Speaker 1: Good morning, Sweirl, and welcome to the Nodungks Podcast, presented by Fan Duel. It's Friday, November fourteenth, twenty twenty five. This is the drop. I'm Jay Skeats here in the Classic Factory, and alongside me, it's my top shat hot boy Trey Kirby, Hey, hey, and over Yonder making the magic happen. Super producer Jad Hello, there, he is no Task today. He's up in Canada to watch John Legend. He's alledgehead, alledgenhead. You're a deadhead. He's a lledgehead. Excellent. We learned that the show was last night in Niagara Falls. I thought it might be tonight, but it was last night. Asked Task for the Legend report and he said, quote, John is tired. He was all right, wasn't one for Ontario as he kept calling it. So that's the John Legend report from our very own Task Melice on the scene at the Falls. John's tired.
00:01:03
Speaker 2: So I guess he was shouting out Ontario because this was at the Falls. Ye, not in Toronto, right, Funny.
00:01:10
Speaker 1: I know it's a little weird shout out to Georgia. Yeah, exactly, that's kind of what it is. Just shouting out the province.
00:01:17
Speaker 3: You know, hello, Niagara Falls does not exactly roll out the tongue.
00:01:23
Speaker 1: No, And like in John's defense, how many of those people lived in Niagara Falls that were coming to the casino to see John legend? I think it's low. You think it'supposed to be traveling in. Yeah, well maybe Atlanta, Georgia, like the legend had tasses, but I think maybe from Toronto, Buffalo, you know, so it's probably right. Anyway, Uh, great report there from tests. Okay. On today's Drop podcast, we're going to rank the worst teams in the league. We have three teams with one win, so we're gonna rank them. We'll talk about brutal vibes. We'll rank the teams with some of the worst vibes in the league as well. We'll re cap last night's action only three games, and because it's the end of the week, we'll answer some rapid fire questions. But first I want to congratulate everyone. This show outlasted Steph Curry and under Armour. Hey, yeah, yeah, we did it. They're mutually parting ways. So Curry left Nike and signed with under Armour in twenty thirteen, right when we were starting up the starters. That's right, So lasted a while, but going their separate ways. If I'm not mistaken, Old Nico Harrison was involved with the Steph Curry pitch from Nike where they called him Steffan and just copy and pasted everything they did for Kevin Durant didn't go. Well, no, that's said under Armour.
00:02:41
Speaker 2: Remember they released those Curry two lows, the all white ones. Yeah, remember that. That was a legendary moment on the end. That's got to be like his first retro when they'd go full independent Curry brand, drop those big white marshmallows.
00:02:56
Speaker 1: Again, have you ever played in under Armour shoes Curries? No? No, I haven't had that, but I see them a lot people. There are quite a few people that wear them at pick up. All right, well,

let's get into our main topic here today. And it was inspired by somebody in the YouTube comments the Shiveley Show five seven eighty four left the comment and I think it was off of you talking about maybe players that were struggling early on, That's what it was. But they wrote, quote, we need a first team all washed guys that are struggling, guys that are maybe getting up there in age just don't have it anymore. They thought, hey, that's a fun idea. That's a good idea for the Drop podcast, especially with just the two of us. So that's what we're doing here today. We're drafting all washed teams. Tray and I will go back and forth. But to spice this up a little bit, we've got some different categories. Round one, we're drafting NBA grandpas, that's what we're calling them. Okay, what's an NBA grandpas? Someone over the age of thirty five? Wow? Yeah, ancient? Yeah, super old. Then round two we're doing old guys, which are guys in their early thirties. Round three is gonna be fascinating because we're doing young guys. Okay, we're saying anyone in their twenties, so from twenty to twenty nine counts for that one. And then round four and round five it's a wild card. You can go wherever you want. You can go back to Grandpa's old guys, maybe some other younger guys. So we're drafting all washed teams, Trey, We're gonna give you the first pick with this. We'll just go back and forth each round. So NBA Grandpa's where do you want to start? We got the draft music, all right, this is tough, man.
00:04:31
Speaker 2: I feel like there's two great number one choices here, and I think we're both getting the point guard if we really want to. But who do you go for? I gotta take Kyle Lowry?
00:04:43
Speaker 3: What?
00:04:44
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I gotta take Kyle. I think he shot. He's played one game Kyle Lowry has here. You no offense to Kyle Lowry, but I think he's gonna be on TV for Amazon more than he is for the Philadelphia seventy six ers.
00:04:58
Speaker 2: He's played three minutes so far. Yeah, he did make his one three point attend. It's maybe looking good. He's looking good from that perspective. But I think Kyle Lowry here is too. Is back on the Sixers to cash checks in his final season. He'll be making uh two point three million dollars this year just.
00:05:17
Speaker 1: To hang out? Hey, why not? You can tell he's washed because he wears a sleeveless undershirt under his jersey. Just not a look you see for a guy who was making it happen out. Okay, I know you were even thinking I was gonna go with you're gonna take him here? Okay, well, okay, I'm going Lowry. Okay, okay, Kyle Lowry off the board the number one pick. Maybe a little surprising. There's unfortunately a lot of guys to sort of pick from here in this category. Yeah, Grandpa's we're gonna get some more picks here in the wild cards.
00:05:43
Speaker 2: I think, oh, definitely. This is This is like the twenty twenty six NBA draft.
00:05:48
Speaker 1: People are vying for the number one pick because there's three guys who have a very solid choice, and they're saying, I messed it up. Man. They're saying, you drop the ball here with the number one pick. Kyle Lowry doesn't play. I guess you don't play. I guess people maybe can make the argument too, you drop the ball in the sense like you know, I'm never taking Lowry. Also true, right guy the groat, so he would have been there. But anyway, this is a funny category because I checked on Basketball Reference, there are only twenty three guys thirty five years or older who have played this season. It was at twenty two, but Garrett Temple saw some action last night for the so that gets us to twenty three. That does not include Lebron. It does not include Paul George, who haven't seen the floor yet this season, so it's going to be twenty five guys once they come back. But I will go with the other point guard that I thought maybe you would take. And again, you do love him or you've had sort of a love hate relationship with Chris Paul who I'm taking them or what? I've never once loved Chris play. Okay, okay, Well I thought you came around on him at one once upon a time. It was a good player. Yes, he's undeniably a good player, or he was. Yeah, but he's pretty washed right now. He's playing a little bit more than Kyle Lowry, not anymore. Well, no, no, but his stats are wild. This is the point god, right, this is one of the best point guards we've ever seen in history. He's obviously very old. He's forty. I mean, he's really old. He's averaging two point three points per game, three point six assists, and his shooting numbers are wild. Twenty four percent from the floor, twenty six percent from three. Yeah, we've maybe seen the last of him sort of in any sort of prominent role. And the Clippers, look, we got a lot of guys from the Clippers. We could draft in this Yes, you could just draft a full team of Clippers. Yeah, wow, yeah you could. It might happen. Ye, you easily could get to four. Yeah the fifth yeah okay, but too maybe. Anyway, Chris Paul is going to be my picker, I mean a great pick.
00:07:44
Speaker 2: And this might be Kevin Durant going number two behind Greg Odin because the Clippers were expecting something from.
00:07:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kyle Lowry is kind of like, oh he's still there. Yeah. That's why it's this way is this is an interesting exercise. It does It's sort of like how you think about wash, Like does the player have to had some expectations or was of course pretty good and it was really falling off And you're right Lowry, I mean Lowry was washed last year. Chris Paul. Chris Paul was starting. He's starting eighty two games last year, Right, that's pretty inviting and what like not like he was like point god, Chris Paul. But was fine, he played, he was okay, So I will take Chris Paul. All right, that's NBA Grandpa's again. There's gonna be more of those guys selected in the wildcard rounds. But we go to the second round. Here it's old guys standard, early
thirties.
00:08:36
Speaker 2: Where you going is a man who is thirty two and one hundred and thirty nine days old.
00:08:41
Speaker 1: I gotta get me a Clipper, got it.
00:08:44
Speaker 2: I gotta do it. Bradley Beal, Come on down, you're on my all washed team. I already got a point guard. Give me a shooting guard.
