Two friends talk: Potholes, Stupid Gas Pricing and Sports Rants

EP 59 A hose and a power washer sitting inches from a brand new car sounds like nothing… until you’re the one forced to park around it and hope it doesn’t tip over. We kick things off in foggy Halifax with the kind of daily-life annoyance that flips a switch, then zoom out to what everyone’s feeling on the roads: brutal Nova Scotia potholes, rough commutes, and the constant fear of a tire-killing crater.
From there we hit sports and go big. We talk Connor McDavid and why his scoring run belongs in the same breath as Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, then pivot to the circus side of fighting where Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao rumors feel driven by money, taxes, and one last massive payday. We also kick around the Rousey and Carano chatter and what happens when hype meets reality.
Then the headlines get heavier: the Olympic Committee drawing boundaries around men’s and women’s sports, the fairness arguments people keep dodging, and how global tension around the Strait of Hormuz can whiplash oil markets and make any gas tax “relief” feel like a rounding error. We even hit a Halifax-adjacent curiosity with a Titanic life jacket selling for nearly a million dollars.
We wrap with NBA playoff talk, why the play-in still bugs us, what fines don’t fix, and how awards rules like the 65-game minimum and weird exemptions can shift money and legacy. If you like unfiltered takes that jump from local life to global chaos to basketball debates, you’ll feel right at home.

You Wood Think? Bobby and Mikey D
Foggy Halifax And Spring Talk

SPEAKER_02Short weather, brother. Short weather. Yeah, but I mean I'll take it, you know, since it's not really raining, just a little bit of mist.
SPEAKER_01No, it's nice because you're to the point now where you can you you you see everything's starting to kind of bud and the plants are all starting to come up outside and yeah. Crack the windows open and let the air run through the house now. Yeah. Popsickles. Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Parking Garage Car Wash Chaos
SPEAKER_02Yeah. So uh I come into my underground parking the other day, and uh there's a a hose hooked up to, you know, a power washer, and they get a shop vac and everything. It's right beside my car.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_02No, like it's right beside my car. Like I have to park around it. It's a community fucking car wash that's right beside my car.
SPEAKER_00Right. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02All that fucking thing has to do is fall down like that. It's gonna fucking crack one of my legs. Uh and I'm like, okay. So I take it all and I push it around the corner where there's no cars. None.
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_02Right? I come back, it's beside my car again. Oh, yeah. Like, are you if I fucking catch you as doing this, I'm gonna put you in my trunk. Like, it's ridiculous. There's like a place for it. Like the tap's here, but instead of putting the shit here, put it there. Right. There's no car. Everybody's leaning up right now.
SPEAKER_01Yep.
SPEAKER_02Brand new fucking car. If there's a scratch on it, there's a fucking camera right there. And I'm like, this in the camera. I did that. So you know, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So I'm not happy with that. I like the idea there's a community car wash.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that's pretty cool.
SPEAKER_02But it says no pants, no what? So I have to do it naked. So I was just showering down there. People are looking at me.
SPEAKER_00Whatever. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Hey, my car.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Right. So yeah. So wasn't happy with that. But hey, good on you. So here's the other part.
SPEAKER_01So that's something that your the apartment building offers.
SPEAKER_02Clearly.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah. That's pretty cool. Clearly.
SPEAKER_02I you know, it is cool, but uh pieces of shit cars that are in there don't need to be washed. Right. So, okay. Anyway, just saying, like, there's some fucking old cars. Yeah, yeah. Like, oh, and I can see the rest. Why'd you bother doing that? Yeah, yeah. What's the point, right? I'm just saying, you know, making little fun, but still keep this shit away from my car.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, fair. That's fair enough.
SPEAKER_02Come on, man. Like, you know, one boom. Dent, scratch. People here's the other thing. People have to walk back and forth beside my car.
SPEAKER_01Right, yeah.
Nova Scotia Potholes Get Worse
SPEAKER_02Not everybody's fucking careful like I am, you know, getting out of cars, right? No. Oops. Yeah. Big fucking scratch on the side. Oh, anyway. Yeah, so that's that. And now, you know, man, there's some wicked potholes out there. That's bad. I know. They're so bad. Like I can see water down in it. Yeah. Like when you look, like hole.
SPEAKER_01Oh, they're bad, yeah. There was uh the the fella, I can't remember his name, he uh does the videos all around the especially around Halifax, but I think all around Nova Scotia, he goes diving and he goes and picks up all like the cool things off the seabed floor and stuff.
SPEAKER_02He's going diving into potholes. Anyway, there was one that leaves like he was in the pothole. Like oh, was he? He made it like he was in it. Made it like he was diving in the pothole. They're bad.
SPEAKER_01Well, it's funny you're driving my driving my wife into work. She's trying to drink her tea, she's like, Yes.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, well, you got the zippy cup, right? At least just looking for a break so I can take a sip. Yeah. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01But damn it all over my uniforms. Oops.
SPEAKER_02Oh well. They said uh Nova Scotia has 50% more potholes than last year. But get ready for this. They're also the number one in the entire country. Yeah. You have more potholes than any other province. We win. That's not the best thing to win for, that's for damn sure. But God, there's some bad ones, bro. Like if you hit it, you're fucked.
