Hour 1: Dan Steals Stan's Nuggets (feat. Stan Van Gundy)

Look at who's here. The lead game analyst for the NBA on Prime. He's half the man he used to be. He looked at him. Look at him.

Staving Gundy with the sixers at Detroit Celtics at OKC on Thursday. A special game last night in the association. And so we start obviously here with Stan talking about food. Stan, their DTF St. Louis, they're down to feast and St. Louis at the ballpark. You got $29 get you an assortment of foods.

All you can eat here, Stan. Hot dogs, chicken nuggets, brought worse, nacho chips, popcorn, french fries, peanuts, kettle chips, ice cream, and fountain drinks for $29.

“What does Stan van Gundy think of that deal as a baseball fan?”

He's in Houston. He went to the World Baseball Classic yesterday. He loves baseball just as much as he loves basketball, but he loves food more than both of them. What do you think of this unlimited $29 deal here, Stan?

That's a hell of a deal. I mean, I would just make sure I didn't eat before I went to the game that night. That's a hell of a deal. What would be your choices there? What would you go with? How much damage do you think you would do?

Well, I would have the first line there. I would get a diet coke, the hot dogs, the chicken nuggets. I'd probably, well, I might get a brought, but definitely popcorn in the, yeah, that would be it, but I'd eat a lot of all that stuff. So you would make them regret their decision to make all of that $29?

I would try to make them regret it. Yes.

“Your love of baseball, tell me about going to the World Baseball Classic.”

What did you see yesterday? Well, it was incredible.

I had never, and I didn't really think about it until I was going, but for all the sporting

events I've been to, I had never been to a major international match. Like, you know, it's talking to my brother. He's been to the Olympics and the World Cup and basketball. He's been to the Women's World Cup in soccer. I had never been to anything and it was phenomenal against Mexico.

I mean, the atmosphere before the game, there were probably more Mexico fans there than USA fans. They were certainly louder. You know, USA had a five run inning and got up, five nothing, but Mexico battled back and made it interesting and the crowd was really into it.

I haven't been, and I've been to the World Series when the Marlins were in it. I've been to the World Series back, back in the day when I was young and the A's were in it.

“I've never been in a stadium that was as electric as it was last night.”

Judging, Roman Anthony hit home runs, but Bobby Witch, Jr. made two of the best offensive

plays you would see judgment and incredible throw to throw a guy out at third base.

I mean, it was just a lot of fun. I was hurt and offended that you went on another show and told people that Dwight Howard had not only a world-class NBA IQ, but was also an all-star farter. I just got asked the question, "I didn't bring it up. I did not bring it up."

Well, now I'm asking. Verified the story. So what constitutes being an all-star farter? No, no, I didn't say that. I did not say that they said that the story was that, you know, when walkthroughs and things

that he would fart, and I said, "Yes, that's true." That's it for me. I don't classify an all-star. I don't know if there isn't all star in that category. So he's cropped, Austin.

Yeah, I guess.

But do you have second place?

Who else is all NBA farter in your experience? No, I don't have that. I don't have that. Well, think about it for next slide. Okay, yeah.

Let's give it some thought and make sure to get back to us on that. Oh, yeah. I'll spend a lot of time. Since February 1st, the NBA's best record, number one, San Antonio, Boston, number two, NBA, net rating, San Antonio, number one, Boston, number two, NBA defense, number

one, Boston, San Antonio, number two are those your NBA finals team stand. I don't know. I mean, I still think, look, Oklahoma City, you look at the number of injuries they've had and they still have the best record in the league. I mean, it's incredible.

I mean, Jalen Williams is missed 40 games and they've had numerous guys, miss games. Isaiah, Heart and Stine, I think, is missed 30 games, FGA, missed 12 games, AJ, Mitchell,

It's incredible. I mean, they haven't had their team and yet they have the best record. So I would still say, until somebody knocks them off there, the favorite, but I like San

“Antonio, I like Boston, but I think the East is wide open.”

New York, Cleveland Detroit, and then even you've got a lot of teams starting to play well now.

I mean, the team nobody's going to want to face is Charlotte in the first round.

I mean, so you went through all those things in the last seven weeks, Charlotte is tied for the best record in the East with Boston and they are tied. Only San Antonio has a better record than they do. Somebody in the first or second spot is going to get them in the first round and they're playing as well as anybody in the league right now.

And I wonder what your thoughts are when you heard people on television or radio before Jason Tatum returned speaking about how difficult it might be for the Celtics to reintegrate Tatum. Because I remember you dealt with something similar when you were coach of Orlando, which you were Nelson.

