Wes:Sports junkie and I'm just kinda the average Joe Well, I mean, I
Trey:wouldn't even say that because without Westman and his production skills and and the the AI stuff he comes up with for our promotions, man, is is insane.
Wes:I think I'd spend more time trying to get those graphics.
Trey:No. But they're so crazy. Like, it's so crazy how it ends up working out.
Wes:Yeah. Like, the last one of because of the the clip, which sounded like shit talking that Macho Man Randy said

Trey:Well, it was a half. First off, it was a second. Let me tell you. That didn't that listen. I'm still I'm still trying to get into even better shape.
Trey:So Yeah. That was just that was just something that, you know, we we had to do for our dog.

Trey:So, like, obviously we are, here doing end zones and strike zones, man. Welcome back to the show. You know what I mean? We got a we got a post national championship episode. We got obviously, we kinda went over the AFC, NFC championship games last episode.
Trey:We got some NBA's almost to the all star break, got hockey in full swing. So, you
Trey:know, we got some
Wes:So, well, what's soccer
Trey:shit going on overseas, you know, all kind of stuff going on.
Wes:Let's, so the we already did the championship.
Trey:Yeah. I mean, before the game, we predicted Ohio State to win and exactly what happened is what happened. So, And that's it. That's all there is.
Wes:That's all
Trey:there is.
Wes:And like you said the end of the last show, we're coming for you.
Trey:Yeah. I'm supposed to
Trey:see him on August
Trey:30th, you
Wes:know? August 30th.
Trey:But still, I mean, yeah. They, you know, the defending champs. They're gonna be back to back seasons. We gotta go play the defending champs. So we'll we'll, we'll see.
Trey:But, you know, congrats to Ohio State again and Ryan Day and them for getting it done. You know, I already gave them a apology and whatnot. Jack's story, all them boys.
Wes:So Sir.
Trey:Hey, shout out to y'all. Yeah, man. You know, go on and do big things in the pros. Obviously, Ryan, Dave will see you in in about 7 months.
Wes:So The list. So it's kinda crazy that when when I'm at Blaze, they were talking about Ohio State and my boy, Jeffy, Jeff Fisher.
Trey:Mhmm.
Wes:Love you, buddy. He said the same thing that you did. And it was like, yeah, they should've won, but it still should've beat Michigan.
Trey:That just
Wes:That he and I go, validation. Just like
Trey:that just that that was not a game that they should've lost. I mean, obviously Will Howard
Wes:That was one of those that it doesn't matter.
Trey:Yeah, man. Like, ultimately, you won the national championship. So, you know, that's semantics, but, I mean, just keeping it real. They should never lost that game. But it is what it is.
Trey:They ended up getting the ultimate last laugh, which is one of it also. It is what it is, man. You know, we we all are we are all now off to the off season and trying to, get back to that point and hopefully dethrone them.
Trey:So
Wes:So here comes my question for you. What who are, like, the top prospects you think are going to go pro? Or, like, who are the lookouts that are, you know, that are gonna obviously, they're getting paid now, but think they're gonna go to NFL next year. Not not seniors.
Trey:Oh, so you mean, like, underclassmen?
Trey:Do you
Wes:think that are there some? Because it seems like if you're getting if you're getting paid now Yeah. It kinda takes away the the Well temptation.
Trey:That ultimate payday is in the NFL. Like, you're not you're not gonna you're not gonna get paid.
Wes:So this one in college is more like, yeah, you can have food.
Trey:Yeah. Yeah. I mean, honestly, it's I mean, yes. Now it's a little more yes. Now it's a little more than food and a place to stay.
Wes:Yeah.
Trey:You live in a little you know, you live in more comfortably than you would have been definitely. But ultimately though, like, that's what is gonna separate those guys. Right. The ones that truly wanna go and be great.
Wes:Is there anybody that you would say underclassmen that you think you could do it?
Trey:I mean, shit. Obviously, Anthony Hill from Texas. He'll be a junior next year. He'll be draft eligible. Right.
