You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunluba Tarshou with the Stugat's Podcast. I had an issue Stugat's over the weekend that made me question Tony's contention that bad bunny is the biggest musical act in the world right now. And I didn't think I could question that because his streaming numbers are an insanity.

It's Taylor Swift. Well, let me get to thank you guys for allowing me to unspool the story. I appreciate that as always, Billy. Yes, it is, I believe, Taylor Swift and the evidence that I have this weekend is that I have the person who gets the secret stash of tickets for me, It's the secret stash of tickets for me reaching out to me to see if I can find anyone in the universe who can get Taylor Swift tickets in either Chicago over the weekend or upcoming in Pittsburgh. And the most powerful people in ticket brokering can't get tickets for the way the Taylor Swift tickets are not available anywhere.

So you're saying the secret stash guy, if he cannot get a hold of tickets, there is a major, major problem. Not just that. I'm saying that's the first part of it. The second part of it, he's asking, he never asks. He's always the guy that produces them for me has never asked. So I'm like, I'll try. I will reach out to the most powerful people I know.

Mm-hmm. And the answer's, nope, cannot do it. Sorry about that. And I think that that concert ticket is there a difference that we're making between fame? I don't, I don't even know like how I'd put them next to each other and how we do the measurements on who's a bigger artist.

Put it on the pole, please, Judeo, at Levitard Show. Who's a bigger musical act right now? Taylor Swift or Bad Bunny? It's always Bad Bunny. And I think you're looking in the wrong places, Dan. That's the issue. What does that mean? Bad Bunny might be more famous internationally,

but there is no hotter ticket in music right now than Taylor Swift. So much to the point that you can see videos now of gigantic crowds of tens of thousands of people waiting outside of the stadium where she's having her concerts just to listen together and dance outside. They're not even buying tickets to the show. They're just waiting outside of stadiums.

It's crazy. You wanna talk about outside Jeremy, bad bunny and on head did a concert on top of a gas station in Puerto Rico and the entire The entire street that's one country has Taylor Swift ever done a concert on top of a gas station But there's nothing there are people outside Country of Puerto Rico was on the street watching Filling a 70,000-erinus, and then outside there's 10,000 people.

I'm talking about an entire country watching Bad Bunny on a gas station. That's not true. It's pretty amazing that the whole country was outside that gas station. I'm trying to tell you guys. Chris Cody, please look up for me because you said 70,000, and I want to state it again so that people understand what I'm saying. I think soldier field is more than that. I think it's closer to 95,000 people.

I'm not sure how big it is and I again want to tell you, I'm reaching out to the most powerful people in entertainment to get a ticket for three nights at soldier field that are sold out. Sometimes it's hard by one ticket. Yeah, by one ticket's difficult. Ticket broker guy right here. 61,500 people. Not even 70,000. Yeah, buying one ticket. It's difficult. Ticket broker guy right here 61,500 people not even 70,000 really look up the population

Three nights. Did you tell this powerful person? You could just go outside and listen for free and a bad bunny used to perform on the Who are the top five most powerful people that you know? Can we do that? I mean 3.2 million in Puerto Rico? I want to know who you reached and all 3.2 million are outside of this gas station. Watching you. That's what you're telling me. Skip's gotta be one of them. Skip. Not yet. Haven't tried to skip yet.

It's more than that. What a list you have of people if he's not even on your list. Wow. Wow. Then no Riley was a sweet kid. Well, I've skipped. I mean, I mean, can you please tell me before you leave here? Can you please tell me your search for the Yoke Itch Brothers?

Where can we find more information about this? Because we got a couple things going on locally here in Miami. You've seen perhaps on our YouTube channel that we have another Dollar Shave Club duel. It's a pickleball match. It's Dan the Greafeeders against Stugat's heaters. Justin Judu against Chris and Roy in pickleball. You can head to DraftKings.com slash Dollar Shave Club to see if you cashed out on

that contest. And we've got a live punishment coming on Wednesday's show from that result. But also Wednesday night, you can come watch the game here with us locally. We don't do a lot of this. A finals watch party presented by Dollar Shave Club. Wednesday night, tip off A30, savage labs in Winwood. We will have show members out there watching the game. That's gonna be game three here in Miami. But I mean, before you leave for the day