00:08:50
Speaker 1: Couldn't believe Tyler said he was the third best player on the Clippers out for.
00:08:53
Speaker 2: The season with a hip injury. That is an old guy injury, hip injury. But yeah, not a great start for Bradley Beal. Six games played, twenty minutes per game, shooting thirty seven from the field.
00:09:04
Speaker 1: Hey, thirty seven from three.
00:09:06
Speaker 2: That's all right, But it didn't look good out there, Bradley Beal. He was supposed to be like the lockdown defender in their starting lineup.
00:09:15
Speaker 1: In related news, the Clippers are struggling. Wow, Yeah, that's crazy. Whoever said that the Clippers were going to be better than the Lakers this year couldn't have been me. There's no way we made a short about Yeah, ye're fifteen of everybody convincing themselves the Clippers it might be good. Yeah, Brad Bradley Beal, give me, give me that, Brad. Yeah, so he fits this window. Like you said, he's not over thirty five, he's over thirty. So he's just an old guy to us here in round two. Yeah, fractured hip. Not good, fractured hip. But we don't even know like how he did it. It sort of feels yeah, like what yeah, getting out of bed? I mean, that's an old guy injury, right, Yeah? Did he have his life alert when it happened? Hopefully? Did you hear what, Tyler you just recently said, too well off of the Bradley Beal injury, jesus their third best player? Yeah, yeah, I disagree, and you disagree. I disagree. Yeah, that was weird.
00:10:06
Speaker 2: Weird stuff is happening, get La. Maybe he's just trying to make him feel good.
00:10:10
Speaker 1: You know, he's resting there in the hospital, I assume. Okay, so you have a point guard and a shooting guard. You slipped it in there. Yeah, are you trying to build like an actual roster? All washed? Not necessarily, but it happens, it happens. All right, We'll have the next pick here in the old guys, which there are fewer to me, Washed players. Oh, than the than the Grandpa's But okay, uh, where do I go here? I mean I could do it. Now he's going to be there. I'll wait, give me no, let's do it. Let's get fun. I'll take jo well embiid Oh okay, yeah, sure I had him as a wildcard. But yeah, yeah, I was gonna leave him for a wild card. Okay, maybe you would have taken him definitely. Now he's the best. He's going to be the best player I think on this entire all Washed team that either of us select, and when he plays, obviously the stats are still there. But this is not great. That he has a day to day right knee injury, and I don't this is ones that I'm not even sure when that happened either. He's had every injury known to man at this point. He has broken his eye socket, He's had a torn up other knee. Now this knee's lingering. He's had a hand injury, he had Jesus Christ, he had Bell's palsy at one point, and I saw Marcus Hayes for the Philly Inquirer right inbeed probably being day to day every day until the final day of this new three year, one hundred and eighty eight million dollar contract, Like, is this just where we're at with him? That contract doesn't kick in till next year. Yeah, yeah, he's signed through twenty twenty nine. That is just wild. And again he's gonna be the best player, but it's tough. It's it's his body has just like failed him, like every piece of his body here. So I'll maybe reach here going early, but I'll take TOOMBI.
00:12:05
Speaker 2: I think this is a good get to get embid. And it's like when you look at your washing machine, there are different soil levels, you know, it's like light, medium, heavy soil.
00:12:16
Speaker 1: How many rinses do you wash? Do you want?
00:12:18
Speaker 2: So I think there are different levels to being washed here, because you're right, Joel Embiid. When he plays, he can still score, he can still influence the game. He just can't play a ton of minutes and you don't know specifically what he's going to look like or when exactly he's gonna play, And it completely changes the sixer style when he's on the court. They're like a fast paced, perimeter oriented team when Embiid is not out there, and then when he is there, he's helpful screening, but like he takes up big post up opportunities and is kind of plotting getting up and down the court.
00:12:51
Speaker 1: It's just a bummer. Man.
00:12:53
Speaker 2: In the twenty three twenty four season, he was averaging more points than minutes. Then he got banged up last year and has never come back.
00:13:00
Speaker 1: Yeah. And what's weird though, is like he came into this season sort of healthy for dwell Embiid, right, there was nothing really, yes, sir, Yeah, you know what I mean for Embiid is what I mean. He does have a good attitude, Like it's nice to see that, Like he seems like happy, yeah six ers to be playing well yeah say that, yeah exactly. But it's just unfortunate and wow, I cannot believe that contract doesn't start until next season. Holy moly. All right, third round. It's a little weird here or taking washed young guys, washed young guess somebody in their twenties, tray, who are you basically giving up on? Yeah, this is kind of tough. Let me check my age here, Oh yeah, coming in right under Oh okay, the regulations twenty nine years old, one hundred and eighty eight days.
00:13:51
Speaker 2: Man, do I want to are the people gonna dunk on me. Are they gonna say it? Turns out you're the one imagine the irony. I totally disagree. If you were to say so, give me Tias Jones.
00:14:04
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, he wasn't expecting a Tis. He didn't have Tias Jones on your draft board. I didn't. I didn't, But I get why. And you've you've always, i think, pointed out that he gets maybe, uh, what's
the word I'm looking for? Completely overrated? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you've said this before for years. People like his assistant turnover ratios because he doesn't take any chances. He's not really a shooter, and there was a reason he was a backup point guard. He's played one hundred and fifty minutes this season. How many points do you think Tias Jones has scored in one hundred and fifty minutes. You know he's playing every game. It's got to be low. I know he's shooting brutal this year's shooting thirty one percent from the field, twelve and a half percent. And you said he's just under thirty nine, Yes, he's just under thirty. How many points has he scored? Thirty combined twenty total points? Oh? My god. Wow. Yeah, he's average. He's averaging one point seven points per game and one point three assists per game in significant minutes, sort of significant minutes, twelve and a half minutes per But they brought him in to be like the steady point guard for that team, and that has not been the case at all. No, a literal double single he's averaging. Yeah, okay, wow, Tias Tias Jones on the Magic I think people forget he's even on the Magic. Yes, yes, you could ask one hundred people. I think maybe ten would say that's where he is. All Right, I have the next pick here in young guys. I'm taking someone that turns twenty one next week. Okay, I'm taking Cody Williams. Absolutely, was he on your list? Yes, he is on my wild card list technically yeah, okay, now I know this is this all sounds mean, I get it. This is part of the fun. So it's a little tongue in cheek. But he had a historically awful rookie season last year. It was one of the worst, obviously on a Utah Jest team where like there was opportunity, there was a chance, like they're sort of like tank and he hasn't been much better in limited minutes here. He's almost out of the rotation at this point too. Like he's he gets like whatever, ten to fifteen minutes a game. He's played in seven, so some games he doesn't. I should say he's averaging three points per game. And the thing is, I'm like, I look at him, I'm like, ooh, are you like best case scenario Patrick Williams and more likely Cam Reddish, Like I'm starting you get those vibes from Cody Williams, who went tenth overall right in the draft? Yes, huh, similar to Cam Reddish. He went tenth. He did his draft, he did, so I go Cody Williams. You know, was he drafted with a little bit off the back of his brother being in the league, and he had a good month. He had one really good stretch. There's one stretch where he played well in college. Anyway, I go Cody Williams.
00:16:48
Speaker 2: Sorry, buddy, Yes, he's having trouble getting on the court for a team that's in a rebuild, and I think that's pretty indicative of where he stands out there.
00:16:58
Speaker 1: The Jazz like have needed wing. Like you're saying you went tenth in a down year. Yeah, yeah, for the draft for sure. But he's yeah, he's looking like Patrick Williams at the ceiling right now. Okay, so Jalen was a late bloomer. That's true. Jayalen Williams is a late bloomer. Hey, look, I hope he proves me wrong. I hope he hears this. And it's like, what I got draft to an all washed team. I'm not even twenty one. Turns twenty one next week. That's pretty young to be washed. It's very young, but I don't know if he's gonna be around all that long. Okay, let's go to wildcard round so you can go anywhere. Grandpa's old guys, more young guys. Where are you going, man, come on over here, grandpa.
