Speaker 1: feel like because people are starting to be like, if
Speaker 1: the Sun's win, then it's just going to be um,
Speaker 1: you know, asterisk. But I feel like this is I
Speaker 1: don't know, it feels right. We got the we got
Speaker 1: the best player in the league, the future best player
Speaker 1: people have been saying for a while and kind of
Speaker 1: ascending to the throne. Dropped fifty in the clinching game.
Speaker 1: It was pretty and in the third in the second
Speaker 1: half when like they were behind, he just went off
Speaker 1: and he's like, I shall just deliver this championship till Milwaukee. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it was yeah, I mean great to see, great
Speaker 1: to see. I'm happy for It was like his one
Speaker 1: week spot was that he's like a bad free throw shooter. Um.
Speaker 1: And then last night it was like it was like
Speaker 1: he was just doing that to be fair. He was
Speaker 1: shooting free throws poorly, just to like be fair. And
Speaker 1: last night he was like, all right, I'm I'm gonna
Speaker 1: actually make them. Sorry guys, but this one's too important.
Speaker 1: I'm only gonna missed two Yeah, like fourteen of sixteen.
Speaker 1: So he's uh, man like, if he's making free throws,
Speaker 1: it's it's over for the rest of the league. Um.
Speaker 1: But fun fun uh finals. It was a it was
Speaker 1: a fun playoffs overall. Uh. And I needed that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Good performance from the Suns too. I mean part of
Speaker 1: me was like I wouldn't I didn't have I was
Speaker 1: pretty neutral in this series. But um, I think with Janice,
Speaker 1: just like in his story and how even when when
Speaker 1: a lot of people are like, damn, he's gonna resign
Speaker 1: with the Bucks. Yeah, you could go anywhere. That just
Speaker 1: shows you man, It's just it's a beautiful thing to
Speaker 1: see somebody that loyalty and that belief and like just
Speaker 1: sort of because he felt such love from the city
Speaker 1: that he felt like an obligation to like honor their support.
Speaker 1: And then you end up with a with a championship.
Speaker 1: A lot of good Jana stories happening. Like there's a
Speaker 1: video clip of him signing autographs and a girl comes
Speaker 1: up and like eight or so is like, here, I
Speaker 1: drew these pictures of you, and she had drawn like
Speaker 1: a bunch of pictures, and he's like, I have to
Speaker 1: give you a hug and came around and gave her
Speaker 1: a hug and just and the girl was like weeping.
Speaker 1: But he just seems like a sweet dude. There's there's
Speaker 1: another story his rookie year. He was going to a
Speaker 1: Western Union to just like send all the money he
Speaker 1: was making back to Greece, and he realized after he
Speaker 1: sent it all back that he didn't have money for
Speaker 1: a cab home, and so he uh just started running
Speaker 1: home through Milwaukee in the freezing cold, and a fan
Speaker 1: like picked him up and drove him home. But yeah,
Speaker 1: kind of kind of a good good dude. Yeah, couldn't better,
Speaker 1: you know, I can ask for something better to happen
Speaker 1: to a nicer person where all you hear just fantastic.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so from that high to let let's get
Speaker 1: into some COVID ship Alabama that this is wild. I
Speaker 1: mean we we I've got tomorrow's episode about how like
Speaker 1: the map of the US has been like of where
Speaker 1: COVID is spiking, where COVID deaths and hospitalizations are spiking,
Speaker 1: really like breaks down by just like like a Republican voters. Yea.
Speaker 1: And yeah, Alabama is trending because there was this quote
Speaker 1: from a doctor there who was just talking about just
Speaker 1: how out of control it's becoming and how the you know,
Speaker 1: the hospital systems are being overwhelmed. And this tweet said
Speaker 1: Alabama doctor says this about her COVID patients, some of
Speaker 1: whom are dying. Quote one of the last things they
Speaker 1: do before they're intubated is beg me for the vaccine.
Speaker 1: I hold their hand and tell them that I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but it's too late. Yeah, I mean, that's that's heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: You don't want to have that, you really don't That
Speaker 1: real is like, I mean likes so again, Uh, the
Speaker 1: vaccinations are so important, especially with this delta variant because
Speaker 1: and the CDC they're saying, this is more this is
Speaker 1: just turning into an unvaccinated pandemic wave that we're seeing now.
Speaker 1: Um and yeah, and that sort of leads to the
Speaker 1: next thing that was training is the lambda variant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that this is the newest variant coming up after
Speaker 1: the delta lambda is has been discovered in a Texas hospital. Um,
Speaker 1: And we don't know what what this what the characteristics
Speaker 1: are of this, like what makes it different? But we
Speaker 1: have more, we have more information about delta lambda, the
Speaker 1: lambda variant. They've just what they do know is that
Speaker 1: it just has been quote associated with substantive rates of
Speaker 1: community transmission in multiple countries. Um. So I'm just waiting
Speaker 1: for the one that like makes little kids really sick.
