4:29

to the Rice Ricky Sanchez Podcast. I'm Spike

4:31

Estrin along with a guy who's next

4:33

to me drinking a coffee. It's our first

4:36

rainy podcast. Yeah, that is Mike Levin. Here

4:38

we are, as we

4:40

said, undisclosed location. Culver

4:45

City. Across from the ugliest building

4:47

in Los Angeles and maybe the

4:49

world. That is, looks like an

4:51

accident. Yeah. Looks like a building

4:53

that you put in the

4:55

backseat of your car in a hot day, melted,

4:58

and then they built it. It's terrible. And it's just

5:00

right in the middle and there's nothing around it. So

5:02

it really gets, really gets the

5:05

sing on its own. Yeah. So

5:07

just to set the scene, we are

5:09

next to like a combo field, like

5:11

a softball slash soccer field. We're

5:14

near the Metro rail. It is

5:16

raining. It's a little chilly. And

5:18

there are two gentlemen, we're under like cover

5:21

here because it's raining. There are two gentlemen

5:23

in the thing next to us having conversation.

5:26

And so this is it. We're in

5:28

the elements. Yeah. Yeah. If you hear somebody else

5:30

talking, they're not recording a podcast

5:32

and we are. How's tournament going

5:34

before we get to the game last night?

5:36

Is tournament going well? They had, they had

5:38

it up on some screens last night. I

5:41

saw Jerry Colangelo's college one, the

5:44

college of collection. What a fun upset.

5:46

Love rooting for the Scrabby Underdogs. Yeah.

5:48

The tournament going well. You're watching going

5:50

well? Yes. I mean, I am extremely

5:52

biased in that there's no way that

5:54

a tournament would not be going well

5:56

for me. I am getting

5:58

a lot of a little old

6:01

to be spending so much time drinking

6:04

and eating at a bar. I would say my

6:06

body is starting to reject, even

6:09

two days in, starting to reject it. But we're going

6:11

to get another full day today. Yep. Mike

6:14

has invited the crew out to come

6:16

see it. So the

6:18

place is called, give them a shot, a place is called Rockwood's

6:20

Tavern in Culver City. Mike's invited everyone

6:22

out. Is that a place, is that

6:24

like a normal? Yeah. I have

6:26

a very, very specific specification

6:29

of what I need from a

6:32

tournament setting. And the

6:34

TV's need to be close together, they need to be enough

6:36

of them, they need to be good with the audio. They've

6:38

got to be playing the sound. You can't have like music

6:40

on during the tournament, that's ridiculous. And

6:43

Rockwood's is good, and the food is good, and they're nice people. I've

6:46

been going there for like 12 years. Oh

6:48

wow. When I'm not working,

6:50

which unfortunately I am, Thursday

6:53

morning 9.05. Rockwood's

6:56

9.05 is like me and my friends Austin 316.

6:59

Like Rockwood's 9.05 means like we're fucking coming, we're

7:01

there at 9.05 in the morning and we're spending

7:03

all day. It's the best. You were saying

7:05

that you're getting old to be doing this. I

7:08

remember when I was your age, when it started

7:10

hitting me, that you are sort of at age

7:12

now where almost the

7:15

freshman could be your children. The freshman?

7:17

Yeah, right? How old are you? I'm

7:19

34. Yeah, so I mean

7:21

it wouldn't have been planned at that point. Things would

7:24

have had to gone wrong, but yeah, sure. But it

7:26

happened, you know? I remember when

7:28

I was watching the, I

7:30

had this realization, the first Aaron Gordon,

7:32

Zach Levine dunk contest, that

7:34

I looked at Val and I was like fuck. I'm

7:37

older now obviously, but like I

7:39

was like those guys could be, wouldn't have

7:41

been planned, but those guys could be my

7:44

children. Yeah. I bet your children would be just as

7:46

good at dunking. As well,

7:48

you never know. Yeah. Yeah, you never

7:50

know. So, a, so Laker,

7:52

I would say this for the, and we'll get into

7:54

some things that happened last night at the bar. We

7:57

had a party last night at Autograph Brewing Company.

8:00

Talk about some things there. The game last

8:02

night, I would say at least for

8:05

my sake, at least they gave us a bit of

8:07

a game. It did always feel

8:09

like throughout that entire game that they

8:12

had LeBron and Anthony Davis and if

8:14

they had decided to be better than

8:17

the Sixers they would probably do it.

8:19

It didn't feel like a win to

8:21

me. No, they hung with them. I

8:23

mean they shot what like 20 some percent from three? 30

8:25

percent from the field or 32 percent from the field. The

8:29

shots weren't falling and I

8:32

was upset about why Mo Bamba played that much. He

8:34

did play a lot. He accrued statistics. There

8:37

were a couple nice moments but it's just

8:39

so much Mo Bamba dude. He's just he

8:41

gets AD have like 20 rebounds because

8:45

Bamba was just so slow to everything and so

8:47

weak to everything. They're like come on man. Beebel

8:49

hasn't been like excellent lately but at least he'll

8:52

give you some like, he's all get you something.

8:54

He looks sort of overpowered by AD too though.

8:56

Like on a straight-up perspective. No, of course. I

8:58

mean he's not he's not gonna be better than

9:00

Anthony Davis but I don't I

9:04

don't understand with a Nick Nurse calculus of like

9:07

what Mo Bamba is doing is

9:09

better than what Paul Reed is doing. I'm worried

9:11

at this point that like if Joel

9:14

comes back and who's the

9:16

backup center like it might be Bamba and I think that's gonna

9:18

be a mistake. He's not a

9:20

good player. Can I offer a different

9:24

suggestion? So one of mine for Nick Nurse

9:26

has been that Nick is constantly using minutes

9:28

to motivate Paul and get Paul to play

9:31

right which I think on one level is

9:33

probably true. Phil Jackson mind game. Yes but

9:35

the other thing is that it

9:37

is possible that he is trying to keep

9:40

Paul Reed in as close to what his

9:42

normal role is going to be when Joel comes

9:44

back. That's why I like him off the bench. Yeah.

9:47

But even from a minutes perspective too. I don't know.

9:49

I just think they need to win some games. Yeah

9:52

well because they're they

9:55

like eighth seed certainly feels a lot more likely

9:58

than sixth seed does at this point. It

10:01

was a... So

10:03

I don't want to do like 20 minutes of Tobias

10:05

on every podcast. He... Thumbs

10:08

up? Well, he was 6 of 18. Thumbs up? Yes.

10:12

Argue with me about that. He did have... He

10:15

did almost steal... He did get one

10:17

offensive rebound that I remember. He almost stole the ball

10:19

from Austin Rees. I would say

10:21

the only thing that looked different is

10:23

it looked like he was trying harder

10:25

in last night's game than

10:27

he had been. But his brain does look broken.

10:30

His ability to dribble and make

10:32

decisions seems completely... He was

10:34

never like excellent decision maker. But

10:37

there does seem to be something wrong in

10:39

his brain right now, honestly. I mean, to

10:41

me... It's not just that the shots aren't

10:43

going down. Yeah, I think that... I think

10:45

part of that is the issue. To

10:48

me, the biggest frustrating thing... Do you feel

10:50

like right next to you? Yeah. And

10:53

so I stare at the camera, see the... I think it's a

10:55

little both, right? We want to look at each other as a

10:57

cannabis. I'm doing a wrestling promo right now.

