Quentin Grimes literally did this, but he was making a move. I'm not saying Quinn Grimes probably won three or four games, too. I'm just saying, bro, he said when you pulled up to the arena is he was agent. He was agent, and he was an end. He had a perfect setup. He was an agent. He was in New York. He in New York.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Damn, boy. Back to where the minivan started. Hey, let my boy get a shot of.

[DJ]

Let my boy get the swazi or nothing, man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

This team is not for you, bro. Only you, bro.

[DJ]

And the reason why is because. So Chris Buet yesterday.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's. That's where it started for him, though. Go ahead. Go to Utah. Go back to Utah where they love you, man.

[DJ]

Back to the origin. All right. Shout out to the minivan. All right, man. We're gonna have some fun, man. We're gonna start off with both conferences today. We're gonna do the west. Break down each division. Want to see how y' all feeling about there. The best teams in there and we gonna make a five out of the conference as well. We'll start with the Northwest Division. We got okc. We got Denver. We got the Timberwolves. We got the Blazers and the Jazz. All right, who going to be the best team in this division?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Okc.

[DJ]

Okc. Landslide.

[Ryan Seacrest]

No, but they probably be the best. They the front runner.

[DJ]

Okay.

[Ryan Seacrest]

How you feeling? Be here. I'm going go with the young guy. I'mma take okc.

[DJ]

Who's going to be the best player in this division this year?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Joker. I'm going to go with Anthony Edwards. I'm going to go with Shay again.

[DJ]

Okay, I like that. A you think a going to take this step?

[Ryan Seacrest]

He has to. He's at that point where it's like you've been, you know, you've been a star. He's been playing well in the playoffs. He had good runs. It's time to be mentioning the MVP conversation is this year four, this is. It's more into his fifth year.

[DJ]

They're going to think this is year five.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, okay.

[DJ]

Well, I mean, we can look it up, obviously, but.

[Ryan Seacrest]

So you think now is the time for him? That's when most people start, like, taking elite. Yeah, I mean, he's. He's been killing. What year is it? So you think he'll average 30 this year? Wow. Okay. Yeah. No average 30. I ain't gonna say. I think you average about that. 28, 29. But just, like, everything gonna go up. Oh, so he's about to be at 6? Yeah. Okay. I just think he gonna take that.

[DJ]

Superstar leap, and he's had some success in the postseason so far. Like you said, that's the only way to go now. Do you think they put a good enough roster around him to go to the next level?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I think that's what's gonna make it a leap because now he used to. That team. Cat was a different team. They get. You know, they get their team, they get junior, Junior. And that's a whole different squad. Right. So you had to get used to playing with that team. Now he's used to playing with that team. They brought him back. I think this is the year he take that big. That big. League MVP conversation ain't mad.

[DJ]

That tight be him.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah, you know, I'm rocking with my boy. I wish him nothing but the best. He been averaging a dub since he got to the league, so. Bro. Right. It's time for him to move on. I just think yoke is getting 50, 40, and 20 a night. It's kind of hard to. Yeah. I mean, okay, so.

[DJ]

And you know what I'm saying, the Nuggets, they've definitely upgraded that team as well. So you might see a different level of Joker Mook with sga. Think it's time to say he gets respect over there.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. I just think he in a crazy rhythm right now. I don't see him slowing down no time soon. Bro. He gonna average 30. Yeah, they gonna be good. They gonna be top two seed again. I don't know. Yeah.

[DJ]

You're looking at that championship roster. They ain't lose nothing.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah, they ain't lose nothing. They're still gonna be one of the top teams.

[DJ]

Sure. All right, man. That's gonna a real tough division.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You know how people like to. People tired. Not saying they tired of sga, but he been good for two years. Somebody you looking for something new, you're gonna be the next person. Like they got tired of Giannis.

[DJ]

Yeah, photo fatigue is real ugly. Who could be a surprise team in that division?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Blazers.

[DJ]

Blazers. Okay. Blazer on the rise.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Not even on the rise. Ain't nobody else I think might have choice. I don't know. He taking the Jazz over the Blazers? Oh, hell no. I don't want to, but the Blazers are not that good direction than Jazz, though, bro. Jazz is just out there.

[DJ]

There's five people on this roster that may not be there by the start of season.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Kevin Love, probably. Yeah.

[DJ]

Like, he said he wants to be in LA either way. So clipboard like Kevin Love do whatever.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He want, but you got walk. He literally does. Funny as hell, bro. Literally does anything he wants to do. He just. That's why I don't even. I didn't know he was in the NBA these last two years. I swear, when they said. When they said Kevin Love got trade, I said Kayla's still playing. I love how Caleb just go about life.

