You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. These side marios all you can eat is all you can maja soup, salad, and garlic I'm gonna move on a ping! This is what I was just greeted by Stugat's with as he eased into his chair. I got this rat-a-tat-tat of the calisthenics that he does before we start. I actually wrote it all down. You did, huh? In a sing-song voice, he said, Chief Schedule is is easy peasy. It is. The rest of the way. Yeah.

Then he asks me, did you know that JJ Watt and Brian Cushing are brothers-in-law? Do you think they do the national anthem before Thanksgiving dinner? They have to, right? I mean, they have to. Yeah, they just break each other's noses and then start singing the... Either the national anthem or the Pledge of Allegiance, one or the other. But this was my favorite part. I'm quoting directly here. Yeah, they just break each other's noses and then start singing the, either the National Anthem or the Pledge of Allegiance, one or the other. But this was my favorite part. I'm quoting directly here.

All right. I'm fat, not me, him. Right. Though me as well. I'm quoting him saying I'm fat. You said it, not me. You did say it. I said I was fat.

That's what I said. You're saying you're fat, and I wasn't even thinking that you're fat. I mean. You said I'm, you didn't say I'm fat. You said of yourself I'm fat, but this is what you followed it. You said not me, but you are. I mean, I don't know where we are with this, but. You said the words that you were fat,

but then what you followed with was even better. Yeah, I'm not certain that's the way it went down, but I'm- He would have said the words I'm fat. That's what he said, that's correct. But you said the words I'm fat. I was told he's saying the words I'm fat. That's right, well, we're all saying I'm fat,

but not meaning that I'm fat, even though I am indeed fat. I think we all mean I'm fat though, well, saying. I mean it, yeah. Yeah. But what came afterwards was this. I'm not yet another insincere apology from Stugat's. Put it on the pole, please, JuJuat Lebitard's show. Does Stugat's lead the world in insincere apologies?

He says, apologies if it smells in here during the show. I had a dairy queen blizzard. Oh no. I did. To which my response was this morning? Yeah. Last night, man, I'm telling you, my stomach, it is, I'm not feeling well, Dan.

My daughters are home from school where I watched the game last night. They wanted blizzards. I said, I announced a couple of weeks ago, my days of dancing with ice cream are done. Carbell done, but a blizzard, I cannot resist. I cannot resist. I went Oreo and Reese's peanut butter cup.

I got a new choice. Good choice. Yeah, it was good. Do you hold it upside down? I did not, no, but apologies in advance. Everyone here. Well, did you get it delivered? Cause that could be a dangerous game.

Delivered, yes. Yeah. Could have melted and then you tip it and it pours out. It did melt. I just, I ate it. I went right through it. Put it on the pole, please. Derrick Queen Blizzard, can you resist it?

And also which of these flavors do you go with on Derrick Queen Blizzard? You have to choose from these three Reese's pieces Oreo or heath bar because heath bar was my weakness a million years ago the dairy queen blizzard is the most magical of the ice creams is it not yes a cold stone is pretty close I put cold stone in the category but I go cold stone over dairy queen it's cold stone still doing the, but I go cold stone over dairy queen. This cold stone is still doing the show when you walk in. Yeah, they do that whole thing.

Follow me to the stone. Yeah, don't like it. Just give me the ice cream. You don't like your ice cream mass or something? They're merely entertainment. I'm not saying that. I mean, just put ice cream in a cup and give it to me. It really delays the process too.

Yeah, the line's always long and it's like, can we just get to it? They're doing like seven folds with this thing. It's like three is fine. They also use like, I don't know, like the things almost like squeegees that you scrape like your windshield with. Just use a spoon, man. It's almost like they're cocking a hole.

Put it on, well. C-A-L-K. No, C-A-U. L-K. That's a fine,-A-U. L-K. That's a fine, yeah. You never cocked the hole? Put it on the pole, please, Ju-Ju-Ju at Levitard Show. Do you need the whole Cirque du Soleil act

with your cold stone ice cream? Now, Lucy is here today, and when I initially saw her, I thought she was Jessica. What is the costume that you're wearing today? I am paying off a punishment. I am the exer swift. So the exer says plus Taylor Swift. This is pretty miserable. I won't say I'm having a good time. The wig is itchy. The fake vomit keeps falling off. I don't, I don't like it. I'm not having fun, but that's why they call it a punishment.

