Speaker 5: It's fact over five thousand coaches and administrators have graduated

Speaker 5: from their master's program. Find out more at CUI at

62
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 5: edu slash coaching. Did you know in the nineteen forties

63
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 5: the Phillies like almost and actually did sort of change

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 5: their name to the Blue Jays. Interesting a fan contest

65
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 5: was held to find a new nickname because the team

66
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 5: was so terrible, had spent literal decades of losing, were

67
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 5: a punchline to all the other Major League Baseball clubs.

68
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 5: So missus Elizabeth Crooks submitted the name blue Jays, the

69
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 5: team designed and actually used and had a blue Jay

70
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 5: patch on their uniform for two seasons, but the uniform

71
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: still said Phillies on the front. So while they were

72
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 5: sort of the blue Jays, they weren't the blue Jays.

73
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: And then they ended up winning the Pennan in nineteen

74
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 5: fifty they did the blue Jay and leaned into the

75
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 5: Phillies fully once again.

76
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: It's interesting. Yesterday when we were walking around the stadium,

77
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: I noticed and remembered that at the turn of the

78
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: last century, the Brooklyn Dodgers were named the Brooklyn Superbus,

79
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 3: which is a pretty interesting name.

80
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: I kind of like it better than the Dodgers.

81
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 3: Oh come, man, the Superbas no hats and the Superbus.

82
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 3: It is superb. How good are you? We're not good.

83
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: See we're superb, that's how good. I was like, who

84
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 3: the hell are the Superbus? I know they had the

85
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: B on the hat, but the name of the team

86
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: was the the Superbas.

87
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 2: Or the in cred Ables in cray able.

88
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 3: All right, it is time for criicckets. Everybody coming this crickets.

89
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: Come make it quick, y'all.

90
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,119
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, last night a very special night in the city.

91
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: And to see you DoD Dodgers and Phillies in the

92
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 3: NLDS Game one Sunday in the city of brotherly loved Lawyers.

93
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: One of the greatest baseball players that any of us

94
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 3: have ever seen. In fact, he is the greatest baseball

95
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 3: player any of us have ever seen. It's hard not

96
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: to take it for granted. Show Al Toddy, we'll be

97
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 3: on the mound in the series opener. Here is Dave

98
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: Roberts after the win versus the Reds last night, very

99
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: happy while they were partying in the batting cages, not

100
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: in the clubhouse area.

101
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 6: You know, guys stayed positive, stayed within in themselves, kept

102
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 6: taking good at bats, and you know, Yoshi stepped up,

103
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 6: you know, once again, and Addison pitches that first inning,

104
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 6: but you know he was locked in and for him

105
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 6: to get us into the seventh was huge, and us

106
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 6: tack on offensively, defensively, we're playing great, and you know

107
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 6: it's good to see Rookie finish that game too.

108
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 7: Is Rokie your closer now?

109
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

110
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 6: I trust and he's gonna be pitching and leverage. So

111
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 6: that was you know, the more you pitch guys and

112
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 6: play guys, you learn more. So like I said about Yamamoto,

113
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 6: I don't think the moment's going to be too big

114
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 6: for rookie.

115
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 8: I mean every year is different. But how far do

116
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 8: you think this team can go? And would you like

117
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 8: to get back to the World Series and play the

118
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 8: Yankees again?

119
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 6: I think we can. We can win it all. I

120
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 6: think we're equipped to do that. We certainly have the pedigree,

121
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 6: we certainly have the hunger. We're playing great baseball, and

122
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 6: in all honesty, I don't care who we play, I

123
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 6: just want to, you know, be the last team standing.

124
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 7: Just what have you seen out of the offense the

125
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 7: last couple of nights to kind of keep piling on runs,

126
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 7: finding different ways to score like they did kind of

127
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,119
Speaker 7: in and then the later innings today.

128
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 6: I think that what we're seeing is, you know, winning pitches,

129
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 6: using the whole field, fighting and you know, not trying

130
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 6: to just slug. I think we're taking team at bats,

131
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 6: situation Situationally, we've been fantastic and even roared at the bottom.

