"If I'm on the target. Give me my freedom, all right? You might see me. Pull back to the gate, let us all get back to you. Let me off. Please, 'cause we ain't going to wear 7 hours on the street. Exactly. I mean, think about it. Most people send 8 hours at their job with a half an hour lunch break. All right, so 7 hours of the time makes a full day's work. Now, it's two games worth. So Nate Jones says, again, he's talking about the idea that they have these, like, it's like the national terror threat system where it's like, we got orange zone, red zone, whatever, right? So he says they were stuck on a plane for 7 hours, took hours to get home, barely slept went to the airport early the next day, and then took off in the afternoon for a game they had to play that night. Systems, the same system that he was just allowed to account for, how much rest in 24 hours before game days, right? Now, he doesn't say that it's helping or hurting or anything. He's just not trying to pass judgment on this and it's the easiest stating what is. Right? He's just stating what facts is. Now, you ask Lillard, Lillard was asked, I see this tweet from Danny meringue on Twitter. He seems to be the host of the trouble. A drug places podcast and here we go. Lillard, I'm not playing for Sacramento and discussions on when the organization is looking to rest him, first playing in general, quote, from Damian Lillard, typically it's a battle. It's a back and forth. Usually they let me have my way, but this time it wasn't the case, right? Then we had Steph Curry, saying this earlier this season, he said, after a Golden State, one 19 one 29 to one 20 went over to thunder. He said, I usually campaign to play every game. That's the misconception about load management and how it goes. It's never the players that's usually saying, hey, I want to sit. And I think that we saw something happen in the NBA when honestly, I think it can go back all the way to 2012. When you had Derrick Rose, and Derrick Rose, it was clear by the organization, and he didn't feel good enough to go back out there and play. And it became one of these huge discussion points about he needs to get out there and get to it. And the teams that he's good, he's good and his camp was like, his people, whatever he was saying, he didn't feel good about doing so. And I think from that moment on, we have looked at this as a moment of look, this guy doesn't want to get out there. We watch other sports, and we watch football for example. Baseball? Well, okay, it even in baseball. Baseball, it's a guy's given a day off, but that is not something that is held against him, right? It's not something that is you look, if the Dodgers give Mookie bets a day off because he's in a slump or because he's been dealing with a nagging ankle. Nobody says, he's not tough enough to get out there and do it. Whatever reason, we look at NBA players and say, these guys just aren't tough enough to get out there and do it. So we are either alleging that NBA players are completely different than every other pro athlete, which I don't necessarily buy, or that the way that these teams are looking at it is completely different than any other organization, which makes a lot of other organizations which makes a lot more sense to me. I actually like that example, but I'm going to tell you why it is different. You're correct. We do look at NBA players different. But that's their fault. That's not our fault. We do look at NBA players and be a more soft. And that's because of the product that we see on the court, the fake shove and fights that we see. The way that we see guys shrink, the way that we see guys react on social media now. Guys having burner accounts, I love Kevin Durant, but Kevin Durant has a solved kind of, he's got a little softness in him that if you say something to him, he has a burner account and wants to go back. And that was like 7 years. It wasn't that long ago, but the point is that it still happened. And that's why it makes us look at these players different. You look at baseball, we will watch guys run out and make a dive knowing that there's nothing between him and the ground from splatting his entire body on the ground or running into a wall. The same thing. You know you were going to be on a collision course with another human being for four quarters for the next 60 minutes. It's going to be body or body. You're going to be throwing in the ground, grab hell, twist it, sometimes picked up and slammed onto the ground. So we don't look at that as soft if a player is if the hamstring just has the tight. He tried to give it a go and he's not going to play today. Right, we don't look at it the same way, because we look at the NBA. Number one, these guys this generation has been coddled way, way too much, and of course, that starts with the AAU faction, and just the way that atmosphere is the way they treat kids from 6, 5 years old. College has given guys offer letters at 11, 12, ten years old. Kendall got his first letter when he was ten, bro it's a different sport, but that's because the players have been coddled. The players are soft. The play of the game is not as tough anymore. So we are going to look at you as being solved. When you sit down and it's like, dude, how are you sitting down? You just had two days off. Like, you literally just had two days off. In your out tonight? Like, come on. Would you do the last two days? And then in the game on Thursday night, you played 29 minutes, you guys were up 20, and you sat the fourth. How are you out three days later? That does look soft because they've done that in my pay Martin. Kevin Durant and his burner account got exposed in 2016. It is currently 2023. He's for the record to state ten. And what that long ago? Yes, it was. 7 years ago. Like I just said, ultimately hold on, it got exposed, but doesn't mean he wasn't still doing it. Like, past the 7 year, once I got exposed, did he stop it? Yeah, she tweeted from his own account. So you don't think I'm going to still have this burner account somewhere? If you've done it once, you do it again. Anyway. I think the biggest problem here is the biggest problem here is the perception, ultimately. Because the NBA, it's not up against the Mavericks you're not competing with the bucks for ratings, right? That's not really who it's not about the team in visual teams or even what the national, like the TNT ESPN. It's not even what that rating does against other things on cable. It's competing against Netflix. It's competing against Breaking Bad reruns that people are wanting to watch. It's completing against you streaming The Sopranos. It's competing against the XFL. It's competing against all these other things and ultimately what it has to do and this is one of the biggest failures from all star weekend. You have to showcase your top talent. You have to showcase your top talent and big ways. Monday Night Football feels big. Thursday Night Football feels big. Something I football feels big. There are no games in the NBA that feel big until you get to around this time of the season. And guess what? Three fourths of it is over. To me, that's the biggest issue right here. And part of the reason why games don't feel big is because it seems like, yeah, you just missed this one. That's fine. Miss this one, that's fine. Miss that one. That's fine. We'll get into more of this coming up next more on that. And we'll get into the Atlanta situation in the NBA specifically. Nate McMillan fired again. Martin and Vijay foxford radio.