You are adhering. You have been a model employee. You've done more punishments, I think than anybody else here this year, even though you're not losing more than everyone else here. I did Rocky last week. Well, you all won this week. You all, you look like ET. After saying you were fat, you did say you were going to juju-ruld in Billy's absence that you have to do an hour of shirtless content this week. So we've got two days remaining for you to do the shirtless content this week based on Deon Dawson. That's what you said you were doing. The bills line men who came into the game last week shirtless or came into the stadium last week through the metal detector shirtless.

But you said I'm fat. I mean, you said you were going to do this this week, and jujurule that you were going to do it this week, and it's one hour that you have to do of shirtless content. I say a lot of things, Dan. How about we do it after Thanksgiving? How about that? You think you're going to be in better shape after Thanksgiving? Yeah, I might. There's a good chance. I mean, I'm certainly not in good shape this week. I had a blizzard last night. Yeah, but you said, you said last week you, you you needed six days to do, have exercises. You said you were going to do that all week and you took a before picture. I did. You did a before picture in the Rocky, in the Rocky gear with the idea that you would this week then do the

shirtless picture. I need to. I need more time, Dan. I mean, Stuccoch, you still owe a poem from four years ago that Cleveland or Stage, you were supposed to do it on no longer exists. How about I do the poem this week and I do the shirtless hour in a couple of weeks? This isn't a negotiation. You said you were gonna do this. All right, I guess I'll do it.

I mean, shirtless hour coming up tomorrow. I don't think I want to wait till tomorrow because you're gonna win. What do you mean? You said till the end of the week. Tomorrow's the end of the week. But you're gonna hope we forget Stugantz. You're gonna, it's one of your chief styles

of how it is that you do things. Yep, yeah, man, Billy. Not today, and I have a dairy queen. I don't know what your greatest frustration is with Stugat, but very high on the list has to be the perpetual kicking of things down the road. Like very few people I've ever met in my existence, love to say, and I'll do this in a day

until things start clogging up at the end of the week. Where does that rank in terms of your weekly frustrations with Stugat? We do have busier last days of the week, typically, because things have gotten pushed back later in the week. So look, I feel somewhat responsible for this because I'm trying to rule here with an iron fist. So we're going to have to start adhering to some rules here.

Last week, there was accusations of shenanigans. There's been some games being played with the Golden Helmet of Life. I was actually gonna do this and make this announcement, because I have an announcement to make. Here on behalf of Fishley as the Commissioner of the Grit of Death. I was gonna do this because I have to do a punishment dressed as John Skipper, and I was going to do it in my costume as John Skipper, because I feel like then you guys would have taken it more seriously. However, the problem is Skip sometimes just appears here,

so I'm like very skittish to pay off this punishment because I don't want to be dressed as him a day that he comes here. And the last time I was going to dress like him, he actually did show up that day, so I'm like, thank goodness I didn't do it that day. So we're gonna have to get a schedule for when he's gonna be here so I can do this when he's not here, because it's gonna be such a good costume,

it's gonna be confusion. However, last week there were some shenanigans and accusations about Tony pulling out the golden helmet of life and then a swap that was pulled directly after. Now it's come to my attention that Tony has done this trick multiple times where every week he's been pulling out the golden helmet of life and we have multiple golden helmets of life that are being pulled at the same time. So this is what I'm thinking is the only fair and just thing to do. There will be no more golden helmet of life in play the rest of the season.

I swapped with him, so I'm going to have it this time for the next three weeks. And after that, we're going to make sure that that is not in play to avoid any shenanigans moving forward. Now, to address the issue at hand, if you said you're going to do it and you were let off the hook, you're going to have to do an hour this week. It's even a compromise. It's not even a full show. If you said you'll do an hour, do an hour. All right, tomorrow. Well, why don't you just do it today?

