A scotch man with good Dany Gull connections who's just completed a very unusual swim across Law Finn at Fintown. And he did it to raise awareness about a legend that's connected to the name of the law. And to tell us more now, well he's known as Dan the Mayor man. Real name is Donald McGillicummel and he is joining us now on the line and also on Zoom. Donald good afternoon sir. How are you? Good afternoon. How you doing? Yeah good, good. Now first of all tell me about the legend that's connected. This is where a local woman is reportedly she drowned there a long long time ago but in an unusual endeavor. Yeah exactly yes it's a mythological story, a beautiful story but tragic of course as well. She was a thin girl who Law Finn is named after. Heard the shouts of her brother across the law on the other side and in endeavor to get across to him she swam across and confused by the echoes of the hills around her around Law Finn. She ended up swimming backwards and forwards across the lock and eventually and drowned because you know just it just became too much. So yeah I basically followed her not exactly her route in terms of make possibly where she left from to which I'm hoping to do in the future at some point but I went from one side of the lock to the other and back following her course. Yeah which kind of confused me on her I realized that you'd left from the cherry and you'd gone over to the other side and then come back because I was thinking you know just to go one way would be enough but you went over and came back. Yeah exactly yeah yeah yeah I think the people who were there didn't realize that as well and all right you're gonna come the other you're gonna come back as well as that yeah yeah. How long did it take over and back? Not long probably probably about 20 minutes maybe. All right. Not long at all. You see to most of us looking at the lake we would think that it's bigger than that. Well it is what it is but you know you did it in about 20 minutes so I suppose it's not about the size of the lake it's about how good you were getting over and back. Oh yeah the conditions were great as well it was a beautiful day and there was a lovely group of people there cheering me on and that always helps give you a bit of a boost to get across you know people are watching you at least. You really can't let them down. Exactly yeah yeah that was nice it was nice. Thanks very much to all the locals in Fintown and people like Joseph Brennan who came along and who explained the story as well in Gaelic which was beautiful. So yeah thanks again to all those people. They come out just to see this mad scotch man really and fail it in his efforts to get over and back at Loughan. Yeah I think he does a lot of curiosity locally I think. I mean I just posted on the Facebook group a few weeks ago because I knew I'd be over there because my granny's from Minnish Rowan which is just above Loughan back towards Broca and so I've spent almost some whole days there basically growing up and Christmases so yeah I just posted on the group just to get a bit of local knowledge you know where I'd be best to swim from to before I knew it there was a lot of interest and people were genuinely concerned as well because I think the legend itself has really as legends do you know they play on people's minds and you know they ends up being something which is which is quite something to be revered so I think people were quite intrigued but as to what might happen which you know to an extent it played into my mind as well actually when I was going across like you could almost feel the legend itself and what Fin Gael might have gone through and you know which makes it an even more momentous swim for me you know swims like this are really really special to me you left from the the the jetty there just beside the railway station but the the legend has that that she she left from another part of the lake is that right that's right yeah just just slightly further up it's called Fin Gael's apron and it's more or less it's basically the same distance going across but I was going to do that but just because the railways in the way and I knew there'd be people coming and I didn't want it to be too much of a logistical nightmare for people to get down stuff whereas that jetty was was quite accessible for people and it was just easier but at one point I will go back and do it from Fin Gael's apron apron to go across but yeah it's essentially the same distance just further down the lock a bit okay okay well sure you know seen as a symbolic and it's essentially the same distance then you know does it doesn't really matter and as you say at least where you left from was more accessible but you you teach you teach swimming you do a lot of cold water swimming yourself at home and and teach swimming as well is that right yes just up in our Gael I'm an open water swim coach so I train people in open water athletes children tourists a whole range of people and do guided holidays out on the Hebrides so we you know swim in different locations beautiful locations and basically providing safety cover but also coaching people and and helping people to be better open water swimmers and I'm also a part-time PE teacher as well okay locally so so people can take a holiday and and base it on on wild swimming and and you'll take it to different locations yeah absolutely yeah I mean out in our Gael we've we've got an amazing as does done you go actually you know beautiful sheltered bays where you can get a really good swim and yeah I kind of coach a holistic a holistic approach in terms of how to prepare how you know and how you recover afterwards and also the safety points which are really important for open water swimming you know just to generally upskill people and make them feel more confident to access different bodies of open water safe safely right and and you swim all year around yeah all year round yeah definitely yeah right through winter and actually swimming through winter is great because it it gets me ready for the busiest summer season when I'm in the water quite a lot so it's good cold conditioning for me so yeah it's the secret to long life I believe so they say yeah absolutely yeah and and when were you swimming today I was yeah I was just coaching someone in the water just up at Cronin Harbour which is just near the core of Wreckon which again has a very beautiful Gaelic story attached to it to do with the the cala the goddess of winter who governs the core of Wreckon and so yeah I'm surrounded by a lot of Gaelic legend here as well so that's great so I mean you you've spent a lot of time obviously in Donny Gaul especially when you were young but you you've done a lot of research into the the local folklore and Celtic mythology yes oh absolutely yeah it's it as I've got older um you probably might guess from my accent I've actually I've been in Scotland most most of my life now most of my adult life anyway I was born in London um my dad's from Donny Gaul he's from he's from Broca my granny was from Minnish Roan and so that attachment and and that uh that uh pride in in my in my roots has has made me more connected to it as I get older and learning Gaelic uh like Scotch Gaelic at the minute um and and and how that all connects together and how how our different Gaelic worlds connect as well between Scotland and Ireland is really interesting to me um and how some of the stories are consistent as well so um yeah very important to me just now and also in terms of what I'm doing in terms of my my guiding and my coaching in open water I try to bring in um a bit of Gaelic and the folklore and the stories of the bodies of what we're swimming in um so yeah that's really important to me well you've done a great job in in highlighting the the mythology of how Lofen was named and and another way that you give back was she there was a special offering before you did your swim yes yeah that's right yeah so um it's it's an ancient practice where um probably predating Christian times where you would you'd make an offering get Gaelic um um a sort of an ancient Gaelic custom of make an offering of something that you'd ordinarily enjoy so it's really important to make an offering to in this case an ancient spirit of the Fingal um but also my ancestors of the area um uh something so I love soda bread my wife makes amazing soda bread so I offered Fingal a bit of soda bread and some Puccine which um is I'm not sure if it was illegally distilled or not but well we'll look when that part was offered anyhow yeah exactly yeah that's right and it was good stuff so um yeah uh yeah that's important to me that's an important symbolic gesture and um and I think it's a really interesting way of connecting to the landscape and and taking care of the landscape and acknowledging it and acknowledging the the ancestors and the spiritual story behind that well I hope she appreciated it all all the the attention and the the offering of the the bread and and Puccine and listen and and no doubt you'll be back and and whether you do another swim there or not be back to enjoy the the locality and and the lovely surroundings over there don't know thanks for having a chat with us no problem at all could I just say it's a special thanks to your man's coffee for the coffee afterwards which was which was very well received and again thanks very much to everyone who came along in Fintown um and especially Joseph Brennan for for providing the story uh uh lock side which was really great so thanks again to everyone in Fintown no better man I'm my uncle Sean as well who came along and and spoke a little Gaelic uh um uh lock side as well so thanks very much it sounds like quite the day was had indeed all right don't look after yourself bye thank you very much


