This is a podcast called 25 Whistles. Talking Fors. And they all wear a whistle. Yeah, it's stupid, but why did you expect. It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.
Kevin
25 Whistles.
Mike
Hello everybody. Thank you for being here. Eddie, blow that whistle. Thank you very much. Let's go first to Thunder and thank you Lord. Sup?
Kevin
Thank you, Lord. Dude, you can put that thong back in your drawer. It's done. It's done.
Mike
Congratulations.
Kevin
Thank you. Oh, and now you guys have to tell me, right? Like, hey you, dude, you're so smart. You called it a long time ago.
Mike
Well, the point wasn't that you were so smart. The point was that was just a normal bet. And you were like, I got this great out of nowhere bet. Well, I think the Thunder are going to win it all. And we're like, well, they by far the best record all season and they are the best team. So if you're going to claim that, you at least have to put something up against it. And you did.
Kevin
I did, Yeah. I said that I'd wear a thong.
Mike
Did you bet money on it though, like a future?
Kevin
No way, dude. No chance. I wasn't dude, the way the Pacers were playing, there is no way I was going to bet that the. That OKC was going to win. I was puckered, dude.
Mike
The whole.
Kevin
Well, the whole first half of the game, I was puckered.
Mike
Then after that, they were down a half, even after Halberd went down. And how tragic was that dude when he started slapping the floor?
Kevin
Yeah, you knew it was bad.
Mike
That sucked. I still think the Thunder would have won the game, but that sucked. So you know what else sucked? Let me mention this here. I had bet $600 on the Thunder moneyline Holmgren to score 12 plus points and Halliburton to score 16 or more points, and 600 bucks was going to make $2,000.
Kevin
Dang. That'd be nice.
Mike
Halliburton had nine in, like, the first three minutes.
Kevin
Yeah, he was on track.
Mike
Yeah, he was going to have it at half.
Kevin
No, I just. For your bet. Absolutely.
Mike
So I was already counting my money. I was like, I just hit $2,000. And then he goes down. And I went, no. And my wife's like, yeah, that sucks. I'm like, no, for my bet.
Kevin
Halliburton was saying no, and you were saying no for different reasons.
Mike
Let him at least get 16. So I go and I had some stuff to do, like leading into halftime, and my wife stayed in. I kept the television at halftime, and I'm like, is he back? Did he come back? He's going to play at all? She was like, no. And she was looking at online, she goes, do you think he tore his Achilles? And I was like, no. She was like, bet. I was like, yeah, but he's going to miss the whole year next year.
Kevin
That's so sad.
Mike
Look at that. There's Halliburton. There's Tatum.
Kevin
Tatum Lillard on the Bucks, too.
Mike
Yeah, yeah. Even. Even. Look at Oklahoma City. Like, John Morant got hurt round one. They play when Porter was hurt and he got. Got hurt, but had been hurt.
Kevin
Aaron Gordon on Denver, too.
Mike
Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, that's what I mean. Gordon.
Producer Eddy
Yeah.
Mike
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, good job, Thunder.
Kevin
Yeah, good job, man. Good job.
Producer Eddy
Is your biggest takeaway, though, the injury or the Thunder winning, like, as far as in 10 years from now, do you be like, oh, remember that game when Halliburton got. Got hurt? Or is it like, remember when the. Remember when the Thunder won their first title?
Mike
I don't think it. It'll be any of that. No, I think if the Thunder win two or three or four, it'll be, man, remember when Sam Presti won that first title after being there 17 years. And, like, I don't know. I don't think there was anything really, like, memorable about it other than the.
Producer Eddy
Injury, though, you know?
Mike
But I don't even think that injury mattered. I mean, it mattered in the game, but Halliburton's not a big enough star for them to be like, man, remember when Jordan went down Game 6, and the Jazz were able to come back and win that thing?
Producer Eddy
It's like the same thing.
Mike
Yeah. I feel like if Halliburton were a bigger star or if the Pacers were a favorite, it would have been different, but I think Oklahoma City was probably going to win anyway. Yeah, it was a home game. It sucks. I'm not taking anything away from it. The only thing that sucks worse than his injuries. I lost my bet.
Kevin
That sucked.
Mike
Yeah.
Kevin
You know what's really sad, dude? That very end, when they're all walking in the tunnel and they're. And he's just there in his crutches and everyone's giving him a hug.
Mike
What's up with everybody's Achilles getting ruptured? Yeah. So that sucked. And it also sucks that here's Indiana and they make it to game seven of the championship series. And now next year, they're not even going to have their main guy. Yeah.
Producer Eddy
The east is so open.
Mike
I think we could win the east next year, boys.
Producer Eddy
Yeah.
Kevin
The Whistles team.
Producer Eddy
Yeah, let's do it.
Mike
Do we have Reed on?
Kevin
Give me a second. We hook him up.
Mike
Okay, we're hooking it up with Reed because Reed's got something he wants to talk about.
Kevin
That's a good team.
Producer Eddy
I'm a little worried.
Mike
Well, mostly it's just Reed is living in disaster right now. After he moved from us, he moved to St. Louis, and it's been nothing but disaster. So I said I wanted to get him on and talk with him. I wonder if he even watches sports anymore now that he's not supposed to.
Kevin
Okay, he's on.
Producer Eddy
Boy, I'm gonna go with a no.
Mike
Is he Zoomy Mike?
Kevin
Can you hear him?
Mike
Yep. Hey, Reed.
Justin Reed
My boys.
Kevin
There he is.
Mike
From St. Louis.
Justin Reed
I miss you guys.
Mike
St. Louis Reed is on with us.
Justin Reed
Come on, now.
Mike
St. Louis Reed, how you doing, buddy?
Justin Reed
I'm good, man. How y' all doing?
Mike
Pretty good. You watch game last night?
Justin Reed
Absolutely not, but I. I watched. I watched the highlights.
Mike
And what'd you take away from it?
Justin Reed
Halliburton got hurt, but I also took that away from when you texted us about that.
Mike
Yeah. Oh, yeah. When I showed you my bet and how tragic that was.
Justin Reed
Dude, that is so tragic.
Mike
Actually, that's even more tragic than the injury even to read.
Kevin
Well, we're have. We have a personal connection to you.
Mike
Thank you. Thank you. Go ahead, Reed.
Justin Reed
Dude, when we went to the Pacers game, I bet on Halliburton for that game, and he also got injured in that game.
Mike
Maybe it's us.
Kevin
Oh, that's the one. He did the split, right, Reed.
Justin Reed
I got my money back, though, but.
Mike
Well, they ended up giving me my bet back, but I didn't win the money, so I guess.
Kevin
So even though you got the other two, I guess they couldn't keep a two part. That's what I hoped.
Mike
I hope they were just going to keep the two, like, if you. If even. Yeah.
Producer Eddy
What about, like a partial payout or something?
Mike
That's what I wanted.
Producer Eddy
Yeah.
Mike
Or if I just were to bet it. Yeah. Stupid. Anyway, Reed, so what happened to you?
Justin Reed
Dude, it's been pretty tragic since we moved into this apartment, but the tornado hit as soon as we moved in and kind of destroyed. We're on the sixth floor, so the roof is right above us, and we got all the AC units and stuff above us. And so I got exposed pipe in here, and I was in the living room watching a movie.