You know what guys, look, it's raining and it's cold everywhere in the country right now. Snow on the ground flights delayed at everything. Look, I just want to I just would like to point out the temperature drops below 40 in California for a week. Vijay comes in with a full beard. All right. You're not fooling me one day He's got a burberry scarf on like he's late for his baby shower right now. I just want everybody to know. You're not tough, all right? You're not tough. I'm fresh, baby, RES, age, baby. What's up, man? I was going on Martin going on everybody out there. Fox Sports radio land man. Yeah, it's cold out here, man. Cole is funny. I was texting my pops. Yesterday, and he was talking about the web out there. You guys, okay, I say yes, it's cool, but I realized my blood is thinned out. This would not be cold to me 8 or 9 years when I first got to LA for the second time move over here. This wasn't a big cold. The last two days, bro it's been cold. So you had to break out the husky university hoodie that I ain't worn so I had to join about 20 years and broke out the scarf man because the hawk be all on your neck. You got to get the hawk off your neck, man, so I don't want my neck all cold, so I thought, I thought it looked good too, man. Trying to grow the bed and do something different, you know? I'll tell you, you want to talk about soft. I would say, this is a phrase that I had never heard before I moved to Michigan, but it's brick outside. Brett, it is brick outside. And it's going to get down to 36 tonight. That's cold. I don't care where you are. That's 36 is cold. It depends because in Baltimore, in the famous scene in the wire. In which stringer bell, let's talk about 30°. Maybe out there shivering. Yeah. 50°. They got flip flops on their barbecue. Yeah. Nobody gives a bleep about a 40° day. And I'm here to tell you, I do. I care about the 40° day because that's cold to me. Well, look, it's not cold to everybody on my way in. I saw somebody on one of those motorized bicycles that are really popular that people are purchasing and use it for transportation. I use it all the time. Homey had on. It actually yours is better. He had one, but you got one of them deluxe. You got like a bins. You know what I'm saying? You got like a Benz motorized bike. Then some people got the Camry, and I drive a camera, so I ain't knocking the Batmobile. And some people got a key into some people got the Ferrari. Some of them bikes go up to like 5, $10,000 for them bikes, but bro had on shorts, he had a hoodie on, but he had to sleeves rolled up and no hat and he was scooting down Ventura boulevard. So he's not cold. 48 mean nothing to him today. I looked at him. I said, this fool is out of his damn mind. It's brick for me. I'll speak for the electric bike motorized by community. Guy stay inside because you don't notice if you never wrote a motorcycle or electric light, but you ride up one of those painted lines in the middle of the road right now. Slippery. Now I tell you what was also slippery to Portland trailblazers, where stuck on the tarmac for 7 hours. Yeah. And did not travel to their gaming Sacramento as a result, Damian Lillard didn't release probably the best video at the NBA season so far, freestyling from the plane because with 7 hours on a flight, there's nothing else to do. Exactly. But they ended up not playing actually get to Sacramento. And what do you see? Damian Lillard not playing in the game. Load management. Load management is the car in the claim. And today there was a threat that went viral, Nate Jones, at Jones on the NBA. If you're interested in the timeline over there, Elon Musk is Twitter. That's where you can find it, but he essentially asserted that load management essentially he says is a mix between arguments with the players and arguments with the organization and that most of the time players are fighting to go. Players want to play and a lot of times it's the organization shutting guys down because he says every team I'm reading from his tweets now, every team has a medical tracking protocol on players when the alert system that is similar to the national terrorism alert system. If a player is close to that high alert zone, the entire org tries to get that player to sit. It's cultural across the entire league. Now, it's just interesting because when I saw the big story at the trade deadline, Gary Payton the 2nd may or may not have been playing with a tour doll shot. In order to go out and play. And I said it to you off the air. It's like, man, this really feels like much to do about nothing. If Gary Payton, the second said, yo, give me the tour door because I want to play. I mean, we hear that every Thursday, Sunday, and Monday, in the NFL. You don't have to listen long. I saw a clip earlier today of levar arrington plaxico burris and TJ's risotto on this very network talking about how they took the pills to play. They took the shots to play. Right. So in the NBA, apparently, that's a different cultural idea, but conceptually, when we see guys like LeBron or guys like Kevin Durant or whoever, the marquee star, right? The reason why guys are coming and we see them on the bench, I say over since 2020 14, 2015 and so we have looked at that and said, he doesn't want to play. This is an assertion that says something entirely differently. And I think it bears discussion for sure. I don't believe it, though. I'm not buying it. And I tell you why I'm not buying it because whoever's running the business is always going to make sure the narrative goes their way, whether it's pro sports, whether it's accounting, whether it's social marketing, whether it's the United States government of America. Whoever's running a business, they need the narrative to go their way some way somehow. Now, I'm not saying that some of these studies and some of these analytical

"Wow. Any closing thoughts or ways that our audience can again support you or how you see this moving forward or your big warning to the population. Well, what I think is, you know, and I believe that our government, our public health officials, and since they're not doing it, people need to go out and they need to learn about hygiene and ways to use hygiene and sanitation to solve the current healthcare issue. I mean, you can go and look at during the past century, we've had an epidemic or a pandemic every couple of every decade. You know, we had Zika. We had the bird flu. We had para disease. We had all of these. Every single one of those was solved through hygiene and sanitation. Not a single one of them was solved with pharmaceuticals. Wow. I mean, and early. Oh, go ahead. No, early preventative intervention was one of the great cover ups. And now they're going after the people that are trying to produce actual solutions there. It's Nate Jones from clear and the way to spell the company's ex clear, right? Is that fair to say? That's the way to sell it. It clears your nose and the X comes from xylitol. My dad who invented the product, that's what he wanted to call it. That's what it is. Very good. Nate, hope to meet you soon. Thank you so much and keep up the fight. Thank you. Thank you. Email us freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Tyler boyers with us now. Make sure you get your mic. Hello, Charlie. Tyler is abbe holiday going to be the attorney general of Arizona. It's been a big week. It's been a long week, but we are heading in a really wonderful track for