1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.960
You're listening to the downbeat on ninety
seven to one the Freak. The song

2
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:12.199
reminds me of Guardians at the Galaxy
three. Want the great scenes? If

3
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:18.519
you want to see Dave Bautista,
just start dancing, hilarious. Happy Friday,

4
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:22.559
Metroplex. Did you like Guardians three? I loved it. I last

5
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:27.039
night, I was here to me
I this morning. I thought of JJ

6
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.559
handing out a five dumpling rating to
Dune two and if you missed it yesterday,

7
00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:34.719
I just want to repeat that a
few times, and I will between

8
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.920
now and Friday when the movie comes
out. But she saw it, and

9
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.240
we've never had a five dumpling rating
awarded. Did that? I'd give everything

10
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.560
everywhere, all at once and five. I don't think it was a five.

11
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:47.560
I'm just saying that. Mind that, if she ever likes a movie

12
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.240
more than doune Tune, the rating
system is flawed. Why are you the

13
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:59.240
way you are? Because it's common
knowledge more than one movie can be Yeah,

14
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.200
like just a side. She's a
wit, so we just cut off.

15
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.799
No, there can be one best. No, it's not a ranking,

16
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:11.560
it's a rating four eight and changed
it to a five. Gives you

17
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.920
the wiggle room to have a four
nine logic is completely screwed. So put

18
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.879
everyone into the Hall of Fame dancing. So every Rolling Stone review that gives

19
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:26.760
an album the rare five star review
means that there that no other album can

20
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:34.000
be can receive a five star rating. Yeah, that's ridiculous. It's not

21
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.560
a ranking, it's a rating.
It's a different word. They have different

22
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.239
means. In the sports card world, they have PSA and they grade cards

23
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.400
and sometimes they give it a PSA
ten. That means this card is perfect.

24
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.560
And they can get handed in another
card five seconds later and say,

25
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.159
p s A ten, this card's
perfect. Two things can be perfect.

26
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.599
Yeah, but those are just judging
that card off of condition. Well that's

27
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.680
what she's judging the movie off the
condition of the movie. It was perfect,

28
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.079
how much she liked it. Look, I brought it up because I'm

29
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.959
happy that she liked the movie so
much, and she's a fair critic and

30
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.080
she doesn't just throw these things out
flippingly, And she did yesterday and said

31
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.719
Doom two, which comes out next
Friday, which I recommend you visit an

32
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.719
Alamo draft house to watch. It's
a five dumpling great. Okay, it's

33
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.639
awesome. This is a day to
celebrate, not to do whatever it is

34
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.039
you do, Kevin. So she
watches I take my job very seriously,

35
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.520
Kevin. I know she does.
I know you do. But what if

36
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.960
you see Challengers starring Zendaia and the
other two guys, and you like it

37
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.599
more than Doom Tune and you give
it a five to one. If you

38
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.400
like it more than Doom too,
it deserves to be a five to one.

39
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.159
Not everything is equal. I'm sorry, it's just not when it comes

40
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.360
to grading things. When I read
clear the top movies at the end of

41
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:51.439
the year, that would tell you
what We'll realize then that Doom two should

42
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.360
have been a four to eight.
A long thank you. I'm so sorry.

43
00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.159
You know the center of the issues
on this morning show, JJ do,

44
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.240
and they're right there. Unfortunately,
I actually think most people are going

45
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:07.599
to agree with me. They're not. It's a different movie. Different movies

46
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.840
can be geez. I think it's
perfect. And you still haven't answered the

47
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:15.919
question why are you the way you
are? Just simple question. Nothing is

48
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:23.960
a ten, okay except Jesus,
oh my god. So if you go

49
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:29.439
to school and you have two kids
in the class that get a hundred on

50
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.479
their paper. Yeah, yeah,
I should have one of them got a

51
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.080
one oh two. Yeah, one
kid in class get one hundred. They're

52
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:40.280
taking a right and wrong answer to
you test. What if it's a subjective

53
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:45.919
creative writing class and it's not about
checking boxes or AI grades though, so