132
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 6: You know, whether it's a sacrifice, the fight to slap

133
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 6: an O two double to the other way to get

134
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 6: on base. You know, we're just doing things, whether it's

135
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 6: a sack fly, we're doing whatever it takes. Even show

136
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 6: hey in the situation getting a guy over to allow

137
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 6: set the stage for Mookie. So just team baseball, team at.

138
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 7: Bets and then in that eighth inning, just kind of

139
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 7: what were you seeing at an Emmett, What prompted you

140
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 7: to kind of make the move there, and kind of

141
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 7: how do you view him going forward after this?

142
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 6: You know, I just yeah, I mean, I still I

143
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 6: trust him. It was his first kind of real cracket

144
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 6: kind of late leverage. He wasn't sharp, but I believe

145
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 6: in him, I really do. And I think for me,

146
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 6: is you know, to think that he can get through

147
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 6: Benson although he had count leverage, to then feel like

148
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 6: he can get through mcclaim, he would have been over

149
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 6: thirty pitches, and I just didn't think the stuff was

150
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 6: a sharp And so for me, I just kind of

151
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 6: had a gut feeling that, you know, give Vessie a

152
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 6: chance to get count leverage versus Andrew Hall or if

153
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 6: they leave Benson in And I liked him against McClean

154
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 6: and then Freedom, So that's kind of my thought. And

155
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 6: you know, but Emmatt did a fine job. It's just

156
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 6: kind of just it just wasn't sharp tonight.

157
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 9: Mookie's turn around this year has just been kind of insane.

158
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 9: Can you just kind of talk about what kind of

159
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 9: player he is to have that start and then now

160
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 9: come through like he always has and be one of

161
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 9: the best players in the world.

162
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 6: I think it started when he just kind of just

163
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 6: gave up on chasing, you know, having a career year,

164
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 6: you know, chasing an MVP or whatever it was. I

165
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 6: think he just kind of was resolved to just let

166
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 6: that go, play for the present and the future and

167
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 6: play to help the team win. And I think that

168
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 6: just took a little bit a lot of pressure off him,

169
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 6: and then everything kind of unveiled and he got to

170
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 6: be the player that he was and freed himself up.

171
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 6: And so, yeah, he's playing fantastic baseball.

172
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 5: That's a good amount of stuff, meaty, but full of

173
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 5: great information.

174
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 3: We need to have it. We need to get everybody

175
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 3: ready for the Dodgers. JJ Reddick, says Lebron Jays Terryo

176
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,479
Speaker 3: Marcus Smarts. Kleeber will not play in the Laker preseason

177
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 3: game tomorrow versus the Suns in Palm Desert.

178
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 5: The hell I bought my great grandparents tickets to that.

179
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: They will still see the premier player for your Los

180
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 3: Angeles Lakers and the franchise player, which is Luka Doncic,

181
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: face of the league.

182
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: According to DeAndre Ayton.

183
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 3: Could end up being a point of contention for a

184
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: jealous and petty Lebron James and Lebron James camp.

185
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: We can only hope.

186
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,119
Speaker 10: I know Lebron's battling a glute injury, but if I'm Genie,

187
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 10: I can't be happy that we're going on this tour

188
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 10: around Southern California Vegas, doing the whole preseason thing, putting

189
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 10: the Lakers out there on display, and Lebron's gonna be

190
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 10: riding the bench with the sun.

191
00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: Well, his son might pleasure.

192
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 5: It's probably gonna play a lot, oh boy, And I

193
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 5: would wonder, as he has shared on multiple podcasts and

194
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 5: with multiple interviews, on multiple interviews, now is he going

195
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 5: to be out there swinging the club in Palm Desert?

196
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 5: Is it going to be trying to get out, you know,

197
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 5: on one of those fancy courses all the Lakha or

198
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 5: something of the Madison Club, one of those fancy.

199
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: Morning side exclusive spots.

200
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 5: Not good enough to play in an exhibition game for

201
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 5: three minutes, but good enough the cruise around in play eighteen.

202
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 3: Well, we'll see what happens with the Laker preseason tomorrow.

203
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 11: In the desert, people said, if you ever get into

208
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 11: in my life, and I love everything about it. I

209
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 11: think the best thing that I've gotten out of it,

210
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 11: besides like the how competitive and hard it is and

211
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 11: the mental challenge, which I love. Anything that's mentally challenging,

212
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 11: I love. Well, how just you just get away from

213
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 11: the world. You out there on the green, no phones,

214
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 11: no phone. My phone stays in the cart the whole time.

