Guess what? Only 13 NBA teams have ever come back from a 3-1 death. Well, well, well. Look who's justifying irrationally. Good thing LeBron James knows a thing or two about that, which is significant because outside of the two sweeps by the top seeds and recording we've got three one matchups all around and we'll touch on each of those and plenty more with comedian Blake Wexler on today's episode I'm Miles Gray and I'm Jack O'Brien and this is...Miles and Jack are mad boosties!

Just like Bob used to It's great to see you guys. Thank you for having me. Wait, what sport has four 15-minute quarters? Miles don't worry about it miles. This is Croquet I read that right I said I said croquet. I said croquet. I said croquet. Yeah. Croquet real good. It's a well, how's everybody feeling about the NBA? Blake, how do this is, this is a nice, this is a nice, we're free. Like starting on day one of the playoffs were free. We don't have to. We don't have to suffer through a 76ers, you know, playoff run. Unburdened. Yeah. If you call a four to first round loss a run, then yeah, no,

you don't have to sit through that at all. It's it's relaxing. Sometimes they'd even go to the second round, which was always rude. Yeah, rude. Yeah. It was rude to their fans. And yeah, yeah, it was like a guest overstaying their welcome. Are you watching it being like, yes, low stakes or I mean, well, how are you even watching it? Do you just casually watching? I'm going to say something terrible. I'm pulling for the

Warriors. That's where my life's at, where I think there's something about watching old people have one final last hurrah. That is like it's like comfort food at this point, just like I know there's certain junk food that's not good for me, but it's from an era where I felt more safe, you know, or like, oh, like millennials are like nostalgic for the 90s. That's exactly what's happening right now. It's like, yeah, yeah you know, or like that's kind of. Oh, like how millennials are like nostalgic for the 90s. That's exactly what's happening right now. It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I like this.

Yeah, it's like, bring that back. What are the 2000s Pistons doing? Did we get a Ben Wallace? Space Cowboys reference. I was gonna say, I was also gonna say Space Cowboys. Space Cowboys, Brian the editor also in the chat, simultaneous Space Cowboys references, just one last ride. Also Blake sticks a P in the middle of comfort.

He says, comfort. Comfort. Comfort. Wow, I guess I did. Oh, that's concerning. I like it. I did that. Spell the word, Blake.

C-O-M-P-P-H-M-U-R-T. Comfort. Okay, no notes for me. News from around the league, man. Dame, Damien Lillard, wrapped his Achilles. That wasn't like the first quarter, wasn't it? Just right back and then you're right off at...

Yeah. Bummer. It feels terrible. Terrible. It does immediately, like it feels like Giannis being out of Milwaukee is like a foregone conclusion at this point. So just how bad they've looked in the first round in general and like how kind of without a chance they like that series has really seemed heavily to favor the Pacers and the

Pacers have just looked like a better team pretty consistently has actually been, as somebody who roots for the league against the Celtics, has been exciting to me because I do feel like Giannis is going somewhere that is going to be hard for the Celtics to deal with. Like all the rumors are- Next to poor Zengis? Yeah. Or is that going to be hard for the Celtics to deal with. Like all the rumors are next to poor Zinkus. I mean, Blake, don't you dare. I would, I would never. The rumors have been Thunder, which would be too much. I don't want them to go to the Thunder. But the Knicks and the Rockets are the two teams that have me excited. I've enjoyed watching the Knicks in this Piston series

and just imagining Janis next to Brunson. Like Brunson is just so, just such a G, such a like bucket down the stretch, so tough, like just so built for the playoffs. And then you like have Janis as like the second option on that. In that offense is like wild to me. That that would be a lot of fun. And I would love to have a team in the Northeast that could challenge the Celtics.

And then the Rockets obviously would be fun, although I don't I feel like they still would need like some shooting or I don't know A shot creator on the perimeter. Whereas the Knicks you put them in there and there immediately I think a title contender Hmm. I mean, I think you said thunder Knicks Rockets. I think there's a fourth one probably too Oh, yeah, because this just happens every time any Ew. Oh yeah. Because this just happens every time any pre-agent is being discussed. I have to say it out loud. Who would the fourth one be? It happened with Luca. I said it as a joke. I said, Luca, come home. What? You did say it as a joke. I will say you guys usually don't get it when people expect it

to happen. Right. Yeah. It's just like when it's out of nowhere. It's eight months later is when it happens. Yeah. You expect it months later. I will say, like, usually you hear rumors that someone's going somewhere. Like, it's one of the times that, like, rumors do come true. Like, Bron to L.A., even Bron to Miami. Like those were both rumored for, for like multiple seasons before they happened. So the rumor mill on this one,

I feel like I have consistently heard the Knicks that he's like interested in going to the Knicks and bringing basketball back to New York. And then some of his commercials, he has like been in New York City. So I don't know, I could see it happening. He has been in New York, for some reason. He's been in New York City. He's been, like I've seen pictures of him in New York City, so I don't know. I can see it happening. He has been in New York for some reason. He's been in New York City.

He's been, like, I've seen pictures of him in New York City. I saw him eating a hot dog. There's a Druski ad where he's playing on a court, I feel like. Oh no, that was Embiid, nevermind. It was somebody with an accent. Did you confuse Embiid with Druski, or was it? Yeah, yeah.