Yeah, I didn't really worry about Boston's ability to reintegrate him.

He's played with all those guys.

I just am shocked that in 10 months, this guy's able to come back and has looked away he has. Now he hasn't shot the ball well, but he's looked like he's moving well and playing well. I've been through it, you know, with the guy coming back off of an Achilles and usually when they come back, it's still a good long time, almost an entire season before they're

back playing at a high level. And that's guys that have taken a full year or more to get back. So I'm absolutely shocked to see what he's doing out there, obviously he did an unbelievable job in his rehab because he looks like the same old Jason Tatum to me. Were you tempted at all to say Miami when you said Charlotte there, group them when you're

talking about team, other teams in the East?

You say the East is wide open.

I don't agree with you.

“I think Boston is better than everybody and I don't trust everybody.”

You call a lot of heat for comments recently on Detroit because you know how offensively limited that team is. Yeah, yeah, look, I love Detroit. I mean, as a guy who really respects heart play and teams, the defensive end of the floor, the whole thing.

I love them. I just know that the regular season and playoffs are two totally different challenges. The regular season, you know, is about how often your team is ready to play and, you know, brings close to their best and Detroit has been phenomenal at that. But the playoffs are what your best is.

I would agree with you right now with Tatum back, look in the way he is, that Boston's the favorite, but I don't think that they're an overwhelming favorite. I don't.

“I think New York Cleveland Detroit, Miami, starting to play well Orlando is playing well.”

Now, and they don't have their best players. So, you know, injuries are going to be a big part of it, and you give me the top four or five teams in the East and do the same in the West. Tell me who's going to be healthiest that's who I'll pick. Did you just make Wagner better than Boncaro?

Yeah, I think he's their best player if you're looking at both things at a floor. I mean, it's close and I will say, Paula Bencaro, since the all-star break has been a different guy. I mean, he's been great. He's been much more aggressive.

I didn't think up until the all-star break that he was playing great. I thought he was playing okay. I didn't think he was playing great, but since he all-star break, he's been phenomenal. They get those two guys in Desmond Bane. They've rediscovered their defensive identity.

I think they've got a shot. I mean, New York has stumbled in the two games in LA, but their defensive identity is back. Look, I do, I think it's wide open. I would agree with you that Boston's a favorite, but I think it's wide open. Last night's game between OKC and Denver was really great.

It was great from start to finish. Denver is down seven with a minute, 12 left and tie the game, even though Yokeitch missed a free throw. The math on that is hard. Dort, again, did a foul to Yokeitch hit him in the face, and it was a flagrant.

Shake Gildjes Alexander, tied Will Chamberlain scoring streak by getting 20 points in 126

When I say that to you, Stan, what are your thoughts just on that?

“The Shake Gildjes Alexander has tied Will Chamberlain scoring streak of 20 points in”

a game in 126 straight games. Yeah, that's phenomenal, and we have their game Thursday night where he will more than likely break that record. I mean, if you tell me a guy scored in double figures, 126 straight games, it's phenomenal. But 20 points in basically a season and a half straight worth of games, it's mind-boggling.

And any time you're doing something in scoring realm that surpasses Will Chamberlain, I mean, it's incredible. What Shake Gildjes Alexander has done, I mean, not only has he been great, but that level

of consistency is incredible.

In this episode, sponsored by Better Help, March is one of those months where we talk about celebrating women and it's very, very deserved because when you actually look around a lot of women in our lives are carrying a ton, work, family, relationships, expectations, nobody notices or sees. I started thinking about the women around me, my wife, my mom, my sister, my friends,

my coworkers, people who somehow take care of everybody else while still trying to hold it together themselves, and it's a ton to carry. Therapy can be a place to put some of that weight down.

“You need to have these late-season games.”

We don't know. It's a big game for the next, we have absolutely no idea how Boston will play it. I don't know who they'll play, who they won't play. Stugats. Okay.

Alright, that's it. That's an excellent promotion. You know, I love that. That's great. That's it.

That's perfect advertising. Perfect. The game with a national game. I'm eating it. I'm eating it.

I'm eating it. Shit. That was a shitty sales job. This is an unlimited show with a Stugats. When the horse has mentioned that empirically numerically, the lakers are good when

it's Luca and Austin Reeves, but not when LeBron's on the court. What do you do with that?

