11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. I want to talk about it. There's

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: some recent comments by Stephen A. Smith. I want to

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: have a real discussion about something he said in regards

14
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: to less work next year in the NBA. But before

15
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: we get to that, I want to start with this.

16
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: So Avery Johnson or can I? Can I try? I

17
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: don't do a great Avery Johnson? Does anybody do a

18
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: good Avery Johnson? Jay Stu, can you do one? What

19
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: about you? Buyer? Can you guys do an Avery Johnson?

20
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: I'm not a big guy, an impressions guy. The only

21
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: impression I do is a bane from Batman.

22
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: That's it.

23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 4: Cedric the entertainer, I think does the Avery Johnson the best.

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: Yes, uh, he says, man, man, give me give me

25
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: Cooper flag. Cooper flag on this team. Yeah, give me

26
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: Cooper flag. This team is gonna be tremendous once Kyrie

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: Irving gets healthy. So essentially he's saying, I'd rather have

28
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: Cooper flag than Luca. Now, I do think the team's

29
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: gonna be really good, we think. Remember not the first

30
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: knee injury, knee surgery for uh, for Kyrie Irving. Kyrie

31
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: Irving is not a spring chicken. Actually, you know what,

32
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: I don't know Kyrie Irving's age, but I'm gonna guess here.

33
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess Kyrie Irving is thirty four. Hey, Sam,

34
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: can you use that machine at Google machine and see

35
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: if I'm right. I'm gonna go with thirty four.

36
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: You're close.

37
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Think what is he?

38
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: He's thirty three?

39
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: And what's his birthday?

40
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 2: March twenty third, nineteen ninety two.

41
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, So remember he's had he had a big

42
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: toe injury when he was in college and when he

43
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: was in Cleveland. Do you guys remember there was once

44
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: a graphic on all of the injuries that he's had, Like, damn,

45
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: that dude's had a lot, and then he broke the

46
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: patella on his knee in the NBA Finals, and then

47
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: when he broke the battella, he had a he had

48
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: mesh put in to help it, you know, so it it,

49
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: it healed, but then the mesh was irritating him and

50
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 1: that's why he had and he had actually screws put

51
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: in his knee, and the screws he had like a

52
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: dead bone in the knee and they had to take

53
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: out the screws kind of emergency wise. He's had a

54
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: bunch of surgeries. So again, if you do fantasy basketball

55
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, Kyrie's this and this is this

56
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: and this is that, and you're like, yeah, sort of,

57
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: but we have no idea if he'll come back. And

58
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: Kyrie's not a point guard. So I still think they

59
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: need a point guard. Regardless of which we have done

60
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: this thing where we're like, hey, Luca's really really really

61
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: really really really really really really good, really really good.

62
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: I also think it's the whole This whole week has

63
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: been fascinating because it's like Lebron admitting is not a

64
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: top five to ten, maybe even fifteen player. No one's

65
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: taken a minute or maybe No one believes that Luca

66
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: will play defense or get into shape, even though the

67
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: videos appear to tell us once again, Luca's got his

68
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: summer slim on and now you got a ree Johnson

69
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: trying to commit it, trying to convince us that the

70
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: Mavericks will be better with Cooper Flag than they would

71
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: if they had Luka doncik. I don't know. I think

72
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: Luca's pretty book good boys, even when he's husky and

73
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: out of shape and doesn't play defense. That husky out

74
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: of shape Luca took a team to the NBA finals

75
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: for For forty years, Tyrek has been helping customers find

76
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive.

77
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: Ship fast and free and back by free road has

78
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: protection with convenient insallation options like mobile tire installation. Tyrek

79
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: dot Com the way tire buying should be buyer. Do

80
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: you see where steven A's like can't wait for inside

81
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: the NBA so he can work less NBA games.

82
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: I did not see that.

83
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: No, yeah, I thought that was interesting. Yet the the

84
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: steven asation of every sport since the new contract has

85
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: been a lot. I think the mistake is this, this

86
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: is this is my belief. I'm gonna give away what

87
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: I would do if I had steven A on our

88
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: roster at Fox, at Fox Sports, or if I was

89
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: in charge of the ESPN or whatever. And this is

90
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: actually my idea. When they had Skip Bayless and Shannon

91
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: and that show is getting ground, I would put steven

92
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: A on a debate set after any of my sporting events.

