From Marathon Records To NBA Chaos And Why Everything Feels Off

EP 60 A pacemaker wins a marathon, the shoes sell out instantly, and we’re left asking the only reasonable question: how is any of that real? We start with a ridiculous endurance story that turns into a quick look at sports marketing, sponsorships, and why one performance can change an athlete’s life overnight.

Then reality hits at the gas pump. We talk fuel prices, taxes, and why the numbers keep climbing no matter what politicians claim they’ve “fixed.” From New Zealand to Malaysia to long winter commutes, we connect the dots between energy costs, cost of living, and the stuff people can’t opt out of even when it’s painful.

After that, it’s NBA playoffs chaos. We run through fines, awards talk, and the kind of shooting stretches that make you wonder if the rim is regulation. We also get into the Steve Kerr quote about the three-point shot ruining basketball and what that says about the modern game, then pivot to OKC’s defense, third-quarter avalanches, and why the Lakers’ injury math makes the matchup brutal. We finish with big-picture hoops talk, including why Wembanyama looks like the next face of the league, plus a quick hit on Shaq building a dunk league.

If you like sports stories with jokes, skepticism, and a few rants that feel way too relatable, hit subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review telling us which take you disagreed with most.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

Ah, okay.

Gas Prices And Commuter Reality

SPEAKER_02 3:35

He's only runs like three, four kilometers and then bails out. And one race is like, I feel pretty good. Yeah, yeah. And he ran and fucking won. Everybody's like, what? So yeah, so now Adidas jumped on and they gave him the sponsor, and now he's making money for his family. So good on you, bro. Yeah, yeah, isn't that crazy? That is crazy. You never finished the marathon. He was the pace setter. That's crazy. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. But yeah, good on him. Yeah. So anyway, so we got this Iran War. You must have heard about this, right? A little bit here and there. So so, dude, I went by the gas, I said 190. What does that say?

SPEAKER_01 4:03

What I couldn't quite is it 191 or 194? Uh no, I think I think it's I think it's one uh let's say 191. It's not 194, I don't think.

SPEAKER_02 4:11

Well, I don't know, because I couldn't tell if it was a one or four because I was drawing my like, oh my god, it's up again.

SPEAKER_01 4:14

It's uh oh yeah, it went up again.

SPEAKER_02 4:16

Hang on. So I'm going, ha. What's that clause called?

SPEAKER_01 4:20

The interrupter clause? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:22

Anytime you're ready, and anytime you're ready to take the federal incredible tax off the gas, they'll go right ahead.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

They have.

SPEAKER_02 4:28

I know! What the fuck? How does gas keep going up? So if you didn't do that, would gas be three dollars a fucking liter? What do you mean California?

SPEAKER_01 4:37

It's over three dollars a liter in New Zealand right now. Cool. Yep.

unknown 4:40

That's bananas.

SPEAKER_01 4:42

It's crazy, right? Yeah, that's bananas. This is bullshit. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 4:45

I don't remember any time in the history of me being alive all 372 years.

SPEAKER_01 4:49

Oh, it was up this high when the pandemic was on.

SPEAKER_02 4:52

Was it?

SPEAKER_01 4:52

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:53

Okay, I wasn't here for that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but that would make sense because if it wasn't, something's fishy. Right? Yeah, yeah. But this is I lived in Malaysia and we're we're subsidized by uh Patronas. Right. So, but now I think I told you what's going on over there now. Maybe I didn't. No, uh, you can get 200 liters at the subsidized price, and then anything after that you have to pay the normal price. Oh, okay. But that's still pretty cool, you know. But yeah, just take a grab car. It's grab car, but there's nothing. Yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah, but yeah, so I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:20

No, it's it is crazy. It's uh it just keeps going up, man.

SPEAKER_02 5:23

But that's well, here's the thing, I think this is fun now. Seeing you you pull up to the pull up to the pump and I look over and it says$142. Like, man, what was he driving?

SPEAKER_00 5:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:32

Or she. But I'm thinking, that was a big truck, bro.

SPEAKER_01 5:35

Those pickups.

SPEAKER_02 5:36

Because I know mine was down to just above a quarter, and it took 71 bucks.

SPEAKER_01 5:40

Yeah, I I was uh I I just took it$67 yesterday. I think I had I was only uh I had like about a third of a tank left still. So yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:48

Yeah, so that's when I saw that. Can you imagine if your truck 80, 90, 100, 100? 120, 130, 140, like holy shit. Yeah. Here's the thing, though, those trucks are 100 grand, 150 grand small those trucks. So if you can drive that truck, you can afford this. That's the thing, too, right? Like it's insurance is ginormous on those trucks.

SPEAKER_01 6:09

It's it's people, a lot of people don't have a choice but to drive too, right? Like, it's kind of crazy. You you're just gonna have to keep paying it.

SPEAKER_02 6:16

Well, yeah, I'm I mean, I'm meeting people too, and I go, Hey, you know, I'm working here, and they go, Oh, where do you live? And I go, Where do you live? They're like, Darkmouth. I'm like, What? Yeah, like how long is it? Oh, hour, 10 minutes? Like, oh my god. So in the winter, I'm like, no, thanks.

SPEAKER_00 6:31

Yeah, yeah.

Playoffs Start And Early Headlines

SPEAKER_02 6:32

So, but they're like, Yeah, but I have a house, and like, what you can't move, right? You know, that's right. In the business, I mean, it's like you can be moved, and there's nothing you can say about it, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So um, I don't know what else you have for the shit. Yep. Basically, um, it's all gonna be basketball today. So we're in the playoffs. Well, some of us are the rest of us playing golf.