Mike
Also my nickname in college.
Kevin
Exposed pipe.
Mike
Exposed pipe. Yes. Yeah, go ahead.
Producer Eddy
I.
Justin Reed
We were in the living room watching a movie, and I hear like a sound. I was like, that did not sound good. So I was like. I made sure Maddie was like, you know, not flushing the bathroom or something, but she was. She was in the kitchen, so I was like, something's not good. So I walked in there, and it turns out this pipe above me is not for drainage for the rain, which is what they said. It's actually for a bathroom above us.
Kevin
No.
Justin Reed
And it literally just dumped piss water all into my studio.
Mike
No way. No way.
Justin Reed
Dookie water everywhere, man.
Mike
Dude.
Kevin
And Reed just posted about his studio, like. Like, it's all ready.
Justin Reed
Yeah, dude. I went and got a whole can of Lysol. Used a whole can of Lysol. Sprayed the floors, sprayed everything. I went to. I didn't trust them to fix this pipe because they haven't really done a whole lot out here. So I went to Walmart and got like, as much flex seal as I could possibly get. Have you seen that? You know the infomercial guy?
Mike
It's like, it'll hold two boats together, that type thing.
Justin Reed
Literally.
Producer Eddy
Yeah, yeah.
Justin Reed
I got so much of that, dude. And I just wrapped these pipes with it so it never happens again.
Mike
And you're sure that water came from another toilet down into your studio?
Justin Reed
Yep, because I instantly went outside and was going down to the. The whatever office, and I. In. In the elevator, I passed the maintenance guy and he goes, did you just get a leak? And I was like, yeah.
Mike
What was that?
Justin Reed
And he was like, yeah. So you got a bathroom above you and it flooded. So that's what that was. I was like, fantastic.
Mike
And by flooded, though, that could mean just water that's in the toilet or bathtub. It doesn't have to mean someone peed and that water came down the hole.
Justin Reed
Well, you said it was specifically the urinal.
Kevin
They have a urinal?
Justin Reed
Yeah, dude, Right above me. And so hopefully y' all can't hear it. I've tried to do as much like, you know, isolation as possible, but it literally sounds like a waterfall constantly above me with these pipes, which I thought was. Dude, I thought it was just rainwater, but no, it's straight dookie water coming above my head.
Kevin
So this had nothing to do with the tornado. This is a whole different deal.
Mike
I think the tornado, though, created a bunch of damage.
Kevin
Oh, boy.
Mike
And right.
Justin Reed
Yeah, we got.
Mike
We got.
Justin Reed
Yeah, we got a leak in our kitchen now, too. There's like a leak in the ceiling coming down from the AC units they put in that. We just have, like, a towel that's dripping. Man, I want out of here.
Mike
It also sounds like a garage band. Hey, everybody, thanks for coming to the show. We are exposed pipe. So what do you do? What do you do all day now that you don't have a job?
Justin Reed
So recently I've literally just been trying to get my office together. I somewhat have it together. None of the electronics are plugged in. This is literally just my microphone and my laptop. And so today is putting all the wiring and cable management and stuff like that. So once that gets done, then I'm going to try to start reaching out and getting some more jobs and trying to just edit my life away.
Mike
Is your wife working?
Justin Reed
Yeah, yep, she's working today. I dropped her off at the hospital this morning, and then I'll pick her up around one or so.
Mike
So do you guys only have one car?
Justin Reed
No, we have two. But also the parking here is horrendous, where we gotta, like, sardine in back. Like, back in, like, one after the other. So it just makes sense that I would just drive her so she. I don't have to pull out and she has to take her car out.
Mike
Or it's kind of like a job. It's your job.
Kevin
Oh, to move the cars.
Justin Reed
Yeah, it's. Dude, it's been rough. I'm ready to. I'm ready to get a house.
Kevin
Oh, I. I thought I was gonna say come.
Mike
Yeah, let's go. Move on back, buddy.
Justin Reed
Oh, man. It's been nice, though, to be home with the pup. So y' all want to see my wiener real quick, huh?
Mike
Yes. Yeah, show us your wiener.
Kevin
I saw it in the back.
Mike
You show me your wiener, then show us your exposed pipe.
Justin Reed
Look at that, dude.
Mike
Whose dog? Whose dog is that?
Justin Reed
That's Maddie's.
Kevin
It's Blue Yalls dog now, though, right?
Justin Reed
Yeah, she's been mine, so she's a little studio weenie down here.
Mike
Also, my name in college. Studio weenie. All right, Reed.
Justin Reed
Oh, man.
Kevin
Good luck, buddy.
Mike
Good luck, buddy.
Justin Reed
Thank you, man. I love you guys. I miss you. I'm actually gonna.
Mike
I'm. I for.
Kevin
Here we go. Here we go.
Mike
It's freezing now. He froze.
Kevin
How convenient.
Justin Reed
Am I freezing?
Mike
Yeah.
Justin Reed
Even the Wi Fi out here is fantastic.
Mike
Yeah. St. Louis Wi Fi. What?
Justin Reed
You got Wi Fi? I say I'm gonna come.
Mike
Oh, no.
Kevin
Oh, no. We lost you, dude.
Mike
We lost you. We're gave you one more time. Go ahead.
Justin Reed
Oh, come on.
Mike
You hear me? Go ahead. Go. Go.
Kevin
No, man.
Mike
Freezes every time.
Justin Reed
See you in July twice.
Mike
Okay.
Kevin
Okay.
Producer Eddy
See you.
Mike
Read. There he is. Read, everybody. Love you guys. I played in a pickleball tournament this weekend.
Producer Eddy
Yeah, that goes.
Mike
Let me tell you something.
Kevin
Come on.
Mike
I go to this tournament, they move me up a class I shouldn't have been playing in. This class that I was up in. I don't know if the lower class was too full and the upper class wasn't like the upper category. I'm playing against guys that have, like, 4.0 ratings. And so I get in and I can tell immediately that I'm overmatched because they're hitting, like, curves and, like, they're serving with curve. That's fine. But they are advanced, and it's a lot of non American players. So they're really good. They're better than Americans. Just like everything else in life, you're not American. You're probably pretty much better at football. Yeah.
Producer Eddy
Yeah.
Kevin
Well, soccer and pickleball.
Mike
Yeah. Tennis.
Producer Eddy
American football.
Mike
Fidel. Oh, we have the only sport that we play.
Kevin
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mike
So I'm playing and I'm playing this guy. He's older than me, probably 10 or so years, but I could tell he's really good. And so you play to 11 and I'm. I'm amped, but because I realized they put me in a class that I've never played in before. So I'm like, I really got to focus up. And I beat him like 11 to 8.
Producer Eddy
Okay.
Mike
The guy's like a 4.0. And then he's like, all right, let's go again. And I'm like, what? It was best two out of three. He pounded me the next two. Oh, I put every bit of energy in the first. I had nothing left in the tank. I didn't realize it was best of 3 to 11. It was like death by attrition. Players just falling out. So I lost. But I felt pretty good because I played somebody. There's a 4.0, and I beat him once, thinking, okay, I can play with these guys. So I'm 0 and 1, and there were eight people in this tournament. You had to play seven, best of threes to 11. So it's full round robin. And so it was like a four hour tournament. Jeez, I had no idea. So I play the second guy and I get whooped.
