8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 3: day it was yesterday in sports to kickoff the weekend.

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 4: I cannot wait to get right into this.

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: Basically, you guys are going to learn what it's like

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: to be on the phone with me and Bridget in

12
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: any of our daily conversations. And before we get into

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals with Game two tonight, want to congratulate

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: Texas for winning the Women's College World Series, Coco Golf

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 2: for winning her first role in Garros Women's Final. As

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: you said, great start to the weekend, but let's talk

17
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: about the big game tonight, the NBA Finals. I feel

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: like the playoffs have been going on sort of since

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: the beginning of time. I mean, the NBA Playoffs go

20
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: on from April to June. That's a very long time.

21
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: So the fact that we're finally here game two of

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: the Finals.

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 3: I cannot wait to talk about this because there was

24
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: a lot of talk heading into the finals that they

25
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 3: weren't going to live up to the hype.

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 4: People said they wouldn't watch.

27
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: They have it on the background, two teams under the

28
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: luxury tax, there were no star players. Well, game one,

29
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: Tracy delivered. And I bet you one thing, if you

30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: weren't tuned into Game one, you will be for Game two.

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 3: They were even talking about this in my Orange theory class,

32
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: and that's when you know that everybody is dialed in

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 3: and you want to know why. One guy, Tyrese Halliburton,

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: he would like a word.

35
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:42,279
Speaker 4: What the helly Burton?

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: They are the comeback kids. They've been down by fifteen

37
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: the fifth time this postseason. They've come back from that

38
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: large deficit. That's insane, insane, and Halliburton gets the game

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: winning shot point three seconds. The Thunder are stunned, like

40
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: definitely like stunned us into submission, so to speak. And

41
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: how how do they bounce back from that? I think

42
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: they're built to do that, But Tyre's Halliburton, who fun fact,

43
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: everybody close friend of One Rock Party.

44
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 3: That's why we love you, Tracy. I'm here always with

45
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 3: the Niners references.

46
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: I like a fun fact too. There is really nothing

47
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 2: I love more than a fun fact. I like it

48
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 2: a lot more than facts. But I'm big into fun facts.

49
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: But Tyre's Halliburton has been absolutely incredible. It's just fun.

50
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: Basketball's fun. I love it. I love the finals. I

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: love the playoffs. Game two tonight, Okay, Bridget, if you're

52
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City, what do you do? How do you bounce

53
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: back from that? Mentally? And I understand these are professional athletes

54
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: and this is what they do, but that's a tough

55
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: way to lose at home in Game one.

56
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: I was listening to what SGA said after the game

57
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: after that loss, and it was kind of interesting to

58
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: hear his perspective. He was like, a loss is a loss.

59
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter how we lost, even though they were leading

60
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 3: the entire game until the final point three seconds. But

61
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: this is interesting to me. The most important game is tonight,

62
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: not just because it's the next game, but because how

63
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: they respond is going to dictate what happens in this series.

64
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 3: If they come out and they're angry, they're fed up,

65
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: they regain their home court advantage, then okay, maybe this

66
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 3: thing goes to six games.

67
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 4: Goes to seven games.

68
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 3: If they come out with that in their mind, knowing

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: how Tyres Haliburton essentially embarrassed them on their home court,

70
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: that's going to stick in their mind and they're not

71
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: going to be able to get over it. I could

72
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 3: see the Pacers sweeping this thing.

73
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: I think that's shout now. I will say this for

74
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: the thunder. They've been here before in these playoffs. This

75
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: happened to them in Game one against the Nuggets, and

76
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: they bounce back really well in game two. So they

77
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: are built for this. But Sja is going to need

78
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: some help. He had thirty eight points. He needs Chet

79
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: Williams and Jalen Williams. I'm sorry, yes, Chet HOLMERG thank

80
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: you very much.

81
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 4: I'm grim sorry.

82
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: We'll go to you guys. When I was typing this morning,

83
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: I just went fast as As and Jalen Williams need

84
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: to help him out. They were not really helping him

85
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: early in the game. They forced twenty five turnovers and

86
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: lost the game. Shows from a scoring perspective, it's gonna do,

87
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: Laura of a little team effort. There's share the ball,

88
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: and he's got to share the ball.

89
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: I mean, thirty eight points sounds great, but when you're

90
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: not sharing the ball, getting your teammates involved, he can't

91
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: do it all by himself. And that I just want

92
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: to go back to talk to about Tyre's Haliburton for

93
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 3: a second, because we.

94
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: Can talk about him for as many seconds as you want.

95
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 3: Can we can we carve out a couple of minutes here,

96
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: because I've got a lot to say about him.

97
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 4: This guy was voted.

98
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: Most overrated player, not by fans, not by media, by

99
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: his peers, by the guys he plays with on the court.

100
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: You know what that tells me? Tracy has somebody.

101
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 3: Ever like done you wrong and been like, oh, you know,

102
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm jealous of Tracy whatever, and then it

103
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: made you work that much harder.

104
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: Of course, this guy, I would like to know if

105
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: Tyre's Halliburton sent a group text the entire league after that,

106
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: just with like a meme of him hitting that or

107
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: just like.

108
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: Bet bet, because what he is doing is proving not

109
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: only everybody watching or not watching because there are no stars,

110
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: he is proving the guys that he plays against on

111
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: the court that he.

112
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 4: Is a star. And we have this person, this star,

113
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: emerging before our eyes. How fun is it?

114
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: His fourth game winner of the playoffs this season. He

115
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 3: has five in his career. You know who else had

116
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: only five in their career, Kobe Bryant. And so this

117
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: guy is doing that this early. Like, if you have

118
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: a last second shot that wins the game one time, okay,

119
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: it's luck. You do it four times in an entire

120
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: single playoffs, that's not luck.

121
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 4: That is a star emerging before our eyes.

122
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 2: That's mister clutch. That's who mister bigshot. That becomes when

123
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: you see all these memes on social media that are,

124
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: all right, ten seconds left in the game, who do

125
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: you pick to hit the game when he shot? It's

126
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: Tyre's Haliburton.

127
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 4: It's what the helly? What the helly? Burton?

128
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: I like every time.

129
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: And this is a rap song.

130
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 3: If you guys aren't familiar with it, go go listen

131
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 3: to it. That's why I keep saying, what the helly,

132
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 3: what the helly Burton?

133
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 4: What the Hellyon?

134
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: And if it makes anybody feel better? I was not

135
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: familiar with it until maybe.

136
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 4: I should stop. Maybe people are like, what is this

137
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: girl saying?

138
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: No, I think you're sending a trend. You're influencing because

139
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: you are you are an influencer. You want my hot take, Tracy,

140
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 2: I do want your hot take. It's one oh seven,

141
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: we're only seven minutes in. I don't know if I

142
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: can give it to you, but why not just start

143
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: the show with a bank I think you start with

144
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: a hot take? All right?

145
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 3: This playoff run is more legendary than the two thy

146
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 3: eleven Mavericks run. You know who also was the coach

147
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 3: there for the MAVs. It was Rick Carlyle, the same

148
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 3: coach for these Pacers. And if they win, Tyrese Halliburt

149
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,559
Speaker 3: in cements his name as the new face of the NBA.

150
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 4: It's not gonna be Luca your guy.

151
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but it's not Luca.

152
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 4: If he's not SGA.

153
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: No, he's competing with like the Ann Edwards Ann Edwards essentially,

154
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: like he's competing with.

155
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: This guy is going to be a household name for

156
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 3: seasons to come if he can finish this out and

157
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: bring a ring home to Indiana.

158
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: So over on the OKC side, first of all, I

159
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: want to address I think it's a good hot take.

160
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think this it's also huge because,

161
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: as you mentioned before, you've got two small market teams

162
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: people said they weren't stars. It's not interesting if they

163
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: make it interesting. If everybody's tuning in paying attention to

164
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: game two, I am. I mean I was going to

165
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 2: pay attention to game too anyway, but yes you were.

166
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: But girl, though, I will say this, in my plates class,

167
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: no one was talking about it. And I feel like

168
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: if they win tonight and Halliverton has a heck of

169
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: a game, they might be talking about it my pilates class.

170
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: But I agree with you. I think this is a

171
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: tremendous run. I think this is where I mean, you

172
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: guys are about to get really cheesy and dramatic, but

173
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: this is where legends are born, no legends are made.

174
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: Look this team, they made it to the Eastern Conference

175
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: finals last year, but people kind of forgot that they've

176
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: been working on not just this season, but they've been

177
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: building to this moment and we aren't really talking about

178
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: them until now because it's not Boston, it's not New York,

179
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: it's not Los Angeles. It's a small town. It's Indiana.

180
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: They're a small market team. But they're here and my

181
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: eyes are wide open, and you should be not yours,

182
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: I mean everybody listening.

183
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: I mean they are I have my glasses on so

184
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: like they're open, I can see like everything is, everything

185
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: is going well. I want to talk a little bit

186
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: more about OKAC and kind of what they need to do.

187
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: They need to finish shots, which kind of goes back

188
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: to the scoring situation. They need to again, I'm gonna

189
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: get dramatic. Beware the Pacers corner threes. That is where

190
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: Indiana Indiana I want. I always want to call them

191
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Pacers because of football. Always, always it's where

192
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: Indiana was really able to take over and it's why

193
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: they were in a position to win at the end

194
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 2: of the game. So I will say that. But I'm

195
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 2: I am excited for this one and for chet Holmgrin

196
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: You're welcome everybody.

197
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: And I said Holmberg at first, I don't even know

198
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 3: what Homeburg is. Why did that come into my head?

199
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: I don't know, Sorry about that.

200
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 2: Maybe there's a Homeburg out there that we just don't

201
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: know about. He's just not playing in the NBA Finals yet.

202
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: But when he suns in tonight again an influencer. All right,

203
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: So Game two, pretty exciting stuff coming up. I want

204
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: you guys to know that Bridget is also getting a

205
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: crash course in what it's like to be at home

206
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: watching a Dodger game with me because the Dodgers are

207
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: on in the studio right now, and am I sort

208
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 2: of paying attention to that, of course, But this is

209
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: a sports talk show and that's what we need to do.

210
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: But port Bridget before we started, got a lot of

211
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: my yelling at the TV and also my trying to

212
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: be encouraging to the players.

213
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 4: Tracy feels like she is the coach of this team.

214
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: And I never understood people like this who scream at

215
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 3: the TV. I'm not a big screamer at the TV.

216
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: People who scream at the TV telling the team what

217
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: to do. It's one of those things where it's like

218
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: they can't hear you, Tracy.

219
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 4: But I love that fandom, that passion.

220
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: You have your sparkly Otawi sweatshirt on right now for

221
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: everybody who can't see her. You are the definition of

222
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 3: a fangirl and that's.

223
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 4: Why we love you. We need that energy.

224
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, if you need to pay attention, if something's

225
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 3: crazy's happening, I got you.

