Speaker 2: jam Pack Shorter night. We've got a great guest at

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: about fifteen minutes. Herrowing story broke this last week in

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 2: the world of sports betting that affects maybe one of

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: your favorite Major league teams will get to that. What

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: does it mean? Of course the midnight hour. In an

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 2: hour from now, from where I sit here in Las Vegas,

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: it'll be twelve midnight literally from where you sit it

16
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: could be twelve twelve midnight literally or figuratively, as we

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 2: will take your calls for an hour. A couple of

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: great topics they'll set up a little bit later that

19
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: are esoteric. You really can't prove them. Should leave to

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 2: great debate on both topics. Who, of course, we'll get

21
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: to Bronni James some hot dog issues and what is

22
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: this thing you keep hearing about a second apron. I

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: will explain that coming up later in the show exactly

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: what it means so you can understand it and have

25
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: a little context. But this past week a pretty spirited

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: one in the world of NBA free agency, and it

27
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: got teed up blat last Saturday nicely when Lebron opted

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: out and then made, you know, the proclamation that he

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: was willing to take less money to perhaps bring in,

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: you know, an additional asset so the Lakers could be,

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: you know, very viable to maybe get back into the

32
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: play and round. That's where they sit these days, whether

33
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: you like it or not. We didn't know who that

34
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: would have been, right, maybe James Hardenaw, Jonas Valanciunis, Tomorto Rodond. Okay,

35
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna get to that in a minute. Because I

36
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: lost my mind for a second and started to give

37
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: Lebron some credit as if he were magnanimous or generous.

38
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: We all know that everything he does is image based

39
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: self gratification and if you don't like hearing that, then

40
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: ain't my problem. So I basically talked about the theory

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: that if we saw a focus Lebron, and he was

42
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: really willing to do that, like he was when he

43
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: went to Miami and won a championship, went back to Cleveland,

44
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: won a championship, et cetera. This might make this upcoming

45
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: season a little bit more interesting, but alas, and as

46
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: is the case, most of the time, what all is

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: said and done, usually more is said than done. Come on,

48
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: Bron and Lebron, don't tell me, show me what you didn't.

49
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear about the labor pains. Show

50
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: me the baby. And I ended up my monologue last

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: Saturday by proclaiming that at the end of the day,

52
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 2: of course Lebron wouldn't come through. Let's give it a listen.

53
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: Lebron is eligible to sign a three year, one hundred

54
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: and sixty two million dollar max contract to return to

55
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: the Lakers because he's not a free agent, but he's

56
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: also eligible to sign with any other team in the

57
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 2: NBA for a maximum one fifty seven to five over

58
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: the next three seasons. Yeah, that's simply not gonna happen. Okay,

59
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: he's going nowhere. The bottom line is this, This is

60
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: all speculation. The Lakers just hired as buddy J. J. Reddick,

61
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: He's got a four year contract. They just drafted Brownie.

62
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: The theory is Lebron might have an extra bounce in

63
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: his step. Now at the end of the day, Well,

64
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 2: all of this really manifests itself in a way. It

65
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: will create the Lakers, create an opportunity where the Lakers

66
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: actually become a more viable contender for an actual championship.

67
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: Do I really think at the end of the day,

68
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: lebron will really take significantly less money to go out

69
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: and find that additional player to bolster the roster to

70
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: support not just him but Anthony Davis. Hell no, it's

71
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: not gonna happen, but it's fun to talk about. Yeah,

72
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: well that's what I said last Saturday night. Two days ago.

73
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: Lebron On signed a two year deal for one hundred

74
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: and four million. It's got a no trade clause and

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: he can opt out after one year. So maybe Bronnie

76
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: gets on the floor, they get to play the father

77
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: son game. Fine, that's all good. I don't mind. Make

78
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 2: it happen, and then when the Lakers either don't make

79
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 2: the playoffs or get knocked out early, which they will

80
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: next spring, maybe lebron can become a mercenary and go

81
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: somewhere else and opt out. I don't know, let's just

82
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: wait and see what happens. But the one name that

83
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: circled that I think Lebron really wanted it. I know

84
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: Michael Thompson really wanted to see come to Los Angeles

85
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 2: was Klay Thompson. And Clay made the correct decision to

86
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: go to Dallas for a thousand reasons. And for the

87
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: folks who imply that Klay Thompson didn't want to come

88
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 2: to the Lakers because you know the taxes in California,

89
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: the hell's wrong with you. He's lived in California for

90
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: the last fourteen years. He knows what the taxes are.

91
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: But Dallas can win now. Dallas is poised to perhaps

92
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: win now. They got to the NBA Finals just this

93
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: last year, in case you missed it, and in the

94
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: NBA Finals, it became unmistakably clear the MAVs needed a

95
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: shot maker besides Luca or Kyrie. Clearly, Josh Green couldn't

96
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: get it done. Tim Hardaway Junior couldn't get it done.

97
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: So the MAVs they decided to go out and acquire

98
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: the second best shooter of all time. Now I get it.

99
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: Klay Thompson isn't nearly who he used to be, nor

100
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: will he ever be that guy that was all NBA status,

101
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: But he can still shoot the heck out of the basketball.

102
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: That's a very important asset in this day and age,

103
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: in this man's NBA. He said, great catch a release shooter,

104
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: and the MAVs are banking on that importance. And they're

105
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: banking on a guy who's been there. He's got four rings.

106
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: And I want to take a minute to give Klay

107
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: Thompson some flowers because there were a lot of headlines

108
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: last week the US men's soccer team looking once again

109
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: like a drunk crossing an icy street, among other storylines.

110
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 2: So the Klay Thompson news leaving Golden State Soda got

111
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: buried a little bit. But frankly, it's a bit of

112
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: NBA history that I think you have to stop and

113
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: pay a monte to. We're talking about half of the

114
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: Splash Brothers. They had real success, not this kind of

115
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: phony Bologney stuff that Paul George thinks he's going to

116
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: do every year. Are we tired of hearing about that?

117
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: Four summers ago? I was going to Oka, see he's

118
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: going to be a difference maker that he's going to

119
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: the Clippers. Here we go, had me fooled, had me fooled?

120
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: Not again. He's going to Philadelphia, And you know the

121
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: only thing that's going to change there is maybe I

122
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 2: lead a cheese steak because Philly won't do anything with

123
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: Paul George either. Booking. It's easy to forget to Klay

124
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 2: Thompson along with Steph Curry. Well, they were actually Warriors,

125
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: teammate Warriors long before they hung a banner. And if

126
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: you go by three pointers made, Kurry and Thompson are

127
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: two of the best six shooters in history. They played

128
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: on the same team thirteen years, four NBA titles, six

129
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: NBA Finals appearances. Did you forget that already? Thompson at

130
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: his peak was absolutely prolific, and I think he feels

131
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: slighted and he's got something to prove. Now, there's more

132
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: to this book too. You can't leave out a chapter.

133
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: He went nine hundred and fourteen days between playing games

134
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: from the twenty nineteen season to the twenty twenty one

135
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: season due to two major leg injuries. Now, if Klay

136
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: Thompson had been injured during that twenty nineteen finals, the

137
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: Warriors might even have five titles, or maybe even six.

138
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: We're never gonna know. But after his return, things just

139
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: weren't the same. The love had gone out of the

140
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: relationships somewhere, discontent simmered eld Golden State. Yes, they won

141
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: the title in twenty twenty two, but they were disagreements

142
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: over injury rehab. And this past season sort of personified

143
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: the Clay problem. He got benched, but then he got

144
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: a starting job back, and then a playoff game against

145
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: Sacramento in which they lost, Clay went ozer for ten

146
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: from the floor. That was his final game as a Warrior.

147
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: That's gonna stick, That's gonna leave the mark. He's thirty

148
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: four years old, but I still think, especially paired next

149
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: to Luca and Kyrie, he has the ability to be

150
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: a quality shooting threat, maybe not to the same level

151
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: he was before. He won't be Pete Clay again. And

152
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: I know the Warriors offered Clay a two year, forty

153
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 2: eight million dollar deal, but that it wasn't It wasn't

154
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: just that I think Clay has something to prove. I

155
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 2: think it's a situation where being the elite peeditor, he

156
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 2: is being a guy who genuinely wants to win. That's

157
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 2: why he went to Dallas. I'm not gonna go so

158
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: far as to say he snubbed Lebron, even though in

159
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: a manner of speaking, he did. If Lebron thought he

160
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: could just wave his magic wands. Dad could talk about

161
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: how cool it is to be at games and have

162
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: stars play for the same team that Kobe once did. Okay,

163
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: Clay wants to win. What he did was a tacit admission.

164
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: And look the Lakers and they and say, you're not

165
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 2: gonna win. You're not gonna win this year, You're not

166
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: gonna win anytime soon. But I'm now really rooting for

167
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks to get it done next year. That

168
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: would be a great story. So, while it was a

169
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 2: very spirited week, James Harden got paid, Patrick Williams goes

170
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: to the Chicago Bulls, Paul George goes to the seventy

171
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 2: six ers, Tyrese Maxi gets a bag, Isaiah Hartnstein, Kentavious Colwell, Pope,

172
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: Obie Toppin, Tobias Harris, Chris, Paul who Knew takes a

173
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 2: one year deal in San Antonio. Russell Westbrook comes back

174
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: to the Clippers. When you add it all up. For me,

175
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: the headline all of this past week and this year's

176
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: NBA free agency season should beginning in with Klay Thompson,

177
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: give the man his flowers. And by the way, the

178
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: book we're talking about, he's got one final chapter to write.

179
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: And wouldn't that be something if Klay Thompson helped Dallas

180
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: win a championship next year? Can it happen? Sure it

181
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 2: can happen. And he knows darn well it would not

182
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 2: have happened in Los Angeles, but it might in Dallas.

183
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: Coming up, John Tay Porter was already having a bad

184
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: hair week, It just got much worse this past week.

185
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: When you talk about gambling schemes, there's probably no better

186
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: guy to bring in than my buddy Dave Sherpan, sportsbook Consigliari,

187
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: many years decades behind the counter and now a professional

188
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: better in Vegas with his own podcast, BOLSTONI in the book.

189
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: Along with Matt Parot, We're going to talk about a

190
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: specific angle here because the public is starting to look

191
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: askance at legalized sports betting, and I think it's time

192
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: to throw some cold water on that. Fear him. Bernie Frowder,

Speaker 2: a veteran oddsmaker, many years behind the counter here of

Speaker 2: Las Vegas Sports Books has his own podcast with Matt

219

220
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: Versus the Book?

221
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 5: Dave, Hello, Bernie, great to hear you. It's the show

222
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 5: is called Bostonian Versus the Book, which you can find

223
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 5: it on the Twitter at the at symbol Boston Versus

224
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 5: the Book, same with the YouTube channel, and that's how

225
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 5: people find it all over the different platforms.

226
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: Sounds good, just like they'll find the Pittsburgh Pirates racing

227
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: toward the top of the Pennery got to talk about

228
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: that for ten seconds before we get going.

229
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 5: Ten seconds is all we get. Well, that's all you need.

230
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 5: Paul Stein's every time he pitches bet the k prop over,

231
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 5: it's seven now eight and two. Okay, books can't make

232
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 5: the number eight and a half. That's a little too high,

233
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 5: and they'll get a dule usion money on the other.

234
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 5: So it's seven and a half. It keeps getting juiced

235
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 5: to the over. They win. They hit. When he pitches

236
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 5: fourteen runs today, that's two touchdowns and all the mets

237
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 5: Co mustard was a safety inconsequential fourteen to two win. Listen,

238
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 5: we're hanging around in the wildcard race. It's July fifth,

239
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 5: and it's fun to talk about pirate baseball every once

240
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 5: in a while.

241
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 2: All I can say is somewhere many saying, Gheen is smiling.

242
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: If you get if you get my drift, all right,

243
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: I just.

244
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 5: Got into the Pirate Hall of Fame. Burn Ye got

245
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 5: into the Pirate Hall of Fame. Very thankful he's alive.

246
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 5: One two got to see it. And yes, he's always smiling.

247
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: That guy was always smiling, always always.

248
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 5: Uh.

249
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: We got to dive into some subject matter that started

250
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: to make a tweet around the water cooler. So now

251
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: I've never asked you this question in fourteen years, and

252
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: so I'm putting myself out there a little bit. But

253
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: I'm taking a shot. All your years behind the counter

254
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: and observing people and NFL sunnis, whatever the case may be,

255
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: did you ever hear And I think I'm gonna know

256
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: the answer. Somebody in the Peanut gallery witness a play

257
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: or an event that went against them, and they scream

258
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: out at the top of their lungs, this thing is fixed.

259
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: Fire it, David, I and Nickel for every time I

260
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 2: heard that Elon Muskuld be bowling my lawn. How many

261
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: times did you hear it?

262
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 5: There were times where they were saying it between where

263
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 5: you were sitting and I was standing in the book,

264
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: and when I went to the back room, we heard

265
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 5: it back there too. I could be the first one

266
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 5: to tell you I don't think it is, but man,

267
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 5: oh man, I don' either.

268
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: I don't either, But that sets a suffer tonight's conversation,

269
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 2: we all observe what happened with John tay Porter. He's

270
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: being banned from the NBA and he's pleading guilty Tuesday.

271
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: Now it's going a step further. He's going to face

272
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: federal felony charges considering the betting scandal that took place,

273
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 2: and as you know, it involved games between January and

274
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: March where there were prop bets on him, and he

275
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: exited both games claiming health problems. So whoever may have

276
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: bet the under on those nights cashed nicely. Where am

277
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: I going with this?

278
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 6: Dave?

279
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: Nobody better than you to give people the real perspective

280
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: in here, and the fact that he was caught in

281
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: the first place shows the checks and bouncers are working.

282
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: I'm in agreement with you. Take it away. Tell the

283
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: folks all the mechanisms in place so that they can

284
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: be sure that what they're seeing is legitimate.

285
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 5: Size and totals really tough. I would even say, you know,

286
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 5: I don't even know what sport you would do it,

287
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 5: But individual player props completely different beasts and that story. Listen,

288
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 5: there was a buzz after the first time, and it

289
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 5: worked so well. And when it works, reed kills everything

290
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 5: in this business. On both sides of the counter. Books,

291
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 5: bad bad, bad, better's bad bad bad syndicates do it.

292
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 5: You know, they build bots to do it. Greed is

293
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 5: the worst. And they went back for a second shot. Now,

294
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 5: this one particular, how a bet was approved, a six

295
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 5: item individual player prop on a guy who plays less

296
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 5: than ten minutes a game in the NBA, all unders

297
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 5: even goes through. I think you have to look at

298
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 5: all of it, because I mean, I've been here in Vegas.

299
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 5: This is year number twenty two for me living here,

300
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 5: and I would have never taken that bet, and no

301
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 5: one that I know would have. They would have allowed it.

302
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 5: But he got away with it the first time. So

303
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 5: I think the second time, the books may have said,

304
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 5: put these through and we'll see who's doing this, and

305
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 5: we'll see if they're working together and will have evidence

306
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 5: to then go at a case if we need to.

307
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 5: And it's there. I mean, I am not surprised. Between

308
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 5: you and I and everyone else listening on Fox Sports Radio.

309
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 5: Thank you again for having me. But it's one of

310
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 5: those things that I'm like, would I have seen this

311
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 5: coming this blatantly, this openly ten years ago? No, I

312
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 5: don't think so. So in that respect, it is working.

313
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 2: Talking with Dave Sherapan sportsbook can sig Austin versus the

314
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 2: book find them on Twitter? So talk about some of

315
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 2: the checks and balances. I mean, I know, I and

316
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: of course there are great organizations I believe out there,

317
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 2: like you know, used integrity of Matt Hold, But talk

318
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 2: about some of the checks and businesses that the sportsbooks

319
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 2: are employed now that they might not have done ten

320
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: years ago.

321
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 5: Dave, Oh, you know, I mean you were there with

322
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 5: me when guys would just bring in bags of cash,

323
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,239
Speaker 5: or they would escort over somebody from the from the

324
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 5: cage and just you know, give you six figures and

325
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 5: chips and say just put this on the pod drase

326
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 5: tonight like, oh okay, it just happened. And now there's

327
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 5: between the KYC, which is short for know your Customer.

328
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 5: There's guidelines, procedures, rules in place for deposits, withdrawals, bets.

329
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 5: You know, everyone has to be idd you have to

330
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 5: know who your customer is before you take the bets.

331
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 5: And now with remote registration in a lot of states

332
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 5: not Nevada, there's ways to follow through, check and balance that.

333
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 5: Then companies like Matt Holtz GEO comply. There's ways to

334
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 5: pinpoint where someone's making a bet, which has led to

335
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 5: some other things that I think the leagues and some

336
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 5: colleges are looking at as well. It's not so much

337
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 5: even what you bet, it's where you bet it. If

338
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 5: you're much a facility writer, you know when you bet it.

