From Assassination Fears To Gas Price Games

EP 60 A shooting story breaks and somehow the loudest question becomes “Was it real?” We start there, because that knee-jerk doubt says a lot about where politics and media have pushed us. We talk presidential security, how threats keep getting too close, and how the nonstop cycle of outrage and distraction makes people feel like they’re being played, even when the stakes are deadly serious. 

Then we swing hard into real-life economics with “gas gambling” in Canada. We unpack the excise tax talk, why pump prices seem to move together across stations, and why a promised drop can feel like a head fake when costs climb again days later. From there it’s classic news-whiplash: Calgary setting a Guinness World Record with hundreds of dinosaur costumes, and an Ottawa online marijuana distribution bust that shows how sloppy logistics can bring a whole operation down. 

The wildest stop is the Enhanced Games, basically an “all drug Olympics” that openly allows performance-enhancing drugs, claims athlete health screening, and offers massive prize money for record-breaking performances. We dig into incentives, risk, and the uncomfortable truth that elite sports and doping history have been tangled for decades. We close out with NBA playoffs talk, OKC’s dominance, the Lakers narrative machine, Skip Bayless-style hot takes, foul baiting, tanking and draft lottery suspicion, plus one of our biggest rants: TV graphics that spoil the score of the game you’re recording.

SPEAKER_02 1:29

Of course, shots fired tonight. Well, of course, because the the the um correspondence dinner is usually that's where she's been most, right? That's where it likes, yeah. I I don't know if this is the first one that Trump's he hasn't been at them in years. This might I I I I want to say it's the first one he's been at, but maybe not. But anyway, it was at the correspondence dinner where Obama was making fun of Trump. So I'm gonna be that's what they kind of say was the one thing that kind of like you know pushed Trump to want to go. Because remember, he kept Trump kept going after that stupid born.

SPEAKER_01 2:02

SPEAKER_02 2:14

Like that they foiled, but they never got past like planning stages, they always got caught. Like, how are these guys getting so close, man? Right lazy. Lazy. Well, it's of course they said, you know, it's gonna raise questions about you know the security, right?

SPEAKER_04 2:36

And then the worst part is that um, you know, he's posting after it right away about how this is why we need the ballroom. Yeah, and of course, like now the conspiracy theorists are coming out, but because of the way under him with like just you know, saturate the media with like one crazy thing after the other, so you never really can pay attention to one thing at a time.

SPEAKER_04 3:16

Nobody knows what's real anymore.

SPEAKER_02 6:01

Oh, yeah, the whole lot of them.

SPEAKER_04 6:03

Exactly. But both sides do it. We know that. They all they all do it, right? Just give us lower gas prices, you sons of bitches. That's all we I don't care who wins. So that okay, so that's the new thing now.

SPEAKER_02 6:13

We'll circle back, we'll circle back to this because it's also like skip bayless is just like this kind of shit as well. So we'll circle back to that when we get to

Gas Gambling And Tax Whiplash

SPEAKER_02 6:20

the NBA. But yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 6:21

So here's my thing now. We're gonna call it gas gambling. We like to gamble, lost well over a hundred million dollars.

SPEAKER_02 6:27

Yeah, right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 6:29

Six bucks on the 649. But uh, yeah, so now it used to be it used to be like different gas stations would have different gas prices. Uh, before they have gas wars, right? No, right. I don't think they have that anymore, Mike. I think all the gas prices are the same at every single gas station. So if you think you're gonna go gamble and whatever, what else?

unknown 6:47

No.

SPEAKER_04 6:47

No, when they when they when they lower the price, it gets lowered across the board. Across the board, yeah. So everybody thought this Wednesday, hey, gas is gonna go down on Thursday. Guess what, motherfuckers? It went up. Huh? After they put what's it, what did we call it again? The uh the clause.

SPEAKER_02 7:03

The inter or the interrupter clause. Well, there's the excise tax that they removed, and then the interrupter clause came and went, okay, yeah. Yeah, well they they put it up twice. We talked about this last week. It they were knocking about 10-11 cents off with the removal of the excise tax. I think that's what it's called. Correct me if I'm wrong. And then uh within a few days, the price was just right back up to what it was before the excise tax was removed, which is okay, fine, sure. Yep. So then now it's gone up again by another seven cents. Now it's up to 184. So without the if that excise tax or whatever hadn't been removed, it would now be like 195. You know what I mean? Like is that where we'd be, right? We'll buy a bicycle. That's all shit. Oh, I just won't go to work. We go buy a bicycle. We get a two-seater. Don't joke, my wife's been begging me to get out one of those two seaters forever. Get the hell out of here. I don't want to. Can't do that.

SPEAKER_04 7:55

If we're gonna get the two-seater, at least get the electric one so you don't got a pedal.

SPEAKER_02 7:58

Yeah, one of these days maybe I'll surprise her. We'll get on one of those two-seaters and go for a ride.

SPEAKER_02 12:12

Oh, it was 88 where Ben Johnson got. They all failed. Yeah, but I'm talking about the 84 ones where they went back and they went, they t they looked at the drug test for all the people in the 84. What was banned in 88 wasn't banned in 84. And I think they said something like you'd have to go all the way down to like 9th or 10th for that guy to be the actual winner that was not you know didn't take something that was a banner.

SPEAKER_04 12:30

It's real. Enhanced games. It's called enhanced games, yeah. And like I said, if you break a record, they're giving you a million dollars. So if like whatever the uh 979 is the Yeah, but those records can't, like, yeah, like they're gonna break those records. Oh, they're gonna break those records for sure.

Yeah, but yeah, like I can't wait to see this. Like Thor. Well, here's the thing. Right, right, right. But here's the thing like you're not gonna see any fucking uh women that want to compete, like you know what I mean? Like, oh hey, I'm gonna compete in women's sports and this and that. It doesn't matter. Right. Because everybody's juicing.