SPEAKER_01I've hit a couple, nothing, you know, and uh uh there's been a couple where, like I said, I've puckered up. God, God, did I just blow my tire, right? Oh, I know. Or like we talked about this, I think, last two episodes ago. Yep. Right near wins, right? Yeah.
Connor McDavid Chasing Greatness
SPEAKER_02Right. All right. Uh so before we get into to uh the win uh never mind. Before we get into the NBA, I want to talk about uh Connor McDavid, because I was telling you, like, I was like, okay, I knew this kid was good. I mean, I watch him and stuff, but you know, because I've been away, they haven't shown hockey. So I didn't get to see, you know, obviously he's a Canadian with a beard. Okay, sure.
SPEAKER_00Right, right.
SPEAKER_02But how good he is is ridiculous. So he's he's gonna win a sixth scoring title, 11 years. So people are like, oh, is that good? Well, I had to look it up. So I looked it up, and it said that Wayne Gretzky in 20 years won 10, and Mary Lemie in 17 years won six, also, along with Cordy Howe. Right. But Cordy Howe played like 26 years or something stupid. Yeah, for real. That's real. Yeah, yeah. So we can't count Cordy Howe, right? Yeah, but Connor McDavid might break Wayne Gretzky's record. Yeah, he's already got six and ten.
SPEAKER_01Records are meant to be broken, right? Like look at the bigger thing. Right, like I had no idea how good he was. I guess you know, same with you look at the scoring title and LeBron beating that. Like they say, oh, nobody's ever gonna break the Kareem's record. LeBron came along and did it right.
SPEAKER_02So Yeah, so we'll see.
SPEAKER_01But Connor McDavid, who and then uh that can just beat, you know, beat uh Gretzky's goal record, right?
SPEAKER_02So yeah, but not his total points or anything.
SPEAKER_01No, I know, but still, but that that they they always thought that that was out of reach as well, that goal record, right?
Mayweather Pacquiao Rematch Money
SPEAKER_02So yeah, this game's probably the worst shape of any athlete in the history of the world, but yeah, he doesn't look good underneath that jersey. But good on him, right? Good on him, yeah. All right, so we got another thing, too. So uh Grandpa Floyd Mayweather and Grant Grandpa Manny Pacquiao are gonna fight again. Uh do I have the date on that one? Uh it's not on the White House lawn, is it? Yeah, might as well be, yeah. Oh, okay. They're gonna fight in September, September 19th. Uh, and they did fight the last time was in 20 uh 2015, I think it was. 2015, everybody knows obviously. Floyd uh Mayweather won that. But I'm like, okay. Why are you fighting again? Then I looked it up. Floyd Mayweather is in serious debt. The IRS chasing.
SPEAKER_01Oh, really?
SPEAKER_02Oh, he owes like it's a hundred and some million.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02So he's like, okay, well, I need to do this because if you didn't know, and I will tell you, that was the most money any boxing event has ever made. Was the Floyd May uh Floyd Mayweather Manipacchio first five. Oh, okay, right. 600 mil. Right, yeah. So I guess uh Mayweather's like, well, if we make half of that, I can pay off the IRS and keep my Bugattis. Yeah, that's right. Right, or whatever, but he, you know, he's he's synonymous with buying shit. Yeah, yeah. He's got like all the watches, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you gotta pay your taxes too, bro. Don't be like Nick Cage. That's right. By the way, speaking of Nick Cage, whatever my algorithm is set up on my uh YouTube, on my TV. Sure. I the amount of Nick Cage movies that are coming, I've never even heard of them. He's done all of he's done. Never even heard of them.
SPEAKER_01And then I remember he's done a lot of B B movies lately, right?
SPEAKER_02B movies, bro. These weren't even these weren't even filmed in New Brunswick. We're talking like Cape Breton. Like they were, I've never even heard of them. Like, okay, and I the first three minutes like, ooh, ooh.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01But it just goes to show you, like, you could be a really good actor, but if you get a bad script and bad directing, it's I'm thinking, how bad did you need money, right?
SPEAKER_02They need he needs it pretty bad. They needed bad because I know he was in he was in hawk. And then the other one is uh is it De Niro? Uh or uh yeah, De Niro is doing like the shittiest movies too. And he came out and actually said, He goes, My fucking wife won't stop shopping. And he said the album, he was serious. Yeah, yeah. He goes, Oh, yeah, that's the problem. Yeah, yeah. So he's been doing the he was like a wizard and some sci-fi.
SPEAKER_01Oh, okay. Dive. I'm gonna be honest, I haven't seen it. I know he's done a couple of uh don't don't watch them. A couple more of those gangster movies there, but I I haven't even watched those ones, right?
Fight Cards And Rousey Carano
SPEAKER_02Anyway, so but yeah, that's uh that's big money. 600 million dollars. Like, think about that. That was happening. That was a crazy 2015.
SPEAKER_01That was I saw uh Rousey and Carino doing their way-in or whatever. Like they they look really good.