Trey:I think I mean, obviously shit. I mean, Cardenal Tate from Ohio State. He's gonna step into that, Emeka Ibuka role and take the number 2 spot after Jeremiah Smith. I mean, hell, Jeremiah Smith, if he was he a freshman and if he wanted to come out if he could come out this year, he would go first overall. Oh, really?
Trey:He's he's he's he's that good. So, no. I mean, it's just it's a lot of,
Wes:There's a lot of factors.
Trey:It's a lot of under yeah. It's a lot of underclass. There's always some guys that kinda crop up and pop up Like vaccination. Once it's yeah. And then once, like, the season like, once spring practice comes around.
Trey:Like, here in the next couple months as the draft and the combine and all that stuff starts to get closer, get completed, get done, and all that sort of stuff, then, like, as the colleges start spring practice and stuff, there will be guys that'll pop up that they'll start having like, people can start looking.
Wes:Okay. So who who are the, the seniors that you think should be
Trey:I mean, the top 5 top Well, I mean, the ones that are coming out this year, I mean, obviously, Shador and Cam Ward at quarterback. Dude, there's a lot of dudes honestly. I mean
Wes:Oh, I didn't mean to overload.
Trey:No. I'm just saying like that. Yeah. I just just I I mean, honestly, I don't even really have a list right now to be honest with you. Yeah.
Trey:I was
Wes:just trying to go They
Trey:got the East West Shrine Bowl going on right now. So that's a lot of, a lot of seniors, some juniors in there as well Right. That are doing a little extra, pre draft work and stuff like that. So it's I mean, it's a lot of events and stuff going on right now that, are gonna continue to kinda help shape the, draft picture and whatnot especially along with the combine and everything.
Wes:Is it gonna
Trey:be a
Wes:hell of a class?
Trey:I mean, it could be. I just it's it's always Nothing nothing groundbreaking. Not like
Wes:the It's
Trey:always kinda not
Wes:the Peyton Manning year.
Trey:No. Yeah. It's always it's polarizing for the quarterback situation with Shador and Cam Ward. Yeah. Like where they'll go and what and what number and, you know, what pick they'll go.
Trey:But other than that, bro, like, honestly, it's it's just one of those things well, it's just one of those things that unless you really excuse me. Unless you really dedicate your time to, like, scouting and doing draft preparation and stuff.
Wes:Yeah.
Trey:Like you kinda have to wait until app like obviously you can like read everybody else's stuff that does all the other leg work and everything. Right. But in terms of just like I mean really just watching like during the season, and kind of generating it from there. But some of those dudes also would, you know, went back to school. So
Wes:Well, okay. Yeah.
Trey:It's just like kinda Yeah. But, you know, like I said, once you get closer to the combine and everything like that, it'll it'll start to kinda shake itself out.
Wes:Alright. Cool. So we yeah. We got the we got the NC double a. Mhmm.
Wes:Do we do we wanna go into NFL now?
Trey:I mean, sure. We can. I mean, like
Wes:So there's because
Trey:what we we pick I think what we picked last time.
Wes:Yeah. So when we said that we wanted
Trey:We said that the e I I think we
Trey:said We
Wes:were hoping that Baltimore won, but they didn't.
Trey:Yeah. But they didn't. So Oh. It's I mean, obviously, Eagles Commanders and Chiefs and Bills.
Wes:I And we both said we want the, the command
Trey:Yeah.
Trey:The Commanders and the Bills, I think. Right? We said under underdogs.
Wes:Yeah. So did you so I I saw this and we talked about it, was talked about at work, but the the Philadelphia mayor
Trey:Yeah. Tried to spell Eagles.
Wes:Yeah. I No.
Trey:She said no. She said e l g s e s.
Wes:Yeah. It was l g l
Trey:g l
Wes:g l g l g l g l g l g l g l g l g l g. Yeah. So it was e l g s e s. And then she flooded again.
Trey:Yeah. So, And I thought she because she's
Wes:Hey, that was Sherrell Parker. Yeah.