Good evening, friend. This is your host to welcome you through the creaking door into the inner sanctum. Come on in. Say, getting worry wrinkles over inflation, anybody?  As a matter of fact, living down under is one way of trimming your clothing budget down to bare essentials. All you need for the longest while is one wooden shoe. Tonight's inner sanctum mystery, Mark My Grave, was written by John Robert and stars Lawson's Irby in the role of Colby with Santa's Ortega as Gabby. Tonight we intend to prove that when a live wire meets a dead hen, not a spark of sanity remains. We're in Cristenberry, an ancient American village founded during the reign of Queen Anne.  A story that has long terrified the timid and baffled men of logical mind. The story of the Brenda Ghost. In a close, airless room of the Brenda home, a man is strapped down on an iron bed. His face is youthful, but his hair is white as if bleached by shock. He stares blindly at an older man hovering anxiously over him. Gabby. Yeah? It's me. I've got everything under control. Untie me, Gabby. I can't breathe. I can't untie you, kid.  You just touch yourself. I've sent for a doctor. Able to talk about it a little? Talk about it? Sure. Only if you're able to. Ghosts. Ghosts were a big joke to us. The assignment was going to be a gag. Picture stunt to get the newspaper comic relief. That day, you called me. Hey, call me. Yeah. There's a wire coming in. Eight state search for missing hitchhiker couple. What about it? Just two more missing Americans as a million of them. Pamela and Alfred Parker have been missing for 14 days. Well, I'd seen entering the village of Cristenberry. They were seen entering, but nobody saw them leave. Cristenberry is the village famous for the Brenda Ghost. You want to buy a bed sheet, boss? No. I do want to buy a circulation booster. Well, you're not assigning me to interview the Brenda Ghost. And all the other branders with pictures. So I just have over to Cristenberry with a flash gun and photograph everything that moves. What if the ghost is camera shy? Cristenberry was a village a man starts talking to himself in. A handful of bearded old timers are stared at newcomers, then scurried away like frightened Jagrabbit. The population on the ground was less than 100. The population underground was an easy 20,000. Now, before tackling the Brenda's, I did some reconnoitering. If you're a man of caution, Mr. Colby, you'll not go poking your nose. How did Luther Brenda die? He was found killed over in his study one black night, murdered. Somebody took an axe to him. Just somebody, huh? The hatchet man was never caught? No. Did the police ever figure out a motive for the murder? Robbery, they said. It was hate that killed old Luther, if you ask me. Well, driving into town, I saw posters tacked onto telephone poles, advertising a public auction of the Brenda house and grounds tomorrow at 10 a.m. What's it mean? County supervisors orders. Ain't a penny in taxes been paid since old Luther Brenda died. Good riddance to Luther's brood, I say. If you're set to go into the devil's roost, and want a powerful charm on your person, wear this around your neck and you'll come to no harm.  A luch I'm the ward-off demon. Now you really sold yourself on the Brenda ghost story, huh? I've seen old Luther Brenda.  Where? Right where you're standing. Look. I'll call the devil and he's come. Tom, what do you mean, Tom? Look to the window. I followed her pointing finger. There staring at us through her window was a face. It's old Luther Brenda. It glowed like a mass coated with phosphorous. In a moment, the face was gone. Vanished. I left and drove onto the Brenda place, trying to throw off the spell. It was a perfect setting for a ghost.  A dimly lit gabled house high up on a hill, barking dogs somewhere. I was picking my way slowly with my camera slung over my shoulder, working my flashlight. When I got the first proof that I really needed a charm bag around my... The rifle shot. Somebody had shot the flashlight out of my hand. Are you shot? Nah, you just ruined a new flashlight. Who are you? David Brenda. You? Colby, a reporter. You always welcome guests with a blast of rifle flash. I mistook you for all Luther. All Luther's on the prowl tonight. Shooting at your father's ghost, huh? What makes you think the old fellow's on the prowl tonight? He ain't in his casket. You checked to see. I did. You dug him up and pried open his coffin and checked? Nope. There was no need to do that. We ain't ever buried, old Luther. We put him in the family crypt like he wanted to be put. You say he's not there? No. Well, any objections to showing me? Nope. Come along. I followed David Brenda into a small field stone house sitting on the edge in a weed-choke meadow less than 50 feet from the Big Gable house sort of primitively built mausoleum. In the center of it was a heavy old coffin tool with steel fittings. Raising the lid was a job for Hercules. I watched David Brenda's face purple in the effort. I'm showing you. Now, look for yourself. I looked. The casket was empty. I said old Luther was on the prowl.  Got up to keep his promise. What promise? To take the Brenda's back to his keeping. First Walter, then Polly, then me, he said. Walter's first because he's the oldest.  Yep. And you believe it? Listen. Hear that? Organ music. Some cheerful Joe's playing an organ over at your house. The piece old Luther always played. Only Luther can play the organ. I still say show me. Come on. I started for the main house to the accompaniment of a ghostly funeral march. It seemed to hang in the night air like a weight. Halfway across the lawn the organ stopped.  It's Walter.  First Walter because he was the oldest. And then me. I'm next. You're Polly Brenda? I'm Polly Brenda. Didn't father play beautifully, Daisy?  Standing behind Polly, writing furiously into a palm-sized notebook, was another Quilligan duck. The kind of guy you imagine running through the fields with a butterfly in net. Oh, who's the note-taker, David? Mr. Lawtrick. Yeah, he's a lawyer. Sir Oliver Lawtrick. And your name is what? Are we, uh, rival reporters? Indeed not. Well, then what's all that note-taking about? My own the spot investigation into supernatural phenomena. The Brenda's were kind enough to extend an invitation to them. For $500 for his kids. And a silk dress for me. What research society do you represent, sir Oliver? My own. My independent research will become a book. A really revolutionary book, I would say. You've seen the Brenda ghost. I have. My findings here have been truly remarkable. You gotta show me. Bodies disappear, sure, but not under their own steam. Oh, Luther was missing from his casket. Sure, but where is he? Do you know where he is, Polly? Right back in the coffin. He always goes back to rest after he's played the organ. We hiked back to the mausoleum, all of us. I watched David Brenda make like Hercules again, raising the heavy old clear. I'm showing you. I looked. All Luther Brenda was back in his casket. And it was the same face I had seen pressed against the window of all Lady Hawkins' house. The mind's a funny thing, Gabby.    You don't dare believe it because if you do, you'll never stop screaming. I didn't try to figure it out too much. I photographed everything in sight. Talked a while with the overstuffed researcher, Sir Oliver. Then holed up in the ground floor bedroom, David Brenda assigned me to. It won't be comfortable, but it's a bed. I hadn't even closed one eye when the dogs outside set up a holler that raised goose pimples all over me. It was the kind of holler you hear from the bloodhounds when they reached the end of the chase. I went to the window. Something was pulling me. Something. Like a combination. There were the dogs on a lawn, under the moon. Rootmasters ford them and snapping something in their jaws. Been tossing it into the air. I concentrated on whatever the gadgets were. Peering through the window glass until my eyes almost dropped out of their sockets. A while I made the gadgets out. They were articles of clothing. A shoe. A man's hat. A lady's handbag. I found the place the dogs had come from. It wasn't hard. I just followed the dog tracks to a ravine behind the meadow. I found them side by side. Deader than just dead. Pamela and Alfred Parker.  Oh, Luther killed them. Great. Having a ghost around that walks. Huh, David? You can make him the explanation for everything. Oh, Luther killed them. Listen. The organ's going again. It's oh, Luther's favorite piece.  Walter was the first, and now it's Polly's turn. Busy night for a dead man. The idea is that Luther Brenda's up there at the organ, huh? Yep. Up there playing a prelude to muddy. Out of his casket and up there in the watch tower. Yep. I'm going back for a double take at that casket. I played Hercules with the lid myself this time. I did a double take 20 times over. The casket was empty. I sprinted for the main house with David Brenda, pumping at my heels and a funeral march pacing me. Spring got me within a foot of the front door when the music stopped. After Walter, huh, oh, Luther's keeping his promise.  It's Polly, same place. On the floor in the watch tower at the foot of the organ. Same kind of death.  