Hey, man, there was no smell, so I was good.
Yes, well, that's what happens when you make fart noises with my mouth.
I was told there were, yeah, I was told that sports radio is fart jokes.
I was told it was penis jokes. But, I mean, fart jokes also work. Wow. Yeah, okay. I feel like that took another step.
It was an elevation, for sure.
Did it really, though?
Yeah, I think so. I don't know.

Chapter 2: How do the hosts react to humorous moments during the show?
Joe.
Yo, Joe. See? I guess so. I mean, whatever it takes to please you guys. We're here. We're ready to chat. Talk about everything. Everything? You sure about that? Yeah, man. You sure about that? Everything. Hey, did you see Luka and LeBron have absolutely no chemistry last night? The big moment?
Do you strike that as what that is or just an awkward moment? Like one awkward moment?
Luka should have taken the shot.
Yeah, why didn't he take the shot?
He had the look and then the defenders converged like, oh, I should probably pass it.
LeBron wants no part of playing with Luka. Wants no part. I thought he wanted Luka to be a Laker. And then he got a taste of it. If he did want it.
Are you saying... Leading the league in scoring?
Sure. Okay. Speaks.

Chapter 3: What insights are shared about Luka and LeBron's chemistry?
I know. He's never going to make another finals. I'll make that wager with you. That man does not care enough to actually be a part of a team that gets there. Ready? $100. $100. We are shaking hands on this. Write it down. Dump him. Dump him. Danny, Dr. NBA, Chris Tannehill is putting his hands on his head. A few months later. The Lakers in the air. NBA Finals.
The amazing part of the bet is I've got a long time to see it play out. Speaks might not have as long.
I can't wait like 10 years. We just shook on it. I need three to one odds. Too late. Too late. Damn it. I blew it.
Dr. NBA wants to know if there will be adjustment for inflation on this bet.
That's a fair point. I need to talk to Dr. Inflation about that. Paging Dr. NBA.
Marshall's got this Shohei Otani bet. You have deferred money until 2036.
That is one way to look at it, Lawrence. That's one way to look at it. I am. No, NBA has been fun, except for, you know, the Bulls. But I'm fine with the Bulls, too, right now, because just lose it out. Not just the Bulls. I'm sorry. There's a good third of the league who's not fun.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of LeBron's playing preferences?
No, just take your L's and just a steady dive.
They took one last night. They're doing it. You're right. They're doing it. That pivot to nowhere is working out. It really is.
Doesn't it always?
It's late. It's very late.
Layla looks in the mirror.
My point is, this fan base is telling you, like when I post my little videos about the Bulls, everybody's like, yeah, take away. Get all the Ls. If you had just done this, you could have literally done this last offseason and said, all right, Modest, the ship is yours. Go have fun with your, whoever, G-Leaguers, Lachlan Ulbrich and Emmanuel Miller.
They should have done that.
If they had done that, they'd be in much better shape. First of all, they'd probably have a first-round pick. an extra first-round pick besides the lottery-protected Portland Trailblazers pick. If they had done that, if they had made the trade with New Orleans, they could be sitting pretty.
Problem is, even if they had done all the things I just said, I still don't know that the right person's in charge to lead them into the future. That's the problem. Oh, there's a lot of problems. That's the main problem. No, that's the biggest problem. Regardless of everything I just said, that's the biggest problem.

Chapter 5: How do the hosts evaluate the current state of the Bulls?
I don't know about his aunt to. But... That's what I'm saying. I know about his game.
I'm watching these college games and I'm looking for guys with aunt two. Guys who can shoot and finish and have aunt two. How do you feel about Boozer? I like Boozer. I like him a lot. Did I hear... But he's gone, he's gone. You've got to be a tank-a-thon winner, essentially, to end up with Boozer, Peterson, or Devonsa. I think those are your top three, most likely.
Don't forget the coin flip that decided whether or not the Bulls were going to get... Cooper Flagg.
Yeah.
He would have been good.
He would have been good to get.
Did I hear you issue an old in front of somebody's name in one of the, like, I listened to you guys' show. I want to say it was on, was it on Friday when you guys did an old so-and-so? Somewhere in there, Speegs, you've gotten on board with the midday show, like when we say old Joe Tooney or old Grady Jarrett.
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I'm definitely on board. Old Republic is what started it for me.
Old Republic is what started it.

Chapter 6: What factors influence the drafting decisions of NBA teams?
Let's not allow the Bears' luck last year to make us believe that that position is not important. A whole lot of luck.
Actually, you know who was a very good example of that was the pass rush that they were facing on the left side with teams who can pass rush. Like, you know, Max Crosby.
Well, I think Cole Komet's value as chip help and max protect was enormous, as was Durham Smythe's, you know?
Durham Smythe was low-key very important.
I think he was underrated. Yeah, I mean, Lawrence, you caught the very sexy tight end usage comments yesterday from Ben Johnson. It was great stuff. About the way that the league is trending. I know, it's getting them all hot and bothered, my guy over there. You love when a league adjusts back to itself.
Yes, it's part of the whole history of the league. It's punch, counterpunch, punch, counterpunch. And we're seeing it play out now, whether we're talking about hybrid defenders or if we're talking about how you end up sending out your personnel to attack things. The way that people are like, well, we don't have to be in 11 personnel 77% of the time.
Yeah. We can get creative. It's like it's in an MLB. We saw it play out slow when everybody was a sinker baller. And then the launch angle revolution changed the swings. And then everybody started going after four seamers with carry and breaking balls that look like the four seamer. And now you got a lot of hitters trying to go back to starting above the
from a mindset and actually swinging down, which really just keeps you swinging level. So in all leagues, those kind of things are fascinating when you zoom out.
Adjustments to the adjustments to the adjustments to the adjustments.