[DJ]

Caleb tweets are hilarious, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's hilarious. He's the best thing in the NBA right now. He don't stay in there at all. Well, he's not. He's going to have fun. He's gonna play for the Lakers or the Clippers. Coin toss.

[DJ]

Just vibe out.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean, go to the Blazers roster. I just want y' all to break it down. Show me, like, why they. Well, they still got some quality players. They got Drew Holiday.

[DJ]

They got Draw.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They got it. Grant.

[DJ]

You how Camara. Shane Sharp.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nice. I like Shane Sharp. They said he's coming off the pond because they want to trade him, but they can't find no trades for him. So how to make too much money? Come off the bench. They gonna be like six men getting buckets. They out of pocket. That's what they said, bro.

[DJ]

That's tough.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Have Jeremy Grant come off your vision with that roster.

[DJ]

I said we need to go in a different direction, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We're going in a different direction. We're gonna replace him. Kevin Love. Caleb Love. I mean, nah. They got what's my boy. The young boy that's all defense.

[DJ]

Tomato Kamara.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Yeah, they got obvious. He was killing last year. Yeah, he was hooping. I remember y' all talking about him a lot. What about talent? What school? Guys, this make a break year for school. I ain't gonna say make a break, but you're gonna have to show something. Yeah. And the contract extension here, 12 and 5 is smooth.

[DJ]

Now go get 15 so you get paid.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But I'm not 12 and 5. And this. Yeah. And this NBA is kind of. He can be a backup. Yeah, but 12 and 5 in this NBA, you got to project a high pick like that. That's kind of bad. It just ain't him. But when you. I'm just saying, when you're a number two pick and they hand to you a franchise. Yeah, no, that's not good at all for this situation. But he can be a good backup.

[DJ]

What you're saying in relative terms. Yes, it is good.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But he's showing us who he is, bro. Yeah. I mean, he could be a good backup, play defense like you good. For some reason, I think he gonna have one of them. What's our boy from Chicago?

[DJ]

Kobe Wyatt.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He gonna have one of them Kobe White years. Remember how we all kind of not say we wrote Kobe White off? But I was just kind of like, he can't dribble with his left hand kind of thing. And he came back and was averaging like 17, 18, whatever it was. I think this is a year now that'd be. Fire school did that. I think this is the year for that. He got the tools, the assignments is gone.

[DJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They brought Dane back. That's gonna be a good person to work with. Probably help him with his jump shot a lot. But Drew Holiday is a person that is like a Swiss army knife. He's not a dominating I need the ball type of person. He get off the ball and let's let school play. And I think he needed that. Like Simons was more of a score and he gotta try to fit in around him. Getting Drew Holiday is gonna help him a lot. I think he gonna have an 18, 18 and 6 kind of. Yeah. FGA's probably should go up, play like Drew Holiday. For real?

[DJ]

Yeah. And like you said, if he started adapting to that way. Yeah, you can get 15 player, Drew.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, but I mean, give me the Blazers over there. I just think he got more of an opportunity this year. Yeah, I mean, like Avia and Shane Sharp still gonna try and do their thing, but you ain't got to worry about a real. Another guard. Really. You got. You're gonna have the ball. I like him too. He big. What is he, like six, four strong? He could be good. Now he wanted people.

[DJ]

Once he gets a chance to figure it out, hopefully they're patient enough with him.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But I think once he figured out.

[DJ]

He could be real effective.

[Ryan Seacrest]

For sure.

[DJ]

All right, man, let's hop in the super chat before we go to the next division. Rac, the golden boy says, what's the over under on how many dildos get thrown on the court and arrested WNBA week.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, they are.

[DJ]

They gotta cut that out.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's crazy. Oh, boy. Was in jail for that. Yeah, but they Just happened. I just showed y' all last night.

[DJ]

It happened in the Fever game. All right.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm gonna go to jail with it.

[DJ]

Yeah, now you're hitting players. It's gonna get wicked now, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, it's gonna be assault.

[DJ]

Yeah, straight up. This is crazy, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I don't want to go sit in court and talk about that, bro. Why are they doing it?

[DJ]

Yeah, but what we doing?

In 1920, a magazine article announced something incredible. Two young girls had photographed real fairies. But even more extraordinary than the magazine article's claim was the identity of the man who wrote the article. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The man who wrote Sherlock Holmes? Yes, the man who invented literature's most brilliant detective was fooled by two girls into thinking fairies were real. How did they do it? And why does it seem like so many smart people keep falling for outlandish tricks? These are the questions we explore in Hoax, a new podcast from me, Dana Schwartz, the host of Noble Blood, and me, Lizzy Logan.

[Lizzy Logan]

Every episode, we'll explore one of the most audacious and Ambitious tricks in history, from the fake Shakespeares to balloon boys. And try to answer the question of why we believe what we believe.

