very honest, suggests he's

1:06:22

on at anabolic steroids. Pretty

1:06:25

much all the horses run anabolic steroids,

1:06:27

right? Back then. Trainers.

1:06:30

Believed that the therapeutic

1:06:32

benefits of anabolic steroids.

1:06:35

Outweighed. Any. Of the

1:06:37

negatives, they didn't and I didn't

1:06:39

really view anabolic steroids. As

1:06:42

that much of a performance enhancer

1:06:44

they they viewed it as. You

1:06:47

know, helping horses recover after

1:06:49

races, recover after injuries, increasing

1:06:51

their appetite, helping put on

1:06:53

muscle mass, And all

1:06:55

that, So like secretariat. Was.

1:06:58

Running at a time where on told.

1:07:01

Anabolic steroid use was rampant.

1:07:04

And. Thoroughbred Racing. When Secretariat

1:07:06

was retired, he had

1:07:08

some immature sperm That

1:07:10

was a concern to

1:07:12

breeders. Is bad happens

1:07:14

to be a side effect of anabolic

1:07:16

steroid use. Does that mean he was

1:07:18

definitely on steroids? Know. I

1:07:21

yeah when he died he had they

1:07:23

autopsy to be at an enlarged heart

1:07:25

which again is a side effect. One.

1:07:28

Of the side effects of anabolic steroids, So

1:07:30

that you know I a there is

1:07:33

a i think a pretty strong possibility

1:07:35

that Secretary of his racing on anabolic

1:07:37

steroids. But here's the deal. So or

1:07:39

the other horses he was running and

1:07:41

yeah right if secretary it was on

1:07:44

anabolic steroids you know Sham was. He

1:07:46

wasn't just solution Laura on the train or secretary

1:07:48

that had access to the stuff. He.

1:07:52

He ah he to. We won the triple crown. He

1:07:55

said track records and all three races

1:07:57

that still stand Okay, They

1:08:00

held up through the seventies through the

1:08:02

eighties through the nineties, through the two

1:08:04

thousands when anabolic steroid use was rapper.

1:08:07

So it does. It really gets.

1:08:09

Might he have run a little

1:08:12

faster with anabolic steroid? Yes. Does.

1:08:15

It take to use Legacy.

1:08:18

In any way to me now. Because.

1:08:20

He was an incredibly dominant

1:08:23

resource against all competitions. Are.

1:08:26

What are the most incredible, dominant resources in

1:08:28

the history of the game at a time

1:08:30

when pretty much all the horses were running

1:08:32

on that stuff? Yeah, it's like Barry Bonds

1:08:34

yeah, records will still stand. He was compute

1:08:36

going up against saw some city competition at

1:08:39

the time, but he was foreign away. the

1:08:41

best baseball player that I've ever seen. And

1:08:43

so nothing to change. That I did make my

1:08:45

four year old son Chris changes wallpaper on as

1:08:47

I phone he had to take down Secretariat. I

1:08:49

think I'm going to allowed to put it back

1:08:51

up. We. Can forgive secretary. that's what

1:08:54

he did. Because. Everybody else was doing

1:08:56

at the same time. And in my

1:08:58

eyes. It. Does not take that accomplishments. Oh

1:09:00

thank you thank you for explaining that to Elsa.

1:09:02

Very fair response. I think it's very, very thorough

1:09:04

response. Yes, he does. Okay, do you know as

1:09:06

really good or it's almost. It's. Almost

1:09:08

a sec. religious right people thing to say.

1:09:11

anything. They could be construed as negative about

1:09:13

Secretary Of. but it's just you know you

1:09:15

have to be honest. but of stuff. Yeah

1:09:17

yeah. ah. the birds are backed. You want

1:09:19

to walked closer to the parking lot of

1:09:21

nothingness? Have. Survived

1:09:23

go go to the courtyard so

1:09:25

I let sort of. Let's talk

1:09:27

about this race was sort of

1:09:29

a Mystic Dan that was are

1:09:32

incredible. Kentucky Derby Very very thrilling.

1:09:34

Ah I I you I'm an

1:09:36

idiot. I my name is Dan

1:09:38

and. I stood a bit message and

1:09:40

you told us that if there was one

1:09:42

horse that would you know surprise? everyone is

1:09:44

missing Dan. I. Do believe that

1:09:46

if I bet mystic Danny would have probably finish

1:09:48

last. But. Ah, how are we

1:09:51

feeling about Mystic Dan? Now going

1:09:53

to the Preakness? Everyone wants to

1:09:55

see a triple crown winner. Ah

1:09:57

Muth! The favorite Bob Baffert horses

1:09:59

out. Cleaver. Ah so what's

1:10:01

this story? Would miss again? Is

1:10:04

this horse legit? Have a

1:10:06

chance at winning the triple crown and is

1:10:08

it quickly like a hey he wanted as

1:10:10

a eighteen to one, but this is a

1:10:12

real good horse. Okay

1:10:14

like a he got what we call and

1:10:16

horse racing it. Perfect trips in the Kentucky

1:10:18

Derby that he was sitting on the

1:10:20

rail all the way around. He.

