It's part of my take to satisfy a farm, stool, school. Welcome to part of my take to identify money lion. Bank borrow, invest and grow all in one app. Money Lion.

I'm going to go download it right now in the app store. Today is Wednesday, June 30th. And I just want to do the prices right. Boom, boom, boom.

Wow. That's what the NBA playoffs have become. Yannes, I don't know. He broke his leg ACL, everything.

Dr. David PFT says, I personally think it's an MCL becat. Yeah. I think he may have escaped without an ACL.

But whatever it is, his ligaments are not made out of ligaments. They're made out of like rubber bands because it's crazy. Like my leg would have my body would have just blown up. I mean, it's given up at that point.

Should be like a horse. Yeah, if that happens to me. Tar pal, Trey Young wasn't even playing in this game. Is LeBron James correct?

Will LeBron James do another Instagram post saying he's correct? That's a definite. I'd actually say that it might we should give credit to Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller was mega right about wrestling the players.

Yeah, you should just the new formula should be you signed star players. And then you just try to win all the playoff series against inferior teams with your role guys and then you put your stars back into the finals. Yes. And I listen, Reggie Miller, maybe has never seen a catastrophic knee injury.

Not saying that's what you on his ad, but you can walk with an ACL. You can walk. You can walk if you tear your ACL. You can walk if you what you can.

Like he was he was saying, oh my God, he's walking off that. That means nothing. Yeah, that means nothing. He's on the bench like jumping around.

Trey Young is jumping around. I still believe and I know that this has now become. There's so many guys injured that this is. It's the weirdest playoffs ever.

Now that Chris Paul is the Chris Paul and Paul George are the healthiest guys out there, but Kevin heard a lot of these guys, a lot of these injuries are kind of freak injuries that I don't know if it has anything to do with playing the season with short and rest off of the bubble. I just think there's a lot of freak injuries. They've happened all at once. Who knows?

But it sucks. It's a bummer. The box. It's just a fucking bummer.

And I know that everyone was already saying like, oh, these playoffs are the best teams are, you know, the Lakers got injured, the Nets got injured. It doesn't really count. It's still an NBA title. If the box had gone through and won the NBA title, like that still counts.

No one gives a fuck about who else is injured. It sucks when you have this happen. And now they're showing the walking, the deer district. People got to be pretty bummed out.

The dojo. And I think, honest, right now, so we're watching this with five minutes left in the game. And he's sitting on the bench and I respect what he's doing. He's basically in his head.

He's probably like, if I can just sit on this bench and not have the doctors look at my knee, maybe when I get up and when I stand up, I'll be OK. I've done that many times. Just like my back and my ankles where I've hurt them. And then I sat down and I'm like, you know what?

If I just chill out for a minute, like when I get back up in 20 minutes from now, I'm going to be fine. I'm currently doing that with my kidneys. I've been doing that with my kidneys for the last two months. I just I had one follow up appointment, which I went to.

And the guy was like, I got to be honest. These are some of the most fucked up kidneys I've ever seen. It's bad. Yeah.

He's like, sit down, son. And then I just said, you know what? A great way to avoid getting any further bad news is just stop talking to doctors. Yeah.

So I just I just go to work every day, like, and I pretend like nothing's wrong. And then once every three weeks, I get a stabbing pain in my side. I'm like, well, body's taking care of itself. So with any luck, if John just stops going to doctors, you can never be diagnosed with an injury.

So I mean, side tangent off of that is I really do think that we're a big enough company now that we should have a team doctor at partial sports who just sits upstairs and you can just walk in and be like, Hey, I can't even say my back hurts. Yeah. Now how quickly that would become? Hey, the team doctor partial sports prescribed legally prescribed everything.

I can't say probably pretty quickly. But we should have a team doctor back to the game. I do think the Hawks would have I think kind of we're going to win this game without the honest getting hurt. Like I know Hank just sitting there just saying game after every mid shot.

I that was pre injury. The Hawks were playing like a spirited like, Hey, we're coming out here. Everyone in the world thinks we have no chance of Trey young fuck the world. Lou Williams going off like I don't know.

