14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: That that means life is going well. Yeah, Live from

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio Studios. Except the Mets. Uh, you

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: know what. We we don't have time for the Mets

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: right now because the Valkyries are about to start and

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: we are on Bilbo Baggins watch for the WNBA game

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: tonight that's about to tip a But the Mets could

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: be getting no hit, you know.

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: Instead, it was a Sammy so so like meaningless home

22
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 3: run in a way.

23
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: That was so much more Mets to actually here's the story.

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: It could be a no hitter, but they break it

25
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: up with one out in the ninth inning and lose.

26
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: Like that's so much more Mets than actually getting no hit.

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a better story that way, especially

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 3: when you got the broadcasters, you know, watching another game

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: but keeping an eye on a no hitter and kind

30
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: of commenting on that. And then the no hitter gets

31
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: broken up with the home run because it gets to

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: breathe otherwise, Yeah, they lost and they move on, right,

33
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter when you get into.

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: The ninth inning, you're basically no hit anyway, right, so

35
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: you go go all the way with it. Now, Soto

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: with a home run, they lose four to one. The

37
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: Mets lose again. All the now, the the losing Yankees

38
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: can't mask how bad the Mets have been. They can't

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: hide behind the Yankees anymore like they have.

40
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 3: You can still, Yes, I guess you move beyond that,

41
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: but you know, you do always have to celebrate, as

42
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: we want to do here in the evenings when we

43
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 3: come on and games have gone complete or as we

44
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: watch them. I gotta like Gavin Williams to have the

45
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: game that he did eight and two thirds. I give

46
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: him the the clapp forget about not getting the the

47
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: no hitter and giving up a danger. Uh, the fact

48
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: of the matter is the guy pitched past five innings.

49
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: That makes him an American hero.

50
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: You meant you what you okay? Okay? You want to

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: give him applause? Yeah, okay, very good. Want to make

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: sure that's what you mean. Laurel and Hardy handshake, all right,

53
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: I get, I give him a hand I give a

54
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: I give the U the giant applause. But here we

55
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: sit right now, and really, this is this is America

56
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Uh, the biggest game of the night,

57
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: the only game in the w NBA tonight record ratings.

58
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Valkyries hosting the aces, and of course

59
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: everybody will be watching to see if a certain sex

60
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: toy yeah gets thrown on the court for the fourth

61
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: time in the last week. Considering we saw it last

62
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: night in Los Angeles, we spent the last hour of

63
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: the show talking about it. Potentially it happened in a

64
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: couple of other games, but the Billbo Baggins did not

65
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: make it all the way onto the onto the court.

66
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: It was thrown on the they were thrown on the floor,

67
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: So I went, do we really think we're gonna get

68
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: that happening time? Do you really think do we see

69
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: another one thrown on the floor tonight between the Aces

70
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: and the Valkyrie. Oh well, you.

71
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 3: Know the security on high alert, monitoring my words carefully.

72
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: Uh.

73
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 3: You know, in terms of attempting to throw it, I

74
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: can't say that I've been involved in any kind of contest,

75
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: So I don't know throwing for distance, you know what

76
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: it does? What kind of torque and arm angle you got,

77
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: Because clearly there were a couple of attempts that failed

78
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: to reach the court, which is good. Some folks tried

79
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: to dismiss this categorically, and I think the sad state

80
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: of affairs is that that became the It's more a

81
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: hot topic than Caitlin Clark or any of these stars

82
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: missing time due to injury, the play on the court.

83
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,839
Speaker 3: It's the Valkyries. So we have what at least two

84
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: incidences with Valkyrie's games. Yeah, well, look, I mean really

85
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: gets you really into a larger discussion about San Francisco,

86
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 3: which has its reputation anyway.

