1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 2: Oh, here we go.

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 3: And it's funny because I remember starting off last week

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 3: and we're talking about the NBA and the All Star

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 3: Game and we're like, my god, all we want is

6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 3: for you to care. That's it, Like are we asking

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 3: so much? And then I start thinking, I'm like, boy,

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 3: sports is kind of like parenting. It's kind of like relationships,

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 3: Like we could get through a lot.

10
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: Of stuff if you just care. And I think Ephraim.

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 3: That that's why the Olympics works so damn well, at

12
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: least for certain events. You and I talked last week

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 3: like we're Californians. I don't really understand how the whole

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 3: looge thing starts at a young age, like I don't

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 3: get curling, but whatever, we get what happened early this morning.

16
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: Good evening to you. And my first question is how

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: long have you been awake? Did you get up for

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 3: the start of this one? Did you join it in

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: the middle specific time five to ten am is when

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: this gold medal hockey game started this morning.

21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,919
Speaker 4: I was up look at you. I had a feeling

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 4: you would be well. I was up because it's Ramadan, and.

23
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 5: Ah, yes, of course I have to eat at five

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 5: o'clock in the morning. So I was like, hey, man,

25
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 5: I'm up enjoying some victuals, you know, do a little reading,

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 5: little prayin and then I turned on the game and

27
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 5: enjoyed it live.

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: Take me again through the Ramadan from eating process. I

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: remember being fascinated by this.

30
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 4: Sun up to sundown. Okay. And so.

31
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 5: You know, in the Islamic religion there are five prayers

32
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 5: a day starting with Faja is the first one that

33
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 5: comes in about five twenty eight. So you have to

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 5: eat before then before the first prayer comes in, and

35
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 5: then you break fast. Today it's at It's not bad,

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 5: it's you know, it's five forty today.

00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 3: Okay, So in thirty seven minutes, do you need like

Speaker 3: Even water hashtag Ramadan. All right, okay, well, but you.

61
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 5: Gotta realize I've been doing this since I was six,

62
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 5: you know, forty three years.

63
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: It's no thing.

64
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 5: It's not even all while I played the whole nine yards.

65
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: It's it's wow.

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 5: And on top of that, it moves up eleven days

67
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 5: every year, so there were times where it was in

68
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 5: the dead of summer and it didn't get night until

69
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 5: nine thirty or ninety five.

70
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 4: Now that my friend gonna put some hair on your chest.

71
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: I remember in.

72
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 5: Twenty seventeen, I think it was we were shooting a

73
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 5: movie in Canada and Vancouver. It the sun rises at

74
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 5: about three fifty Oh god, and it goes down about

75
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 5: ten thirty pm.

76
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: Oh man, that's not what you want.

77
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: Not ideal. No, that's not Robert don Weather.

78
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: It was awful, okay, all right, Well look at you

79
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: tucking it in before daylight savings time.

80
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: And this is a I mean, this is two foot

81
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: plot for you. No, it's nothing. Okay, there's nothing.

82
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: All right, good the then instead we can just talk

83
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: about instead of what you ate, we talked about what

84
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: you saw.

85
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: Man, go ahead, fire, I'll tell you what man.

86
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 5: And I was probably gonna get up anyway, because I

87
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 5: wanted to watch it live because the last thing I

88
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 5: wanted to do was I wanted to be in the moment.

89
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 4: When you have something like this, you want to be

90
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 4: in the moment.

91
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 5: And so for the most part, you don't get to

92
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 5: watch these things live unless you're up watching them, and

93
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 5: they replay everything at prime time for US on you know,

94
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 5: Peacock or NBC. So what I try to do is

95
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: I try to get up early and watch the things

96
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 5: because I want to be a part of it and

97
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 5: be in the moment of it.

98
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 4: And I mean.

99
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 5: I enjoyed the women's gold medal game against Canada. That

100
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 5: was thrilling. It was unbelievable, and that was shout out

101
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 5: to to our US women's hockey team. But if for

102
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 5: all of those people out there who don't really watch hockey,

103
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 5: it's a beautiful sport. It's even better if you go

104
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 5: watch it live. It's unreal and you can tell how

105
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 5: much faster the men's game is in the women's game,

106
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 5: Like if you watch wn n B A in the NBA,

107
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 5: you can it's you could speede difference. It's just different,

108
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 5: more athletes, but on ice and on the skates, that

109
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 5: puck it is whipping up and down the ice, and

110
00:05:54,920 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 5: I was, I was really for the most part, I

111
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 5: was excited because within the first six minutes we scored

112
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 5: and so I'm like, oh, just hold off.

113
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 4: Just hold off.

114
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 5: And it kind of likes soccer, right, let's just but

115
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 5: it's not like soccer because the rink is smaller, and

116
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 5: you know, Canada, shout out to them. They are attacking, attacking, attacking, attacking,

117
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 5: non stop attacking and they will put you on your

118
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 5: heels and it's unbelievable. I want to shout out Connor Hellabuck,

119
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 5: the goalie.

120
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 4: For the US. He won the medal.

121
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 5: For those who didn't watch this, let me let me

122
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 5: just give you some context. He is the MVP by

123
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 5: a mile, not you know, the first person to score

124
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 5: or are not you know who scored the golden goal,

125
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 5: which is you know, to win it.

126
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 4: It's the goalkeeper, the goalie.

127
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 5: And I'll say that because if you look at the

128
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 5: shot they were both right around fifteen shots on net,

129
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 5: meaning each team has taken fifteen shots apiece at their

130
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 5: opponent's goal. Then it was fifteen to seventeen.

131
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 4: At what point are you talking about?

132
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 5: This is in the first half, okay, first period, excuse me,

133
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 5: it's like fifteen to fifteen. Then it was, you know,

134
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 5: getting to the second period. Then it was fifteen to seventeen,

135
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 5: not us them, then fifteen to nineteen not us them,

136
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 5: then fifteen to twenty not us them, and so on

137
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 5: and so forth. Yes, so at the end of the

138
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 5: second I believe it was around twenty eight to sixteen.

139
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 5: That means there was an all out assault on us

140
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 5: offensively from Canada, and at the end, towards the end

141
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 5: of the second period they got their goal to tie

142
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 5: it up. At one point it was forty five or

143
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 5: forty one. Excuse me forty one or forty two to twenty.

144
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 5: They doubled how many times they got a shot on

145
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 5: the goal, and.

146
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 4: Our goalkeeper Connor went forty.

147
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 5: One or forty two in terms of saves, Yes, he did.

148
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 5: That is unbelievable for those who don't really follow the

149
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 5: game and understand, that was unreal.

150
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 3: And I would say, not simply like the numbers that

151
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: you just detailed in and of themselves, but if you

152
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: could actually see some of the saves.

153
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: Canada had direct three three times in.

154
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 4: That third dig comes down, but there.

155
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: Was one, the famous one that's gonna go down.

156
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: I mean the puck, it's an open net and the

157
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 3: puck is behind him, it's behind him, reaches back with

158
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 3: this that directly reaches back with the stick and deflects

159
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 3: it just outside of the post. Look here, you're you're

160
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 3: spot on. And it was funny like that third period.

161
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: Like you just said, boy, the men's game and the

162
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: women's game, it's a different speed. I was like, yeah,

163
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 3: Canada and the United States is a different speed.

164
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 4: Canada.

165
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 2: Canada, absolutely, and hockey can be like this.

166
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: Sometimes certain sports can where you're like, the the better

167
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 3: team is not winning. There was no question in the

168
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 3: third period, who outplayed whole right, who.

169
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: Was more in sync, who was faster?

170
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 3: Who just who did all the things, but they just

171
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 3: couldn't break through And Halibuck was absolutely the number one

172
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: law list and why yeah, And then then they had

173
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: a little flurry there towards the end of regulation, the

174
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 3: US got things going a little bit, and then in overtime.

175
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: It's a completely different sport. Quite frankly, it's kind of interesting.

176
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 4: Because that should that should be what hockey is.

177
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: Well, boy, the final score would be like thirty two

178
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 3: to thirty, But I mean, you don't think that'd be

179
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 3: a sight if that should be what hockey is.

180
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 5: Just and explain to the listeners who don't follow hockey

181
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 5: what that looks like.

182
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: Instead of going five on five, you're going three on three,

183
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 3: and so the ice is just incredibly wide open. The

184
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 3: shots that you get are sort of different because there's

185
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 3: only certain spots on the ice that you can effectively guard.

186
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: It's wide open.

187
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: If you're gonna go to overtime on three on three,

188
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: similar to when sudden death now right sudden death, So

189
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: similar to when the women played on Thursday, it's usually

190
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: over fast, like you're gonna get a goal within the

191
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 3: first handful of minutes when you're playing three on three

192
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: and so and that's what happened. And so Jack Hughes

193
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: uh goes five hole for those who don't speak hockey,

194
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: that's between the goalie's legs. And it was a beautiful

195
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: sort of run at the goal that that in theory

196
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: like it looked for a second like it was about

197
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 3: to be disaster and head the other way. But you know,

198
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: one stick gets to the puck just before the other

199
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 3: spin around. Boom, beautiful palas right in front and Hughes

200
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 3: nails at home and it's over and and sure the

201
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 3: United States, you're not wrong.

202
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 4: Like, let's say it.

203
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 3: They got out played today and they won anyway anyway.

204
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: And the main reason was Connor Hollibuck just and and

205
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: beautiful theater. Man it beautiful everything.

206
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 5: I was trying not to wake the whole house up

207
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 5: at five o'clock in the morning. At this time, we'll

208
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 5: talk about six thirty, six thirty, you know, almost going

209
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 5: in as I was trying not to wake the entire house.

210
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 2: Up, right right, Yeah, now we're.

211
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 4: We're silently screaming and jumping up and down.

212
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, about seven thirty in the morning or so when

213
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: this thing goes into overtime, and it was just incredible.

214
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 3: And I go back to what I said at the beginning, like, sure,

215
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 3: the skill level was great and all of that, the

216
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: closeness of the match was great. But for me, what

217
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 3: really raises your heartbeat in sports is when you can

218
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: feel the gravity of what's on the line on every

219
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: play and how much the participants care, how much they're trying,

220
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: how much their blood, sweat and tears are into this,

221
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 3: Like I mean, let's run this up against, for instance,

222
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 3: the youth flag football game that I was at three

223
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: hours later, where if one kid gets by another kid

224
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 3: is kind of like whatever, and everybody's like, okay, he scored,

225
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 3: And that's I think it's funny because as parents, I'm like,

226
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 3: I don't care if you win or lose, but were

227
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 3: you all just try your asses off? Like try your

228
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: you want to see. That's why coaches are always yelling

229
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: at hustle, hustle, hustle, hustle.

230
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 2: This thing was oozing blood, sweat and.

231
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 3: Tears off of the television set and it was awesome.

232
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: It was just awesome and almost not almost, I did

233
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 3: you the looks on the faces collectively of the Canadian

234
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 3: player went in.

235
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: Is it breadth?

236
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: You see them at the metal ceremony when the medals,

237
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 4: I mean, couldn't even smile. They were not no please,

238
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 4: They're almost like, don't touch me with it.

239
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 5: They if they had an option not to take it,

240
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 5: they probably would have not taken it for sure, like

241
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,479
Speaker 5: they were I mean first failures.

242
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: Yes, that's how they look at it. First losers.

243
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 5: This is the first time in forty six years. How

244
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 5: about that US wins goal and hockey at the Olympics

245
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 5: Miracle on Ice. I mean the game was riveny man,

246
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 5: and like you said, the US team was severely outplayed,

247
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 5: severely outplayed, and.

248
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 4: It just came down to.

249
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 5: A masterful job at goalkeeping and a two on one break.

250
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 4: And overtime.

251
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 5: I think it was within the first a minute and

252
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 5: thirty second ninety seconds. If you just imagine if they

253
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 5: played hockey like that, where you got to it's three

254
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 5: on three and every time you scored you got to

255
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 5: switch out right like boom, you're switching out.

256
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 4: That would be.

257
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 5: That would be I would love to see a hockey

258
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 5: game twenty two to nineteen.

259
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: They have that. It's called the All Star Game.

260
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 4: Right like, Yeah, I'm not kidding. They do. It's called

261
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 4: the All Star Game.

262
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 5: That thing is I was. I loved overtime. Yeah, you

263
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 5: can't make a mistake.

264
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 4: No, no, no, you can't make a mistake.

265
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: You know it's going to be over fast.

266
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: And so I'll tell you what we learned some things

267
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 3: every time we get through the Olympics and you kind

268
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 3: of see what works and what doesn't. This really really worked.

269
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: Also a big piece of why it worked was the

270
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 3: way all of the coverage kind of signed off courtesy

271
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 3: of Mike Tarico at the end of it. We want

272
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,960

Speaker 5: I'm good, I'm okay. Just watching them not be able

317
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 5: to get stops in that score, it's fun.

318
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: Well, like a little bit later on in the show,

319
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 3: I want to talk about this Boston Celtic team. Oklahoma

320
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: City Thunder today defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers without Shay and

321
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: j Dubb And here's Boston Tatum hurt. Let's go ahead

322
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 3: and get rid of Holiday and Christaps and I mean

323
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 3: right yeah, And they're the two seed in the East

324
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 3: end playing amazing. So like normally in sports, we're talking.

325
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 3: You know, you lose all your good players, what are

326
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 3: you going to do? I need to get down to

327
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 3: some science on the anatomy of these two teams who

328
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 3: seemingly play the exact same, whether their stars are in

329
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 3: there or not, So we can get to that but

330
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 3: I would love your reaction to this. Can we play

331
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 3: Mike Tarrico's sign off after the men's Olympic Team USA

332
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 3: gold medal earlier this morning?