Abe hamade. Just got off the phone with him. He is, I'm telling you right now, those who help cure ballots all week long. I'm just tweeting this out right now. Are the heroes right now in Arizona and see a lot of complainers. A lot of people wanting to talk a lot of talk, but what we have been on top of and I know you've been helpful with this and so thank you. We've been pressing care about secure billets here about. Well, why? A may end up winning this by one, two, ten, a hundred votes. And it appears that the cured ballots will have won the election for him. I mean, if that is the case. That's the trajectory. Some people are super cynical. They say Charlie, they're not going to let this happen, but there's something really suspicious yet promising coming out of Apache county. So Apache just did a drop, it was really bad for Chris Mays. It was unexpectedly bad for Christmas. Remarkably, right? Yeah, which is really good for Abe, but look, I mean, this is the reason why we care about. And I know, look, nobody here is denying the fact that there is hanky panky, there's rule bending. There is taking advantage of and voter manipulation. We've been saying this from day one, right? This is the reason why we have eyes on everything. This is why we have had the warrior step up. These are all things that didn't happen in 2020, Charlie. What did not happen in 2020? We were not carrying ballots. It appears, I don't have the final numbers, but it appears that for the first time ever Republicans out cured Democrats. That's crazy. Which tells you what kind of army we have. We have a grassroots army here. That is, is it really indicative of how hard the grassroots worked all throughout this election cycle? Really, the place that we lost, and I've been saying this on Twitter all week long. And I've been putting this out in public. We lost because of moderate. If we lose anything, it's because moderates decide not to show up because they didn't do their job because we didn't get the money that came in from Mitch McConnell and from the national orgs. The grassroots is kicking butt and there's no greater indication of that than how well we've cured balance. I mean, this is on the knife edge of a knife edge. And Abe winning could go to actually solve so many of these problems. I mean, look, look, Abe winning, it puts a massive stop effort a back wall here, backstop. If he pulls it off against a Katie Hobbs governor and I'm not totally sold on that either because look, they're going to have to do a whole recount for Abe's race. So many problems. Which means that that's going to potentially expose all these other problems, right? And so the big thing that we're talking about still and I'm going fast, I'm speaking really fast because of this is we have, we have to remain focused on. We can not let go what Maricopa County did on election day. The issues that happened in Maricopa County on election day, people are some people are calling for a new election, even, but we want to focus on the facts, which is that they impeded, if not completely rejected, thousands of voters from actually voting and casting their vote in America but county. And that in and of itself is that's voter suppression is horrible. And so we have to remain focused on that. We can't have all these other things coming in. That, of course, we're going to come up. They are going to come up, guys, and recount. They're in recount territory if there are things to be exposed, the lawyers are going to be watching every single move as they recount this whole thing again. Maricopa County can not do this. I mean, they couldn't do it the first time. If you think that they can do a second time of getting away from problems and issues, that's not going to happen. Probably going to be like two dozen attorneys that are in the middle of this thing. So there's 1250. This is how crazy this is. There's still 1254 box three ballots left. Yes. And those are all breaking heavily for us. Yes. But look, oddly holding ballots in Apache county. They're oddly holding bouts of different counties that are smaller. They're still like a hundred couple hundred ballots in pinal..

"Very interesting story here. I want to talk about how the Federal Trade Commission is targeting a company for trying to help people. It's remarkable. Nate Jones joins us, CEO of clear, and that is spelled X clear. Welcome to the Charlie Kirk show. Well, hey, thanks for having me. Tell us your story. No, the story is I'm a founder CEO of a clear spell that are, but it's pronounced clear. And we've been selling nasal hygiene products for over two decades since 2000. And most people are familiar with using a saline spray. Ours actually has xylitol in it. It's a sugar molecule that is actually been shown to block bacterial and viral adhesion of a variety of bacteria and viruses. My father's a physician. He started using it in a nasal spray to wash out the airways of young children. In his practice, that we're having recurrent upper respiratory issues. And so we've been doing this for 20 years. And when this pandemic came along, we had a bunch of doctors that were using it for people with COVID and they called us and said, hey, you guys need to look into this. And so we started doing research and trying to find out what was going on there. And what we found in some of these studies and there was a study that came out of university of Tennessee where they showed that xylitol actually was able to block the SARS CoV-2 virus from adhering to the tissue. And so we started we went to the FDA and said, hey, we would like to do a human trial on this and see if it works. And they said, well, no, you're not a drug. You can't do it. We've tried many times. We tried to go into barda. We've tried getting this information into the CDC. And it's just been ignored. These CDC, we don't even think the CDC opened in red. The long list of research studies that are out there. And so we've been trying to get that done. I mean, even on the CDC's own web page, they say that the best way to treat a respiratory coronavirus infection is with nasal irrigation, which is a basic hygiene process. And so we start trying to share this and there's a couple of other, I mean, there have been a couple of studies now using salt water and using iodine and using iota carrageenan and using nitric oxide and using xylitol that do work. And all of the companies that have provided product for this, you know, some of our competitors, you have Neil men. You have had a couple of these other companies. They have all received warning letters, telling them not to share these studies. And we received one, and I was like, why am I, I guess I should watch my language. You have millions of people that are out here getting sick, having their lives ruined, dying, et cetera. You won't share the studies. The CDC has advocated. I think we all understand that the CDC and the Surgeon General have advocated their responsibility to discuss prevention with the public. But we went out there and started sharing these. We received a warning letter from the FTC, you know, saying, hey, don't share these studies. You can do them, but don't share them. And so now the Federal Trade Commission is suing you. Is that right? Yes, that is correct. What is their main complaint? What are they saying in the thrust of it? There's not enough science to back up using our product, nasal hygiene products to have any effect with the current pandemic..