Cause I'm really talking to him. All right, bro, now you out of pocket. Yeah, you like a little leprechaun. You like. And I'm laughing because I'm like, he don't even know it's me a little bit, though. Yeah. Dom kind of nudged me. Like, bro, tap in type. He was like, see, they know what's up. Yeah, but now you catch on after a while. Like, you ain't catch on the r truth at first. No. He start acting like you. Yeah. I'm like, he don't know what he doing. I'm the only be here. I'm like, well, see, but I always. When we be talking to him and. And that. I think that make the show dope, though, when I don't know and they know what's up. That's cool, cuz it flow. But they don't be telling me, bro, Jeff didn't tell me that. This be acting like different people. Your reaction, for real? Okay. I knew you was going to talk about Roy Mysterio like his dad. I knew he was going to be like, man, he trash. Like, I'm the Best myster you was gonna be like, what you talking about? That's why I just kept laughing like, go ahead, man. What blew me with him, though, is the custody. Oh, all right. What we doing?

[DJ]

Yeah, the custody match, baby.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Shout out to Donald, though.

[DJ]

He was dope for sure, man. Some WWE content on the what? It's on the Patreon as well. And on YouTube. Tap in for sure. T. Dante says, if y' all were the commissioner of wnba, what y. What would y' all do about the Flying Doe crisis?

[Ryan Seacrest]

There's really nothing you can do, bro, unless you mess up on that security.

[DJ]

Yeah, once I found somebody, just make it up.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Check them purses and bags. But I feel like when you go to the NBA game, they do that, though. They do get them in, like for you to push fire wearing them for them securities to see it. I told y' all they was wearing them. I won't, believe me. You can't check nobody like that because smuggling adults, they let you walk by, you know, get you a little bowl, and you go home. Nobody down. Bro, you gotta turn that to the club. I told y', all it's the gay club tonight, right? Pat these full floors. Show me them titties today. Wild facts, bro. People are going to keep doing this. This ain't stopping nothing, bro.

[DJ]

Well, all you got to do is make one bad punishment for the person who get caught. They just got to take a crazy ass punishment.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Jail, bro.

[DJ]

They going to make it worse, bros. They got to stop it somehow, bro. Cuz like you said, change the light.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Ban them. Ain't going to be banned.

[DJ]

Yeah, they're gonna be banned. They got.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They gotta ban them from the arena.

[DJ]

Yeah, they got better from here.

[Ryan Seacrest]

[DJ]

This on three months I play.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I can't.

[DJ]

I can take that far.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, Ptob. I throw them on the TV there. Oh, man.

[DJ]

Out of pocket. All right, let's go.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Throw them in the tv. And now, you know what? That want to be tight. Not being funny, but for real, though. Hop on the stream. They get on the stream without.

[DJ]

Yeah, stop.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Miscellaneous. I'm just playing. I'm just.

[DJ]

Shout out to the dos, man. Do better. Joker says Napstown got the best high school hoops in Indiana. What city is number two? Gary Fort Way or South B.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Never been none of them. The G for sure. The G. Shout.

[DJ]

We are about to play Gary school.

[Ryan Seacrest]

This year, though, so 21st century. Yeah, they got a Hooper on their team. Got a couple Hoopers on their team. So I guess I'm go with the G, too.

[DJ]

Shout out to.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Got a good squad, too. We lost to him. Yeah. Riley or. Yeah, we played him. This. We wasn't there. We lost him. No, I was there. We played him in. Was there? Yeah, we played them in the morning. Everybody was part. That was killing. Yeah, everybody was sleep. I remember him. Yeah. And we came back in like three minutes. We played them in the summer, though, this year. I was confused about that game.

[DJ]

But no, it's super loud around the state, man. Pick a city. You're gonna find a good basketball player and team for sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Shout out to Indiana, period.

[DJ]

You know the boss. The Pacific Division. We got the Lakers, the Clippers, the warriors, the Kings, and the Suns. All right, who the best team in the division?

[Ryan Seacrest]

That's a good one, y'. All. Yeah, Paper will say the Clippers, but I'm gonna pick the Lakers.

[DJ]

Okay?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Be him. Clippers.

[DJ]

You want Clippers?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Mo. I'm gonna go Clippers. Okay. Piper would say Clippers. I'm gonna pick Lakers. Just because some reason Clippers be just losing Random.

[DJ]

All right, man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And we gotta act like the Lakers wasn't like top five last year. Top four, surprisingly. Yeah. It's gonna be good, though, DeAndre. I'm gonna take the Lakers. I just. I just think the Clippers is too deep for the Lakers. I ain't gonna say that. I mean, when you got LeBron and Luca got a lot of people, though. They all older, though, like this. A young Luca, a young Aiden, young Reeves. Only old one they got is Brian. And we don't even know if he really old. Like, he might be a alien or something. Yeah, I got to. The Clippers is. Is teeing strong, bro. No, I'm not saying that. The Clippers on paper is fire. You know how I go, though. We used to say the Suns on paper was fire. That's true. God forbid the Clippers even get any near close to what them did.

