presented by Bob Stores. Welcome to part of my take, presented by Seeky. Today is Monday, June
11th. Rick Riley. LeBron finally got his supporting cast. I actually, I literally had a supporting
cast joke written. Yeah, LeBron finally got it guys. That was so awesome. He got his cast.
That was so awesome. But here's, I think the big question that we have to ask now is,
how does LeBron's like terrible, terrible, very, very painful looking,
displaced compound fracture hand injury affect his free agency status? Because if I was a team,
he'd be back in time. I would, I would hesitate against paying a guy with an injury like that,
a super max contract. Yes. So the Warriors go back to back. Kevin Durant wins his second straight
NBA finals MVP. And somehow the story is LeBron who broke his hand. I'm doing quotes right now,
broke. I'm not only doing quotes, but I'm rolling my eyes, broke his hand in game one by punching
a whiteboard and then decided not to say anything until the, after the game was over,
in the 30 minutes before he went to his press conference, he had to put on a cast
just so everyone saw how broken his hand was. The guy who never gets hurt. My biggest surprise was
that Tyloo actually uses a whiteboard to just diagram plays. Well, I was going to say, Tyloo,
I thought he just like, in the locker room, he just rolled the ball out. Well, no, that's,
that actually was probably the biggest story that's not being talked about. Tyloo, the relief on
Tyloo's face when LeBron broke the whiteboard, he's like, thank God, I'm off the hook. I don't
have to pretend to write any plays for next game. It's like when your professor accidentally
crashes blackboard online, you're like, okay, don't have to turn the assignment in. So it was
kind of a set, it was a weird, like, I mean, it was a weird game for, because the Cavs just
essentially rolled over. They were, and I don't really blame them. They weren't going to come back.
Well, as first reported by us, they were just going to give up. They were going to give up.
The mood was, this is probably it for LeBron and Cleveland. And for a team to go back to back,
people have so much Warriors fatigue that it didn't even feel like they celebrated. We don't
even feel like they got off the plane. Swaggy P was basically the one who took like the biggest
celebration and just tweeted a bunch. It was him and the dude, the like ninth or tenth guy on the
Warriors that went and he put on, Quinn Cook put on a jersey, put on shorts, even though he's in
street clothes during the game. I don't hate that move. I would do the exact same thing. Are you
kidding me? The part of that move that was weird, so Quinn Cook was, yeah, he was in a suit all game
and with two minutes left, he went in the locker room and changed. The part of the move that's
crazy is that he put on the leggings. That's like, okay, man. Dude, you got to put the leggings on.
No, just throw on your shorts because you're going to put on a championship shirt in two
seconds. It would have been great if he put on a cast too. Yeah. He's like, I broke my hand.
We're all broken. I changed real fast in the locker room. Yes. We talk a lot about curses on
the show. I think it's fair to ask, given the showing in recent basketball tournaments by
teams named Cavaliers, is there a Cavs curse? UVA. That's true. That's true, but they didn't win a
title. Big losers. I'm just, I do, the Warriors are just, there's too fucking good. Yeah. It's just
kind of, it was the weird, it was like the most anti-chromatic end to an NBA season. Everyone,
I think is looking forward to the next month of NBA news compared to the finals because the
after game one, it was essentially over. That's why we were so disappointed because if JR Smith
puts that ball back up, we're talking about a six game series probably. And it's a little bit of
like recency bias too because the Western Conference finals were actually a really good series. Yeah,
but it's just like, it just, the thing that we saw most recently was the Cavaliers just
crapping into their own mouths and disappointing America. And now the conversation is, are the
Warriors bad for basketball? And as a fan of takes, I would say, yes, let's continue that
conversation for the next 11 months. But I would also say that that Western Conference finals was
more entertaining than we're giving it credit for. I disagree and solely just the fact that I think
the Warriors have that, that extra level that they, they like didn't, whenever they want to try,
I mean, you see it every third quarter that they played, they'd be down at 10 and a half. I'm like,
no, actually, we're going to try. The Warriors can play 15 minutes of good of Warriors basketball
and beat anyone in the world. And they just needed to like be pushed a little. And even if you saw
their body language going to that game, six and seven Western Conference rounds, they didn't care.
They're like, yeah, we're going to still win. We got this. The finals were very anticlimactic.
I watched like maybe 15 to 20 minutes of game four. That's how little of an interest I also,
I was very, very hungover and I was falling asleep for the first time in 40 hours at the time.
Can I call my shot real quick before we start talking about the caps? Yes. I think with Vince
Vaughn getting a DUI on Saturday night, Sunday morning, and LeBron having his cast and, you know,
having the excuse after the game. I'm interested where this is going. We're going to get a Trey
Wingo little wedding crashers. Oh, number 78 play like a champion. No excuses. Definitely going
to get one of those. So someone tweet us when he says, I think that's a little risk. I think
that's a little risque for Trey to be breaking out DUI jokes. Yeah, true. Yeah. Yeah. He's,
I think he's going to, he might make a swingers reference. You're so money, babe. And you don't
even know it. That's about the speed we're looking at. Hey, give us your quick thoughts on LeBron's
cast. It was, I mean, I was shocked. I thought I got over my hate for LeBron. And then in that
post game press conference, when he was like, hold, you could tell he was literally using it as a
crush to get out of the press conference. He, in the middle of press conference, he just like
started by giving off like 27 excuses. And then he held up his cast. I was like, everyone started
taking pictures and he was like, starts laughing. It's like, Oh, you guys like this cast, huh?
Yeah. So the craziest. No shit. I put it on. He's like, never water bottles with it accidentally.
The crazy microphone. Yeah. The craziest part about the cast is I think every single sports
fan that watched these NBA playoffs, even though the Warriors won it all will say these were LeBron's
playoffs. He asserted himself yet again as the best player in the world, unbelievable playoffs,
carried a team of bums to the NBA finals. And then to do the cast thing, it's like, dude,
we all, we all were like saying this was on an unbelievable, you know, two months by you,
you didn't need to do the cast. It's his answer to not need to do that. To the walking boot.
Do we need to do a voice for LeBron's cast? Yeah. Baby back bitch. Hey LeBron, why did you hit me
against a whiteboard? Hey LeBron, you're going to be able to do all your hand shakes with all
your teammates with your broken wrist. Hey LeBron, maybe we can go to Canada. They got free healthcare
up there. You can get all of the cast you want. It doesn't really feel the same. It's not the
walking boot. This season will always be, we tried. People will always remember this season for
James, James Harden's MVP and Kevin Durant winning back to back titles. I think it is LeBron being
unbelievable. Nobody cares about Kevin Durant winning back to back titles. Yeah. We have more
NBA finals talk coming up with Mark Titus who, by the way, Mark, every time we have Mark on and
every time I talk to him, he forces me into like the ultimate. I don't even hate LeBron anymore.
I've just kind of, I've said it a million times. He's so unbelievable to watch, but Mark brings
like the worst out of me. I'm like, all right, fine. Fuck it. I'm hating LeBron. He's like,
Mark Titus to you is like, if you see an old crush that maybe you used to date a long time ago,
and you had like crazy wild sex, but every other part of the relationship was really bad. Whoa.
Every time you see him, you're like, oh, fuck, I'm going to, by the end of the day,
I'm going to end up debating LeBron versus MJ against him. I don't want to. And all my friends are
like, Hey dude, just leave it alone. Don't talk to Mark. You said, remember, you said yesterday,
you weren't going to talk to Mark. And then we do it. And then you see him and then you fuck him.
Yeah. All right. So Stanley Cup, the, you were in Vegas. OV is on one of the greatest benders
of all time right now. The clips from Washington on Saturday, the fountain doing the breaststroke
in six inches of water doing the, the can stand. You can't do a keg stand. He was just raising it
over his head the entire game at the next game. Like no, people were not watching the baseball
game. They were just watching OV raise the cup overs. Jacob Varana got a tattoo and I don't
know if you noticed it was such a funny picture because he was so drunk. He was wearing a t-shirt.
Short sleeve t-shirt. Short sleeve t-shirt. And he got a tattoo on his wrist and he was holding
the short sleeve t-shirt. Like he was holding it up. Like look at my tattoo. He was pulling his
sleeve up even though it was down all the way by his hand. The Stanley Cup is the greatest
celebration. It was in all sports. And I think the Capitals are doing it better than you've seen
a team do it. It's like Cindy Crosby is not going to be like ripping bad dog out of the cup. OV
had, if you don't enjoy Alexander Vechkin winning a Stanley Cup and the celebration that ensues,
you don't have a pulse. As we said, I think on, on like Thursday or Tuesday, I wouldn't be surprised
that Washington Capitals won nine games next year. And I'm totally fine with that. I am 100%
fine with them absolutely crapping themselves because it was all worth it. Yes. Have we gotten
any of the, uh, the Capitals are actually showing their white privilege by being this drunk in public?
