1:10

We will get to Tony's top

1:12

five observations from the football

1:14

weekend in a second, but Billy

1:18

Have you been mocking Tony

1:21

for missing a lot of work because

1:23

he's got a grotesquely sprained

1:26

ankle and has been hoppling around

1:28

on crutches in a way that makes me feel

1:30

for him because life getting harder

1:32

on crutches, it's it's an

1:34

inconvenience that is a

1:36

pretty large suffering on

1:38

the injury scale, not being able

1:40

to go to the bathroom without getting on crutches.

1:43

I

1:43

think I've been fairly supportive of him

1:46

thus far. Like, I'll check-in

1:48

occasionally, see how You said on Mystery

1:50

Creek that I had a sprained ankle and missed a week

1:52

and that my ankle hurt, quote unquote.

1:55

That's what you said to me. I'm mystery Oh, no. I'm And then

1:57

I created you. You're soft. Yeah. That's what

1:59

it was. And

1:59

I was soft. My bad. Yeah.

2:03

I'm just I'm just because he described he described

2:05

the situation and I asked him what was going

2:07

on with his ankle because I I've sprayed

2:09

ankles multiple times. They not sprayed an

2:11

ankle like this, Billy. Oh, okay. I was

2:13

real I can guarantee you. you've sprayed my ankles

2:15

multiple times. nice,

2:19

bravely. I

2:21

had to wear a bracelet. I had to do all these things.

2:23

Right? So I can I his

2:25

pain, I have very bad ankles. They still give

2:27

up me because they haven't recovered, you

2:29

know, fully therapy. So okay.

2:33

So I asked him, like, what what

2:35

is the recovery time on this? And he said,

2:37

I'm not gonna be the same for twelve weeks.

2:39

And I'm that is absurd. Like, twelve

2:41

weeks is way too Sorry. The doctor

2:43

told me, hey, you've got three weeks in

2:45

a boot and then you've got six to eight weeks of

2:47

recovery therapy. So what if you do that

2:50

math, you let me know how much that is. In the conversation,

2:52

he said it was a twelve week recovery and then

2:54

juju told us of a time that he almost

2:56

drowned and almost died because he

2:58

was destroyed by ways while he

3:00

was boogie boarding. He climbed out

3:03

of the ocean on the rocks that were on

3:05

the on the jetty or whatever. He was

3:07

bleeding from his hands and his feet.

3:09

He it was really bad. He was all cut

3:11

up from the barnacles and everything that was on the

3:13

rocks. and that he was walking out, covered

3:15

in blood. Everyone was looking at him as he almost

3:17

died. And I said, well, what was the recovery

3:20

of time on that? And he said three weeks ago,

3:22

Tony, see. Okay. Let me explain to you,

3:24

Billy. Let me explain

3:26

2 to you, Billy. Now that you got that out of the system,

3:28

out of your 2. So when you cut your

3:30

hands -- Yeah. -- the skin heals

3:32

quicker. When you tear ligaments in

3:34

your ankle and you can't walk, it takes

3:36

longer for them to heal. You got me?

3:38

So maybe that's why it's twelve weeks instead

3:41

of three weeks. Billy, are you up still

3:43

a mattress? that Tony missed too many

3:45

days of work. How many days of work? Did you

3:47

accuse him of missing too much

3:49

time around here. No. I mean,

3:51

here the attendance policy is very lax.

3:53

I wouldn't say anything to him. Math

3:56

for you. Are you ready? Oh, boy. The math is,

3:59

I missed one day less than you did last

4:01

week. So

4:04

there's that. We'll

4:06

get to Tony's top five. All

4:08

of this is to say that I'm worried about him

4:10

and I've checked on him multiple times

4:12

and seen how he's doing. I take

4:14

him to knock stuff off the desk today.

4:17

I just sent me Walk by the walk

4:19

by the desk and knock stuff off with your krona.

4:21

That was look, if we're gonna make

4:23

that public, like, I thought this was an NBA

4:25

locker room and we weren't gonna be playing stuff

4:27

out. I'm sure. what I was saying

4:29

to him is because I I did say that

4:31

I thought that he was soft before and I see that

4:33

he's struggling today. And when he

4:35

was coming in, he was trying to get by Roy with you

4:37

know, very late to move out of his way, just kinda

4:39

letting him struggle there. oddly

4:41

around. And I said what

4:43

you should do, Tony, honestly, so that

4:45

people can see how difficult this is you should

4:47

just start knocking a bunch of stuff over. And

4:49

then people will be like, dude, you shouldn't be coming

4:51

in here. Like, you're clearly struggling. And

4:53

then we were me and I mean, we're telling you gotta

4:55

take it to a level where you're not knocking down things

4:58

comically that you'd have no reason to

5:00

knock down. And I told them you should go across the hall,

5:02

just start knocking all the pens

5:04

off the shelf that's almost by the ceilings. Some

5:06

people could see how difficult it is. Because I

5:08

care about the shoes and the and

5:10

the purple foot and the brace

5:12

isn't enough to show people that I'm struggling. I have to

5:14

knock off pants from the top show the struggle

5:16

today. Wow. Well, I'm just asking. Show the struggle,

5:18

Tony. That's what he's saying. Mhmm. To show the Stugotz.

5:21

You you gotta go, oh, no. No. No.

5:25

and it loud noises. Yeah. Failing. Failing.

5:27

Failing. No. It's all. That's all.

5:30

Yeah. Gotcha. Like James Harden. he

5:32

actually gets pals. He's not people

5:34

call him a flubber. He's getting contact. It's

5:36

just he's just telling me a little bit more. telling

5:38

it. Yeah. Hold on. Did this happen to you 2 this

5:40

happened playing basketball. Did this happen on a foul

5:42

call you did? Yeah. They didn't call the foul. Yeah.

5:44

Actually, this is all just like an elaborate flop

5:46

on your on your No. No. It was not a flop. Trust

5:48

me, it was not a flop. It was A pass

5:50

got sent out to the wing. I shot a three.

5:52

Dusazaputuli had me stepped into my shot,

5:54

didn't let me land. I fully snapped my ankle from

5:56

the from the sidelines. You could have heard

5:58

No. You could have heard

5:59

the pop from my ankles. Snap on it.

6:02

I thought somebody shot me from behind. I was like, oh my

6:04

god. Somebody shot me in the middle of the game. I can't

6:06

believe this. Potruvia is great

6:08

as a verb. We all

6:14

know what he mean. We all know what he mean. We do know what he mean. That's

6:16

so bad. Exactly right. meet

6:19

the shop, by the way. My gosh.

