Also, we got the album America's Uncle Dad. Anyway, good to have you, Sean. Thank you so much for joining us again for this third time. Thanks for having me on in advance of a huge play-in play-in game tonight with the Warriors and Lakers. As we record this.

Where it probably hosts the 9-10 game. Yeah. I guess the Lakers could Winner probably hosts the 9-10 game. I guess the Lakers could come in 8th place, though. Yeah, potentially. It's possible. It's been very frustrating to be cheering for the Lakers on your guys' behalf because

it seems like they keep winning and then they just stay in the 9th spot. Yeah. Very frustrating. It's very frustrating. It must be frustrating for you. It is. I will say I don't have a lot of high expectations

for the Warriors taking care of business at any point in the season. I think probably the best outcome for them would be to draw the Sacramento Kings in the 10-9 game. I would say that's probably better for them. And, I mean, obviously you want to not be in the 9-10 at all, but I think that ship has sailed quite some time ago.

Yeah. For the Warriors, at least. But yeah, currently Warriors three games back from the Suns. Yeah. So the dubs right now um again by the time you all hear this episode the final matchup between my lakers and sean's dubs uh will have taken place if the lakers won they will have all but guaranteed the warriors wind up in the 10 seat in the plan um but overall i know like you just said you don't expect them to tcb um what are you expecting from this aging group of warrior players so uh i'm assuming that

draymond green was ejected for uh poking anthony davis in the eye multiple times during Tuesday's loss to LA. Three Stooges style. Yeah. And they've gotten to a point of real false hope right now where they're kind of like, well, this is okay. We've been beating a lot of teams that have quit trying or are arresting guys.

This is okay. And there's even been this rumor that Klay Thompson's going to be out of the price range, which I'm pretty sure is a rumor guys this is okay right and there's even been this rumor that um clay thompson's gonna be out of the magic range which i'm pretty sure is a rumor started by clay thompson's agent yeah i was gonna i was gonna ask you about the clay of it all because i saw those rumors too and like the athletic was like it's the worst kept secret in the nba but the magic want him you're like oh really it is it yeah it doesn't really seem like the Magic do want him, honestly.

That's why it's a badly kept secret by Clay's team. I love Clay Thompson. I'm not trying to be down on him or anything, but this is a situation where I kind of feel like the Warriors are going to do whatever other business they

can do, and then Clay will be offered what's left over. Yeah, like they're going to give him the amount of money that lets them stay out of the tax, basically. And I kind of think that was, I guess he got an extension

offer for like two for 50 or something last year. Something still fairly generous for the kind of one-way player he is at this point in his career but i don't really think he's actually gonna leave yeah i just don't it's a weird time for it to come out but i don't really understand how nba agents do business anyway so maybe maybe this is the perfect time for this story to come out. He got caught against the Jazz, okay? He got caught against

the Jazz in the most recent game, so I don't know what you're talking about. First option play right there. Boom. He did have a couple shots that made me remember the times. He was one of the first players we talked about when we started this podcast, just him being one of the most fun people to see when we started this podcast, just him being one of the most fun people

to see when he goes unconscious and is just out of his mind. Against the Jazz, he was doing that thing where he shoots it and doesn't even leave it up. It doesn't even look like a shot. He just kind of flicks it at the rim and turns around because he knows what's going in. He was showing signs

of that. Maybe this is he was just toying with us all season. What do you think? I mean, the thing that I guess you can credit him for a lot is he has been playing a lot. He'll play a lot of minutes. And a lot of the games, it's not like the Warriors have all these other offensive options

that he's taking touches away from either. So it can be frustrating when he uh uh starts heat checking when he's not actually hot to begin with right uh you know i was a real heat check uh confidence guy just never made the shots but right oh the confidence was there you know he's unconscious out there because he literally doesn't isn't aware of anything that's happening around him yeah i mean i was just looking at like for being 34 years old and having back-to-back achilles and acl tears he's played a lot like more than you would expect so there's i mean that's he's got that going for him at least yeah i mean he's still he's still in pretty good shape uh yeah but it's it's just that a lot of it's just basically like