00:17:42
Speaker 2: Clay Thompson is the pick here eight and a half points per game, shooting twenty nine percent from the field, and he has finally been benched by the Dallas Mavericks. He's come off the bench in their last four games. So Clay, he didn't really saw up for this in Dallas. He signed up to be a knockdown three point shooter, getting dishes from Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. They gave him a bigger offer to go to LA where his dad played, where Clay grew up, and he said, no, I have a chance to win a title with Luka Doncic in Dallas, and Luka Doncics isn't in LA right now. So Klay Thompson four rings. I feel like that was kind of the start of when Klay Thompson started tailing off a little bit. Remember his last year in Golden State, he was getting in a lot of like on court skirmishes.
00:18:33
Speaker 1: He always be thrown up four rings, four rings, four rings. It's like, yeah, that's the past, man, And it's feeling like that's the past significantly here he needs to make open threes because I feel like when he puts the ball on the floor, the defense is just feasting and ready to take it from him. So Klay Thompson Hall of Famer, top seventy seven player of all time, Right, but age comes for all of us, it does, it does came for this guy. So I guess, almost similar to your Klay Thompson pick, give me Kevin Love, I'm taking Love. I'm going back to the jazz, back to back jazz picks here, super young, super old, he's thirty seven. He like the biggest thing when I watched jazz games is like man him trying to guard anyone, like even last night with the Hawks, laying them up, like putting poor Kevin Love in any action, like like there was a big reason a Congou hit like seven or eight last night. Yeah, Love's out there and a lot of them, So I will go with him. This guy, I mean, he's borderline Hall of Famer, five time All Star, got the ring.
00:19:39
Speaker 2: I think he made a Final four when he was in college. Okay, Kevin Love would be a Hall of Famer. Yeah, it's gonna be close. So he's an awesome player.
00:19:46
Speaker 1: As the point, maybe he's a top seventy eight player of all time if we kept the list going. But I'll take I'll take Kevin Love. I was deciding between another Jazz player and another Clipper player, but I'll leave it up right now, so big Love. Any thoughts on him, similar to Joel Embiid. He looks happy.
00:20:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks like he's having a good time on the Jazz I know in preseason he's like in
the past, I would have pouted being traded to a bad team.
00:20:13
Speaker 1: Instead he's trying to be a good teammate.
00:20:15
Speaker 2: The Walker Kessler injury has probably forced him into a bigger role than he was even anticipating this year.
00:20:20
Speaker 1: But he literally looks like me out there. The guy is so gray. He's very gray. Yeah, there's not a lot of guys that have the cal Ripken look in the NBA, but he does. Yeah, and look some of these guys maybe not Clay as much, but like Kevin love Lowry to some extent, like they're they're on these teams, like DeAndre Jordan comes to mind, and like they're on these teams because they're a great locker room presence. They can teach some of these younger guys what it takes to win at this level. Like I get all that, But when you watch them play, you're like, oh, man, like yeah, he just it just jumps out to you like he's just so old. He is still throwing a beautiful outlet. You still do that, you can still pass, for sure. That's the perfect play for Kevin at this stage in his career. Chuck the outlet, pass, I don't got to run. Yeah, I'll stay back here. He's uh, he's shooting thirty five percent from the field, twenty six percent from three. I mean he was. He's a really good career three point shooter. Yes, for a big guy. So love off the board, all right, final round. It's also a wild card. Tons of names left, a lot of.
00:21:19
Speaker 2: Tons names names guys. I'm considering bogdan Bogdanovich.
00:21:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, have him in consideration, but I wonder just how much of it is injury related. And he's thirty three or is he older? No, he might be older. I don't know.
00:21:35
Speaker 2: That's a guy who's okay age, I'm not all he was in the second group. Yeah, oh for sure. He is thirty three years old and eighty eight days in particular, I guess this man would be a grandpa as well. Who I'm gonna end up drafting Another guy I considered KCP I think is in the mix for sure, Jonathan Isaac, John.
00:21:51
Speaker 1: Morant, Oh Joan. I was wondering, but ultimately I'm going Paul George hasn't played? Why not?
00:22:01
Speaker 2: Why has he not played? He got cleared to practice a month ago. They say he's mirroring his return. They're trying to build up his leg strength so that his knee can hold up. And it just seems very odd to me that he would have been practicing for a month, yeah, but not get back on the court.
00:22:18
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, he had a down year last year. He hasn't played since March of twenty twenty five. It's almost December. That's nine months.
00:22:28
Speaker 2: Off without like a specific sort of thing happening. I just don't know what's going on out there right right right, And that's the bigger question to me.
00:22:36
Speaker 1: It's like, why is he not playing? They could use him.
00:22:39
Speaker 2: I know Justin Edwards got super hot against the Celtics, but I think Paul George could still help a team. He's a guy who I think, if he gets back
on the court, probably isn't on the All Washed team. But I'm a little curious about his lack of availability this season.
00:22:56
Speaker 1: He should be back at this point, you would think, Okay, Paul George, despite not even stepping on the floor, the final wild card selection for TK. So I have the final pick here. Let's run some through some other names. Brook Lopez, Yes, this guy. All he does is just shoot threes down. I think his shot diet is like seventy percent are three point attempts. Eric Gordon another sixer. Oh, yeah. Oh boy, I have to admit I was like, oh, yeah, Eric Gordon is still in the league. He plays, he plays. Yeah, then you would think, I know, because Paul George does it right. DeAndre Jordan he's played. He started one game that was out of nowhere. That's pretty funy. Yeah, Al Horford again, Grandpa Nicholas Batoom. There's another Clipper, Mike Conley, yes, yeah. And then younger guys CJ. McCollum, Dennis Shrewder has been garbage for the Kings after a really good year last year with the Pistons. Chris Middleton unfortunately too. I guess just there with McCollum on the Wizards use of Nurkic, that's a jazzer, Buddy healed, Buddy healed is bad right now? Yeah, that's not buddy. I agree. Yeah, I'll shoo a fifty percent in a month. I got two Jordans that are young. I considered Jordan Poole and Jordan Hawkins. Yes, uh, you already said John Moran. Two. Jordan's on that team. I still believe in Bub Carrington, but god, he's bad, so not taking him. So. Yeah, there's a lot of guys, is there anyone else I missed from a very long list.
00:24:33
Speaker 2: Let me see who else I got? Did I say Jonathan Isaac earlier? A guy in the next D'Angelo Russell, Yeah, you said, uh Middleton, he's up there. Caleb Martin, I think would be another one who I would consider. I'm a little concern a kiss about Lamello Ball and Brandon Miller. Lamello supposedly is going to be back this weekend. Maybe he gets off the all washed list, But if his ankle specifically is washed, that's a problem because he's been missing so much time over the past three seasons with recurring right ankle injuries to the point where people are like, is the reason he shoots one legged fadeaways because he can't jump off his right ankle, and he's more available than Brandon Miller is, who doesn't have shoulders.
00:25:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. I think I'm ultimately gonna select because I want to like, actually make my team a competent team. I have a point guard. I have Chris Paul, I got my big Man, I got Jewel Embiid. I got a wing in Cody Williams. I got my power forward and Kevin Love. So I need a shooting good team. I need a shooting guard. You already took Clay, which was the best shooting guard, and you got Beal too damn. So that leaves me with I'm torn between c J McCollum and Eric Gordon. I think CJ's still got some big games left in him there, so give give me Eric Gordon exactly. I'll take Eric Gordon on the Sixers, who you said has played more than you think,
But has he He's played in three games. Gordon has played. I'm a completist. He played last year like half the season. He's not playing a lot, so you know, you know, Ticket is a great assault, but he's he's averaging obviously barely any point because he's very played. So it's he's just a shocking that he's still in the league. Yes, that's where we're at with it. So there we go. Let's recap our team. Does that mean literally four sixers got drafted? Embiid, Paul George, Kyle Lowry and two Jazz. Yeah. Wow, four sixers is a little shocking. A lot of Clippers left on the board, A lot of clippers. All right, give us your team, you're all washed team. My team is Chris Paul my other No no, no, no, no, yeah, I wrote it down wrong. I guess I should have on Nico Harre or I'm Patrick Dumont. I'm my bad, guys. I made a mistake. I have to admit it. I'm sorry.
