Speaker 1: Tim Kirchin. What a great day baseball is right around

Speaker 1: the corner that is fantastic. Is this a great game

Speaker 1: or what? That's the podcast he does with his son.

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 3: Tim for years working at ESPN. We take your word

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 3: as gospel with everything baseball. But one time you said

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: something that is the only time I've ever disagreed with you.

14
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna give you a chance right now.

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 4: You better be.

16
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: Scare Mikey Hey, I'm telling you right now, be Campbell.

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: I side with Tim Kirchin. I don't care what good

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: argument is. I side with Kirchin.

19
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: They were ranking the best pitches in baseball, and ahead

20
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: of Mariano Rivera's cutter, you had ubaldo him as his fastball,

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 3: and I just want to know right now, was that

22
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 3: a prisoner of the moment thing? Or is that or

23
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: does Tim Kirchin still believe you Baldo him and as

24
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 3: his heavy fastball was better than Marianna rivers you on

25
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: the spot to me, Oh my.

26
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 5: God, well, I must have been drunk when I said that, because.

27
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 4: It is You're never drunk.

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 6: Baldo Jmenez.

29
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 5: Baldo Jimenez had an amazing first half of a season

30
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 5: years ago and people were actually saying, he has a

31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 5: pitch that nobody has ever seen before and ever thrown before,

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 5: to which I was sitting with Oral Herscheizer at the time,

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 5: who knows a little bit about pitching. He looked at

34
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 5: me and he goes, Tim, there is no pitch that

35
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 5: is being thrown today that.

36
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 6: Has never been thrown before.

37
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 5: So if I said that I was I was wrong

38
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 5: by one hundred miles.

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 6: That guy had great stuff.

40
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 5: But Mariano's cutter is arguably the greatest pitch because it's

41
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 5: really the only pitch she threw. He's the greatest closer

42
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 5: of all time. There is not a close second. I

43
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 5: will tell you though, that Paul Richards the one of

44
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 5: the great baseball men of all time. I really got

45
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 5: to know him in eighty two when he was with

46
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 5: the Rangers as the assistant general manager. He told me

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 5: that Hoyt Wilhelm's knuckleball was the greatest pitch in the

48
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 5: history of baseball, because he said the umpire couldn't call it,

49
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 5: the catcher couldn't catch it, and the hitter couldn't hit

50
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 5: it when Hoyt Wilhelm threw his great knuckleball.

51
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 6: But since I never saw that like I.

52
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 5: Saw Mariano's, I will say Mariano's cutter is the best

53
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 5: pitch in the history of baseball. I stand corrected. I

54
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 5: don't ever remember saying that. If I did, I apologize,

55
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 5: I mean this vulture. I hey, Jesus, he said it

56
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 5: in the moment. Who cares?

57
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,519
Speaker 7: I mean, tim, When was the last time you were hammered?

58
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 4: Have you ever been hammered?

59
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 6: Yes, of course I have.

60
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 5: I'm a grown man, but it's been a long time.

61
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 5: It doesn't It doesn't do me any good. I weigh

62
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 5: one hundred and forty pounds. I can't I can't hold anything.

63
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 5: I get buzzed very easily, which is why I don't

64
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 5: drink very often, because it doesn't do me any good.

65
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 5: But and my voice goes to a different octave when

66
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 5: I get that way, and it's already at a preposterously

67
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 5: high octave to begin with, so I try to stay

68
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 5: away from it.

69
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 4: Tim.

70
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 8: First off, I just want to say I love you.

71
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 8: I love baseball, consider myself in the same mold of

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 8: just somebody who loves baseball. Growing up, my girlfriend asked

73
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 8: me what did I want to do on my birthday?

74
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 8: I told her I want tickets to the World Baseball

75
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 8: Classic and I want to watch sixty one. Where would

76
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 8: you say sixty one ranks as a baseball movie because,

77
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 8: in my opinion, one of the most underrated bass great quests.

78
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, it is the second greatest baseball movie

79
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 5: of all time. Wow, Field of Dreams, Dreams this one

80
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 5: and always will be. And without sounding corny about this,

81
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 5: that story was about a father and a son, and

82
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 5: nobody loved his father more than I did.

83
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 6: He taught me.

84
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 5: Everything I needed to know about baseball and everything else.

85
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 5: I took my father to see that movie. We cried

86
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 5: like babies. I cry every time I watch it. So

87
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 5: that will always be the best baseball movie of all

88
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 5: time for me. But sixty one was tremendous because of

89
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 5: its attention to detail. So speaking of Hoit Wilhelm, Billy

90
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 5: Crystal God Tom Candiotti to play Hoit Wilhelm in the movie.

91
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 6: And Tom Candiotti, a.

92
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 5: Knuckleball pitcher, just been released and he was pissed about

93
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 5: just being released. So he comes to the movie shooting

94
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 5: and Billy says to him that Tom, I want this

95
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 5: has to be the most genuine movie. So I want

96
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 5: you to throw your best knuckle ball, no matter what.

97
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 5: So you know, Billy, Tommy Zaane whatever his name is

98
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 5: in the show, I forget which one was Mickey and

99
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 5: which was Roger.

100
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 6: Sorry about that. I love that movie.

101
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 5: So Tom Candiotti is now throwing his knuckleball as they're filming,

102
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 5: and the first fifty knuckleballs that he throws, Tommy Jane,

103
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, couldn't hit it.

104
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 6: He couldn't hit it. He couldn't even come close because

105
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 6: neither co you guys, and neither could I. It's a knuckleball.

106
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 5: So Billy has to come to the mound. Tommy Jane,

107
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 5: I think that's his name.

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 6: Sorry, Thomas Jane played Mantle.

109
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 5: Yes, sorry, So he comes to the Billy comes to

110
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 5: the mound during the filming and says, Tom, Okay, we

111
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 5: have a problem here. It's called It's called tape we

112
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 5: don't have enough tape for you to keep throwing knuckleball,

113
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 5: so throw like a softer knuckleball.

114
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 6: One that he might hit. So he throws like twenty

115
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 6: of those.

116
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 5: He still can't hit it, and he hits Tommy Jane

117
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 5: with a pitch and knocks, and now the entire crew

118
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 5: has run out, thinking that Tom Candiotty killed.

119
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 6: The star of the show because he hit him with

120
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 6: a pitch.

