betting activities. Hit the QR code that

2:10

you see here on the screen or

2:12

follow the link you see in the

2:15

description below. For the second time in

2:17

reaction podcast history here on the program,

2:19

we have gone live while the game

2:22

is still active. The last time this

2:24

happened was when the Raptors were down

2:26

30. in Phoenix. I believe they actually

2:28

got down maybe 40 in that game

2:30

against Phoenix where they got killed

2:33

by their whole bench basically, which

2:35

is kind of nuts. Similar scenario

2:37

happening right now, actively between the

2:39

Toronto Raptors and the Dallas Mavericks.

2:41

AJ Lawson is bringing the ball

2:43

up past half court. It is

2:45

108 to 81 for the Dallas Mavericks

2:48

and the Toronto Raptors who have

2:50

only eight players sued up tonight.

2:52

are basically screaming out 123 Cancun

2:54

at the end of every huddle

2:56

and that's why we are going

2:58

live. We'll update the score obviously as

3:00

it happens here. No we won't! I

3:02

think he would get a quadruple double

3:04

and let you like not a lot

3:06

of people. Play is the worst man.

3:08

I apologize to everybody who's listening next

3:10

day man. Ain't nobody care that's 10881

3:12

man. How did you not lead with

3:14

the fact that ADs three blocks away

3:16

from a quadruple double man? Yeah, I

3:18

mean that would have been the fakest

3:20

quadruple double I've ever seen man. I

3:22

feel like he would get a quadruple

3:24

double double and let you like not

3:26

a lot of people would care. No,

3:29

there's no buzz. There's no buzz.

3:31

Yeah, this would be the first

3:33

time since like David

3:35

Robinson in 94. Like I think

3:38

we did this as a

3:40

trivia like a couple weeks

3:42

ago. There's only been like

3:44

four of these. No, David's

3:46

safe right out, man. David

3:49

is safe. AD has hit

3:51

the bench. Daniel Gafford, it's

3:53

at the foul line. It's staring

3:55

into the box squad. I don't know

3:57

what he's looking for in there. Oh man.

4:00

Yeah, so did you see it's

4:02

a fan appreciation night in Dallas

4:04

tonight? What do you think they

4:07

handed out? Sorry Mab's fans in

4:09

Slovenia? Probably handed out tissues man.

4:11

Yeah, it's so funny man. Yeah,

4:13

we should do a fan appreciation

4:15

on our last react part on

4:17

Sunday, man. Okay. What does that

4:19

look like for us, man? Just

4:21

give out hats and stuff. Oh,

4:23

you want to hand out some

4:25

hats? Yeah, let's hand out some

4:27

hats, man. Let's hand out some

4:29

merch, man, if you're cool with

4:31

that, you know. Yeah. You control

4:33

the merge, basically. Yeah, but it's,

4:35

you know, it's your money, too.

4:37

No, well, yeah, let's, let's, let's

4:39

toss out some merch. What else

4:42

can we give away? Can we

4:44

give away the Showhaeotani? So we want

4:46

to start the show? Can we get

4:48

some tatoms? Like, you have any, you

4:50

have any sneakers, like, you know, sitting

4:52

around? People would love a pair

4:54

of game-worn sneakers. I do have this

4:56

tatem doll. Okay. Oh, yeah, that's right.

4:58

This is from Carl, I think, from

5:00

Carl. Yeah. Yeah, I'll happily give this

5:03

away. Yeah, give away something that, like,

5:05

you own. So, like, people- Let us

5:07

know. Will be really happy. Give it

5:09

away, man. I'll give away one

5:11

of my criterion blue rays back

5:13

here. Yeah 100% base dirt, you

5:15

know. Oh, yeah. This is the

5:17

Blue Jays dirt. Just giving you

5:19

things off my desk, actually. Remember

5:21

when the Jays came second to

5:23

show you Otani? Oh, man. That was

5:25

a big second, man. Oh, big three

5:28

for the ballast. It's 1112 to 86.

5:30

Yeah. My favorite thing about this game

5:32

was Darko. Just stopped calling. Even Darko's

5:34

like one two three can't cooed we're

5:36

doing let's do like hey, let's kill

5:39

like 10 minutes and then do the

5:41

six You're a tough one just hit

5:43

the side of the backboard. No way.

5:45

Hey, I'm sure I'm sure you talked

5:47

about this the other night, but No,

5:50

I'm in not ungued got it anymore.

5:52

I'm not gonna lie to you man

5:54

the way unks are shooting the three ball

5:56

in this game like I could tell he

5:58

doesn't have his legs man because if you go

6:00

to practice these days, the rap is

6:03

really like, the rap has been playing a

6:05

lot of one-on-one against each other. And I'm

6:07

pleasantly surprised with how good Garrett

6:09

Temple is, like just based on

6:11

watching those one-on-one. But then I'll

6:13

watch the NBA game and like, onk

6:15

is hitting every part of the backboard.

6:17

Yeah, yeah, like they're not close, man. And

6:19

honestly, Garrett, bro, I don't care where you

6:22

shoot on the three-point line. I just want

6:24

you back for leadership purposes, man. But onks

6:26

said he's coming back, right? Like, onks said

6:28

he got one more in them, right? Onks

6:31

said he literally gave the Vince Carter meme.

6:33

I got one more in me. Yeah. Shouts to

6:35

his good friend, Vince Carter. Scottie goes

6:38

to the cup and gets stripped. Oh

6:40

no, it looks like his hand got

6:42

hurt. Guys, come on man. Please just

6:44

bench these guys and let Chris Bouchay

6:47

play one time in his life. Please

6:49

stop the play-by-play. Yeah, we got comment

6:51

here. Wasn't there a Trey Young doll?

6:53

Yeah, so yeah, we can give this. We

6:55

can give this. Oh, okay. Wait, show

6:58

that doll again? We'll see though. Yeah,

7:00

yeah, I don't know. I want to

7:02

keep this one. I want to keep

7:04

this one. I want to keep this

7:06

one. Oh, come on, man. No, there's

7:08

a lot, there's a lot I would

7:11

give away, but, you know, maybe I

7:13

will give away the doll. God, I'm

7:15

crashing out. Okay. Well, what was I

7:17

going to say? Oh, yeah, I'm sure you

7:20

talked about this the other

7:22

night, but I'm sure that

7:24

they, they're doing Chris Boucher

7:26

like this. Oh, we started

7:28

with Chris Boucher? All right,

7:30

what you got for me?

7:32

Like, what does that even mean?

7:35

No, I'm sorry, man. Can we speak in

7:37

common sense sometimes? I don't understand how on

7:39

one hand, the message from Darko before was

7:41

Chris is the ultimate professional. He's always like

7:43

to play and perform. And then it's like,

7:46

no, it's not fair to play him after

7:48

it's the time off. It's like, those messages

7:50

are inconsistent, man. No, like, and then you

7:52

guys are doing this whole environment of like

7:55

handing out the chain and like having great

7:57

chemistry and stuff. Why are you doing great

7:59

chemistry? 10 year raptor like these games

8:01

don't matter anyways like Chris this

8:04

might be Chris's last last season

8:06

last home game on Wednesday like

8:08

I actually I actually don't get

8:10

it well I mean very disrespectful

8:12

I've certainly I've certainly heard this

8:14

comment many many times I'm sorry

8:17

I'm just watching with great interest

8:19

as Dwight Powell roll so the

8:21

cup short roll swing kick out

8:23

who is that Brandon Williams oh

8:25

for three bang Yo, Jerome, when you

8:28

upload this, take out his audio

8:30

track from the first eight minutes.

8:32

I feel like a pawn would

8:34

be good of just me talking.

8:37

It's just you saying five words.

8:39

Yeah, Chris Beauché outrage,

8:41

man. I look, listen, man, you know,

8:43

I'm very partial to Chris. I think

8:45

that, you know, he's a guy who...

8:48

Has always played very very hard for the Toronto

8:50

Raptors and has never necessarily been Prioritized as

8:52

a member of the team and I think

8:54

that You know the Raptors make it pretty

8:56

clear whether or not you're in their plans

8:58

or not You know what I mean? Like

9:00

they're they're quick to move off of you

9:02

You know I mean they're quick to make

9:04

you sure to pass out pretty terribly on

9:06

the road That's what I'm saying, like even

9:08

Pascal is like, yo, like that guy won

9:10

a championship as your number two score of

9:12

the championship. I couldn't believe last year at

9:14

Media Day, like Darko is the rookie coach

9:16

was telling Pascal basically he needed to fit into

9:18

his offense. He was saying like, yo, you know, like what are

9:20

we doing? Messiah accidentally calling him selfish basically, which let off another

9:22

mailstorm. Let alone like the contract being pulled on and off the

9:24

table when the contract offers came. But it was the same thing

9:26

with like Gary Trent for example, you know, it was like, you

9:28

know, Norm, for example, Norm was a big piece of the team

9:30

and then they're like, okay, we're trading North for Gary, then Gary,

9:32

we're going to become a big piece of the team and then

9:34

they're like, okay, we're trading North for Gary, then Gary, we're going

9:36

to become a big piece of the big piece of Gary, then

9:38

Gary, being kind of big piece of big piece, and then Gary,

9:40

being kind of big piece of big piece of big piece of

9:43

big piece, and then, and then, being kind of big piece of

9:45

big piece of big piece of big piece of, and then, big

9:47

piece of big piece of, and then, big piece of, big piece of, big

9:49

piece of, big piece of, big piece of, big piece of, and then, big piece of,

9:51

big piece of, big piece of, big piece, about the way that

9:53

Pascal left or you know the way that

9:55

Norm left or the way that Fred left

9:57

you know all these it's like you know that

9:59

the Sentimentality is for fans, like for

10:02

the organization themselves, they move, they

10:04

move pretty cutthro, bro, like, I

10:06

mean, besides biggest move, and it's

10:08

the greatest move, and we all

10:10

celebrated, because it worked out, but

10:12

like, bro, he even caught off

10:14

DeMarto Rosen, the guy was coming out

10:16

of a movie, and he's like, all

10:18

right, I'm out of Taco Stand, and

10:20

then bang, I get traded, he came

10:22

out of the Minecraft movie. What do

10:24

you think DeMar was watching, man? I

10:26

feel like DeMarce was watching like the

10:28

equalizer or something. I think he actually

10:31

did talk about this. We could actually

10:33

research this, but this would require me

10:35

to look it up. So, yeah, no,

10:37

I don't know, man. I'm not buying

10:39

your explanation, man. It's bullshit. Like, just

10:41

bring Chris in for the game. Like,

10:43

why is it? No, but why is it

10:45

such a hard stance to not? Just play

10:48

Chris in his last home

10:50

game, but you're gonna slice

10:52

up a tribute video if

10:54

he comes back next year I

10:57

mean I I certainly don't quite understand why

10:59

they've done this. And I'm not trying to

11:01

make it like listen like we know Chris

11:03

like we respect Chris it's not like Chris was

11:05

like not on the Pascal level or whatever but

11:07

it's the disrespect is still the same. Well regardless

11:09

of your role on the team. The part I

11:12

love about sports is like the connections that you

11:14

actually form with it right like the appreciation of

11:16

how well this war is played. There's certainly a

11:18

big factor or like the entertainment or like you

11:20

know the drama and the storylines but realistically like

11:23

I'm just really appreciative of people who people who

11:25

put in people who put in. worth

11:27

of time in any sort of organization.

11:29

And you know, it's a, you know,

11:32

you always eventually reach the point where,

11:34

you know, you're like the White Powell

11:36

and the Mabs, you know, you just

11:38

stick around because you're there and, you

11:41

know, you're largely a 15th man kind

11:43

of thing. Do I, Powell, Outlasting, Luca,

11:45

and Dallas. By the way, I'm watching

11:47

the White Powell, Barbara. Anyway,

11:49

but like, You know like this this this happens

11:52

is part of the natural life cycle as

11:54

a basketball player But at the same time

11:56

like I don't like seeing people discarded. You

11:58

know I mean I just not forgot about

12:00

like how small of a gesture would it be

12:02

to just allow him to play one game like

12:04

I mean like just one game and like this

12:06

guy's played more games for the Raptors

12:08

than Vince Carter has in the same

12:10

number of seasons like that's a crazy

12:12

legacy for a guy who came in undrafted

12:14

you know on a two-way contract and like

12:16

scrapped his way into becoming you know

12:19

like a long-term piece he signed three

12:21

different contracts of the Raptors man like

12:23

give him one game Yeah, no, I'm actually...

