1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: In truth, it is all of those things. Good afternoon. 2 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 2: It's a very special Monday Holiday edition. 3 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: Of the Bumper and Uppert Program. We are here until 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: I believe six thirty tonight. How many people guards you 5 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: do you believe are off? Is this Flag Day today? 6 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: What is today? 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: Today? Is President's Day today? That's right, that's right. So 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 2: it's a legal holiday, correct? It is so? No US 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 2: Post's office stuff will be delivered today? Correct? The post 10 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: offices are not open. 11 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: Most I think stores, restaurants, malls are open today, correct? 12 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 2: I think so? Yeah. 13 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 1: What's the percentage of people the average room, the percentage 14 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: of people who are get this as a day off? 15 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: Because I think it's a legal holiday here at iHeart 16 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: as well, Yes, technically because it's shut down. 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: Not that you can always tell the difference here, but. 18 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: It's it looks, it looks and smells like a mazu leum. 19 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: It's dark. Yeah, it's dark. I think most people have 20 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 2: the day off now, it is most sixty seventy percent 21 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 2: trying to figure out because it is a legal holiday. 22 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 2: So I think technically you almost have to have it 23 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 2: off if you want it. I'm pretty sure that's how 24 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: it works. I think that's right. They can't. 25 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of businesses can force you 26 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: to work this day. No, but then some people do, 27 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: a lot of people do. Probably well let me know 28 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: via the Bradshaw and Bride gay fan text line six 29 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: four six eight six. 30 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: The added complication is if you're a parent, because your 31 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: kids are off, we know that. Yeah, that's that's true, 32 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,279 Speaker 2: unless maybe they're out of private school. That doesn't really 33 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: bother with the holidays as much as some others. So 34 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: that's the added complication why some people may have to 35 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: take the day off. Interesting, I know that, like you mentioned, 36 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 2: like it's a legal holiday for us. When you try, 37 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: because I have before for to do vacation days on 38 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: this day, they don't even let you. They just say, 39 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: we refuse to accept your vacation day. You're ours. This 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: is a legal holiday, you're off. Oh I didn't know that. Interesting, 41 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: So there you go. That's okay. 42 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, because then you still then you don't have to 43 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: count it against your vacation. 44 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: My point, I'm not complaining about it. Complain definitely not. 45 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: And so it's it's a nice deal. That's that bad 46 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 2: at all. 47 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: We welcome one and all, whether you are working today 48 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: or not, and that you're you know, maybe giving us 49 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: a minute or two on what should be a very 50 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: controversial edition of today's broadcast.

I know I feel vital 72 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 2: after having gone through it. 73 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: It's it's pretty remarkable. We've got two guests scheduled for 74 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: today right now? 75 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: Is that right? Correct? It sounds like Russo is playing 76 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: hard to get I know he's busy. You know he's 77 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: a thin Winter Olympics. Yeah. 78 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: Close, Serget to Mike Russo, You're not the first reporter 79 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: to cover a Winter Olympics. I know you think you are, 80 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: but you're not. Many of us have covered many different events, 81 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: many over, many many different Olympics, and frankly we had 82 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: more to have to cover. He he can at least 83 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: specialize in hockey, right, men's and women's hockey. Some of 84 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: us had to go to the mountains, occasionally, had to 85 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: do the lose, occasionally had to do. 86 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: Well, you name it. I mean, Bob sledd curl curly. 87 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 2: I never did curling. Was it big back then? I 88 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: don't know. Did it exist in the Winter Olympics back then? 89 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: I'm sure it existed. Yeah. 90 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: I don't think I covered any curling in I think 91 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: I covered four winners in three summer and I don't 92 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: believe I ever covered any curling, but I'll double check, 93 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: because sometimes my memory does indeed escapement. You know, I 94 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: don't even know how to explore this, but you're aware. 95 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: I think that. 96 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: Noon to three they have over a period of time 97 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: developed a bit that has made millions. It's called the 98 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: Preposterous Statement Tournament. 99 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: I've heard of it. 100 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's I think they just had their Well 101 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: you were part of the drawing again, correct, Yes, I'm. 102 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 2: One of the analysts for the State. Make it. I didn't. 103 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: It's one. It's the one tournament I've never won. Here 104 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: is what I always like to say. I've won the initials. 