00:00All righty, time for the crossover brought to you by Bay Alarm. Rest easy. We've got you covered. Bayalarm.com.
00:06Let's welcome in Willard and Dibbs.
00:08Gentlemen, what is going on? How about that Argentina game?
00:15Yeah, I mean...
00:16Yeah, where's the pizza?
00:17Spectacular.
00:18It's in the other room.
00:18It's being eaten.
00:19Oh, okay.
00:19Yeah.
00:20In increments.
00:21You guys go get some.
00:22In waves.
00:23I want to make sure that the winner of the bet ate first.
00:26And then released the house.
00:28I actually went three slices.
00:29I thought two would be the call, but then I went for a third.
00:32And I thought, you know what?
00:33I really want a fourth, but four is unnecessary.
00:36Sounds like you liked it early.
00:38I liked it in the middle, too, and also late.
00:40And, I mean, Mark Willard, he lost a bet many years ago and brought in breakfast burritos,
00:46which were a five out of five.
00:47And this time he loses a bet, and he brings in pizza.
00:50And he brought enough to where the tier two eaters, you, and probably not Stiney,
00:55because he's not a big scoop and score eater guy.
00:58But eventually it'll be put out to Gen Pop, and the tier three eaters will come in.
01:03But that's Mark Willard.
01:04He's a very generous guy.
01:06Did you lose a bet?
01:07I did.
01:07What was it?
01:08On the match.
01:09Argentina versus England.
01:10Oh, okay.
01:11Yeah, you weren't here yesterday.
01:11This is one of those that I sometimes, especially when it's something like that,
01:17the worst thing that could happen is you pay for the pizza.
01:19If not, you eat the pizza free, I'm going to bet based on what I'm rooting for.
01:25Because it'll just make me root that much harder.
01:27I didn't have any X's and O's reason why I thought England would beat Argentina.
01:31I just wanted him to.
01:33My kid has become a big Jude Bellingham fan.
01:36By the way, he asked for the jersey anyway.
01:38Right.
01:38Just stuck it on his Christmas list.
01:40As long as he didn't walk over to you and slap you.
01:42No.
01:43Like the other Jude did to the Argentine player.
01:46Yeah.
01:46And then you see the back story.
01:48Apparently, the guy who got slapped when they took the lead,
01:51he sprinted off the sideline and got right in Bellingham's face and did the trash talk.
01:57But that whole thing, that whole match was trash talk and dirty fouls.
02:01And there is, what, 100 years of history between the two nations or more?
02:04They were chippy three minutes in yesterday.
02:07Three minutes in, they were on each other.
02:09So, yeah, a lot on the line.
02:12Yeah, and when those two countries get together,
02:14you can not only throw the records out, but you can throw everything else out.
02:17Because, you know, England, the invaders against Argentina,
02:22the people who got invaded upon.
02:25So, a lot of times, there's more personal stuff at play.
02:29I don't know if that'll be the case, Stiney, with Spain and Argentina.
02:33I'm not sure if Spain, you know, Columbus or Vasco de Gama,
02:37if they rolled up in the 16th century and, you know, did what they did to Argentina.
02:42I have to do the history on that, but the England-Argentina one was fresh enough
02:46to where there's still some bad blood.
02:49Gotcha.
02:50It was a great game.
02:51It was very entertaining.
02:52It was.
02:53Very entertaining.
02:53Very stressful.
02:55Well, final 20 minutes.
02:56It is pretty amazing how soccer can just kind of go,
02:59na, na, na, boom, boom.
03:02Night, night.
03:03Night, night.
03:03Night, night.
03:04And I couldn't help but think about Kyle Shanahan watching that
03:07and them being in front of New England 28-3,
03:11and he was the coordinator, but Thomas Tuchel, the England manager,
03:17he has taken on all kinds of heat.
03:19And you know what?
03:20You're the head guy, so you should take that heat.
03:23But I was just thinking about being up 1-0 at the 85th minute,
03:27and, you know, it's a little bit less time than what Shanahan and the Falcons did,
03:31but I was just thinking about other, like, famous blown leads.