Kevin
Like flight of the game American.
Mike
Interesting. You asked that.
Kevin
Was he wearing like a.
Mike
Feels kind of racist.
Kevin
No, no, no, I'm kidding.
Mike
I'm the one. Hold on, I gotta remember. Yes.
Kevin
Okay. Yeah, okay. He was wearing red, white, and blue shorts.
Mike
No, no. I have all their names, too, who I played against. The guy crushed me. Yes. Oh, boy. Like, two games to zero. And I'm like, still, like, I gave it all in that first match. And so I'm like, this sucks. I'm 0 and 2 in tournament play, and I get to round three, and I'm like, if I don't win this, I'm just playing for pride at this point. Like, I still want to be in. And so I'm playing this dude, and he is calling balls that are way I can't see. And I always give the benefit of doubt to the other person to make the call if it's close, because I know my vision's not good. But he's calling balls that even I can see her. In, out, and I'm getting pissed. So he does it like four times, and I'm like, dude, what's up? And he, like, says something back. And I said, I didn't say anything the first few times, but you're obviously not looking at the ball and you're just calling him out. So he does it again and I go, are you doing a bit? Well, he thinks I Called him A. Oh. My question was, are you doing a bit? But he hears, hey, you're a bit. So he starts coming up to the net, mouthing. At this point, I'm tired, I'm irritated. I've lost two in a row. And so I just take the ball and throw it to him.
Kevin
What?
Mike
Not Adam. Oh, well, I mean, it's kind of a mid, not two serve. Or like, just, like, react to this. Oh, boy.
Kevin
Oh, boy.
Mike
But also, like, my wife told me, if I get a fight at a pickleball tournament, that's the lamest fight I could ever be in. And the guy wasn't bigger than me. He was probably my size. Normal. Whatever.
Kevin
American.
Mike
Yep. A bit younger.
Kevin
Okay.
Mike
But America. And he. So again, he thought I called him the B word, which I didn't. And so he. I throw the ball at him, and then I realized because he catches it, I have to have it to serve again. After we get into our little tiff. So he throws it back to me. I catch it. Well, I end up beating him.
Kevin
All right, all right.
Mike
But before I beat him, I like, Haliburton. I wiped out. And so my knee is all scratched up my back. And so I. In that final game, I, like, fought through injury and won. And in my head, I'm like, this can be like a Disney movie, you know, Like, I'm going to show them. So I went. He's pissed. I was pissed. But I won. I go to the next match. I can't even move, and I'm playing some dude. Not American.
Kevin
No, not American.
Mike
It takes three points, and I'm like, one. I wouldn't be able to play with him anyway. And I did the most responsible, mature thing I could possibly do. Retired. Not from the game of pickleball, but in the tournament, it says Bobby B. Retired.
Kevin
Wow.
Mike
My back kills today. My knees all scratched up, But I was a little overmatched. I wish I wouldn't have played up in that high bracket. I wasn't ready for it and almost got to a fight at pickleball tournament.
Producer Eddy
Wow.
Kevin
Pretty epic.
Mike
I'm a little injured right now, but I did. I did get a win.
Producer Eddy
But you fought through it.
Mike
I did get a win, but it was after the match when I just sat and let it get cold. Before the next match, man, my knee started to go.
Kevin
Yeah.
Mike
In my back. And I just knew I could have probably played through it, but it would have hurt me real bad the next day. And I just knew my wife was gonna be like, why'd you play through that crap.
Producer Eddy
Was she there?
Mike
No.
Kevin
Oh, Shango.
Mike
No. God, no.
Producer Eddy
Oh, you're just by yourself?
Kevin
Oh, man. Yeah. You drove yourself.
Mike
Yeah. You think she's gonna go sit in a pickleball tournament for two hours and watch me play some other random dudes?
Kevin
Probably not.
Producer Eddy
Probably not. But it'd just be funny to come back and your face is all busted. You're like, I gotta fight.
Mike
Yeah, well, that's what she said. She was like, don't get into a fight. You might lose. And then I was like, what do you mean I might lose? She goes, and you might lose at a pickleball tournament. Which makes it even more embarrassing. So that was my pickleball tournament weekend. I'm gonna do something. I'm gonna give you guys a chance to win some cash. Eddie, let's go. But you have to wager some cash to win some cash. Okay, okay. We'll take a break. I got a little game we're gonna play. We'll talk about Kevin Durant getting traded to the Rockets to give us a second.

You have a game we're gonna play here, and only one of you gets the opportunity to play the game.
Kevin
Oh, interesting.
Mike
You ever see that show Name that Tune, where it was like, I can name that in four notes. The other person goes, well, I can name that song in three notes.
Kevin
Yeah.
Mike
And then finally, someone has to go, name that tune. No, you never saw it. For example, Kevin, if I were to give a clue, unname that tune. If I were to say, this song is what you walk on to get to a higher place, and then Eddie would go, huh? I can name that song in five notes.
Kevin
I know it already.
Mike
Right? I made it. So. Okay, you don't have to do that. Of course. I made it so easy.
Kevin
I got this.
Mike
And so you've heard the clue. And he goes, I can name it in five notes. So that means he gets to hear the first five notes of the song. And then you go, no, with the clue. I think I can name it in four.
Producer Eddy
Okay.
Mike
And then Eddie gets to go, well, I can name it in three. And if you're like, okay, good luck, then you go, name that tune.
Producer Eddy
Okay. You're gambling with tunes? Basically, yes.
Mike
Okay, so.
Kevin
But I'm assuming this has nothing to do with tunes.
Mike
It doesn't, but it's kind of the idea of the sports version of this.
Producer Eddy
Okay.
Mike
Now, if you do decide you want to play, It'll be a $1 bet by both of you.
Producer Eddy
Let's go.
Kevin
I'm in.
Mike
But. But if you're able to win, I'll give you five bucks.
Kevin
I like it.
Mike
Hey, so what I have. I have every national championship won in this calendar year, this school calendar year, because it's over now. This has concluded now that we are June 23rd. Whoa. The 24, 25 year is over. So anything now that happens, and I believe it'll be football or whatever in the fall that starts it again. So I have every one of them. Now, how many can you name? Because there are 3, 6, 7 times 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 times 5 is 35. There's 38 national champions.
Kevin
This is crazy.
Mike
Yep. And so you'll get to the point, one of you will say, you can do it. And then if you do it, you get. And you do it, you get five bucks. If not, you give me a dollar.
Producer Eddy
Can we write them down? Or how.
Mike
But you have to win it first. Like, Eddie, how many can you name? Can you name at least one national championship?
Kevin
Oh, yeah, absolutely. I can name at least one.
Mike
Okay.
Producer Eddy
Yeah, off the top of my head. Three.
Mike
Oh, he goes to three. Eddie, can you read three?
Producer Eddy
I can.
Kevin
I can name four.
Mike
Okay, so we're talking all sports across the boards. Collegiate, NCAA, Division 1, national champs.
Producer Eddy
Okay, Yeah, I can name.
Kevin
Oh, not professional. Got it.
Mike
Oh, yeah, college. Sorry.