54
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:50.000
I don't really worry about it.
In the eighties, all right, Well,

55
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.680
our teachers will tell us they're not
reading all those essets. It's like

56
00:03:52.800 --> 00:04:00.879
arguing with a foot It is,
yeah, iPhone footcase, I talk over

57
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:08.000
that. I wish you knew how
much I loved you and how much I

58
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:13.000
take you seriously. It's things like
this comes the text pouring in like this,

59
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.400
looking at them, not one,
I don't see one. All I

60
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.920
see is a bunch of dudes that
crap their pants. That's resonated on good

61
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:29.040
lord, Kevin real tear down Turner
is up to his old tricks. Kevin

62
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.199
is way off base on this one. Kevin is a dumb ass. The

63
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:35.160
end. Those are the only three
texts that well, those are those are

64
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:43.160
all ticket listeners. If their ticket
listeners, how do they listen to us?

65
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:49.240
Five? Respect and love? I
hope you guys know how much I

66
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:53.319
like Mike and Danny. But I
don't understand why KT's on the show.

67
00:04:53.319 --> 00:05:02.040
I don't understand why those are It's
me, Kevin, You're an idiot.

68
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:11.199
Shut up perfect well, well said, okay, I'll read this, guys,

69
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.160
because he did it a week ago. He said I like Dune too,

70
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:23.920
Dune two chicks at the same time. He wrote it verbatim four days

71
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.360
ago, and then he did it
again. So there you go. Those

72
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.720
are my favorite lines from Office Space. He's sitting there with his long hair.

73
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.959
Yeah. If you had a million
dollars two jigs at the same time,

74
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.040
it's pretty wild, Like a million
dollars, you said, a million

75
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.000
dollars maybe things. So like last
week, John Oliver offered Clarence Thomas,

76
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.399
who's on the Supreme Court, a
million dollars on a huge win obago,

77
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:53.079
one million dollars a year until he
dies and a big ass winnebago if you

78
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.399
just quit the Supreme Court, he
did. Yeah, he's guys, you

79
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:59.199
have thirty days stirs, who is
oh okay, no, no, not

80
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.480
just face, but of those like, hey, the thirty days wrote up

81
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:11.439
the contract A million dollars until you
die and Winnie in the studios just to

82
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.839
leave Van dreams. I respect the
winnebego. Oh absolutely, Ben and I

83
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.839
are talking a lot about our Van
dreams. Never had Van dreams. No,

84
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:25.720
it's getting a van, yeah yeah, And I understand the cobby boy

85
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.079
and a big screen TV and a
wet bar. Yeah, Van dreams.

86
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.240
It's a it's a little apartment that
you can drive. And nine out of

87
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:39.160
ten people that buy one of those
things use it once and it turns into

88
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:45.279
a giant bowflex on wheels. Not
everything is just as clothes hitting on it.

89
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:49.240
Not vain. It's the pool table
of the outdoors. It is treadmill

90
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:55.120
of Oh it's not the upkeep on
those Oh my god. I believe that

91
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:59.240
can bring billiards back though with the
Secret Wizard. I'll explain to you guys

92
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:01.519
later. With that is I can't
wait. The Secret Wizard is the most

93
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:08.399
incredible game of all time. Invent
newpool game, uh fifteen years ago,

94
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:13.680
eighteen years ago. But you have
a game on a billiard table. It's

95
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:17.759
called the Secret Wizards. I think
it's gonna save the sport. It captures

96
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:24.560
everyone's attention every time I break it
out. I usually like to play pool

97
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.720
kind of anonymously. I'm really not
interested in capturing attention. You say that,

98
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.879
play pool. You say that,
but until you've sucked the toe of

99
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:38.040
the secret Wizard, it's hard to
really know. Man. You'll everyone's a

100
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:40.519
little skeptical at first, but at
least gets a little bit of their attention,

101
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:43.600
and then they see it and the
dollar bills start stacking up on the

102
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.160
side of the table. Is the
is the wages go up? Oh,

103
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:53.560
it's an incredible game. I'll explain
it to you in a break. A