6:21

You did. Right. He did that. So

6:23

it's all worth it. I I believe

6:25

I told him if you must know what I actually

6:27

said, I told him Brian Robinson will have

6:29

missed less time than you have.

6:33

You also just hit him with I I

6:35

was a real athlete. You really bared

6:37

your teeth on that one. I'd never say such

6:39

a thing, man. Mike

6:41

Brian I mean, I I'd like some

6:43

context on what Mike Ryan

6:45

is saying that right under our

6:48

noses, we are all sleeping

6:50

as, you know, I've talked

6:52

before about when

6:54

greatness makes an appearance in the

6:57

cruelty of our times where

6:59

the commercials make

7:01

Chris Whittingham think that Michael

7:03

Jordan never made a mistake on a basketball

7:06

court because he did it. You're playing

7:08

against somebody who

7:10

is a ghost and a legacy and

7:12

a commercial that's been running for

7:14

thirty years, Mike Bryant

7:16

is mystified. And I

7:18

think I am too on we're

7:21

celebrating Steph Curry plenty

7:24

as a guy who doesn't have

7:26

precedent. Wait. We

7:27

don't do it as much with Yanes. We

7:29

don't do when you're seeing Shrek

7:32

Shrek, he's playing like Shrek.

7:34

does it from the three point line

7:37

and we're kinda sleeping on

7:39

it because he's only got one championship. Well,

7:41

that's exactly why we're sleeping on it.

7:43

Steph has four. He's got, you know,

7:45

a finals MVP now. He's

7:47

ran out the reservoir. playing with

7:49

Middleton like he's So I

7:51

understand that. I love Johannes, and I understand

7:54

what Mike is saying, but there's a reason

7:56

that we're focused on stuff. He's He's

7:58

getting closer and closer to the end.

7:59

He just won a title. He's the Sportsman

8:02

of the Year. He's had a great

8:04

career, but we can concentrate on multiple

8:06

names in that sport certain.

8:08

Like, he's not in that class. He's not

8:10

discussed as much as Steph or LeBron is.

8:12

And I'm saying, right under

8:14

us, there is potentially a

8:16

mount rush more talent right now that's

8:18

doing it on both ends of the court. Right now, he's

8:20

a second leading score in the league. and

8:22

he did in an era where everyone

8:24

was forming the super teams in big

8:26

markets, he did the

8:28

lovable thing where he he went

8:30

through the suffering with his small market

8:32

team. He got to the top of the mountain. He did it

8:34

with a running mate in Chris Middleton that

8:37

won't

8:37

ring throughout time.

8:40

He's

8:40

got this engaging personality. I'm

8:42

I'm connected. won't be pippin.

8:44

No. I'm I'm really confused as

8:46

to why he's not

8:48

discussed

8:48

as much. I think we've reached a

8:51

point where one ring

8:53

is almost as much of an

8:55

indictment as no rings. and and

8:57

Aaron Rogers is going through that.

8:59

If you have achieved hall of

9:01

fame all time greatness, but

9:03

you only have one ring, I

9:05

think it it it's an indictment.

9:07

And with Janice, when he wins

9:09

that second championship, everything's gonna

9:11

be okay. But are we not doing any of what

9:13

like, it it'd be fair the last twelve years

9:15

to 2, one guy meeting a Super Team,

9:17

that may dirk someone for all time.

9:19

Like, when you play in the Super Team era

9:21

and your guy who's winning a

9:23

title, against Super teams.

9:26

But you don't

9:26

think Johannes is is considered

9:29

an all timer yet because I do. He's

9:31

twenty eight years old. And if and to

9:33

Greg's point, Dan, If he wins a second,

9:35

God forbid a third, fourth, and fifth,

9:37

he'll be celebrated the way we're celebrating

9:39

Steph Curry right now. I mean, he

9:41

will. But Steph Curry also has

9:43

likable attached to

9:45

him. And I'm while

9:47

that is a way to describe Johannes,

9:50

it's not It's not a driving

9:52

narrative around him and I'm also kinda

9:54

confused by that because Steph on the court

9:56

is incredibly cocky. He

9:58

kinda has the nice narrative kinda

10:00

painted around him, where Jonas

10:02

is lovable,

10:03

gives great quotes. This is a a

10:06

great quote that he gave about staying

10:08

humble. It's on the court because there's a

10:10

weakness in his game and look how endearing he is

10:12

about it. Can I be handsome,

10:14

beautiful kids, beautiful wife,

10:16

great family, great see me. Great coach

10:18

stuff. Pain.

10:20

So bloody.

10:22

I cannot have everything in. Right? I

10:24

cannot make three 2. has to keep me

10:27

humble. That's it. Basically, can I make

10:29

threes? So can't 2?

10:31

humble with my god. Without

10:33

the name of the pink We both Doug

10:35

and O'Bibre, Eurostep, had stay

10:38

humble somehow. He's

10:40

adorable. I

10:43

mean, your thoughts on historically

10:47

where we're gonna end up

10:49

putting this guy when he's done

10:51

playing. Turns twenty eight, today.

10:53

Alright. So in terms of the the comparisons,

10:55

I think there's something that you

10:57

guys

10:57

might be forgetting. Is that Steph went

10:59

to that point where people said he wasn't that

11:01

good? what

11:02

after he'd won a championship. Oscar

11:05

Robertson

11:05

was asked as he's the greatest shooter. He's like,

11:07

no. I played with Bucky

11:10

Duckerson or some name from the fifties. Yeah. And

11:12

he was a pretty good shooter too.

11:14

That's what people were saying about Steph Curry.

11:16

Buckey buckets. So

11:20

so this is all

11:22

part of the journey. Michael

11:24

Jordan, I I I've told this story before,

11:26

one of my favorite NBA on NBC

11:28

intros was from a game in, like,

11:30

nineteen ninety where they

11:32

say they basically go, oh,

11:34

you know, Ernie Banks.

11:36

Mister Cub never went to a world series,

11:38

and BobLinear never won an NBA

11:40

championship, but OG Simpson rushed for seven million

11:42

yards, but never played a suitable Michael

11:44

Jordan, is he really that good? Mark

11:47

Albert's asking this question. I'm like, how

11:49

crazy does that sound now? People

11:51

said, shot was overrated. and

11:53

lazy and never was gonna do anything. Right?

11:56

This is the right of passage in our league.

