Amin Believes the Miami Heat Can Win It All | Local Hour

There is nothing casual about football season. You can tell yourself you're just going to watch one game, and six hours later, you're emotionally invested in a fourth quarter between two teams you don't even care about. That's what I love about this time of year. The entire weekend becomes football. You're texting friends, tracking games, second-guessing coaches, convincing yourself you saw something before everybody else did. And then Monday comes around, and you get to do the whole thing again. Those are the weekends you remember. And for me, some of the best ones have usually involved some good people, a great game, and a cold Miller Lite. No matter what triumphs are in store this season, legendary game days start with Miller Lite. Cold, crisp, refreshing, that clean finish. And it's part of plenty of memorable football weekends.

You are listening to the Dan Levitar Show in partnership with the DraftKings Sports App. Now live in all 50 states. All right, we made it. We did it. We made it to Friday. Look at this crew. I don't think we've ever worked together before. What do we got? We got Chris Cody. We got Mike Ryan. We got Roy Bellamy. We got Jeremy Taché. We got Dave Damaschek from the West Coast. What's up, Dave? What's happening, everybody? Yeah, maybe we should just do the entire show today in our best respective Zaslow impressions. That's a good call. That's not today. Sounds awesome. It's awesome. It's awesome. There's a lot to get to. A lot locally happening. I went to the Heat game last night. We'll talk about that in a second. But Highlight is back, guys. Can you give me a Highlight update, Mike? You know how Chris Cody thinks that the Panthers are undefeated? The opposite for the Cyclones. We've only drawn and lost. Your favorite runners-up are starting out at the gates pretty slow. And we need a dub in the worst way. And tonight. We're going out there. It's a Finals rematch. We play the Chargers. And as everyone in the world knows, we lost in devastating fashion to these guys. It went all the way to the final point. And Iñaki double-faulted. And that's how we lost the title. They didn't earn the point. It was a very controversial one, too. I think about it every day. Take me through the NBA on NBC intro monologue going into this rematch. A few short months ago, I got to do my Marv Albert voice. A few short months ago. A few short months ago, I would take three hours. Right? He's so wordy. A few short months ago. There you go. Take the vine. The Cyclones. We're on the precipice. Just the Cyclones, though. Really? Yeah, it's been that way for several years. Sorry. The Cyclones. Cyclones. Okay. The Cyclones. Yeah, fun last night. What happened? This is my bowling, Chris. I had karaoke last night. Hi, guys. What'd you sing? I sang. I did two songs. I did two and a half songs, actually, if I must. First, I did Usher, Nice and Slow. That's karaoke standard. Crowd pleaser. Then, I went to the old reliable. T-Pain. Buy you a drink. Buy you a drink. But here's the problem. Buy you a drink. That's my go-to. Went up there and was a full verse in, and I realized. I was like, why? I haven't had that much. I haven't had that much to drink. Why is it so hard for me to remember these lyrics? Why am I having to stare at the screen? Because, as you guys know, there's rules to karaoke. Dave Damage, you know that? There's rules to karaoke? I don't know what the hell we're doing. We have a giant weekend of football. Seahawks and 49ers. This is the local hour, sir. We have huge college football games. Get back to karaoke. Yeah, fade them down. It's local hour. We're doing local things, and karaoke is a competitive sport. Just power through. So, there are rules to this. One of the rules is. If you don't know the song, don't sing it. I know the lyrics are on the screen, but if you have to stare at the screen, that means you don't know the song. So, I find myself staring at the screen. I'm like, what's going on? What's happening to me? And the answer, my friends, is that they gave me the wrong song. They gave me Bartender. And so, I'm like. You know what? Upgrade. It took me all the way up to the hook, and I was like, this isn't my song. So, then I started singing the hook. This isn't the song I picked. Nuh-uh. No way. But you don't know the lyrics to Bartender? No. So, you did what you did. You did what you do to our video team when a little mistake happened. Of course. That's not the. Instead of just rolling with it, you're