12
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: Your selfish bastard.

13
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: Uh. Big night in college basketball, looking ahead to the

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: full first day of the NCAA Tournament coming up. In

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: a minute, I'll tell you the best two things I

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: can tell you about filling out your bracket, because now

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: everybody should be at the point where we're filling out

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: our brackets, right. Rick Bucher stopped by with us earlier

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: tonight and he said, no, I'm filling out my bracket

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: until after the last game I see Miami of Ohio

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: how it ends. Before we move on the two biggest

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,639
Speaker 1: things I can tell you in a second to follow

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: with filling out your bracket because trust me, for thirty

24
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: years of experience, I do pretty well in these tournaments.

25
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: But uh, Miami of Ohio, America's darlings advance into the

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: first round of the NCAA tournament tonight. They hold off

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: SMU by ten and in typical this year Redhawk's fashion,

28
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: at the end of waving to the crowd, giving messages

29
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: out there just like they did during the the MAC

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: Tournament when they won a game, when I got a

31
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: little dicey there at the end. Look, this controversy with

32
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: them is just stupid, right, the whole fact do they

33
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: belong do they not? The whole thing was stupid. Now,

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: the best part of it was the NCAA understood that

35
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: they had an opening, and they understood that the NCAA

36
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: tournaments at television show and people want to see really

37
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: good TV. And this is why when you put teams in,

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: you put in too many mid majors, A people gonna watch.

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: More people would watch a Syracuse if I mean they

40
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: got to finish over five hundred, but more people watch

41
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: a Syracuse than would watch Monmouth in a game, right

42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: if it's down between the two. So you understand it's

43
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: a TV show. And I think the NCA is starting

44
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: to see that a little bit now because you look

45
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: at the way the teams were put in the tournament

46
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: this year. Basically, the NIT is a mid major tournament.

47
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: Not as many mid majors in this year. It's a

48
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: lot of heritage teams, which is the way it should be. Right,

49
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: I've told you for a long time mid major teams

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: are great. I love mid major teams. They don't play

51
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: the schedule that the Power five conferences do, so to

52
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: put them in all of a sudden an equal footing

53
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: in the NCA tournament isn't quite the best thing. It's

54
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: why when Major League Baseball gets to the playoffs, they

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: don't include teams from TRIPAA. Right, you just don't play

56
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: the same schedule that the big boys do. Right, You

57
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: could say, hey, I'm gonna put you up in there,

58
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: and maybe any given Saturday you can win a game. Sure,

59
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: but why are you having the regular season? Then why

60
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: just have a whole big three hundred and sixty team tournament? Then,

61
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: so I see where the point goes with the mid

62
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: majors and too many teams being in And maybe this

63
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: is where the correction was this year. But Mamami Ohio

64
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: should have been in right when you go undefeated regular

65
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: season in the MAC, Yeah, you're an nca tournament team,

66
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: but they saw the opening that this was a year

67
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: for Hey, wait a minute, if we just put them

68
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: in the tournament and we bury them in a game

69
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: on a Thursday or a Friday, are people gonna watch

70
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: that game? What if they're on opposite Duke? Right, what

71
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: if they're on opposite North Carolina? What if they're on

72
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: opposite another big game? Oh but wait, we put them

73
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: on in the first four. Suddenly that's appointment. A's appointment television, right,

74
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: because eventually they're gonna get pass putting the sixteen versus

75
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: sixteen in right, because that's a really tough one. But hey,

76
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: we finally have seen something. And what happened? You go

77
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: to social media and Miami of Ohio number one trending

78
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: topic right everywhere. Right, you saw a team that could

79
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: be America's darlings, the mid major team that everybody could

80
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: throw their arms around because they have the storyline, they

81
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: have the narrative. Yeah, we're gonna put them on big

82
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: national TV window and yeah, they're patting themselves on the

83
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: back right now, and it's great, and I'm I'm rooting

84
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: for them because I want to see them win, because

85
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: I want to see them show. Then hey, yeah, even

86
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: though we didn't beat the teams that other teams beat

87
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: this season, we want to validate we're in the tournament. Right,

88
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: as long as you don't go overboard and start putting

89
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: in all kinds of mid major teams. Where are they good?