I don't want to do it today. I had DQ last night. I mean, come on. What are you gonna have tonight? I have no idea. I mean. This is what I'm thinking. Then you're gonna have to do in a live hour tomorrow if you're doing it tomorrow Why because if we're doing it? This is the compromise you do it tomorrow. It's a live hour tomorrow If not you could do it, you know one of the hours today that's not live on YouTube Well, I'm live hour tomorrow. You're giving me a choice of a non live hour today as opposed to a live hour tomorrow It all goes on YouTube. It all will end up on YouTube

I'll get back to you on this All right, well you have until the end of the local hour today to decide and I'll let you know tomorrow All right, that's not the end of the local hour today. Oh, you have until the end of the local tomorrow Let me circle back to let me explain to you guys What it is that happened to me last night during that chief's Eagles game because I got called away as has been happening various times recently with family stuff. And so the last I had checked in on chief's Eagles and the three bets I made on chief's

Eagles, the chiefs were up 17, seven at the half. Here's what I have with the three bets that I have in play with the chiefs and eagles game. I've got the chiefs minus two and a half because if they're ever getting points or under three points, I'm betting them, even though they have scored fewer second half points than any team in the league. They're averaging 5.2 points per second half. They're the second highest scoring team in the first half. They are dead last

in the second half. They have not scored a touchdown since before Halloween in the second half. October 22nd is when they last scored a touchdown. I've got over 45 and a half. Keep in mind, it's 17-7 at the half when I check out of this game. But this was the killer when I checked back in on, when I opened my iPad to where I had left it, which was 17-7, I opened it it and this is how I find out that I didn't cash my 18.5 over yards on yardage for Marquez Valdez, scantley, who won

Vs. On one play, sabotages all of the bets. sabotages all of them by making the one mistake that he can't make because his entire career is just getting open for rogers and my homes there on that play it's the only thing he does there's nothing else in his game the game is run 50 yards down the field and make sure one of the best quarterbacks ever hits me in stride that's that's all there is there's nothing else. Do you realize that they put it at 18 and a half because he's not going to have two catches for 12 yards? The average is either going to be zero or it's going to be 50. It's got one shot. And so I open, it's a very frustrating feeling to open your iPad and all you've got is the ball

going through the hands of Valdez Scantley. Did you take the over knowing the weather conditions at Kansas City? I just always take the over with Kansas City. It hasn't worked out this year and they don't cover very often either as an added bonus over the last couple of years. But their defense is obviously very good, Stuugots, and their offense isn't, like, their wide receivers aren't any good. No, they're not, but they want a, you know, they want a Super Bowl last year with basically

the same wide receivers. Different offensive coordinator. Yeah. I get that argument. The difference in different OC is a good one, although Matt Nagy came from there before. So they're keeping things pretty uniform, but they're worse than last year. They lost Juju Smith, who I personally don't rate, but looking at this crop of receivers does present an upgrade.

They brought new receivers into the fold. They're not good. Everybody that was there last year is worse. Valdez Gantling has, I think, six of those types of drops this year.

It's far too high. Kelsey had a couple of last night too. He did. He had a fumble. I mean, I got a message for Travis Kelsey, Dan, because he's a friend of mine,

and I am telling you right now, he doesn't know this is going to happen, but it's about to happen. They lose more games, okay? He has a drop. He has a big fumble in that game last night. Big turnover, okay? Yeah.

Two turnovers in the red zone for one of the best red zone teams we've ever seen as long as Andy Reid's been there. Yes. And she's fans are going to, they're going to start doubting Travis Kelsey, Dan. If they lose a couple of more games, they're going to start to say that Travis Kelsey is not as focused as he's been in years past. He is more focused on his relationship with Taylor Swift, he is more focused on doing his podcast with Jason Kelsey. I'll get to him in just a second because that's a complete disaster. And he is more focused. What's the company? They're covering the centers on the telecast. They've never covered a center like this ever. They are, they're showing highlights of Jason

Kelsey pulling and making blocks. And if I'm another center, I'm sitting at home saying, hey, I do that every single Sunday, and no one highlights it for me. What do you guys do it? So back to Travis for a second, okay? Dan, I'm telling you it's coming. Chief fans are gonna come down on him on sports radio. I am telling you right now because he's not as focused

as he's been in years past. And because he's not focused, and he's one of the leaders of the team, the captains of the team, everyone's going to criticize him and say where's your focus, you've lost your focus and they're going to start getting mad at Travis Kelsey. He doesn't see it coming, he's new to the game, I'm telling him right now, it's going to come. Wait, are you doing it though?

