Run it up, do run it back, yeah.  Good morning and welcome to Run It Back here at Fandral TV. We are excited to bring you an hour of NBA Entertainment Talk. Right, guys? Can't wait. I feel like you're not buying in. That's fine. Jailor Parsons, Lou Will on the end there, and of course, Shom Shirania joining us from his abode in Chicago. Shom looks fresh today. I know. What's going on, Shom? That haircut, oh, we got different. Trade deadline prep? We got a haircut, we got trade deadline prep, but I don't think anyone's as smooth as Michelle this morning. Let's be honest. Look at the jacket, look at the pants.  Let's give Michelle some love. Keep it real. I wish we could see what's happening below. You could see from down there. She would not have said that. The blazer was a late ad. All canceled out. We had a lot of games actually last night, and some good ones, some good matchups. This one being one, T-Wolves, Thunder. Yeah, Minnesota wins this one, 107-101. They all scored OKC by 10 in the fourth. You don't want that. Anthony Edwards had 27, Kat with 21 and 10 rebounds, SGA 37, 7 and 8, and Mike Conley missing four out of the last five games with the hamstring. So the physicality of this game is where we're gonna start. Anthony Edwards had this to say when asked how they pulled off the win. I don't know, I don't know. And I'm gonna take the fine because the refs did not give us no calls tonight. We had to play through every bump, every grab. I don't know. Big shout out to my team. Big shout out to my coaches for sure. I like it. He said cheat has revs. He's like, I'll take the fine. He knew and he went in. It's on a way. How do we feel about it? Was he right?  And I watched this game, and the way Shade plays, it is hard to guard him without fouling. He's so fast. He's so quick. He's got a real, and that was an obvious foul too. It's crazy. Listen, do I think these refs are cheating? No, but I do think they're getting a little hesitant in certain situations to blow the whistle. It just so happens to be that he's on that side of it a lot of the times. Like I said, in Garden SGA, it's tough. He's so crafty. He's so smooth. He's so fast where he kind of initiates the contact. And it's extremely frustrating, you know, for the opposing player. But it's throughout a season, I imagine it's gonna balance out. The numbers are gonna kind of equal. But this was a huge win. And this was a big, big, they made big plays down the stretch, fourth quarter, a lot of guys stepped up. They made a crazy amount of threes in the fourth quarter. And this was a huge win, because teams are talking about, you know, this is one and two, but are they really, there's the other teams behind them? But this was a huge win for Minnesota. They showed maturity and it was without Mike Conley. Yeah, what does it say about the fact that they were able to do this with that kind of a frustration? No Mike Conley on the road. I thought that experience was good for them. These are growing experiences for a young team who's trying to find its way at the top of the Western Conference, right?  So for them to bounce back, take that experience, make this one a positive experience to move forward. This is good for them, especially moving forward, getting ready for the post-season. It's gonna be a lot of games where they're not gonna get the benefit of that whistle. And so for them to do that on the road against a team, that they're gonna battle for quite some time now. That was good for them. I have this luxury with Kyle Anderson and McDaniels that are both these long athletic wings that can defend these explosive guards like Shay. They can switch, they can go on multiple different actions and cover it well. So I do like the balance where Anthony Edwards can play both sides of the ball. But when you have a luxury like those two guys that can really defend and lock up, it helps a lot down the stretch. Crazy, they're still number one in the West, Shoms. What was your takeaway from this one? Just the balance. I mean, we see it every night but Anthony Edwards, the performance that he had, 27 points, four rebounds, four assists. Carl Anthony Towns, he's been consistent, super consistent, I think, since really the beginning of the season. It hasn't really been an issue of host team. It is, he knows it's Anthony Edwards team. Carl Anthony Towns has been playing at a high level. Rudy Goberto, 12 points, 18 rebounds. So the multiple efforts that they have. And then Tim Connolly, their president, it's crazy. He has Denver, he built, he was the architect of that Denver team. They're a top, one of the top teams in the West. And now he has Minnesota among the top teams in the West. And I think he's gonna be aggressive in this trade market. Alex Rodriguez, Mark Lorre, they're new owners. They want the team and the organization to be aggressive and really willing to spend.  And I think they're gonna be aggressive. It's still weird to hear Alex Rodriguez as a part owner of this thing. Look, the thunder right now are 28 and two when leading going into the fourth quarter. Those two losses, Minnesota. Maybe it's too early to say this is a team that has their number, but what do you learn when this has happened now twice? Well, I think they have been really good in the fourth quarter. And Jaylen Williams especially, I think he's, I think we said yesterday, he's 13, they're 14, then they're in the fourth quarter points.  This was the first game last night. Chet looked like a rookie. He looked lost in certain plays. There is certain choices where if I'm them, I'm going after a veteran big because there's too many possessions where he's getting bullied. Rudy Gobert kind of looked like a man playing against a boy last night in certain plays. So that to me is a glaring hole where they at least need some sort of physicality with size to relieve pressure for them. Let him play that stretch four instead of playing the center position. But yeah, obviously this happened twice, but the fact they only have two losses blown like that, that's a huge sign for such a young team. Right, the only thing I would take away from it is just might be a matchup issue, you know, with these two groups because I can't say they need to close, they need to learn how to close games. They're 28 and two when leading and going into the fourth quarter. So that's not an issue for them. I think they gotta figure out in order for them to be successful and get past the Minnesota Timberwolves, they're gonna have to find those groups for them to finish those games and be able to get those wins against this group. Well, he was back. Doc Rivers making his coaching debut last night with the Bucks, but the Nuggets beat them. 113-107, Nikola Jokic 25-6-9-12 is 14th triple double this season, Jamal Murray with 35. Yanis threw in 29-12 rebounds and Dame had 18 with five assists. Of course it's Doc's first game as coach of the Bucks. Did you see anything different in the team? Well, they got off to a crazy good start when I was watching this game, but their offense was moving, they were sharing the ball and Doc, even after the game last night, he keeps emphasizing we. We have to do this to get the goal. Their goal is obviously to win a championship and they have that talent right now. They only gave up 113 points, I think it was, to the Nuggets, which to these days isn't that bad. So when you can get them around 25-29 points per quarter, you're gonna be in games, especially with this offense. So I think it's gonna take time. I didn't see any drastic changes in their coverages. I didn't see what it was interesting to see his rotations. I was interested to see his play calls. Who got the first possession of the game? Things like that, that Doc's gonna just have to get used to, but I thought they looked good. I loved them, plus four, they should have covered last night. Honestly, if John had traveled at the end of the game, would have covered, but they looked good. This was a tough first game for Doc to come back and Denver against his team, but I think we'll see this team kind of start to figure it out and start seeing the rotations settle in and this team just start to peek. Expecting massive differences. Shoms, talk to me about the deadline approach for the Bucks now that Doc is in place. I'm told the Bucks have been active over the last few days and I think they're gonna continue to be active on the market to try to find some perimeter defense. They have two second round picks that they can use. One being the 2024 Portland second round pick. That's gonna be a high second round pick, obviously with Portland and the season that they're having. So they don't have many contracts to play with right now. They made their big move getting Damian Lillard. They don't have any first round picks available. They don't have swaps, but they do have those two second round picks. They have some salaries to potentially match and go get a perimeter defender. Doc Rivers said last night he's pleased defensively with how they looked and they competed. And I do think under Doc Rivers they're gonna be better defensively. They're gonna be more organized, but I do expect John Horst and the Bucks to be aggressive in the marketplace. We talk so much about the T-Wolves and the Thunder, but we also sort of always add the caveat of, we'll see Clippers, of course, you guys both love the Clippers, but the Nuggets are a half game out of first place in the West and they're only a game behind the pace that they had last year, Lou. Are we just not talking about them because we know they're going to be there or are we not giving them the right amount of respect? No, this team doesn't have a shortage of respect.  