121
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 5: So Tommy Jane is lying there and tom Candiotty looks

122
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 5: down at him and says, I threw that pitch at

123
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 5: fifty miles an hour. And Tommy Jane said that means

124
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 5: I should get up right, And he said, yeah, you

125
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 5: should get up now. So he saved the day by

126
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 5: throwing a softer knuckleball, but he never did put the

127
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 5: ball in play. All they needed was a ball put

128
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 5: in play, and he couldn't do it. So finally Billy Crystal,

129
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 5: using the magic of photography, rolled the ball up the

130
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 5: first base line and made it look like he actually

131
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 5: hit it when he really didn't. That's another reason I

132
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 5: love sixty one because it was just so authentic.

133
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: Wow, what an answer for Taylor. I mean, Tim, you

134
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: love baseball more than anyone. I know you care about

135
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: this game. You know the game better than anyone, and

136
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm certain that the thought of a workstopage drives you crazy.

137
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 7: But are we headed towards well?

138
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: Let me ask it this way, Ted, do you think

139
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: there should be a salary cap at Major League Baseball?

140
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: And do you think we'll ever arrive at a place

141
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: where we have a salary cap in Major League Baseball?

142
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 6: All Right?

143
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 5: I don't think we're gonna have a salary cap anytime soon.

144
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 5: If you can prove to me that a salary cap

145
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 5: will make the game better than I will be on board.

146
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 6: But I'm not sold on that, Okay.

147
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 5: Stu Gott's I covered the eighty one strike that was

148
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 5: forty five years ago, and we're still arguing pretty much about.

149
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 6: The same thing.

150
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 5: Yes, and if the owners think that the players are

151
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 5: going to agree to a salary cap, they are mistake.

152
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 5: And if they hold out until they get a salary cap,

153
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 5: we will definitely have a work stoppage in twenty twenty seven,

154
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 5: and who.

155
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 6: Knows how long it could last.

156
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 5: I spoke to someone the other day who would probably

157
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 5: know better than a lot of people where we are,

158
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 5: and he said, I have never seen the two sides

159
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 5: this far apart with you know, eight, ten eleven months

160
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 5: away from where.

161
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 6: We have to get to.

162
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 5: So I was very discouraged to hear that I want

163
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 5: no part of a work stoppage. Baseball should want no

164
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 5: part of a work stoppage. But at the moment it

165
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 5: is not looking good.

166
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 8: Tim Nobody would argue I don't think that the Dodgers

167
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 8: are the best team on paper this season as we

168
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 8: get closer to opening Day, But who would you argue

169
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 8: as the second best team in baseball?

170
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 6: That is a great question.

171
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 5: Yes, I think the Phillies have a chance to be really,

172
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 5: really good, but a few things have to turn that

173
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 5: as Zach Wheeler has to come back earlier in the

174
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 5: expected and then be great the whole year. That's a

175
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 5: lot to ask. I'm not sure there is a great

176
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 5: team in the American League, but I just I just

177
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 5: saw Seattle and the Mariners pitching is so so good

178
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 5: starting pitching especially, and they added to their lineup, so

179
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 5: they might be the best team in the American League.

180
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 5: And I just saw the Tigers, and the Tigers have

181
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 5: really good starting pitching led by Trek Scooble and now

182
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 5: from Ervaldez, So I would say, right now it would

183
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 5: be it would be the Phillies, the Tigers, or the Mariners.

184
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 6: So I have to pick one.

185
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 5: I'll say Seattle is the second best team in baseball

186
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 5: right now.

187
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 7: Tim, How do you feel about what the Mets did

188
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 7: here in the offseason? Do the Mets get a lot better?

189
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 5: They'll be They'll be a lot better than last year

190
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 5: when they were obviously a disappointment. It does worry me

191
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 5: a little bit for their sake that they have added

192
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 5: so many new.

193
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 6: People to the team.

194
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 5: It's going to take a little while to figure out

195
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 5: if you know, Polanco can play first base and Boba

196
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 5: Schett can play third base?

197
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 6: And how injured is Francisco Lindor.

198
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 5: He says he'll be back on opening day, but that

199
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 5: hammate bone is a tricky situation. A new center fielder

200
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 5: in Luis Roberts, So I just don't know if I

201
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 5: think they have a real chance to be a playoff

202
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 5: team in the National League. So that makes them better

203
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 5: than last year. I just worry when it comes to

204
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 5: corny things like chemistry. Did they add too many pieces?

205
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 5: Are all the pieces going to fit together at.

206
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 6: The right time? That's where I think we are with

207
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 6: the Mets.

208
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 7: Timmy.

209
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: We'll get you out here in just a second. Do

210
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: you love the World Baseball Classic? It's somewhat. It feels

211
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: so much different than regular season.

212
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 6: Obviously, Yeah, I love it. Stu Gotts.

213
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 5: It has grown on me. At the beginning, I wasn't

214
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 5: sure about it. You know, how is this going to

215
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 5: work in spring training? We're stealing guys from teams? Are

216
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,599
Speaker 5: they going to play their best? Are they going to

217
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 5: play their hardest? But it has won me over the

218
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 5: last one did I covered a bunch of games at

219
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 5: Chase Field in Arizona, and it was like I would

220
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 5: go outside after the game and it was like there

221
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 5: was a party taking place on the streets of Phoenix

222
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 5: after that because the people, even with teams that weren't

223
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 5: winning this thing, we're just so excited to be there

224
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 5: and support their country. And now that I believe the

225
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 5: Americans are now in with both feet trying to win

226
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 5: this thing, and with the Dominicans and with the Japanese,

227
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 5: oh my god, what a great thing this will be.

228
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 5: So yes, I love the WBC. It has grown on me.

229
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 5: It's a great idea. I just hope nobody gets hurt

230
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 5: and affects the regular Major league season.

231
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 4: Final question, I get youat here.

232
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: Taylor sent me a video before Otani had five RBIs

233
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: and was a triple shy of the cycle in the

234
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: second inning. Is sho Otani the greatest baseball player you've

235
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: ever seen?

236
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 7: Tim?

237
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: I hear a lot of people saying it, Timmy. That's

238
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: why I'm asking you. I know I did.

239
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 5: I saw Willie Mays, and Willie Mays did it for

240
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 5: twenty years, so I'm still gonna go with Willie Mays.

