Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of UM
Dreaming of a Like Christmas, Timely, Timely. My name is
Jack O'Brien, smiles gray, and we are here to tell
you what'sang's here in. I'll tell you what's training my
(00:25):
notification Well, uh, never turn them off those out that
doesn't matter. I don't need to. And I always add
it's the mount, but not this time, always the good parts,
yet it's out. Uh. Let's talk miles about Kevin Bacon
slaying I at first it said he is gruesome sling
of Kevin Bacon, and I thought something happened to the actor.
(00:47):
And it's referring to like just a grizzly murder of
a twenty six year old hairdresser named Kevin Bacon, named
Kevin Bacon, uh, and like apparently went missing on Christmas.
I think it's a This is probably gonna be quite
a big story, considering it was trending and definitely a
huge news in Michigan. Is it? Is it trending because
his name is Kevin Bacon. Look, I don't want to,
(01:11):
you know, I don't want to be smirched a person
who's lost their life. But is he trending without that
name right well, but there's also like people will just
start a rumor even without the death of somebody with
the same name. Yeah, I think any I think just
by virtue of seeing the name Kevin Bacon, you people
just click. I don't know, we have a whole we
(01:31):
have a love affair with Bacon, we do, and Kevin
and Kevin Kevin Bacon. I feel like, is iconic one
of the most iconic names out there. Uh wow, yeah,
I said it. Why are you going out on a
limb with that one? People made fun of me for
repeatedly saying icon One of the saw over the break
(01:52):
was like, I think Jack thinks anything. There's a difference
between iconic movies that stay in the cultural moment and
movies that don't. Like Avatar, I never said it wasn't photoshop.
Shack is trending. People are asking whether Shack and Kobe
(02:12):
would beat any duo in NBA history. Now, this is
an interesting question because it depends on right now Shack
and Kobe or prime Shack right now? No, yeah, Prime,
which it all comes down to Shack in his prime.
I don't know that anybody has ever been as dominant
or as difficult to stop on a you know, possession
(02:35):
by possession basis as prime. Shack His NWOUD season is
up there. I think it's the eleventh greatest season according
to pr and uh. The only person ranked ahead of
it who won the championship was Jordan. Now, so here's
(02:56):
the question. Are we playing two on two basketball? Because
if we're playing on two basketball, I think Kobe and
Shack beat anyone. It's definitely like if I was playing
a video like an NBA Jam style game, I'm like,
that's a good that's hard, a good blend of size, speed,
and lethality. Yeah, Kobe sure, Like Kobe's above you know,
(03:18):
he's where, he's where he needs to be. He like
on the on the level of the greats. Like he's
not gonna hurt your duo. But the reason that they
would be probably unbeatable size of check Yeah, check is
like and so big are there? I mean, so Jordan's
I mean, if you're playing five on five and it's
just they're two of the five players out there on
(03:38):
your team, you got Jordan Pippen, Like, I think they're
going to be impossible to beat. They got You're saying,
if you're playing fives. If you're playing fives and you're
just adding these two as a two of the five
players on the court, But if you're playing two on two,
I think it's a different different game. And Kobe because Shack, yeah,
(03:58):
because how who the fund is gonna guard check? Like
that's that's legitimately what he said, somebody, because the other
duo that's getting brought up in this conversation is Lebron
and a D. And Shack was like, yeah, I think
we'd beat him. Who's gonna guard me? That's true? I
mean a D would get in his way. I think
he would. It would be interesting to see him defend him.
But I think what would be interesting if you have
(04:20):
if it's Lebron currently because a D s in his prime.
Now do we get to have Lebron and his prime
and a D and his prime versus them too? That
would be in the era. I think it has to
be the air in which they played. Because Kobe got
nasty or even after Shacks he did, I don't think
I think you would still go with Shack because that's prime.
(04:41):
Shack is just completely unstoppable. Who Jordan is such a
good defender. I think like I think we'd be surprised
by how good Jordan would be. It like fucking with Shack.
But uh still I don't think he's able to stop him.