226
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 4: I got your girl.

227
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: I appreciate you, and I will say this, I don't

228
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: buy so much scream as to TV. I do a

229
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: lot of encouraging, like come on, Yosh, you got this,

230
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: Like come on, Alex, you can get this out, come

231
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: on show as But I feel like they could feel it.

232
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 4: It's the aura that you put out into aura. I

233
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 4: love that aura, and.

234
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 3: They can feel it, like, oh, Taani, he's about to

235
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 3: strike out and then he Tracy's like, come on show, Hey,

236
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: come on show hey. And you know what happens. He

237
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 3: hits a Homer. I'm not gonna say that those two

238
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 3: things aren't correlated.

239
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: You can never prove that they're not correlated. But you

240
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: brought up aura, and we've talked about Halliburton, who has aura.

241
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: I think he can get sweat and he's got swag.

242
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 2: I think you could say show Hoey of Tawi has aura.

243
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: Who else right now in the world of athletics would

244
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 2: you say has some serious aura? Aaron Rodgers, we're gonna

245
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: talk about him a little while. I'm gonna not give

246
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: him aura. You no offense.

247
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 4: You're against Aaron Rodgers.

248
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: I don't say that. I don't want to sayhim against

249
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers. I think that's a strong term.

250
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 4: You're over him.

251
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit over him, but I don't want

252
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 2: to talk so much about it because we're going to

253
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 2: be talking about him later. We have a guest coming

254
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: on to talk about him, and in our next segment,

255
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: I will be sharing many of my opinions on Aaron Rodgers.

256
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 2: But I want I want one more, one more person

257
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 2: with aura. Somebody could have been the NBA playoffs baseball players.

258
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 2: There a football player with aura right now? Is there

259
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: somebody who'd like to get aura?

260
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 4: You have aura?

261
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: That's very kind of you. You know who I would

262
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: like to see get some aura this season? Oh? Okay,

263
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: yead no the yeah? I mean brock Party. I think

264
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 2: has he's got He's got aura. I think i'd like

265
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 2: to see Kayleb Williams get some Aura. I'd like to

266
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: I'd like that for him. And of course JJ McCarthy,

267
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: what's going on with JJ? What do you mean? What's

268
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: going on with Jj?

269
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 4: We got to see him.

270
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: We got to see him take the field before I

271
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 3: can talk about him. He can't extended period of time.

272
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: Well, we can't judge him until he takes the field.

273
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: But we will be seeing him take the field. He

274
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: is their quarterback. When you said that, though, you scared me,

275
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: I was like, what is going on with JJ. But yeah,

276
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 2: I those are my people that I want to have. Aura,

277
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: all right, I am going to ask you for tonight.

278
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: Who do you think is going to win the game.

279
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 4: I think the Pacers are gonna win.

280
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: I think we are witnessing the rise of Tyrese Haliburton.

281
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: The documentary is going to be amazing, and I hope they.

282
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 4: Use this sound.

283
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 3: Rick Carlisle knows how to take a nobody team and

284
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 3: win a championship. He did it in twenty eleven and

285
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 3: he's going to do it again, and it starts tonight.

286
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 3: SGA can only do so much for OKAC, and tonight

287
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 3: it is going to prove why just because small markets

288
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: make it to the finals doesn't mean the sport is over.

289
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: There's gonna be drama, a beautiful monologue, and I think

290
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 2: somewhere the entire NBA has applauded you for that. But

291
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: I'm going out in silver. Silver somewhere somewhere. His ears

292
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 2: just perged up and he clapped and he doesn't even

293
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: know why. I am going to disagree with you though.

294
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 2: I think that OKAYC comes back. I think that the

295
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: thunder comes back. They win tonight. I think chet Holmgren

296
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: and a Williams are going to help SGA out and

297
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: I think they will have learned a lot in the

298
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: last couple of days. And I think this series is

299
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: going to even up. I think it's fun for basketball.

300
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: If the series evens up. I would love to see

301
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 2: the seven game finals. But that is what I am

302
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 2: going with. So that's uh, that's what I say about that.

303
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 3: If Oka se loses this series, it'll be because of

304
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: their lack of experience and folding under pressure. If they can,

305
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 3: the documentary is so good, you want me to keep going.

306
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 4: I got some more.

307
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 3: Indiana thrives playing fast. We know that, right, Okay, see

308
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 3: got in trouble there. The Pacers capitalized on the turnovers.

309
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: If they can play their style of basketball tonight, slow

310
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 3: things down, remember that they're at home, and just not fold.

311
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 3: I mean they went on a what thirteen and four

312
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 3: run in the final minutes of the game, fifteen and

313
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: four run. They got to just hold their composure and

314
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: have a little more swag, have a little confidence that

315
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 3: they can close out this game. I mean, they're one

316
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 3: of the best teams in the league for a reason,

317
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: and just go out there.

318
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 2: And prove it.

319
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 4: I love that, but I want the Pacers swim. I

320
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 4: don't know why. Well, it's okay, I have no ties

321
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: to Indiana.

322
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: You're allowed. Well, I'm going to close out this segment

323
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: on that. I hope the documentary producers are listening and

338
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: You made a joke about mister Rogers. For those of

339
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: you who have missed it, Aaron Rodgers is now the

340
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh stel new quarterback. He made them wait for months

341
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: and months and months to make it official, even though

342
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: everyone knew that he was going to be their quarterback.

343
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: It's a reportedly over thirteen million dollar deal for one year.

344
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: I am having trouble imagining this working. Maybe that's because,

345
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,359
Speaker 2: as you mentioned earlier, I'm just kind of over Aaron Rodgers.

346
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: But maybe I'm wrong about this. Maybe it's gonna be great.

347
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

348
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take the other side.

349
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what I didn't it fun of it, Okay.

350
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 4: Okay, But I just want to let you know.

351
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 3: Do you know how much time of my life, specifically

352
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: my NFL career, that I have spent waiting for Aaron Rodgers.

353
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: And that's how he wants it. I give him credit

354
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: on that. He always is part of the conversation no

355
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: matter what.

356
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: Finally we have it one year deal. He passed his physical.

357
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 3: He will be there next week on the field. Look,

358
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: the Steelers have been looking for stability since Big Ben

359
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 3: retired after the twenty twenty one season. We've now had

360
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 3: four seasons. This will be the fourth season since he retired.

361
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 3: Rogers will be their six starting quarterback since then, Mitch Trubisky,

362
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 3: Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, Justin Fields, Russell Wilson. Now Aaron Rodgers.

363
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 2: First of all, what a collection of quarterbacks that is

364
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: something else.

365
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 4: It kind of feels like the Browns quarterback.

366
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: Round, like one hundred and ten.

367
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 4: There are a few ways to look at this.

368
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 3: And Jets fans they know that right because they thought

369
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 3: signing Aaron Rodgers would be the end of their misery.

370
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 3: They're going to the playoffs, at least the playoffs. They

371
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: thought they were winning a super Bowl.

372
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: They did.

373
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 4: None of those things happened, they did not.

374
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 3: This might just be what Pittsburgh needs, though I'm not

375
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 3: talking about New York. Pittsburgh has not won a playoff

376
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 3: game almost a decade since twenty sixteen. They beat the

377
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 3: Chiefs in the divisional round. Let's lay out the facts

378
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 3: here out. Aaron Rodgers one of the most precise, if

379
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 3: not the most precise passers of our generation.

380
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 4: Would you agree with that?

381
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 2: I would agree with that he knows what it takes

382
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 2: to win. I would agree with that he.

383
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 4: Won back to back MVPs not that long ago.

384
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 2: That is fact.

385
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 3: That is a twenty twenty twenty twenty one. The Steelers

386
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 3: open the season against the Jets in New York on

387
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 3: September seventh, and Aaron Rodgers is going to make them cry?

388
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: Do you think though he might make them CRY's that's

389
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: a possibility. I mean, time will, I mean, if anybody act.

390
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 4: I mean, look, if you say it like that, it

391
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 4: could be tears of laughter.

392
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 2: It could definitely be tears of laughter. The Jets may cry.

393
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: I just generally don't think it's a good idea to

394
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 2: cry after game one of the season, no matter which

395
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: way it goes. But that's just me. I just when

396
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: you say it like that, there's just like this matchup

397
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: between the Jets and the Steelers having hard time, it's

398
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: gonna be cool to see Aaron Rodgers. Let's see how

399
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: he does that. Those uniform colors I'm very on the

400
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: fence about with him in them. But it's not exactly

401
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 2: a matchup where you're like, I cannot miss the Jets

402
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: versus the Steelers. I just I don't feel that way.

403
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 2: But that could be because I'm gonna have to miss

404
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: it because I'll be covering a game and I'm trying

405
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: to make myself feel better, or you're a haters.

406
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 4: So many people that hate Aaron Rodgers and want nothing

407
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 4: to do with him. I have no.

408
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: Idea why I still have a little bit left in

409
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: me to see what he does. I think it's because

410
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 3: I like the I like a good ending to a story.

411
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 3: I hated seeing Tom Brady and the way he did.

412
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 3: I know that he went to Tampa Bay and won

413
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. I wish he would have just retired. Yes,

414
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 3: I love like a full circle moment. I want Aaron

415
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 3: Rodgers to go out with a bang, and I don't

416
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 3: know why. I know that there are a lot of

417
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 3: people that don't feel that way.

418
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't necessarily not want him to go

419
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: with the bank. To be honest, I don't really have

420
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 2: strong feelings either way on how he does, and I

421
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: don't I think would be strong. I just don't have

422
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 2: a lot of confidence. I think that's what it is.

423
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: But I don't. I mean, if he goes out there

424
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: and he plays well, I think great. Great for Pittsburgh,

425
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 2: great city, great people, great fans. Really like Mike Tomlin.

426
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 2: So great for Pittsburgh, great for Aaron Rodgers. I just

427
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 2: I'm over the drama. I'm over the making sure he

428
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 2: is part of the conversation no matter what is going on.

429
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 2: I'm just over all of that. But should he come

430
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 2: in and play well.

431
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 5: Cool.

432
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 2: Good for you, Aaron Rodgers.

433
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 4: I don't.

434
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 2: I don't have super strong feelings that way. I just

435
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: a little bit. I think it also makes me sad.

436
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: I'm now I'm the kind of thinking out loud here. Yeah,

437
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 2: I think it also makes me sad, and that would

438
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: also be a very strong word. But he's Aaron Rodgers.

439
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: I mean, he is one of the best, which is

440
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: why he needs.

441
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 3: To go out on top in my opinion, because the

442
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,239
Speaker 3: past two seasons with New York it kind of like

443
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 3: has I don't want to say washed away his legacy,

444
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 3: but like it definitely made it a little money.

445
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: Well, I think what made it muddy was the all

446
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 2: the off field stuf. Yeah, that's why they made it money.

