00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,759

Speaker 1: I had a great time.

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: I went with you guys to the Eugene, Oregon Graduate

41
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: Hotels remote and I was like a little taste of

42
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: it and then this was like times ten. It was

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: my first time in Vegas outside of driving through it

44
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: in the middle, like in the middle of the night.

45
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: I had a great time. I had a great time.

46
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: Carls are awesome, man. It's what a community you guys

47
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: have built.

48
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: Carls. By the way, Covino and Rich Carls, I thought

49
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: you ate at Carls j Carl's in charge. And by

50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: the way, yeah, the party wasn't at Carls Junior. It

51
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: was at Circa in Vegas and we were at Stadium

52
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: Swim and again our Friday broadcast was lying from there,

53
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: so catched a podcast. But this is the last time

54
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: we're going to say it because we celebrated twenty years

55
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: of Cavino and Rich. Why the last time because we're

56
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: still the youngest in the game, and I feel like

57
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: that dates us a little bit. Remember we started doing

58
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: our show when we were twelve. So hey, if you

59
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,840

60
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,680

Speaker 1: It was a party. Indeed, I was very impressed by this.

64
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,560

68
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: weirdos at all, no fights, no drama, just a lot

69
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: of people having fun and a good mix of our

00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: old school listeners because we've been doing it for so

71
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: long and a lot of the new friends we've met

72
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: along the way from Fox Sports Radio. So you guys

73
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 1: are always welcome to our events. And again we hope

74
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: to bring the show to you. We like taking a

75
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: show on the road too, so hey, coming soon, we

76
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: got a party again. This isn't the last to round

77
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: by any means, this is the start yep. So that

78
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: being said, Sam brought the party, We brought the excitement,

79
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Danny g giving out prizes, dancing, having fun. I think

80
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: we may have had more fun than the actual Thunder

81
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: winning the NBA finals, be honest with us, meeting and

82
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: greeting and having fun and hanging with all the supporters

83
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: of our show way more fun than the celebration yesterday.

84
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: Okahoma c any Thunder couldn't even open champagne bottles or

85
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: I just don't it out there for speculation, like there

86
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: is a sense today of maybe relief, right, like, man

87
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: that was crazy just got in yesterday. There's relief in

88
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: the air today. Maybe his sense of relief like I

89
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: am seeing Caruso celebrating lots of hogs. Maybe after a

90
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: long season like that. It's the weakest thing I've ever seen.

91
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: In fact, I saw the perfect compilation and play along

92
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: with me only because sure I saw someone isolate the

93
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: winning moments of all four major sports over the last year.

94
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: Oh so all four hot dog eating or no Joey

95
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: chestnutt not included, including the Panther's recent celeration. But boy, man,

96
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: I should have included the fifth Joey Chestnut in a

97
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: week from now, will be taking the stage again. But

98
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: take a listen. We'll start with the World Series and

99
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: just listen to not only the excitement, but I'm gonna

100
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: let you know by watching the teams are all jumping

101
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: on each other having fun.

102
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: Angel Us, you're doctors series.

103
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: So Dodgers win the World Series. Everyone's piling on for

104
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: the second time.

105
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 5: The Finch Lombardi Trophy is headed to Philadelphia.

106
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: Eagles flying in Super Bowl fifty nine. Get going nuts

107
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 1: the Panthers to get your shot of great Panthers fans

108
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: going wild, protection unbelievable, right, and then it's all.

109
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 4: The pactors one the shit you stand account the first

110
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: time the NBA champion resides at Oklaholma City and the

111
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 4: story Books season, it's complete.

112
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: They just honestly are shaking each other's hands. There's no

113
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: excitement from the team. Of course, the fans are pumped.

114
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: It's their first ever championship as an organization.

115
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: Bro, I've seen you get.

116
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: More instead of playing basketball twenty four our finis. But

117
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: it was your standard, bro, hug bring it in again.

118
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: A few players look pretty pumped about it, because I'm

119
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: seeing the highlights as we speak, But for the most part,

120
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: it was your standard, bring it in, hug it out,

121
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: shake hands. And maybe they're just too cool for the room.