93
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,119
Speaker 1: Just pop it up, get the topics and go get

94
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: It's not my jam. I don't I find holes in

95
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: these arguments. I find some of the topics to be

96
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: sort of laughable. You know, it's obviously over the top,

97
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 1: But like, what does he do best? What he does

98
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: best is debate, right, That's what he does best. And

99
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: if that's what he does best, why are we putting

100
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: him in all these other situations where he's not nearly

101
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: is good. He's just not and there has to be

102
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: a likability factory doesn't have it. Now. The issue is, Okay,

103
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: who do you have to debate him? My thing would

104
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: be like, okay, put somebody who's in the sport. You know,

105
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: if it's the Orlabsky's of the world, the Damian Wood

106
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: is the world after Monday night football, give you your

107
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: Steven a debate thing instead of putting him on the

108
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: set where it doesn't really work. Do you like the

109
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: idea buyer?

110
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's fine.

111
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 4: Honestly, Like I don't necessarily care on what they do.

112
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 4: I just I do think that it's over usage. I

113
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 4: just don't think anybody is necessarily equipped to talk about

114
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: every single topic about everything. But I can get the

115
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 4: usage during the NBA season. But I think you got

116
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: to pick one or the other. You're either going to

117
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 4: use him as an NBA guy and he's going to

118
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 4: be your NBA guy on set and talk about NBA,

119
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 4: or you're just going to have Hi be first take

120
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 4: guy and talk about all these different topics. And so

121
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 4: that's where that's where I just I mean, I don't

122
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 4: I like stephen A. I mean, just as I've said

123
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 4: personally here, when he was here, he was great. He's

124
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 4: great to me at least, So I don't I don't

125
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 4: get up in arms in over this stuff.

126
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: I it's just not my jam. I'm gonna be honest.

127
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: JAYU is Rome in the Radio Hall of Fame. He

128
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: is yep, okay, because I saw where Cowherd is. He

129
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: got getting inducted in this year's class, right, yes, yeah,

137
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,760

Speaker 3: Good question?

144
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,600

00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 2: There is the Radio Hall of Fame? Is there one?

158
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 4: Or is it just kind of this state of mind thing,

159
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 4: like is there an actual like like brick and mortar

160
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 4: Radio Hall of Fame building or is it decentralized.

161
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with New York City, do we know?

162
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 3: I mean, the Museum of Broadcast Communications is what I'm

163
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 3: looking at, and it looks like it's coming in October.

164
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: So I guess there is not a physical place yet to.

165
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: Chicago, Chicago.

166
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: What is the tie to Chicago with the radio Fame Again,

167
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering here, Like Bowling Hall of Fame is in?

168
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: Is that in Indianapolis?

169
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 4: I remember correctly the Bowling Hall of Fame was in

170
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 4: Saint Louis at one point. Yes, But I don't know

171
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 4: if there's right Hall of Fame too, just so aware.

172
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 4: I thought there it was right across the street from

173
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 4: the Old Bush Stadium, but I think it moved.

174
00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: Hmmm. I do wonder who's in the bowling Hall of

175
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: Fame or the Radio Hall of Fame, right, And and

176
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: there's no sports radio Hall of Fame.

177
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: Arlington, Texas is a bowling Hall of Fame.

178
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: And why Lewis, why why?

179
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know.

180
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 4: I literally found out five seconds ago it's in Arlington,

181
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 4: So why it moved? I mean, this is this is

182
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 4: an amazing ask of you, Doug.

183
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: I mean again, I don't know. I'm not fashioned by this,

184
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: but like somebody's got to know, Like, because when you

185
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: think of bowling, you do think of the Midwest, right,

186
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: People in the Midwest bowl sure, right? I mean, Jason,

187
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: when was the last time you went bowling?

188
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, six months ago. I look bowling.