87
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: I mean, look, everybody watching this game, it just tipped off,

88
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: like just watching the floor looking to see if something

89
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: gets the Is it gonna be time out? Is it

90
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: gonna be while someone shooting a free throw? Is it

91
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: not when they're shooting a free throw? Is someone gonna

92
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: tweet about it? Will they show it? Because I look,

93
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: we talked about this after it happened the second time,

94
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: as I guarantee you or if not, I should be

95
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: commissioned with the WNBA. Sorry Kathy Angeler, but I can

96
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: come in and take care of things and make people

97
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: love Caitlin Clark. Is that I I would be stunned

98
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: if there wasn't some court, some sort of meeting today,

99
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: some sort of conversation with the broadcast of the game

100
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: that says, if anything gets through it, if you see something,

101
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: they got to have a spotter that's watching, making sure

102
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: there's somebody who's job at this tonight is to see

103
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: if anything gets thrown on the court. And if something

104
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: gets thrown on the court, you direct the television to

105
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: not air it, so you do not say, now you

106
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: can't stop people on social media, people with cellful, but

107
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: you were stopping people from airing this because this is again,

108
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel bad for the WNBA because this

109
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: is the biggest headline they've had outside of Caitlin Clark,

110
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: and everybody is jealous of her, right, I feel bad

111
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: that that no one get you know, that the people

112
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: can't respect the game enough to the point where, oh,

113
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: a guy got arrested and we saw that, and and

114
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: and and a player said, hey, don't throw stuff on

115
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: the floor. You I don't care. I'm still gonna throw

116
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: something on the floor and I'm gonna throw it at

117
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: the player that said don't throw things. And this is

118
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: where we're at now, Like that, that's where that's.

119
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 3: The thing, right, because a lot of the discussion as

120
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: it is filtered out into the late hours and morning

121
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: after we were done and gone.

122
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: Uh last night was the well.

123
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think they're trying to send a

124
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 3: message like no, no, no, but the message which is

125
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 3: loudly received, it's diminishing and taking away from anything that's

126
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 3: happening on the court and in terms of the play

127
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 3: in between the white lines. Right, because the w NBA discussion,

128
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 3: for folks that aren't paying attention to the league at all,

129
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: it becomes a nice easy It's like, wow, this is

130
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: what the league is, right, We're talking about wigs and

131
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 3: sex toys. That's that's what it gets dismissed at well,

132
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 3: Caitlyn Clark and then Wiggs and then sex for the

133
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,679
Speaker 3: next story was here and god like the Whig story

134
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 3: was here and then it left like this is like

135
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: this is like this is a TikTok. Hey, people are

136
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 3: doing this kind of trend that's stuck around for a

137
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: long time. And againa I feel bad that that people

138
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 3: don't have their The league doesn't have the respect that

139
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 3: fans can see again, somebody get arrested, a player just

140
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 3: say hey, don't throw stuff like that on the court.

141
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 3: You did somebody, And not only does fans say, yeah,

142
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: I don't care about the prison thing or going to jail,

143
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna throw it at you, like, I mean,

144
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: just think about that for a second. Well, I think

145
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: we're using the term fan liberally because if you're in

146
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: the building, but if you're going there, I mean, look,

147
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 3: they paid for their ticket. But then there's obviously an

148
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: angle and since there's a betting market now on the

149
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: color of said toy that is the next to be thrown.

150
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 3: Now you can manipulate the markets because you have perfect information,

151
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: you decide to go in. I don't know what kind

152
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: of limit you can get on that, because that's going

153
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: to be a provider by provider. But if you can

154
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: go and make yourself a quick couple of hundred bucks

155
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: or a couple thousand bucks by importing said toy to

156
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: a game and firing onto a court, guess what people

157
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: have done a lot worse for a lot less.

158
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: Now, I'm glad you brought up the color because I

159
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: was thinking about this coming in, like I thought about it.

160
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: You were thinking about this, well, I had a million

161
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 3: other things.

162
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about gains america favorite color. This

163
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: is where we're at. No, no, no, no, you know

164
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: I can't stand that that neo green. I think it's

165
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: what it looks awful for. Yeah, I bought a whole

166
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: bunch of.

167
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 3: How got surplus couldn't But it's the most popular in

168
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: terms of sales.