122
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: Maybe they're exhausted, maybe it's relief. Maybe it's just not

123
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: as exciting as the other championships. But you remember other

124
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: NBA champions pumping their fists. I do you remember the

125
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,119
Speaker 1: celebrations of guys like Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan holding

126
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: up the trophy, going nuts, pumping the fist to the crowd,

127
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: going crazy. Just the most lacklusters I've ever seen in

128
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: my life. Well, we saidhomat City South of the Thunder

129
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: just proved while we all along were like, this is

130
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: the weakest ass team to win a championship. How he said,

131
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: from the start, the biggest criticism was lack of star power. Right,

132
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: But we did get to a game seven, We did

133
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: have drama. We did see Haliburton come out strong, scored

134
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: none points, played seven minutes, seven strong minutes, and went down.

135
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: That really maybe set the tone of the disappointment in

136
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: the game or the vibe of the game, because when

137
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: you want to be the best, you got to beat

138
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: the best. Did they really beat Indiana's best? But again,

139
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: that's just part of the game. I'm not taking anything away,

140
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: mind you, for Okac's victory here. That's just how it

141
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: panned out. That's how it played out. Halliburton pushed himself.

142
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: The injuries probably connected to the right calfstrain that he

143
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: dealt with.

144
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: I don't know.

145
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm no physical therapist. I can only assume that's part

146
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: of it. So I'm not trying to take away from

147
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: their victory. But maybe that was sort of disappointing for everybody.

148
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: Oh he was just boring, that's all I mean, that's Borram,

149
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm giving you reasons. You're with your assessment, boring, that's

150
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: it because I have a backup. I wrote down my

151
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: notes here. Okay, great, but again, it was a game seven.

152
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: It didn't pan out as close as it could have been.

153
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: Would the Pacers have won, We'll never know. If Halliburton

154
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: would have kept up that pace, it would have been

155
00:07:59,200 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: a lot closer.

156
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: That for sure.

157
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 6: For the Gamblers, I think they would have at least

158
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 6: covered that eight and a half. But what I'm saying

159
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 6: almost they had a chance to get within nine there

160
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 6: with three minutes left.

161
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 7: Yeah.

162
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: What I'm not debating though, is what our eyes all saw,

163
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: you know, that whole home sort of Maybe that's just

164
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: the vibe of these young NBA players in a lot

165
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: of ways, like, you know, very swaggy, very too cool

166
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: for the room. Dude's week think I've ever seen. Listen,

167
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: let's think of the most exciting moments of this NBA season.

168
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: Let's go back. All right, let's go back for a second.

169
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be back. Do take me back. I know

170
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: you're a big Frank Stalone fans. Take me back, Take

171
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: me back. I'm gonna take you back to one of

172
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: the last times we were in Vegas before our big party,

173
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: we were there for a big fight weekend and all

174
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: the rumblings on the casino floor. Luca Luca, Luca, Lakers.

175
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: Luca gets traded to the Lakers. Big moment. Dallas then

176
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: ends up getting the number one pick in the NBA Draft.

177
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: Big moment, the Knicks beating the Celtics. Big moment, Halliburton

178
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: doing that, the choke, the Reggie Miller to the Knicks.

179
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Big moment, I'm not Halliburton's dad. Big moment, hal the

180
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: Burton's dad on the court in Giannis's face was a

181
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: pretty big moment that goes to show you where the

182
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: excitement level was. Though I'm just thinking, oh wait, speaking

183
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: of excitement level, I don't want to take it from

184
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: your little notes that you made. Please keep adding. But

185
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: that whole Knick series was pretty exciting. The run that

186
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: they had, all the celebrity fans that were there, all

187
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: the old school Knicks that came to represent. There was

188
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: a lot of excitement in that series and their run.

189
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: The excitement that the Minnesota Timberwolves and Anthony Edwards brought exciting.

190
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: Seeing the veterans like Lebron and Steph Curry fall in

191
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: the playoffs, Steph got hurt. I haven't named one thing

192
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: about the team that won it all because they're boring

193
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: as could be. And I mean, I'll name this ASGA

194
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: goes down an elite company as an MVP of finals MVP.

195
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: They actually won, not just won their first ever as

196
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: an organization. He scored twenty nine points in the final.

197
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: It came down to what people often say, the team

198
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: with the best player usually pulls it off into Game seven.