I thought they were going to win this game. It felt like they were going to win this game before you got hurt. I got to say watching Trey young jump up and down. He gives me like Lydaney and Tomlin on the sideline vibes.

Remember that? I think that was when Phil Rivers was actually playing with the 20s. Which you can't do. Yeah, I mean, Phil Rivers is not really a run first quarter back, but he was still playing in the the FC Championship game with it.

That's what like Trey young he's a very animated for a guy with. The sidelines. Yeah. So he's playing the rest of the game.

Deep bone. Deep bone. If you have to ask the question is Atlanta better without Trey young because you got I mean Kevin Herder dude, you know, he's the logo of his high school. His high school changed their logo to like a wet of Kevin Herder after he graduated.

Yeah, I mean, he should be the new NBA logo. I love Kevin Herder. Kevin Herder. Um, Lou Williams, Lou Williams been on fire as well.

I think he's yeah, I do want to give a shout out to the PJ Tucker though. Did you see his jersey tonight? It looked he had like a little tear right down the middle of it. Like he was ready to go Hulk Hogan.

Yeah. And he gave him second. Unfortunately, they're losing by 24 points. I'm not going to do that.

Yeah, this is, um, I don't know what I like what imagine if the box, imagine if we watch a finals with the box with no Giannis or the, I do think Trey will be back just by like you said, like he's jumping up on the side. And I think he'll be back. I think so for the rest of the series. And then we have on the other side, the never say die Clippers who look, we're sons podcast, but credit where credit is due.

The Clippers are fucking tough ass team. Like they just don't quit. And Tyler needs all the deserves all the credit in the world for being a really good coach that everyone kind of has clowned on myself included. And Paul George, you know, he still playoff Pete.

We're not going to link. You can't let him off the hook for what was it? Yeah. I was like the most in NBA history.

One game doesn't erase that, but one game you do have to give him a lot of credit for going into, you know, Phoenix, putting up 30 in the second half playing an unbelievable game. And the Clippers just don't die. The problem with playoff P is that he never plays a good game where he hasn't had any moments where he doesn't suck. Yeah.

So he always has even in his best of games. He always kind of stinks for about a minute. So it's a ball around or something. Yeah, he looks like gas at the air balls or free throw or like bricks three in a row from the line.

He's cousins. Yeah. I think you got Pope the eye. I think Capella's right now.

Would you? Oh, another one. If they had been arresting, that never would have happened. I actually think that we should blame LeBron for these injuries because because, okay, so let's take LeBron as word.

It was his idea to try to arrest people more, right? Yeah. Sounds like he didn't do a good enough job leading and building a coalition to get more people to agree with him. Listen, leadership is about accountability.

And if you're LeBron James, you are the leader of the NBA players, right? I know technically Chris Paul is the head of the NBA, but Chris Paul answers to LeBron James clearly. Yes. So LeBron, Jacuzz, I don't think that you got to play a thing about yourself.

The only issue, I mean, look, it's weird how many people have been injured, but LeBron, he's made all of his money. He has so much fucking money. I just think that when you tell like, hey, the rest of the guys, like we should have had a longer rest, there's, there's serious dollars that are at stake here. If you're not playing or if you're playing a significantly shortened season, guys don't get paid as much.

Like salary cap goes down. I don't know. I just think it's a little bit harder when it's coming from LeBron. I know I'm just taking an excuse to try to pin this on LeBron.

Yeah. Not doing a good enough job making his point. I listen, I'm very much one of the NBA fans and really I care. I root for ratings.

So I want markets to do well. Yes. If people aren't watching the games, that to me is the biggest loss of all. Yeah.

I think that at this point with all the stars that are injured, you could get more people to watch them play in a wheelchair basketball game than to watch like let's call it a Clippers Hawks finals. Either way, though, the race room screwed this year because of the July. Yeah, July definitely. That's automatic out.

Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Regardless of it was LeBron versus that's like I think the ratings still probably would have been down. I think people would watch a wheelchair game just because it would be different.

I'd watch one game. Yeah. I don't know if that would be, you know, like appropriating. Yeah, definitely.