447
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: And so I would love to see him do well there.

448
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: I just I just don't have a lot of confidence.

449
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 2: But listen, Aaron Rodgers, go out there, prove me wrong.

450
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: Make me cry after the Jets Steel plays so well,

451
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 2: Tracy cry like so well that I am in tears

452
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: in the Seattle Press fox about to cover the four

453
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: Natards game because you played. I can't wait to so well,

454
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 2: Please please do all be at the Starbucks.

455
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: My one thing that I'll say, and I don't know

456
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 3: why I'm taking this side, like I could be persuaded

457
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 3: either way. I totally get what you're saying. And I'll

458
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: say this real quick because I know we're going to

459
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 3: talk to Brooke Pryor, who has a much better read

460
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 3: on this. She's in the Steelers locker room every day.

461
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 3: You don't sign him to hand the ball off thirty

462
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 3: times a game. And that is what the Steelers, Mike Tomlin,

463
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: Arthur Smith have built themselves on. And that's AFC North football,

464
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: hard tough nosed football. They run the ball, they beat

465
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 3: you with their defense. So how does Aaron Rodgers fit

466
00:20:54,480 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 3: into this? And to his taking so long to sign

467
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 3: kind of makes me think that he's in the driver's

468
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 3: seat and how will that impact his relationship with Arthur Smith?

469
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 3: Not only Mike Tomlin, but Arthur Smith primarily their offensive coordinator.

470
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 2: He's definitely in the driver's seat on this because had

471
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: he decided not to sign with them, what would they do?

472
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: They would have a I mean, you or I might

473
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 2: be playing quarterback for the Steelers like they. He is

474
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 2: for sure in the driver's seat here. I think it's

475
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: going to be I do think it's going to be

Speaker 2: appreciated that. Brooke Pryor, NFL reporter for ESPN covering the

529
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: Steelers Brook You've had a very exciting week over there.

530
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 5: It has been, uh literally never a dull moment. I

531
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 5: was just out at Oakmont Country Club where they're hosting

532
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 5: the US Open, was trying to check out some merch

533
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 5: and in the middle of that, Aaron Rodgers officially signed

534
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 5: his deal. So I sat down on the floor in

535
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 5: front of a rack of golf towels and wrote a

536
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 5: quick story. So I think it's going to be like

537
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 5: that for a while.

538
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 2: And that is the life of a Beat reporter. So

539
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: you guys, you all think it's so glamorous, that is

540
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: the life of Beat reporter. Brook tell us what the

541
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: vibe is like. Is there excitement? Is there like, Okay,

542
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 2: it's finally done, or what is the vibe going on

543
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: right now in Pittsburgh.

544
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 5: I think it's definitely there's relief. Mostly that I think

545
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 5: it's relief in a couple different ways. One that it

546
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 5: actually happened, and one that this part of the saga

547
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 5: is finally over. I think there's you know, until the

548
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 5: deal is done and the name is signed on the

549
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 5: dotted line, like, there's always that if, what if something happens,

550
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 5: what if he what if he changed his mind, what

551
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 5: if he failed his physical, all of those things. So

552
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 5: I think from the team side, they have been confident

553
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 5: for quite a while that Aaron Rodgers was going to

554
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 5: eventually sign, But being confident and actually seeing it happen

555
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 5: are two different things. And then for the players, I mean,

556
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 5: I can tell you that I've been at the last

557
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 5: six OTA's practices where we've had scrums outside of outside

558
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 5: of the locker room after practice is finished, and I

559
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 5: think every single player at one point or another was

560
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 5: asked about what would it mean if Aaron Rodgers joined

561
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 5: this team, including Minka Fitzpatrick who has asked it, and

562
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 5: he looked at the reporter and said, I play defense.

563
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 5: Like these guys are going to be so happy to

564
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 5: not have to talk about hypothetical. I'm sure they're going

565
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 5: to get tired of talking about Aaron Rodgers and the

566
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 5: concrete things that we're seeing him do. But at least

567
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 5: it's concrete. At least it's not, you know, more conjecture

568
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 5: and speculation.

569
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: Brooke Pryor from ESPN joining us now, Brook, I had

570
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: a little note in my notes because you're a great

571
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 3: follow on Instagram and you're always in the most inopportune

572
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 3: places when Steeler's news breaks. Always it's hilarious to me.

573
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 3: You were at the country club today? Where were you

574
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 3: when the Rogers news became official?

575
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 4: Before he started?

576
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 5: Oh, that one was also Larry Pittsburgh. I was at

577
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 5: a bar on Carson Street covering a couple beers with

578
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 5: other people on the Steelers beat. We were celebrating the

579
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 5: end of OTA's and all of a sudden the news

580
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 5: comes out. We see the tweets that Rogers has informed

581
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 5: the team that he's on his way, and it's one

582
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 5: of those things, right because this has been so prolonged

583
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 5: that you start to get a sense that maybe it's

584
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 5: going to happen, but like, I'm not going to believe

585
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 5: it until I see it. So I thought that it

586
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,239
Speaker 5: was safe to go out and have a beer at

587
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 5: three in the afternoon on a Thursday. Apparently it's not,

588
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 5: and so quickly closed out my tab because shout out

589
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 5: to one of the other reporters. He put all the

590
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 5: beers on his tab, and then I literally ran home.

591
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 5: I was a few blocks from home, hat on my

592
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 5: sneakerts because I've been working out and sprinted home to

593
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 5: handle the breaking news.

594
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 4: Can we get Aaron Rodgers to pick up that tab

595
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 4: next time?

596
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 7: He really should.

597
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 5: I'm going to send him an expense that just like

598
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 5: an expense report submitted to Aaron Rodgers.

599
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 4: Good. I do want to follow up with that.

600
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: Though you're in that locker room every day, how will

601
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: Rogers fit into that locker room?

602
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 5: You know? I think that it's going to be an

603
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 5: interesting thing to see how this works out because they've

604
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 5: navigated a bunch of different personalities in that locker room.

605
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 5: On the offensive side, like, well, the defenses remained pretty

606
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 5: consistent and who their leaders are and how it's structured,

607
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 5: Like obviously they have younger guys coming in, but at

608
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 5: the top it's been PJ and Minka and Cam Hayward

609
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 5: setting the tone. On the offense, It's been a revolving

610
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 5: door of guys who are in leadership positions by virtue

611
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 5: of being a quarterback with Ben Roethlisberger and then Mitch

612
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 5: Krubisky and Kenny Pickett and Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

613
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 5: And there have been some growing pains along the way.

614
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 5: There have been guys that have gotten frustrated. Did Deontay

615
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 5: Johnson one of them who is no longer in Pittsburgh.

616
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 5: I mean, we've seen the offense take a beating just

617
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 5: from all of these personalities. But I do think that

618
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 5: one thing I heard guys say often about Russell Wilson

619
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 5: can apply to Aaron Rodgers in that because he's a veteran,

620
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 5: he's been there, done that, He's had success, he's won

621
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 5: a Super Bowl. He has that just veteran presence that

622
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 5: I think the guys really appreciate and really value on

623
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 5: the field when things are getting tight. It sounded like

624
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 5: the offensive line. You know, appreciated how vocal Russell Wilson

625
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 5: was in the huddles in the meeting room, things like that,

626
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 5: And so I think that Aaron Rodgers will step in

627
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 5: and be a leader for this team. But it's I

628
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 5: think also going to be a balancing act of how

629
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 5: much influence he will have over the offense with Arthur Smith,

630
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 5: with Mike Tomlin. He's forty one years old, he's been

631
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 5: doing this a long time. But Mike Tomlin has also

632
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 5: been doing this a long time, and he's managed a

633
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 5: lot of personality. So I think there's to have to

634
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 5: be some compromise on.

635
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 2: Both sides, And that was going to be somewhat of

636
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: my next question. How do you think that is going

637
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: to go? Will Mike Tomlin compromise? You don't know. Aaron

638
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: Rodgers is, oh, yeah, But will Mike Tomlin be able

639
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: to compromise? I mean, we were talking the last segment.

640
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 2: This is Aaron Rodgers in the driver's seat. He bade

641
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: them wait, he's their quarterback. They didn't have a lot

642
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: of other options. So how much of the compromise is

643
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: going to be compromising towards what he wants?

644
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

645
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 5: I mean that is the million dollar question, the ten

646
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 5: million dollar question ten million guaranteed because the reality is

647
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 5: to the offense that Arthur Smith runs is not something

648
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 5: that Aaron Rodgers typically enjoys being in. I mean, last year,

649
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 5: Arthur Smith did not give his quarterbacks freedom to change

650
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 5: the call to change the line of scrimmage. There was

651
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 5: not much autonomy, even for Russell Wilson, who, like I said,

652
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 5: is a vet was a vet. And I don't see

653
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers being okay with that. I mean, we know

654
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 5: that when he was in Green Bay with Matt Lafour,

655
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 5: Lafleur was very similar to Arthur Smith and in not

656
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 5: wanting to give the quarterback that freedom. And this is

657
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 5: going to be, I think again, a compromise between all

658
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 5: of these parties of figuring out how much latitude Rogers

659
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 5: will have, how much trust are they going to put

660
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 5: in him, how much will Arthur Smith changes often, how

661
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 5: much will Arthur Smith be willing to do more of what?

662
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 5: How much will Aaron Rodgers be willing to do what

663
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 5: Arthur Smith wants to do? And at the end of

664
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 5: the day, who's going to be the loudest voice in

665
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 5: the room or the voice that has the biggest impact,

666
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 5: and that has been Mike Tomlin for almost two decades here,

667
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 5: though I would expect that that continues even though Aaron

668
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 5: Rodgers has been in the driver's seat. I think that

669
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 5: for this to work, he can't take up all of

670
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 5: the space that he has taken up over this offseason.

671
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 5: He's got to kind of acclimate and adjust to being

672
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 5: a part of this Steelers organization. It's not Aaron Rodgers

673
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 5: and the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's the Pittsburgh Steelers and head

674
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 5: coach is Mike Tomlin.

675
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 4: Brook Pryor from ESPN joining US now. Brook.

676
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: The Steelers clearly in win now mode, right They signed

677
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 3: him to a one year deal. They're not drafting a quarterback.

678
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 3: They are winning now? Is what they want?

679
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 4: Is that the answer?

680
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 3: And what happens to Mike Tomlin and this Steelers organization

681
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: if it's not, If they miss the playoffs, you know, it's.