Or was it? Oh man. Oh, that made me sad what I just said. Edit that out so I don't have to listen to that ever again. It's, it is really nice though. Blake, doesn't it feel nice to be free of, you know, watching, like watching Embiid's career has been a little bit like watching the fuse burn down on a stick of dynamite

that you know is gonna blow up in your hands. Yeah. Yeah. And it's just like, it's been, it's exciting for sure. Oh, for sure. You don't know what's going to happen. But you know it's going to end badly fairly soon and fairly quickly. This is where I'm at mentally with it, where I just watched that a court of gold or whatever it was called, the Olympics, Olympic basketball documentary on Netflix, which by the way, I do want to say, is my favorite basketball documentary by a former first couple, since Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson did one on Dolph Shays.

But I don't know who your audience is, but it's not for that. It was made by Obama. Yeah, no, it was made by the Johnsons. Lyndon and Lady Bird. Listen up. Court of gold was made by the Johnsons. Lyndon and Lady Bird. Listen up. Court of Gold was made by the Bidens, right? Yes, I believe it if I remember correctly.

But I remember watching it and love the Steph Curry storyline so much. You know, like LeBron was kind of a secondary one, the Durant one I enjoyed. And then I would get glimpses of Embiid just not talking to anyone, just hanging out in the the back Just not even doing the chant like on three one two, three USA just kind of hanging out and I'm like, oh Yeah, I can't watch give me my gold. Yeah one one two three not playing for France Which he had every right to do but yeah, it's I have been enjoying watching it. I've been as a fan

I've been enjoying watching it. I've been as a fan. I've been finding like secondary reason teams to cheer for where the Knicks have a lot of Villanova players on there. So I'm cheering for the Nova Knicks. No, the Villanova. You love Nova. That's right. I was really hurt when they traded even Shinzo the big ragu, the humongous ragu, but all time nickname, by the way, the big ragu for a redheaded basketball player from Delaware of all places. But yeah, I've been, I don't know, other than the three, one of it all, like I do still feel like because it's the Lakers that Minnesota series is still probably is easily the most interesting three, one out of all of them to me. No, it's not

Really? It's not. No, this is Miles like, you know Reverse jinx. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah with my reverse tears Just basically like do we want them to win in LA or not? You maybe delay it. Do you want Minnesota to win in LA or not? Yeah, honestly, I was talking to Jabari before, better to have a loss that is just punctuated, like, sorry, not good enough.

Not even something where you delay the foregone conclusion to get people thinking like, well, hmm, maybe. Really, that's where you're at? For right now, I mean, I will, I think it's like any sort of psychological thing where you have to sort of let go of the expectation of it because that's gonna hurt way more, you know? And I think right now, for where we started

and where we ended, I can say, you know what? Okay, I'm okay with this. This is how I wanted it to end, given the fact that we had Luca and LeBron together. Maybe not, but I'm not, look, all it's gonna take is for us to win game five, and I go, we're back. Yeah.

But I don't know, we just look so thin, like especially going down the stretch and JJ Reddick not being able to, he was just so rigid. Yeah, sub anybody out. It really felt like he's new, this is his first season, he's in the playoffs, the stakes are high and he's playing like the stakes are so high

that he's like, I gotta have every single guy out there even if I play them into the ground. It's like the first time you play a video game and you lose track of like the reload button. You just keep, you know what I mean? He's just like, Oh yeah, that's right. Shoot, people get tired. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then wondering is like, well, we just had our biggest guys missing with layups in the fourth quarter. It's like, yeah, cause they played the whole second half. They're exhausted. Yeah. It's just, I mean, that's where I feel bad when like, I definitely respect his acumen as a coach, but even there are other times when I'm like,

I'm like sweating for Lebron. I'm like, he shouldn't be out there this long now. He shouldn't be playing for this, this much, surely, surely. So anyway, there I am with that. But the Thunder, hey, at least they swept the Grizzlies. They look as good as I feel like they are. So I can at least focus on the number one seeds and just pretend that we weren't really in this at all.

I got a lot going on, man, right now. You have a lot going on. I got a lot going on. Hey, look, man, I gotta get out of here. Yeah, you guys have fun. I'm so busy. I just saw a rumor that Rob Polanco might trade his leather jacket for four second round picks.

Is that true or is the value not there? Well, it's true. It's true. It's Corinthian leather. I don't feel like there's a ton to say about the one eight. The Cavs crushed the heat by 55 to sweep the series. Like with the Thunder and the Grizz, like there were a couple close games where the Thunder in Game three had to come back from being down a

Lot I forget the number but it was like too too many to make sense And then they won a close one in the game for the Cavs just like beat the heat in game four by 50 55 like there's one point where it's like 72 to 21 or so. They had a 40 Miami, right? Yeah, yeah, I think so. Yeah, they had a 48 point lead at the end of the third quarter Which was I think the highest ever in NBA postseason history And yeah, you you all we saw was really sad sad Pat Riley on the sidelines being like, oh Where we had here what's happening on the other side of the league? Oh, what's Jimmy Butler doing at the Warriors right now? The Warriors are probably, yeah,

I feel like they would be America's team at this point. Like if the Lakers go out, like Miles expects them to do. I feel like they might as well just not show up personally. Like it sounds like that's where the Lakers go out like Miles expects them to do. I feel like they might as well just not show up personally. Like it sounds like that's where the Lakers are at. Just like don't even go to the game. I mean, no, no, no. You know how many people are coping so hard with the stats and stuff?