12:25

You know, we playing Garrett Temple these

12:27

days, man. Like, give him one game.

12:29

I'm really upset about it. But, anyway,

12:31

so I guess I'll move on. Life's so

12:33

short to be angry. That's just, that's what

12:35

the Raptors want you to do. They want

12:38

you to move on. They want you to

12:40

focus on the Congoline. They want you to

12:42

focus on the young players. That's it, man.

12:44

Sorry, they just showed the, they just showed

12:47

a highlight reel of the Congo line as

12:49

the Raptors lose officially. I sort of got,

12:51

that's gonna be like a first round, that's

12:53

gonna be a first round pick if we're

12:56

really drafting favorite moments. Like, like, I'm gonna

12:58

be like, yo, with the first pick, I'm

13:00

thinking, Kayla, Matt Devlin, and Jack

13:02

Armstrong, pre-game Tik dances. What are

13:04

we doing this season? Show us

13:06

to the crew to the Norm

13:08

Powell interview with number one, man.

13:11

All right, so some Raptors news

13:13

and notes men, AJ Lawson got

13:15

converted to a standard contract today.

13:17

Hey, so it's AJ Lawson, man.

13:20

No, I'm happy for him. I

13:22

feel like, you know, since the

13:24

Raptors pivoted hard towards the tank,

13:26

he might lead the team in

13:28

minutes play. No, but no, I

13:31

think that, you know, he's, he's

13:33

obviously... You had a chance in Dallas,

13:35

right? Dallas's roster was just quite frankly

13:37

too deep. I mean, there were a

13:39

championship condender, so there wasn't really a

13:42

chance for him to play. He comes here

13:44

to Toronto, obviously he's from Brampton. So

13:46

it's, you know, like the other night,

13:48

for example, after the last home game,

13:50

I finally stuck around to after the game,

13:53

and it was like really hardwarming seeing like

13:55

a whole bunch of AJ's family, hanging

13:57

out with our Jay's family, and, you

13:59

know, in Toronto when you're from here. Yeah,

14:01

the Jay's, man. The Jay's. Oh, we got

14:03

our own version of the Jay's, maybe. Oh,

14:05

man, those tires hit hard, bro. No, but

14:07

I'm just genuinely happy for him. I feel

14:10

like he played hard, I feel like he

14:12

earned it. I feel like, yeah. You know,

14:14

he did well in the G League setting

14:16

for the Raptors 905, which he joined

14:18

this season as well, and. You know, I

14:20

think that this doesn't necessarily guarantee him

14:22

anything. I think Blake Murphy had probably

14:24

the saddest contract update, which was his

14:27

his contract for next year is 100%

14:29

unguarantied. And I'm like, yeah, what does

14:31

that even mean? Do you even have

14:33

a contract if you sign an unguarantula?

14:35

There's organization out here treating players terribly.

14:38

Okay, all right, a trend here, man.

14:40

But no, but I do think that keep dancing.

14:42

I mean, he's gonna get some money to come

14:44

to training camp. You're gonna get some money

14:46

to go to play in summer league, I

14:48

think. And I'm happy for him. He gets

14:51

a chance to chase his dream, man. It

14:53

should be every Canadian basketball player's dream to

14:55

play for the Raptors. Like I truly. believe

14:57

that that to be the case and I

14:59

know that AJ probably won't factor into rotation

15:02

that much it probably depends on sort of

15:04

what happens with the roster like do you

15:06

for example keep a guy like oh try

15:08

around you you actually pay him or do

15:11

you trade him you know what do you

15:13

use with your first round pick is that

15:15

going to be a shooting guard if so

15:17

you're probably have no space in the

15:20

wing for shooting guards but ultimately he's

15:22

played hard and he's earned it so I'm just

15:24

happy for AJ in the first place yeah in

15:26

the who reports that Colin

15:29

Castleton is leaving the Sixers

15:31

to sign a standard deal

15:33

with the Raptor. So hold

15:35

on it. So Castleton went

15:38

to the Sixers on a

15:40

10-day. Just to get some

15:42

cardio? Just to... Just to go

15:44

get a couple cheese steaks. I

15:46

hope you hit Angelos, man. So

15:48

confused. That shit was fire. Like

15:50

Raptors didn't have room for him

15:52

the last 10 days. I mean,

15:54

they had to get a chance

15:57

to look at coal switer. By

15:59

the way. The Raptors played Orlando

16:01

Robinson, like he was David

16:03

Robinson for the last two

16:05

months. Yeah, he's gone now,

16:08

right? We're like, yeah, you're

16:10

cut. Oh, man. Yeah, anyways,

16:12

Palm Bomb is here, so

16:14

Colin Castleton is back with

16:16

the Raptors. Yeah. I feel like Orlando.

16:18

See me on that one man. Call it

16:21

Castleton. The biggest thing with Orlando for me

16:23

was just it felt like for a center

16:25

he kind of had like zero athletic pop

16:27

and then he wasn't that big either he

16:30

was like 610. So I like the fact that

16:32

he could stretch it out and shoot the three.

16:34

You know he seemed to be okay near the

16:36

basket like you know what I mean like it

16:38

wasn't like he doesn't have any sort of move.

16:40

But it just felt like any time the

16:43

rap is played against. you know true

16:45

centers he was just getting shoved around

16:47

like watching you know some of these recent

16:49

matchups and of course like that's

16:51

natural he's supposed to be your

16:53

third string center but ultimately I

16:55

think Colin probably has maybe a little

16:57

bit more I don't know man sees in

17:00

his name like I'm actually trying to sell

17:02

you calling council that is crazy but he

17:04

can shoot the three maybe a little bit

17:06

better and I think I saw a move

17:08

his feet a little bit better on switches

17:11

so if that if they prefer calling man

17:13

That's a man. How would you talk about

17:15

the Raptors all season, man? I mean, you're

17:17

punching 15 minutes in. And we drop in

17:20

bomb bombs. Okay, let me let me

17:22

help you out. Let me help you

17:24

out. Let me help you. No, no,

17:26

no. I think I think we're done

17:28

with wraps. And what else? No, no,

17:30

no. Because we actually did have one

17:32

thing that came in at the very

17:34

end. Our general manager, Bobby Webster, gave.

17:37

an interview to TSN. I believe this

17:39

is actually before the Hornets game

17:41

because I recognize the jacket from

17:43

the Hornets game. Hold on, I'm

17:45

just, I'm trying to buy time because

17:47

I'm just trying to pull up the

17:50

actual image itself. Oh, here we go. Thank

17:52

you. Thank you. There you go. Shouts

17:54

Jerome for handling this back in. So

17:56

Bobby Webster was on the TSM broadcast

17:58

and talked about the. of Brandon Ingram

18:00

and how he envisions the team running

18:03

when Ingram is eventually healthy. He

18:05

said, quote, Brandon is as naturally

18:07

talented of a score or shopmaker that

18:09

we have had in Toronto since we

18:11

have been here. That sort of dynamic

18:13

abillion offense is going to be unique

18:16

for us. So if Scotty is orchestrating

18:18

and he has quickly shooting and RJ

18:20

cutting and he has Brandon Ingram creating

18:22

on his own and Jacob using his

18:24

touch around the rim, I think that's going

18:27

to make us. hard to guard and quote.

18:29

What do you make of Bobby's assessment of

18:31

how Brandon Ingram is going to perform

18:34

with the Raptors and how sort of he

18:36

envisions this whole thing working? Yeah, I mean,

18:38

I see the vision. I just, I just

18:40

think there's a lot of pressure on Brandon

18:43

Ingram to come in and perform. Like,

18:45

I know I've been joking that like

18:47

everybody's expecting 40 balls from him, but

18:49

I think there's a certain expectation for

18:51

him to come in and average like

18:53

20 plus at least and be that

18:55

go to guy. and to solve whatever crunch

18:58

time issues that the team has and really

19:00

take on that huge number one option role

19:02

and at the same time for the team

19:04

to win games. So like it's it's all

19:06

great that they were able to acquire them

19:08

and they're high on them. I just think

19:10

there's a lot of pressure on them next

19:13

year. So what do you make of this, what

19:15

he said at the beginning, Brandon is

19:17

as naturally talented of a score or

19:19

shopmaker that we've had in Toronto since

19:21

we've been here. Yeah, I mean, you

19:24

know, Kauai and Tamar have been here.

19:26

Yeah, what do you love Bob, he

19:28

did not big up his players? I

19:30

just hope when Brandon Ingram has spent,

19:33

you know, 10 years here in Toronto

19:35

when it comes to his last home

19:37

game, that may be fair to give

19:39

him some minutes, you know. You know,

19:42

like, kill Lee, man. Yeah, but no,

19:44

I'm excited. I'm excited to see Brandon

19:46

Ingram. I'm excited to see what that's

19:48

gonna look like. I wonder... you know

19:51

because he's never been advertised as like

19:53

a great defensive player. Oh that was

19:55

all about offense. Yeah yeah yeah no but I

19:57

wonder like you know what that's gonna look like

19:59

and like if he's not performing up to par

20:01

on the offensive end like what the fans

20:03

reaction because like you know how it is

20:05

like there's gonna be a lot of expectations

20:07

on him maybe he doesn't need it you

20:09

know how raptor's fans are right so yeah

20:11

he's high up on the scapegoat rankings for me

20:14

next year if the rap was open for him yeah

20:16

I mean yes and no I mean honestly like I

20:18

think for me is like the raptors found an opportunity

20:20

to get him for basically Not nothing, but

20:22

like it costs you a first round pick

20:24

that's no it's great. It was a it

20:26

was a great trade I like India's gonna

20:28

be a good team next year I don't

20:30

know what to tell you and then that

20:32

2026 draft pick is probably gonna be like

20:35

20th You know I mean so you're taking

20:37

a 20th pick and expiring salaries, you

20:39

know I mean, so you're taking a

20:41

20th pick and expiring salaries, you know

20:43

I mean, so you're taking a 20th

20:45

pick and expiring expiring, you know, I

20:47

think it makes perfect sense, you know,

20:49

you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know,

20:51

you know, Scotty orchestrating Scotty's a nice passer, you

20:53

know, Acke's a nice shooter, RJ, you know,

20:55

is a great around the basket and Yackev

20:57

has great touch and Brandon is a guy

20:59

who can create on his own, it still

21:01

doesn't necessarily feel like, okay, like they're coming at

21:03

us with like a million things that like we can't

21:06

gark, you know, I mean, like teams will be like,

21:08

all right, like. Let's see. Yeah, we got

21:10

to see what the fit is. No,

21:12

like, yeah, man, we're coming at you

21:14

with Janice driving. I don't know. I

21:16

mean, we're coming at you with Yoakage.

21:19

You see Janice? You see Janice tonight?

21:21

They beat the pistons and he blocked

21:23

Malik Beasley at the end and then

21:25

he shimmied in his face not. I

21:27

love that. If you want to find

21:29

the clip, but you don't have to

21:31

do actual work, Jerome work, Jerome. But

21:33

like... He kept chimneying as Beasley he

21:35

was trying to walk to the bench.

21:37

That's kind of fire man. I don't

21:40

know, and Beepstoo was around, man. You

21:42

know, you know, the pistons are always

21:44

one shove away from a malice at

21:46

the palace, man. Well, you know, by

21:49

the way, you know, the bucks play

21:51

the pistons again this weekend. For some

21:53

reason, it's a double header. Well, I'm

21:55

pretty sure there's gonna be a lot

21:58

of rested players in that. on the

22:00

last two home games of the season.

