Jay Skeets
On today's Drop podcast. It is Friday. We're doing the Drop here. We're gonna run through some top notch worst of the week nominees. Really good batch from TAS here this week. We're gonna highlight a few of last night's best performances. And we got some rapid fire near the end of the pod. But yes, first shout out to everybody that joined us for yesterday's epic trade deadline live stream. We went five hours plus reacting to either trades that had just happened the night before or trades that were happening during the day. We had a lot to talk about. We had pizza, we talked with the chat all day long. And near the end, I paid off January's pick' em loss by getting into the pig costume and getting a little loopy. And that seemed to be a highlight for some, that final hour and a half or so with me and the pig costume.
- [04:26]
Tass Mellow
Was it a highlight for you? Yeah, I thought it was super fun for him over here.
- [04:29]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, great to watch. I enjoyed it. Again, I was going a little crazy by that point. We did a lot of talking this week with a lot of emergency podcasts and then the five hour live stream. But yeah, JD Cut together a very funny short of the me and the pig costume, cutting WWE style promos and doing 360 jump farts and touching my belly with it. Yeah, bunch of fun. So go check that out. It's on our YouTube page.
- [04:57]
Trey Kirby
Show your kids, they'll love it.
- [04:58]
Jay Skeets
Guaranteed. All right, the 2026 NBA trade deadline has come and gone. And while Giannis remains in Milwaukee, there were plenty of other big names on the move. In fact, five recent all Stars got moved. Two of them, Trae Young and Anthony Davis, now play for the 14 and 36 Wizards. A third, Jaron Jackson Jr. Now plays for the 16 and 36 Utah Jazz. And the final two. James Harden and Darius Garland. They got traded for one another. But I wanted to ask you guys, can you name the five other once upon a time All Stars that were dealt this week just had to have been an All Star once in their career. I named the big recent ones. Okay, sorry.
- [05:42]
Trey Kirby
Nicola Vuchovic, Mike Conley.
- [05:45]
Jay Skeets
Mike Conley is another. There are four left. Sorry. There were six total. Okay, okay. Vuch, Mike Conley Jr. Mike Conley Jr.
- [05:54]
Trey Kirby
Other guys who were traded, they were All Stars. Let me look at my team so I can remember.
- [06:01]
Tass Mellow
No, it don't have that one said Garland.
- [06:04]
Trey Kirby
Luke Canard, never an All Star yet.
- [06:06]
Jay Skeets
Yet.
- [06:08]
Trey Kirby
Poor Zingus.
- [06:08]
Jay Skeets
There you go. Thought you'd get that one. Yeah. Now they get a little more difficult. They. One guy though, made a million All Star teams. But you sort of. Chris Paul was traded yesterday.
- [06:22]
JD
Sneaky.
- [06:23]
Jay Skeets
And then one guy was a multiple time All Star. Like he, he made a couple, two or three, but he's near the end of his career. So he was like basically a throw.
- [06:32]
Trey Kirby
Into a Chris Middleton.
- [06:33]
Jay Skeets
There you go.
- [06:35]
Trey Kirby
Yep.
- [06:35]
Jay Skeets
And we've got one more. And he made one All Star game in the Eastern Conference. And he came back to the East. He said, I'm coming back.
- [06:44]
Trey Kirby
So. Not Harden. He made a lot. They did come to the East. Came back to the East.
- [06:48]
Jay Skeets
Who else? Yeah, he. He made an All Star team when he played on a pretty crappy franchise though. They had a pretty good year the year he made it. And then he made his way west and he bounced around a lot. Always tied to the hip with one other guy though, and he's come back to a pretty crappy team. All right, I'll give you three seconds.
- [07:06]
Trey Kirby
Who was he going to?
- [07:08]
Jay Skeets
The Wizards. He did go to the Wizards.
- [07:10]
Tass Mellow
He did go to the Wizards.
- [07:10]
Trey Kirby
He goes to the Wizards.
- [07:12]
Jay Skeets
He was tied with someone that also went to the Wizards.
- [07:14]
Trey Kirby
Yeah, Anthony Davis. Who else did they trade in this diggity deal?
- [07:17]
Jay Skeets
Say it.
- [07:18]
Tass Mellow
From Dallas.
- [07:19]
Jay Skeets
Correct.
- [07:20]
Stigots
Correct.
- [07:20]
Jay Skeets
Say it.
- [07:21]
Trey Kirby
I don't remember the other pieces.
- [07:23]
Jay Skeets
Say his name. Say his name. D' Angelo. Russell. Come on.
- [07:28]
Tass Mellow
Oh, gosh. Was not registering.
- [07:30]
Jay Skeets
He was an All Star.
- [07:31]
Stigots
You're right.
- [07:32]
Jay Skeets
I guess that's 11 total all stars when you add them all up. We're on the move at some point here. Last little week. Yeah, it's a lot. Let's show you the notable trade deadline moves by way of the Athletic putting together this slick little graphic name of all the guys and the new team they're going to. I'm not going to read them all for the podcast listeners.
- [07:51]
Trey Kirby
Because Ochai and Baji made it, huh?
- [07:53]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, why not?
- [07:55]
Trey Kirby
I guess they got the Nets did do moves.
- [07:57]
Jay Skeets
They did.
- [07:57]
Trey Kirby
They did.
- [07:58]
Jay Skeets
But let's do our annual NBA trade deadline winners and losers. Now that this has all happened, we've had some time to think about it. We'll do some winners, we'll eventually do some losers. Play along in the stream team. Hit the like button. Subscribe while you're there. I'll get us started because I want to give a trade deadline winner to the Indiana Pacers and or the LA Clippers. All right, that andor is very important and we will break that down. But the Pacers improved on Miles Turner with arguably a better player and a much better contract in Avita Zubots coming from the Clippers. He's going to protect the rim. The guy does rebound. He doesn't block a lot of shots, but he is a really good defender and he sort of controls the paint in different ways, eats up the space. He's one of the best screen setters I think in the league. That is going to be something special to watch with Tyrese Halliburton when he comes back. And here's the kicker. Like I said, he's one of the best contracts in the league for a guy at his sort of caliber or his caliber. He signed for two more years, 20.3 million and 21.7 million respectively. Pretty good deal. So that's good. That's the Pacers. We'll come back to them. Clippers turned a 36 year old James Harden into a 26 year old Darius Garland and a center in Zubots who maybe is at the peak of his value. They flip that into Benedict Matheran, a young, potentially still promising guard, obviously can score, he can get to the line, Isaiah Jackson and then multiple first round picks. So I think both teams here got what they wanted, right? Indy jumps right back in hopefully into the championship picture next season when Halliburton comes back. And now they got a center and they got a really good team still. And la, they do this sort of like little reset here with the moves they made. They get significantly younger, which is good. And they get some draft picks back in that very bare cupboard of theirs. So I think that's win, win sort of for both of them.
- [09:53]
Tass Mellow
It's a retool.
- [09:55]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, retool.
- [09:56]
Tass Mellow
It's not a break it down, not a break it down yet.
- [09:59]
Jay Skeets
A retool. Okay, sure. But one of them, the Pacers or Clippers, is going to get a whole lot more out of this trade deadline, when we get to May and we find out how those ping pong balls fall. We haven't been this excited about ping pong balls since Marty supreme premiered because.
- [10:18]
Trey Kirby
So true.
- [10:19]
Jay Skeets
This is a very important piece. As part of that Zubots trade, the Clippers will receive Indiana's 2026 first round pick, protected between number one and number four and number 10 and number 30. So let's make that make some sense. If it lands between number five and number nine, it goes to the Clippers, the 26 pick. If not, if the Pacers are still one through four or somehow win a bunch of games and slide out and pass ninth and are 10 plus in the first round, they keep it. Then that gets shipped to Lac in 2031 as an unprotected pick.
- [10:55]
Tass Mellow
Right.
- [10:57]
Jay Skeets
This is big. This is going to be some drama going down when Mark Tatums open up those envelopes.
- [11:01]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, exactly that. This trade totally depends on where the balls fall behind the scenes, because the lottery and all the balls and all the combinations happens literally under wraps. That has to be televised. We need to televise the balls. I want to see all the balls. I want to see all the graphs. Pre ball grabbing, you know, pre ball dropping. I want to see the graphs to see what combinations can work for each and every team. Statistics are gonna love this whole thing. This needs to be televised. And you want a complete transparent league that needs to be on air. Why not? Why not?
- [11:42]
Jay Skeets
So at this moment, let's call it. Indiana has a 52% chance, basically, I'm rounding down a little bit at keeping the pick. And the clippers have a 48% chance at snatching it here in 2026. So, I mean, I'm sorry, forget the Super Bowl. I don't care if it's heads or tails. It don't mean shit. This is the coin toss that we should be carrying about and both these franchises will. So this was fun. But even regardless of how it goes and whether it's going to be a pick going this year to the Clippers or it's a 2031 pick, I get the reasoning from both franchises of what they did here at the deadline. So that's why I have them as a winner. And we talked about it yesterday and had some fun debates about it. So it's good.
- [12:21]
Trey Kirby
But you didn't want to pick an actual winner.
- [12:23]
Jay Skeets
I'm saying both of them. Okay. Okay.
- [12:25]
Stigots
I think you're probably right.
- [12:26]
Trey Kirby
This is an awesome trade. This is like one of my favorite trades that we've had We've had a lot more big names in trades, a lot more pieces going back and forth, but the moving parts of it is so cool. I saw Caitlin Cooper, the great Indiana Pacers writer, talking about how exciting the draft lottery is going to be. Pacers GM Kevin Pritchard responds with popcorn emojis. This guy's like, yeah, let's go. This is my job and I'm excited to see if we actually get to kip keep our pick. I think this is a great get for the Pacers, getting Zubots a good fit for them. I don't think he's a perfect fit for them. They're gonna have to change up the way they play a little bit. But Rick Carlisle is an awesome coach, so he can figure it out. But even if this pick stays with the Pacers, they still gave up two unprotected firsts. For a 29 year old center, it's pretty risky. Regardless, I guess they're thinking if we keep this top four pick, we're getting a stud. So we'll still be good in 29 and 31. But Tyrese Halliburton is coming off an Achilles tear. Everyone's like, oh, he's gonna be back next year. Yeah, he is. Will he be at all the same? No one knows at this point. Siakam will be 32 at the end of this year. My guess is that he's not around by the time those unprotected picks convey. Regardless of what happens with the draft lottery, the Clippers, I think this is a super smart move. This is a sell high for them because how much better is Zubot's gonna get from an asset standpoint? He's on this great contract. He plays regularly. He's, he was like a fringe, all NBA guy, you know, part of that, I think his games played and stuff last year, but he's, he's in the like six through ten range of best centers in the NBA. But they went from a zero percent chance of having a top five pick to a 50 chance at a top five pick. They got younger, they got more flexible, they got some future draft assets. I think I, I would say the Clippers won the trade for me, but I don't think the Pacers did a bad job here and it makes for an awesome draft lottery night.
- [14:20]
Tass Mellow
Absolutely. Again, that part needs to be televised. Not just Mark Tatum with these envelopes, which people are going to be watching, but you want to get into the minutia of things.
- [14:30]
Jay Skeets
I mean, you want like Kornacki at.
- [14:32]
Tass Mellow
The board breaking Down. Not. Not that I need every single stat on every single graph, but people like it.
- [14:39]
Jay Skeets
People.
- [14:39]
Tass Mellow
And it comes down to so many different combinations of the lottery balls. There could be. I think there was seven possibilities for picks last year that end up going a different direction. It's super fun. I do think the Pacers are banking on Tyrese Halliburton coming back healthy. And I know in this day and age, it seems like guys are coming back from Achilles injuries way healthier. They are bouncing back so that one day. Well, other guys. No.
- [15:04]
Jay Skeets
Who?
- [15:04]
Tass Mellow
There's other guys.
- [15:05]
Trey Kirby
Who?
- [15:05]
Tass Mellow
There's other Achilles guys. Name one. Some of them.
- [15:09]
Trey Kirby
It's Kevin Durant.
- [15:10]
Stigots
Oh, yeah.
- [15:11]
Tass Mellow
He came back extremely well. That's it? You're saying that's the only guy who's come back from Achilles? Let me Google the has.
- [15:17]
Jay Skeets
There has to be more Dominique Wilkins.
- [15:20]
Trey Kirby
Yeah.
- [15:20]
Tass Mellow
No.
- [15:21]
Jay Skeets
No way.
- [15:22]
Tass Mellow
Not going back. There's got to be better ones.
- [15:25]
Trey Kirby
Look, the science is better. There's no better time to come back from an Achilles injury, but it's unproven, for sure.
- [15:31]
Tass Mellow
Yeah. The most recent ones aren't good, that's for sure. Like. Like a dame, you know, those. Those.
- [15:36]
Trey Kirby
Yeah, he's not back yet either.
- [15:37]
Tass Mellow
No. No.
- [15:37]
Trey Kirby
Tatum not back yet either.
- [15:38]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [15:39]
Trey Kirby
There's a lot of guys who. They want to come back and be as good as they were. We'll see if it happens. It was. It has happened for Kevin Durant.
- [15:45]
Jay Skeets
Yeah. You might. You might be adding two more to that list, though, if Halliburton and Taylor being a little younger.