SPEAKER_01 15:12

Celebrity Rumors And Keanu Respect

SPEAKER_04 15:15

see. Interesting. Is this the first time they're doing it then? First time they're doing it, all sponsored up. Oh, here's the weird part about it's two gay guys that are running the show.

SPEAKER_02 15:21

Yeah, it's horrible though, that it's uh you know, like, because obviously, like fucking around and taking those drugs and doing all that shit, it's not great for you, right?

SPEAKER_04 15:29

Like, no, but here's the thing like think of this. Think of like somebody that's just like you know, out of the top 100 or whatever in you know, in any sport. Yeah, and they're like, I don't want to take the drugs, and like, guess what, bro? If you take some fucking drugs and you go in this and you come top three, you're gonna win more money than you ever had in your life. Yeah, like I said, you can never compete in anything else. You can't you can never go back and compete. Well, they're gonna test you, like, just no tomorrow. Yeah, right. But yeah, so I'm thinking, okay. I can't wait till you're gonna be able to do that. Well, they can come awesome, I guess, but like it would be Oh, yeah, but now people have like now you know it'll always be questionable. Because right, you know, it's a hush-hush thing, right? Like you say, oh, okay, well, you know, gays are okay and this and that. Well, hang on. Well, that's a hush-hush thing, too. Still to this day, and we know what gays and lesbians. Uh name, okay. Here you go, Mike. Name a famous Hollywood actor, man that is gay, openly gay. There isn't any. None. Zero.

SPEAKER_02 16:20

I'm sure there are. There aren't.

SPEAKER_04 16:22

There's none. There isn't. Well, trust me, I went down the hole. There's none. Yeah, not that hole. So here's the thing, though. There is gay people, but they can't come out because they can never take that role now as the masculine man playing a gay person, but you can go the other way.

SPEAKER_02 16:37

Okay. I okay, I get where you're coming with that. Right. I was gonna say there's tons of openly gay actors and actresses out there, but you're saying that they're never like one of those big things. The main stars, right?

SPEAKER_04 16:47

It'd be like Leon Licard and DiCaprio coming and go, you know what?

SPEAKER_02 16:50

So, like all the stories you hear about Travolta or Tom Cruise or whatever, right? Like, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 16:54

Well, the Tom Cruise is on the island, apparently, bro. Oh what? Yeah, apparently he was on the island.

SPEAKER_04 17:13

Well, except for his son. Chet.

SPEAKER_02 17:15

Yeah, but that's not Tom Hanks. That's uh yeah, I've heard nothing but good things about him. He seems like a gentleman. Nothing but good things on the ones that, like, unfortunately, when things do come out, it kind of ruins it for you because you you genuinely want to believe that these guys are good people.

SPEAKER_04 17:27

That's right. He just wanted to be woody.

SPEAKER_02 17:29

It's like, you know what? You know, it's it's it'll devastate me if if anything bad ever comes out about Keanu Reese, because that guy just seems like a genuine thing.

SPEAKER_04 17:36

Dude, he is the nicest guy in the history of Hollywood concerning whatever happened to him. Lost his dad, lost his sister, lost his wife.

SPEAKER_02 17:41

Yeah, it just seems like, yeah, it's uh he just seems like a genuinely good dude, right?

SPEAKER_02 18:01

Like, to me, it's more like a good guy. You know, it's uh somebody's like pull somebody's broken down on the side of the road, and some guy rocks up on his motorbike and it's actually like to help him all or whatever. Well, no, no, no. These guys don't need to do that because the moment they're recognized, it changes everything.

SPEAKER_04 18:14

A couple Christmases ago, he's went to the fucking lot and strapped the uh the tree to his fucking uh Porsche. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, man.

SPEAKER_02 18:21

I see the videos of him on the train. Like the one video I can't remember for when it was. He was sitting on the train and there was a woman on the train, and she's standing up and gets up and gives her a seat and you know, puts the bag on. He's like minding his own businesses like every other guy and stuff on him, right? Yeah, anyway. I mean, that's not what makes him a great dude. That's just that's just genuine human courtesy.

SPEAKER_04 18:38

Well, he said he's just a real good fella. That's yeah, we can live with that, right?

SPEAKER_02 18:41

Well, and point being is that I would it would devastate me if only because it's like I just you know he's he's still Canadian. He's never he's never kind of he's lived in the States for probably years, I guess. Like 30 years.

SPEAKER_04 18:52

Everybody says he's the nicest guy. There's never been one bad thing about him. That's a bad movie, but there's never been one bad thing about him.

SPEAKER_02 18:59

I love his movies, man.

SPEAKER_04 18:59

I've yeah, well, I mean, you know, Bill and Ted's excellent adventure was hilarious. Hilarious, but the first one was hilarious, man. Come on.

SPEAKER_02 19:06

All right, I give him that. But you know.

SPEAKER_04 19:08

Yeah. All right, John Wick.

SPEAKER_02 19:09

I still like still go back and watch Bill and Ted's the first one every now and then and get a good kick out of it. The way he's talking, the way he talks is quite a bit. Point break. Fucking fake. Dude, that was awesome.

SPEAKER_04 19:17

Point break, that was a great movie. Yeah, you know, they redid it with shit. Yeah, I didn't see it. Uh, don't even wait. I turned the.

SPEAKER_02 19:24

Something like that. Uh, whatever it was.

SPEAKER_04 19:26

So good. Remember, he was a football player, wrecked his knee. Yeah, yeah. So good. Good movie. So good. He was Ronald Reagan. Yeah, yeah. All right. Well, we gotta do it.

NBA Playoffs And OKC Dominance

SPEAKER_04 19:36

Basketball.

SPEAKER_02 19:37

Oh, yeah, playoffs, man.

SPEAKER_04 19:39

All right, playoffs. Well, is it though?

SPEAKER_02 19:41

Oh, yeah. Fucking full swing.

SPEAKER_04 19:43

It is in full swing, but god, it's embarrassing for some of these fucking teams. I would want to play OKC, I could tell you that. It's just like they're just playing a nice game.