11:00

The thing about Tobias is he just

11:02

can't move his body quick enough. His

11:06

brain-body connection is poor. He used to be on

11:08

defense, but now on offense it looks like he

11:11

has both. Yeah, it's both. But he got beat

11:13

off ball so many times, like LeBron on a

11:15

back cut, and he just can't shift his hips

11:17

quick enough to do anything. And

11:19

it's just like, man, you wish you were faster. Man,

11:21

you wish you could just like a quick twitch.

11:24

Any twitch, any twitch at all, would

11:26

be great. And he doesn't have... He

11:28

twiches. No. A shout-out to the

11:30

Twitch stream. I don't

11:32

know. Yeah. He's paying to teach

11:34

it. But not good enough. Not good enough. But

11:37

at least he hit some shots. He did make a catch and shoot

11:39

three and missed several others. Yeah,

11:41

I thought... That's the thing with Tobias

11:43

for years now. His on-ball defense is better than you

11:46

expect, and his off-ball defense is

11:48

worse than could be humanly possible. And offense, his

11:50

brain looks right. Yeah, it's right right now. I

11:52

mean, he also was out for a few games,

11:54

so... He needs to be a

11:56

little bit better. I'm not as good for the world. I just had

11:58

to do it a little bit better. I

12:00

would say this though, I

12:02

am sure there's no way he's going to be

12:04

back. I like there's no way he wants to be

12:06

back. If he is void

12:09

of any other offer, I just can't see. Not

12:11

from a Sixers perspective decision, I just, I

12:14

see a guy that just doesn't want to play for the

12:16

Sixers anymore. In a lot

12:18

of ways. Yeah, I mean... I

12:21

just don't think he wants to be back. I'm not,

12:23

I think I'm trying to protect myself on

12:26

the off chance that like... I don't think he's going to reset it. The

12:30

Sixers free agency hopes don't go

12:32

the way they want and Tobias

12:35

maybe doesn't want to play in Detroit, like I don't know. And

12:38

they just go like, alright, let's do a two year tradable

12:40

contract. I don't know. I don't want it to happen. I

12:43

don't think it should happen. I think those other role players,

12:45

if they're healthy especially like Covington, Melton,

12:48

Batoom, even Oubre, Buddy,

12:50

like those kinds of things would be more

12:53

helpful and also tradable. But

12:57

I'm just, I have to protect myself that it might. Speaking

12:59

of which, all that stuff, no need

13:02

to go into it here, but a

13:04

good explainer on rightsorichisances.com from Michael Conner

13:06

about what the Paul George cap

13:10

mechanics would look like if they signed Paul George in

13:12

the off season, just signed him in the space, which

13:14

as he points out makes more sense than any sort

13:16

of sign and trade at this point. But

13:19

it is somewhat restrictive. It is. You

13:22

start to go like, that's not that many guys. No,

13:24

they're basically signing, outside

13:27

of minimum guys, they're basically signing like

13:29

two guys. It's basically like the MLE

13:31

and something else, but that's it. But

13:34

yeah, good on rightsorichisances.com. Only two other

13:37

things from the game. One, just an awesome Maxi second

13:39

half. And

13:42

the other thing was Maxi second

13:45

half. Well, let me talk about Maxi while you're talking

13:47

about it. Okay, I'll remember that. Like

13:49

so many nice finishes at the rim. Like that's

13:52

Anthony Davis. That's Anthony Davis. He gets the ball

13:54

on the glass so quick. So fast. Gets it

13:56

up and soft. Yep. And to not do

13:58

that in fucking... just whack

14:01

the ball off the backboard, going that

14:03

fast. That level of touch and control is

14:06

crazy. And

14:08

he's incredibly good. And you wish a couple more shots

14:10

went in early. I think

14:12

it was one of nine from three. Yeah, well

14:14

he seemed like he

14:17

was pretty addicted to step backs for a while,

14:19

and now it seems like he's addicted to the

14:22

33 foot standstill

14:24

one almost. I prefer

14:26

the standstill. Oh really? Yeah, I mean like.

14:29

It just seemed like you couldn't get in there. Yeah, I just

14:31

like. There was too many times I think they

14:34

didn't get enough like driving kick action.

14:36

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think partly that

14:38

is the lack

14:40

of threats. By the way, not a bad

14:42

drive and drop off game from your boy,

14:45

Kelly Oubre. I think he had three assists. He did a three. He

14:48

did a three. Sorry, didn't you know that? No, I mean look, you

14:51

can always interrupt me to talk about Kelly Oubre improving as a passer.

14:53

Yeah. Yeah,

14:55

I mean they just, I. Without

14:59

Joe L&B, even as good as Maxi has

15:01

gotten, they're just like not gonna generate enough,

15:04

they're not gonna make the defense make enough decisions. Yeah.

15:08

And like, man, there's so many guys on the team that they

15:10

get the ball in the spot and you're like, they're not doing

15:12

anything with it. Nothing. We're doing something bad.

15:14

We're doing something bad, and so, you

15:18

know, MOBOMBA had the ball like two feet from the rim and it was just

15:20

like, ah. By the way. Not

15:22

for me. Fucking Kyle Lowry just will not stop

15:24

throwing that guy fucking into L.U.s. He won't do

15:26

it. He won't do it. That's all I love

15:28

to do. B-Ball had one nice possession that I

15:30

enjoyed where Tobias Smith,

15:33

B-Ball rebound, kick it out.

15:35

Tobias Smith, B-Ball rebound. Like thought about kicking out,

15:37

he's like, I'm fine, my second one I'm shooting

15:39

it. And he had a fade away over AD.

15:41

And I was like, great, good for B-Ball. The

15:44

Rice and Ricky Sanchez podcast brought to you by

15:46

Bodybio. Mike

15:49

from Bodybio came out last night to

15:51

the bar. Yeah, hanging out. Mike always,

15:53

Mike and CJ, like, Mike's

15:55

sort of looking like CJ's like uncle. At

15:58

this point, yeah, like. Oh,

16:00

happy birthday! Is Mike 30

16:02

today or something? 32,

16:05

16:07

Yeah. Shout out Mike's dog. Shout out Mike's sister.

16:10

So Body Bio. Here's Mike.

16:12

Body Bio guy. Tommy guy. There was

16:14

a guy... Next time he was close to the

16:16

bad it's ever been. There was a

16:18

guy last night that said he doesn't have

16:20

as bad a tummy as you, but was

16:22

thinking of trying butyrate, sodium butyrate from Body

16:24

Bio to manage his tummy stuff. We love

16:26

Body Bio. Body Bio, family owned and operated,

16:28

South Jersey supplement company. First

16:31

of all, like the site itself, so we're

16:34

talking about butyrate, how it can help your

16:36

gut, sodium butyrate, it's a... basically

16:39

helps your body create probiotics. Basically what

16:41

it does. We love probiotics. We

16:43

love probiotics. But the great thing about the Body

16:45

Bio website is, and

16:48

every supplement website isn't like this, very good

16:50

explainers on everything. The other good thing about

16:52

Body Bio as like a family owned and

16:55

operated company can shift gears

16:57

very quickly. New science comes.

16:59

They got to adjust like

17:01

calm, adjusting the like

17:04

the ingredient list on it right now. Be back this

17:06

summer. I think gut plus as well. Love

17:09

that from Body Bio. Almost sweet.

