It's uh well, how's everybody feeling? About the NBA blake
how this is this is a nice? This is a
nice We're free, Like starting on day one of the
playoffs were free. We don't have to we don't have
to suffer through a seventy six ers, you know, playoff
(03:08):
run unbrend.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, if you call a four to two first round
loss a run, then yeah, no, you don't have to
stop through that at all.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
It's it's relaxed.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Sometimes they'd even go to the second round, which was
always rude. Yeah, rude yeah to their fans and yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, it was like a guest overstaying They're welcome.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Are you watching it? Being like yes, low stakes?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Or I mean, how are you even watching it?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Are you just casually watching.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I'm going to say something terrible. Oh no, I'm pulling
for the Warriors. That's where my life's at, where I
think there's something about watching old people have one final
last hurrah that is like it's like comfort food at
this point, just like I know there's certain junk food
that's not good for me, but it's from an arrow
(03:59):
where I felt more safe.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
We're like like millennials are like nostalgic for the nineties.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
That's exactly what's happening right now. Yeah, that's exactly like this.
It's like, bring that back.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
What are what are the two thousands pistons doing? Cowboys?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I was gonna say I was also gonna say space cowboys,
Space cowboys. Brian the Editor also in the chat simultaneous
space Cowboys references just one last.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Also, Blake sticks a P in the middle of comfort.
He says, comfort, comfort, comfort.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Wow, I guess I did. Oh that's concerning.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I did that spell the word Blake.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Oh m p p h u R t.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Okay, comfort, okay, no notes for me.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
News from around the league, man, Dame Damian Lillard Achilles.
That was that wasn't like the first quarter, wasn't it?
Just right back and then you're right off?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Uh yeah, terrible does immediately like it. It feels like
Yannis being out of out of Milwaukee is like a
foregone conclusion at this point. So just how how bad
they've looked in the first round in general, and like
how kind of without a chance they like that series
(05:18):
has really seemed heavily to favor the Pacers, and the
Pacers have just looked like a better team pretty consistently
has actually been as somebody who roots for the league.
Against the Celtics has been exciting to me because I
do feel like Yannis is going somewhere that is going
(05:39):
is going to be hard for the Celtics to deal with.
Like all the rumors.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Are next to porzingis yes or that gonna be hard?
I mean that, Blake, don't you dare?
Speaker 6 (05:53):
I would?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I would never The rumors have been thunder, which would
be too much. I don't want them to go to
the thunder. But yeah, but the Knicks and the Rockets
are the two teams that have me excited. I've enjoyed
watching the Knicks in this Piston series and just imagining
Yannis next to Brunson, like Brunson is just so just
(06:16):
such a g such a like bucket down the stretch,
so tough, like just so built for the playoffs, and
then you like have Yiannis as like the second option
on that in that offense is like wild to me
that that would be a lot of fun and I
would love to have a team in the Northeast that
(06:37):
could challenge the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
And then the Rockets obviously would be.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Fun, although I don't I feel like they still would
need like some shooting or I don't know, a shot
creator on the perimeter. Whereas the Knicks, you put them
in there and there immediately I think a title contender.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Mmm, I mean I think you said thunder Knicks, rockets.
I think there's a fourth one probably too.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Oh yeah, because this just happens every time, any pre
event is.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Never being discussed to say it, who whoul the fourth
one be?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
It happened with Luca. I said it as a joke,
I said, Luca.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Coach, what you did?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Say it as a joke. I will say, I usually
don't get it when people expect it to happen, right, Yeah,
it's it's just like when it's out of door.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's eight months later. Is when it happens when you
expected months later.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I will say, like, usually you hear rumors that someone's
going somewhere, like it's one of the times that like
rumors do come true. Uh like bron to La even
bron to Miami like that those are both rumored for
like multiple seasons before they happened.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
So the rumor mill on this one.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I feel like I have consistently heard the Knicks that
he's like interested in going to the Knicks and bring
basketball back to New York and then some of his
commercials he's he has like been in New York City.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
So I don't know, I can't. I could see.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Somebody for someone who's been in New York city's been
like I've seen pictures of him in New York City.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
I saw him.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I saw him eating a hot dog.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
There's a where he's like playing on a court. I
feel like, oh no, that was Embiid. Never mind, it
was somebody with an accent.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Did you confuse Embid with Drew Ski or was it? Yeah?
Oh man, Well.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
That made me sad.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
But I just said I don't have to listen to
that ever again.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
It's uh, it is really nice, though, Blake. Doesn't it
feel nice to be free of you know? Watching like
watching Embiid's career has been a little bit like watching
the fuse burned down on a stick of dynamite that
you know it's blow uping your hands. Yeah, and it's
just like it's been. It's exciting, for.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Sure, Oh for sure.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
You don't know what's gonna happen, but.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
You know it's gonna end badly, fairly soon and fairly quickly.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
This is where I'm at mentally with where. I just
watched that Court of Gold or whatever it was called
the Olympics Olympic basketball documentary on Netflix, which, by the way,
I do want to say is my favorite basketball documentary
by a former first couple since Lyndon and Lady Bird
Johnson did one on Dolph Chase. But I don't know
who your audience is.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, it was made by the Johnson's.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Lyndon later was made by the Biens, right, Yes, I
believe it if I remember correctly. But I remember watching
it and love the Steph Curry storyline so much, you know,
like Lebron was kind of a secondary the Durant one
I enjoyed. And then I would get glimpses of Embiid
just not talking to anyone, just hanging out in the back,
(09:44):
just not even doing the chant like on three one
two three USA, just kind of hanging out, and I'm like, oh, yeah,
I can't watch give me yeah one one, two three
not playing for France, which he had every right to do,
but yeah, it's I have been enjoying watching it.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I've been as a fan.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I've been finding like secondary reason teams to cheer for,
where the Knicks have a lot of Villanova players on there,
so I'm, you know, cheering for the Nova Nicks the villain,
that's right. I was really hurt when they traded even
Chins the Big Regu, the humongousgu but all time nickname
(10:26):
by the way, the Big Ragu for a redheaded basketball
player from Delaware of all places. But yeah, I've been
I don't know, other than the three one of it all,
Like I do still feel like, because it's the Lakers,
that Minnesota series is still probably is easily the most
interesting three to one out of all of them. To me, No,
I'm not really, It's.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Not like you know, reverse yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, with my reverse tears in my series, just basically
like do we want them to win in LA or not?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
You maybe delayed Minnesota to win in LA or not?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Yeah, And I honestly I was talking to Jabari before.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Better to have a loss that is just punctuated like sorry,
not good enough, not even something where you delay the
foregone conclusion to get people thinking like whoa hmm.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Maybe really that's where you're at for right now.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I mean, I will I think it's like any sort
of psychological thing where you have to sort of let
go of the expectation of it because that's gonna hurt
way more, you know. And I think right now, for
where we started and where we ended, I can say,
you know what, Okay, I'm okay with this.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
This is how I wanted it to end, given the
fact that we had Luca Lebron together.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Maybe not, but I'm not. Look, all it's gonna take
is for us to win Game five and I go,
we're back.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Yeah, but I.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Don't know it just we just look so thin, like
especially going down the stretch and JJ Reddick not being
able to so yeah, Like it really felt like he's
just he's look, he's new, is his first season, he's
in the playoffs. The stakes are high, and he's playing
like the stakes are so high that he's like, I
gotta have every single guy out there, even if I
(12:18):
if I play them into the ground.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
It's like the first time you play a video game
and you lose track of like the reload button.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You just keep you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
He's just like, oh, yeah, shoot, people get tired, yeah, yeah, yeah, And.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Then wondering is like, well, we just had our biggest
guys missing layups in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
It's like, yeah, because they played the whole second.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Halfsted yea, Yeah, It's just I mean that's where I
feel bad when, like, I definitely respect his acumen as
a coach, but even there are other times I'm like,
I'm like sweating for Lebron and like he shouldn't be
out there this long. Now, Yeah, he shouldn't be playing
for this this much.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Surely, surely, So anyway, there there, I am with that,
But be th under, hey, at least they swept the
grizzly Is they look as good as I feel like
they are, so I can at least focus on the
number one seeds.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
And just pretend that we weren't really in this at all.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I got a lot going on, man, right now, you
know you have a lott Hey, look man, I got
to get out of here.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Yeah, I'm so busy.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I just saw a rumor that Rob Polinka might trade
his leather jacket for four second round picks. Is that true?
Or is that is the value not there?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
It's true, it's true. It's Corinthian leather.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I don't feel like there's a ton to say about
the one eight. The calves crushed the heat by fifty
five to sweep the series, like with the Thunder and
the Grizz, Like there were a couple of close games
where the Thunder in Game three, I had to come
back from being down a lot. I forget the number,
but it was like too many to make sense, and
(13:51):
then they won a close one in the game four.