With us now is senator Josh hawley, one of the few fighters in the U.S. Senate, and I am so happy and thrilled that senator hawley's influence will be increasing because JD Vance is going to the U.S. Senate senator Holly, how you doing? I'm doing great, Charlie. Thanks for having me. I know you and I are both on the ground with JD Vance. I wish we would make Blake masters as well, but sending JD is a big deal. Thank you. And thank you for all your help with that. Let me just kind of start with the leadership election or selection I should say yesterday. Tell us what you can without breaching any confidentiality of what happened behind closed doors with what looks like now senator McConnell is going to be continued leader of the Senate minority. Well, listen, I'll just tell you what my position has been, which is that I voted for new leadership. I said before the election, Charlie, that I wasn't going to support to Mitch McConnell for leader. I don't think that he has led the party in a good direction. I think the results of this last election make that clear. And I think we need a different direction clear. I mean, if you look at this last election and you say, oh, everything's fine. It's just fine, you know? We don't need to make any changes. I just say, if you're a Republican, you know, you're delusional. Particularly if you're one of these D.C. Republicans that didn't give the candidates anything to run on, that didn't actually put forward a coherent agenda. The basically just set off Biden sucks. He's no good vote for us. You know what we learned out of this election is that independent voters, they actually want you to come out and fight for them. They actually want you to come be on their side. It's not enough to say it's our turn. You have to go show them that you're willing to fight for them. And I don't think Senate leadership has done that. So Charlie, I voted no and you know, I urged for there to be new leadership, and I asked both of the guys who were running, which was Mitch McConnell and Rick Scott from Florida. I asked both of them, what are you going to do to put forward an agenda that will actually deliver for the American people, not just talk, not just do press appearances, but what are you going to do that will actually deliver? And you know, I will see. We'll see what the next two years will.
The Bill Simmons Podcast
"nate jones" Discussed on The Bill Simmons Podcast
"Much into that idea. Because the version of James Harden we've seen since what three games out of the all star break is not a James Harden that I want to give 200 plus $1 million to. You were adamant when we did the 17 part trade deadline pod. You were like, I love getting James freaking heart and you were right. You were like, I love this guy. My only hesitation was like, are we sure we're getting that James Harden? And the more I watch them, I just don't think we're getting that James Harden. That guy might be gone. I had Nate Jones on my pod last week and we talked about Hardin and he brought up the comparison to Chris Paul. Chris Paul has last year in Houston. Everybody's talking like he's done with the hamstring issues that he had, then he changes everything that he does with the way he recovers and recovers. He invests more money into his body and then he comes back and he's really had no issue since. I don't think we can rule that out with James Harden, either. His peak abilities, if he just changes what he does, you can get more out of heart and moving forward. The question is, is he willing to do that? With Chris Paul, there was never a question about his partying habits and his nights out. With James Harden, there is that question. Lifestyle questions. So with that in mind, for Philadelphia, if you're Daryl morey, you did everything it took to get James Harden. But after everything you've seen, assuming this continues into the first round and the playoffs, you have to be thinking about the possibilities of either resigning them and then eventually looking to move him or just outright sign and trade. This off season, because if you're getting this hard for the next 5 years or $200 million, you're never going to win a championship with Joel embiid playing at an MVP level. Or what if he just leaves? And what do you do then? And can you attach Harris and try to create cap space for Zach lavine? Here's why I mentioned this. I don't mean to cause a panic. I don't want Jason Goff our guy who hosts the full go in the ringer podcast that we're Chicago pod. Although I do want to go on his podcast show the Syrian. I don't like when guys are about to become a free agent. And they're on a team that is obviously something's wrong. And there's obviously something wrong with the Chicago team. I don't know what it is, but we watched this happen in Boston in 2019, right? The team got unhappier, zero went along, had some bad luck, some injuries, and all of a sudden it became conceivable Kyrie might leave. And it didn't seem conceivable and then it started to become conceivable. Levine hasn't said anything. I'm a tea leaves guy, and I'm watching this, and I'm like, what happens if Milwaukee sweeps them in round one? Is that being like, cool? I'm back, baby. Or is he look around? He'd be the hottest girl at the dance. You know, he would immediately become the top free agent. So, and that's the thing with heart. And he would also become one of the top free agents. So I just think we have to watch that. All right, we mentioned Philly, Philly does have a 153 million on the books next year. They have the Tobias Harris thing too, which would be the fallback plan if they can't figure out the hard thing. Just quickly going through the playing teams. Brooklyn's got the Kyrie decision. Bruce brown's a free agent. I don't even want to speculate in Brooklyn. Who knows? Minnesota, I think they run it back with whatever they have. I don't really see, you know, they're not the lecture tax Russell's gonna be an expiring next year. They probably see where that's going. Cleveland's got Sexton as a restricted free agent, but he's coming off a major injury. I'm sure they'll figure that out. Loves an expiring. That's a Horford. Combo. Clippers are stuck with who they have, 159 million. I don't really see a path for them other than bringing back heart and steam. Atlanta, we mentioned as a three for one trade, no question. They're like the ceiling basement theme of all the playing teams. I don't know what to make of how that goes. New Orleans has the Zion thing. Charlotte has bridges as a restricted and they're at a 100 million. So they might have room for at least some free agent. Hayward's 30 and 31. They need a big. Yeah, they need a big, but they might have the room to actually get the big. And then San Antonio has that 82 million pop back retire. And could at least be a stocking horse in the James Harden thing or the Zach lavine thing if those guys decide they're unhappy. Any storyline I'd missed out of all those? I don't know. I think with the spurs, they're in a position now where they're just missing the guy. They're not necessarily a star destination. But I'm intrigued by a team just assigning screw it. We're going to trade all of this for player X who becomes available to soft season because the spurs like Dijon Murray averaging 24 points ten assists 8 rebounds last 40 games while playing all defense. He was outstanding for the spurs. He's made a leap. You have Kelvin Johnson, Devin vassal, Jacob Bertel. They have a lot of talent on that team. They're just missing the guy next to the Dijon Murray so I'm thinking about teams like that that could cash in.

