25.951 - 46.255 Logan Murdock

We basically live up to all your stereotypes that we talk about the Lakers. Talked about it for like 18 minutes. Haven't talked about them in a while. So we had to live up to the stereotypes. Then we talk about the Nuggets, the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Cavs. Talk about the Pistons, who is a favorite of the real ones. Then we get into a couple other things centered around DeAndre Ayton.

66.159 - 88.609 Logan Murdock

Real ones. Logan Murdoch here. Howard Beck there. Beck, it's Friday. No, uh, Roger, he's on the recruiting trail, but I still want to keep the rundown the same. I want to do a vibe check of teams that we just find interesting in the backstretch of the season. See where they're at. Not necessarily come to any conclusions. Just where they at in the season. How do we feel about their vibe?

Chapter 5: How are the Boston Celtics performing as they approach the playoffs?

88.99 - 114.005 Logan Murdock

What's going to happen? Um, and I promise this wasn't, well, it was planned. But I didn't know that they were going to catastrophically collapse last night in the way that they did in Phoenix. But the first vibe check. It's the Los Angeles Lakers who have had a hell of a week. They began the week losing to the Orlando Magic because neither one of their stars, they were just playing hot potato.

114.666 - 139.2 Logan Murdock

And LeBron, it was like the first real controversy between LeBron and Luka, like for real, for real. And then, you know, we get all this noise, the McMiniman story on DeAndre Ayton, who's not Clint Capella. And then we get last night's Okay, I would start off by asking you, How's the vibe in LA?

0

Chapter 6: What impact has James Harden had on the Cleveland Cavaliers' vibes?

139.22 - 148.774 Logan Murdock

But we're very clear what the vibe is. Can the vibe be resurrected in time with the next few weeks of the season coming up?

0

148.934 - 156.384 Unknown

You said we weren't going to draw any conclusions, but that's a conclusion drawing question. The answer is no.

Chapter 7: What are the Detroit Pistons' strengths and weaknesses this season?

161.652 - 176.764 Unknown

Moving on. Next team. I mean, boy, vibe check, bad. If we were trying to find the right physical manifestation of the vibes in LA, you ever use an electric toothbrush?

0

Chapter 8: Who is the Real One of the Week and why?

177.405 - 188.017 Unknown

I use one every day, every morning. All right. So if you don't change the head out on some of these, like the Sonicare, especially the old school Sonicare, and the water's been built up in there.

0

188.037 - 189.118 Logan Murdock

And the new Sonicare's as well.

0

189.672 - 209.295 Unknown

Yeah, no free ads on the pod. Sonicare, if you want to sponsor us, we're right here. The water buildup, the calcium and all the stuff that's left behind, if you don't clean that shit, if you don't change the head... It just gets all gunked up, and then there is no vibe. You turn that thing on, it's just like that.

0

209.335 - 212.502 Logan Murdock

They haven't changed their Sonicare head in like a year.

0

212.923 - 230.153 Unknown

The Lakers are a gunked up electric toothbrush. That is the vibe right now. A gunked up electric toothbrush that when you hit the button, it's just like going... It's not like vibrate. It can't get anything off your teeth. So sad. It's just like this light hum. That's the vibe in LA right now at best.

230.914 - 239.426 Unknown

I don't know about the hot potato thing because like hot potato requires both guys passing it back and forth. And this was just like Luca going like, am I going to shoot it? No, I'm not going to shoot it.

239.446 - 240.507 Raja Bell

You're like short circuiting.

240.527 - 247.116 Unknown

Oh, no. Yeah. Yeah. There's just like... And then last night, like you can't... I'm sorry.

247.677 - 247.877

I'm sorry.