00:26:48
Speaker 2: I should have taken Chris Paul with the number one pick, but I took Kyle Lowry as my grandpa. My other old guy is Bradley be On, my young guy Tias Jones, and then my wild cards were Klay Thompson and also a grandpa and Paul George who hasn't yet stepped on the court, but it is my.
00:27:03
Speaker 1: Wildcardeah, and also a grandpa. Actually yes, also a grandpa. Okay, I liked what you did at the end of your draft for sure. My All Washed team, my NBA grandpa, Chris Paul, my old guy who is still good, but man not for that money. Joelle embiid, my young guy Cody Williams. Kevin Love is my wild card pick, and then Eric Gordon my final pick. So I do I like my team there, I've got my great roster. So who drafted the best All Washed team? And who would have you selected? Because yeah, there's you know there's a lot of clippers who got snowed.
00:27:40
Speaker 2: We got we got a track down a copy of two K twenty six and run these teams.
00:27:46
Speaker 1: Play other Yeah, I think you would win.
00:27:49
Speaker 2: Well, you don't want to win because you would have embiid right, and he's gonna be healthy in the video game.
00:27:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't. But this is funny. I don't want to win because that means you drafted the better All Wash if you lose, want to catch twenty two? Wow, I don't know. I don't know. All right, So that's a lot of fun. Thanks to uh who is that again? The Shively Show? The Shively Show here in the stream team today? Okay, well, how did we do there? Shively?

Yes, he's William H. Macy. He's the cool That's a good movie. That was surprisingly I had love expectations that I really enjoyed it. I'm Macy. Yeah, me too too. I love this paraan too. That's actually part of his last name, H Macy. Okay, so let's talk a little bit about last night, and we're gonna have some fun with this. We're gonna play rank them. So I have a few categories for U Trey to rank in order, three things within each thing, and we're starting with last night's wins. We had the Raptors going into Cleveland getting up big dub We had the Suns beating the Pacers, and we had the Hawks, led by a couple guys putting up huge games beating the Utah Jazz. So rank them from most impressive, I guess is the way we're looking at it to least impressive. This is kind of complicated, yeah, because I do think the Raptors got the best win.
00:31:48
Speaker 2: They beat the best team sure last night, and it was on the
road. Cleveland could not get a stop, I could not get a rebound, it felt like, and the Raptors played great. Maybe they just got the Cavs number only time we'll tell, but I'm ranking at Raptors Hawks' sons, and in particular, I'm just most impressed with what the Hawks are doing on this road trip there on. Right now, they're six and two since Trey Young went down second in defense. You mentioned some huge games last night. That includes Jalen Johnson having a career best game thirty one points, eighteen boards, fourteen assists, and seven steals.
00:32:20
Speaker 1: Jesus who this guy was cooking.
00:32:23
Speaker 2: That was pretty impressive. The way he was playing. It felt like he had so many assists from getting to like the restricted area charge circle and then just kicking it back yeh, flipping it back and it was on. Yaka kong Wu knocking down a whole bunch of threes hit eight last night.
00:32:38
Speaker 1: I don't know how many points he ended up scoring. Thirty two, Yeah, thirty two and eleven for him with the eight threes. As I say that said, vit Crachie has been on fire in the last three games, seventeen of thirty two from three. I think he had his first five last night. Vet was looking great. All of our College Park Skyhawks are playing well.
00:32:56
Speaker 2: We love now so good Hawks have the Piston here in Atlanta on Tuesday.
00:33:02
Speaker 1: That would be a pretty good game. Hawks are playing really well right now. The ball is really moving without Trey Young out there. I'm not saying they're a better team, but they put out a good defensive squad. Everybody is long, everybody is active and athletic, and they can really disrupt on the defensive end, and then they're doing it by committee on the offensive end. It's been super, super impressive. And look, the Sons are playing well. To five straight wins for them. The main thing that stuck out to me a great game for Booker, great game for Dylan Brooks, but a disgusting injury for Aaron Nesmith. He steps on Jeremiah robinson earl's ankle. It looked like Maya Robinson's earl ankle. It's too long Ado's.
00:33:47
Speaker 2: I thought he was gonna be the one with the injury the way that things bent down, but it turned out Nie Smith left with Nie soren As I saw. Rick Carlisle said that they probably dodged a bullet, not a serious injury for Nie Smith, but like the least thing they need is another injury on that team. Sons are looking good, though, but ultimately I'm going Raptors Son or Raptors Hawks Sons in order.
00:34:05
Speaker 1: I think that, Yeah, I think that's the right order. I'm glad you got a little love in there for the Raps. Scottie Barnes is awesome right now. This guy is hooping and I know he gets up for any game against Evan Mobley because there's always been that talk from the from the draft class. But just he was everywhere last night twenty eight points, ten boards, eight assists, He had five blocks, and at one point he was playing so hard from end to end, like he subbed out and he was like just lying on his back exhausted and you know, like he's like trying to keep his back loose and all that. But it was like he was like huffing and puffin because he was bringing the energy. Emmanuel quickly. I'm sorry I ever doubted you. This guy's catching fire now here. Like he's better. The thing is, he's better with peardle him. When he's with Pearl, it works obviously a little more room for him to operate. He's hitting the threes now, he hit five last night, ten or thirteen. That the threes are getting deeper and deeper. So he's starting to feel that this was, uh, this a really good win because they're down early, came back. Then you knew the Cavs were going to come back at some point, sort of had the Donovan Mitchell trips to the free throw line. You're like, ah, oh, they're gonna lose this on the road. But then they sort of just put their foot down and had a really dominant fourth quarter mom and shed. These guys are really good, those two guys off the bench, I told few weeks ago. Wait wait until the Wow the Raptors bench, this new bench mob, they're pretty dominant. Wait for all those articles to start coming. They're happening now in the Toronto media landscape. Wait till they sort of sprinkle into the national media landscape or Zachlow starts talking about him or whatever. You'll see it's coming. Zachloe's going to talk off the Raptors. But you get my point.
00:35:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Pertal thing is interesting because quickly, to me, despite his name, isn't beating people off the dribble by himself. But give him a screen and he really knows how to operate, whether it be an off ball screen or a pick and roll sort of deal. So definitely having a big guy out there is instrumental and quickly being.
00:36:03
Speaker 1: An effective offensive player. He looked great last night, and I thought the Calves just kind of looked. I know it was the second night of a back to back, but they rested Mobile, they rested Mick Donovan Mitchell the night before, Jared Allen I didn't think look very good. And this one, and definitely Barnes took it to Mobli Yeah, yeah, and just I was gonna say it was impressive to put up one hundred and twenty six points in a win where Brandon Ingram struggled. RJ Barrett, who has been very consistent all year in a good way, positive way, he struggled. So they still found all these contributions contributions and a lot of it was like quickly and pertal and then the bench coming in there to go with Barnes. So all right, I'm with you on raps Hawk's sons and the sons are I'm happy to see them playing hard. Yeah, and I think it's actually Hawks versus Suns as well as the last game of the road trip for at last.
00:36:51
Speaker 2: Okay, spicy, So that's on Sunday and then they play here in Atlanta, Like I said, on two.
00:36:57
Speaker 1: Two good teams right now playing some of the basketball in the league. Okay, next one here, Jillen Johnson. He's looking like he's going to be an All Star for the
first time if he stays healthy, because remember last year we were saying that as well, and then he unfortunately got hurt. But uh, rank these trey and they're all international guys, Denny Avdya, Josh Giddy, and Jamal Murray as potential first time All Stars, so obviously most likely to maybe least likely. Yeah, I got to pull up my stat head comparisons here so I can get a nice look at it. Ultimately, I'm going Ovdia Murray, Giddy. Okay, asked me a week and a half ago. Giddy's number one, right, fallen off. That's crazy.
00:37:37
Speaker 2: I never expected that they started playing all these good teams road. But basically I favor a number one guy over a number two guy. No offense to Jamal Murray.