Trey:She was supposed to say go birds at the end of that, but I don't even I couldn't even understand her.
Wes:Like, I mean, that's what she was trying
Trey:to say, but I could not sounded like she was drunk.
Wes:Yeah. That's what I yeah. That's what we were all
Trey:She was drunk.
Wes:Which is fine. It's cold it's cold outside.
Trey:It's Philly.
Wes:Yeah. There there's nothing to
Trey:do up there. I'm sorry, Philly, but like y'all like bro
Wes:You got street riot juice.
Trey:I know
Trey:y'all think y'all are like the toughest motherfuckers out, which you could be. But at the same time, bro, that
Trey:that
Trey:bro, y'all city is is
Wes:Why do you think they call it always sunny in Philadelphia? Yeah. It's like because it's never
Trey:Y'all city is trash. Like, got a lot of historical things there, you know,
Wes:where the city's colonies
Trey:and whatnot. But, like, bro, like, let's be for real. Yeah. Your city's
Wes:Pre industrial revolution, you guys are cool. Dog. Bullshit. I get it.
Trey:Dog. Your city sucks. I'm sorry. Your city fucking sucks, bro.
Wes:Well, it's late.
Trey:Regardless, you know, you're gonna come back and be like, were you a coward with me? Cool. Okay. But that doesn't have anything to do with your city sucks.
Wes:Yeah. So it's like Philadelphia. It's on the way to New York.
Trey:You know what I mean? This is just a little bit of a little stop through right here.
Wes:I don't know if you ever driven 95 all the way up to done that drive, but going so you gotta go through Philly, do you see all that? But going through Philly, the DC's a nightmare, but, like, Philly, it's got this one spot, and it's I was actually was on, 60 minutes. This bridge is called the I ninety five bridge was being basically held up by nothing, and it was like the most commuted it was the worst part of the drive because you have it it would be basically, like, for all Dallas listeners, assume that you're going up central, 75 Yeah. And you're about to cross or you're going 6:35 about to cross over central. Mhmm.
Wes:And just imagine that being held up by, like, one pillar.
Trey:Yeah.
Wes:Like and that amount of traffic, so they they can't stop the traffic because, like, commerce shuts down. Yeah. But I was like, I don't know. 5 days of disruption might be okay.
Trey:Yeah. To make sure that this thing doesn't fucking collapse.
Wes:Yeah. And the other thing about Philly fucking I'm not hating on capitalism, but these guys I'm actually applauding the people who will pay the who came up with it, but they're selling pints of snow Yeah. From the end zone in Philly
Trey:Uh-huh.
Wes:For people. So they're actually grabbing the snow Yeah. Putting in pint glass and selling it.
Trey:Oh.
Wes:And they are sold out right now.
Trey:Well, that that sounds like
Wes:some Philly
Trey:shit to do That's like some Philly shit to do right there. See?
Wes:Right. You know what
Trey:I'm talking about?
Wes:Y'all be on
Trey:that dumb shit, but it's cool, man. Y'all ain't in the UFC championship game trying to go to another Super Bowl. So, you know, you you you live your life, but y'all be on some other.
Wes:Yeah. So here's what they say. Here's what the he goes, this isn't your typical piece of memorabilia. It's a tangible frozen snapshot of the grit, passion, and determination that define the iconic game. By preserving the and authenticating the very snow, this monumental game, fans are offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to connect with playoff experience like never before.
Wes:Fuck you. No.
Trey:Snow melt.
Wes:Snow melts. Plus, how how can you verify it?
Trey:I'm
Wes:No snowflake is the same.
Trey:See what I mean y'all? Y'all be on that stupid shit, bro. Like that doesn't even make sense.
Wes:It doesn't make sense. If it was like a commemorative cup and it was like sat down on the field, you took a picture of it like, oh, this was on the the lake or whatever. I get it, but it still still sucks.
Trey:That's crazy, bro.
Wes:But, dude, eBay is gonna be probably going fucking wild with that.