22:02

And then they were gonna play each

22:04

other on the four or five playoffs

22:06

series. They're gonna play like nine straight

22:09

games potentially. Oh, then that there definitely

22:11

would be a fight. That would 100%

22:13

be a fight. But instead actually the

22:15

bucks just locked up fifth and I

22:17

think Detroit is locked up at six.

22:19

Yeah, yeah. It's coming up later in

22:21

the six pack. Oh, okay. So come

22:23

on. I'm excited for next season. Like

22:26

I'm excited for next season. Like I

22:28

genuinely. No, I think that like, you

22:30

know, this was kind of like the

22:32

big move that we're going to look

22:34

ahead to next season because it's not

22:36

going to be like a huge off-season

22:39

in terms of like, you know, for

22:41

agency or trades. Like we're never

22:43

really signing anybody of consequence. Maybe

22:45

there'll be some minor trades. You

22:47

know, I mean, maybe a more

22:49

major trade. I feel like the

22:51

biggest level trade. What's the, I

22:53

mean, obviously the draft for the

22:55

rapturs. Yeah, okay, here it is. Oh, here

22:57

we go. We're showing the clip for those

23:00

watching. So he helps him up, he

23:02

helps him up. He doesn't stop.

23:04

Honestly, you know what? Janice is

23:06

funny again. Yeah, this might be the

23:09

funniest thing Janice has ever done, man.

23:11

Janice, was corny, Janice was corny for

23:13

a little bit, but now he's

23:15

back. No, he tried to high five,

23:18

he's try to high five, Beazley. He's

23:20

like, like, like, actually mad. He's like,

23:22

actually mad. Yonus is back with.

23:24

Oh that's a great block too. Oh

23:27

yeah. No the best is helping him

23:29

up. No that's amazing good. Oh

23:31

my god. That's not even a

23:33

shimmy too. He's like shaking his

23:35

hips man. Yeah I'm glad Yonus

23:37

is having fun man. Yonus is

23:40

like the most immigrant guy in

23:42

the NBA has ever seen. Yeah

23:44

yeah. This is like this is

23:46

like how I moved through like

23:48

middle school basically before

23:51

I fully assimilated. Someone

23:53

in the chats at Janus the

23:55

Toronto agenda. I'm telling you man

23:57

like oh, got that low relationship,

23:59

you know My side helped out with

24:01

the passport, you know? Oh man,

24:03

you gonna need to help more

24:05

than that, man. Oh my god.

24:08

Can we help out what customs,

24:10

apparently? Oh man. No, okay, how

24:12

has there been a yachas to

24:14

Toronto agenda for like 10 years,

24:16

man? For his entire career, there's

24:18

been a yachas to Toronto agenda,

24:20

man. Maybe that'll be the excitement

24:22

this off season, you know? The

24:24

Raptors, maybe, you know, get involved

24:27

in the trade market a little

24:29

bit. Oh wow, we'll talk about him too. And who else? I don't know

24:31

man, like honest could be available. The NBA's moved so fast now, right? No, it

24:33

does, you're right. No, I wouldn't rule anything on it, I mean, we just saw

24:35

Lukas, a trader, right? We know KD's gonna be on the market, like I

24:37

think it's gonna be a pretty crazy off season for the NBA in general.

24:39

Not for the Raptors, man. Yeah, yeah. We might trade-up, for two second-round two

24:41

second round picks, two second round picks, two second round picks, it's gonna be

24:43

like, it's gonna be like, it's gonna be like, it's gonna be like, it's

24:46

gonna be like, it's gonna be like, it's gonna be like, it's gonna be

24:48

like, it's gonna be like, it's gonna be like, it's gonna be like, it's gonna

24:50

be like, it's gonna be like, it's gonna be like, it's gonna, it's That's

24:52

best level of excitement we get,

24:54

man. Yeah, we're trying to be

24:56

watching Minecraft movie. Don't go watch

24:58

Minecraft. Oh, try. Stay away from

25:00

every silver city in the area,

25:02

man. Oh, no, what happened to

25:04

my camera? No, not Alex, cutting

25:06

off his own camera. Oh, God.

25:09

See you guys, see you guys in a

25:11

bit. Oh, man. All right, I'll hang

25:13

out with you in the meanwhile. We

25:15

wait for Alex to get back in

25:18

here. Drum, I appreciate you, I appreciate

25:20

you, any of the plays in the

25:22

last three minutes. No, come on, man.

25:25

What are you talking about? I'm just

25:27

refreshing the score, man. Yeah, it's a

25:29

tough one, man. We got, I mean,

25:31

the chat was updating us at

25:34

different points, which I like, I

25:36

shared some of those on here,

25:38

but I forget. What was the

25:40

last thing? Ah, we're not

25:43

even going to look for

25:45

it. Alex is back. Welcome

25:47

back, Alex. You just get

25:49

so excited in knocking your

25:51

camera out all the time.

25:53

Oh, sorry. Just rewatch past

25:56

lives. Bet Masai tells Janis

25:58

they have Indian. Yeah! That's

26:00

fire. That's a deep cut.

26:02

It's a deep cut. Messiah

26:04

was like, you know, I

26:06

drafted you in a previous

26:08

in a past life or

26:10

what if this is a

26:12

past life? You know, are

26:14

they gonna set the deal

26:16

at the carousel in Brooklyn?

26:18

Oh man. Would you guys

26:20

rather have John Moran or

26:22

or IQ man? Oh, I

26:24

thought you're gonna ask. Would

26:26

you rather have that sexy

26:29

Korean guy? Wait, hold on, you

26:31

don't think that guy in past lives

26:33

look like NSS. Hell no! Hold on.

26:35

No! First of all, Nuss, see what

26:37

you're doing, I see what you're doing

26:39

there, but Nuss is more handsome. I

26:41

see what you're doing. Yeah, I agree, yeah.

26:43

Okay, drone, can we get a... So I have a

26:45

photo. I'll see you guys. I'm going to go find

26:47

a photo. There's no way. John McGaro and NSSMER. We're

26:50

going to have to have a poll on this. Let's

26:52

still text NIST to tell him to tune in right

26:54

now, man. No, he'll listen to this tomorrow and we'll

26:56

get a group message. All right, Jerome, I'll need you

26:58

to play a video as well too. No, Jerome. Is

27:00

that what you want the rapids to jump in on

27:03

one of these like, you know, you know, you know,

27:05

you know, you know, you know, you know, super star,

27:07

super star, super star, super star, super star, like, like,

27:09

like, super star, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

27:11

like, super star, like, like, like, like, Yeah, I

27:13

mean if if it makes sense.

27:15

I don't know what assets there

27:18

are that the Raptors I mean

27:20

the Raptors do have young players

27:22

that they can put on the

27:24

table But I think we don't

27:26

have that many picks. That's the

27:29

only issue. We have to trade

27:31

most of our own picks. We

27:33

don't have any big trade

27:35

would it involve them probably

27:37

having to put like a

27:39

Scotty on the table Would you

27:42

do? What do you do? Scottie for

27:44

K.D. Ah man. What are we? What are we

27:46

three years ago? K.D. Two years

27:48

are going to like... You know

27:50

what? The gare temple, man. The

27:53

problem is when this conversation happened

27:55

three years ago, the Raptors actually

27:57

had a team that could contend.

28:00

Well, they were coming off of 48

28:02

wins and they did have multiple pieces.

28:04

They had the past, they had Pascal,

28:06

they had O.G. They had Fred, like,

28:09

the idea of adding Katie back then

28:11

was very enticing. Oh, we should not

28:13

be adding Katie, like, no, now, no,

28:16

like now, not for Scotty. Yeah,

28:18

maybe, yeah, maybe Matt Israel will

28:20

take something else. Can we

28:22

call both together like seven

28:24

prospects? I think we'd have

28:26

to take Bradley Bill salary

28:28

dump. I don't mind, I don't

28:30

mind giving some draft capital

28:32

for KD. like and prospects. I'm okay

28:34

with draft cap. What's our team look

28:37

like with Brandon Ingram and Katie? Just

28:39

too slim. You know, just hoopers, man.

28:41

We got the pure hooper? Let's go

28:43

to work, man. Okay, all right, who's

28:46

more handsome here? You know what's right?

28:48

So you got him side by side

28:50

right now. First of all, Ennis is

28:52

more handsome, but also like... This is

28:55

not even close. Ennis, I apologize, I

28:57

apologize formally, do not have Indian. I

28:59

mean, y'all, this was basically the option

29:01

in past lives. Like, one sexy guy

29:03

or this guy. If I just Ennis

29:05

had this role, this would be kind

29:08

of amazing. Yo, now I want Ennis

29:10

in past lives, man. We should just

29:12

get Ennis to, like, just read lines

29:14

from past lives. Just read monologues. Past

29:16

lives ending would have made sense, or

29:19

that decision would have made sense, if

29:21

that was the choice, man. I told

29:23

NSE he's coming on the part to

29:25

review movies with us in the off

29:28

season. Amazing. Well, I haven't offended him

29:30

enough. NSE, my apologies man. NSE

29:32

loves you. My formal apologies. Nothing

29:34

we can't fix over a round

29:36

of Billy Minor Pie. Over some

29:38

Billy Minor Pie at the keg.

29:40

Oh good. All right, I mean,

29:42

I think on that note, Alex,

29:45

welcome back and let's get. To

29:47

a six pack? Let's get to the six

29:49

pack, man. Yeah, but guys, for people tuning

29:51

in now, there is nothing about this game

29:54

that was no worthy. Okay, there's absolutely nothing.

29:56

Yeah, somehow we still managed to kill 28

29:58

minutes before the six. Don't try. Try this

30:01

at home, man. Try

30:03

this at home, guys.

30:05

We're just choking

30:08

around, man. It's

30:10

professionals at work.

30:12

Yeah. All right.

30:14

Play me, play me

30:17

my new Jay-Z, man.

30:19

This is your new

30:21

Jay-Z. This is for

30:24

the, this is for

30:26

the video crowd. Yeah,

30:29

she got a

30:32

one off on

30:34

that. She was

30:36

doing like that.

30:38

Yeah, man. Yeah,

30:40

man. Yeah, man.

30:43

Yeah, she gets

30:45

away. Yeah, she

30:48

gets away. Yeah,

30:50

way, that way. Yeah,

30:53

way. Yeah, way. Yeah,

30:55

way. Yeah, man. This

30:58

ain't right man. You know how bad

31:00

this looks? You know how bad this looks?

31:02

How do we have two of these Jay-Z

31:04

ladies? Someone's at a key footwork.

31:07

She went off on that man.

31:09

For people who are listening on

31:11

the podcast. She did a little

31:13

bit of a Milli rock. She

31:15

was doing some footwork in there.

31:17

For people who are listening on

31:19

the podcast audience, who are quite

31:21

confused as to like why we're

31:23

just laughing at a clip of

31:25

Jay-Z song. There is a white blonde

31:28

lady. The new white Lotus in leggings.

31:30

A bright yellow sweater and a

31:32

pair of tims. In front of

31:34

the Marcy Houses project side. So

31:36

we're just going to retire the

31:38

song is what we're doing? No. It's

31:40

not about the song, man. You

31:43

can't just be treating these like

31:45

actual meaningful places. Like they're just

31:47

props to make a funny video

31:49

about, man. It's just disrespectful the

31:52

culture, like genuinely. That's out our

31:54

world nonsense, man. No, no, no,

31:56

no, no, this is no, this

31:58

is actually disrespectful. You really want

32:01

to stand up for Jayline?

32:03

Your favorite J album is

32:05

blueprint three? Alex, go fix

32:08

your camera again. No, but

32:10

Jerome, let me ask you.

32:12

Yeah. Let's say there was this

32:15

same white lady dressed up

32:17

in Korea Town and dressed

32:19

like, like, sigh and... It's getting

32:21

them out in front of Korea millage.

32:23

You just be like, yo, this shit

32:25

is offensive. basketball police. You know what

32:27

I mean? Like, you know what I

32:29

mean? Like, you know what I mean?