SPEAKER_02 19:51

You know what the OKC thing, I'll give you credit. You said OKC's winning game one by 40. I was like, no, they're not gonna win by. I think what did they win by? 36, man. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I I told you I was watching, yes, I watched uh game three, and I thought, Phoenix, you know, like they're holding their own. It's a good game. And then you look down, you're like, Phoenix is playing as good as they can, and they're still losing by six points. Yeah. Right? And it's like, OKC's just yeah, like Phoenix is just not good enough to beat OKC. They might beat them a game. They're not gonna beat them, right? Oh, listen, anybody can beat anybody over a seven day. It might be a maybe it'll I think it's gonna be a sweep. Maybe it's a gentleman's sweep, but it's coming, right?

SPEAKER_04 20:26

Yeah, yeah. But I mean, it's just listen, OKC plays real good defense.

SPEAKER_02 20:30

The only other series that's 3-0 is the Lakers and the players.

SPEAKER_04 20:32

Which is hilarious, isn't it? Absolutely hilarious.

SPEAKER_02 20:35

Not any not a single person. So circle back to skip.

Skip Bayless And LeBron Narratives

SPEAKER_02 20:38

Nobody plays. Oh, yeah, here we go. Okay, yeah, back back to Skip Bayless. Where uh shut up, Skip. It's like he he, you know, right before the playoffs Stephen A did the same, like before the playoffs. Oh, did he? Oh no. You know, Braun's not gonna win a thing without Luca and Reeves, like they're getting swept, like, you know, and Skip's Braun again. Now all of a sudden I saw something like Lakers up three, nothing is like he's going out there going, prove you know, prove me wrong, or whatever he's saying. Like, you know, the Lakers are actually better without Luca. We said that. Skip did, because now he's like deflecting from his earlier comments. Shut up, Skip Bailey.

SPEAKER_04 21:10

How do you have a job, you fairy dust? Did he really say Oh, he did, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 21:14

And you know what?

SPEAKER_04 21:15

He keeps every team's better without Luca.

SPEAKER_02 21:17

You know why? It's because he keeps trying to find because LeBron's gonna retire. What's Skip gonna do? His whole career his whole last year. What's kept him relevant is because he's not done nothing but been a uh a LeBron hater and shit on him, right? So now he's gotta find somebody else, or else what's his career gonna be? He's gonna go on, nobody's gonna listen to him.

SPEAKER_04 21:36

Well, LeBron haters like Skip. They keep talking about that, saying, Is LeBron gone after this year? No, everybody Barkley's gilts. Why would you leave? He's I wouldn't leave if I was him.

SPEAKER_02 21:46

He's still elite, man. That's the crazy part, right? It's it's uh like what's he chasing now? He's chasing another ring, obviously. He wants another ring.

SPEAKER_04 21:52

Oh, he wants that's all he's chasing. Let's be honest. He's just chasing.

SPEAKER_02 21:54

Well, he's uh he's gotta be chasing something else in the record books. Maybe he wants, maybe he wants to be. I don't know if he'll catch Chris Paul. But maybe he wants to move up the assist.

SPEAKER_04 22:02

Yeah. I don't think he can catch Chris.

SPEAKER_02 22:04

Definitely can't catch Stockton.

SPEAKER_04 22:06

Nobody's catching Stockton.

SPEAKER_02 22:09

Was it Stockton? Stockton, uh, Chris Paul, Jason Kidd, and LeBron and Magic?

SPEAKER_04 22:16

Yeah, it's something like that. But here's the other basically Magic. Magic didn't play. If you look at playoff points, he's got like 8,000. The closest person to him is 5,000, but all the people that are closest to him, no, they're playing.

SPEAKER_02 22:26

No, yeah. No, I told you, remember I saw that stat and it said comparison between LeBron's stats, playoff stats, and Steph's playoff stats. And like it showed it, and like they're pretty even. And they went, oh, by the way, this is LeBron's stats is halved. No. Oh. Oh, halved. Here's like all here's career Steph's career playoff totals, points, assists, whatever, shooting percentage. Here's LeBron, but like it was like half of LeBron's playoff career, right? Yeah. That's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah. All right. So yeah. So we went, okay, the sweep, skip Bayless, great. Um, but let's not give like you know let's stick on the Lakers for a second button. Yeah, yeah, we're not going anywhere. They uh I told you I watched that game the other night, and and Marcus Smartman gave that man his flowers.

SPEAKER_04 23:07

I told you played all three games, right?

SPEAKER_02 23:08

Ron hit the three, and that's all everybody kept showing, but man, like he threw such lazy passes in that game. He looked tired, man. So when you talk about him wanting to retire, it's like I've never seen him look like that in a playoff game. I'm sure he has. Personally, I was just like, he just looked tired. He played a lot of minutes. For all three games. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 23:28

And he's the go-to guy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 23:30

That's not what he was signed on for.

SPEAKER_02 23:32

I mean, but Marcus Smart is like stepped up incredible. Like Lakers are out of 3-0 if not for Marcus Smart, right? LeBron's the wheelback.

SPEAKER_04 23:38

I mean, okay, Durant's out, but still. You know, I I feel bad because it might be the last time Durant and uh uh LeBron ever get to play against each other, probably.

SPEAKER_02 23:47

I can't remember. This is like the first time since the L when they played was the first time since the Golden State Cleveland finals that LeBron and KD have met in a couple of years.

SPEAKER_04 23:59

This is probably it, and Kevin Durant campaign.

SPEAKER_02 24:00

KD went east to Brooklyn and LeBron went west, and they just never faced each other, and then there's always been injuries, and or you know, KD does not even make in the playoffs, or yeah.

SPEAKER_04 24:09

There's this podcast I watch, and then one of the guys on the podcast, Nick, has now started his own show. It's a gym show, and it's called No Leg Days. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:19

Right, right, pretty funny.