169
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: And here's here's what I would have done, right, Here's

170
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: what I would have said. Okay, I would have given

171
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: all the players tonight neon green sneakers to wear during

172
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: the game. That way, it would be really if one

173
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: got thrown onto the because you know they're gonna throw

174
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: a green one. I know you have the different colors

175
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: but really the green's become the calling.

176
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: Well, but the green, right, all of the betting markets

177
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: are if not green, here are the odds, like it's

178
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: just taken off the board as the presumptive this is

179
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: going to be the color. But if it isn't, here

180
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: are the odds alone. By the way, if something does

181
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 3: get on the court, Kelsey Plump's finding it and kicking it.

182
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: So flying back in from Los Angeles to flying No.

183
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: But I mean if you had everybody in neon green sneakers,

184
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: it would be really tough. Then it's like, oh, well played, WNB.

185
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: I gotta put this away and try to come back

186
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: with a different color next time. Right, That's what I

187
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: because I think about it you're talking about You're talking

188
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: about twenty feet in one spot on the floor, and

189
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: if it gets thrown wait wait wait, I don't see it.

190
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: I don't see where is it? Where is it? I

191
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: don't see it. I don't say it. Now I realize

192
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't get thrown. You're gonna get people on social

193
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: media going, oh now, there's twenty of them on the floor. No,

194
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: but you want to I think you should do that

195
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: and say, okay, you really want to try to we

196
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: can play dirty here too. Are the odds based on

197
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: the first one to hit the floor. You think there's

198
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: be more than one? I don't know.

199
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: I mean there were multiple allegedly and a couple of

200
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 3: the spots yesterday. So if you're trying to make sure

201
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 3: you know, and you're you're running towards the court and

202
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: you're gonna throw, uh, maybe you distract all the security

203
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: so the person on the other side can get theirs

204
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: thrown in.

205
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: All right, So we're about five minutes into the game,

206
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: nothing has been thrown onto the court and Vegas Leeds

207
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: go not yet. Yes, you're right, you have to say

208
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: yet a Vegas Leeds Golden State eight three.

209
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 4: Now.

210
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: One thing that was thrown out there today about this

211
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: because the way the story turned out there, Yeah not.

212
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: My first day was that a no bag policy was

213
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: institute by the WMBA. I mean, you can't bring a

214
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: bag in to games, and anybody that's gone to a

215
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: game you know that some some stadiums you can bring

216
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: it if it's clear clear you can't bring in any bag.

217
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: Well like they the Hello Kiddy guy yesterday one hundred

218
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: dollars bag. Yeah, on the secondary market about I'm telling

219
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: you that Monte Bolgias is selling like ten twelve of

220
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: them at a time right now, any bay. But uh,

221
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that's true. That's not that's not been

222
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: verified by anybody. But a lot of people have picked

223
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: up all the no bag policy, no bag policy. But

224
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that's come. I mean, and I don't

225
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: know why that's something that's made up, because it's like, okay,

226
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: it would kind of make sense to have some kind

227
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: of policy. Okay, we can't keep having this, yes, right, this,

228
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: we can't keep that. I think that was tied into

229
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: the story where they're getting rid of the dunk contest.

230
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: Oh is that what? Oh? Okay, all right, I didn't

231
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: know that it was on the you scrolled down and

232
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: clicked it was right there, all the way on the bottom,

233
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: in a real tiny print, right there, right right right

234
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: before the unsubscribe. Oh you gotta click out it. We're

235
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: all the way down unsubscribed there. Uh So, all right,

236
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: So I ask you this, I asked you that. Yeah,

237
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: four thirty in the first quarter. Does something get thrown

238
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: on the floor tonight? Bilbo does a Does Bilbo Baggins

239
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: get thrown on the floor tonight? Yeah? Really see. I'm

240
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: gonna say no. At any point at tonight, I'm gonna

241
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: say no. I'm gonna say no. Not because I think

242
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: suddenly people have had enough of this, but it's the

243
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: only game you would have had to you would have

244
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: had You would have to find a way to get

245
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: to this game. It's like one of those hard to smuggle. Yeah,

246
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: you know what it's like. It's like when in Logan

247
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Lucky when they're like, Oh, we're gonna pull a big heights,

248
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? We're gonna rob Nascar. We're

249
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: gonna rob the track at one of the big races.