I'm not doing it. I mean, did you think Travis Kelsey was celibate last season? Like he wasn't going out anywhere doing anything. This is different, Billy. This is, you know, you got families meeting in suites, even though the switch didn't show up last night. You know, you have Taylor there. Then she's not there. They're for no one. Taylor's there. Uh, they're on, you know, they're below 500, which is not there.

Been to his games. No, no, no, no, his focus is he's not focused on football. He is shooting a million commercials. Okay, this is not me. This is his fans. Great for his. He's also a dear friend, I think you say. He's not saying it. He's not saying it. No, great. It's your saying it's coming. Yeah. It's just a warning to Travis. My friend. It's coming. Unless you get your act together and you start focusing a football again. That's it. That's all I'm saying I don't care. You're not even saying you're a Hall of Famer in my book. It doesn't matter You're one of the great tight ends to ever play football in my books. It doesn't matter I've seen all your tricks, but if that you don't think the chief fans are gonna turn on you

You have another thing coming. That's all I'm saying. Why not just tell him if you're his friend I mean listen Maybe I'll shoot him a text later on and warn him and tell him what's about to happen. We'll see if he changes his ways. But I mean, start focusing a football. We're not worthy. Is it if you think X, you have another thing coming

or another think coming? What is the saying? Is it thing coming? Another thing coming. Yeah. Why would it be think? Because if you think X, you have another think coming. Wow, I've always that thing. I'm asking. I don't know which it is. I've always said thing as well. I'm asking. I subscribe to Judas Priest. Yeah. Can you look it up for me? Well, no, it's a top Google thing. Like, this is a real thing that it's a debate. Is it another thing or another thing?

But also, second result is you've got another thing common by Judas Priest. Ah, yes. Hey, Dan, listen, this is not just limited to chiefs fans. It's also like I can imagine Patrick Mahomes whispering right now to somebody, okay? Kelsey, not focus. Not nearly as focused as he's been in years past,

and that's a bad thing to do. It's a bad example to set as a leader and captain of that football team. It's coming. I'm telling you right now. It may actually seem like a legitimate tomato tomato thing in which the ocean that separates us from the United Kingdom is the difference.

Another think coming seems to be more popular in the UK, whereas we don't use think as a noun often here in the United States. So it's pretty universally here in the US, another thing coming, which is weird because I believe Rob Halford is not American. When you think of proper English, don't you believe that in the UK,

they'll get it right more often than we will. No. You don't. Put it on the pole, Juju, at Lebitard show, when it comes to proper English, who does it better? The English or American? Now make sense of this. Rob Howford's from the UK. Haha. Haha.

Dad, imagine your creed Humphrey. Do you know who that is? No. The Chief Center. Imagine your him and you're pulling the same way Jason Kelsey is pulling. You're making the same blocks Kelsey is making. And Troy Aikman is not singing your praises on the telecast. I think he's got another year. Yeah. It looks great. I mean, they're trying to drag him back for another year. They won't play anymore.

His wife said enough. I mean. Well, Creed Humphrey almost allowed someone to intercept the pass between his legs. So that was wild classic Creed. Let's talk about that one for a second because I had never seen that before. Last night and this is a thing that happened. I couldn't believe that it happened and it almost happened successfully, Sturgatts. Are you done with Jason Kelsey and Travis Kelsey or did you have any more on that bone? Are done have you said everything because you said you had a message for everybody involved with the Kelsey's and I thought you were gonna go after Donna who doesn't actually need a police escort come on knock it off Donna Donna Kelsey's wandering around with a

police escort you have a message for a Kelsey you got me in the mood there with all your messages for the Kelsey's I'm concerned about him. I mean, I love Travis. But do you have anything else for Jason? Or are you just generally done? No, it's not, listen, if not Jason's fault, he created a great podcast, the number one podcast in America right now. Everyone is infatuated with his family.