Trey:No. Literally. But, dog, Philly, like I said, y'all, you know, be, you know, be you know, you're obviously happy that you're in the AFC championship game trying to go to Super Bowl, but, like, do some better shit than that. That's just Be better. Be better.
Wes:Look look in 1.
Trey:Be better. Okay. So what did we say? We said we wanted the commanders in the Bills to win because we're underdogs. Honestly, bro, there's I feel like there's gotta be at least one upset tomorrow, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was chalk and it's the Eagles and the Chiefs again.
Trey:So a lot of it.
Wes:I hope not. It I think everybody that goes into it just doesn't wanna see
Trey:Mahomes.
Wes:Mahomes win again. Yeah. They're becoming the Patriots of the 2000. Everybody's just they and the Patriots He's definitely don't want them to win.
Trey:He's fatigued. Yeah. Because they don't want them to get that 3 peat that they No.
Wes:They don't want especially the Patriots fans. Yeah. They don't
Trey:want them to get that 3 peat.
Wes:I think this is a one time Giants and Patriots fan can
Trey:get
Wes:along too.
Trey:Yeah. I mean, we'll see, dawg. I just it's gonna be one of those things. I mean, with the Commanders, though, they have nothing to lose. They got a rookie quarterback, Dan Quinn's in his 1st year as their coach.
Trey:So, like, they kinda just throwing caution to the win. They're doing whatever. But with their Bills, bro, I mean, John Tyler's gotta get over that hump at some point, you know?
Wes:Yeah. I mean, it's Even
Trey:what a better time than now.
Wes:He's very good.
Trey:The one loss Chiefs. So no. You already beat him earlier this year.
Wes:Yeah. So
Trey:I can execute it again.
Wes:Yeah. That's that's true. I I think it was what did they don't ask about, like, how you win is is they ask how many. Yeah. And, you want guys that play that, they don't like winning.
Wes:They just fuck They
Trey:ain't never took they ain't never took the trophy away because you only won by one point. Yeah. They're gonna that's that's staying with you.
Wes:Yeah. And you know, I want the guy that says, the fucking what was it on Moneyball? He's like, it's not that I like winning. I fucking hate losing. Hate losing.
Trey:I hate losing more than I like winning.
Wes:Exactly. Yeah. So That's
Trey:how they go.
Wes:I think, I think Josh is just so good at fantasy. I I'm pissed I didn't get him in my draft, but, actually, I've I was Jordan Love, and Nick stepped up for me. But it's, yeah. He's gotta get over that. He's still really young.
Wes:Isn't he he's what? Like, 28?
Trey:Yeah. 28. Yeah. I'm pretty sure he's like right around 28. Under 30.
Trey:Yeah. Definitely under 30.
Wes:Yeah. It's yeah. He's just got a oh, and speaking of the Bills, what the fuck are they doing about the goddamn stadium that they're building? Why are they still building an outside stadium?
Trey:Because they think it's a well, it is. Because I mean, it's a competitive advantage for teams in those cold climates. A lot of people are like Kurt Warner is a is he wants neutral or games only in dome stadiums.
Wes:Well, you can you can pull back the tarp or whatever. Yeah. It's just that from a a business standpoint
Trey:Yeah.
Wes:It makes no sense. Because, like, you gotta move the games. You gotta do this.
Trey:Yeah. Or at
Wes:least heat the field or something.
Trey:They they're yeah. He already like he said either have them in places that already have dome stadiums or these cold weather climates have to get dome stadiums or Yeah. You know, there's I mean, I you know, I the coldest I've ever played football in was like 26 degrees, 25 degrees. Like, I played
Wes:on Con
Trey:Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con
Trey:Con Con
Wes:Con Con Con Con Con Con
Trey:Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con
Wes:Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con
Trey:Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con
Wes:Con Con Con Con Con Con
Trey:Con Con Con Con Con Con
Wes:Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con
Trey:Con Con Con Con Con Con Con
Wes:Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con
Trey:Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con
Trey:Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con Con I mean, I get it because I hate I mean, I hate the cold, honestly, but I hate when it's too hot too. I'm one of those people like, neither like, I don't wanna pick 1 or the other.