[DJ]

Oh, no, that won't have. Tyler ain't going for that. They'll figure something out.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But I think the Lakers are going to be top four again this year, though. Yeah.

[DJ]

Okay. Who's the best player in that division?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Luca. Yeah, Luca. I'm gonna take Kawhi right now. Yeah. I'm taking Luke.

[DJ]

Taking Kawhi.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He'll take Koala. In it.

[DJ]

Interesting.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Better than that. Yeah. Or overall. Right now, Today. Yeah. After I seen a picture of Luke. I'm taking Luke back, man. I'll take Luca. I don't think I went MVP, but I'm just 28, 8, 7. Yeah. Luca. Yeah, right. I'm gonna come back to reality. He is on that zipper.

[DJ]

And that's when he was supposed out of shape.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[DJ]

That might be a 30 ball out of shape.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Luca, bro. 28, 8, 7. I ain't gonna lie. Boy was fat. They showed pictures of Luca. Legend. That boy was fat.

[DJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

666-230- Nah, it was about 245 last year.

[DJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I'm rolling.

[DJ]

Okay. Who gonna be the most surprising team in this division?

[Ryan Seacrest]

The Suns, bro.

[DJ]

The Suns?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. They gonna be good.

[DJ]

They gonna make the playoffs?

[Ryan Seacrest]

No. Okay. Them or the Warriors? I mean, I don't know if it's really. I don't know if it's surprising, though. Yeah, that's the thing. So the Suns is. They'll be a surprise. I think we expect the warriors to be good with Steph, Jimmy and Dre. They gotta find a big, though. What kind of be like. I mean, they need. They need Al Horford bad.

[DJ]

He's still white.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Stretch big. Oh, yeah. You got to be able to pass and shoot. Yeah. You can't have two bigs out there with Draymond. So it almost got to be Al Horford then. For real. Who else is left? I don't know.

[DJ]

Yeah, that's where they get a little wicked.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I wish they would have got J. Huff. No disrespect to the Pacers, but it.

[DJ]

Would have been perfect Big for now.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. Yeah. They do need a big. But I guess we'll see.

[DJ]

Am I trying?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[DJ]

It wouldn't be a bad pickup for though.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That'd be nasty, actually.

[DJ]

And they said if they can't move him, we're gonna get bought out. So they can afford. But they might consider it out.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. All right, man.

[DJ]

Clippers, man. On paper. A lot of people out on the scene. We gonna see.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I think they get okay see about it here. My guys. I think the Clippers in the seven game series. I know that's we speaking ahead, but I think they'll beat their ass. Okay.

[DJ]

Be hand cooking early.

[Ryan Seacrest]

All right.

[DJ]

Let's get back in the super chat with it. JWJ says bro, y' all ass be happy rolling at work. Be hand look like an all Star in that J episode. But who's the better team in Texas? We need that Houston show.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Best Team in Texas. Houston Rockets.

[DJ]

Rockets light work.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, full stream.

[DJ]

Dallas today compete with them. Yeah, but we gotta wait to see when Kyrie get back.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He's not coming back this year.

[DJ]

Yeah, I was already gonna say next year pretty much is a watch, but full strength.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I. I like Dallas.

[DJ]

Okay?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Full strength. I'm still gonna take the Rockets. Damn.

[DJ]

Spurs ain't got a chance between them two right now.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Not right now.

[DJ]

Okay, fair enough.

[Ryan Seacrest]

With Kevin Durant and that. That Thompson twin boy.

[DJ]

Yeah, the Rockets. Robson, man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Thompson twin different bro. Shout out to my boy Van Flee.

[DJ]

You already know the vibes.

[Ryan Seacrest]

That Thompson twin. Oh, yeah, they got Thompson twin bro.

[DJ]

Josh went down there, got a little bag.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Shepherd. Damn. Josh on the Rockets. Yup. Jabari this.

[DJ]

Yeah. They got a whip, man. I ain't gonna lie. We gotta see what happens. But they got a whip.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I just got a lot of stock in that Thompson twin. Like, I just think he gonna take a leap. Rightfully so. Another leap. I mean, he was good last year. I think he gonna be great next year.

[DJ]

I ain't mad at it. I mean, we've only seen nothing but greatest from him. So that's what's up.

[Ryan Seacrest]

If he ever figured out how to.