- [15:50]
Tass Mellow
They're banking on it. This trade all depends on where those balls fall, because they could literally be in the 20s, you know, way down the road for the Clippers in what they get back for. For the Zube. That's what it all depends on.
- [16:03]
Jay Skeets
Yeah. So, yeah, both these teams I have as a winner here. Let's keep it going. Where are you going?
- [16:08]
Trey Kirby
I will say, though, this trade and a lot of the other trades that went down, a lot of tanking teams.
- [16:14]
Jay Skeets
Oh, my God. Yeah.
- [16:15]
Trey Kirby
A third of the league is going to give up for two months of the season. That's going to be brutal to watch. Sacramento, Indiana, Brooklyn, Washington, Utah, Dallas, Memphis, Milwaukee and Chicago do not want to win.
- [16:26]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [16:26]
Trey Kirby
For the next two months of the season. New Orleans wants to win, but they can't help it.
- [16:31]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, I think that's.
- [16:33]
Trey Kirby
That's a problem.
- [16:33]
Tass Mellow
That is a problem. Yeah. That's the interesting part. Look, Yanis De Gumpo says he's coming back to play if he's playing. They win. The Washington Wizards, they won last night. Some way. Some way. The guys on the floor, they want to win. The Pelicans. Apparently Dejante Murray is coming back. They are. They didn't trade any part of their team. Any part of their team. So they still have. They still are still playing. Good balls. So if you break down each team, it seems that way, but I don't know how many are going to be listed.
- [16:59]
Jay Skeets
A lot.
- [16:59]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [17:00]
Trey Kirby
A ten?
- [17:01]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [17:01]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [17:02]
Jay Skeets
I mean, I'm all. I'm already tired of the inevitable. Oh my God, this league is cooked. Look at all these teams leaning into the tank here for this loaded draft like it's going to be non stop and fair enough. I mean, there's going to be some crazy lineups. There already has been, for crying out loud of them trying to out tank each other with sitting guys down and stuff like that. It's going to be pretty drastic here. Well, I mean, I know we're going to talk about the Bucks here in a second, but the honest of it all, he wants to play. They sure as hell don't want him to play.
- [17:31]
Tass Mellow
That's great.
- [17:32]
Jay Skeets
Breakdown good to come of him playing, really outside of just keeping him happy. That's it. Yes, that is it.
- [17:39]
Tass Mellow
And that is true. Otherwise, truly important.
- [17:40]
Jay Skeets
Could get injured again, I will say.
- [17:43]
Tass Mellow
Like the bottom five. The bottom five currently are between 12 wins and 14 wins right now. Then there's a bit of a drop off to the Jazz and the Mavs, you know, especially, especially I should say maybe you lump in the Jazz. So the top or bottom six, you know, in the reverse standings, it's gonna be a little difficult to catch them. They're all sort of in the same grouping. And when you break down the percentages, if we're gonna get Kornaki right here, for the top three, it's 14. For the fourth, it's 12.5%. For the fifth, it's 10.5%. For the sixth, it's 9%. So it's not drastically different all at all, really. So there's. There's a bit of a gap there. You can't lose that many games if you're in seventh place right now to catch those teams like the Dallas Mavericks have 19 wins. They are have five more already than the. The fifth place team. So there's a gap already.
- [18:33]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, there is. All right, TK who do you have for trade deadline?
- [18:37]
Trey Kirby
Winner. Minnesota Timberwolves are a winner to me because they are, I think, the contender who improved the most getting IO DSUMU We've talked so long this season about how the Timberwolves need to make a move for a guard. They got one of the better guards who was on the market. He gives them basically what Nikhil Alexander Walker did. They decided not to sign him last year. He ended up in Atlanta. But you're getting some three point shooting from IO he is having a hot season. He's like, he's like peaks and valleys, this guy. Up and down. But if you're getting them during a good season, awesome shooting 45%, knocking them down at the top of the key, not just corners as well. He plays great on ball defense. He's like an instant fast break all by himself. He's had 11, 20 plus point games this season. He's a great compliment. I think specifically to Edwards will draw a lot of eyes and IO just catches the ball and gets downhill right away. No messing around. DiVincenzo is the guy who's going to chuck the threes, but IO will get downhill and if he's got an open shot, he's going to take it. I also like the mix with Nas Reed and Bones Highland. Three guys with long hair coming off the bench will look very, very cool. So I think this is a great move for the Timberwolves to beef up for the stretch around here.
- [19:43]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, he's an automatic addition to the rotation. There's no doubt. I think you could see A.O. finish games beside Anthony Edwards and Dante DiVincenzo. Sitting that particular game because I play is incredible defensively at times. You know, he'll get in front, he'll play extremely hard on the defensive end, catch and shoot. He's great getting downhill. He's great. I think you can call him the second best guard on their team at times. So a guy who gets inserted into the lineup. No doubt. I wonder what happens to Bones Highland because of that. Who has been sort of that the number one guard off the bench essentially. You know, coming into the season they were going to replace Nikhil Alexander Walker with the sort of a three headed guy was Rob Dillingham, TJ Shannon and a little Jalen Clark and Dillingham obviously did not work out. They said, okay, got to cut the cord on that. TJ Shannon has not been the player that we expected to be and so that's a great addition. This guy's going to be finishing games in the playoffs. This is important for them.
- [20:41]
Jay Skeets
And he's playing for a contract, meaning he is going to be a free agent after this season with the $7.5 million deal. He's going to an actual winning team. I mean, this guy has been sort of stuck on the mediocrity treadmill there in Chicago for his entire career. So he gets that sort of bump, that energy of playing in, like, big games and into the playoffs and. Yeah, and he does all the sort of. Is obviously good and can score, but he does a lot of the dirty work. Like you guys said, it's a great addition. Yeah. They pulled the plug on Dillingham after drafting him and everybody got so excited and I was like, oh, wow, he's going to be something. They didn't see it.
- [21:15]
Trey Kirby
No.
- [21:15]
Jay Skeets
Not that he was given much of an opportunity, but when he did, he didn't impress them enough. So they're like, all right, we want to win now. We've gone to conference finals. We like our team. We didn't make a Giannis move, obviously, that maybe couldn't get across the finish line. So they pivot to this. Will Mike Conley Jr. Make his way back to this team?
- [21:30]
Trey Kirby
I guess he could.
- [21:31]
Jay Skeets
He technically can because he got traded twice. If he swayed again. So.
- [21:35]
Tass Mellow
Right. Right.
- [21:35]
Jay Skeets
Maybe not.
- [21:36]
Tass Mellow
And they made the smart move of not going to a traditional point guard beside Anthony Edwards. I always advocated for Chris Paul and potentially going there as the sort of the mental, emotional leader, but he needs the ball in his hands. The good thing about IO is he can easily play off ball along with Dante DiVincenzo. You have to play alongside Anthony Edwards like he's Michael Jordan. You don't need a point guard beside him.

Who do you have for a winner? Tass?
- [26:09]
Tass Mellow
The Cavaliers. At least they have some hope going into this postseason getting James Harden. You may say James Harden can't rely on that guy. If you look at the postseason last year and the guy that they traded for James Harden, could you rely on him in the round two against Indiana Pacers? Donovan Mitchell, their leader who's back, obviously averaged 33 points. He was carrying them. He needed somebody in a secondary role. And our man Darius Garland was not that guy. He played only three games because he was banged up. 14 points, 36% shooting from the floor, 16% shooting from three. They lost in five games. I'll say this about Harden in a second round series that they hope to get to. He's going to play basketball. He's going to be out there playing. That's something greater than their secondary option in Darius Garland last year. You know, they hope for more from Mobley, but you know, Mobley didn't come through in that second round either. He was also banged up. But that's a great thing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They have hope going to second round this season. Also they got Dennis Schroeder, who I know that, you know, people say, well, it's 11th team for this guy. He bounces around. Last year in the postseason he was key for the Golden State, excuse me, for the Detroit Pistons. He was their second best guard at times finishing games beside Kate Cunningham as the guard that they needed. He was great. The numbers are great. Twos, threes. He was super efficient and he takes the pressure off. You know, in a some sort of scenario. You need Schroeder in a possession to Bailey out. He can do that. They got Keon Ellis to see if what he can become. I was surprised he wasn't on the athletic graphic there. You can throw on Ochay Abashi, but you can't throw on Keane Ellis. And they said goodbye to DeAndre Hunter. Kobe Altman said as my bad Jalen Tyson has kind of replaced replace that. They said the same thing with Lonzo Ball also my bad moving on. And will it end well with James Harden a few years from now? No. But coming this postseason they have way more aspiration. I think they've got a better feel in the second round against whoever it is. If it's the Knicks or the Celtics, they have a better Feeling you got.
- [28:14]
Jay Skeets
Them winning a first round series just like that.
- [28:16]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, I'm pushing. I'm really pushing. Yeah, I think they could be The Raptors. Yes.
- [28:20]
Trey Kirby
100. Aren't the Raptors like 40 against the Cavs?
- [28:25]
Jay Skeets
Yeah. Scotty Barnes gets all pissed off when he takes on Mobley.
- [28:27]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, yeah, looking forward to that. But yeah, they, they better make the second round. And honestly, who was the second best player in their playoffs last year? I named the guys. Who knows? I mean, it's, I think it was Mobley.
- [28:38]
Trey Kirby
I think he, I mean, he, he was up and down in the playoffs, but he acquitted himself pretty well.
- [28:42]
Tass Mellow
He did. He did. Yeah. And so now he just has to be there. Well, Jimmy is also gonna be. Well, I'm gonna be doing his thing.
- [28:50]
Jay Skeets
Who's Jimmy? James Harden.
- [28:52]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, we're Jimmy.
- [28:53]
Jay Skeets
Don't do that. You can't do that.
- [28:54]
Tass Mellow
Sorry, man, I got some confused.
- [28:57]
Trey Kirby
Jimmy Harden.
- [28:57]
Tass Mellow
We've talked for eight shows. You can' a thousand times.
- [29:03]
Jay Skeets
But I mean, you brought up Mobley and then Jared Allen and this is a big part of it too, the idea that James, call me Jimmy. Harden will be able to help those two guys because that's all he does. He makes bigs on your team look a hell of a lot better because all the attention he draws and how great he is in the pick and roll action. You roll, he's going to find you. He's an elite passer. I mean, he's going to go down as one of the greatest scorers of all time. He's an unbelievable playmaker for a guy his size too.
- [29:29]
Tass Mellow
So.
- [29:30]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, they're. Look, I mean, you said the Wolves being one of the championship contending teams, maybe did the most or got the best at the deadline here. Depends how you feel about the Cavs too. I guess they're in the conversation if you have them in that tier because they made some, some big moves here.
- [29:44]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, I don't think they were in that tier prior to the trade deadline. Right. And that's the good thing. Yeah, they have a little bit of hope. Just like I have hope for televising the lottery. I just thought of me geeking it out and calling him Jimmy Hart and just being a geek. At the very least, they're not going to televise, but at the very least, let's have a NBA league pass stream with. Let's say. Let's say. You know. Exactly.
- [30:07]
Trey Kirby
You're right. Maybe you don't need it on the main broadcast, but for the sickos, tap into league pass we'll show you the back room.
- [30:13]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [30:13]
Jay Skeets
When you're talking about this, I'm actually getting more and more terrified with all of these possibilities of things jumping and changing the odds, flying on, moving around because they can't even get it right. Like last year. Remember. Remember the broadcast last year when they were on unveiling the picks, like, it was all over the map. They're saying, like, oh, that means so and so's got the. Like, it was complete confusion.
- [30:34]
Trey Kirby
True.
- [30:35]
Jay Skeets
So this could be even worse.
- [30:37]
Tass Mellow
Yeah. But, yeah, I remember it was the actual picks breaking down when they pulled them out of the envelopes and the broadcasters were saying, yeah, I mean, you.
- [30:44]
Jay Skeets
Got to react to it on the spot. It's not easy.
- [30:47]
Stigots
Yeah.
- [30:47]
Jay Skeets
Because you're like, who fell? And what does that mean? Do you stay in the top? Like, you're trying to figure all that out.
- [30:51]
Tass Mellow
Jimmy, give me Danny LaRue and Nate Duncan and they will break it down, baby. Just the actual machinations of it all. They can do it. You could have like a week. A week pre show of those guys giving you numbers because it is.
- [31:06]
Jay Skeets
Wow. I want some pre shows.
- [31:09]
Trey Kirby
Cheers and milks back and forth. That is the ultimate sicko stream.
- [31:16]
Tass Mellow
Real psycho stuff. And the numbers. Yeah, the. The combinations of numbers back there. It is. It is sick. What you were just saying.
- [31:26]
Jay Skeets
What's your favorite number? Two is good number. Good number. I can't wait for the inevitable article that says the Clippers were, you know, any of these six other final digits would have got them.
- [31:40]
Tass Mellow
The Pacers.
- [31:42]
Jay Skeets
Wait for it.
- [31:43]
Trey Kirby
I hate that as a Bulls fan who saw the Mavericks get Cooper flagged.
- [31:48]
Tass Mellow
By one combination, right?
- [31:49]
Trey Kirby
Don't tell me it's coming.