189
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: I I'm like a I'm like a game and a

190
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: half guy. Right halfway through my first game, I get

191
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: warmed up and I'm decent, and then the start of

192
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: the second game like now I kind of got a plan,

193
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: and then I start to suck again, and then by

194
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: in the sad game, then somebody always goes like, let's

195
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: play another game, like eh, and I'll just not even

196
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: finish the third game I just won't. I'm off to

197
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: something else. So if there's a way which you could

198
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: get like my sixth frame to the sixteenth or seventeenth frame,

199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: and that could be my game of bowling, I'd be

200
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: pretty good.

Speaker 4: Iowa Sam, especially for what donald went down in the

225

226
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: Jason Stewart can attest to.

237
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 4: Chris Purfett and Ryan Smith. And there would be like

238
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 4: it would be like the clean omission, like where it

239
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 4: would purposely like I would you would think like, Okay,

240
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: I'm next, and then I would just go like right

241
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 4: around it.

242
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,439

00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: Sam honest question. Can you just give me the topic

00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: Oh, just technical stuff, honestly technical stuff. I'm going to

246
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: leave it up to Jason Stewart. Can can we say

247
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,200

Speaker 1: Come on, let you behind the curtain.

249
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the we're very concerned about the sound

250
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: of the show, all three of us, and when the

251
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 3: when the show doesn't sound right and there's something that

252
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: happens on a regulars that the show sounds a little worse,

253
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: then we try to nip it in the butt, you know.

254
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 3: And uh, tempers flared, and but it always has to

255
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 3: do I don't call any tempers. It always has to

256
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 3: do with you.

257
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: Dog.

258
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:13,960

260
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. But okay, sounds good. Hey, Sam's like,

261
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: you should share what your day was like, all right,

262
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: because when I sat down and I put on the

263
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: headphones today.

264
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: You had a long morning when you did that?

265
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: No, I had I had a long morning. Yes, I

266
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: had like four meetings. I was told that I had

267
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: a meeting at seven this morning, only to be told

268
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: by somebody. I asked, repeatedly, are you sure we're doing

269
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: a meeting at seven in the morning. Yes, so I'm

270
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: up at five, I work out, I get coffee, I'm ready.

271
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: I popped my laptop. Nobody's in the zoom session, and

272
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's weird. I was told repeatedly seven. I'm like, ah,

273
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: we got the time zone wrong. Right. Then I had

274
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: like three other meetings. They all dragged me down, like dude,

275
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: I I just I just want to be able to

276
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: do my I hate me, you know, I don't like meetings.

277
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: And then some of them my own meetings, and then

278
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: I anyway, you had to get to where you're just like,

279
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: I can't meet with anybody ever. And then there's meetings

280
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: that I want to have but I'm irritated by previous meetings.

281
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: And then now I got to lock in and do

282
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: sports radio. So this is more of a me pout

283
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: session more than anything. But I was completely prepared for

284
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: my day, only I was told time zones that didn't

285
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: actually fit, even though I repeatedly asked like, are we sure?

286
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: Yes, Look, you got you out of bed, got you

287
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: up and going.

288
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: I get out of bed anyway, no problem, early riser,

289
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: I was in my sleep number.

290
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: I was So the meeting was actually at nine am,

291
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: like it was okay.

292
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, yes, but it was also something that

293
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: I had to prepare for, so like I made sure

294
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: like all right, five, get up, work out, coffee, make

295
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: sure you open the laptop so you know what you've

296
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: talked to, you know who you've who you've called, all

297
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: these other things, and then you know. Then it's one

298
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: of those things that when you have and again full

299
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: disclosure of letting everybody in, I'm not I do the

300
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: performance stuff. I don't do the planning stuff particularly well.

301
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: Now I have people that plan stuff for me. So

302
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: I have my day, all right, seven to eight, I'm

303
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: doing this, eight to eight thirty, I'm doing that, eight

304
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: thirty nine doing that, nine, I'm doing that. And then

305
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: when something gets doubled up, now I'm screwed and I

306
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: look like I'm the bad guy who double book meetings

307
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: when the reality is to people who plan the meetings,

308
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: didn't understand the time, zon't change. That's it. So yeah,

309
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: I had a day. But just like Dan, Dan, you

310
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: and Sam say no so nice about each other, Like

311
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,880

Speaker 1: Stug Gottlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. Ryan Hollins joins us

317
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: here on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Ryan, of course knowing

318
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: is part of our family at Fox Sports Radio, Fox

319
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: Sports Radio NBA analyst, but it's also the lead analyst

320
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: for the Houston Rockets TV network. So Ryan, there's a

321
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: lot of teams to talk about. Everyone's talking about the Rockets.

