It was all 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:42.120 the songs that they used. 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:44.800 The Barbara Seville brother right, the. 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.760 First ever released Looney Tunes cartoon nineteen thirties Sinking in 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.840 the Bathtub, which took its name from the popular song 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.400 you Guessed It Singing in the Bathtub from the nineteen 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.920 twenty nine Warner Brothers film The Show of Shows. 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:04.000 Hid for quick hits, some ms, quick hits. 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:04.760 I'll make it. 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:05.320 Quick, y'all. 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:15.520 Despite the freezing death storm, the Lakers are in Dallas 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:20.240 tomorrow night and they will play. They're twenty six and seventeen. 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:24.919 After losing to the Clippers last night, Luca returns to Texas. 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:29.760 Nico has left the building. Even with the weather, the 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.680 game will still be played in Dallas. 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:38.400 And that's just the uh, that's the backdrop in front 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.520 of the main story. P Because everybody knows who cares 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.120 what's going on in the games. We want to know 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.880 what's going on in Lebron's mos, right, And that's where 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:55.840 Shams Sharania comes in, saying, quote, the reality is we're 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.840 watching the end of a relationship, and this is what's 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:04.360 funny about ESPN, Like one of their staff writes a 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:09.680 story that gets all this traction, and then fifteen people 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:13.600 that work on the network claw and fight and scratch 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.040 to get their piece of it, Like, oh, Baxter can't 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.320 have all this shine. I got to get in on this. 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.039 And here's my lane, and here's your and here's Sean. 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.400 It's like Charlotte's Webb with all the baby spiders. 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.960 That's right, sham Sharannia is one of the baby spiders. 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.599 The reality is we're watching the end of a relationship 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.880 between Lebron and the Lakers. The end is near, however 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:39.680 you want to slice it. Last night, after the game, 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.560 he talked to the media and he was just his 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.480 typical douchey lebron self. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:47.200 What do you mean, I. 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.520 Don't really care about the reports, to be honest, seems 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:53.040 like you guys know me. You guys know since I've 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.200 been hearing my eighth year here in late twenty three years. 0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:00.920 It's gonna be another article tomorrow, you know, especially involved 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.040 in me. And at the end of the day, when 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:05.000 I came to this organization, my whole mindset was about 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:10.680 restoring you know, you know, excellence, you know, and you 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.520 know the things that I've seen growing up, you know, 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.840 with the Lakers. Obviously I didn't get an opportunity to 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.120 watch the showtime, but I know the history, you know, 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.520 and then the early two thousands with Shaq and Cobe 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.800 and then what Cob did and you know those couple 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.320 of runs with him and Pile. So you know, my 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.000 whole mindset was like, how can I get you know, 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.520 that feeling back to the Lakers organization where you know, 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.000 when the Lakers and the Knicks and the Bulls and 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.800 you know, the Celtics are good is great. So and 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.640 I was able to do that along with you know, 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.279 you know, fourteen sixteen other guys winning the championship, bringing 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:48.040 the championship here. You know, That's always been my mindset. 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:55.640 Quite frankly, I don't really care about articles. I really don't. 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.960 I don't care about stories. I don't care about podcasts 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.520 and all that type of don't They don't bother me. 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:07.600 I'm forty one years old and I watched golf every day. 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:09.279 Golf. 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.680 I don't care about an article. I don't care how 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:16.799 somebody feel about me. If you know me personally, and 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.120 then you know what I'm about. These guys know what 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:20.360 I'm about. And that's automatic. 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:23.920 Yeah, you know, golf is a Thursday through Sunday thing. 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.479 So I mean he is so addicted to golf that 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.919 he's every day old golf s, you know, on Monday, Tuesday, 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.800 and Wednesday until he can get to the tournament that 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:34.919 starts on Thursday. 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:36.760 You care what the media thought? 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:41.520 Why would he place proxies all over the. 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.280 Media to say nice things about him? 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.359 And why would he why would he share his resume? 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:49.279 You know, three years from forty one forty one now 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:54.400 brought a championship here, you did, but you know it's 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:56.800 been eight years, like you said, and outside of that 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:01.960 championship year, you've won two playoff series two so one 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:05.240 good run. That takes you seven years of basketball with 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:10.480 the Lakers and have those seven two playoff series wins. 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.840 Not sure that's restoring greatness. There's an article written every day. 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:16.760 Who gives it? I don't. 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:21.040 You've brought chaos in disdain, both of you. The Clippers 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:22.720 are twenty and twenty four, they're holding on to the 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.119 ten seat in the West, and they're coming. 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:26.400 That's coming. 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:28.480 They are coming. 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.960 They're one and a half games back of the Blazers 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.480 for the ninth spot. The Clippers are off until Sunday 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.320 when they host the Brooklyn Nets. 