But it wasn't just all fun and games. We also plunged headfirst into some serious sports talk. Debating over the potential of Baltimore clinching the division title, we found ourselves knee-deep in discussions about sports contracts. We dissected the contracts of Justin Herbert, Jalen Brown, and Joe Burrow, and even speculated about Russell Wilson, Trevor Lawrence, and Josh Allen being overpaid. If you're a sports enthusiast or someone who enjoys a spirited discussion, you'll find our banter fascinating.
But hey, we're not just about sports, we also have a penchant for cooking shows and food-related content. We're suckers for shows like Chef Kuso, Chef Dad, and Randy Santel, and we absolutely love 'The Bear'. It's the perfect show that caters to foodies and non-foodies alike. We wrapped up our time together reminiscing about our less-than-perfect hotel stays and debating the value of the Jalen Brown contract and the potential of Boston Celtics players. So, brew yourself a cup of coffee and join us in reminiscing this roller-coaster ride of a weekend.

Jim.
Speaker 2:Jesus Christ. All right, so let's, let's just start there, you just go home from the gym. This is perfect little start. Welcome to the Know what's Drugs in the Podcast. If this is your first time, it will probably be your last time, and we are brought to you today by Alpine Pub and Grill, located in the heart. Great food, great time, great atmosphere. How's it going, Big O? How are you doing?
Speaker 3:I'm doing good. You know, obviously happy to see you boys and, you know, very curious to hear how the how the weekend went, because I mean I sent a quick message out on like Friday and then got a hey, we're alive, like Sunday night. So I'm assuming it was fun. Can't wait to hear it. Everyone looks like they're in good shape. Can't wait for the weigh in to see how this weekend is going to treat everybody. But yeah, let's kick it over to the Big D who's fresh at the gym Deena, how you doing?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm just trying to recoup after that weekend. You know, get back to the swing of things. I'm good. Yeah, just I might as well get into it.
Speaker 1:Prince George, british Columbia. The wedding of 176, aka 7-6. It was busy, man. It's the last two years I've seen chaps for a wedding in Prince George, british Columbia. It has been busy, it's. There's not a lot of downtime there, we're just, we're up and at them, we're up early. Those, those three kids of his, are up early. Therefore, mr Road Doctor, as I like to call me, is up early as well. All the stomp and a lot of screaming, a lot of that, the, that, the stuff. So yeah, it was good.
Speaker 1:Wedding went off without a hitch. There was a few rain showers. Chaps and I proceeded to get quite drunk and went back to his place at 2 30 and opened up a bag of chippies and chilled for a bit longer. But I was hurting on Sunday. Let me tell you what I was hurting. I barely ate until like eight o'clock at night, but I made it home. It was good to see my guy Chaps and and his beautiful family. Good to see some old friends I've seen in a while. And yeah, didn't quite follow. The diet Boosed quite a good amount. So we'll see how the weigh in goes tomorrow, week three. But I need to lose 10 pounds in three weeks and that is going to be hard.
Speaker 3:So it's nice to get to see your kids every once in a while. I do. Geez what Look daddy's home.
Speaker 1:And then last time one of the younger one liked me more than the older one, and this one. This time the older one liked me more than the younger one. So I don't know which way is up anymore.
Speaker 2:Let me tell you. Let me tell you when I, when Dean is saying we got really drunk, he is kind of understating, I think, how drunk maybe I was at this wedding. So there was at one point. I'll explain everything. Let's just get into it. You know what? Fuck it, let's get into it. Okay, this is how the day started. We went to the farmers market at like nine am, dean and I and the two girls, luna and Payton, let mommy have some some, just baby time. So everyone thinks we're the gay couple at the farmers market, for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we were all holding hands, all four of us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're all four of us Hold hands so.
Speaker 1:I'm like man we are the progressive.
Speaker 2:Prince George family. Right here we were the modern family. It was a beautiful, beautiful thing. I take Dean to a very good coffee shop where the, the, the bar, the the lady at the till likes to throw a little smiles my way every now and then, so took him there, but she was smiling at him more than me so I got jealous really quick. So we had to take him out of there right away. And then he proceeded to buy a couple, build a bunnies for the girls, because they wanted some teddies and they wanted something from their uncle. Dean wants to be the, the, the crisp uncle 20 type guy. So every time he comes over, give him a 20 type idea. This time it was bunnies.
Speaker 2:And then I got bamboozled so I went. I needed a shirt, okay. So I went. I went into the store to buy just a button up shirt, because it was kind of hot, it was kind of muggy out. So I'm like, let's get, let's just get like a, you know, like a nice button up T-shirt style thing. You know I'm talking about first.