This is gonna be an easy one. You gotta lace your boots up when you play against this team. I think Denver has one thing going for them that other teams don't. Their star player could care less about respect or them being talked about or any of those things. I think this group, they prefer to fly under the radar and play this way. And listen, they're one of the best well-oiled machines that we're gonna see this year as far as chemistry goes and teams that's been there. They've been to the top of the mound. They know what it takes. They don't need to talk. They don't need to hear it. They don't need to respect, to trust or any of that stuff. So I don't think there's a shortage of it. Yeah, they're all reliable, right? All these other teams make all these big changes. The Clippers, a new team. The Box of Phoenix going through their ups and downs with the Big Three. This team, for the most part, is their core. They're back. They're the champs till someone knocks them off. So this is a team that, again, like Luda said, they're the perfect team for the postseason. They don't care about what seed. They don't care about stats. They don't care about all NBA. These guys just grind together. They play extremely well. They defend. They can shoot. So this team is going to be a tough out in the playoffs. It's just, you're right though. We don't talk about them enough. Yeah, I think we're just taking it for granted. Like we just know they're gonna be there. I ask you, which duo would you rather have? Yokic and Murray or Yanis and Dame? I mean, I'd rather have Yokic or Murray. They just want a championship. When Murray is healthy, he is a game changer. He's one of the better guards in this league. When he's healthy, it's just always been a concern. Dame and Yanis offensively has showed that it's been successful, but let's face it, the fact of fact, their coach just got fired after 33 games for something. So I'm probably gonna go with the duo that has a championship and the guy that's a historic center in this league with Yokic. And they just play better. The Denver Nuggets, they play better. That team is a lot better when it comes to chemistry. And that's because of these two guys. Give me the two guys that's won a championship already and still in the running to try to do it again. Here we go. I know this is the topic we've been most excited for. Lou, looking at you. Ben Simmons, big return back injury played for the first time since November 6th. He had 10 points, eight rebounds, 11 assists, five for five from the field in 18 minutes off the bench. After the game, Simmons had this quote, as soon as I checked in, I told them, you know what time it is. He also said, it's always a fast break when I have the ball. I honestly thought these were not real quotes, guys. Which one's your favorite? I'm just confused, because here. I love it. Here we go. Here we go. Close up of Chandler, thank you. Everything he's been through. And by the way, he played very good last night, right? There you go. This is why I think everyone was so confused, because he's physical, he's talented. He can't shoot, but who cares? Because he can do this other thing where he involves himself in the game in so many other aspects. So when you come, and then you say things like this, it's just like, what do we do, man? You have one game back, your team won. Let's not give us anything bad to talk about.  They're not real. They're arrogant. They are real. But they shouldn't be real. Yeah, it's just, it's crazy. It's crazy that that's what we're talking about after the guy had 10 points, eight rebounds, 11 assists, and 18 minutes, which is an unbelievable stat line. The team won. It's the first time they've won consecutive games since December 23rd.  Why would you do it? Lou loves it. Lou just, he does it. Well, in a weird sort of- He can't. Glad it's not me, honey. The one thing I enjoy about Ben Simmons, is I'm glad he's healthy. I'm glad he's back on the floor. And I'm glad he's actually showing some confidence in himself. Is it confidence or delusion? I'm gonna say it's confidence because I was part of the series when it started going downhill, when people started saying that he lacked confidence.   The most important part is just staying healthy. But at the end of the day, listen, we're all arrogant at some point in our athletic abilities. I'm cool with him showing it. It's cool. And I will say this. I'd rather this version of him, that is confident and borderline arrogant than having mental issues and missing games because of it. So- If we have to pick. Yeah, this is what it takes to have him on the floor and healthy and doing things like he did last night. Keep saying stuff like this. I thought he played great last night. Just don't give, don't give us any more, anything else to talk about besides basketball. Always a fast break when I have the ball. That's a fact. Cause half court, listen, half court. The one time it is, that one's a little strange. Isn't that already taken? The same time thing? I didn't see the clips. I didn't hear the context. I didn't hear the tone. So- But when it was in our thread, did you not think it was fake? I thought it was fake. I thought it was fake. Yes, I thought it was fake. That's what it's with on our thread. So there's that. By the way, if a guy doesn't want to shoot or doesn't seem comfortable shooting realistically, what should we be doing with that? He shot 100% from the field last night. He did. Do you think that will, I mean, how to get him to play his shots? It is, what it is. He shot 100% from the field last night where the day would live tonight. He was efficient. And again, let's give him credit. Maybe he's found something that works for him. And you could hide him in the dunker. You can get out in transition where guys run to a three point line. He's not doing that. He's going to the rim. He's cutting back door. He's catching lobs. He's going to have to find ways like that because he can't shoot. He's not comfortable shooting and he'll never be a shooter. As long as he can shoot 60 to 70% from the free throw line and not be scared to go to the free throw line, he can still be a valuable, valuable player. But you can see sometimes he gets so timid. He just gets hot potato because he doesn't want to shoot or doesn't want to get fouled. So with that being said, it's for him to be effective, it's going to have to be a fast break every time he asks for ball. Every time. That's where he plays the best. If you slow him down, make him play half court basketball. I think you see a different version of Ben Simmons. So I'm cool with this.  Let's get stops and let's get out and run so I can be successful. Two teams go to like hack of Ben. Absolutely. That's the other game. You're going to see, we're going to see all the trash. See that's, and that will be when it gets interesting. Yeah, you're going to see guys lagging off of them 10 feet, you're going to see the hack of Shaq approach. You're going to see all of those things. They're going to make them prove it. By the way, do we like these uniforms? I can't, I can't figure out. No, I know. They're kind of a lot. Okay. And I like colorful things. The villain back at it. My favorite rivalry. Dylan Brooks and LeBron. Last night he was given a flagrant for a hit on LeBron. That was after he had pushed Jared Vanderbilt in the back on a dunk attempt. Dylan later gave a nudge to Vanderbilt who then retaliated, was eventually ejected. LeBron refused to answer questions about Dylan Brooks after this one. But Anthony Davis did respond. Take a listen. Both. I mean, you can take a hard foul part of basketball, but you're just not going to blatantly just push someone in their back, you know, when they have no control of their body in the air. I think he should have got ejected for that. And then, you know, the blatant, obviously, you know that him and Brian have there, whatever. And from what I saw, they were just a blatant hit from Brian to the face. So, the ref saw it differently. That's where it is, though. I thought that was a very calm response. Should he have been ejected? I will say, I didn't. His reputation, yeah. Yeah. So that's going to always exceed himself, and he's always going to not get the benefit of the doubt. It's like Draymond's situation. He can't do certain things other guys can. So, yeah, I didn't watch this game. So I didn't see like the flow of it. If it was getting physical, if refs just kind of, you know, quick whistle to get it. But if I'm just watching that play and it's somebody else, I don't think he'd get ejected for it. If this is Rui Hachimori doing this to Tate, no, I don't think he gets ejected. But, again, Dylan has to be smart. They know the fake rivalry that these guys have. And I'm sorry, did you say fake rivalry? This is not a rivalry. No, no, no, no. This is a battle between them. It's like a Reuben Patterson-Coby thing. One guy is trying to make it something. It's not. I love this. Hey, Chandler, in LeBron's 21-year career, when they put his five-minute highlight reel together, do you think Dylan puts something apart of it? That's why I said fake. It's not a, but I do hate that LeBron, like, no comment. Like, don't even give it the benefit of itself. So what, yeah, what do you think about, because I feel like that's- You're making it something it's not by saying this and, yeah, then you're, you're feeding into this rivalry that people will think now it's something because you don't want to answer questions. You don't even want to speak this guy's name. I thought it was well played. I thought LeBron did exactly what he's supposed to do. Let's not put any, put any fire on this and give him more attention than what is needed. This is not a rivalry until somebody's game start becoming meaningful. This is not a rivalry. Why can't you let us have this, Lou? And I don't think that foul was any change in either. No, that's what I'm saying. It's who did it. It's not the actual act. I mean, if he really wants to be a villain, make it a clear one. Yeah. Okay, well, maybe next time. No. I'm not advocating. You know what I mean? What do you want, Lou? Oh, there'll be a next time. Yeah, there'll be a next time. There will be another. Like I told you, he had nothing to do against any of the Knicks. He waits for these moments and- Did he play well? He did. He did. He had 17 points. He was somewhat efficient. You're seven or 12 from the field. And by the way, they beat the breaks off him. It's funny that we're not talking about that. We're talking about this. Well, Houston's a party stop. That's true. Houston's a party stop. You know, that's a place that if the team's not that great, we're going out. We're going to have us a good time. Places to go. Things to do. Yeah. Gotcha. All right. Miami's also a party stop. See what I did, Lou? I just turned it right into that. Just standing on business. They lost seven straight. Sun's handing them a 118-105 loss. They're now 24 and 23, sitting at that seventh spot out in the east. They've also given up 118 points a game over this entire seven game losing streak. It's a weird team to ask if you're