1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 2: Hello, Hello, Hello, Happy Saturday Satury.

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Yay.

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 3: I like that.

5
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 4: It's also show Saturday, which we can get to in

6
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 4: a second. But Tracy Sandler here with Nikki Ka back

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 4: with you for the next couple hours to talk all

8
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 4: things in the world of sports.

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 3: A tree, It is a tree.

10
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 5: Happy July. Happy, everything is happy today always. I love that.

11
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 5: I love that.

12
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 3: How was your week? Week was great?

13
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: I really enjoy this time of the year because it

14
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: is a catcher breath moment. I mean, as always, things

15
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: are happening in the sports world, but it's a little

16
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: bit of you know, time to focus on things that

17
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: like Wimbledon, the American Century Classic going on in Tahoe,

18
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: just sports that celebrate.

19
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 3: The essence of summer.

20
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 5: I like that, boy, this time of year, the essence

21
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 5: of summer. That's that's lovely.

22
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: I am sure week.

23
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 4: My week was good on a personal professional level, good, great,

24
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 4: nothing to complain about, just you know, a little bit

25
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 4: of a tough week for Dodger fans.

26
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, seven seven loss calamity.

27
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 4: In fact, I've asked that they put the Dodger game

28
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 4: on in here, and because I'm apparently I'm a glutton

29
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 4: because it's just I can't masochistic mass. I might like

30
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: to say seven game losing streak. It's it's tough, but

31
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 4: today is show day. Show Heo Toni's starting for the

32
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 4: Dodgers at Oracle Park.

33
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 3: Some good takeaways.

34
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 5: From last night's gain.

35
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 4: The loss, but they were down eight to two, battled

36
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 4: back to make it eight to seven. At least they're

37
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 4: hitting again, but their leading the division has gone from

38
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 4: nine to four in a week.

39
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 5: And don't love that?

40
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 3: Where is your panic meter?

41
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm always intrigued with baseball fans because obviously

42
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: the season is very long, and yet the course of

43
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two games, I mean game losing

44
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: streak doesn't seem that calamitous. Yes, but I mean, how

45
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: how do you digest this sort of skid?

46
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: The reporter in me who doesn't cover the do the

47
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: reporter of me says they're gonna be fine. Tyler Glass

48
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 4: pitchwell the other day, so that action totally assuming that stays.

49
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: They're supposed to get Blake Snell back after the All

50
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 4: Star break, Blake trying to so there'll be some help

51
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: in the arms. I think Dusty May should probably end

52
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: up going to the bullpen, but that might be a

53
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 4: conversation for another time. So in that regard, I'm like,

54
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 4: they're gonna be fine. They're gonna be fine.

55
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: You're literally the dog sitting sorry, you're the dog meme

56
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: sitting with the flame.

57
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: That's basically me. That's me as the reporter. Okay, the

58
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 4: fan in me is like, they're never gonna win another

59
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 4: game again in the rest of the franchise, and I

60
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 4: don't know what to do about it because I can't

61
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: do anything about it. And why aren't the shirts that

62
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: normally work working? And so there's like two It's like

63
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 4: like angel devil but not. But there's two parts of me.

64
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 4: I'm trying to listen to the reporter in me, but

65
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: the fan in me is very passionate, as you all know.

66
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the undulation, the roller coaster of

67
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 2: those sorts of emotions is what makes being a fan

68
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: so great.

69
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: I tend to look at it, you know.

70
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: With the zoomed out view and okay, seven game losing streak,

71
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: I know it's uh a little setting new records for

72
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: the Dodgers in terms of I forget when the last

73
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: it's been years.

74
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 4: It's been years well, and I'm not so concerned about

75
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 4: the losing. They're gonna win games, like I'm not worried

76
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 4: about that. I think what's concerning in the losing streak

77
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 4: is the lack of being able to hit.

78
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 5: It was it was as if as old as time like,

79
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 5: and it was so cold.

80
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 4: It was as if, in a show of solidarity, the

81
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: entire team was like, well, if you're slumping, I'll slept

82
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 4: with you too, when we could all swump together. But

83
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 4: you know, that was the stuff that was more concerning

84
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: the pitching. Some of the pitching has been concerning. I

85
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: think it's more those things to me than the actual

86
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 4: losing streak. That being said, as you said, it's a

87
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 4: long season. We are heading into the All Star Break,

88
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 4: which we will be talking more about throughout the show.

89
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 4: These next few months are gonna be the most important.

90
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 4: I think the Dodgers will be fine. I think the

91
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 4: Dodgers will win the Division the very high likelihood they're

92
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: back in the World Series. It's just this week. They're

93
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 4: just some areas of concern. But that being said, there

94
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 4: are other teams in the major leagues, not that I

95
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: focus a lot on.

96
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 5: Them, but there are teams of major leagues.

97
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: We're heading into the All Star break, just giving a

98
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: quick little rundown of where we are. Al Central, the

99
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 4: Tiger's leading Ale East, the Blue Jays are leading al West,

100
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 4: the Astros are leading, which was a bit of.

101
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: A surprise for people.

102
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 4: Obviously, the Dodgers lead in the West, Cubs Central, Phillies

103
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 4: in the East.

104
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 5: So as you look at this.

105
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 4: All Star break and the trade deadline coming just two

106
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 4: weeks after the All Star break, who are you looking

107
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 4: at as your sellers and your buyers?

108
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: Nikki?

109
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: Right, Well, I really focused on a couple of teams that,

110
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: you know, particularly had momentum, and I think and then

111
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: when it came to a certain player, I mean who

112
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: really stood out to me is what are the Diamondbacks

113
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: going to do.

114
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: With Uhennio Suarez?

115
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: And I think the perfect landing spot for him will

116
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: be in the Bronx. Oh it makes sense, right, I

117
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: think the Yankees could be making a move for Suarez.

118
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: It depends how much.

119
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: They're asked to shell out, Right, are you going to

120
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 2: give up, you know, like a young prospect in Cam

121
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: Schlitler and you know, jeopardize some of your future, which

122
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: a lot of Yankees fans.

123
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: Are love this this prospect.

124
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: At what point do you do that to bolster you know,

125
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: your your bats, and so I don't know, what do

126
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: you what do you think the Yankee should do?

127
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 5: I think so.

128
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 4: I think the Yankees' issues are not one right. They

129
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 4: could be one player away. But I think going back

130
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 4: to the World Series that we saw the Yankees issues

131
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 4: and I think have been issued throughout the season too. Fundamentally,

132
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 4: they're just not that strong. You know, they make mistakes

133
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 4: that they shouldn't make, and they had quite a losing streak,

134
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 4: and you know, New York fans are super calm, so

135
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 4: like it wasn't a big deal, but they had a

136
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 4: losing streak.

137
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: I was out in the bleachers, like for the Comedy

138
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: of Errors, it was in the Bronx.

139
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: It was.

140
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: It was very interesting to observe. I'm sure that it was.

141
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 4: But I think for the same token, the Yankees are

142
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: still a win now team with the talent that they have,

143
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 4: and I think they have to be buyers and I

144
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 4: think they have to they have to push their chips

145
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 4: in and even the fans may like the prospect, Yankee

146
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 4: fans also like winning now. So I would say there

147
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 4: I think they make the move. I think they kind

148
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: of have.

149
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: To and okay, okay, okay, and I especially with the

150
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: shakeout in the al right now, right, it's like if

151
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: they if they need to continue the momentum and you know,

152
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: patch up some things in the interim, then you you

153
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: make a move like that. I wouldn't be surprised. A

154
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 2: couple of other teams I was looking at in terms

155
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 2: of just their needs in terms of their starting pitching,

156
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays, the Cubs, So I'd be intrigued to

157
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: see if they bolster their rotation here before the end

158
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: of July.

159
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 4: I would be too, because some of the teams, because

160
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 4: as we've talked about multiple times just in the last

161
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 4: few minutes, it's a long season, and sometimes teams that

162
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 4: are surprise teams in the first half do kind of

163
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 4: go down in the second half because it is a

164
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: long season. And the reason they're surprise teams because it

165
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: didn't feel like necessarily the talent was there. But you're

166
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 4: talking about two teams that have talent who are right there,

167
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: right And if the Blue Jays want to stay on

168
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: top of the Yankees, and I think they can, they're

169
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: going to have to do some things in their rotation.

170
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 4: So I agree with you. I think it's it's going

171
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 4: to be interesting to see there. And you know, it's

172
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: like I look go ahead please.

173
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, I was I was saying, I was,

174
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: I was doing some reading. I forget.

175
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: I apologize to the reporter who suggested it, But Mitch

176
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: Keller out of the Pirates organization could be a great

177
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: addition to the Blue Jays rotation. So I don't know,

178
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: just like looking at matches and potential fits, it's like

179
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 2: speaking of another meme. It's like looking at the board

180
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: where you know, oh yeah, you know, we're speaking in

181
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: memes where the guys got all the numbers.

182
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, ming around right.

183
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: So it's it's fun to think of like the perfect

184
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: trade machine matches.

185
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: I like to imagine that that's what it's like in

186
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 4: front offices right before the trade deadline for any sport.

187
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 4: Just like all the the faces and the names, like

188
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 4: like a Facebook, like before Facebook, like actual face books

189
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 4: with all the pictures, like way back in.

190
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: The olden DA the pictures up and all of that.

191
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 4: But you brought up the Pirates, which I think are

192
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 4: interesting because the Pirates have argued not arguably like one

193
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 4: of the two best pictures in baseball right now. They're

194
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: not giving him up, but what if someone comes in

195
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 4: with some insane trade for skins.

196
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: They can't do it though, right I don't know, but

197
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 3: they need to do better by him. It's a dream.

198
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: It's a shame his win lost record. And I remember

199
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: we were talking about.

200
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: This even a couple of weeks ago, and it's like,

201
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: what we gotta we got to figure out his era

202
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: right now, because I know how rare it is for

203
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: a picture to have what sub two e.

204
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm asking my best friend chat SHEBT for the exact.

205
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,719
Speaker 3: Number, and this is great radio right now.

206
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 5: No, but I'm two point oh one.