1:10:22

Got through on the inside, the top

1:10:25

of the stretch, he ran a shorter

1:10:27

distance. Than. A competitions

1:10:29

but he also has

1:10:31

the acceleration seven jobs.

1:10:34

To go through a tight holes when when the

1:10:36

time came for I a lot of horses get

1:10:38

perfect trips and they sit along the rails and

1:10:40

then a whole opens up and are not fast

1:10:43

enough to get through the whole. Mystic

1:10:45

Dad had that quick acceleration.

1:10:48

At the pursuit through that opening at

1:10:51

the top of a stretch, Debruyne Hernandez

1:10:53

steered him through an open up a

1:10:55

weed and just barely hang on. Was.

1:10:57

He a better horse in Sierra

1:11:00

Leone or forever young? Probably not.

1:11:03

Almost. Certainly not. Because they

1:11:05

covered a lot more ground. And

1:11:07

it was also a lot of bumping

1:11:09

through the stretch that we can talk

1:11:11

about. If you odd mixture to Elsner,

1:11:13

totally drop the ball on the ah

1:11:15

ah so okay you know a bit

1:11:18

for those reasons and plus now he's

1:11:20

gotta come back in two weeks which

1:11:22

trainer kinda greek was may not to

1:11:24

go did not too worried for enthusiastic

1:11:26

about doing. I. Think he's a

1:11:28

bet against. Okay, going to

1:11:31

be a shorter price than he should be. because

1:11:33

he won the Kentucky Derby, he got a perfect

1:11:35

trip which is probably not going to get Saturday's

1:11:37

coming back in two weeks. They'll for

1:11:39

all those reasons why be shocked to see him

1:11:41

when know. But from a betting standpoint I think

1:11:43

is a bet against Iran's perfect race is unlikely

1:11:45

that he'll have a perfect race that unfolds in

1:11:47

front of the That makes some sense. Yeah so

1:11:49

what about the bumping down the stretch? The I

1:11:51

talked about what happened there. Okay,

1:11:54

Ah, it, We all knew and

1:11:56

we talked about this on the

1:11:58

telecast several times. Sierra Leone

1:12:00

the worst Finished second in that already

1:12:03

has a longstanding habit. Of

1:12:05

of veering to his last as

1:12:07

he comes down the stretch. right?

1:12:09

As you're watching the raise your body would be. To.

1:12:12

Your right to his last is is coming.

1:12:14

I'm a lark. He's. Done at an

1:12:16

almost all as races Tyler Gaffe Leone knows that.

1:12:19

Are. Jab around the train or newest and at the

1:12:21

top of the stretch. Ah, He

1:12:23

pulled up next to the Japanese horse

1:12:25

Forever Young and he pretty much mods

1:12:28

Forever Young. The. Entire length of

1:12:30

this dress. And then as they

1:12:32

hit the wire in a three horse photo

1:12:34

finish, the jockey of Sierra Leone to our

1:12:36

gaffe Leone appeared to keep rarely lose his

1:12:38

balance with all the bumping. And

1:12:40

reached out of and put his hand

1:12:42

on the Japanese source as the horses

1:12:44

got to the wire. V.

1:12:48

What happened in the run through

1:12:50

the stretch with Sierra Leone caught.

1:12:52

you know I've repeatedly bumping. And.

1:12:55

Mugging. Forever. Young look

1:12:58

to that's an elementary school

1:13:00

disqualification. When. You

1:13:02

reach out and you put your

1:13:04

hand on another horse that's in

1:13:07

elementary school. Disqualification when all this

1:13:09

happens. Do you put up

1:13:11

the Emperor He signed that's in elementary

1:13:13

school decision. The stewards didn't. The

1:13:15

Churchill Downs, they blew it bad

1:13:17

one on all. recounts. And

1:13:20

all I can say is the turtle bounds

1:13:22

and is one hundred and fifty celebration. Is

1:13:26

incredibly lucky. That Sierra

1:13:28

Leone didn't win that race by a nose

1:13:31

or because he would a bit. And one

1:13:33

of the biggest controversies in the history of

1:13:35

the Kentucky Derby. That. The stewards left

1:13:37

the number up and didn't disqualifies. So what's the

1:13:39

probably like with the process for the to the

1:13:41

is or any accountability? Have people ask them about

1:13:43

it Like why didn't want a new release? Take

1:13:45

another look at. It. You.

1:13:47

Know there could be accountability with

1:13:49

the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission if

1:13:52

there was a challenge. By.

