A highlight from Wim Wenders - Anselm & Perfect Days
"Wait. Are you gaming? On a Chromebook? Yeah. It's got a high -res 120Hz display, plus this killer RGB keyboard. And I can access thousands of games anytime, anywhere. Stop playing. What? Get out of here. Huh? Yeah. I want you to stop playing and get out of here so I can game on that Chromebook. Got it. Discover the Ultimate Cloud Gaming Machine. A new kind of Chromebook. Hi, everyone, and thank you for tuning in to the 506th episode of the Hollywood Reporters Awards Chatter Podcast. I'm the host, Scott Feinberg, and my guest today is one of the most significant filmmakers of the last 50 years. His credits include classic narrative films like 1984's Paris, Texas, which won the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d 'Or and brought him a Best Director BAFTA Award. And 1987's Wings of Desire, for which he won Cannes' Best Director Prize, as well as documentary films such as 1999's Buena Vista Social Club, 2011's Pina, and 2014's Salt of the Earth, each of which brought him Best Documentary Feature Oscar nominations. And now, at the age of 78, he is out with two new films, one a narrative, Neon's Perfect Days, the story of a Tokyo toilet cleaner, for which Koji Yakusho won the Best Actor Prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival, and the other a 3D doc, Janice Films' Anselm, about the art of the German painter and sculptor, Anselm Kiefer. The recipient of the Berlin International Film Festival's Honorary Golden Bear in 2015 and the Telluride Film Festival's Silver Medallion Award this year, he has been described by The Guardian as one of the key figures, along with Fassbender, Herzog, and Schlondorf, of the new German cinema movement that reinvigorated West German film in the 70s, and gave the country of Marlene Dietrich, UFA, and F .W. Murnau a bona fide cinematic movement to rival the Nouvelle Vague, by The New York Times as a film visionary and a great hero of art film audiences everywhere, and by Turner Classic Movies as one of his generation's most appreciated independent filmmakers, VIM Vendors. Over the course of our conversation at the Toronto offices of Elevation Pictures, the Canadian production and distribution company, the 78 -year -old and I discussed his circuitous path to filmmaking and the challenges of forging a career as a filmmaker in Germany back when he was starting out, what led him to America for a number of years and then back to Germany, why he moves between narrative and documentary films as often as any filmmaker except perhaps Martin Scorsese, and why he is particularly committed to making 3D docs, plus much more. And so without further ado, let's go to that conversation. Mr. Vendors, thank you so much for doing this. Great to have you on the podcast. And to begin with, just for anyone who may be living under Iraq and doesn't know, can you share where you were born and raised and what your folks did for a living? So I'm Wim Vendors and I was born in Germany right after the Second World War in August 1945, in a fateful week for the Japanese people. Grew up in post -war Germany, wanted to become a painter. First studied philosophy and medicine but then really drew up the courage to go fully for painting and cocky as I was, I went to Paris thinking that's where you become a painter and instead of becoming a painter in Paris, I became a filmmaker because I discovered the Cinematheque and that you can see the entire movies of the entire world and every screening was for 25 cents, so I saw about a thousand movies in the course of a year and after that it was decided. It wasn't painting, it was movies. Right. Now just to go backwards for a moment though, you've spoken about sort of this sense of growing up in Germany after the war, there were a lot of secrets, a lot of darkness, unanswered questions and you've talked about your parents having, I guess, photos that really kind of maybe opened your mind to the world beyond where you were from. Can you talk about that? Well, when I was a little boy and I started school, the growing up world was very, very busy, reconstructing the country and looking forward to the future and it was all positive and beautiful and you realize even as a boy there's something wrong. Why isn't the past ever a subject and why does nobody look over their shoulders? And eventually you realize all that building and all that effort to rebuild the future was in order to, as fast as possible, forget about the past. And when I saw pictures from the past, also family pictures, there were all these uniforms and, I mean, my father was a doctor in the Second World War and as soon as he finished his studies, they threw him to the front and he was a surgeon and for four years he didn't do anything but put people back together.