207
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: Okay, So he's just over to right now. But it's

208
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 2: still he's excellent. And it's such a disservice it is

209
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 2: to the league, to sportsman like de Pittsburgh fans.

210
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

211
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 4: But so here's a question that is an interesting one

212
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 4: for debate, and I think there will be both sides

213
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: of it. Would doing right by him be sending him

214
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 4: somewhere where he will be surrounded by pieces that could

215
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: make him win a World Series.

216
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 3: Or being a better organization and bring it right.

217
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the other side, do you or is doing right?

218
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 4: I think it's probably the ladder, but I don't know

219
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 4: that the latter happens quickly enough to really do right

220
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 4: by him, But I could be wrong.

221
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: It's it's not a sport like basketball, where it is,

222
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: you know, so evident that you get that key piece,

223
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: not one key piece, and then you build forward with

224
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: that one player.

225
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 6: Right.

226
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 2: I think I feel like baseball is a little bit

227
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: different because it is one side of the game, right,

228
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: you know, and you like you said that transformation the

229
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 2: rebuild can't be you know, snap of a finger.

230
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 4: No, it can't be, but it would It definitely can't be.

231
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 4: It's interesting. It is one side of the game, but

232
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: it's such an important side that if he went to

233
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 4: he went somewhere that needed to bolster rotation and everything.

234
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 5: Else around him works. Then giving up what are they

235
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 5: giving up?

236
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 4: But then he I think he is one of those

237
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: players that makes difference because I as we talked about

238
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 4: the beginning of the show, the Dodgers scored seven runs

239
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 4: last night and lost. Yeah, you know, so I'm not

240
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: saying he's going there because there's no chance they would

241
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 4: let that happen.

242
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 5: But but you if.

243
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 4: You don't want to be in a position where your

244
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 4: team has to score more than seven runs to win

245
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 4: and tap it to the Dodgers a lot. So it

246
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 4: just means that, I think for a team that just

247
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 4: needs that that ace or that second ace, the person

248
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: that they Now, I.

249
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: Don't know what the package is. I want to know

250
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 3: what the pot It would.

251
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 5: Have to be so tremendous, right, like you might have

252
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 5: to like throw it at home.

253
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. Like, and plus I got a vacation property. I

254
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 3: got a vacation an island. I have an island. I'm

255
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 3: willing to throw in the mix.

256
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and you also well said, got you

257
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: a really cute dog, Like, I mean, There's so many

258
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 4: things that would have to be in that package.

259
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 5: But I don't know.

260
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 4: This is just something that I was thinking about and

261
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 4: I was curious about and wanted wanted your thoughts on

262
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 4: another team. I'd like your thoughts on the Detroit Tigers

263
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 4: have been so much fun and are killing it.

264
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: Is it sustainable? I think so? I think so.

265
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: I think the momentum that we've seen them, it's not

266
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: a fluke, right right. And I love that you keyed

267
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: into them being just fun because that is exactly so

268
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: fun brand of baseball they bring. I got a question

269
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: for you, are you a do you.

270
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 3: Sit and watch the All Star Game?

271
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 7: Like?

272
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: Is that appointment viewing for you?

273
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 8: Uh?

274
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 4: Usually it is, yes, I'm going to miss some of

275
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 4: it this week, so I'll be on my way back

276
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: from a conference okay in Las Vegas.

277
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: But usually it is.

278
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 4: I really I like watching the All Star Game, not

279
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 4: just to see the guys that I love. And I

280
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 4: don't want anyone to think that I voted like a

281
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 4: bunch of times for every Dodger. Obviously I would not, no,

282
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 4: nor I would not go on the five times allowed

283
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: to do that except the one outlier being Cody Vellinger.

284
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: Like that, how many how many emails do you have

285
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: registered for your fan vote?

286
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 4: You're you're allowed five is one person? So I just

287
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 4: I cap it at that.

288
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 5: Ike it at.

289
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 4: So Cody Vellinger and the Dodgers all all got my votes.

290
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 5: But I liked also watch players that I don't really

291
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 5: get to see.

292
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: That right, and it is All Star games always remind

293
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: me of like the Avengers.

294
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: Yes, it's totally what it is. And did you you

295
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 3: saw that they're going.

296
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: Back to the uniforms where players get to represent their

297
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: hometown team.

298
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 3: I love that. I love that. That's that's like proper

299
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: nostalgia returning. So I I have to say, I don't.

300
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: I don't normally like be like, oh my god, it's

301
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 3: MLB All Star.

302
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: I'm out to tune in. I did love it when

303
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: it was in LA. I thought that was really fun.

304
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 2: It is kind of like, you know, the biggest names

305
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: all coming together. It's it's a great celebration.

306
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: And I yeah, so maybe, I mean maybe considering time

307
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: of summer, why not.

308
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 5: Well, you're taking a breath.

309
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can take a breath and watch the game's

310
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 4: greatest players.

311
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 5: That's my that.

312
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 4: By the way, if anyone's listening, should be the tagline,

313
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,239
Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, take a breath while you watch baseball's

314
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 4: greatest players as they also looking at this Detroit uh

315
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 4: Tiger's broadcaster is a fan who's attended three hundred and

316
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 4: seventy one consecutive home games.

317
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 5: Oh wow, that is amazing.

318
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,000

00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,800

353
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,240

Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, glory all glory in the lifefest in

356
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,600

Speaker 3: You know I would I would jump into why not.

358

Speaker 2: kayak get that ball.

362
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: I mean that's iconic behavior.

00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 4: It is iconic behavior for an icon Yeah, so there

368
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 3: Most a harbor. That's a harborall moment.

369
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 5: Definitely a harbor moment.

370
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 4: A lot of other teams report Tuesday, for excuse me,

371
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: and a lot of other teams. Rookies report on Tuesday

372
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: with everybody else the folly week. So although we have

373
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 4: been in our NFL break, there's still been some news

374
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 4: and we're.

375
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 5: We're almost back.

376
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: So some news this week.

377
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 4: Reporting that the Bears will be extending general manager Ryan Poles,

378
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 4: which I find I have conflicting emotions on well, emotions.

379
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: Workshop this because I went back and forth. Okay, I'd

380
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 3: like to workshop this.

381
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 4: I think on the one hand, bad teams stay bad

382
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 4: by constantly making changes too soon. Now they have had

383
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 4: to make a lot of coaching changes. They went through

384
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 4: quite the search this offseason. I mean, the we knew

385
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 4: they were going to get but they end up with

386
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 4: Ben Johnson. They did a lot to improve the offensive

387
00:16:55,280 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 4: line for quarterback Caleb Williams, but the Bear have severely

388
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 4: underperformed and not been given the tools to perform well

389
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 4: so far under Poles.

390
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 5: So I'm I don't know.

391
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 4: I'm back and forth on this, like was it a

392
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 4: good move or not a good move?

393
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 3: Right?

394
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 2: And I get a little confused at the thought of

395
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: an extension right because right now there has been no

396
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 2: proof in the process, and you look at the Bears

397
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: record under Poles.

398
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 3: They've had two ten game losing streaks.

399
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: It's not great, right And at the same time, I

400
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: did end up on a Bear's Reddit thread, you know,

401
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 2: as one Bears fans reddit thread.

402
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: And someone was you know, adamantly defending.

403
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: The you know, like you said, you don't want to

404
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: make changes too soon and Poles being brought in at

405
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: the start of a four year plan in twenty twenty two.

406
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 3: This is now year four.

407
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: But he had to you know, navigate through a lot

408
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 2: of junk. Yes, yes, he did to kind of clear

409
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 2: the table reset and we know that doesn't happen overnight.

410
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: Yet at the same time, there has been no proof

411
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: his process is processing.

412
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 4: His process is processing. So that my thing was like

413
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 4: did they have to extend him? I think he had

414
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: two years left on the deal, so it was interesting

415
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: and I could be off a year, but it was

416
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 4: interesting to be that they felt the need to extend him,

417
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 4: but they did it.

418
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: Also, I wonder if it's a move, like a sign

419
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: to Ben Jonson, like this is stability, Yeah, this is comfort.

420
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 2: You know, it could be just an indicator being like

421
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: we are a stable franchise now. We have consistent leadership

422
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 2: or a plan for consistent leadership moving forward. Maybe that's

423
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: where this is coming from. Nonetheless, it is a little

424
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: bit of a head scratcher.

425
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 5: It is, so, I mean, we'll see what happens.

426
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 4: I actually feel that the Bears have a chance to

427
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 4: improve a season. Like I said, they did a lot

428
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 4: to improve their offensive line, which will be helpful for

429
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 4: poor k Leib Williams, who was basically running for his

430
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 4: life on every play last season.

431
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 5: But this one will be interesting.

432
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 4: It's just if the Bears have another very disappointing season,

433
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 4: what happens. But they're also going to a brand new

434
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 4: coach and so it's it's not going to be magic,

435
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 4: probably your one.

436
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: So we'll see.

437
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 5: We'll see.

438
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 4: Anyways, I thought I thought that was some interesting news,

439
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 4: and I like that we've workshopped it. I don't know

440
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 4: that we came to a conclusion. I think the conclusions

441
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 4: that we would not have done it.

442
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't own it.

443
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 2: I mean, like you said, seeing the results, But it's like,

444
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: why offer an extension when you haven't seen any results?

445
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 3: Right, it's there to extend. That's like, that's we are.

446
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 5: So not in the results oriented business.

447
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: That we'd like to extend that forward exactly exactly.

448
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 5: So Eli Manning.

449
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 4: Made me laugh this week where I mean not honestly,

450
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 4: but he he said no to an ownership stake in

451
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 4: the Giants. He said it was too expensive for him,

452
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 4: which I get two thousand percent. I mean I feel like,

453
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 4: you know, Hall of Fame quarterbacks, they're just like us.

454
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 4: So it's still kind of made me laugh because when

455
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 4: we talk about results, I thought like, if the Giants

456
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 4: had been really good the last few years, when we

457
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 4: felt literally I.

458
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 3: Also liked part of his reasoning.

459
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: He said I couldn't be able to talk to players

460
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 2: that he coached in the Pro Bowl and it would

461
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: affect my day job, said Manning, talking about the man cast.

462
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh that's it.