215
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 11: I check it from time to time. But it's just

216
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 11: like I play my music. I'm out there with my guys,

217
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 11: you out there and just in the world, and I

264
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,600

00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,440

266
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,520

00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,720

271
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 8: four sacks, the pressures, the the way he impacted the game.

272
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,320

274
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,160

275
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 3: A little bit of an understated Jim Harbaugh. This week

276
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: gonna be a great quarterback matchup. USC has a bye week,

277
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 3: u c l A home on Saturday versus Penn State

278
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: Nitney lyons Or only a twenty five and a half

279
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 3: point favorite. Uh, that line might move though, now that

280
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: the blueout has been announced.

281
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: Could could go up the twenty seven and a half.

282
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: I thought it would go the other way. But now

283
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: this is what we had Don McClain on to talk about,

284
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 3: and he's gonna come on in the next segment the

285
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: NCUBLEA Tournament.

286
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 12: Matt.

287
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, they have talked about expansion and it sounds like

288
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 5: now it's gonna happen. It's not finalized, but the proposed

289
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 5: format with the television partners is to expand from sixty

290
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 5: eight to seventy six eight games expected, and they will

291
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 5: add it to what is known as the First four.

292
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 5: It'll become the First eight set of four games featuring

293
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 5: the four lowest seeded automatic qualifiers and the last four

294
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 5: at large teams in the NCAA tournament field. The new

295
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 5: first twelve, actually they're going to add eight, would be

296
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 5: referred to as the opening round, So you get twenty

297
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 5: four teams playing in twelve games over the first two days.

298
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 5: They would take place at two different sites, but a

299
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 5: way to get out of what's really some pretty ho

300
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 5: hum matchups in the first four might have one or

301
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 5: two good ones in there to what could be a

302
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 5: full on, full fledged get to Vegas a day early

303
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 5: first round of the tournament.

304
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: So we'll see how that plays out. And we haven't

305
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: talked hockey well in weeks, maybe months, but here we are.

306

Speaker 5: you pronounce his name, carries a nine million dollar average

311
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 5: annual day that would sugest he's one of the best

312
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 5: players in the league. It is the largest contract ever

313
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,600

315
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: and the amount of money that they spend.

316
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: That's fair.

317
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 3: Probably not who.

318
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 10: Think spends more money? That's a great question. The Anaheim

319
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 10: Ducks Are the Oregon Ducks the Organ Ducks?

320
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, you think so, though, No, I don't know. I mean, well,

321
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: the Organ how much they spend in nil is not

322
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 3: officially disclosed, so it's kind of hard to tell.

323
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 5: The Anaheim Ducks in twenty twenty. No, it is definitely

324
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 5: the Anaheim Ducks. They are going to spend eighty two

325
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 5: million dollars on players for the twenty five to twenty

326
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 5: six season. Do you think they would spend eighty two

327
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 5: million bucks on players at Oregon?

328
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, maybe it's the Organ Duck.

329
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 3: But I don't know. I don't know for sure. When

330
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 3: I found out how much the long snapper made at

331
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 3: Michigan State, my head almost rolled off my shoulder.

332
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: He's a hell of a launch snapper though.

333
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, but still, you know, guys did that for free

334
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 3: for years, not anymore. You're right. We'll be right back

Speaker 3: is a Baseball Net prep.

368
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, I know, and I wonder. I'm wondering Pee and

369
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 12: you and I talked about it off the ear if

370
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 12: people have noticed that you've forgot not for good, but

371
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 12: not including one of the top as I used to have.

