[Mook]

Wait, what is the game going to? First of all, this player is playing seven. Wait, do you have to win by two, yes or no?

[Tricky Nick]

No. Just win the game.

[Mook]

Yeah. You gotta win by this. If you don't gotta win by two.

[Lou]

I win every time.

[Jeff]

Okay? That means Doc was losing. He threw that out there. You tell somebody you got whipped by two, that'd be. They already won.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah.

[Lou]

That mean they won the game, bro.

[Tricky Nick]

For sure.

[Lou]

We've been playing win by two since the first.

[Mook]

Exactly. No, we haven't. Keep it og, man. Honestly. Honestly.

[Lou]

He beat me by two, so we.

[Mook]

Never even got that close.

[Jeff]

He beat me.

[Mook]

I had five. He get to seven, boom, he wins.

[Tricky Nick]

You know, hey, I'm happy we're here right now. Let's just address some open gym basketball rules. If you play open gym, is it win by two or is it straight up?

[Lou]

Straight up in the game, bro.

[Mook]

Yeah, if it's five on five. If that's the case, one on one. One on one.

[Lou]

Now, if we playing like 21 or something, they might throw and win by two.

[Mook]

Just want to throw a wrench in.

[Lou]

The a one on one game, bro.

[Jeff]

Yeah, one on one, bro. You.

[Mook]

If I ever see you play at 21, y' all lame to the first and foremost.

[Jeff]

I would have took Lou back in the day, but Lou, Lou off the Achilles. I had to go with young Hoover. I gotta take my boy, young mouth.

[Mook]

He gotta wed. This coming up.

[Jeff]

Oh, yeah, he go.

[Tricky Nick]

His wife will kill him. Can't live down at all.

[Mook]

At all.

[Lou]

She killed my boy.

[Tricky Nick]

Now also another question. If you call N1, do you get the bucket two or do you get the foul? Or do you have to call foul to get a foul?

[Lou]

I'm getting a bucket, bro. And the foul.

[Tricky Nick]

Okay? So win, win.

[Jeff]

If you call.

[Lou]

If I miss, it's my ball.

[Jeff]

No. Yeah, that's my problem. If you call N1 and you miss and you'd be like, yo, I caught foul. I ain't rolling.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah. Cause you didn't call foul.

[Lou]

That's what happens in a basketball game.

[Jeff]

Yeah, but like legit.

[Tricky Nick]

But there's not referee.

[Jeff]

That's not what happens.

[Tricky Nick]

You say foul. It's. You know what I'm saying?

[Mook]

Knowingly fouled me, though.

[Lou]

If I make this album.

[Jeff]

No, but they blow the whistle, then the shot goes in. Y' all saying N1 as the shot went in and you missed the shot and you like.

[Lou]

But, you know, you found me.

[Jeff]

No, when the ref blow the whistle and the shots will go in, it's a foul. Oh, it went in and one. Y' all be like. And one shot miss.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah, one is not foul.

[Jeff]

If you say yeah, no, you gotta say foul. And if you hit the shot like we going down, Damn.

[Mook]

It's strict, those rules.

[Tricky Nick]

That's called fist fights. And a lot of open gym basketballs, for sure.

[Jeff]

I read a text last night about open gym today. He said, we are bringing a shot clock. We are bringing this. I don't want no more crying cause y' all messing up my rooms. I read that. I said, oh, I was there last week. What happened?

[Lou]

You know what happened.

[Tricky Nick]

Okay, okay, what happened.

[Mook]

Most coaches said, Darius be cheating though.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Tricky Nick]

Darius be cheating.

[Jeff]

Okay. Da.

[Tricky Nick]

For sure. Our Sunday hoops says. We said, hey, man, 10 minute games, bro. No more, bro.

[Jeff]

Oh, yeah, they bringing it up. Yeah, they bringing the clock today, bro.

[Lou]

Whoever is winning at the end of that clock, that's what it is, bro.

[Mook]

Y' all don't go to points no more.

[Lou]

We do, but if the clock beat.

[Mook]

You, then that's who win.

[Tricky Nick]

I like having the clock aspect in it. It make everybody play. Because if you just have a sad ass game, it could last 20 minutes, bro. Nah, bro, there's got to be some strategy involved. Hey, while we're here, man, we got a lot of going on in sports. We're going to the NHL with it. Panthers and Oilers loaded, clip up. They got the squabble last night.