Oh, I haven't heard that, but I did see a take that said, um, let's not let Alexander Vechkin
winning the Stanley Cup erase the fact that he lost in the playoffs for a lot of years. True.
That actually, we need to remember that. Yes. So you, you got, you got your picture with the cup
in Vegas. I did. You got to drink out of the cup. I also got this tip from, uh, from some,
from sources on the ground. Okay. Keeping, keeping checks up on PFT. Best night ever,
you couldn't believe the pants PFT was wearing. Absolutely preposterous outfit. He kept getting
thrown out of the booth and then reappearing next to the cup five minutes later. It was actually
the most impressive thing I've ever seen in the club. All right. It's a little bit. I gotta know
about these pants. It's 50% fake news. The pants, that is 100% correct. Um, real quick, I want to
give a shout out to poker go. They actually hooked it up, um, with the room when I was out in Vegas.
They got a real sweet setup. They actually got us, uh, Phil Helmuth on the show last year,
and hopefully we'll get some, some poker guys out there for the world series of poker. But,
um, yes, the pants story is very true. Hand up on that. So what happened was, how ridiculous could
pants, how should the pants cost? Well, I'm about to tell you, they cost $95. Can I have my credit
card back by the way? Oh yeah, I'll give that back in just a second. I saw the pants street. I was
like, that's definitely a charger. Oh yeah. Well, so what happened was, and I'm going to,
I'm going to make it up right now. So this, it, the pants have become content. So it was worth the
$95. Yes. Um, I'm, I'm getting ready to go out to the club. We find out where the cup is going
to be and where the team's going to be partying afterwards. And we have, we have a line to get
in and, uh, you know, we, I'm wearing shorts at the time as one does because shorts are back.
It's a summertime. Um, and I'm like, Hey, should I go back to the hotel and put some pants on
before we go out? Cause I don't want to, I don't want this to be a thing where I'm holding up a
line at the door. Like everyone's like waiting for me because I can't get in the hotel after the
game. Yeah. Yeah. But then I went to a different hotel, but you didn't think to put the pants on
then. No, I didn't. Got it. Yeah. And they're like, dude, don't worry about it. You're going to get
in. Cause I was with, you know, some of the players at the time and they're like, it's fine. You'll
get in. Uh, I get up to the front of the security line and the guy's like, Hey man, I can't let the
shorts in. I was like, come on, dude, it's the cup. We just won the cup. We, I personally just
won the Stanley cup and he was like, I'm sorry. You can't, you can't get in. It was like maybe
midnight at this point. And I was like, well, fuck, is there like a pants store in this hotel
somewhere? I think I was like, no, there's no pants store. There's like a lobby gift shop
that you can go check out. So it turned around. I start like, I start running towards gift shop
because everybody else is getting in and I'm not. And I don't want it to be like a big delay in
me getting in because then I'll lose the whole group that I came with. So I turn around to run
towards the gift shop. And as I turn around the corner of Vetchkin is walking down the hall of
the hotel of the casino, just carrying the cup, just going, we are champions. We are champions.
And he's got like maybe 30 or 40 people next to him taking pictures. Guys are, are walking into
pillars and into slot machines, knocking themselves over because they're not watching where they're
going. So I'm like, fuck, fuck, fuck, I got to get in here. So I run down to the hotel gift
shop and I'm like, Hey, do you guys sell pants here? And the lady's like, we have one pair left.
I was like, I'll take it. She goes, you want to try them on? I'm not, I'm not in a position to be
like bargaining for pants right now. I can't be choosing what's acceptable and what's not. And
so she goes, she brings me this big ass pair of like Dr. Dre khakis. And there's the waste is like
their cargo should pants. No, they weren't cargoes. The waste was like a 39 or 40. And,
and she was like, are you sure you want these? And I was like, yep, I got to, they didn't have
belt. Well, you know what, I didn't, I didn't think to ask, but I was just like, you know what,
I'm just going to put them on and I'll do the thing where my finger goes through the belt loop
and I'm walking around like that, just playing it cool. So I put them on and I started walking
back towards the club, holding my pants up by the belt loop. And then the belt loop breaks
because there's these pants are too heavy that my finger just snaps the belt loop off.
And I'm like, dammit, okay, this is going to be tricky. So I'm just pulling my pants like every
two seconds, they're falling down everywhere. And I get in, I finally get escorted back to
the stage behind Chesto was playing. Yep. And, and I get back there and I just immediately
stand on a table and start drinking a bunch of beers. And I'm sure everybody that was there
just saw me drinking beers with my pants falling down every two seconds worth it. And after about
half hour, an hour of being there, a security guard comes up to me and he flashes his flashlight
in my face. I'm like, shit, am I getting kicked out of here? And because I mean, I've been kicked
out of much worse places. You already had the pants and Stanley Cup after party. Yeah. So it
wouldn't be a shocker to me if I was getting asked to leave. And he shines a flashlight in my face
and he says, come here. See that guy down there. And there's another security guard shining his
flashlight down. And he's like, go with that guy. I'm like, okay, this is it. I'm getting perv walked
out. I go down to him. He escorts me across the stage like directly behind Chesto. By the way,
Chesto is playing like his little mix of whatever Chesto does bangers. Yeah, bangers. And Ovi comes
up to him and stops him. And he's like, play. I don't want to lose your love tonight. Yeah. Just
so that Ovi could sing. Just as I'm the vicar so far away. And nobody's telling Ovi like what to do
at this point, right? Do whatever he wants the place. So I get escorted across the stage.
Another security guard comes gets me. And he takes me back to this booth that's on the other
side of the stage. And the cups right there. I'm like, okay, lock eyes of the cup. Yeah. Locked
eyes with a cup. It made it man. How many beers looks pretty good. The cup looks pretty good after
a few cold ones. And then the guys were like, Hey, you want to drink out of it? And I was like,
yeah, so turns out I just somebody spotted me with that was like around the cup and said, go get
that guy. I still don't know who. And I got down there. And it was filled with beer. I put it up
and I locked lips. I probably have every single strain of herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis.
Worth it. Yeah, worth it. Absolutely. That's an upper body injury. Yeah. Yeah. Because my mouth
upper body injury. Yes. And I drank out of it. Beer does taste better than Stanley Cup. Yep.
I can confirm that. And then afterwards I followed your advice. I didn't I didn't stand too close
to the cup. People took that my advice out of context because I obviously you need to drink
out of the cup. Yes. That's the first thing you do when you see the cup. You raise it,
you drink out of it, you touch it, you fondle it, you do everything you can. Then you do the,
I got to stay just far enough away that people aren't like this guy's going to steal the cup.
Exactly. And just close enough that you're like, Oh, he's part of the group. And I kind of stick
out a little bit too. I mean, I don't look like the pants. I had the pants on and I'm not an inconspicuous
guy. So if I knew my odds that if I stand too close to the cup for too long, yeah, somebody on
the team is going to be like, that guy's going to steal the cup. He's about to walk off with the cup.
Yeah. Take the cup. So I did follow your advice after that point. I stayed a respectful distance
away, but I still enjoyed the rest of the night. And I never, I'd never got kicked out of anywhere.
Maybe what he saw was the security guard, like taking me to the cup, but I will fully admit
that the pants I was wearing, scale one to 10. In terms of fashion, these were about a 1.5.
These were off, probably the worst pants that I've worn since I graduated from college.
Well, you did wear the jinkos last year. No, jinkos were sweet. If I had the jinkos,
I definitely would have worn those. But the jinkos cursed the caps.
But they, but if it wasn't for the jinkos, which I burned and urinated on, I took away the curse
from the jinkos and gave the the caps their cup. So the caps got there. What's the parade? Tuesday?
The parade's on Tuesday. Oh, he's still drunk. And I was thinking about going back to D.C. to
follow the cup around, because that seems like a lot of fun. And it absolutely would have been a
lot of fun on Saturday. But I would have just been trying to recreate Thursday night. And I don't
think it's going to get any better. No, you had your night. Yeah, I stayed. I didn't go to sleep
until probably like 10 o'clock on Friday night. During game four, the basketball game put me to
sleep finally. Ryan Whitney shout out. Ryan Whitney shout out. Yeah, exactly. So I was just like,
you know what, I'm just going to, I'm going to let that be. Yeah, you can't top that. Can't top
that. No, it was, it was incredible. So it was, it was a very, very, very fun time. Now OV is like,
I don't think OV is going to sober up. No, everyone's like, I feel bad for a veg against
hangover that is going to get. I don't think Russians get hungover. Yeah, they don't. It's
just part of the machine. Don't break part of their blood. Yeah. Hangover is a participation
trophy you get for stopping drinking. They, they're, you can see it in all their eyes too.
