What’s the opening joke about Jared Goff and 'Molotov cocktail' throws?

Unknown 0:01

Jared Goff. Even though it looks like he's throwing Molotov cocktails out there, he don't have the strongest arms. It's efficient.

Bruno Satin 0:08

The man's on time, right?

Unknown 0:10

Right, exactly. I don't care how I get there. It's like the Spirit Airlines of passing.

Vinny Rotino 0:15

There was so much in that one statement.

Unknown 0:17

The Spirit Airlines of passing.

Vinny Rotino 0:20

Molotov cocktails. Emery gave us analogy on top of analogy.

Matt Spiegel 0:26

He always does. He speaks my language.

Vinny Rotino 0:29

I've got one for you tomorrow, by the way, that I forgot to mention in our meeting. So now it goes to tomorrow. Thanks to our guests, Emery Hunt. Thanks to RM Layton from Philly, side of the MLB All-Star Game. Thanks to Ray Diaz, Tyler Buterbaugh, Brandon Pryor, Cody Westerlund, Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, and Max Curtis. And thanks to guys imitating the throwing of Molotov cocktails

Laurence Holmes 0:52

Why does it have to be thrown that way? Well, because you don't want it. Not that I would know.

Matt Spiegel 0:56

I was just going to say that looked like some very learned mimicry.

Laurence Holmes 1:00

You don't want it in front of you as you're drawing back. Because of the fire.

Vinny Rotino 1:04

Right. Lawrence Holmes and Matt Spiegel.

Laurence Holmes 1:06

But you want to get maximum distance on it. We're going javelin slash discus. style yeah you want to make sure you get your hips into that your hamstrings train on it lawrence the discus would have like a spin you need to spin first no because spinning would it would take the flames everywhere and and it might cost you some time yeah you want to get rid of that thing you want to get the maximum distance in the minimum amount of time that's in your hand so the molotov cocktail is like the long wick that's a flame but it's into the bottle what's in the bottle

Matt Spiegel 1:40

something that's going to light on fire explosive things yeah and and you're looking to damage some people on the property like opinions about caleb williams and or opinions about caleb wilson yes You think we got two? You think we got two world-class athlete, alpha killer mentality Calebs? Did you hear the post-press conference where he's like, you lost the game.

Who are the guests and listeners acknowledged at the start of the show?

Matt Spiegel 2:07

I mean, it's one thing to be deep at Caleb, but it's another to be deep at full-on killer superstar badass Calebs. We might have two. Everything I've heard from that man, and he is a grown man, Mr. Wilson, everything I've heard from him since he got drafted has just reaffirmed that That's the guy. Yeah, right. It feels like that. And it's pretty damn exciting, especially he likes While My Guitar Gently Weeps. That was one of his favorite Beatles songs. So everything feels like that's the guy. AK got a job. What a perfect job. Did you see AK's job, Lars?

Vinny Rotino 2:40

Spiegel looked like he was going to say something, and then he said something else.

Matt Spiegel 2:44

European scout? Essentially. He's overseeing European relationships for the NBA.

Laurence Holmes 2:51

He's overseeing overseas?

Matt Spiegel 2:52

Yeah, exactly. He's helping Adam Silver. But he's not an overseer, because that's a different thing. Consultation on NBA Europe. That's a great job for him.

Laurence Holmes 3:02

Isn't that perfect? That's a great job. He'll do well at that job.

Matt Spiegel 3:06

He can just use his relationships. He can be congenial. He can travel. He doesn't have to lead nothing. Nope. Will he get another shot, though? Will he get another front office shot? Not as the boss. That man will never be a boss again.

Vinny Rotino 3:21

Some really bad decisions.

Matt Spiegel 3:22

But if he goes somewhere under someone else and then works his way through.

Laurence Holmes 3:26

Yeah, but there's all these other guys that are on their way up. And it's like, why do I want to do that?

Vinny Rotino 3:31

Who's manning the camera on ESPN? Did you guys see that? Austin Reeves. It looks like... All that money that he got? It was terrible. The shot of Austin Reeves talking just now.

Matt Spiegel 3:42

Since it's on both these screens right now, do you have a team you want to see LeBron James play for next year? Do you have a preference? I predicted Cleveland, so now I want to be right. I'll admit that I'd like to be right. I thought that was already out. What's that? That Cleveland was off the table.

Vinny Rotino 3:55

Is it? Kenny Atkinson was out here talking about it.

Laurence Holmes 3:58

Oh, maybe I misread something somewhere. Was it not on the dry erase board? The dry erase board was amazing.