watching this team all these guys can basically hit their top gear again just not at the same time or like for three games not consistently yeah it's just they're old. You can't really have quite the same expectations. I do think if they'd had, if Draymond Gray had not managed to get himself ejected from, I think he's been ejected from four games and suspended from 17. And I do think the Warriors might have a stranglehold on 8th place without that happening it's not like I think they would be a

contender just a little bit slightly more comfortable or he would have actually killed a guy if he hadn't been suspended and he would have missed even more games and be in prison right now I don't know he could have gone either way with a lot of the things that happened

this season. Doesn't it feel like the Lakers have been playing really well, though? Yeah, yeah. Davis doesn't get poked in the eye to have to leave? That's great, and Darvin Ham has learned that he can look at the numbers that indicate that playing Torian Prince

all the time is actually not good for the team and playing rui instead is good so those basic skills of analysis have crept in so i'm i'm grateful for that um long may that last i i've been tricked the same way darvin ham has with with i think i've just never really been a point in my life before this year where i was watching torian prince a lot and i just always had this idea that he's a great six man. He can do it all. He's like 3 and D.

It's kind of like he's like a six in a lot of categories it feels like. He's pretty frustrating to watch even as someone who's not supporting the Lakers. They know they've got a lot of other guys that could be out there.

Right. Yeah. And are Laker fans most frustrated by Torian Prince playing and Max Christie sitting all the time? Is it more just Torian Prince? It's mostly Torian. It's more like the why isn't Rui playing more kind of thing. That's always around the group of freaks.

I scream out into my phone every time the Lakers play. But one last question on the Warriors before we go to break is, is from your perspective, I know you said, we'll see what they do. Is this it? You think, is this it for Steph,

Dre and Clay? Like, what do we, it is, what do we, where, where do you go from here? If it is,

or is this, it's very, it's going to be like, if it is? Or is this... I mean, it's very... It's going to be like... If they lose the first playing game... It's weird, because I... Their economic model is so weird based on all the other stuff they do with the vaccine and everything.

I think Clay's coming back probably like 90%, and Draymond's not going anywhere. But I think their priority is going to be to get under the luxury tax and we will see how that happens. That's not usually a way that you're going to keep stepping on the gas

pedal. Right. I mean, they might do something creative with Chris Paul or see what they could get for Wiggins, but I actually kind of think they're going to mostly just run it back after the season, which is not really a contender move, but

maybe they just don't want to be bad. Right, right, right. I think also they don't want to pay $100 million in luxury tax to come in nine, which also might be a path. Not the best look. Alright, let's

take a quick break and come back and we'll take a look around the league. Alright, here we go. It's Cam Jordan from New Orleans Saints. Here to tell you it's going down.

in front of Milwaukee. Just because math dictates that that's going to happen. It's looking good for the Celtics to have home court, at least through the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics have clinched everything. They've clinched the one seed for

this season and next season somehow. They're just like, yeah, we might as well just give it to you guys. Can we put like 10 of the games towards next season? Is that how that works? But yeah, the Bucs are having trouble to the point that they are only one game up on Orlando. Orlando might end up in the two seed. The way things are looking, there,

there are some wild stats about just like what, what's going on with the bucks. Mainly, obviously the theory that we all have on our end is that it's their travel team, the team behind their travel manager, the equipment manager and the bus driver lack professionalism um but they've lost four straight only hold a single game lead in the last column over the magic and nicks at the time of this recording on the other side of the coin uh the

hottest teams in the league would have to be the mavs um i think probably the game of the week, maybe the past couple weeks, was their comeback win that eliminated the Rockets from playoff contention, where Kyrie and Luka combined for 85 points, came back from 22 down. And again, I mean, we always talk about Kyrie and Luka have that je ne sais quoi shot-making ability where they're just making um you know things

that look impossible kairi obviously also has maybe the best handle in the history of the league uh and was just doing things to dylan brooks that made me made me very happy it was poetic it felt like choreographed when he had the ball at the top of the key and it was like, Hey, clear out, bro. Just, just like Kyrie twist this dude up like a dreadlock. Like, let's go,

let's see it all happen. Um, I, you know, playing with this food. Yeah. We're playing with his meat as Doc Rivers. Yes.