339
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 2: Well. Also, to bring that up, Dave, ten years ago,

340
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 2: betting through apps was non existent. But now that you've

341
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: got that electronic footprint and you have to register with

342
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 2: an ID and all kinds of other things makes it

343
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 2: a little bit more difficult to operate in darkness.

344
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 5: Correct, absolutely, I mean there's a game of cat and

345
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 5: mouse just in general with this this everybody's trying to

346
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 5: get to the number and get the best number, and

347
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 5: the books are trying to get there first, betters are

348
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 5: trying to beat them to it. And now there's ways

349
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 5: that you know we're used in the past to I mean,

350
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 5: a big subject right now is bearding. And you know

351
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 5: it's not just growing a beard or not shaving for

352
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 5: a while. That's a very industry wide term where you

353
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 5: know people are using other accounts right that people and

354
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 5: right flipping whales. And there's so many different terms that

355
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 5: I think you know, you never were able to really

356
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 5: talk about unless you were within that business or in

357
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 5: our own echo chamber where we were for a long

358
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 5: long time, just in Nevata and of course the offshore

359
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 5: world as well. But went past the past in twenty eighteen.

360
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 5: It opened up a whole new, you know, set of

361
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 5: places where this was going on. And now it's everywhere,

362
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 5: and I mean it's in the Wall Street Journal, it's

363
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 5: in the Washington Posts, in the New York Times, it's

364
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 5: all over everywhere, and it's growing the growth process. There's

365
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 5: pain in getting there, and it'll eventually get there. Burn

366
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 5: The books have to know the rules, the betters have

367
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 5: to know the rules, and you have to agree to

368
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 5: abide by those rules.

369
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 2: And of course you mentioned PASPA, which you overturned. The

370
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: George Bushes built in nineteen ninety two made sports relegated

371
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: to the states. So they want to legalize betting, and

372
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 2: I believe we're up to thirty two states nowadays that

373
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: have legalized sports betting.

374
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, in some form.

375
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know, legislation.

376
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 5: There's not going to be any in twenty twenty four,

377
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 5: which is for the industry. Everyone's kind of wondering, well,

378
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,719
Speaker 5: what's next, And I'm sure we'll talk about it at

379
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 5: some point, but this I gave thing is real. They

380
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 5: want you to where were you you know, you go

381
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 5: into a casino and you have to gamble on slots

382
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 5: or blackjack, crabs, roulette, whatever it is. The ease and

383
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 5: ability to do it on your phone or on your device.

384
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 5: You know, poker's getting there. I mean the World Series

385
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 5: of Pokers in town this week. There's everyone in town

386
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 5: is playing, but they want you to do it all

387
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 5: on your phone. So that's the next iteration of all

388
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 5: this business, right.

389
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: And of course, I for the folks who don't know

390
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: I gaming isn't basically any kind of online betting that

391
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 2: would wager a future outcome of the game. They're talking

392
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 2: about this being a sixty billion dollar industry at some point. Unreal. Dave,

393
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: just got about a minute. We're three weeks, three weeks

394
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: from Thursday. This coming Thursday, we have the Hall of

00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 2: Fame Game in the NFL. Are you ready for this

396
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: upcoming NFL season? Dave?

397
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 5: How does it just happen so fast? I mean, it's

398
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 5: we're just getting done with the NHL Stanley Cup and

399
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 5: the NBA Finals, and we're deep into the throes of baseball.

400
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 5: We're looking at college football season wins in Hall of

401
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 5: Fame game is coming. I can't believe it's that quick.

402
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 5: It's still one hundred degrees here at night, at almost midnight,

403
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 5: and we're getting ready to talk about football. Chicago Bears heard,

404
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 5: you know as well as anybody. The Detroit Lions are

405
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 5: the real story, Dave.

406
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 2: Dave. They play fourteen Dome games next year, They got

407
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: their offensive coordinator back, they are mad, they're gonna barring injury.

408
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be right there and we'll talk

409
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: about the Bears, and we'll talk about we're gonna get

Speaker 2: you on again before we'll get you out in August,

411
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 2: because I'm seeing some very creative profs to look for.

412
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: I'm hearing that the situation in Denver is so bad.

413
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 2: The under a five and a half looks like it's

414
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: free money, and I'm hearing there it's gonna be a prop.

415
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 2: We'll Denver lose their first five games. We'll talk about

416
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: that coming up in August. David. In the meantime, get

417
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,080

Speaker 9: Plenty of fireworks on the fourth of July.

441
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 8: But the Rockets kept flying in Major League Baseball on Friday.

442
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,360

00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 8: the Pittsburgh Pirates hitting their absolute dismantlement of the New

449
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 8: York Mets, winning at fourteen to two on Friday. The

450
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 8: Pirates hit so many home runs they ran out of

451
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 8: fireworks at PNC Park. Elsewhere in Major League Baseball, the

00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 8: home runs from catcher Will Smith to power by the

455
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 8: Milwaukee Brewers eight to five. Mariners in Blue Jay Seattle

456
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 8: wins at two to one. They hold off the Houston Astros,

457
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 8: who won a shootout match against the Twins thirteen to twelve,

458
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 8: and after being ten games ahead of Houston on June eighteenth,

459
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 8: it's just a two game separation between the Mariners and Astros.

460
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 8: In the American League West, Yankees now on a four

461
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 8: game losing straight. They lose to the Red Sox five

462
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 8: to three in extra innings. White Sox edge the Marlins

463
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 8: three to two. Giants over the Guardians four to two,

464
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 8: Tigers beat the Reds five to four. The Phillies still

465
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 8: the best team in baseball, they're fifty eight to thirty

466
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 8: after an eight six win against the Atlanta Braves. The

467
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 8: Rangers shut out the Rays three nothing. Rockies over the

468
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 8: Royals four to two. The Orioles edge the Athletics three

469
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 8: to two. In the WNBA, Wings over the Dream eighty five,

470
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 8: eighty two, Sparks top the Aces ninety eight to ninety three,

471
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 8: and the Sky get by the Seattle Storm eighty eight

472
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 8: to eighty four. Copa America Venezuela Canada play to a

473
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 8: one to one draw. Canada advances on a four to

474
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 8: three penalty shootout, so they'll face Argentina in the semi finals.

475
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: Back to you, Berney, all right, thanks, chef. Interesting stuff

476
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh by the way. All right, well, Cam Newton

477
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: has a way of keeping his name in the news.

478
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: And he's not one for shyness, of course, And he

479
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 2: appeared on a podcast the other day, podcast called fourth

480
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 2: and one. And at any rate, the bottom line is

481
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 2: Cam Newton became very quotable with the name Dallas Cowboys

482
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: was in voked. And let's set this up because it

483
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 2: all started in nineteen seventy eight in an NFL Films

484
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: feature I Believe, in which the Cowboys were dubbed America's team,

485
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 2: and it stuck. It stuck. They had been to multiple

486
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: Super Bowls, they'd won more than one Super Bowl. They

487
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: were a legendary organization. That's the stadium, Tom Landry, the

488
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 2: Ring of Honor, the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders were a thing,

489
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 2: and on a national basis, the Cowboys became this sort

490
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 2: of iconic model of success. And the beauty of it

491
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 2: is is that, as you've heard me say many times,

492
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 2: the opposite of love is not hat it's indifference. Now,

493
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 2: not everybody loved the Cowboys. But when the subject matter

494
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 2: came up just recent week on multiple modalities and various networks,

495
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: the fact that someone would have to ask if the

496
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 2: Cowboys are still America's team is a tacit admission. They

497
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 2: might be if they're renting that kind of space in

498
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 2: your head. But Cam Newton had a different idea. Let's

499
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: give it a listen. So basically, I'll tell you what

500
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: Ian you and I talked about this software. Give me

501
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 2: the quote that you heard. I'll let you share it

502
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: with me. The short quote basically that Cam had about

503
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys when he was asked, the Cowboys still

504
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 2: America's team.

505
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, so sorry, we're having technical difficulties on the sound itself.

506
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 10: But so Cam Newton's quote about America's team, he pretty

507
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 10: much was saying that it's not Dallas anymore, and that

508
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 10: ship has pretty much sailed. They haven't done enough winning,

509
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 10: and it's come to the point that the Chiefs are

510
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 10: now America's team thanks to the fact that they've won

511
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 10: so much. And you know who's dating who you know

512
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 10: referencing Taylor Swift.

513
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: So fair enough. So Kansas City clearly is the moment's rage.

514
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 2: Why well, they went back to back Super Bowls and

515
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: they've won three in what the last four or five years.

516
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,479
Speaker 2: But if you look at the NFL and their history,

517
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 2: you cannot write the history of the NFL without circling

518
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 2: at one point that Dallas had been dubbed America's team,

519
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 2: and that whole Moniker rose to fame over five decades ago.

520
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: And why did it happen. It was due to their

521
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: on field success and they were overall marketability and Dallas

522
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: and the Cowboys had an enormous this national fan base.

523
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: Make no mistake, even today, the Cowboys have an enormous

524
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: national fan base and that nickname has been synonymous with

525
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: the franchise for fifty years. Even though Cam Newton says

526
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 2: Dallas isn't America's team anymore, why because their lack of

527
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: recent success. Right, here's a quote that Cam Newton gave.

528
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 2: He said, they don't seem to know how to win,

529
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 2: and everybody points fingers at Dak Prescott. I understand the

530
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 2: whole America's team. Well, if you understand that it's at

531
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 2: taxing admission, you think they might doesn't mean you have

532
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 2: to like them. Not everybody likes anybody. I mean, we're

533
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: in a country where you can be elected president and

534
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: seventy five million people voted for the other guy. So

535
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: if you don't understand that no one bats a thousand

536
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: in this lifetime or Bo's undefeated unless you're you know,

537
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 2: the seventy two Dolphins are Mark Rocky Marciana. But work

538
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 2: with me. But Cam Newton said, as I understand the

539
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: whole America's team, that is not America's team. No more

540
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. I don't know who had to say

541
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: that the Kansas City Chiefs is America's team by way

542
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 2: of who's dating who and who's winning what, they are

543
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: America's team. Let's stop lying to ourselves. Okay, if you

544
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: all want to get back to that title, you all

545
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: obviously got to win. Okay, Why wouldn't he just give

546
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: Kansas City their props without invoking the fact that the

547
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: present day Cowboys remain America's team. Not to be fair,

548
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 2: because I've been pretty much a Mike McCarthy basher. I

549
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: know he's had success in the league, but I just

550
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: can't he's been out coached in every big game in

551
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 2: the last four years. One playoff win. Yes, they've been

552
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: a playoff team in the past three seasons, but a

553
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: deep postseason run, Nope, And that's not why Jerry Jones

554
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: hired Mike McCarthy. And whenever he gets hot, it's hard

555
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: to breed and the game is on the line. You

556
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 2: look at McCarthy on the sideline, he's got that blank

557
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 2: look on his face like he's wandering around the mall

558
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: parking lot. Whet where the hell he parked his car.

559
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 2: So it's been very frustrating for Dallas since nineteen ninety five.

560
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: They wanted to hate of that success in the seventies

561
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: and then again in the nineties, but the criticism has

562
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: caused people like that or check do cam Newton to

563
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: call out the Cowboys and say, no, you're not an America's

564
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: team anymore. You're just not why you don't win anymore? Well,

565
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 2: does it have anything to do with winning? Can it

566
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: be a phenomenon? So one of the things I want

567
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 2: to hear from you folks at the top of the hour,

568
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 2: think about this now, because we don't have royalty in

569
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: this country. Our athletes are entertainers are our royalty. The

570
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: fact of the matter is that people identify with these

571
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 2: teams and find these teams to be a sports of inspiration.

572
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 2: Some find them in sports of inspiration a source of

573
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 2: inspiration when they lose. We talked about that a couple

574
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 2: weeks ago in one of our Midnight Hour topics. Hate

575
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 2: watching is real. The opposite of love is not hated.

576
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 2: Some difference, you have to have that same emotion built

577
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 2: up when you hate. You have to care, You have

578
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 2: to have something invested ate the same way you do love. Otherwise,

579
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: if you are ambivalent, you just simply don't care. That's

580
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 2: the opposite of love, not hate. So those who might

581
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 2: hate on Dallas Cowboys might make them a tax admission

582
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: that they still are America's team even though they haven't

583
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 2: won anything since Moby Dick was a mino, and I

584
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,239
Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna win anything anytime soon. But that

585
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: doesn't mean because of their polarizing nature and their history,

586
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: you can't consider them to still sort of be America's

587
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 2: team in a manner of speaking in the colloquial sense.

588
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 2: Things are very uncertain of Dallas right now. I don't

589
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: know if they're going to have a winning culture anytime soon,

590
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: but they're always on the front page. Dak Prescott in

591
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 2: the final year of his contract, his extension has not

592
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 2: been signed yet. There's been no word on a deal

593
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 2: with Ceedee Lamb. Additionally, Michael parsons he wants a massive

594
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 2: extension sooner rather than later, maybe as early as next year.

595
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 2: That's another team the team has to work on. By

596
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: the way, Mike McCarthy working without a contract. I talked

597
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,479
Speaker 2: to one of my moles. He seems to think that

598
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 2: McCarthy's not long for this world. As a matter of fact,

599
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 2: if Dallas gets out of the gate slow and oh yeah,

600
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 2: take a look at their schedule. They open up with Cleveland.

601
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: I think Cleveland's going to be sneaky good this year.

602
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 2: Then you got Baltimore early on. If Dallas comes out

603
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: of the gate slow, might Jerry do something crazy and

604
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 2: just boom McCarthy out of there. It's possible that would

605
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: not be his motor seperandi as it's been in the past.

606
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 2: He's been very loyal to his coaches. But you got

607
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 2: rid of Jason Garrett. They call him the Clapper. Well,

608
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy isn't noney better now? Dak wants to get

609
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 2: paid his sixty million dollars. Fine, He's a good regular

610
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: season quarterback, and that's what the market, obear, And I

611
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 2: know that Dallas is deathly afraid of going back to

612
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 2: the Quincy Carter Drew Henson era, so they might get

613
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 2: stuck signing Dack. But you want to win a super Bowl,

614
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 2: and Jerry Jones, at eighty one years young, isn't getting

615
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: any younger. Then you're starting to see the edges free

616
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 2: And why does it make the front page? Because Dallas

617
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: might still just be America's team love him or hate him,

618
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 2: good or bad? Right, sometimes your heroes have wartz. That's

619
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: topic number one I want to hear about. Coming up,

620
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 2: we set up topic number two. You know, in baseball,

621
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 2: if a player is flamboyant, he's known as a hot dog.

622
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: But what if your sport is hot dog? I'll fill

623
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 2: a little blanks coming up. I'm Bernie fratdle Er. Come

624
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 2: to your line from the Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio

626
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,200

00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: Don't listen no Fox Sports Radio Radio.

628
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 2: We're back on the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports Radio.

629
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 2: Come to your line through tire dot Com Studios here

630
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. We are eleven minutes away from twelve

631
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 2: midnight to midnight hour. From where I sit, it will

632
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 2: be twelve midnight. The clock will strike midnight in ten minutes,

633
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: and that means the midnight hour on the Bernie Frattle Show.

634
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 2: From where you sit, you might be in any other

635
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 2: time zone, but colloquially it is twelve midnight. The first

636
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: topic I want to hear from you on are the

637
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys still America's team? When you hear that moniker

638
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 2: being bandied about and it's associated with the Cowboys, do

639
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 2: you say yeah, hell yeah, or no, hell no, Wait

640
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 2: a minute, they have one anything forever blah blah blah.

641
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, one of the reasons I

642
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: mean this is becoming a thing. Let's hear from Cam Newton.

643
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: By the point of the thing is that Dak and

644
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: I understand, like yo, like he's America's team.

645
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:28,959
Speaker 2: That is not America's team. No more ladies and gentlemen.

646
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 11: I don't know who had to say that, the Kansas

647
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 11: City Chiefs American team.

648
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 2: By way of who's dating who and who's winning what?

649
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 3: There are America's team, Like, let's stop lying to our sales.

650
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, maybe you should stop lying to yourself. Dak.

651
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 2: All you had to say was Kansas City's America's team.

652
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 2: You didn't have to invoke Dallas Cowboys once. You didn't

653
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 2: have to invoke Dak Prescott once. But the fact that

654
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 2: you did, let's just know that you know about that.

655
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 2: That's why you could make a case that's a acid admission.

656
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 2: They might very well be America's team, all right? What

657
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 2: constitutes an athlete? I had a joke many years ago

658
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 2: on the air at Stuck. I said, here's how you

659
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 2: know if your sport involves athleticism. One you can bet

660
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: on it. Two, you can trash talk. Three it can

661
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 2: pull a groin. Well, you can sure bet on the

662
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 2: hot dog eating contest, and you can sure trash talking.