322
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: What do you think of what they've done?

323
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 5: You got to be a static at the moves that

324
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 5: have been made. And you know, sometimes you can just

325
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 5: spend money to spend money, but I feel like every

326
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 5: need was essentially met. And you know, the Rockets were

327
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 5: hitting a problem and I wouldn't say it's necessarily a problem.

328
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 5: It's a good problem to have, but there was like

329
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 5: too much young talent, and the question was, al is

330
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 5: all this going to work? And I firmly believe that

331
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 5: when you do things the right way, it ends up

332
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 5: paying off. And now you know, Houston is a co

333
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 5: location where it looks like guys want to come and play,

334
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 5: they want to be a part of what's going on.

335
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 5: And that's why they've hit these home runs in free agency.

336
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, so

337
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: paint the picture for me of what they look like

338
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: taking the floor next year from your perspective, you know

339
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: this game, you know, I mean, obviously we know they're

340
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: gonna throw Kadi out there, right what's that line up

341
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: look like?

342
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 5: I think, you know, and this is from my mindset

343
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 5: what I've seen. I haven't spoken with the coaching staff

344
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 5: or anything from it, but I think the fill is

345
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 5: to stick with EM's mentality and the culture that he's

346
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 5: built of hardenills, defense, commitment on both sides of the ball,

347
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 5: and then you add in the scoring of Kevin Durant

348
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 5: and then you know, you try to keep it going

349
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 5: as best as possible. And the one position that was

350
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 5: that was that was really missing for some time, and

351
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 5: Houston was a shot blocker, and you get that in

352
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 5: Clint Capella. So that's goal right there, and you get

353
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 5: to compliment out friend Shan Goon. And as good as

354
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 5: Steven Adams was during the season, Stephen didn't didn't play much,

355
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 5: you know, he played about every other day. So now

356
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 5: you get an opportunity to say, well, Steven Adams is

357
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 5: not playing, there's not going to be this severe drop

358
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 5: off to the ball club. And that's something that you

359
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 5: saw a lot of. So hopefully the offense matures along

360
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 5: with the defense that was far ahead of pace in

361
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 5: the offensive rebounds. But I think he may is going

362
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 5: to look to maintain, you know, the nuts and bolts

363
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 5: of what he built and while the group was number

364
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 5: two in the Western Conference this season.

365
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: We haven't talked since Rich Paul had his statement about

366
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: Lebron's future with the Lakers. He covered the league, but

367
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: he also played in the league with Lebron. Most everybody

368
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: in the past quarter century has played obviously in the

369
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: league with Lebron. What's your take on the Lebron and

370
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: Lakers situation.

371
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 5: I think this is just from my mindset and what

372
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 5: I've seen, and we can assume. I think there's new

373
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 5: ownership coming in town. I think maybe there's questions about where,

374
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 5: you know, Lebron stands with him and I think for himself,

375
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 5: he's each on the gauge where.

376
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 6: His value is now.

377
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 5: The intriguing thing, Doug is I don't realistically see a

378
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 5: spot or a team where he can go with the

379
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 5: money that he is making. So I don't know how

380
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 5: that would necessarily play out. That not that Lebron is

381
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 5: not playing at a high level. Stiller can bring a

382
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 5: lot of value to an organization, but what sense would

383
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 5: that make at that number? And then again for an organization,

384
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 5: you're saying, well, how long how much longer does he have?

385
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 5: He's played longer than any of us could have could

386
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 5: have dreamed or you know, even imagined, you know, and

387
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 5: Lebron's amazing in itself. So I think it's extremely intriguing.