SPEAKER_04 24:21

But they were on there talking about this, that. So he had Brennan Schab on it. Brennan Schab is a uh on on the podcast, runs a podcast with Brian. But he Brennan Schab is a fucking bulldozer, like he's so strong it doesn't even make sense. Right, and if you look and go, really, but he is it's stupid.

SPEAKER_00 24:34

Yep.

SPEAKER_04 24:35

They were saying Kevin Durant, they were talking bench press, uh Brennan bench pressed like two 225 for like 30 fucking reps or something. Right. He said Kevin Durant can't bench press 135 pounds. Oh well. I went, what? Like he is skin and bones, basically dick and ribs, you know, like the rest of them. But yeah, I'm like I did see LeBron teasing them the other day saying I know he wants to say that he's 6'9, 6'10.

SPEAKER_02 24:57

He goes, he's he's seven feet or taller.

SPEAKER_04 24:59

Oh, he has to be, right? Yeah, he has to be. Think of Wimby in sneakers, he's seven and a half feet tall. Yeah, that's bananas.

Wemby Defense And Foul Baiting

SPEAKER_04 25:06

Yeah. And speaking of that, Wimby, unanimous defensive player of the year. Now, I don't know, he should have been unanimous, but we'll give it to him. Oh man, what he's doing on the head of the game.

SPEAKER_02 25:16

Not just that, like it's just he just Well, tell you what he blocked the best was the floor with his face. Teams have to like completely change your game when Wemby's there because he is, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 25:27

I love the one where they uh the short ass motherfuckers try to figure this one out, and Wimby's like not having it. See how you go in and eat and you use your body as things go, fuck you. Yeah, like he just stands there too. Yeah, you can you like jump backwards almost and then like all of a sudden he's right there. Yeah, and he's still able to get it. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 25:47

So yeah.

SPEAKER_04 25:48

The best part is the look in the face of the guy, what the fuck is that?

SPEAKER_02 25:51

I don't like I still don't think he gets MVP this year. I think it's it's unfortunately it probably is gonna go to Shay.

SPEAKER_04 25:56

And it shouldn't. There's no way it should go to Shay. It has to go to Joker, but now they're probably saying he's not gonna get it now because they're only gonna be in the fucking playoffs in a couple of days. Regular season award is supposed to be, so it's not that we know that, but yeah, fucking shit. Yeah, well, okay, well, that's the other thing we had. He got the clutch player of the ear. Shea did, yes. Now, I'm okay with that because that's off real fucking statistics. Metrics, I don't what is it? I don't know if it's the last like two minutes. Last five minutes.

SPEAKER_02 26:19

Last five minutes, there you go. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 26:20

So that tells you something. Well, who do you want the ball in your hand in the last five minutes? Obviously, Shay. Yeah. Right? But I tell you what, fellas, you watch the OKC game. Do you know how many times Shea was fucking wide open? What are you doing?

SPEAKER_01 26:30

I know.

SPEAKER_04 26:31

You know, one of the top shooters in the fucking NBA, you're like, he can add a cup of coffee and then shot a three. Like, get the fuck out of here with you guys. Yeah, it's great.

SPEAKER_02 26:41

I like I've said to you before, I like Shay. I just I hate the foul baiting stuff, right? Oh, I know it's part of the game and he's playing within the rules, but it's it used to drive me nuts about James Hart and it drives me nuts about Shay.

SPEAKER_04 26:52

James Harden used to drive me nuts. But you you saw last night in the game. Clear foul, and they even baldisti goes, I don't need it, I don't need it. Like that. Shea.

SPEAKER_02 27:00

Oh, I didn't even see it. Yeah, yeah, he goes, I don't need it, I don't need it. Yeah. Like, okay. There was one where they called, I can't remember, I don't know the guy's name that plays for Phoenix. Uh yeah, nobody knows him. Uh Gillespie, Gill Gillespie or something like that. There's a Gillespie on the team. Um white guy. Yeah, yeah. And uh Shea and he and Shay are kind of going, and I think it was Gillespie, let's say it was. And uh like Shay clearly like elbows in the middle of the state. He does that a lot of them. And and the cow was called on Gillespie. Shea does that a lot. Yeah, yeah. Well they all shove off, they all push off.

SPEAKER_04 27:30

They do, but that elbow's up around the head. I watched Ron Art Test fucking highlights. Oh man.

unknown 27:37

Holy fuck.

SPEAKER_04 27:38

Yeah, he threw an elbow with some bro, and he's okay. Oh, yeah. Who was it? I mean, it's like the spin it just smoked him.

SPEAKER_02 27:44

I'm like, oh my god. It was bad, man.

SPEAKER_04 27:46

And then Ben Wallace tried to grab a hold of me and say, I don't want any of that.

SPEAKER_02 27:49

Yeah, no shit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 27:50

I remember that one.

SPEAKER_02 27:51

It was so bad. He nailed him so hard. Yeah, fuck, it was hard. And he wound up. Oh, yeah, he wound up. There was no beautiful. It was no just like, oh, I'm just like swinging to clear some room. No, he wound up. Oh man.

SPEAKER_04 28:00

We remember when the boys used to fucking clear, you know, yeah. Yeah. You're gonna get cut. Um, okay. So the plus, yeah, yeah, great. Uh his concussion was fucking, he was unconscious, bro. He saw he was out. His arm, his face hit. He was out, yeah. He didn't know where he was, no idea what happened.

SPEAKER_02 28:15

That's what I mean. Concussion protocol is 48 hours with like, you know, he was on the sideline, looked okay.

SPEAKER_04 28:20

He looked okay, but I mean they can look at the thing. I hope they don't give him a math test, he's not that bright.

SPEAKER_02 28:26

So I think I can't remember. I don't I don't know exactly what the concussion protocol is. We'll have to go look it up, but uh well, yeah, you have to pass all the tests now. Yeah, within you know, it's like you're ruled out of anything for 48 hours or 72 hours, whatever it is, and then they gotta start running all those tests, and you gotta like probably probably pass the test two or three times before.

