Hey, everyone. It's Guy Raz here. Have you heard

0:02

about this new podcast called Six Trophies?

0:05

You have to give it a listen. Your hosts

0:07

are New York Times bestselling author Shea

0:09

Serrano and Emmy winner Jason Concepcion.

0:13

They're back together again, this time aiming

0:15

their wit and pop culture knowledge at the NBA.

0:18

They'll cover the biggest storylines in the league

0:20

by handing out six pop culture

0:22

themed trophies for six basketball-related

0:25

activities. Some of my favorites are

0:28

the Ryan Gosling in Drive trophy,

0:30

which is given out to a player or team

0:32

that did something incredibly cool that week, or

0:35

the Walter White Tread Lightly

0:37

trophy, which is given out to a player or

0:39

team approaching dicey territory,

0:41

and many more. I'm about to play a clip

0:44

from the newly debuted Six Trophies podcast.

0:46

And while you're listening, be sure to follow Six

0:48

Trophies on the Wondery app or wherever

0:51

1:04

Next trophy, the Lauryn Hill, you might win

1:07

some, but you just lost one trophy. Give it out to whoever

1:09

it is who had the worst performance of the week. And

1:12

listen, we originally recorded this Monday

1:14

morning.

1:15

We had a whole different thing

1:17

here, a whole different setup.

1:19

But then Monday evening, under

1:21

the dark of night, 2

1:23

a.m. Eastern Standard Time, Wojenheimer.

1:27

Zuri, can you give me some

1:29

big bomb noises? Maybe

1:35

some of those old time, dee dee dee dee

1:37

dee dee dee dee, the news alert. Two

1:40

o'clock in the morning,

1:41

James Harden gets traded to the

1:43

Clippers. The Clippers get James

1:46

Harden, PJ Tucker, and Phillip

1:48

Petrusev. Is that how you say his name? Petrusev, yeah.

1:51

The Sixers get Nicholas Batum, Marcus

1:54

Morris, Robert Covington, KJ Martin,

1:56

and some draft picks. Bunch of picks.

1:58

They win the trophy. this

2:00

week both sides the Sixers

2:03

and the Clippers this is the rare trade Jason

2:05

the rare trade where both teams

2:07

come out of it and they're like yeah all

2:09

right we both got worse

2:12

here with I

2:15

disagree first of all I just want to

2:17

I just want to note

2:17

something the Clippers love to do stuff

2:20

late Steve bomber total

2:22

weirdo I just picture him sitting in the

2:24

dark at like 1 a.m. and then

2:26

he like texts his front office

2:28

like when they did the Tobias

2:35

Harris deal also announced at 2 a.m.

2:37

just real weirdo stuff out of the Clippers that

2:40

said I think the Sixers got better by

2:42

subtraction yes James Harden

2:45

when he's flowing

2:47

during the regular season is I

2:50

think you'd say it's

2:50

like a better player than Tyrese Maxie

2:53

and certainly is one of the greatest

2:55

offensive players in recently history

2:58

and we history that

3:00

said the vibes

3:02

were bad you know you have

3:06

a guy who's openly feuding

3:08

with the GM GM's not going anywhere

3:11

Joel Embiid is watching his window slowly

3:13

close Tyrese Maxie and

3:16

I don't know if there's been more on a

3:19

young player's shoulders than the

3:21

stuff that's currently weighing down Tyrese

3:24

Maxie we've

3:26

ever seen but he is it's

3:28

like the whole reason

3:31

they're doing this trade now is that they're

3:33

looking at Tyrese Maxie and they're going wait I think

3:35

this

3:35

guy's a star yeah I think he might be

3:38

a star

3:38

yeah like he's giving us a double-digit

3:41

scoring performances plus rebounding

3:43

plus the assists he's not a great defender but

3:45

neither was James and

3:48

he's got that playoff edge

3:51

that James Harden has never displayed

3:53

he's got that little bit of like I want to show you

3:55

who I am and I think they made a bet

3:58

that whatever they're doing

5:59

starts to shake, you

6:01

know what I mean? Like that's who's walking into the Clippers

6:04

and the Sixers are losing a former

6:06

league MVP, a three time

6:08

scoring champion. Like one

6:10

of the great offensive basketball players

6:13

ever, even if, even if you start to argue

6:16

like, sure, but he hacked basketball.

6:19

Okay. He did, but it was incredible

6:22

to watch and it was very effective

6:25

during the regular season anyway. Like this feels,

6:27

I don't know. It feels like, it feels

6:29

like they both lost here. So they both get the trophy.

6:33