32:31

Like, she puts on a line, like,

32:33

dance costume, but she starts, like, doing

32:35

this in front of Kiway. I'm like,

32:37

I think she was really thinking, you

32:39

know what I mean? I think what

32:42

she was doing, like, when she was

32:44

doing it there, she really thought that

32:46

she was, like, going to be, like, like,

32:48

air quotes, like, invited to the cookout

32:50

with this performance, but like, like, like,

32:52

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

32:54

like, Who was more disrespected? Marcy

32:57

Projects are Chris Bouché. You

32:59

know what? At least Marcy

33:01

Projects got some airtime. Oh my

33:03

gosh. Did Alex make it back in?

33:05

Sorry guys. No you're good. I promise

33:07

to be good. Am I too woke

33:09

for this? I genuinely feel like this

33:12

is disgusting, man. Like, yo, you're mocking

33:14

a piece of actual

33:16

culture, man. Well, I'm

33:18

not supporting it. I'm

33:21

not saying you guys

33:23

are sorry. All right,

33:25

speaking about things we

33:27

want to see. I'm

33:30

like, similar, no. I

33:32

would, I would actually,

33:35

let's, let's get this

33:37

woman canceled, please. I

33:40

don't, do we need

33:43

to do this anymore?

33:45

Oh yeah, will not

33:48

lose ever.

33:50

This actually,

33:52

this actually

33:54

hits harder. Oh

33:57

now you're back.

34:00

Did I spend time to

34:02

sink her dancing to the

34:04

wrapping? Yes. Oh man, that's

34:06

perfect man. Appreciate. Yeah, guys.

34:08

Guys, can we, yeah. Guys,

34:10

can we, yeah, this is.

34:12

What is she bad? That

34:14

actually kind of hit, kind

34:16

of hard, but they look

34:18

like they were related somehow.

34:21

Why do people say did

34:23

she say will? No, she

34:25

said I will not lose.

34:27

I will not lose. You

34:30

know, Jerome, go edit her,

34:32

say Lou. All right. I'll

34:34

work on that later on.

34:36

Oh my god. All right.

34:38

Six pack time. Is

34:41

this what's going on

34:43

in New York, by

34:45

the way, man? I

34:47

mean, to be fair,

34:49

this video's from 2018.

34:52

Yeah, yeah. No, that's

34:54

why I discovered it

34:56

today. No, man. It's

34:58

the White Lotus and

35:00

Gentrification. Yeah, bring back

35:03

petty crimes, man. Come

35:05

on, man. Actually, Olivia Chow gets me those

35:07

vibes, but that's separate. No, but what artists

35:09

and what location would you go to, like,

35:11

dance? I don't know, man. You go to,

35:14

like, a shopper's drug market. You see someone

35:16

trying to recreate the starter from the bottom

35:18

video with Drake, you know. Well, I was

35:20

just saying someone from the bottom video

35:23

with Drake, you know. Well, I was just saying. Yeah,

35:25

Grady did get care about it.

35:27

She gets stopped. I'm not even

35:29

gonna lie, man. Toronto doesn't play

35:31

like that. She would legit get

35:33

stopped. I'm not kidding. Did she

35:36

try this in Toronto? All right,

35:38

no more talk about violence. Speaking

35:40

of violence, um, six pack item

35:42

number one, uh, John Moran has

35:44

a new celebration. We're gonna play

35:46

it really quickly here. Okay. Yeah,

35:49

which is his new three point

35:51

celebration as you have seen recently.

35:53

He's. Supposedly, people think he

35:55

was tossing a grenade into the crowd?

35:58

He bit the pin off the grenade. So

36:00

when you see me do that,

36:02

that's what I'm doing, I'm saying

36:04

what I got to say, quote,

36:06

listen, it's not what you think

36:08

it is, I'm taking my words

36:10

and I'm throwing them out there

36:13

and then I'm going to block

36:15

out the noise, that's what I'm

36:17

doing. So when you see me

36:19

do that, that's what I'm doing,

36:21

I'm saying what I got to

36:23

say to the world and block

36:25

out the noise in the midst

36:28

of what's coming back my way.

36:30

explanation. I see many

36:32

people make this joke online

36:34

and I totally agree. It's

36:36

like when Young Thug was

36:38

trying to justify what the

36:40

Thug reference... So yes, truly

36:42

humble under God and his lawyer

36:45

Brian Steele, who you guys

36:47

should look up, he's a

36:49

character. Brian Steele also said

36:51

pushing P meant pushing

36:53

positivity. By the way, Young

36:55

Thug won his trial. So

36:57

are we buying, are we

37:00

buying Jamaran's explanation that he's

37:02

blocking out the noise? Honestly for

37:05

me, if we play that video

37:07

again, the only thing I have to

37:09

say is I don't condone violence,

37:11

but that is a cool celebration

37:13

man. What could I say? Like

37:15

I might do this in the

37:17

next pickup, right? What happened to

37:19

just like three to the dome

37:22

or something? I don't know, man.

37:24

Like, or ice, ice in the

37:26

veins, you know. So I think

37:28

the thing with with with Jaws

37:30

like he's So he did the gun

37:32

celebration, but it's like a lot of

37:34

people have done that. You know what

37:36

I mean? Like Michael Bridges has been

37:38

doing that thing for like a long

37:41

time where he hits the 380 does

37:43

like points. Yes, but... Scotty does it

37:45

for example with the Raptors. Yes, but

37:47

those players haven't been on Instagram story

37:49

with weapons. Multiple times, but of course

37:51

that is absolutely the reason for reasonable

37:53

people, but I think Jaws like so

37:55

hung up on like I'm a victim

37:57

of being like scapegoated or I'm like

37:59

scapegoated. that he's just trying to make a

38:01

point and I feel like now he's going

38:03

to get even more creative I feel

38:06

like he's probably going to do even more

38:08

you like a you know I don't want

38:10

to put ideas in his head but

38:12

there's lots of different potential I think

38:14

it just shows the level of

38:16

immaturity from him like I do feel like

38:19

for sure and yeah so we're not buying

38:21

the explanation by the way I think it

38:23

can't be said enough that it was From

38:25

where it looked in terms of the

38:28

promise of a draft class that had

38:30

Zion and JAW as one and two

38:32

Just a sheer talent and entertainment value

38:35

of how they play basketball and their

38:37

ability to impact the game Like seriously

38:39

like just on a talent perspective alone

38:41

JAW and Zion should be like a

38:44

draft class where they carry the league

38:46

at certain points How entertaining

38:48

and how, well, I was going to

38:51

say charismatic there. And like when you

38:53

look at the headlines this week, one

38:55

headline for JAW is that he can't

38:58

stop maiming violence on the court despite,

39:00

you know, showcasing guns and getting suspended

39:02

for it last season. And on the

39:04

flip side, all the headlines was Zion are

39:06

like, baby Mama One fought, baby Mama Two.

39:09

Like, it's like, come on, dude. No, at

39:11

one point it's like, you guys were supposed

39:13

to carry the league to some degree, man,

39:15

or at least be like multiple-time all-stars. And

39:17

now both your teams are unserious. And you guys

39:19

are in the headlines for the wrong reasons.

39:21

Like, if I'm Adam Silver, I mean, I

39:23

would set them down and be disappointed. But

39:25

evidently, that doesn't do anything. I mean, Adam

39:27

Silver already gave Jollick of almost full year

39:30

suspension one time, right? like he was what

39:32

is he suspended for like a crazy

39:34

long period wasn't there a crazy story

39:36

last year where like apparently the the

39:38

Grizzlies were playing the Pacers oh yeah

39:40

this was like two years ago yeah

39:42

yeah like the Pacers players reported that

39:44

like they were in their team bus

39:46

and they saw like you know red

39:49

dot yeah like like sniper lasers pointed

39:51

at them yeah that's like what are we

39:53

doing here we doing here man yeah no

39:55

I think I think I don't know man are

39:57

we here to play ball like come on no

39:59

it's tough I'm not going to lie. I'm

40:01

going to do it next time. After

40:04

all that. I'm a hit for credit.

40:06

It's fine. I don't influence

40:08

anybody, man. I'm sorry. Next up,

40:10

we have more details from the

40:13

Mike Malone Calvin booth,

40:15

double-firing. So Romona Shelburne

40:17

and Tim McMahon wrote a great

40:20

piece at ESPN. So I'm just share

40:22

with you some of these insider. details

40:24

that they shared. One thing is that

40:26

they interviewed a dozen team and league

40:29

insiders and they said a theme quickly

40:31

emerged that not only was this war

40:33

between Malone and Booth toxic for the

40:35

two men, but it had infected

40:38

the entire organization. And one

40:40

team source said you were either one

40:42

of Calvin's guys and if you were

40:44

one of Calvin's guys, then Malone wouldn't

40:46

want to play you and then the

40:48

players were miserable and that no one

40:51

was really sad to see Michael Malone

40:53

go. What's your reaction to that?

40:55

I mean, I think we'd like to

40:57

pretend that this kind of

41:00

stuff doesn't happen, but you know,

41:02

it does happen. It's, it is really

41:04

just counterproductive.

41:06

In retrospect, if this is how

41:08

disruptive and how difficult it was

41:11

of a workplace to be in,

41:13

then the nuggets run out, like

41:16

the ownership should have stepped in

41:18

like months ago. Yeah, I think this

41:20

is like it wanted to but like

41:22

yeah, this is further proof that you

41:24

know men are just terrible at Communicating

41:27

Yeah, Michael and Calvin Booth just let

41:29

this fester to the point where they

41:31

both lost jobs five days before the

41:33

playoffs. So I loved some of the

41:35

stats and they were crazy. They were

41:38

like, like one of the points of

41:40

contention was Zek Naji and I'm like

41:42

really. Okay. What's about? So everybody. I

41:44

think the common theme is like you

41:46

know Calvin Booth wanted to draft all

41:49

these young players and Michael Malone wanted

41:51

to stick with the vets and one

41:53

of the details in here that was

41:55

really funny too because like Michael Malone's

41:57

not the first coach to ever prefer

41:59

vets. to young guys hardly and

42:01

in the article it says Phil

42:03

Jackson used to refer to rookies

42:05

as quote a lower than pawn

42:07

scum what does that even mean

42:10

pawned scum like the dirt at

42:12

the bottom of the pond so

42:14

you tell me looking at Devin

42:16

George you scum you scum That's

42:18

crazy, man. He out here calling

42:20

them a George Scum, man. Also,

42:22

Kevin Booth was apparently offered a

42:24

contract extension last summer, but he

42:26

did not accept it because I

42:28

think there was some debate over

42:30

money. And it's been well known

42:32

that the nuggets don't pay their

42:34

exacts, you know, including Messiah Jury.

42:36

And Tim Connolly, who left for

42:39

Minnesota. So that's a common theme

42:41

there. So yeah, but the overall

42:43

takeaway is that the players weren't

42:45

that upset that Michael Malone was

42:47

fired. It seemed like he had

42:49

finally run its course and the

42:51

players had tired of them and

42:53

also that the nuggets wanted to

42:55

make this move at the all-star

42:57

break, but they had won eight

42:59

in a row at that point

43:01

so they couldn't do it. Okay,

43:03

the other thing for me is

43:06

just like. The bigger picture to

43:08

me just feels like you have

43:10

Nikola Yokos, like everyone's focus should

43:12

be on how do you make

43:14

the most of this time where

43:16

you as a franchise in Denver.

43:18

It's like the only time Demers

43:20

ever had an MEP level player.

43:22

Like seriously, who are the best

43:24

Denver Nuggets players of all time?

43:26

It's like Carmelo, Alex English. Yeah,

43:28

Antonio McDise, you know, Kiki Venderway,

43:30

Mahmoud Abdul Rao. You know what

43:32

I mean? Focus, man, you have

43:35

Nicola Yoakage and he's willing to

43:37

stay and it's like you should

43:39

be spending all your time figuring

43:41

out how you can maximize that

43:43

and you have two guys just

43:45

beefing each other over jail and

43:47

pick it bro, like come on!