105 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: I think I've made it. Yeah, well you. 106 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: Should take out a long, hard look at yourself. Do 107 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: you think I need to get more preposterous? Perhaps I 108 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: could be it. Maybe that's the answer. 109 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: And it's it's done. It's called the uh pst pstras 110 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: statement turn. That's all you need to say. 111 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: You know what I was thinking of today as I 112 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: was sort of surveying the material available to us from 113 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: this past. 114 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 2: Weekend in the ABYSS is it time? 115 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: We started with all the proper salutes to noon to 116 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: three and the Proposter Statementurnament, the Profound Statement Tournament. Oh 117 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: another PST, the Profound Statement Tournament, because if we did, 118 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: I think even though the date is Feb sixteen, and 119 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: I think this was uttered yesterday on Feb fourteen, a fifteen. 120 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: Rather given do that math. 121 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: Can't follow the calendar, I submit to you it it 122 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: might have held up as the winner in the Profound 123 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: Statement Tournament on the Bumper to Bumper show. 124 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 2: You know the statement. I don't, but I'm curious. You're 125 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 2: familiar with. 126 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: A rising star who plays in the San Antonio Spurs, 127 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: Davy Victor Wembanyama. 128 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: I'm familiar with Wemby. 129 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: Okay, some of you have seen the comment, some of 130 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: you maybe have yawned at it, and I'm here to 131 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: tell you shouldn't yawn at something stated that is this profound. 132 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: Now we can argue whether it needed to be, that 133 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: it should be profound, that it should be viewed as 134 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: profound and worthy of celebration. You could say, well, that's 135 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 1: sick that that has to be considered a profound statement 136 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: or a statement worthy of winning the Profound Statement Tournament. 137 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: But I'm here to tell you that's the case, because 138 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: that's the climate in the sports world we live in. 139 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: Here's the quote yesterday dateline, Los Angeles, California All Star 140 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: Game weekend. It's the game we love. Being competitive is 141 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: the least I can do. Believe, in all seriousness. 142 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: Tear to my eye. You could argue that it's preposterous 143 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: that it would be considered profound, or that it needs 144 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: to be considered profound because it should be. One would 145 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: argue in a better culture, stating the obvious, stating it 146 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 2: in fact in a way that you shouldn't even have 147 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: to state it at all. 148 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: It was so obvious. Well, yeah, yeah, being competitive at 149 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: the least we can do. But the backdrop has to 150 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: be taken under consideration. And the backdrop is what a 151 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: league that is finally acknowledging that due to its own 152 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: Dare I say, what's the word I'm looking for? 153 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: Lack of leadership? 154 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: Our absence of leadership now acknowledges is a significant issue. 155 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: That's the issue of irresponsible tanking. Not responsible tanking, which 156 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: I think has a place and once upon a time 157 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: I think made it easy to not get all worked 158 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: up over it, but irresponsible tanking, and the same league 159 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: continues to try to jump through a series of hoops 160 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: pun intended to find the magic sweet spot that will 161 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: convince its best players to try during NBA All Star Week. 162 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: That's the backdrop, and that's why when made the statement 163 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: he did, and thank god he did, because you. 164 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 2: Know who noticed, ant man Anthony Edwards. 165 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: Now, actually, in a perfect world for me, it's Anthony 166 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: Edwards who says it, and Victor follows him. But Anthony 167 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: was honest enough to say so, Wemby. 168 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: Said, and we followed him. 169 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: Now, I will still argue with you that the permutations 170 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: of you need like a you need some kind of 171 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 1: a like twenty five page guide pronunciation key to understand 172 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: exactly whatever. That series of games, short games, twelve minute 173 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: quarter games results in allegedly an All Star game. 174 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: If you put it all together, it's like one All 175 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 2: Star game. I don't understand it. 176 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: I think there were three teams, yeah, and then they 177 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: play each. 178 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: Other, and then there was round robin and whoever bed 179 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 2: and I still don't even know which team won. It's 180 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: more complicated than getting into the Bradshawn Brian Cafe in 181 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: textalls