Utah Jazz vs Washington Wizards Live Stream | Hoops Nerd Show

All right, let’s go. All right, Elijah Harkless Steel. H guys, I wanted to watch Ace Bailey so badly. I don’t think he’s going to play the rest of the summer league. It feels like And welcome to the YouTube people. Look, here goes Cody. Okay, Cody. That was nice. How about Cody Williams earn uh summer league MVP tonight? 50 piece coming. We’re all doing great. We all wanted to watch uh Ace Bailey though, but I don’t that’s not feeling like it’s going to happen. Get in there. Ah, AJ Johnson’s playing. Good question. Let’s see. Uh, actually, I’m looking at the thing here. There’s a player on the Wii the Wizards called Leaky Black. He’s playing. I do not see Trey Johnson. I wonder if he’s not playing because he I would imagine he’d be starting. All right, here we go, guys. I have to say I’m really bummed that there’s no Ace Bailey. It almost feels like the Jazz just want to They’re tanking the summer league so they don’t have to keep playing. Come on, Jazz. Come on, dude. Can you guys believe Bradley Beal is going to the Clippers? Good job, Senogo. This is and I think the Jazz play on Friday. Cody, come on. Ah, Chicago on Friday. That’s right. Hey, MCU. I bought a car from that place. Pick it up on Friday. E to truth. Let’s go, Jazz. Welcome, E. Nice steal by Collier. This is the most Yeah, I think it was good price. I was happy with it. By the way, guys, if you’re going to buy an EV, this whole EV credits going away. Uh I’m not going to get political, but uh it’s disappointing. So, I still get that EV credit. If you’re going to buy an electric car, you better do it soon. It’s actually some I think literally like next month. So, merry Christmas to everyone. But anyways, that’s gone. Uh I got I am taking advantage though. So, $4,000, baby. And basically what people do is they’ll like go get like a a Chevy Bolt like I’m getting or something like that that qualifies and basically you can use the ED credit as your down payment. It’s freaking awesome. Um it’s pretty darn successful program. But uh no more no more. That’s right. Just pour that stuff right into the side. I do not I’m not I’ve uh by the way I’m not reading names anymore because I had that one night I read the name and I was like son of a gun. So, I’m not reading your name out loud. Oh, come on. He fell down. Watch this, guys. Watch this. Select a reason. No reason. Oh, banned. Oh, I feel so good to ban somebody today. You sir banned. I don’t know. That wasn’t the biggest effort there. Is this game the most go through the motions game you’ve ever seen? H See, look at how well Williams drives. That is where his game is right now. And that was nice. That was nice. I think the driving game for Cody Williams is legit. Look, who who says build around ace when you’ve got Cody Williams? Look at that steel. Cody Williams. Cody’s having a game, guys. Let’s see. Uh, Cody Williams, three for five. A steal. But anyways, I’m excited to get my new EV car. I’m very excited. It’s a 2022. Yep. And it’s the EUV, not the EV. Uh I think how much was it? I think it ended up being um I’ll have to tell you next time. Ask me next time, but I I can’t I’m not completely sure. I think it’s going to end up coming around 17. It might be less. Uh but I think that will be after EV credit, but we shall see. I’ll let you know. Uh D Allen not on Jazz Plus. Tyler John, sorry my dude. Uh Tyler Johnson, cutting and driving is the name of the game for Cody. Yeah, for that’s one thing he’s doing really well, guys, is he’s driving to the basket. Like he’s cutting and like Tyler says, he’s driving. And that driving, speaking of cars, Cody Williams is driving through the lane like a brand new 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV is what it’s like. But anyways, yeah. Yeah, guys, if you’re thinking about buying a car, an electric one, then used EV credit expires soon, so might be time to do it sooner than later. Arlas dinner tonight was a hot pocket and a buffalo roller. I had to go refill my drink. Uh, also I saved my calories today though. Chin’s looking a little less choa, so that’s good. We’re trying to reduce the chubby chin here. Hey, look at him drive. Look at him use his body there. That was nice. I know he missed the shot, but that’s him using his body. Did we see Cody Williams use his body like that last year? I don’t think so. AJ Johnson, they got him in that trade. I can’t remember for who was involved, but AJ Johnson was like a throwin and Washington got him. That was crazy. What is up, Ed Wins? What is up? Thank shout out to all the YouTube people. You guys are baller. Dre, are you jumping in here with me? I just hope he can become Jaylen McDaniels. I think I think Cody’s a project. And if he doesn’t become anything, it’s kind of like whatever. But we’re seeing him drive. We’re seeing him do some things we didn’t see last year. The three-point shot has to get better, though. Oh, okay. But here, watch this. Look at this. He’s getting by his man. I missed the layup, but he’s getting by his man. That’s something. Honestly, I’ve been pretty impressed. It’s so funny. That’s the one he misses, but he’s been finishing at a pretty good rate, too. I think you get it when you buy it. I think it’s like put into the cost like the total of the car. Yeah, man. AJ Johnson, that’s at least what that autobond told me that it’s ending soon. So, like end of August or something like that. Oh, did you really? You’re awesome. What did he say? Oh, cool. I will I That’s awesome, Mick Tu. are awesome. It’s been a crazy week for me at the day job. Things are fine. I’m fine, but uh it’s been a rough day. I’ll just say Oh, that’s great. I appreciate it. Today was one of those days where I was a little like I’m not sure I’m like up for doing it, but you know what? This feels good. I’m gonna just always be doing these. Uh Edwins, what else are you streaming on? Uh, we’re on the YouTube and on the playback. So, you can go to playback. What is it? playback.tvslcdunk. Or if you go to playback.tv and you search SLC Dunk, that’s where I’m streaming. Look how quick AJ Johnson is. He That was kind of a steal for them. He might be something. Uh, what’s the miles per gallon on it? Well, it’s electric, my dude. So, it’s it’s like 250 to 300 miles of uh distance. So, we’re tucked in charge basically. That’s awesome, M too. I appreciate it. Yeah. 2022 Chevy Bolt. Honestly, it’s kind of a bucket list for me. I’m not going to lie. This is kind of something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. So, kind of a big deal for me. I have to on Friday I’m having an electrician come out and put an outlet on my house. I’m excited. I’m I Oh, 100%. We got reup. So SLC Dunk I’ll just a little behind the scenes. Uh we get like a little I get like a little tiny something for doing these. It’s not a lot at all, but it’s a little something. So I have incentive to do these. I’m gonna do it every game. So, I don’t think I get them right now, though. Um, now it’s just I kind of like doing it on playback because I know you guys really enjoy it. It allows some people to watch the game. Uh, but I also can simoc cast to YouTube, so it kind of makes it easy to I don’t know. And I think if we make money on it, I make a little bit. I got to talk to Harrison about that though. Like Harrison, what is up? Yeah, I’m so excited. M too. They’re like I truly It’s not like a Tesla or a Rivian where it’s like 0 to 60 in like 3 seconds. Um, it’s 0 to 60 in like seven. So, it’s just like a standard car. You’d be surprised though. I guess the EUV has some pretty cool like features for a pretty cheap electric car. I think it’s like honestly the cheapest electric car out there next to like the the Leaf and the I think there I think the Leaf is one of the cheapest ones. Um but I don’t like Nissan. I I had a Nissan and hate it