what TD one interception. Becker Mayfield didn't look that good yesterday. That lion's defense went crazy, but please roll the clips. Hey, Mayor Gibbs, top three. Gibbs look crazy, bro. He might be top two. Let's talk about it. Hey, first off, man, load a clip to this game.

You said top two? I might have to say top two. Oh, yeah. That's a good play. St. Brown, you know he do. He run across the middle more than any receiver I've seen, man. Six, seven. Excuse me.

Oh, my God. That is filthy. Yeah, that's shifting. That is filthy. I wish you would have a score of this right here, bro. Jamir Gibbs went crazy yesterday. 17 carries, 136, 2 TDs. This is a good play, Taz.

This is a good play, bad. Good play about, good hurdles, huh? Excuse me, hand to spin moves. Yeah. Young boy like that. That's tough. Yeah, he hard. That's special, bro.

Yeah, young boy like that. Yeah. Man, Jamir Gibbs, this is crazy. This is absolutely crazy. Is this the one where he's been in there? Excuse me. I'm just fast for y'all. Oh, no, that's how fast he is, man.

I'm just faster, y'all, bro. That is crazy. You know what's messed up about this? He probably got three more good years. How are you going? How you get that? Wait, hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,

running back, run it back, run it back, what I'm running back, put a running back, what I'm running back, run it back, run it back, what I'm running back, Run it up, running back, run it back, run it back. Run it up. He's moving. He's moving, but he missed the block. Hit this, I need this touchdown, bro.

He did miss the block, though. I need this. No reason. No, look at, bro, you see 31. First of all-pro player, but. He was supposed to score. That's not a touchdown, bro. scary sight for everybody involved.

He didn't look. He's scared at all. Get off, please. Touchdown. Yeah. Game. He looked scared at all. He didn't shake nobody on the field.

Like, niggas was just running next to him. Big people like that not supposed to move like that. I agree with you, but I'm saying him doing that was like not effective. Oh, that ain't nothing. Who got the tackle? Okay. Yeah. Steve Adams can move that fast.

Bro, Penn A would fold Stephen Adams in half and put him in a backpack. I don't know about that one. Is it? Is it you guys? No. want, bro. Y'all are strong, bro. Y'all are strong.

He will not foe Steve. Stephen Adams' probably can't bench 225. Bro, Steve. No, no. No. Now, there's a lot of people you could use in this scenario. What are you from? Not him.

What's Stephen Adams from? New Zealand, bro. It don't matter. He got 18 brothers. They're all Olympians. So because he got 18 brothers. They're all Olympians. Congratulations to the Adams family.

His sister probably can bench press 22. You know what? You know what? You know what? Hold up, Teeke. I came in a day saying you are not getting me in any more beat today. Look, what they say?

Well, wishes to the Adams family. Peace and blessings. But Pinesu is a little bit different, dog. That's all I'm going to say. But he ain't going to say, but he ain't going to lie. You've always sung his prices, though. And people across the league say that. Nothing but respect for him.

He's a throat off individual. I ain't going to lie. I got to walk a little bit. I got a few things to talk about. But that's Samoan, I mean, I say about light skin people, I just found out that a couple of dudes out, they're Samoan. Them Samoan, Polynesian, Tongan, dudes. That's not the same thing as being light skin.

They are different. They got different bones, structure. Yeah, I see Moana. For sure, they really do. I see Moana? No, they're different. They got the power of the island.

Oh, God. Real quick. Hey, these lines, NFC, they top of the line. How are we feeling? And the Mook, you said, you know what I'm saying? Lines, max some noise up there in NFC. What's going on with it? They're looking solid, bro.

They got a good defense. I don't know, bro. They got a good solid team. I don't know. They're solid, man. That's the football guy. They don't run like that. NFL is still wide open, bro.

I hate to say it, like, as much as I'm, I'm happy about what we got going on in the NFL still very much wide open, bro. So everybody's still figuring it out, but the Lions is legit. They got a good quarterback, good O-line. Probably the best run game in the NFL. Run game is elite. Yeah. Run game is elite.

Yeah, they got a lot going on. And they didn't have been in that moment. You know what I mean? They didn't been the hottest team in the league and got all the love. And, you know, I mean, they didn't experience that. So they're ready to go win something now. They're not really enamored. at the moment, you know what I'm saying? So that's a dangerous team for sure.

Yeah, it's a weird year because you really don't. It really is wide open, bro. I don't know which way it's going to go. Yeah, because, I mean, even before this game, we were talking about the Buccaneers and Baker having a, you know, MVP type season. But, man, you lose. Mike Evans, he's pretty much gone for the season, collarbone, concussion. I mean, hopefully he's healthy and back, but.