03:34Who is England's offensive coordinator?
03:37Because that would be how Kyle is remembered.
03:40Yeah, great call.
03:40I just always think it's funny that he's the guy who is blamed for the loss.
03:45And I get it.
03:46You know, they kind of sat on the ball.
03:48What do they call it?
03:48Park the bus?
03:49Is that what they do in soccer?
03:50Yeah, so they decided to park the bus.
03:53But whoever the D.C. is for England, no one's going to remember his name.
03:57If there even is one, you know.
04:00Facetiously a defensive coordinator.
04:01And just one eight-second quip about the Shanahan thing.
04:05When he got the ball back as the offensive coordinator to blow the lead,
04:09it was already 28-9.
04:11So he actually didn't have the ball as the O.C. at 28-3.
04:15It was 28-9.
04:16So there you go.
04:17Oh, I got you.
04:18It was 13 seconds.
04:19Right.
04:20But I counted.
04:23So LeBron.
04:24Look at you.
04:24LeBron talked today.
04:25Yeah, he sure did.
04:26Yeah, he shut it down in 13 seconds.
04:30Apparently Halliburton was a Reese.
04:33Yeah, that was just like, so they were at this Fanatics event,
04:36taping this podcast, and apparently talked about it in the back
04:39that they were not going to discuss free agency.
04:41And so naturally Tyrese Halliburton, as the younger brother of the Olympic squad,
04:44says, hey, what's going on?
04:46Any decisions yet?
04:47Yeah, we're not talking about that.
04:49We discussed it in the back.
04:50Like, okay, so Lakers, how do you feel?
04:55I don't, like, why did he do it today?
04:58That's what I'm trying to figure.
04:59Why did he go speak and record this podcast publicly?
05:03I guess we sort of talked about this at a different angle late yesterday.
05:09Could you ask why did Steph Curry go on Good Morning America before the ESPYs?
05:16Just his summer tour?
05:17Yeah, so I think he was also going to be receiving the Muhammad Ali award
05:22later that night.
05:23Yeah, but, like, he said no.
05:26I don't know how, what's the word?
05:31Like strategic all of this stuff is, or if it's just happenstance,
05:35it does feel like we're building towards something.
05:39And the fact that so many warrior pieces of the puzzle keep finding their way
05:46to the public space right now, whether it be Steph Curry's on GMA,
05:51Draymond feels like he's doing a podcast a day right now and went on vacation
05:54with him.
05:55Steve Kerr decided to roll the window down.
05:57Like, whatever, and LeBron is doing the, I don't know.
06:00I don't know.
06:00Are we building towards something, or is it all coincidence?
06:04I think we're building towards something.
06:06I don't know.
06:06But Calci thinks that it means that the Warriors are going to sign him.
06:10They are slowly creeping up in the percentages as far as who is going to land him.
06:16And, you know, we had LJ Cryer on yesterday who was terrific.
06:19And, you know, he kind of talked in a vacuum about what it would mean.
06:22But if you're LeBron and you really don't want to confront any of it,
06:27then you don't go out and do a podcast and you don't have your agent ask for voice memos
06:33and all the rest of it.
06:34So I think he does this today just so we can say we're not talking about that
06:38as a way to, like, keep his name out there.
06:42You have any, you think it'll happen soon?
06:44No.
06:45No.
06:45God, no.
06:46Like, well, today.
06:48It's a fine soon.
06:49Next week.
06:50Oh, next week, yeah.
06:51Like, in the next week.
06:53Yes.
06:53I mean, today is, like, today is kind of the last day of not much going on.
06:58And then tomorrow is a news dump.
07:00I do think what Evan said about, like, being an international enemy might be a little strong.
07:05But I do think that the weekend is not the time when you're going to be LeBron
07:09and you're going to do this thing.
07:11Monday will be World Cup reacts.
07:13You get to, like, Tuesday or Wednesday.
07:15Yeah.
07:16It's a little bit more of a soft spot.
07:17And I think that's when it's going to happen.