90
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. You're putting their resume up against Auburn's resume,

91
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: or their resume is going up against Ohio State's resume

92
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: or whatever it is. Yeah, that's not quite where you

93
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: want to be with the NCAA tournament. So right now,

94
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: this one team that cuts through. Yeah, this is great.

95
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: This takes me back to the NCAA tournaments of the

96
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: early two thousands, where hey, you had one or two

97
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: Cinderella teams that grabbed your attention. You followed them through,

98
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: whether it was Bryce Drew making a big shot or whatever.

99
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: Go back to Ali, Ferrik Montash, you know, making a

100
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: big three. You want to go back to those times. Yes,

101
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: friend of the Show we had them on a few

102
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: years ago. You want to go back to that, And

103
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: that's kind of where I think this tournament is at

104
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: this point where it's kind of harkening back to the

105
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: early two thousands days, the real big salad days of

106
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament. So yeah, I'm rooting for them, want

107
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: to see them in, not picking them to go very far.

108
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: I didn't pick them to go very far, but they're

109
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: great to get in. The best advice that I could

110
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: give you for filling out your NCAA tournament bracket, Alex Tischer,

111
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: I can't believe you filled out your bracket without talking

112
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: to me. Now you should have. You should have filled it.

113
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: I should have talked to me first. I could have

00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: helped you. Jason. There was no talking them out of

115
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,120

116
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: on far. Didn't Didn't you have the Mustangs going pretty far?

117
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 3: I had him winning the whole thing.

118
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Before you even knew that they were a Southern Methodist university. Yeah,

119
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: no idea, Yeah no, you think they're Southern Connecticut utters.

Speaker 2: I love.

121
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's okay, But you should have talked

00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: to me. Why because I would have told you. I

123
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: would have given you the two best things I could do,

124
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: two best piece of advice I could give you outside

00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: of outside of not eating yellow snow. I could give

126
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: you these pieces of advice, but Tyser wants to win.

127
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: Okay, wait, hold on, don't overgo the yellow snow. What

128
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 3: do you mean don't eat yellow snow? Why?

129
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not good for you.

130
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: Huh.

131
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: It's not a snow cone that someone just dropped out

132
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: there for you to have. Oh watch out?

133
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, why was it always on the you know, like the

134
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: premeditated white isn't always healthy. So like the whole concept

135
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: of you know, we talked about not eating certain type

136
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: of foods. Remember, yeah, don't eat that, sure cauliflower, there's

137
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 3: not a lot of nutrients.

138
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, an't you although califlower as the base

139
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: for pizza, Oh, bas suddenly makes pizza incredibly healthy.

140
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: That's true.

141
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: It's almost like it's good for you.

142
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 3: Well, that is true.

143
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: You almost be bedoing yourself a disservice not eating cauliflower pizza.

144
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 3: We have been for a long time.

145
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because collie, Because cauliflower crust is like nothing.

146
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: It gives you a decent amount of an okay amount

147
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: of carbs, but not crazy yeah, and not crazy amount

148
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: of carbs. So the net carbs are down. It's almost

149
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: like it. So I found something with cauliflower that's good

150
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: for you.

151
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:52,119

Speaker 1: I'm like, that was great and I barely even tasted it.

Speaker 1: That was the best pizza. I'm ready for another slice. Jason,

00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: certain things, knowing not to Yeah, okay, No, I've fallen

170
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: victim to having certain things I wasn't supposed to have.

171
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: But that's something that No, I did not like a girlfriend. No,

172
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: I wish you would like me.

173
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 3: No.

174
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: One time I went to a I went to a

175
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: Syricus used tailgate with my dad on a Saturday morning

176
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: and it was a freshman oh sorry, senior when I

177
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: was twenty one, over twenty one, and I had just

178
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: come off like a really big Friday night of happy

179
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: hour night. And my dad came to get me because,

180
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: you know, going to tailgate for a noon game. We're

181
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: leaving at like nine thirty. Now. I just gone to

182
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: bed at like four. So my dad comes to the

183
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: room to get me, is like, oh my god, hecause

184
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: did a bomb go off on a yard sailing here.

185
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, Dad, I'll be ready in a second. So

186
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: I get dressed and I'm not feeling good. And we

187
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: go to the tailgate and I see this, this this

188
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: container that one of his friends had. It's got orange juice,

189
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: and I go, oh my god, I love orange juice

190
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: right now, look can I have some of that? And

191
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: my dad goes, yeah, oh das a poor big glass

192
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: and I chugged like the whole thing, like oh my god,

193
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: it's just what I need. And then I realized that

194
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: I spit whatever I left out because it was orange.