They've just been, I mean, that's, like I said, the Stanley Cup, the celebration is the best in
all sports because wherever the cup goes, the party goes from zero to 100 immediately. The cup
is the party. Yeah. So you don't, you can be the drunkest. You can be like, these guys can be
stumbling everywhere, but if the cup shows up, it's like, this party's amazing now. Yes. And if
you look at the picture of me drinking out of the cup, I think the funniest part is you can see
Dmitri Orlov like right over the cup looking at me like, who the fuck is this guy drink? Yeah,
let's get this guy down with who this drink up my cup. Yeah. Someone buy him a pair of pants.
Yeah. He was probably just staring at pants. Yeah. Shocker, I think zero ladies talk to me
at the after party was probably the pants. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the cup was in the building. That's
the other thing. Everyone talks to the cup. Yes. Everyone's looking at the cup, all eyes on the cup.
All right. Well, so Tuesday, we'll probably get some people eating poop and OV, you know,
doing something swearing. How many over under amount of swears for OV when he gets up to the
mic? We're, we're in luck because one, I think he's going to be so drunk that you won't be able
to tell if you're swearing. He was like, did he say fuck? Or did he say, is that a Russian word?
Is that a Russian word for like more cocaine please? Yeah. Yeah. So I don't think that we're
going to get too many hard F bombs. He might do what he did when they gave him the key to the city.
This was, this was pretty funny. This is like 10 years ago. They gave him the key to the city of
DC and he, his acceptance speech was no speed limit today in Washington DC. And he just thought
that he could make a law. Yeah. On his day. So he'll make a law on Tuesday. Yeah. OV.
Guess what? Make a law. Make any law you want. Um, that's, that's awesome. Uh, should we do
who's back? Who's back of the week? Let's do it. Yeah. Let's do it. P. F. T. Why don't you start?
Oh, oh, yeah. Okay. Interesting. Um, my first who's back of the week is Andrew Luck. Oh,
Andrew Luck is back. His coach, Frank Reich said, and I quote, he's getting real close to
throwing a football. So a regular sized football. We don't know. We don't know yet. He didn't
football shaped object. Yeah. He's getting close to throwing something oblong. Jesus Christ.
There's, he's, he's real close. I don't know if you heard the quote. He looks jacked. Yeah. He
does look like he actually put on a little weight and he finally got healthy again, but he did look
emaciated for a while. What if he, what if it's like, um, what if it's like rookie of the year
and he, and he throws a football for the first time and it's like, you know, he can throw 500
yards. That would be, that would be amazing. We have not seen him. We have not seen him throw
football for what seems like 10 years, but he's real close. So the Colts just in general back
this year. I think you got to pencil them in as, uh, favorites to come into second in that division
behind the Jaguars can almost throw again. Yes. Um, my other who's back the week is Tio.
Oh yeah. So Tio is back in the news. Uh, well, I'll just say Diva receivers are back. Uh,
Mio is back because he said that he wasn't going to be attending the Hall of Fame induction
ceremony. I still don't understand what's going on. Like he, is he sticking it to the writers?
I think he's mad that he wasn't already in, or maybe it's like a James Harrison situation where
he's like, you remember when James didn't go to the White House because he said,
I wouldn't have been invited if I didn't win. So I'm not going to go. Maybe Tio is like,
they wouldn't even invite me to the Hall of Fame if I wasn't inducted into the Hall of Fame. The,
he also said that he went to Canton and I think he probably was like, oh, okay, this place is
not that great. Maybe he saw Larry's party here. He saw Larry's grave and he was like,
this place is too sad. Yeah. I can't come back here. I want him to do his, uh, if, if Tio has,
still has the flair for the dramatic and he's do his acceptance speech while doing crunches in his
driveway. That would be nice. That would be amazing. Or have Drew Rosenhouse just get up there and
say, next question. Next question. Yeah. That sucks. Tio could have given a great Hall of Fame
speech. I think that he probably would have gone like Michael Jordan style with it. Yeah,
just all the people that have wronged him. Yes. His life. Hugh Douglas finally getting
your comeuppance buddy. Put Don Mcnav in the first row and be like, yeah, if you were a little
better, I would have had a Super Bowl. Uh, Hank, what do you got? Uh, my who's back of the week is
I'm just curious. Why did you think I didn't have any more? Who's okay? Do you have another one?
No, I don't. Hank, why don't you go? Lil Wayne is back. So as you guys know, he's a little easy.
No, Lil Wayne has been in court. Weezy, Lil Weezy, Lil Weezy, Weezy F Baby. I got it.
Weezy F, you know, he's been in Corpville last few years with his father, Birdman over
Birdman owing a bunch of money for his past records that he just didn't pay. Wait, Birdman is
Lil Wayne's dad. No cash money records. Yep. We didn't know that. Except Dream didn't come
true because Birdman basically just took all the money Lil Wayne made off his album. Who's juvenile
related to him? Didn't give it to him. I don't know. Got it. But Universal stepped in and basically
settled the beef, paid Lil Wayne $10 million. So now he's free. He's going to be able to put
out the card of fries. He's going to be able to put out all this music he's sitting on. So Lil
Wayne is back. Oh, so back. So, so, so back. Does this mean he's going to go on first take and
debate more sports? That was a wild couple of years where Lil Wayne would just show up every
couple of weeks. Die Hard Packers fan. Yeah. He'd have that Bass Pro Shops logo oversold
on him. He'd be arguing about Larry Bird or some shit like that. Yeah. I could hear Lil
Wayne's thoughts on all sports. If you're Lil Wayne, you kind of have a decision to make. Who
side do you take in the divorce? Do you go on first take and talk with Stephen A. Smith? Or do
you go out and debate Skip Bayless? Well, he's, I'm pretty sure the, the Skip Bayless theme song is
Lil Wayne. Oh, I thought that was Wale. No. So he's got to go skip. I think so. Skip. Skip. Skip.
Yeah. My other who's back is Markel Fultz. So I don't know if you guys saw this, but there was
videos last week of him in the gym, literally jumping and dunking. His head was like higher
than the rim. But can he shoot? It doesn't, you didn't hear him. He was dunking. Yeah. So
I didn't see those videos. Yeah. The sixes are going to have. But the dunking videos were,
were crazy. As many players possible that can't shoot a 16 footer. Was that going to work? Was
that video tweeted out by Eric Junior? No. Who's been fired? Yeah. And he also probably
is going to get divorced because he threw his wife under the bus. Threw his wife under the bus.
Hard. Hard. Real quick, cause we didn't talk about this on Friday show. I don't think
I still, it's so funny to me that he is pretending like he didn't know about these,
because if we understand the entire way it went down, the ringer called up the sixers and was
like, Hey, we found these two accounts that are connected to Colangelo. And then within 30 minutes,
all five went private. So he told his wife like, Hey, do you know anything about these
burner accounts? That's what happened. I think, I think he definitely knew that there were these
accounts out there that his wife was running. Right. I think, so he, so I think it was like a
whole disinformation. She was an active measure. Yeah. If you're running burner accounts, you
wouldn't tell your husband. No, but do you see what I'm saying? Like how, how did all five accounts
could get taken down if he was just blindsided by this news? He would have had to have told his
wife being like, Hey, someone just called me about burner couch. You know anything about that?
There's no way that was his first like inclination. But it's also against the law
to tell your wife that you're under investigation for something. Is that a call? Yeah. So bottom
line legal advice, everybody. That's why Adriana tried to marry Christopher before she got shot
by Sylvia. Exactly. When she got taken out to the woods. You see this fucking bullshit that
Sports Illustrated tweeted out. No, Sports Center, like, I mean, Sports Illustrated,
like an hour ago, a tweet on an article that said Tony Soprano was murdered 11 years ago this weekend.
Oh my God. How did they know? Jimmy Train is on my shit list.
How do they know? It's just black. Yeah. Nobody knows what happened. We don't know what the
ending is. The tweet said 11 years ago tonight, Tony Karm, AJ and Meadow went to dinner, but Tony
ended up getting shot and killed while eating. Why are you spoiling? What the fuck is that?
It just cut to black. I'm sorry to everyone who's listening right now who hasn't watched it. Hank
should not have done that. That was really fucked up. That was really fucked up. I don't like that.
Are you got any other who's back? What about Mount Rushmore season? Oh, yeah, that's right.