And I, look, I don't want to, like, I think deep down, I'm saying my most honest feeling is that I just don't, after that, we just do not have what it takes to compete with them right now, given how thin the personnel is. And just not- Keep using thin, Miles, and yet your best player. Nevermind, I'm not gonna even say anything about it.

Oh, wow. Oh, my. Jack. That's not what- I don't have an agenda. I don't have an agenda. My only agenda is to win, which is why I'm also like, look, if we got to move

LeBron on to bring in some other pieces to make this thing happen, please. Let's go. Let's go. The reaction to this series so far, like Zach Lowe being Zach Lowe, who I like a lot, but I have also laughed a lot at his, like sometimes his takes on round one or a little over the top. Like the year that the Heat beat Milwaukee and he was like, just spent the whole time talking about how terrible Milwaukee was instead of being like the heater actually playing really well. And the Heat ended up going to the finals. This time he was like, I actually understand the Luka trade,

the way this guy defends. But I think I think what he meant was like, there's a lot of people around the league who understand why Dallas traded Luka. They just don't understand why they did it the way they did, which is to as a secret handshake with the Lakers. With very little return. Yeah. I mean, Anthony isn't anything, but you know, other teams had a lot they could have offered you to set

you up for the future, especially in the Lakers would have still been there offering that. It doesn't like, it just doesn't make sense like even as a bit like knowing anything about business knowing anything about diplomacy like having read a book I feel like you'd be able to just be like this doesn't look wait a second even any book even a clicker of the big on any subject yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that's right he uses voice to text for everything. People don't know that. Yeah, which is good for him. Yeah. Let's take a quick break.

We'll come back. We'll talk about other series. We'll be right back. It's nostalgia overload as Wilmer Valderrama and Freddy Rodriguez welcome another amigo to their podcast Dos Amigos.

In 1978, Roger Caron's first book was published and he was unlike any first time author Canada had ever seen. Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted. He spent 24 of those years in jail.

12 years in solitary. He went from an ex-con to a literary darling almost overnight. He was instantly a celebrity. He was an adrenaline junkie and he was the star of the show. Go-Boy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable. I had a knife go in my stomach, puncture my screen, break my ribs, I had my guts all in my hands. Only to find himself back where he started.

Rodger's saying this, I've never hurt anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong on that one. From Campside Media and iHeart podcasts, listen to Go Boy on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Are we ready to fight? I'm ready to fight. Is you wish. I thought it was... Oh, this is fighting words. Okay. I'll put the hammer back. Hi, I'm George M. Johnson,

a bestselling author with the second most banned book in America. Now more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back. And that's what we're doing on Fighting Words. We're not going to let anyone silence us. That's the reason why they're banning books like yours, George. That's the reason why they're trying to stop the teaching of Black history or queer history,

any history that challenges the whitewash norm. Or put us in a box. Black people have never, ever, depended on the so-called mainstream to support us. That's why we are great. We are the greatest culture makers in world history. Listen to Fighting Words on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

["Fighting Words"] And we're back. As somebody who just doesn't want to see the Celtics win, I'm looking for things to be excited about. I feel like the teams that have looked better than I expected them to in the playoffs are basically Indiana has looked awesome so far. And like they were also like last year's playoffs, they overperformed. I feel like Carlisle's maybe the best coach

this side of Tai-Liu. And I still don't think that they can beat the Celtics though. And I don't know, the Cavs and OKC have both been good, but I do feel like I'm just like not counting it because they were playing teams that were far worse than them. So I don't know. I don't know exactly what. Let's we'll collect a little more data to see because the next round will be instructive for sure. But I mean, what I mean, even the Clippers, man, I'm sick to my stomach watching. I know it's tough to talk about this one

because it's gonna be totally different by the time anyone hears it. But it has, the clippers look, have looked awesome, but then, I don't know, they might not even make it out of this series. It's two-two. Yeah, yeah, that was, that game ending, was that an intentional,

Jokic overshot that, right? And Aaron Gordon just put it back. It wasn't like he was really trying. Yeah, it was a mess. It was a hairball. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was so perfectly scripted to have that at the buzzer.

I, yeah. It is the closest buzzer beater I think I've ever seen. It's to the point where like, I saw a lot of people getting mad. It's like, you all need better high-speed cameras. Right. You know what I mean? Because it was literally like so frame to frame.

But it was like, yeah, cause I think they were, it was like, felt like it was maybe, you know, 24 frames, whatever, how many frames a second one, it's like the light, you don't, you couldn't tell when exactly it went in relation to the buzzer actually going off, but it was good enough and shout out to him for- It was like a physics question at that point. It's like, you need, I needed like 10 frames

in between the two because it was like, it's touching his finger one frame next frame. It's not touching his finger and the light is on. Like we need to keep going down. Thin slicing is what we call it. It's like hat sizes. I'm in between a seven and a quarter and a seven and three eight. So I have to either go big hat or like tight, slightly tiny hat. Or I can only wear it when I get a haircut. Seven and a quarter. Yeah.