11:58

Your greatness. And then, like, wow, you guys

12:00

really great. And then that's something that it was

12:02

either great. and this until

12:04

at some point it becomes undeniable. So

12:06

there's that part of it. The other part

12:08

of it in which Mike might be

12:10

right, I've I've posited this theory

12:12

way back when remember the Harden

12:15

versus Johannes, MVP race,

12:17

and

12:17

and Eonas

12:18

won MVP, but then the Players Association

12:21

remember they had their own Batard show for, like, two

12:23

minutes because they thought, oh, yeah. We'll

12:25

show them and then they realized nobody votes. That's

12:27

why you can't have a a player's association

12:30

thing. That

12:30

was pretty Yeah.

12:32

Shout out to you too. Well, what flew out of

12:34

your mouth Was that a piece of food, or is that a spit

12:36

bubble? That's a spit bubble. I was just a pot.

12:38

I was excited. You're mad. You

12:41

mentioned you mentioned right of passage. Oh, wait. Hold

12:43

on a minute. Let me finish this point. and the

12:45

and the players voted for Harden

12:47

as if to 2, it's not

12:49

honest. And at the time, one of

12:51

my theories was there

12:53

is an undercurrent of xenophobia

12:56

when it comes to basketball, which is if

12:58

you came up playing AAU and I saw you every

13:00

single time since we were twelve years old, all the way up

13:02

to here, then you're quackin' vouch for

13:04

you. But this guy just got here from

13:06

Greece and he just goes and he just big

13:08

in dunks. That is a real

13:10

thing. especially someone who

13:12

presents in their second language -- Yes. -- as

13:14

well. Was Zach Harper brought this

13:16

up recently talking about Rudy Gobert?

13:18

How is someone with as many individual

13:20

accomplishments as this guy? One of the

13:22

most reviled within the

13:24

NBA player community players

13:26

out there. And again, like,

13:28

part of it is, Rudy doesn't do himself

13:30

any favors, and part of it is their

13:32

is an undercurrent of xenophobia. Like,

13:35

if you didn't come from here

13:37

playing the way we all came up,

13:39

then

13:39

you are not as good. And anyone who says

13:42

you're good, just hyping you up because you're from

13:44

somewhere else. But let me ask in the

13:46

context of the time because I

13:48

think it matters when we

13:50

do the appraisals on the all

13:52

timers while it's

13:54

happening. Johannes doesn't buy

13:56

anything that he's going

13:58

at the time against

14:00

two other unprecedented freak

14:04

shows of basketball in LeBron

14:06

and Steph Curry and

14:08

they team up with Durant or

14:11

they team up with Dwayne Wade

14:13

and that's what he's Stugotz to go through

14:15

in order to get the championships. It's

14:17

not it's it's everybody

14:19

was going against Michael Jordan, and he

14:21

was hogging them it's not just

14:23

that Jonas is a player who has very little

14:26

precedent. It's that there are two other players of the

14:28

time that there is no

14:30

precedent for how they play basketball. and

14:32

they also teamed up with

14:34

with other guys, and that's what he's gotta

14:36

go through. Well, I think when we talk

14:38

about Johannes, He didn't

14:41

go through LeBron. He

14:43

didn't go through Steph Curry. He

14:45

barely went through Durant. He barely went

14:47

through Durant. And

14:48

that's his one championship. And by the way, again,

14:50

let's go back to May

14:53

of twenty twenty one. And

14:56

what we used to say about Ionis, and the

14:58

Bucks, and their chances of of being

15:00

successful. And Bud. Right?

15:02

Like, there's a lot

15:04

that was quelled

15:06

by

15:07

by that championship, but it's still

15:10

you're you're bringing up the point of these other guys,

15:12

but he hadn't had to face either

15:14

of them. I think I think Kawhi Leonard

15:16

earned all that credit that you were talking about.

15:18

Having beaten LeBron with

15:20

the

15:20

Spurs and was better than him, and

15:22

that team schooled them in the finals. And

15:24

then having beaten the Golden State Warriors out

15:26

with Toronto. The one Toronto got him

15:29

everything. Correct. Right. like, all

15:31

this credit that, frankly, the the rest of his

15:33

career, what's happened in the the rest of the time

15:35

in Los Angeles, there have been other moments in

15:37

Kawhi's career. You can easily question, but you

15:39

sort of always go back to well, he did

15:41

that in those two moments, and so he has all

15:43

this credit in the bank despite having

15:45

absolutely no personality. But there is something to be

15:47

said to Mike's earlier point about

15:49

doing it in an age where the Braun is

15:51

trying to figure 2 know, he's going team to

15:53

team trying to figure out the right pieces. Who

15:55

do I win a championship with? The Rams

15:57

doing the same thing? Kyrie's

15:59

doing the same thing? Here's a guy

16:01

drafted by Milwaukee, state

16:03

put, it with Chris Middleton,

16:05

won it in a small market for that

16:07

city. You know what? My mind,

16:09

you

16:09

get two titles. In my personal

16:11

retrial campaign, Jan is

16:13

earning one his second title.

16:16

Yes. As many as Kauai. Yes.

16:19

Kawai has two

16:21

titles. Yep. Kawai has the one where

16:23

he's responsible for doing it all by

16:25

himself -- Right. -- had a memorable

16:27

shot. Kawai His

16:29

legacy now is even

16:31

with Johannes because you have announced

16:33

two

16:33

titles for Johannes based

16:36

on one title.

16:36

Yeah. Kawaiya's four, by the way,

16:38

but we'll talk about that another title.

16:45

I don't know how we do this

16:47

with. Guy

16:49

is reason for the winning

16:51

I

16:52

when I think of Kawhi Leonard, I'm

16:55

comfortable saying that Johannes was reason for the

16:57

winning. They don't win it without him. Yeah. Do

16:59

on one leg. Remember, it was like We

17:01

all thought he was done for the year.

17:03

And by the end of the series, he's

17:06

dropping fifty and twenty -- The injury

17:08

solved his free throw issues. --

17:11

I'm asking you guys, I guess, if

17:13

you give Kawhi for the spray give him

17:15

credit for the Spurs titles.

17:17

Like, he gets the Yeah. If LeBron if

17:19

LeBron looks the scores table

17:21

sees you checking in, says,

17:24

shit. then then that's a

17:26

second title. That should be enough to put you in

17:28

the hall of fame. I think if for anyone gets

17:30

into that hall. So so instead of, like, Kawhi

17:32

a picture of Kawhi Leonard, it just a picture

17:34

of LeBron saying that. Just a picture of

17:37

LeBron saying shit the video is his bust in the

17:39

of fame. Dan Dan makes an awesome

17:42

joke we all laugh and Stuttgart takes an opportunity

17:44

to take a pot shot at the NBA or the basketball

17:46

fan. I'm tired of that whole. Yeah. He's

17:48

very tired of that whole fame for a

17:50

while. Yeah. There's like forty five people

17:52

inducted every year. Right. Through God's

17:54

rarely misses a chance to play the

17:56

hits. Like, if someone mentions the

17:58

Hall of Fame, he doesn't have another

18:00

thought after the one

18:02

overrated all of fame. Everyone gets

18:04

it. It's the rubber hammer on

18:06

his knees. he must say it. He

18:08

can't say it. Anytime, anyone is saying

18:10

it anywhere, overrated

18:12

all the faith. Tony, you ready to

18:14

do your top five with the with the best music

18:16

we have for a segment around here. Alright,

18:18

Daniel. Alright. Let's

18:20

do it.