43:49

No, seriously, it's like, oh man,

43:51

like, you know, they were like

43:53

giving Westbrook minutes instead of Jaylin

43:55

Pickett. I'm like, guys, the answer

43:57

here is neither of them could

43:59

do much for Nickelodeh. Well, the

44:01

tough thing for them is like,

44:04

because of the Murray injury that

44:06

happened during those couple seasons, like

44:08

probably, possibly cost them an extra

44:10

championship within that time frame. Because

44:12

because after they traded for Aaron

44:14

Gordon, they were playing so well

44:16

and then Murray went down Right

44:18

before that playoff run. Yeah, but

44:20

yeah, you're right I mean, I

44:22

think the biggest biggest relief for

44:24

Nuggets fans coming out of this

44:26

is that You know, I don't

44:28

you know, I don't think yo

44:30

Kitch is against the decision Like

44:33

it obviously is not a good

44:35

look to have your your coach

44:37

and GM let go like this

44:39

But you know they look pretty

44:41

happy for David Adelman or boy

44:43

DA the other night after his

44:45

first win over the Kings Hey

44:47

big shows of David Adelman. Yeah

44:49

big shouts at DA so I

44:51

love by the way they snuck

44:53

that into the piece they were

44:55

like You know, by firing Mike

44:57

Malone, they also get an inside

44:59

look on how they're an animal

45:02

performance head coach because he's a

45:04

hot commodity. I'm like, this man's

45:06

interviewed for half the league. What

45:08

are you talking about? We're doing

45:10

like coach preagency now. Why are

45:12

we casting up the interim coach?

45:14

There's actually a line in there.

45:16

They're like, well, you know, and

45:18

this gives them the inside track.

45:20

to David Adelman. I was cracking

45:22

up about that. I'm like, we

45:24

didn't need to slide in David

45:26

Adelman propaganda. Like I wonder who

45:28

the source was there. Well, new

45:31

coach or new coach or GM

45:33

next season, I still think they're

45:35

in a tough spot with their

45:37

roster, right? Like the money's locked

45:39

in on those players. Even if

45:41

you're adding around the fringes, I'm

45:43

not sure what you can do.

45:45

Well, especially because like they don't,

45:47

they're in a tough situation because

45:49

they also don't want to pay

45:51

like. like they don't want to

45:53

pay top dollar you know i

45:55

mean it's not like what the

45:57

what the what the Celtics did

46:00

which was they win the chip

46:02

and then they sign everybody drew

46:04

holiday get 30 million dollars a

46:06

year Derek White you're getting you're

46:08

getting your salary doubled You know,

46:10

Jaylon Bryan, the biggest contract in

46:12

franchise history. And then Jason Tatum,

46:14

you're about to beat that a

46:16

year later. Chris Taps, you're getting

46:18

your money. Al Horfer, you're getting

46:20

their money. You know what I

46:22

mean? Like, they even extended, like,

46:24

Sam Hauser and, and Peyton Pritcher,

46:26

they're like, and paid and Pritcher,

46:29

they're like, everyone, they're like, like,

46:31

Sam Hauser, and, and Peyton Pritcher,

46:33

they're like, like, like, and they

46:35

even extended, like, like, like, like,

46:37

like, like, like, like, like, like,

46:39

they even extended, like, like, like,

46:41

like, like, like, like, they even

46:43

extended, like, like, like, like, like,

46:45

they even extended, like, like, like,

46:47

like, like, like, like, like, like,

46:49

they even extended, like, like, like,

46:51

like, like, like, like, like, like,

46:53

like, like, like right like their

46:55

top four guys sure and if

46:58

you look back like the guys

47:00

that left like Bruce Brown I'm

47:02

not sure if they truly like

47:04

wanted like do they regret not

47:06

giving Bruce Brown like a role-player

47:08

type contract apparently they were trying

47:10

to get Bruce Brown back this

47:12

year oh my god yeah so

47:14

Bruce Brown like Jeff Green like

47:16

Jeff Green was towards the tail

47:18

end of his career yeah sure

47:20

KCP like I don't think you

47:22

know in retrospect That was actually

47:24

a huge miss for them. I

47:27

mean KCP's with bricks all season.

47:29

Yeah. So, but I mean, I

47:31

kind of see Calvin Booth's vision,

47:33

but the problem is like he

47:35

hasn't drafted well. Well, you had

47:37

to replace them with something. It's

47:39

like, fine. You know what? Fine.

47:41

If you don't get Bruce Mountain,

47:43

you got to replace them with

47:45

something. Yeah. You're replacing with nothing,

47:47

man. Yeah. Nicola Yokokich is, has

47:49

secured. He's gonna average a triple

47:51

double this season joining Russell Westbrook

47:53

who's done it four times and

47:56

Oscar Robertson Yeah, where's well that?

47:58

No wilt that? No wilt that

48:00

I was hypothetical dog Will couldn't

48:02

average a triple double They were

48:04

in county blocks back then man.

48:06

Yeah, the box score was two

48:08

lines What was I reading about?

48:10

Something about, uh, even, even Bill

48:12

Russell. And it was like, even

48:14

that time, Bill Russell was averaging

48:16

like 30 rebounds a game. I'm

48:18

like, I just don't understand how

48:20

basketball was played were any like

48:22

multi. people were averaging 30 rebounds

48:25

a game. If you could time

48:27

travel back to like one era,

48:29

which era would you want to

48:31

go back to to watch Ballman?

48:33

Uh, man. Give me the 1950s.

48:35

No, because it's like, I just,

48:37

I don't understand. Yeah, if you

48:39

look at Russell stats, like, yeah,

48:41

he like led the league in

48:43

rebounding like multiple years with like

48:45

25 a game. Oh man, yeah,

48:47

we've gotten so much mileage out

48:49

of Wilton Bill Russell this year.

48:51

Brandon Ingram, please win us some

48:54

games next season. The stat lines

48:56

were nuts. It was like in

48:58

1965, he averaged 14 points and

49:00

24 rebounds, man. Yeah. No, that's

49:02

insane. That's, and he was MEP

49:04

that season, good for him. All

49:06

right, third item here, so mention

49:08

the Pistons earlier. So two playoff

49:10

matchups in the East are locked

49:12

up now, the Knicks. are gonna

49:14

face off against the Pistons. And

49:16

it's gonna be Pacers, Bucks, which

49:18

is a rematch of last season

49:20

in the first round. And yeah,

49:23

no dame. So this is the

49:25

first time the Pistons have made

49:27

the playoffs since 2019. Yes. Can

49:29

you name eight players? Come on.

49:31

that playoff roster. You don't think

49:33

I got this man? Who were

49:35

swept by the Milwaukee Bucks in

49:37

the first round. Okay, hold on,

49:39

hold on. So you got Blake

49:41

Riffen leading the charge? Yep. Andre

Andre Drummond was there. Drummond was

49:47

still there. You had Stanley Johnson

49:49

49:52

at the, was at the Rodney

49:54

Magruder error? Yeah, it was it

49:56

wasn't a gruder. Uh, Reggie Bullock.

49:58

Wasn't that a movie? Oh, Reggie

50:00

Bullock was not on the playoff

50:02

roster. Really? Okay, did he hit

50:04

that game winner against the Raptors?

50:06

There's a former, there's a former

50:08

Raptor. Reggie Jackson, was there. There's

50:10

a former raptor. Yeah, we just

50:12

talked we just talked about him

50:14

We just talked about a former

50:16

raptor that was on this Detroit

50:18

Pistons roster. Yeah, we literally just

50:21

mentioned him Who man was Anthony

50:23

Tolliver on this roster? Anthony Tolliver

50:25

was not what? Yeah, you're too

50:27

confident about this. Wait, hold on.

50:29

That's that's crazy Bruce Brown Oh

50:31

yeah, Bruce Brown, yeah, Bruce Brown

50:33

was on that game, yeah. Wayne

50:35

Ellington. Wayne Ellington, of course. Jose

50:37

Calderone. Oh wow, multiple former Raptors.

50:39

Langston Galloway, Langston Galloway. You know,

50:41

the Pistons always get the most

50:43

random guys man. Ish Smith. Ish

50:45

Smith, yeah, I was gonna get

50:47

to Hish Smith, yeah, I was

50:50

gonna get to Hish Smith for

50:52

sure. The Chihuahua the Pissons trivia

50:54

is they haven't won a playoff

50:56

game since 2008. Oh my god.

50:58

No way. So the last time

51:00

they won a playoff game was

51:02

game four of the Eastern Conference

51:04

finals against the Boston Celtics in

51:06

2008 in 2008. of the trivia

51:08

is who was the leading score

51:10

in that game 2008 yeah who

51:12

was the leading score in game

51:14

four when the Pistons beat the

51:16

Celtics 94 to 75 man okay

51:19

first off is like Are some

51:21

of these guys, let's do the

51:23

roster portion first, because I feel

51:25

like I don't even know. This

51:27

is the Chauncey Billups, Ross. This

51:29

is the Chauncey Billups squad. So

51:31

Chauncey Billups, is Rip Hamilton still

51:33

there? Tachon Prince still there? Tachon

51:35

Prince, yep. Three starters, you got

51:37

already. Ben Wallace. by this point.

51:39

Yeah, Ben Wallace is gone. Is

51:41

Rashid Wallace gone also? Rashid Wallace

51:43

is there. He started. Shid Wallace,

51:45

was he there? Yep, you've named

51:48

the whole starting five. Wow, okay.

51:50

Yeah, you want to try to

51:52

hit the bench? Former Raptor. Lindsay

51:54

Hunter was on that team. Okay,

51:56

former Raptor? Wasn't Lindsay Hunter on

51:58

the Raptor? Or am I trippen?

52:00

I love, oh, Amir Johnson, yeah,

52:02

Amir Johnson was there. Yeah, by

52:04

the way, Lindsay Hunter, I remember

52:06

him because Bill Simmons used to

52:08

write on his columns, he used

52:10

to have like an NBA players

52:12

that sound like hot women, and

52:14

Lindsay Hunter was always host. Yes,

52:17

no, I think, oh God, problematic

52:19

Bill. No, don't read any of

52:21

his 2008 columns, man. Probomatic Bill

52:23

used to have the Lindsay Hunter

52:25

All-Stars. God damn it. They got

52:27

a crazy list on there. God

52:29

damn. Bill's been doing live pots

52:31

from Augusta at the Masters this

52:33

weekend. And he's bringing in his

52:35

agent James Baby, Don't Dixon. No,

52:37

but I'm not going to. I

52:39

skipped the pots this week, man.

52:41

But David Jag is on there.

52:43

Oh, shots a day. Probably selling

52:46

chili oil. No, but he'd be

52:48

like, Kelly Oubre, that's a first

52:50

team all Lindsay Hunter. Yeah, no,

52:52

he had the Lindsay Hunter All-Stars,

52:54

man. Oh, my God. Anyways, yeah,

52:56

you're missing, you know, Rodney Stucky.

52:58

Rodney Stucky, shots of 50 cent,

53:00

yeah, Theo Ratliff, Jarvis, Hayes, Aaron

53:02

Ofalo, and Jason Maxile. Oh, he

53:04

used to be a problem. Yeah,

53:06

yeah, leading them, leading them and

53:08

scoring and scoring and, and, and,

53:10

scoring and, and, and, and, and,

53:12

scoring and, and, and, and, and,

53:15

and, and, and, and, and, and,

53:17

scoring and, and, and, and, and,

53:19

and, and, and, and, and, and,

53:21

and, and, and, and, and, and,

53:23

and, and, and, and, and, and,

53:25

and, and, and, and, and, and,

53:27

and, and, and, and, and, and,

53:29

and, and, 17 years since they

53:31

want to play off game. Do

53:33

you think the win a playoff

53:35

game this year? Yeah, yeah, I

53:37

think, I think, I think, Nick's

53:39

Pistons will go like, I. I'm

53:41

going to say it goes six

53:44

games. Six. Yeah. I don't trust

53:46

the Knicks. The Knicks are not

53:48

a consistent team. Yeah. I don't

53:50

trust the Knicks. What's the game

53:52

plan for the try to win

53:54

that one or two games? Fight.