463
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 4: Well, I mean that's a very that's fair because the

464
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 4: Manning I think I speak for everyone when one could

465
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 4: say the man in cast is currently way more successful

466
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 4: than you were Giants, I don't want to be unkind,

467
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 4: she said it.

468
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 5: I did, Well, I don't.

469
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's like a fact. Yeah, I

470
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 4: do you even think it's an opinion? I think it's

471
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,239
Speaker 4: right now, it's a full fact. So I would not

472
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 4: want to give up the man cast either or not

473
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 4: be able to have certain players on because of my

474
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 4: ownership stake in that specific team.

475
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 5: That is my feeling.

476
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 2: If it's kind of a funny story, I don't even

477
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 2: know if he was seriously considering it on.

478
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 5: I mean, but this is a funny story.

479
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 3: Yes, it's great.

480
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: Then of course it's the headline because he's like, it's

481
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: a polite line.

482
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 5: It's a noe for me. You two super bowls. I'm

483
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 5: not giving you my money exact, which I think is fair.

484
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 4: Then we had another story this week, the kind of

485
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: stuff that comes up in the off season. We had

486
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 4: a fireworks incident with Nischie Harris the Chargers, who has

487
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 4: an eye injury.

488
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 5: Apparently he will be ready for the season.

489
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 3: This is my home. Fireworks are no joke? Can we

490
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: can we not do them anymore?

491
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 4: I mean it's shades of twenty fifteen and jump here, Paul.

492
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 3: Right and the fire I mean, really, guys.

493
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: Why and I think yes it was Fortunately Nag's not.

494
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 5: Jason here, Paul, thank you very much. What did I

495
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 5: say to Sean?

496
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 3: He will he will make the rule? It was twenty fifteen?

497
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: It was he.

498
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: Will make a recovery, which is great, but it's I

499
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 2: heard someone funny being like, you know his eyes were

500
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: closed because the firework was coming at him.

501
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't know, it's just it's just.

502
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 4: I just I think we need to not do the

503
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 4: at home fireworks, especially if you are an NFL player.

504
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 5: With this season looming just a couple weeks.

505
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 2: Away, we have to start putting that in contract clauses

506
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: now because I know, you know some athletes, like when

507
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 2: you go to play in college or something, you're not

508
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: allowed to go skiing or snowboarding or do you know,

509
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 2: extreme activities.

510
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 3: So now is there going to be a fireworks clause?

511
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 5: I think there has to be.

512
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: You will because you will not be in a ten

513
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: yard radius of any home fireworks.

514
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 4: Because of Jason Pierre Paul, Thank you to our amazing

515
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 4: for the theory in and Najee Harris. But right now

516
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 4: we are going to go to Manzi Bolagno's for our

517
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 4: sports break.

518
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 3: Tell us what's up?

519
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 5: All right, Gal's a.

520
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: Lot going on. We'll start in baseball? Why not?

521
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 10: The Twins are crushing the Pirates twelve to three bottom

522
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 10: of the seventh inning in Minnesota. The Mariners have a

523
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 10: seven to one lead over the Tigers in Detroit, bottom

524
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 10: of the fifth, Braves and Cardinals, it's been back and forth.

525
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 10: Braves back on top thanks to Sean Murphy's go ahead

526
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 10: three run shot in the eighth inning, so they're edging

527
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 10: the Cardinals six five, bottom of the eighth. In Saint Louis,

528
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 10: the Dodgers have scored first. You mentioned at Tracy that

529
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 10: Shoho Twani striking out the side to start the game,

530
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 10: and not too bad. Tommy Edmund did just ground out,

531
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 10: but it led to an RBI. So the Dodgers on

532
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 10: the scoreboard first against the Giants in San Francisco, one zero,

533
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 10: top of the second inning.

534
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 3: Let's stop that losing streak. I am with you, girl.

535
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 3: The Reds are on the scoreboard first.

536
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 10: Against the Rockies at home, one zero first inning, and

537
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 10: that one Nationals also scored first against the Burs one zero,

538
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 10: top of the second inning. The Cubs did defeat the

539
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 10: Yankees five to two, but still all rise for the

540
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 10: captain Aaron Judge with this thirty fifth home run of

541
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 10: the season three hundred and fifty career home runs, becoming

542
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 10: the fastest player to reach that number.

543
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 3: He did it in one thousand and eighty eight.

544
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 10: Games, beating Mark Maguire who did it in one thousand,

545
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 10: two hundred and eighty games, so almost two hundred game

546
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 10: difference there.

547
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge, the captain. Still Yankees can't win at Wimbledon.

548
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 10: He got sapiate dominated American Amanda Anissimova to win her

549
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 10: first Wimbledon title.

550
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: You guys, fifty seven minutes is all it took. Amanda

551
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 3: didn't even.

552
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 10: Win one game at Wimbledon, but she wasn't supposed to

553
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:05,719
Speaker 10: be there.

554
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 3: She was like a Cinderella story.

555
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 10: I guess Fiatek is amazing and she wins one, her

556
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 10: first one at Wimbledon.

557
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 3: WNBA, well give it.

558
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 10: Up for the Sky who beat the Minnesota Links, one

559
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 10: of the top teams in WNBA, eighty seven to eighty one.

560
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 10: Angel Reese recorded her eighth straight double double nineteen points

561
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 10: and eleven rebounds. Right now, the Valkyries have a twenty

562
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 10: seven to twenty five lead over the Aces, and there's

563
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 10: about eight minutes to go in the first half. Asia

564
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 10: Wilson thirteen points already in that one.

565
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 3: We do have Summer League.

566
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 10: I know it's just summer league, but you know, Cooper

567
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 10: Flag out there for the Mavericks against the San Antonio Spurs.

568
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 10: Spurs are up twenty three to fifteen. Halfway through the

569
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 10: second quarter. Cooper Flag, who struggled in his debut from

Speaker 2: I mean, they are one of the teams that are

634
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: getting like the best reviews in terms of the you know,

635
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 2: bringing in Chris Stops, kind of bolstering the roster around

636
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 2: Trey Young.

637
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 3: What did you make of the additions?

638
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, what a great question. It's all anyone can talk

639
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 11: about right now. It's the Hawks, which blows my mind

640
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 11: because ever since the Eastern Conference Finals run by the

641
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 11: Hawks in twenty twenty one, this team has seemingly been irrelevant,

642
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 11: and you know, I know it's consistently frustrating for Trey

643
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 11: just to make it to the plan and get get

644
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 11: bounced in the first round. He's been frustrated enough to

645
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 11: where the front office is finally listening. They need to

646
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 11: build a team around Trey. He's been the centerpiece in

647
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 11: Atlanta for a while now, and now he actually has

648
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 11: pieces around him. I honestly believe that the Hawks had

649
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 11: one of the best off seasons in the NBA so far.

650
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 11: I don't even think they're done yet. They still have

651
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 11: some room to play around with the moves that they've

652
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 11: made to support him. Finally he gets an All Star

653
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 11: and Christaps for Zingis, and you know, the Eastern Conference

654
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 11: is such a big question mark that why not the Hawks?

655
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 12: They look really good?

656
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: Honestly, I mean, wow, what a statement? Why not the Hawks?

657
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 8: Why not?

658
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 3: That should be?

659
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 5: That should be their tagline for the season. There should

660
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 5: be shirts. Why not the Hawks? I like?

661
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 4: I love it so getting back to the All Star Game,

662
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 4: I want to talk a little home run derby. I

663
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 4: went to LA few years ago. It's actually was way

664
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 4: more fun than I thought it would be, and I

665
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 4: want to will you be there? Is there anyone you're

666
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 4: really excited to see, because it was actually a really

667
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 4: fun thing to attend.

668
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, it is awesome. I was there in Texas last

669
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 11: year because we did have so many Braves being represented

670
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 11: and so it was a blast. I mean, the Home

671
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 11: Run Derby is one of the more exciting events when

672
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 11: it comes to All Star Weeks, no matter what league

673
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 11: you're talking about, right, there's always sitement around it to

674
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 11: where they've had to add standing room only tickets and

675
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 11: those are selling out. You know, people want to see

676
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 11: guys hit home runs, and we're going to keep our

677
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 11: fingers crossed. This happened to be a rainy time in

678
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 11: the year here in Atlanta. We don't need that to

679
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,479
Speaker 11: happen because we want the home run Derby to happen, right.

680
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 11: I was initially really excited to see Ron and Attuney Junior.

681
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 11: I'd be on my late scratch. He's dealing with some

682
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 11: backass back issued, but you know, he did look really

683
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 11: really good in the game today, so I think they're

684
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 11: just trying to be cautious with him. Honestly. So now

685
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 11: you know, because I'm in Atlanta, I'm going to have

686
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 11: to go with the Brave, not Olsen. He knows how

687
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 11: to go yard, he hasn't done it as consistently as

688
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 11: I think he probably would like. But I think it's

689
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 11: gonna be fun to watch them the whole run Derby.

690
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 4: Oh, I think I think it will be for sure

691
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 4: for some of our listeners who are going to be

692
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 4: attending at Truest Park for the first time, and he

693
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 4: highlights on the park they need to check out, like

694
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 4: what's the food, that's the food, that's our logo, and

695
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 4: what are the best concessions?

696
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 11: Great question, perhaps the most important question of all time.

697
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 11: Weeks of the food, right, especially because ballparks tend to

698
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 11: roll out new and exciting things around the All Star Week,

699
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 11: And lucky enough for me, I got to try all

700
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 11: of the new things that they brought to the ballpark. Guys,

701
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 11: they have this hot dog that has pretty pebbles on it.

702
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 3: It's like actually.

703
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 11: Safe, it's so good. And everything around the ballpark this

704
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 11: week it's going to be a nod to Southern cuisine

705
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 11: and it's all phenomenal.

706
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 12: There's all the.

707
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 11: Peach cobbler, you can eat, there's waffles. It's going to

708
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 11: be really cool. I'm so proud of Atlanta for doing that.