concerned about, but I'm going to ask, Chandler. Are you concerned about the heat? I am somewhat concerned, but we know that they have this extra gear that they throw it in for the postseason. And it's not like this streak has been bad. The last three games have been outscored by 62 points. They're not even close. They're not competing. They obviously just made the mood for Terry Regiro, which I like. It's going to take time to implement in the offense. They're healthy now, too, so I fully expect them to kind of get off this snide, too. But this is a team that can defend. The team is poised for the postseason, but yeah, you never want to go on a streak like this. This is two, three weeks in a row of losing. There starts to be some friction. You start questioning certain things, but this is a mature team that I do think will get out of this and Sun seemed to have their number. You know how we talked about Golden State and body language and how it feels? I'm starting to feel that way about the Miami Heat. I usually have confidence in this group, figuring it out and going on one of those historic runs and putting themselves in a position where they're in the Eastern Conference Finals or even making it to the NBA Finals. I don't feel that right now. It's a lot of flash without the fire with this group. And it's just something that's missing. I don't know what it is. And with Kyle already being traded, being one of the centerpieces of their culture, of Heat culture, I just don't know. I don't see Jimmy with the boastful energy that's usually there. I don't see Bam be known as chess. I'm just not feeling it. It's something weird going on in Miami right now. And I know afterwards Jimmy Butler was talking about, like we need to figure out how to start having fun again and all. So clearly they're in it. Any time the fun is gone, you have a bad situation, especially guys saying that. If I'm Bam and I'm on a seven game, six game losing streak, I'm not taking nine shots. I'm being aggressive. I'm coming out. He's got to be there. Anthony Davis, where as good as Jimmy Butler is, as good as Hakez and Hero can be, he's their guy and he's got to be dominant for them to succeed. And you get at some point, enough's enough. He's got to go out there, take 25 shots and dominate the game and get your team off this night. All right, Shoms, what worries you about this Miami Heat team? What concerns me is that they haven't been able to get Terry Rosier and Tyler here to play well together yet. They moved Terry Rosier into the starting lineup after a game of him joining the team. And those two guys, that was the question. When you go get Terry Rosier as an offensive minded guard, obviously he can do a little bit of passing, can play make and set the table, but him and Tyler Hero are scorers. And so getting them to play well with each other that hasn't happened yet, Jimmy Butler's usage rate over the last six, seven games during this losing streak. He's been behind some nights, Tyler Hero and Bam out of bio. So how can you get Jimmy Butler with a ball more? This team obviously is more successful when he has the ball in his hands, when he's able to be Jimmy Butler. That usually gets saved for the playoffs, but they need it right now. They need them to get rhythm. But until I think Tyler Hero and Terry Rosier play well together, it's going to be tough. I mean, I'm curious from Lou and Chandler's perspective, how would you get those two guys playing at a high level together when you know both of them want the ball and want to be scorers? Yeah, it's tough too, because when you do lose Kyle Lowry, your point guard now, you're kind of in that Phoenix situation where you don't have that true set up guard. Rosier is a bucket, Tyler Hero is a bucket.  So now he's starting to get pissed off again. He's out of the rotation. So they got to find different rotations and timing. Tyler Hero's a score. He doesn't want to play point guard, like Devin Booker. Don't let him do what he does.  But then on the court, you don't have that vet calm you down on a 9-0 run. You don't have that guy to get you into your offense. You have all these scoring mentality guys. Terry Rosier is new to the city. He's trying to prove himself. Tyler Hero wants to take the next step. He wants to go average, get 30 points a game. So they're going to have to find ways to get these guys to play with in their offense while still getting, bam, their best player touches while Jimmy still can do his thing. And it's going to take time. But again, I think having that point guard is huge for them. And I think they're, you're late in finding that chemistry. You know, you had Duncan Robinson name in trade talk. You had Tyler Hero's name in trade talk. And then you got tricked into keeping that group because you began to be successful. And so you give it another try. And now you're starting to see that maybe we should have made some moves that last season or the season before that when it was being talked about. And so now you're dealing with a chemistry issue and it's showing. And you don't have Gabe Vincent this year. No. You lose Max Drew. So you lose these comfortable, familiar faces that now it's hard. And you can't just trade for a guy and expect it to work. Oh, and keep waiting for March to get here. That's when Jimmy Butler turns it on. So we'll see if that's going to be enough. When we come back, Shom scoops.  Oh, I love that sound. Because it means we've got some scoops with Shoms. All right, Cleveland got Evan Mobley back last night. Where are we on Darius Garland? I'm told Darius Garland plans to make his return Wednesday against the Pistons at home. He's been out since December 14th with a fractured jaw.  He's been rehabbing. He's recovering, getting his weight back. He just got his screws out this week and he's planning to make his return on Wednesday. And this is a team that just got Evan Mobley back. 10 points, nine rebounds and 20 minutes last night. They're 28 and 16. Fifth place, just a half game out. A third, two and a half games out a second. They've really righted the ship without having Evan Mobley and Darius Garland for the last six weeks or so. You guys give JB Bickerstaff a lot of credit. This team has gone through a lot of turbulence. When you think about rumors, when you think about the injuries that this team has had, but they are now in the thick of it in the Eastern Conference. They have a chance to get definitely home court advantage and now they become whole this week. You're on a roll. The jaw thing, how bad is that? Yeah, I broke my jaw and one of the best seasons I was having when I was playing for the 76ers, I wouldn't wish that on anybody. I had my jaw wire shut for eight weeks. So is it just shakes and stuff? You can't eat. Everything is through a straw. And I learned early in that process that everything isn't meant to be blended and drink. Like a turkey sandwich. Yeah, so this is gonna be tough. And one of the positives about it, I was able to work out the entire time. Even though my breathing was affected a little bit, I was still able to get on the court, get a lot of shots of steel, get some conditioning in that. And so Darius Garland, I feel like he's gonna come back and it's gonna be seamless. And by the way, when teams have guys out like Darius Garland and Moby, usually they kind of tinker off. This team has become the hottest team in the NBA. They've won 10 and won in their last 11 games. Don't you hate that? Yeah, so like it's now like Craig Porter, Jr., a friend of the show. Friend of the show, obviously. He's kind of found his way. Sam Merrill's shooting the ball. Dean Wade, so like these other guys that haven't been getting opportunity, they've taken real advantage of that and JB Biggerstaff now has this luxury of having this experience bench that can produce when their main guys are out. So this team, this is how I expected them to start. I expected them to have the great year last year. First round exits to the next. I thought they'd come with a sour taste in their mouth, but now we're starting to see them put it together and they're starting to click. Have you ever thought about having your Josh wired shut? Never. Okay. I've also never thought about it. Something to think about. Shoms, a lot of offense this season so far. Are there any talks, discussions on how the league's looking at that? This might be the stat of the season for me. The first 75 years of the NBA's existence, six players scored 70 points or more. And just over the last year, four players have done it. We know, I think from an individual perspective, there's been an uptick of performances. We saw Luka Dantje, Joel and B scored 70 over the last week or so. I'm told there was a competition committee meeting earlier this month. GM's players spoke on it and spoke about finding ways to allow more allowance on defense and more balance, more ability for players, for guys to play defense. I think the league, all those parties, players, GM's, team governors, they're all gonna continue to discuss how that looks and how to allow defenders to go and defend and increase competition. How does that look like? Is it rule changes? Is it allowing more physicality? I think it's on the docket because the players want it, GM's want it, but how does that actually look? I think we'll take some time. Chandler and Lou played, maybe they have some ideas. I think it starts with the rule change. I think guys have so much freedom now and offensive players are so creative that it's impossible to guard.  You can't do that now because the minute there's contact, it's a foul and then you're trying to stay on the court so you're not in foul trouble. So now you see a lot of, you know, Ole defense where guys are just getting to the rim or the guys are getting to their free to line. So it's tough. And guys, again, I think the talent level of the league is a good problem. We're talking about too many points. Like what are we doing? I think that's the first thing that guys mastered scoring and guys can really shoot the basketball. The pace at which the league has played at is much faster now. So I think naturally there's going to be more points scored.   