Mavericks beat the Thunder it’s a fun night of basketball we had a double header we’ll talk about it momentarily first though quickly let me set today’s schedule for you in about 20 minutes in the next segment I’m going to be joined by Evan Mia cow who is a data scientist he runs Evan mia.com It’s a Wonderful website for college basketball fans his system you might have seen has memphis’s transfer portal class we’re ranked in the top 10 in the country Jason muns wrote about it commercialappeal.com this morning I’ll talk to Evan meia cow he’s going to be here in the next segment when we finish talking to him we’ll take a break come back do five more things you need to know which point we’re going to discuss five previously undiscussed stories among them the NFL schedule release television show was last night the Titans created another fun video for social media I’ll get Bennett’s thoughts on the Titan schedule we’ll do that in about 40 minutes the numbers are in for Caitlyn Clark’s WNBA debut highest rated WNBA game ever on ESPN I’ll tell you how many people watch it we’ll do that in just a bit the original Jerry snow cone is closing damn that’s s that’s a Memphis Landmark sad that is sad it’s a Memphis Landmark I’ll tell you more about that situation we’ll do that in the third segment Happy Gilmore 2 it’s now confirmed it’s coming to Netflix it’s going to be

was in the first group out this morning I’ll tell you how he did during a segment we call five more things you need to know yeah we’ll also talk tiger and everybody else you know I was trying to find a local tie though you don’t mind do you I love local ties I love local ties myself so uh we’ll do all that and then we’ll we’ll do gp’s carry out and then we’ll call a day we’ll be done with this so that’s a rundown we got a lot to get to uh but I did want to start with the 2024 NBA playoffs because after last night’s double header I don’t know if you’ve been keeping count but I wasn’t I wasn’t we are now 26 full days into the 2024 NBA playoffs 26 like it just started yesterday no it didn’t start yesterday it was a whole bunch of yesterdays ago we’re now 26 full days into the 2024 NBA playoffs and we haven’t even reached the halfway point yet is that true I mean we’re not even I mean there’s four rounds right yeah and we’re not completely into round three yet so we haven’t even reached the halfway point how about that one day I’m certain the NBA playoffs are going to be so long we’re all going to die during them oh yeah that’s probably like we will die like you you’ll be like oh yeah remember remember so and so he died right in the middle of the NBA playoffs and and then it’ll be like everybody dies in the middle of the NBA Playoffs it takes up most of the year that’s where we’re headed with this thing true that’s where we’re headed night 26 it gave us a a triple double from Luca dones oh how about that you caught it it’s the best player in the world right there you keep saying that I don’t think you’re right but today’s a you know if you ever G to say it today’s a good day to say it LCA donic gets a triple double Dallas takes a 3-2 lead in its Series against Oklahoma City I think that’s the place to start final score Mavericks 104 Thunder 92 big bet Bennett predicted a Dallas win he insisted Luca would have a nice bounceback game both things came true Dallas did not allow Oklahoma City to score more than 25 points in any quarter and Luca donic again produced a triple double he took 22 shots made 12 of them finished with 31 Points 11 assists 10 rebounds and very little complaining do you notice this dude I noticed Jared asked him about it in this post I saw he was like Hey I noticed you weren’t bitching non-stop tonight like damn dude that is more or less what he said doing like hey I noticed you weren’t just complaining nonstop tonight yeah what is it is it obvious to you let’s stop here for a second that either he has heard that this is like hey people are tired of it stop or or somebody talked to him and said it’s not coming across the right way you need to focus on basketball and stop trying to draw fouls and complain about every little thing that happens in every there was because it was an obvious clearly different approach last night I would think someone said to him dude the officials you’re getting on their nerves like I mean that I think is a like whatever whatever the fans think the fans think but I would assume that someone in his Circle said dude these officials don’t like you like you need to stop and also hey by the way I don’t know if you are F but the same people who think you either are the best player in the world or could be the best player in the world like they’re tired of this too even the people who adore you are like stop come on man y just just play basketball so he was on his uh best behavior last night he AC accepted fouls it was hilarious he got called for a foul and he held his hand up and he just left he left it up the whole time like give it to me get call that one on me yell my number give me that foul so um he was on his best behavior and he goes out and has a nice bounceback game and now the Mavericks are just one more win away from the Western Conference finals and again it comes on a night where Oklahoma City just couldn’t score I mean 22 22 23 25 total of 92 there was that spot in the third quarter we sort of laid down me and my little guy cuz he’ll like lay down with you and actually watch a game with you he doesn’t need an iPad in front of him like he’s actually interested in the game and there was this I know right I like I appreciate that like he’ll watch a Mets Philly game with you and then he’ll watch a thunder Mavericks game with you he just enjoys watching uh the games and so we’re watching the third quarter like he’s about to he’s about to fall asleep like third quarter is about like it’s almost time to go and there’s a stretch in the middle of the third quarter where Oklahoma it felt like they missed 50,000 shots in a row it was just one open three after another and they could not make anything and ultimately that was their undoing they just couldn’t score they couldn’t get into the lane couldn’t get to the rim so they became a three-point shooting team last night roughly 46% of their field goal attempts Came From Beyond The Arc 46% in the regular season Oklahoma City the number was 38% only 38% of their field goal attempts Came From Beyond the r last night 46% it went up and that’s a byproduct of you can’t get into the lane what are you going to do so that alone taking rough nearly half your shots from three like that alone is not a disaster for anybody including Oklahoma City but it was a disaster last night because they couldn’t make the shots they took 43p pointers and they missed 30 of them so 46% of their field goal attempts came from three and they missed 75% of them you ain’t beating Dallas with those numbers um they did Oklahoma City make a lineup change in an attempt to add shooting Josh giddy out as a 34% three-point shooter who in this series is only shooting 21% from three man and they’re not even guarding him dude I I mean there’s that one it got it went viral last night he’s in the corner and like they’re just not even they’re not even the series is doing him no favors dude I he he’s one of those guys GP that honest like he’s a starting point guard in this league and I could see him being an end of the bench guy well this is next season somewhere else if he’s not there well this whole thing’s been a tough situation for Oklahoma City cuz like who is had it really tough over the past couple of weeks who’s been going through it you ready Canadians yes and people who may or may not be may or may not be attracted to young people now what is Oklahoma City filled with what Canadians and people who might be attracted to young people oh okay am I wrong I guess not where Shas Alexander from he is Canadian where’s lud dor from oh he’s Canadian too they do have a lot of Canadians what’s Josh what’s what’s Josh giddy up to Google that and see Google and see you Google yourself we talked about before been a bad run for Canadians and people who might be into young people so is it should we be shocked that Oklahoma City is melting under these circumstances Maybe not maybe not so they get Josh giddy out y of the starting lineup because nobody will guard him anymore and it’s hard to play four on five on offense we’ve tried that before here in Memphis it’s difficult right so they put Isaiah Joe into the starting lineup he’s 42% three-point shooter um so it made sense on a surface level uh we need to add shooting let’s get out the non-shooter that they won’t guard and put in a shooter that they’ll have to guard problem of course is that Isaiah Joe did not uh he didn’t make he didn’t make shots either he was two of eight uh from three and because he was ineffective then the lineup change does you no good and he ends up being minus n for the game so he ends up hurting more than he helps I understand the logic behind the lineup change but didn’t work again now Dallas just one more wi away from the Western Conference Finals game six that’s going to be Saturday night in prime time and the Mavericks you know they have opened as three and a half Point favorites so barring a surprise it’s going to be Denver and Dallas in the Western Conference Finals that’s where it appears we’re headed which is interesting right yeah I’m not I’m still I’m not completely giving up on the Timberwolves I haven’t given up on anybody I’m just saying baring a surprise the the the most likely thing that could happen right now is nuggets Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals anything other than that by definition would be surprising so barring a surprise it’s going to be Mavericks and nuggets and that’s like Nicole joic and Jamaal Murray on one side Luca donic and Kyrie Irving on the other side I can get into that I can get into that get I can get into that but the Mavericks going to have to win one more game in the next one that’s going to be on Saturday night in Prime Time elsewhere last night we had game five Celtics