Yeah, definitely need him. That just changed a lot for that Buccaneers team that went to this game with high standards as well. They, O-Lond, is really struggling with injuries. Yeah. But they just got Tristan Wirth back, though, who's a, at least. league player. But I ain't going to lie. I mean, obviously, Mike Evans, Mike Evans getting hurt for the year is tragic because everybody wanted to see him break

that record. That's a hard, that's one of them all-time hard records to break, bro. Like, what was it? It would have been 11 years straight with a thousand yards. That's not easy, but 12? 12. That's crazy. That amount of consistency is crazy. He's first round as is. That would have only made the legend even more. Yeah,

first ballot for sure. You've been your first ballot Hall of Fame? Got to be. Yeah, got to be, bro. With a with a Super Bowl ring on him? Yeah, got to be, bro. Yeah. But I ain't going to lie. Credit to the bucks, man. I know the down guy when the Mecca was dealing with it, but the guys are stepping up making plays, bro.

Young Taz putting on. He's nice. And they try him because he was like, because he was like $150 or something crazy at the combine. He's nice, bro. Ballplay is a ball player for sure. No, well said, man. Shout to lines getting that Doug best right.

We don't need any more Monday Night Football Doubleheaders. I don't know anybody who wants to watch football at 10 p.m. That is crazy, bro. That is crazy, bro. I watch speed, though. I just watch for speed. That's all right. I hate to watch the offense

and they love watch speed. For sure, man. Get well soon, it got a little wicked last night, man. Shout to see you guys to get into W this day over the seconds. I've seen his note on Instagram. I was like, yeah.

I'm looking like, what he's going to. What do you say? I didn't know what that means. I didn't know what that means. Yeah, I said, yeah, it didn't seem like confidence. Yeah, I said, pray for you die. I was going to write you to say, Big Blue. I said Big Blue nation.

What is, what is Big Book? Come on, bro. No, I'm saying. That's Kentucky. That's Kentucky, my mom, man. No disrespect the game. Always disrespect the game. Then you got to wait with them.

What you got to do with Kentucky? Me? I went to Kentucky. Oh, my fault. I'm sorry. I apologize. My fault. My fault.

they didn't play because of my dog. Yeah. To recover from the panel, so you go down two scores. Take that smut off Sam Dada name. I said he was only good in Minnesota. That's tough. And boom on a rap, get bouncy. Oh, we had to play that. I promise you, that's my sell.

I scored a touchdown. I ain't gonna lie. I told the kicker, I said, if I score a touchdown, just prepare to kick that shit 15 yards further. I'm gonna lie. I don't care.

I'm getting the penalty if I score a tug. I'm just letting you on them. Yeah, you can't touch it. You got a, don't, you just can't touch the upright. Go post. Yeah.

Ain't like in high school? Y'all had that, is that? In warm-ups. In warm-ups, you can't touch the room? Yeah, you can't dunk. That's the weirdest. I don't know why, but that's a rule. I ain't going to lie, but y'all be getting y'all shit off, though,

because then y'all just, like, that's tough. That's tough. That's hard. You can dunk in a league, though, I think. Yeah, in the league. But in high school? High school, I mean, they got your song playing. I don't think you can duck in college.

What was your song when y'all ran out? That's a tech, ain't it? Y'all had a song when y'all ran out for women blinds. And when I was in high school? Yeah. Mons was rapping time. Jim Jones did upset. So that's the cap of, for sure.

And then we had, that's what's up. Yeah. You got it? Yeah. Mook. We went to the same school, so they kind of kept it the same. We had that's what's up too. Yeah.

That's all right. Classic. All right, man, before we get to the coast, let's hopping in the super chat this morning. Travis Prince says, who would be more successful in the 90s? Joel N.B. or Joker? M.

He's not a real bad. I'm not saying he's sweet, but I'm just saying... He did. It's different when somebody 3.30 pounds. That's out of pocket, bro. Well, Stephen Adams is probably just... He is 7, 300, bro. 300 pounds, bro.

Like, nothing to happen, bro. He's dumbed. I ain't going to hold you. If you're standing at the Zbo a little different, right? Everybody know he dumbed strong. Yeah. I didn't bump into Zibo in the club

like 10 times, bro. You were safe. Like literally. Like 10 times. Shout to bro. Yeah, shout out of the league. He was still in the league. I'm like,

they, ain't you? Deep in the rap. He was acting. Shout out the mud, baby. Gang. Theodore of the Supertats. Mike should be me. Ballou.

Anorama. That's my D.C. Agenrema. It's a crazy combo of Payton and Eli. El Romo. Maybe. Respect. I don't know who that is.

I just got me in trouble. Yeah, shout to him. Aston to Supertrak said, what's good. member here, shout out to the trenches. Why don't teams run, prevent defense, Giants versus Broncos, and have you ever been in that situation before?

That's a great question. First of all, shout out to the trenches. Shout out to the members. But, bro, I've been trying to, I've been telling people this for years, bro. The hardest thing in the NFL to do is to maintain an early lead, bro. Especially if you got a competent

or a veteran quarterback on that team, bro. Because, all right, so we doing what we're doing to the charges. We up 20 points. They got Herbert, though. So it's like at a certain point, you know, you can't keep like being so aggressive. You kind of, you got to keep your foot on the gas because you don't want to like not, you got to keep playing the game. You know what I'm saying?