241
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 5: But there's never been anybody like show A. And I

242
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 5: always say Babe Ruth is the greatest player of all time.

243
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 5: I still believe that based on his dominance pitching and

244
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 5: hitting when he played. But there's never been anybody like

245
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 5: show A. Someday I believe he will be the greatest

246
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 5: player of all time, and that day is coming soon.

247
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 5: I mean, Babe Ruth was great. I really believe in

248
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 5: nineteen twenty, if there was a DH in the American League,

249
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 5: Babe Ruth would have hit fifty homers in won twenty games.

250
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 5: But he didn't throw one hundred miles an hour. He

251
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 5: didn't hit pitches routine thrown at one hundred miles an hour,

252
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 5: and I hate eggs and velocity. But he didn't hit

253
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 5: the ball off the bat quite as hard as show

254
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 5: A did. So that's why there's never been anyone like him,

255
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 5: and I don't think there will ever be anybody like

256
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 5: him again.

257
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 6: It's remarkable.

258
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 5: Every single day I watch him play, it is breath taking.

259
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: Yep, well there's nobody like you. Is this a great

260
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: game or what? That's the podcast? Check it out wherever

261
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: you get your podcast. He does it with his son.

262
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. They talk baseball, they talk, you know, about

263
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: their relationship, and they talk about some fun stuff on there.

264
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 4: It's a very good listen.

265
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: Timmy love you, miss you appreciate the time. No, you

266
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: got a run, but I'm excited because baseball's around the.

267
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 7: Corner and that means more. Tim Kirschin on my television.

268

Speaker 2: Live weekdays at three pm Eastern twelve pm Pacific.

271
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 4: What a crazy twenty four hours. It's Ben Monsey in

272
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 4: the NBA. Because you heard Ryan Bersinger say that Jason

273
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 4: Tatum is on the verge. Of returning tonight for the

274
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 4: Celtics from his achilles injury. But it's also what happened

275
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: last night in the NBA that makes his twenty four

276
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: hours just a whirlwind of chaos in the association.

277
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 9: I feel like in the last twenty four hours we

278
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 9: can label the NBA the good, the bad.

279
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 10: And the funny. Ooh interesting, you know, not lovely, the funny.

280
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 4: Iowa Samdy like that the good, the bad, and the funny,

281
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 4: and I do He's cant. I didn't think there. Even

282
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: if he wasn't listening, he would he would have agreed

283
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 4: with whatever Manzi said.

284
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 11: Absolutely, there's no.

285
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 4: Doubt about that. It is also March sixth, so we

286
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: are really sliding in the March madness. And an hour

287
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 4: from now, March madness hit the state of Iowa like

288
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: you wouldn't believe. And right now the state of Iowa

289
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 4: is feeding off of that March madness because Drake is

290
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 4: leading Belmont in Arch madness. This is my favorite conference

291
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: tournament of the year, the Missouri Valley Conference. I was

292
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 4: off yesterday and I was wh Drake against Southern Illinois

293
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 4: play into this portion of the bracket. It's in Saint

294
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 4: Louis yes, the Missouri Valley Conference and while the schools

295
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 4: have changed, the arch madness has not. But we'll keep

296
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 4: you up to date on everything that has happened. You

297
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 4: want to know what ticks me off about the Jason

298
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 4: Tatum return tonight? Doesn't really tick me off, but just

299
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 4: kind of irks me a bit.

300
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 10: What this is? Uh, I think the bad?

301
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 4: This is the bad. Let's be real. If you follow

302
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 4: the NBA, if you like the NBA, even if you're

303
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 4: an NBA casual, you have disdain for the Boston Celtics.

304
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 4: Like they are just they are not a team that

305
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 4: you're like, yeah, I kind of like them. They just

306
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 4: you don't like you're either a diehard Celtics fan or

307
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 4: you just don't like the Boston Celtics. And this season

308
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 4: was the exception to that rule because with Jason Tatum

309
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 4: going down with this injury, last year, you had Jalen

310
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 4: Brown being the only superstar. They reset. There's no more

311
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 4: porzingis no more Drew Holiday. And I think going into

312
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: the season, at least I was expecting I wasn't expecting

313
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: much from Boston this year, and in fact, Manci, I

314
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 4: even thought, maybe Boston's just gonna kind of throw on

315
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 4: the towel and see what they can do draft wise

316
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 4: and add another piece, and then they'll just be back

317
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 4: up near the top of the East in the next season.

318
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,359
Speaker 4: But what happens is Peyton Pritchard's playing out of his mind.

319
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 4: They end up them making some trade deadline deals, and

320
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 4: now they're getting Jason Tatum back, and they completely in

321
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 4: the short window that you could say, look at the field,

322
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: good Celtics shorthanded with no Tatum, and they let go

323
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 4: of the veterans. They're just they're the little engine that could.

324
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 4: And now here they are in the Eastern Conference with

325
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 4: the return of Jason Tatum. And whether it works or

326
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 4: not we will find out over the next couple of months.

327
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 4: But I think the prevailing sentiment is that Boston is

328
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 4: now there to take the East and to overtake the

329
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 4: Detroit Pistons. And so any feel good moment that you

330
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 4: had with the Boston Celtics that I admittedly, even as

331
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 4: a Milwaukee Bucks fan who the Bucks are falling on

332
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 4: their face this season, it was like, you know what,

333
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 4: it's kind of neat to see what Boston's doing, completely

334
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 4: wiped out, erased. Now that Jason Tatum is back in

335
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 4: Boston and set to play a night against the MAVs,

336
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 4: likely making them the favorite in the East.

337
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 9: I think that's a really good way to put it,

338
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 9: because it's like, I don't I don't hate the Celtics,

339
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 9: but I definitely don't like them, right, Like that's I'm

340
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 9: not rooting for the Celtics.

341
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 10: I don't. I don't like them, I don't hate them.

342
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 9: I'm not a Laker fan, so it's I don't have that,

343
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 9: but I definitely am not a person that's rooting for

344
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 9: the Celtics.

345
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 10: But this season watching them, you're like, Wow, good for you.

346
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 10: Like you said Peyton.