663
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 2: And when you look at what Mickey Studo has done

664
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: when ten years in a row, fifty one hot dogs

665
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 2: jump from thirty nine to fifty one. She won the

666
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 2: female side. Joey Chestnutt obviously was not part of the

667
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 2: event in New York, still drew thirty five thousand people.

668
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 2: Millions watched. It's a spectacle of the highest order. So

669
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 2: are these competitive eaters athletes? I can tell you this

670
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 2: is going to be a good argument I want to

671
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 2: hear from people, because if you understand what their routine

672
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 2: involves getting ready for these competitions, much less winning them,

673
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 2: much less winning ten in a row, you might be

674
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,959
Speaker 2: a little surprised they're not really eating. They've basically turned

675
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 2: their mouth and jaws into a human woodchipper machine. But

676
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 2: these guys run marathons, they have cross country cycling. They

677
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: spend a great amount of time expanding their stomach in

678
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 2: ways you don't want to know about. They do pilates,

679
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 2: they do yoga. In terms of their weekly daily schedule,

680
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 2: they do speed workouts, strength and flexibility exercises, ISOs, And

681
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is one of the things

682
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 2: you don't think about is, in addition to needing physical

683
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 2: stamina and cardio and the mental aspect, to endure the

684
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 2: pain that you have to go through, you have to

685
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 2: be able to well. I just said that establish a

686
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 2: base of cardio far beyond what the average person needs,

687
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 2: because you have a limited amount of time to get this,

688
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 2: and you got to be able to breathe. No matter

689
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 2: what you do in life, whatever activity you're involved in,

690
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 2: you've got to be able to breathe. So the question

691
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: is when you consider the physical feats that these individuals

692
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 2: are performing that are far beyond the pale of what

693
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 2: a normal human being could do, and the training that

694
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 2: it takes. The physical training that it takes, running, cardio, lifting, yoga, pilates,

695
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 2: you name it, cardio, et cetera, drinking so much water

696
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 2: that your stomach spands, you feel like you're going to explode.

697
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 2: You're challenging your body in ways that aren't normal. So

698
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 2: are competitive eaters athletes? Also, are the Dallas Cowboys still

699
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 2: in some sense America's team? Otherwise, why would people like

700
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 2: Cam Newton be spotting off about them? You make the call,

701
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,440

722
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 2: couple of tweets, So Cayboy Drew says, the Cowboys lost

723
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 2: that status a long time ago. The Patriots are America's team.

724
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 2: Doug Grayman tweets in the amount of drug use over

725
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 2: the decades by the Cowboys players, I've always considered them

726
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 2: South or Central America's team. Let's see that's what I'm

727
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 2: talking about, man, Let's get it rolling. Finally, regarding the

728
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: food aspect of this, Cowboy Drew absolutely these people who

729
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 2: do eating competitions or athletes. I tried the seventy two

730
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 2: ounce talents at the Big Texan in Amarillo, Texas, and

731
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 2: all I could put down was three pounds of food.

732
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 2: I've been to that place. It's been around for a long, long,

733
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 2: long time. It's a freak show. If you see the

734
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 2: size of that steak, seventy two ounces, right, that's four

735
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: and a half pounds, and it's a freak show. We'll

736
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 2: get to that a little bit later. Have some fun,

737
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 2: but let's get to the peeps on the lines. Spocks

738
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 2: Weed in Oregon leads us off tonight. Hi, it know, man,

739
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 2: what are you drinking?

740
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 12: Hey, Bernie, great to hear you drinking a fort George,

741
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 12: I pa is delicious and it is one of my

742
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 12: favorite beers.

743
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 2: How are you? I'm doing great? So is are the

744
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 2: Cowboys still America's team?

745
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 13: Yes?

746
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,359
Speaker 14: Or no? Yes they are?

747
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 2: You know, why go ahead?

748
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 12: It's all marketing. No one has tried to come out

749
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 12: and said we're America's team now, yes, I really weren't.

750
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 12: Why weren't the Patriots America's team? They were doing all

751
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 12: that stuff. They weren't trying to say, oh, we're going

752
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 12: to market ourselves as America's team.

753
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 5: And as long as you know.

754
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 12: The one of my I feel like a great persistent

755
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 12: right now. As long as no one's trying to knock

756
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 12: them off as America's team and try usurp that, then

757
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 12: by default they're still America's team.

758
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, regardless, they put that target on their back. And

759
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: the fact that it's even mentioned, I think you bring

760
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 2: raise a great, great point. It's all marketing, it's all image,

761
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 2: real quickly, because I want to make sure we get

762
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 2: to all the carston I real quickly. Competitive eaters Joey Chestnut.

763
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 2: Are they athletes? Absolutely?

764
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 12: They train, they do whatever physical things they need to

765
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 12: do in order to make sure they can get it done.

766
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 12: And speaking of marketing, if you'll indulge me really quickly,

767
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 12: this goes way, way, way way back.

768
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 2: You remember the Y two K scare? Do you remember

769
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,919
Speaker 2: that very much? So I'm one of the few people

770
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 2: that flew on New Year's Day that year. I didn't care.

771
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 12: Oh oh my goodness, oh wow, you're a brave man.

772
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 2: By the way.

773
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 12: So I was in marketing of you know, power supplies

774
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 12: and all that kind of stuff, and I wrote an

775
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 12: ad that said our power supplies are compatible with pre

776
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 12: y two K technology. It had nothing to do with chips.

777
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 12: It had nothing to do with anything. All I did

778
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 12: was I advertised as a joke. Engineers knew what I

779
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 12: was talking about. But I had a bunch of marketing

780
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 12: people that would call me.

781
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 5: And say, how do you how can you? How can

782
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 5: you tell me that.

783
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 2: This is true?

784
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 15: Give me the specs?

785
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 12: And it's like, oh my goodness, you don't know what

786
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 12: you're talking about, your marketers, And so everything is about marketing.

787
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 12: And the Cowboys are still America's team until someone marks

788
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 12: themselves as the next America's team.

789
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 2: Great job, Spock, way to get a started tonight. That's it.

790
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 2: That's well crafted. Whether you agree with him or not,

791
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 2: he makes a great case. Mason the millennial in the barrier,

792
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 2: what's happening to that?

793
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 7: Man?

794
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 14: Hey, Bernie, how you doing that?

795
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 5: I'm showing you know, I.

796
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 7: Really would love the way and on the.

797
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 16: Cowboys thing, go ahead, and uh, I just think that

798
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 16: you know, it starts at the.

799
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 7: Top with an owner like.

800
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 16: Jerry Jell and uh, you know it starts there. No

801
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 16: one's been really able to do what he's done as

802
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 16: far as you know, being relevant, being relevant in all ways.

803
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 7: And that brings me to.

804
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 16: My next point is that you know, even when they're

805
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 16: losing their relevant that that's what it comes down.

806
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 2: That's another excellent point too. And why again, why else

807
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 2: would Cam Newton bring them up if they weren't relevant?

808
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 2: So you and Spock marketing relevancy well crafted. Do you

809
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 2: have any thoughts, Mason on whether or not competitive leaders

810
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 2: or athletes?

811
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 16: Yeah, I offers in ping pong players are athletes, so

812
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 16: I mean why it stop their cheerleaders as well?

813
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:34,839
Speaker 7: You know, it takes a certain skill.

814
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 16: That not everyone has, and uh, you know, not everyone

815
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 16: can do it, and I think that comes down to

816
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 16: what an athlete is.

817
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 2: Great call Mason. We are off and running tonight to

818
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:50,280
Speaker 2: outstanding calls to get the ball rolling tonight. Jim in Massachusetts,

819
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 2: how are you? And I? Buddy?

820
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 7: Hey, what's going on?

821
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 2: Bernie?

822
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 7: As far as America's teams going on, marketing is part

823
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,240
Speaker 7: of it, but winning is everything. If you're not winning,

824
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 7: no one really cares. So outside of.

825
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 2: That, and they're in lives of the debate. You see,

826
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 2: you're not wrong. Here's the beauty of all three callers tonight.

827
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 2: When you when you base the premise and the relevant

828
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 2: specifics you put from behind your position, you're not wrong.

829
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 7: Continue on, when is everything in our society all our

830
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 7: society wants and winners. Everything else is second place. But

831
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 7: it's true about marketing. I mean, Dallas Cowboys, they do

832
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 7: have the most marketable stuff, you know, country wide, So

833
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 7: I don't think that's going away anytime soon.

834
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 2: And Jim, you mentioned winning. You're a thoughtful guy. You

835
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 2: mentioned winning. Is it winning just on the field or

836
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 2: is it winning in the court of public opinion? And

837
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 2: in the arena of entertainment.

838
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 7: They have to win on the field, fair enough, but

839
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 7: they're not doing that, but they are winning in the

840
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 7: court of public opinion because you know the merchandise they fell.

841
00:46:56,239 --> 00:47:00,280
Speaker 2: Great point. Let's talk hot dogs, my man. Are the athletes.

842
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 7: Bernie're a hot dog for? Are even bringing this up

843
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 7: to night? No, they're not athletes, I meanyway, Is there

844
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 7: a leak for hot dog eating?

845
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 6: Do they get paid?

846
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 7: Do they have commercials?

847
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 17: Well?

848
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 2: They do get to old? My goodness. You know you

849
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 2: know how much Jim, You know how much Joey Chestnut

850
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 2: makes annually? About six hundred grand annually. And I don't

851
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 2: know if you've heard my opening model or well I set.

852
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 13: This up thousand dollars eating hot dogs annually.

853
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 2: Annually. I'm going to increasetry. But if you think about

854
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 2: the essence of the competition, what it takes to be

855
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 2: on that level, and the genuine training and the pain

856
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 2: that they put their body through, That's where something isn't

857
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 2: it Jim?

858
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 6: Oh, it is.

859
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 7: But you think about just the health issue. People that

860
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 7: just want normal health issues and they circumvent their natural

861
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 7: health just to do that. I'm sorry, I don't believe

862
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:51,760
Speaker 7: in that. But America, what a country? Six hundred great?

863
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 7: Are you not talk for you?

864

00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 14: and of course I would work out, and I wanted

885
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 14: to beat everyone right there. And who inspire me? Joint

Speaker 14: Chess are the great American champion. He'll be back, jokes,

00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 14: You know he ate fifty or five Hawt dogs and

889
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 14: five minutes and though fifty seven and five minutes.

890
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully they can work that out real quickly, Poppy.

891
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 2: Are the Cowboys still America's team in some former fashion?

892
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 14: Look, i'll tell you, I'll tell you what American team. Yes,

893
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 14: it's a marketing. When I was younger, I looked up

894
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 14: to the Cowboys. Why because the American team Troy yek Man,

895
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 14: you know, Michael Michael Irvin, right, And.

896
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 2: It goes even back before that, fifteen years before that

897
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 2: in the seventies, long before jerryn bought the team. But

898
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 2: continue on.

899
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, and then they're an American team and you know

900
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 14: they were proving champions and they worked hard and it's

901
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 14: a marketing team and now like Jerry Jones, are always

902
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 14: going to be American's team. Why until Jerry Jones, Guys,

903
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 14: they're going to be America's team because he's the one

904
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 14: that made American team. And look, I would look for

905
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 14: them for the cheerleaders.

906
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 2: That's another part of it.

907
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 14: Yes, who has that? The Dallas Corby's the only ones

908
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 14: like wow, So yes, they are Americans saying thank you

909
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 14: Bernie for the time.

910
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 2: All right, Poppy have a good week and big fellow

911
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 2: by the way, which just to set the record straight,

912
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 2: they were dubbed America's team in seventy eight. That was

913
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 2: eleven years before Jerry bought the team. Poppy's not wrong.

914
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 2: Jerry did a lot to continue that. They were owned

915
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 2: by a different group. I think Clint Murchison, they're part

916
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 2: of tech Shram, Tom Landry. That's when they really became

917
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 2: America's team. Steve Rodriguez writes in on Twitter. Playing on

918
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving Day annually was a big part of the Cowboys

919
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 2: becoming America's team. I think that's true. I think that's

920
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 2: very true. By the time they were dubbed America's team,

921
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 2: they've already been a fixture on Thanksgiving Day for over

922
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 2: a decade. Lennon san Diego, Welcome back in my man.

923
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 2: How are you?

924
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 5: Thank you? Ernie?

925
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 18: I appreciate it.

926
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 11: Man. Hey, they're America's team, but they're just irrelevant. Your

927
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 11: callers are on fort tonight.

928
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:46,680
Speaker 18: You got some great listeners. What they have in common

929
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 18: with my Lakers is you can't ruin ors fail the brand.

930
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 18: But the only Jenny Jackson route. What have you done

931
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 18: for me lately?

932
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 2: He got me on that way. That's that.

933
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 1: I like that.

934
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 2: That's outstanding, but it is funny. It's funny. Hold that thought,

935
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 2: which raises sort of an additional dynamic here, what have

936
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 2: you done for me lately? Meaning that there are expectations

937
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 2: about the Cowboys because they are perhaps lynn a victim

938
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 2: of their own success. Nobody asks the Atlanta Falcons, what

939
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 2: have you done for me lately? You get my point.

940
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 18: You're exactly right, Bernie, you nailed it.

941
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:27,760
Speaker 5: Hey, What I want to say.

942
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 18: About Damn Newton, Man, I'm starting out the chair for

943
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,879
Speaker 18: that guy too much. He should just leave them alone.

944
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 2: He should just labeled.

945
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 5: The Chiefs the champions of the people, and leave it

946
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 5: at that.

947
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 11: Don't be knocking on the other teams like that.

948
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 2: That's low, okay. Our one last thing, Lynn, are you

949
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 2: know Joy chest note at all? Are they? Are they athletes?

950
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 2: These competitive eaters, Bernie.

951
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 18: I'm an athlete, and you know how I can't give

952
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 18: it to him, Bernie. If I eat too hot, I

953
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 18: can't even walk two blocks.

954
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 14: So it's like, man, something in me won't let me

955
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 14: give him that.

956
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 11: I'm gonsa keep him over there with gaming like cars

957
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,240
Speaker 11: and poker and all that. I'm putting him in gaming.

958
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 14: I can't give them athlete, Bernie.

959
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry, man.

960
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 11: I got a lot of respect for but I can't

961
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 11: give him the athlete card, Bernie.

962
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 2: As always, Lenn, a well thought out call. Appreciate you man,

963
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 2: and extra points for the Janet Jackson reference. What have

Speaker 2: still America's team?

986
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 19: As long as everyone told them they're still there?

987
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 2: You go every year with the styles of.

988
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 19: The season that maybe hanks them up and tells everyone

00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 19: had great lu and then everyone hate watches them until

990
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 19: they lose and that out of the playoffs, Pam.

991
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 2: The callers are just on fire tonight. That's see hate

992
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 2: watch talk about him. Look just this last week, h Denny,

993
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott in a boot, which I'm going to talk

994
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 2: about later. And then you've got a situation where Cam Newton,

995
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 2: fine if he likes Kansas City, but he did need

996
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 2: to mention Dallas.

997
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 19: To your point, I needn't just have to say something

998
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,320
Speaker 19: to take reminding relevant himself.

999
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you get people talking. Yes, yes, all right,

1000
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 2: my friend. Well let's talk hot dogs, all right, gentlemen at.

1001
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:18,640
Speaker 3: Athlete.

1002
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 19: So a professional leader is a pretty grown term and

1003
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 19: in the same way that the Formula one driver or

1004
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 19: an Escot driver our athletes. A professional leader is in

1005
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 19: the same sort of fashion. How many people actually sit

1006
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 19: there the work that Formula one drivers put in to

1007
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 19: remaining the top of their game. No one really ships

1008
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 19: there and cools their athletes as much as I have.

1009
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 2: All right, excellent call, Uh Denny. I hope you're enjoying

1010
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 2: everything down there in Australia. And uh is it am

1011
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 2: I allowed to say? Good day mate?

1012
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1013
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 5: Greys for it?

1014
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 2: All right, good day mate. Let's hear from you again, Danny.

1015
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 2: I enjoy your calls. Thanks pal, Steven Kansas City regular,

1016
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 2: welcome back in. How are you?

1017
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 14: Oh July Man.

1018
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 19: I got.

1019
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 5: Listen, I got it.

1020
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:12,879
Speaker 7: I gotta say, the.

1021
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 13: Dallas Cowboys has had a long and semi distinguished reign,

1022
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 13: but it's over.

1023
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 20: It's the top two shows all time are.

1024
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 13: Kansas City Chiefs Games. It took Taylor Swift and Travis

1025
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,240
Speaker 13: Kelsey to dethrone them. They're done, they're their their salary

1026
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,959
Speaker 13: cap is overloaded, and they hire Bill Belichick to try

1027
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 13: and to try and regain relevancy. But it took the

1028
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 13: Dallas Texans the Chiefs to dethrone them as America's as

1029
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 13: America's team. Taylor is going to be living here in

1030
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 13: the fall, so it's only going to.