250
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: Oh whoa, that's a that's a tough race to get into. Yeah,

251
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: but we're gonna do it. Like the next tomorrow, there's

252
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of w NBA games and I don't know

253
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: where the person or people are doing this. Maybe they're

254
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 1: going back and forth, flying around the country, going but

255
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: this is one game, one spotlight on it, and if

256
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: it happens and you get caught, wow, I'll tell you what, man,

257
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna be really bad. So I think I think

258
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: they take tonight off from it, and we don't have

259
00:11:58,720 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: it happen tonight. I don't know.

260
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 3: We had one to hit Sophie Cunningham yesterday right next

261
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: to Kelsey Plum. And we've seen jackasses running across fields

262
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: for as long as you and I have been doing

263
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 3: the show. In decades before that. Sure, we had a

264
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 3: couple of guys that decided they didn't like the dude

265
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: from the Royals at in Chicago and went out and

266
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 3: actually got hammered to hit him here.

267
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: I mean, what's the maximum fine? I mean, like a

268
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: night in jail, and you might have been able to

269
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: make a bunch of money on the secondary were also

270
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: something where if you're gonna do something, let's just try

271
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: to eat A psychology people who try to do things

272
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: like this is that to do it when it's expected.

273
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: People kind of zig where they zag on that right, like, Okay,

274
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a night off. Now there's a bunch

275
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: of games tomorrow and whatever. Maybe it happens at one

276
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,599
Speaker 1: of the games throbout when there's more games going on.

277
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: Maybe some places or less lax with bringing stuff in.

278
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: Whatever it is, but one game to get away with

279
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: it when the when everybody's eyes are on it, that's

280
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: a difficult thing, man. I'm looking at it.

281
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: I'll go the other way, right, because tomorrow, what do

282
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 3: we get a bunch of NFL preseason Bilbo Baggins ain't

283
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 3: getting a lot of run. It would be a headline.

284
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 3: Nah no see competing with the NFL run. No see,

285
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: you're you're the only game in town tonight. Most baseball

286
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: has already been played on a getaway day white so Mariners.

287
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: Notwithstanding, now you get your run here.

288
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 3: By the way, the other thing is, now you also

289
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: have the variations of said objects start coming in, because

290
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: we gotta have the non metal versions that come through. Okay,

291
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: you metal in terms of the rigidity and such. M

292
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: E T A L Yeah, okay, not metal like on

293
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 3: the metal stands.

294
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no. Well, I mean that's

295
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: if we're talking about three. I don't know what the

296
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: silver is, but you only get one of those if

297
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: you throw it really for no, that's.

298
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 3: It right, And then here, I mean they're gonna have

299
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 3: halftime contests for throwing.

300
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,599
Speaker 1: No, I'm saying this.

301
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 3: This becomes a minor league baseball promotion at some point

302
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: instead of throwing a ball through the you know, football

303
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: through the net. Like everybody keeps harping on quarterbacks in

304
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: their workouts. Now we start having other kind of.

305
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: All right, I'm good, I'm still I'm still gonna say no,

306
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no. We have a clean game tonight.

307
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: They have a clean game tonight, and nothing hits the

308
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: floor except sneakers, the ball, and players, sweat and blood.

309
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: That's it. The sweat and blood hit the floor too. Okay,

310
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: maybe not blood. Sweat hits the floor, okay, okay, So

311
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: but when the bodies hit the floor. So we have sweat,

312
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: we have bodies, we have the ball, we have sneakers.

313
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: That's what. That's all the isolated here's your opportunity. Too dangerous, man,

314

Speaker 1: too dangerous, too dangerous. Everybody is looking waiting for it.