and continue your coverage from Denver for us, and before you come down to Miami for the rest of the finals, what are you doing in pursuit of the Yokeage brothers? I've been wanting, Stu Gotts, for a long time. We've got a huge get later in today's show. I've been wanting for three years to get a hold of the kayakers who were just kayaking and then a whale breached the water

and they ended up in the whale's mouth. I've been trying to find these people for three years. We finally found them and I wanna hear about that experience. It's gonna be later in the way of breached the water and they ended up in the way old's mouth i've been trying to refine these people for three years we finally found them and i want to hear about that experience it's going to be later in the show but also uh... mean has been sent with a metal art budget to go secure an interview with the yoke it's brothers correct uh... well secure interview is rather ambitious than where's we have to confirm of their actual existence uh... what do you mean we've seen them in the stands what do you mean uh... we've had a hard time getting hold of them finding them their story is the NBA concealing

them from us they don't want you could just story told through his brothers look this is all i know then this whole story started when the clear okay child market morris in the back last season right remember we all circle the date when d'am visiting Miami and the brothers talked a whole bunch of stuff Whatever say where are these brothers? And I showed up dressed like Don Kang not to be confused with Don King And I searched for them and we didn't find them anywhere Even though I was trying to set up the the fight of a century So fast forward to

2023 and I'm under the belief that hey, what if these guys are just like propaganda? You know something that they create boogie man in the night to scare you to tell little kids to eat their vegetables and things like that. Everywhere I go, I hear about these yokeh, but the yokeh, but the yokeh, but the but I haven't seen them. And I have, I've not seen them. I haven't met anyone who's seen them. And the ones who have seen them, they all speak with this trembling fear and so I've got interviews with a bunch of people, NBA players, I've got Hall of Fame journalists, I've got the people here in the streets of Denver asking them, where is Nicolae Eokeach's brothers, do they actually exist? Have you have a confirmed sighting or meeting with them? I think everyone's

gonna really like what I found. All right Well for people who are not aware though of the cuz this is years ago now You went to a heat game with you went it wasn't you Don Kang was there Your your emissary wasn't you obviously not to be confused with Don kids that is correct He was there. He was he had a couple of tiny American flags and he was saying only in America. Is he here now? No, no, no, no, strictly in the United States. Okay. I'm sorry. My fault. Is he around though? Is Don Kang is investigator Don Kang around? Or you can only find him on our YouTube channel chasing the Yokeage brothers, the mythical Yokeage brothers. He is, he is, does not, he's not with us anymore. He had a really hard end of 2022. A lot of heavy

boozing and drugs and also some other vices. Yeah. Don Kang. All right. P. Don. Darn. Don. Gone but not forgotten. Wow. Don Kang is dead. Yeah. Okay. He lived a full-life Dan. I don't think we should mourn him. We should celebrate it. Shit Thank you. I mean we will see we look forward to future No, I'm taking others then Kang is dead. We will see what else we get. Metal Arc media appears to be just wasting money

I in both Vegas and Denver Let me tell you guys right now Ain't no bigger waste of money in the world than having a finals in Denver. This city snooze fast. These people you would you would think that it's like a day and not over. No, no, no, no, no. This isn't like, I'm not criticizing the city as like a destination. I'm saying like every I've been this is my 10 finals. Every city I've been in there has been an energy from the airport to downtown to around the arena at all times and we're in the finals.

Denver has none of that. When I tell you in Tony, you remember we walked around Milwaukee in 2021. Remember how many Dante deep in Chenzone murals and pictures we saw a million way, way more a million times more than Nicola Yokech pictures of murals I've seen in Denver. It's like he doesn't play here Are you saying Miami is a great and better sports town sounds like it Well when it comes to basketball you damn right now is the Broncos versus Adolfins or the Avalanche versus the Panthers Not like that be a different story, but when it comes to basketball 1,000 percent Miami's a better basketball town

different story. But when it comes to basketball, 1000% Miami is a better basketball town. Boom. I will tell you again to check out what it is that him and Tom are doing on the post game show also basketball and illuminati. They're doing a lot of good work all over the place. But what can you tell us just bite size portion for the people who want the full hour they can get it because it's a full hour of post game coverage right after the game on YouTube. Levitard and Friends is where you go. But what else can you tell us that people need to know about your coverage from out there? Well, game two's post game coverage is decidedly a lot more X's and O's were a lot more serious. I heard a lot of complaints from people that game one's post game coverage had about five minutes