and so I’ve enjoyed my Right now I drive a Ford Focus and Yeah. Isn’t there it’s called like Isn’t it called like single pedal driving or something like that where like with electric cars it’s different than gas because you can do single pedal driving where you drive but when you let off the gas it kind of breaks on its own. Uh hey is this the first time I’ve ever been able to chat? What’s up? Yes Zachary. I took those off but I want to make sure that the members are not offended. So if the members who paid before to be on the chat are offended. We’ll see. I’m just kind of testing it out. I don’t know if that saves on battery though, you know, if you use single pedal driving. I was watching a video on it today actually like Oh, I think that was Austin H. But uh Oh, there’s uh that looked like uh Joe Mazoula, but I think Joe Mazula’s brother is on the jazz. It might have been his brother, actually. Anyways, um what was I talking about? Oh, it has like this feature on the bolt that tells you like what the things are that are drawing from your battery and like breaks it down. And it also like tells you like your style of driving is drawing your battery more or less type thing. That was nice by Collier. Nice take. Look at those yellow shoes. They make him look faster to me. By the way, guys, I am pretty sure the Jazz are in full uniforms this season. I have to say this season is pretty exciting because we get Ace Bailey. I It sucks that we didn’t get to watch him more than twice. Little did we know in Salt Lake that was it for Ace Bailey. Maybe we’ll get him on Friday. I don’t know. But uh we get new uniforms. I actually think my favorite new uniform is the white. What do you guys I think the white uniform is so slick. Like I don’t always think the white uniform is the best one, but I think for Utah it is. And that’s saying something because I feel like I feel like the black and purple are good. I actually am not as in love with the jerseys as some are. Like I think they’re like an A minus in my opinion. I like them. Um I like them a lot. I’d say I don’t know if I love them, but I really like them. I do really like What is this, dude? Oh, never mind. Uh but I think the white ones I do love those. I think they look super good. Who was that? Number 60, whoever that is. I wish I don’t have synergy. I wish I had some of these things because I wouldn’t be surprised if Cody’s finish rate at the rim is pretty good. Collier, I would love to see what his finish what right now. I don’t know if you can take much from this game though. We got Isaiah Collier getting to the basket at will. Yeah, Jace, I am just I don’t know. We talked about this last time and I don’t know if I talked about in the postgame or not. I think I did. I just don’t know if when I watch Isaiah Collier shoot, I don’t see a lot of balance in his legs, right? Like that’s what makes Donovan Mitchell such an incredible shooter is just when you watch him shoot, he gets such incredible balance with how fast he is. Like Donovan Mitchell is an incredible athlete. It’s crazy. Um I do think that’s part of why he gets injured a little bit is he puts so much torque on those legs into his balance and then he goes like straight up perfect form. It’s crazy. It’s Donov Mitchell’s crazy. Uh, when I see Isaiah Cer, I don’t see that same balance. He’s super fast, super strong, but that base just doesn’t look great to me. And I don’t know if that’s something he can learn. I don’t know. I’m not super hopeful, I would say. Now, that’s why, and you know, Cody Williams might not turn into anything. He might just be a complete bust, whatever. But when I see him shoot, you see like you see a good base. You see like you see like good what is it? Form and balance. He just doesn’t make it. Uh but it looks better to me. Would you take Peterson with the top pick next year? Good question. I mean, the copout is I want to watch them play all of next year, you know? I think I think the Jazz need a superstar ball in his hand guy right now. And I think that you probably have a hard time passing on I I’m assuming that Ace Bailey is going to be really good. And so I would say Peterson right now if I had to choose today. Yeah, just take Peterson and you know you’ve got a star with the ball in his hands. Then you’ve got Ace Bailey at the three. You’ve got Walter Clayton off of him. I’m assuming Walter Clayton is turning into a star as well because I’m being optimistic. But anyways, I uh I think it would be so tempting to just take Darren Peters. He’s so good, guys. He’s so good. Um, at the same time, Cam Boozer and AJ Debonsa are two-way players that bring not just incredible potential and scoring from the wing, but also like AJ brings defense on the wing and Cam Boozer brings defense at the 34, you know. So honestly the re the the the correct answer is we just need to watch them play another year of college and get some more data and you know you really can’t go wrong. You get one of those three guys you’re happy like if Utah just gets a top three pick next year. I mean I guess that’s what we said this year. Well, guess what? We said that this year and we got a top three guy in Ace Bailey. So, just a reminder, man. AJ Johnson is nice. I just think I truly feel like if you just get a top three I mean I think that’s what always happens guys is by the end of next year like I don’t think any I think Dylan Harper going into the season last year was like slated like I remember looking at mocks and things he was like fifth right and obviously kind of it became a consensus like Cooper flag Dylan Harper and then it that’s when the draft kind of started The same thing will happen this year. We’ll see Kamboozer at at Duke. Although there are times where like the Orlando Magic, can you guys hear me? I didn’t have my good mic plugged in. What the heck? You guys have been listening to me through webcam. Now, how does it sound? Let’s see here. I like noticed my mic wasn’t plugged in. I was like, “What the heck?” Okay, it should be better sound. How does it sound? It should be better. I was using my webcam mic there, guys. Sorry, I forgot to plug in my my shore microphone. Yeah, that’s what I was saying, Jace, is like everyone who I mean, I included was so distraught at the draft and then things kind of worked out. We still got a top three caliber pick. The tank worked. Now, if Ace Bailey doesn’t pan out, that’s a whole other story. But the reason you tank is to get a top pick in the draft, right? that it’s a bad miss because I think this AJ uh this AJ Johnson or whatever his name is looks really good. Yeah, that was And I tell you what, guys, I have to say I got some people so mad at me for my Lowry Markin and stuff. And I’m just telling you from things I’ve heard, like don’t be surprised, but that’s okay. Well, there’s just And you know, so here’s the thing is, and I talked about in my last video, if people if you guys didn’t watch it, that’s totally fine. And if I make people mad, it is what it is. I’ve made Greg Miller mad. Greg Miller used to DM Amar after stuff we wrote and and yell. We’ve gotten phone calls from like Steve Starks and stuff like that. Like, okay, calm down. We’re just writing about it. Okay, dude. Um, but anyways, uh, sometimes when you write for SLC Dunk, you forget there is a little bit of like they all read it. It’s crazy. I have some funny stories, too. Like, like Trey Burke’s dad. Uh, I don’t think I can share that one. Amara Omar. Oh my gosh. I guess like here’s what I would say, guys. And someone uh I I don’t think I think Doc Rivers is I guess I just say I’m glad Doc Rivers isn’t our coach, but I think he’s I think he’s a little actually underrated. I think he’s one of the to me Doc Rivers is like the Ricky Rubio of coaches or like the Rudy Gobear of coaches. He like raises your floor, but he can also get like out coached by the