exactly. All of that is indeed the case, But 182 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 2: I mean, why did it take a kid? Why did 183 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 2: it take, and I worry that it's going to get 184 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: like sucked out of them. You know that there's gonna 185 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: be other veteran players said, what did you say? Man, 186 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: don't say that again. What are you doing? We're the 187 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: country club. Don't in the country club, you keep the secret, 188 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 2: you stay together, You don't call anybody out. And he 189 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 2: did it slyly because he didn't technically call anybody. He said, 190 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 2: being competitive is at least I can do. He made it. 191 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: About himself, which was very smart. He didn't say we 192 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: can do, which would indicate others need to be called 193 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: out as well. But I look at that quote and 194 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's in twenty twenty six, sadly profound statement, 195 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: tournament worthy, maybe even winning the whole thing, something that 196 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: once upon a time was so obvious people didn't think 197 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: they needed to say it out loud. 198 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: So what are you saying f for? Of course? Well, yeah, 199 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: what are we here for? Of course? You compete. 200 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: That's what sports are supposed to be, being competitive, by 201 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 1: the way, whether it's for the NBA Finals or even 202 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: for an All Star game. Although I'll even grant that 203 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: there's degrees. I mean, I think you can go back 204 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: to the Magic days, Magic Larry Bird days, and you 205 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: could say, do they compete as hard against each other 206 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: in an All Star game as they did NBA finals? 207 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: I would say no, right, but I think the gap 208 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: was that wasn't this gargantuan, enormous gap that does exist today. 209 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: So again, if we'd had a profound statement tournament, I 210 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: would nominate Victor Wemby as our winner without even having 211 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: a bracket or a tournament or whatever else common does 212 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: with it. 213 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 2: It's the game we love. Being competitive is the least 214 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 2: I can do. Did you see the other little They 215 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: must not have put that in this story that he 216 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: said within that quote. No, it's the game we love. 217 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 2: And then this part it's a game I personally cherish. Yes, 218 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: I did hear that. Yeah, that's good. How good is 219 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 2: that I personally cherished. I think he means it. He does. 220 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: Think he's saying it because he does, like that's what 221 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 2: I'm supposed to say. He does. 222 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: In my position, that's all good. That's all to the 223 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: good as well. Bonus Bucks it granding your end. Bonus 224 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: Bucks is off today. I think it's back tomorrow. 225 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: Even so, even bonus Bucks takes a holiday on illegal holiday, 226 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 2: it does, but not us. No, we're here. 227 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: Although we get the day, right, isn't this called a 228 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: comp day in the business. 229 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 2: I mean it's pretty loose. So yeah, yeah, I think 230 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: we get it. We can get it back if we 231 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 2: need it one way or the other very quickly. 232 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: We've got John Athletic at five thirty correct, Yes, And 233 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: we've got Tom Crean scheduled for four to oh two 234 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: this very afternoon, and a lot of other things, including 235 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: what's going to have to be a significant oh to 236 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: a dead guy. Today, we'll give you some sneaky performances 237 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: by the individual who's passed away, the outstanding accomplished actor 238 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: who's passed away that you probably didn't even think of. 239 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 2: You might not even known these. 240 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: Movies existed, And we're going to give you some of 241 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: those because I think at least two of them are 242 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: among the most underrated performances of his illustrious career. So 243 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: the shot that Steph Curry hit from the NBC booth, 244 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: have you seen the that's gone viral too? 245 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 2: Have you seen it? No? Here's my question. 246 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, and far be it from me to doubt the 247 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: shooting wizardry of the greatest shooter of all times, Steph Curry. 248 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 2: But did he make it on his first try? 249 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: Or did the video only indicate we're going to put 250 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: it up there when he made it? 251 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I'm just curious. I mean, 252 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 2: I want I'd rather have the truth and said, well, 253 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 2: he took five shots at it, but he did make it. 254 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: But I don't know the answer to that question. 255 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: It isn't It's an astonishing shot even if he tried 256 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: fifty times and made it once and it You can find. 257 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: The video online. 258 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: I found it via something called hoops Central, your big 259 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: hoops Central guy. 260 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 2: I love it.