17:11

Almost sweet. Oh yes. When your

17:13

influencer video is coming out. No

17:36

tummy. That

17:38

Mike, not Body Bio Mike. Here

17:40

we are together. Boy, this is a watch

17:42

one. I just FYI, if you're listening, you definitely got

17:44

to watch. You got to watch this one. Dynamic. A

17:46

lot of dynamic action happening here. Last

17:48

thing from the Laker game, at least for me. Buddy

17:51

healed down to I think 12 or 13

17:53

minutes. Yeah. Kind of

17:56

weird. Looks way suckier

17:58

now than when he... Got

18:00

on the Sixers and hot and

18:02

then and really feel though takes a

18:04

while it seems like seems like

18:07

he needs I tweeted

18:09

last night about like his Apprehension

18:12

to shoot threes quickly and

18:14

somebody mentioned Seth Curry It's

18:18

not dissimilar From the

18:20

needs a lot of room needs a lot of time,

18:22

but if he's open he's gonna hit it Yeah, Seth

18:24

always had that like like like little hold Yeah, you

18:26

need to like help like pause for a second before

18:28

he could get it up. It was not a quick

18:30

one. Yeah Yeah,

18:32

I don't really understand that He's

18:34

he's turning down deeper threes that we would

18:36

like him to take considering the state of

18:38

the team. I I

18:43

wonder if this is Nick nurse I mean we

18:46

know from his time in Toronto like

18:48

Nick does stops trusting players and and

18:50

shortens rotation until it's like five yeah,

18:52

and so I wonder if this is

18:55

a He is losing

18:57

he has lost his trust kind of more

18:59

permanently or if when Joelle gets back It

19:01

just becomes like a all right now. He's

19:03

much more useful in that way Yeah,

19:08

I mean you can't really blame so many members

19:10

the rotation for them losing games are just like

19:12

really banged up They're not good enough defensively, but

19:14

they've competed defensively for the most part except for

19:17

Tobias and on some level, Mo Bamba But

19:22

But he's not played especially he's got to be getting threes up

19:24

and he's not doing it like no Yeah,

19:27

well, you know one of the

19:29

best shooters of all time comes to the Sixers Doesn't

19:32

really want to shoot much so much anymore. I can do

19:34

other stuff. Yeah He's

19:37

creating threes. Maybe he'll go

19:39

up in the creating threes ranking, which

19:41

is a famous interesting She mentioned Joelle

19:44

a couple of smallish updates

19:46

about Joelle goodish updates Drew Hanlon who we've

19:48

always liked and trusted and believed in Who

19:50

doesn't have Mike Locke? No, I don't believe

19:52

so I'm

19:55

saying some interesting stuff there. Do maybe check back in So

20:00

Oh, by the way, before we get to Joel, speaking

20:02

of Drew Hanlon, cut that, edit

20:04

it. No, just kidding. Did you read the article

20:06

on the ringer? I forget

20:08

who wrote it about Mark L. Foltz. I haven't tabbed.

20:10

I haven't read it yet. So there's an article about

20:13

what really happened to Mark L. Foltz. I

20:15

thought that the I my expectation and that's

20:17

just definitely to be what I'm guessing, but

20:20

is that the headline is misleading. It's

20:22

misleading. Yep. Turns out what

20:25

is in the article is not what

20:27

happened to Mark L. Foltz. That's what I imagined to be. I'm

20:29

like, I have to read this, but like I also think I'm

20:31

going to be mad at the end of it. So interestingly, and

20:33

I do forget who read it. This isn't me being disrespectful who

20:35

wrote it. Nick

20:38

Friedle Rob Harvilla. I don't even I'm just

20:40

naming guys that I know are ringer

20:43

guys. Okay, so so

20:47

the headline is what

20:49

really happened to Mark L. Foltz Nick Friedle

20:51

and it turns out when you read it,

20:54

it's everything that Mark L. Foltz said happened

20:56

to Mark L. Foltz. So it's really like

20:58

I had this shoulder injury. We couldn't figure

21:00

out what it was. We had to go

21:02

to tons of doctors and they turned out

21:04

it was the thoracic outlet syndrome. And

21:07

isn't that exactly what they

21:09

said happened there? Not too much of a

21:11

reveal. Not a tell-all. Not a

21:13

bears all. And

21:16

we get the check

21:18

out line of a grocery store. Mark

21:20

L. Foltz bears all. And you're talking to

21:22

two guys who want to see Mark L.

21:24

Foltz succeed. Who have

21:26

money on the Orlando Magic winning the division. Mark

21:29

L. guys over here. That's not what happened. But

21:31

just speaking of Drew Hamlin, Drew Hamlin tweeted wheels

21:33

up to Philly. So and

21:36

he does that at the same time

21:38

that Nick Nurse. What

21:40

like 2009 tweet? I

21:44

obviously couldn't see it. He does that at this moment. I'm

21:46

not allowed to see it. Oh, yeah,

21:48

because you're blocked. Yeah, I would miss. I would

21:50

miss great content like wheels up to Philly. And

21:52

you're also was there an emoji? You're also zero

21:54

dark 30 mode. I'm there dark 30 mode. Might

21:57

There have been an emoji. Maybe like a plane? No.

21:59

Rocket. They were yeah can be rocket Yeah

22:01

no no there was not. I did not

22:03

have be Bell modi. Nobel Nobel

22:06

to we'll Have to Fill in by Itself

22:08

And then we got that from Nyc nurse

22:10

that I think is it said the quote

22:12

here. We. Had a non contact

22:15

practice and he was able to go through that.

22:17

We have always said that we hope he's going

22:19

to get back to play. He is on the

22:21

court. I don't want to say daily but almost

22:23

everyday now. he's on according basketball things, check ups

22:26

and for nonviolent on Ago or avenue and enough

22:28

of a he's kind of in the ramp up

22:30

phase and then some more. Some

22:33

more clarity was he's gotta go contact

22:35

to one on one to five on

22:38

five to four practice before the let

22:40

him play. That. Said at

22:42

the ramp. So. It's. You.

22:45

Had mentioned. Weeks

22:47

ago be home clipper

22:49

game. Which. Does seem

22:51

close given all they say he needs

22:54

to do. And they've been talking about

22:56

the first or second week of April.

22:58

I did hear someone else sort of

23:00

whisper home or again but it doesn't

23:02

seem. it does seem Roses would go

23:04

to vote on this road trip. Now

23:06

know why? Don't know I say no

23:08

I just said that so assuredly I've

23:10

no, I wouldn't. Have

23:13

known as if to him real that the Phillies

23:15

have enough. Yes! I am going

23:17

to be real be would be willing to fill it

23:19

with of drills ornamental I yeah. But

23:22

he's gonna fight again. This is

23:24

absolutely get. He's innocent. is Jennifer?

23:26

We got one. Yep. My

23:29

blind optimism satellite.

23:32

Guard had directed optimism

23:34

yeah. And

23:37

he's he's gonna he's gonna play and I

23:39

would love for them to not be the

23:41

a seat but also for whatever your your

23:43

bottom first round and are fucking fucking yeah

23:45

fuck am I gonna cigarettes with oh yeah

23:47

because of for the season as a boss

23:50

in the first father the over seven a

23:52

game for them yeah as you can get

23:54

the other side of the bracket and there's

23:56

it's easier Massive fair weather o'clock here we've

23:58

been so wait so hosted. the House of the

24:00

Well podcast, if they're the eight seed and they beat the seven

24:02

seed, are they the seven seed

24:05

then? Oh, and then they play Milwaukee or whoever

24:07

the two seed is. Yeah. Oh, well

24:09

then that's possible. Well, they just have to go on the road

24:12

for the playing game to likely Miami

24:14

or Indiana. Oh, Indiana.

24:16

Indiana doesn't scare me. Oh

24:19

boy. You could cut that. Yeah. I

24:22

just really lose. Well, they're regular season teams.