First Walter and Polly, he said. I'm the youngest. I'm last. On my feet felt steady enough. I went to see if Luther Brenda had settled back in his casket. I went to see just as a matter of routine. I'd find him there, I was sure of it. I'd find him there because there wasn't an organ going. That's how I began to think. I wasn't your boy anymore, Gabby. I was practically your Brenda. I never reached the mausoleum. Because out there in the dark, I saw Luther Brenda. I stood knee deep in the weeds and watched Luther Brenda walk past me and head straight as an arrow for the mausoleum. That dead man was returning to his casket. I took his picture, a rear profile view. My hands worked the camera automatically from habit. I didn't start screaming until the mausoleum door closed behind him. And then I couldn't... Feel better for the sleep, kid? Yeah. I feel okay. 10 a.m. The doc gave you something to quiet you down. Can we get up? Sure. Should I make any sense to you early this morning? Sure. But we're not talking about it, Corbyn. Sergeant Conley's around the premises now figuring things out. I had public auction starting in a minute. We're going ahead with the sale of this place. When a family are done, we can watch it. Gentlemen, your attention please. The sale is about to commence. By authority vested in me by the Board of Supervisors of the Incorporated Township of Cristenberry, I now offer you tax warrants file number 126015 at Public Sale. Great Public Sale. Not a soul came. Nobody wants a place. Luther Brinder goes with it. That boy over there. See Sir Oliver? And that's David Brinder. What keeps him out of a padded sale? The tax warrants amount to $3,000 gentlemen. The minimum bid I am empowered to accept is $3,000. Bid lively gentlemen. Looks like no takers, Corbyn. Mr. Auctioneer. In the absence of bids, I bid exactly $3,000. Sold. Sold to your name please. Lotrik. Sir Oliver Lotrik. Come on Corbyn. That's all I wanted to hear. Sir Oliver, what's here that's worth $3,000? Must I answer that question? You'd better in pronto. And don't tell me you've gotten attached to a walking dead man. My work prompted me to make that bid. The $3,000 enables me to pursue my research. I'd been advised that the county planned to raise the house to the ground if no bid was forthcoming. That would be a pity. Irreparable loss to the study of supernatural phenomena. But more of a loss to you, eh? A loss of say $100,000? You're making no sense at all to me. I'm not, eh? There's a cop here, utility and basic English.  The killer left the jewels behind him for safekeeping. Because he was wanted in 12 states, he was hotter than a firecracker. He would never crash through roadblocks, set up to trap him. My theory is that the jewels are bricked in somewhere as part of the Brenda dwelling. Isn't that why you bought the house, Sir Honorable? To be free to take a wall down at your leisure and pocket a bag full of jewels? It's a preposterous theory. In my opinion, gentlemen, your surroundings here have affected your minds.  Ah, that gimmick. Give them the rest of it, Sergeant. The corpse that gets up and plays the organ. That's you, La Trek. No, don't waste your breath denying it. Among other items of proof, we've got photographic evidence. That wraps up the ghost story, Colby. Sir Oliver was caught in that roadblock 10 years ago. Saved his time, then came right back to Cristenberry and his jewel cash. Photographic evidence? Connelly said. What do they mean? We took a Luther Brenda walking back into the mausoleum. We developed it and blew it up. It was Sir Oliver wearing a plastic mask. It was a close copy of Luther Brenda's features. We found the mask in his luggage. But the casket was actually empty. Twice. Another La Trek operation. Fair honor. Ah, picking your brains. It's all ABC, open and shut. Everything fits logically. But they were sitting on the floor with their hands clasped around their knees. Walter and Polly like children listening to music. Colby, I'm begging you.  Dead men don't sit down and play the organ. Don't they, Gabby? Listen.  It's all Luther Brenda. Up there in the watchtower playing his favorite piece. He's out of his casket and at the organ. David's on the floor like a child listening to his father play. Colby, quit it. It's David's turn now. After Walter came Polly. David's last because he's the youngest. It's his turn now to go back to his father's keeping. Soon the music will stop and David will scream. Listen, Gabby. See, Gabby. David sits like the others on the floor. Dead. Is he? He's urgent? Yeah. Can't pin this one on Lord Trek. Then what? Kill David Brenda. Oh, Luther Brenda killed him, Gabby. David was last to go because he was the youngest.  You were saying, Sergeant? No visible injury. Our fan, I'd say, was frightened to death. Brought a seizure on himself. Sure, sure, that makes sense. They frightened himself to death. Does it make sense, Gabby? David Brenda played an organ solo for David Brenda. He shattered the organ, pumping the pedals, and shed on the floor at the same time. Sure, it makes sense. It's got to make sense. He played a funeral march and died listening to it. One man in two places at the same time. Gabby. So the Brenda's are back together again. Now there's one gang that believes in the family ties that bind. Did some cynic whisper straight jagged? That's Oliver. Nice guy to wrench your attic to. I'm totally choosing himself as a basis for research now. He's bringing his notebook and pencil into the hot seat where they expect to record impressions that will electrify nobody but himself. I'd say, if you ever run into a walking corpse, Mr. Blow the whistle on yourself.

These are so good. I'll let Shava kind of tell the story. The story of us making truffles from Trader Joe's is JoJo's. Kind of the concept of this video is last minute teacher gifts, like support staff gifts. I went to Trader Joe's and bought these for like three dollars, this for three dollars, and this for three dollars, and I'm going to make 36 truffles in like 20 minutes and don't have to bake them. So it's like easy and also happens to be plant-based. Like there's no dairy in this, no dairy in this, no dairy in these, and they're like accidentally nut free. So you can like bring them to school. And here's what you do. You throw an entire pack of these peppermint cookies into a food processor and basically turn them into dust. Yeah, they're kind of like Oreos. They're from Trader Joe's. They're called JoJo's and we get the holiday ones which are like candy cane flavored. Remember having candy canes? But if you are not currently in holiday season or if you don't have access to a Trader Joe's you can just use any old Oreos. We added a full pack and a few extra and here's why. All right, so all the recipes that I saw online were somewhere between 36 and 38 cookies and these come with 32. I am sure that it would be fine with just 32, but I bought an extra package just in case so I could throw a few more in. So I'm going to do 32, 34, 36. We'll do 36. Okay, I'll put all of them in. And then eight ounces of cream cheese. Cream cheese. Obviously if you're not making these plant-based you could just use regular cream cheese, but every grocery store now has some sort of plant-based salt. So I left this out for an hour so that it was soft, but it still doesn't seem quite soft enough. So I might actually um make it for a minute. If you need to accelerate the softening process, maybe consider putting it into a microwave-safe container, not just throwing it in the one that it came in. That's basically the least microwave-safe type of plastic on the planet. Bye. That's so easy. Did all come out? Nice. So add the softened eight ounces of cream cheese to the food processor with the cookie crumbs and mix that together for like 20 or 30 seconds. I think that's perfect. I think this is exactly what we're looking for. And a fair warning, this is going to taste really good as it is. Take the sharp thing out. It'll kind of look like this. So this is the consistency, which I think is right. And then you just scoop it into balls. And then we put it in the fridge before we um the fridge before we do the last step. So we'll scoop and to even size pieces and then we'll roll it into balls. It's an easy recipe, but you do need two hands. And then we'll throw them in the fridge to cool for about an hour. Once they've cooled, melt chocolate chips. So I'm going to keep doing it in like 20 second intervals. You don't want to burn it. So we're going to use half of a 15 ounce bag. And we actually added like a teaspoon of coconut oil. You don't have to do this, but this kind of helped with the make it smoother. We'll use the other half of the bag for the other half of the truffles. This was just based on the size of a bowl we had. And then we'll give each truffle ball a bath in the melted chocolate. Dump it in, cover it, and then do the least attractive thing from a food content standpoint.  And then before the chocolate hardens, put some decorations on top. If you have candy canes, you can crush those up and sprinkle those on top. We're using sprinkles silver and red. And so that they're connected to the gesture of giving a gift, involve your little guys in this process, even if it makes it more challenging, more frustrating, take more time. I missed that. I missed it. I was zoomed in too much. Can you recreate that? Like this? Like baking with your kids face? They're your kids. They're your kids. If you don't go fast enough, the chocolate sauce will turn back into hard chocolate and the balls will kind of smush down and get warm again.  Again, easier. Once you've finished the dip and the sprinkles, you can throw them back in the fridge for like an hour. And then they're good to go. We bagged them up and brought them to school, gave them to our teachers. Save one or two for yourself. They're really, really good. Three ingredient truffles.  Have one bite because we're all sharing. I don't even want to do it. Those are delicious. They're unreal. These rock. I'm not really a sweet guy like potato chips, but these were awesome and easy and impressive. And like any good recipe, the whole is a lot greater than the sum of the parts. The cookies are good. Cream cheese is good. Chocolate chips are good. Add them all together. Very good. But when you get these truffles, it's like off the chain. And it's pretty like the little Christmas falls. When you cut it in half, it's smooth. Amazing. Yeah. Oh my God. This is really good for my breakfast. We had breakfast. This is going to be good for all day energy. That's the last one. These are vegan? Mm-hmm. They're very good. No way. Yeah. So the cookies are vegan themselves? Yeah. They're like accidentally vegan. I love this. Yeah. Okay, sorry, but these are so much tastier than the granola granite protein bars, which were delicious. This is delicious. These are more delicious. Oh my God. This looks like something you get out of like a candy box. Mm-hmm. It's got the crispy shell on it. Mm-hmm. Oh my God. That isn't too thick. I was afraid it was going to be too thick, but no. Mm-hmm. Oh my God. Good job. Still good. That's good. If you appreciate videos like this, hit that thumbs up. Thank you so much for watching. Subscribe to our channel if you haven't already.