07:20Interesting.
07:20Yeah, I mean, it feels like if he indeed knows what he's doing or where he's going,
07:25you know, I just wonder kind of what the hang-up is at this point.
07:29It just, I don't know, I was telling Stein earlier, I just, I have to imagine there's
07:33something else happening behind the scenes.
07:35And I don't know if it's, you know, bidding or he's got to work out exactly how he gets
07:40to and from L.A.
07:42Maybe if he's going to move his family and all that kind of stuff.
07:45Just sort of logistics, like personal logistics.
07:49Maybe that's the only thing that's waiting at this point.
07:52But I just thought it was interesting that he went to New York and the first thing he
07:55did was shut everything down.
07:57But the one thing that he, I guess you could kind of take and run with, he was talking about
08:02how people who have referred to him as a player who makes a team a play-in team.
08:08Yep.
08:08Like, he refuted that.
08:10Sure.
08:11And, which is, you know, totally understandable.
08:12He's a competitor.
08:13He took offense to it.
08:14Yeah.
08:14He's like, that's not what I'm here to do.
08:16Right.
08:17Which I find interesting because either that means that if he's coming to Golden
08:21State, he thinks that they can be a playoff team or maybe the Warriors aren't on his radar
08:26because they're more competitive squads.
08:28I would think that he thinks that his addition would make the Warriors a playoff team.
08:33I think they're a playoff team.
08:35I know that it's easy to be like, nope, they're all going to get hurt.
08:37But we don't know that just because it just, you know, they'd be old.
08:41I mean, it's LeBron James.
08:44It's still.
08:45He's got a good amount left.
08:46It's still LeBron James.
08:47He has an effect.
08:48And I think that was, that was kind of his point.
08:53But, see, I took that as a good sign for the Warriors.
08:56I don't, the other options that are out there, I don't hear people say that that would be a
09:00play-in team with him on it.
09:02No one says that about Cleveland or Philly or Miami, do they?
09:05No, and I think that the holdup now is what you guys played earlier, which is the Luke
09:11Cornette voice memo.
09:12Because, I mean, if you're LeBron and you have a chance to stay in his guest room and,
09:17you know, chase number five while they're trying to chase number six and play with a
09:21generational talent and also Victor Wenbanyama, that's very tempting.
09:25It's exciting.
09:26Yeah.
09:26It would be.
09:27There was an update today.
09:29Give it to me.
09:30The Pacers have been eliminated.
09:32From the sweepstakes?
09:33Yes.
09:34Wow.
09:35Tyrese Halliburton said he made a recruiting attempt to bring LeBron to Indiana even before
09:41the Lakers news came out.
09:43LeBron responded to the text with two LOL emojis.
09:48Ah, boy.
09:49So the Pacers have been eliminated from the race.
09:52Man.
09:53Crushing.
09:54Well, and quietly they were eliminated a while ago.
09:56Well.
09:56And we didn't know it.
09:57Probably.
09:58Didn't he also respond is on Instagram because you're talking about how other people have
10:03looked at particular teams.
10:06Someone was clipped talking about how the Heat are still a play-in team with LeBron.
10:12And he added some crying face emojis to that clip on his Instagram.
10:18So, you know, again, I think it's, I don't know if he's got his mind made up or if he
10:23doesn't, but it's, he clearly still thinks that he has a lot left.
10:28And, you know, but again, that doesn't that kind of fly in the face of whatever Rich Paul's
10:32been pushing that he just wants to be happy and is not worried about the money.
10:37Well, LeBron actually, I think does want to be happy, but being happy is connected with
10:43competing and not just going out without a playoff exit.
10:47Agreed.
10:47And I do think part of being happy is being happy in April and hopefully May.
10:51And if things go well, June, but you don't have that situation everywhere.
10:56And I know Luke Cornett was rattling off all the attractions in San Antonio, which I thought
11:01was pretty hilarious.
11:02No Alamo.
11:03No, no, and no Riverwalk either, but he was doing more of the, uh, you know, around the,
11:08uh, the backdoor sort of attractions, but I'm fascinated by what LeBron really wants.