104
00:07:53.560 --> 00:08:00.920
secret Wizard's very powerful, my guess. I'm telling you the ball that is

105
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:11.240
once. Okay, real quick,
before we get into mass Charlie Woods update,

106
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.240
we told you about Tiger's son,
Charlie, who's fifteen. He had

107
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:20.279
to finish in the top twenty five
of yesterday's qualifier and then would have to

108
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.759
finish in the top four on Monday, and then he would get a tea

109
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.639
time with Rory and Ricky Fowler next
week at the Honda Classic. He shot

110
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:37.720
sixteen over eighty six, So it's
basically what I hung at DAC on Wednesday.

111
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.440
Tiger was not in attendance. Charlie
was followed by his mother elon Ay.

112
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.879
She was out there, but there
was also a huge gallery following him.

113
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.879
He shot at twelve on a hole. Oh my yeah, hell I've

114
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:58.519
done that. Yeah, that's Dingo
style. This is at one point not

115
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.519
with Cashers my caddie though, that
was with Bridwell. Sorry, I run

116
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:07.200
it Bridwell randomly on a golf course. I feel like once every five years.

117
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:13.399
It's a very strange time. He
plays every day. As by whole

118
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.759
five, spectators began to realize there
were no ropes to bar them from the

119
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.759
course, so they walked very close
to Charlie Woods on the fairway, ignoring

120
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:26.519
repeated requests from tournament officials to stay
on the cart path. So they were

121
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:33.000
getting close to him, Like,
and he's frustrated because he's failing. You

122
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.519
know, he's just not playing well. This kid's got a long way to

123
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.240
go, a lot of growing to
do. It's telling he's a chance that

124
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:46.320
he's really good. But these are
the most like these are You're never going

125
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:52.519
to crack into these expectations ever.
The son of the greatest, I mean,

126
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.559
Michael Jordan's son is like the best
he could do to even get close

127
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.440
to that is really just a hook
up with Scotty AND's ex wife Larsa.

128
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.960
I mean, that's that's like still
an incredible story. They just broke up

129
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.799
too, didn't they, And they
thought it feels like it's still open though,

130
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:11.399
so I had a chance to save
it. And the whispers are that

131
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.480
MJ said, look, dude,
I'm a billionaire and if you'd like to

132
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.879
be a billionaire one day, knock
this s off, because I think he

133
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.399
wanted to ask her to marry him
and he's going, hey, and MJ

134
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.399
said, you don't have to.
We're done with this, assuming you like

135
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:35.399
a billion dollars in a few years. Wow, she's twenty years older.

136
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:41.039
Wow. Maybe my sources say,
I believe no idea about this? Yeah,

137
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.480
was this reported a lot? Or
yeah, it's just kind of been

138
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.559
their relationship or that the fact that
Michael Jordan's kid was dating Scottie Pippen's ex

139
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:50.919
wife. Yes, yeah, thought
I had no idea about You didn't know

140
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.240
about Thoughty Pippen. Don't call her
Thoughty Pippen twice. Don't repeat your mid

141
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.480
jokes. We did what she's known
as. Do we need to have another

142
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.879
talk? It's not a joke.
It's what she's known as in pop culture

143
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.320
realms. It's absolutely wild and thought
what is it that hoe over there?

144
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.360
Yes, okay, oh that's what
that means. Huh, what's pog mean?

145
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.679
Yeah? What is pog? Help
me on that one? Clearly fat

146
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:20.720
ass white girl and it's a pH
he said it on the radio. It

147
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.600
is dude. For years, we
know Michael Jordan's kid dating Scottie Pippen's xual

148
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:31.879
wife. I didn't they were sorry, I should have known this. They

149
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:35.320
were both on the hot TV show
Traders too, on Peacock, on a

150
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.399
reality show. I just watched he
it's on right now actually, but yeah,

151
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.159
it's weird to see them interact and
very much in love, but they

152
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.200
I think just broke up. I
had somebody text me, who's played that

153
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.039
course that Charlie Wood's played on a
lot. He said, He's played at

154
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.840
fifteen straight years. He said.
The fact that Charlie shot in eighty six

155
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.799
with a quad and a triple is
insane, like in a good way.