My wife's going, oh, I want Jason to win. He's never beaten Travis before. I'm like, what? You care about a center? You care about a football player? What about Creed Humphrey? Enough is enough. Creed Humphrey was number one ranked center last year

by the way. I know it's pension. I'm sorry I didn't know the name of Creed Humphrey. That's the point. Yes, that was a good point that you made. I saw that Donna was doing the thing for a chicken fast food joint where she was like working in a drive-through and she had a

shirt half green and half red. Drive-through workers have to hate that, right? Like this publicity stunt, it's so demeaning. It's so like, oh wow, look, here I am. I'm the common man working at Walmart. What could I get you? Working at a drive-through. Oh my gosh, this is so much fun. I wish it was a cashier Walmart every day. Famous people like cost playing is just like the lower classes, the most annoying thing in the world. I've seen so many influencers being like,

like do it like at Walmart, like scanning items, being like this is so much fun. Shut up, you got paid millions of dollars to be here. I hate it, I hate it so much. I'm Tyree Kill and disguise in Germany. Oh, hello everyone. A terrible disguise, terrible disguise i might add like it works though i'd always work for him so i mean it did work but it's because he looks so comically cartoonically ridiculous and it's terrible big voice why would tyrie kill

be dressed that way in germany it doesn't even make any sense but getting back to what you were saying about what would have been the most amazing play in football history if it had been executed proper we got to paint the picture for the patrick my homes is trying to spike the football he's in a hurry he wants a time out and he's going to spike the football jalen carder of the philadelphia eagles times this perfectly so that he goes straight through the legs of the center whose name I still can't remember even those two gods just mentioned it and and got the ball the ball was thrown

and hit him in the hands because he timed it perfectly which cannot be easy again between the legs of the beloved Creed Humphries and the ball bounced up and was almost an interception. Would have been the SB play of the year if he catches it. It was so smart. It would have been a turning point in the history of football, correct? Spikes would forever like take a step back, then spike it. Right. Greg Sianu got run out of football because he kept in these situations sending people at the

knees while a professional football. They'll always be there. run out of football because he kept in these situations sending people at the knees well professional football professional football and good college football he got run off to the fair enough your point saying the edges of Rutgers you have to make the argument Rutgers is the worst program in the last hundred years. Bull eligible Rutgers. Yeah he's got another run in him and we have him to thank for the whole Connor Stallions thing. He's got another run. It would have changed. Put it on the pole, please, Juju. If Jalen Carter had made that interception, would football and America have been changed forever? I've watched it about two dozen times. It's great. I'm honestly mad that he didn't make the play.

I'm like, I can't, and you had the chiefs. I can't criticize MBS for not catching a ball that hit him right in the hands a little over thrown If we're gonna be critical what the spike if it is it going You you saying if we're gonna be critical you should have heard Chris Cody saying if you're the center of your Humphries You got to close your knee you I mean you have one job there you gotta expect that you gotta expect the play that would have changed A mirror a little close it gotta expect the play that would have changed America a little. Close it up. Expect the unexpected, Dan. Well, we've also been talking about Jalen Carter in his form,

and like, poor form. You gotta go in there with the arms closed, so when he spikes it between your arms, it hits your forearms, and it just lands on them, and then you scoop it up. That's what's coming today around America, around the country, really. Is everybody's kind of figuring out, this is doable, and this is how he should have been done.

It was the real drop last night we just had a picture on the screen of his arms cupped under the like he's cupped under the ball after the ball started that it starts their fountains right into his face mass and he's good to go got what a hilarious review that would have been john parry talk to us about that What a hilarious review that would have been. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Okay, very good. This is the Don Lebertar Show with his two guts.

Jimmy Butler tried to bring back the Sky Hook. Last night's two guts. He yelled Sky Hook as he was taking the Sky Hook. Correct? He was yelling the words Sky Hook. Pat Riley, Eric Spulster said after the game that Pat Riley is very happy about this because he's been trying to bring back the Sky Hook as a, you know, it's the most unstoppable. We can, I'll make the argument, could we not that in basketball the Skyhook was the most unstoppable play in the history of the sport? Yes.

In fact, I think it was. Wasn't is, right? Yes. It remains that Karim Abduldjabar Skyh hook was not something that other people could block. So Jimmy Butler does that last night. Duncan Robinson is shooting out of his mind, out of his minds to guts. And I don't know if this is sample size theater or market improvement because when you look at the numbers on what Duncan Robinson is doing, they have been offensively percentage wise overwhelming.

Like he is shooting better than anyone in the league shoot. Bam too, as well, seems to have taken a step. I mean, like you said, small sample, but if these two both keep doing what they're doing, I mean, that's definitely an improvement. I would ask Mike, as it relates to Bam,, is BAM having the season you finally wanted him to have? Let me see. Let me look at the stats.