Um, yeah, I was, I've seen so many like tweets and like headlines are like, are the Mavs like the sleeper, like the deadliest sleeper in these postseason i'm like i think most people are aware of how good they've looked and the west is just so wide like the west is so too wide stacked yeah like when we talk like that's

the thing with the lakers like any other season i'd be like man the lakers are like coming on lebron is playing well they're eight and two over the last 10 um lebron looks like he might be able to take it up a gear but like who's he gonna pass who are they gonna be like who are they gonna beat in the playoffs denver like minnesota i don't think so um i mean minnesota they might have a chance, but... The 60s is going to have 50 wins. Yeah. Right. Yeah, the 60s is going to have 50 wins. Exactly. The Mavs look really tough.

And yeah, I would be surprised if they didn't make some noise in the playoffs. But of course, they're going against the Clippers, who are also starting to round back into shape. I feel like they've got one three in a row at the time of this recording. So, I don't know. The weird thing... People are going to be like, nah, you're imagining things. James Harden is looking

not that good at the wrong time of the season. Heading into the playoffs. That's not the James I know as a Sixers fan. That's not the james i know as a sixers fan that's not james that i know james hard so big game james james hard hard hard you're talking about jimmy another hot team speaking of which uh the 76ers uh have won five in a row since mb came back um and you know he's mb has been used sparingly and is just like kind of playing himself back into shape not in the sense that like he let himself

go when he was injured but in the sense of he has one of the biggest human bodies in the history of uh the species of bodies like he's just like just like big boned and also seven foot two like he just when he accidentally like hit someone with his hand like i feel like there's probably a time when he you know how like i'm a clumsy person i'll accidentally like knock a cup off a table yeah where he's like done that to a wall and his hand has just like gone through a wall right like he's just sorry and he's strong but like he needs to like build his strength and stamina back up to move his body around yeah yeah that whole body um yeah that whole body yeah his yeah his i don't know why his ligaments aren't constantly

tearing right even more than they normally are because it's like i think that's the question everybody just change direction with that body going that far like speed at the peak of his like when he came into the league like into you know had a couple seasons of good health everyone's like well it's only a matter of time until, you know, I mean, like obviously this, uh, shoot off. Right. This will be the first time that he has been going into the playoffs,

like as well rested as he is. So there's always a chance that this is a really good experiment for the Sixers. Maybe, maybe this is just what we do. We shut them down for, uh, the middle,

the, you know, uh, everything except the last 10 games of the season and just watch them get into shape. I would guess they're not really that afraid to play the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round either. That would be something.

I would be, I'm afraid of the Milwaukee Bucks just because I think Giannis is extremely motivated to get out of the first round bucks just because i think janice is extremely motivated to uh get out of the first round i would say um but uh i don't know that so obviously mavericks rockets was one of the games of the week six or spurs i don't think anybody was necessarily checking for that one at first but it was a double ot victory and b didn't play uh maxi did and dropped 52 yeah seven assists five rebounds um and then of course wemby uh which wemby season

is coming to an end he put up 33 18 seven blocks six assists i don't i don't know what to say. He had that scoop dunk where he just went by somebody and was holding the ball down by his knee and then just scooped it up and dunked it real quick in a way that the ball is moving. It's just so strange. How do you do that? So surreal to watch. It looks like he's winding up to bowl it left

handed yes he's like bringing it back and he's like yeah you know what just dunk it there you go yeah bye but i don't know i continue to think he should get a very serious look at defensive player of the year even though the spurs are uh bad defensively as a team. Sure. They are way better with him on the court than they are without him. Right. And also, this blocking stat, among players who have contested 300 shots or more, Wemby blocks around 40% of all contested shots. The next best is Gafford and walker kessler at 23 percent