of actual basketball coverage. And the rest was me running the stairs to prove that altitude is just a myth, which by the way it is Though not out there the altitude thing propaganda just like the yoghurt brothers. You sound like Tony look man real hoopers know Thank you mean Thank you. I mean we will go over later in the later in this finals We will go over with you and Tony this new list of top Basketball hoopers of all time. Tony look up for me.

Please how it is they describe this list. It's one of the worst lists I've ever seen but Tony has been saying that's harsh Dan real hoopers know and so we it's the pure it's the top 75 pure hoopers to ever do it again. Don't look at the name. Look at the game and Tony didn't write this list. No, it's style though. It's, it's just scoring. It's style. It's a huge. It's a huge. It's basically if you woke this person up at three o'clock in the morning, gave him a basketball, put him in a game. They do their thing. It's for 20. If Michael Beasley's not on this, he's absolutely on the list. Come on. He's saying, he has

to be on the list. It's a strangest list of 75 players I've ever seen. We'll get to it later in the week. And what'll hopefully find the Yoke its brothers So what is Jeremy nodding his head about? It's a really good list. Thank you. It's a good list even I'm on on board with this one It's a good list. It's a hooper. Brandon Jenny. You're on the That's a pure hooper. Thank you. I mean we'll check back in later. Give me the stand tomorrow Give me the stat of the day music real quick, please Give me the stand tomorrow. Give me the stand of the day and this is Star of the day.

Birdbox Barcelona estreno en Netflix el 14 de julio. Te atreves a ver. Dan Lebatard! I just heard a song that had Frank Sinatra singing from the window to the wall to the sweat drop off my balls. Two cats! We all heard that right? So what I'm saying here? All these females crossing and all skits keep going down. Oh blue eyes!

Congratulations on your suing on the nation. This is the Dan Lebatar Show with this two-gats. Hello, Ray. How are you? I'm good. We'll sit there. Nice seeing you again. Thank you for doing this. He's a two-time NBA champion. He's a holo famer and stugots he's a recent college graduate so among those three things ray which is the one that makes you proudest those of the three to time and be a champion

holo famer recent college graduate it's easy uh... the the college graduate uh... christkote has waved you off he thinks you're a liar christkote has now waved you off he doesn thinks you're a liar. Chris Cody has now waved you off. He doesn't believe that it's true And he's gonna feel like a real asshole when you explain it to us. Less people have done other stuff though. I mean we graduate a college, right? That's all we're saying. That's it. Right. You you minimize graduate from college. That's why you wave it off because but you like you got to understand

This was the longest senior year on record for me for anybody probably And I didn't have to do it so just if you guys understood Like the process from 1996 to then when I started again in 72008 and then picking it back up again in 2000 and I think 17, like this was a real process for me. I didn't have to do it, but along the way I learned a lot

and it's said an example for my kids. My kids know and seen me play basketball and they've been a game and they understand the Lord that surrounds who I've been in my career, but the education piece of something that really sets an example for them. I understand that. I understand it's important. I get that it's important to you. The achievement is important but I would give my high school diploma away for two MBA championships. Okay, that's okay. I'm just pointing it out. I mean a lot of

people graduate college, they get a college degree, a lot of people graduate college they get a college degree a lot of people get high school degrees Not many people win two MBA chip each of the biggest shot MBA is great. Have your opinion on this It is in the record. Thank you. I love for it for diminishing what Ray is telling you Ray Why else was it important to you because as you said you've mentioned a couple of times you didn't have to do it You're successful you're set up, you've got business interest, you have hobbies, it's a pain in the ass to do it. Why'd you have to do it? Was there another reason other than your kids?