The Calves just like beat the Heat in Game four
by fifty fifty five. Like there's one point where it's
like seventy two to twenty one or so.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
They had a forty Miami, right, Yeah, yeah, I think so, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
They had They had a forty eight point lead at
the end of the third quarter, which was I think
the highest ever in NBA postseason history. And yeah, you
all we saw was really sad, sad pat Riley on
the sidelines being like, we're here, what's happening on the
other side of the league. Oh, what's Jimmy Butler doing
(14:28):
at the Warriors right now?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Uh huh?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
The Warriors are probably Yeah, I feel like they would
be America's team at this point. Like if the Lakers
go out like Miles expects them to do, I think
they might as well just not show up personally, Like
it sounds like that's like where the Laker's over there,
just like, don't even go to the game.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I mean, no, I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You know how many people are coping so hard with
the stats and stuff, and I look, I don't want to,
like I think, deep down I'm saying my most honest
feeling is I just don't after that we just do
not have what it takes to compete with them right now,
given how just the puffin the personnel is and just not.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Keep using thin miles and yet your best player. Never mind,
I'm not gonna even say anything about it, but Chest, I.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Don't have an agenda.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I don't have an agenda on the agendas to win,
which is why I'm also like, look, if we got
to move Lebron on to bring in some other pieces
to make this thing happen, please let's go.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
The reaction to this series so far like Zach Lowe
response being Zach low who I like a lot, but
I have also laughed a lot at his Like sometimes
his takes on round one are a little over the top,
like that the year that the Heat beat Milwaukee, and
(15:51):
he was like just spent the whole time talking about
how terrible Milwaukee was instead of being like the Heater
actually playing really well and the Heat ended up going
to the finals this time. He was like, I actually
understand the Luca trade the way this guy defends. But
I think I think what he meant was like, there's
(16:13):
a lot of people around the league who understand why
Dallas traded Luca. They just don't understand why they did
it the way they did, which is as a secret
handshake with the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
With the little return. Yeah, Anthony isn't anything.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
But you know, no, no, but it just didn't like other.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Teams had a lot they could have offered you to
set you up for the future, especially, and the.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Lakers would have still been there offering that. It doesn't
like it just doesn't make sense. Like even as a
like knowing anything about business, knowing anything about diplomasy, like
having read a book, I feel like you'd be able
to just be like this does a book? Wait a second,
any subject actually illiterate?
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, is literate. And that's what I was here to say.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
He uses voice to text for everything. People don't know that. Yeah,
good for him.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll come back, we'll
talk about other series.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
And we're back as somebody who just doesn't want to
see the Celtics when I'm looking for things to be
excited about. I feel like the teams that have looked
better than I expected them too in the playoffs are
basically Indiana has looked awesome so far and like they
were also like last year's playoffs, they overperformed. I feel
(17:42):
like Carlisle's maybe the best coach this side of tylu uh.
And I still don't think that they can beat the
Celtics though, And I don't know the the Calves and
okay see have both been good, but I do feel
like I'm just like not counting it because they were
playing teams that were far worse than them.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
So I don't know. I don't know exactly what.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Let's we'll collect a little more data to see because yeah,
the next round will be instructive for sure, But I
mean what I mean that even the Clippers, man, I'm
sick to my stomach watch. I know it's tough because
it's going to be totally different by the by the
time anyone hears it, but it has The Clippers look
have looked awesome, but then I don't know they might
(18:28):
not even make it out of this series too.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Yeah, yeah, that was that.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Uh that game ending was that an intentional you'll get
overshot that right, and Aaron Gordon just put it back.
It wasn't like it because that was but it was
so perfectly scripted to have that at the buzzer. I
it is the closest buzzer beater I think I've ever
seen to the.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Point where like I saw a lot of people getting mad.
It's like you all need better like high speed cameras.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
It was literally like so framed a frame.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, but it was like yeah, because I think they
were always like felt like it was maybe you know,
twenty four frame whatever, how many frames the second one,
it's like the light you don't you couldn't tell when
exactly it went in relation to the buzzer actually going off,
but it was good enough, and it.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Was like a physics question at that point. It's like
you need I needed like ten frames in between the
two because it was like it's touching his finger one frame,
next frame it's not touching his finger, and the light
is on, Like we need to keep going down. Thin
slicing is with like hat sizes.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I'm in between a seven and a quarter and a
seven and three eighths, so I have to either go
big hat or like tight slightly tiny hat when I
get a haircut in a corner. Yeah, speaking his hats,
what do you think of those horse hats that they
passed out to the Clippers fans in the wall? Did
you see those where they're wearing like horse heads but
not full mask. So that's my problem with it, just
(19:52):
a little to get ahead of my.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Head, like cheesehead, cheese cheese heads, but horses horses to
make yok it be like see, I feel like that
is too much of a like fun joke you would
do with k as opposed to like getting in his head,
you know what I mean. Like it's like, we are
so scared of you as a basketball player. Hey, look
(20:16):
at this. Look over here, here's the thing you like?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
You like?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah, yeah, be some candy. Right's cute? And I like
it as a fan of the NBA and as a
fan of just like fandom weird stuff. Yeah yeah, as
a if I'm like really trying to scheme as a
Clippers fan, I'm like, this is probably not doing the
thing that we wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
You know, yeah, I always wearing Ayisha Curry mask two
Warriors games when I sit to try to distract stuff
from just anything that you love you love her, yeah, yeah,
you love her so much.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Oh that would actually aspiring. That actually might really mess
you up if it's just his beautiful wife's and then
your body underneath it beautif don't know how to feel
about this beautiful body. Beautiful body, but like beautiful, not
in the way that he's used to right right, thank you?
Turn him all around, you know, I know how to feel.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
That's my goal.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Did you guys watch Nick's pistons?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I did that?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Last one?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Was the refs really, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Even the lake that Laker game, you know, Game four
also felt some type of way. There was some there
was a trip there at the whatever, but anyway, the pistons,
I really felt bad for them because that should have
been a foul at the end right there.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, it did feel.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
They were just like you know what, whistle never.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Heard of it, Josh Hart, He's a tough defender.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I truly am like right down the middle on that
because if you call that, it's like, I don't know,
it is one of those things that it's it's like
kind of a coin flip, and I feel like in
this case, it just does side the game.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
If it happened in the first quarter, that's a foul.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, And so that's where I'm like, if and I
get you don't want to really inform the game with
your calls there, but if that is a foul in
any other context, then it should be even then without
being like but.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
They could it could shift the game.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
But I don't know, I don't know. I think also,
I'm just it's really nice to see Kate Cunningham like
really coming to his own and I'm like, I'm just
like really rooting for them, even though I love the Knicks,
but I've just really found myself really like rooting for
the Pistons.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Like, come on, guys, come on, buddies, you can do this,
but the NBA is more fun when the Pistons are good.
And then I actually, Jack, I have a I want
to talk about twins. When you're done with this statement
that you're about to make, I want to rank the
NBA twins. Oh wow, because of the Thompson's of all time.
I think, So there's the Thompson twins who are both
in the playoffs at the moment of this recording. And
(22:54):
then I didn't know Horace and Harvey Grant were twins.
Here's the Lopez bruh. I thought that which brothers like you?
I think because one more goggles, more different. This guy
has huge eyes and this other guy has normal eyes.
I can't tell, but yeah, I always just and the
(23:15):
Morris twins I think. You know, I'm partial to because
they're from Philly, but I think twins are so good
for basketball in general when they're in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Anyone ever unleashed the twins on the same team, like
playing together at the same time, like those two Australian
twins that went viral freak where they're just like completing
each other's sentences. And like the two women who had
the Exotic birds. Yeah, yeah, the two yeah, just like
that weird mind beld. I feel there were there were
(23:49):
professional tennis like doubles players who like individually were not ranked,
but they were one of the best. I think this
was like the nineties or early its. Uh, like playing
as doubles a doubles pair, they were like one of
the best in the in the world, and it was
like this like sort of weird mind meld where they
always like knew it was like two minds or like
(24:12):
two bodies with one mind.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Brothers.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Yeah, Bob and Mike, Bryan.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
You know where I think I saw a story about them. Uh,
and I'm Jack O'Brien and the reference I made in
every episode and for for no one, nobody's like God,
that guy's Leslie Stall.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I like the idea he did the Leslie Stall again, Honey.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I work out to that.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
But I think when you do that line, that's how
I do put That's how I put up I throw
up weight.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yeah, I like the idea of a family listening to
this podcast sitting around the dinner.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Table, Honey, did you hear it?