11:14Yeah.
11:14You want to compete, you want to be happy, but I can't help but think that this idea of a
11:18documentary is playing very heavy in all of the negotiations.
11:24You're listening to 95.7, the game KGMZ FM and HD one, San Francisco and Odyssey sports
11:29station, always live on the free Odyssey app and now broadcasting from the laughing monk
11:33studios.
11:35Um, I mean, to me, the best documentary would be if he comes here.
11:39Right.
11:40Obviously.
11:41Um, I do think it, it just is weird that Ron James will come to the warriors and then
11:48it's just like, whoa, you know, like he'll take over with this document, not take over,
11:54but he's just going to become a warrior for the first time.
11:58And everything's going to change for everybody just with the media attention, the camera.
12:05I mean, it's going to get, especially if he also announces it's his last season, right?
12:10The last prints, as some have called it the last one, the last print.
12:14We, I thought we killed that.
12:15Yes.
12:15You keep trying, but apparently we shot and missed.
12:19Yeah.
12:19That, that, uh, little slogan is still on the, on the venerator now.
12:23All right.
12:23Well, you can leave it in at the end of Cornette's, uh, voice memo.
12:26And it might be like the last chance, his last chance at a title, but it's more of a prance
12:31than a chance to me, but I'll leave it alone.
12:33I know it's wildly unpopular and I'm alone.
12:35I'm on an Island.
12:37Shout out to Alcatraz.
12:38And then Rich Paul said he's not ring chasing.
12:40So yeah, I guess it was, we were going through the teams earlier.
12:42If he really wanted to ring chase, like where would, where would you go?
12:47Signing throughout Philly.
12:48I mean, if he, well, if he was in Antonio, well, this is what I think take a minimum
12:51with San Antonio.
12:52If you want to ring the city.
12:53Yeah.
12:54Yes.
12:54And, or even I would put the Knicks there.
12:56Sure.
12:57Like if he would go to the Knicks, that would be like, I want to win a title.
13:00Yeah.
13:00Um, I think Philly, I don't like, I think Philly's got a chance at a ring, but believe it
13:07or not, I don't think that would be ring chasing like for whatever reason this year, it's nobody's
13:14going to give the title to Philly.
13:16If LeBron goes there, you know what I mean?
13:18But if he denounced these, if he announces, he's going to San Antonio tomorrow, it's like
13:23this thing might be over for the next year.
13:26You know what I mean?
13:27What is your poll of Philly fans right now?
13:31Because I heard earlier when you're like, it was a three to two and I wasn't sure if it
13:34was three, four and two against, and then you guys did a whole thing about Philly and
13:39I'm with you, Evan, on why he wouldn't go there because you're a sour, bitter people,
13:43but I'm just wondering what the poll numbers are right now.
13:47Um, cause you pulled 12 of your Philly.
13:50And I've gotten eight responses.
13:51Okay, good.
13:52Six, one M two don't.
13:54Oh, wow.
13:54That's actually pretty good.
13:55Yep.
13:56All right.
13:57Maybe I was wrong about Philly.
13:58Maybe LeBron was, does want the smoke.
14:00So, I mean, they would probably be, I mean, they have to be the favorites, but they're
14:08also a team that hasn't played together.
14:10Uh, oh, in the East, do you mean?
14:11Yeah.
14:11Yeah.
14:12I think, yeah.
14:13And maybe for all the NBA, just cause you know, they don't have to go through another San
14:16Antonio or Oklahoma city.
14:17I just wondered too, if, you know, if you're LeBron and you're looking around, okay.
14:22So title number five certainly gets you something, but if you go to Philly, don't you kind of
14:30become the villain again?
14:31And I do wonder if LeBron is all right.
14:35Donning that Cape.
14:36Whereas if he comes to golden state, which I think it's not about factoring into the
14:40documentary, but your role is that more of a hero because you're aligning yourself with
14:46the brightest star this league has with Steph Curry.