He's big, Yeah, he's big. Yeah, it's the game's different now,
you know. It would be interesting though. All right, now
here's a wild card. Okay, uh the Splash Brothers in
(05:03):
their prime because if there, if you're yeah, we don't
need to we don't need let check dunk it. But
we're hitting threes every time. That's true. Yeah, I mean
that is a way where you just basically then like
a true tactician, you're nullifying the size to be like no, no,
you can play the our game. Yeah, outside, I think, honestly,
(05:23):
I do. One duo does come to mind if we're
actually thinking competitively and realistically, any duo that could give
them a run for their money would probably be the
ninety seven Nets with Keith van Horn and characters. Phil
Jones is trending. Let's talk about your sport. Phil Jones
(05:45):
don't know who he is a defender for Manchester United
and was just absolutely pretzeled up, twisted up by Kevin
de Bruner. Okay, so they played a match against their
you know, their hometown rivals, Manchester City Manchester United. Uh,
and you know he Manchester United. Look, I'm I don't look,
I'm not gonna lie, Arsenal. We're also going through some
(06:06):
going through some ship right now. We're trying to figure
ourselves out because our legendary managers have left and we
have identity issues. We don't know how we play anymore.
We don't know what to do. Same thing for United.
But I have to laugh because you know their arrival
team and I love to just feast on the tears
of the Red Devils. And he was just Yes, he
was embarrassed in this match. It brought up a lot
of questions about their defending. They were beating, you know,
(06:27):
defeated three nil. Jack, you saw the clip. I did
see the clip. He got crossed up pretty good as
the same basketball. Yes, he sold them one way and said, nah, bro,
these are these are knockoffs. Sorry? Did he was he
injured or did he just look injured? You mean when
he when he went down when he went From my understanding,
he may have been recovering from I don't think it's
an look. If you're playing in that match, it means
(06:49):
you're ready to play. Unless the management is so terrible.
I know some people don't like the manager of United,
but it you know, look, it's one of those things
that's gonna stick in fans heads. It reminds me of
when Lionel Messy left Jerome bullet Tang for dead in
the Champions League. It honestly, i'll show you this clip later.
The way Messy just cuts him down with just one
(07:12):
in an out move unbelievable. The way he just just
literally disintegrates like Obi Wan Kenobi in a new home. Yeah.
Uh do do people say he put them on ice
skates and in Uh? I mean I think American fans
would because we're familiar with those terms. Scott, Yeah, uh
is Messy still good? Yes? Yeah, he's you know, he's
(07:35):
getting he's split. I think thirty now, I mean, which
is like in soccer ages, like you peak around twenties.
Got it? Yeah? Um he still Yeah, he's still probably
the greatest player. And then it was he didn't even
score off of it. It was an own goal so powerful. Yeah,
the kick off the goalkeeper was just just you hate
(07:59):
to see it. Yeah, I hate to see it unless
you don't support Manchester United, which you love to see man,
you mate, you proper mank over here manko a manko Uh,
let's talk Aubrey Huff, I don't know. I thought it
might be an actress. It is a former MLB player
(08:20):
who had some movie problematico tweets just like that phrase
us very very awful. What did he say? He said? Uh,
somebody was like, man, we should go over to Iran
and kidnap the their women because they, you know, they
(08:41):
know how to act or something. And uh so, uh,
let me just pull this up so you can hear
word for word the genius that this motherfucker's saying. Oh.
The person who he was responding to Ardi uh deleted
his tweet, but uh yeah. They basically said, let's go
kidnap the women, and Aubrey Huff responded, let's get a
(09:02):
flight over and kidnap about ten each. We can bring
them back here as they fan us and feed us grapes,
amongst other things. Uh and yeah. Uh and people there's
a lot of responses that are like, I'll sign up
for this draft. Uh yeah. So it's all very obscure
to people who are completely disconnected from the reality of
(09:26):
what the fun now. Surprisingly big Elizabeth Warren supporter truck
Mega Baby. I thought Aubrey Huff was some kind of
mash up of Aubrey o Day from Danity Kane and
Julie Ann Huff. Yes it is not. Uh yeah, yeah,
he want let me lose them and then bon is trending.
(09:47):
But we haven't even talked about Coach the Coachell line up,
which we should probably talk about that and then we
can get to Bonaroo at a later date. Wait is
this the same? I'm looking at this lineup and it
looks exactly like Coachella. Yeah. No, I just had the
coach Hell line up. I just put my Frank Ocean, Rage,
Travis Scott, Tom York. The coach Hell line up is