like, let me stop everything. There was a mistake. I did. When T-Pain says they brought us drinks to drink, we drunk them, got drunk. Yeah. Felt that. Chris, I don't stop everything. I do roll with it, but I roll with it by pointing it out. I would like you, then. Let's just complete the circle here. Yes. We're going to just spin our wheels. I would like you to do T-Pain karaoke as Zaslo. Go. Take a swig first. They brought us drinks. Baby girl. We drunk them, got drunk. Very drunk. I'm going to buy you a drink. Broke up on my cool last night. So, there are other rules to this. Someone picked Bohemian Rhapsody. Get all the way the hell out of here with that. You can't. No, it's not that it's too long. It's that, you know this, I mean, you can't do a song with that long of an instrumental at karaoke. Yeah. You can't. Well, that, but also that long of a song. It's way too long. It was three minutes and I had a long instrumental. I would raise an eyebrow, but I'd let it slide. But it's like a seven, eight minute song. How do we feel about in karaoke? I do this move. I did it on the last cruise I was on. You do the first verse and chorus, and then you just go, all right, that's good for me. And you just kind of like, I'm done. You fade out. You like give a look. You fade out. You fade out. You fade out to the person controlling it. You're just like, all right, I did it. Everyone laughed. As long as it's not awkward. It's because I came, I did a can you take me higher creed, and I like just nailed like my limited fake creed. Yeah. And it was just, so like I got, I had such a good reaction to the first chorus and verse that I was just like, I'm not going to keep, it's the same joke again. So I'm just going to ride, I'm going to ride into the sunset. Girl, I've been shaking, sticking and moving. Trying to get to you. And that booty. And that booty. That booty. You and that booty. Right now, it's not even doing that. Chris, I wish people had the courtesy like that. I'm not going to beat it. I'm not going to beat what I just did. Like you said, I hit a high note, literally and figuratively, and I'm going to walk out on it. The crowd enjoyed it. Yeah, man. Like I don't want, now it's just going to be a minute of like, oh man, that first verse was awesome. Yeah. I don't want that. I like that. I might start doing that. The best way to be able to capitalize on the second verse or chorus is to then, during that second chorus, just stick out that microphone for everybody to join you. So it's like first one, nail it. Second one, build up to the second chorus. Everybody loves that hook. And then stick that microphone out there. Still keep performing it, but you don't need to do that right now. I'm sprung, dog. She got me. Got me doing things I never do. If you ain't been, I'm telling you. Here's the thing, Jeremy. Yes, if you follow the rules of karaoke, which of course I have codified and tabulated for everyone's enjoyment. Like don't pick long songs, but also pick a song that the crowd will react to that we had that last night. You don't pick a song that nobody knows this song, man. So now we're listening to four minutes of you sing a song that no one's, like everyone's on their phone. I'm not gonna lie, I feel like Jeremy would do that. You brought the energy down. Never. There's a deep cut from this album. Absolutely not. No way. I've got a fresh lineup. I would never do that. Fresh outfit, but to have the parking lot on, smash. I had a little bit of cherry picking going on, let's be honest. Plus, I got a Chevy with a 454. You know about that 454 thing? Mike Ryan, I would like you. In honor of your birthday, to sing yourself happy birthday as Jonathan Zaslow. I don't know. That's like such a downgrade from what I've been doing. Sing happy birthday as Jonathan Zaslow, doing the Stephen A. Smith. What? Okay, the, all right. Everybody should have to do their worst impression, singing happy birthday to Mike Ryan. I'll do my Bill Simmons, singing happy birthday. Look, that's not the way that birthdays work. You don't make. Make me do things. That's not a way. Dave Damoshek, that's not how a birthday works. Do you know how a birthday works? Happy birthday. I make the request. I make the request. What's your request? My request is, let's cue up the Jonathan Bailey audible. Oh, yeah. I got an idea. I got an idea, because I love Dave Damoshek's voice. Everyone in the audience certainly does. And I don't know if you've heard this clip, Dave. I'm going to play it for you in the audience.