682
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 5: Gonna be really interesting because I do think that they're

683
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 5: in this win now mode kind of by default, because,

684
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 5: like you said, there were not other great quarterback options

685
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 5: out there. All of this really, if we had an

686
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 5: hour and a half, we could go into the ultimate

687
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 5: route of why the Steelers are in the place that

688
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 5: they're in right now with the quarterbacks, and honestly, a

689
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 5: lot of it goes back to how they handled the

690
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 5: end of Ben Roethlisberger's career, prolonging his career, which then

691
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 5: turned them into having to draft in a poor quarterback

692
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 5: class with Kenny Pickett. And I think that this year,

693
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 5: while they do want to win now, Mike Tomlin obviously

694
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 5: wants to end that route of not having a playoff

695
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 5: one since twenty sixteen, Aaron Rodgers would like to get

696
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 5: back to the playoffs. I still think ultimately a lot

697
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 5: of this year is about setting up for next year,

698
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 5: when the quarterback class looks much stronger, when they have

699
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 5: a number of compicks that look to becoming their way

700
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 5: because of how free agency shook out, and by the

701
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 5: way the draft is in Pittsburgh next year, I don't

702
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 5: know that the script writers could have envisioned the opportunity

703
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 5: for the Steelers to potentially draft their next franchise quarterback

704
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 5: in front of their home stadium with you know, hundreds

705
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 5: of thousands of maybe who knows how many Steelers fans there.

706
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 5: But I think that you know, there is the reality

707
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 5: here that Aaron Rodgers is probably not coming into Pittsburgh

708
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 5: to play five six more years. This is a temporary

709
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 5: fix for a position that needs a long term solution.

710
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 5: They've got a guy who has one who has played

711
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 5: an MVP level. He did not show that last year.

712
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 5: I think best case scenario here is that he gets

713
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 5: them to the playoffs, they win a playoff game, and

714
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 5: then he ultimately, you know, retires, moves on whatever, and

715
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 5: the Steelers are able to find their next quarterback in

716
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 5: the upcoming.

717
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 2: Draft class brook When is many camp for the Steelers?

718
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 5: It starts on Tuesday, and Aaron Rodgers is expected to

719
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 5: talk after practice on Tuesday afternoon.

720
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: Well, that should be exciting. Is there anything specific you're

721
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing or hearing from him.

722
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 5: I think that there's a couple of things that I've

723
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 5: got on my question depth chart. One of them is

724
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 5: hearing from him why now? You know, I think that

725
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 5: there's been a lot of speculation about why now was

726
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 5: the right time for him to sign, to come in

727
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 5: before mini camp and meet his teammates, get the playbook,

728
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 5: and then come back with a little bit of a

729
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 5: head start before training camp. But I want to hear

730
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 5: that in his words, and then the other thing is

731
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 5: you know, if you zoom in, you don't even have

732
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 5: to zoom in that far. On the picture that the

733
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 5: Steelers posted after Aaron Rodgers signed this morning, it appears

734
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 5: that there is a ring on his left ring finger.

735
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 5: So I would like to know is that an or ring?

736
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 5: Is that? Did you get married? I can tell you

737
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 5: that probably eighty five percent of the texts I've gotten

738
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 5: today have asked me that question, and I'm like, I

739
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 5: would also love to know, So that's on my list

740
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 5: of things to ask him when we finally get to

741
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 5: talk to her on Tuesday.

742
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 2: Brooke Prior from ESPN, thank you for joining us, and

743
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 2: everybody will be tuning into your Instagram, Twitter and everything

744
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 2: on Tuesday to find out the answer to that question.

745
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: Thank you again, Brooke, and we will be right back.

746
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Saturday. All right, we are coming

747
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: back to you live from Fox Sports Radio, and it

748
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 2: is time for a segment we like to call the

749
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: Dues and the don'ts.

750
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: Highlighting the dues. Oh, I love that, putting a spotlight.

751
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: On the dot the subject that brings me no joy,

752
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 2: That's insane.

753
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 1: It's time for the dues and the don'ts. In sports Bridget.

754
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 2: You are our guest today. Would you like to go first?

755
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:08,840

Speaker 4: coming out for you, Tracy Perfect.

758
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 3: Don't be jealous of someone else's success and vote them

759
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 3: as overrated, because guess what, they will use it as

760
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 3: fuel to fire.

761
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 4: Them up and make you embarrassed.

762
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 2: Who could you be talking about?

763
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 4: No idea?

764
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 2: Do the rap again?

765
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 4: What the Helly Burton people are gonna be like? You

766
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 4: need to stop? You do not sound like whatever the

767
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 4: rappers name is.

768
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: I like it. I like the dude the Helly Burton.

769
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: I have a very fun do well. I think it's fun,

770
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: and you guys are here, so you're gonna have to

771
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 2: hear it. Mascot this week, Dinger, who is the Rockies mascot,

772
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 2: held up a sign missus Met call me now, mister Met.

773
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 2: I don't think it's probably very happy about this, but

774
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 2: I love this interaction between the mascots and way to

775
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 2: God or shoot your shot, shoot or shoot there you go,

776
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 2: shoot or shoot again. I think mister Mett is probably

777
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 2: not that excited about it, but I don't know. It

778
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 2: made me smile and I was like this is baseball.

779
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 2: Baseball is fun. Baseball kind of has this atmosphere. Baseball

780
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: seasons are long.

781
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 4: Yes, let's add in a little.

782
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 2: Extra good time. So I was super into it.

783
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,959
Speaker 4: Do we need a mascot reality show?

784
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,439
Speaker 2: There's a Do we do need a mascot reality show?

785
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 4: Love is Mascot Love? It'll work, it, We'll work.

786
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: It's a working title, but I think we do need that.

787
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 3: Do still go to prom even if you're an insane athlete?

788
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,959
Speaker 3: Seventeen year old Mason Howell just qualified for the US

789
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 3: Open as a junior in high school. He'll play in

790
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 3: the Open before graduating from high school. Don't worry, though,

791
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 3: he's still being a kid and enjoying prom.

792
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: Oh.

793
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 2: I like that. I like that a lot. Do use

794
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 2: your platform. Patrick Mahomes went to Texas Tech and he's

795
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 2: a big Texas Tech fan, tweeting all about the Women's

796
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 2: Call World Series and I thought it was great. He

797
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: was so into it. Obviously wanted Texas Tech to win.

798
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 2: Texas won the Battle of the Lone Star State in

799
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 2: that one, but he was very congratulatory. He thought it

800
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 2: was pretty impressive. The Grand Slam hit by a believing

801
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: the Scotts is her name of Texas. But I thought

802
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: that was fun, and I think Patrick Mahomes is a

803
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: really good job about bringing attention to women's sports and

804
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 2: all sports generally. So wait to go, Patrick.

805
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 3: We need more men caring about women's sports. We can't

806
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 3: be carrying this on our shoulders by ourselves. Men don't

807
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 3: realize how much impact they have in sports lives, in

808
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 3: women's sports lives.

809
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 4: I love seeing Patrick Mahomes do that.

810
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 3: We need more men to champion women's sports because their

811
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 3: voice sometimes it feels as.

812
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 4: Choice as love.

813
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: I agree with that assessment.

814
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 4: All right.

815
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 3: Do be the dad speaking of men, who took a

816
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 3: selfie court side with Kylie and Timothy for his daughters.

817
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 4: Did you see this?

818
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 2: I did.

819
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 3: It's the airball trend that's going on on social media.

820
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 3: The girls posted and said what.

821
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 4: It's like?

822
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 3: They ask what tickets my dad got to the game?

823
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 3: Like how good were the tickets? And then it's the

824
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 3: selfie of him and Kylie and Tim. I know that

825
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 3: is no longer Kylie and tim obviously we're there for

826
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 3: the Knicks and now we're on to the finals without them,

827
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 3: But still had to bring it in because that was awesome.

828
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 2: Why would say do be Kylie and Tim they did

829
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 2: the selfie like that's great love that I do. I

830
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 2: like that. We talked a lot about this last week,

831
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 2: but I think they have been pretty fun fans to

832
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 2: watch in this all right, I'm going to finish us

833
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 2: off with a don't and it's somebody we've talked about

834
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 2: a lot. But I just have to say, if you

835
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 2: are going to make a decision and you know what

836
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 2: the decision is, and everybody around you knows what the

837
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 2: decision is, and the decision you are making effects a

838
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: whole group of people, namely ninety men competing for spots

839
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 2: on a football team and coaching staff and all of

840
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 2: the things, don't make them wait for months and months

841
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 2: months just to ramp up the drama.

842
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 3: I hear you, I mean why And Brooks Saday that's

843
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 3: her first question?

844
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 4: Why now?

845
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 2: And my do hear Tyrese Haliburt and you guys do

846
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 2: go to TikTok and look at his tiktoks from before.

847
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: This man is an incredible dancer. Not only is he

848
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 2: mister Clutch, his TikTok dance videos are a plus.

849
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 4: Are the TikTok's happening still during the finals or like,

850
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 4: are they on.

851
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 2: Hold for now that I cannot speak to. Maybe don't

852
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: get distracted by TikTok during the NBA finals.

853
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 3: It reminds me of like Le'Veon Bell. Remember he was

854
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 3: making those raps. Yeah, so this while he was playing

855
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 3: for the Steelers.

856
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 2: Going back to the Steelers, and it didn't end so

857
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 2: great for the Steelers. So maybe do focus on the

858
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 2: task in hand, but also have.

859
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 3: Dance on TikTok during your trying to get a cup,

860
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 3: trying to get a ring.

861
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 2: That's truly fair. But you and I could dance on TikTok.

862
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: All right, I'm into that for sure. All right, come

863
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 2: when you come back, you can hear a bridge and

864
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 2: I have come up with a TikTok d So we

865
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 2: are back soon. Fox Sports Saturday, Hello and welcome back

866
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 2: to Fox Sports Saturday. We have discussed many many things today.

867
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 2: We talked a lot about the NBA Finals, but there

868
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 2: is another final going on. And here's something interesting. This

869
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: is the Stanley Cup Final. It's the Stanley Cup Final.

870
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 2: It's not the Stanley Cup Finals.

871
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 4: And if you say finals, hockey fans will come for you.

872
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: Oh they will.

873
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 4: So make sure everybody we're saying Stanley Cup Final, which.

874
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 2: Is interesting and I have to do a deep dive

875
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: into that, but not right this second. First, I want

876
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 2: to talk a little bit about where we are this far.

877
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 2: Game two was last night, a two overtime win for

878
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 2: the Panthers to even the series. The first game went

879
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: into overtime as well. Hockey is It's not a sport

880
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 2: I've watched a ton of but as I'm paying so

881
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 2: much more attention and watching, it's so fun.

882
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 4: There is nothing like playoff hockey.

883
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it kind of gets buried a little bit if

884
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 3: you're not a true hockey fan, or if you didn't

885
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 3: grow up. I'm from the Northeast, so I grew up

886
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 3: with hockey, but you know, my husband's from the South

887
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 3: and he didn't really get into it until you watch

888
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 3: playoff hockey and you're like, whoa, these guys are fighting

889
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 3: each other and this is free to watch, Like this

890
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 3: is amazing, and playoff hockey, especially when it goes into

891
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 3: overtime periods, it is the best type of live atmosphere

892
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 3: to be around or even if you're just watching at home.