Kevin
Okay.
Producer Eddy
Yeah, I can name four.
Mike
Well, he already said four. So you have to have five. Or name that two. Or name.
Kevin
Name that championship.
Mike
Name that. Or name those natties.
Producer Eddy
Oh, my gosh.
Kevin
What's he at? He's trying to do five.
Mike
Oh, he either has to do five.
Producer Eddy
Okay, I got five.
Mike
He's got five easily. Eddie, can you do six?
Kevin
He's got five. No, I can't do six.
Mike
So name those natties.
Kevin
Name those natties.
Mike
Okay, so you can't miss any. So you have to get five NCAA national champions. Go ahead, give me your first one.
Producer Eddy
Ohio State in football.
Mike
FBS football. Ohio State. Check. That's correct. One.

Mike
There you go.
Producer Eddy
Thank you. Cornell.
Mike
Come get your cash there.
Kevin
Dang.
Mike
Eddie, could you got those five?
Kevin
Yeah, those would have been the five that I could have gotten.
Mike
No other ones?
Kevin
Trying to think, man.
Mike
Women's cross country and men's cross country was byu. Field hockey was Northwestern. Women's soccer was North Carolina. Men's soccer was. I don't know, some school with a V and a cat running through it.

USC wrestling, Penn State, women's basketball. Oh, that could have been one. Women's basketball, because Paige Becker's finally hit it.
Kevin
Is that connect?
Producer Eddy
Didn't even think about.
Mike
Women's basketball, men's basketball, Florida, women's golf. Northwestern, men's golf, Oklahoma State, women's lacrosse, North Carolina, men's lacrosse, Cornell. We're almost done here.
Kevin
That was clutch, dude.
Mike

Producer Eddy
Tell you where you're from.
Mike
Women's water polo, Stanford Beach Volleyball. TCU.
Kevin
Okay.
Mike
Softball, Texas. And baseball, LSU. You got him five. Good job. Dang.
Producer Eddy
38, that's a lot.
Kevin
Do you know any of those other ones, Kevin, now that you heard it.
Producer Eddy
Back, I mean, the Yukon woman. If I would have thought about that hard enough, but other than that, no. I would have guessed like an Ivy League school for rowing or something like that.
Kevin
But I feel like Texas too, always wins. Swimming, they're so good.
Mike
What prescription are you on now?
Kevin
I don't know what it's called. Let me. I did take a picture of it because I thought you might ask me, but it's a. Anti inflammatory.
Mike
I'm on one because I lost some cartilage in my ankle. It's called like. What's yours called?
Kevin
Naproxen.
Mike
I don't think I have that one. You know how old people compare medication.
Kevin
That's what we're doing right now. What are you taking? You have one of those pill things.
Mike
With the days of the week on it?
Kevin
Have it.
Mike
I have it. I did it one time. I tore some cartilage out of my ankle and so it's gone. You don't grow that back, which sucks. There's no regeneration, so it's bone on bone all the time. But the good news is I can't hurt it any worse. The bad news is it just always hurts. So my doctor gave me the same thing, which is an anti inflammatory.
Kevin
Let's go.
Mike
And I don't take it every single day, but I do take it like if I'm going to play something. But you have one. Is it. Dude, it makes me feel so. My leg feels so good, dude, I feel great. It's awesome.
Kevin
I feel the best that I've felt in 10, 15 years. Yeah, like my back, I weigh. Wake up. My back doesn't hurt. Nothing. My heel, I've been dealing with the plantar fasciitis. No pain there.
Mike
Really?
Kevin
I feel great. And my arm, most importantly, which is why I went to the sports doctor anyway, to just double check on my arm to see if it was healing properly.
Mike
What's yours called again?
Kevin
A Naproxen.
Mike
Okay. Mine's called Meloxicam.
Kevin
Oh, I hear that's a good one.
Mike
Yeah.
Kevin
Yeah, we do sound so old.
Mike
Yeah. And it just helps my injury so much.
Kevin
But you're not taking it every day, huh? So my doctor said take it every day.
Mike
I. I'm nervous about taking anything every day.
Kevin
I know.
Mike
I don't even like take Advil every. I mean, if I get a headache, I try not to take anything because I'm so scared of being addicted to anything. But I probably could take it every day. So. Yeah, I just wondered if it was the same. But it does help so much.
Kevin
Dude, my wife is worried. She's like, what are you taking over there? Because, you know, I'm like, oh, is it dinner time? Hold on, let me get my pill. And she had no idea. She thought I just went to the doctor and you know, they got some physical therapy, whatever, appointments. But no, I'm like, I'm on anti inflammatories and I feel awesome.
Mike
Kevin, did you ever hurt yourself playing football? Yeah, but not. Not an injury that's recurring still. That so hurt. No.
Kevin
You have one, right? Your shoulder?
Producer Eddy
Yeah. That's still recurring though. But as far as. No other than concussions, like, no, like broken bones or anything like that. Playing football.
Mike
I have broken fingers from playing football. My injuries from playing the man's sport. Pickleball. Yeah. Yeah. Man. Man. Do you see Travis? Kelsey thinks he has cte.
Kevin
No.
Mike
Yeah, he's like, I'm. I'm almost certain I have it. It makes sense if you're playing a position where you're just taking head shot after head shot, which is what you're doing as a center, not Travis, Kelsey, Jason, Kelsey.
Kevin
Oh, I thought it was Travis.
Mike
Okay, sorry, sorry. Wrong. Kelsey.
Producer Eddy
Like, he's like, I want to keep playing.
Mike
No, yeah, good. Good point. Jason, Kelsey. My bad. Jason, Kelsey has. Is like, I'm sure I have ct. Did he.
Kevin
Did he talk about why he feels like he has it? Like, are there certain symptoms that keep having.
Mike
I think there are mild, but I think he's also saying, like, not only do I have these mild, but I think he knows the reality of you get in the head that many times.
Kevin
Yeah.
Mike
And you're having these. Mike, would you look up exactly what he said? That just came to my mind as we're talking about this and injuries, but when the weather gets weird, my fingers hurt so bad from. I did break those playing high school football back in my man days.
Kevin
What is that? Because my foot, you know, that I broke with the Cardinals. Like, it hurts, too, when the weather changes.
Mike
That's cool to get to say you.
Kevin
Broke it with the Cardinals, man, when I play with the Cardinals, I don't. And I stopped the story there. I don't have to go any further with the story.
Mike
I. Let's ask Chat. GPT Chat.
Kevin
GBT has to tell us because that is so weird that, like, your body will ache because of weather change.
Mike
Okay, here we go. Why does my body ache because of weather change? For example, anything that I've broken. Why does it hurt whenever the weather is changing?
Kevin
Is it just going to tell you or does it make a video?
Producer Eddy
Everything's video for everything's video.
Kevin
This guy's on horses. Let me tell you, Bobby.
Mike
Well, Bobby, it never talked back to me. It's supposed to talk back to me. Why does it hurt whenever the weather changes? And any of my injury. I don't even know what I'm asking.
Kevin
Broken bones, right? Broken bones.
Mike
I don't know.
Kevin
Just say, like, why do my old broken bones hurt when the weather changes?