SPEAKER_02Oh, they're better. Yeah, they're both dieting.
SPEAKER_01I mean yeah, I know, but they look really good, like really fit. And then I saw Nick Diaz was uh doing the way in as well, so he must be fighting on the car.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, he's fighting uh Mike Perry.
SPEAKER_01Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah, because he's left the UFC, right?
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah, right. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02So they're that's actually an MMA fight, which is quite shocking because Mike Perry doesn't like MMA.
SPEAKER_01Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_02Mike Perry's the bare-knuckled dude.
SPEAKER_01Oh, okay, right.
SPEAKER_02Like fought in the UFC, but wasn't winning because people just take him down. Yeah, right. Because he just wants a punch in the face. Right. Right.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02This is the same guy where him and his girlfriend at the time they're split.
SPEAKER_01But Diaz won't go won't be scared to go toe to toe with them, though.
SPEAKER_02Oh no, that's why they they picked that fight. Yeah, Diaz will it didn't matter. Right? He he will not back down from anybody. But uh Mike Perry's in trouble. It's not gonna go well, yeah. Okay, if if Diaz gets her to the ground, you're gonna choke him out. Oh yeah, it's gonna be over. Yeah, so we'll see. But uh, you know, the Gina Carano thing, I'm I'm seeing so many things come in. All Gina Carrano's doing is posing. Everything I see is a photo shoot. Oh, is that she's all smiles and all happy because she probably dropped like 40 pounds, she looks great. Oh, yeah, okay, you know. But I'm thinking yeah, I don't know, man. Yeah, the fight is obviously it's a joke, right? Because you know, it is a joke. Like she hasn't fought in 17 years and running and Rousey can't box worth a shit. No. So I don't know if they like we're gonna find out. Was there a backdoor deal?
SPEAKER_01I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Well, you're gonna find out very quickly.
SPEAKER_01Sure.
SPEAKER_02Like if Rousey doesn't take her try to take her down the first minute.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Because that's your only hope, because Gina Carreno's gonna punch your face in. Yeah, yeah, right. Like badly.
SPEAKER_01She Rousey doesn't want to go try to go toe-to-toe with her.
SPEAKER_02No, but I also watched Gina Carano on the mitts.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Not looking good, no.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_02No, I mean, how I mean she's hasn't fought in 17 years. Has she picked up the mitts in 17 years?
SPEAKER_01Well, the only fight doesn't look like it. I wonder the only fighting she's done is the choreographed stuff in movies, probably.
SPEAKER_02Not that the the Disney when they fired her. She was fighting for her job there. Won that one thanks to Elon. But uh, I think it's just a whole, hey, look at the two good-looking ladies, and Rhonda Rousey probably doesn't know where she is. Her brain is so messed up. I passed all the tests. Did you though? Right? Because you're saying some crazy shit. Hey man. Gina Crano's not saying anything. Nothing. Oh, okay. Not a word. She's just oh yeah. Everything smiles. Then I read about it. She's like, oh, she's a pothead, so she's fucking hot as fuck. Oh, yeah. She's not talking. Sure. Going to all these things. She's so happy. I'm like, I'd be happy too.
SPEAKER_01She probably just ate happy. Yeah. Well, how much money is she about to make?
SPEAKER_02Well, she doesn't need the money, bro. Her family's got casino money.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, her family does, but it's still nice to make your own money. Oh, well, she's made her own money anyway. Let's think about that. Well, that's just it. Like she's, you know, she once the Disney thing happened. Well, yeah, I know, but she hasn't, she got kind of shut out of that, right?
SPEAKER_02So no, she won all that money back. Remember, she won the lawsuit.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, she won the lawsuit, but she still like forfeited like future earnings, right?
Olympics Draw A Line On Sports
SPEAKER_02Oh, yeah. She's still smiling though. Right. So we'll see what happens on this one. But you know, I mean it's a showcase, so we'll see. Um, here's a big thing though. The Olympic Committee just banned, which I don't even know why we have to do this, Mike.
SPEAKER_01Well, yeah, this was a couple weeks ago.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it was uh uh we forgot to talk about it. The Olympic Committee banned uh men's and women's sports. Why do we have to ban that? It's common fucking sense. Like, are you crazy? You know, oh no, men and women are the same. No, they're not.
SPEAKER_01But I think it's also like even even women with high testosterone, like they're gonna have to like do something to get to lower their testosterone. Yeah, because you gotta pass the test, right?
Strait Of Hormuz And Gas Prices
SPEAKER_02Yeah, you know, so people oh you know, men and women are the same. So okay, let's pick a sport. Pick one, Mike. Okay, good. Uh powerlifting. Yeah, so are men and women the same? No. A person that weighs the same weight is probably 56% to 60%. How do I know this? Because I've been in it. Uh 60% difference. A man can lift that much more weight than a woman. Is a man faster? Well, I'll tell you, Mike, how do we know? Well, the Olympic champion and the women's for 100. 315-year-olds boys beat that record last year in high school. And that's the Olympic champion women. Are so men and women the same? No, they are not. All you crazy fucks that say they are, you're out of your mind. Uh, that goes for you too, Robinho, you stupid fucking weirdo. You know the soccer player that keeps for the US and says men and women are exactly the same. Oh, you want to tell about that? Oh, Mike, you didn't know. The uh uh American Olympic soccer team also lost to a high school team. The women's Olympic soccer team lost to a boys' high school team, but we're the same. Okay. So anyway, so dude, because I'm tired of like men being in women's sports, like the whole thing in the US is even worse because they had this fucking thing called Title IX where it's not allowed and they allowed it anyway, right? Right? Fuck you guys. So, yeah, so okay, Strait of Her Hormones. What is it?