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.000 And there was report that a team came for Zoobs 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.760 p they offered a first round pick, and they offered 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:44.120 a first round pick swap, and the Cliffs said, no chance. 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.600 He's the only guy that Petros and Money show we'll 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.720 talk to. We gotta keep Zoobs on the roster. 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.120 We have his number and we don't abuse number. 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.280 The Rams are in Seattle on Sunday to facing the Seahawks. 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.880 The Rams are a two point dog, very exciting game there, 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.320 and we'll have the AFC Championship game for you on 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:05.080 Sunday from Denver hosting the Pats. 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.680 The Pats are a five point road favorite. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.080 That's a noon kick and we will then have Clippers 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.440 Brooklyn Nets basketball. But the big news p in the 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:22.080 NFL is the coaching circuit, and the coaching interview circuit continues. 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:27.880 And what an opportunity for the Buffalo Bills to overcome 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:32.960 one of the most uncomfortable, upsetting press conferences with a 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:36.280 general manager and team owner by bringing in one of 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:41.120 the most likable individuals to have ever played football to 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.360 heck with football to have ever played sports in the 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:48.080 history of the world. Philip Rivers interviewed today for their 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.119 head coaching vacancy. Rivers does not have any coaching experience. 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.960 It is the Jeff Saturday resume outside of high school football. 0:08:56.040 --> 0:09:00.440 His four year stint at Saint Michael Catholic High School, 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:06.480 a sleeping Giant that had seen zero success since phil 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.199 had departed for NC State, but he restored their greatness 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.079 made the semi finals in the state playoffs this past year. 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.760 His son, Gunner, their quarterback, will be a senior this year, 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.319 but said he would entertain offers after coming back to 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.480 play for the Colts for a third of a season 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.679 if anyone would be interested, and said he fully believes 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.040 he could do the gig, so he interviewed with them today. 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.360 Also interviewing with the Bills is the man who accepted 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:33.640 reportedly the Chargers offensive coordinator gig. 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:34.440 What about that? 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.280 I would assume if Mike McDaniel has offered the job, 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.800 he will probably take it. That would be my guest 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.680 that he will take the head coaching gig to coach 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.400 up Josh Allen and the Chargers will go back to 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:49.000 trying to find an offensive coordinator but whether or not 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.640 they can bring in a guy that coached in the 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.720 division for the past four years to varied success against 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:57.720 the Bills. Remember he just beat him late in the 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.440 season this year, and remember he trolled the Bill bar 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.800 in Miami after he did that hanging car the door 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.559 of Mercedes. So yeah, good luck to Phillip. That'd be 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.960 pretty freaking sweet to see him and Josh Allen together. 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.719 And then he'll hire Eric Weddle, who told us right 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.160 that he will go with Philip Rivers. I don't know 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:17.880 if he wants to shuffle off to Buffalo. 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:18.200 Though. 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.040 The College Football Playoff is not going to expand in 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.480 twenty twenty six and will again consist of twelve teams 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.839 for at least one more season. The only changes are 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:33.880 two slight tweaks. They guarantee all power for champions Access 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.720 and Notre Dame of birth if it ranks in the 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.240 top twelve. That makes sense. That guarantee for Notre Dame 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:46.600 polarizing today as some people well they open their mouths 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:47.760 and their brains fall out. 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:49.680 Basis bunting Nordo Dame. 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:51.880 And I'm gonna tell you this, Well, you're starting to 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:55.080 think about all these different things that the preferential treatment 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:57.439 that Notre Dame has gotten, we'll get. 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:00.920 And will continue to get. That's what I'm like. It 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:04.199 comes down to a point where now you're starting to say, Cam, 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:05.120 you bid. 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:06.800 Her, SEC is dead. 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:12.400 That's cool, oh man whatever. Nordre Dame hasn't been relevant 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:12.880 in years. 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.920 They were just in the National championship game one year ago. 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.080 Relevant for years. 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.560 You take that one that you take that one national 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.360 championship with coach Freeman out of the equation. 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:27.559 They have not been relevant. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:31.920 Really, Cam Newton, haven't been really. I just alerted you 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:34.240 that they were just in the National championship last year. 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.400 Let me reiterate, they have not been relevant in years. 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.520 He must not watch college foot There's no chance he goes, 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.760 no chance whatsoever he watches college football. 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:50.000 And Matt also effective August first, get ready to visit Rwanda. 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:54.720 Even more right, D one teams can now put two 0:11:55.160 --> 0:12:00.280 additional commercial logos on their uniforms on their apparel, an 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.840 additional commercial logo on equipment during the preseason and regular season, 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:11.080 and additional commercial logo on uniforms and apparel for conference championships. 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:16.560 Uh The patches are limited to a maximum of four 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.280 square inches per logo, which is pretty freaking big.