Speaker 2:So I go in there, try it on. I'm like, oh, this is a nice shirt, it feels nice, I feel good. And I look at myself and I'm feeling myself. Now I'm like, oh, I look pretty good in this shirt. And then the ladies like I think this would look good with blue pants. So I'm all right, let's get some pants. So I'm like, okay, 36, 36 are my pants size, that's what they wear. Okay, so, they're not to be on a big guy. They have no 36, 36, but they got a 34 waist. So I'm like I'm like, all right, let's just. Let's just see what happens here. Put the 34s on me and, boy, when I say, my confidence shot to a whole nother level I did not know existed in me anymore. It definitely did. I was looking at myself, I was feeling myself, made Dean take some pictures of me in the store to send to my wife and then Dean's like hey, you definitely need shoes.
Speaker 2:So then you know, pick up a pair of shoes. And then he's like, hey, you need a belt, buy a belt, get socks too. So I bought everything I wore at the wedding that day, get up to the till. I'm like this is probably going to be like 400 bucks, maybe 500 at the most $775 for this fucking suit. And I look good though I had a nice little glow up, I looked pretty good. And then we get to the wedding and it's nothing but Ryan ginger, ryan ginger, ryan ginger, ryan ginger, ryan ginger. Bottle of wine Ryan wine, a couple of years.
Speaker 2:A couple shots of rum, a couple shots of fireball and then, at about 1 am, maybe 12. There was all that. They had fruit wine at the wedding, okay, so there was a lot of bottles still on the table. I started to go in the tables and just grabbing the fruit wine, going on to the dance floor and hammering the fruit like a whole bottle of fruit wine into me, just going off, just going, just going for it. So the next day it was not an enjoyable experience waking up Apparently Chaps's wife.
Speaker 1:We'll call her Brianne.
Speaker 3:Dear baby mama.
Speaker 1:Apparently there was like doorbell camp of like me running into the door and we got home at night. Let me tell you a little funny anecdote. This is how committed Chaps is to his new health kick. So Friday night we tried to go to a few different places for dinner Full full, full, full full. The night's popping off, so we get a spot at Red Robin. Okay. So we're at Red Robin and Chaps, being his healthy self, orders salmon. Nice, All right. So we're like okay, salmon, that's cool. I guess I wonder how that's going to taste. And he gets it. And he's like this is the worst salmon I've ever had in my life. I'm like what do you expect? You're at Red Robin? It's a burger place. What the hell is wrong with you? So that happened. And I'm like what did you expect, Gordon Ramsay? This ain't my airs play, Dude, shut up. There's no way of that shit. Exactly, it's a restaurant.
Speaker 3:It is a freaking. It's a burger.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is a burger joint, it's a burger. Even a burger joint can have a nice frozen piece of salmon on rice that doesn't taste like garbage. What they gave me is an overcooked by probably 15 minutes no exaggeration piece of salmon with steamed over steamed broccoli. That it was all trash Like. It was the single worst meal I have ever had in my entire life.
Speaker 3:Chances are like they pulled those frozen veggies and that frozen piece of salmon and they put it on a little plate and they put that thing in the microwave. And the thing is they forgot about that thing because they never use a fucking microwave, because no one ever orders the goddamn mother fucking salmon. They're too busy flipping birds, dropping fries, getting chicken nuggies going, whatever.
Speaker 3:And so I fucking forgot about that piece of Simone and those overcooked steamed veggies. And they're like oh fuck, remember that giant white dude that like ordered this random dish that we haven't served and blow the dust off of it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, we should probably go serve them now. And that's what happened. You're fucking overcooked fish buddy. I understand we're on the health kick, but like that salmon you sacrificed for you blew away with all the booze and you might as well just got exactly.
Speaker 1:And there was midnight pizza at the wedding dominoes, that was a treat. I'm not much of a drunk eater, but you know we needed it.
Speaker 1:It was pizza. It was pizza, so I'm having it. That's just come on. If pizza's put right in front of my face, I'm going to have it, regardless of how hungry I am or what time it is, or I only had two pieces. I could have had more, but yeah, it was. It was a ride. That's why Chaps was like do you want to work out? I'm like hell, no man, I'm going to eat like crap and drink.
Speaker 2:I worked out both days, both days.
Speaker 1:And then I weighed myself when I go home, like oh no.
Speaker 3:Did you guys do away and before, just have like an idea of what you were sitting at.
