00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 2: So we'll talk to Gus coming up. We were talking

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: about sequels and the separation between Gladiator, and I misspoke.

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: I said nineteen ninety. It was two thousand when Gladiator

15
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: came out. Here we are twenty four years later. Gladiator

16
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: two is going to be coming out and Denzel Washington

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: is in this movie, which is kind of interesting. Now

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: he's done all these iconic roles, you know, Training Day

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: and Malcolm X, and now he's doing Equalizer. And I

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 2: watched the first one and I was hooked. I was like,

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 2: this is kind of his John Wick and it's good.

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: So I think we're Equalizer three or four now. But

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: if you get a chance and you want to like

24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: disappear for an hour and a half or something in

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: a movie two hours, Equalizer is really really good. And

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: Denzel is you know, he's Denzel. But this is one

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: of those where he's probably like, Oh, do I want

28
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 2: to starve myself to play this role?

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 3: Or do I want to look at a certain way?

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: And now I'm just gonna wear baggy clothes and go

31
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: around the world killing people?

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: And where are we shooting Italy? How many pages of dialogue? Five? Yummen?

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 3: What's the check?

34
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 4: Oh?

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: Yuh, definitely, Yeah, there's not a lot of dialogue with it.

36
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: You know, he's Denzel, he doesn't need his look says

37
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: a lot.

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 5: Yes, Paully, so Equalizer the first one, Equalizer one was

39
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 5: twenty fourteen. Is that a byproduct of Liam Neeson two

40
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 5: thousand and eight taken? Yes, a lot of money, three

41
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 5: movies at least. Yes, you get paid to kick ass. Yes,

42
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 5: it's a good deal.

43
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know why I'm doing my Liam nieson.

44
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 3: Why not Todd? I will hunt you down, I would

45
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: find you, and I will curing you.

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: Not a lot of dialogue and Taken either, but those

47
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: are once again. I like to just watch a movie

48
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: where I don't have to think too much. Uh, Taken,

49
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: I don't have to think too much other than he's

50
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: one of the worst parents ever, Like, I don't know

51
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: where's my daughter now? All of a sudden with some

52
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: Albanian guys who you know are running.

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: A drug cartel. How'd you lose your daughter again?

54
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 6: Tuck your family for crimes?

55
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: Come on, yes, seven.

56
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 7: Sometimes I can watch movies just based on where it's

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 7: set or like the scenery. That's how I got to

58
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 7: I think I haven't seen Equalizers one, two, or three,

59
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 7: But I think I watched four only because I was

60
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 7: on a plane and it was set in Italy and

61
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 7: I was like, oh, I'll watch this. This sounds great,

62
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 7: all right. I could watch The Revenant just because of

63
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 7: the scenery. It looks awesome. You find really good movies

64
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 7: that way, like Equalizer Now. I want to go back

65
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 7: and watch the first three because that character was so awesome.

66
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: But I don't think they're great locations.

67
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: I think one is like Massachusetts Boston, Yeah yeah.

68
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: Which is essentially the New England.

69
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 5: Equalizer in Cape cod wouldn't have worked.

70
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: Went in Boston.

71
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: Boston is the French riviera of the Yeah, I think

72
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: he's on a train in one of them, and then

73
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: he's in Italy and one, and then he's in Massachusetts

74
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: maybe for the first two.

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: Essentially the a Mafi Coast of.

76
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: It's good though, I mean it's Denzel and same thing

77
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: with Liam Neeson, Like it's preposterous, you know, some of

78
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: the things that happen and taken. But I tried to

79
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: kind of suspend any kind of belief in what is

80
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: normal when I'm watching these movies.

81
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 5: So this is kind of like the Senior's Tour, Like

82
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 5: if you're a great golfer, you're on the regular tour.

83
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 5: Denzel Washington made tons of great movies. Liam Needson made

84
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 5: tons of great movies. Now they're on the senior tour.

85
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 5: Big checks, kind of easy script, go and kick some

86
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 5: ass and go home.

87
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 3: Or is this like the live tour.

88
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 5: It's a bit like the livyah maybe pus controversy.

89
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no controversy with this, but this is where

90
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: you know, when somebody says, well, why'd you take that paycheck?

91
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: Like we always yeah, we always think, oh, you know,

92
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: for the artistic you know, working with that director. Oh yeah,

93
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: you know, I've always wanted to work with him, you know, artistically,

94
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: I love this character.

