A Deer Costume In Hunting Season

A guy dresses like a deer, walks into the woods during hunting season, gets shot, and the internet somehow turns it into comedy. We start there because it captures the vibe of the whole hang: real headlines that feel fake, and the weird consequences that show up when people chase attention without thinking through the ending. 

From there we get into the Enhanced Games and the part nobody can ignore: the drug landscape. We talk through the reported testing breakdown across athletes, from testosterone and HGH to Adderall, EPO, and the post-cycle realities that never make the highlight reel. It turns into a bigger question about performance-enhancing drugs, fairness, and whether “enhanced” records should live in their own universe or be treated as the future of sport. Along the way, we hit fast-moving stories like a major Manitoba drug bust, gas price whiplash tied to geopolitics and the Strait of Hormuz, and why the modern news cycle rewards speed over accuracy. 

Then we lock in on what we love most: sports. We get into NBA playoffs defense, Wembanyama’s dominance, the Knicks’ run, ref positioning, and why flopping won’t change until the league enforces its own rules consistently. We also kick around offseason chaos like Giannis trade rumors and the LeBron free agency timeline that can handcuff roster building. And to close, we land on the least glamorous “hack” with the biggest payoff: sleep and recovery, including why elite athletes treat rest like training. 

If you’re into sports talk, media criticism, and stories that make you say “no way that’s real,” subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review. What’s your take: should the Enhanced Games be taken seriously or laughed out of the room?

The Deer Story Cold Open

SPEAKER_06 0:00

So this dude identifies as a deer, okay, in in Southern California. So what does he do, Mike? Goes into the woods during hunting season. Guess what happened, Mike?

SPEAKER_02 0:12

Does he wear what is he wearing?

SPEAKER_06 0:14

He identifies as a deer. He got a fucking antlers and a fucking uh okay, they shot. But here's the best part. He ain't dead. So the guy in the chat, I'm just like, it was weird that the deer was screaming at me in English.

unknown 0:27

I'm like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_06 0:29

Can you fucking imagine? You fucking asshole. You got me in the ass. And the guy in the chat, I'm like, what the fuck? Like, can you imagine? Think you should see the picture. He looks like a fucking deer. He's got the thing on the hole. Like, you need, and here's the best part. You know what the authorities? This is why I laugh. The authorities go, need to identify as an animal that doesn't go in the fucking forest. I was like, this dude needs fucking mental help for real. Now he's got a gunshot, but still. The part that it's so funny because you he fucking shoots him in the deer, like, you fucking jackass. Huh? It's just a fucking loony toot.

SPEAKER_03 1:06

Well, man, like again, it's hunt if it's hunting season. I know.

Sponsor Plug And Enhanced Games Drugs

SPEAKER_06 1:26

Hey everybody, welcome back to you would think with uh Bobby D and Mikey D. And of course, right here, Mike, is our sponsor W.g. Yep. And uh right here you can use the code Bobby Mikey D for 10% off any and all orders at any point in time. And why is it good? Because you don't crash. Plain and simple.

Right, just take this.

SPEAKER_06 1:53

All right, there you go.

SPEAKER_01 1:53

There you go, man.

SPEAKER_06 1:54

All right, so we're gonna start right off with the enhanced games because I did some research and I thought it was pretty funny because they so what they did, they've tested every athlete for different substances just for fun. Yeah, and they've broken it down how many people are taking what. So I have the numbers. I'm like, okay, here we go. Dude, I saw a picture of a swimmer. He looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Right. I'm like, this guy, I hope he can swim. Yeah, he might drown, who knows? But you know, either way, still gonna get some views. Yeah, yeah. So, enhanced games, uh, so testosterone. So remember, all the athletes, this is all the athletes. Yeah, 91% of the athletes are taking testosterone. Of course, yeah. Okay, that doesn't surprise you. Yeah, right, right. 79% are taking human growth hormone. I'm like, well, what's wrong with the rest of you? Get on it, right? Wait, what do we do? Uh here's the fucking one that blew my mind. 62% are taking a drug called Adderall. Oh, yeah. Adderall is basically legal math for people that need focus. Sure. Right?

SPEAKER_01 2:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:57

Okay, right. Um, 41% are taking EPL. The stuff that Lance Armstrong and the boys take for long distance cycling.

SPEAKER_01 3:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:06

Must be the swimmers, right? Ain't the fucking weightlifters. And this one is so specific, it's fucking bananas. Everybody knows what this is, too, that's in the game or around the game or been in the game. 29% are taking Deca durabolin.

unknown 3:18

Yeah, I don't know. I'm not gonna have to do that.

SPEAKER_06 3:19

Decca, right? But I'm just saying if you're in the game, people would know that one. And of course, the last one, uh, which is uh 15%, HCG, which is actually what you use to keep your sperm count up when you're taking all these drugs and you have to take it afterwards with another drug. But yeah, I was like, okay. Yeah, so they test everybody. I'm like, why aren't all you taking all those high-end tests? Like, well, girls, I guess, so maybe not. But uh, we'll see what happens with that. So, right now it's going on, and uh apparently online people are like, This is crazy. I've never even heard of this, dude. I've been talking about for two years. Yeah, right? Where are you fucking been? Watch our shit.

SPEAKER_05 3:52

So yeah, so these guys are just and girls, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 3:55

You know, but uh we're gonna see what happens. Uh I'd like to see some records broken, wouldn't you?

SPEAKER_03 4:01

Uh well, I imagine they're gonna they're gonna break records, but uh none of those will stand within the international community. Well, you gotta, yeah, how does it work? Okay, this is the record, asterisk, right? Like, okay. Well, there'll have to be enhanced games records, is what it'll have to be. You right, you can't be considered I don't think they'd say, okay, well, you're the fastest, fastest man in the world. Because you know, you took a bunch of things.

SPEAKER_06 4:24

One of the dudes that went in, it's like, I'm not taking anything because I still want to compete, but I'm going in. Okay. He came 35th out of 10. All right, that's how bad he was. Yeah, yeah. You know, it's like when people ask me how many kids I have. I said, I got four kids by six different women.

SPEAKER_03 4:45

That's right. What? Yeah. Yeah. Figure it out. Figure it out.

Manitoba Mega Drug Bust And Gangs

SPEAKER_06 4:49

Yeah. Yeah. Now, did you see what happened in Manitoba? Nothing happens to Manitoba, Mike. You know that. So you can watch your dog run away for three days. Oh, there he is. He's still going. Right? So Manitoba, we had one of the biggest drug busts in the history of Manitoba. Oh, yeah, yeah, I did see that. Two years ongoing, 37 million, 33 arrests. But here's here's the part that I thought was interesting. Guess who was involved?

SPEAKER_00 5:13

Oh, I'm not.

SPEAKER_06 5:14

Of course you don't know because we're not in the game.

SPEAKER_00 5:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 5:17

Well, Mexican cartel, the Hell's Angels, but here's the one, baby. Here's the one right here. I've never heard of this. The Wolfpack Alliance, Mike. Never heard of it. Well, of course you didn't because you've been out of the game for a while, and you we know you were a Hell's Angel on your soldier bike, and now you get a BMX. But yeah, so Wolf Gang Alliance. Well, if you remember the hangover, they were the Wolf Pack. They were the Wolf Pack. Right, right. So that's the closest I think knew to Wolf Gang, uh, you know, the Wolf Pack Alliance. Okay. Yeah. Turns out they came from BC. It was an ex-Hell's Angel that started them up, and they're basically the same as any other gang stuff they got to do. Right, yeah. Right. But I'm like, okay, well, that's very interesting. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:01

So was it uh like one of the border towns then? Like is it?