[DJ]

Shoot the ball, it's over.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, man, he top 10 player in the NBA. Damn. He figured out how to shoot the ball. You can't guard him. He like a Kawhi Leonard. Yeah, his ass. He way more athletic than Kawhi Leonard. Yeah. And got handles. I mean, skills like. Only thing he can't do is shoot. Why everybody don't say this about his brother? Because they play the same way.

[DJ]

To me, I was about to say, I think that people sleeping on how.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Good he could be. He could be good too. They both the same, but he got like a different. He look a little stronger. A different. They both got a crazy gear. Like, if you went to their highlights, they both look crazy. But that, that mug and. Yeah, it's just a little different. Yeah.

[DJ]

But if SAR can take a leap too, that makes Dallas.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[DJ]

I mean, even much better.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They both could be all star, capable players. But that one in Hous, Houston, just. That's. Yeah, the one in Houston just ready to be all star. Like right now he got like another year. Like, he might average Detroit when my average 15. Next year he can average 19, 18, 19. He could be Jalen Johnson. One of them also plays 10 minutes. I mean 22 minutes. And the other one plays 32. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[DJ]

The one in Detroit. I mean, you got Tobias Harris. You had Tim Hardaway junior. Sorry. Yeah, his minutes was definitely lower. Opportunity was definitely there for a man as well. That's why I said he could take that lead.

[Ryan Seacrest]

10 to 20 minutes. He's hooping, bro. Oh, no, he nice too.

[DJ]

Now five rebounds and you playing crazy defense too.

[Ryan Seacrest]

But they situations is different. Like. Like you said, he played 22 minutes, he played 30. That mean they already believe. Like. Yeah, we see what we need to see. Other ones it's like. Ah, nah, I see what you're saying. You know what I mean? Like. Yeah, they got a chance. They believe already. Yeah.

[DJ]

And Detroit happy to finally have best. They can rely upon getting to buyers, getting tsj. They was all right. We can let them get these men, develop our young guys. We gotta keep throwing them into the fire.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah. But I think with Jay and Ivy returning, might slow him down a little bit. I hope not. Yeah. Cause he a two guard. Two, three. And they still got the other kid that they drafted high. He shoot better than the one in Detroit though. One in Detroit can't shoot. Not even a little bit.

[DJ]

Yeah, so I got one of the jump shot for sure.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[DJ]

Yeah. The promise is there for both of them, gentlemen.

[Ryan Seacrest]

For sure. But that boy from Houston fired a jump shot. You good? It's cooked. I ain't never seen nobody that athletic. Nah, he's crazy. He the most athletic player I think I ever seen. More than Vince Carter. Like Vince Carter could jump. I'm talking about like pure athleticism. Like all across the board. Quickness, fast run jump. Like he is ridiculous. Yeah, like he like LeBron. Ish. Like LeBron was way bigger. Like Gerald Green was like that too though. But he wasn't fast. And like quick like Gerald, like go watch. Can you talk about his was probably fast. He probably wasn't as quick though. Yeah, change her neck used to get up to four, bro. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I mean he probably was a track runner, but this dude, he changed direction. Changed direction. He can guard. Like his lateral quickness is crazy. Like, man, he could have been a not Gerald Green, bro. Do get up there. Yeah, that floor, bro. He knew get up there. He did. He threw on the floor. But I'm just talking about pure athleticism. Like if you put him in a combine. Yeah. All his numbers gonna be across the board. True. I got you like Vince Carter. Leaping ability like every. Like that's crazy. It's just say that up, bro. Yeah, he dumb quick. He's.

[DJ]

Hey, contact too. Get off me.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Nah. Yeah, I see what you're Saying like this. He everywhere. He like a.

[DJ]

You gotta play this. Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He'll be all over that floor. Yeah.

[DJ]

Know what this is?

[Ryan Seacrest]

Oh, God. Hey, I remember we did that one. Yeah. No, I pe. I PE with you. What you saying? Like what? Some, like some of his highlights when he was in like high school and ot. His high school. That high school look crazy, bro. That's a fact.

[DJ]

The promise is there, man. You shall see this year South Sports page 24 says I went back to my high school gym for some open runs. I have the same reclassified back a year. I personally think that it is dumb. Do you think it makes sense for young Hoopers to reclassify?

[Ryan Seacrest]

I mean. Yeah. And this, in this, like, climate, it's pointless to go to school and be 17 now. Unless you're just a superstar. Unless you like a guy that's gonna be unbelievable. Like, if you Cooper flag. Like a lot of. Like a lot of guys body don't mature. Like, you could be 16 as a senior going to college at 17 and you might not be mature enough. You behind the eight ball because you play against 28 year olds. Facts. True. That'd be a confidence killer. For real. Facts. But if you, if you like that, like, shout out to our guy, Dylan Harper and those guys, younger guys, freshmen, who were already ready. Yeah. Like they could have went out of high school. Yeah, well, a lot. Big. Yeah. Yes. Him and Cooper Fly could have went out of high school. Ace Bailey could have went out of high school. They was already ready for that. I agree. But if I'm like a young guy and I'm 138 pounds. Nah. Yeah. Take that developmental process. Yeah. I was gonna like. I ain't hit a growth spurt in eighth grade. I'm still 5 4, but I'm only 13. Oh, yeah. You probably need to go play chess. I mean, you sound like a horror store trying to make it. I mean, that's how five four one was.