95
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: It speaks to me, this is just why'd you do this?

96
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: Uh?

97
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 3: Money?

98
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: Like if I'm canu reeves, if somebody says, why would

99
00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: you do John Wick?

100
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: Why not? Yeah, Marph.

101
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 8: So for actors is the arc make popcorn movies, make

102
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 8: some money, then do the Oscar nominated films, something you

103
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 8: could sink your teeth into. And then the back half is,

104
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 8: let's just make a bunch of money and do some

105
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 8: action films. Is that kind of the the arc?

106
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: Now, that's what I've done, Like I did that with

107
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 2: Sandler and we made over a billion dollars. And now

108
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: on the back end now is when I do kind

109
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: of indie Films's I haven't done them yet, but I'm

110
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: waiting to do the indie films.

111
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 5: Here. Yes, Paul Denzel Washington made sixty million dollars making

112
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 5: three Equalizer movies. The movie's crushed. You know, it's great,

113
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 5: easy sixty mil.

114
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: But that's sixty probably salary. And then there's back end

115
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: with that, correct, That's when these guys crush it.

116
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: When you're going wait, a minute. How mud she make

117
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: back end with it?

118
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: Like what did Margot Robbie make on Barbie? She had

119
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: to make at least one hundred million. Does that seem fair?

120
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 8: Then Jack Nicholson get like the back end of Batman.

121
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: I might have, might have.

122
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 2: I think Lawrence Fishburn got three percent back end.

123
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know what. I don't know. If it

124
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: was Matrix, I don't.

125
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: I think he got something where it's like, uh, I

126
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: mean that's one of those where it shows up like that,

127
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 2: does a check show up and it's like, here's sixty

128
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: two million dollars.

129
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, your wife's going through the mail.

130
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: Uh huh, we got the credit card due, we got that.

131
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: Oh you got your sixty two million back end for Matrix.

132
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: But I would imagine Denzel got twenty million up front

133
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: and then just back end, because that's I love when

134
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 2: an actor if you if you bet on yourself, I'll

135
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: take less, but I'll take the back end of this.

136
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: Do you have what Margot Robbie got for Barbie Marmon?

137
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 8: I don't, sorry, I've Jack Nicholson. He was the highest

138
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 8: paid actor for a single movie for his role as

139
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 8: the Joker in nineteen eighty nine Batman, earning around ninety

140
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 8: million dollars. He took a six million dollars up front

141
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 8: payment and a percentage of the final box office gross.

142
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: I gotta believe Margo Robbie got a one hundred million

143
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: dollars that that movie made over a billion.

144
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: Yes, Paulin Keanu.

145
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 5: Reeves has crushed it with the Matrix. He took a

146
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 5: lot of backend money because the original one they weren't

147
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 5: sure about it like a different concept. Supposedly he made

148
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty six million dollars on the two sequels.

149
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 3: Dag dang, No wonder. He's always in a good mood

150
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: when you see him.

151
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 5: He's rolling.

152
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: Yes, he can't have a bad day. Yes, time I

153
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 3: see that.

154
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 6: Margot was paid approximately twelve and a half million dollars

155
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 6: just for the role of being the actress and has

156
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 6: made at least fifty million between her salary and box

157
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 6: office business, the bonuses, and her dual role as star

158
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 6: and producers.

159
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they may have gone up since then.

160
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 6: I was from a story about several months ago.

161
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: Yes, Marvin Tots, it wears out of my mouth. Oh okay,

162
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: all right, thank you. Don't little research on this program. Yes,

163
00:07:58,160 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: Paul couldn't.

164
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 5: Could it an athlete or would an athlete ever do

165
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 5: something like this. Let's say Patrick Mahomes to be friendly

166
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 5: to his team, so I'll take ten million dollars this season.

167
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: But I don't think you can get back in the

168
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: back end is the Super Bowl.

169
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 5: If I win the Super Bowl, you have to pay

170
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 5: me a check for one hundred million dollars. But you

171
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 5: can't do that because of the salary camp, right, But

172
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 5: it'd be interesting if you could, because Mahomes said I'll

173
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 5: take ten million, but you only one hundred if I

174
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 5: win us a super Bowl. Think about the owner. If

175
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 5: you're the owner of the Chiefs, you'd be.