372
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 12: And I guess we should address it now that I'm

373
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 12: no longer doing the Clipper shows. Unfortunately contract was renewed,

374
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 12: and yes they're moving in a different direction. But I

375
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 12: just want to say, you know, I work with so

376
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 12: many great people on that show. I did it for

377
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 12: over twenty years, starting with half John Heffner, who all

378
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 12: your listeners know, Micah King and those guys in the

379
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 12: front office, if you will, but a lot of camera people,

380
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 12: people on air that I worked with, a lot of

381
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 12: people behind the scenes. We did really good work for

382
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 12: a long time. And as you guys know, the business

383
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 12: is changing, and the Clipper shows have changed hands a

384
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 12: couple of times already, and so not surprising that they're

385
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 12: going in a different direction. But I just wanted to

386
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 12: make sure that I thanked all those people that I

387
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 12: work with for so long, especially Darryl Lewis, who produced

388
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 12: that show for almost as long as I was on it.

389
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 12: Did a great job and still continues to do a

390
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 12: great job on angels and other stuff he does. But yeah,

391
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 12: we're moving on. I won't miss the drive, but I'll

392
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 12: miss a lot of the people.

393
00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, out of yeah, I was going to say

394
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 3: that drive down the one A line.

395
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 5: It was one of the reasons to watch. It was

396
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 5: really the main reason to watch Clipper basketball.

397
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, to watch Don McClain and his insights before and

398
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: middle and after the game, and especially back when there

399
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 3: was different left leadership and Don used to do the

400
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 3: fourth quarter or do a different quarter with Ralph Lawler.

401
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 3: A lot of stuff. What is your I mean, we're

402
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: going to continue to talk and ask about the Clippers

403
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 3: and the Lakers and all that here on the show.

404
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 3: But what what, what do you think is the most

405
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 3: impactful thing you'll remember about working there, working with all

406
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 3: these different people, ownership changes, the whole crazy Donald Sterling story.

407
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 12: You know, I've thought about it, Pee, and I think

408
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 12: that that that one sticks out the most, was the

409
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 12: ownership change in that whole ordeal with Donald Sterling and

410
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 12: what happened and led to him being bounced out of

411
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 12: the NBA and Steve Baldmer coming in. I think I'll

412
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 12: remember that the most. I feel like those were you

413
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 12: know we used to goof around a lot on that

414
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 12: show in the early day, is because the Clippers weren't

415
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 12: very good, and so yeah, we used to have free

416
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 12: reign to do whatever we want. And it seemed like

417
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 12: once Steve Balmer got involved, he got serious because he

418
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 12: was spending money and bringing in good players, and they

419
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 12: had Chris Paul and Lob City and all that stuff,

420
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 12: and so it turned into more of a real basketball

421
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 12: show at that point. But it doesn't mean it was

422
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 12: better or worse. It just meant that it was more

423
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 12: serious because the Clippers were contenders. Unfortunately they haven't gotten

424
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 12: over the hump all these years, but it looks like

425
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 12: they have a chance this year. But yeah, I remember

426
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 12: a lot of that stuff, you know, from the playoff

427
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 12: games and uh it. But really that that's the one

428
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 12: time that really stands out if I think back over

429
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 12: twenty years.

430
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 5: So it's an interesting moment for them, don And you know,

431
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 5: you're I don't know how this thing is going to

432
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 5: get resolved. If it's going to get resolved, they don't

433
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 5: want to talk about it. Uh Yet everybody continues to

434
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 5: ask the questions. Do you think the league will come

435
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 5: out and make some sort of definitive statement. Do you

436
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 5: think they'll try to just ignore it and hope it

437
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 5: goes away? Ultimately? How do you think it ends with

438
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 5: the Clippers and Kawhi? And this Pablo Tory is not

439
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 5: given up. Man, He's now tying charity checks of one

440
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 5: point eight million to the Sandberg guy who ran the

441
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 5: company's charity fund that tied directly to Kuhi. Like it's

442
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 5: getting gnarly now.

443
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 12: It is, Matt, But I just have this weird feeling

444
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 12: that it just goes away. I mean, maybe there's enough

445
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 12: evidence that Adam Silver gets put in the bind and

446
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 12: he's got to come down with some with some punishment.

447
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 12: But here's what I wonder, and we don't know because

448
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 12: no one's really spoke on except for Cuban, but he's

449
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 12: not an owner anymore. Is Adam Silver getting pressure from

450
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 12: the other teams? That's the question, you know, is he

451
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 12: getting pressure from all these teams? Say, wait a second,

452
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 12: if they circumvented the cap, there has to be punishment

453
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 12: or else we're going to do it. So that's the

454
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 12: hard part in all this is what are all the

455
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 12: other teams thinking and saying to the NBA in Adam Silver,

456
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 12: Like you, there's enough evidence out there that you have

457
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 12: to punish him. But we'll see what happens.