Mike
Why do my old injuries hurt worse when the weather changes? Old injuries often hurt worse when the weather changes due to shifts in barometric pressure, temperature, and humidity and how those factors affect your body's tissues and nerves. Number one, barometric pressure drops when a storm is coming. The air pressure drops. The lower pressure allows tissues to expand, especially around joints or damaged areas like scar tissue or arthritic joints.
Kevin
Wow.
Mike
Cold temperatures cause muscles, tendons, and ligaments to stiffen. That stiffness reduces mobility and can exacerbate lingering weaknesses and tightness from an old injury. Humidity swings, nerve hypersensitivity. And why it happens more when you age. Aging Joints already have less cartilage and slower circulation. Injuries don't heal perfectly, so those tissues are more vulnerable to external stressors, like weather fluctuations. If you want relief, warm compression, light stretching, magnesium, or ask Eddie about his medicine.
Kevin
That's amazing. So I understand the cold, right? Because this is like putting ice on something, like automatically, whatever. Tendons, ligaments tighten up. Makes sense. But the fact that humidity and the pressure in the air messes with your bones, that's. I mean, man, I don't know. Like, how did they figure that one out?
Mike
Probably somebody was just hurting a lot less when the weather got different.
Kevin
Like, hey, wait a second here.
Mike
I do have ESPN's all quarter century team. If you saw this, you can take yourself out of the conversation. Kevin, did you see it?
Producer Eddy
I did not.
Mike
So here's ESPN's all quarter century team.
Kevin
Quarter century.
Mike
Last 25 years at quarterback, they have three players.
Kevin
Quarterback, they have three players. Three, 25 years. Tom Brady.
Mike
Correct.
Kevin
Patrick Mahomes.
Mike
At number three. Patrick Mahomes. Correct.
Producer Eddy
Peyton Manning.
Mike
Correct.
Kevin
Good one.
Mike
Those are your three quarterbacks. One fullback.
Producer Eddy
Kylahushek.
Mike
Correct.
Producer Eddy
Nice, man.
Kevin
I couldn't think of another one.
Mike
Three running backs, last 25 years.
Producer Eddy
Ladanian Tomlinson.
Mike
No, O. I think that might be before 25 years.
Kevin
Poker fighter.
Mike
I don't know. What? I don't know. LT. What?
Producer Eddy
Poker Peterson.
Kevin
Adrian Peterson.
Mike
No.
Kevin
Oh, wow. What? 25 years.
Mike
And I don't know where LT falls in the 25 years, but he didn't make the list.
Producer Eddy
That's crazy.
Kevin
So 2010 and on.
Producer Eddy
No.
Mike
2000. 2000 and on.
Kevin
Yeah. Because we're 20. 25. Good call. 2000 and on.
Mike
Running backs. Three running backs.
Producer Eddy
I'm just trying to think, if they didn't make it, who else?
Kevin
But would they have put Saquon on that? On there?
Mike
No.
Kevin
Okay.
Mike
No, I. I couldn't argue that. He shouldn't be on there.
Kevin
Right. I just think it's too. That's too fresh.
Producer Eddy
Yeah. I'm trying to think 20 years ago.
Mike
Two of these guys still play right now.
Producer Eddy
Wow.
Kevin
Okay. Alvin Camara.
Mike
You get a punch. McAffrey's one.
Kevin
Okay.
Producer Eddy
Wow.
Kevin
Really?
Mike
The other one you're going to punch yourself in the face for because you're not getting it.
Kevin
I'm thinking of it. I mean, is it a cowboy? Oh, Ezekiel Elliot. I'm just kidding.
Producer Eddy
No way.
Kevin
I'm joking.
Mike
Oh. Who do you think has been the most dominant running back of the last 15 years, even though he hasn't been on a good team?
Producer Eddy
Oh, Derrick Henry.
Mike
Correct.
Producer Eddy
Yes. Okay.
Mike
Derrick Henry, Christian McAffrey, and Priest Holmes.
Kevin
Oh, I would have never gotten that.
Mike
I would have never guessed Priest Holmes. No, not my list. I probably would put a Saquan.
Kevin
Yeah.
Mike
Because even when the Giants sucked, he was really good. And also it's probably recency bias since they just won the Super Bowl.
Producer Eddy
I would have even put, like, Jamal Charles before prep. Like, guessing.
Mike
I'm saying wide receiver.
Producer Eddy
I mean, Randy Moss.
Mike
Number one. Correct.
Producer Eddy
Yeah. Terrell Owens.
Mike
The other two probably on the. Well, at least one of them's on the earlier side of the last 25 years. Played with one of the quarterbacks.
Producer Eddy
Oh, Marvin Harrison.
Mike
Correct. Ooh, Randy Moss. Marvin Harrison. And the other. I feel like if he'd have played on a team that got him the ball more, he would have been a lot more dominant. But the same thing when he was in college. Like, awesome.
Producer Eddy
Larry Fitzgerald.
Mike
No. Julio Jones.
Producer Eddy
Oh, nice.
Mike
Oh, I guess there's another. There's an X and a Y. Oh, so there. There's another wide receiver.
Kevin
Yeah, one more.
Mike
The other one makes complete sense. I would put him as probably the third greatest, and TO was on this. Kevin. So you got that one right. The other one I would put down as arguably the second or third greatest wide receiver ever. If we're putting Jerry Rice at one and we're putting Randy Moss, let's just say at two, who do you put at three? All time. Who is the third greatest wide receiver of all time in you guys minds? At least in my mind.
Kevin
Man.
Producer Eddy
T.O. is up there.
Mike
But it's not to play for one team. One team.
Kevin
Only one team.
Mike
And when you guys, when it comes to, you're gonna be like, oh, yeah, duh. He's got a cool nickname.
Kevin
Ocho Cinco.
Mike
Cooler.
Kevin
Cool.
Mike
We've had him on this show.
Producer Eddy
Oh, Calvin Johnson.
Mike
Correct.
Kevin
Oh, Megatron.
Producer Eddy
Yeah. Okay.
Mike
And Justin Jefferson is on the list.
Producer Eddy
I almost said him.
Mike
I mean, I think Jamar Chase and Justin Jefferson are kind of interchangeable. Yeah. Because they're both the most dominant wide receiver right now. But there you go, tied in.
Producer Eddy
Gronk.
Mike
Yep. Number one, Travis. Travis Kelsey. Number two. There's one more. Gronk. Kelsey.
Producer Eddy
Antonio Gates.
Kevin
No, that's a good one, though.
Mike
That is a good one.
Producer Eddy
Tony Gonzalez.
Mike
Correct. Yeah, Tony Gonzalez. And then there's a bunch of linemen.
Kevin
Okay, let's go.
Mike
But no, no, no. Name a few linemen in the last 25 years that even come to mind.
Kevin
Because it's not like Jason Kelsey.
Mike
Jason Kelsey is the only center on the list.
Producer Eddy
Tyron Smith.
Mike
Nope.
Kevin
Good guess, though. Kevin.
Producer Eddy
Logan. Mankins.
Mike
Nope. Who's the most dominant? I won't even say tackle, but I'd say lineman. He's a tackle. He has a tackle. Who's the most dominant lineman in the NFL today?
Producer Eddy
Trent Williams.
