Speaker 1 (00:11):
What is going on?

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Clippers fans, Welcome to a very random Clips and Dip Live.
This is pregame before the game against the Nuggets on
November twelfth. We're gonna do an episode on Friday still,
but we got some more terrible news today on Wednesday,
November twelfth, the day of bad news, of course, the

(00:35):
initial bad news was that Bradley Beal is out for
the season, which is unfortunate, and I hope he heals
up soon.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
I can't imagine how much it hurts to do that
to your hip. Seems like incredibly painful.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
But his season is over and the Clippers are now
faced with this nightmare of having Bradley Beal out.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
What's up?

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Punk's gone wrong? And now we also have Kawhi Leonard
who has more than a sprained ankle?

Speaker 1 (01:15):
It is now what was the official.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
From Lawrence frank foot sprain and ankle sprain. He is
on the road trip, which is good. I said I
would freak out if he didn't travel, but he traveled,
so they're going to continue to monitor his process. Shout
out to Adam oslind he did live earlier when the
Beal stuff broke.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
I think Will might hop on but I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
They say the bell injury happened in the Sun's game
in the second quarter.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
There's a video of it. It looks like painful. I
don't know. It sucks.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
The Kauhi thing is incredibly frustrating too. Trying to find
some positives. There's not a lot right now.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
It's been a.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Difficult Wednesday for Clippers fans. I think it's fair to
say so that sucks, and chances don't feel good.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
For tonight against the Nuggets.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
That being said, so here's kind of what I wanted
to address a little bit. Trouser J Slacks love the
name said, this game is going to be painful to watch.
I can just feel it. I might be jumping the
gun here, but I am at the point where today
was brutal for the rest of the season outlook wise,

(02:38):
so we can wash any hopes of a high seed
away safely. And I understand if you don't want to
rock with that or with where I'm going with this,
but I don't think today will be painful because I mean, yeah,
losing is not going to feel good. I'm not trying

(03:00):
to say losing feels good, but the word painful, I
guess is where I'm hung up right, because it's like, hey,
let's hope Cam Christy looks good. Collins is going to
be with the starters when Kawhi gets back. We hope
he's in a good rhythm. I'm trying to find some positives.
And this is not an attack at you, specifically, tarser J.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Slacks. I just think now it's time we got to
shift focus for what success means this season because it's
not what we thought it was. It's not a top
three seed, it probably not a.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Top four seed. Call me crazy, but it You just
got to adjust expectations.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
It was so what a shit day.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Also just getting that getting that notific, You're like out
for the year, Like, what the hell is this? More
minutes for the young player? Yeah, right, Cam Christy's got potential.
Maybe Bogey figures it out. Tyler did say it's.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Gonna be kind of by committee for the shooting guard.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Stuff, which we've all been through before and it usually
doesn't work out that well. We gotta try and cobble
it together. I'm worried for Harden because he might just collapse.
Harden's gonna have to do as much as he's been doing.
Which is too much for how old he is. And
I don't mean that as a disrespect.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
To James Harden. He's too old.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
He shouldn't have to be working like that. Yeah, let's
hope cam Christy makes some progress. I don't know, it sucks.
I'm not gonna pretend like it doesn't suck, but I think,

(04:54):
like if I know, you just got to adjust expectations.
At this point. We can't punt on the season because
of the picks. That's not ideal. So I guess we
just gotta try and be as good as possible. Which, hey,
we're almost through it, right, the era whatever, this era,

(05:16):
the two one three into the uh two to one
if we want to call that. This is the two
to one era with Kawhi and Harden. This one felt heavier.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
For me, this one just I was like, God, damn it,
just like again, like obviously, not that I hadn't been
through this before, but for some reason, just the poor
start coupled with just.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
How frustrating it's been, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Right, everyone was bully on the Clippers. You don't, I
don't think you have to feel what a colorful throw
on my head. That's pretty funny.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
You should do that. If you want to do that,
you should do that because that would be funny. Uh.
We all thought they would be better than this. We
don't think there'd be a season ending injury on November
twelfth to coincide with a stretch of play that's been
like some of the least fun you can have as

(06:17):
a Clippers fan recently. Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah, sure, I'll
go past trauma. Yeah, you can pull up past trauma
for this. Everyone's hurt now, so we'll see what happens.
Maybe they're tired. Surely you'll kit you can have another
triple double. Right, we could be excited about John Collins