Yeah, sure. Yeah, I think you did that when you did the scooter. Yeah, I did. I absolutely did.

But like my body's not. Kyrie or Trey Young, Deep Own Bruce needs a wheelchair. Yeah. I don't think I would fly.

Paul Pierce should himself. Yeah, I don't think that would fly. Where you say Jake? To your point earlier, Tyler, ten and two in his career, one facing elimination.

It's crazy. It started with the three one. And there are certain teams that like their coach instills that type of toughness like scrappiness. That is the Clippers.

Like they everything in your body tells you that the Clippers are dead man walking their best players out. They're going to Phoenix. Phoenix has got a chance for the finals for the first time in like almost 30 years at home. And they just go in there.

There was a moment to in the third or fourth quarter where it felt like the Clippers were totally gassed and they just kept on fighting. Ready Jackson, by the way, like that guy when he went on that eight-o-run with a dunk, he is he's fucking awesome. He's like everything you want from that guy. Just a spark plug guy who comes in and is like, hey, we can rely on him to just get insanely hot for a few minutes in Korea.

So yeah, the Clippers deserve a lot of credit. I would think wins this year. I do think it would be very funny. We are sons podcast.

It would be very funny. Chris Paul blew another three on lead. I think the Sun's still going to win in the one year. I did everyone's hurt except Chris Paul.

Yeah, I think I would be funny. I think the Sun's are still going to win where Sun's podcast. I think it's going to be Sun's Hawks and a Sun's in four. Sun's in four.

Sun's Hawks, Sun's in four. So about Chris Paul, that floppy hat last night, he's going to get hurt flopping. He's a danger to himself because he loves flopping so much. But the best part about that flop was it was a true internet mean come to life that he flopped.

And I was sitting in the office with the Spint and Chicklets guys. As he was flopping, the Brendan Gallagher getting his face smashed into the ice and blood everywhere was happening in the coming final game. It was like so perfect that those happened almost like the exact same time. And I don't know the lightning or an absolute wagon.

I have actually a paragraph on Riti real quick. This is a true hockey guy paragraph. So this is from the Montreal Gazette from Stu Cowan. He wrote about Brendan Gallagher.

He's just like William Wallace. The late 13th century Scottish warrior that the 1995 film Braveheart was based on with Wallace leading the Scots in the first war of Scottish independence against England's King Edward. If they ever do a remake of Braveheart, which won the best picture award in the 1996 Academy Awards, Gallagher could replace Mel Gibson, the lead role playing Wallace. I fucking love it.

I love hockey guys. That's a real news paper wrote that. I don't want that movie. Good boy.

They fought like warrior poets. They fought like Scotsman. They won their freedoms. Speaking of that, that's the Canadian's because they seriously think they probably will get shit pumped by the lightning.

Well, no, they could come back and when someone's dick is getting cut off at the end, that's all that we know for sure. Yes. But yeah, I mean, the lightning looked like they're almost unbeatable. But I do feel like we should take some time to point out the fact that the lightning, the cap gymnastics on the part of the lightning.

But I have no problem with that. We talked about it with Biz. Yeah, cap gymnastics. I mean, that's the rules.

I just like, talk about the same thing. They're capping. Listen, hey, I found one way to make an excuse out of my prediction of the Canadians winning. And that's just like putting all my eggs in the these guys cheap by exploding the cap rules basket.

So that's what I'm going to stick with it. But we when we had Biz on, like the only time he was coherent was talking about or maybe was with Whitney talking about exactly this that like, what are you going to do? You can't. It's the rules.

The the Black Ox did in 2015. Now that was a little different because Patrick King got hurt in the season. They did it where who is it? Kucharov was just out all year and then they brought him back.

But the rules are stupid. Like the rules are stupid that there's no sour cat doesn't count the playoffs. Also, is that and it's also if you have players that are good enough to get like if you can get to the playoffs with some of your stars injured that you're paying a lot of money to, then that benefits you. So that just means that the rest of your team is really good.