Speaker 1:I waited on Wednesday. Right, I sent it to you guys, but that was a bit supplemented by the fact that I was sick the day before. So after our podcast last Monday, I started not feeling very good, and then Tuesday was a day I'll tell you that much I had food poisoning. So Wednesday I was back at it, but I gained all that weight back and then some. And then yesterday, which was Monday, I took like 37 Ps and I'm like kind of back to normal now. So we'll see how we weigh in tomorrow.
Speaker 2:So I weighed 234.8, I think on Wednesday or no, on Thursday, no Friday. I put in my weigh in on Friday and uh, and yeah, you know, right now I'm not going to tell you guys what I am, it's good, okay, I think you'll be quite surprised tomorrow.
Speaker 3:Shaps coming into the solid 230. 230.
Speaker 2:No, definitely not 230. I'll be not going to lie, I'll be lucky to be under 235. But from how that weekend went, uh, pretty, pretty happy with the progress that that did not proceed like that. That was made over the weekend and the trip to Alabama Bench 225. That was pretty wicked, never done before. So I felt pretty strong. Um and yeah, I think it's probably time to uh to do this.
Speaker 1:No instructions, I don't really feel like it, like your wiener.
Speaker 3:Oh, let me just get that right in the uh, the old camera shot, that's my thought I'm sipping on some red wine.
Speaker 2:The primary use for Bitcoin is to get more money.
Speaker 1:Oh, man the Cougar, yeah, I'm into that. Hello, this fucking wall hardly like. I cannot start this at ease. I cannot risk it. That's how I go to the bathroom. This is exactly how there was work running here. Whatever, it is so good what it do, baby, well done.
Speaker 2:I just kinda like it with him? What is with that? See that? Oh, awesome, there you go. Welcome to. No Instructions Needed again. Today we are brought to you by Alpine Pub and Grill, located in Prince George up in the heart Highland area. Great food, great time, great atmosphere. So, yeah, how was your weekend, man? What did you get up to? Did you do anything fun, like what's going on in Dadyville there in Toronto?
Speaker 3:This was like a beach weekend, so we spent some time at the beach, played in the water. It was pretty fucking hot over here Just trying to enjoy the summer rays. So definitely not out enjoying life, the way that YouTube boys sort of put your dancing shoes on. But yeah, now just enjoy the nice weather, taking the kids to the beach, building sand castles. Having my son destroy other people's sand castles Kind of an asshole. But hey, listen man, he's going to do what he's got to do and as long as he's leaving my sand castles alone, we are Gucci. Now, how was 7-6? Obviously, you know, been around, I've certainly seen him a few times. How was Friend of the podcast, friend of the podcast, that friend, close friend of the podcast? How was the wedding and how did Brie enjoy herself?
Speaker 2:So Brie was like the wedding planner, so she was kind of busy for a long time. But 7-6 looked like a stud, his groomsmen all looked like studs, his wife looked absolutely gorgeous, the bridesmaids looked gorgeous and I think he was pretty focused on everyone having a good time. I think that he got caught in that wedding trap a little bit of trying to make sure everyone's having a good time and everyone gets caught in that wedding trap. Every single bride and groom get caught in it and even though when you tell them, hey, just go out there and enjoy it for yourself, no one listens and that's. But they'll pay that forward to someone else and maybe eventually that line someone will have a calmer time at the wedding.
Speaker 2:But it looked like he was having fun. I mean, he definitely was pretty drunk Not as drunk as I thought he was going to be. Not going to lie, I would argue I might have been the drunkest person at the wedding Other than one guy. Maybe that was definitely puking everywhere. But yeah, he looked good. It looked like he was having a good time. We didn't see him that much, to be honest.
Speaker 1:I talked to him a good amount, did you? Yeah, surprisingly, I didn't think I talked to him at all, but I talked to him a good amount. He was in my vicinity sometimes. We shot the poop. By the time we left there were only maybe 25 people left. 30 people left. We left at 2 am.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I talked to him quite a bit, but yeah, man, it was a good wedding Overall. Good, Really funny speeches, heartfelt speeches. They ran out of whiskey, which Chaps and I were not impressed. We were not impressed. I'm like I'll have a Ryan Ginger. They're like we're out.
Speaker 3:I'm like, excuse me, Someone explained to me how this happens. Now, I mean, obviously, chaps, you're a marriage man. Dean may not speak on this because he's a gentleman and does not like to kiss and tell. But from a wingman's perspective, what was the lady situation like?
Speaker 2:Are you asking me?
Speaker 3:I'm asking you because I don't think these are going to spill the beans.