Can you comment on the Michael Jordan kerfuffle. 271 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what to think. What am I missing 272 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,119 Speaker 1: something on MJ? Which kerfuffle? 273 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 2: Is there a new one? Not that I've heard. The 274 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: last thing I'd read about Michael Joy this weekend was 275 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 2: is his automotive team? Oh one? Is that the Is 276 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: there some kerfuffle about it? Well, the only thing I've 277 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 2: seen is he he was there's some like kid that's 278 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 2: like part of his team, like maybe another person like 279 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: an ownership group or whatever, and MJ was like tickling 280 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: him and like, you know, poking him in the back 281 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 2: and doing all this stuff to him. And people were 282 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: wondering if that was weird or normal. That might be 283 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 2: the kerfuffle that they're discussing with. That doesn't seem That 284 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 2: seems like a thin read. But okay, I haven't seen 285 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 2: the video. I don't know. Let me get to some 286 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: more texts. 287 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: I I had some good material here for this segment, 288 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: but I love these texts coming in. You don't understand 289 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: how a three team round robin tournament works really well. 290 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: Maybe the better way to put it is, and I 291 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: stand by this, and I've heard the reviews from people 292 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: who actually watched it. 293 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 2: I didn't that it was better. But I'll stand. 294 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: By my position on this, which is, if you have 295 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: to work this hard to constantly remake the game twelve 296 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: minute quarter so whatever it was they were playing in 297 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: which the three teams participated in around robin, if you 298 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: have to work that hard and move the pieces around 299 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: and the players around, then I will continue to believe it's. 300 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 2: Not worth doing. People are acting like this was this 301 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 2: great cell. You know that this is worthy of great celebration. 302 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: You know why. It's simply because they're relieved that it 303 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 2: wasn't as embarrassing as it was before. That, to me, 304 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 2: is not enough to celebrate it. So it's more that 305 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 2: than not understanding our three team round robin tournament means 306 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: I think Steph just grabbed a ball and shot it. 307 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 2: I think this was live. Seriously, I'm pretty sure. Well, 308 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 2: then that is absurd. That's Steph Curry though, He's absurd. 309 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, you see him deuced of all the time he 310 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: bounces the ball in the court. Yeah, he does it 311 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: from half court all the time through it's it's. 312 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 2: He'll do like a full court one from the other 313 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 2: tunnel and then run in. He did it before the 314 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: Wolves played there, and we passed on him twice. You know, 315 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 2: my oldest son, I hate Bray. 316 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: I know that's old news, but it's still as worthy 317 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: of discussion every once in a while when you see 318 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: that this is the greatest shooter who ever lived, Steph Curry, 319 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,239 Speaker 1: and one of is this not? I don't think this 320 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: is a preposterous statement for next year, for twenty twenty six. 321 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: He is literally, I think one of the ten most 322 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: popular basketball players. 323 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 2: Who ever lived. He might even be higher on the list. 324 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 2: I'm not saying bass, No, I'm saying popular right right 325 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 2: with the masses and with everybody else. Yes, he reinvented 326 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 2: the game. He brought shooting, the art of shooting back 327 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 2: into the game as something cool. Again, changed how people's space, 328 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 2: how people play, how they run offense. My oldest son, 329 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 2: who of course was not alive for that draft, hit 330 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 2: me with that within the last week he discovered it. Unfortunately, 331 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 2: Why why did the Timberwolves not draft him twice? And 332 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 2: what do you even say to an eleven year old? 333 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 2: Is that going to take? Exactly said, We're just trying 334 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: to get to school that drives like eight minutes. We 335 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 2: don't have that much time, do you know meerkat is, 336 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 2: well he does. I think he knows who David Kahn is. 337 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 2: I didn't mention that we call him the meerkat. Yeah, 338 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 2: that'll be for when he's older, maybe, But how do 339 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 2: you explain that to an eleven year old who only 340 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: knows Steph Curry? And how do you explain it to anybody? 341 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 2: It's unexplainable. It's explainable, but someone who's learning about it, 342 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 2: you know, in a history book, Yeah, trying to make 343 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 2: sense of it all, you can't even really explain it. 344 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: Curling return is a metal sport. Jonathan from Bloomington rights 345 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety eight, so Dan may not have covered there. 346 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 2: You go, You wouldn't have what. 347 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: Would be in my last Olympics because I quit the 348 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: paper in oh four two. 349 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 2: I can't even remember. It's been that long. That might 350 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 2: be true, although somebody else is saying that curly was 351 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: in nineteen twenty nine, the first win, the first Winter game, 352 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 2: first sport. But maybe maybe it ran away and then 353 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 2: came back. That's possible. Yes, it's happened for other sports. 354 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: In healthcare, there are no such things as holidays, right 355 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: seven oh one guy, there's I'm sure a lot of 356 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: truth to that, no doubt, Dan, I need to provide 357 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: clarity from a text on Friday.

I treat the floating holidays 371 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: like regular PTO days. And my public school kids have 372 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: they have school today? 373 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: Wow?