The offense got to say, and they still got to score defensively. You still got to make plays. But at the same time, you're trying to use time. You know what I mean? So it's like at that point, and they're being aggressive. So like in the NFL, like it's like two minute mode, you know, the last two minutes of a half or a game. they just all passing, no huddle, tempo, Herbert taking shots.

They're running crazy routes. So at the same time, you really just trying to make him check down. You can't give up a bomb. So the whole time, you're just like, look, check it down, check it down. We need, like, we had like a 20-play draw to end the game. I was on the field for 10 minutes. That is absurd.

10 minutes of game time, bro. My D-Line is on the knee. These niggas is a lot too threw up. I look over and they huddle. They on the knee. They did. You know what I'm on some. they tired, we tired.

Niggas looking at me like, bro, shut the fuck up. Bro, it was a long-ass job. But at the same time, that's what it takes to win. It's one of the hardest things to do. You got to play complimentary ball. That's what we was not good at, like, all other years. I feel like that's probably one of our biggest jumps between this year and the years, other years,

is just playing complimentary ball. Prime example is with that Denver Giants game, bro. They was up 30, bro. It's just like, you start letting somebody like, boating. You tell me that we about to lose, I don't care. I'm going to bomb it.

I'm going to just throw it up. Yeah. Now, he's, you get a flag, whatever. Nice to, you know, that shit get the roll-in. Should, he was up. 30 points in loss. Like, that shit happened to me.

Like, that shit is different. 10-minute straight. Yeah, that's a whole-core. On the line, that's like a fight, bro, for 10 minutes straight. Yeah, that's crazy. They ain't had no timeouts or nothing. What you mean?

Like doing that 10 minutes? You can't do that because, like, in the second half, it's just kind of like, you're not going to use a timeout because you're tired. Like, nobody's going to do it. You got to use them timeouts got to be situational. I'm saying they ain't called nothing. No, they're trying to hold it because they're trying to score.

They're trying to score as fast as they can. That way, if they get on offense and they can stop JT, you know, which, you know, God bless. But, you know, then they're going to use their timeouts to try to get the ball back and score. So it's honestly one of the toughest things that they do in the league. I can believe.

Even though they are such a powerful player in finance, you wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them. And even harder to understand. Donald Trump's trade war, 2.0, is only accelerating the process of de-dollarization, which in a way is jargon for people turning away from the dollar. That is where the big take from Bloomberg podcast comes in, to connect the dots.

How unusual is a deal like this? Unprecedented. Every weekday afternoon, we dive deep into one big global business story. The biggest story of the reaction of the oil market to the conflict in the Middle East is one of what has not happened. Katie, you told me that ETFs are your favorite thing. They are. Explain that. Why is that the case? And unpack what it means for you. Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsize indicators of inflation. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here we go. Hey, I'm Cal Penn, and on my new podcast, Here We Go again, we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself?

You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movies, but I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like 15 seconds ago, a podcast host. Along the way, I've made some friends who are experts in science, politics, and pop culture. And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like, are we heading towards another financial crash like in 08? Is non-monogamy back in style? And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes or early. We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lily Singh, and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really wrong.

Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now, because it is. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future. Listen and subscribe to here we go again with Cal Penn on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, everybody? Daniel Jeremiah here. And I'm Bucky Brooks. On Move the Sticks, we take you inside the game from scouting reports and player development to team building philosophies, coaching trends, and how front offices construct winning rosters.

Every week, we study the tape, talk to decision makers, and share the insights you won't find anywhere else. It's the kind of conversation that connects the dots from college football prospects to the NFL stars of tomorrow. We break down the draft, analyze matches. and evaluate how teams put it all together on game day.

Hopefully it don't get you in any trouble.

In that situation where the Giants, you know, give up 33 points in the fourth quarter, is that on the coaching staff or is that one of the players? Both, to be honest with you. But, again, I've been in that situation. It's something I actually talked to Shane about, like, just because that's really a tough, it's hard for Shane as a play caller.

Shane is an aggressive play caller. You go on offense, he's not trying to score too fast. So you're playing against a great defense and you're trying to not score too fast. You're not calling you, I'm saying? And then you, I think, on their side, on defense, they blitzing, they're going for picks. Like, you play, you, like, now you're playing passive. So it's a tough situation to be in. But at the end of the day, players got to make plays.

Yeah. Players got to make plays. Coach has got to put you in the right situation for sure, but players got to make plays. So that's, that's on everybody. I get the clock situation trying to, but if you score the ball, you still win. so you might as well just play if that's how you coached well that that's that's the thought like you want to like I think we got more of a killer mentality and I mean we was really trying to like do them like you know what I'm saying like we could have we were the 50 to

three of them boys if we could have but I didn't in teens I didn't we didn't had in the prior we would have like been up 17 points midway through the third and been like man let's let's get out of here with a win that's when you when you start thinking like because it's so easy to feel that way like you'm saying you up 20 points fourth quarter you Like, man, that shit over. I'm not ready to slide. No, the guys on the other side, they're tweaking down. Yeah, because in basketball, when you start playing like that,

I feel like that's when the other team get on your ass, bro. They don't have trying to play the clock. Yeah, just play the, let's win the game, bro. But I'd be feeling like in basketball, like, you get a big league. It's different because it's like almost like sometimes, like, they're not making shots. So, like, if they get off, you know what I mean? It's like, it's very rarely they're going to get hot again and get better.