315
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: It's easy to police one game. How do you police

316
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, six games going on at one time? How

317
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: do you do that? It's tougher, man, you've seen all

318
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: these crazy you're not adding. Did they add extra security

319
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: for the game. But the more attention on this you

320
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: get called the bigger penalty. It's going to wind up

321
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: being because you get caught with the whole world wide.

322
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: It's like we say about it when you blow chunks

323
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon at one o'clock in the football season. Okay,

382
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: end of one. You know, to actually give the game

383
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 3: specificity as opposed to just whether someone committed a criminal act.

384
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: As e were nearing the end of the first quarter.

385
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: We're here. We're good. So now so far one quarter down.

386
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm feeling all right, I'm feeling okay about my produce.

387
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm hoping I win. I'm hoping I win, and the

388
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: WNBA is hoping I win.

389
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 3: Yes, they certainly are. Again, it's not a function of

390
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 3: whether someone's got some great plot as to why they're

391
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 3: doing it. They could simply just be jackasses. But it

392
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 3: does not help your league and the efforts of the

393
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 3: WNBA for this to be the reason that sports talk

394
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: and television in morning shows are talking about your league.

395
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: But this again, Welcome to America twenty twenty five. Yeah,

396
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: now you talked about helping and helping your league and

397
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: a helper. Yesterday we did a pretty big topic on

398
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: ESPN buying NFL Network and the Red Zone, and the

399
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: reaction after that happened was, to a man, fans say,

400
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: ESPN's just gonna screw it up, whether they feel that

401
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: ESPN is gonna be too woke or they're gonna force

402
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: feed personalities. I can't stand on me and Stephen A.

403
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: Smith is gonna host the red zone touch down Eagles

404
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: touns down here like whatever's gonna happen. Uh, they're gonna

405
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: find a way to ruin it. And you know, we

406
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: talked about this last night. We went viral for us

407
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: that if you're ESPN and the reaction to the Worldwide

408
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: Leader getting more football from the fans is we're gonna

409
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: ruin it. You need to look in the mirror and

410
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: figure out how to change the optics and reputation of

411
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: the Worldwide Leader, because that is I mean, this is

412
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: not ESPN is not some sort of fly by night

413
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: streaming service that has a lot of money saying hey,

414
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna buy some NFL games. Oh okay, great, what

415
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: is it? Yeah, I know, we're gonna work and put

416
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: it on a paramount plus plus no paramount plus, no

417
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: paramount plus plus. It's the second paramount's paramount plus plus. Yeah,

418
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: don't worry about it, we'll find it. Shows top Gun, Maverick,

419
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: and then we show all the NFL stuff. So is

420
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: the this is the status of ESPN right now. It

421
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: is a look in the mirror moment of this is

422
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: the image of the company that has been leading the

423
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: sports world for the better part of the last fifty years,

424
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: right and then today somehow that story got worse because

425
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: today it was announced another big moment for ESPN. They

426
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: announced a big partnership with the WWE. Ww is bringing

427
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: a lot of events to ESPN that ESPN is going

428
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: to stream on different platforms. Is a lot of inside

429
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: baseball with this in business, but basically, WWE is going

430
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: to bring live premier events to ESPN. I'm sure some

431
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: of them will be part of the ESPN appen and

432
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: streaming service you have to buy. Some of them will

433
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: be on free ESPN as well. So this is going

434
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: to be a new world for the WWE. And does

435
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: it seem to be that different from what the WWE

436
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: has going on now? No, not really. Will there be

437
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more pay per view probably, Will there

438
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: still be a lot of free events, probably, But the

439
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: general reaction from everybody it look the two most popular

440
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: and most vociferous I would say fan bases, most rabid

441
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: fan bases in the world. Well three you have English

442
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: Premier League Soccer, the NFL and WWE. Those are the

443
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: most rabid fan bases you could possibly imagine. You had

444
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: the NFL fan base thinking you're just gonna screw up

445
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: the NFL, and now all day today was ww They're

446
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: gonna fight. ESPN is gonna find a way to screw

447
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: it up. I'm not wind up paying so much money

448
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: for this because look, ww puts pay per view events

449
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: on all the time. You want to follow the storylines