- [31:51]
Jay Skeets
It's coming for either Clippers fans or Pacers fans. You know it's coming.
- [31:54]
Trey Kirby
There are so many teams that have stuff riding on the draft lottery. Like the Bucks are going to have stuff riding on the draft lottery. Like, how good is our pick going to be? The Hawks will be tuned in for sure. That's going to be exciting.
- [32:04]
Jay Skeets
Other top eight protected picks. Yeah, there's. There's a lot of crazy. Good luck, Danny and Nate. My God.
- [32:09]
Trey Kirby
Good luck, Danny. Let's do another round with regards to the Cavs. I think Harden is going to be good for literally everybody on their team. Take some of the load off of Donovan Mitchell first and foremost, but a great setup man for Mobley and Allen and guards that, like, catch the ball and can attack a closeout play. Awesome on Harden since he draws so many eyes and he gets off the ball so quickly. Like as soon as you're open, you're getting the ball from James Harden. So good news for Jaylon Tyson as well. But I do think doing this trade, the Cavs are the team that's under the most pressure going into the playoffs. Mitchell make it to a conference final?
- [32:45]
Jay Skeets
Yeah. Yeah.
- [32:46]
Trey Kirby
James Harden, the ultimate question mark in the playoffs. You got to win your series in five games. That way, you know, that way you don't have to worry about 6 and 7. Jared Allen, how bright are the lights?
- [32:56]
Jay Skeets
Yep.
- [32:57]
Trey Kirby
Evan Mobley, like I said, I think he's been pretty solid the past couple of years, but we're wanting to see more from him take the next step. And I think if he had established himself as their second go to guy, they maybe don't even do this move. So a question mark there. All of this with the Donovan Mitchell. Should I stay or should I go?
- [33:12]
Jay Skeets
Right.
- [33:12]
Trey Kirby
Hanging over the top of things. That's a. That's a lot of pressure.
- [33:17]
Jay Skeets
Absolutely. But now they got James Harden. He'll be the escape goat no matter what happens.
- [33:20]
Trey Kirby
That's a great point.
- [33:21]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [33:21]
Trey Kirby
Because now he always thrives under pressure, though, about James Harden. He likes it when things get tough.
- [33:27]
Jay Shetty
Yeah.
- [33:27]
Tass Mellow
It is funny that in the Eastern Conference, you're right. The Cavs under that. That pressure, but because you can win it all. There's more teams that are under pressure, though. I do think not just the Cavs. Like the Knicks.
- [33:40]
Trey Kirby
Sure. Yes.
- [33:41]
Tass Mellow
They're finally with what happened with them as well as the Pistons now the number one seed.
- [33:49]
Trey Kirby
I don't think they're under that much pressure, so.
- [33:50]
Jay Skeets
Pressure to win a series. Absolutely. But I don't think everyone would be like if they don't make it to the conference finals or finals.
- [33:56]
Trey Kirby
Knicks are there. Yeah, Knicks. To me, I mean, the Cavs have had a disappointing season. They won 64 last year. They were 1 and 2 with the Knicks coming into this year. And they're doing these moves to entice Mitchell to stay and all that eyes on them. Boston, it's like gravy right now, playing as well as they are without Tatum.
- [34:15]
Jay Skeets
But the Cavs are only like two and a half games back of the second seed. Like, so they're not even like way back. Like, they could like easily be the second seed. I mean, still disappointing year up to this point. Yeah. Because we thought they would maybe run away with the number one seed or at least be battling the Knicks or whatever, but they could still get there.
- [34:33]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [34:33]
Jay Skeets
At least have home court advantage. Besides, everyone except the Pistons. And who knows, maybe the Pistons. They don't even run into them in that scenario.
- [34:39]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, besides the Knicks and here the Cavs. I guess pressure is the wrong word for the rest of them. There's just this additional hope because it's the Eastern Conference and maybe we can do it this year. Maybe there's an outside chance for all these teams just because of. It's just sort of like mediocrity. There's no one that really stands out. No team that stands out in particular because the Boston Celtics literally could think Vuch could be going to the NBA Finals. They can think that. They can definitely think that Vuch holding.
- [35:10]
Trey Kirby
The Lariat Bird Trophy, winning the Eastern Conference Finals mvp.
- [35:14]
Jay Skeets
Let's wait and see. Let's do another round of winners. Where you want to go?
- [35:17]
Trey Kirby
Oklahoma City Thunder are a big time winner for me. First and foremost they got better. They basically swapped out Usman Jang, who was a bit piece for them, would play a little bit when guys were hurt or they just decided to see what their 10 through 12 guys had. Yeah, they swapped him out for Jared McCain who I think we're all anticipating him rediscovering himself after battling back from injury. We've talked a lot about how he has shot better percentages in 2026. A lot of hope being put on those 23 games at the beginning of last season before anybody had ever scouted this guy. So we'll see what he's actually capable of. But at the very least, I think he's going to do more for the Thunder than Usman Jang is. He's also an important player for them as a potential like Lou Dort or Aaron Wiggins replacement. Because as these extensions start kicking in for sga, J Dub and Chet, the Thunder are basically going to have to cycle through young guys if they want to keep their big three together. So getting a young rotation guy only in his second year could be big. Also, nobody made a big swing. No, really. Denver ducked the tax, the Lakers added Luke Kennard, San Antonio and Houston did literally nothing. I do love I.O. for Minnesota, but that's a tinker move more than anything. Giannis stayed in the Eastern Conference. That's good for the Thunder. And then of course, their draft chances improved. The Clippers traded two of their three best players and are now in a very weird position where they want their pick to jump into the top four so that the Pacers pick falls out of the top four. That's awesome for okc. They're like great, we're Getting a top four pick now, that would be huge. The Jazz added to their team, they currently only have a 4% chance that their pick, which is top eight protected, goes to Oklahoma City. But if they actually play Jaren Jackson Jr. I mean, I think Vince Williams is actually a nice little get for them as well. He's a solid player. They got some decent role guys. If they play him and win enough to get up to seventh in lottery odds, it's a 14% chance that the Thunder get that pick. If they Jazz win enough to get to eighth in lottery odds, it's a 42% chance that the Thunder get that pick.
- [37:23]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [37:24]
Trey Kirby
How did they do this? They got a good player, nobody else beefed up, and they're going to be adding potentially two top 10 picks. That's ridiculous.
- [37:33]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [37:33]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [37:34]
Jay Skeets
Well, to answer, how did they do this? How did they get away with this? Well, a big part of it is they had so much draft capital that they were the only team, correct me if I'm wrong, the only good team, team with championship aspirations to trade a first round pick here at the deadline.
- [37:48]
Trey Kirby
Yes.
- [37:49]
Jay Skeets
Because they got a lot of them and so they're like, all right, we can trade one for Jared McCain. No, that's the Rockets pick. That'll be near the end of the first round. Who cares? We can do that. So, yeah, I'm with you. I had them as a winner, too. I think most people do because they got Jared McCain and all the, all the other things that didn't happen in the Western Conference.
- [38:04]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, it's a real tough moment for the Houston Rockets because they didn't do anything and that was their pick that they okc was able to deal. But I am worried about the Houston Rockets not getting a guard to try and get them up there because Fred and his eight torn ACL is probably what they're looking at. Maybe they're still. They're smarter than us and they know that he's coming back, but that's the longest time he's ever been out. And when he came back last year after being out a month plus, it took him a while. So we're here two months away from the beginning of the playoffs. He's got to come back at some point. And that's the concerning part. But okc, man. Yeah, it's. I do think as far as things that they should be concerned about, it's. Jalen Williams is not looking like himself. He's still injured. That's worrisome. He's literally their second best scorer. No disrespect to Chet, but as far as ball handler goes, there's no question he is their second best scorer. So I do like this just as a sneaky move for when Jalen ain't right or like with the guys you mentioned, when they're not right, when Wiggins isn't right or an AJ Mitchell's is not right. They need this. They need somebody to score. He's, he's good at things and he's coming back. At least he's healthy on like Jalen Williams and TikTok.
- [39:15]
Jay Skeets
Jared McCain fits right into that Thunder roster too. And their social media hijinks. Very true. Good fit. Good fit, you think in the locker room on social media. Let's keep it going. Let's do one more round from you for a winner.
- [39:29]
Tass Mellow
Well, the Milwaukee Bucks, they got the best player available.
- [39:34]
Trey Kirby
Great way to put it.
- [39:36]
Tass Mellow
Gumbo was playing from the Lock Bucks. They had a lot of social media fun. I don't know if they went to TikTok, but Doc Rivers was calling out Sham Sharanya and for all the rumors coming out of that camp for a couple months saying that Giannis De Campo, who is coaching the celebrity game, is planning on trading Sham Sharanya. Giannis went on to ig. I think he also went on to X with the Wolf of Wall Street. Standard stuff. Yeah, doing his thing.
- [40:06]
Jay Skeets
I'm not going anywhere. Except he does go. He actually does leave job in the movie. I don't know if Giannis knows that.
- [40:12]
Tass Mellow
But later. Later.
- [40:14]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, later. Just like this.
- [40:15]
Tass Mellow
Just like this situation. And that brings us to the summer. What is going to happen in the summer? Okay, let me, let me take a step back. What's going to happen here this second half is Yanni's going to play. He said he's going to play. He said he's going to be healthy and he's going to play. That is the fascinating part. They have the 8th worst record right now and they retain that pick most likely depending on the lottery balls and how everything happens with the New Orleans Pelicans because the Atlanta Hawks Dec, I want the Pelicans pick or I want the Bucks pick. And it's likely they'll just take the Pelicans pick. So the Bucks keep their pick. In this scenario, it's 8 now after the draft you can easily trade that pick to try and get a good player in return. And after the draft they have their 2031 and 2033 available to also trade to entice Giannis to stay. It ain't Dead. There's a chance that he does stay if they package something together. But does he play? Does he bring that draft pick down to the teens? Because I can. Looking at all the stats, looking at all or not all the stats, all the records, I should say in the Eastern Conference, he could easily jump his team into the play in. You know, it'll take a little bit of work, but he could get there and it'll be in the teens. Kevin Porter Jr. Is back healthy as well. That's key for them because they need absolutely everybody they got. So this second half is very, very interesting for the Milwaukee Bucks. And then the off season also will be very interesting.
- [41:41]
Trey Kirby
Yeah, I wonder. I wonder if they even want to get a top three pick. Like, you know, they. The Pelicans get number one, goes to the Hawks, and the Bucks get number three, stays with Milwaukee. If they get the number three pick. Are you trading that for a star or are you like, we're getting a potential star? Giannis is 31. They haven't won even a first round series in almost half a decade. So that's. I think they would rather be like the number five pick. You can justify trading that one a lot more than the next franchise cornerstone. So they're in a weird position. They are, but they got Giannis right now.
- [42:18]
Jay Skeets
They do, yeah.
- [42:19]
Tass Mellow
And we still don't know his diagnosis for his calf. We didn't hear a thing about his soleus. The only. The only one who said anything about it was Giannis post game saying, it's my calf, it's my soleus. It's going to take me to four to six weeks out. I know through my NBA experience, he's the only one. He's the only doctor who said anything. The doc Rivers didn't say anything. The actual doctor said nothing. But he said, I'm going to return and play when I can play. The fact is, I guess he was limping through his calf, so it's. He knows best. Like, he was trying to play through it. It's not like he's going to be injured for a long time, but he basically thinks that he sustained the same injury that he sustained earlier this season, which is four to six, six weeks. The guy says he's come back to play and.
- [43:02]
Jay Skeets
But they should not let him.
- [43:03]
Tass Mellow
They shouldn't. But you can't say no to this guy. You can't say no to him. So you just. To have their pick be worse is what you're saying.
- [43:10]
Jay Skeets
Yes, again. And he could re. Injure himself. I mean, that's very possible, especially if he's pushing it. Like, he was already. He even admitted, in other words, like, yeah, you were pushing away. His wife is texting him and the coaching staff and everybody like, what are you doing, man? Like, especially before the deadline. But, yeah, he says he wants to play and, you know, he's going to attract people. What did. That was a part of that caption, right? That legend. Legends don't leave or whatever.
- [43:35]
Tass Mellow
Yes, they attract.
- [43:36]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [43:38]
Tass Mellow
Yeah. Right now they're eight. They could drop to six if they go really, really bad. That's. That's probably the worst. That they would drop, too. And then the lottery balls.
- [43:47]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [43:47]
Tass Mellow
You know, could bouncy up, obviously, but I don't know. Wouldn't be surprised if they're in the teens.
- [43:51]
Jay Skeets
Look, you're insane. Your insane prediction that but Giannis will still stay with Milwaukee could come true. And now you're not alone because Nate Jones is saying it as well. I thought you hacked his Twitter account last night. He's basically said, tweet, I'll read Nate Jones tweet. Not what transaction hungry people want to hear. But the Bucks will land a top five pick in this year's draft and then use their additional future pick flexibility to get more talent around Giannis and that top five pick. So you're not alone.
- [44:18]
Tass Mellow
Yeah. And yeah, we've said it for a couple months here. I was crazy just to say simply that he's going to stay through this season. For many calling it crazy. We got there. We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens in the summer.