[Jeff]

Squabble up?

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah. Stanley cup. We don't get Give a damn. We squabbling.

[Mook]

That ref tweaking. They got hockey sticks and all kinds of out there.

[Jeff]

Look at them just wrestling over here.

[Mook]

Does he got the ref down?

[Lou]

Oh, they get in trouble for this one, though. This is so many people.

[Jeff]

But he over there getting it in right there.

[Mook]

He got CT already. You punching on a. That got a helmet on you. Y' all slow, bro.

[Lou]

The football players do that, bro.

[Jeff]

I always.

[Mook]

Oh, they the worst.

[Tricky Nick]

Break that hand.

[Lou]

Punch him with a helmet on, bro.

[Tricky Nick]

Imagine the NBA Finals, bro. Yesterday, came down and stole.

[Mook]

Hit him in his ear.

[Jeff]

His ear open the car height. That's hard though.

[Lou]

Why they get the bump, though?

[Jeff]

That's hard.

[Mook]

It's a part of their sport, though.

[Lou]

This should be a part of everybody's sport.

[Tricky Nick]

Nah. Let's go.

[Jeff]

Move. It'd be some fatalities in the league, boy.

[Mook]

NFL, bro. The had, bro.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah, bro. They're already gladiators, bro.

[Lou]

Why not knocking each other's teeth out? Don't know. Hockey player got teeth, bro.

[Mook]

You got to put some excitement into the support, bro. It is hockey.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah, I would love to see their dental premiums. NHL is probably leading the league when it comes to insurance costs. I would love to see that for sure. But imagine that in NBA Finals, bro. That would be crazy. Tyrese came down, stolen somebody, bro, and took it out. Next position.

[Mook]

I'm a folk might whoop him.

[Jeff]

You got to say, like, Mather or somebody.

[Tricky Nick]

I'm just saying in general. That would just be crazy, bro.

[Jeff]

That would be crazy.

[Lou]

Like, the ratings would be through the.

[Jeff]

Roof though, bro, because these ratings are. These ratings are very much so down.

[Tricky Nick]

Disgusting.

[Jeff]

Nobody watching the Finals, bro.

[Tricky Nick]

Nah, bro, it's nasty.

[Jeff]

Do y' all think it's the. The way the NBA presenting it, or is it like this? Just not. It's just the markets.

[Lou]

The markets, bro. Everybody put it in their brain already that they don't want to watch these two teams, bro. Yeah, they didn't really care about the basketball. They like, I don't want to watch OKC versus Pacers, bro. They put that in their brain already.

[Tricky Nick]

And then you look at the, like, even from the. The companies that's covering it, bro. It's not even no good energy around it. Like, yeah, it's basketball tonight. They'd be like, damn if y' all don't care. They already say that the media slanders a product too much, is watering it down. And the fans like, oh, yeah, I'm not watching that before they even watch the game. So, yeah, I am. It's all the above, sadly.

[Jeff]

3 million less viewers than last year finals and we didn't even like last year's final.

[Mook]

Yeah. Nah.

[Tricky Nick]

There was no game last year that was as memorable as game one of these finals.

[Jeff]

Not at all.

[Tricky Nick]

And people don't give a damn.

[Mook]

It's the teams for sure, number one. But it's also the media, bro. The media ain't doing a good job of pubbing it, bro.

[Jeff]

But it's kind of hard to pub it, though.

[Mook]

We should have banners around the city, bro. We're in the finals, bro. The city should be lit, bro. Everywhere you go, you should see Pacer, bro.

[Jeff]

But that's. That's just here. I'm just saying across the world, across the nation.

[Mook]

Start at home, though. Like, when they pull up here, they like, oh, this the regular game for us. We ain't going to go all out. They ain't even. City ain't even lit. I ain't seen the banner yet, though.

[Tricky Nick]

Now let me go crazy. Just put one on the jw. It's a big ass sign on there.

[Lou]

This need to be everywhere.

[Tricky Nick]

I agree. Now, downtown is everywhere else. N only place you send stuff outside of Downtown is people who selling the bootleg Indiana P T shirts on the corner at the gas station shout out.

[Jeff]

To my at the marathon. He going crazy, crazy.