"But that's the thing, right? That's the thing. Is that now coinciding with the lack of turnovers has been all of these missed shots. And so what's happened is it's effectively been the same thing because he's missing shots so badly that it's turning into transition opportunities for the opponent just like it would be a live ball turnover. So it's like somehow you've got to get the Russell Westbrook that can finish at least a decent clip so that the opponent is taking the ball out of the basket while still not turning the ball over. And right now we're getting low turnover Russell Westbrook, but he's missing everything. And he's missing it so badly that it might as well just be a turnover. So on one hand, it's like, oh, right. Russ is fixing things. We're not seeing turnovers. And yet you're not getting the result. You're not getting the positive out of it. Because he can't throw the ball in the ocean right now. Well, what do you think about this point? I think it was Nate Jones on Twitter who I followed. I'm sure you do too that has mentioned that I think Russ is declining athleticism has an age very well because he hasn't developed any kind of counter moves or other he hasn't added things to his arsenal as far as finishing the paint because for peak Russell Westbrook or just Russell Westbrook in general, he is still very, very, very athletic at the point guard position. Oh, sure. At this point his career. But what made rust so special is that he was such a force physically that he would finish through guys and straight up over dudes. Right now, that's not happening. And maybe it's like a burst, maybe it's a lack of vertical on his jumps. I don't know what it is, but you can just tell he's not quite the same physical specimen as a point guard attacking the basket anymore. Of course, you're still going to get those athletic businesses off the wrong foot, or really quick bursts, but it's not quite the same. And I think he hasn't really adapted or adjusted his game. Quite yet, or hasn't caught up to him yet. So in his mind, he still thinks he can do that. But it's very apparent, especially recently that that's not been the case. And so while he's shot chart, I mean, outside of today's game, but prior to today's game, it's ideally what you want. Yes, he's going to take a couple of mid range shots, maybe a couple wide open threes. But for the most part, he's trying to get to the rim and shoot there. He's just not finishing very well. And that's been a problem. So listen to this..

"Their offensive numbers are kind of below average, especially given that was the whole point of Kemba Walker and Evan fournier was to juice up this offense that just didn't have any ball handling reliability around Julius Randle until they would bring Derrick Rosen off the bench. And it's just not there are games when it's clicking like Kemba went off for like 20 in the first quarter against Charlotte, pull up threes galore. They're making a ton of pull up threes. 48 slowed down. But Randall is still playing a lot. And look, I have lived atop Julius Randle hill for 5 years now when there was nobody there with me, but Nate Jones and me on Julius Randle hill foraging for berries to stay alive. I love Julius Randle. He's still playing a lot of these minutes as if he does not have any surrounding talent on offense. His posts and isolations are down, but only by a tiny bit in terms of volume, they're down in efficiency by a whole lot. And I just feel like I kind of I know he can't roll to the rim as easily because Mitchell Robinson's there, although they would seem to have a nice high low potential when teams blitz fournier and Kemba. But I know the spacing isn't great for that. I just felt like I would see a little more variety in him lean into more of a role as even a ball handler with those guys screening for him and pick and roll, or the other way around. And I just see too much of the Julius Randle who bricked and bricked and bricked and breakthrough the Knicks out of the playoffs against the hawks. That's interesting because my Knicks starters offensive angst is actually more directed I would say towards RJ Barrett than Julius Randle where same same thing. You'd expect he's never played with this kind of shooting I probably ever in his life when you look at the Knicks teams he played on that duke team when he was there with super cramped. And you'd think that that would translate into better offensive efficiency and so far it just hasn't his numbers are pretty similar or down from last season in terms in that regard. It's one of those you know when you see it things. You know it when a grouping of players or even a full team just feels like, all right, we know how to play with each other. Everything's gonna flow, like decisions are made quickly. We have a consistent style and identity. This lineup does not have it. There are three minute periods where it looks great and four minute periods where it's stuck in mud. I don't worry about Barrett. I know he's in a shooting slump. I just, I think his three point shooting last year was real. He's young. He's gonna have ups and downs. When I watch him play and if I closed my eyes and ignored the result of the shot, I think he still looks fine to me. And I think the shooting will be, okay, you know who I just love watching. We'll be talking top and I do love watching the windmill dunks are ridiculous. Emmanuel quickly, I wish I were as confident about literally anything I do in my daily routine. If I were if I were as confident parallel parking in New York is a manual quickly as just shooting any shot that presents itself, I would be like squeezing into spots that are meant for a little mini hybrid cars. I'd be like, and now I pass, I'm a bad parallel Parker. I'm a below average parallel Parker. My wife would say bad. I pass by spots where she's like, there's plenty of space there. You're such a baby. I don't want to be stared at failing to parallel park by all the bison Emmanuel quickly would be like, oh, that's spaces for a motorcycle. Watch this. That guy is launching step back threes. He gets the crowd so amped up at MSG. He's so confident I love watching that kid play. See, I had this experience the other day, which is do you know anything to me is when the road is empty and the person waits for you to pull back to reverse into the spot instead of just going. Look, I don't need that kind of pressure here, okay? Although I feel like the backup camera has dramatically improved my self efficiency. When I met a restaurant outside and someone is trying to parallel park near the restaurant and they're failing, I'm like, don't look don't look at it. Don't look don't they're already, if they're already having a bad time. Don't stare. And then you stare and you're like, still you're on the curb. It's such a bad feeling. But George Costanza is the Emmanuel quickly of parallel parking, right? His line when he says there are things going something like, I'm doing things in here. You have no idea they're even going on. Like it's sitting that he's got some intangible part. Like Elaine can't even see some of the things he's like Nikola Jokić passing. Like you can't even see what's going on in his mind when he's parallel parking. Somehow this is supposed to be about the Knicks. I'm not worried about the Knicks. I think the next will be fine. I'm just watching, I mean, there are top ten offense. That's great. I'm watching the defense and if they can if they can rebound a little better if the three point shooting normalizes, by the way, for the second year in a row, their first lowest opponent shooting percentage at the rim, which was one of the things we wondered, could they duplicate that neurons? Well, it was barely played this year. They're just a really good rim defense team. Yeah, I mean, that maybe some Tim's Elk and me because that's not one that tends to fluctuate as much as opponent Judy on jump shot..