Cavaliers no Donovan Mitch no Jared Allen understandably Boston pulled away in the fourth you might wonder like why they have to wait till the fourth to pull away I don’t know it’s just what they did it’s just what they do but they did ultimately pull away final score Celtics 113 Cav 98 Jason Tatum he got 25 points 10 rebounds nine assists so the Celtics are in the Eastern Conference Finals for the sixth time in the past eight years not quite as consistent as as our King was once upon a time but six times in eight years that’s impressive congrats to Brad Stevens and everybody involved but the good stuff in the East that came after the game when sham shiria Joe Varden and Jason ly at the athletic dropped a well Source story on the situation in Cleveland and the cliff notes version is that everybody seems to hate JB bicker staff and he’s probably done very that’s very weird to me I I don’t understand I don’t understand JB biger staff is an interesting uh coach in this league when it comes to this kind of stuff because like with the Grizz obviously I’m glad the Grizzlies are where they are and I’m glad they hard Taylor Jenkins and like this thing’s taken off and it appears to be going in the right direction but like when they when uh bigger staff took over for fizdale here um and he was gone I was like huh interesting he did a he did a pretty good job here but again it’s a coach taken over different you know he was part of the old regime you’re moving whatever this situation seems even more so like dude this dude like turned this thing around he’s actually in the Eastern Conference semifinals he was in the Eastern Conference semi-finals and got eliminated by what is from a record perspective at least the best team in the NBA while missing you know your best player two of his top three scores right and he has accomplished a lot of things as a coach in Cleveland that when you start you know bullet pointing it for graphics and stuff first time the Cavs have done this since LeBron James left first time the Cavs have done this since LeBron James left first time the Cavs have done this since uh you this is the only time they’ve done it without LeBron James being a part of it since before LeBron James was a part of anything so he’s accomplished from a record perspective from a postseason perspective theoretically he should probably be safe but this article in the athletic um seems to suggest that as GM and him don’t see eye to eye that’s never good sure and the bigger problem Donovan Mitchell doesn’t seem to respect him like that’s the that’s the issue here the sourcing is that Donovan Mitchell does not believe in JB bicker staff okay and that comes in like quite literally the same paragraph that explains how the Cavs are desperately desperately trying to get Donovan Mitchell to sign a contract extension four years $28.5 million so just like you ain’t even got to be an inside to piece all this together they desperately want to resign Donovan Mitchell Donovan Mitchell doesn’t believe in JB bicker staff the whole story starts with an incident between Kobe Alman and JB bicker staff back in December they end up in an overtime game against the rockets and Donovan Mitchell played 45 minutes including every minute of the nearly every minute of the second half and overtime and after the game this is how they set up the whole story Kobe Alman comes into JB bicker staff’s office and like lets him have it pretty good like what are you doing playing this guy 45 minutes in a regular season basketball game and JB reportedly explained to him I asked him if he wanted to come out he said he wanted to keep playing and they said well that ain’t up to him it might not be up to you but you can’t be pushing this guy 45 minutes in the regular season this is not how we do things it got loud other people heard it oh wow and then um when you combine that with the reporting that Donovan Mitchell doesn’t believe in him as a Difference Maker or even a quality coach at this level when that story drops on you literally minutes after your season ends it’s over for you yes you don’t you don’t survive this either way they got a ton of stuff if you take the reporting as truth and I do these are three quality NBA reporters they got a lot of problems in Cleveland because it’s not just Donovan Mitchell doesn’t respect JB bicker staff and Kobe Alman doesn’t respect or it appears JB bicker staff it’s that Donovan Mitchell doesn’t want to play with DAR Darius Scarlett anymore and vice versa all right so they want to resign Donovan Mitchell in the story it says the second they resigned Donovan Mitchell you know what Clutch is doing saying Darius Garland needs a trade out of there meantime Evan Mobley and Jared Allen don’t want to play together anymore there’s some concern within the franchise that you can’t um develop properly Evan Mobley properly develop Evan Mobley with Jared Allen playing with them interesting so your two guards don’t want to play together anymore your two bigs don’t want to play together anymore and oh by the way the Locker Room’s frustrated with Jared Allen because he’s got bruised ribs missed the playoffs that’s right and reportedly declined an injection that could have allowed him to play I’ll be honest with you the CU he’s a guy that you hear Grizzlies fans talking about Jared Allen cuz it seems like that would be a good fit here I’m not so sure I mean if if that’s true that him and Evan Mobley don’t want to play together like why would him and jiren want to play together I mean I mean that’s fair I I think the the argument would be because they’re still trying to develop Evan Moy and he is stunting that development whereas here you’re not really trying to develop as much as you’re trying to like go win now but that’s concerning to me if like and I’m not trying to uh you know like tell Jared Allen like what to do to his body yeah well it just gets into a complicated conversation I I’m just I I will say this if the your doctors and your TR medical staff training staff are telling you it is safe to do this and you can play if we do this then that’s a problem for me if you’re not willing to do it I I think so too I mean again like you don’t want to tell guys you know it’s their body they know how they feel I I get all that but I it would a red flag if my doctor said this is safe and if you do it you can play basketball and there are no um risk involved no real risk involved and there’s no risk of further damage involved I know you can’t play without this shot but with this shot and there’s no risk with the shot you can play and you still choose not to I judge you on that I do I I say I say man there’s something not right with you if you’re not willing to if you’re not willing to take what is being described as a safe shot to play basketball at this level that says say something to to me about you I would not I would not be fond of that I don’t think I would either yeah you know what I got I got names I could call that person uhhuh one of them start don’t do it no no no okay don’t do that no okay no name calling no name calling not on a not on a Thurs is it Thursday it’s Thursday not on a Thursday we do our name calling on Fridays usually so we’ll just we’ll

pom I guess Bart torvic another one that’s out there it’s Evan mia.com and a man who runs it is Evan Mia Cawa who is a data scientist who has now carved out his own space in college basketball Evan I appreciate you being here and let’s start with that you have a PhD you’re a data scientist how did you end up talking about uh balls bouncing and dunks with uh dummies like me you’re too smart for this stuff I think well I think it just comes down to the fact that I love college basketball um I I grew up in Indianapolis I’ve been a huge Butler Bulldogs fan my whole life I was at the butler Duke national championship game when Gordon Hayward almost hit that famous shot so I think from then I was just determined to find a way to uh you know merge what I’m doing for a career with the sport that I love in college basketball so that’s really What’s led to uh my love of the sport um while I was working on my PhD and statistics I decided to make this uh college basketball analytics website and it’s kind of just organically grown up grown into this big thing that I now do full-time uh for a living which has been really great so there’s a lot of different tools on there uh that that a lot of coaches and media members and fans use um you know if you’re familiar with a site like kenpom it’s kind of similar but it’s more play up and liner lineup focused and during this part of the offseason and a huge emphasis is the all of my transfer portal projections that I have there well that is why I wanted to talk to you because um there’s some interesting data that suggests Penny Hardaway has um enrolled one of the best transfer portal classes in the country your system has it ranked seventh and I think what’s most interesting is according to your system every player that penny is bringing in grades out better than every player that has been lost by Memphis to the transfer portal can you expand on that what is it exactly best is you can explain it to us that makes Penny hardways trans for portal class um Elite relative to the rest of the sport yeah so what I do when I’m evaluating any player in the transfer portal is basically I have a suite of different Advanced metrics that quantify how good a player is or how valuable they are to their team on the offensive and defensive end so when a player enters the portal what I end up doing is projecting how good they will be for any future team that they play kind of regardless of of how good that team is or how good their conference is is kind of equalized for all of that and so when I look at all of Memphis as players basically what I’m doing is I’m saying that the guys that they have coming in the guys that are going out how um how effective are they supposed to be next season offensively and defensively and so as you mentioned uh Memphis has brought in seven recruits so far in the transfer portal and I have six of those seven as all being better players