They can get hot. It's easy to get hot. They can get hot. Especially if you start playing timid trying to hold the ball, plan not to lose instead of just playing the win and the other team get real aggressive. They made a couple shots. It turned the game run.

No. Well said. Listen, speaking to take care of business this weekend. Shout out to the Colts. Six and one, Indiana Jones, be here. What's the vibes like? They doubted my boys, man.

I kind of, I was nervous about the game, but I pulled it off, man. Good win for the, that was a big win for the guys. I said the coach couldn't be the team that was good. Guess what? It took place this weekend, 38 to 24. Road a clips, man. We got lots to talk about.

Yeah, and say he ain't an MVP conversation. Shout to Danny Dimes, man. I'm going to run. Yeah, real high. I'm just out of, I'm going to tell you. I'm going to leave it at that because I ain't snitching. Come on, man. He's really called this shit.

Respect. Number six of yards. I swear to God. Eight New York for game. Fourth of the completion. A rating at 105.9th. Coach got the best record in that field. Everybody like you now.

I'm the only one to set it. You will? I thought he was going to be trash, bro. I swear to God, a year of his life. He is. He is. He is. He is.

He is. He is. the coach is over. Everybody was like, hell no. Well, right here, let's go ahead and roll the clip from this weekend. The best running back of Coast history. Yeah, let's go. There we go.

His history. Yeah. Damn. Hey, hey. Edge was at the game, though. Respected O.G. Yeah. Shout to Edge.

That's different. He's very different, man. What year is this film? Oh, excuse me? I'm not doing that with you. I'm not doing that with you. Look at me. He's very different, man.

I'm saying, what year is this? I don't know. I'm saying, what year is this weekend? Yeah, you know the Vod. He got three games with three tuds. There's only two other people in the whole league that did it once. That's what's up. There's teams in the league that don't got three tuts in the game.

Yeah, what year is this film? His best year. That's what he was. It was like year five, six. No, we ain't got to do that. But speaking of it right now, he has 10 CDs combined who has 10 this year, some of the lead runnerbacks, probably all Hall of Famers, Derek Camry, CMC, tomorrow, and yeah, Sequin.

What is his year, though, for real? I believe this is five or six for my dog but listen Cole he should be in AVP conversations he's got to bro at this point this stats are under novel bro

year six come on man looking better to ever looking better than ever here you go try to kill people man nah he'll keep killing

he'll run it back fam it's over why you got to do that bro with him man why you got to do that he good he's a really good player Great, can we just focus on this shit?

Yeah, let everything else play out. I'm just saying coach fans soak it up. Yeah, with you, come on, Tee, come on, T. That's crazy. This shit, over. Tee, Tee, Tee, Tee. Hey, so my boys out here couldn't cover, though. Yeah, they say, working at the off season.

Hey, I ain't go, a lot. I'm Cleets. All right. What a PFF brain for that, see? Yeah. They still said I was with. Hey, PFF, man, if you listening, bro, let's just go to dinner, bro. I ain't a lot.

I want to piece it up, man. Like, bro, look, bro. Let's just piece it up, bro. Because I really feel like this is one of them years where, like, all other years, I had crazy stats. There's really one of them years. If you actually watched the game, if you really was on some analytics shit, I'm really playing probably some of my best ball.

But PFF just don't fuck with the boys. So it's like, this one of the years, they could actually come in handy. But they king out. But he and Louis was talking about it, man He watched you, he watched you in death He said he would really be everywhere And that play right there was like That show a lot, bro, I ain't gonna last a hell of a play

No, I appreciate that, my man And them cleats is fire though Hey, look Now see, this is the clip my son I was talking about last week when he Yeah, no, y'all, yeah, god damn. We want to talk about this. Now, respectfully

Honestly, I can't even put, I gotta go to court about this, bro. I got to go to court about this, bro. I got this, I'm going to, I got to peel this. You're appealing this? Yeah, they find me. What did you do? How much they fire you, bro? I don't want to add, boy, they thought

There's public knowledge. They found me 11 wrecks for that. What was you doing, though? What did you do? I got to go to trial about this, man. Did they throw the ball to him? I couldn't even see you.

Yeah, they threw it. I didn't even see the ball, but I'm not making up, like, yeah, health and well, he's doing some blessings to the car. Does he go to court? He's going to jail for life. I thought he had the home.

I'm sad. How are you thinking of that? I'm saying. No, I'm going to look at. That shit. me, bro, take the plea. Take the plea. Take the plea.

Oh, man. I see him. I thought he had the ball. That was a ball like you. No. First of all, I've been getting hate tweets for six weeks from the Chargers,

bro, and it's just kind of like game. Because of this podcast. Yes. Y'all get me all. But I didn't really think I said nothing crazy about Herbert, though.