709
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 11: And Truth Park is so new and shiny, new in

710
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 11: terms of baseball lore right, and it's such a phenomenal park,

711
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 11: to the point where other baseball parks around the country

712
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 11: have now taken things from the Battery, which is what's

713
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 11: around Truth Park, the Battery Atlanta, and they've made it

714
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 11: their own. When I went to the Rangers Ballpark last

715
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,719
Speaker 11: year for the All Star Game, it is literally a

716
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 11: mini battery. It's really cool to see a lot of

717
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 11: people being influenced by this place because it's unbelievable. So

718
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 11: fans that were coming there for the first time, they're

719
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 11: going to be mind blogs. Even if you had someone

720
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 11: in your group who's maybe not that big of a

721
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 11: baseball fan, they just kind of want to go, or

722
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 11: they're being dragged by their family, whatever the case may be,

723
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 11: they're going to have a phenomenal time because Truth Part, honestly,

724
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 11: it's one of the most fun, new and shiny baseball

725
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 11: parts in all of Major League Baseball.

726
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: I honestly was just looking up Lax two Atlanta flights.

727
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 4: You said fruity pebbles on a dog and Nikki was like, Siri,

728
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 4: how do I get to it?

729
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 12: Lanta.

730
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 3: I just think it's.

731
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 2: So important that with these mega events right that we

732
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: celebrate the culture of the host cities. And I think

733
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: it sounds like truist Atlanta is putting on a show

734
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: and we love to see it. Now, Ria, one of

735
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 2: the last questions here. You were the first person I

736
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: woke up on Friday morning and texted about Justin Bieber's

737
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: new album. So I need your play by play, breakdown,

738
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 2: your thoughts, your analysis as a believer like myself, and

739
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 2: you freely believer on the air right now.

740
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 11: This is why I agreed to do this today because

741
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 11: I knew you guys have Justin Bieber fans, Like I'm

742
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 11: only supporting the people who are out their believers, you

743
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 11: know what I mean?

744
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 3: Forever?

745
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 11: No, truly, I actually had someone text me and say

746
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 11: they weren't a fan of the album. Should I delete

747
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 11: their number? This is this what's happening? You know? I

748
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 11: thought this album was really mature for Justin. It's like

749
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 11: a new chapter for him. I think it's awesome. It's

750
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 11: also kind of a way to address his haters. If

751
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 11: you will and requiet to hatly beaber rumors. I thought

752
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 11: it was awesome. There's so many cool mixes of sound.

753
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 11: Drewski is on there, who happens to be in the

754
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 11: celebrity softball game here in its weekend, which is really cool. Yeah,

755
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 11: So there's there's just so many cool pieces. There's different sounds.

756
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 11: You know, it sounds a little bit like Michael Jackson.

757
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 11: He's got so many different songs that just flow and

758
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 11: sound great. And it's not just one sound justin Bieber

759
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 11: you stot tracks where it was like only a pop album,

760
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 11: and now I feel like it's so many different things

761
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 11: and he's I don't know, turning into just this. He's

762
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 11: already a mega superstar, but it's phenomenal, Like this is

763
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,239
Speaker 11: such a first down for him, and I love it.

764
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 3: I'm so happy he's creating again.

765
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: And I think a lot of people, like you said,

766
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: had that immediate reaction of like, well, what is what.

767
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 3: Do we make of this album?

768
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 2: But I think if you think back on Taylor Swifts TTBD,

769
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: a lot of people kind of listened and weren't sure

770
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: how to process it, and then as you digest it,

771
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 2: listen to it more.

772
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 3: The vibes are flowing. So I'm currently fixated on Daisies.

773
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 3: I know you know that that's a radio hit already,

774
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 3: so good, it's so good.

775
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 11: Here's the bottom line.

776
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: For me.

777
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 11: I am such a big fan of people doing what

778
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 11: they love, yes, and being passionate about it. And so

779
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 11: for him creating music and being happy about his music

780
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 11: is just exactly what he wants to be, not everything

781
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 11: that comes with it, obviously, and so just just makes

782
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 11: me smile listening to it, because I'm like, here's a

783
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 11: guy who wants to be happy in hell, and you

784
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 11: can tell in his music it's finally coming back to fruition.

785
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. I agree.

786
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,520

799
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 4: One last thing before you leave, the one place in Atlanta,

800
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 4: people have to eat before they leave.

801
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, you're.

802
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 11: Going to put that on me. There are so many

803
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 11: places it's impossible. But obviously you're here in Atlanta, and

804
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 11: especially if you're visiting where waffle house is not a thing,

805
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 11: you have to go to waffle House. The original waffle

806
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 11: House is here in downtown and it is literally what

807
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 11: we do. I remember when the Braves maybe to the

808
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 11: World Series and in twenty twenty one they had waffle

809
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 11: House in the press box for the pros. It's just

810
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 11: so fantastic. So that's gonna be my number one thing

811
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 11: always with someone who lives in Atlanta. And is it

812
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 11: true Atlanta pass.

813
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 3: To never forget my first waffle house experience. So I

814
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 3: stand on that.

815
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,040

847
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 3: I guess the ocheckt your woman's Wimbledon champion, yess, but

848
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 3: her her snack.

849
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 2: Of choices pasta strawberries, pasta with strawberries.

850
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 5: Interested It's actually a Polish dish.

851
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 2: Okay, But she's gained a lot of attention for talking

852
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 2: about one of her favorite snacks, which is strawberry pasta,

853
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 2: and she adds in yogurt and honey.

854
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 5: I have questions, questions you may not know the answer to.

855
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 3: It makes sense.

856
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 5: I'll let you fin.

857
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 3: I don't know.

858
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 2: I get the carbs, the fruit, the yogurt, but like,

859
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 2: do we need pasta?

860
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 7: This is kind of a commonly Eastern European thing. For

861
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 7: me as an Italian, it still kind of drives me

862
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 7: a little insane hearing it. But I mean, I guess it's.

863
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 5: Common with the fruit and the yogurt and the honey.

864
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 7: Yes, yeah, I know, like that's East. I feel like

865
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 7: East Europe has a completely different view of how we

866
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 7: view something like a sweet or a fruit flavor.

867
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 5: Okay, that's right, interesting, just okay, it.

868
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 7: Kind of works like that. It's a lot of that

869
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 7: kind of like starchy plus sweet.

870
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 2: We love that because honestly, I was getting a little

871
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 2: annoyed that people kept finding it to be a ludicrous knack.

872
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 4: Well, and now that we're talking about it, I'm kind

873
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 4: of curious.

874
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 3: Don't not until you try it.

875
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 4: I might don't make some pasta with yogurt, honey and

876
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 4: strawberries this week and report back to you guys.

877
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 2: It reminds me of Elf for some reason, you know,

878
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 2: when he has the pasta and adds maple syrup.

879
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 4: Yes, but oh, I've only seen Elf once and I

880
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 4: only recently, just this year.

881
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,720
Speaker 5: I know it's it's a okay.

882
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 4: It's a not fun fact about me, but it's yeah,

883
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 4: but I do kind of remember. I know Ian is

884
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 4: shaking his head. He's like, basically, you guys, they're gonna

885
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 4: maybe leave me.

886
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, it kind of reminds you. What are

887
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 7: those Polish pancakes. There's like very thin ones.

888
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 2: I forget they're not like a crape but kind of

889
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 2: like yeah.

890
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 7: I kind of like that, but they're very unsweetened too,

891
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 7: but you're supposed to fill them out kind of like

892
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 7: you would a crape.

893
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I guess there are savory crapes, so they

894
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 2: mixed the sweet and yeah, very.

895
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 5: Yes, Okay, I'm curious.

Speaker 2: the thing, he's only pitched five games.

947
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 5: Yes, like these numbers.

948
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 3: Over five games, I mean.

949
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 4: And players like Christopher Chancez and Rena over the Phillies

950
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 4: were not happy.

951
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 5: So do stick up for your teammates.

952
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 4: So I get it. And five games just does not

953
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 4: see you, right, it just does not. Well, he's got

954
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 4: a lot of time ahead of him, he sure does,

955
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 4: and will probably be more All Star games. Let me

956
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 4: tell you who did not have a lot of time

957
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 4: ahead of us in this segment. And but that being said,

958
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 4: we'll be back hour two.

959
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,760
Speaker 5: This is Fox Sports Saturday.

960
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

961
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 4: Hello, and welcome back to Fox Sports Saturday. I am

962
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 4: Tracy Sandler alongside the fantabulous.

963
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 2: Okay, oh girl, it's my honor, my honor to be

964
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 2: in the studio with you right now.

965
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 4: The honor is all mine. We could do this for

966
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 4: the next back and forth back and for implement ping pong.

967
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 3: Let's go, let's go.

968
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 4: But instead of doing that, though I'm not opposing that,

969
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 4: let's look a little NBA great summerly going on right

970
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 4: now Vegas. We will get to that. But a big

971
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 4: week of contracts. Jalen Williams of Thunder agreed to the

972
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 4: Rookie Max extension, and per our wonderful producer Ian who

973
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 4: I have mentioned earlier, this contract ties it, I'm going

974
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 4: to quote you exactly, ties in with the extensions for Chet,

975
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 4: Holgrim and SGA. So they have locked down their core

976
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 4: for the foreseeable future.

977
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 5: Nikki, what say you?

978
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: I think I mean, when you look at the state

979
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 2: of a franchise building forward, it doesn't get any better

980
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 2: to have three young stars all in lockstep and then

981
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: the armada.

982
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 3: Of draft picks you have at your disposal. Right, So

983
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 3: let's say, you know.

984
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 2: These are expensive contracts for three, but Sam prest he

985
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 2: could theoretically just draft young talent, pay him on that,

986
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: you know, the rookie the rookie deals, and then just

987
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 2: keep turning it over. I mean that that's the mold

988
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 2: for I mean, obviously you will have to play pay players,

989
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 2: and it will with the new the new CBA and

990
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 2: the way the Aprons are kind of you know, tightening,

991
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 2: tightening owners pockets or wallets. I should say, uh, there

992
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 2: will be there will be friction.

993
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 3: But like this is just as good as it gets.

994
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so we talked to think about Ria

995
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 4: talking about the Hawks. Yeah why not the Hawks? Well

996
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 4: the thunder obviously proved why not the thunder? But think

997
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 4: they're going to continue to do that?

998
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 11: Right?

999
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 2: Well, now the path or a long runway of success

1000
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 2: is just rolled out for them.