00:37:50
Speaker 1: He's playing with the best player in the world who can't miss a shot right now. Yeah, and the only way you can stop him is the double team. And then the Clipper said, nah, we've not got to do that. Just see how many shots so you can make all of them. It turns out for Nikola Jokic.
00:38:02
Speaker 2: But Denny Abdia twenty six a game, six boards, five assists, shooting almost forty nine percent from the field, knocking down his threes. He gets to the line all the time. When they signed Drew Holliday or traded for Drew Holiday, I suppose over the summer I thought Drew Holliday is going to be the playmaker for the Blazers out there, but it's Obdiya. He is their trigger man, he's their go to guy, and I think it's been pretty impressive the way the Blazers have played on the defensive end, and they're getting enough from Avdia and the supporting players as well to be really surprising.
00:38:34
Speaker 1: In the Western Conference.
00:38:35
Speaker 2: The Trail Blazers are beating good teams yep, and they're making them really work for it. So I think Denny would be my number one choice right now.
00:38:42
Speaker 1: Blazers play another really good team tonight in Houston in a Cup game, and the Blazers won their first Cup game. I think the Rockets lost, so the Rockets are obviously going to want to try and get that one back and have any chance to move on. So you went Avdya Murray Gidey, Yes, I like it. I think I would put though Jamal head of Avdia for two reasons. Projecting forward to when the people are actually filling out the ballots, the Nuggers are gonna have a better record, so they're going to be near the top of the Western Conference. They are right now. I think they're nine to two, only the Thunder better. And the other part is like I feel like a head coach is going to be like, well, it's Jamal's time. It's Jamal Murray's time. He's been sort of in consideration for an All Star spot for a couple of years. Let's get him in there. Now. They have a dominant record. You know, we got this international twist blah blah blah blah blah. Where Avdya maybe even giddy like they're pushed down like the pecking order, like we'll get to you, young kid in a couple of years. I could see that coming into play. Maybe I don't know, all three of
them making is probably unlikely, but two of the three in the mix, so I'll I'll just switch those right now. And that's not me being a Canadian homer. I just think the head coaches they do do that sometimes, so like they do when they're like really close. It's like, ah, let's give it to the guy that we've been contemplating for a couple of years. So I'll go Jamal Avdia and giddy. All right, next one going to be fun here, bad vibes rank them? Giving you three teams, could have probably put a couple other teams in, but we'll leave it at Mavericks, the Grizzlies and the Kings, And I don't know if you want to rank them from the worst vibes to the vibes that are not as bad or the other way around. But have about it. Things are great in Dallas now they got rid of Niko.
00:40:25
Speaker 2: It's on the up and up. Okay, Cooper Flag saying all the right things. We haven't given the fans a lot to cheer for this year, fair enough. Yeah, you know, maybe they'll trade Anthony Davis. We'll see the big cloud that was hanging over them.
00:40:35
Speaker 1: Though it's dissipating. We're talking cumulo nimbus up there. Fun word to say, cumulo nimbus. The worst vibes in the league right now. Are the Grizzlies, though, well ahead of the game, ahead of the Okay, it's a tough call.
00:40:49
Speaker 2: It's quite a tough call, but I feel like the Grizzlies are actively trying to get their coach fired and it might happen. They've got the Calves on Saturday, They've got the Spurs on Tuesday. These are both road games, and I would not be surprised that they said, Thomas, you can just stay in San Antonio. You don't need to come back with us to Memphis because they've pretty much given up. John Morant definitely has. That's why we were talking about him in our all Washed draft earlier. But Jared Jackson Junior does not seem like he is into this season either. I don't know if it's the substitution patterns that are different the way that Isolo is doing very rapid subs shorter stints. You know, guys come over in the draft and they're like, yeah, they only played sixteen minutes a game for his team overseas, You're like, how did that happen?
00:41:33
Speaker 1: It's because of these short stints.
00:41:34
Speaker 2: So it's a more euro League approach that Memphis is trying, and it feels like the players are rebelling. They've got a ton of injuries as well. They signed Jaron Jackson Junior to a big extension. Trades are not really going to start happening for another month here, and it feels like something needs to change and that would be the most likely to me for the Grizzlies to do.
00:41:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't select ultimately in the All Washed Draft because I believe I'm on record saying when he gets moved wherever he gets moved, John Moran's going to bounce right back a Lah, Jimmy Butler when he went from Miami to Golden State, Allah, Vince Carter back in the day, when he went from Toronto to New Jersey. I think that'll be enlightening for him. So that's why I didn't take him, but I would have. I'm with you on the Grizzlies being just down in the dumps and it's miserable, and they're only one game better because they've played one more and got one more victory than the Mavericks and the Kings. Like everybody saying, oh my god, Mavericks three and nine, Oh Kings, man, they're brutal. Oh, like, yeah, the Grizzlies are basically the same, is what we're getting at here four and nine right now, So I would go Grizzlies. It's amazing not to have the Kings first, that's how bad the grizz vibes are. And then maybe the Mavericks, Yeah, are feeling a little bit better after Nico Harrison fire, So I think you have it right here. Yeah, the Kings are there, Draga laying right now.
00:42:59
Speaker 2: They've lost their last four games by a total of one hundred and five points, which is the worst for the Kings since nineteen ninety one. And there have been some bad Kings teams in those times. They're getting smashed by not the greatest notion either.
00:43:13
Speaker 1: No, And like now Doug Christie, who's coming out there saying call me by my full name and we'll get into that in rapid fire. He's basically like seems to be telling the fan base like just stick with us, you know, bumpy part of the road, but we're going to be trading as many of these guys as we can. That's kind of like I'm reading into it, but my gud, that was my interpretation. Yeah, he is basically like I could put on a jersey and be better than these guys. That's what the coach said, and I said, do it? Do it? Doug. Yeah, we haven't had a player coach for a long time. That would be a great way to honor Lenny Wilkins. Let Doug Christy get out there, player coach and the Kings. Let's see if they can win or lose by less than thirty. Okay, so Griz King's MAVs do you agree or disagree with the bad vibes order? And then final one here alluded to it off the top of the show. We have three teams somehow in this league with one win. We are more than one eighth of the way through the regular season. Three teams, the Nets, the Pacers, and the Wizards still at one. They're all in the Eastern Conference. Trey rancoms awesome. Who's the worst of the bunch of those teams? An impossible question. This is so hard. You're like, you're looking at the Net ratings, the offense and defense ratings.
00:44:26
Speaker 2: They all got a thirtieth somewhere. They're all the worst team. At some point the Nets only win, it's against the Pacers.
00:44:33
Speaker 1: Okay, I was on November fifth, the most recent win for these two. The Pacers only win, it was against the Warriors. How did that happen? They'd be a full strength Warriors team? Wow, November one. Very weird.
00:44:47
Speaker 2: The Wizard's only win was against the MAVs when they were really struggling. That was October twenty fourth, and since then they have been getting smoked.
00:44:53
Speaker 1: That's when I said the Wizards they're scrappy bunch. They're scrubbed. Definitely said on the show when we were talking
about yea, the bottom of the barrel teams, you know there's something there and and I included the Wizards. But yeah, okay, yeah, they're losing pretty badly as well. They are thirtieth in net rating despite only being twenty eighth on offense and twenty eighth on defense. How does it all land up? I don't get it, but they get beaten by a lot.
00:45:16
Speaker 2: So my rankings go, uh, twenty eighth best team NETS, twenty ninth, Wizards, and then the Pacers thirtieth. I don't really think the Pacers are the worst team, but everybody on their team except for Seacam, basically has been injured. Yeah, at some point this year, So until they have some semblance of full health, I think they're the worst team. But I think the Nets and Wizards probably end up with worst records.