First of all, I would say that they don't have enough of a simple size with all three

of those guys healthy to really know what's going to work and not work. But I look, I looked at those numbers the other day and Luca and Reeves has been better than either one of those guys with LeBron. So I mean, it's true. I just don't know if it's meaningful in the sample size that we have.

I still think the big problem with the lakers is going to be whether or not they are able to defend at a high level. They're going to score. They're not going to be able to defend at a high level. What do you do?

I don't think so. They're not going to. What do you talk about? I would agree with you. But it's the question if they can, then they've got a chance, but I don't see how because

your three best players, none of them are plus defenders, like they used, I mean LeBron used to be. I mean he was as good a defender as there was in the league, but 41 years old, he's not an above average defender anymore and Luca and Reeves certainly aren't. It's going to be, it's going to be very, very tough for them.

“Even the West is just really difficult, but team I think in the West, it can give sin in”

Tonya and Oklahoma City a run is Denver. They have not been healthy all year as we know and yet they're still hanging in there and if they, when they get everybody back, I didn't think it was a good sign last night though because they were fully healthy last night, and Oklahoma City was, you know, Aaron Gordon was hard.

Aaron Gordon was so good last night, like he's a very key to them, but, you know, I would have thought even though it was on the road last night, they should have been able to pull that one out with with no Jalen Williams, no shed home grin, no Isaiah heart and Stein. I mean, like that was their chance, no Alex Carruso and still Oklahoma City wins.

I mean, Oklahoma City, they have the best record in the league and these guys have missed

a ridiculous amount of gains. He's the lead game analyst for NBA on prime. As I mentioned, sixers had Detroit and Celtics at OKC on Thursday on Friday, it's Cavs at Dallas and T. Wolves at Golden State on Saturday, it's Hornets at San Antonio, that's this week on NBA on prime.

I want to speed stand up though. I'm going to make his answers short, Tony's dying to get in here with a thousand questions. So we're going to speed you up. Let's give him some music here. You mentioned the LeBron was a great defender in his prime.

The best defender in the league right now is blank. The Thompson twins, the both of them. They're just equal, your doctor. You know what? Yeah, I would have seen him in early in the year, but watching a star is the years gone

on.

“I think he's his brother's equal at the defense event, a men's a better offensive plan.”

The best shooter in the league after Steph Curry is blank. The best shooter in the league, period, just shooter is Luke Kinoff. Better than Steph. Well, just as a shooter, yeah, but he Luke Kinoff is put it on the pole at LeBotard Show is a stand-vend gun, he's crazy for saying that Luke Kinoff is a better shooter than Steph Curry.

Okay, so you never let me explain myself.

Luke Kinoff get his own shot, Steph is by far the more dangerous shooter in player, but if we're just going to stand there and shoot the ball, Luke Kinoff is the best shooter. The best front office in the sport is blank. Well, you got to have an Oklahoma City, but sin Antonio's pretty damn close. Is Conknip all the most fun name to say on a broadcast?

You know, we haven't had their games, but yes, it would be, and I would love to do that. Though I will say this, okay, I had a college game, the only college game I did before I do much madness Tuesday night and the point guard at, and this is his true name, the point guard at Xavier is, his last name is right, his first name is all. He is all right, and now crazyer than that, his brother, his brother who plays, I want to

say it like Rio Grand Valley or something, his first name is always.

Do you have a Hornets game? Can we get you to say some form?

“Can we get you to shout some form of genuflect before the nipple?”

No, you're not going to get me to say that, but I do hope we get one of their games. We have Amazon Prime has the play in games, they're going to be in that. We have all the play in, so hopefully I'll get a Charlotte game because their turnaround has been incredible, I watched them early in the year, and I thought, same old Charlotte, and now literally there is good as anybody.

I mean, we're talking about Boston and they're the favorite grade, I agree, but Charlotte's been just as good over the last seven weeks, Charlotte has had the best offense in the league since the 22nd of January, and the sixth best defense, I mean, they've been phenomenal and con can nipple has been a huge part of that. I think he's the rookie of the year just on availability and teams.

Why won't you say bound before the nipple, why won't you say it? You know, you guys, like, I'm not going to say it, yeah, you're not going to get me to say that coach, obviously, you mentioned con con nipples here rookie of the year. This has been a super tight race between Cooper Flag and con con nipple.

“Do you feel like con con nipple who's now the betting faster?”