450
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: and not miss anything. Whereas with the NFL. Okay, if

451
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: I missed the Jets losing twenty eight to three, I

452
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: missed the Jets losing twenty eight to three, But I

453
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: want to see all this. So you see how upset

454
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: that the fans are. And and even again with this,

455
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: it was even more rabbid than it was a day

456
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: of Oh, because you had fans upset knowing full well,

457
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: this is money coming out of my pocket at some point. Now,

458
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: is it gonna be as much as people want to

459
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: make it, believe? No, because ESPN is not gonna Look

460
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: they've been doing this for a while. Are they gonna

461
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: do some stuff to help themselves out? Yeah? Is the

462
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: future of sports streaming, Yes, we've talked about this, whether

463
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: it's ESPN or Fox or Paramount or Max whatever, it is.

464
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: The future of sports is streaming. So it's not gonna

465
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: be that bad. But you see the reaction of the

466
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: fans being that they're just gonna ruin the WWE, and

467
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: now people are so pissed at ESPN forgetting They're pissed

468
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: at WWE. I mean that, I mean, that's amazing. They're

469
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: so pissed at ESPN. They're pissed at WWE for going

470
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: to ESPN. That's how bad. That's how bad an optic

471
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: this is that ESPN they got to take some of

472
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: this money and and and figure out a way to

473
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: change the network's reputation and optics. Because Wow, I can't

474
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: get over that. This is where it's out again, America

475
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.

476
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 3: Well, we'd already seen it happening for years with your

477
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 3: different talent appearing on ESPN properties morning shows, whatever to

478
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 3: do announcements. Certainly has seen that part of NFL network

479
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 3: as well. Plenty of NFL players with big NFL fan

480
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 3: bases and ties. Seth Rollins the new champ. He's a

481
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 3: Bears guy. Bailey one of my favorites. She's a big

482
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers fan, so there's always these ties. She

483
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 3: hangs out with George Kittle a bunch whatever else. But

484
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 3: the fine print was what got lost in all of this,

485
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 3: Like if you have a cable subscription that you get ESPN.

486
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 3: You will get access, Yes, you will get access. Right,

487
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 3: what you still have is this weird convergence or now

488
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: it's more disparate. Is that you've got the Netflix deal

489
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 3: has a couple more years for WWE, You've got the

490
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 3: Peacock deal that still has another couple of years, but

491
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 3: now you have the premium live events eventually going all

492
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 3: in to this ESPN deal again, if you have a

493
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,719
Speaker 3: cable subscription, you have, and it had to enumerate them

494
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 3: as the day went on because everybody was mad. Is

495
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: it more expensive if you have to buy Yeah, it's

496
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 3: twenty nine bucks for what ESPN is putting out. But

497
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 3: if you already have ESPN as part of your cable package,

498
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 3: you're gonna be okay. It's going to be okay.

499
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: Then now the Peacock subscription depending on what you had,

500
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: what is it eleven bucks a month or seventeen bucks

501
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: a month or whatever, And you've got the archives of

502
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: the WWE so fans you know, wanting to go back

503
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: and watch the Mega Powers. You're still gonna have to

504
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: keep your Peacock subscription. You're not gonna be able to

505
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: get rid of it. But it's like all of it.

506
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: It evolves, and again you don't want to pay for it.

507
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 3: Make a choice with your wallet. Nobody's forcing you and

508
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 3: holding you over a barrel. It's like when people go

509
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 3: to a theme park or whatever else. It's so expensive,

510
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: Like you do that going in and yes, now you

511
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 3: have to learn the new place on your cable system

512
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 3: or download a different app. You're going to get a code.

513
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: Does it mean that eventually they're not going to go

514
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 3: into your pocket deeper? No, that's exactly what it means.

515
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 3: Just right, You're not easy.