24:25

They're like, you know, all that run

24:27

a hundred miles an hour bullshit, you know,

24:30

but they would probably play the six years

24:32

off the floor and then they would have to lose two,

24:34

right? Cause then they would go into the other bracket. Yeah.

24:36

Which is whoever

24:39

Chicago or maybe Atlanta or Toronto

24:42

Metro shout out Metro rail. Yeah. Public

24:44

transit. He's coming back. I've decided to

24:46

be optimistic about it. I, my

24:48

realistic thing says it'll be exactly what we've

24:51

had several other times in that he's going

24:53

to be limited and

24:55

he'll miss a couple of games here and there, even

24:58

in the playoffs, but I'd rather

25:00

have him play than not have him

25:02

play. Always. There's a warmth to having

25:04

this conversation every year. Yeah. Sweet. The

25:06

sweet blanket, the soft embrace of, of

25:08

a Joel muddy injury history.

25:10

Yeah. But I don't, I mean, I

25:13

still don't blame him. I don't know. He doesn't want, he's playing,

25:15

he's, he works his ass off. He tries. Sometimes

25:18

injuries happen. He's a fucking mammoth human being. He does so

25:20

much on this team. I don't blame him. My

25:23

take is that I'm blaming him. Well, I

25:25

don't blame him for this specific injury, whatever.

25:27

He'll come back. Hopefully it's good. I

25:29

don't know. I can't have this intense

25:31

discussion and this intense discussion about this

25:33

until he plays and we see

25:35

him and maybe he'll look great. And the

25:38

optimistic view of it is his body has

25:40

had six weeks to sort

25:42

of rest any, think about how arrested his

25:44

arms are. Yes. And the knee, his other

25:46

leg, so rest, baby's

25:48

leg now. Yeah. So I, I, I know

25:51

hopefully he has enough time to ramp up

25:53

and he's healed and

25:55

beat and we get a dream

25:57

playoff run where everything goes right. The

26:00

guy and a beat Doc Rivers and

26:02

or in the Navy or know the

26:04

heat the up and then they beat

26:06

the south of an avid that I

26:08

get to the final jazz and they

26:11

play the Naga Love and he outdoors

26:13

Nicole Yokohama is a one of probably

26:15

the best player of all time or

26:17

if I thought. As

26:19

the visit. Yeah of

26:22

the vision from the range yet

26:24

so. I guess. The

26:27

with what do you see a timer

26:29

on there were our okay wait a

26:31

few minutes before I doubt about a

26:33

more easier no legs and see the

26:35

the. The thing, how

26:37

long have been I can see a movie

26:39

that's When To Mars Dame. I don't think

26:41

that they will well as a better chance

26:43

losing the Laker game. Yeah, I would like

26:45

to have a one banked and when bang

26:47

to be nice. But.

26:50

Now they're smarter than is is

26:52

Sacramento. Back to back on their

26:54

toughest. What? Actually was sober

26:56

this here and then. Demo

26:59

thought were the other stuff speeding of

27:01

tomorrow's game so fly the process is

27:03

at the Clippers. a few hundred people

27:05

there. crypto.com of your.com arena? totally cool

27:08

know thing. I love thing.com and my

27:10

daily limit and crypto as the thing

27:12

is totally real and never learned of

27:14

it in the sixers. I mean officials

27:16

had built the hunger for the ah

27:18

yes there are those. It doesn't give

27:21

crypto.com on their job as a script

27:23

and crypto crime is awesome. It's like

27:25

he basically it's a having a a

27:27

passenger jersey. this is fake. Money

27:29

grist. Yeah so as though the

27:31

of totally normal invest in at

27:34

what is it? Don't know, gotta

27:36

it's real? can't see it? Who

27:38

created it? don't know. Grown ups

27:40

yeah, can make more like zip

27:42

lining bitcoin of his. Self

27:44

The first is is. Is

27:46

A to James Harden related questions

27:49

One did you see? I'm sure

27:51

you saw. So if you haven't

27:53

seen it, there's a thing where.

27:56

The Clippers were up on who

27:58

were they playing. of A

28:00

bad team they're up 21 points in the

28:02

third quarter James Harden draws the

28:05

defense kicks it to the corner There's

28:07

an open Kawhi Leonard who's shooting an open

28:09

corner three and James Harden who is on

28:12

the same team as Kawhi Leonard Closes

28:14

out on Kawhi. Nobody else was.

28:16

Yeah closes out on him Kawhi

28:18

misses the three. I loved it

28:21

I can I tell you as

28:23

a James Harden hater. Yeah, I also loved

28:25

it I have a

28:28

completely like positive sympathetic. Here's

28:30

what I think happened somebody at the bar asked me last

28:33

night What do you think was going on? Actually,

28:36

it's these two folks shoot who have

28:38

a horror movie Internet

28:40

site and they were a couple

28:43

fuck. I think it's called the cul-de-sac

28:45

of death or something Is

28:47

anyway, so we're talking about it. My read

28:49

on it was Here's

28:52

the rolling He

28:54

thinks that Kawhi is definitely

28:56

gonna make the shot and he is trying

28:58

for like a shove it up their ass

29:00

highlight move You know having

29:02

fun not taking it too seriously Sort

29:05

of Harden is only half sort of trying all

29:08

the time thing anyway That's the way I saw

29:10

it as him just not being he didn't have

29:12

like a brain freeze I

29:19

think he was just like Instead of like

29:21

running back and like holding of the three fingers I think yeah,

29:23

just like I'm just pretend to do this and then we'll do

29:25

that And I think

29:28

sometimes guys shoot better when

29:30

they're not like so wide open too

29:32

wide open Like I have

29:34

to have time to think about it or take a dribble or something

29:36

like that And so maybe he was just that but I honestly think

29:38

it was a split decision. Yeah, there's an in the game He was

29:41

like we're fucking winning. I'm fine. Yeah, and like this is kind of

29:43

funny if I do this Yeah, I think it was all about us.

29:45

I know what he was right. Do you know who I think probably

29:47

didn't think it was funny? Why go I I?

29:49

Didn't see that anyone asked him about it He

29:52

seems like a guy who would Make

29:55

Deceiving for weeks about how

29:57

stupid that was. Yeah. It

30:00

a very cool I hated it reminded me

30:03

it was like the to person version of

30:05

the Nick Young shoots the three turns around

30:07

arms in the air. I i want to

30:09

apologize was during their and in that moment

30:12

as he thought I should go to the

30:14

sixers he and that moment. Fuck

30:16

both of these guys on. I

30:18

get on him. actually two persons.

30:21

Much marlins sir. First question is James

30:23

Harden. Obviously will be on the Clippers

30:25

at some point. He'll probably shoot free

30:28

throws. The arena will be massively

30:30

quiet. We have the opportunity

30:32

to chant something. I

30:34

think booing is boring I don't have a

30:36

problem with doing but them were just typical

30:38

haters. Was trying to think

30:40

assembly has had a gentleman at the bar last

30:43

night. This has a we can't read land. Is

30:47

pretty really fun of. Red wine

30:49

is good, right? Yeah, something for

30:51

everybody. Is it a little harder?

30:53

That's what I said. Yes, some

30:56

same A I read bland red

30:58

blooded redlands the way right. Yeah.

31:02

Cabernet Neither rub one out and so

31:04

is this the right amount of like

31:06

nonsense. And is it

31:09

truth or single tweet like hurtful

31:11

things yes like this as an

31:13

axe with someone going to divorce

31:15

and detailing the horses of as

31:17

I gather is weird for like

31:19

that thrilling not listening nonsense chanting

31:21

nonsense as Macy go like make

31:23

them like month before they say

31:25

was a burglary or for desert

31:27

February redline. Okay and the second

31:29

thing is is it too thirsty?

