Yes.

So Steph Curry, uh, you can ask anybody that's in the top 10 that's currently playing today, LeBron and all those guys, if Steph Curry's the top 10 player of all time, and they will put him in the top 10.

Because I- how can you, how can you...

Maybe the defense isn't there, obviously.

Steph is better than Dream?

I, I think if you're gonna put my, I'm talking about top 10 players of all time and what Steph has been able to do, the rings that he's won and whatnot.

I know, I know Hakeem's got his two rings.

I know he's an MV- I know all those things.

But can you talk a little bit about that? Like, does it do you think it takes time to find your own voice?

It does.

Like you said, in comedy, and since I'm new at comedy, I'm trying to find my voice in comedy because I vacillate between being professional Mike and just that street dude, crazy Mike.

So I'm still trying to figure that out.

But in sports, absolutely.

I tell broadcasters all the time, don't try to be anybody else.

There's one thing that's unique about you is that nobody is like you.

What are your thoughts on the overall state of sports media? Do you think it's become too hot take-based, and is that the audience's fault?

Yeah, absolutely.

So he's supposed to be on vacation, not working, but he still is.

ChatGPT can do more than answer questions.

It can help you get real work done.

ChatGPT Work is built for bigger projects with multiple steps.

You bring the goal, along with the information it needs, like briefs, notes, files, feedback, calendars, data sets, or project plans.

Then ChatGPT can help turn all of that into something useful, an analysis, a tracker, a deck outline, a prototype, or a workflow you can keep shaping.

It can also use approved apps, connected tools, files, and browser context to help move the work forward.

Mm-hmm.

We've seen that in the NFL, we've seen that in college football.

They're not loyal.

They're not loyal to the players, so why should you really be loyal to them? So, yeah, I agree with you.

He stinks, but he's the type of stink that if you're...

You have a college football team, or if you have an NFL team or a team that he can coach, you would want him to coach that team, because he's going to do whatever it takes, even if it means bending the rules a little bit.

Maybe not breaking them, but bending the rules a little bit, he's gonna do whatever it takes to win football games.

Yep.

Yeah

... to make n- names for themselves and trying to get more publicity, the Royce Whites of the world or the Enes Kanters of the world, just trying to stay relevant, saying stupid stuff to make a point.

These women are hooping right now, but we are talking more so about... that aren't going to happen just because there is somebody out there that's trying to politicize something.

And it stems from, you know, obviously the Caitlin Clark and the Dijonai Carringtons of the world and whatnot, and all the people who are for and against the Caitlin Clarks, uh, franch- uh, people out there.

Uh, a- a- a- and it's making it hard to watch because we're not watching the actual sport.

So these Royce Whites of the world, the Enes Kanters, please go away and hide.

We haven't heard from you guys in a long time.

Right

Talk about players to watch this week.

For us, yeah, I mean, there's the, there's the, the, you know, I guess the quote unquote "Bash Brothers" are four of them, you know, between Nick Pappas, Andy Martinez, Jared Berardino, and Brendan Sensey.

But we're, we're, we're so much more than that.

You know, the leadoff guy, Bolton, is a complete pain-in-the-butt leadoff hitter that just makes pitchers lives mis- you know, hell.

Uh, the sixth hitter, Heath, can, can do a lot of things, bang doubles, and I think he led the conference in sack bunts.

And then, you know, seven, eight, and nine is, is, is Maydak.

You know, Goonan, our catcher, is our lifeblood.

You have any standards for the program?

young Spurs

were in that first game.

I also saw Nick's team that on offense did not do the things that they have become accustomed to over the last 13 games that moved that ball so well.

I saw Jalen Brunson dribbling the ball for 18 seconds and then trying to get a shot off over two defenders, trying to create some of this stuff.

I saw Jalen Brunson.

I put game three, and I love Jalen, don't get me wrong, He is not having the series that he needs to have to try and lead his team to its first championship in over 50 years.

I saw Jalen Brunson, in my mind, seeming like, okay, I have not had the first two games.

And like you said,

Being a Knicks fan, what did you see different from the Knicks in the previous 13 games to what they showed up with in Game 3 of the Finals?

I saw a totally different team, man.

It seemed like in the beginning, and I know the Spurs have thrown the first punch in the first couple of games of the series, first two games of the series, and the Knicks were able to come back.

I saw a Knicks team that felt like they could do the same thing in Game 3.

I saw a Knicks team... that seemed like they were more overwhelmed by the hype in the crowd than the young Spurs were in that first game.

I also saw a Knicks team that on offense did not do the things that they have become accustomed to over the last 13 games that moved that ball so well.

I saw Jalen Brunson dribbling the ball for 18 seconds and then trying to get a shot off over two defenders, trying to create some of this stuff.

But evidently, what happened with Hamlin? And he's not on the poll anymore.

Well, apparently my wife is the smart woman in NASCAR.

Because the first thing she told me this morning, you know, Danny Hamlin's not starting on the pole.

Once I told her, I said, well, Larson's gone.

I said, who do I need to pick? And she says, well, Danny was on the pole, but he's not now.

And I said, do what? She said, yeah, they sent him to the rear for repairs after he apparently crashed and they fixed it and he qualified and they wanted to fix it again and After they fixed it again, they told him that he would have to go to the rear, so he's starting in the rear, which probably won't hurt up there.

Michigan's a big, wide racetrack, and it won't matter up there like it would if you were starting in the rear someplace that would blow up brake rotors like you do at Nashville and leave them laying on the track for a restart and take out my man Larson, who I was hoping was going to make me some points last week.

rotor

How do you feel about that, Mike?

I have no problem with that as long as it's not affecting them on the court.

You know, you guys have a life, man.

I hate when people think that you're just basketball players.

I hate when the public will get mad when somebody says just shut up and dribble when it comes to politics.

But the same people that criticize Jalen Brown or Draymond Green or whatever for having a podcast are the same ones when it's political season and somebody they don't like is in office, is doing something wrong, and they don't speak out about it.

But you just want them to play basketball.

As you look

My daughter, like all children, has a good imagination, but there's nothing in her life experience that can imagine talking about other men doing things to her.

They go off into fantasy land and start talking about flying on elephants.

Victoria University sociologist Professor Mike Hill has studied the transcripts of the children in this case, but he's also looked at other international cases where there are unfounded claims of ritual abuse.

Children oft- often follow a pattern.

In, in the first interviews they will often deny anything happened.

So they, they'll say, "No, it, it, it didn't.

He didn't abuse me.

He didn't do any of that." And then they get to a middle section where they start saying things about poos and wees, which is what happened in, in, in the Christchurch case.