[Tricky Nick]

Oh, me man go platinum. Yeah, he going crazy.

[Jeff]

He going crazy. I never bought a shirt that said Tyeese. He ain't had a heart. I said that boy forgot the hard one.

[Tricky Nick]

It you hustling gangster. It's over there with them game seven Patriots, Knicks hats. But no, as a whole, TV ratings are down across the board. And also the transitional year between what's going on with, like, TNT and, like, Amazon, that doesn't help either, because you got a lot of people who just like, all right, I gotta get through this so I get done before everything transition. It was just a bad year for them not to have, you know, the stars that they were looking for, quote, unquote. But do y' all feel like it would be any different if it was New York and the Timberwolves in there?

[Jeff]

Oh, fuck yeah.

[Lou]

Hell yeah.

[Tricky Nick]

What if the Knicks is in the NBA Finals? We would hear that so much, bro. It'd be the ae.

[Jeff]

It'd be the only thing talked about, bro.

[Mook]

I told you. It's like Indiana give you energy. But it's different in New York when they are pissy, pissy terrible. They still turned up, like, you know what I'm saying? So it's just different.

[Lou]

Nah, that's a fact.

[Jeff]

Dang, man, this. This didn't help the NBA at all, though. I told y' all they wanted the Knicks in the finals. I mean, obviously in the Pacers a better basketball team, but this didn't help the league as far as, like, watch views and stuff. I think it helped the league as far as, like, play styles and, like, probably changing the league a little bit. You probably get more of a variety of superstars all through across the league. But as far as people watching it, this probably set the NBA back a little bit.

[Lou]

Because even when Milwaukee won, they had Giannis, bro. People still want to watch.

[Jeff]

Yeah. I would say we won this low. Obviously. This is the lowest since, what, 1988?

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah.

[Mook]

But damn, that's when y' all was born.

[Jeff]

Yeah. Damn. 37 years ago.

[Tricky Nick]

Damn. Yeah, I was definitely not here. That's tough.

[Mook]

I don't know, man.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I mean, I'm about to say I knew our Finals was low. Cause that wasn't. Yeah, it was Kobe year.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

I knew our Finals was low, too. I mean, I didn't want to watch Milwaukee vs. Phoenix. I was on the team.

[Tricky Nick]

Those were some good games.

[Jeff]

I like it was. But I was like, I could tell. You know how you can just know? Ain't nobody paying no attention. I was like, ain't nobody paying no attention.

[Lou]

I don't understand why. Why that matters, though. Like, the cities and all that. That has nothing to do with the game. But that really matter, bro.

[Tricky Nick]

You know why? Because people really don't like the game. And if you just pay attention to stuff, you could like. Y' all don't really like basketball. Y' all just like all the that comes around.

[Mook]

As hard as these goddamn Patriots fans been going, I'm a little disappointed.

[Lou]

Me too.

[Jeff]

You gotta, you gotta. Y' all gotta watch.

[Tricky Nick]

We're doing our part.

[Jeff]

I gotta look as like, a casual fan. Casual fans know the stars.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

So a casual fan would be like, oh, Steph Curry's playing. Oh, he might hit one of those crazy threes tonight.

[Lou]

I get it.

[Jeff]

Or like, oh, my boyfriend. Whole family is from New York. They love the Knicks. Oh, maybe I'll check it out. Why are they so hyped about the Knicks? Like, you know what I mean? Yeah, it's just a casual fan thing, so.

[Tricky Nick]

All right, man. The super chat.

[Jeff]

Like, nobody casually goes to Indiana.

[Tricky Nick]

No, you come here for work or a family member, for sure. All right, man. We'll revisit that shortly in the super chat. Living in Bremerton, Connor brochures real estate. He back again. My boy selling them houses. What was your favorite shoes to wear when hooping? My by far was a blue AE1 questions. Also, the NBA ratings are down since they left Seattle. Karma Gold Pacers. And shout out to the questions. Not a bad.

[Jeff]

I ain't never hooping them.

[Mook]

It was fat as hell.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I ain't never hooping.

[Tricky Nick]

Hooping them, man.

[Jeff]

Hooping. No questions. Miles is probably the Kobe fives.

[Mook]

Yeah, that was a Barkley.