199
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: He showed he was the best and he brought it.

200
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: So you could say I didn't like the excitement level,

201
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: or you could say, man, how impressive was their title run?

202
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: Maybe they just made it look easy. Dude, they were

203
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: the best team all season. I'm just giving you the maybies.

204
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I saw what I saw and you

205
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: sny but from my eyes. But you're also not an

206
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: OKC fan. That might be OKC fans or real pure

207
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: basketball fans listening right now. They're like, you're crazy, dude.

208
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: That was an elite team and they played like it. Listen.

209
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: I've never claimed to be a big NBA guy, so

210
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: you could possibly put me in that category of the

211
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: casual fan of the NBA that really likes excitement and

212
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: I want to see some drama, some fun and you

213
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: know what, of course is good be other shows and

214
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: people that are like, well, you just don't love the NBA. Then,

215
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: because this is greatness was demonstrated right then, I feel

216
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: like I represent more people. Gets The rating stunk, the

217
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: final stunk. It's stink stank stunk well, and again I

218
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: was clued in. We were fresh from Vegas. I get

219
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: to get in just in time to watch the game.

220
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: Halliburton goes down. It wasn't as exciting after that because

221
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: you knew you weren't getting the full battle that you

222
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: were signed up for, and you sat down to one.

223
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: Last night, I was at my daughter's dance recital. The

224
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: dad next to me was watching on his phone and

225
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: I was peeking over his shoulder. We had this little

226
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: thing going on, like, yo, I won't you know, like,

227
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: keep it low, keep the the the brightness down. I

228
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: got you. Halfway through the second half, He's like, yeah,

229
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: I rather watch these little kids dance. He turned it off,

230
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm with you. Turned it off all right?

231
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: So he rather watched eight year old's tap dance. I mean,

232
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: Danny g I know straight up agrees with Rich, but

233
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: it probably has to do with the fact that Halliburton

234
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: went down.

235
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 6: Man, Yeah, it was the same game after that, it

236
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 6: would have been a very close ending, in my opinion,

237
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 6: in the second half.

238
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: Had Halliburton still been on the court.

239
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: And he has proven that he's a big moment guy.

240
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: We all thought that, you're like, ah, man, there goes

241
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: a possible big moment, close, maybe finish, maybe something dramatic.

242
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 6: And the Thunders still might have went on their run

243
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 6: in the third quarter the way they did, But we've

244
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 6: seen Halliburton lead big charges back and come back, so

245
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 6: I think they would have at least gotten back in

246
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 6: within five points or something.

247
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: And then they're super young team. Congrats to them. I

248
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: just feel like the lack of excitement, and I'm sure

249
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: again Dan Byer, I'm sure Doug and other people on

250
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: this network that care a lot more about the NBA

251
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: than I do, we'll probably like this is a demonstration

252
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: of greatness. I couldn't care less.

253
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 8: Would it have been better if the Pacers broke out

254
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 8: in dance to Bruno Mars like the Savannah Bananas?

255
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: And the second half? Is that what you're looking for?

256
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: Dude up if they wheeled out Halliburton, and it was like, yeah,

257
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: daniel Lewis is gonna fight, like if there was a moment,

258
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: but it was like a star player goes down even

259
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: when they won. Like again, that that comparisons nailed it

260
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: for me because I was trying to in my mind

261
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: figure out what am I missing, why I didn't connect,

262
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: And then I saw that clip that someone put together

263
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: on social media of the four major champions Dodgers, Florida Panthers,

264
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles and now okay, see the last four major

265
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: titles and to see the teammates jumping on each other

266
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: in jubilee enjoy and then you see like SGA given

267
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: like bro hugs and handshakes like I do after I

268
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: win a Tuesday night softball game.

269
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 6: I did, like though, how Hardenstein's little infant baby had

270
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 6: its head bobbin in the in the celebration, you know,

271
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 6: had a cradle of child.

272
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, mine is font to know what's wrong with you?

273
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 3: Mine?

274
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: The fun that kid, that kid, that kid would have

275
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: slept in a burlap sack over his shoulder, like it's

276
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: so funny, like a child that age can sleep while

277
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: it's deafening noise.