1001
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 5: I like that. I'm right now picturing like a path.

1002
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 5: It's very long.

1003
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 2: I'm picturing you know when they like roll out the

1004
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 2: red carpet, like and it's like rolling rolling.

1005
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 4: Really that's yes, But I think it would be orange

1006
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 4: and blue. Oh yeah, just like naturally, Yeah, naturally. Devin

1007
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 4: Booker gets a highest annual extension salary in NBA history

1008
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 4: two years, one hundred and forty five billion dollars. I

1009
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 4: believe are the correct numbers because I chose for reasons

1010
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,479
Speaker 4: I can't explain to try to commit them to memory

1011
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 4: as opposed to writing them down. But I believe that

1012
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 4: those are correct numbers. What do you think of that contract?

1013
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 2: It's interesting because the Sons are trying to remedy a lot.

1014
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 2: You know, we were talking about the like the concept

1015
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 2: of a franchise writing itself right, and the Bradley Beal

1016
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 2: thing was a bad divorce for the Suns, And I

1017
00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 2: think they're trying to say, like, hey, this is our few. Sure,

1018
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 2: this is our star. Make Booker a lifer. But he's

1019
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 2: twenty nine years old now, and he is not a definitive.

1020
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 2: I mean, he's excellent, but I don't think you look

1021
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 2: at his numbers and you think that the money he

1022
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 2: will be making in twenty eight, twenty nine, and twenty

1023
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 2: nine thirty is going to I just don't see him

1024
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 2: ascending to the likes of a megastar in this league, right,

1025
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 2: and that that money is going to make him one

1026
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 2: of the highest plaid paid players in the NBA during

1027
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 2: those years. So I just think, if he's not, you know,

1028
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: one of the top two players in his position right now,

1029
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 2: what's to make us think that he will be there?

1030
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 2: So this extension is it's it's a dangerous it's a

1031
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 2: dangerous kind of line you walk, right because you want

1032
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: to invest, you want to show continuity. And obviously I

1033
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 2: will never knock a player's contract. Every guy stands to

1034
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 2: make the right dart, but it is in terms of

1035
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 2: where he'll be in the future, it's kind of it's.

1036
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 4: Risky, it is, and I feel like Devin Booker has

1037
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 4: now been around long and I've had had a very

1038
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 4: good career so far. But if he was going to

1039
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 4: be one of these top players in the league, he

1040
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 4: would have done it right by now.

1041
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 3: I believe, yes. And he's excellent.

1042
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 5: He is, He's excellent.

1043
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 4: He's just not It's okay, not everyone gets to that

1044
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 4: next level.

1045
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 2: I don't even know if I would count him as

1046
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 2: a top fifteen player right now, right. So, yeah, it's

1047
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 2: the sense have got a lot of things they are

1048
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 2: trying to iron out but so interesting. I mean, Kevin

1049
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 2: Durant on the move, DeAndre ay and on the move,

1050
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 2: Bradly beale Gone spending more money on Devin Booker. So

1051
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 2: it's just it's going to be uh, you know, I

1052
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 2: get that they're reshuffling the cards that they have or

1053
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 2: will will have, and I'm intrigued to see who they

1054
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 2: bring in to support him.

1055
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'll definitely be interesting to see. Let's take a

1056
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 4: look at some of the stars of the future. Oh yes,

1057
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 4: NBA Summer League going on right now. We're going to

1058
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 4: talk about that even more a little later with our

1059
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 4: guest in this hour. But Cooper Flag made his debut.

1060
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 4: He's playing again today. We made his debut on Thursday

1061
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 4: night against the Lakers versus Brownie James, and we could

1062
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 4: get into that in a minute.

1063
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 5: Struggled a little bit.

1064
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 4: He was five of twenty one from the floor, oh

1065
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 4: five from three point range. But when it counted in

1066
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 4: the last minute and ten seconds, he made a tremendous

1067
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 4: defensive play and Blae found his teammate wide opened for

1068
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 4: a three pointer that gave the Mavericks the lead. So

1069
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 4: I think before our very eyes in one game, you

1070
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 4: saw some maturity he's like I said, they're playing the

1071
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:55,760
Speaker 4: San Antonio Spurs today. The numbers are a little bit better,

1072
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,280
Speaker 4: a little bit, but it's been you know, he's eighteen

1073
00:46:59,320 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 4: years old.

1074
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 3: Did you hear that?

1075
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 2: I heard that court side tickets at Thomas and Mack

1076
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 2: for this Brownie James Cooper flag showdown where courtside seats

1077
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 2: for going for.

1078
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 3: Twenty five hundred dollars.

1079
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 2: I mean, Summer Summer League is a place and I've

1080
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 2: been a couple of times. It's a it's I mean,

1081
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 2: if you're working in the industry, it's a hob nob

1082
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 2: and it's a time to connect and like like I'll

1083
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 2: be out at dinner and it's like like the combine

1084
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 2: for there's TIBs, yeah, and there's a there's JJ Reddick

1085
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 2: and we're all you know, you're you're networking. But it's

1086
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 2: also a place for fans to go see the stars

1087
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 2: of the future at an affordable, like casual environment pace

1088
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 2: rate of the above.

1089
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 3: So this this game, you know, drew a lot of hype.

1090
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 2: I uh am the sideline reporter for the South Bay

1091
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 2: Lakers here in LA so I have observed Brownie James

1092
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 2: very up like up close for his first year as

1093
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 2: a professional, and the composure he has carried himself with,

1094
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 2: and I mean, I get it, he's he's the son

1095
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 2: of the biggest star on the planet. But he has

1096
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 2: he has with you know, the way he has moved

1097
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 2: through the spotlight has been very admirable. And he's learned

1098
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 2: how to have fun with this game despite all eyes

1099
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 2: being on him. So just as much as we were

1100
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 2: watching Cooper Flag in this showdown, I was looking at

1101
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 2: Brownie James and I.

1102
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 3: See a rotation player.

1103
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 2: I see, you know, despite all the doubt and criticism

1104
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 2: about his early shooting numbers, like he is, he is

1105
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 2: going to have a career in the NBA. So that

1106
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 2: was really exciting. And and and speaking about Cooper Flag,

1107
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 2: that man's a showman. He is showman, showman. And even

1108
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 2: though the efficiency wasn't there shooting, which I mean, come on,

1109
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 2: he's a.

1110
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 3: Rookie, like he's a rookie, Yeah he is.

1111
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 2: Uh, he's making the right plays and I think I think, uh,

1112
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 2: he's going to be every bit of the star that

1113
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 2: he's been built to be.

1114
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 4: I think you're right. I'm excited to watch him play.

1115
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 4: I've made this comment a couple of times that Mavericks

1116
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 4: fans won't like. But I'm really excited in like five

1117
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 4: years to be a Laker.

1118
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:06,240
Speaker 5: It's gonna be amazing.

1119
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 3: I can't wait.

1120
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, it's like Laker fan exceptionalism goes so

1121
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 2: hard that it's like but that's why.

1122
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 3: I mean, just flashback to the Luka Doncic trade.

1123
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 2: It was so stunning, like I will always find a

1124
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 2: way to bring Luca up on the show, you guys always.

1125
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 2: It was so out of pocket that even Laker fans

1126
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:35,760
Speaker 2: had never photoshopped a jersey like Luca in a Laker jersey.

1127
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 2: There were no edits of that, I mean, and Laker

1128
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 2: fans are audacious, like you said, where are the where

1129
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,760
Speaker 2: are the pictures of Cooper in a Lakers jersey?

1130
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 3: Already? You know they'll be trickling now soon.

1131
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you guys make one, please send one our way.

1132
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 4: I want to go back to talking a little bit

1133
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 4: about Bronnie because one of the things you said I

1134
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 4: think is is well, everything you said was very interesting,

1135
00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 4: but one of the things that stood out was son

1136
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 4: of like the most famous basketball player in art in

1137
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 4: this generation obviously, and how he carries himself because it

1138
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 4: could be a very different way, and you know, in

1139
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 4: some ways he it's and I don't think there'd be

1140
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 4: a lot of arguing this. It's it's hard to be

1141
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 4: Lebron's son because he will be a rotational player. He

1142
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 4: will have a career. He won't be Lebron, right and that,

1143
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 4: and he'll there'll be this constant comparisons to Lebron, which

1144
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 4: really aren't fair because they are different people and Lebron's

1145
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 4: like a generational basketball player. But I've been very impressed

1146
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 4: with him just from the outside and the way that

1147
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 4: he has carried himself. And I think he is going

1148
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,919
Speaker 4: to surprise people and he will have a career. Because

1149
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 4: there was a lot of, you know, criticism which I

1150
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 4: really didn't think was fair. I think you know what

1151
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 4: it is, what it is, and he's his son, Like,

1152
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 4: what an incredible thing to see. We're never going to

1153
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 4: see a father son play together on a basketball team

1154
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 4: ever again.

1155
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 2: Right right, And it's it's I think it's lost in

1156
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 2: the the hullabaloo that get a nice word. I like that, Yeah,

1157
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 2: oh thank you that you know, being Lebron James. And

1158
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 2: he's also a kid. He also had a very traumatic

1159
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 2: health scare with his heart where he is grateful to

1160
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 2: walk and talk and breathe, and like it's important to

1161
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 2: remember that it's okay to have fun with this game too.

1162
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 3: It's a game.

1163
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 2: So seeing him continue to put in the work. He

1164
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 2: is a very hard worker. All of his teammates in

1165
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 2: the G League were like, Bronnie's a regular guy. He

1166
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 2: works hard and we love being his teammate, Like it's

1167
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 2: not a distraction. So I'm excited, excited to see what he.

1168
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 3: Puts together in his in year two.

1169
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 4: We talked about this last week. I would love your

1170
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 4: thoughts on this. Do you think there's any chance Lebron

1171
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 4: gets traded?

1172
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 5: I say no, But.

1173
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 2: There's like a weird kind of air about how is

1174
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 2: this Lebron Lakers relationship going to shake out?

1175
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 3: It's been a little eerily quiet on Lebron's side.

1176
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 2: It's been reading between the tea leaves of you know,

1177
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 2: him reposting. I think someone wearing a Lebron Calves jersey.