Speaker 1: Like that's you know, my fucking nightmare is the like
Speaker 1: people people funk around for long enough that like this
Speaker 1: this thing keeps and then you know, uh, there's one
Speaker 1: one happens to affect young kids and then I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know what the funk I do. I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people do. That's just yeah, keep my
Speaker 1: kids inside. Yeah, I mean that's the thing is like
Speaker 1: you wonder what it will take for some people who
Speaker 1: are so adamant about their quote unquote immune systems being
Speaker 1: able to handle a disease that their immune systems have
Speaker 1: never encountered before. UM, Like one of the talking points
Speaker 1: like that's why a guy gave us immune systems. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't hear that's that's like one of the most
Speaker 1: popular refrains from anti vax people. They're like, I have
Speaker 1: an immune system. You're like, oh, well, excuse you. But
Speaker 1: you know that that that humorous man like, it comes
Speaker 1: with a cost. And that's the other thing is why
Speaker 1: I like, it's so important for as many people to
Speaker 1: get vaccinated so we don't have this like just the
Speaker 1: globe as a Petrie dish, for this thing to pop
Speaker 1: up and have all kinds of variants and again eventually
Speaker 1: just lead to more lockdowns and more distress and things
Speaker 1: like that. It's yeah, it's it's it's it's hard to
Speaker 1: feel optimistic at the moment, but especially when there's like
Speaker 1: so many solutions in front of us, UM and many
Speaker 1: people just don't choose to take them, or leadership isn't
Speaker 1: willing to share things like vaccines. Yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: now easier than ever to go get the fucking vaccine.
Speaker 1: You just go to It's easier than like getting a
Speaker 1: net zero boot CD like in the late nineties when
Speaker 1: they'd be like, hey, you want the Internet, get the
Speaker 1: CD rom. I remember them ships were everywhere. That's like
Speaker 1: what vaccines are, and you can go fucking anywhere. Please.
Speaker 1: It's easier to get it than not to get it
Speaker 1: at this point. Just go fucking get it. Um And
Speaker 1: while we're talking about a party the force that is
Speaker 1: fucking up our country right now, let's let's talk about
Speaker 1: why McCarthy's name is trending. UMU. They can do their
Speaker 1: own investigation, the Republicans that, sure, you can do your
Speaker 1: gin sixth investigation, when we're gonna do our own, bro,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna tell us, uh that this was Antifa exactly.
Speaker 1: Um you know, there's just something about him heat Again.
Speaker 1: We've talked about this over and over when we talked
Speaker 1: about this commission. Every time the Republicans have had a
Speaker 1: chance to do even like and they said, let's do
Speaker 1: an independent We don't even have to have members of
Speaker 1: either chamber preside over this. We can just in panel
Speaker 1: an independent commission to look at this. They said, no,
Speaker 1: an independent commission is two partisan. Huh. Then completely took
Speaker 1: a dump on like any kind of bipartisan deal for it.
Speaker 1: And now you just want to do your own things.
Speaker 1: So it's just like it's just a bunch of nonsense. Um,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I don't know, I don't know. We'll see
Speaker 1: what they come up with. I'm sure it'll be some
Speaker 1: really weird, tenuous nonsense. Strategically, it's the smart thing to
Speaker 1: do because it just continues to allow them to create
Speaker 1: their own realities that people are existing in. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll come back and
Speaker 1: talk about some bullshit. And we're back, and as promised,
Speaker 1: some bullshit. Uh. Specifically, Lakers fans are uh doing their
Speaker 1: thing the morning after the championship game is over. I'm
Speaker 1: seeing CP three to the Lakers. I'm seeing Russ to
Speaker 1: the Lakers. Um, this is just how the Lakers, Lakers
Speaker 1: fans operate. Is just like, Okay, now let's get back
Speaker 1: to how are we going to win the title? Okay,
Speaker 1: who's shattered? Who's shattered? And good? Hey? Come here, come here,
Speaker 1: come here, come here. You're you're good, but you're shattered.
Speaker 1: Come here. Um, look, Chris Paul, we had a chance
Speaker 1: for them years ago, but we know how that that time.
Speaker 1: So I'm good on that. I think, you know, uh,
Speaker 1: as much as I admire him, I don't know. We'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. I mean, he's a fantastic player, but
Speaker 1: Russell Russell Russell Westbrook would be very interesting considering he's
Speaker 1: a local boy. I don't like him. For you guys,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, uh, as somebody who also roots
Speaker 1: for the Lakers, I don't like. And also somebody who
Speaker 1: like watched him in the in the playoffs this year,
Speaker 1: just like for this modern league, like having him and
Speaker 1: Lebron and a d like all people who kind of
Speaker 1: need the ball around the hoop to really be effective.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't like that as a fit. But yeah, like,
Speaker 1: and this is all I think. This is just all
Speaker 1: obviously fantasy projections, um, because I think you know, I mean, granted, yeah,
Speaker 1: a point guard would be good. And I think that's
Speaker 1: the reason why these names are popping up, because everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 1: they're looking for a veteran point guard, and they're like,
Speaker 1: what about these ones? Yeah, Um, well we'll see, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: damn would be amazing. Obviously I don't would love God,
Speaker 1: but I mean that's that's the pipe dream that we're
Speaker 1: not saying out loud because we don't jinx um. Just
Speaker 1: the hitting the pipe dream right there. Uh So what
Speaker 1: one new development from uh climate change is that that's
Speaker 1: like a little bit more interesting. Uh, you know, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun discovery period. Russia's perma frost as melting.