SPEAKER_06 6:05

Uh I didn't say exactly where, but you know, their biggest things were coke, meth, and fentanyl, of course.

SPEAKER_03 6:11

Yeah, I'm just wondering how it's getting in and out of the country. Like, were they just kind of coming in through the border there in Manitoba?

SPEAKER_06 6:16

Well, it I didn't read the whole thing, but they've been on they've been on them for two years. I mean, maybe they were making it in-house. No, maybe. Yeah. What the fuck's in Manitoba, right?

SPEAKER_03 6:23

Distribution out of there, sure.

SPEAKER_06 6:25

Yeah, maybe. Who knows? But Manitoba of all places.

SPEAKER_03 6:27

But yeah, 33 people got it. Because it's a little bit, it is a quieter right now.

SPEAKER_06 6:30

Well, because of course, there's nothing there. Anybody who lives here doesn't want to live there. Uh, okay, so where can we go past

NASCAR Loss Plus Gas Price Whiplash

SPEAKER_06 6:37

that one? Um, I saw this, I'm not a huge fan of the sport, but uh NASCAR lost a very good uh driver, Kyle Bush.

SPEAKER_03 6:45

Kyle Bush, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 6:46

Yeah, and I was like, wow, what happened to him?

SPEAKER_03 6:48

He's young. I think he just did he just win a race, or he was just a big thing. Something just happened, he just came back.

SPEAKER_06 6:53

But um, like one of the races, he's he called for medical attention and he was like coughing up blood and shit. Oh, crazy. And they wrestled him to the hospital. They didn't say what's the matter with him, but they're figuring that's what he said. He was overheating and right some song. What's that? Yeah, he died in like a day. It happened suddenly, yeah. I just so I was like, what the fuck? And they still didn't say anything. I didn't read in the cause, yeah. Young guy they'll release it, yeah. Yeah, and like he's an he's a legend, too, right? He's not just some dude, like big, big deal.

SPEAKER_03 7:18

Yeah, that is a big deal, actually. I think for the for the racing world, it's oh yeah, it's a huge loss, huge loss. Well, I mean, you know, not just obviously his family and everything else, but I'm just mean like from a public perspective, right?

SPEAKER_06 7:30

Yeah, yeah, apparently was a great ambassador for everything.

SPEAKER_03 7:32

So he's just a good person, right?

SPEAKER_06 7:34

Yeah, yeah. Um, I saw this now. This doesn't mean much to us anymore, but maybe you saw that they uh invoked the interceptor clause or whatever, Mike, and the gas went down.

SPEAKER_03 7:43

What the fuck? Interruptor clause, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 7:45

Well, I don't care what it is. Interruptor, interceptor, intersects. I don't care at this point. Just give me lower gas, bro. Yeah, right. So anyway, it went down. I got fucked because I bought it the day before.

SPEAKER_03 7:54

Of course, I you know what's funny is that the on the Thursday, I drove by the gas station and there was lineups, and I thought, shit, do they know something that I don't? Is the price going up tomorrow? But I'm wondering if a lot of people are like, oh man, it might go up again, and so they all went out. Like it's a few. Well, everybody got five on the Thursday. It's real. Yeah, yeah. Wow. And then it dropped by what, like about three, four cents? Well, I think more than that. I think six, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_06 8:14

It's like down to 185%.

SPEAKER_03 8:15

It's down at the 185. I can't be honest with you, I can't remember what it was.

SPEAKER_06 8:18

I know it doesn't matter, you still gotta pay it.

SPEAKER_03 8:19

It cost me, I filled up this morning. It cost me $65 this morning.

SPEAKER_06 8:22

Well, you know though, my guy. I figured a way around it. Everybody should listen to me carefully. Okay. If you only put $50 in at a time, it's only $50.

unknown 8:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 8:36

That's how that's all I'm saying. Like everybody's complaining, oh my $75. No, just put $50 in, and then it's only $50 no matter how every time. It's just fifty dollars.

SPEAKER_03 8:43

Yeah, just the fat fifty dollars just doesn't get you as far as it easily.

SPEAKER_06 8:46

I don't care, but the point is you're tricking your own self. See, so you're like, oh, $85. No, no, it's $50.

SPEAKER_03 8:50

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd be surprised. There's a lot of people out there that are very they know exactly what they get to the mile or to the kilometer, right?

SPEAKER_06 8:57

Like, yeah, I'm sure they do, but like I said, I'm just tired of it saying $83.75. So I just put in $50. That's sure. For your peace of mind. I'm happy with the 50. Now it's a quarter of a fucking time.

SPEAKER_03 9:08

I'm gonna have to put 50 in again tomorrow, but that's okay. That's right.

SPEAKER_06 9:10

And I can drive to the next gas station and hopefully make it. That's right. But yeah, anyway. Well, so what I heard or what I read, I didn't hear I read this one actually, which is amazing. Uh, they're looking at making a handshake deal on the Hermuz and opening it up again here. Uh yeah to get it going. So they're looking at in the next couple days, they said. So I don't know what's going on.

SPEAKER_03 9:28

Well, they they said that the you know the same kind of thing is like a it's uh it's they've got the main the the bulk of this memo of understanding drafted, I think, and agreed on. Memo of understanding. Yeah, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a deal, it's just memo of understanding.

SPEAKER_06 9:45

Well, hopefully the Iranians can understand what it means.

SPEAKER_03 9:48

Well, it's a well, listen, at the end of the day, it's uh you know, uh it'll be interesting to see where this goes, right, with what the deal ends up being, because the whole reason why it's shut in the first place is because Israel and the US like started bombing, right? So like it better not just be like hey, we worked it out, the straits open again, everything's fantastic now. It better not be like that's what it is. So what we're probably doing with all of this.

SPEAKER_06 10:10

I probably are right, you know how it works, it's just ridiculous. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 10:13

It is ridiculous. But anyway, now on top of that, which means gas prices will should drop then if that's the case.

SPEAKER_06 10:19

Oh, it's not gonna, it's a summer, they're gonna go up.

SPEAKER_03 10:21

They're gonna go up, and it's gonna take a long time before they normalize again if the strait goes gets open and stays open. But you know, there's always like market reactions right away, and it'll you know, the price of oil will drop, which should reduce the cost of uh of fuel at the pumps. Not not significantly, but you should see at least a drop again.

SPEAKER_06 10:38

I can't believe it was the line of card. They were playing, see, people are playing gasoline gambling, like I said to you. Yeah, right. That's the game, right? It is like okay, gonna go fuckers dropped. Who's who saw that coming? Yeah, nobody. You got fucked, all those people. Suckers. Yeah, well, you got me too, sons of bitches. Now, you know what I listen. I thought that somebody tried to kill Trump again, but it turns out it wasn't at the White House, it was just around the area. Yeah, a whole bunch of shots and stuff. I saw the like the the lady was reporting as the shots were going off. She's like, Do you hear that? Yeah, yeah. I was like, you wouldn't know what it was, yeah, but it wasn't in the White House.

SPEAKER_03 11:13

No, it wasn't in or at the White House. No, it was just around Pennsylvania. It's just it's because of the the guy that got into the at the that convention, right? Like that's all it's they're a little bit more heightened, and so the moment something happens, it's all good, right?