SPEAKER_01 6:55

That's it, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:57

But uh all right, let's take it nice.

SPEAKER_01 6:59

The driving range is open now. Yeah, I saw that.

SPEAKER_02 7:00

The lightning was going pretty good there. So yeah, but he's like, how is a gray school? Um, remember that one? I am dude, it's been a lot of people dying lately, by the way. Yeah, just my phone, like a whole bunch of other people. Not not even the missing scientist, that's creepy as hell, too. But that was another thing, anyway. Yeah, yeah. Uh here, I'm gonna start with this. Mitchell Robinson and uh what's his name? Dyson douchebag there. They got fined for that little scuffle. Did you see that? Robinson got fined 50 grand and uh Dyson got fined 30 G's, where they grabbed each other at the end. Uh I don't know. And they got ejected for that.

SPEAKER_01 7:31

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:32

I mean, okay, but you know, people gotta be smarter because you're still in. So what are you doing, right? But they deserve what they deserve. Stupid game.

SPEAKER_01 7:39

No, I didn't see that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:40

Oh, you didn't miss much, it's just a hugging, hugging thing. Oh, yeah, which is usually what yeah, a lot of people involved, but nothing happened. So Cooper Flag, as you should. Rookie of the close, though. That's what they said. I didn't see the numbers. Uh they said it wasn't unanimous. It was not unanimous, though. But I mean, that's realistic. Yeah, you know, he played enough and did what he had to do.

SPEAKER_01 8:00

He had a good year, but so just so did that canuple.

SPEAKER_02 8:02

Yeah, yeah, and the best they're buddies, right?

SPEAKER_01 8:05

Yeah, they're roommates. Yeah, they're roommates.

SPEAKER_02 8:06

So that's pretty cool that you and your buddy are like so. Here's the thing, though. Like, if you're buddies like we are, you ain't living that down. Oh, you remember in 2026, Mike, when you came second, you fuck. Yeah, they'll be 70, 80 years old, and you go, remember that year? Yeah, and you go, You shut up, I'll get my cane.

SPEAKER_01 8:23

Hey, yeah, I'd be like, Hey, you were supposed to win, and I almost took it from you, man.

SPEAKER_02 8:27

Like, I'd be it'd just be so funny. You know what I just saw recently? You would have loved this. I should have sent it to you. It was the old Saturday Night Live when they used to do the Bears. Oh yeah, right? They had Michael Jordan on it.

SPEAKER_00 8:38

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:39

Right? And they were so the question the questions he asked me, he goes, uh, who did they play that year? I can't remember. He but he goes, so whose idea was it to let LA win one game? Like, was it yours? Like whoever, I don't know who they were playing that year, but do you remember what he said? He goes, he goes, No, no, no, they they won the game. He goes, nobody's believed in that. So whose idea was it to let them win at least one? He's Michael can't hold together. He's big spot. He's fucking laughing, right? But I was like, that's pretty funny because that doesn't look like it was part of the game.

SPEAKER_01 9:07

So it must have been 91 then, because that's when they beat the Lakers. So it had to be the Lakers, so he must have said, Yeah, so he goes, you know the Lakers won the first game and then the Bulls won the next four.

SPEAKER_02 9:15

When did you guys decide to let them have one?

SPEAKER_01 9:18

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_02 9:18

And Mike, because we didn't let you guys, no, no, no, no, we know you did. Yeah, but that's pretty funny. I've been doing a lot of Michael Jordan stuff recently. Oh, okay, yeah. I want to see some real basketball, man.

SPEAKER_00 9:26

Sure, yeah, yeah.

Historic Collapse And Bad Basketball

SPEAKER_02 9:27

You know what I mean? Like, can somebody show me like a pull-up uh jump shot maybe from the corner, you know, and not like chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck? Okay, so here's where we're going with that. Steve Kerr, fuck you. Steve Kerr said, yeah, I know you don't like it. I like Steve Kerr, always did. He's a bit of a wolkie, but that's okay. Good coach. Steve Kerr said three-point shots ruining the game. He said they should take it out.

SPEAKER_01 9:48

Interesting.

SPEAKER_02 9:49

Uh I'm sorry, Mike. Did uh Steve Kerr not the three-point hero back in the day? And he basically told Curry there's no such thing as a penshi.

SPEAKER_01 9:58

Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:00

Not from Steph Curry. There's not uh there is though.

SPEAKER_01 10:02

I'll have to I'll have to go see what he said because yeah, that seems uh there's gotta be some context of that away.

SPEAKER_02 10:06

So when I saw that, I went, well, you're not coming back because you're the one that started all this shit with the three points. So he's he's done. He must be retired. So he's probably his back's probably real bad, eh?

SPEAKER_01 10:16

It's uh well, I know his back's really bad. Yeah, but I mean he's been doing it for a while. Maybe he's maybe just needs a break, right?

SPEAKER_02 10:21

Yeah, I mean he can only have so many hundreds of millions of dollars. That's yeah, yeah. Right? How many trophies do you need? Yeah, right? How many basketballs?

SPEAKER_01 10:29

Man, that guy's a that guy's a winner. He's got uh God forever. Three with the Bulls, two with the Spurs, and and uh Oh, but he still doesn't have what Larry Bird has son.