278
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: And then when you're all sleep because he watched Game seven,

279
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: the guy was ragged his baby. No seriously, look, rich

280
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: does make a solid point because even if you have

281
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: no team in the game, right, we all tune in

282
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: to watch the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

283
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: As I used to say, right you told me it

284
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: was a game seven of the WNBA I would even watch.

285
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: There was really no excitement, no excitement that we were

286
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: able to see at the end of the game. You know,

287
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: if you change the music and put it to different

288
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: it looks like they lost. If you changed the crowd

289
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: noise and you just watch them, if you could have

290
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: said they lost. You ever see someone take like Dumb

291
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: and Dumber or a comedy and make a movie tariler

292
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: like it's a horror Yes, yeah, yeah. If you put

293
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: different music behind that and you take away the crowd noise,

294
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: their excitement really wasn't that visible or noticeable. And as

295
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: a casual fan, and that's who tunes into game sevens

296
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: for the most part. Of course, the pure fans are

297
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: always going to be there, But I'm saying the majority

298
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: of the fans that watch the Championship they're watching and

299
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: it was kind of boring. I don't think the fans

300
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: there were any less ex I'm not trying to take

301
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: away from their celebration. I'm not trying to take away

302
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: from the history that they made. We're just trying to

303
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: say that Rich is making a point. We all felt

304
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: a little disconnected from the excitement level of what was

305
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: going on. That's all. Know what it's like, lackluster or

306
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: relief is do you ever give a woman or your

307
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: kid or someone a gift and you think they're gonna

308
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: love it and you're waiting for the reaction. Yeah, and

309
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: they opened the gifts like thanks. So do you think

310
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: that maybe it was relief for them or just lackluster celebration.

311
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: I thought SGA handled the moment like a pro. To

312
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: be honest, I loved everything he said. He didn't show

313
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: a lot of excitement, but I loved his speech at

314
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: the end. I loved how he included the city and

315
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: his teammates on everything he accomplished. I like how he

316
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: shared the MVP. I thought I thought he nailed everything.

317
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: He's maybe just not connecting the way maybe the superstars

318
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: connected for you. I'll tell you the shame on me.

319
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: You know, I know what I'm guilty of. I'm guilty

320
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: of expecting elite athletes to have personalities, and that doesn't

321
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: always go hand in hand. You can't expect the star

322
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: player in any sport to also have the personality. They're

323
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: also a young guys, second youngest team in NBA history

324
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: to win a championship. But maybe, you know, again, maybe

325
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: it's more relief than anything like shock, like we did it,

326
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god. And everyone has a different perspective. And

327
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: Crusoe was saying, hey, hey, now, and Danny g said

328
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: it was tongue in cheek, but now no one could

329
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: say he didn't actually win a real one. Yeah, you know,

330
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: the bubble one he won, and now he won this

331
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: one in impressive fashion. It's relief. Let's stop talking about it.

332
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to fall asleep talking about the thunder.

333
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: Can I just say?

334
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: I think Sga and Tyres have both have great personalities themselves,

335
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: are just different. Sga seems a little bit more serious.

336
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: He's like a little bit more talks like a leader.

337
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: Tyres is like, you don't have to be nice.

338
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: That's boring as hell. It's called speculation.

339
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: I think that I think they have like they show,

340
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: they say things that I think are at least keep

341
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: my attention a little bit. And then Tyrese, I think,

342
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: is like a I call him a classy trash talker,

343
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 2: like he's he's actually a really great interview if you

344
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 2: listen to him, like he's for an NBA player that age,

345
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 2: they're both what around twenty six twenty seven or young dudes,

346
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 2: and for guys that age in the NBA, they actually

347
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: are give pretty good responses who speak so well you

348
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 2: know where I think, Yeah, no one on that team

349
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: will ever do a podcast.

350
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: I promise you that. I think the NBA could have

351
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: did a better job of building or creating that rivalry

352
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: between Halliburton and SGA, even though there seems to be

353
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: none there, like, at least give us the illusion that

354
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: they're going head to head and they don't like each other.

355
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: I feel like they drop the ball on that, Like,

356
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: you know, everybody wants to win the final here, but like,

357
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: give me some heated sort of rivalry between those two

358
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: and there was none.

359
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: There was none.