look at me and be surprised to hear this i happen to be a vigorous lovemaker so that would never happen to me this is the dan levatar show so last night i went to the miami heat pre-season home opener and guys i think we've been underselling how good the heater oh my god they're going to be so good look before anyone i get it it's pre-season but you see things that make you think oh that's what it's going to look like and i actually have a couple of observations a top five if you will observations from last night's game some olis first oli he's still method to count it takes it takes a while to deprogram it jack nicholson was the same way in uh cuckoo's nest yeah oh i i saw a guy in the elster lobby who was barefoot with his foot on the couch was it vin baker no i i didn't know whether i should say something or not you should have i should have said something right i feel like a coward put your damn shoes on oh i so that's an observation from seeing because i was on the on the way to you oh i lie the miami heat pre-season home opener i saw a guy in the elster lobby who was he did the unthinkable they sold a sponsorship for the game ball the game ball is now delivered by fedex so they hell yeah at center court they come out with a fedex box open the box the ball's inside it and i just thought man is that there's nothing safe well the heat they've done that before they have yeah multiple seasons they've done that because it's just another day in the life of the goddamn boss i knew that for sure i pay attention oh i lie rumors of clay thompson's defensive demise are greatly exaggerated i was that dude last thing you notice was swatting down balls and and deflections and moving his feet and i was like that guy looks pretty spry out there that's the thing that's crazy right now is i think it's because there's he doesn't want to be the weak link on that group of five and he clearly is the weak link in that group of five and so he's out there to show like you don't need to always play pella in this spot i could still play defense and we're not gonna be forced to not be able to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to not be able to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to not be able to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to not be able to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense and we're not gonna be forced to play defense the guy who's going to be the beneficiary of most of those baskets now is Giannis Antetokounmpo, getting him easy buckets, let alone his ability to create his own shot. Like, they're going to move. Number three, Giannis' pin downs are going to be unguardable. They were, so he said pin down screens for Klay Thompson, for Tim Hardaway Jr., for anyone who's coming off of that curl, like, yo, bitch, it's like, you're going to have to make a decision. Either this guy's going to get a bucket or this guy's going to dunk it. Pick your poison. Your pip, your poison. Pick your poison. Pick it. I mean, how likely is it? You know how sort of in the here and now of pro football, Sean McVay has sort of jumped the league a little bit by putting three tight ends out there. That's his preferred way, and defenses don't really know how to respond to it because of that. Because football has gone a certain way the last couple of years. How likely is it that the heat can sort of change the conversation about the way the Eastern Conference is flowing in terms of style of play? Can they just go big on everybody? For all the concern, all the hand-wringing, like, what are they going to do, have two seven-footers out there? Can that work and sort of change the way you have to play basketball? Is that a winning path because no one else is able to, or the other side of that is can the Sixers do it because they now have LeBron and Embiid and can match that? Yes and no. So the heat, I think, they're going to open with Giannis and Bam. They're going to close with Giannis and Bam. But in the middle, they're going to alternate a lot. They alternated a lot last night, and they obviously didn't play in the second half. They only played in the first half. So yes and no. I think there's still going to be long stretches where it's like one of those guys and four shooters out there on the floor. They'll have that a lot going for them. The Sixers is different because they don't have the shooting. That's the interesting thing to me is if you look at the Sixers roster, they have good shooters. They have streaky shooters. They don't have, like, a crazy knockdown, never leave them alone. They've got a type of shooters that if the guy misses his first couple, defenders are going to start sagging. So I'm very interested to see either who for the Sixers is going to make a shooting leap or how Nick Nurse is going to figure it out. But I digress. Got to go to my number. Two-point observation from last night. Jovich threw a BS lob to Giannis who caught it awkwardly in the paint in the first quarter and everyone's asshole puckered up. Because he did that weird, like, his legs are really wide apart and his knees are kind of almost knocking as he's trying to scramble to pick up the ball. And it was just like, ah! Because in my mind, I saw it happen. It was like, yeah, the guy's amazing. And then kaput. I don't know which one to shoot. My number one observation from last night's Miami Heat game. The play where Giannis, they're running the break. Tim Hardaway Jr. is leading. He's coming down the right side. Giannis is, like, maybe a step behind half court, screaming, get me the ball. Tim Hardaway throws it to him. He takes, like, two dribbles. Left hand dunk over, I believe it was Eve Missy and one. It was 11. But, like, the way he covers ground so quickly, it's breathtaking. It was breathtaking to watch. I was sitting on media row and there was a couple of times where everyone was just kind of looking at each other like, Jesus Christ, this is going to be different. Yeah, that's a dunk right there. It's amazing. No, I mean, he's going to be so good in this offense. And he even spoke after the game about he needs to kind of get used to playing this fast because he's never played like this before. And