333
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 8: Yes, because of a drought that almost lasted a half century,

334
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 8: those teams are revered.

335
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 4: They are held on to forever.

336
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 8: And what happened today doesn't take away from the greatness

337
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 8: of those teams. Were the meeting that those teams have

338
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 8: in US hockey, But what you saw today was the

339
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 8: build of a generation, inspired perhaps by that team that

340
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 8: lost in twenty ten in Vancouver to the Sydney Crosby

341
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,479
Speaker 8: golden goal in overtime, or the team where tj Oshan

342
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 8: all those shootout goals in twenty fourteen. That's when these

343
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 8: guys were doing what you're doing. Watch it on TV,

344
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 8: and they were young and they were living the dream.

345
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 4: So for all the.

346
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 8: Young people out there, not just the hockey but all

347
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 8: the Olympics you've watched, those dreams are formed. Now go

348
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 8: chase them and go get them. Because our country loves

349
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 8: sports and it brings us together unlike anything else. And

350
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 8: if you didn't know that, if you haven't been watching

351
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 8: the last two weeks, you saw it in Team USA

352
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 8: Hockey winning the goal over there, our travel Canada here

353
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 8: in Milan to wrap.

354
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 4: Up these twenty fifth Olympic Winter Games. I'm an very

355
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 4: well Son was one of the best in the business.

356
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 3: One of the best in the business. And I don't know,

357
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 3: but like that I watched it. It did not feel

358
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 3: or look scripted. That looked like something he just decided

359
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 3: he wanted to say. He did so without even once

360
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: being like, uh, I mean flowed beautifully. And my favorite line,

361
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 3: this country loves sports and it brings us together like

362
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 3: nothing else.

363
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 4: Amen to that.

364
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, It's part of our fabric. It's who we are.

365
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 5: It's the one place, whether it be a Sunday or

366
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 5: weekday or whatever, whatever day, where no matter what who

367
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 5: you voted for, what would you declare yourself, what you

368
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 5: identify as ethnicity, culture, religious beliefs, you can sit next

369
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 5: to someone who has completely opposite viewpoints and find common

370
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 5: ground and cheering for your team. That's why sports is

371
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 5: so impactful, That's why it means so much, That's why

372
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 5: it's needed, especially at a time like this in this country,

373
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 5: and when you're playing on a global scale at the Olympics.

374
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 5: Nothing brings the country together more than sports and cheering

375
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 5: for America, and I think it's needed. It's the only

376
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 5: way I know how to cut through divisiveness. And that's

377
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 5: why people watch. That's why people tune in because they

378
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 5: need an escape, they need to get they need to

379
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 5: to leave things behind for that three hours, two hours,

380
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 5: whatever that is and just be and the Olympics is

381
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 5: a great place to do that.

382
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 4: So it's the NBA, the NFL, and the MLB, MLS.

383
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 4: It's all great. And with that, argued Steve de Sager

384
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 4: very well, very very well said.

385
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 9: Also, I also loved the postgame interview, by the way,

386
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 9: with Hughes, who had the game winner, talking about how

387
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 9: much he loves this team, how much he loves this country,

388
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 9: how much he loves being an American, and he tried

389
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 9: to speak because he didn't have a tooth anymore.

390
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 2: Any teeth.

391
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 3: Because I was telling the story, I'm like, you gotta

392
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 3: go watch this. The guy gets hit in the mouth

393
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 3: with a stick. Here's face down on the ice. At

394
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 3: about a half hour later, he's got the golden goal

395
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: and they're talking to him and he's like, I love

396
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: about and I'm like, oh, it was the funniest damn thing.

397
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 3: It woke me up even more this morning.

398
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 9: Jack Hughes the game winning goal and his brother Quinn

399
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 9: Hughes had the game winner in overtime in the quarterfinals

400
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 9: this past week. By the way, let me put this

401
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 9: in context. We all know the NFL is king on

402
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 9: American television, not just in sports. In American television. The

403
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 9: NFL had a pretty good regular season, one of their

404
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 9: best in recent decades. The regular season average TV rating

405
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 9: for an NFL game was eighteen point seven million viewers.

406
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 9: If the NBA gets two point seven million, they're probably

407
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 9: doing backflips in the office. Eighteen point seven million per

408
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 9: game the average for this whole season that just finished.

409
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 9: Regular season NFL the Winter Olympics per day average has

410
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 9: been at least twenty million viewers for fourteen straight days.

411
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 10: Wow, the last I checked.

412
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 9: And that includes, of course the replays at night or

413
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 9: USA Network during the day. So we already had the

414
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 9: largest audience for a women's hockey game on American television

415
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 9: this past week with the game beating Canada for gold

416
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 9: and then the close game today, Men's hockey beats Canada to.

417
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 10: One in overtime for.

418
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 9: The gold and the closing ceremony was then held in Verona, Italy.

419
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 9: So the Winter Games are over. The next Winter Olympics

420
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 9: will be in France in twenty thirty. And by the way,

421
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,959
Speaker 9: I looked up the voting results for the NHL's MVP

422
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 9: for this past season. The guys who were in the

423
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 9: top ten in votes Nathan McKinnon, Jack Eichelkaler Carr, Connor McDavid.

424
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 9: These are all guys that were on the ice today.

425
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 9: The quality was intense in this gold medal matchup. And

426
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 9: who was the MVP of the NHL last year? Today's

427
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 9: winning goalie Connor Hellibuk who had forty one saves, the

428
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 9: Winnipeg goaltender American was the NHL MVP this past year.

429
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 9: Let's get to the NBA, as the Lakers in LA

430
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,960

Speaker 9: announced in the background, instructing fans to evacuate the stadium.

468
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,119

469
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,719
Speaker 9: system took it as a fire. The umpire at first

470
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 9: base tells the players stay on the field, keep playing,

471
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 9: starting pitchers, saying we're just gonna play through this. So

472
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 9: he allows walks to the first two batters, The next

473
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 9: guy recent base, and then the Giants get a triple

474
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 9: play to get out of the inning.

475
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 10: Giants win four to two against the Cubs in exhibition.

476
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 3: Playing back to you perfect, the whole thing looked like

477
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 3: high school to me, which started with someone was smoking

478
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 3: in the bathroom, followed by the umpire sort of acting like.

479
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: The senior boys.

480
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: Eh, whatever, everything's fine, and then the triple play, which

481
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 3: is also something that especially the way it went down.

482
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: It was not like a cool triple play.

483
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 10: No, runners just didn't know where there were going.

484
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 3: Everybody started running, and then they tagged them all out

485
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: and everybody went home, and so that looked like high

486
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 3: school baseball as well.

487
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: So that, yeah, it was fun.

488
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 9: The new second baseman throws the ball in from right,

489
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 9: nobody's actually coming home, but they thy through to second

490
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 9: base and got a guy there, and through to third

491
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 9: and got another guy. It's spring training people, first inning,

492
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 9: triple play, Cubs loose today.

493
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that we might revisit that Giants Cubs game later

494
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 3: because we have audio I was curious of, and I

495
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 3: think fans will be.

496
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 2: To the speed of the ABS system.

497
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 10: In other words, the ball strike challenge, right.

498
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: The ball strike challenge, how long does it take?

499
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 9: I was counting on some of those, and a lot

500
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 9: of them are under fifteen seconds.

501
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty Uh, it's pretty slick.

502
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 10: Love it.

503
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 3: It's pretty pretty slick. I mean it would it would

504
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 3: have to be. They're not going to make this.

505
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 10: It's not the NFL.

506
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 9: We're not stopping the game. Nobody's coming over to the sidelines.

507
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 9: It's not gonna the last two minutes. If somebody involved

508
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 9: in the pitch challenges with no help from the dugout,

509
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 9: by the way, and the dugout can't challenge it, you

510
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 9: just find out yes or no is a strike and

511
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 9: you move on.

512
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 4: I love it.

513
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 9: Like the other baseball rules recently, it's gonna make the

514
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 9: game better.

515
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: Could I get both of you to weigh in on

516
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 2: something I saw or.

517
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: Replay related this week that I didn't even know was allowed,

518
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 3: Like I was that day years old when I found

519
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 3: out that you could do this. So the Warriors are

520
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 3: playing the Celtics, simple little entry passed to Al Horford.

521
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 3: He gets a little tangled up with Hugo Gonzalez of

522
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 3: the Celtics. They call a foul on Gonzalez, which it

523
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 3: clearly sort of appeared to be like the arms were

524
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 3: all locked up and it kind of hacked Al's arm.

525
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 3: But in that process of Al going up to receive

526
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 3: the entry pass, he also kind of he clips Hugo's

527
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 3: cheek with.

528
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 2: His elbow, so they call a foul on Gonzalez.

529
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 3: But Gonzalez, as a good NBA player does, when you're touched,

530
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 3: you fall to the floor, and so they immediately are like,

531
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 3: we've got a review to see whether this is flagrant. Okay,

532
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 3: no foul has been called on Al, but they're checking

533
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 3: to see if it was flagrant because there was contact

534
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 3: to the head area.

535
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: They come out, this is right.

536
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 3: They do their normal two minutes, everybody starts using the

537
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 3: word secaucus.

538
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 2: And then they come back and they're like, not flagrant.

539
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: So the foul on Gonzalez stands and we're like okay,

540
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: and then the whistle blows again. The Celtics would like

541
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 3: to challenge that, and I'm like, this is double jeopardy.

542
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: What are you doing? They already reviewed it.

543
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 9: This actually happened in a Pete Carroll game at usc

544
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 9: Ones against a No you.

545
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,479
Speaker 3: Could do this, and so then the officials go back

546
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:02,239
Speaker 3: and everyone says the word secauca again and then they

547
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: come out and go, yep, they're right, it's now not

548
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 3: a foul on Gonzales, it's a foul on Horford and

549
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: we're going the other way. I was like, you can't

550
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: look at it twice and come out of there with

551
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 3: different answers, especially.

552
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 5: No, I mean somebody not paying attention, so looking at

553
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 5: it for two different things.

554
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 3: Yes, Now, Steve, of course, who knows all things, understands

555
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 3: why the NBA at least would say we were looking

556
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 3: at two totally different things. We were checking to see

557
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 3: whether it was flagrant. It was not a flagrant act.

558
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 2: We move on. Then the Celtics want to say, yeah,

559
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 2: but was it even just a regular foul?

560
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 9: What they need to say on Mike after the first

561
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 9: one is the actual words, Oh well that changes everything.

562
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 2: Hello.

563
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 3: Then well I was under the impression that when you're looking,

564
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 3: if you saw something that you were looking for, you

565
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 3: you could do that too. So I was just like,

566
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 3: I don't care how you want to frame this, don't

567
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 3: go twice. Like once you looked at it, you looked

568
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 3: at it.

569
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 4: That's how I felt.

570
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, that makes sense, right, Yeah, that's that's the purpose of.

571
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 9: Replay, is challenging something that was actually called usually therefore.

572
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 10: Dot dot dot.

573
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: Right, but like, just go look at it and tell

574
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 3: us what you see.

575
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: Just go tell us what you see.

576
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 10: Create everything that's in the replay, and we'll call all

577
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 10: of it.

578
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 2: Right Just what did you see? What happened?

579
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 3: Let's go anyway, I didn't even know that could I

580
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 3: didn't know you could do that, So.

581
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 4: You could do that? Hmm yeah, you day? How about that?

582
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 4: How about that? All right?

583
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 2: Steve, great stuff, Thank you so much.

584
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 3: As always Steve at the bottom of every hour throughout

585
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 3: the evening and it is always just like Team USA

586
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 3: men's hockey gold. We're live in the Fox Sports Radio studios.

587
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 3: We'll do three things coming up at the top of

588
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 3: this coming hour, but a little bit more on everything

589
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 3: that unfolded early this morning at least our time, Team

590
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 3: USA defeats Canada for the gold in men's hockey as

591
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 3: the Olympics come to a close. We're in the Fox

592
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 3: Sports Radio studios, marketing from Fox Sports Radio.

593
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

594
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 3: All right, live in the Fox Sports Radio studios. Coming

595
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 3: up at the top of the hour, we do three things.

596
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: Three things. We kind of started it in the football season,

597
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 3: our top three observations from the day or from the week,

598
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 3: and then from you started doing something real cool, which

599
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 3: was taking at least one of the three and doing

600
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,239
Speaker 3: something that was totally off the football map. And then

601
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 3: we're like, why don't why don't we just do this

602
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 3: year round observations from the week as a whole, So

603
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 3: we'll do that coming up at the top of the hour.

604
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 3: Feel we should probably put a little bit of a

605
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 3: bow on everything with this hockey game that took place

606
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 3: earlier today. I'm expecting that at least in the near term.

607
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 3: In some places this isn't an issue. It is where

608
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 3: we live. We live in California, and hockey is it's

609
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 3: a winter ice sport.

610
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 2: It is great, like it has been successful.

611
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 3: More years than others, but it is not the centerpiece

612
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 3: of the sports fan mind in.

613
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 2: California and in places like that.

614
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 3: We're about to see the same kind of bump that

615
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 3: happens to artists like Bad Bunny after the Super Bowl.

616
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 3: Like I've already been looking at some data today with

617
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 3: regard to ticket sales in for example, San Jose, and

618
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 3: San Jose has Maclin Sealabrini, who was a major part

619
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 3: of Canada's run and he is probably the best young

620
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 3: player in hockey number one overall. Pick a couple of

621
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 3: years ago, and he's a big, big, big deal, And

622
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 3: I wonder around the country what we sort of feel

623
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 3: like we learned and what the effect of this tournament

624
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 3: will be as guys get back to the ice, and

625
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 3: I think that games restart on Wednesday.