31:31

had sent something Philadelphia related at

31:33

Paul George when he shooting oh.

31:40

Good beer or not, I don't

31:42

31:44

pay. Pay fans

31:47

hotel overhead as a little

31:49

thirsty. Little. To

31:51

I don't want to make news for

32:16

on the renegade we're

32:18

not allowed to we're not on the bill because the power

32:20

that the did want to be there still a little bit

32:23

of like the counterculture yet which would like on

32:26

the phone call here the

32:30

right to the content of podcast brought to you by

32:32

33:05

mortgage yes is a independent mortgage broker

33:07

what a mortgage broker does if you

33:09

don't know there's a mortgage

33:11

broker and a lender the lender gives you the

33:13

money the mortgage broker goes to the different lenders

33:15

to find you what you

33:17

need which is uh... a mortgage

33:20

they're great at it it's great that they're independent

33:24

shout out metro rail it's

33:26

great that they're independent because a lot of times

33:29

the bigger mortgage brokers what happens with mortgage brokers

33:31

is they take on too much and

33:33

also then the bigger ones have deals with banks

33:35

so they could be leading you toward a mortgage

33:38

that might benefit them more than it

33:40

benefits you mortgage yes it benefits you they

33:42

are very intent on not taking on too much

33:45

34:43

advertisement is so weird

34:45

to do the, well I

34:47

don't have it memorized, but

34:50

it's weird to do it in the park where other people

34:52

can hear it. This advertisement is

35:10

Alright, simplify the

35:12

process stuff. Okay, here we go. Yeah,

35:16

I have a lot of nonsense for rest of the pod.

35:18

Supply the process stuff. One, I

35:22

went into the bathroom last night at, uh, audiograph

35:24

at the bar and I

35:26

had mentioned previously, I think it was in

35:31

a filter in when we talked about stage fright at

35:33

the urinal. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All the notes about

35:35

the JJ. Oh yeah, yes,

35:37

yes, yes, yes. JJ's just swords. JJ's

35:40

just contributing loudly because I, wow.

35:42

JJ's swords. Guys, guys, he's not in the

35:44

box in the waiting room now. He thinks

35:47

he can just say, yeah, during the pod.

35:49

So I do get stage fright at urinals

35:51

and somebody's right next to me. So,

35:53

and I want to put this into context and for

35:56

the gentleman who I'm about to talk about, just to

35:58

be clear, I only had two. beers last

36:00

night. I was not drunk. It's very hard for me

36:02

to get drunk on beer anymore because

36:04

I can't drink enough of it. I get too

36:06

full too quickly. So I walk

36:08

into the bathroom. It's a smaller

36:10

bathroom. The stall was to

36:12

the right. I looked to the left. There's a gentleman standing

36:15

there at the urinal. I thought

36:17

there was only enough room for one urinal there,

36:19

but I looked around the thing. There was like

36:21

a thing and there were

36:23

two urinals there. The urinal was so close. I

36:25

would say it was 18 inches away. So

36:28

what I did was I go, I start laughing

36:31

and I'd go to the guy, not when

36:33

too close, and he

36:36

goes, you're gonna talk about this on

36:38

the podcast, aren't you? And I

36:40

said, absolutely. So I went

36:42

out. A live podcast

36:44

with Spike trying to pee next

36:47

to various listeners. So he was already peeing

36:49

I think. He was already midstream. I

36:52

did stand next to him, unzipped.

36:55

He was laughing the entire time, but

36:58

I did have stage fright and I was acting like I was

37:00

peeing, but I couldn't pee until he was out. I think he

37:02

did. Oh, do you think so? Yeah, I think he did. So

37:05

shout out to him. I forget his

37:07

name. I'm sorry. Oh,

37:11

same guy who goes. So

37:13

Sixers were winning for a lot of the

37:15

game last night. That

37:18

guy was sitting with his girlfriend

37:21

or wife. And by the

37:23

way, one thing I love about Fly the Process

37:25

is the amount of significant others who were

37:28

drugged to this. I don't think you can drag

37:30

a significant other

37:33

to a live pod, but

37:35

if the sell is

37:37

we're only going to the game, the other two days we'll just

37:40

go to LA. I think it's an easier sell. So

37:42

Sixers are blowing it and he is

37:45

very upset and she said something to the effect

37:47

of, I thought you said you

37:49

were going to win this game. And his response

37:51

was I wrote it down. I

37:53

always think they're going to win. I'm a

37:56

fucking idiot. I probably

37:58

could have guessed that. It's

38:00

a good moment. So then the

38:02

other thing that happened is, I'm

38:04

going to do a visual here. I'm going to see if

38:07

it happens in here. It's down. Right

38:09

like mid third quarter, I

38:12

see a this. I

38:15

see a walks

38:20

out the door mid third

38:22

quarter, CJ and Kelly, his

38:24

girlfriend, leave before the end of the

38:26

game quietly. Did get called out by

38:28

a couple of listeners. Where did CJ

38:30

go? Did he just fucking sneak out

38:32

of here? Maybe. She was.

38:35

Oh, she was. Kelly was sleeping. All right. Sometimes, hey,

38:37

it's a flight. Yep. I wasn't

38:39

sneaking out. It looked like you were sneaking out. I'm

38:41

still going over. Yeah. Like you were a plug and

38:43

dagger. Yeah. I want to like interrupt her. Like, hey,

38:46

I'm leaving by the way. Pause the game. It

38:49

did seem like he was sneaking out. Boy,

38:51

you a real, there's nothing I can

38:53

do if you say it was because Kelly was tired. Fuck,

38:56

man. I like Kelly and

38:58

I like. And she's here? Yeah. Yeah.

39:00

And she's here. I

39:03

have to admit, and also, you know,

39:05

East Coast time, game starts, supposed

39:07

to start at 7.30. Doesn't even start till fucking 7.45. Yeah.

39:10

It was late. Oh, that's the dance. That's

39:13

the dance. Yeah, that's all I got from

39:15

the bar last night. It was a good time. Everybody was

39:17

fucking cool. Mike, as I said,

39:19

Mike is doing the final four, the

39:22

March Madness thing today at Rocco's.

39:26

I'm sure some of our folks will show

39:28

up. They were asking where this was happening.

39:30

Yeah, my dad wanted to come. And I

39:32

was like, just fucking go to sleep. Enough

39:35

already. Oh, other thing from last night.

39:37

So I mentioned body

39:40

bio was there. I mentioned Morgan CS was there. LL

39:42

is on the trip. Didn't come to the bar last

39:44

night. LL. Got to leave him one,

39:46

two more. Yeah. Oh, do you think that's what he's

39:48

doing? Little taste. I thought we would get a. If

39:51

The Rock shows up to like every SmackDown,

39:53

it's like, OK, we get it. But like

39:55

a big surprise when that LL music hits.

39:57

Yeah. I

40:00

thought he was gonna get in late. I didn't see him. Do

40:04

you have any info, intel

40:06

on Ella's whereabouts on Friday night? I did

40:08

hear some rumors that he was a man

40:10

thing. Oh, did I say that?

40:12

His listeners were spreading it through. Oh,

40:15

okay. Is Jake gonna come today? Jake

40:18

is coming Sunday to the game.

40:21

He might come tomorrow. We have a big

40:23

pregame party. Yeah, Jake Pavorski lives out here,

40:25

still 14 years old. And

40:30

yeah, he is coming to the game on Sunday.