516
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter because no matter what the truth is,

517
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: fans don't want ESPN to have ww they don't want

518
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: ESPN to have the NFL, they don't want the worldwide

519
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: leader in sport. It almost makes me feel bad for

520
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: them again, like the Yankees. I almost felt bad for

521
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,239
Speaker 1: the Yankees the last three nights. I almost feel bad

522
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: for them. But you're ready for it to get worse

523
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: for ESPN. I mean, because this is this is of

524
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,360
Speaker 1: all the things that happen this today is what blew

525
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: me away. Now, this announcement goes on and we don't

526
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: talk about other people on other networks, the actual personalities,

527
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: but me being there in the nineties in production and

528
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: then being there for most of the two thousands hosting

529
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: All Night. I still am stunt. I know it's a

530
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: different world right now, but to see Pat McAfee part

531
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: of the part of WWE, right, part of everything, like

532
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: he and he and Stephen A. Smith are ESPN's biggest stars.

533
00:25:59,240 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 6: Right.

534
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: The fact that Pat McAfee can, unprompted go on Twitter, right,

535
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: not that he's in the middle of a war with

536
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: somebody or you know, when it was a year ago

537
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: with Norby Williamson who I remember working for Norby back

538
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: in the nineties. Whereas all this guy's trying to sabotage

539
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: my show. Okay, they have beef, but he decided to

540
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: celebrate this thing, to go on social media and say, hey,

541
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: great to see these two powerhouses of sports and entertainment

542
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: come together. Then he says, quote, I assume all the

543
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: mid level powerless bum a suits at ESPN will attempt

544
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: to muddy this somehow, out of context, leaks, ignorant, anonymous opinions,

545
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: et cetera. But in the end, this agreement will outlive

546
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: the dinosaurs currently guarding desks in Bristol. And he gets

547
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: away with it, like he gets it. He can say

548
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: this about ESPN within the company, not somebody who's a

549
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 1: disgruntled employee that left. Let me tell you about how

550
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: bad what they tried to do to me at ESPN.

551
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: This is their second biggest starts at any any event,

552
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: their second biggest star. Who decides, unprompted, I'm gonna torch

553
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: the company that I work for And okay, like really,

554
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: I mean ESPN. You'll know if tomorrow there's no sort

555
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: of disciplinary action for Pat mcafefe for just taking on

556
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: ESPN with this, you will know that they are absolutely

557
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: toothless and and and they are just they're just lost.

558
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: Like I can't believe that we're talking about the status

559
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: of ESPN going from the company that embraced sports fans

560
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: that for the longest time were underserved, and they'll look

561
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: at ESPN. They do things so great, and they do

562
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: everything so awesome. And everybody that I knew growing up

563
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: wanted to work at ESPN. I wanted to work at ESPN.

564
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: Then they became the Evil Empire. But so boy, they

565
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: have everything, but what are you gonna do? We get

566
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: great college football, college basketball, NFL now here we are

567
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: where it is completely different and not only are the

568
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: fans upset with what with what they see going on

569
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: with ESPN? Again, you have the second biggest star, unprompted,

570
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: not involved in a war with anybody, not just saying

571
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: just saying, powerless bum ass suits. The agreement will outlive

572
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: the dinosaurs. Like wow, man, I can't believe he said

573
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: that two things.

574
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 3: Change is inevitable, Change is hard, right, So if you

575
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 3: got used to where you were consuming your product and

576
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 3: then it goes to ESPN, which is not the same

577
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 3: ESPN you and I grew up with, by any by

578
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 3: any rational person's just watching what it's become.

579
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 4: Right.

580
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 3: It was Sports Center, it was Sports Reporters, It was

581
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 3: a couple shows like that, and then you had live events.

582
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: That was it, and then it became more personality, more debate,

583
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: more whatever. The radio shows moving in now with Pat mcavee,

584
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: we haven't had an outward battle. He's been on and

585
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 3: off WWE for some period.

586
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: Now.

587
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 3: You can always use the hey, I got a young

588
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 3: family at home and all of that. I don't doubt

589
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: for a minute. There haven't been a bunch of battles

590
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 3: about his involvement with the WWE and taking time away

591
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 3: and whether it was affecting his product with ESPN by

592
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 3: some of these nameless middle managers. So the fact that

593
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 3: this deal now got signed, he's taken the baseball bat out.