156
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.799
Yeah yeah, I mean, you're
he's not good enough not to avoid some

157
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:05.039
huge numbers. But apparently that course
from the tips when you're fifteen years old

158
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:09.200
is just a different damn sport.
A quad and a triple, I mean

159
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.799
that puts you in the seventies right
there if you avoid those. This kid

160
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:18.440
just got his driving permit two weeks
ago. He also had fans or people

161
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.039
on the course running up to him. One lady after a whole twelve approached

162
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:28.159
him with a pen and a copy
of Tiger's book How I Play Golf asking

163
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:35.200
for an autograph because they didn't have
proper security detail for you know, the

164
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.279
following that was going to be there. So he had a two man security

165
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.480
detail there. But that's it.
And it's just not enough for people to

166
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:48.759
randomly ignore the rules of the golf
marshall, the course marshal, and then

167
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.559
walk out there and bother him.
But eighty six if he had a quad,

168
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.120
so he had a twelve, right, so he had a twelve and

169
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.279
then he had that's okay. I
mean as much as I tried to him

170
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:05.480
a little, a twelve four number, Yes, what did you do?

171
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:07.720
Go o b it was a part
four any mad, I'm trying to look

172
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.919
it up right now. On ten
cup, it's a no. To get

173
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:16.519
twelve, you have to go I
don't pump it, ob ret, pump

174
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.759
it O t rete pump water b
RETEA no, because you can't even do

175
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:22.039
water because you want to make a
twelve, you have to be ob which

176
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.799
means you go back to Yeah,
back to the t because on the water

177
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.440
you always move the ball up,
probably depending on where the water is.

178
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:31.120
Like a five, one, two, three, four, five, six

179
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:37.600
seven eight in the water, nine
drop ten on the green two put.

180
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.679
That's a way that you could very
logically get it. So how many OB's

181
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.600
like three ob reached one, two, three, four back on the tee,

182
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.159
five, six, back on the
te seven, say the rough eight

183
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.840
in the water by the green,
drop nine, hit it on the green

184
00:13:52.960 --> 00:14:01.679
ten to put twelve. I mean
it's just something like that happened twelve twelve.

185
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:03.879
I could do that, right,
you could do You could get a

186
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:05.519
twelve on a part four. Yeah, any okay, I could do it

187
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.559
at that place across from the Fireplace
Lounge. It's tennis and it's a famous

188
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.279
course. Maybe grew up playing.
Stop calling it the place across the Fireplace

189
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:22.360
Lounge. Tennis and Glenn the Highlands, tough course, the glen though Danny

190
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:28.200
could he could tear up the glen. He could tear up the glen in

191
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:33.360
more ways than one. Yeah,
he'll tear up some glens tonight. If

192
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:39.639
you show up, ladies. One
tonight girls might be your night, Well

193
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.559
we will, this could be yours. We will not be the home of

194
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:50.320
Charlie Woods. We're gonna let the
kids go. MAVs beat the Sun's last

195
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.759
night, and again they just didn't
say they had to have it. But

196
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.080
it was a tie breaking type of
wind, third time against the Suns this

197
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.559
year, so you have all playoff
advantage on him now. One twenty three,

198
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.600
one thirteen. An excellent second half
in a fun game start to finish.

199
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.799
I mean, just action packed crap, so good, so good.

200
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:18.200
It had everything you anticipated out of
a MAVs son's rivalry game. It was

201
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:22.679
awesome. I thought the I thought
the MAVs. I texted you guys this

202
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.799
last night. They looked more physical
last night than I ever remembered them looking,

203
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.120
and some of them were kind of
They kept saying on the on the

204
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:37.200
broadcast that silly fowls or careless fowls. But there were dudes going at dudes

205
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:45.159
last night. Gafford pretty much creamed
one dude out of bounds. You know,

206
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.200
he miss miscalculated his defense and jumped
a little early, but just can't

207
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.720
remember who. It was, absolutely
floored. Somebody out of bounds. You

208
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.960
had Devin Booker taking it to the
dome a couple of times. I think

209
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:00.879
Lucas smacked him one time. Yeah, they were giving it back too.