SPEAKER_06 11:27

I mean, they'll sort of try to spin it somewhere. Oh my god, he dodged three bullets in a club sandwich. Yeah, all right.

SPEAKER_03 11:33

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 11:35

Whatever.

SPEAKER_03 11:35

Um well that's you know what is the problem, is everybody wants to be the first to break the story, so they jump on it right away without even knowing all the facts. But they can all say the same thing. There was gunfire near the White House, and so then it's it draws everybody's attention in, right?

SPEAKER_06 11:48

So that's right. That's

Sports Media Beef And ESPN Noise

SPEAKER_06 11:50

right.

SPEAKER_03 11:50

Um see what uh I don't know if you have this on your on your list, but uh like it just reminds me of um you know Jalen Brown and Stephen A. Smith, and you see they're having a bit of a back and forth.

SPEAKER_06 12:01

Oh, yeah. Stephen A. Smith's probably you know, Stephen A.

SPEAKER_03 12:04

Smith is pretty much what'd he say this time? Well, he's pretty much going at Jalen Brown saying, you know, did he step it up? Well, Jalen Brown's just on like Twitch or something like that. He's doing live streams and he talks or whatever, right? Like he goes on that, and Stephen A. He's kind of like was was critical of it and uh told him.

SPEAKER_06 12:17

Critical of what he was saying. Critical of the platform or whatever, right?

SPEAKER_03 12:21

And then so uh so Jalen Brown said, Well, listen, my offer still stands. Like, I'll stop doing this and stop talking and doing all this stuff if you get off of the if you get off EFPN to stop doing what you're doing, because you used to be really good at what you do. Now you're just everything you do now is like sound bites, clickbaits, right? Oh, he called. Yeah, he said, so I'll stop doing this if you stop doing what you're doing. And so then I I didn't watch after that because I you know Stephen A is gonna get on there and use his platform to talk about how great he is and he's gonna make it personal and take shots at Jalen Brown from a personal standpoint, because you remember he did the same thing with LeBron.

SPEAKER_06 12:52

But you know what though, Mike? Remember, oh, that's not the way I meant it. So people don't understand.

SPEAKER_03 12:56

Yeah, no, that's not what I said. Yeah, what I said was this it's like, oh man, now you're kidding.

SPEAKER_06 13:01

I I said it like this, but you didn't you didn't you understood it the wrong way.

SPEAKER_03 13:03

You understood it the wrong way. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, especially if you're especially if you're white. Even his apologies are not real. I think we talked about this before. Even his apologies are not a lot of people. I actually used to like Steve AI too.

SPEAKER_06 13:13

Me too at one point. Yeah. Anyway, get sold out, you son of a well, he's just yeah. Whatever. Did what it is. But listen to this.

SPEAKER_03 13:21

Here's the hey listen, the man's made a lot of money doing what he does, and he's obviously got a he's obviously got a lot of people that like him for what he does, but think of the amount of money he has. It's you know, and I think you're starting to see a lot of those guys that used to work at ESPN, a lot of those not guys, like people, women, men and women that have worked at ESPN have come out and said, like, oh yeah, but you know, he knows how to work the game, and it's why he's still there. It's why he's still there, right? But I mean, ESPN sounds like a shit place to work, man.

SPEAKER_06 13:46

Kinda, kinda, but I'll take a job anytime you're ready. Yeah, 10 million a year, I'll tough it out. Yeah, you and Barkley, you and Barkley get up there. Hey, dude, they got some some of these white hockey players that they got on there, like that are doing like some of their shows, which is it's so bad. It's so like they're trying so hard to be somebody you can tell. Yeah, you can hi everybody on the teams. I'm like, buddy, you you don't talk like that.

SPEAKER_03 14:08

Well, it's you know what's funny is that and you you are seeing it and like Draymond Green Green calls it the new media and stuff, is you're getting a lot of players now that are actually you know getting into the into this, and so they're the ones that are starting to kind of report on it. And they're you know, you get the guys like you know, Kendrick Perkins and guys like that that you know their whole their whole shtick is let's let me just be as controversial as I can, right? And you get the other guys that like just like the at the end of the day, their whole point of being on there is to present it from a player's perspective instead of an armchair athlete's perspective, right? Like so I have no problem with with like a lot of these athletes getting on there, uh as long as they can talk about the game and like kind of break things down for you the way that it should be down, right?

SPEAKER_06 14:49

Yeah, so you're gonna love this because we talked about this a while back. Remember, he was saying about I don't know why I'm laughing because fucking Trump's such an idiot. So he was saying about you know there you go, now you're never allowed in the States, right? I don't care at this point. So uh they were saying about the Iranian soccer team was concerned, yeah, you know, and Trump's well, we can't guarantee their safety. Like, okay, so you know what the Iranian say, okay, fuck you. So they decided they they they appealed, and now they got their home-based campus in Tijuana, Mexico. Uh so they don't have to come. So they're like, all right, that's pretty serious that they had to do that.

SPEAKER_03 15:23

Like, well, I like at the end of the day, like I think we talked about before from a from a logistics standpoint, it was like having to relocate. It's not it's not just relocating the games, it's refunding all the tickets for everybody that bought, and then those people that bought games to go watch or bought tickets to go watch that game, maybe they're like, hey, I can afford this this one. I just want to go take part in the World Cup game. Now they've

World Cup Logistics And Halftime Show

SPEAKER_03 15:44

also probably got hotels booked, travel book, like all of that stuff now.

SPEAKER_06 15:47

You know, what'd be interesting is everybody says, oh, everybody hates America because of Trump. Well, let's see how many people actually go to these games. That'll be the telltale. See if these games are full, because we know what soccer's like, right?

SPEAKER_03 15:57

Yeah, well, you know, the other thing will be is and it's not just that, because like my understanding is FIFA is charging a fucking arm and a leg for tickets as well, right? Like if they're not gonna be able to get it.

SPEAKER_06 16:06

Oh, I saw the tickets for the next game the other day. It was 53,000 for the floor and five, whatever you have. Bananas. Yeah, it's bananas, right?

SPEAKER_03 16:13

So anyway, so you if if the stadiums aren't full, like as you get you know closer and closer and closer to game time, you'll see those ticket prices drop. Because they're gonna want they'd rather drop those tickets and fill the stadium than like then just have a bunch of empty seats.

SPEAKER_06 16:26

Oh, I'll tell you what stadium's gonna be full, sir. The final game. Because they're having a half time shell. Oh, okay. Yep. Chris Martin is uh the curator, they said. Sure. And I have the list, sir. You're ready.

SPEAKER_03 16:40

Yeah, it's a bunch of international artists. I've seen some of them.

SPEAKER_06 16:42

Shakira.

unknown 16:43

Yep.

SPEAKER_06 16:45

Whatever Madonna is now, I'm not even sure. I saw the picture, everybody.

SPEAKER_03 16:48

I don't know what that is, but it's Madonna. Madonna, like yeah, I feel bad for her for all the pub plastic surgery that she's had to have done and you know, feeling that pressure to have look a certain way. But you know, Madonna's still, how I mean, how old is she? She's in her 70s, is she? Oh, at least. And she's out there still doing it, right? Doing her thing. So yeah.

SPEAKER_06 17:04

And listen, buddy, everybody's favorite band, PTSD. I mean uh BTS. BTS. Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't know BTS. Well, you should if you did, I would slap you right out of the chair. Because the only people that know those are the people where I taught for all those years over there that like the you know Korean. No, I think they're popular here.