14:49Maybe here, but I, I do think that I, the idea of a villain for me, if you go back
14:54to
14:54Cleveland, there's no villain about that.
14:57You're going home.
14:57You go to Miami, less of you being the villain.
15:00Cause you're going back to where you were.
15:02You go to golden state and you're going to go with the team that you fought hard against
15:06for almost a decade.
15:07I do think the rest of the league would look at that as kind of a, a heel turn and
15:12a little
15:13bit of a villain move.
15:15I thought the tone of today was, I really don't care.
15:19What the hell you all think.
15:21And however you're going to label this, do you know what I mean?
15:24Like I'm going to do what I'm going to do and, and it's going to be fine.
15:29He's 41.
15:30He's achieved it all.
15:31So like whether Philadelphia makes him a villain, whether Cleveland, the third time, whether the
15:38whole LeBron and Steph teaming up, I just, yeah, I think, I think he's going to, I think
15:43he's going to act at least like he's above it.
15:46I also think that if he's looking at, okay, he wants, let's say he wants to win.
15:52He's also got to consider the worst case scenarios, I think.
15:59And that's where the warriors come in.
16:01Like if he goes to Cleveland, Miami or Philadelphia, all things on balance, they, they should contend
16:08in the East, whatever team he joins.
16:11But if he comes to the warriors, there's no assurance and I get it.
16:15There's no assurance with any team, but there's no assurance that he's going to have the teammates
16:20that he wants for an entire season.
16:23And I think like the ability for things to go sideways is greater here than at those
16:29other three places in terms of health and like the team's record over the course of
16:34a year.
16:35And, you know, in the West is a guy, mine gets hurt for six weeks and then Steph gets
16:39hurt and then he's got to take some time off.
16:42And, you know, next thing you know, they're 20 and 25.
16:46I do think that what Mark was just laying out and what Evan was saying about where LeBron's
16:51head is in terms of scrutiny.
16:54I don't think that he gives a flying, you know, what about what people think.
17:00And I go back to when he basically strong on the Lakers into drafting his kid like, oh,
17:05you want me to stay?
17:06You're going to need to bring my kid in.
17:08And so they did that.
17:10I don't think that LeBron's going to come here, even if that scenario plays out, Stiney,
17:13where, you know, Steph with the runner's knee and Draymond can't quite play all the time
17:17and Jimmy's not back and Chris Stapps plays when he plays and Al can't
17:21play back-to-backs and now it's going to be LeBron and Guy and LJ Cryer and Yaxle.
17:27I still don't think that LeBron would think about the scrutiny and be bothered by it.
17:32He's above it.
17:34What about the, what about if he goes to Philly?
17:36There are people that say he doesn't want any part of the Philly fans or the Philly media.
17:40Right.
17:40So they lose three of four and LeBron is not, like Evan said, hustling down the first
17:46baseline on a ground ball to short.
17:48Philly fans are going to turn on him.
17:49And you know better, but.
17:51But if he doesn't care, then what does it matter?
17:55It's not a question of does he care or not, but I mean, if there are groans and boos, heck,
18:01Philly was booing the opponent in the home run derby.
18:05Yeah, that's good nature.
18:06For crying out loud.
18:06That's good nature.
18:07Oh, that's good natured booing.
18:08Yeah, but like they've had their back and forth with Joel Embiid, who's won a most valuable
18:12player award for them.
18:13It's, you know, nobody's off limits in Philly.
18:17Well, let me ask you to you this way, Stiney, and you might be the most wrong person in the
18:22world to ask this question.
18:25Does that sound fun to you?
18:27Who?
18:27Philly.
18:29If this whole thing is about LeBron's joy, I can, like, and I don't know what lines up
18:35his joy.
18:36He can go home to Cleveland.
18:38You can go be in Miami on South Beach.
18:41You can play with your friends and Steph and Dre, be close to home, and the golf and the
18:46weather.
18:46What about Philly?
18:48Sounds fun.
18:49What about the golf in Philly?
18:51The golf in Philly is better than the golf in the Bay Area.