next year in this terms of this projection system than any of the players that they’ve lost in the portal and that’s really impressive and when you kind of um summarize all of that together I have a part of my website where I actually rank transfer classes both in terms of just the incoming players that you have but also um accounting for both your incomings and outgoings just to see how good was your transfer activity as a whole in this portal and Memphis rates top 10 in the country in both of those they have a top 10 incoming transfer class and they also are top 10 in overall transfer activity which means they have greatly increased how good their team is going to be through the portal as opposed to some other teams who might bring in some good pieces but have lost more than they’ve gained so what of the interesting things is that um according to your data Dan dja is the highest rated incoming transfer for Memphis I think if you were just to ask Memphis fans who they’re most excited about um you know you might get a Tyrese hunter or a PJ hagard what is it specifically about Dane dja that U makes your system respect him say more than maybe just a casual college basketball fan I certainly think there’s plenty of reason to be excited by those guys that you mentioned Tyrese Hunter uh PJ Hagerty those are probably going to be more of the main stars with this team you know along with potentially a David Jones if he comes back but I’m really excited about Dane jja and I like what the numbers are showing about him basically you know he played a limited role for Illinois the last couple Seasons but he’s been very efficient in limited minutes uh when you kind of scale that up to you know per 40 minute numbers he’s a really efficient scorer he shoots an amazing uh makes an amazing percentage of his shots from the field 67% and another big part of this that lot of people don’t really count for in the transfer portal is actually put a lot of emphasis or maybe the correct amount of emphasis on defense in the portal a lot of people just look at offensive stats but Dan D’s defensive projection is actually very very good and that’s part of what carries him to be uh the highest by slight slightly the highest ranked uh incoming transfer for Memphis um when you look at how Illinois’s defense performed while he was on the floor the last couple years they were always performing at their best level when he was underneath the rim so if he’s able to have that at Memphis I think he’s going to do really good things and surprising people so uh the per minute stuff is obviously impressive um big picture he didn’t play that many minutes is that a question for Brad Underwood or is there an explanation there I think it could go both ways um one of the nice things about my projection system is that it’s predicting uh kind of regardless of what your usage level is and so if a player ends up playing more or less that’s not really supposed to impact too much of what their projected uh basian performance rating which is the the metric that I use uh is using and so basically essentially what the the transfer portal rankings are saying is if everyone plays kind of a lot or a little kind of regardless this is how good they’re supposed to be and so I’m predicting that even if dja uh grows in his role at Memphis it’s not like he’s going to get that much worse than what he’s before or maybe another way of putting it is he was so good in limited minutes that even if you expand his role and he gets slightly less efficient he’s still going to be very good for Memphis I’m talking out Evan Mia Cawa from Evan Mia uh he’s got uh the Memphis transfer portal class ranked among the top 10 in the country I saw you and Ken pomoy tweeting back and forth about this earlier in the week and I think it was Ken’s point was it’s sort of interesting how quiet people are about Memphis this off season as opposed to how loud folks were about Memphis last off season um I do not have Memphis in my top 25 and one right now I’m not sure anybody has Memphis ranked in any preseason rankings right now in a traditional top 25 or top 26 um should we Are We Wrong are we missing something um I don’t necessarily think so but I think a lot of this hinges on if David Jones comes back if he’s back I think we’re having a very different conversation I think Memphis is probably more in the top 20 top 15 conversation at that point because David Jones was an incredible incredible player for them last year you know he averaged over 20 points seven rebounds a game uh so I definitely think that addition would would move them into that conversation without him I still think that they’re probably you know on the right side of the tournament status as of right now um you know I really like the pieces that they have it would be nice though if if you know some of their incoming pieces were able to mesh with a guy like David Jones and so you don’t have to necessarily put all the scoring load on a PJ Hagerty and a Tyrese Hunter for example if they could be kind of the B to David Jones’s a that would make a big difference but regardless I still think that this Memphis team is kind of you know in the tournament conversation for sure and if they have a good season they definitely could be in the top 25 at some point I think a lot of the reason why people aren’t talking about them as highly as last season is because they brought in some good transfers last year and then the team kind of got burned a little bit and so I think fans are a little bit more wary I think in general with this transfer portal era um you know if it’s your first time getting a big transfer Hall and your school has lots of nil you’re ecstatic and then if your team underperforms you realize it’s not just about the names you bring in they actually have to mesh and perform well and so I think from a Memphis standpoint that’s you know still needs to happen I think that’s the absolutely correct explanation um I talked about this last season as it pertains specifically to North Carolina like we are impacted our judgment we’re humans by uh by what we’ve just seen and when North Carolina was coming off of a trip to the national championship game and bringing all of those pieces back we were like that’s the preseason number one team in the country and then it it just didn’t happen so The Following Season we all I think overcorrected and didn’t have them ranked High Enough enough because we had just seen them get we got burned by it the year before and that is what’s going on with Memphis right now to some degree because we just watched a team full of transfers fall apart you’re a little skeptical like I looked in the the replies underneath you and Ken’s conversation and I don’t have to get specific with it but most of the replies were oh yeah they bringing in some great transfers but um you know the coach just brought in as consistently brought in good players and it hasn’t consistently been NCA a tournament level uh you know caliber teams is that a fair assessment from from Outsiders yeah I think so I think there’s more to be proved uh with Penny Hardway in terms of getting really good roster pieces to actually perform well as a unit on the court he’s obviously had some good Seasons at Memphis but I don’t think he’s ever um extracted as much as as much potential as possible out of any roster that he’s had uh you know I I think arguably last last year’s Squad was supposed to be better than any of the teams he’s had before and they kind of fell flat in the in the second half of the season um so so I do think that’s a a fair critique and so hopefully this season can be the the um you know he can find that success the the winning ingredient whatever it takes um but it’s more just more about just your individual pieces it’s about getting the whole of all of your parts to perform well um one another interesting just sort of project you recently did uh showed you that nobody is taking transfers and develop developing them um more consistent conly well than Yukon and Arizona which I guess shouldn’t be a surprise because those are two of the best programs in America being run by two of the best coaches in the sport Dan Hurley and Tommy Lloyd beyond that um what what does that tell you about what’s happening right now at Arizona and Yukon and is is that something that you know feeds into itself in other words once it becomes common knowledge that transfers who go to these places really do flourish then it helps you get the next round of really good transfers 100% I I think there’s two parts to this one is that the teams with the biggest budgets and the most money and the biggest Prestige will often get the best transfers and thus those players will play well right I mean hunter Dickinson at Kansas was the number one transfer last off season he went to Kansas he was good but I think the more interesting question is saying if you’re a transfer and you’re considering several different schools which one is actually going to help you grow the most develop and be the most productive and so when you look at it from that standpoint and saying which player in the portal when they go to a school will often outperform their expectations it’s Arizona and Yukon and I I don’t think that’s very surprising uh I think Yukon has kind of reached this status now where any player that they recruit everyone automatically thinks oh well that guy must be better than I thought because Dan hurle wants him right and so I think you know cam Spencer last year is an example I don’t think people were necessarily super thrilled about cam Spencer coming from Rutgers they thought he was a nice piece and he turned out to be one of their best players a crucial piece to them win in the National title and so when you fast forward to this year and the players that they’ve got in the transfer portal um you know some of those players you might say well you know if they went to a different school I don’t know if I’d be high on them but if if he’s going to Yukon that must mean he’s really good well I also think that just speaks to those teams those schools those coaching staffs being