18:23

I

18:24

wanna add something

18:26

by the way as I was sitting on the couch

18:29

watching the games this weekend with my

18:31

ankle throbbing and certain

18:33

parts you know, hurting that I didn't think it hurt.

18:35

I thought of

18:37

I thought of the time where somebody

18:39

would have an ankle injury like this and then

18:41

the next week play. like if it was all good

18:43

and I'm looking down like somebody in the NFL has had to

18:45

have had this kind of injury and played the next week.

18:47

Tough people. Tough people for sure. Not you

18:49

because you got you were hospitalized by an onion. And

18:52

then you also you also got a sad

18:54

day for protein shake, if I remember

18:56

correctly. Right? almost

18:58

killed. That almost killed. Yeah. The protein shake

19:00

almost told me the the professional weight lifters

19:02

said you're drinking way too much protein. And

19:04

it damaged it damaged my kid. Right.

19:06

Damaged your kidneys. Okay. It's a protein check. Got you. Okay.

19:08

Yeah. But I was just thinking about that. How man,

19:10

these guys are tough. I

19:12

not that tough because I couldn't walk to the bathroom.

19:14

I couldn't have pretzels for lunch

19:16

three days. Anyways, number five. Here

19:18

come the cowboys. Oh. Really?

19:22

Here come the

19:24

cowboys. A thirty three point fourth

19:26

quarter that buried Jeff Batard. Unfortunately

19:29

for Jeff Saturday too. Got a lot of a lot of

19:31

questions he's gotta answer. Number

19:34

four, you guys may not like this

19:36

one. But you know what? John

19:38

Walford has some spunk. Oh,

19:40

really? some Splunk. Yeah. It's

19:43

got some Splunk. Yeah. John Wamford's

19:45

got some Splunk. The kids I thought he

19:47

went through that Splunk to the 2. Working

19:51

through it is not my point. My point is

19:53

he's got the spot. He's a tough

19:55

kid. Is it not weird to all of you

19:57

to see a quarterback that small.

19:59

Yes. It doesn't seem to have any arms trained

20:01

him and party for the same

20:04

guy. Number three.

20:06

Number three. Funny that Christmas

20:08

Chris, 2 he comes to mention that. Purdy,

20:10

pretty pretty good? No.

20:12

Oh, no. I mean,

20:14

come on. Come on. Come

20:17

on. Thirty. Pretty

20:19

large. Great boy. Alright. Purdy large

20:21

boy. Number two, pretty

20:23

good. Wait. What was three? It's pretty, pretty,

20:25

pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.

20:27

Very good. mean, you can't come in

20:29

with no with no, you know, first team

20:31

reps and all of a sudden beat the dolphins like that.

20:33

Pretty good. Pretty good. Number, you

20:35

guys are gonna keep being fooled by this. Right? Every

20:37

time a quarterback plays, hey, Cooper Rush, they can

20:39

win with him. Like, it's gonna be it's gonna be it's

20:41

gonna happen. When they play for

20:43

Kyle Shadowhead. a

20:45

quarterback. III remember I think it was a Tony making

20:47

Davis Mills arguments for a while. A

20:49

couple years ago. Yeah. Davis Mills. A couple

20:52

weeks. He wasn't back no. It wasn't a couple weeks because

20:54

a couple years I said he wasn't bad. Right.

20:56

He wasn't Billy, what are you laughing at?

20:58

Now they laughed at him. Tony knocked over all his

21:00

crutches. Like, his crutches. Wait a sec.

21:06

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

21:09

Number two, the

21:12

tie. as my mentor

21:14

stood up and said, the tie.

21:17

You always need a giant

21:19

versus commies tie somewhere in

21:21

the mix. right. And number one,

21:23

Tony's weekend football observations. Dan, this

21:25

is unfortunate because no matter who's

21:27

playing QB, For the

21:29

chargers, they will always be down

21:31

seven with the length of the field to go

21:33

with no time out to

21:35

whatsoever. Always.

21:37

I didn't know the the the throw that

21:39

Justin Herbert did to to Keene and

21:41

Allen on that rollout was incredible.

21:44

It is. It's easy to see how people

21:46

fall in love one play at a time with

21:48

that guy just having a monster arm.

21:51

But there was lots of 2 all the time. with five seconds left, he throws it to

21:53

Deandre Carter at the forty seven, and

21:55

they he doesn't go out and bounce the games over. You

21:57

know, six and six? We're losing

21:59

record at home all the time, I think. Yeah.

22:01

overrated. Just like the

22:03

basketball Hall of Fame. Are

22:06

you guys ready to do the

22:08

funniest thing from the sports weekend?

22:11

we have crammed so many -- Wow.

22:13

-- so many landmark

22:15

bits into today's show. Is

22:18

everyone ready to

22:18

do funniest thing from the sports weekend.

22:21

Hey, people. Tell

22:23

us what in the sportman. You laugh

22:25

hard this weekend. and this

22:27

is said they would go, what make you laugh this weekend?

22:33

Tony, let's

22:33

start off with you.

22:36

Dan, the funniest thing for the sports weekend to me, obviously,

22:38

I wasn't here yesterday, so I wasn't able to 2 in

22:40

the glory of Mike Tomlin. I don't know if we have that

22:42

sound somewhere. Yeah. We played it yesterday. It

22:44

is good sound and it's good choice by

22:46

you. Did you see the sound coding? I

22:48

did not. No. Okay. This is a

22:50

fan. I don't know whether it's pregame

22:53

time Tony, do you know what doesn't really matter? I think it was half time.

22:55

He was going into the locker 2 at halftime. Tony

22:57

so Mike Tomlin isn't here

22:59

to suffer fools, and somebody

23:02

just shouted something benign at him

23:04

and he didn't like being

23:06

interrupted. Go for the win. Let's go for the

23:08

win now. Man,

23:10

I'm bleeping working as somebody

23:12

just says just trying to be friendly. It's not

23:15

like meeting witty outside the bathroom and

23:17

being like, hey, I witty

23:19

shitting, fancy ladder shitting.