40:33

Should be a good loss. Shout out pregame party. Shout

40:36

out fly the process. Shout out fans

40:38

of Philly who take care

40:40

of everything. Shout out the T-shirt, the fly

40:42

the process T-shirt, which I have on underneath

40:44

this. Joe's doing a great

40:46

job. I'm gonna see everybody at the party.

40:48

Okay, what else do I have here? I

40:51

did get a jigsaw that

40:53

I was discussing with some listeners last

40:55

night at the bar. They

40:57

were betting, shout out

40:59

Eugene, who says he's a mic guy and

41:01

was trying to figure out what your answer

41:04

would be for this. As

41:06

a mic guy, by the way, he was, something quietly

41:08

he was doing during the game. It was actually very

41:10

funny. He clearly thinks everybody

41:12

hates on Tobias too much. And

41:15

he was mumbling about every

41:17

time Nick Batoom does something bad, nobody says

41:19

a word. Because Nick Batoom

41:21

airballed a three. Yeah, that was a bad shot. And

41:24

then nobody said anything. And then Tobias

41:26

airballed a three and everybody was like, oh.

41:29

So anyway, so anyway,

41:31

everyone was trying to, here's a jigsaw. A

41:34

jigsaw is when I give Mike a terrible,

41:36

would you rather, situation. People were

41:38

talking about it at the bar. Shout out to Ryan

41:40

who emailed this. It was a tweet from somebody

41:43

else. Rest of your life, every

41:46

time you're in public for the rest of your

41:48

life, you have to wear fedora at all times.

41:52

Other one, every drink you drink

41:54

for the rest of your life. We'll

41:56

have two drops of pee in it. Oh,

41:58

you know I'm going pee. Okay. Two drops?

42:00

That's nothing! I said the same

42:03

thing. Oh, you can get an eyedropper? Yeah. Two

42:05

drops of pee is nothing. Two drops of pee is nothing. Yeah.

42:08

In fact, there's nothing different from like, two drops of pee

42:10

and like, the kind of like, I

42:12

don't know, like sparkling water. The like,

42:14

the like, filth, the like, uh, fuckin',

42:16

you know, like with this like, you

42:18

know, raspberry, blackberry lemonade. Yeah, just like a

42:21

little bit of like, it's like, it's a

42:23

flavored water. It's like, that's piss. Yeah. That's

42:26

basically piss. You're drinking piss. Just

42:28

have a regular water. We did that. So yeah,

42:30

throw some pee in there. I'm my, I'm not

42:32

gonna be fedora guy. There's no, under no circumstances.

42:35

So, I thought there was a chance, a

42:38

lot of times in jigsaws, when

42:40

you pick a side, you're

42:42

like, oh, it'll be funny. I'll be the

42:44

blank blank guy. So I thought

42:47

that the fedora thing. The fedora, I mean, I just, I

42:49

don't know what age you get to that you think like,

42:51

it's time. Should be a fedora guy. Yeah, you get your

42:53

driver's license at 16 and you get your fedora at like,

42:56

what, like 51? Like,

42:58

when does that come? Is LL the

43:00

most likely Ricky listener

43:02

to be a fedora guy? I mean,

43:04

or most likely Ricky advertisers? I... Oh,

43:08

Mike from Bodybio could be a fedora guy.

43:11

LL? No. That's PJ,

43:13

that's Uncle Mike. LL's got the disposition to

43:16

pull it off, but he's such a, he's really branded his

43:18

self as suit. Suit guy. And

43:20

so I think that would, that would conflict. And,

43:23

what did you guys

43:25

say about the pee? Oh, we did have a health professional

43:28

last night. Tom, his

43:30

wife, I think it was a doctor or

43:32

something, his worry, Tom's concern was that

43:34

he could get sick from the pee. Two drops!

43:37

And she said... There's pee in it! She

43:39

said you're never gonna get... There's raining. Yeah. There's

43:42

pee in this rain! No. There's gotta be

43:44

pee in the rain. From the clouds. From the

43:46

clouds. It all fucking

43:48

cycles in air, wind. So

43:51

many peas, it blows up, it comes down. Well, Mike's time

43:53

fell right now. The clouds pee! There's no,

43:55

no, no, there's a lot of pee. There's about two drops

43:57

of pee in the clouds. there

44:00

is she said there's no way to come

44:02

down the airplane she said your body whatever

44:04

the acid is in your stomach would destroy

44:06

whatever I'm eating water

44:09

I'm probably today I'm gonna eat much more stuff

44:11

where stuff in two drops of pee so

44:14

and one other quick thing before we get to mailbag

44:17

and then so

44:19

we did a lot of podcasting about

44:23

the JJ LeBron pod yeah

44:26

I got there sometimes we

44:28

do pod things where we

44:30

also get a lot of off line

44:34

positive feedback from people who don't want

44:36

to positively reinforce what we're doing

44:38

because of relationships or whatever okay and let's call

44:40

them out right here no I'm not gonna say

44:42

who was no but

44:44

we got several off-air

44:47

Tommy but I'm again I'm not going

44:49

to tell me like it I'm not

44:51

gonna confirm or deny anything the Tommy

44:53

listen and like it we got a

44:55

lot of off-air Tommy's like not

44:57

JJ JJ now JJ's the Tommy

44:59

Tommy the feather day Tommy got Tommy got Tommy

45:01

45:06

the things that happens from segments like this you're typing the

45:08

name of it well no I'm finding the audio because I

45:10

want to play it one of

45:12

the things that happens is like bits

45:14

last so I heard a lot about

45:16

are they gonna fuck I heard a

45:18

lot about the omelet metaphor that you

45:20

use and I we got

45:23

four separate emails and a lot

45:25

of online feedback about the wine

45:27

that LeBron said he was going

45:29

to drink which is Shambrelin

45:31

or something but I kept saying Shambhatam

45:34

or whatever we got

45:36

two people so

45:38

we got four four pieces of feedback

45:40

saying it would be funny to hear

45:42

LeBron saying Shambhatam over

45:45

the song Black Betty that goes

45:48

whoa Black Betty Wambla two

45:50

people did it for us separately and two other

45:52

people so I wanted to play this for you

45:55

hopefully this will come into

45:57

hold it normally okay I'm

46:00

about to see what I'm saying. Shambhataan.

46:04

Shambhataan. Shambhataan.

46:07

Shambhataan. Shambhataan.

46:11

Shambhataan. So we got

46:13

that one, and hold on. That

46:16

one from Colin. Really nicely done.

46:18

And then Sterling just did... Shambhataan.

46:21

Shambhataan. Shambhataan.

46:25

Shambhataan. What a community we

46:27

built. That was all

46:29

about you guys. We didn't even suggest

46:31

that. And two people did it on their own.

46:35

So Shambhataan it is. A

46:37

totally great song. Alright.

46:41

What do I got here? Hard

46:43

to stomach? Hard to

46:45

stomach YouTube comment of the week. I'm

46:47

going to read it. We have two. You want to do the

46:49

first one? Why is the font so small? 45

46:52

minutes. Okay. Actually, before we do this,

46:54

hold on. You can start reading. Fucking

46:57

.5 font. This

46:59

is what I'm looking at. Do you

47:01

want to make it bigger? The

47:03

Write to Ricky Sanchez podcast is brought to you

47:05

by LL Pavorski Jewelers. Where Write to Ricky Sanchez

47:07

listeners go and get engaged. LL on

47:09

the trip. We were just talking about him. Up to 391. Write

47:13

to Ricky Sanchez listeners who have purchased engagement rings

47:15

from LL. Got this

47:18

email from Eric. I

47:20

bought my wife's engagement ring about a month before I started

47:22

listening to the podcast early in 2014. After

47:25

years of listening to all the great stories about LL, I've

47:27

always felt a bit bummed that I didn't buy from him.