1:13:54

The connections of the Japanese towards Russia

1:13:57

which is unlikely to happen. I think

1:13:59

it's a. Cultural thing. they be like

1:14:01

their guests in this country. After

1:14:03

the running of the race, the jockey

1:14:05

of Forever Young, a Sekai who speaks

1:14:07

know English. At

1:14:10

a conversation with the other Japanese jockey

1:14:12

in the race on T O Password,

1:14:14

he finished fifth who does speak some

1:14:16

English as they were walking back to

1:14:18

the jocks room. About claiming

1:14:20

foul. And it at

1:14:22

that point I mean it's you know the

1:14:24

Japanese rider was told is pretty much too

1:14:27

late. So. There was

1:14:29

a language barrier as much as anything as

1:14:31

to why there wasn't a foul line with

1:14:33

their didn't need to be us outlined. The

1:14:35

stewards input the inquiry sign up can see

1:14:38

what's going on. And. It was

1:14:40

such a no brainer decision and

1:14:42

they just bullet. My. Weekly

1:14:44

blew up. There are we will have

1:14:46

we would on am already there were

1:14:48

seven Be there were Seventy Farm sorry

1:14:51

to interrupt you the wrong seventy five

1:14:53

million dollars right? Wagered on exact is

1:14:55

try factors and super sectors and the

1:14:57

Kentucky Derby in which the second third

1:14:59

place order of finish was paramount. Yeah,

1:15:01

there was a five hundred thousand dollar

1:15:04

difference I believe in person money between

1:15:06

the second and third voice actress. So

1:15:08

so so it was an expensive gas

1:15:10

maybe a Bruges Boston and that's why

1:15:12

there were people upset. And.

1:15:15

This is that thing I could be the

1:15:17

recipient of. The Japanese firms are being too

1:15:19

polite. There's a lot of gamblers in America

1:15:21

that aren't known for being super polite about.

1:15:23

that's where thing maybe. Class action lawsuit against

1:15:25

Ah against the Kentucky Derby? Grub.

1:15:28

I mean like. They're very,

1:15:30

they're extremely lucky. Automotive Business. Hundred

1:15:32

fiftieth anniversary karma or whatever. You

1:15:34

know. This is a many controversy

1:15:36

because it doesn't involve the winner

1:15:38

Mystic Man, you don't You haven't

1:15:41

read much. Or

1:15:43

anything like that. When trust me,

1:15:45

if it was Sierra Leone that he crossed

1:15:47

wires two or three inches further ahead and

1:15:49

won the race and a photo. It

1:15:51

would be absolute chaos right now with

1:15:53

the controversy. Switch Out about the photo

1:15:56

finish and house electric the photofinishers and

1:15:58

I were like would have it. Before

1:16:00

there was a photo finish big gap brought up a

1:16:02

good point which is that he he thinks that probably

1:16:04

the photo finish was invented. For. Horse where

1:16:06

you had like todo day photograph sort of

1:16:08

just for sports racing and or for horse

1:16:11

racing for gambled us so before there was

1:16:13

a photo finish was are just one guy

1:16:15

up in a stand with binoculars. And.

1:16:17

Whenever he said that would be the winner. Three.

1:16:20

Guys are placing judges is what

1:16:22

they're known. As and they

1:16:24

still exist. And thoroughbred

1:16:27

racing ah for our for

1:16:29

other purposes generally. But.

1:16:31

If in the of read that

1:16:33

the photo finish camera malfunctions in

1:16:35

some way. Man. It's

1:16:37

the placing judges that will determines

1:16:40

between the three of them. Are

1:16:42

was the correct order of finish

1:16:44

was wow that's cool. Fast eyes.

1:16:46

Ah okay so. Let's. Talk about

1:16:48

the Preakness as he said, bet against. Mystic.

1:16:51

Dan who's the bet on and

1:16:53

I had a question about one

1:16:55

of the horses are uncle heavy

1:16:57

because Iran or tease. Got.

1:17:00

On ammonites like I'm kind to in the brain

1:17:02

when horse like wise I ride. Getting on a

1:17:04

twenty to one horse is are some to be

1:17:06

said. They're so so break it down for us.

1:17:09

Eyes. But I'm so we've established steadily

1:17:11

I fainted. Missing man is going to

1:17:13

be over bad. and so therefore Indians.

1:17:16

for all the other reasons. that easy

1:17:18

bet against success is very evenly matched.

1:17:21

Between. Mystic Dan.

1:17:23

Ah, imagination. who's the other Bob Baffert

1:17:25

remaining horse or moose got sick and

1:17:27

he would have been a favorite and

1:17:30

race and bad So he's not going

1:17:32

around a Baffert so as imagination will

1:17:34

probably set case. Catching Freedom rams

1:17:36

forth in the Kentucky Derby bit. He

1:17:38

also had a real trip. He

1:17:40

also had a very good inside trip. To

1:17:42

me though the bet in the Preakness is

1:17:45

a horse called Tuscan Gold trained by Chad

1:17:47

Browns. Stay right now believe is a to

1:17:49

one of the program line. I think that's

1:17:51

a little too generous. Another is going to

1:17:53

be a to one. But. He ran

1:17:56

a really good third and the Louisiana Derby.