210
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.519
But I thought in that second half, you know, obviously three point shooting

211
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:11.600
outside of little Timmy Hardaway helps,
making your baskets helps. But I thought

212
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.960
that they got in the Sun's heads
a little bit. They did, I

213
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:19.600
really do. I saw that,
and that was it was more than the

214
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.440
second half. Obviously, once some
Avericks kind of came out. I had

215
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:27.919
a really good third quarter. Gafford
was the one PJ. Washington. His

216
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:32.919
defense is incredible and he was kind
of getting discussed a little bit for that

217
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:34.960
in Charlotte. Like I has been
playing defense, and I think everyone was

218
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:37.080
like, no, he's a good
defensive player. He was just in a

219
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:41.960
bad basketball environment. Get him here, and boy, he was locking down

220
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:47.200
Katie some last night. Yep.
I mean, holy cow, and Kevin

221
00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.759
Durant s to what got his right
And I mean it's gonna happen in twenty

222
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.639
three points. But like watching that
game, you're sit there, man,

223
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.639
think about Booker. They've got Durant, Wait till they get Bradley bill Off,

224
00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:00.399
Like back from injury, like the
Suns are still good, end up

225
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.919
being good and a tough team to
beat. But it kind of feels like

226
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.079
the Suns might not want much to
do with the maths, and I started

227
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:08.559
thinking about other Western Conference teams who
might be going, you know what,

228
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:12.160
I don't want to play them.
I don't know who does. I mean,

229
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:15.960
they're the hottest team in basketball.
Seven straight wins. I just looked.

230
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.799
I'll just won the title thirty six
to one. People keep talking about

231
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.519
them in a certain way that says
they can make it to the Western Conference

232
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.039
finals. That's the Twitches best great, Okay, yeah, they can make

233
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.519
it to the Western Conference finals.
They also make it to the Western Conference

234
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:32.559
finals two years ago, and this
roster is way better than that roster two

235
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.920
years ago. I kind of think
this team scares the hell out of almost

236
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.920
everyone. I think so, especially
because the second they made the trade,

237
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:44.880
they haven't lost and it's all working
perfectly, and it's so funny. How

238
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.160
happy Luca is. I mean,
we said it even at the Doldrums.

239
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.319
He hates losing and that's what causes
the outburst, which he had another one

240
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.519
last night. Alway says one,
are you fine? With that tech.

241
00:17:56.680 --> 00:18:00.559
I have no problem with that one. So watch with Christie and she's like

242
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.079
really, and I'm like, man, yes, that's that's how you work

243
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:08.240
in official is when it's justified,
like truly justified. You know, Well,

244
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.720
do you think he deserved to get
the tech? I'm saying, do

245
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:14.319
I think he deserved the tech?
I he deserved to be thrown out of

246
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:15.799
the game. Okay, I don't
know about that, but I think he

247
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.519
definitely deserved the tech. He was
three feet away from and he whipped the

248
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:22.240
ball kind of at the guy's head
and then he plays super innocent. What

249
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.599
No, I was just you were
pissed and you whipped it. I didn't

250
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.240
have a problem with him what he
did to get the technical, okay,

251
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:33.960
because I thought that was that was
strategy, That is sending the message to

252
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.359
the official at a for an appropriate
reason. Or I think a lot of

253
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.880
his are just lazy or just hissy. Yeah we're losing, yes, exactly.