Speaker 6 (24:54):
All? Right?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
But Brunson and Kat have been amazing, Like just some
of the shots they're hitting down down the stretch. It
really did feel like I was rooting for a Pistons
win just because I wanted to see it go to
to and it was. It just felt like this was
(25:15):
not happening like I did. I never felt confident. I
never felt like they were gonna pull it off. Just
Brunson is so tough in the fourth quarter, He's had
his points in fourth quarters in this series. Game one
twelve points, Game two fourteen points, Game three twelve points,
Game four fifteen points. Just incredible.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Hey, you know, look at it on the Pistons, so
that Tobias Harris guy never heard of him?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Game I was like that guys, guy, Wow, Finish.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Is hitting like huge buckets that are like so like
that fade away he hit like falling out of bounds,
like down the stretch was so wild. I don't know,
I'm starting to fall in love with the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I don't I'm only going to get hurt when they
play the Celtics next round. But I am going to
watch every game of that every minute of that series,
and uh, you know, weep along with Knicks fans.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Show them, you're the goat Knicks player, bro, show them,
show them.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
And then you know it's it's looking like it's gonna
be Pacers calves. Like the Pacers have looked incredible. The
calves have looked really good. But it also again it
looked like regular season good because the heat we're pretty weak.
Is anybody thinking that the Pacers might take him down?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Not bad, bad bad guess alert No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
No, probably not. Probably not.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
No, I mean yeah, I'm just based on how I
mean again, like you're saying that the matchup with the
Heat isn't the best display of you know, what their
longevity will be in the postseason.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
But I I think I think they will manage. I
think they will manage. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not too
hot on the Pacers, to be honest, I just don't
like that. I just don't like those. They're new, those
like city uniforms.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, the uniforms I knew.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I already knew when when you were like, I'm not
too hot on them, I was like, Myles doesn't like
their uniform.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
It feels like from like Nickelodeon, Guts like or something
like it's a Nickelodeon uniform. And then I'm like, all,
I don't know, are you guys the is this Legends
of the Hidden Temple.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Or this is the NBA Playoffs. I can't take this seriously.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
See it seems like a uniform that was designed for
like do you remember in The Fresh Prince where Will
Smith like played basketball, Yeah, for his high school. Like
it feels like it would if they had spent more
time on the uniforms than that, like that would have
been you know it was like a nineties era like
made for TV basketball uniform Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
The bell Air Academy ones.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
They didn't they didn't look like I don't think they
but like that's kind of what I would have expected,
you know, like or or like the football uniforms in
any given Sunday, Like they have like a lot of
te Yeah, just like generic, like uh, costume designer with
like a little too much time to think about this,
(28:18):
and they overthink it.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
So if we use the same logic of the person
that inexplicably wins a March Madness bracket because they just
looked at the uniforms, yeah, by that logic, pacers, I'm.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Sorry, Yeah they're done. Yeah, you're you're cooked. I just
don't like the uniforms. I'm sorry, And that's as might
have been too to make these decisions.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
They've had some cool city connect but like I feel
like they have like almost like a racing like nas
because you know, like Indie or whatever, you know, like
racing uniform. At one point, those Pinstripe ones I loved
from the Jaywen Rose Pacers, you know what I mean,
Like Navy boy with yellow pin stripes. I thought they're
very very classic and slimming of course, you know, with
(28:55):
the pin stripes, and made all the players look lighter.
That's Lucas problem. He needs the GOP player.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Ray Miller actually quite overweight, but he just oh my god,
nobody knows that because he had those strimming pin stripes.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
He was three five pounds.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Right, What the heck just happened?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Why did we just do that?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Yeah, we sinkd up. We're twins.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yeah, no, on Tuesdays we sink up. Yeah, you didn't
notice identical twins.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
The identical twins were the more of the seventy five.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
You guys just both three and seventy five was the
funniest number.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Yeah, I was scary. It's so scary.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I think I'm trying to move on from it actively,
Like I think, I think.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
I don't want to know. It was a destination thing
where you like got a flash of it.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Oh never never, never mind.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I said to ninety eight.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Like, we need to advantage the miracle that just happened here.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah, based on that, maybe the Lakers are going to win. Yeah,
because I was, I think we just from Blake and
I just completely just.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
And you're gonna win by three hundred and seventy five point.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Exactly, exactly exactly, we're gonna be shooting three hundred and
seventy five percent from percent from three. Well, now the
delay is a little the magic already.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, I'm realizing that, Like people are just going to
be like, yeah, but that happens all the time when
you're in the same room over over zoom. It's a
little it's weird, it's weird.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
It was weird.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
A tandem bicycle right now, Miles and just doing lapse
around jack lause.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Yeah, And they passed by the mic one at a time,
and just all right, let's check in with the odds
real quick, and then we'll go to the break and
then I just want to uh, we got the rabbit
fire around a question. I just want to put this
guy out out of his misery. Miles, you know what
(30:51):
I'm saying. Hell no, sorry, man, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, that was a little sorry, yell, sorry, but never
mind here, dude, do whatever it was he could have
said before he threatened to kill me.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Why don't you fill me up? But can you give
me a glass of water?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Kill you with rapid fire.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Keep it keep it running so it gets real cold
from the tap?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Wait, what's that from the Sopranos when Bobby Baccoalaw's dad
comes out of retirement as a hit man and has
that botched hit job on like that guy pony Boy,
and like he ends up dying leaving after he kills him.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Do you remembering?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
It causes a strain because Bobby Bacala's dad is like
a former mob hit man and he needed he's just
like he's so old as Ahima, He's like, and he
goes to kill this other guy who's his nephew, and
it goes all wrong because he's just like old.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
And then is he the one who tells him to
put a yeah to distract.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Him a glass of water and he's like, keep it
running so it gets really cold.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
And as he's doing that, he gets his gun out
to shoot the guy and it just goes all wrong.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Didn't cut that iconic panos? All right?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Okay, See is still odds on favor to win the title.
Boston is plus one ninety right behind them, So okay,
See plus one fifty Boston plus one ninety. Calves plus
five point fifty. The Golden State Warriors have moved into
the fourth spot at plus one seventy, which I think
(32:25):
is wishful thinking, but I mean that I guess is reflected.
You know, the odds are moved by what people are
gambling on. I'd love to see the Warriors make a
run here. I don't see them beating the Thunder. I
do think the Clippers have the best chance of beating
the Thunder out of the West, but I don't even
(32:45):
know if they're getting out of the first round. That
series will have had a very important game five by
the time everybody listens to this. But as we as
we discuss it's only two two Clippers plus two fifty.
Minnesota has moved up to plus two thousand, eight hundred
twenty eight hundred, which is a big move that that
was plus four thousand a week ago and the Lakers
(33:09):
are now plus four thousand. It was two plus two
thousand a week ago.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I'm a bet ten thousand, then do it?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Uh huh, No, you should do that.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I was waiting for.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
That's actually really good. Yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
How it works.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
And yeah, maybe it's I shouldn't be doing that, but
I think you should in this bet calculator just looks
too good.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Get that in now before they change those odds, by
the way, so you should get that that in as
soon as you can.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
You would win plus You would win four hundred and
ten thousand dollars if you want so.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I mean, then that's money.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Hello, exactly, you'd gotta be a fool.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
They would have to win this series and the championship
a team that looks completely gassed right now.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
It's too gas thin five thin, that's right on the pinch.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I mean sometimes thin people get guessed. The New York
Knicks plus four thy five hundred.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
All right, well, hold on, well, hold on, I'm having that.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
What have you bet ten grand on each? The Lakers
and the Knicks over almost a million?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I mean that's they say it's impossible for them to
both pay out.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
Well, but I.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Plus six thousand crazy to me, because they are tied
to two with the Clippers, who are plus twenty five hundred.
The Nuggets are the Yeah, the Nuggets are plus six thousand.
That's I mean, I also think the Clippers have the
better chance of winning the series, but that's still that's
(34:48):
that's good value. As I on this gambling podcast.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Congrets on that trademark, by the way.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Oh thank you, And that's what we call Jack's good
Value pick.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
And then then a week.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
And then the pacers I think are the best value,
Jack's number one value pick of the week plus seven thousand.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
Call it.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
That's great value brought to you, not by great value,
brought to you by best buy. I should have called
it Jack's best buy, and instead we call it Jack's
grape value.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
I made a mistake.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
I thought they would have more advertising money great value
for some reason. H.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
At the end of the commercial, it's just yeah, he
bought thirty seconds of ad time and he filled it.
I bought copy regrets. You bought your own show.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Guys, you hear that great value?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Add I submit it.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
To great value?
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Was it cool?
Speaker 4 (35:52):
If we you do this?
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Cool?
Speaker 1 (35:57):
All right? Uh? Go to draft Kings?
Speaker 6 (36:00):
Is that the one?
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Anyways?