Go around the building there. I'll come up with a barcode with the product. Okay, all right, thank you. You guys have a good one. I feel much more talented than the backup over there. About the workouts, all righty. Thank you. And number two. You have to lift up a little bit. Come, yeah, you can put that one on the side. Palette number three. Say, palette number three. Perfect, right there. I appreciate you both, you have a good one. Yes, sir, we got one, two, three. It's time for us to pull up and get this cheese. Let's go. And we are here at the drop-off. We hear the ball like hot sauce. Oh, I gotta bring the throwback. So they know I'm here, baby. Let me in now, uh-oh. Hello. How you doing? I have a drop-off coming from Germantown. I'm in the Sprinter van. Oh, Green Bay packaging. Give me a second. Okay. And I'll meet you at the ramp. The ramp? Okay, all the way down there. All righty. Thank you. Let's get us right ski so we can get busy. So use to it. I'm fine. Right. Right. Drop in the back. You can't, you gotta practice it all the time. Okay, you want me to pull it down? Yeah. Okay. Thank you, you have a good one. So as you guys just heard, the carrier company absolutely made a terrible mistake while I was trying to go out there and be great. And I was highly upset about this.  Because honestly, I didn't even want to take the low in the first place. I'm gonna give you guys the whole breakdown. So I put a bid in on the low. They told me that it was 11 o'clock pickup, 11 a.m. So I'm thinking like already I already don't want to do it. I'm like, I really don't want to do it because it's already kind of later in the day. I try to do everything I do in the morning because I don't want to get stuck in traffic, traffic. Looking for my traffic. There's a form average. So I put the bid in for $300. Then like 15, 20 minutes later, the dispatcher reached out to me. They reached out to me and said, the carrier, I mean, the customer said, can you do it for $255? I said, no, I can't do it for $255. I'm like, can you do it for $275? I'm like, no. Then he like, can we try for $285? I'm like, you know what? I really had no or lows all day. So let me go ahead and just do it for the $285, right? Mind you, I won the low the day before for the next day. So I ain't had nothing for the next day. I'm like, I might as well go do this.  So he like, can you do it early? I'm like, yes, the earlier the better. He said, okay, I'm gonna talk to the customer and see what they can do. So then he reached out to me and texted me this and said, Jerome, just to let you know, I couldn't get them to make the pickup time earlier. So this one picks up tomorrow at 2 p.m., sending all the details shortly. I'm like, I'm thinking on head, what is he talking about? Then I told him, when I put the bid in, the pickup time said 11 a.m., not 2 p.m. So then I'm like, man, look, now I really don't wanna do it cause I know that it's possible that I'm gonna run into traffic. So then he reached out to me. He said, I know as well, but the customer just confirmed that the pickup time was posted wrong. The RC, that's the race sheet, says it will be ready at 2 p.m. And they can't guarantee that it will be ready earlier. We good to go. So I'm still, I'm ending the video for y'all. So we can go out there and ball. I'm ending the video for y'all. So I never asked him back. Then he called me. So now this is the only reason why I did this. Let me tell you guys right now. This is the only reason why I did this low. I did this low because you gotta think long term and stop always thinking so short term. I know I don't wanna do this low right now, but I do know that this dispatcher that always reached out to me, every time he reached out to me, I am not here for us already noticing some good news that I got a low. He used, it's two dudes that usually always give me right in my pocket site. It's two of them.   He absolutely tweaked. I don't know if he tweaked or the customer tweaked, somebody tweaked. But I'm gonna just go ahead and do this low because I wanna be, have a good rapport with this person because I don't wanna mess up what we got going on. So I actually had to take that low for the 285. I really didn't wanna do it. Oh, matter of fact, I didn't get 295, I got 295. He had an extra $10, which I also started to think a little bit. Like was he low key for Nessa a little bit? I don't know. I don't know. Y'all comment below and let me know. Was he for Nessa a little bit? Was the being really for 300 and then he just told me, can we go down to 255? And it was already 300, he already had one and he called a customer. Hey, I've watched everything everybody do. So that's what I, that's just me. But comment below and let me know. Now we got order number two. I love getting this money. I hope you do too. The pickup location is rose. You have to pull up and uh, Skull, the app is roadie. You're trying to get our pockets on Swoggy. Now we are picking up, instead of just wanna pick up 40 items that weighs three pounds a piece. We're gonna drive seven miles for 72, 38. It's time to pull up and be great. Let's go. We are here at one of our favorite stores, so we can get this dough, G. Pull up and go to see if they can get us together. Can you pick it up and order? Yes ma'am. Do you have the order number or the bar code to scan? I'm gonna have to order number. Okay, go ahead. 100, 901, 067, 240, 790, 272. 2000 years later. Oh, it's this. Yeah. Y'all walk past it 30 times. All righty, thank you very much. You guys have a great one. All righty, thank you. The joint is huge. They could not find it, but nothing. It was walking right past it. And just like that, we gone. It's time for us to pull up and get in our zone. Let's go. We are here at the drop-off.  This is actually a business and not a house. I don't know what to say. Press here. Oh, right here. Good ball. Oh, we in the game coach. We in the game coach. Yes, sir. I don't see nobody in this zone. How you doing, sir? I have something to drop up to you guys from Lowe's. It's told me to come in this 39-19, right? Yeah. Yeah, I'm in a sprinter van right here. Okay. There you go. Go straight in. There you go. Okay. I think I lifted it up. Yeah, you lifted it up. You good? Yes, sir. Let's go straight. Yeah. Hold on. The pallet, the pallet right here. Let me move it for you. Let me move this pallet for you. Y'all already know what we got to do. What time is it? Step back in with the full old yard, don't smack. We gone. So I guess that order was wrong too, baby. It said it was supposed to be 40 pieces and it was all one piece. I don't know what's going on. That joint was super heavy too.  Me trying to carry that joint, I was gonna have to put it on a dolly and roll that joint in so we can go out and get them dipped in. But I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I also want you guys to comment below and let me know how is the market going in your area. It's going very slow. Like as far as carry company goes, the carry company been absolutely terribly slow in my area, baby. We ain't been getting no money, but it is what it is. That's what I tell you guys. You need to have multiple streams of income coming in because if you don't got nothing from the carry company, we've had been getting some rode orders here and there, but everything has been very, very, very, very, very slow in my area. So what I've been doing is focusing more on the crypto side so I can get them dipped in the slide. That's what I'm trying to do. But I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Again, if you're not subscribed, make sure to subscribe, but also give me a thumbs up.  So don't seize up, don't seize up in the comment section below so y'all can go out there and scow. I'll see you guys on next one. Be going, be going, be flowing. You already know the DDK and I'm on my way.


Good morning and welcome to run it back to shows left. So let's make this one not awful. We start now Good morning and welcome to run it back you guys, this is our penultimate show of the season So I will do my introduction stadium insider Shamsha Rania Chandler P. Eddie Gonzalez and Chandler The internet was in love with you yesterday, and I'm worried for your health. What uh, what is going on? I don't know, but I can get used to this Michelle. This is very very flattering day yesterday It was highlights. It was dunce. It was crossovers. I didn't know what to do with any of it, but here we are To get love I'm catching spades from old teammates and I was the best teammate he's ever had this is We're onto something talking about talking about me this much I don't know what it was, but I'm a little bit worried for you, but you know what we can get to that later We got lots of time. We want to what we want to show some more love to the nuggets as we prepare For the parade that you know, you'll get just super excited about but we want to look ahead. Here you go Those are co-favorites to repeat. Um, Milwaukee still in there because we're not giving up on them yet But if you had to name a roadblock Chandler, what would you think it would be that would keep this nugget team from moving forward and doing this thing again Well, I think health would be the biggest thing just to be able to keep Murray Yokic fully healthy obviously is a main priority to them, but and also free agency I don't think it's anything that they could do. I think other teams are going to now be chasing them other teams We're going to be now planning and prioritizing. How do we get?  I love Boston at those odds These teams have a lot to prove next year after having kind of a sub par mediocre Disappointing year. There's no there's never really there's no pressure to go back to back right like it's awesome teams have done it Denver has a chance to do that, but there's no pressure for them to go back to back There's there's pressure now on Boston. There's pressure on that duo and Joe Missoula Giannis is arguably the greatest player in the world. He has pressure next year With a new coach and and with chris middleton a year of healthy now I think there's a lot of deep really good teams So it's it's not just going to be easy for them to repeat But I definitely think if they stay healthy they resign guys like bruce brown and they just and they add a couple other pieces They're going to be right there, but I don't I don't feel like they have pressure to do it again. They There's a lot of teams that are going to be hunting them down next year though I think Chandler makes a great point health is going to be a big thing and just how do the how do they make their team better? I think bruce brown the most are going to be able to pay him I think around seven million dollars like he's going to be up for teams full mid-level exception with start set Over 12 million. So it's voting. I saw bruce brown said after After they won the the finals and how much he wants to be in denver But it's going to be a tough hill to climb to go and retain him and beyond that health for sure But you look across the western confed you expect phoenix to be better Memphis will see second half of the season if and when jaws back in the fold Sacramento you would expect them to take a jump as well Lakers lakers will always be their clippers if they keep this duo and they stay healthy in oklahoma city That's a team that i'm really looking at to take a jump as well Chet home coming back healthy another you were josh goody shake goes out xander So the western conference always going to be deep always going one interesting thing I've heard in the last few weeks that denver's trying to get in the first round and Going and drafting a guy. So it'll be curious to see they have a bunch of future picks Who they can trade to go get in the first round and next thursday's nba draft