347
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 9: Fritchard coming uh was a coming off the bench last

348
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 9: season as a starter. Now Jalen Brown saying this is

349
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 9: his funnest season ever, not the season where he won

350
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 9: a championship and was the NBA Finals MVP. This is

351
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 9: his most favorite season. They're having fun and they got

352
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 9: on a nice little run. There was like a few

353
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 9: games at the start of season you were like, Okay,

354
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,239
Speaker 9: how is this team going to survive this season? I

355
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 9: also with you, thought that maybe they would just throw

356
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 9: in the towel and see what comes out of it.

357
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 9: They're in second place in the Eastern Conference right now,

358
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 9: and I think only three teams from both the East

359
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 9: and the West have a better record than the Celtics.

360
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 10: They're doing really well.

361
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 9: I think it's a bad idea to bring Jason Tatum

362
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 9: back into.

363
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 4: The mix, messing up the chemistry.

364
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 10: Messing up the chemistry. Also, it seems rushed.

365
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 9: I'm no medical expert, but this is a really serious injury.

366
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 10: There is always a risk of you getting injured again.

367
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 9: And not that anybody wants off for Jason Tatum, but

368
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 9: why the rush to come back so quickly, especially.

369
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 10: Because Jason Tatum, you are an NBA champion. There is

370
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 10: nothing that you need. Maybe you want that champion, MVP Finals, MVP,

371
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 10: but you are an.

372
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 9: NBA champion and you're gonna come in and it's not

373
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 9: like you're coming in as like a six man. You're

374
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 9: coming in trying to put yourself back into the star

375
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 9: rotation because you are Jason Tatum.

376
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 10: Why would you want this If you're.

377
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 9: Boston things are going well, preserve Jason Tatum and make

378
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 9: sure that he's one hundred and ten percent healthy, not

379
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 9: just ninety percent, because you don't need him.

380
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 4: You know the you know the answer to it is

381
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum doesn't want to feel left out, But you

382
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 4: can't have follow You're already a champion. If they if

383
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 4: they win, or if they win successfully and move on,

384
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 4: and who knows, maybe without him they end up making

385
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 4: a run to the NBA finals. That there's there's that

386
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 4: fomo and look, they did it without him and it

387
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 4: becomes expendable. It's we talk about it all the time.

388
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 11: For sure.

389
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 9: What would be worse though you you have Fomo or

390
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 9: you come in and disrupt everything and you are the

391
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 9: reason why the Celtics fall apart.

392
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 4: I think that is worse, But I don't think that's

393
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 4: how he thinks. Yeah. Probably, I don't think that he

394
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 4: is worried about that. I also think that his confidence

395
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 4: and by the way, if it was up to the

396
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 4: Celtics to just be like, hey, why don't you hold on,

397
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 4: you know, hold off a little bit on this, then

398
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 4: you can end up building friction. I think it's totally

399
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 4: up to Jason Tatum to be honest with you, and

400
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 4: so I just don't think that that's in his his

401
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 4: thought process that it could actually fail. When I think

402
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 4: a lot of people are saying it's gonna fail and

403
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 4: maybe either for Boston to be careful what you wish for.

404
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 4: And I don't want to say Boston falls on their

405
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 4: face like you're saying they're gonna do with Jason Tatum

406
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 4: because there is no chemistry. But I think that would

407
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 4: be something that a lot of us would be rooting for.

408
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 10: It would be a great story. We would love to

409
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 10: talk about that.

410
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 9: It would be great for us, absolutely, But it's like

411
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 9: you're again, You're coming in to be the guy again, right,

412
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 9: You're not coming in to try and insert yourself as

413
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 9: the number four, number five option. And I don't know

414
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 9: how Jalen Brown.

415
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 10: Is gonna feel about this. This is gonna change perspective

416
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 10: on the side.

417
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 4: We know Jalen Brown probably feels about this.

418
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 10: It just is it really worth it?

419
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 9: And I look at it as a business decision for Boston.

420
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 10: You're you're right, this is all Jason Tatum.

421
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 9: He's he does not want to miss he doesn't want

422
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 9: them to win without him.

423
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 10: But it's like, you're already a champion, and I don't

424
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 10: know if it's worth the risk.

425
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 9: Look at it like a business decision and protecting your

426
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 9: number one asset.

427
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 4: I think he's the less champion of any of the

428
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 4: champions that we've had, Like even SGA's championship, I think

429
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 4: is more SGA for Oklahoma City, like Denver Jokic, the

430
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 4: Bucks had Giannis and this Raptors were Kawhi. You take

431
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 4: all of those players in rank them, Jason Tatum's last

432
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 4: in that list, and I think that there is a

433
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 4: feeling of that. It's why he tried to copy every

434
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 4: NBA superstar with all of their stuff, like there's there's

435
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 4: something with that. But Jason Tatum's a great player. To

436
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 4: your point about how the chemistry is going to play

437
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 4: out now that he's with Boston, I think that makes

438
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 4: them the favorites. I hope the Pistons turn into the

439
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 4: bad boy Pistons and Kate Cunningham Durns the you know,

440
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 4: Isaiah Thomas and Isaiah Stewart's Bill Lambier if he isn't

441
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 4: already and set the tone. But when I heard Jason

442
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 4: Tatum coming, it was coming back. I'm like, all right,

443
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 4: you go, Pistons. Because I was like the one year

444
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 4: of the Yankees when Judge was a rookie and they

445
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 4: didn't spend and they had a bunch of young players.

446
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 4: I bring this up it was the one year like

447
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 4: you could be a Yankees fan and then Judge's you know,

448
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 4: Rookie of the Year, you know, monster numbers, and then

449
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 4: they go back to being the Yankees. You're like, okay,

450
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 4: I hate them. That's kind of how I feel about

451
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 4: the Boston Celtics. Now the Lakers. The Lakers another brand,

452
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 4: a bigger which I think bigger than the Boston Celtics.

453
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 4: Lebron James is always a topic. Here's the question, what

454
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 4: the heck happened to Lebron last night in Denver? Because

455
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 4: when you look at the foul that happened on committed

456
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 4: by Nicola Jokich. I watched the replay three times and

457
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 4: had no idea which elbow he actually hurt.

458
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 9: Well, he had to grab both just to make sure

459
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 9: because he was thinking which way did I land?

460
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 10: Which one?

461
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 9: I'll just grab both elbows at the same time and

462
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 9: roll for a second and then figure it out.

463
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 10: It was so funny.

464
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 4: Do you see this? Do you guys see this last time?

465
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 4: Him rolling on the court with his hands covering his elbows.