53:56

Yeah. Isaiah Stewart just grabs Jaylon

53:58

Brenson and he's like, you got

54:00

to fight. Yeah. No, Josh Hart

54:02

definitely gonna fight against one of

54:04

those guys, I feel like. I

54:06

feel like. I feel like it's

54:08

almost too obvious to say that.

54:10

Oh, gee. Oh, gee. Oh, gee.

54:13

Is it almost too obvious at

54:15

this point to say there's gonna

54:17

be a fight in that series?

54:19

But, like, it does seem like

54:21

it's gonna happen. Because the game

54:23

tonight started at 830. So I

54:25

actually tapped into the first half

54:27

of Bucks, Bucks versus Pistons. And

54:29

like, the funny thing with the

54:31

Pistons. Then a shooter running a

54:33

triple handoff for Malik Beasley to

54:35

shoot for three Beasley's been great

54:37

this year Yeah, or like Simone

54:39

Fontecchio knocking down some threes or

54:42

like the bias Harris playing bully

54:44

ball the rim. It's it's all

54:46

shit that like you feel like

54:48

that that shouldn't work Yeah, yeah,

54:50

and it just works. Toby Harris

54:52

man, you gonna get revenge at

54:54

the garden, man. You're gonna get

54:56

revenge at the garden, man. Look

54:58

out for that 38 at the

55:00

38 at the garden, bro All

55:02

right, next up, next up here,

55:04

you know, play in tournament is

55:06

happening next week. I think we're

55:08

talking about on our last part

55:11

when we did our letterbox ratings,

55:13

how it's always been the same

55:15

teams like Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, all

55:17

these teams. So there's one player

55:19

actually that is making his sixth

55:21

straight play in tournament appearance, leading

55:23

back to back to 2020, which

55:25

is during the pandemic. And he

55:27

leads play in record history. for

55:29

most points and rebounds. Can you

55:31

guess who this player is? Wait,

55:33

six straight play in? I do

55:35

have a few hints, but I

55:38

don't want to give it away.

55:40

Well, the first person that came

55:42

top of mine was Trey Young.

55:44

But I think Trey Young at

55:46

least had them in the proper

55:48

playoffs the year that they upset

55:50

the the Sixers. Let me just

55:52

pull up the standings real quick.

55:54

Yeah, don't look at chat because

55:56

chat got it. This player has

55:58

been in the plan every year.

56:00

Yeah. Is it is it bam

56:02

with Miami? No, but they're always

56:04

in the play. Is it Nikola

56:07

Busovich? No. Yeah. Neither of those

56:09

guys. You get to guess one

56:11

player, I guess, from each playing

56:13

team this season. Okay. So you've

56:15

burnt Miami. Damn, those are two,

56:17

my best picks, man. You've burnt

56:19

Chicago. They've been in the playing

56:21

for six straight years? I'm gonna

56:23

count Trey, too. You burnt through

56:25

Trey. Wow. Go west. It's in

56:27

the west. Okay. Dallas. I mean,

56:29

I feel like no, no, none

56:31

of those guys are. Like, no,

56:33

80's not been in the play

56:36

in six straight years, man. Lakers

56:38

have been there a few times,

56:40

but definitely not six. No, not

56:42

six straight years. Uh, Minnesota, who's

56:44

on that team that's been there

56:46

so many times, man? But Minnesota

56:48

hasn't even made the playoffs that

56:50

many years. It's got to be

56:52

Sacramento. Is it De Montes Abonis?

56:54

It's, uh, Jonas, Valentinus, bro. Wow,

56:56

oh, that's that's because he's because

56:58

he's been on so many different

57:00

right New Orleans on Washington New

57:02

Orleans. Yeah, yeah There's a play

57:05

playing. You know, they got him

57:07

like a Charles Darwin graphic. He's

57:09

like, he's falling into the ninth

57:11

seat. He's going from 10 to

57:13

9. He went from home or

57:15

rectus to home with safety. No,

57:17

no, I found it online. I

57:19

found it online. It's from clutch

57:21

point. That's okay. Yeah. That makes

57:23

sense now. Yeah. Yeah. That's credit

57:25

to clutch points. It's an incredible

57:27

graphic. I'm surprised my camera didn't

57:29

trip out off. Jonas Valentous. It's

57:31

been on six. Yeah. I was

57:34

I was pretty surprised. That's amazing.

57:36

That's amazing. Memphis, New Orleans, Washington,

57:38

Sacramento. Why? By the way? What

57:40

is Sacramento strategy? Like can we

57:42

take a second to pause what

57:44

Sacramento's team build? No, it's tough

57:46

man. I think Sacramento's one of

57:48

those teams that's just like always

57:50

trying to stay relevant, right? Like

57:52

we can't, we can't get back

57:54

to the rebuild again. Our fans

57:56

have been suffering for so long.

57:58

Deer and Fox wanted out, so

58:00

now we got to bring in

58:03

Levine. We got to fire our

58:05

coach even though we just won

58:07

Coach of the Year with him.

58:09

We got to... Like, we have

58:11

to add more guards or roster

58:13

that is exclusively guards already. Do

58:15

you feel like teams are more

58:17

panicky? Like, does it feel like

58:19

they've been more panicky this year?

58:21

Like with the coaches, like when

58:23

you think about the coaches firing

58:25

and stuff, like Sacramento fell panicky,

58:27

obviously Memphis and Denver feels panicky.

58:29

Like, it just, I don't know,

58:32

like. There's definitely more desperation in

58:34

the league this year. Maybe that

58:36

speaks to like team stealing like

58:38

it's more open than before. Maybe

58:40

the second apron might be somewhat

58:42

to blame too because like there

58:44

might be less flexibility in terms

58:46

of how you build your roster.

58:48

But ultimately, some of these, it

58:50

just feels like a weird season.

58:52

Probably Sacramento is like, I mean,

58:54

this is. but going on for

58:56

basically 20 straight years but like

58:58

they're the number one team where

59:01

it's like if you want to

59:03

fleece a team you should try

59:05

to like call up Sacramento like

59:07

right right like rapid this way

59:09

back of the day with the

59:11

Rudy Gay dump but like yeah

59:13

like there's not that many organizations

59:15

in the league now that I'll

59:17

just give you straight up bad

59:19

lopsided deals yeah well Phoenix Phoenix

59:21

Phoenix Phoenix That's how they end

59:23

up with Bradley Beale. Ironically, the

59:25

second apron actually helped the sons

59:27

the most because now they can't

59:30

make more dumb moves. Oh, I

59:32

saw a report today. I don't

59:34

know how legit this is, but

59:36

apparently the, the, the sons are

59:38

going to look to... It's going

59:40

to be like a $200 million

59:42

buyout. Yeah, so. It's crazy. I

59:44

feel like buyout's kind of what,

59:46

like, because it used to be

59:48

like everyone used to have a

59:50

buyout or like there was that

59:52

one year the NBA put an

59:54

average to closet. It was like

59:56

you can Amnesty One player on

59:59

your roster? Yeah, yeah. Amnesty Amnesty

1:00:01

was fun, man. Because like every

1:00:03

fan base could be like, yo,

1:00:05

Amnesty His ass. That was crazy.

1:00:07

Those were like, the Knicks had

1:00:09

to like Amnesty, Chelsea, Phillips, because

1:00:11

he sucked. No, it was crazy

1:00:13

because the debate in Toronto was

1:00:15

like, do we Amnesty, Linus Clais,

1:00:17

or do we Amnesty, Andrea Barnani,

1:00:19

because they're all bad contracts with

1:00:21

the team. That was a great

1:00:23

time for content, too. Like, like,

1:00:25

like, like, imagine just doing like,

1:00:28

like, like, like, just doing, like,

1:00:30

like, like, like, like, like, like,

1:00:32

just doing, like, like, like, like,

1:00:34

like, like, like, just doing, like,

1:00:36

like, like, like, like, like, like,

1:00:38

like, like, like, like, like, like,

1:00:40

like, like, like, like, like, like,

1:00:42

like, like, like, like, like, like,

1:00:44

like, like, like, Did they, did

1:00:46

they, by the way, I'm sure

1:00:48

Bill Simmons did that, by the

1:00:50

way. This is like, right up

1:00:52

his alley. With a Lindsay on

1:00:54

tomorrow. Yeah, he's like, you can't

1:00:57

keep Lindsay. I can't believe you

1:00:59

brought me back to that. That

1:01:01

was a real thing that he

1:01:03

was doing. I know. The thing

1:01:05

with the amnesty too is, I

1:01:07

think the biggest amnesty was Gilbert

1:01:09

arenas. Right, right, because he was

1:01:11

in Orlando, was he, he might

1:01:13

have been, he was in Orlando.

1:01:15

Yeah. Or no you're right, it

1:01:17

might have been Washington and then

1:01:19

he signed with Orlando maybe, like

1:01:21

on a minimum. Right. Yeah, because

1:01:23

he was injured. Yeah, he was.

1:01:26

By the way, is, I mean,

1:01:28

I guess they play very differently

1:01:30

even though they're at the same

1:01:32

position, but is Josh, is this

1:01:34

generation scope and arenas? Yeah, yeah,

1:01:36

very different style though, yeah, but

1:01:38

I get it, like career art

1:01:40

type, right? Yeah, like, like a

1:01:42

little un serious, like a little

1:01:44

unserious, ultimately super talented, but super

1:01:46

unserious, super-un serious. Yeah, I also

1:01:48

don't know why I'm getting on

1:01:50

my basketball analysis from Gilbert Arena's

1:01:52

and Roshan McCants these days. Today

1:01:55

I saw, no, but like when

1:01:57

I'm just browsing, like today I

1:01:59

saw like, oh, Roshan McCant says,

1:02:01

look, a dauntish is not a

1:02:03

playoff type player. I'm like, okay.

1:02:05

What? No, but I'm like, what

1:02:07

are we doing? We're gonna draw

1:02:09

the line on these like, X

1:02:11

player like analysts. That's just, I

1:02:13

don't understand how anyone has watched

1:02:15

any playoffs in the last five

1:02:17

years and says, Luka doesn't play

1:02:19

well in the playoffs. That's actually

1:02:21

nuts. Yeah. No, Pat is saying

1:02:24

like, Gil's High, Gilbert Arena's as

1:02:26

high as were higher. Yeah, Prime

1:02:28

Gilbert Arena is in Washington, man.

1:02:30

This guy was going ahead to

1:02:32

hell with the Braun, man. Kobe

1:02:34

Kobe-60, he was on his Gilbert

1:02:36

Arena, his revenge tour. Like he

1:02:38

was one of the most fun

1:02:40

players in the league to watch

1:02:42

for a period of time for

1:02:44

sure. He was man, and he

1:02:46

also had a crazy personality. Remember

1:02:48

he used to, you put me

1:02:50

on the fact that uh, Mc10.

1:02:53

Yeah, Dave McNediman used to do,

1:02:55

uh, yeah, blog, like I think

1:02:57

he ghostwrote Gilbert arenas his blog.

1:02:59

Gilbert arenas would like, he was

1:03:01

one of the first social media

1:03:03

guys too, like he would be

1:03:05

on Twitter like just giving away

1:03:07

shoes. Like just giving away shoes,

1:03:09

like just giving away shoes. Yeah,

1:03:11

he also wore crazy sneakers on

1:03:13

the court. Yeah, no agent zero

1:03:15

was a good error man. Well,

1:03:17

he also shot and he literally

1:03:19

took his shit in a sneaker

1:03:22

and then apparently Andre Blatch like

1:03:24

put his feet in them. Was

1:03:26

that not shack? Every time feces

1:03:28

is involved I feel like it's

1:03:30

a shack story. That might be

1:03:32

a shack story. But in which

1:03:34

case, I think there's another story

1:03:36

where like they cut up suits

1:03:38

or something. No, I think that

1:03:40

Andre Blatch story is a real

1:03:42

story. Hold on, I'm gonna look

1:03:44

that up. Yeah, yeah, you, you,

1:03:46

Go Andre Blatch, Arena's Andre Blatch

1:03:48

Shoe prank. Yeah, this is a

1:03:51

real story. Gilbert Arena once took

1:03:53

a dump in Andre Blatch's shoe.