Speaking of hats, tight, slightly tiny hat. Or I can only wear it when I get a haircut. Seven and a quarter. Yeah. Speaking of hats, what do you think of those horse hats that they passed out to the Clippers fans in the wall? Did you see those where they're wearing like horse heads, but not full mask?

So that's my problem with it. Just a little to get ahead of myself here. They just go on their head like cheese head. Cheese head. Cheese heads, but horses. Oh yeah. But horses. To make Yokeokic be like, see I feel like that is too much of a like fun joke you would do with Jokic as opposed to like getting in his head. Yeah. You know

what I mean? Yeah. Like it's like we are so scared of you as a basketball player. Hey look at this, look over here. Here's the thing you like. You like, yeah. Yeah. Show the baby some candy. Right. Oh, you threw the baby off. It's cute. And I like it as a fan of the NBA and as a fan of just like fandom weird stuff.

Yeah. Yeah. As a, if I'm like really trying to scheme as a Clippers fan, I'm like, this is probably not doing the thing that we want it to do. You know? Yeah. This ain't it. I was wearing a Yishia Curry mask to Warriors games when I sit to try to distract staff from anything that you love. You love her man. Yeah. You're why? Yeah. You love her so much. Although that would actually, it actually might really mess you up if it's just his beautiful wife and then your body underneath her.

Yeah, right, right, right. My beautiful body, you're right. I don't know how to feel about this. Do you? My beautiful body. Yeah, your beautiful body, but like beautiful not in the way that he's used to. Right, right, right, right, right, right.

Thank you for qualifying. Might turn him all around, you know? He might not know how to feel. That's my goal. Did you guys watch Nick's Pistons? I did. That last one. That last one was... The refs really, you know, even that Laker game, you know, game four also fell some type of way.

There was a trip there at the end, whatever. But anyway, the Pistons, I really felt bad for them because that should have been a foul at the end right there. Yeah, it did feel like it was a foul. Josh Hart, I think, who they are just like, you know what, whistle? Never heard of it. Josh Hart, he's a tough defender. I don't know, I truly am like right down the middle

on that because if you call that, it's like, I don't know, it is one of those things that it's, it's like kind of a coin flip and- I feel like, okay- In this case, it just does decide the game completely. If it happened in the first quarter, that's a foul. Yeah. And so that's where I'm like, if, and I get,

you don't want to really inform the game with your calls there, but if that is a foul in any other context, then it should be even then without being like, but they could, it could shift the game. But I don't know, I don't know. I think also I'm just, it's really nice to see Cade Cunningham like really coming to his own. And I'm like, I'm just like really rooting for them,

even though I love the Knicks, but I've just really found myself really rooting for the Pistons, like, come on guys, come on, buddies, you can do this. But- The NBA is more fun when the Pistons are good. And then I actually, Jack, I have a, I want to talk about twins

when you're done with this statement that you're about to make. I want to rank the NBA twins. Oh, wow. That's fun. Because of the Thompsons. Of all time? I think, so there's the Thompson twins

who were both in the playoffs at the moment of this recording. And then I didn't know Horace and Harvey Grant were twins. You did? There's the Lopez brothers. I thought they were just brothers. Like I think, you know what, I think because one wore goggles and the other didn't. One wore goggles, so you might as well have different goggles.

Yeah, I'm like, oh, this guy has huge eyes and this other guy has normal eyes. I can't tell. But yeah, I always just, and the Morris twins, I think, you know, I'm partial to you because they're from Philly, but I think twins are so good for basketball in general when they're in the NBA.

Anyway, especially- Has anyone ever unleashed the twins on the same team, like playing together at the same time, like those two Australian twins that went viral, where they're just like completing each other's sentences and like- Oh, the two women who had the exotic bird rescue? Yeah, yeah, the two Australian, yeah. Freaking Friday, just like completing each other sentences and like, the two women who had the exotic bird. Yeah, yeah, the two.

Yeah, just like that weird mind meld. I feel there were there were professional tennis, like doubles players who like individually were not ranked, but they were one of the best. I think this was like the 90s or early on, like playing as doubles, a doubles pair. They were like one of the best in the, in the world. And it was like this, like sort of weird mind meld where they always like knew

it was like two minds or like two bodies with one line brothers. Yeah. Bob and Mike Brian. You know where I think I saw a story about them? Hmm. So is he minutes? Oh, uh, tick tick, tick, you know where I think I saw a story about them Hmm, so he minutes. Oh And I'm Jack O'Brien and Made in every episode and for for no one nobody's like god that guy's Leslie Stahl He did the Leslie Stahl again, honey I like the idea of listeners being like, ah, he did the Leslie stall again, honey.

