1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: One thousand dollars just answered this nationwide keyword on our website.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 2: Check that's check.

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 3: Enter it now you've done Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Damn that you have pie after five. This is ESPN

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: fifteen thirty.

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: Mulleger.

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: Thank you for listening. Hopefully you are enjoying your weekend already.

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: We are here, Tarn and I. For years our fridays

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: have been Makers and Coke Fridays, Makers and Coke Fridays

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: for me and tea.

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 2: So there you go. We have a lot to get

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 2: to this hour.

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: We'll update our poll question, which is happening right now

14
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: on Twitter at Moegar. We've we've talked a little bit

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: today about Phil Castellini is now the owner of the

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: controlling shares of the Cincinnati Reds, which you know, I

17
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: talked about this at the top of the show. I

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: don't know that I need to spend that much more

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: time on it. I just I was a little surprised,

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: Like looking last night on Twitter. Phil is not a

21
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: popular figure. I think he would be the first to

22
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: acknowledge that if he didn't know that before a few

23
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago, when he got booed at a Xavier game,

24
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: it was confirmed for him. It's kind of like booing

25
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: the high school principal at this point, but understanding that,

26
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: I was a little surprised that there were as many

27
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: folks on social media who seemed to be like surprised,

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: acting like this is not something they saw happening. And

29
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: I don't know where that comes from. When we talk

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: about Phil being an unpopular figure, you know, that's largely

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: a byproduct of Opening Day two thousand and two, where are.

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: You're going to go?

33
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: And it's a byproduct of the dismantling of that team

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two. That went

35
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: over like a lead balloon, and the Opening Day comments

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: took place in the wake of that dismantling, and they

37
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: lost one hundred games that year, and so that offseason

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: was really the first where it felt like there was

39
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: legitimate fan iyre being aimed at Red's ownership, which Phil

40
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: decided to be the public face and voice of That

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: was the first time, now think about that, that was

42
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: Winner twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two. By then,

43
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: Bob Castellini had owned the team for over a decade

44
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: and a half, and so you know, not making the

45
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: playoffs last year hasn't necessarily made people feel warm and

46
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: fuzzy about Red's ownership. The failure to land Kyle Schwarber

47
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: only poured gasoline on the already boiling discontent that people

48
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: have with Red's ownership. I'm not sure that acquiring Auhanio

49
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: Souarez is going to make anybody feel that much better

50
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: about Red's ownership. The only thing that's going to make

51
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: people feel better about Red's ownership is a championship along

52
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: with a sustained stretch of legitimate on field success. There

53
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: hasn't been enough winning, but I do think it's easy

54
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: to forget that for about fifteen years, Red's ownership got

55
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 1: passing marks from many people in the public, a lot

56
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: of fans for about fifteen years. During most of that

57
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: time I did this show. I can't tell you if

58
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: I got maybe more than five phone calls during those

59
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: first fifteen years of Red ownership by the Castellinis where

60
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: people blamed ownership. I think what's interesting about the relationship

61
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: that fans have with the Castellinis in particular is that

62
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: for the first fifteen years of Castellini ownership, if things

63
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: went wrong, ownership wasn't blamed. Sometimes the manager was Dusty Baker,

64
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: went to the playoffs in three or four years, and

65
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: yet at times was a dramatically unpopular figure, or baseball's

66
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: economics or the general manager, whoever it was. I thought,

67
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: for fifteen years, in large part because of really good

68
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: things done by Red's ownership, their role in the baseball

69
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: part of it was either ignored or at times lauded.

70
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: I think that's easy to forget now, like the last

71
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: few years, ownership's approval rating hasn't been very good. But

72
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: for fifteen years, man, like, you know, it was, hey,

73
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: they brought the All Star Game to Cincinnati, or what

74
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: about the community funder Reds Fest is back, or you know,

75
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: it was a big deal when they put every game

76
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: on television. I'm old enough to remember, and that was

77
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: a thing this century where not every game was on television,

78
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: where the ballpark is so much better, and I think

79
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: to a large degree, all these things that ownership was

80
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: involved in that don't have that much to do with

81
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: winning kind of obscured the fact that they didn't win.