360
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean, sorry, Dan, I create that.

361
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 8: Sometimes that's tricky though, because if you overdo it and

362
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 8: nobody believes it, then it seems really mad in fact,

363
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 8: just I just guys, honestly, I think it comes down

364
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 8: to you, like they don't have it, like like really

365
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 8: like as much as you want to try and make

366
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 8: them have it, they don't and it's not their fault

367
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 8: and it's why. Like I think Anthony Edwards has it,

368
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 8: like as a star player, like if there's we talk

369
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 8: about face of the league stuff, he's in Minnesota, and

370
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 8: I felt like there's a different feel with it. Like

371
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 8: for as great as SGA is and as great as

372
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 8: Halliburton is and all to talk about Halliburton, that and

373
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 8: his great play rolls them to this level.

374
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: Like I don't think that SGA has it. He may

375
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: become a great, great player, but he just doesn't have

376
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: well you know, it's very dangerous. And here's why. Because

377
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: Rich is onto something. He's the ultimate warrior. No, no, no,

378
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: you know he is everyone. You know, he's a klitchko

379
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: because Crisco he was so dominant, sure, and so great

380
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: and no one could beat him. It's sort of ruined

381
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: boxing for ten years because he was just a boring

382
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: face for the sport. Right, So if they go on

383
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: a magnificent run and there such a young team, if

384
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: they don't find some personality, it's gonna be boring for

385
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: the NBA.

386
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 8: And I know I'm gonna get the what family guy

387
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 8: meme or it's like this dog has hit because he

388
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 8: was wearing like fancy sunglasses.

389
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: But it's true, there is there is something about it.

390
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: You either you have it or you don't. Then you

391
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 1: can go any sport and do that. I have two analogies,

392
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: and Comino's boxing one was so on point, it really was.

393
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: But back in the day when we were kids, you

394
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: remember when Vince McMahon sort of bet on the Ultimate

395
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: Warrior to take over Hogan is like the face. And

396
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: then within like six months they realized, like, yeah, the

397
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: kids don't really give a crap about the Ultimate Warrior

398
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: the way we thought. They had a pivot. You give

399
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: whul Cogan the belt back and then change allo storyline

400
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: because no one cared enough about the Ultimate Warrior and

401
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: they bring it back to no one cares boxing. Clitch goes,

402
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: why did people start caring about boxing even just a

403
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: little bit because Tyson Fury was a superstar personality. Yeah,

404
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: for the league's sake, you gotta have some game, but

405
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: you also have to have it. But it doesn't mean

406
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: they're not going to continue this run. It's not to

407
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 1: take away the greatness of other people. I'll give an

408
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: analogy that's fresh on our minds. Camino and I had

409
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: a really an amazing weekend meeting. You know, hundreds and

410
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: hundreds of hundreds of listeners that came to see us

411
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: in Vegas. It was the most humbling, beautiful thing. And

412
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: Kavino and I afterwards will be like, Yo, you meet

413
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 1: that guy. Because there's some people that somehow stand out

414
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: in the crowd. Danny, I'm sure you met people you're like, Yo,

415
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: that guy is a wild dude, or you know that

416
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: woman was so sweet. Like it's like casting for a

417
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: reality show. Why do you think these same knuckle what

418
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: do you think the same Johnny Bananas type show? But

419
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: every show they'd stand out and there's nothing about some

420
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: people alm the City Thunder that stands out. Yeah, maybe

421
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: they maybe they get a wild card on their team

422
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: just to give us some personality next year, you know,

423
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: maybe they need that just some crazy guy, lots of tatoo,

424
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: who was in a mohawk, I had.

425
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 3: Some weird.

426
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: They play. They need a birdman on the team. That's

427
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: exactly what I was thinking, Danny, Yeah, yeah, they need

428
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: something like that to give it some extra flair. All right,

429
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,239
Speaker 1: so your thoughts, maybe maybe we're alone here.

430
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 6: I thought it was Also, I don't think that our

431
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 6: show is off on this because they just announced the

432
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 6: OKC Thunder Championship Parade is going to be on Tuesday

433
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 6: and the route leads to the Ronald J. Norrick Downtown Library.

434
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 6: It's kind of weird. Wow, Really, I'm gonna go. I'd

435
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 6: rather go take out a bus.