"pina" Discussed on The Crossover NBA Show with Chris Mannix
"Flipping it to any other way would have been too spicy for me personally. I mean, you know, having really played a lot together. Their net rating in the playoffs, do you wanna guess what it was in 416 minutes together? I have no clue. What was it? Minus 0.2. Wow. I mean, it is unfortunate that they ran into the Nuggets. Also, I keep seeing this and I've seen you be one of these people peddle this take. The Wolves are the team that challenged the Nuggets to most. It's true. It's 100% fact. Do the Suns get no credit for winning two games? It's fact. I don't care. Fact. Do the Suns get no credit for winning the most games against Denver? You gotta watch the games though. Watch the games. Okay, but I totally get it. Let me just say this. Jaden McDaniels did not play in that series. Nasri did not play in that series. Jaden McDaniels, they had no one. They had Nikhil Alexander-Walker guarding Jamal Murray. No, fair. Fair. And all those games were very competitive, or most of them in the fourth quarter. One of them going into overtime. So the Minnesota Timberwolves were... I'm just saying people really gloss over the fact that the Suns took two games off of them, and also Devin Booker was insane. Oh, he cooked. He was on another planet. That was one of the most unbelievable playoff series I've seen from someone. Now, let me tell you the worst take out of the playoffs of all time, from last year's playoffs, is that the Los Angeles Lakers were competitive in a four-game sweep. That's the worst take that everyone has. So I just want to put that on record before we move on. There was a no point in those four games where I was like, the Lakers got this one. No, absolutely not. So yeah, I have KD, Book, you know, not overthinking it. Booker is the best two-guard in the NBA. Who do you have right now in Booker versus Tatum? Booker versus Tatum? I personally like... I like Tatum. I think he brings more to the game in terms of rebounding and defense than Devin Booker does. Does Jason Tatum have a son? They never mention this on the broadcast. Do you know if he has a kid? The amount that you text and talk to me about young Deuce is honestly... It pales in comparison to the amount that he's mentioned on national TV. Cute child. He's a cute child. What do you want me to say? He's like the first NBA player to ever have a child, apparently. He's just a great father. I think our top two are going to be the same here. I hope so. Number two, I have Stefan Draymond. Yes. Okay, thank God. Who do you think you were talking to? I didn't know. You could have been like Kawhi and Norm Powell. Stefan Draymond, man. I'm so glad Draymond resigned. I love that Mike Dunleavy took over and was like, enough of this two-timeline stuff. I'm trading for Chris Paul. I'm resigning Draymond. Let's go get it. I think that they sound... They're saying all the things this year that make me feel like they're going to have a big season. And I think that if they stay healthy, I think we're going to get some equilibrium back in the Western Conference, which was kind of wonky last year. The Clippers, Warriors, and Lakers all had just a lot of upheaval, injuries, etc. I think we're going to be in for a great top half of the West race this year, and I might be ready to bet Warriors for a championship. Championship? Wow. I really want to see the Warriors and Nuggets play off series of both teams at full strength. Yeah, that would be amazing. I have these two here because... You know what's really interesting? First of all, it should be obvious. We shouldn't even need to explain why these two are where they are on this list. But I will say, if you were to go... I'm doing this off the top of my head right now as I just look at my list. But if I were to take all 20 players that we have, where would Draymond be individually on this list, do you think? In the bottom five, right? I think he's better than Sabonis. Oh, I don't even have Sabonis. For me, it's like Drew, Harden... I guess... I don't know. I think Jaron Jackson Jr. is better, honestly. It's just the alchemy of the two of them together is incredible. The point I have been trying to make with some people over the years is, at the end of the day, the offense is more important. But what Steph does for their offense is what Draymond does for their defense. He makes it go. I still think he's probably... I still think the last guy who's had success guarding Yo Kitchen in a playoff series... But he did a really good job, I will say, for sure. I think Yo Kitchen averaged like 30, 12, and 9 or something crazy in that series. But Monte Morris is his second best teammate. Yes. No, I mean Draymond is a transcendent player on that end. Total short-circuiter of offensive game plans. That all goes without saying, the reason that I have them here is just... their pick and roll is... Watching the Lakers try to deal with it was really fascinating. I thought the Lakers did a really good job throughout stretches of that series. I don't think that they ever were super confident in how they were guarding it. Obviously, they had to flip things around. They used Gary Payton II as the screener. They have to make their adjustments, but that series was really competitive in a lot of ways. It was like one Lonnie Walker fourth quarter. That's the difference. I don't think they solved anything. I think they're still super dangerous, the Warriors are. If you look at their bench real... we don't have to make this a Warriors pod, but... No, I wanted to ask you about it. I was looking over rosters and stuff to get reacquainted with the NBA. I forgot they have Dario Saric. I was like, oh my god. They can play a 10-man rotation with an all bench mob that's really dynamic. Chris Paul, Gary Payton, Saric. Saric, and then you have Moody and Kuminga. Not a lot of shooting there, not a lot of size, but that's a really interesting group that I think can play and do a lot of damage. Being able to just run Chris Paul pick and rolls as a bench thing for them this year is going to be huge. I know this whole... Chris Paul apparently still is not really bought into. I shouldn't say bought into, but... He's coming off the bench. He has to. Just look at the quintet of Looney, Wiggins, Green, Klay, Steph. Sorry, that's the starting five. The best starting five last year, too. They just didn't play together a ton. I'm very fascinated to see Paul with them and see how many games he closes and how they're closing lineups, etc. I'm so glad we have Stefan Draymond for at least another three years, it seems like. Let's talk about our number one duo, which is obviously Jokic and Murray. Derek White and Rob Williams. The best trade package for Damian Lillard. Are the Nuggets still the title favorites for you? It's a great question. I would slot them in as the favorite, but I would say that they are eminently beatable. Last year I didn't feel that they were beatable. I just thought that they were clearly the best. When they're healthy, they're the best. Bruce Brown, really important player. Great time. On both ends of the floor. A lot of talk about how they'll slide either Christian Brown or they've re-signed Reggie Jackson to this deal. That was crazy. That was nuts. And they have a lot of other young guys in the pipeline. Peyton Lawson is a guy people think can be pretty good, but he's not a Jeff Green replacement. Jeff Green also hit huge shots for them in that playoff run. He was big. He was really versatile. I just think at the end of the day, fundamentally, why we have this duo as number one is because it almost doesn't matter what is around them. When they're both on the court, they are a wrecking ball and they can beat you in so many different ways. Randomly, it's impossible to defend them. They know each other better than any two teammates in the NBA besides Steph and Draymond. They work better, arguably better, offensively than those two. And you don't even need great spacing. There's so much stuff you don't need because of how brilliant Jokic is and all the ways he can kill you. And then Murray's shot creation in the playoffs was just like otherworldly. He won them game three of the finals. Every NBA player I've spoken to this summer, I'm working on a couple stories for a preview issue. At the end of every interview, I've said, I can ask you a question, I'm sure. How would you stop Jokic? What's the way to stop Jokic? No one's had an answer. No NBA player I've talked to has had an answer. I'm like, still figuring it out. Gotta find a way. Otherwise, he's just that good. Some guys are just that good. Some teams are just that good. I don't know how you're going to do it. It's going to have to be degradation of the supporting cast. And that's where they are. I mean, who's their backup center? Is it going to be Zeke Naji? In the playoffs, it's Aaron Gordon. This is the next five on their depth chart right now. It's Reggie Jackson, Christian Brown, Justin Holiday, Peyton Watson, Zeke Naji. I don't know, man. Well, what I will say about them is... But the reason that they are still, you could argue, title favorites is because of how good Jokic and Murray are. Absolutely. And I don't think they're chomping at the bit to break up the core pieces that help them win a title. But, you know, people, you know, it's September, right? At the trade deadline, we'll see what happens if they need to make a move. You're saying MPJ's out of there? I'm not saying that, but I'm saying, you know, it's just like, you don't know. You're saying MPJ, get ready to learn Chinese, buddy. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. No, you know, you just don't know this far out. But, yeah, the way that these two and in particular Jokic elevates everyone around them, like, they're just they're super special. And it is like, I just think that the gap, the gap is not they're going to go 16-4 in the playoffs again, because the Suns are, the Suns are like really good. What do you make of the Suns? I think they're really good. I think you have these two absolute transcendent offensive talents. Just get buckets against any coverage you want, and then you add Brad Beal to that equation. And that should be one of the best offenses in the history of the NBA. I know there's no point guard, but like you've got veteran savvy, you've got guys who should be looking to sacrifice. You have Ayton who we'll see what happens there. Eric Gordon is the fifth guy in closing playoff lineups, like, really love that. I generally like, I generally like their, the supporting, like, isn't Bull Bull in Phoenix? He is, yeah. Just like, just wild talent upgrade versus what was there last year when they lost in six to the Nuggets. I just think that they've improved dramatically. You have a season of failure together, which will tighten... Well, you have a couple weeks of failure together. I don't know that you have a... You have a season, you have a few games. Right, but it was better than, one of the reasons why I thought everyone who picked the Suns was like, what are you guys talking about, was because, it's like you don't just come into the playoffs and win four playoff series. Like, that doesn't, that's not how it works. So, I think their failure will spur them, we'll see what Frank Vogel can do to the defense, can he get through to Ayton. That'll be really fascinating subplot. I like them a lot. Can I give you my hot take? Please. I, I'm not talking about winning the title, so don't get me wrong. But, team that can finish top four in the regular season, and then we'll see what happens. Minnesota Timberwolves. Okay, I thought you were about to say the Suns, and I was like, this is the worst hot take ever. No. You're high on the Wolves, why? I think the Timberwolves are like, they could be so, so good. Like, so good. You have the Ant leap, right? The Ant who just got knocked out of FIBA by Dennis Schurter and Daniel Tice. That's because Austin Reeves can't guard anybody. That's because Austin Reeves can't guard anybody. No, Ant is going to be, I mean, he'll contend for the All-NBA team this year. He's that good. You have, I mentioned... They just have, they just have the most unserious front court, maybe ever. Unlikable? Fine, sure. Unserious? Yes. I, so, can we, can we, maybe we can use this to jump into the honorable mentions conversation to wrap things up. Okay, okay. So I had, I actually had Ant and Kat as my number 10 for a while, and I swapped them out, kind of at the last second. Because, like, when you talk about complimentary people, like stars and talents, like, that pick and roll right there just has so much, it's like oozes potential, and we didn't really get to see it last season. But did you not feel like they kind of made more sense last year when Kat wasn't in the lineup? No, I don't, no, I don't think that at all. I feel like that was when Edwards started playing better. By necessity, perhaps, but what's better for Edwards is not necessarily better for the basketball team, as we just saw with Team USA, when he's taken, playing home run derby in his basketball. No, I think that they're, like, I love their supporting cast, love so many of those pieces, love their depth. I just think that they were hurt last year. I thought D'Angelo Russell was just a terrible piece there. You have, like, a really good starting five. If you look at the lineup data, with the foursome of Ant, Kat, Gobert, and Jaden McDaniels, when those four played, like, their defensive rating was amazing last season. And they actually played more minutes than I think you'd suspect. And I love Chris Finch. I think he's one of the best coaches, period, in the league. And they were really just marred by injuries and dysfunction last year in a lot of ways that were hard to overcome. I don't necessarily think that it was more impressive for them to win a playoff game than the Denver Nuggets winning the NBA title, as Kat has said on a podcast forum. Very serious thing to say. I do think that just, like, a lot of people thought last year was the year that they would be like, oh, they're going to be amazing in the regular season. I feel like that's this year. I think they're going to be a really good regular season team. I'll give you credit for this because two years ago, you were kind of like, I think the Wolves can be really good. And you were early on the McDaniels hype. He's going to be amazing. Yeah. So, I just look at him as like, I don't think they're going to be better than the Suns. I don't think they're going to be better than the Clippers. I don't think they're going to be better than the Warriors. I don't think they're going to be better than the Nuggets. And I don't think they'll be better than the Lakers. Lakers? No. Stop. You are just so blind. Pause the program. So blinded by disgust and hatred for the Lakers. I mean, you have LeBron and AD as one of your top ten duos. I say that to throw everybody off the scent. That's what I do. That's my strategy. Can I just run through my honorable mentions? Yes, please, please, please. Okay, so I had Ant and Kat. This is in no particular order. D'Aaron Fox and Sabonis. Demarja Rose and Zach Lavigne. Really? These are honorable mentions, dog. Like, what do you want from me? But now you're just listing duos if you throw them in there. I have nine. I have nine. I have nine. Get out of here. You're just picking a duo from every team at this point. Dude, they're two multiple-time All-Stars. Like, what do you want from me? Okay, whatever. That one's invalid. You'll love the next two, then. Trae Young and DeJounte Murray. Unserious. Franz Wagner and Paolo Bancaro. That one's a good one. That one's a good one. Okay. That's a good one? They can hoop. They can hoop. I would take Franz and Paolo next year over Trae and DeJounte. I mean, that's fair. Sure. Paolo is a mate. Like, truly, I mean, they're both just, yeah, they're great. So I have Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley was my tandem. Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle. Come on. Jalen Brunson and blank. Okay, so I'm saving my best for last. Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart. I'm saving my best for last. The people who are still listening are probably screaming at us to say. The next one, second to last. Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson. Okay, I was going to ask specifically, what did you think about the Pelicans for this exercise? Because last year, when I did this with Andrew Sharpe, he put them number one, which was actually very inspired and I respected. Over under 50 games, 50 more games for Zion Williamson in a Pelicans uniform. Like, what do you mean? This season? And for the rest of his career, will Zion Williamson play over under 50 games for the New Orleans Pelicans? Over. Okay. You know, you're unfazed by the Zion trade hype this summer? I think people forget how good he is. If I was a GM and I traded Zion, I would... I mean, they were in the one seed last year when they were healthy. When he was healthy. The whole team. He's entirely unstoppable. Like, just stop. Agreed, yeah. I just can't get a read on the dynamics there. I really can't. He's who everyone thinks Giannis is. No, I'm absolutely kidding, please. To Shelby, don't break that one out. Okay, so this is the last honorable mention I have and this is the one where I think, like, I honestly think there were... No, just disrespect to the listeners, but I think that there were listeners who, when we were like, oh, you know, exhaling about who we had number one, that this is the duo that a lot of people thought we were going to say. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Oh, get out of here. Oh, my God. I didn't even consider them for a second. For what? I mean... There's a lot of crazies out there, my friend. I looked this up. I have it here, but their net rating together was, like, so unspectacular. And listen, that roster needed work. They missed the play in. They missed the play in. And, like, what did they do this summer to upgrade? I mean, I do love Grant Williams. Grant Williams, baby. Hell yeah. I think that's actually, like, an inspired move, but they had a 4.5 net rating with Luka and Kyrie together. Which is solid, but it's not, like... That's actually better than Bam and Jimmy. Unbeatable duo, but... It's better than Bam and Jimmy. Just go throw it out there. It's OK. Don't get upset. I'm not. I mean, listen, the one team missed the play and the other one made the final, so I'm not sweating it. Yeah, the fact that they've hitched Luka to Kyrie is... Like, if I pitched that to Cuban in the Shark Tank, he'd be like... I'm like, Mark, for $40 million a year, I'm asking you to pair this point guard who was suspended for an anti-Semitic controversy and has blown up every team he's ever played for... Can I get you to sign off on that? Like, he's out immediately. You know what I mean? You know, maybe Mr. Wonderful offers me some kind of debt loan situation on that offer, but Cuban's out. Cuban's out if I pitch that to him in the Tank. It's tough. It's tough, and at the same time... I'm not saying I'm talking myself into this duo, because I'm definitely not. I'll never talk myself into this duo. I am talking myself into lean-cut Luka, like, just destroying the NBA this season. I'll talk myself into that. And it felt honestly like... He's so good that I wanted to put him on the list. It was like... Last year, I think two years ago, we maybe did that. He's just so good. He's so good. Watch Slovenia. The fact that Slovenia is hanging with Canada, and then when they lose, people are like, I'm like, okay, yeah, that makes sense. He's no Goran Dragic when it comes to international hoops, but... No, I saw that actually Goran Dragic might be a point guard option for the Miami Heat this season. Did you see that report? I'm not even kidding. That was an actual thing that was published in a newspaper. He's going to be the new Udonis in the newspaper. It was in the newspaper. It was in the local Miami newspapers. Where do you have the Mavs finishing in the West? It's a good question. I haven't thought about it. I would think that they make the plan, at least. I would think. I would hope. I'm pro Rockets right now. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm intrigued by the Rockets, bro. Let's go. I wish they did get Brook Lopez, too. I'm so Dylan Brooks-pilled. If Brook Lopez was on the team, I would seriously have Dylan Brooks. Yeah, home court in the first round. I love Shungun more. He's one of my favorite players in the whole league. Oh my god. This is why I have to sound like I'm a Shungun hater, because the hype is out of control. But he is very good. Defensively, it's going to be interesting now that there's a little bit of expectation on them to win. No, let me stop you right there. There is no expectation on them to win. Let me put it this way. Teams are going to take them a little bit more seriously now that they have Van Vliet and Brooks. And I'm interested to see how guys like Jalen Green, Jabari, Smith, and Shungun respond to that. But they're starting five on paper. Those five guys? Kind of sick. Kind of fun. Awesome. If Jabari makes a leap, like a summer league-style leap, it could be fun. Trade Jalen Green. See what you can get. Okay. Well, I'm not getting back into all of that. I don't want you to get in trouble. I don't want you to issue any public apologies here. Let Jalen Green cook. On that note, Mike, I appreciate you joining, even though, once again, your list left a lot to be desired. I'm the father of this exercise. I cannot be wrong. Andy, it's like we just hear the Oppenheimer meme now. Mike, everyone can continue to read your work over at The Ringer. You're doing a great job.

It's going to happen. What's the package? I need to see Shelby's reaction. Well, they obviously can't trade Jovic now, so it's going to have to be Hero, Lowry, two first-round picks. Sorry, Cronin.