really good at maximizing production from transfers especially when you’re having to immediately plug them in and play them from a different system that can be challenging so teams like Yukon and Arizona have done a really good job with that so think that a helps them with recruiting and saying hey if you come play for us you’ll be good but B I think there’s also just this level of confidence that they’re going to be able to get more out of their transfers than other teams and you know this extends to Mid Majors as well um in the last five seasons I Had Drake as the top mid- major in this category which I think votes well for West Virginia as their head coach Darren deze you know is leaving Drake to go to West Virginia hopefully that that means good things for them getting uh production from their transfers wrapping up here with Evan MIAA from Evan m.com last thing uh Before I Let You Go um it’s interesting because this type of data didn’t used to be available to just anybody who wanted to consume it now it is and if you talk to college basketball coaches there are there are people who live and die with this stuff and actually like roster construct with it in mind lineup combinations with it in mind I mean they know everything every little thing it’s amazing there are other coaches who just are dismissive of it like I don’t you know I don’t need this I’ve been coaching 40 years I don’t need this stuff do you have a sense for who’s who who who like do you know is really living and dying and and trying to coach their teams with this stuff in mind and who is uh ignoring it because I just this past season we watched one of the biggest brands in the sport have two lottery picks coming off its bench and there are fans out there who can now dive into this data and distinguish whether this is good or bad smart or dumb and these are tools we didn’t used to have how much do you think it’s actually impacting the way college basketball coaches do their jobs I mean it’s increasing every year I think people coaches are realizing that they have to use this more now my my thing personally with with data like this is that data does not always speak the 100% truth and you throw out other basketball intuition similarly you can’t just completely throw out all the data if you disagree with one data point and say it’s useless they needs to be a a combination of the two combining objective data analysis with your own kind of subjective but expert basketball opinion if you’re a coach so that you can kind of be more informed together that’s that’s my belief and so you know for example in the transfer portal I don’t always just say verbatim well if my my model has a player ranked number one that conclusively means he’s going to be the best obviously someone else could have a different opinion hopefully my data can help inform their opinion to be smarter right I think that’s really where the beauty of it is and so you know I think for coaches the the bottom line is in these days with nil and whatnot their time is is like completely maxed out there’s almost no time at all to dig into anything extra and so any tools any third parties any anything that you can use to more quickly learn and grow your team whether that’s in terms of players you’re recruiting or how to optimize lineups or how to you know allocate minutes on your roster you know anything like that that can help you get there quicker uh is going to be really helpful and so the coaches that are doing that and learning how to do that and having their you know assistance and their video coordinators learn how to do that they’re able to make decisions quicker and in the long term be better and I think two of the programs at least that we saw in the final four that I you know in Yukon and Alabama are known for this they they really dig into the data they don’t necessarily um you know uh look at every single data point but they know what’s important to them and to their program and they they really know how to use it well That’s What’s led to their success that is Evan mow from Evan mia.com that’s EV VM I y.com if you haven’t seen the site go check it out Evan maawa I appreciate you being here College basketballs lucky to have you you make us all Smarter with the work that you do so uh thanks again for being here I appreciate it take care that’s evanir cow from Evan mia.com again memphis’s transfer portal class heralded over on that website that’s reason photographing fans to be excited Bennett you fired up you got very fired up you got a nice transfer that got me excited yeah um you know like the question would Dane dja is going to be okay clearly the per minute stuff and this is you know what I asked de about a little like okay yeah he’s unbelievable on a permanent basis but he also only played 11 minutes a game so so like is that just Brad Underwood ignoring the data or if you were sitting here with Brad Underwood would he tell you I would love to play Dane danger 27 minutes a game but you can’t can’t can’t keep him on the court that long all right so so like you that figure out the answer to that question did Brad Underwood misuse Dane Daner or can you just not play Dane Daner that much figure out the answer to that question then I’ll tell you what Memphis is getting but again the data suggests that Memphis is getting um you know one of the top 55 transfers in the country in in that guy and uh somebody who is going to make an impact uh for the Tigers in what will be the second year in this new worked AAC where Memphis is going to enter the season it seems quite clear as the favorite to win that regular season Championship let’s go let’s go Bennett let’s go sign me up sign me up too to to the point where uh Evan and Ken were talking about like you know me people aren’t really high on Memphis I do think some of that is just because of what just happened to Memphis yeah they did this last year and it didn’t work right and Penny Hardway has now been a coach for six season seasons and they finish in the top 25 at kenpom for what it’s worth two times in those six years now it’s two of the past three but it’s still only two times in a six-year span so if you want to be excited be excited I also understand why some folks are skeptical yeah I’m sort of in the middle I believe they’re going to be good um but uh you know I’ve got them outside of the top 25 one for now yeah I tend to go back to like last last season it’s not that it they they were good for a period of time they were really good basketball team top 10 in the country and so I don’t look at last season and think oh that was a failed experiment like going and getting all those guys that have never played together before that that clearly isn’t going to work because it literally did work it just it fell apart for whatever reason it worked for a while and then it fell apart let me see if I can find this uh I’ve got I bookmarked this back in February because I thought it was interesting Somebody went and looked at all the division one te High major teams that brought in at least seven transfers and you ready for the list mhm it was Arkansas they didn’t weren’t good y it was Arizona State not good okay Memphis okay Central Florida not good West Virginia not good Penn State not good St John’s okay well St John’s was were they bad they weren’t bad they didn’t miss they didn’t make the tournament they didn’t make the tournament the only one that the only one of the group so it’s in total one two three four five six seven eight eight schools seven of the eight missed the NCAA tournament the only one that made it was NC State they went all the way to the final four but remember they’re the ones that needed to win the ACC tournament just to get in that’s true so if they don’t win the ACC tournament every High major team that brought in at least seven transfers would have missed the NCAA tournament that’s uh that’s a small sample size in of college basketball but that is that’s a data point teams that bring in this many players from the transfer portal at least last year none of them were good MH so maybe that’s another part of the skepticism okay it looks good on paper but you know what else also looked good on paper last year Arkansas yeah St John’s Memphis and then on the court it didn’t work out so well St John started bad got good Memphis started good got bad but on the court NC State was bad all year and then just somehow got good like in a two three week span but that that’s another reason to be skeptical teams that brought in transfer Porter players like Memphis is doing for next season teams that did that last season they were not good counterargument to that well how else you want us to build a team idiot right where where do you want to get this is what you have to do you know you can’t it’s hard to retain players now and you know High School guys aren’t winning against 22 and 23 and 24 year olds right so maybe this isn’t the best way to to build a basketball team but it’s the only way available to us so here we go be a fascinating season it will man I can’t wait me either you were 26 full days into the NBA Playoffs that’s what that’s what you told me fell just yesterday when we come back NFL had a big television show last night and they released their schedule in including the Titans is it difficult is it easy is it favorable I’m going to ask Bennett to break it down next Gary Paris show presented by orosa this is an actual good shoe this a