You gave him a lot of respect. That's genuinely what, that's why I'm a little concerned because I'm like, damn, like, I might be a problem. because I thought I was being a good person. I don't think you said nothing bad about him. They hate him.

You said something bad about Juju. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just like, damn, I didn't really. I just, like, bro, my thing is, all I'm going to say is is just like when you're talking the top of the league, like some of these guys got certain stripes on a jacket that regardless of what injury week of the season is, you can never remember.

Lamar Jackson got two MVP. He got a unanimous MVP. Like Patrick Mahomes is like Probably the best of our generation Like you get what I'm saying Burrough been to like you know what I'm saying Like Josh Allen just got the MVP like And whether anybody like it or not

Jalen Hurts is a Super Bowl MVP bro He's whether anybody like that or not He got that stripe on his jacket So like certain things is just kind of like You didn't even say Matt Stafford I ain't allowed Stafford Stafford made us a better defense

No cap he's elite And I ain't gonna hold you And again, I'll be in L.A., so I really don't want no problems with nobody in L.A., but the Rams be tweaking Sofi better than the Chargers. Like, having gone there twice, which was weird, too. Like, we don't, that's probably rare. I don't know how many teams have played in SoFi against the Chargers and against the Rams. But it's, like, confusing.

Like, they really, they put us in different locker rooms. We came out a different tunnel. I was, like, fucked up the whole way. I'm like, have I been here?

I'm like, whoa. I'd appreciate that it was uppercase next time. So I was fucking, uh, Rico Kingses. Fuck it, let's crash out. What show? ABA how to take for this season?

What, it'd be a high take for this season that, uh, the Pacers are going to make the playoffs. The playing. Don't speak on my team. I'm just saying. Is it they playing? Yeah, they're going to make the playing.

No way. Like right now people go, I'm not making shit. They're going to make the playing. We top six in east. are they? Fuck no Top six You don't think they're going to make the play

It's going to be a decent team Top six is the east is At an all time low If they're number six I mean We love our two At our two Three best players

Bro We're gonna be tops Ever six We top six That's my hot take I'll take top six I respect bro Anybody else

Who the top teams in the east Boston They ain't got Jay They ain't got 10 No they're not top Is Nick Cav Caves I can't believe in the Cavs

Orlando Detroit Detroit I can't leave in the cabs, bro. They're going to be up there. The Celtics are still better than the fucking Pacers without Jason Tatum.

Are you, are you? Are y'all are cool? Yeah, yeah, they are now. We just said they weren't the top team. I do like Cade out there in Detroit. I forgot about him, but I do like Cade for sure. Easily. I said the Pacers are going to make the play in.

I ain't say. Sixers. Yeah. Sixers is healthy, bro. They're going to make the playing. If was a if. Yeah, if they're healthy, they, they, they... Y'all lived this year, Zee.

I got faith, bro. Y'all rocking with MZ and E Podcast, P. You know my hot take is, if Embed it's healthy up until I'll start break, they'll try to find somebody to take him off their hands. I can see that coming too. If he's healthy up to start the season, somebody who wants to buy stock and Joe and B, he's going to be gone. I don't think nobody wants to buy it.

And then, you think what they build around Maxie? Man, you get rid of B, you just figure it all out. You just blow it all up. If somebody willing to take that contract, you just... You got to. You know who a hot take. You know who will take it. Oh, yeah.

Charlotte, they'll go take that. They ain't got nobody to give them, but then. There's some teams who will take it with B. It's a crazy thing for me to think about Embed and go to say. That's a crazy thing for me to think. Yes, it is. Yeah, what are they going to get? They can't afford him.

And that's a hell of a gamble. They ain't about to step on that shit. He's too injury prone, bro. But y'all don't think, y'all don't think it's because they asked him to do so much. Like, if he went somewhere and he wasn't, like, asked to be a whole offense. He just got a bad body, bro.

He looks skinny, though. I've seen the video. He looked like, he actually lost. some weight. Yeah. I mean, bro, we just asked you to do a job.

He was good on the outside, the inside ain't worth a quarter. For real, bro. He's cooked. Somebody takes $60, 70 million contract.

You're a dope thing, bro. Yeah, bro. For real. It's over with. There ain't nobody doing that, bro. How old is he?

For real. Bro, he's 47. You got to know how the Americans what, man. Shout to the birth certificates. All right, man, listen, NBA is back

tonight. The Vives is high. Rockets and Thunder at 730. Yes, sir. J. is out. He's still, you know what I'm saying, healing from his wrist off-season after surgery. But what's going on?

Y'all see that Rockets line up? I think. Open the day line up, is that starting five crazy? I ain't a fan of not playing without a point guard. Okay. This is me. So for those who don't know, the Rocket's starting five is going to be in there in Thompson, Katie at the two, Tari Easton, say gone, and they're going to have Stephen Adams

at the five. Jabari Smith ain't started? Is it Jabari's sorry? Yeah. Oh, excuse, my pocket. The barry started, my pockets. That's a hell of a five. To the point guard 118.