1031
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 7: Get bigger, bigger and bigger.

1032
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 13: I mean, I I know.

1033
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 7: People hate watch, but there's something.

1034
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 13: Bigger than hate watching. It's all those it's all those

1035
00:55:56,239 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 13: females tuning in to either see what Taylor's wearing or

1036
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 13: what their boyfriends will react.

1037
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 5: So we kind of it's the X factor. It's the

1038
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:07,800
Speaker 5: great X factor.

1039
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 13: Even if you're sick of it, it's still gonna be

1040
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 13: It's still going to be getting bigger. We got we

1041
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 13: got one hundred and at the Super Bowl's peak. I'm

1042
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 13: sitting facts at you here.

1043
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 2: It was one.

1044
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 13: Hundred and thirty million people watching Taylor Swift, Travis Kelcey

1045
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 13: at the end of that game. That's the equivalent to

1046
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 13: the moon landing.

1047
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 6: I mean, you cannot.

1048
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:31,879
Speaker 7: Argue with my facts.

1049
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 13: The Chiefs are number one, the Dallas Cowboys are firm

1050
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 13: number two. And then we'll see if they get to

1051
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 13: the playoffs.

1052
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 7: Maybe that might might change if they they can run

1053
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 7: the playoffs. But they're done.

1054
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:47,439
Speaker 13: Their run is officially done. It was probably done last

1055
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 13: year when the Eagles game was the highest the Chiefs

1056
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,320
Speaker 13: Eagles was the highest rated ever, but it was really

1057
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 13: done this year. I hate to say it, but the

1058
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 13: NFL is growing and then they're gonna they're going to

1059
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 13: outgrow the Dallas Cowboys.

1060
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,880
Speaker 2: Ev Well, I gotta tell you, my friend, and I

1061
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 2: know you're in Kansas City. That's fine, by the way,

1062
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 2: not for nothing. They're going for a three peet this

1063
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 2: year and I'd like to see it happen. And you

1064
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 2: invoke another great point, Steven, that the Kansas City Chiefs

1065
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 2: originated as the Dallas Texans in the early sixties before

1066
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 2: they move. So you make that connection, not standing call.

1067
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, that's a call. You need to

1068
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 2: frame that and hang it on the wall next to

1069
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:27,800
Speaker 2: the lou by the Mona Lisa real quickly, hot dog.

1070
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 2: Competitive eaters are the athletes?

1071
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 13: Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna split it. I'm gonna split

1072
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 13: the difference here. I'm gonna say that, yes, there are

1073
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 13: certain categories of eating that are sport and competitive.

1074
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 5: There are certain ones that are not. Like drinking a

1075
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 5: gall of lemonade, and I.

1076
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 2: Thought, oh my god, you know in thirty seconds.

1077
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 5: But I even I could drink a bottle a gall

1078
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 5: of lemonade. I could trade myself to do that.

1079
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 7: So I'm not exactly sure that the.

1080
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 2: Sport all right, great, great call, Steven, and it's going

1081
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 2: to be a fun season. As the Chiefs tried to

1082
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 2: three feet this year, we got stories of Bond Taylor

1083
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 2: Swift while she moved to Kansas City, maybe she moved

1084
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 2: to Overland Park. I think that's where all the athletes live.

1085
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 2: But just saying, Mitchell in Ohio, welcome back in Mitchell, Horria. Hey,

1086
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 2: what's upright them, Bud?

1087
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 21: I've been watching the Dallas Cowboys for a lot of years.

1088
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 21: I've been a fan of Dallas Cowboys. One of the

1089
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 21: first quarterbacks I remember of Damie White.

1090
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 2: Sure yanteen seventy eight, started in the Super Bowl. Started

1091
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 2: in Super Bowl eleven for the and beat a former Cowboy,

1092
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 2: Craig Morton in Denver. Go ahead, Yeah, I was gonna say.

1093
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 21: One of the greatest players I ever saw in football

1094
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 21: was when they went to Candles Fit to go to

1095
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 21: the Super Bowl and they hadn't.

1096
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 7: Leven point lead in the fourth quarter, but got it.

1097
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 21: I went real comfortable with it because you know, forty

1098
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 21: nine ers was always coming back on people back then.

1099
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 5: Sure, they scored a touchdown in cut at the four.

1100
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 7: I was, don't worry they was going to try.

1101
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 21: To kill the clock and handed them which may not

1102
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 21: have been a bad thing. You know it was Benna Smiths. Anyway,

1103
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 21: Troy Aikman dropped back and Alvin Harper coming across the middle.

1104
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 21: They didn't see him again.

1105
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 5: Trek up for the four yard line.

1106
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 21: Then the Cowboys comes Togam.

1107
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 2: I remember that game like yesterday in a muddy field

1108
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 2: in January nineteen ninety three. On that slant he took

1109
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 2: up to the House, and I said, oh, my goodness,

1110
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 2: is for real? All right, So it's kind of a

1111
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 2: vote that they are are hot dog eaters, competitive athletes.

1112
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 22: H Lady me, I'm not.

1113
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 7: I'm not going sure that it's kind of grues.

1114
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, they're training alone, so all right, good stuff.

1115
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 2: Mitchell good recalled down memory Lane, and the truth of

1116
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 2: the matter is, if you heard what he said, he's

1117
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 2: been watching the Cowboys a lot of years, and I

1118
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 2: thought Steven was strong in Kansas City. We'll see if

1119
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 2: the Chiefs stand the test of time. Although they've been

1120
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 2: relevant since the sixties. Who could forget Hank Stram just

1121
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,439
Speaker 2: keep articulating the ball out of the field boys, and

1122
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 2: it was the Chiefs. Everybody remembers what Joe Nama did

1123
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 2: in sixty nine. But the following year, the Chiefs beat

1124
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 2: the Purple People Leaders in Minnesota twenty three to six.

1125
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 2: Very impressive. Garrett in Texas, You're up next, Good evening,

01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 2: it this way, whether they are.

1134
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 23: done being talked about the seed Lands on that contact

01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 23: they're gonna talk about to the season starts through the

1136
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 23: season or look at the biggest to talk every day

1137
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 23: is da krestof contract.

1138
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 2: They're not talking about anybody else them in the.

1139
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 18: South because I don't know what they have going on.

1140
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,439
Speaker 23: But other than that, the Dallas table was the number

1141
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 23: one So working on a three P how long you.

1142
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 11: Hear about that?

1143
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 18: You don't you hear about Dallas taboys.

1144
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 2: In their off seasons? So really fair point. That's a

1145
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 2: fair point in terms of public perception in the marketing

1146
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 2: aspect and what's blown in the wind. That's you're right.

1147
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 2: More people seem to have the Cowboys and even though

1148
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 2: the Chiefs had these amazing accompfidence all right, Garrett, So

1149
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 2: our competitive eaters like Joey Chestnut, are they legitimate athletes?

1150
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1151
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 18: I would say I would say yes.

1152
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 23: In competitive eating that yet if you're a yeah, he

1153
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:24,919
Speaker 23: drinking as well? That man said that he could drink

1154
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 23: it is eliminated if he had a training So if

1155
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 23: you can wake up and do it every day, No,

1156
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 23: it's not an athletic obligation, I guess you could say,

1157
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 23: but you try to eat fifty seven.

1158
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 5: Dollars in a day.

1159
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 19: In a day, let's last five minutes.

Speaker 8: The Diamondbacks actually took the lead against the Padres in

1170
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,680

1219
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 8: Paul Skins, but the story of the day was the offense,

1220

Speaker 8: season and has an EL now of two point one two.

1226

1231
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 8: but Canada advancing to the semifinals on penalty kicks four

1232
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 8: to three in favor of the Canadians, so they will

Speaker 9: Thanks so much for taking my call, Bernie.

1238
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 17: You know, I gotta say, while Dallas Cowboys may be

1239
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 17: America's team, the Oakland Slash Las Vegas Raiders will always and.

1240
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 18: Forever more be the world's team. We're the ones that

1241
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 18: de throw in the Kansas.

1242
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 2: City Chiefs, the last team to beat them.

1243
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 17: All right, this defense is coming in pumped. DeVante Adams

1244
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 17: going for one thousand, doesn't matter which quarterback we run with,

1245
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 17: Mayor White going for a thousand.

1246
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 7: No need for Josh Jacobs anymore.

1247
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:56,919
Speaker 2: It's going to be a huge year.

1248
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 17: We're going to be pumped up to play with Antonio

1249
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 17: Pierce manning the well. And you know one thing I

1250
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 17: got to say, with this guy, Christian Wilkins coming in.

1251
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 17: You've seen Max Crosby and what he can do with

1252
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 17: no other help on the d line. Now with a

1253
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:12,880
Speaker 17: stout defensive tackle to play beside him, Oh man, you're

1254
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 17: going to see Justin Herbert, Patrick, Mahomes and whoever Denver

1255
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 17: puts out running scared all season long.

1256
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 2: I can't wait, all right, Joey, they pushed around the

1257
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 2: Chiefs on Christmas Day, that's deniable. And I will say

1258
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 2: this about the Raiders. I firmly believe they have the

1259
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:31,760
Speaker 2: greatest fan base in all sports. They left Oakland twice,

1260
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 2: they left LA went back to Oakland. Now they come

1261
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,440
Speaker 2: to Vegas and the fan base has been right by

1262
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 2: the side of the entire time. Greater Joey are competitive eaters,

1263
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 2: real athletes.

1264
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 17: I believe, So you got to give it up to him.

1265
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 17: And it takes a special skill to get it down

1266
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 17: that quickly and to enlarge your stomach the way they

1267
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 17: do unbelievable, Bernie, I got a quick question for you, man,

1268
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 17: just I need some professional advice. Besides McCaffrey, Breeese Hall,

1269
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 17: and Bijon Robinson, who's the best running back for fantasy

1270
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 17: football this coming season?

1271
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:04,440
Speaker 2: You know, I've got to do my research because a

1272
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 2: lot of times it's going to depend on the offense

1273
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 2: they're in, how they're used, their prospect is staying healthy,

1274
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 2: and will they be used on the goal line in

1275
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 2: the red zone? Hold that thought. We'll get to that

1276
01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks. Okay, all right, thanks Raider Joey,

1277
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 2: appreciate your call. Good stuff. Alan Washington, you're up next

1278
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 2: to my friend. You're on the air, Alan, go ahead?

1279
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 5: Oh hey, hey, already doing man?

1280
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 2: Man go ahead, sir? So yeah, you're up.

1281
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 6: All right?

1282
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 2: What would you like to hear about? First? Well, why

1283
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:37,920
Speaker 2: don't we start with the Cowboys? All right?

1284
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,480
Speaker 5: Well, I personally think that the Cowboys.

1285
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 24: You can't have a team that's such for the last

1286
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 24: twenty years, representing in being an America's team. I'm not

1287
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 24: super happy about it, but I would think maybe the

1288
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 24: Patriots are a better choice, even though it might be

1289
01:07:51,840 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 24: a little bit more polarizing of a of a team,

1290
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 24: just because they've been so successful. They've got the whole Patriots,

1291
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 24: the American revolutionary thing going on.

1292
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 2: Well, the Pagets have been mentioned, and look what they've

1293
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 2: done this millennium. It's undeniable. But in the world of

1294
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 2: show business, the way Dallas has marketed themselves for fifty years,

1295
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:18,080
Speaker 2: with the vibe and the advertising and the cheerleaders and

1296
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 2: the whole deal, the fact that we're talking about them

1297
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 2: makes it, you know, really a real topic. All right.

1298
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 2: How about the hot dog eaters? Are the athletes?

1299
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:26,639
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1300
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 7: I tend to think so.

1301
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 24: I think if you can train any part of your

1302
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 24: body to be exceptional, you know, with whatever training you

1303
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:38,439
Speaker 24: mentioned earlier, you know, can checking the stomach, Yeah, it's

1304
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 24: pretty immense.

1305
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 7: You consider like arm wrestling to be a sport.

1306
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 14: Or shoot any you know, like anything that would be.

1307
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 2: On you think that involves physical exertion that you got

1308
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:50,640
Speaker 2: to train for.

1309
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 24: Yeah, anything that you need to train your body to

1310
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 24: become you know, extraordinary, I think is the sports all right?

1311
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 2: Sho you called it? I thank you very much. Uh,

1312
01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 2: Solomon Los Angeles back with us?

1313
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 17: Are you.

1314
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 5: Hey, Bernie?

1315
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 25: How you doing?

1316
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:08,680
Speaker 7: Thanks An for taking the back ball?

1317
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 2: Good.

1318
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:09,640
Speaker 6: Uh.

1319
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 7: Here's the thing on the on the Cowboys.

1320
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 5: It's it's it's literal versus you know.

1321
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 2: Uh figured, I'm sorry what figurative? Yeah, yeah, I sure

1322
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 2: haven't won anything in a while.

1323
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 15: Continue on, Yeah, I had it before I came up anyway,

1324
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 15: So figuratively, yeah, they're they're America team.

1325
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 7: They're marketed that way. It's a moniker. It sticks with him.

1326
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what their record is.

1327
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 7: If you pointed it out, it's Dallas, it's Jerry Jones,

1328
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 7: it's the Big Stadium, it's Texas.

1329
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 15: That's figuratively America's team. Literally, America's team. If there's an

1330
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,600
Speaker 15: international competition, you're not sending.

1331
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 5: The Dallas Cowboys.

1332
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,679
Speaker 15: You're not sending the city, right, you know what I'm saying.

1333
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 15: You're not You're not sending the Kansas City Chief. You're

1334
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 15: sending a collection of NFL also ours. That's America's literally,

1335
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 15: But am I wrong?

1336
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 2: Well? I think you know it involves a hypothetical argument.

1337
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 2: I think, to your earlier point, when you haven't won,

1338
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 2: which is what we want in America, you don't. We

1339
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 2: don't really remember second place a lot. It's hard to

1340
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 2: make that case for the Cowboys, but they are in

1341
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 2: the ether. They've been such a part of the American

1342
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 2: fabric and the way they're perceived and the way that

1343
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 2: they've been viewed. Even if they don't win, they're a

1344
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 2: victim of their own past success. People expect them to

1345
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,679
Speaker 2: even though they don't give you any reason to real quickly,

1346
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 2: you got the last word selling them.

1347
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, well, no, it's fine. I agree with you there.

1348
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 7: It's so true.

1349
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 15: And as far as you know the eaters being athletes,

1350
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 15: that one's a stretch for me.

1351
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 7: I guess I'm just so old, like I'm not wrong

1352
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 7: with that.

1353
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:53,719
Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with that. There's no right or wrong tonight.

1354
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:56,719
Speaker 2: These are esoteric setrics, and it's it's impossible to really prove.

1355
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,679
Speaker 5: So, yeah, well, they're challenged.

1356
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 7: They they definitely have a talent, but I have to

1357
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:04,600
Speaker 7: call them athletes. I don't know that much. That's a

1358
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 7: stretch for me.

1359
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:10,879
Speaker 2: All right, pal, good stuff, So man, he often imitated,

1360
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 2: never duplicated. We call him Manuel and Guardina Man. Well

1361
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 2: to what do we owe this pleasure tonight?

1362
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 18: Baby Burns just going burn out?

1363
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,639
Speaker 22: How you doing, Bernie hey Man?

1364
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:27,720
Speaker 2: Just having a couple of hot dogs, you know, and

1365
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 2: learning history? Mister hand, What have we got tonight? The

1366
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 2: Cowboys are?

1367
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 14: They are?

1368
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 2: They America's team? Well as much as they blow for

1369
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:38,680
Speaker 2: the last thirty years, you know.

1370
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:43,880
Speaker 26: I don't remember any team having It wasn't like Debbie does.

1371
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 7: San Francisco or Debbie does like Houston.

1372
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 22: It was Debbie does Dallas, right, and you know what

1373
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 22: like Honestly, as much as we hate him, and as

1374
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 22: stretched out as Jerry Jones's face is, it doesn't matter.

1375
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 5: They are America's team.

1376
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 26: I mean they are in the limelight. They get the

1377
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 26: most nationally broadcast games, no matter if they're in the

1378
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 26: dumpster or in the penthouse.

1379
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:15,679
Speaker 14: So I mean they are America's team.

1380
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 5: And you got to give it to old plastic.

1381
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 26: Man Jerry Jones, because he has been the businessman of

1382
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,839
Speaker 26: the century, a marketing machine.

1383
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 5: Taking Nike.

1384
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 26: Remember when when he the NFL took Rebok and he

1385
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 26: took Nike at the exact case time when you know,

1386
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 26: finding loophole's generating money, always having people talking about the Cowboys,

1387
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 26: whether it was you know, Quincy Carter or freaking Dak Prescott.

1388
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 14: So you got to give them that they are America's team.