1:03:55

He also literally picked the wrong

1:03:57

guy to have a gunfight with.

1:03:59

He literally picked a murderer! No,

1:04:01

of every person possible in the

1:04:03

whole league. This guy was playing

1:04:05

Russian roulette, like literally picked the

1:04:07

worst person. Yeah, no, but Agent

1:04:09

Zero was kind of, was really

1:04:11

influential in the sense of like,

1:04:13

yeah, I think you actually got

1:04:15

a lot of players to start

1:04:17

Wang Zero. Like I think game

1:04:20

for example was one of the

1:04:22

infamous disciples. Well this whole thing

1:04:24

was because he was. He was

1:04:26

on drafted, right? He was like

1:04:28

a second round pig? Was it

1:04:30

a second round? And then they

1:04:32

made the Gilbert arenas rule for

1:04:34

how much you, they put up

1:04:36

Max on how much you can

1:04:38

offer a team. Yeah, because he

1:04:40

started on the Warriors and the

1:04:42

Warriors couldn't really afford them, right?

1:04:44

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, this

1:04:46

is a real thing. You guys,

1:04:49

look up Gilbert arenas, Andre Blatch,

1:04:51

shoe. Gilbert arenas once did a

1:04:53

lot of stuff, man. He just

1:04:55

did a lot of stuff, bro.

1:04:57

Yeah, he was, uh, he was,

1:04:59

yeah, you remember early, you remember

1:05:01

early social media days, like Jared

1:05:03

Dudley was a big social media

1:05:05

guy. He used to do instead

1:05:07

of GMZ, he would do JMC.

1:05:09

Well, what happened was like early

1:05:11

on in the Wizards era, Nick

1:05:13

Young and Dominic McGuire did a

1:05:15

vlog. So they were the rookies

1:05:18

on the Wizards who would go

1:05:20

and then have like Gilbert arenas

1:05:22

on as their vet every now

1:05:24

and then they would clown them

1:05:26

would turn into. seasons where now

1:05:28

you have Andre Blatch, you have

1:05:30

Javal McGee, and then there was

1:05:32

all these prank wars. So shitting

1:05:34

in a shoe is actually probably

1:05:36

where it elevates you. I think

1:05:38

like one of their cars got

1:05:40

filled with like popcorn at one

1:05:42

point. I know that happened with

1:05:44

raptors as well. But yeah, there

1:05:47

was a there's this famous photo

1:05:49

too, like after the gun stuff

1:05:51

was being investigated, like. Gilbert was

1:05:53

in a pre-game huddle and he

1:05:55

just threw up gun. It's crazy.

1:05:57

With like, I don't know, Jamis.

1:05:59

This is what I'm saying. Like,

1:06:01

this is, yeah. The last guy

1:06:03

we had a, the last time

1:06:05

we had somebody like this in

1:06:07

the league. Yeah. Was that? You

1:06:09

know, it's, yeah. No, it's crazy,

1:06:11

man. That's a crazy era of

1:06:13

the NBA as well. But all

1:06:16

right. Next up. We updated this

1:06:18

yet again. I sell ice in

1:06:20

the winter, I sell fire in

1:06:22

hell, I am a hustle baby,

1:06:24

I'll go water to a well.

1:06:26

For people listening, we have now

1:06:28

have Yana shimming to this song.

1:06:30

Also, the lore of this song

1:06:32

just deepens every episode. I mean,

1:06:34

the other part that's become the

1:06:36

lore of the song now is

1:06:38

a new sound drop. So now

1:06:40

we have... We still need to

1:06:42

get a bunch of wrappers saying

1:06:45

Black Dragon Roll. Oh boy. I

1:06:47

did one, I did one, I

1:06:49

did one, I don't know why

1:06:51

it's not uploaded in here anymore.

1:06:53

Cisco saying Dragon, like... Yeah, yeah,

1:06:55

no, you did put something together,

1:06:57

I do remember that. Oh my

1:06:59

god. All right, anyway, what a

1:07:01

show, what a show. We have

1:07:03

really... done everything possible to keep

1:07:05

it entertaining after the Raptors played

1:07:07

the Dallas matter. We're out of

1:07:09

six packs, right? We got two

1:07:11

more, but we don't have to

1:07:14

do it. No, no, no, let's

1:07:16

keep going. No, no, let's keep

1:07:18

rolling, man. I'm not just going

1:07:20

to do a smooth transition, man.

1:07:22

We can get to some of

1:07:24

our required partnership things. Let's get

1:07:26

to some questions, man. Okay, fine.

1:07:28

We have we have Sunday as

1:07:30

well. So we will make it

1:07:32

a deluxe five. We're going to

1:07:34

be like LeBron, you know, here

1:07:36

you go two more. Yeah, yeah,

1:07:38

let's get to. I saw some

1:07:40

good questions. So, okay. All right,

1:07:43

it is time now for the

1:07:45

Tangerine fan inbox and we want

1:07:47

to let's. It's time now for

1:07:49

the Tangerine Fanzrine. And we want

1:07:51

to let you know that Tangerine

1:07:53

is the official bank on the

1:07:55

official. 81 of the season as

1:07:57

the Raptors got 30 piece by

1:07:59

the Brooklyn Dallas Mavericks for the

1:08:01

entire game and are still here

1:08:03

chilling hanging out. I see over

1:08:05

800 people in here with a

1:08:07

1:08:18

1:08:20

1:08:22

So this year, for the Raptor's

1:08:24

30th anniversary, Tangerius turned the spotlight

1:08:26

from the court to the stands.

1:08:28

You're okay, Alex. Celebration away Raptor

1:08:45

people up in line just like

1:08:53

shouting out. All

1:08:56

right, all right, you done your read

1:08:58

guys What are people asking the questions

1:09:01

here? All right, let's let's get like

1:09:03

let's start easy with like a Raptor's

1:09:05

basketball base question But how many players

1:09:07

on this roster would you send to

1:09:10

summer league has shed already progressed past

1:09:12

that point? No man There you go.

1:09:14

You're a sophomore go to summer league

1:09:16

man No, seriously, like, you gotta be,

1:09:19

like, you gotta be, like, a, won-be

1:09:21

level of sophomore and not to go

1:09:23

to Summer League. Like, I saw Brandon

1:09:25

Miller at Summer League last year, you

1:09:28

know what I mean? It's like... Wasn't

1:09:30

Walker Castler there? Yeah, you know, like,

1:09:32

go to Summer League. No, no, seriously.

1:09:35

How many players on this roster should

1:09:37

go to Summer League? chance to get

1:09:39

everyone to come together anyway and it's

1:09:41

just like essentially had like a team

1:09:44

gathering essentially for the summertime there's really

1:09:46

get a good Jacobi Walter look last

1:09:48

summer league so this would be a

1:09:50

good opportunity to see no I'm not

1:09:53

gonna like you James the battle should

1:09:55

be a summer league yeah Mobile should

1:09:57

be a summer league Jamal Shedd She

1:09:59

be a summer league. AJ Lawson, you

1:10:02

know, should be a summer league. Jared

1:10:04

Rodin, you should come to summer league,

1:10:06

Jacoby Walter, come to summer league. All

1:10:09

your, I mean, I mean, damn bro,

1:10:11

I wanna see everybody, like all the

1:10:13

guys who are rookies should come to

1:10:15

the summer league. Some of the sophomores,

1:10:18

honestly, I wouldn't even mind if Grady

1:10:20

Dick went to summer league. I feel

1:10:22

like Grady graduated. You don't think Grady

1:10:24

graduated from Summer League? Uh, yeah, I

1:10:27

think he might be. That's a tough

1:10:29

one. Because he's coming back from injuries

1:10:31

so it wouldn't be bad. But I'm

1:10:33

like, damn, he was like a starter

1:10:36

and everything. Yeah, Shom Shay, Shom Shay

1:10:38

come to Summer League, our first round

1:10:40

picture being the Summer League. Our second

1:10:43

round should be in Summer League? Like,

1:10:45

yeah, we should go for the Summer

1:10:47

League, man. Well, loo! You know what?

1:10:49

You guys have managed to destroy that

1:10:52

clip for me. I no longer want

1:10:54

to hear that lady. So you know

1:10:56

what? Job well done. Because that's all

1:10:58

I can think of now when I

1:11:01

think of. I'm jeez-thought might have been

1:11:03

ruined for me too. So I'm saying,

1:11:05

man, they should leave the Marcy projects

1:11:07

alone, man. I'm on your side. Yeah,

1:11:10

see, I told you that take wasn't

1:11:12

too woke. I told you. Okay, so

1:11:14

everyone go to Summer League. Yeah. And

1:11:17

honestly, I actually want to see, like,

1:11:19

them use Summer League as a chance

1:11:21

to work on certain aspects. Like, I

1:11:23

would love for Mobile to continue to

1:11:26

like expanding his offensive game. I would

1:11:28

love to see if Grady ends up

1:11:30

going, I would love to see Grady

1:11:32

showcase a better defensive output, but more

1:11:35

than anything else. The matter guys, we

1:11:37

were sending like half the roster there.

1:11:39

You know what we can do to

1:11:42

figure out who's gonna be our newest

1:11:44

rookie to join us at Summer League?

1:11:46

We can do a tankathon right now

1:11:48

and you can draft based on who

1:11:51

we get on this. Let's go. Let's

1:11:53

go. Okay, we're loading it up here,

1:11:55

we have it up. So we're going

1:11:57

to send this guys you have any

1:12:00

predictions. We're at the 7th position right

1:12:02

now where we go. Jerome, I got

1:12:04

to say man, the fact that you

1:12:06

don't use a ad block is crazy

1:12:09

to me, man. Yeah. Why am I

1:12:11

looking at Don dish watching? It removes

1:12:13

up to 99% of Greece, okay? Available

1:12:16

on Costco wholesale. Okay, so what do

1:12:18

you guys have? I got the raptors

1:12:20

jumping to 3rd. Okay, Will? Raptors have

1:12:22

been, I think 7th twice, give us

1:12:25

your prediction, your prediction, please. Uh, I'm

1:12:27

gonna go with, you know what, let's

1:12:29

go for the second pick, why not,

1:12:31

just really hopeful. Here we go. We

1:12:34

dropped all the way to the eighth.

1:12:36

Oh man, that sucked. I think this

1:12:38

is prime, this is primeous for the

1:12:40

fact that like, you know, these are

1:12:43

what the odds are, you know, okay,

1:12:45

so at the eighth position, who is

1:12:47

the person that's joining right now, if

1:12:50

you had to pick someone or drop

1:12:52

someone will. I have, I think every

1:12:54

single mock draft I've seen has the

1:12:56

raptors taking Kama Mala watch, like every

1:12:59

single one. So I'm gonna go with

1:13:01

the draft experts on this one. But

1:13:03

I mean, what happened to the Lindsay

1:13:05

under All-Star, can't nipple? What's he at?

1:13:08

That's a Grady Dick All-Star for unfortunately.

1:13:10

Oh boy. Yeah, man. I mean, nipple

1:13:12

deck back where will be kind of

1:13:14

nice. The shooting between the two of

1:13:17

them will be great. Yeah,

1:13:19

what's the next question next question

1:13:21

here Oh boy. I mean I

1:13:24

guess in the similar if it

1:13:26

was there Would y'all take Edgecombe

1:13:28

over Bailey I think I would

1:13:30

no come on I mean I

1:13:32

think there's certainly a realistic chance

1:13:34

that Edgecombe could be a better

1:13:36

More productive NBA player, but I

1:13:38

think you got a bet on

1:13:41

the upside man. I mean like

1:13:43

Bailey is also really athletic I

1:13:45

mean Edgecombe is more athletic than

1:13:47

Bailey, but Edgeham is also like

1:13:49

six too He's a 6-2 guard

1:13:51

who like maybe can create for

1:13:53

himself, but otherwise can be a

1:13:55

pretty athletic like 3&D guy at

1:13:58

the start and maybe develop more

1:14:00

from there. Again, these guys are

1:14:02

very young, so I'm not gonna

1:14:04

cap their potential. Bailey, the stuff...