Speaker 2:I could get in trouble with this answer, though there were some very attractive females at this wedding, all right, and I'm sure that Dean noticed them in his proximity as well.
Speaker 1:I noticed everything.
Speaker 2:He did not get to kiss any of the beautiful women, including my wife. I didn't even get to kiss my wife, and you know of that, I know of. But yeah, there was some. If you're coming in from out of town, you'd say there was some local talent at the wedding.
Speaker 3:Oh good, times for him Very nice, very nice.
Speaker 2:You look at these eyes and you know I'm telling the truth.
Speaker 1:No, no, he's telling the truth. I think most of them were spoken for by the looks of it. The nice little ones here usually was a gentleman by their side. I didn't want to rock any boats. I'm terrible with women anyways.
Speaker 3:Perfect mixture. You know who's great with women A guy who just got paid a shit ton of money from your favorite football club, deena. The first shoot, a drop of the major quarterback extensions your boy just got paid. Does that scare you a little bit as far as like what his production is going to be going now new season, or do you think that they'll be right where they're supposed to, like a mediocre wildcard team?
Speaker 1:Okay for one, shut your butt. A charge rule. They're going to win the division and you'll see. Okay, there was actually something. I forgot what it was. Oh, at the beginning of the baseball season I said Baltimore might be very, very good and I think both of you were like, no, they'll be good, but they won't be very good. They are very, very good. So I'm going to say it, call it, mark it. Whoever has the notebook, the Chargers are going to win the division title. Sorry, pat Mahomes. Harbert is going to have a great season. He might not be MVP, but he's going to have a really good season and we'll see what happens from there. But they'll probably blow it in the playoffs as they do. That's pretty huge. But yeah, I'm not too worried at all, man, he is a great quarterback. They got a really good team I would be motivated to do my best and they got some new receivers, some young blood in the draft. Not too much to worry about here. All right.
Speaker 3:So now we wait on Joe Burrow because I feel like he's like the next man on the clock to get more, and I think he'll get more. But I think I was talking. I was talking to a friend, because not just you know, justin Herbert got signed, but then obviously, if you go to the other association, jalen Brown just got paid and he's now going to be the highest paid basketball player and he's like you know, does he deserve to be? I mean no, does Joe Burrow deserve to be the highest paid football player? No, but it's a time of when contracts come up now and salary caps are rising, that the next guys up for the most part, who are elite, are going to get paid as elite quarterbacks. Patrick Mahomes will then potentially reset that one.
Speaker 3:Football is a little bit different from the NBA with like supermax contracts, but we're seeing like a shit ton of money go out the door to a lot of these athletes.
Speaker 3:And then you have the starving running backs, who are some of the heart and souls of these teams that listen, I wish I could get paid $11 million and I'm not trying to try to downplay it, but in comparison to what their coworkers and colleagues are earning across different sports and within their own league.
Speaker 3:Sake one, barclay, getting paid $11 million a season seems sort of criminal when you look at what that guy means to his team how much so. So chap said Joe's going to get 400 million, probably plus, and I probably agree, although they got to pay some other guys. So he might be the type to be like hey, give me some, but like maybe keep 15 million to get, go get T Higgins. What do we think the splashiest contract we're going to see from a guy who doesn't deserve it across? I'd say the NBA and the NFL. It's probably the two biggest contracts outside of maybe baseball, because Otani is going to get like 500 million most likely. What do we think is going to be the biggest contract we see and who's going to be like the most overrated guy who gets a large sum of money?
Speaker 2:Jaylen Brown is the most overpaid player in NBA history. That's where I will start with that. Sure he is as that's. That's going to be the worst contract that he is not worth. Get that bag good for him. He's not worth it, not even close to being worth it. Most over type, overrated team of all time, never done anything, anyways. The next then.
Speaker 2:It's true that the Celtics franchise, back to that one, the Celtics franchise gets away with having, like sub part, like like only winning one championship. Since what? 1980s, let's say. And everyone's like, oh my God, kevin Garnett, ray Allen, paul Pierce were so good. It's like motherfucker they were. They had one good, they won one championship. It was a failure. And you have one year. Don't all. Pierce was a failure, they were all failures. I hate that franchise. But the next big person to get paid who's going to be the biggest waste of money? That's the question. Yeah, it's going to be. It's. It's going to be one of the quarterbacks that just end up. It's probably Russell Wilson. I don't know if anyone will surpass Russell Wilson's terribleness that he just signed up for.