458
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 3: Maybe Steve Bomber gives them somebody too.

459
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 2: That would work.

460
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 5: He's got enough of it, you know, maybe he could

461
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 5: give the WNBA some money and then that way, you know,

462
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 5: it's just kind of this three way deal.

463
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 12: That works out exactly exactly.

464
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 5: We were playing some sound from Laker Media Day last week.

465
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 5: I don't know it was earlier this week. Actually it

466
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 5: was DeAndre Ayton and he was talking about I don't

467
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 5: know if you were listening to the show at the time,

468
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 5: but the clip was basically ate and talking about the offense,

469
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 5: and he said, well, you know, it's a two man games,

470
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 5: it's me and Luca, And then he talked about how

471
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 5: they were in the same draft and how lucas the

472
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 5: face of the league and how his job is to

473
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 5: make it easy for Luca. Do you think there's any

474
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 5: that there could be any issue with Lebron and his

475
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 5: Maxi Kleeber then came in and gave that same sort

476
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 5: of thing and tried to circle back and bring up

477
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 5: Lebron as well. Do you think that in his twenty

478
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 5: third season, Lebron is the kind of person that would say, yeah,

479
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 5: I'm forty years old, it's you know, this the guy?

480
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 5: Or do you think that could be an issue for

481
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 5: the Lakers.

482
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 12: I don't think he's the kind of I don't think

483
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 12: he's at the point in his career. Matt Well he'll

484
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 12: come out and say anything. The question is in the

485
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 12: locker room what's being said. But I do think this.

486
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 12: I think Lebron, I mean, twenty three years is incredible

487
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 12: for any guy in any sport to still be playing.

488
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 12: I think what Lebron really wants and he's a smart

489
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 12: guy what he wants is this to transition into Lucas team,

490
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 12: but he wants to win going out. And I do

491
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 12: think for all the and I've said this, and you

492
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 12: guys have said it for years, how polarizing Lebron is.

493
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 12: But I do think that, you know, listening to him

494
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 12: all these years, I do, I would bet that that

495
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 12: is his stance that, look, yeah, I'm not the main guy,

496
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 12: Luca is, but let's win this thing before I retire.

497
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 12: That has to be kind of his stance on all this.

498
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 3: You've mentioned it, don don McLean joining us right now

499
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 3: on Petrosen money. The Clippers do look pretty good, like

500
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 3: that do all the time going into the season. We

501
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 3: talk about the Lakers at nauseum. Everybody does which team

502
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: looks better going into the season right now?

503
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 12: I think the Clippers are, assuming everyone's healthy and ready

504
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 12: to go. They're so deep. But what they did in

505
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 12: the offseason with Beal and Brook, Lopez and John Collins,

506
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 12: I mean they are deep one through fifteen pretty much,

507
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 12: and so we know things go wrong. We know guys

508
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 12: get hurt, we know guys' rest, we know all that.

509
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 12: And if you have a really deep team, your margin

510
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 12: for air becomes much bigger. And I just think the

511
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 12: Clippers have a really big margin for air with the

512
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 12: roster that they built in the improvement Zuba about how

513
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 12: the good he's gotten hardened kind of not resurrected, but

514
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 12: had a monster year last year, and so I just

515
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 12: think they got all the pieces. But the biggest thing

516
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 12: to me is the depth that they have across the board.

517
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 5: The it's not depth, but it's I guess it's a

518
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 5: collection of either a past accomplishments. Right with the Lakers

519
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 5: when because to me I look at it, I'm like, yeah,

520
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 5: that they really needed Marcus Smart. So is Marcus Smart

521
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 5: still the player that I think he is done a

522
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 5: former Defensive Player of the Year because they need that

523
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 5: so desperately since nobody else is playing any defense on

524
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 5: the perimeter. And I mean, like we talked about before

525
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 5: when they signed eight and I was like, man, I

526
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 5: remember that Ayton and that can be really good if

527
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 5: he gets his head on right. Yeah, more likely or

528
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 5: less likely that those are the guys we are going

529
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 5: to see.