"Okay. But they'll pop up on my list soon enough. But my number eight duo, Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland. Oh my God. Wow. I'm not giving up on Mitchell and Garland. Here's the thing. Cleveland was fantastic during the regular season last year. Yep. And we had so many questions about their defense. When was defense ever their problem? Like, even in that Knicks series, that was a slugfest. Scoring was a bigger issue for them than the defensive side of the ball. I think that they need, you know, they tried to address the three spot, get some shooting this summer. You said this and I agree, they still need, I think, a better two-way player in that spot. They still need a defender to take wing guys unless Evan Mobley grows into that player. I do think eventually they're going to have to move off Jared Allen, which I think could still yield them the kind of player that they're looking for. But, I mean, Cleveland, did they end up finishing last year with the number one net rating in the NBA? Like, Cleveland was fantastic during the regular season and they just ran into a particularly bad matchup in the playoffs of getting pounded on the offensive glass, in particular Mitchell Robinson turning into Hakeem Olajuwon. But, I don't know, I still have faith in this duo and I think that they were better in their first season than I thought they would be. So why did you go those two as opposed to, like, Mobley? Because I actually had Mobley as an honorable mention with Mitchell. I think Mobley will be that guy. I don't think he's that guy yet. I thought that they looked their best in the playoffs, in fact, when Garland was really aggressive. I think that if he'd looked for his shot a little bit more, hunted Brunson a little bit more, that could have been a little bit better series for them. I think Mobley is eventually going to be that guy, maybe even their best player, but for now I still think it's Mitchell and Garland that kind of make them go. Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, without Mobley, those two don't really work on the defensive end. He was so important. For sure, that's a great point. I don't disagree with that. So, yeah, that's low-key spicy. I mean, that's a very good duo. Just a little masala, you know, try to keep it interesting. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I like it though. They had the second best net rating in the NBA last year behind Boston. Best defense. And they were closer, I mean, they were way closer to number one than Philly was to them at number three. I mean, Philly was, the gap between three and six was the same as the gap between one and two. So, Cleveland was really good last year when those guys were healthy. They were. All right, this is where we're going to probably start to argue, my number seven. It's Jimmy, it's Jimmy, and it's Bam. This is a joke. I mean, this is an absolute joke. Seven? Dude, the six duos that I have in front of them are all lights out. They're very, very good. This is embarrassing. Even for you, this is embarrassing. This is absolute Boston media mafia. This is a joke. I'm not going to address them until I get to where they are on my list, because that's when they actually deserve to be discussed, because where you have them right now is just embarrassing. I have nothing but positive things to say about them. I don't know why you're being so negative. For me, amazing. Bam, amazing. For obvious reasons, both two-way players had a really productive playoff run. Plus one, when they're both on the court, net rating in the postseason, played more minutes than any other duo. That's okay. Plus one is not anything to write home about. Plus 4.2 in the regular season. That's just like, relatively speaking, okay. Okay, no, no. I'm not even going to get to it. Again, I'm not going to get to it until I need to get to it, because this is a joke. This is an absolute joke. My number seven duo is Giannis and Drew. Okay. Yeah, I mean, we touched on them. That's Giannis doing a lot of the heavy lifting there, certainly. I love Drew Holliday, but I agree. The offense is too inconsistent for them to be higher. Not to mention, again, they've now one and two as the number one seed against Jimmy and Bam in the playoffs. If you put Bam next to a Brooke Lopez... I'm not going to get into it. We'll get into it. We'll get into it. My number seven is Giannis and Drew. Let's move on to number six. As I go down here, I want you to tell me which of these duos is just clear cut. And you can make an argument. I'm not saying that Bam and Jimmy have to be number seven. I just think it's a respectable place to put them, that's all. It's not, but okay. Number six is Anthony Davis and LeBron James. Hey, we're in our first Yahtzee, or bingo. I got them as number six, too. I knew this would totally hijack the entire pod. Of course, yes. Explain to me why Jimmy and Bam are better than LeBron and Anthony Davis. First of all, I think Bam is still the best defender in the NBA. And I think it's absurd that you guys had your little clique vote Marcus Smart. Who is you guys? Yes, defensive player of the year two years ago. The people who voted Marcus Smart, defensive player of the year two years ago. That's you guys. So over 50 people who do not communicate and vote independently. That's a lie. It's you, FanDuel, and the Boston Media Mafia, including to get Marcus Smart defensive player of the year. I mean, first of all, LeBron and AD, as good as they are, needed multiple roster overhauls to get to where they were last year in the playoffs because they couldn't carry a mismatch roster. You are sitting here. You are chief. I don't believe in the Lakers. You thought their deadline was trash and you picked them to get swept in the first round. So I don't know why you're now like, oh, LeBron and AD, so good. They've been so inconsistent together, frankly. AD, again, this whole I don't want to play center thing. I just don't think they've maximized each other's talent since that first year together. They're both in and out of the lineup. I have my doubts about both of them being healthy for an entire playoff run. And even though on paper the duo is so tantalizing, the results have not been there. So I don't know why they should be any higher. They've had less playoff success to me than most of the guys ahead of them. And on a pure talent standpoint, LeBron's in year 21. He's still obviously incredible. But if I'm starting a team to win this season, I would rather have all the duos I have ahead of them if I'm trying to win a title is what it comes down to for me. Really? I would say AD was the best defender. You just called Bam the best defender in the NBA. Debatable point. Bam's amazing. Love Bam. AD had the best defensive run in the playoffs. Would you care to quibble? He was like lights out. His play protection was incredible. As you put it, they played the Memphis hustle in round one. They didn't have an actual big man to throw at him. He was fantastic in the Warriors series. There's no question about it. But if Klay Thompson makes two more threes, he was fantastic in the playoffs. There's no question about it. No, I recall Bam going up against a 100% healthy Giannis Antetokounmpo for an entire playoff series. 100% healthy Chris Middleton for an entire playoff series. Stop it. Just stop it. That's the thing. AD has the potential to be the most destructive defensive force in the NBA, but I don't think he's at that level consistently enough. Okay. I mean, that's fair. That's fair. I still think when he's healthy and to your point, he's not always aggressive, but neither is Bam offensively. If I'm stacking these two guys up next to each other as just basketball players, the ceiling for AD is higher than it is for Bam. I agree, and there was a few years we thought AD was maybe going to win multiple MVPs, but he just hasn't been that guy. He has not been that guy. And he's doing himself a disservice by this power forward stuff. I get it. It's not easy, but it's part of the problem, too. And then healthy LeBron. We're assuming all these guys are healthy when we're making these lists, right? For the most part, yes. So healthy LeBron versus healthy Jimmy is... I'm not saying it's obvious that LeBron's better, because actually I don't necessarily think that on some days at the stages of their career. I think Jimmy was a top five regular season player last year. I think his regular season is actually underrated because of how well he played in the playoffs last year. A lot of the advanced metrics had Jimmy as a top three guy in the regular season last year when he played. When he played. That is true. I'd still bet on his health more than LeBron. Sure. I mean, given the fact that LeBron's about to turn 40. It's a fair statement. I would say, despite how poorly LeBron played in the playoffs, particularly with his outside shooting, and ADs had the jumper in the bubble, then Lord knows what happened to his outside shot. I think these duos are actually really comparable in the fact that they need shooting beside each other. Some of these other lists that I have here, you don't need specific tools around the two players that we're talking about to construct a key lineup. I just think, to be fair, Jimmy can hit threes and doesn't really choose to take a ton, and Bam is not a three-point shooter at all. That's not the be-all end-all of this conversation, but I do think that that matters a little bit. The variability of the three-point line was such a big factor in Miami's playoff run, too. But it's funny, because we both do have them at six. We can quibble about who we have above and below them, but I do think that's instructive of the fact that we both feel like they've left some stuff on the table over the course of their partnership, I think is the ultimate takeaway from them. Absolutely. Is it made for five? Yeah, sure. You want to give me your five? It's Kawhi and PG. I mean, I get it. Yeah, yeah. Kawhi's the best. You know, Jokic is actually the best. You just keep letting Kawhi, you just keep going back to him, no matter how poorly he treats you. I don't care. I really don't care. I watched the first two games of... Clipper's Sons. The first two games, he is by far, it's not even like, oh my god, it's a real toe-to-toe battle here with him and KD. He's like top 15 player of all time. And it's like, no, actually Kawhi's better. Kawhi's just manhandling this entire team, doing whatever he wants for two straight games. The first game in particular, it was just a masterclass. And he didn't have PG. I need the SpongeBob a few moments later, it's him in a suit, watching the playoffs like it always is. I love them, but can I get one full playoff run from them? Just one before I put them in my top five? You can do whatever you want. I would probably have them two if it wasn't for all the injuries. Me dropping them to five is my give back. Are you ready for my number five? I am. I have Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum. It's my fifth best duo in the NBA. So unlike you, baby, I'm not going to throw a temper tantrum right here. I'm not going to say you're dead wrong. Let me throw something at you in all seriousness. Yes. If the Heaton Celtics agreed to trade Jimmy and Bam for Jason and Jaylen, I think it... No, I would not want that. No, no, no. I'm not saying you'd want it. I'm saying if you gave Jimmy and Bam Tatum and Brown's supporting cast, I think they are winning a title easily. Easily? Easily. If you put Bam next to Al Horford, if you gave Jimmy the three-point shooting the Celtics had last year instead of what Vincent and Strews... If you gave Jimmy the three... Okay, see, this is like... Yeah. This is a conversation. Dude, he couldn't even crash the Cavs rotation. I'm just saying, I think that they've done more with less talent over the last four years than Brown and Tatum. And I don't think you can argue with that. I really don't. I am not gonna say that... Well, first of all, I will say that people like to have their cake and eat it too when they're analyzing the Celtics and they're saying this and that about the flaws that Marcus Smart has. But, oh, wait, when they trademark a smart, how are they gonna... They just lost their leader, this guy who's just their toughness. But at the same time, mentally weak team. How do you fall down 0-3, third job, two home games in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Miami Heat? I hear a lot of people talking about... That's fair. I didn't know that Derek White was going to the Hall of Fame all of a sudden. He's a really good player. You've always loved Derek White, so you've always been high on Derek. I like all these players, but a lot of them are role players. I get it, but I think White, Smart, Horford, who am I forgetting? White, Smart, Horford, Rob Williams, all these guys I think would be the third best player on the Heat and would have been in that playoff series. Which Heat guy are you taking over them after Jimmy and Bam? Whatever alien being went into Caleb Martin's body, give me that. No, no disrespect to him, he's awesome. Of course, and yeah, you listen. But that's another thing. This is a thing that's bothered me about the Heat conversation. People are like, oh, Caleb Martin did XYZ. Is he supposed to have missed those shots? I don't get it. The guy played great. You have to do something about it. This idea that everyone's going to play to their averages all the time is also, I think to me, a silly way to think about it. The three-point shooting is a different conversation, but those Caleb Martin games aren't fake. Just because they're atypical doesn't mean they're a fluke necessarily either. I just think Jimmy and Bam have done a lot of heavy lifting with a roster that frankly has not been great. Gabe Vincent was obviously very good. Caleb Martin's obviously very good. All these guys were on the scrap heap of the NBA. Struce, Kevin Love. Kevin Love wasn't even in the Cavs rotation anymore. All these guys were on the fringe of the NBA. They all played well. That's just a narrative. What they actually did on the court was they played really good basketball well enough to go to the NBA Finals. I think a lot of that has to do with Jimmy and Bam, frankly, and how easy they make it. Of course. Those are the two best players. I just think if you swapped them, I think that we're looking at Jimmy and Bam way differently. Even if you gave Jimmy and Bam Brooke and Middleton, that would be a huge upgrade over what else they have in their rotation. So, they don't get Spoe anymore? I mean, you guys were telling me for years, Brad Stevens was like, you know. No, answer the question. Brad Stevens is not even a coach anymore. Do they get Spoe? Do they get to bring Spoe and the versatile defensive genius and the zone? Do they get to have that too? A coach who will let Bam play point guard? All these things. Do they get that? Yes. Maybe it should have been Jimmy and Spoe as the duo, but I think that they've done so much more with so much less than all these teams. Okay. Let's reframe. Pure talent. Jalen Brown, Jimmy Butler, Jason Tatum, Bam Adebayo. How are you raking those four players? I genuinely believe this is not takery. I would take Bam over Jalen Brown just because of the defensive versatility. People like Bam, unaggressive offensively, blah blah blah. 20 point per game score last year averaged... Compare what he averaged in the finals versus what Jason Tatum averaged in his first finals, by the way. Just throw that out there. Real quick, you do understand the way that the Denver Nuggets defended Bam Adebayo was please shoot the basketball. Was that not the way that the Golden State Warriors, a better defensive team, were handling Jason Tatum? I get it, but people were like, they want Bam to take those shots. He did, and he hit them a lot. And they were successful when he was shooting. So, the question here comes down to Jimmy versus Tatum. And I see the argument. I just don't know how you separate them. I really don't. I really don't. I mean, after this year... I do, but okay. I think one's better than the other, but I don't think it's, again, I don't think this is like super obvious. This is not... That's why I separated them by one spot. This isn't Jokic versus B. This is why I separated them by one spot. And listen, if Brown and Tatum got it done, I would have put them over Bam and Jimmy. No question. I put them over the two years ago when we did this. But, dude, Bam and Jimmy, people can talk about the Giannis injury, blah, blah, blah. Jimmy snatched the soul out of that Bucks team, them making it to the finals as an 8 seed. They've made the finals as a 5th seed and an 8 seed. They're 2-1 against the Bucks now, 2-1 against the Celtics now. The proof's in the results. That's what it is to me. Most playoff wins since 2019. Think about all the guys that teamed up in 2019, LeBron and AD, Kawhi and PG. Eventually we get Harden and Embiid, all these playoff duos. Jimmy and Bam, more finals appearances, more playoff wins. It's never been an easy road for them. Listen, we did this pod last year before that Celtics Heat series. We both did not really think the Heat had a chance. Them pushing it to 7 was unexpected, frankly, and it still came down to that Butler shot. I just think they have overachieved and, therefore, I have them over Jalen and Jason. Number one seed, home, game seven. Don't lead for a second in their underachieving or overachieving. Okay, no, it's fine. It's no big deal. Celtics' whole greatest team ever in the second half once everyone got, once Rob Williams, blah, blah, blah. Come on, man. Well, I thought they had this flawless supporting cast, which is it? I don't understand. I'm confused. They do. That's why they were so good last year when they made the finals. Even though they only made it because Middleton got hurt. But anyway, did you give your number four already? My four is Tatum and Jalen. Highest paid player in the NBA. Wants to make Boston the black Wall Street. Can we talk about the Brown contract for a second? I don't really want to, but what would you like to say? What did people think was going to happen? What is the freaking alternative? Like, okay, Jalen Brown, we're going to trade you. Everyone get a grip. You know how the NBA works. People are like, you're going to give Jalen Brown the highest contract in NBA history until the next guy signs two months from now. Just stop. Here's what I'll say. The idea of breaking them up when they are also one game seven away from having the most flat wins or most finals appearances in the last few years, just give me a break. Yes, the team is very good. They lost to the freaking Warriors in the finals. As much as I think Bam and Jimmy genuinely deserve to be ahead of them on this list, the discourse around Brown and Tatum is absurd. And I say that as someone who has no respect for the Boston media mafia. No, you don't. But the way people talk about them is just, it's silly. It's actually silly. Well, that was big of you coming from someone who has spent months texting me that Jalen Brown was out of here and he had played his last game at the Celtics when the season ended. He's not finishing this contract in Boston. That's a different question. The real question is if him and Tatum go to the Lakers together or if they stagger it a bit. That's ridiculous. Isn't Jalen Brown in the big three? Does he even still play in the NBA? He's the best player in the history of the big three. So before we move on, so you're saying that you think Jimmy's better than Tatum. Is that what you think right now at this point in time? The guy who finished fourth in the MVP vote is not as good as Jimmy Butler? Just wondering. I'm just going to get you on the record. Yes, I'm going to give me Jimmy Butler over Tatum. When Jimmy Butler hit the time out on Al Horford, I know you were just dead on the inside. I know that your life was flashing before. No, I was dead on the inside when Tatum sprained his ankle. It was the only reason the Miami Heat won that basketball game. That's it. Win one of your first two home games then. Just win one of those. Just win one of those. How about that? That's cool. No, it's fine. When the Celtics won Game 6 on one of the luckiest shots in NBA history, they should be thankful that there's even a Game 7 for Tatum to spray on his ankle. How many hours of sleep have you lost thinking about when Jokic was sitting on the bench in foul trouble and the fully formed Miami Heat at home, biggest quarter of the season, just couldn't get it done and were just cooked by Aaron Gordon and Bruce Brown and Contavious Caldwell-Pope? I'm just wondering how many hours of sleep you've lost this summer thinking about that situation. Zero, because the Nuggets were my finals pick and I did a story on every one of those players that you mentioned in the last year. Okay, fine. That's fair. Thrilled, yeah. Thrilled for my personal agenda. So, your number four is Jimmy and Bam. Hey guys, Mario Lopez here to talk to you about some seriously cool rides that are taking technology to a whole new level.