the yes the 40 percent everybody knows that who is going against him right he is just responsible for the most like i don't know uh looper blocks i guess like just blocks that like don't happen like just don't exist because he's gone in like into the past and like yeah put put the fear of god in the shooter so that they're just like i'm not gonna what are you kidding right like 40 of the shots he can test um it's like that was the thing that would like i was saying, I thought he was a Defensive Player of the Year candidate back in the summer. It was because during the Summer League when he would be anywhere on one side of the court all the shots were either wild misses or people

weren't taking them. Or getting angry and they were passing the ball to them. They're like, hey man, no. I'm not going to do that. Please. Yeah. So, I don't know. It's I think he should get a better look. I think Gobert is going to win. And I think people are like, yeah, he's going to win

because somebody deserves to win before Wemby wins the next dozen in a row. I don't know. Imagine how good that press conference would be if Rudy Gobert comes in second, though. It might tank Minnesota's playoff chances, honestly.

Right. Yeah. So sad. So, um, yeah, those, those French tears would be,

God, I mean, I imagine like, and losing it to another Frenchman. Like, I feel like he's like, but it was supposed to be me. Like, I can't imagine what that would be like, I feel like he's like, but it was supposed to be me. Like, I can't imagine what that would be like.

I feel like he's always been cool to Wemby, though. Like, the one person he's always been cool to. But I know, but obviously he has, yeah. He's got an emotion. I think they're kind of far enough apart in age that Wemby's not really like, he's like a little brother, even though he's. Yeah, yeah. Even though, yeah, when they stand side by side, he's like, it is you who is the little brother. yeah even though yeah when they stand side by side he's like it is you who is the little brother but yeah there's been there's been some fun reporting on wimby and like how the season

has gone and just how good his work ethic is and his competitive instinct and all that stuff and the spurs have gone four and three over the last seven including wins over the pelican sons nicks and warriors he seems to be getting better and better as the season goes along which is wild and i'm just very very excited to see next season we were all so excited to watch him this season right um so for him to have like exceeded expectations is wild yeah it's unbelievable but i think he totally has exceeded expectations in the sense that some of the things that he does are not things I could have

imagined happening on a basketball court until I saw them. A scoop dunk doesn't make sense. Or like an animated comedy about basketball. That's the monster dunk. Remember his first summer league game, too.

He kind of looked a little awkward, and I think people just had this idea because of what his body looks like, that he's going to be kind of awkward. He's going to look kind of gangly. I think he was just sort of tired from, you know, playing in the French finals, like two weeks before Summer League.

And now it's like, oh, he was just warming up. Now he's very smooth. He doesn't look like at all brittle or that he's going to get pushed around at all. No, he looks very bendy and flexible.

My dad was old head saying that he really the way he moves reminds him of uh kareem abdul-jabbar like he's like bendy the way he runs is like kareem and kareem like that was the thing that everybody talked about like was how kareem was just like you know super flexible was the first person that i had ever heard of doing yoga right and like wimpy seems to have that like so i don't know yeah i mean he said as much he's physically trying to model himself after kareem for that kind of longevity because he knows you know what what can happen when you're that long i think it's most a nutritionist

or something too. Yeah. He's been basically since he was eight years old, been trying to eat a future NBA player diet basically. Right. Yeah. Oh man. If I found out what that was at eight years old,

I would beg my parents to be like, I need that. I need the NBA meal, mom, please, please. And then I would have eaten it for three days and been like, I don't want to do that anymore. This tastes like yardippings you're right mom my arms may be long but my legs

are way too short you're right you're right i'm not made for it i thought the wingspan thing would make up for it it won't back in back in my pa days i i met somebody who had worked crew for uh thunderstruck the kevin durant movie where he and an 11-year-old boy in Oklahoma City trade basketball powers. Apparently, Katie's agent just had this list of dietary things that he had to

eat on the set, and craft services were like, well, so everybody's eating this. I'm not making bread. Apparently, the whole crew was in the best shape of their lives after that shoot because they were only it was all just like normally services is like candy and soda and there it was like green juice high protein right right yeah cold pressed pineapple juice i get it right pineapple juice are you kidding me with the sugar content of that one? Oh, yeah, my bestie.