1389
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,560
Speaker 26: But it would it would be nice, like one of

1390
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:54,760
Speaker 26: the cars said, if they want a little more, you know,

1391
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:55,759
Speaker 26: especially recently.

1392
01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 5: You know me and I agree with another statement you said,

1393
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:03,759
Speaker 5: your nation is the most powerful fan base on Earth.

1394
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:08,639
Speaker 5: I'm a Raider fan, so you know I love my Raiders.

1395
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 14: Now, well, what was that other topic you were?

1396
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:14,719
Speaker 2: Well, all right, so we had the hot dog any contest?

1397
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 5: Oh yes, so Kolby, Yashi and chest.

1398
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 26: Those guys are the maids.

1399
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:25,880
Speaker 2: Man, We'll see if this new generation labor day Labor Day?

1400
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 2: Do you see how those guys train? I give them

1401
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 2: the nod. I give a fifty one to forty nine

1402
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 2: that the are athletes. So is that a nod?

1403
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:32,280
Speaker 12: Yes?

1404
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:32,879
Speaker 2: Their athletes?

1405
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 5: Manwell, yeah, I'm disgusted by the whole practice, but.

1406
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 6: Yes, they are athletes.

1407
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 2: I mean you got to give it to them. Great job, Bernie,

1408
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 2: love the show, Thanks Man, Well, great to have you. Man,

1409
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,120
Speaker 2: always a fun call. Let's get one more in here,

1410
01:13:46,439 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 2: Fred and Nebraska, what have you got for us.

1411
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 27: Oh, Dallas merchandising wise is probably the number one team

1412
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 27: in the nation. You go to any city, you see

1413
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 27: Dallas stuff. A lot of Seattle, Cincinnati, Miami, all those places.

1414
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:06,240
Speaker 27: You don't see Chief stuff as much as you did, Allison.

1415
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 27: But at every city you do go into, including even Buffalo,

1416
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 27: you're gonna find Raiders stuff everywhere.

1417
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:17,719
Speaker 2: All right, competitive eaters are the athletes.

1418
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:21,759
Speaker 27: When I when I see a competitive eater terrors acl

1419
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:23,040
Speaker 27: then I'll call them an athlete.

1420
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 2: That's fair. That's fair. Hey, all right, Fred, good to

1434
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:13,640
Speaker 6: You know TMS too. Ever, since I'm digging myself, not

1435
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:17,240
Speaker 6: literally dating my show, I'm dooting my show.

1436
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 2: Hey man, you're chronologically accomplished. Okay, David, It's all good.

1437
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 6: Remember her Shawalker trade of the Minnesota teams, Mike Clinton

1438
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:33,879
Speaker 6: leven players a leven players for one player her Joe Walker,

1439
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 6: which was a bad deal, a row.

1440
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:41,519
Speaker 2: Stupid deal, outstanding hollering James. I gotta say that was

1441
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,960
Speaker 2: thirty five years ago and it still rings true. Okay, Buddy,

1442
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:49,799
Speaker 2: are hot dog eaters? These competitive eaters? Are they legit athletes?

1443
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 6: Hot one competitive leaders? You watched the Minnesota like you

1444
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 6: to Justin Jummerson this year? I mean he's a competitive athlete.

1445
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:04,640
Speaker 6: Turn lights out? Do you see two shotshots? Do some

1446
01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 6: of these players this year? At that quarterback? I've been

1447
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 6: yelling as Shumer Bernie on the air, and that's why

1448
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:14,800
Speaker 6: I lost.

1449
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 2: Why I was holler and James nice everage tonight. I

1450
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 2: never complained about getting older. Many fine people are denied

1451
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 2: the privilege. That's what Mark Twain once said, you're chronologically accomplished.

1452
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 2: Ray Ray in de Woine, Iowa. What have we got?

1453
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 2: My man?

1454
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,719
Speaker 7: He was a Revernde Green de Wine, Iowa.

1455
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:36,400
Speaker 28: Hey, uh yeah, Cowboys might as well be America's team

1456
01:16:36,479 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 28: from my age when I grew up. You know, I'm

1457
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 28: a students fan. But basically it's just all marketing scheme

1458
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 28: by Dallas that they established back in the seventies. Like

1459
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:47,440
Speaker 28: you're talking about.

1460
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 2: Yes, a thousand thousand percent yuh hot dogs? Are they

1461
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 2: right now? Now?

1462
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 28: If you're talking competitive eaters, then I got to put

1463
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 28: my friends that are competitive bong smokers from the Professional

1464
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 28: Bank Racing Association and the Colorado Bonatan and they meet

1465
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:08,559
Speaker 28: every year. They do qualifiers every month, and a sub

1466
01:17:08,800 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 28: sub one minute smoking a gramma of WHED is just

1467
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 28: as competitive as an athlete as all.

1468
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you. I gotta tell you Ray, that's

1469
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:18,880
Speaker 2: got to be one hell of a training ground for

1470
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,479
Speaker 2: eating too. Right, man, you know what happens would right

1471
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 2: you just start you start crushing the you know the

1472
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 2: mean green All right? I think we lost for Ray.

1473
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 2: Good call Ray, we want to hear from you again.

1474
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 2: Bryce in Texas, Welcome back.

1475
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:34,720
Speaker 1: How are you man?

1476
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 29: That last message or the last floor had me thinking

1477
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 29: he's right. If if hot dog eating is an athlete

1478
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 29: for that professional sports and John Daily, it's like top

1479
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 29: notch athlete.

1480
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 2: Oh, he's like my all time hero. I followed with

1481
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 2: the masters in the night and night for four holes.

1482
01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 2: You can't know how freak? What a freaky is? All right?

1483
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 2: Real quickly, I would want to run out of time.

1484
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 2: Here are the Cowboys America's team?

1485
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:03,880
Speaker 29: If they are quickly fating, we are sending Jacksonville to

1486
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:07,559
Speaker 29: London every year to represent the NFL. If Dallas truly

1487
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:09,719
Speaker 29: was the America team, we'd be sending them to growth

1488
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 29: and expain NFL. But we're not doing it. I think

1489
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:15,640
Speaker 29: we're caught right now in this. We have options. I

1490
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 29: could just flog onto YouTube and watch their what is

1491
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 29: it the NFL package and watch any sure now once?

1492
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 2: Yes?

1493
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 7: Right?

1494
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 29: So the nostalgia of having Dallas is the America team,

1495
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 29: I think it's quickly fading. And I think calling them

1496
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 29: America team is just simply nostalgia.

1497
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 2: And nostalgia is a trap, and we pined for it.

1498
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 2: So I think that's an excellent point. Real quickly, are

1499
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:40,839
Speaker 2: the hot Dogs Eaters athletes?

1500
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 24: Yeah?

1501
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 29: I'd give them.

1502
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:48,600
Speaker 2: All right, good good stuff. What I want to do

1503
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:50,720
Speaker 2: is call an audible here. If Kirk can hang on.

1504
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 2: He's called before. He's a good caller. He waited online

1505
01:18:55,360 --> 01:19:00,080
Speaker 2: a long time, and we have to abide by the

1506
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 2: rules here, so I'd rather have Kurt. We'll take him

1507
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 2: right after the top of the hour so we can

1508
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 2: have time to make his points. So let e let

1509
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 2: Kurt know to hang on the line. The callers tonight

1510
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 2: have been just superb, very thought provoking, make their case,

1511
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 2: justify it with relevant specifics, plenty of historical references, humor,

1512
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 2: and I think for the most part, the slight edge

1513
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 2: is like it or not. Dallas is still kind of

1514
01:19:24,240 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 2: America's team, like it or not, just because of the

1515
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 2: image in the marketing. Our competitive athletes are competitive eaters athletes,

1516
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 2: yes and no, depending on your perspective. No one's dissing them,

1517
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 2: but they're kind of putting in a proper perspective. So

1518
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 2: we would continue on. Kurt will go to you first,

1519
01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 2: and I want to get the crew in as well.

1520
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:44,479
Speaker 2: And by the way, I promised earlier in the show,

1521
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 2: what the hell is the second apron? We'll get to it.

1522
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 2: Maybe it's what you need after you eat a hot dog? No,

1523
01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:51,920
Speaker 2: it's more than that. Keep it locked to Bernie fraddle Show,

01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 2: Callers have been exceptional tonight. They're good every way tonight,

1533
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 2: just exceptional. And we have time for one more. And

1534
01:20:25,600 --> 01:20:28,559
Speaker 2: as we reset the topic of course, are the Dallas

1535
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 2: Cowboys still America's team? And are these competitive eaters? Are

1536
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 2: they legitimate athletes? Kurt, thanks for hanging on. Kurt from

1537
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 2: southern California and welcome back in Hey.

1538
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 20: Good evening, Burning, good evening, Paison, good evening, bad show

1539
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:50,519
Speaker 20: as a great show as usual. With regards to the

1540
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 20: hot dog eating contest, okay, uh absolute, My question is

1541
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:02,840
Speaker 20: this if a sword swallower runs a marathon and can

1542
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:07,719
Speaker 20: list three hundred pounds does that make him an athlete?

1543
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 2: It's debatable because you are anything that involves physical exertion

1544
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:17,559
Speaker 2: of that nature, that requires training, that could involve injury,

1545
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 2: cardiovascular awareness. It's it's really an interesting topic because so

1546
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 2: much more to it. Kurt meets the eye.

1547
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 20: So then this would this would be my opinion. I thought,

1548
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 20: getting contests, that's a carnival.

1549
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:34,679
Speaker 18: That's a carnival.

1550
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,559
Speaker 2: That's fair. That's fair. There is no right or wrong

1551
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 2: answer tonight. It's how it's perceived. I think I probably

1552
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:44,799
Speaker 2: oversold it a little bit because I've studied the training

1553
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:49,360
Speaker 2: involved and what you know, what it all entails. Let's

1554
01:21:49,360 --> 01:21:51,919
Speaker 2: hear what you got to say about the Dallas Cowboys,

1555
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:54,880
Speaker 2: because fifty years later they're an item even though they

1556
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:55,559
Speaker 2: don't win anything.

1557
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 20: Been a football fan since George Hollis drafted Dick Budgets

1558
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:05,480
Speaker 20: and Gail Sayers in the same draft. To me, America's

1559
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 20: team is the Green Bay Packers, and I'll tell you

1560
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:11,679
Speaker 20: why because they're owned by the people.

1561
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 2: Oh I love What a great what a great thought.

1562
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 2: And hang on, stay on the line, my dear friend,

1563
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:22,679
Speaker 2: God rest his soul mentor Dick shaff And of course

1564
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 2: yes I was on the phone Jeremy yesterday. He was

1565
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 2: actually one of the broadcasters of the Hot Talk contest,

1566
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 2: wrote the book Instant Replay. Jerry Kramer and Green Bay

1567
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:36,639
Speaker 2: Really Green Bay, Wisconsin, right Championship Town, USA. You're not wrong.

1568
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:41,640
Speaker 2: That is really an homage to a legitimate franchise in

1569
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:43,920
Speaker 2: a little tiny town. Continue on with your thought.

1570
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:50,960
Speaker 20: Well, when you look at their quarterback scenario where they

1571
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 20: had Farv, then they had Rogers, and now they have

1572
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 20: this young man I can't think of his name.

1573
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:57,840
Speaker 2: Jordan Love.

1574
01:22:58,439 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 20: I don't think that that's an accident.

1575
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 2: And how about bart Star before that, and bart.

1576
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 20: Star before that? So there must be something to that

1577
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 20: more than just a synchronicity. And so therefore, because the

1578
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:15,640
Speaker 20: people are making a lot of the decisions when it

1579
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:20,679
Speaker 20: comes to their football team, because they own their football team,

1580
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 20: those are all Americans.

1581
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:25,320
Speaker 14: And that to me is what.

1582
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 20: Distinguishes the Green Bay Packers being an American America's team.

1583
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:39,640
Speaker 2: In not the Cowboys, in not the Cowboys. You know,

1584
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:43,640
Speaker 2: part of being famous in America is that half the

1585
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 2: people are going to hate you. You don't even know it.

1586
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:48,960
Speaker 2: Does anybody hate the Packers that have been Bears fans?

1587
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 20: Well, you know, what my friends that are Bears fans,

1588
01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:57,679
Speaker 20: if they're listening to this, I might get some flack

1589
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 20: for it because of being such a Bear fan.

1590
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:05,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's an objective thought. It's not subjective to

1591
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 2: any of your fandom. What we're trying to do is

1592
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 2: have an intellectual topic tonight, because you know what, if

1593
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 2: Cam Newton had to opened his mouth this week and

1594
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:15,760
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott wasn't seeing walk around on a boot, we're

1595
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:18,919
Speaker 2: not probably having this conversation tonight. But they are so relevant,

1596
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:21,639
Speaker 2: not because they win, but because of everything else, due

1597
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 2: to a fifty year tenure which involved marketing from when

1598
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 2: they used to win the stadium with a whole of it.

1599
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:30,639
Speaker 2: Why because God could watch games. I mean, the whole

1600
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 2: thing is so silly. You got the last word, Kurt.

1601
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 7: Thanks for checking my call.

1602
01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:38,680
Speaker 20: Bernie with a pleasure talking to you.

1603
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:40,960
Speaker 2: Okay, but don't be a stranger. We do this every

1604
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:44,640
Speaker 2: Friday night at midnight hour at midnight Pacific. Props to

1605
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:46,759
Speaker 2: Ian who thought this would be really good topic tonight,

1606
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:48,960
Speaker 2: so we went with So let's start with you, Ian,

1607
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 2: is are the Cowboys of America's team?

1608
01:24:52,439 --> 01:24:52,599
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1609
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 10: Honestly, there have been great thoughts tonight, as you've been saying,

1610
01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:58,640
Speaker 10: Bernie had like plenty that I hadn't even thought of.

1611
01:24:58,920 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 10: And it just really comes down to what what your

1612
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 10: definition of America's team is, because as a lot of

1613
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 10: callers brought up there, they have marketed themselves that way

1614
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 10: since like what the seventies like, So there's no denying

1615
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 10: that they are quote unquote America's team because that's what

1616
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 10: they're called. That's what the Dallas Cowboys are, that's their brand.

1617
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 10: But if we're talking about, like if your definition of

1618
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 10: America's team is actually like who's the most representative of

1619
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 10: America and who has the most American fans? I that

1620
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 10: that is the Chiefs at this point because of Tyler especially.

1621
01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:33,120
Speaker 2: It isn't the Cowboys the number show And not to

1622
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:35,840
Speaker 2: argue with you have a total vision. Yeah, numbers per

1623
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:40,639
Speaker 2: game even this past season backs up this long standing narrative.

1624
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 2: The Cowboys still this last season were the most watched

1625
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:45,320
Speaker 2: team in the regular season.

1626
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 10: Ah No, that's coming out of it like that that

1627
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 10: that's a tangible stat right there, and I actually cannot

1628
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:57,600
Speaker 10: combat that, but uh yeah, I mean to me, it

1629
01:25:57,760 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 10: really does just come down to, like what your personal

1630
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,799
Speaker 10: definition of America's team is going to be though, Like it's.

1631
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 2: Just well, that's why this was an argument that there

1632
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 2: are no right or wrong answers. Yeah, now that's not

1633
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 2: that's not just the Chiefs, right. They had twenty three

1634
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:13,240
Speaker 2: million viewers per game this last season. They were the

1635
01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 2: second most behind Dallas.

1636
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 10: Well and as many of the callers have also pointed

1637
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,680
Speaker 10: out that Dallas hasn't really won much and you know

1638
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 10: since like the nineties or whenever they went on their

1639
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 10: their big runs, since since they really were quote unquote

1640
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:27,639
Speaker 10: America's team full force.

1641
01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, all right, are competitive eaters athletes? Uh? To me?

1642
01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 10: No, I and I and I respect again, like I

1643
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 10: respect completely what they do. But to me, they're they're competitors,

1644
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:43,840
Speaker 10: they're not athletes. If you're if you're playing a sport

1645
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:46,599
Speaker 10: and you're competing in a sport, then you're an athlete.

1646
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:49,000
Speaker 10: But to me, competitive eating isn't a sport, and that

1647
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:51,759
Speaker 10: I I think it is just like a per person basis,

1648
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:53,600
Speaker 10: again similar to the Cowboys thing. It depends on what

1649
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 10: your personal definition is of a sport. But yeah, to me, it's, uh,

1650
01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:00,040
Speaker 10: it's an.

1651
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:03,560
Speaker 2: And then both topics really come down to more subjectivity

1652
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 2: although before I get to crandle Mark and the chef, look,

1653
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 2: the Cowboys always make the headlines whether they win or not,

1654
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 2: and they joined the NFL as an expansion team in

1655
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty. They still hold the record for the number

1656
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:23,559
Speaker 2: of highest number of consecutive sellouts, both home and away

1657
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 2: all right. Since two thousand and two the streaks continued.