"It's Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. It's disrespectful. Continue. They don't play! Jerry West went on Paul George's podcast and said to his face, you don't play enough basketball with Kawhi Leonard. And I just, it's been like years since they've played in a playoff series together. It's been years since they've finished a playoff series together. I just, like, who, if you told me, asked me, who's gonna play more minutes together this year? Hardener and Beader, Kawhi and PG? I don't know who I would pick. Okay, just, okay, stop. Just settle down, please. Please settle down. We're not, they played a thousand minutes together last year, like, just, you know, it's not like they're hurt 100% of the time. Like, let's, it's just like, two-time finals MVP, one of the best players ever, winning players ever. Kawhi does a great job in the playoffs when he's playing against a team on its last legs. Wow. No, no, no, I love playoff Kawhi. No, I just want to see it. I just want to see it, Mike. Like, it's, it's too rare for me. I just, I have zero faith in them staying healthy at this point. They're only getting older. They're only getting older. What are they, 32 and 31? Like, let's, come on, let's just, everyone calm down. In my opinion, calm down. It's okay. It'll be fine. They'll be okay. Kawhi, Kawhi is out here hoping on, like, Joe Biden's knees. That's the, I, like, I need to see a video of him walking up onto the team's private plane. I need to, I need the video of it before I'm moving them any higher. I, listen, they are awesome in theory, and it's very exciting when they do play together. It just doesn't happen enough for me. So, that's my number nine, and I'm sticking with it. Okay. Um, I'm not going to tell you where I had Kawhi and PGD at. We'll, we'll get there eventually. Yeah, we'll get there. So, you can tell me your number eight duo, then. So, my number eight is, it was a little, it's a little tricky. Maybe you can settle this. I have one player down. His name is Giannis Ntetokounmpo. And then, I don't, I have Drew Holliday as his co-pilot, I guess, just because Middleton's whole health situation is very tenuous, and Drew plays a ton. They played a ton together last year. They, Drew rarely gets hurt. I know during the championship run, it was mostly, like, the Middleton, Giannis pick and roll. So, it was, this was tough for me to kind of figure out, but I have Holliday as the natural other part of this twosome, and, yeah, I don't know, Giannis is great, and Drew's awesome. They totally flamed out in the first round together. Drew Holliday, you know, great, great defender, brutalized in, like, a comfortable fashion. That was mean. Like, I was, as I was watching it, I was like, this is a little mean. Like, I don't know that I, I'd say that it's a big Jimmy Butler fan. I was like, oh, this is a little mean. But when I, when I watched Drew, honestly, like, I've always thought, you know, the thing about Drew is always, like, he's the most underrated player in the league. That's, like, what people have said about him forever. And I have a lot of respect for him. I do think the defense is legit, of course. I think, I've always thought, or have thought, for the last couple years at least, that his offense is overrated. It's too inconsistent. Yeah, but I just think his, like, decision-making is, like, wacky sometimes. I mean, he's had games where he's like, it's like, dude, why are you taking 28 shots? Because you're making seven no matter what. You can take seven or 28 and you're making seven. Yeah, he's super physical. I just think, like, sometimes if he were to tone it down and take a step back a little bit, he'd be more efficient and more effective given who else is on his team. But, yeah, so they're, they're eight here. I had to, I had to put Giannis in. I mean, one of the best players of his generation. Of course. Even though I know deep down you're a Giannis hater. It's true. So the, they pop up later on my list and I also picked Drew. I think Middleton was tough last year, man. I mean, the heat, I know Jimmy was kind of just, who knows what, what got into him in that series. And as you said, he was going after Drew. It was like, he was succeeding against Drew in a way that, like, he had to, to win that series. But he was targeting Middleton in a way that it was like, you are not doing that two years ago and they were making it to the finals. I don't know if it's just, he never fully recovered from that knee injury that allowed Boston to make the finals at one year. But it just, hopefully a full off season. I don't know what it takes, but they're in a weird spot, man. The Bucks are in a weird spot. So I agree with you. I do think Drew, was there any part of you that thought Brook Lopez? No.

"And you want to talk about duos. This isn't just like the two best players on the team. It's they are doing everything together. And that's the driving force of their success. The pistol actions they run. I mean, the speed at which they play within the half court. It's a ton of fun to watch. It really is. They were awesome last year. So 9 or 10 is Fox and Sabonis, even though I think... I'm hoping that the Sabonis we saw in the first round against the Warriors is the kind of playoff series that motivates him to add more to his game, instead of being the kind of playoff series that's kind of a sign of things to come in his career. They were an honorable mention for me. Really nothing bad to say about them. I just thought that 10 other... It's just really tough. People actually go through and look at the duos in the NBA right now. It's just insane talent. So they're great. Really benefited from health last year, which is one reason to... If you were down on the Kings this upcoming season, that would be why they had a lot of health luck. Maybe they don't get that this year. We'll see. But yeah, best offense ever. And Fox was just such an animal in the playoffs. I was just excited to see them play in meaningful basketball games. Fox's career was kind of going the other way. There's people who thought they should have kept Halliburton over him. And yeah, it was just awesome to see them... Fox was... I mean, if he doesn't get hurt in that series, maybe they do end up winning it. Man, that was a fun series. Alright, so that's my number 10 duo. Let me hear your number 9. It's in Biedenharden. I'm sorry. Come on, dude. You don't want to be... Dude, I can't have the league... You know how I feel about all this stuff, because we text frequently. I can't have the league MVP and a former... How many MVPs has Sarden won? He won one player's MVP and one media MVP. Remember when the players won it on their own awards for two years? That was terrible. Together, they had a really good regular season. Harden... We talked about complementing each other. Harden assisted in B, 244 times last year, which was 90 more than any other duo. So their pick and roll makes a lot of sense. Really hard to stop, unless you're the Boston Celtics. And yeah, they're a really good, talented tandem. And so I had to have them somewhere on this list. I apologize to you. They would have been high on this list for me if they didn't... The Game 7 loss obscures, even though people do talk about it, how much of a flagrant choke job Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals was. Indeed, not even shooting. I think he took one shot in the last four minutes. P.J. Tucker needing to get in his face, like, bro, you can't keep passing out of single coverage against Al Horford. Even though he probably should have, because Al Horford was clamping his ass. That was one of the more disgraceful duo performances I've seen in the last few minutes of a basketball game in such a long time. Like, rivaling Kawhi and PG in the bubble, which frankly came under such different circumstances. You are at home. Jason Tatum's having the worst game of his life, and you can't close it out. That was, to me, just unforgivable. A despicable performance that should follow them around until one of them... They have to bury that one deeply with some kind of playoff run to take the stench off that. Just disgusting performance.