SPEAKER_02 10:39

Larry Bird has all those, plus one as an executive, and one as a uh what do you call it? Uh whatever. So he's got like five different yeah, yeah, yeah, but still good on you, Larry.

SPEAKER_01 10:48

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean Steve Kurz. So that's what's that? That's nine nine rings, it's pretty impressive, man. A lot of fingers. It is, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:54

A lot of fingers. But they can't be what 65? How old's Jordan? Not quite 65, right? Yeah. I mean, you know, most people retired.

SPEAKER_01 11:04

Well, like Kerr's younger. Kerr's younger than Jordan.

SPEAKER_02 11:06

Could be a little bit, but still he's in his 60s.

SPEAKER_01 11:08

Because Kerr was playing, like Kerr had been playing, but like, you know, when he was, he was a youngish player with the Bulls, right? When he was playing, and uh that was near the end of Jordan's, which was you know, in this 30s.

SPEAKER_02 11:20

Still gonna be end of his Bulls run.

SPEAKER_01 11:21

Okay, maybe not. Maybe I'm wrong. Yeah, no, no, he's he's definitely he's probably like you know, he's probably like low early 60s, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:26

Yeah, so I guess he's probably had enough then. Plus, they're probably gonna blow that team up, huh? But remember, Giannis and and LeBron are coming.

SPEAKER_01 11:34

I don't know what's yeah. I mean, I mean obviously Curry's not going anywhere, but I don't know what uh you can't trade, you can't trade Draymond.

SPEAKER_02 11:40

Nobody'll take him. Actually, that's not true. Everybody would take Draymond.

SPEAKER_01 11:44

Uh he's Draymond's still uh still a solid contributor, right?

SPEAKER_02 11:47

Yeah, he is. Yeah you know what you're getting.

SPEAKER_01 11:49

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:50

Like you know what you're getting.

SPEAKER_01 11:51

Yeah. So yeah, but I told you he came out in that interview with the New Yorker. Kerr said uh something about uh you know Draymond's done some unforgivable things, but you know, like that he's he still he loves him, blah blah blah blah.

SPEAKER_02 12:03

What's unforgivable though? What? Well Draymond's been nothing but a I know, but what did he do that's like over the top? He didn't shoot anybody, he didn't bring a gun to the locker. Well, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 12:12

I have no idea, right? Like I just told you what Kerr said, right?

SPEAKER_02 12:15

I mean he punched Poole in the face with the thing.

SPEAKER_01 12:16

Oh, but I'm sure there's I'm sure there's other things.

SPEAKER_02 12:18

That's just what you're gonna find. That's just what you saw, right? So Draymond's mom says he's never done anything wrong.

SPEAKER_01 12:23

And then Draymond came out and said that uh, you know, playing for Kerr was has been fantastic and da da da. But he but something about uh you know the role he took with the with the Warriors ended up like you know, he ended up sacrificing his offensive role for for that role. And I'd have to go back and see. I don't know. I I mean I'm gonna be honest with you, I know he played for Michigan State, but I wasn't watching him back then, so I don't know what he was saying.

SPEAKER_02 12:44

You know, I mean, you know, if we want to okay, so uh what okay, so Draymond Green sacrificed his offensive role. All right, so that must mean Rodman did the same thing.

SPEAKER_01 12:55

Well, here's the thing, right? All of these guys, I'm sure in high school and even in the all were like averaging 20 some points, whatever, right? Um obviously the NBA is a completely different game because these guys, you see these guys, they go into the NBA, they play like two minutes a game, you know, average like less than a point for their career. But yet, you know, you go back and you look at their high school stats and they probably average like 30 some points a game. Everybody did. That's how you got to where they were. Mr.

SPEAKER_02 13:21

wherever state they were from basketball, right? You're Mr. Basketball, now you're nobody.

SPEAKER_01 13:25

I don't think I think at the end of the day the league is uh you know, the league is pretty impressive, man, with how good those guys are and how hard it is to get into the league. So no, no discredit to Draymond, but I don't think he would have been a 20-some point.

SPEAKER_02 13:38

Uh uh not with that terrible technique of a shot. Let's be honest, it's disgusting to watch. If it goes in, it's just by chance.

SPEAKER_01 13:44

I still remember he was he was that it was at uh the game, he was the only one in game seven that was like knocking them down. Remember they they laid off and said, uh, we'll let Draymond shoot, and he was hitting him. He was hitting him.

SPEAKER_02 13:52

That's just if Draymond's gonna beat us, well then we deserve to lose. Yeah, I mean, what are you gonna do, right?

SPEAKER_01 13:56

Well, that's the thing. You see, those are the choices you make, right? We'll live with those shots. You have to, you have to, but uh yeah, anyway.

SPEAKER_02 14:03

Yeah, all right, okay. So moving up the stick. Sorry, Steve Kerr, but if you retired, good on you. Uh okay, Mike. Well, the Hawks barely barely lost that game if you're watching. Uh barely lost it. They lost it in the first quarter, bro. It was 40-15. Yeah. In the first quarter.

SPEAKER_01 14:21

So as as the coach, I guess we'll say no lead is safe, as we've also seen, which we'll talk about in a second. Right.

SPEAKER_02 14:27

Okay, no lead is safe, but yeah, as the coach, you go, uh, what's uh what? Yeah, what are you guys doing? Well, like I think can you get fucking dunked the ball by 60 some points at one point.