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Uha? Professional podcast? H. Let's take a quick break, and
when we come back, Blake's gonna get us a nice,
a nice cold glass of water. Let it keep running
so it gets nice and cold like I like it.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
And then he's gonna come back and he's gonna be
in a fire fight, rapid fire round of questioning.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Oh, we're back. Nice cold glass of water.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Blake, really appreciate that. Now, when you look out the window,
there's gonna be a real pretty sunset there in a
few hours. Beautiful yep, think of the rabbits.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
So yes, it's time, Blake. You know we love you, man,
but you also know we despise you.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
And that's.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Fire around question.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
It's true.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
They're both the rudest crudest question answer segment in all
of sports podcasting history.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Blake, we asked you a question.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
You just respond quickly, got it quietly, confidently, silently respond
without saying anything at all, but with your good podcast
answer each of these questions with your eyes.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
And these aren't answered no questions, they're very nuanced. So
those eyes got to do. Do you accept the challenge, Blake?
I accept this challenge to start the clock. Don't laugh, Blake,
because this is serious.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Man.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
I was watching an old sixty minutes clip and it
made me laugh. I missed everything you just said.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Sorry, I was watching the clip from sixty minutes during
Beanie Baby Mania.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Wild what these people are spending? Okay, we go, Jack,
you want to go first.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Should Oh, Miles, I'd love to go first. No, you
guys don't want to take more time figuring out who
goes first.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Hey, we'll be the rude one.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Sorry, Please don't be rude to us, Dude, I was
just asking.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
I know, but it's our shoulders, man, just as it's
a weird look when you. I'm sorry to us.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Sometimes I get confused about who plays what role on this,
so I thought it was my anyway, I apologize by
the way.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
Don't rude us.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Well, treat me like that.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Blake thinks he's so great because he's curing autism and Eagles.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Jack, I'm actually done with this.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
No, no, Miles, don't do this. And Jack, thank you.
But Miles, no, no, no, no, don't act like that
about you.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Be rude to you again. Nice try, buddy, that was
a rope, Jack off Lake.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
You have the ability to wave your Harry Potter Collector's
Edition wand, which I know that you have.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Yep, we tailored this for you.
Speaker 4 (38:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Yeah, Mike, twenty sixteen Bellatrix wand original edition.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
You got the Elder wand we know you have the
Elder one. I got a whole set.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Yeah, you get to wave your two thousand edition Bellotricks
wand and create your preferred finals matchup for the end
of this tournament. What's your matchup? And then, what do
you actually think it'll be?
Speaker 1 (39:13):
I want Lakers Celtics honestly ideal, OKC Nicks would be.
I feel like so much fun where you have Oka
see as a fan base has always been because it's
it's a city with kind of with one professional sports team,
(39:36):
you know, yes, and then you have the Knicks, which
have been who have been around for forever. But New
York is so basketball rabbid for the Knicks like I
used to feel like. And I love the color orange.
That's actually primarily what it is. I just want to
see as much orange on the court as humanly possible.
So that's why I'm going, Okay see Nicks as my favorite.
(39:56):
What I think it'll be Celtics.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Versus the Celtics somehow.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Versus the Celtics. I think it's going to be an
intra squad Scrimmagles.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
You don't let him use magic Jack.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
And all I gotta say, though, I mean you you
said earlier that The Court of Gold is your favorite
series basketball documentary by a former president. I'm just glad
Bill Simmons isn't a president because obviously the answer would
be Celtic's city.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
And we're saying that Bill as a peer as yeah,
to get his peers.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
That's what I wanted is more more Celtics content during
these plays. Answer is Celtics or Celtics, Celtics or Celtics
versus Celtics.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
What I actually think it's going to be.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Okay, okay, next next question, go ahead. You're riding your
bike that most people believe you don't use training wheels for,
but we all know, we've seen the photos.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
You do still use training wheels.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Legs are so strong, it's harder to pedal against the
training wheels.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
More wheels and you come quick miles, real quick. Just
so the audience knows, I have training wheels on the
front and the back wheels, so it's a total of
six wheels that I have with like I.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Know, yeah, and I'm glad you know you know that
you have really cagy on your Instagram stories like you're
riding a two wheel bike.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
I just want to say, and this is no shade,
like we were throwing shit about calling out your Harry
Potter wand to form the.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Question, but you're on your bike. Oh, it sounds like
it's negative. It's not negative. It's perfectly tricks and that's
finby sixteen original one. Yeah, you're where you're at.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
As a cyclist, and that's okay that you still have
the training wheels on.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
You're on your journey.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
And on this journey you come upon a magic lamp
where a genie comes out and says, Blake, you're a
Philadelphia seventy six ers fan, would you take being in
the lottery for the next eight seasons for a single
title for Philadelphia next year?
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, absolutely? Okay, how about wait, what how
about for eight seasons and didn't get a title?
Speaker 6 (41:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:55):
So yeah, I would okay.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Any team ever in the history of the NBA. I
need you to further clarify this. How many years? How
many years until the answer is no, of being in
the lottery for a single title?
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Okay, I answer for Blake here, It'll be it's more
than I would say, around twelve, maybe fifteen. I don't
know if I would go above. I would go maybe
fifteen years. I would deal with it for a title.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Sorry, we need to bring a super producer Jabari on
who is saying that as a Lakers fan, he would
not trade a title for eight seasons of being in
the lottery.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Well, we're not from the same level, so you're talking.
They just like say.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
They're like another title, we have those we don't have
eight years, is it?
Speaker 4 (42:49):
It kind of does come down to that, like, and
that's that wasn't even intended shade this is I would
be I would be livid.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
If we were in a lottery for eight consecutive years.
Speaker 3 (42:59):
Do you know the song Uncommon People by Pulp? You know,
That's what this sounds like to me. This is like
somebody who's like a generationally wealthy person being like God,
I would just I think it would be just so
fun to like live like the rest.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Of the NBA for eight years in a row. I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
I would rather not win the championship next year.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
If Jafari was a genie, he'd started off by saying, Hey,
it looks like you need a wish.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
Why do I would say fifteen?
Speaker 1 (43:36):
Yeah, fifteen, I would do fifteen seasons in the lottery
for one title. That answer, I've never seen the win
a title.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Yeah, no, nobody, nobody has nobody, has nobody spread.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Alive? Has all? Right?
Speaker 3 (43:53):
The next question on the doc written by Jabari is
give us your prediction on whether embiid remains in Philly
long term plans and if not, where is he headed.
Speaker 1 (44:01):
We're gonna skip that one, blake.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
Someone's traveling to the Philadelphia area and does not want
to get caught up in the tourist traps like Pats
or Gino's. Where do they need to go for truly
authentic Philadelphia meal?
Speaker 1 (44:17):
So I think I've recommended this before, but I stand
by it. Bad Brother an amazing restaurant in Philly, right
in the Fairmount neighborhood. So it's a cool thing in
Philly where there's no zoning whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (44:31):
So you could live next to.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
Theme park for some like down city down the middle
of the city. That's not what this is. This is
a cute neighborhood. And then yeah, they have this amazing
sandwich called a sausage roll. It's like peppers onions, trezo
and peso on it.
Speaker 4 (44:52):
It's so no.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
No, no, no no. The treso is the sausage.
Speaker 4 (44:57):
So the link it's isso so.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
Like ground ground sausage.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
If you mispronounced that it's trees.
Speaker 4 (45:07):
It'sricho.
Speaker 6 (45:09):
Hey, Mike.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Tries out brown sausage, my favorite sandwich.
Speaker 4 (45:16):
So it's crumbled, the meat is crumbled.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
Crumbled with I see, I see no links, no links.
Great beer selection. They do these collabs with like local breweries,
so they'll do tap takeovers and stuff. And but it's
good breweries. It's not like, oh they're probably sponsor show. Hey,
uh the love beer. Yeah, but it's it's fantastic. So
(45:43):
that's in the Fairmount area and that would probably be
my number one.
Speaker 6 (45:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (45:50):
I think he I.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Think he freaking did it.
Speaker 3 (45:52):
Yeah, I think he somehow got every single answer right
by the fact that we disagreed with him in the moment.