[Lou]

Hard, though. I don't think I could hoop in them. I like Kobe's or K. I like the KDs. I don't know what number they was. I had the one with the strap on them.

[Tricky Nick]

84. Yeah, that was the joints for sure. My favorite basketball shoe of all time is that PG1, that shoe. I can't wait to that retro if. No, that's one of the hardest basketball.

[Jeff]

Shoes of all time. You know what's crazy about the PG one? Somebody stole my. You hear him laughing?

[Tricky Nick]

He got him again. Turn up.

[Jeff]

Move that. Still hooping in the to this day.

[Lou]

I retired.

[Jeff]

Oh, you retired. You moved on to the James hard. James Hard. Shout out to DJ he hooped it up for how long?

[Lou]

You hooped it up for a minute.

[Jeff]

[Tricky Nick]

It was the first one, the black one.

[Jeff]

[Mook]

That's crazy. It's a thief in every family.

[Jeff]

It ain't got no number no more.

[Lou]

That number gone for sure.

[Jeff]

Oh, no, it's gone.

[Tricky Nick]

Who got more buckets in the shoes? Now we can take it to the bottom.

[Jeff]

I didn't even get aware though.

[Lou]

Three years I put it working.

[Tricky Nick]

For sure. All right, man. Yo, Raheem in Super Chat said, happy birthday, Te. I can't wait to see y' all in New York. D.J. be ready.

[Jeff]

[Tricky Nick]

P. Hey, y' all gotta relax.

[Lou]

I got chill.

[Tricky Nick]

That's Marcus Houston house now. We'll talk about that later in the show. Just K the Super Chat said, who won the 1v1 out of Nacho and Mook when they both was in college?

[Jeff]

Be we was never in college together.

[Mook]

He probably saying, who would have won? I don't know.

[Jeff]

Uhoh.

[Mook]

Let them answer.

[Jeff]

He probably would have. He probably would have beat me. He was. He a one on one player. That's what he do. He play one on one. He beat everybody one on one. But I mean, I seen a highlight.

[Tricky Nick]

[Jeff]

Y' all think it's better than a Vogue to run out of club?

[Lou]

Oh, got a lot of space, I would say.

[Mook]

I don't think neither one of them got enough space, too.

[Lou]

I'm just saying. Spacewalks.

[Tricky Nick]

I fucking find to your podcast, man. Y' all doing great.

[Max Chafton]

Man.

[Jeff]

I gotta find out how I know.

[Tricky Nick]

Who that is now. He too tapped in. He too petty. Shout out to him though. All right, man. Percules. He still got the fars name in the chat, man. That's hilarious. This finals matchup is dookie. Hey, Jeff, in your prime, would you rather play with prom Dwight or prom Jokic? Happy birthday, by the way.

[Mook]

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah, y' all type picking roll would have been crazy for sure. All right, man. Jay gave me the super chat says be him. How you feel about Ed Jackson comments about Carolina?

[Mook]

Oh, no. Y' all know what he said?

[Jeff]

I know he said, it didn't.

[Lou]

It just didn't fit his style. That's all he said.

[Mook]

And he's right.

[Lou]

Yeah, he didn't say nothing wrong.

[Jeff]

I told him that when we sat down with him. Yeah. Or I sat down with him.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

I did his part.

[Lou]

I'm like, he threw a shot at North Carolina. It just didn't fit his game.

[Mook]

That's why he transferred. It ain't no love lost.

[Lou]

He was like the school fire. Everything was lit.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I told him that, though. I said, you got to be like a. A shooter, run, realm, runner, shooter, slasher, kind of player to play for them.

[Mook]

Do y' all think players listen like to coaches when they try to tell them shit like that.

[Jeff]

No more than less. They don't because people lie to them. Like, you gonna be able to come here and do your thing, boy. Then you like, you don't play like Wayne Ellington or Danny Green. Yeah, you need the rock. You need. He's a big east player.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jeff]

East coast guard. Like Carolina. You gotta be like a smooth running wing. Shoot jumpers, get out on the break and run the lane. Yeah, you can't be no ball dominant wing player.

[Mook]

I wonder if kids be thinking y' all hating that. Hating on them. Like, just say, got an offer from like Louisville or something. But Miami or Ohio is guaranteeing them. Oh, you know what I mean? Like, n go to Miami, Ohio. You feel me?