top players. It’s like Rudy Gobar. Rudy Gobear like raises your floor as a team. you are going to make the playoffs, but once playoff time playoff time comes, his flaws start to show a little more. Teams don’t guard him near the basket. Uh things like that. Uh still good, still does fine in the playoffs, but probably not the like over-the-top special coach, you know? Yeah, we haven’t heard anything about Kevin Love. I also think guys, by the way, we have passed the date for when an extension for Walker Kesler could happen, which I think is a little bit interesting. He sent a picture to Amar on accident. I’m not going to say what it was. Do not share that. Oh, Mar is the funniest guy, too. I miss Amar so much. He like doesn’t He like went off the grid basically. Like after he left SLC Dunk, he was like, “I’m out.” But I still text him here and there. Uh can neither neither confirm nor deny. Uh, I just I just Here’s my thing with the Larry Mark and getting back on track here. Um, don’t share that because well, I don’t know. Yeah, that’s right. I don’t know. Shout out to Trey Burke. I wish him well. Uh, I was actually, this what sucks is I was excited when we drafted Trey Burke. Um, I think we all were a little bit and then he didn’t turn out how we thought. There’s our guy. The Jazz are keeping their ace up their sleeve. Why? I don’t know why. Look, it’s Bobby Marks. This is fun. Oh jeez. Is he okay? Ah, that was not that looked not good. Dang, that looked not fun. Oh. Oh. Oh, wasn’t that bad, but it still probably hurt. What was I talking about? Oh, Larry Markin. I I do think it’s interesting. So, here’s something I heard from a very reputable source. Uh, I do think part of the reason Jazz traded John Collins is because he did make them better. And I do think John Collins had more of a winning impact than Lowry Markin did, guys. I think I mean, is is that a hot take? Uh, he was good last year. I mean, for a lot of the season Well, and the thing it’s funny is like here’s a question. In fact, maybe I should make a video about this. We Would you rather have John Collins at 26 million playing Power Forward or Lowry Markin at 46 million at Power Forward? You know what I mean? The money matters. Uh, and people got mad at me because I was just talking about market. Markin shot 34% from three last year. And I mean there’s just if you’re going to pay someone $46 million max money that’s like like if the Jazz wanted to trade for for LeBron James those salaries match. Markin is in that range. So you should expect your player who is being paid at that range to perform at that level right and he just didn’t. And you know, we’re happy that he didn’t because it helped us get Ace Bailey, but uh it’s just kind of a disappointment. And so now Utah has this $46 million contract on the books for a player that’s pretty good that But anyways, what I want to say is that like yes, you might have to keep Lowry Markin. There might not be a trade there. It takes two to make a trade. It’s a lot. Those are large contracts and the teams that want him may not may not um may not have the capability to do it. Like if you go just go to the NBA trade machine and go try to trade Larry Markin just go around. It’s hard. There are just it’s just hard to do. Even if the Jazz want to and I think that they lean towards yes wanting to, it’s still hard to do. It takes two to trade and you’ve got to make sure that what you get back fits your long-term goals. So, it’s just really tough. And yeah, he’s like an underwhelming rebounder. You’re right, Magnus. Like John Collins last year was like for most of the season, I did an article on SLC Dunk. I don’t know if we talked about on the channel. I’m sure I mentioned it. He was like one of for a good chunk of the season was the only 50 40 90 player in the entire NBA. That includes like Kevin Durant. That included like Jokic. Although Joic was crazy. Joic is like 60 38 90. So it doesn’t Joic is freaking annoying how good he is. Tyler Johnson, thoughts on pairing flip with Hrix in the front court, letting Hendrickx play center on defense and flip bait play center on offense. I love the idea of playing Hrix at center. That is to me, uh, they don’t want you to hear him say something. They know because there’s there’s YouTubers out there, Brent, that do lip reading stuff. Like, have you seen that guy Legends on Twitter? He does like lip reading stuff and cuz like sometimes they’ll get burned. Like do you guys remember that video of Jaylen Brown talking about Bronny and he’s like talking to his girlfriend or whoever it was saying like I don’t think I don’t think he’s an NBA player and uh they don’t want stuff like that to happen. So Yep. Exactly. RNF. And I don’t think it’s always like I hate Utah like which Jazz fans are probably worried about. I think sometimes it’s just like they might be talking about another guy and they don’t want it to get around. Like if they’re talking about LeBron, they don’t want someone to read their lips and like that guy said LeBron sucks and then it’s like all over Twitter and I it’s kind of I think that’s basically Yeah, I don’t know. I think that’s basically why. Anyways, back to Hrix. I love the idea of Hendrickx at center. I love that he’s gotten bigger. I do per I have my own personal little theory that to win an NBA championship, you have to have a center that can both protect the rim and shoot threes. If you go look at all the teams that have won titles, they’ve had players that you can do that with. Like the Thunder have Chad Homegrren. It’s why they paid him big money because it’s a it’s I think it’s been basically coined the unicorn. You need a unicorn. It’s the player that can protect the rim on defense and is a high level defender and is also a highlevel three-point shooter on the other end because then on defense they they are a cornerstone on defense and then on off. Look at Cody’s defense. That was nice. He just shut that down. That was rough. Jeez. Ah, our dudes are getting hurt. But hey, did you guys see Cody Williams shut that drive down? That was awesome. Anyway, so yeah, that’s why I love the idea of Hendrickx at center. I think he’s like I was looking at it like or let’s just Google it right now. Taylor Hendris height combine. Okay. So, at the combine, Taylor Hendris without shoes measured 68.25. Now, I want to see uh that is a fun name. It’s a unique name. Uh let’s look at BAM at aabio combine measurements. Oh my gosh, look at this. Bam. Adabio measured 68.75. Taylor Hendrickx is 68.25. Does anyone give Bam Adabio a hard time for playing center? No. I think if Cody is or not Cody, if Taylor Hendrickx is strong enough, I think you would absolutely consider him at center and maybe long term. I don’t know. Uh, how many roster spots are available for all these summer league Jazz players? I don’t think a lot, Brent. I think uh I’m pretty sure, yeah, not it may be like one, but I think both of our two-way contracts are filled. Utah Jazz team payroll 2526. Uh 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. Yeah. 161 17 and then RJ Lewis. Yeah, we’re full. I think it’s like zero. Uh so anyways, pairing Philippowski, I do think that the Jazz are the thing we got to remember Philipowski is defense. And Philipowski has not proven he’s a good defender yet. And so if you’re not, then you’re probably coming off the bench. Um, the way I kind of look at it is like we have core pieces. Oh, nice. Nice take. There’s AJ Johnson. I like that kid. I think he’s good. Is that Harkas? Harkas apparently is one of the best at taking charges in all of summer league. perhaps the NBA. I I think with bench units, you could pair Philippowski with Hendrickx for sure. I don’t know if I like the idea of starting Filipowski. I think a little bit of what we’re seeing with summer league is you can’t argue that it’s not good. Like what Philipski