participate I partied you partied yes did you did you did you have fun at your party no you didn’t have I it was it was just a personal party on my phone looking at the schedule do you approve of the schedule uh for the Titans yeah actually I I really like it I think it’s sets up nicely for them you get to play a rookie quarterback in week one that’s always fun so or usually fun so the start of the season’s important for them because like you said rookie quarterback it is on the road Caleb Williams week one then you got Aaron Rogers coming to town then you got Jordan love and the Packers coming to town I think you got to go two and one um if if you’re going to be a contender for that division this year just because well obviously you want to win your home games but I think you got to get that Bears game um then you’re at the Dolphins you got the Colts at bills at at the Dolph is I’m going to go ahead and call that a loss uh that’s the only National TV game they get it’s Monday Night Football I’m going call that a defeat will be the only National we beat him last year yeah that’s last you’re living in the past um uh but uh there’s a tough stretch like uh Colts at at Buffalo at Detroit that’s that’s a that’s a defeat and a defeat that’s tough but then after that uh uh Patriots at Chargers Vikings that’s a great stretch three and0 it’s the new look Patriots three and0 that’s the new look Patriots calm down no so I I think that they’ve got winnable games I mean they get to play the Comm Sanders um that’s that’s that’s always fun you know we’ll see how the division shakes out the Texans are projected to win the division I think they had them total at 11 wins um which we’ll see hey we’ll see they were America’s darling last year yeah you saw how that went how did it go they made the playoffs yeah so like you know yeah pretty well yeah okay pretty well okay I didn’t know um hey I like the Titans social media team though they’re pretty good they had a nice little video doubling down on the video they did last year y like me and L Lou were watching that last night and he was actually loling at it no it was really good it my favorite obviously is when they it was multiple times the people said they had no idea who the Jacksonville Jaguars were that was my favorite part I was like nobody knows then the girl whoever the girl was that they got to I think she was in last year’s video and they brought her back she in last year’s video they brought her back and um she did a really good job she’s like yeah I don’t know who they are either yes yeah that so that was fun we watched that video twice and uh you know I I what I gather what I gather coming out of it is that every NFL team is going to play a bunch of games some of them are going to be on the road and some are going to be at home and we’re going to watch all of them we’re going to watch every single one of them even the bad ones we’ll watch even the bad ones that is the interesting thing about the NFL crazy is that like it does not matter anymore you can put again Panthers Giants is going to be in Germany and it’ll probably be at 6:00 a.m. who the everybody watching country get up early and watch it yeah like I can’t put the Pirates and the Reds on and make you care right I can’t put you know the the give me some bad NBA teams I can’t put uh the Rockets and the or the Trailblazers and the Charlotte Hornets and I can’t make you care about that right but we can take any two NFL franchises and put them on TV and like people can’t wait to watch it so true good for them it’s really wild dude good for them I love myself a crappy NFL game I I am not that person I am I will not just watch any NFL game I’ll pull up my 5,000 fantasy teams uhuh hop on FanDuel I have no fantasy teams I have I don’t play Fantasy Football and I and I and I do not let my life revolve around NFL Sundays I do I know people who like their life revolves are on NFL Sundays like they won’t play golf with you anymore on Sundays because it’s NFL Sunday idiot playing golf we’re going to be on vacation on the the the second Colts game um we’re going to be at Disney or the family for Christmas and and I’m like that gives me anxiety thinking about that like I’m not going to be able to watch that game and it bothers me can you carve out time for that no because it’s during the middle of the day like we’ll be at the park with the family like I can’t I’ll get the death stare if I try to watch any of that game it’s tough yeah that’s that’s one of those where it’s like dude your children hello like don’t don’t do this because I’ve I’ve done that before and it did not go well I I I can remember before my my grandmother passed we’re having a birthday for her and uh they just play the birthday like I’m not even involved in it I’m not involved in the planning but it’s like uh suddenly Grandma’s birthday is uh you know it’s going to be party it’s going to be this night at this place and I said that is the night of the Mets wild card game like like I love my grandmother but I also love Jacob deg Grom you know yep and so you know what I did tell me if this is tell me if this is sweet or like come on man that’s pathetic what which one is this here’s what I did I said you know what I don’t want to have my grandmother’s birthday party at this place I would rather just have it at my house so I’ll cater the whole thing everybody just come to my house and it was strictly so that I could watch dude there’s nothing wrong with that you don’t think so absolutely not no these things are important Grandma’s birthdays or wild card games wild card games more important than grandmother’s birthdays I mean Grandma’s had a lot of birthdays what birthday was was it like 90 or was it like you know 82 I mean maybe her last one I mean you can always say that though you can always say that it might be the last MH it’s probably not I felt like I made the right decision you did the right thing plus you catered it plus I catered it hey I paid for everything it’s not like you were like let’s just do it at my house you got catering and everybody and everybody bring everybody bring a plate yeah and no I up after everybody like yeah I’ll cater it I’ll pay for everything we just going to sing Happy Birthday with Mets Giants on in the background all right everybody get you ain’t having to buy dinner anymore at a restaurant tonight Uncle gp’s covered it all yep but we’re going to have to watch the Met Giants yes I felt like I did the right thing you did the right thing I hope so these things are important these things are important yeah number two the numbers are in on Caitlyn Clark’s WNBA debut what’s up highest rated WNBA game and ESPN history that’s all I’m not surprised by that not either well I take that back I am kind of surprised because you were competing with a an N an NBA playoff game I mean it was literally on at the same time so that’s that’s pretty impressive 2.2 million yeah um highest rated WNBA game in the past 23 years second highest of all time there’s a game you know 23 years ago it was on NBC that’s the highest rated WN game of all time okay but this is the highest rated in the history of ESPN and so now we talked about this yesterday we don’t have to spend much time on it it’s just like where does it go from here like what happens are you still is the country still gonna want to watch Caitlyn Clark when she’s not an MVP candidate and her team’s not good I hope so I hope so too that’s what I’m hoping for but but we’ll see hey we’ll revisit this yeah we’ll come back to it we’ll come back to this some other time okay number three oh I got sad news yeah this is sad news Jerry snow con the original location a Memphis institution a Memphis Landmark a Memphis Landmark like if you ain’t ever stood in that parking lot hold one of them things in your hand for a second I thought that was TMZ I was like damn TMZ picked this up no no no no no no K Kyra’s just in charge of the no we don’t TZ is not picking up Jerry snow okay okay but it does kind I see what you see yeah that’s that’s TMZ is that graish I see what you’re looking at there um if you ain’t never stood there and held one of those I don’t know how I don’t even know how you could call yourself a memphian yeah and now it’s closed it is no more mhm you heartbroken I am heartbroken um now there’s another location that and we’ve been to the one out in Cordova it’s it’s the same thing like you’re not you’re no no no no no the experience is not the same but it’s the same stuff there’s something about being in that neighborhood I know which which could be the reason it doesn’t exist anymore shout out to nut Bush um no it’s uh like dude I saw uh I think the guy that own what I’ve just got this dumbest nut Bush story okay good I have plenty of those I’ve Liv lived over in that area for a while um so I uh I saw the owner talk to the Daily M and he said that um that crime was one of the reasons that that they’re closing it that’s what he said but then he said that they haven’t been affected by crime like no he said they haven’t been robbed they haven’t been like you know put a gun on you okay but but maybe the clientele is lessened because people are scared to go to the area I mean that that is what that is what the owner implied is that okay young people are scared to go over there scared to go over there are you scared bro I live five minutes from there like that that sure maybe that area is like a little more rundown than it used to be when I was a kid but like there’s it’s not that bad over there would you go there at nine o’clock at night if if if I I don’t think it was open I know but I’m saying if Jerry snow cones was open they said tonight only we open till 10:00 uhhuh and I said Bennett go get us some snow cones and you going have to stand in that parking lot for 20 minutes while they’re getting your order ready yeah would you feel comfortable sure okay I mean it’s just like a neighborhood right it’s just like a that that was the uniqueness of it was it’s this like big pink building in a in a neighborhood I loved it I loved it too I just like looking at it I like being there made me feel good and now uh now it is no more you think we are do you think as a people we’re just more scared than we’ve ever been yes and I don’t think that is unique to Memphis that is just I I think we all have anxiety about what’s just going on and how much of that is rooted in reality Rel to to how much of that is rooted in we’re just consuming so much bad information that it impacts the way you view the world yeah I mean like here there obviously crime is very bad if you go to channel 3’s website right now and I don’t mean to pick on Channel 3 it could be any any of them yeah but I was sometimes I go to these local news websites just to I want to make sure I haven’t miss anything