0:00.0	And away we go! Episode 554 of the Algoldi podcast. It is Thursday, April 20th, 2023. It is...
0:28.3	420. Happy 420 to those who celebrate. Hey, if you're a Washington DC sports fan, you need
0:36.5	to be doing a whole lot of what is done on 420. In order to, shall we say, numb the pain? You know,
0:43.7	we had major breaking news on Wednesday evening. The wizards announcing the firing of President
0:50.0	and General Manager Tommy Shepard. And then what happened on Wednesday night? The guy who Tommy
0:56.5	gifted to the Los Angeles Lakers by a trade this past January. Rui Hachimura. The wizards
1:02.9	dealt him for pennies on the dollar. That guy, he on Wednesday night, became the first Lakers player
1:10.8	to score at least 20 points as a reserve in back-to-back playoff games since Magic Johnson, as in
1:18.8	future commander's minority owner, Magic Johnson. In 1996, Rui did what had not been done since Magic
1:28.7	in 1996. Now, the Lakers did lose a 103-93 loss at the Memphis Grizzlies to even that first round
1:36.8	series in the NBA playoffs at one. But Rui Hachimura in 32 minutes, one second off the bench had 20 points,
1:45.5	five rebounds, and two assists versus no turnovers. Happy 420, numb the pain.
1:53.3	The Dan Washington Wizards. Yes, thank you, Stephen A Smith. Hello and welcome to this Thursday
1:59.6	installment of the Algoldee podcast. Coming up on the show, I will react to the wizards' surprising
2:06.0	firing of Tommy Shepard. Surprising, not because Tommy had done some bang-up job, but because
2:11.6	the wizards aren't exactly known for, shall we say, acting with urgency. Perhaps, finally,
2:17.6	there is some urgency with our NBA team. Perhaps, finally, the wizards are waking up to having been
2:24.2	mired in mediocrity and having been going nowhere for 40 plus years. But I also on this show
2:30.3	have a lot of commander's conversation for you. Next segment, the latest in the sale of the
2:36.0	team, including surreal audio of Brian Davis from an interview that he did on Wednesday morning.
2:44.3	Brian Davis, he supposedly has a $7 billion cash offer to buy the commanders. He definitely
2:52.1	has a highly questionable business past. I think that he's a total corny, but wait until you hear
	...