SPEAKER_03 17:21

I just and I'm sure I've heard one of their more one or more of their songs on the radio, but I have no idea. Shame on you. But yeah, man, I listen to the radio when I drive in.

SPEAKER_06 17:29

Yeah, yeah. But yeah, so very interesting that uh they're gonna have a halftime show, but why not? Everybody else does for the biggest thing in the world, and yeah, World Cup draws more people than anybody, right? Yeah, so why not?

SPEAKER_03 17:40

And it's an opportunity for the Americans to not complain about who they have who they build to do it, just like you know, like they do with the Super Bowl. That's right. That's right.

SPEAKER_06 17:47

Yeah, uh, a couple more things here.

The Deer Story Gets Even Wilder

SPEAKER_06 17:49

You're gonna love this. This is I dude, I snorted and farted. I'd laugh so fucking hard when I read this.

SPEAKER_02 17:54

Shake your pants.

SPEAKER_06 17:55

You're gonna see why. So this dude identifies as a deer, okay, in in Southern California. So, what does he do, Mike? Goes into the woods during hunting season. Guess what happened, Mike?

SPEAKER_02 18:09

Does he wear what is he wearing?

SPEAKER_06 18:11

He identifies as a deer. He got a fucking antlers and a fucking uh okay, they shot. But here's the best part he ain't dead. So the guy that charm's like, it was weird that the deer was screaming at me in English. I'm like, what the can you fucking imagine? You fucking asshole. You got me in the ass. And the guy that chat was like, what the fuck? Okay, like can you imagine? Think you should see the picture. He looks like a fucking deer. He's got the thing on the whole, like, you need, and here's the best part. You know what the authorities? This is why I laugh. The authorities go, need to identify as an animal that doesn't go in the fucking forest. I was like, this dude needs fucking mental help for real. Now he's got a gunshot, but still, yeah. The part that it's so funny because you you fucking shoots him in the deer, like, you fucking jackass. Yeah, huh? It's just a fucking loony too. It's cute.

SPEAKER_03 19:02

Well man, like again, it's hunt if it's hunting season.

SPEAKER_06 19:06

I know, which yeah. Even Bugs Money doesn't go in the fucking forest when Elmer flies around. Like, that's right. Fuck, man. This fucking guy. I I couldn't stop laughing. You're such an idiot. Um you see the the the hummingbirds flipping back and forth in front of the window here, yeah. Um, so here's the other thing. Listen, if you're a sports fan, right now's the time of your life, right? So you got you got CFL preseason on. We just finished the uh uh Women's Hockey League. You got WNBA on, you got NBA, you got hockey playoffs that are cool, Montreal, hockey playoffs that are happening. Uh what else? Soccer all over the place, baseball.

SPEAKER_01 19:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 19:43

I don't know which channel to watch. Yeah. So it's porn. But yeah, I mean, uh, you know, I'll go to, fuzzy or not, right? Right? Okay, so now we gotta hit this.

NBA Playoffs, Wemby, Knicks, And Flopping

SPEAKER_06 19:53

I don't know where to go with this one first. Let's go backwards for a minute. Wimby's 40-point game, youngest player in the history to do it. And he looked like Will Chamberlain when he did it.

SPEAKER_03 20:02

Yeah, he looked pretty dominant in game one.

SPEAKER_06 20:04

Did he ever? Didn't he look like I just went the weirdest picture I saw when he was like hugging his teammate, who's 6'7, and he's like, here.

SPEAKER_01 20:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 20:14

This guy is so big it makes no sense. Yeah, like makes no sense.

SPEAKER_03 20:18

It's uh I died like in his hands. That that that's the same kind of thing. It's so like somebody said it uh who was it the other day was talking about it. I can't remember. But anyway, they were saying they said receptive because you know you don't you you look at it and it just looks awkward. It does he when he catches, but he's yep, maybe it was LeBron, but he was saying like he's still like athletic enough that like he'll catch it with his back to the basket and still be able to like spin in the air and find the basket, like and he's dunking these things because he's so big, right? Like, yeah, so it's it's it looks uncoordinated because he's so tall and lanky, but it actually isn't.

SPEAKER_06 20:52

Dude, he was fucking juking a guy and fucking shot a three. Like, I was like, You guys are in trouble if he's gonna do that all night. Like, what huh? So Shaq goes, Well, we have to rename him. Shaq renamed him.

SPEAKER_03 21:05

Shaq always comes out with names.

SPEAKER_06 21:07

Oh, you ready? Sure. He needed he named him Tim Robinson.

SPEAKER_05 21:12

He goes, He's got the footwork of Tim Duncan. Yeah, yeah. He's got the power of uh David Robinson. David Robinson, so you have to call him Tim Robinson. Sure. Shut up, Barkley. That's what we're going with. Yeah, that's basically how he did it. He goes, It's the biggest respect I can pay the most.

SPEAKER_03 21:27

It's respect, it's a state of the right. Now, he's not me. He's not me, but you know, he's he's close.

unknown 21:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 21:34

Right? Well, they were calling him an alien. Yeah, they call him an alien. Yeah, I don't really like that one either.

SPEAKER_06 21:39

Yeah, he probably doesn't like that too much either.

SPEAKER_03 21:40

Hopefully they come up with a better one for him.

SPEAKER_06 21:42

But he looks like a fucking praying mantis, let's be honest. He's his hands are so big. Like that's why they lobber to me. There you go. Problem is that like this league is his, you know, for the next few years, right? Like put some more weight on it, get a little bit stronger, and that's it's lights out, man.

SPEAKER_03 21:57

Yeah, cool. Well, I mean it's it's the same thing, so Uh you know, Sha Shays actually had a couple of good games, which like game one wasn't very good, but they you know they they they um they were guarding them the same way that the Lakers are guarding them, right? They're throwing two bodies at them every time, going like let the other guys beat us, right? And they are well that's the thing. Again, like that's the problem their bench is so good. What was it was it game three that the bench scored 70 some points? Yeah, which is crazy, right?

SPEAKER_06 22:21

Like and Caruso was one of the ones in game, whatever had 30 points coming off the bench. That game two, yeah. Game two, right? So I mean, did okay, nobody in the right, unless you're a casual fan, doesn't know shit about shit. There's no way you thought that somebody's gonna walk through 4-0, 4-0. Get the fuck out of here. Like this game, it's going to seven, right? So this this series is going to seven.

SPEAKER_03 22:41

This series is is billed, is is living up to the billing, right? Like two best two two. Real basketball two teams with over 60, was it over 62 game wins each? Yep. First time it's happened, what did they say? Since 98. No, they said. Yeah, but it was long enough to week came out. And uh, you know, and it's uh to me, it's I still I don't know. I I keep my mind has changed a bit. I I I'm giving New York I'm giving New York a puncher's chance here, I think, against whoever comes out of the West. Because New York is playing really listen, buddy.

SPEAKER_06 23:10

I've been fucking riding the wagon for a while. It's about time you jumped in. I told you. New York is playing the best basketball out of anybody, and they have for a while, and I called it. I sold everything I own. New York wins the fucking final. I sold my cats, two of my kidneys. Wait a minute.

SPEAKER_03 23:24

Yeah, you you say it's gonna be San Antonio in New York, right?

SPEAKER_06 23:26

I don't give a fuck who comes out of the West. I'm telling you, New York's gonna beat them. It doesn't matter. New York's gonna win the overall this year, I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_03 23:31

We'll see. Yeah, we'll see. Fuck, shut up. I'm telling you. I've given them a chance. I still think either of those Western teams in a seven-game series, but you never know, man.