82
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: So when the not winning got brought up, it was

83
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: Joey Vado's falter, It was Dusty Baker's faulter. It was

84
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: Brian Price's faulter. It was Walt Jockety's fault. It was

85
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: just blind lux falter. It was baseball's economics fault. It

86
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: was it was never on ownership. And so it's why

87
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: it's why it's hard, I think to feel sorry for

88
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: Phil or for Bob to a degree because from my perspective,

89
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: for fifteen years, Red's ownership got to pass. Now again,

90
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: many maybe the relationship was thawed in twenty twenty three

91
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: because that team was so fun, and maybe it was

92
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: thought a little bit more when they hired Tito Francona.

93
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Maybe it was thought a little bit more when they

94
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: made the postseason last year. But the only thing that's

95
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: really gonna rectify it is like a long sustained stretch

96
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: of winning and a long sustained stretch of it seeming

97
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: like ownership will do anything in its power to deliver

98
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: a championship to Cincinnati. The perception is still that ownership

99
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: won't do everything in its power beyond belief to bring

100
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: a championship to Cincinnati. But there's no unfair treatment of

101
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: ownership here, because I felt like for fifteen years, it

102
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: seemed like ownership could do no wrong. They got a

103
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: fifteen year pass, and we would joke about this on

104
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: this show that Mike Brown's got to be, you know,

105
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: just down the river going wait, can I get some

106
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: of that?

107
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 2: Can I?

108
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: Because my team wins about as often as they do,

109
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: and yet I'm public enemy number one and over there

110
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: it's the exact opposite. So what's so interesting. We talked

111
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: about this last month when Phil got booed at the

112
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: Xavier game. What's so interesting about this is the relationship's

113
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: not good and people don't like ownership right now.

114
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,559
Speaker 2: For fifteen years that was not the case.

115
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: We're watching the US Olympic women's hockey team destroy Italy taren,

116
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: do we know why the United States coach and his

117
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: cool looking sport coat and the Italian coach are yelling

118
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: at each other?

119
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 4: No.

120
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: So when I was talking to Mike de Courci, I

121
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: looked over and there was a little frankis are we

122
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: as the Italian coach accusing us of running up the score?

123
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 4: I hope not.

124
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: Well, it's six nothing right, It's the Olympics like score

125
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: as many goals as possible.

126
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: But the two coaches were like yelling at each other.

127
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: I like it.

128
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 4: I like it.

129
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: I like what the Reds did do today because they

130
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: have reportedly signed a better version of insurance than Nick

131
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: Castiano's Nathaniel Lao has.

132
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Nathaniel Lowe.

133
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: There's a Brandon Lao and there's a Nathaniel Lowe, and

134
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: I just screwed the two up. Nathaniel Lowe signs a

135
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: non roster deal, minor league contract. He'll be in big

136
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: league camp. A guy who has spent most of his

137
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: career playing first base. He's won a Silver Slugger Award,

138
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: he's won a Gold Glove Award. Last year he was

139
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: with the Nationals, it didn't go well. He was with

140
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: the Red Sox went a little bit better. For the

141
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: month plus that he was with them, hit eighteen home

142
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: runs with an ops of six eighty nine. This is

143
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: a good signing. This is a good signing because what

144
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: I am looking for. I think what the Reds are

145
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: looking for is they're looking for They're looking for failsafs.

146
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: They're looking for Plan B type guys. Nathaniel Lowe is

147
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: a good Plan B type guy. He hits left handed,

148
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: He's got a little pop in his bat. Again, the

149
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: numbers aren't going to overwhelm you. But you gotta have

150
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: another option in the event that sALS Stewart at first

151
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: base doesn't work out the way we hope now. Ideally

152
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: sal Stewart spends the next five or six weeks tearing

153
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: the cover off the ball, playing great in the field,

154
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: primarily I'm imagining at first base, and you're comfortable enough

155
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: with him being the guy. But there is something about

156
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: depth pieces. There is something about backup plans. There is

157
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: something about having an insurance policy. Nathaniel Lowe's best season

158
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: was probably twenty twenty two with the Rangers, when he

159
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: won the Silver Slugger Award, hit twenty seven home runs,

160
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: had an ops of eight to fifty one. His collective

161
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: ops last year was six' eighty nine with eighteen homers.