So technically Mount Rushmore season should have started today, but we did not anticipate
there being a sweep. Well, we didn't anticipate LeBron rolling over. Yeah. So if you want to
complain to somebody, direct all Mount Rushmore related complaints to LeBron James. So what we're
going to do is next Monday will be the official official start of Mount Rushmore season. We have
our Mount Rushmore of guests that we are unveiling and how we did it last year. We're going to do it
again. We'll have all of the Mount Rushmore guests on on Monday and Wednesday doing specific Mount
Rushmores for them. And that will be the start of Mount Rushmore season. All right. I got two
who's backs. The first is Mason Ramsey, the fucking Yodel kid. I don't know if you guys saw this clip,
but he is, he's really feeling himself and I've never been more intimidated. He was throwing
fucking pistols at everyone doing spins. He's like the biggest, he's never going away. He's who's back
permanently and I'm intimidated beyond belief. I still haven't seen the original Yodel video
and I'm, I remain committed to never watching that. You should actually, yeah, so you, you should
like go back in time. You should watch it backwards, like watch his clips now and then go all the way
back and see how ridiculous this whole thing and how disappointed I am and be like, wait, what,
that's why that kid's famous? Yeah. Has he done the Fortnite dance yet? I feel like that's next
up on his list. Yeah, he's definitely, he's definitely, I learned how to do the Fortnite
dance yesterday. Did you? Yeah. Nice. You want to see it? Sure. Bad radio? Yeah. Ready? Check it.
Wait, we've already done this. We already knew how to do it. No, I, I, I learned how to actually do
it, but we, no, we knew how to do it. We didn't do it. Yeah. We need, we did it in drink paint.
Listening on Spotify. To all you listeners out there, I know that was bad radio,
but it's probably for the best because it was so sexual. Yeah. But we did that. But we, we, are you
saying we didn't do it when we did it for drink paint? We kind of did. No, we did it. Fortnite
dances this one. Yeah. I don't think you did the Fortnite dance. We did something else. Which one
is the one Kevin Durant was doing, like as they were getting the trophy? Yeah. God.
So that was bad, bad radio. Cause you just stood up and did a dance. It wasn't the Fortnite
dance that we already knew how to do. The pop culture is so lame when people are taking their
dances from video games. Whoa, that's not lame. It's pretty lame. That's cool, man. That's really
cool. Um, all right. My other who's back is cab drivers. So I think I'm going to start being a
cab guy. So I had, I got in a cab on Saturday night. Yeah. Well, yeah. Do they still do stuff
with us? No. Okay. Yeah. Fuck Uber. So the, uh, I got in a cab from La Guardia when I flew back
from Chicago on Saturday night and the cab driver goes, uh, I sit down and he's like, Hey,
what kind of cheese do you eat? And I was like, uh, Cheddar, he's like, all right, I could tell
you're poisoning your body. I was like, what are you talking about? He's like, only cheese you
can ever eat is feta and goat. And then he went on for like 20 minutes, a cab driver, Billy football.
Dude, he was, I mean, he was, I think he had a Russian accent. He also like wasn't looking at the
road whatsoever. He was talking about cheese, but it made me realize I kind of miss that. Like,
you never know what you're going to get with a cab driver. Uber drivers. I feel like they all
just don't talk anymore. It's a business transaction. Yeah. And you're like, Hey,
take me to fucking Staten Island or else I'll shoot you. And they take you to jail. Right.
That's exactly a cab driver would never do that. Right. But in a cab drivers, like it's kind of,
you never know when you're going to get a cab driver who wants to talk to you about cheese and
what's poisoning. I thought he was fat shaming me, but I think he gives a speech to everyone
because it was very directed. Like soon as I sat down, your cheese is poisoning your body
unless it is goat cheese. So I agree with you. I love a good old fashioned cab driver interaction.
And you get a lot of good ones in Vegas. So the cab ride. Oh, you were in Vegas. We never heard.
The cab ride from the Vegas airport to the hotel is always one of the more entertaining parts of
the trip because usually it's usually the cab driver feeling out like, do you need escorts?
Right. Do you want to know where the hokers are? Yeah. Tell me if you want to meet the whores.
Yeah. Do you need the drugs? Yeah. They like feel it out a little bit. And I was playing it like
so straight laced. This guy was like, oh, okay. So you're out here on business side.
This guy's a loser. Yeah. He's probably here for some convention. Yeah. I got that. Yeah.
He's like, where's your lanyard? Yeah. All right. Let's do Mark Titus. So we got Mark Titus.

here he is. Mark Titus, Club Trillion. All right, we now welcome on our very good friend,
Mark Titus. He has a podcast. You can listen to his college basketball podcast, but I think
they're doing some during the summer. So check it out. It's a one shining podcast and he was
live in person for LeBron's quit on the Cavs game, game four, to take him to three and six
overall in the finals. Why don't you start there? Why don't you tell us what the vibe was in Cleveland
knowing that was probably LeBron's last home game as a Cavalier and he quit.
So first of all, props to me for stepping into the lion's den. I know what I'm coming into right
now. I've been texting you big caps like the last three days since the game ended saying,
I feel like I'm about to go to war with you guys. I know what I'm stepping into and a lesser man would
have dodged this conversation, but I'm not a lesser man. I'm here. I'm fighting for my Mount
Rushmore life. I'm here. LeBron, so where do you want to start? That he quit on the Cavs?
Why does he suck? Yeah, watch it Mark. I'm on your side. I'm a LeBron stand now. So I'm going to
try to defend you against Big Cat here a little bit, but start out and just tell us what it was
like watching him quit on you and be a quitter when you quit so bad and quit in game four.
In all seriousness, it was the weirdest vibe to be in the arena. I didn't realize and PFT,
you experienced this being there for the Capitals, but it was a very different experience when the
Capitals won in an opposing teams arena. When you see this on TV, you don't realize like you
kind of think yourself, man, that looks kind of weird, but to like be there in person in Cleveland,
watching like the Warriors celebrate, the Warriors were even celebrating. First of all,
I think that pissed everybody off more than anything was like they're high five and like
they just won their like fourth regular season game in a row. Like it wasn't that big of a deal.
You got all these, you got all these Cleveland fans and then they make the owner talk first.
That was like the funniest thing in the world to me. You got like all these blue-collar Cleveland
fans that don't want to leave because you know, like you got a dad hugging a son being like,
it's okay, LeBron might come back. He might come back out and make an announcement. Let's not leave
yet. And then Adam Silver's like, let me give the microphone to the billionaire Silicon Valley guy
who is now going to talk about how his team kicked your ass. All right, here we go.
Yeah.
And the guys up there gave it a speech and all these Cleveland fans are like,
I don't know the whole vibe was hilarious.
Yes. It was, I actually momentarily felt bad for Cleveland because it did, it just felt like
they kind of rolled over. Like the second half started and it was like, okay, maybe they'll
make a push and the Warriors did their like six quick points and was like, yep, that's it. And
we're just going to pack it in and end the night and LeBron now. Listen, this is what I don't
understand from LeBron people. When I say LeBron is three and six in the finals and Michael Jordan
is six and oh in the finals. I'm not, you are making, you were passing judgment. I'm just stating
facts. I just said a fact. Michael Jordan is six and oh in the finals. LeBron James three and six
in the finals. LeBron James has lost the same amount of finals that Michael Jordan has won.
These are just facts. Well, that's, I think, I think that's what has, this has become the Jordan
and LeBron thing has become. I actually liked it a bit. I love it. I'm not mad at all. I think
it's funny that you're actually laughing right now. Yeah. Yeah. People that love Jordan, it makes
it obvious that you're just into the memes and that sort of thing. And those are, those are the
people that side with LeBron. That's how I know like who is actually has a basketball mind. Oh,
oh, you're going to do that. Like LeBron. Yeah. If you like, if you think Jordan's better, that's
listen, you can like Jordan just tells me like where you're at intellectually on a basketball
level. You've probably never played the game if you like Jordan more. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly.
So you've never been in the locker. I get that. That's fine. So it doesn't, I guess what I'm saying
is it doesn't surprise me that big cat likes Jordan more. Yeah. All right. So, so here's the thing.
We don't have to go deep, deep into it, but we can, we can brush on it because we like it too,
but we also understand people are exhausted about it. My only problem is at this point
is that LeBron fans in order to elevate LeBron spend the majority of their time bashing Jordan.
This is how you know you're losing an argument though, is if your only argument against it is
you don't like how the fans. No, no, no, no. That's not my only argument against it. We can do a
million arguments. I'm saying, do you not, do you not agree Titus that that has started to happen
where like people are like, Oh, Jordan played against a bunch of bums and like they, they now
bashed Jordan to elevate LeBron. Let's just, let's just enjoy every, let's just enjoy LeBron.
Let's enjoy MJ. Let's enjoy Kobe's five. Let's just enjoy Tim Duncan. Yeah. Let's just enjoy it.
My question is what, what is your favorite term for LeBron fans or really it's true of
like anybody, but I keep Bronn sexual on Twitter a lot. I see the stands. You see like Dick Ryder.