466
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 10: Didn't even touch him, No, she didn't even touch him.

467
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 9: He gets the layup in falls to the floor, but

468
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 9: grabs both elbows like he's rocking a baby.

469
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 4: Yes, so this is so just just to recap, we're

470
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 4: not even we're not even halfway through. Lebron somehow it

471
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 4: hurts elbows last night and we don't even know which

472
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 4: one it is. It could he could be out for

473
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 4: two weeks and we have no idea what happened to

474
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 4: him last night in Denver. He was a record center.

475
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 4: We'll get to that later on on the show. He

476
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 4: did set a new NBA record last night. So then

477
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum's coming back wenbs thirty eight and sixteen against

478
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 4: the aforementioned Pistons.

479
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 9: So, by the way, the funny was Lebron James of

480
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 9: the Good the Battle the funny, Yes, Lebron James is

481
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 9: the funny.

482
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 10: The good is Victor one by all Right you like that?

483
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, no, great, but nobody cares.

484
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 10: Nobody cares.

485
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 4: How about Trey Young? You know, Trey Young debuted last

486
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 4: night against the Jazz The Wizard's lost. Trey Young made

487
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 4: his season debut, scored twelve points and then like it

488
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 4: told Sports Center like you're gonna I think it was

489
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 4: Sports Center. I forgot the clip, but they asked, like,

490
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 4: what can we expect and he's like, I'm gonna show

491
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 4: you and not tell you. And I'm like, nobody's watching

492
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 4: Wizards games. No one is. Why don't you just tell us.

493
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 9: And save social media after the fact final You're gonna

494
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 9: watch the highlights.

495
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 10: That's what it means.

496
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 4: I mean they lost to the Jazz last night, and

497
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 4: the biggest story was that Trey Young has made his

498
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 4: debut at twelve points to nineteen minutes, and I anytime

499
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 4: not watching the Washington Wizards is time well spent for me.

500
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 4: So I am not going to be watching. I wish

501
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 4: Trey Young just would have told us. I also wish

502
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 4: it is this is Russell Westbrook, the good, the bad,

503
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 4: the funny.

504
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 10: He's all of it. You don't know what you're gonna

505
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 10: get from it, but he's another bad.

506
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 4: Okay, this is where we're gonna land this plane because

507
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 4: it was late last night in the cloak of darkness

508
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 4: where Russell Westbrook all of a sudden had this all

509
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 4: out attack. And this is a snippet of it. This

510
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 4: is a six minute exchange, an attack on the media

511
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 4: in the great City of Sacramento.

512
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 12: You don't I'll compete. This is a game.

513
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 13: You're a professional guard and play and that's all you

514
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 13: can do, which I think though, because y'all got a

515
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 13: lot of answers and you'll always be talking.

516
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 12: Oh, it's very interesting. Nobody y'all don't got no. No,

517
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 12: you guys have a lot of opinions about how we do,

518
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 12: what we're doing.

519
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 6: What you got no you yeah.

520
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 12: You make a lot of statements and broad statements that

521
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 12: you have no context. So where do you get your

522
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 12: contexts from? Are you in practice? Are you at our

523
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 12: film session? Are you anywhere around the building?

524
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 4: Yes?

525
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 12: No, I haven't seen that practice. So the false context

526
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 12: of and actually, do you know me? No, you don't

527
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 12: know me. You don't know me. You don't know me,

528
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 12: but you make a lot of comments as though you

529
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 12: do know me.

530
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 6: I'm a bunch of basketball.

531
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 12: No, no, no, you don't mind intent. I see it,

532
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 12: I see it anybody else. Do you guys have any

533
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 12: comments about how we play?

534
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 6: What?

535
00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 9: What are we doing?

536
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 12: You guys are quiet today, but you guys have a

537
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 12: lot of comments when the game's going on, after the game,

538
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 12: what we're doing, when we should be doing, how we

539
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 12: should be doing it. I'm confused, so am I?

540
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're here. You must have in our.

541
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 12: Film session too.

542
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 13: I'm not on your film session, but you guys have

543
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 13: the worst record in the NBA.

544
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 4: Six minutes of that, and when actually Russell Westbrook was

545
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 4: questioned about it, he didn't have actual receipts on what

546
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 4: people were saying. But imagine this, You just spent your

547
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 4: night away from your family having to take in Sacramento

548
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 4: Kings basketball, and you get dressed down by Russell Westbrook

549
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 4: for what you're saying in a postgame or an after game,

550
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 4: in a blog, on a radio station, in a newspaper,

551
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 4: whatever the case may be, after you lose to the

552
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 4: New Orleans Pelicans by ten. I just have no idea

553
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 4: where Russell Westbrook is going. I don't think he had

554
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 4: receipts Manci, and the fact that he's wondering why reporters

555
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 4: aren't at practice or in film rooms, it's just it's

556
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 4: so ridiculous, and it felt like Russell Westbrook just wanted

557
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 4: to leave with his pound of flesh and this poor

558
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 4: innocent grouping who again had to endure two hours of

559
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 4: King's basketball then ended up getting scolded afterwards. What an

560
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 4: awful evening for anybody that covers the Sacramento Okay, yeah, a.

561
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 9: Lot of bad, A lot of bad, not a lot

562
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 9: of good, and very little funny. But that I think

563
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 9: it came from somewhere real. It's just so he jumped

564
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 9: the shark, Like I'm sure I feel like Russell Westbrook

565
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 9: based on what we know about him in his history,

566
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 9: he seems to be the guy to read comments, to

567
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 9: read things that are being written about him and the team,

568
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 9: and so obviously I think it does come from somewhere

569
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 9: that he read something is real.

570
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 10: But then he jumped the shark with all of the

571
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 10: scolding and like, are you at practice?

572
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 9: But like you said, some people can't go into your practice, right,

573
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 9: they're not allowed to be there. Actually only maybe, like

574
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 9: your beat reporters are those who are part of your team,

575
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 9: but you know, the people that are covering you from afar.

576
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 10: All they can tell you is that your team is

577
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 10: not good.

578
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 4: Fourteen and fifty, you're.

579
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 9: Not good, Like it has to be frustrating for if

580
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 9: you're Russell Westbrook.

581
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 4: I also left that exchange still not understanding what Russell

582
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 4: Westbrook wanted, and then we didn't play the whole thing.