locally but the television sites are often it’s just like this guy was shot and this guy was arrested and this guy you know did some bad things to a kid this car was and this person carjacking and this woman had 70 dogs in her house for some reason it’s just all like crazy stuff and I wonder if like if we’d be better off if we just didn’t know any of this because when you when you just penetrate yourself with bad ugly the world is going to [ __ ] information like then it’s just like I’m scared everywhere I go scared and now we don’t even have Jerry snow cones I I think there is definitely something to that um and then and then In fairness there are people just like getting shot for no reason no that is that is happening too how you Bal that true I I completely agree like crime is bad here um and so that I I completely agree with that but I don’t know I just as far as like blaming that specific situation on crime I was kind of like okay that rubbed you the wrong way just a little bit it rub that rubb Bennett the wrong way I mean dude like Bennett was rubbed the wrong way by that yeah so again cuz I’m I’m over in that neighborhood all the time like it’s it’s fine Bennett says it’s fine yeah well well then maybe you should own Jerry snow cones maybe I’ll read bring it back bring it back could you bring it back shoot I can look into well they said they sold the building oh well then well what are they going to do who who’s going to do something there probably build a house it’s in a it’s in a neighborhood I don’t think you’re right like maybe just live in Jerry snow con yeah maybe live in that pink building just live in that pink building I’d live there you know you if my options were limited but I’m with you dude like that’s kind of like a write a passage going to standing in that line I took my boys there yeah we just you just stand out you just sort of sitting outside eating the snow cone just looking around founded other people eating snow cones yeah in the middle of a dangerous neighborhood it’s a stop it’s not that dangerous no it’s not I’ve hey I never I’ve been there I don’t know how many times let’s call it 20 all right I never felt unsafe no I never felt like I was threatened what was your go-to is there one that you liked more than the others I like that wedding cake that wedding cake snow cone I don’t like cake you don’t like cake I mean I I I I’m not anti-c cake but I don’t love it I don’t love it like you love it oh I love a slice of cake I don’t man I don’t like icing what like if I go to a birthday party I will I will almost certainly not have cake and the only time I will have cake is if I’m trying not if I’m trying to make you not feel bad like hey look you want some cake and I’m trying I go my what I want to say is no but sometimes people get offended when you don’t want their cake you ever had people get offended because you don’t want their cake no cuz I always eat it always cake okay so you don’t even know my experience you don’t know my experience so you can’t speak on my experience cuz you don’t know my experience my experience cuz I’ve done this I tell people sometimes I’m like no I don’t want your cake no thank I even say no thank you I’m trying to be nice as I can be and they get offended like oh come on come on you you want some cake and I’m like no I don’t want some cake I don’t I don’t really like it except for ice ice cream cake I like kind of like I like that not cake and ice cream a frozen ice cream cake like you get it at TCBY I like cake and ice cream like the the like combination no I’m trying to kill two bur with one stone no I don’t think it’s the same put together it’s not the same thing I know I like that thing better than I like the other thing that’s uhuh uh-uh cake with a cake that’s like kind of like room temperature with the cold ice cream yeah I’m not against it it doesn’t gross me out like black olives gross me out I don’t understand how people eat those oh I like those I know you do we’ve been green I like all of them I don’t like any olives I’d rather I’d rather in my life than eat olives okay so I don’t that grosses me out the I if I see somebody eat an olive I’d like in my what I’m thinking is like I don’t you must I don’t understand how you even do that I don’t understand I don’t feel that way about cake I can eat cake I can watch you eat cake I just don’t want it I’ll never I will never and I mean never just go get my own piece of cake like sometimes if I’m feeling a little wild I’ll get my own frozen yogurt I like that but not cake so I want to be what I’m trying to be clear is this isn’t like some health thing like I’m too healthy to eat cake although I know nobody thinks that about me I’m just saying I just don’t I don’t love it speaking what ever happened to frozen yogurt I don’t think those remember that frozen yogurt like phenomenon I used to go all the time there was one on every corner I don’t think they must not do well literally everywhere you went you could drive two miles and there was a frozen yogurt like build your own frozen yogurt and now every they’re all I don’t know that they’re all closed but like where I used to go to get frozen yogurt is closed and where I used to go besides that play that one’s closed too I think they must just be bad business models it’s got to be you know people were overloading the they’re they’re taking advantage of the build your own I don’t filling it up well I think that’s how they actually get you I mean buddy I’ve been in there I I come out of there CU they charge by the size right they weigh it they weigh it I mean I’ll get out there with a $42 cup of frozen yogurt start throwing Reese’s Pieces on top of it I love that I just don’t love cake I just want to make it clear it’s not like a I got it not count my calories so I don’t want cake mhm I just don’t love it like that I always felt weird I’d go to frozen yogurt place by myself and I would never see another man in there by himself it was always moms and little boys or a couple of moms after a workout class or a couple of high school students and I never saw I never like you go to this place and you never see somebody looks like you there yeah what do you make of that uh I don’t know I didn’t I just never saw another grown man by himself just going in to get yogurt I think I yeah I mean I think that it like every other grown man I saw he had his kids with him and I’ll take my kids but I’ll go by myself think about it I never went by myself to those places so what’s going on with me I mean dude if you want like if if you want a fun little treat I don’t think I mean for me that that’s probably it’s probably why they all went out of business cuz like when I want a fun little treat I ain’t going to the Frozen yogur where you going then for the cake shop for a fun little treat you go to the Cake Shop I don’t know if I if I going treat myself I’m going to get something like fatty like I’m not I want to just get some frozen yogurt put some Reese pie on I mean you’re trying to be healthy over here no I put Reese’s Pieces on it I’m not trying to be healthy I just that’s what I like well maybe that was it too people just thought of that as like oh that’s healthy I don’t want a healthy treat I want a I want a sweet treat we need to talk to a frozen yogurt owner and be like what is going on why can’t you guys stay in business CU they cannot stay in business although there’s one down there on the Square in Oxford and it’s always popping is it oh it’s always everything there’s always popping off everything’s always popping in no uh I saw back to Jerry Stephen said that they are going to open another location so I guess they’re that it’s not going to just be that Cordova location they’re going to open up a new one so that’s good yeah that’s good we’ll have them we’ll have them all over people in the chat they say the one out in C it doesn’t hit it doesn’t hit the right way doesn’t hit the same way well cuz you’re not getting the experience okay but it’s it it is the same I I dude I think it tastes the exact same do you I’ve never been to the one in Cordova I can’t speak on it but it’s but it is not the same as being at that pink building like in that neighborhood it’s it’s it’s different I guess the I guess that’s part of the taste part of the taste the experience you know is the rendevu the Rendevous without in being in the alley the Alle you know if it’s not in the alley is it just another place to get rips there could be something to that there might be something to that anyway rest in peace to Jerry snow cones you you had a good run you know you had a good run number four Happy Gilmore 2 it’s official how about that it’s coming to Netflix it’s coming to Netflix nearly because all his stuff goes to Netflix I don’t think he does anything that’s not Netflix anymore no like Netflix Netflix just gave him like a billion dollars and say go make movies and he just and then he hires all his friends and he goes makes movies like there is nothing better than being at Sandler’s friend oh I know dude those guys got it made you’re just Adam Sandler’s friend you just get to be in movies cuz you’re Adam Sandler’s friend yep he’s a loyal dude he is a loyal dude I love him I think everybody loves him yeah and I you know I went and saw him uh when he was here a couple months how was that was awesome was it awesome he’s hilarious dude is he hilarious yes yes like I never seen him do the uh standup thing and it was it was really good I don’t like all the sing songy stuff oh he did a lot of the singing yeah I don’t like he did a lot of the sing I don’t need to see comedians sing Ever I liked it just man talk to me and make me laugh all right that’s all I that’s what I want out of you talk to me make me laugh I don’t need you singing songs to me I get singers to sing songs to me I want comedians to tell me jokes and singers to sing right okay yeah I don’t need Olivia Rodrigo on stage trying to tell me a joke and I don’t need Adam Sandler trying to sing a song to me I liked it all right Happy Gilmore 2 are you excited or nervous that it could ruin a classic from your childhood no I don’t I’m