Now guys are giving up 50, 60, 70. Like it's, it should be embarrassing. It's not like, like who's first team all defense? There's are even going to keep defensive awards going this year at this clip because the offense is clearly better than the defense. I mean, when he's, when Sean says the players want it too, there have to be some players that are like, no, I'm good. But then like does Anthony Edwards really want fouls to the, because then he's not going to get those same calls on the other end. So as much as you want to chirp about SGA getting the calls, you want those same foul calls when you're on offense. You also want to see a good product. You want to see a competitive basketball game. And right now we're just not seeing it at the clip that we would like to because you can't touch a guy, because you don't see the physicality, you don't get to see that part of the game. Listen, all of these guys that are historical basketball players, the Gary Paytons of the world, the Reuben Patterson, the Rajah Bills, we're eliminating those guys and their reputations out of the game because you simply can't touch guys. And so you got to get to a point where we add that back in the game and bring that excitement as well. And think about that guys have jobs because they can defend and do that. Now it's like, can you shoot? Can you dribble? You have a job now. Because the defense is such a not a priority. Is that two Reuben Patterson's in one show? Yeah, shout out to Kobe Stopper. All right, that just happened. Shoms, love you mean it. We will see you bright and early in the morning. And we're sticking around because it's build it up or blow it up. Okay, so the trade deadline, as you know, is quickly upon us here. And there are some teams that seem to just be stuck. Chicago being one of them 22 and 25, ninth in the East right now. And we know the rumors. We've talked about them. It's like two seasons now with the Levine and the DeRosin and all that. But they played a little bit better lately. So are we blowing it up? Okay.  Blow it up. Listen, if you're gonna let Zach Lavigne go, free DeMar DeRosin as well. This is, my position is coming from a personal place. I wanna see my brother have an opportunity to compete at the highest level in the later years of his career. I don't wanna see him be wasted away there with floating around in the eighth or ninth spot. Give DeMar DeRosin an opportunity to compete at a high level. Blow it up. Yeah, and this has been rumored since last year. And the teams haven't done it. They re-signed the contract extension to Billy Dobbins. They have their coach moving forward. This is a team where it's not like a young team like a San Antonio or a building team. This team is poised to win right now and they're not winning. It's not working. Well, no matter what the system is, the offense, the character of the guys, whatever. This hasn't worked. You can get a lot for these guys too. They're talking about you can get two first-round picks for Alex Caruso. Imagine what you can get for DeMar DeRosin, for Levine, for Vooch. So they have assets that teams want. Blow it up, because they're not competing this year. Okay, that's two right there for blow it up right off the top. How about the Nets next? 19 and 27, they're 10th in the East. And there are, there's interest in Dorian Finnysmith, Spencer Dinwiddy and Miguel Bridges. Go send them to the Knicks. Blow that up too, I guess. That's the sound effect you're doing. We'll blow it up more than Chicago. At least Chicago has the guys that can go and surprise a team in a playoff series right now. This team has no chance to win. I love Miguel Bridges. I think beside, and Cam Johnson saw it as well. And the best thing for them is that Ben Simmons continues to do it. He did last night, because with that contract, they have, he's got a hold on their situation there. But yeah, guys like Spencer Dinwiddy, Dorian Finnysmith, these are guys that contenders want. These are guys that contenders can use. They have even more pieces, I think, than Chicago. They're not going to win with everything with Kyrie and KD and James. This team is now in full blown rebuilding mode. Blow it up. Guys will always want to come to New York and create and see. Let me ask you a question. Who do you think the best players on the Brooklyn Nets? Bridges. You think Macal Bridges? OK, I agree with you. I don't know if we blow it up. I think we refocus who do we build this team on. Yeah, when I say blow it up, I mean, keep him. Keep other pieces and then get something back for Dinwiddy, for Dorian Finnysmith. I think you keep Macal Bridges. You keep the two cams. You build from there. And so I think they just need to recenter their attention on some of these younger guys opposed to I love Spencer Dinwiddy, but I think it's Macal Bridges team. I love Dorian Finnysmith. I think you can get something valuable for him. The two cams are still very young. You build around those three pieces and keep moving. And again, they're talking New York. You're always going to be in on free agents. All right, so that's a build it up, I heard. All right, we're split on that one, kind of, sort of. Hawks, Lou, 1927, 11th in the East. And the names in that, of course, are Dijante Murray and Bogdanovich. Build it up or blow it up? This is tough for me. This is tough for me. I want to see this organization be successful, like no other. They embraced me at the end of my career. I thought I wasn't going to enjoy my time there. But I ended up loving my experience with the teammates and building with those guys. But I think it's time to blow it up. I think it's time to reset. That group has been together for a number of years now. Have had a lot of highs. They had a lot of lows. And right now, they're in extreme low in a year that they're supposed to be turning the corner and being more successful. You know, we're two years away, two years out from East of Conference finals appearance. And so for this to be basically the same group, sending 11th in the East, it's not working. Blow it up. And this team isn't that young anymore.  And it hasn't translated to that. Look at this team. They have the talent. They've have the guard play. They have Capella and Akangwa. Akangwa. Akangwa. They have the, I love Bogey, too. Like they have Siddique Bay. It doesn't make sense to me that this team's not winning games because they have a little bit of everything. So on the blow-up side, I do think. They've changed coaches. Like it's everything. Yeah, they've changed. All the tools that are there is just not work. So I don't think they have to blow it up, per se. But I think they have enough pieces and assets to move two or three of them and still be in an OK place. Who do you move? Yeah, who do you mean?  He's won. But like, what do they do with Trey Young? There's like, is he their guy still? Yes. If they move Trey Young, that's blowing it up. Yes, but then you still have the Jalen Johnson, the other players that you don't have to go through this full tank rebuild mode. And what can you get for Trey Young right now? That's kind of interesting to me.  You can't. You're going to build to the draft and just stack up assets like Oklahoma City did. I think they have so much talent that even if they do decide to trade two of these guys, they're in an OK place. All right, all right. Raptors 16 and 30 this season. They're 12th in the East. And of course, we already know that Siakum and OG are out. Are they, is this, they're blowing it up in process? I feel like they already have. OK. Is that what you're doing? He's finished the job. They've got this one guy, his name's Scotty Barnes. Yeah. Everyone else is on the child boom block. So I think they're already in the process of it. They've already moved Siakum. They move OG. They get back assets like RJ Barrett, but this is a team. But again, they're also, they have the talent. So it's not like we're looking at like a Charlotte or a Washington that's just stuck with these horrible contracts. They're not going to win for a long time. They have solid players. So when you say blow it up, I don't mean blow it up and go for the number one pick because they're so talented. They're still going to win certain games. But that's almost worse sometimes. Yeah, it's because you're kind of stuck in the middle.  So they're kind of a lot of teams in this gray area. The gray area, six. The jazz, 24 and 24. Well, that's right there. You're just stuck, 10th in the West. So they got Jordan Clarkson, Collins Sexton, Laurie Markinen. Do you keep all three?  What do you do here? Is that a tricky one? You know what, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe by the end of my statement, I haven't figured out. But if you're 24 and 24 in the West with so many good teams playing good basketball, that's pretty decent. I don't think they're playing under par. I think they're playing pretty decent basketball, considering the circumstances.  And so I don't know if you blow it up. You have a lot of good pieces. But I'm curious to see what they do at the deadline and see if they can get better or get some pieces for Collins Sexton or Laurie Markinen or somebody there. So I don't know if you blow it up. I'll build it. They had that stretch, too. Last year, if you remember, we had that kind of Orlando this year, a type of start, where it's like, whoa, what are we doing? I don't even think they realized that that was possible. Laurie Markinen kind of turns into this household name where he's an all-star. So I don't think they blow it up. I think if you can, sure, go get Jordan Clarkson and go get some things back, young to grow at the Walker Kessers with the Chiantay George, these young asses, they have, sure. But again, now there's a reason we're asking about these teams because they're all stuck in this area where they're not quite good. The Lakers are a 500 team. We're not saying blow it up for the Lakers. This team doesn't have the expectation level that the Lakers do. And they're still right there at 500 as well. So I say you build it. And there's just different. I think the Lakers, no doubt, can still win a play off series. I don't think the Utah Jazz can win a play off series. That's the difference. I mean, there's a big difference. This last one did not see having to ask this in the last several years. But the Warriors, 19 and 24, 12th in the West. To say they're trying for a fifth ring, obviously they're trying, but not like this. This has to be blown up, right? Well, yeah, then let's face the facts. They're not going to win a championship with this core anymore.  