SPEAKER_04 28:41

That team is average in no wimby.

SPEAKER_02 28:43

Yeah, I was actually surprised because like fucking Portland was winning that game, and again, like that just shows you Portland just got nothing. Portland's got nothing.

SPEAKER_04 28:50

Who's on that team? Right? Uh so yeah, we've got the clutch, we got uh oh,

Tanking Debate And Lottery Suspicion

SPEAKER_04 28:55

you're gonna love this. This is the best thing. First time in NBA history, eight teams had 55 or more loss. Yeah, you were saying that. Yeah, that's holy shit.

SPEAKER_02 29:04

Which again, like they're trying to fix tanking, and it actually seems like it's getting worse. Those guys that are like, well, we're not gonna make the playoffs, let's just shit the bet, right? Yeah, I don't even understand it. No.

SPEAKER_04 29:13

I don't know what they're how they get what's the plan for that? Have you heard of it? I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 29:16

I don't know. There's no oh no, they keep trying things, but there's nothing you can do.

SPEAKER_04 29:19

It's just the way it is. Yeah, right?

SPEAKER_02 29:21

Uh well, what I saw was uh screw the screw the the the higher lottery odds, then all right, right? Doesn't matter where you finish, if you don't make the playoffs, everybody that gets a everybody gets a certain amount of balls. Sure. Right? And anybody that makes the playoffs gets less. Do it that way. Whatever. I don't know. Stops the tanking, right?

SPEAKER_04 29:40

Well, what's the difference if everybody gets a fair shake? Because it's not a fair shake now, right? It's not you can't complain. No, right? No. Stupid. Who are they who are they fucking tanking for anyway? Who's coming up?

SPEAKER_02 29:50

But again, like fucking, come on, like really Dallas trades away Luca to the Lakers to like the biggest franchise and you know, yeah, the the the biggest money maker in the NBA, and and then Dallas wins the wins the lottery with like really shitty odds. Like, come on, man.

SPEAKER_04 30:05

The NBA, yeah, we live in a we live in a simulation, says Elon Musk. And when that happened, I went, he might be right. Yeah, because that was bullshit. Nah, it was just right. That was I forgot to mention this to me. Maybe it was real, but who's the who's the clown that owns uh the Clippers? What's his name? Uh Steve Baummer. Yeah, he's like 71. Anyway, he's like, he just had to give a deposition the other day. Because there's that shit's still going on. About the yeah, yeah. And he goes, he goes against. Well, you know, I was defrauded too. I didn't know. Oh, yeah. He's been saying that's his that's been his excitement. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the thing in the like, hang on a minute. Then they went back and showed all the things he did. He's a little bit shifty, a little bit shifty, this fellow. So, not to mention he's on fucking Adderall or something because he's got way too much energy. Yep. He's a clown. Don't like him. Don't like him. So yeah, there's another thing. What what's gonna happen with that whole scenario? Like, who gets fined? Will it be Kawhi? Because he was hands-off, remember? You don't have to say anything? Like, who gets fucked there? Because the the NBA could could fucking throw him out for a year.

SPEAKER_02 30:59

Well, if he if if he if it's if yeah, if they prove that he knew what he was doing by taking this money, then you can't percent, right?

SPEAKER_04 31:05

You know what I saw the other day. I don't know what this was. It had Tracy McGrady, some chick, sorry, girl, uh Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony on the dais for basketball. Now, she's probably a player I didn't catch who she was. I was like, probably Candace Parker. Look at the cousins. Look at these two fellas hanging out again. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, and fucking Vince still not married, but yeah, whatever.

SPEAKER_02 31:25

Yeah, no, it's my Candace Parker's been doing MBA games. Is that who it was? Well, she's been doing an NBA games for a while.

SPEAKER_04 31:30

I'm not good at faces and never put the names because you don't need to put the names for those three gentlemen. So it probably was Candace Parker. One of the greatest female players ever to play, man. Exactly. But I didn't know these guys had a show, like especially the cousins.

SPEAKER_02 31:40

Well, they all got shows now.

SPEAKER_04 31:41

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_02 31:42

Right? Like yeah, like with the with the once uh the the way it all started this year, like NBC's got their shows. You got the the the NBA Prime now that has their shows, right? Like, yeah, and a lot of these guys now work for these, or they just work straight up for some of the uh the uh the organizations, the broadcasting corporation for whatever whatever covers that organization, right? Like um some guys like Del Curry did Charlotte for years or whatever, right? Did Charlotte Gates for years, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 32:07

Well, here's the thing, then who's gonna be rookie of the year?

SPEAKER_02 32:10

That's tight tight race, they say it's gonna be Cooper Flag. Uh, or that uh his his his college roommate canupal there.

SPEAKER_04 32:17

Yeah, uh how do you have to con canoople or whatever? Another white dude. Yeah. White dudes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a roommate.

SPEAKER_02 32:23

Yeah, it was roommate from uni.

SPEAKER_04 32:25

Pretty crazy, but I think it'd get a good one.

SPEAKER_02 32:27

Well that's why they well, that's why they said the the fix was on. Oh at the end, remember. Well, not the fix was on, but it's like the near the end, they were just like feeding Cooper everything, right? To like up his numbers or whatever to improve his chance. Listen, Cooper Flag is he's good. But Canuple had an awesome year, man. Like, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 32:42

Well, he's a shooter, he's a three-point shooter, yeah. He's a three-point shooter. Yeah, well, he's not a good one. He's more than that player, but yeah. Ever is a rookie or something, too, I think. Most three points ever is a rookie.

SPEAKER_02 32:51

I think he, I think he did. I think he did, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 32:52

Yeah. But that's not enough because Cooper Flag is a box, yeah. Box score full. He's he's gold, man. He's awesome. Oh, he's good. Dude, he's not gonna be 19 yet. I know, man. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 33:01

Crazy. Yep.