195
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: It was orange juice and vodka. And I was like, oh,

196
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: I can't have this. This is awful. Call the screwdriver. Dad,

197
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: why didn't you tell me? He goes, well, I thought

198
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: you knew. I'm like, oh, Dad, that's my dad. I

199
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: thought you knew. Dad, you knew I wasn't feeling good.

200
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: He knew I didn't want any of this. Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad,

201
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: what are you doing? No, it's my dad. He did that.

202
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: That's insane.

203
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah he didn't. Yeah, he's gonna need to ride home.

204
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: Dads would put a label on it. Yeah no. But

205
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: the thing is, my dad's gonna need to ride home

206
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: from his back surgery tomorrow. Maybe I'm there for him.

207
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not. No, you're not, Ah, Maybe i'm not.

208
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: You got a flat, dad, Maybe I'm watching college basketball

209
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: and can't give you a ride home from your backs.

210
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: Maybe you got an uber dad. Maybe maybe you're eating

211
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: King Taco and you're too busy King Taco.

212
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: So then, Jason, if I'm not supposed to pick SMU,

213
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: how do I pick a better team?

214
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So here's your two things. Number one, the two bag. Again,

215
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: this is thirty years of doing these brackets. I do

216
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: pretty well on him. I don't win every year unless

217
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: every one was like five. I'll finish, I'll fit, I'll

218
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: be fourth, I'll be into the final four with a

219
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: chance to win. Like last year. I think I finished

220
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: third or fourth. A couple of years ago I finished second.

221
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: I tied to win it like five years ago. So

222
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: these two things that will always carry you through. Number one,

223
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: don't pick the upsets until you get to the Elite eight.

224
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: Go kind of chalk until you get to because if

225
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: you pick the upsets early and it doesn't come through,

226
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: that screws your bracket all the way through. You want

227
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: to go crazy with oh there's always a twelve five upset, Yeah,

228
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: don't try to pick it. That's dumb. If you pick

229
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: the wrong one, guess what, You're screwed all the way through.

230
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: Don't when you get to the Elite eight, I'm with

231
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: you on starting to pick up sets, because that's where, hey,

232
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: you want to differentiate your bracket. You really think this

233
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: team can win over this team. You get to the

234
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: Elite eight, that's when you go pick your upsets, right,

235
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: get there to get to the final four of a

236
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: little bit of a different final four. The other thing

237
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: I will give you is this, don't take Syracuse. Well, no, no, no,

238
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: Syracuse is not. Then you have a head coach right now,

239
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: and we're gonna well after tomorrow night, after Sianna loses

240
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: to Duke, we'll have Jerry McNamara. They'll actually be signing

241
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: into the contract walking off the floor with a Syracuse hat. Hey,

242
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 1: welcome to beat Duke, welcome back. Oh. Then we're not

243
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: getting him. Then we're not we're not getting Jerry McNamara.

244
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: Then we're getting McK cronin. Then we're getting don't say that, man,

245
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: Jerry mcnamurry is probably the only guy that even wants

246
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 1: He's the only guy that wants the job. I mean,

247
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: if you're serious, Syracuse is the number one opening in

248
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: college basketball this offseason, and all ready two guys from

249
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: mid major schools have said no, South Florida, no, Saint

250
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: Louis no, don't want the job. Like wow, man, that's

251
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: how far Syracuses go. There's always Gottlieb. Gottlieb got Leave's

252
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: the next choice. If Jerry mcnamaray doesn't want it. Got

253
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: leaves the guy got leaves the guy because I mean it,

254
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: you want got somebody who wants it has to want

255
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: the job, and nobody wants the job. Man, I want

256
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: the job. I'll take it. I wonder why nobody wants

257
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: the job because it's not in Syracuse. Is not a

258
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: destination anymore, it's not, it's it's not. I will Will

259
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: you write a reference for me?

260
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: Yes?

261
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: All right? Cool, hardonable. They are the yellow snow cones

262
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: of the basta. Yeah, they've kind of been that way

263
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: the last couple of years.

264
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 3: Uh.