Speaker 1:I'm going to say a huge overpay to and it kills me to say this, it kills me to say this, it's already happened Fred Van Fleet, way too much money, way, way, way too much money. And but in terms of future prospects, I'm going to say Trevor Lawrence, yeah, good one. Because they're they're going to want their franchise quarterback. They've never really had a franchise quarterback like they thought they might have it. And Blake Bortles, all them. Years ago he had a good year and he won a playoff game and I think they're just going to s's you know what over it. So I'm going to say Trevor Lawrence, I don't know if he's ever going to be that good. He's going to be good. I don't know if he's going to be worth the money he's going to make eventually.
Speaker 3:I think it's Josh Allen, and I think Josh Allen, I mean, he's not going to get paid for another couple of years, but I think by the time that his contract comes up he's gonna be a guy who hasn't won anything. He may win an MVP before the time he Signs that next contract. Well, buffalo has got nothing else to do but to give that guy his money, and I don't think it's gonna amount to anything. I think the window from for Buffalo to win Is as small as it has been over the last ten years. I don't just don't think that they're gonna be good enough to do it.
Speaker 3:If you look at the quality of quarterback in the AFC, it's just burrows getting better. Mahomes is Mahomes, lawrence is on his way up, herbie's gonna be there, um, so I mean like well, marge's got paid. So I mean I think the Baltimore Ravens are better now than they have been over the last Four to five years. I think they have weapons. I think they could be a team who knows what's going on with Kenny Pickett and then I hate to say it, but the masseuse loving dude, that team, like he's not bad, like I might, a year after shaking off the rust, be able to come back and make the Browns relevant, and I do. I got Josh Allen falls out of that category of top five quarterback very quickly, but they're gonna pay him like he's the guy I.
Speaker 1:Got two as well for you guys from all over Justin Fields, yes, and Trey Lance, oh.
Speaker 2:Trey Lansing a lot of me again.
Speaker 1:Trey, if he has like a halfway decent year, he's gonna get paid.
Speaker 3:It's not gonna get paid. 0% chance. Trey Lansing paid.
Speaker 2:I see what you're saying. Yes, I'm sorry, I do agree with you.
Speaker 1:I think if he has halfway these potentials get paid.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But he has.
Speaker 2:Probably QB3. Right now it goes, it goes Purdy, and then it goes Sam Darnold, who will be decent in that offense. That specific offense is very good for Donald, but he won't. It's not like he's like Taylor Heineke now almost at this point. But you'll be, I love Heineke. Yeah, I do too, but again, there's never got a grossly overpaid twice. But Like Nick Foles is is a good example of a guy that got overpaid multiple, multiple times. I mean a rod Nah, a rocker's pretty good man.
Speaker 3:He's pretty good 50 mill a year. Oh.
Speaker 2:Oh, aaron Rodgers, sorry, yeah, like a Rod, I mean it's like Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3:That's a Rodgers is not very good last year.
Speaker 2:But yeah, you know I'm looking at the camera. You know I look good boys.
Speaker 1:Oh my god, that was my whole, that was my whole weekend, yeah.
Speaker 3:Oh hey, listen man, let the man feel, let the man, he deserves it. He's been putting in work. You know, pants are fitting him, that haven't fit him since high school. He's feeling good, man and listen, you know what chaps you do. Look great, brother, so you know it's funny.
Speaker 2:I I kind of brag about my, my weight a little bit, but yet whenever he says, oh, your wife is looking pretty good today, like I just let that roll. I just just let it roll. Can't take one weekend of me being like, oh yeah, pretty good, I had the best glow up at the wedding, let's put it, let's just say it. Let's say we go everybody.
Speaker 3:That's it. You were killing it bud. You're killing it Dean, to listen. I think the Baltimore Orioles are A player away from being legitimate and if they don't make a splash I Don't think this is gonna hold up. And I love Baltimore because I got half those young studs on my fantasy baseball teams that I've been holding on to for years and they're like some of their guys still haven't Truly made a huge difference, like they're, they're hoping, but they creeped up on a list of like top three potential landing spots of show hey Otani by next week.
Speaker 1:So I think you're sitting about Baltimore. Sorry, jules, I interrupted you. It's okay. They were so shitty for so long that they got an insane farm system. So you're saying they're a player away, they are in very good shape to be able to get that player and be able to table the best offer for anyone, like Jackson holidays, like the best prospect in baseball, right, and I think they're preseason rank. I'm just googling it right now. I think their preseason rank for their farm system was number one in all of baseball.
Speaker 3:Well, that's because Adley wasn't in the on the Major League roster right.