SPEAKER_00Yep.
SPEAKER_02Straight of hormones, hormones. I saw Trump's like, okay, it's open. Then I saw it today, okay, it's closed. Like, well, what the fuck? Is it a gate? Like, what are we doing? Nobody paid the toll.
SPEAKER_01Jesus, man. Well, they one boat got through. They signed the ceasefire.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Then uh Iran came out and said, Okay, it's open. And then, but then the US said, But we're not removing our blockade. And so then Iran said, Oh, you're not removing your blockade? Okay, well, now it's closed again. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm taking my ball and I'm going home. That's pretty much it. What? Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Okay. I just this whole thing just getting out of hand. It's getting out of hand. To go along with that, this is where I'm going to get pissed off again. The tax, the gas tax suspension. Yeah, the federal excise tax. Federal is going to take it takes 10 cents off a liter. Yep. And it says it's going to be in effect uh starting the 20th of April. Starting Monday, yeah. Yeah. Till uh Labor Day. And then we were just talking about it, and you go, oh no, well, it's still going to go up. Probably. So how does this even help us?
SPEAKER_01Well, it's still knocking the 10 cents off a liter. It's just with the with straight being now it's 178.
SPEAKER_02So on Monday it's going to be 168, and then next week it goes out to 178 again.
SPEAKER_01Well, if the straight stays closed, then yes. And then the price of oil shoots through the roof, then they then the that then the price of the you know the the price of the pumps. Maybe she moves to Russia. Russia has oil. Yeah, for now. For now.
SPEAKER_02I don't know. Just just getting way out of hand on this gas thing. Holy shit.
SPEAKER_01So it's meant to be, it's like I told you, it's like the same other countries are doing the same. They're trying to give people a uh you know a break at the pumps, but the flight, the gas, the price is just fluctuating so much with ceasefire sign, straight's open, straight closed, uh seats fire, ceasefire's off, ceasefire's back on. We're all gonna be out of there in a day. It's now we're it's two weeks we should be out of there. You know what I mean? It's just it's uh it's amazing how how you know what is it, diplomacy through truth social essentially, right now, right? Is is just fucking with global markets. Crazy.
SPEAKER_02Well, I I was wondering myself how much you know for gas really is. It says what it is, but how much does it cost? So I let my gas tank go down to a quarter seventy-two dollars. I don't know how many liters that was. I didn't look when I do the math, but I'm just like it just I said like 48, I'm like, okay, 50, 60, I'm like, what? 78 okay. Holy shit. The most money I ever put in my gas tank in my life. That's a lot, man. I know.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but I I usually only you know keep it at half, but I was down to uh about uh yeah, maybe a little under a quarter left this morning, and yeah, 70 69 dollars and something they cost me this morning.
SPEAKER_02Maybe I got a bigger tank, probably.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you probably do, yeah.
SPEAKER_02But yeah, that's that's big money, man. Like, you know, and I still see all these idiots in these giant ass trucks. It's gotta be well over a hundred bucks. Oh, easy.
SPEAKER_01Oh, just pay attention when you get to the pump. Yeah, like you got to drive. Yeah, like I got there this morning, whoever, you know, whoever was there in front of me this morning, it was like$85 that they put into their car.
SPEAKER_02It's gotta be a truck, right?
SPEAKER_01No, maybe. SUV, maybe Oh, yeah, SUV, yeah, yeah, yeah. SUV got big tanks. I keep bigger tanks or drive giant SUVs right here.
Titanic Life Jacket Sells Big
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that's man, that's crazy. Uh, here's a weird one though. The Titanic life jacket. So if you don't know where we are here in Halifax, uh the uh cemetery for the Titanic is just down the street. Well, not just down the street, but you know, downtown Halifax. Why is it there? Well, it was the closest place for all the people who were being brought in, right? But they just sold a life jacket that was on the Titanic for$900,000.
SPEAKER_01Crazy, man.
SPEAKER_02Well, here's my thing. I all those life jackets, nobody that wasn't used. What about all the people, you know?
SPEAKER_01Uh maybe it was from a survivor. I don't know.
SPEAKER_02Well, I'm hoping. Yeah, you know, because uh like I said, the only thing about that Titanic.
SPEAKER_01I didn't think the issue was the the the life jackets, it was the the life boats that the issue was. Yeah, it was enough boats.
SPEAKER_02Yeah right. They didn't look good. They said it was not not pleasing.
SPEAKER_01They said the ship was unsankable.