23:21

It's just go get them

23:23

coach, good game. Go get them. I

23:25

went out. I'm working.

23:28

I'm bleeping working. Roy,

23:30

what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?

23:32

The Giants and commander's

23:34

tie. Yeah. Big tie. Ties

23:35

are ties are funny. Yeah. And

23:38

fun. It it It does not

23:40

get old to me. Watching

23:42

two football coaches meander around

23:44

the field after a tie confused about

23:46

how to feel great.

23:49

And also, like, the sort of whenever

23:51

people talk about soccer, it's like a bad stick and

23:53

end in a tie. Like, this is

23:55

very American feeling and everyone

23:58

field that's like this can't end like

23:59

this, but Brian Daybell is like, well, it might be

24:02

smart for ten like this because otherwise I might be giving

24:04

away a victory and the tie is

24:06

better than the loss. If the

24:08

season ended today, day ball would be in the

24:10

playoffs because of that time. That was

24:12

a big time for them. It really was.

24:14

But I love a good point. It's a solid result, but

24:16

it's football, cavemen confused

24:19

about how to feel in a way that you

24:21

can read on their bodies. Like, that

24:23

was an unsatisfying week

24:25

I believe REVERSE walking around by

24:27

shaking his hand. Right. Right. What do you do?

24:29

It's odd. I honestly think Don't

24:32

you graduate I honestly think

24:34

that most of them would prefer the

24:36

feeling of either break my

24:38

heart or let me feel jubilation.

24:40

Don't have me confused after the

24:42

work I just put in for a week where

24:44

everyone's ankle looks like Tony's, and

24:46

I have to be unsatisfied

24:49

because there

24:49

is no result Yeah. And what's the

24:51

post game locker room like? You know, when you go

24:53

in after a tie, nobody's celebrating, nobody's

24:56

really that down. There's like a bunch of zombies

24:58

It depends on how you think you're right for the

25:01

most part, but it it depends on who

25:03

the time benefits. You know, the

25:05

giants, I guarantee you felt like they won

25:07

that game. because it

25:08

benefited that I think there's just a lot

25:10

of unsatisfied milling about being in

25:12

the lock right now. Yeah.

25:14

The ancient Greek mythology

25:16

when people died, they would put these coins in

25:19

their mouth to take them down to the river

25:21

sticks to pay the toll so they could

25:23

go to either have dinner hell

25:25

wherever they were gone. But for poor people who

25:27

didn't have enough to add the coin,

25:29

these souls are damned to

25:31

purgatory. Just standing on the banks of the

25:33

river sticks. saying, I wish I could

25:35

go there.

25:36

Gamma put it on the poll. Did

25:38

the commanders and

25:41

giants

25:41

wander on Sunday through Burger Tork

25:44

near the river stick.

25:48

I mean, What was the funniest

25:50

thing from the sports week at

25:52

Dintel? The four minutes of hope USA

25:54

had at this point of time. Oh my

25:56

god. Right. And that's the truth. You

25:58

don't understand. and how happy I was

26:00

because I knew I

26:02

knew people like Chris Whittingham and

26:04

Mike Ryan had this burst of

26:06

Maybe this could be it.

26:08

and then four minutes later, the

26:11

dead star destroyed their planet.

26:13

Billy, what was the funniest

26:16

thing?

26:16

Batard, during the Dr Pepper challenge, during the

26:19

SCC championship game, there was a tie. So they

26:21

went to a tie breaker, and then there was

26:23

another tie. So then they went 2, like, some tie

26:25

breaker from the day before to the side who

26:27

won the hundred thousand dollars scholarship.

26:29

And then Twitter said, no. No. No. That's not what

26:31

we're doing here. And doctor Pepper had to give two

26:33

hundred thousand dollars scholarships. Were

26:36

they both throwing footballs with both

26:39

hands? Yeah. That

26:39

seems to be the strategy in the Dr Pepper

26:42

Challenge. Don't throw the football the way. Yeah.

26:44

Most people throw It's dishonorable.

26:46

No. Really? Yes. I mean, it should

26:48

be against the rules. Really?

26:50

Right? I mean, you get a hundred

26:52

days. it's netting people a hundred

26:54

thousand dollars every

26:56

year. That is a

26:58

sellout. That's

27:00

a textbook definition to sell 2. I don't mind

27:02

looking like a fool. It's it's paying for

27:04

their call. In exchange for education.

27:06

Yeah. Who is the first person do the chess pass? That

27:08

was a legit bit of innovation because no one

27:11

has gone back to the normal throw. Even even

27:13

I imagine like back up quarterbacks.

27:16

would go to the Dr 2 and do the chess

27:19

pass. Whittingham, what was the funniest thing

27:21

from the sports weekend? Typically, Steve DeBurg is

27:23

done with college. Learning

27:27

that Josh Johnson is on his fourteenth

27:29

NFL team. It's great. Wow.

27:31

Really? all those -- Oh, okay. -- career.

27:33

Philip Rivers, Baker Mayfield, Carson

27:35

Wentz, and Matt Ryan all joining the

27:37

forty nineties this way. Did you say Andrew

27:40

Luck? Mike Ryan, what was the funniest thing I did not? I forgot

27:42

about him. Yokocha's

27:44

arms are bleeding again. They

27:46

always are. Yeah. This was a

27:49

pretty Big

27:49

time slice. That one's gonna reopen a lot. It

27:52

is strange that he's got these pasty

27:54

white arms that if I took them

27:56

off and just showed you them. They'd

27:59

look like legs.

28:00

I've got a theory. I've got a

28:02

theory as to why his arms are always bleeding.

28:04

He played water polo, growing

28:07

up. A lot of scar tissue. Get

28:09

scratched all the time in that sport. A lot of

28:11

scabs. Yeah. So I I just

28:13

think that You sneeze on them, but

28:15

a norm woman's gonna open up water polo

28:17

and immensely physical sport. That's very

28:19

much They're in the Olympics that they have the

28:21

camera under the water. They're beating that shit out of each

28:23

other underneath the surf the surface of the

28:25

water. I feel like Yankaj

28:27

is the guy in sports I would at least

28:29

wanna sneize on me if he couldn't get his hand in

28:31

front of his mouth. There is a

28:33

lot of shit coming out of there. But

28:35

but if he did sneeze on you,

28:37

rest assured someone in the nuggets are gonna would

28:39

call it. It's someone in the media. He just sneezed on Stuttgart.