176
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: Like, but this goes back to what you brought this

177
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: up years ago to me, and you said there should

178
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: be a separate salary cap for quarterbacks, and I said,

179
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: I would love to see it because then the money

180
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: is more evenly dispersed on your roster instead of just

181
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 2: being top heavy with one player and if he goes down,

182
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: then there goes your season. But you know the owners

183
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: don't want that. They're like, no, we want a salary cap.

184
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: We don't want you know, idiots out there going on

185
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: we're going to spend you know, one hundred million dollars

186
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: on you know, these three players, and they're like, no, no,

187
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: we don't want that. By the way, the Giants Hard

188
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: Knocks is a whole lot better than I thought. The

189
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 2: off season with the Giants had a little bit of

190
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: drama in there, and you know, it's all about Saquon Barkley.

191
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 2: I just think that the Giants New York Giants, the

192
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: Football Giants is they like to say, New York the

193
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: New York Football Giants. Compounded one mistake by making another

194
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: mistake that you re signed Daniel Jones the only way

195
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones, and you got Malik Neighbors, who I think

196
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 2: is going to be a star wide receiver, but you

197
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: gotta have Saquon Barkley. I would have paid a little

198
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: more for Saquon Barkley just because I overpaid for Daniel Jones.

199
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: So now I've overpaid for Daniel Jones. I don't have

200
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: a versatile running back who can be Mike Christian McCaffrey,

201
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: and I do have a great with the potential for

202
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 2: being a great rookie wide receiver. I would have paid

203
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: a little more for Saquon. They were so caught up

204
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 2: in Oh, he's gonna want Jonathan Taylor numbers. Okay, Saquon

205
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 2: Barkley can be Christian McCaffrey in my opinion, in the

206
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: right offense, he can be that player. But you're gonna

207
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: give him an offer that he can refuse, and then Philadelphia,

208
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: Philadelphia's become the San Francisco forty nine ers offensively. I mean,

209
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: if you look at all the weapons, now, you got

210
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: your Christa McCaffrey in Saquon Barkley. You got a good

211
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: tight end. He's not George Kittle. You've got really good

212
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: wide receivers here, and your quarterback is an upgrade over

213
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: what the forty nine ers have, at least it, you know,

214
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: it certainly feels that way. It feels like those two

215
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 2: teams are kind of mirroring each other. But with the Giants,

216
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: I just didn't understand the logic. I'd pay a little

217
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: more for Saquon Barkley if they think he's got more.

218
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 2: You know, this isn't something like you know when Jerry

219
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: Jones does something stupid by extending Zeke Elliott and I go,

220
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: what are you thinking? You can't play anymore? Not not

221
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 2: with what's going to be commensurate to what you're paying him.

222
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley. I don't think his hit his prime yet

223
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: Zeke did with the Cowboys. And then they're like, we're

224
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: going to bring him back. He's a leader.

225
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: No he's not. Oh he gave you five really good years.

226
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 5: Move on from him.

227
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 4: Now.

228
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: They brought him back again, didn't they?

229
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: And I still keep throwing in a little NFL stuff

230
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: waiting to see what happens with Tua because this might

231
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: be next week where we either find out the Dolphins

232
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 2: are going to give him his money or they're not.

233
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: And I would hold out. I would hold out giving

234
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: him fifty million.

235
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 5: Do so, you're you're the team and you would hold out?

236
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 3: Yes, I would not the No, Yeah.

237
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 5: It's a different kind of holdout.

238
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: Hey, we're going to hold out, you know? With you?

239
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: I would hold off. How's that I would hold off

240
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: paying to a tuic is not going to win me games?

241
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 5: He's twenty six years old, he was eleven and six

242
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 5: seventy percent passer, forty six hundred yards, twenty nine touchdowns,

243
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 5: fourteen picks.

244
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: No, No, why is it? I feel like but I

245
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: felt this way with Jalen Hurts, like I just I

246
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: wanted to see one more year. I think there's level

247
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 2: levels of good, goodness, good ish, and then great, and

248
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: Tua is in the good.

249
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 3: I just don't know if game on the line, Like

250
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: like if you said, hey.

251
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, like watch Joe Burrow throw a football, it's

252
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 2: effortless or Mahomes justin Herbert certain guys, you just go, man.

253
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: He it.

254
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: It looks like like Russell Wilson looks like he's working

255
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: to throw a pass. TWOA looks like he's working to

256
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 2: throw a pass. But I think you're probably gonna hear

257
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 2: here in the next week. What's gonna happen with the Dolphins.

258
00:12:55,240 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: This just in Shams's reporting. Kawhi Leonard is not going

259
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: to play for the Olympic team.

