Today's episode of The Rhyner's Solo podcast on the Ringer podcast network is brought to you by State Farm just like basketball. The game of life is unpredictable.

The O's taken two or three from the socks. We'll get to that maybe a little bit later. I was worried about the Orioles pitching.

Well, after the first game of the season and then I realized, you know what, you've actually been more worried about the Red Sox pitching. I'll admit, even as a guy that's not as locked in as he used to be on that Red Sox transaction wire.

Your boy had to go deep in a baseball reference and be like, who's this converted reliever? Who's this guy? Are all the other starters quarantine? No, only one. Okay. All right. So get a teammate who can help you navigate the unexpected talk to a state farm agent today. Today's plan a little on tips and Mike Sando from the athletic last week. It is that we were hoping to have him on when his quarterback tier piece comes out as annual piece, which I think is an incredible reason.

Incredible read and 50 different NFL sources ranking all of the starting quarterbacks, 35 quarterbacks in total. So we do almost an hour with Sando and then we'll do a little quick life advice at the end. But before we do any of that, we get a welcome back our boy Kyle, who was traveling the world.

I don't know how the passport work. Where did you travel? I went right to Pekip's in New York and I stayed there, man. Outdoor pool. What do you guys get an above ground there? I saw some footage.

So no, there was a bullet. There was a in-ground pool and then my mom just made the jump knock down our above ground and she's waiting for them to dig right in ground. It's about time.

So you know, kidding. So you growing up, you weren't above ground guy. I wasn't even really a pool guy for a long time. But yeah, most of the friends had the above grounds. Yeah. There you go.

There's something about above ground pools. It's like you think you just know the person. Like, oh, they haven't above ground pool. Oh, okay.

Damn, I hate that. I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, like their kid got arrested three times. He stole the neighbor's car. Like, what are they having a above ground pool over there? Like, yep, like syrup in the house for some reason. Yeah.

I don't know what it is. People out there were the above ground pools. There's just some nasty nasty stereo.

A lot more ways to get hurt on above ground. You know, oh, yeah. I mean, I've mop my soul once in a while. Somebody last summer, somebody dove in a head first. It's like, you didn't even have to put signs up for that anymore because you thought everybody knew, but no, he was like, man, I really hurt my neck.

Dude, you're 25. I liked when people like upgraded their above ground pool situation to put like a wrap around deck on it. Yeah. And you're like, you know, it's still.

We're still above sea level folks, but you know what? You do whatever you're going to do. What is hot? So I'm not. Yeah, I'm not criticizing anybody for it, but I'm just saying that the above ground people out there, you know, you are.

There's a lot of assumptions made about you. Some fair, some unfair. So that's that's not cool. Let's talk coach tips. New New York, Nick's head coach, and I don't like it. I have been lucky enough to talk to a lot of people over the years.

I don't know that there's anyone that is more impressive, just talking basketball than Tom Thudeau. I'm serious. I've told the story before. So I don't repeat myself, but we were sitting together watching a game.

Inbound's play. I asked him about it. He gave me he ran through seven different variations of what you could have done defensively. And I was like, do I know anything about basketball? Don't answer that. But exonose game. I don't.

I don't know that I've ever talked to anybody. This is impressive as him. But to have him be the head coach of a Nick's roster that has maybe two pieces, although I could see him giving Frank Neelakino Max deal.

Two pieces. Mitchell Robinson, of course, RJ Barrett, Lester lottery pick. It feels a little bit like having radio head come by your house to jam and all you have is like Fisher price toys.

So let's run through tips resume. He was 32 years old when he started as an assistant 80, 990, 20 years in assistant.

Up into that final year were the Celtics in 2010, 20 years as an assistant. When he was in Boston as an assistant, a lot of people weren't laying out. I don't know if this guy's going to be the head coach, even though everybody thought he's brilliant, because it's more than just being basketball brilliant. It's managing the room. He goes to Chicago. There are immediately 62 and 20.

They were 41 and 41 the year before they had dang Rose Heinrich were kind of their top three guys and then tips gets there and it's Rose dang Noah and they brought over booze Carlos Booser who was 17 and 10.