388
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 5: And then you look at the addition and people have

389
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 5: thrown this out of Luka Dacics and just saying, well,

390
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 5: what does that mean for Lebron James at the end

391
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 5: of the day. So I think, I don't know a

392
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 5: scenario where he gets moved or he gets traded and

393
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 5: how that would ultimately play out. But at the end

394
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 5: of the day, I think what it says is just

395
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 5: there's uncertainty with his new ownership staff and Lebron and

396
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 5: Ridge Fallen Company are trying to see where they stand.

397
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: Stug Gottlip Show here on Fox Sports Radio. That's the

398
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: voice of Ryan Hollins. Why is is Jannis really upset

399
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: that they bought out Damian Lillard.

400
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 5: I think maybe things hadn't been run by him, or

401
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 5: maybe this is a spoke spreen that says that they

402
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 5: were and he hated it and he wants to stay

403
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 5: out of it, you know, obviously, you know, I think

404
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 5: as much as it's a business, Giannie is old school

405
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 5: and he has a high level of respect for guys

406
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 5: like Lillard and just the integrity behind the game. A

407
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 5: lot large reason why he's still a Milwaukee Buck at

408
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 5: the end of the day. Is he upset. I don't know.

409
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 5: I'm spoken to his people if not, but I think

410
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 5: it's just the integrity that he has of wanting to

411
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 5: step out and do things the right way and just man, Doug,

412
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm crazy. It's just a wacky

413
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 5: time in the NBA. Like like you have one of

414
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 5: the younger teams that's ever won the championship, Lebron James,

415
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 5: still playing at a high level. He's talking about being traded.

416
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 5: This is like two decades worth of basketball that we're seeing.

417
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 5: And then Damian Lillard, a megastar, gets hurt, and that

418
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 5: just gets hurt. He gets spot out of one hundred

419
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 5: and twenty two million dollars. This is just an intriguing

420
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 5: time and I think we're stepping into just different waters

421
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 5: from NBA basketball all the way around. It's I think

422
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 5: everybody's trying to figure out what the next landscape of

423
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 5: the league is going to look like. And I think

424
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 5: we loves like this show us because as good as

425
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 5: Indiana was, Miles Turner moves on to Milwaukee, and I

426
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 5: think that that puts Milwaukee in their front court with

427
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 5: Bobby Portis right in the thick of things with everybody.

428
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean also, I mean I think you Milwaukee,

429
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: India and Boston, you know, they're just like, hey, we're

430
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: not going to have these guys next year, so we

431
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: got to kind of we got to move on from them.

432
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: The one part that I would push back on, do

433
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: I think Lebron's playing at a high level, Yeah, but

434
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: if he's really a top fifteen player still and we

435
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: have Luca and we both would agree lucas a top fifteen,

436
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: top ten, maybe top five player, Like the I want

437
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: to win a championship, but I can't win a championship

438
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: in LA, Well, then you must not be a top

439
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: fifteen player anymore, which again is Okay, you're forty years old,

440
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: but that's really what that's an admittance of.

441
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 5: You know, I'm one of the bigger Lebron apologiests and

442
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 5: as just telling you that, you know, Lebron wants his

443
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 5: cake and wants to eat it too. You know. You know,

444
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 5: it's tough because he's on the court and the alpha

445
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 5: in him wants to say, give me the ball, let

446
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 5: me take over. I'm going to get the best shot

447
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 5: we can get. And then he gets to a point

448
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 5: where he can say, well, hey, I need help, you know, And.

449
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,239
Speaker 7: That's kind of and the frustrations with Lebron at this

450
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 7: at the same time, you know, so I think again,

451
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 7: it's a unique situation, and you would think that with

452
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 7: Luka Doncics this was the ideal situation and JJ Redick.

453
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 5: As a coach and all things going on over there.

454
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 5: And we can't deny the power of the influence that

455
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 5: Lebron has with the Lakers at the end of the day.

456
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 5: But you know, you got to say, is this necessarily

457
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 5: a power play? What's this look like if ownership is

458
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 5: going to step in, are they going to be as

459
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 5: inviting to Bronnie James' development? You know, where's their mindset?

460
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 5: And as much as you like to say, it's not

461
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 5: a part of it. Lebron is a whole, mega entity

462
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 5: in itself, and that is a part. And as good

463
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 5: as he is, You're right, Doug, he is asking for help.