Speaker 4 (45:59):
I don't know how you did it.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
And this is why I hate having him on because
even when we try and set him up, he answers
all the questions right just.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
Like boom boom boom. Anyway, we're talking about me, just now,
sorry about Sorry, he's on.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
It's uh well, how's everybody feeling? About the NBA blake
how this is this is a nice? This is a
nice We're free, Like starting on day one of the
playoffs were free. We don't have to we don't have
to suffer through a seventy six ers, you know, playoff
(03:08):
run unbrend.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, if you call a four to two first round
loss a run, then yeah, no, you don't have to
stop through that at all.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
It's it's relaxed.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Sometimes they'd even go to the second round, which was
always rude. Yeah, rude yeah to their fans and yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, it was like a guest overstaying They're welcome.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Are you watching it? Being like yes, low stakes?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Or I mean, how are you even watching it?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Are you just casually watching.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I'm going to say something terrible. Oh no, I'm pulling
for the Warriors. That's where my life's at, where I
think there's something about watching old people have one final
last hurrah that is like it's like comfort food at
this point, just like I know there's certain junk food
that's not good for me, but it's from an arrow
(03:59):
where I felt more safe.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
You know.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
We're like like millennials are like nostalgic for the nineties.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
That's exactly what's happening right now. Yeah, that's exactly like this.
It's like, bring that back.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
What are what are the two thousands pistons doing? Cowboys?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I was gonna say I was also gonna say space cowboys,
Space cowboys. Brian the Editor also in the chat simultaneous
space Cowboys references just one last.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Also, Blake sticks a P in the middle of comfort.
He says, comfort, comfort, comfort.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Wow, I guess I did. Oh that's concerning.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I did that spell the word Blake.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Oh m p p h u R t.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Okay, comfort, okay, no notes for me.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
News from around the league, man, Dame Damian Lillard Achilles.
That was that wasn't like the first quarter, wasn't it?
Just right back and then you're right off?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Uh yeah, terrible does immediately like it. It feels like
Yannis being out of out of Milwaukee is like a
foregone conclusion at this point. So just how how bad
they've looked in the first round in general, and like
how kind of without a chance they like that series
(05:18):
has really seemed heavily to favor the Pacers, and the
Pacers have just looked like a better team pretty consistently
has actually been as somebody who roots for the league.
Against the Celtics has been exciting to me because I
do feel like Yannis is going somewhere that is going
(05:39):
is going to be hard for the Celtics to deal with.
Like all the rumors.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Are next to porzingis yes or that gonna be hard?
I mean that, Blake, don't you dare?
Speaker 6 (05:53):
I would?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I would never The rumors have been thunder, which would
be too much. I don't want them to go to
the thunder. But yeah, but the Knicks and the Rockets
are the two teams that have me excited. I've enjoyed
watching the Knicks in this Piston series and just imagining
Yannis next to Brunson, like Brunson is just so just
(06:16):
such a g such a like bucket down the stretch,
so tough, like just so built for the playoffs, and
then you like have Yiannis as like the second option
on that in that offense is like wild to me
that that would be a lot of fun and I
would love to have a team in the Northeast that
(06:37):
could challenge the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
And then the Rockets obviously would be.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Fun, although I don't I feel like they still would
need like some shooting or I don't know, a shot
creator on the perimeter. Whereas the Knicks, you put them
in there and there immediately I think a title contender.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Mmm, I mean I think you said thunder Knicks, rockets.
I think there's a fourth one probably too.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Oh yeah, because this just happens every time, any pre
event is.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Never being discussed to say it, who whoul the fourth
one be?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
It happened with Luca. I said it as a joke,
I said, Luca.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Coach, what you did?
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Say it as a joke. I will say, I usually
don't get it when people expect it to happen, right, Yeah,
it's it's just like when it's out of door.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It's eight months later. Is when it happens when you
expected months later.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I will say, like, usually you hear rumors that someone's
going somewhere, like it's one of the times that like
rumors do come true. Uh like bron to La even
bron to Miami like that those are both rumored for
like multiple seasons before they happened.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
So the rumor mill on this one.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I feel like I have consistently heard the Knicks that
he's like interested in going to the Knicks and bring
basketball back to New York and then some of his
commercials he's he has like been in New York City.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
So I don't know, I can't. I could see.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Somebody for someone who's been in New York city's been
like I've seen pictures of him in New York City.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
I saw him.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I saw him eating a hot dog.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
There's a where he's like playing on a court. I
feel like, oh no, that was Embiid. Never mind, it
was somebody with an accent.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Did you confuse Embid with Drew Ski or was it? Yeah?
Oh man, Well.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
That made me sad.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
But I just said I don't have to listen to
that ever again.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
It's uh, it is really nice, though, Blake. Doesn't it
feel nice to be free of you know? Watching like
watching Embiid's career has been a little bit like watching
the fuse burned down on a stick of dynamite that
you know it's blow uping your hands. Yeah, and it's
just like it's been. It's exciting, for.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Sure, Oh for sure.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
You don't know what's gonna happen, but.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
You know it's gonna end badly, fairly soon and fairly quickly.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
This is where I'm at mentally with where. I just
watched that Court of Gold or whatever it was called
the Olympics Olympic basketball documentary on Netflix, which, by the way,
I do want to say is my favorite basketball documentary
by a former first couple since Lyndon and Lady Bird
Johnson did one on Dolph Chase. But I don't know
who your audience is.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yeah, it was made by the Johnson's.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Lyndon later was made by the Biens, right, Yes, I
believe it if I remember correctly. But I remember watching
it and love the Steph Curry storyline so much, you know,
like Lebron was kind of a secondary the Durant one
I enjoyed. And then I would get glimpses of Embiid
just not talking to anyone, just hanging out in the back,
(09:44):
just not even doing the chant like on three one
two three USA, just kind of hanging out, and I'm like, oh, yeah,
I can't watch give me yeah one one, two three
not playing for France, which he had every right to do,
but yeah, it's I have been enjoying watching it.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
I've been as a fan.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I've been finding like secondary reason teams to cheer for,
where the Knicks have a lot of Villanova players on there,
so I'm, you know, cheering for the Nova Nicks the villain,
that's right. I was really hurt when they traded even
Chins the Big Regu, the humongousgu but all time nickname
(10:26):
by the way, the Big Ragu for a redheaded basketball
player from Delaware of all places. But yeah, I've been
I don't know, other than the three one of it all,
Like I do still feel like, because it's the Lakers,
that Minnesota series is still probably is easily the most
interesting three to one out of all of them. To me, No,
I'm not really, It's.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Not like you know, reverse yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, with my reverse tears in my series, just basically
like do we want them to win in LA or not?
Speaker 1 (11:04):
You maybe delayed Minnesota to win in LA or not?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Yeah, And I honestly I was talking to Jabari before.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Better to have a loss that is just punctuated like sorry,
not good enough, not even something where you delay the
foregone conclusion to get people thinking like whoa hmm.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Maybe really that's where you're at for right now.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I mean, I will I think it's like any sort
of psychological thing where you have to sort of let
go of the expectation of it because that's gonna hurt
way more, you know. And I think right now, for
where we started and where we ended, I can say,
you know what, Okay, I'm okay with this.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
This is how I wanted it to end, given the
fact that we had Luca Lebron together.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Maybe not, but I'm not. Look, all it's gonna take
is for us to win Game five and I go,
we're back.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Yeah, but I.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Don't know it just we just look so thin, like
especially going down the stretch and JJ Reddick not being
able to so yeah, Like it really felt like he's
just he's look, he's new, is his first season, he's
in the playoffs. The stakes are high, and he's playing
like the stakes are so high that he's like, I
gotta have every single guy out there, even if I
(12:18):
if I play them into the ground.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
It's like the first time you play a video game
and you lose track of like the reload button.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You just keep you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
He's just like, oh, yeah, shoot, people get tired, yeah, yeah, yeah, And.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Then wondering is like, well, we just had our biggest
guys missing layups in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
It's like, yeah, because they played the whole second.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Halfsted yea, Yeah, It's just I mean that's where I
feel bad when, like, I definitely respect his acumen as
a coach, but even there are other times I'm like,
I'm like sweating for Lebron and like he shouldn't be
out there this long. Now, Yeah, he shouldn't be playing
for this this much.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Surely, surely, So anyway, there there, I am with that,
But be th under, hey, at least they swept the
grizzly Is they look as good as I feel like
they are, so I can at least focus on the
number one seeds.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
And just pretend that we weren't really in this at all.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I got a lot going on, man, right now, you
know you have a lott Hey, look man, I got
to get out of here.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Yeah, I'm so busy.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I just saw a rumor that Rob Polinka might trade
his leather jacket for four second round picks. Is that true?
Or is that is the value not there?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
It's true, it's true. It's Corinthian leather.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
I don't feel like there's a ton to say about
the one eight. The calves crushed the heat by fifty
five to sweep the series, like with the Thunder and
the Grizz, Like there were a couple of close games
where the Thunder in Game three, I had to come
back from being down a lot. I forget the number,
but it was like too many to make sense, and
(13:51):
then they won a close one in the game four.