626
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's amazing that they just come right

627
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 5: on home and they get right onto it.

628

00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,320

653
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 4: The locker room up though. You know, you know what

654
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 4: it makes me think of.

655
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 3: You'll really appreciate this because you'll know exactly what I'm

656
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 3: talking about.

657
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 4: It's a famous moment.

658
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: It's been much discussed in documentaries since then.

659
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 2: But the Redeemed team in.

660
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 3: Basketball with Kobe when they got to the end and

661
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 3: they were going against power Gasol's team, and Kobe told

662
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 3: his teammates Lebron, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, He's like, for

663
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 3: I know exactly what play they're going to run, and

664
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna run right through Pau Gasol and his teammates

665
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 3: were like, dude, that's.

666
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: Your boy on the Lakers, Like, no, you're not.

667
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 3: And first play Pow sets the screen and Kobe Oh

668
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 3: obliterates him right through the chest.

669
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 2: And because of the way Pow is, he understood, he

670
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 2: got it.

671
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 4: He's like, I didn't even surprise me.

672
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 3: We were here to win, and so were they, and

673
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 3: that's what and he was setting the tone for his team.

674
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: So Pow really got it. Powell understands Kobe.

675
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 3: They are you know, they became very very close friends,

676
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 3: their families and whatnot.

677
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 4: But what do you think that moment was like.

678
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 3: When they all got back to the Laker locker room

679
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 3: after that tournament.

680
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 4: It had to be just.

681
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 5: Like y'all got us a good one.

682
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 4: It just seems crazy.

683
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:40,479
Speaker 11: Man.

684
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 3: Pal's getting into his uniform and he says, see that

685
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: bruise right there on.

686
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 4: My left pack, I can't move my right arm. That's

687
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 4: that's that was that's your shoulder.

688
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 12: Thanks hilarious, But you're right, man, the whole thing is

689
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 12: super incestuous, like sports incestuous.

690
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 5: You know, it's it's it's hard, man, It's difficult, like

691
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 5: I couldn't imagine.

692
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 4: I couldn't imagine.

693
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of what the football equivalent would be.

694
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 3: And if you ever experienced anything like it, like that, doesn't.

695
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 5: It's so mean, it's Wednesday. They're flying back now, it's Wednesday, right,

696
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 5: they go to work together.

697
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 3: But football doesn't have any set aside with the World

698
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 3: Baseball Classic now, like football is the only one that

699
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 3: doesn't have something where everybody runs to their country and

700
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 3: puts on a new jersey.

701
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 4: Right well, I mean flag football is in the Olympics now, so.

702
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, flag football is taking over man.

703
00:39:59,280 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

704
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 5: So if you so say you have somebody like, uh,

705
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 5: you know, I don't know, I may we'll probably be

706
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 5: like he's not playing anymore, but like Victor Cruz right

707
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 5: in touch with his Hispanic roots and all that, so

708
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 5: you play with yeah, like it'd have to be. That's

709
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 5: that's the only way. But even that, it's just flag football.

710
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 3: Right right exactly, So like whatever, all right, we'll do

711
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 3: three things marketing from coming up next.

712
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

713
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 3: All right, that's it. The curtain has fallen on the

714
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 3: Winter Games. Team USA wins the gold.

715
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 2: Uh.

716
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 3: The NBA ramping everything up post All Star Break. College

717
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 3: basketball is starting to let it clear its throat because

718
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 3: it is almost March, which is you know when we

719
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 3: start paying attention. So there's all of that, and then

720
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 3: of course combine NFL Draft free agency. That stuff is

721
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 3: always out there, so this is that time of year,

722
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 3: my brother, Well, we can just kind of we can

723
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 3: just go anywhere we go anywhere. Don't forget Baseball spring

724
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 3: training games actually started this weekend, so we can go

725
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 3: absolutely anywhere. We're broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio

726
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 3: studios and at this time every Sunday. We started this

727
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 3: in the football season. Six in the West, nine in

728
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 3: the East. We'd love to give you three things, our

729
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 3: top three observations of the entire week. That was, I

730
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 3: always go first, and that's only so Ephraim can go last.

731
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 3: Are you ready, my brother, I'm ready. Okay, here we go.

732
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 3: I want you to listen to this. This's got a

733
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 3: lot of run, so I'm sure most of you, if

734
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 3: you're a big sports fan, you've heard this by now.

735
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 3: But I would like to weigh in on it with

736
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 3: a very simple sentence. After you hear it here it is.

737
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 3: This is U c l A head men's basketball coach

738
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 3: Mick Cronin addressing a Michigan State reporter after getting blown

739
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 3: out by Michigan State, a game in which he threw

740
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 3: out one of his own players.

741
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 2: Take a listen.

742
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 6: What was your thoughts in the student section channing Booker's name,

743
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 6: I could.

744
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 4: Give a rats ass about the other team student section

745
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 4: I've met the overall the way.

746
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 8: I would like to give you a kudos for the

747
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 8: worst question.

748
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 4: I've been asked. All Right, did you did you like

749
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 4: there should take it the preparation? Do you really think I.

750
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 2: Care about the other No?

751
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 4: I don't think you care about the other vision?

752
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 2: Your voice?

753
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 4: No, you are here?

754
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 10: You are Come on, dude, no reason, Yes you were.

755
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 4: Everybody's standing here listening to you. Everybody this is on camera,

756
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,919
Speaker 4: they can hear you. I answered the question. I could

757
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 4: give a rat's ass about the other team student section.

758
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 2: At UCLA. I don't care about in Michigan State students.

759
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 2: I mean, who cares.

760
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 3: Mick Cronin is a grade A first class jerk. I

761
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 3: cannot stand when I hear stuff like this. And it's

762
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 3: not a take about whether or not he should be fired.

763
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 3: It's not about UCLA basketball. It's about being a human being.

764
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 3: And all of us who watched it and heard it,

765
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 3: we all knew what Mick didn't in that moment, which

766
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 3: is he thought that cameras being present, and all of

767
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 3: this being recorded. We're going to speak poorly on the reporter.

768
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 3: And the funny thing was we all knew the first

769
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 3: time we heard it. Oh no, it won't. You're the

770
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,720
Speaker 3: one that needs to be aware that cameras are rolling.

771
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 3: You're the one that needs to be reminded we can

772
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 3: hear you. And in fact, the reporter accepted your lame criticism.

773
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 2: Another reporter had moved on.

774
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 3: You went back to go reattack this person needlessly, absolutely

775
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 3: abhorrent behavior. And I can't stand this is no different

776
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 3: than the way baseball umpires take their mask off and

777
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 3: look at people like, how dare you speak to me?

778
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 3: I'm a baseball umpire. Mick Cronin gave off that same energy.

779
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 3: You're the coach at UCLA. This makes you, what like

780
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:32,840
Speaker 3: a higher brand of human being. Get the bleep off

781
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 3: your high horse. Make Cronin, I thought enemy number one

782
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 3: of the sports world this week.

783
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the fact that he ejected his own player

784
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 5: for that play, that hustle play. I watched it play

785
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 5: one hundred times. It wasn't malicious at all. Nope, he

786
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 5: actually made a pretty decent play on the ball trying

787
00:44:56,400 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 5: to block the dunk from behind, and so it just

788
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 5: lets you know he was already on one. Yeah, it's

789
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 5: a bit how you eject your own player, Like what

790
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 5: that's ridiculous?

791
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with that, Like you know, grade a.

792
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 3: Off top and and and miss me with your apology

793
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 3: from the PR director three days later. Don't care in

794
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 3: one ear out the other. You're a jerk. You're still

795
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 3: a jerk. You're always gonna be a jerk. Unless you

796
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 3: want to speak in front of a camera again, and

797
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 3: this time without anything that's prepared. Just speak from the heart,

798
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 3: try to have a tear in your eye and be

799
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:37,720
Speaker 3: nice to somebody else for once.

800
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, I you're absolutely right. My first one is it's

801
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 5: gonna be the Olympics, of course, firewalls. I just want

802
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 5: to send a shout out to both US hockey teams,

803
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 5: men and women. They both won goal, both in overtime,

804
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 5: both against Canada, and both games.

805
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 4: Were thrilling, unbelievable to watch.

806
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 5: If you haven't seen them, I implore you go and

807
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 5: watch them their own peacock. You can do the replay.

808
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 5: They're they're worth a watch. Even though you know what

809
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 5: happened is you will still get caught up in the excitement.

810
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 5: I just think especially that men's final where literally they

811
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 5: were under siege from the second period on, and you know, Connor,

812
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 5: the goalie just completely was locked in.

813
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 4: You want to talk about locked in.

814
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 5: It's something to see because my wife, who watched it

815
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 5: with me, was just going crazy.

816
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 4: What are they doing? You gotta put it like the

817
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 4: lack of possession of the yeah was unbelievable, Well, Canada,

818
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 4: you know this just in there. Good.

819
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 5: The lack of a possession of the puck was She

820
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 5: was like, well, why can't they Well, why don't they

821
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 5: just hold the pug more? Well, I'm like, it's just

822
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,439
Speaker 5: not that simple. So I wanted to give a shout

823
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 5: out to them. They deserve it.

824
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 3: Uh Connor, hallibuck, Connor, hallabuck, hallabuck.

825
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 4: You could hang thell of a player hell.

826
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 3: Hella buck Young And that's how everybody can remember the

827
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 3: last name. Yes, uh, former NHL MVP and today uh

828
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 3: he is Olympic MVP. Not that such thing exists, but yes,

829
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 3: uh he was the centerpiece to this entire thing. All Right,

830
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 3: you're gonna love my number two. You're gonna love my

831
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 3: number two. Running back in the NFL continues to be

832
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 3: the most undervalued position in all of sports. Somebody needs

833
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 3: to explain to me Javante Williams, who just ran for

834
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 3: over twelve hundred yards with a team that likes to

835
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 3: call themselves America's team, fumbled once, fumbled once all year long,

836
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 3: scored touchdowns more often than he didn't in football games

837
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:29,479
Speaker 3: this year for the Dallas Cowboys. That is a very

838
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 3: valuable commodity in the NFL. He played so well that

839
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 3: the Cowboys offered him a new three year deal. Congratulations

840
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 3: to Gavante Williams, and he's gonna eat like he'll be okay,

841
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 3: But that three year deal guarantees him, ready for it,

842
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 3: less than half of what Ceedee Lamb makes in one year.

843
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 3: I don't, for the life of me get it. How

844
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,479
Speaker 3: this guy, if he maxes out, is three year deal

845
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 3: for probably I don't know, what would you guess four

846
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 3: times as many touches is any wide receivers.

847
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 4: Gonna happen easily banging his head in between.

848
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 3: The tackles, huge, huge piece of any offense. And that apparently,

849
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:33,879
Speaker 3: if it maxes out, is worth eight million dollars per

850
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 3: year and we're paying wide receivers forty Explain.

851
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 2: It to me.

852
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 4: I can't like I'm dumb. I can't because I because

853
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 4: I am clearly it makes no sense.

854
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 2: What what what is going on?

855
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 5: I can't wait to see what Kenneth Walker gets. Oh

856
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,240
Speaker 5: that's that's crazy.

857
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 2: Like nine and a half million.

858
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 5: That's going to tell you a lot because he's the

859
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,720
Speaker 5: Super Bowl MVP. I mean, he literally put the team

860
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 5: on his shoulders. He showed the value he has. I

861
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 5: can't wait to see what he gets.

862
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 3: It's gonna blow you away at how small it is.

863
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 3: That's my prediction.

864
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, this this shift is crazy. I'm much better have a.

865
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 5: Dominant running back, a ball control running back that I

866
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 5: can get a guaranteed four yards to carry. To me,

867
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 5: that makes more sense.

868
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 2: Anyway.

869
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 4: All right.

870
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 5: My second one is I'm staying with the Olympics. Shout

871
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 5: out to Oakland's very own Alyssa lou who won a

872
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 5: gold medal in figure skating. Yes, this young woman with

873
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 5: the with the with the striped hair, with the blond

874
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 5: and black hair. I foresee thousands and tens of thousands

875
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 5: of girls adopting this hairstyle, and we'll be seeing it

876
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 5: all over in high school and in young figure skaters.

877
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 4: It just she was tremendous.

878
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 5: And the thing I loved about her is although Olympics

879
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 5: are a pressure field situation, at the age of sixteen

880
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 5: or fifteen, she stepped away from the sport. She stepped

881
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 5: away from the sport to go be a kid, and

882
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 5: it's it's she came back and at twenty and and

883
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 5: and took over and she her skate was was brilliant.

884
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 4: It was.

885
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 5: Free so many times. And I was talking to my

886
00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 5: wife about this pressure. The pressure of this is so

887
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 5: much every turn, every blade stroke, every jump. And what

888
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 5: we did see is the favorites for the US figure

889
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 5: skating team, men and women outside of the team competition,

890
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 5: they let that pressure get to them.

891
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:19,800
Speaker 4: And this young lady stepped into.

892
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 5: The face of pressure and had a couple of skates

893
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 5: of her life, especially to the last one.

894
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 4: Unbelievable to her.

895
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 3: Yeah real, she was incredible, and she has a smile

896
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 3: that fills the entire room and she's not been able

897
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:35,959
Speaker 3: to wipe it off of her face yet.

898
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 4: Nor should she really cool. Unbelievable, Yeah, really cool.

899
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 5: Now on the flip side of that Amber Glenn struggle,

900
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 5: she the pressure got to it was too big man,

901
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 5: and you can see it in her face when she

902
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 5: was skating. Not to be disparaging to her, because they

903
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,839
Speaker 5: all are tremendous athletes. Something I couldn't do if you,

904
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 5: you know, if you gave me a million years to train.