594
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 3: I mean that he's going to town as if he's

595
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 3: Robert de Niro.

596
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: This team, how how it got worse for ESPN? Two

597
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: big announcements and all all it does is just it's

598
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: it's boom, you got a one point six billion dollar deal.

599
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: But it's like this is bad. Body blow body blow,

600
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: And I'd be really and and and and really to

601
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: have the thing is to have McAfee say this on

602
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: a day in which is a big celebration day, and yes,

603
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm happy for that, but all these bum ass suits,

604
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: all these diners, is all these bad people. It's almost

605
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: like he's like at w W villain, like I'm gonna

606
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna criticize it, but it's not part of a

607
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: script because you know that's how we feel well, but

608
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: owning it.

609
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 3: To the fact that there might have been things in

610
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 3: the works for a long time that got buddied up,

611
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 3: and that's exactly who he's calling out. It's like it

612
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 3: got done in spite of you. And now he's doing

613
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 3: a victory.

614
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't think people are trying

615
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,960

752
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 3: can shift him there. Uh, but we are going to

00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: an unbelievable story because you think about this, But I

771
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: swear to you, if you said to me, have we

772
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: had female umpires in Major League Baseball? I would have said, yeah, right,

773
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: because I would have said, yeah, we had, like we

774
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: we broke through that, right, that we broke through that,

775
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: that we broke through the glass ceiling, right, and we've

776
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: had it because we've seen it happen in the NFL,

777
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: We've seen it in college football, we've seen it in

778
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: the NBA. I would say, for sure, yeah, we've seen

779
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: it before in Major League Baseball at some point, but

780
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: we haven't. And I started thinking about that, and I

781
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: said to myself today, you know, I think that's actually

782
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: a really cool thing that I thought. I'm sure a

783
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: lot of people felt the same way that, Yeah, I

784
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: would have thought, for sure, yeah we had somebody, don't

785
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: somebody else do games here?

786
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 6: Do we have this?

787
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: Did we have this? Do we have this? Like we

788
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: would have had that at some point, uh in Major

789
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: League Baseball and and okay, so it didn't seem like

790
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: it was that big a deal until you think about it, go,

791
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: oh no, no, this is okay, this is gonna be

792
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: the first one.

793
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, we haven't had it in ice hockey yet,

794
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 3: but it goes to Jen Walter right in coaching in

795
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 3: the National Football League and a number of women that

796
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 3: have coached that you bridge that again, I would have

797
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 3: thought we would have had a female umpire. Now she's

798
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 3: been in the minor leagues about a decade on was

799
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 3: high ranked official in the fast pitch leagues before that.

800
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, long time coming and getting her shot this weekend.

801
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 3: So but to your point, yeah, I would have thought

802
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 3: we broke that a long time ago.

803
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

804
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: Really, I said, oh, okay, this is the first thing,

805
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: because when I saw the headlines, say, I'm like, oh,

806
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool first one since no first what wait?

807
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: Wait what? Wait what? And really I sat back for

808
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 1: a few minutes and actually said to my wife, he said, Okay,

809
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: if I said this to you, I said, have we

810
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: had we've had an umpire. If I asked you if

811
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 1: we had a female major league umpires before, she would

812
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: say yeah. I think the average person thinks that this

813
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: was already broken through, and it's great that it's being

814
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: broken through. But I also, I really I think it's

815
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 1: great thing that when you think, oh, we've we've already

816
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: had this happen right, Like, it's not it's not a

817
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: headline anymore, that that we think this is that big

818
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 1: a deal and it is great and it's awesome for

819
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: the sport and it's all the way around. But just

820
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: the fact that I would say we would have had

821
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: it by now, all right, I think that's pretty cool.

822
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 3: You can get to that next level. And it's Welter

823
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 3: Walter's a coach in college. So but either way, boyd,

824
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 3: being that you know, we we've broken that barrier a

825
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 3: number of times.

826
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:26,919