893
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 3: And what a joy it has been this final to

894
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 3: get two games that have gone into overtime. The second

895
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 3: one into two overtime periods.

896
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, as I was. I was at a friends for

897
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 2: dinner and I was like looking and paying attention, trying

898
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 2: to keep up, and then I went to cup was like,

899
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 2: this game is still going, but yes it is, and

900
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,439
Speaker 2: it just is so fun. Ben Marshand was the hero

901
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 2: Brandvarshad why what is it with you?

902
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 4: Got it girl? What is it with me?

903
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 2: And names today fifth career overtime playoff goal. We talked

904
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 2: about Tyre's Halliburton and him being mister Cludge. Brad Marshanda, Yeah,

905
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 2: he former Ruin.

906
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 4: I'm from Boston. I had to throw that in there.

907
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 3: Brad Marshawn, you know fourteen years ago to the exact

908
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 3: day he did that for the Brewing when they won

909
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,720
Speaker 3: the Cup in twenty eleven, the year I graduated high school,

910
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 3: and not to make myself feel old, I remember that's

911
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 3: when I became such a fan of hockey. Like that

912
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 3: twenty eleven run with the Bruins and seeing him do

913
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 3: that for another team as someone from Boston sucks and

914
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 3: it makes me sad. But this is such an interesting

915
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 3: series because it's a rematch of last year's final.

916
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 2: Yes it is, which is the first time since two

917
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 2: thousand and nine that the final has had the same

918
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 2: two teams and consecutive years. I guess that would have

919
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 2: put you in the tenth grade.

920
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 3: I think it was two no, no, But seriously, there's

921
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 3: so many storylines when you get into both of these teams.

922
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 3: Do you know that a team and from Canada, not

923
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 3: just the Oilers, have not won a Stanley Cup final

924
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 3: in thirty two years. So Edmonton is trying to end

925
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 3: that drought. And then there are also Connor McDavid. His

926
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 3: contracts up after next season. All he wants to do

927
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 3: is win a cup. He is like, he's he's so

928
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 3: close and he's such a good player, but the one

929
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 3: thing he doesn't have is a cup. And Edmonton wants

930
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 3: to get this off their back, right. This is the

931
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 3: team that they lost to in seven games a year ago,

932
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 3: and they are These are two teams that are both

933
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 3: very good. And you see it because it went to

934
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 3: seven games last year and now we've gone to overtime,

935
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 3: two overtime periods. It is going to be I think

936
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 3: another seven game series.

937
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 2: Well, when you talk about the contract, and I think

938
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 2: he wants to stay with the Oilers, and I think

939
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 2: they want him to stay, to stay with the Oilers

940
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 2: as well, But how much does this series affect the contract,

941
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 2: the money, the years, all of this thing, all of

942
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 2: these things.

943
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 3: A ton because if you are and we see it

944
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 3: in football, and I know that's what we're most familiar

945
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 3: with covering the NFL. When you are a great player

946
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 3: and you have not won that one thing, the Super Bowl,

947
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 3: the Stanley Cup Final and NBA f how often do

948
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 3: these players say, you know what, I gotta try somewhere else.

949
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 3: Like you when you're young in your career, you're building

950
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 3: with these younger guys and you're you know, maybe you

951
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 3: have some veterans that are helping out. But if it

952
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 3: doesn't work, and you've given your all to a city,

953
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,320
Speaker 3: to a team and it hasn't worked, a certain switch

954
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 3: goes off where we see these athletes, I wouldn't call

955
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 3: them selfish, but their self priorities take over where it's

956
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 3: I really want this, and it's not about the money.

957
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 3: It's not about you know, staying in one place, retiring

958
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 3: in the same place you were drafted. It's about going

959
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 3: home at night and looking in your cabinet, and not

960
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 3: cabinet but trophy.

961
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 4: Kase and seeing you could be a cabinet seeing seeing

962
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 4: that championship ring, and I think it will be interesting.

963
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 3: It'll be a conversation that has had over and over

964
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 3: and over again if he once again does not win

965
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:55,919
Speaker 3: the Stanley Cup this year.

966
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 2: You brought up an interesting point on athletes and and

967
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 2: the quote unquote selfish. And I think, as you said,

968
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 2: it's not initially selfish. They want to win. And I

969
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 2: think fans get upset sometimes like oh he or she left.

970
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 4: And it's a business.

971
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 2: It's a business, one hundred percent. And we talk about

972
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 2: this a lot, but you brought it up, so I

973
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 2: want to talk about it a little bit more. It

974
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 2: is a business. The team will always take care of itself.

975
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 2: The player should always take care of him or herself.

976
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 2: And I know fans get upset, but you can understand

977
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 2: why someone towards the end of the career who has

978
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 2: not won a championship, you don't want to be the

979
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 2: person they're like, well, they won the MVP, they won this,

980
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 2: they win that, but they never were Super Bowl Championship champion.

981
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 2: They never won a World Series. Clayton Kershaw had that,

982
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 2: ye and now the Dodgers have won too it's unusual

983
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 2: that he stayed with them this long when they hadn't

984
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 2: won one with the pitch that he was. But fans

985
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 2: get upset about it. But I think you know you

986
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 2: and I can say, these guys.

987
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 3: Deserve that for how competitive you have to be to

988
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 3: be a professional athlete. And I think we forget yet

989
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 3: about this right because we look at the TV, and

990
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 3: as we were mentioning earlier, we scream.

991
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 4: At the TV.

992
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 3: We tell them what to do. It's so easy to

993
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 3: do it from our seat on the couch. But the

994
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 3: competitiveness that these guys have doesn't just end when you

995
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 3: make it as a professional athlete and you're a starter.

996
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 3: They want rings and they don't want just one. Look

997
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 3: at Lebron James, look at Patrick Mahomes. They want multiple.

998
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 3: They want to be the best. So I wouldn't fault

999
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 3: somebody if they have given their all and for whatever reason,

1000
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 3: the organization the franchise around them isn't working out. I

1001
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 3: don't fault guys when when they leave to try to

1002
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 3: go chase a ring.

1003
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: I agree with you, well, we'll get back to hockey.

1004
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 7: But that was just.

1005
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 2: But there was I just want to talk about that

1006
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 2: because I think I do think it's an important subject

1007
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 2: and it's something that and I get it the passion

1008
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: of fans. As we know, I am a big fan

1009
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 2: of certain teams, and we get the passion. But I

1010
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 2: just think it's worth always mentioning the business side, but

1011
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 2: taking care of business. I hope you enjoyed that little

1012
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 2: segue there Game three Monday night between the Panthers and

1013
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: the Oilers. The Florida Panthers not to be confused with

1014
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 2: the Carolina Panthers, because that would be a lot of

1015
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 2: Panthers that would be really confusing. What do you expect

1016
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 2: to see it? We're gonna get more overtime.

1017
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 4: I think so. I mean it's going to be a

1018
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 4: close scape.

1019
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 3: The fact that this was forced into overtime with just

1020
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 3: seventeen seconds left in the third period last night, that's amazing.

1021
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 4: Just the fans on the edge.

1022
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 3: Of their seats and then you finally get it with

1023
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 3: seventeen seconds to go. Unfortunately, the Oilers then went into

1024
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 3: overtime and lost to the Panthers. But now this is

1025
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 3: going back to Florida. Look, we're talking a lot about

1026
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 3: Edmonton and the Oilers and Connor McDavid, but don't forget.

1027
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 3: The Panthers have something that they're trying to accomplish too.

1028
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 3: They're trying to establish themselves as a dynasty. This is

1029
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 3: the team that has been to the Final for three

1030
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 3: consecutive years. They lost the first year, one last year.

1031
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,359
Speaker 3: They want to establish themselves as a dynasty. You now

1032
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 3: go back home. You have home ice advantage.

1033
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 4: They are going to.

1034
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:05,359
Speaker 2: Be saying home ice.

1035
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 4: I always have to pause and be like home because

1036
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 4: I'm so used to staying home field. Yeah, And I'm like, wait,

1037
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,959
Speaker 4: what court field? Can we just like have one word

1038
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 4: for home advantage?

1039
00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,959
Speaker 2: Maybe we can figure out what that one word would be.

1040
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 3: Right, But look, they want to go home in front

1041
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 3: of their fans and keep this momentum. They got one,

1042
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 3: you know in Edmonton. Now the series is tied one one.

1043
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 3: I think the Panthers want to go back home and

1044
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 3: head back to Edmonton with a.

1045
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 4: Three to one lead.

1046
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure they do.

1047
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 3: So it's going to start, you know, it's going to

1048
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 3: start in front of their fans and hockey fans, hockey arenas.

1049
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 3: Because of the way it's set up and how small

1050
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 3: and tight it is, and like the glass and being

1051
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 3: able to bring on the glass.

1052
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 4: There is such a big difference of where you play.

1053
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 2: Oh. Absolutely, It's funny to your earlier point that you

1054
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 2: grew up in the Northeast, so you've always been a

1055
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 2: hockey fan. Your husband grew up in the South and

1056
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 2: you wasn't so much a hockey fan. Florida is not

1057
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:05,800
Speaker 2: necessary the place where like hockey dynasties are born in Florida.

1058
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 2: So I think that itself would be really cool.

1059
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

1060
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 3: I covered the Carolina Hurricanes for four seasons, obviously North Carolina,

1061
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 3: and if people are listening, either people hate the.

1062
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 4: Hurricanes or love them. If you're a fan, you're a fan.

1063
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 3: But the rest of the world hates the Hurricanes because

1064
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 3: of the celebration that they do after games. There's all

1065
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:30,280
Speaker 3: this history there. But I will say to your point,

1066
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 3: another team in the South they tailgate for games. It's

1067
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 3: the strangest thing because you're outside it's like eighty ninety

1068
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 3: degrees during the playoffs, and then you go inside to

1069
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 3: a hockey rink, which you associate with a cold environment

1070
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 3: like the Northeast. But these are some of the craziest

1071
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 3: fans I've ever experienced. And I say all this to

1072
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 3: say it's similar to the Florida. Florida Panther fans, they

1073
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 3: love it. You wouldn't expect hockey in Florida, but they

1074
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 3: have embrace their Panthers and it's something that has become

1075
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,320
Speaker 3: part of Florida now for the Panthers.

1076
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 2: I love that, I really do. I think that's awesome,

1077
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 2: that that is really fun. We keep saying the Panthers.

1078
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 2: We had talked a little bit about this earlier this week.

1079
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 2: Florida Panthers, Carolina Panthers. We have the La Kings and

1080
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 2: the Sacramento Kings.

1081
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 4: Confuses me.

1082
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 2: Are there more teams like this?

1083
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 3: Ah, you're putting me on the spot here, Tracy, I

1084
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 3: am putting on but I comes to mind.