Speaker 1:I was last year?
Speaker 3:No, but he got called up in September but he wasn't on the roster to Until this June he got called up, and Gunnar Henderson might even be better than Adley.
Speaker 3:Easy now.
Speaker 3:So here's the thing when it comes to baseball, it's not one for one. The reason Adley is gonna get his stars because he's doing it at a position that you don't expect offense from Right. Like Adley being a catcher who can switch it and being like the stud that he is is like Joe Maurer. Ask, joe Maurer wasn't like a Hall of Fame. Well, I mean, he might be a Hall of Famer based on this position, but he wasn't a guy who, like, if he was playing in the outfield would be as studly as he was. But Adley's doing it at a position where you don't get a top, like a ton of guys Salvador Perez, pete Alonso but he moved to first base, yeah, but I mean, but again, he wasn't considered the prospect of as a catcher. Right like Pete moved to first base, like rookie ball, he was playing first base. So Adley Gunnar's a stud. Ryan Mountcastle, grace Rodriguez, like, like there are guys who are just super studly on this Baltimore Orioles team and I really think that if they go and get show hey who they're not going to resign, but we'll use him to win a championship. I think would be really good for baseball.
Speaker 3:Now a quick Rebuttal to chaps your comments about Jalen Brown. I Don't think. I don't think it's a Jason a Jalen Brown problem. It's an NBA problem and we see this happen every single year. Fred Van Vleet was a good example Dean brought up and the NBA problem is if we don't pay our guy, somebody else will pay him that money, and that's what the, the Raptors fell into. We're not. We offered him a hundred million dollar contract last Offseason. He turned it down and if the Raptors had resigned Fred Van Vleet, it would have been a grotesque overpay.
Speaker 3:But the here's the thing if you don't sign your guy, someone else will. And a guy who is talented as Jalen Brown yes, he's a top 20 player in the NBA. He might even be a top 15, depending on who you ask. If Boston didn't give it to him, somebody else would have. And to let him go is a bigger problem, because now at least that contract becomes significantly more tradable. Then, if Boston did not sign him, he signed to a longer deal, gets more years. That becomes way more lucrative that if they want to go out and trade a guy, like For Damian Lillard, as has been rumored Portland way more receptive now to take back Jalen Brown because he's got more years and that money, even though it's like three hundred and five million dollars in three years under the new cap, as it keeps going up, it's not gonna be as bad as it is signed as of. Today, like today is the worst day of that contract because of where we are. Next year not as bad, the year after not as bad.
Speaker 2:I just don't know why we're paying these Celtics players. I'm sorry, I just think they're super overrated. Like I get what you're saying. It's it's a league problem because it's cap. Yeah, I Like. I'm just saying like they're. I just hate how much everyone's like owing and all I'm about this Celtic, the Celtics team. That never was, they never, they never were. Everyone kept saying, oh my god, they're gonna be so good forever, forever, forever, forever. And they improved me wrong. Go out there, win it this year. Then they won't, because that's not what they do. But I don't know, I just I think there's, I think they're actually a Severely over, but they got Chris taps. Oh yeah, perfect, he's gonna do so Good, he's like the. He's like it was his nickname the unicorn. That's the perfect nickname for Christoph, because you never see a unicorn ever, so that's so. That's why it's a perfect nickname for you something around?
Speaker 3:Yeah, he had a good year that year.
Speaker 2:No, he wasn't that good. He got traded, so.
Speaker 3:Why you got traded. Because that team blew up. Right, they traded Bradley Beal. Let's not, let's not.
Speaker 2:He's a unicorn, no one ever sees them, and that he may or may not be real. So that team sucks proved me wrong. Yeah, they might win 60 games the regular season. They're gonna make it to like the third round or second round and lose again to the heat, which would be the heat of the most underrated team, the NBA Underrated coach in the NBA. I don't think so at all.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's starting to get told me that's bullshit, is underrated.
Speaker 2:When everybody and their grandma says he's the best coach Would you rather have Damian Lillard or or Eric's polsha Right now, if Portland said, give me, give me your head coach? Oh, yeah, right, I think I would too.
Speaker 3:I'd rather have a very small, sure, yeah, I mean, but he's not underrated, though, that's the only thing I mean. He's like yeah, he's super ready. He's like beloved around the league is like the number one, like next to pop and it took a long time. I mean, I don't like that of course, because, like his first five years in the NBA, was coaching LeBron Dwayne, whidden, chris Bosch.
Speaker 2:How many NBA champions has he been to?
Speaker 3:seven and what he's like.