[Lou]

Nah, they ain't gonna see it that way. All they gonna hear is Louisville and then Miami Ohio. It's like, you know what I'm saying? Like, now you can't look at it that way. You gotta see what work best for you. But they ain't hearing that, bro. They go there and be like, I gotta transfer.

[Jeff]

Gotta see how they play, bro. Like, we got a kid. I always tell them to look at, like, what? Look at a player on their team and see if it resembles you. Like, do you see somebody that remind you of yourself? If you don't see nobody, remind yourself it's probably not the place for you.

[Mook]

Right? Got you.

[Tricky Nick]

That's real simple. And then you look at some of the, like, stars in the league. A lot of them didn't go to crazy schools. Like, some of them went to mid majors and made their own way. And now look at them. They're killing. Especially from a guard standpoint.

[Lou]

Yeah, especially in today game. They gonna find you, bro.

[Tricky Nick]

That's a fact.

[Jeff]

It don't matter. It don't matter what school you go to now.

[Lou]

They don't find you, bro.

[Jeff]

You can hoop. You gonna. They gonna come get you.

[Tricky Nick]

[Tricky Nick]

We talked about the ratings being down, but what do y' all think the NBA could do to help it? Obviously maybe it's too late for this series, but the next time they may have two franchises that may be in lower market.

[Mook]

The marketing, bro, just gas it up a little bit more. That's it. Make sure the commentating is far behind it too.

[Jeff]

I think they should like do I know Playback got their own little thing with the, you know, people can get on there and do their own little things with the game. I think they should have some real retired people that people are like, like seeing.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Call the games or have a another cast broadcast that's going on during the game. Maybe some other people would like to tap in with some people that they actually like. I know they tried to do that stuff with Kevin Hart and stuff but they should have some people that people really like watching basketball with. If you do it with LeBron and Steve Nash and them like LeBron, y' all didn't make it to the finals. Would y' all like to call the finals? And y' all own little version. Y' all get to sit down, have y' all drinks, and call the finals.

[Tricky Nick]

That'll be far.

[Lou]

And the world gonna watch LeBron.

[Jeff]

So they're gonna bam.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah. I'm guessing that's what NBC is trying to be on next year with Jordan be fired if Jordan exclusively called the finals.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Yeah. In his own way, though, it couldn't be like he's sitting courtside doing it like Richard Jefferson. It got to be like Mike got a cigar. And he talking the game now.

[Tricky Nick]

Mike, I'll be at the crib. I don't want him in the studio. I want just like the last dance. Isolated from everybody else with his own little iPad, looking. Hey, hey, let me smoke my cigar with this drink.

[Mook]

I think it's gonna be fire next year. Like, I think they're gonna listen to everybody, man, and make some changes. They don't want this to happen again. This is bad for the NBA.

[Jeff]

But just think of LeBron and Steve Nash was doing that. Like they call it. They doing a podcast anyway.

[Mook]

More people gonna be tuned in.

[Jeff]

I would have watched that.

[Mook]

Yeah.

[Tricky Nick]

Most definitely. All right, man. Before we get off the subject, Andrem yesterday said that he feels like Caruso is the thunderstorm most important player. Oh, yeah? How you feel about that?

[Jeff]

Who?

[Lou]

I ain't mad at that.

[Jeff]

Who?

[Mook]

Words, words, words of with you. They with you important. Yes.

[Lou]

I know why they're saying that too. Because you won't. You want that to be check, bro.

[Mook]

You know, it's chat.

[Tricky Nick]

That's exactly why I asked him.

[Lou]

You want it to be chat?

[Mook]

It is. Chad. Chet is the third best player Important for sure. Just cause he do everything, bro. He's a little scrappy. Little that do area.

[Jeff]

Hold on. This. This. This guy Caruso.

[Mook]

I never hated on Caruso.

[Lou]

We never hated him.

[Mook]

Yeah, he's trying to make that a thing. Like stop making everything. It's cool.

[Tricky Nick]

He said Lazo was before Mijello last night. Caruso in the finals.

[Mook]

Hey, they don't even play the same, though. That's my only beef with Jeff with Caruso and Lonzo ball.

[Jeff]

They do, though.

[Mook]

Lonzo don't play this hard, bro.

[Lou]

Going through lono guard. But not like he not diamond and running the office.