- [44:32]
Jay Skeets
Because for the second one consecutive off season. Yeah, we got the spotlight here on the future of Giannis. Here we go again, as he enters the last year of his contract because he's got the player option in 27, 28, he's eligible to sign the massive four year, $275 million extension starting October 1st. So that's huge, too. If he balks at signing that deal, then it's like you're basically forcing the Bucks to trade him at that point. But who knows what this guy, man, sort of opinion and how he tackles this changes sort of day to day and who he's talking to.

Trey Kirby
In my opinion, it's the eggs, man. Sometimes you like them scrambled, sometimes you like them sunny side up.
- [45:13]
Jay Skeets
I know.
- [45:14]
Trey Kirby
How'd you have your eggs this morning?
- [45:15]
Jay Skeets
How do you guess?
- [45:16]
Trey Kirby
Scrambled? No.
- [45:17]
Jay Skeets
Oh, sunny side up.
- [45:19]
Trey Kirby
I thought maybe you would change it since you. Honestly.
- [45:20]
Jay Skeets
I actually had one sunny side up egg today because the second egg I cracked. I don't even know how to describe it. It was off an off egg. It was something like. It was super bulbous and, like, looked a different color. Nora said, there's blood in it.
- [45:35]
Tass Mellow
Oh.
- [45:37]
Jay Skeets
She's like, don't eat that. She wanted me to throw out both of the eggs because they were touching. I'm like, no, no, I'm not throwing out both. I hate throwing out eggs.
- [45:43]
Tass Mellow
Nah. You know, they were touching in the pan. They were touching.
- [45:48]
Jay Skeets
When we can't even get paid, I ain't throwing out eggs, girl.
- [45:51]
Trey Kirby
Hey, there's a place, there's a car place down the street that offers a free egg with 200 purchase.
- [45:56]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, I drive by it every time. I laugh every time.
- [45:59]
Tass Mellow
That's a good one.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the On Purpose podcast. On a recent episode, I sat down with Nick Jonas, singer, songwriter, actor, and global superstar.
- [49:10]
Nick Jonas
The thing I would say to my younger self is, congratulations, you get to marry Priyanka Chopra Jonas. And also, you know, your daughter is incredible.
- [49:19]
Jay Shetty
That's beautiful, man. Yeah, thank you. That's so beautiful. I can see that got you a little.
- [49:25]
Nick Jonas
Yeah, for sure. Our daughter, she came to the world under sort of very intense circumstances, which I've not really talked about ever.

Jay Shetty
Growing up on Disney in front of millions, how did that shape your sense of self?

Nick Jonas
I went blank. I hit a bad note. Then I couldn't can recover. And I built up this idea that music and being musician was my whole identity. I had to sort of relearn who I was. If you took this thing away, who.

Jay Skeets
So back to me for the final winner here of the trade deadline. I do have a couple. I'll slip them in quickly here. I love what the Hornets did at the deadline. They moved Colin Sexton to Chicago for Kobe White, they took a cheap flyer on Malachi Branham, and they picked up some cash when they took on Xavier Tillman senior from the Celtics, who were ducking under the luxury tax. But most notably, they didn't trade any of their core guys. And if you believe their gm, Jeff Peterson, he said he was getting calls left and right. Everybody said, hey, can we get that piece of your core? Can we get that piece of your core? Can we get that piece of your car? And he decided here, with the way they're playing, the way they're clicking, finally winning games here under Charles Lee, that no, they're just going to see this out here right now. So they're just stringing together solid move after solid move. The Hornets are. This is some good work here by the Hornets front office. And it's like, it's nice to see it translating on the floor as well.
- [50:56]
Trey Kirby
So I got the Bulls into the plan yesterday.
- [50:58]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, that's right. They got another quality win. I also have the Knicks as a small winner from yesterday because they got Jose Alvarado for not a lot. Right. And this was sort of crucial after we learned Deuce McBride's gonna be out for at least till the playoffs. It sounds like he's got a core muscle surgery coming up, so he's gonna be out for a little bit of time. So you get another guard there. Alvarado, we talked about it on the live stream, like gonna be an instant fan favorite the minute he makes his first dive to the floor or the obviously sneak behind steel, the place Madison Square Garden is going to erupt. He's a local boy. He's also good, man. Like obviously a bunch of deflections for a guy his size. And he fights through screen. He's scrappy and so that's nice. That's just good work. They, they basically got off of Gershon Yabaselli, that didn't work. So they cut bait there.
- [51:47]
Tass Mellow
He's kicking ass last night though.
- [51:49]
Trey Kirby
He was hooping.
- [51:49]
Jay Skeets
He was hooping last night. But I'll add, you know, Giannis still in Milwaukee, he didn't go to the Miami Heat, he didn't go to the Cavs. You know, he didn't go to the Raptors, who were rumored once upon a time. So that's good for the Knicks too. That's still a possibility that maybe Giannis wants to just go play in Madison Square Garden. So we will see come summertime. And then another good team, the Pistons, didn't do any sort of like crazy big move, got Kevin Herder. So I just think the Knicks has a minor winner, but my real winner is Vuchevic. The Vuch is loose. The Vuch is loose, man. This guy, 15 year vet, he's never had any sort of playoff run. His postseason resume, we went over it. It's three, five game losses in the first round. We have one other game he played with the Sixers. Why back in the day. But he now gets a chance to play on a good team here and maybe advance after he was traded from Chicago to Boston. And yeah, he's a defensive liability. He has been, at least when he was on Chicago. He gives up a lot of baskets at the rim, opponents shoot. What'd you say? 68% at the rim this season against him. But big upgrade on the offensive end for the Celtics. Even if he doesn't start, this guy can come in there, he can hit threes. He's had 39% of his threes over the past two seasons on decent volume for a center. And that works in the Celtics system. I mean, worked when Horford and Porzingis were bombing threes. Again, they're giving you defense, which is nice. He's not doing that. But just this guy's a winner. He gets to sort of leave the Bulls.
- [53:22]
Trey Kirby
Did you just say Nikola Vucevic is a winner? Oh, a trade deadline winner. Okay.
- [53:26]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [53:28]
Trey Kirby
Because he has been one of the top three players on every team he's played for, which, like you said, never even makes the playoffs or wins a game.
- [53:36]
Jay Skeets
So I don't know for him is he's not a top three player in Celtics.
- [53:40]
Trey Kirby
Probably not a top five player.
- [53:41]
Jay Skeets
Exactly. So that's good. Good for him.
- [53:43]
Trey Kirby
Maybe number seven that he gets to.
- [53:45]
Jay Skeets
Actually win a postseason. Potentially. It's not. Not a given. Obviously, the Celtics just roll through to the second round. Some good opponents, but he has a chance here. He's got a chance. This guy's had no success. Team success. So, yeah, I got him as a winner.
- [54:01]
Tass Mellow
He's got to be happy playing on the second.
- [54:05]
Jay Skeets
The Bulls won a game this year. He was doing a post game press conference, and he had the guys behind him goofing around, joking around. He's like, cut this out, man. We're not that good.
- [54:14]
Trey Kirby
Yeah.
- [54:15]
Jay Skeets
So he was. He was upset in wins this year and frustrated, I guess, is a better way. So he gets a, you know, here at the end of his seat, at the end of his career, basically, as he gets into the twilight of his career, gets maybe a chance.
- [54:26]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, we'll see how hard being in Boston makes him play. Just in that Boston environment. If there's any more left coming off the second unit makes sense for sure, because you're playing against, you know, worse competition who ain't gonna slash you and cut you up in the lane and just get to the hoop as easily. But that's gonna happen, too. Either way, he's gonna bomb away for this team.
- [54:48]
Trey Kirby
I'll add a game winner.
- [54:50]
Jay Skeets
Yeah. Okay. You got two in the postseason.
- [54:53]
Trey Kirby
No. Oh, no, no.
- [54:55]
Jay Skeets
Because you already said Tatum's gonna return and hit one.
- [54:57]
Trey Kirby
I wonder if Vuch will be playing important minutes in the postseason for the Boston Celtics. I think crunch time. I'm rolling with a better defender.
- [55:06]
Jay Skeets
Maybe they'll be subbing them for offense, defense. Maybe Missoul would do that. All right, let's do trade deadline, losers.
- [55:13]
Trey Kirby
TK Got the Warriors. They wanted Giannis. They got Porzingis. Simple as that. It's like going shopping for a 2020 Range Rover. 70,000 miles. You come home with a stupid 2012 Highlander Hybrid that breaks down 130, 000 miles.
- [55:27]
Tass Mellow
You thought.
- [55:27]
Jay Skeets
Speaking from experience, you thought it was.
- [55:29]
Trey Kirby
Going to last 200,000 miles, didn't you? You thought maybe even 300. That was what your last Highlander did. But no, you got Chris Das porzingis. He's played 17 games this season, five since November 25th. And I just can't believe they're still not trading the future away for Steph Curry. Okay, you don't want to. They couldn't get Giannis. They think they're probably still in the mix for the summer. But there was rumblings that Giannis wouldn't even want to be a Golden State Warrior if it came to it. Cause he didn't want to pull a Kevin Durant and join up with Steph Curry, go to another person's team where he's going to still be behind Steph. They could have pivoted to Michael Porter Jr. Pretty easily if they're in Jackson Jr. Maybe they could have pivoted to Jaren Jackson Jr. If they were willing to give up the picks just like the Jazz were. But I think that's disappointing to get a guy in Porzingis who you're like, will he play?
- [56:14]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [56:15]
Trey Kirby
Will he be on. Will he be on a team next season? Like, will Porzingis stick around in the NBA past this year? Who knows?
- [56:23]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, who knows?
- [56:23]
Trey Kirby
I mean, he's got, like, serious medical conditions that keep him off the court. So I think it's just disappointing for warriors fans to think they still have a chance here with Curry playing at the level he is. Once Jimmy Butler went down, it seemed like, yeah, we're going to try and make some moves. But instead, they just packed it in and they're like, okay, we'll try our hand at the Play in tournament. Once again, totally mismanaged the Jonathan Kaminga situation. Turn it into a guy who's an even bigger question mark than Kaminga. So I think. Very disappointing deadline for Golden State.
- [56:52]
Tass Mellow
Yeah. What was Ramona Shelburne's report that they had, oh, I guess it was Jaren Jackson Jr. That, that the warriors were calling about Jaren Jackson Jr. And then they heard, oh, there's an option for us to get Giannis, maybe. So then they pivoted, and then Giannis was gone and so was Jaren Jackson Jr. So they had no situation. But Kristaps Porzingis just makes an old team even older. That's the scary part for this warriors team, even though they fight through and they get some dubs yesterday, and their old man Horford was doing his thing last night.
- [57:25]
Jay Skeets
Last night. What a great comeback.
- [57:27]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, that was a great.
- [57:29]
Jay Skeets
Especially after Dylan Brooks was talking all this to Steph on the sidelines. Steph wasn't even playing. But they come back late. Yeah, 16 two run late.
- [57:36]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, but there's nothing to be positive about here. Old team just got older. Guy who played it fewer. Half the games this season proceeded by half the games. Last year proceeded by about a third of the playoff games the year before that with the Celtics. So how can you be super excited?
- [57:49]
Jay Skeets
Here's the only way it can get worse, too. Kaminga balls out for the Hawks. Just, like, goes on a tear. That's gonna look real rough if it happens.
- [57:57]
Trey Kirby
Yeah. I heard Zach Lowe talking with Kurt Goldsberry, and he says he thinks the Hawks want to flip Kaminga, so they'll probably give him a big opportunity during the second half of the season here. And imagine they're able to trade him for, like, anything.
- [58:09]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [58:09]
Trey Kirby
During the summer. That would make this look even worse, I think.
- [58:12]
Jay Skeets
Okay, Warriors a loser at the trade deadline. Where you want to go?
- [58:16]
Tass Mellow
The Sacramento Kings. They had everybody available. Come take our core with a decent offer, but nah, no one made a deal for all these players. Sabonis, Levine or DeRozan. That's their top three paid players. And they're signed through next season as well. It's just a bleak situation this season. What happens when they get to next season? It's also going to be bleak. And they got DeAndre Hunter, who's also signed through next season. He's already starting.
- [58:43]
Jay Skeets
More money.
- [58:43]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [58:44]
Jay Skeets
Dead last.
- [58:45]
Tass Mellow
Dead last.
- [58:46]
Jay Skeets
That's weird.
- [58:47]
Tass Mellow
And for him to play a prominent role on this team. He's already starting. How's that going to work? They're the worst record in the NBA. They traded away Dennis Schroeder, Keon Ellis and Dario Sarge just to get rid of his money. They got DeAndre Hunter. This trade deadline, that's not good. And I feel bad for Malik Monk, you know, he's been there forever. He's also signed through next season. No one could find him. No one could get him on their bench, you know, in, in that sort of role that like the Hornets were able to go get Kobe, that kind of thing. Nobody wanted Malik Monk. He could have been had maybe. All right, I guess not. But that's their team. Bleak Monk signed through next year. DeAndre Hunter signed through next year. Sabonis, Levine, DeRozan all signed through next year. So they'll be making calls. There'll be talks in the summer, but doesn't look like they're going anywhere.
- [59:36]
Jay Skeets
Very depressing.