583
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 4: I don't know if you wanted some grace for some

584
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 4: of the younger players and what they're going through. But

585
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 4: it wasn't necessarily explained that way. It just felt like

586
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 4: it was an all out assault on the Kings and

587
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 4: what is happening with the Kings on the court that

588
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 4: Russell Westbrook had no receipts for Jason Stewart.

589
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 14: I remember reading a piece in his rookie year. So

590
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 14: he came out of UCLA as just kind of this

591
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 14: athletic guy and everything, but I don't think he was

592
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 14: like a polished basketball player yet. But I remember a

593
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 14: piece in SI and the reason I read it remember

594
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 14: it is because we had him on the Jim Rome

595
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 14: Show soon after, and I remember the author of the

596
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 14: piece put up perfectly that Russell Westbrook treats every question

597
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 14: from the media like it's an accusation. And think about that.

598
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 14: I think that's twenty years ago, whenever he came out

599
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 14: and was a rookie. So over twenty years, this guy

600
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 14: has not learned that these battles with the media does

601
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 14: nothing but make him look like a jerk. You would

602
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 14: think that over time he would have some kind of

603
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 14: a nuanced relationship with the media and fans. By the way,

604
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 14: because last year he made news for picking fights with

605
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 14: fans and that whole Westbrook thing, like this guy hasn't

606
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 14: learned anything over twenty years.

607
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 4: No, And I'll tell you what. There are some media

608
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 4: markets this happens way more in college than it does

609
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 4: in the pros. But Sacramento. And it's not to say

610
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 4: that Sacramento is a small town. The point is they're

611
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 4: the only show in town. So when the only show

612
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 4: in town is fourteen and fifty, sometimes the team has

613
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 4: a lot to say. When you get in some college towns,

614
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 4: the university and let's just say the Kansas Mend's basketball

615
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 4: program like that runs the news in Lauren. Whatever is

616
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 4: happening is about Kansas basketball. And it's actually difficult to

617
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 4: be a reporter in those spots because, and I'm just

618
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 4: using Kansas as an example, the university dominates so much.

619
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 4: Then if you have a descending or a comment that

620
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 4: isn't pro university or pro the athletics, it's a tough

621
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 4: spot to be as a reporter. Now, try to be

622
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 4: in Sacramento when your team's fourteen and fifty and doing

623
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 4: your job, like there's what else are you gonna talk about?

624
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 4: You're gonna talk about the A's upcoming season, For like

625
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 4: what like it is a it is a tough spot.

626
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 4: So for Russell Westbrook to attack the media like that,

627
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 4: and if it was in New York, or if it

628
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 4: was in Philadelphia, or if it was in DC or Chicago,

629
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 4: you could actually maybe signe with Russell Westbrook a little bit,

630
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 4: but there's just no way in signing and why he's

631
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 4: trying to take it out on the Sacramento media totally.

632
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 9: I again, I like Russell Westbrook and hearing this, it

633
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 9: was like, what do you want them to say? Good?

634
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 10: Good try?

635
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 9: Like it's almost like he wants like a good job

636
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 9: for trying, but it's like, no, you've looked bad.

637
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 10: You've looked not you, Russell Westbrook.

638
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 9: The Kings have looked bad this entire season, and then

639
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 9: with all the injuries.

640
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 10: I don't even know who plays alongside Russell Westbrook, you

641
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 10: know what I'm saying. Everybody else is injured.

642
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 9: So I just it just seemed like he wanted the

643
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 9: reports or the stories to be like, yeah, the Kings

644
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,479
Speaker 9: aren't good, but boy are they trying.

645
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 10: They're really trying.

646
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 9: They're going out there every day and it's like, but

647
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 9: that's again, I love Russell Westbrook, and it didn't make them.

648
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 10: Look good at all.

649
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 4: Have your ownership in GM's fight those battles. And I

650
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 4: understand that there's a responsibility as a VET, but I

651
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 4: also felt like he wanted that conflict. I saw a

652
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 4: TikTok of a guy wanting to fight someone in a

653
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 4: parking lot with a whole group around him for three

654
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 4: and a half minutes, and he just danced around and

655
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 4: did some like you know, karate short of moves. There

656
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 4: was zero fight whatsoever. And that's what it felt was.

657
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 10: That's what it felt like.

658
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 4: With Russell Westbrook. There's your twenty four hours in the NBA.

659
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 4: She's Watzi Belaio. So I'm Dan Byer, Jason Stewart, Iowa,

Speaker 4: the weekend. Hope you enjoyed Stu Gotts's conversation with Tim Kirkchen,

668
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 4: even the parts he heard twice. It's like for the effect,

669
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 4: like if you missed it, hear it again. Because this

670
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 4: is important, This is very important, so much, Jason thought

671
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 4: the end of the interview, I want to do this now, Jason,

672
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 4: you thought that Tim Kirkchen said something very interesting at

673
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 4: the end of that interview with Stu gotts In calling

674
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 4: Shohei Otani the second best baseball player he's ever seen?

675
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 4: Is that proper way to put it? Yep?

676
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 14: Stu Austin if he's the best player he's ever seen.

677
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 14: And Tim said, I was able to see Willie Mays

678
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 14: play baseball, and Willie did it for twenty years. So

679
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 14: until show Hey puts more years up, he's gonna stick

680
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 14: with Willy.

681
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 4: Now, that's tough for any of us to weigh in

682
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 4: on Willie May's right, but I do think that overwhelmingly

683
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 4: Like with show Hey, now, I don't know, I don't know,

684
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 4: like the pushback, like it's either Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron

685
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 4: or Willie Mays that we're pushing back. Maybe Mickey Mantle.

686
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 4: But the conversation of show Hey and what he's done

687
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 4: so far, I think he's probably top five easily.

688
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 9: I think if he were to say I'm done today

689
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 9: after this World Baseball Classic, I'm done playing baseball forever.

690
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go be a dad to my kids and

691
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 9: my pop and be a husband, he would top five,

692
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 9: no question. He's the greatest player I've ever seen. There's

693
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 9: no question about it.

694
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 4: I think he's really old.

695
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 10: He's the greatest player I've ever seen.

696
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 9: But it kind of is this kind of like the

697
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 9: situation in the NBA with like Nicola Jokic, Like Nicola

698
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 9: Jokic is the best basketball.