And that's sad. But this dynasty, again, we almost just stopped talking about it because it's just not the same. Now it's sad. Are they really going to blow it up and trade Clay Thompson and trade drama Green? Probably not. So then the question is, who do they get rid of? What can they get back for in Andrew Wiggins? What can they get back for anybody else? I'm trading everybody, if I'm them, except Kaminga and Steph Curry. Kaminga has now showed me enough where he's a building block for the future. He's versatile. He's so young.  I'm keeping him. Everyone else figure it out. But we have to find a way to maximize Steph Curry for the next two or three years. And they can go and get free agents that want to play with Steph Curry for the next two or three years. So again, I think who can they get for those guys? Are they really going to kind of shake up the world and trade Clay Thompson? I just can't see it. But it's probably the best option at this point. I think that's the only option. Wow. I think that's the only option at this point. Like I like to compare to Kobe. You have such a successful run with Shaq and that group. And then years later, it's not going away. They bring in a pal, Gasol. They bring in all of these other pieces and give you another opportunity to have a championship run. And it worked and it was successful for them. So I think that's the route you go for Steph Curry. You give them one more chance. You give them one more hurrah with a completely different group. This is a A-1 organization. If Clay Thompson or Draymond were to be moved, I'm sure they'll give them an opportunity to be successful and compete somewhere. End of an era, it would be. By the way, Kominga moving up to the Untouchables list, that's something that's proper. You know what, I wasn't a big fan. I watched him play during that time that Draymond Green was out and he can play. He's getting more confident. He's getting, he's so bouncy. He moves without the ball. He plays well. He knows his game. He doesn't take really bad shots. He doesn't even take a lot of perimeter jump shots. And he's so young. If that keeps developing, he can turn into something real special. That was almost sincere sounding. That was, that was, I know, and there he goes. Oh, we're gonna take a quick break when we come back. Which of today's defensive players could slow down Prime MJ? Oh, I love these. I love them. Being up. Run it up. Run it back. Run it up. Run it back. All right, fill the lane. Chandler, you're up first. Best number two player on a team right now. I think it's Devin Booger. I think he, the other record doesn't show it. But if we're talking about a guy who's pretty much been the number one guy on his team for his whole career, who can carry a team and every single night is kind of just, you know, taking a back seat this year, to moving positions to a point guard letting Kevin Durant be that guy. I think he's got it. There's a lot of good ones. I think Jalen Brown's solid. I think Paul George, Anthony Davis are solid, but the best player number two option is Devin Booger. Jalen Brown. Jalen Brown, okay. You think right now Jalen Brown is better at basketball than Devin Booger? I mean, he's better at being in that position than Devin Booger is, I think so. You think this all comes with it? I don't think he's the best. I don't, I don't, how can I tiptoe around this thing, right? Good luck with that. Can you put Devin Booger on the Celtic right now? You don't think they're a better team than with Jalen Brown? No, because Devin Booger's not, I don't think he's equipped to just wait his opportunity. Yeah, I don't know. All right, okay, fine. Lou, you get to go first on this one. Name one player you want on your team to win a game seven right now. Give me Brian. Wow. I'll take LeBron. Okay. One of the best game managers we've seen in quite a while. He knows what it takes to win a game seven. He's gonna do everything that he can to manage both ends of that game. So I'll take Bron. Yeah, it's interesting because I was gonna say Steph Curry, but then he lost game seven to LeBron James. So it's like LeBron can't go wrong. Then I was thinking clutch. I was like, do I go Damian Luller? But he hasn't had that many game sevens. So Bron's a good answer. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. It makes total sense.  All right, Chandler. One defensive player right now that could stop Michael Jordan in his prime. It's gotta be like Kawhi Leonard but like prime, healthy Kawhi Leonard. But it's the rules that are changing. Like you couldn't barely stop the guy with hand checking and fouls and a flagrant foul back then is like a 25 game suspension now. So it's tough. The way the game is called, this guy would probably average 45 points a game. So it's tough, but it's gotta be someone big, athletic, physical, strong like Kawhi Leonard. That'd be fun. Yeah, I'd watch that. That would be my only, that'd be the only guess I had. Is there another one, Lou? Is there anybody else?  It's gotta be a... You wanna see Michele as they get made? Wimby? Wimby! Oh my gosh. To stop Michael Jordan? Cause there's nobody that can stop Michael Jordan. So if anybody, I'm gonna try the seven foot four guy that blocks a lot of shots and they're gonna go through that. Lou, he's never seen this problem. He's never seen this. He's never seen it. Seven, six. That's the only reason. It's a good point. So before this turns into a viral click bait thing that is the only reason I'm saying Wimby can stop prime Michael Jordan cause he's never seen anything like it. I'd like to see that too. I'd like all of these things. Joe Aldous gave him 70 but he's gonna stop Michael Jordan. Ha ha ha! Brain fart. He finished? Yeah. They only won by 10. It was fun talking about it. Give me the best veteran role player on a team right now Lou. Give me Pat Bev with Mike Conley. Oh okay. Give me one of those two guys. They bring two completely different shots to the table for their groups but it's working. The 76ers and those young guys are responding well to Pat Beverly and his leadership. I like that. Mike Conley is still playing at a high clip in year 18. Giving them great, great minutes. I'll take either one of those guys. Yeah I got Mike Conley on here and I got Al Horford and Reggie Jackson. Both solid players that know their role that are smart. They're both on winning teams. These are guys where if a guy gets hurt Jamal Murray goes out, Brazilian goes, gets out. These guys step right into that role. You don't miss a beat. They're both savvy guys. Great dudes. I like those two guys. Great dudes. Which one on one matchup would you most like to see at All-Star weekend? Okay I got three here. Three, okay. I got three. I got Wimby and Chet which is just her obvious reasons that would be unbelievable. Honestly I don't know. I think Wimby would win one on one but it would be an insane matchup just because they're pretty much the same build and body and talent. I like Shay and Ant because the whole foul call thing they're both unbelievable with the ball. They're both fast. They're both the score. And I think Devin Booker and Jason Taylor were probably the biggest, like, best little pivotee, iso, mid-range. So those three matchups would be my three. I'm not turning the chair. I was thinking like a big, like Joelle, Joe. Probably not as fun. Kevin Durant, I'd like to see one on one with somebody but those three matchups are bigger. I like the matchups. I'd like to see Joker and Joelle and B at a random park in Denver. In Denver. You know that ain't happening. In Denver? Like that's not, yeah. Joelle's gotta clean his garage. Joelle's not available for that. He's gotta clean his garage out that night. A neutral site. Yeah. With no elevation. And you should be fine. I can't believe we're doing this. Lou, you get to go first though. Which city has the best fans? Oklahoma City. What? Oklahoma City. Did they not see that coming? Yep. They have a college crowd. Wow. And you talk about from start to finish games where the fans are respectful. Okay. Cheers for their team. Enthusiastic. It's okay, C. Yeah. When I think best, I don't think like classy. I think like it's... There we go. There we go. The Jazz, Portland and Boston for me, I always found those. Those places are nuts. But they're not classy. No, they're offensive. Okay. They're racist. They're insane. I like that to me. Those are the craziest. Taylor said it, but I would retweet it. He's on the sofa. Yeah. I just like it. Those to me are like, they'll call your mama ho. Like there's no limits, you know what I mean? So those to me. Use your mama ho. Well, you said it. All right. In Utah. In Utah. You said it. In Utah. Okay. Okay. I would not have guessed that. Who has the classiest fans? I have to know that now. Okay, C. Classy. Oh, you know what? Go to state. Really? Go to state. Okay.  Yeah, that's what I'm waiting on. I'm just waiting for Chandler to put his foot in. Go ahead.  I don't enjoy playing in Utah. I've heard my fair share of things. That's not cool. Okay. Yeah. Chandler? That's not his experience in Utah. No, it's a different experience. It's a different experience. I'm a white guy in Utah. You know what I'm saying? It's not a pass. They put a corn out there. That's your one place. I mean. Say it. Just say it.  Doc Holliday is not watching. Doc Holliday? That was Doc Holliday. Yeah, Memphis socks. There we go. I can't get through a show without it. We'll take a quick break right now. We'll come back when we're at the full-party. Doc Holliday.  I can't believe you said it. Kill me. Run it back. Run it over. Run it back. Yeah.

I feel like that's kind of low for him. He's starting to get his leg. He's starting to get his rhythm. Get comfortable in this Rick Carlyle offense. And Halliburton back. Give me a double-double. It's official. Halliburton's back. I mean, we're going with it. Our bets are voided, if not. I like him getting a double-double. Double-double. Well, I think the Celtics are going to win if Halliburton's out. However, if he not, Siakum is going to have a great night at 19-and-a-half. Those are my bets. All right, I went over for both of mine. Both Tyrese and Jason Tatum will have the overs on their 20.5 and 30.5 respectively. I like it. Celtics on a back-to-back. Yeah, it's tough. Pacers play good against good teams. Yeah, that's going to do it for us. We'll be back tomorrow. Oh, you got it. Have a good night.