- [59:37]
Trey Kirby
I think DeRozan is non guaranteed for next year so they'll probably cut him and he could end up on another team. They do have one big game that matters, the draft lottery. That's a huge game for them. They need a win. They've lost what, 10 straight.
- [59:51]
Jay Skeets
I think 12 and 40 and they have an insane payroll and like obviously guys that were names but doesn't click and that's going to be a rough final 30 games. If you've got Sacramento Kings tickets, you probably can't give those away right now. Yeah, I know. You got a nice arena. That's good at least.
- [60:09]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, that's true.
- [60:11]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, but man. Okay, well I'll keep, I'll keep the bad vibes going here. My trade deadline loser. I'm going to give it to the Miami Heat. They say guys, in fact they wrote it on the court once that the Miami Heat are the hardest working, best conditioned, most professional, unselfish, toughest, meanest, nastiest team in the NBA. They need to add laziest to that. The Heater are the only team in the east to not make a move at the NBA trade deadline. Did nothing. Two teams in the west actually good teams.
- [60:46]
Tass Mellow
Yep.
- [60:46]
Jay Skeets
Spurs and Rockets. So maybe it makes a little bit more sense. The Heat are not good. The Heat, for whatever reason, the Bulls get all the crap about playing in the play in year after year. I mean that's the Miami Heat. They're probably going to go to their fourth straight play in tournament here probably. And they're always coming up as continually missing out on potential stars that are maybe have their eyes on South Beach. I mean Damian Lillard of course comes to mind. Kevin Durant, Jan is here. Even John Morant pivoting to that. So it's rough. They are really bad too. I don't know, sort of gotten overlooked. They haven't been good since like start of December. So they're sort of remind me. The Heat the last couple seasons, they're like the. The kid in like Little league baseball who's like 8 years old, who's like probably 5 foot nothing or like 4 foot nothing, and goes to the plate and just takes balls every time because the pitchers aren't good and they can't find the strike zone. So he just walks all the time. Walks all the time, Walks all the time. Always getting on base. Good stuff. Great strategy. That works when you're 8 years old. Works maybe when you're 9 years old. But then when you get like 10 and 11, the pitchers start to get a little better. You gotta swing the fucking bat, kid.
- [61:55]
Trey Kirby
Swing the pat.
- [61:56]
Jay Skeets
Take it off your shoulder. And they just don't here and they haven't. So you got to swing at some point, I think. But I got the heat as a loser, man. What do you like?
- [62:07]
Trey Kirby
Totally.
- [62:08]
Jay Skeets
I watch a lot of little league baseball. Swing the bat.
- [62:10]
Trey Kirby
Yeah, I'm trying to hit dingers here.
- [62:11]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, adults do it.
- [62:12]
Jay Skeets
Hit a dinger, hit a single, hit a double.
- [62:14]
Tass Mellow
Adults do it too.
- [62:16]
Jay Skeets
Adults do it in softball.
- [62:17]
Tass Mellow
Yes.
- [62:17]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [62:17]
Tass Mellow
I just want to get on base.
- [62:19]
Jay Skeets
I know. Come on, man. What are we doing?
- [62:20]
Tass Mellow
It's not fun.
- [62:21]
Jay Skeets
No swing.
- [62:22]
Trey Kirby
Do you think they should have went after Drama Rant?
- [62:25]
Jay Skeets
I do. I mean, apparently cost nothing to maybe get him.
- [62:28]
Trey Kirby
Okay, so according to a random report from a man named Greg Sylvander, the Grizzlies asked the Heat for Hawkez or Khalil Ware. Terry Rozier and a first round pick for Jaw.
- [62:44]
Jay Skeets
Yeah. Yes.
- [62:45]
Trey Kirby
You would trade a first round pick for John Morant?
- [62:47]
Jay Skeets
I think so. Yeah. Maybe I do. I do.
- [62:50]
Trey Kirby
They.
- [62:50]
Jay Skeets
I still. I still have a little faith in John Moran. Yeah. Leveling up when he gets to a new team, whenever that is. But yeah, I could be wrong. He can't shoot. You know, maybe his athleticism is gone still into guns for all we know. So, yeah, maybe there's an issue. But I believe. I believe in John Moran still.
- [63:09]
Trey Kirby
Yeah, they should have done something.
- [63:10]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, they should have done something for sure. Like no infusion of talent here on a team, like I said, that's been really struggling and it's just going to be in the play in again.
- [63:18]
Tass Mellow
Yes, they are. Yeah. And a lot of injuries too. So even they're, you know, air quotes. Best players like Tyler Hero can't stay on the floor. It's a problem.
- [63:27]
Jay Skeets
Let's take a break. Oh, yeah, yeah. And when we come back, we will do worst of the week nominees.

- [64:21]
Tass Mellow
Who else? There was a secret, secret guest there that night. I lost his name. He was there that night at your place? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [64:29]
Trey Kirby
Secret guest, secret guest.
- [64:30]
Tass Mellow
He wasn't a secret guest. Another way to put it was a guy that we don't usually hang out with. He was just in town. Hardcore basketball guy. Used to be OKC. Hardcore numbers guy. Worked in OKC's front office to some degree maybe.
- [64:46]
Jay Skeets
What?
- [64:47]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, yeah.
- [64:48]
Jay Skeets
Sebastian.

- [65:49]
Tass Mellow
First of three nominees is the Lakers. Jackson Hayes, who took out the. The Wizard's mascot just took out G Wiz and he suspended one game for. If you're watching on YouTube, we've got that video of him as Gee Whiz is flying down the court. He just decks him, body checks him yeah. And G Wiz hammers a dancer for the Washington Wizards, goes from getting hammered from Jackson Hayes to hitting a dancer. And apparently G Wiz is all right, but you don't.
- [66:21]
Jay Skeets
How's the dancer?
- [66:22]
Tass Mellow
I don't know.
- [66:22]
Jay Skeets
Okay, great point.
- [66:23]
Trey Kirby
There's more padding for G Wiz.
- [66:25]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [66:25]
Jay Skeets
I like me dressed up as the pig. Yesterday you could have thrown me off a roof. I would have been. I've been fine. I was bounced. Yeah, I'm sure G Wiz have been all right. Yeah.
- [66:34]
Tass Mellow
And that's why I was a little surprised that Jackson Hayes got a one game suspension for hitting a mascot. Do we ever see that?
- [66:39]
Jay Skeets
I mean, Robbie Lopez does it all the time. Yeah, but that's in jest.
- [66:43]
Trey Kirby
Yeah.
- [66:43]
Jay Skeets
This is weird, though. Like, gee whiz, does not not expect this to happen.
- [66:48]
Trey Kirby
Not at all.
- [66:48]
Jay Skeets
And maybe. I'm sure he got rattled inside there, his head whipping back.
- [66:53]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, probably.
- [66:54]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [66:55]
Tass Mellow
Yeah. He didn't know, as you said, he was running back. He was sprinting to the tunnel and Jackson got him.
- [67:02]
Jay Skeets
Why didn't Jackson Ace do this? Like, did he just think it was gonna be silly a little bit and, like, doesn't know his own strength?
- [67:09]
Tass Mellow
Or maybe like you said, oh, here comes this padded mascot. It'll be fine. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Odd.
- [67:16]
Trey Kirby
I don't like it.
- [67:18]
Jay Skeets
Very odd.
- [67:19]
Trey Kirby
Do not like it.
- [67:20]
Jay Skeets
It's like dark too. Like, I mean, you can't even see, I imagine, to begin with in the mascot suit.
- [67:27]
Trey Kirby
Must have been terrifying moments.
- [67:29]
Tass Mellow
Second nominee during NBC's pregame show, Reggie Miller is right beside Caitlin Clark. Gets asked by Maria Taylor, who's your comp in the NBA for Caitlin Clark, and oh, gosh, you don't want to hear this answer. Here it is.
- [67:45]
Trey Kirby
That reminds you of the young lady to your right. I like Peyton Pritchard from Boston, the.
- [67:50]
Jay Skeets
Way he's able to handle.
- [67:51]
Tass Mellow
No, no, cut it, cut it. We don't want to hear anymore. We don't want to hear anymore. Yeah, she handles it well. He goes on to say, she is going to go win a championship just like Peyton Pritchard did. And that's when Caitlin Clark says, thank you, Reggie. She's being very, very kind. He also said, she is now the best shooter in Indiana. Better than Tyrese Halliburton, better than me. But the. I think that's making the headlines. You're Peyton Pritchard. Caitlin Clark.
- [68:19]
Jay Skeets
Yeah. I love her immediate reaction, though. Like, she's not trained in television, so she maybe forgets for like one second. Yeah, that you're on camera and it's a, you know, a fair response to him.
- [68:32]
Tass Mellow
She's puzzled.
- [68:33]
Trey Kirby
Very puzzled.
- [68:34]
Tass Mellow
Why Peyton Pritchard?
- [68:37]
Trey Kirby
I don't even think it's a good comp.
- [68:38]
Jay Skeets
No play style.
- [68:40]
Trey Kirby
Like, she's an awesome passer.
- [68:42]
Tass Mellow
No, it's not very weird. Yeah. Mello goes on to say she had it right. I think he's saying that Caitlin Clark compared herself to Luca in Subway because, well, he said she's. She's right. The Luca comparison is the one I think of. So Mello says she's like Luca, which is, you know.
- [68:58]
Jay Skeets
And she talked about, like, I wanted. I wanted better than painful things from Luca's game and add them to mine and all that.
- [69:03]
Tass Mellow
Okay. I guess that's where it came from. I know some people do the. Do the step thing, which is very difficult to say, but you can see why. More so than Peyton Pritchard.
- [69:14]
Jay Skeets
Definitely. Yeah.
- [69:17]
Tass Mellow
She goes deep, she'll pull up from anywhere. She'll talk.
- [69:20]
Jay Skeets
Halliburton is a more fair cop. Yep.
- [69:23]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [69:24]
Jay Skeets
With where he bombs from and the way he playmakes. Yeah.
- [69:26]
Tass Mellow
But maybe Peyton Pritchard talks a lot of trash and that's the comparison Reggie's making. I don't know. I'm not going to defend anything he does. What a weird poll. All right, here's another weird one. The third nominee for worst of the week is Pat Connaughton's hair. Got a dye job because he lost in fantasy football, but the dye job's not so good. That's the problem.
- [69:47]
Trey Kirby
That looks like a high school die job.
- [69:49]
Jay Skeets
Oh, dude.
- [69:50]
Trey Kirby
Yeah.
- [69:50]
Jay Skeets
There were like eight guys in my school that had this hair. Hair dye or hair job for sure. Didn't he?
- [69:57]
Trey Kirby
He just got released.
- [69:58]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, Yeah, I think so.
- [69:59]
Tass Mellow
Oh, ouch.
- [70:00]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [70:02]
Trey Kirby
Just living his life with this hair training.
- [70:06]
Jay Skeets
Poor Pat Connaughton. Poor Pat, but good sport, I guess. You think that was a predetermined fantasy football punishment?
- [70:14]
Tass Mellow
I think so.
- [70:15]
Jay Skeets
Like at the start of the season? I think so. Okay.
- [70:17]
Tass Mellow
Yes.
- [70:18]
Jay Skeets
It wasn't decided after.
- [70:19]
Tass Mellow
Yes. So those are your three nominees. The other one which was going around was Anthony Edwards being interviewed post game. And then a camera quickly swung over to Rudy Gobert, who was nude. He was a nudie Gobert.
- [70:34]
Jay Skeets
Okay, okay. The camera did swing over to Joe Ingles.
- [70:38]
Trey Kirby
Yes.
- [70:38]
Jay Skeets
In defense of the camera person.
- [70:40]
Tass Mellow
Okay. Yeah.
- [70:41]
Jay Skeets
But. Yeah. Rudy, check the background. Rudy is there, obviously.
- [70:44]
Tass Mellow
But. But they're gone. Undressing those clips of Rudy Gobert. They're gone.
- [70:49]
Jay Skeets
No way.
- [70:50]
Tass Mellow
I can't Find. I literally. Literally, I was gonna make it the nominee over Pat Connaughton because it's better. You literally, the. The camera swings over and you can see everything waist down from Rudy Gobert. Everything. Now it's kind of blurry. It's not. But either way, it's way better than Pat Constant's hair. And there's a reason why it's been deleted from the Internet. Like, the Anthony Edwards interviews are still there, but somehow they've gotten everybody to cut that part out. Wow.
- [71:16]
Jay Skeets
How did they do that?
- [71:18]
Trey Kirby
The clips are gone.
- [71:19]
Tass Mellow
They're gone. They're. God.
- [71:23]
Trey Kirby
That makes it better, actually.
- [71:24]
Jay Skeets
Kind of. I mean, look, you can't be the person recording. You can't be doing that. I get it. Ingles started talking, so you pan to the guy. But man, Holy. You are in the locker room there. Keep it. Keep it focused on Anthony Edwards just talking to you. Pretty funny.
- [71:40]
Tass Mellow
I didn't realize. It's fitting now that Pat Coddington lost his football fantasy. We're talking about Rudy Gobert being naked. I once had a fantasy team named Nudie Go Bear.
- [71:52]
Jay Skeets
Wow. Full circle.