00:45:40
Speaker 1: Right right, And if I would like if we had a weird version of the NBA Cup and only these three teams were in, like the okay, you know, the toilet Bowl Division or whatever, I would have more faith because of Rick Carlisle, because of Seacam, the best player on any of these teams. The other pieces, yeah, everybody else is injured. I would have more faith than the Pacers be the Nets and Wizards in one game series to advance. So that's why I'll put them as the least worst of the three. But man trying to decide between the Nets and Wizards, I don't know. I guess Sunday we're gonna find out. Let's go, We're gonna find out. Now, locked into that one PM on a Sunday. Did we make our nut Dust Bowl team selections too quick? Should we have waited till this point? Now we have three teams with one win, and maybe we should like redraft because I had the Jazz and Jazz Man they're decent the teams. Yeah, and then the Nets. I had the Wizards. Oh so you guys had one of these, So I have to have the Pacers. Okay, I mean I just talked them up. Maybe I should back it up. Okay, I'll do it. I'll go from the Jazz to the Pacer. I like all having an Eastern Conference team. There's something that Uh so you said you have the Wizards. I do Okay, task has the Nets. I now have the Pacers and the nut dust bowl. For those new to the show, whoever has the worst team at the end of the season, whoever's the worst record, has to do a shot of nut dust and dusty ball. Yeah. Yeah, I just gonna choke it back here on the show. The people are saying the Nets are the worst team. I think that's right. Probably so, I think that's right. Allind out Sunday. Wait to rank a big gay game? That is huge? What is that a? Tell me that's a day game? Six pm? Perfect? That's right.
00:47:24
Speaker 2: Finish up your pasta and sit down and watch the Nets versus the Wizards.
00:47:29
Speaker 1: Where is it Washington? Pause? Pause? This is in Washington in the phone Booth's right? You want to go? It's not too far of a drive. Yeah, That's what I want to do. Hey, Fanduels, send us to the phone booth. We want to cover Nets, Wizards and all. It's glory. Come on, all right, fun game thereof rank them and again let's hear your ranks for those four down in the YouTube comments, some of you, of course doing it here in the stream team Right now, let's get to pick them. Tonight's game Portland in Houston, Rockets favored by eight and a half. Big line. Rockets are good, though, but the Blazers are scrappy. I'm ultimately taking Houston though, and I'm legit looking at the NBA Cup standings going Houston needs a blow out. They need a massive, massive win here to any chance. They gotta get first back to one and one in their group and need to hand the Blazers are loss and then you got to start getting into the point differential. So I'm going Houston. What's your reasoning for the Rockets I picked with task yesterday. Yeah, that was dumb and lost badly, not even close twenty five points off. Basically, this was a little nerve racking, though a gigantic line like you're saying point differential matters, and so they will play to the buzzer in whichever team is up is going to try and score as many as they can on the fourth quarter. But also, the Blazers have beaten the Warriors, the Lakers, the Nuggets, and the Thunder already this season. Now, now it was helped by a Sega baba, no doubt there was two. There was two that where a team was heading into Portland. I think, yeah, I think maybe the Warriors. I'm Thunder if I have that right. But anyway, they're good. They are good. Yeah, and they could cover. He's like, they could win this. We're being honest, So they could. No, they're not. Tests has them, So there's no way. This is unbelievable. Right now, he's on nine. I was with you. I actually thought last night, you know, I think he's gonna snap his streak. I wanted to I'm gon wrap up. I wanted to get that dub when he does. Oh, you want to celebrate with him? Yeah, I don't know. Man close and I'm watching it. You know, the Calves made a run in the second half of the lost. Yeah, yeah, nope, no, definitely not. The stink is on unfortunately right now, and we're at the point now with tasks not having a win. I don't know if you actually committed to this, but I did. I said, look, if tests can do the unthinkable here and go the entire month of November without getting a win, I'll also go go te style. Are you in on that as well or no? Sure? Okay, yes, okay, I don't want to be in on that. I'm so in on it that I shared it. I don't know if you watched the video I shared in slack, the guy teaching you how to shave a goateee cup. You take your cup, you take your mug, and you just hold it over your mouth. Sorry, you couldn't hear me. It was like Matt Austin doing his bath impersonation and all you need but you hold it over your mouth and then just shave around it and that's how you get the perfect coat. So anyway, he can't do it. Somebody said the odds are like one in a million.
00:50:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, if we pick like twenty games or something like that. Right, there's still I mean we're only two weeks in. Yeah, there's still a whole nother two weeks. But I'll be impressed if you can.
00:50:40
Speaker 1: Do it, it's amazing Okay, so Blazer's got to lose by eight or less. Yeah, and that'll get Tasks his first win in November. But otherwise we need the Rockets to spank them there in a Cup game to get another w. Hey, that's getting overlooked in all of this. By the way, we got pretty solid records on the years. All right. I shouldn't have said it. I'm jigxted out, but all eyes on Tasks and this cooler streak. We Yeah, a pretty good record, you and me overall, six and three, seven and two. Yeah. Man, I had a pretty good first month too. I think I beat tass On like the second to last night. Yeah, I think I was six and three. So you know, thirteen and five pretty good. All right, it's the drop, it's Friday. Let's have some rapid fire fun. Oh yeah, there's the music. I'll ask the questions, I'll answer with you. Guys. There's only three of us. First one. King's coach Douglas Dale Christie indicated changes coming, saying the struggling team star rag adding team is facing a bumpy path and that the organization is a ligne in what we're doing. What does that mean? We're not really sure, maybe it's a fire sale coming, But I want to know, guys, what's something else you'd like to see change? Trey, We need more.
00:51:50
Speaker 2: Belt loops on pants, we need to ban reviews in all sports, and we need universal health care.
00:51:55
Speaker 1: Oh, I hadn't thought of the first one, but I'm with you on the last game for sure. Yeah, those are all three things that are equal importance.
00:52:03
Speaker 2: I hate it though, when you get a I feel like it's Jeanes in particular, and they have the belt loops like on the side on your hip and then one in the back.
00:52:13
Speaker 1: You want big gap in between. Yeah, and sometimes you'll get like the waistband comes underneath the belt looks sloppy. And also universal healthcare. So it would be great, But I think belt loops on pants is probably gonna happen quicker you're ranking them. You're putting that one exactly most likely, JD. What's something you also you'd like to see change?
00:52:37
Speaker 3: I'm with you on all three as well. I would like a kitchen, guys, my kitchen. I mean this affects you, guys too kind of blew up about a year ago. You know, we're we're an independent LLC now, so you know, we're.
00:52:58
Speaker 1: Waiting for, you know, point for the money we start money to start rolling in. But it's been about a year. Uh skeets.
00:53:06
Speaker 3: You turned on the fauced yesterday and it almost blew up in your face. It does literally every time.
00:53:12
Speaker 1: I always forget. Yeah. Same, but like it's so hard the stream from his fossil, Like it feels like you could like cut something, cut marble. We could, you could. We'll have to take a video of it. Yeah, it's crazy. It is insane.
00:53:26
Speaker 3: And it's that way because I got frustrated with the lack of kitchen and I threw something in the sink and it knocked off the little the nozzle or whatever.
00:53:37
Speaker
1: So now it's like a fire hose. Yeah, JD's like kitchen, it's like in disarray. It's like parts of the wall. Yeah, like it's it is a mess. We had a massive.
00:53:47
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, And it's been a it's literally been living like that for a year. It's amazing what you can just do, you know what I mean, like just put up with anyway.
00:53:57
Speaker 2: That's what nice breakfast this morning. That's not like you had a nice breakfast.
00:54:01
Speaker 1: I we still use it. I mean, Rachel's cooking up for dinner later.
00:54:05
Speaker 3: Maybe it still operates, but operate, but it's kind of like camping, you know what I mean, but it tells how That's just like we got a cutting board that's on a built in dishwasher that's not built into anything, sort of wobbles all over the place and it's not functioning either the dishwashers.
00:54:21
Speaker 1: It feels like a cottage or a cabin kitchen like the eighties.
00:54:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you walked anywhere, like god, damn, I'm getting a refund on this AIRBA you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, it's like a fishing hole. Yes, yes, anyway, I'd like that to change.
00:54:40
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Hey, everybody go subscribe to our substack. Let's get those substack numbers up and maybe get JD a kitchen. Great answers from you guys. I'd like to change streaming services. We tried it. This sucks back to cable baby, Yeah, let's do it BTC. I mean, honestly, at this point, why not why not just all in one place. It's it's probably less money. At this point, I was thinking, why not like take like sort of the content creator world that we live in, where you can like, oh, you like no dunks right now, you can actually send us money, you can tip us money, right, Why don't we just do that with cable television, so like have a more affordable cable television costs now, hear me out here? We out. But then I'm watching a new show and I go, you know what, I really like this show. Here's a dollar. I don't find up all those dollars and like, probably true make great content. I'm gonna keep giving money or people getting money. Yeah, I don't know. That's real ratings. Yeah, that's the real rate exactly.