Mike
Correct. Who's the most dominant lineman of, like, the 2010s?
Producer Eddy
Richie incognito.
Mike
I say Joe Thomas is probably in that mix. Yeah, he's number one. Yeah, he's on there.
Producer Eddy
Yeah.
Mike
Zach Martin. The Cowboys made it.
Kevin
Nice.
Mike
Lane Johnson made it. Head coach is the last 25 years.
Kevin
I mean, you gotta go. Andy Reid.
Producer Eddy
Oh, stop.
Kevin
What?
Producer Eddy
25 years, not five years.
Kevin
How many coaches do we have? Just one.
Mike
One Head coach.
Kevin
Oh, it's Belichick.
Mike
It's Belichick.
Producer Eddy
Yeah.
Mike
Offensive coordinator Sean McVeigh.
Producer Eddy
No. Kyle Shanahan.
Mike
Kyle Shanahan. Correct. Hey, why did you laugh like that?
Kevin
Well, because that's hard.
Mike
Like, he nailed it. A second guess.
Kevin
Good for you, Kevin.
Mike
Defensive coordinator.
Producer Eddy
I mean, Belichick doesn't care.
Kevin
Oh. Oh.
Mike
If you get this, you even up with Kevin.
Kevin
What's his name?
Mike
Nah, you're not gonna get it.
Kevin
Then what's his name? The guy with the dimple on his chin, if you have to.
Mike
What's his name? It. You ain't getting it.
Kevin
Dimple used to be the head coach for the Texans. Alabama. Oh, you know who I'm talking about. It's not him. Oh, my gosh.
Mike
He's at Boston College now. Who you're thinking of.
Kevin
He's at Boston College.
Mike
Can you. Can you get his name?
Kevin
I'll get there.
Mike
No, no, no. Try to get it.
Kevin
Gosh, what's his name? I get him mixed up with a guy that you. Wally Zerbiak. No, no. I'm thinking of Gary Kubiak.
Mike
Did coach the Texans.
Kevin
My mind is scrambled.
Producer Eddy
Yes.
Mike
Who is the coach now? He's been on this show.
Kevin
I know he has.
Mike
Texans head coach went to his rehab stint after the coach's rehab at Alabama.
Kevin
I'll never get this.
Mike
At Boston College. Gosh.
Kevin
I'll never get this.
Mike
Kevin Sabum.
Producer Eddy
Billy O. Bill o' Brien.
Kevin
Bill o' Brien.
Mike
And defensive coordinator is Eddie.
Producer Eddy
Are you still guessing or no?
Kevin
Nah, man. Go ahead.
Producer Eddy
I. I don't know why I want to say Wade Phillips.
Mike
Correct.
Producer Eddy
Wow. Let's go, dude.
Kevin
You're good at this game.
Mike
If any of you get strength and conditioning coach.
Producer Eddy
There'S no way that's real.
Mike
Yeah, it's Dave Taub. T O U B. Dave Taub? Yeah.
Producer Eddy
From which team?
Kevin
Oh, he's played for a lot, dude.
Mike
Well, they don't list the teams.
Producer Eddy
Oh, okay.
Mike
So with Wade Phillips, he does have a Broncos hat on, and Shanahan does have a 49ers hat on, but I don't. He wasn't the coordinator in with the 49ers, was he? He got that head coach job. I don't think he, like, moved up within the 49ers organization. He was offensive coordinator with Washington, right?
Producer Eddy
Yeah.
Mike
Anyway, there was that.
Producer Eddy
Yeah, Washington, Atlanta.
Mike
Yeah. Oh, yeah, Atlanta. Because he was 28. Three, right?
Producer Eddy
Yes, he was.
Mike
Oh, that's not his fault. Because he couldn't stop the offense. He.
Producer Eddy
I mean.
Mike
And they. I mean, I don't know. I guess you could blame him. But if the head coach is like, hey, play conservative because we have such a lead.
Kevin
You gotta do what he says, right?
Producer Eddy
Yeah, absolutely. You gotta listen to that coach. But you gotta look at, you know, I got Tom Brady on the other side. What are you thinking?
Mike
Yeah, but if you're the office coordinator, you got to do what the head coach says. And if he's like, play conservative, run the clock, run the ball. You run the ball. I don't know why I'm defending him. I don't know. I don't know him. You think Kevin's trying to be a dad influencer?
Kevin
I just don't know what he's doing.
Producer Eddy
Let's go, Eddie.
Kevin
No, no, relax, Kevin. You became a dad, what, like, four weeks ago, Three weeks ago, and now you're, like, posting online like you're a dad fluencer.
Mike
Is he giving advice or what?
Kevin
Oh, man. I get on Instagram and he's there with his two babies and is like, what? He's got twins, right? So one is left arm, the other one is right arm. He's on a rocking chair and he's like, here are my tips of being a good dad. Like, what are you talking about? I don't even. Yeah, I can't even quote you because I don't remember what you said. It was such bs.
Mike
That's funny.
Producer Eddy
It was a power rankings. My top five power rankings. All new dads should know. Go check it out.
Mike
Okay. That's.
Kevin
It's dad Fluencer, man.
Mike
Is he giving advice or is he teaching you what he's learned? I think there's a difference.
Kevin
I think he is kind of trying to teach you what he's learned, but the way his presence is on the chair is like, look at me, I'm a dad. Take it from me.
Mike
Are you a Little jealous.
Producer Eddy
Yeah.
Kevin
I've been a dad for 17 years. So this guy comes to the market, it's like a rookie shows up.
Mike
But you haven't tried to be a dad influencer at all. You don't show your kids on social media.
Kevin
Correct.
Mike
Kevin's kids, the star of the show.
Producer Eddy
Yeah. I don't know, are you just hating?
Mike
I mean, jealousy right now?
Producer Eddy
And you can be featured on it if you want. The vet, you know, you can be the vet. I could be the rookie. We can make something after it if you want.
Kevin
No, I'm good. I'm good.
Producer Eddy
Okay.
Kevin
I just thought it was very brave of you to come in as a three week father, coming up with some power rankings and tips on how to be a dad.
Producer Eddy
Yeah, new dad. I was specific. This is all for new dads.
Mike
Mike. A little hater, huh? I would say a little later. A little hater right now.
Kevin
What were your, what were your tips? Do you remember?
Producer Eddy
Yeah. We actually talked about on this podcast before is get help. You lose the remote when you think you have enough diapers. You don't. And there's two more.
Mike
How's the diaper thing going, by the way?
Producer Eddy
It's good, actually. Speaking of Eddie, he got me some more diapers. So thanks, Eddie.
Kevin
No problem, dude. And let me tell you something else. Can I jump on this one too?
Mike
Yeah.
Kevin
So I asked Kevin, like, I would love to support another dad, you know, tell me what you need. Like, I know diapers are tough when you have kids, especially twins, right? So I'm like, send me a text, let me know what diapers you need. I meant size. He sends me. I even forget the name. Millie Moon luxury diapers. I'm like, what? I go to Target and dude, that's funny, dude. It goes from like, you know, affordable diapers to medium price diapers to elegant luxury diapers. And that's what he's picked.
Mike
He's going, premium gas, like, go fill up my car.
Kevin
And premium gas supreme even.
