Klaas Olssonin asiakaskuulutus. Meillä on uutinen, joka koskee kaikkia asiakaitamme. Viikko kaksi ja kolme eivät ole vuoden synkimmät viikot. Päinvastoin. Tarjoamme nyt 30% alennuksen Northlightin kato- ja pöytävalaisimista. Ja kaiken lisäksi lampuista miinus 20%. LähiTapiolla's customer benefit is now 25% lower. LähiTapiolla is a medium-sized insurance company. Customer benefits are increased annually. LähiTapiolla, on the same side. LähiTapiolla Lidl. Cheapest prices since 2002. And still the cheapest. Lidl. It's worth it.
Usually we do circle of trust. That's too binary. You're either in or you're out. I think the circle of trust is kind of a scale in a lot of ways. You know, on a scale of one to 10, I'm curious, 10 being supreme trust as in their role, I'm saying, not like you trust them to freelance and whatever, but in the role that they are assigned, one being, I don't trust them at all. They'll go in and screw it up every time. 10B, I can't imagine them ever screwing it up. Where are you with Zeke Najee?
It's a good one to start.
I've seen one. I've seen eight. Yeah. Right now, if I were to tell you, what's your level of trust? Because it was a one for so long. I think it's like a six right now.
Wow. I was actually going to say six, too.
That's so high to me. Okay.
But because... even in this role where he's excelled it's not like he's stepping out of something that he can't duplicate like replicate like this is not something that he can't do again and again he's not having a a payton watson type of like he's averaging 20 since you know however long it's not anything like that it's can you go in there can you ratchet up the game can you rebound Can you defend, you know, one of these bigger guys and be the backup center role for a small amount of time? He has shown that he is able to do that. He has the body to do it. He has the athleticism. He has the footwork to be able to defend on an island and things like that. So I do think this is something that if he gets more times, he's going to be able to continue to do this.
So I'm higher on Zeke right now because I think he could continue this.
Six is high. I love that the chat's playing along, by the way. Give me your number. 5.55, for sure. 5.55.
That's the right number. We got the chat with it, too.
We're all on the same wavelength. So that's where you're going? 5.55?
Honestly, about that. Like a little over five seems about right.
Like a 5.55?
With how he's been playing?
Yeah. 5.55-ish? I'm way lower than you guys. You guys are riding the Zeke high. He's been playing great, and I've been loving it. But if you told me, like, tonight is Zeke going to play great, I'm probably more in the, like, 3.5-ish. Three and a half. What does the great look like, though? What's that? What does great look like? Great has looked good. It's looked good.
How do the hosts rate their trust in Zeke Nnaji's abilities?
I just am not expecting it every day. I'm not to the point where I'm expecting it more than I'm not expecting it. It's that he keeps surprising me. Yeah. But by definition, I'm surprised. I would be surprised tonight if he played well, and I might go all the way up to a four.
i mean i think i'm a little past the point where i'm surprised if he keeps doing what he's been doing like what he's done i think is trustworthy yeah and so i guess going a little over five would be exactly that like i'm i'm not totally taken off guard if he keeps stacking these types of games that's kind of what i expect right now
I will say, man, every game he puts together, though, is pretty big. Let's go to the next guy, Jalen Pickett. I'll let you start. Where are you at? By the way, with Zeke, I was a one. So this is impressive to go from one to three and a half.
Yeah, I was probably in the one-two range. With Jalen Pickett, I'd probably go nine. Oh, wow.
Really high on him.
Yeah. I thought I was the Jalen Pickett guy. I don't see how you really couldn't be based on what he's done as of late. If we're thinking about the whole season and his whole career, it might be a little different, but right now, based off his play the last couple weeks, I'm at 8-9 for sure.