is doing is good. I think he gets a little bit magnified because it’s summer league. Because look at like for example look at this Wizards team. Do they even have a center on the on the floor? Philipowski would just like crush this team. You know what I mean? I don’t know if that really tells you a lot if Philipowski is scoring on 6’4 guys, you know? I don’t know. So everything we are seeing even with Cody Williams, grain of salt basically. Who’s Ab Miss Kier just massively missed the easiest way? Yeah. When in doubt, dunk the ball. If I could dunk the ball, I dunk the ball every freaking time. That was a nice take on Collier. No. Uh, let’s see. I appreciate you, Jace. The unbiased and truthful take. It is what it is. That’s where I come from. SLC dunk. It’s why uh John Reinhardt and and Greg Miller uh banned us from the locker room. We were in the locker room. That’s why they banned us because we told the truth. Sorry. Sometimes the truth hurts, but the truth is the truth. And let’s see. AJ will be the pick. Maybe if he’s the best. It depends on, this is a lame answer, but it depends on where the Jazz are in the draft and if they feel as if he is the best option at the pick they are at. The I think what I love about the pick for Ace Bailey this year and what I love about what the Jazz are doing, I really would love there’s like two narratives I would love for Jazz fans and just the Jazz front office who I think has gotten rid of it in general. You don’t just sign players or pick players because they’re happy to be in Utah. That’s stupid. Like that’s just not something you should consider more than a little bit. I guess if there’s like a little situation where like I guess you can consider it in certain situations, but it’s not why you give guys contracts. It’s not why you keep guys on the team. It’s not why you draft guys. What you do is you draft the best players available. cuz last time I checked, the US dollar is just as valuable in Utah as it is in LA. Last time I checked, uh, and what I love is that the U, the Utah Jazz drafted Ace Bailey. They said, “It’s tough. We’re an NBA team. We are allowed to draft who we want.” And they did it. And guess what? Turned out fine. Ace Bailey looks perfectly fine. And here’s another thing is like it’s not like Ace Bailey is going to spend all his time in Utah. Like right now he’s in Las Vegas. No one’s even in Utah. And after Las Vegas summer league, I’m sure that he will go and spend a week or two with family or something like that. And then 3 weeks into August, he’ll move to Salt Lake, get an apartment, and yeah, he’ll live in Salt Lake for like And it’s fine. Salt Lake’s fine. What’s wrong with Salt Lake compared to Is Salt Lake much different than living in Milwaukee or Cleveland or you know what I mean? Or Oklahoma City. Why is Utah any different? We’re just like them. Yes, there’s some stigmas with with Utah, but once you come Yeah, that’s true. But like, so I don’t know. There’s not that many more in certain places, but like I don’t know. It’s It is what it is. I I don’t know. I don’t know what to say on that. I just saying like come here. It’s nice. All the players that have come here have truly honestly enjoyed it. That’s one of the things too. And there’s a stigma about Utah, but you come here and they end up h being fine. Some of them don’t like it, but I don’t know. Donovan Mitchell was happy to be here up until he got his supermax contract and then all of a sudden he wanted to leave. So, he got his supermax and he left. And by the way, that guy is not everything everyone I don’t know. I’ll leave that alone. But, uh, uh, curious your Riley O’Brien curious your thoughts and forgive me if you’ve already addressed this. Do you feel that the Jazz would have taken Ace Bailey had they the third pick? Yes, they would have. And I don’t know. Uh I don’t know. I think there’s some people that probably know better. I I don’t know. They might have even thought about it at two. I don’t know. Uh, but I don’t know that. Let’s see. I mean, I love the pick for Ace Bailey. He’s big. He’s long. He’s athletic. That sucks, Shark. And I’ll tell you what, there’s some freaking losers here in Utah. No doubt. Like some of the I don’t know, there are some lots of of those types of people here that are losers and I wish they would like die in a fire, but like what can you do? I don’t know. But there’s types like that like I mean I remember when I was in North Carolina I heard stuff like that and it was like yo it I don’t know. So I don’t know. I I hate I guess I shouldn’t give the argument like there’s racists everywhere. Utah does have that and it’s got to get better. People need to stop like like people just need to teach their kids not to say that crap. And like when your friends at it’s like when they hear their friends at school, they need to like not perpetuate that garbage. You know what I mean? I hate that stuff. I hate that stuff so freaking much. Like I don’t think like I think the majority of people are good people that really mean well. And I think there’s some people that are ignorant and those people need to be taught somehow. I don’t know how you do it. I I don’t know. It is like not something you ignore. It’s got to get better, but there’s a lot of jazz players that have really loved being here and I do feel like Utah’s getting better. I do feel like it’s improving. Um, doesn’t mean that we say it’s over because there are problems and we still need to fix it. We still have our it is our duty to do better and to like teach each other and if someone’s doing or saying something that you know is wrong, don’t perpetuate it. You know what I mean? And I don’t know. I don’t know what else you can do. It’s like, you know what I mean? Uh K, I’m pretty sure Danny wanted ace at three 100%. Uh, Jaor had a great dunk today. I saw it was sweet. Uh, Ray Congor, John Tani, not playing tonight. We don’t even get Tani tonight. Like, no Tani sucks. Uh, hit the like. Thank you. K, let’s see. Chase a people are worried about being Gordon Haywarded again, but you can’t run a team in fear. Exactly. You can’t run your life in fear. If you just do everything in fear, you’ll just trade everyone after five years. You know what you do, guys? And by the way, the new CBA is super strict. It’s a double-edged sword. It makes it extremely tough with trades and things, but having a cap that’s extremely tough with trades also is an advantage for you. So, like, let’s say Ace Bailey just gets treated like a king and he loves it here and he finds a home in Utah where he can feel comfortable. You know, it’s a lot like Derek Favors. Derek Flavors is from a he’s from Hotlanta, baby. The deep ATL, but he goes back there during the offseason. There’s nothing wrong with that. Go live, go take your vacation, go home, go be with family. That’s what we would all do. When I lived in North Carolina and Ohio before I came to Utah, I’m Mormon and I had misgivings about moving to Salt Lake. I was like, uh, I don’t know. I don’t know. and I’m Mormon. And then I moved here and it was like fine. I was like, “Oh, this isn’t so bad.” And I know I’m That’s coming from a white guy. Uh Jagor shot the ball well, but he had zero assists and six turnovers. Yeah, I wouldn’t have picked Jaor at eight. I’ll just be honest. I was kind of hoping he’d be there at 21, though. I would have picked him at 21, not at 8. Uh but you know what? Yes. Member of the Church of Jesus Christ. That’s exactly right. Uh who is our starting back court? Good question. I made that I made that um I made that what’s it called? That poll on SLC Dunk. You guys can still still go vote, I believe. Um, I here’s my guess and I think I did it wrong, but I didn’t put Bryceaba. But now after I thought about it, I think it might be Walter Clayton and Bryce Sensa. Maybe. What do you guys think? I don’t know. I think