"But no, it's just people like basketball. And if you don't like basketball, then I don't know what to tell you, Rohan. Team USA has not been interesting since 1992. Were you even born? What is even going on right now? How cool. I'm just over it. I'm just over it. It's very simple. If they send the best basketball players, they will win. If not, who cares? Who cares? It's more interesting. It's also way more interesting when other countries win. It's way more fun. It's a way better story. Then you should be into this tournament. You should be into this tournament. Now I'm finally into it. For the first time all summer, I'm into it. But people are like, Oh, what are these lineup decisions? And why isn't Brandon Ingram doing this? It's because it's not a real team. They just threw these guys together a month before the tournament started. Okay, so you're being very disrespectful to the competition right now. You're being an elitist. No, I'm happy for the competition. This is my preferred outcome. I'm just like, when people are trying to dissect all the reasons why Team USA lost, we know why. I'll say I don't think, this is a different podcast, but I don't think in the Olympics you could just say if Team USA throws out the best players that they'll win. I don't think we're at that stage of the sport anymore. Steph, Book, KD, Lebron, and AD on the Olympic team, you don't think they're coming back with goals? Steph isn't going to play. He's never played. That's what I'm saying! That's what I'm saying, though. That's the only reason why. It's because we're not actually sending our 10 best players. Even so, you know me. Give me Serbia. Give me Jokic. Sure, absolutely. Jokic and the Bogdanovic brothers, let's go. I'm sorry, I think you're confused. I think you mean Jovic is the name you're actually looking for there? You missed it. I woke up at 4.30 today. I was watching Jovic. Where's your commitment? Good. Learn the game. Future Portland Trailblazer? Is he on the Blazers yet? I've been sleeping all summer. I think he's off the table now, apparently. So, anyway, let's not get too sidetracked here, because I do want to get into our top 10 duos ranking. And I'm going to let you go first. I know you love to have like 10 honorable mentions. I was literally about to say, can we do honorable mentions first? Yes. Should we save them for the end, because then it kind of takes a little bit of the spice out of it? Sure, but I want to do one dishonorable mention before we start. One duo that was previously on the list that I'm sick of. That I'm like, don't talk to me about this duo ever again. And that's Joel Embiid and James Harden. I'm done with both of you, unserious. Can I tell you a Sixers take I've been brewing on, by the way? Sure. If Joel Embiid was as good as Sixers fans say he is, and if Tyrese Maxey was as good as the Sixers front office says he is, they would trade James Harden for the Clippers spare parts. Because, I mean, if Embiid is better than Jokic, and Tyrese Maxey is as budding All-Star, I don't remember the Nuggets being this three-headed All-Star juggernaut. No one had Aaron Gordon as, you know, what, a top 30 player in the NBA before last year. So if Embiid is the MVP, this two-way dominating force that everyone says is better than Jokic, why do they need a third star? Why do they need, you know, another James Harden type of Tyrese Maxey's waiting in the wings? I just think it's a little revealing how high the bar is for who they have to trade James Harden for. I'm just going to say I agree, and, you know, I don't really want to go too... Yeah, I'll just say I agree. It's a great take. Great take. Thank you. Thank you very much. All right, Mike, so you want to save your honorable mentions? Yeah, let's save the honorable mentions because there's some on here that maybe people would think that you or I have on our top tens. And so let's jump. You want me to go first? Yes, please. Give me your 10th best duo in the NBA. Ja Morant and Jaron Jackson Jr. And before we go too much further into this exercise, let me just say, like, in terms of the ranking process, how did you balance out just pure talent versus, like, two teammates who complement each other and are, like, the sum is better than the two guys who make the sum better than individual parts the most? How did you kind of figure that out? It's a great question. To me, it's a wild mixture of who do I really enjoy watch playing? It was an important part of my list. Part of it was, like, would I want this duo in NBA Jam? Like, would this be a good NBA Jam duo? Another part of it was, do they win? Do they win? Do I feel like this duo wins? Do they strike fear into other teams as a duo? And then another part of it was availability, because I'm going to be honest. Let's get spicy off the top. Can I talk about my 10 yet? Like, what's... Yes, you asked me a question before you said before we get into it. I could sense you were about to take a left turn that would just throw everything off the rails. Well, I'm just going to say Jaron and JJ didn't make my list. Okay, that's fair. I mean, that's perfectly... There's a lot of duos. A lot of duos. And a huge part of that is Jaa's got the suspension. And also, the Grizzlies' starting five has played 160 minutes together last year. Again, that's not their fault specifically, but the starting five that they've had the last few years that's been really good has in fact barely played together. So they're on, like, a probationary period for me. But anyway, you can go ahead and talk about Jaa and JJJ. So what I'll say is they played over 800 minutes together last season, and that's a low number. And Jaa had his issues, and Jaron Jackson Jr. started the season with an injury. Their net rating when they were on the court together, and I looked up the net ratings in the regular season and the playoffs for all the duos that I have ranked in my top 10. And theirs is plus 14.5 in the regular season, which is absolutely an absurd number. So I initially actually had these two as an honorable mention, and then as I was kind of going through it and looking at some of the data and just thinking deeper about it because you were late for this podcast and I had some extra time to spare. It's just like, Jaa's amazing. I get that he's suspended, he's going through some stuff. Jaa's amazing. Jaron Jackson Jr.'s the reigning defensive player of the year. And they make so much sense together. You got the pick and roll, pick and pop. Jaron Jackson Jr. makes up for so many of Jaa's deficiencies on the defensive end. And when you have a big who can space, who's got great hands, who can score in the post, I just think they harmonize well. So I gave them the nod. Plus, they do win a lot of games. Yes, yes. Listen, they're good. It's unassailable. I have no issues with that. They're like a true honorable mention for me. I just, looking ahead to the season, just the Jaa suspension, it played a big role in this for me, even though people are going to say I'm hypocritical when I get further into my list, and that's fine. It's my list. But yeah, no, I mean, they're great. What have you made of, I know I just went on this whole FIBA rant, but there's been a lot of Jaa Jaa Jaa discourse. How do you feel about it? Because now he's fouling too much. He only had one foul today. Maybe the key is him fouling. That's been a reason they've been successful. But do you think that that is like, it is frustrating. I mean, you know, the Grizzlies fans come back with all, like, this is the number of times he's actually had five fouls, etc. But to me, the bigger issue is when he picks up those early fouls and has to come out, like, his minutes per game is like not particularly high for a player of his talent. What do you make of just the foul discourse? Yeah, I mean, I think there's something to it, and it's slightly overblown. I did not have him first for defensive player of the year on my ballot. I had Draymond Green. Famously. If it was a per minute award, then sure. Per minute, he was killer. But you're right, he didn't really play enough, I thought, relative to some of the other really great defenders in the league. You know, I mean, just watch his overall play has not been like good in FIBA. So beyond the fouling, and I think maybe he's potentially in his head a little bit. It's become so much ingrained with his narrative as a player, which is unfortunate. Super skilled, love so much about him. He was asked recently by Memphis Grizzlies social media team, who's the best player in the NFL, and he responded Tebow, which I thought was really funny. So love Jaron Jackson Jr. And yeah, I hope he just is a little bit more disciplined on that. And I'm sure he will be as he as he goes throughout his career. So my number 10 duo. And I don't even necessarily love this duo. But I have to show them respect for what they did last year. I want to talk about the duo that was the driving force of statistically the best offense in NBA history. And that's De'Aaron Fox and Damonta Sabonis, who, even though I think Sabonis was a little bit exposed in that playoff series against Golden State, I think, frankly, outplayed by Kavon Looney. I don't think you can argue against that. What they did in the regular season last year... Well, nobody stomped on Looney's chest. That's true. That's true. And also, not to be people forget guy on a podcast, but Sabonis played the entire second half last year with the messed up thumb that he could have gotten surgery on. And he said, No, I'm going to play. And I have a lot of respect for that.

"It's the crossover, Sports Illustrated's NBA show, breaking down the latest news, rumors, and everything in between. Here's your host, Rohan Nadkarni. Welcome back to the Crossover Podcast. I'm Rohan Nadkarni. Joining me on the show today is a senior writer at The Ringer. He left this show to podcast with a younger Indian person. It's our good buddy Michael the Podpina. Mike, how's it going? It's great. That intro is very professional, and then it just went off the rails into being unprofessional at the snap of my fingers. I think what you are taking as unprofessional is me presenting strictly facts. Those are two undeniable facts about the situation. I don't know. That's fair. Our listeners, the people who email us and DM us about what happened, deserve to know the truth. Deserve to know the truth. Mike and I are going to bring back a gimmick, I don't know what you want to call it, that you came up with. That you came up with two years ago that I think is, some would say, the best podcast we've ever done. It was definitely the most contentious. Yeah, and we've had some contentious podcasts. We are going to rank the top ten duos in the NBA. Surely we will be on the same page about that. But before we get into that, I want to talk about the FIBA World Cup, which Mike has been dutifully tweeting about all wee hours of the morning. First of all, can I just say, before you get into this, I don't do that. Are you kidding me? I've said maybe a total 15 tweets throughout the entire tournament. I've watched two games, so I don't even know why I'm the subject of your ire. That is at least 15 more tweets than I've sent about it. And I'm pretty sure I saw, like, why isn't McHale Bridges shooting more this morning? Yeah, you should have shot more. I want to talk about the FIBA World Cup for a brief moment here. Only because, when did everyone have a secret meeting that I wasn't invited to about how we're going all in on the FIBA World Cup this year? And I see, like, oh, look at this post-up set from Slovenia and Serbia against, oh, JJJ, I thought you were the defensive player of the year. Let's just call it what it is, okay? Team USA is not a basketball team. It is like, which 15 guys can we get to play in this tournament one month from now? That's what happened, okay? Calling them a basketball team is very generous. USA basketball has not been interesting since 1992, okay? It was cool. The dream team was cool, all right? It's very simple. If they send the best American players, they will win. If not, realistically, it's obvious we don't care that much. And people are like, everyone's like, Steve Kerr, this has proved my coaching thing about him, blah, blah, blah. They lost by two points in the semifinals with a fake team of guys who are clearly the third or fourth choice. And everyone's making such a big deal out of it. I don't get it, and I'm tired of it. Well, I just wrote a column today about that loss in which, functionally, the thesis is that no one should care about this. So once again, I am not your enemy here. I don't know why I was bullied into that corner.

Liverpool holds Eurovision Song Contest final, with Sweden favored and Ukraine in spotlight
"What includes the Swedish diva a Finnish rapper who loves pina coladas and an Austrian duo possessed by a long dead writer. It could only be the Eurovision Song Contest. The grand final of the pan continental pop music competition takes place in Liverpool. Britain is hosting the event on behalf of Ukraine, which one at last year's competition. Eurovision podcaster Steve Holden told the AP he had never seen a city embrace Eurovision as much as Liverpool. It runs through the whole of the city. Every pub, every shop, every bar has the Ukrainian flag. Ukrainian said she was touched by how Liverpool embraced the Ukrainian theme. It's celebration, but I can't be relaxed for 100%.

The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
Christie Says He's Not Surprised There Are so Many Charges
"Christie was on this week this weekend summing it up. Cut number one. It does not surprise me that there are that many charges because what you're talking about are financial transactions. And you can do it one of two ways is a prosecutor. You can bulk them all into one or two counts, or you can break them out into individual accounts and that's about your own decision in terms of how you want to present the proofs ultimately at trial and how you want the jury to consider it. So don't surprise me if there's a lot. But I do think we're making a lot of presumptions based upon media talk and talk from defense lawyers who you got your taka pina tour with this morning. He has no idea what's in the charging document. He hasn't seen it. So I do think there may be some surprises in there for us because the one thing I loved when I was the U.S. attorney George was only I knew what I knew. And that's the secrecy of the grand jury system. And then you have to ask the prosecutor, put your proofs forward. And unlike what Nancy Pelosi said on Twitter this week, Donald Trump doesn't have to prove his innocence. In fact, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he's guilty. So the number of charges doesn't really surprise me at all, but the fact that everyone's presuming they know what's in there when we don't. I think some people could be surprising.

As soon as the news broke, it was right before my show. On a.m. 9 7 in the answer, it was 5 30. I got a text Trump indict. That was in a meeting. I'm like, what?