this is a different supporting cast. Like, I'm not going to immediately before they've even played a game. Say it's the best supporting cast. He's won a championship. Like, obviously, you have Drew Holiday and those guys at the height of their powers. That's the best one. But what he has now is it allows him to play differently. Oh, no. And what? We're doing it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, we're doing that thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've lost Dave. We've lost maybe everybody. Mike, I'm going to say it to you like this. Everyone's going to listen to this segment and say, oh, here they go. The Heat, Homers, whatever. No, we're going to be right. We're going. Dog, there was a point last night where I was looking up at the banners and I said, they're going to move those numbers over because that seven is going to go up there. That seven's going up there. Yeah, it is. It's going. And in the corner, there will be a Goran Dragic. Yeah. I heard on the radio some buzz for the Indiana Pacers' chances of getting out of the East. I mean, this is a fascinating Eastern Conference all of a sudden, right? Yeah. I mean, the number of. I mean, the reigning champion, one of the most iconic championship runs that we've seen in any sport in the last decade, at least from the Knickerbockers. And it's funny that given the largesse of New York City team high profile, that that isn't the buzz that the Knickerbockers. Can they repeat? It's more about who can survive this Eastern Conference, right? I mean, I thought the Pacers kind of had this season in mind with their roster management last year. But the concern is not just Halliburton coming off an injury. But he had a weird recovery. And people aren't exactly sure if he's going to return to form. Yeah, he had shingles. He caught shingles. But also, like, he had a reaction in the medication and forced him to gain some weight. And he didn't look like he was in playing shape. And that was just a couple months ago. Yeah, I think part of this verve for the Pacers is based off the last time we saw them when they were good, right? Which is during the finals. But people forget they were like a lower-seeded team that had to go on the road and win a. A couple of series in order to get to the finals. And there's a level of almost amnesia people get when a team does well in the playoffs. It's like, yeah, but your regular season wasn't great. It reminds me on the player level, like Gabe Vincent, the year that he went to the finals. He was incredible in that playoff run. But it's like, he signed with the Lakers. Oh, they got a shooter. I'm like, you haven't watched Gabe Vincent. Yeah, he was just hot. He just got hot at the right time. And so I'm not saying the Pacers are like, oh, I'm not selling on them. But I'm just saying in terms of. And excitement about them. They're going to there's going to be an adjustment there that they've got to do. And then they've got to be superlative in a way that they weren't. Well, who are then the for all the buzz around various teams? Boil it down for us real quick here. Who are the teams that can realistically get all the way through the East and get to the finals? I know you have to jump to the last page of the novel here that hasn't even been cracked yet. But still do your best. You told us, by the way, you said it. And the knickerbocker knickerbockers were not the clear cut favorite there. I at least that's where he slipped up in good shape here. You're not your pal. Dave's never going to slip up there with knickerbockers. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Tony, you know that moment at a party or a tailgate? Where everything just sort of clicks. I know it well. It's usually when I show up, everybody goes crazy. Yeah, you usually take all the credit for it, but it's because Tony usually walks in with Cuervo. I walk in like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cuervo is a thing that turns hanging out into this is the night. It has that effect on people. It does. You usually take the credit for it. But again, it's the Cuervo effect. It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up, hooting and hollering. Keep it Cuervo. Keep it Cuervo, baby. Dan Levitar. Let's throw it to my boy Jeremy Taché, who's sidelined right now. Tash money. What you got for me? Jeremy Taché. Thanks, Jax. This is the Dan Levitar Show. You said it when it was murky at best for Brunson and company, and you said, "That's the team. Forget about the Celtics. Forget about everybody else. That's the team that's going to get the most money." That's the team that's going to get the most money. That's the team that's going to get to the finals." And so it was. So now, do it again. I mean, who can survive this Eastern Conference for all the buzz around various teams? I think it's. Tell us the handful. The handful. If you're going to have a hiccup, you want it to be on bockers. That's for sure. That's right. The Knicks are still number one in the Eastern. Knickerbocker, OG Ananobi. Number two, I'm going to go with. ago you didn't answer my question i did i just said the knicks he said the knicks are at the top it was red alert talk about intriguing talk about intriguing teams and all that but what teams can actually get through it are you saying the heat are one of those teams that would that you would say yeah i could see that yeah get into the yeah yeah dave here's how it works you ask me a question yeah let me answer the question it's not one of my head two oh i thought you were going on to number two on your other list no list of teams you already finished that list that list is done number one was that left-handed dunk by yannis over emisi oh so you're now into into my list i'm answering your question take it away i mean i i the knicks are are my clubhouse leader and then other than next i would say the heat i would say the sixers and this is going to be controversial the toronto raptors i agree with you wholeheartedly toronto raptor amin amin had a great raptors take and it wasn't just that because i'm on with the raptors i like that i like that call a lot but we were watching a commercial for the nhl