699
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 10: Player, but I don't know if people say he's any

700
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 10: sort of goat.

701
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 4: But I think it's different, you know, Like, yeah, like

702
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 4: I basketball, we have the Lebron and Jordan conversation, right,

703
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 4: and they're while they're not in the same generation, they're

704
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 4: in back to back generations. It's tough when Willie Mays

705
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 4: is playing in the nineteen sixties and he's playing in

706
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 4: twenty twenty six, right, So that's like, that's the tough

707
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 4: part about it. But that's also what makes baseball like

708
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 4: so intriguing in what it For so long it was

709
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 4: baseball was appealing because of the history and the history

710
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 4: behind it. Football I think you could have certain arguments,

711
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 4: but the problem with football is there's so many different

712
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 4: positions and so many different players. There are players who

713
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 4: have you know, grabbed your attention for a while in

714
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 4: the National Football League. But it's just difficult to me.

715
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 4: It's difficult to compare Lawrence Taylor to Joe Montana, right, Like,

716
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 4: I don't know how they played the same era, but

717
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 4: they're different positions, different sides of the ball, completely different

718
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 4: skill set. You know, how are we going to compare

719
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 4: those two? It's different in baseball when you've got someone

720
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 4: plays like Show he doesn't adding pitching to his ruppertoire,

721
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 4: but Willie Mays maybe better defensively in those scenarios, but also.

722
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 10: A different position.

723
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, Like even with that, it's also you're comparing

724
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 9: a little bit different.

725
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 10: But no, he's I like, he still makes me my

726
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 10: jaw drop sho Tani.

727
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 9: Just when I think I'm like he can't possibly match

728
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 9: this moment, he does another moment.

729
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 10: Like I just it's incredible.

730
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think with the World Baseball Classic,

731
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 4: like he hit a Grand Slam last night, Jason, he

732
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 4: said it was all over social media. Oh yeah, and

733
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 4: I'm like, what did he homer off someone from Great Britain?

734
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 4: I don't know, And you said they played Chinese type.

735
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 4: Had no disrespect to those But we've seen shohy other

736
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 4: big moments come up big so a Grand Slam last night,

737
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 4: but it was yeah of the drama right right, yes,

738
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 4: where it's always a show and that's and there are

739
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 4: very few players that can have that aspect of it.

740
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 4: You have shows, you have your show hate and Manzi

741
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,439
Speaker 4: is choking Manci Milanios. Do we have a medic here

742
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 4: on Stutatson Company here on Fox Sports right now?

743
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 9: I got excited when you said showtime because that's what

744
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 9: my shirt said, and then I got too excited and

745
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 9: I swallowed spit the wrong way.

746
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 10: That's what happened.

747
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 4: Do we have Do we have Stephen Nelson's call from

748

Speaker 4: that's a lot for one post.

765
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 14: So if you take the aggregate of every single social

766
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 14: media entity, I think it's been shared a billion times.

767
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 4: Well, Iowa Sam's picture of his girlfriend's backyard in the shed,

768

Speaker 4: which tomorrow is the one year anniversary of that picture,

769
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 4: got about five thousand weeks vacations. But compared compared to

770
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 4: the show, Hey, it's just pales in comparison. But this

771
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 4: is there's something that happened in Iowa yesterday that has

772
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 4: nothing to do with a shed or a backyard that

773
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 4: looks like holand in World War two, it doesn't look

774
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 4: it's just dark in drab. Remember that picture. Let me

775
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 4: tell you said that, Yes, World War two very dark.

776
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 4: It was a room that's march in Iowa for you, you

777
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 4: don't see the sun last night in Iowa there was

778
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 4: a high school state basketball game, a semi final game.

779
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 4: You know these schools, you know Norwalk, YEP? Is it

780
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 4: DC Grimes? Is that Dallas Center Grind. I think they're

781
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 4: I want to say they're two A. They play two

782
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 4: A level. DC g was down four points with thirty

783
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 4: five seconds to go, and this is how it sounded.

784
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 4: I'm gonna call it on the Iowa State High School

785
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 4: Basketball Network. This is how it sounded.

786
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 16: Baseline inbounds A lot of times that could set up

787
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 16: a two point basket pretty quickly.

788
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 4: If you need one, you gotta get it in.

789
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 16: Though they do go for the quick two on the

790
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 16: baseline inbounds, the clock does not stop in high school basketball.

791
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 4: It continues to run and they turn it over Smid.

792
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 11: For two more stars, far straight for Smid. We're tied

793
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 11: forty two, forty.

794
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 10: Two Smid again, Cats Stores.

795
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 15: Oh, by mercy, what just happened?

796
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 10: Nobody knows?

797
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 11: Aver Smith just scored six straight.

798
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 17: Dallas Center Grimes leads for the first time in the

799
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 17: game with nineteen seconds to go.

800
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 4: Uh, Dallas Center Grimes to the comeback. Ava Smid, the sophomore,

801
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 4: the star of it, which is absolutely points off the

802
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 4: inbound steal points another steal points and the next thing

803
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 4: you know, Dcg's on top.

804
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 10: She wasn't worried about celebrating. She was worried about making

805
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 10: the next play.

806
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 9: And we never we don't see that, even in professional sports.

807
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,359
Speaker 9: Sometimes we see the celebration and you don't go back

808
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 9: on defense. This girl was in the zone and that

809
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 9: call by the guy was so good. He did such

810
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 9: a good job in that call, and he even his

811
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 9: voice like you said, nice the end of it.

812
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 4: Listen to how many times it goes higher and higher

813
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 4: after each play. When we talk about march madness, people,

814
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 4: it's not just college basketball. We all know that it's everything,

815
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 4: and high school basketball makes up so much of it.

816
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 4: So just listen to the voice and the octave ranges

817
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 4: of the play by play announcer.

818
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 16: Baseline inbounds A lot of times that could set up

819
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 16: a two point basket pretty quickly.

820
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 4: If you need one, you gotta get it in, though

821
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:58,919
Speaker 4: they do go for the quick too.

822
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 16: On the baseline in bounds. The clock does not stop

823
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 16: in high school basketball. It continues to run and the

824
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 16: turnover smid for two more scars, four straight for Spid.

825
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 16: We're time forty two, forty two spin again.

826
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 15: Oh bye, Mercy, what just happened?

827
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 7: Nobody?