1:14:06

the stuff that he's already doing

1:14:08

is like you basically just gotta

1:14:10

teach him like how to play

1:14:12

in a team basketball setting but

1:14:15

like this guy's as pure hooper

1:14:17

as against basically as a prospect

1:14:19

man like the level of shop

1:14:21

making is already pretty crazy like

1:14:23

so and plus the plus he's

1:14:25

about like 6869 frame he's also

1:14:27

quite athletic he can you know

1:14:29

potentially be a defender it's like

1:14:31

I think I would bet on

1:14:34

being able to teach Bailey how

1:14:36

to play in a team concept

1:14:38

versus betting on Edgecom to be

1:14:40

So athletic that it overcomes his

1:14:42

size and his current skill set.

1:14:44

All right. G. M. Alex Wong.

1:14:46

I'm imagining the answer to this

1:14:48

is literally anyone possible. But if

1:14:51

you were to trade for Yocha's

1:14:53

GM for Toronto, who would you

1:14:55

trade? Yo. I would trade every

1:14:57

morning. Yeah. I would trade. Five

1:14:59

picks, four pick swaps. I would

1:15:01

trade. I would trade this pick

1:15:03

that's coming in the draft. I

1:15:05

would trade. What else would Denver

1:15:08

want, man? Anything that Denver wants

1:15:10

to get it. What do you

1:15:12

want, man? Everybody that we're sending

1:15:14

to Summer League, you could send

1:15:16

to Denver Nuggets. Yo, they need

1:15:18

a new GM? Yo, Bobby Webster?

1:15:20

Bobby, Webster, Bobby. You better learn,

1:15:22

you better learn mile high altitude

1:15:25

buddy. Bobby, I hope they have

1:15:27

Patois out there in Denver as

1:15:29

well. Oh boy. All right, here's

1:15:31

one that I think we can

1:15:33

all get in on together. So,

1:15:35

uh, WrestleMania is coming up next

1:15:37

week and we got a wrestling

1:15:39

based question here. Jerome and Alex,

1:15:41

five on five survivor series match

1:15:44

between active wrestlers and NBA players

1:15:46

will, we're gonna let you pick

1:15:48

the NBA side of five NBA

1:15:50

players that you would have. wrestling

1:15:52

in a match and we will

1:15:54

pick collectively our five wrestlers. So

1:15:56

let's let will go first. Will

1:15:58

you go first match each NBA

1:16:01

player to like a wrestler that

1:16:03

would be good. Okay. Good call.

1:16:05

Good call. Good call. Good call.

1:16:07

All right. Number one pick. Obviously

1:16:09

got to be Isaiah Stewart. Yeah.

1:16:11

I'm thinking a Jerome. I'm thinking

1:16:13

Braun Breaker. We can talk through

1:16:15

it. Okay. I have a couple

1:16:18

of names here, but in disguise.

1:16:20

Is this February? I think it's

1:16:22

Jacob Fat too. Yeah. If you

1:16:24

want to go to AW, you

1:16:26

might be able to pull someone

1:16:28

from your favorite hurt syndicate. Oh,

1:16:30

okay. Bobby Lashley? Bobby Lashley versus...

1:16:32

We need a big physical type,

1:16:35

right? Right, right. A bronze showman?

1:16:37

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got to

1:16:39

be sounding like the awesome. I

1:16:41

think I think if like the

1:16:43

most Isaiah Stewart person if we're

1:16:45

gonna say strictly W. W. E.

1:16:47

I think it's probably Jacob fat.

1:16:49

Let's go with Jacob fat too.

1:20:11

Yo, why you guys say Gunther,

1:20:13

I'm envisioning Gunther from Friends, man.

1:20:15

I love how I've downloaded all.

1:20:17

modern day wrestling in the last

1:20:19

three weeks ever since like Jerome

1:20:22

took me to like watch one

1:20:24

rest. I took you to one

1:20:26

wrestling event and like Alex is

1:20:28

just texting me like he doesn't

1:20:30

1:20:38

going to watch raw later. Guys,

1:20:41

when you guys say Gunther, this

1:20:43

is the woman, man. I know,

1:20:45

I know. For people who are

1:20:47

listening to the pod right now,

1:20:49

Will is loading up Gunther, the

1:20:51

character from friends, who looks nothing

1:20:53

like, Will, have you found a

1:20:55

picture of Gunther that WWW? I

1:20:58

got their WWWA, you do your

1:21:00

1:21:02

your last pick. So my roster

1:21:04

right now is Isaiah Stewart, I

1:21:06

got Drey Mon Green, I got

1:21:08

Chris Paul. It's a pretty good

1:21:10

lineup. I got Stephen Adams. Yeah,

1:21:12

it's solid. Last one, I need

1:21:15

like a, like a secret. Yeah,

1:21:17

give us like a wild card,

1:21:19

I get a wild card in

1:21:21

there. I was going to go

1:21:23

surge abaca for the fighting and

1:21:25

the critical element. I feel like

1:21:27

he would do wall in the

1:21:29

ring. But future guest surge abaca.

1:21:32

You know what, maybe we'll lean

1:21:34

out of surge abaca then. Just

1:21:36

in case of work. That's what

1:21:38

I'm trying to tell you. Give

1:21:40

me James Johnson. I saw James

1:21:42

Johnson in the chat too. Okay.

1:21:44

Time or three time after James

1:21:46

Johnson. Okay. Oh, there's a Gunther

1:21:49

right by the way. That's the

1:21:51

most generic looking guy ever. Like

1:21:53

you know what? I thought I

1:21:55

thought this about the modern day

1:21:57

wrestlers too, but once you get

1:21:59

to know them. What's his back

1:22:01

story? What's what's Gunther's story? Like

1:22:03

what's his story? Oh, yeah. German?

1:22:05

Or he's Austrian, I think. But,

1:22:08

uh, yeah. Yeah, he just he

1:22:10

beats the crap out of people.

1:22:12

You can't you can't explain wrestling

1:22:14

you have to experience it. He's

1:22:46

for James Johnson. Yeah, James Johnson.

1:22:48

For people who don't know, James

1:22:50

Johnson, uh, learned, I think, MMA,

1:22:52

and he never really fought in

1:22:54

like official battles or whatever, but

1:22:56

apparently. James Johnson still. plays in

1:22:59

the NBA range? Yeah, he's on

1:23:01

the... He's the official intimidating for

1:23:03

the Indiana Pacers and the Pacers

1:23:05

got him. Yes, yes. Do you

1:23:07

intimidate because of the fact that

1:23:09

last year they had the whole

1:23:11

scuffle with the Bucks over the

1:23:13

game ball between Janus' career high,

1:23:15

which also broke a cream record

1:23:18

for most points in the ball?

1:23:20

And Oscar Sheboy, who, you know.

1:26:36

past last review, man. No, we're

1:26:44

Review said Addis would have been

1:26:46

any more handsome than the... Oh

1:26:48

1:26:52

funny man. There we go. Please.

1:26:54

We'll close it. We'll close the

1:26:56

chair. To be honest, like... Or

1:26:58

how about this? Yeah. You don't

1:27:00

want rounders? Gone girl? Gone girl?

1:27:02

Well, I was gonna say in

1:27:04

this... What if he tries to

1:27:06

sell him? As he's someone from

1:27:08

Boston who knows the part that

1:27:10

you try to sell him on

1:27:12

infernal affairs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

1:27:15

like that. I like that. Yeah,

1:27:17

that's a good one too. To

1:27:19

be honest, like, you know, you

1:27:21

guys know I love Bill, but

1:27:23

like, he does some movies I

1:27:25

don't care about are rewatchables, man.

1:27:27

What's your least favorite Bill movie

1:27:29

that, or what's one? I don't

1:27:31

know, like I actually can't really

1:27:33

get into his rewatchables. Okay. Just

1:27:35

because of his movie choices. Right.

1:27:37

So does he take the same

1:27:39

approach like does he does he

1:27:41

use Apex Mountain, but like he's

1:27:43

like yeah, there's there's category He's

1:27:45

like he's like is Chris Tucker

1:27:47

at his in his Apex Mountain

1:27:49

in rush hour to yeah, yeah,

1:27:51

it's actually the concepts are great.

1:27:53

Yeah, because you bust out the

1:27:56

same concepts like favorite scenes, like

1:27:58

favorite behind the scenes stories, like

1:28:00

best quotes. Because you have like

1:28:02

a Ewing theory, but like, they're

1:28:04

like, oh, Jackie Chan, Ewing theory,

1:28:06

Canada, because the lessee speaks English,

1:28:08

the better. Oh my God. Yeah,

1:28:10

no. So, you know, we'll do

1:28:12

some, we'll do some rewatchables. We'll

1:28:14

do some movie reviews in the

1:28:16

summer. Sure. So, that's, that's, that's

1:28:18

pretty amazing. I would, I probably

1:28:20

pick Russia. I just want to

1:28:22

know. And I want the unfiltered

1:28:24

version. I want like 2008, like

1:28:26

Lindsay, Lindsay Hunter All-Star version of

1:28:28

Bill. Oh my God. I need

1:28:30

that version of Bill. You can

1:28:32

bring the Brett Ratner out of

1:28:34

Bill. I'm gonna be on the

1:28:36

SBN page two tonight. Is that

1:28:39

shit still right? Yeah, I need

1:28:41

page two Bill for that, you

1:28:43

know what I mean? I don't

1:28:45

want the, I don't want the

1:28:47

modern bill who understands that he's

1:28:49

worth like $250 million to Spotify,

1:28:51

you know, you know what I

1:28:53

mean? Like I mean? I need,

1:28:55

1:29:19

guys ever have nothing to do,

1:29:22

it's also fun to go back

1:29:24

to Bill's old pods on the

1:29:26

B.S. report and just and just

1:29:28

listen to his like his 2015

1:29:30

like NBA pods with like exactly.

1:29:32

Alex, what was the last thing

1:29:34

you actually done this? Don't tell

1:29:36

me you actually do this? No,

1:29:38

like it's it's fun once in

1:29:40

a while to pull up. Didn't

1:29:42

you start listening to a podcast

1:29:44

that was reviewing like Yeah, so

1:29:46

there's a Bill Simmons subreddit. So

1:29:48

the people who run the person,

1:29:50

I think who runs the subreddit,

1:29:52

has a pod where they talk

1:29:54

about Bill. So you should be

1:29:56

on that pod. So if you

1:29:58

look up Bill Simmons, like, subreddit

1:30:00

pod, there's, there's an episode where

1:30:03

they go through his whole career.

1:30:05

It's like four hours. Oh, goodness.

1:30:07

But then they're like, oh, what's

1:30:09

great? Letting is Apex Mountain. Like,

1:30:11

it gets really meta. Yeah, no,

1:30:13

absolutely, man. And then they're like,

1:30:15

oh, Bill's Loss is Fastball. You're

1:30:17

using his own terms against him,

1:30:19

is cruel. Yeah, they always say

1:30:21

Bill's Loss is Fastball. That's actually

1:30:23

very good. All right, that covers

1:30:25

our questions, errors. What an episode.

1:30:27

This will be one of our

1:30:29

best men. Well, do you have

1:30:31

three stars for this? Oh, yeah,

1:30:33

no stars, man. No stars, man.

1:30:35

No stars? Any time you start

1:30:37

a part, like, mid game, it's

1:30:39

gotta be a no star rule.

1:30:41

No, no. We're getting stars for

1:30:43

this one. Time it out for

1:30:46

the three stars of the game.
