(00:00):
M kah, Hey, what's goingon, Sal? You want to pour
(00:41):
me a good one? Yeah,I'm still waiting for Jake. Jake is
a pooto. It's up brow,I hear he is, Sal the regular
B word. Do you ever thinkyou have to poop and you don't have
to poop? Yeah? Too often. Actually had one of those mom to
see the other day. I thinkI'm at the point now with my body
(01:02):
where I feel like I have toand I don't. Sometimes just you know,
getting older, and I go siton the toilet and it's not just
to get away from my kids,because dads do that. Dads do that
where we sit on our phones andwe go in the bathroom and we have
an escape plan for a while.But yeah, no, I had one
of those moments. Well, speakingof you, but I'm good man,
(01:23):
speaking of dads and escape plans.My dad has a Facebook and he's active
on it, like he looks atit every single day, probably multiple times
a day, but he's not activeon it commenting. But last night I
took him to dinner and we werejust catching up and talking to and whatever,
and he actually says that he wentand commented on somebody's post which flabbergasted
(01:46):
me, absolutely flabbergasted me, becauseagain he doesn't really comment. And one
of the things that he said isthat whatever the post was, the context
was whomever posted its generation did notpass down the value to the next generation,
who didn't pass down the values tothe next generation and the next generation
and so on, right, andbasically how their life and their legacy has
(02:10):
not been passed on in a respectfulmanner. And my dad actually argued with
it, and he said, it'sour fault. It's our fault because the
things that we found important we didn'tshare with the next generation. And he
and I were talking quite a bitlast night on that in a sense where
he was taught I was basically,I was basically arguing the point that technology
(02:35):
for our generation, for you andI for our kids, technology inhibits a
lot of that happening. And hewas basically reflecting on Look, when I
was growing up, my dad speakinghere, When I was growing up,
everybody knew everybody. The neighbors kneweach other. They would sit out on
the front porch, they would talkto each other, all the kids play
with each other, et cetera.Now we live in a time frame man,
where we make our kids scared togo outside. We you know,
(03:00):
you and I we had to behome by the time that the lights went
off, right. But now it'sall based on we have to track your
location, we have to know everythingabout you, we have to make sure
that you're safe. It's very muchprotected, but it's also very much technological
now too. And I don't know, just a funny thought, man.
I just think that sometimes as muchas you would like to pass down a
tradition or pass down a way oflife, something new can also prevent it
(03:24):
as well. Things need to change. But I think technology is also a
crouch. Like I was watching amovie. We had a family movie night
last time. We watched that LyleLao Crocodile and they have a GPS tracker
in their son. So of courseit's either're like, where is he?
And like in most movies, it'dbe like either happenstance they know or they
have to figure it out, andinstead they just opened an app. Yeah,
(03:44):
they're like, he's in Times Square? Why is he there? But
it also made me think Lebron Jamesset the point record last night, right,
And there's a cool photo that wentout of everybody in the stands and
every mother has their phone out exceptPhil Knight from Nike, who is sitting
(04:05):
there enjoying the moment. And Ihave had this comment, and me and
you have talked about this, andI've talked about this multiply, me and
my wife when we watch like youknow, hockey or you know World Series
or anything, like we watched theStanley Cup a couple of years ago,
and I'll never forget when they werebringing the cup out. My wife's like,
look, how many idiots are filmingthis? And I'm like, yeah,
(04:26):
she goes, they don't live inthe moment. And people don't do
that anymore. They don't live inthe moment. And I explain this to
my kids all the time, andbecause and let's be honest with theirselves.
Be word, when you record somethingon your phone, how often have you
went back and actually watched it?Maybe a handful of times at most.