530
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 3: See.

531
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 12: Here's the thing, man, there's guys that are good defenders

532
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 12: that aren't talked about as being really good defenders. Why

533
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 12: because they're in a culture of non defense. And I'm

534
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 12: not saying that's the Lakers right now, but my point

535
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 12: is if your culture across the board in that locker room,

536
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 12: starting with the head coach, is we are going to guard.

537
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 12: We're going to be a good defensive team, then you

538
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 12: get the best out of guys on the defensive end,

539
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 12: even guys that aren't known as good defenders. If everyone

540
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 12: else is guarding and you're the only one that isn't, well,

541
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 12: either you're not going to play or you're going to

542
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 12: really guard. And so I think it's important for JJ

543
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 12: Reddick to set the tone that, look, we got enough

544
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 12: offense with all these guys, we have to be really

545
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 12: good defensively. And if that's the case, I think a

546
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 12: guy like Marcus Smart could raise back to the level

547
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 12: that he was at at one point as a defender.

548
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 5: Don McLain with us see believe it or not. While

549
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 5: we are in the midst of the Dodgers march to

550
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 5: a World Series championship, basketball is back. The Lakers are

551
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 5: doing their standard barnstorming tour the Desert Vegas, Santa Barbara,

552
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 5: all that sort of thing. The Clippers will get going

553
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 5: in about a week. Is it the usual. Is it

554
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 5: the Celtics in the East, Is it the Thunder in

555
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 5: the West, or do you think it's a little more

556
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 5: wide open and it's not that similar.

557
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 12: I think the East is wide open. I mean wide

558
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 12: open because no Jason Tatum, he's saying it may come

559
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 12: back this year, but it ain't going to be like

560
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 12: before the All Star Break. I wouldn't imagine. So I

561
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 12: think Cleveland's got a really good chance. I think Orlando

562
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 12: improved themselves this offseason. The West is hard. I mean

563
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 12: you have to say that the thunder of the Favorite,

564
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 12: but like the Clippers got better, the Lakers got better,

565
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 12: teams have gotten better, the Warriors even got better. And

566
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 12: so yes, yes, the Thunder of the Favorite right now.

567
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 12: But I think the West is going to be incredibly competitive,

568
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 12: and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the Thunder

569
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 12: the number one seed in the West.

570
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 3: Down by the time you stop calling college basketball games,

571
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 3: the tournament's going to have more teams than are playing

572
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 3: in Division One. They're expanding the tournament. It looks like

573
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 3: they're talking about expanding the tournament even more. I don't

574
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 3: know if these neutral site arenas are going to attract

575
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 3: fans for you know, the fortieth seed. But what do

576
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 3: you make I mean, obviously there's money to be made

577
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 3: with postseason college sports. We see it with the football playoff,

578
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 3: and the tournament is a huge money maker. But is

579
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 3: this watering it down too much?

580
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 12: Well, you just said it.

581
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: Pee.

582
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 12: They don't care. They don't care if it waters it

583
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 12: down or not. They're going to make money off the

584
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 12: TV deal. Even if ten people show up to these

585
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 12: regional sites, they're still getting the TV money and that's

586
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 12: all they care about. And so it's unfortunate that that's

587
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 12: what it's come to in all of college sports, that

588
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 12: we don't care what the product really is as long

589
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 12: as we can make more money. But the tournament as

590
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 12: perfect as it is. You know, I think that the

591
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 12: first four in games are fine, but now you're stretching

592
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 12: it to even more of those.

593
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 3: A separate tournament for the tournament.

594
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, like it doesn't make any sense. We all

595
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 12: know why they're doing it, but you know, what's the fallout?

596
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 12: Are people not going to watch it? Probably not? So

597
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 12: why not we go ahead and do it? Make more

598
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 12: TV money?

599
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

600
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 5: I think you know, the way that it's being described

601
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 5: is that it would be twelve games, Like the opening

602
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 5: round isn't four, it's twelve. So it's a full on

603
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 5: two day, six games a day, And I guess the

604
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 5: one is I'm trying to sort. I don't know if

605
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 5: you want to call it putting lipstick on a pig

606
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 5: or glasses half full. I do feel don and I

607
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 5: don't know if you would agree. I feel like college

608
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 5: basketball is better. You know, the money that these guys

609
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 5: are getting paid. Some guys are staying back. It feels

610
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 5: like we got more teams that are a little bit better.