SPEAKER_04 33:02

Uh, okay, what else do we got? So the losers, playoffs. This clutch, Lakers. Okay.

Jokic Blowup And Unwritten Rules

SPEAKER_04 33:10

All right. Jordan McDaniels, son. You are a POS. You already got the game up 20. You go down and lay the ball up for what reason? Other than to get Joker ejected from the game.

SPEAKER_02 33:25

Well, Joker was frustrated. I think they said one for 10 or something. Yeah, yeah. He wasn't having a good game. He was having a bad game.

SPEAKER_04 33:30

Dude, he ran. Did you say that he ran? Oh, he did, yeah. Yeah, because you don't disrespect him, and the brothers came down the stands. Like, oh it's just too judged.

SPEAKER_02 33:37

Yeah, it's like I said, when Barkley and Barkley and Shaq were talking about it. Shaq didn't see a problem with it, Barkley did. I I I see obviously he was doing it because he was he wanted to rub it in and get under their street.

SPEAKER_04 33:47

And if you don't know who uh this fella is, he causes nothing but problems, not just to them, but to everybody all over the years. That's his thing. It's bad.

SPEAKER_02 33:57

You're up by almost 20. It's like four seconds left. I saw when they were talking to me. He's like, well, there was still time left in the clock. It's like, dude, you're up.

SPEAKER_04 34:03

Play to the whistle, twin to the end.

SPEAKER_02 34:04

Yeah, but just yeah.

SPEAKER_04 34:06

Here's the thing, like I said to you off camera.

SPEAKER_02 34:08

It's at the end of the day, it's not real, it's not the end of the world, but it's it's it's they say it's the unwritten rule now. Like that's an unwritten rule, it's a dribble it out. Yeah, I don't think it deserved the reaction that Joke Joker gave it, but that's just his frustration.

SPEAKER_04 34:19

Well, he was mad, he played shit the whole game, right? Yeah, so what are you gonna do? Exactly, right? What are you gonna do? Yeah, right. But like I said to you, but you're not gonna do anything. Joker's not gonna throw a punch and then not be able to go to the next game. Well, they said though, though, are they gonna be suspended for the next game? There's no way in fucking bloody hell. Right. That the NBA is gonna go, yeah, we should probably take the two best players. No, right? No, yeah, not a good idea.

SPEAKER_02 34:42

No, now Minnesota is already gonna be without. Oh, they're screwed. Yeah, Anthony Edwards is gone. Well, they won last. Yeah, I mean, well, that's what you said. We'll see what comes out of Edwards. It looks like he hyperextended his knees, so we'll see what that turns out. DiVincenzo is done. Like that was an AI. Achilles. Over. I thought, oh, you think it's Achilles? I thought it was. Oh, did they? Okay.

SPEAKER_04 35:01

Yeah, they said the white guy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Achilles, they said, yeah. Oh, okay, shit. Achilles.

SPEAKER_01 35:05

He's definitely done, man.

SPEAKER_04 35:06

Yeah. Yeah. He was pissing nobody came on the floor to help him. You see that? No, I see. He was sitting on the floor, the guy goes, he goes, Come on.

SPEAKER_02 35:13

Well, again, you don't see what happens, right?

SPEAKER_04 35:14

Like it like it was nothing, it was non-contact.

SPEAKER_02 35:16

It was non-contact, sod. He went to push off in his leg.

SPEAKER_04 35:19

Well, I remember when the Durant one happened, he turned around and goes, Did you kick me? Yeah. He goes, No. He goes, What? Like, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 35:24

Well, that's when the Achilles tears, that's what they say it feels like somebody kicked you in the back of the leg.

SPEAKER_04 35:28

Yeah, it's so weird, eh? Yeah. Yeah, anyway. But yeah, so we don't want to see anybody injured.

SPEAKER_02 35:31

Speaking of that, though, like, look at fucking potato. Yep. Like you're looking real, like, you know, looking like Potoman. But nowadays with the stem cells and the holy thing. I know we've talked about this before, but like he's actually out playing. Boston's looking, you know. They look good. They look good. Yep. We couldn't go out with the biggest. Detroit's not looking good, so right now I'm thinking of it. Boston coming out of the East here, right? Dude, how did Detroit play that well all year and now it just went to hell? I don't know. Like maybe Orlando just has their number. Sometimes matchups matter, right? Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_04 36:02

That is true.

SPEAKER_02 36:02

We know you know that, but I don't know. I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't watch a lot of Orlando Magic or Detroit Pistons games.

SPEAKER_04 36:09

No kidding, they don't show them. No. The only person watching those is a kid rock. Detroit boy, right? Yeah, and well, probably some other car guys in there too, but you know. Um so here's my biggest pee for this

Broadcast Spoilers And Smart Box Rage

SPEAKER_04 36:21

thing. I told you about this. I'm so pissed. Okay. So we have these new boxes, eh, Mike? You know, from Bell and Rogers, and they call the smart box, right? Oh yeah. And the box does what, Michael? Well, it records shit. Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah. So watching the basketball game, and I'm recording the other game, as most of us basketball fans do. A lot of us will record the other game because we want to see the game. You know, you can fast forward to halftime or whatever, it doesn't matter. So I'm watching the game, and then out of the corner of my eye, top left corner of my television, keep showing the score of the game I'm recording.

SPEAKER_02 36:56

The ticker. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 36:59

What the fuck are you doing? I don't know who's doing TSN, NBA, NBA. I don't know, somebody's doing it. So here's okay. So let's picture this the boardroom table.

SPEAKER_02 37:09

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 37:10

Probably some. I'm sorry, I'm gonna go with this one. Probably some lady that is. Hey, watch, watch, you'll see that. Probably some lady that's never watched basketball or hates that her husband watches basketball when he should be paying attention to her. Maybe they want to go for a walk or down to the fisherman's American rap. He's like, no, no, no, Lakers are playing honey. Okay, she's like, so I'll tell you what. So I'll tell you what, I think it's a good idea if we put the score in the top corner to piss off all the basketball fans. Yeah, that's a great idea, Shirley. Let's let's do that. Or Karen. Sure.