18:56Not in December.
18:57It's not.
18:57Did you hear about El Nino coming our way this year?
19:00Oh, God.
19:01Talked about it in our meeting today.
19:02And it's going to be a very mild winter in the East Coast.
19:05Thank you for your six-month application.
19:07Marion, Pine Valley, Gulf Mills, Aronimink, the Philadelphia Cricket Club, the Union League,
19:14I'm sorry, who's it?
19:14Philly Country Club.
19:15I'm sorry, who will we be playing with?
19:17Oh, we'll be playing with Jalen Brown, baby.
19:19Jalen Brown, got it.
19:19And Maxie.
19:20Yeah.
19:21And Embiid.
19:22Nick Nurse carries his bag.
19:24I think this sounds fun.
19:25This sounds fun to you.
19:27I don't know that it sounds fun to him.
19:28Well, that's the real decision.
19:29Which golf club he's going to take his talents to.
19:32Well, I mean, can we say that if he goes to Philly, he wants to win, and if he goes
19:35to the Warriors, he wants to have fun?
19:37You can say that if you want to.
19:39I don't think that he feels that way.
19:41I think that when you're LeBron James, you probably think you've got a shot anywhere.
19:45But, like, I would be shocked if this is solely about winning a ring.
19:51And if it is, yeah, I would go to San Antonio.
19:54Well, I mean, like, when you put it that way, if it's solely about winning, it's got to be
19:59Oklahoma City or San Antonio.
20:01If I'm just about winning a ring, why the hell am I going to Philly?
20:04Well, I'll tell you why I think.
20:06Because I don't think San Antonio or Oklahoma City wants him.
20:09You might be right.
20:10Although I think San Antonio would have a ring already if they had had him last year.
20:13Perhaps.
20:15New York, I could see wanting him.
20:17But I don't think he wants to go there.
20:20Like, I can see why he doesn't want to go to New York now.
20:23Well, didn't Rich Paul say that already?
20:25He said, like, if the Knicks hadn't won, he already would have joined them.
20:28Oh, really?
20:29Yeah, I think he said that.
20:30That's right.
20:31Yeah.
20:31But he's not going to go join the team that just won.
20:34Yeah, that's interesting.
20:35Yeah.
20:35But, like, look, none of us know, but.
20:39Well, Steve Kerr knows.
20:41Except for Steve Kerr.
20:42Yeah.
20:42We got him.
20:43Yeah.
20:43That's it.
20:44Put that on Twitter.
20:44We got him.
20:45Hey, we need to get LeBron, man.
20:47But we need LeBron.
20:48LeBron.
20:49No, we got him.
20:50Okay.
20:50That's good.
20:51Put that on Twitter.
20:52Okay, I got you.
20:53I'm serious.
20:55Yeah.
20:56Yeah.
20:56Why do you think Kalshi went up, Dibs?
20:58Because.
20:59Apparently the odds are going to go.
21:00Sky-high Warriors.
21:01Not quite sky-high, but they're now creeping closer.
21:03They're moving.
21:04Are they a favorite right now?
21:05Not yet.
21:06I think Mark mentioned during our little pizza break, Cleveland at 36%.
21:11The Warriors are at about 30%.
21:13They passed them earlier.
21:14They did pass them for a moment earlier.
21:17It was.
21:18I think it was right around when LeBron and Halliburton started their podcast.
21:22Because I was just telling Sonny, I read that as people were assuming that he was going to
21:27say something that would hint that he was going to Golden State.
21:31Kalshi has that little, the line that moves.
21:34The board I'm looking at right now says the last time the Warriors were actually, the favorite
21:39was July 1st.
21:40So I don't know if they actually passed Cleveland at any point today, but they're getting very,
21:44very close.
21:45Cleveland 39, Warriors 30.
21:47And you know, it's all a market and you're not going up against the house, you're going
21:51against other people.
21:52So the more money that goes into the gigantic pot, the less volatility, less movement there
21:58is.
21:58The more I think about it as each day slowly passes inextricably.