I'll be in New York Monday, Tuesday, probably all of next week to cover all of this. Let's walk through what this looks like when he is booked and processed. I can't believe I'm even saying these words out loud when he surrenders in Lower Manhattan. Now there's been a debate about whether or not he'll be handcuffed. Of course he's going to be under the guidance or the care of the Secret Service to protection of the Secret Service. I guess they have to accompany him as he goes through this the indignities of this process, Arthur, will he be handcuffed or not? If I'm betting $20. You have a whopping 20. I'm going to say no. You don't think I'm going to say. No, there's a lot of discretion. There's a lot of discretion, even if Donald Trump wanted to be here for the photo op of it all. I don't see it happening. I see the Secret Service stepping in. You know, it's interesting. You talk about jail, right? Imagine he did get sentenced to jail. Imagine get sentenced to one week in jail. It was the Secret Service guy going to sit in the jail cell with him.

"Go to American Express dot com slash platinum all right, so if we move toward this pay a la carte, this thing we were talking about in the previous segment. There's a couple of bad things that happen. One is people without the means to just throw money around these different platforms now. Now you're losing them. I was texting with van lathan about this. Van lathan's like, what happens to black Twitter if it's $8 a month? I really want to know what happens to it. We didn't know. And that would be one of the downsides, right? You're losing by not having that's available to everybody. You're losing different communities that come with that, which is super dangerous. The other thing is, and this is why, you know, at a couple points in my career in people, people were like, are you going to do a subscription thing or are you going to, like, especially when I wrote, could you just write and charge people for what you wrote? And I was like, I would never want to do that. And I still feel this way in 2022. I want as many people as possible to consume whatever content I'm doing. That's what I care about. And that's never going to change. When you go into this culture that we're entering, now you have all these little smaller groups of readers, listeners, whoever, that are tailor made for the person who's creating the content. But you're not getting any new people. You're getting all the people initially, but then how do you, how do you churn? How do you get more people? How do you bring people in? How do you keep people? What happens if you leave some people, it gets super dangerous really fast versus people just stumbling into your ecosystem 'cause it's free. And that's the thing that I think scares me the most. This is the key tradeoff. In thinking like a journalist and thinking about my own life, not trying to put on the hat at Evan Spiegel or Mark Zuckerberg. But in my own life, I want to be read and listen to by as many people as possible. You know, I want my ideas to enter the cultural bloodstream. I want people to use the language that I use to talk about the news and tech and say COVID theater and talk about the abundance agenda. I want these ideas that I coined to become as popular as possible. And it is absolutely the case that if you gate your work, you're probably reducing its audience by something like an order of magnitude. At least ten X, I think. It's really rare that if you make something free and then you ask people to pay for it, more than 10% of that audience pays for it. It's typically a single digit. But some people say that. By the way, everybody teach their own. Some people are like, cool. I can make as much as I would have made them, and I have all these people that come and I'm good. I get to do what I love. And I don't really care, you know, how many people it is, but I'm doing what I love. That's right. Yeah, no, different people have different values. And it's an inherent tradeoff. There's no way around this tradeoff of reach for maximizing on per person revenue, right? That's just an inherent tradeoff. I do think that, you know, you put your finger on something really important, which is that we're in an environment right now. And this goes a little bit toward neck economics. But I think it's actually really core to this. We're in an environment right now, where we're going to have high inflation and high interest rates for a while. And that means that the conditions in which go for growth was born, right? The conditions in which this mentality of just grow as big as possible and support it with advertising. Those are going to change. And these companies are going to have to think about entirely new businesses. And even if they aren't thinking about charging their individual consumers for the product of SnapChat or for the product of Instagram, they're still trying to charge a consumers, like what is the new business line of snap and meta. For snap, it's glasses. They're trying to become an augmented reality company because people have to pay for the product, the hardware of glasses in a way that they don't pay for snap. So they're already making this pivot. They're just thinking in a way maybe of snapped as like sort of the gateway drug into the universe in which they might buy snack glasses. Same with meta, their next, their next product line is not an ad supported platform necessarily. It is Oculus. It's things you have to pay hundreds of dollars for. So you can already see in a way that these CEOs are making exactly determination that you're suggesting. They're just asking users to pay for a new product rather than ask them to pay for the free thing that they've always expected for free. But maybe in a few years, if interest rates are still high and inflation is still high and we have a recession, the advertising market that we've already seen, they'll start to think about, well, what if we make it $1 a year? What if we make it $2 a year? What if we try to just take a little bit more out of our users? I think it's absolutely possible that you could see more people talking about asking people to pay for social media. Last point on this is that, you know, I don't think Elon is doing a very good job at Twitter. I think it's utterly chaotic. I think he's not exactly the coldest take possible. Elon Musk isn't doing so hot and his new job at Twitter. That said,

"You said, Jimmy's gonna have his annual ten, 12 games and betting against our exposure and this team that knows its identity knows this defensive identity. Didn't really play a good defensive gaming against the sons, a son's team that didn't obviously have cam Johnson didn't have Chris Paul. Dwayne Washington was going off from three. But just kept kind of churning through on the defensive end and then had a scheme in place to, you know, every time Devin Booker had the ball or in a ball screen action, they would switch it and then double them and force a pass and force someone else to beat them. And they just kind of know what they are, who they are. And still managed to win that game with Jimmy at the end, getting that great stop against Devin Booker. But the fact that it was so close at home and their schedule right now, they're about to go on the road. Road heavy schedule coming up. It could get pretty, I don't want to say ugly. I think this team is just average. I don't think they're very good. I don't think they're very bad. Their average, but that's just not really going to cut it. They have these sequences here and there where things look good, but Duncan Robinson is not hitting us three as game Vincent's not hitting his threes. It's just a thin team, really dependent on Jimmy Butler and Jimmy Butler's third on the team right now in usage. And I always want him to be a little bit more aggressive, offensively as a score. They needed him in that Charlotte game and over time, I want him to be like that more often and then that's just not who he is until the playoffs happen. But yeah, going back to the hawks, wait, hold on, can we finish my aim and then we'll go to the hawks, but absolutely. The butler thing. So last night, if you just watched the last three minutes, you're like, oh my God, Jimmy Butler. But it only took 12 shots. He has the ability to kind of, I don't want to say coast, but he picks his spots because he's older. But then you watch the last 5 minutes. The defense he played on Booker on that last play was out of control. That was like game 7. Defense. And I was watching it, wondering, in the back of my head, I wonder if he's putting on a little show just in case, just in case Phoenix wants to make an offer to 500 Miami team in two months. Maybe I don't know what it is, but I do wonder, I just don't think butler's made to be in a 500 team. And I think that's another subplot to watch with them. Clearly, they won three in a row. They kind of read their ship a tiny bit, but I just think that's a subplot that we have to watch. If that team is 24 and 28, because a couple injuries happen or whatever. I don't trust him to just be happy in a bad situation. Anyway, putting them on that hawks. What do you see? Always been a sucker for the hawks. I love Trey young. I think he's one of the 5 best offensive players in basketball. Pick and roll genius. His shot has not been falling this year, so I see a little bit of upside when he kind of things turn around a little bit for him. 34% of his shots last year were pull up three is now it's down to 25%. I want him to, you know, Jack things up a little bit more. They're not really falling. They will. Dijon Murray is just the offense is still bad when Trey is off the floor regardless of who's on it, which is a little concerning, but their net rating is positive because of Dijon, I think. He's just such a great, such a great table setter, such a great pick and roll playmaker, settles things down. There was one play last night against the bucks. By the way, they beat the bucks twice this season. One of those games was without Trey, the bucks are ten and three, two last week against the hux, which is pretty impressive. But there was one play last night in transition where he just squeezed, bringing the ball up in the open floor and he screams for John Collins to run through the paint, run through, run through. Drag his man hits Deandre hunter in the corner for a corner three. Just like a really smart communicator settles things down, I've always been a huge fan of his game all around player, doesn't really need the ball even though his spot up shooting from the outside is terrible, but his pull up from the mid range is great. The one thing I'll say is really concerning about this team. Really miss bogdan Bogdanovich really miss Kevin herder, dead last in three point rate. First and mid range frequency, I just don't understand there's some players on this team that just should shoot more threes and I don't understand why they don't and I hope that that kind of tilts back in the right direction as the season goes on, but you nailed it with capella. He looks great on Kong whoo basically guards Giannis and deku kumbo better than anybody in the league. Incredible player. So I just love the depth in Atlanta and what's really funny, I just want to say is that they make this trade I don't want to say it's a panic trade for Dijon Murray but you give up three firsts. Which is a lot. And you look at the roster and it's like they want to win right now, but in two or three years, that is when this team is going to peak

"I have to look at that some more. I gave train the legacy because Trey at least made the Conference Finals and has done anything, but it's funny you mentioned the defense in the roundup thing. That was the thing that jumped out with him as a rookie. It was hard to say what he was going to be offensively, but the things that he definitely had, he moved a certain way on defense that was just always productive and he had long arms and he was just kind of bothersome. And he was really fun to play with was the other thing. He was never, that's why it's been so interesting to watch him this year where he just all of a sudden now is this, you know, the fulcrum of every offensive possession. I never thought he was going to be that type of player. I always thought he was going to be this, you know, kind of inclusive, doesn't have a lot of shots. And I just didn't see the offensive side. If you're the Knicks, this was the big chess piece you were kind of hoping for is like the, we didn't get down to the Mitchell, but we still have the picks to move in on somebody. And now I think the ship's probably sailed. Davis would be the other one. Maybe? But everybody's like, well, what's the next big deal going to be? And I just don't think, I don't think the players there yet, unless there's somebody on that scene. To me, SGA would still be the number one. But I don't think it's conceivable. Unfortunately for the Knicks, Sam presti watched the thunders a 145 points on Sunday afternoon against all the players that actually, well, RJ barret was benched in the second half for that game. So he didn't even get to play. So I don't think that that's such an attractive package anymore. And it's funny, obi toppin is actually four months older than Shay Gil just Alexander. I will look that up. So I don't know. They have a ton of picks. That's great. A lot of them are protected firsts from other teams. So I just, I don't see it, unfortunately for the Knicks. Sorry, next fans. Yes, Shea, she's still 24. Which is just unbelievable to me. Also, the other thing with him, I think he's eligible for the Canadian team, right? Yes. In the Canadian team might be pretty good this year or whenever the next Olympic year is going to look like this. She is like your worst case scenario for an Olympic battle. Let's take a break and then I want to talk about the next.