I work out to that, by the way, when you do that line, I, that's how I do push ups. That's how I put up, I throw up weight. Yeah. Yeah. I like the idea of a family listening to this podcast, sitting around the dinner table. Honey, did you hear it? All right. But Brunson and Kat have been amazing. Like just some of some of the shots they're hitting down down the stretch. It really did feel like I was rooting for a Pistons win just because I wanted to see it go to to. And it was it just felt like this was not happening. I like I never felt confident. I never felt like they were gonna pull it off

Just Brunson is so tough in the fourth quarter He's had his points in fourth quarters in this series game one 12 points game two 14 points game three 12 points game for 15 points just Incredible. Hey, you know look good on the pistons though that Tobias Harris guy. Mm-hmm never heard of him game Uh, I was like that guy's okay. Wow finish is hitting like huge buckets that are like so like That fadeaway he hit like falling out of bounds like down the stretch was so wild. I don't know. I'm starting to fall in love with the Knicks a little bit. I don't, I'm only going to get hurt

when they play the Celtics next round, but I am going to watch every game of that, every minute of that series and, you know, weep along with Knicks fans. Chaelin Prentz and show them you're the Goat Knicks player, bro. Show them. Show them. Show them. And then, you know, it's looking like it's gonna be Pacers, Cavs. Like the Pacers have looked incredible. The Cavs have looked really good, but it also, again, it looked like regular season good

because the heat were pretty weak. Is anybody thinking that the Pacers might take them down? Not bad, bad, bad guest alert. No, no, no fall off, no. No, probably not, probably not. No, I mean, yeah, I'm, just based on how, I mean, again, like you're saying, the matchup with the Heat isn't the best display of,

you know, what their longevity will be in the postseason, but I think they will manage, I think they will manage. Yeah, I'm not I'm not too hot on the paces to be honest. I Just don't like I just don't like those they're new those like city uniforms. Yes the uniforms I knew I already knew Wayne when you were like, I'm not too hot on them I was like miles doesn't like their uniform. It feels like from like Nickelodeon guts Yeah, like or something like it's a Nickelodeon uniform. And then I'm like, I don't know, are you guys the, is this legends of the hidden temple

or this is the NBA playoffs? I can't take this seriously. Yeah, it seems like a uniform that was designed for, like do you remember in the Fresh Prince where Will Smith like played basketball for his high school? Like it feels like it would, if they had spent more time on the uniforms than that, like that would have been, you know,

it was like a 90s era, like made for TV basketball uniform. Yeah, yeah. With the neon. No, that was the Bel Air Academy ones? They didn't look like it. I don't think they, but like that's kind of what I, I would have expected, you know, like, or, or like the football uniforms in any given Sunday,

like they have like a lot of teals and like fluorescent. Yeah, just like generic, like, uh, costume designer with like a little too much time to think about this and they overthink it. So if we use the same logic of the person that inexplicably wins a March Madness bracket because they just looked at the uniforms. Yeah. By that logic Pacers, I'm sorry. Yeah. They're done. Yeah. You're totally done. You're cooked. I just don't like the uniforms. I'm sorry. And that's the wisdom I tap into to make these decisions. They've had some cool city connect. I feel like they had like almost like a racing like NASCAR, you know, like Ind had like almost like a racing, like NAS, cause like,

you know, like indie or whatever, you know, like racing uniform at one point, those pinch stripe ones I loved from the Jaylen Rose pacer is you know what I mean? Like Navy blue with yellow pinstripes. I thought that was really cool. Very classic and slimming of course, you know, with the pinch stripes and made all the players look lighter. Yeah. That's Lucas problem He needs to go play. Yeah, maybe we're actually quite overweight, but he just oh my god Nobody knows that because he had those streaming pinstripes. He was

375 pounds. That's right. What the heck just happened why we do that? Yeah, we synced up for twins I don't know. Yeah, no on on Tuesdays we sync up, yeah. You didn't notice? Identical twins, the twins. Identical twins. We're the Morris family. 375, you guys just birth new. 375 was the funniest number.

I'd, yeah. Why was it? That's so scary. Wait, why did it? It's so scary, I think I'm trying to move on from it actively. Like I think I don't wanna think about this ever again. It was like the final destination thing where you got a flash of it. You're like, oh.

Wait a minute. Never mind. Never mind. I said 298. We need to acknowledge the miracle that just happened here. Guys, based on that, maybe the Lakers are going to win. Because I wasn't expecting that from Blake and I, just completely just, brr-oop.

And you're going to win by 375 points exactly exactly exactly we're gonna be shooting 375 percent from person from three well now the delays a little the magic already I'm realizing that like people Now are just gonna be like yeah, but that happens all the time when you're in the same room over, over zoom. It's a little, it's weird. It's weird. Yeah, it was weird. Tandem bicycle right now, miles and I just doing claps around Jack.

Yeah. And they pass by the mic one at a time and just 300. All right. Let's check in with the odds real quick and then we'll go to the break and then I just want to We got the rabbit fire around a question I just want to put this guy out of my god of his misery miles You know I'm saying Okay, never mind here do do whatever it was you could have said before you threatened to kill me Here why don't you fill me up? Can you give me a glass of water? Kill you with rapid-fire keep it keep it running so it gets real cold from the tap What's that from the Sopranos and Bobby Bacala's dad comes out of retirement as a hitman and

has that botched hit job on that guy Ponyboy and he ends up dying after he kills him. Do you remember? It causes a strain because Bobby Bacala's dad is a former mob hitman and he needed money. But he stinks. He's so old, he has emphysema. He's like, and he goes to kill this he has emphysema. He's like, ah, ah, ah, and he goes to kill this other guy who's his nephew, and it goes all wrong because he's just like old.