I like Dick Ryder because that implies like a little bit of bouncing, a little bit of action.
I like Bronn bros. Yeah. Nick, Nick Wright like Bernie bros. Yeah. Nick Wright is a Bronn sexual.
He's, he's head of the Bronn sexual community. He's a Brontosaurus. All right. So, all right.
Let's do this. Tell me this, tell me this, Mark LeBron broke his hand in Game War broke his hand
shattered it. The guy who has basically played 15 seasons and never been injured has a freakish
ability to bounce back from a multitude of in game hits to his head, to his legs, to everything
where it looks like he's going to die. And then it's like, Oh shit, he's back. It happens almost
every game. It's unbelievable. So he broke his hand. This freak athlete who never does anything
where he hurts himself. He broke his hand. He played the next three games, never talked about
it because he didn't want to give the words an edge. And then in between, in between the game
ending and the 30 minutes before his press conference, his hand was so broken. Yes.
That he needed to put on a cast for his press conference to make sure that everyone saw how
broken his hand was thoughts. Yeah. Thoughts is he wants to hold his kids when he goes home.
Dap them up on the way out. Yeah. I saw that. He wants to do that. Have you considered that maybe
his, his broken hand, he can't turn the pages of the Godfather? That's a good point. Good point.
Can't toast with a nice dry red. Did you not think that that was a ridiculous moment though?
Be honest. Like I, the thing is, I actually, I actually do think LeBron is like, I've got,
I've softened my take on him a lot over the years and I, you can't corner me into being like a full
LeBron hater anymore. It's more just, I'll get into the weeds if we really want to get in the
weeds. But that moment was, it brought up like some old LeBron hate stuff because it was so
ridiculous. It was like WWE shit, like coming out in a neck brace and going on, getting wheeled
off into an ambulance after a match. You're not wrong. I'm not going to defend that part of it,
but I think from my perspective, like is every guy in the NBA, not this way, like people pretend
like LeBron flops and he winds and he's like the only guy in the league that does these things.
I think it's, it's the fact that he's so big and the fact that he's so dominant,
right? You almost say it's, it's unfair, but you expect more out of him. Right. And I,
I get that side of it. Like when you see a fucking freight train run over a penny on a railroad
track, the freight train doesn't stop and cry and have like a bunch of cameras pose. It keeps
going. You know, like LeBron is so physically dominant that you expect him a little bit unfairly
to play through a lot of these hits that, you know, knock other people out. Like when he got hit
in the face, when he got hit in the head, um, in the Eastern conference finals, that was a pretty
significant head injury, but everybody was like, Oh, he's fucking fake. He's milking it, but it's
just because he's so big. I can't think of a single instance in which Michael Jordan had
an ailment and milked the shit out of it on the bench. Well, when he got poisoned by Utah. Yeah.
Yeah. When he got poisoned. I think of a single instance when that happened where someone made
him, yeah. He's on death door, but yet he's still average. He's still scoring 45 points, but yeah.
A stupid, uh, uh, caterer at a hotel in Utah forced him to drink way too much liquor before a game.
And yeah, he got poisoned and Utah, you get poisoned by somebody serving you beer that has
less alcohol. Yeah. So I expected this to be five and a half percent. This is only two percent.
If LeBron got poisoned, we'd have like the FBI involved. And oh, oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Should
I also mention that, uh, Michael Jordan won that game? Michael Jordan did win the game. Uh, it's
funny you bring up the, the quitting though about LeBron because you like, I've never,
Jordan has this perception that he's never quit. He quit twice in the middle of his career.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Hold on. He was so good and so dominant that he was bored with
the NBA that he's like, why don't I master another sport, which he did. And then, okay. So, so, okay,
fine. He went to master another sport, baseball. Then when he decided to come back to the NBA,
big cat, tell me this, he could have come back to any team and he decides instead to chase rings and
go back to the bull. He went to a super team. That's a good point. He went, he went to the
super team. Why, why defend that? And also he comes back in the, right before the playoffs,
like trying, he lets all of his teammates carry the load all season and then he comes back right
for the playoffs. I don't understand that. That was a very LeBron moment when he came
back wearing the number 45 and he was like, you know, he tried to keep it all secret and it was
like, Oh, a big, a big reveal. But then he went to the NBA needed him. But then the Rockets were
boring champions. David Serm was like, please, please, Michael, come save the league again.
And then he went to go chase rings with perennial powerhouse, uh, Washington wizards.
Yes. Do you remember, do you remember when he came back wearing a 45 and then Nick Anderson
basically just got inside of his head? Cause he's a mental midget Jordan. Oh, oh, yeah.
Michael Jordan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Michael Jordan chokes in game one against the magic
and Nick Anderson rips him and then Nick Anderson, the press coverage is like, yeah,
he just doesn't look like the same. It looks like 45 Jordan's a step slow. So then in order,
Jordan has to go switch his number cause he's just soft and he let that get to him.
Do you remember that? I remember that too. That's interesting. By the way,
Jordan quit on his hairline too. Let's not forget that. Oh yeah. Because
LeBron, yeah. LeBron pretending that he still has hair is so noble. Yeah.
You know, the reason LeBron doesn't shave his head is because he's, he knows that he'd be
the copycat of Jordan. Like Michael Jordan actually invented shaved heads. Think about that.
Here's a better debate. I see here. Can I propose something for you guys and for all the LeBron,
Jordan, but if you felt exhausted with this, I gotta, I gotta, I got something I think you guys
are like, okay, how about a Scotty Pippin versus Kevin Durant debate on who is the best sidekick
of all time? I like that. I like what you did there. I like what you did there. I, uh, Kevin
Durant, like is, it's so funny watching him reach, you know, two final Mbps back to back
championships and no one will ever love him like he could have been loved because of that move.
Like even Warriors fans are like, eh, he kind of, he kind of hogs the ball too much. Like
Steph and Clay should get more shots. Well, you saw like, you saw the, when he went to the title
versus like Ovechkin went in the Stanley cup. I mean, it's so perfect that they won back to back
nights and you got to just see the juxtaposition of like Ovechkin as a guy who has spent his entire,
I don't really follow hockey that closely, but I can tell that this is a man who has choked many
times and everybody talks about how he choked and then he wins. He didn't choke. And then he didn't
choke. He ran into hot goalies repeatedly. And, but that, but that's like a moment that Durant
can never, ever have no matter what he does. I mean, never. And it, yeah, I don't know. I mean,
like, listen, he has, he can do whatever he wants. He can join whatever team he wants. It's all fine.
People defend him. That's cool. But you can't deny that like when the Warriors won again,
they were like high fiving each other. Like they just won their third straight game.
Right. It was great. They were very anticlimactic. Let me do a little quick thought experiment
with you, Mark. Help me out here. If Kevin Durant and LeBron James had switched teams
for the postseason, what does that result look like? I think the Warriors win the title and
sweep in the finals. Okay. Here's another one. Here's another thought experiment that I actually,
because like I said, I've softened my take on LeBron a lot through the years and I know that he
had no one. I mean, Kevin Love and then it was basically no one. I actually would say that if
LeBron could even take Draymond Green from the Warriors, the Cavs would win.
Thoughts. That's a good one. Yeah. That's really like the line right there.
The Draymond line. Because I do, well, I mean, if you said Steph goes to the Cavs or Clay goes to
the top, I think it's obvious. But Draymond, I think what he does for the Warriors, and if you had
a guy like that on the Cavs, I think they would have had enough to beat the Warriors. I mean,
on this specific team, I think it could have helped to have somebody that could make shots.
Although Draymond came. Draymond Green is not the answer for that one.
True. Draymond probably would have killed JR Smith. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, good, good, good
thought starter there. What did you think about the extended clip where LeBron sulked and didn't
tell anyone like, Hey, we still could win this game and gave JR Smith the silent treatment while
the game was still going on. Also asked Tyloo if they had a timeout, even though LeBron knows
they had a timeout because he has a photographic memory, only for the Tyloo to be like, Yeah,
we did just so LeBron could sulk and sigh in his face too. I must have missed that one.
I didn't see. I don't know what you're talking about. That was a bad moment. You got to admit
that was a bad moment. Jordan would definitely never have done that. No, he would have punched
Steve Kerr in the preseason when you have time to still build the team back up. I'm going to do
another thought experiment real quick here. Let's flash back to what year? Was it 2015? Was that the
first series? Yes. Okay. So when Kyrie Irving, when he broke his kneecap. Yeah. If he doesn't
break his kneecap, do the Warriors win fewer than two titles over the next three years or four years?