Will win? I do, well, I do think you'll win. I think it's more on availability, played more games, he's on a better team. Cooper Flag's fabulous, but I think con con con nipples are rookie of the year. Everybody talks about Wemby and going praise and all that, can you give me Wemby's

flaw, his one flaw? You can turn him over, he's, you know, at seven foot four, he's got a high dribbled. You can attack him on the dribble and he can at times become a mistake player. Kawai Leonard having his best season after 14 years, can you describe what he's doing? They're 26 and 11, and they're last 37 games.

I mean, that's the other great turnaround this year. They started 6 and 21, and Kawai has had to absolutely carry that team offensively. I mean, and he's been up to the challenge. The thing with Kawai too is he's not only puts up big numbers, but he does it so efficiently,

What do you think the penalty should be if all of this around Kawai Leonard is true,

“the way that Pablo Torrey finds out seems, keeps making it seem like it's all true?”

Well, to me, it's not a matter just if it's true, it's a matter of who was doing it, and what the motivation was, I mean, I do not think that Steve Balmer was involved in this. I don't think either directly or indirectly, so I don't have any idea, why? Because I just don't see, I don't see, why? I mean, the guys making all kinds of money, I mean, I don't see why, I really don't.

It's tens of millions of dollars that are being hidden there. You think that escapes his attention? I don't have any idea, I really don't. On the business side of things, I just, I don't have any idea of what was going on. You haven't heard any of Pablo Torrey's episodes have you.

You just don't want to have heard, I have heard, I've read stuff, I have not heard any of them. But listen, I do think Pablo Torrey's, I mean, I think he's a good journalist, I think he does a good job. I'm not slighting him, but no, I haven't. See, I listen, it's the same thing you know this when you start talking to me about sports and basketball about potential trades and celery cap and free agent things, I'm interested

in the game, so I don't, I just don't get caught up in a lot of the other stuff.

Stand the hornets, sent the heat a second round pick yesterday from the Terry Rose Year trade

from two years ago. Should the heat be upset about that whole situation? About the Terry Rose Year situation, I mean, everybody's upset about all of this. That stuff is, you know, it's affected the league in a bad way, so if again, depending on what everybody knew and if they knew what was going on and sent the heat to every

rose year and didn't tell the heat to that, yeah, the heat should be upset. The heat should be more upset that the Terry Rose Year didn't play very well for him. Let's play some sound here of Steve Kerr and get Stan Van Gundys reaction to this. I know this will not be a popular opinion in the league office, but I will continue to say it because it's obvious we need to play fewer games, we need to take ten games off

the schedule. I think it would be great for the league and I get it, it's revenue and you'd have to get everybody to agree to take a little less money and that's a really hard thing to do. But what I know about the league, about coaching, about how hard it is to play the modern

game with the pace and the space, I think it would be a more competitive and healthier league if we played fewer games. Stan?

“Well, look, I agree, I think that to me, the best way, if we wanted just great quality”

to play the best way to play the league would be a very balanced schedule, everybody would play everybody twice, we'd play 58 games and we would take our best teams into the playoffs. But I do think something's missing from the argument. I don't think fewer games in and of itself is enough.

I think the biggest problem with injuries is not the number of games. I think the biggest problem with injuries is that people have stopped practicing and the league-wide way to do things has been to do less and less and less. I think the players are deconditioned and yes, the game is more demanding than ever. But it's non-sensical to me that as there are greater demands, we do less in preparation,

no other sport would think of doing it that way. Ask the swimmers if, as they meet more demands, they do less and less and less. Now, you do more and more and more. I think we've deconditioned players. I don't think we practice enough.

I think that's the problem. I think that there are people who, in the scientific world who are coming around to that.

“But listen, here's the thing. It's a, it's a C-Y-A situation in no strength and conditioning”

coach, no coach is ever going to be chastised for doing too little. The guy got hurt and you haven't practiced enough.

That's never going to happen.

But if they think you're working guys too hard, play in guys too many minutes and they

All I know is this, we're doing less and less and less in terms of practice. We've load managed, we've given guys games off, and injuries continue to climb. Something isn't working, okay? Whether that's too many games, there can be a lot of answers. But something isn't working.

That was a heroic effort by you keeping down that burp. Mike Ryan thought it was a yon. I don't think it was a yon.

“I think it's too many diets so does in the morning.”

Yes, well, it's not too many because I'm on my first boot, but yes, that sounded like

the carbonation. I thought that was courageous. That was the carbonation. You pushed it down and you fought through and I salute you. It's why you're the lead announcer for prime on all things basketball.

But what I wanted to do was not to give you the most of the students. The master by Tag Lab Topucha Soft behind the internet. It's a master's, I tell you. You can say that you're drunk. Yeah, you're my master's, right?