Pineapple juice with the sugar removed somehow? Somehow, yeah, distilled out. It's distilled pineapple juice. We've left the sugar behind. It was just theorizing. Yeah, for real. Also, it's just funny. Malachi Flynn of the Detroit Pistons scored 50 points

off the bench. I'm sorry. Are you surprised? Uh, yes. Wait. Completely. Completely. Weird.

Because. Weird that you weren't, didn't see that one coming. I just like the, this is, this is where I'm, I want to posit to the, to you both. His response, right? When they said, you dropped, you dropped drop you dropped a half century on him what's going on 50 piece for real and he said quote i don't think it's a fluke in any way now i get you have to be confident and i respect i respect the confidence but there's something about him saying that that makes it a little bit like bro you come on just say i don't know man sometimes you have a

great like i i don't know why i'm like i would have preferred if he just was a little more humble about it yeah but hey whatever you got 50 in a loss you don't get into the nba uh being humble but that's true i don't know i guess it's it's it like it rubs me it's irritating to me when someone's like yeah man i did that it's like i know i know you did i know you did anybody's been paying attention to malachi flynn isn't surprised by this outburst i'll tell you that much exactly malachi flynn the real heads know malachi flynn was just waiting oh yeah i'm gonna put your ear to the street the street's been saying my name you can't you can't malachi of course, plural for Malicus. Yes. A little octopus joke for everybody.

Yes, yes, yes. I think he might be the least acclaimed NBA player to ever put up 50 in a game. So there was the Tony Delk one, but Tony Delk won the NCAA title before he did. But that's one that always pops up where people are like, well, I mean, yeah, he scored 50,

but so did Tony Delk. Uh, but like, you know, he was coming off the bench. Corey Brewer, uh, super producer Jabari mentioned another one who Corey Brewer's game was like,

so often just like getting behind the defense and like, uh, getting open layups. Uh, yeah, but he, uh, put up 50 one time. Brandon Jennings did it to the Warriors, and I think something like the seventh game of his career,

and then just never reached those heights again. Yeah. But he always looked capable of it. Yeah, he was a bucket, even though he never really put it together again after that. I do want to just mention, because the man who was Wembingama for me before Wembingama, Zion Williamson. Miles, I'm sure you remember when we started TDZ. I would annoy everybody by making them watch Zion blocks from college.

annoy everybody by making them watch like zion blocks from like college and uh just like zion jumping uh in a way that didn't make sense he broke his shoe i know he broke his shoe so he's back to like he had five blocks against the suns that each one was just violent and like him jumping out of nowhere like a magic trick uh that was really a lot of fun um the you know the pelicans are are have the same record as the suns um so they're either seven or six seed depending on how the next few games go uh but they they look they're looking good and he looks awesome yeah because they're not kind of like the wemby one where at wemby's like you will not shoot around my hand right like zion's swatting them you know what i mean like to your point that's then those like those are kind of the fun ones to watch and you're like oh get that out as we used to say yeah as we used to

say we would swat people when i was playing basketball in human form and not with a controller get that out of my gym yeah i would remove this ball from my immediate area not in my house i would say to them who would you say that to? Just people. Anybody who attempted a shot or, yeah, who tried to walk into my house. You were playing basketball? No. I would just say it randomly at Kroger and stuff.

Not in my house. What? All right. Here, ring me up for a three-piece tender meal. All right. And Brandon Ingram has been cleared for, uh, they're missing him. Yeah.

Yeah. This was always a thing. It's like, can they stay healthy? Cause if they do, then we might see something interesting. And then when Ingy went down, I was like,

Bingy, no, please. Yeah. They need you. I'm, I'm really looking forward to them. I really hope they're able to put something together because I feel like we've been waiting for a nice, a good, a decent Pelicans performance.

Oh, those are the Lakers fan, man. You guys got to be just looking for any candidate to slide by you. Hey, man. It doesn't matter. We'll handle anybody. You know what I mean? That's right. So I like to encourage them.