According to they. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.960 Haven't been relevant four years. 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.520 Their coach is one of the most coveted in football. 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:02.880 They okay, though nobody watches Notre Dame, though nobody cares, 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.280 they never watch him. Those ratings are terrible. 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.240 We asked Don McClain about this. Alabama coach Nate Oates 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:15.800 said Friday he plans to play Charles Betico against Tennessee 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:19.480 after the former Crimson Tide center was granted temporary restraining 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.440 owner earlier this week to return to college basketball and 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.040 play immediately.

I didn't want to say that. I 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:37.960 thought maybe some kids. 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.760 That's what he said. Forget I know, but I was. 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.800 We'll be back with money we got dead at a 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.080 live guy Birthday of the Day at the end of 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:52.000 the hour, and then David Vasse we'll have Dodger Talk 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.280 with Chris Taylor and Joe Kelly. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:59.280 How about that? 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:04.120 But that money Smith, This is Petro send money up 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:04.960 on demand. 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.280 True some money in five seventy LA sports.

Our number one guy. 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:41.880 That's true, just like Jack Palance told the Jack Nicholson 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:46.960 character and the first Batman, Don mcclan is our number 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.920 one guy. The BFF of the Petrosen Money Show, the 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.600 leadue score and the history of the Pac twelve, a 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:58.200 hero in Seami Valley and beyond, a UCLA legend and 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:03.440 a superstar basketball and FS one Big Ten Network. 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.400 C AA. What doesn't he do? 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:14.400 It is Don McLean, fresh off his rejuvenating restorative trip 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:20.000 to the Northwest on your Southern California Toyota neither celebrity 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.080 Hotline on the Petrosen Money Show once again. 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:22.960 Hello Don, how are you? 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:29.880 That trip may have been rejuvenating. I don't know about restorative, wow, 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:34.680 but yeah, and then you know, we got to see 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.720 Elijah Arenas for the first time on Wednesday night at 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.920 the Galen Center. So good to see him back playing. 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:46.000 And we are FS one tomorrow Northwestern at UCLA, so 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:47.200 looking forward to that one. 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.280 We're always looking forward to everything that you do, Don, 0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:54.480 because you're the best. I know you're not surprised that 0:16:54.680 --> 0:17:00.760 Ucla beat Purdue, being a former UCLA guy, but mc 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.399 cronin not happy with the schedule. McK cronin says, a 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:08.560 Big Ten doesn't care about basketball, and that guy Dan 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:09.920 finally had a pretty good game. 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:11.439 Yeah. 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.280 And what's interesting is Brad Taylor, who runs men's basketball 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.159 at the conference level for the Big Ten, has been around. 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:21.159 I saw him in Washington last week and then he 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.400 came down here. He was at the USC game Wednesday, 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:27.280 so that game for New UCLA was Tuesday, and you know, 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.280 he said, you know, I can't believe make and I'm like, Brad, 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:34.840 you know what. You knew this was coming, Like when 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.199 the four schools in the West decided to join the 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:41.720 Big Ten. Everyone with the brain knew that someone was 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.280 going to complain about the schedule. You can't be surprised 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.239 about this. The only people who aren't complaining really are 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.400 the football people because this move was made for football, 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.879 so basketball in every other sport is not going to 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.600 be happy with the schedule. I go to Oregon, they 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.240 complained about the schedule. I go to Washington, they complained 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.560 about it. So it's not unique to Mike. Mix is 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.359 the only one that goes out, you know, in this 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:08.000 press conference and says stuff publicly publicly. But everyone's complaining 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.760 about it. And so there's really no answer to that 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:15.879 other than you know, maybe try maybe try better, try 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:20.280 harder to not make it five games and seven, five 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.679 out of seven on the road and whatever UCLA schedule was. 