00:55:42
Speaker 3: Like you're given credits like your bill, you're just purchasing credits, and then you're distributing your credits throughout the month, you know, like yeah, Survivor there's two credits.
00:55:52
Speaker 1: Pretty low maybe not low on credits. Or it's getting better, it's getting better, okay, we have like five episodes left. It's getting better now with.
00:56:00
Speaker 2: You, would you still be able to watch the shows that you don't chip in for?
00:56:05
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, like, I'm gonna toe this on. Yeah yeah, yes, I think in my.
00:56:09
Speaker 2: World after ten minutes it pops up. You're like, would you like to tick or would change the channel.
00:56:15
Speaker 3: No, yeah, but with ads, right, Okay, so if you contribute, you get less ads.
00:56:19
Speaker 1: The more you contribute, the last ads you get. There's the technologies there, there there's something here. Yeah. But the point of all of this is, yeah, like there's too many streaming services. I know this is a classic old man ran, but I think a lot of people agree with this at this point, and it's gotten not a hand So let's just go back the way it was. You know what I really miss about the olden days of TV channel numbers? Yeah? I was turned on seven ABC, turn on thirty. Yes, yeah, that was fun, right, Like you know what your number is? Yeah, yep, I agree, absolutely, click, I have some friends. I mean, maybe you can do it for Like. The thing is, it's all always different, right, especially you as an American. It was different for us as somebody in Ontario or in Strafford. But like our buddy Paul Task actually used to be pretty good at it too, Like he could do like he can name you every channel, like every number. Yeah, but able to do it. But I forget, I don't think I have it. Yeah, I used to spend a long time.
00:57:15
Speaker 3: The hilarious thing is that it because of cable came in. There was the over the air channel, right, yeah, because City TV was channel fifth to seven, but the cable number was seven, right right, right right, so you don't have to know both.
00:57:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah right, it's crazy, crazy, crazy tize man. But yeah, this is like when a remote had to have numbers on it. Yeah yeah, because you were punching numbers. Now you don't. I never punch a number. I don't even know. I don't think they have no numbers. Man, I got remote thoughts too. Yeah. Oh yeah, I've had I've had a fire.
00:57:52
Speaker 2: TV remote for eight years. I still don't know where the buttons are. I'm pressing the menu button every time. I'm trying to fast for it.
00:58:00
Speaker 1: I hate it.
00:58:01
Speaker 3: You know how annoyed I was when I when I got the AT and T. By the way, my AT and T discount ran out finally. Yeah wow, we worked at Turner. AT and T came in immediately fired us, but they gave us a discount, Like so I signed up for that discount lasted for six years, so thank you.
00:58:18
Speaker 1: It's like what.
00:58:20
Speaker 3: I was paying twenty two dollars including it.
00:58:23
Speaker 1: Wait you had a good one.
00:58:24
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I had the staff the staff discount, and I was like, I ain't touching this.
00:58:29
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I'm not playing for sure, messing with anything.
00:58:32
Speaker 3: So was twenty two dollars for six years I paid, and then randomly last month that it was like one hundred and seventy dollars. So whatever, I was paying twenty two dollars for one hundred and eighty dollars, Like, well, I guess the party's over. I canceled that I was paying the one hundred and eighty dollars for this month.
00:58:50
Speaker 1: So so that's it. That's it for me for cable. So I don't know.
00:58:54
Speaker 3: But when I first got that, that the guide, the fact that it was
in alphabetical or I've found so annoying, you know what I mean?
00:59:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's like, yeah, why am I starting with Animal Planet? Yeah exactly, It's not even Shark Week anyway. Uh. How's the AT and T remote? Though? Was it nice? I was through the Apple TV?
00:59:15
Speaker 3: Was the it was the digital It's a fine guy, Fine, it got better over the years.
00:59:20
Speaker 1: For sure. Yeah I did. Okay, good old man time on that, all right. Next one here, Reggie Bullock has unveiled his finished ten million private island in Belize. The former shooting guard bought what is now known as Bullock Island a couple of years ago. The island has a main house, five cabanas, a basketball court, a beach bar, so much more. I don't know. If you guys watched the video I did, it was great block island. Yeah. Reggie said he bought the island as a way of coming up with a different project because God a't making no more land. It's true, no go to the United Arab Emirates. They're always kicking more. But I generally do agree with his statement. If you had your own private island, what's one amenity you'd make sure to offer? Trey? No bugs? How do you do it? No idea? I think? Is it bad for the environment? Probably?
01:00:20
Speaker 2: Will the foliage on my island be healthy? I don't know, But there won't be bugs. That's like everything else you can deal with. But if there's bugs on your island, you'd be miserable. But I'm saying, come to my island, we got no bugs. That's the whole pitch.
01:00:35
Speaker 1: You have. Somebody from Graydon's Backyard Care Company twenty four to seven out their spray and NonStop. That's right. But it's a safe spray, I guess, not the safest spray. I only want the safest spray.
01:00:47
Speaker 3: And you'd be the only client, and you would only you would need to be the only client, right, because that's the problem with it. If you got to get your neighbors in on the spray.
01:00:55
Speaker 1: That's right. Control of your island exactly.
01:01:00
Speaker 3: Keep the bees, get rid of the mosquitoes and stuff. Yeah, yeah, pick your own bugs. That's actually better than bugs. Only the cool ones, the cool bugs, bug pollinators only, all right, j D. Private island, what's one? Amended you make sure to offer? Yeah, I mean, you know, we always run these paths our wives and stuff. Of course, Rachel said, you pickle ball. Obviously I have a pickleball and I'm like, all right, yes, it's definitely part of my brand. But I'm going to put a pickleball court on there. Don't worry, baby, it's going to be fine. But I'm also putting in trails for motorbikes, interesting.
01:01:37
Speaker 1: Cool like motorbike trails.
01:01:39
Speaker 3: Hopefully it's big enough so you can have some interesting and cool you know, beginner trail and an advanced trail and uh yeah, because I love doing that stuff. I never do it because I'm a dad and I want to be there for my children and stuff yet alive. You know, they're kind of grown up now. So yeah, so i'd have to have like mechanic out there and you know, keep the bike shop going because I don't know anything about that stuff. I just like getting on them and riding them, rip them, and then I take them back and say, Bob, this is the clutch is blown on this fix it up.
01:02:11
Speaker 1: And then I get on another one and keep going. I got it back up. Of course, I wonder how much land you and meat.
01:02:18
Speaker 3: I don't think that much because the kids like see sag back on on on itself.
01:02:22
Speaker 1: Yeaing like Reggie, did you watch the video? No, I like you. They give you like the overhead shot, the drone shot. Yeah, and it's pretty cool. Island looks like a heart the way it's like shot. Anyway. I think it's only five acres, okay, And I will say, when you see it from the drune shot, it doesn't look that big. You. Well, there's the house, there's the basketball court, like you see everything. So I was like thinking, like, oh, where'd you put that? So maybe you need more than that. Yeah, but hey you're rich man, exactly buy a bigger island. Yeah. Those are all great answers. I can't believe nobody said mine, swim up bar. We gotta have a swim off bar.
01:02:59
Speaker 3: I mean I I thought that, to be honest.
01:03:03
Speaker 1: Give it all right?
01:03:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you putting it like by the shoreline or in a pool?