28:44

Snitches. I

28:46

like seeing Yolked just walking

28:48

on the pool during water polo, just

28:50

walking on the floor of the pool.

28:52

not even that good of a workout for

28:55

him. Waste deep. Like like I

28:57

run waste deep. It doesn't swim.

28:59

It it just bounces off

29:01

of the north. advantage. Cody, what was the thing

29:03

from the sports weekend? I gotta go with Trevor

29:05

Lawrence throwing the ball away through the end

29:07

zone and accidentally drilling a

29:09

cameraman in the side of the head. Always

29:11

funny to me. Nothing personal

29:13

cameraman, but always funny.

29:15

Congrats what he got. Nick

29:17

Sabin, cold calling, trying to

29:20

get a playoff birth. I mean, called every

29:22

single television gentleman. calling

29:24

the network, calling the FCC.

29:27

just from landline. It

29:29

is. Do you think he felt pathetic?

29:32

No. I hope he

29:34

did. He ain't wrong. He ain't

29:36

wrong, Nick. Thank you. What do you mean

29:38

wrong? Alabama would beat

29:40

TCU by T Mobile. hundred

29:42

percent. We are again. My I'm sorry. In

29:44

fact, I think the winner of this playoff should

29:46

have to play Alabama afterwards. That's right.

29:48

How about that? That's a goodball. Yep.

29:51

and they'd lose. Just make

29:53

that the championship every year. I'm

29:55

you know what? I'm fine with that.

29:58

I'm totally fine with. You just call it the

29:59

Alabama bowl.

you do? Sports

31:46

probably. So he would just go around the

31:48

ballparks and just enjoy the site. Yeah. I

31:50

would just go to sporting events 2 I've actually

31:52

talked to Joe Pazniewski about this.

31:54

We we might be

31:58

eventually pitching something, some

31:59

kind of book project where we got a weird sporting

32:02

event all over the world and, like, write about them.

32:04

But I want I don't wanna go to a Super Bowl. I wanna go like,

32:06

the World Arts Championship. Oh,

32:08

that seems like. That's the good

32:10

stuff. Yeah. That's the good stuff.

32:11

Cricket. Oh,

32:13

yeah. Crooked. Test test Crooked

32:15

in Pakistan, darts in

32:17

England, a a

32:19

cabotoss in Scotland. Like

32:21

just do like, there's,

32:23

like, those wife carrying competitions

32:25

and, like, Armenia and stuff. Like, I

32:27

wanna go to the weirdest -- The slap competition

32:30

leading in Russia. -- Russia. Yeah. Yeah. And if

32:32

you can get out of Russia once it's

32:34

done. Yeah. I mean, congrats on

32:36

your

32:36

still in third gear Brazilian

32:39

team. Oh, completely. III

32:41

told the guys, it's like you've been watching

32:44

caveman, hit animals with

32:46

clubs, and eat them raw with their hands. And then all

32:48

of a sudden, you get a five

32:50

star restaurant with, like, women and spine

32:52

China and and They're

32:54

so they're

32:56

so it's the it's delightful

32:58

how cocky they are. I love how cocky

33:00

they are. They're just the they are

33:03

so

33:03

confident that they're the best team

33:05

that they they're just dancing after every goal. Like,

33:07

they they they have the They have the they have

33:09

the charisma though for, like, the opponent. Like,

33:11

if you're an opponent, you can't can

33:13

you get that mad? because it's not cockiness. It's that's

33:15

just the culture of, like, celebration

33:18

and partying and

33:20

and finding I mean, like, you've got you've

33:22

gone over good. They would have all

33:24

kinds of choreographed three dances after hours

33:26

ago. But I yes. I think obviously

33:28

that's true, but also they have

33:30

the confidence to

33:31

know that they can field an entire second

33:34

team that's better than most of the teams than the

33:36

tournaments. You know what? It's like Mike.

33:38

It's like you

33:40

know, a camera, but I was watching NBA game and my and my friend said,

33:42

oh man, these guys, they always hold the ball

33:44

to the buzzer. 2 Curry always

33:47

shoots it. always

33:47

shoots it no matter where he is on the floor of this time on

33:50

the clock. He'll let it fly. He said, yeah. He

33:52

can do that because he knows he can afford it. He

33:54

can do all that and social going from the

33:56

shot. Like, no. not even that shot. like he

33:58

knows all the other shots are going in. So

33:59

these heaves that

34:00

are detrimental to your field your

34:02

three point percentage for

34:05

him. It just brings him down from, like, forty

34:07

nine to forty four. No. I mean, did you see

34:09

the video the other day that Sports Illustrated put

34:11

out? No. That's that's

34:13

that's the greatest That was lame. That that was that sucks.

34:15

You know you know what it was? It was the

34:18

greatest demonstration of how great of a

34:20

shooter he is. to that they could put a

34:22

video

34:22

out like that and people were like, yeah, I believe it.

34:24

Who believe? No. But a lot of people believe

34:26

that you're an idiot. There are a lot of ideas.

34:29

know what it that's not shooting. That's that's just like he's

34:31

like throwing ninety foot that

34:34

you no one hits five in a row. So that's not

34:36

a demonstration of skill. But what

34:39

Wait. It's just so obviously fake.

34:42

Wait. It was fake. Wait. Hold on.

34:44

See what I thought?

34:47

Seriously. Like, a a outlet put that out.

34:49

Yes. I know. That's why it sucked. It

34:51

sucked because sports illustrated was complicit. That

34:54

was a that was like, those

34:56

viral videos were out like ten

34:58

years ago. No. They were out. Watch this

35:00

guy hit ten straight or

35:02

whatever. And it's like, oh, no. That's fake.

35:04

That's fake. And then Sports

35:06

Illustrated did it. We it looks like the

35:08

the true death of Sports Illustrated. There was a

35:10

a Powerade commercial, is it? A

35:12

Powerade commercial fifteen years

35:14

ago. Oh, Oh, yeah. You're a little behind me.

35:16

My my shirt is watching on YouTube TV or

35:18

something like that.

35:20

I'm just that you

35:22

might not have heard of me while you were doing that.

35:24

That's funny. Then we have the same

35:26

reaction in the twenty five seconds.

35:28

Oh, oh my god. That's that's

35:29

the world economy. You do you don't wanna be the you do

35:32

not wanna be the 2 defense for new scores

35:34

in the ongoing. Oh my god. Twenty

35:36

minutes into this. off.

35:38

But that how

35:39

am I getting your hand cut off?