"Bringing you can abuse with tech visionaries who share in the critical of what it takes to change and industry and filled and lead a team. That has your back. I'm your host noel lab heart and today how nate jones built the tool to help you spend more time closed and less time qualifying all this more on code story. Nate jones was born and raised in iowa. In in fact he plans to spend the rest of his days there because he loves it. He playfully calls it the silicon prairie though. He admits that most people don't call it that he studied at iowa state university majoring in geographic information systems and urban planning which is basically mapping on steroids. He learned how to map topography. Three dimensional using tools like arctic outside of tech loves to hike kayak golf and generally be outdoors in college who was very interested in connected to the real estate industry as urban planning works closely with realtors. He figured out that lead follow up was a huge pain point for realtors which peaked his interest. And let him to build some tech to solve the problem. This is the creation story of. Structurally structurally is a conversational. Ai company We follow up qualified. Nurture leads of all sorts. Basically so your business. Most people here listening probably work at a business or have business and they most likely have leads And they have to convert those leads into sales to grow revenue. So that's where our product kind of fits in texts and emails Leads follows up with them for a long period of time and then when they respond actually has two way conversation with them. To ideally qualify. Him ask They're interested in buying answer their questions and set an appointment or demo Or disqualify him or set them for longer term. Nurture if necessary. So let's all done using Conversational ad that we built. Structurally is my first job. I only job never I started in straight out of college. i went to the We got our start there And we basically ended up You know urban planning Community regional. Planning what i studied works pretty closely with like realtors. Real estate agents Obviously you have to have real estate developers agents to build a city some point So i was super interested in real estate just generally in my time at school And i spent a lot of time like talking to realtors and this problem of lead follow up was like number one priority on their list of like hate the hate doing it so that really piqued my interest. I said okay. Maybe i'm not super into like real estate. Or i don't want to be a real or anything but like i like the tech site like solving this problem cited think so let's go solve it with technology So we actually saw some They were then. Phd graduate students in statistics and mathematics. That i stayed Which has a phenomenal graduate program in stats and math Said can you help us with this. Basically a problem which is math and stats and just happened that they were specifically studying computational linguistics and that's perfect for things like natural language processing and conversationally is a whole And we said hey. Let's try. let's try and solve this lead. Follow up qualification. Problem with technology rather than like human call center which has been done for twenty years That's really where we you started with the some of that core team of basically a engineers myself and my co founder andrew. That's kind of the core. Founding team with our engineers. Tell me about the mvp. So that first product you bill. What sort of tools did you use to to bring it to life and how long it took you to bring it to life. The very very first one was built by me. I decided i was gonna use a chat bot builder so this was like twenty fifteen twenty. Sixteen ish Dow was big like thing Chat bots were on like the real top of their Their height curve. I'll say at that time So that was part of like what was kind of pushing us. I think in this direction So you know. I'm not a software engineer by any means. So i was like can i prove this idea with an mvp and validate that someone finds it useful without spending a bunch of resources to build it. Which is i. Guess how you define an mvp basically so I ended up building it with A few chap builders. I tried i think i ended up going like one called Back in the day and another company called smooch which is now actually acquired by ten desks. they help with omni channel messing essentially so real easy out of the box. Tulio integration in mess web web messenger to live jet integration that they bill natively like stitched those together and demoted to realtors like in-office. They liked it. They saw like a super rudimentary conversation. And then we actually took to two conferences in the real estate space that are like the biggest in the space one's called inman news and the other is called. Obviously national association realtors nar southern once no product other than the. Mvp took it out there like the start up row like super cheap booth and got a ton of feedback on that really basic demo. Basically mvp from realtors live in action and that was really how we got things started. Real estate happened to be really great. Kind of niche starting point. Because there's lots of leads in that market lots of sales people who hate following up with leads In that's kinda early where we got our initial funding so in that. Mvp the you probably had to make certain decisions and trade offs. You mentioned different products different vendors to us how to stitch together essentially to get it working to prove it and you know there's there's obviously thoughts around what features you do first. What's important in the core. And then even technical death either some of that what you were describing to so tell me about some of those decisions and trade offs that you had to make an how you coped with those decisions. I think like really early on one of the things that was just absolutely necessary with our product that we felt like what we didn't actually realize was so important but looking back at it was like necessary for the real. Mvp wasn't mobile app. Just out of the box. Realtors are on the go sales salespeople as whole or on the go they need to be able to see our conversations happening in real time and jump into that which is now core feature of our product but for the longest time. We didn't have the mobile app for the android but we needed one. So i think like early on had a kind of look back at what. I was prioritizing product wise. I would have a mobile apps first. we ended up going with React native which is amazing because we can just kind of spin it up pretty.