and marshawn lynch was featured oh yeah and he was uh he was in the crowd and he was and marshawn lynch has had this very interesting post-playing career right where he went from like the anti-media guy surly surly mean uh to to people very short in interviews to being this great character great personality yeah opens up and is just known for having fun amin had a great call that i fully agree with i think quiet leonard is the next marshawn lynch i think when he's done playing you're gonna see a guy with great personality and smiles and like having fun the fun guy it's a good take yeah he is a fun guy uh did you guys see him getting interviewed by somebody in toronto where they just like harmlessly asked him if he was getting any free meals around toronto and he just was like nope nothing not getting anything free no ncaa violations here dave well i want to ask you lynch well wait a second your your list there the thing that's controversy you said it's the celtics so the celtics cannot realistically get to the finals this year i don't think so no i don't even think they get to the conference finals you can put that all right there's your clip el hassan i don't think the celtics can get to the finals el hassan no finals for celtic not even the conference final el hassan celtics sux at least four teams and you didn't name the pacers as one of the teams that could get to the finals but they apparently are a factor as well but the celtics and pacers are five six ish in your book yeah and and i would throw atlanta there too you also haven't named the calves or the pistons or the hornets and i don't believe that any of those are capable of of getting there personally but those are teams like the pistons were the number one seed last year the calves still have both donovan mitchell and james harden the hornets were a team that in the second half of the year was incredible and they made the move of lamello ball for naz reed which a lot of people believe is is obviously going to help them so my thing is this it's easier to count the bad teams in the east than to count the good teams all those teams you named are good the celtics are good they don't suck unless you're making an infographic in which case sux right but if we're talking about the the best yep the best of it's the four you said for sure that that's that's my that's the way i see it uh maybe i might change my mind like some people have changed their mind apparently we got some sound here i'm not sure that's what you're talking about uh being too glass half empty on miami so i watched some of their pre-season game it's granted it's pre-season yannis looks great i said the 14 minutes swung you swung you yeah this looks great i have no idea how him and uh bam are gonna play but obviously they're swing guys wiggins because um you could even you know you can see it from when you read this stuff and just in general like yannis just he creates open space for guys you still have to put the wall up if he has the head of steam and i just think wiggins is in a nice spot oh my gosh that that gives a voice to what dawned on me yesterday no one had considered that yannis can still be elite he he played 36 games last year in those 36 games he averaged 27.6 points 9.8 rebounds and shot 62 percent from the field it was maybe his most efficient and prolific year of his career when he was on the floor and everybody looked at 36 games and believed that all of those games that he was out was due to the fact that he was going to win the game and he was going to win the game due to just being banged up dude he was trying to get out of milwaukee like he was he was hurt but they were different types of injuries no let me tell you he was hurt for a few games but the end of the year was them sitting him right there was a whole fight about it there were reports about eric name who now covers the heat for the athletic but covered the bucks the last few years eric name told me we would come out to them warming up and yannis would go through these incredibly intense and cap everything with like windmill dunks and reverse dunks and shaking the rim and it was basically like his passive-aggressive way of telling everybody i'm fine i can play right now but they're not letting me so this idea that there's somehow been a slippage it reminds me of the dr dray line they said they say that dray fell off how my last album was a chronic it was like yeah man last time you saw me i was incredible was a chronic there you go beat me to it mike he forgot about dray you don't do that don't forget about dray i wanted to ask mike on your birthday and happy birthday um i'm still waiting for you to sing it to yourself as jonathan zaslow but all right steven a smith i'm curious oh that'd be good too um i can grant you one birthday wish a hurricanes national championship this year or you know january a miami heat title no that's not in springtime or a time machine in which you can travel to whatever concert in music history whoa but only one only one and what if i then say you don't get the opportunity for the other options oh ever so like ever again ever again so i don't leave the hurricanes a chance no if the correct canes if you choose the canes you're ruling out the heat for say the next decade you can't they will definitely not win a time any bands on youtube dude you gotta go okay yeah i'm going to go with the canes i'm going canes especially if like you're writing them off for a decade and i don't leave their title chances to uh to chance and mario cristobal no give me the canes championship all day i you will never see me happier in my entire life than when the canes get number six can i can i just say that the a time machine that can only take you one time and it only takes the dmx at woodstock concert like that sounds like a shitty time machine you're talking about dmx at what you complain about my time machine if you don't know what you're talking about you're talking about my time machine if you want to get a time machine go get your own goddamn machine i i just offered this one to mike ryan as a birthday gift because i'm an empath and i'm a generous soul and i want him to have a happy birthday and