right? Mr. Hezekiah, how are you doing? One of the best parts of being an adult is choosing who is in your life and who isn't 100%. And that's a hard lesson to learn, gang. If you're young, gang, if you're young, if you're in teenage years or early 20s and stuff like this, appreciate this, really realize this, that you have the right to tell someone that you might have been hanging around for a long time and you know you don't think there may be a nice person or if you don't want to go down in the same life path that they're going to or if you think they're holding you back or they're putting you in situations that compromise or your morality compromise or believe compromise who you want to be, you have the right as an adult to turn to them.  I don't want to be around you.  You don't have to be that harsh. You could be turned to them and they're just going down a different path than you are. Maybe they want to continue to go to bars and drink and you don't. You can turn to them and say, look man, I love you. You're like a brother.  You're like family. You're one of my best friends. But I don't want to do this anymore. So I wish you well. I hope this is the right path for you, but it's not the right path for me. And walk away. If you're smart and you chose your friends wisely in terms of who they were, how intelligent they were. If they're smart, if at your caliber, if you think you're pretty high caliber, at your caliber, they're just going down a different path than you are. If you talk to them nicely, tell them why. You can't hang around them anymore. You don't want to hang around them anymore.  It's been a pleasure. You've had amazing times and they will wish you well and say they understand and you part ways.  Either way, you're rid of them. Then you can go down your own path. I've done that multiple times. Just so you know. I'm talking from experience and I'm pretty sure Mr. He's a kiosk as well.


Hey Virgo. All right, let's see what mess you're getting yourself into in January. My goodness. I almost forgot. I was gonna say June. What's going on in June? Yes, welcome back everybody. If you're new, please do click like share and subscribe if you enjoy my channel. And if you haven't hit that button yet, please, please, please do so. All right, so this is a channel for Virgos, Virgo Sun, Moon, Rising or Venus. So as per normal, some of the messages may or may not resonate. Just take what fits and leave the rest. Okay? Personal reading links are below in the description box, as well as my website where you can book a personal reading with me. Okay? And you can also follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, everything's down there. Enough, enough. Okay, let's see Virgo. Your past couple readings have been something, huh? So let's see what the messages are for you. What kind of drama is Virgo trying to avoid in January? Virgo, Sun, Moon, Rising or Venus for January. Okay. Oh, nobody's trying to avoid abundance here. Keeping a positive mindset. Manifest exactly what you want, gratitude and bliss. Good for you Virgo. That looks very positive for you, right? Living in your abundance. Okay. Why? Because you're like, not today, Satan.  There's a hurtful or too much hurt, avoiding a conversation call or a person, boundaries, so angry or just not bothering anymore. And that is in January, giving you complete abundance and bliss. This is giving you an opportunity to manifest exactly what you want. You're just not taking anybody's ish today or tomorrow or the next day or all of January and so on and so forth. So Virgo, it looks good. It looks like you know what you need to do. Um, it feels like you're just not dealing with any drama.  Okay. You also have cupid's arrows, having faith, love is coming, surprise invitation or meeting. Okay.  Um, or you are just, yeah, I kind of feel like there is somebody here who's going to reach out, um, try to talk to you or invite you out or something along those lines, cupid's arrows, you know, the whole thing. Um, this person, I feel like hesitates at first, but they are going to do it, but it feels to me like you're not going to accept. You might just also not be in that mindset in January that you really are interested in going that route, that route route. You're trying to stay positive. Um, some of you are just like focusing on self at this time, learning to love self. Okay. Um, and for others of you, there may be love coming in. You know, somebody does surprise you or asks you out. And, um, hmm, you know what, I'm not going to go into 10 different messages. Let's just stick with the message here. Virgo, somebody that you don't want to talk to or that you're avoiding or that you don't want to talk, like have any conversation with, um, you're avoiding the person or the phone call or something like that wants to come in and connect with you.  So you might have them like your, like by default, avoiding this person. Right. I just feel for you, Virgo, it's like, no, no, you're not trying to connect with somebody here. Okay. I just want to see what the love messages are. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Somebody wants to get engaged or take it to the next level here. Virgo, you're avoiding this.  You're just not interested. This person's trying to come in.  I don't know, Virgo. You're, I don't know. You're, you're like, no, talk to the hand. No, you're just not doing it. Okay. Unrequited love. I feel like somebody here, maybe you're feeling like there's just not enough attraction to this person that you want to talk to them or be in a relationship with them. Okay. In January, you might just be so focused on your own abundance and your own bliss that nothing is, nothing and no one is good enough compared to that. Okay. So yeah, I do feel like there is also someone here that feels like this is unrequited love that there just, there wasn't enough attraction or chemistry to keep the relationship going. They want to try to manifest that with you. Okay. So Virgo, what's going on here? I want to take a look and see why you are like not dealing with someone.  Why you don't want to, because I see somebody trying. What's going on with you, Virgo? You just don't, you're like, no, you don't want to talk to somebody here. You don't want to, you're avoiding someone. Okay. You want to be free, Virgo, from something or some relationship. Okay. Got the king of cups. So this first court card showing up here. So Cancer Pisces Scorpio. It looks like you just want to be free from somebody who comes in. You know, they come in with kindness. They come in with this nurturing energy. Okay. They're a little bit aggressive, but this person feels betrayed, but you feel betrayed. Okay. I feel like this person might have stabbed you in the back in the past. You know, or they were really aggressive with being that way with you. Okay.  You don't want anything to do with this person. They don't have to be a water sign, but they come in with someone who's like healing, nurturing, you know, I don't see anything negative about this person, but it doesn't mean that there isn't. Okay. Virgo. So yeah, January, it looks like it's all about you. Like you've put an end to something and this, whatever you've put an end to, and I feel like I'm just repeating this story, I feel like whatever you're putting an end to, this person's coming charging back in, but let me see. Virgo, I just want to look at your abundance and your, your, you know, your bliss and what this freedom is all about for you. What does this mean? Oh, look at that. You're putting, you put it, either you've already done it or you're doing it.   Yeah.  Look at that death card. It's like all black. It's just very cold. You want to be out in the sun.  Look at this similarity in these two cards here. That's what I'm talking about. You see, you see the little, you see the baby there on the, on the horse or is that a horse? Yeah. And then that person there, it's like arms up in the air. It's like happy, happy, joy, free. You want to dance in the sun. You know, I just feel like this is what you, this is what you're focusing on right now. And you're not, you're just like not dealing with someone. You put an end to something or something has ended and you just don't want to go back. I will tell you that this person though, they're just going to keep trying to reach out to you. But I don't know, Virgo, you might be so busy just skipping in a field of flowers. You won't even notice. Show me Virgo's abundance. What is going on? Okay. Well, you're just intuition is on point at this time. And you're also like giving someone the silent treatment. Some of you might be doing that on purpose or you're just silent. Like you are not, you're, you've withdrawn yourself from this person. And yeah, you're, you're done. Right. And you're really getting in tune with your intuition that, um, high priestess, I feel like that's your energy, like you're, you're being very mysterious or at least people see you this way, learning to trust yourself as well. So I love this energy for you. I do give the night of cups, right? You're getting like this desire to have, um, romance in your life again. I feel like you want new romance in your life. Let me see what's coming for you because it was just kind of like looking at your abundance and where you are and the things that, you know, what you're doing spiritually. But let me see what's coming towards you in January. What's coming towards Virgo in January? What are the good stuff? Any messages for Virgo coming towards Virgo in January? Okay. Look, there you are. Queen of Pentacles. Good. So it looks like you're going to be really focused on work, career, business, things that are real and tangible. Um, I see you really like, if I can't touch it, if I can't taste it, if I can't smell it, um, then it's not real. I'm only dealing with things that are real, nothing fake. And that Queen of Pentacles is basically, um, you're looking for reliability or a reliable person.  It's just you getting grounded and getting real with yourself and that's awesome. Like you're not living in fantasy land. You're living in truth and justice. Okay. Some of you might actually be getting like a finalized divorce, um, winning some kind of court case, um, or winning something. It's in your favor, like the truth will prevail. There's fairness coming towards you. So if you have, um, something that you, hmm, this is also karma and this is good karma. I feel like for you, okay, with justice. This is leverage and energy as well. And we also have Pisces. So I, you know, Virgo, it's like things are working out for you in January, what I see coming towards you. Look at that. Okay. Some of you are definitely getting, um, a divorce will be legalized or finalized. And some of you, um, will actually are on your way to being in a position where you can live happily ever after family, friends, total support, um, and, and love, total love and support from other people. Like, I don't know, Virgo, it's like you've crossed over some kind of threshold and in January, it starts all coming to you. Like all this good karma starts coming back to you. You have let go of someone or ended something or you're just, it's like dead in the water. Just be trial stabbed in the back.  