And then he dies. But is he the one who tells him to put a, Yeah, to distract him. Run some water. He's like, give me a glass of water, and he's like, keep it running so it gets really cold. And as he's doing that, he gets his gun out to shoot the guy, and it just goes all wrong.

I remember that. I didn't cut that, but it's iconic. Sopranos. All right. OKC is still odds on favor to win the title. Boston is plus 190 right behind them. So OKC is plus 150, Boston plus 190, Cavs plus 550. The Golden State Warriors have moved into the fourth spot

at plus 170, which I think is wishful thinking. But I mean, that I guess is reflected, you know, the odds are moved by what people are gambling on. I'd love to see the Warriors make a run here. I don't see them beating the Thunder. I do think the Clippers have the best chance of beating the Thunder out of the West, but I don't even know if they're getting out of the first round. That series will have had a very important game five by the time everybody listens to this, but as we as we discuss, it's only 2-2. Clippers plus 250. Minnesota has moved up to plus 2800, 2800, which is a big move.

That that was plus 4000 a week ago and the Lakers are now plus 4000. It was two plus 2000 a week ago. I'm a bet 10,000 then do it. Uh huh. No, you should do that. That's what I was waiting for. That's actually really good. That's a good. Uh-huh. No, you should do that. That's what I was waiting for. That's actually really good. That's how it works. That's how it works. And yeah, maybe it's, I shouldn't be doing that, but when I put in this bet calculator,

it just looks too good. Get that in now before they change those odds, by the way. Exactly. So you should get that bet in as soon as you can. You would win $410,000 if you won. So I mean. Then that's... Hello, exactly.

You'd gotta be a fool to not take this. They would have to win this series and the championship. A team that looks completely gassed right now. Like it looks too gassed's too gasped. No, Jack, we look in five thin. That's right. Then on the bench.

I mean, sometimes thin people get gassed. The New York Knicks plus 4,500. Um, all right. Wait, hold on. Well,

hold on. I'm having that. What if you bet 10 grand on each, the Lakers and the Knicks? What is that over almost a million at this point? I mean, that's, they both, it's impossible for them to both pay out. Mm-hmm. Well, I'm not a mathematician.

But I do like the Zoria. The Nuggets plus 6,000 feels crazy to me because they are tied 2-2 with the Clippers who are plus 2,500. The Nuggets are the, yeah, the Nuggets are plus 2500 the nuggets are the yeah, the nuggets are plus 6000. That's I mean, I also think the Clippers have the better chance of winning the series, but that's still that's good value as I guess on this gambling podcast. Congrats on that trademark, by the way. Oh, thank you. Yeah. And that's what we call Jack's good value pick of the week. And then the Pacers, I think, are the best value.

Jack's number one value pick of the week plus seven thousand. Call it great. I haven't. Oh, that's great value brought to you. Not by great value brought to you by best buy. I should have called it Jack's Best Buy. But instead we call it Jack's great value. I made a mistake. I thought they would have more advertising money.

Great value for some reason. That's the end of the commercial. It's just yeah. Right. Mumbling. He bought 30 seconds of ad time and he filled it with his. I bought the. Copy regrets.

Yeah, you bought it on your own show. Guys, you hear that great value add? Yeah. I submit it to great value. They're like, oh, well, is it cool if we do this? Cool. Yeah. Um, parody law. All right.

Uh, go to draft kings. Is that the one? Anyways. Uhody law. All right. Go to draft Kings. Is that the one? Anyways, whoa, professional podcast. Let's take a quick break. And when we come back, Blake's going to get us a nice, a nice cold glass of water, let it keep running. So it gets nice and cold. Like I like it the way I like it. And then he's going to come back and he's going to be in a fire fight.

Rapid fire. Round of questioning. and cold like I like it. Nice and cold the way I like it. And then he's going to come back and he's going to be in a fire fight. Rapid fire, round of questioning. We'll be right back. It's nostalgia overload as Wilmer Valderrama and Freddy Rodriguez welcome another amigo to their podcast Dos Amigos.

I'll put the hammer back. Hi, I'm George M. Johnson, a bestselling author with the second most banned book in America. Now more than ever, we need to use our voices to fight back. And that's what we are doing on Fighting Words. We're not gonna let anyone silence us.

That's the reason why they're banning books like yours, George. That's the reason why they're trying to stop the teaching of Black history of queer history, any history that challenges the whitewash norm. Or put us in a box. Black people never, ever depended on the so-called mainstream to support us. That's why we are great. We are the greatest culture makers in world history.

In 1978, Roger Caron's first book was published and he was unlike any first time author Canada had ever seen. Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted. He spent 24 of those years in jail. 12 years in solitary. He went from an ex-con to a literary darling almost overnight.

He was instantly a celebrity. He was an adrenaline junkie, and he was the star of the show. Go-Boy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable. I had a knife go in my stomach, puncture my screen, break my ribs. I had my feps all in my hands. Only to find himself back where he started. Rodger's saying this, I've never hurt anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong on that one, Rod. From Campside Media and iHeart Podcasts, listen to GoBoy on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.