905
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 5: But the ruality of how both athletes approached the competition,

906
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 5: I think speaks volumes. Sometimes we do put too much

907
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 5: pressure on ourselves and that pressure can't get the best

908
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 5: of us sometimes.

909
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 3: No, I mean, the Olympics kind of leans in it

910
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 3: does imagine imagine the work that you put in to

911
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 3: become a professional athlete. If when you had gotten to

912
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 3: the NFL, they're like, all right, you get one play.

913
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 3: Don't mess it up. Yeah, because if you mess it up,

914
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 3: you might get another play, but it's in four years.

915
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 2: Like that.

916
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:38,320
Speaker 3: That piece of the Olympics can sometimes be hard to watch.

917
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a tough one because especially if you're aging

918
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 5: out ye if this is the last go round, yep.

919
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 4: It's it's really difficult to watch.

920
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,919
Speaker 5: And everybody doesn't have, uh, you know, a fairy tale

921
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 5: Olympic story.

922
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 4: Lolo Jones.

923
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, most don't.

924
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 4: Most don't aimen to that.

925
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 3: Okay, something tells me that what I'm about to throw

926
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 3: out there is something that will continue talking about as

927
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,479
Speaker 3: the show unfolds tonight. I want anybody taking to listen

928
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 3: to this. This is, you know, the the nightly kind

929
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 3: of roundtable put together by all of the guys with

930
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 3: what was the NBA on TNT. So here's here's Charles

931
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 3: Barkley talking about the soup du jour, everyone tanking in

932
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 3: the NBA, everyone's got their fix, and it all kind

933
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 3: of just sounded like noise after a while, until Charles

934
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 3: stepped forward and said this, We've got to.

935
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 13: Come up with some type of solution because it's not

936
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 13: fair to the game. First and foremost, it's not fair

937
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 13: to your fan base. I've always suggested this rule. I

938
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 13: don't think any NBA team should be able to raise

939
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,240
Speaker 13: their ticket prices and be a below five hundred.

940
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 14: I think they should make that a rule in every sport.

941
00:54:58,480 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 4: To be honest with.

942
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 15: You, it'd be interesting extra, that'd be some incentive, it'd be.

943
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 14: But no, not even if you're still trying to tank.

944
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 13: You can't raise your ticket prices because then you're getting

945
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 13: your cake and eat it too, which you know, I'm

946
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 13: fuck cake getting your cake. Yes, So I've said just

947
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 13: two things. Number one, every team and a lot of

948
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 13: us should get one ping pong ball if the team

949
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:20,879
Speaker 13: that had the worst record I think has only got

950
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 13: the number one pick like two out of twenty five years.

951
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 13: So give everybody one ping pong ball if you don't

952
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 13: make the playoffs. If you don't make the playoffs. But

953
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 13: also this is another one. If you trade a pick,

954
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 13: it's gone because now teams are they can manipulate it

955
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 13: well if it falls in the top three or four

956
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 13: of top seven protected.

957
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 3: No. I listened to Jack, and usually Chuck is good

958
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 3: for a laugh, you know, little yucket up and I

959
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 3: was like, green jack, green Jack.

960
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 4: Green jack all the way around.

961
00:55:58,440 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 2: Dude, you nailed it.

962
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 4: You nailed it.

963
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 3: I've long been a proponent in all of this tanking

964
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:08,399
Speaker 3: stuff of just make all non playoff teams equal when

965
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 3: it comes to the lottery. But what he kind of

966
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,480
Speaker 3: sandwiched around that idea, which is you are not allowed

967
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 3: to raise ticket prices when you have a losing record.

968
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 3: And then even more brilliance, this pick protection stuff. I'm sorry,

969
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 3: we can't follow it. You are an American entertainment entity.

970
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 3: We have to be able to follow it. When you

971
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 3: tell the fans, well, we'd like to sign that player,

972
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,760
Speaker 3: but we're hard capped up against the second apron. Nobody

973
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 3: knows what the hell you're talking about. I don't know

974
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 3: what the apron is. That's something that my mom used

975
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 3: to wear when she cooked. I don't even know what

976
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 3: the number is. I don't know what the rules are

977
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 3: pick protections. I'm sending out a first rounder in twenty

978
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 3: twenty seven unless it's top three, moves to twenty twenty nine,

979
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 3: it's top seven.

980
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 2: Man it moves to twenty thirty.

981
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 3: One, and man if then it's his top twenty, then

982
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 3: I stand on my head and we do a pixel. Well,

983
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 3: I can't follow what you're doing. I love the simplification

984
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 3: of what Chuck said.

985
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 4: It makes sense, and.

986
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 5: Most time, most oftentimes, the simplest answer is the right one.

987
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 4: Thank you.

988
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 5: Mine is outside the world of well, it's not outside

989
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 5: the world of sports.

990
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 4: It's wrestling.

991
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 5: The WWE Royal Rumble, and riad I'm sitting here watching it.

992
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 5: This may be a replay. This can't be real. I mean,

993
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 5: I know it's not real, but people can't enjoy watching this.

994
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 5: The Royal Rumble is when you know you have every

995
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 5: wrestler on the docket comes in and it's the last woman.

996
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 5: In this case, it's the Women's World Rumble or Last

997
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,840
Speaker 5: Man Standing, and they're just in the ring. They're all

998
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 5: fighting each other. And I remember when I was a

999
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 5: huge fan of the WWF when I was growing up,

1000
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 5: But as an adult, I'm looking at this and I'm like,

1001
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,280
Speaker 5: I can't, I can't do this, this, this can't be

1002
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 5: And I know it's entertainment, but it's out of control.

1003
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 5: I don't know if when's the last time you've seen

1004
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 5: something like this. It's it's currently on one of the

1005
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 5: other networks, and I'm looking and it's people in the

1006
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 5: stands and they're cheering.

1007
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 4: Was not really packed. It's pretty empty in there, to

1008
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 4: be honest. But it's just not entertaining because it's not real.

1009
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 4: It's all scripted.

1010
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 5: Before any of the fighters got in the ring, we

1011
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 5: know who's gonna win, or they know who's gonna win,

1012
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 5: and then it's just very performative in under the guides

1013
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 5: of I don't know, it's just hard to watch because

1014
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 5: of the fake hitting, the fake stumping.

1015
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 4: Right, I'm sorry.

1016
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 5: It just happened to be on my mind right now

1017
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 5: because it's on one of the channels.

1018
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 4: Never too much. I'm with you.

1019
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 3: I've never understood it either. It's almost like watching Lebron

1020
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 3: James on defense.

1021
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 4: Am I right, Yeah, you're right, You're right. Okay, all right.

1022
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 3: I do want to get a little bit more into

1023
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 3: the chuck stuff, and we can do that coming up next.

1024
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:37,000

Speaker 4: Of the air.

1043
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:35,160
Speaker 3: Pat Riley's stamp was all over this Laker Celtics game

1044
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 3: today except for the outcome.

1045
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 2: I let you, I bet you do.

1046
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 3: So this is kind of interesting because they unveil the

1047
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 3: statue and Pat while still I mean, my gosh, he

1048
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 3: still looks like he does.

1049
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 4: An age.

1050
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 2: And he's still doing all the things he.

1051
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 3: Does, but we haven't been hearing from him nearly as much.

1052
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 3: So I thought it was fun to get to hear

1053
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 3: pat Riley speak on some issues and just kind of

1054
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 3: not just reminisce about the past, but get into the current.

1055
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 3: You're a Laker fan, how did this all kind of

1056
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 3: vibe with you?

1057
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 4: Number? One?

1058
01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 5: I love pat Riley, one of my favorite coaches. I

1059
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 5: thought the statue was amazing. It's adding to the long

1060
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 5: lineage of great Lakers, whether it be coaching, players, announcers,

1061
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 5: and you know, when you come out in front of

1062
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 5: Crypto Arena, it's almost like amaze. You got to make

1063
01:01:56,240 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 5: your way through the greatness, which is also you know,

1064
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 5: exhibited inside when you look at all of the jerseys

1065
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 5: and the greatness that's been been through that building along

1066
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 5: with the seventeen championships. So I think it's well deserved.

1067
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 5: I think, if anything, Miami could have a pet Riley

1068
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 5: statue out front of there as well, and so he's

1069
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 5: one of those.

1070
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 4: Key figures and what made the NBA what the NBA was.

1071
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 5: Being there with magic and helping usher in showtime Lakers

1072
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 5: and the greatness there and you know, the repeats and

1073
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 5: things of that nature.

1074
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 4: That's pat Riley.

1075
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 3: I was just thinking, I mean, first of all, everything

1076
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 3: you just said, but then also I was really thankful

1077
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 3: that they put that statue up today because now they

1078
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 3: can start getting to work on what clearly needs to

1079
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:10,560
Speaker 3: be the next statue, which is Steve de Seger.

1080
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 4: Perfect.

1081
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 10: I do not have an Armandi suit, thank you.

1082
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 2: That's okay, It's okay, just a quarter zip will be fine.

1083
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 10: This will not be happening.

1084
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 9: We've got finals, not just the Lakers games, finals to pass.

1085
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 10: Along and then we'll talk about the Olympics.

1086
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 9: But Philadelphia has won at Minnesota one thirty five to

1087
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 9: oneh eight, Tyrese Maxi having a year thirty nine points.

1088
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,800
Speaker 9: And yes, the Lakers did lose at home to Boston

1089
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 9: one eleven eighty nine. Jalen Brown thirty two points, Peyton

1090
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 9: Pritchard had thirty. The Clippers have the Lake game. They

1091
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 9: are underway at home, down twenty four to twenty to

1092
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 9: the Magic. Portland leads sixty three forty nine at Phoenix

01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 9: Olympics every four years since nineteen twenty four, over a century,

1133
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 9: with the exception of during World War Two when there

1134
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 9: were no Olympics. Hockey was actually introduced to the Olympic

1135
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 9: Games with a small tournament in the Summer Olympics of

1136

1137
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 9: Canada won the gold. They only had to play three games.

1138
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:25,120

1139
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:27,960

Speaker 9: last game twelve to one, and in between Canada beat

1141
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 9: the US two nothing. The Americans until today, in all

1142
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 9: of those years over a century of hockey in the Olympics,

1143
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 9: had won the gold twice. Now there's a guy named

1144
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 9: Brock Nelson on today's team who has a gold medal

1145
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:51,920
Speaker 9: from the Colorado Avalanche. His uncle, who was in attendance

1146
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 9: in Milan today, also has a gold medal because he

1147
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 9: was part of the nineteen eighty Miracle on ice team

1148
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 9: and his grand father has a gold medal because he

1149
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 9: was part of Team USA in nineteen sixty when they

1150
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 9: won it all in an upset when the Winter Olympics

1151
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 9: were held outside Lake Tahoe. The only three times the

1152
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 9: US has won gold in men's hockey, and this one

1153
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 9: family has a participant all three.

1154
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 4: Wow times Wow.

1155
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 9: And if you, as we continue the Wow stories, saw

1156
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 9: the postgame celebration, you saw the number thirteen jersey being

1157
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:32,200
Speaker 9: paraded around by the US team. That was that of

1158
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 9: Johnny Gudreau, the late Johnny Gudreau. He and his younger

1159
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 9: brother Matthew a year and a half ago were struck

1160
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 9: by an SUV while riding bicycles. Players insist Johnny Gudreau

1161
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 9: probably would have made this Olympic team. He had already

1162
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 9: played for a US team in a World Championships. During

1163
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 9: each game during this Olympic tournament, as a tribute, this

1164
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 9: team hung his jersey, that number thirteen in its locker room,

1165
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 9: which they did a year year ago when there was

1166
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 9: the four nations face off here in North America. The

1167
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 9: Gooduroux brothers had been hockey teammates at Boston College, so

1168
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 9: we get the celebration after winning the gold in overtime

1169
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,919
Speaker 9: no less and three of the players, including US team

1170
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 9: captain Austin Matthews, were skating around the ice with the

1171
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 9: number thirteen jersey. Team USA takes a photo at center

1172
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:28,599
Speaker 9: ice with the gold medals around their necks, and then

1173
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 9: a couple of teammates tell the guys stick around, and

1174
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 9: they skate over to the stands and they bring over

1175
01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 9: two of the little kids of Guduau. His widow is

1176
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 9: in the stands and his parents in the stands watching

1177
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:47,080
Speaker 9: this gold medal final today, and they bring the two

1178
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 9: little kids in their arms back with them on the

1179
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 9: ice to join the team with a picture with their

1180
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 9: late father's jersey number thirteen next to them as the

1181
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:04,640
Speaker 9: team celebrates the gold medal today. That way an incredible

1182
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:05,560
Speaker 9: Winter Olympics.

1183
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 3: Awesome pool, Steve, thank you for going through that step

1184
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 3: by step for everybody, because that quite frankly was as

1185
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:19,160
Speaker 3: compelling as.

1186
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 2: The as the game itself.

1187
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 3: Just just an incredible display of all things.

1188
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 2: Like you know, this sort of comes from.

1189
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 3: Like the way I view what we all do, because

1190
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 3: we're kind of in this world and in this business,

1191
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 3: but whatever it is, you're sort of like watching consuming

1192
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 3: if it's on a TV, if it's on a phone,

1193
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 3: if it's on a laptop, if it's on a car radio,

1194
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 3: like whatever, it is, in some way, shape or.

1195
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 2: Form, it's storytelling.

1196
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 3: And I thought that was such an amazing thing to

1197
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 3: kind of unfold after this, to really contribute to not

1198
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 3: just hey America one, but it immediately almost forced everybody

1199
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 3: to do what you've you hear now Steve has done,

1200
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 3: which is go kind of dive in and learn the

1201
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 3: uh the story behind this and uh, that was just great.