The Calves just like beat the Heat in Game four
by fifty fifty five. Like there's one point where it's
like seventy two to twenty one or so.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
They had a forty Miami, right, Yeah, yeah, I think so, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
They had They had a forty eight point lead at
the end of the third quarter, which was I think
the highest ever in NBA postseason history. And yeah, you
all we saw was really sad, sad pat Riley on
the sidelines being like, we're here, what's happening on the
other side of the league. Oh, what's Jimmy Butler doing
(14:28):
at the Warriors right now?
Speaker 4 (14:29):
Uh huh?
Speaker 3 (14:31):
The Warriors are probably Yeah, I feel like they would
be America's team at this point. Like if the Lakers
go out like Miles expects them to do, I think
they might as well just not show up personally, Like
it sounds like that's like where the Laker's over there,
just like, don't even go to the game.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I mean, no, I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You know how many people are coping so hard with
the stats and stuff, and I look, I don't want to,
like I think, deep down I'm saying my most honest
feeling is I just don't after that we just do
not have what it takes to compete with them right now,
given how just the puffin the personnel is and just not.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Keep using thin miles and yet your best player. Never mind,
I'm not gonna even say anything about it, but Chest, I.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Don't have an agenda.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I don't have an agenda on the agendas to win,
which is why I'm also like, look, if we got
to move Lebron on to bring in some other pieces
to make this thing happen, please let's go.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Let's go.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
The reaction to this series so far like Zach Lowe
response being Zach low who I like a lot, but
I have also laughed a lot at his Like sometimes
his takes on round one are a little over the top,
like that the year that the Heat beat Milwaukee, and
(15:51):
he was like just spent the whole time talking about
how terrible Milwaukee was instead of being like the Heater
actually playing really well and the Heat ended up going
to the finals this time. He was like, I actually
understand the Luca trade the way this guy defends. But
I think I think what he meant was like, there's
(16:13):
a lot of people around the league who understand why
Dallas traded Luca. They just don't understand why they did
it the way they did, which is as a secret
handshake with the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
With the little return. Yeah, Anthony isn't anything.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
But you know, no, no, but it just didn't like other.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Teams had a lot they could have offered you to
set you up for the future, especially, and the.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Lakers would have still been there offering that. It doesn't
like it just doesn't make sense. Like even as a
like knowing anything about business, knowing anything about diplomasy, like
having read a book, I feel like you'd be able
to just be like this does a book? Wait a second,
any subject actually illiterate?
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah, is literate. And that's what I was here to say.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
He uses voice to text for everything. People don't know that. Yeah,
good for him.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah, let's take a quick break. We'll come back, we'll
talk about other series.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
And we're back as somebody who just doesn't want to
see the Celtics when I'm looking for things to be
excited about. I feel like the teams that have looked
better than I expected them too in the playoffs are
basically Indiana has looked awesome so far and like they
were also like last year's playoffs, they overperformed. I feel
(17:42):
like Carlisle's maybe the best coach this side of tylu uh.
And I still don't think that they can beat the
Celtics though, And I don't know the the Calves and
okay see have both been good, but I do feel
like I'm just like not counting it because they were
playing teams that were far worse than them.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
So I don't know. I don't know exactly what.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Let's we'll collect a little more data to see because yeah,
the next round will be instructive for sure, But I
mean what I mean that even the Clippers, man, I'm
sick to my stomach watch. I know it's tough because
it's going to be totally different by the by the
time anyone hears it, but it has The Clippers look
have looked awesome, but then I don't know they might
(18:28):
not even make it out of this series too.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Yeah, yeah, that was that.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Uh that game ending was that an intentional you'll get
overshot that right, and Aaron Gordon just put it back.
It wasn't like it because that was but it was
so perfectly scripted to have that at the buzzer. I
it is the closest buzzer beater I think I've ever
seen to the.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Point where like I saw a lot of people getting mad.
It's like you all need better like high speed cameras.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
It was literally like so framed a frame.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, but it was like yeah, because I think they
were always like felt like it was maybe you know,
twenty four frame whatever, how many frames the second one,
it's like the light you don't you couldn't tell when
exactly it went in relation to the buzzer actually going off,
but it was good enough, and it.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Was like a physics question at that point. It's like
you need I needed like ten frames in between the
two because it was like it's touching his finger one frame,
next frame it's not touching his finger, and the light
is on, Like we need to keep going down. Thin
slicing is with like hat sizes.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I'm in between a seven and a quarter and a
seven and three eighths, so I have to either go
big hat or like tight slightly tiny hat when I
get a haircut in a corner. Yeah, speaking his hats,
what do you think of those horse hats that they
passed out to the Clippers fans in the wall? Did
you see those where they're wearing like horse heads but
not full mask. So that's my problem with it, just
(19:52):
a little to get ahead of my.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Head, like cheesehead, cheese cheese heads, but horses horses to
make yok it be like see, I feel like that
is too much of a like fun joke you would
do with k as opposed to like getting in his head,
you know what I mean. Like it's like, we are
so scared of you as a basketball player. Hey, look
(20:16):
at this. Look over here, here's the thing you like?
Speaker 4 (20:18):
You like?
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah, yeah, be some candy. Right's cute? And I like
it as a fan of the NBA and as a
fan of just like fandom weird stuff. Yeah yeah, as
a if I'm like really trying to scheme as a
Clippers fan, I'm like, this is probably not doing the
thing that we wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
You know, yeah, I always wearing Ayisha Curry mask two
Warriors games when I sit to try to distract stuff
from just anything that you love you love her, yeah, yeah,
you love her so much.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Oh that would actually aspiring. That actually might really mess
you up if it's just his beautiful wife's and then
your body underneath it beautif don't know how to feel
about this beautiful body. Beautiful body, but like beautiful, not
in the way that he's used to right right, thank you?
Turn him all around, you know, I know how to feel.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
That's my goal.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Did you guys watch Nick's pistons?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I did that?
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Last one?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Was the refs really, you know.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Even the lake that Laker game, you know, Game four
also felt some type of way. There was some there
was a trip there at the whatever, but anyway, the pistons,
I really felt bad for them because that should have
been a foul at the end right there.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, it did feel.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
They were just like you know what, whistle never.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
Heard of it, Josh Hart, He's a tough defender.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
I truly am like right down the middle on that
because if you call that, it's like, I don't know,
it is one of those things that it's it's like
kind of a coin flip, and I feel like in
this case, it just does side the game.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
If it happened in the first quarter, that's a foul.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, And so that's where I'm like, if and I
get you don't want to really inform the game with
your calls there, but if that is a foul in
any other context, then it should be even then without
being like but.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
They could it could shift the game.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
But I don't know, I don't know. I think also,
I'm just it's really nice to see Kate Cunningham like
really coming to his own and I'm like, I'm just
like really rooting for them, even though I love the Knicks,
but I've just really found myself really like rooting for
the Pistons.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Like, come on, guys, come on, buddies, you can do this,
but the NBA is more fun when the Pistons are good.
And then I actually, Jack, I have a I want
to talk about twins. When you're done with this statement
that you're about to make, I want to rank the
NBA twins. Oh wow, because of the Thompson's of all time.
I think, So there's the Thompson twins who are both
in the playoffs at the moment of this recording. And
(22:54):
then I didn't know Horace and Harvey Grant were twins.
Here's the Lopez bruh. I thought that which brothers like you?
I think because one more goggles, more different. This guy
has huge eyes and this other guy has normal eyes.
I can't tell, but yeah, I always just and the
(23:15):
Morris twins I think. You know, I'm partial to because
they're from Philly, but I think twins are so good
for basketball in general when they're in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Anyone ever unleashed the twins on the same team, like
playing together at the same time, like those two Australian
twins that went viral freak where they're just like completing
each other's sentences. And like the two women who had
the Exotic birds. Yeah, yeah, the two yeah, just like
that weird mind beld. I feel there were there were
(23:49):
professional tennis like doubles players who like individually were not ranked,
but they were one of the best. I think this
was like the nineties or early its. Uh, like playing
as doubles a doubles pair, they were like one of
the best in the in the world, and it was
like this like sort of weird mind meld where they
always like knew it was like two minds or like
(24:12):
two bodies with one mind.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Brothers.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Yeah, Bob and Mike, Bryan.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
You know where I think I saw a story about them. Uh,
and I'm Jack O'Brien and the reference I made in
every episode and for for no one, nobody's like God,
that guy's Leslie Stall.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
I like the idea he did the Leslie Stall again, Honey.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I work out to that.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
But I think when you do that line, that's how
I do put That's how I put up I throw
up weight.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yeah, I like the idea of a family listening to
this podcast sitting around the dinner.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Table, Honey, did you hear it?