260
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: We talked about this yesterday.

261
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: If I'm the Clippers man, I would certainly give him

262
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: a hint that we don't want you to play. But

263
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: then we had Joe Varden on and he's covering the

264
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: Olympic team, and he said that there was something in

265
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: the language with owners and players playing for your country

266
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: that you couldn't influence them to not play. That Steve

267
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: Ballmer couldn't say to KWHI don't play. Now, logically I'd

268
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: be like, should I really be playing for the Olympic team?

269
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: Shouldn't I maybe rehab rest and be ready to play

270
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 2: more than sixty games. Now they're talking about Derek White.

271
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: Has anybody had a better basketball year?

272
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: Now?

273
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: I take that back.

274
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: Lebron had the best offseason because he got re signed,

275
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: he got the coach he wanted, and his son got drafted.

276
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: But Derek White, Derek White, unbelievable and breakout player with

277
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: the Celtics. And then here he is where he might

278
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: be the guy who's gonna take Kawhi Leonard's place. I

279
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: see where Gus Johnson just called in. How about we

280
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 2: take a break. We'll get to Gus. He's actually covering

281
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: the Olympic team and we'll get his thoughts on that.

282
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,439

00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: Don't love me anymore.

315
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 10: Dan, I don't know what happened, man.

316
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 11: We ain't folk no more.

317
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: It's been over.

318
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 10: I've been at Fox for fourteen years, and this is

319
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 10: the first time I've been on your show since I

320
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 10: came over to Fox. So I was just letting you

321
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 10: know that today is just like such a wonderful day

322
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 10: to me. I feel like I've accomplished so many things,

323
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 10: and i just feel like I'm on my way up

324
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 10: some kind of beautiful ascending mountain and I'm going to

325
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 10: reach the peak and have an opportunity to look out

326
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 10: over the entire landscape. Because now I'm back on.

327
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 3: I don't know, Gus. I think you need to get

328
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 3: a better researcher. Fritzi.

329
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: Will you do the homework and tell me the last

330
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: time Gus Johnson was on the program.

331
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 10: All Right, we're gonna bet and me and my friends

332
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 10: we have bets we call We're going to bet a

333
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 10: mystical dollar me and you one mystical dollar that I'm

334
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 10: going to beat you in this bet. And it's been

335
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 10: over fourteen years.

336
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to take the under. Paulie, would you locate

337
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: the last time Gus was We're all.

338
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 5: Over, but I know we had him on college basketball

339
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 5: related within the past ten years.

340
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, that mythical dollars maybe I'm running my way.

341
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 2: You might be the drake. You might be the Drake

342
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: of bets with announcer. So you're going to lose this.

343
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 10: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on hold.

344
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 10: I got to stop you right here. No, no, no, no,

345
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 10: I would never be the drake of anything you know.

346
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 10: Say I'm an American. I have nothing Drake, No, not me.

347
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 10: Don't say that.

348
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,719
Speaker 3: You are you going Kendrick Lamar here, Hey, listen, listen.

349
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 10: You're you're diving into a pool that you really don't understand.

350
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 3: Don't say that. Okay, don't say.

351
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 10: That to me. I'm an American, I'm not. Don't compare

352
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 10: me to Drake.

353
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 11: Let me get in the pool right now over the

354
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 11: next one to one to two years, or compare me

355
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 11: to anybody but Drake right now.

356
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: Tell me what you're expecting with this Olympic team and

357
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: is it on par or for or is it more

358
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: talented than the dream team, which we've been led to

359
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: believe with recent articles here.

360
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 10: Well, I just got some information today that Kawhi Leonard

361
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 10: will not be playing in the Olympics because he is injured,

362
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 10: and uh, is it better than the Dream team? I

363
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 10: wouldn't agree I wouldn't say that, you know, No, I

364
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 10: think that they got a good team, but I think

365
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 10: they have an older team that has injuries. Kevin Durant

366
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 10: got a little nick. Lebron's thirty nine years old. That's

367
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 10: getting older now Kawhi is not playing. I don't think

368
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 10: they have the uh, the same firepower as the Dream Team. No,

369
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 10: I wouldn't say that at all.