Was it for you too? Well, okay, one class I took was fascinating. I took actually when the election was happening, the class was 2020 elections. So I was learning things about the past and, you know, going back to the 70s and 80s on how we got to where we are in our current political climate. And so it was fascinating to me because I was posting things that I learned in the class. And what I found out is most people when they speak about what's

going on about a pain, you know, a lot of times people don't have facts. And I was able to learn things, you know, about the government that, you know, people, you know, kids growing up today, they don't understand or they don't care to learn because you pick up right kind of where you get entered into the social atmosphere, whatever the zeitgeist of the times are, but you don't understand what happened in the 70s or in the 80s to get us to the 90s and then in the 2000s. And that's similar to sports.

You know, we look at who's playing now and we tend to think, you know, this is the best that's ever done and this person does this and this person, they couldn't imagine someone being better. So when I think about my career, even before I got traded in Boston, I never thought that it was gonna be feasible

for me to win a championship. This was 12 years into my career. And as I had played on a lot of bad teams, I had some some of the success. But what you learn is that it takes luck to get to a team where not only do you want to win, but your teammates want to win and the organization wants to win.

And I learned that being in Boston and in Miami, like that's not easy to come by. And then in the same token in 2008, 2013, when you were on this journey, this mission to win, I wrote it, I talked about it in different places, but when we won in 2013, I went to the dentist the next day, because you learn throughout this journey that you go on,

like you just get handed the trophy on the day but you win the championship on the journey, you know, based on the things that you do, the time spent, the practices, the collaborating, you know, throughout the year, that's what gets you the championship. You know, they show you who you've been on that day when you get the trophy. You know, they show you who you've been on that day when you get to trophy. But Ray, can you explain this part to us? Because I think people don't understand the obsessive compulsiveness that has to go in to you being the shooter that

you were and how much sculpting is involved almost to the detriment of everything else. Could you even keep up with things like education and history given what your job demanded of you being great at basketball? Like was there even time from your last year of college to actually pay attention to everything happening in the world because it was so important to be great at being better at shooting than everyone else? No, you can always tell, not tell these kids this now. Excuse me, I have the opportunity to coast the kids

at a color prep. There's three things the kids have. They have their education, they have their sports, and then they have their social life. You can do all three of them, and you'll suffer in all three. So you gotta choose two that I think you can do really well. You could be great at it. And obviously you gotta do your education

and if you're playing sports, that's gotta be big. So it's super important when you're doing these things, like any athlete in sports, whether you're in college or the pros, what happens is when you get to the pros, you stop learning. You learn basketball and you're very skilled at playing that sport. You hear guys talk about a game very knowledgeable and experts, but the world is happening around you.

You have to also kind of improve your person, your character, because then that too does help you get better at the sport just the same. So you can do both really well and you know learning and when I learned in the classes I was taking what I was when I was playing when I started taking classes. I was able to you know sometimes it was difficult to read books when I was on the plane. You know you're tired you're you're you're coming off the long road trip. So things like that, they are deterrents, but you can do both really well.

And it requires you to manage your time well. And anybody can do it. You just have to commit to it. And it's the sacrifices you always make. But again, I tell you, your social life has to suffer. If you're going to kind in embark on that mission. Some basketball questions for you here. Paul Pierce was wondering. He said, I don't know who Ray is rooting for when he was talking about Celtics heat. And he was, he was saying Celtics in five.

What is the answer to that question? You're watching Celtics against heat. Ray, don't do one of your dances. I don't want you to slither around this. Who were you rooting for? What are you? I'm not a dancer, then. I'm not a great dancer, but it's not slithering or trying to not answer your question. I was in a few months ago at the end of the season.

I was in Milwaukee. And it was one of the season. I was in Milwaukee. And it was one of my first times being back in Milwaukee and being in Arena. It was my first time and got a chance to spend time. I took my boys, two of my older boys with me and I got a chance to spend some time with Janice in the back. He didn't play this particular game. And a lot of people know these things, but they don't know.

So that's kind of how, you know, even between Boston and Miami and living in Miami, like we spent, we were in the final last year in Boston. So I'm in such a unique position with the three teams that I played for being three of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. I don't take sides. I just watch objectively and understand the game.

And I talk about both sides, non-objectively, what they need to do better to help win. And it lends to a lively conversation at my table at home, because my kids, they root for different teams and they see certain things in their watch the game. So I literally don't root for anybody. I just hoped both teams play well. And that's the honest and goodness truth.