254
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:47.160
That one was like, dude,
do better, just because I got

255
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:52.240
smashed twice in a row and he
didn't call nothing. And the numbers,

256
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:55.519
you know what, they had seventeen
free throws and we had five at halftimes

257
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:59.319
yeah, noah. I mean there's
truth to it. And the national commentators

258
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:03.559
were talking about Jason kid gets that
technical or let Tim Hardaway get that technical,

259
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.440
and it's you in the first half, meaning if you snap one time,

260
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:10.519
like third quarter, something doesn't go
on in the first two minutes and

261
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:12.920
you pull a Luca and snap,
but he's then you like, then you

262
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:15.519
get thrown out, Like you give
yourself no margin Forreyer when you get a

263
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:21.920
first half technical. The difference between
Luca and maybe more traditional hot heads,

264
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.480
he's really good at playing with one
technical. Yeah, he rarely gets that

265
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.759
second one off. He dances on
the razor's edge. I told you guys

266
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:34.559
real quick, which goes to show
he can control his emotions. Now.

267
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.440
Granted, I think you get a
little bit more leeway when the refs know

268
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.880
you're playing with one and you're a
superstar. Yeah, yeah, it's got

269
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.359
to be bad. It's got to
be really bad to get actually tossed.

270
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:48.920
But I think Luca's he's he's smarter
than people think. Away from the suspension,

271
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:55.400
Yeah, that's gonna happen. Yeah, games left like that's not good.

272
00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:59.319
He's chasing. He's one behind Dylan
Brooks, who's a known guy,

273
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:03.039
knowing what's anything to do with in
this league anymore, because he's just a

274
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.400
problem if he could avoid getting the
first in unnecessary situations. But last night

275
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:14.119
I had no problem with him getting
one. Dude, Kyrie is insane.

276
00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:18.799
I don't know what more to say
about how perfect he is. The one

277
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.839
thing that, just the one play
that he made that just stands out was

278
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.359
him bringing the ball up. They
are defending him as hard as they can.

279
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:33.319
They're trying to mount a run,
and the behind the back dribble into

280
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:37.599
the paint, the spin move and
knowing, I mean, it looks like

281
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:40.960
he's out of control, and when
he ends up in a position to shoot,

282
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:44.480
he's exactly where he knows he needs
to be and just banks it off

283
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:48.880
the glass. We all remember that
one. That one stands out ridiculous.

284
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.880
And then just on a more of
a humanitarian move, when he dove for

285
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.440
the ball on a scramble to save
a ball going out of bounds and just

286
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:02.480
plowed into two or three people on
the bench during the break, goes over

287
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:04.160
to the guy, brings him a
towel, shakes all of their hands,

288
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:08.759
probably offered to buy the dude's beer, you know, sorry about that.

289
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:15.519
Everything about the guy, I absolutely
effing love him. He's perfect. I

290
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.400
hope he knows that people are thinking
of him that way around here. I

291
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.720
think he does. I mean,
I think I hope so I think he

292
00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:25.359
does. I mean he knows how
we know? He probably does. I

293
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:27.480
don't know. I don't know,
because I think I think there is a

294
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:33.200
bigger appreciation from all of MAVs fans
right now. And maybe they weren't saying

295
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.400
this three weeks ago when he wasn't
playing because he was hurt, right,

296
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:40.640
But like, well, it's almost, yeah, it's almost like That's why

297
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:45.960
I asked if it's all real,
Like who's the guy who gets run out

298
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.680
of every town he's in or wants
to leave, you know? And maybe

299
00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:53.799
that MAVs are a good little melting
pot where he is reacting perfectly to it,

300
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:59.279
or maybe he knows he needed to
re you know, re establish his

301
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:02.680
his vibe or what ever, Like
he knows what the thought was about him

302
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:06.319
nationally, and he's like, you
know what I'm gonna I'm gonna do,

303
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:08.000
right, I don't know what it
is, but whatever it is, he's

304
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:11.119
perfect. He's better than perfect.
He's like the nice all I want to

305
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.799
do is be friends with Kyrie Irvan. He seems like the nicest, coolest,

306
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:21.160
smartest, also one of the best. The thing is about Kyrie is

307
00:22:21.200 --> 00:22:26.759
when dudes try to reform themselves or
put on their Okay, I'm really gonna

308
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.200
try hard, I'm gonna put on
my best face, best foot forward and

309
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:34.319
all that, they end up slipping
up somewhere. He's done nothing but just

310
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:38.480
get better. So maybe this is
who he actually is because sometimes and you

311
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:44.720
can tell it's transfers. Yeah,
this seems so genuinely who he is.