Mike
Wow.
Producer Eddy
You want to ask, man, you're going to get the answer.
Mike
But your ass wasn't give me the exact type of diapers. It's like, what size of diapers?
Kevin
Well, I mean, it was a little bit of both because some parents are like, yeah, I like Pampers, I like Huggies. That's usually. That's what I expected.
Mike
How much are those? How much are diapers in general?
Kevin
I would say middle of the line. You can do a pack of a 50, 60 diapers for 30 bucks.
Mike
And what did a pack cost of the Luxury mamma Mia moons.
Kevin
They were close to. What do you got, 45 bucks a box?
Producer Eddy
Come on, I spent 100 on.
Kevin
On you.
Producer Eddy
No, you didn't.
Kevin
Yes, I did.
Mike
Yeah, you got two. Two boxes.
Kevin
Two boxes because. Well, one for the. One for one twin and one for the other one.
Producer Eddy
You know, I'm gonna look up specifically the newborn because that's what you got. I mean, it did at Target. I'm seeing.
Kevin
I've been out of the. The diaper market for a little bit, but.
Mike
Yeah, but you're about to get back.
Kevin
In it with just my friend.
Mike
No, just for you.
Producer Eddy
Oh, you have news? No, no.
Mike
Eddie has going to need to wear them himself. Go ahead.
Producer Eddy
No, I see $30, but it doesn't have the count here I see a.
Mike
96 count for 30 bucks.
Producer Eddy
Okay, see, that's where you got me.
Kevin
Show me Pampers.
Mike
While you look at that, I'm going to read this Jason Kelce tweet. I understand. I don't take offense at all. What I'm saying is it's completely reasonable to think fct. Even though there's no test to see. I currently have cte. The evidence suggests I probably do. Just like the reality that a lot, if not most of the high level. And I think what he's saying is high level folks have it. He says he just goes on. He goes, I can virtually guarantee I have cte. All the research would suggest I have some degree of it. I think it's entirely reasonable to assume I have some degree of that pathology. And then he goes on and somebody's fighting with them. Like, how can you say that? And he's like, well, I'm saying it about me.
Producer Eddy
Right.
Kevin
He could say whatever he wants about himself.
Mike
Yeah. Because some guys, like, I'm just gonna put this out there. You know what else makes unsubstantiated claims? People suffering from some guys just arguing with them. And Kelsey interacts.
Kevin
Why would anyone argue with that? He's just talking about his experience.
Mike
What's the diaper price?
Producer Eddy
I see 30.96 pampers.
Mike
Dang. Did you do that whole little song and dance? You're wrong.
Kevin
No, I'm telling. You know how when you buy. You don't know this, but when you buy beer, they strategically have the cheapest beer on the left side and it gets, you know, same thing with the diapers. Millie Moon. It even says luxury on it. I just thought it was.
Producer Eddy
Hey, that's what my wife said. They have sensitive skin. So these millimoons are. They're awesome.
Kevin
Guarantee you. Dude, none of us wore Millie Moons. And we're good. Yeah. What's up?
Mike
Don't all babies have sensitive skin?
Kevin
Correct.
Producer Eddy
Now they have extra sensitive.
Mike
I got it. Got it. So they. Extra luxury.
Producer Eddy
Extra luxury.
Mike
Extra luxury.
Producer Eddy
Yes.
Mike
New Orleans safety Justin Reed won two Super Bowls with the Chiefs. He also kicked. Remember that?
Producer Eddy
Oh, yeah.
Mike
Now he's a two time chess champion.
Kevin
Wow. Some people are just good at everything.
Mike
Justin Reed won the Blitz Champs, a chess tournament featuring eight current and former NFL players beating Kyler Murray for a second year in a row. The tournament will give $30,000 to reach charity. He focuses on supporting disadvantaged youth and communities in Houston, Baton Rouge and Kansas City. But he won the. So if you're playing chess against other football players, how good are the football players?
Kevin
Yeah, I wouldn't. I mean, I would think everyone's kind of an amateur style.
Mike
Like, I bet you though the winner of this tournament's really good, but I bet you like the fifth guy kind of sucks. Like they probably just. His first round match, I bet was pretty weak.
Producer Eddy
It drops dramatically.
Mike
But that's pretty cool that he plays chess. We have a chessboard. My wife won't play with me. She goes, I never learned how to play chess. And I'm like, perfect.
Kevin
Yeah, she should learn.
Mike
I got like eight wins in a row then.
Kevin
Do you play?
Mike
I used to play Yahoo Chess. So that's been 20 years, but I used to play Yahoo Chess.
Kevin
Okay, and you would win all the time?
Mike
No, not all the time, but I would. You didn't win all the time because you. Your color was always your rating and you could easily go and play somebody up a different color, a way better color than you that played more. So much like golf, you kind of knew where everybody was like a handicap and you played people around you. You really didn't jump up into those. But I had a phase of a few years where I played a lot of Yahoo Chess. But no, I was never good. I never focused on it, but it was fun. Mike, do you ever play chess?
Producer Eddy
Yeah, I know how to play.
Mike
I'm not good at it, but I could play you. Do you ever Yahoo. Chess it.
Producer Eddy
No.
Mike
I figured he'd be a Yahoo Chess guy. Kevin, you ever played chess?
Producer Eddy
Yeah, yeah, of course. Been 15 years, but yeah, I know.
Kevin
How chess is fun.
Mike
What would you rather play, chess or Jenga chess?
Kevin
I'd rather play chess.
Producer Eddy
I'd go chess.
Mike
Are you better at chess than Jenga?
Kevin
I mean, I mean, I'm pretty good at Jenga, but I just enjoy chess. More, because there's more thinking. Jenga's leg. All right, Just get all the middle ones out of the way and then.
Mike
Let it fall over. I bought a Jenga board for the studio. At some point, I figure some sort of gambling opportunity will come up and we'll bet on Jenga. So I bought one like last week.
Kevin
Is it a regular size one or one of those big ones?
Mike
It's not the big one because I want to clean that up.
Kevin
That's always a pain.
Mike
Boom. And then it's everywhere. No, I bought it. I bought a normal one. But yeah, congratulations to Justin Reed. He won it. And 30,000 bucks goes to his charity, which is super cool.

Kevin Durant's been traded to the Rockets the Rockets sent out Jalen Green, Dylan Brooks, the number 10 pick in this year's draft and five second round picks for the Suns. So.
Kevin
Did they announce that at Fanatics.
Mike
Fest is that he was on stage when it happened? Yeah, not because he was on stage, but it happened while he was on stage. I think he knew it was coming or right about. But they're like Kevin Durant finds out he was traded on stage at Fanatics Fest. He probably had an idea.
Producer Eddy
Yeah, he didn't look surprised.
Mike
Yeah, that it was getting pretty close.
Kevin
The reaction was cool though.
Producer Eddy
Yeah.
Mike
What do you think Durant averaged last year?
Kevin
23?
Mike
26.6 points per game. He shot over 50% of the field, 43% from three. The Rockets were just middle offensively last year, 12th. And so Durant's going to add spacing and scoring. He doesn't have to have the ball, which is great. But like Sengun's awesome. Yeah, yeah, he's a beast and so that helps a guy like Sengun. Fred Van Vliet is staying on the team. I don't know. Jalen Green's awesome.