But this I spent time talking to nuggets officials during the finals spoke them once tim connelly took the minnesota job Even if everyone on the outside thinks they won't make it back to the finals or won't win at all You know kalin booth michael malone. They expect this team next year to win a championship So that was a good listing of the western conference teams eddie and i'm wondering if any of those stood out to you as far as the most Dangerous or the most threatening to this nuggets team moving forward I mean, I think you have the same teams you're worried about The issue that those teams have going forward the warriors the the lakers the suns The the pelicans who are seeming to Be willing to do some shuffling is the cap is going to be an issue for them The it's not as easy. It's not going to be as easy to collect max contract players And and gobble them together and create a super team now as it once was and you're going to need There's going to be a lot more stress and draft capital And I'm not surprised that the nuggets are trying to get back into the first round because they've drafted so well One thing I will say about bruce brown if they have to lose him for money reasons They obviously love christian brown and he can step into that role and then payton watson who Chandler mentioned yesterday It was a rookie for them this year. They have really high hopes for him going forward six eight He can score a little bit and if they can groom him to being another christian brown It won't hurt as much to lose bruce brown. I think they're in a great situation They have their guys locked up for the future going forward They have a team that they love obviously they have a team that makes sense And they have a team that they can afford as they go into deeper into the contracts of these guys It's going to be tough to catch up with them teams are going to have to get real creative this summer Yeah, I want to ask you. Oh, sorry go ahead. Chandler No, I agree with any but I got to say seven million a year Bruce brown is not going back for seven million a year. He deserves a lot more than that He has outplayed that and I think a team is going to go another contender that has more space Is going to go on offer him more than that But I do like the point that christian brown Has showed flashes in this postseason that he can kind of handle more of a load same thing payton watson I love him chomps is that they're trying to get up a draft So it's almost like they're preparing to lose bruce brown and There'll be a guy that they can go and get in free agency that can give similar production to bruce brown at seven million a year Versus, you know going up to that 12 to 15 million dollar range. So That's tough and that's going to be a hard loss, but there don't be guys to kind of replace him Oh, it's it's always hurtful when you hear that you're replaceable. I don't like that Look, I want to preface my next question by just saying I don't think this because I saw a lot of talking heads yesterday beating this narrative into the ground And I don't know about it But channeler there are people saying that the path the nuggets had to take to get to the finals And it wasn't that impressive a reminder They beat an eight seed a four seed a seven seed and then an eight seed again Do you think that that diminishes what they were able to accomplish at all? No, maybe they got the benefit of the doubt on on an easier path with some upsets and the heroics that the miami heat pulled off and Sure, it would have been different if maybe that seltax team or a milwaukee team, but That's out of their control, right? It's like when a team wins a national championship And they got to go through it one of these cinderella teams and march madness that doesn't diminish what they did They can they got to control what they can control The nuggets all season long were the best team in the western conference arguably in the mba So whatever whatever team whatever that they were that they drew Uh, that's out of their that's out of their jurisdiction and they have nothing to do with that But they handled i mean How much better do you want them to play they they lost one time in the finals? They sweep the lake or is it i don't i don't think that diminishes at all I just think it shows you that they're actually more mature and they never had any let downs You know assuming that they were heavy favorites in all these series They just handled it Whatever the job was the whatever the task was at hand they handled it professionally and they They approached it like we're gonna win this no matter what and that's what they did So you can't knock or take them away just because there were some upsets Yeah, look surprised guys the regular season it actually matters like getting seating actually matters home court Matters playing with continuity throughout the regular season all that stuff matters So to the victor go to spoils with this I can't believe people are saying this because going into the playoffs a lot of people said the lakers could beat them The suns could beat them people were exclaimed the timber wolves were a live dog if healthy If I was to give them one critique that would be that timber wolves were down a couple of their core guys Suns lost two starters in their series, but that's not their fault They it's not like they can help that and plus the nuggets have no injury sympathy for anybody They were they were dealing with they lost them all married for two straight playoff series. It's like, you know, those are the breaks I picked the suns to beat them I picked the lakers to beat them if they missed out on anybody it was the warriors And that's the warriors fault for losing to the lakers all the stuff that happened in the east The east is funny because we we said the same thing about the heat But they beat the two best teams in the east on the way to the to the finals So clearly they were better. They they had the chance they had the opportunity to lose those series and they did not lose them so Yo They beat who was there they they don't make the schedule It's up to the other teams to keep up with them and that lakers team I don't want to diminish that lakers team because that was a really good team And the nuggets just ran through them.  We know I think we know now None of those other teams were better than the nuggets anyway Who maybe they missed out on the clippers, but we know the story of the clippers So everybody else they beat them fair and square is what it is I feel like we're giving so many benefits of the doubt to the teams that didn't accomplish what they were supposed to Do accomplish and then the nuggets are getting crushed because they beat the teams that beat the teams that people are claiming should have been there in the first Play it makes absolutely no sense And it's why we have playoffs and there have been people that I I respect in this business saying this yesterday that I was just sort of Open mouths listening to like this doesn't make any sense whatsoever, but here we are nuggets Enjoy everything you've earned it now. They got to learn some stuff shams. What do you think they'll learn from this title run? I mean, there's a lot that Jamal Murray I'm focused on him. We saw Nikola Yoke. He's got like no care of the world. He's thinking about the parade ending going back to his horses spending family time he's got another family event around august Time and so we'll see if he's gonna play for the serbian national team The feeble world cup as those teams start to get set as well for the olympic qualifiers, but To me Jamal Murray the way he was able to come back and be himself I keep I keep bringing bringing this up, but I saw this team in the bubble I saw how good they were going to be. I saw how good they were the upset they had against the clippers I really thought this this team if Jamal Murray doesn't cherish ACL missed the last two post seasons They could have had a championship earlier. They could have been in the finals earlier So if anything they got exactly I think what was meant for this team now Jamal Murray He got healthy. I think as the year went on in the playoffs. I think he was he was at his best I can't wait to see Jamal Murray next season healthy This is this is a guy that has a real shot to be an all-star And really be a guy that could be in contention for all NBA given what he's proven in the playoffs Yeah, you know what it showed it showed that when he is healthy He's a top three point guard and that he can be a number one option on any given night And definitely a number two option on a championship level team and everything he's went through someone like this This is a this is even sweeter for him because guy is counting him out You know the story about Malone or when he went to Malone's office and asked if they're gonna keep him He went through help and to go through that surgery and now to kind of be back at the top again It feels sweeter than just kind of taking the normal path. So I'm super hype for Jamal Murray And also I think this championship run it showed you that there used to be like the big threes back in the day Now it's like there's teams all across the league Whether you look at boston with brown and tatum or embed with hardened or philly with Embed and hardened or you know yannis and melton all these teams with duos This now is the recipe as long as you fill out that roster with the other guys with the erin gordon's With the bruce browns with the tough defensive minded shooting guys like brown and kcp and christian brown That that's the rest the recipe you have your horses You're gonna ride them during the during the you know clutch most crucial part of the games But this just shows you that when you have a duo like kevin durant and devon booker You can contend for a championship if those roll guys continue to to play their role and do it well Miami heat roll guys didn't do it as good as the nuggets did They end up winning the finals But I think it showed a lot of things it showed a lot of teams that they're gonna need six extra fouls with bigger Guys on the bench to handle yokich It's funny that this guy's so good other teams are now gonna plan next season for him and the playoffs Um, but it was a special it was a special run And the way they orchestrated and put this team together is perfect and you can tell these guys like each other There's no real distractions on the seam.  