Don't look down right here, Dancer. No, just devoid of human emotion. Devoid of human emotion. And he also played in Milwaukee. And so there's no answer to that question either You weren't rooting for the buck. You were rooting for everybody to play hard and have a nice time No, I mean what they have a nice time of not what I see is when I see bad basketball When I see bad basketball I call that out, you know, I like to see both teams play and you know for the

You know the truth of it you know as much and in the many three of us shot over my career that's what ultimately you see you know throughout the course of these games playoffs. So the so many teams are so like three ball heavy and I think ultimately you can succeed but it is a big your downfall if you don't mix that in with mid-range shots gets a lethal line and not just selling on that three ball. Right, I want to play a game with you. It's called a three-pointer for your life. Okay?

You only have two choices. Your life depends on this shot going in, okay? And your two choices are JJ Redick or Larry Bird? Who's taking the shot? Redick or Bird? Shop for your life. Who do you got? You can't choose yourself, Ray.

Well myself, you did, you, too. I mean, I know I was born in the morning, but not this morning. I know the two candidates were bird and reddick. So, yeah, I definitely went to myself. Wow, good, good. You found a long, I'm proud of you. Yeah, yeah, I know this thing really well.

Yeah. And here's another thing about generationally speaking about teams and players. Like, when I grew up, Larry Bird was a killer. Like, he was, you know, and we talked trash about it. So a lot of that, a lot of our, my cheesemo comes from, you know, Larry Magic, Bird, you know, especially if you played in the 90s and then to the 2000, that's kind of who we modeled ourselves after. Like I don't think anybody was a better shooter than Larry Bird and then Reggie comes after and he kind of gets catch that, that Aaron and he builds his resume and then I follow Reggie

so I pay homage to Larry Burr you know all they long. I made your life. Because that is for your life. Congratulations, Ray Allen. You get to still be alive. Thank you for being home with us. It's it is always nice to see you Ray. It really is. I appreciate your time. Thank you, sir. Yep. You always nice to see you, Ray. It really is.

I appreciate your time. Thank you, sir. Yep, you're welcome. Thank you, Ray. Stugat, I don't love playing those sounds in the background. The look at me, Louis. He was very graceful, not... I don't think he heard that.

Reacting to the look at me, Louis, but it can be seen as slightly disrespectful. Shit. And you were whispering in my ear almost hit this Get off my plane The Dan I went to the movies the other day and they're doing like a retro movie month and they're gonna play air force Is that Air Force one? That's American president. Is it American president? No, it's not American

Whatever's moving in asshole. They put they put the commercial and they're like get off my plane I turn my way but I go that's from the show I can't support anything Tony does Don Lebertard. I've pulled up the urban dictionary definition of Zaddy. Yeah, it says here They find handsome and sexy ass intelligent man that makes you smile and drip every time you see him I absolutely Listening to you read that still got hell yeah my Zetti is all of that damn Zetti got all my lips smiling You can't do this to him. I don't know if you're saying it. Daily, Daily.

Do this, Daily. You don't know what you're saying. Waiting him. Waiting him. That's been, it's a perspective of a, of a 20 year old woman. Waiting him. He's a Reese. I'm a Reese.

This is the Don Lebertar Show with their Stu Gats. We're going to Denver, Colorado. Home of one of the most rare beasts to ever grace the Earth. The Nikola Yokich, whose dominance and decision making is unparalleled. However, he's also surrounded by two mythological creatures, the Yokeish brothers. I'm a mean an Irwin and we're going to find out whether that actually exists here on the Dan Nebatocho. Have you seen the Yokeish brothers in person? Very enormous and they are frightening. See look I don't think they exist. I think this is all like here. It's all probably. I was here too. I didn't see him. The Morris brother, I get a whole thing. Well, I saw, yeah, I saw Yokeh, you hit the Morris brother, I didn't see the Yokeh's brothers.