1658
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:30,320
Speaker 2: The Cowboys have played one hundred and ninety consecutive games

1659
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,759
Speaker 2: where they've been sold out every game. So somebody is watching,

1660
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 2: whether they're hate watching or not. And if you go back,

1661
01:27:37,560 --> 01:27:40,920
Speaker 2: I strongly suggest that people google it or try to

1662
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 2: find it on YouTube. There was a highlight film in

1663
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:49,640
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy eight that was produced where the team or

1664
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 2: the nickname America's team was keaped upon the Cowboys and

1665
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:57,120
Speaker 2: it's stuck. And seventy eight the Cowboys won the Super Bowl,

1666
01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 2: so second time they'd won, they played this it was

1667
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:02,800
Speaker 2: a following year and lost. Uh, and then they didn't

1668
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 2: win again until what ninety two to ninety three and

1669
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,639
Speaker 2: the ninety five, and they probably would have won three

1670
01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:10,960
Speaker 2: more if you know, Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones could

1671
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 2: have gotten along, But that's beside the point. All right, Kranton,

1672
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:14,800
Speaker 2: let's get your thoughts tonight on this.

1673
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:16,680
Speaker 10: Wait, actually, Bernie, can I say one more thing though

1674
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 10: about the U, just about the hate watching thing. It's

1675
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:22,680
Speaker 10: that's something else is if people are tuning in to

1676
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 10: hate watch, you're not really watching your team, right, Like

1677
01:28:26,320 --> 01:28:28,720
Speaker 10: you're not really watching America's team. You're tearing its like

1678
01:28:28,760 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 10: you're tuning in because you want them to fail.

1679
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 2: You want them to fail because they're a threat to you.

1680
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:36,519
Speaker 2: That's how people operate. Some people operate.

1681
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 7: You are you.

1682
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 2: There's a palpable sense of glee. Well your team on

1683
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 2: that win. But if that team loses, I feel better.

1684
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 2: And that's a real thing.

1685
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:46,439
Speaker 10: Yeah, well said so yeah and.

1686
01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 2: Part and by the way, you know, I think the

1687
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 2: Cowboys are a victim of their own past success. There's

1688
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:54,200
Speaker 2: just no question about it. But they beat their chest

1689
01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:57,200
Speaker 2: and the Cowboy cheerleaders and Jerry Jones. It's continued and

1690
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,559
Speaker 2: they were America's team eleven years before Jerry even bought

1691
01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:02,040
Speaker 2: the team. So really good stuff to make good stuff. Ian,

1692
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 2: all right, crandle your thoughts all right, Bernie.

1693
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 30: So my opinion will start off with America's team. I

1694
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:13,200
Speaker 30: think it's by far the Dallas Cowboys, and for a

1695
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:16,120
Speaker 30: lot of factors. I think you start off with Ian

1696
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:21,480
Speaker 30: with the hate watching. For the other arguments for the Patriots,

1697
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 30: the Packers teams like the Steelers, the Patriots, yes they

1698
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:30,120
Speaker 30: had their run, But for this argument, when Tom Brady left,

1699
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 30: then that goes down the drain for the Packers Aaron

1700
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 30: Rodgerson there, so the hate watching goes down the drain

1701
01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:41,680
Speaker 30: for that one. The Steelers, Big Ben, those guys are

1702
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:46,000
Speaker 30: gone Tropamalo, like the hate watching has gone down for

1703
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 30: those teams, like you don't feel the same if they

1704
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:53,280
Speaker 30: win or lose. But for the Cowboys, they can go

1705
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:56,719
Speaker 30: four and twelve, four and thirteen this year and still

1706
01:29:56,800 --> 01:30:02,360
Speaker 30: make headlines, still make them the prime time games Monday, Thursday,

1707
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:08,120
Speaker 30: Sunday and be the a block on Supports Center, win

1708
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:12,120
Speaker 30: or lose and find a way. Other teams can't do that.

1709
01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 30: With the Chiefs, yes, they can go for a three peat.

1710
01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:19,680
Speaker 30: But the Cowboys talking about war this offseason despite that.

1711
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:23,320
Speaker 30: So I think then making the headlines being good or

1712
01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 30: bad plays a role in that, and people hating them

1713
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,639
Speaker 30: despite that plays role.

1714
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 2: And yes, our hot dog Eaters legit athletes.

1715
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 30: Grandell No, I don't think so seeing here about the

1716
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:45,720
Speaker 30: training and stuff like that, and they're truly competitors, but.

1717
01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 2: Not I like that competitors. They're competitors, but not athletes.

1718
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:56,720
Speaker 2: Good stuff, grandled Just so everybody knows NFL films, which

1719
01:30:57,200 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 2: became legendary thanks to the great tandem of Ed Sable

1720
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:03,479
Speaker 2: the Father and Steve Sable the Son. Just brilliant men

1721
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:06,680
Speaker 2: beyond their way, ahead of their time. They had an

1722
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:08,720
Speaker 2: editor in chief by the way back then by the

1723
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:10,560
Speaker 2: name of Bob Ryan, not the same Bob Ryan with

1724
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:13,920
Speaker 2: the Boston Globe, but Bob Ryan. And when he created

1725
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:16,600
Speaker 2: that highlight reel called America's Team, which I believe you

1726
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:20,479
Speaker 2: can easily find on YouTube in nineteen seventy eight, Dallas Cowboys,

1727
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:23,400
Speaker 2: he explained. Bob Ryan explained that he said, when I

1728
01:31:23,520 --> 01:31:26,920
Speaker 2: was doing my research all of these away games, I

1729
01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:29,920
Speaker 2: saw Cowboy fans in away games. I'm thinking of myself,

1730
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:32,519
Speaker 2: they're the most popular team in the country. Hence they

1731
01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 2: must be America's team. Again, that was nineteen seventy eight,

1732
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:38,120
Speaker 2: but still more people watch Cowboys games, and you know

1733
01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:40,920
Speaker 2: they weren't all rooting for him this year. Just a thought.

1734
01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:42,960
Speaker 2: Mark Grahms are your thoughts on this.

1735
01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:46,720
Speaker 25: When it comes to the Cowboys, you can hear my

1736
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:51,040
Speaker 25: bias when I say they haven't been America's team since

1737
01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:53,559
Speaker 25: the Chicago Bears beat them in the eighty five eighty

1738
01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:57,080
Speaker 25: six season, So that's over, long, long gone.

1739
01:31:57,800 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 2: Even though they're the most watched.

1740
01:31:59,280 --> 01:32:01,559
Speaker 9: You can hear my bias when they good.

1741
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:03,560
Speaker 25: When they beat their brakes off in that game, it

1742
01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 25: was all they did.

1743
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:06,479
Speaker 1: And when it comes I.

1744
01:32:06,479 --> 01:32:08,800
Speaker 2: Love your historical perspectives, man, they're always good.

1745
01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:09,040
Speaker 14: I know.

1746
01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 9: It's so strange any and then not strange.

1747
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:12,679
Speaker 2: That's texture.

1748
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:13,240
Speaker 6: I know.

1749
01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:15,599
Speaker 25: I know because just watching that game and just how

1750
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:18,840
Speaker 25: powerful the Bears were at that time versus what you know,

1751
01:32:19,680 --> 01:32:22,439
Speaker 25: the two teams are just these great, big, you know,

1752
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:27,360
Speaker 25: gigantic teams. But the Cowboys, it's it's like a like

1753
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 25: like they've been saying a selling port. That's how they're

1754
01:32:30,479 --> 01:32:35,560
Speaker 25: branded as America's team. As a team they've been obviously

1755
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:37,320
Speaker 25: faltering for the longest time.

1756
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:39,600
Speaker 9: When it comes to competitive way what.

1757
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 2: It's worth Just just so people know that game is

1758
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:45,800
Speaker 2: played right before Christmas, and uh, the Bears led twenty

1759
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:48,160
Speaker 2: four to nothing and then took their foot off the gas.

1760
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:49,680
Speaker 2: It won twenty four to ten and that was a

1761
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:53,000
Speaker 2: Tom Landry coach team. All right, hot dogs, my friend,

1762
01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:54,000
Speaker 2: we gotta get the hot dogs.

1763
01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 25: I don't think it's competitive. And one of the calls

1764
01:32:57,240 --> 01:33:00,160
Speaker 25: took my thunder when he said it's carnival. It's like,

1765
01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:04,559
Speaker 25: I don't know how it became what it is now,

1766
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:07,120
Speaker 25: but it just seems like it could have started off

1767
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:09,800
Speaker 25: as at a carnival and you walk up and if

1768
01:33:09,800 --> 01:33:12,080
Speaker 25: you could eat the most pies in this amount of time,

1769
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:15,840
Speaker 25: you could win a prize. It's not like it's a

1770
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:19,120
Speaker 25: team sport and there's playoffs and then things like that.

1771
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:21,200
Speaker 2: Though, think about what you just said in the beginning,

1772
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:23,680
Speaker 2: How did it become this? Yeah, baseball kind of has

1773
01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:25,600
Speaker 2: a Walter Midi aspect to it. People say, well, I

1774
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:27,639
Speaker 2: could do that the second base in literly, but people

1775
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:29,639
Speaker 2: look at this and go, oh my god, I couldn't

1776
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:31,880
Speaker 2: do that. You're the earlier caller. I think it was Lynn.

1777
01:33:32,040 --> 01:33:33,519
Speaker 2: He said, hey, man, I'm gonna have that eat two

1778
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:37,240
Speaker 2: hot dogs. I can't walk. There's something about this contest.

1779
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:41,040
Speaker 2: Thirty five thousand people attendant in person, million's watch. We're

1780
01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:44,600
Speaker 2: talking about it sponsorship money. So anyway, that's kind of

1781
01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:46,920
Speaker 2: how it got started. I think it captured the imagination

1782
01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:49,960
Speaker 2: of people because like, how the hell do you do this? Sorry? Mark,

1783
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:50,439
Speaker 2: continue on.

1784
01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:53,320
Speaker 25: Yeah, more of a competition of what one person can do,

1785
01:33:53,520 --> 01:33:55,840
Speaker 25: you know, at a time, how many how many of

1786
01:33:55,920 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 25: these can you eat? That becomes a competition versus you know,

1787
01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:04,800
Speaker 25: athlete training for this, and then there's playoffs, and then

1788
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:08,600
Speaker 25: there's you know, a settling game to make sure that

1789
01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 25: they're the champion of that particular sport.

1790
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:14,960
Speaker 2: Good stuff, chef, you wrap it up. What do we

1791
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:16,760
Speaker 2: got Cowboys America's team?

1792
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 14: Yes or no?

1793
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:18,320
Speaker 9: Absolutely not?

1794
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:21,960
Speaker 8: And because I think Ian actually said it right before

1795
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:24,519
Speaker 8: I did, right before I am right now, which is,

1796
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:27,320
Speaker 8: you can't be America's team if everyone hates you, or

1797
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:29,760
Speaker 8: if most of the country hates you. Being America's team

1798
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:33,320
Speaker 8: requires the nation kind of being behind you and hoping

1799
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:36,320
Speaker 8: for you to win. And that's not something I've ever experienced.

1800
01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:38,600
Speaker 8: The Cowboys being one, they haven't really won much in

1801
01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:40,880
Speaker 8: my lifetime. I think I was four years old the

1802
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:43,680
Speaker 8: last time I they won a Super Bowl, So they

1803
01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 8: really haven't accomplished much to get the country behind them

1804
01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:49,599
Speaker 8: and much of their America's Team, in fact, their entire

1805
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:53,799
Speaker 8: America's team persona has been completely self made. They marketed

1806
01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:57,280
Speaker 8: themselves that way. You have Jara going around marketing themselves

1807
01:34:57,360 --> 01:35:00,640
Speaker 8: that way. They talk a lot about how everyone behind them,

1808
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:04,439
Speaker 8: and yet when it comes to the actual games being played,

1809
01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:06,599
Speaker 8: everyone's tuning in against them, and to me, you cannot

1810
01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:08,160
Speaker 8: be American in Yeah.

1811
01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I accept that. I accept that just because they're

1812
01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:13,760
Speaker 2: tuning in, and I think Ian kind of touched upon

1813
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:16,880
Speaker 2: this as well, just because everybody's watching doesn't mean they're

1814
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:20,280
Speaker 2: America's team real quickly, hot Dog Eaters, Kevin are the athletes?

1815
01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:25,120
Speaker 8: Yes, because it takes physical still, physical skill, physical ability,

1816
01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:26,200
Speaker 8: physical stamina.

1817
01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:28,960
Speaker 1: I know it's not you know, and well, actually it

1818
01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:29,840
Speaker 1: is an endurance race.

1819
01:35:29,880 --> 01:35:32,400
Speaker 9: I'll say that it also involves endurance.

1820
01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:33,360
Speaker 2: So aredioascular, etc.

1821
01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:36,519
Speaker 8: It's not a sport in the way you think of it,

1822
01:35:36,800 --> 01:35:39,439
Speaker 8: but many of the things that a typical athlete is

1823
01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:43,600
Speaker 8: required to do is needed in order to be successful

1824
01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:46,560
Speaker 8: a competitive eating So for that reason, even if it

1825
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 8: is kind of a carnival event, I'll call them an athlete.

1826
01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 2: Well, it used the word too that I would endorse endurance.

1827
01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:58,679
Speaker 2: So just really exceptional conversations tonight, all the way around.

1828
01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:02,479
Speaker 2: I wish I could remember half of some of the

1829
01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:05,559
Speaker 2: terminology people used, but there were really very many good

1830
01:36:05,720 --> 01:36:10,760
Speaker 2: descriptive terms to describe what this whole hot dog geting

1831
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:13,320
Speaker 2: competition involves and the people behind it. And I think

1832
01:36:13,400 --> 01:36:17,840
Speaker 2: some really thoughtful insights as to the cowboy phenomenon, the

1833
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:22,400
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys phenomenon, and you know, someone invoked the Raiders

1834
01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:25,200
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers and just

1835
01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:28,479
Speaker 2: very thoughtful stuff. That's why we do this the midnight

1836
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:31,920
Speaker 2: hour every Friday night at midnight Pacific time on the

1837
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:34,639
Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle Show. We get a chance for people away

1838
01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:37,120
Speaker 2: in There is no right or wrong, there are no

1839
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:40,840
Speaker 2: winners and losers in this argument. It's basically an opportunity

1840
01:36:41,560 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 2: to examine, you know, the sociological aspect of these phenomenons

1841
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,680
Speaker 2: that make America what it is in the melting pot

1842
01:36:48,760 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 2: that it is so interesting stuff. And we'll have a

1843
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:53,880
Speaker 2: couple of real good topics coming up next to Friday

1844
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:56,360
Speaker 2: Night as well. Coming up, there's a term you've been

1845
01:36:56,479 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 2: hearing all week the NBA, the second April and the

1846
01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:01,760
Speaker 2: second April. All right, I'm gonna explain to you what

1847
01:37:01,840 --> 01:37:03,800
Speaker 2: it is, how it came about and the purpose it

1848
01:37:03,960 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 2: serves because there's a reason. There's a reason, and it's

1849
01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:12,560
Speaker 2: connected to the most recent NBA collective bargaining agreements. So

1850
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:15,680
Speaker 2: when you hear that churt next time, hopefully you'll have

1851
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:18,920
Speaker 2: some perspective and understand what it means. I'm Bernie Frattle.

1852
01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:21,559
Speaker 2: We are comedy live from the Las Vegas Fox Sports

1853
01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:24,240
Speaker 2: Radio Tiret dot com studios. Keep it locked right here.

1854
01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:26,759
Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1855
01:37:28,200 --> 01:37:30,439
Speaker 2: All right, back on the Bernie Frattle Show, Fox Sports

1856
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:34,000
Speaker 2: Radio Company live through tyrat dot com studios here in

1857
01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:37,240
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. I want to think the callers once again

1858
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:42,880
Speaker 2: for their outstanding perspectives and insights and opinions on whether

1859
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:46,200
Speaker 2: or not the Cowboys remain America's team, and of course

1860
01:37:46,240 --> 01:37:51,040
Speaker 2: whether or not competitive eaters like Joey Chesnunt are actually athletes.

1861
01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:54,799
Speaker 2: All Right, it's been a rousing week for the NBA.