Just Saint Paul not getting proper credit? Must be? 491 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 2: Must be. 492 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: We are tied with four Myers. Yeah, Now, is that 493 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: because half of Minnesota resides in Fort Myers. A lot 494 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 1: of the retired folks have ended up in four Myers. 495 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 2: That's one the allegation and the theory. Yeah. 496 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: They rating is fourteen nine for both markets. We have 497 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: a twenty three share for Myers of twenty two. Third 498 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: place is Milwaukee Pittsburgh four, Dayton, Ohio five, Saint Louis, 499 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: Missouri six, West Palm Beach seven. 500 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 2: We love it over here growing the game. Richmond eight. 501 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 2: Cleveland and Kansas City are tied for ninth. So it 502 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 2: Skew's northern for sure. Definitely skews northern. 503 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: I see Denver's tied for at the bottom tide for 504 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: fifteenth with Cincinnati. I guess the most the southern most 505 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: place would either be Oklahoma City or well that would 506 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: be more further south than Richmond, right, But I mean 507 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: Virginia is considered a southern state. 508 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 2: So there you have it. We have. 509 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: Lake City actually has a larger share than we do. 510 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: Their share is twenty four, but their rating is eleven 511 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: to two, so that's about three points behind us. I 512 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: want to also thank our good friend to Boyd Hooper, 513 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: who brought this emailed me earlier today to make sure 514 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: I had not missed it, and as it turns out 515 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: I hadn't, but I'm glad he was still thinking of it. 516 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's the numbers confirm what I think should 517 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: be obvious. 518 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 2: But it's a good reminder that you know. 519 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: And look, I'm assuming it skews heavily towards hockey and 520 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: figure skating generally those are the two that carry the 521 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: day on the Olympics, but I think people will dabble 522 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: in pretty much anything if they are into it. And 523 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: you know, this year again you got the time difference, 524 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: but you have in this streaming world and even within 525 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: with with with NBC, they're running so much stuff live 526 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: that you can if you want to watch the thing 527 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: all day, you can watch it in and out of them. 528 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, especially with Peacock too correct because you know 529 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 2: they put stuff on USA, they put stuff on the NBC, 530 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 2: but then Peacock, like I watched the women's hockey semi 531 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 2: final today on Peacock for like thirty minutes before I 532 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 2: realized that I was watching it on Peacock. Yes, because 533 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 2: it was I figured I was just watching it on NBC. 534 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 2: But you know, my son pulled it up on peacock. 535 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 2: That's what we were. I'm like, let's up with the signal. Well, 536 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 2: the internet wasn't great, so we had we had to 537 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 2: get that going. Yeah that hurts, but it was great. Yeah, 538 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 2: you can watch whatever you want. It's beautiful. Outstanding thing 539 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 2: is what it is. 540 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of the Winter Olympics, I never 541 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: got a final score the women the US women Olympic 542 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: hockey team played again today. 543 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 2: Did they dominate? Yeah? Eventually, yeah, I believe it was 544 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 2: five rip. I know we shut them out one one 545 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 2: goal the whole tournament. Yeah, it's like twenty seven to 546 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 2: one or something like that. Yeah. Yeah, it was one 547 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 2: zero for the longest time. And then the floodgates opened 548 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 2: in the second period. Did you se what happened? 549 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: And again I'm not a big duel d u a 550 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: L Moguls guy, but did you see what happened on 551 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: the dual Moguls run again? 552 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 2: I think this was earlier today, was that somebody had 553 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 2: a big crash out right. 554 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: Well, there's a crash in it, but beyond that, the 555 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 1: individual from Japan, Ikuma Harashima, finished with the silver medal. 556 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: And what made this interesting was he completed the run. 557 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 2: He hit the finish line. 558 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: Backwards right, which I don't it's not illegal, there's no 559 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,719 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it's recommended. 560 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 2: But he had put himself. 561 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: I guess it was the old you do all sorts 562 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: of contortions and flips and all. 563 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 2: Kinds of things. And so he ended up, I think, making. 564 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: Some semblance of history, crossing the finish line with his 565 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: you know, with his basically facing back up the course, 566 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: the front of his body, his butt, his back, and 567 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: his feet get to the finish line first before the 568 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: rest of them does. 569 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 2: Apparently, Winter Olympic history, whatever gets it done. Who's to say, 570 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 2: whatever gets you to the podium. Also, what do we 571 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 2: make of the apparently there there's a a an ongoing 572 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 2: cheating scandal controversy involving Canada and Sweden in curling. 