But that's my point. Yeah,most people like have so much stort,
Like I delete photos like crazy.I do. I upload them to a
(04:46):
computer to have a storage device forcertain ones, yes, but I delete
them all And people are like,how can you delete all the It's like
because I can upload them either toa site or another program, or just
get rid of them. Like Ilive in the moment more, I don't
take I take photo of my kidsand stuff for memories, but I don't
I'm not sitting there on my damnphone all the time with everything, and
that annoys me. Like when Isee the Stanley Cup coming out and people
(05:09):
are at the game, at thechampionship game, it's like, relish the
fucking moment you're in. Stop recordingit, right, Like just stop?
And I agree with that. Ithink that, you know, there's as
an example, there's been a fewconcerts that I go to then I've got
you know, a cell phone upbecause I do think that i've been to
if well, I know that I'vebeen to a few concerts that I actually
(05:29):
want to go back and see,and I will go back and I'll watch
those or like sporting events like whenmy daughter was in softball, I would
I would take you know, videoof her while she's up up at the
plate or you know, trying totrying to get pictures, yeah, you
know, scores and stuff to tryto relive those moments. Generically, though,
like if I'm at a if I'mat a comedy show. Obviously,
most comedy shows they don't allow yourphones, but we're a sporting event.
(05:53):
I really like I might take somepictures beforehand, but while the game is
going on, I really try tonot do that. For the I want
to pay attention. I'm in it, I'm living through it. I want
to make sure that we're good.And I feel like there's a lot of
people who live life looking through aphone anymore. Yeah, I mean,
I'm not shitting on the idea thatyou can't do that. I mean,
(06:14):
like I've said, I've recorded thingsand haven't always looked back, but most
of time I'll either upload or justget rid of it. But I also
just try to relish what I'm doingbecause I feel and man, maybe I'm
different than most people, but ifI film something, I'm not going to
sit there and rewatch it nineteen timeslike I might watch my kids. And
I mean, we're also from ageneration where our parents had those giant cam
corners and follow us around for awhile, and so I think we're into
(06:34):
that fact, like we need tovideograph everything of ourselves. I mean,
I remember one of my favorite greatgrandpa, mom, this is when he
pulled out the eight millimeter and hadall these old films of the family.
But I also think it was likethey'd be like, remember this birthday from
nineteen, like you know, fiftysix and it was Jeanie's third birthday,
and like that's the film the familywatches a family like it wasn't. Oh,
(06:58):
I have nineteen like the last weekof my child, Like like it's
just in their face all the time, Like I enjoy when my two year
old walks up and tells me phonedown. It's like, okay, cool,
let's just be us and do that. We have a rule. When
me and my wife got to dinner, we put our phones in her purse,
like we just don't fucking touch them. And it was just good to
see Phil Knight just enjoying Lebron scoringwhile everybody else was filming it, knowing
(07:23):
that half these motherfuckers are never gonnawatch it. I have a rant that
type of stuff. I have arant on Lebron. But before we do
that, sal, let's give usanother refilm. Here's my rant, Jake.
I think that when it comes tosporting records like this, sometimes they
deserve an asterisk. And what Imean by this is first off, Pete
(07:46):
Rose should be in the Baseball Hallof Fame, the fact that he's not,
right, So, I you know, there's that. But records are
made to be broken. But westart looking at certain records, records that
may or may not ever be broken. Right, So like the nineteen seventy
two Dolphins. The nineteen seventy twoDolphins I think had eleven or twelve regular
(08:07):
season games, maybe ten regular seasongames, and then they win in the
playoffs and they go and they winthe Super Bowl. Well, the Patriots
back in seven or whenever it waswhen they went undefeated, they ended up
winning undefeated the entire season, andin essence, they won more consecutive games
than the Dolphins did. The onlydifference was is they didn't win the championship
(08:28):
because they lost to the New YorkGiants. I think that their effort that
year should be the same as theseventy two Dolphins because they won that many
games. Right, So when itcomes to Lebron, it's Lebron's record,
Like, I do not dispute thatLebron scored that many points. It's his,
(08:48):
but I do think that it's notin the same context because Kareem was
able to do it in less yearswith less help, with less being able
to work on his body with withwith less. He was able to do
it with less. And so Ido think that when we're comparing records like
that, it's kind of like comparingdick sizes. I just think that the
(09:09):
girth is different. You might havethe same the same dick size, but
the girth is entirely different. You'rewrong. Kareem also played against less.