1:17:58

And. There's kind of a. Pattern here with

1:18:01

trainer Chad Brown Rice. He

1:18:03

had Sierra Leone. he had domestic

1:18:06

product in the Kentucky Derby. Chad

1:18:08

has has hit upon a little

1:18:10

system now over the last decade

1:18:12

or so where he takes sources

1:18:15

that skips the Kentucky Derby and

1:18:17

he points instead for the Preakness.

1:18:19

Cloud computing. Follow. That

1:18:21

Formula One. The Preakness. Early voting. Follow

1:18:23

that Formula One The Preakness Last year

1:18:26

Blazing Sevens and looked like he was

1:18:28

no way he was good enough for

1:18:30

when the Preakness finished. A really good,

1:18:32

really strong second. Barely.

1:18:34

Beaten by national treasure. So

1:18:36

now Chad as as the source Tuscan

1:18:39

Gold and was third in the Louisiana

1:18:41

Derby and immediately after that race he

1:18:43

said this is my Preakness Force. This

1:18:46

is the horse I'm pointing toward for this year's

1:18:48

Preakness. And on numbers he's just

1:18:50

as good. As mystic

1:18:52

Dad and my opinion is just as good

1:18:54

is getting freedom and imagination and he should

1:18:56

be higher price so I think that to

1:18:58

me that's the bad guy and would I

1:19:01

would have us would run uncle have you

1:19:03

know. I. Read on. that was a

1:19:05

heavy as he deserves to be about twenty

1:19:07

in a current right? I mean, I read

1:19:09

or teases on him because it's really the

1:19:11

only option to add okay to ride and

1:19:13

greatness in. If you get a chance your

1:19:15

you know it's a horse race or know

1:19:17

anything can happen I read all arguably. Is.

1:19:19

Definitely one of the best to agree. Jockey

1:19:21

on America so need wanna take shots? he

1:19:23

probably doesn't get much chance to landed at

1:19:25

least isn't there Oh Kanye out of the

1:19:27

like. we asked his every time. but what's

1:19:30

a long shot that we could have ah

1:19:32

finishing second or third if we want to

1:19:34

get spicy with it with a trifecta or

1:19:36

something. Just steal. I.

1:19:39

Think would probably be the spicy as

1:19:41

long shot in there and like he.

1:19:43

He. Went terribly and the Kentucky Derby.

1:19:45

but. Leaving. The starting gate he

1:19:48

got bounced around a lot of the start. His.

1:19:50

Young jockey, cheap ass miss and

1:19:52

op's stepped on the gas. Coming.

1:19:55

Down the stretch the first signs. And.

1:19:57

The horse rush stop. And

1:19:59

was involved. In a a fairly swift

1:20:01

early taste and man completely bagged

1:20:03

out. Wayne Lucas, the trainer, didn't

1:20:06

like to ride. Are changing

1:20:08

jockeys to do El Rosario! Ah,

1:20:10

You'll get a little bit more but patient ride

1:20:13

in if he runs the same way he did.

1:20:15

It is race before that which was second to

1:20:17

move than the Arkansas Derby. Then. He

1:20:19

would have a chance to hit the board

1:20:21

at a pretty good for us. Okay, ah

1:20:24

and now odd Black Eyed Susan on Friday

1:20:26

which everyone should watch Renew beyond the call

1:20:28

This is I mean you nailed the Oaks.

1:20:30

Yeah, maybe we should have started with that,

1:20:33

gave us some bullets. Absolutely Derby, You absolutely

1:20:35

nailed the oaks you also did. Tells Mystic

1:20:37

Dan Arms you are you want all the

1:20:39

dub Ya money? No pressure. Put.

1:20:41

On Black Eyed Peas in a maybe any other

1:20:43

horse races that you like ah that you been

1:20:46

circling. I'd like

1:20:48

I'd susan I like a Philly

1:20:50

named Gun song. Ah,

1:20:52

She's not one of the top two favorites are,

1:20:54

so there is a little bit of a question

1:20:57

about a mile and and eight distance with her

1:20:59

I and a little bit of a question in

1:21:01

the Traitor Marquette it does have a smile and

1:21:03

and eight for her. Spot. If

1:21:06

she runs one of her best races ah

1:21:08

she's the best or some of the or.

1:21:11

Can not be She's she. could be.

1:21:13

For. The one nine to two so that's

1:21:16

not a bad return. Ah, honest, really like

1:21:18

gun song and then ah that's brought

1:21:20

a obviously in the bike. I'd susan

1:21:22

a man on my on the second I

1:21:24

dropped my papers. Men on Saturday. Area.

1:21:27

I mean in the eleventh race it's a

1:21:30

race call the Jim Mckay Turf Sprouts, Primates

1:21:32

of A Mile on the Grass. Ah, there

1:21:34

is a horse the number eight worse in

1:21:36

the race and he called Boats or Rock

1:21:39

and. Okay, and a

1:21:41

right now he's six the ones on the

1:21:43

program line. I don't expect to get six

1:21:45

to one. Again, maybe nine to two for

1:21:47

the ones. Are but to me.