I think this is all propaganda created by the League, by the Denver, to keep us scared, the Boogie Man in the night, right? I just saw the promo for the Boogie Man, they're worse. They are like every bond villain rolled into one. It's like gold finger and the dude from diamonds are forever, you know, like, well-felt. All of them, they're terrifying. And you should be afraid of them at all times

because they can kill you with their mind as well as with their hands. My they could always just get on a flight and go home after they do it. Have you ever seen them out in the wild? I haven't seen them out in the wild yet, but I don't know the video evidence is pretty convincing. I don't know, but you know you're right. CGI, special effects from those. Star NBA player says he's never seen Yoke. I talked to Jeff Green, Jeff Green, I said Jeff, are they real? I said yeah, they're real. I said, yeah, they're real. I said, all right, well, when have you seen them? Now, I'm going to tell you the story.

So last year when I first got here, I stayed by a big park here in Denver, Washington Park. And the first time I met the oldest brother, I was at a park with my daughter. And I just feel a big tap on my shoulder. And I'm talking about like a strong, a meaty tap. Yeah, and at first I'm just like, I started to go down, but I haven't. But I went my dad, he's like, hello Jeff.

But he walks away, he doesn't stay. So I can sit with him back. And he keeps walking, I turn around. The brother has tets all down his back. And I just look at him, I look at my wife, I just shake my head,, I turn around. The brother has tats all done his back. And I just look at him. I'm looking my wife, I just shake my head, and I start laughing. But they're great human beings, great people,

but they're passionate about 15. And the number of them you know, you got to love it, though. So the back, that's a good point. I don't know. I think my morning's is a memory, keep looking. Now, looking now if I were to try to engineer them in a sort of trap What should a bait should I use? I can't speak to that. I don't know See they got everyone shook everyone's afraid, but I'm not afraid of the truth ladies and gentlemen

I'll get to the bottom of this there are brothers Stop this. I mean to see the fear in his eyes he's he's about to he believes it. See this is this is the propaganda they put out there right it's I'm just saying it's like Bigfoot Bigfoot be afraid of Bigfoot don't go out in the woods and stuff but has anyone ever seen Bigfoot it's like it's a big black dude is telling you to be scared of something be scared of something. I'm gonna ask you for one piece of advice, perhaps. Okay.

If I were to lure these... Oh, mm-hmm. No. Just bring them on the open. Oh, no. They have tattoos that change when they flex muscles. It's like hyamine, and then they flex, and it's hyamine, Elhasin, from Phoenix, who works for Melach Media.

Hi Dan, it says all the way around us. This is exactly how mythology gets built, a little bit more every time, and now they're 10 feet tall, they breathe fire. I have my flags. This gonna be us over. In my hand, I'm holding what looks to the naked eye to be a bottle of water.

I don't think this is vicious here. But inside, I have replaced the contents with 100% pure Serbian vodka. Catnip for the Yokish brothers, according to lore. Just going to let it sit here. Most people won't even notice it. I'll be watching. Waiting to see if we can draw them out somehow. Now we play the waiting game.

Come on, come on. Come out, come out wherever you are. Better as video coverage than audio coverage, you could see what begins. So with Amino Hassan and Anali near a dumpster, ends with him hiding behind some sort of tarp that seems to be covering a television camera. You have Mike Flags was the best question asked

during that entire thing. It was. Billy, you had commentary throughout in my earpiece. Do you want to share any of that with America? No, I just asked if he was afraid to do the accent that he was doing in front of Jason Jackson. And then I realized that it just disappeared the entire video. Lots of accents today.

You also wondered as did I, if we sent Amina Hassan on an expense account to Denver to talk in a David Attenborough accent to Jason Jackson, which he could have done here without going to Denver, because he hosts a radio show with him on Sunday mornings. Buddy got Walker Kessler. Call him a star, which is a mean just full of shit. Like we all had to look at the lower third graphic to realize who is that he's tall, and then we're like, you Todd Jazz Center.

I was like, what is Aiden Hutchinson doing there? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha to do that at some point. At the end of that game Miami smelled like poop like everyone shit themselves. At your mom or you shooting and you just shit yourself because you're scared and I understand I get it you care. But it happens as well to the athletes. They never tend to admit it but let's play this Richard Jefferson sound from the finals a few years ago, where he is just waiting for Kyrie Irving and LeBron James to basically win the championship for him because he's running around scared. We'll get to that sound in just a second. But when I read these quotes from, for example, Jared Allen, saying, the calves were eliminated in the first round to the next.