Speaker 6 (24:54):
All? Right?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
But Brunson and Kat have been amazing, Like just some
of the shots they're hitting down down the stretch. It
really did feel like I was rooting for a Pistons
win just because I wanted to see it go to
to and it was. It just felt like this was
(25:15):
not happening like I did. I never felt confident. I
never felt like they were gonna pull it off. Just
Brunson is so tough in the fourth quarter, He's had
his points in fourth quarters in this series. Game one
twelve points, Game two fourteen points, Game three twelve points,
Game four fifteen points. Just incredible.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Hey, you know, look at it on the Pistons, so
that Tobias Harris guy never heard of him?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Game I was like that guys, guy, Wow, Finish.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Is hitting like huge buckets that are like so like
that fade away he hit like falling out of bounds,
like down the stretch was so wild. I don't know,
I'm starting to fall in love with the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
A little bit.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I don't I'm only going to get hurt when they
play the Celtics next round. But I am going to
watch every game of that every minute of that series,
and uh, you know, weep along with Knicks fans.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Show them, you're the goat Knicks player, bro, show them,
show them.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
And then you know it's it's looking like it's gonna
be Pacers calves. Like the Pacers have looked incredible. The
calves have looked really good. But it also again it
looked like regular season good because the heat we're pretty weak.
Is anybody thinking that the Pacers might take him down?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Not bad, bad bad guess alert No, no, no.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
No, probably not. Probably not.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
No, I mean yeah, I'm just based on how I
mean again, like you're saying that the matchup with the
Heat isn't the best display of you know, what their
longevity will be in the postseason.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
But I I think I think they will manage. I
think they will manage. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not too
hot on the Pacers, to be honest, I just don't
like that. I just don't like those. They're new, those
like city uniforms.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, the uniforms I knew.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
I already knew when when you were like, I'm not
too hot on them, I was like, Myles doesn't like
their uniform.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
It feels like from like Nickelodeon, Guts like or something
like it's a Nickelodeon uniform. And then I'm like, all,
I don't know, are you guys the is this Legends
of the Hidden Temple.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Or this is the NBA Playoffs. I can't take this seriously.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
See it seems like a uniform that was designed for
like do you remember in The Fresh Prince where Will
Smith like played basketball, Yeah, for his high school. Like
it feels like it would if they had spent more
time on the uniforms than that, like that would have
been you know it was like a nineties era like
made for TV basketball uniform Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
The bell Air Academy ones.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
They didn't they didn't look like I don't think they
but like that's kind of what I would have expected,
you know, like or or like the football uniforms in
any given Sunday, Like they have like a lot of
te Yeah, just like generic, like uh, costume designer with
like a little too much time to think about this,
(28:18):
and they overthink it.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
So if we use the same logic of the person
that inexplicably wins a March Madness bracket because they just
looked at the uniforms, yeah, by that logic, pacers, I'm.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Sorry, Yeah they're done. Yeah, you're you're cooked. I just
don't like the uniforms. I'm sorry, And that's as might
have been too to make these decisions.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
They've had some cool city connect but like I feel
like they have like almost like a racing like nas
because you know, like Indie or whatever, you know, like
racing uniform. At one point, those Pinstripe ones I loved
from the Jaywen Rose Pacers, you know what I mean,
Like Navy boy with yellow pin stripes. I thought they're
very very classic and slimming of course, you know, with
(28:55):
the pin stripes, and made all the players look lighter.
That's Lucas problem. He needs the GOP player.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Ray Miller actually quite overweight, but he just oh my god,
nobody knows that because he had those strimming pin stripes.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
He was three five pounds.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Right, What the heck just happened?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Why did we just do that?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Yeah, we sinkd up. We're twins.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Yeah, no, on Tuesdays we sink up. Yeah, you didn't
notice identical twins.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
The identical twins were the more of the seventy five.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
You guys just both three and seventy five was the
funniest number.
Speaker 4 (29:28):
Yeah, I was scary. It's so scary.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I think I'm trying to move on from it actively,
Like I think, I think.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
I don't want to know. It was a destination thing
where you like got a flash of it.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Oh never never, never mind.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I said to ninety eight.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Like, we need to advantage the miracle that just happened here.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah, based on that, maybe the Lakers are going to win. Yeah,
because I was, I think we just from Blake and
I just completely just.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
And you're gonna win by three hundred and seventy five point.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Exactly, exactly exactly, we're gonna be shooting three hundred and
seventy five percent from percent from three. Well, now the
delay is a little the magic already.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, I'm realizing that, Like people are just going to
be like, yeah, but that happens all the time when
you're in the same room over over zoom. It's a
little it's weird, it's weird.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
It was weird.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
A tandem bicycle right now, Miles and just doing lapse
around jack lause.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Yeah, And they passed by the mic one at a time,
and just all right, let's check in with the odds
real quick, and then we'll go to the break and
then I just want to uh, we got the rabbit
fire around a question. I just want to put this
guy out out of his misery. Miles, you know what
(30:51):
I'm saying. Hell no, sorry, man, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, that was a little sorry, yell, sorry, but never
mind here, dude, do whatever it was he could have
said before he threatened to kill me.
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Why don't you fill me up? But can you give
me a glass of water?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Kill you with rapid fire.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Keep it keep it running so it gets real cold
from the tap?
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Wait, what's that from the Sopranos when Bobby Baccoalaw's dad
comes out of retirement as a hit man and has
that botched hit job on like that guy pony Boy,
and like he ends up dying leaving after he kills him.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Do you remembering?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
It causes a strain because Bobby Bacala's dad is like
a former mob hit man and he needed he's just
like he's so old as Ahima, He's like, and he
goes to kill this other guy who's his nephew, and
it goes all wrong because he's just like old.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
And then is he the one who tells him to
put a yeah to distract.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Him a glass of water and he's like, keep it
running so it gets really cold.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
And as he's doing that, he gets his gun out
to shoot the guy and it just goes all wrong.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
Didn't cut that iconic panos? All right?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Okay, See is still odds on favor to win the title.
Boston is plus one ninety right behind them, So okay,
See plus one fifty Boston plus one ninety. Calves plus
five point fifty. The Golden State Warriors have moved into
the fourth spot at plus one seventy, which I think
(32:25):
is wishful thinking, but I mean that I guess is reflected.
You know, the odds are moved by what people are
gambling on. I'd love to see the Warriors make a
run here. I don't see them beating the Thunder. I
do think the Clippers have the best chance of beating
the Thunder out of the West, but I don't even
(32:45):
know if they're getting out of the first round. That
series will have had a very important game five by
the time everybody listens to this. But as we as
we discuss it's only two two Clippers plus two fifty.
Minnesota has moved up to plus two thousand, eight hundred
twenty eight hundred, which is a big move that that
was plus four thousand a week ago and the Lakers
(33:09):
are now plus four thousand. It was two plus two
thousand a week ago.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I'm a bet ten thousand, then do it?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
Uh huh, No, you should do that.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I was waiting for.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
That's actually really good. Yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
How it works.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
And yeah, maybe it's I shouldn't be doing that, but
I think you should in this bet calculator just looks
too good.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Get that in now before they change those odds, by
the way, so you should get that that in as
soon as you can.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
You would win plus You would win four hundred and
ten thousand dollars if you want so.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I mean, then that's money.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Hello, exactly, you'd gotta be a fool.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
They would have to win this series and the championship
a team that looks completely gassed right now.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
It's too gas thin five thin, that's right on the pinch.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I mean sometimes thin people get guessed. The New York
Knicks plus four thy five hundred.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
All right, well, hold on, well, hold on, I'm having that.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
What have you bet ten grand on each? The Lakers
and the Knicks over almost a million?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I mean that's they say it's impossible for them to
both pay out.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
Well, but I.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Plus six thousand crazy to me, because they are tied
to two with the Clippers, who are plus twenty five hundred.
The Nuggets are the Yeah, the Nuggets are plus six thousand.
That's I mean, I also think the Clippers have the
better chance of winning the series, but that's still that's
(34:48):
that's good value. As I on this gambling podcast.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Congrets on that trademark, by the way.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Oh thank you, And that's what we call Jack's good
Value pick.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
And then then a week.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
And then the pacers I think are the best value,
Jack's number one value pick of the week plus seven thousand.
Speaker 6 (35:10):
Call it.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
That's great value brought to you, not by great value,
brought to you by best buy. I should have called
it Jack's best buy, and instead we call it Jack's
grape value.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
I made a mistake.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
I thought they would have more advertising money great value
for some reason. H.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
At the end of the commercial, it's just yeah, he
bought thirty seconds of ad time and he filled it.
I bought copy regrets. You bought your own show.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
Guys, you hear that great value?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Add I submit it.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
To great value?
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Was it cool?
Speaker 4 (35:52):
If we you do this?
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Cool?
Speaker 1 (35:57):
All right? Uh? Go to draft Kings?
Speaker 6 (36:00):
Is that the one?
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Anyways?