I'm in Thompson right now. So I'm assuming that the OKC is starting, Chad, Hardinstein, probably. I imagine. That's probably why they went with that lineup. Yeah, I figured that first of the Stephen Adams line up because that didn't make sense, but they are playing those guys.

So, yeah. Are we feeling about that? I ain't mad at it. You got to see how it work. I don't see what's the problem. We need a point guard. Yeah, we got 82 games. We can try stuff out.

Need somebody to run the show. That's what I think. But I guess we'll see it would be interesting. I'm just happy basketball, but I ain't going to law. Yeah, y'all had to start on Tuesday when the NFL ain't on. Yes. God, man. Clear out.

Good for y'all, man. You're about to take over soon, bro. I think the world's better when basketball is on. Bro, everybody knows the NBA season don't start until February, bro. Right now, is this still preseason to me? You know how excited people are at basketball by the start? Y'all are the only people that, in my opinion, in my world, that even know basketball start today.

Don't know by y'all's in my whole world know that. Bro, people know that. See, there's people on your football team that you lined up and say hook with that's excited about basketball. Yeah, Mo, because he's a basketball player. Well, really? Respectfully, respectfully. That was his first love, bro.

He's excited for this game. That's usually all football players' first love was basketball. Thanks. I don't think so. They just were sad, so they had to play football. But the NBA season don't start. First of all, these rosters is like not even sex. It's the truth.

Y'all about the treat. Do you like basketball? No, I don't. I like watching. I like watching, but I don't, I never wanted to play basketball. You weren't good. All basketball players try to play football, God-day-a-Rox. I'm going to just.

Stick with the basketball I'm not going to do this with you But it's easy to play football For an athlete to go try to play football It's easier than to go try to play basketball Oh shit How you figure that to you? If I'm just an athlete

And you say, hey, let's go play basketball Let's go play football I can be somewhat effective playing football I'm talking about as a little kid Like we 16 We could say 14 13 We just athletes Like damn

You just fast you can jump high And I say let's go hoop You could be sad as fuck You might not You might not get on a court But if I say Hey, you'll be fast and run And I give you

I'm like we're gonna hand it off to you All you got to do is run right here And use your athleticism Shake them Do whatever you do Try to get to the touchdown He'd be effective But you can't say that

When y'all literally draft Yannis and all these other guys And bring them over And teach them basketball They literally couldn't do All they was was just 6-11 And was running And then y'all taught them

oh no this is how you put a post move together oh this is how y'all got people in the league that don't be good to year seven just because y'all still teaching in the game they don't be NBA ready it's a difference he's just talking about playing a sport in general though yeah not even at the top level that's why he has a leg out of adolescence

but I'm saying though like yeah is different because everybody also ain't six eight if I'm talking about at 13 13 if everybody just both parties is 5 team bro we 5 10 at the age of 13 I'm saying that's the football size range But I'm saying, like, once you get that growth spurt. No, I'm just saying.

That's what you're going to be here in game. The Big Take podcast from Bloomberg News dives deep into one big global business story every weekday. A shutdown means we don't get the data, but it also means for President Trump that there's no chance of bad news on the labor market.

What's behind Elon Musk's trillion-dollar payout? There's a sort of concerted effort to message that Musk is coming back. He's putting politics aside.

He's left the White House. And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't? CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things, whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure.

Hey, I'm Cal Penn, and on my new podcast, Here We Go Again,

we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself? You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movies, but I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like 15 seconds ago, a podcast host. Along the way, I've made some friends who are, experts in science, politics, and pop culture. And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like, are we heading towards another financial crash like in 08? Is non-monogamy

back in style? And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes early? We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lili Singh, and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really wrong.

I'm just to be more coordinated. I will, this is what I will say. I will say. We'll say that basketball is a more skilled sport. I hope myself to say that. But to just say that it's easier to play, not necessarily because I think y'all genuinely bring guys into the NBA who got coordination.

But y'all are really teaching these guys basketball. You can't, bro, you come to the NFL. I don't care how good your potential is. After one year, if you be in trash gang, you're on the clock. That's the league too, though. No. And the NBA, y'all got five seven. Y'all got guys who get extended and then it's finally like, yo, let's do something with it.

You better go look at all the, you better go look at the number of top five players. You know, y'all have different type of hustles against the league. Both of y'all, I'm not saying the guys like, but there's other guys that's in the NBA that I feel like get off off of aura, bro, like for real, like for several years, bro.

All right so what's Lucas supposed to do While Lebron is the expectation For him to still win Yes Yeah yeah it is This is your audition This is your squad Like

If you're gonna be the face of a franchise You got a show that you can carry a dolo But that ain't fair though Because Lebron takes up a lot of cap's face Yeah But he's still got more than enough bro Austin Reeves 18

No, bro, not to Rui's still there Rui still there And then Luka's a creator though He made up to win some games We got to see their opening schedule bro That's not

That's tough He got enough to win games And he's cold He's Luca bro You can win some games I ain't saying You got win that championship Without Brian

No, bro He's up so much Capspace bro They need like some Complementers Some real complimentary Players Austin Rear's a solid

He got Marcus smart He got Austin Reefs average 20 DeAndry A average 15 to 10 Bro you got Rui

How ever you say They got Dorian still or did he left? No, he's gone. He's going. You got a solid team around you, but I ain't saying you got the best team.