Oh, we're back. Oh, we're back. Nice cold glass of water, Blake. I really appreciate that. Just how we went from the tap. Really appreciate that. Now, why don't you look out the window? There's going to be a real pretty sunset there in a few hours.

Oh, it's beautiful. Yep. Think of the rabbits. Look at the sun go down. That's gorgeous. So, yes, it's time, Blake. You know we love you, man. But you also know we despise you and that's why

we love having you in the fourth quarter of the year. We're having a fire round of questioning. That's true. They're both true. The rudest, crudest question answer segment in all of sports podcasting history. Blake, we asked you a question. You just respond quickly. Got it. Quietly, confidently. Silently.

Respond without saying anything at all Answer each of these questions with your eyes and these aren't yes or no questions. They're very nuanced. So those eyes Got work to do these eyes. Do you accept the challenge Blake? I accept this try and start the clock Don't laugh Blake cuz this is serious man no sorry I was watching old 60 minutes clip and it made me laugh I missed everything you just said sorry I was watching the clip from 60 minutes during beanie baby mania wild what these people were spending okay here we go Jack you want to go first oh miles I'd love to go first. Oh, no, you guys don't want to take more time figuring out who goes first.

Hey, we'll be the rude one. Sorry. Please don't be rude to us, dude. I was just asking. I know, but it's our show, man. Just it's a weird look when you I'm sorry. Sometimes I get confused about who plays what role on this. So I thought it was my anyway. I apologize. I guess, dude, don't uproot us.

Well, treat me like that. Blake thinks he's so great because he's curing autism. I mean, Jack, I'm actually done with this. No, no, Miles, don't do this. And Jack, thank you. But Miles, no, no, no, no, don't act like that. I back to my own guy. Rude to you again. Nice try, buddy.

That was a rope adult. Jack off. Blake, you have the ability to wave your Harry Potter collector's edition wand. Nice try buddy. That was a rope adult Jack off Lake You have the ability to wave your Harry Potter collector's edition wand Which I know that you have yeah We tailor this for you. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, my 2016 Bellatrix wand Original it also know you got elder wand. We know you have the elder one. I got a whole set. Yeah, you get to wave your 2000 edition Bellatrix wand and create your preferred finals matchup for the end of this tournament.

What's your matchup? And then what do you actually think it'll be? I want Lakers Celtics. Honestly, ideal. OKC. Nicks would be, I feel like so much fun where you have OKC as a fan base has always because it's a city with kind of with one professional sports team, you know, yes, and then you have the Knicks which have been who have been around for forever, but New York is so Basketball rabid for the Knicks like I just feel like and I love the color orange That's actually primarily what it is. I just want to see as much orange on the court as humanly possible

So that's why I'm going okay okay, see next as my favorite, what I think it'll be Celtics versus the Celtics somehow versus the Celtics. I think it's going to be an intra-squad scrimmage. I told you don't let him use magic, Jack. All I gotta say though, I mean, you, you said earlier that the court of gold is your favorite, uh, Siri, uh, basketball documentary by a former president. Um, I'm just glad bill Simmons isn't a president because obviously the answer would be Celtics

city. Or whatever. And we're saying that bill as a peer as a peer bill peers. Yeah. Yeah. We're I think it is. That's what I wanted is more more Celtics content during these players. So your answer is Celtics for Celtics.

Celtics versus Celtics. What I actually think it's going to be. OK, OK. Yeah. Blake, next question. Go ahead. You're riding your bike that most people believe you don't use training wheels for,

but we all know we've seen the photos. You do still use training wheels. Twice legs are so strong. It's harder to pedal against the training wheels. He but we all know, we've seen the photos, you do still use training wheels. That's why his legs are so strong. It's harder to pedal against the training wheels. He's turning more wheels. And you come upon- And real quick, Miles, real quick, just so the audience knows, I have training wheels on the front and the back wheels.

So it's a total of six wheels that I have on my bike. I know. And I'm glad you admitted that. You know that. You act really cagey on your Instagram stories, like you're riding a two-wheel bike, I just want to say. And this is no shade, like we were throwing shade about calling out your Harry Potter wand to form the question.

But you're on your bike. Calling out sounds like it's negative. It's not negative. It's perfectly normal. I don't know. Bellatrix 2016 original wand. Yeah, go ahead. You're where you're at as a cyclist.

And that's OK that you still have the training wheels on. You're on your journey. Yeah, exactly. And on this journey, you come upon a magic lamp where a genie comes out and says, Blake, you're a Philadelphia 76ers fan. Would you take being in the lottery for the next eight seasons for a single title for Philadelphia next year?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. OK, how about. Wait, what? How about a lottery for eight seasons and didn't get a title? So, yeah, I would. OK, wouldn't any team ever in the history of the NBA? Jabari, I need you to further clarify the how many years how many years until the answer is no of being in the lottery for a single title?