- [71:54]
Trey Kirby
That's true.
- [71:54]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [71:54]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, you did.
- [71:55]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, yeah, with. I remember Danielle blocked out. She did a the Icon Photoshop of the lower half of New E. Gobert blocked out.
- [72:05]
Jay Skeets
Oh, right, right.
- [72:06]
Tass Mellow
Way better than what the camera person did.
- [72:08]
Jay Skeets
Honestly.
- [72:09]
Tass Mellow
Why was he taking his pants off in the middle of interviews and stuff.
- [72:12]
Jay Skeets
In the locker room?
- [72:13]
Tass Mellow
I know, I know. But there's interviews, there's cameras showered or.
- [72:16]
Jay Skeets
Getting ready to shower.
- [72:17]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, that camera got in there too early.
- [72:19]
Trey Kirby
A little too early.
- [72:20]
Tass Mellow
Blame PR Blame PR for allowing that camera person wait till our guys are dressed. Yeah, exactly. Oh, man.
- [72:27]
Trey Kirby
It was like a team wide fantasy football punishment, I think, for Pat Connon.
- [72:31]
Jay Skeets
Oh, it was the Hornets. Yeah. It's like, damn, then.
- [72:34]
Trey Kirby
Yeah, exactly. Kind of disappointing. Like, it would have been awesome if, I don't know, Brandon Miller or Khan finished last. Imagine Khan canipple running out there with blonde hair. Hilarious.
- [72:45]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [72:46]
Trey Kirby
Oh, he's the best possible guy.
- [72:47]
Jay Skeets
Maybe. Can I throw one more nominee in?
- [72:49]
Tass Mellow
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- [72:50]
Jay Skeets
Alpern Shen Gun had a bit of a rough week here. I would say when you add it all up, he wasn't selected to the All Star game. Okay, so that sucks for him then. He wasn't even the injury replacement we thought he might be for Giannis. No, they got cute with it. Put Cat on the international World Team and then pick Kawhi Leonard as a replacement for one of the Team USA teams. So there's that but you know, it's not really his doing. But two games ago, Sengun got ejected, got tossed, getting very upset with a female official and he dropped the B word on her. And you can see it, there's no doubt. And you can see the Celtics bench react when he says it because he says it to her because he was upset with a no call. He thought he got fouled as the ball went out of bounds. So there's that. And then finally after last night's game, I don't know if you saw this, Rockets coach IME Udoka was asked about Sengun, who's being hunted right now mercilessly on defense and like you're putting him in pick and roll options and he's not given a lot of great effort. They've lost these last two games. Udoka said to that question about that, it's been the case since I've been here. So no different there. I mean Udoka does not mince words in these things. So yeah, he's calling out Changun and there's a clip too. Durant's yelling at Changun in this game. Come on, man. So I would say that's a pretty rough week for him. Right.
- [74:03]
Trey Kirby
There seems to be a lot of tension with the Rockets right now and I think they're up there with the Heat. For teams that it's really strange they didn't make a move since December 1st. They're 18 and 15, 15th in offense 12th and defense 13th in net rating. They are just a middle of the pack team for the majority of the season and One of their two best players is 37 years old. I can't believe they didn't do anything yesterday.
- [74:25]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, it is definitely concerning that they don't have a ball handler healthy quite yet. They got blown out by the Hornets. I know it's a 10 point loss, but it was, it was way worse than that. Ime likes to call Sengun some things. I remember last year we had him as part of a worst of the week when he said stop being European type of thing. Yeah, get that European audio type of thing. But yeah, Sengun is. Plays really hard on one end offensively.
- [74:58]
Jay Skeets
And he throws that body around stinker too. Last night I think he was, he was like 3 for 11 or something. Maybe even worse. He did not have a good offensive game either.
- [75:06]
Tass Mellow
So.
- [75:07]
Jay Skeets
All right, worst of the week nominees, who is your worst of the week? Let us know here in the stream team who gets your vote of the night? Sponsored by Brad Hartzell on behalf of the Green team Committee for the Bristol Rhythm and Roots. You brought this up before, did you not?
- [75:24]
Tass Mellow
I did.
- [75:24]
Jay Skeets
The Bristol Rhythm and Roots. So here it is. This year marks the 25th anniversary of. Of the Bristol Rhythm and Roots reunion and a one of a kind celebration of country and bluegrass music, culture and community in the heart of downtown Bristol, Tennessee slash Virginia. Yeah, we talked about this. It's on the border.
- [75:42]
Trey Kirby
Oh, okay.
- [75:43]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, yeah.
- [75:43]
Tass Mellow
State line.
- [75:44]
Jay Skeets
So behind the scenes, the green team help. Help keeps the festival sustainable. Working with vendors and volunteers to reduce waste and protect our shared space. We love that here.
- [75:53]
Tass Mellow
Reducing waste.
- [75:54]
Jay Skeets
So good stuff, Brad. Way to sponsor it for the Bristol Rhythm and Roots reunion. We might have. We might see you there.
- [76:00]
Tass Mellow
I brought up that. That festival. That's when one of our fans. This was Nathan who saw the. The poster for it and said Sierra Farrell, she was the big name on there. She. He said she's great. You gotta get there. Tess. I listened to her. Listen. She's good. Yeah, there's a lot of soul in there. It's not my thing.
- [76:18]
Jay Skeets
Okay.
- [76:19]
Tass Mellow
The country bluegrass sub Sierra for all she's. Yeah, it's fun though. I'd love to walk a state line, be at a festival. Virginia to the left of us have a Tennessee to the right.
- [76:33]
Jay Skeets
Tennessee. Have a corn dog in Virginia. Hell yeah.
- [76:36]
Trey Kirby
Banjo. A little banjo action.
- [76:38]
Jay Skeets
It's gotta be for sure. That sounds cool. We have a friend that. We have a friend that can play the banjo.
- [76:45]
Tass Mellow
Who?
- [76:45]
Jay Skeets
Brody. I didn't know that you can legit play the banjo. Shout out to Brody. He watches.
- [76:49]
Trey Kirby
Tell him the song.
- [76:50]
Jay Skeets
Sure. Yeah. He'd gladly do that. Bristol Rhythm and Roots reunion. You think Chris Berman shows up to that? Bad ESPN joke. All right. Joel Embiid had a monster line. Wemby did his thing. Jalen Suggs filled the box score. But the whoa boy goes to Jock Landell. Making one hell of a debut for the hawks last night. Met matched his career high with 26 points in a win over Utah. Close win over Utah. Shot 10 of 14 from the field, 5 of 8 from deep, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks in 32 minutes played. This guy, man, this is crazy. And John Hollinger had a great point. The Jazz giving Atlanta Jock Landell for free so he could go for 26, 11, five and four blocks against them in a two point game. The next day is absolutely next level stuff. Chess, not checkers. Hollinger pointing out like, that's slick. They gave him the guy that beat them so they could take the L here as they try and keep their Chances good in the draft lottery? Yeah, amazing. But this is, this is a pretty fun story. Jock Lindell, he was in Memphis. I mean, he was traded to Utah but never went to Utah. He was going to fly on Thursday morning, but he's like, nah, I want to get there. I maybe want to play in the next game. So he drove five and a half hours from Memphis like TAS Mellows once upon a time. Took a little longer. We went the wrong way for a bit, but anyway, yeah, he just packed up his pickup truck and hit the road, he said, and got here on Wednesday, late Wednesday night, and then obviously played in this game.
- [78:21]
Tass Mellow
And then he started splashing threes. Yeah, he's got a very unique form of that shot.
- [78:27]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, it's.
- [78:28]
Tass Mellow
It's not quite the, the parentheses that you called Spencer Jones, but it's. It's in the same category.
- [78:33]
Trey Kirby
It is in the same category.
- [78:35]
Jay Skeets
He's.
- [78:35]
Trey Kirby
He's playing great this season.
- [78:36]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, I know.
- [78:37]
Tass Mellow
Like, I don't know.
- [78:38]
Trey Kirby
I've seen him have a lot of good games. You think he stopped at Bucky's on the way? Yes, I do too.
- [78:43]
Jay Skeets
Guaranteed. Did somebody, Somebody should have asked him. Yeah, yeah. Come on, Lee, ask him. Check in. So, Jock Landell, you know, I don't know if there'll be many more opportunities to give him a. Whoa, boy.
- [78:54]
Tass Mellow
So again, Embiid.
- [78:55]
Jay Skeets
He'll get more in the future. Wemby, he'll get a thousand. Jalen Suggs had an awesome game, but I wanted to give.
- [79:02]
Tass Mellow
I thought if there was a cheap center that the Pacers could get and if they weren't trying to go for Evita Zubots, Landale could be all right. He's had a good year for sure. He's splashing threes. I thought potentially another WO boy of the night could have been Jalen Suggs. His first triple double of his career. Plus four blocks and three steals. Nearly five by five.
- [79:21]
Jay Skeets
Incredible, incredible game it was between the two of them. But I went with Jock just because I wanted to tell that story about driving from Memphis.
- [79:30]
Trey Kirby
I appreciate that. Yeah, there was actually a lot of guys who were traded at the. Who actually played yesterday, which I think was kind of surprising.
- [79:37]
Jay Skeets
Yep, it's a good point. Games last night we already brought up the shorthanded warriors, erasing a 14 point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Suns. Did you see The warriors attempted 37 three pointers in the first half?
- [79:51]
Trey Kirby
That's a lot.
- [79:52]
Jay Skeets
They ended 20 of 55 from deep overall. Okay.
- [79:56]
Trey Kirby
Good percentage.
- [79:56]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, yeah. But things Cooled down in the second half. 37 Three point temps to in the first half. That is unbelievable. Hornets extended their win streak to eight games. One other note from that game though. Rockets old man Jeff Green added another poster dunk.
- [80:11]
Tass Mellow
That's incredible.
- [80:12]
Jay Skeets
To his. You'll never believe his eventual epic 20 minute mixtape that you're going to be showing your grandkids in like 2066 and you're like, is this guy the greatest player of all time? Another one. It was a good dunk. I think it was on Calbrenner, wasn't it? As he was going in transition. I think he threw it on the big guy.
- [80:31]
Trey Kirby
Still do it.
- [80:32]
Jay Skeets
My God. But the Hornets won. Hornets won. And Austin Reeves scored 35 points in 25 minutes. Lakers won a close one against the Sixers, but Luca left with another leg injury. We don't know the severity of it. Didn't return to the game.
- [80:46]
Trey Kirby
Not ideal.
- [80:47]
Jay Skeets
That is a guy. That's an old look. Team world, man. What's going on here? We'll wait to see about Luca. Like the all star game's next week. Will he play sga? Is he playing? I mean he's out from regular season basketball for at least a week. Is he going to play in the game? I don't know. They're losing some bodies here.
- [81:06]
Trey Kirby
Losing some bodies.
- [81:07]
Jay Skeets
Hey Shengun, you're in.
- [81:09]
Tass Mellow
So yeah, for usa. Anthony Edwards said he may not play because he's kind of banged up. During that interview when we saw Nudie Gobert some sign. Nudity. Go Bear. He said, I don't know, I'm kind of banged up. He's still playing basketball, but he might just want to take all star weekend off. And he's. He's been known to. Oh yeah, take that off.
- [81:26]
Trey Kirby
He's been known to be there and still take it off. Absolutely. Another 30 point game for Cooper. Flag 32 last night.
- [81:32]
Tass Mellow
That was good.
- [81:33]
Jay Skeets
Put him in for sure. Put him in.
- [81:35]
Trey Kirby
Why not?
- [81:36]
Jay Skeets
Sure.
- [81:36]
Trey Kirby
People will be excited.
- [81:37]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [81:37]
Trey Kirby
And not an all star. But the news yesterday was that Peyton Watson, grade two hamstring straight.
- [81:44]
Jay Skeets
Oh, I missed this.
- [81:45]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [81:45]
Trey Kirby
Expected to miss a couple extended time.
- [81:47]
Jay Skeets
Oh my God.
- [81:48]
Trey Kirby
They cannot stay healthy this season.
- [81:49]
Jay Skeets
Oh my God.
- [81:50]
Tass Mellow
Yeah. If he were to come back, it would probably be just pre playoffs. I mean that's the sort of the estimation. But there. Yeah. Nobody. Aaron Gorno wins game. Johnson coming back and Christian Brown's back. But yes, that's. That stinks for them. That's starting to. Starting to dig a bit of a hole there for the Nuggets Yeah.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the On Purpose podcast. On a recent episode, I sat down with Nick Jonas, singer, songwriter, actor, and global superstar.
- [85:20]
Nick Jonas
The thing I would say to my younger self is, congratulations. You get to marry Priyanka Chopra Jonas. And also, you know, your daughter is incredible.

Jay Shetty
Growing up on Disney in front of Million, how did that shape your sense of self?

I went blank. I hit a bad note. Then I couldn't kind of recover, and I built up this idea that music and being a musician was my whole identity. I had to sort of relearn who I was. If you took this thing away, who.

Am I listen to? On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
- [86:11]
Jay Skeets
Pick em. I finally won. Hey, my streak is over. I had lost 11 straight games. But that's all right. We had the Raps Bulls. Always a classic. Trey always has to take the Bulls. And he took the L. What a.
