It was a time and they rolled back just about everything that came out of that time. And that that I think is a fascinating. It's kind of like after Reconstruction. Right. Like it feels like the Trump era is a rollback of the Obama era. Very similar to the post.
Carl, you know, he's a little bit disappointing as an NBA player. He is so wildly talented. I live in New York now, and so it's interesting because, like, the Dominicans, they got their guy.
They pressed up Carl Towns jerseys with the Dominican flag on them. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah, because he's their guy. I just find it so wild that he's out there being guarded by people who are 6'4". And he still shoots threes. Yeah, it's disrespectful that the teams are willing to guard him like that, and then the Knicks won't give him the ball, which is even more disrespectful.
Yes, I still love it.
Yeah, I appreciated what he was doing. Like I got it. I felt I did feel this about Cal that relative to his peers, he cared more about his players than the average coach did. I firmly believe that. And I think that's I think even after everything that has happened, that is still probably true.
Yeah, well, the only thing was Krzyzewski always recruited a lot of one-and-done kids. He was just arrogant enough to think that he could get them to stay for two. Right. Like he thought he could get Lou all day to stay for two years. Right. He thought that if he got Brandon right to come, he would stay for two years, like the whole list of them.
But what Mike Krzyzewski is above all else and what Duke is, is above all else is Duke above all else is a capitalist empire. And Krzyzewski is absolutely on board with that. He teaches this class at Fuqua and all of that stuff. And what he wasn't about to be doing is that Gary Williams was willing to lose. He was willing to lose to do things the way that he wanted to do them.
Krzyzewski has never been that guy.
Can I tell you my favorite thing about that right fast? My favorite thing about that is it's a comedy piece, right? We talk about why it is that black people hate Duke basketball and we run through it all the way. But it was the first episode. It's the only episode where we did not do it with a studio audience.
And buddy, you'd have no idea how many people didn't understand that that was supposed to be fun. They thought it was dead serious and they were mad. Mad. Oh, interesting.
No, we did something a couple months ago in Raleigh, and we played that clip for a live audience. And they laughed, and it was one of those gratifying moments of my life because I finally got to see that piece as it was intended to be. But we just didn't know. We were just like, we don't need a laugh track. We don't need it. No, no, no. Yeah, you do. You do. You do.
It's not about how funny you are.
It is definitely interesting, right? And what I find to be interesting about it is I have a good friend who refers to Jordan Hudson as fancy in a metaphor that I think a lot of our listeners can understand. From Reba McIntyre. Here's your one chance, Fancy. Don't let me down. This is Fancy's one chance. And Fancy is making the most of it. Fancy done got her $8 million in real estate.
Fancy is showing up. Like, you look at Fancy's clothes. I hadn't thought about it as Fancy. Yeah. I was at a party at the Super Bowl where Belichick pulled up with Fancy. And she's ready for her close-up, man. Like, I am amazed at how prepared she has been to get all this done.
Matt, he took a video slash picture on his back on the beach with his feet up and her on his feet. That is my favorite part of this whole thing. Because love will have you do any old thing. Ain't nothing too goofy for love. And he is loving her out loud. Like she got some nerve.
And look, I'd say, and that's, I was about to say, and that's part of the thing. Like Bill's old, the girlfriend he had for all those years, she would put pictures of him on the internet. Right. In large part. Cause I don't think he really knows how it works because somebody asked him about it in the CBS news interview. And he was kind of like, I didn't know anybody had seen that picture. Right.
Like he's got all these things going on. He has no clue, but she somewhere along the way convinced herself that she knew how to do this. And I think she figured out that these jobs are like a lot of jobs, that it's intuitive. She thinks she has an intuitive understanding of how to be the first lady of these things. And she's like, you guys, you need to update your shit for the 21st century.
Bill Belichick is like a caveman to her. And so what I think is most interesting is this is all the talk we're doing before they play games. I don't think that Bill Belichick changes anything about North Carolina.
This is a over under 7.5 win program. Like Kentucky is an over under six win program, right? Yeah. And Mark Stoops can get you consistently eight. And now people are used to that. And so they get a little antsy about whether or not eight is good enough for you.
I think that Carolina is going to still be a seven and a half win program because I don't know if you guys realize this, but the last time you saw Bill Belichick coaching, he wasn't good at it.