01:03:09
Speaker 1: I guess it's in a pool. But man, now that you say that, how would you do that? How do you do that? I don't know? If zero it's almost boulevard crawl up bar Bard. We've got like one drop, but it comes up from There's Kim Stuart, Canadian legend. Kim Stewart, Hey, he was at John Legend last night. Possible. I mean he loves the casino. Could have been in the fall she ran in the town. No, I want to swim up bar. Yeah for sure. Final one here. Every Wednesday, Tray has been jumping on playback to rewatch games from the seventy two and ten Chicago Bulls Championship season. It's a lot of fun, the nostalgia hits. I was watching this week. I was out walking the dog. I was like, oh yeah, on playback it was pretty fun watching some of those clips. It's a bunch of oh yeah, that guy, Oh hey, that's the guy. I remember those jerseys. And like I said, the edits are pretty good. Tenets are good. Yeah, and you can go back, which was with a ton of pace. Yeah. People are saying, maybe not the best time, three pm Eastern after we do it ten a yeah, I mean at night, you're gonna get more number. This person who was saying it was Laura. She's like, I have a weird time. I was like, okay, so what would I do it. She's like, I don't know. Running up to the games. Dude at six pm. I mean, it's bad. You're cooking. Damn g a washed. Oh that's good. Okay, well it might be changing his time here, but anyway, it's on playback. That link is in the show notes Joining for Free. It's a lot of fun. But I wanted to know because I was thinking when I was watching this, what's something else from the nineties. Okay, it could
be a movie, a TV show, maybe an event whatever that'd be fun to rewatch on the platform. Trey all right.
01:04:53
Speaker 2: My first two answers were both magician specials.
01:04:59
Speaker 1: I used to love watching too. But here's the thing. When you're talking about things from the nineties, you gotta go on Wikipedia and click the personal life section to see if these people have been canceled. And guess what. All the magicians are canceled. Every magician has been canceled. David Copperfield, absolutely, okay, he was the number one. Yeah for my next I will cancel myself. Wow. He stole the Statue of Liberty and that was what I got him. Oh, that's done it. Oh wow, it was as he's got a long section litigation. Sure, he says, I believe it. Ok, yeah, yeah, what about my guy, No, it's not nineties, my guy, David Blaine, yep, damn that Wow. I want to see both their specials. Unfortunately you canceled. Now you see me. Now you're dead. So instead we're watching Guts. Oh good one. Yeah, kid's American Gladiators basically yeah, yeah, I've never heard of this. Oh yeah, Nicolodeon. I only saw it because one of my babysitters had satellite television and they would get these channels. Yeah, go on Guts. Yeah yeah it was.
01:06:10
Speaker 2: I mean it was basically American Gladiators, four kids and their final thing instead of the eliminator was the agrocrag going up like this gigantic thing and there's obstacles in there, and it was just really cool.
01:06:20
Speaker 1: It was like a show. I was like, Oh, I'd love to be on this one. Every kid thought that. Every kid They're like, Oh, man, I just want to go on that. Do that. That's a good one. Who are they? The guys of the baseball guys? They rewatch a lot of things. I feel like they've done a series really on rewatching guts. What are their names? Uh, John Boy? I think they have. And I watched a couple and it was hilarious. Yeah, boy gut. Yeah, looked that up. Yep.
01:06:44
Speaker 2: This Guts contestant is either ten years old or secretly over thirty. I'll be watching that later. The ones I watched are really funny. The hardest we've ever laughed watching Guts.
01:06:56
Speaker 1: This is good. I need a new one. I guess I gotta watch Canceled David. Canceled David.
01:07:06
Speaker 2: New series coming on playback. It's called Canceled Magicians Got years of programming?
01:07:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, JD. Something from the nineties you want to watch on playback? Yeah, I'm from the nineties.
01:07:16
Speaker 3: This is also a bit of a Homer Pick Electric Circus.
01:07:22
Speaker 1: Great and I have no idea what it is.
01:07:25
Speaker 3: So City TV this is a television station created by Moses Nymer. It was it's still there or the building is still there, ninety nine Queen West, Sorry it's two ninety nine Queen West.
01:07:37
Speaker 1: Used to be ninety nine Queen East. Anyway, this is way too much back.
01:07:42
Speaker 3: They would they would turn the entire like newsroom, like the entire interior of this the studio into a nightclub every Friday night, and I think it was live.
01:07:53
Speaker 1: It was live.
01:07:55
Speaker 3: For a ninety minute dance party basically hosted by the enc operable Monica Deal the hottest.
01:08:02
Speaker 1: Canadian huge on her. Oh yeah Monica what deal? Uh? Super tall? Tall?
01:08:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely gorgeous, And you know, you would watch it. It was basically people dancing. That's it for ninety minutes. Occasionally they would have happened. They would have like it was like almost like American Bandstand like or you know where. It would be like Dick Clark saying, man, this is the latest track from whomever, and it would just be like like yeah, shocks of people dancing and it was a thing to do, Like like people would line up like at four in the morning on Friday to get in and then there they ended up doing like an audition process. It was a little bit of a freak show a little bit, because you know it was just like, oh, look at this guy and I were in a horse costume, and yeah, blah blah.
01:08:58
Speaker 1: That's awesome. It was. It was awesome, and we would watch it like we just have it on before going in. Yeah. Say, it was on at like an oddly early time for it to be a dance club.
01:09:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think the whole point was like this is going to ramp you up to go out and hit the clubs, right, And it worked and it was incredibly popular. And I don't know, I want to I wonder if it holds up. I'm pretty sure Monicadil has not been canceled.
01:09:26
Speaker 1: Oh I hope not. She's okay. It's for like to explain it to Trey maybe a little bit better. What was the name of the bar we would always go to here in Atlanta when we first got here. Was it the Basement? Was it just called the Basement? Yeah? And they would have like those like funk DJs and stuff. I remember there was like that stage and there'd be some characters like dancing on the stage. What was the name of the play. It wasn't not the Drunken Unicorn MJQ. MJQ was the other one we would sometimes go to. But the point is like just characters, because they would have recurring dancers, yes, because you got oh that guy's back calls back and it would become known as that. You know.
01:10:04
Speaker 3: There was sort of local celebrities almost, but it was it was national show, right. It went on much music, but it was weird because then the next morning it would be a news room. It was like a beer bust every Friday night, and then they would let all these freaks into dance.
01:10:23
Speaker 1: It was a very cultural thing.
01:10:26
Speaker 3: I don't know playing the music videos or were we just why I feel like dance. I think we were just watching people dance. And they would have like showcase DJs. But they would also have like like Instinct played Electric Circus, right, Britney Spears played right, you know, and then I think daft Punk played but anyways, and then it would be like, oh, it's DJ such and such from a
whiskey sygun is down here today.
01:10:50
Speaker 1: I'll you know, and it's crazy. The Hoodie Boys.
01:10:55
Speaker 2: Some of the original featured dancers included the Whiz Tory G warp One, The Hoodie Boys, Brenda C. Kendrick Pompeii, and Tyra j hell Cool.
01:11:05
Speaker 1: I never knew any of them my name, but I bet if you showed me those people. Yeah, that girl they had the hits of the two thousands too. Huh like this looks nice. Yeah, Destiny's child like you're saying in yeah, yeah, yeah, cool. It was good. Cool.
01:11:18
Speaker 3: It ran from I guess nineteen eighty eight to two thousand and one or two thousand and three. They cut the run time in two thousand and one from ninety to sixty minutes.
01:11:26
Speaker 1: That the dancers are dying out there. You can only do this so many times. That's a great answer. I'll wrap this up by saying something I'd like to rewatch on playback with all of you is Ghostwriter. He's a ghost and he writes to us, ghost writer, Is this a Shelton turnip Seed or whatever we're talking Jamal Lenny David. Uh, we got Gabby Tina, Yeah, we got them all. Grandma Cec Jenkins, don't forget her. So Yeah, this was a This was a show I think on was it on PBS, may have been a learning show. It was almost like it was a learning show, but it was good. It was like this multi ethnic group of friends. They were in Brooklyn and they were solving neighborhood crimes and mysteries with the help of ghostwriter. And who was ghostwriter? Well, it was someone that communicated with the kids by manipulating text and letters. So that's the only way he could talk to the kids. So like written words, through the written words, so either signs he could like change. I said, yeah, I think it was a heat in the end, I think we learned who ghostwriter is. But anyway, a great show. Loved it, so let's rewatch it. I bet it holds up. It's only three seasons.
01:12:49
Speaker 2: Probably sounds like the inspiration for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
01:12:54