That's a great question. I say yes, because that really, that changed the Warriors. That instant,
like the way that Kerr responded to that with his lineups, that changed the entire formation of that
team. They also didn't have Kevin Love in that series. People forget that he got his shoulder
busted off. That was the deli game that came right after. Yeah. Isn't it crazy how the Warriors
are the luckiest team that's ever been assembled? And yet, at a certain point,
when you've done it for four years, it can't always be luck. But then you look at every isolated
incident, you're like, this is the luckiest shit ever that Chris Paul is out for game seven.
JR Smith dribbles out to the three point. All this shit keeps happening. Hold on. But is that
luck? Because what you just described, one JR Smith, like, oh my God, JR Smith spaced out in a huge
moment and didn't know the score. That, that doesn't seem like luck. That seems like preparation
and being a discipline player. And then Chris Paul, Chris Paul getting injured in the playoffs,
you, are we going to say that's luck? Or are we going to say that's just your annual, like, hey,
you got to pay your taxes. And also Chris Paul is about to get injured in the playoffs.
I'm saying, listen, I'm not saying the Warriors aren't good. They're the best team. I'm like,
at a certain point, if you, I think if you take every isolated incident to me, it would be like,
if I, if you were watching the game as a Warriors fan and JR Smith dribbles out the clock,
you wouldn't be like, Oh shit, we just got very lucky with that.
Yeah. No, I just think there's also, yeah, there's just a level of preparation that the, you know,
the calves, the calves, the calves had a ton of warts all year. And then you basically get to
the finals where they have to be perfect. And all their warts come up like, I think it was game three
when I don't think I've ever seen a team slip screens and get more open layups and dunks than
the Warriors did because the calves just don't play defense. They don't know how to switch. They
don't know like what they're doing, which was the case all year. And you play a team like the
Warriors and then the case becomes magnified. I don't know if you've connected these dots,
by the way. I know you guys are Imagine Dragons fans. Yes. So I know, I know you're on the Imagine
Dragons performs game two, I believe in the Stanley Cup and then Vegas and everyone's again.
Yep. There's a curse. Are you aware, are you aware that the Cleveland Cavaliers motto for
the playoffs this year was whatever it takes based on the, all based on an Imagine Dragons song?
I'm very aware of that. Sure, sure are. Sure are. All right. Let's talk a little NBA draft.
Who's moving up the big board? And can you also tell us what is the NBA draft? Yeah, what? Yeah,
or that? Here's, here's, here's a, here's a radical idea. So the NBA is now in the age of free
agency where obviously guys just jump around. We're talking about it with LeBron, Kevin Durant
did it. It's super teams, people do whatever they want. Are we sure we need an NBA draft?
Okay, go on, go on. Yeah, go ahead. Why not let the, why not let the guys just
become free age? Like they just graduate college and now they're free agents out of the gate. And
it's like just people just try to sign college players just because it's going to happen anyway.
I mean, like, you know, like these guys are, someone's going to go to Memphis if, if Marvin
Bagley goes to Memphis with the fourth pick and Marvin Bagley is in five years, like one of the
best players in, in the NBA, he's blossoming to just like a perennial all-star unbelievable player
or whatever, whatever is like, he'll probably sign a contract after his rookie contract.
But then do you think Marvin Bagley is going to spend like 15 years playing for the Memphis
Grizzlies? That's not going to happen. Although the Supermax rules now, I think that does change
it a little. Are you going to super max a guy right out of college though? Like how would,
how would the Utah Jazz ever getting young players?
They, at a certain point, like all the other teams, I don't know, they're going to
have, they're like, not every team can sign every best player, right?
Right. And also, if you, if you sign like, you know, if you go back in drafts and you sign
Darko or Michael Beasley to a max contract, it will cripple your franchise. And then you have to,
you don't have the money to do it again the next year.
Yeah, exactly. Wait, is that, is that, is that, are you agreeing with my idea?
I think that is, I don't like, you still have to, you still have to like abolishing the draft,
doesn't sound very patriotic. Here's my draft idea. I want, I want to hear what you have to
think about this, that you can, every single person in the draft can go back to college
if they want, depending on where they get drafted and by who they get drafted.
I love that idea. I actually had the idea, I pitched this on our pod. Why, why do college
players run out of eligibility at all? If, if, if any college player is enrolled in college,
he should be able to play for like, if, if you graduate from your undergrad and you go get a
master's and then you go to medical school, like aircraft should be able to play. What I'm,
what I'm getting at is aircraft should be able to play nine years.
Periella should still be starting for Kansas. No. So, so, so here's how you do it,
because I've had this idea for a while now. Every team in college, football and basketball
gets a one time, one player exception on their roster, unlimited eligibility. So you basically
get, you get the guys like Carl Krauser would still be playing for Pitt and, you know,
Aaron Kraft would still be playing. Like you can basically just keep these guys who are not good
enough to be NBA players and they don't want to go play overseas and you're like, yeah,
that guy's just going to play on, you know, Ohio State for the next 15 years. I love it.
Do they get paid? Yeah, they get paid. They get paid. So you get paid after, after their eligibility
runs out, they get to pay it. It's one, one spot for every team and it's basically, and then what
you can do is that when your career, when guys' careers end, so like Tim Duncan, he could basically
go back to Wake Forest after his career. Now, could LeBron James go back? Could he go back and
just select a college? Yeah, he could go to Duke because he was going to go to Duke. Even though
Ohio State fans think he's going to go to Ohio State and he stands on the sidelines like, I love
Ohio State. I would have picked Ohio State. Shut the fuck up, LeBron. You would have gone to Duke.
He would, but that's okay. That's the beauty of being LeBron is that you can do that.
Yeah. You think we're going to stop claiming him? I mean, like he, you know, like, well,
he wants to talk about how he would have gone to Ohio State. We'll accept it. That's, you know,
there doesn't need to be any more than that. Oh man. So what, seriously, who is like, who's your
guy that you're circling? Because I can't make, I can't figure out this draft. I go back and forth
by thinking it's like 10 deep. And then I'm like, no, actually there's three guys. And once, once
you get to pick four, you're fucked. Listen, the nerds love Dodgers and it almost is offensive to
me, just how they talk about Dodgers. There's like a, there's like a slant against college basketball
and how people talk about Dodgers. And I'm not going to pretend like I've watched the guy, but
my problem is the beef I have is that everyone else is pretending like they've watched the guy.
And they, they love him when they, they know nothing about him. They're like, he's 19 and he
won the Euro League MVP. And you're like, Oh damn, that is impressive. And then you go look at like,
who's actually won your league MVP's and what it takes to win a Euro League MVP. And you're like,
holy shit, that is a garbage league. These are not great. These are not great players.
So like, I'm sure the dude's good, but I don't, I'm not really buying into that hype because
everything I've seen from him, they're like his, his, his downside is he can't really move his feet
that well. You see like a little pudgy. There you go. I don't know. So he might be good. I'm
not really buying into that. For me, it's like, I don't really overthink this stuff. I, I watch a
ton of college basketball. I see two guys in Deandre and Marvin Bagley, who just were men amongst
boys, absolutely dominated everybody. Every single time they took the floor, I think those are the
two best players in the draft. I don't really need to project like how they're going to fit into a
modern system and how all this other kind of stuff. I know that they're both like seven feet tall,
eight and a little taller than that. They both jump over everybody. They both are just athletic
freaks that have a feel for the game and can shoot a little bit. And it's like, that's good
enough for me. So I like those two guys. What about what about eight and his last game? Yeah,
Buffalo didn't dominate that. He played pretty well, didn't he? Well,
he didn't get the ball at the end if I remember right. Yeah. That's a whole other thing.
I'm sorry. He blamed his teammates. It's just an eight played in was, was not. Yeah, I don't,
I mean, yeah, I don't know. The Arizona, the Arizona plays like it's 1993 and they, you know,
they, they are not exactly a modern offense. We'll put it that way. So I don't necessarily blame it,
but anyway, who's going to be a better point guard when we look back in, let's say seven years
from now, Trey Young or Colin Sexton? Uh, it hurts me to say it, but probably Colin Sexton.
Just because I don't, Colin Sexton, like that dude, I don't know. I'm going to sound like I'm
really old, but like he, he has that like drive and that the intangibles and all that kind of
stuff that people go nuts for like analytics, like the Jordan sexuals go nuts for. Yeah.
Cause the analytics are off the charts. The analytics, his analytics are off the charts.
He would be, you know, game winning shots. He'll wave everybody off. And there was one game when
he's playing at home. He was talking, he was like sizing up, getting ready to go ISO for the game
winner. I forget they're playing some shitty school, but the guy guard them, you could see
Sexton talking shit to the guy guarding him as he was about to hit the game winner on him.
And stuff like that. I love, I think like even if Sexton sucks and he's not as talented as Trey
Young, I think like he's going to find a way to still be successful. Like he seems like the
kind of guy that failure is not an option and all that kind of stuff. I really like Trey Young.