I mean he didn't have to domuch. He stood under a basket and
was able to skyhook his way toimmortality with that. Not that he was
a bad player, I'm not sayingthat, but I mean, I guess
(09:31):
the one reason men love sports wewere is because they're finite. And what
I mean by that in the senseis that a record happens. It happened
within a time frame, within agame. That's it. You can ar
like, you can argue asterisks andsteroids and all those little nuances of it,
but at the end of the day, well, it's the only team
to go undefeated in football. Itdoesn't matter. It doesn't matter if they
(09:52):
change the schedule, like it's neverprobably gonna happen. Again all the way
through. The Patriots tried it failedand maybe it was. But I'm I'm
I'm sick of the point of puttingasterisks on everything because I mean, I
don't think you have to equate everythingbecause games change, technology changes, lifestyles
change. I mean, Lebron ittook him longer, but also he's going
(10:13):
to play longer than Kareem. Imean I can still see him playing five
more years. Well that's because andso, yeah, does these pros take
rest days? That's fine, ButI don't agree with that. I don't
agree with that. But what I'msaying is I'm not going to discount the
record because he's still got Well letme let me just clarify here. I'm
not trying to discount a record.Okay, the record's his, it's it's
but you want an on it.I do think that context matters when it
(10:37):
comes to records. I don't agree. I don't. I just can't,
dude, I can't. I don'tsee the point of putting an asterisk.
The only time I've ever seen apoint of an asterisk is when changed that
But I mean when they and it'sall baseball, it's when they change the
amount of games in pro baseball,and the reason was it wasn't like like
(11:00):
football now where they added two moreat the end of the season, maybe
two more then. I mean,they added so many fucking games, Like
there's too many in baseball right nowlike football. Next year said hey,
we're gonna have a thirty four gameseason. Yeah, we're probably gonna need
a bunch of fucking asterisks around there. Okay, because now you're playing double
the amount for you get what I'msaying Like that, I can see your
point if that was happening, Butbasketball's had the same amount of games.
(11:22):
The game style has changed to whereit's he plays both sides of the ball.
I mean, he's number four andassists he's in I think he's the
number one for buzzer beaters in playoffsand finals. I mean, he's he's
one of the greatest to ever doit. In my opinion, he is
the greatest player of all time.And that's another argument for another day about
(11:43):
between him and MJ. But I'mnot gonna I'm not gonna put an asterisk
on it because I think it's withinit's still within the timeframe of the game,
and a guy can last one seasonand a guy can last thirty seasons,
and you can't say, well,you didn't do it in eighteen even
though it's based on a career.It's a career record, and you can't
(12:05):
you can't say that everybody has tohave the same Now, now, mind
you be worried if they said everybotplayer can only play fifteen years like college,
like they can only play like threeor four years. Right, then
you're done. Okay, yeah,then you could do that, but that's
not what they do. It's it'sover your career. And if you are
the top champion of that, goodfor you. I was listening to the
radio the other day and I turnedit onto the station called k Salt,
(12:30):
and they had a segment called theover the Line segment, and there was
some douchebag on there that was yellingover the line, over the line,
over the line. That reminds meof you. You're a fucking douchebag when
it comes to this shit. BecauseI sit here and I listen to you,
and I'm just okay, you makedecent points, but you said that
(12:50):
Lebron is the best to ever doit. Like, I don't want to
argue this right now, but Ijust want to put that in context.