Jared Allen is like, the lights were brighter than I expected. That's Jared Allen. Right. The front court was overwhelming, they losing the first round to the next. To see, and I want the audience to understand what I'm saying about, underneath the nonsense of entertainment,

Duncan Robinson cares about his job, cares about shooting. His money, in incentives, is tied to how much he plays. He becomes an undrafted player who gets $290 million contract and many people listening would be like, okay, that's the destination, correct? $90 million undrafted. You have a career here, you have a lifetime of money. You've now lost your job. And last time we saw you in the finals, you were telling us you were kind of afraid of LeBron. You were awed by LeBron.

You gave us the shitters at home watching at the end of games. You gave us the ammunition. You're a little afraid. You're out there and you're not as confident as the other guys. And then you lose your job because your organization says, yeah, we paid you, but other guys here are better. Struse will go over 10 and keep shooting. Well, you dunking because it seems we watch you think too much out there. To see that dude get stronger, to see that dude physically and mentally, but his game get better because he's competing against other people for minutes in a bleeping

Cauldron of yourself is steam your identity. Yeah, you're a good shooter, but it's a fragile thing You want to improve your game? Do you do you want to become a cutter? You want to make yourself more valuable because if you don't we got to give Vincent over here who wants to make money for his family We got to max screws over here who wants to make money for his family We got to Caleb Martin over here who wants to make money for his family, we got a Max Struse over here who wants to make money for his family. We got to Caleb Martin over here who wants to make money for his family. You live in that cauldron. The contract doesn't suit you there. No, no, but internal competition is great.

It's great to get the best out of it. Until you're living it. Until you're living it, but it's worked here because Duncan Robinson with that internal competition and hard work, like seeing Duncan Robinson take guys off the dribble last night, that was shocking to me. It's a saying, Gundee will always be shocking. He's done it all season, and it's a survival of the fittest thing. Like you better, you better, because Struce is doing it. Right.

Because Caleb Martin is doing it. I have no choice. Right. If you want playing time, you have to do it. And he did it. And your job and your minutes rely on it. But this, the part that that I wanna talk about, Chris Bosch did this a few years ago,

and let me know when you've got the Jefferson Sound ready, please. Chris Bosch, going into Boston, said the first time he was there, whoa, I was caught off guard by that, by just the intensity of playoff stuff. And it became something that was used as a weapon against him. Boston crowd sensed, oh, you said that out loud, you're supposed to hide that.

It's supposed to be bravado. Your fear is supposed to be concealed. Duncan Robinson probably regrets giving us the ammunition of when I got to the finals against LeBron, I was all that I was there against LeBron and then it showed in the finals and we held it against him and then he loses his job and then his organization doubts him and then the organization is trying to trade him and can't find takers all off season because your job and your career is in peril.

The cool part about that path is he's such a huge part of the reason that in 2020 they were able to even get to the finals and he's such a big part of that. Then he gives us the I'm odd and and it points this season right during practice during shoot rounds. He's playing two on two with guys like Orlando Robinson and Jamal Cain because he has been relegated to you are a bench player who isn't even in our rotation. It took not only Tyler Euro getting hurt, but also Victorola Depot getting hurt for Duncan to earn his way back in. But with Dan, you said before is, Duncan's been working on this stuff over the last few

years to turn himself into a more complete basketball player. And he was doing it against the guys that were, you know, their next the other two way guys and to watch Duncan as the guy who was already paid, continue to put in that work ethic and be able to overcome some of the stuff that he's acknowledged, depression or anxiety, to now do it with Kevin Love in the locker room, a guy who's helped guide him in those ways.

It's cool to see all of that come full circle for him. These guys, to God's talk after games about, well, we'll learn from this. I just want you to understand the mental strength it takes to have everyone bail on you and have to compete your way back up against struts and vincents who want it just as bad as you and when they go over 10, they keep shooting because you can't think too much. You can't have frailty. You better build armor and scars around whatever it is. Your mental softness is because to win at the highest level,

when you're going against the MVP of the league, in the fourth quarter, in a hostile Denver, you better not be weak. You better not in any way have weakness, any way in your system because it's been flushed out. He turned that game around. He won the game for me. She.

weakness anyway in your system because it's been flushed out. He turned that game around, he won the game for the game. She! Hahaha!