265
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: The other bit of advice I could tell you that

266
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: will help you mostly is when you pick your winner,

267
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: pick a one seed. Pick a one Because now we

268
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: are forty years into the expanded NCAA tournament, meaning sixty

269
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: four teams. Right, so let's go back the modern era

270
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: of the NCAA tournament forty of sixty four teams, the

271
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: number one seed has won. A number one seed has

272
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: won the NCAA Tournament twenty six of those forty years.

273
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: So you have to be incredibly convinced that a non

274
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: one seed is gonna win rather than just take a chance,

275
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: because chances are two thirds of the time a one

276
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: seed wins. Right, you have twenty six one seeds winning.

277
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: Then you have like three twos and three threes, a

278
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: couple of fours, a five, a seven, and eight, and

279
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: that gets you to forty teams. So when you pick,

280
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: have an idea of the number one seed you want

281
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: to win the NCAA tournament. That's gonna help you more

282
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: than because you're likely not gonna pick the right team

283
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: if you go outside a one seed. Those are the

284
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: two pieces of advice I can give you more than

285
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: anything else. There some good two seats. There are good

286
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: two seeds, But do you love them so much that, yeah,

287
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: I can see them getting all the way through. There's

288
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: not enough two seeds that I love that much. I

289
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: like like, I like four, I like a couple of

290
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: fours and fives more than I like the two seeds

291
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: in this tournament. Never more than this year has the

292
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: one seeds been favored as much as they're right now. Yeah,

293
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: and for good reason. Yeah, I mean, watch college basketball

294
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: this year. There are way those four teams that are

295
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: number ones are way ahead of everybody else. Yeah, I mean,

296
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: they're not all gonna make it. They actually they might,

297
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: they might, But this is a year where there's a

298
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: lot of good teams, like the top twenty five in

299
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: college basketball, Like there's only like four or five great

300
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: right now. But things, but crazy things happen in the tournament,

301
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: as you know, right, all of a sudden, the team

302
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: with great guard play starts playing terrific. You get deeper

303
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: in the tournament this year more than any other. I

304
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: can see a this year where the fifteen through twenty

305
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: seeds are the fifteen through twenty seeds, that the fifteen

306
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: through twenty ranked teams can beat the one through five

307
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: ranked teams like that. That's that's not that big a

308
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: reach to say that, because this year, this has been

309
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: a great year in college basketball. It's been deep. There's

310
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: a lot of good teams again why like a couple

311
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,719
Speaker 1: of fours and fives to make it to the final four.

312
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: That's interesting because when you say bout like following the

313
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 3: chalk and you watch the whole play out of the

314
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 3: madness itself, there has been a lot of these random

315
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: twelves that'll beat somebody higher up, and we kind of

316
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: get caught up in it. But one thing I will say, Jason,

317
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 3: from watching more sports being here, is that the morale

318
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 3: is a big thing for a lot of younger players

319
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 3: and teams. So for example, if you get a hot

320
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 3: first half and then you go back into this, you

321
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: could totally run the game on a different team, And

322
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 3: especially when it comes down to like in the moment,

323
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: a lot of these kids, this is the highest they'll

324
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 3: ever play. So if you think about it, you said

325
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 3: perfectly following the chalk. But in my opinion, I'll go

326
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: on a limb here. I don't think a one's gonna

327
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 3: win this year.

328
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: Well it's wow, look at you, just because you picked

329
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: High Point to win the nc I picked Illinois. Okay,

330
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: there are three Okay, see all right, Illinois, good, Okay,

331
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win it. The other part that

332
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: is become a thing with the NCAA tournament is now

333
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: that all the good players are all leaving after a

334
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: year or two. Yes, you don't get to that point

335
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: where hey, here's a team running through the tournament with

336
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: a couple of freshmen in the backcourt versus this team

337
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: that's been there four years and here's four seniors. No,

338
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: it's all freshmen and sophomore led teams versus other freshmen

339
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: and sophomore let's just good and then it's a toss up,

340
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: which is good whoever's getting hot at that point, right

341
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: and and and that's that's something that I don't think

342
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: that's been taken into account more of that. Hey, when

343
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: you have the young team, sometimes it can be great,

344
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: sometimes it's not. But you you know, it's really a

345
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: toss up. You deep you get into the tournament. Again,

346
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: those teams that are ranked fifteen through twentieth can beat

347
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: the teams one through five. And I have a big

348
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: number one seed going down to a five seed in

349
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: the NC like that. Some people, Oh, I have that

350
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: coming up next. I'll give you my final four again.