You said, Lebron's okay, Okay, then I'm officially not talking with you
about sports anymore. Put an asteriskon that too. Fuck I'm gonna play
an asterisk on that argument. Mybiggest argument back in the day was that
(13:11):
whoever made the better Space Jam wasthe better player of all time. Jo
Lebron fucked me over on that oneso hard, because Space Jam Legacy is
a fucking abomination of a film.So what about what do you say to
the people that think that Kobe isthe best? They're wrong. I agree
with you, I agree with you. I here's the thing I think.
I think that was one of thosethings. That's that's the the super Bowl
(13:35):
just happened moment like thing in mybrain, like because we had we had
MJ, we still have Lebron,and Kobe was the in between right right,
and Kobe was Kobe was like almostlike a clone of MJ coming out
like in the sense like gameplay,like styleized like looks all that. And
I think people get lost in themoment of that's the most recent thing,
so they can equate to that,and they fell in love with him,
(14:00):
and I think people want to havean argument with another player right now,
right like as you hear people noware saying on onto Coombo or whatever Johnas
And last year it was or acouple of years ago was remember Kyrie Irvans
the greatest and Durant was the greatest, And then I think they always want
to have that other third factor,so they're not just talking about the two.
(14:22):
Well, because you were talking aboutthe bait well not recently, but
we've talked about the Big three withMagic and Byrd and Michael, right and
even in the even in the Michaeldocumentary, like there was the point where
Magic's like, Okay, this isthe future, right I I do agree
with that. In related sports news, Brady retired finally maybe officially kind of
(14:43):
we'll we'll have to see. ButI read an article recently that said that
Peyton Manning actually chose when he wasleaving the Colts to actually go to the
Broncos to stay in the AFC forthe pure purpose that he's like, well,
I'm gonna have to play Brady eventually, like if he gets the Super
Bowl, I might as well playhim during the year. And that to
(15:05):
me is a competitive fucking dog styleof comment, like you want to make
sure that you play him during theyear. I think that Brady's probably the
best to ever do it. Ijust don't know that it's disputed. I
mean some people can say Joe Montanaand I completely agree with that too.
Where does Peyton rank for you?Is he is he one of the best
to do it? Like? Topfive? Yeah, he's top five for
(15:28):
me. Brady's number one. Andit's not just because Rings. I'm not
somebody that always equates Rings to it, but for what Brady has done and
his got game style and gameplay andeffort. Is the greatest. Manny I'd
say if I ran, and Ican't do it right now off the top
of my head. But he's eitherfour or five. Okay, that's fair.
(15:52):
He used to be my favorite whenhe played against Brady. I always
root it for Manny. I likedManning better, but it was one of
those things I finally had to bowdown, like he's better. Yeah,
Like it was one of the thingsI wanted Manning to be better than Brady.
I think we all did. Ithink everybody fucking everybody that watched Peyton
Manning just falls in love with him. Yeah, he's funny, he's great,
he's you know, he's he's thehappy, go lucky guy that you
(16:17):
root for. Yeah, and Bradywas sort of that guy at that point
where you're just like, fucking thisguy ever lose. And I think that
was the problem there. Right,it's an in and of error for our
generation though. I've been saying thisfor years and we've talked about it,
that all these quarterbacks are finally retiring, all these quarterbacks are leaving, and
now we're waiting for the new ageones and they're sort of still in that
in between phase, like we knowwho's the best right now in the league,
(16:40):
but like who's gonna continue and keepgrowing? Well, so, I
think so we're talking about that generationwe had what Roethlisberger, Rivers, Eli
Manning, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Matty Ice maybe
as as some of the better ones. I guess you could put Tard Manny
in there to Eli. I said, but yeah, so so, but
(17:03):
you're you're looking at that now thatnow that those now that everybody's been retired,
you're looking at You've got Mahomes,You've got Burrow, because Burrow's legit.
There's I think that there's some question. I don't think it's I don't
think it's wrong to question it,but I think that the people are wrong
questioning it. I think that thatAlan out of Buffalo is also really good.