162
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if he makes the team. I don't

163
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: know if he makes the team specifically what his role

164
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: is going to be. But there are a lot of

165
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: guys like this that are worth taking a flyer on,

166
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: and it's not a big deal when they sign him.

167
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: He's thirty years old. He'll turn thirty one in July,

168
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: so we'll see not a bad signing. As signings like

169
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: this go, you could do a hell of a lot worse.

170
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if this decreases the likelihood they signed

171
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: Nick Castianos. Nick Krawl has kind of thrown cold water

172
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: on the idea that they're going to sign Nick Castianos,

173
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: referring to him as not being a great fit. Nick

174
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: Castianis is thirty four years old. He is coming off

175
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: a very uninspiring season statistically with the Philadelphia Phillies, and

176
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: the relationship between him and the Phillies seemingly went south

177
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: last year. There's been a lot written about an incident

178
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: in the dugout when the Marlins and Phillies were playing

179
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: against each other last year, and apparently he got into

180
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: it with his manager, Rob Thompson, and I guess a

181
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: beer was involved.

182
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: I don't know.

183
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: Here is a Todd's a Lucky Jim Salisbury and Ruben

184
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: Tomorrow Junior on the creatively titled The Philly Show talking

185
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: about what went down between Nick Castianis and his manager

186
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: last year.

187
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 5: It's like Nick had these You remember when he signed.

188
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 6: It was a five year, hundred million dollar contract of

189
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 6: March twenty two, Nick twenty two, he gave this very

190
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 6: interesting press conference. You know, I don't have a college degree,

191
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 6: I hit baseballs for a living, and it was like,

192
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 6: oh man, this guy's going to have an edge.

193
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 5: And he had such wild ups and downs, these wild

194
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 5: these incredible highs and these incredible When he was bad,

195
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 5: he was bad. He admitted he was bad.

196
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 6: So there are some frustrations there on Knix part in

197
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 6: terms of you know, hey, you know, the leash he

198
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 6: was given or whatever, right or wrong. You know, there

199
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 6: was some frustration there and he expressed it at times.

200
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 6: As you guys know, as everybody knows, he was never

201
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 6: afraid to voice his opinion. He was very blunt, very open.

202
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 6: He could be a difficult interview at times. He could

203
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 6: be a fun interview at times, but he could be very,

204
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 6: very harsh in terms of his opinions. And that I

205
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 6: think that all kind of culminated into what happened in

206
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 6: Miami in June.

207
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 7: You know, it's it's okay to be blunt and opinionated

208
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 7: in a difficult interview, sometimes an entertaining interview.

209
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: So it's okay to be quirky.

210
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 7: It's not okay when your manager makes a decision to

211
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 7: remove you to try to help win a ball game

212
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 7: and replace you with a better defender. It's not okay

213
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 7: to go off on the manager in the dugout and

214
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 7: the coaches in the dugout. And then you know crack

215
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 7: of beer that symbolically.

216
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 4: Was I don't know, what do you think, Ruben? He

217
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 4: gave him one of these and he.

218
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: And he held up a middle finger in the video

219
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: that's the Phillies show. There's also a piece the Athletic

220
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: dot com that sort of outlines why Nick Castianos, who

221
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: you heard the guys mentioned, signed a one hundred million

222
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: dollar contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, why the two sides

223
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: ended up getting a divorce, and the writer of the

224
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: piece in the Athletic, Matt Gilb, writes about the instance

225
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: in Miami that you just heard those three guys referring to.

226
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: And he continues in his piece that even prior to

227
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: that incident, his words, many teammates had come to resent

228
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: Castianos for his attitude. How about that? There's also this

229
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse, prominent players distanced themselves from Castianos. Many

230
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: of his teammates had a running debate they couldn't consider

231
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: him necessarily a bad teammate because there were instances of

232
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: him doing thoughtful things but many of his teammates argued

233
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: he was not a team player, and that's an important distinction.

234
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: For instance, not understanding why you, as a bad defensive player,

235
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: would be taken out for defensive purposes in that game

236
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: in Miami. Now there's a very good chance you don't

237
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: care about the Philadelphia Phillies. I don't care about the

238
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies. But the moment that Nick Castianos became available,

239
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: there was this like just rush of excitement among a

240
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: lot of fans.