(06:39):
in the starting lineup.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
That's good. Tyler's not going to be fired. I think
anyone who thought he was going to be fired.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Anytime you are bringing up conversations you've had with ownership,
usually not the best side.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
But I don't know what is firing Tyler gets us nowhere.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Also drop your predictions for what you think is gonna
happen tonight versus the Nuggets. The court looks pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
That's fun. We got hard and done.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Derek Jones, Junior John Collins and a Viza Zubots starting,
which hey, more time for Collins and Derek Jones junior.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Uh to mesh.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Fascinating what the starting lineup is gonna be when Kawhi
comes back?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Genuinely?

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Uh does Collins go back to the bench? Is Colins
just relegated to the bench when Kawhi is back? So
it's hard and done Kawhi Derek Jones too or whatever?

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Interesting?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Somehow more lineup crunch. Yeah, the rotation is making the
rotation simpler. Is a funny way to frame the season
ending injury. And I know that it's not what you meant.
But uh Xmongo project said before bial they were projecting
done and JC to start bugging. I mean he's yeah,

(08:10):
he's gonna get more reps anyway. It's just like we
gotta hope he plays out of the funk.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
No heartbreak this year, exactly, It's already happened.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Uh. The season isn't over, per chance, but it doesn't
feel great right now. If there were a night to
win tonight would be a very Clippers funny night to win,
you know what I'm saying? Like that, it would be Oh,
of course both guys are out somehow we beat the Nuggets.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Whoop do you do? Oh? I hello?

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Man, vibes are pretty low, not as low as this morning.
I think the Kawhi news sucks. It's got the sprain
foot in the sprained ankle. He's on the trip, which
is good. I don't know if what games he plays
the trip. We don't really have a timeline for that.

(09:12):
Let me see if I can. Let me check out
Justin Rousseau. Uh no real timeline on that. They're just
gonna monitor it. So we're kind of in that stage.
He's making really good progress. They're gonna continue to treat him. Yeah,
I don't know, man, I hope he plays in one

(09:33):
of the games. I hope he plays in one of
the games. I guess that is where I'm at. Uh
pop a P two three?

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Is this? Pat Laurie said that he looks like I'll
put both up.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
They look like they definitely took dramatic pause, a step
back from last year.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
I don't think that's crazy to say. It's just and
it's a step back, and the most frustrating thing. Somehow
they've taken a step back and focus these live ball turnovers,
dead ball turnover.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Like the focus has been shocking.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Transition defense has been very bad. Yeah, I think it's
fair to say they took a step back from last year.
It's really frustrating, man, I totally feel you. The Kawhi
thing is really frustrating. There's a seven game road trip
coming up. Thank you for listening to these pregame ramblings

(10:37):
as well. There's a seven game road trip coming up
that does include two back to backs, and so.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
I don't feel good about that.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
I'm not sure what games Kawhi plays in there, right,
because it's every other night until the end of the
seventy six ers back to back. So they have day off,
they go to Dallas, they have a day off, they
go to Boston, and then the very next day they
play in the seventy six Ers.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Then three days later it's.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Against the Magic, and then a back to back against Hornets.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
It's a brutal schedule. There's a three and four in
this stretch.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
The Hornets Calves Lakers, is a back to back over
the twenty second, twenty third, and twenty fifth, and then
they play the day after Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
God damn man. Rough when you really break it down,
it's rough.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Yeah, we're trying to have We're trying to get the
curse on the show. Longtime listeners will know that we
have an in with the curse, and sometimes the curse
comes on the show. We're trying to get it figured out.
We're gonna get the curse on the show soon. He's
been very busy. Yeah, I don't know if it's cursed.
It's sure as hell bad luck. Which is that a curse?

(12:08):
At what point is the curse bad luck? Sorry about that?

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, I don't know who Cam Christy's exciting.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Uh, let's hope the transition, I mean, I don't know.
Let's hope Chris Paul can get some shit figured out,
because we need it. If we're doing this this shooting
guard by committee, which we have to, we're gonna need
guys to step up. Jeff Pate says it's because you

(12:52):
Clippers fans talk a lot of trash when you land
big names. Yeah, surely, I just do not believe you.
Farty Cake sixteen oh six says Clips got this.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yeah, why not?