1202
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 3: That's just just great. Just a great event, great great watch,

1203
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 3: great day.

1204
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 4: It's a way to cap off the Olympics. Serious. Yeah,

1205
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 4: it's a great time. Yeah, it's great. And it you know,

1206
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 4: shake Shug got in our favor.

1207
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 2: Sure did. Sure a marriage, Sure sure did.

1208
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:46,799
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1209
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 3: And it's like it's like Mike Tarico said, you sort

1210
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 3: of piggybacked on it with some really cool comments earlier

1211
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 3: with regard to how this country loves sports and it

1212
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 3: brings us together like nothing else. And I do think

1213
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 3: that that has a little something to do with why

1214
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:11,200
Speaker 3: so many people immediately go to frustration whenever sort of

1215
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:15,719
Speaker 3: the political stuff does land or overlap with sports. Don't

1216
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:19,679
Speaker 3: get me wrong. I don't think that's avoidable. It's always

1217
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 3: been that way. In fact, the Olympics, How's some of

1218
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:29,759
Speaker 3: the most famous messages and protests and everything with regard

1219
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 3: to what's really really going on in the world. So

1220
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:34,680
Speaker 3: I don't think it's avoidable. I don't think it should be.

1221
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,640
Speaker 3: I'm definitely not a shut up and dribble guy, that's

1222
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,720
Speaker 3: for sure. But I do think one of the reasons

1223
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:45,960
Speaker 3: there's this kind of pushback when that happens is because

1224
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 3: people in many ways would love to use sports to

1225
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:54,680
Speaker 3: be the spot where we can connect. And that's not

1226
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 3: even about politics. Like, who's a dude, who's ever been

1227
01:11:58,479 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 3: at a party with people?

1228
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 4: They don't they know all that? Well, what do you

1229
01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 4: talk about?

1230
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 3: Give two dudes eight seconds and they'll be They'll be

1231
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 3: on sport.

1232
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 2: That's what.

1233
01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:11,840
Speaker 4: That's what.

1234
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 3: That's how we connect with one another on many occasions at.

1235
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 4: Least brilliant and that's the importance of sport. Unbelievable. Amen

1236
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:26,680
Speaker 4: to that.

1237
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, great stuff, Steve as always, thank you very much.

Speaker 3: Maybe we circle back to the Barkley stuff and dive

1244
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:55,560

01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:05,440
Speaker 3: All right, sitting here live in the Fox Sports Radio studios.

1248
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:07,040
Speaker 2: Before we.

1249
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 3: Before I play this, I'd love to just get your

1250
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 3: general opinion on what they're gonna do in baseball this year,

1251
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 3: the balls and Strikes Challenge system. I have to do

1252
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 3: some more reading up on it. Steve can probably help

1253
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 3: us too. Like it's only spring training, so we're kind

1254
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,600
Speaker 3: of in our spring training too in terms of like

1255
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,280
Speaker 3: how many per game they get. I know there's a limit.

1256
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 3: Things sort of open up in the extra innings, but

1257
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:39,680
Speaker 3: basic idea, you're gonna see players after a ball or

1258
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:43,679
Speaker 3: a strike call this year, tap their helmet and then

1259
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:46,679
Speaker 3: we're gonna review ball or strike and it's gonna look

1260
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 3: like a little square pops up on the screen. It's

1261
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 3: gonna look very similar to a tennis serve. And as

1262
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 3: to whether or not the ball is in the box

1263
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 3: or out of the box, what's what's your thought?

1264
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:57,640
Speaker 4: I love it.

1265
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:02,840
Speaker 5: I mean so many, especially in the playoffs, so many

1266
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 5: you know, calls are strikes, our balls were off. And

1267
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:14,560
Speaker 5: the funny part is if we can My wife was

1268
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 5: saying that. She was like, whoa, you have the technology

1269
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 5: because it's on the screen. The square is on the

1270
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:27,800
Speaker 5: screen for us, right, So I meant no, but the

1271
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 5: Empire does have an earpiece in yep, and someone can

1272
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:38,559
Speaker 5: see the box, so the challenge should go relatively quick. Well,

1273
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 5: and I think it's only like if you challenge it,

1274
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:45,639
Speaker 5: that's when you can get a yes or no right

1275
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 5: away pretty quick.

1276
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,640
Speaker 3: But that remember box on the screen no different than

1277
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:54,440
Speaker 3: the yellow line in football, Like that's not an official thing. Yeah,

1278
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 3: it got something a little bit more official that's gonna

1279
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 3: pop up, Like I'll describe what this looks like with what.

1280
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 2: We're about to listen to.

1281
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 3: But like that's not it's not as simple as you know,

1282
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 3: did the little splash mark?

1283
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:09,759
Speaker 2: Is it?

1284
01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 4: You know?

1285
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 2: Is it inside the box or not that we're watching

1286
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 2: on TV? I hate the.

1287
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 4: Box, do you well?

1288
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 2: I don't hate the review idea.

1289
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 3: I hate the box because the box only serves to

1290
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 3: piss us off.

1291
01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 4: Your wife will.

1292
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 2: Agree with me on this. How annoying is it.

1293
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,679
Speaker 3: When we can sit here and see that the balls

1294
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 3: in the box and the umpire doesn't move.

1295
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 2: It's just like, look, let's do this together.

1296
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:39,439
Speaker 3: I don't want the umpire watching one thing and we're

1297
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 3: watching something totally different, because when it gets it wrong,

1298
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:45,439
Speaker 3: it makes my blood pressure go through the roof.

1299
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 4: And I don't need that.

1300
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 2: It's just a baseball game.

1301
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 3: So I'm kind of glad that at least now there's

1302
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 3: some recourse when we do arrive at Wrongville, which we will.

1303
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 4: Well, look, I think it's time.

1304
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 5: I think uh technology has progressed sport in the right direction,

1305
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 5: the less human error and sports what you need a

1306
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 5: little bit, you know, you need a little bit of

1307
01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 5: human error. But when when it's all, when it's a

1308
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:32,719
Speaker 5: championship on the line, you could do with no human error.

1309
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:36,760
Speaker 5: You can take that excuse out the playbook.

1310
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 4: No it was fixed? What how Oh they wanted so

1311
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:42,600
Speaker 4: and so to.

1312
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 5: Right so we could start by, you know, in championship

1313
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 5: games of World Series, super Bowl. Yeah I don't, Yeah,

1314
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 5: I don't. I don't need you to, you know, I

1315
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 5: want the right call every time.

1316
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 4: I'm with you.

1317
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:06,840
Speaker 3: I just want to remind everybody, like, I don't know,

1318
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:09,479
Speaker 3: it could be this year, maybe it's not till next year.

1319
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 3: But here's what's coming. What's coming is umpire raised his arm,

1320
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 3: strike three. Catcher takes off to go tackle the picture.

1321
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 3: We have won the World Series bot or touch his head.

1322
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 3: It's gonna take some moments away.

1323
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 4: That's OK. You still get to have that moment if

1324
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 4: you were right.

1325
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, But.

1326
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 4: If you were wrong, sit back down, back down, right.

1327
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:52,759
Speaker 3: So here's just like this happened in a Giants cub

1328
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 3: spring game today. They're shortstop Willi adamis. I just wanted

1329
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 3: everybody to hear the cadence of this. John Miller is

1330
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 3: on the call and this this is what this is

1331
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:06,600
Speaker 3: what it all sounded like, not a.

1332
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 16: One or two pitch and the slider strike three call,

1333
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:17,639
Speaker 16: and Adamas taps to the top of his helmet. He's

1334
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 16: going to challenge this call. And we're watching the scoreboard

1335
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:32,720
Speaker 16: out there. Just I mean it was about one one

1336
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:38,639
Speaker 16: hundredth of an inch lower. It didn't touch the box though,

1337
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,720
Speaker 16: got to touch the box, oh, by the word. So

1338
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:44,600
Speaker 16: he's still up there to it to the cowt.

1339
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 4: Do it to the cow, to it to the kill.

1340
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 2: But that's how quick it is.

1341
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's quick.

1342
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 2: And you do get to see a little animation situation

1343
01:18:56,479 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 2: put on.

1344
01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 4: A scoreboard, right, yeah, for all to see.

1345
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:01,760
Speaker 3: And the ball goes and it hits the spot and

1346
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:04,040
Speaker 3: it like you get to see does it touch the

1347
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:04,600
Speaker 3: box or not?

1348
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 4: Love that.

1349
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 3: And this one was just a hair like you could

1350
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,799
Speaker 3: literally fit a hair between the ball and the box.

1351
01:19:12,200 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 4: So it was a ball.

1352
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 3: But that's the delay we're talking about. Felt like about

1353
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 3: ten seconds.

1354
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, love it.

1355
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 3: So that's coming to your h that's coming to your

1356
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 3: baseball stadium this year. So speaking of things you love

1357
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:33,679
Speaker 3: real quick. We were just playing with about a minute here.

1358
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 3: But pat Riley says he wants the NBA coaches back

1359
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:38,479
Speaker 3: in suits.

1360
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:49,760
Speaker 11: You with him, No, see, I'm with you, I'm with you.

1361
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people are like, yeah, no.

1362
01:19:56,360 --> 01:19:59,799
Speaker 4: As a coach, I know how uncomfortable a suit.

1363
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:02,880
Speaker 2: Would be, seriously.

1364
01:20:03,800 --> 01:20:06,480
Speaker 4: Serious, like I couldn't imagine, Like I know how uncomfortable

1365
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 4: that would be with a.

1366
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 5: Tie on and all of that. Like, yeah, yeah, that's tough.

1367
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 3: Trying to chase down a referee, Like I don't know,

1368
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 3: maybe it's hard, right, Like our jobs, our jobs are

1369
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,559
Speaker 3: so casual in terms of dress, I'm like, put them in.

1370
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:25,719
Speaker 2: Well top hat maybe.

1371
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:28,600
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

1372
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 3: So all right, let's get back to the Charles Barkley

1373
01:20:31,320 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 3: thing and expand on that. We'll do it coming up next.

1374
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 3: You don't listening to sports radio radio off into the night,

1375
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:45,440
Speaker 3: we go broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios,

1376
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 3: been talking out that unbelievable gold metal win for Team

1377
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:54,639
Speaker 3: USA early in the morning for some regular morning. For others,

1378
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 3: I thought it was a good little exercise. It was

1379
01:20:56,960 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 3: kind of like a London football game or yeah, I

1380
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:02,559
Speaker 3: don't know football if you live in.

1381
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 2: Hawaii, so you know what I mean, something like that.

1382
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 3: But anyway, that was definitely where our focus was for

1383
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:13,080
Speaker 3: the majority of the day. Lots going on as the

1384
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 3: NBA gets started as well into its post All Star

1385
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 3: break final third of the season. The Celtics defeat the

1386
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 3: Lakers tonight. That doesn't really slow the role of pat Riley,

1387
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 3: who had a statue erected in his honor there in

1388
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 3: Los Angeles, very very cool speech. So just kind of

1389
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 3: talking and rocking through all of that with my good

1390
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:36,519
Speaker 3: man from salam And I wanted to circle back to

1391
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 3: this because Charles Barkley and his regular NBA media duties

1392
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 3: just kind of organically rolled into something the other night

1393
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 3: that I thought was profound. And I'm not calling Charles

1394
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 3: Barkley a dummy. I certainly don't think that, but we

1395
01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:57,919
Speaker 3: don't usually go to him for profound. That's not usually

1396
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:02,560
Speaker 3: the role. That Usually the role is little analysis, some yacks,

1397
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 3: some fun personality.

1398
01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 2: But I thought this was just straight smart.

1399
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 3: Listen to what Charles says when he talks about tanking

1400
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 3: and the problems facing the NBA.

1401
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:16,839
Speaker 13: We've got to come up with some type of solution

1402
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 13: because it's not fair to the game. First and foremost,

1403
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 13: it's not fair to.

1404
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:24,599
Speaker 14: Your fan base. I've always suggested this rule.

1405
01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 13: I don't think any NBA team should be able to

1406
01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:29,880
Speaker 13: raise their ticket prices if be below five hundred.

1407
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 14: I think this should make that a rule in every sport.

1408
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:35,320
Speaker 15: To be honest with you, it'd be interesting, Chuckster, that'd

1409
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 15: be some incentive, it'd be, But no, not even if

1410
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 15: you're still trying to tank.

1411
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 13: You can't raise your ticket prices because then you're getting

1412
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 13: your cake and eat it too. With you know, I'm

1413
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 13: fuck kke getting your cake and eating too. Yes, So

1414
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 13: I've said just two things. Number one, every team and

1415
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 13: a lot of us should get one ping pong ball.

1416
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 13: The team that had the worst record, I think has

1417
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:56,640
Speaker 13: only got the number one pick like two out of

1418
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,360
Speaker 13: twenty five years. So give everybody one ping pong ball

1419
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,680
Speaker 13: if you don't make playoff. If you don't make the playoffs.

1420
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 13: But also, this is another one. If you trade a pick,

1421
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:09,240
Speaker 13: it's gone because now teams are by manipultly dumb it

1422
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 13: well if it falls into top three or four of

1423
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 13: top seven protected.

1424
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:17,120
Speaker 2: No, okay, I said it earlier.

1425
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:21,760
Speaker 3: You seem to concur I thought this was three completely

1426
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:26,599
Speaker 3: separate things, and it was green check, green check, green check.

1427
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 3: Let's start with the one though, that's least likely to

1428
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:37,919
Speaker 3: happen because NBA owners greenlighting the idea of ticket sales

1429
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:41,479
Speaker 3: are not under our control. Unless our team wins more

1430
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:44,719
Speaker 3: games than it loses. That's going to be a hard sell.