464
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really interesting. There's talk of the Mavericks using

465
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,439
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag as a point guard as they wait for

466
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving to return. But when Kyrie does come back,

467
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: and again he's thirty three, he'll be thirty four in March.

468
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: He's had a lot of operations. What do you think

469
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: of the makeup of the Mavericks more on paper obviously,

470
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: because we got to see it play out in person.

471
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: We got to see what Kyrie's like coming off another big,

472
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: big injury. What's your thoughts of the of the Mavericks

473
00:24:59,119 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: on paper?

474
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,719
Speaker 5: Man, I had said this, and I've even contacted you know,

475
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 5: some of Dallas has said. Actually played them the first

476
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 5: game where Anthony Davis got hurt, and for half a basketball, Doug,

477
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 5: they were stifling, like we could barely get the ball

478
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 5: and our group could barely get the ball across half court.

479
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 5: And we had held our own pound for pound with

480
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 5: the league. But when Anthony Davis is playing at a

481
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 5: high level. It was, It's impressive, and there's some things

482
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 5: being built over there in Dallas. I think the big

483
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 5: challenge with the Luca trade, you know, and we've talked

484
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 5: about it to exhaustion, is that you just didn't get

485
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 5: a pick back for it. But you know, if Anthony Davis,

486
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 5: and this is a big if, if he's healthy, they're

487
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 5: pound for pound with with anybody over there, and I

488
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 5: think they're doing things the right way as expected. With

489
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 5: Cooper Flag and his unique skill set, They're going to

490
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 5: exhaust his development and that means putting him in very

491
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 5: unique situations. Now Ultimately, is he going to be a

492
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 5: primary ball handler? I don't know what that's best for

493
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 5: Cooper Flag. I think he's best off the ball as

494
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 5: a slasher and putter and energy guy and spacer and

495
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 5: that's why you like his skill set. But they're going

496
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 5: to exhaust seeing what he can become and what they

497
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 5: can build around with him over there. But I tell

498
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 5: you defensively, Man, that they can get after you, dude.

499
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 5: They cover ground and that's built around Anthony Davis.

500
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: Awesome stuff, Ryan Man, Thank you so much for joining us.

00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 4: I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behavior.

00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 2: I engagement, but.

523
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,919

524
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 4: Anyway, yeahug, another year has gone by where I will

525
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 4: not be at the All England Club checking out some

526
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 4: action of Wimbledon. Been fortunate enough in my broadcasting career

527
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 4: to see a lot of cool events, But the one

528
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 4: event that I want to see the most that I

529
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: haven't seen is Wimbledon. I don't need to see a

530
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 4: woman and final. I don't need to see a round

531
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 4: of sixteen Monday. I just want to go there at

532
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 4: the All England Club, maybe see a match at Center

533
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 4: Court so I can see the Royal Box. But Wimbledon

534
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 4: has begun again. I will not be in attendance for

535
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 4: the event at the All England Club in twenty twenty five.

536
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 4: Another year gone by. Not check that box off of

537
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 4: my bucket list.

538
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: Quite peace, Quite peace. Thank you.

539
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 4: Think it's something we can all relate to in a

540
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 4: sporting event that you would like to see and like

541
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 4: to go to.

542
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 3: It's the one thing. It's a one sporting event I

543
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: did go to overseas. I've never been overseas until my

544
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: employer sent me there to cover Wimbledon. I was there

545
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 3: for three or four days. On the fourth day I

546
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 3: played hooky and it was it had been sunny for

547
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: three days, and the London that I had always grown

548
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 3: up knowing was foggy, rainy and dreary.

549
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: And how do you know it if you've never been there, because.

550
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 3: I'd read about it, right, Okay, It's been written about

551
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 3: a lot a lot of movies.

552
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: And and the fog it's actually a drake.

553
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 3: It's been the subject of many of my favorite band songs.

554
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 3: How many times have I have I heard morris You

555
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 3: talk about depressing rainy days in London, and I've always

556
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: said I want to do that. So on a fourth

557
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 3: day it was rainy and foggy, and I just went

558
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 3: outside and listened to the Smiths and walked around London.