All right, so let's just say this then. So he got a chance to really be over 500 until Brown come back. Yes. That's not a lot to ask for it, though. Yes. It is, though. Y'all, I mean, that is over 500 without Brown.

Yeah, I mean, that is a lot of our team, bro. I'm saying 500, though? Yeah. If you who, we say you is, bro, you do? No. Ron take up a lot of our team, bro. I can't get a lot of our team, bro. I can't get no quality players.

He only take up a lot of teams, bro. Shit, that's Brian. It is what it is. Dog Connect season. What's up? Yeah, shout of the net. I love it. Brony.

Let my man. Let my head. All right. All right. Connect need a fresh start, bro. For real. Don't connect. Yeah, they got to move on.

He need a fresh door. Yeah, after Drey about to say, Dre ain't have to talk to him like that. He actually can hold. He needs a fresh dog. Y'all asked Luca to go over 500 with this squad right here. Oh, he can't. Brown ain't about that long. a DJ.

They do not video. Hey, why I wanted O-Lyman from the Chargers? He asked me, he said,

are you actually mean or are you actually a nice guy? You should have ran him over. I said, I'm a God-Fair man, my brother. You should have ran him over.

You should have hit him in the back. There, my, pause. You should have blind side him. Oh, all right. Shout to Lakers,

but. I'm feeling safe. You should have hit him in the back. That's what he about to say. That's what he about to say. That's what he about to say. I'm trying.

Oh, Both dick, that was crazy. No, I was about to say that, but then I ain't want to get my business. And Trump, I forgot he fighting the case. Bro, I got an open case again. Yeah, I was free me, bro. We're all right. For real.

All right. All right, this word team, what are we expecting, man? They had a hell of all season. Everybody locked in. They got the best. They got the young guy. First and foremost, what we expect from Kamiga tonight? What's he going to do?

Off the pond. Should it be, like, a really good six man for this team? Is that we expect for him to provide, like, death and energy for the squad? Yeah. Okay. Starters, we got Jimmy. guy Dray mom got Steph is this the big three that could go deep in the West this year I think he can yeah I think they got enough Jimmy not playing yet is he

or is he up yeah Jimmy playing yeah Jimmy should be fine yeah he definitely should be Kiminga one of the guys I'm talking about by the way I never really seen I don't think you teach him ball because he's not like yonness in him but like he's all I hear about him is his potential about who he's supposed to be you're talking about paying him max money and I've never actually seen him do these I'm not saying he a bad player and I ain't saying that he can't blossom in all that but he's one of the guys in my opinion who's living off of that potential and he on what year four

five six he average 15 yeah people do get drafted off he they talk about him getting max money though he got no he was talking about it he was talking about he was max money that was the problem he didn't get that's what a disconnect money that's when she got I'm saying the conversation around him supported it a little bit though at least from what I said he average 15 yeah he didn't want to say he was koal leonard yeah and DJ just called this nigga energy guy. So, this part is what he got to be, y'all the second year. He got a 10-6 man, bro.

Is that an updated picture? He got blonde here? Oh, he'd be on some other shit. He had one point. But at the end of the day, he's still average 15. He's a fact. He had a high hope. What years?

Oh, this is four of you? Yeah. He had high hopes for himself. Okay. But he was a 15 point. I mean, where you got? I mean, 15 points in the league. I'm not saying that's bad.

I'm not saying it's bad. I'm not saying, though. Special on that team. That's a, that's a. That's a. That's an assumption. The way he gets, Kamenga gets talked about a lot.

They talk about moving them people around and on that Warriors thing that warrior got championship aspirations. I'm just saying. Yeah. He didn't play a little bit around the down the stretch. He is a talent. He is a talent.

Yeah, he's a talent for sure. He's been to lead four years, Zee. But that's my point, though, Henney. Like, in the NFL, you got one year, my boy. That's a lot of them. He was always good, though. For sure. Like, he wasn't bad.

His first year, second year, he wasn't awful. He was a good player. But, like, if you go look at some of them guys that got drafted in that 20, What was the 22 class? He had the scene. The McDonald's All-American's. No, them in the league.

They all got drafted. They was the top five players in their class. Literally. They get wicked. And they all at home. All right, man, we'll say too for both of those games. We'll be back tomorrow with a recap. Hey, some people got paid yesterday.

Nice and Dale's, Atlanta Hawks, locked it in. Four year, a hundred. What's happening? How we feeling? 25 good? Good deal, for sure. Okay. I know he was looking at 115.