[DJ]

Yeah.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Gordon Hayward was small as hell, bro. AD was small. Jesus. Boys be small, bro. But some people don't, bro. So you might be just getting held back for no reason. Yeah. Don't hold me back at 5 7. I'm shitty. I'm running away. But what about. Hey, what about you 12 years old, you about to turn 13 going to the 8th grade. You 12 going to the 8th grade. And hold you back, you 5 7. Maybe you only grow to 510 going to your freshman year. Show me my family tree, bro. Facts. I'm nothing. I got a uncle that's up There facts, bro. We all five, nine. Come on, bro.

[DJ]

If I'm beat the odds, I'mma be different, bro.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I swear to God, if you would have redid a grade in my school, bro. Got roasted, bro. Basketball, bro. Yeah. Flat out. So please know your kids like ability. But that's. That's the thing now, though. Everybody reclassify now. It's like, normal for the play. A lot of kids do that now.

[DJ]

We are doomed.

[Ryan Seacrest]

I was trying, bro. Me. Yeah. I would never reclass. I couldn't understand that first. But everybody do it now. But I think about it, though, like, we would have reclassed you, even though it worked out. Like, you would have been crazy. Yeah, but I did the same thing in my grade, so it wouldn't have made a difference. Yeah, but just think about it. Like your draft class, you would have been true. That draft class was weak. Yeah. Yeah. You like going to high school. I don't even know who that number one player was that year. Who was it the year at the. I don't know either. I mean, you could have put a helmet on for. You could keep that thing in one class. He was super young, though. I was young. Yeah. Supposed to read in the lower. Yeah. Like, I was older. Like, my birthday was late. Yeah. So people used to talk about, how old are you? Like, 18. They like, damn, you 18? Like, yeah, I'm a senior. You old as hell. I be like, well, all my friends like, yeah, you would have been the one player more. Well, that. That ner. No, ain't his life, boy. In the NBA. Who, Nerland? Yeah.

[DJ]

And that's on the extension, boy. Shout out to nervous.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He doesn't got the ball rolling with that. I wonder where he at right now. Do you still play overseas or anything? Oh, I don't know. Shouting boy. I had a lot of faith in him. I remember they said he was the next AD I said, but y' all drunk as hell. All you had to do was take the money. Oh, no. I mean, but I'm saying, like, of course not. He wasn't A.D. i'm just saying all he had to do was take the money, bro. They were saying he the best shot blocker. He. He blocked shots better than A.D. i'm like, man, y' all crazy. He was blocking, but he looks crazy, bro. Yeah.

[DJ]

Before he got hurt, he was.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Man, he was hooping. But I was like, AD Nah. Y' all drunk. That's one of the people which I always talk about it. The people that's with you because your career up the wrong. Bad Choice 74 Year 75 oh my Lord.

[Lizzy Logan]

Have you ever looked at a piece of abstract art or music or poetry and thought that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense? Well, that's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II when they pulled off what was either a bold literary hoax or a grand poetic experiment, publishing over a dozen intentionally bad but highly acclaimed works of expressionist poetry under the name Ern Malley. In an incident that caused a media firestorm and even a criminal trial, the Ern Malley episode made fools of believers and critics alike and still fascinates poetry lovers to this day. We break down the truth, the lies, and the poetry in between on Hoax, a new podcast hosted by me, Lizzie.

Logan and me, Dana Schwarzenegger. Every episode, Hoax explores an audacious fraud or ruse from history, from forged artworks to the original fake news. To try and answer why we believe.

Y' all let me play wing. I average 30. It's easy. It's easy to score. Ain't nobody guarding me. So do y' all just on 2k, do y' all just play to, like, 21, or is it like a time limit? A game? Okay, I'll be cooking. I cooked 30 next game. I guess who was trying to gum me up. Who? Mouth.

I never wanted to get Assist like that, bro. He want to get a buck, you bring the ball up with a. With a big mouth, he get ripped. You know, he my nephew, so I can't never say, like. Like, I'm a ride. I'mma ride out with my family every time. So I'm like, yo, yo, let's make sure we get the ball to the right people in clutch. You know? I mean, play in the game.

[DJ]

It's crazy.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Hey, get that ball. Ready? Yeah. Let's get the ball to the right people now. None of that. One time we was on stream, bro, the streamers. Everybody on the stream was like, get a ball to check.