(17:25):
Herbert Herbert is also really good.Yeah, And I think that the
guy in Jacksonville Sunshine, he's alsogoing to be pretty decent too, Trevor
Lawrence. Yeah. So I mean, I I think that the I think
the next generation of quarterbacks is fine. You know, enough of the sports
talk, though, What colored balloonsdo you like? I don't like balloons
(17:47):
at all. I don't like balloons. I'm sick of hearing about balloons.
This week, we were seriously,like everybody talking about this Chinese balloon.
It was floating all over the place. And then I now, I fell
down the route. Here's how pissedoff I was. I hated that everybody
was talking about it, and thenI fell on the rabbit hole to like
learn about it. Because of course, I was like, well, if
I'm going to have a conversation,I might as well learn. So then
I've watched the conspiracy theories like onthe other end, and then I watched
(18:07):
the other end of the spectrum andI've followed the gamut where I'm just so
over it. I don't care,Like I'm laughing at this part. The
super Right Ring friends of mine arelike, you know, they're mad,
like pissed off, They're like kindof plaining right like. And then the
other guys are like, like,it's just a balloon, Like who cares,
Like, wow, we shot aballoon, And I'm just like,
(18:29):
you know, I'm in the middle, just going I hate everybody, I
hate everybody, and I hate balloons. I'll just say that I hate everybody
and I hate balloons. That's that'sall I have to say on this match,
Jake. I am not going toargue with you at all because I
think at the end of it,I think it's stupid the entire way around.
Should the balloon have been over us? No? Should it have been
shot down earlier? Potentially, Butat the end of the day, like
(18:51):
we are a society of entitled pricks. We were a society that will call
people bigots for buying Harry Potter game. Where a society that will call people
racist for you know, not shootinga balloon down or shooting a balloon down.
And we are so bipolar as asociety that it really just drives me
(19:12):
nuts. But you know, Idon't know. I think I think that
the world is just a bad,bad place right now, and that's where
I think the sports kind of giveus a release. I think, you
know, I really want to getinto hockey. He was talking with Aaron
from me. I had to saya podcast. He's talking about rugby.
I'm all about that life. Let'slet's get back into some good ship and
(19:34):
start living life again. Agreed,buddy on that note, cheers. Thank
you sal as always, and thankyou for all the fucking listeners. And
Jake's got the bill. Sal
M kah, Hey, what's goingon, Sal? You want to pour
(00:41):
me a good one? Yeah,I'm still waiting for Jake. Jake is
a pooto. It's up brow,I hear he is, Sal the regular
B word. Do you ever thinkyou have to poop and you don't have
to poop? Yeah? Too often. Actually had one of those mom to
see the other day. I thinkI'm at the point now with my body
(01:02):
where I feel like I have toand I don't. Sometimes just you know,
getting older, and I go siton the toilet and it's not just

to pay attention. I'm in it, I'm living through it. I want
to make sure that we're good.And I feel like there's a lot of
people who live life looking through aphone anymore. Yeah, I mean,
I'm not shitting on the idea thatyou can't do that. I mean,
(06:14):
like I've said, I've recorded thingsand haven't always looked back, but most
of time I'll either upload or justget rid of it. But I also
just try to relish what I'm doingbecause I feel and man, maybe I'm
different than most people, but ifI film something, I'm not going to
sit there and rewatch it nineteen timeslike I might watch my kids. And
I mean, we're also from ageneration where our parents had those giant cam
corners and follow us around for awhile, and so I think we're into
(06:34):
that fact, like we need tovideograph everything of ourselves. I mean,
I remember one of my favorite greatgrandpa, mom, this is when he
pulled out the eight millimeter and hadall these old films of the family.