[Jeff]

Cause he don't got to.

[Mook]

Exactly.

[Lou]

So they not the same.

[Tricky Nick]

That's my whole point, literally.

[Jeff]

Lonzo is a glue Guy.

[Lou]

A different type of glue guy, though.

[Mook]

There we go.

[Tricky Nick]

Got Elmer's.

[Lou]

It's a different type of glue guy.

[Jeff]

And Caruso's. Elmer's. I don't know. The other glue. You got gorilla glue.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

So Lonzo, gorilla glue low.

[Lou]

Yeah.

[Mook]

When he Healthy. 100%.

[Jeff]

Yeah, man. They do the same thing. They both hit occasional threes, they both play defense, and they both move the ball. Caruso just end up.

[Mook]

Oh, shit. That project might fall apart.

[Jeff]

You crazy as hell. He was the glue guy on the Lakers. Wherever Caruso go, he is an important piece of the team.

[Mook]

He is, though. I'm talking.

[Jeff]

I'm gonna say I'm gonna keep it real. And that's just not me.

[Mook]

But you're not starting a team with Alex Caruso over Lonzo Ball. That was our whole spiel.

[Tricky Nick]

Would you say be hitting words?

[Lou]

You up everywhere Alonzo go, He important, bro.

[Tricky Nick]

Bro?

[Mook]

Yes, bro.

[Tricky Nick]

For real.

[Lou]

He just be hurt.

[Mook]

He's a legit starter in the NBA.

[Jeff]

Oh, he can start.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

But they. He'd never been on a good team. What team he been on. Have been good.

[Mook]

Always know what team he's been on. It'd be healthy.

[Jeff]

What team you on?

[Lou]

He never.

[Mook]

The Bulls team was cool.

[Lou]

He never get a fair shake at.

[Tricky Nick]

It.

[Lou]

Was gonna be at least a solid team.

[Mook]

They would have made the playoffs.

[Lou]

Yeah, they was gonna be a solid.

[Mook]

Team that made playoffs.

[Lou]

They probably wasn't going to win a chip or nothing, but they was going to be a solid.

[Tricky Nick]

Then New Orleans, you know, that was a different situation.

[Jeff]

Oh, what happened in New Orleans?

[Tricky Nick]

It was wicked. It was real wicked.

[Mook]

Hurt, bro.

[Jeff]

And it's what Gilly be doing.

[Lou]

Always hurt.

[Mook]

Starting pg. He ain't healthy.

[Tricky Nick]

Worth a quarter.

[Lou]

He always hurt, bro. He don't get a fair try at it.

[Tricky Nick]

All right, man. We go wish Lonzo.

[Jeff]

I'm just saying. What y' all tell me? The best availability. I mean, best ability availability. You know what I meant? Come on. Best ability.

[Tricky Nick]

That's a fact.

[Lou]

If we're going off that, then Caruso, because he available. But if they both on the court.

[Jeff]

No.

[Tricky Nick]

Fair is fair.

[Lou]

No.

[Jeff]

So you taking Lonzo with the knee right now? With Crusoe?

[Lou]

Yes.

[Jeff]

He's a liar.

[Lou]

To start my team.

[Jeff]

Bro. Nasty game, bro. It got lit towards the end.

[Mook]

What team would y' all play for? What position would you play?

[Jeff]

When I play, When I play baseball.

[Tricky Nick]

I was a shortstop, and I did where I'd be a pitcher for the New York Yankees.

[Lou]

I wanna be the pitcher for the Yankees or the Dodgers. Bro, either one.

[Mook]

Y' all wanna be a pitcher?

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah, I pitched growing up.

[Jeff]

I was a short. I played shortstop in center field. So I play for. I used to wanna play for the Giants. Cause I used to love Barry Bonds.

[Tricky Nick]

One of the coldest baseball players of all time.

[Mook]

It's a wild city to be in, though.

[Jeff]

I mean, I'm not picking it for the city, bro. I would say, but Barry Bonds, but.

[Mook]

Put your whole living environment in there, too. Like, where would you rock out?

[Jeff]

Me?

[Mook]

Would you play for the Astros? Would you play for the Marlins? Would you play for the Yankees?

[Lou]

The Astros would be fire or the Marlins. If I can live in Houston or Miami and be a pitcher, I play for the Braves.