I’m excited I it it’ll be fun it’s you know going back to that I feel like that era of Adam Sandler everyone had it was because 1995 Billy Madison came out 96 Happy Gilmore came out and I feel like that everyone was a massive fan of one of those movies like I liked both of them but I feel like you had a loyalty to one more than the other I think everybody love both mine was Billy Madison my in my world down down below the Border uh we like them both I like them both too but I love Billy Madison like that’s one of the best comedies ever it’s just because it’s so is Billy Madison stop looking at me Swan yes I love that movie that that part makes me laugh every time I love that looking at me watch it a million times it’s so stupid it’s so good people sometimes say you know what they sometimes say Bennett they say you shouldn’t do stuff like this because you’re going to ruin the original you’re going to damage the original no you’re going to taint the original are you worried that the original Happy Gilmore will be tainted no not at all are you concerned that Carl Weathers is dead uh no not at all why not he’s Apollo Creed no let’s get Ben Stiller back if we can um who oh we got to get shooter back we got to get Shooter McGavin but he’ll be back he’s got to be back course I mean he still walks around as Shooter McGavin I know like that guy still thinks he is he’s got to be back and be the main Villain Like that’s got to H or something he’s got be something he’s got to be a part of this and trust me he been waiting 30 years to be a part of this this is nobody is happier about this than that guy yeah no I’m I’m excited about I dude and I respect the hell out of Adam sailor because what was it I think he when he made uncut gems and people were like pushing for him to get nominated for best actor um and I don’t think he did and he threatened he was like I swear to God if I don’t get nominated for this movie I’m going to make like 10 shitty Netflix movies in a row and I think he did but no he kind of even acknowledges like that you know some of the movies cuz he’s done a a ton of movies I mean I can’t even keep up and like some of them have not been good but he’s like acknowledged that like he’s self-aware and I think that’s cool all these people the same way you know if we did a good show they know if they did a good movie they know that like there was that one part in the Tom Brady roast where I guess it was Nicki Glazer was talking about Kevin Hart and and they’re like guys do you realize like Kevin Hart like he’s amazing he wakes up 4:00 every morning to make shitty movies that’s so good so and he lasts cuz you know what he knows oh most of them at least some of them aren’t good yeah but the paychecks are that the paychecks are I wonder um you know I think that I think you got to see if tiger will do it just because that’d be so massive if you get a tiger cameo in the movie I could see that yeah and like who else who could you get to like Brooks Capco would be a good one to get a cameo they’ll figure all that out yeah they’ll figure all that out but uh hey we recently did a hey let’s revisit a classic do a sequel and it it was a home run the Top Gun sequel very true they got they knocked that they nailed that one they did nail that one I mean they nailed that one you could be like oh what are we doing this for you know another one that they nail from like you know 30-year gap or whatever and it not they didn’t follow it with a movie but with a series Karate Kid yeah they did get that right they did get it right Cobra Kai’s good oh yeah yeah I was thinking of the one yeah yeah I’m not talking about Karate Kid 2 and like I mean they pick up the Karate Kid story you know decades later and they got that right too just like they’re going to pick up the Happy Gilmore story decades later you know what would be a hilarious uh plot is if it’s like you don’t have to do like live versus PGA but like somehow bring that as part of the storyline like where it’s like these two competing entities and you got like the dangerous like Z bad guys or something Bennett Bennett Cal calm down I think we should let Adam Sandler WR Happy Gilmore too okay I’m just saying it’d be a it’d be funny all right well let’s get let’s get Bennett on the phone with Adam sand he’s got some Happy Gilmore 2 ideas I I think I could you may maybe you do have Happ good would would hey all I know about Happy Gilmore 2 only thing I know about Happy Gilmore 2 is that it’s gonna it’s going to drop on Netflix I believe in 2025 okay and somehow someway someday Bennett gonna own a physical copy of it oh I already have a copy of Happy Gilmore not two though I don’t have two no but I have one I’m can you get a physical copy if it drops on Netflix have you thought about that yet so that is very uh hit or miss I know yeah that’s they don’t always release their stuff in physical media which is a problem it feels like it is that’s a problem by the way speaking of physical media I posted something about it this morning you know I was trying to find a copy of D Dune Volume 2 dude I I could have bought you one yesterday well not now not now they’re all gone you can’t find them anywhere I found something I went to two Targets I went to Walmart all of them gone I saw a doing something was it in Mississippi yeah okay they did say there was one in stock in Mississippi that’s why I looked at it I put my eyes on that’s why I specifically said in Memphis that there weren’t any copies available I I put my eyes on it you let me go back no it’s I I ordered it it’s coming in and that’s I know dude that’s I know you ordered D to physical media oh yeah it’s it’ll be in the mail tomorrow how much you spend on that like 25 bucks that’s wild to me I mean I’m stupid I SP I spent 25 bucks on stupid stuff every day but like but it’s to my point like they’re trying to they’re trying to they’re trying to get rid of physical media everybody’s buying copies of this movie oh wow cuz it’ll probably be worth 25 bucks someday or because people want it as part of their collection and they want the the picture’s better the picture’s better the picture’s better you can actually notice the difference 100% it’s a trained eye but it is it is I’m telling you a trained eye it’s a trained eye you sound like Eric spoler it’s a trained eye but the picture is way better way better wow well all right I have Happy Gilmore too I got a spot available it’s right next to Happy Gilmore one it’s just there that is where Happy Gilmore 2 should go I think right next to Happy Gilmore one slide on in there well I hope you get that someday number five PJ championships underway in Louisville Xander chafl is your leader he’s got a three-stroke lead he’s eight under par through 15 holes he’s going low Xander schafle okay Tony fenal three shots back at five under Jordan spe and Hideki matama three under par right now Memphis and Shawn mckel was uh in the first group to go out this morning you curious how he’s doing what’s Shawn doing well um you know he’s five over through 16 it’s a rough go that’s tough but you know you know who’s even having a rougher go than that our old pal John Daly what’s Sean doing he’s popped up quite a bit lately I hav’t seen him well this sea mckel John Dy both like they won this event gotcha and so that’s how you ain’t going they ain’t going to be at the Masters understood but but but they’re here mhm and uh you know they’re having a rough go but it’s hard golf’s hard you know God we got to get John Daly the Masters golf’s hard Ben it and if Shawn mckel and John Daly had forgotten that they they’re being reminded of it this morning in Louisville what about Tiger Woods I bet you’re wondering where Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods is right now he’s even par through 13 he’s holding it together tied for 33rd right now is he eight shots back of Xander chaé yes but uh you know he’s he’s whipping Shawn mck’s ass I’ll I’ll I’ll I’ll keep an eye on it Roy maroy two under that’s good cuz he’s going through it right now he’s going through it right now yeah he got a lot going on and his and his now estranged wife I guess she’s getting the TMZ treatment I saw that I watched her walk out of yoga workout this morning you know there she is walking out of yoga I never seen her walk out of yoga before but now Roy maroy announces he’s getting divorced and now I’m watching a strange wife walk out a yoga class God how does TMZ know they just I mean that is so Random like cuz when has TMZ ever once thought about Roy Mary’s wife but it’s like this story pops up and it’s so it’s like we got to get a camera how do they know dude I don’t know how they know it’s wild I don’t know how they know what they know she’s going to be at yoga this morning I did used to work with a girl uhhuh who used to work at TMZ and she said that that like 90% of how do they know and I’m not saying it applies to Roy Mao’s exch strange why but the way she explained it to me is the reason you see Kim carian everywhere she goes is because we know everywhere she’s going because they tell us yeah they tell us it they tell us where to be and when to be there and like if so when you hear celebrities complain about the paparazzi there is some real that where they are just following people nonstop that’s the Justin Bieber and you know at this point I guess the the Kim Kardashian but her point was like if you really don’t want to be a part of that life with few exceptions you cannot be a part of that life um but the people you see all the time are often seeking it out they want it uh Danny Granger told me a story one time he was teammates with Chris humph mhm during the Kim K marriage yeah he said he said that Chris he was like hey man I’m going on a double date I I want you and your wife to go on a double date with me and a new girl I’m seeing he’s like but nobody knows I’m seeing her yet like would’ you go he’s like yeah of course but like who is it he’s like it’s Kim Kardashian and Danny was like yeah we’ll go sure and he said uh everything was normal they went to the restaurant sat down everything was normal they walked in nor everything was normal by the time they left the restaurant it was insane Insanity like insanity to where he was like I don’t know how people live like that that’s wild yeah yeah so um anyway wonder what Chris humph is up to yeah who knows Roy maroy that’s what we’re talking about yeah he’s having a interesting week but he’s playing pretty good golf that’s right you know that’s right some hey they call it compartmentalizing maybe that’s what he’s doing just focusing on the task at hand sometimes that’s important Bennett yeah sometimes you got to be able to compartmentalize and focus on the task at hand so that’s what he’s doing and as a strange wife she can’t even go to yoga practice without a yoga practice do you practice yoga no I think you just go do it just go do it do did people practice yoga I think they do I think people do so we’re going to call it a yoga class and it might have been Pilates I don’t know I wasn’t in it all right I wasn’t in it but like she can’t even go to whatever class she’s doing without walking out and having people ask her about her uh husband they said hey do you have any comments you know what she said no comment she said no she said no what kind of NDA you think she going to have to yeah that’s that’s coming he yeah here’s 20 here’s 50 you want $75 million will you please sign this so that you never say a word about me walking out of your pilates class good or bad I bet that’s where we’re headed I bet