573 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: That's that's correct, Things called the double touch and the 574 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: hog line. 575 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 2: You know what the hog. 576 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: Line is in curling. No, I have no idea what 577 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: the hog line is. I'm sure the double touch made sense. Yeah, 578 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: that made sense. The hog line, I don't know what 579 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: it is, but those are the center at the center 580 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: of this particular controversy. We I think we touched on 581 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: it a little bit Friday, but it's gotten more intense. 582 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: So Friday again to recap some of we got in. 583 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: Then it's Canada Sweden, and the Swedes accused the Canadian 584 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: curlers of grazing the stone with their fingertips after they'd 585 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: already released it, which is apparently against the rules. The 586 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: move is known as a double touch, extremely described here 587 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 1: as extremely illegal. Canada's Mark Kennedy did not take kindly, too, 588 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: said accusation. 589 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, his reply was bleep off. 590 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 1: Then, after an eight to six Canada victory, Sweden alleged 591 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: that Canada's double touches circumvented electronic monitoring equipment, which apparently 592 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: uses sensors on the handle of the stone but not 593 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: the stone itself. Then back to Mark Kennedy of Canada, 594 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: he's still accusing us of cheating and I didn't like it, 595 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: so I told him where to stick it. 596 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 2: Unquote, nothing like deal. Spirit. 597 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: So here's the way it's been explained in this story. 598 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: To me, a curling stone slows down as it crosses 599 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: the ice. We know that, right, yep, due to what's 600 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: described as the immutable laws of physics. But as journal 601 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: or a writer, Guy I don't have the byline name 602 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: here says this scandal. Oh, of the course of this 603 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: over the weekend, the scandal rocking this quiet mountain town. 604 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 2: Has only picked up speed. World Curling got in on it. 605 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: The officials, they said, they offered a clarification of the 606 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: double touch rule, emphasizing the credible, incredible, the critical importance 607 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: of the hog line. What's the hog line, the point 608 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: after which no contact with the stone is allowed. 609 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 2: Quote it's the red line for those if you're watching, Yes. 610 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: Touching the granite at any time during the forward motion 611 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: is not allowed, to state in red. Yet images circulated 612 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: online that seemed to show the granite being grazed by 613 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: Canadian fingertips, and on Saturday, the Swiss men's team also 614 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: accused Canada of the same infraction. 615 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 2: Kennedy, our guy Kennedy from Canada. He's back. 616 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: He believes it's the result of a vast conspiracy against 617 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: his team. He believes the Swedes were trying to win 618 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 1: by technicality instead of skill on the ice, So on 619 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: social media he's even alleging, or should say he's not alleging, 620 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: their speculation that the Swedes planted a secret camera to 621 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: capture the telltale angle. They've come up with a plan 622 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: here at the Olympics, said Kennedy, to catch teams in 623 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,319 Speaker 1: the act. It was planned right from the word go. 624 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: What does that mean he's acknowledging they cheated. Well, that's it, 625 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's that doesn't sound like you're 626 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: taking the high ground on it, right. It's almost like 627 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: is that the old Ben Leber line, If you ain't cheating, 628 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: you ain't trying pretty much or that Peter Bursich, I 629 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: can't think that's more of a bursage thing. 630 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. World Curly announced it would position judges to monitor 631 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 2: double touching violations at future Olympics events, a level of 632 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 2: scrutiny that came into play with the Canadian women's team 633 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 2: on Saturday when Rachel Holman was was called for a 634 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 2: double touch. What's what the Canadians she had a stone removed, 635 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 2: zero percent chance is what she said, there's no way. 636 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,879 Speaker 1: I'd love to see a video, but the double touch 637 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,280 Speaker 1: rule that has emerged as a flashpoint has this time. 638 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: There's no such thing as of official video replay, which 639 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,959 Speaker 1: means the only chance to relitigate this contract versus would 640 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: come in the medal rounds if Sweden, with just one 641 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: win in five matches, can actually make it there. 642 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 2: So there you have it. 643 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: There's one of your I guess significant cheating scan or 644 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: at least accusations of cheating. 645 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 2: Well, Kevin Steffert, I think would argue that you need 646 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 2: to get this right. If there's double touching going on, 647 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 2: there needs to be and you need replay. You got 648 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 2: to bring it in. There have been some great videos 649 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 2: and memes and AI generated stuff with the Canadian guy 650 00:35:55,400 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 2: and the double touch. That's true. Yeah, like storing in hockey. 