NBA Play In And Dirty Plays
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. How did that turn out? You can like James Cameron for that one. Yeah, good old Canadian fellow. Yeah. So we're gonna get into the basketball now. So I'll say the same thing as I say every year. The play-in was so it was fucking bullshit. Absolute bullshit. Why do we have a play-in? You can see what happens. The inconsistency of those teams is horseshit. They're not gonna win two in a row, right? Oh, look how good Charlotte looks. I even said that for a brief second. Then you watch uh Lamella Ball play like he's playing in Rutgers Park on the weekend with his friends.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, uh like what the fuck is with that?
SPEAKER_02How'd you do an ankle pick? You're not you're not in wrestling that.
SPEAKER_01You know what annoys me? I mean, you know, they they got beat anyway. Uh thank God. Thank God. What annoyed me was that so okay. You don't you don't you don't call the foul.
unknownFine.
SPEAKER_01Can't look at it. Okay, and you so now you can't go back and look at it. But yeah, you can go back and actually assess re-reevaluate whether it was a three or a two. Yeah. You can go back and re-look at other things. So, what's the rule? So if somebody I I there has to be a rule there that if somebody gets injured like that, you should be able to go back and have a look at it. Because obviously they went back and they looked at it uh later define it. It's just a flagrant two. Like find them 30 grand. But hey, well, how does that help Miami? Right? And BAM, when now, you know, BAM's out of the game, Lamelo hits the game winner, you know, scores like 30 some points or whatever it was, right? Anyway, I just Did you hear what he said? And he and he still hasn't apologized to like Bam came out and said Lamelo said, Oh yeah, my bad, man, I'll go apologize.
SPEAKER_02He goes, Yeah, I'll hit him up, I'll get a hold of him.
SPEAKER_01Never did. Bam came back and said, I haven't heard from him. Yeah. Sorry, Mello. I try I want to like you, but you're just an I can't like him.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, can't like it. But the whole thing, you know what he said though? He goes, Well, I got hit in the head, I didn't even know what I was doing.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, bullshit.
SPEAKER_02What an MMA fighter? Yeah. I saw you get hit, but you didn't you that's a leg, you pull it up, and he fell.
SPEAKER_01It's like it's like Trump when he got called out for posting the the the Jesus the Jesus thing or whatever, and he said, Oh, I thought it was a doctor. I was told it was a doctor. And then I saw something, so I saw something else, and this crack this cracked me up. I feel like this might be Jesus. So he said, No, I'm an I'm a doctor and I'm healing people because that's what I do. This is what Trump said, right? So it wasn't meant to be Jesus, it was meant to be meant to be a doctor. The next day they were talking about, oh no, that was a doctored image, and they were like, Did somebody tell Trump it was a doctored image? And Trump went out and said, Oh, I was a doctor. Like, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_02Like that might be right.
SPEAKER_01And that seemed that you know what I laughed because, like, that's it. You know why though?
SPEAKER_02Because if I said something to my mom or you said something to your mom, that's how it would come out by accident.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, what?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, exactly. Right. So that that kind of grabbed me up.
SPEAKER_01But it's like Lamello doing the same thing. Oh, I got hit in the head. I had no idea it was I blacked out for the five seconds that it took me to grab him by the fucking ankle and do an WWE move to take him down, right?
SPEAKER_02Mind you though, Bam on a bye, you are so unathletic. Yeah. How do you your whole body just like you just went, okay, and then fell on your cocsacks.
SPEAKER_01Well, he's he was like he was definitely falling backwards or he was moving backwards. So I mean he didn't put his hands on anything though. No. He just fell straight in his ass. He just fell straight in his ass.
SPEAKER_02You know what the sad part was? None of his boys can't pick him up.
SPEAKER_01I know, I saw that.
SPEAKER_02They all just fucking walked away. I'm like, well, they're probably Maddie scored 83 points over Kobe. Fuck you. Yeah, so anyway, yeah, but weird, right?
SPEAKER_01So anyway, I I felt like there should have been there should have been more, you know, get your get you get your fine, you go fined whatever, and then he got fined for using profanity. So it wasn't.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, because he said fucking a lot of interviews. Yeah, so it's 60. 60 grand total. I sent it to you, yeah.
SPEAKER_01But like they said, it's 38 million a year. That's nothing to him. He didn't give a shit. That's nothing to him. I don't know why we find these people. You know what the bigger thing would have been fucking suspend them for that next game. Don't it didn't matter. They lost by like 30 points to Orlando, but suspend them for that next game, right? But that's like I said, that was dirty, and it's not the first, it's the it's the second time he's done that same thing to Bam. Yeah, you were saying I never saw the first one. I've heard of them. He did it like what is it last year or a couple years ago, did the same thing.

SPEAKER_02I don't know, maybe not. He'd go, yeah, I'll reach out to him, you know. Sorry, but that's that's about his mentality, right? He's an idiot, yeah. He is an idiot. I agreed with that. So, okay, so yeah. Lakers, Lakers. So yeah, so anyway, I'm gonna go on to Lakers here for a minute. So we won. I don't know how. Oh, I do. Kevin Durant play.
SPEAKER_00Kevin Durant play.
SPEAKER_02Right. So we're not gonna go power.