1:21:50

Ah, on paper, he looks like the best

1:21:52

worse in the race. And if it rains

1:21:54

like it's supposed to rain, During.

1:21:56

The day saturday morning and know

1:21:58

in that some. The afternoon he's

1:22:00

proven that he can handle that are forced

1:22:03

to has a little bit of them were

1:22:05

similar scenario where if it rains is that

1:22:07

not. That's. A in favor

1:22:09

Miss again right? Because this is the A

1:22:11

would be an interview Money track your you're

1:22:13

right but get it it would be a

1:22:16

little bit of a have an advantage. Domestic

1:22:18

Dan just because he has proven. That.

1:22:21

He can handle it, but I

1:22:23

still. I still would or would

1:22:25

be betting against. yeah it would be if

1:22:27

miss again some how does pull this off

1:22:29

than we get a couple weeks of everyone

1:22:31

saying this is an asterisk because the developments

1:22:33

going to be a shorter just a death

1:22:36

wish. I don't have as good or bad

1:22:38

for horseracing I don't I don't know, I

1:22:40

don't Etti Triple Crown obviously a triple crown

1:22:42

bit as good force racing but I it

1:22:44

will be interesting if it happens. Go

1:22:47

And it's a legitimate asterisk: an Id, and

1:22:49

ah, they didn't have to do it. Yeah.

1:22:52

They're running officer during the Belmont Stakes

1:22:54

Monsieur Saratoga. Ah,

1:22:56

The Belmont Park Oval is largest in

1:22:58

America. Largest dirt oval in America. It's

1:23:01

a mile and a half, a mile

1:23:03

and a half or rounds. So.

1:23:05

It's very easy to run the Belmont Stakes of

1:23:07

the mile and a half distance and Saratoga. The.

1:23:10

Oh was only a mile and and eight

1:23:12

rounds. So. If they ran the

1:23:14

Belmont and a mile and a half at

1:23:16

Saratoga, They would have to start

1:23:19

at. Midway. Around the stretch

1:23:21

turn they would have to start the race

1:23:23

on a term. Which. Is not

1:23:25

ideal. And. That's the reason why instead

1:23:27

they're starting the race of the proper the stretch

1:23:30

in are making and a mile and quarter but.

1:23:32

When. Belmont Park was last under

1:23:35

reconstruction and the nineteen sixties.

1:23:38

The. Belmont Stakes was run at Aqueduct.

1:23:41

Which. Likes: Saratoga Ginseng circumference, smile

1:23:43

and and eight. They started

1:23:45

the Belmont Stakes on the turn in those

1:23:48

years to keep it at a mile and

1:23:50

a half distance. And there were

1:23:52

no problems. So.

1:23:54

Look I think. Belmont.

1:23:57

park new york racing association use

1:24:00

has been using the excuse of

1:24:02

tradition as a reason not

1:24:04

to change the spacing of the

1:24:06

triple crown races which is causing problems

1:24:09

for the continuity of the series. And now

1:24:11

here they are completely turning tradition upside down

1:24:13

and running the Belmont stakes at a mile

1:24:15

and a quarter instead of a mile and

1:24:18

a half when they don't have to. Yeah.

1:24:20

It's interesting and I think it's wrong. At a different

1:24:22

track, it's not the same. It's a different race. They're

1:24:25

just putting the branding for the Belmont on it. Right.

1:24:28

It's not the Belmont stakes but it is at

1:24:30

a different track by necessity. The distance to me

1:24:33

is the big problem there and I think

1:24:35

it deserves to have an asterisk. Yeah. All

1:24:38

right. Randy, this is why we like you. You tell it like

1:24:40

it is. Yeah. No sugarcoat it.

1:24:42

Give us the honest truth. America's horse analyst.

1:24:44

Yeah. Okay. Last

1:24:47

question for you, Randy. It's a row back question. r-h-o-b-a-c-k.com

1:24:49

promo code TAKE. 20% off your

1:24:51

first purchase. Q-SYS. Volos. Hoodies.

1:24:54

Joggers. Shorts. I

1:24:57

need to have you on in football season this year because

1:24:59

you obviously covered the NFL as well. It's

1:25:01

a mistake by us. It's too long to go

1:25:03

a whole year without Randy Moss. So we will

1:25:05

make sure that we do that this year. My

1:25:08

last question though is can we see Mystic Dan's

1:25:10

ass again? Let's

1:25:12

try. Let's see what we got here. Now you might

1:25:14

get some birds chirping. That's okay. I'd bring the bird

1:25:16

back. I would like to see this guy's ass again.

1:25:18

I could probably do better than showing you Mystic Dan's

1:25:20

ass although he's in the back of the stall right

1:25:22

now. Let me see here. Let me

1:25:24

get under here. I'm going to turn this iPad around

1:25:26

so you can get a nice shot of him. You're

1:25:28

walking around with an iPad? Yeah,

1:25:31

yeah. We lost his phone. Yeah, that's

1:25:33

true. There's the saddle pal, right? See that? Good.