370
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: Well, they don't have a Jordan and they don't. I

371
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: don't think they have a Jordan or Berkley and those

372
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 2: two were you know, Charles I think won the MVP

373
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 2: maybe the year after the Dream Team, and we of

374
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: course Mike was in his prime. Now that was that

375
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 2: was kind of a banged up roster too. You know,

376
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: Larry Bird wasn't Larry Bird at the time, but you

377
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 2: know that was that was a pretty good All I

378
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: know is I still had Mike going out there every

379
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: single game.

380
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 3: And they don't have Michael Jordan.

381
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 10: Nobody does, but well not they don't have the Lebron

382
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 10: James in his prime.

383
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 3: I don't think.

384
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 10: Maybe that's what you're saying. Yeah, you're right, you're right,

385
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 10: they don't. But they have a good team, a great team.

386
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,239
Speaker 10: The Hall of fame type roster. If they can, you know,

387
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 10: if they can stay healthy and get through the entire

388
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 10: gauntlet of the games at the Olympics, I think they

389
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 10: can win the gold medal. But I don't think it's

390
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 10: going to be easy at all. This team Canada, the squad,

391
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 10: I've watched them in practice the last two days, and

392
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 10: they're very enthusiastic and confident with their speed and agility

393
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 10: and also with their talent level with SGA leading the way,

394
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 10: So they're going to be good. And you know, Serbia

395
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 10: and a number of different countries around the world, France

396
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 10: with all the great young talent that they.

397
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 4: Have up there.

398
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 10: But I think the United States, you know, yes, Steph Curry,

399
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 10: Lebron James, Devin Booker, all these stars. Hopefully Kevin Durant,

400
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 10: he can get healthy and they'll put on a good

401
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 10: show and come home with another gold medal.

402
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: What would be more embarrassing for Team USA to lose

403
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 2: to Canada or lose to France in the Olympics.

404
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 10: Well, they lost to Canada last year the Feeble World Cup.

405
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 10: It's a different roster, totally different roster for the American

406
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 10: A couple of holdovers. I don't think anything is gonna

407
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 10: you know, I don't think it's embarrassing anymore because these

408
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 10: are NBA players playing against NBA players a lot of times,

409
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 10: and these are pro players playing against pro players.

410
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 4: I think that.

411
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 10: Losing to either one of them will be a hit embarrassing.

412
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 10: I wouldn't say that, but I think they expect to

413
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 10: win it, but they know they're going to have to

414
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 10: play their best basketball to win it. So it's like

415
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 10: six on one hand, half a dozen on the other.

416
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: We're talking to Gus Johnson, Fox Sports play by play announcer,

417
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 2: frequent guest in the Dan Patrick Show.

418
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 3: PAULI, when's the last time Gus was on the show?

419
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 5: Now I can confirm Gus spring of twenty eleven, and

420
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 5: you said fourteen years, that would be thirteen years.

421
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 10: I got it with you know what, that guy goes

422
00:20:59,359 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 10: to the runner.

423
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: I don't know if we had happened.

424
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 10: What happened?

425
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 4: Man?

426
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 10: You fell out of love with me when I was

427
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 10: the CBS.

428
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: You loved me, man.

429
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,239
Speaker 4: Now you know, well I talked to you.

430
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 10: Fourteen years. We're going to round that up to the

431
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 10: you know, highest number, because it just sounds better. Fourteen

432
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 10: better sounds better.

433
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 2: Than thirteen was this back when Northern Iowa, when Ali

434
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 2: Fuesh was starring.

435
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 3: I think is that when we had I think us

436
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 3: was on that call? Were you on that call? I

437
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 3: had no idea. Wait, I'm following your career. Remember what

438
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 3: I did last, I did last fifty years ago?

439
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 10: You know what I'm say?

440
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: Where's the strangest place you've been recognized with your voice?

441
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 10: Strangest place I've been recognized? Well, I would incriminate myself

442
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 10: if I actually told you the truth, But.

443
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 3: Look at it this way.

444
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 10: It's a very strange, strange places.

445
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 2: That you would never expect. You know, I have had

446
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: you weren't you? Weren't with James Harden in Houston? Were

447
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: you where you got recognized with?

448
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 3: Okay?

449
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 4: Never that mean? You know?

450
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 3: I travel a lot.

451
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 10: You know, I've been traveling a lot for the last

452
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 10: thirty five years, so I've I've had some experiences, and

453
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 10: I have been recognized in places, uh, places that that

454
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 10: I didn't think people even really knew I existed.

455
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: So, okay, I'll just leave it at that magic city. Yeah,

456
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 3: I understand that expected for me.