And then you can get those superstars back and their money doesn't necessarily count. The rules are the rules. So the rules are the rules. And I also think that if if you're in the NHL, they're so bad at doing everything related to governing the game, you could just have a bunch of star players and pay them too much money and probably never get caught.

It's like the Rams trading draft picks that might not even exist. You can just you can just lie. You can just say, okay, we're only paying this person this much money. And I don't think that the NHL has like an investigative force that will come by and look at the the right.

So the Canadians, it looks like it's gonna be a tough one for them. I mean, the lightning, everyone was predicting the Canadians. And by the way, it's a couple of people say I say that wrong. I put a little French into it.

I think that's what you should do. Yeah. Little Canadian. We they everyone was predicting their demise for the last two rounds.

I think maybe this is the time that they've truly met their match. Yeah, I'll happily can only get you so far. The lightning are just fucking good. They're really fucking good.

And fuck their like Greg speaking of French. We talk a little soccer. We from the other is just we did a little bit of Swiss in Daniel who was this week's our favorite 19 year old is the goat for all the wrong reasons. That was a wild two wild games on Monday.

Strong pains for a hero. This is for the year. This is for the year. Yeah.

Yeah. Every four years. It's the two years when there's not the world cup. Yeah, it's a year.

So at the same time as the Euro is happening, the Copa in South America is happening. It was funny because Hank was like, you're like, I'm so over soccer. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I was never under.

Yeah, I was sure under. But you did say it today. You said it today when Monday had objectively like maybe the craziest day of international soccer ever in terms of how crazy both those games were. They were insane.

The England fans were cool today. I'll give them that. I don't want to be soccer. He don't want something.

I just say it doesn't do it. No, it's not. I'm happy. He's coming off his own culture.

Yeah, it's true. Someone did say that when I talk soccer, they were like, you sound so much smarter. I was like, thank you really bring it down the like sophistication level of this podcast. You're a football podcast football.

Right now. And yeah, it's coming home. I like England. The problem with England is right now they look convincing and they're winning against Germany.

Now they have expectations. They're the favorites to win. And that's a very bad place for England to be. We'll get into it a little bit with Roger Bennett, which we recorded like two weeks ago.

Yeah, before any of this. But now there's severe expectations on England. And that is prime like Harry Kane is going to miss a penalty kick. Never in this game.

He's going to skype like Bajio hit the moon with it. It is great how it seems like it's just 95% dudes and stands just going fucking ballistic. Yeah, the last. It's just taking their tops off fucking check, I think maybe.

No, the Swiss guy. No, but there was no, but I'm saying like the Swiss guy was electric. The entire, it might have been Croatia or Czech, but whatever, they like they went to it and it was every guy had their top off and none of them should be tops off. Like they were all 30 to 40 pounds overweight, but they were just vibing out together.

That sounds like Czechoslovakia. Yeah, I think Croatia, if you saw them, a lot of those dudes are in shape. They got, yeah, we could get ready for it. Yeah, that's true.

Yeah, we could. We should do grid week, yeah, we could. There was a brief second where I was like, I'm going to do yacht week. And I realized I'm not attractive or in shape ever to do yacht week.

Like yacht week is the week that you show up to because you saw commercial on Instagram. And you're like, all right, so when does the fucking start? Oh, I'm here. You shouldn't have signed up for this.

My body's here. We're going to stash you under. Like fucking Leo in the Titanic down on like the fourth day. There should definitely be somebody that's like the Navy, the Croatian Navy should be in charge of policing the waters.

Just make sure to know on hot people. Yeah, right. You're too ugly. Get out of here.

Go over to Greece. No, Greece is hot. Yeah, Greece hot. Harry, but Harry.

Harry, Harry, Harry. Very hot. And listen, I love the Greeks. Yes.

Great lemon soup. Great. I love. I love.

John is John is great ligaments. Great economy. Yeah. Yeah.

Good system of government sick in 2000 years of pictures in that one hotel with like the white roofs. They got great blues. Good blue colors over there. That's true.

It's an experience like oh shit. They let the cheese on fire. Pete Sampras. Pete Sampras.