1178
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,360
Speaker 2: Like there's just lots of little things where.

1179
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 3: You you think he knows what he's doing.

1180
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 2: And I'm really intrigued to talk to our guest about

1181
00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 2: what he's hearing, what the scuttle butt is.

1182
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 3: But the rumor mail never steps.

1183
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 2: My dad, a lifelong Lakers man, and he says, you

1184
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 2: know what, I'd rather be talked about than irrelevant.

1185
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 3: So oh, I like right, right, So the conversation around

1186
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 3: the Lakers will never subside.

1187
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 5: No, it will not. It's part of being the Lakers.

1188
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 4: It's part of being a team in LA and it's

1189
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 4: very much a Lakers Dodgers town, right, And so those

1190
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,919
Speaker 4: are things that are always going to be on the mines.

1191
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 5: I wanted your opinion on that. I'm but I know,

1192
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 5: I know it gets that.

1193
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 2: It's the free agency movement, the off season. It's something

1194
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 2: feels like, you know, it feels like when the air

1195
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 2: is really thick with tension. Yes, I feel like we're

1196
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 2: going to see a couple more big dominoes to.

1197
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 5: Fall, because then what happens to Briant?

1198
00:52:58,160 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 3: Right?

1199
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,399
Speaker 4: So right, there's a lot, there's a lot there, right,

1200
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 4: a lot to dissect. Well, we will not be making

1201
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 4: those decisions, but I'm glad about that.

1202
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 3: So that's a tough one of us drama.

1203
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 4: But we do like drama because there's then it gives

1204
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 4: us so much to talk about and we have so

1205
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 4: much more to talk about, So stick with us.

Speaker 4: As Nicki said, and Nikki mentioned at the very top

1218
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 4: of the show that this is a time of year

1219
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 4: when we can take a breath and focus on sports

1220
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,680
Speaker 4: that are somewhat the essence of summer.

1221
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 3: Really wanted to find a way to talk about the

1222
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 3: Tour de France. Please feel free discuss it well. I

1223
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 3: just want to say it.

1224
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 2: For me, it's a nostalgia thing. My dad's a huge cyclist.

1225
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 2: I would grow up waking up coming downstairs. It starts

1226
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 2: early and you just have you know, and it was

1227
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 2: back in the era of Lance Armstrong, and I know,

1228
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of controversy around his legacy.

1229
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 2: But it was so fun to have a team to

1230
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:28,800
Speaker 2: root for, it to have an you know, a larger

1231
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 2: than life sports icon at the time, and it was like,

1232
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:32,720
Speaker 2: what's Lance gonna do today?

1233
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 3: What's the drama in the peloton. So now I.

1234
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 2: Find myself I'm not as invested in, you know, the

1235
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 2: ins and outs of certain cyclists. That's why I didn't

1236
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 2: I didn't profer any storylines about it. But it is

1237
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 2: thinking about this time of year and the sports on

1238
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 2: I waking up. I now just turn on the broadcast

1239
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:56,839
Speaker 2: because Phil Liggett one of one of my favorite announcers,

1240
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,320
Speaker 2: i'd say, in all of sports. Yeah, he's a British,

1241
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 2: British and bouncer and his voice is.

1242
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 3: So soothing, the the.

1243
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 2: Just you know when you talk about sports like golf, tennis, Wimbledon, right,

1244
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 2: it's it's it's a special time of year.

1245
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 3: I love it.

1246
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,400
Speaker 5: Maybe he was the one talking when Hugh Grant fell asleep.

1247
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 2: Probably just a nice little little no I know, watching

1248
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 2: watching Wimbledon broadcasts.

1249
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 3: Also, it's so pleasant.

1250
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 2: Not people people, and you know the grandstands are getting

1251
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 2: strawberries and cream, not not pasta, not pastage, strawberry pasta.

1252
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 2: But anyways, no, I I uh, it's it's.

1253
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 4: A fun time of year, Shark Week coming up, and

1254
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 4: we've got Shark Week coming up. I love shark I'm

1255
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 4: gonna say something that is probably again gonna get me

1256
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 4: kicked right out of the studio.

1257
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 5: I've never watched Shark Week, I know.

1258
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 4: Between that and ELF, I feel like, wow, it's kind

1259
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 4: of looking at me like I thought I thought you

1260
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,240
Speaker 4: were cool, but apparently I'm not anymore.

1261
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 3: It's fine, it's fine, all right, he wasn't listening to us.

1262
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 4: Who wasn't listening to No, I'm not, but I'm gonna

1263
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 4: put that on my agenda, right, I'm going to watch sharks.

1264
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,839
Speaker 2: Just large, like like ten minutes of programming.

1265
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 3: Okay, sharks are fascinating.

1266
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 5: But does it not make you more scared of sharks.

1267
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 3: No, here's the thing.

1268
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 2: I've come to the realization, like bad PR Team Sharks,

1269
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:20,240
Speaker 2: great PR team Polar bears. Polar bears are incredibly vicious,

1270
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,959
Speaker 2: like hunters in the wild, even the ones that drink

1271
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 2: the coke.

1272
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:25,879
Speaker 3: And yet, yes, and yet they have been marketed as the.

1273
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 2: Cutest little you know, like fun guys and snow and

1274
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 2: just so cute sea white polar bears. They are behemoths

1275
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 2: of predators. And meanwhile sharks, sharks get a bad rap.

1276
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 2: So whoever's doing the PR for sharks, let's work shot.

1277
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:44,959
Speaker 7: It always really depends on what movie you get, because

1278
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 7: we got like Free Willie in Sudden, the orcas are fine,

1279
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 7: but like sharks get Jaws, sharks just want you to

1280
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 7: leave them alone.

1281
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure polar bears, like you were saying, I

1282
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 6: think they're actually like the one animal that naturally views

1283
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 6: human as prey. Yes, that's fine facts, so yeah, more scared.

1284
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,840
Speaker 4: Of I think of them in scarves drinking a Coca

1285
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 4: Cola Christmas exactly.

1286
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 3: Antarctica as much as you, well, you know who else.

1287
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 4: Actually, as long as we're on animals with good PR teams,

1288
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 4: kangaroos are pretty mean.

1289
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 5: They will just yambowel something.

1290
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they including like they're if they're their little babies.

1291
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 5: Their pouches are bothering them. But it's not great.

1292
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 2: Kangaroo's good PR, polar bear's great PR team. Sharks, we

1293
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 2: gotta work, you know what. Finding Nemo came the closest

1294
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 2: to uh, you know, humanizing sharks. Bruce, Bruce the shark says,

1295
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 2: fish off friends, not food.

1296
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well I will tell you all another fun fact.

1297
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 4: When I was a kid, I saw Jaws. Although my

1298
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 4: parents told me not to watch it turns out they

1299
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 4: were right, and I for an entire summer I wouldn't

1300
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 4: even go in the pool because I was like, you

1301
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 4: just can't be you can't be too safe.

1302
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 5: There's water you just never know.

1303
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 2: I okay, I looking up. One Shark Week officially starts. Okay,

1304
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 2: it's been a moving target.

Speaker 3: Oh, July twentieth, so we are we are eyeing. Wow,

00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 7: Know what's a whale shark gonna do to you?

1317
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 2: No, those are actually whale sharks are not actually sharks.

Speaker 5: Oh God, I'm scared, like I'm our.

1332
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 4: I already have anxiety about this on behalf of Nikki

Speaker 4: and she hasn't planned it, she doesn't have like a

1334
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 4: day and I'm already concerned about it.

1335
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 3: The name of Yorka Expedition.

1336
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 2: We've been in contact, so it's coming in, It's coming

1337
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 2: in the next twelve months.

1338
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 3: Wow yeah yeah. But anyways, we did get.

1339
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 5: A little bit off topic, but it was great.

1340
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:42,160
Speaker 4: And now I'm totally all in on Shark Weeks and

1341
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 4: find out who get We'll find a better pr team

1342
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 4: for the Sharks, right, because whoever's doing the polar Bear

1343
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 4: is killing it.

1344
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 2: Did you watch the Woman's Final and Wimbledon this morning?

1345
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 4: I watched some of it. It was very fast, Yes,

1346
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,959
Speaker 4: very very fast. It was very it was quick work.

1347
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 4: But we have a champion ias via Tech.

1348
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've been rehearsing IGAs via tech.

1349
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 5: I get my hands up in there.

1350
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 3: You've been rehearsing her name in commercial breaks. And yet when.

1351
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 4: Monzi, pressure is the key to knowing that the pressure

1352
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 4: and the pressure comes on. And I was like, but yes,

1353
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 4: undefeated in every major final she's ever played in, which

1354
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 4: I do think is very impressive. Six and Ozho first

1355
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 4: Polish Wimbledon champion, which is why we probably are just

1356
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 4: hearing about the PASTA. Yeah, I'm just saying but it

1357
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 4: was a very impressive, dominating performance and it was it

1358
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 4: was over kind of in the blink of an eye, right.

1359
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 2: And then on the other side you had Amanda on

1360
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 2: on Nissimova on Nisimova uh an American and I just

1361
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 2: think her journey to this moment in her career has

1362
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 2: been remarkable. You know, she walked away from the game

1363
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 2: with mental health struggles, and I think the more conversation

1364
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 2: we have around this and normalizing what athletes go through

1365
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 2: when you specialize and you train and you sacrifice everything

1366
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 2: to get to get to these moments, but also the

1367
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 2: darker side of it where and so to have her

1368
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 2: arc de triumph kind of. I mean, yes, she didn't

1369
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 2: get the outcome she wanted today, but to be back

1370
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 2: there in the finals is it's incredible.

1371
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree with that, and really only kind

1372
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 4: of the beginning.

1373
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 5: I think. I think she will continue to have the trajectory.

1374
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 4: And you bring up the mental health, and I think

1375
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 4: it's really important for athletes and for all of us

1376
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 4: that mental health is healthy and you have to take

1377
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 4: care of yourself.

1378
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 5: And we would never ever sugrin.

1379
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 4: I don't think someone though, for taking care of their

1380
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 4: physical health as something was wrong, and so mental health

1381
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 4: should be exactly the same.