And you're moving on. That's what I see. And letting go releases everything and gives you this opportunity to allow the new blessings of love and truth, justice and fairness to come into your life and really just sticking with what's tried and true and real. Okay. And you will have options for a go in January. There will be other people coming in, in your life, maybe not all of January, um, could be up until April, this time up into April, where, you know, you get all these love offers coming into you and you're kind of like, okay, I'll let you know. And then the second one comes in, okay, I'll let you know. And then the third one comes in, okay, I'll let you know. And then the fourth one.  I feel like you're just going to be like, oh, I don't know, but you're definitely going to absorb, um, because that's like the ace of cups right there coming in for you.   If it's one person making an offer, let me tell you, hold on, where's my paper?  If it's one person, it's a cancer who just keeps trying and trying and trying and trying. And you're like, oh, I don't know. I don't know. I'll let you know. I don't know. I'll let you know. Now, if that's your past person, because you have the king of cups there, it could be, it could be somebody new either way. I feel like your energy is like, thanks, oh, look an avocado. Oh, thanks. I don't know. Feigning excitement, but yeah, the offers keep coming in for sure. Yeah. You just are kind of like, oh, I don't know how to think about it. Maybe you're just, you know, a little indifferent to love at this time, you know, because you ended something and you're just like, not sure you're just taking your time making your decisions, but love is definitely coming in. Look, here's four of ones yet again. Okay. So, Virgo, I mean, that's two fours and this is structure, foundation, stable situations, being able to make plans. You might be planning some get-togethers in January or making plans for the future with other people, family, friends, some reunions, a homecoming, you know, a lot of that energy. I feel like you're really focused on that or just, you know, maybe there's a homecoming party or, you know, moving into a house and you're having like a, what is it called, a housewarming party or moving into your new home or you're inviting people or you're hosting dinner parties or things like that or setting up, getting excited for, you know, the warm weather or if you're in warm weather, setting up like outdoor events, making plans, planning weddings, doing all that kind of stuff. They might be stuff like at night, doing some night, partying hard at night or just, you know, being very social at night with family and friends. I don't know, Virgo, I just feel like you have a lot of offers and opportunities coming in January and going into gosh, you've got the ease of cups, you've got the lovers, you've got the Hierophants, you've got judgment and you've got the six of cups Virgo.  This could be someone from like your past or soulmate or twin flame kind of energy where things didn't go well and now you both are like coming together. I mean, there's like a blessing in disguise happening here. There's like a huge decision to actually get married or settle down into a long term commitment. There's a lot of reconciliation happening here. Okay. And a lot of renewal, right? But there's also this opening up and awakening and kindness happening here for you. Now, again, Virgo, is it going to be that person? I mean, it could be, but, you know, if somebody, if you're done with something and somebody's coming to terms with they're not being done with you, well, it doesn't matter because if you're finished with it, then that's that. Yeah, right?  But I do feel like the minute you close out this energy, that's when everything starts coming in for you. And that's when past people listen, we're a mercury retrograde right now until I think January 18th. So you're going to have some past lovers showing up for sure. You're going to have new love coming up as well. And I don't know that you're going to be indecisive, but I do feel like you're going to put kind of everything on the back burner and just kind of, hmm, I need to think about this. I need to think about this.  I just want to get a couple of extra cards here. I don't know why they just said to get a couple of extra cards from another deck here. So let me see. Oh, there you go four of ones yet again. There's definitely going to be some kind of reunion opportunity for reuniting with someone or going home. There's a surprise party. I mean, I'm just seeing family or people, friends coming together, a lot of success. There's an offer also for a job coming in for you, which is wonderful. Look again with the reunion, a lot of reunion energy. Some of you are going to be reconnecting with old friends that you haven't seen for a while. There might be like tickets being purchased to reconnect with these people. A lot of gatherings. I mean, it's like the New Year's parties have not ended. It's celebrating the New Year and continuing to celebrate the New Year in January. The opportunities are going to come. If you choose not to go, that doesn't make the reading invalid. That's you just taking your rollback and saying, no, I'm going to make this reading not come true, and I'm not going to accept any offers or any love offers or anything from anyone for whatever reason. That's fine.  Especially for you to get away if that's something that you want to do. Or you just might be like, everybody get away. Everybody get away. You're sneaking away, stealing away. You don't want to bother with anyone. Or some of you are like, no, that's not true. I'm sneaking away with someone special. You do have a lot of that energy playing out. Let me see. Let's see what your Chinese sign is. We're going to take a look at you, Virgo, because right now it's all about you. Virgo, right now it's all about you. Listen, I have to ask you guys a quick question. As you're listening, do any of you tarot readers, like actual legit tarot readers, if you are, leave me a comment beneath this video or send me an email because I'm looking. I have an employment opportunity to offer for anyone that wants to do personal readings. I am looking for at least four to five people who might be interested in signing up with me to do personal readings for other people. So if you are a tarot reader, if you have some experience, even if you're learning, I will be setting up classes where you sign up with me. You can get a discount on taking some of the classes so you could come work with me. But yeah, this is something that I have in the works and I'm just kind of putting it out there right now. So you can leave me a comment, but I would prefer that you email me. My email address, the link is either below or it's here on my channel, houseovergo at gmail. So yeah, please do let me know. Okay, let me see what your Chinese sign is. Who are we talking to today? Okay, so year of the goat, year of the dragon, double dragon, year of the tiger, okay, year of the rabbit, year of the rooster, double roosters, year of the pig, tiger again, year of the rat, year of the pig again, year of the monkey. I feel like I have to get one more year of the snake, okay. So that could be your Chinese sign. If you're not sure what your Chinese sign do, look it up. You can Google your Chinese sign. All right, let me just see what other message is. I can give you here, Virgo. Do I want to do the hidden truth? I don't think so. All right, I'm going to do messages of love, messages of love for Virgo. What are the messages of love? Boundaries, firm boundaries are needed now, Virgo. Yep, get on them boundaries, Virgo. Retreat, time alone or in nature, wachapi recharge. Obsession, someone in this connection is gripped by obsessive thoughts. Someone's thinking about you, Virgo. Non-stop, 24-7. This might be this person calling you from all different numbers or what have you, trying to reach you, trying to stop you from walking away and being in your bliss. Okay, Master Eve, learn the spiritual lesson. Lovely, okay. Your soulmate loves, okay. This is, there's a soulmate around you. There is a soulmate around you. I don't know, but it's probably like 10 or 20. We all have like a million soulmates, okay. But whoever this soulmate is, the one may not be romantic. It could be a friend right now. This person loves and respects you. They love you unconditionally, okay. Acceptance, everything happens for a reason, Virgo. Oh, okay. Sexual, a connection is passionate but not enduring. There might have been a connection that's strictly sexual. Yeah, a lot of passions. Okay, I'm just gonna say it.  I'm not getting in a relationship right now. I just want a strictly sexual relationship.  Some people do. And somebody here, maybe secretly is like, no, no, that's the only thing, that's all could ever be and that's the only thing it will ever be. Okay, let me see here. Okay, somebody wants you, Virgo. All right, they were just telling me to give this to you. I don't know who this person is. It could be this person who's obsessed with you.  They could not let you get close to them. They cannot stop thinking about you. They want to feel the way you made them feel. They want to feel that again. So you must have done something that causes person as typical Virgo to have them obsessed with you. Hmm, they realize it was their fault and that they blamed you. They lost themselves for a little while. They look for you everywhere. So many things. Yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda. Okay, next, let me get, I want to see what your charms are. What are your charms?

It could be for the girls too, but there's like a tattoo, a black star, maybe, or something that you have that is connected to a black star. And I'm also like, I'm feeling like the Cowboys fans. I don't know why. I know not all of you are football fans, but there's something to do with Dallas or maybe somebody lives in Texas as well. Okay, one last card here. All right, letter Z connecting someone with a Z and an R. And no, they say get another one. Someone also has an S and a V in their name. We have a K. We also have the letter E.