828
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 17: Hey, you spid just scored six straight Dallas center Grimes

829
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 17: leads for the first time in the game with nineteen

830
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 17: seconds to go.

831
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 4: They scored, Yeah, six points in like three seconds. It

832
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 4: truly was. It wasn't three seconds, but it was down

833
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 4: near close.

834
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 10: It is so fast, so quick.

835
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 9: That sound of the color commentator, let's say, and her saying,

836
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 9: nobody knows You're like, did that?

837
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 10: Does someone insert that drop?

838
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give you some inside the walls. I'm gonna

839
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 4: break the fourth wall and tell you what that is.

840
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 4: Please tell I was able to and earlier in my career,

841
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 4: do high school basketball games for the Wisconsin Radio Network.

842
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:56,959
Speaker 12: Fun.

843
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 4: What you would do during the state tournament. It broadcasts

844
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 4: throughout the state because you have teams throughout the state,

845
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 4: and what they would normally do is they would get

846
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 4: you a high school coach to be your analyst. Okay,

847
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 4: so while I had a broadcasting background and was working

848
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 4: at a local station, they kind of take your group.

849
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 4: They're like, hey, could three or four year guys from

850
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 4: the station called games. Yeah, for sure, all right, We'll

851
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 4: get coaches to line up for you and do it.

852
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 4: So whoever was doing the analyst right there, I swear

853
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 4: had to be a coach of some sort of women's

854
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 4: girls team that has zero experience really doing this. So

855
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 4: you have a professional announcer, like the play by play

856
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 4: guy reaching the moment, and then you have the high

857
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 4: school coach of I don't know Cedar Rapids West. I

858
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 4: don't even know if there's a if that's even a

859
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 4: high school Iowa Sam. The point is is they're not

860
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 4: fit for that spot. But that's okay because it's just

861
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 4: it's high school hoops and it's all awesome. Nobody knows

862
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 4: and oh my goodness, it is so magnificent, she liked.

863
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 14: She answered a question literally that was that was not

864
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 14: supposed to be answer her. What just happened is the exclamation.

865
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 14: It doesn't need an answer.

866
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 4: Here's the It's a rhetorical question, right, it is accept

867
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 4: except if you are the analyst who is there to

868
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 4: actually answer that question. The last person in the world

869
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 4: that you would say don't know should be the analyst

870
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 4: who was there to answer every single question. You could

871
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 4: be like the press got and I'm not harping on

872
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 4: the duty of it. I think it makes the call.

873
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 4: So much better. But you're absolutely right. It was a

874
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 4: rhetorical question. But this she wasn't savvy enough to catch

875
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 4: on because.

876
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 10: She was watching the game. She forgot she was working

877
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 10: for a second.

878
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 4: But the one person that I actually needed to know

879
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 4: was hers her. Yeah, nobody knows, and you're not going

880
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 4: to hear it from me even No, that's my job.

881
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 4: But it was one hundred percent rhetorical. It was one

882
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 4: hundred percent rhetorical. Do you want to hear what would

883
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 4: happen if she called other games?

884
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 10: Yes? I would love to hear that.

885
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 4: All right, let's let's let's try number. Let's try number

886
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 4: like I'm gonna go with my beg of tricks here,

887
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 4: let me just draw a number. Let's do number two.

888
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 4: I would sam nobody knows, Thank goodness, no one answered

889
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 4: El Michael's.

890
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's the thing. I just looked it up. Actually,

891
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 14: Ken Dryden was the guy on the call. It would

892
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 14: have been like, it would have been like, do you

893
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 14: believe in miracles? And then, without any hesitation, Ken Dryden

894
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 14: would have been like, you know what, I didn't until

895
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 14: something happened with my mom once.

896
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 4: Oh, drawing in the beg of tricks number three, Moncie.

897
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 18: Third down and five.

898
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 4: Let's hill Bucks on the car.

899
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 18: Crash your front, Thomas off the edgy Limanning stays on

900
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 18: his feet. Here's it about down the field. It is

901
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 18: caught by tyree Hey inside the twenty five and a

902
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 18: time out taken. Oh my god, this ball is thrown

903
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 18: and Tyragius goes up for like a basketball player, Harrison

904
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 18: trying to knock it down and Eli man I don't

905
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:19,760
Speaker 18: know how he got.

906
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 11: Out of there.

907
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 13: Nobody knows.

908
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 4: No thought he was on the.

909
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 18: Ground and and then he came out of the pile

910
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 18: and just slings it.

911
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 4: Not even Eli Manning knows how he got out of there.

912
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 10: It's just so she really it caught her off guard.

913
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 10: I'm telling you.

914
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 9: I sounded like she forgot she was working, she was

915
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 9: watching the game, and she was so into it and

916
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 9: then realized she had to maybe say something.

917
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 10: I was like answering the literal.

918
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 9: Question, like Jesus said, nobody knows, nobody knows.

919
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 10: But it's like nobody.

920
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 4: Knows we got any more? We got, we got any more?

921
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 4: All right, Yeah, let's let's play it. Let's hear it,

922
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 4: let see it and see what we got. Number four

923
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 4: of the game right now, idiot high Bypa in.

924
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 11: The White veil.

925
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 6: She is gone.

926
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 15: In the year that the house been so improbable, the

927
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 15: impossible has happened.

928
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 7: Nobody knows.

929
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 4: Yes, nobody knows. Oh, I love the Highlight. I feel

930
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 4: really bad for the girl who had the inbound and

931
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 4: kept turning it over. Yes, the saving graces is nobody

932
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 4: is focusing on that.

933
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 10: Nobody's not at all.

934
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's those moments where you know it's it's

935
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,920

Speaker 4: So thank you Corvette Guy. Oh so you're correct? Is

978
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 4: I'm the one who said four the two A. But

979
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 4: they're actually a much higher class. They played in the

980
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 4: class that I and same as my high school. So

981

00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 4: some Here's the other great thing about the video that

983
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 4: you'll see. Number one, whoever did the TikTok didn't get

984
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 4: the full score right, But you're also like, it's a

985
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 4: shop that doesn't do basketball games all the time, so

986
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 4: the score is slow to change. But also whoever recorded

987
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 4: it got a text message a text message during their recording,

988
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 4: so the message pops up on the screen when they

989
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 4: were recording their own screen putting it together. And that's

990
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,279