1431
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 3: Sports owners don't usually look at the world through those glasses.

1432
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 3: They usually do not give up their control of their

1433
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 3: financial asset.

1434
01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 2: I was just looking at this. Apologies.

1435
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 3: If you're a fan of this team, it was the

1436
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 3: first one that popped to mind. You have any idea

1437
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 3: when the last time if we were to do something

1438
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 3: like this, when was the last time the Washington Wizards

1439
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 3: would have been allowed to have raised ticket prices?

1440
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 4: What's your guests, Oh man, I have no clue. Ten years.

1441
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 2: That is almost exactly right.

1442
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,719
Speaker 3: At the end of next season, it will have been

1443
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:37,000
Speaker 3: ten seasons since the.

1444
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 2: Washington Wizards twenty seventeen.

1445
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 3: Twenty eighteen was the last time that they won more

1446
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 3: games than they lost. So sit down at a bargaining

1447
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:52,800
Speaker 3: table and explain to the owner of the Wizards why

1448
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:53,799
Speaker 3: this is a good idea.

1449
01:24:57,760 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, look, Charles made some excellent points, and the things

1450
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:13,160
Speaker 5: he's doing is he's taken care of the people who

1451
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:18,439
Speaker 5: should be taken care of, and that's the fans. It

1452
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 5: is getting more and more increasingly expensive to go for

1453
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 5: a family, for an individual to go to a basketball game,

1454
01:25:25,479 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 5: let alone the family. What he didn't add is all

1455
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:39,960
Speaker 5: concessions are half off and buy one, get one free. Right,

1456
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:43,800
Speaker 5: So if you get two hot dogs, one of them free.

1457
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:49,160
Speaker 5: If you get two drinks, one of them free. If

1458
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 5: your team is in the lottery, if you're below the line,

1459
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:03,719
Speaker 5: that should be standard and you know at least people

1460
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 5: will come. You won't have half empty arenas. Yeah, if

1461
01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 5: I knew I could take my basketball team to the

1462
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 5: game and take the eight kids, and knew if I

1463
01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 5: bought eight hot dogs and eight drinks and eight popcorns,

1464
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 5: I only have to pay for half of them, and

1465
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:26,600
Speaker 5: the tickets were reasonable.

1466
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 4: Of course, Yep, it makes too much sense for it

1467
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:31,880
Speaker 4: to happen.

1468
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:34,400
Speaker 5: Now.

1469
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 4: I don't know if the league can mandate that.

1470
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:40,559
Speaker 2: Well, I mean they can vote anything in.

1471
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:42,840
Speaker 4: They're not going to vote that in because the owners

1472
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:44,639
Speaker 4: have to vote it in, right, but.

1473
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:52,000
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, that's outside of the collected collected bargaining. No,

1474
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:54,639
Speaker 3: this is going to take and that's why I bring

1475
01:26:54,680 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 3: it up, like this would take a broader vision for

1476
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 3: creating popularity.

1477
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 2: For your league.

1478
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:09,000
Speaker 3: And as much as we're all frustrated, I don't think

1479
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 3: we've arrived yet at a spot where fans are hitting

1480
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 3: the owners back in their pocket books enough for them

1481
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 3: to want to do something like this. People are still

1482
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:25,599
Speaker 3: going to get the eight games, just still going as.

1483
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 4: Bad as some of them are. You go to a

1484
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:28,640
Speaker 4: Kings game, really.

1485
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 3: Good, lord, nice arena you ever been up there? Niceness

1486
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:36,360
Speaker 3: and nice? Yeah, yeah, it's a good arena. It's a

1487
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:40,920
Speaker 3: good spot. The names on the wall up there in Sacramento.

1488
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 3: Man Jersey's hanging in the raptors in Sacramento, not at

1489
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 3: the arena, but at my high school. Yeah, I mean

1490
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 3: two years ago they actually looked like that, you know

1491
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:54,920
Speaker 3: what I mean, someone brought this up to me. They're like,

1492
01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:04,600
Speaker 3: has anybody checked in on the bulbs in the beam?

1493
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,559
Speaker 3: No lighting the beam? Like, are you sure that they

1494
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 3: still were? And this has been a long time, long time.

1495
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:17,400
Speaker 3: What's the losing streak at right now for the Sacramento.

1496
01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:19,720
Speaker 4: Seventeen sixteen sixteen.

1497
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:23,360
Speaker 3: Sixteen, last time Sacramento Kings won and obviously you don't

1498
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 3: light the beam on the road. The last time that

1499
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:33,440
Speaker 3: the Kings won a home basketball game Friday, January sixteenth,

1500
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 3: Oh goodness, appropriately against those aforementioned Washington Wizards.

1501
01:28:39,320 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, there they are a rock fight. Yep, yep. What

1502
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 4: I would proposed.

1503
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:50,200
Speaker 5: Somebody said this, I can't remember who said it, but

1504
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:54,240
Speaker 5: if you if two teams are playing that are tanking,

1505
01:28:56,320 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 5: whatever points a team scores, it's for the opposing team.

1506
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:03,479
Speaker 4: Yeah. I heard that one too.

1507
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 5: I think that'd be amazing. You know how hard that

1508
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 5: those teams will be playing. Think about that, you know,

1509
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:12,360
Speaker 5: they would be playing you.

1510
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 2: Know what the you know what for me, what the

1511
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 2: issue with that is?

1512
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 3: And and and you know this, when we talk about tanking,

1513
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:23,440
Speaker 3: it doesn't really come in the form of the players

1514
01:29:23,479 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 3: on the court not trying.

1515
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:28,960
Speaker 5: No, the players it is there is to start, players

1516
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:32,640
Speaker 5: who don't want any part of it. They're not in there,

1517
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:33,720
Speaker 5: or the owners don't want to.

1518
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:35,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's they're getting the players.

1519
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:36,960
Speaker 2: They're getting pulled.

1520
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 4: So like people who are out there.

1521
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:43,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, the people on the floor are playing hard. And oh,

1522
01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:47,800
Speaker 3: by the way, they are not interested in improving the

1523
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:51,520
Speaker 3: draft position of their team.

1524
01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 2: That's their replacement they're playing for.

1525
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,680
Speaker 3: So I don't like, it's gotta we got to keep

1526
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:02,479
Speaker 3: it away from asking the players to do anything.

1527
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 5: No, it's it's it's it's on management, it's on ownership.

1528
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:11,280
Speaker 5: I mean, what UTAH is doing should be a crime.

1529
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:13,280
Speaker 2: It is.

1530
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 3: They find them, you know, it's that's out, they penalize them.

1531
01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:23,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, no, it's all it's all kind of

1532
01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 3: coming from a place that I wish didn't exist within

1533
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:31,759
Speaker 3: the DNA. And I think it's even worse when really

1534
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:35,720
Speaker 3: smart people like Mark Cuban hop on social media and

1535
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 3: explain all the reasons why it makes complete sense, and

1536
01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:43,360
Speaker 3: all the comments about how it's been this way all along,

1537
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:46,920
Speaker 3: and here's why we do it, and here's why it

1538
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:50,240
Speaker 3: makes sense. And I keep thinking to myself as I

1539
01:30:50,280 --> 01:30:52,960
Speaker 3: read all of these comments, I'm like, right, it makes

1540
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 3: sense because of the way it's set up.

1541
01:30:56,640 --> 01:30:58,120
Speaker 2: So I don't set it up that way.

1542
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:06,040
Speaker 4: Don't reward one ball losing, like you said, one ball.

1543
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:12,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, So if you don't reward losing, then you you

1544
01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:16,160
Speaker 3: take all of the steam out of this and everybody

1545
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:20,120
Speaker 3: can get back to their DNA as wonderful the best

1546
01:31:20,160 --> 01:31:20,559
Speaker 3: in the world.

1547
01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:28,080
Speaker 4: Competitors and compete, show up and show out.

1548
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:30,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just tough.

1549
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:32,840
Speaker 3: It's tough to hear how many people just don't have

1550
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:34,120
Speaker 3: a problem with.

1551
01:31:35,680 --> 01:31:38,719
Speaker 2: Like fundamentally, what are you doing there?

1552
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, like Sacramento.

1553
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:44,439
Speaker 5: Like for Sacramento, their reasoning is number one, no free

1554
01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 5: agents are coming there.

1555
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:50,960
Speaker 4: Correct, that's not at all. But that's not a new topic. Yeah,

1556
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:54,160
Speaker 4: not going not go ahead. Oklahoma City is the champion.

1557
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:56,840
Speaker 4: Nobody's going there either. Nobody's going there.

1558
01:31:56,960 --> 01:32:00,519
Speaker 3: But if you draft really well, you can get something going.

1559
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:01,400
Speaker 3: They've done it twice.

1560
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:03,000
Speaker 4: But you got to be in the top five of

1561
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:03,599
Speaker 4: the draft.

1562
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 2: YEP.

1563
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:05,320
Speaker 5: So how do you get in the top five of

1564
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:09,880
Speaker 5: the draft lucky?

1565
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:14,160
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you might still have people tank anyway.

1566
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:17,599
Speaker 3: You might have people tank anyway. This is a great

1567
01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:22,160
Speaker 3: year for this conversation. I'm no NBA draft Nick, but

1568
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:25,599
Speaker 3: people I know who are around the league, they're like,

1569
01:32:25,720 --> 01:32:27,559
Speaker 3: this is fifteen to seventeen deep.

1570
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 4: There's a lot of talent out there.

1571
01:32:29,320 --> 01:32:33,599
Speaker 3: So okay, now you're like, I don't need the first pick.

1572
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:39,680
Speaker 3: I just need to not be in the playoffs. And

1573
01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:43,200
Speaker 3: you can draw a line. You can already see. I

1574
01:32:43,240 --> 01:32:46,640
Speaker 3: can sit here today with virtual certainty and tell you

1575
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:51,080
Speaker 3: who the top ten teams are in both conferences, especially

1576
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:51,599
Speaker 3: in the West.

1577
01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:53,599
Speaker 4: Especially in the West.

1578
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:56,839
Speaker 3: We've got a five game gap from ten to eleven

1579
01:32:56,880 --> 01:33:05,120
Speaker 3: in the West. You know, it's funny up here following

1580
01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 3: the Warriors, you got all the injuries. You know, obviously

1581
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:16,639
Speaker 3: Butler gone for the year, Chris tops Is he's sick,

1582
01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:20,000
Speaker 3: so he didn't play. Steph Curry's knee injury is is

1583
01:33:20,080 --> 01:33:22,600
Speaker 3: kind of bugging him. Draymond Green's back tightened up, and

1584
01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:25,640
Speaker 3: people will go, well, just tank, and I'm like, it's

1585
01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 3: too late, too late, It's too late.

1586
01:33:28,479 --> 01:33:29,960
Speaker 4: You can't like you couldn't lose enough.

1587
01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:32,960
Speaker 3: They could lose every game the rest of the way

1588
01:33:33,840 --> 01:33:35,839
Speaker 3: and there's still going to be in the playing tournament.

1589
01:33:38,360 --> 01:33:40,880
Speaker 2: So missed your boat on that one.

1590
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:46,720
Speaker 3: But you know, the Warriors also accurately, I think, you know, publicly,

1591
01:33:46,720 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 3: they're like, that's just not it's not in our DNA.

1592
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:54,000
Speaker 3: We're not we're not going to attempt. We're not going

1593
01:33:54,040 --> 01:33:57,519
Speaker 3: to pull people off the floor. And they firm the.

1594
01:33:57,640 --> 01:34:00,559
Speaker 5: Young guys they got, they out there balling well, and

1595
01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 5: it's hard to thus.

1596
01:34:01,880 --> 01:34:05,960
Speaker 3: Off or exactly, but they firmly stated when STEP's healthy,

1597
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:06,840
Speaker 3: he plays.

1598
01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 2: Like that's that's the way they're going to play the

1599
01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 2: rest of the year.

1600
01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:13,559
Speaker 4: So I got a big win today.

1601
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:15,320
Speaker 2: It was pretty impressive.

1602
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean down their four biggest names and they

1603
01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:21,200
Speaker 3: beat the Nuggets by double digits.

1604
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:22,600
Speaker 5: Beat the Nuggets and they turned it on. It was

1605
01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:27,080
Speaker 5: right four minutes left. Its just it went crazy nuts.

1606
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:30,479
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1607
01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:34,360
Speaker 2: So like I'm digging what Chuck is saying.

1608
01:34:34,439 --> 01:34:36,880
Speaker 3: But then he kind of came with the bonus round,

1609
01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:40,040
Speaker 3: I thought, because when he when he did the part

1610
01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:45,879
Speaker 3: about like stop protecting picks, you trade a pick, gone gone,

1611
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:49,160
Speaker 3: I was like, ooh, I didn't even know I needed

1612
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:52,840
Speaker 3: you to say that gone, but he said it, and

1613
01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 3: I was like, thank you.

1614
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:55,280
Speaker 2: I love that.

1615
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:57,679
Speaker 4: Idea first round protected pick.

1616
01:34:57,960 --> 01:35:05,559
Speaker 5: Okay, just how about this thing about Okc's draft.

1617
01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:07,479
Speaker 4: They got.

1618
01:35:08,479 --> 01:35:12,720
Speaker 5: A couple first round draft picks ye belong to other people, yep,

1619
01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:17,360
Speaker 5: and they're they they may get the first pick in

1620
01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:17,880
Speaker 5: the draft.

1621
01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:21,639
Speaker 3: They might and but the worst part of Oklahoma City's

1622
01:35:21,680 --> 01:35:23,360
Speaker 3: story is that they've done.