SPEAKER_06 23:40

Well, I know, that's the thing, right?

SPEAKER_03 23:41

But listen, New York is playing so good. And the other thing is, it's just like every other year, it's who stays healthy, right?

SPEAKER_06 23:46

Dude, they're gonna have two weeks off.

SPEAKER_03 23:48

They could.

SPEAKER_06 23:49

Or not quite, but a pretty long time to fucking heal up, but that's also a play some W NBA teams.

SPEAKER_03 23:54

If they wrap up this series tomorrow night, I don't know if they will, but they nobody ever does, right? They've won 10 games straight. I know, pretty impressive. Right still. But hard to always because you're like, well, remember they were same thing, they were down 3-1 in the first round. And then now they've won 10 games straight, right? It's like finally something clicked, right?

SPEAKER_06 24:11

Yeah, they like they're definitely playing the best basketball. Yeah. All right, hang on now. We get it, let's go backwards.

SPEAKER_03 24:16

I'd be okay. You know what? I'd be okay if the Knicks won a championship. It's about time. Let them win.

SPEAKER_06 24:21

We could call Spike Lee and tell him to fuck off for the first time. Well, never, you'll never hear the end of it if New York wins it. No, you won't. No, you won't, because it's been a hot minute. Yeah. Uh okay. Okay, here's my thing. We talked about this off camera. They're playing defense. Look at the games. Like every they're scoring about 30 points uh uh a quarter, roughly around. I think nobody scored more than 120.

SPEAKER_03 24:44

They put up 37 points in the first quarter last night. Okay, that's ridiculous. Right. Come on.

SPEAKER_06 24:49

But remember, uh fucking uh uh the Spurs were winning like 19-0 or 17-0. Spurs were up 15-0. Right, whatever that was.

SPEAKER_03 24:56

It was 15-0. They started the game 15-0. Well, here's what's so sad.

SPEAKER_06 24:59

I'm like, that doesn't mean shit. Like, I'm watching, I can't go, that don't mean shit. And you know, OKC's like, what do I care? 15.

SPEAKER_03 25:04

Remember last year, like I think three in all three series, and maybe even in the finals, Indiana was down huge and came back and won in every series, right? Like they did it. And I'm talking like they were down like you know, 20, late, high 20s, low 30s, and came back and won every one of those games, right? Um, so yeah, and did in the the way the league, the way the NBA is now, like it's gonna happen, right?

SPEAKER_06 25:29

Well, if like you said, we say it all the time, if your three-point shooters are shooting fire, you're fucked. There's not here's my problem though. I I need to be an NBA coach. So any who's oh wait, they just fired uh Jason Kidd. They did just fire Jason Kidd. I mean, who could do worse than Dallas? Hire me. I'll take the league minimum.

SPEAKER_03 25:48

I'm obviously I'm assuming that uh You don't have a job. I I got my assistant coach right here. Because Jason Kidd, like, I don't know, man. I'm assuming that the that ho the that is just like okay, cleaning house. Well, they're cleaning house. They're like, okay, we're gonna build around Cooper, Cooper flag, and we just think that we need a you know we need a different coach for for Cooper. That's what I figure.

SPEAKER_06 26:06

That's exactly what I figured that Jason Kidd's like.

SPEAKER_03 26:08

Because Jason Kidd's a smart player, and he's a good coach from my understanding. So he'll have a job. He'll have a job. He'll have a job. Doc Brivers has a job.

SPEAKER_06 26:15

Mike.

SPEAKER_03 26:15

Who said uh Shaq, I think said Jason Kidd would be awesome if Jason Kidd ended up in Orlando. So that that's you know, let's see if that happens. Shaq's already advocated for it. Let's see if it happens. Has he now?

SPEAKER_06 26:26

Yeah. Well, that's interesting. All right. Well, uh, on top of that, so we are playing defense. We got Cavs next 3-0. As we said, James Harden is still sort of showing up, but not really. And I I have to laugh at all the memes.

SPEAKER_02 26:41

Yeah, you were saying that.

SPEAKER_06 26:42

Dude, there was such a good one where I don't know who the guy's talking, but he comes in and he's talking to James Harden. He goes, geez, James Jones. He goes, hey, hey, hey. He goes, I'm regular season James. He goes, that's playoff James. He's fat. He's got food in his beard. He's watching porn. He's like, uh, I don't really want playoff James. I want, I want regular season James. He goes, that's not how it works. You get playoff James. Like, and it's a cartoon. It's so funny. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 27:07

I think it's just at the end of the day, like this is what we talk about.

SPEAKER_06 27:10

It's well, it's 17 seasons.

SPEAKER_03 27:13

You know, it's uh it's playoffs are just a different beast than regular seasons. Yeah, 100%. Like it's it's it's a it's a game of uh chess, right? Like who, you know, the coaches are gonna uh try to outmaneuver with like defensive schemes, offensive schemes. So here's where I'm going with this.

SPEAKER_06 27:28

I'm glad you said it.

SPEAKER_01 27:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 27:30

If a player's hot, Mike, it doesn't matter if that wasn't your plan to guard him and let somebody else beat you. If the player's like, get in this fuck, what are you doing? And we watch those games, those those Spurs games, and other guys are getting hot, and they're just they're 10 feet away, open shot. He's just shot three in a row, three for three, and you're running out and fucking throwing your hand in the air. Oh, what about what about Shay? Shea's not scoring. What about him? Yeah, you need to fucking switch quicker. Yeah. Like, holy shit. Do you see how many open shots there were, man? Too many. Unaxceptable. In which in which game? Any game. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 28:06

I thought I saw that it looked like Cleveland quit last night, which is a good one. Well, they did. Yeah, they clearly quit.

SPEAKER_06 28:10

But here's another thing, too. Remember the old Detroit? No roll layups?

SPEAKER_03 28:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 28:15

Bring that back. Oh, yeah. So that was one thing.

SPEAKER_03 28:17

Like, so I, you know, I games are on late here. I'll watch a little bit. I don't tape them. I'll watch a little bit, I'll watch the next day. So I usually watch the first half. Uh maybe just the first quarter. Depends on what night it is. So anyway, all I kept hearing about was like, oh, you know, that San Antonio's not playing defense. They're like, they're out there wrestling with these guys. This is ridiculous. I see everybody complaining about this. So I'm like, no, I'm not seeing that. What am I missing? So I sat down and watched uh that watched the the th first the three quarters of the last game. And uh, you know, I was telling you about these plays. Uh Castle's going down, he's about to have a fast break done. Caruso comes down, fouls him. It's nothing. Clean foul he hit his arm, knocked the ball out. But Castle was like in his face, like yelling is like, what are you yelling about? It's just a foul. It's a fast break foul. That's all it was. There was nothing dirty about it. He didn't try to hurt him.

SPEAKER_06 29:06

Well, number one, Caruso's not dirty. That's not how he turned out.

SPEAKER_03 29:08

But there was so there was nothing there. And I thought, this is why everybody's getting all up in arms about it. Is because these players are overreacting to the like simple fouls, right? Yep. And the next one, I told you, the guy got a flagrant. He did give him a little bit of a shove in the back. So the flag definition of a flagrant is unnecessary contact. So sure. I don't agree with it because I didn't think it was like a blatant, really hard shove.

SPEAKER_06 29:29

But it was a makeup.