I was very interested in trying to understand who he was, not just as an activist, but as a thinker, as a theorist. And this is a position that most people usually don't think of as Cesar Chavez. In fact, if you read most of his biographies, there are stories of him coming to consciousness as a labor organizer and as a leader. I think that he had a unique perspective on the idea of how to use nonviolent civil disobedience as a tool for social justice and education. But really learned in the fields and in his work how to connect with people to become a strong community organizer. And from that experience realized that no one was addressing the issues of farm worker injustice in the United States. Martin Luther King around 1966 or so started to realize, he said, and where do we go from here, one of his books, that he realized that the early civil rights movement was a movement that was, in his words, reactive to injustice. And they developed strategies and tactics for creating demonstrations and marches and so forth that were reacting to problems that were already existing. And so after the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act in 64 and 65, he realized that more needed to be done. But he recognized that the tactics and strategies that had been developed early on in the civil rights movement, creating large marches and large demonstrations and trying to petition the government for redress, could only go so far. And problems now were about housing, were about cultural changes, about militarism and racism and materialism in the United States. And that demonstrations and marches were not going to be particularly effective at trying to alter that kind of consciousness in the United States. And that other kinds of work were going to be needed to be done. Those kinds of emphases of creating alternatives, getting people to think about themselves as active participants for envisioning a different kind of world, were emphases that Cesar Chavez had early on in the building of the Farm Workers movement. So while he recognized that, as Cesar Chavez recognized the importance of building marches and structures that were about resistance and speaking out against injustice, part of that for him was always about using those spaces at the same time to think about how can we build a better life and how can we envision something different for farm workers that would be about creating spaces for new structures. The Farm Workers movement was always talking also about not only how do we change legislation, for instance, to protect farm workers, but how can then we get the farm workers to think about creating new ways of housing or of cooperative markets. Cesar Chavez in some sense was trying to develop the strategies and techniques for alternative envisioning of a socially just world. This was always a centerpiece of the United Farm Workers movement. Social justice activism can take place in the 21st century that we can learn a lot from not only the example of his activism, but the ways in which he thought that that kind of envisioning should take place.


I'm from Denmark, I'm 46 years old and I'm going to join TAMP 7 in Las Vegas, 12 July. And I have never worked with this. I'm a dorser right now. I can a lot. I'm allowed to do a lot. But this time I'm going to Dors and you can read the protocol at James Randy Foundation's website. My last work, I'm retired now, for several years ago actually. I'm retired from the police force, where I was for nine years in the Danish police force as a constable. And Dorsing and so on, it's quite new for me because it's only one year and eight months ago. I found out what I could and I can a lot, as I said before. I don't know what more to say, but otherwise I would say wait and see what I can about the challenge at TAMP. And after that, much more will come and you will be surprised. Thank you. My name is Allison Smith. I'm a research assistant for the James Randy Educational Foundation. For the past year and a half I have been handling many of the aspects of the Million Dollar Challenge. This is the first time I believe we've ever done it in front of an audience this large and I'm very excited to see all of you here. Thank you for coming. During this test we're going to ask that you not take any pictures whatsoever. No video, no flash, no electronics that make any sound. We don't want to have any distractions whatsoever. Connie is going to be dousing for the contents of sealed envelopes and we want to make sure that she has every opportunity to pass this challenge. This is the preliminary test. She has one in 1,000 odds of beating this test simply by chance and we all want to see her perform well. I'm going to let her and Bannacek take the stage now. Bannacek is going to be running this test and I hope that you all enjoy it. Please stay in your seats and please try to be quiet. Thank you. You can go now. A couple of things we need to take care of ahead of time. You have read the challenge test agreement, have you not? Right. And also the protocol. I need you to sign these ahead of time and just stating that you agree to air all of these right here. This is actually the challenge test agreement. I need you to do that one first if you would please. And basically what that does and as you said you have read it but you can take a look at it again if you're comfortable before you sign it. Basically what that allows us to do is that Connie has agreed to all the conditions here. She's like the amazing Randy sitting up front, myself testing her and she's agreed to those. That is not the actual protocol itself. Here you are. Thank you very much Connie. I appreciate that. This one is the protocol and this is how we are going to test you. You want to look over there and make sure that nothing has changed. I believe you. Thank you very much. Good, thank you. I have to sign it. Yes you do. Right there. You will see James Randy's signature is on there as well. He has agreed to the protocol. I want to make sure that it's fair for you and also for Jaybref. Thank you. Now I think what you need is a chair. Is that correct? That is correct. So can we get a chair for Connie please? Thank you very much. And if we can get one for me as well that would be fantastic. I do want to point out I am simply the tester. I did not put the protocol together. Thank you. My job is simply to make sure that the protocol is followed. At the very beginning Connie will get a chance to take out her dowser and she'll get a chance to calibrate it so that her psychic powers are in sync. Thank you very much. I have not seen the envelopes that actually contain the cards and I think they have those with the security gentlemen over there and he's going to be bringing those over here. So we will open that together for the first time. Can we have those please? Thank you very, very much. And these have not been out of your hands since they were handed to you. Okay. And who handed these to you? Allison. Allison is the one that was, as my understanding is that she's probably the one that actually sealed everything inside and nobody else has seen this. Thank you very, very much. This is test number one. Yes. We have a few backups just in case the protocol is not followed by the audience or yourself. Okay. I'm going to open this up and I want you to watch as I do. I want to make sure I don't cut anything inside there. It's stuffed in there tight. Let's see what we have. All right.  We have a couple of play envelopes for the open test. We have playing cards over here. And we have test number one, test number one clubs, test number one spades, and test number one diamonds. Hearts is on the very top. Okay. I'll go in the exact order that they have given me right there. These are cards right here. Now I understand that you want three of these cards. Correct? I'll even let you choose the three that you want. Which ones would you like to do? It doesn't matter. This is an open test so it's basically. Yeah. It doesn't matter. Yeah. Okay. This is just for you to warm up. Good. You have your own downside? I have it here. You have your own downside? Okay. Now I'm just going to be quiet. I'm going to sit back and let you do whatever it is you need to do. When you feel comfortable with these cards and that you've calibrated the dowsing. What I need you to do is let me know and then we'll stick them in the envelopes. You just stop. I don't test her. Okay. Go ahead. Okay. Are you going to tell me what I should do with those ones?  So really right now just douse for the jack of hearts. Okay. Okay. Fantastic. Let's go for the king of clubs if you would. Easy. That was quick. Yep. And how about the queen of hearts? Yeah. That's okay. Good. Now do you need me to mix them around again or do you want me to put them? Okay. So I'm going to place, I'm just seeing one on board right here. I understand that you want me to place one of these inside of the card like that. And let's just stick it inside here. Actually you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to put them under the table if you don't mind. I don't mind. Again, this is not an actual test per se. It's just you put it in there very tight. That one isn't looking to go in there face down. And there you go. Okay.


Hello students let's work out the following problem it says prove that sin theta plus cos theta upon sin theta minus cos theta plus sin theta minus cos theta upon sin theta plus cos theta is equal to 2 secant square theta upon transfer theta minus 1. So let's now move on to the solution and let us proceed on with the solution and let us first simplify the LHS which is sin theta plus cos theta upon sin theta minus cos theta plus sin theta minus cos theta upon sin theta plus cos theta. Now to simplify this we will take the LCM so LCM is sin theta minus cos theta into sin theta plus cos theta. So now in the numerator we have sin theta plus cos theta into sin theta plus cos theta that is we are multiplying sin theta plus cos theta by sin theta plus cos theta similarly sin theta minus cos theta into sin theta minus cos theta. Now again this is equal to sin theta plus cos theta into sin theta plus cos theta is sin theta plus cos theta whole square plus sin theta minus cos theta whole square upon sin theta minus cos theta into sin theta plus cos theta is sin square theta minus cos square theta here we have used the formula a square minus b square is equal to a minus b into a A plus V, whenever you use a formula you must write that. Now in the numerator we will apply the formula of A plus V whole square and A minus V whole square.      Now if we see the RHS we need to have tan square theta in the denominator and secant square theta in the numerator. So looking at the RHS we'll divide both numerator and the denominator by cos square theta to get tan square theta here.    That's the question and the session. Why fun or take care. Have a good day.