But I also think it was likethey'd be like, remember this birthday from
nineteen, like you know, fiftysix and it was Jeanie's third birthday,
and like that's the film the familywatches a family like it wasn't. Oh,
(06:58):
I have nineteen like the last weekof my child, Like like it's
just in their face all the time, Like I enjoy when my two year
old walks up and tells me phonedown. It's like, okay, cool,
let's just be us and do that. We have a rule. When
me and my wife got to dinner, we put our phones in her purse,
like we just don't fucking touch them. And it was just good to
see Phil Knight just enjoying Lebron scoringwhile everybody else was filming it, knowing
(07:23):
that half these motherfuckers are never gonnawatch it. I have a rant that
type of stuff. I have arant on Lebron. But before we do
that, sal, let's give usanother refilm. Here's my rant, Jake.
I think that when it comes tosporting records like this, sometimes they
deserve an asterisk. And what Imean by this is first off, Pete
(07:46):
Rose should be in the Baseball Hallof Fame, the fact that he's not,
right, So, I you know, there's that. But records are
made to be broken. But westart looking at certain records, records that
may or may not ever be broken. Right, So like the nineteen seventy
two Dolphins. The nineteen seventy twoDolphins I think had eleven or twelve regular
(08:07):
season games, maybe ten regular seasongames, and then they win in the
playoffs and they go and they winthe Super Bowl. Well, the Patriots
back in seven or whenever it waswhen they went undefeated, they ended up
winning undefeated the entire season, andin essence, they won more consecutive games
than the Dolphins did. The onlydifference was is they didn't win the championship
(08:28):
because they lost to the New YorkGiants. I think that their effort that
year should be the same as theseventy two Dolphins because they won that many
games. Right, So when itcomes to Lebron, it's Lebron's record,
Like, I do not dispute thatLebron scored that many points. It's his,
(08:48):
but I do think that it's notin the same context because Kareem was
able to do it in less yearswith less help, with less being able
to work on his body with withwith less. He was able to do
it with less. And so Ido think that when we're comparing records like
that, it's kind of like comparingdick sizes. I just think that the
(09:09):
girth is different. You might havethe same the same dick size, but
the girth is entirely different. You'rewrong. Kareem also played against less.
I mean he didn't have to domuch. He stood under a basket and
was able to skyhook his way toimmortality with that. Not that he was
a bad player, I'm not sayingthat, but I mean, I guess
(09:31):
the one reason men love sports wewere is because they're finite. And what
I mean by that in the senseis that a record happens. It happened
within a time frame, within agame. That's it. You can ar
like, you can argue asterisks andsteroids and all those little nuances of it,
but at the end of the day, well, it's the only team
to go undefeated in football. Itdoesn't matter. It doesn't matter if they
(09:52):
change the schedule, like it's neverprobably gonna happen. Again all the way
through. The Patriots tried it failedand maybe it was. But I'm I'm
I'm sick of the point of puttingasterisks on everything because I mean, I
don't think you have to equate everythingbecause games change, technology changes, lifestyles
change. I mean, Lebron ittook him longer, but also he's going
(10:13):
to play longer than Kareem. Imean I can still see him playing five
more years. Well that's because andso, yeah, does these pros take
rest days? That's fine, ButI don't agree with that. I don't
agree with that. But what I'msaying is I'm not going to discount the
record because he's still got Well letme let me just clarify here. I'm
not trying to discount a record.Okay, the record's his, it's it's
but you want an on it.I do think that context matters when it
(10:37):
comes to records. I don't agree. I don't. I just can't,
dude, I can't. I don'tsee the point of putting an asterisk.
The only time I've ever seen apoint of an asterisk is when changed that
But I mean when they and it'sall baseball, it's when they change the
amount of games in pro baseball,and the reason was it wasn't like like
(11:00):
football now where they added two moreat the end of the season, maybe
two more then. I mean,they added so many fucking games, Like
there's too many in baseball right nowlike football. Next year said hey,
we're gonna have a thirty four gameseason. Yeah, we're probably gonna need
a bunch of fucking asterisks around there. Okay, because now you're playing double
the amount for you get what I'msaying Like that, I can see your
point if that was happening, Butbasketball's had the same amount of games.