457
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 2: We're seven weeks out until college football. What do you

458
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: how do you prepare for what? You think college football

459
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: is going to be like or when will you prepare

460
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: for the shifting landscape?

461
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think you ever.

462
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 10: Let's look at it like this, Dad, Our jobs are

463
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 10: the easiest jobs in the history of mankind for people

464
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 10: like us that love sports. So prepare. What does prepare mean?

465
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,239
Speaker 10: That's an interesting word because you're always interested in it

466
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 10: in college football, and you never kind of stopped preparing

467
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 10: because you're always interested in what's going on. And last

468
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 10: year we had such an exciting season with Dion and

469
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 10: he started.

470
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: Out in Colorado.

471
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 10: We had a bunch of his early games and he

472
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 10: beat TCU first game on the road, and then we

473
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 10: segue from Dion to Jim Harball and what was going

474
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 10: on with him with the Big Ten and the NCAA

475
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 10: investigation and then Harball getting suspended, and then Jeron Woar

476
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 10: coming in as the Michigan interim head coach and leading

477
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 10: them all the way to the Big Ten championship Jeron

478
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 10: Wore beating Ohio State and then Harball coming back and

479
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 10: we weren't there after the championship when Harball coaching the

480
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 10: championship Big Ten Championship, that was so we had an

481
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 10: exciting season. I'm always looking at it. I'm always interested

482
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 10: in what's going on in college football, and now it's

483
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 10: so exciting with UCLA, USC, Oregon, and Washington moving into

484
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 10: the Big Ten. So the schedule looks good for everybody,

485
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 10: I mean, not only US in NBC and CBS. Some

486
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 10: good games that are going to be shown on television

487
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 10: overall platforms. So I'm always looking at him and I'm

488
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 10: always interested. And we got an exciting schedule coming up.

489
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 10: We got Texas and Michigan week two. I think I'm

490
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 10: really looking forward to seeing that when yours coming back

491
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 10: again for Texas as their quarterback arch manning their backup

492
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 10: quarterback now and going into ann Arbor taking on Michigan

493
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 10: now with a new quarterback, most likely kidnamed alex Orgy. Big, strong, physical,

494
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 10: I mean, just built like a Greek god, like a

495
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 10: domistist kid, alex Orgin. He's from Texas, African American kid.

496
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 10: So it's always something to pay attention to. There's always

497
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 10: some good hot stove topics. So man, I'm always interested

498
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 10: in what's going on with college football. I prepare as

499
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 10: soon as the season ends, which is just keeping.

507
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 10: I don't know if you've been on that play talk

508
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 10: about the first class.

509
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 3: And then there's United Arab Immirates. Folks, Wait, what's that like?

510
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 3: First class? Off the move.

511
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 11: It's out of the world, It's off the charts.

512
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 10: Being on the United I took a flight over I

513
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 10: think from New York to London one time on that

514
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 10: flight and it's just it's amazing and it's the greatest

515
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 10: first class I've ever been in. So when you asked

516
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 10: me the question about Coop, I'm in the United Arab

517
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 10: Emirates first class with this young man.

518
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: I mean.

519
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 10: And I was thinking about him because I knew you

520
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 10: were going to talk to me about him today, and

521
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 10: I figured you would ask me a question like what

522
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 10: makes it is he standing out? And my answer was

523
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 10: I thought about it last night I said, yes, he

524
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 10: is standing out because he's not standing out, Meaning on

525
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 10: what day did I come to practice? I want to practice.

526
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 10: First practice was Monday. They had a great scrimmage between

527
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 10: the the national team and the select team that they

528
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 10: have the practice against him, and I was watching because

529
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 10: I can't take my eye. Man, I can't excuse me

530
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 10: for rambling, but I can't take my eyes off Lebron

531
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 10: James because I've never seen Lebron James prior to Monday practice.

532
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 10: I've never seen him practice. I had a chance to

533
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 10: watch him practice the last two days, and what's amazing

534
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 10: to me is, here's a man that's arguably the greatest

535
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 10: player in the history of the game of basketball, who

536
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 10: you know, has a very very good argument to become

537
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 10: to be the goat. And as I watched him practice,

538
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 10: and I kept my eyes on him the entire time

539
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 10: both days, he worked like well, Lebron James in practice

540
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 10: worked like he was trying to make the team at

541
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 10: thirty nine.

542
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 3: I mean, his.