1:25:36

Oh, there he is. Yeah. There

1:25:38

he sees his ass right there. Oh, yeah. There's his

1:25:40

ass. Only one ass this time, yeah. We had

1:25:43

Mystic Dan's ass on. There we go. All right. Well,

1:25:45

go get him, Mystic Dan. Congratulations, Mystic Dan. I hope

1:25:48

it rains for you. I

1:25:50

feel like somebody planted that bird right outside his

1:25:53

area there so he's not going to get a good

1:25:55

night's sleep. It's like pulling a fire alarm the

1:25:57

night before a playoff game. Yeah. Yeah.

1:26:00

out and brought those birds in and put them right outside

1:26:02

of Mr. Cagran's stall. Yeah. All

1:26:04

1:26:06

1:28:07

Pat Conaton. And now for something completely

1:28:09

different. Okay

1:28:12

we now welcome on a very special guest,

1:28:14

recurring guest, it is NBA champion

1:28:17

Pat Conaton. Does that

1:28:19

ever get old by the way? Saying NBA because you

1:28:21

have to be introduced as NBA champion. I know we

1:28:23

had you on last time was right after you won.

1:28:26

So it's been a couple years, does it get old? No,

1:28:29

I mean a couple of years comment gets old. But

1:28:31

the NBA champion title never gets old. Yeah you guys

1:28:34

haven't been out of the first round. Yeah

1:28:36

well we get to the second round after. Yeah

1:28:38

that's right. The last two years we haven't gotten

1:28:40

out of the first but we're planning on fixing

1:28:42

that sooner rather than later. Yeah speaking of the

1:28:44

championship I think it's probably a good place to

1:28:46

start because I just saw a very funny interview

1:28:48

with Jeff Teague. And he

1:28:50

was talking about the aftermath of winning the championship

1:28:53

and how he was like let's fucking go, let's

1:28:55

party, let's go to Vegas, gas up the jet.

1:28:58

And then Giannis was like I think I'm just going to

1:29:00

go home to my family. And then everybody else was like

1:29:03

I guess we're just going to go home too. And that was

1:29:05

kind of the end of the party. He was going to pay

1:29:07

for it? You can't go to

1:29:09

Vegas as the Bucks winning a ring and everyone's just

1:29:11

going to be like where's Giannis? Yeah,

1:29:13

everyone wants to know where Giannis is a lot of the time.

1:29:16

But I mean Jeff I think

1:29:19

he lived it up. We did get to go to Greece.

1:29:21

So we did go to Greece with Giannis at the end

1:29:23

of the summer. I think that was interesting about that year

1:29:25

was the championship was like July 21st. The

1:29:29

next season was starting on time. So I think

1:29:31

part of the reason it wasn't as climactic

1:29:34

as Jeff wanted it to be was we only had

1:29:36

like six weeks before we were back in the swing

1:29:38

of things. So guys wanted to spend some time with

1:29:40

their family and then we went over to Greece and

1:29:42

celebrated a little bit over there as a team. So

1:29:44

you win the championship and then you party for what

1:29:46

like 24 hours? 12 hours? And

1:29:49

then you're like okay that's got to get my shot. Yeah

1:29:51

well the parade wasn't for like 36 hours. So

1:29:53

I would say we at least got a solid 36 hours. That's

1:29:56

good. And we should have we should

1:29:58

have mentioned you. of the new dad

1:30:00

glow, congratulations, 10 days

1:30:02

old at the time of this taping.

1:30:06

Are you scared? Are you ready? Yeah,

1:30:08

no, I'm good. You have a moment already where the kid

1:30:10

comes home and you're like, wait, no one gave me a

1:30:12

manual for this? Yeah, I did. That's a scary moment. Yeah,

1:30:15

that's the scariest part. The drive home. Yeah. I'd

1:30:17

say the drive home is a scary part, but I'm

1:30:19

excited and I think it's one of those

1:30:21

things. The shock to me over

1:30:24

the last 10 days has been when

1:30:26

you wake up in the morning and you're like, oh,

1:30:28

he's still here. I

1:30:30

have a bunch of little cousins and stuff, so I've been around

1:30:32

babies my whole life. Have a lot

1:30:34

of fun with it, but I always give them back.

1:30:38

Now he's not going anywhere, which has been,

1:30:41

that's surreal experience and that

1:30:43

realization. And he's been a

1:30:45

blessing and it's been something that Ryan and

1:30:47

myself, we've enjoyed and she's done a great

1:30:50

job. So it's got to

1:30:52

be, it's a little different than me having kids where

1:30:54

I'm like, I hope these kids are, I hope they're

1:30:56

smart because they're not gonna be good

1:30:58

athletes. Your fiance is

1:31:00

a professional athlete as well. So are you like, he's

1:31:03

gonna be so sick in every sport? Yeah, well, I

1:31:05

mean, when he was literally born, I put a

1:31:08

toy basketball, a toy baseball, a toy

1:31:10

soccer ball, a football in his little

1:31:12

bassinet thing. And she looks

1:31:14

at me and she goes, oh, no pressure on the kid,

1:31:16

huh? And I said, no, no, no, I'm telling him he

1:31:18

can choose whatever sport he wants. Yeah. Golf,

1:31:20

you know, we can throw a golf club in there. Yeah, whatever

1:31:22

he wants to be, as long as it's a professional athlete. Probably

1:31:25

will be, yeah. No pressure though.