Walter Clayton is legit. I could see Walton Key, but one of the things I’ve noticed about Will Hardy. Oh, is that uh former jazz man Dell Curry? Is that Dell Curry? Maybe not. No, I don’t think so. Anyways, uh I wish he was Balisteros. He is not. I think that the way Will Hardy does things, I think he did kind of put Key in the six-man role because I kind of think that’s how he looks at Keonte George down the road. Um, I don’t know, Shark. I mean, I guess in my opinion, I think they’ll just have like uh like whoever wins the position, I guess. And I think Walter Clayton has been just kind of like who’s been more impressive in summer league, Walter Clayton Jr. or Isaiah Collier, you know what I mean? I think Walt is the perfect player to play off of a star like that type of guy that he can handle. He can run a pick and roll. He’s a great shooter and I think he really tries on defense. My only question is defense. Can he defend? That’s what I hope. That’s the thing is like we talk about a stretch five, but you want a five out offense. And to have a five out offense work, all five have to be able to shoot. I mean, honestly, guys, if Utah, if Utah gets a star in this draft, let’s say they get Peterson or something like that, and Ace Bailey hits and Clayton hits, you have Taylor Hendricks. If he can shoot and defend, and if he looks like he’s back, shout out, Brent. I am I am that I am every Sunday. and every day in between. But anyways, uh if if you have a team filled with players that on the defensive end defend and then on offense can shoot dribble pass and you’re playing five out, you can win a championship with that if you have a dominant kind of hub player. You know, Utah has I just don’t know if Utah even with Donovan Mitchell and I don’t think Donovan Mitchell is the dominant hub you need. I think Don My Donovan Mitchell is I think he’s an elite elite number two. I just don’t think he’ll ever admit that or be that or be okay being a number two. And you know, not all of us can and maybe not all of us should in life, you know. Um, let’s see. Uh, he’s pulling an Anthony Davis. I don’t know what’s going on. He that the Jazz are obviously just being extremely careful, which is fine, but every time I see that notification that he’s not playing, I get bombed every time. Uh, Kesler is too good. Same with Key. Yeah, Kesler. Uh yeah, that’s the thing though. But Shaq was a number one. Like Shaq was an A1 superstar dominant force. Like just flat out. Like you give Shaq the ball, he’s putting it in the hole. I don’t know. And then on defense, Shaq was and Shaq was kind of perfect for his error because Shaq didn’t have to go out and defend on the at the three-point line. That’s what makes someone like Chad worth the max contract he got. because Chad can protect the rim. He can also go out and protect. He can also defend on the perimeter. And Chad also shoots the three. Chad also drives. Chad’s a good player. The question is, can Chad stay healthy for the Thunder? Yeah, Shaq, guys. I don’t know for all of you who are like me that are older and got to watch Shaq play, he was just, it was not fun. He was so dominant. They are, but they got their guys. So, and guess what? They’re filled with picks. So, they’ll constantly have young players around their stars. And the You know what? The apron doesn’t keep you from doing making draft picks. So, that’s why Oh, here we go. Let’s listen to this. Excellent. guys. What if what if he won the league MVP? Yeah, I that was a crazy one, guys. I just h I wanted to watch him play so bad. Dog on it. Well, let’s just make I tell you what, guys, as selfish as I am, I guess, to just want to watch Ace Bailey play. Here’s a blast from the past. Remember when Bo Jackson dislocated his hip and that career was over? We do not want that. So, better to let Ace Bailey get healthy. Uh, let’s see. Can Wizards beat the Jazz tonight? Yes. And during the regular season? Yes, cuz Well, actually, I think Utah might be a little better than the Wizards. If Lowry Markin’s on the team, I think so. Um, and Kesler. I mean, honestly, there’s my I think my final prediction. The tank for Ace is on. We got Ace. The tank for AJ. It is. Uh, we got to think of nicknames, but Debonsa Darren 16 bomb. It’s time to debumps. There you go. We got to get Darren Peterson. Stop caring for Darren. There you go. Uh, what else? What is it? Veroozer. Loser. For boozer. Debumpsa. It is debombsa. Uh, I I uh forgot what I was talking. Oh, I here’s my final play like PP for DP. Uh my prediction for starting lineup for the Jazz this year if if the no other move happens if the Jazz say we can’t find a we don’t want to trade Larry Markin or we can’t find a trade for Larry Markin or for anyone if this is the roster Walter Clayton at the one um what’s it called? Why can’t I Bryce Sensaba at the two, Ace Bailey at the three, Lowry Markin at the four, Walker Kesler at the five. That’s my prediction for starting lineup. I think that’s what it probably is. I probably made a mistake on my SLC Dunk article. I’m sure they’ll be nice in the comments to me. But yeah, only thing is one thing that drives well and maybe it’ll be a good thing. I guys, I get so tired of how much Bryce Sense turns the ball over. It’s crazy. Every single game I do my postgame and I go there and it’s like six turnovers for Bryce Sensaba and it’s like when did that even happen? It’s crazy. He turns it over like crazy. But that might be too good of a lineup, guys. I’m telling you. Like that’s a better team than Washington, I think. Are we better than Charlotte with that lineup? I think we’re comparable depending on how good uh what’s his name? Brandon uh what’s his name? Brandon Miller. That’s right. Like maybe Brandon Miller takes a leap. Yeah. Oh, that’s cry emoji though, Dre. That freaking sucks. If marketing gets injured next year, I’m pissed because if he has some freaking fluke injury and we can’t trade him because of it, I’m going to be pissed. H Someone told me on my channel I was disrespectful for talking about trading market and I just want to like I don’t know. Uh if you like marketing that’s great. I’m not the biggest fan, but disrespectful on my own YouTube channel. [Laughter] Oh my gosh. This is the first time I’ve checked the score the whole game. Utah is up by four. Did they pull Cody? Oh no, he’s on the wing there. No go. No good. Nice collier. There you go. I don’t know. I think one thing I’ve noticed is Austin Age actually makes moves like uh when they say they’re going to do something and we get rumors like Austin Ang like does it. I want to see a little more Cody taking the ball up. I mean, as much as I like Kier diving into the basket. Whoa, Kier. Oh, absolutely, Dre. I tell you what, I really want to see some like Taylor Hendris center this year. I re because you know what my dream lineup is I guess if we have Kesler is Hendricks at the four I would like to see I I think we’re probably and I know I do this I think I’m like probably thinking ke of Trix of more than what he actually was. He was defending well. We weren’t seeing a ton of offense. Um, I think he’s It sucks that Hendrickx loses an entire year of development. So, we’ll get that this year. I love the idea of Hendricks at center, though. Like, what if Hendrickx can play center and you’ve got Camboozer and Ace Bailey and that’s your front court? That would be freaking amazing with like Walter Clayton. Oh my gosh. And then you got guys like Key off the bench, five out offense. I mean, even you bring in like Filipowski off the bench and he’s going to come in and give you 12 points pretty quick. I don’t know. That’s a fun team. And I think Camboozer and Ace Bailey, that’s a really fun duo to build around. Oh my gosh. That’s the thing is I mean, I know I was disrespectful on my channel, but Lowry’s not been the best defender. That’s where you gota that’s