1623
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:25,840
Speaker 4: So much of this homegrown.

1624
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:28,280
Speaker 3: I know Shay was a trade, but it was when

1625
01:35:28,320 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 3: he was young. So many of these draft picks have

1626
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:34,639
Speaker 3: been so good, they've been managed so well. But this

1627
01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:36,960
Speaker 3: apron crap, they're not going to get to stay together.

1628
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:42,639
Speaker 3: That's dumb. That's my big rule change if I could

1629
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 3: change anything in the NBA. If you draft a guy,

1630
01:35:46,439 --> 01:35:49,640
Speaker 3: then he didn't count the same against your cat.

1631
01:35:50,520 --> 01:35:53,040
Speaker 2: You should be able to I don't just want bird rights.

1632
01:35:53,640 --> 01:35:56,600
Speaker 3: I want I want bird rights and then some I

1633
01:35:56,760 --> 01:35:58,439
Speaker 3: drafted him, I developed them.

1634
01:35:58,640 --> 01:36:02,120
Speaker 2: I'm keeping him. I think you should be able to

1635
01:36:02,160 --> 01:36:02,439
Speaker 2: do that.

1636
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:14,400
Speaker 5: Yeah that makes sense, it's too easy, too smart. Yeah,

1637
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:15,479
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1638
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:17,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if any of it's ever gonna happen.

1639
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:21,960
Speaker 3: But I loved what he said, man, Absolutely love what

1640
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:27,400
Speaker 3: he said. All right, glad you're with us tonight, Mark

1661
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:35,679
Speaker 3: part of a team that lost some really key people

1662
01:37:35,960 --> 01:37:37,200
Speaker 3: but kept on trucking?

1663
01:37:47,320 --> 01:37:53,400
Speaker 5: Maybe not that's a good question. No, Yeah, it's hard

1664
01:37:53,439 --> 01:37:55,960
Speaker 5: to do. It's very hard to do, difficult to do.

1665
01:37:57,360 --> 01:38:00,840
Speaker 3: It's eyebrow raising when it happens, you know what I mean. Like,

1666
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:02,920
Speaker 3: I still don't know how the Niners went twelve and

1667
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:08,719
Speaker 3: five and went well again, right, and it takes some quirks.

1668
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 3: People will go, you know, they had a really easy schedule,

1669
01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:13,400
Speaker 3: and I'm like, right, but they were all NFL games,

1670
01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:18,479
Speaker 3: and you know, like, it's hard when you lose those people.

1671
01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:22,640
Speaker 2: And we're dealing with it with a lot of teams

1672
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,960
Speaker 2: in the NBA right now, whether it's on purpose or not.

1673
01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 3: You know, the tank I'm interested to see, Like the

1674
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:32,559
Speaker 3: Phoenix Suns have had a really surprisingly good season the

1675
01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:35,799
Speaker 3: thirty three and twenty four, but what's about to happen.

1676
01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:39,360
Speaker 3: Dylan Brooks just broke his hand and Devin Booker is

1677
01:38:39,400 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 3: going to miss at least a week. Are they going

1678
01:38:41,960 --> 01:38:46,639
Speaker 3: to continue to look like themselves? I wonder we were

1679
01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:50,280
Speaker 3: just talking a short time ago about the Warriors not

1680
01:38:50,439 --> 01:38:52,960
Speaker 3: having a great year. But they're thirty and twenty seven

1681
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:57,759
Speaker 3: and they beat Nikola Jokics today without Steph without Jimmy,

1682
01:38:57,800 --> 01:38:59,800
Speaker 3: without Draymond, without Porzingis.

1683
01:39:01,400 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 2: But It really caught my eye.

1684
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:07,559
Speaker 3: With a team that whacked the Warriors around earlier this

1685
01:39:07,640 --> 01:39:12,720
Speaker 3: week and then whacked the Lakers around today, and this

1686
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:14,920
Speaker 3: has got to be the most underdiscussed thing in the

1687
01:39:15,040 --> 01:39:15,960
Speaker 3: NBA this year.

1688
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:18,240
Speaker 2: How are the Celtics thirty seven and nineteen?

1689
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:19,880
Speaker 4: Man, what are we doing here?

1690
01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:26,479
Speaker 3: Jason Tatum's gone, so they're like, well, let's recalibrate, and

1691
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:34,360
Speaker 3: so boom, there goes There goes Holiday, there goes Horford, Horford,

1692
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:39,920
Speaker 3: there goes Porsas And obviously Tatum's not playing. Marcus Smart,

1693
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:44,679
Speaker 3: Marcus Smart. They're thirty seven and nineteen, they're the two seed.

1694
01:39:47,479 --> 01:39:49,840
Speaker 3: How are they like, okay, you can go well, Jaylen

1695
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:50,559
Speaker 3: Brown's good.

1696
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 4: Great.

1697
01:39:51,520 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 2: A lot of teams have a good player.

1698
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:59,280
Speaker 3: You watch them play and they are an oiled machine.

1699
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:02,479
Speaker 4: Zula really got him. He got him cranking on.

1700
01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:04,760
Speaker 2: The man with the way they move the ball and

1701
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:05,880
Speaker 2: the way like it just.

1702
01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:07,840
Speaker 4: Right.

1703
01:40:08,600 --> 01:40:11,960
Speaker 3: You ever watch the first top Gun. We got all

1704
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:15,920
Speaker 3: those bogies like doing that like fireflies all over, just

1705
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:18,680
Speaker 3: coordinated in the sky. That's the way they look when

1706
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:21,240
Speaker 3: they move the ball. They looked actually like Canada did

1707
01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:25,519
Speaker 3: in the third period to day. I know they didn't score,

1708
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:28,639
Speaker 3: but you get my draft. Yeah, and I'm just trying

1709
01:40:28,680 --> 01:40:31,639
Speaker 3: to and then at a smaller scale, I know how

1710
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:35,000
Speaker 3: good OKC is, but how do you do what they did?

1711
01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:37,679
Speaker 3: I mean, no Shay no J dubb J Dubbs missed

1712
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:40,720
Speaker 3: a bunch of games this year. They just go out

1713
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:44,519
Speaker 3: and they don't miss a beat. Just trying to figure

1714
01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:45,120
Speaker 3: it out.

1715
01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:50,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's well coached teams and guys and young guys

1716
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:55,200
Speaker 5: out there trying to prove something. Derek White is an

1717
01:40:55,200 --> 01:41:00,639
Speaker 5: All Star, should have been an All Star. Uh, Prichard

1718
01:41:00,880 --> 01:41:07,120
Speaker 5: is a walking highlight. And Jaylen Brown is playing at

1719
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:11,439
Speaker 5: an MVP level. I mean he could be the league

1720
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:17,599
Speaker 5: MVP this year, right, and coach Missoula could be Coach

1721
01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:27,280
Speaker 5: of the Year. That's a pretty big combination. There's no

1722
01:41:27,400 --> 01:41:28,719
Speaker 5: ego there, everybody playing.

1723
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:35,360
Speaker 3: It's so fascinating to me. You know, like we're coming

1724
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:37,479
Speaker 3: out of the NFL season and.

1725
01:41:37,439 --> 01:41:39,280
Speaker 2: We're very, very conditioned.

1726
01:41:40,479 --> 01:41:43,280
Speaker 3: You know, like look at the Indianapolis Colts. They were

1727
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:47,759
Speaker 3: having an upstart season. Cornerback goes down booms like turning

1728
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:53,280
Speaker 3: a Falcet off night night, and that happens every year

1729
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:58,480
Speaker 3: where it's like, you know, Jayden Daniels deals with injuries,

1730
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:03,400
Speaker 3: night night, the end of that, right, Sam Donald's really

1731
01:42:03,439 --> 01:42:07,120
Speaker 3: good vikings let him go night night, Yeah.

1732
01:42:08,640 --> 01:42:08,800
Speaker 4: Right.

1733
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:14,280
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson is hobbled night night, Joe burrows out night night.

1734
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:18,640
Speaker 3: And it's just I get that, Like I'm bringing up quarterbacks,

1735
01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 3: and I get that that's a set aside.

1736
01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:23,640
Speaker 2: I really do. But it's wild to me to see.

1737
01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:29,000
Speaker 3: An NBA team, and the NBA is so based on stars,

1738
01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:33,040
Speaker 3: to just continue to perform like this in the absence

1739
01:42:33,200 --> 01:42:34,880
Speaker 3: of so many big names.

1740
01:42:38,479 --> 01:42:43,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's you know, well, when you got guys who

1741
01:42:43,880 --> 01:42:46,400
Speaker 5: fit the system, right, Golden State has a lot of that,

1742
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:50,479
Speaker 5: you know, So the heck of a system over there.

1743
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:56,439
Speaker 4: Ball movement, green light to shoot, it's easy.

1744
01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:58,720
Speaker 5: The problem I have with the Lakers they slow the

1745
01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:02,280
Speaker 5: ball to the ball sticks, snowball movement. Luca gets the ball,

1746
01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:05,920
Speaker 5: he takes fifteen shots in the first quarter. I mean,

1747
01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:10,160
Speaker 5: who else is shooting the ball? So you get a

1748
01:43:10,200 --> 01:43:13,320
Speaker 5: whole bunch of people sent around watching. That's the problem

1749
01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:16,040
Speaker 5: I have with the Lakers, the where they're constructed. I

1750
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:20,200
Speaker 5: love ball movement. I love guys being in powered to score.

1751
01:43:24,479 --> 01:43:28,479
Speaker 5: That way, you get guys like you know, Gary Payton,

1752
01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:33,679
Speaker 5: j Gary Payton a second coming in having seventeen eighteen

1753
01:43:33,720 --> 01:43:34,479
Speaker 5: points in the win.

1754

Speaker 9: people who are continuing to bash live golf. Its existence

1848
01:48:49,960 --> 01:48:55,800

1849
01:48:56,680 --> 01:49:01,559
Speaker 9: that competition has actually made the EGA Tour better.

1850

1860
01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:39,639
Speaker 9: I'm just saying more people who call themselves Americans should

1861
01:49:39,680 --> 01:49:42,360
Speaker 9: realize if you only have one gas station company in

1862
01:49:42,400 --> 01:49:45,280
Speaker 9: your town and there's no competition, it's not good for

1863
01:49:45,360 --> 01:49:45,759
Speaker 9: the town.

1864
01:49:45,920 --> 01:49:48,280
Speaker 3: Well, and I think it likes the live thing. And

1865
01:49:48,840 --> 01:49:51,720
Speaker 3: you know, Ephraim's been kind of on this from the beginning, like,

1866
01:49:52,040 --> 01:49:58,040
Speaker 3: just don't demonize people who accept when someone goes you

1867
01:49:58,080 --> 01:50:01,240
Speaker 3: want one hundred and fifty million dollars like yeah, and

1868
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:04,880
Speaker 3: fifty million dollars and play less golf and play less golf,

1869
01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:09,240
Speaker 3: and then you know they get demonized because Saudi this,

1870
01:50:09,360 --> 01:50:11,960
Speaker 3: that or the other. And I don't, boy, I'm not

1871
01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:14,920
Speaker 3: going to diminish that right. But the thing I've always

1872
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:18,680
Speaker 3: said about that is, do you whenever you get a

1873
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:22,160
Speaker 3: job offer, do you say, hey, before I sign this,

1874
01:50:24,479 --> 01:50:26,840
Speaker 3: take me to your corporate leader so that I can

1875
01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:30,559
Speaker 3: meet this person and find out if they're fully fully

1876
01:50:30,600 --> 01:50:33,000
Speaker 3: on the up and up. And when you go through

1877
01:50:33,000 --> 01:50:37,080
Speaker 3: the grocery store, do you stop before every product you buy?

1878
01:50:37,160 --> 01:50:39,599
Speaker 2: When you're on the cereal aisle and you're.

1879
01:50:39,439 --> 01:50:43,160
Speaker 3: Looking at Kellogg's versus General Mills. What do you know

1880
01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:50,479
Speaker 3: about whoever's running those ships? So you're you're right, like

1881
01:50:50,560 --> 01:50:54,400
Speaker 3: this is sort of now full circle, that we've gotten

1882
01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:58,360
Speaker 3: to a point where it's like this was not the

1883
01:50:58,439 --> 01:51:00,679
Speaker 3: big evil thing that it was. It's kind of made

1884
01:51:00,680 --> 01:51:01,040
Speaker 3: out to be.

1885
01:51:01,240 --> 01:51:05,720
Speaker 9: No, and there are as you referenced legitimate negatives to

1886
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:11,080
Speaker 9: Saudi Arabian general and Saudi money specifically. However, in that

1887
01:51:11,160 --> 01:51:13,519
Speaker 9: this is still a free country, you could accept that

1888
01:51:13,640 --> 01:51:17,800
Speaker 9: money and do whatever you wish with it, including human

1889
01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:20,200
Speaker 9: rights charities or any anti.

1890
01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:21,640
Speaker 10: Saudi thing you wish to give to.

1891
01:51:22,040 --> 01:51:24,320
Speaker 4: Very good with Saudi money, very good point.

1892
01:51:25,520 --> 01:51:27,960
Speaker 3: If someone calls me with one hundred and fifty million dollars,

1893
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:29,679
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have a hard time saying no, no matter

1894
01:51:29,680 --> 01:51:33,120
Speaker 3: where the money came from. If all I had to do,

1895
01:51:33,240 --> 01:51:34,720
Speaker 3: like I don't have to do anything illegal, I just

1896
01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 3: wanted to play golf, I'm gonna have a hard time

1897
01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:40,439
Speaker 3: saying now I feel comfortable saying that.

1898
01:51:42,240 --> 01:51:44,759
Speaker 2: So all right, thank you, Steve.

