You're done with the w 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:30.840 n B A real quick huh? Well, yeah, we talked 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:32.520 about it and Danny g said something off you that 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.760 ranked true to me, but I won't repeat it. Oh 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.360 this sounds juicy. No, no, we're just saying hell like. 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:39.000 It's not like it. 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.160 It's just that people aren't watching the actual play on 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:41.480 the court. 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.240 Yeah, the product isn't always the best. So since the 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:45.600 star circle, I. 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.760 Mean there are obviously a lot of viewers, but not 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.800 in our circle. Yeah, that's why so many media people 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:52.600 are just leaning into the drama. 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.600 And there's always drama, there's always juicy stories, and that's 0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:56.320 what we lead with. 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.560 Millions more eyeballs were drawn to the w NBA obviously 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.400 for Kate and Clark hitting like logo three, so that 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:05.200 was never done before. Yes, some play on the court 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.880 was drawing attention. Now you have all these little side 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.640 shows going on where people are, you know, all up 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:12.840 in arms about things that aren't going on on the court. 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:15.600 But Kaitlin Clark was the reason people were watching more 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:16.240 of the WNBA. 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:19.800 But I'm guilty, Sam, guilty because you're feeding into it. 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.560 Because guilty. Think about the guilty because I've never watched 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.160 a w NBA game from start to finish, but I 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.040 am intrigued when I'm clicking on things on social media 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.800 where it's like, ooh, a debate about trands in the league, 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:35.080 or ooh, Sophie Cunningham got clotheslined, and oh Angel Reeson 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.120 was saying this about Kitlyn Clark, Like I will click 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.200 on that. Call me a little gossip bee bauch, but 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.400 I will click on that. But I'm not watching a 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.600 full game. So I do think that there's something we 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.200 said about leading with drama and those salacious headlines in 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.400 the w NBA, because I feel like it's getting the 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.800 eyes that that league would never have got otherwise. And 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.400 be honest, we're taking the bait. You know you're taking 0:02:57.360 --> 0:03:00.800 the bait. Oh Man Security made made fans cover up 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.280 their shirts, the pro and anti trans shirts that people 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.079 were rocking at the Dream Fever game. That stuff that 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.320 stands out and we talk about it, so we're also 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.119 guilty of that. But before we move on, I did 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.600 have a stupid question based on that, and they're saying 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:19.160 security dropped the ball. They posted a lot of these 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:22.919 fans on the jumbo Tron and security was a cover 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.919 up your shirts and it became a story. 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:25.160 Right. 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.520 I think they're making the they're stepping in it, and 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.440 they they should just like they don't know how to 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:30.280 handle the spotlight. 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.080 It reminds me when I was in sixth grade and 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:37.240 they made me cover up my Bart Simpson Simpson, who 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:38.760 the hell are you? And I couldn't have a shirt 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.600 that said hell on it because hell is a dirty word. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.360 The game itself was an overtime. It was a good game, 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.160 like it was an overtime game. And then people just 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.680 get all they get all affixated on this stuff. It 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.120 happens off. Remember when you had to turn your up 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.920 big Johnson T shirt inside out? Yes, that couldn't wear 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:55.560 big Johnson T shirts the school. 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:55.840 You know. 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.800 Nowadays, though, it's way more relaxed that kids wear hats 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:03.760 to school here in California anyway, and their goofy shorts 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.520 that these little boys wear nowadays, all these little baseball kids. 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.200 I have a question for you, one last w NBA question, 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.960 not to get all controversial as we're feeling for DP. 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:17.280 What's up Dan Net's You're allowed too, rich Man? Yeah, 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.240 I just go for it, man, It just really make 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:23.159 an impact. It's a it's a general question with the 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.640 enest canters of the world saying I'm gonna play in 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.640 the w NBA. I my identify as a woman, and 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:33.440 these antics, do you think that, like there's zero points, 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.600 zero chance. Danny G's boy was saying that G League 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.600 players should just try to play in the WNBA just 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.720 to make more money, right, I mean, so. 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.840 Do you think it any I only talk about animals 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:45.640 with Clay Travis. 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.720 Yeah, and saw Clay Travis's clip In any capacity animal 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.279 thunder dumb coming soon? In any capacity, will there be 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.320 like a former NBA player or G League guy that 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:01.599 that pulls these like I guess you would say, like technicalities, 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.480 trying to prove the loopholes and the rules, and but 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.240 then again, this is not it's not political, and it's 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.159 not either side. It's then the w n b A 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.200 at some point soon will have to put some type 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.880 of clear verbiage like here's what a woman is or 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.120 otherwise didn't. You can't just leaning into you can't. But 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:22.120 you can't subjectively be like, well, he's doing it in 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.880 a rude way, but this person is doing it serious 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:29.599 way out of the headline because it's not just improved 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:31.719 that the ratings are up. Our ratings up because of 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.320 the gameplay. You know, man, gameplays insane. You gotta watch 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.520 these matchups or are ratings up because you hear these stories. 