nice Thursday it’s nice outside isn’t it benett it is nice outside I don’t know why do you why do you think it is around this time I always decide to look outside for the first time I don’t know it’s just you’re you’re wrapping up the show and CU I’m getting ready to go back to the outside world you’re reflecting I’m want no I’m wan to see what I’m about to walk into yeah you sitting here you’re in like you your safe little confines of your own little you know but I’m about to walk out into walk by right back out into the world it’s a good Festival weekend barbecue fest yeah we got like 50 of them this weekend do you participate I don’t um I don’t um that used to be this used to be the the most enjoyable weekend of the Year for me every year I can’t tell you how many girlfriends I found at barbecue fest how many how many I lost at barbecue fest yeah you know you win some you lose some Bennett right I used to always and I just I think I just I aged out of it yeah well uh we they’re going to be at uh tiger lane and then uh the um why can’t I think of the name of it the I got it right here hang on the uh we ain’t got nothing to do just take time no no no the one going going on downtown is smoke slam that’s the one going on smoke slam yeah smoke slams the barbecue fest that’s happening over there in Tom Lee and then the Memphis and made barbecue fest best is what’s happening at Tiger Lane they named it smoke slam that’s right who you think decided to do that I don’t know it’s catchy is it yeah it sounds like it sounds like sounds like choke slam I might that’s kind of cool I might walk over there and check it out no you’re not I might although I don’t think they open today till two I was going to I wish they would open early oh you want to take a stroll after work I want to walk over there and get some barbecue but I don’t think they open till two today yeah well that’s too bad yeah maybe I’ll go after work no you’re not you don’t know you don’t know I do know you you going to sit down and watch a physical copy of some movie you’ve already seen 17 times I know I know how your Thursday’s going to go anyway hey it is nice outside for barbecue fest right it is whichever one you’re participating in yep go both go check out both go do both we we’re not picking sides are we should we pick sides I will pick a side if you tell me who to pick I don’t know anything about this I’d prefer not to pick a side I will say I wish that we could figure out how to not do two big barbecue festivals on the same exact weekend you don’t want to have competing festivals I would prefer them to be on different weekends yes we’d like all of our festivals to get along if maybe they could all sit down and decide hey we’ll do one this weekend and we’ll do one this weekend I think that might be greater for the citizens of Memphis and potential people coming in town for the festivals but uh that’s just me I mean we lose Jerry snow cones but now we have two barbecue competitions on the same weekend yeah what’s going on seems like a bad trade to me yeah yeah again both of them look awesome and uh I’d rather sacrifice one of these barbecue compet I don’t want to sacrifice one for Jerry snow cones back if I told you right now you could kill one of these barbecue fests and you get Jerry’s Back original Jerry’s back what would you do you kill one of them wouldn’t you I’m not saying which one we’re getting another Jerry’s they’re going to re they’re going to open somewhere else but it’ll never be it’ll never be the same you don’t know that oh I’m pretty sure it never be same it’ll never be the same unless they put it in a neighborhood and paint the building pink then it could be yeah then it could be the same yeah but but you know what that’s what that’s exactly what they should do put it in a neighborhood MH with um bunch of homes and then paint that building pink that’s what I would do that’ bring back the Nostalgia that’s that’d bring back the you know you just want it to feel the same even if it’s not the same right yeah I feel like it’s over though yeah feel like it’s over all right let’s do GP all right let’s do it I got things to do it’s time for gp’s carot one final segment filled with stuff to take with you it’s not everything you need to know but it’s most of it what did we learn today a whole bunch of stuff but in the opening that we mostly focused on the NBA Playoffs where the Mavericks took a 3-2 series lead over Oklahoma City last night Thunder couldn’t make a shot 10 to 40 from three-point range that ain’t good mhm 46% of their field goal attempts Came From Beyond The Arc and they missed 75% of them terrible combination so the Mavericks are now just one more one away from the Western Conference Finals meantime it might be night night for JB bicker staff that’s what they’re saying buddy when the athletic or in anybody drops a story like that on your head like minutes after your final game of your season that means this is probably the final season of your of your seasons in Cleveland man they just had it locked and loaded yes that’s wrong just like they just like loaded up this gun they just pointed at JB like just wait for the final buzzer wait for the final horn all right is this over boom done for you like it you don’t like it you think he’s been done wrong I do kind of yeah except except the most important thing the most important thing for an NBA coach to do you know what it is it’s not be the best ingame coach or you know what it is get along with your best player have a great relationship with your best player and have a great relationship with your GM you got those two things the other stuff is less important if you don’t have those two things you ready for this the other stuff doesn’t matter at all yeah I I I’m I’m with you I’m with you there’s a lesson in there there’s a lesson in there somewhere there’s a lesson in there somewhere what’s today’s biggest game oh you know where I’m taking you you know where I’m taking you where are we going Target Center I do love Target downtown Downtown Minneapolis it’s the nuggets and the Timberwolves we’re going to call this one game six and that’s because it is the nuggets have a 3-2 lead after being down 2 they’ve won three straight that’s how that works tonight Timberwolves 2 and 1 Half Point favorite totals 205.50 how you going to act this is tough this is tough I think I’m I don’t want to influence you but I I would like to relay something to you yes pass it on no Mike no mic is Mike out do we know I’m sure he’s old and he’s got an A Killy string yeah like if he plays he shouldn’t okay but I’m going to leave that up to Mike okay he’s technically listed as questionable but at his age if your K’s a strain just say down yeah but maybe Mike has the heart of a champion or the heart of somebody who might have to have Achilles surgery we’ll see you know sometimes those are one in the same walking at a ball arena in Denver the other night Anthony Edwards looked at one of the ball boys this is what I read looked at one of the ball boys you know what he said what’ he say see you for game seven I’m going to take him at his word I’m going to take Anthony Edwards at his word I’m going to take him at his word I’m going to take the Timberwolves um I don’t feel good about it but man I think he could like go for 45 tonight well you can’t feel good about a team probably without Mike connley that’s lost three straight to Denver after watching nicolea yic do what he did the other night there’s no way to feel good about any of this you just have to believe in Anthony Edwards or not can’t there’s no way to feel good about it you’re not going to feel good about this I’ve been riding with the Tim rolles all season I know you have been it y you got to decide do you believe in Anthony Edwards or not I do and I will take him tonight I think we’ll see a game I was going to say we haven’t seen a game seven yet but I forgot we had that stupid Cavs Magic game seven I want to see like a meaningful game seven that was like that was like B level G I want to see a real game and by the way it feels like that game seven really was just the other day and now the Cavs are already done and JB bicker sta be fired any minute it’s rough give me a real game seven is yeah I that’s you know what that’s where I’m at too I wanton a real game seven between Denver and Minnesota so that means I need Anthony Edwards to ball out tonight they say he’s the next Michael Jordan dude I mean he only had 18 in that last game he’s going to have a big game tonight win or lose if you’re the next Michael Jordan yeah give us a game seven yeah I’m in let’s go I’m in let’s go tip off tonight do you need to know