(11:22):
The game style has changed to whereit's he plays both sides of the ball.
I mean, he's number four andassists he's in I think he's the
number one for buzzer beaters in playoffsand finals. I mean, he's he's
one of the greatest to ever doit. In my opinion, he is
the greatest player of all time.And that's another argument for another day about
(11:43):
between him and MJ. But I'mnot gonna I'm not gonna put an asterisk
on it because I think it's withinit's still within the timeframe of the game,
and a guy can last one seasonand a guy can last thirty seasons,
and you can't say, well,you didn't do it in eighteen even
though it's based on a career.It's a career record, and you can't
(12:05):
you can't say that everybody has tohave the same Now, now, mind
you be worried if they said everybotplayer can only play fifteen years like college,
like they can only play like threeor four years. Right, then
you're done. Okay, yeah,then you could do that, but that's
not what they do. It's it'sover your career. And if you are
the top champion of that, goodfor you. I was listening to the
radio the other day and I turnedit onto the station called k Salt,
(12:30):
and they had a segment called theover the Line segment, and there was
some douchebag on there that was yellingover the line, over the line,
over the line. That reminds meof you. You're a fucking douchebag when
it comes to this shit. BecauseI sit here and I listen to you,
and I'm just okay, you makedecent points, but you said that
(12:50):
Lebron is the best to ever doit. Like, I don't want to
argue this right now, but Ijust want to put that in context.
You said, Lebron's okay, Okay, then I'm officially not talking with you
about sports anymore. Put an asteriskon that too. Fuck I'm gonna play
an asterisk on that argument. Mybiggest argument back in the day was that
(13:11):
whoever made the better Space Jam wasthe better player of all time. Jo
Lebron fucked me over on that oneso hard, because Space Jam Legacy is
a fucking abomination of a film.So what about what do you say to
the people that think that Kobe isthe best? They're wrong. I agree
with you, I agree with you. I here's the thing I think.
I think that was one of thosethings. That's that's the the super Bowl
(13:35):
just happened moment like thing in mybrain, like because we had we had
MJ, we still have Lebron,and Kobe was the in between right right,
and Kobe was Kobe was like almostlike a clone of MJ coming out
like in the sense like gameplay,like styleized like looks all that. And
I think people get lost in themoment of that's the most recent thing,
so they can equate to that,and they fell in love with him,
(14:00):
and I think people want to havean argument with another player right now,
right like as you hear people noware saying on onto Coombo or whatever Johnas
And last year it was or acouple of years ago was remember Kyrie Irvans
the greatest and Durant was the greatest, And then I think they always want
to have that other third factor,so they're not just talking about the two.
(14:22):
Well, because you were talking aboutthe bait well not recently, but
we've talked about the Big three withMagic and Byrd and Michael, right and
even in the even in the Michaeldocumentary, like there was the point where
Magic's like, Okay, this isthe future, right I I do agree
with that. In related sports news, Brady retired finally maybe officially kind of
(14:43):
we'll we'll have to see. ButI read an article recently that said that
Peyton Manning actually chose when he wasleaving the Colts to actually go to the
Broncos to stay in the AFC forthe pure purpose that he's like, well,
I'm gonna have to play Brady eventually, like if he gets the Super
Bowl, I might as well playhim during the year. And that to
(15:05):
me is a competitive fucking dog styleof comment, like you want to make
sure that you play him during theyear. I think that Brady's probably the
best to ever do it. Ijust don't know that it's disputed. I
mean some people can say Joe Montanaand I completely agree with that too.
Where does Peyton rank for you?Is he is he one of the best
to do it? Like? Topfive? Yeah, he's top five for
(15:28):
me. Brady's number one. Andit's not just because Rings. I'm not
somebody that always equates Rings to it, but for what Brady has done and
his got game style and gameplay andeffort. Is the greatest. Manny I'd
say if I ran, and Ican't do it right now off the top
of my head. But he's eitherfour or five. Okay, that's fair.