I hope it works out. He's a lot of fun to watch this year. Well, the red flag on Trey Young is
one, he's thinking about being a Puma spokesperson and two, by everything I've read, the Bullsfront
offices in love with him. So that's like maybe the two biggest flags you could ever have.
Yeah. That's not good. Yeah. That's not good. The other thing, like everyone thinks Trey Young
is going to be Steph Curry again. And the, the margin of error, like I don't think you understand
how hard it is to be Steph Curry, which is why no one has ever been Steph Curry until now,
that this idea that like you just take a guy who can shoot threes from anywhere on the court. And
it's like that guy is the next Steph Curry. It doesn't exactly work that way. Well, I say that
Steph Curry is better as not just a shooter. He can do some other things really, really well.
Okay. But counterpoint. He might be Steph Curry because Trey Young by most likely will never
win a finals MVP. Think about it that way. Okay. That's a good point. All of us are actually Steph
Curry. Everyone who's never won a finals MVP is Steph Curry. I don't know how to use a mouthpiece
correctly. I grow shitty facial hair. They're all Steph Curry. We are all Steph Curry. Who's
another guy though, like a guy who may be going five to 15 that you're like, that guy is going to
be someone we're talking about. Basically just tell us who the next Donovan Mitchell is so that
we can sound smart. We're going to actually cut this and we're going to steal your take.
Should I do like I did for when I came on for you guys before the tournament where I said like
12 different teams are going to win the title. Yeah. Yeah. I guess Mikhail Bridges from Villanova
makes a lot of sense. I guess he fits that criteria like he's NBA ready. If that if you're
into that sort of thing like because the draft at this point as we know is like just you draft guys
on potential and hope that five years from now they'll be good and pan out. I would say Mikhail
Bridges is the best that could probably step in and he's not going to be like as good as Jason
Tatum or Donovan Mitchell probably but I don't know he can give you something like right away
and you can like see it right away hopefully. Again like I hate talking about the draft because I
don't actually know what the hell is going to happen with these guys but he seems like a guy
that as you're watching him play like that guy could jump on him and be a court right this second
and not miss a beat and he's probably going to get drafted like 10th or so. So is that a good
answer? Yeah we'll take it. We'll cut that up and make it sound like a fool though. I want to jump
back real quick to Kevin Durant and the Warriors. What's Kevin Durant going to do?
What do you mean? What's he going to do? I think he has an opt out doesn't he? Yeah I think he has
an opt out. I think he's going to stay with Golden State. Maybe he'll opt out and re-sign
with Golden State so he can sign with the champs. Oh yeah that'd be great. Very Kevin Durant.
And when I mean it is kind of sad though like it doesn't suck to know that like I don't know. I
hate to be like that college basketball fan of bitches about the NBA but they really are just
going to win it again and probably they're going to win like the next three. College basketball
is a much better product but you said it earlier the luck I think eventually someone's you know
one of these Steph injuries is going to catch up to them. You know one of these there's just
something's going to happen. Draymond is going to you know get suspended for a whole season for
kicking everyone's balls. Like something's going to happen that will break them up. I mean Iguodala
is very much on the tail tail end of his career so like something like that you could even see when
he wasn't in the lineup against the Rockets they were a different team. Yeah I like it. I like a
big head. You're drinking the NBA media Kool-Aid. Yep I got it. That's what NBA media that's what
they're here for is like they have to pretend like it's not obvious that whatever team LeBron goes to
is going to play the Warriors in the finals next year so we're going to do it again. Here I'm going
to predict January headlines next year already. Whatever team LeBron's on is this the end of
LeBron run. Their defense looks a little shaky. Are these pieces fitting right and then also
is Kansas going to also win the big 12 this year. That's going to be another headline in January.
Every single January. Well it's going to happen again. Yeah the defense one is fair because
LeBron just doesn't play defense. Also is this Houston's year to unseat Golden State. We're going
to talk about that again. More did his spreadsheets spreadsheets finally work.
Is Golden State good for one's basketball. That's a question I have at this point.
All right do you have any questions for us. We'll wrap it up. Actually you know what we'll flip it.
Seek a question for us. So put in promo code take you get $10 off your Seek a question. Why don't
you ask us to Seek a question. Seek a question for you is is Ryan Restillo jumping over me
on the pursuit of the Mount Rushmore. Here's what Ryan has done for him. You ready for this.
He's got a net. He shares a name with another recurring guest who might be who might be on
the Mount Rushmore. But and so they're there might also be two names that also share the
first name that might be on the Mount Rushmore. So we might we let's let's just say this.
We're not announcing the Mount Rushmore officially till Monday but we are going to maybe take some
liberties with how we set it up and it might be just a couple more than four. All I'm saying is
there's only room on our Mount Rushmore for one guy that was a writer and moved out to LA
to sell out who finally committed to moving to LA who finally took a leap
of faith and was like I'm going to take the world by the balls.
I don't want to be on Mount Rushmore. It's better on brand for me to be on the bench.
That's always been my brand with that. Yeah. I don't I don't like this idea of
Restillo who like I know I can talk shit about him right now because I know he doesn't listen
to your show. Yeah. He's too much of an ego maniac. So there were two guys. It was me and there was
another man who will not be named who had the corner lockdown of I dabble in the Bill Simmons
world but I also dabble in the Barstow world and like anytime the two worlds would just even
briefly interact with each other you know like one of us would get credit. One of those guys
has since died rest in peace. We won't mention his name. So I'm looking at this. Oh yeah. I was
like I was like fuck. So I'm looking at this thinking like this is great for me. I'm going to
get all the credit like if there's any sort of anything going on there I'm going to be the guy
that everyone gets credit for and then I see at one point like like Simmons favorites a big cat
tweet or something and I see people in there like oh yeah Restillo probably got those guys talking
to each other. Restillo is probably like Minden those fences and shit and that's my that's my
beef with Restillo. He's a Johnny come lately to this thing. I was I was with you guys from day
one from day like seven maybe and yeah he just comes swinging in to have him on you had him on
right after grid week by the way. I hope you're aware of this. You had the guy who moved to LA to
become a screenwriter on after grid week. Are you sure it's like it's to keep us a little bit humble.
So we're on grid week. We're so gritty that we start to get like overconfident in our grid.
So we have to have somebody on there that's a little like Fru Fru Hollywood yoga type. Dude
if you've seen the traffic in LA we're still only talks about it every single podcast.
It's great. Let me ask you this mark. How much you bench. That's a good point. That's a great
point. He does bench more than me. We should play what we should have you and Restillo play one
on one. I bench I bench more than Kevin Durant. I can do 185. Yeah. People forget that. Actually
we need to start talking about that more than Kevin Durant. Yeah a couple MVPs whatever I can
still bench press more than him. So you tell me who the real champion is. So do you think do you
think Kevin Durant they give him the finals MVP every year because that's a trophy he can lift
and they let Steph lift the trophy. Yeah. Yeah. Kevin Durant could not lift the Stanley cup over
he gets his little baby trophy. Oh man. By the way I don't know if you saw it I lifted the Stanley
cup up it's pretty heavy. I did. Congratulations. You got help. No it was me. You got it over your
head. No I lift it was actually harder the way that I did it because I just had to tip it back
to drink it squat. You bend your knees. No I did. I'd lift it from the back which was dangerous.
Just my upper body. It's dangerous dude. I've been telling these guys for the last like couple
months I've only been doing like glamour muscles and just for no real reason just to so I can like
look that I'm like that I'm a little bit in shape but it actually paid off because those are the
only muscles I needed to lift the cup to a mouth. Everything happens for a reason. I trust you're
going to tell the story on the rest of the show but I really need to hear how you were chugging
beer out of the Stanley cup at some point. I'll tell it. I'll tell it. All right. You have to
listen though so subscribe. I know you don't listen. All right. Well Mark thank you very much
for joining us. Check your mic. Stay like looking at your you know mail all week because you will
have the invite whether you make it or not on the Mount Rushmore. We're sending those out.
Are you saying the invite is right there with my recurring guest teacher.
They'll be. Yes. You're probably going to be together. You know we should do.
We should give everybody that we're inviting on to Mount Rushmore a plus one
and then base whether or not they get on to the Mount Rushmore on how cool their plus one is.
Who would be your plus one. That's a great question. You put me on the spot.
I don't really have a good answer for that. Greg Odin there you go.
You kind of owe him. OK. So that works. That helps your case. That helps your case.
He got drafted before KD. That is true. Yeah. OK. I like it. I like it. We'll consider you.
Yeah. It's true. By the way one last complaint. Yeah. Like people bitching about how Ode was
taken above KD and that Portland should have taken KD. If they take KD they then they don't
win any titles and then he leaves and like how was KD's situation in Portland any different
than what it was in OKC. It wasn't. He would he would he still want to win any titles.