1382
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 2: And the men's final that is tomorrow. Sink Karaz is

1383
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 2: what I've heard. We're calling the center vers al Choraz

1384
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 2: oh I.

1385
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 4: Like Caraz Yanick center versus Carlos alcaraz I like Sinn

1386
01:01:58,080 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 4: Karaz yep, I really get what.

1387
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 5: Do you what are you excited about for that?

1388
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 2: I'm just excited that these are two young you know,

1389
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 2: the two young names in the sport that have faced

1390
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 2: off time and time again at this point that we

1391
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:15,040
Speaker 2: could be very well looking at the next you know,

1392
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 2: Federer and.

1393
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:20,920
Speaker 5: Nadal rivalry thing of the torch I think.

1394
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 2: I mean, considering Alcaaz has has done it and this

1395
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 2: could be his third straight, I kind of I want

1396
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 2: to see center.

1397
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 4: Your goal for the underdog who's not necessarily but it's

1398
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 4: number one in the world. He's number one in the world,

1399
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 4: so as far as underdogs go, he's in a really

1400
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:36,120
Speaker 4: good position.

1401
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 5: But you're going I like it. You went for the

1402
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 5: guy who hasn't done.

1403
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 3: It yet, right, right, what are you expecting?

1404
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 2: I mean, We've got a twenty three year old from

Speaker 3: We'll start in baseball here, gals.

1436
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:52,439
Speaker 10: Mariners have been up on the Tigers a whole game,

1437
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 10: but Detroit is not.

1438
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 3: Giving up yet. They are trying to close in.

1439
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,800
Speaker 10: Still down four runs, eleven to seven is the score

1440
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 10: in Detroit. Bottom of the eighth inning, the Dodgers have

1441
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 10: added another run thanks to Hassan Kim with an RBI.

1442
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 3: There to zero is the score.

1443
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 10: Top of the seventh inning, Rockies are edging the Reds

1444
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 10: to one top of.

1445
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 3: The sixth inning.

1446
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 10: Red Sox on the scoreboard first against the Raise one

1447
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 10: zero top of the sixth in Boston, while Guardians have

1448
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 10: added another run, so they're shutting out the White Sox

1449
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 10: to zero.

1450
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:20,040
Speaker 3: Top of the fourth inning.

1451
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 10: Juan Soto with a two run shot pits the Mets

1452
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 10: on the scoreboard first. They are blanking the Royals to

1453
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 10: zero bottom of the fifth inning, and the Brewers have

1454
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 10: taken the lead at home from the Nationals three to

1455
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 10: top of the sixth the Twins Cruz passed the Pirates already,

1456
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 10: and it was a big day for Byron Buxton.

1457
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 7: Here's the pitch swung on, hit high in the air,

1458
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 7: soil the field, and Duke CRU's going back.

1459
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 3: Does it have the.

1460
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 12: Districe ere dune.

1461
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 3: A magical moment at target Field.

1462
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 5: The first cycle in target Field history belongs to Byron Boxfield.

1463
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 3: First cycle for him. What a treat.

1464
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 10: He was perfect at the plate five of five final

1465
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 10: score against the Pirates twelve four. The Braves edged the

1466
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 10: Cardinals seven to six. The Yankees lost to the Cubs

1467
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 10: five to two. But Aaron Judge another historic game for him.

1468
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 10: Not only thirty five home runs on the season, but

1469
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 10: also three hundred and fifty career home runs, becoming the

1470
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 10: fastest player to reach three point fifty. At Summer League,

1471
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 10: we've got the number one pick, Cooper Flag taking on

1472
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 10: the number two pick Dylan Harper. Well, not just them too,

1473
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 10: but thir teams, the Mavericks and the Spurs. San Antonio

1474
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 10: is up fifty nine to forty nine, ten minutes to

1475
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,919
Speaker 10: go in the fourth quarter. Cooper Flag twenty two points,

1476
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 10: shooting the ball better from his debut against the Lakers

1477
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 10: a couple of nights ago. He's seven of sixteen, twenty

1478
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 10: two points, two rebounds. When it comes to Dylan Harper,

1479
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 10: the number two pick, he's five to ten. He's got

1480
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 10: thirteen points and six rebounds. It's summer League, I know.

1481
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 10: In the WNBA, the Aces have a sixty five to

1482
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 10: sixty one lead with about two minutes to go in

1483
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 10: the third quarter. Asia Wilson with a double double twenty

1484
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 10: seven points and eleven rebounds.

1485
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:57,560

Speaker 4: us from summer league to tell us about all of

1496
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 4: the things.

1497
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 5: Mark, welcome to the show.

1498
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 12: Thanks for having me. Minutes before you call, man, I

1499
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 12: saw Cooper flag bird down and dump, so that's been fun.

1500
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 5: Oh I met that hazard.

1501
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 4: But what if your impression, you've been there, your you're

1502
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 4: live watching, what have your impressions been of Cooper Flag

1503
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 4: thus far?

1504
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 12: Well, you can't ignore the fact that he struggled heading

1505
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 12: a shot, but it's improved today compared to the safe view.

1506
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 12: But that aside, he's shown the complete package, great rebounder,

1507
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 12: great defender, right in the open floor. If they're having

1508
01:06:56,280 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 12: him be a playmaker, almost a point forward. I think

1509
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 12: that even when you add the caveats that this summer league,

1510
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 12: he's shown very early glimpses of why he is the

1511
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 12: real deal and why the Maverick should be a static

1512
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 12: that they luckily landed with the number one tick. Mark.

1513
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 2: I know, being at Summer League is such a great

1514
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 2: time to kind of network and just be boots on

1515
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 2: the ground, yours to you know what you think, you

1516
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 2: know whispers of moves might be.

1517
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 3: So I guess, first and foremost, what's the scuttle butt?

1518
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 2: Fill us in, give us the four, one, one, and

1519
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 2: second alf I'll save my second question for a follow up.

1520
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 12: Okay, Well, the shuttle butt so far is all the

1521
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 12: intrigue on Cooper Flag. That's all been positive because, unlike

1522
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,920
Speaker 12: past number one picks, he's not going to have the

1523
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 12: pressure to be franchise savior because he is Tyree Irving

1524
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 12: on his team and Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson. But

1525
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 12: the thing that is very encouraging for people watching him

1526
01:07:55,760 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 12: is that he's very adaptable. He can be the number one,

1527
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 12: number two, number three option, and it's likely that's going

1528
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 12: to happen because Kyrie Irving might not be back until

1529
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 12: the middle of the next season because of the atl injury.

1530
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 12: The other source of scuttle butt is what's the deal

1531
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 12: with lebron James and what does this all mean? I

1532
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 12: think it was notable that he was not at Vronnie

1533
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:18,680
Speaker 12: James's game in Summer League on Friday when he's you know,

1534
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 12: obviously always been his number one fan, always promoting him.

1535
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 12: And where this all ends up, I think is almost

1536
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:29,520
Speaker 12: a lot of angst over nothing. There's a strong expectation

1537
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,680
Speaker 12: is that through everything, Lebron's not going to want to

1538
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 12: get traded. Exist fifty six million dollars awaits him and

1539
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,599
Speaker 12: the Lakers aren't going to trade him because they can't

1540
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 12: find the right trade partner to make that work. So

1541
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 12: I think the scuttle butt is it's weird, you don't

1542
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 12: know what it means, but there's always a calculation with

1543
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 12: what Lebron does, and this is just his last time

1544
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 12: where he can feel like he puts some pressure on

1545
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,600
Speaker 12: the Lakers to make win now moves. But there is

1546
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 12: once next season happens, it's likely going to be him

1547
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 12: in a Lakers' uniform, and that's a.

1548
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:08,560
Speaker 5: I agree with that. I agree with that.

1549
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 4: I think it has a little bit much ado about nothing,

1550
01:09:10,479 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 4: and it's a it's a good story.

1551
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 5: There's some smoke, but I agree with you on that.

1552
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,760
Speaker 4: But kind of along those lines with Brownie James, you're

1553
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 4: now seeing him in his second year. Nicki and I

1554
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 4: were talking earlier and NICKI was saying, you know, he's

1555
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:23,640
Speaker 4: going to have a career, he's going to be a

1556
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:26,919
Speaker 4: rotational player. How have you seen him kind of improve

1557
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:28,719
Speaker 4: and mature out of this out.

1558
01:09:28,680 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 5: This last year.

1559
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 12: Yeah, he's improved leaps and bounds. I think again it's

1560
01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 12: a summer league performance. But when I'm looking at his

1561
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 12: summer league game Bride or yes, the other week, other day,

1562
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 12: I mean versus last year, it's night and day. He's

1563
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 12: a lot more confident. He shoots the ball better, he's

1564
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 12: not afraid to be physical as a defender, even against

1565
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 12: bigger guys like Cooper Flagg and so I don't think

1566
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 12: anyone has the illusion that he's going to mirror his

1567
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 12: father's career as far as being a generational talent, multi

1568
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 12: year All Star. But I do share that optimism that

1569
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 12: you all maketion that he could be a rotation player.

1570
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 12: Now that's an unknown as well, but I think at

1571
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 12: the very least he could carve himself out as a

1572
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 12: guy that's on a team ten to eleventh, twelfth man

1573
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 12: on the roster, great practice player, great attitude, can be

1574
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 12: very adaptable with fluid playing time. But because of his

1575
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 12: work ethic and the fact that he doesn't have a

1576
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,839
Speaker 12: defined skill set, but he doesn't have a defined weakness

1577
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 12: that gives him an opportunity to really become an all

1578
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:33,599
Speaker 12: round player as a role player. And so the fact

1579
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:36,960
Speaker 12: that he has that attitude is coachable suggests that he'll

1580
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 12: be able to carve that path for himself.

1581
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 2: I've loved everything I've seen out of the way he

1582
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 2: carries himself. But Mark, when we look at big picture,

1583
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 2: right and the teams that have seemingly won the offseason

1584
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 2: so far, I'm looking at Denver, I'm looking at Atlanta.

1585
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 2: There is one more oh Houston bringing in Kevin Durant.