651 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: I saw the hockey one. It was brilliant that it was 652 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:09,440 Speaker 1: very very well done. It was absolutely outstanding. Uh this 653 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: is from thinking Anko can't get over the brilliant so 654 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:16,879 Speaker 1: j g u JG's Lewis impression menomine, Wisconsin's over two 655 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 1: hours from the Dells defined right by At this point, 656 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: I can't even It's just amazing didn't. A NASCAR driver 657 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: finished eight ten five in reverse yesterday. I don't know that, 658 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: but that I bet you happens a decent amount. I 659 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 1: would think, right under dangerous situations, I don't know where 660 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,239 Speaker 1: you're you're you lose control of your your vehicle. The 661 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: Japanese mogul guy advanced in his heat because his competitor 662 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: missed a gate, disqualifying him. Japan guy just had to 663 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: cross the line to advance. Same thing happened to the 664 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 1: American gal that got sober. She crashed in her semis 665 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: and finished a while later while her competitor went off 666 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: course and was DQ, that's from Grant out of Maple. 667 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: So there you have it. So again I the hogline. 668 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: I'd never I mean, I'm guessing Lavell knows that term 669 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 1: because he's become a curling guy pretty much. 670 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 2: Yes, he was there in St. Paul yesterday seven am. 671 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 2: I think that was his plan. That's what he said 672 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 2: he was going to do. What did he send? He 673 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 2: both sent us a text about something Friday? 674 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: What was that Friday night? Yeah, I'll have to go 675 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,959 Speaker 1: back and it something. No, sometimes I don't, I admit 676 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,839 Speaker 1: you never do. You're bored with the Yeah. Oh, someone 677 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: wrote him a sports haikuk the sports haikoush. Yeah, exactly it. 678 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: So will you remind me of the name of the 679 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: quad God. I just think quad God. It's ill Yeah, 680 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: that's his last name. We watched in real time him 681 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 1: crash and burn right uh at the men's finals event 682 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,240 Speaker 1: the Lilliam malinin malanin. 683 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,799 Speaker 2: The the the. 684 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 1: The just the maybe the worst performance of his career. Yeah, 685 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: and quoted from Scott Hamilton and kind of laid it 686 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: out what we didn't have a chance or I didn't 687 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,920 Speaker 1: have a chance to do that at least was necessarily 688 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,879 Speaker 1: listen to what he had to say after with first 689 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: NBC and then he did kind of that. There's that 690 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 1: mixed they call it the mixed zone where the you know, athletes, 691 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 1: competitors are brought. You're on like one side of a 692 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: of a of a of a low wall. I mean 693 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: the jackals are and the the athlete is on the 694 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: other side. It's called the mixed zone where you have 695 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: an opportunity. It's not like you know in American sports 696 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: where you go to the locker room. You don't get 697 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,360 Speaker 1: in any locker rooms, as I recall it, or rarely. 698 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,400 Speaker 1: It's more in the mixed zone after competition. And what 699 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,399 Speaker 1: I have to say is what a number of people 700 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: have have suggested, I've rarely witnessed or heard or watched 701 00:38:55,880 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: an individual who presented himself or herself more professionally and 702 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: gracefully under what had to be extreme duress. And I'm 703 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 1: not saying, you know, he should win the Nobel Peace 704 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: Prize or anything. I get it, this is sports. But 705 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,440 Speaker 1: I just thought he was not defensive about what happened. 706 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: He didn't, at least outwardly mope about it. He didn't 707 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 1: bite off his answers, he didn't do the old what 708 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: do you want me to say? He answered the questions 709 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: and pretty much said, yeah, I just had, you know, 710 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: one of the worst performances of my career. He seemed 711 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: to own it. And I'm thinking, what is he? I 712 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: think he's like twenty two, yeah, young, And I'm thinking, 713 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,439 Speaker 1: my guess is he won a lot of people over 714 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: who weren't even really they're paying that much attention to 715 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 1: figure skating men's figure skating, simply by the way he 716 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: conducted himself afterwards. Because we've all seen it, we've all 717 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 1: been there for some of it. You know, like I said, 718 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: short answers, get me out of here. Are you really 719 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 1: asking me that? That's the stupidest question. We see it 720 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 1: all the time, and I just thought he handled himself 721 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:12,279 Speaker 1: a really, really classically under I mean again, it's it's 722 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 1: it's silly to say, because again, no lives are at stake. 723 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: But the whole Olympics were marketed around five people, at 724 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,399 Speaker 1: least on the American side. 725 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 2: He's one of them, might have been at the top 726 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:28,320 Speaker 2: of the list, or certainly you know, right below Vaughn 727 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,720 Speaker 2: And who's the other ski s different Mikaela by the way, again, 728 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 2: Sunday finished eleventh. Her first Olympics, she won gold I 729 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 2: think twice, and since then she hasn't been able to 730 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,320 Speaker 2: do anything in the Olympics. But I digress. 