Very very hairy. I would say. Wait, was Jimmy the Greek Jimmy the Greek? No, it's about.

What do you got? I think Agassie may have been from like. What? Mythology.

Ones got to go. Zeus Poseidon, Nike Hercules. Nike is a god. Oh yeah.

Achilles. Achilles was what? He was a Greek god, right? Yeah.

Yeah. My god. He's an Olympian. Achilles.

No. I love Poseidon. Achilles was injury prone. Yeah.

He got fucked up on his leg. He was the original like the playoffs were kind of ruined once he got taken out. Oh, Zeus. Why do we mention Zeus?

Yeah. No. Wait, what was it again? I think I said Zeus Poseidon Nike Achilles.

Achilles. Achilles. Yeah. I got to go.

Why? I got to go. See you. Listen, it's a producer from your best abilities availability.

Okay. Smoke. Wasn't a do so smoke. No, it's a bad chick with octopus.

It's a chick that's like down at hand, you know, like one of the guys. Those who gaze into her eyes would turn to stone. To Medusa? Yeah.

Damn. That's a hard core. Wait, yeah. Hold on.

Yeah. Because if I were to hypothetically say something like that to Miley Cyrus, he'd be like, Miley look me in the eye and turn my entire body to granite. I would get bonked. That's like an Anthony Wiener text being like, you're so hot babe, I just turned into stone.

Yeah. All right. I don't know how we got here. Yeah.

Greeks. That was our Euro top. You're talking about 2020, which I liked it. They're doing that by the way.

Jiro 2020. I actually had a moment today. I was like, is it 2020? No, I just liked the Olympics.

They're doing it again this year. It's 2020. Like you should just, everyone should just lie. The last year didn't happen.

Yeah. It is a medical. Yeah. All right.

We were about to do Hot SQL from, but we thought of a couple others. Stavros from come town. Great Greek. Greece the movie.

Socrates. I think is one of those dudes that would just eat grapes at the pool and fuck boys. Yeah, he got arrested for corrupting the Jews like 3000 years ago. Oh, you're okay with it.

No, but I don't know. Wait. You're talking about Socrates like this was his pre-woke period. Like oh, he's evolved.

My hot seat is Craig Engels. And the only reason he's on the hot seat is really, just because of a big cat. You didn't do anything wrong. Only crime he committed was just having a big cat join his bandwagon and then mostly him in the fourth place on Monday night.

All time. Is that the kind of cat? Is that the kind of cat? It looks like Kenny Bowers of the mullet.

He was like an Olympic hopeful. Everyone was saying he's gonna make it. He's gonna make it. He was racing at 1 a.m.

after recording on Sunday. That was what he did. I was up between him out and going crazy. And he came in fourth.

But I told him qualified. But Hank, I won place. I specifically told you that I was going to go to sleep, pretend that he qualified and just forget everything and hope that he just showed up at the Olympics. And last night, first alternate?

Well, so there's, I got, this was Sunday night. Just say his first alternate. Again, home. And so I see it.

So this guy like, You got a fucking race. You got like bumped out. It was really his fault. It was really his fault.

So like three days before, someone had tweeted about it. I was like, this guy fucking rocks. He drove to the meet in an RV. I was like, I'm a Craig Angles guy.

And then I'm laying in bed about to go to sleep. And someone tweets me like, dude, you staying up for your boy Craig Angles in 15 minutes. I was like, God damn it. So I stayed up.

I was like Craig Angles, let's go. He fucking finishes fourth. And then there's some, these track nerds are telling me like there's this rule that you have to run a fast time to get the standard. But then there's all these points.

Basically I just didn't sleep on Sunday night cause I was trying to figure out track rules. Fuck track rules. Free my man Craig Angles. I feel like it should just be in terms of qualification.

Just take like the fastest 10 times in the world. I also think that Craig Angles, this guy could make a shitload of money. Just hustling people. If you made it to the Olympics.

Like no, no, not even any, I'm saying like just being like a sandbagger, just showing up places. Like he's got his RV. He's got a runner's body. Yeah, but he steps up his RV wearing jeans.