1862
01:37:56,120 --> 01:37:58,679
Speaker 2: Lots of free agent signings, lots of movement, of course,

1863
01:37:58,800 --> 01:38:01,040
Speaker 2: lakers in the in the news Klay Thompson and the

1864
01:38:01,120 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 2: news right on down the line. And what has happened

1865
01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:09,920
Speaker 2: now because the latest collective bargaining agreement instituted a new

1866
01:38:11,240 --> 01:38:14,840
Speaker 2: feature that impacts the salary cap and team spending. You

1867
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:18,800
Speaker 2: keep hearing this term the second apron, All right, what

1868
01:38:19,040 --> 01:38:23,519
Speaker 2: is the second apron? But the second apron was designed

1869
01:38:23,560 --> 01:38:27,200
Speaker 2: to make penalties more punishing for teams that spend above

1870
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:30,360
Speaker 2: the luxury tax, which a lot of teams do. Theoretically,

1871
01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:33,479
Speaker 2: the idea is to try to shrink the gap between

1872
01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:36,000
Speaker 2: the big spending teams and the small market teams when

1873
01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:39,640
Speaker 2: it comes to constructing a roster. So let's take a

1874
01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:42,519
Speaker 2: look at the salary cap. To start, the salary cap

1875
01:38:42,600 --> 01:38:44,519
Speaker 2: is one hundred and thirty six million dollars per team

1876
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:48,439
Speaker 2: this past season. The luxury tax is one sixty five.

1877
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 2: The first apron was one hundred and seventy two million,

1878
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:55,360
Speaker 2: which we already had, and the second apron now begins

1879
01:38:55,400 --> 01:38:58,240
Speaker 2: at one hundred and eighty two million. So the salary cap,

1880
01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:00,360
Speaker 2: that's the amount of money every team has a just

1881
01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:02,640
Speaker 2: bend on the roster. You know what that means. But

1882
01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:05,519
Speaker 2: teams can go over the salary cap by using salary

1883
01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:10,120
Speaker 2: cap exceptions. For instance, the Larry Bird rule was created

1884
01:39:10,200 --> 01:39:12,560
Speaker 2: many many years ago so that a team would have

1885
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:15,400
Speaker 2: the autonomy and freedom to sign one of their own

1886
01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:18,519
Speaker 2: players and not lose them even if they had to

1887
01:39:18,560 --> 01:39:21,040
Speaker 2: go over the cap. In other words, you got a

1888
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:22,760
Speaker 2: star that's a free agent, you don't want to lose

1889
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:24,920
Speaker 2: them caause someone else will pay more. You can retain

1890
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:27,760
Speaker 2: your own free agent. Most teams go way over the

1891
01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:29,880
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty six million dollars salary cap when

1892
01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:32,640
Speaker 2: they use those exceptions like the Larry Bird rules, so

1893
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 2: you can keep your current talent, But they still try

1894
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:38,120
Speaker 2: to stay under the threshold, which is the one hundred

1895
01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:41,000
Speaker 2: and sixty five million dollar luxury tax line, because that's

1896
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:45,400
Speaker 2: where penalties begin. Peditalties begin on that line. They start

1897
01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:48,920
Speaker 2: out as financial fines, and those moneies are distributed to

1898
01:39:49,040 --> 01:39:51,760
Speaker 2: the non tax baying teams in the NBA at the

1899
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:54,320
Speaker 2: end of the year. But as you get deeper and

1900
01:39:54,400 --> 01:40:00,280
Speaker 2: deeper into the weeds and your payroll goes up, approach

1901
01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:04,360
Speaker 2: an apron where roster building penalties are added in. So

1902
01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:06,960
Speaker 2: the first apron is when a team hits one hundred

1903
01:40:06,960 --> 01:40:10,000
Speaker 2: and seventy two million. At that point, teams cannot acquire

1904
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:13,320
Speaker 2: a player and to sign a trade. Teams cannot sign

1905
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:16,760
Speaker 2: a player waived during the regular season whose salary was

1906
01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:18,800
Speaker 2: over twelve and a half million, which is the mid

1907
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:23,080
Speaker 2: level exception plus the salary matchigan. Trades must be within

1908
01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:25,679
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten percent rather than the one hundred

1909
01:40:25,680 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 2: and twenty five percent for teams that are not above

1910
01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:31,320
Speaker 2: the apron. Here's where it gets dicey. What are the

1911
01:40:31,400 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 2: penalties for the second apron? Well, first of all, all

1912
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:37,639
Speaker 2: the penalties for the first apron apply to the second apron,

1913
01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:41,400
Speaker 2: but it triggers when a team salary hits on an

1914
01:40:41,479 --> 01:40:45,519
Speaker 2: eighty two point five million, so there's an additional penalty added.

1915
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:48,839
Speaker 2: When you cross the second apron. There is no access

1916
01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:51,720
Speaker 2: to the five million dollar taxpayer mid level exception, and

1917
01:40:51,800 --> 01:40:53,880
Speaker 2: starting at the end of this season, there are going

1918
01:40:53,960 --> 01:40:56,519
Speaker 2: to be even more restrictions that are going to be

1919
01:40:56,640 --> 01:40:59,320
Speaker 2: added to the second apron. Like a team cannot use

1920
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:02,880
Speaker 2: a trade except if you've generated by aggregating the salaries

1921
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:06,080
Speaker 2: of multiple players, which is something NBA teams too. Teams

1922
01:41:06,120 --> 01:41:08,960
Speaker 2: cannot include catch and a trade. Teams cannot use a

1923
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:12,439
Speaker 2: trade exception generated in a prior year. First round picks

1924
01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:15,320
Speaker 2: that are seven years out are frozen, meaning you can't

1925
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:17,920
Speaker 2: trade them. How often you hear this trade where well,

1926
01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:19,599
Speaker 2: the Lakers trade and so and so over blah blah

1927
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:21,599
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, and they traded their first round pick

1928
01:41:21,600 --> 01:41:23,320
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty nine. You're not going to be able

1929
01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:26,679
Speaker 2: to do that. A team's first round pick is moved

1930
01:41:26,680 --> 01:41:28,719
Speaker 2: to the end of the first round if you remain

1931
01:41:28,800 --> 01:41:31,400
Speaker 2: in the second apron for three out of five seasons.

1932
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:35,160
Speaker 2: So these may not sound like a lot to you,

1933
01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:39,160
Speaker 2: but these penalties are a lot more stringent than under

1934
01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:42,960
Speaker 2: the old CBA. What is this going to do? Well,

1935
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:46,400
Speaker 2: You've got a situation that you know with owners that

1936
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:49,000
Speaker 2: have deep pockets who are willing to go well into

1937
01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:52,120
Speaker 2: the luxury tax because they were willing to pay. Now,

1938
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:55,120
Speaker 2: when you enter that second apron, if you do that well,

1939
01:41:55,400 --> 01:41:59,719
Speaker 2: you're going to be significantly curtailed by adding any new talents,

1940
01:42:00,160 --> 01:42:03,840
Speaker 2: substantial talent via trades or free agent acquisitions if you

1941
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:09,040
Speaker 2: cross over into that second apron threshold. So the bottom line,

1942
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:11,080
Speaker 2: you may be willing to buy your way out of

1943
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:14,280
Speaker 2: it before, but you can't. Now that's the idea behind

1944
01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:17,040
Speaker 2: the second Apron, which I guarantee you you'll hear three

1945
01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:21,200
Speaker 2: times again before lunch on Monday. Coming up, we got

1946
01:42:21,280 --> 01:42:24,920
Speaker 2: christ Prophet's World of Soccer the US men's team lays

1947
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:27,599
Speaker 2: another egg. No sense beaten around the bush. But first

1948
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:30,160
Speaker 2: we go back to our guy, the chef, Kevin Figured

1949
01:42:30,280 --> 01:42:32,040
Speaker 2: or check that Kevin Wire with lace.

1950
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:34,519
Speaker 9: Yeah, we do have some soccer. We did have some soccer.

1951
01:42:34,640 --> 01:42:38,479
Speaker 8: On a Friday, Venezuela Canada in Copa America was the

1952
01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 8: quarterfinal round. That match played to a one to one draw,

1953
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:45,000
Speaker 8: as the Canadians did advance though on a four to

1954
01:42:45,080 --> 01:42:47,560
Speaker 8: three advantage in the penalty kicks, so they will go

1955
01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:53,719
Speaker 8: to the semifinals and face Argentina. As for the national pastime,

1956
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:56,080
Speaker 8: despite being the day after the Fourth of July, plenty

1957
01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:58,200
Speaker 8: of fireworks, in fact, they ran out of them. In

1958
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:01,880
Speaker 8: Pittsburgh because of Pirates hit seven home runs and route

1959
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:04,679
Speaker 8: to a fourteen to two demolishment of the New York Mets.

1960
01:43:04,720 --> 01:43:07,519
Speaker 8: To help back Paul Skimes seven innings, two runs, allowed,

1961
01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:10,439
Speaker 8: eight strikeouts. He's now five to zero on the season

1962
01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:13,200
Speaker 8: with an ERA a two point one two. A sensational

1963
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:17,960
Speaker 8: rookie campaign continues elsewhere in Major League Baseball. The Diamondbacks

1964
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 8: the race a five run deficit in the ninth inning,

1965
01:43:21,160 --> 01:43:24,040
Speaker 8: only for Manny Machado to come through and win it

1966
01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:26,000
Speaker 8: in the bottom of the nine for San Diego to

1967
01:43:26,080 --> 01:43:29,320
Speaker 8: give the Padres a ten to eight victory. The Dodgers

1968
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:32,559
Speaker 8: get three home runs from Will Smith to help power

1969
01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:35,280
Speaker 8: them past the Milwaukee Brewers eight to five. Mariners and

1970
01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:39,120
Speaker 8: Blue Jay Seattle edges Toronto two to one up. The

1971
01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:43,920
Speaker 8: Astros beat the Twins thirteen to twelve. The Boston Red Sox,

1972
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:47,439
Speaker 8: handing their heated rival, the New York Yankees their fourth

1973
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:51,200
Speaker 8: of straight loss, going to extra innings, where they win

1974
01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:54,280
Speaker 8: it five to three. Cardinals Nationals also go to extra.

1975
01:43:54,439 --> 01:43:56,960
Speaker 8: Saint Louis went at seven to six in eleven that

1976
01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:59,839
Speaker 8: they started off at Wrigley Field. The Cubs beat the Angels,

1977
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:03,439
Speaker 8: White Sox over the Marlins three two, Giants top the

1978
01:44:03,479 --> 01:44:06,880
Speaker 8: Guardians four two, and the Tigers get by the Reds

1979
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:09,439
Speaker 8: five to four. The Phillies, the best team in baseball,

1980
01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:11,640
Speaker 8: improved to fifty eight and thirty. They take down the

1981
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:15,599
Speaker 8: Reds eight to six. The defending champion Texas Rangers shut

1982
01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:21,280
Speaker 8: out the Rays three to nothing in the WNBA three games.

1983
01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:24,360
Speaker 8: On Friday Night, Wings hold off the Dream eighty five

1984
01:44:24,520 --> 01:44:27,360
Speaker 8: eighty two. The Sparks top the Aces ninety eight ninety three.

1985
01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:30,840
Speaker 8: In the Sky beat the storm eighty eight to eighty four.

1986
01:44:31,120 --> 01:44:31,759
Speaker 8: Back to you, Bernie.

1987
01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:35,639
Speaker 2: All right, Jeff, We'll see us Saturday night. Bud warm

1988
01:44:35,720 --> 01:44:40,519
Speaker 2: those vocal cords up. All right? Another major disappointment for

1989
01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:44,960
Speaker 2: the US men's national soccer team and coach Greg Berghalter.

1990
01:44:45,560 --> 01:44:48,240
Speaker 2: There's no point in sugarcoating. And that's why we bring

1991
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:50,600
Speaker 2: you Chris Purffetts World of Soccer.

1992
01:44:51,800 --> 01:45:02,280
Speaker 31: The greatest schools, the thrilling finishes, the international drum.

1993
01:45:07,640 --> 01:45:11,040
Speaker 1: It's all here in this report from the World of Soccer.

1994
01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:12,479
Speaker 9: Where do we start, Bernie?

1995
01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:14,600
Speaker 32: I feel like I want to follow the words of

1996
01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:16,760
Speaker 32: Ben Maller that the best stories are in the losing

1997
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:17,280
Speaker 32: locker room.

1998
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:18,400
Speaker 9: We could talk about Spain.

1999
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:20,880
Speaker 32: We could talk about how they have five straight wins

2000
01:45:20,960 --> 01:45:23,479
Speaker 32: the first time ever getting over the hosts of Germany.

2001
01:45:23,600 --> 01:45:26,280
Speaker 32: That's a fantastic and I love what Spain has done.

2002
01:45:26,360 --> 01:45:29,639
Speaker 32: I love what France has done. In euros euro ratings

2003
01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 32: are skyrocketing. European Championship is the most watched, one of

2004
01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:37,920
Speaker 32: the most watched things of the summer, and it is remarkable.

2005
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:38,479
Speaker 1: On Fox.

2006
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:42,519
Speaker 32: I would like to talk about Christiano Ronaldo and the

2007
01:45:42,640 --> 01:45:47,880
Speaker 32: poor performance he has shown in European Championship, including a

2008
01:45:48,200 --> 01:45:53,479
Speaker 32: very grim refusal to be on the field and comfort

2009
01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:57,640
Speaker 32: Waho Felix after his miss the only Portuguese player to

2010
01:45:57,760 --> 01:46:03,080
Speaker 32: miss penalty kicks, which leaves leads them to exit European

2011
01:46:03,200 --> 01:46:06,640
Speaker 32: Championship against France. Every other Portuguese player came over there

2012
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 32: to comfort Felix. It was a remarkable scene, but Rinaldo

2013
01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:14,080
Speaker 32: was headed completely for the exits at that time. Rinaldo,

2014
01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:17,400
Speaker 32: of course, had been missing penalties earlier in this competition,

2015
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:21,439
Speaker 32: and Rinaldo's arrogance is kind of the reason Portugal is

2016
01:46:21,680 --> 01:46:26,120
Speaker 32: leaving European Championship, rather than his spot going to someone

2017
01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:28,519
Speaker 32: more younger, more youthful. In a lot of this team

2018
01:46:28,600 --> 01:46:31,960
Speaker 32: still acquiescing to the demands of Ronaldo. But no, I

2019
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:33,880
Speaker 32: won't even have time for that. I'm going to leave

2020
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:36,439
Speaker 32: that right here. I'm going to just talk about the

2021
01:46:36,560 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 32: US men's team. And I know we've talked about the

2022
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:42,280
Speaker 32: US men's team a lot, but this is a disaster.

2023
01:46:42,720 --> 01:46:46,800
Speaker 32: This is an unmitigated disaster. We talked about what they

2024
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:49,640
Speaker 32: had it to do, had to do against Uruguay to

2025
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:53,320
Speaker 32: move on the knockout round of Copa America, and Uruguay

2026
01:46:53,439 --> 01:46:56,479
Speaker 32: put the US men's team right back in their place.

2027
01:46:57,080 --> 01:47:00,840
Speaker 32: Panama is moving on to the knockout round. Canada is

2028
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:04,760
Speaker 32: moving onto the knockout round. Canada is moving onto that round.

2029
01:47:05,160 --> 01:47:09,920
Speaker 32: The US is going home in a competition they host

2030
01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:14,840
Speaker 32: in stadiums that were their fans, Everything was in their favor,

2031
01:47:15,200 --> 01:47:22,040
Speaker 32: and two losses, two losses superseded that Bolivia opener win

2032
01:47:22,400 --> 01:47:25,040
Speaker 32: that everyone went nuts about and started talking about the talent,

2033
01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:28,840
Speaker 32: And it really reinforces these past two wins. The worst

2034
01:47:28,960 --> 01:47:33,040
Speaker 32: aspects of the US men's team Number one, their ability

2035
01:47:33,120 --> 01:47:37,960
Speaker 32: to get stimmied by Conka calf opponents. Since October twenty first,

2036
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:42,040
Speaker 32: twenty twenty one, the US has only won once against

2037
01:47:42,080 --> 01:47:45,800
Speaker 32: Panama in four competitions, two losses and a draw that

2038
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:49,680
Speaker 32: resulted in a loss on penalties. And Uruguay one of

2039
01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:53,400
Speaker 32: the top hottest teams coming into Copa America. And I've

2040
01:47:53,520 --> 01:47:58,040
Speaker 32: heard constantly about Greg Berhalter's record against the best nations

2041
01:47:58,080 --> 01:48:01,840
Speaker 32: out there, about how in all these competitions, how his

2042
01:48:02,000 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 32: teams rise to the moment. They well, they didn't rise

2043
01:48:04,600 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 32: to it against Uruguay. They certainly didn't rise to it

2044
01:48:07,320 --> 01:48:09,200
Speaker 32: when all they need to do is match Panama on

2045
01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:12,360
Speaker 32: points when Uruguay had no reason to bowl them over,

2046
01:48:12,479 --> 01:48:15,200
Speaker 32: and yet Uruguay bowled them over. This is a team

2047
01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:18,719
Speaker 32: that looks completely lost when they can control the ball.

2048
01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:21,640
Speaker 32: This is a team whose touches in the midfield, and

2049
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:24,680
Speaker 32: any soccer expert will tell you that the midfield is

2050
01:48:24,720 --> 01:48:27,600
Speaker 32: where you live and die as a soccer team have

2051
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:30,600
Speaker 32: gone completely off the reservation.