And nearly everybody was willing to do that. And so i. I want to say first of all.

Not a ac- album sixty nine from focus on the family. Best kept secrets and here. We have the illustrator of the cover art to accept the award. Mr gary locke thank you. Atc seneca awards this gary. The illustrator for best kept secrets that was little title became up with when we had our little zoom pow With about five people from focus on the family and me here in the ozarks open secret was another title best kept secret unmasking unmasked behind the mask. We liked best kept secret. More is about maury. Maury keeps up this facade that he's a normal friendly guy but behind the scenes. He's a little crafty character underneath so a mask became our visual item. To tell the story this hit me just right. 'cause i have somebody close to me costa me for decades. My life always knew something was a little bit off with this person but there was always a plausible excuse for what just happened so we all just kind of wrote it off the bad luck or something weird without getting into details. One day the mask slipped some of us. Got to see this person for who this person really is. Yada yada yada. I got to come up with expressions for this illustration. Moore's expression was not easy to hit. But we finally got it and then i started researching some movie posters. Tv posters looking for some lighting special effects. Kind of things. That would tell the story a little better of a guy who hides but not just in shadows he can hide in the light to but he's always obscured a little bit little flashes. Those things out of focus little light in your eyes. Just kinda dizzying effect. Really and next thing i know. Atc seneca awards calls me says you one. How cool is that. This is gary signing off. Stay free my friends. Congratulations gary locke and focus on the family. All right next category best script which went to unsinkable from adventures in odyssey written by kathy buchanan.

"Don't get that /capspace to let another you. Came from us are welcome back and you know who has been in the news quite a bit lately. That is the dallas mavericks. And we're gonna talk about their off-season but we should begin here. Just with the news that nico harrison and jason kidd are going to be a new and coach. It's unclear exactly what harrison's role will be whether he is going to have ultimate thirty or not on the one hand. There's news that he has been pursued for other jobs. Well the the way the way that trump's trying you described it as that he'll be the mentor. Run basketball operations. So as we know from the mavericks running basketball operations and being the final decider are not always the same thing and not always the same thing for every decision that will and the pod with Mcmahon and wind horses and Bontemps that came out last night as a pretty grown. They talked about this pretty extensively and of whether harrison is a and michael finley are going to be pretty close to one another in terms of authority Whether mark cuban howard. Volunteers still going to be. I mean the consensus seems to be going to be pretty involved. And that's why you know there wasn't so incoming from another team experience but it also seemed like harrison was in demand. Everyone seems to love him. He supposedly was a finalist. According to mcmahon for the spurs of when they ended up hiring bryant right and just in terms of what his background is right. They are a shoe executive vice president of basketball operations in north america so pretty high up at nike and most of the players. Obviously who worked there no him. He has relationship with luca who apparently Getting luca with jordan brand was part of something that he did however he also is involved in town evaluation. Obviously if you're giving out shoe contracts you would like to know who the players are going to be going forward now. That's not salary cap stuff. That's how much analytics are involved. They're not making trades with other teams. But he seems like really relationship builder and then with him in concert with kid. It seems like those guys are kind of a package deal. And whether they wanted jason kidd and then what an executive who wanted jason kidd or what. The story was it seems like to me. The point of all this is just to rebrand the organization so they a salukis happier there but be so that they are more palatable to freeze its. It's an interesting gamble for the mavericks. I look the way. Nate jones described may described harrison's role. Which was that. He decided which players nike pursues. And which ones they elevate and those are two important of evaluation factors now as you said. They're not tethered to the same thing. you know. you can recruit a guy if he's under contract with another basketball team if he's a shoe free or he's close to being true free gender Tampering i don't think they're tampering rules in that specific context And it's it's hard because we which hard to know for us. Who harrison chose to advocate for elevation. And who he didn't all those decisions are challenging. It's easier for us to evaluations. And as head coach because jason kidd has been a head coach before and it has not been to pronounce success. You and i- memorably picked jason kidd and we're discussing at length why we had him as the worst coach in the nba. Both of us separately and agreeing at the exact moment that the milwaukee bucks fired him and you can see part of the ripple effects in the limitations of jason kidd in exposition with his replacement. Where mike budenholzer yes. They changed talented. Improved it somewhat but it was a lot of similar players and they went from being fighting for a potential playoff spot. To being one of the best regular season teams in the almost immediately and brooke. Lopez's out to be sure but a lot of the other things and got more outta janas winds to mvp's and very quick succession and a part of why. I'm very dubious of kid. Is the coach here. Is that one of the things that i thought he did. Incredibly poorly with the bucks was figuring out the best approach for a team with an unusual skillset. Like you know jaanus was a little bit different and you know they had worked with middleton. The situation for the bucks was has been weird for a while and while luca i think is more plug and play. Because he's the heliocentric ball handler kristaps. Porzingis is somebody that you need to work with and defensively because he does certain things very well does certain things incredibly poorly obviously a big source of angst with the box was the box playing too aggressive of a pick and roll defence style. And just giving up a ton of corner threes. A ton of shots at the rim. And obviously you saw what. The team could be defensively. Once mike came in and yeah again. Brook lopez's over thon maker is a bit of an upgrade at the time but also worth noting that brook lopez came there on like a three million dollar contract to start for them. We didn't think he was going to be really that good. And obviously who knows what has gotten a lot of them and you know that's something to remember too in the mike poodles are story as we try to kill him that. Hey they wouldn't be number one seat if it wasn't for him to begin with or Number three seed this year. But obviously kinda the same sorta team so kids. Coaching record is not amazing now earlier at his bucks tenure. They did become the number two defense in his first year. In two thousand fifteen. They had a ton of shooting walk that year and things. The of course degraded after that and it is year in brooklyn as well. I think he you know despite the thanh taylor hit me. Get an extra time out incident which was preposterous. They still found a way after disappointing earnings with that group. They found a way to play pretty well going into two thousand fourteen and actually win a game seven on the road and give a decent series to miami then before that team broke up and kid obviously forces way out. And that's another thing too that jason kidd palace intrigue always seems to follow him including even with the the maps where he committed to return there as a player and then ended up going to new york in twenty twelve..