Wes:Right.
Trey:I'm sorry. I'm a 70 or 75.
Wes:So that's why
Trey:like San
Wes:Diego's got the best. Yeah. Even though I live
Trey:in Texas and our weather is always all
Wes:over the place, like, I still I don't I mean,
Trey:I don't like the super hot or the super cold, bro. Like, I just Yeah. Because There's no winning for me there.
Wes:It's the one thing where they say, oh, yeah. You can always layer up when it's cold.
Trey:You can
Wes:kill it. But the thing is with football, I would think, yeah, I can take my helmet off, and I could cool down, but, like, your bones crack. Yeah.
Trey:And you got
Wes:a lot of cold day.
Trey:It's feel different. Yeah. I'm about to say, and you got a lot of restriction if you have to bundle up too much. Right. Gotta still be able to go out there and move around.
Wes:Yeah. Like, getting getting tackled in 25 degree weather hurts a lot more
Trey:than a 100 degrees. So
Wes:Yeah. So alright. So we got, so we just kinda go over our picks. We said that our ideal Super Bowl would be Commanders and, not Kansas City, but why am I drawing a blank?
Trey:You too.
Wes:I'm drawing a blank. It's it's the Commanders and who who's the ideal Super Bowl?
Trey:I mean, I guess the underdog.
Wes:Oh, so all the other shows well, we got the, the Commanders and who else? Who's the other underdog?
Trey:The Bills. Bills. Yeah. So Yeah. No.
Trey:I mean, I feel like,
Wes:For this yeah. So the Bills are playing, why am I drawing a blank?
Trey:Who No. KC.
Wes:Yeah. So the Bills are playing KC. Come in, play
Trey:the Eagles.
Wes:Yeah. So we want actually, that would be a really good fucking game.
Trey:Washington, Buffalo? Yeah. Yeah.
Wes:That would be. But what what's the realistic one? Bills?
Trey:Yeah. Eagles and Chiefs.
Trey:Yeah.
Wes:That'd be so boring every year.
Trey:We just watched that 2 years ago.
Wes:Yeah. It's so boring. Get your shit together, NFL. I know there's some guys, some some referees you can bribe.
Trey:And for me, like, as well as Jalen Hurst played in that Super Bowl, his fumble that led to the return touchdown, they did end up losing the game. Like, as well as he played, like, he just this season, he hasn't played he has it lit it up like Jaden Daniels or Josh Allen has done Yeah. To make it to to where I think he'd be able to take down Mahomes. Yeah. It just doesn't make a lot
Trey:of sense.
Wes:Mahomes is too consistent. But, you know, Mahomes from from a fantasy standpoint is not the best.
Trey:This year, he wasn't that good. No.
Trey:He wasn't.
Trey:He hasn't had a down year, but
Wes:Yeah.
Trey:Still Patrick Mahomes.
Wes:Alright. So, is there anything I know you gotta get going here.
Trey:No. You're good. You're good. Because we don't have to actually go get the gifts anymore. I can just get it delivered.
Wes:Oh, there you go.
Trey:So,
Wes:bought you some time.
Trey:To clean the, guest room, which is not gonna take long. We don't have to actually make it look amazing.
Wes:For the for those who don't know Trey Oh, yeah. The g f Zoe Yeah. Into a house. Yeah. Now you're starting to realize that having apartments actually not so bad.
Trey:Yeah. Yeah.
Wes:I don't know. I'm not hating on the house but
Trey:No.
Wes:The chores don't end.
Trey:No. It never ends. So, we just gotta clean it up, make it look presentable for her older roommate to come sleep in there for tonight. But like, bro. Okay.
Trey:So today we got some we got real quick. We do have some, basketball.
Wes:Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Trey:Both college and NBA. I'll mostly focus on the NBA because college has already started. Texas is playing Texas A and M right now. Fuck the Aggies. Anyway.