351
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: I'll give you this hint. I got a one, a four,

352
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: and two fives in my final four with a one

353
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: winning it all. That's coming up next. Jason Smith, Mike Harmon.

365

Speaker 1: This seems like a line that's too good to be true,

366
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: but BYU is much better than their seed indicates when

367

Speaker 1: to the final four. But you want a story that

414
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: cuts through the clutter. We are getting ready for the

415
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: World Cup later on this summer, and Fox made an

416
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: unbelievably smart move today because there's gonna be a lot

417
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: of new players cutting through right every time we get

418
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,719
Speaker 1: to a World Cup, Hey, who becomes Who's the new

419
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: star of the World Cup? Who are the new stars

420
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: of the World Cup. Nobody is going to be a

421
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: bigger star than a guy who's not going to play

422
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: a minute, and that is Laton latanim Uhimovich was named

423
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: analysts for the World Cup by Big Fox today and

424
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: this is an absolute no brainer. He is going to

425
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: wind up jumping through and being the breakout star of

426
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: the World Cup. The thing is is that people forget

427
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: what kind of personality he is. Right, forty four years old.

428
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: He retired a Cup years ago, incredible career, finished up

429
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: with AC Milan. He's been an executive with AC Milan

430
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years. And when he came

431
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: to the MLS, he just brought a bolt of enthusiasm excitement.

432
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: His first game, the goals against lafc is Loaton scoring

433
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: a goal of game, which guys just don't do in

434
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: the MLS. I mean, this was the type of pace

435
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: he was. Absolutely was thirty eight years old and he

436
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: was playing like this. But his interviews, his off the

437
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: field personality, it's so good. It's almost like he's a

438
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: He's like a caricature of of of of a person

439
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 1: because he's so entertaining. Right, like the character of Zava

440
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: in ted Lasso. You know is they say, oh, it's

441
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: molded after a couple of different No, you know that's

442
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: molded right after his lot time right even called him Zava.

443
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: Uh smart though Jason good for BIGX. Yeah, they finally

444
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,959
Speaker 1: figured it out. Us never goes far, so we need

445
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: something better to well. Yeah, well, look, you know I

446
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: will say this about about Laton is that there are times,

447
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: and I'll say this about the Fox booth during the

448
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: World Cup when the United States doesn't play well, When

449
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: they don't play well in a game, there's a lot

450
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: of negative of energy. Right. It's it's often, but there's

451
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: a lot of negative energy. Oh right, you know from

452
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: Donovan and Lesy Lawless. Right there there's a lot. Like

453
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: I can tell sometimes when the United States doesn't play

454
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: well and they go to them after a game, I go,

455
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: they are seething, right because these are all former players,

456
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 1: and I get it right, and I want them to

457
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: be that emotional, but boy, it just seems so negative

458
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: and it seems cold at times. Sure, and I'm like,

459
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: if they don't play well, it's like, man, it's gonna

460
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a post game show of just this

461
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: is gonna be this is bad, this is the worst

462
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: here we are. It's like, wow, okay, I get that,

463
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: but there's gotta be so you know, people want to

464
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: listen and watch because they want to be entertained. So

465
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: this is whereas Lawton would come in and just say

466
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: the Americans are no good. Why why why, why is this?

467
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: Why is this topic? Why why are we talking about this?

468
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: They are no good? They have not been good ever,

469
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, like this shows what he was like yesterday.

470
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 3: He would It's true.

471
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: He would say, I could play with with my mom,

472
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: my mom, who is eighty five years old. We would

473
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: beat the United States today.

474
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 3: Oh he would literally look starting twelve MLS, I play myself, Yeah,

475
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 3: you would, no problem.

476
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: These are these these players all play at the lowest

477
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: level of soccer. Right like he was his he would

478
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: say stuff like well, he would say, even though he

479
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: played in the MLS, he was looking for a place

480
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: to go, Right, where am I gonna go play them?

481
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: As Kim he built the MLS. Of course he did.

482
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 3: He did say that, of course he did.

483
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: He's so we're gonna play some sound from in a

484
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: couple of minutes, but he's so entertaining and the fact

485
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be able to do it without just

486
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: gas bagging it by just I'm gonna talk for you know,

487
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: two minutes and yell and pound the table. He's gonna

488
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: get his great points across in like twenty five seconds.