Okay. Okay. Four, twelve, over four from three. I'm sorry, that's a Victor one, but I'm not going to find it. If I could though, I should point out to people and this doesn't make Darryl Mory correct, but Darryl Mory has said, you know, and I can't dispute it very much, that you know what a player is after three years, that there aren't other steps to be taken in basketball after three years, that

what you've seen from BAM and what you've seen from Duncan is the way they do the evaluations in that sport, what they are, that there's not a whole lot of, you know, you don't have BAM all of a sudden becoming someone who improves his range and stuff But it does look that way against very bad team so far this season Those two players look better than they have look it just seems like he's looking to score now where it's in the past It was just kind of like some games you'd see it in them But now it's just like I'm going to get my 20 of this game I've also thought a lot about what Darryl Mori said because Darryl Mori, I think we all

respect him as a as a basketball mind and his numbers tell him things pretty definitively. But also, how does the data change when you have an organization like the Miami Heat that I mean, over the last few years, it's proven that they can make marked improvements on players. But in the first three years, what hasn't been proven, although Jimmy Butler would be a better player now than he's taking more threes now. What do you feel about that? But I'm just, well, I don't love him taking threes in general. I mean, it's going to be his, he's going to need to be more effective from the outside

as he ages. But that's a great point, Dan. What do you do with that? Because Butler got better midway through his career. I mean, a lot better. I, he was always, he was always very good. But not, not a guy who could lead a team to the NBA finals two times in four years. Like that year with Minnesota in which they had injuries, he was a pretty special player

there. I, I, I hear you. The end result is he's carrying teams and bending over scores tables, going toe to toe with LeBron and one of the greatest finals performances we've ever seen. Yeah, clearly at that age,

that's the best basketball he's ever played, but also it would kind of thumb your nose at the fact that maybe that was always in him. I'm just looking to God's at the sample size of everyone who's ever played the sport. And if a guy who is invested in measuring what athletes are going to be tells me that the way they generally do it with very few outliers is we know within three years what a player is what his ceiling is. I'm going to say that with very few exceptions, I'm going to believe that person,

but Duncan Robinson, bam out of bio, and Jimmy Butler can disprove that theory if I give them 82 games to do it. I'm not gonna do it the first month of the season. So I'm trying to figure out why Duncan and Bam are making these leaps. And I guess the best thing I can come up with, when we're watching Duncan Robinson and Bam

out of bio over the last few years, the frustrations that we have with them, it's mental, it's an approach. This isn't exactly Jalen Brown, not being able to dribble with his left. Like, I can't, look, I'm trying, I'm trying to correct that. They're mental aspects to the game

that kind of jump off the screen. Bam, be more aggressive, we've been screaming at it at our television. Because because you're watching someone who's strength, you know, to be an athleticism, you know, to be even though he's undersized for what it is that he's doing. You know, it's rare in that sports du got. When you're watching someone like Bam and he's more of an athlete than most of the people he's playing against. Like you can just see it.

It is rare in that sport. I think people have this with Anthony Davis some too, but you don't get a lot of what BAM is getting where people are watching and they're like, yeah, you're an all star. But how about this part about you're stronger than everybody and just back somebody in or just take it and do what he did earlier this week? Where he's just dunking on somebody, where he's just putting a shoulder into somebody

and then dunking on them because you can't do anything about it because he's too strong. I don't wanna be a party pooper, but man, this heat schedule of the last. Yeah, there's busy games. But I mean, there's something to be said for beating these teams, right?

But they are getting fat off of some flat tracks here. They are. With BAM, though, for Mike, it's just the consistency. It seems like every night he's bringing it. Like last year or the first few seasons, with BAM, he would have big night, big night, big night than a clunker. It seems like every night's a big night now. I, we should give them their flowers while they're doing this at a high level right now, because

there were times during the regular season where BAM certainly wasn't doing it in Duncan Robinson. It's been a couple seasons. I mean, quite frankly, we've never seen this out of Duncan Robinson. But I do think I want to see it in the playoffs as an accurate take here. I'm also curious whether Duncan Robinson might feel some freedom from the thing that was testing and challenging his mental toughness. So, which is, well, it's true, and Vincent aren't here anymore to take all of the minutes because they're shooting from

everywhere on the court without fear. It is more his than it has been. He's not being chased down by other people who are on small contracts trying to make money. I mean, he would go in in years past and would have to hit like one or two of his first three shots if not they would take him out. Now he has a longer leash. You're right. I mean, it frees his mind up a bit.