47:30

I got a second chance this year. Oh

47:32

no. Coffee? It's

47:35

more on the side of my mouth. Okay. I

47:40

got a second chance this year and LL showed

47:42

that he's really the guy everyone swears he is.

47:45

When my wife's diamond fell out of her ring and

47:47

was lost, we needed a jeweler to work with our

47:49

insurance company to get compensated. LL

47:52

worked with us for months fighting with the ghouls at the

47:54

insurance company to get us every possible dollar

47:56

he could for a ring he hadn't even sold. The

47:59

insurance people were awful. and LL clearly got frustrated

48:01

with their constant BS, but he kept on them

48:03

and eventually it made them agree to a fair

48:05

amount. We just picked out a new ring from

48:07

LL, and my wife couldn't be happier. If anyone

48:09

who listens to your LL ad reads wonders if

48:12

he could possibly be as good as you say

48:14

he is, I can testify that he is. That

48:17

came from Eric. I love it. That was great.

48:19

But as I said, up to 391, right, Stricty

48:23

Sanchez listeners who have purchased engagement rings from

48:25

LL. There's nothing better than somebody getting pissed

48:27

off on your behalf. Yes, for you. It's

48:30

amazing, yeah. It's a great feeling. And

48:33

say that's bullshit, let me call somebody.

48:35

And actually accomplish it. Yeah. LL Pavorski. So

48:38

I had made the promise privately, want to

48:40

see if you want to agree to this

48:42

publicly, as we are on the verge of

48:44

400 right Stricty Sanchez listeners who have purchased

48:46

engagement rings from LL. You agreed to this

48:48

privately. You emailed LL that I'm going to

48:50

have sex with the couple. That's good,

48:52

the 400. To no

48:54

response. He didn't respond, I didn't respond, and he said we agreed

48:56

on this privately. I

48:59

guess that's an agreement. I'm not a law guy. If

49:03

the couple agrees, you can sit.

49:05

No. Not

49:08

having sex with any couples. I'm

49:11

not going to cuck anybody that goes to LL. It

49:14

might not be a cuck situation, no. Either

49:16

direction. Okay. No

49:19

matter which machinations. Okay.

49:23

You can listen, but you cannot

49:25

touch. That's

49:28

my rule of the podcast. Would

49:31

you, okay, last thing, then I'll move on from

49:33

it. Would you watch them have sex? Would I

49:35

watch them have sex? I

49:39

can't imagine a situation where I'd, sure.

49:43

Sure. Okay. LL

49:47

contributes to our charities, Providence Animal Society. I want

49:49

to play ball, sure. I'll watch them have sex.

49:53

And Mama T's. Great. Truly French. If you

49:55

want it, I'm there. If

49:57

you want to make it. No touching. If you want to play

49:59

ball. it all might go to run yet

50:06

had caught up how can

50:10

he hook

50:18

oil without

50:21

right recognize that

50:26

magnifying glass it's

50:28

really this is from mlg pro swag sixty

50:30

nine it's really

50:32

funny that only took everyone else that could be

50:34

scapegoated to be scapegoated before the rest of the

50:36

sixers fan base realize to buy it the biggest

50:38

problem he's a real testament to the idea that

50:40

when running away from a bear you don't outrun

50:42

the bear you just have to run outrun everyone

50:45

else where has

50:47

this person been as

50:50

if to buy as if the bias hasn't

50:52

been routinely blamed for everything yeah i i

50:54

don't think he's the biggest problem i don't

50:56

i don't i never thought he was now

50:58

if you added his salary i

51:01

think that i'm yeah that's always the total factor in

51:03

your when you have the expectations are what they are

51:09

where you been that you are coming to

51:11

a ricky you tube segment but don't but

51:13

don't think that to buy it properly blamed

51:15

for stuff well you to we actually do

51:17

get a lot of non ricky people actually

51:19

so but i mean i'm from us anybody

51:22

what what what outlet is going like no to

51:24

buy it so cj

51:27

uh... cj produces these clips for us

51:30

that are you keep short and a lot

51:32

of time those clips get to outside

51:34

of our audience so they're

jayjay lebron clips have

51:39

reached the road lebron stands so

51:42

one of them is lebron's rules

51:44

of a great player and

51:46

of course the first one was the

51:48

first one was going to history of the game

51:50

and the second one's was you have to murder

51:52

your uh... your family sacrifice

51:55

your sacrifice them at the altar of basketball so

51:57

i'll just read a few of these actually

51:59

this is not a LeBron, Stan, this is an

52:01

anti-Lebron, more like a sellout to China

52:05

for LeBron. LeBron's rules of being

52:07

a great player. Knowing the history of basketball allows

52:09

you to truly understand why the greatest players in

52:11

history actually were the greatest. It also teaches you

52:13

about the development of strategies and techniques so you

52:16

know what works and what doesn't. Mike,

52:18

any comment? Y'all

52:21

are just being dumb. Give me a fucking break.

52:23

SMH. How about bro delete

52:25

this while you have the chance? Okay.

52:28

How about, yeah this is a bad attempt to go

52:30

viral. You guys never played sports in it shows. Look

52:38

we could just be, I just don't

52:40

like the bullshit. Like

52:43

the businessy, bullshitty. Oh yeah

52:46

this one. I liked it. Balding

52:48

man who gets schooled at local pickup court knows

52:50

ball more than LeBron. Who's

52:52

the balding man? Who's balding man? Yeah.

52:55

Is it me? Yeah you're not balding. I haven't

52:57

gotten the haircut in a long time. I fucking

52:59

need one. I've been watching too much basketball. I

53:02

haven't had the time. Well but here's one that

53:04

I think is about me. I'm a lot of

53:06

things. I'm not balding. Hey bucko he's talking about

53:08

something you would never understand. Who's bucko? Which

53:11

one of us is bucko? Tell

53:14

us. And then

53:16

here's the other one. CJ and I were debating who this

53:18

one's about but I think this one's about me. Built

53:23

like a cancer patient trying to convince us he

53:25

knows ball better than LeBron James himself. That's

53:27

right. I get that shout out to cancer patients again.