SPEAKER_01 37:44

Yeah. All right.

SPEAKER_04 37:45

So yeah, so she's like, yeah, okay, let's do it. There is nobody. Nobody shut up. There is nobody in the history of fucking sports that wants the score of the other game in the corner of the game. There was nobody.

SPEAKER_02 37:59

So like the ticker's been there forever. I mean, the ticker was there when we were young.

SPEAKER_04 38:02

I told you I had to take the fucking towel. I had to put a towel over the corner of the fucking game. Yeah. So I couldn't see the score because I was recording the other game.

SPEAKER_02 38:09

Yeah, fair enough. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 38:10

Here's the thing, though. You know, Stan Van Gundy and uh fucking uh uh who's the Pacers guy? Reggie, good old Reggie. They will come on and go, hey, if you're watching the other game, three, two, one, we're gonna tell you the score, you know. And that's what they do. Not this one, whoever the fuck decided this. So Shirley or Karen, take that the fuck off the TV. Or Frank or Bob. Or Frank or Bob. Yeah, yeah. I'm still it's funny. I think it's funny because I think it's a wife that's mad at her husband for not paying attention to her on the Sunday or Saturday. I agree with that, ladies. But take it off for me and Mike.

SPEAKER_02 38:41

I don't want to see it anymore. The uh, I don't know if you so years, a few years ago when the whole Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift thing started happening. A lot of there's the videos going around where the wives were going, like, we're gonna get our husbands worked up, and they were saying, Oh no, what they do, and they would just well, they would say, Oh, I heard about this, you know. Oh he's gonna be, you know, he's gonna be so popular now, and da-da-da-da. Oh, wait, he's so popular now. What are the best football players? But that was the whole point of the video was the women knew. They were just telling their husbands this, like, oh, you know, Taylor's Taylor's boyfriend, and like they would get so worked up. He's like, He's a fucking all-star. He's all you know, all property. His brother's also, of course, the women are filming the reacts and the show, like how the men are overreacting. Yeah, that's pretty funny.

SPEAKER_04 39:23

That was funny, actually. Thinking of that one, I met I somehow got onto this algorithm where husband and wife are doing pranks on each other, buddy. They this husband puts like the cellophane. Oh, yeah, and they walk into it. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 39:37

She must have just did her makeup to go on. She's all just she goes. She looks like Miss Piggy, and she comes off.

SPEAKER_00 39:42

She's like, You fucking asshole.

SPEAKER_03 39:44

Like the whole thing, he's just dying. And I bet he ran for his ass. Yeah, it's pretty funny.

SPEAKER_04 39:49

Like they just get shmeated, they don't see it. Yeah. I saw one with a cat too. They had a cat, the cat fucking rock stuck in it. Yeah, the summer. Those those uh prank wars between husband and wife are pretty fucking serious. Summer tomorrow. Pretty funny.

SPEAKER_02 40:02

I see the ones too where they get the balloons that are loaded with like oh, like uh paint or something or whatever it is. You can't be them, it can't be paint, but it's something, right? That they just uh yeah. They swing them, they shoot them, they do everything, they're gonna blow up the pop the bubble above her head or whatever. Well, yeah, I'm at the age now, my great watch of these prices. Who's gonna clean that shit? Here's one of them. One of my coworkers came in and said, You said, You want to see like the how to get a man worked up? Tell him that you think convertibles are stupid. That was her thing. You should see how many people like just like for jokes, they'd be like, I don't see the point of convertibles, and like so many people will get like really oh, and they want to defend convertibles.

SPEAKER_01 40:36

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's funny. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 40:38

Convertibles are the whole thing. All right. Well, hey, everybody's angry at some point.

Tonight’s Games And Jersey Wishlist

SPEAKER_04 40:42

Yeah. All right. So who we got today playing?

SPEAKER_02 40:44

We got uh Lakers and well Lakers and Lakers tonight. Lakers Houston could could wrap up tonight. We'll see. I'm Boston uh can go up Boston and um Sixers tonight in in Philly. So we'll see what comes out of it.

SPEAKER_04 40:55

Now MB probably still not playing with his appendectomy. I mean, they can't have that.

SPEAKER_02 40:59

He's not playing, but like I said to you, I said they still got Paul George, who's still good. I mean he's you know, when he when he's healthy, and then you got uh Tyrese Maxie and uh VJ Edge come. Like they got a good one.

SPEAKER_04 41:07

You know what I still I don't have it and I want one. Every time I see the Sixer, I need I want an Iverson jersey. Those Sixer jerseys are sharp, man. I want an Iverson jersey, I gotta find one somewhere. So if anybody knows, send it to me. Extra large. So I know those two games, but I don't know who else is.

SPEAKER_02 41:21

I don't know what the what the other games are. I'm assuming San Antonio Portland must be today. It wasn't yesterday.

SPEAKER_04 41:25

Yeah, that has to be today, too. So Wimby might be back, but then here's the other thing, too. I read that uh Reeves could be back. There's no way Luca's coming back. Why would they?

SPEAKER_02 41:35

They're up 3-0. Yeah, I'd still sit Reeves.

SPEAKER_04 41:38

Well, here's no no no. Here's the thing, though. They said like Reeves is gonna come back, not this series, but next, but they said Lucas probably not coming back. Yeah. Oh at all.

SPEAKER_02 41:46

We figured that, yeah. I read that. Oh, he's done for the oh I didn't know that. I didn't read I didn't read he was done for the year.

SPEAKER_04 41:50

Yeah, they and they said Reeves not.

SPEAKER_02 41:52

Well then Lakers, Lakers stand no chance. They stand no chance. They already, you know, they're gonna be playing OKC next year. But here's the thing.