where Taylor has so much potential. Like Kesler Hendris is a fun fun duo. Okay guys, let’s talk about that. Would you like this? Walter Clayton, Darren Peterson, Ace Bailey, Taylor Hendricks, Walker Kesler. I think I would like to see that. I think that would be freaking good. The question is, how good of a defender is Darren Peterson? I don’t know. Or would you like to do something where it’s like Walter Clayton, insert player blank, Ace Bailey, um AJ Debonsa, and I guess they’re both playing kind of the 34 switch. Nice three by Cody, by the way. And then Kesler, I guess, and Hrix. Good job, Card. I’m telling you guys, I think Hrix I just want to see Hendrickx get time. That’s another thing that the Jazz have to prioritize is Hrix. That’s pretty amazing stuff. If you you know I really want to see how he looks post injury because man it was a brutal injury. I remember me and Sven were doing that game and it was like are you serious? It was the most like H Collier’s hit a couple threes tonight. What’s Kier at? Two for four. I just I really want to see Taylor Hendricks get a lot of run. I don’t know. I I I’m not I’m sometimes wrong because sometimes I think I don’t have the same philosophy as some front office people, but this front office seems to have the similar feel to things as this. That must sound so freaking arrogant. It feels like the things that I want is what they’ve done. And I really would like to trade um like Lowry to clear up room for Ace Bailey and Taylor Hendris. That’s part of what I would like. I’m kind of in the boat at this point of like I guess if we have to sign Kesler, if we can get him for 20 million, I’m happy with that. I bet we could, too. I think the Jazz are waiting to. I’m glad they are cuz I think Taylor I think uh Kesler is eligible for an extension right now and they haven’t done it. I think they’re going to let him play this year. See how he does, which is the right move in my opinion. I tell you what, Trey Johnson’s looked good. He’s kind of looked exactly what I hoped or what I thought. The thing about Trey Johnson, guys, is his defense, he is going to show up on the bad defender lists pretty quickly. He is not a good defender. It’s like really bad. That’s one of the things that had me so excited about Ace Bailey from the short little thing we saw in Salt Lake. Like the guy defended. He went over screens. He moved really well and like his rebounding. I mean rebounding was a big deal. Great rebounder. Uh we’re just we’re lucky we got to get a guy like that and see what he turns into. I think we can turn him into someone really, really good. Oh my gosh. Yeah, we’re sitting with the hex the hip flexor just because he’s got to get used to sitting. Maybe I think you just got to like play your young guys. And I do think the Jazz are going to play to win. I don’t know. I think there’s a lot going on behind the scenes with this. There’s still stuff going on. Walt, Peterson, Ace, Flip, Kesler. That would be a fun lineup. I would root for that. Why not Kesler instead of Flip and then Flip as your sixth man? The guy’s on the you know ball. Who’s you ball? Oh, I guess that’s true. I guess I don’t mind flip at the four. I don’t I’ve decided I’m kind of against flip at the five except in situations where you just need to go flamethrower and try to catch up like if you’re like down 10 and it’s early fourth quarter like put flip at the five put all your best shooters on the floor and try to get a quick run you know those type but not like I don’t know I just don’t think it works. I guess we’ll see. I mean, he shoot if he shoots 40% from three and like if he’s 50 40 like 80 or something, it’s hard to keep him off the floor. Look at that ball movement by the Jazz. That was nice. Jeez. Yeah. Cody’s got to work on his three-point shot. I hope he can figure out how to improve that because I think it’ll make him a potential rotation player. But he’s got to shoot the ball at a at a higher clip. Tyler Johnson, Peterson, Ace, Lowry, Taylor Walker. I don’t mind it. There’s just no ball handlers. I mean, I guess I kind of from what I’ve seen, I feel like Ace can turn into a somewhat of a playmaker. I don’t know how much. We’ll see. We’ll find out. Uh Lowry Lowry is not Lowry’s terrible with the ball in his hands in a lot of not every situation, but most. Taylor, I guess we’ll see. And Walker, we know he’s not very good. I was surprised too, Dre. Like, and that’s kind of the thing that everyone talked about, but like I was watching him and I was like, you know, it’s like not that bad. I It kind of squirted out of his hands a couple times driving to the basket. So, I think he’s obviously got room for improvement, but I felt like it was like this is not like terrible. So, I don’t know. I think I think Ace can like here’s the thing. If Ace can like handle the ball well enough that he can drive to the basket and be comfortable driving, it really unlocks a lot. And then if he can handle that ball, if they go under the screen and he just pulls up from three, I mean, you’ve got yourself you’ve got yourself a 25 point per game scorer right there. Just boom. And then obviously he’s got to like be able to initiate contact. So he gets to the line and so on and so forth. Just don’t get a bad picture like a Say Cody. If he gets a Paul George handle then you’ve got yourself Paul George basically like like I think that’s the call if he can get that handle to improve because I think his defense can be the same level. Paul George, people forget, but Paul George was elite elite defender. And if if Ace Bailey turns into that, my goodness, like a if you pair Paul George with, you know, if Ace Bailey is that caliber of guy, that’s like an elite number two guy. And then if you get like a number one in this draft, like whatever one of those guys, I mean, my gosh, how fun would a team built around Darren Peterson and Ace Bailey be if Ace Bailey has a Paul George level handle? I don’t know, man. That is that is my channel will do numbers. I’ll just say that people will be excited. Yeah, Bailey, three assists. I went and did the math. In 34 games, Ace Bailey only had six games with three or four three or more assists. So, he did in in two games what it took him like he just didn’t do it a lot. And he already did it in summer league, you know, and the most he had in college was four assists. That was his career high. But we only got to see like we’ve been honestly just the very tip of the iceberg. I want to see more. I want to see what he’s got. Dylan’s not looked super amazing. Am is that just me? Like what is Dylan Harper’s numbers in summer league? It’s been a little rough. Um, shut down Dylan Harper shut down by Spurs after two summer league games, but hit like against the Jazz. Look at this. Dylan Harper in his debut 16 points, six rebounds, but it was five for 12 from the field, 0 for four from three. I mean, not terrible. But against the Jazz, it was not very good. And it’s not looked super smooth, guys. I gotta say, in that one, in that second game, Ace Bailey was like, you had like Bryce and Sabah and Isaiah Collard doing whatever they could to try to get enough points so they didn’t have to play anymore. And Ace Bailey still scored like what was it? 