Speaker 2:Five in Miami for. So they went to four straight. So the same you after. So six, yeah, six.
Speaker 3:Yeah, wow, and like that's. And to be very fair, I mean Spolster also got a shot because Pat Riley is an excellent executive, because Many other GM's would have crumbled under the pressure. When LeBron James comes to your office as the newly signed Acquisition that says, hey, I don't want this guy here anymore. Many GM's would have, would have gotten rid of him. But Pat Riley with his savvy was like no, no, we're good, this is my guy and that's I mean because he gets fired. Who knows if, if Spolstra ends up having the impact or leash to be as good as he is now, right, like Spolster might be the best coach in the NBA, legacy-wise pop is still gonna be the guy until he retires. But I mean I don't know if you can name another like a better coach in the air expulsion the NBA right now. I don't think it's possible.
Speaker 2:I think I thought Nick nurse was going that way and then kind of fell apart in Toronto the end, not like it didn't fall apart to like where he should have got fired, I don't think. But it it just it was time for a change. But yeah, eric Spolster is by far the best coach. I think easily area. You know he's better off now, I think he gets the most point.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I agree. It'd be interesting to see what pop does over the next three years. I think you just signed like a five year contract. There's five years, five years.
Speaker 3:I think it'll be interesting to see what he does with Wemby in the early years, if he can Figure a way to to make it work with Wemby and they. They got shit ton of money. Like don't sleep on San Antonio for not being able to make the playoffs this year, like they've got a lot of room to do things. But you know, in pop we trust. I love pop and I want to see this. This is gonna be a very exciting year for San Antonio basketball and last five years has been brutal.
Speaker 2:Anyone see Oppenheimer this weekend?
Speaker 1:I was with. No, you know, I didn't see that.
Speaker 2:I don't know what you do one fucking Sundays Um or Barbie, no on Sundays I curl up on the couch and wish I was dead.
Speaker 3:I've heard half decent reviews for both movies, heard Oppenheimer's dope, and Barbie was generational.
Speaker 2:I believe I heard yes, I read a review saying that oppiver is the best movie of the 21st century.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm and a walk away for best movie of the year and doesn't really matter what comes out next. And yet Her Barbie's really good too. What I don't like is this is on Twitter if you say you don't like the Barbie movie, you're automatically a terrible, terrible person. If you say you don't like Oppenheimer, you know nothing about history. Like, people are allowed to have opinions on whether they like it or not. That doesn't make them racist, that doesn't make them stupid. That doesn't make them sexist. That it just you know what you're left now if you go out there and say, oh, because of this, I don't like this movie, because, right, a person, that's completely different. But maybe I didn't like Barbie because it's a fucking musical that I'm allowed to not like Barbie because of that. And I'm not saying I won't like it, I'm just saying, like people need to chill the fuck out. That's one of my biggest piss piss offices. You're not allowed to have an opinion anymore on anything without 45 different fucking groups of people getting mad at you. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1:I Concur. There's a lot of good movies out right now. Apparently mission impossible. Supposed to slap Barbie Oppenheimer like I haven't seen any of these. I haven't even seen spider-man or the flash or or other shit. I need to really set my game up. I haven't had pop go, I only saw Transformers and that wasn't bad.
Speaker 2:So More the story, more popcorn, less weight loss you also don't have an excuse not to see these movies. You have no kids. You can go to the street by yourself, like you have zero theater by myself.
Speaker 1:Like I'm Stephen Glansburg. You got that super bad reference. Oh no, I did not. You want me to eat dessert, dessert alone. Like I'm fucking Stephen Glansburg. It's like a movie by myself on it's on the teeth me. I'm like, oh, oh, just me.
Speaker 2:You've never went to a movie by yourself.
Speaker 1:Actually, one time I did, I'll tell you the story. So I said, I said we're roommate. I said we're roommate and and we still have read across it from a theater. But it was like a shitty theater that like only showed good movies, like after they were kind of out of like the main cycle and Like kind of it was like the secondary run for them, where they weren't making nearly as much box office cash. But anyways, my roommate spent a Like a month in Europe and he had a girlfriend. So he got back from Europe and he was like yo, I'm gonna need the apartment because blank is coming over. So I said, no problemo, I know what, I know what that means. So I did in fact go to the theater across the street, bought a ticket for X-Men dark Phoenix and watched that ish by myself and Unfortunately the movie was pretty crappy and or actually, no, I'll rephrase that it was really crappy and I Wanted to leave but I couldn't because I knew my roommate was having romantic time.