SPEAKER_04 41:58

Right, right, they're fucked. Yeah, it doesn't matter. You need all your firepower to play those guys because they're gonna shoot the lights out and their defense is the number one in the league.

SPEAKER_02 42:06

Well, we were what were we saying? I mean, we we've been I've been saying this for the the probably last four or five episodes. The matchup the Lakers won was Houston, and they got it, and they're doing exactly what I mean they're doing it without Luca and Austin, which is crazy. I mean, no KD on the other end, but still. Um but Houston's horrible down the stretch. They just make bonehead plays all the time down the stretch. They're they're still young.

SPEAKER_04 42:24

And they really don't have anybody, right?

SPEAKER_02 42:25

Yeah, they don't have, yeah, that's right. They really don't. And then uh, but then we always said, like, but then their next opponent will be OKC, and they won't beat them.

SPEAKER_04 42:32

No.

SPEAKER_02 42:32

Right? So it doesn't matter. Like, even with Luca and Austin, maybe they'd make it more of a series, but I don't think the only team that's gonna beat. They beat them by like 30 some points in games. But not even because bad. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 42:45

The only team that even gonna have a chance is the Spurs, because the Spurs have their number. Even SGA said it. He goes, they just they're just better. They got us.

SPEAKER_02 42:55

I won't count out, I won't count out Minnesota just because Anthony Everett is that good.

SPEAKER_04 43:00

Well, if he's not playing, though.

SPEAKER_02 43:02

Yeah, that's what I mean. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. If he's gone, that's over because he is that good. This guy last time. I can't even couldn't even tell you his name.

SPEAKER_04 43:08

Dude, I don't know how to pronounce his name. He scored 45 points, yeah. Like, he's the backup, he's his backup. Like, who the fuck is this guy?

SPEAKER_02 43:16

I think they were talking at the end and uh to Julius Randle because Minnesota also has Julius Randle. That's right. And uh he's like, I didn't know he could do that.

SPEAKER_04 43:24

Actually, probably nobody did because he never had the chance because you're the backup, the fucking the one of the top five players in the league.

SPEAKER_02 43:30

This is what uh this reminds me of uh crazy. I don't know how to say his name sometimes. Now I can't think of the guy's names. He yeah, I can't think of his name. He played for the Miami, had a really good playoff run. Kate Vincent, I think. And he had a really good no, this is a few years back, had a really good playoff run, ended up going to the Lakers, didn't you know, didn't do anything, right? Like, yeah. Oh, yeah, it was him. That's exactly you're right. That's that's exactly who it is. So this, you know, this guy here, this whatever, however you pronounce his name from Minnesota, like may have just kind of that game might have been enough for a team to be like, you know.

unknown 44:00

What?

SPEAKER_02 44:00

We need him. There's potential there, right? Like if you're not going to be able to do it. You're not playing to win a ring. You're not playing to win a ring.

SPEAKER_04 44:07

You're playing to win money at this point because you know you're not. I mean, listen.

SPEAKER_02 44:11

Well, everybody's playing to win a ring, but I know what you mean. Yeah, but okay. His contract is not going to be based on I'm going to go to I'm going to go to a contender. I'm just going to go where the money is, right? Right. Well, do you blame him?

SPEAKER_04 44:21

Listen, you got to get your money when you can. You got to get your money. Because you don't know what's going to happen. Yeah. You don't, you know, is guaranteed money going to make sure.

SPEAKER_02 44:28

You don't want to get that money to hold up, right? Yeah. I mean, and we're talking like, you know, a lot of money. Some of these guys can kind of parlay these really good playoff runs into, right? So yeah.

SPEAKER_04 44:36

But you know, we're talking about, like you said, oh, we'll just talk about this briefly again. LeBron being tired. Didn't say he was tired, he said he's banged up. We're going to find out later because he's going to write a memoirs, right? Obviously. Why wouldn't you? Right? He'll do a he'll do a um well, he can't do a children's focus.

SPEAKER_02 44:52

He's gonna have to know, he's gonna have to do a a version of some documentary that's gonna be a little bit better than The Last Dance, just because that's gonna be something better than The Last Dance.

SPEAKER_04 45:03

Certainly gonna be a lot of documentaries about him. Yeah, yeah. Right. Yeah. But I mean He'll control the narrative, though. You know, I saw a picture. It's like him and Bronny. And Bronny's like two. Oh, when he was in Cleveland. Yeah, it's like that's fucking crazy. Yep. Right? The other day I was in the kitchen, I was cooking, because I can cook, bitch. And I was listening to the TV, and I'm like, that doesn't, it's weird. It sounds like the Bronny. Fucking Bronny! He's got a deep voice.

SPEAKER_02 45:28

Jesus Christ, it's you know, I'm like, okay. Gives the same thing.

SPEAKER_04 45:34

Dude, it's sound I told you his whole the way he passes, the way he shoots. Oh, by the way, speaking of shooting, uh, what is this name? Uh the white guy on the Lakers? Kennard. Kennard. Jesus, that guy's jump shot is so nice. It is so perfect, it's stupid, it doesn't even make sense. Yeah, it's so pretty to watch. Then you watch Draymond Green.

SPEAKER_02 45:52

No, I'll be honest with you. I I knew who he was. I've heard the name before. I didn't know he was this good. I found out he played for Duke. Uh well that way to get it. I wish he didn't play for Duke. Either way, the main thing. Sorry, I love Coach K, but as a as a Tara Heels fan, I just can't like Duke.

SPEAKER_04 46:06

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah. All right. I don't think we covered it all. I think so. All right. Yeah, we got a beautiful day out today. It's probably 10 or 12 degrees at least. Oh, yeah, it's supposed to get up to below 14 or 15. 14 or 15. We're getting there.

SPEAKER_02 46:18

Summer's around spring's around the corner. Spring's here, I guess, but summer's around the corner. Let's say it that way. Birds are singing. It's all good. Everything's starting to grow. Yeah. Flowers are coming up.