But get that ball to me, man.

[DJ]

Tap me with the twitch, man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

My boy. You know what I mean?

[DJ]

Do better mouth. All right, man. All day says comedian doesn't want to play for the warriors, but as an unrestricted, the warriors probably told him in teams they would match it. That's why teams are offering trades. Plus, some teams need to cap. Yeah, I don't know what that situation is, man.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Sometimes whoever his agent is, is. You got to call. Tell them to call their bluff. If you want me, if the sun's on them Kings, on whoever the team's at wanting. You know how to word the contract. Front loaded, backloaded, whatever it is. No trade clause. Whatever. Something to make the warriors uncomfortable. If you really want Kaminga that bad, I'm starting to think that they don't want him that bad. And it's like, I like to have them. I wouldn't love. I mean, we take them, we love to have them, but it ain't. We ain't about to break our necks to get them. Yeah. Because if that is the case, I've seen plenty of people get no trade clauses and stuff that will make sure that a team will not sign back. Okay, well said. Put that trade kicker in there. 15% trade kicker, all type of stuff.

[DJ]

Yeah, and they playing the game, too. We just gonna wait. Cause guess what? Your price is gonna go down now. So y' all include. So one way or another, we'll see, man. All right. Molly. Ma, the super chat said, what's good? 520 in yalls opinion other than his size.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Pause.

[DJ]

What advantage does Canelo have over Buddy? But it's a better counter puncher, more athletic, faster, and better footwork.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He don't got no advantage. He's just stronger. And he going up in so much weight. Canelo, like, naturally walks around like that at a bigger size. Pause, like, that's the advantage. And I don't want. We want to see if Terrence Crawford can handle Canelo power. And that first two rounds, if he can handle the power. I think Bug and Biddy, because I think he a better boxer. But Canelo, man. Yeah, he's strong as.

[DJ]

No, for real. I'm really looking forward to his fight matchups.

[Ryan Seacrest]

We go see, like, he not gonna knock Canelo out, so he gonna have to box the out of Canelo. Canelo can knock Bud out, but Bud is on boxing, though. Yeah, I'm saying he gonna have to. He gonna have to box him up. Canelo got enough power to knock Bud out. Out. Bud not gonna knock Canelo out. That's dead. But Bug gonna have to. Floyd Mayweather, that boy. Somebody give us some good tickets, man.

[DJ]

Tap in. Look, man, what if Bud knocked out? That's a far.

Hopefully, man. Y' all see Devonta Adams put up please that tweet.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He said something crazy.

[DJ]

Nah, he's talking about Travis Hunter reading a sweet. He says I don't think it's even possible to do for real. Not at a high level. It's a lot of mileage, man. I'm not concerned so much if he can do it over the course of a game or a season. It's more like how long is his career going to be if he's playing that many snaps? All you're doing is dumbing your risk of injury. One not. I wish that on him, but I hope he can play injury free season and go ball out. But it's just a reality. The more you're on the field. It's already 100% injury guarantee once you get out there playing both sides. Now you have to tackle. You gotta tackle Derrick Henry with that frame. That's from devonte Adams, wide receiver.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, this is a goofy. This is goofy behavior as a professional athlete, bro. Football is like the most dangerous sport. You can play that in hockey. Shit, you get hit damn near every play to put yourself out there the whole game to get hit every fucking day now. Nah, man. By these elite players and they are huge, bro. Bro, if you playing receiver, you don't get hit every time just running around, bro. You can. I don't got to tackle Derek Henry all the time, bro. Why don't you my db, bro. I'm not. I don't have to tackle me. Where's my linebackers at? But what if you do have to? I mean, I might, but this is not. What I don't like about this is that they bang somebody. This is every time out. Like this nigga's not a running back, bro. He's not a quarterback, bro. He's a wide receiver. Yeah, but you still block as a wide receiver. They duh. You get hit if you catch the ball. So you gonna get hit. If you hit me. If you hit me. Yeah, bro, I'mma. He did it. He did it already. Yeah, but you gotta think. And he didn't even play no elite teams in college, bro. It's still touching your body, bro. Yeah, I'm not saying. That's what I'm saying. Now everybody is elite. Elite. Everybody on here is elite. Like he won against couple sad people, bro. A bunch of sad, bro.

[DJ]

Yeah, division was down.

[Ryan Seacrest]

They had no business playing against him, bro. Come on in the NFL, bro. Everybody playing Jackson State. He started off at Jackson State. Come on, the worst competition. Give me Pike. Listen, have some good to say coach. Well, I'm not even trying to understand. For two years he really, he was the number one player in the country.