But he's also like Caleb last year was way ahead him on the depth chart played 21 minutes to Duncan's 30 last night. So he's also just playing well. Correct. Let me show you some video. I love high mackerels. He's been great. I love him.

Sort of the heat. I mean, what a fit. They're playing him all out there in the four seasons. He's big. He's got the old man game already because in part, he is an old man. Like he came in the whole league fully formed.

He looks like a 10 year vet. Dude, he is such a great fit. A big point of attack defender that can switch off. Did you see what he did to LeBron? That's one of the few I guess you can categorize that as a good winder in this stretch. What he did to LeBron was really impressive. Just I know he's older, but he just stroked into the league. To have that weapon there, it's just such a culture fit. I hate to say it. Well, they trust him early and they usually don't. They're trusting him late in games for fourth quarters, the way that they started to trust Caleb Martin, but it took him three years to trust, or how long did it take them to trust Caleb Martin that way in fourth quarters? And that kind of competition ends up making all of them a

little bit better, but their coach just so that you know, okay, So we're clear on this. Eric's bolster is crazy just so that you know he keeps it hidden and you don't see his fangs that often but what Gurgles beneath him is very much I'm not here for these players to like me. My job is to make them better and that can't be so if they're always liking me. And so I wanna play for you, Stugato, I want you to look at the body language on Spoh here before a Nets game the other day. When a reporter is asking him about the difficulties that the reporter is presuming the Nets obviously

show the difficulties against the Miami Heat, that he is not willing to accept the the reporters premise that the nets bother the heat You mentioned their injuries and obviously your injuries are well documented I'm curious what Regardless of what lineups are out there. What have they done that have caused you guys difficulties in the last several games? I'm not gonna can see that I mean this is this is just competition. We have to figure it out whether they think they've handled this easily or whatever I don't know where that's coming from but you know, well you know they're a good team you have to respect that and they play

fast they shoot a lot of threes they're a very good driving team now we do some things that we think we do very well also and now we'll just figure out you know who can be the better team tonight? All right, thank you Nobody gets up faster after a press conference. He was so confused by the question. For those just listening on audio He literally had to shake that question off Well, yes, let's let's let's I want to play it again And I want the video team to freeze him at the moment of maximum discomfort inside of his own skin when the skeleton wants to come out and eat the reporter. The skeleton inside of his body is trying to get out and suppose skin is trying to keep it down

because he's so irritated with the idea of somebody gives you trouble. Their injuries and obviously your injuries are well documented. I'm curious what regardless of what lineups are out there, what have they done that have caused you guys difficulties in the last several games? I'm not gonna concede that. No, I mean, this is not- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, man, this is not Stephen A Smith does that right there like Stephen A Smith does that when someone else is talking It's the beginning of the shoulders of a break pants It's low. Oh shit

It looks like that thing when you want to like do a line with someone like do the arms do what like the line The shoulders of a break dance. Oh There's also a moment where Spowe realizes he's disrespected the nets and he needs to compliment all of the words at the end All of the words about their good team and we have to respect that all of those words were just because he realizes That his skeleton under his skin gave a tell gave an obvious tell that he was just gave a tell gave an obvious tell that he was just bothered by the suggestion that anyone would bother the heat. He's my favorite person in that organization and he honestly has more of a reason to be

more frustrated than anybody considering what they talked to him about in off seasons all these pursuit of superstars and he just keeps making finals. And he keeps developing players into $15 million a year. Players. Okay. He's awesome. I mean, do you realize how lucky this franchise is to just have Riley, Stan Van Gundy and Spowe? They're the basketball Steelers.

They've had like three coaches and no disrespect Kevin Locker. And he still looks great. He still just looks fantastic. The hair's looking good. It's just, he's perfect. That's a great haircut for him. Put it on the pole, please, Juju. Can you say they've only had three coaches?

No disrespect to Kevin Lockery. Lock? Who's the fourth of those coaches? He's a teeny tiny gentry. The Dan Laptop Show was to got his sponsor by BetterHelp. Fourth of those coaches.