you're bellyaching about the quality of my time if you're an empath give him a time machine that actually gives him something good like being able to get some stocks invested or or predictive of a super bowl come on come on come on that's not the way that a dave damashek hypothetical works what that's not the way a dave damashek hypothetical works i know that's why it needs work because he's an impact championship or you get in at the beginning of bitcoin championship no come on now although if i got in at the beginning of bitcoin we might have already won a championship because a lot of that money would have gone to the roster it's funny like people who invested in bitcoin like oh i got in early and now it's like worth you know thirty thousand dollars or whatever like that's cool but it's like it's not actual money until you cash it right like you could be bitcoin rich but you're just holding on to it so not you're not actually able to like have yachts and stuff right i if i i assume if i did get in early enough i would have sold a good chunk of it i assume that you sell and maybe you can hold on to some but i think you would sell most sell most yeah if you want to be at the perfect time at its peak of course like when's the peak though the peak was like a couple years ago yeah but then but then like while you have it when it hit three thousand dollars of bitcoin you might have thought oh my god this is the peak you might have thought oh my god this is the peak but it like no i would have but it like no i would have but it like no i would have known no i would i i would have nailed it i known no i i would have nailed it i known no i i would have nailed it i would have known exactly when to get out i would have known exactly when to get out i would have known exactly when to get out i would have been like hold you guys diamond would have been like hold you guys diamond would have been like hold you guys diamond hands hands hands you guys ever think about like that like you guys ever think about like that like you guys ever think about like that like this time travel construct of like this time travel construct of like this time travel construct of like when i go back am i just is it just me when i go back am i just is it just me when i go back am i just is it just me me and sitting him down and say look me and sitting him down and say look me and sitting him down and say look because i could see here's the messed up because i could see here's the messed up because i could see here's the messed up queen at live aid wembley i could see queen at live aid wembley i could see queen at live aid wembley i could see myself sitting down with younger me and myself sitting down with younger me and myself sitting down with younger me and saying you need to take what little saying you need to take what little saying you need to take what little money you have money you have money you have and investment bitcoin and investment bitcoin and investment bitcoin dude they made a move that scene is dude they made a move that scene is dude they made a move that scene is recreated i can watch that i can go home recreated i can watch that i can go home recreated i can watch that i can go home right then make like a tree and get out right then make like a tree and get out right then make like a tree and get out of here and i'd smack myself it's leave of here and i'd smack myself it's leave of here and i'd smack myself it's leave you idiot i i could see that happening you idiot i i could see that happening you idiot i i could see that happening to me and it's scares me it terrifies me if i'm being honest don't mess with the don't go into the past that's the cardinal rule why you're going to disrupt everything that happens after you're not going to be sitting where you are you understand i mean the lessons taught to us by the terminator series the airtight logic of one and two of the terminator once you get past that it's a different story but once you settle into one and two it is airtight logic in the same on the same level of groundhog day everything that would happen kind of checks out but if you go into the past and you tamper at all if you have a conversation with past amin present amin is not sitting in the chair that he's sitting in right now you understand that don't you yes but i'm all right with that and also i think that about that butterfly effect that whole cautionary that ashton kutcher that amy smart great fans big follow amy smart smart i think that whole cautionary tale about time travel thing dave is it's like that's what they tell you so that you don't want this thing that's awesome like oh it's really terrible you don't know what might happen like no it's i'm good with it i'm all right it's a wonderful life yeah that's what they tell you who are the conspirators filling your head with this with this to so that you don't get into the time machine it's the people that they're trying to keep it from us someone probably got in the time machine given the current state of affairs absolutely it probably already happened what a future where biff is married it was corrupt rich and corrupt and married to your slovenian and i mean no wait just for the record amin is questioning the the the people who have come up with the time machine and the rules and the warnings they have given to us you're already skeptical of those warnings yeah i think they're lying to us i think it's awesome i have a i have a hypothetical for chris cody okay she's guy kane's national title okay or ah cyclones win give me that dub one win it's a bad year so far one just one it's been brutal i'm a fun guy tony you know that moment at a party or a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks i know well it's usually when i show up everybody goes crazy yeah you usually take all the credit for it but it's because tony usually walks in with queer walking like this yeah yeah yeah cuervo is a thing that turns hanging out into this is the night it has that effect on people it does you usually take the credit for it but again it's the cuervo effect it's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up hooting and hollering keep it cuervo the cuervo baby