- [86:24]
Trey Kirby
Ridiculous team they had last night.
- [86:26]
Jay Skeets
Oh, yeah, Big line. Two of the Raptors. Yeah. Covered. Yep.
- [86:28]
Trey Kirby
And Yuki and Mack McClung playing together.
- [86:31]
Jay Skeets
Mm. I mean, that's an exciting, fun lineup.
- [86:33]
Trey Kirby
That is.
- [86:34]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [86:35]
Trey Kirby
I mean, think about how easy Matt McClung could jump over Yuki. He could maybe get his feet over.
- [86:41]
Jay Skeets
Do you think he could do a front flip over him Them and dunk it?
- [86:46]
Trey Kirby
Not and dunk it. I think you could do the flip.
- [86:48]
Jay Skeets
Do the feet.
- [86:48]
JD
Wow.
- [86:49]
Jay Skeets
The feet over them would look amazing, actually. Yeah. Like, you ever see those clips? Like, people that walk on water? Like, they'll jump into, like, a bucket of water, and they'll, like. You'll see their little tippy toes, like, go on the water, and it sort of looks like they're walking on water. I want to see Mac McClunk do that to Yuki in the dunk contest. Jump over him, but, like. Like, little tippy tap on his head and then dunk it.
- [87:13]
Trey Kirby
Please do that. We still need a fourth guy.
- [87:15]
Jay Skeets
I know who's going on this. We're not gonna be fine. I'll do it. Do it.
- [87:21]
Tass Mellow
A very impressive pig jump yesterday.
- [87:24]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, right. We'll put the pig Costume on and do some dunks.
- [87:27]
Trey Kirby
That would look awesome. You know who would love that? Darvin Ham.
- [87:31]
Jay Skeets
Oh, nice.
- [87:34]
Trey Kirby
He was in a dunk gun.
- [87:35]
Jay Skeets
Damn, that's good.
- [87:37]
Tass Mellow
Tonight's game.
- [87:38]
Jay Skeets
He did a 360 too.
- [87:39]
Trey Kirby
I think you're right.
- [87:40]
Jay Skeets
He did the tap. Yeah.
- [87:41]
Tass Mellow
Oh, yeah. Tonight's game, way better. Top two teams in the Eastern Conference.
- [87:44]
Jay Skeets
Nice.
- [87:45]
Tass Mellow
Knicks, Pistons. It's basically a pick em.
- [87:48]
Trey Kirby
Yep.
- [87:49]
Tass Mellow
Pistons are favored by 1 1/2 points at home. Skeets and I are taking the Pistons, Trey taking the Knicks. I was, I was ready for Trey to pick. I let Trey pick because he's in the middle of the standings. Yeah. First he's 1 and 3, trace 2 and 2. I'm 3 and 1. Skeets picked the Pistons. Was waiting.
- [88:10]
Jay Skeets
I went back and forth on this one. Yeah. Yeah.
- [88:12]
Tass Mellow
I don't know.
- [88:13]
Trey Kirby
The numbers are good for either side. Like home favorite versus a way dog. So we'll see how it goes. That should be a good game.
- [88:20]
Tass Mellow
Yes.
- [88:20]
Jay Skeets
I know the Knicks have a lot of guys on the, you know, questionable list tonight. Like, like, maybe a part of that was that double overtime game they just played. But I, I think like Cat may or may not play. OG may or may not play. Josh Hartman may not play. But then again, maybe Cunningham might be questionable, too. We just reached that point, man. You don't know.
- [88:41]
Trey Kirby
You don't know.
- [88:42]
Jay Skeets
Makes betting on these games very difficult. But we got the Pistons to win by two.
- [88:48]
Tass Mellow
Should be a great one.
- [88:49]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [88:50]
Trey Kirby
Off rematch.
- [88:50]
Jay Skeets
I might be flipping over between commercial breaks at the Olympics opening ceremonies. What kind of network?
- [88:57]
Trey Kirby
We got this thing on today.
- [88:59]
Jay Skeets
It's on the cock.
- [89:00]
Trey Kirby
Oh, no, this one is on Amazon.
- [89:02]
Jay Skeets
Oh, this game.
- [89:02]
Trey Kirby
Yeah.
- [89:02]
Jay Skeets
Sorry. Yeah.
- [89:04]
Trey Kirby
I was wondering if it was going to be both. Peacock mode.
- [89:07]
Jay Skeets
So one's on prime and one's on. I guess it'll be on NBC too.
- [89:10]
Trey Kirby
True.
- [89:10]
Jay Skeets
It's going to make flipping back and forth difficult. I might go buy a second TV for tonight.
- [89:15]
Trey Kirby
I need my Olympics tv, please.
- [89:17]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You see the controversy already with the dongs not to.
- [89:23]
Tass Mellow
Oh, yes, yes.
- [89:23]
Jay Skeets
Get all Rudy Gobert.
- [89:24]
Trey Kirby
This is a great controversy.
- [89:25]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, yeah. So they're like injecting their, their, their wangs to help them.
- [89:30]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [89:30]
Trey Kirby
Some kind of acid hyaluronic acid or something like that. Makes your suit bigger because of your bigger dong.
- [89:37]
Jay Skeets
Right.
- [89:38]
Trey Kirby
And then there's more like surface area. More surface area to like, turn you into more of like a parachute man.
- [89:44]
Jay Skeets
Yes.
- [89:45]
Trey Kirby
And apparently like 2cm of extra suit gets you 6 meters of extra jump.
- [89:50]
Jay Skeets
Yeah. It's unbelievable.
- [89:51]
Tass Mellow
That is unbelievable.
- [89:52]
Jay Skeets
That is.
- [89:53]
Trey Kirby
It's crazy. I've been injecting this stuff for no reason. You know, I don't even get the benefit from it. Except for, of course, looking cool in my sweatpants.
- [90:02]
Jay Skeets
Okay, here's an idea. I mean, I hate to all keep going. Always back to the pig costume, but put them in the pig costume, let them fly. Literally, pigs fly. I mean, awesome looking. What a straight. Like maybe. I've just never really thought about it. Fascinating event that it's still a thing, the ski jump.
- [90:21]
Trey Kirby
Yeah, it's just weird. What do you think? Yeah, like go jump that. See how far you can go.
- [90:26]
Jay Skeets
Yeah. Apparently that's a real big television camera trick though too. Like, it's scary what they're doing, the men and women, but like it looks like they're like a thousand feet off the ground, but they're really not wide. Yeah. And obviously the slope of the hill and so they. How they shoot it on TV makes it look. Look like they're flying way higher than they maybe are. I don't know. I thought that was fascinating.
- [90:49]
Tass Mellow
I watched a bit of the freestyle skiing, which is also in a half pipe. The drones are out there, so that's pretty fun because they've got drones. Quite often you see the drone within the shot of the other camera, but who cares? And you could hear it, you could hear the drums, but they offer so many good camera angles. It's pretty good.
- [91:08]
Jay Skeets
I'm excited, man. It's time for the Olympics, baby. Here we go. All right, before we go, rapid fire fun. JD you got the questions? We got the answers.
- [91:20]
JD
Yes, I do have the questions and you have the answers. Last week, 61 year old Lenny Kravitz opened NBC Sunday Night Basketball with a cover of a 58 year old Elvis song. I was not a fan, to be honest. I feel like I was the target as well. You know Lenny Kravitz in his covers. I don't know American Woman. I. I did not care for it. His originals I like. But anyways, guys, what's another old song covered by an old artist you'd want to see here open the next NBC broadcast?
- [92:00]
Jay Skeets
Well, before I answer, I mean, we just sort of completed the Wang trifecta, right? Rudy Gobert Wang, yeah. Ski jumpers injecting stuff into their wanks. Lenny Kravitz. We've seen that Wang.
- [92:12]
Trey Kirby
Speaking of Wangs, I love that clip. It's like one of the funniest Internet clips to me of the past 20 years.
- [92:19]
Jay Skeets
It's really funny. Yeah.
- [92:21]
Trey Kirby
I didn't have a lot of opinions about Lenny Kravitz, but it's number one thing I'll always think of.
- [92:27]
Jay Skeets
All right, so to answer your question. Question. Another old song covered by an old artist. Yeah, this was tough. JD My answer is super random. Give me Smokey Robinson singing Rich Girl by Holland Oates.
- [92:42]
Tass Mellow
Okay, I'm in. I am 100 in.
- [92:44]
Jay Skeets
I pitched it to Nora. She's like, hi. That'd be an interesting.
- [92:47]
Tass Mellow
She.
- [92:47]
Jay Skeets
She actually first got upset. He's like, you can't say Smokey Robinson. He's too old.
- [92:51]
Trey Kirby
He is very.
- [92:52]
Jay Skeets
He still tours.
- [92:54]
Stigots
Wow.
- [92:55]
Jay Skeets
He's 85, I think. Wow. Yeah, man. Okay. It's com. That's respect. I bet he sounds awesome still.
- [93:02]
Trey Kirby
Yeah.
- [93:03]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [93:03]
Jay Skeets
So it's good.
- [93:04]
Tass Mellow
You gotta pick somebody who's still touring. Yeah, I did the same thing. I did the same thing. I picked Lionel Richie to sing my.
- [93:10]
JD
Oh, hell yeah.
- [93:10]
Tass Mellow
Old ass song Feeling Good, which has been covered a billion times. Like our man.
- [93:16]
Jay Skeets
Oh, yeah.
- [93:16]
Tass Mellow
Our man. Michael Buble.
- [93:18]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, I'm feeling good. Yeah.
- [93:19]
JD
Yeah.
- [93:19]
Tass Mellow
Okay. Birds flying high.
- [93:21]
Jay Skeets
You know who originally sang that? That?
- [93:23]
Tass Mellow
Well, Nina Simone did a huge version of it. It was. It was a. In a musical. I read it was in a musical first. And then Nina Simone did it and she made it big. But then everybody. Yeah. So listen, I would love if Michael Buble did it, cuz it's. He can do it.
- [93:40]
Jay Skeets
Sing it. Forget. Forget basketball. Sing it during the ski jumping.
- [93:44]
Tass Mellow
Sing. It's flying.
- [93:49]
JD
It's on NBC. Let's do it.
- [93:51]
Tass Mellow
That's why it would make a great intro. Here's a guy. Here's a guy dunking a basketball.
- [93:55]
Jay Skeets
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That is good.
- [93:57]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [93:57]
JD
I missed Lionel Richie by one day when I was in Mexico last, but he was playing just down the road. Trey.
- [94:04]
Tass Mellow
He was touring in Mexico.
- [94:05]
JD
He was playing Mexico.
- [94:07]
Tass Mellow
Wow.
- [94:07]
Trey Kirby
Crazy double bill with Smokey. Smokey and Lionel together. I want to hear the Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan sing Tax man by the Beatles. Okay, man. Were you smashing Pumpkins fan, J.D.
- [94:23]
JD
Yeah. One of my favorite bands of all time.
- [94:25]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, they're. They're cool.
- [94:26]
Tass Mellow
Yeah. Still cool. They still have it.
- [94:28]
Jay Skeets
They still touring? Are they back touring?
- [94:30]
Tass Mellow
I guess, yeah, they're touring.
- [94:31]
Trey Kirby
Of course they are.
- [94:32]
JD
They got like some sort of 25th 30th anniversary or something.
- [94:36]
Jay Skeets
Amazing. Anyway. Oh, hey, Our Lady Peace is playing here soon.
- [94:41]
Tass Mellow
Wow.
- [94:42]
Jay Skeets
Just so you know.
- [94:45]
JD
What's that guy's name? Rain Maida?
- [94:47]
Jay Skeets
I think so.
- [94:48]
Trey Kirby
Yes.
- [94:50]
JD
Married to Chantal crevies. Just naming Canadians right now.
- [94:54]
Tass Mellow
Okay.
- [94:54]
JD
Yesterday, during our marathon Trade deadline livestream, Skee said, quote, if I could go back and relive my youth, I'd give Dr. Pepper more of a chance. Just a random moment from a very long show, guys. What's something you completely slept on growing up, Skeets?
- [95:15]
Jay Skeets
Well, I'll paraphrase myself again. If I could go back and relive my youth, I would give the 80s cartoon GI Joe, a real American hero, more of a chance. Never watched it. Never had an action figure. I thought Joe was one of the little dudes, but it's apparently all of them. For the whole longest time, I thought Joe was the guy.
- [95:41]
JD
Well, originally he was like in the 70s, the big, like the kung fu grip. That's a GI Joe for sure. But yeah, then it turned into an outfit.
- [95:50]
Jay Skeets
Interesting dude. I mean, I just. I just never watched. This was the one cartoon. It's my blind spot when it came to cartoons. I was, you know, all the other ones probably. You can name every other one I was in. Transformers, Thundercats, you know, those were like the 80s ones, right? The big ones. Not GI Joe. So he man. Oh yeah, he man. All of them.
- [96:10]
Tass Mellow
He great. He man was great.
- [96:12]
Jay Skeets
But not. Not GI Joe. I never had. I couldn't believe I never had any of the action figures. Had a lot of the wrestling ones and stuff like that, but. Yeah. Were you a GI Joe guy? Maybe it's cuz you're Canadian.