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.920 And it's funny because talking to other coaches and I 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.320 would and we start talking about schedule. I'm like, yeah, 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.080 you should see UCLA's and then they look up UCLA 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.520 schedule and they're like, oh, yeah, that's bad. So it's 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.320 not surprising to anybody. And Mick took some incoming for 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:40.680 what he said because it was after a big win 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:44.119 against Purdue. But you know what, like I said, you 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.879 knew this was coming, so don't be surprised that people 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:47.879 are complaining about it. 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.720 Yeah, it was the four roadies out of five games. 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.360 They you know, Iowa Wisconsin, come all the way back 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:57.080 to play Maryland and then they got to go all 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.920 the way back out to play Penn State and Ohio State. 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.520 So don you've done this. I think some people would 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:04.560 look at it and go, Okay. I mean that's really 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.480 the only stretch that sucks over the course of your season. 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:11.320 It's essentially two and a half weeks. Like, how big 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.600 of a deal is that. Is it a huge deal 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.199 to have that in the middle of your season in 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.320 conference or trying to make the tournament or is it 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:20.800 just a pretty crappy two and a half weeks you 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:21.479 got to deal with. 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.480 Well, again, Matt, I go back to what I just said, 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:29.119 you knew this was coming, so it's yes. Would it 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.880 be better if it was in February, No, it wouldn't. 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:34.000 But it's right at the beginning of the restart of 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.719 the conference schedule. So it kind of hits you right 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:39.560 in the mouth again because you get through Christmas the holidays, 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.280 you're restarting the conference and you're like, all right, let's 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.359 get off to a good start, guys, and then all 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.040 of a sudden you got four or five on the road, 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:49.320 And I think that's the problem and why Mick was 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.800 frustrated and is frustrated with it. But again, there's no 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.840 solution to it. Okay, okay, Mick, Well let's put it 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:58.479 in February. Will that make you feel better? Probably? 0:19:58.520 --> 0:19:58.600 Not. 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:02.080 It's the way it is when you have four teams 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.880 in the Pacific time zone playing in the Big Ten. 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.080 The one and only Don McClain dropping the knowledge like 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:12.480 he always does on the Pettersen moneyshell, and we're happy 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:13.080 to have him. 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:13.560 Don. 0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:15.879 Do you have a strong opinion regarding the guy that 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:17.399 was in the G League and now he gets to 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:21.320 play for Alabama? The Alabama alum judge gave him a 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:26.000 temporary restraining order to play. I think you exhausted your eligibility, 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:28.440 but you could hit some mid range for me right now. 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:32.040 I have a strong opinion pe, but it really like, 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.000 what what good is it going to do? I'm with 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.360 Dan Hurley, I'm with Tom Izzo, I'm with all the CALIPERI, 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.040 I'm with all the coaches that have spoke out this 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:44.600 is I mean, if you haven't thought that the nil 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:48.119 and portal era has become ridiculous, now you layer this 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:51.600 on top of that. Now it's just stupid. I mean, 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:56.840 it's it's triple stupid ridiculous to let a guy so again. 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.080 And I think I mentioned this when we talked about 0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:01.760 it before. One of my jobs that I do for 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.960 CAA in running the pre draft is making decisions on 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:09.359 guys should they stay in the draft, where are they 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:12.160 potentially going in the draft, or should they go back 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:16.600 to school. Now that's changed because of NIL and how 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:19.080 much money these high level players can get for going 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.040 back to school, So that's changed the decision making a 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:25.119 little bit. But it was always like, in my mind, 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.200 a big decision because if you choose to stay in 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:32.920 that's final, Like you can't go back to school. You're 0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:34.960 on your own if you don't get drafted, or even 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:36.679 if you're a second rounder and you thought you were 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.159 a first, like your road to making it in the 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:45.400