SPEAKER_01 14:41

But should just not happen in the playoffs. No, but not really. It shouldn't happen most anytime, but like, especially in the playoffs. Like, come on, man, what is going on, right? Dude, like and New York is you know, good on you, New York, but you're not that good that you should be beating team by 60 points.

SPEAKER_02 14:57

Unbelievable.

SPEAKER_01 14:59

Which by the way, like watching, I couldn't tell you who's gonna, you know, I before the before the playoffs started, we said, well, it's clear. One through four is coming out of the east. There's no upsets. I don't know, man. Everything's a nightmare. Yeah, I don't know. Doesn't matter who comes out of the east, they're not beating anybody in the west the way these guys are all.

SPEAKER_02 15:14

Oh, god, you know, no, you're gonna get four-zero. Yeah, right? But yeah, I mean, okay, so uh let's go to the next step. All right, uh, we'll leave we'll leave Lakers off for a minute. Yeah, let's go with the game six, Detroit against uh the Orlando uh who's the team that plays the Globe Trotters?

SPEAKER_01 15:31

The Washington Generals. The Orlando Generals?

SPEAKER_02 15:33

Yeah, yeah. Um, okay, so just to give people an idea, these are some numbers you're gonna shit your pants if you haven't already. 23 shots missed spanning 45 minutes.

SPEAKER_01 15:45

Yeah, huh? That's crazy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:50

I've seen I can't even say it out loud.

SPEAKER_01 15:54

Over 45 minutes. You mean like just not game time? This game's only 48 minutes.

SPEAKER_02 15:59

Uh whatever, what yeah. But uh 22 shots.

SPEAKER_01 16:03

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:03

Right. Yeah. Um they only had what, 19 points at the end of the second half. I told you when I was watching the game history of the end of the game.

SPEAKER_01 16:14

I was watching the ticker, and it was like two minutes left or whatever in the fourth quarter, and they had four points in the fourth quarter. I was like, how do you think? Yeah. Good comeback. How do you how do you like can't you even accidentally score? You know what I mean? Like that's just a lot of things.

SPEAKER_02 16:27

What was the talk in the in the what was the talk at halftime? That's where you guys want to eat asked.

SPEAKER_01 16:32

Well, they were up by 24 or whatever the hell it was. I and I think they thought, hey, man, we're about to be we're about to upset the number one seed. We're about to be the whatever, I don't know. It's happened before. We're not number eight's upset at number one.

SPEAKER_02 16:44

Oh, it's been a long time.

SPEAKER_01 16:45

It's uh, you know, but anyway, well, yeah, well, the last time was just what a few years ago when Miami did it. Um, but anyway, like just it's just ridiculous, right? That uh you scored 19 points, 11 in the third and eight in the fourth. Like, oh man, it's just so bad. Again, I was saying to you, this is some bad basketball in this in this and like even you know, my Celtics, God man, they could not and I I was watching they were wide open, they just couldn't put the ball in the net, man.

SPEAKER_02 17:12

Yeah, I was I was I was young. Is that is that hoop regulation? Like, what is going on? Yeah, like top of the top players are just like, so here's the thing, though, right? I'm gonna equate this to baseball. You might have heard this before. So I I saw it many times when the pitcher says, okay, he gets 60 starts, right? Or whatever it is, you know, and he goes, uh let's say 30 starts. Sure. So he goes, I got 10 where I'm awesome, 10 where I'm shit, and 10 where I'm mediocre. He goes, that's just how it is.

SPEAKER_01 17:36

Sure.

SPEAKER_02 17:37

This is the same, but what a time to shit the bet. Right? Like most basketball teams, as we know. Well, here's the other thing, too. If you if you go and look up the stats, when Denver plays a team with 50 wins or less, they beat them. But anything over 50 plus wins, they lose. Oh, interesting. Yeah, like, well, wow, there's a fine line there, right? Yeah, yeah. And I love what uh what's his name said if this was Serbia, we'd all be fired. And uh my family go missing. And he was laughing when he was saying it because he goes, Here, I don't know, somebody get yelled at maybe.

SPEAKER_01 18:09

Don't well they asked him what he, you know, what changes need to be made. He's like, Well, that's not for me to decide. Right. He goes, But if we were in Serbia, we'd all be fired.

SPEAKER_03 18:17

Everybody. And he smiled when he said, Yeah, but uh, in the back of his head, he goes, and coach would go, probably holds anybody.

SPEAKER_01 18:23

Like we talked about, uh, you know, like three, you know, they were a three seed, Minnesota was a six, but like two games separated them. They weren't, you know, it's not a and Minnesota handed their ass before. Yeah. So so it's not a huge difference, but no, he's not wrong. Like they, you know, they needed to be better. Uh and Murray played like crap. Murray could be broadside and bars.

SPEAKER_02 18:44

He's not gonna win, he's definitely not gonna win MVP now. They're gonna give it to Shay, for sure, right? Yeah. Because Jokic didn't make it fair enough. I feel I felt that if he went one more, they would have given it to Mm.

SPEAKER_01 18:52

Well the voting should already be done, right? Like it's uh should all be done.

SPEAKER_02 18:55

I know, but they always hold on to that one, right?

SPEAKER_01 18:57

So somebody gets paid off. However, that works. Yeah.

unknown 19:01

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 19:02

What was the series where uh I can't remember which one you're talking about? No, it was the one where they gave Jokic the MVP or whatever, and they said, Oh, he's not playing like the MVP, and he went out in like the next three games in like just like torched two hours. Well, here's the other thing too. I just saw it.