436
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 8: And just so you guys, with the ratings, the overall

437
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 8: series was down from a year ago. Overall, the last

438
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 8: night's Game seven did have over sixteen million viewers, which

439
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 8: is the most viewed, if any NBA Finals game in

440
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 8: the last six years.

441
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: That's awesome and that is great to know. Thank you,

442
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: Dan Byrie. I'm just doing this out there for again

443
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: conversation's sake. I agree with Rich. We all saw what

444
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: we saw, felt felt lackluster. But maybe like the young

445
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: Cats are vibing with it the way we are not

446
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: because we have a different expectation. Right, We've seen Jordans

447
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: pumping his fist and jumping in the air. We've seen

448
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: all these moments. We have all these highlights in our mind.

449
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: Maybe young younger kids see it and that's their generation

450
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: and they're pumped about it in a different way. Was

451
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: the Celtics celebration boring?

452
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: That was last year?

453
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: Tatum's speech was kind of layme. We criticized it because

454
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: he got lost from and stole it from everybody.

455
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 6: And yeah, he had little pieces of three different players

456
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 6: speeches and one was five I think.

457
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

458
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, And because it was also like the posing like

459
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 8: he tried to do the the kobe and the jacket,

460
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 8: like hugging.

461
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: The trophy, we said it was corny. Yes, he just

462
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: chad gpt for speech. So maybe we're just too critical,

463
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,280

508
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,680

Speaker 6: driven event I've ever attended.

510
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 3: Oh it was great.

511
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: It was so special. And hey, we told you guys

512
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: to come. Let's just say you missed a very own

513
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: Monsey and Lorena at the pool party, okay, because they

514
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: brought the fun too. They were the unofficial Cavino and

515
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: Rich ring girls. Oh it was awesome.

516
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: It was a ray. Yeah.

517
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: And by the way, I was Sam. You were exactly

518
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: who we wanted you to be because someone said it.

519
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: Someone one of our listeners said, you know what we

520
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: love about Iowa Sam. He's authentic. I said it. You

521
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: didn't say that, right, you guys face.

522
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 2: You guys came up to me at the Legacy Lounge,

523
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: the rooftop lounge there at the Circa, and you did

524
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 2: say that.

525
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: I said, it was very very touching. And Rich was there, like,

526
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: you know you're right, but you were so No someone

527
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: said that to you.

528
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: No, and West West someone had me something to smoke

529
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 2: chat with Wes and Vegas is lovely, said a little bit.

530
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, awesome, he said, Iowa Sam is whose spot was

531
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 6: fifteen years ago, by the way. Yeah, and that I'll

532
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 6: take this a complement absolutely, Spot the kind of would

533
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 6: you guys agree, kind of the Wizard of Oz of

534
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 6: all this putting it, helping put it together.

535
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

536
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give Spot a big old random plus clause

537
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: because he did a great job.

538
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: This is a lot of planning, a lot of time.

539
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 1: Is great. Our video producer here on Fox Sports Radio,

540
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: all the videos.

541
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 2: At Covino and Rich he still recovers and Iron Lung

542
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 2: right now, just like sleeping for thirty six hours, still

543
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 2: picking up stuff in Vegas, like literally everything we left behind.

544
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: But let's get to the vocals. But I was Sam

545
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: showed up in a Wayne's World hat and like an

546
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: extra tight IWO T shirt that was yellow, and everyone's like,

547
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: who is this gonna be so authentic? There's the perfect word,

548
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I agree him up with that, all right,

549
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: Tony in Oregon? Your thoughts on Game seven are we

550
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: just are we being too hard on the thunder? Because

551
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was boring as could be.

552
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 7: It was definitely boring. I was pulling for the Pacers obviously,

553
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 7: was devastated when Halbert and went out. I think I

554
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 7: think you're seeing the lackluster you for just from Oklahoma

555
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 7: City players and the fan base for that matter, because

556
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 7: you know, they just they just don't know, like they

557
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 7: haven't they haven't went through the trials contributations of a

558
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 7: lot of other teams with failure. You gotta have failure

559
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 7: to appreciate the win. And I think that's what what

560
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 7: everybody says in that way last night.