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.000 You're like, I got to tune in and see what's 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:43.240 doing well, you know, curiosity, I would say, takes up 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.800 most of those ratings. I'm not saying all I'm trying 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.880 to be fair here, but I did have one last 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.360 story and I'll make it. I'll make it snappy. I'll 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.240 make it snappy. What do you speaking of? You know, 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.320 covering up your shirt? You ever, like, roll up to 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.480 take your kid to school or something and you're chatting 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.680 it up with the parents and you realize you're wearing 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.800 like an inappropriate T shirt. Because that's happened to me 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:07.560 a few times. I'm truck. When you buy some trashy 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.360 shirt like the border. We work in radio, right, you 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.719 say something stupid, Someone makes a T shirt and they 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:14.000 send it to you and you, you know, you wear 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.760 it to the gym or something. Had a T shirt 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.839 that said a hogof Champion. It was just like hogoff Champions. 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.599 I mean, yeah, you know, growing up on the farms 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.960 of Union, new dress. Yeah that's that hot. We're are 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.159 the Union farmers bro I grew up in Union. 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:29.640 Did you win it on Winnie and the Button in 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:29.960 the morning? 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.440 I well know someone sent it to me, right, So 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.720 someone sent me to shirt and I'm there talking to 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:37.880 one of the parents. This is back in the day, 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:41.440 and the dude's drinking the coffee and he's looking at me, 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.240 and I'm like, oh my god, hogolf Champion. I went 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.000 back to my car, turned it inside out right, and 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.840 just came back out like nothing happened. But that's just 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.839 one story. And after seeing that shirt, the mom started 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.200 looking at me different. Yeah, absolutely good call. But that 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.760 is the story and we're sticking to it. Sulready made 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:04.920 fans cover up their shirts at the WNBA game. Is 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.640 it the biggest deal? No, but it is a story. 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.560 It is and I had one other quick story about baseball, 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.640 and then we are going to welcome Drew Brees. Drew 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.400 Brees at about ten minutes will be joining us. Nice. 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:20.840 How I mean, I'm a Mets fan. I know we 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.360 got a lot of East Coast affiliates on the Dan Patrick, 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.720 sorry about that, brother, And it's sad being a Mets fan. 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:27.800 But you know what I said, what's the saddest part 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.280 about being a Mets fan when you look at you 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.360 cover up your Mets T shirt when you you know what, 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.680 it's embarrassing. I'm sorry, let me turn this inside out. 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:36.680 Shots fired. 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:43.720 When you realize how the Mets couldn't even play five 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.440 hundred baseball with a team, you know, with the whole 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.920 David Stearns, we're gonna get, you know, everyone they got 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:52.680 ended up being a fail. Some of the guys aren't 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.840 even on the team anymore. The peraltas of the world 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.280 they give. They let Pete Alonso, who's been one of 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.040 the most productive players they have. You noticed that in 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.040 the last two months. Yeah, leading the league over the 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.280 last two months. Pete A. Lonso's like top three in 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.360 every offensive category. They let Pete Go, they're like later Nimmo, 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:11.680 later McNeil. They get Simeon Polanco, all these guys that 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.960 they said, we're gonna, you know, give the franchise a 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.040 whole new look. And would you believe that even though 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.560 the Mets have won ten or the last thirteen, they're 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.280 fifty seven and sixty nine and still in last place. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.240 And when you look at the wildcard I only say 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:29.520 it's disappointing because when you look at the wildcard races 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.760 in the ALE and NL, the AL there's an under 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.560 five hundred team right now that would make the third wildcard, 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.760 and in the NL it's gonna be about an eighty 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.679 something win team. So the reality in baseball nowadays with 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.800 that awesome third wildcard, which I'm a fan of because 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.760 it keeps everyone interested. If the Mets had just played 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:51.400 five hundred baseball right now, you'd be very much in 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.680 the playoff conversation. And then once you make the playoffs, 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:55.959 I think it just proves how mediocre a lot of 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:56.600 these teams are. 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.839 Man Rich, I hate to interrupt your Mets talk, but 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.120 it's almost time for Drew Brees. 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.160 Danny, I are you saying Drew Brees wouldn't appreciate any 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.000 I hope you're Dodgers get that three seed and have 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.920 to play in the wildcard round. Keep you're sweating your 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.439 ass off because as of right now, as of right now, 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.480 they played, they've played one more game than the Braves, 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.760 but they're seventy five and fifty one. The Braves are 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:24.720 seventy four and fifty one. But one of those teams, 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.480 the Bravos of the Dodgers, are going to have to 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.199 play a best of three in the wildcard and that 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.640 is dangerous. So if you wonder, is there any way 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.600 the Dodgers don't win the World Series. If you're rooting 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.559 against Danny G's Dodgers, the goal is for the Dodgers 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.840 to slip to the three seed and have to play 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:42.920 in the wild card.