"He did a monthly NBA awards piece on Monday. The once in the season awards. What do you call it? Exactly. We're a couple weeks in a few weeks and it was a small sample size theater awards is what I nicknamed it, I think, internally. You know, we all do it about, I hate the MVP debate until there's like 12 games left. But yet we do it so often now that now I get mad when I see like you had Luca as the MVP and not Tatum and I was like, fuck this. Tatum's doing everything right now. Boston is the best offense in the league. I'm just getting bad for 13 games in. We're not talking about Tatum coming out of the gig. I want to talk about SGA. Played the Celtics last night. He was incredible. 13 for 26 against all of these different defenders, Boston throwing at him. He doesn't really take three pointers. I mean, he made two last night, but for the most part in the paint stats are starting to rival like what you would see from centers. And to say he made the leap as the understatement. Every year we have a guy who just makes a leap and it's usually a young guy and it's usually somebody under maybe 26. You know, like, wow, I didn't realize this guy was going to be this good. This guy is clearly the guy this year. And now of course I have Knicks fans of my life being like, oh, we just got a same Mitchell thing. We got to to me he's an untrainable. Do you have, let's start there. Do you have him as an untrainable at this point? I agree. I don't understand the trade rumors, really. I feel like it's wish casting from Knicks fans. It's wish casting from raptors fans, any other fan base that wants this dude. He's absolutely unguardable. I mean, you said it last night against the Celtics. They're throwing some of the best individual defenders and basketball Adam grant Williams, Jalen Brown, Marcus smart. It didn't matter. Al Horford, they threw some Al Horford Adam. They had tried 6 guys on them. Sure, Sam Hauser did block his shot when I get that on the record. Incredible play. But no, I mean, 31 and a half points. 6 assists, 5 boards, whatever it is, 6th and PER. The number is kind of it's more about just watching him play watching how fluid he is, getting to the rim. Averaging 17.1 points in the paint, which is third behind only Yanis and Zion, and Jesus. More than John morant, who had the most points in the most points in the paint for a guard in 25 years. Since they started basically recording the statistics. So he's just, he's incredibly, he can do everything with both hands, drives left more than he drives right. I love watching him play his everything in the bag. It's amazing to watch. It's so funny for me because the clippers at him as a rookie. And I went to some of those games. And he clearly had it. It was like, this guy's gonna be good. He's definitely a starting guard. Maybe it all star, that could be the ceiling. He'd have some games where he just sucked. Then he'd have some other games and be like, oh, this guy. And when they threw him in the Paul George trade, which I think they had to. I don't think okay, C is doing that shit. Otherwise, but I remember doing positive time being like, yeah, I know that was a shitload of picks, but I'm telling you, I just think the clippers should have figured out a way to keep him. Because everything they're trying to do, this is like the guy you need with those two guys, potentially. I never thought he was going to be this good. But I also pressed these like, hey, if you want Paul George, I need that guy. And I need some picks, but I think SGA was the key to the trade. I never in a million years. In that first clip of your thought that he would be as good as the guy, first 13 games. It just didn't seem like he had the offense. And I think what's been stunning to me is he's got this weird turkey jerky thing. Where it's like, he's not one of those like jaws, jazz. I'm gonna beat you down. I'm gonna do some stuff that I'm gonna go buy you. Shay, like you don't even really know he's going by you until he already went by you. You think like he's setting up or he's waiting for a pick to come over and he's moving at this weird speed and then all of a sudden he's just by people can finish him with either hand and he's just, I think he's the quirkiest offensive player in the league. Would you could you come up with a quirkier offense than him? He's very idiosyncratic. I would say that when I wrote the small sample size theater, he was my most improved player, obviously. And I wrote in there that trying to guard him when he drives the basketball is like sipping it open mug of coffee in rush hour traffic. That's just like, as you said, he's herky jerky. The hesitation moves are there. I found that when he picks up his dribble in the paint, that's when he does the most damage. He just pivots through until he finds this little window, this little crease to get his shot off or find an open shooter on the perimeter. He's just amazing and he's so patient and his decision making is so intelligent and advanced. And I think that you really hit the nail on the head at the beginning when you talked about how he's abandoned, not abandoned, but he doesn't need the three point line to just average over 30, which is kind of remarkable, and I don't know anyone else who really does that beyond demar Derozan last season who didn't even average 30. If you look at his three point rate two years ago it was 30, 3.8, two years ago, or last season, I should say it was 28. And this year, it's 13. So that slide is, I don't even know how to, like, it's absolutely amazing. And the fact that he's shooting 50% from the mid range 72% in the restricted area. Just such a talent. You know, they doubled him a few times last night. And I was watching it going, damn. That's like the ultimate sign of respect from the Celtics because they really pride themselves like, if they're doubling, you're like, Giannis basically. And then scalabrine said it on the broadcast. It's like, man, they're doubling Shea. So he thought the same thing. To me, that's like, when you're shifting the game where the entire defense is so worried about you, they're either sending the second guy you. That's like, that's the level I want you to be at offensively and conversely, if you're not getting treated like that, I always wonder how good you are. You know, where it's like, oh, this guy's getting his points, but yeah, when I watch the games, they don't seem that worried about him. Like they're happy to go have just one on one and they'll shade a little bit, but not really. He was getting treated completely different part of that as his team's not great. But, you know, for the Celtics to concede, we need multiple guys on this one. I thought it was kind of a last video game level for him. I was really impressed. Yeah, I think early in the game, you know, you load up to stop him because he's the entire scouting report, right? Everyone knows what he wants to do. He wants to go down nearly wants to get into the paint. And the Celtics load up behind him. They pack the paint and he just finds Jalen Williams, who hits a couple threes. He finds Lou dort, who it's a three. I think poku hit a corner three. And as the game goes on, Celtics defenders are drifting a little bit more towards the perimeter and respecting those shots and contesting those shots, and then that's when it opens up for Shay. So he's just really smart without he paces himself and paces the

"Has been reported about it and what rich Paul said on the record, I don't think he'd be ready to play basketball immediately. So when is he going to be ready to play basketball? And I think that those are questions that you just have to ask yourself as an organization that's trying to trade for him, so I don't know when this is going to end. I don't think it's going to end any time soon. And I think the sixers are just in a really difficult position that they did not anticipate being in. And like you said, Mike, if you don't want to waste a year of prime in a wide open Eastern Conference. And that is what they would be doing if they kind of stand pad here and don't, you know, lower down the asking price. And so you combine that with the fact that it's going to be tough for all these teams like who can justify making of this deal? Who's a team that definitely wants to give up good value for Benson? He's on the right timetable with the rest of their core as they go forward. So if you go through it, it's like a shorter list than you think of teams that are probably willing to do that at this point without knowing that they're going to have to talk to him, know that he wants to go there. And so if Gary washburn putting that little nug in his article this week too saying that Ben Simmons is interested in Boston, that makes me think this is something that I wonder you know, you're like, oh, why wouldn't he got that? If this drags on it to January, then it's certainly not worth watching now. But if things are still kind of meth and salt looks then and Philly's still playing well, that's when things get a little more interesting, I think. You talk about potentially wasting a year of embiid's prime. I guess anything other than a title maybe is doing that or serious run, but how often do we see these teams make the huge deal midseason and then that year gel immediately to the point where you could point to contend? That's why I think it would have made more sense to get out of the way early. But pina, do you have any insight into any actual real offers that mowry had at any point this off season? I don't know whether it's the brogden or whatever it was anything that was actually on the table for him to turn down or now is this still just kind of speculation and no, I mean, I think there's been a lot of conjecture out there..

And honestly i can't even describe what what hap- i mean okay so there's qualities of the film that that if you're a fan of certain genres you're going to pick up on immediately but the basic premise is a guy he's always wanted to be jazz musician. He gets his big break. What she has two things happened in the same day i he finally gets the offer to be a full time music teacher at his local junior high and then he also gets the opportunity to audition for a professional jazz quartet. 'cause new pinas And so he gets both of these gigs. The same day and of course immediately falls on a manhole cover. Yeah you know. I only watched it. Well the fact that it happened that he gets gig. That's maybe a shock to you but It happens early. I don't count as a sport but it happens early enough in the film. I don't think it's a spoiler. Can say i i kinda go glad that. He thought he dies early on. Well he doesn't exactly die and it's kind of a ghost stem situation of ever saw goes bad that classic.

Phallacy! Life lessons from the animal penis
"I'm emily willingham. I am a science writer and biologist and i wrote a book about penises. Of course he does. Don't to emily. Willingham is a scientist who specialized in urology sheedy researching sex determination sexual development and a whole lot of other fascinating stuff. She's also an accomplished science journalist specializing in pretty much. Everything interesting rod and six is definitely interesting. Emily's new book is called fallacy lifeless from the animal pinas. You had such fun writing this book. I feel like. I've been in some kind of wildlife or g. or something did. Was that fun splits. No arrests parade for sure. A parade of paint. She means and yes. We are talking about animal. Appendages of every size species and variety. Today it's mostly family friendly more like a visit to the zo really. But there's you contact morning. We say penis allot because correct body names meta mitchell. And this is science fiction welcome it's called fallacy. Lifeless lessons from the animal penis. Says it starts with jeffrey epstein but by chapter two you're on the spot and slugs what's fella see you want who interrogate in this book and that's fallacy with a ph the fallacy them interrogating. Is that the the pain is centered as sort of the throbbing obelisk evolve masculinity and. That's of course not the case. In science there have been efforts to sort of foreground. The human penis over that of other animals especially primates. There of course is an entire cottage industry of sending pictures of your pianist. People hoping that they will be very impressed by them. All kinds of research around it that center and four i mean even freud built his entire his entire analytical basis on this idea of the is and what he could construe from it and i think we need to move away format that's the fallacy that we need to get away. Here's the thing though as a biology lecture over many years you promoted the fella sees about fellas in your classrooms. Tell me about that. Oh called on the carpet. Yes one of the things we used to teach for. Example is that the penises a sperm delivery system. Never mind. that's what i taught anyway and that is not all that it does. Even the human version can do more than that as we know when you expand your vision to include near the broad array in the animal kingdom. You realize these things serb all kinds of purposes besides being firm delivery systems and they don't even deliver sperm in the same direction and some species. Let's unpack that. Because it is an amazing array of stories but there is no doubt that the painting has cultural across cultures across the ages. Phallic symbols have been potent. They've been worshipped. they've been ever present science though has taken the cultural pow invested in the penis a whole lot further much further and for you if illusionary psychology particularly egregious he and you start with what you describe as the bad boys. Embed science of evolutionary psychology bids. The blue dildo study feel seen these studies at least from my read of them. Ask questions that are very focused on the pena's yet pretend to be focused on people with china's and they home in on this whole idea that penans has the power to satisfy china and so the blue dildo study involves his creation of a series of dildos like like three d. printed plastic dildos basically of different sizes and they recruited fairly small number of people who evinced an interest in having sex with people penises and had them. I think hold them and look at them and then later try to get them to recall sizes and things like that and determined the their preferences related to. This is repeat whether they were wanted one night. Stand there long term relationship and other silly stuff but the thing is that if you talk to women have you talk to people who have china's that's not where their focus lies and so studies that really do as that question with all sincerity and ask a lot of people with china's side question. They don't get the answer. Gigantic penis please. That's not what the so they show much more attention to some of the surrounding structures especially the clitoris. So it's this assumption. That i think arises from usually who's asking these questions and how they want a manslaughter centering. The pena's evolutionary psychologists look for explanations for contemporary behaviors and mating preferences. So we'll roll. Have they cast the pain of seen. This is not the whole field. But these particularly not great studies the penises. The supposed to be really interesting to women and even young girls. You're there from their perspective. I guess the males people with these rocking around and people are just like falling over themselves. Because oh my god that thing and they they want to use that as an excuse in a way for kind of behaviors that they're exhibiting now or modern attitudes that they want to reinforce that are that actually just kind of uphold inequalities in the kind of thing and i mean how much sense does that make if you really were all walking around naked and you saw a human penis you just reporting around in. There is a person with a peanuts. All inspiring is it really. I mean will it depends on the behold it depends on the beholder of course but the thing is is that when when evolution shapes genitalia to be showy their showy