So they have such an unbelievable thing going on over there The force racing it's got it's just must be fun. I don't understand what I'm missing Five different champions in the last five years. I know we're high off the rush of a new champion right now We're talking dynastee and it's fun to think about eddie But do you think the parody will continue and we'll just keep having new parties every year I do think the league is a little top heavy and the five different champions is a little misleading I mean we were just talking a few weeks back the same four teams in the conference finals in the bubble The same four teams now. So we do have a lot of the same faces We do have a lot of the same duos as chandler mentioned that are up there But yeah, talk about dynastee is a little premature because There's so much variance now with the with the three-point shooting with the pace of the With the pace of play and the injuries that result are a result of that that it's tough to say that like there Anything could happen. There's there's constant roadblocks, but they will be contenders It's very very serious contenders. If not the very best team for a time going forward for sure It's just takes so much to get to the championship and nobody knows better than the nuggets I mean like shams mentioned Those guys felt like they could have won titles They could have competed for titles the last three years since the bubble and and just a million different things happen for them So I think again the variance of the league It's going to make it hard for teams to repeat three-peat. We haven't had a three-peat since kobe and shack You know, we're talking we're on to 20 years now of no three-peats So it's going to be really hard to complete that mission But they're set up in a great place like we've been saying it this whole week They're in a great place to be the first team in in some time to repeat And uh, they got a good shot. They just have to stay healthy and it's really on them Yeah, eddie eddie makes a good point. Obviously the nba is it's really top heavy right now like next year We know exactly who are going to be the top 10 teams barring a huge turnover in free agency or via trade We know the good teams next year and we know the bad teams But when you look at the nuggets, they are a team that's going to be back there Like we talked about yesterday. They have their four main guys under contract. They're going to be there But also those other teams at the top. They're now hungry that the milwaukee bucks are thirsty for You know a contending team the boston self-takes have a lot of pressure to win a championship next year I look at a team like the phoenix suns This was arguably the most talented team after the kd trade and you got a guy like devin booker who i Firmly believe will be in the mvp talks next year All these guys have things to prove and a lot of all these guys are just missing a championship So it's not going to be easy for denver at all. I think it's great for the league The league is so talented where you look at all these teams across the board that anything can happen on any given And then there's players that can literally carry a teams and win go and win a playoff game. So It won't be easy for them. Yeah, that's that's that's interesting What about all those mouth breathers who told us the ratings were going to be low. What happened? Did they get that wrong? All right Yeah, listen, it's not going to be easy But the the nuggets are going to be there right there in the conversation for years to come It makes me happy that we know that there'll be a lot of good teams And we don't know that they'll just be too good team Like I loved the Warriors run, but it was also kind of boring after a while that we knew it would be them the heat on the other hand I mean, there's no reason to doubt them. Jimmy butler certainly doesn't having said I still believe with everything in me that we will win a championship here in Miami But it has been two bitter very bitter finals losses Um, and we know they're gonna have to do some changing channeler, but how does jimmy keep the positivity going? How do they regroup and try this again? Well, just as they did this year, right? They kind of flew under the radar the I still I I can't believe he said the regulars the regular season comment how he doesn't Try to play off. I'm going to believe him though next year I'm going to give him one more chance to kind of have a mediocre regular season And then turn it up in the playoffs But this is a team with arguably the best coach. They don't really have a superstar player I think jimmy butler is very very good I I can't put him in the same category as kevin orant I can't put him in the same category as steve or steve hurray or yokage for guys like that But he's very good, but they're one piece away. They need something else They need they have a lot of decisions to make this summer on max truce on gave benson But this is a tough minded team. This is a team that is used to being slept on This is a team that has that culture that's going to grind they're going to get better They're going to continue to develop all these players Um, but there is no doubt in my mind They're going to be right there in the thick of things and you look at their team They're not as they're not as good as boston seltings. They're not as talented as guys like yannis and You know in beat and hearted and tiris maxi, but they know how to win and they know how to compete And that's more important than just talent alone. So no doubt in my mind They'll be here in the same situation next year contending for a championship Depending what they do in free agency who they add who they lose There's a there's a real chance that the teams they beat in the easter conference this year are going to go through A a ton of transition this year. I mean a lot of people think james hardens on his way out of philly Uh, everybody's wondering about jailing brown all summer Milwaukee chris middleton book lopez if those teams get a little bit worse and the heat managed to improve a little bit Yeah, they're right in the thick of things again. The problem is who can they beat out west? I mean we're we're I would never pick them against the nuggets ever after what we just seen over last week So then we're looking at what the warriors the suns the clippers if the clippers get there Like I feel like those teams and their talent. It's just a better collection of talent So it is tough for them But they will be contenders in the east going forward and they've always been aggressive We mean we were talking about this yesterday Their history is to be aggressive and to figure out ways to improve that roster and to find these diamonds in the rough So if they lose gave vinson it would not shock me if they find the next gave vinson And if they lose kao laori it would not shock me if they go find another veteran point guard To fill that role for them and whether it's this summer or whether it's next february They just seem to always do that and it's a it's a great organization over there And they know what they like in their players and they know what they want going forward. So I mean since the bubble they've been around conference finals conference finals finals They're not going anywhere. Are they going to win a title? Well, he's there. I don't know that's tough sledding because Yes, these other teams will have some transition this year But they're going to continue to get better going forward and they have stars that are much better players than jimmy unfortunately for him So many changes that could happen shams mentioned about the kairi erving at the deadline the inquiries that were made in Miami Should they try to sign kairi erving chandler? I mean is that is that a fit that would actually work in miami's favor? I mean i'm a big talent guy right if I can get kairi erving somehow and and he's on his last lemma his last chance Yeah, I throw the kitchen sink still at kairi erving. I think it's I think it's a mood point I think he's going back to dallas I think they're gonna give him a three or four year max deal and and I think he'll be there for a while But yeah, listen in that culture with with you know that With pat riley there with erics bolster If there's ever a place where you know kairi shenanigans can't be uh can't be done It's it's miami and again. He knows he's on his last chance here. He wants to get paid. He wants to succeed um But yeah, I I think if you can do that and you can and you can add a talent like kairi erving and you're already in the situation you are Sure swing for the fence, but He's going back to dallas. You guys don't think kairi could disrupt even the miami heat culture That could be a good challenge for him. See if he could I feel like it'd be kind of fun to watch personally, but okay, so let's say it's not kairi shams Who who are some of the other big names that this team could be targeting? Yeah, I mean, I think it's clear as you go into this offseason This is a team that probably wants to go get another high end Uh, you know star type of guy at least someone that can take the load off jimmy butler bam out of bio in the regular season The guy that you can depend on when jimmy butler like he said during the regular season Like I don't really care for the regular season I'm ready for the playoffs and we saw he can flip the switch come playoff time He said it before he doesn't care about all star games doesn't care about about um about regular season He even told jaren greenberg of envy tv. He doesn't care about the hall of fame. So this is a guy who clearly I mean, he's saying it cares about winning a championship And I think what this heat team needs is a guy that can Help with that burden in at least in the regular season come playoff time.  They made an offer for him at the deadline. It was a little too late It was right before the trade happened to the mavericks. Um, but that's the type of guy, right? So when you think about dame lillard, he's been Highly reported on he came out and said he'd love to be in miami if he were to be traded So I think that's the type of guy that you want to go get, you know, does the brad beal get available So those are the types of players that you have to look at if you're miami and what do you have to give? That's the biggest question I think any package Tyler hero you have and they can trade up to three first round picks on draft night So that's kind of the basis of a package you're looking at for a superstar player Oh, yeah, I mean cute. I don't know eddie Have you done the whole what if kairi had been traded to miami before all this? Like have you thought about it and played with that idea? I mean it depends on what they had to give up, right? I mean you're probably looking at You know max truce and Duncan robertson and whatever But I mean he's a talent.  He's proven that before I don't know how well he matches with their system But I mean we look at the things that Tyler hero has done kairi can do that and more if he's over there with those guys So yeah, if they were able to maintain jimmy bam and some of their other guys It changes things for sure But I mean how much better are they going to do it? I don't think they would beat the nuggets if they have if they have kairi instead of You know four other guys in the depth they needed to fit there All those guys contributed like whomever it was they would have had to trade it All those guys contributed so you know it it is addition But you all have some some traction as well I'm very curious about what they do this offseason like if they're going to really spring big If they're going to put bam at a bio on the table, which I don't think they should do unless it's for a Jaylin brown type a joll and bead who probably should not be available unless he asks out One of those superstar types Anything is possible for them and and I'm very curious to see what they go and and you know They get to start doing this next week as sounds mentioned the night of the draft and they had those picks eligible to trade Dame is the loudest of the names for sure, but I wonder if they kick the tires on trey young, you know They're they're gonna have to add something and they have to know that going forward So I'm very curious to see what they do Well trey young already said the hawks were next so he's got work to do in Atlanta according to his social media But chandler tyler hero. I mean we it's been a minute since we've seen him play should he be on the table I mean, I think yeah, he is on the table But also it's what have you done for me lately and he wasn't there in the most critical part and obviously it's not his fault he suffered a freak injury here and Tyler hero is a hooper and he's exactly what they need sure if they can go and get a Jordan Clarkson or someone like that this summer that i'm gonna replace em and go get you 15 to 22 points a game And you can put tyler hero and some picks in a package to go and get a kairi or a dame or a trey young I love trey young there. I do think trey young as a second third option on that team and that culture I think that's exactly what he