SPEAKER_01But Houston, obviously, like I looked at the actual shooting percentage. Houston didn't play defense either.
SPEAKER_02Well, here's the thing: people don't even know this though. Like people uh oh, Lakers get to Lakers have the best shooting percentage of field goals in the entire NBA, ladies and gentlemen. Do your homework, have a look, see. Right? So, first of all, uh that's a big deal, but at the same time, I keep going back to Tony Kornheiser when they were fighting over and he goes, 'cause they got Luke Kennard, he goes, You shoot two, I shoot three, we win. Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. Right, okay. Wait, I say the same thing, but you're still gonna play defense, right? So anyway, it was a pretty good game because Kevin Durant wasn't there. But uh it's gonna be hard to beat when Kevin Durant comes back.
SPEAKER_01If Luca and Austin aren't back, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I mean, right. Because you know, they're that well, the other thing too is like you you you watch Houston and you go, these guys don't even know what to do with the ball because they're not used to having it in their hands, right? So these guys were trying to figure that out too, and whatever else. But Houston, remember, Houston was number two last year, which is shocking, right?
SPEAKER_01They're good, they're a good young team. They're another young team, and then they brought in Durant.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, he's like the the old hat to help them out.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, to like help them out, give them that scoring, that that that voice closure that they need or whatever, right? Yeah, he's got it, yeah.'Cause that's the one thing when they got into the playoffs last year. The one thing they didn't have was that guy that could close those games and that's what they needed, right? Yeah, that's some interesting it messed up their chemistry a bit this year, I think.
SPEAKER_02So Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, uh I'm I'm can't wait to see when it comes back what they're gonna do with them. But uh Lakers gonna have to play better if you want to win. I mean, that wasn't that wasn't a good win. They won, but you know Yeah.
SPEAKER_01It looked like I mean uh like again, like I said, like Ayton was eight for ten or whatever, LeBron was nine for fifteen. The white guy had the most points. Canard I saw the canard shot out shot the lights out. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, five for five from three or something. I can't remember what I don't know if he was five. Yeah, twenty-nine points.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, he was played well. Yeah, he played well, but not just not just threes though. Like I saw he had some couple of really nice pull-ups and mid-range, you know.
SPEAKER_02Well, this is what JJ's talking about. He goes, we need we need somebody that throws people off, right? Still there's very few in the league. Yeah, because every and you watch it, too. Oh, it's so awkward looking. But yeah, he's a problem because he moves the wrong way. Everybody's wait a minute. He's so open all the time, too. Like he's a three-point leader. Put a hand up. Like, what are you doing? Like, you know, it's a white guy. He's the white guy.
SPEAKER_01But that's it. That's what they have scouting reports for. They probably say read it at least Bond's going downhill. Don't leave Canard to help unload. He's wide open. But how how hard must that be to see blowing by and be like, God, I gotta go help my buddy, right? Like, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Right, but yeah, yeah. So we'll see. I mean, you know, they got home court advantage, so they they could do it.
SPEAKER_01Okay, so okay, let's I like I said to you earlier, I said I would assume they win game one. I don't know when Austin, like I don't think Lucas cleared. I don't think he's gonna be. No way. Yeah, well you we'll see. If they if they win game two, then they don't play game three. That's how I figure this is gonna go. If they go down to one, they're gonna probably have to start talking to them and be like, hey, are you right? Are you at least 80% ready?
SPEAKER_02No, man, you can't bring them in. I know what we're saying, but I'm just saying, as you can't do it because this isn't your year you're gonna win. It's not this year. Well, you get two injured guys, you're not gonna win. Maybe you might have had a chance that they're both healthy because you're looking real good, but well, it'll be like I said, it'll be interesting to see, right?
SPEAKER_01Um I don't I don't think they're not winning. They're not beating. We already said this multiple times. They're not beating OKC or San Antonio. Right. Right. So who do you who would you end up playing if you beat Rockets? Uh, you play OKC.
SPEAKER_02It's over.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_02They don't get, I told you I'll unless uh what you call beats OKC.
SPEAKER_01I agree with like I like I don't Barkley probably thinks they're not even getting out of the first. They might not with Luca and Austin out, but if they get out of the first, I never thought I didn't think they would get out of the second because they were either playing OKC or San Antonio, right?
SPEAKER_02Yeah, they've never had anything for OKC.
SPEAKER_01The only disadvantage San Antonio has is they're young. That's the only advantage you can have. As you saw, you know, well, I was gonna say as you saw with the Golden State against uh the Clippers, like experience matters because the old heads kind of like took that, you know, game over down the stretch, but then they got destroyed by Phoenix.
SPEAKER_02Destroyed. Yeah. Destroyed. Well, I was saying to you, I said uh 14 years into their career, the only player that has career numbers is Kawhi Leonard. This is his best year. This is his best year. 14 years in the league, this is his best year. And we were laughing because I said, Well, he's only played three years. That's right. Yeah, right. So, you know, and then they started asking the questions. They just see this. He was in the oh, so you know, what's going on with you in the company? Because you have to ask him, I don't know anything.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_02I don't know what you're talking about.