489
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: Feel like like how good Roy Kent was and Ted

490
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: Lasso like when they would go to me and go, Roy,

491
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: what do you think is being said in the locker

492
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: room right now? I'm not there. None of us are like,

493
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: oh okay, but this is what a Loton's gonna say

494
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: for real games. This is nonscripted. That's how good Laton's

495
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: gonna be. We are gonna come off of every single

496
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: night with a lot to go. What's he gonna say?

497
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: Right like like we used to come off of what's

498
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley gonna say? You know what? Inside the NBA

499
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: was actually on instead of being on like you know

500
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: three times, Like, what's Barkley gonna say? What's the postgame

501
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: gonna say? Here, what's so and so gonna say? Like,

502
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna be like for his Latton in

503
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: the World Cup, there's gonna be great players to cut

504
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: through for the first time. He's gonna be the big star.

505
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: What's he They're gonna want to put him on more

506
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: and more and more as a World Cup goes on.

507
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 3: You know why why think about this? You just mentioned

508
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 3: Charles Barkley? Correct, what does he do win championships?

509
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: No, he does commercials.

510
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 3: For what I'm saying though, when he plays sorry, one

511
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 3: of the best in his league, right, yeah, okay, we

512
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: had Dempsey Donovan. Sure, they're awesome players. They've won nothing

513
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: on a global stage, nothing because the laton On has

514
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 3: only conquered everything he's played in. This guy is the

515
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 3: most soundly just in everything he says. So he'll give

516
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 3: it to you unbiasedly. Like you said, America is s

517
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 3: Why are we watching. Let's go to the next game.

518
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 3: I'd rather watch Ronaldo or something.

519
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of time. What's your what's your opinion

520
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: of Christian politics? Performance? He's not as good as me.

521
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 3: Why does he play here? They suck?

522
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's an average player. If I

523
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: played on, if he would, it would be six of

524
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 1: him to be one of me.

525
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 3: Like, that's what he's gonna says. Players. I don't know

526
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 3: how your free country still this is best you off

527
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 3: for a world stay in MLS gives the desk instant

528
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 3: credibility with you.

529
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: Oh are you kidding? Man, don't get any interview. He'll

530
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: do sit down with all the stars. I don't know.

531
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: They might be afraid to go on with I don't know, man,

532
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: you might be afraid to go on with it.

533
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 3: I bet you they respect him, Oh.

534
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure they do. But like if they're not master

535
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: of the one liner or the comeback, they're not gonna

536
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: go on and go here's lots of You had a

537
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: brace tonight. Yeah, yeah I did. I felt pretty fortunate.

538
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: It was the list of cockiest people in the world.

539
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: He's got to be at the top, if not the top, dude.

540
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: When he signed with the Galaxy and confidence in cockiness,

541
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: the same thing, and Lebron welcomed him. He said, this

542
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: is wonderful because now Los Angeles has a god and

543
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 1: a king. Like I'm the god and Lebron's the king. Right,

544
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: But when he left to go back to AC Milan,

545
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: because he had a great ending at AC Milan, he said,

546
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: thank you for the time. Now you can go back

547
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: to watching baseball. Like that, that was his goodbye to

548
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, right, Like, this is whose Laton is and

549
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna be so incredibly entertaining. Man, no one's ready

550
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,479
Speaker 1: for how he's gonna take over the World Cup. What

551
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: does Laton say? I can't wait. We're gonna be playing

552
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: what he says back on the show all the time.

553
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna take over. Man, this is the best thing.

554
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: The best thing Fox could have done is get him,

555
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: and they're gonna put him in. He should do every game.

556
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: He should be on after every game, on the set, everywhere.

557
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: He should be. In fact, he should be in the

558
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: middle of the games. He's not even announcing we're gonna

559
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: pipe in his Laton. He's watching this game from the studio.

560
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: Oh okay, he's Loaton. What do you have to say.

561
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: We actually have sound from his meeting with the bobs

562
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports. We do well. This is o you know,

563
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: I can hear this auto anyplace else. All right. This

564
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: is him meeting with them figuring out his deal. This

565
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: was his response to their pitch of asking basically asking

566
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: him to do the World Cup coverage. Okay, all right,

567
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 1: let's hear it.