543
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 10: Energy, his determination, is commitment, all that stuff. He plays

544
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 10: so hard. So to answer your question about Cooper Flag,

545
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 10: does he stand out? No, Well that was my question.

546
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 10: Does he stand out out?

547
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 4: No?

548
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 10: He doesn't stand out because he just fits in like

549
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 10: he's just normally a part of this situation. And he's

550
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 10: seventeen years old. I saw Lebron James checking him, checking

551
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 10: him in the scrimmage, and Cooper Flag was playing point

552
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 10: guard at seventeen years old, at six y nine against

553
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 10: Lebron James, and he he didn't flinch. It was nothing.

554
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 10: It was just like he's playing against some kids that

555
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 10: he played against in high school a few.

556
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 3: Months back in Maine.

557
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 10: I mean, this kid, it's it's you know, it's really

558
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 10: amazing as a sportscaster, especially a guy that's always on

559
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 10: the road and still walks into locker rooms unlike a

560
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 10: lot of you know people in today's a sportscasting, you know,

561
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 10: working locker rooms and being around people. It's so interesting

562
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 10: when you run into a person.

563
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 4: That is.

564
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:03,240
Speaker 10: Special just just as a baby, as a young person,

565
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 10: and you just see the future, like Lebron James when

566
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 10: he was a kid out of high schools on Sports Illustrator.

567
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 10: I'll never forgets say the chosen one. This Cooper Flag

568
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 10: is the real deal. And it's just I was thinking

569
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 10: as I was watching him, I was like, here's a

570
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 10: kid that's seventeen years old, playing against not only the

571
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 10: best players in the world, but some of the greatest

572
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 10: players of all time, playing with them, fitting in, not dominating,

573
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 10: but being effective. And he's seventeen and now what is

574
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 10: this July? So he's got August, so he's got another

575
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 10: month and then he's gonna walk onto a college campus

576
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 10: and have to play against college kids.

577
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 3: This is gonna be.

578
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 10: Phenomenal to watch. Just I mean, I can't wait to

579
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 10: watch Duke. And he's only gonna be there for a year,

580
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 10: so he's gonna be the number one player in the Drive,

581
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 10: There's no question about it. I mean, we are looking

582
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 10: at the future of the NBA, the future of American

583
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 10: basket ball, which makes me feel good because if you look,

584
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 10: you're seeing all these international guys winning MVP, mvs. Dantage's

585
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,959
Speaker 10: joke kis antety Cumbo's And now you got a guy

586
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 10: like Anthony Edwards, who the young up and coming cat

587
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 10: American and this Cooper flag is going to be Uh,

588
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 10: he's gonna be special over the next fifteen years. So

589
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 10: it's just, uh, it's a treat.

590
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: You know.

591
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 10: I was sitting there saying to myself, I can't believe

592
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 10: that they pay me to do this. But I'm not

593
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,719
Speaker 10: going to tell anybody, you know, Dan, don't tell nobody, man,

594
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 10: I won't tell nobody. They pay us for this, right,

595
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 10: I promise you. Uh So, we'll talk to you in

596
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 10: twenty thirty eight. Does that sound about right? Next time

597
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 10: we'll have you on it. Well, I mean that's usually

598
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 10: what kind of schedule you have me on.

599
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 3: So, but I'll hope here. Thanks for doing otherwise. Everything good. Yeah,

600
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:52,719
Speaker 3: you're doing otherwise.

601
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 10: I've been spoken to you. You good, You've always treated

602
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 10: me great.

603
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: Everything's good, no complaints. I still get to do this, guys.

604
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 2: That's that's the fun part. I mean, after a while,

605
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 2: I don't take it for granted. But I'm very fortunate

606
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 2: that you know, you survive, and this is it's a

607
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: young person's business, and you just try to make sure

608
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: they eventually tap you on the shoulder and say come here,

609
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 2: bring your playbook. But until then we get well to

610
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: do it every day.

611
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 10: That's what's up, man, And you're absolutely right. Words can't

612
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 10: express the amount of gratitude that I have put a

613
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 10: good to the Good Lord for allowing me to do

614
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 10: this for a living, in this particular lifetime. But I

615
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 10: don't think it's a young man's game one hundred percent.

616
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 10: I think it's the game of men. And I take

617
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 10: guys like us who have survived that bring a certain

618
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 10: kind of wisdom to this job and to the covering

619
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,000

Speaker 2: I hope Gus Johnson, Fox Sports playback play announcer. I

642
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 2: didn't realize it had been that long.