But you don't believe me. EGAL! Zauba word "fallust" for a track. Make the game just like this. And when they work, the house is catching.

That's good? Safe. Like this. Hold it down, get to Rook. Now it's cost-nose-ous-for-been.

Don't live at all. Come on, show it this segment with what is your strike three calls. Strike one would be strike! And then you stand up and you get a good point to the right. Stoogats!

That's the same for strike two. But strike three, you get down low, you got your hands behind the catcher. All right. The right arm goes up into the air. Yeah!

And then you finish it with the punch. Yeah? The right arm flings way up into the air. Yeah! Yeah!

And you finish it with the punch. And you finish it with the punch. Yeah! And you finish it with the punch. Yeah!

And then you finish it with the punch. Yeah! And then you finish it with the punch. Yeah! The right arm flings way up into the air.

Yeah! Yeah! And you finish it with the punch. And you finish it with the punch. And you finish it with the punch.

And you finish it with the punch. And you finish it with the punch. And you finish it with the punch. Yeah! Why are they practicing last?

When did that start? Well, it was a gradual thing over the years. And it just, you know, it became the idea that, you know, the game is more demanding so these guys need more rest. It makes sense.

It's just not working.

“I mean, and I think that, I think you can, I don't think practices need to have”

the contact all the time. But I do think these guys need to be getting up and down the court on a more regular basis. I look at a lot of these soft tissue injuries and I'm saying, wait a minute now. We shouldn't have as many pulled muscles and things like that as we have. I mean, you're not going to get away from the knee injuries and things like that.

We've already, we've always had those, you know.

But with pulled the hamstrings and groins and all of that, I don't know, to me, that's as much a conditioning issue as anything. There's not many people going to agree with me on this because, again, the due less is really attractive to players, to coaches to everybody, to just do less, don't get criticized for it.

And play games is a popular way to go about it. Put it on the poll, please, due to an I should remind people, "Judges got new music out today." His name has been changed from "Judges you gotty" to "Judges you got it." And you can find it wherever it is that you find your music.

You can do so by looking for the song, "Blue Flame." That speed, Tony, and Stan up again here because Tony's got a lot of force, Stan, and I want to get to it. Stan, are we going to fall for the Minnesota trap again where they look good at the end of the season and then getting to the playoffs?

They kind of fall flat and fizzle out. No, we're not going to fall for that. They always get us, too. I'm like, "No, I'm not going to get it." No, not anymore.

What else you got for him, Tony? We got to speed it up.

“Are the wizards heading in the right direction as a franchise?”

No. That's a good idea, Stan. Stan's gotten good at this game. Stan's gotten good at this game. What's your next question?

I would like to see if we could change the music for a second to do a start of the day with

Stan. Is that possible? No, it is not. No, a third note for you. The next, are you believing that they are something that can actually be for real this year

and get to the Eastern Conference Finals? Yes. Ooh, what are you believing in there? They're defense? You're believing that their defense is really started to step up and they are in elite offensive

teams. So, yeah, I believe they've got a shot. I think they and Boston could be a terrific series. Last time that you were on with us, you said that Yoke, not Yoke, I'm sorry, Luca, was

Are you sticking to that?

“Yeah, I think so, I mean, it's he and Yoke and I said the other night because we had”

all three of them in the same game and then her. Yoke, it's LeBron and Donchitch, the three certainly best all around offensive players can handle the ball, pass, shoot from range, post up, take the ball to the basket, pass off the dribble. Those three guys are the only guys I can think of that can do everything required in

the game at an elite level. True or false, Wendy's going to start hogging all the championships. Man, certainly possible, I don't know that anybody in, I don't know that anybody can totally dominate. There's going to be some good teams, but God, that team is really good and he's unbelievable.

You don't seem to understand, you don't seem to understand, true or false. It's true or false. Okay, well, I'll say false because I don't think anybody's going to hog all the championships, but if anybody's going to, it would be him.

“There you go, wait a minute, how did that get in here?”

His right over rule, man. Come in during the shift, man. I got over with it. How do I get over the rule? I got to do this.

Like a mute knee, you better watch it, man. The league leader in points per possession on Isos is not who you think it is.

Obviously, we have incredible offensive prowess in the NBA, the number one person in

the NBA on points per possession on Isos is Peyton Pritchard at 1.3 points per possession on Isos. Stand, can you tell me how good of a season Peyton Pritchard is having if that's number one? Well, I think what's been phenomenal, he's having a great season, but what's been unbelievable

to me is this guy got his opportunity to start, they decided it would be best for him to go back to the bench and he's played better off the bench than he did as a starter. So he's not a guy who's been anytime palton, he's averaged more points off the bench, higher percentage, field goal, higher three point percentage, higher free throw percentage, more assists.