SPEAKER_01He's yeah, he's yeah, he he never gave he you're never gonna get an answer out of it. No, he actually gave high praise to Draymond for the defense. Draymond played on him in that game.
SPEAKER_02Well, he shut him down.
SPEAKER_01Shut him down, picked him so clean at near the end.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that was I don't know. How'd he pick the claw, by the way? You're right, but anyway, yeah, did what he did.
Playoff Results And Coach Drama
SPEAKER_01So that's uh pretty impressive, really. Yeah, Denver beat so Denver beat uh Minnesota last night.
SPEAKER_02Yep, yeah, it's a chippy game.
SPEAKER_01Chippy game.
SPEAKER_02We figured though, chippy game, but uh either way.
SPEAKER_01Well, that's why I said the Lakers in the first round, like they wanted in my mind, they would have wanted Houston over Denver or Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_02They they got the they just lucked out, yeah, too, because of what you call what it won, it would have flipped on them anyway. But yeah, so yeah, they definitely wanted they definitely want the uh the Rockets. Yeah, but yeah, oh so yeah, so we did uh Denver and the Wolves, good game, right? Then we had Knicks and Hawks, interesting for the Hawks, really, and uh the Cavs and the Raptors. So here's my whole thing on that. No surprises, none. Uh home team went all four. As it should. I mean, all four of those uh games are probably gonna go four one or four two.
SPEAKER_01Well, again, you look at LA, Houston, Golden State, or not Golden State, Minnesota, and Denver, they're all like one or two games apart. So again, even though they're three to six, they're all pretty much the same. So it doesn't, it doesn't wouldn't surprise me to see you know Houston or uh Minnesota win the game one either, right? It wouldn't have surprised me. So yeah.
SPEAKER_02But uh we were talking about earlier, like the last uh game that uh Golden State played, and it was Hugs, you know, that uh Curry and everybody else like, what's going on? What am I not now? And he said, Oh, Steve Kerr's got one year left in his contract. Well, that's one year. Like he says, Well, I don't know what's gonna happen next year. I love you guys. You got one year left, you're coming back, asshole. You're not breaking your contract. What do you mean?
SPEAKER_01Oh, does he have one year left?
SPEAKER_02One year left. Okay. Like, what? So does he know something we don't know?
SPEAKER_01Nah, maybe. Right? But coaches, could they break your contract? You can retire. Oh, you can for sure.
SPEAKER_02You've ever seen his back. I didn't realize a bad back.
SPEAKER_01Yep. He's always uncomfortable on the sidelines, and he's been he's been doing it for a long time, man.
SPEAKER_02Well, it's because he lives in California, the capital of the world. That's why he's uncomfortable. But yeah, so you know, I mean, how old Kerr? Geez, 60, right?
SPEAKER_01Oh, easy. Yeah, gotta be 60. I think Jordan's in his 60s, they played together. Kerr's a little bit younger than Jordan, so yeah.
SPEAKER_02I just saw I saw a video the other day. There's Michael Jordan and some other guy walking. A little kid's like, who's that old guy? Mike, we Jordan's on the court he starts shooting. Like he was at a practice, the kid was asking, Who's the old guy? Yeah, like if Jordan would have heard.
SPEAKER_01I took that personal.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Went out and scored 33 points. Went out and killed that fucking peewee game.
SPEAKER_01Destroyed him, scored 60 on him.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it reminds me of Billy Madison and Dodgeball.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, that's right.
NBA Awards Rules And Exemptions
SPEAKER_02Right? But yeah, so um uh the thing I didn't like, right? I thought was kind of kind of shitty, was so they let Luca and Kate come back with this clause. What's it called, Mike?
SPEAKER_01Oh, I uh it was just it was just an exemption.
SPEAKER_02With exemption, yeah, yeah. So Luca, okay, he went and saw his daughter again. Here's okay, hang on. So we're gonna go off the tangent for a little bit. So it says Luca went and and and saw the birth of his daughter in December. He missed two games because of it. Okay, hang on. December, January, in January, him and his girl split.
SPEAKER_01Sure.
SPEAKER_02The kid was just born, like in December. So they split like it had to be a problem for a while. You're not gonna split one month after your second daughter's born, right? So, okay, I get that, but you know, but isn't she?
SPEAKER_01She's back in uh Slovenia with the kids, right?
SPEAKER_02Right, but still, I mean, yeah, one month after he said we're we're done, like it's over, we're not engaged.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, I don't I don't know the story.
SPEAKER_02I don't know the story either, but you know, whatever.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Uh so the where what I thought was weird was just like, well, why does Kate get an exemption? That one, that one's yeah, a little bit. Oh, well, you hit a collapsed lung. Hang on, that's an injury. Yeah, so every single person, Joel MB, that do you want me to keep name?
SPEAKER_01I can name half the NBA. Are they gonna are yeah? So that's just it. I don't know what the exemption said for K. Did they uh wasn't his fault he got hurt? Okay, can't use that one or a non-basketball injury, maybe it was a basketball injury, somebody ran into him. Yeah, well, there you go.
SPEAKER_02So I don't I don't know tells you how bad they want him to win an award, right?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I don't know. Yeah. Kind of crazy, yeah.