And like a jacket and smoking a cigarette. He's like, you want to race. There's a lot of race hustlers out there. I think it could be the start of an industry.

Just like, hey man, you want to race me? 100 bucks on the table right now. Let's do it. I would say no, you look way faster than that.

You missed the point where he's wearing jeans in like a long. I would still not race any one hundred dollars. And off the RV. I was very unfortunate.

I felt very bad. I really wish he made the Olympics. But I'm sure he's got a really nice job set up at Home Depot. Isn't that like all the Olympics?

The Olympics all have jobs. They only give you jobs there if you make the team. It's like a hard dealership in college town. Craig, we will give you a job.

Barcel Sports, you can start as an intern. This is really offensive now to Craig Angles. And then last night, the sons were coming back. I think they were within one possession.

There was like 94, 98. Big heads had the Clippers look down. And then they went on a run and just blew the game out of water. Never wasn't that.

Also, with the right after that, please. Travelers opened the eight playoffs. And I was like, I think I'm rooting for the screamer dude. And he lost like two minutes later.

So yeah, it's whatever. Whatever. My cool throw was the lads, also Sopranos. Yeah.

The trailer for the new movie. I thought it was a TV show. That's a movie. It's a little bit worrisome.

I don't know. Where is that? Where are you? I just feel like it's going to be hard.

The TV show is so good because you can extend the episodes, make it long, have it played out over seven seasons. Sometimes they try and compact it all in two hours. It's worrisome. But James Gandolfini's son is playing.

James Gandolf, Tony Soprano. Young's son, Tony Soprano. Look exactly like him. Same manners and stuff.

I read an interview where he's. That's wild. He didn't watch the show until he did the audition. Really?

Yeah. Like he's like, I remember it. I remember obviously my dad being around and doing the show and I was a little kid. But I never watched it or anything until I was doing the audition.

It was super sad because I had to watch my dad the whole time. So this is a prequel to what happened to Spreanos. I saw the trailer for it. I loved every second of it, except is there a way where I can just fast forward any scene that Tony's mom's in?

It's just like she just reminds me too much. She's the most annoying character. Well, she's younger. I mean, she's already like going.

Maybe they'll CGI her again. Yeah. Maybe that would be. Yeah, I mean, she died real life.

That's why they see you either. Spoilers. Right. Yeah.

Shall I go? Yeah. OK. My hot seat is sexism.

Sexism is on the hot seat because the Washington football team hired a female co-CEO today. So they're two CEOs right now, Danciders 1. And then they have a female co-CEO that they hired. So it's just like, let's get the best person working here, regardless of their gender.

It's a meritocracy in the NFL. So I'm very excited. I'll say it's a long balloon face. The Washington football team is doing what needs to be done to win in the NFL.

It's a lead up to go. And it's Danciders' wife. There it is. So I love that it.

We had a long interview process for it. And I think we have to do we have to take Danciders' man card for sure. Oh, you're going to share the team with your wife, bro? It's like what company is two CEOs?

Johnson and Johnson. That's true. Mike and Mike. That's true now.

Nine more. The property brothers. Yep. All right.

That is true. All the great organizations. It's a long list. You got out there.

Yeah, that was very funny that it was like trending. I was like, wait, they hired a, oh, OK. Yeah. So I don't know it's probably not going to make a single bit of difference.

Depending on what happens with the report that's eventually going to come out. Or maybe they're just pulling what we do with a doctor. And they're just never going to put the report out that they commissioned. Yes.

But depending on what they say in that, it might be way for Danciders to be like, I've transitioned the role of CEO to my wife. It would be also my wife. If he made his wife the fall guy. Yeah.

Like just set her up to then take all the blame. She can't testify against him. There he is. I've been in wife.

Yeah. So yeah. My other hot seat is Pouscheisty. Pouscheisty the rapper.

I'm sure you're all familiar with him. Hank. Yeah. So he got arrested because he was committing a robbery down in Miami.

And he brought his own money to the robbery as one does. He had a bag filled with $100 bills. And he dropped the bag out of his rental car during the robbery where he shot a guy. And then they took the bag.