I mean, he's been better off the bench, I mean, incredible.

I mean, that team in what they've done and that organization in terms of developing talent

“and understanding talent, I should have thrown them in, I thought that's what you're”

going to answer. I thought that's what you were going to answer when I asked you best son-off. In Antonio and Boston have been phenomenal, I think, but I think what all those three teams have done to is they have done a great job in talent evaluation, all three of them. And then their coaching staff have all done an incredible job in developing players.

And if you're just talking Boston, look Peyton Pritchard and Sam Houser, I remember God, I don't know how many years back, I watched them in a series against Miami and they tried to play those guys and that they couldn't, I mean, Miami just abused both of them. And Joe Masul is stuck with those guys and now they're two very important players. And then I watched Baylor Shiremen as a rookie and I'm like, God, I don't know if this

guy will ever be an NBA player. Now I watch him and over the last eight games here, he's averaged over 10 points of game and shooting phenomenal percentages, Namiya's Cata, I think is better for them than Christophe's poor Zingus was for what they need. They just keep finding and developing players at the San Antonio and OKC have done the same

thing. Yeah, that's three phenomenal organizations. And Brad Stevens to me, for somebody to have the success he had coaching and then the front office success he had, there's not too many people who have done that, obviously Pat Riley right there in Miami has had a phenomenal success on both sides, but probably the

next best behind Pat would be Brad Stevens. You're not going to believe this, Dan, but as we were leaving ESPN, there was a giant wrestling match for our intellectual property and we somehow were able to wrestle this away from ESPN. And now, time for his thumb, I'm going to be stupid and be a no yet done at the same show.

Binky. We're bringing back the nuggets of Stan Vin Gundy, do you have some nuggets for us?

Here's the thing.

“I had nuggets prepared and then we've, we've hit on, we've hit on most of them.”

I had my Charlotte nugget because I didn't think people realized how good they were. I will go on with my, I will go this though, since we're talking MVP race a little bit. So we talked about SGA and his straight hundred twenty six straight games. I'll give you a nugget on that.

The second longest active streak, quiet lender, who we talked about, it's exactly one

third of SGA's straight. He scored twenty plus and forty two straight games. That's the second active streak. And by the way, Wilch Chamberlain also has the next longest streak. He had another streak of ninety two straight games of twenty over.

So that's a very long nugget. And then my third one is on would be on yoke, it's no one has ever, at any point in their, in their career, had a season where they let the league in rebounds per game and

had a season where they let the league in assist per game and yoke it's on track to do

that in both categories this season.

“I think he's a better offense of player than Michael Jordan, people think that it's offensive”

to say that, but I get it. Okay, is if you say anybody's better at anything in basketball than Michael Jordan, you are going to get a ton of pushback, I mean, it's just, the Michael Jordan fans are out there, like here's the one I got pushback on and I don't even see how you can get pushback on this.

We can argue all day on who the best player is and everything else. But the thing you cannot argue to me is no one has had a career even close to LeBron James. No one's had a career close to him in the NBA. Now, you want to say at their prime who's better, everything else fine, go ahead, argue.

“But you can't, I mean, this guy is going to put the scoring record out of reach and that's”

not the best part of his game. That's two minutes here and it's not enough time. The state of American politics at the moment go ahead, Stan, have at it. Listen, I mean, it's, it's almost infanculable that we're where we are. I mean, it's just, like forget, let's try to even put aside the ideology, okay, which

is hard for me to do, an ideology of hate and racism and prejudice that have the country has embraced, that's unthinkable to me, but even beyond that, even if you're on that side and you're a conservative, throwing through like, can we hire people that have some experience and some qualifications, can we hire some people with intelligence like, I don't think you can hire a less competent administration if your goal was to be as incompetent as possible.

That's the dismount.

Thank you, Stan, always good seeing you.

We miss you around here, please make your way around here more often. We love you. Love you guys, too. Keep having fun and I see all your, you know, you're getting ready for March Madness, so am I?

I'll get my assignments on Sunday and find out where I'm going. That I love you. Had a question mark on it, didn't it? Like he said that in a way that what I love you, too. I think it was a perfect experience.

Again, another burp, okay, you're right. See you later, Stan. Good to see you. Good to see you.