731 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: But he's right there with it, and so whether whether 732 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: he's asking for it or not, the heat on him 733 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,439 Speaker 1: is dramatic for all that, and in the moment right 734 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 1: after to not want to curl up in the fetal 735 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:54,839 Speaker 1: position say I'm not gonna talk to you, or I'm 736 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: gonna talk to you guys a litt I'm gonna bite 737 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: off a couple answer. I'm gonna get out of here. 738 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: I just thought it was impressive for I don't know 739 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 1: if you heard it or so I did. 740 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 2: The other thing I heard, well, a couple of things 741 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 2: that I heard that were interesting was after he got 742 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 2: out of the interview and some of the mix zone, 743 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:16,399 Speaker 2: somebody noted that basically the Chris Long of Washington DC 744 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 2: grabbed him and because this guy's been covering him for 745 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,040 Speaker 2: like seven eight, nine years, he basically got like an 746 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,839 Speaker 2: exclusive with them. Like it was just so somebody just 747 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 2: for immediate person like me. I just appreciated that, like 748 00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 2: the person that's been covering him since he's like nine 749 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,319 Speaker 2: good point, he gave him time, which is really cool. Yes, 750 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 2: like Don Staley does that, like with all the local 751 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 2: media for South Carolina. She can't talk to anybody, right, 752 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 2: but she gives everybody a one on one because she 753 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 2: appreciate appreciates the coverage. I thought that was cool. No, 754 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 2: it is. Hearing Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinsky talk about 755 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 2: it with Tariko Friday night was also very interesting because 756 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 2: they've been in the same position and they might not 757 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 2: have you know, crashed like as much. But they talked 758 00:41:55,560 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 2: about the pressure and Lipinsky talked about I won everything. 759 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 2: I'd been winning everything, and then I get to the 760 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,439 Speaker 2: Olympics and I'm about to start, and I'm thinking about 761 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 2: every sacrifice that my parents have made, how our whole 762 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,280 Speaker 2: lives have revolved around this, and I'm about to start, 763 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,359 Speaker 2: she said, and that never happened before, and it never 764 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 2: happened since that was fascinating. It got to her. She said, 765 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 2: you start to think and that's the one thing you 766 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,919 Speaker 2: can't do. And then we're mentioned as you're going through 767 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 2: the routine, especially if it don't it doesn't happen very often, 768 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 2: like they're trained where Okay I was supposed to do 769 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 2: a quad, but I only got a triple. Okay, I 770 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 2: got to make that up somewhere or I got and 771 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 2: then you're thinking, okay, where can I do that? And 772 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:36,359 Speaker 2: then that one doesn't work and that he just says, 773 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 2: it just cascades in your head. Yes, when one thing 774 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,319 Speaker 2: goes wrong, and especially if you weren't expecting it, all 775 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 2: of a sudden, you're triaging this thing in real time 776 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 2: while you're still going. You don't get to call it 777 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 2: time out. It was really really insightful, I thought, and 778 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 2: I thought it was those two. I mean, what they're 779 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 2: paid to do. What they're brought there to do is 780 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 2: tell us what we have no idea about. And I 781 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 2: thought they were spectacular in doing that. It brings it home. 782 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, in a in a very significant way. Hey Menomine 783 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 1: is two hours away from the Dell's. Guy, must be 784 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 1: your first day from three to six. Saint Louis is 785 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 1: also right next to the Dell's. Uh, it's heartbreaking in 786 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,919 Speaker 1: the new guy. Yeah, there's some probably some truth, I hope, 787 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,360 Speaker 1: So I'd like to think that that's indeed the case. 788 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 1: Canada double touch Vaughn on a crutch Malanan, not touch, 789 00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,160 Speaker 1: not clutch. I blew the line coverage at five. 790 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 2: Wolves in file. 791 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: He had, he did it twice. He tried it with 792 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: I like wolves and five better, but I ruined the 793 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:46,320 Speaker 1: the rhyme Canada double touch Vaughn on a crutch, Malanan 794 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 1: not clutch, Wolves in five. 795 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 2: That's pretty good, good stuff. Yeah, keep taking President's Day off? 796 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 2: What else do we need to This is from Grant. 797 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,839 Speaker 1: This is a callback from Maple Grove regarding our our buddy, 798 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 1: the Canadian curler who. 799 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 2: Apparently thinks you ain't trying. If you if you ain't cheating, 800 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 2: you ain't trying. What's his name? I had his name, 801 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,919 Speaker 2: Kennedy is his last name? What's the first name here? 802 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 2: I had it. I'm Mark Kennedy. 803 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 1: So, by the Canadian curler's logic, if I get a 804 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 1: ticket for going twenty miles part of the limit, I 805 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 1: should blame the cop you setting up a speed trap 806 00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 1: to catch me breaking the law. 807 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 2: Although we've all been there, probably we probably, But I 808 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 2: like the aage speed traps on ninety four that is 809 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 2: one hundred percent true. 810 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,920 Speaker 1: Are the Guardian Borough equivalents of up a Cafe and 811 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 1: Ottawa or whatever having a we are getting job by 812 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 1: the official segment today? 813 00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 2: What is kfan? What does Ottawa mean? What's the Ottawa part? 814 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:57,640 Speaker 2: I don't understand the joke, do you? Maybe because Canada 815 00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,800 Speaker 2: got that's what it was?