568
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 3: A World Cup without me wouldn't be a World Cup.

569
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: An actual quote, that was just you, ty shirt, That's

570
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 3: what he said.

571
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: That was just he said.

572
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 6: Uh.

573
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: He also said you're welcome America. At the end of

574
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: his press release, he says, I will be doing the

575
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: World Cup. You're welcome, And then he apologized to absolutely nobody.

576
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 1: He's never gonna apologize anybody for anything.

577
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I think we should give the people a

578
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 3: taste of Laton. I have a good clip here. You

579
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 3: want to hear it?

580
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course I do.

581
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 4: Let's go who's the best tracker in the Premier League

582
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 4: right now?

583
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: The English or foreigner?

584
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: Anyone you like?

585
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 6: Philocako is strong, Aguero is good, He's around.

586
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 2: He didn't say yourself liars.

587
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: They don't compare themselves with humors.

588
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 2: That's a very site.

589
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 3: You can't make it up.

590
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: Lions, they don't compare themselves with the humans. He's basically

591
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: LeVar ball, but can back it up. Oh yeah, he's

592
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: definitely got the career to back it up. Like I really,

593
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: I wish if there's anybody that I could go back

594
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: and say, I would like to make you twenty four

595
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: again and and and see your career and do it together.

596
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: Like I don't know many guys I would pick ahead

597
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: as Loton right because I've had enough to seeing Tom

598
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: Brady throw touchdowns and win, so I don't need to

599
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: see him. An he cheated, I don't need to see that.

600
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: But like I don't think ever cheating if Laton was

601
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: far playing in the MLS, you know, like at twenty

602
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: four or like I want, I want to see him,

603
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: but even at his age. How old was he thirty eight?

604
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: You said, Yeah, those were legendary games for us in

605
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: our window here at Fox Sports. Are you kidd the

606
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: way the way he could the way he could score,

607
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: where he could be in one on none on the

608
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: goaldie and be able to just it was the only

609
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: time outside of Messy that we talked MLS over and

610
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: he was. He was incredible, the way he could score

611
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: off of any part of his foot. Of course, where

612
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: if he had if he was on one on one

613
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: with the goalie. You know, sometimes guys have to try

614
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: to to to point it somewhere or get to a

615
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: point where you have an open net where he would

616
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: just kick it either off the outside or inside part

617
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: of his foot because he knew the angle to get

618
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: it on and it would just be like, wow, how

619
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: do you do that? Like how's Laton could do? That?

620
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: Was just incredible.

621
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 3: He's literally one of the only players to bicycle kick

622
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 3: from half field and score a goal.

623
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, he actually bicycle kicked Messi once and kicked him

624
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: all the way.

625
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 3: Well, he needed to go back to Argentina, so he

626
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 3: had to help him out.

627
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: Messi is very small. I'm sure he'll say that during

628
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: the World Game, so a ton could probably bicycle kick him.

629
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: Maybe that'll be a maybe that'll be a bit they do. Hey, hey,

630
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: before the game, tonight's Laton caught up with uh lion MESSI.

Speaker 2: Messi?

Speaker 6: Florida is a thirty five and a half point favorite.

654
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 6: That's the third biggest favorite since they started keeping track

655
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 6: of the seating in the tournament, and the biggest since

656
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 6: nineteen nine. NBA was non competitive today except for a

657
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 6: few games.

658
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: I'll start with the first one.

659
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 6: The Lakers extend their winning streak seven to seven games,

660

Speaker 6: Luca Dodgets combined for seventy points. Lebron had thirty of them.

662
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 6: You can do the math. Luca a rebound and assist,

663
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 6: I mean a rebound away from a triple double.

664
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 2: He had ten assists as well.

665
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,840

Speaker 6: Jalen Brown had thirty two, Peyton Pritchard nineteen off the

670
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 6: Brench Jerrymond Green had thirteen elsewhere in the NBA at

672
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 6: at halftime.

673
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: At halftime, I read that they their last two games

674
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: at halftime, they trailed by a combined sixty five points.

675
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:57,160

681
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 6: I believe only three players for Brooklyn were in double

682
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 6: figures most of the other games in the NBA blowout

683
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 6: in a bunch of teams that weren't trying to win.

684

740
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: how I do it, then one with Syracuse winning. But

741
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: I've only had to be a one bracket guy for

742