1085
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 2: But there has to be there, definitely has to be.

1086
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 4: I don't know. Someone asks chat chebt.

1087
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,280
Speaker 2: You can ask chat in the interim.

1088
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 4: I like, I can't even think for myself anymore.

1089
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 2: Chatchebt has become in some ways my best friend.

1090
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 4: No, it's so bad.

1091
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 2: I ask it everything now It's not always right.

1092
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:48,959
Speaker 3: No, you have to be like double check this chat

1093
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 3: or when it says something wrong, I'll literally be like

1094
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 3: you're wrong, and it's like I'm so sorry, Bridget, I'm like, no,

1095
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:55,760
Speaker 3: you shouldn't be wrong.

1096
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 2: You're AI. Do you tell it that too?

1097
00:50:58,160 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 7: Yes?

1098
00:50:58,760 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 2: Does it?

1099
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 3: When I think I posted this on my story the

1100
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 3: other day, Am I the only one who fights with

1101
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 3: chat GPT?

1102
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 2: No, sometimes I fight with chatcheat. I don't usually, And

1103
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 2: this is me like being afraid of AI. I think

1104
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 2: that I don't usually write my fight, though it can

1105
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 2: probably hear me when I'm like, well, that's wrong, and

1106
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 2: that annoys me, and then I'll write whatever my next

1107
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 2: question was. But I do appreciate that it gives you

1108
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 2: information and then ask you if you'd like more information

1109
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 2: and would you like links, and would you like photos?

1110
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,399
Speaker 2: And I have to say I really appreciate that.

1111
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you chat GPT, because I now have a

1112
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:35,280
Speaker 3: list of We've got the King Sacramento, Los Angeles. Okay,

Speaker 3: you've got the Panthers, Charlotte, Florida, The Giants Duh of

Speaker 3: the Cardinals, Arizona Cardinals, Saint Louis Cardinals.

1117
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 4: How did we not think about that?

1118
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 7: Oh?

1119
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 4: Because I'm not using my brain anymore because I.

1120
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 2: Gave you any chatchabt. Also I did really put you

1121
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 2: on the spot, and then we really had.

1122
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 4: To know it's okay.

1123
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 3: But the one thing I'll use chat GPT for because

1124
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 3: I do still have originality in me. But it's a

1125
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 3: lot of times like TikTok captions, Instagram captions, and it'll

1126
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 3: say something cheesy and I'm like, you're being cheesy. Do

1127
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 3: something funnier and it'll say something it's so corny. I'm like,

1128
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 3: be funny. And it got to a point where we

1129
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 3: were going back and forth so much that chat was like,

1130
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 3: can you give me an example of something you think

1131
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 3: is funny so I have a better idea of what

1132
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 3: you think is funny.

1133
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 2: Because it wants to get to know you. I think

1134
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 2: that's amazingly.

1135
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 4: I don't know just to be funny chat.

1136
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 2: Is that I'm a little embarrassed as to what I

1137
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 2: use it for this week, But this feels like a

1138
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 2: safe space. So I'm going to tell you about it,

1139
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 2: and I think you actually you do, No, I don't

1140
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 2: think you know. This is how I found it. But

1141
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 2: we talked about Kylie and Timothy earlier at the Knicks games.

1142
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 2: I really liked the leather pants she had.

1143
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 4: On chat told you about them.

1144
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 2: I went on a deep dive. I couldn't find them.

1145
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 2: I asked chat GBT. It sent links and then there

1146
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 2: was a specific photo that she posted of her and

1147
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,879
Speaker 2: Kendall Jenner and I took the picture and I put

1148
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 2: it in CHATCHBT, and CHATCHBT told me that it was

1149
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 2: her brands faux leather pants, which by the way, are

1150
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 2: extremely comfortable and flattering. Not an I just want to

1151
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 2: let you know, but chat ChiPT is how I found them.

1152
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 4: Are we getting dumber? Are we getting smarter?

1153
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 2: That's a really fair question. I think it's work smarter,

1154
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:19,399
Speaker 2: not harder. And as opposed to me going all over

1155
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,959
Speaker 2: the internet looking for the pants, chat GBT, I showed

1156
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 2: it a picture and there it was, which PS super

1157
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 2: super impressed by. So there you go.

1158
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 4: Let's ask it. Who's going to win the game tonight?

1159
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 2: Ask it?

1160
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 4: All right, We'll let you know.

1171
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 2: chat chept who was gonna win the NBA player NBA

1172
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 2: Finals game tonight said the Thunder And I'm patting myself

1173
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 2: on the back because it said it was gonna win decisively.

1174
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 2: And I think someone else, a real person, said that

1175
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 2: earlier today.

1176
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 3: This is why I fight with chat GPT, Like, why

1177
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 3: couldn't it's my chat GPT that we asked, Okay, why

1178
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,280
Speaker 3: couldn't it have listened or like heard through the waves

1179
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 3: that I was picking Pacers and backed me up. And

1180
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 3: not only that, says game one was more of a

1181
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,760
Speaker 3: wake up call than a trend. Expect OKAC to tighten defense,

1182
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 3: limit turnovers, and dominate in the first half. Tracy, when

1183
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 3: the Pacers destroy the Thunder tonight, I'm writing back being

1184
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 3: like that, I thought you thought the Thunder were gonna win.

1185
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,439
Speaker 2: Are you gonna write me that too on Twitter. Absolutely, Okay, fine,

1186
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 2: I will look forward to it. Go thought, all of

1187
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 2: a sudden, I'm so invested in I'm.

1188
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 4: So angry right now at chat.

1189
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,720
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, find I hope you guys make up. No, okay,

1190
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 2: well you guys talk for a minute. We're gonna be

1191
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,760
Speaker 2: talking a little bit WNBA in a bit with our guests.

1192
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 2: But just a couple things to keep in mind. Caitlin Clark,

1193
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,919
Speaker 2: who has been out, should be back next week. Paige

1194
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 2: Becker's still out with a concussion. Timeline TBD, The Liberty

1195
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 2: and Links are still dominating, but we have a guest

1196
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 2: coming on in just a bit to talk more WNBA.

1197
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,280
Speaker 2: In the meantime, we are going to talk a little

1198
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. We have the Cubs and the Tigers

1199
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 2: playing this weekend. I find it to be interesting series

1200
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,720
Speaker 2: because both of these teams are doing fantastic. The Tigers

1201
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 2: are basically the best team in baseball right now, so

1202
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 2: I think that's a fun NL Central Al Central matchup.

1203
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,919
Speaker 2: The Tigers took the first one, but there's some other

1204
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 2: things going on this weekend in baseball that I think

1205
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 2: are mentioning. Corbin Burns Ace of the Arizona Diamondbacks is

1206
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 2: having Tommy John surgery. He is in year one of

1207
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,720
Speaker 2: a six year, two hundred and ten million dollar contract,

1208
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 2: so obviously his season is ending early. But there's been

1209
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 2: a trend in these last couple of years of a

1210
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 2: lot of pitching injuries. The Dodgers hosted the forty nin ERDs.

1211
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 2: The Dodgers put Tony Gonsolin on the today. He's one

1212
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 2: of a plethora, and I do mean plethera of Dodgers'

1213
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 2: pitchers who are on the il. And it's just it's

1214
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 2: an interesting trend. I saw a story earlier today. It's

1215
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 2: why teams are a little bit hesitant to give these

1216
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 2: huge contracts to pictures because of all these injuries that

1217
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 2: are happening. But I don't know, Bridget, I don't know

1218
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 2: what we do about it. Well, not we, because we

1219
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 2: aren't going to be able to do anything about it,

1220
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 2: but I don't know what Baseball does about it. I

1221
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 2: just think it's interesting and obviously something people a lot

1222
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 2: of people are talking about keeping an eye on.

1223
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 3: I want to know the research behind this because there

1224
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 3: are a couple reasons. When you tell me pictures are

1225
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 3: experiencing a higher amount of injuries these days. There are

1226
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 3: a couple things that come to mind. One, could it

1227
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:49,040
Speaker 3: be that the fastball now is, you know, ninety four

1228
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 3: to ninety six miles per hour faster than it was

1229
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 3: a decade ago. Yeah, obviously, like if you're if you're

1230
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 3: whipping the ball faster, you're talking about now your elbow,

1231
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 3: your core, your shoulder, that pressure on those joints, that

1232
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 3: that could be affecting it.

1233
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 2: But also that, by the way, that is one of

1234
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 2: the big things affect That is one of the big

1235
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 2: things people fail affecting it. Chat told you no, no, no,

1236
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 2: not Chat the story I read really today.

1237
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 4: I bet he would tell you too.

1238
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: No.

1239
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 3: But also the social media, like you've just seen this

1240
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 3: in not just baseball but every sport that these parents,

1241
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 3: for good or for worse, are for better or for worse.

1242
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 3: Are starting their kids so young thinking that they are

1243
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 3: going to be the next Lebron James, the next Sho

1244
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 3: Heo Tani, the next big star.

1245
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 2: In the next Halliburton. Yeah.

1246
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have their kids in these insane camps so

1247
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 3: early on, And like are the kids pitching younger? Are

1248
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 3: they working with personal trainers, personal pitching coaches so much

1249
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 3: earlier than they were a decade or two ago. And

1250
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 3: how how does the effect of starting so much younger

1251
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 3: impact you when you're in the MLB at twenty five

1252
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 3: thirty years old and have been doing it for twenty

1253
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 3: five years.

1254
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 2: And with the fastball changing, so you're starting that earlier too,

1255
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 2: So that's something to keep in mind. So I don't know,

1256
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 2: it's just something that I thought about when I saw

1257
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 2: Corbyn Burns was having Tommy John surgery. It just kind

1258
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 2: of jumped out to me and wanted to talk about that.

1259
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 2: But something else happened this week in baseball, and I'm

1260
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 2: definitely overdramatizing it already. But speaking of large contracts, Wan

1261
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 2: Sotos signed a huge contract with the Mets this offseason.

1262
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 2: Highest played player in baseball. Not starting out great though

1263
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 2: his numbers very similar to how he started in Washington,

1264
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 2: San Diego and with the Yankees, So this is not

1265
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 2: completely off base, no pun intended, but also pun one

1266
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 2: hundred percent intended, but so not completely off base. But

1267
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 2: we saw him this week, and you know, I like

1268
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 2: this because it was against the Dodgers. He kind of

1269
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 2: started to feel his stride and there was a cool

1270
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 2: exchange with him and Tony Gonsolin the other day where

1271
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 2: they were kind of laughing tease each other between pitches

1272
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 2: in a professional serious way, and we saw him do

1273
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 2: the so toe shuffle for the first time this season.