35:41

Roy? Like, Morocco is is

35:43

Morocco is good. Morocco

35:46

is good. get more light today here. Roy. Okay. It would

35:48

be his foot. Come on. Yeah. That's

35:50

right. Right down from

35:52

the

35:52

the idea of america

35:54

ankle. Oh, it is it is. A

35:55

rare a rare moment where we can accuse

35:58

Roy of

35:59

racism. Hey. Morocco

36:04

is just happy to be here. They're Holy shit.

36:06

It is it's so funny though. Like, it

36:08

when

36:08

when people watch sports, other sports, do you make

36:10

as many involuntary noises as you do when

36:12

you watch soccer? Like, when I when I,

36:16

like, there is something even Stuttgart earlier, 2, in our headsets,

36:18

was like, oh my god. Yeah. Like, there

36:20

there there's something about the nature of the score.

36:22

I guess Huggies did like this.

36:24

Yeah. That's skimmed the of it? affirmative. possible. Like I

36:27

think I I think he was outside, though. That

36:29

shot is physically impossible. From

36:32

the from

36:34

the right side of the area to of

36:36

goal and nicked the outside of the post.

36:38

So Holland would've hit it. So

36:39

holland what ahead I

36:41

love the Sarabia. It's

36:44

my favorite thing of looking at the Spain lineup is the number

36:46

of times 2 get to

36:48

do are we about

36:50

to do something truly

36:52

stupid in

36:54

podcasting, which is live

36:56

record our reactions to a

36:58

pandemic. do that. That will be two hours

37:00

old by the time this airs. okay.

37:02

So we do have a break here because we've gone to commercial break at the end of the year.

37:05

2 go quick. Okay. So let let's do

37:07

let's do the start of the day.

37:09

Oh, we have a moment. Start

37:11

of the day. Start of the day.

37:14

Start of the day. Start

37:16

of the day. Start of

37:18

the day. It is a start of the

37:20

day. Start of the day.

37:22

Start of the day. It is

37:24

the start of the day.

37:26

Start of the day. finish

37:29

the start of

37:32

the day. Presented

37:39

by ZipRecruiter,

37:42

ZipRecruiter, ZipRecruiter, the smartest way

37:45

to hire Alright. Hey, Mina

37:47

Hasson. It's time for a start of

37:49

the day guessing game. Are you

37:51

ready? I'm ready. Which NBA

37:53

player has the

37:55

most

37:55

wins over the last ten

37:58

years? Is

37:59

it? Steph Curry.

38:00

steph curry Chris

38:02

Paul. Andrey Iguidala,

38:06

LeBron James, or

38:08

Jonas,

38:08

Valentine's,

38:10

or something that would lead me to believe, but

38:13

e is the correct answer. I'm

38:14

a You guys, I mean.

38:17

I'm gonna get

38:19

LeBron James. Whiting? Jonas

38:22

Valentine's. It's

38:22

none

38:23

of the

38:24

above. It was

38:26

a trick question.

38:29

Oh, you bet. According to 2 news,

38:31

the winningest NBA player in the last ten

38:33

years is Danny Green. Oh, that's

38:36

four ninety eight wins. I

38:38

knew that. and

38:39

I swear for the record did not bring this up and

38:40

just because Danny Green's team,

38:43

the Memphis grizzlies, defeated the

38:45

Miami Heat last night. without

38:48

John Miranda, by the way. Wait. It's also a side note that Danny Green's

38:50

a grizzly. Who knew that Danny Green was a grizzly?

38:52

Is he getting to a crew 2

38:56

here. The guy, like, he's not he's not his podcast.

38:58

It was it was ACL Like, in

39:00

order to accrue a win, he's gonna have to play

39:03

a minute. It's like a mini I believe you have to play in the 2.

39:05

So he didn't get for the first four hundred and

39:07

ninety ninth win yesterday. I believe. III

39:09

don't know for a fact. But

39:11

How about that Danny Green wins than than

39:14

LeBron, Steph? Clay Thompsons,

39:18

Diquodala, anybody you. James Harden, like everybody. He's the most waitingist player in the

39:20

NBA in the last ten years. He never plays on bad

39:22

teams. Every team he plays for

39:24

wins

39:24

a ton of games. there

39:27

was and there was a point in time when when he play he played for a team

39:29

who's gonna win

39:29

a championship. It was, like, the opposite of George Hill.

39:31

If you signed George

39:32

Hill, that means you definitely weren't gonna win

39:36

a championship. George held a final final piece of the

39:38

puzzle according to Stuttgart. Thank

39:40

you. I like that your

39:42

breakdown of that stat. I mean was Day

39:44

green. always

39:46

plays on winning teams. Like, yeah. That's that's how you that's how you do it.

39:48

That's the kind of the stat. Yeah. Bob, you bet the

39:50

wins. Lebron James doesn't always play on

39:52

winning teams, and that's something that I

39:56

forgot. I feel

39:56

it. I mean, LeBron is close, and they're

39:58

all close. I think Steph is, like,

40:00

fifteen months behind or something, which means

40:02

if he hadn't gotten or

40:05

the broad hadn't gotten hurt. problem is those names have had at

40:07

least a season where things went wrong, and

40:09

Danny Green has never had that season, at

40:11

least not for his teams. he's

40:13

had seasons going wrong, but Can we get back to the fact

40:16

that

40:16

the heat lost to the grizzlies without Jabiran?

40:20

No. I

40:20

mean, seriously, what what's happening

40:23

with them season. The offense, there's three and nine on the

40:25

road. They can't score on the road. There's three and

40:27

nine. They they scored ninety three points

40:29

last night. You know what it is? Tell me

40:31

I'm wrong. I mean,

40:33

It's like I

40:33

those two Celtics games 2 that

40:36

they split. I was watching those

40:37

games infuriated as you know because

40:40

I was It was texted me

40:42

so angry. And and

40:44

I went out a crazy rant on text with Dan,

40:46

where I was I just was losing my mind.

40:48

But, like, bam and Jimmy Butler just

40:50

hit shot after shot after shot after shot,

40:52

but then you up and they have twenty one

40:54

points because they're all two 2. The

40:56

bam it's ten shots and it seems

40:58

like he's dominating the game, but he's got

41:00

twenty points, which is good. But

41:03

like they're not when Strauss

41:05

and Hero aren't drilling threes, the team

41:07

just can't score enough points to win.

41:09

Is that a good analysis or a bad analysis? Yeah. I mean, they

41:11

they are they are heavily dependent on their three point attack. I

41:13

think the bigger thing is when they

41:16

go

41:16

away from running it

41:18

through BAM. I think BAM makes things happen. BAM gets

41:20

those guys open. BAM gets guys good shots.