SPEAKER_02 19:17

Maybe it was Minnesota, maybe it was Minnesota for the I just saw another thing where it says uh most triple doubles, and obviously he has it, and it's like by hundreds of games less than Russell Westbrook.

SPEAKER_01 19:30

Oh, how many long it took him to get there? Yeah, yeah.

Lakers Vs OKC And Injury Math

SPEAKER_02 19:31

And like holy because it was uh actually Russell only did it for one full season, but whatever. He wanted to do that, right? To be an Oscar, but whatever. Yeah, right. Okay, so Lakers. I said at the beginning, there's no way Lucas coming back from a grade two hamstring strain at all this year. If you even put him back in the floor, that's bad for business. Um everybody, oh, you know, 3-0. Well obviously fluke, right? 3 2 is how it should have been, and then you see what happens in the next, right?

SPEAKER_01 20:01

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:02

But for the Lakers, you needed to really come third to avoid OK. Oops, to avoid OKC.

SPEAKER_01 20:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:08

Right? So now you're in trouble.

SPEAKER_01 20:09

Well now they well, yeah, they're yeah. What I was telling you earlier said it's the largest point differential in Lakers history that they're gonna be going against now. So they I think they lost game one by 29, let's say, game two by nine, game three by forty-some, and game four by almost thirty. So it's uh I don't know, man. And that was and I think even one of those games the 40-some points was the one without Luca. But Luca was there, Luca. They lost by almost 30, right?

SPEAKER_02 20:37

Yeah, yeah. OKC took out their two best players. Yeah. The only way they're gonna beat them, Marcus Smart's gonna have to rough up Shay. I don't think Marcus can stay with him anyway. He's too old. But that that's who else is gonna guard him?

SPEAKER_01 20:51

Well, nobody. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:52

Nobody. Yeah, you can't let him have a game. That's it. You gotta do something.

SPEAKER_01 20:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:55

And then everybody else on the Lakers, people keep forgetting this, and I guess that it's not only Genie now, it's not the buses, it's just her, right?

SPEAKER_01 21:03

Oh, she's I mean, she's she's just she's a minor. She showed her, they showed, sold the majority to well, when they got uh Kennard, Luke.

SPEAKER_02 21:10

Yeah. When they got Canard, we're like, okay, why do we need shooters? Well, turns out they have the best shooting percentage in the entire NBA. But their defense isn't good because OKC is the highest or the best defense in the NBA. So you're gonna play best offense again again or shooting percentage against best defense, and we saw what happened those four games. So what are you gonna do? You got no Luca. That's 30, 33 points a game.

SPEAKER_01 21:33

And Austin hurt himself again in game two. Yeah, he's right. Yeah, so we'll see what he's where he where how he comes in, right?

SPEAKER_02 21:40

I mean, I honestly I'd be shocked if the Lakers take any. You know, but OKC, you can't play at the high, high level for all five. So I think the 4 1.

SPEAKER_01 21:49

Yeah, yeah. I think Lakers get at least one.

SPEAKER_02 21:52

And nobody's hurt an OKC, really.

SPEAKER_01 21:54

And LeBron, like you know, we'll see but what LeBron can do, but there's no way he's If he can do it great on him, that's too too much of an effort. I'll tell you. He can't carry that TV. Against Houston. Well, he did. He did a good job against Houston.

SPEAKER_02 22:08

Well, he didn't have anybody.

unknown 22:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:10

They got Kevin Durant, who, like I told you, is on the on the on the sideline sticker.

SPEAKER_01 22:14

Oh, Kevin Durant Durant's on the sideline. Fred Van Fleet's on the sidelines. Oh, for the whole year. Steven Adams is on the sideline.

SPEAKER_02 22:19

Oh my god, I forgot about Steven Adams.

SPEAKER_01 22:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:22

My favorite center of all time. Love that guy. Yeah. Doesn't say a word. Like Jason Momoa's giant brother. That's right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He just scratched you and they look, oh, who told me? Yeah. I forgot he was there. Yeah. We need him back on the floor.

unknown 22:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:35

That Rockets team would have been a good team.

SPEAKER_01 22:37

That's what I mean. The Rockets were number two last year, and then they went and picked up Durant, but then they ended up with Durant. Getting hurt. Getting hurt.

SPEAKER_02 22:43

Is he really hurt though, you fruit cake? Like how bad is your leg hurt? Like, you know, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 22:49

Like about like Durant, just he loves to play ball. He just doesn't like the rest of it, right? So getting hurt. But I don't know. It'll be interesting to see because, you know, if if if all that stuff is true about him not getting along with his teammates and stuff, which we don't know. Um, you know, is he gonna demand a trade again, right?

SPEAKER_02 23:05

Where's he going this time?

SPEAKER_01 23:06

I have no idea, man.

SPEAKER_02 23:08

Anyway.

SPEAKER_01 23:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:09

Uh, who do we got left? So who's playing today? Oh no.

SPEAKER_01 23:12

Two game sevens today. Oh, wait, now we get a bad mouth first. Atlando Detroit today, and uh Toronto Cleveland's today.

SPEAKER_02 23:18

Yeah, yeah. So uh who's the coach again, the European fellow? From China.

SPEAKER_01 23:22

Oh, I can't remember his name. Rat Ratovich or something like that.

SPEAKER_02 23:26

Uh whatever his name is. Sorry, bro. Uh, you said the stupidest thing I've ever heard. He goes, after the win, he goes, I envisioned that we were going to win. And say it ahead.