"6 22 700 WLW you create sports talk. Presented by Kelsey Chevrolet. Terminate your loan early, surly, regardless of maker model with the loan in termination least program at Kelsey Chevrolet throughout 50 and 2 75 at the Lawrence Burg exit might boost Octus was on the Red Side Stove league show last Wednesday night with Tommy Thrall in Gym Day, He said something That, um Think will be music to your ears. This was talked about at length in terms of sports talk extra innings last year, it was the subject of great angst and debate from fans throughout the season. It was about the way the Reds approached their advance. They were the way they went about things in the batter's box. And the frustration that came with that they hit 2 12 is a team the inability it seems to shorten the swing with two strikes to hit it the other way against the shift to get the run home from third with less than two outs. There was a lot in play last year. That added up to frustration of an offense that simply didn't seem to have another of a plan or the ability to execute that plan. And then Mike Moose, Takis said this on Wednesday night going into spring training them that's gonna be a focus of ours is being able to manufacture those runs and in other ways instead of just relying on the home run You know, Obviously, the game's changing on home runs are huge. But in order to be a championship team, you've got to find ways to score runs other ways. Then you know, with the pitching step that we have, if we can get a lead going into those later innings and give those guys a chance to shut the door. I mean, I like our chances. Mike Moustakas last week. Thoughts. Is that not something you wanted to hear? It's our focus this offseason. Our focus. He didn't say my focus. It's our focus that that means it's something that has been discussed amongst the team. Not Mike Moustakas. A my focus is I gotta make it. Our focus is to find ways to manufacture runs other than the home run, which is, Biggie said. But in order to be a championship team, we need to find other ways to score Besides the long ball. You know, it's such a mixed bag when you look back at it, I mean, it's not like they led the league in strikeouts Last year, there's 30 teams in Major League Baseball. They were 12th and strikeouts. The average major league team last year struck out 534 times. The Reds struck out 500. They struck out 5 34. The average team struck out 5 20. So what did inordinate amount of strikeouts I think you you'd probably win a bet on this. They finished Tied for the National League lead in times walked They walked a lot. 239 times the average major league team walked 203 times, so they did do their share of walking. They worked the plate appearance. They saw the second most pitches of any team in baseball last year. Next to the Cleveland Indians. I think some of this is clearly There's different levels of this. There's a bigger picture of all this part of this, you could say is great American ballpark in the enticement that comes in this ballpark, and it's so inviting. Let me just lift the ball in this ballpark, and it's gonna be a home run. There's also the reality of what covert did last year to baseball. It was a springs training that that started get up and running and then ended early. And then hitters didn't hit for two plus months. And then they came back and they got two weeks to prepare, and then they went at it. It's a lot easier if you're a pitcher during the pandemic of 2.5 months off, you know, Nate Jones told us he built a mountain, his Barnet was throwing into a net. Lot easier to do that for a picture that it is for a hitter to find someone to throw him pictures or a batting cage, the throwing fastballs and breaking balls, curveballs, changeups, you name it so clearly, if if you look there's a lot of guys who seasons you look and say, what the heck was that Christian yell. It's what's up with your season a year ago and others But then there's the kind of the micro of all this of stepping into the batter's box and what the plan was what the approach was. Don't know if you would second this, but I remember so many times seeing the reds take a strike and thinking, What do you want? What were you looking for? What were you expecting? In that count? At that point, I looked it up today. They looked at the sixth highest percentage of strikes of any team in baseball last year. The inability to create action. The mentality of the long ball and it's I hesitate to. I don't pin this on Jesse Winker. I can use him as an example. And yet if you're going to criticize anybody for their offense last year, the last guy would be Jesse Winker. Because Jesse Winker was their best offensive player last year, and it wasn't even close. But man, the visual I have Is Jesse Winker swinging so hard? He would fall down. He would drop to a knee. And I remember Eric Davis has always talked about, um, approached the plate and and balance and balance being such a key. And and it made me think of Jesse Winker and watching him completely and totally off balance by a swing that would bring him out of his shoes and and drop him, sometimes to any sometimes the seat of his pants. The inability to spray the ball the other way in the approach, All right, I've got two strikes. Let me shorten. Let me let me shorten my swing. Choke up a little. Let me maybe spray it the other way. And yet, if you remember one of the one of the quotes of last season that drove everybody batty, referring to the fact the Reds were hitting into bad luck. Well, part of that. To a certain extent is true. If you look blast season, a.