SPEAKER_03 29:30

But again, Castle gets all up and uh freaking out and you're in each other's faces. I was like, what is this, man? This is this is playoff basketball. It's it gets it the game slows down and it gets more physical. That's the way it is. Why are they complaining?

SPEAKER_06 29:43

Every time I see that, I just always go back to that game when who was it? Chris Paul and somebody on the other team. Chris Paul just straight up goes, Can we just play basketball?

SPEAKER_01 29:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 29:52

Can we just play basketball? Yeah. Like you could see him saying, like, fuck off, like all this bullshit. Like, yeah. So anyway, I mean, I keep Harkenstein, Frankenstein, you have fucking spaghetti eating prick. I can't stand him because he's dirty. Why is he allowed to pull on? Dirty just. He's just physical. Physical. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why is he allowed to pull on Wimby and there's no call, and then they go the other way. He's like stands next to him. Fowl. Like the old school Michael Jordan. Don't stand too close.

SPEAKER_03 30:21

Well, it's it's funny because it's like, you know, I would hate to be a ref. They get a lot of shit. Like it's got to be hard, right? Like to go out there and ref a game because it is so fast ref and you're refereeing. Like, yeah, when you're trying to make a call real time, it's got to be ridiculous. I don't know how they do it. So you go out there and you start making a bunch of calls and then a bunch of wine and then complain.

SPEAKER_06 30:39

Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

SPEAKER_03 30:40

Stop.

SPEAKER_06 30:41

Hold on for a minute. Just for everybody that's watching, I want to ask you this. Because this blows my fucking mind. They must have a section that they're on the hook for, right? The referee, because you never hear a double whistle, barely ever. You know what I mean? Like you barely hear like two people blow the whistle for the same foul. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 30:57

No, they all have their positions on the court.

SPEAKER_06 30:59

Right, but I know they have positions, but I'm thinking they must have, like, they must be like, you understand what I mean? Because you never hear double whistles for fouls, rarely ever. Like that somebody calls the same foul. So how does that because the game's going so fast, like ahead of time to three, they go, okay, well, you've got this section.

SPEAKER_03 31:14

Well, some guy gets the baseline, one guy gets up here, the other guy gets up there, right? Like it's usually the way. If you watch them when the refs go, you'll always see one guy down, like we'll have the bass look.

SPEAKER_05 31:23

I don't notice who blows the whistle. I don't see the biggest.

SPEAKER_03 31:25

No, see, because what'll happen is that they don't like you got three guys. The reason why they have three guys is so that you can actually get clear vision of the, you know, so like sometimes this guy that's down here, well, he can't see what's going on up there because the guys are. So this guy over here, maybe he can't see because there's like a couple players in the way. So it is, you know, it it is. I do like that.

SPEAKER_06 31:42

That's what impresses me.

SPEAKER_03 31:43

Yeah, like high school basketball, we only ever had two refs, right? Like, yeah. So, you know, you can see why they have three refs, but uh, but it's this is exactly what it is. They'll they'll ref it a certain way, and then everybody, you know, the other team will go and complain and complain and complain. So then the league's like, hey, listen, you know, they've raised these as concerns, maybe next game play attention to that. So the next game they focus their attention on like making those calls, and so then everybody else complains, right?

SPEAKER_06 32:05

So did it because the OKC is oh, they're getting uh all the calls, and then the other team they go, Oh, hang on, no, they're getting calls because they're in home court.

SPEAKER_03 32:12

Yeah, wow, all right. Well, there you go. Look at the same with the Lakers. Look at that, like, oh Shea, he's like, he's he's getting like you can't touch him, he's getting all these calls, and then next game they don't call anything.

SPEAKER_06 32:20

You know what I mean? Which is awesome. Yeah, but I told you, I looked it up. Shea Gilge Alexander has the most flops, the most hits, the most fall downs, and it's hundreds above everybody else. Yeah, and LeBron's not in the top 10, so suck it, Sean. So basically, it shows all these numbers. I'm like, well, where's Dwayne Wade? Because Dwayne Wade was probably the one that's on the floor the most in the history of NBA, if you ask me. Not because of a foul, just because he played full, you know, he's always laying down. I don't know why. I don't know how the man can even walk.

SPEAKER_03 32:48

But that's why his body failed him at the end. I think so.

SPEAKER_06 32:51

It's just too many hardcore, like, come on, man.

SPEAKER_03 32:54

He just played like his the way his, yeah, the way his the his game was just tailored to that athleticism, right? But yeah, no, I mean we know Shay's a flopper. He's he's he's initiating the contact and then overselling it to get the call. And it's bad. Again, real time, it's probably hard, right? Dude, it's gotta be so and we talked about this already. It's like for somebody like Shay, who's not a big dude. Like, I mean, he's very slight, but he's not a big dude. So he goes in there when he gets hit, like, yeah, he's gonna bounce off of these guys. When you get like Shaq and LeBron and big guys like that, when they get hit, they're still going up. Yeah, they're still dunking, they're still, you know what I mean? So it's like but still, there's a well he couldn't have got hit, he couldn't have got hit that hard because look, he just he still went right up.

SPEAKER_06 33:32

Oh, and that's the other thing. He has the most uh and ones of any, also like get the f yeah yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:38

Well, just a few years ago it was Harden. Look at him, right? So bad would Harden would go through and then stick his arms out and bring him up through the defender, and like it's like that was that's my natural shooting motion. Yeah, what yeah, yeah, round round the horn, yeah, enough. Yeah, yeah, all right, whatever. Well, and I I did see a stat and said that um so the flu that you know the NBA has tried to stop flopping and they put rules in place, and so the first year that that rule came in place, there was like 20, let's say 26 calls. It's fine, right? They find that. They get fine when they do that, right? So there was 26 in the first year, there was something like 11 in the second year, and then this year there's been one. So, like what's the NBA doing? So it's not a flopping problem. I I read this and I thought that's a good, I can't remember. I read the article, and I thought it was it was a good article because it's not that the NBA has a fropped flopping problem, the NBA has an enforcement problem. You gotta stay consistent with that. You've got to call these guys out, find them. They'll stop doing it if you start calling them on it and finding them, right?

SPEAKER_06 34:35

I remember that game when uh LeBron and Joker, like LeBron flopped, then joking, then he flopped. Like Umbrand, he's like, You can do it, I can do it. Like that was like, what the fuck are we doing now? Right, and they were both laughing about it, but like, all right, fellas, that's enough of that shit. I hate it. Yeah, yeah, I fucking that's why I stopped watching soccer. Yeah, because there was like, are you kidding me? I played the game, you're not hurt. Get up, you little fairy dust. Like, and the problem I have with it, it makes kids go, well, am I supposed to do that? Yeah, right, instead of run right through like Messi. Messi never rolls around the floor, ever, right? Push it off, because that's how the game's played. You you don't have to get knocked off anyway. Yeah, here's something else I read. You're gonna love this.

SPEAKER_03 35:17

Hey, we're old heads. I know that the younger folk will tell us that we need to stop our whining. It's the way the game's played now.

SPEAKER_06 35:23

And you know what I'll say to those young folks? Shut up.

SPEAKER_03 35:25

Hey, listen, it's like you know, and again, like you can't fault Shay or can't fault James Harden. Like, they're not calling it, right?

SPEAKER_06 35:33

Yeah, that's right. But give me that whistle, we're gonna have trouble. Yeah, that's right. So you ready for

Giannis Rumors And LeBron Free Agency Math

SPEAKER_06 35:40

this? Sure. I mean, I called this. The Lakers offered Yannis a contract.