561
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a really great point, it really is.

562
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: I love what you're thinking, But are we really mad

563
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: at a team for being that good? No? I think

564
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, I just I don't know. It is

565
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: just safe to say that the steam came out of

566
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: everybody when Halliburton went down. It was way less exciting

567
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: right after that in San Antonio, what's up, San anton.

568
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 9: What's up?

569
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: Guys?

570
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 9: I love your show, but I I could not disagree

571
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 9: more that was I think that was a great finals.

572
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 9: I think it was two small market teams that battled.

573
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 9: It went seven games. I thought it was awesome. And

574
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 9: I you know, I coached basketball. I coached my sons

575
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 9: in aau and we man when we beat teams that

576
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 9: we had no business beating. It's the greatest feeling in

577
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 9: the world.

578
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: And just.

579
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 9: Real quick yeah, drops of Danny G. I I called

580
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 9: in maybe a couple of months ago, I don't know,

581
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 9: and I got a swingy and it took a while

582
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 9: to get to me, and Danny G sent me two

583
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 9: extra coozies, and I just wanted to say no.

584
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: And I listen, I'm not back. I'm not a double

585
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: talking Davis here. But I didn't say the finals was bad.

586
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: I think there's just a lack of excitement. Meaning I

587
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: started this conversation by saying, when you compared the last

588
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: four major champions, they're jumping on each other. Everyone's going nuts.

589
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: I feel like they were handshaking like you do after

590
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: a wreck game. A wha, what happened? I mean, that's

591
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: exactly what you saw. There was some good basketball.

592
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 6: I think people have already forgotten Game one, where the

593
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 6: thunder had to lead the entire game except for what

594
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 6: point three?

595
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: Second point three? Yeah, that was a great We did

596
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: see some.

597
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 6: Great basketball throughout, but we also saw, unfortunately, the first

598
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 6: injury that happened to Halliburton, and then how things came

599
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 6: about yesterday.

600
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: Let's say, you think there's anything to be said about

601
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: Game one feeling like forever ago? Though, Yeah, I'm sure

602
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: to talk about that later in the show. Maybe it's

603
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: the fact that they dragged it on so long that

604
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,719
Speaker 1: it came down to that game. And let's say, how

605
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: did Jimbo, what's up jim in Saint Louis.

606
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, what's up?

607
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 3: Man?

608
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 10: Great show?

609
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: Thank you man, Thank you buddy.

610
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 9: You don't have to expect them to have it.

611
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 10: I mean most professional athletes don't have it.

612
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,719
Speaker 1: That is true, which which is why the legends stand out.

613
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: You're right, the Spurs is a great example. We just

614
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: got a call from Rich in San Antonio. Some argue

615
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: that when the admirable, when the Admiral left, and no

616
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: more David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Janobili, Tony Parker weren't the

617
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: most exciting champions, and they were fundamentally sound and they pop.

618
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that, San Antonio. By the way, it's

619
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: two colors. That's why when we talk about the Goats,

620
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: Tim Duncans often left out of the conversation. It's not

621
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: that he wasn't a great player, it's that he didn't

622
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: have it Tim Duncan. Against Duncan, he was a great dude.

623
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: He's a great leader, great player, but sort of a

624
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: boring watch fundamentals. You know, we're hating on all the

625
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: wrong things. It was a boring celebration. That's really what

626
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: it comes down to.

627
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: Covid.

628
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: It's interesting he coud say Tim Duncan is didn we

629
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: the other day joke about how he was one Ray

630
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: Allen three pointer away from being six and zero in

631
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: the finals. Yes, yet he's still not talked about enough.

632
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: Not enough, Uh Odessa, Let's go to Dwayne.

633
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 9: What's up dayne Hey, guys had a great time in

634
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 9: Las Vegas.

635
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 5: It was just it was a great party. Really appreciate it,

636
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 5: and really good people King Carlos and uh Johnny Gohar,

637
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 5: Junny Joel from San Juan copy Toronto, which is really

638
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 5: good event. So A one of the things I wanted

639
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 5: to mention is that sometimes these teams the kind of

640
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 5: take the image of their fan base. I grew up

641
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 5: in Mid America Big Twins fans. You're like one two

642
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 5: World Series and those are great moments for a lot

643
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 5: of people that live on the East coast, West coast.