241
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: Hey we can get Nick Castianos.

242
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: And if I'm getting the Nick Castianos of twenty twenty one,

243
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: who was twenty nine years old, and let's be honest,

244
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: because he was going to opt out of his deal

245
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: if he could playing for a larger contract, sign me up.

246
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: But statistically, I'm getting a guy who's OPS six ninety four.

247
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: It is close to one hundred points lower than his

248
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: career OPS and more than two hundred and fifty points

249
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: lower than his OPS of that twenty twenty one season,

250
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: hit seventeen home runs last year in one hundred and

251
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: forty seven games. Nothing about him statistically screams sign him.

252
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: Nothing about Nick Castiano statistically screams sign that guy. Now

253
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: I understand he was a fan favorite. Why wouldn't he

254
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: be a lot of folks love the fact that he

255
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: he yelled at Jake Woodford of the Cardinals at home,

256
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: played in like the second or third game of that

257
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season. He played with an edge, He

258
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: played well. He also took some parting shots at Red's

259
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: ownership right when Red's ownership was at its least popular.

260
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: But beyond familiarity and beyond him being a fan favorite,

261
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: what about his recent performance would make you want to

262
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: make him a p Then you add to it what

263
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: I just talked about, teammates resenting him, teammates viewing him

264
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: as not necessarily being a team player. Why do I

265
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: bring this up because I'll read Charlie Goldsmith writing today

266
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: about Ayuhanio Suarez where he quotes former manager Tory Lavello

267
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: with the Diamondbacks, who says about Gino. Quote, when he

268
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: stands up in front of the room and has a

269
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: conversation with the group, nobody responds and nobody talks but him.

270
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: You know, he commands the room and he's earned their respect.

271
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: He did that on a few occasions. Here's his former

272
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: manager in Seattle former Red Dan Wilson. Gino was traded

273
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: by the Diamondbacks to the Mariners last year, and he

274
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: literally met his team on the tarmac. Charlie writes about

275
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,479
Speaker 1: this on his newsletter, which is awesome you should subscribe,

276
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: and he boards the team playing. This is the first

277
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: time he's getting to know his new teammates. Dan Wilson says,

278
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: quote when he came back to our team last year,

279
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: the reception he got on the airplane and some of

280
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: the relationships he renewed because obviously he had been a

281
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: Mariner before, it was super impactful. I don't know how

282
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: to describe it other than he's an incredible human and

283
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: an incredible player. Any team is lucky to have him.

284
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: So the reason you sign a Uhanio Suarez is he

285
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: had forty nine home runs last year. Nobody would be

286
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: interested if he hit like ten home runs last season.

287
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: But he fills a need, right The Rads need home runs.

288
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: Gino can still hit home runs. But also that's the

289
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: kind of guy you want on your team. That's the

290
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: kind of guy with a team full of guys that

291
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: are individually largely still unproven, with a team that hasn't

292
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: really won anything substantial in forever. That's the kind of

293
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: guy you want. Nobody would say not a team player,

294
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: nobody would want. Is he a good teammate. Nobody would

295
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: question Gino's professionalism. So if that's what you're prioritizing ohen

296
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: by the way, he can hit maybe forty home runs

297
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: for you, why in the same offseason would you want

298
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: a guy is probably not gonna hit forty home runs

299
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: who hit all of seventeen last year. Defensively is an

300
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: absolute zero. And you already have a DH his name

301
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: is Auhanio Suarez, and there are questions about if he's

302
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: going to be a team player, what kind of professionalism

303
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: there's going to be, whether or not he's going to

304
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: be on board, whether or not he's gonna get it

305
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: if his role is lessened. Like this is nothing against

306
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: Nick Castianos personally, This is nothing against what he was

307
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: when he was here the first go round. But understanding

308
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: what the Reds seemingly are prioritizing this offseason, why on

309
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: earth would anybody make a big deal about Nick Castianos Owen,

310
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: by the way, they just signed a version of him

311
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: today to kind of be an option at first base,

312
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: and he's younger, and I would argue, though not statistically great,

313
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: likely to be better if he makes the team, then

314
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: Nick Castianos.

315
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: Oh and by the way, with.