312
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.880
And then when you apply to every
teammate, well not every but almost every

313
00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:52.279
teammate's ever had they love him.
You can tell the reaction from other former

314
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:55.240
teammates when the mass play them.
Mm hm. He's just a good thing.

315
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:56.839
Maybe it's a place where everyone is
allowed to just be who they are,

316
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:00.359
Like Jason Kidd is who he is
is. Whether that drives you crazy

317
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:03.640
or not, that's up to you. But Jason Kidd is You never like,

318
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:07.599
sit there and go with Jason Kidd's
acting out or something, Jesus being

319
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:10.240
him and you may want more from
him at one point, But maybe Jason

320
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:14.720
Kidd's not being overbearing as he was
perceived to be, you know, in

321
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:18.319
other areas. Allows Kyrie to come
in and kind of be a natural leader.

322
00:23:18.359 --> 00:23:22.880
And I guarantee Kyrie's taking joy in
us all realizing don't believe what you

323
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.880
read and what you hear all the
time, which is a lesson for far

324
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:29.960
more than basketballall. I don't think
he's really getting that, Like I hope

325
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.720
someone's telling him that, and it
is real quick. One more thing,

326
00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:37.119
I wanted to say something that makes
this map significantly better, and it's obvious,

327
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:44.359
but there was one moment in the
game last night where Gafford was There

328
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:48.720
was a free throws being shot by
the Suns. Gafferd's on the in the

329
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:53.079
lane and after the first free throw
he comes in. He gets tapped out

330
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:57.759
and replaced by Derek Lively and they
said on the announcer said, well,

331
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:03.440
there's one tall guy getting substituted for
another tall guy. I'm like, yeah,

332
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:07.720
yeah, I like this. There's
no drop off and they're they're different

333
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:12.319
in their styles and Gafford's a banger. I love Danny Gafferd love Carter his

334
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:15.680
previous team, and now he's not. But he just seems happy as hell

335
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:22.039
and he's set a big tone when
he knocked over Nurkic in the second I

336
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.039
was thinking of. There was a
comment Kevin Harlan said on the broadcast not

337
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:32.839
to mention the amazing block shot yeah
that he had. Yeah, yeah,

338
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:37.359
well, Kevin Harlin had coming about
Derrek Jones junior too, like a guy

339
00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.119
who's having a career year starting playing
in a lot of minutes. He's like,

340
00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:42.799
well, whatever, I just want
to win because he's gonna lose minutes

341
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:47.720
when PJ. Washington and Gaffer.
But when Derek Jones is your ninth or

342
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:49.920
tenth best player and he's out there
giving you solid minutes against the Suns,

343
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:53.160
we might be the deepest team in
the league now too. I don't disagree

344
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:56.880
with that. This is just hold
onto your butts and enjoy because it's so

345
00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:00.279
fun. And the thing about these
little streaks that what they're on right now,

346
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:04.599
and the good vibes and the chemistry, that stuff tends to have a

347
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:08.079
snowball effect. Three seconds, Yes, I think it was, Reggie said,

348
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:11.920
Uh, Kyrie Irving and Alan Iverson
are the two greatest ball handlers in

349
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.960
the history of the sport, and
I just thought that was cool to hear

350
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.160
from Reggie Miller. Yeah, and
Iverson said it on his podcast on a

351
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.160
podcast he did with someone that he
First of all, he said that Luca

352
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.559
kind of plays like a brother,
which I think was also okay. Yeah,

353
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:27.200
but he said that Kyrie Irvings got
the best handles in the league.

354
00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:30.039
I have close and he's our second
best player. People are right raving about

355
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:33.680
the Maverick right now. This is
cool. We're the coolest, go the

356
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:38.240
coolest, all right. But some
mask fans might have yelled at something at

357
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:41.680
Kevin Durant. We'll get into that. Also, in News of the Week

358
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:42.119
recap Next Time Night, he said
the one the freak