What Patients Are Saying About Antipsychotic
"In the early nineteen nineties about half of US patients with bipolar disorder took lithium now, it's closer to fifteen percent and the use of antipsychotic says more than doubled to fill that gap. A new survey reveals what patients think about these newcomers. This was an online survey of two hundred US adults who by their own report were diagnosed with bipolar one disorder and had taken an antipsychotic within the past year. Era Paul was the most common followed by Qu- Pina Spirit Own Olympian and Larizza on there are others that fell off after that. Overall people were satisfied with the efficacy but dissatisfied with the tolerability ninety, eight percent had at least one side effect on the NS psychotic and most of the side effects were not trivial. Ninety two percent felt the side effects had a negative effect on their relationships. Patients were embarrassed by the side effects. Particularly, anxiety weight gain followed by involuntary spasms or movements and trouble concentrating. I'm reminded here of Dr Magas Warning in June twenty nineteen issue on side effects that patients are not likely to put up with a side effect that they find socially embarrassing. The side effects that bothered people the most worrying Zaidi with gain and feeling like a Zombie or having no emotions And the rates of these three burdensome effects were large in the seventy percent range. ANTIPSYCHOTIC side effects carried over into all areas of life family, romance friendships, and work. Thirty to fifty percent felt that the anti psychotics impact their job sixty to seventy percent felt that the bipolar symptoms impacted their job. So from the patient's point of view, the side effects are a little better, but almost as bad as the disorder itself in the workplace. The bottom line while the PDR can tell us what side effects to expect surveys like this. Tell us just how damaging those side effects are. And the numbers here are much higher than what we see in the PDR. What's unclear is whether lithium or the Anti convulsants would raise the same level of complaint in

National Nonprofit Day with Hannah Hethmon
"Hey Paul this is Hannah Hessman August. Seventeenth is national nonprofit day. My favorite kind of nonprofits are museums. Of course, all our favourite museums are locked down right now struggling to get through this virus like the rest of us. So I thought we'd celebrate them a little and I challenge you on that note to find a great podcast created by a museum. Go. Well Hannah under most other circumstances, this would have been a minor challenge. But as it turns out, we have a mutual friend that has a podcast about museums and that same friend was my eighth guest on this show. For my first recommendation, I'm going with museum archipelago. When the host Ian Elsner was my guest I mentioned an old episode about the Apollo Eleven landing site. But I'm not going to take the easy way out and I'm going to suggest to newer and very relevant topic statues. In this episode and talks about the relationship statues and museums, he goes into the tearing down toward causton statue and one of his guests talks about the slippery slope. So to celebrate this National Nonprofit Day learn about a nonprofit consider donating time or money to one that you believe in and let us know using the National Nonprofit Day Hashtag. Today's guest is Hannah Hetman. Hannah's the writer and producer of the Vagina Museum podcast. Yes. You heard that correctly. In New York there is a sex museum which I've been to. In Iceland, there is a Pinas Museum which I haven't been to. And now there is a Johnny Museum which opened in London in two thousand and nineteen. The podcast. Liked the museum is all about smashing shame and stigma around the vagina through awareness education and route puns. The first and recommended episode is entitled. See you next Tuesday as in the letter C. and the letter, you would you like me to wait for you to figure it out. As most people know there are many terms for the vagina, but there is one that stands out as the most offensive if you still haven't figured it out, it starts with the letter C and ends would Tuesday? This episode answers a lot of questions about that specific word. For last recommendation Hannah recommends if people saw that slavery was getting started why didn't they stop it by Q. and Abe? She says and I quote. This podcast is produced totally in house by President Lincoln's cottage in DC. They take questions from their guests. They can't answer at the moment and die super deep into them with the help of historians to address big ideas in American history loosely connected to Abraham. Lincoln. Of course, but it's so much more than a podcast about Lincoln Unquote. For. Today's episode hot sauce. I'm going to relay on link that Hannah gave me. If I got stuck trying to find an episode related to this day. Hanna is the owner of better lemon creative audio that produces podcast for museums, history organizations, and cultural nonprofits. So check out the director she created that anyone can add to. Come back on August, twenty fifth where I'll be talking about close a topic I have no business talking about.

‘I Keep Hearing Painful Coughs’: Life on Quarantined Cruise Ship
"We talked about a story yesterday where in the diamond princess which is a a princess cruise ship was forced to dock outside of Yokohama Japan can undergo some of the passengers were supposed to go under testing because there were thoughts that some of them might have been carrying the corona viruses well it turns out at least twenty thus far according Japanese health effects have tested positive they have tested a hundred and two people so far of those twenty or positive the first ten cases were announced yesterday at on this and the second ten today arm now here's the thing two we learned about that yesterday and as a result princess cruises decided to quarantine that ship I actually think it was the Japanese government quarantine that ship meaning they could not doc for two weeks there are wild they couldn't be like people can get off the damn **** for two weeks right and yesterday we have this whole conversation where I was like I don't know on the one hand I mean you're on a cruise ship on the other hand I don't know that I want to be stuck on a cruise ship because like are we getting the full meal deal right are we getting the is the casino open like what are the rules yeah do you get to kick back on the lido deck and have your virgin Pina Qalat does from The New York Times article today where they had somebody report on this quote I keep hearing painful cost all not good so here's the thing things are looking up for the people the two thousand by the way I think we said it was like thirty seven hundred or something it's two thousand people quarantine on this cruise ship things are looking up but here's why this is maybe not as exciting as you want to be the things that were looking up included meals coming on a more regular schedule what does that mean it means meals coming to your cabin delivered by people in hazmat suits sweatshirts I don't know if there were a hazmat suits everybody has to stay in their room who are your quarantine to your room now the internet was upgraded to a wider band with so everybody's able to communicate with the outside world and there was even official approval to breathe some fresh air what do I mean by that this is still just a day two of a two week quarantine and there is still a persistent concern about spreading the virus and the long days ahead of people stuck inside their cabins they did say here's one person quote on Twitter I keep hearing painful coughs from a foreigner in a nearby well my gosh I might get infected today or tomorrow I mean that seems a little tired other passengers have been widely away some of the time on social media they said if there were more hopeful signs one noted that supplies were being moved into port and the ambulances were in position another said that entertainment crews have been calling guest rooms to cheer people up and toilet paper had been dissed ash I am Hey guys do do do do same song can we talk about it is one thing to be stuck in a cruise home that has a window to the outside world or a balcony he is quite another to be in an interior cabin like Yardley wanna passenger who's in a interior cabin with no windows traveling with her six year old son they said I can't even quote I'm so looking forward to it the it was that they were gonna allow small groups with face mask to breathe air on open dax she said permission had been granted with those in windowless rooms like hers allowed to go out first because I I wonder I bet you can't even go out on your balcony no although I would probably say you know yeah the door a little bit just to take some time out there this sounds like I feel this is a nightmare this is not what we wanted it to be I don't think well in my head I was like two weeks on a cruise ship yeah I like to do at the infected people in you know their own quarters I mean my kindle get a lot of work by all but I and then I also think about it with three kids in a small room that would be if they were all healthy yeah that would be a nightmare and if one got on healthy because they accidentally touched the you know rail that somebody who had it well in time as you're sitting in a room in her there you would just very quickly think the world is coming to an aisle class and you're gonna get screwed so anyway that's terror our thoughts and prayers to flow to the people stuck on the

Gut bacteria prefer to chow down on certain dietary fibers
"Now speaking of the field of aging we have a leading scientists in research in the field of aging are with us right now a doctor Michael Lewis garden and I just want to give you his website before we do anything it's Michael well the normal way am I CH a E. L. L. U. S. T. G. A. R. T. E. N. dot com and we will also have that on our website of course and he is a scientist a Tufts University and the human nutrition research center on aging so his research when it comes to an interest in is specifically about aging and that he sees a problem the problem is our guts he's written a book about it I'll tell you all about that in a minute but I want to go to the doctor right now. why are you concentrating on microbes in the god of microbial health and what does that have to do actually with the science of better H. R. two so to jump into that I should say that about five years ago I didn't care about microbes bacteria viruses on that I didn't care about any of it he didn't walk in on my radar at all I started off studying blood predictors of muscle mass and function in older adults and when I was doing that I published several papers that identified bacterial metabolites in the blood that were either positively or negatively associated with muscle mass and function in older adults so that led me into the idea of well maybe the cop microphonics playing some role on stark Pina and based on that I was able to get some studies funded and as you saw at the conference I publish that recently published some of that data on the role of got microbiome on muscle strength but there are a bit in emerging field right now the will of the gut microbiome on the government's lack of muscle mass and functions where three papers and mine support paper so far this year have identified microbes for real for the gut microbiome on muscle mass and functions so it's an emerging a rapidly emerging feel dope now in terms of nutrition that potentially can optimize that the most obvious place to start would be with dietary fiber in the reason for that is because our humans don't have the enzymes to digest dietary fiber dietary fiber passes into your large intestine and then bacteria in your large intestine convert those those fibers into short chain fatty acids so basically very short little fat but you don't you don't normally get from diet with the exception of something they like water which may have small amounts of the short chain fatty acid butyric but very low amount compared to what you could convert from five or so then once these bacteria make short chain fatty acids does ready I go from the inside of the intestine into the intestinal cells which can aren't test motels the mitochondria particular use those short chain fatty acids to make energy that energy is used to improve got barrier function which is important for keeping stuff that was in the inside of the intestine from going into the blood and that's important because during aging that that. got here actually decreases so if you have a low fiber diet your body will be able to have optimal intestinal barrier function more stuff that inside the intestines will leak into the blood potentially activating information information of all kinds of nasty things sore muscles are green all the issues in our blood so again port place to start in terms of optimizing our health and longevity is optimized dietary fiber intake that's the core theme of the book and I should also I didn't start off with that idea and that approach the idea and the that is default through the literature I basically changed my diet after going down this road do you have a super high fiber diet rabbit close to a hundred grand five a day triple the RDA so that I can optimal got very function and you know improve systemic functions. so you thought your listening now and you know that there's a tremendous amount of information both technical and practical and I won just give you the website again that that is the doctor or scientist website Michael lust Garten L. U. S. T. G. A. R. T. E. N. dot com and it again this is not coming from the world of selling supplements this is coming from the world of science research both in the laboratory and personally so now let's get practical for a second I every morning I take my flax seeds and I put them in my yogurt alright I take my chia seeds and I put it in my smoothie but I don't think I have anything compared to the amount that you're putting into your body and is there anything country indicating them and these are the ways that you're suggesting people get the dietary fiber. so flak he can be a great way to get increase your fiber but the foundation of my diet is a few festivals not in terms of fiber content per calorie nothing beats the fiber density vegetables and a happy post on this on my blog by compared the fiber and not just five or ten nutrient density of vegetables compared to all green calorie for K. per calorie per calorie nothing beats vegetables opt for fiber and nutrient density so when I eat vegetables I'm not eating a few for the broccoli and meeting a pound or more actually sorry. Graham a more actually yesterday I had eleven hundred grams broccoli morning in addition to other stocks so a meeting if you divide the best schools to get this fiber goal but I should mention I'm not vegan I'm not a vegetarian I do eat the meat ID with some dairy I can be to make but at the end of the day for me it's more than just a simple dietary ideology way say go high fiber for me back to work and I know that because like I said I track my diet in a truck my circulating biomarkers it'll lower fiber diet was able to optimize my biological age then I I promote that too but for me what works best for me is a very high fiber diet in terms of optimizing got help and biologically. so let me just tell everybody that. when tell and Mikael when Dr Michael it's gotten speaks people listen so are also remember these scientists and part of his experiment is himself which is what makes him so unique in the scientific world and I will tell you that his overall and I'm reading his book and you should always book microbial burden a major cause of aging and age related disease easy to get on Amazon I put on my kindle it was a pleasure to read on the plane all the other day and I learned a lot but the fact is that his over arching words are no that I self sees very much like the oracle at Delphi no they sell and he knows himself because he keeps testing and so this doesn't mean you go out and and you do this but I tell you what I did do doctor I went out and I would have had to carry. you said so that was the only way yeah. we're gonna come back in a couple of seconds and I'm I do want to talk about that how we can as a practical matter could some of what you have learned and you learn things that are very impressive and work for most people to different degrees out into our diets properly and that were also does look a little bit about the idea of nutrition as we get older because they're even changing that concept when it comes to surgery used to tell you not to eat that's changing we'll be back in just to get you