559
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: What was What was Wimbledon? Like? I mean you getta

560
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: like kind of burying the lead?

561
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Wimbledon was Okay, it wasn't great, But.

562
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: The rain and the depression and the fog.

563
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 4: Were you in a better mood after sulking and listening

564
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 4: to the Smiths and Morrissey?

565
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 3: Much better mood?

566
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

567
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 3: That's my that's my jam.

568
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 2: Hey.

569
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 4: Whenever, whenever, whenever I would drive into Indiana and cross

570
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 4: the state line, you know, just out of Chicago, drive in,

571
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 4: would always put on John Mellencamp, Cougar Mellencamp, throw on

572
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 4: some pink houses, rain on the Scarecrow, all of the

573
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 4: great hits. Because you're in Indiana, what is.

574
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: What is the music which signifies Wisconsin. Don't do roll

575
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: out the barrel, don't do roll out the barrel. Don't

576
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: do that.

577
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 3: Maybe the boat band that opened for that comedian that.

578
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: One time, that is Buyers.

579
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 4: I was hoping to get a little more juice out

580
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 4: of it. Sam, Is there a there an event that

581

Speaker 2: I don't know.

585
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 8: Maybe maybe a road Iowa football game at Penn State. Like, no,

586
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 8: I've never been to Beaver Stadium. Sure go there, absolutely.

587
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 8: I've never been to the Horseshoe. Yeah, never been to

588
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 8: the Horseshoe. Never been in the Big House.

589
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: It's not like a race like you don't want to

590
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 2: go to like Indy five hundred or.

591
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: You can't talk him into it. He doesn't have anything

592
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: in his money, you know.

593
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 9: You know what, though, I do see this and they

594
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 9: do this around the country. Now, those red Bull like

595
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 9: soapbox derbys, or like the the Red Bull sponsored soapbox races,

596
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 9: or they they make those just make contraptions and they

597
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 9: try to fly him off of like a platform over

598
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 9: the water. Those look like absolute fun to be at

599
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 9: the General. Did you guys see the generally jump over

600
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 9: the mountain? It's like every every afternoon of my childhood

601
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 9: right there.

602
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 4: I also think that Sam would probably like the cheese

603
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 4: rolling down the hill. Oh yeah, that happened recently. Yeah,

604
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 4: I catch major air.

605
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 9: I once saw a picture of someone participating that and

606
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 9: they're wearing a University of Northern Iowa shirt, which I

607
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 9: thought was interesting. Maybe they came over from the US.

608
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 9: I don't know, Doug, You've been a lot of places.

609
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 4: What would uh what would you like to to go

610
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 4: to that you haven't been?

611
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: There's honestly, I've been to a lot. As you pointed out,

612
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: I'd really like to go to a big time soccer match,

613
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: you know, not that I don't want to go to

614
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: the World Cup, right. I feel like the World Cup

615
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: is I don't know, it just it feels like it's

616
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: more of a TV event than in person event. Premier League.

617
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 4: Maybe in Spain, Manchester Darby sure Man City against Man

618
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 4: United Man.

619
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, why not. I think I'd like to do that.

620
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: I'd like to do Wimbledon.

621
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 2: That'd be cool, by the way.

622
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 4: My second runner up, because I've never been to a

623
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 4: tennis event, is the Australian.

624
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: Open more than the US Open. You don't want to

625
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: go to.

626
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 4: I would love to go to the US Open as well,

627
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 4: but it's just I think that that's more feasible.

628
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: The Australia one feels like it's so.

629
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 4: Hot, yes, and it's a feels it's around our birthdays, Doug.

630
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 4: It's NFL playoff time, So it's really just I don't

631
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 4: think it's going to happen.

632
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you.

633
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: Want to say it because like, yeah, I always want

634
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: to do it, like it's not gonna happen. Like I know,

635
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure exacting out there. Keep me getting out of

636
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: bed every day.

637
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 4: Like I can figure out a way to maybe make

638
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 4: the US Open work for a night, you know here

639
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 4: coming up at the end of August or at least September,

640
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 4: But Australian Open takes planning.