1:31:27

Yeah, exactly. I think, you know, it's

1:31:29

been, someone had a great comment

1:31:32

for it yesterday, it'll come to me, but

1:31:34

it was basically like, you know, we collected

1:31:36

our genes and we just said, here, let's

1:31:38

create this baby that has a chance to

1:31:40

continue the things that we've done in our

1:31:42

lives. You need to get Notre Dame to

1:31:44

offer a scholarship right now. Yeah. Always

1:31:47

the school being like, we're ready to offer

1:31:49

this 10 day old. Yeah, I will say

1:31:51

he's already gotten a Wisconsin scholarship. He has.

1:31:53

Yeah, you know, one of the- Let's go,

1:31:55

we're bad at in-state recruiting right now. Yeah.

1:31:57

Yeah, I know one of the Wisconsin, you

1:31:59

know, mentors. of mine has already said he

1:32:01

has a full ride he will be our starting

1:32:03

quarterback in 2044. Okay

1:32:06

perfect. Yeah. Order back. I

1:32:09

mean let's keep him away from Marquette in terms of basketball. Yes. I

1:32:11

mean look. I'll get him an

1:32:13

NIL deal. You want to sign him up right now? Yeah.

1:32:16

I mean has there- Did he drink coffee? Not

1:32:19

yet. Not yet. He drinks a

1:32:21

lot of milk. Yeah. All right we'll get him out to deal with

1:32:23

the milk. Got milk still around? Yeah.

1:32:26

Yeah. We'll do that. You're having

1:32:28

a newborn you're doing a lot of Googling. Yeah. Is

1:32:31

this normal? What do I

1:32:33

do when this happens? Like Google is

1:32:35

helping you raise your child. Yeah. He's gotten hiccups a

1:32:37

lot. Yeah. Google tells you like the

1:32:39

hiccups are a good thing and I refuse to believe they're a good thing

1:32:41

because he doesn't look comfortable every time he gets the hiccups

1:32:44

right after he eats. Yeah. Here's

1:32:46

a tip that I learned about when my son was

1:32:48

like around the same age 10 days whatever two weeks.

1:32:51

Don't drain the baby. In

1:32:53

what way? He started I was feeding him once

1:32:55

when he was like two weeks old and he started puking

1:32:57

and I held him upside down and I was like what

1:32:59

are you doing? I was like I don't know. Yeah.

1:33:02

I didn't want him to like choke on it. Right. And

1:33:05

she's like that's not what you do. Hold him over the sink and

1:33:07

just shake him a little bit. There's like

1:33:09

a nanny camera of me like literally holding him

1:33:11

upside down being like oh shit. Yeah. Trying

1:33:13

to drain the baby. I have he has started

1:33:16

to you know get the hiccups and spit up

1:33:18

right after he feeds and I've

1:33:20

done like the football hold with his

1:33:22

head facing the ground. Yeah. Like

1:33:24

just get it out of you real quick. And I've gotten yelled

1:33:27

at for it too. I know

1:33:29

you hold it straight up and you have him burp into the

1:33:31

burp clock. Right. I'm like well yeah that makes

1:33:33

sense now. Yeah. You say it out loud

1:33:35

but at the time I wasn't thinking. Our instincts are to treat it

1:33:37

like your buddy in college who's

1:33:39

had two mates keeling off. Throw him over a chair.

1:33:41

Yeah. Yeah. Oh hold

1:33:43

your hair bro. Yeah. Exactly.

1:33:46

Exactly. But we do have

1:33:48

him we do have him in some legends onesies. Oh nice.

1:33:50

Nice. Nice. Stylish

1:33:53

baby. Yeah. What? Yeah

1:33:56

legends onesies. Yeah. He's spit up on

1:33:58

a few of them but he's already been in a he's been in a few. He likes to

1:34:00

get, he seems to sleep better in those onesies. So

1:34:03

the Scotty Shevler question, if you were playing in the NBA

1:34:05

Finals and your baby was due, would you miss a game?