611
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 5: I really thought the tournament was incredibly compelling this last year.

612
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 5: Do you think that's fair, Like, hey, maybe more games

613
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 5: because I feel like it's a better product than we

614
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 5: had when these guys were all one and done and

615
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 5: it was.

616
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 12: Just but this is like an hour conversation mat you

617
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 12: know what I mean. It's like there's so many different

618
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 12: angles and ways to look at it. Is it better

619
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 12: that college basketball players are making over a million dollars

620
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 12: a year? Some would say yes, some would say no.

621
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 12: I do think you're right in the sense that it's

622
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 12: more competitive. Teams are better because you're playing with twenty

623
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 12: two and twenty three year olds. You're not playing with

624
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 12: eighteen year olds. So their experience, of matter how many

625
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 12: schools they've already been at, they understand college basketball because

626
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 12: been in it for four or five years, and so

627
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 12: that seems like it's going to continue. They're talking about

628
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 12: having this new five years no matter what. So you

629
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 12: don't have to have a grad year. There's no more

630
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 12: COVID year. So now if you get five years, like,

631
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 12: everybody's going to be old, especial if you're making money.

632
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 12: And so I think from that, just what you said, Matt,

633
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 12: that standpoint, I think the product is better because you

634
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 12: have guys that have been in college for longer.

635
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 3: Great stuff. The product's always better when Don McClain joins

636
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: the show, especially on a Thursday. True, well, I don't

637
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 3: know if it feels that way. Don enjoy the playoffs

638
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 3: and we'll talk next week. Thanks a lot for doing it, Okay, guys,

639
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: classy stuff on the Clippers too.

640
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: Indeed, you know me, I wouldn't have been classy. I'd

641
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 2: have been petty.

642
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 3: That's true.

643
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 2: That's a true statement.

644
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 3: I haven't handled the challenge thing that well.

645
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would have thought you'd have been a little

646
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 5: more gracious they are celebrating twenty years.

647
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,440

670
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,360

671
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 5: the d across the dirt.

672
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:30,400

676
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 5: to the face from Blake trying.

677
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 3: Oh, it was unbelievable.

678
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,439

00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 3: We're playing it on spots on Sports Center.

680
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 5: It was so it was a fire hose of champagne

681
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 5: to his face from trying, and it's definitely warning.

682
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 2: I mean it was like we truly was.

683
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 5: We've discussed it like it was like watching a woody

684
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 5: woodpecker or bugs Bunny show where this.

685
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,920

00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 2: Say explain.

687
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 3: You know a lot of frustration and that bullpen matters.

688
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,959
Speaker 3: So what a great day for the Dodgers yesterday. We'll

692
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 3: getting you ready with a cheese steak taste test or

693
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 3: some kind of Philly Philly accent comparison.

694
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: That's a good.

695
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 5: One, like a Rocky impersonation.

696
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 3: But right now it is time for the Dead Guy Birthday.

697
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 5: That Dead Guy pe one of the better ones. Jack

698
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 5: Parsons happy would have been one hundred and eleventh to

699
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 5: the and we've done him before, but god, I love

700
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 5: the story. American rocket scientist, inventor, occultist. Parsons born, raised,

701
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 5: died in Los Angeles. He was born Marvel white Side Parsons,

702
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 5: but he went by Jack. I should have done that.

703
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 5: I always wanted to be a Jack. I don't know

704
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 5: how you get Jack out of Marvel or white Side,

705
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 5: but he did. From a young age, he was way

706
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 5: into science fiction and space and the idea of traveling

707
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 5: to space, and he wanted to build rockets that could

708
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 5: reach the stars. And remember, back then it's pre Space Program,

709
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 5: nineteen twenties, nineteen thirties, it was a foolish thought that

710
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 5: rockets were anything more than a fantasy. But nineteen thirties

711
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 5: Jack Parsons began building and testing rocket engines with a

712
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 5: couple pals in Pasadena, like in a field, testing a rocket,

713
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 5: launching it to the skies, just a couple of dudes.