41:22

And when

41:23

they don't, when it's Tallahiro, or

41:26

or Jimmy Butler, it's not quite

41:28

as effective or impactful. And I think

41:30

that's that's the thing. If you look at that what

41:32

makes that law so egregious is Memphis

41:36

was coming off a back to back

41:38

where they were traveling. They didn't play

41:40

a job. They didn't play a Darren Jackson, and obviously

41:42

doesn't have been out with an injury.

41:44

Miami

41:44

was sitting in Memphis waiting

41:46

for them and had everybody.

41:48

So

41:48

it's not just, hey, your loss

41:50

at Memphis usually is about John. Right?

41:54

It's like, all the travel, like, when Memphis

41:56

says, hey, by the way, we're playing it back to back, by the way,

41:58

John and Jared Jackson aren't

41:59

playing tomorrow.

42:03

they

42:03

are signaling we pretty

42:05

much conceded winning this game. I mean, like,

42:07

we wanna win the game. We're gonna try our best, but

42:09

if it comes

42:10

down to getting the best sense of winning this game or

42:12

getting our guys rest, we're choosing the rest.

42:14

So they're already saying tie one behind

42:16

my back. Alright. Let's

42:17

go and then you still lose

42:19

to that guy. That's

42:20

an embarrassing loss from Miami for sure. The

42:22

middle of that standings is

42:24

like in like from four to twelve in

42:26

2 east is all separate by

42:28

two games. The same thing in the west. Yep. Yeah. Three, like, three to Wait.

42:30

We're only twenty five games out of the season. Like, it's

42:32

not that shock. By the way By club. I

42:34

think, like, the the attention that

42:38

sports world is given to the World Cup in the NFL,

42:40

has allowed for the Los Angeles Lakers to

42:42

be a normal basketball team. I know that they've beaten

42:44

on a bunch of bad teams, but they've like

42:47

actually gotten to fix their basketball over the

42:49

course of the last two or three weeks. And

42:51

I feel like that's because, like, first

42:54

take

42:54

We love the loan. Yeah. Exactly.

42:56

We them alone to figure things out. You

42:58

want it was like it it was

43:00

threatening to blow up

43:01

when they moved Russ to

43:03

the bench. It was like, this could be it. This whole thing

43:05

could go supernova. And then and

43:08

then he was complaining and saying the claiming he

43:10

got injured because he was on the bench, which

43:12

was amazing. but then it turns out moving the rest of the bench was

43:13

a really good idea. And he

43:16

started playing a lot better, and the first units

43:18

started playing a lot better. And now

43:20

they're like, that they they put

43:22

up eighty points of the first half or something

43:24

against the Bucks the other night. Like Anthony

43:26

Davis is playing the Lakers. Anthony Davis

43:28

is playing ridiculously well, which I

43:30

imagine is the is the thing that's most driving this. Alright. So we're not gonna

43:33

do the terrible podcasting thing of watching

43:35

this morning. No. Oh, no.

43:37

You're so late. Oh.

43:40

You can do play by play

43:42

and stuff like that. So I'm getting

43:44

this earlier than YouTube. I'm in the same room. 2, no.

43:46

Because you're I'm a little You're you're looking

43:49

off direct TV and we're looking off for in house

43:51

feed. So Spain have hit the post with

43:53

their first

43:55

penalty. Morocco leads one one. My dad Rocco has made

43:57

the quarter finals once or the rat

44:00

up that at once in their life.

44:02

Yes. I think. I believe it was eighty six, so

44:04

when is

44:06

it? I mean is a low key football historian. Sounds right. It's it's

44:08

it's just the end of the day. the point.

44:10

No. They've never reached the quarter final

44:14

Morocco. Oh, okay. Nineteen eighty six, they reached the

44:16

round of sixteen. This is their second trip to

44:18

the round of sixteen. So it's

44:20

gonna be their my dad just

44:22

texted me. Are you watching two question

44:24

mark? Yes. I love

44:26

that. That's that's my favorite sports thing.

44:28

Like, because like, this random event that

44:30

it dropped. Yep. Right down the middle.

44:32

Right down the strike. So Mike I feel

44:34

I feel bad for making sure right now that he's he's

44:36

doing the thing that I frankly love to do to my friends, which is I'm watching on a

44:39

feed that's usually ahead because I use

44:41

an antenna. And and

44:44

Mike and so Mike is, like,

44:46

on a feed that's behind us. And so, you know,

44:48

I think I'm caught up now. So are you What

44:50

what are you There are you Morocco

44:52

just finished their second, and we're seeing reaction shots. So

44:54

so Mike, my dad has a theory. I'm with

44:57

you. My dad has a theory that when

44:59

you when you kick PK's, just

45:01

kick it right in the middle because everyone's always guessing and

45:04

jumping out of the way. If you go right down the

45:06

middle, you Particularly particularly with the fast

45:08

run up. If you do the slow run up and you

45:10

do the the jump thing, I I think I'll I have a theory too. Do you

45:12

wanna hear my theory?

45:14

Here's my theory. Hold on.

45:15

We'll watch this. Second, Spain kick. He's

45:17

talking. Oh, no.

45:20

Oh, wow. much ahead of us.

45:22

How did that happen? Hey. What's going on here? Oh. Oh, wow.

45:24

Wow. Yeah. Biggeries. Funeral

45:28

down. You finally, on are on the a upset. Rockin

45:30

fans than that. This would this would

45:32

put this would basically put

45:35

Portugal

45:35

through. Right? Like, of

45:38

defense. Stop, man. Stop, look at you.

45:40

Stop under his name.

45:42

Morocco man I've been great at this tournament.

45:44

Understood. Sterling. They can't

45:45

you can't do this. You

45:47

can't play defensive football for Here's my

45:49

theory about PKS. Listen to

45:51

this. Tell me Tell me I'm wrong.

45:53

Okay? keeper basically is

45:56

is coin flipping. They're they gotta choose

45:58

a side. They gotta dive to

45:59

one side. 2 not

46:02

start one step to

46:04

one side? Basically saying

46:05

That's what that could have to go

46:07

the other way. I know. Yeah. But it it and

46:09

it it almost worked until he got

46:11

-- Oh. -- crossed way. Totally crossed out, like, Chris

46:14

Cross. Big same.

46:16

Oh, nice. Oh.

46:18

Big save. He telegraphed it though. You could tell

46:20

by his hips. He telegraphed

46:22

it. That's how you tell by the

46:24

hips. This This is when

46:26

watching a sporting event at a sports bar is,

46:28

like, it's a bunch of people just got it.

46:30

See, it's a bunch of idiots. Yeah. I I

46:32