1899
01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 4: Thanks Steve.

1900
01:51:45,640 --> 01:51:47,599
Speaker 2: Hey, I was just looking this up. Did you go

1901
01:51:47,640 --> 01:51:48,440
Speaker 2: to the combine?

1902
01:51:48,800 --> 01:51:49,960
Speaker 4: Yeah? You did?

1903
01:51:50,520 --> 01:51:51,480
Speaker 2: What was your experience?

1904
01:51:51,600 --> 01:51:57,120
Speaker 4: Like, it's terrible? I had a feeling it's terrible, man,

1905
01:51:57,760 --> 01:51:58,280
Speaker 4: It is not.

1906
01:52:01,920 --> 01:52:07,759
Speaker 5: It's weird because it's Indianapolis. Indianapolis, right, So the time

1907
01:52:07,920 --> 01:52:13,920
Speaker 5: change if you're a West coast person, and so when

1908
01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:16,920
Speaker 5: you got there, if you broke any bones, you had

1909
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:19,280
Speaker 5: to Any time I broke my wrists when I was

1910
01:52:19,320 --> 01:52:22,439
Speaker 5: in the tenth grade, I had to go.

1911
01:52:22,479 --> 01:52:26,240
Speaker 4: To the hospital and get X rays. Right.

1912
01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:31,320
Speaker 5: So it was about fifty other people in there in

1913
01:52:31,360 --> 01:52:34,840
Speaker 5: the middle of the night in the hospital, just sitting

1914
01:52:34,880 --> 01:52:44,160
Speaker 5: in line. Then we got back about eleven thirty pm.

1915
01:52:44,280 --> 01:52:50,320
Speaker 5: This is the day you flew in. Yeah, and you

1916
01:52:50,360 --> 01:52:53,640
Speaker 5: had like a couple of meetings. By the time we

1917
01:52:53,680 --> 01:52:59,680
Speaker 5: got up to the room, it was about one thirty am.

1918
01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:03,599
Speaker 5: You had a wake up call at four o'clock because

1919
01:53:03,600 --> 01:53:05,439
Speaker 5: you had a drug test at four thirty.

1920
01:53:06,080 --> 01:53:14,479
Speaker 4: Oh. Four thirty for me was one thirty in the morning.

1921
01:53:20,200 --> 01:53:23,559
Speaker 2: And there was no uh gold medal hockey game for.

1922
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:27,280
Speaker 5: You to watch, I would imagine, and your day goes

1923
01:53:27,320 --> 01:53:31,320
Speaker 5: the whole time you don't it's just no. So after

1924
01:53:31,360 --> 01:53:37,800
Speaker 5: the drug test, then you have like a meeting, you

1925
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:43,720
Speaker 5: get breakfast, then you go do the doctors. They have

1926
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:45,720
Speaker 5: all the teams in there instead of having which is

1927
01:53:45,800 --> 01:53:47,599
Speaker 5: a couple of set doctors. They have all the teams,

1928
01:53:47,640 --> 01:53:50,320
Speaker 5: so you gotta go to every tent, talk to every

1929
01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:58,800
Speaker 5: team doctor. You do that, you get some lunch, you

1930
01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:01,799
Speaker 5: have you're on the field stuff.

1931
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:06,559
Speaker 4: Then you have your test. You take the test.

1932
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:14,560
Speaker 5: It's NonStop until probably one two am. I mean you

1933
01:54:14,680 --> 01:54:17,240
Speaker 5: wiped out. I don't know what. I don't know what

1934
01:54:17,280 --> 01:54:20,240
Speaker 5: it is now. Yeah, but that's what it was back

1935
01:54:20,280 --> 01:54:22,960
Speaker 5: in ninety eight. I bet it's a little different, but

1936
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:23,439
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1937
01:54:23,600 --> 01:54:25,639
Speaker 4: And I pulled my hamstring. Oh damn.

1938
01:54:26,560 --> 01:54:30,720
Speaker 5: So it was the one thing that I excelled in

1939
01:54:30,720 --> 01:54:31,640
Speaker 5: my athleticism.

1940
01:54:31,640 --> 01:54:32,400
Speaker 4: I couldn't even do.

1941
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:38,200
Speaker 11: Couldn't even do it the underwear Olympics.

1942
01:54:39,400 --> 01:54:42,320
Speaker 4: So it was just a whole thing.

1943
01:54:42,600 --> 01:54:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds like a lot.

1944
01:54:45,280 --> 01:54:47,360
Speaker 4: Oh no, I'm not a fan of that, big fan.

1945
01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:52,240
Speaker 3: Okay, we're live in the Fox Sports Radio studios. That's

1946
01:54:52,240 --> 01:54:55,800
Speaker 3: eight from Salam I'm Mark Willard and coming up next

1947
01:54:56,920 --> 01:55:00,120
Speaker 3: actually before we get out of here, just because the

1948
01:55:00,200 --> 01:55:03,080
Speaker 3: Lakers came up a lot today, I gotta I got

1949
01:55:03,080 --> 01:55:05,560
Speaker 3: a Laker question for you, and it's specific to you

1950
01:55:06,480 --> 01:55:08,840
Speaker 3: because it's something that I've been noticing about talking to

1951
01:55:08,880 --> 01:55:11,640
Speaker 3: you about that basketball team, and I want to run

1952
01:55:11,680 --> 01:55:13,920
Speaker 3: it by you, So we'll do that next on Fox

1953
01:55:13,920 --> 01:55:15,920

01:55:16,200 --> 01:55:18,120
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

1955
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:22,280
Speaker 3: Radio Radio, Okay, it's in the Fox Sports Radio studios.

1956
01:55:22,320 --> 01:55:26,520
Speaker 3: That's where we sent Mark Willardy from salam.

1957
01:55:25,640 --> 01:55:28,560
Speaker 2: All Right, I want to I just.

1958
01:55:28,560 --> 01:55:36,040
Speaker 3: Want to say, like, Team USA Hockey was incredible. Obviously,

1959
01:55:36,080 --> 01:55:40,480
Speaker 3: we love what Charles Barkley had to say, fun stuff today.

1960
01:55:40,520 --> 01:55:43,920
Speaker 2: But before we get out of here, I just want

1961
01:55:43,960 --> 01:55:45,240
Speaker 2: to chat with you for five.

1962
01:55:45,080 --> 01:55:51,000
Speaker 3: Minutes about Lebron James because I'm noticing something, Okay, and

1963
01:55:51,040 --> 01:55:54,200
Speaker 3: you'll be like, well duh, But like I want to,

1964
01:55:54,280 --> 01:55:56,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if you and I have actually really

1965
01:55:56,040 --> 01:55:56,840
Speaker 3: gotten into it.

1966
01:55:59,400 --> 01:56:00,880
Speaker 4: You're so.

1967
01:56:02,080 --> 01:56:07,160
Speaker 2: Done with him, you're so so, so, so so done

1968
01:56:07,240 --> 01:56:07,360
Speaker 2: with it.

1969
01:56:07,440 --> 01:56:10,760
Speaker 3: I've never like this year has been different with the

1970
01:56:10,800 --> 01:56:16,240
Speaker 3: way that I listen to you talk about that basketball team.

1971
01:56:16,360 --> 01:56:22,440
Speaker 3: Somehow they've fallen into this weird sort of spot where

1972
01:56:23,360 --> 01:56:24,800
Speaker 3: they're a half.

1973
01:56:24,640 --> 01:56:28,560
Speaker 2: Game behind the Lakers, are the Rockets, they're one game.

1974
01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:33,360
Speaker 3: Behind the Nuggets, like things have gone relatively well.

1975
01:56:34,320 --> 01:56:37,960
Speaker 2: They have star power, they have health, they have a

1976
01:56:37,960 --> 01:56:38,600
Speaker 2: good record.

1977
01:56:40,440 --> 01:56:43,960
Speaker 3: The Laker fans that I know would take a thirty

1978
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:47,480
Speaker 3: four and twenty two record and try to sit me

1979
01:56:47,560 --> 01:56:51,760
Speaker 3: down and explain to me for as many hours as

1980
01:56:51,760 --> 01:56:57,440
Speaker 3: I'll give them that the Lakers you watch, they're gonna

1981
01:56:57,440 --> 01:57:01,520
Speaker 3: turn this thing on with all of their experience in

1982
01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:05,240
Speaker 3: Licordom at the end of the year and go on

1983
01:57:05,320 --> 01:57:10,680
Speaker 3: a run. And you sound, ah, what's the word? What's

1984
01:57:10,720 --> 01:57:13,960
Speaker 3: the word? How would you describe how I look like

1985
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:14,680
Speaker 3: a realist?

1986
01:57:14,920 --> 01:57:16,120
Speaker 4: You dwell.

1987
01:57:17,200 --> 01:57:21,320
Speaker 3: Again, this is not a criticism I'm trying to I'm

1988
01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:27,400
Speaker 3: trying to figure out what you find discouraging about their

1989
01:57:27,440 --> 01:57:28,240
Speaker 3: current situation.

1990
01:57:35,440 --> 01:57:41,320
Speaker 5: The fact that the style that they're playing doesn't work.

1991
01:57:45,160 --> 01:57:51,920
Speaker 5: They can't guard anybody, and so this.

1992
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:55,400
Speaker 4: Is a real stat They have.

1993
01:57:57,080 --> 01:58:03,360
Speaker 5: Two of the top five, or excuse me, two of

1994
01:58:03,400 --> 01:58:08,400
Speaker 5: the top three slowest wing defenders in the starting lineup

1995
01:58:13,240 --> 01:58:18,880
Speaker 5: with Luca and Lebron DeAndre Aiden. I don't know. I

1996
01:58:18,880 --> 01:58:20,840
Speaker 5: can't even put in the words what's going on there.

1997
01:58:24,800 --> 01:58:27,000
Speaker 5: All I'll say is he's the opposite of what we

1998
01:58:27,080 --> 01:58:27,960
Speaker 5: need in the middle.

1999
01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:32,440
Speaker 3: The Lakers as a team, their team defensive rating right

2000
01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:35,000
Speaker 3: now ranks twenty fourth.

2001
01:58:34,680 --> 01:58:35,120
Speaker 4: In the league.

2002
01:58:35,120 --> 01:58:36,800
Speaker 5: It's not gonna get it done, not in the West.

2003
01:58:37,880 --> 01:58:40,920
Speaker 5: So for me, I'm looking at it like Lebron James

2004
01:58:40,960 --> 01:58:43,880
Speaker 5: is still a great player, but he's one of the

2005
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:50,000
Speaker 5: slowest defensive players in the entire league. You can't compete

2006
01:58:50,600 --> 01:58:53,480
Speaker 5: for a championship or a deep run in the playoffs

2007
01:58:54,800 --> 01:59:00,440
Speaker 5: if you can't guard. You're not going to out score

2008
01:59:00,480 --> 01:59:02,080
Speaker 5: your opponents in the playoffs.

2009
01:59:02,520 --> 01:59:04,600
Speaker 4: Teams have tried that, it doesn't work.

2010
01:59:06,400 --> 01:59:10,680
Speaker 5: They'd be better off if they had Vanderbilt and Marcus

2011
01:59:10,680 --> 01:59:18,520
Speaker 5: Smart in the starting lineup. That way, you got real

2012
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:21,720
Speaker 5: like I mean, think about it. You got Austin Reeves,

2013
01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:26,720
Speaker 5: Lebron James, and Luka Doncis, all dynamic All Star caliber

2014
01:59:26,800 --> 01:59:30,320
Speaker 5: offensive players. If Austin Reeves didn't get hurt, they all

2015
01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:32,880
Speaker 5: three would have been in the All Star But they

2016
01:59:32,920 --> 01:59:34,280
Speaker 5: can't guard anybody.

2017
01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:39,520
Speaker 3: So you're you're preaching defense and ball movement and you're

2018
01:59:39,520 --> 01:59:41,280
Speaker 3: not loving on Lebron.

2019
01:59:41,280 --> 01:59:44,760
Speaker 5: No because he slows the ball down and he don't

2020
01:59:44,760 --> 01:59:45,400
Speaker 5: guard anyone.

2021
01:59:45,520 --> 01:59:48,320
Speaker 3: But my question is, are you starting to have second

2022
01:59:48,400 --> 01:59:50,240
Speaker 3: thoughts about Luca No.

2023
01:59:50,840 --> 01:59:54,880
Speaker 4: I think he struck the team the right way around Luca.

2024
01:59:54,320 --> 01:59:56,560
Speaker 2: But that's not ball moving in defense now.

2025
01:59:56,800 --> 01:59:58,520
Speaker 4: No, But what they did and.

2026
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:06,000
Speaker 5: And in Dallas was they had a bunch of three

2027
02:00:06,080 --> 02:00:09,600
Speaker 5: and D guys in the lineup with Luca. That's how

2028
02:00:09,640 --> 02:00:11,560
Speaker 5: you do that, and a and a and a rim runner.

2029
02:00:12,360 --> 02:00:14,000
Speaker 5: That's what you have to do. And if you don't

2030
02:00:14,040 --> 02:00:15,440
Speaker 5: have that, it doesn't work with Luca.

2031
02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:16,480
Speaker 4: Austin.

2032
02:00:16,880 --> 02:00:22,120
Speaker 5: Austin reeves and Luca do the same thing. Okay, So

2033
02:00:22,160 --> 02:00:27,960
Speaker 5: who's catching the lob? Who's spotting up a shooting a three?

2034
02:00:28,240 --> 02:00:33,680
Speaker 3: That can be okay, go get some food now for

2035
02:00:33,840 --> 02:00:36,560
Speaker 3: you from I'm Mark. Everybody, have a good night.