Trey:So, Pacers did beat the Spurs today. I'm listing these games off because they are the national television games. I'm not sure. Those of you out there that have NBA league pass, they can watch out of market games. But these are gonna be Everybody's broke from having
Wes:NFL pass. You know what I mean?
Trey:So these are gonna
Trey:be the games that are on on on TV and whatnot or if you have your illegal streaming apps, you do whatever you do. But Spurs beat the or Pacers beat the Spurs today. Damn, 13698. I did not see the
Wes:end of that game. 36?
Trey:Yeah. I did not see the end of that game. So I did not realize that they put their hands on them like that. Wow. That's crazy.
Trey:Okay. So, here in about 154, it says it's a 2 o'clock tip. Probably clip tip closer to 210. Timberwolves nuggets, that is a West, battle that, the Timberwolves are continuing to fight for some playoff positioning trying to get out of the play in. The Nuggets are now 28/16.
Trey:They kinda went on a run here. Nikola Jokic has just been going crazy. Yeah. That's at 2 o'clock on ABC. Then at 4:30 here in Dallas, the Mavericks are playing the Celtics.
Trey:I'm Lucas still out
Wes:for you. That's a that's gonna be that's a tough one. Yeah. Are the Mavs capable?
Trey:Well, they played really well the other night and beat OKC. So that's, you know, that if they can channel that again, I mean, the thing is since Lucas They beat
Wes:they beat OKC. Yeah. They beat my Lakers too
Trey:a couple of nights a couple weeks ago.
Wes:To play with the elite.
Trey:Yeah. It did. That's the thing is, like, they haven't been able to stream it together for back to back games. Like, they beat OKC then they lose to the Hornets and then, you know, like, they could beat the Celtics today and then whoever they play on on Monday, they could lose to. So Yeah.
Trey:It's just one of those things, with like, you know what I mean? Like, I wouldn't be surprised to honestly see the role players step up today then beat the Celtics at home on national TV and then lose to the Wizards on Monday. Yeah. Just wouldn't surprise me.
Wes:And I wouldn't but so I'm like here's I'm just looking out. So the so they after so the Mavs that got the got that role going, the momentum going after being OKC
Trey:Mhmm.
Wes:And after scoring a 100 points in the first 35 games, the Celtics did.
Trey:Mhmm.
Wes:They only for the past 10 games, they've been held 4 times under a 100.
Trey:They're yeah. So So that's why they're 5 and 5.
Wes:Yes. So since the Celtics have held
Trey:under a
Wes:100 4 times in their last 10 games,
Trey:all losses. They're 5 and 5 in their last 10 games, so that checks out.
Wes:So yeah. That's so, yeah, we're I'm just trying to find reasons why Mavericks have the capability of winning.
Trey:I mean, honestly, it's at home. Role players, it's Saturday afternoon. I saw a lot of people on the trail this morning, not necessarily wearing masks or anything, but just a lot of people were out and about. So I think the city itself is just it's kind of up today. Yeah.
Trey:Saturday, people are doing shit. Probably gonna go to the game and
Wes:It's a really weird time. Yeah. Of fight. Yeah.
Trey:And a lot of people had the, went to the Stars game last night, so I'm sure people will, also pop in, you know, to hear and, go watch the Mavs play. But, last but not least, the nightcap 7:30 on ABC. You know, I got the jersey on. Got the lake got the Lake Shore jersey on, man. You know, we're gonna travel over there to Golden State.
Trey:LeBron and Steph getting a another match, another matchup here in the regular season. Obviously in the same division, so they'll play 4 times. But, you know, it's been a, it's been a pretty, up and down year. I would say for the Lakers at 24 and 18, which is good. Better record, than the past 2 years at the same point in the season with a new coach.
Trey:So that's good. JJ has been doing a great job, but we just need to make more moves for defense on the perimeter, another secondary ball handler, and definitely a center to move AD to the 4. So many people are criticizing him for coming out publicly saying that, you know, we need to make a couple moves. Like, we're right there and
Trey:what whatnot.