Speaker 1:So I Got it out, that movie terrible. And then I came home and they were done. So that was only. I've seen a movie myself. So what was the movie? Yet?
Speaker 2:X-Men dark Phoenix terrible movie terrible that guy owes you dinner, like that guy owes you big time because he was eating something himself.
Speaker 3:Um, Actually so fun fact. Fun fact this is for chaps. I read this like report from a less than a reputable website Barstool. That. That less reputable that might be more reputable than them when it talks about men's facial hair Mmm, mainly the facial hair close to the old lipperoos that when.
Speaker 3:Men's facial hair in certain aspects change color in that general area as a result of Lots of Lady Nectar being in and around those spots, and that Lady Nectar does tend to change facial hair color in said area. So Looking amongst us, dean always keeps it clean. Shout out, deaner. I clearly need to maybe Indulge in the Lady Nectar a little bit more, but chap seems to be doing Quite all right so far. So I thought you might appreciate that. Chap see it when does a badge of honor tell Marie. And then you know, every once in a while, when you see another dude you know with Facial hair that is a different color in the facial region, just give him a nod, just be like you know there will. It's badge of honor. I know what you did, buddy.
Speaker 1:You are, everyone's read this report from the not so reputable website. Is what you're saying?
Speaker 3:It's been making the rounds and I saw this and I was like I'm obviously not as full-haired as as chaps, like I don't come for us. I don't come from a lineage of Fucking facial hair, so I mean I get what I get, but like I'm looking at chaps, I'm like that's a man that enjoys the Lady Nectar and good for you, chaps, good for you.
Speaker 2:God speed, god speed. Yeah, I enjoy it. I mean, I'll tell you I like it, I love it.
Speaker 3:I shit on toast. Well, that's not get crazy um, but yeah, that would be something chaps would say hey, you know, I just, you know, just dipped a little chicken nugget. Luna left a little chicken nugget, just had to absorb. I Wouldn't be surprised, I'm. All I'm saying is a chap said that he used it as a garnish on a dish. I wouldn't be surprised, that's all he must have lost was nice yeah but, I, was like what.
Speaker 3:Okay, quick side note. I watched X the other day and whatever reason, chaps, if we're we're talking about your glow-up. The more longer I watch that movie, the more you start giving me Alan Richardson vibe. So yeah, just lay up, he's just preaching, but like that's. That's, that's the realm in which I'm putting you into these days, jack Reacher.
Speaker 2:How does that make you feel, dean? Are you upset that we keep talking about how beautiful I am now Jack Reacher even?
Speaker 1:though I was getting. I was getting a lot of. I was gonna a lot of Compliments at the wedding too. So you know I can just, I'm just gonna keep that the word handsome was thrown around pretty 76's grandma is really nice.

What are the thoughts is like everyone in the industry Finally feels representative, represented of, like what this show entails and you don't need to be a foodie, you don't need to give a fuck about food at all to enjoy the show. It is so good chaps and it's unlike. It's not like Yellowstone, it's not like Reacher, it's not like fucking stranger things, it's like as basic bitch kind of TV shows you could like and it's fucking incredible.
Speaker 1:It's just chaos, is just chaos. It like it makes you uneasy season.

When we drove up to Prince George we made half the trip up, but old Dean and all of his wisdom had a little bag of candy and a Coca-Cola classic. So by the time it was bedtime I wasn't sleepy, so I watched a couple episodes of the bear on my cell phone while chaps was sawing logs. And that was that was I finished the season.
Speaker 2:Oh, it was almost up for 24 hours at that point. It was pretty close, and Did we? Dean only stayed in the fanciest hotel that we could possibly find within a hundred square miles of Our drive, so Dean got the deluxe edition Hotel. I'm sure he can explain how beautiful this place was. It was a motel. Okay, that was a lot less than Please be asking what I thought he was gonna do was a motel at.
Speaker 1:The air conditioner made a lot of noise but did not give up a lot of cold air, if any.
Speaker 2:Bro. It was like 27 degrees at midnight when we rolled in in Cache Creek and we stayed at this hotel, and Dina stayed with me twice in hotels this year. Once was at the Fairmont in Vancouver Super nice hotel, that's this one. This was the worst hotel I've stayed in in probably ten years is if the beds were kind of disgusting looking, the bathroom was disgusting. The toilet was really small. I don't know how to explain that, but it's like way down Cedar, like almost like you're a five-year-old shitting on the porta-potty. And yeah, it was.
Speaker 3:It was the worst so you had a hobbit. You had a hobbit shitter.