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds and three assists and a block shot. I mean, good job, Cody. Cody is showing me enough that I you got to let him I don’t know that you shouldn’t cut him. Is that fair? You should like just see where this goes. What if because I think we’re seeing a little bit of improvement and what if he has that little bit of improvement every year? That’s what you hope. I guess you get to the point where he becomes a nice player. See, look at Cody shoot. It’s his Oh, that was bad. But his balance is better to me than Kier. Dang it. Jeez, I didn’t realize it was that bad, Dre. Yikes. What if Bailey is like the number two player in the draft behind Cooper? That would be so great. And by the way, every time I hear Ace Bailey talk, I love hearing him talk. I love his personality. He just seems like a fun, happy, nice guy. I don’t know what else to take from him other than I like his personality. And you know what else? I love that Walter Clayton feels like a freaking dog. Like that leader that you want. Come on, Cody. Yes. Yeah. Look at that. 18 for Cody playing better than Dylan Harper. I’m just kidding. Who’d you rather have, Cody Williams or Dylan Harper? Cody Williams for Dylan Harper? Who says no? Cody, look at that. Oh, absolutely, Dre. the the CBA is not forgiving. It’s just not there. And we don’t have a front office that’s going to like just do that, you know? Yes, we like folded with Donovan, but we kind of had to. There was nowhere else that team was going to go. There were no picks left. There was no cap left. They were in the double apron. It was only going to get worse. There was nowhere to go. If Utah builds this right and stops giving bad contracts to players, you know, it’ll be fine. Just give him supermax money. Like we said, a dollar in Utah goes just as far as a dollar in Minnesota. Thank you, Skeleahan. I appreciate it. I’ve been really trying to grow the channel and I’m going to keep growing. I may, you know, August is gonna be tough. There’s not a lot going in August. Um, I gotta put up I’m gonna do a better job with SLC Dunk this year, too. I’m gonna set up a schedule for the guys because I feel like I have not been giving enough like structure to the team, but I’m going to do better with that. And with my YouTube channel, I’m going to just grow it. I don’t want to be a purely national channel, but I will do national stories and stuff. And the everyday video thing is going to keep on rolling. I had almost 500 subscri subscribers in the last 30 days and uh I hit a monetary goal I’ve always wanted to hit and I did it the first time and I was really really really happy. So, thanks everyone for your support. I super super appreciate it. Like uh and I’m sure Ace Bailey was part of that and that’s great. But also posting every day has been good. I also have this I have an agent kind of I’m part of a network agency. It’s RHI. Um and I had a talk with my agent a few days ago and I have this other deal with Amazon which is pretty great. They use my channel for research and I get paid. So, it’s pretty sweet. So, anyways, thank you guys for the support. I super appreciate it. Super appreciate it. Yeah, Cody’s balling tonight, guys. And I know, grain of salt, it’s uh summer league, but it’s better than him sucking, you know? End of the second quarter is good flip time. I don’t think flip’s coming in, my man. Uh let’s see. Chase a if we could get Kaminga and those two unprotected first. I want that so bad, dude. That’s the That’s the trade in my opinion. Uh Nikkias at the very end of the Zack Lopod today talked about Detroit and Lowry. What does what do you guys want from Detroit for Lowry? If they call you and say, “Hey, we want Lowry.” What do you want? You know what I do? Would you guys take uh Who’s their guard that got injured? Jeez. Yeah. Cade. We ain’t getting Cade. What’s their guard’s name? Jaden. What’s his name? I’m getting older, guys. They don’t come The names don’t come to me as fast. I know who they are. I can picture them. I can’t The name doesn’t come to me. Uh, Jaden Ivy. What if we did Jaden Ivy and like Tobias Harris for Larry Markin and we got like a first? I’d think about that. Could Jaden Ivy play next to Walter Clayton? That might be fun. We might be too good to be honest. I think like Jaden Ivy. Who helps you win a game more? Jaden Ivy or uh Lowry Markin. And I’m not kidding. Let’s look at Jaden Ivy’s and the rights to well and the FanDuel rights to Malik Beasley. Uh Jaden Ivy, 6’4 shooting guard, 46 from the field, 40% from three last year before his injury. Jaden Ivy’s Whoa. Cody, this is sweet. Cody Williams 13 in the third, you guys. Cody Williams 56 from the field, 50 from three, two steals, two assists. He does not remind you of Donovan Mitchell. Or are you talking about Jaden Ivy or Cody Williams Cody? He’s a second half demon. You know who he’s reminding me of taking advantage of that garbage time? Colin Ston, baby. By the way, Utah’s up by 22. I didn’t even know. Oh, Cody Williams was right underneath. He didn’t give it to him. Haters, no rebounds. He is a bum. I mean, this is a super grain of salt game, but guys, here’s the thing. Like, it’s much better to be succeeding than failing. Especially right now, if if Cody Williams was like one for nine and like sucked, it’d be kind of like time to be like, I think we should cut this guy. But no, he is he is overcoming. This is nice to see. So much better than sucking, right? What if Cody Williams is good? No, don’t shut down Cody Williams. I need somebody to root for. My gosh, they’ve shut down everybody. One of these days they’re going to DM me and shut me down. I don’t even know who Dan Goodwin is. Is he on the floor? Who’s 36? He looks like he get he works at swig before the game. White boy 30s. I think he made me my pool boy Mountain Dew before this game. He might be a pool boy. By the way, if you’ve ever been to I think it’s uh not Twisted Sugar, not Swig, what are the other ones? We have so many in Utah. I forgot. Guys, look at this stat line for Cody Williams. Nine for 16, three for six from three, two assists, two steals, only two turnovers. Bryce Sens’s like, what? Only two turnovers? I get at least five. Just kidding. Uh, let’s see. I finally I finally watched that movie Sinners on HBO. It’s a vampire movie. It was okay. It was pretty good. I enjoyed it. It was pretty good. I watched uh Superman, guys. It is like must see. It’s so freaking good. Oh, Superman was awesome. I want to go see F1. I’ve heard that’s really good. And I want to go see um Fantastic 4 next week. Um I am getting a week off from work next week. My parents are coming. My mom, we were going to go on a trip to Mesaverie, so I was going to not be able to post for a week, but uh now that my parents, my mom has like back issues right now, which sucks, and she’s getting injections. So, we’re doing like a station where my mom visits and we go see like movies. I think we’re going to like have a lagoon day. What this means is I’m going to have a full week of I’m going to post a video every day because that’s the goal. That’s what we’re going to do. So, videos next week. I just gota Everyone needs to let me know what you want a video about and I will do it. I’m kind of s I don’t I kind of felt like Dylan Harper did not get a lot of separation when I was watching him. Like I don’t feel like he his first step was super impressive. And maybe it’s just nothing and maybe it’ll be fine come regular season, but it’s not nothing. [Laughter] It’s the video about flavored soda electric. Here’s the order you should get at uh Oh, sodalicious it’s called. That’s the other one. So, there’s Swig, So Delicious, Fizz, Twisted Sugar. Yep. And I think there’s more at So Delicious. They have one called The Pool Boy and it’s so good. Love me a Pool Boy. It’s uh And I because you guys know my love for Mountain Dew. It’s a Mountain Dew with like cream and coconut and lime. Oh, mama. That’s the combo right there. I love coconut, by the way. Do you guys like coconut? I love the texture of coconut. I love the smell of coconut. I love the flavor of coconut. Oh, I could talk about anything for hours. H. We got to do like rankings of these places. I think Twisted Sugar is up there in terms of cookies. Yeah, coconut is the bomb. Never ever underestimate a good pinina cola. Uh but uh I tell you what guys, we got a s’more cookie from uh we went camping a couple weeks ago or hiking I think. I can’t remember. But we got