1274
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 2: And I don't know. I used to not love one

1275
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 2: Soto and I don't know why that is. And now

1276
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 2: I am so on this Wan Sodo train when he

1277
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 2: is not playing the Dodgers. I think I like a

1278
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 2: feel good story. I felt bad for him. I mean,

1279
00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 2: I know he's making hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars,

1280
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 2: so I don't need to feel that better him, but

1281
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 2: I felt bad for him. I mean, Mets fans were

1282
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 2: getting impatient. They're really tough in New York. I don't know,

1283
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 2: it's fun to see it.

1284
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 3: I think anytime a player shows his personality, his or

1285
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 3: her personality.

1286
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 4: It makes you feel the way you're feeling.

1287
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 3: So often we forget that, oh, this person actually is

1288
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 3: a human inside of this athletic.

1289
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 4: Body that we see.

1290
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 3: But I feel that things are trending in the right

1291
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 3: direction for Sodo. He broke his seventeen game homer drought

1292
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 3: May thirty first, and not only that, in a span

1293
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 3: of five games, he's hit three homers, yes, regaining his swagger,

1294
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 3: so all signs are pouring towards him regaining his stride.

1295
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 3: He's not quite there yet, as we mentioned, not back

1296
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 3: to his MVP type self, but definitely on the upswing.

1297
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,439
Speaker 2: And it is pun intended, but pun intended too.

1298
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 4: I like that You're the princess of puns.

1299
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 2: I love. I'm gonna honestly, that's the nicest thing anybody's

1300
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 2: ever said to me.

1301
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, Tracy, Pun pun Sandler, Pun Pundler.

1302
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 2: Tracey, Now I liked the Princess of punts?

1303
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 4: All right? Fine?

1304
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean I think when he's playing better

1305
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 3: then we see that personality come out a little bit.

1306
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 3: But god, you are so right when you hit it.

1307
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 3: New York is not gonna let you slide.

1308
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 2: By another baseball fun.

1309
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 4: I'm not even trying to do something.

1310
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 2: Well, it's actually kind of funny because there are a

1311
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 2: lot of puns that really work with baseball and are used.

1312
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 2: So here is my question, speaking of personalities, real quick,

1313
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 2: he's got the Sodo shuffle, what would be the bridget

1314
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 2: celebration for a home run?

1315
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 3: Oh God, Tracy, I don't like corniness, as you can

1316
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 3: tell by my conversations with Chat, I would do so

1317
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 3: if I'm hitting a home run, I'm really much more

1318
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 3: athletic than I am right now, I.

1319
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 4: Do a backflip.

1320
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Like I'd run around the bases and as

1321
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 3: I got back to home backflip into home into home plate.

1322
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, I like that.

1323
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 4: I don't like corny and that's like pretty cool.

1324
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna backflip. I don't know if that even

1325
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 2: made sense over to Martin Wise for an update, but

1326

Speaker 7: Well, thank you, Tracy, it does fit well. A lot

1373
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 7: of people think it's a stage name. Can confirm it

1374
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 7: is not. I got lucky with that one.

1375
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,919
Speaker 2: Well, I love it all right. Tell us a little

1376
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 2: bit about the Valkyries and kind of how they've been

1377
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 2: embraced in the Bay Area and just kind of what

1378
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 2: are the top things going on right now in the

1379
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 2: WNBA that you feel that we should be paying attention to.

1380
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, the Valkyries have stormed onto the scene.

1381
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 7: This has been and mentally successful expansion team outside of

1382
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 7: their record, just from what they're doing entering this league

1383
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 7: five straight sellout games at home. The entire Bay has

1384
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 7: really adopted them as a team that they want to

1385
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 7: root for as if they were the Warriors of the

1386
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 7: Giants of the forty nine ers, and there's been a

1387
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 7: ton of backing from the jump. And of course it's

1388
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 7: an expansion team, so you would imagine the expectations are

1389
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 7: pretty low in year one, but they've actually played really well.

1390
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 7: Their last four games are against the top four teams

1391
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 7: in the WNBA. They kept it tight against the New

1392
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 7: York Liberty when they were out in Brooklyn. They kept

1393
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 7: it really tight and led it half against the Minnesota

1394
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 7: Lynx the Phoenix Mercury on Thursday night, they go into

1395
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 7: the final minute with a lead and just weren't able

1396
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 7: to hang on. And then today, entering his ten and

1397
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,720
Speaker 7: a half point dogs against the Aces, they beat it

1398
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 7: by twenty seven. So this is a team that has

1399
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 7: quickly burst out and probably turning some heads into WNBA

1400
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 7: when you look at the practice facilities that they have,

1401
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 7: and you look at the fact that they play at

1402
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 7: Chase Center, and oh, by the way, They're owned by

1403
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 7: Joe lacub who clearly invests a lot in his basketball teams,

1404
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 7: and this is going to be a franchise that a

1405
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 7: lot of players in the WNBA are gonna want to

1406
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 7: play for the league as a whole. I mean, the

1407
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 7: story that's sort of dominating right now is Caitlyn Clark

1408
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 7: and her injury. And I know a lot of people

1409
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 7: today were excited to watch her take on Angel Reese.

1410
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 7: That's become the rivalry that you can compare to the

1411
01:05:26,440 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 7: Red Sox and the Yankees. But no Caitlyn Clark dealing

1412
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 7: with a quad injury. But hopefully they'll play the Valkyries

1413
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 7: here in a few weeks, and I know everybody in

1414
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 7: the Bay Area is hoping that she's back and healthy

1415
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 7: for that one.

1416
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 3: You mentioned the Links that a team you guys already faced.

1417
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 3: I say, you guys, but I know you're not part

1418
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 3: of part of.

1419
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 4: The you know what I mean.

1420
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 3: You know what I mean when you witness that, I

1421
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 3: assume you were there. They're one of the hottest teams

1422
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 3: in the w What was your takeaway from what they're doing.

1423
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 7: I mean, it's just impressive what the Links have done.

1424
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 7: And I mean that team that just came up short

1425
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 7: in the finals a year ago, and they've just continued

1426
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 7: to stack and add players, and they were down a

1427
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 7: half to the Valkyries, and I think everybody was surprised

1428
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 7: by that, and then came out and just turned it

1429
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 7: on and they immediately showed Okay, this is this is

1430
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 7: a team that maybe Golden State can't hang with just

1431
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 7: yet and blew them out. But I mean with the

1432
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 7: Links and the Liberty have done the last few years

1433
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 7: and turning into really successful and profitable franchises is great

1434
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,439
Speaker 7: for the league and has been really impressive to watch.

1435
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 2: We're going to switch gears to the NBA a Game

1436
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 2: two of the finals tonight. Bridge and I are a

1437
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 2: little bit at odds here over who is going to win.

1438
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 2: Bridget thinks the Pacers just dominate tonight and sweep. I

1439
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 2: think the Thunder come back and decisively. Me and chat

1440
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 2: CHVT thinks that I would love your thoughts. You've spent

1441
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 2: a lot of the year covering the NBA before before

1442
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 2: the Warriors were out. What did you what did you

1443
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 2: see in game one? And how do you think Oklahoma

1444
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 2: City bounces back?

1445
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 7: I think in game one it's pretty much exactly how

1446
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,920
Speaker 7: I thought the first three quarters were gonna go. I

1447
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 7: came into this series thing that OKAC would win in

1448
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 7: five or maybe six games, and that's exactly what it

1449
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 7: looked like. Okay See came out, they dominated. They have

1450
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 7: the MVP on their roster, but the Pacers, and what's

1451
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,320
Speaker 7: made them so good, especially in these playoffs, is that

1452
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 7: they never seem to be out of it. And when

1453
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 7: you have one of these special players, and Tyre's Halliburton,

1454
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 7: who clearly has that clutch gene, they're never out of it.

1455
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 7: And he's hit four shots now in the playoffs that

1456
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 7: have won them games. I do think Okay See can

1457
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 7: even this thing up fairly easily this weekend, and to

1458
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 7: get one at home is a must for them before

1459
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 7: they head out to Indiana. So I certainly expect Shay

1460
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 7: and lou Dort and Chet to come out and handle business.

1461
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 7: There's no way that this is going to be a

1462
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 7: sweep or a gentleman's sweep. I would certainly imagine that

1463
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 7: this thing now goes six maybe seven games.

1464
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 3: All Right, I want to ask you, because all of

1465
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 3: a sudden, I'm Tyrese Haliburton's number one fan.

1466
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 4: I don't know why.

1467
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:07,440
Speaker 3: Again, like I keep saying, I'm from Boston, I should

1468
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 3: be mad like this, I'm a number one. I don't

1469
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 3: know anyways, I am for whatever reason, Golden State. I

1470
01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 3: assume you witness the rise of Steph Curry. Do you

1471
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 3: believe we're witnessing something similar with Tyre's Halliburton.

1472
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 7: I maybe wouldn't go that far. I mean, Steph Curry

1473
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 7: is going to be, you know, a top five most

1474
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,599
Speaker 7: special player that we've probably ever seen in the NBA.

1475
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 7: Is the greatest shooter that basketball has ever seen. He's

1476
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 7: never seen a shot that he doesn't like, and most

1477
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 7: of the time he hits it. So this is a

1478
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 7: special run from Tyre's Halliburton. I certainly don't think I

1479
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 7: could go on record right now and go, Okay, yeah,

1480
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 7: it's the making of another step. We probably won't see

1481
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 7: another step, and if we do, it probably won't be

1482
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 7: for a very very long time. But there's there's no

1483
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 7: down playing how incredible Haliburton has been, especially in these playoffs,

1484
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 7: and after doing the choke sign, you know, everything could

1485
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,680
Speaker 7: have gone south for them and they still came out

1486
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,599
Speaker 7: and won that series. But right the second now, I'm

1487
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,560
Speaker 7: gonna hold off on those comparisons.

1488
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 2: Are you willing to say whether your team Bridget or

1489
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 2: Team Tracy.

1490
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 4: Is obviously everybody right mind is team you?

1491
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 7: Like?

1492
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 4: Let me just say that this is not my opinion

1493
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 4: based on logic, Okay, it's just based on fact. Okay, No,

1494
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 4: I'm just kidding.

1495
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna move to the NL West and another

1496
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 2: Bay Area team, Mat because I've seen you at a

1497
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,160
Speaker 2: lot of at a lot of Giants, because I think

1498
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 2: we've established your Team Tracy, so we don't have to

1499
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 2: be labored the I'm on that. I'm on that with you,

1500
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:36,839
Speaker 2: Thank you, Thank you very much. Uh. The San Francisco

1501
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 2: Giants having some trouble scoring, which has been a problem

1502
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers too, But I think this is a

1503
01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 2: team people are pretty excited about, pretty excited with with

1504
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 2: what Buster Posey is doing. The NL West is a

1505
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 2: really really good division. But what is going on with

1506
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 2: this team? Why can't they get the baseball?