Trey:And they're like, why don't you just go play and just play center? It's like, bro, he doesn't play center. Like, don't like, you can sit here and you can try to put this round square this round peg into a square hole. Right. It's not gonna fucking work.
Trey:Yeah.
Trey:He doesn't play the 5. He's had to do it before. He's less effective because it's not what he is. He's a 4. Yeah.
Trey:Like, I mean, he's a mismatch 4 that literally can go post up, shoot it from the outside, put it on the floor. I mean, all that sort of stuff and you wanna move him to the 5 in order to bank with Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid and all these guys for no reason whenever he can go and get that forward you know, the 4 man that they got on the other side, take him outside, move him inside, get foul,
Trey:go to
Trey:the line. I mean, it's just it's just
Wes:a different do it on like a whim. It's like saying like, oh, you're you play football. You're you're outside tackle. Yeah. Alright.
Wes:Go play go play linemen or go play linebacker. Yeah.
Trey:You know what I mean?
Wes:Like, I'm an athlete, but that's a this We're telling you This is not a sandlot game.
Trey:Yeah. We're telling your center in in football to go play tackle.
Wes:Yeah. Like, you're
Trey:not that that's not what he is. Yeah. He's like playing lineman. Yeah. But he doesn't go play tackle.
Trey:That's not how that works.
Wes:No. It's not.
Trey:You know
Trey:what I mean? So it's just one of those things. I do think there there are a couple moves that can be made. And it's always one of those things where people like, oh, they always wanna make moves for LeBron. I was like, well, he's fucking 40.
Wes:I would, yeah, I would like for
Trey:him to go out a winner. Like, why who wants Yeah. Fucking he puts as much as he does into the game at the age that he's at. Right. Why not want him to go out as a winner?
Trey:I just I just feel like it's it's disingenuous. So when
Wes:do you think so LeBron, is he talking about retirement soon?
Trey:He's definitely talked about retirement.
Wes:Okay.
Trey:He's definitely talked about it. He he could I mean, he's he's kinda said, you know, he doesn't truly know when it'll be. I mean, honestly, Wes, I think
Trey:he'll be
Trey:real with you. I think it could be I think this could be it.
Wes:It just depends on how
Trey:this season goes. I think this year could be it.
Wes:You know what
Trey:I mean? 40. It's all these he's 40 on a dime. Right? Yeah.
Trey:You know
Trey:what I mean? I think this shot I mean, he he it's 22 years, man. It's a lot.
Wes:I would bet that if they win this year, it's the last. If they almost win, next year is his last year.
Trey:Because you gotta think about it, bro. What did Tom Brady say whenever he finally like, obviously, he retired and came back. But what what was his his reasoning behind it was a lot of it was he has spent more than half his life doing that. Right. You know, LeBron came into the league at 18.
Trey:He's 40 now. So from the
Wes:I can't believe it's been that long.
Trey:From being from being a newborn to 18 to 18 to 40, he spent more time in the NBA than he previously did when he a lot. Yeah. You know what I mean? For till his a t bird. You know
Wes:what I mean? He spent more time playing pro level than he did even just pick pick a basketball.
Trey:Yeah. Like it's just so eventually, you know, you gotta you gotta call it quits. But I mean, you know, selfishly I hope it's not, but understanding that what we've written, you know, what we've gotten to witness man is is
Wes:Oh, I mean, just to get Yeah. And just, like, going with, like, the the rock bands that, you know, that that call it quits, they always said there's never the last tour, but it's like like Motley Crue signed something in was, like, 2,008. They they were never gonna tour again under Motley Crue
Trey:Yeah.
Wes:Like, I'm this and this, but they are touring again, whatever. But Vince Neil, the lead singer sounds like fucking garbage. It's like, dude, just like Elton John, yeah, he's 70. He still sounded fucking incredible, but it was his farewell tour, and I got to see it. He was so good, but it's like, alright.
Wes:He's leaving it
Trey:all out.
Wes:Yeah. It's like Like he definitely did more.