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Now we're in the now, we're in the period of
uh kind of sulkily rooting for the Clippers, right, Uh,

(13:31):
like they're not every win now especially if they win
a game like tonight, which I'm not saying they will.
I don't feel great, you know what I'm saying, but
like it's just funny. I guess at this point when
they win, we cannot root for them to lose because
of the first round pick situation, which is not ideal

(13:52):
and I get being upset about. But since we literally
cannot root for them to lose, the only option is
to root for them to win, because what does winning do?
It also makes Okay sees pick worse. I hate that
I have to rationalize it like that, but that's where.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
We are in this era. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
Yeah, we do have a lot of trauma. The Clippers
fans have way too much trauma to talk a bunch
of trash unless you joined the bandwagon when they got
Kawhi and Paul George, which by all means welcome. We
need more fans. I don't care why anyone is a fan.
You can be a fan for whatever reason. Ooh we

(14:49):
talked about in the last episode. But I'm like, I
don't even know. The Clippers have so many kind of
issues right now that I don't know how to look
at it. At an opponent by opponent basis, whoever we're playing,
it doesn't matter because of kind of all the self
inflicted wounds that the Clippers give themselves every game, you
know what I mean, Like we can't be like, oh,

(15:13):
let's attack Denver's X because we can't do basic stuff
right now. It's a very frustrating team to watch. So
let's I mean, zoo on Yokic is the biggest matchup.
It's gonna be very difficult. Jokic did play thirty three

(15:33):
minutes yesterday. Jamal Murray I believe played thirty seven, so
that favors the Clips.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Tough time to be a Clippers fan. This is also
very funny too, TD fantastic. Bial's not a big lost guys,
He's really not. I can understand the feelings of being like, oh,
well this there's a lot there's the meme going around
of like this makes the Clippers better. It doesn't say

(16:08):
what you want about Beal's on the court play. Uh,
just look at the numbers of how it doesn't make
the Clippers, Like, it doesn't make the Clippers better at all.
CP three is evidently unplayable. Uh we still like not
having a body.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
It's not good.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Farty Cakes sixteen oh six. I'm gonna say this is
user name. Every time they post a good comment, Zoo's
going to come up each tonight. Let's hope so Zoo
has had some room for improvement. X Mango Project asking
was that the last time we see Beal in Eclipse UNI?

Speaker 1 (16:49):
That's a good question. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Obviously, the team today, you know, Lawrence Frank was like,
we believe in his recovery. He's devastated. He felt that
he let the team down with how he played. So
I don't know if that's the last time. The contract
is not expensive, so if you're looking at it from
a pure financial aspect, it doesn't and he has a
player option, so he opts he's not getting a better deal.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
I don't know. I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Anthony Robinson saying, y'all think he'll be all hypothetically, I'm
thinking about him literally being an active body on this
roster and not having an active body on this roster
is bad. So I'm not gonna sit here and be
like the the injury was good, because the injury was bad.

(17:43):
I don't want to see Yokic flop around Zoo tonight
then push him around when defending him, agreed, there, it's
gonna take a hell of an effort from the Clippers tonight.
I think we can all agree on that. I am
going to not the strings gun. I'm going to sign off.
We're all gonna go watch the Clippers shock the world

(18:06):
and let's hope for good process games we talked about
on the last episode, Starman Hove saying, Chuck, you're ready
to put on some Jim shorts and show us that
jumper you can turn the season around.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
I'm down. If anyone's over near.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Bellevue Community Center over in Silver Lake, get at me
on Twitter. If you want to shoot around, I'll come out.
I play basketball there the jumpers. Okay, the post work
is what's nice. We're gonna all go watch the Clippers
hopefully play well. Adam Will and I are doing a
post game live on Friday after the what game is that?

(18:52):
After the MAVs game. Who let's hope we beat the
MAVs orderline neck and neck with them in the standings.
So we're gonna do a postgame live on Friday, and yeah,
try and keep your heads up. Let's hope Cam Christy
does this thing. Let's hope shooting guard by committee works.

(19:13):
You know, let's hope for some good process, all right,
Thanks for having out everybody subscribe if you want to
hang out next time.

Speaker 1 (19:18):

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