SPEAKER_03 35:47

Free agency isn't even open yet.

SPEAKER_06 35:49

Doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_03 35:49

Yes, it does.

SPEAKER_06 35:50

It doesn't matter. They put it up. Nah, it's not real then. Not Lakers, no, you know who put it up? Uh Shams. Shams. And he goes, this is he goes, this is what they think they're gonna offer.

SPEAKER_01 35:59

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_06 35:59

Yeah, dude, they're giving away the whole fucking team. But here's the funny part LeBron's not going anywhere, and neither is Caruso in the trades. They're like uh 2030 fucking first round, 2031 first round. Uh they're gonna pick up Giannis's contract. I'm like, huh, interesting.

SPEAKER_03 36:14

How's how are they playing for it, Chams? That that makes no sense. You can't, they can't. So they're only gonna have four, they're gonna only have four players on their team. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 36:23

No, yeah, and uh uh Genie Bus Bush or Bruh, what's her name? Bush, Bush, Bush, Bus, Bus. Bus, yeah. No, no T. No. Yeah, Genie Bus is gonna have to play. She's the fifth. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I don't think so. But Giannis is going somewhere.

SPEAKER_03 36:39

He's going somewhere, but he's not going to the Lakers, they can't afford it.

SPEAKER_06 36:42

Maybe he's waiting to see if the Knicks win. Maybe. So I But again, if the Knicks win, why would they want to?

SPEAKER_03 36:48

Yeah, they don't want Giannis, exactly.

SPEAKER_06 36:50

Right. I I did see this though. They they interviewed LeBron and they said, you know, so what do you do? And he goes, Well, right now, just enjoying the time with my wife. And he goes, There's really no time for me to uh, you know, push the limit. Uh actually, there is asshole. You have to fucking make your decision by July because that's when everything starts fucking moving and shaking. If you don't tell them by then, they can actually cancel your contract and do all kinds of shit. So yeah, you can't do it on your own time, but nice try.

SPEAKER_03 37:15

Well, what it is is his contract's done because he's an unrestricted free agent. What it is is that if he doesn't make the decision, then it it handcuffs the Lakers because then they're like, Well, if we want him to come back.

SPEAKER_06 37:26

There's a word though. They said they can like get rid of his car, like cut him, or not cut him from the but not qualify him to be in the mix for the money or something.

SPEAKER_03 37:34

Well, yeah, I mean if they're an unrestricted free agent, they if he's restricted, then they they have an option to match. If he's unrestricted, they don't have to do anything, they can let him walk for nothing. Now that's the problem, is that they let him walk for nothing, right? And uh Right, you can't let him walk for nothing, get nothing. So that's the thing, right? If LeBron goes, well, what it does for the Lakers is if LeBron does go. Opens up $50 million. Then it opens up, it opens up $50 million. And the Lakers win the championship. Yeah. So yeah. So to me, it's uh, you know, like listen, here's my thing. From LeBron's perspective, fucking everybody again. He can go play wherever he wants. Wherever he wants. It's already been they've already said uh I saw Windhurst said that like everybody's been reaching out to LeBron. Yep.

SPEAKER_06 38:16

Once he finishes a calf, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 38:17

Where do you want to finish? Go back to Akron. Cleveland, it's shown. Cleveland needs something else. Now, is it LeBron? No, no, but they need something, you're right. They just need that one piece. You're right. So again, does Cleveland sacrifice its future so that LeBron is a good one?

SPEAKER_06 38:31

Okay, are you gonna take a 42-year-old blonde uh LeBron? LeBron LeBron, LeBron with 23 years in and make him your number one fucking go to in Cleveland? It wouldn't be, right?

SPEAKER_03 38:40

It'd be the same situation because Harden's still under contract, I believe. Yeah, but who's so is Mitchell, Donovan Mitchell.

SPEAKER_06 38:46

Well, Donovan Mitchell, I guess he's your number one.

SPEAKER_03 38:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 38:48

But you can do better, stay in LA.

SPEAKER_03 38:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 38:51

Right? Would you rather play with Donovan Mitchell and Harden or Caruso and uh find somebody, uh Luca?

SPEAKER_03 38:58

Listen, at the end of the day, it's uh defense. Where does he where does he want to go? Does he want to go and win a try to win a championship with another franchise? Like he's already done something that nobody else has done, right? Won three championships with three different franchises.

SPEAKER_06 39:11

Right, so he's already done that.

SPEAKER_03 39:12

I think. Wait a minute, maybe I'm wrong.

SPEAKER_06 39:14

No, because he won two with Cleveland.

SPEAKER_03 39:15

No, I know what I know he's won with three. I mean, like I'm not sure if other people. Oh, somebody else has. Oh I should so maybe other people probably have, but let's say he's the one that's led them to the championships. That's that's something that hasn't been done. Like Kareem did it in Milwaukee and LA, right?

SPEAKER_06 39:30

Uh if he's tied for having three, he would want to do it with four different teams.

SPEAKER_01 39:34

Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_06 39:35

Because that's him.

SPEAKER_01 39:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 39:36

So we need to find that out because that could be a really big deal. Right? Because I don't think he's gonna go back to Cleveland, but here's the problem. Look how easy the West is, or sorry, the East. Like he goes, Well, geez, if I go to Cleveland, we're gonna be in the finals. And I can take him to the I can I can take him to the championship. You tried that.

SPEAKER_03 39:53

You did that for eight years in a row.

SPEAKER_06 39:55

Right.

SPEAKER_03 39:56

Yeah, yeah, or whatever, four years. Or whatever, yeah, yeah. We know what you mean. Yeah, I mean you went against a Western juggernaut and couldn't beat them. Yeah, they they won once, I guess. They beat them in that.

SPEAKER_06 40:06

I mean, I it must be it. I don't see how he can leave LA, but I don't see how LA gets better if you keep LeBron. Unless unless LeBron agrees to take less money, which he won't. Which we don't think. And listen, if he does, he's a stand-up guy. Right?

SPEAKER_03 40:20

If he does, he doesn't he doesn't need the money.

SPEAKER_06 40:22

It's more of a business thing. He's a business. No, Rich Ball needs the money. Rich Ball goes, hey motherfucker.

SPEAKER_03 40:30

Spree well says so that you started seeing stories this year about how he felt like I think I was telling you, like he was saying he felt disrespected. We talked about that with the giving the game ball to to JJ instead of to him. Um so does that make him run a walk? Well, no, I think what it makes him do is say, well, why would I why would I take a pay cut, you know what I mean? Like for your organization, right? Like the case. It's not even that.

SPEAKER_06 40:54

I mean, like Caruso and Luca are like two of the highest scoring. Well, they're not two of, they are the highest scoring back duo in the NBA. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 41:04

And then Caruso, and not Caruso, but uh Did I say Caruso? Reeves.

SPEAKER_06 41:08

Sorry, sorry, white boys, y'all look the same to me. But Reeves came Reeves.

SPEAKER_03 41:12

Uh yeah, but like I mean, you know, Reeves came back, and you know, obviously he must have still been injured, but I mean he was he was no help in that in those.

SPEAKER_06 41:19

He was no help, but he was offered slow and we can't count that in, right? So we'll see next year. But I mean they gotta give it away. That's like you can count it.

SPEAKER_03 41:25

Like LeBron was the only one that stayed healthy again. That's right, which is crazy, right? Yeah, like Luca and Reeves were both out. So, yes, shit on him all you want, say whatever you want about him. He was still there and available and still gave it his all in the playoffs, right?