2052
01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:32,840
Speaker 9: Down, down, down.

2053
01:48:33,360 --> 01:48:35,840
Speaker 32: It is bleak right now, and it has brought out

2054
01:48:35,920 --> 01:48:39,280
Speaker 32: everyone to scramble and really do some soul searching.

2055
01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:41,639
Speaker 9: Not just about this US men's team.

2056
01:48:41,760 --> 01:48:43,679
Speaker 32: There's a lots of soul searching to be done there

2057
01:48:43,760 --> 01:48:46,599
Speaker 32: about why the talent that is supposed to be greater

2058
01:48:46,760 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 32: than the previous generation isn't showing up. Where's Jovanni Reina.

2059
01:48:50,920 --> 01:48:55,080
Speaker 32: Where's Christian Pulisich, the supposed leader. Why is Maalagan, a

2060
01:48:55,200 --> 01:48:56,880
Speaker 32: man who's only been on the team since May, the

2061
01:48:56,960 --> 01:48:59,400
Speaker 32: one with most of the goals in this tournament?

2062
01:48:59,680 --> 01:49:01,360
Speaker 9: Where is this? Where is that?

2063
01:49:01,479 --> 01:49:04,760
Speaker 32: Why did Timothy Way draw a red card? But it

2064
01:49:04,920 --> 01:49:09,240
Speaker 32: also has brought on questions about, say, the entire US

2065
01:49:09,360 --> 01:49:12,720
Speaker 32: Federation and how they're going to probably backber Halter in

2066
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:19,479
Speaker 32: spite of a massive declining, declining output in in success

2067
01:49:19,840 --> 01:49:22,760
Speaker 32: and it's even coming on a referendum about how the

2068
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:26,960
Speaker 32: culture of soccer is in the United States itself. I

2069
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:30,360
Speaker 32: have heard many people start to talk once again, including

2070
01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:32,679
Speaker 32: on Fox Sports Fox Sports Radio.

2071
01:49:33,200 --> 01:49:35,200
Speaker 9: About the nature of travel soccer.

2072
01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:37,800
Speaker 32: Are we even getting the best talent in sports in

2073
01:49:37,920 --> 01:49:42,320
Speaker 32: this country to come play soccer? And we are realizing

2074
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:45,080
Speaker 32: that as long as you are charging one thousand dollars

2075
01:49:45,120 --> 01:49:48,920
Speaker 32: a year, you are probably not. No football isn't taking

2076
01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:52,400
Speaker 32: away the best soccer talent America can offer. No baseball

2077
01:49:52,520 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 32: and basketball aren't taking away the best talent soccer could offer.

2078
01:49:56,600 --> 01:49:59,160
Speaker 32: Let me tell you something, Lionel Messi is not playing

2079
01:49:59,200 --> 01:50:01,120
Speaker 32: in the NFL at five foot four.

2080
01:50:01,520 --> 01:50:02,800
Speaker 9: That talent is out there.

2081
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:07,519
Speaker 32: But as many other countries, including England, have discovered, when

2082
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:13,120
Speaker 32: you put price tags on soccer, it completely destroys access

2083
01:50:13,479 --> 01:50:16,920
Speaker 32: to those teams. England realized that their dominance in the

2084
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 32: sport was completely at at peril if they did not

2085
01:50:21,600 --> 01:50:26,240
Speaker 32: start to subsidize more their their federation. They realized that

2086
01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:28,960
Speaker 32: it had to be free and open to people to

2087
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:31,280
Speaker 32: come in and that is not something that exists in

2088
01:50:31,360 --> 01:50:33,880
Speaker 32: the US. We completely cut out the working class, We

2089
01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:38,000
Speaker 32: completely cutting out the lower income classes when it comes

2090
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:41,640
Speaker 32: to access to youth soccer in this country, and that

2091
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:47,920
Speaker 32: has long reaching implications, twenty plus year implications that the

2092
01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:52,639
Speaker 32: US is reaping right now, and it is exhausting. It's

2093
01:50:52,680 --> 01:50:55,439
Speaker 32: exhausting to come here once again, and a loss like

2094
01:50:55,520 --> 01:50:59,000
Speaker 32: this becomes exhausting dealing with soccer skeptics, people who will

2095
01:50:59,080 --> 01:51:02,360
Speaker 32: dacktly smug and talk about how the US will never

2096
01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:05,799
Speaker 32: be a soccer nation because we don't like this strange,

2097
01:51:05,880 --> 01:51:09,400
Speaker 32: weird foreign sport. That is completely wrong and that is

2098
01:51:09,920 --> 01:51:14,400
Speaker 32: disproven completely as you look at these skyrocketing.

2099
01:51:13,720 --> 01:51:17,200
Speaker 9: Ratings for European champions on Fox.

2100
01:51:17,840 --> 01:51:19,760
Speaker 32: But a loss like this brings all the people out

2101
01:51:19,800 --> 01:51:22,240
Speaker 32: of the woodwork, and it is a It is a

2102
01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:26,160
Speaker 32: bunch of smug grandpas sitting around talking about this strange

2103
01:51:26,200 --> 01:51:28,120
Speaker 32: little sport, how it will never catch on.

2104
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:29,800
Speaker 9: It is this, that and the other thing.

2105
01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:33,000
Speaker 32: And it's exhausting dealing with those people because they're just

2106
01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:36,000
Speaker 32: not serious. They're not serious about anything. But you know

2107
01:51:36,040 --> 01:51:38,680
Speaker 32: who's also not serious is this US men's team to

2108
01:51:38,760 --> 01:51:42,679
Speaker 32: actually show you some success Americans. And I am quoting

2109
01:51:42,720 --> 01:51:44,920
Speaker 32: from Joe Dumars talking who talked to me about the

2110
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:47,960
Speaker 32: Detroit sports scene one time Joe Dumars, the Detroit bad

2111
01:51:48,040 --> 01:51:50,519
Speaker 32: boy turned general manager who brought them a championship in

2112
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:53,120
Speaker 32: two thousand and four. It's not that they're front runners,

2113
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:56,519
Speaker 32: but they will only respect you if you can put

2114
01:51:56,560 --> 01:51:59,640
Speaker 32: a winner on the field, and the US team refuses

2115
01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 32: to do so. Once again, to talk about how this

2116
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:06,400
Speaker 32: team could have been so much more, it's exhausting to

2117
01:52:06,520 --> 01:52:09,840
Speaker 32: talk about how the US Soccer Federation is a good

2118
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:12,120
Speaker 32: old boys club that will look at this loss by

2119
01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:15,719
Speaker 32: Greg Burhlter and maybe there's a change between before twenty

2120
01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:19,880
Speaker 32: twenty six that everyone sees as desperately needed in this

2121
01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:23,160
Speaker 32: team's identity, certainly in some of the players that are

2122
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:26,320
Speaker 32: on the field. But to be honest, people who cover

2123
01:52:26,479 --> 01:52:30,760
Speaker 32: this sport are just crestfallen at this idea that's not

2124
01:52:31,160 --> 01:52:34,920
Speaker 32: going to happen, and that is brutal. That will kill

2125
01:52:35,080 --> 01:52:39,439
Speaker 32: things more than anything else in this country for the sport,

2126
01:52:39,760 --> 01:52:44,040
Speaker 32: and it will kill the love of US soccer for everyone,

2127
01:52:44,880 --> 01:52:47,160
Speaker 32: for everyone. I can't trust these guys. I can't trust

2128
01:52:47,240 --> 01:52:50,200
Speaker 32: this team right now that I am watching, I don't

2129
01:52:50,280 --> 01:52:53,920
Speaker 32: know who they are. I don't they refuse to play

2130
01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:58,000
Speaker 32: up to their competition they refuse to show bite, and

2131
01:52:58,120 --> 01:53:00,599
Speaker 32: as soon as they are a ball pas session team

2132
01:53:00,640 --> 01:53:03,280
Speaker 32: and as soon as they can't control the ball, they

2133
01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:05,679
Speaker 32: seem to shrivel up and curl up in the corner.

2134
01:53:05,840 --> 01:53:09,960
Speaker 32: I can't I can't respect that. I just cannot and

2135
01:53:10,040 --> 01:53:14,479
Speaker 32: I cannot respect a coach who remains here after multiple high,

2136
01:53:14,720 --> 01:53:18,160
Speaker 32: high profile losses the way he has. I mentioned Panama

2137
01:53:18,280 --> 01:53:20,800
Speaker 32: that that loss and penalties that was for the Gold Cup.

2138
01:53:21,800 --> 01:53:25,400
Speaker 32: All right, you've you've let Panama remove you from major

2139
01:53:25,840 --> 01:53:33,600
Speaker 32: competitions twice. Now, that's that's unacceptable. The Jamaica draw was unacceptable.

2140
01:53:34,040 --> 01:53:36,760
Speaker 32: It's becoming more frustrating to talk about this team. It's

2141
01:53:36,760 --> 01:53:40,160
Speaker 32: becoming more frustrating to look at all the promises, all

2142
01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:42,840
Speaker 32: that people say this team should do, and then when they.

2143
01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:46,599
Speaker 9: Go out and don't do. And that is why change

2144
01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:48,120
Speaker 9: has to happen or else.

2145
01:53:49,280 --> 01:53:53,720
Speaker 32: This could be a complete footnote to people just once

2146
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:56,920
Speaker 32: again watching the European teams in this country. I'm sorry,

2147
01:53:56,920 --> 01:53:58,720
Speaker 32: I've gone along here, Bernie. We'll see you next time

2148
01:53:58,760 --> 01:53:59,519
Speaker 32: on the World of Soccer.

2149
01:54:00,240 --> 01:54:02,479
Speaker 2: Oh, there you have it. There's no way to sugarcoat it.

2150
01:54:02,600 --> 01:54:06,560
Speaker 2: We talked about that going in. There were genuine expectations

2151
01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:09,320
Speaker 2: for this team. The games are being played on our

2152
01:54:09,360 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 2: home soil. You see what people would believe to be

2153
01:54:13,160 --> 01:54:16,639
Speaker 2: inferior teams. Advancing why the United States goes home again.

2154
01:54:16,760 --> 01:54:19,639
Speaker 2: So you know, Chris kind of speculated, you know, where

2155
01:54:19,680 --> 01:54:21,400
Speaker 2: do we go from here? I don't know, home, dinner,

2156
01:54:21,439 --> 01:54:23,880
Speaker 2: maybe a show. The bottom line is this, and I

2157
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:26,559
Speaker 2: was told this back in two thousand and seven by

2158
01:54:26,600 --> 01:54:29,960
Speaker 2: someone I trust. The reason in the United States will

2159
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 2: never be a major player on the world stage with

2160
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:38,240
Speaker 2: men's soccer is because the Adrian Peterson's of the world

2161
01:54:38,720 --> 01:54:41,280
Speaker 2: play football. They don't play soccer. When we get the

2162
01:54:41,360 --> 01:54:44,160
Speaker 2: Adrian Petersons in the world that want to play soccer,

2163
01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:46,120
Speaker 2: and you start at the youth levels and grow through

2164
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:48,400
Speaker 2: high school, and they see that as their ticket to paradise.

2165
01:54:49,040 --> 01:54:52,600
Speaker 2: Only then because other nations, they're attracting their best and

2166
01:54:52,680 --> 01:54:57,960
Speaker 2: brightest and greatest athletes in soccer, not baseball or basketball

2167
01:54:58,920 --> 01:55:04,080
Speaker 2: or certainly football, well football but football spelled futbl You

2168
01:55:04,240 --> 01:55:07,120
Speaker 2: get the picture. Coming up, we wrap up the show

2169
01:55:07,880 --> 01:55:11,560
Speaker 2: and we look ahead to Saturday Night Show and a

2170
01:55:11,680 --> 01:55:14,600
Speaker 2: young lady who's getting ready to play at an All

2171
01:55:14,640 --> 01:55:18,120
Speaker 2: Star game once again shows us that class never goes

2172
01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:21,680
Speaker 2: out of style, and respect never goes out of style.

2173
01:55:22,360 --> 01:55:25,240
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that coming up. I'm Bernie Frattle. We

Speaker 2: July twentieth, the w NBA All Star game will be

01:56:24,160 --> 01:56:30,480
Speaker 2: played in Phoenix, and recently the All Star selection voting

2193
01:56:30,560 --> 01:56:35,720
Speaker 2: process terminated. It's done by a combination of fans fifty

2194
01:56:35,720 --> 01:56:39,760
Speaker 2: percent they you know, the theallying is fifty percent fan vote,

Speaker 2: five percent a national panel of broadcasters and sports writers.

2197
01:56:47,960 --> 01:56:49,840
Speaker 2: It should come to no one's surprise if we had

2198
01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:53,000
Speaker 2: twenty six hundred and thirty three people here Tuesday night

2199
01:56:53,160 --> 01:56:56,800
Speaker 2: to watch the Las Vegas as his host the Indiana Fever.

2200
01:56:57,320 --> 01:56:59,360
Speaker 2: You know why that happened. There have never been there's

2201
01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:02,760
Speaker 2: never been a wow that big ever in Tea Mobile

2202
01:57:02,800 --> 01:57:06,280
Speaker 2: Arena for any reason. We had an NHL Stanley Cup

2203
01:57:06,360 --> 01:57:07,840
Speaker 2: champion team, and I know that a rena doesn't hold

2204
01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:10,200
Speaker 2: as much for hockey. To get the point, all right,

2205
01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:13,920
Speaker 2: So Caitlin Clark finished first in fan voting with over

2206
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:17,880
Speaker 2: seven hundred thousand votes, seven thousand, seven hundred and thirty five.

2207
01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:21,320
Speaker 2: She's going to be joined by fellow rookie Andrew Reese, who's,

2208
01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:24,840
Speaker 2: by the way, having a fabulous year all these She's

2209
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:26,560
Speaker 2: a double double machine. But we already knew that. So

2210
01:57:26,640 --> 01:57:28,480
Speaker 2: they're going to be teammates and they're going to be

2211
01:57:28,600 --> 01:57:31,360
Speaker 2: playing the team that was selected for the Olympic team.

2212
01:57:31,880 --> 01:57:34,520
Speaker 2: Of course, Caitlin Clark was asked for her comment. She

2213
01:57:34,680 --> 01:57:37,360
Speaker 2: showed once again the class never goes out of style.

2214
01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:40,320
Speaker 2: Respect never goes out of style. She says, quote, I

2215
01:57:40,360 --> 01:57:42,200
Speaker 2: don't think I've ever been her teammate before, even with

2216
01:57:42,280 --> 01:57:45,120
Speaker 2: the USA Basketball or anything like that, So I know

2217
01:57:45,200 --> 01:57:46,760
Speaker 2: people are going to be excited about it, but I

2218
01:57:46,840 --> 01:57:51,560
Speaker 2: hope it doesn't take away from everybody else. Clark continued,

2219
01:57:51,600 --> 01:57:53,919
Speaker 2: She said, quote, this is a huge accomplishment for everybody

2220
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:57,880
Speaker 2: on Team USA and everybody on team WNBA. They all

2221
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:01,120
Speaker 2: deserve the same praise. I don't want to take away

2222
01:58:01,160 --> 01:58:03,040
Speaker 2: from any of that and just be the focal point

2223
01:58:03,440 --> 01:58:06,000
Speaker 2: of All Star Week, and because it's not fair to them. Honestly,

2224
01:58:06,080 --> 01:58:09,480
Speaker 2: this is something that's really hard to accomplish. Just soak

2225
01:58:09,520 --> 01:58:11,640
Speaker 2: in the experience because you never know if you're ever

2226
01:58:11,680 --> 01:58:13,080
Speaker 2: going to get back here. It'll be fun for all

2227
01:58:13,080 --> 01:58:15,560
Speaker 2: of us twenty two years old, way out of your years,

2228
01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:17,360
Speaker 2: and I want to give credit. By the way, Britney

2229
01:58:17,400 --> 01:58:23,680
Speaker 2: Griner and Ian I'm having a brain cramp. What's the

2230
01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:26,320
Speaker 2: young lady's name played at Connecticut twenty years in the league,

2231
01:58:26,920 --> 01:58:29,000
Speaker 2: the dister in the beginning, and now she said she

2232
01:58:29,080 --> 01:58:31,320
Speaker 2: gave her a hug. Well, anyway that at Chiossie, I

2233
01:58:31,360 --> 01:58:33,840
Speaker 2: knew it would come to me eventually. Yeah, So the

2234
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:36,600
Speaker 2: product continues to improve. We'll see if they make any money,

2235
01:58:36,680 --> 01:58:38,920
Speaker 2: and we'll see where it goes from here. But I

2236
01:58:39,080 --> 01:58:41,520
Speaker 2: bet you the All Star ratings on July twentieth are

2237
01:58:41,600 --> 01:58:44,240
Speaker 2: going to have massive ratings. I'll be back on these