I like to know that when we defeat you, we defeated the best version of you. But also, hey, man, if you want to both sit out, that's fine with me, too. That's fine with me, too. Zion, you know what I mean? Just take her easy. Don't break your shoe. Take her easy. She's my lady, and that's what I...

Hey. Hey, maybe that's... Nope. Nope. Okay. No, all right. Never mind. All right.

Let's take a quick break break and we'll come back and play the fastest segment in podcasting we'll be right back all right here we go it's cam jordan from new orleans saints here to tell you it's going down on season two of my podcast off the edge with me, Cam Jordan.

And we're back. And we're back. It's time for the fourth quarter. Time for the Rappifier. Pearl Jam. But first, a little bit of Rappifier. Rappifier out of questioning. Sean, can you have enter the fastest question and answer segment in all of sports podcasting history?

We're going to ask you a question. You've already done this before. Just respond quickly. Don't give extended answers or we will be very, very rude to you. Okay? It is what it is. So don't be surprised. Crack your knuckles.

Crack your neck bones. Whatever you got to do, because it's time. Brian, start the clock! Oh, my gosh. Brian's not here today, so you did have to shout it that loud. Yeah, I had to shout loud enough that he could hear me in Mexico. I had to. And I don't know if he did, but my neighbor certainly did because they just texted

me and said, knock it off or I'm going to call the police. Okay. Whatever. They're haters. Anyway, rapid fire round. That's where we started. See, you're getting me off my game. Sean, here we go. Jack, you want to go first? Should I go first? How do you want to do this? I would love to go first, Miles. Thank you so much for asking.

Okay. Hey, Sean. Sean. Sorry. I'm'm trying that was a little aggressive all right so last five nba finals by regular season record so we're all i think assuming okay it's going to be the nugget it's going to be the celtics um last five nba finals by regular season record uh last year was the two-seed Nuggets versus the seven-seed Heat. Year before, three-seed Warriors versus two-seed Celtics. Bucks, three-seed

Suns, two-seed. Before that, Lakers, one-seed. Heat, five-seed. It hasn't been as predictable as everybody expected heading into the playoffs the playoffs give me your dark horse who is coming out of either the east or west from below the two seed let's say so it's got to be three or lower three or lower okay so if it's three or lower in the west, uh, I feel crazy saying this, but I think the Clippers,

I think if those guys actually don't get hurt, they're, uh, they're a tough, uh, seven game series out. Uh, yeah,

I just, I just think, yeah, I mean, obviously one of those guys could really get hurt. Oh, right. Sure.

Uh, and then in the, in the East, I'm going with, i just don't i think the knicks are a little too hurt or i would love to choose them in this yeah i'm going with the philadelphia the i like you're acting as if sean's god well one of my favorite things is that Kelly Oubre is in this situation where they need him

to be a gunner and he is he's a three point shooter now he's shaking off the bike injury shooter shoot he had that game that last game when Maxie had 52 Kelly Oubre shot the ball 22 times

and it's like he could have been shooting more. It just feels like he's never been this comfortable since he was the sixth man for the Wizards back in the day. It also seems like Philadelphia loves him.

Sean, you're a really interesting guy. And deservedly so. You pick Jack Sixers in the East, and then you pick the Clippers in the West, huh? Wow. Real interesting. I just don't think Anthony Davis is going to be able to see the basket by the time

he's not going to wear those goggles. No! Sean has ordained it. You know what's going to happen. I hate this. Sean, next question. What's more likely to happen and why? A Heat finals run or a Warriors finals run? Boy, it's a Heat finals run because the West is really good

and the East has its strengths and weaknesses. I would say that the Eastern Conference has a lot of teams with wonderful personalities. Yeah. You hear that a lot. And we're like, oh, he's really original. He's a really nice guy. And you're like, oh, he's not really that funny.