316
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Lowe, I read nothing about being a bad teammate,

317
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: lack of professionalism, not being a team player. So I

318
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: know we're probably talking right now to a small, niche

319
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: group of fans, But like, you could find no shortage

320
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: of folks who it's maybe because of nostalgia or you

321
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: had a Castianas jersey that you want to pull out.

322
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 2: Him off balls.

323
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: But like, if the idea is to sign Nick Castianas

324
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: because you loved him five years ago, I'm not interested

325
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: in five years ago. The Rench should be interested in now.

326
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: But also if you're prioritizing a certain type of player,

327
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: which they apparently were with a Euaniosuarez, willing to accept

328
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: the fact that the guy strikes out a lot, willing

329
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: to accept the fact that the guy defensively probably not

330
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: going to help all that much, willing to accept it offensively.

331
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: He's probably a one dimensional player, but that one dimension

332
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: is important. Also, there are intangibles he brings to the table.

333
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: Nick Castiano seems to be the opposite of that, even

334
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: if he can still hit the ball out of the ballpark,

335
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: probably not to the same degree as euhaneos Warez, and

336
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: you've got people openly questioning his professionalism and his willingness

337
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: capability being a team player. Nick Castianis was a lot

338
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: of fun the first go round, But if you view

339
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 1: him as the difference between the Reds being okay and

340
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: really good or bad and okay, you're looking at him

341
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: through a different lens than I am, and apparently through

342
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: a different lens than the Reds are. One of the

343
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: things about this team last season. One of the things

344
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: about this team over the last couple of years, there

345
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: really hasn't been a big thing, like, no real controversy

346
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: that I can recall, no real sort of issue. You

347
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: hired Terry Francona, and you know, it feels like there's

348
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: a level of leadership and professionalism that you've sought to

349
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: have for a while. If Nick Castianos was in his prime,

350
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 1: if he was an All Star, if he was one

351
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: of the best players in baseball, first of all, the

352
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies wouldn't have let him go. The Philadelphia Phillies,

353
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: who have bonified World Series hopes, wouldn't have let him go. Secondly,

354
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: he would be worth bringing in. But at thirty four

355
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: years old, with his production having dipped and there being

356
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: questions about his willingness to be a good teammate, why

357
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: would anybody want to make a big deal about signing him.

358

418
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,119

426
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: I sound confused is I've got the Olympics on in

427
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: studio and I we just got done watching our women's

428
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: hockey team destroy Italy's six nothing.

429
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 2: And I don't religiously.

430
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: Follow women's hockey, But in between periods they have and

431
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: before the game they have Lindsay's Arniac as the host

432
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: used to be on ESPN and now it works for NBC,

433
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: and they have and I don't know the woman's name,

434
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: and I don't have audio on in here, but she's

435
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: obviously a former women's hockey player. At one point they

436
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: showed her credentials, having played on the US women's hockey

437
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: team in nineteen ninety eight. And I don't know anything

438
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: about her. I don't know how good or bad her

439
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: analysis is. I'm sure it's terrific. She's working for NBC,

440
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: But I don't know why I've picked up on this.

441
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: I believe at some point because she was on before

442
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: the game, she was on between the first and second period,

443
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: she was on between the second and third period, and

444
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: now she's on after the game. At some point she

445
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: changed clothes. She was What she's wearing is it's a nice,

446
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: uh pair of black pants and like a blue blazer.

447
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: She was wearing pink earlier. She had a wardrobe change.

448
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: I'm almost convinced of this. This is probably completely irrelevant

449
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: to anybody who was watching or certainly listening to this show.

450
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 4: But that's makes sense because yes, pink shoes on.

451
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: Yes, yes she was wearing pink earlier. I don't know

452
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: if she spilled something watching the game. I don't know

453
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: if somebody said, hey, why don't we try so. I

454
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: don't know if she's like, you know what I want.

455
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: I have both these outfits and I'm gonna wear them both.

456
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,240

Speaker 4: Uh.

587
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: Somebody the other night tweeted out that I believe Wednesday

588
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: was the anniversary of Buster Douglas beating Mike Tyson, and

589
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: whenever like greatest upset in sports history is brought up,

590
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: that's the event that I recall.

591
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 2: Now, I was two years.