He would have left. That's my two cents on that. Why didn't LeBron James just shoot foul shots
with the other hand like Greg Odin did. Another great question. A lot of questions.
Yeah. Do you think do you think that you you're a curse on players because it seems like you're
around a lot of players that keep getting hand injuries.
Interesting. I was almost going to say something and I won't. Yeah. Go ahead and say it. Yeah.
Don't incriminate yourself. Say it. Curse boy. Yeah. A little curse. Yeah. Curse problem.
You addicted to curse. A sharp curse. It's been great. Good. Thank you for having me back on.
I don't know. I look forward to what the Mount Rushmore decision. All right. OK. All right.
All right. LeBron's a goat. Not.

segments. First up we have a problematic for America's favorite Twitter person slash supermodel
Chrissy Teigen. Person in general. Yeah person would be a real shame if she and John Legend
sometime got a divorce. Wouldn't want to see it. Would kill love forever for me personally. If those
two can't make it then there's literally no hope for anybody else. I sure hope that they say.
Not rooting for it at all. Insert Chrissy Teigen gift face from award show here.
Alright so Chrissy Teigen got into it with Ryan Miller in the hockey community because she said
that she yeah very if you if you bet this was going to happen you won. So she said that she
feels like she could be absolutely be a hockey goalie and then went on to say all you gotta do
is lay on your side and put on big pads and you're good. True. Ryan Miller then came back
over the top and said I feel like I can absolutely be a supermodel. I ran some numbers and if you
lay on your side in an exotic location you look hot. The rest is up to the photographer. So
Chrissy Teigen versus the hockey community is definitely that's a wild one. Well my favorite
part about this is it's like two people with the most maniacal weirdo fan bases. It's just like
please like my sport hockey people and then Chrissy Teigen fans online and so both sides are
just like I think I said on Thursday they're both fucking the opposite side of the same car
and they're too dumb to realize that the other side is also joking too because they both take
themselves so seriously. Right. And so I think Chrissy and Ryan were joking going back and forth
but the people. No Ryan Miller was not joking. I think he was. I don't know. I think he was
and but it was just so funny watching them both accuse the other side of being problematic.
Yeah. And then Chrissy Teigen got like the whole hockey people in my mentions. I can't
believe this. Like OK well you made the original joke and so you got to deal with you know that's
the best part is no one everyone was joking but no one said anything funny. Right. So we're all
just like OK are they are they got it now. I think they're the real problematic though is that
Chrissy Teigen she has so much privilege that she can spend her time only thinking about sports
and not politics and sports. Yeah that's I mean. Hey Chrissy there are people out there that are
actually being impacted by a lot of stuff going on the world right. Right. Especially like natural
disasters and things like that. And you're sitting here and you're tweeting about sports. Maybe use
your platform for something good. Yeah thanks Chrissy. Yeah. Like maybe liking a lot of tweets
from maybe some bloggers at Barstool Sports like me and that would get John Legend really really
jealous. Don't make sure you use a platform for something good like that. Interesting. Yeah.
Could be. Let's go through her likes. Who's she following. Yeah. Let's figure that out.
Splitting Chrissy Teigen up from John Legend would be my life. It's we move on from from
trying to split up dude. Perfect. To now we're big bigger and better things.
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. I heard. I mean I heard that there was trouble. So I mean a lot
of people are saying like they don't spend as much time together as they used to. Yeah.
She's like she's you know what she does a lot. She makes a lot of those jokey little tweets
about oh John's not here. But she's interesting. I don't think she's really joking sometimes. Yeah.
She's cooking. She's cooking. She Instagrams all her meals. Maybe John doesn't like all of them.
Yeah. She's maybe John's not cool with you know crust crust based tilapia for the 17th
time in a row this month. Do you think that John's upset that Chrissy Teigen got a sponsorship deal
with Blue Apron. A great great company. And he's not even mentioned once. Interesting.
Any press materials. Who's the real breadwinner. Interesting. All right. We have a let's see stick
to sports for David A. Clark Sheriff Clark. He said Donald Trump should invite justify to the
White House lawn for winning the Triple Crown. Justify is a winner like Trump who could care
less about leftist identity politics. I'm actually gonna agree with him. Yeah. I don't think this
horse care. I don't think this horse voted for Hillary one and two. I don't think he cares about
politics. No. But horses only turn left. True. So he goes left a lot. True. Also if you historically
it's never gone wrong to invite a giant horse to a nation's capital. Mm hmm. For something. Yeah.
No. Never. Never. Never ever. Bring that horse inside of it. Nope. No. Got it open. I do agree
that justify from all I've seen right now. Hank you was talking about the Trojan horse.
He gave me that look. I do. I do think from everything I've seen from justify undefeated
Triple Crown winner which kind of sucks because American Feral was three years ago so it feels
there's a Triple Crown fatigue. Mm hmm. But from everything I've seen from justify he is definitely
like 20 times the horse at Nyquist's because Nyquist is a triggered snowflake that goes off
Twitter. Mm hmm. I bet you I bet you Nyquist is into leftist identity politics. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Couldn't even handle a couple pictures of a severed horse said in the bed from Godfather being
a couple glue couple glue jokes and he just runs away cyberbullying. Yeah. Gallops away off to his
little his little shed. You pussy has bitch Nyquist. Nyquist you fucking trigger the horse. We don't
forget. No we don't. You know what they should just invite Gronkowski the horse or just invite Rob
Gronkowski to the White House. Did you see the Gronk bet $69 on Gronkowski the horse to win place
so he won because he placed and it was also six nine and that just tells you that Gronk is anyone
who thought Gronk wasn't back. It's like come on. He is he's doing it up. I'll bet you that you could
get Gronk to show up anywhere by just telling him that it was a party. Yeah. So if if Donald Trump
was like hey do you want to come to my party at the White House. Gronk would be like yeah yeah
absolutely. Roger Goodell could be like hey I'm having a party in the league office building
where we're going to sit around and talk about all the legal stuff that Bill Belichick makes his
players do. Rob will be like fuck yeah. Are there shots. Yeah shots. I'll bring a cooler.
We have a bad visual for Odell Beckham's jump shot. So if you didn't see this clip
you go look look it up. We'll also put it we'll put it in some of the clips we put out. It is
the worst jump shot I've ever seen. Can I say something that you're going to be upset about.
It looks a little bit like my jump shot. It looks a lot like your jump shot.
That's what I saw exactly what I thought when I saw. I was like Jesus crazy learn how to shoot
from PFT. Well you know why like so elite athletes like me and Odell Beckham we know that you have
to elevate the ball and get it up above your head. Yeah. Because you know I get a lot of shots
blocked if I shoot from down. You get your privilege in your big. Yes. You don't have to
experience what I go through. Yeah. It looks it looks quite a bit like my form. It also
helps my longstanding theory that there is no one in the world who can beat me in every single sport.
I'm talking every single sport like darts. American skiing. What about Justify. Justify can't
beat me in basketball. Are you sure about that. Yeah. I'm definitely way better than you. There's
no way you can score though. You just cross him up. Do you see how small those ankles are.
I cross it. I don't think you could cross up Justify. I also hand down main down the
but I think that the seeing Odell Beckham shoot like this like gives me hope like OK.
Why can't I shoot better than NFL superstar. But you forget that Odell Beckham is also like
a world class soccer player and if Odell Beckham had been playing soccer this whole time then maybe
the U.S. men's national team would be in the World Cup. Well you're wrong because the U.S. national
team is actually in the World Cup of friendlies and we'll go to talking soccer. They had a big
tie with France. Julian Green big time goal big time players make big time plays and big time
games like a friendly two weeks before the World Cup. Yeah. A tune up for one time and the other
times team is just there. Yeah. But yeah that was talking soccer. We're back. That was talking
soccer. So America needed a French person to beat or America needed a German guy to beat the French.
Yes. Is what this came down to. It also is just so funny watching U.S. men's soccer team fans
just watch these games and be like oh we could have made it. We could have made it with this team.
We would have probably finished third in the group of death. I believe I believe that I believe
that we would have had a strong showing in the World Cup had we qualified for it not lost to Trinidad
and Tobago based on the results of this friendly. That's it. Right there. That chance going to get
on. It is going to catch on. I do love how our best player. Well he's one of our best players but
he's he's German. Yeah. He's not American. Julian Green. Yeah. He played well. I don't know if he
is our best player because everyone's like he kind of sucks. He was born in he was born in America
but he played on American. No. He played on the German national team. Oh he did. Yeah. I don't
trust any of our soccer facts by the way. This is like reverse operation paperclip. Yeah. We don't
know anything about where he played but he there's no way he was good enough to play on that. There's
no that's not I think what happened was citizenship. Yeah. So I think what happened was he played on