needs, but you know, that's that's a long shot too But yeah, tyler hero he can play and he's young and he could technically be their future Scoring starting two guards for years to come. He's that good. He's that much of a talent But it's all about I think again what what the guys touched on what they're willing to give up and and And they have a lot of assets so they're in they're in the driver's seat with what they can do And it'll be interesting because they're already a great product now without making a one move So it's it's they can only get better on my eyes I'm just pleading with twitter to get a championship ring emoji I just that's all I want I want that before I die because that wedding ring thing is so bizarre in context Shoms, I mean, what is that like that's that's something else. It's a different message That's that's great confidence. We all need trey young confidence. I love it. It's very i'm here for it Some might say delusional, but those are just some uh, I don't know who they are shams It's scoop time. We mentioned the Milwaukee Bucks at the top of the show co-favorites Moving into next year with the nuggets to win it all the latest on chris middleton. What is it? Yeah, so chris middleton actually underwent surgery right after the season. He had to get his knee cleaned up He dealt with a really an ailing knee throughout the second half of this nba season He just was not right throughout the year and so um from what i'm told this is This was a cleanup procedure arthroscopic surgery that that he had and and he's expected to resume basketball activities later this summer But this is a guy that that has a 40 million dollar player option We'll see he has a deadline next week before the draft to pick it up or not We'll see what happens there. Um, but I I think when you look at his future in milwaukee I think there's a lot of signs that would point to him going back He was very involved in the bucks coaching search. Um, he spent time meeting with ownership meeting with league Team officials as far as where that would go where that hiring process would go So the fact that he was involved leads me to believe that he feels good about it But chander arthroscopic surgery for a guy like this and chris milton who dealt with it What goes into that? What's the recovery from that and is that something to to monitor and be aware of? No, and this is the perfect time to do it. He's got the whole off season ahead of him to do it This is super simple procedure 30 minutes.  It's just a scope Um, he can walk out of that hospital after he has a surgery Uh quick rehab month tops, I would say and then he's right back on the court You know doing full activity. So people forget when when the when the bucks made that run Chris milton was their god He was their closer the bull was in his hands when they needed a bucket as great as yannis is So he's huge to their to their team to their success. I don't see him If he opts out, I think it's just to get a longer deal in milwaukee. I can't see him going anywhere else I think they're no, he's a perfect fit the way he can create shots the way he can knock down shots He's a perfect, uh, you know robin to yannis is batman. So I wouldn't I wouldn't let him go anywhere If anything, I'd let him opt out kind of longer Yeah, chris smoked the pistons and those highlights by the way He was giving them buckets. But yeah, they need him this they've proven that this is a championship core This they've proven they could win they're in the thick of it every year They won the east in the regular season this year. Um, what they need to do is they need to Improve on the fringes. They need to figure out brook lopez and they need to figure out the rest of their wings And and some depth because they know what they're looking at in the east going forward And it's going to be the seltics and the heat and the sixers Um, but yeah, they need to keep him there I don't think there's a better situation for him out there at this very moment either You know, if if you look around in the landscape You can always use a wing who can make threes and who can create his own baskets But the way he plays off of yannis and the way they compliment each other It's the best situation for both of them right now We are uh, we're gonna say goodbye to shams right here shams. Enjoy your weekend our last show on monday. We're something pretty Uh, we will see you then and when we come back jimmy beller says he ain't worried about the hall of fame Are we buying that we'll talk about it next Your good friend dwayne way it's going into the hall of fame a couple months Have you allowed yourself to think what it would ever mean to you? To be elected into the basketball hall of fame.  No, I don't do you think your resume? Still don't care. Honestly speaking. Good care less if we're being brutally honest If I was selected to the hall of fame I'm not going You're not going to accept it. No, no, I'm not going like it's like the festivities and all of that I just want to like I just want to like go put my feet in the sand somewhere Should be puppet over here. Okay, so he does not not just that he doesn't care about being in the hall of fame He doesn't even want to go and make the speech if it does happen. Eddie. Are you buying that?  It's disrespectful to the hall of fame to say I'd rather be in believes or what michael jordan went and he cried in front of all of us Like it was it I rolled my eyes so much when I seen this I don't believe him. I think this is ludicrous. I don't know why he's doing this stuff that he's doing, but Like I guess bro like whatever if he makes it like he's friends anyway I think maybe he punched his ticket this year Because I feel like the standards have been lowered a little bit, but Yeah, if you make it go like what are you talking about right now? This this was crazy to me Yeah, I mean It's it's a weird thing to say obviously throughout the history of the mba It's a huge huge honor to to be even considered and We're talking like he's a lock and listen. He's a six-time all-star.  He We're the person of the moment right now. Jimmy Butler is hot as they come right now He's a superstar 15 years from now. Are we going to talk about how we let it eight seed to the finals That's why he's in the hall of fame I don't know but he he has a hell of a resume. He's you know five time all mba he's he's He's got the the accolades. I think the cherry on top would be the championship But again, I just think it's like a weird flex to say i'm not going if I get That's a little bit. It just seemed yeah, it seemed a little forced Yeah, I remember I remember he put he went to an all-star game He knew he couldn't play in injured and kept his spot like he's not fooling me I remember what he's done. He could have gave that spot away to a guy He did the same thing. Yannis did this year, by the way, which I hate it this year as well Yeah, he knew he couldn't play all weekend. He kept his jersey There was deserving guys that could have taken that spot and it He's not fooling me He's going if he makes it to the hall of fame and he's four from the on the ballot on the docket that night He's going and he's gonna watch the whole ceremony. I don't believe him Maybe he doesn't like to give speeches publicly like he has a phobia of public speak I could see that and then he's just adding he's all he's done his talk for the last three months I don't believe that party Over the years of like Damian Lillard saying I've disrespected not making an all-star team not begin to Like he's just saying this So we want to we want to find out. All right. So all right, Jimmy.  I think he cries when he gets the call. I think his family his friends are Static if he ever gets that up What a what a weird thing to be talking about in june Way ahead of time. Um, bill Simmons thinks that the Sixers are going to land Bradley Beale in a trade chandler. Is that a significant upgrade over james harden? Honestly, I hope he does. I think brad beal is one of those players that He's so talented and he's just been in a shitty situation for his entire career to be Boldly honest with you. I think he is a perfect fit for joel mb. I think he's a great guy He's a florida gator for god's sake. So, you know, he's just Oh brother, he's a true But no, I mean I think harder we can just see he's on a different way right now. He's on a different path on a different vibe He had the the issues with doc Uh, he's got all these reports about coming back to houston or maybe phoenix. It's not why can't they just be I'm hyped to go back to philly and play with the mvp and play with this, you know, contending team Uh, it's not and I know joel mb and and brad beal are friends and they both train with drew hanglin in the summer Um, and so maybe there is something there and he can create and he could shoot the ball And he's slightly younger than james harden. So I definitely think there is something here I know they have a personal relationship. I know brad beal, you know, he got the long term deal in washington But he doesn't want to go back there. He doesn't want to sit there and rot and on that team like he has been Um, so maybe and I can see it. I do think they actually get better than that depending on It's going to be a collective effort to replace james harden. But yeah, I think brad beal would be a perfect fit Uh, eddie nba executives believe that carl anthony towns will be traded in the next few weeks Are you buying that and how many fan bases are secretly going not here not here? go Next few weeks is very interesting. And I mean, I think this is a smoke and fire situation It's long been noise about maybe he could be on his way out I'm curious what that trade package looks like because of his teammate rudy gobert In the amount of things you would have to give up I I would be very interested to see him on the nix. There's a bunch of teams I think miami would be a real interesting team with him It's it's goofy as he can be and i'm no big fan of carl anthony towns And I know a lot of NBA fans aren't he is a talent. He is an absolute sniper at that size. He could be He can be disruptive defensively He he is a talent worth giving up a lot of track draft stock for I'd be lining up to get him if I could if he fits. Um, do I believe it? What? Yeah, I think I think they're uttering a new era out there in minnesota patrick beaverly patrick beaverly says He's the best big man. And then what am I drunk? What is happening right now? It is pat beaver's trying to go viral and get some podcast views. Come on though For whatever reason, I don't know cat personally, but any he said he's he's he's goofy, right? He's a little bit horny for whatever reason. He's not the most likeable guy, which is crazy because he has game and he is a Absolutely dominating force, especially on the offense offensive end. He can shoot And he just said something really interesting that miami heat. He would be perfect I had this in my notes earlier that he I'd love to see them get like a low pez or a boost of it this summer with a stretch big center Towns is towns. I mean, they'd have to give up a lot. I think imagine what they'd have to give up Since they just gave up that much for for uber and towns is, you know, I think way more talented Uh, so it's interesting and I don't think he's gonna be a T will up next year I think that course is is kind of ran itself dry and and I think he's gonna find a new home But yeah, you you look across the board any team can use this guy. He's big. He can post up He can bring the ball up. He's he's a similar version of yokich where he can do everything on the offensive end So he definitely has a lot of value and I and I would love to see him somewhere else Wait was jimmy butler and carl anthony towns. Was that bat minnesota