22:03If you were going to go to Cleveland, you would have gone to Cleveland.
22:07And if you were going to go to Philly, I think that would have been done.
22:10For me, it feels like what's going on is documentary negotiations and whether or not it's making
22:17sure that all the Warriors will sign off on it or they're making sure that Netflix will
22:21pay 80 million for it.
22:23I think that that is more what's happening in the back channels.
22:26Oh, they're waiting for the Warriors to make a move.
22:28Right.
22:30Maybe.
22:31Perhaps.
22:31Maybe.
22:32But I liked what you said before and I praised you yesterday when you were under the weather.
22:37If Washington, they've suffered through three years of misery, they haven't won 20 games
22:42and you're now finally ready to not tank.
22:45So why would you trade Anthony Davis for a guy who you know is going to be hurt until February?
22:50It's not their year to do that.
22:53Last year was their year to do that.
22:55If they would have had a player like that.
22:57Wasn't there a front page piece on ESPN about how the Wizards are in win now mode finally?
23:03Yeah.
23:03Yeah.
23:04They're poised for a super special year.
23:07Yeah.
23:08Indeed.
23:08I mean, it's possible.
23:09And the one thing that I've learned, Stiney, and over, like, is this team tanking or are
23:13they just bad?
23:14Well, when a team is really, really bad and they retain their head coach for three seasons
23:19through being really, really bad, that tells you that they're tanking.
23:23And I think that's the situation with Washington.
23:25Their coach is coming back for year four, even though they haven't even won 50 games in
23:31three years or thereabout.
23:32And so, yeah, you tell your coach, we're going to be bad for three years, but we like you.
23:37Ride it out.
23:38We're going to keep you.
23:39That tells you that it seems tanking.
23:41Chief Keefe.
23:42Keefe's going to be fired if they don't win this year.
23:45Like, he'll get fired early.
23:46Win what?
23:47Like, if they start out like the Wizards normally start out.
23:5011 and 24.
23:52Exactly.
23:52Something like that.
23:53Eight games in their first 50.
23:54Boy, yep.
23:55You know, and then if they're 500, but they think they should be 600, they'll fire him,
23:59too.
24:00All right.
24:01He's got to be on a short leash.
24:02And I don't know anything.
24:03It's just, that's what usually happens.
24:06Yeah.
24:06Well, my gut is, like, if you didn't like what he had been doing, you would have fired
24:09him already.
24:10Right.
24:10But you rode with him for three years knowing that you were going to stink intentionally.
24:14Yeah, like Will Hardy in Utah.
24:15Hasn't he been there for, like, seven years?
24:16Same.
24:17Yeah, great call.
24:18Same thing.
24:19Contract runs through, like, 2030.
24:20Yeah.
24:21All right.
24:22That's going to do it for us.
24:23You guys have a great show.
24:26Should we bring it home?
24:26Thanks, Stiney.
24:27Bring it home.
24:27Okay.
24:28Bring it home.
24:29I'm not going to see you all now here for a couple weeks.
24:30You're going tomorrow?
24:32And next week.
24:33Okay.
24:33Yeah.
24:34Going for a while.
24:35Miss ya.
24:36Where you going?
24:37Somewhere.
24:37All right.
24:38Me too.
24:38Adios.
24:39Mark Willard.
24:41I'm going to get some pizza.
24:42That's a clue.
24:42Yeah, go get some pizza.
24:43Get some pizza, Stiney.
24:44You going to Italy?
24:45No.
24:46I said adios, not arrivederci.
24:48Mexico.
24:49Do you want some pizza?
24:50Yes, sir.
24:51Contest.
24:52Can I ask you one question?
24:54Hurry.
24:55What's more attractive to you?
24:57A pizza with sausage, pepperoni, peppers, and mushrooms?
25:03Nope.
25:03Pineapple.
25:04Or salami and black olive?
25:05Neither.
25:06I won't have any.
25:06You're out.
25:07Sorry.
25:08But I appreciate the effort.
25:09Thanks, Duran.
25:09Yes.
25:10Yes.