OK, I'll answer for Blake here. It'll be it's more than I would say around 12, maybe 50. I don't know if I would go above. I would go maybe 15 years. I would deal with it for a title. Sorry, we need to bring super producer Jabari on who is saying that as a Lakers fan, he would not trade a title for eight seasons of being in the lottery. We're not from the same level. a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old,

a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, a six-year-old, onto that. Like, and that's not, that wasn't even intended shade. This is I would be livid if we were in the lottery for eight consecutive years. Do you know the song common people by pulp? That's what this sounds like to me. This is like, uh, somebody who's like a, uh,

generationally wealthy person being like, God, I would just, I think it would be just so fun to like live like the rest of the NBA for eight years in a row. I wouldn't, I would rather not win the championship next year. If Jabari was a genie, he'd started off by saying, Hey, it looks like you need a wish. I would say 15. Yeah. 15. I would say 15. Yeah, 15.

I would do 15 seasons in the lottery for one title. That is the right answer. I've never seen them win a title. Yeah, no, nobody, nobody has. Nobody has. Nobody's seen that. Nobody has. Nobody's ever seen that.

Nobody alive has. All right, the next question on the doc written by Jabari is give us your prediction on whether Embiid remains in Philly long-term plans. And if not, where is he headed? We're going to skip that one. Blake, someone's traveling to the Philadelphia area and does not want to get caught up in the tourist traps like Pat's or Gino's. Where do they need to go for a truly authentic Philadelphia meal?

So I think I've recommended this before, but I stand by it. Bad Brother, an amazing restaurant in Philly, right in the Fairmount neighborhood. So it's a cool thing in Philly where there's no zoning whatsoever. So you could live next to a theme park for some real, like in down city, down the middle of the city.

That's not what this is. This is a cute neighborhood. And then, yeah, they have this amazing sandwich called a sausage roll. It's like peppers, onions, chorizo and queso on it. Cool. It's so good. With a chorizo in it, too.

No, no, no, no, no. The chorizo is the sausage. So the link itself is a chorizo. Chorizo. So like ground, ground sausage. No, Miles, you mispronounced that. It's chorizo. It's tritio. It's tritio.

Hey, chorizo. Mike, chorizo. Chorizo. Brown sausage. My favorite sandwich. So it's crumbled. The meat is crumbled. Troy's out. Brown sausage. My favorite sandwich. So it's crumbled, the meat is crumbled. Crumbled meat. I see, I see.

Good God. No links. Great beer selection. They do these collabs with like local breweries. So they'll do tap takeovers and stuff. And, but it's good breweries. It's not like, oh, they're probably sponsored. Hey, better not be a sponsor of our show.

Yeah, I know, I know. I was're probably sponsored. Hey, better not be a sponsor of our show. Hey, uh, we love them all. We love them all. We love them all. Yeah. But it's, it's fantastic. So that's in the Fairmount area. And that would probably be my number one. Yeah. I think he, I think he fricking did it. Yeah. I think he somehow got every single answer right. Just by the Just my good act that we disagreed with him in the moment Yeah I don't know how he did it and this is why I hate having him on because even when we try and set him up

He answers all the questions, right just like boom boom boom God anyway Talking about me just now, okay We can't stand double decker bike. Of the tandem bike. By tandem, it is double decker. Were you picturing that we were behind? Double decker bike, yeah.

And when you pedal, your feet keep hitting my ears. I'm like, dude, stop. It's the worst design machine I've ever seen in my life. You know what mom said? We gotta ride the bike together. Cause we are twins. Anyway, Blake Wexler, thank you so much for joining us on miles and check on Mad Boosties. You got a live show in Philly, August 1st.

You've got a special out, Daddy Long Legs. You've got the autism awareness ride. This is the first that Blake's heard of either of these things. Yeah, I'm just gonna do the plugs for you. But what else? So where do people find you and all that. Yeah, I'm just gonna do the plugs for you, but what else? Where do people find you and all that? Yeah, thank you for plugging.

Those are all true. I'm gonna be in Philly August 1st, at Blake Wexler on all social media, and then each year I raise money for the Eagles Autism Foundation by biking in this amazing charity ride. So, you know, I know times are tough. Some people may not have extra money to spend, but if you do, it's a great donation.

So there's a donation link in my bio at Blake Wexler on all social media. You'd think that like, you know, Don Henley would have more money that he wouldn't have to raise stuff, but hey, it's fine. That's an Eagles joke. That's an Eagles joke, folks. That's it for me, folks.

I have to retire after that one. Sorry, my soul became nothing after that attempt at humor. You can find me at milesofgray, Twitter, and bluesky. I'm at jack underscore o'brien, and then wisely on bluesky. I've gone with jackobthenumberone.bsky. Wisely. Wisely, wisely. Smart. with jackobthenumberone.bsky. Wisely. Wisely, wisely.

Smart. Follow the hashtag badboosties, B-double-O-S-T-I-E-S for show links and updates, and be sure that's where you join the conversation on Discord. Look for the hashtag, you'll find ways to enter the Discord server to keep the combo going. That's gonna do it for us this week.

That might be doing it for us as the Laker fans, but who knows, who knows? Stranger things have happened and very predictable things have also happened. Anyway, we'll see you next time. Bye! Bye! Bye! Hey, I'm Jay Shetty and my latest interview is with Michelle Obama.

To whom much is given, much is expected. The guilt comes from am I doing enough? Me, Michelle Obama, to say that to a therapist. So let's unpack that.