SPEAKER_00 23:35

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:36

Say it ahead of time. Like, look at here in Sonat. Oh, I knew I'd win the race. Yeah. That's right. What? Like, now you look like a donkey. Right? So, anyway, and by the way, where's BI? What the fuck is he doing now? Is he ironing your shirts? Where's he even at?

SPEAKER_01 23:51

Well, he was injured in the last game.

SPEAKER_02 23:52

Injured? Yeah. I haven't seen him in the fucking for months.

SPEAKER_01 23:55

Oh, yeah, he was playing. He played earlier.

SPEAKER_02 23:57

Yeah, but he ain't scoring. That's what I mean. Like, I see him, but I don't see him.

SPEAKER_01 24:00

Yeah, I think that's the one guy. I mean, uh everybody will talk about that. Choked. That Scotty Barrett shot.

SPEAKER_02 24:06

Uh he pulled it at a Trell's prewell.

SPEAKER_01 24:09

But the uh DJ Callick. But Scotty Barnes, uh, like, I mean, I don't think he gets enough credit for how good of a player he is. And he's a two-way player, too. Yeah, he's a good player.

SPEAKER_02 24:16

Yeah. He's a good player.

SPEAKER_01 24:17

Yeah. So yeah, we'll see. Game seven in Cleveland, man. It's uh another one that I didn't think was gonna go seven. I didn't, you know. I'm uh I'm obviously cheering for Toronto to win that series, but I honestly didn't think they they stood a chance against Cleveland. But once again, James Harden and Donovan Mitchell kicked to the playoffs, and yeah, aren't you supposed to score in the playoffs, Mike?

SPEAKER_02 24:38

What are you doing?

SPEAKER_01 24:39

James Harden. Poor James Harden. He's always had that followed up. Who's gonna blame now? I don't know. Right?

SPEAKER_02 24:43

You run out of people to blame, Mike.

SPEAKER_00 24:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:46

Maybe you should shave that beard, you goof. How about that? Shave that beard, maybe be more aerodynamic. But yeah, what the hell's going on there?

SPEAKER_00 24:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:52

I mean, but let's be honest. I mean, uh, what was it used to be called? LeBronto? LeBronto. So that Cleveland Mystique is still hanging around a little bit in the rafters there, right?

SPEAKER_01 25:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 25:02

LeBronto. You know what I saw the other day?

SPEAKER_01 25:05

LeBronto's my favorite. That's that's one of my favorites.

SPEAKER_02 25:07

I didn't even know that until you told me that. Yeah, that's hilarious. Yeah, anyway. But my my best thing I saw so far was Stephen A. Smith. What was the game? Uh, what was the year when they were uh just lost to Boston? They had to come back and win in Boston. Uh Cleveland, you know. Was it Cleveland or Miami?

SPEAKER_01 25:25

Uh Cleveland lost to Boston, and then that's when LeBron went to Boston.

SPEAKER_02 25:29

The next game.

SPEAKER_01 25:30

And then they went to Boston. There's no way. And LeBron scored like 46 to crazy game six one.

SPEAKER_02 25:35

Stephen A. Smith goes, there is no way Boston's going to lose in Boston. It's never going to happen. Well, you know, if any time he was going to show up, that was the game. Like you shut up.

SPEAKER_01 25:46

Well, that's what I mean. That's what I was telling you about the Lakers series. Uh, not to keep going back to that one, but before the series, I uh the Lakers aren't. I don't even know if the Lakers are gonna win a game. With no Luca and no Austin, like, there's no way the Lakers are gonna win. This is the this year we're talking about people, the Houston this year. There's no way they're gonna win. Stephen A. Smith, no way. No, no, no. Not just even A, a lot of them. Oh, a lot of them, yeah. Then the Lakers go up to the driver. Dude, I'd have won so much more. Lakers go up 3-0. It's like, you know, LeBron's carrying this team. It's amazing what this guy's doing. It is. Then Houston wins the next two games. This is gonna be the ultimate stain on LeBron's legacy. He's gonna go, he's gonna lose. They're in serious trouble. The Houston's got their number now. Houston's gonna come back from being down 3-0 and beat them. This is gonna be the you know, this is gonna just remove remove LeBron from the Gold Conference.

SPEAKER_02 26:30

It was embarrassing.

SPEAKER_01 26:30

And then, of course, then he goes out and he has a great game, six, and you know, they they close him out. You know, to watch a 41-year-old do what he's doing is just so impressive. It's like, oh my god, you guys, man. Did you ever see there was a let the series play out, and then well, here's why this is why it's so funny.

SPEAKER_02 26:44

There's a TV show, I don't know what it was. So it's like uh the guy comes home, he was writing his driver's license or something. Comes home and uh, you know, mom's mom's got the sign. It says, Congratulations, he goes, didn't pass. Clip it goes, better next extra year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He goes, wait a minute, you didn't really feel he goes, she goes, well, I'm just covering all bases, right? I was like, that's funny. Same idea. That's what Stephen H. Fizz and all these guys do, right? They got like two agendas. All right, which one are we gonna read? That depends what happens. Yeah, that's it. And here we go, right? Yeah, but uh okay, so I just don't see without Luca. I mean, he makes scoring look so easy, it doesn't even make any sense. There's no way that uh uh uh OKC doesn't walk over them.

SPEAKER_01 27:28

Oh god, no.

SPEAKER_02 27:28

I mean, you're you got pride, I get it. You got Laker Pride, I understand that, but you don't have anybody to guard anybody.