1:34:07

Yeah, what was your plan? Hypothetical. Well, I will say, You

1:34:09

guys did lose in the first round though. Yeah, thanks, I

1:34:11

appreciate that. Are you a Bucks fan? No, I hate the

1:34:13

Bucks. Oh, all right. I have a very mean joke that

1:34:15

I'm not gonna say. I just wanna say for the record

1:34:17

that I'm not saying. I was gonna- Pretend I was playing

1:34:19

in the playoffs. I was gonna say when you knew that

1:34:21

you were gonna have a baby around the

1:34:23

NBA playoffs and you hired Doc Rivers, we were

1:34:25

like, yes. Yeah. That was

1:34:28

a good joke, I didn't say it. He didn't

1:34:30

say it. He didn't say it. Yeah, well, I

1:34:32

love Doc, so I'm a Doc guy, but I

1:34:34

was also any coach

1:34:36

guy. Anyone that's coaching me, I've been pretty good

1:34:38

with. Yeah, but would you have left the game

1:34:40

in the NBA Finals for- Well, it would have

1:34:43

been easier for me because there's seven of them.

1:34:46

There's seven games, like Scotty Shevler, there's only

1:34:48

one Sunday at the Masters, you know what

1:34:50

I mean? Yeah. So yeah, I probably, I've

1:34:52

been told I can't miss the birth of

1:34:54

my first child. Yeah, that's, by the way,

1:34:56

that's a very smart answer. It's

1:34:58

a hypothetical, so it's not happening. So yes, I

1:35:00

definitely would have left. Yeah, well, it's not happening,

1:35:02

at least with this child. Yeah. Hopefully

1:35:05

it'll happen in the future, then it would mean we were out of

1:35:07

the first round. Yeah, that's true. You can, I kinda wish

1:35:09

I'd missed the birth of my first child because I was

1:35:12

sitting in the hospital all day and I just started betting

1:35:14

WNBA games and I went like 0 for 4. So

1:35:16

he actually cost me money the day he was born. Still

1:35:19

costing you money, didn't he? Yeah, right. But he cost you

1:35:21

money before he was actually in her. Yeah, before he was

1:35:23

actually on earth, he cost me money. All

1:35:26

right, so obviously the season didn't go as

1:35:28

planned. Yeah. How was this

1:35:30

year for you? Because this was, I feel like the

1:35:32

first year where you were heavy in the trade rumors.

1:35:35

Was it weird having to deal with that, being like,

1:35:37

I don't know what's gonna happen, like the

1:35:39

deadline comes and people are like, my name's

1:35:41

getting floated around. Like, how much does that

1:35:44

affect playing on the court? You

1:35:46

know, it didn't really affect it for me. You know,

1:35:49

I think for me, I kinda understand how the

1:35:51

business works. I understand, you

1:35:53

know, from a GM's point of view, we

1:35:55

only have so many guys that are tradable, right?

1:35:58

Whether it's contract based. or tradable guys

1:36:00

in general. And

1:36:03

I think, you know, as a GM, he's trying to

1:36:05

make the team better for a playoff push. He's only

1:36:07

got so many pieces to the puzzle that he can

1:36:09

move. And so being a part of those are kind

1:36:11

of inevitable. And I kind of knew that when I

1:36:14

signed this extension. Like once you get to a certain

1:36:16

contract range, I think

1:36:18

you become a potential tradable asset,

1:36:21

depending how you're playing, depending how the team's doing,

1:36:23

et cetera. And I know losing

1:36:26

in the first round last year to the Heat was

1:36:28

going to spark some trade rumors, regardless of

1:36:30

what kind of happened and transpired this

1:36:33

year. But being like

1:36:36

a positive guy, an optimist, I try to look at it the

1:36:38

other way. It means a lot of teams want me. Sure. Other

1:36:40

teams want me to play for them. That's a good point. And

1:36:43

the running joke that I make now is, you

1:36:46

know, you talk about Coach Pop. He's got a tree

1:36:48

of coaches. You know, Coach Bud's got a tree of

1:36:50

coaches now. Pat's got a

1:36:52

network of coaches. Now that all the guys that

1:36:54

are getting head jobs, Charles Lee, congratulations to him.

1:36:56

He was an assistant with us. Bud's

1:36:59

back on the table. Taylor Jenkins was an assistant

1:37:01

with us. We got a bunch of assistant coaches

1:37:03

that have moved on to be head assistants in

1:37:05

different places. So I'm hoping

1:37:07

to have a job in the NBA. Yeah, that's

1:37:09

actually a really good spin zone where it's like

1:37:11

all these guys who saw you win a title,

1:37:14

like in, you know, five years, you can be

1:37:16

like, remember Pat? He's a good piece. Yeah, we

1:37:18

can definitely work with him. Yeah, he's a great

1:37:20

locker room guy. Yeah. Great at, you

1:37:22

know, making sure the culture of our team continues to rise

1:37:24

and some of these young guys were trying to build around.

1:37:26

You know, I can spin it with the best of them.

1:37:28

Yeah, no, I think that's actually a realistic way to look

1:37:31

at the NBA. Yeah. A lot of

1:37:33

people, they, obviously you want to be secure in your job.

1:37:35

You want to like lay down roots and you want to

1:37:37

just be one place for as long as possible. But the

1:37:39

reality is in sports, chances are you're

1:37:41

probably going to have to move teams at some

1:37:43

point. So the earlier you start to understand that