1586
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 2: First of all, who else do you think are silent

1587
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 2: winners so far? And do you think we will be

1588
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 2: getting any more big moves here before you know, as

1589
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 2: we ramp up into the training camp.

1590
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 3: I guess, you know, September?

1591
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think really the only other team would be Milwaukee.

1592
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 12: On one hand, you think, okay, why would they waive

1593
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 12: Damian Loward. They spent so much capital to get him.

1594
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 12: You don't know how janisant Tokumpo is going to feel.

1595
01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 12: But that gave them, you know, some money and flexibility

1596
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:27,640
Speaker 12: to get someone like Lyles Turner who's one of the

1597
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 12: best centers in the NBA, great rim protector, stretch five.

1598
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 12: But I do think that the Houston Rockets won the

1599
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 12: offseason because not only do they give Kevin Durant, get

1600
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 12: Kevin Durant, who still planned all NBA level when he's

1601
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:42,639
Speaker 12: on the court. But what they didn't have to give

1602
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 12: up they still have Aman Thompson, great two way player,

1603
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 12: one of the fastest players in the league, Albertsonngoon. He's

1604
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:53,560
Speaker 12: becoming an elite center and very well rounded overall. He

1605
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 12: made a Doka great coach, and so I still put

1606
01:11:57,120 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 12: the odds on shavor for the Thunder to repeat a

1607
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 12: champion to get out of the West. But I want

1608
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 12: to be surprised that the Houston Rockets meet them in

1609
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 12: the Western Conference finals and challenge them to a seven

1610
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 12: game series.

1611
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:11,600
Speaker 4: I think it thinks be a lot of fun. I

1612
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 4: think the West is going to be a lot of fun.

1613
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 4: We were talking to our previous guests about the Hawks,

1614
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 4: and I know we mentioned that, but in the Eastern Conference,

1615
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 4: do they seem like a team to you that may

1616
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 4: really surprising people and come out on love there.

1617
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:26,680
Speaker 12: Yeah, I want to put them as a favorite. I

1618
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 12: think in the Eastern Conference, it would be Cleveland because

1619
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 12: they run it back. They're you know, I think very

1620
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,640
Speaker 12: salty with the fact that they underachieved in the playoffs

1621
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 12: after having such a dominant regular season. I put them

1622
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 12: Knicks at number two with the fact that if Jalen Bronson,

1623
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 12: Karlapia Pound's back Mike Brown, it can be a new voice,

1624
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 12: even though I think Tom Thibodeau is mostly as a

1625
01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 12: good coach than in a bad one. But I think

1626
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 12: Atlanta's right up there because Trey Young's still playing a

1627
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 12: high level. They have a better supporting cast around them

1628
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:59,799
Speaker 12: right now with Luke Canard, great shooter, chrisos porzingis, great

1629
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 12: all round player as much as the Boston Celtics, for example,

1630
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 12: their identity revolved around Jason Tatum at Joe Brown. Chrisp

1631
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 12: Borzingis was really that connector that made sure that two

1632
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 12: offensively dominant players could also yield a balanced offense. And

1633
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:19,600
Speaker 12: so I think that that KP move is huge. Obviously

1634
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 12: always questioned on his durability, but I think in fairness

1635
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 12: to him, ever since he was with Washington, he's had

1636
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 12: a much cleaner bill of health than he was than

1637
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 12: he had in New York and Dallas. So that leads

1638
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 12: me to think that he's not gonna play all these

1639
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:39,080
Speaker 12: two games, but he also won't be injury prone throughout

1640
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 12: the season. So I would rank Atlanta probably, you know,

1641
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 12: a healthy fifth or fourth, fifth or sixth, and Milwaukee

1642
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 12: in there, depending on you know, how healthy anisonse the

1643
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 12: koobook have said.

1644
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 4: Before we let you go, I'd love to know if

1645
01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 4: there's one story coming out of Summer League, whether it

1646
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 4: be in the G League or in the NBA that

1647
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 4: people aren't so on aren't talking about as much, but

1648
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:03,599
Speaker 4: people should be keeping an eye on.

1649
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1650
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:09,639
Speaker 12: I think the Pelicans with Jeremiah Fears number seven tich.

1651
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 12: I think Derek Queen most notably because the Pelicans traded

1652
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 12: up to get him higher in the draft, and that

1653
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 12: was that caused a lot of you know, I think

1654
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 12: commentary to the Pelicans didn't know what they're doing because

1655
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:25,040
Speaker 12: they made moves that suggested they're getting ready for rebuild,

1656
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:27,800
Speaker 12: like trading CJ. McCollum. Then all of a sudden they

1657
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:30,559
Speaker 12: trade up higher in the draft just to get another

1658
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 12: young player. But I think Derek Queen has a chip

1659
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:35,839
Speaker 12: on his shoulder. He's a really good prospect out of Maryland,

1660
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 12: and I wouldn't be surprised if those two players. They're

1661
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 12: not going to make the Pelicans a contender, but they

1662
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,560
Speaker 12: could at least make them respectable, assuming Zion warrants and

1663
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 12: can stay relatively healthy.

1664
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,960
Speaker 4: Awesome, Thank you so much, so much joining us Mark,

1665
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 4: have fun the rest of summer league, and we'll talk

1666
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 4: to you soon.

1667
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 1: Yes, thanks so much.

1668
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 12: You're all the best.

1669
01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 9: Nice.

Speaker 3: It's a party. It actually has been a party. I

1675
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:18,680
Speaker 3: we're at the club.

Speaker 4: We've talked about Sharks, We've talked about justin Bieber Club.

1679
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 5: Great again, make clubbing great.

1680
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 3: We all need to go clubbing.

1681
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 4: We do need to go clubbing, maybe not like right

1682
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:34,759
Speaker 4: after the show, but sometime for sure.

1683
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 3: But we've covered a variety.

1684
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:41,080
Speaker 4: Of topics today and now it is time to get into.

1685
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:42,280
Speaker 3: Something that should make you feel good.

1686
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 4: Because there are feel good stories of the week, and

1687
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 4: I am actually going to start with this one.

1688
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:53,599
Speaker 5: This is one close to my heart.

1689
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 4: And I don't I don't need to sound emotional, but

1690
01:15:56,600 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 4: it's an emotional topic for me. Cody Bellinger is thriving,

1691
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:06,040
Speaker 4: and he had a three home run game the other night.

1692
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:06,759
Speaker 5: First of his career.

1693
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 4: It was almost a four home run game, but for

1694
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:12,760
Speaker 4: a very close catch. It was almost a four run game.

1695
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 4: And Cody Vllanger's my favorite baseball player ever. Well now

1696
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 4: show hate to but he was my favorite Dodger. When

1697
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 4: he left, I was really devastated. I'm not going to

1698
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:24,679
Speaker 4: tell you guys that I cried, even though I did.

1699
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:25,920
Speaker 3: She's not going to tell you that.

1700
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 5: I'm not going to tell you that.

1701
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 4: Watching the video they made to thank you Cody video

1702
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 4: made me cry, like ridiculously on an airplane or anything

1703
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 4: like that. But he was my favorite, and so then

1704
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 4: he thrived with the Cubs. Just to see him thriving

1705
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 4: it makes me happy. He was the rookie of the year,

1706
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 4: he was the league MVP, and then he just struggled

1707
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 4: and it was hard to watch. So I think to

1708
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 4: see him thriving again just makes me really happy. Even

1709
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 4: though he's thriving for another team, and if they play

1710
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:55,479
Speaker 4: each other in the World Series and.

1711
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:56,639
Speaker 3: Have a lot of trouble right.

1712
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 2: Well, I just I love the storylines in sports where

1713
01:17:00,160 --> 01:17:03,439
Speaker 2: you know, athletes are written off and it was just

1714
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 2: maybe you know, the relationship wasn't the one they were

1715
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:09,440
Speaker 2: meant to be in. And they always say that, you know,

1716
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 2: one failed relationship might lead you one step closer to

1717
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:13,639
Speaker 2: finding your forever partner.

1718
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 4: I just wanted Cody to be part of the Dodgers

1719
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 4: forever partner, but I understood he's part of the lore.

1720
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1721
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 2: Well, and my feel good story is, you know, just

1722
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:30,440
Speaker 2: reflecting on the woman's Wimbledon final with Amanda and Asimova

1723
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 2: and her journey to get to that point, you know,

1724
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 2: walking away from the game for mental health, returning, and

1725
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 2: the emotions are so real, not just because of what

1726
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 2: she went through. I mean, this is a young woman

1727
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 2: who lost her father at an early age and her

1728
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 2: mom flew out, you know, for this, for this moment,

1729
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 2: for this match, and Amanda thanking her mom, saying, my

1730
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 2: mom's the strongest, most selfless person I know. And I

1731
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 2: just think, obviously not the result you want, you want

1732
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:04,240
Speaker 2: to you want to win it all, but the journey

1733
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 2: is is just as precious. So I really I really

1734
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,639
Speaker 2: loved that we were able to celebrate this young woman's arc.

1735
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:12,679
Speaker 3: Today.

1736
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:17,120
Speaker 4: I have another really nice story from Cincinnati Reds fan

1737
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 4: had a sign that said my wife beat cancers a

1738
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 4: SS Let's go Reds and Tyler Stevenson saw the sign

1739
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 4: and was sent to congratulations by having his bat.

1740
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 5: From the night's game signed and delivered to her. And

1741
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 5: I think that's pretty awesome.

1742
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:35,200
Speaker 3: It's little things like that.

1743
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 4: It is this is and it's it's very baseball and

1744
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:39,839
Speaker 4: how can you not be romantic about baseball?

1745
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 2: Right?

1746
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 4: And I have one more just because there's another dog

1747
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:46,639
Speaker 4: in baseball. Okay, every week there's been a dog in baseball.

1748
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,240
Speaker 4: And the Rays had a poodle poodle sitting in the

1749
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:52,679
Speaker 4: dog out fully uniformed like you let me see the team.

1750
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:55,800

1751
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 4: full hat, full hat uniform. And I just want to

1752
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 4: commend Major Baseball for putting dogs. I have had a

1753
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:06,640
Speaker 4: feel good story about a dog in Major League baseball.

1754
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:08,680
Speaker 3: And it makes me so happy. I love it. I