SPEAKER_01 27:33

I won't, I'll tell you what I won't do. I I I definitely uh OKC's gonna yeah, OKC is gonna Lakers, like I said, might get a game.

SPEAKER_02 27:40

All right, wait, I'll call it like this, though, because this is what happens every single game. They're not gonna see any blowouts anymore because that J just not gonna let that happen. He'll play LeBron and LeBron's son and his daughter. Right? Maybe his wife. But here's what we're gonna see. We're gonna see good game, good game, good game. Then we're gonna see what happens in the third quarter. So in the third quarter, if you watch all the OKC, everybody's right there. It doesn't matter if you're a shit team or whatever, they're right there third quarter and all of a sudden whoop up by 22. What? You don't even know what happened. And you know, what's his name? Uh Shea blowing his own whistles. Yeah, yeah. Right? But so Lakers, we know that you need to stay with them in the third quarter if you want to fucking.

SPEAKER_01 28:17

Well, here we talked about this the the the game the game four against Phoenix. You sat there and went, man, Phoenix is playing so good. But he even even throughout Phoenix is playing so good. But they're still losing every quarter. They're losing by four points, by six points. Yeah, at the end of the game, they lose by 20 points. It's just yeah, just beating them, right? Like it's uh yeah, and that's that's what I picture of the Lakers series. But again, they got hammered all season long.

SPEAKER_02 28:42

The thing is, okay, there's nobody flashing OKC. Shea's not even flashing. No, he's like an old man, yeah. Like everything's in slow motion, but you still can't do anything.

SPEAKER_01 28:50

You can just get to his spots, man.

SPEAKER_02 28:51

Well, the reason I think that too is because it's it's like the old school, like George St. Pierre, when he used to fight somebody that was awkward, he goes, That's a fucking nightmare. Because you're fighting somebody, it's not their timing's all off, and you're getting smoked, you're like, How'd that come through? Yeah, yeah. Same thing with because he's like, people don't know what to do, and they're fucking flinching up and he's shooting over you like fuck. Yeah, right. I wasn't even a foul, didn't touch him. You're close. Yeah. Like like the it's Magic Johnson that time when they were telling me to get closer. Yeah, they're getting any closer, they're gonna call a foul on Michael. Well, they're taking the picture.

Wembanyama Hype And Big Man Talk

SPEAKER_01 29:19

Taking the pictures, yeah. Him, Larry, and Michael, yeah. That's be careful now, don't get too close to Michael, it'll be a foul. That's pretty funny. But uh, but they had the series. What I was gonna say is the series that I'm not like I am not gonna just give the series ultimately uh uh automatically to San Antonio, though. No, Minnesota always, yeah. I don't know, man. Minnesota's got to do Wimby. What I what you figure a team always needs. Look at Miami did it when Jimmy Butler was like playoff team. Oh, right. Playoff channels. You know, you got Anthony Davis, man. If he's healthy or Anthony and Davis, Anthony Edwards. Anthony Davis. I want because in my mind I was thinking if he's healthy and so I automatically went to court. Well, there's both and Edwards, if he's healthy, yeah, uh problem, right? So I mean Wemby obviously is a massive problem. Oh, he's a massive problem. But yeah, it makes no sense. It'll be interesting. Frenchman versus Frenchman, Rudy versus Wemby, right?

SPEAKER_02 30:06

Two giants of the league. Nobody's bigger than those two idiots. They're freaking feeder like that.

SPEAKER_01 30:10

They play, and then you know, if anybody should have some know some of his tendencies, it should be Rudy. He played with him on the national team, right?

SPEAKER_02 30:16

Right, and they practiced together for a long time. So, but listen, I'm telling you right now, Wemby's the face of the league. He is by far the best player in the league. He's gonna be scary.

SPEAKER_01 30:26

I think LeBron said the other day, he's glad he's gonna be playing. Put some weight on. I think LeBron said the other day, he's glad he's not gonna be playing when Wemby it's his speaker.

SPEAKER_02 30:32

There's nothing you can do. And then what's even funnier is they brought it up, and Barkley and those guys are talking about it. And uh Shaq goes to say something, and then he goes, he leaned Barkley and goes, You can go and guard him at the three-point line? I don't fucking think so.

SPEAKER_01 30:46

They all have the same because that Chet Homeground said the same thing. Oh, if Shaq played in this day, he'd just get smoked because you know we'd just be taking him outside. People forget how good, how fast, how athletic young Shaq was. Ridiculous, right?

SPEAKER_02 30:59

He wasn't as big as he is now either. No, right? Way smaller, way smaller.

SPEAKER_01 31:02

And even like Shaq in the end, when Shaq was playing for Boston for Phoenix, you know, footwork, fancy. Go look at the young Orlando Shaq or the early early LA Shaq.

SPEAKER_02 31:10

Like problems. It is crazy, right? Yeah, but still, I mean Wimby's is just I don't even know what that is. No, he's literally seven and a half feet tall. Yeah. On sneakers. Huh? What is that? Right? I love when they like he's I don't know how far the key is. How far is the key where you take the free throw? How many feet is that? No, I can't remember how to edge so go in about two feet, they just lob it in, he just leans.

SPEAKER_01 31:34

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:34

He didn't even jump, he just leans, right?

SPEAKER_01 31:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:37

Best one I like now is they try to. I love how the point guards would try to figure it out and they try to go underneath. Yeah. And fucking then he goes, boom.