53:30

Not being negative about cancer patients but if one of us

53:32

is going to be. Not a great comment. Yeah about the

53:34

cancer patient I think it's probably me. But

53:37

I also thought I might be the balding one because I always

53:39

wear the hat but I'm

53:41

not balding either as you can see. I

53:43

know people just take them what they can

53:46

swing at. It's

53:48

guys. We

53:50

don't have to be buckos

53:53

who believe like. You

53:56

think LeBron's the best reason why LeBron all those guys are

53:58

leaving they don't enjoy the podcast anymore. They're LeBron

54:00

fans. They can't handle it. Yeah, but

54:03

we finally like Obviously

54:05

what makes a great basketball player is not

54:07

knowing the history of the game that cannot

54:09

be number one in no World is that

54:12

number one not a chance? We

54:14

can just like we don't have to be we're not

54:16

at a TED talk What do we do just like

54:18

say be real about it? You

54:21

think that knowing the history of the game are

54:24

we choosing sides? We're gonna go play

54:26

pick up Fill out

54:28

this Air more play for

54:30

I don't want to see anybody warm up fill

54:32

out this questionnaire Where did

54:35

Marcus Johnson play? How

54:37

many years did Bill Cartwright play in the league? When

54:39

was he traded to the Bulls? It's like come on,

54:42

dude Come on Couple

54:45

of emails Right,

54:47

so Ricky [email protected] The

54:50

playback speed used by listeners on the pod has recently

54:52

come up multiple times So I wanted to give my

54:54

opinion on why it's just better at 1.25 X speed

54:56

both you and Mike Speech

55:00

cadence is better to be honest. You

55:02

guys just talk too slow more importantly the

55:04

intro song is better I definitely don't talk to

55:06

just play the intro song at 1.25 X on

55:08

the pod and let the listeners decide so

55:11

I think the guys just used

55:13

to it he's used to that speed so what

55:15

what this is I believe is you

55:18

know the the Diagnosis

55:21

of somebody being porn sick just

55:24

sort of like watching so much porn that regular

55:27

sex and interactions becomes Weird

55:30

to them because they've been watching pornography for so much

55:32

Okay Listening on like 1.25 X or 1.5 X is

55:34

the porn sick of podcasts the problem You

55:40

think we talk at a more normal

55:42

pace at 1.25 X? Because

55:44

you're losing the ability to understand what

55:46

a normal conversation sounds like you are

55:49

porn sick you need

55:51

to not think that music

55:53

needs to be sped up and Talking

55:57

needs to be sped up. I'm sorry We're

56:00

just fine. I'm

56:02

not, when I have a conversation with somebody, I'm

56:04

not like, God, they're talking

56:06

so slow because I listen to my podcast at 1.5. But

56:09

this guy is. I

56:11

think it's just a different, when you listen to podcasts, I'm

56:14

okay zooming through it and some people do,

56:16

I don't think, I talk too fast. But some

56:18

people really talk so slow and I'm like, come

56:20

on. Well I think I

56:22

got stuff going on. I think our

56:24

podcast too is not particularly information dense.

56:27

If you're listening to a podcast trying to

56:29

gain knowledge or something, but

56:31

I also think if the only purpose

56:34

is to learn things, then

56:36

speeding it up is fine. That's

56:38

the opposite. No, but I think

56:41

we're entertaining and the pauses are

56:43

necessary. Like all of a sudden when

56:45

you change it, it changes even the

56:47

point of the podcast. Would

56:49

you watch a movie at 1.5x? No. Of

56:53

course not. Well. Don't. I'd

56:56

watch some movies at 1.5x. He

56:59

says, Ari, Mike and NBA players over

57:01

helping on defense. Maybe it's

57:03

that NBA players are so athletic that they can get

57:05

away with what looks like over helping because they can

57:08

simply get back quick enough. It only looks bad because

57:10

we have to watch Tobias do it every night and

57:12

he's not athletic enough nor does he have enough basketball

57:14

instincts to anticipate and react to get away with the

57:16

over help. Yeah, I mean this

57:19

is always been my issue. I think like

57:21

it is sort of baked into the system of like

57:23

how to play NBA defense is something that you should

57:25

like pinch in and show help and

57:27

show bodies and show arms and then run back.

57:30

But like I just don't think that that should be the case for

57:32

everybody. I think it should be more on a person

57:34

to person basis because like they're not big

57:37

enough to contest. They're just not big enough

57:39

to contest or not quick enough to like show

57:41

up on one way and then get back to the other. I

57:43

just think it's coaches are

57:47

very averse to one player beating them

57:50

in like the same way every time. And

57:53

I would rather force that guy to

57:55

at least take tough shots one on one to defend your position

57:58

and not have easy one-time. I mean

58:00

I've said this a million times. That's

58:03

how I feel. So I slide my feet, I'll slide my feet all

58:05

over this goddamn park. You want a show? Everyone? How do

58:07

you set your feet? Sure. Something

58:15

like that. It's a real Ivy League looking. Well

58:18

I'm in jeans, come on. One

58:20

more email. writes [email protected]. Two

58:22

questions. This is from Tim. I spike

58:25

Mike and CJ. With

58:27

how bad Tobias has been lately, do you think

58:29

it's possible next season that Kelly Oubre will get

58:31

more money than Tobias Harris? Um... I

58:36

do not. I think probably not. But

58:38

I think it'll be a lot closer than

58:41

it is now. I think Tobias will get

58:43

in the 18 range. I

58:45

was going to say 16. And I

58:47

think Kelly will probably get like, yeah, maybe 8

58:49

to 12. Yeah. Something

58:52

like that. I think Oubre is a 220 guy. It

58:54

is hard to go from minimum to more. I think

58:56

Kelly will, but I don't think it's going to be

58:58

so much more. And non-basketball

59:01

question. When you're sleeping in bed

59:03

with your partner, how much space allocation do

59:05

you typically get? I'd say I'm a pretty still

59:07

sleeper, and I still get, and I

59:09

get one fifth bed allocation. Um,

59:13

I move around sleepwise.

59:17

I like to be

59:19

touching. Alyssa sometimes does it.

59:22

Uh, same thing there. Val

59:25

wants her space, and I'm like... Yeah. We

59:27

have a queen bed. I'm eventually

59:29

going to update to a king if we can. Um,

59:32

but... I think king beds are too big. I think

59:34

there needs to be a size between king and queen.

59:36

Yeah. And if

59:39

someone can come up with a queen plus... Yeah,

59:42

well there's a size between queen and twin. There's

59:44

a full. Yeah, I need a little bit more

59:46

of that. But, uh, because they are

59:48

so big. But, um,

59:52

I also sometimes go diagonal and sleep. I'm

59:54

moving around doing crazy shit. I...

59:58

get half. We,

1:00:01

we, it's half,

1:00:03

it's down the middle. She doesn't take up

1:00:05

a lot of space. She also will try

1:00:07

to appease me by the touching

1:00:11

when we fall asleep. Yeah, it's an early, it's

1:00:13

a touch and go. Yeah, yeah. She'll do a,

1:00:17

she probably does not want me doing a, I

1:00:20

can, if I lay like on, like put

1:00:22

my head on her shoulder or something, I

1:00:24

can feel how badly she wants me to

1:00:26

move. So she'll put her hand out and

1:00:28

do like a hand hold and

1:00:30

fall asleep. Yeah. Just be like, yeah, you're

1:00:32

a little, be placated. Yeah. You're

1:00:35

an old fucking man. Get away from me. Anyway,

1:00:38

all right. Getting

1:00:40

anything else? We got a basketball to watch. Yeah. 12

1:00:43

hours. Yep. So it's March,

1:00:45

baby. Hey, if you're, and by the

1:00:47

way, if you happen to be in LA and you're not

1:00:49

part of Fly the Process, this event

1:00:51

on Saturday is not net, you don't have

1:00:53

to be part of Fly the Process. So

1:00:56

you can stop by if you'd like at

1:00:58

Rocco's. And the other thing, if you end

1:01:00

up going there, there

1:01:03

could be extra people that they're not expecting. So

1:01:05

just be cool. If, you know, bartenders and

1:01:08

stuff, you know, just be nice. That's all I'm

1:01:10

saying. I think they're going to

1:01:12

be overwhelmed by if a lot of people show up. That's

1:01:14

why I'm saying be cool, you know? So,

1:01:16

all right. We'll talk to you next time. Wednesday

1:01:19

next pod, is it Wednesday maybe? Yeah,

1:01:21

Wednesday after Clippers, Sixers probably. All

1:01:24

right. That one, TTP. Yeah. You

1:01:26

know, Ligbait. Shout out Metro.

1:01:29

1:01:32

I'm not gonna get you. You

1:01:35

1:01:38

1:01:58

Not gonna let you fuck with me.