714
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 5: He never earned a college degree. His skills, though, in

715
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 5: chemistry and explosives made him and earned him entry into

716
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 5: the scientist community, where he was very respected. He was

717
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 5: the co founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which we

718
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 5: obviously know, well, we got some listeners in there, just there.

719
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 3: In a flint Ridge locket Yatamas.

720
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 5: Now JPL of course still and later would help build

721
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 5: rockets for NASA. He also helped start a company called Aerojet,

722
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 5: which made rocket engines for the US military. So despite

723
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 5: the lack of education, this dude knew what he was doing.

724
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 5: Parsons made a lot of important discoveries in rocket science.

725
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 5: His work basically laid the foundation for the space race

726
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 5: and future space exploration.

727
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 2: But a big butt well what happened.

728
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 5: Not brilliant scientist, but he was also a bit rebellious

729
00:37:58,960 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 5: and a little weird.

730
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 3: A guy that builds rockets and is brilliant is a

731
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 3: little rebellious and weird. Who would have guessed he had

732
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 3: a like a guy that has a rocket that comes

733
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: back to Earth and caught by two giant robot arms.

734
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 5: A little weird. He had a deep interest in the occult.

735
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 5: Oh yes, way into the supernatural.

736
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 3: Is this the guy with the weird church in Silver Lake?

737
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 5: This is our guy? Was that became close with l

738
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 5: Ron Hubbard. That's how we know Parsons. He joined a

739
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 5: group called the Ordo templey Orienteese the teachings of p

740
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 5: Aleister Crowley, the famous controversial occultist. He believed that science

741
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 5: magic and science and magic could work together. Exploring both

742
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 5: would help people reach their full potential. And it was

743
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 5: nineteen forty five when he meets l. Ron Hubbard, the

744
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 5: science fiction writer. Of course, for those that don't know,

745
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 5: I'm sure everybody does, but he's the founder of the

746
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 5: Church of Scientology. Hubbard also interested in the occult. He

747
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 5: and Parsons become close friends. They do magic together, series

748
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 5: of ceremonies called Babylon Working. Parsons believe they were going

749
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 5: to summon a powerful goddess to bring a new age

750
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 5: into the world. This is what you're dealing with in science. Anyway,

751
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 5: he trusted Hubbard. He entered a business deal basically gave

752
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 5: him all of his money and sadly, his girlfriend, Sarah Northrop.

753
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 5: They were investing in a boat selling company, but Hubbard

754
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 5: disappeared with the loot with Sarah. It crushed Parsons emotionally, financially.

755
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 5: Tried to sue to get his money back, couldn't and basically,

756
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 5: even though he continued to work in rocketry and magic,

757
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 5: he could not find stable work. The word was out

758
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 5: that he was a weird ho hanging out with Hubbard

759
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 5: into the occult, and the government, of course at that time,

760
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 5: suspicious of people for anything, let alone people that were

761
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 5: into the occult. He died in fifty two at thirty

762
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 5: seven years old, when his laboratory or he exploded during

763
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 5: an accident. Some though, say that Hubbard did it, and

764
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 5: that's what some say. They say, maybe maybe Jack Parsons

765
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 5: was murdered.

766
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 3: Wow, what a weird story.

767
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 5: That would have been one hundred fourteen today. But that's

768
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 5: Jack Parsons JP of JPL, that's the dude. That is

769
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 5: basically it's jet propulsion, but it was also Jack Parsons laboratory.

770
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 3: Well for the Alive Guy. Singer songwriter out of Athens, Alabama,

771
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 3: Britney Howard is only thirty seven years old. She got

772
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 3: started pretty young as far as being an everybody's line

773
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 3: of sight, a right tackle of a woman, half black.

774
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 3: Family home was in a junkyard and the family home

775
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 3: once burned down due to a lightning strike. She had

776

790
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 3: stuff twenty two twelve was Boys and Girls and became

791
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:08,880

798
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 3: on heavy rotation in the car?

799
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,040

Speaker 3: an alignment.

807
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,920

808
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 5: He's a left tackle, so you think she's more of

809
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 5: a right.

810
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,240

00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 3: is not as strongest. Big lady and a great singer.