Producer Eddy
Yeah, he's really good.
Mike
Or at least he's young. I would say inconsistent, but when he is playing well, he's awesome. But he is a volume scorer so he gets the he shoots a lot. Dylan Brooks got traded I just think of Dylan Brooks as being the guy that just mouthed LeBron the whole time. Yeah, that's literally what I know him for. Apparently he's a really good defensive player, but yeah, so it'll be interesting to see what happens. Durant has an expiring deal. He's due over 50 million bucks next season. There are reports he'll want an extension, but I think that Houston team competes and they just gave it okap new contract.
Kevin
Yeah, if this team was in the East, I feel like they would be pretty legit. But this west is still pretty competitive, I would say.
Mike
Right?
Commercial Voice
I mean, you got.
Kevin
Okay, K.C. you got. The warriors will still be relevant.
Mike
I mean, but if you're Houston, you can't just sit with a team that's pretty good and just allow them to sit and all the contracts to expire.
Kevin
You got to swing for the.
Mike
Like, you got to make a run.
Kevin
Yeah.
Mike
So they. Houston pretty much gave all those upside guys up for reliability. I was just surprised that Kevin Durant still averaged almost 30 points a game. Being 30. How old is he? 37. 30. Yeah.
Kevin
Turns 37 in September.
Mike
Wait, say, Mike. He's 36. Okay. That's crazy. He's 36 and still. Still that good. I mean, look at LeBron. He's 40, and I think he was second team all NBA.
Kevin
That's amazing.
Mike
That's crazy. So, yeah, big move this weekend. Kind of funny it didn't happen until after the Finals, though. You would think it wanted its own minute.
Producer Eddy
Yeah, that's what I was wondering. And then was it. Was it Sunday, same day as the Game seven?
Mike
Yeah.
Producer Eddy
Right. So it's just kind of funny. OKC wins the title on the same day, he gets traded for, like, the sixth time in the last six years.
Mike
Well, he has been on a lot of teams, huh?
Producer Eddy
Lot.
Mike
And he. I mean, he's one of the top 15 players of all time.
Producer Eddy
Yeah.
Mike
The fact that he's 36, 37, is still that good. That's pretty crazy. He tore his Achilles at one point.
Producer Eddy
Yeah. 19.
Mike
Missed a whole year. It sucks for guys like Tatum and Halliburton, like, just coming into their own teams. The teams were just coming into their own. I mean, the Celtics won the championship. Dude, that sucks so bad.
Producer Eddy
Thanks.
Mike
It's almost like they have the word Arkansas written on their jersey somewhere.
Justin Reed
That's true.
Producer Eddy
It's a little patch.
Mike
Yeah. That's what you would think.
Producer Eddy
He played for Arkansas.
Mike
Yeah. You would think that. There's somewhere on his body the word Arkansas was written. I've been trying to convince myself not to buy this Arkansas leather jacket.
Kevin
Okay? Dude, I don't even know what it looks like. And you buy that?
Mike
I don't even buy. I don't even wear leather. But I took a picture of this jacket because I was like, if I was ever gonna have a leather jacket, it'd be this jacket.
Kevin
Is it red?
Mike
No, it's black. Dude. It's. It's. I'm gonna show it to you, and I want you guys to convince me that I should or shouldn't buy this jacket because I don't wear leather. I'm not against leather.
Producer Eddy
Mm, right. It's just not your thing.
Mike
Like, also, when would I wear. I don't even wear jackets, really. Okay, here we go. Can you guys. I don't know if you can see this thing.
Kevin
Oh, hey, that's nice.
Mike
Come on.
Kevin
Shiny.
Mike
Come on.
Kevin
It's so shiny, dude.
Producer Eddy
It's. It's awesome.
Mike
I mean, if they're closer. Look.
Producer Eddy
Oh, you're gonna walk in a room, and people are gonna notice it, and they're gonna know.
Kevin
They're gonna know you're a fan.
Producer Eddy
Yeah.
Mike
Look at the sleeves. Red with black stripe.
Producer Eddy
That's sick.
Kevin
That's legit, dude.
Producer Eddy
That is sick.
Mike
You. You guys just want me to get this? Look foolish.
Kevin
There. There's one person this Earth that should have that jacket, and we're sitting in the same room.
Mike
Look at the back of it, though. It says Arkansas, like, in big red letters.
Kevin
Let's see.
Mike
And it's like a big hog on the back. Black. It's black with a red hog on it. All leather.
Producer Eddy
That's pretty cool. Yeah. That's sweet.
Kevin
I feel like that's you, man. That's got. That's. That's you. That's your style.
Mike
I only wear leather, so I put.
Producer Eddy
I bought one last year, the Patriots throwback one. That's freaking awesome.
Mike
The leather.
Producer Eddy
And it's leather, and I don't wear leather either. I've worn it one, and I really could do what? I'm like, it's just out of my comfort zone. Yeah.
Kevin
Do you like having it?
Mike
Yeah.
Producer Eddy
And I'm ready for next football season because I'm gonna wear it one more time. Again. For sure.
Kevin
One more time. Try two this time.
Producer Eddy
Okay. Okay.
Kevin
Two this year. Where are you leaning?
Mike
I don't even think that I should wear it. I should just have it.
Producer Eddy
Yeah. Yeah. It's cool to look at in your closet.
Mike
You guys are bad influences. I'm ask my wife today, be like, should I buy this? And I bet you she goes, no. Why would you?
Kevin
Because you were born to wear that jacket. You remember that scene in Rudy where his best friend, before he dies, gives him the jacket, says, you were born to wear that jacket. That's how I feel about that one.
Producer Eddy
This is for Rudy, coach.
Kevin
He lays the jacket down, man.
Mike
It does look cool.
Producer Eddy
Go to your wife. This is for Bobby.
Kevin
Hey, what's the damage on that one?
Mike
I'd rather not say.
Kevin
Okay. That's all you have to say. And 100. That's your jacket.
Mike
It.
Kevin
You need it.
Mike
I'm buying it now. Buying it now.
Kevin
Where's that button? That was easy.
Mike
I double clicked it. I double clicked it. I'm buying it. Come on, Apple pay. That means coming right to my house. There you go. Processing. Order confirmed. Nice. There we are. There we are. When.
Kevin
When can we expect to see you in that jacket?
Mike
Whenever it gets here. Immediately.
Kevin
All right.
Mike
Wow.
Kevin
Dang.
Mike
I'm so happy I did that. I'm just gonna wear it and not tell my wife I bought it and see what she says.
Producer Eddy
There you go.
Kevin
Yeah.
Mike
Smart. She's okay. We're done. Thank you guys for being here. We will see you later on this week. We should have the head coach of Virginia Tech football on Friday's episode, which would be pretty cool. So thank you, guys. Eddie, blow the whistle. A Thunder.
Kevin

What do they say?
Kevin
I'm a genius?
Mike
No. What are the Thunder. Thunder up.
Kevin

Mike
Thunder up.

Mike
Congrats to Thunder. Congrats to Eddie. Congrats to me. I got a big fancy dinner now. I got to find the most expensive place in town. I do whatever I want. Dr. Josie.