team where jimmy butler's like y'all are all soft Yeah, they didn't happen. It was that ain't happened. There is no chance. That's the problem And carl anthony towns unless he grew a heart. I don't I mean, I don't know like he got real Tough or something. I still see that happening Uh, but anyways, pred van bleat About to maybe get a bunch of money. He opted out. He is a free agent. Uh, the lakers do we think that's the best fit for him? Eddie Um, it's one of them. It's one of them and they need a point guard They they need somebody who can help shooting and then you saw what they had with dilo and the way he flamed out I don't think they can go into next year with austin reeves as their primary point guard. So Fred van bleat. Yeah, he's one of the one of the good fits. He's battle tested. He's he's been a great playoff performer There's gonna be a long line of teams looking for him I think the interesting thing for him is going to be price tag He just turned down 22 million dollars next year and you can say hey 22 million dollars for one year or you know 60 for three years or whatever he has in mind But 22 million dollars is a lot of money and there's not a ton of cap space going around this summer Yeah, we keep if he's a plug-and-play guy too, right? His his style the way he can shoot the way he can run offense. He can play at any system We keep bringing up the heat. I would I would love them on the Miami heat I think if they don't resign I think that's a huge upgrade. I think he's a better version of gave Vincent. He's a great dude He fits that culture. He fits that locker room. Um, I'd love to see him there I'd love to see him on the Lakers. I'd love to see him, you know, if Kyrie Irving moves from Dallas But I don't think it happened. I'd love to see him in Dallas alongside luka to give him another playmaker Any team it could use fred van vleet and any contending team he's going to make even better So I think he's in a good spot. I think he's gonna get a huge payday Listen, if you just opt out of a 22 million dollar option You know, you're getting that for a longer deal, right? Your agent told you there's no way That you're going for 22 year 22 million for one year He's going to get that for a longer three four year deal. So he's in a good spot He's gonna get a good payday and hopefully goes to a good team so we can actually see him You know play again at the highest level in the playoffs in the finals Yeah, it's more fun for everybody if it's relevant. Uh coming up next we hop on the coaching carousel Talk about which coach in year one has the best chance to make it. I don't know to the finals Or far oh and run it back returns The coaching carousel, you know having looked at it on a page I don't think I realize how many moves have just been made As the offseason hasn't even really started, but we want to go ahead and do correlatives. Who's doing that? Here you go There's there's what has happened already a lot of outs a lot of ins I won't read it to you. I know you guys can all read I want to start with the new coach that's most likely to succeed Long term chandler on the right. Who do you got? Um, I believe I have nick nurse. I think he I think he had uh, I think he got a little bit of a raw deal in Toronto I think this is a fresh start for him where he's Haring the best team available. He just went and got Outside Griffin in Milwaukee. I mean the feet the Philadelphia 36ers are right there I think a lot has to do with the hardened situation But when you have the MVP and you have guys like Tyrese maxi and you have the depth under contract that this team has I think he's going to a very good situation with a very strong fan base That's primed and ready to make a big run next year. So I think this is going to be a huge step forward for him and his career and he's going to again He's inheriting the MVP of the entire league. What more can you ask for? That's not bad I like I like Chandler's choice. I went with Monty Williams and my thinking is that the The markers for success will be different for him. This is a team who was in the lottery Almost had the worst record in the league It's a team with a lot of young talent and it's going to be a slow build for him And that's what he does. He develops young talents He helps build them into a better team and they have a ton of talent there So in that sense, it will be a success. I think he has a ton of job security over there as well So he's going to get the time to make that happen. I love kate and cunningham. I love jade and ivy I love jonathan weissman I think they got a great thing going over there and i'm very interested to see it play out And so in that sense, I think you know if they're if they're close to 500 this year That's a success if they're in the playoffs in three years. That's a success So by by based on those markers. Yes, I think he's going to have the most successful Long term out there in detroit That was a very deep moment eddie because we're all defining success differently And I appreciate you for uh for thinking of it that way Most likely to reach the finals in year one Eddie we got Well, they deleted my answer here, but i'm pretty sure I chose frank vogal because They were in the conference finals just now and they have a ton of opportunity to improve this off season as well At the end of the day they have the brand they have anthony davis. So i'm gonna go with frank vogal I think they will be aggressive this summer. I don't know if they'll get kairi But I think they'll be aggressive in in adding to their to the wing depth I think they'll find themselves another big and they were right there Like they were a great team at the end of this playoffs It's just the nuggets were that much better, which is unfortunate for them But if i'm saying most likely i'm gonna go with frank vogal Yeah But go ahead. Sorry go ahead. Just be being confused. I haven't slept go on Yeah, uh i'm with eddie. I think he also I think that that's a great team. It's a great core I think booker is absolutely primed Uh to have an mvp season The chris paul thing's looming a bit but in the d3a situation, but this this team is talented Uh This team has that duo that we talked about earlier that can lead you to a championship and again I'm I'm high on debba booker next year really entering his prime Kind of you know under the radar in some capacity slept on a little bit I really expect him and katie to blow next year and wouldn't be surprised if they end up as the number one seed next year coming out of the west So I think I think vogal is gonna Got something got something special here I also think he's got a little revenge Hopefully in his mind for how he was treated uh a west of there. So we'll see we'll see You know not to be negative, but most likely to be fired. Chandler will start with you It's the worst one Uh, I think it's gotta be mazula. I think again Expectations that he had going back to this season How they came short some of the situational You know situations that he had that didn't really pan out with with some decisions he made was the substitution pattern You know play calls Uses of timeouts. I think he really Didn't do the best of job in critical moments this year But I do give him a little benefit of the doubt and it's a new system He kind of got thrown into the fire of a crazy situation, but Just know they have the they had one of the second highest odds to win a championship next year I wouldn't be surprised if you don't get off to a hot start They make a move immediately and definitely if they come up short again It's hard to imagine him finishing out this contract. I think he's got a really short leash going forward Okay, so Chandler cheated, but I think that's the right answer I think it is show mazula. I think it's the shortest leash in the league at the moment Uh, I to choose one of the five new coaches. I pick nick nurse and it's mostly because I think there's a lot of I think there's a They're really in flux out there in Philly, and I think there's a lot to be decided There's a lot of pressure on them to win immediately They've went out in the second round over and over and over and if that happens again I could see something have I could see a huge overhaul out there Including getting trading joll and beat including firing the president of basketball operations and their general manager And just just a complete overhaul. But again, that's very unlikely But if I had to choose one of the five and not cheat like Chandler did I'm gonna choose a nick nurse, but I agree with Chandler. I think Joe mazula is on broad time I think sam kasel. He's looking at that big chair, and he knows that's his comehaler high water Do you want to respond to the allegations of cheating Chandler? Oh, he's saying because the producer sent a list of new coaches and my eyes mazula is new coach He hasn't even done a 40 60 look. He's a rookie He's a rookie. It's it's okay. It's an asterisk. Good loop. Oh, good loop. Oh, you're right It's a good loop hole and you're brilliant for using it. I will give you give you that All right, we're gonna take a quickie when we come back. We put a ribbon On this season with the the last of fitter brick Sad It's our final fitter brick of the season we have missed you so much and yes the clincher suit for young yoke itch Just general business business as usual I love it. I love it.  Let's see who else can do this Bring a briefcase next time you classy man You're so classy and attache if you will. Yeah, he looks awesome and that's a historic picture. So good for you. Okay. Well, there you go This is the difference in the generations. You see that nice Was it four years different five years different? Come on What is this? kids I love a good khaki cargo shops Oh sweet. No, that's the andre jordan by the way. There's no generational excuse here. He's the oldest one overalls overalls are for the summer He's getting ready for the summer here. I I get it, but yeah Well, I wear it.  Yes, please. This is from game four. This was some miami stuff right here I think the the wifey might address them this day. So do me like she likes This was this is horrible those colors should never be thrown together.  Yeah, I'm not with it ruins You see like ruins. Oh tape. I don't have mustard pants on. What are we doing? Aaron Gordon simple Aaron Gordon. I mean at least he has a shirt on here. That's that's fun Oh, yeah, we're going to use him in his game shorts Outside still after the game Still out there. I mean he is the man of the people if there ever was one By the way, the first thing I thought about was the shooting that happened in Denver. Was it obviously, right? A little terrifying Yeah, right. I just I just don't like crowds. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Oh neymar a little cross uh cross sport love here He was That was who? Oh, that was Derek white No, that would be weird. It would be really weird if he was just walking around the court in miami I don't you know, it's a giant jacket and some huge jeans. I don't know what to tell you It was not that cold in miami that day. Oh, chris tucker with his all-white ensemble Chris Tucker can do no wrong in my eyes. I think he's not funny. He can get me all white. I'm rolling You can do a little wrong. You can wear whatever he wants. It's all good. I mean he can obviously, but uh Michael Jackson in a Lamborghini one time. He's lived the life D wade with the uh the highways pants um, no It's wrong. No for me. Maybe we're so far gone and then just out Eddie. Maybe we're maybe we're D wait does like he's way cooler than me, but no way. Yeah, we might be wrong. We were we're wrong We are out of time We're gonna enjoy the rest of the week and the weekend and the parade tomorrow and we will be back Monday morning. See all that