1507
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 7: It's been bizarre. And when you go out and you

1508
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 7: invest a ton of money and Matt Chatman to bring

1509
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:01,640
Speaker 7: him back, they did, And then they go out and

1510
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 7: they signed Willie Dominson. They give more money than they've

1511
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 7: ever given a player, and he's had to start to

1512
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,040
Speaker 7: the season that he's had, it's been really disappointing. And

1513
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:11,599
Speaker 7: they're lucky that they've got the best bullpen in baseball

1514
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 7: and that they're starting pitching has been great, because if

1515
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 7: it's not for those two things, the Giants could very

1516
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 7: easily be looking at ten fifteen games out already because

1517
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 7: of how competitive the West has been, and with the

1518
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 7: Dodgers and Padres at the top, and you can never

1519
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 7: count out Arizona. San Francisco's pretty lucky to be in

1520
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 7: the spot they're in. Elliott Ramos is one of the

1521
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 7: more underrated hitters in baseball, there's no doubt about that.

1522
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 7: But they shook things up this week. They got rid

1523
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:40,559
Speaker 7: of wlmont Way junior Yasterzrimsky might be on the chopping

1524
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:44,759
Speaker 7: block next. They need another power bat in their lineup.

1525
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:46,680
Speaker 7: It might be Bryce Eldridge, But that's a lot to

1526
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 7: put on the plate of someone who's twenty one and

1527
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 7: just got the triple A this week. So I don't

1528
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 7: think it's sustainable what the Giants are doing. And Buster

1529
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 7: Posey has shown all indications that he's going to be

1530
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 7: really aggressive, and so I would imagine something at the

1531
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 7: deadline will will be made to try to push them

1532
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 7: over the top.

1533
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 2: The Dodgers come to town this week, I believe, and I'm

1534
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,680
Speaker 2: right on that, correct, Yes, that is something I should know,

1535
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 2: So I'm glad I'm right in that. They're also having

1536
01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 2: a little trouble hitting the last couple of days, so

1537
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 2: it'll be interested to see see what happens. But this

1538
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:17,160
Speaker 2: will be the first time they play each other this season. Matt,

1539
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 2: We've talked to you about a few different sports, and

1540
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 2: it's funny. In October, we always feel like that's the

1541
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 2: greatest time in sports. You have the NFL, NBA training camps,

1542
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 2: you have you know, MLB playoffs. It's feeling like this

1543
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 2: time of year is rivaling that with the Stanley Cup Final,

1544
01:11:33,520 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 2: with the NBA Finals, the WNBA, Major League Baseball. As

1545
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 2: a reporter who's been covering many of those things, agree

1546
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 2: or disagree and do you have a favorite? And I

1547
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 2: know that probably puts you on the spot.

1548
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 7: No, you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna disagree only

1549
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,679
Speaker 7: because and you know you see me weekend and week

1550
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:56,679
Speaker 7: out at Levi Stadium. I love football. I think few

1551
01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:00,599
Speaker 7: things are better than the NFL season and you couple

1552
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 7: that with the start off college basketball. You're in the

1553
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 7: thick of the college football season, and you're coming down

1554
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 7: to the Fall Classic in baseball, as hockey and basketball

1555
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 7: tips off. October's probably, in my opinion, the best time,

1556
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 7: the best calendar portion of the sports here.

1557
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 2: All right, Well, you know what, after that explanation, I

1558
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,800
Speaker 2: am also going to disagree with myself. I think you're right.

1559
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:23,680
Speaker 4: I take it.

1560
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:24,639
Speaker 2: I take it all back.

1561
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:25,400
Speaker 4: All right, Matt.

1562
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 2: As the WNBA goes on, what are you most looking

1563
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 2: forward to season to seeing and what do you think

1564
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 2: people should be looking out for?

1565
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:37,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I definitely the Valkyries are a team

1566
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 7: to look out for, and you know that's the team

1567
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 7: I cover, so it's easy for me to say that.

1568
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:45,519
Speaker 7: But certainly, I mean, I'm excited to see how far

1569
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 7: they can go, how many heads they're going to turn

1570
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 7: as this season continues. They've they've shrunk together three or

1571
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 7: four really good games in a row, and so I'm

1572
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 7: curious to see is it a fluke or is this

1573
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 7: going to be something that they can maintain. The euro

1574
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 7: Cup is coming up, the WNBA will lose a lot

1575
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,799
Speaker 7: of players to go play overseas. And so that's certainly

1576
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:06,879
Speaker 7: something to keep an eye on. But I think anybody

1577
01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:09,559
Speaker 7: who's a casual fan or a dieard, they are invested

1578
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:11,680
Speaker 7: in Kaitlyn Clark and they want to know with the

1579
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 7: moves that the Indiana Fever made this offseason, is it

1580
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 7: going to be the team that goes to the finals

1581
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 7: and now Caitlin Clark is established and get her team there,

1582
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 7: or if this is going to be a couple of

1583
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 7: year project, just like it was with Sabrina and Nescue.

1584
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:27,799
Speaker 2: Matt, I'm not going to make you pick a finals winner,

1585
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 2: but before I let you go, how many games do

1586
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 2: you think the NBA Finals goes?

1587
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 7: I'm going to go, you know what, because selfishly, I'm

1588
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 7: going to go seven.

1589
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 2: Okay, I can live with that. Matt lit Why not?

1610
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:37,800
Speaker 2: So I don't know if you saw this earlier this week,

1611
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 2: but cousin, yes, no, no, but a lot of people

1612
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 2: do think that you almost got me there too, So

1613
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:46,639
Speaker 2: I was like, yes, no, but not related as far

1614
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:48,720
Speaker 2: as we know. But that would be a feel good

1615
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 2: story too one time if we find out that we

1616
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 2: are in fact.

1617
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:54,000
Speaker 3: Adam, I know you're listening, so just DM Tracy on

1618
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 3: Instagram with your fingerprint so we can confirm.

1619
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:59,639
Speaker 2: Please, yep, that would be great. In the meantime, Adam

1620
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 2: Sandler this week said that if Derrick Henry hits two

1621
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:04,719
Speaker 2: thousand yards he's gonna put him in one of his movies.

1622
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 2: Love it and they had like a phone call, a

1623
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 2: whole social media think it's great. So anyways, I thought

1624
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 2: that was really fun because like, this is the thing

1625
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 2: that's cool. Athletes are people, two guys, and so Derrick Henry,

1626
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:18,879
Speaker 2: one of the great running backs of our time, trumendous athlete,

1627
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 2: would be really excited to be in an Adam Sandler

1628
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:22,639
Speaker 2: movie as.

1629
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:24,639
Speaker 4: He should be one hundred percent how fun.

1630
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:28,439
Speaker 3: Adam Sandler movies are always funny, that is true, And

1631
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry was one of my favorite interviews. We interviewed

1632
01:15:31,320 --> 01:15:33,720
Speaker 3: him last year at training camp when he uh, you know,

1633
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:36,559
Speaker 3: first season obviously with the Ravens. Great guy, Like you

1634
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,559
Speaker 3: see this guy who's drinking avocado smoothies and like mister

1635
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,600
Speaker 3: like focused he's when he walks up, like there's not

1636
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 3: an ounce of fat on that guy's bones, and you're like, oh,

1637
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 3: this guy's gonna be real serious.

1638
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:50,720
Speaker 4: He wasn't like so respectable, so nice. I want this

1639
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:52,320
Speaker 4: to happen. How many yards does he have to rush?

1640
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 2: Two thousand?

1641
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 4: Okay, fine, done, done and done done? When is the movie?

1642

1643
01:15:57,920 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go. I like that dune, and I'm sure

1644
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 2: that Derek Henry would also appreciate that. You're like done

1645
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 2: and done, easy, done.

1646
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 3: I got you just like ty Reese. I'm Derick Henry's

1647
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 3: number one fan. It's like a big day for Bridget

1648
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 3: and you need me to be a fan. Just I

1649
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:13,559
Speaker 3: got it, I got it. Okay, you want to hear mine,

1650
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 3: I sure do. Let's go back to hockey because we're

1651
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 3: hockey goals.

1652
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 2: We are hockey gals.

1653
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 7: Now.

1654
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 4: NHL brought back It's Stanley Pup event. Did you see this?

1655
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 3: Yes?

1656
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 4: Okay?

1657
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:26,720
Speaker 3: A friendly competition featuring adoptable rescue dogs. All thirty two

1658
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 3: teams were represented by a four legged friend, showcasing their

1659
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 3: skills on ice. The goal is to raise awareness about

1660
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 3: pet adoption and support shelter animals.

1661
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 4: Incredible.

1662
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 2: I just want you to know that if I attended

1663
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 2: that event, I would call you and be like Bridge

1664
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 2: and I have thirty two new dogs. I think they

1665
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:45,680
Speaker 2: all just run around my house. That would be a

1666
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:49,040
Speaker 2: dream come true. I did see that. It was adorable.

1667
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 3: It is such a great idea. Whoever came up with

1668
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 3: that probably was chat needs a promotion. Because who doesn't

1669
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 3: love dogs? Who doesn't love dogs? On the ice and

1670
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:04,639
Speaker 3: it raises I mean we're talking about it. People are

1671
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,160
Speaker 3: talking about it, and that's the whole purpose, right, So

1672
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:09,679
Speaker 3: many of these cute little doggies are in these shelters

1673
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:10,639
Speaker 3: and they need homes.

1674
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 2: As a dog mom of two rescues, I could not

1675
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:16,599
Speaker 2: make it three May thirty or make it thirty two,

1676
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 2: thirty four thirty four. Yes that I know. My parents

1677
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 2: are listening right now thinking the problem is that she's

1678
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 2: not entirely kidding.

1679
01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 3: Not a big backyard, right, just put them back there

1680
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 3: and come let them in and give them treats, and.

1681
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure that don't work out. Just fine.

1682
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 3: You would be the person where if they're like I

1683
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:34,640
Speaker 3: have thirty two dogs, a lot of times it's like

1684
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 3: what's wrong with this person?

1685
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 4: Oh my god, these poor dogs. But like I would

1686
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 4: be like, yes, and they all.

1687
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 2: Love you, that's true, and I would love them all.

1688
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you would.

1689
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:45,640
Speaker 3: I mean, you should have a hotel for dogs. You

1690
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 3: should literally start your own shelter. Again, radio talk doesn't

1691
01:17:50,479 --> 01:17:53,840
Speaker 3: work out. Tracy Shelter, the what did I call you?

1692
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,680
Speaker 3: The Princess of puns, Princess of Punts will be your

1693
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 3: ring Princess and Puppies.

1694
01:17:57,920 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 4: You're oh, that could be the name of my shelter.

1695
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:02,559
Speaker 2: This is the most feel good.

1696
01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 4: And then you can get Adam Sandler to sponsor.

1697
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:06,680
Speaker 2: It and potentially make a movie about me and my

1698
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:07,639
Speaker 2: thirty four dollars.