SPEAKER_06 41:37

Like, I mean, when you have a handstring problem and you're a basketball player, you're in trouble, bro. Once again, talk to whoever cured Curry's ankles because I thought for sure he was done.

SPEAKER_03 41:49

Curry said he just changed the way he trained, right? Yeah, there you go. So it makes a big difference. That's why that's why LeBron does what he does. He he, you know, I don't uh like he was on the Pat McAfee show and said he doesn't know where people come up with that number for how the million he goes, it's a joke, but yeah, he goes, whatever. He goes, But he but he but the thing is that the reason why people do talk about it is because he is like incredibly dedicated and very well they all are. That's the one thing that they say about LeBron is that like he's as strict as you as they come to his diet, to his routine, like everything.

SPEAKER_06 42:16

Well, he knows it works, right? There was a uh football coach that just got hired somewhere in the US uh college, and the first thing he did was ban all seed oils from campus. So he goes, My fucking players aren't eating any of that shit. Right. Yeah, wow, right on, buddy. Yeah, yeah. And he goes, let's see if other uh programs start to follow.

SPEAKER_03 42:33

Like because they're inflammatory, right?

SPEAKER_06 42:35

Yeah, that's fucking poison, right, Mike? We all know that. Yeah, but uh okay, what else we got here, brother? So yeah, 3-0. I'm I feel pretty safe in saying the Knicks are gonna take that, you think?

SPEAKER_03 42:46

Cleveland's not winning four in a row. Oh, bro.

SPEAKER_06 42:48

I don't I don't know if they haven't even winning any quarter yet, I don't think.

SPEAKER_03 42:51

Well, I mean, it's you know, each game is its own. But game they haven't won one quarter. I don't know if Cleveland is now like down three-0. Are they are they mentally are they done? Are they strong enough mentally? I don't know. Well they're done, but whether they win a game, does it a gentleman sweep? Does Cleveland win game four?

SPEAKER_06 43:06

New York goes back and be like when I told you that year about the Bulls like when did you guys decide to give LA a game? Yeah, right. Yeah. The Knicks are like, well, you know, we figure we give them one more, you know. You know, we uh the advertisers.

SPEAKER_03 43:18

Well, that's just it. Like New York knows Cleveland's backs are against the wall now. They're gonna come out and they're gonna come out aggressive. Listen, just just you gotta we gotta weather that, right?

SPEAKER_06 43:26

I'll tell you right now. Yeah, if I'm gonna call it again because I already told you the Knicks are winning the NBA playoffs. So I will say this too. If the Knicks come out the way they should for a team that wants to win the WNBA champion, yeah, they might want to win that too. That would be good. They could win both and get two belts or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Two champions. Two belts. I don't give a shit at this point. Ronda Rousey. Um what was I saying? Okay, yeah. If they really want to show how good they are, that game should be 30 points out of hand, right? Look what they did again. It should be like 130 98, right?

SPEAKER_03 44:00

That's what they did to Atlanta in round one, man.

SPEAKER_06 44:02

Yeah, it was bad. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 44:03

It was bad. Beat them by 50 something, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_06 44:05

How does that even happen? I don't know. Yeah. You could have put a high school team in there anyway. Yeah. Um, all right.

Sleep, Recovery, And Why Rest Wins

SPEAKER_06 44:11

So I got a couple more things before we get to the end here. Uh, this is really interesting. I was reading this, I always read up on the stuff about you know how to make you better and this, that, and the other thing. Dude, sleep is so important, and I keep stressing this to all the fucking athletes and stuff that I help. I didn't know it was like this, though. This is crazy. You ready for this one?

SPEAKER_01 44:28

Sure.

SPEAKER_06 44:30

Best sprinter in the world, other than Ben Johnson, of course, is Usain Bolt. He's retired now. Now, was he on drugs? We don't know. He's running a pretty fast fella. Yeah. So we'll get we'll give it to him.

SPEAKER_02 44:40

Sure.

SPEAKER_06 44:41

Is he in the enhanced games? No.

SPEAKER_02 44:42

Well, he's also done.

SPEAKER_06 44:45

Yeah, he's done. But here's the well, yeah. You know what though? I bet he could go in the enhanced game and still do well. Yeah, he probably could. So, anyway, so the point is that he uh he's a 12-hour a day sleeper. Uh tame as the top tennis guy in the world, uh, Ronaldo messy. These guys 12 hours. So this is fucking nuts. He said when he broke the world record, he says, I was only awake for 35 minutes. He said I was asleep. And he says, I forgot to set my alarm or some shit. And he says, I woke up and fucking stretched and ate a banana and then fucking ran five 959. Like, what? That's fucking crazy. I was like, hang on a minute. Because I've been reading for years how important sleep is, which is why I only look 27. Sure. Now that's my IQ. I mixed that up. So yeah, yeah, that's why I look 72. My IQ is 27. Um, all kinds of records, Mike, were broken during the COVID Olympics because everybody was resting because they couldn't do anything. Right. So that showed me, I was like, wait a minute, rest is so much more important than you can ever fucking imagine. Then I read this other one, Dorian Yates. Do you remember this dude back in the Olympia? White dude from the UK. They called him the shadow because he was mysterious. Anyway, he only trained four days a week. And he's like, okay, I'm on steroids and everything else. But he goes, remember, best bodybuilder in the world trains four days a week. The other three were rest. He goes, I'm telling you, arrest is more important than you think needs to be.

SPEAKER_03 46:07

Oh, I believe rest is rest is important.

SPEAKER_06 46:08

Oh, yeah, but you keep they keep going on and on. It's like so young people, Mike. All those years I was teaching at the private college over there in uh Malaysia, they don't sleep either. Right. Three, four hours a night. I'm like, what are you doing? I know that's I'm like, no, I don't know. Yeah. How many kids have an OnlyFans page? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 46:26

Right? They listen, they what do they say? Seven to nine hours of sleep for an adult is what they say you should get, right?

SPEAKER_06 46:31

And some people need more. Yeah. You know? They say if you have you need only five, you have some kind of an ethic genomic or anomaly or a genetic anomaly that you know.

SPEAKER_01 46:39

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 46:39

All right, so here's what's I aim my like my my target is that like it has to be it has to be at least seven. So if I can get eight, I'm happy, right?

SPEAKER_06 46:46

I do seven, eight, exactly. Then I get dressed and go home.

SPEAKER_03 46:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 46:50

What? Um what? Uh okay, all right. So this is very interesting. We took we did some jump around our top five. US, Canada, Finland.

unknown 47:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 47:03

Ready, Australia. Oh, yeah, I know, right? Maybe some of our buddies are still hanging up town there. And this one really threw me off. I don't know if we mentioned this, but it was.

SPEAKER_03 47:11

Did we mention Australia last week?

SPEAKER_06 47:13

Possibly.

SPEAKER_03 47:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 47:14

Uh Taiwan.

SPEAKER_01 47:15

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 47:16

Because I think we said uh Trump said, hey, don't take Taiwan, China, or something. And so Taiwan's like, hey, we like you guys. However, I just read this one before I came here, fucking China just put like a hundred fucking boats off the coast there. So I'm like, uh-oh. They've been ambients or I don't mean boats, I mean fucking like ships, not a fucking sailboat with some dudes fishing.

SPEAKER_03 47:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 47:36

Yeah, anyway. Uh so before we go, Mike, what's right here?