643
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 5: Yes, well after the twenty eleven and Say tournament, Gus

644
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 5: took the big job at Fox, mostly football, and you

645
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 5: know he's very missed at the CBS at the nca tournament,

646
00:32:58,960 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 5: he was fantastic at the.

647
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: But see if they let j Billis do games. I

648
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: thought that they would let Gus do a couple of them.

649
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 5: Foxes look great if they loaned out Gus for a

650
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 5: couple of NCAA tournament game.

651
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 2: And I know you want to develop your announcers, play

652
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 2: by play announcers, younger announcers. I get that, but it

653
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 2: would have been nice, Like I wanted Dick by Town

654
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 2: to get a chance to do a big game because

655
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: I don't know who's been more instrumental in selling the

656
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: game of college basketball than Dick EV And I know

657
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 2: Dicky B listens to the show, and I hope he's

658
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: feeling better. His cancer is back and you know he

659
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: lost his good friend Howie Schwab. So Dick is surrounded

660
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: by great people. But you know he's been the face

661
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 2: and the voice of college basketball for such a long

662
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:45,920

Speaker 2: so finish your story, thank you.

717
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 4: So my son was fourteen years old, gangly. I got

718
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 4: him into boxing because I was a hobbyist boxer. Every

719
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 4: day I take him to training. Fourteen fifteen, sixteen, sixteen

720
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 4: and a half, seventeen years old. He comes up as

721
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 4: the fourth rated amateur boxer in the state of Arizona.

722
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 4: Floyd Mayweather's father shows up at one of his events,

723
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 4: sees him, can't believe his speed, and he wants to

724
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 4: train him. High school comes he graduate, waits now here

725
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 4: we are. We're talking, and he looks at me and

726
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 4: he says, I got something to tell you. I said, now,

727
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 4: I've lived vicariously through him for four years, took him

728
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 4: to training every single day. He says to me, I

729
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 4: can't do it. Anymore. I go, what do you mean?

730
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 4: He goes, you want the truth? I go, yeah, he

731
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 4: said it's too hard. I go, what do you mean?

732
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 4: He said, Dad, every day it's torture. Pushing myself to

733
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 4: a limit, to a pain threshold is becoming so depressing.

734
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 4: I don't want the life. I got fifty trophies on

735
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 4: the wall that this kid won. I said, what do

736
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 4: you want to do? He said, just when me go

737
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 4: to college and drop the whole thing. You're dropping the

738
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 4: whole thing. I said, yeah. Now, my wife and I

739
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 4: had been following him on the circuit. We had our

740
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 4: own little celebrity status among the crew of people in

741
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 4: the circuit, so we had our own little fame doing

742
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 4: at the same time. And in one coffee cup conversation

743
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 4: it was over and I had to look at him

744
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 4: and say, it's sure, life go ahead, and I just

745
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 4: just walked away from the whole damn thing.

746
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 3: It's tough stuff.

747
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: And because you get so invested, you and your wife,

748
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 2: and your travel schedules back and forth, equipment, money, aau,

749
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: I mean, all of these things. I get it, and

750
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 2: it becomes your identity too. You get wrapped up in

751
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: their success. They're the ones putting in the work, the

752
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: true work to be good, to be great. You're driving

753
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 2: a mini van. Now maybe you're more involved in that.

754
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 2: But it is difficult. But it's the pressure we put

755
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 2: on these kids that they aren't kids, and you want

756
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 2: them to continue because you benefit from this. It's important

757
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 2: to you. You understand, maybe they can get a scholarship,

758
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 2: like you still have to factor in their kid do

759
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 2: they love this? And I've seen kids who love sports

760
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 2: they get burned out, they burn themselves out. But you

761
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 2: also at the end of all of this, you still

762
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 2: have to ask them, I want you to do what

763
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 2: you love doing, because then it's not work.

764
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 10: Yeah.

765
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 7: Seen, it is one of those things like you have

766
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 7: to remind kids that like and maybe we don't as

767
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 7: adults appreciate though, that every time they take a step

768
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,720
Speaker 7: up in level, it doesn't get easier, it gets harder,

769
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 7: you know, and that it can be a difficult message

770
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 7: for like a thirteen, fourteen, sixteen, eighteen year old, you know,

771
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 7: to be like, yes, and the privilege that you get

772
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 7: for all of this hard work and getting better, is

773
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 7: it just getting harder for you?

774
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,280