Speaker 3 (36:02):
Uha? Professional podcast? H. Let's take a quick break, and
when we come back, Blake's gonna get us a nice,
a nice cold glass of water. Let it keep running
so it gets nice and cold like I like it.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
And then he's gonna come back and he's gonna be
in a fire fight, rapid fire round of questioning.
Speaker 6 (36:24):
We'll be right back, and we're back.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Oh, we're back. Nice cold glass of water.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Blake, really appreciate that. Now, when you look out the window,
there's gonna be a real pretty sunset there in a
few hours. Beautiful yep, think of the rabbits.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
So yes, it's time, Blake. You know we love you, man,
but you also know we despise you.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
And that's.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Fire around question.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
It's true.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
They're both the rudest crudest question answer segment in all
of sports podcasting history.
Speaker 4 (37:06):
Blake, we asked you a question.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
You just respond quickly, got it quietly, confidently, silently respond
without saying anything at all, but with your good podcast
answer each of these questions with your eyes.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
And these aren't answered no questions, they're very nuanced. So
those eyes got to do. Do you accept the challenge, Blake?
I accept this challenge to start the clock. Don't laugh, Blake,
because this is serious.
Speaker 6 (37:36):
Man.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
I was watching an old sixty minutes clip and it
made me laugh. I missed everything you just said.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Sorry, I was watching the clip from sixty minutes during
Beanie Baby Mania.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Wild what these people are spending? Okay, we go, Jack,
you want to go first.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Should Oh, Miles, I'd love to go first. No, you
guys don't want to take more time figuring out who
goes first.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
Hey, we'll be the rude one.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Sorry, Please don't be rude to us, Dude, I was
just asking.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
I know, but it's our shoulders, man, just as it's
a weird look when you. I'm sorry to us.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Sometimes I get confused about who plays what role on this,
so I thought it was my anyway, I apologize by
the way.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
Don't rude us.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Well, treat me like that.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Blake thinks he's so great because he's curing autism and Eagles.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Jack, I'm actually done with this.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
No, no, Miles, don't do this. And Jack, thank you.
But Miles, no, no, no, no, don't act like that
about you.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Be rude to you again. Nice try, buddy, that was
a rope, Jack off Lake.
Speaker 3 (38:35):
You have the ability to wave your Harry Potter Collector's
Edition wand, which I know that you have.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Yep, we tailored this for you.
Speaker 4 (38:46):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Yeah, Mike, twenty sixteen Bellatrix wand original edition.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
You got the Elder wand we know you have the
Elder one. I got a whole set.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Yeah, you get to wave your two thousand edition Bellotricks
wand and create your preferred finals matchup for the end
of this tournament. What's your matchup? And then, what do
you actually think it'll be?
Speaker 1 (39:13):
I want Lakers Celtics honestly ideal, OKC Nicks would be.
I feel like so much fun where you have Oka
see as a fan base has always been because it's
it's a city with kind of with one professional sports team,
(39:36):
you know, yes, and then you have the Knicks, which
have been who have been around for forever. But New
York is so basketball rabbid for the Knicks like I
used to feel like. And I love the color orange.
That's actually primarily what it is. I just want to
see as much orange on the court as humanly possible.
So that's why I'm going, Okay see Nicks as my favorite.
(39:56):
What I think it'll be Celtics.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Versus the Celtics somehow.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Versus the Celtics. I think it's going to be an
intra squad Scrimmagles.
Speaker 4 (40:06):
You don't let him use magic Jack.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
And all I gotta say, though, I mean you you
said earlier that The Court of Gold is your favorite
series basketball documentary by a former president. I'm just glad
Bill Simmons isn't a president because obviously the answer would
be Celtic's city.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
And we're saying that Bill as a peer as yeah,
to get his peers.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
That's what I wanted is more more Celtics content during
these plays. Answer is Celtics or Celtics, Celtics or Celtics
versus Celtics.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
What I actually think it's going to be.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
Okay, okay, next next question, go ahead. You're riding your
bike that most people believe you don't use training wheels for,
but we all know, we've seen the photos.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
You do still use training wheels.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Legs are so strong, it's harder to pedal against the
training wheels.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
More wheels and you come quick miles, real quick. Just
so the audience knows, I have training wheels on the
front and the back wheels, so it's a total of
six wheels that I have with like I.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Know, yeah, and I'm glad you know you know that
you have really cagy on your Instagram stories like you're
riding a two wheel bike.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
I just want to say, and this is no shade,
like we were throwing shit about calling out your Harry
Potter wand to form the.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
Question, but you're on your bike. Oh, it sounds like
it's negative. It's not negative. It's perfectly tricks and that's
finby sixteen original one. Yeah, you're where you're at.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
As a cyclist, and that's okay that you still have
the training wheels on.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
You're on your journey.
Speaker 4 (41:31):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
And on this journey you come upon a magic lamp
where a genie comes out and says, Blake, you're a
Philadelphia seventy six ers fan, would you take being in
the lottery for the next eight seasons for a single
title for Philadelphia next year?
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, absolutely? Okay, how about wait, what how
about for eight seasons and didn't get a title?
Speaker 6 (41:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (41:55):
So yeah, I would okay.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
Any team ever in the history of the NBA. I
need you to further clarify this. How many years? How
many years until the answer is no, of being in
the lottery for a single title?
Speaker 1 (42:09):
Okay, I answer for Blake here, It'll be it's more
than I would say, around twelve, maybe fifteen. I don't
know if I would go above. I would go maybe
fifteen years. I would deal with it for a title.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
Sorry, we need to bring a super producer Jabari on
who is saying that as a Lakers fan, he would
not trade a title for eight seasons of being in
the lottery.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Well, we're not from the same level, so you're talking.
They just like say.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
They're like another title, we have those we don't have
eight years, is it?
Speaker 4 (42:49):
It kind of does come down to that, like, and
that's that wasn't even intended shade this is I would
be I would be livid.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
If we were in a lottery for eight consecutive years.
Speaker 3 (42:59):
Do you know the song Uncommon People by Pulp? You know,
That's what this sounds like to me. This is like
somebody who's like a generationally wealthy person being like God,
I would just I think it would be just so
fun to like live like the rest.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Of the NBA for eight years in a row. I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
I would rather not win the championship next year.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
If Jafari was a genie, he'd started off by saying, Hey,
it looks like you need a wish.
Speaker 4 (43:28):
Why do I would say fifteen?
Speaker 1 (43:36):
Yeah, fifteen, I would do fifteen seasons in the lottery
for one title. That answer, I've never seen the win
a title.
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Yeah, no, nobody, nobody has nobody, has nobody spread.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Alive? Has all? Right?
Speaker 3 (43:53):
The next question on the doc written by Jabari is
give us your prediction on whether embiid remains in Philly
long term plans and if not, where is he headed.
Speaker 1 (44:01):
We're gonna skip that one, blake.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
Someone's traveling to the Philadelphia area and does not want
to get caught up in the tourist traps like Pats
or Gino's. Where do they need to go for truly
authentic Philadelphia meal?
Speaker 1 (44:17):
So I think I've recommended this before, but I stand
by it. Bad Brother an amazing restaurant in Philly, right
in the Fairmount neighborhood. So it's a cool thing in
Philly where there's no zoning whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (44:31):
So you could live next to.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
Theme park for some like down city down the middle
of the city. That's not what this is. This is
a cute neighborhood. And then yeah, they have this amazing
sandwich called a sausage roll. It's like peppers onions, trezo
and peso on it.
Speaker 4 (44:52):
It's so no.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
No, no, no no. The treso is the sausage.
Speaker 4 (44:57):
So the link it's isso so.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
Like ground ground sausage.
Speaker 3 (45:04):
If you mispronounced that it's trees.
Speaker 4 (45:07):
It'sricho.
Speaker 6 (45:09):
Hey, Mike.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
Tries out brown sausage, my favorite sandwich.
Speaker 4 (45:16):
So it's crumbled, the meat is crumbled.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
Crumbled with I see, I see no links, no links.
Great beer selection. They do these collabs with like local breweries,
so they'll do tap takeovers and stuff. And but it's
good breweries. It's not like, oh they're probably sponsor show. Hey,
uh the love beer. Yeah, but it's it's fantastic. So
(45:43):
that's in the Fairmount area and that would probably be
my number one.
Speaker 6 (45:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (45:50):
I think he I.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Think he freaking did it.
Speaker 3 (45:52):
Yeah, I think he somehow got every single answer right
by the fact that we disagreed with him in the moment.
Speaker 4 (45:59):
I don't know how you did it.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
And this is why I hate having him on because
even when we try and set him up, he answers
all the questions right just.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
Like boom boom boom. Anyway, we're talking about me, just now,
sorry about Sorry, he's on.
Speaker 4 (46:15):

more money than he wouldn't have to raise stuff, but