641
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 3: And out of the box event. Put on your snowshoes,

642
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 3: go up to Alaska and watch the I did Rod, I.

643
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: Did Rud, did Rud? I did Rod? Does feel a

644
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: little bit like a golf tournament, though, where it's like,

645
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: am I going to pick one spot? Am I going

646
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: to follow one guy? If I just finish at the end,

647
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: if I'm just there at the end, does it matter?

648
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: Like there are I don't really get the journey. I

649
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: feel like the only way to do the idit Rod

650
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: is if you're actually on one of those sleds. And

651
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: I have no desire to be on with the sleds.

652
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: Love dogs, love dogs, love dogs.

653
00:33:59,240 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: All right.

654
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: The spier's remorse, Hey, did you guys hear what Sophie

655
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: Cunningham said about the expansion things? And of course it's

656
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: going to be blown completely out of proportion, but what

657
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: she said was and again I do think a portion

658
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: of it she was wrong. When she's like, well, did

659
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: you talk to the actual players where they want to play?

660
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: And like my argument would like, yeah, it doesn't actually

661
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: work that way, and she's like Miami. Everybody likes Miami.

662
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: I will point out Sophie, Miami in the summer is

663
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: kind of miserable. But she said Kansas City, she said Nashville,

664
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: And this is where I think This is where I

665
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,720
Speaker 1: think you can be super creative, you know, super creative.

666
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: They both have big time arenas, right, and both those

667
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: arenas are downtown, and neither of them have NBA teams,

668
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: and so it's a little bit different. And I think

669
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: her point is like, we've done the Detroit thing, We've

670
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: done the Cleveland thing. Why are we doing that again?

671
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: And by the way, in the NBA, right, they went

672
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: back to New Orleans. It still hasn't really worked. They

673
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: went they were in New Orleans before with the Jazz.

674
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: They went back to Charlotte with the Hornets, still not

675
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: really working. They haven't gone back to Kansas City, Kansas City,

676
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: Topeka Royals. Right, Why is the WNBA going back to

677
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 1: those cities?

678
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know either. It's it doesn't make a

679
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 4: lot of sense. And I understand, like Tulsa didn't work out,

680
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 4: so maybe they're not going to go back to Tulsa.

681
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 4: But the Nashville one, to me is there's not going

682
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 4: to be an NBA team in Nashville, like with the

683
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 4: Memphis Grizzlies there, it's just it's not gonna happen. So

684
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 4: it's available to you and in a market that is

685
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 4: just continuingly, Yeah, thriving that would work out. I thought Austin,

686
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 4: Texas was another possibility, like there'd be another spot to

687
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 4: go where a population is booming and to try to

688
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 4: try to get your you know, foot in the door first.

689
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 4: She also I'm sorry, go ahead.

690
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: No, go ahead, no.

691
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 4: She also mixed up Cleveland and Cincinnati. She said, I

692
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 4: don't like, I don't know how many people want to

693
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 4: go to Detroit or Cincinnati, So Cincinnati caught us.

694
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: It's like whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah, but here's the whole thing.

695
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 1: Like Sophie, she's kind of the hottest thing going in

696
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: female sports right now. Right, She's like the pin up girl.

697
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: And it's like, ah, that's Sopha cutting him. It's okay,

698
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: she gets away with it. Somebody else wouldn't get away

699
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: with it, but shug it over with it. Yeah, Cincinnati

700
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: catching astray. That was weird, or Cincinnati wouldn't be a

701
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: terrible idea, right. Cleveland feels like a bad idea. Cincinnati

702
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't feel like a terrible idea, although they don't

703
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: really have a nice new arena that area next to

704
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: the stadiums.

705
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 4: Are And she also did I think points something you said,

706
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 4: dug out and saying like, you know, is it too

707
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 4: much too soon? You know, like now, all of a sudden,

708
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 4: we're to eighteen teams in this in four more years.

709
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 4: You know, how is is that good for the league?

710
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: It's not. It's just Jay Stew's pointed this out. It's like,

711
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: don't go away from home sites with the NCAA tournament

712
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: just because you might be able to sell a couple

713
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: more tickets. Right now it looks terrible. Don't get back