(15:52):
He used to be my favorite whenhe played against Brady. I always
root it for Manny. I likedManning better, but it was one of
those things I finally had to bowdown, like he's better. Yeah,
Like it was one of the thingsI wanted Manning to be better than Brady.
I think we all did. Ithink everybody fucking everybody that watched Peyton
Manning just falls in love with him. Yeah, he's funny, he's great,
he's you know, he's he's thehappy, go lucky guy that you
(16:17):
root for. Yeah, and Bradywas sort of that guy at that point
where you're just like, fucking thisguy ever lose. And I think that
was the problem there. Right,it's an in and of error for our
generation though. I've been saying thisfor years and we've talked about it,
that all these quarterbacks are finally retiring, all these quarterbacks are leaving, and
now we're waiting for the new ageones and they're sort of still in that
in between phase, like we knowwho's the best right now in the league,
(16:40):
but like who's gonna continue and keepgrowing? Well, so, I
think so we're talking about that generationwe had what Roethlisberger, Rivers, Eli
Manning, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Matty Ice maybe
as as some of the better ones. I guess you could put Tard Manny
in there to Eli. I said, but yeah, so so, but
(17:03):
you're you're looking at that now thatnow that those now that everybody's been retired,
you're looking at You've got Mahomes,You've got Burrow, because Burrow's legit.
There's I think that there's some question. I don't think it's I don't
think it's wrong to question it,but I think that the people are wrong
questioning it. I think that thatAlan out of Buffalo is also really good.
(17:25):
Herbert Herbert is also really good.Yeah, And I think that the
guy in Jacksonville Sunshine, he's alsogoing to be pretty decent too, Trevor
Lawrence. Yeah. So I mean, I I think that the I think
the next generation of quarterbacks is fine. You know, enough of the sports
talk, though, What colored balloonsdo you like? I don't like balloons
(17:47):
at all. I don't like balloons. I'm sick of hearing about balloons.
This week, we were seriously,like everybody talking about this Chinese balloon.
It was floating all over the place. And then I now, I fell
down the route. Here's how pissedoff I was. I hated that everybody
was talking about it, and thenI fell on the rabbit hole to like
learn about it. Because of course, I was like, well, if
I'm going to have a conversation,I might as well learn. So then
I've watched the conspiracy theories like onthe other end, and then I watched
(18:07):
the other end of the spectrum andI've followed the gamut where I'm just so
over it. I don't care,Like I'm laughing at this part. The
super Right Ring friends of mine arelike, you know, they're mad,
like pissed off, They're like kindof plaining right like. And then the
other guys are like, like,it's just a balloon, Like who cares,
Like, wow, we shot aballoon, And I'm just like,
(18:29):
you know, I'm in the middle, just going I hate everybody, I
hate everybody, and I hate balloons. I'll just say that I hate everybody
and I hate balloons. That's that'sall I have to say on this match,
Jake. I am not going toargue with you at all because I
think at the end of it,I think it's stupid the entire way around.
Should the balloon have been over us? No? Should it have been
shot down earlier? Potentially, Butat the end of the day, like
(18:51):
we are a society of entitled pricks. We were a society that will call
people bigots for buying Harry Potter game. Where a society that will call people
racist for you know, not shootinga balloon down or shooting a balloon down.
And we are so bipolar as asociety that it really just drives me
(19:12):
nuts. But you know, Idon't know. I think I think that
the world is just a bad,bad place right now, and that's where
I think the sports kind of giveus a release. I think, you
know, I really want to getinto hockey. He was talking with Aaron
from me. I had to saya podcast. He's talking about rugby.
I'm all about that life. Let'slet's get back into some good ship and
(19:34):
start living life again. Agreed,buddy on that note, cheers. Thank
you sal as always, and thankyou for all the fucking listeners. And
Jake's got the bill. Sal