a s’mores cookie from Twisted Sugar that thing. And it’s the cookie of the month at Twisted at uh Twisted Sugar. Where’s my Where’s my advertising dollars? Twisted Sugar. But anyways, that uh s’mores cookie was off. What did the kids say? It was off the chains or whatever you say. It was It was uh It was good. My wife loves at Twisted Sugar. She loves the the Zukco. It’s called It’s like a raspberry cream Dr. Pepper. That’s her go-to. Oh, nice pass by Kier. You got to make that. You’re cut 36. Wow. Look at him go. Wow. Oh, I’m just hoping AJ Johnson takes a major leap this year and helps the Wizards win a lot of games they don’t want to win. Ow. I just Ouch. Uh, let’s see. Sorry, guys. Let’s I missed a few. Oh, Ivy. You guys would ra you’d take Ivy. A lot of people are big on Ivy. I also am big on Ivy. I don’t know if they’d trade Ivy to be honest, but if they would, who says no? Jaden Ivy for Lowry Markin. Who says no? Um, let’s see. Fizz Chip. Oh, that’s right. Chip. As far as cookies, it looks like Hermy from Rudolph. Are you talking about me? OMG. Yes, the chat is open. Thank you, Eugene 12 off the G’s. Fitz was the Fizz was the OG. Yeah, Cody looks good. Zack, he does. Just flat out looks good. I don’t care about the salary rules. Everyone always tells, you know how what I get on every single video, someone tells me there’s a minimum salary rule in the MBA and the CBA. Guys, let me just say right now, I know that there’s a minimum salary rule. I know I don’t have to say it every single video. I know that I’ve been doing this a long freaking time. Yeah, maybe I forgot. Maybe if you got, you know, to each his own. Leaky black. Good one has cost Collier two assists. Kier’s like, “What the heck, man? The Jazz are so in the Let’s just lose and go home mode. If there’s one thing the Jazz know how to do now, it’s lose on purpose. Well, guys, I’m super happy that Cody Williams is playing well. I think he’s earning himself rotation minutes. That is nice. Here’s a I I got on the angry machine called Twitter. Uh would you guys risk drowning for $500,000? So like this picture of Mr. Beast is being dragged down by a rock with a rope around his neck. That’s pretty cryptic, but uh By the way, Common Malawatch has been doing pretty well lately. Let’s look at his stats. Everyone got quiet. Yes. Let’s risk drowning. Maybe he sucked and I’m going to put in my place right now. Oh, never mind. That’s true. If you lose, it’s like, well, [Laughter] I almost drowned once for real, too. I It was crazy. 500K would do a lot for me. I’ll tell you that much. I I have you guys gone whitewater rafting in uh near Teton? I swam through lunch counter and I got drugged down in the river by the like an undercurrent and but did you live? Spoiler. Uh, but there was a moment there where I was like under the water and I remember looking up and I was like, I’m not coming out. I think this is it. And it was weird. I did have that weird peaceful feeling. It was crazy. And then I came, it shot me out and I drugg myself out of the water like a dead rat and uh laid on the laid on the sandy shore for a bit. And then uh this was a scouting trip and then like there’s this kid uh what was his name? Um oh his last name was Arnold. I forgot his first name. Oh, you I I mean, we’ve all been there where we’re like, I think I’m dying. I must have been. And then like uh Brandt Brandt Arnold uh Oh, they got us right where they want the want us at 14. But Brandt Arnold, he swam through too in his life jacket and he was on the other side of the river and we like couldn’t get to him and we were like, “Brandt, you gotta swim. Brand, Brand, you got to swim.” And Brand just yelled back, “I can’t. I’m too tired.” And he died. Just kidding. He lived. I just thought it was so funny that he just said, “I can’t. I’m too tired.” And just accepted his demise. He just like we watched him just float down the river. Uh, legend has it he’s I think he’s somewhere in California or in the Gulf of Mexico. Oh, hope I didn’t offend anyone. It’s like somewhere in the ocean. He’s like floated out into the ocean somewhere. Wherever the Snake River comes out. Poor Brandt Arnold. I’m gonna look up Brand Arnold right now. Oh, that guy. His dad was pretty funny. Uhoh. Grant Arnold still alive. This is so funny. I want to share his picture, but like I don’t know if that’s like advisable. Oh, I love him. I haven’t looked at his pictures for a while. He lives in Salt Lake. Brand, are you watching? Brand. Brand Red. Whim. [Laughter] Oh man. No way. He has literally no idea. I mean, I’m remembering him fondly. I thought he was a really funny kid. His dad uh was a potato farmer. I lived in Idaho and I did potato farm work. I worked on potato farms for like five years each. In Idaho they have potato harvest in October. So everyone in school in Idaho gets two weeks off. I lived in Rexburg and you get two weeks off in October because they allow the kids to go work on farms. It’s called child labor. And I worked with Brandt Arnold’s dad for like three or four years doing potato harvest. I almost got all the way to to truck driver, but I Spud Harvest was the best. And I would like work Spud Harvest the whole time. And then I remember I bought a Nintendo 6 or did I buy a Nintendo 64? I can’t remember. I think I bought one. I might have bought a GameCube. It was either that or one. like you work like 16 hour days making like five bucks an hour. It’s like very not ethical. But uh I earned that I earned that that video game. And then I went on my mission and my mom gave it all to the DI. What the heck? Mom still hurts. [Laughter] It’s Shelly. No, I never went there. Nice, Brent. I lived there for a long time. My dad was a professor at BYU Idaho. living that Rexburg life. Uh things I did in Rexburg. Uh I used to do a thing with my buddies. We were really into jackass and like I was a little I was like a skater kid that didn’t like to skate. But anyways, we uh did a lot of dumb stuff. Like one time I raced my friend. I got up I got my mom’s minivan up to like 140 miles an hour. That was so stupid. On an icy road in the winter. Talk about dumb. But I won that race, baby. Uh, we set up a jump and I jumped off of it. And to this day, I I think I broke my wrist because it still hurts sometimes. But I was not about to tell my dad that I like, “What’ you do? I was doing stunts, Dad. I was doing red stunts. And now I talk about basketball. Rexburg was pretty good football. Rexburg when I was in high school, I never made the basketball team. In my defense, outside of the fact that I’m not as good as I, you know, probably thought. We also won state both years. I was like my like sophomore or like my what is it junior and senior season they won state. We had a we had a few guys get offers. They were a good team actually. Our rival was only good thing that ever came out of Rigby was the highway. He take that. Suck on that. Riby will never recover. Go Bobcats. Steve, that’s right. Madison Bobcats. Hi, Supernova in France, baby. Uh, I don’t how do they say hi in France? Uh, uh, I So, I don’t know how to say anything in French besides like the color blue is blue. Uh, merci is thank you. I think we we Yes. Yes. Yes. Bonjour. There we go. Bonjour. Super. Bonjour. Supernova. I do speak Spanish, but has nothing to do with French. I don’t believe it, Brent. That’s fake news. Mercy. Uh yeah, guess what? Yeah. Like I didn’t go to a lot of things, but like there was always fights between and and Madison. Always. That’s crazy. If they really took state in football, that’s crazy. It was rigged. That’s right. Rigby, the home of colored television, allegedly. What was that about? Did you guys see that? Well guys, that was fun. Shout out Madison Bobcats. Shout out BYU Idaho. Shout out Spud Harvest. Shout out Brent Arnold. Swim Brent, swim. I will talk to you later, guys. Swim. [Music]