644
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 5: That happens like every other year, and when you're a

645
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 5: flup marketing you really appreciate it. So once again, Breake

646
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 5: time in Vegas really enjoyed it.

647
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: Thanks a lots, Hey, thank you Dane.

648
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 3: That was Big Mic snoring next to him. How was that?

649
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: I thought Dwayne was at a motorcycle rally or so.

650
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, because Big MIC's not here, he's missing, Spotty's missing,

651
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 6: he's resting today.

652
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: Let's go to Ian in LA. What's up? Being last

653
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: one up, I'll going good. What's up?

654
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 5: So?

655
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 10: I think the problem with Day's NBA is there's no

656
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 10: real storylines. You know, there's a lot of great players,

657
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 10: great teams, and if you're a big basketball fan, what

658
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 10: you're seeing is what you hoped for. Nobody's dominant, but

659
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 10: it lacks of storyline. So if you're a casual user,

660
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 10: you don't care.

661
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. And you know what, then I'm guilty

662
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm more casual and die hard. So hey, Rich,

663
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: you think maybe it has to do with the fact

664
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: that we're still recovering from Vegas and thanks for the call, man,

665
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: And there's a sense of relief in our minds a

666
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: little bit too, because there's a lot of hate towards

667
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: basketball period, because I know you want to talk about

668
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: how much you hate the WNBA, and I also want

669
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: to talk about and I had the same feeling about

670
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: the whole Kevin Durant move over the weekend. He had

671
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: made it very clear. I mean, he's gotten to the

672
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: point where he can call the shots nineteen years in

673
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: the league. MVP Superstar Champion Kevin Durant says, I'll play

674
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: for the Lakers, the Spurs, or the Rockets, and I

675
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: feel like even the move to the Rockets is so

676
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: boring to me, dude, Like that was the last team

677
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear him play for him Like, ah,

678
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: that's no fun. As a broadcaster, dude. As a broadcast,

679
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: I guess I'm a professional broadcaster right, as a broadcaster.

680
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: As a sports fan, I'm like, Houston, be sure to

681
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: drink your oval team. I thought that was the weakest announcement.

682
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: I really did, Like any other team would have been

683
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: cooler to me than that. And that's no knock on Houston.

684
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: It just didn't feel fun or exciting to me. I

685
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: was like, all right, So I don't know if that's

686
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: just the mood we're in. You ever watch a movie

687
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: and it sort of stinks, but then you watch it

688
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: again You're like, maybe I was just in a bad mood. Yeah,

689
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: maybe that was event. But again, lack of celebration for sure.

690
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: But congratulations to Okay see extremely dominant and now we'll

691
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: get two more phone calls, but we turn it over

692
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: to our guy Dan byer dB all.

693
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 8: The whole durant thing and went off on it yesterday

694
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 8: during My Sunday show with Mike Harmon. It's on social media.

695
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 8: They tried to plan it like this was this organic

696
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 8: experience that he was on stage at Fanatics Fest.

697
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, when all of a sudden he got traded.

698
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 11: Wow, while he was on stage, this happened I head

699
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 11: of Game seven of the NBA Finals to completely steal

700
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 11: no pun intended the thunder of that Game seven.

701
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: Wow.

702
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 8: Yes, it was so contrived and so awful and so ridiculous.

703
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 8: So those are other reasons why I hated the Durant

704
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 8: trade yesterday I digress.

705
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: The Pacers are falling a game shorts of winning that

706
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: NBA championship, and now today they found out that they're

707
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 1: likely to not have Tyre's Halliburton for all of next season.

708
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: Did rupture that achilles tendon in his right leg scheduled

709
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: for surgery today. I mentioned this earlier with you guys.

710
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 8: But viewership for Game seven it was the highest rated

711
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 8: NBA Finals game in six years last night a sixteen

712
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,800

Speaker 8: averaged out according to the Athletic for that Game seven

714
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 8: numbers were down as an overall series from a year

715
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 8: ago when the Celtics topped the Mavericks in five games.

716
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 8: Rockets will decline the option on Fred van Vliet's deal.

717
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 8: It was worth almost forty five million dollars, but besides

718
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,880