SPEAKER_00 31:43

They do those, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:44

And they look out, go, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_01 31:46

How did he still get that?

SPEAKER_02 31:47

Where'd his hands come from? It's a problem, bro. You know, and he's going behind the back and through the legs. Are you fucking kidding me?

SPEAKER_01 31:53

No, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:53

No, he's if he can stay healthy. Well, here's the other thing. Oh, there was big men in the league before. Oh, yeah, okay. Watch. Yao Ming. He couldn't move. He's like a fucking robot. Yeah. Giant. This guy is not, it doesn't make any sense. He's a freak. He's like Will Chamberlain, basically.

SPEAKER_01 32:07

No, listen, man. Like I know some of those big guys were slow, but I like I said, Shaq was crazy athletic. Oh, crazy. David Robinson could run the floor, was crazy athletic. Well, look at that. Hakim Elijah on what that guy, he would, you know, like nobody stood a chance against Hakeem. Like in the post, right? Like, yeah. Yeah.

Shaq’s Dunk League And Wrap-Up

SPEAKER_02 32:22

But yeah, I mean, and then who's coming up? Nobody. We got nobody. Oh, you know what I did see? We can add this. Uh Shaq is putting together a dunk uh league.

unknown 32:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:35

Oh, like uh okay.

SPEAKER_02 32:36

Yeah,$500,000 to the winner. Yeah. Matt McClung's in it, a couple other dudes that sell their names. Not nobody from the NBA.

SPEAKER_01 32:41

Well, I know that they have these kind of leagues around that do have these dunkers. Apparently he's doing his own leagues. Shaq has actually been a like a judge at some of these other conversations.

SPEAKER_02 32:48

So he must have thought it's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_01 32:50

So he probably knows a lot of these, like you know, I guess you call them, I don't want to call them amateur dunkers or professional dunkers, is what they have. They make money off. They get sponsors and shit, right?

SPEAKER_02 32:57

It's pretty crazy. But yeah. Good on him. Yeah. Good on him. All right, so well, we have a couple of things here. So we got top five. Top five. We're moving and shaking again.

SPEAKER_01 33:09

So US Canada.

SPEAKER_02 33:11

Yep. I'm gonna go with no.

SPEAKER_01 33:14

No, they're not there this week.

SPEAKER_02 33:15

No, go way. Mexico? Are they back? No, no, no. Mexico? Go east. Where I was living. Close to close. Smaller people. Vietnam. Okay. So we got USA, Canada, Vietnam, Singapore. And then all of our uh what is it? Ricola? Ricola. Uh Finland.

SPEAKER_01 33:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 33:39

Finland, yeah. So they they came around there. Right. So uh that's pretty much it for today, ladies and gentlemen.

SPEAKER_01 33:45

Now uh watch you can tell from our card, you can tell from the topics we covered today. We watched a lot of basketball this weekend, not on a lot of anything.

SPEAKER_02 33:52

Yeah, we're listening we're not gonna cover the straight or her moozy for a while until gas goes down. I've had enough. So, anyway, you can look right here once again for our sponsor, doobie and uh doobie.gg. And once again, look right here and you use this uh coupon code BobbyHyphenMikey D for 10% off any order. And it tastes great. Now, here's the thing it should be sitting right here. Due to the tariff situation in the United States of America, they will not let that stuff come across the board at this point in time. So if anybody knows how to sneak that across, let us know because we can't get it here at this point. So thanks, Uncle Donnie, you stupid goof. We can't even get our stuff. So, anyway, it's Bobby D and Mikey D. All right, thanks for watching, everybody. You can see us on Buzzsproke, Apple, Spotify. A lot of people are just listening to us. I understand that. So if you're just listening to us, we'll have to describe ourselves. Uh uh, a lady asked, Mike. Did she? She goes, Well, fellas, I've never seen what you look like. So clearly she's not looking at the picture I was put up.

SPEAKER_01 34:52

That's right. All right, so the whole thing is nothing but picture. Right.

SPEAKER_02 34:55

I'm six foot four, yeah, 703 pounds, yeah, long blonde hair.

SPEAKER_01 35:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:00

Uh my friend Mike is uh also known as a little person in 32 different countries.

SPEAKER_01 35:04

That's right.

SPEAKER_02 35:05

Yeah, he's three foot two, big ears, flat head, no teeth. Yeah. All right. So that's that's how we do. Yeah. So yeah, picture that. Yeah, yeah. What do we like to see?

SPEAKER_01 35:14

I think you just described the fucking cover of some fantasy novel.

SPEAKER_02 35:19

Hey, whatever it takes, man. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I just read this though. Uh well, we'll see when the finishing we have more shit. You should hear the shit we say after we took anyway. Uh, Lord of the Rings, most of the people on horseback were women with beards. Okay, let me rephrase that. Were women and they put fake beards on them because when they made a casting call, it said riders, mostly women ride horses, not men. So they the only way around is to put fake beards on all the all the women. Sure. Pretty cool. Yeah, yeah. And I just read something else. Daniel Radcliffe during Harry Potter said he was drunk in a lot of the scenes. I'm like, wasn't he a child? You know, he started as a child.

SPEAKER_01 35:54

Like those later ones, he was older.

SPEAKER_02 35:56

Yeah, but hang on, right? Like, well, that's like uh Stranger Things. They started her 12 and now she's like 38 years old. Yeah, yeah. What? Yeah, portals, yeah. Anyway, yeah, so it is what it is, everybody. So have a good one, and you know what to say? Stay bitchy bitches.