Oh, that's a difference. Yeah, he had the player, defensive guy. Four-year-25 is a really good situation for him as well. Lockdown, bro. Yeah. And he gets you 14 Locking that bread They mad at it

Yeah, I mean They could have Get my man A better pick though Respect Man Game photo Man

He was like a nigga From the home alone He got shocked With his head And he got shocked with his head What's okay The bandits Shout out of Christian

Brown He got paid to Five year 125 Yeah He's had a hell Of a situation In basketball He won in high school

One of Kansas Got a ring Now you're getting paid man $125 He won the best Transition players in the league, bro. He'd get out and run, bro.

Yeah. He got a solid career so far. He'll get you $1.25. I'm trying to touch. I'm playing. Fuck it. I can play. He didn't have a skill, bro.

Oh, my God. Eranesia got paid to city $1.25. Aaronis who got paid two-year, $40 million extension. That's my young boy, man. I played with him for him. Keep him in that. I was on the same team with him in Boston. Yes, sir.

Me, that was my young guy used to kill him in one-on-one. I'm happy for you, boy. Hey. He did get some Knicks, man. He deserved it all. Shout out. for sure. All right, Moop.

DeVille got a new PG from the G League. Good night, baby. Jop to London Johnson. I ain't like it at first, bro, but I'm kind of rolling with this. Yes.

Because they do it overseas. They all play EuroLeague, make a lot of money, and then they come over here. Some don't go to college. Someone go to the league. But they're doing the same thing. So why we can't do it.

Talk about it. And you get paid in college now, so it ain't like. Yeah, it don't even matter. No matter. Like. College of New G League. Yeah, I feel like

if you try to go pro, you should be able to go back college if you're going to get drafted. Everybody get paid. And I just feel like the foreigners had a advantage, bro. They was already playing pro. That's why they're getting better than everybody. Well, do it need to be an age limit then?

The thing that they should do is what they won't do is just go ahead and lift a gap for it. Like, if you're good enough for high school to go to the league, you should go straight there. Because it only applies to a very, very small percentage of amount of people that you can get rid of this other stuff, bro. Because deal ignite imploded, it didn't work out the way they wanted to go. Kids going to college getting

paid, bro, lift it. It's a couple people will apply. too. That's only problems a lot of people will try to go to the league. That young boy, AJ or BYU? Like, he shouldn't be playing college basketball. He looked like he ready. What I'm saying?

If they do that, force their hand. If they let you go out of high school, they should let you go to college if you don't get drafted. Thanks. It shouldn't just be like, whoop, you can't get picked?

It's over. No, you should be able to still go. What if he don't kill this year, though? Who is dude? Yes. I mean, that's on him. AJ?

London Johnson. He's not playing this year. He's not. He's not he got to sell the rest of this year. then he'll play next year, he'll be eligible. So he's going to play when he's 22? Yeah, come kill. That's crazy.

I mean, you got NIL. You got people 25. I was about to say it's people 29. I don't like them either, but basketball a little different, though. Well, you still are more developed, but. It's people 29. It ain't old niggas and football, it is. No, it's a, it was a tight end who was going on his eighth year.

He was 25. I was about to say, he's all right of football, for sure. He was still weak. That's why our boy was ahead of his time. He's all the people who didn't get extensions. With the Bishop Sycamore. Shout to Bishop Sycamore. Shout to Bishop.

We did interview. Here's some notable names. We did not get the rookie max extension. We'll see what happens with them. Jaden Ivy, Benedict Mather and Jeremy Sackran, as well. Jalen Duren, we talked about him yesterday. Mark Williams with the sons, Tari Easton. We'll see what happens.

Daly and Terry with the Bulls, Walker Kessel, which is a surprising one. And then Peyton Watson. I wonder how that feels for Payton Watson, seeing Christian Braun get paid. I mean, that's his way. I ain't no pocket watch yourself, but you know, you're in the same position in that situation,

to see what happens. He's a starter. Fair enough. Well said. But look at the people who got paid. P5. Yeah, five-year-239, Chad Holcomb, five-year-214. Kigin-Murie, and he hit a finesse.

That's quiet as kept. Five-year-140, 140, King and Murray hit a lick. Yeah, his corner. See, Shave for the Kings. He got, he got it. He's playing up. He got it. Shout out of his agent.

Because we're talking about Dyson and Day. We talked about people who had Aaron E-Smith moments and accolades. King of Murray did none of that. I got more money to my age, way better than yours. Don't go. Get that money. Nobody want to be in sacrificial. I shouldn't say that.

I mean, it's people that probably want to go, but they got to pay people to beat her. What's so bad with Sack, though? I don't know. I'm just saying. They give niggins 140 that barely play. Shit. Yeah.

That's crazy, bro. Not Utah. God to Kagan, though. Get that money. Make it your home. I think Keegan probably is about 12, 13. I think it was like 14, 15. So that's why I commingo like, bro.

That's why the old dudes be mad. Go to Sacramento, bro. He was trying. They was trying to get him in. Yeah. That's crazy. 12, 12, 6, 44, 44 for 3. Clean up, Lyskiy.