Speaker 1: So we're about to find out some find some new stuff.
Speaker 1: They're finding like all these uh you know, uh mammoth
Speaker 1: graveyards and ship It's so Russia's perma frost. Russia's soil
Speaker 1: uh is like of the landmass has been frozen like forever,
Speaker 1: Like the soil is just frozen, uh and hasn't not
Speaker 1: been frozen for many a century, and now we are
Speaker 1: going to see it start to melt. Um. This is
Speaker 1: the plot to Uh actually I don't want to spoil that,
Speaker 1: so I'll just say it's a plot to multiple science
Speaker 1: fiction movies. Yeah, man, I don't know, We're we're fucking
Speaker 1: around and about to find out what's what's happening. Who
Speaker 1: knows what kind of organisms and bacteria and things are.
Speaker 1: Also they're not just the fun stuff, but like truly
Speaker 1: you know, oh my god, I don't even know, um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, here we go. I always thought like as
Speaker 1: a kid, I'm like, man, is the boarding boarding part
Speaker 1: of history? Right? But this other stuff, I'm like, yo,
Speaker 1: were in the fuck? What the we're on? Like we're
Speaker 1: about to ride the wave? Y'all. The nineties was so
Speaker 1: funny because it was like science is boring. They already
Speaker 1: have stuff like figured out right right right, Like, dude,
Speaker 1: let's just focus on pushing each other in shopping carts
Speaker 1: off of like loading docks at a grocery store for
Speaker 1: fun and tape it. You know. Oh man, what a trailer? Yeah. Um.
Speaker 1: And finally, the U S women's national team um was
Speaker 1: defeated in women's soccer by three goals. They were on
Speaker 1: a forty four match unbeaten streak and they got like smoked. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Megan Rippino said, we got bopped, got bopped. That's said
Speaker 1: that it is what it is. I mean, yeah, again,
Speaker 1: the Olympics have started already, so uh that's happening. Um yeah.
Speaker 1: And I think you know, many people are more just
Speaker 1: like nervous to be like, will everyone be okay in
Speaker 1: four to six weeks. What's going to happen in four
Speaker 1: to six weeks? What is this going to look like
Speaker 1: in four to six weeks when everyone more on that later? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: come on, the winners and losers, Um, the shirts an't
Speaker 1: going to sell themselves, Okay? Is is women's soccer a
Speaker 1: little bit like basketball in that like America just kind
Speaker 1: of got good first, but now like the rest of
Speaker 1: the world is sort of catching up. And Well, it's
Speaker 1: funny because there's a book called Soccer Nomics that sort
Speaker 1: of talks about, like what why the US women's national
Speaker 1: team became so dominant? And it's because in the like
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties, soccer was like mostly marketed for girls
Speaker 1: and in the US, Yeah, in the US, and so
Speaker 1: that became a sport that a lot of girls were
Speaker 1: encouraged to play, while other countries, like the powerhouse is
Speaker 1: we're still very much like it's about the men's soccer,
Speaker 1: like this is a boy's sport kind of thing, and
Speaker 1: sort of that that just slight short of tweak created
Speaker 1: generations of like really good players, like the evolution started
Speaker 1: much quicker. Um, But I think but the thing is
Speaker 1: with these other countries, soccer is already so much a
Speaker 1: part of the culture. It didn't take long for that
Speaker 1: to that same thing to happen as well, because like
Speaker 1: innately soccer was an interest in those countries. Um, but
Speaker 1: that was sort of like the edge that the US
Speaker 1: had sort of going and especially with like those dominant
Speaker 1: teams in like the late nineties and things, when people
Speaker 1: like what the fuck is going on here? Um, And
Speaker 1: it was just sort of kind of out of sexism
Speaker 1: to be like here, you can have this sport, right yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but now I mean, like, I mean, women's soccer is
Speaker 1: so fun to watch, Like it's really it's good to watch.
Speaker 1: I have women's soccer and women's tennis. I think I
Speaker 1: enjoy more like than the men's sport. Not to be sexist,
Speaker 1: to be against men, but yeah, Jack just better. It's
Speaker 1: just a better product. Um, it's just a better product.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Like it's just a level Places is better. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's more fun to watch. Like people who talk like
Speaker 1: that and like turn their brains off to other sports
Speaker 1: because they're just adamant. It's like the level Places is different.
Speaker 1: Like anyone take take a second to watch a game
Speaker 1: of anything w n B, a WSL, whatever, You're gonna
Speaker 1: find that it's it's really fun to watch, especially if
Speaker 1: you've played a sport and you can appreciate the skill
Speaker 1: it takes to play a sport at a certain level.
Speaker 1: So please, please, let's let's open our hearts, but also
Speaker 1: equal pay for them. They need, they need to be
Speaker 1: paid equally. Alright, those are the things that are trending