[Tricky Nick]

And no state income tax in both those places. So you. You picking, right?

[Jeff]

I'll play for the Braves.

[Tricky Nick]

But if you're the coldest Yankee or you a cold Yankee, bro, Like, you're damn near a guy, bro.

[Mook]

[Jeff]

Oh, you picking like that. I thought New York, though, bro. I don't.

[Mook]

[Mook]

Yeah, I'll be a king in Cincinnati. I'll play for the Reds.

[Jeff]

You might as well play for the team here.

[Mook]

Nah, bro, The Reds is far.

They jerseys and stuff are. But they are not the vibes. Let me shout out to my Reds fans, you know what I'm saying? I go through with y' all as well, but. Yeah, it's quiet.

[Jeff]

Yeah, it's super quiet. I mean, you might expect the Cubs, though.

[Lou]

I will go to the shot, bro.

[Mook]

That is fire.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah, bro. I wouldn't advise that, bro. I'm gonna be an MLB guy.

[Lou]

If you're in Chicago, the Cubs are the White.

[Jeff]

[Max Chafton]

A lot of times, the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small ways. Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding, but the price has gone up, so now I only buy one. The demand curve in action. And that's just one of the things we'll be covering on Everybody's Business. From Bloomberg Business Week, I'm Max Chavkin. And I'm Stacey Vanek Smith.

Welcome to the youe versus you podcast. I'm Lex Borrero, and every week we sit down with some of the biggest names in entertainment to talk about the real stuff, the struggles, the doubts, and the breakthroughs that made them who they are.

I'm Michael Kassin founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sud, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so called niche into mainstream gold. Connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.

[Max Chafton]

What others dismiss as niche we embrace as core. It's this idea that there's so many stories out there and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content. The term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.

Listen to Good company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.

[Michael Kassin]

Across the country, cops called this Taser the revolution.

[Angeli Sud]

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

[Max Chafton]

Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

[Angeli Sud]

[Mook]

He already ranked them.

[Tricky Nick]

He already ranked them. So he went 2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, in his opinion, obviously. What do we think after listening six again? It's a production, Wayne. So the Goat. I've heard a lot of people in the music industry talking about they're going to actually make their own version of the album. And I probably. Probably excited to hear that one because I don't want to hear the other one again. But we talked about this a little bit. But what's y' all favorite?

[Jeff]

Two quarters mine is one and two.

[Tricky Nick]

One and two.

[Tricky Nick]

You know what's funny? If you ask the age group just a little bit younger than us, they gonna tell you three is go.

[Jeff]

Yeah, that's cause they're the only one. They heard like, you gotta think he dropped that shit after the VH ones after that award show, he did Lollipop, then the album Drop or whatever. So that's all they gonna remember. Remember they went outside when one dropped. They only remember lwayne with the tight pants and the dreads. The. The long dreads.

[Tricky Nick]

They don't know about. The block is hot.

[Mook]

[Tricky Nick]

He dropped them back to back and then did the dedication series and then did drop through three.

[Jeff]

[Tricky Nick]

That was summer 082. I had just graduated high school when that dropped. It was cracking, though. Everybody was excited about that. But the leak was the real album. And the leak was Fire Carter 3.

[Jeff]

That mug was nice, though.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah. For you to get your whole album scrapped and then make that off the fly is fire to me. That's why I give it more praise than most people should.

[Jeff]

All right. We Gonna celebrate on June 29th, though. 2004.

[Tricky Nick]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

When a Carter 1 dropped, man.

[Mook]

And then with the wire, you hook it up to your CD player.

[Jeff]

Yeah, his car was weak. Cause we had to listen to the whole. The whole album. We couldn't go back.

[Tricky Nick]

The funny part about this bill is six' four. There's no way he should have been in the tempo.

[Jeff]

Oh, yeah, that car was passed down.

Okay, have you heard about this? Last year, Degree changed the formula for their Cool Rush deodorant. The fans rebelled and wanted the old scent back and Degree listened to and that doesn't happen often. They admitted they effed up and are bringing the original Cool Rush scent back and it's exactly how you remember it. Cool, crisp and fresh. There's a reason why it's the number one man's antiperspirant and it's back in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under $4. So try it and see what the fuss is about. Head to your local Walmart, Target and try to OG Cool Rush for yourself.