- [96:22]
Tass Mellow
No. Yeah, it wasn't for me. I did have a. A little, little character, but I never used him. I never was into him. Never was into the. I don't know why. I had one and I never actually watched it.
- [96:33]
Jay Skeets
Everybody had them. Yeah, it's like Barbies. It was the. The boys version of Barbies. Everybody had 100. Not me.
- [96:40]
JD
Tessie, what's something you slept on in your youth?
- [96:42]
Tass Mellow
Mine's not funny. It's getting personal here. I didn't have. I didn't watch kids movies. Sucks. Looking back, I should have watched more. I should have gotten more kids movies. I did watch the Lion King and that's why I can always sing. What's the trade of the day? That's the. That sticks in my head. Lion King. But yeah, I just missed out on a lot of kids movies. Watch it now.
- [97:05]
Jay Skeets
What?
- [97:05]
Tass Mellow
Why? Like what older siblings? My siblings are super old.
- [97:09]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, that's what I was wondering.
- [97:10]
Tass Mellow
So they weren't watching them. Yeah, right. They were listening. Guns and Roses and stuff, man. Yeah, what am I gonna listen To ZZ Top. No, I want a freaking kids movie. Yeah.
- [97:22]
Jay Skeets
Do you.
- [97:23]
Trey Kirby
Are you watching them now with your kids?
- [97:25]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, which is nice. Yeah, which is nice.
- [97:27]
Jay Skeets
Do you have a favorite?
- [97:28]
Tass Mellow
I mean, Home Alone's the one. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah, it's awesome.
- [97:32]
Trey Kirby
Lion King is good. I think you saw the best animated movie.
- [97:35]
Tass Mellow
Yeah. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Home Alone's. It's resonating right now. Like, I'm a little bit sick. I had to go to the bathroom today because I had some phlegm in my throat. And I come back and I say, I had a lot of phlegm. My throat. You know what they call me? Flemwad. That's a line in stupid line in Home alone. Anyway. The 90s, man. You could say you call somebody.
- [97:56]
Jay Skeets
Shut up.
- [97:56]
Trey Kirby
Flamwad.
- [97:58]
Tass Mellow
That was cool.
- [97:59]
JD
Forgot about Flamwad.
- [98:01]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, that's a bit of a deep cut.
- [98:02]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, that is a deep cut. But I do remember what you're talking about.
- [98:05]
JD
Totally 100, Trey. What's something you completely slept on growing up?
- [98:09]
Trey Kirby
Country music. Yeah, I didn't like country music as a youngster. And the Alan Jackson days. We used to have line dancing in middle school class. It's like, what are we doing dancing at the Chattahoochee? No, I love the Chattahoochee way down yonder.
- [98:24]
Tass Mellow
Great one.
- [98:25]
Trey Kirby
That was like, you know, 90s country is some of the greatest country music that was out there. And I only started liking it in the 2000s-2010s era, so. Wrong timing.
- [98:37]
Tass Mellow
Yeah. Got to go to Bristol Rhythm and Roots, maybe.
- [98:40]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, maybe so. We'll get Brody in here first and give you a little pluckin on the old banjo. See if it gets you excited.
- [98:48]
JD
Okay, last one, guys. Speaking of the live stream we did while wearing a pig's costume, Skeets cut a full blown WWE style promo trying to get NBA insiders to generate some slop. It didn't work. So let's try it again.
- [99:06]
Tass Mellow
Guys.
- [99:06]
JD
Give me your best WWE style pitch to convince someone to make something happen. Skeets.
- [99:13]
Jay Skeets
My name is Je. Skeets. And I am on a mission to reclaim my soul. And I'm not the only one who thinks, you know, it's about time this All Star celebrity game got a facelift. So make no mistake about it, this is an official declaration of war today. To anyone who wants to get in our way and anyone, anybody who stands in no Dunk's way, we have a mission to knock the pillars of this NBA media on their ass. We ain't Watching All Star Celebrity Games anymore, baby. We winning them. This is what you call a paradigm shift. And scene.
- [99:57]
Trey Kirby
That's good.
- [99:58]
Tass Mellow
That was great.
- [99:58]
Jay Skeets
Shout out to Jon Moxley.
- [99:59]
JD
Hell yeah.
- [100:00]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [100:01]
Jay Skeets
We're never playing in the game. But. But they're scared of us. They always were. Yeah, and rightfully so. We would have kicked their ass and put on a show and they would have got great ratings.
- [100:08]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [100:08]
Jay Skeets
Oh, well.
- [100:08]
JD
And then they're like, what have you been doing all these years? Sleeping on these.
- [100:12]
Trey Kirby
My God, Sleeping on us.
- [100:13]
Tass Mellow
Yeah.
- [100:14]
Jay Skeets
Come on. You could have put a mixtape together last night. Of the dimes I was throwing to this guy.
- [100:17]
Trey Kirby
You or you were passing them all Very nice.
- [100:19]
Jay Skeets
Last night. Holy crap, man. We should have a camera going. We could have sent that to espn. They would be like.
- [100:26]
Tass Mellow
Watch this. Shamsy.
- [100:27]
Jay Skeets
Yeah.
- [100:28]
JD
Tassie, give me your WWE style pitch.
- [100:32]
Jay Skeets
Oh, yeah.
- [100:33]
Tass Mellow
Adam Silver, you need to reveal the results of the aspiration investigation. We all know that it doesn't take a full NBA season to investigate what's going on. Why did my voice.
- [100:48]
Jay Skeets
God, it's so tough.
- [100:50]
Tass Mellow
That's really good.
- [100:51]
Jay Skeets
I thought about doing a macho man. I tried and I was like, no, I'm keep going to kill my voice.
- [100:54]
JD
Come on, Flemwad, let's go.
- [100:57]
Tass Mellow
I know, but I pulled one out a few weeks ago. Oh yeah. When I pulled out the wrestlers and it wasn't as good. So that's why I'm still. I'm. I'm still yearning to pull one out. Anyway, Pablo Dory's got all the information that you need.
- [101:11]
Stigots
Oh yeah.
- [101:12]
Jay Skeets
Snap it to a Slim Jim.
- [101:14]
Tass Mellow
Actually, in your case, snap it to a Slim Skins. And see. Yeah, there's more in there. That was crazy good.
- [101:26]
Jay Skeets
You're going to be feeling that all weekend, man.
- [101:28]
Tass Mellow
Oh, bro.
- [101:30]
Trey Kirby
The queen rises to the top.
- [101:34]
Jay Skeets
I love what he says there. Who's the. Who's the comedian that is with Katie.
- [101:38]
Tass Mellow
Nolan that can do the Dan sod.
- [101:43]
Jay Skeets
When he does the macho.
- [101:44]
Tass Mellow
Does he? Does he.
- [101:45]
Jay Skeets
Oh my. He does some of the best wrestling impersonations. He does the most incredible macho man. So good.
- [101:53]
JD
Trey, give me your. Bring us home with your WWE Taskmalis.
- [101:59]
Trey Kirby
You say you're gonna eat Taco Bell breakfast in your car and talk about.
- [102:03]
Jay Skeets
It on some stack.
- [102:05]
Trey Kirby
Well, I would love to see it.
- [102:06]
Jay Skeets
Snap into a crunch.
- [102:07]
Tass Mellow
Wrap.
- [102:10]
Jay Skeets
Back to back Macho Mans. We went Moxley and then two Macho Mans. Oh, yeah.
- [102:17]
Trey Kirby
Cramping, cramping on the side.
- [102:21]
Jay Skeets
J, can you do a macho Man? No. Come on, give it a go.
- [102:25]
JD
What does he say? Go give me a line.
- [102:27]
Jay Skeets
Cream rises to the top. You gotta put your pinky. You always gotta put your pinky up. Cream rises to the top. Pretty good. Oh, that's rapid fire. That's the drop. That wraps up an insane week of podcasts here from no one. Didn't we? Holy crap. Did we ever. Yeah, I think eight total podcasts. When you add all the emergency podcasts that we did the five hour live stream yesterday and we're gonna have some more live streams coming next week. We're doing a couple of watch parties here in the classic factory for the All Star Saturday night events and then the All Star game itself on Sunday. They start a little earlier here on the east coast. That's good for us, I guess. We're ordering pizza again.
- [103:11]
Trey Kirby
That's another winner of the trade deadline.
- [103:13]
Jay Skeets
Mellow mushroom. Delicious. Mellow mushroom. Delish. Oh, you just reminded me. Do we have leftovers or do we eat it?
- [103:20]
JD
So many goddamn leftovers.
- [103:23]
Jay Skeets
That's good because we have a second show, some of us coming up here a little bit later. If you're a traitor's fan of the reality show on Peacock, Nora will be joining us here in studio to break down episode eight, Trader versus Trader last night.
- [103:37]
Tass Mellow
Oh, yeah. Wow, you're risking the voice.
- [103:42]
Jay Skeets
I know, I know. I'm just. You guys got me inspired, man. I'm all pumped up. I just want to put on the pig costume and fight somebody now, man.

Trey Kirby
So we gotta squeeze a little basketball in there.

Jay Skeets
Don't worry. But I want to put aside at least 10 to 15 minutes to talk about two other big events. Okay?
- [104:28]
Tass Mellow
Listen, I watched some curling already. Yeah, man, good curling out there. The rocks are still going.
- [104:35]
Jay Skeets
Did they keep the lights on?
- [104:37]
Tass Mellow
Lights were on.
- [104:37]
Jay Skeets
Oh, did they, did they bring out. What's it called? The micrometer? Is that what it is? When they got to bring out the thing to see which stone is closer?
- [104:46]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, I didn't see any of the full length curling games. The benefit, I guess, of, you know, the Olympic clips that they're showing on Peacock. They just. Curling is fast. Like, they just show them best moments.
- [104:57]
Trey Kirby
Oh, okay. So you're seeing like, the. The hammer. Is that what they call, like, the last one where, like, you gotta get close? Yes.
- [105:04]
Tass Mellow
Basically that. Yeah.
- [105:06]
Jay Skeets
Which guy do we know loves the Winter Olympics the most?
- [105:09]
Tass Mellow
Which guy that we know?
- [105:11]
Jay Skeets
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll probably email him in one second here. He got it.
- [105:15]
Tass Mellow
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- [105:17]
Trey Kirby
Stoney.
- [105:24]
Jay Skeets
I was trying.
- [105:25]
Trey Kirby
I was like hardcore histories. Dan Curling.
- [105:34]
Jay Skeets
All right, all right. We gotta. We gotta get out of here, man. We gotta get out of here.
- [105:38]
Tass Mellow
Crack it up.

Jay Skeets
Love you guys.
- [105:47]
Trey Kirby
Awesome.
- [105:48]
Tass Mellow
Thanks for joining us. And remember, just watch all of our other shows because it got silly, which included some Taco Bell talk, which included me saying, listen to this, Trey the Crunch wrap at Taco Bell.
- [106:01]
Trey Kirby
I'm listening.
- [106:03]
Tass Mellow
What kind of shell do you think it has? It's a crunch wrap.
- [106:06]
Trey Kirby
What do you mean?
- [106:07]
Tass Mellow
What's it wrapped in?
- [106:08]
Trey Kirby
Well, it's a tortilla with a hard boy on the inside.
- [106:11]
Tass Mellow
I don't know if there is a hard boy. Is that a hard boy? Just a tort.
- [106:14]
Trey Kirby
It's just a tortilla. You're telling me it's called a crunch wrap. The crunch is just coming from the toasting.
- [106:19]
Tass Mellow
Yeah, I guess I didn't know that.
- [106:21]
Trey Kirby
Yeah, well, we're all eating them.
- [106:23]
Jay Skeets
The problem with Taco Bell is nothing is crunchy.
- [106:27]
Trey Kirby
You're doing it smart. I think by eating it in your car. Like, that's the. You're getting it prime time.
- [106:33]
Tass Mellow
Oh, yeah.
- [106:33]
Trey Kirby
If you gotta drive five minutes, it's a different food stuff.
- [106:37]
Tass Mellow
But that's surprising. That's not a double decker. There's a hard shell to me, and I don't think. You can't actually add to it. You can't put it because it's the shape. The reason why. It's the shape of. I don't even know what you would call it, but it's like a pentagon, almost half pipe.
- [106:52]
Jay Skeets
Imagine. Imagine doing some aerial moves inside the taco shell.
- [106:56]
Tass Mellow
That'd be cool. That'd be awesome.
- [106:58]
Jay Skeets
When is this coming, by the way?
- [107:00]
Tass Mellow
It's coming tomorrow. I was gonna go today, but there's a good Flemwater. I do not want to eat a Taco Bell breakfast today. It ain't happening, honestly. The long flu is happening here in Georgia.
- [107:13]
Jay Skeets
Okay.
- [107:13]
Tass Mellow
This guy's stomach. Not good over the last 10 days of 10 days of that stuff. I mean, it's on and off. It'll go away and then it comes back all of a sudden. Then I got a flu that I can't sleep. Then I gotta wake up with sweats and then all of a sudden there's something going on in the body. It's what's this is the longest flu that's ever been around anyway.
- [107:36]
Jay Skeets
Maybe it is.
- [107:37]
Tass Mellow
Well, that's it.
- [107:37]
Jay Skeets