He doesn't really do that well. Right. That's how I feel about the Indiana Pacers. Like, really fun to watch and, like, a delightful team. Not really the kind of team that has ever tended to have success in the NBA playoffs. No. All right. Sean, you can go back in time and pick success in the NBA playoffs. No. All right.

Sean, you can go back in time and pick any of the following games to personally witness. It's Game 82 in 2016, where the Dubs set the all-time regular season record. Game 3 of the 07 Semis, where the Warriors defeat the Jazz, Barron's dunk on Karolingco um or young steps 54 in the garden uh i think i'm going to that utah jazz game yeah the the garden would be cool but you know i kind of miss the warriors old arena too um yeah and also just the total weirdness of seeing that moment, getting excited. They replay it like eight times.

And then after like the sixth replay, you're like, is Baron wearing a girdle? Like what is around it? When he lifts up his jersey, he has some elaborate orthopedic thing that he's wearing underneath there. And I think that the combination of like awe and excitement. And then, you know, want the nba to have a little mystery like that you know is he wearing spanks you know he invented them yeah i mean he was a great businessman obviously you know i he he actually spoke to like a class i was taking once in college uh because he knew the professor from like when he was going to crossroads high school

and he was like giving us like weird business and we're like we're all broke students we're like okay dude what i'm gonna do with this it's very strange that baron davis went to cross so it's real not in los angeles that is like a performing arts high school where i believe the final uh exam every year was you would show run uh like a month of veronica's closet that's that you had to graduate so yeah a lot of a lot of uh showbiz people come out oh my god has produced some movies yeah yeah i mean like like maya rudolph went there you know as uh put in the chat we could kate hudson this is like we're all Jonah Hill. Basically all of Hollywood's children. Jonah Hill was discovered there.

Basically Jonah Hill was like the funniest kid in some producer's son's class. And they were like, alright, well, make him a movie star. He was like, Dad, you gotta put him in I Heart Huckabees. And he's like, okay, fine.

Here's the other thing I gotta ask you you're in the bay area yeah area san francisco oakland area please tell somebody they're in there they're in your area the yay area for one weekend what are three spots they need to hit be it restaurant bar or attraction oh that's a really good question okay um so I would say that if you like hiking, you want to hit Redwood Regional Park in Oakland. It's beautiful. It's great. I really like the restaurant

Burma Superstar at the edge of the Richmond District. I like Burma Superstar. I think you want to go to... I really like this place, Flower and Water, that opened up by my old apartment in San Francisco. And when it opened and was successful, I realized that I was

going to get evicted soon. My rent was going to go up because the restaurant was far too good to be like a block away from my crappy apartment. Oh, no. There you go. You got to go if you're there on a weekend um you gotta really just uh

i mean first first of all wear a sweatshirt because otherwise you're gonna end up wearing um like a tourist sweatshirt with the golden gate bridge and puffy paint because that's what happens in july in san francisco when it's so cold in the summer. Go to Zeitgeist. Zeitgeist is a great outdoor beer garden and great Bloody Marys and good mixed drinks. It's just a great little situation.

I'll have to put that on my list. Sponsored by our show. Listen to the Daily Zeitgeist. Thank you, Sean. And finally, Universal Studios has reached out to you and they've asked for your help. You have to cast an upcoming buddy cop film. The catch is that it has to be cast

with two NBA teammates, current or past, to be the lead buddy cop duo. Who are you going with as the lead buddy cop duo, who are you going with as the lead buddy cop duo in your action comedy? So, I really feel like Tobias Harris

showed some acting chops and hustle, but I think seeing him in a movie would just kind of bum me out a little too much. And so, I have two possibilities one is Tyler Hero and Jimmy Butler just a classic

lethal weapon rush hour like cross racial one guy's cool one guy's kind of a dork and then I would also, I think there would be something incredible about a Russell Westbrook Kawhwhi Leonard pairing, where just one character in this buddy cop film does not speak.

Right. And only laugh. All his lines are one syllable. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It just does the laugh. You're like, ooh, you're in trouble, bro.

You're in trouble. Oh, man. Well, Sean Keen, thank you so much for playing with us and being on the show.