SPEAKER_02So what the problem is is that because Luca and and Cade were gonna be out, other people were gonna be in on the first team or second team or third team or third team NBA, which puts more money in your pocket, and others tour back, so two people are gonna get bumped lower. Whoops.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, because a lot of those a lot of those guys will have have uh oh, their contracts are all written. Oh, yeah, yeah. They make the playoffs for this many assists. Winning, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Sure, don't get anybody pregnant.
SPEAKER_01Some of them actually have incentives in their contract to play so many games, right? Like the Yeah, that's a big deal too. Yeah, yeah. So but yeah, I don't know if I don't know that that minimum, you gotta play a minimum of 65 or a minimum of 65 games. 20 minutes a game. The 20 minutes a game thing is kind of, yeah, it's like that's funny, right? Cause so so what if you you have Luca who plays like 35 minutes a game and he plays 64 minutes and he plays 64 games, so now he's not eligible. Even though he played more minutes, even though he played more minutes than somebody else that only you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_02Like that's kind of you gotta pick one. Yeah, right. It doesn't make any sense, yeah. Right.
SPEAKER_01So I don't know if I agree completely with that, but no, I mean it's it's another it's another thing that's meant to like promote these guys not sitting, especially the superstars, right? Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, well, I actually I saw the stars the other day talking about Joker, and it's like you have to give him the MVP. This guy's just he's never in the history of the NBA, nobody has the most rebounds and most assists. Yeah, like okay.
SPEAKER_01What did I what did I see the other day when they were talking about the exemption for Luca and Cade? And they said, Well, okay, so then do they start putting exemptions in there for tickets, but uh, you know, people that buy tickets to say, hey, I bought a game to go. Oh, and you didn't play and play Golden State. Steph Curry, LeBron Luca, and Austin, none of them played. Can I get my money back? Can I get an exempt for for paying the money for that now? Right? Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I like it. I like it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Because like how many they they say, how many people you know, it's not cheap to go to a basketball game, man. Like save up and save up and save up, and it's their one trip out of the year that they take, and all of a sudden you get to the game and it's you know, Brawny James in the starting lineup because the fucking the the Lakers decide to get a big thing. Yeah. So yeah, it's an NBA game, but it's like you could go to the G League and spend a fraction of that to go watch the same players play, right? Yeah, same players. Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_02Anyway, I don't know what they're gonna do with that. Here's the other thing, too. We we use Jordan again. Uh Jordan, you're not gonna play today. Excuse me? Yeah, I said you're not gonna play. The hell I'm not. Well, not just Jordan. Do it do it with Kobe. Anybody, like any of those top dudes. Like, you're not gonna play the way I'm I'm no, I'm playing. But nobody gotta say, no, I'm playing.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Stop me.
unknownYeah right?
Angel Reese Takes On Jordans
SPEAKER_02You know what I mean? Like, come on, man. Did you did you see what Angel Reese just said? This woman is so stupid.
SPEAKER_01I don't pay attention to her.
SPEAKER_02She should really just stop talking. She this is why the internet's no good, because people like this shouldn't talk. She goes, Nobody's gonna wear Jordans anymore. Everybody's gonna be wearing my Snickers. Jordans are old school. Okay, how fucking stupid are you?

That's just a joke. Yeah, yeah. I saw that. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01KD said something too. Oh, yeah. I see those. There's there's there's like whoever's writing that's hilarious. Those fake accounts that are writing the KD and and and pretty good though. Uh I gotta get a burner phone.
SPEAKER_02I gotta get a burner phone for LeBron. I gotta start doing LeBron quotes.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah. LeBron's not my real son. Yeah, right. He looks way too much like him to be.
Fire Season And Spring Showers
SPEAKER_02Oh my god, they're like they play identical. It's weird to pass is how they do shit. Yeah, anyway. Yeah. All right. Well, that's it for today. So uh hopefully the rain still. No, it's summer, right?
unknownNo.
SPEAKER_01Summer's coming, right? Summer's coming, but this is spring, this is spring showers, man, is what we're getting. Yeah. Hey, listen, last astral after last year, with how dry that was, again, and you know how much uh like water tables dropped all over that. They needed a winter in the spring, like what we're getting, because the all these aquifers will be nice and recharged now, which will be good. Yeah, yeah. And that's the other thing, is that the I I've noticed there's been a couple of days where the fire band's been on until seven o'clock at night already, right? So yeah, like usually so the fire they removed they removed the fire ban, can't remember when, in October or November, and then it's so then there's no firebands up until you know beginning of April, and then the firebands come back in. Now you can't burn between whatever it is, six in the morning or seven in the morning and two, two in the afternoon. And then at two they update the fire ban, and then if it's like days like today, they'll be like, Okay, you can start burning at two o'clock today if you want. And when we get a couple in the room, it's fucking raining out.
SPEAKER_02Of course you can burn.
SPEAKER_01It's ridiculous. Right now you can, yeah. You get a couple of dry. There's a lot of fucking debris down in the woods, man. That'll go up quick, right? If you get a few dry days in a row.