592
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: Old for the miracle on ice, so maybe not like

593
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 1: greatest in sports history, but like the one of my youth,

594
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: like I don't know that I could do justice, how jarring.

595
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: That was what I remember about that fight was it

596
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: was not on pay per view, regular HBO aired it.

597
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: It was a Saturday night. The fight was in Tokyo,

598
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: and this dude from Columbus beat Mike Tyson, who seemed invincible.

599
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: On the list of things I wish Twitter was around for,

600
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: that's very close to the top of the list. And

601
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: I was talking with somebody about, like, you know, if

602
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: you weren't around back then, I'm not sure you could

603
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: really encapsulate how massive of an upset that was. And

604
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: then we started to talk about the dunk contest and

605
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: how when I was a kid NBA All Stars Saturday Night,

606
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: I was one of the first.

607
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 2: Kids that I knew that had cable.

608
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: So the Jordan Dominique Wilkins Dunk Contest at Chicago Stadium.

609
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 4: We got Dominique got robbed.

610
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: Dominique got robbed. I believe that to this day. Dominiqueilkins

611
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 1: is one of my all time favorite athletes. Dominique Wilkins,

612
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: the dunk content. You go watch it on YouTube. Dominique Wilkins.

613
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: If that event had been in any other venue but Chicago,

614
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: Nique wins. I'm comfortable saying that, like as one of

615
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: my all time favorite players. So maybe I'm biased, but

616
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: I remember that night. I remember Josh Lofton and his

617
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: brother coming over to my house, and a guy named

618
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: Dan Freeman, who I only liked because his sister was cute, like,

619
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: came over to my house to watch the dunk contest.

620
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: It was a huge deal and for years, for a

621
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: few not for many years, but for a few years after,

622
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 1: like NBA All Stars Saturday Night was was just the best.

623
00:35:53,640 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: It was must watch and uh like that night, like

624
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 1: that just general night, but that night in nineteen eighty eight,

625
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: for people my age, I can't imagine how many how

626
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: many kids became basketball fans for life because of that,

627
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: Because of that event, And now I don't want to

628
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: watch tall players dunk. Why do we have like seven

629
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: foot guys in the dunk context? And then we add

630
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: dudes who aren't even really in the NBA Mac McClung, Like,

631
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: what was cool about Jordan versus Wilkins. There were two

632
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: like legitimate stars, Like in nineteen eighty eight, Jordan might

633
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: not have been at the Apex, but he was a

634
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: certifiable star and Dominique Wilkins that year had an epic

635
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: playoff duel with Larry Bird, also bodified, certifiable star, and

636
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 1: that event. Now it just you talk about something that

637
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: just doesn't have anywhere close to the cachet. It is

638
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: impossible for me to successfully articulate pretty much anything but

639
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: the significance of NBA All Star Saturday Night to like

640
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: a eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen year old boy in the

641
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: late eighties and early nineties, and especially in the late eighties,

642
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 1: if you didn't have cable, like you had to find

643
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: a friend who did and invite yourself over on Saturday

644
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: because the dunk contest was I remember when Kenny Walker

645
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 1: wanted from Kentucky New York Knicks. I remember when he

646
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 1: won it at my dad's house watching that, and we

647
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: had people over, kids over, my friends who like cable,

648
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: hadn't hit their neighborhood yet.

649
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 4: And uh, the last good one for me was twenty sixteen,

650
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 4: which was Levine Gordon.

651
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: Lavine Gordon was awesome.

652
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: That's probably the last one that I like thought, this

653
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,479
Speaker 1: is this replicates what it was when I was a kid.

654
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 4: Now this weekend we do have a local tie Jackson Hayes.

655
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: Jackson Hayes, but like Jackson Hayes is a big do

656
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: you want to watch bigs dunk?

657
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 4: Let's see how creative he nd. I don't think he's

658
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 4: I don't think he's very creative, but we'll see.

659
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: That's the thing. Like it's good.

660
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: There's powerful dunkers, good dunkers in traffic, but the dunk

661
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: contest is about creativity, athleticism aerobatics, which is acrobatics.

662
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 4: In the air, which is neither one of us correct.

663
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 4: All right, well that was fun.

664
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: We have to go.

665