Have you ever looked at a piece of abstract art or music or poetry and thought that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense? Well, that's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II when they pulled off what was either a bold literary hoax or a grand poetic experiment, publishing over a dozen intentionally bad but highly acclaimed works of expressionist poetry under the name Erne Mallory. In an incident that caused a media firestorm and even a criminal trial, the Ern Malley episode made fools of believers and critics alike and still fascinates poetry lovers to this day. We break down the truth, the lies and the poetry in between on Hoax, a new podcast hosted by me, Lizzie.

Logan and me, Dana Schwartz. Every episode, Hoax explores an audacious fraud or ruse from history, from forged artwork works to the original fake news. To try and answer why we believe.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah, bro. Because I'm like that. He is like, yeah, but your competition wasn't like that. I'm about to be like that in the NFL. You can't. I'm not saying other people. That was number one in the country. Yeah, he the best receiver down there in the NFL for like, seven years straight. And he had to take. He ain't the best, but he was one of the top receivers of all time. And he literally telling you, hey, bro, chill out. It ain't it. Yeah, I don't see you doing it, bro.

[DJ]

Do it just how you did it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Have fun. Jordan said a lot of crazy, bro. Jordan said the ceiling is the roof. He still questioning why he said that. But I'm saying, though, it's Jordan saying it like.

[DJ]

Like it was also the crime.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And we. And we not give him a chance. We not saying. I'm not saying he can't do it.

[DJ]

But he just said, hey, bro, just don't do it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Say he couldn't do it. He just said, after a while, it's gonna wear and tear on you. Yeah, bro. All right, bro, this is my problem. Shout out to Dante. I with you, bro. But I feel like he's already heard that a thousand times, bro. So listen, trying to help you, bro. Bro. Charles Wilson was a beast, bro. He's probably just saying, y', all, can I try it?

[DJ]

Yeah, go try it.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Say, I'mma do this. Just let me with it. But I hope. I mean, he probably gonna get some reps on both sides of the ball, but playing the whole game, it's just not possible. But even the NFL team, eventually, I'm like, we don't want him to keep doing that. Is absolutely right. Cuz n he plays one of the best to ever do it. Like, I get it, bro. You get hurt. That's the main thing. You. You the prize pick of this team. Don't put yourself in danger. But damn, y'. All, I'm not the running back, and I'm not the linebacker. You not. But it's still football. And you ain't went against nobody with these routes, though. And you ain't want to miss the best corners in the NFL like these. The best corners gonna hit him, bro. He not just about. Yeah. I don't think Travis Hunter gonna get out there and lock some of these top up. I'm not saying he might be tired from trying to go against the top on offense. He. He starting at quarter wide receiver, right? Yeah. So you gotta think people, bro. You know how it is when you come in. Well, y. When you come to the league, bro, people try to prove points like, you think you that good? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't think Jalen Ramsey lining up like, yeah, this got me up. He think he about to. He about to go against me and then go catch a pass. He's successful at that. Because if I get off your ass, I'm trying to around and guard the next. Yeah, everybody. Everybody better bring their best against me. They are better embarrass me. They are me second guess this. They all have. But telling me I'm not about to do it out the game. It's quiet, bro. Nothing. I might tell y'. All. Y' all can't do nothing. Nothing. Not rolling. Y' all gonna try it. You are gonna try it. But I'm just telling him, like, that's a lot of pressure on somebody not saying he can't do it. It's just a lot of pressure. Like, people gun at you. Like people go after you. Give me a 12. You seem to feel disrespected, bro. Yeah, bro. You think you about to line up against me, and then you about to go catch some fast. You think you that. Yeah. Around be better than you at your position. I'mma show you slaying. Them boys not going. They about to. He ain't gonna be better every. Everybody. I didn't say he's gonna be better than everybody, but he's gonna be better than a lot of probably, bro.

[DJ]

What it'd be interesting to see is if at any moment. You know what I'm saying? If he not saying Gets hurt. It's slow to get up. If a team be like, all right, now he ain't playing defense rest of the game.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Well, all right. They ain't gonna play with. They gonna force him to sit he.

[DJ]

Gonna do this out of his head.

[Ryan Seacrest]

He gonna do that for six games in squad. Yeah, they gonna be like a lot. Them numbers better be mid. His numbers better be mid. Cuz if his numbers is fire, roll me out the whole season, bro. Man gonna do that, bro. He gonna. With a pick. You gota.

[DJ]

You gota think.

[Ryan Seacrest]

You gotta think. In Colorado, they let him do it. Not saying that. Coach fr. But they. So he said he set out days after he. After the games. Like, he didn't do this the whole week, bro. He ain't do nothing. You not doing that in the NFL. He ain't do nothing, bro. He ain't do nothing the whole week. He said he's so tired, man. We just gotta let him chill all week. He just play the game, recover. He probably watch. Fuck know. And then he played the game that.