Trey:Do you
Wes:want because Vince like Vince Neil is gonna be known as how bad he sounded and how good they were. Yeah. To work. So it's kind of the same. It's like this is all you know, but it's like dude just just bow out.
Trey:Mhmm. You
Wes:know, know know your ceiling.
Trey:Yeah.
Wes:You know, just feel
Trey:like Look, we gotta understand and know when to call it quick.
Wes:Yeah. You
Trey:gotta know when to hold them and know when to fold them. Exactly. Know when to fucking fold them. So, you know, Bron is gonna continue to keep he's a competitor. 1st and foremost, that's the number one thing.
Trey:So I I can't be mad at him if he wants to continue to keep going out there and doing his thing. And as long as he wants to do it as a Laker, man, I ain't, you know, I'm not mad at all.
Wes:So how how old is, Curry?
Trey:Steph is 37.
Wes:Okay. So he's up there too.
Trey:37.
Wes:But his body hasn't probably taken this hit.
Trey:No. I mean, him being a shooter, you can do that, you know, when he's 45. The Warriors Warriors. I don't think he wants to, but you you can. You definitely can.
Wes:Because every stat I'm reading about this game, is is favoring the Warriors.
Trey:I know. They're they're point and a half favorites.
Wes:But that's not by much.
Trey:No. It's not shit. But I mean, you know, we'll see what happens. It's the even money line right now. So
Wes:Man, it's gonna be like watching a fucking football game. Yeah.
Trey:It's gonna
Wes:go back. I would hate to be LeBron trying to drive up.
Trey:It's gonna go back and forth.
Wes:Yeah.
Trey:I do wanna say, though, you know, before we end things, man, looking down on my Kobe tat, tomorrow, man, is gonna be 5 years, dawg, since we lost Kobe.
Wes:Oh, shit. Mhmm. Well, I mean, he was after watching that thing on Netflix about the dream team or the red team, hearing about Kobe was just him putting run a fucking wall through.
Trey:Yeah, bro. It's gonna
Wes:be 5 years. He worked.
Trey:Yeah. It's gonna be 5 years since
Wes:we lost Kobe. Yeah. Say what you want about Kobe. If you didn't like it or not, but you cannot deny how fucking objectively
Trey:good he was. Man, bro. I'm talking about never ever ever didn't leave it on the court, bro. Yeah. I mean every single time.
Wes:I got to see him play once and he just ran. This was like in 2005. Mhmm. He was playing the Mavericks and it wasn't even like game.
Trey:Yeah. I
Wes:mean it was like a 25 point lead. It was it was all Kobe.
Trey:Oh, yeah. I mean I remember that was that was that stretch back in 06 when did he average 60 for an entire road trip, bro.
Wes:That's ungodly.
Trey:He averaged 60 for a whole road trip, bro.
Wes:Just think about it. Like, what is it like an average NBA score?
Trey:1
Trey:I mean, it's just like 115 to 108 ish. 108 ish. Yeah. Somewhere around there.
Wes:So just literally score half.
Trey:Half. Half. Man, what a what a goat, man. Yeah. Like I said, man.
Wes:So random, like, a helicopter accident. Yeah. Like, what?
Trey:Weren't even supposed to fly. Kobe said, just go ahead and go. Apparently, they were running late for the tournament anyway. Hearing all the details.
Wes:I've can you imagine if you were running late being like the manager be like, yo, you gotta get here. It's like, oh, shit. No. Not worth it. Oh.
Wes:That'll be fucking 5 years. That doesn't seem like that long ago.
Trey:It don't, bro.
Wes:Damn. So Lebron,
Trey:you got

Trey:So Like I literally remember the night before, me and my overmate George, who's also a laker, we were watching the Lakers and the Sixers at, Torchy's in Denton. Right. And we're about to go out or whatever afterwards because that was the little pregame that we were doing. And literally, we got our like, the Lakers out there asked us, well, but that was the night that co that LeBron passed Kobe an all time scoring.
Wes:Right.
Trey:And then the very next day, Kobe passes.
Wes:LeBron kills Kobe. I'm just kidding.
